Kakashi's gaze fell on Kiyoshi.
A C-rank mission suddenly escalating to A-rank or higher.
A ninja like Kiyoshi, who could still complete the mission under such circumstances, is a good teammate.
It was hard to imagine that a dead last like Obito was actually from the same clan as Kiyoshi.
"It's mainly because Tsunade-sama is amazing." Kiyoshi said.
This wasn't just modesty. Without Tsunade summoning Katsuyu to buy time, escaping would have been several times more difficult.
If Tsunade happened to collapse on the ground at the sight of blood, Kiyoshi would have to carry three people while running away…
"Kiyoshi, I've already managed to extract some of that chakra. Please continue to guide me when you have time." Rin suddenly said.
Besides medical ninjutsu, the ninjutsu she was spending the most time on right now was Lightning Release.
She could barely extract Lightning chakra now, but it was very weak. She couldn't even use the weakest Lightning Release ninjutsu.
"Of course, no problem."
Kiyoshi looked at Rin meaningfully.
There was no reason for Kiyoshi to refuse something that was offered to him.
He was saving her, saving Rin from her tragic fate of death.
Thinking of such a heroic act, his pupil power suddenly increased slightly again.
Kiyoshi's upper limit of chakra also lifted a little.
'After mastering Mōryō's power, it will allow Rin to adapt faster, right?' Kiyoshi thought to himself.
Even if someone doesn't have a certain chakra nature innately, they can still use that chakra nature's ninjutsu.
But the power is greatly reduced.
But through acquired training, it can be continuously increased, thereby becoming the same as innate ability.
If Mōryō's power is used on Rin, it will definitely reduce the time required.
Correspondingly, Rin will also get used to the stimulation of Lightning Release.
It's like wet cement. When the cement is placed in a mold and solidified, it will become the shape of the mold.
What shape will Rin take?
Kiyoshi was looking forward to it. There is one more reason to master the power of Mōryō quickly.
…
Somewhere outside the base
"Raiga-sama, Konoha ninjas are stationed ahead." Ringo reported to a man.
That man had long green hair, thick lips, and a mouth full of sharp teeth.
"What about the other members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen?"
Raiga glanced at Ringo casually.
This woman covets his Kiba very much.
That was nothing. The swords of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were very rare among ninja tools, and in Kirigakure, they were also a symbol of honor and status.
Ringo said, "They are already on their way and will arrive tomorrow."
"Good."
Raiga, carrying two strangely shaped blades on his back, walked towards the Kirigakure camp.
This group of Uchiha staying here would cause trouble. They had to be attacked before they could build their base properly.
After Raiga left, Ringo looked at the two blades on his back with fiery eyes.
'Hehe, after a while, I'll snatch his swords.' Ringo revealed a smile.
She was very eager to become one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
Challenging the Seven Ninja Swordsmen was not considered a crime in Kirigakure.
Those weapons belonged to those who had the ability to obtain it.
After all, it's the survival of the fittest in Kirigakure.
Ringo, who had initially not adapted to such rules, had now become actively accepting.
…
The next afternoon
"Fugaku was ambushed…"
Kiyoshi listened to an Uchiha Jonin telling the people in the base about the situation on the front lines.
A group of ninjas with decent strength were drawn from here. The usually excellent Kiyoshi was among them.
He quickly prepared his luggage and followed the support unit.
"Fugaku-sama is stalemated with the enemy on the front lines."
Tekka's scalp tingled, wondering how strong the enemies ahead would be.
Weren't they just going there to be slaughtered?
"Relax, Tekka, isn't there Kiyoshi-senpai? He should be much stronger than you." Emi waved her hand and said.
"Am I your teammate or is Kiyoshi your teammate?"
Tekka strongly condemned Emi's behavior of siding with an outsider.
"The war is ever-changing, and no one can guarantee that they will live." Kiyoshi shook his head and said.
Then the group continued on their way. There were more than a dozen people, all Uchiha.
The Hyuga clan was guarding near the front lines and the base, and they would converge after they passed.
Boom!
When crossing a stream, a water dragon emerged from the quiet forest.
Some Uchiha were unable to dodge and were smashed to pieces by the impact of the water.
Blood and minced meat was scattered in the air, and Obito was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.
Kakashi, who had seen many bloody scenes, appeared much calmer and drew a short sword from his back.
"Enemy attack!"
The pupils of the Uchiha Jonin in charge of leading the team shrank and turned scarlet, with three tomoes spinning on them.
"Oh, they're actually here."
Raiga grinned hideously.
Several members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were fighting against powerful ninjas such as Fugaku and Hizashi.
He had deliberately avoided the Byakugan users, detoured to the rear, and came here to catch them off guard.
After he came out, Kirigakure ninjas came out one after another behind him.
"You are Uchiha… Kiyoshi?"
Raiga glanced around the group of Uchiha and only found two familiar faces.
One was Minato, who had risen to fame recently, and had recently gained the reputation of Yellow Flash.
The other was Kiyoshi.
Kirigakure records the information about genius ninjas from enemy countries in order to strangle them in the cradle and weaken the enemy's power.
Raiga knew a thing or two about special people like Kiyoshi.
It was said that he had ranked among the best in the Chunin Exams and had survived the pursuit of Sunagakure.
Mei, that kid, had always seemed resentful towards Kiyoshi. He wondered what kind of psychological shadow it had left.
Raiga thought of this and licked the corner of his mouth.
What he liked most was strangling geniuses, the rarer the better.
A genius like Kiyoshi, who possessed a Kekkei genkai, was simply tempting him to kill.
"Raiga-sama, he is Kiyoshi."
The next moment, Raiga drew his twin blades and stuck them in the ground.
Boom!
Blue currents of electricity surged past, quickly attacking several people.
Minato threw out a special kunai, taking Obito and Kakashi, who were closest to the lightning, away.
Kiyoshi spat out a fireball towards the ground, piercing through the spread of electricity.
A trace of appreciation flashed in the eyes of Jonin Horikawa.
Kiyoshi's reaction had far exceeded the scope of a Chunin.
He first spat out a Fire Release, and then threw out several shurikens.
Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson!
Flames were attached to the flying shurikens, making the shurikens mixed with scorching heat scatter all over the sky.
Ringo opened her palm and threw out dense arrow-shaped electric currents.
Boom!
The scene instantly became chaotic.
