Later, the First Raikage, had ceded the Valley of the Clouds and Lightning to the Yotsuki clan.
To be able to adapt to such a harsh environment, live there for generations, they must possess unique physical talents.
And the physical body is an external manifestation of Yang Release.
Kiyoshi deduced that his Yang Chakra nature might have originated from the Yotsuki clan.
The more vitality a person's body contains, the faster their self-healing ability will naturally be.
It's just that his vitality shouldn't be as vigorous as that of the Senju and Uzumaki clans.
After confirming that no one was watching, Kiyoshi stretched and pretended to go to the toilet.
After closing the door, Kiyoshi pulled out a slip of paper.
It was a very ordinary small slip of paper, about the size of two fingernails.
On the front, a small string of black characters were written.
"Yotsuki Kiyoshi, no matter what, you are a member of Kumogakure, and Kumogakure will always open its doors for you."
Reading it, Kiyoshi raised an eyebrow.
The text on this note was written in ordinary characters, rather than the usual practice of ninjas, using encrypted codes and the like.
He couldn't understand complicated secret languages anyway, and he hadn't even finished ninja school yet.
Presumably, Kumogakure had taken this into consideration and had done it on purpose.
After turning over the note, Kiyoshi saw a string of addresses, it was an ordinary shop.
"The location of Kumogakure's spy..."
Kiyoshi tore the note into pieces and threw them into the toilet.
As soon as the paper met water, the handwriting on it gradually disappeared until there was no trace of it left.
Kiyoshi expressionlessly pressed the flush button, and with the agitation of the water flow, the shredded paper rushed into the pipes under the toilet.
Kumogakure knew that they had missed out on an Uchiha and were probably regretting it deeply.
But since Kiyoshi was already in Konoha, the Kumogakure could only resort to such subtle means.
The current Konoha is not the Konoha of the future that the Kumogakure dared to abduct the Hyuga princess from, that was Konoha during it's weakest period.
At that time, Sakumo had committed suicide for many years, the Fourth Hokage had died, the Sannin had left, and Konoha, had just started recovering from the Nine-Tails Rebellion a few years ago.
In contrast, Kumogakure was thriving, so it naturally dared to use tough methods.
They forced Konoha to put forward the head of the Hyuga clan head.
If Hizashi wasn't there, Hiashi would have been the one to die.
The address on the back of the note was actually Kumogakure's sincerity.
Kiyoshi could report this spy to Konoha at any time and receive a reward.
He could also do the opposite. He could demand benefits from Kumogakure, or return to Kumogakure.
However, returning to Kumogakure is the last resort, and Kiyoshi would not choose to do so unless absolutely necessary.
Going to Kumogakure would mean losing his freedom and being constantly monitored and controlled.
Kiyoshi didn't believe that they wouldn't conduct research on him.
The research wouldn't necessarily be slicing his body apart.
But they will probably extract a portion of blood and cells within a safe range, and do so again after he recovers.
And they would likely treat him as a stud, constantly breeding.
In that case, Kiyoshi would be completely drained in a few years.
Kiyoshi was interested in women.
But he didn't like this tough attitude, treating himself like livestock.
Moreover, Kumogakure would never give him an opportunity to become stronger.
They won't risk him escaping from Kumogakure 's control, and will only treat him as a breeding machine.
Then they will focus on cultivating Kiyoshi's offspring and brainwash them to dedicate themselves to the Kumogakure.
In Konoha, even with the crisis of the Uchiha Massacre, Kiyoshi still has the opportunity to learn ninjutsu and continue to become stronger.
All things in this world have long been marked with prices in the dark.
If you want to get something, you have to bear that part of the price.
Life is a continuous process of choosing.
Staying in Konoha or Kumogakure both have their advantages and disadvantages
At least at this moment, it is safer to be in Konoha and he will get more time to become stronger.
"Kiyoshi, are you home?"
While Kiyoshi was thinking about how to get some benefits from the Kumogakure, a familiar voice came from outside.
It was Mikoto.
Kiyoshi knew that it was the Root's investigation.
He put down the book he was reading, and went to the kitchen to wash his face with water.
Then he tried to make himself look clean and tidy.
He breathed at the mirror to confirm there was no smell, and went to open the door.
The Uchiha settlement in Konoha has an independent area where only Uchiha clansmen live.
Kiyoshi was also assigned a somewhat dilapidated house, the only advantage was that it was empty.
"Mikoto-sama."
Kiyoshi said respectfully, as if he was a little afraid of Mikoto.
Mikoto was a Jonin, and he was just a student at ninja school.
Even though Kiyoshi had lived two lives, he couldn't show the calmness that didn't fit his current age.
Sometimes, showing weakness is the best disguise.
"Kiyoshi, you don't have to be so respectful to me." Mikoto shook her head and chuckled.
Was she that scary?
Kiyoshi lowered his head, his black short hair covering his expression, making it difficult for Mikoto to see his specific expression.
Mikoto said, "I said last time, just call me sister."
"Okay, Mikoto-nee." Kiyoshi called out.
Mikoto nodded and reached out to introduce another figure behind her.
The medical ninja's voluptuous figure was completely inconsistent with the compassionate expression on her face.
Her plump figure could be described as lewd.
"This is Yakushi Nono, the captain of the medical corps."
"Hello, I'm Yakushi Nono."
Yakushi Nono showed a smile and said, "I'm here to see if there's anything wrong with your eyes."
"Thank you, Nono-sama."
Kiyoshi led the two inside.
Before long, Mikoto and Nono were sitting at a low table on the tatami mats.
Kiyoshi then entered the kitchen, and stood on tiptoe on a stool. He took out some tea bags, boiled hot water, and made two cups of tea.
Nono looked at Kiyoshi's thin figure constantly busy, and felt a sense of pity in her heart.
Perhaps it was because she had undergone too much training in Root to eliminate her emotions.
Or maybe it was because her hands were stained with blood, and she was accustomed to the darkness hidden beneath the glamour.
But she had begun to like these pure children. They were flawless like pieces of jades of different colors.
"Please have some tea."
Kiyoshi set two cups of tea on the table, and sat on the other side.
"Thank you."
Kiyoshi's tea was very cheap and inexpensive but Mikoto still took a few sips politely.
Nono picked up the teacup and looked at Kiyoshi.
Pity was pity, but the serious business still had to be done.
The green eyes under the round glasses carefully observed every change in Kiyoshi's facial expression, and she began to ask Kiyoshi some things that seemed unrelated to the diagnosis.
Kiyoshi answered them one by one.
Nono asked very obscure things, probing Kiyoshi to see if he was a spy.
She even used some special ninjutsu to strengthen the mental pressure Kiyoshi faced when facing her.
Mikoto remained silent on the side, looking at the ceiling reflected on the surface of the tea.
The ceiling was covered with old wooden boards, which looked a little decayed, and moths were resting near the incandescent lamp.
Just as Mikoto was distracted, suddenly, a black spider quietly crawled over and bit the moth with its hideous, sharp jaws.
Mikoto came back to her senses and stared carefully there, only to find that the moth was surrounded by imperceptible cobwebs.
"How slow." Mikoto muttered softly.
Nono had already finished her conversation with Kiyoshi and was using some instruments to examine Kiyoshi's eyes.
