Chapter 46: The Step-by-Step Erosion of Kushina

"Such good eyesight?"

Kushina Uzumaki muttered.

She can barely see where she's going.

"If you're scared, then come with me."

Kiyoshi made Kushina follow behind him.

Konoha is technologically advanced, with modern equipment such as refrigerators and displays.

However, it's normal for streetlights to break down. I've never seen this place renovated; most of the buildings here are old.

"it is good."

Kushina agreed to Kiyoshi's suggestion and followed behind.

Well, it's quite different from the usual scenery.

The broken streetlights were a rare experience for Kushina.

She looked in a dark direction, her eyes slightly dimmed.

Kiyoshi happened to turn around and caught a glimpse of the change in Kushina's eyes out of the corner of his eye.

In the Naruto world, every ninja village is extremely averse to "the power of sacrifice".

The "power of sacrifice" refers to the so-called Jinchuriki, who uses their own existence to seal the Tailed Beast and coexist with it.

Unfortunately, such heroic sacrifices are not appreciated by many.

In the vast Hidden Leaf Village, Kushina's only place of activity was within the circular sealing barrier centered on the Uzumaki clan's shrine.

It means that she can't even finish exploring Konoha, and every day she can only see the same scenery over and over again, trapped in the "whirlpool" of the present era, unable to escape, over and over again...

In addition, there will be two hidden surveillance teams monitoring the area at all times.

"My name is Uchiha Kiyoshi. What's your name?"

After walking a few steps, Kiyoshi pretended to be curious.

"I……"

Kushina glanced at Kiyoshi walking ahead, seemingly hesitating whether to tell her her name.

Suddenly, the name seemed familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere before.

Kushina thought about it carefully and finally had a clue.

"I've heard of you from Minato. Are you a foreigner from the Land of Lightning?"

Kushina's rosy lips parted slightly.

"Yes, I only came to Konoha a few months ago and I'm quite familiar with the place now, but unfortunately there are still many unfamiliar places."

Kiyoshi's tone was tinged with loneliness.

The Art of Speaking (White) can make his words more sincere.

However, the greater the opponent's status compared to Qing Si, the weaker the effect.

"Me too, my name is Kushina Uzumaki."

Kushina, standing behind, excitedly patted her chest, causing a slight tremor in one's heart.

"I also came from outside, but I arrived a few years earlier than you."

This was the first time Kushina had met someone who had experienced something similar to her own.

Because after the Land of Whirlpools was destroyed, she was the only one who came here as the last descendant of the Whirlpool clan.

The remaining members of the clan who survived scattered throughout the ninja world, living in anonymity and no longer using Uzumaki as their surname.

Overwhelmed with excitement, Kushina began asking Kiyoshi about his experience in Konoha.

Kiyoshi stopped and started chatting with Kushina.

Kushina's vibrant red hair and delicate face were reflected in her black eyes.

The power of his pupils fluctuated.

It must be said that Kushina was quite charming as Naruto's mother.

Kiyoshi suppressed this slight unease; the Anbu were still keeping an eye on things.

It's enough to connect with Kushina today; we can take things slowly and gradually erode her influence.

With this increase in Kiyoshi's eye power, Kushina will likely no longer suffer the tragic fate of the original story.

Everyone has a bright future.

After a while, the two gradually emerged from the alley, and the light from the streetlights in the distance grew brighter, shining on them.

The shadows on Kiyoshi's face became even deeper under the changing light and shadow.

…………

Konoha Street.

Hinata Natsumi queued for quite a while before finally buying the dessert, and then quickly headed towards the Hinata clan's territory.

"You came back so late."

Hinata Ginka, who had gone out for a stroll, ran into Hinata Natsu, who was returning.

"Madam Yinhua, we were delayed on the way."

Hinata Natsu bowed her head and recounted her experiences on the way.

"Uchiha?"

A thoughtful look flashed in Hyuga Ginka's eyes. It seemed that a new Uchiha had arrived in the village, and the clan head had instructed all the Hyuga clan members not to let the Byakugan be revealed. He also checked the "Caged Bird Seal" on the heads of the branch family members.

"The Uchiha are an inherently evil clan; avoid contact with them."

Hyuga Ginka opened her mouth.

"……yes."

Because it was Hinata Ginka's order, Hinata Natsumi couldn't object.

Although she didn't know why the Uchiha were said to be "born evil."

The two left the street and walked away into the distance.

"These people really like to judge others with prejudice."

Kushina and Kiyoshi emerged from the alley and overheard someone saying something about "the Uchiha, who are born evil."

She had also been bullied because of her red hair, and felt a strong sense of sympathy for the bullies.

"It's okay."

Kiyoshi shook his head.

The Uchiha clan was born evil.

His unique way of awakening his Sharingan destined him to never become a "kind" Uchiha.

Whether it's Kushina, Hinata Natsu, or the main family, they will all become resources for him to become stronger.

"Well then, see you next time."

Kiyoshi waved goodbye.

Kushina responded in kind.

After Kiyoshi left, a blond man approached Kushina.

"Sorry, I was out on a mission today and came back late."

The man smiled apologetically, his face gentle.

"This is a one-time exception, Minato."

Kushina forgave Minato Namikaze for being late this time.

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly thought of Uchiha Kiyoshi, who had a similar experience to hers, and he didn't seem to have noticed anything unusual about her red hair.

"What's wrong?"

Minato Namikaze took a breath to calm himself down after running there.

I thought Kushina was just saying she was fine, but was actually sulking inside.

"fine."

Kushina shook her head.

Minato Namikaze scratched his head, looking puzzled.

…………

A month later, Kiyoshi finally memorized the basic theoretical knowledge.

The school will distribute books, and they've reissued all the old ones.

Actually, this isn't a lot, because those who attend ninja academies are mostly just kids.

The six-year system was chosen because children's memory and concentration need to be taken into account.

He has the soul of an adult and learns very quickly.

Later, the Uchiha clan also gave Kiyoshi some materials, which were the kind of early education that ordinary Uchiha ninjas would receive.

Therefore, Kiyoshi mastered all of these skills through self-study.

"Hey, Kiyoshi, are you graduating early?"

Kurenai Yuhi, who had just gotten used to receiving tutoring from Kiyoshi, felt like the sky was falling when she heard the news.

Even though her father, Kurenai Yuhi, taught her illusion magic, and knew more about it than Kiyoshi.

However, interacting with peers is obviously easier than facing a strict father.

"Yes, I submitted my application yesterday."

Kiyoshi spoke.

"Then...then I'll graduate early too."

Kurenai thought for a moment and said.

Many of the things taught at the ninja academy were actually taught to her by her father at home.

Only ordinary people need to study step by step. Before that, many students from ninja clans who have resources can graduate early.

Of course, there are different levels of early graduation, and Kakashi's grades are in the highest tier.

Are you sure?

Kiyoshi gazed at the crimson sunset.

Yuhi Akane's face was a little chubby and looked soft. At this moment, her little face was tense, and she looked very serious.

"Um."

Kurenai Yuhi nodded.
