"Seiji, be careful!"
"It's a live slug," the live slug reminded him.
"Understood, Lord Live Slug."
Kiyoshi used a respectful term for the live slug.
Despite her humble and gentle demeanor towards everyone, the Living Slug is also a Living Slug Immortal in the Wet Bone Forest, possessing great strength and a high status.
She, the Great Toad Sage, and the White Snake Sage are very likely beings from the same era.
However, the slug race is not as numerous as snakes and toads; the slugs of Shikkotsu Forest are all clones of the Living Slug Sage.
Besides the live slug, the only other well-known slug is the six-tailed rhinoceros hound.
"They're here."
The slug opened its mouth and infused Kiyoshi with her chakra.
Kiyoshi could feel a cool sensation emanating from his body.
Bang!
He raised his hand to block the four fingers that the Third Raikage was thrusting at him.
The four fingers were wrapped in surging arcs of electricity, crackling and popping.
"Lightning Release Chakra Mode... With your current skill level alone, you're comparable to my son."
The Third Raikage uttered an incredulous exclamation.
But his hands kept moving.
Kiyoshi and the Third Raikage moved like two swift bolts of lightning, constantly flying and intertwining.
Every touch produces a burst of air and dazzling sparks.
It's hard to tell whether it's because of Kiyoshi's ninja sword or the Third Raikage's tough skin!
As time passed, the two exchanged more than three hundred moves in just one minute.
During this time, the Third Raikage's admiration for Kiyoshi grew stronger and stronger.
The number of fingers has also decreased from four to three, and there are signs that it will continue to decrease.
"Your physical talent is also quite good, perfectly inheriting the bloodline of Night Moon. You are one of our Cloud Village people."
The Third Raikage extended his hand, seemingly inviting Kiyoshi.
Kiyoshi breathed a slight sigh of relief as his depleted chakra rapidly recovered.
The slug clone on his shoulder disappeared into smoke with a bang after transmitting its last bit of chakra.
This is just a small clone, and the amount of chakra it can transfer is limited.
Their size determines the maximum chakra these summoning beasts can possess, which is why they are all incredibly large.
"Come back from Konoha. With your current abilities, you will be valued by the village."
The Third Raikage said calmly.
Both of them stopped fighting at that moment.
The gray fog and sandstorm still shrouded the area, and the two could only sense each other's chakra fluctuations.
Rumble!
The landslides have not stopped.
Kiyoshi could occasionally hear the commotion of the Iwagakure ninja above.
Occasionally, Tsunade would call out to herself.
Kiyoshi understood that he couldn't stay here for too long.
When those Iwa ninjas fight Tsunade, they will discover that Tsunade suffers from hemophobia.
Kiyoshi didn't want Tsunade to die here like this.
She's the best medical ninja, and she'll be very useful in the future.
"Third Raikage, Konoha has given me so much, what can you offer me in return?"
Kiyoshi spoke up in response to the Third Raikage's suggestion.
"You copied the ninjutsu of the Land of Lightning in such a short time, which means your body is extremely adapted to these ninjutsu. The Cloud Village's ninjutsu library can be opened for you."
The Third Raikage opened his arms.
He was impatient and, in the eyes of ordinary people, a crude and uncouth man.
But as the Third Raikage, he was also a thoughtful person who could become Raikage.
However, most of the time, absolute power can subdue many problems.
"I finally managed to integrate into Konoha, but if I go back to Kumogakure, won't I be ostracized again?"
Kiyoshi pretended to be somewhat interested and spoke up.
Then, as if remembering something, he quickly shook his head.
The Third Raikage couldn't see Kiyoshi's face; he could only judge Kiyoshi's actions based on the emotions in his words and the subtle twisting of dust in the air.
He sensed Kiyoshi's... hesitation.
The Third Raikage grinned and said:
"Don't worry, when I get back I will clarify things for you. You were just unlucky to be brought to Konoha and ran into some Konoha ninjas. Besides, by relation, you are the distant nephew of the previous Raikage."
The Third Raikage's tone became much more serious at this point.
If Kiyoshi's location hadn't been so remote, allowing the Uchiha clan to seize the initiative, things wouldn't have become so complicated.
Whenever he thought of this, the Third Raikage felt a sense of frustration, as if his own treasure had been stolen.
Judging by his age, Kiyoshi has reached the age where he can sow seeds.
How much new vitality can it contribute to the next generation of the Hidden Clouds?
At that time, it will combine the Sharingan's insight with Yotsuki's physical reflexes.
You could say they're a race specifically designed for combat!
Even if he didn't awaken the Sharingan, Yotsuki's powerful physique would be a safety net.
Kiyoshi is able to perfectly integrate these two bloodlines, and as long as he has enough children, there will always be offspring who can inherit his advantages.
"But……"
Hearing Kiyoshi's still hesitant voice, the Third Raikage spoke:
"The Iwa ninja will surround this place soon and find our location... Here, I'll give you these."
The Third Raikage began to verbally explain some of the secrets and training methods of Lightning Release ninjutsu.
He spoke very quickly, stopping his explanation after only a few minutes.
"These are some of the Lightning Release techniques I know. You must have heard of the Black Lightning Release, which only I can use."
The Third Raikage spoke.
This is a move he created himself.
No one in the village could learn this trick, making it the perfect way to prove one's sincerity.
Moreover, by deliberately speeding up the speech, Kiyoshi would inevitably be able to remember only a limited amount of information!
Let him have a brief moment of glory to see just how exquisite the ninjutsu of Kumogakure is.
"I've heard of it."
Kiyoshi was secretly pleased, quite surprised.
He thought the Third Raikage would force him to leave, but it turns out he's smart enough to use these tactics to win him over.
Indeed, never take others for fools.
Kiyoshi's mind was filled with all the knowledge he had just heard.
Each evolution of the Sharingan brings forth ocular power that nourishes the physical body.
The brain is also one of the things that give back to the brain.
With the combined support of his Sharingan and the dictionary entries, Kiyoshi easily memorized these words.
"You have mastered the entry: 【Photographic Memory (Blue)】."
[Entry: Photographic Memory (Blue)]
[Requirement achieved: Memorize more than 3,000 characters at once.]
Progress: (Completed)
[Effect: Your brain reaches a certain stage of qualitative change, and your subconscious will remember everything you want to remember. You begin to have a photographic memory, and things you have seen once will be clearly remembered in your mind.]
The "Wisdom" value has increased by 40% from its original value.
[Note: Further advanced levels are available.]
"My physical abilities are getting better and better, making it easier to trigger certain attributes."
Kiyoshi secretly said.
This term is essentially the same as hyperthymesia, except it's not as torturous. Even unwanted memories are firmly remembered.
Judging from the description of the entry, only things that Kiyoshi himself wants to remember will be remembered, triggering the photographic memory effect.
"Then let's meet next week in the Land of Grass... here. I hope to see you here."
The Third Raikage mentioned a location.
The subtext is that if he doesn't see anyone here, he will resort to drastic measures.
Given the chaos during the war, any ninja could potentially be sent to the front lines, so there was always a way to abduct Kiyoshi.
"no problem."
Qing Si responded.
The Third Raikage was just trying to scare himself.
It's a pity that this place will become the grave of the Third Raikage!
The subsequent agreement was, of course, nonsense.
Seeing Kiyoshi's generous agreement, the Third Raikage felt a little relieved.
He wanted to continue testing the waters, but the circumstances here simply didn't allow it.
While they were talking, some Iwa ninja had already infiltrated the area.
The gray fog and dust, swept away by the wind, grew thinner and thinner.
"They're here!"
A ninja from Iwagakure shouted.
puff!
The Third Raikage cleaved the ninja in two with a hand chop, splattering blood and bits of flesh all over the ground.
However, all the Iwagakure ninja from other places began to flock here.
They used earth-escape ninjutsu to reinforce the mountain and prevent further collapse.
Earth Escape Technique: Earthquake Core!
Many Iwagakure ninjas began forming hand seals simultaneously.
This ninjutsu can control the rise or fall of any shape of land within a certain range. As long as enough ninjas release "Earth Release: Earthquake Core", it can move mountains and overturn seas!
This technique is commonly used by Iwagakure ninja to dig trenches.
The sunken mountainside began to rise steadily.
The earth groaned once more.
Kiyoshi could feel his position rising steadily.
Both of them have to stay here!
After the falling mountain had risen to a certain extent, Huang Tu clasped his hands together in prayer.
Several elite Jonin were around him, all making the same movements as him.
Earth Release: Mountain Earth Technique!
This is currently the most powerful ninjutsu used by Huangtu.
It can create two giant hemispheres out of clay to trap the opponent and stop them from moving.
Legend has it that the ninja who created this technique used it to stop a powerful tailed beast.
Now there's no need to expend chakra to create soil blocks; you only need to move the mountain walls on the left and right.
The remaining chakra amplified the power of this attack.
The two sides begin to quickly clamp together towards the middle.
The observant Iwagakure ninja had already evacuated.
Leave behind a group of Iwagakure ninja used for luring.
"Seiji, come up quickly!"
The commotion caught Tsunade's attention.
She stood on a huge, live slug, her face marked with black lines.
It was obvious that the "Yin Seal Release" had been used, and all the chakra that had been stored up over the years was released at this moment.
"Hurry up!"
Tsunade urged her once again.
Such a ninjutsu must be intended to bury Kiyoshi and the Third Raikage alive in the mountains!
No ninja could bear the weight of a mountain.
"It's too late."
A smile appeared on Huang Tu's lips.
If he accomplishes the feat of leaving behind the Third Raikage, his father will look at him with new respect.
Konoha has what is known as the "Will of Fire".
Iwagakure also possesses a similar spirit, which is symbolized by the "Will of Stone"—unyielding and unwavering!
Rumble!
The Third Raikage moved with lightning speed, quickly stepping onto the mountainside and using the momentum to climb upwards.
Unfortunately, the Iwagakure ninja above had already made preparations in advance, and the stone lid was constantly closing.
