In the next room, Ino's soft, repetitive movements could be clearly heard by him.
She could hear the girl sighing softly at times, and sometimes burying her face in the pillow, making a soft rubbing sound. Clearly, tonight's experience had left this girl, who lived alone, feeling unsettled.
Kiyoshi could imagine the complex expression on her face, sometimes confused, sometimes shy.
He didn't disturb her, but quietly observed this unique trouble that belonged to a young girl.
"Youth, ah, I'm not exactly young anymore."
Kiyoshi stroked his chin.
But his appearance remained the same, always looking young.
……
The next day.
Hyuga clan.
As dawn broke, Hinata, the leader of the group, had already changed into her signature modified training outfit, which perfectly accentuated her beautiful and voluptuous figure.
She tidied her slightly messy black hair in front of the mirror, her bright white eyes sparkling with eagerness.
"Sister, where are you going so early?"
A slightly childish but already somewhat aloof voice rang out.
Hyuga Hanabi, dressed in traditional Hyuga attire, appeared at the door, looking at her older sister, who was clearly dressed up carefully, though still in a delinquent style, with a puzzled expression.
"Children should stay out of the adult business."
Hinata, the leader, was in a good mood. For once, she didn't use an overly aggressive tone. She simply waved her hand casually, and in a flash, she leaped out of the courtyard and hurried towards the flower shop.
Hanabi frowned as she looked in the direction her sister had disappeared.
My sister's behavior has been getting stranger and stranger lately, especially after Neji told me that she was shopping with a strange man.
Neji said that man was handsome, but a bit fierce...
Driven by curiosity, Hanabi moved swiftly and followed silently.
……
The streets of Konoha were fresh in the early morning, and there were few pedestrians.
The flower shop in the mountains had just opened, and Ino was carefully watering the flowers.
She changed into an elegant light green dress and wore an apron embroidered with small flowers, looking fresh and lovely.
Kiyoshi stood inside the shop, looking at the vibrant plants with great interest.
"Mr. Kiyoshi, this is a hydrangea. Its flower language is hope, fidelity, and eternity..."
Ino spoke softly, a serene smile on her face.
She picked up a pale blue flower and said:
"This is a bellflower, representing eternal love, sincerity, and obedience..."
Just then, a cheerful but slightly unpleasant voice broke the atmosphere in the flower shop.
"Kiyoshi-kun, I'm here."
Hinata, the leader of the group, rushed into the flower shop like a whirlwind. Her full breasts rose and fell slightly with her rapid running, and her tightly bound top made them look even more impressive.
The knot at her waist accentuated her slender waist and ample hips, making her look even more voluptuous and youthful.
As soon as she came in, she very naturally took Kiyoshi's arm again, as if it were her exclusive right.
When Ino saw her, she instinctively shrank her shoulders like a frightened little rabbit, and her voice, which was explaining the meaning of flowers, stopped abruptly, a hint of fear showing in her eyes.
"Don't be afraid, she'll be fine."
Kiyoshi patted Ino's hand and comforted her calmly.
Hinata, the leader, glared at Ino, but refrained from reacting because Kiyoshi was present. She merely snorted, then moved even closer to Kiyoshi, leaning almost her entire weight against him, and whispered:
"Kiyoshi, come on, I'll take you to eat other delicious food. Konoha has so many great dishes..."
Hinata, the eldest sister, said this, and tried to take Kiyoshi's arm to another place.
at the same time.
Not far away, in the shadow of a building.
A figure stood silently; it was none other than the Fourth Raikage, Yotsuki Seiji, who had captured the Nine-Tails yesterday.
His cold gaze pierced through the thin mist and landed inside the flower shop.
Looking at Kiyoshi, who had the same face as him but was indulging in a group of women, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
"Lack of ambition... trapped by trivial emotions, wasting this strength."
'Yotsuki Seiji' sneered inwardly.
He had initially harbored a slight interest in exploring his other self, but now it seemed he was nothing more than a mediocre man infatuated with women.
"Let me test your so-called genuine product and see how much it really is."
He formed hand seals with incredible speed.
"Lightning Release: Azure Lightning Clone!"
Dense blue arcs of electricity condensed and slowly took on his shape.
After allocating most of his chakra to his lightning clone, the original 'Yotsuki Seiji' tossed an ordinary mask to the lightning clone.
After donning the Lightning Release clone, he flashed into a streak of lightning and sped straight toward the flower shop.
Inside the flower shop, Kiyoshi was about to say something to Hinata, the eldest sister, when his brows suddenly furrowed and his dark eyes instantly turned a bright white.
With his X-ray vision activated, all buildings became transparent in front of Kiyoshi.
In his field of vision, he saw figures imbued with powerful "Lightning" Release chakra and carrying obvious hostility rapidly approaching!
"interesting."
In a flash, Kiyoshi saw the face beneath the Lightning Release clone mask.
Kiyoshi put one arm around Hinata's waist, who was standing close by, and grabbed Ino beside him with the other. He then pushed off with his feet and leaped backward in an instant.
Almost at the same time they left the spot.
boom!
A thick bolt of lightning struck and pierced through the roof and walls of the flower shop, sending wood chips flying and filling the air with dust.
The front half of the entire flower shop was almost completely destroyed by this attack, and the flowers displayed there were instantly turned into charcoal by the violent arc of lightning.
"what!"
Ino screamed in fright, her eyes filled with heartache as she looked at the destroyed flower shop.
After the initial shock, Hinata, the leader, immediately flew into a rage, veins bulging around her Byakugan as she stared at the masked figure surrounded by lightning in the smoke and dust.
He asked angrily:
"Bastard! Who are you?!"
……
At the same time, at the Hokage Building.
The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, who was reviewing documents, suddenly looked up. She was wearing a standard Hokage robe, but her demeanor was more serene than in the real world.
She sensed the sudden burst of powerful "Lightning" chakra.
"Mute!" she called out immediately.
"Yes, Lady Tsunade."
The office door was pushed open, and Jingyin strode in. She was dressed in a smart ninja outfit, with a serious expression and a decisive and efficient demeanor. She was completely different from the assistant in real life who was always holding a pink piggy bank and was somewhat flustered.
"An unidentified powerful figure has intruded near the commercial street. Immediately raise the alarm, dispatch secret agents to evacuate the public, and investigate the situation."
Tsunade quickly gave the order.
"clear."
Without the slightest hesitation, Jingyin turned around and immediately carried out the order.
The piercing alarm instantly resounded throughout the entire Hidden Leaf Village!
The smoke and dust slowly dissipated in front of the ruins of the flower shop.
The masked Lightning Release clone stood amidst the ruins, its cold gaze fixed on Kiyoshi through the holes in the mask.
Kiyoshi shielded the startled Ino and Hinata behind him, his bright white eyes calmly watching the attackers.
He was also able to observe more details of the lightning clone.
From his disdainful perspective, the mask was meaningless; the face beneath it was clearly visible to him, identical to his own.
His brows were even more hardened, his skin was rough from being bathed in "Lightning" chakra for a long time, and his eyes were pure and cold.
"So... it really is 'me' from this world."
Kiyoshi understood.
"You cowardly coward, prepare to die!"
Hinata, the leader, didn't care about anything else. With a roar, she assumed the starting stance of Gentle Fist and was about to charge forward.
Hinata, step back.
Kiyoshi began, then added:
"He's not someone you can handle."
"Qingji..."
Hinata, the leader, wanted to say something, but when she saw Kiyoshi's white eyes, she instinctively stopped in her tracks.
How could Kiyoshi receive such a disdainful look from the Hyuga clan!
Hinata, the leader, widened her eyes.
Moreover, he noticed that Kiyoshi had a flame fan hanging on his clothes.
Yesterday, Hinata thought that Kiyoshi admired the Uchiha clan, but now that Kiyoshi has activated the Byakugan, why is he wearing a robe with such a pattern?
The lightning clone didn't waste any words; his mission was to test the evil.
A moment later, he quickly formed hand seals, and the violent "Lightning" chakra condensed once again.
"Thunder Escape·Pseudo Darkness!"
A massive spear formed from his mouth by highly concentrated Lightning Release chakra, accompanied by a deafening roar, tore through the air and pierced straight at Kiyoshi!
Faced with this lightning attack powerful enough to pierce through city walls, Kiyoshi remained calm, his hands clasped together in front of his chest.
"Wood Release·Wood Spindle Wall!"
Rumble!
A row of curved wooden pillars instantly rose from the ground, closing like flower petals to form an incredibly sturdy wooden shield that firmly protected Kiyoshi and the two women behind him.
The lightning spear slammed into the wooden wall with a deafening roar, sparks flew and wood chips scattered, but it ultimately failed to break through the wood's defenses.
"Wood Release?!"
Whether it was the lightning clone that attacked, the real 'Yotsuki Seiji' who had been sensing the situation from afar, or Shizune and the Anbu ninja who had just arrived nearby and witnessed this scene, all showed expressions of shock.
The Wood Release technique of the First Hokage, which had long been lost, has reappeared in the world!
"We can't work out here, let's go somewhere else."
Kiyoshi said calmly that he didn't want to affect the innocent villagers and Ino's flower shop, even though half of her flower shop had already been destroyed.
He formed hand seals again, and his figure vanished from his spot, appearing on a rooftop not far away. After a few leaps, he sped off towards the edge of the village.
He deliberately slowed down to ensure that his lightning clone could keep up.
"Want to escape?"
The lightning clone snorted coldly, its body crackling with lightning, transforming into a streak of blue lightning that relentlessly pursued the enemy.
Two figures, one after the other, traversed Konoha at an astonishing speed, heading towards the edge of the village.
