Meanwhile, many bubbles were floating in the mist.

Whenever a Konoha ninja gets close, it will shatter with a snap, and the acid inside will flow out, directly melting the chainmail and corroding large areas of flesh.

A chorus of wails erupted.

Kiyoshi stood still, listening to the sounds around him.

This is the biggest drawback of "Sage Mode".

The process of refining natural energy into "Sage Chakra" requires "stillness".

"Has Yu Gao made a move?"

Kiyoshi's eyes held crimson three-tomoe jade pendants as he constantly scanned for the drifting traces of the mist.

Utakata has not yet betrayed Kirigakure and is still a member of Kirigakure.

His reason for betraying the country was laughable; it was merely a misunderstanding.

Utakata's master, Harusame, didn't want him to suffer discrimination from Jinchuriki anymore, but Utakata mistakenly believed that his master Harusame was coveting the power within him. In the end, he lost control and "transformed into a Tailed Beast," killing his master. From then on, he no longer believed in the bond between master and disciple and was labeled a rogue ninja by Kirigakure.

During his time on the run, Utakata met Hotaru, a blonde girl from the Tsuchigumo clan, and took her as his apprentice.

Of course, this is a story.

Since Kiyoshi is also interested in Hotaru, it's uncertain whether Hatake will be able to meet Hotaru again.

In the anime, Hotaru possesses the strongest forbidden technique of the Tsuchigumo clan, "Raging Hair Heaven," which allows her to absorb a large amount of natural energy from the hole in her back and passively refine it into "Sage Chakra."

If it accumulates long enough, it can erupt outwards from itself, destroying everything within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

Kiyoshi was eager to study the ability to accumulate "Sage Chakra" in this way.

"Now you're at a disadvantage."

Mei Terumi slowly approached Kiyoshi.

She has grown into a more charming woman than ever before, with every move she makes exuding allure.

“Uchiha Kiyoshi, let’s settle our scores first.”

"Oh?"

Kiyoshi looked at Terumi Mei's unparalleled confidence, as if she had him completely under her control, and couldn't help but smile.

"Hmph, you won't be laughing in a moment."

A smile appeared on Mei Terumi's face.

Lord Utakata is here too, so how could Uchiha Kiyoshi possibly jump up?

This time, we will definitely inflict heavy losses on Konoha and teach Kiyoshi a lesson he won't forget!

"I don't know if I'll be able to laugh later, but you definitely won't be able to laugh right now."

Kiyoshi gradually donned a flowing, turquoise cloak.

"!"

Terumi Mei's pupils shrank.

"How could that be? It's not time yet."

Terumi Mei was shocked.

She had specifically investigated Kiyoshi's abilities; entering "Sage Mode" required a great deal of time to refine and fuse chakra.

Moreover, it cannot maintain this form for an extended period of time.

Yesterday, Kiyoshi must have accumulated energy for a long time before bursting forth; just now, Kiyoshi clearly hadn't accumulated enough energy.

Mei Terumi clenched her fists and took a few steps back without making a sound.

She arrived at the exact time.

If Kiyoshi could use the same tactics as yesterday, she wasn't confident she could win.

"Hmph, bluff! Lava Release: Lava Monster Technique!"

Mei Terumi was disappointed in her own cowardice.

Thinking of what Kiyoshi had done to her, courage welled up inside her.

She spat out a large glob of sticky, highly corrosive orange acid.

sizzle...

The orange acid, still suspended in the air, emitted a chilling sound.

"The 'melting' escape is good."

Kiyoshi commented.

This move is so corrosive that it can even melt Susanoo.

If flesh and blood came into contact, it would probably turn into a pool of blood immediately.

Of course, Kiyoshi's current physical strength is not that great.

But there was no need for him to personally test the power of "Lava Release: Lava Monster Technique".

The next moment, Kiyoshi waved his hand, and flashing arcs of electricity shot out.

Lightning created using "Lightning" chakra is naturally slower than natural lightning.

Even so, its speed far exceeds the speed of sound!

Sonic speed isn't difficult to achieve in the ninja world; ninjas can do it in various ways.

But those ninjas who can do that are no longer weak.

As far as Mei Terumi is concerned now, she is still unable to react to speeds far exceeding the speed of sound.

Almost as soon as she caught a glimpse of the arc of lightning and her body instinctively tried to dodge, Mei Terumi felt herself hit a wall behind her.

"Do you remember what I told you? All unfavorable situations in this world are caused by the incompetence of the person involved."

Qingsi said calmly.

He refines "Sage Chakra" much faster than others. Yesterday, he only accumulated it a little longer because he wanted to test how much he could accumulate at most.

Judging him by yesterday's pace would only lead to the wrong conclusion.

Mei Terumi is clearly a prime example of such a failure.

"what!"

Startled, Mei Terumi instinctively twisted her body and threw a punch.

Kiyoshi easily caught Terumi Mei's fist with his palm.

His own strength is already among the greatest of all ninjas, and "Sage Mode" will greatly enhance the strength of his physical body.

Xianming could easily lift a summoned beast dozens of times larger than himself and fling it away.

When it was Kiyoshi's turn, the power of the blessing was even more terrifying.

He himself was unsure of exactly how far he could go.

Now, when using her palm to wrap around Mei Terumi's small fist, she was carefully holding back her strength.

I'm afraid I might accidentally shatter Mei Terumi's hand bones.

Even so, Mei Terumi frowned and her face turned pale.

What a strength!

Caught off guard, Mei Terumi didn't even have time to strengthen her body with chakra.

All I felt was the constant squeezing and excruciating pain in my hands.

"You're still too weak, Mei Terumi."

Kiyoshi shook his head in disappointment.

Mei Terumi now doesn't have the maturity of the future Fifth Mizukage; she still seems immature.

Since it's still green and immature, it needs some fertilizer.

And during this period, the scaffolding and pillars are erected so that the shape can be shaped and the desired result can be achieved.

That is, what is commonly known as "tuning"...

It is said that in some cases, the victims may even develop a distorted love.

Kiyoshi wasn't sure if this would be the case, but the improvement in his pupil power was undoubtedly real.

Beautiful things must endure wind and rain to reveal their true beauty.

"Because I killed your companion, you feel grief and resentment, and you hate me?"

"What do you think?"

Mei Terumi stared intently at Seiji, her gaze conveying a clear message.

She is someone who cherishes her companions and treasures every hard-won "bond".

These things are readily available elsewhere, but under the oppressive policies of the Blood Mist Force, they are extremely rare exceptions.

Everyone has closed their hearts, and everyone is on edge, afraid that the other will betray them.

Just as Mei Terumi and her two companions were full of confidence as they went to Konoha to participate in the Chunin Exams, hoping to start a new chapter in their lives from there.

But then Kiyoshi appeared.

Without any mercy, she killed her companion, Hozuki Reigetsu, as easily as killing a rabbit.

He once dreamed of traveling the world with a sword to prove himself, but his debut was his peak, and his teammates died as soon as he left the village.

"It seems I was right. In that case..."

Qing Si decided to add more ingredients.

Hate, is that it?

Then let's hate them to the bitter end.

After a flash of crimson light appeared in Kiyoshi's eyes, they returned to their golden vertical pupils, and a large amount of pupil power instantly rushed into Mei Terumi's body.

"You...what did you do to me?"

Terumi Mei exclaimed in alarm.

Kiyoshi must have cast some kind of illusion on her. Could it be that he wants to torture her to extract information about Kirigakure?

"Take a good look at the figures of others. This is all your fault. Because you are not strong enough, you can only live a pathetic and miserable life, helplessly watching the tragic state of others."

Kiyoshi said something that made Terumi Mei puzzled.

Crack!

The shuriken in Kiyoshi's ninja tool pouch slowly floated above him under the influence of magnetism.

Then it shot into the thick fog.

puff!

A drop of blood splattered from the mist before Mei Terumi's eyes.

The gushing, scalding blood stained the ground.

A ninja wielding a sword fell from a distance, his posture suggesting he was about to ambush Kiyoshi.

Mei Terumi's headband, stained with blood, was faintly visible; it was the mark of Kirigakure!

puff!

The air became a bit more humid.

Water gushed down.

This is the battlefield of Kirigakure. Facing a group of ninjas skilled in Water Release, it's perfectly normal for water to flow down from the ground from time to time.

Mei Terumi trembled all over, shaking uncontrollably.

"you……"

Mei Terumi was speechless.
