Chakra exists within every person, but it reacts differently to different nature transformations.
It's like human appearance, varied and strange.
Kiyoshi also benefited greatly from his discussions with Rin Nohara, as it allowed him to explore the possibilities of new Ninjutsu.
Many Ninjutsu were still under development.
The current ninja world was facing a great change unseen in a thousand years.
All kinds of Ninjutsu were springing up like mushrooms.
During the thousands of years of the Warring States Period, major forces fought continuously.
The average lifespan of a ninja was only thirty years. When they woke up, the first question they faced was whether they would survive the day. All training was family-based, and civilian ninjas could only pick up scattered knowledge and teach themselves.
Aside from bloodline and secret techniques, other forms of Ninjutsu were quite rare.
The transition from ninjas wearing heavy armor to the current lightweight chainmail demonstrates that the era of cold-weapon duels supplemented by Ninjutsu has passed, with a greater focus now on agility.
This is because more powerful Ninjutsu has been developed and is used as the primary means of attack. The correct strategy is evasion, trying to endure damage is the worst possible option.
Tobirama Senju is a representative figure in this. He created many Forbidden Jutsu, such as the Flying Thunder God Technique, the Shadow Clone Jutsu, and the Impure World Reincarnation Technique. Even the Rasengan, commonly used by Naruto, was a recent invention.
Kiyoshi estimated that the Rasengan had not even been created yet.
Kushina would eventually be unable to bear the restrictions of the sealing barrier any longer and would venture outside despite the prohibition.
The Nine-Tails would seize this opportunity to violently rebel within Kushina's body.
On the very day of the rebellion, the Rasengan would just be taking shape.
"Thank you, Kiyoshi."
Rin Nohara thanked him. She had learned a lot today, and Kakashi should be interested.
Kiyoshi truly was a very kind person to spend so much time helping her.
She remembered when Kiyoshi first transferred in, her explanations lasted only a short time.
Kiyoshi understood many things after hearing them just once, and he learned them quickly.
However, this aspect of Lightning Release nature transformation could be discussed endlessly.
After all, they were discussing future development rather than systematically studying a specific Ninjutsu.
"Don't mention it." Kiyoshi shook his head.
He would have many uses for Rin Nohara in the future, both in terms of Medical Ninjutsu and in restraining Obito.
Rin Nohara was a good card to play.
After Rin left, Kiyoshi also left his home.
He was going to buy groceries for the upcoming week.
Kiyoshi wasn't picky about food, he just needed to ensure sufficient nutrition.
The Uchiha compound was like a city within a city, housing many ordinary Uchiha clan members who weren't ninjas.
They ran small businesses here, earning a little money.
Most customers were Uchiha, and few outsiders ever came.
"Kiyoshi, Elder Setsuna is looking for you."
After paying an Uchiha clan member who was selling vegetables, someone called out to Kiyoshi.
Turning around, he saw a black-haired ninja.
He had a black mole right in the center of his forehead, wore a deep blue long shirt, and had the Uchiha flame fan crest embroidered on his back.
"You are...?"
Kiyoshi recognized him as Tekka Uchiha by his distinctive black mole.
He was one of the three who came to question Itachi.
Kiyoshi had not had any contact with Tekka until now.
"I am Tekka Uchiha. Follow me."
Tekka Uchiha briefly introduced himself and told Kiyoshi to follow him.
Kiyoshi, carrying his bag of vegetables, followed.
A moment later, they arrived at a secluded residence.
"Are you adapting well to life in the Uchiha clan?"
The person who asked the question was a man with gray hair and noticeable wrinkles on his face.
He wore a half-face mask on his left side, seemingly to conceal something.
"Elder Setsuna, I am very adapted to life here. Since coming here, I've felt that the Uchiha clan is my first home." Kiyoshi replied.
He quickly reviewed the information he had on Setsuna Uchiha.
During the time when Tobirama Senju was in charge, Setsuna Uchiha was extremely dissatisfied with his policies toward the Uchiha clan. He believed he inherited Madara's will and yearned to reclaim sovereignty from the Senju clan.
He even organized a faction of equally radical and extremist Uchiha ninjas to instigate trouble.
In the end, they were suppressed by the Anbu ninjas sent by Tobirama Senju.
A few years after Tobirama Senju's death, when the Third Hokage took office, he became concerned about the growing subtle rift between the Uchiha and the village. He released Setsuna Uchiha and the other trouble-making clan members.
Simply put, Setsuna Uchiha was the leader of the Hawk Faction!
He headed the largest faction within the Uchiha clan, second only to Fugaku.
"What differences do you notice between the Land of Lightning and here?"
Setsuna Uchiha spoke, his voice gravelly.
He looked at the well-built Kiyoshi, who was half a head taller than Tekka standing next to him.
Unlike most clan members, Setsuna Uchiha had conducted extensive research into the history of the Uchiha clan.
The Uchiha had a confirmed presence in the Land of Lightning, having carried out a long-term mission there.
That mission was to expel the Chinoike Clan, who possessed the Ketsuryūgan, driving them out to the current territory of the Land of Steam and forbidding them from leaving.
Therefore, it wasn't unimaginable for Kiyoshi to have been born in the Land of Lightning.
Upon hearing the question, Kiyoshi opened the bag of vegetables in his hand and picked out the best-looking head of napa cabbage.
"I lived in a small place called Water Cloud Gorge. The environment there was harsh, and vegetables and fruits were scarce. Since coming to the Hidden Leaf Village, my greatest feeling is that the people here are exceptionally kind, especially the Uchiha."
"Even an ordinary head of cabbage here tastes much better than anything in the Land of Lightning. Plus, the clan member who sold me the vegetables took good care of me and gave me a discount. Now, when I think back, every day in the Land of Lightning was torment." Kiyoshi said with an expression of "excitement."
Perhaps because he was born and lived in the Land of Lightning for several years, some people would ask for his opinion during breaks at the Ninja Academy.
Even some Chunin instructors did the same.
Whenever they heard Kiyoshi state that the Hidden Leaf Village was stronger, they would be very satisfied.
Simply put, it was about cultural recognition.
Land of Lightning no good, Land of Fire, good!
'Our Hidden Leaf Village is truly amazing!'
"Heh, you have a good sense of awareness." Tekka Uchiha patted Kiyoshi's shoulder.
How could a poor, remote place like the Land of Lightning possibly compare to the Land of Fire? Or the Hidden Leaf Village?
And the Uchiha are the largest clan in the Hidden Leaf Village!
"The Chunin Exams will be held in a few months. Are you interested in participating?" Setsuna Uchiha nodded, satisfied with Kiyoshi's performance.
"I do have that thought. I want to contribute to the Uchiha as soon as possible."
Kiyoshi's reply pleased Setsuna Uchiha. He looked at Kiyoshi and entertained the idea of bringing Kiyoshi into his faction.
'How can Fugaku, that Dove, govern the Uchiha well when he's siding with the vermin of the Hidden Leaf Village?'
"I have high hopes for you, young one."
Setsuna Uchiha extended his aged hand from his sleeve and handed Kiyoshi a scroll.
