#46 - Eroding Kushina step by step (Seeking follow-up reading, playing PK today)

"Your eyesight is so good?"

Kushina Uzumaki muttered.

She could barely see the road.

"If you're scared, just follow me."

Kiyoshi told Kushina to follow behind him.

Konoha's technology is quite advanced, with refrigerators, display screens, and various other modern equipment.

However, it's normal for streetlights to break; Kiyoshi hasn't seen them renovated here, and many are old buildings.

"Okay."

Kushina agreed to Kiyoshi's suggestion, and she followed behind him.

Well, the scenery is different from usual.

The broken streetlights are a rare experience for Kushina.

She looked towards a dark direction, her eyes slightly dimming.

Kiyoshi happened to turn back and caught the change in Kushina's eyes with the corner of his eye.

In the world of Naruto, every ninja village is extremely hostile to 'Jinchuriki'.

And 'Jinchuriki' are the so-called Jinchuriki, using the sacrifice of their own existence to seal the tailed beasts and coexist with them.

Unfortunately, such heroic dedication is not appreciated by many.

In the vast Konoha Village, Kushina can only move within a circular sealing barrier centered on the Uzumaki clan's shrine.

This means that she can't even walk all over Konoha, she can only see the same scenery every day, drowned in the 'vortex' of the current era, unable to break free, again and again...

And there are two Anbu constantly monitoring her.

"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 in front, seemingly hesitating whether to tell him her name.

Suddenly, she felt that this name was a bit familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere.

Kushina thought carefully, and finally had some clue.

"I heard about you from Minato, are you from the Land of Lightning?"

Kushina's rosy little mouth opened slightly.

"Yes, I only came to Konoha a few months ago, and I've become familiar with it, but unfortunately there are still many places I'm unfamiliar with."

Kiyoshi's tone was lonely.

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

It's just that the higher the other party's status is than Kiyoshi, the weaker the effect.

"Me too, my name is Kushina Uzumaki."

Kushina in the back excitedly patted her chest, causing the arc of her heart to tremble slightly.

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

Kushina met someone with almost the same experience as herself for the first time.

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

Other surviving members of the clan are scattered all over the ninja world, hiding their names and no longer using Uzumaki as their surname.

Under excitement, Kushina began to ask Kiyoshi about his feelings about coming to Konoha.

Kiyoshi specially stopped and chatted with Kushina.

In his black eyes, Kushina's bright red hair and delicate face were reflected in them.

His pupil power fluctuated.

I have to say, as Naruto's mother, Kushina is quite charming.

Kiyoshi suppressed this fluctuation, the Anbu are still watching now.

It's enough to get in touch with Kushina today, and the subsequent development can be done slowly, step by step.

In this way, Kiyoshi's pupil power will increase, and Kushina will probably not have the tragic fate of the original work.

Everyone has a bright future.

After a while, the two gradually walked out of the alley, and the light of the streetlights in the distance became brighter, projecting onto the two of them.

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

…………

Konoha Street.

Hinata Natsu waited in line for a long time to buy sweets, and then quickly rushed to the direction of the Hinata clan.

"Coming back so late."

Hinata Ginka, who had gone out for a walk, met Hinata Natsu who was coming back.

"Madam Ginka, there was a delay on the road."

Hinata Natsu lowered her head and told her about the encounter on the road.

"Uchiha?"

A trace of thought flashed in Hinata Ginka's eyes, as if a new Uchiha had come to the village, and the clan leader had also instructed all Hinata clan members not to let the Byakugan leak out, and checked the 'Caged Bird Curse Seal' on the heads of the branch families.

"The Uchiha are a naturally evil clan, have less contact with him."

Hinata Ginka said.

"...Yes."

Because it was Hinata Ginka's order, Hinata Natsu couldn't refute it.

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

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

"These people really like to look at people with prejudice."

Kushina and Kiyoshi came out of the alley and heard someone say "naturally evil Uchiha."

She used to be bullied because of her red hair, and she felt quite sympathetic to this.

"It's okay."

Kiyoshi shook his head.

Naturally evil Uchiha.

His unique way of opening his eyes destined him not to become a "kind" Uchiha.

Whether it is Kushina or that Hinata Natsu or that Main Family, they will all become his resources to become stronger.

"Then, see you next time."

Kiyoshi waved goodbye.

Kushina responded as well.

After Kiyoshi left, a blond man approached Kushina.

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

The man had a gentle face and smiled apologetically.

"Don't do it again, Minato."

Kushina forgave Minato Namikaze's lateness this time.

As she was about to leave, she suddenly thought of Uchiha Kiyoshi, who had a similar encounter to her, and didn't seem to show any strangeness to her red hair?

"What's wrong?"

Minato Namikaze gasped and calmed down from running over.

I thought Kushina said she was fine, but she was sulking in her heart.

"Nothing."

Kushina shook her head.

Minato Namikaze scratched his head, not knowing what to do.

…………

A month passed, and Kiyoshi finally memorized the basic theoretical knowledge in his mind.

The school will issue books and reissue the previous books.

In fact, these are not too many, because those who attend ninja school are just children.

The six-year system was set to consider the memory and concentration of children.

He has the soul of an adult and learns quickly.

Later, the Uchiha clan also gave Kiyoshi some information, which is the preliminary education that ordinary Uchiha ninjas would receive.

So Kiyoshi mastered all of these through self-study alone.

"Eh, Kiyoshi, are you graduating early?"

Kurenai Yuhi, who had just adapted to tutoring at Kiyoshi's place, felt like the sky was falling when she heard the news.

Even though her father, Yuhi Shinko, would also teach her illusion techniques and knew more than Kiyoshi.

But communication with peers is obviously easier than facing a strict father.

"Yeah, I submitted the application yesterday."

Kiyoshi said.

"Then...then I want to graduate early too."

Kurenai Yuhi thought for a while and said.

Many of the things taught in ninja school are actually taught to her by her father at home.

Only those real civilians need to study step by step. Before that, many students from ninja families with resources can graduate early.

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

"Are you sure?"

Kiyoshi looked at Kurenai Yuhi.

Kurenai Yuhi's face was a little baby fat, looking soft, and at the moment she was tightening her little face, looking very serious.

"Yeah."

Kurenai Yuhi nodded.
