"That's right, it's indeed effective against ordinary Uchiha."

Kiyoshi made a casual comment.

"Secret Technique: Scale Powder Concealment Technique" can paralyze the opponent's movements and obstruct their vision; the scale powder even has the ability to track enemies.

Unfortunately, he ran into Kiyoshi, and none of these effects would work on him.

The moment the numbing scales penetrated the body through the skin, they were broken down by the electric current within Kiyoshi's body.

And it obstructs the view...

Even without activating "Perfect Sage Mode," Kiyoshi can sense the location of the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki using Yang Release chakra.

boom!

Ripples were blown across the lake.

The tailed beast chakra within the bodies of the seven Jinchūriki continued to surge forth, covering their entire bodies in a dark red "tailed beast cloak".

Although the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki was confident, he wasn't stupid.

He immediately adopted his strongest stance when facing Kiyoshi.

He cannot achieve "complete tailed beast transformation," and his current "half-tailed beast transformation" is the strongest he can use.

Whoosh!

The sound of something cutting through the air rang out rapidly.

Dark red seven-tailed wings sprouted from the back of the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, and he instantly flew from a distance to Kiyoshi.

"Insect bites!"

The seven dark red tails behind him attacked Kiyoshi together.

Kiyoshi raised his arm and steadily caught the blow.

Bang!

The resulting air currents created waves on the lake's surface.

"what!"

The Seven-Tails Jinchuriki felt his arms going numb.

Before he could marvel at Kiyoshi's immense strength, he quickly dodged to the right, avoiding Kiyoshi's whip kick.

In a short period of time, the two had already exchanged no less than dozens of blows.

The resulting shockwave caused a depression in the lake beneath our feet, and the fish inside fled frantically.

The Seven-Tails Jinchuriki acted decisively, quickly flying into the sky to avoid close combat with Kiyoshi.

At Kiyoshi's feet, water droplets floated up from the lake surface as he leaped up to catch up with the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki.

Just as the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki breathed a sigh of relief, he witnessed a scene that greatly shocked him.

In an instant, Kiyoshi caught up with him, who had flown away first, and the shadow of his fist grew larger and larger in front of him.

boom!

The Seven-Tails Jinchuriki was blasted away.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, relying on the terrifying regenerative power of the tailed beast to barely hold on and fight Kiyoshi.

The two fought their way up from underwater to high in the sky, until they were almost at the edge of the barrier.

The intense battle left the onlookers dazzled.

"This is youth."

Matt Kai was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes, and he wished he could go up and show off his skills too.

The expression on the face of Shibuki, the leader of Takigakure Village, grew increasingly grave.

He could tell that Kiyoshi wasn't using his full strength.

Kiyoshi did not use many of the legendary ninjutsu techniques.

It didn't feel like a battle; it felt more like observing the fighting style of the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki and the Seven-Tails' abilities.

"The Art of Water Release and Hidden Mist..."

Qingsi exhaled a thick white fog, which covered the entire lake surface and the sky above.

This is a ninjutsu he obtained from Mei Terumi.

This isn't considered a bloodline limit; Kiyoshi mastered this technique, which most of the Jonin of Kirigakure knew, without much effort.

"Trying to block my view?"

The Seven-Tails Jinchuriki became alert.

"of course not."

Kiyoshi smiled as he listened to the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki's mutterings.

It didn't obstruct the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki's view, but rather the view of everyone else.

Kiyoshi patted the small ninja sword hanging at his waist, and the black scales immediately expanded.

After he gripped the hilt of the knife, he swung it forward with a single stroke.

The black-scaled blade continued to lengthen, and with a single slash, it severed three of the seven tails of the Seven-Tailed Fox.

On the blade, besides the flickering arcs of electricity, there was also a touch of pink light.

That was the chakra of the priestess that Kiyoshi had incorporated.

Initially, the priestess's chakra resided in a red gemstone, but now it has been integrated into the body of the black scales.

The priestess' chakra has the ability to suppress demons and tailed beasts.

With the help of Kiyoshi's chakra, the three tails were cut off as easily as cutting butter.

"!"

The Seven-Tails Jinchuriki's pupils contracted as he tried to unleash a wide-range Wind Release ninjutsu to disperse the dense fog.

Kiyoshi preemptively sealed the tail, then pressed down on the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki's face with one hand, shoving him from the sky into the lake.

Bang!

The lake surface was instantly shattered, causing the earth to shake and revealing the lakebed.

The Seven-Tails Jinchuriki let out a miserable cry, as if he were embedded in a rock at the bottom of a lake, unable to move.

If a Hyuga ninja were to use their Byakugan to look at the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, they would see that his internal organs had been pierced by broken ribs, and he was bleeding profusely inside his body.

"Who's winning?"

The Takigakure ninjas were all thinking about this question.

The barrier was shaken just now; what if that attack had hit them?

The Takigakure ninja who maintained the barrier felt a chill run down their spines.

Their only fate is...death.

"untie."

A young voice rang out.

The thick white fog quickly dissipated, leaving only Kiyoshi standing on the lake.

There are also lakes that are gradually recovering from the gaps and depressions in the water surface.

"Is this the Hokage of Konoha?"

The Takigakure ninjas were shocked, amazed by Kiyoshi's strength.

"Go and save people!"

Shemu shouted.

A team of medical ninjas from Takigakure quickly pulled the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki from the bottom of the lake and brought him ashore for treatment.

"The Seven-Tails Jinchuriki lives up to his name."

Kiyoshi's hand brushed across his robes, and his Fire Release chakra dried the damp fabric.

"You have learned a new entry: [Entry: Fierce Battle with the Seven-Tailed Fox (Blue)]".

[Entry: Fierce Battle with the Seven-Tails (Blue)]

[Requirement: Fight the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki and do not be instantly killed by it.]

Progress: (Completed)

[Effect: Increases the vitality of physical cells; increases the speed of flight-type techniques by 40%.]

【Note: You can advance later. 】

"It's still blue."

Kiyoshi thought to himself, and then closed the entry panel.

In his previous battles with the Tailed Beasts, even when he defeated them, he only received blue-level attributes.

Given the existence of tailed beasts, it's impossible that they only have blue attributes.

Kiyoshi had been wondering if it was also divided into stages.

Just like how he can obtain different levels of entries by defeating ninjas at different stages.

To obtain higher-level entries, we should wait until the Tailed Beasts and Jinchuriki become more familiar with each other and unleash their full power.

"That's all."

Kiyoshi stopped thinking about these things.

Since it's all added as a percentage anyway, it's like the ability to stack boxes.

When the base value is low, it's not a big deal.

Once the snowball effect kicks in later on, even a 1% boost will be terrifying.

For example, even one percent of Kaguya Otsutsuki's chakra would far exceed that of a Jonin.

"Now that we have the Seven-Tails' chakra, the Five-Tails shouldn't be too difficult to obtain."

Kiyoshi thought to himself as he touched the object.

He once helped Iwagakure fight the rogue ninja Four-Tails Jinchuriki, and now that he has become Hokage, the two villages are still in a honeymoon period.

If he uses the excuse of sparring to fight Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, there shouldn't be any major setbacks.

"Lord Hokage?"

Having witnessed Kiyoshi's strength firsthand, Shibuki couldn't help but lower his stance once again.

After defeating the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, he noticed that Kiyoshi seemed to be standing there, lost in thought.

"I was thinking that my biggest wish this time was actually to see the 'Hero's Water.' Now that the sparring has been completed, it's a real pity that I didn't get to see it."

Kiyoshi slowly walked from the lake to the shore.

The barrier was removed the instant the battle ended.

"This... is no problem."

Shibuki looked pained.

He comforted himself, thinking that giving Kiyoshi some "Hero's Water" was nothing.

If Takigakure could win over Konoha as an ally, the benefits might be even greater.

Whether Konoha has "Hero's Water" to strengthen its power or not doesn't really make much difference to Takigakure.

Because Konoha's current strength is something that Takigakure cannot withstand.

"Please come with me, Hokage."

After thinking for a while, Shibuki spoke.

He forbade the other Takigakure ninja from following him.

Seeing this, Kiyoshi also asked Kurenai and the others to wait for him outside.
