Orochimaru has been designated an S-rank rogue ninja and will be wanted wherever he goes.
Kiyoshi dispersed the chakra of "Susanoo" and slowly fell from the sky while holding Tsunade.
With each head severed, blood splattered profusely.
Tsunade kept her eyes closed almost the entire time, not daring to open them.
"Tsunade-sensei, I have a gift for you."
Kiyoshi gathered Water Release chakra in his palm, and the translucent water flowed slowly across it, shaping it into a beautiful rose.
Its semi-transparent appearance makes it look incredibly pure.
Upon hearing this, Tsunade slightly opened her eyes and saw the water rose in Kiyoshi's palm.
"This flower is for you."
Qingsi smiled slightly.
Then, the water from her palm caused the rose petals to fall to the ground, one by one.
After landing on the ground, the volume of the water droplets changed rapidly, instantly becoming a wave that roared and surged into the distance.
A moment later, the forest seemed to have been washed clean by the water, and all the bloodstains disappeared without a trace, leaving only the wet ground.
The petals burst open again, transforming into waves that also resembled roses.
"You can open your eyes now."
Tsunade scanned the area and found no trace of blood.
The dizziness was greatly relieved immediately.
She turned to look at Qing Si, feeling a strange flutter in her heart, which quickened its pace.
No one has ever done anything so romantic for her before.
Jiraiya goes without saying, but back then, Kato Dan was quietly supporting her reform of the medical system, which led to their becoming acquainted.
Unfortunately, Kato Dan died not long after.
He died without warning; his internal organs were completely blown away.
Jiraiya watched in stunned silence, never expecting Kiyoshi to have such a trick up his sleeve.
"Little Jiraiya, you should learn more from Kiyoshi."
He spoke deeply.
The ninjutsu he just used demonstrated Kiyoshi's extraordinary chakra control.
The difficulty of the ninjutsu is estimated to be no less than A-rank, and most likely S-rank.
Normally, ninjutsu focuses on practicality; who would want to add decorations to ninjutsu for no reason?
"Hokage-sama."
Yamato and Kakashi came over.
Of the Anbu ninjas present, only Kakashi and Yamato survived; the rest were killed by Orochimaru.
"I……"
"This is not your fault, Kakashi."
Kiyoshi put Tsunade down and patted Kakashi on the shoulder.
In the original story, Kakashi was also frightened by Orochimaru's killing intent.
Despite Orochimaru's mediocre performance in the original work, where he only demonstrated a strong ability to survive, Orochimaru's character is not as remarkable.
However, the sheer number of experimental subjects in the lab shows that Orochimaru is actually very strong. Don't assume that all the test subjects were willingly obedient to Orochimaru.
"Others will be coming to clean up later, let's go back first."
The Qing official issued an order.
……
The Orochimaru defection finally came to an end.
This incident also brought a lot of shock to Konoha. After all, Orochimaru was a prominent figure who had even reached the position of Hokage candidate.
As a result, Orochimaru defected.
This shock made many ninja clans behave themselves.
Danzo Shimura also became more obedient, afraid that others would notice him.
It wouldn't be good if someone accused him of having an affair with Orochimaru.
Mitarashi Anko, originally Orochimaru's disciple, was required to undergo investigation.
Under Kiyoshi's orders, Mitarashi Anko was spared the ordeal of being tortured for information.
Even so, Mitarashi Anko still looked melancholy.
She obeyed Kiyoshi in order to gain power.
In the end, they still couldn't bring Orochimaru back.
Fortunately, Orochimaru didn't die in the end, so she still had a chance.
Others who were quite familiar with Orochimaru also appeared very sad.
Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Hiruzen Sarutobi were undoubtedly Orochimaru's closest confidants before his defection.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was their master, while Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru were their fellow disciples, as well as comrades-in-arms who had faced life and death together.
"A mission request from the Land of Snow."
Kiyoshi glanced at it and found that the request was roughly the same as in the original work.
The Land of Snow is a very remote country in the ninja world.
The area is covered in snow year-round, and the cold is so intense that it can affect a ninja's ninjutsu.
Water Release ninjutsu would turn into Ice Release ninjutsu there; Kakashi even used "Ice Release: One-Horned White Whale" there.
Ice Release techniques are very rare, but the Land of Snow can easily use ninjutsu similar to Ice Release.
Although it is called "Ice" Release, it is actually just a ninjutsu that simply utilizes the environment, unlike Haku's bloodline limit.
"Kushina, you accepted this mission request?"
In the Hokage's office, Kiyoshi sat in the Hokage's chair, looking at Kushina.
Kushina stood behind the table and nodded.
She had never seen what a world covered in ice and snow looked like before.
So she wanted to go and see.
"Is that so?"
Qingsi touched his chin.
The Land of Snow, that's quite a scenic place.
If Kushina wants to go, it's not impossible to take her along.
"However, this mission is in three months."
Qingsi said.
The snow in the Land of Snow was so heavy that it blocked the roads, so the daimyo there told Konoha to wait until the season was warmer before coming.
The task assigned is to clear out the evil spirit beasts wreaking havoc on the snow mountain.
These summoned beasts can be temporarily held off by the ninjas of the local Snow Village.
"I want to take it ahead of schedule."
Kushina twirled a strand of bright red hair between her fingertips, looking somewhat embarrassed. The sunlight streaming through the window fell on her delicate face, making it appear exceptionally fair.
"Are you worried about someone else snatching it up, so you're making a reservation in advance? Sure."
Qingsi nodded.
Kushina is a Jinchuriki of a Tailed Beast, and anyone who wants to go on a mission needs her approval.
If Kiyoshi hadn't become Hokage and broadened Kushina's range of activities, Kushina might have gone back to her old life.
The attitude towards Jinchuriki, the tailed beasts, is completely different during wartime and peacetime.
"I will personally accompany you to the Land of Snow."
Qingsi said calmly.
"it is good."
Kushina nodded slightly.
She guessed that Kiyoshi was afraid that Kurama would go out of control.
After all, the climate of the Land of Snow is unique, and if she is not in good condition, the Nine-Tails might take advantage of the chaos to come out.
"By the way, Kiyoshi, have you learned the 'Inner Four Symbols Seal' that I taught you?"
Kushina said.
The "Four Symbols Seal" series consists of sealing techniques from the Uzumaki clan. Danzo was able to obtain these S-rank sealing techniques by acquiring them from the Uzumaki clan's inventory.
Because the Uzumaki clan has essentially been confiscated, all their assets are now in Konoha.
Konoha's outstanding sealing technique system is thanks to this.
"Yes."
Kiyoshi said.
He learned this sealing technique only to see if he could further reduce its difficulty.
Using this ninjutsu on a living person is suicide, but it can be used by ninjas who have undergone "Impure World Reincarnation".
Kiyoshi also considered having the "Reanimation Jutsu" ninja use the "Dead Demon Seal," but unfortunately, the "Dead Demon Seal" seals the soul, so even if the "Reanimation Jutsu" ninja used it, he would probably be immediately swallowed by the Shinigami.
It would be perfect to use the "Reverse Four Symbols Seal" on these "Reanimated" ninjas who can be resurrected repeatedly.
Even the Otsutsuki clan would feel threatened by such an army.
Of course, one must be strong oneself to succeed.
This move should only be used as a last resort; one must be strong enough to use it effectively.
Otherwise, the opponent could use a decapitation strike tactic and defeat us directly.
"Go down, Kushina. I'll let you know when the time comes."
Kiyoshi and Kushina exchanged pleasantries for a while before he spoke.
The Land of Snow possesses an "Environmental Transformation Machine," which Kiyoshi must obtain.
This is related to the cooperation with the Land of Wind later on.
And the question about Naruto's birth.
Kiyoshi wanted to see if he could let Naruto conceive there naturally.
There's no need for Kushina to drag this out any longer.
It's normal for anything to happen during a trip.
Sarada is the product of Sakura and Sasuke's travels.
"it is good."
After receiving Kiyoshi's affirmative reply, Kushina left with a smile.
Kiyoshi put down the scroll and looked up at the Hokage Rock behind him.
"Feng Hua Xiao Xue is a few years older than in the original novel."
Kiyoshi's mind conjured up images of Kazeka and Koyuki.
She first appeared in "Naruto the Movie: The Great Movie! Snow Princess Ninja Scrolls", the first theatrical film.
She initially appears as a female celebrity, but it is later revealed that she is a princess of a fallen kingdom and the daughter of the daimyo of the Snow Kingdom.
