"I'm going out for a bit."
A smile appeared on Samui's delicate, indifferent face as she parted her cherry lips and said, "I'll be back soon."
"Are you going to see Uchiha Kiyoshi?"
Atsui vaguely guessed something.
Their main mission here was to win over Kiyoshi. His sister was most likely going to Kiyoshi's place.
After all, Kiyoshi hadn't come here in a while, so she needed to gauge his inner thoughts.
"Yes, it's a mission."
"A mission, huh…"
Atsui couldn't refute it.
Honestly, he didn't like this.
It felt like his sister was selling herself for glory, humbling herself to please Kiyoshi for the sake of the village's mission.
But there was nothing he could do. He himself was sent here to further root himself as a spy in Konoha.
That's why he had chosen to enroll in Ninja school. Just recently, Samui had finished registering him.
"Have a good trip." Atsui said.
"Okay."
Hearing her younger brother's words of blessing, Samui felt a warm current flow in her heart.
But the moment she thought about going to Kiyoshi's place, that warm current gradually turned bitter.
Kiyoshi is definitely the kind of person who is insatiably greedy.
Who knows what he will want this time?
Samui subconsciously touched her wrist, where there was a summoning tag.
Touching the mark would summon the items stored inside.
This was extremely similar to a Sealing Scroll, except that a Sealing Scroll could store more and divide it into areas.
A Summoning Tag can only store very little items.
Samui had placed several ninjutsu scrolls inside, in order to satisfy Kiyoshi's appetite.
"I'm leaving now."
Samui pushed open the glass door and went outside, where there was a bustling crowd.
Atsui glanced at his sister's back and turned around to continue working at the sushi restaurant, wiping tables.
…
Kiyoshi's house
"A distinguished guest has arrived. Aren't you afraid of exposing your identity?" Kiyoshi said indifferently.
Three minutes ago, Samui had found him.
Kiyoshi was quite surprised by Kumogakure's boldness, withdrawing from his training state.
He had pushed the ninjutsu Lightning Release: Iron Skin to its limit.
The electric current, which was originally thinner than a hair, had now grown to the size of a wooden skewer.
All of these electric currents were bound under Kiyoshi's skin.
As long as Kiyoshi turns his chakra into Lightning chakra, they will begin to circulate.
Thanks to this, Kiyoshi's development speed was very fast.
After a few tests, he had found that his ability to withstand blunt force had become even stronger.
At the same time, he understood that he must have become more valuable to Kumogakure, leading them to come at such a risk.
"There might be many surveillance devices in the Uchiha clan."
Kiyoshi poured a cup of tea for Samui and said.
However, since Kumogakure had dared to send someone, they must have taken measures.
Samui said, "Our background in Konoha is very clean and can withstand investigation. You've come to the sushi restaurant many times, and you're our regular customer."
"This can be disguised as an activity of the store, or it can be said that we have a private friendship."
Samui took the tea, and sipped it, making her lips a little more pink and moist.
Kumogakure was able to infiltrate Konoha and stay hidden for so long, so naturally they had some skills.
On the table, there was a delicate small gift box.
Inside was a variety of different types of sushi she had brought.
"That's good."
Kiyoshi nodded.
As long as he isn't implicated, he doesn't really care.
He suddenly looked at Samui, sizing her up.
Her thin top could not hide the curves of her body, but her expression was indifferent, giving people a sense of contrast.
So he pretended to be puzzled and said, "So why did Samui-san come to me?"
"I wanted to ask you why…"
Samui raised her eyes to look at Kiyoshi, originally wanting to ask why Kiyoshi hadn't come all this time.
But suddenly, she sensed the existence of electric current.
She was proficient in Lightning Release, but usually preferred to use short knives.
According to her senses, the extremely weak electric current was emanating from Kiyoshi's body.
Samui immediately closed her eyes and focused on sensing.
She senses that the electric current was spreading from the largest meridian system in Kiyoshi's heart.
Kiyoshi's whole body was filled with countless blue and white tiny electric currents.
There was no place from head to toe that wasn't covered with it.
Including the lower…
Samui opened her eyes and exclaimed, "You actually cultivated this technique to such an extent?"
The decision to give Kiyoshi Lightning Release: Iron Skin was made after a lot of thought on Kumogakure's part.
Because this technique requires a very high degree of fine chakra control, it is necessary to always confine the electric current within a safe range.
Otherwise, even a little carelessness will injure the caster's body.
But Kiyoshi not only spread the range of Lightning Release: Iron Skin to every corner, but also increased the intensity of the electric current.
At this moment, Samui had many guesses.
Was Kiyoshi taught this by the Uchiha clan?
This was first ruled out by Samui.
If that was indeed the case, why would Kiyoshi go to them for ninjutsu scrolls?
They had also investigated Kiyoshi's Jōnins instructor, and knew that he didn't know Lightning Release at all.
Then there was only one result. Kiyoshi had done this all by himself.
"I suddenly realized that my talent seems to be pretty good."
Kiyoshi lightly smiled and continued, "What you and I want is very clear in everyone's mind. I need to consider this matter further."
Kiyoshi was naturally referring to the matter of returning to Kumogakure.
As long as he doesn't explicitly refuse, their hopes will stay up until they reach their tolerance limit.
Kiyoshi estimated that this time would be very long, enough to get a lot of benefits.
The third great ninja war will be so chaotic that even the Third Raikage of Kumogakure will die in the hands of Iwagakure.
In order to cover for the retreating ninjas, he alone fought against as many as 10,000 Iwa ninjas.
In the end, he was outnumbered, and besieged to death.
At that time, there will be great chaos within Kumogakure, what time and energy will they have to think about Kiyoshi?
"Don't you understand? The Uchiha clan in Konoha are suppressed."
After being surprised by Kiyoshi's talent, Samui suppressed the emotions in her heart and calmly persuaded.
The contradiction between the Uchiha and Konoha.
The dissatisfaction of the villagers with the Uchiha's law enforcement.
The subtle attitudes of the ninja clans.
Even an outsider like her could clearly see it.
If one day the opportunity is right, a big conflict will inevitably happen.
Samui had a feeling that this opportunity would arise within twenty years.
Within twenty years, the Uchiha clan will definitely have a conflict with Konoha.
But this time is too long.
If she spends twenty years here, how old will she be when she goes back?
Even the village will feel strange to her by the time she goes back.
Kiyoshi said, "That's what you say, but Samui-san, what about Kumogakure? Even you, who are persuading me, have said that I am very likely not to go back, and think that I will stand on the Uchiha's side."
"No, that day was…"
Seeing Kiyoshi bring up the old matter again, the calmness in Samui's heart shattered a little.
She eagerly wanted to explain that she had just said it casually and there was no need to take it seriously.
