Her hand gently rested on Kiyoshi's shoulder, as if offering comfort to a junior.
She had thought Kiyoshi would be as crude as the people of the Land of Lightning, which is why she had been dragging her feet on this mission.
But upon meeting him today, she felt that he was rather simple and honest.
Up close, Kiyoshi could smell a fragrance.
Hazuki said a few words of comfort and quickly left.
Kiyoshi watched her departing figure, his eyes flickering.
Hazuki and Izumi, mother and daughter, looked alike. Both had beauty marks under their eyes.
However, Hazuki looked more like a mature version of Izumi.
Opening the scroll in his hand, Kiyoshi saw that it was a genjutsu type lightning release ninjutsu, called Lightning Release: Flash Pillar.
For Kiyoshi, who already had the Sharingan, it was a bit redundant.
Genjutsu, in essence, are techniques that allow chakra to invade the opponent's body, interfering with their five senses and causing them to fall into a hallucination.
They can be roughly divided into three categories: visual, auditory, and tactile.
For example, visual genjutsu includes Tsukuyomi.
Auditory genjutsu includes Hell Viewing Technique.
And tactile genjutsu includes Izanami.
The medium for casting genjutsu only needs to adhere to these three categories.
Lightning release can also be used as a medium for casting genjutsu.
Lightning Release: Flash Pillar is one such example.
It originates from Kumogakure's versatile elite jonin, C.
It allows the user to turn their entire body into electric light, leading the opponent to mistakenly believe it is a ninjutsu that obstructs their vision, thus falling into the genjutsu.
"Wait a minute, perhaps integrating lightning release into genjutsu wouldn't be bad."
Kiyoshi suddenly thought.
The future famous Shisui's Phantom Body Flicker Technique was the integration of genjutsu into the Body Flicker Technique.
Kiyoshi could also try this.
The Uchiha name is too well-known.
The ninja world has a consensus on dealing with the Uchiha clan.
Do not make eye contact with the Sharingan.
"It's time to find Samui."
Kiyoshi put the scroll into his bag and continued walking outside.
He currently lacks offensive means.
Currently, he knows Transformation Technique, Lightning Release: Lightning Finger and Lightning Release: Iron Skin.
All of them can only be used as support.
The essence of Lightning Release: Iron Skin is to train the body, allowing it to develop quickly.
And the other Lightning Release: Lightning Finger is only just barely usable.
Even if he improves his proficiency with it, its power won't increase by much.
This ninjutsu was probably originally used for medical purposes, capable of releasing weak electrical currents for paralysis.
"...Samodo, why did Atsui come too? Think about how old he is."
In the secret room of the sushi restaurant, Samui frowned as she looked at her younger brother, who was about the same age as Kiyoshi.
Spying is a very dangerous mission. One mistake and both of them could die here.
"The Third Raikage values Kiyoshi very much, so we can't mess this up. The village spent a lot of effort resolving Atsui's identity issue. Next, he will enroll in ninja school to lie low."
Samodo said in a rough voice.
He looked at the siblings in front of him. Infiltration requires a lot of energy. Yet the village still sent another person.
Perhaps the value of this Kiyoshi has increased again.
Samodo glanced at the people in the secret room.
In addition to Samui and Atsui, there were also several people dressed as waiters.
These were all spies sent by Kumogakure.
There were also several companions outside responsible for guarding, who had not entered.
On the surface, they maintained the daily operation of this store, but behind the scenes, they collected information about Konoha.
And he was the superior responsible for managing this group of spies.
"Sister, this is all for the village. I volunteered to come."
Atsui opened his mouth, constantly talking about dedicating himself to Kumogakure.
He flicked his blonde hair, which was the same as Samui's.
He looked like a child, but his left shoulder already had a tattoo with the red character "Heat".
"Besides, I also want to do something for you." Atsui said.
Samui was a very calm woman. Therefore, she possessed good qualities for being a spy. But lurking was really too dangerous.
It was said that Kiyoshi was also a distant nephew of the Second Raikage.
So, bringing him back would be a great achievement.
That way, he and his sister won't have to perform such dangerous missions in the future.
Samui didn't speak, and just sighed softly. She was both touched and saddened.
Her younger brother was so young, yet he was already being placed here?
Samodo said, "He is an Uchiha, and also a distant nephew of the previous Raikage. You should know the value in that."
Samodo paused and said earnestly, "Kiyoshi came to you last time. He will likely contact you again. You need to win him over."
If they can handle this matter well, it will be everyone's achievement.
They won't have to risk their heads deep in enemy territory, unable to sleep peacefully all day long.
Afterwards, Samodo encouraged everyone and gave Atsui extra explanations about the enrollment matters for the next semester, and then let everyone go back to work.
Samui returned to the sushi restaurant absentmindedly, holding a white rag and wiping the tables.
After seeing her younger brother, her heart began to feel restless.
It wasn't that she hated seeing her brother. She was just worried.
"Do you still sell squid sushi?"
Samui subconsciously looked up. She was just about to reply that they did when she realized that it was Kiyoshi.
The feeling of unease in her heart grew stronger.
Samui suppressed this feeling, and looked left and right.
After seeing that no customers were around, she whispered, "What else do you want?"
Samui didn't think Kiyoshi would simply agree to return to Kumogakure. He was probably here to freeload again.
"More scrolls, preferably swordsmanship techniques." Kiyoshi reached out his hand and said.
Samui said, "Do you think these things are common?"
Looking at Kiyoshi's matter-of-course appearance, Samui couldn't contain the anger her heart.
Samodo had said to win over Kiyoshi, but Kiyoshi's appearance was really... asking for a beating.
She had just given Kiyoshi two lightning release ninjutsu scrolls a while ago, and now he was asking for more.
Most of the scrolls that can be bought with money on the market only record common ninjutsu.
Their effects are very poor, so there are many fraudulent scrolls circulating on the market.
The vast majority are inherited within ninja clans.
Or you can learn under a teacher, and if the teacher likes you, you can learn ninjutsu.
"Of course I know that."
Kiyoshi said leisurely, just about to say the prepared words.
Suddenly, behind Samui, he saw a man with the same hair color and pupils as Samui, and a tattoo on his left shoulder.
His originally prepared script quietly changed. It seems that his luck is very good.
"This is your younger brother, right, Samui?"
A smile appeared on the corner of Kiyoshi's mouth.
Samui's green eyes widened suddenly.
Turning around, she saw her younger brother, who had changed into a waiter's uniform.
He seemed to be feeling hot, so he pulled his sleeves up.
Immediately, Samui's brows furrowed tightly.
