Chapter 10 First Encounter with Samui

"Are all the people from the Land of Lightning this talented?"

Kurenai Yuhi declined Asuma Sarutobi's offer of candy, fearing that eating too much candy would make her gain weight.

Sarutobi Asuma can be considered her childhood friend.

She and Sarutobi Asuma knew each other before they even started school.

"Someone in my family has fought against the Cloud Village ninjas, and that's what they said."

Sarutobi Asuma conjured up images of burly, dark-skinned men in his mind.

No matter how you look at it, it's different from that thin Kiyoshi.

"But Kiyoshi's skin isn't exactly dark, is it?"

Sarutobi Asuma said.

I've heard the old man say that although most people in Hidden Cloud Village are black, there are also some people with very fair skin.

Of course, the common feature is that they are strong.

I don't know how they trained to do that.

"Who knows?"

Yuhi Hong shook her head.

She wasn't very interested in whether Kiyoshi was strong in physical combat.

What I really want to ask is how talented Kiyoshi is in illusion magic?

I've always heard my father say that the Uchiha clan's genjutsu is extremely powerful, and that everyone who awakens the Sharingan is a genjutsu master.

Kurenai Yuhi denies this.

In her heart, her father, whose illusion skills were unparalleled, had worked hard all his life to achieve such a feat.

How could someone with just any Sharingan surpass that?

Among his classmates, only Kiyoshi has awakened the Sharingan.

It is said that even Lady Tsunade was alarmed and went to investigate.

Kiyoshi felt a gaze on him and looked over.

It is the crimson sunset.

What is she looking at herself doing?

After thinking for a while, Kiyoshi didn't pay much attention to the matter, occasionally responding to the conversations of those around him, and focusing on the panel in front of him.

[Entry: Long-distance runner (white)]

[Requirement met: Run 5 kilometers.]

Progress: (Completed)

[Effect: Your lower body strength has improved, making you more adaptable to long-distance travel; your leg strength has increased by 5% from its original level.]

[Note: Further advanced levels are available.]

"I gained a new term in just over a class period."

Kiyoshi closed the panel, and his lower limbs felt as if a warm current was flowing into them, permeating every cell, making his muscles feel even more solid.

He should receive some bonuses when using physical techniques such as kicking.

"I wonder if training methods like rock climbing and throwing ninja tools will continue to trigger the corresponding affixes."

Kiyoshi pondered to himself.

"Kiyoshi, are you pondering the meaning of youth?"

Matt Kai asked, as if he had met a kindred spirit.

"..."

Qingsi didn't say anything.

Ten minutes later, after the students, including Umino, had rested enough, the results were announced.

"Might Guy first, Kakashi second..."

He began reading the list, and Kiyoshi was eventually ranked sixth.

Kiyoshi showed no change in expression in response.

He has only been training for a short time, yet he has already jumped to sixth place, which is enough to demonstrate his physical talent.

You know, everyone else does physical training every semester, yet he still surpasses them.

No wonder Yakushi Nonou said he was suited to be a taijutsu ninja.

"Alright everyone, remember to go back and prepare for the sparring session a week from now. Here is the list."

Umino read out the list a week from now.

Because of the transfer student Kiyoshi, who originally ensured that everyone had a practice partner and the class size was an even number, there is now one more student.

After thinking for a moment, Umino saw Obito walking over to talk to Rin, and said:

"Obito, it's tentatively scheduled that you and Kiyoshi will spar together next week. The roster changes every week."

Obito was taken aback.

Isn't this giving him a chance to prove himself?

When I defeat Kiyoshi in a cool way in front of Rin, I'll let her know that he was just lucky last time.

"Understood, Professor Umino!"

Obito shouted loudly.

"Um."

Uminoru nodded.

Obito's grades weren't great, but his attitude towards learning was very positive.

Obito's taijutsu ranking was among the lowest, which would allow Kiyoshi, who had transferred in, to adjust properly.

"Then, dismissal."

Roku Umino announced his resignation.

And so today's lesson came to an end.

After school, Kiyoshi went to see Nohara Rin again, asking her to teach him more about how to control his chakra.

This time, both Kakashi and Obito were present.

Kiyoshi continued his rigorous training as he had the day before.

Today's activity is still tree climbing, but we've chosen a taller tree.

This requires much more stringent control of chakra for a long time.

As the twilight bathed the forest, Kiyoshi was the first to leave.

"Kiyoshi-kun, so early today?"

"I've been in Konoha for a month now, and I want to go out and try some good food."

"So that's how it is."

Nohara Rin nodded.

Some of the small vendors' products are indeed quite good. She knew a little girl named Mitarashi Azuko who often went to a shop to drink red bean soup and liked to eat it with meatballs.

……

After Kiyoshi left, he did not go home immediately, but wandered the streets of Konoha.

Finally, he casually entered an ordinary shop, a "sushi restaurant".

He had just entered and hadn't even spoken when a shop assistant came over.

"You're here to try our newly developed dish, squid sushi, right?"

The female shop assistant had short blonde hair, and her apron could barely cover her broad-mindedness, revealing a gray top underneath.

Samui!

Kiyoshi was deeply impressed by this woman.

She is one of the few women in the original work who can rival Tsunade.

Nothing else, just big.

After a short while, Qing Si withdrew his gaze, looked at that pretty face, and frowned slightly.

Samui looks like he's already a teenager, which doesn't match the timeline in the original work at all.

Did his time travel cause some kind of butterfly effect?

"I'll have the squid sushi."

Qingsi continued speaking along with Samui's words.

Samui is from Kumogakure, and the fact that he can come here must be the instruction of the Kumogakure top leaders.

They came over to talk to me, probably because they recognized my face.

"You are the first guest to try this new dish. Please follow me."

Samui led Kiyoshi deeper into the restaurant. "This is a newly developed dish. It requires the freshest squid, and this step is specified by the guest."

Soon, they arrived at a room containing many glass fish tanks.

The glass fish tank is filled with many fish, and bubbles are floating on the surface of the water coming out of the filter pipes.

Samui did not stop, but instead placed his hand on the wall.

A black sealing spell pattern flashed, and an opening appeared in the wall.

A deep, dark passage appeared before Kiyoshi.

At the very back, a man with a dreadlocked braid turned around, looking rather conspicuous.

"Yotsuki Seiji, it's nice to meet you. I'm Satsuma."

"Yotsuki is a former surname. I am Uchiha."

Qing Si said calmly.

Satsuma's hairstyle is normal in Konoha. In the first part of the story, Iruka was giving an outdoor lesson to Konohamaru and other students when Hiruzen Sarutobi came to inspect the class and explained the Will of Fire to the students.

There were children with dirty braids among them.

This is quite common.
