It's very likely that it won't be very effective against Otsutsuki.

The process of creating "Hero's Water" involves collecting and refining liquid from a giant tree every hundred years, leading Kiyoshi to speculate that it might be related to a divine tree.

After drinking it, it can increase chakra to a certain extent within a limited range.

This is enough for Kiyoshi. Even if his chakra level only doubles, his strength will undergo a dramatic change.

Moreover, twice is the worst-case scenario.

"However, the cost is a significant reduction in user lifespan."

Qing Si pondered.

The leader of Takigakure Village drank the "Hero's Water" in his middle age and died immediately after the battle.

Because of his old age and frail health, he could not withstand the side effects of "Hero's Water".

"Once you get it, you can try to study how to reduce the side effects first."

Kiyoshi glanced at the sky, then vanished in a flash.

Although he lived for over three hundred years, he shouldn't have wasted his life like this.

…………

Inside the Kiyoshi tent.

The first thing he did upon returning was to read through the "Ghost Sprout Technique".

"To come up with such a combined ninjutsu technique, you really have some skill."

Qing Si closed the scroll.

It was still early.

His interrogation of Hiruko, his report to Hiruzen Sarutobi, and his trip to Ringo Ameyuri all took less than an hour in total.

This is the benefit of the "Flying Thunder God Technique"—it allows you to become a time management master at any time.

"Misaka-nee?"

Just as Kiyoshi was about to delve into the secret techniques of "Wood" Release, the curtain was lifted, and a figure walked in.

Currently stationed in a camp behind the front lines, Mikoto is dressed as a capable ninja.

Perhaps because it was still early, Mikoto did not wear the green ninja vest, but simply wore an ordinary jacket.

The simple coat is lined with a dark ninja-style inner lining that fits snugly and has a naturally bulging, heart-shaped curve.

"So early, is something the matter?"

Qingsi asked.

He's been busy catching up on Kushina's progress lately and has neglected Mikoto's.

Mikoto didn't say anything, she just raised her head.

Their eyes met.

Qingsi frowned slightly.

Mangekyō Sharingan!

What triggered Mikoto's reaction?

Without a mind-blowing stimulus or pain, it is impossible to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Indra, the progenitor of the Uchiha clan, killed his most loyal and trusted subordinates in order to evolve his Sharingan.

"What happened?"

Qingsi spoke.

His keen chakra perception allowed him to sense the chilling aura emanating from Mikoto's chakra.

Among all Uchiha ninjas, the stronger the ninja, the colder the temperature of their chakra tends to be.

Only ninjas with a sunny disposition and vibrant vitality can exude a sunny feeling through their chakra; Naruto is a prime example.

Mikoto did not answer Kiyoshi's question.

She gently opened her mouth and said:

"I just chatted with Kushina for a while."

"Ok?"

Kiyoshi awaited Mikoto's response.

Kushina said you gave her a birthday present.

Kiyoshi was taken aback.

Mikoto looked at him with a faint smile in her eyes, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

Her fingers twisted the hem of her sleeve so tightly they almost created a crease.

"and……"

Mikoto emphasized, "You two kissed."

The tent was so quiet that even the sound of the breeze hitting the outside seemed harsh.

Mikoto's eyes gradually reddened.

She wanted to laugh, but the corners of her mouth trembled involuntarily.

"Do you remember?"

She asked in a low voice, almost in a whisper.

“It was at my house before.”

Kiyoshi looked up and met her gaze.

"You kissed me first. I was the one who got your first kiss."

She leaned forward slightly, her eyes gradually welling up with tears. "Kiyoshi... have you really forgotten?"

She thought that was the beginning of their secret.

But now, another name has come in, cutting that memory into pieces like a knife.

"How can it be."

Qingsi shook his head.

He didn't expect Kushina to tell everyone everything.

I never expected that something like this could actually awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Mikoto's progress is much behind Kushina's.

That's why he's been focusing on Kushina lately.

"Then why...did you kiss Kushina?"

Mikoto asked the question that had been on her mind.

Her voice was soft, but her tone was inexplicably low, like paper that had been soaked in water, which would crumble at the slightest touch.

"You once said you liked my type."

She spoke softly, her voice tinged with a growing gloom.

"But Kushina doesn't seem to be my style."

Her voice grew softer and softer, like an icy spring seeping from the depths of her heart, carrying long-hidden jealousy, resentment, and even a twisted longing.

"So you think I should just sit at home, quietly waiting for you to remember me? You can kiss her, pamper her, coax her, and then come back and tell me—'Ah, Mikoto, of course I haven't forgotten you either.'"

"what about me?"

"What am I?"

She moved slightly closer, her voice suddenly rising a fraction, "An old friend you only remember when you occasionally look back?"

Kiyoshi frowned and said in a low voice:

"You know that's not what I meant."

The Uchiha clan is indeed a clan possessed by demonic forces.

Kiyoshi, being a member of the Uchiha clan, felt at that moment that Tobirama Senju's theory was not without merit.

The stronger the love, the easier it is to lose control and go to the other side.

Women are inherently emotional creatures, especially when it comes to the Uchiha clan...

In the original work, Mikoto always appears as a gentle older sister, but after retiring as a Jonin, she is definitely not as naive and innocent as she seems on the surface.

"is it?"

Mikoto's scarlet kaleidoscope eyes slowly spun, fixed intently on Kiyoshi. "How will you prove it?"

How do you want me to prove it?

Qing Si countered with a question.

Mikoto awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan was something he hadn't expected.

However, this can only be considered a minor episode, and it is still under Kiyoshi's control. Even if Mikoto awakens the Mangekyou Sharingan, she will not be his match.

"Kiyoshi, Kiyoshi, it's time for a mission!"

Suddenly, Kushina's voice came from outside the door.

Kiyoshi subconsciously turned his head, only to see Mikoto fasten the curtains and close the open window.

He had a strange sense of familiarity...

Then, Mikoto stood on tiptoe and kissed Kiyoshi.

"Seiji, Seiji?"

Kushina's voice was still calling for Kiyoshi from outside the door.

"Perhaps he went out first. It seems that the Hokage has something to discuss with Kiyoshi."

Namikaze Minato spoke.

After preparing again, the new gift he gave to Kushina was the "Eight Trigrams Seal".

This is something he personally improved upon the "Four Symbols Seal," and it took him a lot of effort to create.

I originally planned to give it to Kushina later, to refine it further.

In order to finish making a birthday gift in time, Minato Namikaze worked all night to finally perfect it so that it could be given to Kushina.

"Kiyoshi, you don't want Kushina to find out about our affair, do you?"

After a long while, they parted ways.

Mikoto was slightly out of breath, breathing in the fresh air, with a blush on her face.

She landed on her tiptoes, her scarlet eyes fixed on Kiyoshi.

"We're about to go on a mission."

"I took the day off today."

Mikoto interrupted Seiji.

"..."

Kiyoshi began to scrutinize Mikoto closely.

From Kiyoshi's perspective, one can see Mikoto's voluptuous figure, with a slender waist and rounded hips...

And then there's the restless, trembling human heart, its pale, smooth surface seemingly telling of Mikoto's palpitations.

Qing Si could smell a faint fragrance that was refreshing and invigorating.

This figure doesn't have the exaggeratedly large, fat look of Tsunade.

However, it was only slightly inferior.

It's far beyond the youthful charm of characters like Kurenai Yuhi and Rin Nohara; it exudes a mature... allure.
