He naturally disapproved of Kiyoshi becoming Hokage.
For Danzo Shimura, appointing an Uchiha as Hokage to manage Konoha would be nothing short of a nightmare.
Given his past aversion to the Uchiha clan, he's probably not going to get away with this.
"!"
"what!"
"Has Kiyoshi contracted bloodstain disease?"
The secret revealed by Shimura Danzo sent a chill down the spines of the ninjas.
Everyone turned their gaze toward the handsome, tall, and slender Uchiha in front of them.
They couldn't believe that Uchiha Kiyoshi had such a weakness.
No, it must be the powerful bloodline limit of the Uchiha clan. How could it be so terrifying?
No wonder the Uchiha clan was once said to be... a cursed clan.
"This is a historical record from my family. Above the three-tomoe Sharingan, there is actually a state called the 'Mangekyou Sharingan,' whose power surpasses that of the ordinary Sharingan."
Danzo Shimura spoke eloquently, his gaze turning cold as he looked at Kiyoshi.
He began to explain his guess to everyone.
The Shimura clan was also a large clan. When the Senju and Uchiha spread the news of their plan to build a village, the Shimura clan was one of the first ninja clans to join.
The Shimura clan also recorded some secrets from the Warring States period.
Madara Uchiha and his brother Izuna Uchiha never concealed the existence of the Mangekyou Sharingan, thus leaving behind a considerable amount of information.
It's just that the era is too long ago, and the "Mangekyou Sharingan" has never appeared again, so many ninjas don't know about this.
Both Madara Uchiha and Izuna Uchiha experienced a decline in their eyesight.
Finally, it is suspected that Madara Uchiha stole his brother's eyes, which restored his sight.
However, Kiyoshi had no brothers or sisters, so how could he steal the Mangekyou Sharingan from other Uchiha clans?
Currently, only Kiyoshi possesses the "Kaleidoscope Sharingan"!
After hearing Shimura Danzo's guess, everyone showed expressions of surprise.
It turns out there was such a hidden secret.
No wonder Uchiha Kiyoshi is so strong; even just having a three-tomoe Sharingan makes an Uchiha incredibly powerful.
However, from the moment this power was gained, the countdown to its loss also began.
"nonsense!"
The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha was furious.
The Konoha leadership maliciously spread rumors about the Uchiha clan, which is an insult to their honor.
Seeing the reaction of Uchiha Yatsuho, the other ninja clans were more or less gloating.
Hiashi Hyuga looked at Kiyoshi Uchiha.
He had a good impression of Uchiha Kiyoshi, and since the Hyuga clan was also a thousand-year-old clan, he also knew some secrets about the "Mangekyou Sharingan".
Kaleidoscope... is a cursed name.
He sighed inwardly.
It seems that Kiyoshi Uchiha's chances of becoming Hokage are slim this time.
Who would choose a Hokage whose power is gradually waning?
An Uchiha clan member lost his Sharingan.
Can they still really be called Uchiha?
It's estimated that the secret techniques that Kiyoshi possesses can no longer be used.
"Stop talking, Danzo."
Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke.
This could easily sow discord between the Uchiha clan and the village.
The Mangekyou Sharingan is extremely rare, and its presence or absence wouldn't significantly impact the overall strength of the Uchiha clan.
Even a regular Uchiha with three tomoe is considered an elite among Jonin.
Even the enhancements in insight and other aspects brought by one-tomoe or two-tomoe are not easily matched by other ninjas.
Illusion is the greatest insurmountable barrier.
Apart from the Kurama clan's genjutsu (illusionary techniques) that can influence reality, almost no other ninja clan can rival the Uchiha in genjutsu.
"Humph."
Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi speak, Danzo Shimura shut his mouth.
"Shimura Danzo, so you mean I'm someone who could go blind at any moment?"
Kiyoshi's lips curled up slightly.
Logically speaking, Danzo Shimura is right.
Unfortunately, he was not a ninja who played by the rules.
"So what?"
Shimura Danzo replied without hesitation.
Orochimaru's defeat is just that—defeat.
Minato Namikaze is the kind of person who is soft-hearted, so he probably won't target him.
If Kiyoshi were to become Hokage, things would be unpredictable.
"I think you may have some misunderstanding about power."
Kiyoshi's smile gradually widened, and then turned into a burst of laughter.
The room was quiet except for Kiyoshi's loud laughter.
"Qingji..."
Nohara Rin clenched her hands, unsure of what to do.
Kushina was shocked; it was the first time she had ever heard of this.
Mikoto, however, remained expressionless; she knew the inside story.
Not only did she know the inside story, but her body also knew it.
Thanks to the "Qingsi cells," her vision has now been fully restored.
If she, who was absorbing the power, was in such a state, what about Kiyoshi?
"When did I ever say that my Mangekyou Sharingan would make me blind?"
Kiyoshi spoke with a smile, a smile that was gentle yet tinged with a hint of coldness.
In an instant, winter snow turned into spring thunder, and whispers became a powerful pressure.
The room fell silent.
His words then spread like pebbles thrown into a lake, creating ripples.
“You always like to use those ancient legends and incomplete books to define me.”
He squinted, his voice low but clear: "You've seen me use a kaleidoscope, but you haven't seen me go blind... and you're already quick to pronounce my fate."
"Shimura Danzo,"
He chuckled softly, "You're too hasty."
boom! !
As soon as he finished speaking, an overwhelming surge of chakra swept across the entire area, like a thunderclap, and was suddenly released from Kiyoshi's body!
His robes billowed in the gale, his black hair flew high, and the wind he stirred up stung the cheeks of those around him.
In an instant, a sense of oppression filled the room.
Every day, Kiyoshi was honing his physical skills and increasing his chakra.
Over time, this has accumulated into a terrifying ceiling.
His chakra reserves are among the highest in the entire ninja world at this stage.
"Can something that isn't a tailed beast possess such a massive amount of chakra?"
"A humanoid tailed beast... This is a humanoid tailed beast!!"
"Too, too strong, I can't even lift my hand..."
The expressions of hundreds of ninjas changed drastically in an instant. Some turned pale and were covered in cold sweat, while others almost knelt on the ground, trembling all over.
A few people forced themselves to maintain their posture, but their fingers trembled slightly, unable to stop the sound of their hearts pounding.
Only a very few can remain unfazed.
Kiyoshi quietly observed their reactions.
These are all effects brought about by the amount of chakra.
In the original story, the Second Hokage's resurrection alone caused Sasuke to be very wary of the chakra he emitted.
The aura that Hashirama Senju casually exuded also raised Orochimaru's vigilance to the limit.
He knew that if Hashirama wanted to break free, he could break free from the control of "Impure World Reincarnation" at any time.
"What terrifying chakra."
Hiashi Hyuga murmured to himself, his Byakugan revealing the flow of chakra more clearly than anyone else's, and he understood Kiyoshi's terrifying nature even better.
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned. The strongest chakra he had ever seen was that of the First Hokage, whom he had met when he was a child. Yet, Kiyoshi before him already possessed some of the First Hokage's charisma.
"This kid..."
Danzo Shimura's Adam's apple bobbed, his face turned ashen, and for a moment, he had the illusion that he was being spied on and completely seen through by Kiyoshi.
Like prey being targeted by a predator, it instinctively sends out a chilling urge to survive.
"My disciple."
Tsunade crossed her arms over her chest, and the gust of wind she created made the heavy double fruit sway gently.
A smile played at the corners of her lips, a smile tinged with satisfaction, but mostly with a touch of pride, as she thought to herself:
"They really are a real handful."
Tsunade is a descendant of the Senju clan and the granddaughter of the First Hokage. Her chakra reserves are already quite high.
Even so, she had to admit that Kiyoshi's chakra reserves were beyond what could be described as "extraordinary talent".
Is this even human anymore?
This is clearly... a tailed beast dressed in a human skin!
Kiyoshi stood on the platform, the scarlet pattern slowly rotating.
"Don't get this wrong. Whether someone has the Sharingan or not, it won't make any difference if I crush most people."
Qingsi spoke.
"Moreover, I have multiple bloodline limits within me, which have long since neutralized the side effects of the Kaleidoscope."
Kiyoshi casually offered a reason.
He immediately subtly withdrew his chakra, and the oppressive force that felt so heavy instantly disappeared.
Many people seemed to have survived a disaster, panting heavily, their faces as pale as paper.
"With such little courage, you dare to question whether I'm fit to be Hokage?"
Qing Si concluded calmly, his gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on the elders at the top.
"Shimura Danzo, is there anything else you'd like to say?"
"Humph!"
