Starting with the usurpation of Akatsuki, the ninja world was overthrown.

Chapter 95 A Deviated Fate

Chapter 95 A Deviated Fate

Although Kaori Uzumaki had been wandering since she was very young, she had seen many of the elders of the Uzumaki clan.

She couldn't possibly mistake the signature ability, the Vajra Lockdown!

At this moment, as she looked at Shiba Kiyokawa, who stood tall on the training field, tears welled up in her eyes without her noticing.

Xiao Nan looked back and forth between the two, somewhat confused.

It wasn't until Shiba Kiyokawa took the initiative to explain, "Yes, this is indeed the Adamantine Sealing Chains. I only just found out that I might also have a little bit of the Uzumaki bloodline."

Xiao Nan tilted her head, puzzled, and asked, "But your hair isn't red!"

Shiba Kiyokawa shrugged. "That's why I said it's just a tiny bit of blood."

Xiao Nan looked suspiciously at the huge crater on the ground that the Vajra Lock had just created.

Are you sure this is just a tiny bit?

Before she could ask any more questions, Kaoru Uzumaki, who was standing next to her, was so excited that she rushed up and hugged Kiyoka Shiba tightly.

"Qinghe, thank goodness! You're all still alive! That's wonderful!"

At that moment, both Shiba Kiyokawa and Konan fell silent, leaving the moment to Koyo.

Having not experienced wandering and the annihilation of their clan, they might not be able to fully empathize with Xiangye's feelings, but at this moment they could at least share in Xiangye's excitement, relief, and joy.

After hugging Shiba Kiyokawa for a while, Uzumaki Kaoru finally let go of him, took a step back, and then suddenly blushed for no apparent reason.

"Hey, Qinghe, do you think we're related by blood?" Whirlpool Xiangye asked softly.

Shiba Kiyokazu's lips twitched involuntarily.

He accidentally got hit by the boomerang he threw again.

This is the consequence of randomly choosing relatives.

"Probably not. Although I've never met my parents, I've never heard anyone say that either of them is red-haired."

Shiba Kiyokazu explained.

He was just saying it casually.

Little did she know that this simple sentence would stir up endless ripples in Xiangye's mind.

If there are no direct blood relatives of the same clan, then wouldn't that be possible...?

The major ninja clans in the ninja world have always had the custom of intermarriage within their clans in order to protect their bloodline limits and various abilities passed down through bloodlines.

Shiba Kiyokawa didn't think of this because his bloodline was given to him by the system, so he naturally didn't have the sense of responsibility to inherit and protect his bloodline.

But the swirling jasmine leaf is different!

In her eyes, Shiba Kiyokawa, who had awakened the Vajra Sealing Technique, possessed the most authentic Uzumaki bloodline!

Shouldn't we help protect and continue this bloodline? It's the most precious thing the Uzumaki clan has ever possessed!

But... will he accept it? I'm older than him...

And wouldn't this be unfair to Xiaonan?

For a moment, Xiangye's heart was filled with endless turmoil.

Unfortunately, Shiba Kiyokawa, who was standing in front of him, was too clueless to notice anything.

However, in the following days, Shiba Kiyokawa quickly sensed the changes.

When he is so engrossed in his research on sealing techniques that he loses track of time, Uzumaki Koyo will appear at just the right moment and bring him a delicious bento box.

While he discussed the capital's reconstruction plan with the recruited artisan representatives, Whirlpool Fragrance Leaf would quietly brew tea for them next door.

When he closes his eyes at night to regulate his breathing and completes his daily chakra refinement, he will see Uzumaki Koyo kneeling in front of him in a kimono and asking gently when he opens his eyes.

"You must be tired after a long day. Would you like me to give you a massage? I'm a beginner, so my technique might not be very good yet."

After a few days, even someone as oblivious as Shiba Kiyoka should have realized that Kaori-nee had ulterior motives towards her.

But my body is only sixteen years old!

To avoid making mistakes too early, he accelerated his research progress and then promptly withdrew to go to the dungeon again.

Upon arrival, I was greeted with a warm and unusual greeting.

"You've arrived. Did you succeed, Godfather?"

After spending some time together, Shiba Kiyokawa confirmed that Terai was not a time traveler; he was simply an orphan who wanted to have a father figure.

"Come out, let's continue the experiment. This time I'll be a bit rough, so please bear with me."

Terai casually agreed, appearing incredibly brave at that moment.

Then, less than three hours later, he collapsed onto the lab table like a dead dog, drooling, his eyes vacant, looking like he had been completely ruined.

He didn't even have the strength to call out to his godfather.

Shiba Kiyokawa, standing to the side, looked completely satisfied.

It wasn't for any other reason than that the experiment was a success.

"Who gave you the order to come to the Land of Rain?"

"Shimura Danzo."

After answering instinctively, Terai suddenly jolted awake, instantly jumping up from the lab table with trembling hands, clutching her neck in terror!

However, after a long two seconds, the expected pain and suffocation did not come.

He then realized: "Success? I can speak the information from the root now? The seal of eradicating the root of tongue calamity has been broken?!"

"It's only a temporary suppression. The design of this technique is ingenious, and I want to keep it for further research, so I didn't completely remove it for you."

Shiba Kiyokawa offered an explanation, then turned and looked seriously at Terai.

So, what's your choice?

Terai then noticed that his legs were still fixed to the experimental table, and the chakra in his body was as still as a stagnant pool.

The young man before me remained as cautious as ever.

Terai was not surprised by this and readily replied, "I choose to join your Akatsuki organization."

"Very well, then, first tell me what you need to explain."

Terai lowered his head and slowly exhaled.

He was unwavering when he decided to betray Konoha, but now, when it comes to revealing information about his closest relatives, he seems to be struggling.

However, he eventually revealed, "My older sister's name is Yakushi Nonou, and as you said before, she is currently working for Root."

But before he could finish his first sentence, Shiba Kiyokawa interrupted him in shock.

"Wait, you said her name is Yakushi Nonou? The walking shrine maiden from Root?"

Immediately, the person who was shocked became Terai.

"You! How did you know my sister's code name? How did you know about our Konoha spies when you were in the Land of Rain? You really do know sorcery, don't you?!"

"..."

"..."

After a moment of mutual shock and respect, the two finally calmed down.

For a moment, Shiba Kiyokawa realized that he might have to reassess the value of this interesting soul.

Yakushi Nonou was a legendary spy in herself, and more importantly, in the original work, she also raised a big boss who was capable of changing the course of ninja history!

"Go on," Shiba Kiyokawa said after calming down.

And then, the surprises Terai brought him continued.

"Nonou-neechan had already retired after the Second Shinobi World War."

However, a new war broke out, and Root forced her to return to the mountains and sent her to the Land of Earth.

However, a few months ago, due to the death of Ryoma Aburame and the rift between Orochimaru and Root, I promptly sent a message to my sister. In our last communication, she said she had already escaped from the Land of Earth.

Shiba Kiyokawa was once again taken aback.

"You're saying Nono ran away?"

Fate seems to have deviated from its original course.

On second thought, it seems that this was also something I caused myself.
