Half Uchiha With a Trait Panel

Although Kiyoshi's eyes are black when he doesn't activate the Sharingan, and red when he does, they don't have anything to do with "blue" eyes.

However, prophecies are inherently obscure and difficult to understand.

Interpreting blue as clear and clean is also possible.

"Yugito, do you know Kiyoshi?"

Yugito listened in astonishment to the plan proposed by Matatabi.

Shouldn't the normal course of events be the Tailed Beast and the Jinchuriki working together to defeat Kiyoshi, this detestable intruder?

"Alright."

Kiyoshi nodded in agreement.

Without the interference of Matatabi, he could say with certainty that he would defeat Yugito.

The reason he spoke Matatabi's name was to intimidate her. Now it seems to be working well.

People in the ninja world take the prophecies very seriously, especially fanatics like Jiraiya.

He spent his entire life searching for the Child of Prophecy.

With the real Child of Prophecy, Naruto, not yet born, no one else could tell who was the real Child of Prophecy.

"Hmph."

Yugito, the Two-Tails, snorted lightly and spat out a ball of eerie blue flames, with what looked like a black rat wrapped inside.

Mouse hairball!

It arrived in front of Kiyoshi almost instantly.

The fierce wind from the scorching flames caused Kiyoshi's black hair to dance wildly, constantly swaying behind him.

His robes were also fluttering in the wind.

"Not bad, to be able to do this well without borrowing the power of the Tailed Beast." Kiyoshi commented.

Yugito's mastery of "Fire" Release was quite good, showing that she had worked hard at it.

After becoming a Jinchuriki, ninjas don't only gain a huge amount of chakra.

They can even use the Tailed Beast's chakra to train, such as the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Roshi, from Iwagakure.

Roshi had the Four-Tails residing within him from a young age.

In order to control the power of the Tailed Beast, he traveled constantly.

Later, during his travels, he used the Tailed Beast's chakra to fuse Fire and Earth chakra nature transformations, creating Lava Release.

It seemed that Yugito had also borrowed the power of the Two-Tails, mastering that unique flame.

"Unfortunately, it's still a bit lacking."

Kiyoshi's throat moved, and his chest puffed up slightly as a stream of scorching flames spewed from his mouth.

Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!

The flames intertwined in the dim space, erupting with a roaring sound.

The shallow water at their feet vaporized, creating countless ripples.

After a brief exchange, Yugito instantly realized that Kiyoshi was also a master of Fire Release.

That attack just now had used up most of her chakra.

If it were any other Jonin, even if they had reacted to the arrival of Mouse Hairball, they wouldn't be able to avoid the subsequent explosion.

They would have been burned to a crisp on the spot, losing their lives.

"Then…"

Crack!

Kiyoshi's figure quickly broke through the steam in front of him, and arcs of electricity appeared on his arm.

Yugito moved away and closed her eyes. She released several more ninjutsu in succession, but Kiyoshi relentlessly pursued her, constantly entangling with her.

When Yugito was exhausted from parrying, a sliver of light appeared when she opened her tightly closed eyes.

The intense light blocked her vision.

Yugito, who hailed from Kumogakure, had a drastic change in expression and immediately realized that this was a Lightning Release genjutsu, but it was already too late.

"Is it over?"

Matatabi stared at Kiyoshi and Yugito's battle with beastly eyes that were even larger than a human's.

Yugito's taijutsu skills were clearly inferior to Kiyoshi's.

If Yugito hadn't learned the Lightning Release ninjutsu of Kumogakure, she probably would have had muscle pain from just a few exchanges with Kiyoshi.

Even so, Yugito quickly fell behind.

When Kiyoshi seized a moment of carelessness and used genjutsu, Matatabi understood that the situation was decided.

"Huh?"

She made a questioning sound.

Why was Yugito trembling?

Could it be that she saw something terrifying in the genjutsu?

The most terrifying thing for Yugito should be not being recognized by the village and her companions.

In the dim space, the shallow water level below remained fixed in the same position as always, as if unaffected by the battle just now.

But at this time, there were many more ripples on the water's surface.

This was because another stream of water from a Water Release ninjutsu was injected, causing the water surface here to ripple in circles, constantly spreading outward.

Matatabi, who had lived for thousands of years, had seen too many strange and unusual things.

She thought that only Kiyoshi, who seemed to be the Child of Prophecy as foretold, could cause a change in her state of mind.

She had never expected to have an emotional fluctuation again.

Thousands of years, a full thousand years.

Matatabi had never seen a ninja use genjutsu like this.

Genjutsu can manipulate a person's five senses, which also means that it can make it difficult for a ninja to distinguish between reality and illusion.

It can reach the point of deceiving the brain.

Once the brain is deceived, the body will instinctively react as if it were really happening.

"So hot… What did you do to me?"

Yugito's clear eyes became dull.

The focus of her eyes became more diffused, becoming dull and without highlights.

She felt herself rising to the vast and illusory clouds. Her body was tense, as if enduring great pain.

A trace of pink appeared on her fair face, and her unfocused eyes rolled back.

This was a reaction that the human body would have when subjected to great stimulation.

"I won."

Kiyoshi said with a faint smile.

The power of his Sharingan was fluctuating, and the progress of the pupil power in his right eye was increasing.

It wouldn't be long before he could awaken the Three-Tomoe Sharingan in both eyes.

Kiyoshi was looking forward to it. How strong would he be at that time?

Matatabi looked at Kiyoshi, who was actually still able to smile, and felt that Kiyoshi, like his ancestor Indra, was a bit strange.

Or rather, mentally unstable.

Matatabi thought again that the Sage of Six Paths had also said that the Child of Prophecy would bring destruction or change to the ninja world.

That is to say, both of these situations could happen, depending on how the person involved guides the Child of Prophecy.

"…You won."

Matatabi knew that Yugito was fine, just stimulated, and had followed the agreement not to interfere from beginning to end.

The next moment

Kiyoshi returned to reality. The mountain breeze and the moist smell of soil once again rushed into his nose.

Yugito's consciousness was still dormant in the mental space. Matatabi took over her body, putting on an act of chakra berserk.

Roar!

The roar of the Tailed Beast shook the heavens and the earth, causing the leaves to fall and the birds to fly away in fright.

"The Two-Tails… the Two-Tails has gone berserk!"

"It seems that Yugito-sama has fainted!"

"Sealing Team, are there any ninjas who used to be in the Sealing Team?"

"Damn it, what exactly did that guy do to Yugito-sama?"

The Kumo ninjas were in chaos.

A Tailed Beast is a double-edged sword. If you subdue it, you can defend against enemies. If you can't subdue it, it will backfire.

When a Tailed Beast goes berserk, it doesn't distinguish between friend and foe.

"Heh heh, using genjutsu to enrage the Tailed Beast?"

A trace of appreciation flashed in Orochimaru's eyes.

Immediately, he no longer concealed his figure and arrived in front of Kiyoshi and the others, crawling like a snake.
