Chapter 13 Vortex Physique
On the way back, Yahiko finally learned the whole story from Konan.
For a moment, all he could do was sigh and rub his forehead. "That Qinghe guy, he really can't stay still for a moment. How did he manage to provoke the next Hokage of Konoha again? Sigh!"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Nan, who would always gently comfort him at such times, was uncharacteristically hesitant to speak several times, and finally said something.
"Yahiko, perhaps you should give Shiba Kiyokawa more trust. He must have his reasons for doing this."
His wisdom is now crucial to us and to Akatsuki; we alone are unlikely to achieve true peace.
Yahiko's mouth dropped open in astonishment.
Xiao Nan only went out to carry out a three-day mission, so how come she has changed so much?
Before setting off, didn't Minami clearly say that she was going to persuade Shiba Kiyokawa to understand their ideals? Why is she now speaking up for Shiba Kiyokawa? And the trust she shows in her words is extraordinary!
At this moment, Yahiko even had the illusion that he might have accidentally missed several months of the plot!
Why did it turn out like this?
He will soon realize that it is not just Xiao Nan who has changed.
At this moment, the Akatsuki members around them were all praising the miracle that Shiba Kiyokawa had just created.
They circulated the special statement written by Minato Namikaze among themselves, and for a moment they felt their backs straighten up a bit!
"Kiyokawa, you're truly amazing! You actually managed to force the Fourth Hokage to write such a statement!"
"That's awesome! From now on, we don't have to worry about Konoha ninjas just coming in so easily!"
"That's the Hokage! The Kage of Konoha, the number one ninja village! You actually managed to escape unscathed from the Hokage and even secured such protection for the entire Land of Rain! Kiyokawa, you're truly amazing!"
Since the later stages of the Second Shinobi World War, when Hanzo, the demigod of the Land of Rain, gradually lost his ambition, these Rain Ninja have been unable to hold their heads high in front of other ninja villages for far too long.
Although life was tough before, as long as the demigod was mentioned, even a low-ranking ninja from the Land of Rain struggling to make ends meet could proudly stand tall.
But in recent years, they have almost lost even this last bit of glory.
Shiba Kiyokawa humbly replied, "That Namikaze Minato isn't Hokage yet."
Unexpectedly, the members of the Akatsuki organization are now even more confident than he was.
"It was bound to happen sooner or later!"
They held the scroll left behind by Minato Namikaze as if they were holding up the dignity that the Land of Rain had lost for many years!
"He'll definitely become Hokage! After all, Shiba Kiyokawa, your judgment has never been wrong!"
Many of them had previously been somewhat resistant to Shiba Kiyokawa, feeling that he was too ruthless and extreme, and incompatible with the ideals of the Akatsuki organization.
But now, with this scroll as its endorsement, more and more people are remembering the goodness of Shiba Kiyokawa.
I remembered his flawless strategies and his uncanny foresight.
They still respected Yahiko, but Yahiko's kindness and ideals destined him to become the faith of the people, but it was difficult for him to support the pride in their hearts.
In this respect, Yahiko was ultimately inferior to Nagato, the future second leader of the Akatsuki organization.
However, Yahiko hasn't yet sensed the changes in these people's hearts.
He felt a headache coming on, fearing that the hard-won local peace near the base would be broken, and couldn't help but look at the restless instigator again.
However, Shiba Kiyokawa did not have the energy to spare a glance for Yahiko at this moment.
Because he was currently reviewing the system information he had missed earlier.
Not long ago, just as he decided to take action against Kakashi's team, the system significantly updated his predetermined fate.
At that time, the probability of him not surviving a day was a terrifying 78%! The cause of death was also unsurprisingly "killed by Konoha ninjas".
Fortunately, he managed to turn the tide by relying on his caution, wisdom, and a bit of luck!
Now his death predictions have returned to their initial state, with several outcomes still similar to when he first transmigrated. However, the probability of the death outcomes related to Konoha has decreased, while the probability of dying of old age has increased to 0.6% for the first time ever!
This shows that his efforts are in the right direction, but he has not yet truly touched the core event line of the death omen.
This increased chance of survival also earned him some rewards.
The system drew some more energy from the River of Fate and fished up some good stuff for him.
[Gained: Slight improvement in physical attributes]
[Gain: Chakra reserves increased slightly]
[Obtained: Swordsmanship training notes from Sakumo Hatake, the White Fang of Konoha (to be distributed via dreams later)]
[Obtained: Uchiha clan's experience in countering genjutsu (to be distributed later via dreams)]
[Received: Medical ninjutsu training notes from the Konoha Healing Team (to be distributed later via dreams)]
[Acquired: Uzumaki Clan Physique (Beginner)]
Compared to the previous reward that was given to him in a general way to lay a solid foundation, the rewards given by the system this time are clearly more targeted. It can be seen that they are basically all taken from the four members of Minato Namikaze's team.
What Shiba Kiyokawa cared about most was the last reward: a beginner-level Uzumaki clan physique.
He focused his attention, and the system thoughtfully unfolded a note for him.
[Uzumaki Clan Physique (Basic): Effects include passively increasing total chakra reserves, increasing chakra recovery speed, enhancing sealing technique talent, increasing genjutsu resistance, increasing sage technique adaptability, and increasing jinchūriki compatibility]
The effect is quite good, but because it is a beginner-level physique, it also comes with some drawbacks.
[Under this constitution, the host's total chakra is extremely prone to exceeding the control limit, causing excess chakra to float under the skin. If the host is bitten, this portion of chakra is easily absorbed and will produce a certain healing effect.]
Upon seeing this annotation, Shiba Kiyokawa immediately thought of a girl from the original work, a devoted fan of Sasuke: Karin.
This system comment also answered a long-standing question he had—
"No wonder that among the Uzumaki clan, only Karin and her mother have healing physiques, while Nagato, Kushina, and even the earlier Mito Uzumaki do not. It must be because Nagato and the others have a more advanced Uzumaki physique. An advanced physique can control all of one's chakra, thus preventing chakra from aimlessly wandering on the surface of the body," he speculated in his mind.
This conjecture also encouraged Kiyokazu Shiba.
"I must improve this physique as soon as possible!" he secretly vowed to himself.
He's a man, and it's really hard for him to accept being bitten all the time!
However, on the other hand, this system reward also served as a reminder to Shiba Kiyokawa—
"At this point in time, Karin probably hasn't even been born yet, but her mother should have already fled to the Land of Grass, right?"
After thinking about it, he suddenly felt the urge to make a move again.
Konan has already been shaken by him, so the next target for Akatsuki is naturally Nagato!
Nagato happens to be a member of the Uzumaki clan!
Shiba Kiyokawa pondered carefully, already starting to devise a new scheme to deceive people!
