The Otsutsuki Road from Kirigakure

"Kiyoshi, my name is Otsutsuki Kiyoshi." Kiyoshi replied, and the chakra in his body that had just subconsciously begun to accelerate gradually calmed down.

Although he was born into the Kaguya clan, Qingsi had never come into contact with other Kaguya members except his parents since he was a child. In addition, his family had been exiled and was not recognized by the Kaguya clan. Therefore, Qingsi had no sense of belonging to the Kaguya clan at all. On the contrary, because he was not recognized by the Kaguya clan, he never thought about inheriting the Kaguya surname.

Seiji has the blood of the Otsutsuki flowing in his body, plus the gift from Otsutsuki Isshiki, and Seiji's ultimate goal is to become a complete Otsutsuki, so Seiji is more willing to inherit the surnames of his ancestor Otsutsuki Hamura and the source of his bloodline, Otsutsuki Kaguya.

"That's right, it seems that the elder should know you. Come with me, the elder wants to see you!" After Bi confirmed that Qingsi was indeed the person Yuanshi wanted to see, he made an invitation.

He followed Bi to Yuanshi's home with some doubts, constantly guessing Yuanshi's purpose in his heart.

In fact, Yuanshi's purpose was only to take care of an old friend with whom he had a good relationship, and to examine Qingsi's potential and current strength. If he had good talent, he could add another fighting force to the village.

However, Genji had only told Seiji about some of his own experiences before, and his introduction to the Hidden Mist Village was rather brief. Moreover, Seiji had almost no knowledge of the Hidden Mist Village in his previous life. The only two impressions he had were that a green Konoha Genin destroyed the Hidden Mist Village's signature force, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi, who completely met Seiji's aesthetic taste.

At that time, Genji originally planned to wait for Seiji's strength to improve to the point where he could defeat the jonin, and then take him back to the Hidden Mist Village to get rid of the surveillance of the Kaguya clan. Unexpectedly, Isshiki's sudden arrival broke his plan, and Genji also burned himself in the process of protecting Seiji.

Therefore, Qingsi was not clear about the relationship between his family and the elder master.

Soon, Qingsi followed Bi to Yuanshi's house and saw Yuanshi lying peacefully on a chair in the courtyard.

"Elder, what do you want to talk to me about? I don't think we know each other." Qing Si said. At this time, Qing Si did not know the name and identity of the master, but he still maintained due respect for this old man who was highly supported by the villagers.

"Child, come here, closer." Master Yuan sighed and sat up.

"Didn't Genji tell you all this? Is he okay now?" The 50-year-old Master basically watched Genji grow up, and his memory of Genji still stayed in his 20s, so it was normal for him to call him a little guy. Moreover, the southern border of the Land of Water had long been beyond the influence of Kirigakure, and in recent years, Master gradually ignored many affairs of Kirigakure, so he didn't know Genji's recent situation.

Qing Si was shocked when he heard Master Yuan mention his father's name in a nostalgic tone. At the same time, he recalled every little detail of his father's life, his eyes became sore, and his face showed sadness.

"Father has returned to the Pure Land." Qingsi said in a low voice.

"Really?" Yuanshi's words were filled with disappointment. The next generation that he had high hopes for died young. Yuanshi knew that Genji was injured and thought that Genji died of his injuries, so he did not ask any more questions.

"I haven't introduced myself to you yet. I am the Master, the elder of the Hidden Mist Village. Your father, Kaguya Genji, once served under me, and he was the successor to the title of Kage that I most favored at the time."

"Your grandfather Kaguya Morito is a good friend of this old man, and your mother Kaguya Yukiko was also raised by me."

"Master Yuanshi!" Qingsi suddenly understood after hearing the introduction of Yuanshi. Qingsi, who had no relatives, could not help but feel a sense of closeness to this old man who was very close to his family.

“Don’t be so restrained. I have watched your father grow up step by step. It was me who recommended him to join the second generation’s Shadow Guard, not to mention your mother and grandfather.” Yuan Shi explained with a smile.

"I am nearly 60 years old, which is considered an old age in the ninja world. I know that you don't have many relatives alive now. I don't have any children, and I have devoted all my life's energy to the village. If you don't mind, you can call me grandpa." Although Qingsi's talent has not been tested yet, looking at Qingsi's sad face, the childless and nearly -year-old Yuanshi still showed his kindness to Qingsi.

"Grandpa Yuanshi!" Facing the kind and amiable face of Yuanshi, Qingsi, who had no relatives in his previous life and whose relatives in this life had all passed away, did not have the slightest resistance in his heart and called out very naturally.

"Good boy! Your name is Kaguya Seiji, right? From now on, you can consider this place as your home. Gonbei, go and prepare a room for little Seiji." Master Yuan said to another guard beside him.

"No, Grandmaster Yuanshi, my last name is not Kaguya. There is no such person as Qingsi in the Kaguya clan now. Even my father and mother are not recognized by the clan." Qingsi said calmly, but his words were full of hatred.

"My name is Otsutsuki Seiji." After calming down, Seiji continued.

"Otsutsuki?" The master was a little confused. He didn't know this surname and had never heard of it in the ninja world. He just thought that this was the surname that Seiji gave himself because he didn't want to return to the Hyuga clan.

Qingji did not explain. The truth about the Otsutsuki clan was too terrifying for the current ninja world, so it would be better not to reveal it before he grew up.

"Alright." The Master nodded after completing the task in his mind, which was considered as approval. "Then from now on, Qingsi will live in the Hidden Mist Village under the name of Otsutsuki."

"Gonbei, take Xiao Qingsi to his room to rest. It's getting late, let's talk about other things tomorrow." Master Yuan ordered Gonbei who had just returned.

"Oh, by the way, cancel your transformation technique! You can rest assured with me!" After confirming Qing Si's identity, Master Yuan saw that he did not have the iconic double horns on his forehead, and knew that he had used the transformation technique.

"Master Qingsi, please come this way!" Quan Bingwei took Qingsi to the room prepared for him. "Then Master Qingsi, I will withdraw first. You can call me anytime if you need anything."

Qingsi came into the room, his mood was still a little agitated. He was just out to relax because his plans had not progressed and he was bored. Unexpectedly, there was an elder grandfather who was his father's boss. Qingsi felt that today's experience was a bit magical. But he did not reject the addition of an elder. He was an orphan in his previous life, and lost his mother in childhood and his father in youth in this life. Qingsi was still looking forward to family affection.

-----------------

The next morning, Qingsi got up early and officially started his life in the Hidden Mist Village.

After having breakfast with Master Yuan, Master Yuan brought Qing Si and two guards to the backyard. As the elder with the highest status in Kirigakure, Master Yuan's residence was very large, and the backyard was specially built for his guards to practice.

"Xiao Qingsi, you are 9 years old now, right? I can sense that you have a lot of chakra in your body, but I don't know how strong you are now?" asked the master.

"I think I can fight a jonin." Qingsi said modestly. Qingsi was not willing and did not need to hide anything about himself from this grandfather who he had just met for a day but was very kind to him.

Hearing Qingsi's answer, Master Yuan was stunned, and then a hint of shock appeared on his old face.

"A 9-year-old jonin? If he can barely rival a jonin, then he is still a jonin." Master Yuan was secretly surprised by Qingsi's talent.

But Master Yuan thought that Qingsi grew up in a remote place and might not have an accurate understanding of the level of Jonin.

As an elder, he couldn't express his doubts about Qingsi's ability, so he had to let the guard Bi behind him test Qingsi's strength.

"Master Qingsi, I'm sorry!" Bi came in front of Qingsi and made a seal of opposition.
