The Otsutsuki Road from Kirigakure

At this time, the Hidden Mist Village had long since broken free from the financial control of the Daimyo of the Land of Water and embarked on a development path that Kiyoshi believed was extremely correct.

In Kiyoshi's eyes, the current Kirigakure has truly become a Kirigakure "village". It is no longer like before, being controlled by the Daimyo of the Land of Water and becoming more like a mercenary organization under the deformed one-country-one-village system.

The ninja village, which possesses cutting-edge power and is considered the largest violent organization in a country, is actually controlled by daimyos and nobles who are just ordinary people because of financial problems. It is a real joke in the ninja world!

Imagine that those ninjas who possess extraordinary powers and can easily control the life and death of ordinary people actually have to rely on ordinary people who do not have any special abilities to provide financial support.

This is as ridiculous as thinking that an elite army is commanded by a group of civilians who know nothing.

Not to mention, the supreme leader of the ninja village, known as the Kage, actually needs to be appointed by the daimyo of a country!

What's worse is that this situation is not an isolated case, but a common one in all ninja villages. The daimyo and nobles used their control over economic resources to firmly grasp the lifeline of the ninja village, forcing the ninja to submit to their authority. This not only restricted the freedom and development of the ninja, but also plunged the entire ninja world into a distorted power structure.

The only person who had ever thought about this and tried to make changes was our old friend of the Hidden Mist Village, the assistant Hokage of Konoha Village, the first Nabekage, Danzo Shimura.

However, his verbal threats to the Fire Country Daimyo, as well as the actions that he almost put into practice, were eventually stopped and halted by the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, who discovered the signs.

All I can say is that the God of Ninjas back then, the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, gave the Ninja Village era a good start!

After all, in this ninja world where supernatural powers like chakra exist, ninjas who possess power should rely on their own strength and wisdom to become the masters of the ninja world, rather than being bound by those who have no power at all.

"Come on! Tomorrow is your graduation exam. Today, the teacher will test the results of your practice in recent months!" Qing Si smiled kindly at the three little ones. He liked these three disciples with different personalities from the bottom of his heart.

Upon hearing this, the three little ones' expressions changed slightly. The last time Qing Si fought against them was about three months ago. That time, they were badly beaten to a pulp by Qing Si.

Qing Si let the three little ones use only two legs and one hand, stood in place, and easily defeated the joint attack of the three of them by relying on his right hand alone, and even knocked them down easily without moving.

What’s even more terrifying is that it was just a shadow clone of Qingsi!

However, this is also because the three little ones have been constantly consolidating their foundation. They are already 12 years old. Although the amount of chakra has far exceeded that of ordinary ninjas of the same age, especially Nagato from the Uzumaki clan, who can become the carrier of Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan.

However, in terms of their overall strength, only Nagato has barely reached the level of a jonin, while the other two are at the level of a chunin. Of course, this is also the result of Kiyoshi's deliberate suppression.

With the foundation already laid, once Qingsi really lets go and allows them to improve themselves and enter a period of explosive growth in strength, their strength will soon begin to advance by leaps and bounds.

Nagato is the most talented among the three. However, over the years, in addition to teaching him a few simple ninjutsu and training him in the changes of various chakra attributes, Seiji has been constantly strengthening his body in various ways.

Last year, Sanzu Amado used the corpse of the special White Zetsu Afei to carefully mix a small number of White Zetsu cells and integrate them into Nagato's body. The purpose was to make Nagato's body strong enough to fully support the pair of Rinnegan.

Nagato has the blood of the Uzumaki clan and is considered to be extremely talented among the clan. At a young age, he already possesses an extremely terrifying amount of chakra, which is more than enough to bear the pair of Rinnegan from Uchiha Madara. This is exactly why Uchiha Madara chose Nagato. However, although the amount of chakra meets the requirements, Nagato's physical strength, or the life force contained in his body, is far from enough.

Therefore, under Qingsi's intentional control, the current Nagato has not yet truly awakened the pair of Samsara eyes with terrifying powers, and can only unleash simple repulsive force. This is also the reason why although Nagato has the Samsara eyes, his strength is not that outrageous.

However, once Nagato's physical strength reaches Seiji's requirements, that is, the minimum level that can bear the Rinnegan, then, with the Rinnegan, Nagato's strength will immediately enter a period of rapid growth. It may take only a few months to reach the Kage level, or even a few years to reach the Super Kage level.

The second is Konan, who has a special bloodline limit called Paper Release. For a ninja with a bloodline limit, as long as it is developed to a certain level, becoming a jonin can be said to be a relatively simple matter.

However, Kiyoshi did not ask Konan to improve her strength quickly, but to constantly consolidate her chakra foundation and improve her understanding of the changes in the nature of chakra before officially becoming a Genin of the Kirigakure.

In Qingsi's opinion, these are the correct paths for a bloodline ninja of the ninjutsu type to reach the level of Kage, or even the level of Super Kage. As for the Six Paths level, forget it, it is not a realm that ordinary ninjas or bloodline ninjas can touch. In the ninja world, bloodline is a necessary prerequisite to achieve the Six Paths level.

For ordinary ninjas or bloodline ninjas, the ultimate strength of the Kage level is basically their ceiling. However, with the help of Kiyoshi, and Kiyoshi's confidence, he trained Konan into a super Kage-level strongman.

Therefore, although Konan at this time has long surpassed ordinary jonin in terms of chakra volume, her overall strength has only reached the level of chunin. However, similar to Nagato's situation, once Konan has fully mastered the various changes in the properties of paper escape and begins to formally develop ninjutsu, her strength will naturally enter a period of rapid growth. In a short period of time, we can expect her to become a jonin or even an elite jonin.
