Starting from the root of Konoha, he was the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 115 Steel Escape?! (Subscribe for monthly tickets)

Outside the Ninja School.

Xingxia Xiushang folded his arms over his chest, leaned against a tree and waited quietly.

Today is the day that Shengshu applies for early graduation.

Tsunade is not here, so as the brother-in-law who has been recognized by Nawaki, of course he has to come.

After waiting for about half an hour, Shengshu came out of the school with a proud look on his face.

Judging from his expression, he must have passed.

The star show is no surprise.

There was absolutely no problem with Sheng Shu's basics, and he had trained him for a month.

Excluding the factor of mission experience, in terms of the ninjutsu mastered, ordinary Chunins cannot compare.

After all, there are A-level ninjutsu like Rasengan.

"Brother Xiu!"

Nawaki came in front of Xingxia Xiu and excitedly pointed at the forehead protector he was wearing: "From now on, I am also a ninja!"

Xingxiaxiu nodded: "He's a man now."

"Hey, this is my graduation gift to you."

Xingxia Xiu took off the short sword hanging on his waist: "This is a chakra sword. It has good chakra flow. It can also perform ninjutsu while carrying chakra."

Although he developed a dual-sword style, he used it relatively seldom. He usually used the tree-world descending mode with one hand holding a seal and the other a sword.

Rope Tree was not polite at all and took the chakra knife with both hands: "Thank you, Brother Xiu."

"Let's go and practice your swordsmanship."

Show the way under the stars.

Sheng Shu's face suddenly turned bitter. He was already a little afraid of Xing Xiaxiu.

The training was really crazy, although he also practiced very hard himself.

But that is something that I am particularly interested in.

But Shengshu didn't dare to resist and could only follow obediently.

……

root base.

In the office, Xingxia Xiu put his hands together, and chakra surged in his palms.

This is the Wood clone, trying to practice the changes in the nature of Thunder Escape.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Xing Xiaxiu opened his eyes, put down his hands and said, "Come in."

Shimura Daichi pushed the door open and walked in: "A, front-line intelligence."

Xingxia Xiu reached out to take it and read it carefully.

The chaos in the Rain Country is still going on. The power of the Rain Village is constantly being drawn from the River Country. Even though they are fighting one against three, they are still able to fight effectively.

The intelligence mentioned that Hanzo's salamander poison caused great headaches for the ninjas of the three major ninja villages.

The Iwagakure ninja suffered heavy casualties in particular.

On the contrary, Konoha and Sand Village, one has Tsunade and the other has Chiyo.

In addition, there is information about Yakushi Nono.

As a medical ninja, Yakushi Nono also appeared in the Land of Rain.

Shimura Daichi asked: "A, when do you think the Sand Village will send troops to the River Country?"

Xingxia Xiu said without hesitation: "After the Daimyo of the River Country died."

"He will probably die from the poison of the salamander."

Shimura Daichi thought for a moment and nodded, then asked doubtfully, "The village has been increasing its forces to go to the Land of Rain. With your strength, if you go to the battlefield, you should be able to change the situation immediately, right?"

"But neither Danzo-sama nor the Third Hokage-sama seems to have such an intention."

Xingxia Xiu glanced at Shimura Daichi and said calmly, "Because I have a more important mission."

With that, he put down the information and turned to inquiring about the recent status of Root ninja training.

Shimura Daichi reported one by one.

After understanding, Xingxia Xiu took the information he had sorted out and said, "This is a few ninjutsu I selected from the database. Please select a group of suitable people based on their training and give me the list."

Daichi Shimura took the information and looked at it with some confusion.

The art of spiritualization!

Super beast fake painting!

Psychic art!

Earth listening skills!
Of the four techniques, the first two are secret techniques.

But the art of spiritual communication also includes the so-called ground listening technique... Shimura Daichi said: "Should you be able to master most of the spiritual communication techniques?"

"The key to this technique lies in the summoning beast."

"Specializing in the art of spiritual communication..."

Shimura Daichi didn't know what to say for a moment.

Xing Xiaxiu didn't explain, but just said: "Arrange it!"

Shimura Daichi nodded and left with the information.

The summoning technique was naturally for the space-time ninjutsu that he developed later.

The Earth Listening Technique was actually the same sensory ninjutsu used by Senju Tobirama, the Fourth Hokage. It was just a name that Hoshita Hide arbitrarily gave it for a nicer sound. If the Root didn't have the Flying Thunder God Technique in its collection, he would have wanted to try it out on someone.

As for the spiritualization technique, the super beast fake painting, and the earth listening technique, in addition to the super beast fake painting, Xingxia Xiu has now also created a clone to study and practice.

Among them, Xingxiaxiu has a foundation in the art of spiritualization.

That is the Yamanaka clan's mind-turning technique.

Xing Xiaxiu, who had mastered the art of mind transformation, was able to practice the art of spiritual transformation quite smoothly.

It's true that listening skills are not simple.

The wooden clone in the office continued to practice the changes in the nature of lightning escape.

……

Time flies and it is August 2nd.

In the early morning of the 18th, the new status was refreshed on time.

Current state: Iron and steel
Note: Tendons are like steel, bones are like iron.

Refresh countdown: 29 days 23:59:22
Xing Xiaxiu looked at him and raised his eyebrows, another state similar to the Iron Man.

After feeling it carefully, I found that my muscles and bones were indeed different.

Without hardening itself or using any super strength, the explosive power is greatly increased.

But how to solidify it permanently?
Or do I need Steel Release?
Xingxiaxiu frowned and thought.

Simply hardening will definitely not work, as the previous steel body failed to solidify.

And Steel Release...

"One month is not very reliable."

Xing Xiaxiu sighed secretly: "Let's give it a try."

It just so happened that he had already mastered the changes in the nature of Fire Release.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is March of the 37th year of Konoha.

On this day, information was transmitted back to Konoha.

The Daimyo of the River Country was assassinated and died from salamander poison.

Two days later, more information came back that the Sand Village had launched a large-scale attack on the River Country and had also received support from the new daimyo of the River Country.

The change in the situation was just as Xing Xiaxiu had expected.

Inside the Hokage's office.

After reading the intelligence, Sarutobi Hiruzen gave the order without any hesitation: "Send the order to the front line of Rain Country and let Danzo retreat temporarily."

He wanted to give Hanzo and the Sand Village space to fight.

A little later, Ohnoki of Iwagakure Village made the same decision after receiving the information.

Let Hanzo fight to the death with the Sand Village first.

For a time, the situation in the Rain Country changed again.

In the battle between the Sand Village and the Rain Shinobi, the Land of Rain became the main battlefield.

……

The land of rain.

Inside the cave, looking at the rain outside, Jiraiya couldn't help but say, "I really miss that guy Xiu. If he were here, we could live in a more comfortable wooden house."

Although Tsunade and Orochimaru didn't say anything, they agreed deeply.

“I don’t know when this war will end.”

Tsunade sighed.

Orochimaru said darkly, "I'm afraid it's not that easy."

"Hanzo is now going all out in the war against the Sand Village. Once he defeats the Sand Village, he will definitely attack us and the Iwagakure again."

Jiraiya said, "Orochimaru, do you think Hanzo will win?"

Orochimaru said: "Although Sunagakure can also cure the poison of the salamander, the power of Hanzo himself and the power of the rain ninja using the salamander poison on various ninja tools are different."

Tsunade nodded after hearing this. She had a say in poison. "Hanzo used the salamander to release a deadly poison. Even a specially prepared antidote pill wouldn't be able to completely eliminate it."

"The dose was too high, and it's a highly neurotoxic agent, so the onset is very rapid."

"I don't know how strong Hanzo is as an individual, but when it comes to large-scale combat, I'm afraid only Xiu can compare to him."

Orochimaru looked at the rain outside and said, "This kind of weather is perfect for Hanzo."

Jiraiya felt somewhat helpless after hearing this: "It seems we still need to be prepared to fight Hanzo."

"But for now, I can still take a break."

"Tsunade, I heard that Nawaki has graduated early. Don't you want to go back and see him?"

"And Orochimaru, you are going to take Rope Tree as your disciple."

Tsunade was a little tempted, but when she thought of Xingxia Xiu in Konoha, she shook her head and said, "The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, so forget it."

"Shengshu has just graduated, and the missions he performs are mainly D-rank."

Orochimaru smiled and said, "Let's talk about it after this war is over."

Jiraiya winked and said, "Hideo taught Rope Tree the Rasengan. Orochimaru, how come your disciple looks like someone else's?"

Orochimaru didn't mind at all: "With Hide-kun here, I believe that Rope Tree will have a good foundation."

Tsunade looked at Jiraiya with a somewhat unfriendly look: "You idiot, what weird things are you talking about again?"
