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

Chapter 198: Steady as an old dog growing up! (Subscribe for monthly tickets)

September 42th, the 9nd year of Konoha, 20:12 AM.

Xing Xiaxiu, who had returned from the parallel world, was stunned when he saw the status bar refresh.

In the past year, there has been frequent exchanges between the two worlds. Especially with the deepening of the mastery of the power of dragon veins, the timeline of the parallel world has jumped to the 46th year of Konoha, four years faster than this world.

I travel between the two worlds so frequently that I am no longer so sensitive to time.

"It seems we can't do it so frequently, or we won't be able to distinguish the priorities."

Xing Xiaxiu pinched her brows, already having an idea in mind, she calmed herself down, and then looked at the new situation.

Current status: Steady as an old dog
Note: In this state, you are like an old dog, sitting back and watching the changes in the world, motionless as a mountain.

Refresh countdown: 364 days 23:58:49
Looking at the new status, Xingxiaxiu was speechless.

The previous one was steady and cautious, and now here comes an even more steady one, which seems like he doesn't want to move at all.

Not even in the mood to take another look, Hoshita Hide teleported to Tsunade's house.

In the study, scrolls were scattered all over the floor, and Tsunade was still studying by lamplight.

Although she lost the bet, Tsunade was stimulated to work harder.

Recently, she has been so busy tackling the final challenge that she has lost interest in going to a parallel time with Xing Xiaxiu, and she is not afraid that her man may be cheating on her in a parallel world.

After all, her fighting ability is completely inadequate and she has never won a single battle.

Leaning against the door, Xingxia Xiu admired Tsunade who was studying her with a slightly frown under the light.

Tsunade like this has a unique kind of beauty that makes people intoxicated.

After a long time, a voice broke the silence: "Brother-in-law?"

Xingxia Xiu came back to his senses, and Tsunade also raised her head: "Xiu? When did you come?"

"Not long."

Xingxia Xiu first responded to Tsunade with a smile, then looked at Nawaki who was carrying something and said, "Rest?"

Sheng Shu said, "I just came back from a mission today. Brother-in-law, have you been busy recently?"

Xingxia Xiu nodded, then took the midnight snack from Shengshu and went into the study to set it up for Tsunade.

Tsunade also put down her research and wolfed down her food while listening to the two most important men to her chatting.

"Brother-in-law, we will rest tomorrow. Do you have time to guide us in our cultivation?"

Sheng Shu suddenly asked.

Xingxia Xiu asked: "Where is your team leader?"

Nawaki sighed, "Brother-in-law, we are already a Chunin team, and we don't have a leader teacher anymore."

"I see."

Xing Xiaxiu suddenly realized and quickly apologized: "Sorry, I've been too busy recently."

"Then let's come together tomorrow."

"How's the Wind Style Chakra Mode training going?"

Sheng Shu scratched his head: "This is a bit difficult, I haven't fully mastered it yet!"

"However, I have already mastered the changes in the nature of Lightning Release."

Xingxia Xiu touched his chin and smiled: "In this case, you can slowly practice the wind chakra mode, and I can teach you the lightning ninjutsu tomorrow."

"Yes, it's the unique lightning-style ninjutsu I developed."

Sheng Shu's eyes lit up and he was extremely excited: "Thank you, brother-in-law."

"Then see you tomorrow."

"Sister, I'm going to bed, bye!"

After saying that, he used the instant body technique to disappear.

Tsunade's mouth was full from eating, and she looked up at Xingxia Xiu: "What lightning ninjutsu are you going to teach Nawaki?"

Xingxia Xiu did not answer, but asked: "It was you, Tsunade, who interfered with the fact that Nawaki did not practice earth escape and water escape first, right?"

Tsunade said vaguely, "Wood Release cannot be successfully practiced by mastering Earth Release and Water Release. Even if Rope Tree has some of his grandfather's cells, the hope is not great."

"I don't want him to spend too much energy on it now."

"It's better to first explore your own talents, then it won't be too late to try Wood Release."

Just having Hashirama's cells doesn't mean you can master Wood Release, especially since Nawase's cells are not directly transplanted from Hashirama, but from White Zetsu.

However, Xingxia Xiu felt that Shengshu should have a great chance.

Especially since Nawaki has now adapted to White Zetsu cells, this has laid the foundation for further transplantation of Hashirama cells.

But Tsunade's consideration was not wrong.

So Xingxia Xiu nodded and did not interfere: "Then teach him Lightning Escape first."

"After completing the training of Lightning Release, I will try to develop Wood Release."

"He's still young anyway."

But then again, before we knew it, Shengshu is already 17 years old.

Time flies.

When Xingxia Xiu first met Sheng Shu, he was just a little kid who had not yet graduated. In the blink of an eye, seven or eight years have passed.

After Tsunade finished eating, Xingxia Xiu cleaned up the place and then forcefully helped Tsunade pick up the scrolls that were all over the floor.

"That's all for today, we'll continue tomorrow."

"There's no rush to develop ninjutsu."

Tsunade stretched reluctantly, "Okay, okay, how's the situation over there?"

Xingxia Xiu said as he packed up: "We are planning to take down the third tail, and the fourth tail has been taken down."

Tsunade nodded, then asked, "That Black Zetsu guy doesn't have any doubts, right?"

Xing Xiaxiu said meaningfully: "Seeing through it but not saying it out loud, we use him, and he also uses us."

"This guy must have a backup plan."

Tsunade frowned, "So, the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki might also have a trap?"

After Xingxia Xiu finished cleaning up, he stepped forward and grabbed Tsunade: "It may not be a trap, but it is definitely very dangerous."

"The Nine-Tails is already that powerful, and the Ten-Tails... can easily control the Nine-Tails, but the Ten-Tails may not be able to do that."

Tsunade frowned: "Is becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki the only way?"

Xingxia Xiu put his arm around Tsunade's waist and lowered his head to kiss her forehead gently: "Don't worry about that. Believe in the strength of your husband."

"Instead of worrying about this, you might as well worry about how you're going to withstand my attack later."

Tsunade's thighs couldn't help but tremble when she heard this. She felt both anxious and afraid, as well as a little embarrassed and annoyed. She reached out and twisted Xingxiaxiu's waist.

hiss!
Xing Xiaxiu sucked in a breath of cold air and said viciously, "It seems I have to increase my strength later."

After saying that, the two of them disappeared from the study.

Eight o'clock the next morning.

Tsunade was still recuperating, Hoshita Hide had already prepared breakfast, and Nawaki even came early with his two companions, Uzumaki Erika and Hinata Hui, to have breakfast.

However, Erika and Hinata Hui were very polite. Not only did they come after having breakfast, they also brought gifts.

After Hoshita Hide and Nawaki finished their breakfast, Namikaze Minato, Uzumaki Kushina, and Sarutobi Shinnosuke also arrived.

Xingxiaxiu notified them yesterday.

"Let's go!"

Leaving a breakfast to keep warm, Xingxiaxiu teleported everyone to an open place.

Looking at Minato Namikaze and others, Xingxia Xiu sighed a little.

You've all grown up!
Especially Minato Namikaze, who looked like the person who was almost identical to the image he had in his mind.

He is currently 16 years old, and just a month ago, he was officially promoted from Special Jonin to Jonin.

In addition, Uzumaki Kushina and Sarutobi Shinnosuke were also promoted to Jonin.

In comparison, Shengshu and the others were a little slower.

Of course, qualifications are incomparable.

Nawaki's talent is not bad, but it is still far inferior to the genius Minato Namikaze.

Even if the rope tree is born with five attributes.

Compared to Erika, Kushina had the benefit of being taught by Uzumaki Mito earlier, and she also had the Nine-Tails on her body.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke is Sarutobi Hiruzen's eldest son and a genius, while Hinata Hui comes from a branch family of the Hyuga clan and is of above-average talent.

Looking at Namikaze Minato and the other two, Hoshita Hide smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I last checked on your training."

"Minato, you three must attack with your strongest strength."

Namikaze Minato and the other two looked at each other, their eyes full of eagerness to try: "Understood!"

Sheng Shu and the other two stepped aside to watch the fight, all of them looking forward to it.

Although they knew that Namikaze Minato and the other two would definitely not be able to defeat Xingxia Xiu, such a battle would definitely be very exciting. Namikaze Minato and the other two were all Jonin now!
When ready.

Xingxiaxiu said: "Begin!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato Namikaze rushed forward and threw out a Flying Thunder God Kunai.

Uzumaki Kushina clasped her hands together, while Sarutobi Shinnosuke quickly formed seals with his hands.

Hoshita Hide swung a kunai with his hand, knocking away Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Kunai.

At this time, the ground beneath his feet turned into a muddy whirlpool, which was Sarutobi Shinnosuke's earth escape ninjutsu, Yomiuri Swamp.

Xing Xiaxiu soared into the air, but a number of diamond chains came whistling towards him.

At this time, Minato Namikaze rushed forward and made seals with his hands.

Xingxiaxiu looked up and saw a huge toad falling from the sky.

There are King Kong blockades all around, Minato Namikaze's summoning beast is above his head, and there is a swirling swamp below.

If it were someone else, this wave would definitely be over.

boom!
Gamabunta's huge body fell to the ground, but Xingxia Xiu appeared at the edge of the kunai and avoided the attack.

The Flying Thunder God Kunai that he used to knock away Minato Namikaze just now also had the Flying Thunder God technique.

However, the master and the disciple knew each other very well. As soon as Xingxiaxiu appeared, sharp stone pillars emerged from the ground around him and passed through the Xingxiaxiu Cave in the middle.

It is Sarutobi Shinnosuke's earth escape ninjutsu.

However, this time Xingxia Xiu did not use Flying Thunder God or Wood Flash Body.

As for Flying Thunder God, he did not bury any kunai beforehand.

As for the Wood Release Body, although Minato and the others have his Wood Release spores in their bodies, they were planted a long time ago, and it would be somewhat unfair to use them on the three of them.

So Xing Xiaxiu gave a whirlwind kick and swept his long legs, smashing all the stone pillars.

At this time, Uzumaki Kushina, wearing a golden chakra coat, appeared behind Hoshita Hide, holding a Rasengan in her hand, and at the same time, a series of diamond chains wrapped around Hoshita Hide.

"Teacher Xiu, I caught you!"

As Uzumaki Kushina spoke, the Rasengan in her hand also smashed towards Xingxia Xiu's back.

"Well done, but it's too early to speak."

Xing Xiaxiu chuckled, and brilliant lightning burst out from his body. The diamond chains crackled and broke one by one.

Turn around and punch!
boom!
The Rasengan exploded, sending Uzumaki Kushina flying backwards.

At this time, Minato Namikaze appeared behind Uzumaki Kushina, caught him and disappeared with him.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke took the opportunity to perform a combination of fire and earth ninjutsu, one earth dragon bomb and one flame bomb.

As Xingxia Xiu turned around, a high wall rose up in front of him, blocking this combination ninjutsu.

Then his body flew into the air with a bang, and his body shape instantly changed into five.

Five Escapes and a Big Continuous Bomb!
Sarutobi Shinnosuke saw his eye twitching and quickly used the clone technique.

And Namikaze Minato also appeared beside Sarutobi Shinnosuke with Uzumaki Kushina. The three of them, plus Sarutobi Shinnosuke's two clones, also performed five kinds of nature-changing ninjutsu.

Rumble!
The same ninjutsu collided, exploding with a loud roar and a variety of colors.

The three people, Shengshu, who were watching the fight, all watched with their eyes wide open.

"Great!"

"The Rasengan was blown up by a single punch!"

"This is the strength of a Jonin, too strong!"

At this time, a large number of kunai flew down from the sky, and Minato Namikaze immediately attacked with the Flying Thunder God Kunai.

What followed was a high-speed offensive confrontation, which dazzled the three people including Shengshu.

Namikaze Minato followed Hoshita Hide and kept flashing, Uzumaki Kushina's chains were flying and her attacks were powerful, while Sarutobi Shinnosuke was proficient in several kinds of nature changes and could perform ninjutsu with ease.

However, all the attacks launched by the three people in close coordination were resolved by Xingxia Xiu, without even using the Wood Release series of ninjutsu.

Similarly, Xingxia Xiu can use the five ninjutsu of wind escape, earth escape, lightning escape, water escape, and earth escape with ease, and he doesn't even need to make hand seals to use them.

This made Naoki and the other two realize that even without Wood Release, Hoshita Hide was no ordinary Jonin.

"Sister, it makes sense for me to practice other nature changes first."

"If I can cultivate other nature transformations to the same level as my brother-in-law, even if I don't master Wood Release in the future, my strength will not be bad."

Looking at Xingxia Xiu, Shengshu understood his sister Tsunade's good intentions.

Suddenly, Hide Hoshita used a soul confinement from mid-air, freezing Sarutobi Shinnosuke and causing him to lose control of his body.

Then came the Heavenly Dream Walker Technique, hypnotizing Uzumaki Kushina who was in Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.

The battle ended here. Hoshita Hide released the two's ninjutsu and said with a smile: "Minato has Flying Thunder God. Under normal circumstances, I can't do anything to him."

Minato Namikaze smiled bitterly, he knew very well that Xingxia Xiu had let him win.

Wood Release is useless.

That wooden instant body can teleport to his side without leaving the Flying Thunder God mark on him, making it impossible to defend against.

At that time, the competition will be about the speed of their nerve reactions. Whoever reacts faster will win.

Moreover, Xingxiaxiu has the first-mover advantage.

"Teacher Xiu has already mastered the Lightning Release Chakra mode, and his reaction speed should not be slower than mine. If it is a real life-and-death duel, I definitely have no chance of winning."

Namikaze Minato knew clearly in his heart: "As expected of Mr. Xiu, he has probably surpassed the first Hokage, the God of Ninja!"

At this time, Xingxia Xiu said to Uzumaki Kushina: "Kushina, don't let go of the illusion."

Uzumaki Kushina nodded in annoyance.

He was still a little upset about being knocked down by the illusion just now.

At this time, Sarutobi Shinnosuke asked: "Teacher Xiu, what was that immobilization technique just now? I couldn't break free."

Immobilization is a general term and there are many types.

The most common illusion technique is immobilization, and the Nara clan's shadow binding can also be said to be an immobilization technique.

With the ninjutsu professor Sarutobi Hiruzen as his father, Sarutobi Shinnosuke has a wide range of knowledge and is also good at immobilization techniques. He can quickly break free from most immobilization techniques.

But just now he couldn't even control his chakra.

"Soul Imprisonment Technique."

Xingxia Xiu smiled and said, "The forbidden technique developed by the second generation directly targets the mental will."

Everyone was awed after hearing this.

Xingxia Xiu explained, "This technique is actually not difficult to unlock. The key lies in the strength of your mental will and your explosive power. Don't use conventional thinking, such as trying to control chakra to force yourself free."

"As for the spirit's will to break free, well..."

After a moment of hesitation, Xing Xiaxiu became more specific: "You can try some kind of emotional outburst, such as anger."

Uzumaki Kushina couldn't help but ask: "Teacher Xiu, what should I do if I'm not angry?"

Xingxia Xiudao said, "How to use spiritual will has been learned since the ninja school, such as refining chakra."

"Concentrate your mental energy. You can imagine it as a knife or something, or give it some strong emotion, such as friendship, anger, or hatred, and then break through the cage."

Uzumaki Kushina suddenly understood and said with a smile: "Teacher Xiu, you should have explained it this way earlier."

Xing Xiaxiu snorted: "I hope you remember this, otherwise I won't be polite later."

He looked at Sarutobi Shinnosuke: "Any questions?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke shook his head: "No more, Teacher Xiu."

Xing Xiaxiu nodded: "Then let's begin today's training!"

As he spoke, he entered the sage mode. He clasped his hands together and three thick vines emerged from the ground, growing straight up until they were more than ten meters high.

Then Hide Hoshita created a thick tree and asked Sarutobi Shinnosuke to slice the trunk.

Xingxia Xiu said: "Minato, take this wooden board as a cushion, climb to the top of the tree, sit on the top of the tree without moving, and you will have completed the first step."

After hearing this, Minato Namikaze and the other two nodded in unison. Without asking any further questions, they each took a wooden board and walked towards the top of the vine tree.

Hoshishita Hide looked at Nawaki and the other two and said, "Erika, what do you want to learn from me?"

Uzumaki Erika said respectfully under Nawaki's encouraging gaze: "Master Xiu, I want to learn water jutsu."

Water escape?

Xing Xiaxiu nodded slightly: "No problem."

Erika's chakra attributes are naturally water, earth, yin and yang. She learned medical ninjutsu from Tsunade, and it seems that she learned the illusion of Yin escape from Nawaki.

The remaining Shuitu chose water escape.

"Hui, what do you want to learn?"

Xingxia Xiu looked at Hinata Hui again.

The name sounds like a girl, but it's actually a boy.
