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

Chapter 239 Storm Escape, Defection!
As Xuanyi goes to school, the strictness of Hoshita Hide and Tsunade grows visibly.

Play is play, make noise is noise, but learning never stops.

In addition to school courses, Xingxia Xuanyi also has to start practicing water escape.

As for being too young, he doesn't have much chakra.

This is not a problem for Xuanyi at all.

At such a young age, his chakra capacity is comparable to Tsunade's.

Although Tsunade's normal chakra level does not reach the level of the tailed beasts, she is definitely the most powerful among the tailed beasts.

And Xuanyi is only 5 years old.

Xuanyi enrolled in school, but Uchiha Itachi graduated and then entered the Root to continue his studies.

The one who taught him was still Xingxia Xiu, but it was replaced by his clone.

Not long after, Uchiha Shisui was also transferred into the Root by Hoshita Hide, together with Uchiha Itachi.

At present, among the entire Uchiha clan, Xingxia Xiu is most optimistic about these two people.

Uchiha Shisui is good at hitting wherever he points, while Uchiha Itachi is good at doing all kinds of dirty and tiring work.

He will be Konoha's best fighter in the future.

Before I knew it, another year had passed.

In the study, Xing Xiaxiu couldn't help but sigh slightly.

It is too difficult to control the reincarnated chakras of Indra and Ashura.

"It seems this road is not going well."

Xingxia Xiu frowned and lowered the priority of this matter.

Even if you have a clone to practice, many things still require the original body.

He is also unable to handle everything.

Speaking of which, it has been more than ten years since he obtained Uchiha Madara's eyes.

He got up and walked out of the study and into the yard.

The winter sun feels very warm on my body.

Kushina was playing in the yard with Yakushi and Menma.

In the lake on the side, Xuan Yi was standing on the water surface, controlling the water flow like a snake, and he was practicing water escape.

When the two children saw their father, they immediately ran over, each holding one of his legs, and asked Xingxiaxiu to take them skiing.

It is January now and the ground is covered with snow.

“Okay, let’s go skiing!”

Xingxia Xiu held one in each hand and took the two little ones out, and Uzumaki Kushina followed helplessly behind.

For children, as long as it is reasonable, Xingxiaxiu will almost always meet their requests.

However, Xuan Yi, who was treading water on the other side of the lake, could only watch helplessly.

In the past, he could also go and play, but now he no longer has a chance.

Now Xuanyi is most afraid of his father Xingxiaxiu, who is too strict during training and leaves no room for negotiation.

Of course, apart from cultivation, Xing Xia Xiu is undoubtedly the best father who will respond to any request.

So, it makes people love and fear it.

Mom and two aunts are still the best.

Retracting his gaze, Xuanyi continued his practice.

He concentrated his mind, controlling two snake-like streams of water to swim in the lake, while condensing a third one.

This is not only about training the changes in the nature of water jutsu, but also the ability to control chakra.

It is also a test of spiritual will.

Because such control is extremely mentally taxing.

Of course, this is also a training method specially formulated by Xingxia Xiu, which is suitable for people with high chakra.

When Xingxiaxiu came back, Xuanyi was so tired that he was sitting aside and sticking out his tongue.

Seeing his father coming back, Xuan Yi's eyes lit up and he quickly stood up and walked forward: "Dad, I can now control three streams of water at the same time."

Xingxia Xiu was very satisfied with what he heard, and nodded with a smile: "Well, what ninjutsu do you want to learn?"

Xuan Yi had already prepared this: "Shadow Clone Technique!"

"I want to learn the Shadow Clone Technique!"

He knew that his father often used shadow clones to practice.

If he masters this technique, he can use his clones to practice and go out to play by himself.

Xingxia Xiu saw through his son's thoughts at a glance, but did not say anything. Instead, he taught his son the Shadow Clone Technique as agreed.

Xuanyi had already mastered the most basic Three Body Techniques a long time ago, and he also had a solid grasp of the basics of seals.

The seal of the Shadow Clone Technique was very simple. After memorizing the order of the seals and the key points taught by Xingxia Xiu, Xuanyi simply practiced it a few times by himself before performing it.

After secretly glancing at his father who was being ridden like a horse by his younger brothers and sisters, Xuan Yi left his clone behind while his real body sneaked out.

In the hall, Xing Xiaxiu took a glance and realized that the son outside was just a clone.

But he didn't reveal it either.

Strictness is necessary, but there must be a limit.

He didn't want his relationship with his child to be too tense and then be provoked.

……

As soon as Xuanyi left home, he was like a bird out of a cage, and he immediately found his playmates such as Ningci and Tenten.

These little guys are now gathering together to play in the snow.

"Xuan Yi, why are you here?"

Tiantian was very surprised to see Xuanyi and teased, "Could he have come here secretly without telling Master Xiu?"

"Don't go back and get punished!"

Xuan Yi raised his chin immediately after hearing this: "Absolutely impossible."

The shadow clone is a physical clone and it is impossible to be detected.

Neji looked at Xuanyi and asked, "You didn't use a shadow clone, did you?"

Xuan Yi's face froze.

Tiantian opened his eyes wide and asked in surprise: "Xuanyi, when did you master the shadow clone technique?"

Xuan Yi said proudly: "Just now."

"It took me less than a quarter of an hour to learn it."

Neji said darkly, "Xuanyi, Shadow clones are physical clones. Even with the Byakugan, they can't be distinguished, but you don't think Teacher Xiu can't see through them, right?"

Xuan Yi's forehead suddenly broke out in sweat: "No... Impossible?"

Tiantian couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh when she saw Xuanyi like this.

However, Xuanyi suddenly reacted: "Ningji, I was almost scared by you."

"Hehe, even if I was discovered, I didn't delay my training!"

"Okay, let's go play!"

If you don't play now, there won't be much time left.

……

On the other side, Yakushi Nono returned home, and Hoshita Hide broke away and worked in the kitchen with Kushina.

By five o'clock, Tsunade also came back.

"So early today?"

There is something strange about the show under the stars.

Tsunade slumped on the sofa: "The old man is planning to retire."

Xingxia Xiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "You are no different from the Hokage now."

Tsunade glanced at her man and snorted, "Aren't you taking it too easy?"

Xing Xiaxiu looked aggrieved when she heard this: "I am responsible for taking care of the children."

Tsunade curled her lips and asked, "How's the Akatsuki organization doing?"

Xingxia Xiu came to sit next to Tsunade and said while massaging her legs: "You should know a lot, right?"

"Now both the Iwagakure and the Sandagakure villages will hire them."

"By the way, Akatsuki recently gained a new member, Scorpion of the Red Sand."

Tsunade raised an eyebrow, "Red Sand Scorpion?"

"The genius puppeteer who stole the Third Kazekage's body, the grandson of the Fourth Kazekage?"

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "This guy made a puppet of the Third Kazekage's corpse."

"What a lunatic."

After making a comment, Tsunade said, "The old man planned to have Orochimaru leave the village and join the Akatsuki organization before he retired."

Xing Xiaxiu nodded: "It is suitable."

"Konoha is indeed not suitable for Orochimaru. To him, the value of this place has been almost fully utilized, and it has become more of a restriction."

Tsunade frowned slightly, "Is your plan too dangerous?"

"You have to know that Orochimaru is totally uncontrollable."

Xingxia Xiu smiled and said: "Don't worry, I don't want to control Orochimaru, he is just a part of the plan."

"The Ten-Tails Jinchuriki has a trap, so I need someone to take on this trap."

"Uchiha Madara is the best choice."

Tsunade felt a headache. Actively resurrecting Uchiha Madara was too hard to accept.

If this plan had not been proposed by Xingxia Xiu, Tsunade would never have agreed to it.

But even so, she had deep worries in her heart.

Seeing Tsunade's expression, Hoshita Hide smoothed her brows and whispered in her ear: "My Samsara Eye is about to open. I will first use the Outer Path Demon Statue in the parallel world to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki. Even if there are traps, the two worlds are isolated and it is very safe."

Tsunade was slightly surprised when she heard this: "It's almost open? How long will it take?"

Xing Xiaxiu thought for a moment and said, "Probably within this year."

After the Chinese New Year, the movement of his eyes became more intense, and he could feel that the speed at which the Rinnegan opened had increased.

It is now the 54th year of Konoha.

Come to think of it, it’s been almost 14 years!
Back then, Black Zetsu said that it would take at most ten years to open the Rinnegan, but that was not accurate at all.

Of course, this may also be related to the fact that Xingxia Xiu did not always wear Uchiha Madara's glasses.

But no matter what, the Rinnegan is finally about to open.

I am looking forward to the show under the stars.

Tsunade felt much more relieved.

With the Rinnegan, even if Uchiha Madara is resurrected, he should not be able to cause much trouble.

Once Hoshita Hide becomes the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, we will not be afraid even if Uchiha Madara also becomes the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

As for Kaguya Otsutsuki.

This was Tsunade's only concern.

Therefore, he also pays more and more attention to the cultivation of talents in the village.

For example, the forbidden physical technique of Eight Gates Ninjutsu has been practiced by selected candidates several times.

Geniuses like Kakashi and Asuma Sarutobi have all practiced this technique.

Unfortunately, although effort in this area is extremely important, it actually also requires a certain amount of talent.

In other words, the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu is not suitable for everyone.

Kakashi and the others are obviously more suitable for the conventional ninja path.

As they were talking, the sound of ropes and trees was heard outside.

Xingxia Xiu smiled and said, "This kid has mastered Wood Release."

Tsunade couldn't help but stand up after hearing this: "Really?"

of course it's true.

Nawaki is also a student of Hoshita Hide, and he was the one who taught him Wood Release.

However, Nawaki's Wood Release is only slightly stronger than Yamato's, and the improvement it brings to him is negligible.

Moreover, Xingxia Xiu kept it a secret because he wanted to give Tsunade a surprise.

"Sister, brother-in-law, I have finally completed my Wood Release training!"

Sheng Shu rushed in and announced loudly.

Xingxiaxiu smiled and said, "Congratulations, Shengshu!"

Tsunade looked at her brother and quickly said, "Show me."

Rope Tree nodded, raised his right hand, and vines emerged from his hand.

Tsunade looked on, almost crying with joy, "Well done!"

Shengshu scratched his head and grinned foolishly.

Xingxia Xiu said: "Go and call Erika to come and celebrate together."

Shengshu nodded quickly, then turned and left.

Tsunade watched her brother leave, and suddenly said with emotion: "Nawaki has finally grown up."

Xingxia Xiu put his arm around Tsunade's waist and said, "Nawoki will soon be a father, don't worry!"

Erika is also pregnant.

Speaking of which, Sheng Shu is almost 30 years old.

time flies.

In the evening, the whole family gathered together to celebrate, and it was very lively.

After dinner, Xingxia Xiu and Shengshu went out for a walk together.

"Nawaki, the strength of Wood Release doesn't lie in the Kekkei Genkai itself, but in the person who uses it."

Xingxia Xiu said slowly: "You have the blood of the Senju clan. The Senju clan inherited the immortal body of the Six Paths Sage and are born with powerful Yang escape power."

“Of course, not everyone can develop it.”

"The most special one is the first generation."

Sheng Shu smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, I know that I will never give up the development of my physical strength."

"I don't expect to reach my grandfather's level, but I want to at least reach my second grandfather's level."

In terms of chakra volume, he has surpassed Tsunade and reached the level of a tailed beast.

But the tailed beasts are also different from each other.

The rope tree can only be compared with one tail at most.

"Brother-in-law, which direction do you think my next practice should go?"

Rope Tree asked.

Wood Release has been mastered, and the next step is to master those Wood Release ninjutsu step by step.

But it is enough to let the clone do these things.

Xingxia Xiu thought for a moment and said, "Let's try other bloodline limits!"

"For example, Storm Release."

Speaking of his strengths, Nawaki was initially good at Wind Style, then Water Style, Earth Style, and finally Lightning Style.

"Or ice escape is also possible."

Xingxia Xiu smiled and said, "I have mastered Ice Escape and can teach it to you."

Sheng Shu nodded after hearing this.

Suddenly, Xingxiaxiu stopped.

Sheng Shu also stopped quickly: "What's wrong?"

Xingxia Xiu smiled and said, "Kakashi has made great progress!"

Nawaki was surprised: "Kakashi, could it be..."

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "He has mastered Storm Release!"

This can be considered a double blessing.

In particular, Kakashi's mastery of Storm Release can be reflected in Hoshita Hide.

Let Xingxia Xiu master Storm Release directly without having to spend time to integrate it.

I have to say, Kakashi's talent is really top-notch.

With someone's guidance, he completed the fusion of Storm Release even faster than his teacher Xingxia Xiu.

But Xing Xiaxiu is not jealous at all.

The more disciples and students like this, the better!

"It seems we really can't slack off at all!"

Shengshu sighed.

……

Late night
Lying on the bed, Xingxia Xiu pinched the tip of the bamboo shoot while talking to Tsunade about Kakashi's breakthrough, and then said with a little emotion: "I don't know whether it is good or bad to let Minato become the Zero-tail Jinchuriki."

There is no doubt about Minato Namikaze's talent, but Kakashi has now mastered Storm Release, but Minato has not made any moves in all these years.

Hide Hoshita suspected that Zero Tail was restricting Minato Namikaze.

It’s not that Minato Namikaze couldn’t suppress Zero Tail, but he was affected.

Rather, it was likely that Minato spent too much time with Zero Tail.

Tsunade slapped Hoshita Hide's hand away and said, "If Minato can fully master the power of the Zero Tail, then even without a bloodline limit, the Flying Thunder God and Rasengan ninjutsu alone will be enough to make his combat power soar."

Xingxia Xiu nodded and reached out to feel the grass while saying: "Zero Tail is not as powerful as other tailed beasts, but it also has the characteristics of tailed beasts."

"Dark Chakra... In this world, darkness cannot disappear."

Tsunade's breathing became increasingly heavy and rapid, "However, it is more difficult to completely subdue the dark collective."

"Although the nine tailed beasts are dangerous, they are also very intelligent."

"Impressing them is actually easier than conquering Zero Tail."

Xingxia Xiu turned over and bit the tip of the bamboo shoot, and said vaguely: "I believe Minato can..."

Tsunade reached out and grabbed the dragon.

Silent all night.

The show under the stars continues as planned.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen started his planned plan.

Only three days have passed.

A piece of news that shocked the entire Konoha spread: Orochimaru had defected!

soon.

Jiraiya, who was originally wandering outside, returned to Konoha and began to track Orochimaru.

However, Konoha issued a wanted order, designating Orochimaru as an S-rank rebel ninja.
