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

Chapter 58 Sleepwalking, a new technique! (Subscribe for monthly tickets)

Danzo's ambition is burning, and Xingxia Xiu's ambition is also burning.

Kyuubi!
What a great power bank!

Although his chakra volume is now quite huge due to Hashirama's cells.

But who would complain about having too much chakra?

What's more, Xingxia Xiu felt that the amount of his chakra was only very large compared to that of an ordinary ninja.

If compared with those who cheat, it's just so-so.

At least, his chakra cannot be compared with the Nine-Tails.

Even half a nine-tailed fox wouldn't do.

I guess it can only be compared with Yiwei.

Judging from the current situation, Xingxia Xiu estimated that he might play a role similar to Yamato.

"Uzumaki Kushina!"

Countless thoughts flashed through Xingxiaxiu's mind in an instant, including some evil ones.

For example, should we take advantage of the opportunity to capture Uzumaki Kushina?

But now Uzumaki Kushina is still a ten-year-old girl.

It's a bit abnormal to be thinking about others now.

Xingxia Xiu admitted that he would do anything to become powerful, but... he still preferred Tsunade.

Or.

Tsunade is more suitable and can help him climb up!

"If you want the Nine-Tails, you don't have to capture Uzumaki Kushina..."

Hoshita Hide then thought of Namikaze Minato again.

This guy should have graduated early, right?

Has he been accepted as Jiraiya's disciple?
Thinking about this, Xingxia Xiu returned to his residence unknowingly.

Collecting his thoughts, he took out the scroll of Wood Release secret technique and then locked his eyes on one of the Wood Release ninjutsu.

Enter the temple and lower your hands!

This is a ninjutsu specifically used to suppress the tailed beasts.

As far as Xingxia Xiu knew, only two people had used it.

Founder: Hashirama Senju.

Civil Engineer Yamato.

Different people will get completely different results when using it.

Hashirama Senju used the True Thousand Hands to capture the Complete Nine-Tails controlled by Uchiha Madara with one hand.

Yamato was able to suppress the out-of-control Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Naruto, but his ability was limited.

The only ones that can maintain absolute suppression are those with four tails.

"The core principle of using Wood Release to suppress the tailed beasts is actually that Wood Release absorbs the tailed beasts' chakra as life force to strengthen the technique itself."

"That is, using the power of the tailed beasts to suppress the tailed beasts..."

Xingxia Xiu carefully pondered the core points of this technique.

It can be said that the tailed beasts are controlled by the tailed beasts.

But there are also limitations, which are closely related to the strength of the caster himself.

"The ability to control chakra, the ability to control wood escape..."

Xingxiaxiu seemed to be lost in thought.

Everyone has different tolerance levels, and absorbing the tailed beast's chakra is not unlimited. If you absorb too much, you will lose control.

In other words... die of stuffing!
Hashirama Senju's chakra level is at the Nine-Tails level, so of course he can control it with one hand.

As for Yamato, the power of Wood Release is only 20% of Hashirama Senju's, and his ability to withstand it is limited.

"If it were me, after mastering this technique, I could probably withstand it... Seven tails might be the limit, and that's even in the Jinchūriki state."

"Unless I master the senjutsu and use the Myojinmon, I will be able to suppress the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki who has completely transformed into a tailed beast."

Of course, all of this is just speculation made by Xingxia Xiu based on his current knowledge. As for the specific details, I’m afraid we can only know it after seeing the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox with our own eyes.

"Kyuubi..."

Xingxia Xiu couldn't help licking his lips.

The Nine-Tails is the tailed beast closest to the Ten-Tails, and its chakra nature is also close to that of the Ten-Tails.

Studying the Nine-Tails Chakra would be of great benefit to his further development and mastery of Wood Release.

Hoshita Hide can now use Wood Release to absorb other people's chakra to strengthen Wood Release itself, and even use the enemy's chakra as vitality to restore his own physical strength.

But he still can't transfer the absorbed power to others like White Zetsu can.

But the power of the Nine-Tails can be harmonized to suit any ninja.

This is similar to how White Zetsu replenishes chakra for others.

Xingxia Xiu speculated that this was all related to the Ten-Tails.

Although White Zetsu was also cultured from Hashirama's cells, he is special because he utilizes the Rinnegan and the Outer Path Demon Statue.

The Outer Path Demon Statue is the shell of the Ten-Tails.

The Nine-Tails is part of the Ten-Tails' chakra.

After putting away the scroll, Xingxia Xiu created a wooden clone to practice the technique of Kuoan Ruyu Chuishu.

For Xingxia Xiu, who has already mastered the use of wood escape to absorb chakra, it is not difficult to master this technique.

So, just let the clone go and practice.

As for the real body, Xingxia Xiu continued to research and develop hypnotic illusions.

He wanted to fix the state of [Hypnotist].

This ability, in terms of hypnosis, is probably comparable to the Mangekyō Sharingan. Through eye contact, voice, and gestures, one can hypnotize the enemy without even realizing it.

Its uses are more than just obtaining intelligence. In a life-and-death battle, even a moment of absent-mindedness can determine life or death.

It is just to develop a hypnotic illusion, and it has to be different from the Nirvana Hermitage technique that Xingxia Xiu has already mastered, so the difficulty is quite great.

Before we knew it, it was evening.

Xingxia Xiu pinched his brows and said, "Developing a high-level ninjutsu is really not easy..."

After thinking for a while, he got up and changed into his regular clothes, then left the Root base, walked through the bustling streets of Konoha, and came to Konoha Hospital.

I haven't seen Yakushi Nono for several days. As the captain, he should care about his subordinates.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Xingxiaxiu paused and heard a familiar voice.

He then came to the door of a ward and looked inside, only to see Tsunade frowning as she looked at a document. "There are many cases of sleepwalking, but this is the first time I've seen it in the ninja community... let alone someone killing someone while sleepwalking."

"Are you sure you're not under the control of an illusion?"

The male doctor opposite Tsunade said, "Lady Tsunade, this has been verified through many aspects and there is no sign of being controlled by the genjutsu."

"Because the patient will wake up once we try to control him during a sleepwalking episode, we have no way of obtaining the patient's physical data during the sleepwalking episode."

"And looking at the test data at other times, there's nothing unusual."

"So, right now we can't tell whether this is a physiological or mental problem."

Tsunade pondered: "This is indeed a difficult problem..."

"But since there's no way to conduct real-time physiological monitoring, we'll first collect blood samples and other samples from him when he becomes ill for testing."

"Also, I will ask the Yamanaka clan for help. The next time I get sick..."

Outside the door, Xingxia Xiu was listening to the conversation in the ward, but was suddenly stunned.

Sleepwalking!

Sleepwalking and killing!
Cao Cao’s “I like to kill people in my dreams”?
Xingxiaxiu narrowed her eyes and an idea suddenly appeared in her mind.

Swish!
The figure disappeared from the spot, leaving only a stream of air spinning.

Tsunade in the room noticed something and looked up at the door.

……

Xingxia Xiu returned to the root base, immediately took out a blank scroll, picked up his pen and wrote quickly, making rapid progress.

Silent all night.

At five o'clock the next morning, Xing Xiaxiu, who had only slept for three hours, went out for morning training in high spirits.

Even during morning training, his brain was working at full capacity, thinking of new techniques.

After breakfast, Hoshita Hide summoned Inuzuka Ryo and Aburame Ryoma to the training ground.

"Three Heads, you should be familiar with the illusion technique of Nirvana Abode, right?"

Xingxia Xiu asked.

Inuzuka Ling nodded: "It's an A-level illusion, not easy to perform. It can hypnotize a group of people, but if you are vigilant, it's not difficult to resist."

Xingxiaxiu nodded.

But then again, as ninjas, especially assassination organizations like the Root, surprise attacks and sneak attacks are the best options.

Even in a head-on battle, one should make his ninjutsu sudden and unpredictable.

In real ninja battles, they won't shout out the names of ninjutsu.

"Today we will train our resistance to illusions."

Xing Xiaxiu looked at the two of them: "This is based on the premise that I have been reminded, and the difficulty has been reduced a lot."

Inuzuka Ryo and Aburame Ryoma were startled when they heard this, and immediately became serious and tense.

Xingxia Xiu said no more, raised his hand and shot out several shurikens, then quickly formed seals with his hands.

Illusion-Nirvana Monastery!

Inuzuka Ryo and Aburame Ryoma, who had just avoided the shuriken, saw feathers falling all over the sky, and their brains seemed to be drowsy.

Wang Wang!

The ninja dog Black Ball barked wildly, and Inuzuka Ling woke up instantly.

Ryoma Aburame next to him was not affected by Hoshita Hide's illusion at all because of the parasitic insects in his body.

Xingxia Xiu raised his eyebrows. Inuzuka Ryo and Aburame Ryoma are both special secret technique ninjas. Their methods of fighting against illusions are very special. Ordinary illusions really can't affect them.

Especially Ryoma Aburame, who has a large number of parasites in his body.

"Nirvana Monastery's hypnosis accuracy is still a little lacking..."

Hoshita Hide thought about it and moved suddenly, attacking Inuzuka Ryo and Aburame Ryoma.

The three of them fought in close combat, and after a few moves, Aburame Ryoma was the first to be kicked away by Hoshita Hide. His body rolled on the ground for several times, and he staggered as soon as he jumped up. His eyelids became heavy, and the fatigue of his body invaded his brain, telling it that it was time to rest.

However, because of the parasite, Aburame Ryoma soon woke up with a start.

But deep down, he was shocked: "When did the captain use illusion again? He didn't even notice the hand seals."

This suddenly reminded him of the interrogation of Iwagakure by Xingxia Xiu before, which was clearly a form of hypnosis.

"There was no hand seal, but just now... the moment you made eye contact with the captain, you were hypnotized?"

Aburame Ryoma guessed, and then saw Inuzuka Ryo and the ninja dog Black Ball fly out one after another.

Then Aburame Ryoma saw that Inuzuka Ryo and Kurokuma had just turned over, but their bodies became stiff and their eyes closed, as if they had fallen into a deep sleep.

Hypnotized!

Aburame Ryoma's eyelids twitched, because he saw that Inuzuka Ling and Heiqiu soon opened their eyes again, but their eyes were dull and their bodies were slightly stiff as they took two steps forward.

Then... under his shocked gaze, the man and the dog suddenly moved, recovered from their stiff state, jumped up, and spun in the air.

Teeth to teeth!

Rumble!
Aburame Ryoma dodged the attack and looked at the billowing smoke and dust, shocked: "Is this hypnosis, and then being controlled like a puppet?"
