"Yes."

Hoshino nodded in acknowledgment, saying, "Lady Tsunade should know about the Cloud Ninja's Lightning Release Chakra Mode, right?"

Tsunade nodded: "Of course. The Cloud Ninja's Lightning Release is based on this chakra pattern, which should also be the most powerful Lightning Release and taijutsu in the ninja world."

"So, you want to use the Hundred Healings Technique to train your Fire Release Chakra Mode, because Fire Release is your specialty."

"Furthermore, fire-style techniques are more difficult to control than lightning-style techniques."

Hoshino nodded: "Indeed, although my chakra control is very strong, my own chakra is far from enough, which is why I practiced the Yin Seal."

"Now that we have the Hundred Healings Technique, it will be much easier to develop Fire Release Chakra Mode."

"And it's not just Fire Release Chakra Mode; with the Hundred Healings Technique, the difficulty of developing any chakra mode will be reduced."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade couldn't help but say, "Your chakra reserves for your age are already quite large, at least much larger than mine were back then. Only Jiraiya could match that level."

Then she frowned slightly: "But aren't you in too much of a hurry?"

"I heard from Nono and Asuka that you don't have a single day off or any entertainment."

Hoshita Shuichi helplessly spread his hands: "Lady Tsunade is aware of my conflict with Danzo. If I'm not strong enough, he might just take care of me at any time."

"Even without him, the ninja world is still in danger. Right now, all the major ninja villages are expanding their military, Iwagakure is making moves, Kumogakure is collecting secret techniques everywhere, and Sunagakure is also working hard to increase its finances."

"Shouldn't Lady Tsunade understand what these signs mean?"

"I don't want to die in the war. I'm not even 10 years old yet, and there are so many things I haven't experienced!"

Tsunade listened in silence, then waved her hand listlessly, turned around and grabbed a bottle of wine to drink by herself.

Hoshino Hideichi sighed, offered no words of advice, silently packed his things, and quietly left.

……

Strolling down the street, Hoshino Shuichi pondered what to do next.

The Hundred Healings Technique was developed without using "a flash of inspiration," so this year's "flash of inspiration" needs a purpose.

"Then let's use Fire Release: Chakra Mode!"

Hoshita Shuichi made the final decision.

Fire Release Chakra Mode can also be used for both offense and defense.

With the temperature of his fire-style technique, ordinary kunai or similar hidden weapons could melt instantly.

The things to watch out for are hidden weapons with wind and lightning release techniques.

For example, Killer Bee's sword, and the Sand Village's hidden weapons imbued with Wind Release techniques.

Especially Danzo!

The last time I fought against Danzo's shadow clone, this old guy's Wind Release was no worse than his.

No, I should say he's more experienced and shrewd!

Therefore, apart from his teacher Minato Namikaze, Shuichi Hoshino did not pass on the Wind Release: Rasengan technique to anyone other than his teacher, Minato Namikaze, nor did he teach it to the village.

……

Instead of going home, Hoshino Shuichi went to the Akimichi family's barbecue restaurant to order food.

Upon hearing the order quantity, the shop assistant's jaw dropped: "Shuichi, really... really this much? For every meal?"

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "That's right, for now, we'll book three days' worth of meals each."

The shop assistant swallowed hard, then nodded: "Okay, don't worry, it will definitely be delivered to your home on time!"

Hoshita Hideichi smiled and nodded, "Then I'll have to trouble you!"

As he spoke, he left another one million taels as a deposit.

He originally planned to eat soldier's ration pills, but they tasted terrible.

He'll just spend some money on good food then. He's not short of money anyway, since he doesn't have to pay for anything at the experimental base.

The reason he spent so much money was because he needed to accumulate chakra quickly.

He figured out his digestive abilities through the competitive eating contest, and now he can definitely put them to use.

After ordering the food, Hoshita Shuichi went home and took a bath, thinking about the problems that should be solved first after the fire escape chakra mode.

He had to be prepared for the Fire Release Chakra Mode to be completed before the "flash of inspiration" was fully used up.

"Wind in a Flash..."

"Furthermore, Wind Release can be combined with Fire Release to make Lotus Steps even more powerful."

"Combining Wind Release and Fire Release can actually enhance the control over both, just like Pakura's Fire Release. This can be considered as preliminary exploration for developing bloodline limits."

"There's still space-time ninjutsu, one more is needed..."

The art of spirit communication, the sealing scroll technique, the spirit talisman, and the technique of multiplying explosive talismans.

Thinking about space-time ninjutsu, Hoshino Shuichi couldn't help but scratch his head. He didn't have a clear direction if he wanted to develop it himself.

Or I should just learn the Flying Thunder God Technique directly after mastering the [Instantaneous Movement Expert] skill.

Flying Thunder God Technique is difficult, but with so many talents he has accumulated, it shouldn't be something he can't master.

Whoosh!

After finishing his bath, Hoshino Shuichi dressed and took out the Genjutsu Analysis book given to him by Uchiha Shisui, pondering it for a moment. Then, the Akimichi clan's food delivery arrived.

Various meats and fruit salads filled the entire living room.

Hoshino Shuichi brewed another large tub of tea before starting his gluttonous eating spree.

After eating three meals a day for three days, the yin seal on my forehead was finally filled in.

There are still three days until the New Year.

Inside the courtyard.

Standing in the snow, under the stars, Xiuyi lowered her eyes.

The next moment, the Hundred Healings Technique was activated, the Eight Trigrams Seal was opened, the Yin Seal was opened, and a massive amount of chakra poured out like a flood.

In an instant, Hoshino Shizuka was enveloped in blue chakra.

Inside the kitchen, Asuka, who was making soldier rations, said worriedly, "Nonou-neechan, hasn't Shuichi been going a bit too crazy these past few days?"

Yakushi Nonou looked up at Hoshita Shuichi in the courtyard and smiled softly, "Trust Shuichi, he can do it."

"All we need to do is support him."

Asuka nodded, then lowered her head and went about her business.

This is a new flavor specially developed for Shuichi Hoshino, a highly concentrated soldier ration pill with twice the energy of a regular soldier ration pill.

Inside the courtyard, Hoshino Shizuka had already focused all his attention on the task at hand, completely absorbed, and then a "flash of inspiration" occurred.

Comprehension max, groundbreaking max!

Snapped!

Putting his hands together, Hoshita Shuichi used all his strength to change his nature.

The next moment, his entire body was engulfed in orange-red flames.

But at this moment, it felt as if he were standing in a huge ball of orange-red flames, with the surrounding snow melting rapidly and the ground drying up quickly.

However, with Hoshita Shuichi's control, the flames continued to shrink, and finally stuck to the body, with clusters of flames swaying in the wind.

Only at this moment does it resemble Naruto's Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and Rōshi's Lava Release Mode.

It is more refined than the Lightning Release chakra mode displayed by the future Fourth Raikage, A.

This is also because Hoshino Shuichi has strong chakra control and the ability to change fire-style forms, which enabled him to do so quickly.

At this moment, Hoshino Shuichi looked as if he was wearing a robe of flames, with his hair and eyebrows swaying with the flames.

It seems that he has already completed this step, and he is now indeed wearing a fire-style cloak.

But for Hoshita Shuichi, it wasn't enough.

This fire-resistant coat isn't protective enough, or rather, its temperature isn't high enough.

The defense of Fire Release Chakra Mode relies on temperature; it must be able to melt steel instantly.

Therefore, after completing the initial shaping, Hoshino Shuichi continued to undergo a deeper change in nature.

As a result, the orange-red flames that were originally dancing on his body quickly turned into a blazing white color.

"This shouldn't be my limit!"

Hoshita Shuichi lowered his eyes and continued.

A minute later, the white flames on his body began to gradually turn pale blue.

The blue flames were a high-temperature flame that he had been unable to produce in one go before.

Five minutes later, Hoshino Shuichi's chakra suddenly erupted, and the white flames on his body turned completely blue.

His entire body was covered in blue flames, except for the Yin Seal mark in the middle of his forehead, which appeared white due to its unusual brightness.

Before he could even feel happy, Hoshino Hideichi let out a muffled groan, his fire-style chakra cloak instantly extinguished, and he staggered to the ground.

"Shuichi!"

Asuka appeared and helped Hoshino Shuichi up, hurriedly saying, "Quickly bite my arm."

Blood dripped from Hoshino Shizuka's nostrils.

"fine……"

Hoshino Shuichi felt like his brain was being pricked with needles: "It's just overworking my brain."

That is to say, his physical condition, mental strength, and willpower have been improved; otherwise, he would have been unable to withstand it long ago. This is far more mentally taxing than the last time he developed the Wind Release: Rasengan.

My brain is about to explode.

"Asuka, don't rush."

Yakushi Nonou also appeared beside Hoshishita Shuichi, but she was very calm, placing her hands on Hoshishita Shuichi's temples, where green chakra light shone.

Hoshino Shuichi was immediately relieved, and his body and head were enveloped by his own chakra, and the original stinging pain quickly subsided.

"It seems that to achieve high concentration, one must completely surround and immerse the brain with chakra to ensure that it will not cause problems even after a long period of time. I had overlooked this point before."

Hoshino Shuichi smiled wryly to himself, and after Yakushi Nonou wiped the blood from his nose, he laughed and said, "It's alright, I just neglected to protect my brain."

"Being too focused and thinking too fast puts too much strain on the brain."

The Hundred Healings Technique is supposed to protect the brain well, but he just focused all his energy on Fire Release Chakra Mode, which must have made him lose his mind.

Yakushi Nono and Asuka both breathed a sigh of relief.

Xingxia Xiu stood up and laughed, "Don't worry, there won't be any surprises after this."

Although there was a slight surprise, the result was good.

The Fire Release Chakra Mode is almost complete.

"Shuichi, do you need to replenish your chakra?"

Asuka asked.

Hoshino Hideaki shook his head: "No need, we have enough right now!"

Yakushi Nonou and Asuka exchanged a glance, then Yakushi Nonou went to do her work, while Asuka stayed behind.

Shuichi Hoshita knew that he was concerned about himself, so he didn't stop him and took the time to continue.

The next moment, his body was first covered by blue chakra, and then clusters of blue flames appeared.

This time, we didn't use white flames for transition!

He then gradually reduced his focus.

5 times!

2 times!

At this point, the blue fire-style chakra robe began to become somewhat unstable.

Hoshino Shuichi sighed inwardly, "If it were the Scorching Release, I wouldn't need such a high level of concentration to control it."

High concentration means high energy expenditure.

His current fire escape chakra mode still relies on the chakra of the Yin seal, rather than his own chakra.

"Therefore, if Pakura has a large enough amount of chakra, achieving the Scorch Release Chakra Mode should not be as difficult as imagined."

"Just like Rōshi, with the support of the Four-Tails' chakra, it's not difficult for him to use Lava Release Chakra Mode to form a lava armor."

Hoshita Shuichi pondered to himself, "Single chakra natures are too difficult to control, especially Fire Release, Wind Release, and Lightning Release."

"My next goal is either to develop Lava Release or Scorch Release, both of which will make it easier to form a chakra cloak."

"Three minutes left, let's try incorporating Wind Release..."
