Chapter 112 Infiltrating Sunagakure, Let's Make Something Big! (Please subscribe and vote with guaranteed monthly tickets)

In fact, this was the first time that Hoshino Shuichi had ever carried out a mission alone.

Although he appeared to be alone while in Root, he was actually followed by other Root members.

But now, there is only a flock of crows.

However, Hoshino Shuichi was glad he had brought his flock of crows with him, otherwise they might have really gotten lost.

The desert area is really difficult to traverse!

……

finally reached!

On the third day, after avoiding several of the Sand Village's strongholds, Hoshinobi Shuichi finally saw the Sand Village.

"I don't know how anyone can live in this godforsaken place!"

Hoshino Shuichi spat out the sand in his mouth with a "pui".

"During the Third Shinobi World War, both Iwagakure and Kirigakure attacked the Land of Wind, right?"

Hoshinobi Shuichi gazed at Sunagakure, pondering to himself, "Kirigakure is understandable, after all, the south of the Land of Wind isn't entirely desert, but the north... can it just be a mission to destroy Sunagakure and then take over the Land of Wind?"

After resting for a while, Hoshinoichi summoned the crows in the sky, fed them water and food, and replenished their chakra.

Furthermore, Hoshino Shuichi was even more cautious, temporarily placing a seal on each crow to seal his chakra, in order to prevent it from being detected when the crows entered Sunagakure.

When the time comes, the seal will automatically be lifted, and then you can transform into a crow clone.

This is Shuichi Hoshino's infiltration plan.

If that doesn't work, then he can only use the Toad Shadow Manipulation Technique to find a lone Sand Ninja and infiltrate the Sand Village, but that will require waiting and will take more time.

Once ready, a dozen crows flapped their wings and took flight, then dispersed and flew towards Sunagakure.

Less than fifteen minutes.

Beside a garbage dump in Sunagakure, crows gathered, transformed into Hoshino Shizuka, and then leaped away.

A moment later, Hoshino Shizuka transformed into an ordinary villager of Sunagakure and blended into the crowd.

Wandering aimlessly, Hoshinobu Shuichi secretly observed Sunagakure.

However, he does not appear in any place alone to avoid attracting attention.

"what?"

Suddenly, Hoshino Hideichi spotted a familiar figure.

That beautiful back is absolutely unique!

Burning Escape to Ye Cang!

However, Hoshino Shuichi looked away after just one glance.

Meanwhile, Ye Cang, who was shopping with his disciple, sensed something and turned around, but all he saw was a flowing crowd and nothing unusual.

Her disciple, Juan, asked curiously, "Teacher, what's wrong?"

Ye Cang turned around and smiled, "Nothing?"

"Alright, break's over, time to start training!"

……

After briefly touring Sunagakure, Hoshino initially set her sights on the building where the Kazekage worked.

The most suitable target is the secretary working next to Fengying.

Such a person is unlikely to be very strong in combat, but is also highly likely to know the whereabouts of the Kazekage.

If that doesn't work, then attack the guards protecting the Kazekage.

However, in that case, once a move is made, a retreat is necessary.

then.

Xingxia Xiu initially used different faces, following others from different directions past the Fengying Building.

Then he turned into a little kid and played with other children next to the Wind Shadow Building.

Or perhaps it becomes a bird, hopping and jumping aimlessly on the rooftop.

Yes.

Shuichi Hoshino can now transform into a bird and fly.

This was learned by using shadow clones to dissect birds, study aerodynamics, improve wind jutsu abilities, and then repeatedly transform into birds to jump off cliffs.

This also caused his progress in the "Transformation Master" skill, which was originally very slow, to skyrocket.

Because there are so many kinds of birds, if you learn to transform into a bird and fly, then you've already succeeded halfway for any kind of bird!

Time passed slowly, and night fell quickly.

Xingxia Xiu had scouted the spot early in the morning, transforming into a small insect and hiding quietly in the darkness of the balcony.

As dawn approached, the target finally returned.

Hearing the door open, Hoshino Hideichi skipped and hopped into the room.

Steam rose from the bathroom as Hoshino Shizuka continued to wait.

A short while later, a naked woman walked into the bedroom, stretched, and tucked herself into bed.

Sunagakure is such a horrible place; it's hot during the day and cold at night.

Hoshinoichi appeared silently, his hands forming a hand seal.

Magical - Tree Binding Kill!

The woman lying in bed was about to fall asleep when she realized she was tied to the bed with tree roots, and she immediately opened her eyes.

"A dream?"

"No, it's an illusion!"

"Intruder!"

The woman was no ordinary person; she was an exceptionally skilled ninja with lightning-fast reflexes, yet she was unable to break free from the illusion.

Moreover, Hoshino Shuichi sat down next to her, placing a cold kunai on her long, white neck.

"Ms. Asami, you wouldn't want to die quietly in your own bed, completely naked, would you?"

At this moment, Hoshinobi Hideaki appears as a Sand Ninja.

Mami gritted her teeth: "You...you're from Konoha, aren't you?"

"I will never betray the village!"

Hoshita Shuichi chuckled: "What a clever woman. But usually, women who are too clever die quickly, and in a terrible way!"

Asami scoffed, "As a ninja, I've long been prepared to die!"

Hoshino Shuichi's kunai slowly moved downwards, sending chills down Asami's spine: "I believe in your resolve, but you probably don't want to try my methods, do you?"

"Although it is extremely cruel, I am prepared to complete the mission."

Mami's body trembled, her face turning pale: "You devil!"

Hoshino Hideichi chuckled: "Don't worry, as long as you reveal the information, I won't do anything to you."

"Moreover, this information is not classified."

"So, please tell me, in the past month, has the Third Kazekage personally led any teams out of the village on any missions, and when?"

Mami paused for a moment, then subconsciously asked, "That's it?"

Hoshita Hideichi chuckled, "Of course, so it's very easy, isn't it?"

Mami hesitated.

Hoshino Shuichi's kunai immediately went down.

"That bastard..."

Mami gritted her teeth, then opened her mouth and recounted Kazekage's schedule one by one.

Hoshino Shuichi listened silently, but his brows furrowed involuntarily.

Unlike Hiruzen Sarutobi, who often stayed in the village, the Third Kazekage frequently left the village, but rarely left the Land of Wind, and only brought the Kazekage Guard with him.

For the past month, the Kazekage has not been deployed with Chiyo.

Unless Mami doesn't know, or Mami is lying.

But the possibility of that is very low.

After Mami finished recounting the Kazekage's schedule over the past month, Hoshino Shuichi immediately formed hand seals.

Mami's eyes widened immediately.

Illusion - The Art of Nirvana Abode!

Feathers fluttered before her eyes, and Mami, who was already under an illusion, suddenly felt her eyelids grow heavy and slowly fell asleep.

As soon as Hoshino Shizuka left the bedroom, she transformed into a bird and fluttered away.

Inside the bedroom, Mami's blanket was never lifted from the beginning; it was all just an illusion.

In the darkness, Hoshinobi Shuichi continued his operation, taking down one Sand Ninja after another.

However, the targets he chose were mostly genin and chunin, in order to indirectly confirm the accuracy of Mami's information.

Clearly, Mami did not deceive Hoshino Shuichi.

In a dark corner, Hoshino Shuichi, sensing that his chakra was almost depleted, released the Crow Clone Technique.

A dozen or so crows immediately flapped their wings and flew into the night sky.

"Huh? Why are there so many crows all of a sudden?"

A patrolling Sand Ninja was surprised to see the crows take flight.

The squad leader's expression changed drastically: "Something's wrong... Maki, report to the authorities immediately! It's highly likely that enemies have invaded the village!"

With that, the captain led his men in pursuit of the flock of crows.

Maki paused for a moment before leaping to report.

Soon, the once-dormant Sunagakure village seemed to come alive, with Jonin leading small teams out into the world.

……

Outside Sunagakure, crows landed, and Hoshino Shuichi fed them again, then replenished his chakra.

After the crows flew away, Hoshino Shigehiko looked at Sunagakure and said, "We've been discovered... They came pretty quickly."

"However, based on the information we have now, our previous guesses have been overturned. If the information from Inuzuka Jacques and the others was correct, then the puppeteer who attacked Hatake Sakumo was not Chiyo."

"But it's uncertain whether the Wind Shadow has made a move."

"Was it a large-scale siege at the time?"

Seeing the approaching Sand Ninja, Hoshino Shuichi rubbed his chin: "Actually, there's another very simple way to get the answer."

Let's go big!

To some extent, he changed Sakumo Hatake's fate. Whether from an emotional or practical standpoint, he couldn't accept the outcome of Sakumo Hatake's disappearance or mysterious death.

Whether Konoha's White Fang reached the level of a Kage is unknown, but Hoshinobi Shuichi was indeed an elite Jonin of Konoha, a figure respected by rising stars like Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya, and even by the legendary Sannin of Konoha.

While it cannot be said that Hiruzen Sarutobi of Konoha was the leader after Sakumo Hatake, his strength and mission experience were indeed top-tier among Konoha's Jonin.

Such characters are not incapable of being killed, but they must be killed in a way that is respectful enough for people to accept them.

……

soon.

The three Sand Ninja who had been tracking them arrived.

"Hey, who are you?"

"What are your intentions in coming to our village?"

"Surrender immediately, or don't blame us for being impolite!"

The Sand Ninja captain called out from a distance of more than ten meters.

With a single step, Xingxia Xiu vanished in a flash.

"So fast!"

"Where did you go?"

The Sand Ninja Captain exclaimed in surprise, looking up, left and right, but couldn't find any trace of Hoshino Shuichi. Then, a muffled thud came from behind him.

Looking back, he saw that two of his subordinates had already fallen.

Cold sweat poured down his forehead, his knuckles turned white as he gripped the kunai, and he swallowed hard.

Swish!

Hoshita Shuichi suddenly appeared before the Sand Ninja, their eyes meeting: "I am Hoshita Shuichi of Konoha!"

Before the Sand Ninja could even open his mouth after swallowing hard, Hoshinobu Shuichi grabbed him by the neck, lifted him up, slammed him to the ground, and then punched him unconscious.

Three prisoners captured!

"But this portion isn't quite enough..."

Hoshino Hideichi placed the Five Elements Seal and the Four Limbs Seal on the three in turn, and then continued to wait in place.

Not long after, another group of Sand Ninja arrived. The leader was clearly a Jonin, no ordinary person.

Hoshino Shuichi didn't bother waiting for the other party to finish his nonsense. He drew his katana, splitting his body into three. Blue light streamed down the blade, and the terrifying temperature distorted the light in the surrounding air.

In addition, Hoshinobi Shuichi's forward speed was so fast that the three figures not only appeared as double images but also as distorted images in the eyes of the Sand Ninja.

Dance of the Crescent Moon (retro) - Dance of the Three Blazing Suns!

"So fast!"

The Sand Village Jonin was startled and immediately shouted, "Be careful, this guy is not simple!"

Before he could finish speaking, he had already drawn his sword.

At this speed, there's no time to form hand seals and use ninjutsu.

In the blink of an eye, three Star-Style Xiu Yis arrived.

clang!

The clang of metal rang out, and the clash of swords echoed.

But the next moment, the Sand Ninja Jonin's pupils dilated as his sword, imbued with Wind Release chakra, was rapidly sliced ​​open by the opponent's blade.

"This temperature..."

The Sand Village Jonin was sweating profusely when he heard a thud behind him.

He knew without even looking that his three subordinates were finished.

The Sand Village Jonin decisively abandoned his sword and leaped into the air, quickly throwing several shuriken in order to buy time.

However, Hoshino Shizuka not only blocked the Sand Ninja's shuriken with his superior ninja tool throwing, but also launched a counterattack, forcing the Sand Ninja who was about to form hand seals to abandon them in order to dodge Hoshino Shizuka's shuriken.

Ding ding ding ding!

The clang of metal rang out, and one by one, broken kunai fell to the ground.

The Sand Village Jonin were completely overwhelmed by the attacks of Hoshinobi Shuichi's two Fire Release clones, and had no chance to fight back.

His opponent was no slower than him, and his swordsmanship was terrifying; his kunai was easily cut in half.

After several rounds, the Sand Ninja was soaked to the bone: "Where did this terrifying brat come from..."

"We must find a way to notify the village!"

The Sand Village Jonin gritted his teeth and struggled to hold on, waiting for the right moment to fire the signal flare.

But Hoshino Shuichi didn't give him a chance. His main body, who was watching the battle, suddenly disappeared and then appeared behind the Sand Ninja Jonin, knocking him unconscious with a chop to the neck.

The battle is over.

After dispelling the clones, Hoshino Hideaki sealed the four prisoners as before.

Looking at the seven prisoners lying on the ground, Hoshino Shuichi felt that it was about time, especially since there was a Jonin among them.

He left a shadow clone behind, and Hoshino Hideichi leaped back and disappeared into the night.

Although he was planning something big, he wouldn't put himself in danger.

Leaving behind a shadow clone is enough!

……

After waiting for a few minutes, Hoshino Shuichi suddenly looked up.

Birds were circling overhead.

"A summoning beast...?"

Ignoring it, Hoshino Shuichi continued to wait.

Two Sand Ninja squads arrived quickly, but upon seeing the prisoners scattered on the ground, their faces darkened and they did not launch a rash attack.

Maki, who had also come along, saw that his team leader and comrades had been captured, and his expression changed: "Captain..."

"Don't come any closer!"

With a loud shout, Maki was immediately taken to the back.

"Hey, what exactly do you want?"

A middle-aged Sand Ninja shouted, "State your demands! What will it take for you to release them?"

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "Very smart, then let's not waste any more words."

"I am Hoshita Shuichi of Konoha..."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than exclamations of surprise rang out from among the Sand Ninja.

"Hoshinobi Shuichi, the youngest Chunin and Special Jonin in Konoha, with a 30 million bounty on his head from Iwagakure?"

"This kid is supposedly only around ten years old?"

"Why did he come here, and why did he attack us?"

"Has this guy gone mad? He's so arrogant, daring to provoke our Sand Village like this!"

……

When Hoshino Shuichi fought against the Sand Ninja, he wasn't particularly strong, but he left a deep impression on Rasa and Pakura.

However, the bounty placed on Hoshinobi by Iwagakure made his name known to Sunagakure.

But that's about it.

Very few people have actually seen Hoshishita Shuichi's true face. Even Yecang and the others don't know Hoshishita Shuichi's true strength now.

While shocked by the actions of the Iwa ninja and the age of Hoshinobi Shuichi, most of the Sand ninja expressed disdain.

A special Jonin around 10 years old?

It's all just empty fame!

But now... the Sand Ninja looking at Hoshinobi Shuichi felt both anger and deep shock.

They had witnessed firsthand Hoshino Shuichi's prowess, as the sheer number of prisoners was a testament to his strength.

Upon hearing Hoshinobu Shuichi introduce himself, the middle-aged Sand Village ninja immediately shouted, "A Konoha ninja... are you trying to provoke a conflict and war between the two villages?"

Hoshino Hideichi chuckled: "Don't make it sound so serious. I only arrested a few people, I didn't kill them."

"Of course, if you want to start a war, that's fine with me, go ahead!"

The Sand Village ninja were speechless for a moment, but they were furious!

That brat is too arrogant!

Hoshita Shuichi continued, "Let's get back to the topic... Call your Kazekage over to see me, or I'll kill all these prisoners."

Upon hearing this, the Sand Village ninja's anger erupted.

"To see Lord Kazekage, you do it this way... That wretched brat!"

"How could Lord Kazekage possibly let you see him so easily? You bastard, are you here to assassinate Lord Kazekage?"

"Damn it, use smoke bombs, then attack together! Even if we lose a few, we must kill this brat. It would be a disgrace to us if he saw Lord Kazekage this way!"

"Don't be impulsive, this might just be a clone!"

……

In the end, it was the middle-aged Sand Ninja who restrained the other Sand Ninja. He stared at Hoshinobi Shuichi: "Although I don't know what your purpose is, the Kazekage-sama is not someone you can just see casually!"

"Oh?"

Hoshino Hideichi narrowed his eyes, then grabbed a prisoner who was about his age, and with a light slash of his kunai, cut open the prisoner's wrist, and blood flowed out quickly.

Hoshino Shuichi's face turned cold: "It seems you don't understand. I'm not discussing this with you."

"If they don't do as I say, then watch them bleed to death one by one!"

Many Sand Ninja paled, then suddenly someone threw a kunai: "Die, brat!"

The middle-aged Sand Ninja's expression changed, but it was too late to stop him.

Hoshino Hideichi sneered, easily catching the kunai with a flick of his wrist, and then throwing it back at an even faster speed, imbued with wind chakra.

puff!

Hit the center of the brow!

The Sand Shinobi who threw the kunai fell down with wide eyes.

"So fast..."

The Sand Village ninja were shocked and dared not move for a moment.

The middle-aged Sand Ninja gritted his teeth and shouted, "Baki, go back immediately and inform the Kazekage!"

Maki nodded quickly; he didn't want to watch his companion die like that.

When Xingxia Xiu heard the name "Maji", he looked over in surprise, and then said, "I'm sorry, I really didn't recognize him."

But just then, a clear, cold voice rang out: "No need, Lord Kazekage already knows!"

As the numerous Sand Ninjas made way, a tall figure came into Hoshino Shuichi's view.

A familiar face!

Hoshita Shuichi chuckled softly, "Yakura, we meet again!"

"It really was you!"

Ye Cang snorted coldly, but deep down he was shocked.

Unexpectedly, the person who caused them trouble along with the Yellow Flash was none other than Hoshino Shuichi, who was recently wanted by the Iwagakure ninja.

It seems my intuition was right.

It must have been this kid observing her from the shadows back then, just like in the Land of Rivers!

"Lord Kazekage is on his way, can we stop now?"

Ye Cangdao.

Hoshino nodded readily: "For the sake of our old acquaintance, of course there's no problem."

As he spoke, he grasped the wrist of the Sand Ninja prisoner, and a green light shone forth.
