Chapter 121 The Dazzling Ancient Divine Seal, Target: Wind Shadow! (10,000-word update, please subscribe and vote!)

The allure of the Divine Tree and the Ten-Tails is immense.

Even after returning home, Hoshino Shuichi was still pondering the feasibility of this matter.

Since the goal is not to become the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki, there doesn't seem to be much risk at the moment.

Even if Kaguya Otsutsuki tried to possess him, she couldn't.

The only difficult thing is to become a divine tree or a ten-tailed fox.

【Transformation Master】Gives Hoshino Shuichi the instinct and nature to the thing he transforms into, but the prerequisite is that he is familiar with it enough, which is a condition required by the transformation technique itself.

Lying in bed, Hoshino Shuichi gradually gathered his thoughts: "The matter of the Divine Tree is still quite far off, but the collection of the nine tailed beasts' chakra must begin step by step."

"Especially the power of the Nine-Tails..."

……

The following day, Hoshino Hideichi personally visited Tianxiang's shop to meet Tianyun.

He wasn't there to see the beautiful women, of course; he was there to place an order.

He was confident in his training of the Flying Thunder God Technique, and with mastery imminent, he naturally prepared a batch of specially made kunai to carry the Flying Thunder God Technique formula.

Besides kunai, there are also talisman paper that carries the Flying Thunder God Technique formula. This is also a special type of paper, made of the same material as the explosive talisman and the scroll.

Upon hearing Hoshino Hideichi's request, Tianyun was astonished: "A thousand kunai, and talismans too, Hideichi, is war about to break out in the ninja world?"

Hoshita Shuichi smiled and shook his head: "It's not a war, it's for training a ninjutsu."

Tianyun breathed a sigh of relief and then nodded with a smile: "No problem."

"When do you need it? I'll have them rush to finish it!"

Hoshita Shuichi thought for a moment and said, "Three days!"

"I'll come to my sister's to pick it up in three days."

Tianyun said, "No problem, I have some talisman paper ready, I'll give it to you first."

After taking the talisman, Hoshino Hideichi chatted with Tenyun for a while before paying and leaving.

Tianyun accepted the payment without hesitation.

Gifts are gifts, but business is business!

……

April 28, Konoha Year 43.

Inside the study.

Looking at the lotus mark left on the desk, Hoshino Shuichi couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and then a smile bloomed on his face.

It's finally finished!

Before he turned 11, he finally completed his training in the Flying Thunder God Technique and mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique.

And from the start of the learning process until now, it has been less than half a year.

He got up and left the study, then went to the courtyard outside. Hoshino Shizuka easily sensed his Flying Thunder God mark. In an instant, he appeared on the desk and squatted down.

"handsome!"

Hoshino Shuichi was even happier.

Aside from plot-driven deaths, unless something devastates the world, there's no way to escape.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to plant wards all over the world!

Jumping off the table, Hoshino Hideichi took his own Ame-no-Mao sword and the kunai specially crafted from chakra metal given to him by Tenyun. He wrapped the handles of both with talisman paper, and then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave a spell on the talisman paper, forming a unique lotus mark.

"And the Dean, Asuka, Shizune, and the others, it would be best to leave a mark as well."

While thinking, Hoshino Hideichi kept working, collecting the scroll of the Flying Thunder God Technique, taking another scroll with him, and then went out.

At the home of teacher Minato Namikaze.

Kushina Uzumaki, upon opening the door, was taken aback to see Shuichi Hoshita: "Shuichi, wasn't your shadow clone here?"

Hoshino Hideichi waved the scroll in his hand: "I'm here to return something."

Kushina Uzumaki immediately understood, then looked at Shuichi Hoshita in utter shock: "Shuichi, you wouldn't... you wouldn't have already completed your training in the Flying Thunder God Technique, would you?"

Hoshita Shuichi smiled and nodded: "I have already mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique and have a basic grasp of this technique."

"this……"

"This is incredible!"

Kushina Uzumaki thought that Shuichi Hoshino was exceptionally talented and might be able to master the Flying Thunder God Technique faster than Minato, but she never expected it to happen in such a short time.

Without lingering at his teacher Minato Namikaze's house, Shuichi Hoshino went to the Hokage Building and, through the intermediary of Shinnosuke Sarutobi, met the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Smoking a cigarette, Hiruzen Sarutobi finished reading the complete plan in front of him and looked up, saying, "So, Danzo has already begun his plan to create fake Tailed Beast Jinchuriki?"

Hoshita Hideyuki nodded: "Although Lord Danzo doesn't trust me, it's clear from the situation at the laboratory."

"Perhaps this is also a way for Lord Orochimaru to tell me on purpose."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, then, recalling Shuichi Hoshino's outrageous actions, couldn't help but ask, "Do you think the daimyo will agree to this plan?"

Hoshino Shuichi said earnestly, "As long as the daimyo sees the results, he won't refuse."

"And I am one of the achievements."

"Once other people come along, we can send them to the daimyo as undercover agents for a period of time."

Amidst the swirling smoke, Hiruzen Sarutobi's noodles twitched slightly, then he nodded: "Then let's proceed according to your plan!"

Hoshino Shuichi's plan was so comprehensive that there was no reason to refuse something that seemed to benefit only Konoha.

"Yes, I will do my best."

After finishing his sentence, Hoshino added, "Lord Hokage, besides this matter, I also need to apply for permission to freely enter and leave the village."

"Because I recently completed my training in the Flying Thunder God Technique."

What?

Hiruzen Sarutobi almost dropped his pipe.

He quickly reached out to support him, and after regaining his composure, Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, "I remember you haven't been practicing this technique for very long, have you?"

Hoshino Hideichi quickly replied, "It went relatively smoothly thanks to Minato-sensei's guidance."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was at a loss for words.

It should have been a very happy thing, but for some reason I feel a little depressed.

Minato Namikaze took two years to complete the task, and he was already amazed by his genius.

It's been half a year since the Star Show started...

After giving it two sharp tugs, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and said, "Alright, go find Shinnosuke."

"However, you must be careful outside, and don't forget that you are being watched by Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure."

Hoshita Shuichi immediately replied gratefully, "Yes, I will, Third Hokage-sama, please rest assured!"

……

After leaving the Hokage's office and receiving a warrant from Sarutobi Shinnosuke, Hoshishita Shuichi left the Hokage Building under Sarutobi Shinnosuke's astonished gaze, and then picked up his custom-made kunai from the Tensho shop.

Back home, Hoshinobu initially left the Flying Thunder God Technique formula for these kunai.

However, this actually consumes a lot of chakra. Even if one can transform into the Four-Tails and rely on natural energy to quickly recover, it is not something that can be accomplished in a day or two.

However, for now, I think 50 Hoshino Shuichi cigarettes would be enough.

The process of continuously leaving behind the techniques is also a process of further honing one's skills with the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Of course, this is not enough to meet the requirements of a term tree.

Therefore, the entry for "Envoy of Space and Time" cannot be activated yet.

But Hoshino Shuichi was no longer in such a hurry.

As the New Year approached, Hoshino Hideichi was in no hurry to leave the village.

Moreover, he also needs to use up his "flash of inspiration".

April 31, Konoha Year 43.

study.

Hoshino Shuichi was ready. He activated the Yin Seal on his forehead, launched the Hundred Healings Technique, and enveloped his entire head with chakra. Then he focused to the maximum.

My mind is working at full speed!

Asuka, who was not far away, was also nervous and ready to act at any moment, even though Hoshino Shuichi had said that nothing would happen.

A flash of inspiration! Start!

Hoshita Shuichi lowered his eyes and began a brainstorming session.

Ten minutes is a short time, but with Hoshino Shizuka's high-speed thinking, it feels like a long time.

Time passed slowly, and five minutes later, beads of sweat began to appear on Hoshino Shizuka's forehead.

Eight minutes later, he suddenly opened his eyes, picked up a brush, and began writing rapidly on a blank scroll that had been prepared beforehand.

Tadpole-like runes quickly appeared and then formed a spell.

As 10 minutes passed and the "flash of inspiration" effect disappeared, Hoshino Shizuka also stopped writing.

Asuka rushed forward, anxiously asking, "Shuichi, how are you?"

Hoshino Hideichi wiped his sweat, withdrew the Hundred Healings Technique and the Yin Seal, and said with a smile, "There are no problems."

Asuka breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the complex incantation on the scroll and asked, "Shuichi, is this... a sealing technique?"

Looking at his find, Hoshino Shizuka shook his head and chuckled, "No, it's a curse seal technique!"

"A cursed seal?"

Asuka examined it closely, but the complex incantations made her dizzy, so she quickly gave up and laughed, "Shuichi, this cursed seal must be very powerful, right?"

Hoshita Shuichi first explained the concept of natural energy to Asuka before saying, "This cursed seal allows you to obtain natural energy from nature and then use it to amplify the power of Fire Release techniques."

"Probably... several times, or even dozens of times?"

Several times more?

Asuka was stunned.

"Unfortunately, it can only amplify Fire Release techniques, and it can't store natural energy in advance like the Kusanagi-like technique."

Hoshino Hideichi sighed inwardly, feeling a little regretful.

However, it's not bad to complete a full seal from a spell that's only half complete.

The natural energy within the Ame-no-Kami can only be used to perform sword techniques.

But now this cursed seal can amplify all his Fire Release ninjutsu, including Fire Release Chakra Mode.

Even after mastering the Lava Escape technique, it should also be able to amplify the effect.

Moreover, this cursed seal is different from Orochimaru's Sage Cursed Seal and Sage Mode; instead, it is similar to the chakra of the Tailed Beasts.

"Asuka-neechan, what do you think would be a good name for this cursed seal?"

Looking down at his masterpiece, Hoshino Shizuka asked with great interest.

Asuka thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "How about the Xuanbi Ancient God Seal?"

"With such a powerful boost, Shuichi, your Fire Release techniques were already incredibly strong. In that case, no one should be able to match you, right?"

"The Radiant Ancient Divine Seal..."

Hoshita Shuichi naturally knew what this name represented.

It represents the god of fire!

In different parts of the ninja world, this fire god has different names.

For example, the Fire-type Kagutsuchi!

Yes, that's the name of Sasuke Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan, Kagutsuchi!

Thinking it over, Hoshino Hideichi smiled and said, "Then this one will do!"

"The dazzling ancient divine seal!"

After saying that, he reached out and pressed his hand on the spell on the scroll.

The next moment, a blue light shone, and the runes on the scroll immediately came to life, quickly climbing up Hoshino Shuichi's right hand, then all the way up his arm and all over his body, finally converging at his brow, transforming into a blue flame mark formed by two tomoe.

Asuka, watching from the side, couldn't help but secretly exclaim, "So handsome!"

……

During dinner that evening, Hoshita Shuichi explained to Yakushi Nonou and Asuka his plan to leave the village for a period of time to further train in the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Pharmacist Nonou smiled and nodded, "Then Shuichi should be careful, and also..."

Then she looked at the pleading Asuka and said, "Take Asuka with you!"

Asuka nodded repeatedly, looking at Hoshino Shuichi with longing.

Hoshita Shuichi instantly understood that Yakushi Nonou had realized his departure from the village wasn't solely for training the Flying Thunder God Technique, and immediately nodded, "Okay!"

Asuka immediately shouted excitedly, "Yay!"

One night passed, and Konoha Year 44 arrived.

This was also the most comfortable New Year that Xingxia Xiuyi had ever had.

Because we had so much to show for it before the new year.

On the fourth day of the new year, Hoshino Shuichi, as usual, began to wish Minato Namikaze, Tsunade, and others a Happy New Year and told them about his plans to leave the village.

The date was set for January 10th, Konoha 44.

Before we knew it, the day had come to leave the village.

As usual, morning training continued. After breakfast, Hoshino Shuichi, fully armed, set off with Asuka under the watchful eyes of Yakushi Nonou.

However, as soon as I stepped outside, I saw Minato Namikaze appear.

"Looks like we made it in time!"

Minato Namikaze laughed, then handed the longsword in his hand to Shuichi Hoshishita, saying with a smile, "The ninja swords of the Anbu are not bad, but they are still not as good as chakra swords."

"This Yaegaki sword would suit you perfectly!"

The Yaegaki Sword was obtained from the Daimyo during his first trip to the Land of Fire. It is said to possess the power to manipulate the earth, but Minato Namikaze did not sense it when he tried to use it.

Even so, this is still a Kusanagi sword, possessing a quality superior to ordinary chakra swords.

This time, Hoshino Shuichi did not refuse as he had last time. He reached out and took the gift, bowing and saying, "Thank you, teacher. Then I won't be polite!"

Minato Namikaze looked at Shuichi Hoshishita with gentle eyes and said, "Be careful!"

Hoshita Shuichi nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, teacher, I will!"

Minato Namikaze nodded, then smiled and said, "Then I'll be going. Kakashi and the others are still waiting for me!"

After saying that, the person disappeared.

Hoshino Shuichi looked down at the talisman already wrapped on the sword hilt and couldn't help but smile: Minato-sensei is as meticulous as ever!

Reaching out to grasp the sword hilt, lotus patterns quietly appeared on it.

"Set off!"

Looking back at Yakushi Nono, Hoshino Shuichi gave a soft shout and then leaped into the air.

Asuka turned around and waved to Yakushi Nonou, who had been watching them, before leaping up and following after them.

……

Having successfully left Konoha Village, Hoshino Shuichi found a spot nearby and left a Flying Thunder God kunai, inserting it into a stone and leaving only the handle.

At this distance, he could easily sense the Flying Thunder God Technique he had left behind in Konoha Village.

One in the study, one on Yakushi Nono, and one on Shizune.

After leaving behind the Flying Thunder God Kunai, Hoshino Shuichi and Asuka continued their journey, heading towards the Land of Wind.

Because they weren't in a hurry to travel, the two arrived at the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rivers on the second day.

Within the Land of Fire, Hoshino Shuichi left behind a total of 5 Flying Thunder God kunai.

After resting at the border for one night, the two entered the River Country the next day and entered the border of the Wind Country on the same day.

Throughout this process, a flock of crows followed nearby.

With the experience from the Land of Wind, plus a flock of crows, and the fact that Hoshino Shuichi could transform into a bird, the journey went smoothly without getting lost.

However, Hoshino Shuichi's goal was not Sunagakure, and he did not approach Sunagakure rashly.

Instead, they left Flying Thunder God marks or Flying Thunder God kunai in the small oases or towns around Sunagakure.

After making the arrangements, Hoshino Shuichi took Asuka and left the Land of Wind. They changed their appearances, disguised themselves as traveling merchants, and entered a medium-sized town in the Land of Rivers. They took over a general store, as if they were tired and decided to settle down.

With the general store in Asuka's hands, Hoshino Shuichi continued to focus on his training, using shadow clones and crows to monitor the area surrounding Sunagakure.

He didn't know if Sasori of the Red Sand would try to assassinate the Third Kazekage again.

However, based on the information obtained last time, the Third Kazekage often leaves the village and travels in the Land of Wind, most likely for the purpose of exploring iron ore or something similar.

After all, they already had successful experience in the River Country.

Time passed in this state of practice and surveillance.

In the blink of an eye, it's Xingxia Xiuyi's 11th birthday.

In the afternoon, Asuka styled Hoshino Shuichi's hair, then gestured and laughed, "Shuichi, without realizing it, you've grown taller than Nonou-neechan!"

Hoshita Shuichi said helplessly, "I'm another year older, so it's only natural that I've grown taller!"

However, he did grow much faster in the past year than before.

Yakushi Nonou is only 155cm tall, while he is already 160cm tall, only a few centimeters shorter than Asuka.

It's good that I've grown taller, the only regret is that I can't act cute with Yakushi Nonou like before.

Yes, it's time to change our way of getting along!

Shuichi Hoshita decides to fully demonstrate the charm of a mature man and become the absolute pillar of this family.

……

Although there were only two of them that evening, Asuka prepared a very lavish meal because it was her birthday.

Longevity noodles, a birthday cake, and dishes that Hoshino Shuichi loves to eat filled the table.

However, halfway through the meal, Hoshino Shuichi suddenly paused, then laughed and said, "Looks like today is my lucky day!"

Asuka paused for a moment, then realized: "Is there something going on in the Land of Wind?"

Xingxia Xiu nodded and stood up: "The Wind Shadow has been mobilized!"

Asuka was a little disappointed that she hadn't finished the meal, but she still smiled and said, "We've already eaten the longevity noodles and birthday cake, so Shuichi's birthday has been celebrated in its entirety. Let's go, let's set off!"

As she spoke, Asuka got up to pack her things.

Five minutes later, the two men, fully armed, vanished from the room in a flash.

……

The Land of Wind, an abandoned stronghold of Sunagakure.

Beneath the crumbling eaves and broken walls, the figures of Hoshino Shuichi and Asuka suddenly appeared.

Then Xingxia Xiu created a shadow clone that transformed into an eagle and soared into the night sky.

About 10 minutes later, Hoshino Shuichi received the memories from the shadow clone and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Asuka quickly asked, "Shuichi, how is it?"

"Does the Wind Shadow have many people around him?"

Xingxia Xiu shook his head: "Fengying is alone."

The Kazekage had previously led his guards out of Sunagakure to a nearby oasis before his shadow clones detected him. Unexpectedly, the Kazekage has now left that town alone.

Asuka exclaimed in surprise, "This... how could this be?"

"Shuichi, could this be a trap?"

Shuichi Hoshita understood Asuka's meaning and laughed, "Trapes don't work on us."

"Let's go see what the Wind Shadow is up to."

He set off as he spoke, and Asuka immediately followed.

The two moved at high speed through the desert, one in front of the other.

However, Hoshino Shuichi did not approach rashly, but instead hung on from a distance.

About half an hour later, through aerial reconnaissance, Hoshino Shuichi discovered that the Third Kazekage had entered a town ruin.

Most importantly, there was another humanoid figure radiating heat within the town ruins.

"Sasori of the Red Sand?"

Hoshino Shizuka speculates.

He had never seen Sasori of the Red Sand and did not have any information about his chakra, so he could not identify him using the Listening Technique.

Even high-altitude thermal vision cannot clearly see faces.

but.

No matter who the Kazekage comes out to meet, this is a perfect opportunity to kill him!

Whether it's dry or not is another matter.

We have to do it now!

Hoshita Shuichi took off his hooded robe and handed it to Asuka, saying, "Asuka-neechan, you stay back and support me from a distance."

"If the Kazekage's guards appear, or any other ninjas approach, send a signal flare to let me know!"

Asuka nodded first, then quickly said, "There are two people with the Kazekage. They must be quite extraordinary to be valued by the Kazekage so much."

"Why don't you leave a shadow clone to keep watch, and I'll come over to help you!"

Hoshino Hideichi shook his head: "I will not appear in my true form for the time being, so you should not approach the battlefield for the time being."

He thought for a moment and then added, "You can approach the battlefield once I use Fire Release Chakra Mode."

Asuka nodded emphatically, "Yes!"

After finalizing the plan, Hoshino Shuichi leaped into the air, transforming into a hawk and soaring away, quickly disappearing from Asuka's sight.
