Chapter 140 Warm-up complete, Flame Release! (12,000 words, please subscribe and vote!)

In the forest, Hoshino Hideichi, who had been resting, opened his eyes: "As expected, a large number of ninjas have been mobilized."

"Judging by this, you'd think a large-scale attack was about to begin!"

Hoshino Hideaki stood up and shouted to Asuka, who was on guard not far away, "Asuka-neechan, prepare to retreat!"

"Huh?"

Asuka paused for a moment, then asked, "Have the Sand Ninja mobilized on a large scale?"

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "More than a hundred people."

"You and I will retreat one after the other, bring back the intelligence, and let the people behind us prepare to intercept and kill the Sand Ninja infiltration team."

Asuka exclaimed in surprise, "Shuichi, you're going to face hundreds of Sand Ninja all by yourself?"

Hoshino Hideaki shook his head: "How could that be?"

"I'm just stalling for time. Don't forget I can use the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to your side at any time!"

Asuka, concerned, nodded after hearing this.

Shuichi Hoshita immediately created a shadow clone and took Asuka away.

He then transformed into the Four-Tails to absorb natural energy and restore his strength. After recovering, he continued to create clones.

Shadow Clone, Lightning Clone, Earth Clone, Water Clone.

The shadow clone transformed into a hawk to monitor the Sand Ninja, while the other three clones took to the air and transformed into different birds, scattering throughout the surrounding forest.

With everything arranged, Hoshino Shizuka waited quietly.

Half an hour later, the cry of an eagle echoed in the sky.

"They're here!"

Hoshino Hideichi's gaze sharpened, and then he vanished from the spot in a flash.

A moment later, at the edge of the forest, Hoshino Hideichi appeared on a tree.

Outside, the Sand Village's hundred-strong force also stopped.

Hoshita Shuichi looked on and suddenly smiled: "A hundred people... that's not that many!"

Across from him, seeing Hoshino Shuichi still able to laugh and appear alone, Fei Lian couldn't help but frown: "Has this kid gone mad?"

"No matter what, let's remove this obstacle first!"

Fei Lian raised his hand and waved.

Immediately, ten Sand Ninja leaped out and formed hand seals in unison.

Wind Release: Great Net!

Rumble!

When a storm arises, the sharp, net-like winds within can easily shred trees and even human bodies.

The combined power of one Sand Ninja Jonin and nine Sand Ninja Chunin makes this ninjutsu incredibly powerful.

Fei Lian believed that, apart from retreating, Hoshino Shuichi had absolutely no way to block the attack by himself using Wind Release or Wind Release and Fire Release together.

While these 10 Sand Ninjas were using their ninjutsu, another team of Sand Ninjas attacked from the left and right sides.

However, Hoshino Shizuka, standing on the tree branch, watched all of this quietly until the Sand Ninja's Wind Release ninjutsu reached him, at which point his figure suddenly disappeared.

Where he stood, the large tree was immediately cut into pieces.

"What?"

Fei Lian and many other Sand Ninja were astonished.

How could you dodge that?

"Watch out, it's overhead!"

The sensory ninja in the group shouted a warning.

However, the shadow clone that had transformed into a hawk was already circling above the Sand Ninja's head. Hoshinobi Shuichi appeared above the Sand Ninja's head using the Flying Thunder God Technique, and then swooped down headfirst.

Fei Lian looked up and saw huge blue fireballs raining down on him. He immediately shouted, "Scatter!"

Dozens of Sand Ninja scattered in all directions.

Rumble!

The terrible explosion kicked up billowing smoke and dust, engulfing many of the Sand Ninja who had managed to avoid it.

As Hoshino Hideaki fell from the sky, he flicked his hands, sending a large number of Flying Thunder God kunai flying down and scattering among the Sand Village ninja, where they stuck into the ground.

At this moment, the billowing dust was swept away by the wind release, and then the whooshing sound of air being cut rang out as a large number of shuriken flew towards Hoshino Shizuka, many of which were carrying explosive tags.

But Hoshino Shuichi's figure disappeared again.

Fei Lian had already realized something was wrong; this instantaneous movement technique was just like that yellow flash from Konoha.

"Watch out for his teleportation technique! Spread out and don't get close to his kunai!"

Fei Lian shouted a warning, but it was too late.

Hoshinobi Hideichi appeared next to a Sand Ninja, and the moment the Ame-no-Shujo was drawn, the corpse was severed in two.

Zi la la!

Lightning crackled around his limbs, and the sound of a thousand birds chirping rang out. Hoshino Shuichi was enveloped in lightning as he used the Thousand Birds Instantaneous Body Technique. In his left hand was the Yaegaki Sword he had retrieved from Yekura, and in his right hand was the Kusanagi Sword.

The swords and blades were covered in blue light, which was the Blue Flame Vacuum Slash, a fusion of fire and wind techniques. It possessed both high temperature and the terrifying direct physical cutting ability of wind techniques.

His figure flashed, swords flew, and at this moment, Hoshino Shuichi was like a blue butterfly dancing among the crowd, but it was accompanied by a shrill scream.

Although there was no splattering blood due to the high temperature, there was still a unique stench of burnt flesh.

"asshole!"

"hateful!"

"Kill him!"

Seeing their comrades die one by one, the Sand Ninja roared in terror and rage, and three Sand Ninja charged forward with swords.

However, they were too slow compared to Hoshino Shizuka. He easily killed the two of them, then leaped down from the sky, stepping on the shoulders of another Sand Ninja who was charging at him, breaking his legs.

Just then, a whooshing sound came from behind. Xingxia Xiuyi's foot blossomed with a fiery lotus, and his figure suddenly rose from the ground. The sand ninja he was stepping on had his shoulders blown off and was charred black.

Hoshino Hideichi leaped into the air to dodge the kunai that was flying towards him with explosive tags, but immediately a wind-style ninjutsu swept towards him, who was under control.

His figure disappeared again, and then reappeared on a Flying Thunder God Kunai.

However, there were no Sand Ninja nearby, and everyone had moved away from the area. In addition, some Sand Ninja had already locked onto Flying Thunder God Kunai.

The moment Hoshinoichi appeared, a large number of shuriken flew towards him.

Hoshinobi Shuichi pulled out the Flying Thunder God Kunai stuck in the ground and casually threw it out. Just as it was about to be hit by a Sand Ninja's shuriken, his figure disappeared again, and then appeared next to a Sand Ninja along with the Flying Thunder God Kunai.

The Ame-no-Mao sword was already sheathed. Hoshinoichi grabbed the Sand Ninja next to him by the neck and threw him into the crowd.

But behind him, the attack came again.

His figure disappeared again, and Hoshino Shizuka reappeared among the many Sand Ninjas he had thrown into the crowd. Swords and blades clashed, limbs and severed arms flew everywhere, and shrill screams rose and fell.

In the blink of an eye, he had killed several Sand Ninja.

Rumble!

The roaring sound of air friction came from all directions, and wind-style ninjutsu surrounded them from all sides. Hoshino Shuichi immediately used Flying Thunder God again.

At this moment, he appeared beside the eagle that the shadow clone in the air had transformed into.

As he landed, Hoshino Hideichi took two deep breaths, then released the Yin Seal between his brows and activated the Hundred Healings Technique.

In an instant, a brilliant blue light shone on his forehead and quickly spread, enveloping his entire body.

A massive surge of chakra erupted, covering his entire body in a deep blue, semi-transparent chakra robe, forming a high-collared divine robe with lotus patterns. Then, clusters of bright blue flames swayed up from it.

This is a chakra pattern formed by combining Yin Release and Fire Release. It feels more realistic and refined than the previous combination of Fire Release and Wind Release, and it is also easier to control.

This was only possible after the development of the Fire Nether Lock sealing technique, which brought the manipulation of flame forms to a new level.

Perhaps it shouldn't be called Fire Release Chakra Mode at this moment, but rather... Flame Release Chakra Mode!

A fiery lotus bloomed beneath her feet, and Xingxia Xiuyi's falling figure stopped, hovering in mid-air, looking down at the many Sand Ninja below.

At this moment, looking at the severed limbs scattered on the ground and at his companions who had gone from anger to terror, Fei Lian finally realized that Sunagakure had underestimated this genius from Konoha.

This guy is even more terrifying than that Yellow Flash from Konoha!

Moreover, is someone that age even human?

Isn't it some kind of monster that turned into it?

Even Hiren, a veteran elite Jonin of Sunagakure, couldn't help but have such thoughts at this moment.

Meanwhile, the remaining sixty-odd Sand Ninjas around them looked up at Hoshino Shizuka in the sky, and each of them subconsciously swallowed hard.

At this moment, Hoshino Shuichi, shrouded in distorted sunlight, looked to them like a fire god from mythology!

"This guy isn't even human!"

A Sand Ninja unconsciously made a sound.

……

In the air, Hoshinobi Shuichi, his sword already sheathed, looked down at the Sand Ninja and laughed, "That was just a warm-up; the real battle is about to begin."

"So, are you all ready?"

"Of course, if you lay down your weapons and surrender to me, then this battle can end."

Ding-dong!

A Sand Ninja's weapon suddenly fell to the ground.

Fei Lian immediately shouted, "Don't listen to him!"

"This guy just knows space-time ninjutsu!"

"No matter how powerful he is, his chakra is limited!"

"If we work together, we can definitely defeat him!"

Then, one by one, the Sand Village Jonin echoed this sentiment.

"Kill this guy and avenge the others!"

"Use large-scale wind stun! Don't let him get close!"

……

The fighting spirit of the Sand Ninja is returning.

Hoshita Hideichi smiled and nodded: "Very good!"

That's more like it!

The next moment, Hoshinoichi appeared on the Flying Thunder God Kunai that was stuck in the ground.

Click!

The ground beneath Hoshino Shizuka's feet cracked open, and five thick fissures rapidly spread outwards, continuously extending into new fissures, like tree trunks sprouting new branches, while blue flames shone through the cracks.

"Kill him!"

"Attack together!"

"We absolutely cannot let him escape this time!"

The Sand Ninja roared, spitting saliva, their faces contorted in rage.

With shuriken and wind-style ninjutsu, they all swept over Shuichi under the starlight.

At that moment, the Sand Ninja seemed not to have seen Hoshinobi Shuichi's attack.

If we take this guy down first, the attack will be interrupted!

Or... let's perish together!

Splash!

The sound of chains swaying rang out, and from Hoshino Shuichi's back, deep blue chakra chains burning with blue flames roared out.

The six fiery nether chains instantly formed a circular barrier, blocking all the attacks.

Boom boom boom!

From the cracks that spread across the earth, pillars of pale blue fire shot out. Some Sand Ninja were unable to dodge in time and were instantly burned into skeletons, which then scattered all over the ground.

Most importantly, at this moment, the flames erupting from the outermost edge merged into one, forming a blue flame light curtain like a high wall, surrounding and enveloping all the Sand Ninja.

"Fight your way out!"

Feilian opened his mouth and spat out a dense barrage of wind blades, slicing through the curtain of flames, but before he could rush out, the gap quickly healed.

Not far away, a Sand Ninja attempted to break through using the same method, but was ignited by the Healing Flame Barrier, turning into a torch and emitting a shrill scream.

Immediately afterward, Fei Lian saw flower buds appear on the flame screens and pillars of fire, and then bloom.

Because it did not incorporate the power of Wind Release, the lotus blossoming this time unleashed a pure high-temperature shockwave.

In an instant, the air and light in the entire area shrouded by the wall of flames seemed to be stirred into a pot of porridge, and space and time seemed to be violently turbulent. The Sand Ninja inside were enveloped by the high temperature and impacted by the terrible and chaotic shock waves, exploding and blooming like fireworks.

When the space reached its limit, all the power surged upwards, forming a terrifying, massive pillar of light, hundreds of meters thick, that shot into the sky, piercing through the clouds and could be clearly seen even from dozens of miles away.

It was at this moment that the roar suddenly erupted, deafeningly loud!

Fire Release: Fire Prison Lotus!

This time, Hoshino Shuichi abandoned the method of rapidly injecting Fire Release chakra into the ground through swords.

At the moment this move was unleashed, Hoshino Shuichi's figure had already disappeared at the center of the explosion and appeared next to the eagle formed by his shadow clone in the air.

at the same time.

In the forest beside the battlefield, the face of White Zetsu appeared on a tree trunk, gazing at the blooming lotus and the pillar of light shooting into the sky, and couldn't help but exclaim from the bottom of his heart: "What beautiful ninjutsu! What terrifying power!"

"This kind of ninjutsu is completely beyond the capabilities of ordinary ninjas, isn't it?"

"Is this kid really only 12 years old?"

"This news should be reported to Lord Madara as soon as possible; he will surely be very interested."

Just as White Zetsu's face disappeared, Hoshino Shuichi's figure suddenly appeared in the forest. Blue lotus flowers bloomed on his body, and as the lotus flowers bloomed one after another, power continued to erupt, propelling his body forward at high speed.

boom!

The large tree where White Zetsu was located was instantly destroyed by Hoshino Shuuichi's punch.

He crouched down, and Xingxia Xiu pointed a single finger at the ground, activating the Listening Technique.

However, nothing was found.

"Is it an illusion?"

Hoshita Shuichi pretended to be talking to himself.

In reality, he was absolutely certain that he had found White Zetsu, but he didn't use the Listening Technique; instead, he used Heat Vision.

Because the thermal radiation I observed was unusual, I immediately thought of White Zetsu and Black Zetsu.

Unfortunately, the Flying Thunder God mark he left in the forest was too far away, and even at his maximum speed, he couldn't reach it in time.

But what Hoshino Shuichi didn't know was that the White Zetsu, who was currently fused with the tree roots and buried in the ground, was terrified: "This guy has such keen intuition!"

"Luckily, I don't sweat, otherwise I'd be drenched in a cold sweat by now!"

"Originally, I was just monitoring a genius from the Uchiha clan, but I never expected to gain anything from it."

"This guy is so strong, Lord Madara will definitely be very interested, right?"

With these thoughts in mind, White Zetsu moved swiftly underground.

……

At the Sunagakure headquarters, Chiyo, who had just stepped out of the medical camp, suddenly turned around and saw a pillar of light shooting into the sky in the distance.

"That place is..."

Chiyo's expression changed, and she had a bad feeling.

She immediately rushed back to her command post and assigned three ninja squads to investigate.
