Konoha's lexicon of ninjas

Chapter 141 I am invincible below the Kage level! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

The headquarters of the Mist Ninja.

Commander Hozuki Shingetsu, in his forties, stepped out of his tent after hearing his subordinates' exclamations. His gaze fell upon the towering pillar of light that seemed to pierce the clouds, and he frowned. "It seems the Sand Village has encountered a formidable foe. Who could it be?"

"Have all three legendary Sannin been mobilized?"

"Still the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Then Hozuki Shingetsu looked to the other side.

Fortunately, there was no major commotion, so it seems we haven't encountered any formidable enemies!

"It seems that Konoha is more wary of Sunagakure."

Hozuki Shingetsu thought to himself, "That makes sense. The Third Hokage of Konoha isn't stupid; he wouldn't think our attack only has one point."

"Konoha probably thinks this is a feint attack, right?"

"Very well, the more we underestimate Konoha, the weaker its power will become."

……

The Mist Ninja's attack direction was deep within the dense forest.

Blue lightning flashed, and roars erupted intermittently, interspersed with piercing screams.

A large number of Mist Ninja were chasing after Hoshino Shuichi, but Hoshino Shuichi easily countered and killed them one by one with his superb speed and powerful swordsmanship.

Here, because it is a shadow clone, Hoshino Shuichi also adopts a completely different tactic from his original body.

He waited until the Mist Ninja troops entered the forest before attacking, fighting and retreating all the way, constantly wearing down the Mist Ninja's strength in the process.

Rumble!

As the water surged from behind, Hoshino Hideichi landed and turned around. Immediately, a high wall rose up in front of him, blocking the oncoming water.

He then casually formed two hand seals, opened his mouth, and spat out a high-speed jet of water, instantly slicing two Mist Ninjas who had just crossed the high wall in half.

Splash!

The Mist Ninja transformed into two streams of water and fell down. In the surging water on both sides, a Mist Ninja appeared on each side, having already completed hand seals. The two water dragons rose up and then swooped down towards Hoshino Shuichi.

Snapped!

Hoshika Hideichi put his hands together, and the water vapor around his body condensed and rotated at high speed. Then two water dragons condensed and emerged, and the electric light from Hoshita Hideka's body was also injected into the water dragons.

Water Release + Lightning Release - Lightning Water Dragon Bullet!

Rumble!

The four water dragons collided, the water flow exploded, and the lightning scattered.

The two Mist Ninjas who used Water Release immediately jumped into the air and retreated. Each Mist Ninja standing on the tree threw kunai carrying detonating talismans.

But before they could detonate the detonating talisman, blazing white flames suddenly appeared on their bodies.

Fire escape - the art of plain burning.

However, this was not the first time Hoshinobi had used this technique, and the Mist Ninja immediately used Water Release to extinguish it.

But Hoshino Shuichi transformed into a bolt of lightning, easily dodging the flying kunai in a flash.

The two Mist Ninjas standing on the tree were about to retreat when they suddenly froze, staring wide-eyed at Hoshino Shuichi who was charging towards them.

With a high-speed flow of Wind Release chakra in his palms, Xingxia Xiu waved his hands, and the blood lines on the necks of two Mist Ninja exploded.

Hoshinobi Shuichi continued to flee, while the Mist Ninjas chased after him angrily.

Wind Release, Fire Release, Lightning Release, Water Release, Earth Release, Genjutsu—at this moment, Hoshino Shuichi displayed all the ordinary ninjutsu he had learned to the fullest.

Their superb speed, terrifying reaction ability, astonishing casting speed, and all-around abilities rendered the Mist Ninja useless, even with their overwhelming numerical advantage.

Because there's simply no way to completely encircle them.

Moreover, within this forest, Hoshino Shuichi also has the advantage of the terrain.

Watching Hoshita Shuichi flee ahead, the commander of this unit, Hozuki Metsuin, couldn't help but grit his teeth.

He had fought with Hoshino Hideichi before, and if it weren't for his water transformation technique, he would have been killed.

Even so, he was still countered by lightning-style techniques. If it weren't for his many companions, he would have certainly died by now.

Now he can only rely on his numerical advantage to continuously deplete this guy's chakra.

"Once we catch this guy, we'll make sure he experiences the most brutal water torture in the world!"

Hozuki Miejin snorted coldly to himself.

Just then, the light in front of them brightened.

This forest has come to an end!

Hozuki Metsubou's eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted, "Speed ​​up! Surround him! We absolutely cannot let him escape!"

Hoshita Shuichi had already reached the end of the forest first.

He suddenly turned around, stood on the tree branch, clasped his hands together, and water vapor rapidly condensed around him, the water flowed and lightning flashed.

Immediately afterwards, three water dragons crackling with electricity emerged from the rapidly spinning water, dragging massive currents of water as they rushed toward the numerous pursuing Mist Ninja.

"spread!"

The Mist Ninja at the forefront didn't have time to form hand seals, and the lightning water dragon with a diameter of over ten meters couldn't be taken down with just a few explosive tags.

So the Mist Ninjas who were at the forefront scattered and fled, while the Mist Ninjas who were chasing behind quickly formed hand seals, opened their mouths and spat out streams of water, which then surged and collided with the three lightning water dragons.

Rumble!

The water poured down in all directions, spreading rapidly with electric light. The Mist Ninjas quickly dodged into the trees to avoid the electrified water.

"The final wave...begin!"

Hoshino Shuichi, feeling his chakra nearly depleted, took a deep breath and burst forth, gliding rapidly across the water's surface.

Water Instantaneous Movement!

shhhhhh!

Streams of high-pressure water jets shot out, attacking the mist ninjas on the trees.

Blood splattered, limbs fell, and screams echoed everywhere.

The ninjas in the trees also retaliated, throwing ninja tools, detonating explosive tags, or attacking with ninjutsu, but Hoshino Shuichi, who was riding the water at high speed, dodged them all.

Moreover, a large number of trees were cut down by the Water Severing Wave technique, falling like wheat being harvested, and the Mist Ninja standing on them had to fall down as well.

Zi la la!

The sound of a thousand birds chirping rang out, and lightning erupted from his limbs. The Thousand Birds Instant Body returned to his body. Hoshino Hideaki clasped his hands together, and a large number of water droplets floated up from the water beneath him, with lightning flowing between them, before shooting towards the surrounding Mist Ninja.

Heaven weeps and lightning strikes!

This technique adds lightning to the Water Release: Heaven's Cry technique, making the water droplets fly faster and have greater attack power.

Although Hoshino Shuichi had never practiced the Water Release: Heaven's Cry technique before, with his chakra control and shape-shifting abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for him to do it.

At this moment, it was like a strong wind and rain, and the rain hit the banana trees, making a continuous popping sound.

Unable to dodge, every mist ninja twitched and fell down.

Those hit in vital areas died instantly, while those not hit in vital areas were paralyzed and fell into the water without even being able to scream.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen Mist Ninjas fell into the water.

At this moment, Hozuki Miejin, who had avoided the Heavenly Cry Lightning, saw the lightning on Hoshino Shuichi's body dissipate and he stopped on the water's surface. He immediately created a water clone and used the Body Flicker Technique to appear behind Hoshino Shuichi. He raised his hand and pointed his index finger at the back of Hoshino Shuichi's head.

The art of water iron cannon!

The highly condensed liquid on the tip of the index finger emerged, and Hoshita Shuichi turned his head and smiled.

The next moment, Hoshino Shizuka transformed into a burst of intense electric light that radiated outwards.

Hozuki's water clone was directly pierced by the lightning and turned into water as it fell. The Mist Ninja who had just fallen into the water convulsed again as the electric current swept over them, and wisps of smoke rose from their bodies.

"Lightning Release clone?"

"Impossible! He just used Water Release ninjutsu!"

"Could it be... a shadow clone?"

"Quickly find his true form!"

One by one, the fog-covered ninjas shouted loudly.

The Mist Ninja responsible for sensing the enemy's movements widened his eyes, swallowed hard, and exclaimed, "This...this is the real body?"

Hozuki's Extinction Seal and other ninja were stunned.

A ninja from the Mist asked incredulously, "So, we've been fighting a shadow clone the whole time?"

The Mist Ninja in charge of perception trembled as he said, "I'm afraid... I'm afraid so."

Instantly, dozens of Mist Ninja, including Hozuki's Extinction Seal, fell silent.

Hozuki's gaze swept over the Mist Ninja, silently counting their numbers, before his heart ached.

41!

41 people were killed or injured!

But the opponent was just a shadow clone!

This is simply...

Hozuki Miejin found it hard to accept; his more than thirty years of ninja experience told him that this was absolutely impossible.

It must have been that brat from Konoha who created a shadow clone to distract them while his real body escaped, but they just didn't notice.

Hozuki Metsuboujin took a deep breath, suppressing his inner agitation, and ordered, "Save them immediately!"

The Mist Ninja searched frantically for any surviving comrades, while Hozuki, after a moment's thought, asked, "Does anyone know who this guy is?"

One of the Mist ninjas, after hearing this, said, "Lord of the Annihilation Seal, this guy is very likely that genius from Konoha, Hoshino Shuichi."

"A 6-year-old Chunin, an 11-year-old Jonin!"

Hozuki Miejin frowned: "It's him?"

It wasn't that he didn't know the name Hoshino Shizuka, but the guy just now didn't look like a kid of eleven or twelve at all.

"Among those of similar age, only Hoshino Shuichi is like him!"

"This guy even has a bounty on his head from Iwagakure and Sunagakure!"

Hozuki Miejin nodded and shouted, "Then remember this guy!"

"Sooner or later, he'll pay the price, he'll pay for his fallen comrades!"

The numerous Mist Ninjas immediately rose up in excitement and responded with a cheer.

Then Hozuki Miein ordered, "Suiyun, return to headquarters immediately and report the situation here to Lord Shingetsu!"

The young ninja named Shuiyun immediately accepted the order and turned to leave.

……

At the Sand Village headquarters, after hearing the report from her subordinates who had gone to investigate the situation, Chiyo suddenly stood up, and the other Sand Village Jonin inside the tent were also extremely shocked.

"They...they're all dead?"

The Sand Ninja who returned to report was pale-faced: "There were no survivors on the battlefield, and the corpses were all mangled, which appears to be a terrifying Fire Release attack."

"But after a rough count, aside from the infiltration team, including Lord Feilian, everyone... is dead!"

"Moreover, based on the traces on the battlefield, it is very likely that only Hoshino Shuichi was involved."

"And that guy hasn't left yet..."

Upon hearing this, Chiyo clenched her fist until her knuckles turned white.

A hundred men were wiped out just like that, and most likely by one person. It's simply...

Chiyo took a deep breath to calm herself and shouted, "Break camp immediately!"

"All troops move!"

The Jonin were immediately startled upon hearing this: "Lady Chiyo, this..."

Chiyo raised her hand to stop the person who was about to speak, and said in a deep voice, "Our intentions are already very clear."

"Of course, there's nothing wrong with that; Konoha was prepared for it."

"The key question is, how many people do we need to send across the Land of Rivers to investigate Konoha's border defenses?"

"There is only one way now, which is to bring a large army close to the border of Konoha and compress Konoha's territory."

"Even if we have to fight an intelligence war, we will minimize our losses."

"It's clear that Konoha's current strategy is to first turn the Land of River into a battlefield that gradually weakens us."

The Sand Shinobi listened in silence, then one of them asked, "That guy named Hoshita Shuichi, doesn't Lord Chiyo have the confidence to take him down with her puppet army?"

Chiyo gave the speaker a cold glance: "Even I could never face hundreds of elite troops unscathed, not even with the puppet troops."

"Also, do you think I can defeat the Third Kazekage by leading a puppet army?"

Many Sand Ninja were stunned. They hadn't expected that Chiyo, the Third Kazekage, would be compared to that brat from Konoha, and that the brat was considered to be on the same level as the Third Kazekage.

Chiyo shouted, "You must understand that this youngest Jonin in Konoha, and even the youngest in the ninja world, has already exceeded the scope of a regular ninja."

"Even the White Fang of Konoha back then didn't have his abilities!"

After saying that, Chiyo ordered, "Inform the Kirigakure of our decision; I think their losses will be considerable as well."

"We all underestimated Konoha!"

……

Inside the forest, Hoshino Shuichi, who was resting, received a memory feedback from his shadow clone.

"With the support of the Yin Seal, I should indeed be considered to have broken away from the ranks of ordinary ninjas."

"Without the Yin Seal's chakra, I wouldn't be able to use Fire Release or Flame Release chakra modes with my own chakra, and I wouldn't be able to unleash my full potential."

"So, at its core, it's all about chakra, it's about constitution..."

"But even without the Yin Seal's chakra, when I use ninjutsu without hand seals, my full range of abilities... I am fully capable of being an elite Jonin, and an all-rounder at that."

Hoshita Shuichi secretly assessed: "And all of them..."

"Invincible below Kage level, one-for-one trade with those above Kage level?"

Hoshino Shuichi felt a little smug.

If compared to Itachi Uchiha, who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan at the same age, he wouldn't be bad.

Even Itachi Uchiha's Susanoo poses a threat to him, as does Amaterasu, but the most dangerous is Tsukuyomi.

Moreover, he hadn't used his full strength just now.

The Xuanbi Ancient God Seal was useless; the Wind Release: Rasengan, the Wind and Fire Light Wheel: Rasengan, and the Lava Release: Rasengan were all ineffective.

"not enough!"

"That's not enough..."

Hoshino Shuichi suppressed his slight elation.

How can it be enough if we don't step on the Sage of Six Paths and suppress Kaguya Otsutsuki with a flick of our wrist?

The goal should be the stars and the sea, and the imperial harem!

And Madara Uchiha, who loved clubbing and dancing, is he still on a ventilator, right?

The fact that she could control the Mist Ninja to transplant the Three-Tails into Rin Nohara's body and even set a cursed seal means she can still move.

"Is it to wear the White Zetsu bio-armor to maintain life?"

Hoshino Shizuka's thoughts drifted far away.

Or rather, the person he fears most in the ninja world right now is Uchiha Madara, who is on the verge of death.

Nagato's Rinnegan is very powerful, but he's still too inexperienced.

Thinking of these people gave Hoshino Shuichi even more motivation.

The achievements we have made so far are really insignificant.

If I could take on the Allied Shinobi Forces one-on-one like Madara Uchiha, then I would be considered to have barely succeeded.

When will we be able to capture tailed beasts as pets? That would be something to be proud of.

……

Collecting his thoughts, Hoshino Hideichi created a shadow clone and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to head towards Ye Cang and the others.

The war is far from over!
