After sealing the One-Tailed Beast, Hoshino Shuichi released all his shadow clones and then looked at Chiyo.

Put the puppet away for now, as for Chiyo...

Xingxia Xiu glanced northward and smiled.

After releasing the Fire Release chakra mode and sealing Chiyo, he carried her back to the Land of Rivers and sat down to rest in the forest.

"Um?"

Chiyo slowly awoke, and upon seeing Hoshishita Shuichi sitting there, her expression immediately changed: "Bunpuku and Shukaku..."

Hoshino Hideaki opened his eyes: "The result is already obvious."

"How...how is this possible?"

Chiyo found it hard to accept.

Hoshino Shuichi turned to look at Chiyo and said calmly, "Nothing is impossible."

"The First Hokage assigned the Tailed Beasts to Sunagakure back then, so it's only right that I take them back now."

Chiyo's gaze darkened, a sense of dread creeping in. She snapped, "Do you know what the consequences will be?"

"You're disrupting the balance of power in the ninja world!"

Hoshita Hideichi couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this: "Chiyo-senpai, may I ask how many great wars have broken out in the ninja world since the death of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju?"

Before Chiyo could speak, Hoshino Shuichi answered his own question, "Including this time, it's the third time."

"Leaving aside the present, considering the two major wars before that, which one wasn't larger in scale than the major wars of the Warring States period?"

"The balance of power in the ninja world was broken after the death of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju."

"The tailed beasts have also been completely reduced to weapons of war for the various ninja villages."

Chiyo looked at Hoshino Shita Shuichi and said in a deep voice, "So you want the ninja world to go back to the Warring States period?"

Hoshino Hideichi chuckled upon hearing this: "Then you overestimate me, senior. I don't have such great ambitions."

"To me, you are the invaders, and I am defending myself, nothing more."

"I'm just tired of war."

"Senior, you should know that I'm only 12 years old."

"Therefore, I want to end the war as soon as possible."

What Hoshino Shuichi said was a mix of truth and falsehood.

But Chiyo remained silent.

Only at this moment did she remember Hoshino Shizuka's age.

After a moment, Chiyo asked, "What do you want to do?"

"There can be no peace if one side of the village is taken away."

"You want to use the same method you used to threaten the third generation to threaten the fourth?"

"Your goal is utterly unattainable; my worth is incomparable to the outcome of this war."

Hoshita Hideichi smiled and said, "Senior is indeed my hostage, but he is only one of them."

"You alone can't threaten the Fourth Kazekage, but what about the entire Sunagakure village?"

Chiyo was shaken, but quickly regained her composure: "You can't do it!"

Hoshino Hideichi smiled knowingly, "You've seen my battle with Shukaku too."

"I possess the means to counter a Tailed Beast Ball, and how many Sand Ninja can withstand this?"

"Now that I've taken the One-Tailed Beast, only the Fourth Kazekage in the entire Sand Village can stand against me. And even he can only fight me in the desert."

Chiyo instantly understood: "Are you trying to stall the Fourth Kazekage?"

"If it's just the Fourth Kazekage, do you think Konoha can win quickly?"

Hoshita Shuichi shook his head: "The Fourth Kazekage can fight me alone?"

"He's not enough!"

"I can move freely in the air, and I can extract the chakra of the One-Tailed Beast for my own use."

"Can the Wind Shadow outlast me?"

At this moment, Hoshino Shuichi appeared extremely arrogant.

But Chiyo remained silent once again.

Although I don't want to admit it, this kid in front of me is clearly on par with the Kage of the major ninja villages, and ordinary ninjas simply can't fight against him.

Hoshino no longer spoke, lowering his eyes and silently recovering his chakra.

However, it is drawn from the tail and its strength is restored through the Bagua seal.

However, he could still freely use the Yin Seal on his abdomen to seal a small four-tailed creature, but now that there is a complete one-tailed creature, he has no way to do so.

But it doesn't matter. Anyway, I have an extra super power bank and the Yin seal on my forehead and heart. I can't compare to a monster like Hashirama Senju, but it's enough for now.

Time passes little by little.

Around 4 a.m., Hoshino Shuichi opened his eyes again.

The shadow clone's memories have returned, and the Fourth Kazekage is about to arrive with his army.

He stood up, knocked Chiyo unconscious, grabbed her, and took to the air, his steps creating lotus blossoms as he faced the army of the Fourth Kazekage.

……

The Fourth Kazekage, who was marching, suddenly frowned, stopped, and raised his hand.

The Sand Ninja army behind him immediately stopped and looked at the figure walking through the air.

"That is..."

"Konoha's Blue Flash!"

"That brat, Hoshino Shuichi!"

Exclamations of surprise rang out from the Sand Village ninja.

But soon, a sharp-eyed Sand Shinobi noticed that Hoshinobi Shuichi, who was walking in the air, was carrying someone in his hand, and his eyes widened: "That's... Lady Chiyo!"

"That guy actually captured Lady Chiyo!"

In an instant, cries of alarm erupted from the Sand Ninja, and the entire army was thrown into turmoil.

The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, narrowed his eyes, a hidden anger surging within him: "This guy..."

Soon, Hoshinobi Hideichi arrived before the Sand Ninja army, and smiling at the Fourth Kazekage and thousands of Sand Ninja, he said, "Good evening, Kazekage!"

"I never expected to see you as the Kazekage again."

Rasa stared at Hoshino Shuichi: "I never imagined that kid from back then would have reached this point."

"Release Chiyo. What are your conditions? We can discuss them!"

Hoshino Hideaki asked with a smile, "Is it possible to withdraw the troops?"

Luo Sha's gaze darkened: "You know this is impossible."

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "Of course I know."

"Therefore, one Chiyo as a hostage is simply not enough."

"So, Lord Kazekage, what do you think of taking the entire Sand Village hostage?"

The sand ninja, enraged, shouted, "What nonsense are you spouting, you brat?"

"Put Lady Chiyo down right now, or we will absolutely not let you go!"

Hoshinobi Shuichi's gaze shifted, locking onto the Sand Ninja who had spoken, his expression turning cold: "I was talking to the Kazekage, and you dare to interrupt?"

"Don't you know the rules!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a scream rang out.

The Sand Ninja around them were horrified to discover that their companion, who had just spoken, was engulfed in terrifying blue flames.

Although the flames were quickly extinguished with wind release, the ninja's skin was severely burned.

Suddenly, streams of gold dust shot into the sky, attempting to capture Hoshino Hideaki.

But Hoshino Shuichi easily dodged it.

Standing high in the sky, Hoshino looked at Rasa and said, "Lord Kazekage, it seems I need to demonstrate my abilities."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand, chakra condensed, then expanded, accompanied by a piercing buzzing sound.

Then, Hoshino Shuichi infused it with Fire Release chakra.

Wind and Fire Wheel Spiral Shuriken!

"This level of chakra..."

"This must be the ninjutsu mentioned in the intelligence reports that can rival the power of a tailed beast!"

……

The Jonin of the Sand Village were all alarmed, and then they all gave orders to prepare Wind Release ninjutsu.

In the air, Hoshino Hideichi waved his arm, and the Wind and Fire Light Wheel Spiral Hand Sword in his hand immediately roared diagonally towards the Sand Ninja army below.

Under the command of numerous Jonin, the Sand Ninja unleashed their Wind Release techniques.

Wind Release - Great Breakthrough!

Wind Release: Net!

Wind Release: Great Net!

Wind Release: Kamaitachi!

The storm swept through, and it was enormous.

However, to the astonishment of the Sand Ninja, Hoshinobi Shuichi's Rasenshuriken easily sliced ​​through the storm without any effect whatsoever.

Compared to Wind Release?

The Rasengan is the strongest Wind Release nature transformation!

The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, noticed this and immediately shouted, "Use kunai and explosive tags!"

Many Sand Ninja immediately took out kunai carrying explosive tags and threw them into the air.

Rumble!

The numerous explosions did indeed shake the Wind and Fire Wheel Spiral Hand Sword, causing it to lose stability and subsequently expand in the air.

The intense light formed a ball of light that engulfed the Sand Ninja. Rasa immediately raised his hands, and a large amount of gold dust shot into the sky, forming a shield.

Meanwhile, those in the Sand Village who knew Earth Release techniques also used their ninjutsu, and high walls rose up on the outer perimeter.

But as the intense light enveloped the area, the high walls cracked and crumbled.

Soon, the power of the Wind and Fire Light Wheel Spiral Shuriken struck the gold dust; the power of the wind cut through it, and the power of the fire jutsu melted it.

A large amount of gold dust turned into molten gold and flowed down, constantly replenished by cinnabar, completely blocking the power of the Wind and Fire Wheel Spiral Hand Sword.

"Two natures of wind and fire... This guy is truly amazing."

Luo Sha felt heavy-hearted.

It's already this powerful even without a direct hit; if it did hit directly, it would be even harder to defend against.

"This guy said he'd use the entire village as a bargaining chip, so is he going to use this ninjutsu in the village?"

"We absolutely cannot let him do that!"

Luo Sha removed the gold dust and looked at Xiuyi under the stars in the sky, feeling helpless.

There's no way to launch a surprise attack from this distance.

"And Shukaku too, could it be...?"

Luo Sha felt an unusual sense of unease: "That bastard!"

"Lord Fengying, you have already seen it."

Hoshita Shuichi chuckled and said, "If this ninjutsu were used in Sunagakure, it would be quite a spectacle!"

"You bastard!"

"Absolutely not!"

"That brat deserves to die!"

"Lord Kazekage, kill him!"

……

The Sand Village ninja were enraged.

Their relatives, lovers, and children are all in Sunagakure. The release of such a ninjutsu will inevitably result in heavy casualties, and ordinary ninjutsu simply cannot withstand it.

That kind of disaster is unimaginable!

The Sand Ninja, their eyes blazing with fury, stared intently at Hoshino Shuichi, wishing they could devour him.

Hoshino Shuichi remained very calm.

He loves the sight of these people hating him to death, yet being unable to get rid of him.

Rasa now fully understands that Hoshino Shuichi is trying to use this method to hold him and all the Sand Ninja behind him back.

"Shuichi Hoshino, the One-Tailed Beast is in your hands too, isn't it?"

Luo Sha asked.

Hoshino Shuichi nodded honestly and admitted, "The One-Tail was assigned to Sunagakure by the First Hokage. Now that Sunagakure has launched a war against Konoha, it is only reasonable for me to take back the One-Tail."

Luo Shaxin sank to the bottom, because he had completely lost the power to restrain Xingxia Xiuyi.

This brat has got his weakness figured out!

Many Sand Ninja were filled with hatred, but there was nothing they could do.

Hoshita Shuichi then threw Chiyo down from the air, turned around and walked towards Sunagakure: "Kage-sama, you don't want... Sunagakure to become ruins, do you?"

Rasa caught Chiyo with gold dust, then handed her to the person behind him, his gaze fixed on Hoshino Shuichi's back.

Chiyo quickly regained her senses, but immediately shouted, "Get away from me immediately! Hoshino Shuichi left a chakra inside me that could explode at any moment!"

Many Sand Ninjas paled and retreated, then glared resentfully at Hoshinobi Shuichi, who was walking towards the Sand Village step by step.

"Fourth Kazekage, what should we do now?"

"Yeah, are we just going to let this bastard do this?"

……

One by one, the Sand Ninja began to ask questions.

Luo Sha shouted in a deep voice, "For the sake of the village, everyone, come back to the village with me!"

"As for Kikyo Mountain, I believe they can handle it!"

The numerous Sand Ninja remained silent.

This is the only option right now.

So the Sand Ninja followed Hoshinobi Shuichi and quickly headed towards Sunagakure.

Chiyo, who was lagging behind, couldn't help but turn around and stare blankly at Hoshino Shuichi, who looked like a superhuman figure under the rising sun.

……

On the way back east from Konoha, Asuka couldn't help but turn back, her face full of worry: "Shisui, is Shuichi really not going to do something so foolish?"

Uchiha Shisui smiled gently and said, "Don't worry, he knows what he's doing."

"Whether it's here or in the village, there are still people he can't let go of."

"You know how powerful the Flying Thunder God Technique is, right? No one can stop him!"

Asuka turned around and nodded silently, but the worry in her heart still lingered.

As the sun rises in the east, Mount Kikyo comes into view, and the vanguard of Konoha has already begun to clash with the Sand Ninja who are besieging Mount Kikyo.

However, Koharu Utatane received news of Orochimaru, so she did not directly attack Kikyo Castle. Instead, she set up camp on the border of the Land of Fire, establishing a defensive line to support Orochimaru and his forces in Kikyo Castle.

This is not only about mutual cover between the inside and outside, but also about ensuring logistical support.

Half an hour later, the Sand Ninja who had been chasing them arrived.

The balance of power between the two sides was leveled again, and a stalemate ensued.

……

Outside Sunagakure, at a Sunagakure stronghold, Hoshinobi Shuichi forcefully occupied the place and then took out sugar-salt water and soldier rations from the sealing scroll.

Above Sunagakure, shadow clones transformed into eagles circled, watching the Sunagakure ninjas below setting up "anti-aircraft weapons."

These are some powerful crossbows.

But for Shuichi Hoshino, it was better than nothing.

……

After a simple breakfast, Hoshino Shuichi thought for a moment, then created a shadow clone and quietly left.

He needs to keep an eye on Sunagakure, preventing the Kazekage from leaving and completely depriving the Sunagakure ninja of their support for the war.

But we also need to keep an eye on the Iwa ninja.

Even Hoshino Shuichi was preparing to ambush them at Kannabi Bridge.

However, he speculated that the Iwa ninja had probably already deployed forces on the border to keep an eye on the Kannabi Bridge.

However, it wasn't particularly difficult for Hoshino Shuichi to infiltrate Kannabi Bridge.

"First, scout ahead. If there's an opportunity, plant explosive tags and cut off the Iwa ninja's supply line when the time is right."

Hoshita Shuichi secretly made a plan.

Destroying the Kannabi Bridge now is clearly pointless.

It will only have sufficient strategic value after the Iwa ninjas send troops into the Land of Grass and the Kannabi Bridge becomes an important supply line!
