"Hey, did you see that clearly?"

After finishing the ninjutsu, Tianyun turned his head.

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "I've got it!"

Tianyun smiled and said, "Then give it a try. With your talent, you should have no problem."

Without saying a word, Hoshino Shizuka raised his hands and formed a hand seal.

Zi-Yin-Xu-Chou-Mao-Yin.

Six seals were slowly formed by Hoshino Shizuka over two seconds. Then, he opened his mouth and spat out three fireballs that flew off at an off-center speed, creating three craters in the ground.

"As expected of Shuichi!"

Tianyun smiled and praised.

Hoshita Shuichi immediately shamelessly asked, "Does your sister have any other Fire Release ninjutsu?"

Upon hearing this, Tianyun immediately bent down and tapped Xingxia Xiu on the forehead, then put his hands on his hips and said, "Little guy, don't be too greedy!"

Even with her thick skin, Xingxia Xiu couldn't help but blush.

However, having even one Fire Release ninjutsu is already quite good. If he masters this ninjutsu, he'll only need one more ninjutsu to become a "Fire Release Expert."

"We must repay Tianyun properly..."

As Hoshino Shuichi left the shop to meet up with Kakashi and the others, he secretly made plans.

Upon arriving at their destination, Hoshino Shuichi immediately engaged in a taijutsu duel with Kakashi.

Although he ultimately lost, the gap between him and Kakashi is narrowing, which is a very good trend.

With the added advantages of being self-disciplined, academically gifted, and physically strong, coupled with persistent training, Hoshino Shuichi believed that he would eventually surpass Kakashi in physical skills.

After all, although Kakashi is quite good at taijutsu, he now focuses more on swordsmanship and ninjutsu.

The next day, Hoshino Shizuka arrived at the Tianxiang store early in the morning as usual.

However, besides a few detonating tags, he also brought a gift today.

"What is this thing?"

"Is there anything to eat?"

"Or a toy?"

Tianyun held up an egg-shaped, dark object and examined it closely.

"No, these are ninja tools!"

Hoshino Hideichi chuckled and pointed to the ninja-themed grenade in Tenyun's hand, explaining, "The outer shell is plastic, and it contains tiny steel balls."

"Of course, the most important thing is the detonator."

Tianyun exclaimed in surprise, "Ninja tools? Explosive tags?"

"Is it through an explosion that the steel balls inside cause the damage?"

Hoshita Shuichi immediately gave a thumbs up: "As expected of Sister Tianyun!"

"Of course."

Tianyun smiled arrogantly, but then his expression turned solemn as he examined the object in his hand again and discovered the detonating tag.

It is in the middle, rolled into a long strip and inserted into a hollow tube in the middle.

This means that you can freely choose the number of detonators to control the power of the explosion.

Tianyun quickly envisioned the scenario in his mind.

After the object in his hand exploded, the steel balls inside scattered haphazardly in all directions due to the shockwave.

This is definitely harder to dodge than a simple detonation tag.

The more detonators used, the greater the explosive power, and the faster the steel balls fly, with a greater killing distance...

Tianyun suddenly shivered, looked up at Xingxia Xiuyi with his handsome face, clear eyes, and gentle smile, and asked incredulously, "Xiuyi, this... you made it?"

Hoshita Hideichi smiled and said, "Of course."

"Sister, you taught me ninjutsu, so I'm giving you this as a gift."

Giving a powerful weapon as a gift to a girl... Tianyun was both amused and touched.

Because she was very clear about the value of this thing.

This is something that could change their family's status in Konoha.

Because, assuming the intelligence remains intact, this thing could be a game-changer in any war.

Perhaps that's a slight exaggeration.

But when it comes to the Hokage, he will definitely praise him like that.

Now, we need to test its power first.

"Come on, let's try it out in the back!"

Tianyun tried to pull Xingxia Xiuyi away, but Xingxia Xiuyi stopped her instead: "This place is not suitable for the experiment. We need a place with cover and we need to set up some targets."

"So clever!"

Tianyun pinched Xingxia Xiuyi's cheek, then readily agreed.

After half an hour.

The two appeared in a grove of trees.

In a relatively open space, seven or eight wooden targets are erected and arranged in a circle.

About twenty meters away, Hoshino Shuichi and Tenyun stood beside a large tree.

Hoshino Hideichi raised his hand and then threw the grenade in his hand.

The grenade entered the circle of wooden targets in the blink of an eye, and Hoshino Hideichi raised one hand and shouted: Explode!

The moment the grenade exploded, Hoshino Shuichi and Tengu hid behind a large tree.

Then they heard a series of rapid crackling sounds and muffled thuds.

Even the tree they were hiding in made noises.

When everything was over, the two of them emerged from behind the tree and quickly went forward to check.

The wooden targets were all leaning and crooked, and each one was pierced by a bullet.

Looking at the nearby trees, they saw that each one was deeply embedded with steel balls, and the tree they had just dodged was no exception.

"It has a kill radius of at least 20 meters, and at this distance, no ninja could withstand such an attack."

Tianyun felt both surprise and fear.

She absolutely did not want to encounter such a powerful weapon.

Although ninjas don't stay in one place and their Body Flicker Technique is very fast, it's still far more threatening than a simple explosive tag.

If ambushed, one will surely die a horrible death when caught off guard.

If a steel ball pierces the body and hits a vital spot, even a medical ninja might not be able to save the person.

"Shuichi, are you really going to give this to me?"

Tianyun asked again.

Hoshita Hideichi smiled and nodded: "Of course!"

"A man's word is his bond!"

Tianyun chuckled, then leaned down and lightly touched Xiuyi's forehead with her red lips under the starlight: "Thank you, Xiuyi!"

Looking at the sky, Hoshino Hideichi could only sigh inwardly at his own powerlessness and admit defeat.

The two then cleaned up the scene.

The wooden target is destroyed; the steel balls need to be collected.

Tianyun felt that this matter definitely needed to be reported to the Third Hokage, but it was not appropriate to launch hand grenades at the moment.

Such things are not difficult to make, and information about them can be easily leaked.

The Fourth Shinobi World War had only ended a few years ago, and the situation in the Shinobi World was beginning to stabilize.

However, the Second Shinobi World War left behind many unresolved issues, and Tenyun believed that a major war would inevitably break out sooner or later.

That's when you should take out a grenade.

Selling weapons is mostly about retail sales; the real money comes from purchasing them from villages!

Produce and stockpile first!

Of course, Tianyun decided that for every grenade sold, Hoshino Shuichi would receive a share of the revenue.

Xingxia Xiu did not refuse this offer.

After doing that, his life returned to normal: going to school, training, and studying fire techniques.

He has always been very clear about what is important and crucial.
