An hour and a half later, Hoshino Shuichi completed the upgrade of Yekura's cursed seal.

Yekura also had a nutritious meal, but the way she looked at Hoshino Shuichi was a little strange.

How did he learn so many secret techniques at such a young age?

After washing up, and looking at the stunningly beautiful Yekura, Hoshino Shuichi simply said, "Let's go back to Konoha now!"

Yekura hesitated for a moment: "Lord Shuichi, isn't this too hasty?"

Hoshino Hideichi reached out and pinched Yekura's cheek: "I've already told the dean and the others about this beforehand, and they all really welcome you."

Before Yekura could speak again, Hoshino Shuichi left a shadow clone and disappeared from the experimental base with Yekura.

Konoha Village.

After bringing Yekura home, Hoshino Shuichi immediately created a shadow clone to report to Sarutobi Shinnosuke.

It was already close to ten o'clock.

Not long after the two returned, Yakushi Nonou and Asuka also returned together. They were taken aback when they saw Yekura, but then greeted her with smiles.

"You must be Yekura, I'm Yakushi Nonou."

Asuka smiled and waved: "Yakura, long time no see."

Seeing the two gentle people, Yekura secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly bowed, saying, "Nonou-senpai, I'm Yekura!"

Pharmacist Nonou stepped forward with a smile: "You don't need to call me senpai. Just call me Nonou-neechan like Asuka does, or you can call me Dean like Shuichi does."

Yekura quickly replied, "Yes, Nono-neechan."

She knew that Yakushi Nonou held a very high position in Hoshino Shuichi's heart, so she was very respectful.

Asuka already knew Yekura, and seeing that she was still a little reserved, she quickly stepped forward and pulled her into her room: "You can sleep in the same room with me tonight, I hope you don't mind."

Yekura glanced at Hoshino Shuichi and was pulled away, repeatedly saying, "Um... I don't mind, thank you."

Seeing the two enter the house, Yakushi Nonou approached Hoshishita Shuichi and asked with a hint of helplessness, "Will Shizune mind?"

Although she herself was inexperienced, she was knowledgeable and insightful, able to see through things at a glance.

Hoshita Shuichi shamelessly grabbed Yakushi Nonou's arm: "I'm glad you don't mind, Dean."

Yakushi Nonou shook her head and said softly, "Of course I don't mind, but..."

Hoshino Hideichi quickly replied, "Don't worry, Dean, there's no problem with silence."

Yakushi Nonou sighed, "I just can't do anything with you."

Hoshita Shuichi smugly thought, "Who told me to be so outstanding?"

"I'm going to create a race under the stars, and Shizune and Asuka-neechan alone aren't enough!"

Yakushi Nonou chided, "If Lady Tsunade knew, she would definitely chase after you and beat you up."

Hoshita Shuichi blinked: "Tsunade can't beat me now."

Yakushi Nonou gave a helpless wry smile and could only admonish, "Shuichi, you can't indulge yourself. It's not suitable for you at your age, even though you're already very strong."

Hideichi Hoshino nodded repeatedly, almost as if he were about to raise his hand and swear an oath.

After everyone had finished washing up and before going to bed, Hoshino Shuichi upgraded the Star Curse Mark on Yakushi Nonou and Asuka.

Of course, you should use the best of your own people.

The next day.

In the morning, Hoshino Shuichi first went to Konoha Hospital to help Shizune upgrade her Star Seal before coming to the experimental base.

Tsunade's face was still sour, but Hoshino Shuichi didn't care and quickly diverted Tsunade's attention with yesterday's harvest.

"It seems that the intensity of chakra nature transformation is also related to the amount of chakra."

After trying, Tsunade frowned: "I feel like I've reached my limit, and there's no way to go any further."

Hoshita Hideichi hesitated for a moment after hearing this, then said, "There is a way to greatly increase your chakra reserves, and even directly obtain powerful Yang Release power."

Tsunade frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'll think about it."

Hoshino Shuichi didn't try to persuade him, but changed the subject, saying, "Next, let's update the curse mark on your body!"

"I gained something again yesterday. Activating the curse seal allows me to directly achieve the effect of healing without hand seals. The effect is also stronger than before."

"It can also amplify Wind Release."

As he spoke, Hoshino Shuichi came up behind Tsunade and grabbed her ponytail.

"Amplified Wind Release is of no use to me."

Tsunade spoke, but did not resist.

Hard mouth!

After the cursed seals were stacked, Hoshino Shuichi went off to attend to his own business.

Time flies, and the last day of Konoha Year 46 has arrived, with the New Year just around the corner.

That night, under the stars, Shuichi's house was more lively than ever before.

Yakushi Nonou, Asuka, Hakura, Shizune, Tsunade, and the suddenly arriving and refusing to leave, Miss Tenyun.

However, having too many people also caused some trouble. Hoshino Shuichi accompanied the women shopping and became their servant.

Especially Tsunade, she did it entirely on purpose, trying to make him run around in circles.

Fortunately, the shadow clones were able to help, preventing Tsunade from succeeding.

at the same time.

In the cemetery, a man in black robes appeared in front of Nohara Rin's fake grave.

Obito Uchiha, possessed by Black Zetsu and White Zetsu, was now utterly despondent.

After standing there for a long time, Obito Uchiha suddenly said in a hoarse voice, "I'll join you!"

Bai Jue immediately said, "This is the right choice."

Black Zetsu said in a low voice, "In this distorted world, war is constant. Even if Lin hadn't died, and you had married and had children, would you send them to the battlefield when they're only seven or eight years old?"

"Ninjas are cursed beings!"

"Tragedy will never disappear without creating a new world. Obito, you are not the first, nor the only one."

Obito Uchiha said calmly, "I know."

That's why I'm cooperating with you.

……

At the experimental base, by Rin Nohara's bedside, Kakashi held Rin's hand and used chakra to connect their minds.

However, this was not a private time for just the two of them; Yang Sanwei was also present.

Looking at Kakashi, who had already mastered the Water Release: Nature Transformation, and Rin Nohara, who looked embarrassed and guilty, Yang Sanwei could only sigh and silently turn away: "Let this brat teach you. I'm going to sleep now."

An embarrassed Nohara Rin quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for your help, Isobu."

Yang Sanwei flicked his tail and then disappeared.

Rin Nohara turned around, looked at Kakashi, and smiled, "Kakashi, let's continue!"

Kakashi nodded, and then Rin Nohara pulled his hand up.

In the realm of the soul, once the heart is opened, nothing can be hidden from the mind.

"Kakashi, once I've recovered, let's go find Obito together!"

Rin Nohara looked directly at Kakashi with her big eyes, not giving him any chance to back down: "He will bless us!"

Looking into Rin Nohara's eyes, Kakashi suddenly gripped her hand tightly and nodded, "Mm!"

……

Unaware that Kakashi had already fallen for Rin Nohara's advances, Hoshino Shuichi was currently enjoying himself.

The left side is silent, the right side is cloud-like; everyone who sees it will be envious.

They strolled around until about 9 o'clock before heading home.

Tsunade, caught up in her card-playing urge, dragged Hoshino Shuichi and the others along to play cards and celebrate the New Year together.

Xingxia Xiuyi immediately developed a new gameplay—Dou Dizhu!

No, let's fight for fame!

Seven people take turns playing, and if you lose, you don't have to pay; you just get a sticker on your face.

Then, in less than an hour, Tsunade was left with only her two eyes.

Hoshino Shuichi secretly regretted that he couldn't take off his clothes.

The night passed in joy.

As Konoha Year 47 arrived, Hoshino Shu, as in previous years, began to get busy.

First, she went to the orphanage with the pharmacist Nono, Asuka, and Hakura for three days.

Then they successively visited seniors and predecessors such as Minato Namikaze, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Might Guy.

Several days passed in a flash, and the New Year's atmosphere gradually faded, with Hoshino Shuichi's training and research returning to normal.

On this day, Hoshinoichi received a message from Sarutobi Shinnosuke: to remove the Four-Tails!

The Dark Division had prepared a container, which turned out to be a wooden barrel covered with runes.

When Hoshino Shuichi arrived at this former Root base, he looked at the wooden barrel and shook his head, saying, "We don't need this for now."

Several members of the sealing squad looked at Hoshino Shizuka with confusion.

Hoshino Hideichi laughed and said, "I've already become friends with the Four-Tails, so there's no need to seal it away."

One of the sealing squad members couldn't help but swallow hard: "Lord Xiuichi, you're not joking, are you?"

"Of course not."

As he spoke, Hoshinoichi directly separated the four tails within his body, extracting the Yin Four-Tails from the Bagua seal.

The appearance of the gigantic four-tailed creature caused the members of the sealing team to freeze in tension.

Yin Siwei looked down at the little ones and said to Xingxia Xiu, "Some of what you said does make a lot of sense."

Hoshino Hideichi smiled and said, "You can stay here for a few days."

"Let's wait until Iwagakure arrives before entering the barrel. I'll personally escort you back to Iwagakure to prevent you from being robbed on the way."

Yin Siwei nodded: "No problem."

Xingxia Xiuyi said to the sealing team, "You can leave now!"

"Yes, Lord Shuichi!"

The members of the sealing team immediately leaped away.

After chatting with Yin Siwei for a few more minutes and leaving the Flying Thunder God mark on it, Hoshino Shuichi finally left the Root base.

Outside the Root base, there are inevitably ANBU ninjas guarding it.

At the same time, a barrier was also set up here.

April 16, Konoha Year 47.

The delegation from Iwagakure arrived, and the leader was none other than the son of the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, a man in his early twenties named Kotsuchi.

In the conference room, looking at the tall, imposing, and not-at-all-handsome Huang Tu, Hoshino Shuichi wondered how he could have produced such a leggy, dark-skinned figure.

Could it be that the mother of the black soil was so beautiful that she improved the genes?

Seeing that Huang Tu and his teacher Minato Namikaze had almost finished communicating, Hoshino Shuichi finally spoke up: "After handing over the Four-Tails, I will personally escort you back to Iwagakure."

The Iwa ninja Jonin, Suma Shi, said in a deep voice, "I suppose you won't need to trouble yourself with that?"

"We have the ability to bring the Four-Tails back to the village."

Huang Tu nodded, but his attitude was much better. He smiled and said, "Thank you very much for your kindness, but we are already well prepared."

Hoshino Hideaki shook his head: "I'm doing this for your own good."

"I'll let you in on some information: Madara Uchiha, the former ninja world's tyrant, has reappeared."

The loess and other rocky figures were all stunned.

After a long pause, Huang Tu finally asked, "You're not joking, are you?"

"Uchiha Madara...he's been dead for a long time, hasn't he?"

"Besides, given his age, he should..."

Hoshino Shizuka looked at the yellow earth and said, "Although it's hard to believe, as the son of the Third Tsuchikage, you should know some secrets, such as Susanoo."

"I have encountered this before, confronted it, and confirmed my suspicions through other channels."

Huang Tu's expression immediately turned serious.

Among the Iwa ninja, someone muttered under their breath, "Could they be trying to scare us on purpose? People from that era couldn't possibly be alive today."

Jonin Suma Shi hissed, "Shut up!"

Huang Tu had already made his decision: "In that case, I'll trouble you!"

The next day.

After placing the Yin Four-Tails into a wooden barrel, affixing a sealing talisman, and handing it over to the Iwagakure ninja for inspection, the Iwagakure delegation set off to leave Konoha, with Hoshinobi Shuichi, Uchiha Shisui, Asuka, and Pakura responsible for escorting them.

After leaving the village, the group headed west, quickly traversing through the dense forest.

As the group led by Hoshinobi departed, Obito Uchiha and Tobi, the White Zetsu, appeared one after the other.

Bai Jue A Fei said, "It's a real pity. With Xingxia Xiuyi around, the chances are already very slim."

Black Zetsu, still attached to Obito Uchiha, said, "This is good news. The Four-Tails has returned to Iwagakure, which actually makes it easier for us to obtain it."

"Especially since sealing the tailed beasts requires a specific order, it doesn't matter if there's no opportunity now."

Obito Uchiha said, "It seems that he will also escort the One-Tailed Beast back to Sunagakure."

His other half, Bai Jue, said, "We're not fully prepared yet, so let's gather intelligence first!"

"The best strategy is to wait until Nagato has further mastered the power of the Rinnegan, then gather more people, and capture the Tailed Beasts as quickly as possible."

Black Zetsu said, "Tobi, you're in charge of keeping an eye on the Four-Tails and seeing who the next Jinchuriki of Iwagakure will be."

Bai Jue A Fei's body slowly sank into the ground: "No problem, this is what I do best."

……

As Xingxia Xiu was on her way, she turned around and saw: Sure enough, it appeared!

He's in god mode right now.

"Shuichi, what's wrong?"

"Uchiha Shisui on the left asked."

Xingxia Xiu turned around and said, "Zhishui, notify Huangtu and the others that they are being watched. Be on high alert."

Uchiha Shisui nodded immediately upon hearing this, and then sped up to catch up with the Iwa ninja ahead.

Upon hearing this, Huang Tian and the others immediately tensed up and changed their battle formation.

However, no attacks occurred when they reached the border of the Land of Fire, which relieved Huang Tu and Suma Shi.

After resting for an hour, the group set off again, heading directly into the Land of Grass, and then from the Land of Earth.

When they arrived at the Land of Earth, the loess soil completely relaxed.

Because there is a 100-strong unit at the border to provide support.

Upon arriving at this point, Huang Tu declined Hoshino Hideichi and the others' offer to continue escorting him, bowing and saying, "Thank you, but we are unable to entertain you further due to our duty to protect the Four-Tails."

Hoshita Shuichi nodded slightly: "In that case, let's stop here."

"However, I still want to remind you not to be careless."

Huang Tian was easy to talk to and immediately nodded: "We will."

Hoshino nodded, then led Asuka and the others to retreat, crossing the Kannabi Bridge and entering the Land of Grass.

Huang Tu and the others rested for only an hour before continuing their journey back to Iwagakure under the moonlight.

On a bare hill, Tobi's head popped out, and he couldn't help but smile as he looked at the large group of Iwa ninja: "Iwa ninja actually refused Hoshino Shuichi's request to continue escorting us. I really didn't expect that."

"Seriously, this is quite a tempting opportunity!"

Immediately, Tobi used Kamui to absorb himself into the Kamui dimension. When he came out, he was already next to Obito Uchiha, and said with an exaggerated tone, "Very, very good news."

"Hoshinobi Shuichi and Iwagakure have separated!"

"Now there are only a hundred or so Iwa ninja left to escort the Four-Tails."

So, should we take action or not?

Black Zetsu immediately said, "Of course we can't let such a good opportunity slip by."

"Although sealing tailed beasts must be done in order, we can now take down the Four-Tails and control it with the Sharingan, turning it into a summoning beast. That would be a decent fighting force."

Obito Uchiha said directly, "Then let's do it!"

As he spoke, he unleashed his divine power.

He now has some control over his body.

However, because Black Zetsu and White Zetsu did not fully trust him, they still relied on him.

……

In the Land of Grass, Hoshino Shuichi suddenly stopped: "This will do!"

Asuka and the other two stopped in their tracks. Uchiha Shisui asked, "Shuichi, do you think Uchiha Madara will make a move?"

Hoshino looked towards the Land of Earth and said, "The Four-Tails isn't currently inside a Jinchuriki, which presents a great opportunity."

"Once the Sharingan is under control, it can instantly become part of our fighting force. What are a hundred or so Iwa ninja compared to that?"

Hoshino Shuichi didn't know if Madara Uchiha had removed the tubes, but Obito Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan was enough.

"Those Iwa ninja don't trust us," said Yekura, who was wearing a mask.

Hoshino Hideichi laughed and said, "We don't need them to trust us now."

The Iwa ninja have to take the blame for him, and Nagato and the others can't get the Four-Tails so quickly, especially since the information that he can split the Tailed Beasts can't be exposed so soon.
