Konoha's lexicon of ninjas

Chapter 20 Teacher, Teammate! (Please vote and give me your monthly tickets to continue reading)

After returning home that evening, Hoshino Hideichi washed up, ate dinner, and then began trying to completely transform the Memory Palace into a ninjutsu or sealing technique.

This is quite difficult, but fortunately he has a solid grasp of the basics of talismans, and he also has a certain foundation in sealing techniques due to making explosive talismans.

Moreover, when it came to turning the Memory Palace into a ninjutsu, Hoshino Shuichi didn't expect to immediately achieve an A-rank or S-rank; his only requirement was to directly store the memories fed back by the shadow clones into the Memory Palace.

This application is actually similar to that of detonators.

However, when it comes to the brain, Xingxia Xiu is very cautious and does not dare to try it easily. Instead, she designs the procedure first.

He decided to consult Tsunade after he had made some progress.

Silent all night.

October 16, Konoha 39.

After finishing his morning training, Hoshino Hideaki ate a hearty breakfast before wrapping bandages around his arms and calves.

This bandage is a medical bandage, soaked in a special medicinal solution, which can relieve muscle fatigue and also stop bleeding.

Next was a black outfit, plus a black jacket with white stripes, featuring swirling patterns on the shoulders, arms, and back.

In addition, there were iron arm guards, sleeve guards, a ninja tool pouch, and the Ame-no-Murakucha katana tucked into his lower back.

Having made all the preparations, Hoshino Shuichi went out and leaped all the way to the Hokage Building to wait.

Not long after, he saw a somewhat familiar figure.

Uchiha Shisui?

Hoshino Shizuka blinked.

Seemingly noticing that someone was watching him, the boy opposite him, Okihoshige Shuichi, smiled.

Hoshita Shuichi returned the smile, thought for a moment, and stepped forward to introduce himself: "Hello, I'm Hoshita Shuichi!"

"Hello, I am Uchiha Shisui."

Uchiha Shisui responded kindly: "I've heard of Shuichi-kun. He graduated from the Ninja Academy at the age of six, which is very impressive."

Hoshino Hideaki said, "Many people can graduate from the Ninja Academy at this age, but graduating early is not always a good thing."

If he were born into a ninja clan and had sufficient resources, he wouldn't choose to graduate early; he would have preferred to stay at the ninja academy for the full six years.

Uchiha Shisui was taken aback at first, then thought about it carefully and nodded in deep agreement, saying, "Shuichi-kun is right."

At that moment, a figure landed beside Uchiha Shisui: "Shisui, you're here so early again."

The newcomer then looked at Hoshino Shizuka: "And who is this?"

Uchiha Shisui smiled and introduced, "Hoshita Shuichi, I guess he's our new comrade."

The boy exclaimed in surprise, "Hoshino Shizuka, the one who graduated at the age of six!"

Uchiha Shisui introduced Hoshino Shuichi to him, saying, "Shuichi-kun, this is Kurama San'yō from the Kurama clan."

Could an Uchiha and a Kurama clan member be my comrades?

Hoshita Shuichi was secretly surprised, but he politely greeted Kurama Sanyo: "I am Hoshita Shuichi, greetings to Sanyo-senpai."

Kurama Sanyou quickly waved his hand: "No need to call me senior, Shisui and I are also newcomers who graduated just a year ago."

A newcomer with a year of practice experience?

So, Uchiha Shisui might be two years older than me?

Hoshino Shuichi was quite surprised.

His impression was that Uchiha Shisui wasn't much older than Uchiha Itachi.

But considering Uchiha Shisui's reputation as the "Shisui of the Body Flicker," it's most likely that he earned it during the Third Shinobi World War and after the Fourth Hokage's sacrifice, in his battles against Kirigakure.

So even if Uchiha Shisui was 5 years older than Uchiha Itachi, he would have been around 10 years old at that time.

A Jonin with three tomoe at that age is a little scary.

Furthermore, Uchiha Shisui was a descendant of Uchiha Kagami, who died very young and was much younger than the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's grandson, Konohamaru, is much younger than Naruto and the others.

Therefore, it is most likely that Uchiha Shisui was the son of Uchiha Kagami.

So when did Uchiha Kagami die?

The most likely scenario is the Second Shinobi World War.

Therefore, it's reasonable for him to be a year or two older than Kakashi and the others.

Hoshino Shuichi quickly accepted the fact that Uchiha Shisui was older than him, and the three of them chatted together and soon became familiar with each other.

Clearly, none of the three are difficult to get along with.

"It seems you two get along very well."

A voice suddenly rang out.

Hoshino and the other two quickly looked over.

"Minato-senpai!"

Uchiha Shisui was the first to step forward and bow in greeting, followed by Kurama Sanyou, who also bowed excitedly: "Minato-senpai, are you our new team leader?"

Hoshino Shuichi looked at Namikaze Minato with even greater surprise than when he saw Uchiha Shisui.

Because Minato Namikaze is still very young, only around 15 years old.

Minato Namikaze coming to be his genin instructor was completely unexpected for him.

He considered Jiraiya, even Kakashi's father Sakumo Hatake, or a Jonin from the Sarutobi clan, but he never thought of Minato Namikaze.

But upon closer examination, Minato Namikaze's identity seems quite reasonable.

So, Hoshita Shuichi, who was a step behind, stepped forward and bowed: "Minato-sensei, I am Hoshita Shuichi."

They were all very polite and friendly little guys, without any of the arrogance of geniuses!

Minato Namikaze sighed inwardly for a moment, then smiled and said, "Hello, I am Minato Namikaze. From today onwards, I will be your team leader, a Jonin."

"Well then, let's find a place first!"

After saying that, the person disappeared.

Although he had already learned from Hiruzen Sarutobi that the main reason he became the Jonin leader was Hoshinobi Shuichi, Minato Namikaze did not show it.

The three, including Hoshino, exchanged glances and then simultaneously used their teleportation techniques to follow.

On a rooftop.

Minato Namikaze watched as Shuichi Hoshino and his two companions arrived, and said with a smile, "Let's introduce ourselves first, so we can get to know each other."

"I'll go first."

"You already know my name. I specialize in taijutsu, body-flickering techniques, and wind-style techniques."

Uchiha Shisui then continued, "My name is Uchiha Shisui. I am skilled in swordsmanship, genjutsu, fire release, and body flickering. My Sharingan has awakened to the single tomoe."

Kurama Sanyo immediately replied, "Kurama Sanyo is skilled in illusion."

Finally, everyone looked at Hoshino Shuichi.

Hoshita Shuichi immediately replied, "My name is Hoshita Shuichi. I am skilled in Fire Release and Transformation Techniques, and my medical ninjutsu is passable."

He was proficient in medical ninjutsu, having mastered the most basic healing techniques and the relatively difficult Palm Healing Technique, but he was far from being proficient.

He was fairly certain that even without the "Fire Release Expert" buff, he already possessed some talent in Fire Release techniques, and the amplification from attributes like "Academic Pro" made the effect even more pronounced.

Medical ninjutsu is different; those with relatively poor talent for it naturally require significantly more effort.

The ability to learn the Palm Immortal Technique in such a short time is largely thanks to the enhancement provided by the entry.

Minato Namikaze laughed and said, "Then Shuichi will be our team's medical ninja from now on."

Within a small team, the medical ninja is often the one being protected.

Of course, for the enemy, the medical ninja is also the first one to be eliminated.
