Chapter 202 Sand Body, Yamato! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

Kakashi did not forget his original intention, nor was he misled by the power of the tailed beasts.

He knew very well that what he needed was to lay a foundation and unleash his potential, not just the power he had now.

Looking at the tailed beast chakra on Kakashi's body, Hoshino Shuichi suddenly laughed and said, "I have a sword here that would suit you perfectly."

As he spoke, he summoned the Greatsword Samehada.

Upon seeing this, Tsunade remarked, "One of the Seven Swords of Kirigakure?"

"Um!"

Hoshino nodded: "Samehada is very spiritual; you could think of it as alive."

"I originally intended to save it for Lin."

Tsunade and Kakashi were both taken aback: "Rin?"

The two looked at Samehada and then at Rin's petite figure; they didn't seem like a good match at all.

Hoshita Shuichi explained with a smile, "Because Samehada itself has a close relationship with the Three-Tails, it once followed Isobu and likes tailed beast chakra."

"This guy will follow whoever feeds him."

Samehada understood, bent the hilt of its sword, and tapped Hoshino Shuichi.

Without any hesitation, Hoshino Shuichi kicked him away.

Kakashi caught it instinctively, and then the Eight-Tails' chakra on his body quickly disappeared.

"It can absorb chakra!"

Kakashi was shocked; his Eight-Tails chakra was quickly devoured by Samehada.

Hoshita Hideaki said, "This is Samehada's ability; it can absorb chakra."

"Therefore, he can also use this move to break some ninjutsu."

"Of course, there's another one among the seven ninja swords that might suit you as well."

As he spoke, Hoshino Shuichi summoned his twin swords, "Kiba," again: "These are swords suitable for using Lightning Release ninjutsu."

"Of course, its form might not be suitable for you to use the Hatake sword technique."

Raiga Kurosuki, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, wields a sword that can be described as a ninjutsu-type sword rather than a melee-type sword.

However, Kakashi looked at Samehada and then at the Raikiri [Fang], and shook his head, saying, "Samehada should be left to Rin. These twin swords aren't suitable for me. I have the White Fang short sword, which is enough."

Upon hearing that Kakashi didn't want him, Samehada couldn't bear to part with him and immediately spat out the chakra he had absorbed and returned it to Kakashi.

Kakashi was taken aback.

Hoshita Hideichi chuckled, "You felt it, didn't you!"

"Chakra transformed from Samehada is more useful or easier to use than tailed beast chakra."

Unlike the Nine-Tails' chakra, the chakra of other tailed beasts cannot be harmonized to suit anyone's use.

Therefore, the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode stands out from the rest.

Kakashi's Eight-Tails chakra covering his body is actually a state of borrowing the chakra of a tailed beast.

The Nine-Tails chakra used in Hoshino Shuichi's Nine-Tails Chakra Mode is no different from Hoshino Shuichi's own chakra, except that its quality is astonishing.

Kisame is known as the tailless tailed beast, and most of the credit goes to Samehada!

However, Kakashi shook his head: "Borrowing the Eight-Tails' chakra is enough for me."

Hoshino Hideichi was helpless; these seven excellent swords were now unwanted by anyone.

Tsunade couldn't help but laugh at his discomfiture: "Kakashi already has his own fighting system; you should find someone new to train!"

Hoshita Shuichi reached out and took the reluctant Samehada: "Then let's wait for Rin to wake up and see if she needs it!"

Rin Nohara used the Samehada sword?

That scene was a bit thrilling.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it was February of Konoha Year 47.

The Sunagakure delegation also arrived in Konoha, but it was Chiyo who personally led the team.

Still at the original Root base, after Hoshino Shuichi split the One-Tail, he placed the Yin One-Tail here and also cut off half of the tail to store it away.

Shukaku, enduring the pain, shouted, "Hey, remember your promise, or I'll lead the Jinchuriki to attack Konoha!"

Hoshita Hideichi smiled and said, "I'm a man of my word, don't worry!"

"Stay here for one day, and I'll send you to the Land of Returning Winds tomorrow."

Shukaku lazily lay down: "The Land of Wind is indeed much better than this awful place. This place is gloomy and there's not even a sun."

"Yeah, it is a bit eerie."

Hoshino Shuichi gave a perfunctory reply, left the Flying Thunder God mark on Shukaku's tail, waved, and left.

Once outside, Hoshinoichi noticed that Shinnosuke Sarutobi had arrived sometime earlier and asked curiously, "Captain, does the Third Hokage have something to tell you?"

Wearing a mask, Sarutobi Shinnosuke laughed and said, "Saku has already returned to the Daimyo's residence, so I found you a new teammate."

"Yamato!"

A slightly shorter ANBU ninja stepped forward, removed his mask, and bowed, saying, "Shuichi-senpai, I am Yamato!"

Looks like we'll have a place to stay when we go on missions in the future.

"Hello, you can call me Xiuyi, or Captain."

After nodding gently, Hoshinoichi pretended not to recognize Yamato and looked at Sarutobi Shinnosuke.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke said, "Yamato was a Root ninja before, and he obtained the First Hokage's Wood Release power."

"Wood Release, huh? I see."

Hoshino Shuichi feigned surprise.

He had almost forgotten about Yamato. After Danzo's death, he didn't get involved in the affairs of Root, nor did he inquire about them.

"Then, Yamato, let's meet here at 8 o'clock tomorrow."

A beautiful scene unfolds beneath the stars.

Yamato nodded quickly, "Yes, Captain!"

Having set the time, Hoshinobu said to Sarutobi Shinnosuke, "Then I'll head over to the experimental base."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded.

Hoshino patted Yamato on the shoulder, then disappeared.

……

Research base.

Hoshino Hideichi opened the sealed scroll, and as before, after leaving a portion as a cell culture sample, he sliced ​​up the rest of Shukaku's tail and ate it.

"Why does it still feel like I'm swallowing sand?"

The meat from Shukaku's tail feels like eating a mouthful of soft, fluffy sand.

Hoshino Shizuka frowned and quickly finished the meal, then waited for it to digest.

Compared to when it ate the nine-tailed or eight-tailed fox, the reaction was much milder.

But after digesting it, Hoshino Shuichi's eyes lit up.

He reached for his sword, drew it, and slashed at his left hand.

With a soft "thud," the hand was severed at the wrist.

However, no blood flowed out; instead, the fallen hand turned into a pile of sand.

As chakra was consumed, the severed hand on the left hand quickly recovered to its original state.

Sand body!

After eating Shukaku's flesh, he gained the ability to turn his body into sand.

This is something I've never encountered before, even when I ate the flesh of the Nine-Tails, Eight-Tails, Four-Tails, or Three-Tails.

"It seems there's an element of chance involved..."

Hoshino Shuichi suddenly became even more excited about the term "Medical Master".

Because obtaining this entry will further enhance his physical compatibility.

Will there be any further changes at that time?

"I wonder how long Aunt Snake will be preparing. It should be soon, right?"

Muttering to himself, Hoshino Shuichi packed up his things and went to the other side to continue his comparative study of Hashirama's cells and Asuka's cells.

……

The next day.

Hoshita Shuichi, along with Asuka and Uchiha Shisui, met up with Yamato outside the Root base.

"Yamato, a user of Wood Release."

Hoshita Hideichi introduced Asuka and Uchiha Shisui.

"Hello, I am Uchiha Shisui. I am skilled in Fire Release, Genjutsu, swordsmanship, and Body Flicker Technique."

Yamato quickly bowed: "Greetings, Shisui-senpai. I heard of Shisui's reputation for Body Flicker Technique back in the Anbu."

Asuka then introduced herself with a smile: "Hello, I am Asuka. I am skilled in medical ninjutsu, sealing techniques, and sensory ninjutsu."

Yamato immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Asuka-senpai!"

After getting to know each other, Hoshino Shuichi said, "I'll go pick up Shukaku. You guys wait here."

After saying that, he disappeared. A moment later, Hoshino Shizuka reappeared, with a small tanuki on his shoulder.

"Huh, Shukaku has gotten so small?"

Asuka couldn't help but widen her eyes as she looked at Shukaku; he was so cute, completely lacking the imposing presence of a tailed beast.

Shukaku glanced at Asuka: "Woman, don't doubt the power of the tailed beasts!"

Although Asuka's timid personality changed a lot after arriving in Konoha, she was still a gentle type and didn't pay attention to Shukaku's unfriendly and arrogant tone.

Hoshino Shuichi patted Shukaku's head and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's meet up with the people from Sunagakure."

The four people and one beast set off and soon reunited with Chiyo and the other Sand Ninja.

Chiyo and the other Sand Ninja were stunned when they saw the tiny Shukaku.

"Shouldn't we need to seal it?"

Looking at the sealing artifacts carried by the Sand Ninja, a golden cauldron, Hoshino Shizuka smiled.

Chiyo looked at Shukaku: "Shukaku, you..."

Shukaku leaped from Hoshino's shoulder and landed on Chiyo's: "Let's hurry up, it's been a long time since I've sunbathed on the sand."

"Then let's set off!"

Chiyo has stopped using the seal, and her current condition is good.

The group immediately set off to leave Konoha, with the Sand Ninja in front and Hoshinobi Shuichi and three others following behind.

This time, Hoshino didn't notice anyone following them, but Asuka, as a member of the team, still checked her senses every now and then.

"Once we've solved the research on Yang Release, we must also learn the abilities of White Zetsu."

Hoshita Shuichi secretly made a plan.

White Zetsu may not be strong in combat, but they are very good at providing support.

Whether it's transforming, burrowing underground to hide oneself, absorbing others' chakra to replenish teammates, or healing.

We set off before 9 a.m. and arrived at the border of the Land of Fire in the afternoon to rest.

Yamato found an open space and formed a hand seal.

Wood Release: The Four Pillars Family Technique!

Under the astonished gazes of many Sand Village ninja, and even Asuka and Uchiha Shisui, a large wooden house was rapidly completed.

It's two-story!

Asuka murmured to herself, "Wood Release... can it be used to build houses?"

Yamato gave an awkward smile: "It's just a little trick."

Hoshino Shuichi patted Yamato on the shoulder: "Very good ability. From now on, the house for resting will be yours."

On the other side, Chiyo's gaze sharpened: "It's... Wood Release!"

"Konoha has even recreated the First Hokage's secret technique!"

Chiyo's heart grew heavier.

Having a powerful ally during wartime is a good thing, but now the pressure of facing Konoha and Sunagakure is too great.

First a yellow flash, then a blue flash, and now there's another user of Wood Release techniques...

"It seems we must find a suitable Jinchūriki candidate as soon as possible."

Chiyo sighed inwardly.

Even if a perfect Jinchūriki is of little use against Hoshino Shuichi, at least they have more confidence.

Soon, the group checked into Yamato's wilderness villa.

I must say, it feels better than a tent.

The Sand Shinobi were in charge of keeping watch at night, while Hoshita Shuichi and Asuka shared a room.

The two whispered to each other in each other's arms, and before they knew it, Asuka fell asleep in Hoshinoshita Shuichi's arms.

He gave her a gentle kiss and then closed his eyes to sleep.

However, a single hair of his fell out and transformed into a moth, flying out of the window.
