Konoha's lexicon of ninjas

"I am Hoshino Shuichi!"

Hoshino Hideichi introduced himself.

The woman's pupils contracted sharply.

Hoshinobi Shuichi, the new god of ninjas!

This filled her with fear, for the Third Mizukage had died at the hands of the person right before her eyes.

Holding her son tightly, Mizuki was suddenly filled with boundless hope again. She pushed her son towards Hoshino Shuichi: "Sir, please take my son away. He has awakened his bloodline limit and can become an Ice Release ninja."

Previously, Hoshinobi was an enemy of Kirigakure, but now, she could be her son's savior.

Moreover, she also knew that the Scorching Release user, Pakura, from Sunagakure was saved by the person in front of her.

If Konoha can take in Yoruichi Hagura, the Scorching Release user from Sunagakure, then it can also take in her son.

son?

Hoshino Shuichi looked at the child being held by the woman; he had initially thought it was a girl.

But raising children?

When will that be?

Of course, he had absolutely no interest in the young woman's beauty.

Hoshino Hideichi's mind raced for a moment, then he said calmly, "Get up!"

"I saved you. From this day forward, you belong to me."

When Mizuki Misaki's gaze fell upon him, his face turned deathly pale.

With a gritted teeth, Mizuki said, "I still need to collect my deceased husband's body, please take Shiro with you!"

Young Bai immediately hugged his mother's arm tightly: "Mommy, don't go!"

Hoshino Hideichi was speechless. Did he think he was a pervert?

Am I that kind of person?

Hoshino Hideichi stepped forward, placed a hand on Mizuki's shoulder, and leaned down to whisper in her ear, "Madam, you don't want your son either..."

Mizuki stood there, stunned. She looked down at her trembling son in her arms, then at her husband's corpse. Overwhelmed with humiliation, tears streamed down her face. "Yes... thank you for saving my life."

The next moment, the corpses on the ground were swallowed by the earth, and then Hoshino Shuichi disappeared with the mother and child in front of him.

The Land of Fire, Daimyo Prefecture, Experimental Base.

After handing over the mother and child he had taken in to Yekura for arrangements, Hoshino Shuichi busied himself in the laboratory, settling the corpses one by one.

Yekura led Minazuki and her son to a stone chamber and said, "This will be your residence from now on."

"Turn left after leaving the restaurant, walk straight, then turn right and you'll arrive."

"We have three meals a day, from 6-9 am, 12 am, and 6-8 pm. You can cook for yourself if you want."

As she spoke, Ye Cang glanced at Bai, who was clinging to her mother's leg, and said, "We don't have any clothes for the children here, but they will be delivered later."

Upon hearing this, Minazuki quickly expressed her gratitude: "Thank you, Lady Yekura!"

Yecang immediately said, "Just call me Yecang. There's only one adult here, and that's Lord Xiuyi!"

Mizuki nodded quickly, "Yes!"

Nodding slightly, Ye Cang turned and left, heading over to the busy Hoshino Shuichi: "Shuichi-sama, was that Mizuki brought back because of Ice Release?"

Hoshino Hideichi turned around with a smile upon hearing this: "What, you think I'm attracted to her good looks?"

Yecang blushed and said, "I think she has misunderstood. She is very afraid of you, Lord Hideichi."

Hoshino Hideichi said nonchalantly, "Saving people is always troublesome; they'll understand in the future."

After dealing with the corpses, Hoshino Hideichi said, "I'll leave this to you. I still need to go to the Land of Water."

After saying that, the person disappeared.

Ye Cang closed the stone gate, then sent a clone to Daming Prefecture to wander around and bought several sets of children's clothes to bring back.

Hozuki Suigetsu had fallen asleep from exhaustion. After putting down the clothes, Yekura came over to Suigetsu, only to find that Suigetsu had already altered a set of clothes for the child using her own clothes.

"Thanks!"

After receiving the new clothes, Minazuki bowed and thanked him profusely. Then, after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Um... Yekura... Yekura, Shiro is actually a boy."

Ye Cang was slightly taken aback. She glanced at Bai, who was curled up on the bed with tear stains at the corners of his eyes, and nodded: "I understand. Next time, I will change into a boy's clothes."

Mizuki quickly replied, "That doesn't need to be too complicated. This can be altered and worn as well."

Yekura nodded and then said, "Since you are an Ice Release ninja, the task of preserving the corpses in the base will be entrusted to you from now on."

Minazuki was taken aback upon hearing this.

Yecang looked at her and said, "Lord Shuichi doesn't keep idle people around. You should do something within your ability."

"When the child is old enough, they can be sent to school to study."

"Lord Shuichi also rescued another child this time, and we'll need your help taking care of him from now on."

Minazuki was both surprised and delighted, and quickly nodded, "Yes, I understand!"

……

In Kirigakure, as night fell, Mei Terumi returned home, exhausted.

As soon as she closed the door, her body stiffened involuntarily. She slowly turned around and saw a pair of bright eyes looking at her in the darkness.

"It's that guy again..."

Terumi Mei gritted her teeth in anger.

Hoshino Hideichi smiled and said, "You did a good job today."

Mei Terumi was startled: "You were watching the fight nearby?"

Hoshino Hideaki said, "Currently, besides the Fourth Mizukage, you are probably the strongest person in Kirigakure."

Mei Terumi said coldly, "I've said it before, I will not betray the village."

Hoshita Shuichi chuckled: "Now that the Hozuki clan and the Ice clan have opened Pandora's box, I'm sure there will be a lot of assassinations of the Fourth Mizukage going to happen."

"You are also a bloodline limit ninja, and the strongest one after the Fourth Hokage."

"If you don't want to die in internal strife, I suggest you find an excuse to leave Kirigakure and go do some missions outside for now!"

To be honest, he was afraid that Mei Terumi would be killed by Obito and his crew.

Such a beautiful and capable person would have been an excellent assistant candidate in the future; it's such a pity she died.

Mei Terumi frowned upon hearing this.

Although I dislike the person in front of me, what they said is not wrong.

Snapped!

Hoshino Hideichi turned on the light, got up, and went to the dining table: "Are you hungry? Want to eat together?"

Mei Terumi then noticed a table full of delicious food, and her stomach immediately started growling.

She was exhausted after a long day, and because she felt sticky all over, she thought she should go home, take a shower, and then eat.

Seeing that Mei Terumi hadn't moved, Shuichi Hoshishita smiled, ignored her, and began to eat heartily.

Mei Terumi watched as Shuichi Hoshishita ate with relish, and couldn't help but swallow hard, then gritted her teeth inwardly: "That bastard... this is clearly my home."

"snort!"

Da da da!

Mei Terumi stomped heavily on the floor and sat down opposite Shuichi Hoshita, then started to snatch food from him as if in a fit of pique.

A smile crept into Hoshino Shuichi's eyes as he looked at the scene.

Very good, a good start.

In no time, the two of them devoured all the food on the table.

Hoshino Hideichi stretched and stood up, saying, "I'm leaving. Take care, and whatever you do, don't die, or I'll use your corpse for experiments."

"By the way, you wouldn't want my body to be repeatedly cut open and stitched up, would you?"

Mei Terumi's good mood from just having filled her stomach vanished instantly. She couldn't help but glare fiercely at the man opposite her. If she could win, she would definitely melt that face!

Ignoring Mei Terumi's fierce glare, Hoshino Shuichi waved his hand and disappeared.

"That damned bastard..."

Mei Terumi gritted her teeth, and when she saw the table full of tableware, she felt even more disgusted with Shuichi Hoshita.

This guy didn't even bother to clean up before leaving.

Exhausted, Mei Terumi cleaned up the dining table before putting herself in the bathtub.

She closed her eyes and relaxed her body, but Mei Terumi's brows were still furrowed.

The situation in the village is getting worse and worse.

After much thought, Mei Terumi opened her eyes and decided to accept that despicable bastard's suggestion to take on a long-term garrison mission and leave the village tomorrow.

……

After returning to Konoha Village, Hoshinoichi had dinner with Yakushi Nonou and the others before heading to the Daimyo's experimental base.

Yekura and the others had just finished dinner. They left Shiro and Mizuki with Yekura, and Hoshita Shuichi led Mizuki to the lounge.

At this moment, Mizuki was wearing a loose gray-white robe, but it still couldn't hide her graceful figure.

She was extremely nervous facing Hoshino Shuichi, the god of ninjas.

"Please sit down!"

Hoshita Hideichi sat cross-legged on the carpet and pointed to the opposite side to Minazuki.

Mizuki trembled, bit her lip, and sat down opposite Hoshino Shuichi.

"Put your hands up here."

Hideichi Hoshino spread out his palm.

Mizuki lowered her head and extended her soft, boneless, fair, and slender hand.

Their palms touched, and the scalding heat made her shiver.

Hoshita Shuichi continued to guide: "Refine your chakra, connect with my chakra."

"Huh?"

Mizuki froze, looked up at Hoshino Shuichi, and saw his mocking smile.

"Yes, Lord Shuichi!"

Mizuki blushed and nodded quickly, then began refining her chakra.

The two connected their chakra, forming a spiritual world, and began their close-knit training.

……

For Shuichi Hoshino, the 50 years in Konoha passed quickly and were also very busy.

Besides his training and research, he also had to travel back and forth between Konoha, the Daimyo's residence in the Land of Fire, Kirigakure, and Amegakure.

A month after the first internal strife in Kirigakure, which occurred after the Hozuki and Hyou clans attempted to assassinate the Fourth Mizukage, a second assassination attempt against the Fourth Mizukage took place.

This time it's an old acquaintance of Shuichi Hoshino, Zabuza Momochi!

However, unlike the previous assassination attempt, Zabuza Momochi attacked the residence of the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, alone at night. Just like Kakuzu's assassination attempt on Hashirama Senju, he was defeated in one strike and fled.

At this point, Zabuza Momochi, who was about the same age as Hoshino Hide in his first year, became a rogue ninja.

Before they knew it, it was August of the 50th year of Konoha.

Inside the Hokage's office at the Hokage Building, Minato Namikaze looked at a piece of intelligence among numerous documents, his expression turning serious: "Is it Obito?"

This is information about Orochimaru's human experiments, the most crucial part of which involves Danzo's time in Root, when he took action against the villagers around the village.

Minato Namikaze had actually guessed it was about Yamato and his group of children.

Only Yamato survived that experiment; all the other children died in it.

However, this matter was considered a thing of the past during Hiruzen Sarutobi's era, with Danzo's death.

Besides this, there's also information about the Sharingan.

With such intelligence suddenly appearing, how could Minato Namikaze not know what it meant?

If you can appear in the Hokage's office, you can certainly appear in other places.

The Uchiha clan, the home of many Konoha ninja...

However, just when Minato Namikaze thought that his disciple Obito had shown mercy, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, Koharu Utatane, Shikaku Nara, and Fugaku Uchiha arrived together.

Orochimaru's affair has been exposed!

"It seems I wasn't the only one to receive this intelligence..."

Minato Namikaze smiled bitterly to himself.

Regarding the Sharingan, Hiruzen Sarutobi had informed Fugaku Uchiha during his reign, but the ordinary Uchiha clan members were unaware of the secret.

Now that the information has been leaked, Fugaku Uchiha is under pressure from his clansmen and has no choice but to step forward.

"Leave this matter to me!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi took the initiative to speak.

This matter is actually a lingering problem left over from his time in office.

Minato Namikaze, however, already had a plan in mind. He shook his head: "A master-disciple showdown... let's leave the Third Hokage to Jiraiya-sensei!"

This was something I had discussed with Shuichi Hoshino beforehand.

Mitokado Homura then asked, "Fourth Hokage, what are your plans for Orochimaru?"

Minato Namikaze did not answer directly, but said, "After Jiraiya-sensei defeats Orochimaru, I will convene a Jonin meeting to make a decision."

dispose of?

How could it possibly be dealt with?

First, Danzo was made to take responsibility for this matter during the time of the Third Hokage.

Furthermore, Orochimaru's experiments were ostensibly conducted for Danzo.

Secondly, Orochimaru and Danzo have not yet taken action against anyone within Konoha Village.

Those children who died in the experiments were very pitiful, but Minato Namikaze couldn't just pay with his own life to get rid of Orochimaru, an elite Jonin who had made great contributions to Konoha.

Not to mention that this involves other plans as well.

The meeting ended quickly.

Minato Namikaze personally found Jiraiya, who was taking photos on the roof of a hot spring house, and brought him back to the Hokage's office.

"It's finally here!"

After hearing Minato's explanation, Jiraiya abandoned his nonchalant attitude, sighed, and said, "Then leave it to me!"

"Yeah, and let's invite Tsunade along too."

Minato Namikaze had no objections and said, "I will have Kakashi take you to Orochimaru's experimental base."

Jiraiya nodded and then walked out.

……

Research base.

Tsunade frowned upon hearing Jiraiya's words and shook her head, saying, "Go by yourself. I'm busy and don't have time to play along with your act."

"Orochimaru is different from before."

Jiraiya, feeling helpless, could only follow Kakashi to the outside of Orochimaru's experimental base.

"Kakashi, you stay here!"

Jiraiya said.

Kakashi, wearing a mask, nodded.

Jiraiya then broke through the trap at the entrance and entered the experimental base.

There are many traps here, but for the all-around Jiraiya, they are not a problem at all.

He quickly arrived at the depths of the experimental base and appeared behind Orochimaru.

"I didn't expect it to be just you alone, Jiraiya!"

Orochimaru leisurely tidied up the tools he had just used.

Jiraiya chuckled, "Looks like you're disappointed; Tsunade's busy right now!"

Orochimaru turned around and looked at Jiraiya, saying, "No, I thought the old man would come in person!"

Jiraiya shook his head: "The old man has already taken responsibility for this matter before, so Minato refused."

"But are you sure you want to go to the Akatsuki?"

Orochimaru laughed and said, "I'm very interested in the Rinnegan."

"Especially the secret hidden within, which involves the Sage of Six Paths."

Jiraiya said, "Then you'd better be careful, Nagato is no longer the child he used to be."

Orochimaru, however, was very confident: "Don't worry, I have a trump card."

"By the way, it's been a long time since we last faced off, hasn't it?"

Jiraiya nodded, a hint of emotion in his voice: "Yes!"

Orochimaru raised his hand: "Then let's see how much progress you've made over the years, you idiot." (End of Chapter)
