Chapter 261 Electromagnetic Escape! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

In Amegakure, Konan was engrossed in her work in her office when, behind her, a portal to another dimension silently opened.

Hoshino Shizuka stepped out from within.

Only at this moment did Xiao Nan react. Startled, her body scattered into a large number of white papers, which then gathered again in the air.

Upon seeing that it was Hoshino Shuichi, he breathed a sigh of relief, but was also somewhat taken aback: "You just now..."

She saw the time portal behind Hoshino Shuichi closing.

Hoshita Shuichi chuckled: "I just developed a new space-time ninjutsu, so I gave it a try."

"Space-Time Ninjutsu".

Konan was alarmed: "Is your Body Flicker Technique also a space-time ninjutsu?"

Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "That one was developed by the Second Hokage, and it couldn't handle some situations, so a new one was developed."

Upon hearing this, Konan immediately thought of Obito Uchiha's eye technique and concluded that Hoshino Shuichi developed it to counter the Mangekyou Sharingan.

She landed and returned to her seat, then continued her work.

Hoshita Shuichi didn't leave immediately, saying, "The New Year is coming soon, is there any need to be so busy?"

"Are you going alone this year? Why don't you come to Konoha with me?"

Xiao Nan said calmly, "Your tricks won't work on me."

"I heard you're engaged to the Fifth Mizukage?"

"Doesn't your girlfriend from Konoha mind?"

"Tsk," Hoshino Shuichi sensed a sour smell and couldn't help but laugh, "You should say my girlfriends from Konoha."

Xiao Nan looked up in astonishment, speechless for a moment.

Hoshita Shuichi shamelessly said, "As someone who aims to unify the ninja world, unify all countries, and create a new world order, it's perfectly reasonable for me to have concubines in order to propagate my family, isn't it?"

Konan snapped out of her daze and said coldly, "I thought you only entered into the marriage alliance with the Fifth Mizukage to swallow up Kirigakure!"

Hoshita Shuichi was surprised: "I didn't expect you to think that way."

"But thinking about it this way isn't so bad."

He stroked his chin thoughtfully: "This is a good, gentle approach. Why don't we arrange a marriage alliance?"

Xiao Nan's eyes were cold.

However, Hoshino Shuichi sensed the stirring in her heart.

Of course, it wasn't because he sensed Xiaonan's attraction.

It was simply that I sensed the unusual fluctuations in Xiao Nan's thoughts and brainwaves at that moment.

Clearly, Xiao Nan wasn't as cold as she appeared on the surface.

Electromagnetic escape is indeed useful, but it needs further development!

Indeed, in the previous "flash of inspiration," Hoshino not only mastered space-time ninjutsu, but also finally mastered electromagnetic release.

Magnet Release + Lightning Release!

Magnetic field + electric field!

"Nagato and the others will soon turn their attention to the other tailed beasts, and you may not win."

Xiao Nan suddenly spoke up.

Hard mouth!

Hoshita Shuichi shook his head: "Konan, in your and Nagato's eyes, Uchiha Madara is the ultimate enemy, but in my eyes, Uchiha Madara is not."

"Furthermore, you know nothing about my strength."

Konan was startled: "Didn't you show your full power back in Kirigakure?"

"That's impossible."

Although she did not witness the battle firsthand, she had already learned about its course from the gate of Changmen.

That kind of power couldn't possibly be anything less than full force.

Hoshita Shuichi chuckled: "Have you forgotten the space-time ninjutsu you just used?"

"I'm a genius!"

Although it's cheating.

"So you all have to work hard, otherwise the gap between you and me will only widen."

"Don't go back on your word when you become my assistant."

As he spoke, the portal to another dimension reappeared behind Hoshino. He waved to Konan and said, "Happy New Year in advance. I'm off now."

Before Konan could speak, Hoshino Shuichi had already taken a step back and disappeared into the space-time portal.

Xiao Nan hesitated, then sighed with mixed feelings.

At that moment, Nagato pushed the door open and entered from the outside, saying, "His opinion can actually be adopted."

"The integration of our village into Konoha, just like the Hidden Grass Village, would only benefit us. You could take advantage of this and become one of Konoha's high-ranking members."

"Moreover, if the village were to be swallowed up by Konoha like the Grass Village, none of the other three great ninja villages, except for the Hidden Mist Village, would want to see it."

Konan frowned upon hearing this: "Nagato, have you lost confidence?"

Do you believe him? Do you think he can really do that?

Nagato said calmly, "I don't trust anyone, I only trust our own strength."

"If we analyze it objectively, he certainly has the ability to do it."

"However, his methods were too soft."

"This time he could have taken advantage of the situation to take over Kirigakure, but he chose this weak approach instead."

Konan pondered, "If Konoha were to swallow Kirigakure now, the other three great ninja villages would immediately join forces, which would actually benefit us."

"Although we cooperate with him, we are also competitors."

Nagato understood this, of course, but he didn't want Hoshinobi Shuichi to be at peace, which is why he suggested integrating Amegakure into Konoha to exacerbate the conflicts between the various ninja villages.

He learned a lot from Shuichi Hoshino.

Moreover, regardless of who wins the bet between him and Hoshino Shuichi, they will achieve their goal.

This step is a win-win situation!

Of course, this is also a way to protect Xiao Nan.

If... if he loses and dies in battle.

And Konan continues to carry on Yahiko's dream.

The reason for this thought is that Nagato had begun to doubt his own strength deep down.

Let's prepare for next year!

Nagato said, "Now Hoshinobi Shuichi's influence in the ninja world is too strong, and other ninja villages dare not oppose Konoha."

"But if the village is like the Grass Village, the other ninja villages will not be the same as before, which will also benefit our plan to seize the tailed beasts."

Xiao Nan's expression changed: "Isn't this too hasty?"

"Moreover, with Hoshino Shuichi's intelligence, he wouldn't fail to see through your scheme."

At this moment, Xiao Nan suddenly became a little flustered.

Nagato said calmly, "This is an open conspiracy."

"Xiao Nan, you don't need to worry too much about the past. We're moving towards the future."

"I think Yahiko would also want you to do that."

Xiao Nan's heart raced even more.

……

In the training grounds outside the Forest of Death in Konoha Village, Hoshino Shuichi walked out of the space-time gate and his attention fell on the Word Tree.

Activate the entry 【Lord of Time and Space】.

Your spatial and temporal talents have increased by 100%, your mental strength by 100%, your nerve reaction speed by 100%, and your physique by 100%. As the master of space and time, it is only natural for you to travel freely through space and time.

The effect of the entry took hold, and Xingxia Xiuyi truly felt it.

They have become more sensitive to time and space, and have become adept at using the newly developed time-space gate.

Of course, the most significant improvements are in mental strength and physical fitness, because Hoshino Shuichi's starting point is now too high.

Previously, his chakra limit had already exceeded that of the Nine-Tails after obtaining the Senju Hashirama Sage Body. Now it has doubled again. Hoshino Shuichi estimated that it is now as much as 3 Kurama.

After the physical transformation ended, Hoshino Shizuka slightly raised his hand.

The next moment, tiny grains of iron sand flew out from the ground, hovered in the air, and gathered together to form an iron sword.

Electromagnetic Escape!

This is completely different from the previous magnetic escape.

Whether it's Hoshino Shuichi's Magnet Release or the Magnet Release of the Third and Fourth Kazekage, both involve magnetizing chakra and penetrating it into the earth to utilize the metal and iron beneath, forming iron sand and gold sand for control in combat.

Therefore, the Third and Fourth Kazekage were unable to control their chakra before it came into contact with their opponent's weapon.

Hoshita Shuichi has taken his Magnet Release technique a step further, mastering the magnetic field.

And now electromagnetic escape has taken another step forward.

Hoshino Shuichi didn't inject chakra into the ground just now; instead, he used the power of electromagnetic release to draw out iron from the ground and form iron sand.

Not only iron, but other non-ferrous metals can also be manipulated.

As Hoshino Shizuka tried things out little by little, her smile grew wider and wider.

It has a bit of a Magneto vibe to it.

"From today onwards, all metals, including gold and iron, are under my control. To carry such a weapon is tantamount to suicide."

With a slight twitch of his finger, the kunai in his ninja tool pouch flew out on their own and swam in the air like fish.

"The electromagnetic railgun should be fine from now on."

Hoshino Shuichi retrieved his kunai, and the iron sword floating in the air dispersed, then condensed into iron pellets the size of a thumb.

He took one, and circles of electricity appeared on his body, extending to his right arm with a crackling sound.

After mastering Electromagnetic Release, Hoshino Shuichi felt that the Electromagnetic Cannon was not so difficult after all.

"Hmm, we're still missing a target."

As Hoshino Hideichi thought this, a rock giant rose up from the ground two hundred meters away.

The next moment, propelled by electromagnetic force, the iron ball in his hand shot out and struck the rock giant's chest in an instant. The terrifying kinetic energy split the rock giant in two.

"good."

Hoshita Shuichi smiled broadly: "It's just that the accuracy is a bit lacking."

He was actually aiming at the head of the rock giant.

Of course, this was only his first attempt.

After thinking for a moment, Hoshino Hideichi created a shadow clone and had it perform different defenses to test the electromagnetic cannon's attack power.

Takemikazuchi Armor!

Hive Shield!

Clearly, no single defense is sufficient to withstand an electromagnetic cannon attack, especially at such close range.

With each attempt, Hoshino Shuichi's precision improved, and he gained more and more control.

The initial velocity of the projectile also increased.

However, with the addition of the Hive Shield, Wood Release, and Takemikazuchi Armor, the current electromagnetic cannon is unable to penetrate all defenses in one go.

But Hoshino Shuichi knew that this was not the limit.

His electromagnetic escape technique was only recently mastered.

"Another problem is that the strength of projectiles formed from ordinary iron sand is not enough."

After some attempts, Hoshino Shuichi discovered a number of problems.

"Truth-Seeking Ball... no, Truth-Seeking Ball for short distances is fine."

Hoshita Shuichi immediately thought of Yin-Yang Release. He could learn from Nagato and the others and use Yin-Yang Release to create black rod-like substances as projectiles.

Before mastering the Yin-Yang Escape Technique and the Truth-Seeking Ball, one must specially craft bullets.

After the initial plan was finalized, Hoshino Shuichi handed over the subsequent tasks to his shadow clone.

Once you've mastered the electromagnetic gun, you need to break it down into sections to deal with different enemies and scenarios, so as not to waste power by using excessive force.

……

Back in his study, Hoshino Shizuka's thoughts returned to the entries.

Having acquired the title of "Master of Time and Space," the only remaining steps to synthesizing the title of "God of Ninjutsu" are the attributes of "Master of Taijutsu" and "Master of Body Flicker."

The former has already been triggered, and the technique has been developed to the second stage.

However, the [Master of Instantaneous Movement] skill has not yet been triggered.

Speaking of S-rank teleportation techniques, Hoshino Hideaki developed one long ago.

One more? Will it be completed directly like [Master Tracker]?

Hoshita Shuichi shook his head secretly, putting it aside for the time being.

Next, you can take down the [Martial Arts Master] title.

"Breath of Fire, Breath of Lightning, and next... Breath of Earth!"

Shuichi Hoshino had this idea before.

If Flame Breathing is suitable for most medical ninjas, then the Electric Breathing approach offered to Tsunade is suitable for medical jonin.

So the Breath of Thunder, and even the subsequent stages, were all tailor-made for him.

Flame Breathing is the foundation, burning life force to unleash powerful energy, laying the groundwork for Thunder Breathing.

Breath of Thunder enhances reaction speed and movement speed in all aspects.

But what Hideaki Hoshino, the Breath of the Earth, wants is power!

"To enhance power, one can change one's own density, thereby altering mass to achieve a significant increase, similar to the Super-Heavy Rock Technique, but without relying on Earth Release nature transformation."

Shuichi Hoshishita thought to himself, "It's a bit difficult, but not impossible."

"So after Earth Breathing... Wind Breathing is for defense."

The howling wind is not a wind-escape technique, but rather a defense using the power of air and manipulating airflow.

Hoshino Hideichi's brain was working at high speed, and before he knew it, it had gotten dark, and the aroma of food wafted from outside.

As she got up and went out, Asuka, who was busy in the kitchen, noticed her and turned to Hoshino Hideichi at the door, smiling, "It's almost New Year's, we should go and bring Yokura back."

Hoshino Hideichi shook his head: "Ye Cang will be spending the New Year in Daimyo Prefecture this year, and the base has gained quite a few new recruits."

The white mother and son, Hozuki Suigetsu, Kimimaro, and the newly added Momochi Zabuza.

So Yekura plans to stay there for the New Year this year.

"I see."

Asuka felt a little disappointed.

She enjoys the lively and happy feeling of having many people at home.

I wish I had a few more children.

Since Yekura wasn't coming, Asuka thought for a moment and then asked, "Would Mei Terumi be coming to celebrate the New Year with us?"

Hoshita Shuichi thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask after we finish eating."

Asuka smiled and said, "Let's call Tengu as well!"

Hoshino Hideichi chuckled: "You decide."

Asuka's eyes crinkled with laughter upon hearing this.

After dinner, Hoshinoichi arrived at Kirigakure.

Mei Terumi, still in her office, was delighted: "Why did you come over?"

Hoshino Hideichi smiled and said, "Of course, I've come to pick you up for the New Year."

Mei Terumi hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Um... is that alright?"

Hoshita Shuichi chuckled: "Don't worry, Dean Nonou and Asuka-neechan will both welcome you very much."

"Really?"

Mei Terumi laughed happily: "Then when are we going?"

Although Hoshino Shuichi is a womanizer, she still hopes to gain the approval of her other family members.

Especially the pharmacist Nono, who is very special to Hoshino Shuichi.

"Now."

Hoshino Hideichi blinked and said, "Now I'll go home and pack my things, and just create a clone."

Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi's thighs tightened immediately.
