Konoha's lexicon of ninjas

"It's time to try it..."

When his physical compatibility was improved again last time, Hoshino Shuichi had thought about eating a part of the Ten-Tails to obtain its power and improve himself.

They refrained from speaking only because of the Ten-Tails' power.

And now, his physical condition has been improved several times again.

In terms of chakra alone, it is more than 40 times that of the Nine-Tails.

This is a power that surpasses that of anyone in the current ninja world.

In terms of physical constitution, no one can match him.

It's part of the Ten-Tails' body, which it can fully withstand. The only thing to consider is whether the physical body's compatibility can integrate the Ten-Tails' characteristics.

Hoshino Shuichi took out the ten-tailed beast fragment, which looked like a withered tree, from the glass jar, opened his mouth, bit it, chewed it, and swallowed it.

At first, I didn't feel anything; it really felt like eating dead wood.

However, after resonating with the power of the nine tailed beasts within his body, the wood chips he had ingested began to change. They started to come alive little by little, and then generated extremely fine threads that grew and spread within Hoshino Shuichi's body like roots.

Hoshino Shuichi immediately unleashed his chakra, using it to envelop and erode the threads, while his mouth continued to eat them all in one go.

After eating, Hoshino Shizuka observed the changes in his body.

After the fragments of the Ten-Tails revived, they grew fine threads that resembled roots, as if these threads replicated the meridian system within his body.

If his physique weren't strong enough, these threads would draw upon his chakra to nourish his body.

But now, those activated Ten-Tail fragments have combined with his individual cells, and the filaments have also merged with his meridian system, becoming the stripes on it.

"We've finally reached this point!"

Hoshino lowered his eyes, feeling the omnipresent natural energy in the natural world, and then took a breath.

As he inhaled, each cell in his body contracted, and a surge of natural energy immediately rushed into his body, flowing into each cell through the meridian system formed by the ten fine threads, becoming nutrients for the cells.

As he continued to inhale, the cells began to grow gigantic, and Hoshino Shuichi's size also continued to increase.

This is completely in a state of immortality.

Hoshino Hideaki opened his eyes and extracted a large amount of chakra in one breath, causing his body to shrink rapidly before returning to normal.

Golden chakra covered his entire body, transforming into golden robes.

The hem of the robe and the cuffs are decorated with lotus flowers, while the chest is adorned with symmetrical magatama.

"The quality of chakra has improved once again, and the chakra from Sage Mode and the power of the nine tailed beasts has been fused together."

Hoshino Shuichi examined himself, carefully sensing his surroundings.

While the amount of chakra hasn't increased, its quality has improved significantly. It can also absorb natural energy to replenish itself, just like a tailed beast.

This means that although he still has a chakra limit, he has a continuous way to replenish his chakra, which is faster than eating.

"This should be my own unique Sage of Six Paths Mode..."

Hoshino's eyes opened and closed, her golden kaleidoscope activated: "My eyes are in a state of budding activity again... Is this when I'm about to awaken the Rinnegan?"

Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan relied on the power of the Sage of Six Paths, but the Sage of Six Paths' power originated from Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Kaguya Otsutsuki's Rinne Sharingan came from the fruit of the Ten-Tails God Tree.

Now that Hoshino Shuichi has obtained the fundamental characteristics of the nine tailed beasts and the Gedo Mazo through the physical compatibility gained from the Word Tree, it is only natural that he has awakened the Rinnegan.

However, he only consumed a portion of the nine tailed beasts and the Gedo Mazo, and could not directly activate the Rinnegan.

This is somewhat similar to Madara Uchiha.

"Looks like I need to keep eating to quickly awaken the Rinnegan..."

Hoshino licked his lips.

Ten-Tails Jinchuriki?

No, he's going to eat the Ten-Tails!

After activating Six Paths Sage Mode, Hoshino-shita Shuichi stretched and went home.

At this time, only Tenyun was at home. Because of the recent preparations for war, Yakushi Nonou, Asuka, and Yekura were all very busy. Tenyun was not a member of the Konoha ninja group, so she became a housewife.

Seeing Hoshino Shuichi return at this hour, Tenyun, who came out of the kitchen, was overjoyed: "Shuichi, is there anything you'd like to eat tonight?"

Seeing Tianyun wearing a cheongsam and an apron, Xingxia Xiu's eyes lit up. He stepped forward, put his arm around the beauty's waist, and whispered in her ear, "I want to eat Sister Tianyun."

Tianyun gave Xingxia Xiuyi a charming glare: "Not now, I'll call Ye Cang tonight."

Hoshino Hideichi was immediately intrigued upon hearing this.

Tianyun was passionate, and Yecang was hesitant to accept. If they were together... However, he was already an adult. Only children make choices. Of course, he wanted them all.

He immediately carried Tianyun into the kitchen.

"ah……"

Tianyun exclaimed in surprise, but her fair arms had already encircled Xingxia Xiuyi's neck, and her long legs had wrapped around Xingxia Xiuyi's waist. Her eyes were watery and full of allure.

In the prime of his life, Hoshino Shuichi couldn't resist any longer and immediately pinned the mermaid down on the chopping board to begin his feast.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

After Tenyun's repeated pleas for mercy, and seeing that Yakushi Nonou and the others were about to return, Hoshishita Shuichi finally scattered seeds all over the field.

After carrying the defeated Tianyun into the bathroom, Xingxia Xiuyi returned to the kitchen to clean up the mess and finish cooking the food that Tianyun hadn't finished.

When Asuka and the others returned home, they were both surprised and delighted to see Hoshino Shuichi cooking for them.

During dinner, Yakushi Nonou asked, "I heard that Akatsuki has declared war. Is the war about to begin?"

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "Since war has been declared, a major battle is about to break out."

"Preparations have already been made, and the ninjas will be able to be assembled within a few days."

Seeing the somewhat solemn expressions on the women's faces, Hoshino Hideaki smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely win this battle!"

"And it won't last long."

Asuka smiled and said, "Of course we trust Shuichi, but can I come along and help out?"

Hoshino Hideichi shook his head: "Your sealing techniques are unlikely to be effective against the enemy. Stay in the medical ward; your talents can be fully utilized there."

Asuka was a little disappointed, but she still nodded obediently.

However, while Hoshino Shuichi was still having a happy meal,

The atmosphere inside the Allied Ninja Headquarters was not good.

The tactics had barely been finalized when one bad news after another began to arrive.

First, the Daimyo of the Land of Rain was killed by the Akatsuki.

Before the Fifth Mizukage, Terumi Mei, could relocate the daimyo families of Yu-no-Kuni and other provinces, one by one, the daimyo were swiftly eliminated.

Nagato is very fast.

Although Konan told Hoshishita Shuichi the news, Hoshishita Shuichi did not reveal the information.

Faced with this situation, the group discussed it for a while but still did not make the decision to send out Hoshino Shuichi.

If a daimyo dies, someone else will inherit his name. But if Hoshino Shuichi is ambushed, he'll have nowhere to turn for help.

The next day.

The Allied Shinobi Forces began to assemble.

In addition to the intelligence and perception forces that have already been established, five conventional combat forces have been set up.

The First Division was commanded by Onoki, the Second Division by the Fourth Raikage, the Third Division by the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, the Fourth Division by Jiraiya, and the Fifth Division by Admiral Mifune.

In addition, there is the medical and logistics unit commanded by Tsunade, and the Edo Tensei unit commanded by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

The Edo Tensei unit is specifically designed to target enemy Edo Tensei resurrected beings.

There is also an infiltration and reconnaissance unit, commanded by Hyuga Hizashi, which is specifically responsible for monitoring and reconnaissance of the White Zetsu army's movements.

In three days, an army of over 80,000 ninjas gathered.

Meanwhile, Hyuga Hizashi continued to send back intelligence that the White Zetsu army had split into three groups.

One force headed directly south along the peninsula, while the other two were crossing the sea and were expected to land in the Land of Waterfalls, the Land of Rice Fields, and the Land of Frost, before the three armies entered the Land of Fire together.

The headquarters of the Allied Ninja Forces.

Having received the information, Tobirama Senju said, "Monkey, give the order!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, then said, "The Fourth Division should immediately head north to the Land of Rice Fields and the Land of Frost to set up defenses. We must not allow any enemy to break through the defenses and advance south."

Jiraiya solemnly replied, "Understood!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Hoshino Shuichi also immediately created a clone to follow.

This clone is not only for preventing White Zetsu spies, but also for the White Zetsu themselves.

After Jiraiya left, Hiruzen Sarutobi continued to issue orders.

Onoki commanded the First Division, while the Fourth Kazekage commanded the Third Division. The latter was responsible for confronting the enemy forces from the direction of the Land of Waterfall head-on, while the former was responsible for flanking attacks.

Then the Fourth Raikage's Second Division and Mifune's Fifth Division will head north together to break into the peninsula, taking charge of the enemy force with the largest number of personnel.

However, the Second Division is also the strongest of the five divisions of the Allied Shinobi Forces.

Not only does it have the largest number of people, but it also includes geniuses from various ninja villages such as Kakashi, Guy, Maki, Yugito, and Yotsuchi.

As each unit set off, Hoshino Hideichi had a clone accompanying him.

The medical corps is the best option to leave Konoha. They will also head north and set up camp on the border of the Land of Fire.

However, Tsunade did not go there in person, but instead took charge of overseeing medical and logistical support in Konoha.

The actual leaders of the frontline medical unit were Pharmacist Nono and Asuka.

In addition, silence is also included.

Yekura was in Jiraiya's fourth unit, while Konan was in the third unit.

Since the White Zetsu was inside Obito Uchiha's body, the Immortal White Zetsu and White Zetsu Tobi were assigned by Hoshino Shizuka to Pakura and Konan respectively, just in case.

As for Shizune and Asuka, since they are in the medical unit and not on the front lines, and the medical unit also has detachments stationed there, the danger has been minimized.

The day the medical corps set off north.

After serving Tsunade and Tenyun all night, Hoshinoshige did not rest but went to the study.

The final battle is just a day or two away, and this year's "flash of inspiration" can't wait until the end of the year to be used.

Once fully charged, Hoshino Shuichi activated "A Flash of Inspiration".

Meanwhile.

A mountain cemetery.

Under the gazes of Madara Uchiha, Obito Uchiha, Orochimaru, and Black Zetsu, Nagato formed six Ten-Tails Coffin Seals above the Ten-Tails' head.

In an instant, the entire Ten-Tails began to shrink into Nagato's body, causing the surrounding space to seem to distort.

In the blink of an eye, under the gaze of Orochimaru and the others, only a white sphere remained in the air.

Then, with a cracking sound, the sphere shattered, like a broken eggshell, and a brand new Nagato appeared.

"Such powerful chakra, and it feels completely different from before!"

Orochimaru was shocked, his pupils contracting sharply.

Under his gaze, Nagato's red hair had turned white, as had his skin.

The Akatsuki's original divine robes were also changed to white, with black magatama decorations on the chest and sleeves.

This divine robe is entirely formed from powerful chakra!

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw mysterious black spheres appear behind Nagato.

Snapped!

Nagato opened his eyes, his right hand making a grasping motion, and a black tin staff appeared.

Rokudo Nagato, reporting for duty!

Obito Uchiha was equally shocked by Nagato's power, and thought to himself, "Even Madara Uchiha probably wouldn't be able to control Nagato in this state, so we can only weaken him first."

"But can Shuichi and the others defeat such a powerful force?"

"It seems I need to step in at this crucial moment."

At this moment, Orochimaru, looking at the Truth-Seeking Balls, couldn't help but ask, "What kind of ninjutsu is this? Is it the same as the black rods created by Yin-Yang Release?"

Black Zetsu explained considerately, "Of course they're different."

"Although both are made using Yin-Yang Release, this Truth-Seeking Ball is formed by the fusion of seven chakra nature transformations of Yin-Yang and Five Elements. Although it is not a Bloodline Limit, it has power that surpasses that of a Bloodline Limit."

Madara Uchiha then laughed and said, "This is a powerful force that can only be possessed by those who have reached the Six Paths realm."

"Those who do not possess the power of the Six Paths will turn into nothingness in his presence, and any ninjutsu of any element will be ineffective against him."

Orochimaru was deeply shocked: "Such astonishing power!"

At that moment, his gaze burned with intense fervor, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Shuichi-kun, it seems we both underestimated the power of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki!"

"This battle seems a bit uncertain..."

At this moment, Orochimaru sensed a terrifying power emanating from Nagato that surpassed even that of Shuichi Hoshino.

Meanwhile, Nagato, who was hovering in the air and looking down at Madara Uchiha and the others, also felt as if he were looking down on ants.

The difference between before and after becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki is enormous.

At this moment, both Madara Uchiha and Orochimaru were seen through in his eyes.

Then, Nagato looked up, his gaze seemingly piercing through countless layers of time and space, descending upon Konoha: "Hoshita Shuichi, you've lost this battle!"

"However, I will keep my promise and give you a place in the peaceful new ninja world."

"And Yahiko...you will eventually see a peaceful world!"

At this moment, supported by a powerful force, Nagato changed his mind.

He abandoned his idea of ​​helping Hoshino Shuichi and Konan get together.

He's destined to win this battle!

After creating a peaceful world, he intends to use his immense power of the Six Paths to resurrect the deceased Yahiko, allowing him to witness firsthand the peaceful world he has created! (End of Chapter)
