Konoha's lexicon of ninjas

"Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, likes the desert environment, so he decided to go to the Land of Winds, and he also wants to continue to train the previous generation of Jinchuriki."

Minami Namikaze.

Hoshino Hideichi was not surprised to hear this.

How could I easily give up something I've put so much effort into?

Minato Namikaze continued, "The Two-Tails has chosen to become Yugito's summoning beast, and the Three-Tails has decided to follow Rin."

"The Four-Tails returned to Iwagakure, intending to train Kurotsuchi and challenge Shukaku to a match."

"The Five-Tails has decided to stay in Konoha."

"The Six-Tails chose to be with its Jinchūriki, Utakata."

"Both the Seven-Tails and the Eight-Tails chose to stay in Konoha and did not choose to become summoning beasts."

The Seven-Tails didn't have much of a relationship with the previous Jinchūriki, but the Eight-Tails... if Killer Bee were here, it would definitely choose to continue teaming up with him without hesitation.

Hoshino Shuichi thought for a moment and smiled, "Teacher, why don't you give them the identity of a Ninja League ninja or a Ninja Beast? If they want a mission, they can definitely carry it out."

Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki were both taken aback, then Kushina gave a thumbs up: "As expected of Shuichi!"

Minato Namikaze smiled and nodded, "This is indeed a good way to further integrate the Tailed Beasts into the ninja community."

Nine-Tailed Fox said, "We have no interest in ordinary missions."

Hoshino Hideichi chuckled, "Even ordinary missions can be quite fun sometimes."

"By the way, Kurama, you can teach Naruto properly. You don't want to be mocked by Shukaku and the others, do you?"

Nine-Tailed Fox sneered, "I won't fall for your tricks!"

Despite her stubbornness, Kurama had already decided in her heart to properly train that stupid Naruto.

We can't possibly lose to that stinky tanuki, Shukaku, can we?

After discussing the Tailed Beasts, Minato Namikaze continued, "Shuichi, I've decided to have the League host the first Chunin Championship. This is also an opportunity for the various ninja villages to gradually integrate."

Upon hearing this, Hoshino Hideichi laughed and said, "It's fine for the teacher to decide."

"From now on, I am only the head of the Root Special Training Department."

After saying that, the person simply disappeared.

Minato Namikaze smiled helplessly: "I originally wanted Shuichi to take a position in the league."

Kushina Uzumaki succinctly revealed the truth: "Shuichi's prestige is too high, so he probably doesn't want to affect your authority as the first speaker."

"Besides, this lecherous guy has so many women now, he doesn't have time to help you."

When the topic turned to women, Minato Namikaze quickly changed the subject: "Kushina, who do you think would be suitable for the training spot?"

Kushina Uzumaki pondered, but then her gaze shifted to Kurama (the Nine-Tails), and she asked with a smile, "Kurama, what do you think?"

Kurama replied without hesitation, "Of course it's that guy Naruto."

Minato Namikaze said awkwardly, "Well, Naruto is still too young."

Kurama was joking, saying, "As the Hokage, you either choose your own people or choose the person with the most potential."

Minato Namikaze nodded: "Then Kakashi."

He is both one of our own and the person with the most potential.

……

After leaving the Hokage Building, Hoshino Shuichi opened a time-space portal and went straight to the medical camp.

The main force of the Allied Shinobi Forces has gradually withdrawn to the various ninja villages, but the medical teams are still there.

Most of the lightly wounded have been transferred, but some seriously wounded still need to be treated.

When Hoshino arrived, even Tsunade was busy.

Hoshino Hideichi quickly stepped forward and used a clone to replace Tsunade, then took her for a walk in the woods.

"Is it really okay to seal Kaguya Otsutsuki and Madara Uchiha inside the Memory Palace?"

"Tsunade asked."

In her view, there was danger hidden within.

Hoshita Shuichi put his arm around Tsunade's waist and laughed, "Don't worry, they were no match for me even when they were at their peak, let alone after I sealed their souls."

"Moreover, I am much stronger now than I was back then."

"Finally... Kaguya Otsutsuki has agreed to cooperate with me."

Tsunade immediately stopped in her tracks, her gaze towards Hoshita Shuichi turning dangerous: "Others can, but she can't!"

Hoshita Shuichi felt like he'd been wronged: "Hey, Tsunade, do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Tsunade smiled mockingly: "You're even more of a lecher than Jiraiya!"

Hoshita Shuichi immediately covered Tsunade's mouth, softening his tone, and after letting go, he said fiercely, "This is punishment for distrusting your husband!"

Tsunade, her face flushed and panting, stared at Hoshino Shuichi.

Hoshita Shuichi smiled, kissed Tsunade on the forehead, and said softly with a smile, "It's true that a cooperation has been reached."

"Kaguya Otsutsuki, who possesses the Rinne Sharingan with nine tomoe, has mastered several bloodline limits. If it weren't for my lack of combat experience, defeating her wouldn't have been so easy for me."

"Therefore, these bloodline limits are all valuable assets, and I, who possess the Rinne Sharingan, can also learn them from her."

Since she could even learn the Sharingan, Tsunade had no doubt that Hoshino Shuichi could learn it too, and she lowered her guard.

She wasn't just jealous for no reason; she felt that Kaguya Otsutsuki was an extremely dangerous person, completely different from characters like Pakura and Konan.

Hoshita Shuichi understood Tsunade's concerns and revealed information about Otsutsuki Isshiki and the main Otsutsuki family.

Tsunade frowned after hearing this: "In other words, this war is far from over."

Hoshita Hideyuki nodded: "Yes, it won't end unless the Otsutsuki clan is wiped out."

"The Otsutsuki clan constantly searches for planets like the Shinobi World in the starry sky to plant the Divine Tree and harvest the Chakra Fruits. It's impossible that they would ignore this place."

"What's more, there are already two Ten-Tails here."

Tsunade nodded without saying anything, but subconsciously touched her abdomen.

Hoshino Hideichi reached out and covered Tsunade's hand, saying, "Don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen to the child."

"Um."

Tsunade nodded, then leaned her head against Hoshino Shuichi.

……

By evening, the medical team had basically finished their work, and the remaining wounded could be transferred after daybreak.

After making the arrangements, leaving one clone behind just in case, Hoshino Shuichi led Yakushi Nonou, Tsunade, Asuka, and Shizune back to Konoha ahead of time.

Then he went to the Land of Rain to bring Konan over as well, and now the whole family was together.

Yakushi Nono, Tsunade, Shizune, Asuka, Hagura, Tengu, Mei Terumi, Konan.

Surrounded by women, Hoshino Shizuka felt a little dizzy after just one drink.

Is there anything happier than this?

Have.

Tonight, I'll stack Asuka, Yoru, and Tengu into a roman.

……

After dinner, Hoshino Shuichi arrived at Orochimaru's experimental base.

This place was previously sealed off, but it has now been reopened, and Zhishui is waiting at the entrance.

The two entered together and soon found Orochimaru studying Madara Uchiha's corpse.

Orochimaru glanced up, then continued with his work, chuckling, "Shuichi-kun, you're always so secretive."

"To be honest, you give people the impression that you have everything under control."

"Did you already know the secret of the Eye of the Moon Plan, and also knew of Kaguya Otsutsuki's existence?"

Hoshita Shuichi didn't answer, but stepped forward and asked, "Senior, are you confident in using Madara Uchiha's corpse and Hashirama's cells to clone him?"

"clone?"

Orochimaru raised an eyebrow: "It's probably not for the Rinnegan, is it?"

Upon returning to Konoha, he encountered Nagato and learned that Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan was in Nagato's possession.

In that case, it's clearly not for the Rinnegan.

Hoshino Hideichi laughed and said, "Cloning the Rinnegan is almost impossible."

"However, Madara Uchiha and the First Hokage were the reincarnations of Indra and Ashura, the sons of the Sage of Six Paths, respectively. The power they inherited was fused together, drawing out the power of the Sage of Six Paths, which is why Madara Uchiha awakened the Rinnegan."

Orochimaru looked up: "I see. Shuichi-kun wants the power of the Sage of Six Paths, or rather, his physique."

"So... is Shuichi-kun going to resurrect the Sage of Six Paths?"

Uchiha Shisui was startled and subconsciously looked at Hoshino Shuichi.

Hoshita Hideichi shook his head: "The Sage of Six Paths isn't someone we can revive at will."

The Sage of Six Paths is currently in a soul state, but even Hoshino Shuichi cannot determine his strength at this time.

However, judging from the original story, although the Sage of Six Paths died, he actually broke free from the limitations of the physical body.

To be honest, even Hoshino Shuichi isn't confident he can definitely beat the Sage of Six Paths.

Orochimaru's eyes flickered upon hearing this.

Hoshino Shuichi’s seemingly ordinary sentence contained a wealth of information for him.

Has the Sage of Six Paths really died?

"Body and spirit..."

Orochimaru recalled his conversation with Hoshino Shuichi.

The development of the Reanimation Jutsu was actually inspired by Shuichi Hoshino.

"interesting……"

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and laughed, "You can give it a try. I'd also like to try out a Six Paths level body."

He was originally quite satisfied with his current body, but after witnessing the power of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, Madara Uchiha, he lost interest.

Hoshino Hideaki said, "My experimental base with Tsunade has some research data that might be of great use to you, senior."

Orochimaru nodded: "I'm very interested too."

"Of course, it would be even more perfect if Shuichi-kun could contribute some of his own cells."

Shuichi Hoshino refused without hesitation: "I don't like having a bunch of clones created from me."

Orochimaru wasn't surprised, but he was still somewhat disappointed: "What a pity."

In his view, Hoshino Shuichi is more worthy of research.

An ordinary bloodline has accomplished so many incredible things; there must be a huge secret hidden within.

……

After leaving the experimental base, Hoshino asked, "Shisui, what are your plans for the rest of your training?"

Uchiha Shisui turned to Shisui and asked, "Shuichi, do you think I can awaken the Rinnegan?"

Upon hearing this, Hoshino Hideichi couldn't help but laugh and said, "The Rinnegan is also formed by the fusion of two chakra nature transformations. Theoretically speaking, it is certainly possible to do it, just like I did."

"I can learn the Sharingan from you, Shisui, so you can learn the Rinnegan from me in the same way, although it is extremely difficult."

"The Sharingan, Rinnegan, and Rinne Sharingan can be considered three different eye techniques."

"The highest level of the Sharingan is currently the Mangekyou Sharingan. The highest level of the Rinne Sharingan is currently the Rinne Sharingan with nine tomoe, and it seems that the Rinne Sharingan can only transform towards the Rinne Sharingan at present."

As for the Byakugan, the strongest one I've seen so far is Kaguya Otsutsuki's. Its expressiveness is far beyond that of ordinary Byakugan, and it can even be compared to the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Then there's the Tenseigan. Otsutsuki Toneri's Tenseigan chakra pattern is in no way inferior to Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan.

"Awakening the Rinnegan requires a massive amount of chakra."

"The power of immortals is indispensable."

Hoshita Shuichi suggested, "The Rinnegan can be a long-term goal. In the short term, you can try other nature transformations and fuse with other bloodline limits, which can also enhance the power of Susanoo."

Uchiha Shisui nodded in agreement.

Hoshino Shuichi has set an example in enhancing the power of Susanoo.

Hoshino Shuichi continued, "Bloodline Limit, Bloodline Elimination, Bloodline Encyclopedia, this is also a visible path, but of course, it is also a path that only a very few people can walk."

"But climbing a mountain and reaching the summit is something that only a few people can do."

"Talent, temperament, perseverance, even luck..."

"But we are still young."

Hoshino patted Shisui on the shoulder: "Shisui, you should find a girlfriend and get married to pass on your bloodline and will."

Uchiha Shisui gave a slightly embarrassed smile: "I've already made that plan."

Hoshino Shizuku burst into laughter: "Go for it, Shisui!"

"Our children will go to school together then, and they can become classmates!"

……

Back home, Shizune and the others were not there, so Hoshino Shuichi went to the study.

After lowering his eyes, Hoshino Shuichi did not go directly to train with Kaguya Otsutsuki, but instead came to the Konoha Village created by the illusion, where Madara Uchiha's soul was sealed.

On the Hokage Rock, Madara Uchiha, who had been staring blankly at the village below, turned to look at the suddenly appearing Shuichi Hoshita: "You also want me to become a pawn in your game?"

Hoshino Hideichi chuckled lightly: "It's not really that; it's just mutual exploitation and mutual benefit!"

"I'm not like Black Zetsu."

Speaking of Black Zetsu, Madara Uchiha's expression turned grim.

This is a great disgrace to him!

It was also the shattering of his dream!

The so-called "Eye of the Moon" project is a complete scam.

And his dream was worthless.

Compared to Hashirama, he still lost!

Therefore, sealed in Konoha Village, Madara Uchiha had no intention of breaking the seal. Instead, he would just sit there every day, gazing at the peaceful village in a daze.

Although he contributed to the establishment of Konoha, this was not his achievement, but rather the work of Hashirama.

Standing atop the Hokage Rock, overlooking the entire Hidden Leaf Village, Hoshino said, "Madara, if I had been born in the era of you and the First Hokage, I would actually have chosen you!"

Madara Uchiha snapped out of his daze: "What do you mean?"

Hoshita Hideichi laughed and said, "It's simple, unify all the ninja villages by force!"

Madara Uchiha scoffed, "But you didn't do that."

Hoshino Hideichi shook his head: "Because there's no need to do that now."

"If necessary, I will not hesitate to use force."

"Although even if all the ninja villages were unified, along with all the countries, it would be impossible to achieve lasting peace, but at least the ninja world could be stabilized for a period of time."

Madara Uchiha frowned: "Even unifying all the ninja villages, or even all the countries, cannot achieve lasting peace?"

"Is it really only through mutual understanding between people that this can be achieved?"

Hoshino Hideaki shook his head: "The First Generation's ideas were too simplistic."

"You haven't lost your parents or loved ones, so how can you understand someone who has lost both?"

"You want to drag everyone into a dream in the name of peace, but who can understand that?"

"You killed someone's parents because those parents killed your parents. Can that person understand you?"

"Can you understand him?"

"Mutual understanding between people is the ideal state, but ideals are often divorced from reality."

Madara Uchiha said, "So, there can't be lasting peace in this world?"

Hoshino Hideichi sighed and nodded reluctantly: "It's cruel, but that's true."

"At least, in my view, there is no way to see lasting peace."

"In your time, the First Hokage's actions did indeed bring peace to the ninja world, but his death disrupted the balance of power, and war broke out due to conflicts of interest."

"Now I am able to gradually unify all the ninja villages and all the countries, and create a peaceful ninja world."

"But if I die one day, will peace continue indefinitely?"

"Aren't there ambitious people who want to be above everyone else?"

"Will this unified country fall apart again due to internal conflicts?"

"Anything is possible!"

Madara Uchiha said, "Therefore, if there were no Black Zetsu and no Kaguya Otsutsuki, the Eye of the Moon Plan would have succeeded and could have created lasting peace!"

Hoshino Hideichi shook his head: "That's an illusory peace, a peace that belongs only to you."

"Moreover, there are other Otsutsuki clan members outside this planet."

"There are beings that even Kaguya Otsutsuki fears. Your power might not even amount to anything in front of them. So what do you have to maintain this peace that belongs only to you?"

Madara Uchiha murmured, "Is everything meaningless?"

Hoshino Hideichi chuckled lightly: "I only uphold the peace of my own era."

"After me, it will be up to the younger generation."

"Each generation has its own responsibilities. Never expect to fixate on one thing forever, because everything is constantly changing."

"That includes you and me!"

"Ban, you rely too much on your own strength and don't trust others."

If it were anyone else lecturing him, Madara Uchiha would have already shown him the power of his Sharingan and Rinnegan. But now, all he could do was scoff, "Don't you only believe in your own power?"

Hoshino Shigeyuki paused for a moment, thought about it seriously, and nodded, saying, "That's true to some extent. Thank you for reminding me."

He then asked, "Ban, if you were given another chance, do you think you could achieve your Eye of the Moon plan?"

Madara Uchiha replied decisively: "Of course!"

"I will create lasting peace in another way!"

Hoshino Hideichi smiled and said, "Then let's give it a try!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the illusion changed.

Madara Uchiha found himself back in his old age, while White Zetsu beside him was reporting on a member of his clan: Obito Uchiha!

However, Madara Uchiha noticed a change in Obito Uchiha's situation and asked, "Where is Hoshino Shuichi?"

White Zetsu was taken aback: "Lord Madara, is there such a powerful ninja in the ninja world?"

Madara Uchiha paused for a moment, then chuckled, "Interesting..."

A world without Hoshino Shuichi?

How arrogant!

Do you feel that you changed everything?

Madara Uchiha sneered inwardly, then said to White Zetsu, "Let's guide him a little and test Obito Uchiha's potential!"

White Zetsu immediately laughed and said, "No problem, Lord Madara!" (End of Chapter)
