Konoha's lexicon of ninjas

For the next few days, Xingxia Xiuyi either practiced meditation or spent time with his wife.

Furthermore, with Tenyun and Yekura becoming pregnant one after another, Terumi Mei and Konan have become more proactive.

It's a pity that the passionate Tianyun is pregnant, otherwise Xingxia Xiuyi thinks he could try the four-layer version.

On this day, Hoshino Hideichi received a notice that his leisure time was finally over and he had to start working at Root.

The training list is neatly arranged on the desk.

After sitting down, Hoshino Shizuka picked it up.

The first name is Kakashi Hatake, so it's not surprising that he's also associated with Shu Hoshino.

A 12-year-old Jonin who has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique and is proficient in Lightning Release, possessing astonishing potential.

And next to Kakashi's name is a note: Recommended by the Fourth Hokage.

Hoshita Shuichi nodded slightly.

When it comes to talent and potential, Kakashi is indeed in a league of his own.

Continue.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke.

An acquaintance, the son of the Third Hokage.

He is also very talented, especially proficient in earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of escape technique).

Next up are Shisui, Kai, and Yamato.

That makes perfect sense.

Below them are ninjas from other ninja villages.

Kisame Hoshigaki of Kirigakure.

Hey, Ringo Yuri?

Hoshinoichi's gaze fixed on Kiba, the second generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, as described in the original work.

However, in the original story, he died young, succumbing to illness before the Fourth Shinobi World War.

It's obvious that Kabuto chose her instead of Raiga Kurosuki.

He pulled out Ringo Ameyuri's file from the side.

Age 15, height 140CM... Lightning Release genius.

Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said, "Looks like he's destined to be a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!"

Raiden doesn't have a master yet!

There's also Kisame Hoshigaki, who can wield a sword.

"And Zabuza... Actually, the Longsword Needle would suit him well too, as it can be used in conjunction with the Silent Assassination Technique."

Putting down Ringo Ameyuri's information, Hoshishita Shuichi continued reading.

The two Yugito from Kumogakure are not surprising.

Then there's Darui, a user of the Storm Release bloodline limit, and he's 13 years old.

Note after the name: Recommended by the Fourth Raikage.

"He's already mastered Storm Release at such a young age..."

Hoshino Shizuka sighed slightly.

Next up is the selection of people from Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village).

There is only one Yellow Earth, the son of the third generation of Earth Shadow.

Next up is Xiao Nan.

Hideaki Hoshino paused for a moment, then thought about it and said it was a good fit.

Further down, there's Maki of Sunagakure.

Of the 12 people, Konoha held the dominant position.

This isn't about favoritism; it's just that Konoha has more geniuses.

Of course, if Yekura were still from Sunagakure, she would definitely be on the list.

If Killer Bee hadn't died, he would definitely have had a place in the game.

There's also Sasori of the Red Sand Village and Roshi of the Iwagakure Village.

Unfortunately, Killer Bee, Sasori, and Roshi all died.

Just then, someone knocked on the door and entered. Hoshino Shizuka looked up and was taken aback: "Red Bean?"

Holding the documents, Hongdou said in a serious tone, "Lord Xiuyi, from today onwards, I will be your assistant."

Someone who replaced Tianyun?

Hoshino Shuichi felt a strange unease, but outwardly nodded calmly and asked, "Anko, have all the people on the list arrived?"

Hongdou nodded: "We've arrived. Lord Xiuyi, the assembly was completed yesterday."

Hoshino nods slightly: "Then let them wait for me at number 11."

"clear!"

Hongdou nodded and placed the document in her hand on the desk: "Lord Shuichi, this is a document sent by the Fourth Hokage. It contains information about the first Chunin Championship."

Hoshita Shuichi picked up the book and started flipping through it. Anko glanced at Hoshita Shuichi a couple of times, then silently left the office.

The Chunin Championship was something Konoha had planned to hold before, but it was restarted due to the establishment of the new Ninja Alliance, and was expanded to the entire alliance.

Although it is called the Five Kage Joint Expanded Council, the five major ninja villages, along with the ninja samurai, and smaller ninja villages like Takigakure, have also been gradually incorporated into the Ninja Alliance during this period.

Therefore, the scale of the restarted Chunin Championship can be said to be the entire ninja world.

For this reason, the opening time has been postponed again.

The Five Kage Alliance's expanded council has been drafted and will be launched after the first Chunin Exams of the new Ninja Alliance, with the expected date being September.

The Chunin Exams are in July.

The great unification of the entire ninja world began with the Chunin Exams and the Chunin Championship.

A moment later, Hongdou returned: "Lord Xiuyi, everything is ready!"

Xingxia Xiu nodded, put down the documents, got up and left.

Hongdou followed behind, her eyes fixed on the tall, imposing back of the man in front of her, feeling her face burning: Xiuyi-kun is so handsome!

No wonder so many outstanding female ninjas were interested in her.

But I can too!

……

Soon, Hoshino Shuichi arrived at his destination.

Red Bean closed the door and stood guard outside.

Hoshita Shuichi glanced at Kakashi, Shisui, and the others, and smiled, "You all should know me, so there's no need for introductions."

"You should already know something about this training."

"The classification of strength above Jonin is my personal understanding, and it is purely based on strength, without involving missions."

"Kage level should be easy to understand, but Super Kage is power that surpasses the current five Kage. Among you all, only Shisui has reached this level."

"Above Kage level is Quasi-Six Paths, which is based on the Sage of Six Paths, or more specifically, the First Hokage. Above Quasi-Six Paths level is Six Paths level, which is the level of the Sage of Six Paths, the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, and Kaguya Otsutsuki."

"It might sound a bit abstract now, but you'll experience these different levels of combat power firsthand later."

Upon hearing this, everyone became eager.

The vast majority of people present did not participate in the battles against Six Paths Nagato, Six Paths Madara, and Otsutsuki Kaguya.

"Next, you will enter an illusion. You don't need to resist, of course, it's useless to resist anyway."

A beautiful scene unfolds beneath the stars.

Having never experienced this before, Huang Tu couldn't help but ask, "Lord Xiuyi, is it a genjutsu similar to Infinite Tsukuyomi?"

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "You could say that, but of course, it's not that amazing yet."

"However, cultivating inside has the same effect as cultivating using shadow clones, unless you have already exceeded my understanding."

Those who had never experienced such a thing, such as Huang Tu, were surprised and puzzled upon hearing this.

But then they discovered that their environment had changed; they were no longer inside the stone chamber.

Instead, it was on a grassy field, surrounded by towering trees.

Huang Tu looked around and said, "I can't see any flaws at all, whether it's visual, sensory, or olfactory."

Yugito exclaimed, "As expected of Shuichi, he didn't even notice that the illusion had been activated."

Those who experience it for the first time are invariably moved, and then compare it with Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Then I discovered that, apart from being aware that I was in an illusion, the sense of reality was almost identical to that of Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the ground shook, and at the boundary between the grassland and the forest, high walls rose up, forming a series of steps.

In the blink of an eye, a huge arena was formed.

Hoshino Hideichi's gaze swept over the crowd, and he said, "Let's first see the strength of a Kage-level opponent..."

His gaze paused, landing on Maki of Sunagakure.

When Maki felt Hoshino's gaze upon him, his body tensed, his heart raced, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead: "Just a simple gaze brings such terrifying pressure... is this... the Six Paths level?"

"The idea of ​​wanting to avenge my father is both crazy and ridiculous."

Maki's thoughts did not escape Hoshino Shuichi's perception, but he did not care.

You killed someone's father, and you don't even allow that person to harbor hatred and seek revenge?

But to Shuichi Hoshino, Maki was like an ant.

If you kill one ant, do you need to worry about another ant retaliating?

As for training Maki, within the broader context of the ninja world's fusion, Hoshino Hideaki wouldn't mind as well.

He was Machi's father's killer, not the other way around.

Seeing the nervous Maki, Hoshino said, "Since you are proficient in esoteric arts, then try it out on a Kage-level powerhouse who is also proficient in esoteric arts."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure materialized beside him.

Danzo!

Even Kakashi and Shinnosuke Sarutobi were somewhat surprised to see this person.

They originally thought that Hoshino Shuichi would use the Third Kazekage.

Although the Third Kazekage was famous in the ninja world for his Magnet Release, his mastery of Wind Release was definitely among the best in the ninja world.

However, Uchiha Shisui was able to understand Hoshino Shuichi's thoughts.

Maki is proficient in Wind Release, and he is probably following the path of specializing in Wind Release.

Danzo, who also specializes in Wind Release, is the best reference point.

To become a Super Kage, one must first become a Kage-level being, and Danzo is indeed very suitable.

"The rest of you go up on the high wall."

With that, Hoshino Shizuka vanished from his spot.

Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Shisui, Kakashi, and the others also used the Body Flicker Technique to arrive at the high wall, leaving only Danzo and Maki on the grass.

Maki stared at Danzo opposite him, thinking to himself, "I didn't expect it to be not the Third Kazekage, but even the Fourth Kazekage."

"However, since you are proficient in Wind Release, you must either be skilled in close combat with swordsmanship or in mid-to-long-range Wind Release ninjutsu."

"But if you don't have a knife on you, then it's mid-to-long range."

Just then, Danzo shouted in a low voice, "Begin!"

Before he could finish speaking, he had already rushed out and headed straight for Maki.

Maki's gaze sharpened: "Close combat?"

"No... the hand seals are formed so quickly!"

After a few seals, Danzo opened his mouth and inhaled, and then one after another, air bullets shot out, enveloping Maki.

Maki immediately dodged, but without the Sharingan's insightful abilities, he was still inevitably grazed by the Vacuum Ball, drawing blood from Tobirama.

The moment he landed, Danzo's attack followed immediately.

Wind Release: Vacuum Chaos!

"The timing was impeccable..."

Maki tumbled around awkwardly, but still couldn't completely dodge, and ended up with a wound on his shoulder.

However, after turning the tables, he finally unleashed his first ninjutsu.

Wind Release - Great Breakthrough!

boom!

A fierce wind surged, sweeping towards Danzo and blowing him away.

However, Danzo, who was in the air, opened his mouth and blew, causing a surge of air to erupt, which allowed him to control his body. Maki took the opportunity to throw the kunai, which missed its target.

"We need to find an opportunity through close combat..."

Maki charged forward, his eyes fixed on Danzo's figure, trying to predict where he would land.

But Danzo's breath suddenly changed, blowing towards the ground and stirring up billowing dust that obscured Maki's vision, as well as Kakashi's and the others'.

Suddenly, the smoke and dust were torn apart, revealing a shuriken spinning at high speed, imbued with wind-style chakra, resembling a giant windmill.

Immediately afterwards, Kakashi and the others saw Danzo blow on the shuriken in his hand, causing it to spin rapidly and then whistle away.

After dodging two bullets, Maki was hit by the third, his body easily sliced ​​in two, blood splattering everywhere.

"We've lost. We're completely suppressed..."

Huang Tu sighed to himself, "From the very beginning, we were given the upper hand because we lacked accurate intelligence. Even when we tried to find an opportunity to counterattack, our plans were foiled and thwarted."

"But this should be a clone, right?"

Maki's two halves of his body fell to the ground and then exploded into two clouds of smoke.

Kakashi and the others watching from the high wall showed no surprise.

Hoshino Shizuka observed quietly.

On the battlefield below, Mamoto suddenly appeared behind Danzo, his right fingertips pinching a sharp wind blade. With a snap of his fingers, the wind blade, as fast as a knife, sliced ​​Danzo's body open, and a scream echoed across the field.

But Maki remained extremely vigilant and quickly turned around.

Behind him, Danzo, covered in blood, turned into smoke with a bang.

On the front, Danzo charged forward, his kunai imbued with wind release techniques, forming a sharp sword.

The kunai in his hand split in two, and Maki's eyes widened as blood gushed from his mouth.

Danzo's sword cut through his kunai and pierced his chest.

Feeling his power rapidly draining away, Maki gritted his teeth, his right hand poised to unleash a Wind Release technique.

However, Danzo struck first and with a soft "poof," his Wind Release sword sliced ​​Maki's body in two.

The wind emanation that Maki had gathered in his right hand immediately dissipated, and he collapsed to the ground.

A temporary counterattack?

It doesn't exist at all!

Danzo and Maki's bodies disappeared, and then a completely new Maki reappeared.

Maki couldn't help but reach out and touch his chest.

He really felt like he was dying just now; it felt so real.

"Maki, how are you feeling?"

Hoshita Shuichi appeared with Shisui and the others.

Maki came to his senses and pondered, "Although it seemed like I was only one step away from taking him down with me, the entire battle, from the moment we started, I fell into his rhythm, and the outcome was predetermined from the beginning."

He attempted to change the situation during the battle, but Danzo easily thwarted his plan.

In terms of combat experience and spellcasting speed, they are completely incomparable.

Despite the seemingly evenly matched battle, Maki knew very well that he was completely at a disadvantage.

Hoshino Shuichi nodded slightly: "You really have no chance of winning."

"However, the reason I let you fight Danzo is to tell you that if you reach his level, then relying solely on Wind Release, you can already be considered at the level of a Kage."

"Next up is the combat power of Super Shadow."

Hoshino Hideichi's gaze shifted, and everyone looked over as well, only to see several figures standing dozens of meters away.

Yugito's pupils contracted: "The Six Paths of Pain from the Akatsuki!"

Huang Tu and the others were also shocked: "The Rinnegan!"

Hoshita Shuichi explained with a smile, "These are just Nagato's Six Paths puppets, controlled by the Rinnegan."

"Next up are Hirotsuchi, Yugito, Darui, and Kisame Hoshigaki. These are your opponents." (End of Chapter)
