Konoha's lexicon of ninjas

"That's what makes it challenging and exciting!"

Ringo Ameyuri grinned, revealing her sharp teeth, and said, "If it weren't difficult, then Shadow and Super Shadow wouldn't be so rare."

"Since we're standing here, we must have earned the approval of the Shadows and Lord Shuichi."

"If we can't achieve our goal, it's probably because we haven't been serious or hardworking enough!"

Darui sensed something was wrong: "Sorry, although it sounds very reasonable, I have a feeling that things are going to get very troublesome."

Kisame Hoshigaki laughed, "Trouble is what makes things interesting!"

At this moment, Xingxia Xiu said, "That's all for today. Go back and think carefully about the path you want to take next."

"Think about what kind of technique you want to develop. The process of developing a technique is also a process of training: mastering nature transformation, mastering form transformation, and... chakra control!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the illusion shattered like a dream bubble, and the scene before everyone's eyes changed, returning them to the stone chamber.

"Meet at the same time tomorrow. Dismissed!"

After saying that, Hoshino Shizuka disappeared.

After a moment of silence, Kakashi and the others also disappeared from the stone chamber.

Kisame Hoshigaki and Maki appeared at a training ground near the Root base.

Looking at Maki, Kisame smiled and said, "I might have to trouble you with this next."

"Of course, in return, I will not hide any problems with water techniques."

"I think using Ice Release in the desert would be a good idea."

Maki said, "I haven't decided which bloodline limit I want to cultivate yet, and actually I hope to become someone like the Third and Fourth Kazekage."

Kisame said, "I see. Magnet Release?"

"Besides Wind Release, do we also need Earth Release? It seems I'm not a very good companion."

"It's too early to say that," Machi said.

"My current task should be to develop my own Wind Release chakra mode."

"I think you probably have similar thoughts."

Kisame laughed and said, "I'm different in this respect. I had an idea before, and now I want to make it a reality. I think it will be a ninjutsu that will satisfy Lord Hideaki."

"It might be easier to develop the Water Release chakra mode once this technique is developed."

Maki nodded: "In that case... how about we have a match? Maybe that will give you some ideas."

Kisame bared his sharp teeth: "That's exactly what I was thinking!"

Maki immediately formed a hand seal: "Then let's begin!"

Kisame immediately formed hand seals: "Watch out!"

……

Inside the Root office, in front of Hoshino Hideichi was a water mirror, reflecting the scene of Kisame Hoshigaki and Maki fighting.

Watching the two meticulously form hand seals, Hoshino Shuichi couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle: "What honest men."

Standing behind Shuichi Hoshino, Anko asked curiously, "Shuichi-sama, why do you say that?"

Xingxia Xiu said, "There isn't that much time to form hand seals on the battlefield."

Red Bean asked doubtfully, "Isn't this how everyone uses ninjutsu?"

amount……

When Hoshino Hideichi realized this, most people, even those like Hiruzen Sarutobi, needed to obediently and silently form hand seals.

Madara Uchiha needed to form hand seals to unleash his Fire Release techniques, but he used fewer hand seals.

Then Hoshino Hideichi changed the subject: "Of course you need to form hand seals, but the fewer hand seals you use, the more advantageous you are."

"After mastering a technique, you might as well try shortening the hand seals and find a hand seal technique that suits you. This is also beneficial for training your chakra control."

Red Bean's eyes lit up: "Is this why Lord Shuichi doesn't need hand seals to perform ninjutsu?"

Hoshita Shuichi nodded shamelessly: "Not bad."

"Moreover, in the very beginning, there were no hand seals for performing ninjutsu. The hand seals that assist in performing ninjutsu were actually created by Indra, the son of the Sage of Six Paths."

Red Bean exclaimed in shock: "I can't believe it!"

Hoshino nodded and then waved his hand. The scene on the water mirror changed, showing Kakashi and Ringo Ameyuri fighting, with the lazy Darui watching from the sidelines.

After thinking for a moment, Xingxia Xiu said, "Hongdou, I have a task for you."

Hongdou immediately replied, "Yes!"

Hoshino Shuichi summoned two swords, which turned out to be Raitogi.

"Red Bean, take them to Ringo Ameyuri."

Anko took the knife and asked curiously and boldly, "Shuichi-sama, wouldn't Kakashi-senpai also be suitable for this?"

Hoshita Shuichi laughed and said, "That's true, but Kakashi doesn't need him."

Hongdou nodded and immediately went out to carry out her mission.

She soon arrived at the training ground where Ringo, Yuri, and the other two were.

Despite his lazy demeanor, Darui is quite perceptive. Upon recognizing the red bean, he nodded slightly without uttering a word.

At this moment, Kakashi and Ringo Ameyuri, who were fighting in the arena, suddenly stopped. Anko immediately swung the two swords in her hands, inserting them between the two of them. Then, she performed a beautiful 360-degree three-and-a-half-turn free spin in the air and landed steadily on the two swords.

Such a dashing entrance left Darui completely stunned.

Her coat fluttered in the wind as Aoko made a cool entrance, looking at Ringo Ameyuri and saying, "This is a temporary assignment for Master Shuuichi."

"Ringo Ameyuri, if you defeat me, you will wield these two swords."

Ringo Ameyuri glanced at Rai Toga, then smiled: "If that's the case, I won't hold back."

"Besides, as Hideaki's assistant, you must be quite capable too!"

Kakashi looked at Anko and thought to himself, "This doesn't seem like Shuichi's personality. This so-called mission is probably... just him acting on his own."

However, Kakashi did not stop him.

Anko raised an eyebrow at the wild Ringo Ameyuri, and retorted defiantly, "Then go ahead and make your move!"

Ringo Ameyuri looked at Anko and smiled, "I like brave people!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand to form a hand seal.

Red Bean on the Thunder Blade immediately made her move, reaching out with both hands, and two venomous snakes swooped out from her sleeves, heading straight for Ringo Ameyuri.

Hidden Shadow Snake Hand!

Seeing the venomous snake flying towards her, Ringo Ameyuri remained calm and did not dodge, quickly completing the hand seals as before.

Boom! Crack!

Just as the venomous snake was about to bite down, lightning struck down from the sky, killing the snake and then striking Hongdou in succession.

Thunder Escape-Thunder!

Seeing the bolts of lightning striking down, Anko immediately flipped herself up, hooking her feet on two lightning blades to dodge the lightning. At the same time, the lightning blades were also used as projectiles and flung out by her feet, shooting towards Ringo Ameyuri.

Kakashi couldn't help but secretly praise, "Well done."

On the other side, Darui couldn't help but think to himself, "It seems they were prepared beforehand and weren't completely reckless. Konoha truly has outstanding talents!"

Faced with two knives, Ringo Ameyuri dodged the first one, but with remarkable agility, she caught the second one.

Ding-dong!

Ringo Ameyuri swung her sword, easily deflecting the two kunai that Anko had shot at her, then chuckled, "As expected of one of the Seven Ninja Swords, now you could say it's returned to its rightful owner, right?"

"whispering sound!"

Red Bean pouted and snorted, "It's not over yet!"

Hidden Shadow Snake Hand!

With a flick of his left hand, four venomous snakes slithered out.

Ringo Ameyuri swung her sword and cut two poisonous snakes in half, but two more snakes wrapped around her.

However, she remained calm. Electricity surged from her body, causing the two venomous snakes that were about to bite her to writhe. The electricity then swept along the snakes towards Hongdou.

Hongdou frowned and formed a hand seal.

Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!

Red Bean opened its mouth and spat out flames that swept through the venomous snake.

boom!

Fire and lightning collided and exploded, tearing the venomous snake to pieces.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, Hongdou frowned and leaped forward, as lightning crackled across the ground.

After dodging the attack, Anko landed, only to see Ringo Ameyuri emerge from the dust, holding a sword in each hand: "Thank you!"

Hongdou stood up: "It's your own strength. It seems that Lord Xiuyi didn't misjudge you."

"I'm leaving. You guys continue!"

After saying that, Hongdou instantly disappeared.

She knew that if she continued fighting, she would lose.

……

Inside the Root office, Hoshino Shuichi watched the battle between Anko and Ringo Ameyuri.

It can only be said that the gap is enormous.

Red Bean was very serious, but Ringo Ameyuri was more playful.

Anko's current strength is equivalent to that of a Chunin.

Of course, this is without using any spell seals.

However, Anko does have talent, otherwise Orochimaru wouldn't have taken her on as a disciple.

When Hongdou returned to her office, Hoshino Hideichi asked with a smile before she could even speak, "Why didn't you use the power of the cursed seal just now?"

Hongdou paused for a moment, then said, "That wouldn't be fair, would it?"

"Besides, that guy is also very powerful. Even if I use the power of the cursed seal, I might not be able to defeat her. Wouldn't that make Hideaki even more of a disgrace to him?"

You're embarrassing me?

Hoshino Hideichi was speechless. What does this have to do with me?

Shaking his head slightly, Xingxia Xiu said, "First of all, if it's a serious battle, then there's no such thing as fair or unfair."

"When facing one's own enemy, one should naturally use any means necessary."

Hongdou nodded quickly, "Yes!"

Hoshino Hideichi immediately said, "However, as my assistant, if one's abilities are too weak, it is indeed not suitable."

Upon hearing this, Hongdou immediately became nervous.

But then Hoshino Shuichi changed his tone: "So, what kind of ninjutsu do you want to learn? I'll teach you."

"Or if you want to continue learning Orochimaru's ninjutsu, that's fine too; he's already returned to Konoha."

Upon hearing Hoshino Shuichi mention Orochimaru, Anko's expression was complicated, but she firmly said, "No need, Lord Shuichi."

She once idolized Orochimaru, but she was also abandoned.

Now, the man she admires and is most attracted to is right in front of her.

Orochimaru? To hell with him!

Hmph, when she has enough strength, she'll beat that guy up and throw him onto a deserted island so he can experience what it's like.

Seeing Anko's determined expression, Hoshino Shuichi nodded slightly and said, "In that case, tell me, what kind of ninjutsu do you want to learn?"

Anko said, "Aside from Orochimaru's ninjutsu, I only know Fire Release."

"Fire Release?"

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "Okay."

"I know quite a few fire-style ninjutsu."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hongdou found herself in a training field.

"This is... an illusion, that kind of cultivation method?"

Red Bean looked around in shock.

Having entered the Root, she had naturally heard of Hoshino Shuichi's unique training methods, but her first experience was still very shocking. It seemed to be just like the Infinite Tsukuyomi, too real.

Even though they knew it was an illusion, they couldn't find any flaws in it.

She couldn't help but form hand seals in an attempt to dispel the illusion, but it was to no avail.

Hoshino Shuichi couldn't help but chuckle: "No need to try anymore, ordinary methods of dispelling illusions don't work."

"This is not just a simple interference with chakra circulation, but a direct trapping of your soul and consciousness within an illusionary barrier."

Red Bean was shocked: "An illusionary barrier..."

Hoshita Shuichi didn't explain further, as Anko wouldn't understand anyway. He got to the point, saying, "Fire Release ninjutsu... well, if you don't use a sword, I won't teach you anything about swordsmanship."

"The first one is the technique of bisque firing."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hongdou realized that she had been set on fire. Startled, she quickly rolled on the spot and took off her coat, thus dealing with the attack.

Hoshino Hideichi smiled and nodded: "Not bad."

Red Bean got up from the ground. Although she already knew that Hoshino Shuichi could use ninjutsu without hand seals, she was still extremely shocked to see it in person.

so amazing!

Hoshino Shuichi also enjoyed Anko's admiring gaze and said, "This technique isn't very difficult. Actually, you can apply to learn it at Root as well."

"Remember the hand seals and practice on your own. If you don't understand anything, you can find my annotations on this technique in the Root's archives."

As he spoke, Hoshino Shizuka formed a hand seal.

Hongdou immediately looked at it carefully and memorized it.

After repeating this twice, Hoshino Shizuka stopped and said, "This is a technique that Konoha already had. What follows is a ninjutsu that I created myself."

"The first one is Fire Clone. That is, using Fire Release chakra to create shadow clones."

"The principle is very simple; the key lies in the control of Fire Release chakra."

"Pay attention to the printing order."

Hoshino Shizuka slowly formed hand seals.

Hongdou stared intently.

Bang!

After completing the hand seals, a clone appeared next to Hoshino Hideichi.

Immediately afterwards, the clone leaped into the air and exploded in mid-air, like a burst of fireworks.

Hongdou's pupils contracted: "It can be used as a self-destructing detonation tag, but it's even harder to defend against."

Xingxia Xiu asked, "Have you memorized the hand seal sequence?"

Hongdou immediately looked away and nodded: "I'll remember!"

The seal for this clone is very simple, with only three characters.

Hoshita Hideichi nodded: "Then let's give it a try!"

"First, slowly form the hand seals while refining Fire Release chakra within your body. If you can't do it directly, then refine the chakra first, and then perform the Fire Release nature transformation."

Red Bean was sweating because she really couldn't directly extract Fire Release chakra from her body.

Moreover, completing the nature transformation of chakra within the body is not so simple.

In the past, when she used ninjutsu, she would form hand seals to guide chakra and perform nature transformation to release fire jutsu.

Bang!

Once the hand seals were complete, a cloud of smoke exploded around Red Bean.

Red Bean blushed, because there was only a wisp of smoke, and not even a shadow of a clone.

Hoshino Shuu, expressionless, said, "Continue."

"First, complete the change in nature within your body, Red Bean. Your talent is sufficient to do this."

"If you don't know what to do, then recall the feeling of when you used Fire Release and control your chakra."

"You should know that chakra is your own power, formed by the combination of your physical and mental strength. You can completely control it and make it change according to your will, as long as that will is clear enough."

You must believe in yourself!

Hongdou clasped her hands together, lowered her eyes, and gritted her teeth, following the guidance of Xingxia Xiuyi.

you can!

Sure can!

Suddenly, Hongdou opened her eyes and showed a look of joy.

finished!

It turned out to be the case.

If that's the case, then using other fire-style techniques can also save some hand seals.

That's it!

At this moment, Hongdou felt as if she had seen a whole new world. (End of Chapter)
