Konoha's lexicon of ninjas

boom!

With a wave of his banana leaf fan, Jin Jiao unleashed a fierce storm.

Huangtu and Dahe had made preparations long ago, and stone walls rose from the ground to withstand the strong winds.

But the next moment, the stone wall exploded, and Golden Horn and Silver Horn charged in at an extremely fast speed.

Two-Tailed Foxes unleashed a barrage of rat-tail jade projectiles with a deafening roar, but Gold Horn and Silver Horn easily dodged them.

They were incredibly fast, and even Ringo Ameyuri's lightning jutsu missed completely.

"Storm Kick!"

A loud shout suddenly rang out.

Kai suddenly appeared, severing Jin Jiao's right hand holding the banana leaf fan with a sharp kick, while also slicing open Jin Jiao's chest and interrupting his high speed.

However, the Golden Horned Beast was ferocious, and amidst its painful roars, its tails stabbed at Kai from all directions.

But just then, logs emerged from the ground and locked his tail.

Rumble!

Ringo Yuuri's bolts of lightning descended from the sky.

Immediately afterwards, Kai, who had just landed, formed a peculiar hand seal, and the air gathered and compressed to form a white tiger.

Daytime Tiger!

With a furious roar, Kai pushed his hands forward, and the White Tiger roared and pounced, landing solidly on the still-numb Golden Horn.

Boom boom boom!

Golden Horn flew backward, and rings of air waves appeared in the air.

After flying hundreds of meters backward, Kinkaku's body finally landed. The Nine-Tails' chakra on his body was scattered, and he returned to his normal human form from the tailed beast state.

"This guy..."

Jinjiao looked up at Kai, who was panting heavily in the distance, in disbelief.

He was in such a state that he was brought back to his original form with a single move.

However, he didn't see it because it was too far away. Kai had already activated the Seal of Life, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to stand up.

"Kai, well done!"

Yamato praised them greatly, and several figures flashed to the front of Kinkaku. After forming a hand seal, wooden stakes immediately rose up around Kinkaku, and Kinkaku's body was also locked by wooden vines.

Kuo-an entered the city with hands clasped!

The character "座" (seat) appeared in Yamato's palm, and then he pressed it against Kinkaku's chest, grabbing a stream of tailed beast chakra and pulling it out.

At the same time, more and more wooden vines wrapped around Golden Horn, suppressing the recovery of the Nine-Tailed Fox's power within him.

The seal is complete.

Yamato let out a sigh of relief and turned to look at the other side, where he saw that Huangtu and the Two-Tails had been blasted away by Ginkaku, but were immediately pierced through the heart by Kakashi, whose body was wrapped in dense, armor-like lightning.

"roar!"

Silverhorn let out a painful roar, his three tails coiling around Kakashi in front of him, while the other three tails pierced Kakashi's body like sharp swords.

Click!

Kakashi's Takemikazuchi Armor cracked and then exploded.

Because he didn't master Electromagnetic Release, Kakashi's mastery of Takemikazuchi's Raikage was achieved through time and the use of countless electric fields to control lightning, maintaining a Raikage-level Lightning Release chakra mode that surpassed that of the Raikage.

However, Silverhorn's terrifying attack also broke through this defense.

But before the tail could pierce Kakashi's body, Kakashi escaped using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The next moment, two huge rocks crashed down and clamped Silver Horn between their left and right sides.

Having already had its heart pierced, Huang Tu's attack turned Silver Horn into a sandwich cookie.

Immediately following was the Two-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball, which blasted Ginkaku away.

The outcome is no longer in doubt.

Hoshino Shuichi felt he had arranged for too many people.

It would be more interesting to watch a fight if it were just one small team.

They overestimated the strength of the Golden Horn and Silver Horn.

Of course, the Golden Horn and Silver Horn are quite strong, definitely surpassing the Shadow level.

Without information about the Six Paths Artifacts, Kakashi and the others would probably have suffered a setback first.

With Ginkaku also sealed away by Yamato, Tobirama Senju, Kinkaku, Ginkaku, and the corpses on the ground all disappeared.

Tobirama Senju is real, as are Kinkaku and Ginkaku. The Kinkaku and Ginkaku elite troops are just extras arranged by Shuichi Hoshino himself.

And then a great battle ensued.

Apart from Ringo Amery and Yamato, everyone else seems to have made great progress.

Kakashi mastered Takemikaze Armor, Gokudo mastered Flame Release Kekkei Genkai, Yotsuchi mastered his own Petrification Technique, and combined Hoshinobi Shuichi's Hive Shield to form a Rock Giant, transforming it into Earth Release Chakra Mode.

Kai, on the other hand, learned Hoshinoichi's Tempest Kick and fully developed Daytime Tiger.

Just as Hoshino Shuichi was completing his final lesson in the illusionary realm, Nagato and Obito Uchiha, the duo from the Land of Bears, finally managed to find out about the monk Jigen.

"Although we finally found a clue, according to that person, it was more than ten years ago."

On the rooftop, after exchanging information, Obito Uchiha frowned and said, "This guy is really good at hiding things. He's probably like Black Zetsu, plotting something in the shadows to recover and then seize the Tailed Beasts, right?"

Nagato nodded: "I'm afraid that's how it is."

"So we need to find this guy as soon as possible."

"Although it appeared more than ten years ago, there are still some traces left."

"Like Kaguya Otsutsuki, to be resurrected, one needs a body capable of bearing their power. This guy must be secretly looking for a suitable candidate."

"And there probably aren't many people like that."

"Furthermore, he might recruit people to help him, just like I did when I created the Akatsuki organization."

Obito Uchiha nodded: "The most suitable person should be someone with the bloodline of the Sage of Six Paths."

"This guy was severely injured by Kaguya Otsutsuki, so he didn't search in the heart of the ninja world, probably because he was afraid of being exposed."

"Perhaps there's another direction, another dimension..."

Nagato replied, "That depends on luck. Your kaleidoscope will only be able to sense him when he enters or exits the alternate dimension, right?"

Obito Uchiha nodded: "Now we have no choice but to use a two-pronged approach; we can't let any opportunity slip by."

Nagato nodded, and then the two of them disappeared from the rooftop together to continue the pursuit.

……

Konoha Village, the Uchiha clan.

When Itachi Uchiha returned home from school, he approached his father, who was feeding the fish, and bowed respectfully, saying, "Father, I have awakened my Sharingan!"

Fugaku Uchiha's hand froze, then he turned to look at his son, a look of surprise appearing on his usually serious face: "So you really did it?"

Uchiha Itachi nodded, then his eyes changed.

Single tomoe!

Fugaku Uchiha nodded in satisfaction and said, "Attend the clan meeting tonight, and then teach all the clan members how to awaken your Sharingan!"

Uchiha Itachi remained calm and nodded in agreement: "Yes!"

Fugaku Uchiha then asked, "Does anyone else know about this?"

Itachi Uchiha said, "Our teacher already knows and said he would report it to the Fourth Hokage."

Fugaku Uchiha nodded slightly, not caring.

Even if no teacher reports it, he will report it on his own initiative.

"Itachi, you are the first person in the Uchiha clan to awaken the Sharingan on your own, which is of great significance to the Uchiha clan."

Fugaku Uchiha's expression turned solemn: "Therefore, you cannot let the clan down, nor can you let Shisui or Lord Shuichi down!"

Itachi Uchiha bowed slightly: "I understand, Father!"

Fugaku Uchiha nodded with satisfaction: "Go ahead, your brother Shisui has returned, and I believe he will be very happy to hear that you have awakened your Sharingan."

Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha looked up and asked, "Has Shisui-nii finished his special training?"

Fugaku Uchiha nodded: "Yes."

Uchiha Itachi quickly bowed and then turned and left.

……

Uchiha Shisui, who was feeding crows, suddenly turned around and smiled at Uchiha Itachi who was approaching: "Itachi, congratulations on awakening your Sharingan!"

Itachi Uchiha was taken aback: "Shisui-nii, how did you know?"

Uchiha Shisui smiled and said, "I heard it from the Fourth Hokage when I reported to him after the special training."

"Well done!"

Uchiha Shisui gave a thumbs up.

Itachi Uchiha smiled and said, "Thanks to Brother Shisui and Lord Shuichi's guidance."

Uchiha Shisui asked with a smile, "What are your plans for the future?"

Uchiha Itachi stepped forward and said, "I want to graduate early, but I haven't mentioned it to Father yet."

Uchiha Shisui nodded: "There shouldn't be any problem."

"You've already awakened your Sharingan. Graduating early means you can directly enter the Root's special training program for further training. There you'll find the most outstanding ninjas in Konoha, and even the entire ninja world."

Itachi Uchiha looked up at Shisui Uchiha, asking expectantly, "Will it be Hideaki-sama personally training you?"

Uchiha Shisui chuckled and said, "That's probably difficult."

"You don't need Shuichi right now. Shuichi will only take action personally when you awaken the Kaleidoscope."

Itachi Uchiha was a little disappointed, but the result was within expectations.

After all, Hoshino Shuichi is already the strongest in the ninja world, so it would be a waste to teach him.

So, Itachi Uchiha immediately laughed and said, "So, it must be Brother Shisui?"

Uchiha Shisui nodded: "It should be, after all, I'm the only Uchiha left in Root."

"Of course, it won't be me during the practical training session. Who it will be depends on Shinnosuke-senpai's arrangements."

Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha immediately asked, "Is he the son of the Third Hokage?"

Uchiha Shisui nodded: "Yes, Shinnosuke-senpai received the true teachings of the Third Hokage, and he gained a lot from this special training. His current strength should have surpassed that of the Third Hokage."

Uchiha Itachi was shocked: "Amazing!"

"So, what did you gain this time, Brother Shisui?"

Uchiha Shisui didn't speak, but raised his hand and flames surged from his left hand, forming a fire shield.

Itachi Uchiha was startled: "This form control... could it be... Fire Release?"

Uchiha Shisui nodded: "Yes, it's the Flame Release Kekkei Genkai. I learned it from Shuichi."

Uchiha Itachi exclaimed, "In that case, Shisui-nii, you've mastered two bloodline limits! Amazing!"

Uchiha Shisui dispelled the fire shield and laughed, "You won't be so surprised after you witness Shuichi's strength."

Hoshino Shuichi is currently unsure how many bloodline limits he has mastered.

……

root.

Inside the office, Hoshishita Shuichi looked at Kisame Hoshigaki, Ringo Ameyuri, Yugito, Maki, Yotsuchi, and Darui and said, "You've already learned about the concept of Sage Mode."

"The most basic requirement for cultivating Sage Mode is a massive amount of chakra; otherwise, it is easy to be eroded by natural energy and then lose control."

"Currently, only Kisame, Hijikata, and Darui have sufficient chakra."

"Of course, this is just the most basic threshold."

"There is another way to quickly master Sage Mode, which is through the Curse Seal. I will cast the Curse Seal so that you can perfectly utilize Sage Mode."

"However, using the cursed seal has a drawback, because the cursed seal contains my power, which means that I can appear behind you and take you down at any time."

Upon hearing this, Ringo Ameyuri immediately revealed her sharp teeth and laughed, "Even without the cursed seal, Lord Shuichi, you could easily take us down, wouldn't you?"

Hoshino Hideichi smiled and said, "I'm just telling you about the risks you should be aware of."

"Besides this, I can also monitor your every move."

Kisame Hoshigaki said, "Lord Shuichi, may we witness the power of a Sage?"

Upon hearing this, Hoshino Hideichi turned to Azuki beside him and said, "Azuki, show us!"

Red Bean nodded immediately: "Yes, sir!"

She walked around the desk to the side, then clasped her hands together, unleashing a burst of chakra that created a whirlwind.

Kisame and the others stared intently, and then they saw Anko covered in red flames.

"Fire Release Chakra Mode?"

Kisame Hoshigaki immediately recalled the move that Shuichi Hoshino had previously demonstrated.

However, despite undergoing five years of training in the illusion, Anko still hasn't fully mastered the Fire Release Chakra Mode; it's a bit of a stretch.

However, as the power of the curse seal was activated, the lotus pattern spread out, and the originally loose flames immediately solidified, changing color from red to cyan.

Fire Release Chakra Mode, complete!

Releasing her hands, Hongdou's figure floated up.

At her feet, fiery lotuses bloomed in layers.

Seeing this, Ringo Ameyuri couldn't help but say, "Lord Shuichi, if I possess the cursed seal, I should be able to complete that technique, right?"

Hoshino nodded: "Sage Mode can improve the precision of chakra control and the stability of ninjutsu."

Ringo Ameyuri immediately made her choice: "Then I have no further questions. Please grant me the curse seal, my lord."

Kisame Hoshigaki immediately replied, "I have no problem either."

Anyway, even the Mizukage is a disciple of Shuichi, so he probably won't object.

Yukito immediately replied, "I have no problem either."

Hoshino Hideichi said, "You can try the orthodox cultivation sage mode, of course, with the Two-Tails."

"If successful, your teamwork will likely be even closer than in the previous Jinchūriki mode."

Upon hearing this, Yukito exclaimed with delight, "Really? That's wonderful!"

Maki said, "Lord Shuichi, I have no problem with that either."

The Fourth Kazekage had already reminded him of this.

Darui then said, "Lord Shuuichi, I want to try training on my own first. If I can't do it, then I'll use the curse seal."

Huang Tu said, "Me too, Lord Xiuyi."

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "Huangtu, Darui, Yumuren, you can go back first and come back tomorrow."

Huang Tu and the other two immediately bowed and left.

Hoshita Shuichi then created clones to place cursed seals on Ringo Ameyuri, Kisame Hoshigaki, and Maki.

Of course, the seals given to them were all single-function.

For example, Ringo Ameyuri's weapon is Takemikazuchi's Seal, which can only amplify lightning-style attacks.

Kisame Hoshigaki and Maki's abilities can only amplify Water Release and Wind Release techniques. (End of Chapter)
