Konoha's lexicon of ninjas

Returning to Konoha from Mount Myōboku, Hoshinoichi strolled through the streets, his mind wandering to another sacred place.

Longdi Cave!

Compared to Mount Myoboku and Shikkotsu Forest, this sacred site is not so friendly.

This may be related to the characteristics of snakes.

"Who knows, we might end up fighting again at Ryuchi-dong."

Hoshino Shizuka smiled to himself; he was actually quite curious about the strength of the immortals from the three holy lands.

However, Gamamaru was persuaded. It wouldn't be right for a young man to bully an old toad, would it?

As for the slug sage of Shikkotsu Forest, he agreed without any persuasion.

However, the Slug Sage himself is not very good at training people to cultivate Sage Mode, and Shikkotsu Forest does not have anything like the toad oil from Mount Myōboku to assist in cultivating Sage Mode.

However, the Slug Sage has opened up the Summoning Contract, allowing more medical ninjas to summon her clones for treatment.

After some thought, Hoshino Hideichi decided to first establish his own holy land before going to Ryuchi Cave.

"Then, where should I establish my holy site?"

Hoshino Shizuka pondered to himself.

The back mountain of Konoha?

Wouldn't that be too tasteless?

Moon?

Will we become neighbors with the Ninja League in the future?

It seems to have lost some of its sophistication.

"Which is better, Kaguya's alternate dimension, or Isshiki's?"

Hoshino Hideichi thought of these two places.

He even used his own alternate dimension.

He has already mastered Kaguya's bloodline limit, Ten no Minaka.

"Let's use the Ōtsutsuki Isshiki!"

Shuichi Hoshita made a decision.

Whether it's his own or Kaguya's, neither is suitable because they're meant for combat and might even require leaving the ninja world.

On the contrary, the alternate dimension of Otsutsuki Isshiki has been frozen in the ninja world, and Otsutsuki Isshiki is completely dead.

"Let's go check out Isshiki Otsutsuki's alternate dimension first!"

Just as Hoshino Shuichi was about to get home, he opened a space-time portal and stepped out into Isshiki Otsutsuki's alternate dimension.

This place was used by Isshiki Otsutsuki to hide the Ten-Tails. The space is not particularly large, but it is much larger than the existing area of ​​Konoha.

Standing before the ruins left by the previous battle, Hoshino Shuichi sighed helplessly: "If only I hadn't been so violent back then."

However, after thinking about it, he decided not to clear away the ruins.

These ruins can also serve as a witness to the past, recording a battle that once took place here, and a history that existed before this holy site.

Wood Release: The Birth of the Tree World!

With a thought, the grass and trees sprouted wildly from the ground and spread out in all directions.

Soon, the ruins were covered by vegetation, waiting to be discovered one day.

A forest quickly formed, and in the center of the forest stood a giant tree with its branches intertwined to form natural wooden houses. Inside the houses were chairs, tea tables, and couches made of rattan.

It's a completely natural style.

Hideaki Hoshino walked up to admire his masterpiece.

Immortal arts require natural energy, and the environment in which humans live in harmony with nature is the most suitable for cultivating immortal arts.

After passing through a series of spiraling wooden houses, Hoshino Shuichi finally arrived at the treetop.

Here, a huge golden lotus flower was in full bloom. He sat cross-legged on the lotus platform. The wind blew his hair and made it dance, but Hoshino Shuichi felt a sense of peace in his heart.

The Earth's magnetic field, various electromagnetic waves, and natural energy were all present in his mind.

With a thought, invisible magnetic fields and electromagnetic waves surged into his body and were absorbed by his individual cells.

This is his cultivation method after obtaining the electromagnetic body. He abandons feeding on natural energy and instead frantically absorbs electromagnetic fields and electromagnetic waves to accumulate power.

Especially the latter.

However, less than ten years is clearly not enough time for him to condense another Divine Tree Fruit comparable to the one Uchiha Shisui ate last time.

At most, they could only use the alchemy methods of the Otsutsuki clan to create some chakra pills.

However, such elixirs have limited effects.

If a suitable Ten-Tails can be cultivated to transform into a divine tree, the process will be much faster.

If we sacrifice another Otsutsuki, it will be even faster.

One large tsutsuki can last for hundreds of years.

If it's someone like Kaguya Otsutsuki, who once ate the Millennium Fruit, that would be even more exciting.

……

As night fell, Xingxia Xiuyi finished his training and reluctantly went home.

Before even entering the door, I could smell the aroma of food, but unlike usual, I didn't hear the children playing.

You know, the only thing we haven't done at home yet is having a baby.

Upon entering the hall, the two long dining tables were already full of people.

One table of children, one table of adults.

As soon as Xingxia Xiu returned, all the children turned to look at her.

The largest tree is the one under the star, which is now eight years old.

Next are Hoshino Hiyori and Hoshino Yunko, but they are only about two months younger than Rope Tree.

Next is Minami's daughter, Hoshino Minami, who is one year younger than Rope Tree.

Asuka's daughter, Karin Hoshita, is slightly younger than Minami, but they are the same age.

Finally, there's Mei Terumi's son, Shunichi Hoshita, born in Konoha in 1953. He's two years younger than Nawaki and is already six years old. He entered the Ninja Academy this year.

The children sat up straight, but the most mischievous ones, Nawaki and Karin, made faces when they saw Hoshita Shuichi, while the clever Hoshita Yunko secretly winked.

There's also Xiao Nan's daughter, Nan Yue, who is very well-behaved and quiet, looking at her father with big, worried eyes.

Feiye and Shunichi appeared somewhat mature, their expressions as calm as ever.

However, they also knew that something was off about the atmosphere at home today.

Because there's an extra auntie, and she doesn't seem to be very popular with the mothers.

the other side.

Led by Tsunade, they all sat on one side, each with a blank expression.

When Shizune saw Hoshino Shuichi return, she instinctively got up to greet him, but Mei Terumi pulled her back.

This establishes a united front!

On the other side of the table stood Kaguya Otsutsuki, equally expressionless, seemingly detached from the world, as if everything was irrelevant to her.

Hoshino Shuichi was speechless.

Miss, you really have no idea how big of a mess you've made!

Looking at Tsunade and the others, Hoshishita Shuichi walked over to his children, picked up the youngest, Hoshishita Shunichi, and asked with a smile, "Shunichi, did you learn anything new at school today?"

Shunichi Hoshita hugged his father's neck and said obediently, "Mom has told me everything the teacher said, but the teacher explained it in more detail, so I think I understand it better now!"

Hoshino Hideichi laughed loudly upon hearing this: "The teacher is a professional, but your mother is not, although your mother is much more capable."

Shunichi Hoshita turned to look at Mei Terumi, then whispered in Shuichi Hoshita's ear, "Dad, Mom and the others seem really angry. Who's that auntie?"

Hoshino Shuichi also whispered, "That aunt is a friend of Dad's. Mom and the others aren't angry, they're jealous."

Shunichi understood in a second: "Does that mean Shunichi will have another mother?"

Hoshita Shuichi paused for a moment: "Well..."

Xingxia, with a hint of anticipation, asked, "Then can I be a big brother too?"

He was the youngest in the family, so he wanted to experience what it was like to be an older brother.

At this moment, Hoshino Yunko called out in a spoiled tone, "Daddy, Yunko's tummy is really hungry!"

Upon hearing this, Hoshita Shuichi put down Hoshita Shunichi and said with a smile, "Then let's get started!"

Tsunade was furious when she saw that Hoshino Shizuka was ignoring her and the others. Her brows furrowed.

However, with a child in the family, she had no choice but to endure it.

Otherwise, given her temper, she would have given Hoshino Hideichi a good beating long ago.

In fact, Tsunade wouldn't be this angry if it were anyone else.

After all, she herself was a latecomer.

Moreover, Hoshino Shuichi's lecherous nature is well-known. In addition to his wife, he also had affairs with his subordinate Mitarashi Anko and the widow Minazuki.

But everyone else can, except for Kaguya Otsutsuki.

This guy is extremely dangerous.

Not only were they resurrected, but they also have to have children.

What if I give birth to two unfilial sons like the Sage of Six Paths?

If Hoshino Shuichi knew what Tsunade was thinking, he would definitely correct her righteously: That's not stealing, it's perfectly legitimate!

He couldn't let Hongdou down, since she liked him so much.

Minazuki is so pitiful, it's only reasonable for me to comfort him out of kindness, right?

While Tsunade was leading Shizune and the others in a cold war, Hoshino Shuichi was casually eating and interacting with the children.

Tsunade was even more furious and gritted her teeth in anger.

That bastard, how could he act like nothing happened?

Shizune and Asuka were both worried, feeling that this matter was quite serious.

Although Tsunade has a bad temper, she has never been this serious before.

The children ate their meal in half an hour.

After Hoshita Shunichi put down his rice bowl, Tsunade said, "Nawaki, take your younger siblings outside to play!"

Nawaki immediately nodded and clapped his hands: "Hurry up, let's go find Naruto and the others to play."

Hoshino Yunko quickly asked, "Can I ask for Sister Tenten?"

Rope Tree nodded: "If Sister Tiantian is home, we'll ask her to come out and play together."

Soon, the children were all ready. After giving Hoshino Shuichi a look that said "good luck," Nawaki led his younger siblings out in single file and ran outside to play.

Xingxia Xiu watched the children run away with bated breath, then took a deep breath.

The strongest ninja in the ninja world is afraid of his wife?

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Taking his seat at the head of the table, Hoshino Hideichi glanced at everyone and said, "Let's begin!"

Bang!

Tsunade punched a hole in the dining table.

Hoshino Hideichi's lips twitched.

Poor dining table, you've suffered.

"Tsunade, it's not what you think..."

Hoshino Hideichi offered a sophistry—no, an explanation.

Tsunade immediately scoffed, "The thoughts deep in one's heart are the truest, you said it yourself."

Xingxia Xiu's eye twitched, and she immediately said in a serious tone, "People have all sorts of ideas, and thinking about something doesn't necessarily mean you have to do it!"

Tsunade scoffed, "If you didn't want to do it, would you?"

"And why did you arrange for her to stay at home?"

While Hoshino Shuichi was still trying to figure out how to explain, Otsutsuki Kaguya said, "Because this is the only place that suits me best."

"Anywhere else would make the higher-ups of your Ninja League feel uneasy."

Tsunade frowned slightly upon hearing this.

That makes some sense.

Hoshino Shuichi secretly breathed a sigh of relief; he had indeed considered this.

He believed in Kaguya Otsutsuki, but others might not.

Kaguya Otsutsuki's power can make people feel uneasy.

However, Tsunade wasn't so easily persuaded and immediately shifted her attack: "So, what about having children?"

Hoshita Shuichi said helplessly, "This hasn't happened yet; Kaguya was just saying it."

Kaguya Otsutsuki immediately said, "Our child will be even more outstanding than Hagoromo and the others, and will be able to protect the ninja world."

Tsunade scoffed, "Nawaki and the others can too."

Kaguya Otsutsuki asked, "Are you willing to leave them?"

"Once you enter the starry sky, it will take a very long time to reach the next stop."

"If it weren't for the fruit of the Divine Tree, perhaps when you return here, your child will have already left us."

Yekura asked, "Lord Shuichi, do we really have to leave the ninja world?"

"Can Feiye and the others come with us?"

Hoshino Hideichi sighed inwardly, then laughed and said, "Going to the stars isn't that quick."

"By the time we're ready, Nawaki and the others might already be adults with their own families and lives."

"They may not even want to leave the ninja world with us."

Asuka couldn't help but say, "Shuichi, can't you just not go?"

Hoshita Shuichi said helplessly, "Of course, that's fine too."

"However, if one had a lifespan of thousands of years, one would always want to travel to the stars and the sea."

"It's not just about fighting against the Otsutsuki clan."

"Of course, the Ōtsutsuki clan is a very huge threat."

As he spoke, he reiterated the Dark Forest Theory that he had told Gamamaru.

After listening, Tsunade's anger vanished instantly, and she fell into deep thought.

Kaguya Otsutsuki said, "This analogy is indeed very apt."

"The Otsutsuki clan will not let me go, which is why I used living people to sacrifice to the sacred tree in the first place."

"The Otsutsuki clan will not let go of this land full of natural energy in the ninja world, and they will not give up collecting chakra."

"War is inevitable; it's only a matter of time."

"If you don't solve this, then you'll have to leave it to future generations to solve."

"It's a pity that Hagoromo and Hamura didn't understand me back then..."

As she spoke, Kaguya Otsutsuki showed a hint of sadness.

She is not a heartless person.

Unfortunately, her son was instigated by outsiders and betrayed her.

At this moment, Tsunade said, "But these things have nothing to do with having children, do they?"

"Aren't you afraid your son will betray you again?"

Tsunade plunged a knife deep into Kaguya Otsutsuki's heart.

But Kaguya Otsutsuki didn't seem to care, saying calmly, "This is just my way of thanking him."

Hideaki Hoshino was dumbfounded.

Miss, this isn't gratitude, it's revenge, isn't it?

The matter was almost resolved, but now it's come full circle.

Sure enough, what a terrible teammate.

Faced with Tsunade's murderous gaze, Hoshino Shuichi could only resort to his trump card: "I promise, I will never have a child with Kaguya."

Tsunade scoffed, "Let's eat!"

She also knew that too much of a good thing can be bad.

however.

In the middle of the night, after Hoshino Shizuka silently fed herself until she fell into a deep sleep, Kaguya Otsutsuki drifted into the room.

The robe fell away, revealing a flawless, luminous white body, which made Xingxia Xiu stare straight ahead and remain motionless.

Kaguya Otsutsuki floated up.

In order to keep his promise, Hoshino Shuichi decided to neither take the initiative, nor refuse, nor take responsibility.

Soon, in a daze, Shizune felt someone else on top of her and murmured, "Shuichi, let's go find Asuka-neechan." (End of Chapter)
