Konoha's lexicon of ninjas

Boom boom boom!

The art of explosion begins!

When the Iwa ninja who had inhaled the explosive clay from the WeChat app retreated into the crowd, explosions began to occur one after another.

One by one, the Iwa ninjas became human bombs, sweeping away large areas with a single blow.

Seeing Onoki's less-than-pleasant expression, the Fourth Kazekage said, "Congratulations, Tsuchikage, you have a worthy successor."

Onoki's eye twitched.

Hoshino Hideichi smiled and said, "That is indeed a very good idea."

"This kind of technique cannot be countered by having Lightning Release. Without information and without the insight of the Sharingan, one could easily become a human bomb."

"However, Deidara seems to be a bit extreme."

"If Lord Tsuchikage cannot be properly guided, he will die sooner or later because of his own art."

Onoki listened intently.

Admiral Mifune asked, "Lord Shuichi, how many of these new generation members have the potential to become Super Kage, or even near-Six Paths masters like Lord Hashirama?"

Upon hearing this, Hoshino Hideichi couldn't help but laugh and said, "If you're relying solely on yourself, I'm afraid no one could do it."

"If we can offer some help, the chances will be much greater."

"Haku, who mastered Ice Release; Kimimaro, who mastered the Shikotsumyaku; Kurotsuchi, who mastered Lava Release; and Deidara is another one."

"It's relatively more difficult for others."

"However, if there are enough divine tree fruits, or even pills, it's not a big problem."

Minato Namikaze smiled wryly and said, "Shuichi, that's obviously impossible."

Xingxia Xiu spread his hands.

There is no systematic training method in the ninja world, or a way to transcend the ordinary.

Immortal arts might be considered a kind of magic, but very few people can cultivate them to the level of an immortal, let alone live for thousands of years like the three immortals of the three holy lands.

not much hope.

This is also why he promoted immortal arts.

With more people practicing cultivation, some geniuses will naturally emerge.

Perhaps a better cultivation system can be developed in the future.

As for Hoshino Shuichi himself...

Right now, it's clearly simpler and faster to obtain the fruit of the divine tree.

The Chunin Championship is still ongoing.

And those who were destined to stand out have gradually been revealed to Hoshino Shuichi and the others.

To be honest, there weren't any major surprises for Hoshino Shuichi.

No unexpected talents emerged.

However, Haku did not disappoint him, as his mastery of Ice Release became increasingly refined.

Without activating the cursed seal, he already possesses the abilities of a Jonin.

Time passed day by day.

But in reality, time is still flowing slowly.

After casting the illusion, Xingxia Xiu did not stay in the same place, but directly opened a portal and left the Alliance Fortress, arriving at the holy land he had built.

On the giant tree known as the Sacred Tree, inside a wooden house, Tsunade sat cross-legged, with a small slug perched on her shoulder.

As soon as Hoshino appeared, Tsunade immediately opened her eyes and asked in confusion, "Has the tournament already ended?"

Hoshita Shuichi sat down in front of Tsunade and smiled, "No, but I don't have to stay there all the time."

"How's your cultivation going?"

Tsunade nodded: "Your transformation technique is too profound. Even if we learn it through the mental world, it's not something that I and the slug could master in a short time."

Xingxia Xiu nodded, not surprised.

That's cheating, after all.

As for Tsunade and Slug's current state, it wouldn't be difficult to achieve this after Slug Sage accepted his curse seal.

After all, Tsunade possesses her complete Heavenly Star Seal, a seal of the same origin, and with the summoning contract, it is much simpler than Jiraiya cooperating with the two great sages of Mount Myōboku.

Of course, the reason for taking this step was not to increase Tsunade's combat power or healing ability, but to have a larger amount of Sage Chakra in order to train herself to become a Sage.

The so-called cultivation of becoming a sage was named by Hoshino Shuichi himself, which means gradually achieving a state where cells feed on natural energy.

That is, the levels of Slug Sage, Toad Maru, and White Snake Sage.

Shuichi Hoshino can do it himself.

Only by reaching this stage can one possess a lifespan of hundreds or even thousands of years.

Without the fruit of the Divine Tree, even with the Heavenly Star Seal, the Hundred Healings Technique, and the Yin Seal, it would still take Tsunade an extremely long time to gradually transform herself into a Sage.

Training with the Slug Sage can greatly accelerate Tsunade's transformation into a Sage.

Of course, this is not without its benefits for the Slug Sage.

Because for the Slug Sage, she had already reached her limit.

It seemed there was no way out if we went any further.

But Hoshino Shuichi brought hope.

For example, the Seal of the Celestial Star.

For example, the fruit of the divine tree.

Even the pie in Hoshino Shizuka's drawing: it was made into a human shape!

This is not a simple transformation.

Rather, it is a true and fundamental change in the physical body.

This is not impossible for Shuichi Hoshino, just as Orochimaru can transform into Yamata no Orochi and the Slug Sage can transform into a human.

The first step that Shuichi Hoshino gave was to teach the Slug Sage his transformation technique.

This is a bit difficult for the Slug Sage, but the Heavenly Star Seal and merging with Tsunade can greatly reduce the difficulty.

To be honest, Shuichi Hoshino is really looking forward to seeing the Slug Master truly master his transformation technique and become human again.

Because that would inevitably greatly enhance the Slug Sage's abilities.

Of course, even this step is not easy.

"Let's enter the world of the mind first!"

He spun a path under the stars, then connected Tsunade and the slug with chakra.

Within the realm of the mind, Hoshinoichi placed the slug on his shoulder and said, "Let's enter Sage Mode. I'll guide the chakra, and you, slug, will be responsible for materializing the form."

Of course, given Hoshino Shuichi's current state, Sage Mode is no longer relevant.

The next step requires the two to be in a state of unified power, which can be described as Sage Mode.

With the Heavenly Star Seal and their minds connected, this step is very simple.

After finishing, Hoshino Shizuka guided his chakra, and as the slug sensed the flow of chakra, the image of a woman appeared in its mind.

The next moment, with a bang, smoke rose up, and a tiny little girl appeared on Hoshino Shuichi's shoulder.

Tsunade stared, stunned.

Because the little girl who turned out of the slug was a blatant copy of her!

On Hoshino Hideichi's shoulder, the Slug Sage looked down at himself, then stretched his little hands before speaking, "Lady Tsunade, the person I know best is you."

Tsunade looked at the miniature version of herself and asked somewhat awkwardly, "Katsuyu, how much chakra is needed to maintain this transformation technique?"

The slug said, "Lady Tsunade doesn't need much chakra. With the cursed seal, there's no need for additional consumption, and theoretically, it can be maintained indefinitely."

"Moreover, just as Lord Shuichi said before, it possesses all the instincts of a human being."

As he spoke, the slug leaped down from Hoshino Shizuka's shoulder and then formed a hand seal.

Bang bang bang!

Seven or eight miniature versions of Tsunade appeared in succession.

It was a slug that had formed hand seals and used a clone technique.

Of course, for him, there is no need to use hand seals to cast the clone technique; he can directly split himself.

After transforming into a human, she will not lose the abilities she possessed in her original form.

But the hand seals mean that the transformation is not just a formality.

Looking at the slug with its familiar human body, Tsunade couldn't help but ask Hoshita Shuichi, "Shuichi, does a slug transformation necessarily require a reference point?"

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "Theoretically speaking, that's how it is."

The transformation technique has a reference point.

Even if the Slug Sage masters the Transformation Technique, the person he transforms into may not be Tsunade, or anyone else in the ninja world, but there will definitely be a reference point.

Of course, these are all minor details.

Anyway, it's impossible for Hoshino Shuichi to mistake someone for someone else.

After training with Tsunade and the others for a while, Hoshino Shuichi went to another wooden house.

This is Kaguya Otsutsuki's training ground.

After naturally having physical intimacy, Kaguya Otsutsuki moved here to train.

Moreover, her personality is indeed more suited to this place.

Tsunade only comes here when she needs to train.

On the contrary, Shizune and Asuka spend a lot of time here because Kaguya Otsutsuki is pregnant.

They didn't like Kaguya Otsutsuki and couldn't see her as Mei Terumi or Konan.

Furthermore, Kaguya Otsutsuki's personality made it impossible for her to integrate with Shizune and the others.

When Hoshino arrived, Kaguya Otsutsuki was sitting by the window, gazing blankly at the dense forest.

Stepping forward and sitting down, Hoshino Shuichi embraced Kaguya.

Kaguya remained aloof, but her body leaned gently against Hoshino Shuichi.

She seems to be used to depending on others, but at the same time strongly resists this dependence.

Therefore, Shuichi Hoshino did not allow the relationship between the two to become one of dependence.

"Kaguya, if one day we destroy the Ōtsutsuki clan, will you still come back here?"

Hoshita Shuichi followed Kaguya's gaze to the window, where several small birds were playing on the treetops.

He specifically captured them in the ninja world and sent them here to replenish the vitality of life.

Kaguya Otsutsuki did not look away: "That must be something from a very long time ago, something that is even impossible to be certain of."

"If we can do it, maybe."

"Although the ninja world isn't all that wonderful, it's still better than the Otsutsuki clan."

Hoshino Hideichi smiled and said, "I thought you were going to mention the children."

Kaguya Otsutsuki withdrew her gaze and looked down at her abdomen: "They will have their own lives and won't like us interfering with them."

"Like Hamura and Hagoromo."

Hoshino Shuichi gently stroked Kaguya's abdomen, knowing that the betrayal of her two sons was the deepest pain in Kaguya's heart.

In melodramatic family dramas, it's impossible to tell right from wrong.

Or rather, right and wrong simply depend on which side you're on.

Now that Hoshino Shuichi and Kaguya Otsutsuki are sitting together, he naturally feels that the Sage of Six Paths and his brother are rebellious sons.

Ok.

He is now fully qualified to criticize the Sage of Six Paths.

A stepfather is still a father!

Speaking of which, should we call upon the Sage of Six Paths to give him a beating?

……

Hoshino Shuichi didn't stay at the sacred site for long. He calculated the time, and by the time he returned to the tournament venue, the Chunin Championship had just ended.

Everyone slowly awoke from the illusion, and looking at the densely packed heads around them, they all felt as if they had been transported to another world.

"What a wondrous power!"

"The power of God!"

"As expected of Shuichi, the greatest ninja!"

Many people marveled at the fact that there were ordinary people, as well as nobles and ministers.

This illusion was undoubtedly a novel experience.

Even for the daimyo of the five great nations.

Beneath the giant tree, Minato Namikaze and the other figures stood up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the top ten rankings for this championship have been determined."

It was the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, who spoke, his voice reaching everyone's ears and drawing all their attention: "In addition to the predetermined promotion to Jonin of the League, the top ten in this tournament will receive extra rewards."

"An extra reward?"

"What reward?"

"Ninjutsu? Or ninja tools?"

A commotion erupted all around.

Minato Namikaze smiled and said, "This extra reward is provided by Lord Shuichi, the God of Shinobi."

"Now, please have the top ten ninjas come forward."

These words only aroused even louder uproar.

Shuichi Hoshino's reputation is too great.

Although he has basically not been involved in the management of the Ninja League in recent years.

However, its impact is felt in many ways.

The transformation of the Land of Rain and the Land of Wind.

Alliance Fortress.

Jonin training course.

Sage Mode.

For many ninjas, Hoshino no Shuichi, the god of ninjas, was omnipotent.

"Starry Night White, Mitarashi Anko, Kurotsuchi, Deidara, Kimimaro, Akatsuchi, Nozomi, Omoi, Hozuki Suigetsu, Temari."

Minato Namikaze read out the names of the top ten Chunin one by one.

Bai and the others stood up, but before they could move, they suddenly disappeared from their original positions and reappeared in front of Minato Namikaze and the others.

However, it was Hoshino Shuichi who directly teleported them over.

"Lord Shuichi!"

Bai and the others bowed respectfully, all looking expectantly at Hoshino Hideaki.

Minato Namikaze also stepped aside, giving the center position to Shuichi Hoshino.

Hoshino Hideichi's gaze swept over Shiro and the others.

He can say he knows any ten people very well.

hope, a ninja from the Cloud Village, was the right-hand man of the Fourth Raikage in the original story. Although he was instantly defeated by Sasuke Uchiha's Sharingan genjutsu.

But those who can become Jonin are not simple.

Needless to say, characters like Haku, Kurotsuchi, and Kimimaro are already top-tier in terms of talent, and they also possess bloodline limits.

Without the guidance of Hoshino Shuichi, Anko might not have made it into the top ten, but having mastered the Fire Release Chakra Mode, she is currently only inferior to Haku.

"The extra reward this time is a chakra pill."

Hoshino Hideichi raised his right hand, opened his palm, and a golden pill lay in his palm.

"Yes, you can call it a magic pill."

Hoshino Shizuka chose a rather sophisticated name.

For a moment, everyone, including Haku and the others, as well as other ninjas and even Minato Namikaze, stared at the elixir in Hoshino's hand.

Minato Namikaze and the others were also very curious about the effects of this elixir.

The elixir in his palm flew up and fell towards the white starlight.

Bai quickly reached out and took the pill: "Thank you, Lord Xiuyi!"

Hoshino Hideichi chuckled and said, "Take it!"

Bai nodded gently, then swallowed the elixir under the watchful eyes of many.

The next moment, under the gazes of everyone, a dazzling golden light emanated from Bai's body, and everyone felt an incomparably powerful surge of chakra.

Click!Click!

Suddenly, Minato Namikaze and the others looked down at the ground.

From the center of the white area, frost was spreading little by little.

"The power is too great, I can't control it..."

Minato Namikaze was startled.

However, the spreading frost quickly stopped, and the golden light that had been shining also subsided.

Looking at Xingxia Bai again, he was already wearing an ice-blue chakra cloak.

The outer garment is adorned with gold magatama and lotus patterns, giving it an ethereal and fairy-like appearance.

"So strong!"

Bai clenched his fist: "Ten times more powerful than activating the cursed seal mode..."

"Moreover, this power is changing my Ice Release abilities."

Those around were even more shocked.

The Fourth Kazekage secretly marveled, "This is truly unbelievable! Just one pill has given this child power surpassing that of a Kage!"

Yes, in his perception, the power Bai was displaying at this moment had surpassed his own.

Then, the Fourth Kazekage couldn't help but look at his daughter, Temari.

Looking at Bai's appearance, Hoshino no Shuichi nodded with satisfaction and smiled, "This mode... can be called the Immortal Emperor Mode!"

Immortal Emperor Mode...

Many people muttered to themselves unconsciously, feeling a sense of awe and wonder without fully understanding. (End of Chapter)
