Konoha's lexicon of ninjas

Chapter 39 My Name, Please Invest in Me! (Seeking recommendations and monthly votes for continued reading)

The waiter left.

Minato Namikaze, holding the Yaegaki sword, looked at Hoshino and his two companions.

Uchiha Shisui spoke first: "Minato-sensei, I'm more suited to short swords."

Minato Namikaze then turned his attention to Shuichi Hoshino.

Hoshita Hideichi spread his hands and said, "Minato-sensei, my Ame-no-Mao is also a chakra blade."

"Besides, the greatest credit this time belongs to you, Minato-sensei."

Uchiha Shisui and Kurama Sanyou both nodded.

Minato Namikaze smiled helplessly.

It's not good if your subordinates are too sensible!

Unfortunately, he didn't use swords, so after thinking for a moment, he said, "Then I'll put them away first."

Then Minato Namikaze changed the subject, saying, "The next period should be relatively leisurely. Starting tomorrow, we can continue our previous training."

"Yes, Mr. Minato!"

……

Back at his residence, Hoshino Shuichi took out the scroll that Minato Namikaze had given him and spread it out.

The Leaf-style swordsmanship came into view.

First, there are the most basic sword moves, with pictures and explanations, very detailed.

Hoshino Shuichi focused intently on memorizing each move into his memory palace.

His gaze quickly fell on the final move.

Ultimate Technique - Dance of the Crescent Moon!

This move was all too familiar to Shuichi Hoshino; it was the signature technique of Hayate Gekko in the future. He had once used this move to strike Maki, a Jonin from Sunagakure, but was instead killed by Maki, who was skilled in Wind Release.

Clearly, the most crucial element of the Leaf-style swordsmanship within this scroll is this ultimate technique.

It uses two shadow clones to cooperate with the main body and attack simultaneously.

The description seems simple, but the explanation that follows is quite complex.

It's not that performing this technique is complicated, but rather the timing, speed, and angle of the attack, as well as the shadow clone's cover for the main body, and many other details.

I was completely captivated by the show under the stars.

The next day.

Hoshino Shuichi officially began to focus on training the Konoha-ryu swordsmanship, and during his free time, he continued to harm various small animals to improve his medical ninjutsu skills.

Before going on the mission, he learned a new medical ninjutsu from the medicine master Nonou.

Grade B micro-lesion extraction technique!

This is a procedure that can remove toxins and organs from the body and transplant them.

……

The days of training were not boring for Hoshino Shuichi at all, because he could feel his own progress every day.

It's not just about Konoha-style swordsmanship and medical ninjutsu, but also about chakra reserves, strength, and attack speed.

The increase in strength and attack speed was clearly felt even by Minato Namikaze and Shisui Uchiha.

Moreover, the daimyo of the Land of Fire treated him to good food and drink every day, so he didn't have to spend a single penny of his own money.

Seven days will pass in the blink of an eye.

On the eve of his departure from the daimyo's residence, Hoshino Shuichi was suddenly summoned by the daimyo of the Land of Fire.

This left everyone stunned.

Minato Namikaze immediately laughed and said, "Since the Daimyo has summoned you, Shuichi, you may go!"

Xingxia Xiu nodded and left with the waiter.

He already guessed why the lord had summoned him; it was simply that among the four, his background and identity were the easiest to win over.

After all, Minato Namikaze was already a Jonin and had a deep mark of Konoha.

Uchiha Shisui came from the prestigious Uchiha clan, and Kurama San'yō's origins were also quite remarkable, as the Kurama clan was once a renowned family.

Only Hoshino Shuichi, whose parents died early and who grew up in an orphanage, seemed to be a very easy target to win over and brainwash.

really.

Upon meeting the daimyo of the Land of Fire, Hoshino Shuichi was highly praised.

If it were a little kid, they'd probably be blown away by the hype.

Moreover, the Fire Country Daimyo did not directly recruit Hoshino Shizuka. After praising Hoshino Shizuka, he talked about the current one-country-one-village system in the ninja world, subtly telling Hoshino Shizuka that Konoha Village was guided by the Daimyo's government, the Hokage was decided by the Daimyo, and the Daimyo was the most powerful one!

Hoshita Hideichi nodded repeatedly, but inwardly he thought, "It would be better to serve Danzo than to serve you..."

After explaining a long series of principles, seeing Hoshino nodding obediently, the Fire Country Daimyo left with great satisfaction.

The remaining waiter then extended an olive branch to Hoshino Shuichi: "Hoshino Shuichi, would you be willing to become the daimyo's direct guardian ninja?"

Hoshita Shuichi nodded without hesitation: "Of course I'm willing!"

"Your Excellency, you can directly order the Third Hokage to transfer me to the Daimyo's residence."

The waiter was taken aback, then emphasized, "What I mean is, you leave Konoha and become a guardian ninja directly under the Daimyo!"

Hoshino Hideichi shook his head and asked, "With my strength, could I possibly stop a powerful ninja like Kenichi Kotobuki?"

The waiter shook his head.

Hoshita Hideaki said, "Then even if I become a guardian ninja directly under the daimyo, I still won't be able to protect the daimyo."

The waiter frowned: "But your talent is exceptional; you are a genius of Konoha!"

Hoshita Hideichi repeatedly asked, "Can the Daimyo give me ninjutsu?"

The waiter shook his head.

Hoshita Shuichi then asked, "Does the Daimyo have any Jonin like Minato-sensei to guide my training?"

The waiter shook his head again.

Hoshita Hideichi shrugged: "If that's the case, what use would it be for me to join the daimyo's ranks now?"

"They are utterly incapable of shouldering the responsibility of protecting the daimyo!"

The waiter nodded. That makes sense!

Before he could ask what to do, Hoshino Shuichi continued, "Therefore, you should fully support my development and growth in Konoha so that I can become a Jonin who can stand on my own. Only then will I be able to better serve the Daimyo."

"Only when I become a Jonin will I be able to train more ninjas for the Daimyo."

"You know, besides money, the most important thing in training a ninja is access to various ninjutsu resources!"

The waiter nodded solemnly: "You're quite right. I will inform the lord of this matter. Please wait a moment."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

In the palace of the daimyo of the Land of Fire, the daimyo smiled after hearing the servant's account: "As expected of a genius, what he said is completely correct."

"Then let's fully support Hoshino Shuichi!"

The waiter hesitated for a moment, then said, "Sir, this Hoshino Shuichi is very intelligent, and the future is uncertain. Could he betray you?"

The daimyo of the Land of Fire said indifferently, "So what?"

"All I paid was some money."

"Can 30 million buy a Jonin who will completely obey my orders?"

"Can one hundred million buy a Jonin who will completely obey my orders?"

"Even if he betrays me in the future, it's only a matter of losing thirty million or a hundred million, which is nothing compared to what was given to Konoha!"

The waiter quickly replied, "Your Excellency is wise!"

The daimyo of the Land of Fire smiled and said, "However, we cannot stop recruiting ninjas from outside."

"Furthermore, this child's suggestion is excellent."

"From now on, notify Konoha every so often and ask them to send young ninjas to the Daimyo's residence."

"Ideally, they should be geniuses!"

The waiter quickly bowed and nodded, "Yes!"
