Chapter 67 The Flower of Flame! (Second update, please subscribe and vote)

Lying down again, Hoshino Shuichi calmed down.

This "Sealing Master" is much more difficult than "Fire Release Master" or "Sword Master".

Developing sealing techniques is much more difficult.

Finally, as Xingxia Xiu looked at the last effect of [Sealing Master], he couldn't help but wonder, "Is the Adamantine Sealing Chains a bloodline limit?"

"I remember it was a secret technique."

"But the Adamantine Sealing Chains are closely related to the physique of the Uzumaki clan, and should also belong to the category of bloodline limits."

Shaking his head inwardly, Hoshino Shuichi put aside the thought that had surfaced in his mind.

Although the Vajra Sealing Technique is very strong, if he could obtain the title of "Sealing Master," then transforming the sealing technique he created into a bloodline limit would be the most appropriate thing to do.

"I could even create sealing techniques based on bloodline limits..."

As the water grew colder, Hoshino Shuichi finished his bath and went to his study to organize the sealing techniques he had learned.

Reviewing the old helps us learn the new!

The next day, when Hoshino Shuichi returned from morning training, he found a scroll and a note on his desk.

Upon picking it up, he discovered it was left behind by Minato Namikaze.

Unroll the scroll, and a ninjutsu technique comes into view.

Darkness Travel Technique!

A visual illusion that can blind the enemy.

This is undoubtedly an excellent illusion technique for dealing with eye-type magic.

After sealing the scroll in the sealed scroll given by Tianyun, Hoshino Shuichi washed up and headed to Konoha Hospital.

In the days that followed, Hoshino Shuichi changed his training in sealing techniques from following Minato Namikaze to learning from Kushina Uzumaki, and the training took place at Minato's house.

Time flies, and it's already July. The annual Chunin Exams have begun again.

After learning that Kakashi was participating, Hoshino Shuichi made a special trip to watch him in the second and third rounds.

As expected, Kakashi successfully became a Chunin, becoming the second genius in Konoha to become a Chunin at the age of six.

His birthday is in September, and he is currently six years old!

After his successful promotion, Hoshino suggested a celebration, but Kakashi said, "How about we have a comprehensive competition?"

Hoshino Hideichi raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and readily agreed: "You decide today!"

Kakashi then said, "Then the first match will be from here to the training grounds; let's see who arrives first!"

Matt Kai quickly replied, "How could such a thrilling competition be complete without me?"

However, Nohara Rin and the others, who were also waiting for the results, also gathered around.

"And me!"

Obito Uchiha was not to be outdone.

Seeing Sarutobi Asuma eager to try, Hoshishita Shuichi said, "In that case, let's all do it together!"

The girls, including Jingyin, responded enthusiastically.

So the group of people stood in a row, and as soon as Xingxia Xiuyi gave the order, everyone used the Instantaneous Movement Technique and sped towards the training ground.

In the blink of an eye, the talent pool has been formed.

At the very front, equally matched, are Hoshino Shuichi, Kakashi, and Sarutobi Asuma.

The second tier consists of Might Guy and Obito Uchiha.

The third group consists of Shizune, Kurenai Yuhi, and Rin Nohara.

However, when Hoshino Shuichi used his recently developed Fire Flicker Technique, he immediately widened the gap between himself and Kakashi and Sarutobi Asuma.

But soon Hoshino Shuichi heard a crackling sound of electricity coming from behind him.

He looked back and saw Kakashi crackling with electricity, his speed immediately increasing.

"He's already begun to utilize Lightning Release chakra nature transformation in his body. As expected of Kakashi!"

Hoshino Hiroichi secretly praised him.

Asuma Sarutobi looked at the two people in front of him and couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Damn it, we can't catch up!

He decided to ask his older brother, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, for advice when he got back.

……

The winner of the first match was undoubtedly Hoshino Shuichi, as Kakashi's application of Lightning Release chakra nature transformation was still quite rudimentary.

Scene Two, by the River.

Hoshino Shuichi and Kakashi collided at an extremely fast speed under everyone's gaze.

Fists and feet clashed, no fighting was possible, sparks flew everywhere.

Both of them used speed to fight, leaving Shizune and the others only able to see a series of afterimages.

"So fast!"

Kurenai Yuhi was surprised.

Suddenly, Hoshita Shuichi threw Kakashi's kunai. But Kakashi immediately drew his sword, forcing Hoshita Shuichi to drop his kunai as well.

So he also drew his own Ame-no-Kami (Heavenly Sword).

Short sword against short sword!

The metal clanged, and sparks flew in a string.

However, Might Guy and Sarutobi Asuma soon noticed that Kakashi was at a disadvantage.

Kakashi retreated, then suddenly performed several backflips before sheathing his sword and rapidly forming hand seals.

Lightning Release?

After making two symbolic hand seals, Hoshinoichi unleashed a powerful fireball, directly interrupting Kakashi's ninjutsu and forcing him to dodge.

Obito Uchiha, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but widen his eyes at this scene.

This was the first time he had ever seen a double-seal fireball technique!

Meanwhile, Hoshino Shuichi casually swung out several shuriken, which Kakashi had to dodge repeatedly.

Even so, Kakashi still managed to complete the hand seals.

Lightning Release: Earth Walk!

The lightning bolt shot straight up the ground towards Hoshino Hideaki.

Hoshinoichi leaped into the air and unleashed a Dragonfire Technique that blasted the ground, scattering the stray lightning.

Before he even landed, he unleashed another Phoenix Fire Technique, simultaneously throwing out his shuriken that merged with the clusters of fireballs.

Impatiens flower claws are red!

Kakashi immediately dodged and weaved.

As Hoshino Hideichi landed, two more marks appeared.

Fire Release: Plain Burning Technique!

Kakashi suddenly burst into flames and immediately plunged into the river.

Hoshino Shuichi plunged into the river, and as soon as Kakashi surfaced, a kunai was already at his neck.

But the next moment, with a bang, Kakashi turned into a cloud of smoke.

Behind Hoshino Shuichi, Kakashi's true form, emerging from Kawachi, had already completed his ninjutsu.

Lightning Release: Earth Walk!

A branch-shaped bolt of lightning shot from his back straight towards Hoshinoichi.

Rumble!

The river beneath their feet exploded, churning up waves and billowing steam, while Hoshino Shuichi had vanished without a trace.

"So fast!"

Kakashi's gaze sharpened, the water vapor was torn apart, and three stars of Shuichi rushed towards him, leaving afterimages.

It's the Dance of the Crescent Moon!

It was too late to form hand seals.

On the river, under the watchful eyes of Shizune and the others, Kakashi was forced to retreat step by step by the three Hoshino-sukes, and finally had no choice but to surrender.

Speed, taijutsu, swordsmanship, ninjutsu... Kakashi was completely outmatched.

This battle was incredibly exciting for Shizune and her friends; it was on a completely different level from the actual combat training they did at school.

"This is Chunin? The difference is too great."

Kurenai couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Shizune and Nohara Rin nodded in unison.

Subsequently, Might Guy, Obito Uchiha, and Asuma Sarutobi all fought against Shuichi Hoshino and Kakashi, experiencing the power of Chunin.

……

As the sun set, everyone parted ways, with Hoshino Shuichi escorting Shizune home.

As they passed the flower shop, Shizune stopped and said, "Lady Tsunade needs her flowers changed. Why don't we take them back now?"

"Then let's go take a look."

Hoshino Shuichi accompanied Shizune into the flower shop.

At that moment, the florist was watering the wilted flowers. Hoshino Shuichi looked at the unfolding petals and suddenly froze on the spot.

After choosing the flowers, Shizune, seeing Hoshino's expression, couldn't help but ask, "Shuichi, you like morning glories?"

Hoshino Hideaki snapped out of his daze, smiled, and nodded: "I like it!"

"This must be my lucky flower!"

Jingyin listened and remembered it, then quickly said, "Then why don't we buy it!"

Hoshino Shuichi had the same idea, so he nodded and bought it, also paying for the silent one as well.

After sending Shizune home, Hoshino Shuichi rushed back home as quickly as possible, found a vase, and put the flowers in it.

The reason he called the morning glory his lucky flower was because seeing the flower unfold reminded him of the shape changes of Fire Release techniques.

The process of simulating a flower blooming is used to unleash Fire Release chakra.

The process of a flower blooming is a process of explosive eruption.

However, Xiu Yi doesn't know if it works; he still needs to test it carefully.

The first step in the experiment was to improve his control over Fire Release chakra so that he could simulate a flower, and then simulate the process of a flower from bud to bloom.

It's definitely not easy.

After washing up and eating, Hoshino Shuichi stared at the morning glory on the table and began to experiment.

He opened his right palm and first performed a Fire Release chakra nature transformation, immediately causing a dancing flame to appear on his palm.

Then he began to control the flame, transforming it into the shape of a trumpet flower.

After trying it a little bit, it was already 10 o'clock.

Shoichi Hoshino, feeling somewhat weak, finished his training and began to rest.

……

July is almost over before we know it.

At Konoha Hospital, Hoshino Shuichi, who had just completed an operation, returned to the rest room with a smile on his face.

It's finally finished.

The five medical ninjutsu—Basic Healing Technique, Palm Healing Technique, Minor Ailment Extraction Technique, Yin Healing and Wound Destruction Technique, and Chakra Scalpel—finally met the requirements of the entry tree.

Light up!

With his eyes lowered, Xingxia Xiuyi immediately chose to activate the "Medical Expert" entry.

Medical ninjutsu talent increased by 100%, chakra control increased by 100%.

Shuichi Hoshino immediately sensed a huge difference.

He is currently accumulating chakra to enter the Yin Seal and Bagua Seal in his abdomen, which requires a very high level of chakra control.

Specifically, this is reflected in the refinement of chakra, which requires a slow and meticulous process, unlike the large-scale chakra refinement used in regular battles.

In the past, Hoshino Shizuka barely met the requirements, but now he can suddenly refine them down to each individual cell in the body.

"This feels so good."

Hoshino Shuichi opened his eyes with a smile on his face, then spread out his right palm.

Over the past month, through his continuous attempts, he has been able to shape Fire Release chakra into the shape of a trumpet flower, but he is still unable to perform dynamic shape changes.

With his chakra control greatly enhanced, Hoshino Shuichi naturally couldn't wait to try it out.

So, the orange-red flame in his palm quickly transformed into a flower bud shape, and then gradually bloomed outwards.

Just then, Tsunade pushed open the door and saw the flame flower blooming, and immediately froze.

Hoshita Hideichi looked up and saw Tsunade, immediately extending his hand in greeting: "Lady Tsunade, how was it?"

Tsunade snapped out of her daze, looking at the swaying flames in Hoshino Shizuka's palm, and asked, "Is this a Fire Release form transformation?"

"Why is it a flower?"

In terms of shape transformation, Fire Release techniques are basically spherical and dragon-shaped.

What is the purpose of the shape of a flower?

nice?

It's really good-looking!

Xingxia Xiu said, "It's the Fire Instantaneous Body Technique."

"Fire Instantaneous Movement?"

Tsunade still looked puzzled.

"Lady Tsunade, you'll see for yourself."

As Hoshino Shuichi spoke, he dispersed the flame flower in his hand, and then pulled Tsunade to the grove where he trained.

Tsunade looked thoughtfully at the charred pits.

Hoshino Shuichi lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment before opening them and leaping up, leaving afterimages in his wake.

Tsunade immediately focused her attention, her eyes catching the scene, and then she witnessed an astonishing sight.

While in mid-air, Hoshino Shuichi was propelled into the air by a sudden explosion.
