Konoha's lexicon of ninjas

Chapter 77 Severely Injured! (Please Subscribe and Vote)

"Both Iwa ninja and Kumo ninja are possibilities."

Minato Namikaze said, "There are also spies from Kumogakure in Kusagakure; it's unavoidable."

Kurama Yasunari laughed and said, "It seems this mission will be quite challenging."

"By the way, we've already fought against the Sand Ninja and the Rock Ninja, so only the Cloud Ninja and the Mist Ninja are left. It's said that the Cloud Ninja are more skilled in ninjutsu and taijutsu, as well as lightning release."

Uchiha Shisui smiled and reminded him, "A skill is just a skill, Sanyo. Never label an unknown enemy."

……

Because it was an urgent mission, although they chatted and laughed along the way, Hoshino Shuichi and his three companions did not slow down at all.

They only rested for half an hour in between, and arrived at Kusagakure in the evening.

"Greetings, friends from Konoha. I am Muwa, a Chunin from the village."

The person in charge of receiving Hoshino Shuichi and the others was a young ninja who looked to be about the same age as Minato Namikaze.

Upon hearing the self-introduction, Hoshino Shuichi couldn't help but scrutinize him carefully.

Nothing special.

"Minato Namikaze, a Jonin of Konoha, is also one of the people in charge of the sealing this time."

Minato Namikaze laughed.

Then, the three of them, including Hoshino Shizuka, introduced themselves.

Afterwards, Wuwei led Hoshinobi and the other three into Kusagakure and settled down.

Since it was already night and they were quite tired, Hoshinobi Shuichi and the others were not in the mood to observe the Grass Ninja Village.

After meeting with the leader of Kusagakure, Minato Namikaze returned and said, "The sealing will take place tomorrow. After dinner, the three of you, Shuichi, should rest immediately. After midnight, you can take turns keeping watch."

The three, including Hoshino Shizuka, nodded in unison: "Understood!"

Although Kusagakure and Konoha are on good terms and this is not a battlefield, Minato Namikaze still did not relax.

Fortunately, nothing happened overnight.

The following day, shortly after breakfast, Wuwei, who had been there to meet them the day before, reappeared and led Hoshino Hideichi and the others to the sealed land.

On the way, Xingxia Xiuyi subtly glanced around.

In terms of both size and prosperity, Kusagakure is clearly no match for Konoha; on the contrary, it really looks like a "village".

"Perhaps after completing the mission, I can wander around and wonder if Karin's mother is in Kusagakure now."

Hoshino Shizuka pondered to himself.

After the Land of Whirlpools was destroyed, the clansmen scattered. Karin's mother, like Nagato's mother, likely wandered far from home, married, and had children.

It's unclear whether Karin's mother was originally a member of the Grass Ninja, or whether she married into the Grass Ninja and was then used as a "medical tool" after her husband died.

Or is it……

"arrive!"

As Wuwei's voice rang out, Xingxia Xiu focused his gaze on the front, where he saw a rather magnificent building. From the main entrance to the roof, Kusanagi ninjas were on high alert.

Squeak!

The gate opened, and a middle-aged man of about forty years old came out with two grass ninja.

Wuwei quickly stepped forward to pay his respects, and Xingxia Xiu immediately realized that this was the leader of Kusagakure.

This person was very enthusiastic towards Minato Namikaze and also took care of Shuichi Hoshino and the others. He was extremely tactful and considerate in his dealings with people.

After exchanging pleasantries, the leader of the Grass Village said, "Next, we will have to rely on Jonin Minato. This ninja tool has already devoured six ninjas. If this continues, the entire village will be destroyed by it."

"According to the legends that have been passed down, the most worrying thing is that this ninja tool may give birth to a terrible monster."

"For the safety of the entire ninja world, even the ninja tools passed down by the Sage of Six Paths must be sealed away."

The leader of Kusagakure spoke with heartfelt sincerity, and Minato Namikaze solemnly pledged to do his utmost to seal it.

It's all for the sake of the ninja world!

Hoshino Shuichi watched this scene while secretly speculating.

Did the Box of Bliss really swallow six ninjas on its own?

Would the Grass Village, which enjoys studying other people's ninjutsu, really be willing to part with such a powerful ninja tool that is suspected to have been left behind by the Sage of Six Paths?

Whether it's judging others with the mind of a petty person or not, Hoshino Shuichi has no choice but to assume the worst about others to avoid losing his guard and falling into a trap.

After these words, the leader of the Grass Ninja Village led Hoshinobi Shuichi and the other three into the building, while Muwei remained outside.

Four thick pillars stood tall in the empty hall, and in the middle stood the ninja tool to be sealed, a peculiar, even somewhat eerie, box.

Directly opposite the main gate, which is the first thing Hoshino Shuichi and the others saw upon entering, was a human face with an exaggerated expression, representing "joy".

Around the ninja tools, next to the four pillars, there is a grass ninja guarding each one.

Runes were inscribed beneath them, on the ground, and on the pillars, forming a large spell that enveloped the central Box of Bliss.

"Fire Release..."

After glancing at it a few times, Hoshinobi Hideyoshi couldn't help but think to himself, "It seems that the Grass Ninja Village, which can maneuver among the major ninja villages, is quite capable. They are truly not to be underestimated."

This reminded him of the Earth Grudge Fear of Takigakure and Hidan's evil god power, who came from Yugakure.

"This is a unique binding technique of our village, the Great Fire Prison. Although it is enough to bind this ninja tool, it requires someone to maintain it for a long time."

The leader of the Grass Ninja Village introduced the situation with a hint of pride in his tone, but then sighed, "But to solve this once and for all, we still need Jonin like Minato to seal it."

"I'll leave the rest to you. There have been some outside forces invading the village recently, so I'll personally guard the outside to prevent anyone from breaking in and interfering with the sealing process."

Minato Namikaze immediately replied, "Please rest assured, we will do our utmost!"

The leader of the Grass Ninja Village nodded and then left with his men, leaving behind only the four Grass Ninja who were responsible for the restraint technique.

Squeak!

The heavy door closed, and the light immediately dimmed.

"Shuichi, prepare to use the Eight Trigrams Seal with me."

Minato Namikaze ordered, "Shisui, San'yō, on alert!"

"clear!"

The three accepted the order. Uchiha Shisui stood guard directly opposite the gate, while Kurama Sanyou leaped up and hid in the darkness of the roof beam.

Minato Namikaze opened his backpack and took out scrolls, pen, and ink.

Hoshino Shuichi stepped forward and took the scroll, and together with Namikaze Minato, they each drew the sealing formula on a scroll.

But before the spell could be drawn up, there was a commotion outside.

Hoshino Shuichi and Namikaze Minato were completely focused, while Uchiha Shisui had one hand already on the hilt of his sword and his left hand ready to form hand seals.

On the roof beam, Kurama Sanyo was in the same situation, ready to use genjutsu to control the enemy and create opportunities for Uchiha Shisui.

The commotion outside grew louder and louder, to the point that the ground was shaking.

Suddenly, Uchiha Shisui shouted, "Watch out!"

Almost simultaneously, he activated his Sharingan, formed hand seals with one hand to perform the Body Flicker Technique, splitting his body into numerous clones that appeared behind Hoshino Shuichi and Namikaze Minato.

Immediately afterwards, a whooshing sound rang out, doors and windows were pierced, and countless rock bullets burst in.

One by one, Uchiha Shisui moved about, wielding his sword to block the rocks that were aimed at Hoshino Shuichi and Namikaze Minato.

Meanwhile, the sun at Kurama Mountain remains dormant.

After Uchiha Shisui blocked a wave of attacks, the door suddenly exploded open, and several figures rushed in.

"Shadow clones?"

"no!"

"Watch out, the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan!"

……

A chaotic battle broke out, with Uchiha Shisui leading the charge and Kurama Sanyou assisting, holding off three ninjas who had broken in.

Just then, Hoshino Shuichi and Namikaze Minato finally completed the technique.

The two formed a hand seal together, then placed their hands on the scroll's incantation.

The next moment, the tadpole-like runes swam rapidly and climbed onto the box of bliss.

Just as the sealing was underway, Uchiha Shisui, with the help of Kurama San'yō, killed two people in succession, and the other person immediately retreated.

The next moment, another wave of attacks came in from outside, and countless rocks crackled and pierced through the walls, wooden planks, and roof beams.

It not only targets Uchiha Shisui, but also Kurama Sanyou, who is hiding in the shadows using genjutsu.

Kurama Yama immediately dodged in all directions, but the attacks were too dense. Muffled thuds rang out one after another. Kurama Yama groaned in pain as his body fell from the air and crashed to the ground, his scarlet blood immediately staining the ground red.

"Sanyo!"

Uchiha Shisui exclaimed in surprise.

While being sealed away, Hoshino Shizuka glanced back and gritted his teeth, exclaiming, "Minato-sensei!"

Minato Namikaze lowered his eyes, then withdrew his hand: "Save them first!"

But at that moment, the four grass ninjas activated a binding technique. Dark red flames rose up, weaving and intertwining like a large net, shrinking towards the center.

"Jonin Minato, this Box of Bliss must be sealed, otherwise it will devour people once it awakens."

Kusanagi shouted.

"court death!"

Xingxia Xiu was furious. Blue flames flickered in his eyes. He reached out and drew his sword. Blue flames spread across the blade, and then it expanded with a boom.

Blue Flame Waterfall Blade!

The blue broadsword, which was over ten meters long, was cut down by Xingxia Xiu's hands.

Rumble!

The Grass Ninja's binding technique, Great Fire Prison, was sliced ​​open with a single strike, then split the wooden floor, leaving a charred mark.

"How is that possible?"

The four ninjas who maintained their techniques exclaimed in surprise.

Although they were only Chunin, their combined efforts to maintain the jutsu made it impossible for even Jonin to break through so easily.

This brat from Konoha actually...

Kusanagi was horrified. After breaking through the Great Fire Prison, Hoshino immediately raised one hand and created two fire-style clones to attack.

Just then, several enemies rushed in, and the two fire-style clones instantly transformed into two balls of blazing white flame, which then bloomed and exploded.

Rumble!

Several enemies were blown away, while Uchiha Shisui carried Kurama Sanyou to Hoshino Shuichi's side.

As for Minato Namikaze, he disappeared the moment Shuichi Hoshino broke through the Great Fire Prison.

"This is troublesome..."

As Hoshishita Shuichi sheathed his sword and bent down to examine Kurama Yamayo's injuries, his heart immediately skipped a beat.

Four wounds, both front and back open.

Heart, lungs, liver, arteries...

Cold sweat poured down his forehead. Hoshino Hideichi quickly took down his scroll, unsealed it, and took out the medical ninjutsu scroll given to him by Yakushi Nonou. He spread it out on Kurama Sanyou's body.

The Eight Trigrams Seal is broken!

Yin seal, released!

Hoshita Shuichi once again completely released the Yin Seal, releasing all the stored chakra, and then placed his right palm on the scroll.

In an instant, a gentle green chakra light bloomed.

The medical ninjutsu scroll was activated, and the regeneration technique was unleashed, immediately enveloping Kurama Yasunari's torso in green light.

Although Hoshino Hideichi did not possess the art of healing and regeneration, with this scroll, he was essentially performing the technique at this moment.

However, Kurama Sanyou had too many injuries, so he could only use his chakra to regenerate and heal his heart and arteries first.

With one hand on the scroll manipulating chakra, Hoshino Shuichi then raised his left hand to create a shadow clone to treat Kurama Sanyou's lung problem.

With his lung punctured, Kurama Sanyo will die from suffocation due to bleeding if left untreated.
