Konoha's lexicon of ninjas

Chapter 9 Tsunade! (Please vote and give me your monthly tickets to continue reading!)

It costs 1000 taels per sheet, and it's such a small sheet.

Hoshino Shuichi remembers that there are also larger explosive tags, which might be more expensive.

As expected of an arms dealer!

Hoshino Shuichi suddenly wondered where Konan got those hundreds of billions of explosive tags.

Bought it?

"I'm afraid it's related to Xiao Nan's own secret technique."

Shuichi Hoshita secretly speculated, "Kakuzu's earnings were probably used by Konan to buy paper or materials for making paper."

The paper that holds ninjutsu and chakra is obviously not ordinary paper.

Just like the ninja world has its own unique chakra metal that can conduct chakra.

Looks like I'll have to change my summer plans...

Hoshita Shuichi had already made up his mind.

The reward is 200 taels per piece; this money is worth earning.

And he wasn't lying when he said he had Fire Release and Wind Release chakra properties; he had already bought chakra test strips to test them before.

Reaching out to take the explosive tag, Hoshino Shuichi immediately got into focus, staring intently at the explosive tag in his hand.

The talisman has the character "爆" (explode) in the center, surrounded by incantations.

To ordinary people, this talisman is just scribbles, and there's hardly any pattern to it.

However, this was not the case for Hoshino Shizuka, who had already taught himself all the basic spells and had memorized them.

These talismans are aesthetically pleasing and follow unique patterns.

However, these seemingly simple talismans actually contain a lot of information.

"Based on sealing talismans, the seemingly simple talismans are actually condensed."

Hoshita Shuichi frowned slightly.

It is difficult to deduce the complete, non-simplified spell from a completed detonating tag.

But it's not impossible to accomplish.

Because it actually involves only two types: sealing and fire escaping.

Hoshino Shuichi had never studied sealing techniques, but the foundation of sealing techniques is actually talismans.

The ninja academy's textbook on talismans lists nine of the most commonly used basic sealing talismans.

Similarly, there are examples of fire-style talismans.

The detonation tag is easy to activate; the gesture is the right half of the "未" (not yet) mark.

Hoshino Shuichi clearly saw from Uchiha Obito that the Great Fireball Technique has a total of six seals, and the second seal is the "Not" seal.

Furthermore, the first seal of the Fire Release ninjutsu he inherited from his father—Flame Bullet—is also the "Not" seal.

Hoshino Shuichi was completely absorbed in his analysis, retrieving a vast amount of knowledge from his memory palace.

A moment later, Xingxia Xiu took out her schoolbag, took out paper and pen, and then, under Tianyun's shocked gaze, quickly drew one talisman after another.

"Wow...that's amazing!"

Tianyun covered her mouth to stop herself from exclaiming.

However, when Hoshino was about to finish, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, not all of them were correct.

However, it was already extremely shocking!

This little brother was indeed telling the truth; he's a truly remarkable genius.

Although Konoha is known for producing geniuses, this is still amazing!

Just then, Hoshino Shizuka tore off a piece of paper covered with talismans and rapidly formed hand seals.

"etc……"

Tianyun exclaimed in alarm, but it was too late to stop it.

Hoshino Hideichi completed the hand seals and placed his right palm on the paper covered with talismans on the floor.

The next moment, as chakra was injected, the tadpole-like talismans seemed to come alive, quickly moving around and converging around Hoshinoichi's palm.

"Be careful!"

Tianyun shouted, grabbed Xingxia Xiuyi and pulled him into his arms, then nimbly leaped onto the counter.

The next moment, the talisman hissed and spontaneously combusted without fire.

On the counter, Tenyun, who was holding Hoshino Hideichi, was now holding an unfolded ninjutsu scroll in his left hand, which was clearly a water-style ninjutsu scroll.

Seeing that it ignited naturally without exploding, Tianyun did not activate the water escape technique sealed within the scroll, and at the same time let out a long breath.

If this explodes, that would be terrible.

After putting away the ninjutsu scroll, Tianyun pulled Xingxia Xiuyi out of his arms.

Xingxia Xiu gasped for breath.

It was because I was holding it in.

But before Tianyun could speak, he quickly said, "Sister, I didn't inject much chakra, it won't explode."

Even if it explodes, it will be like a firecracker at most, and there will be no danger.

He wouldn't risk his life.

Tianyun blushed upon hearing this and immediately flicked Xingxia Xiuyi's forehead in protest, "That's still not allowed!"

"This is a very dangerous thing."

After getting off the counter, Tianyun put Hoshino Hideaki down, watched the latter touch his forehead, and then smiled and said, "Hey, although your spell just now was wrong, it was still very powerful, so I've decided to hire you!"

Upon hearing this, Hoshino Hideichi was overjoyed and quickly bowed, saying, "Thank you, sister!"

"I definitely won't let you down!"

Tianyun asked with a smile, "Then, little brother, shouldn't you tell me your name?"

Hoshita Shuichi quickly replied, "Hoshita Shuichi, just call me Shuichi, sister!"

……

Half an hour later, Hoshino Shuichi walked out of the shop, muttering to himself, "Ten-yun... could she have some kind of relationship with Ten-ten?"

Just now, he received the complete explosive talisman incantation and sealing talisman incantation from Tianyun, and they agreed to come over at this time every afternoon to learn how to make explosive talismans from Tianyun, with the materials provided by Tianxiang Shop.

Yes, this shop is called Tianxiang.

Looking back at the shop's sign, Hoshino Shuichi quickened his pace to go home.

Upon arriving home, after washing up, Hoshino Shuichi didn't rush to prepare dinner but instead went to his study to revise his summer plans.

According to the previously established plan, his first task this summer was to complete training in wading, tree climbing, and cliff climbing.

This was only part of his chakra control training, with the goal of mastering the medical ninjutsu left to him by Yakushi Nonou.

Secondly, there are the techniques of creating clones and using a substitute.

Next, familiarize yourself with the architectural layout of the entire Hidden Leaf Village, and fill the entire Hidden Leaf Village into your mind, making it the main structure of your memory palace.

Finally, learn as much medical ninjutsu as possible.

However, due to the explosive tags, Hoshino Shuichi felt that he needed to master a fire-style ninjutsu so that he could better utilize fire-style chakra nature transformation.

In fact, after today's experiment with the explosive tags, Hoshino Shuichi already has a certain level of confidence in the Fire Release ninjutsu, Flame Bullet.

However, learning and mastering are two different things.

……

The next day, at 9 o'clock, Hoshino Shuichi, Guy, Kakashi, and Shizune gathered together with their bags on their backs and set off for the village training ground.

The location is next to a mountain, and there happens to be a river there.

Climbing trees, wading in water, and scaling cliffs are all possible activities; it's a great training ground.

During breaks, you can even catch fish to grill.

After arriving at their destination and resting briefly, the four of them began their cultivation.

Hoshino Shuichi, Guy, and Shizune all chose to start by treading water, while Kakashi went straight up the cliff.

Clearly, Kakashi had already completed training in wading and climbing trees.

Just then, a figure was watching them from the woods not far away.

Tsunade crossed her arms, glanced at Hoshino Shuichi, and pursed her lips: "This brat doesn't seem that special!"

Having heard Hoshino Shuichi's name so often from Shizune, and now that they've agreed to train together, even though Kakashi, the White Fang of Konoha, is with them, Tsunade still plans to come and check it out.

Seeing that Hoshino and the others were cultivating peacefully, Tsunade turned around to leave, but stopped abruptly, frowning slightly as she looked towards a certain spot in the woods.

"The Dark Side... Root!"

Tsunade turned her head again to look at Hoshita Shuichi, who was training in the river, and already knew what was going on: "That Danzo guy... Hmph!"

With a silent snort, Tsunade vanished from her spot in a flash.
