"catch……"

Before Sarutobi Shinnosuke could even rejoice, the swamp that had trapped Ai dried up and then exploded with a bang. Ai, his body crackling with electricity, soared into the air, just managing to avoid Nara Satoshi's shadow technique.

"Failed, damn it!"

Nara Satoshi hurriedly chased after Ai's figure, but could only see a long streak of lightning, followed by a series of booming sounds in his ears.

Earth flow wall!

A surging, powerful current!

The earth flows into the great river!

Next up is the Vacuum Jade.

A series of ninjutsu were used by Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Chihiro, but they could not stop Ai's movements in the slightest. He broke through with extremely brutal and terrifying power.

Faced with the Wind Release technique aimed at his face, Killer Bee had no way to dodge. However, an octopus tail quietly extended from behind him, standing in front of him like a shield. At the same time, another tail swam quickly from the ground, circled around to behind Hoshino Shuichi, and suddenly launched an attack.

The octopus tail blocking Killer Bee's path was cut off, and Hoshino Shuichi used the momentum in mid-air to avoid being caught by another octopus, while the blue flames on his Ame no Kusanagi surged once more.

Blue Flame Waterfall Blade!

From a distance of more than ten meters, Hoshino Shuichi slashed at Killer Bee with his sword again.

This time, Killer Bee did not choose to defend. Instead, he used his three octopus tails to wrap around his sword and thrust it at Hoshino Shuichi in the air. He held the sword with both hands, and lightning crackled on the blade.

He's gambling!

If Hoshino Shuichi dares not dodge his attack, then he will also take Hoshino Shuichi's attack head-on, and the outcome will depend on whose defense is stronger.

But Kirabi believed that the other side would be the one to die.

However, Hoshinoichi, who was in the air, had a sudden thought, and the Bagua Seal and Yin Seal on his abdomen were completely opened, and a torrent of chakra surged out.

Bang bang bang!

Three fire-style clones appeared, then simultaneously raised their hands and curled their claws, causing orange-red flames to surge forth and form a lifelike dragon head. The dragon head opened its mouth, and a ball of blazing white flames condensed inside, which then shot out at lightning speed.

S-rank Fire Release: Dragon Flame Breath - A Sword Separates Worlds!

This is a high-temperature ray!

Initially, Hoshino Shuichi used his mouth to perform the technique, but the temperature was too high, so he switched to using his hands. He first condensed the dragon's head to form a structure similar to a human mouth, which could highly compress chakra and also served as a heat insulation layer.

At this moment, three high-temperature rays extended out, and as the fire-style clone swung its arm, it forcefully severed the octopus tail of the Eight-Tails.

At the same time, Hoshinoichi's Blue Flame Waterfall Blade struck Killer Bee's crossed swords. Lightning and fire collided, the earth cracked, and with a crack, Killer Bee's feet sank into the ground.

But he blocked it!

In the collision, Hoshino's transparent blue flame waterfall blade exploded, and clusters of blue flames scattered and fell to the ground.

"By the way, watch out for those flames!"

Inside Killer Bee's body, the Eight-Tails shouted a warning.

"Um?"

Killer Bee looked at a ball of flame beside him, and then saw the flame transform into a flower bud shape and begin to bloom.

"This is... bad!"

Chirabi's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

The next moment, the clusters of flames that splashed around him transformed into blooming fire lotuses, and then... boom!

A series of explosions created a vast expanse of blue flames, like a blue inferno.

At this moment, both Shinichi Yamanaka and Satoshi Nara, who were almost unable to intervene in such a battle, were deeply shocked.

"Compare!"

Ai was furious and extremely agitated, even though he knew that although such an attack was terrifying, it might not be able to seriously injure Killer Bee.

So, he brutally passed through the dense attacks set up by Sarutobi Shinnosuke using the Shadow Clone Technique, his figure flashing, completely breaking through the obstruction of Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Chihiro, and rushing towards Hoshinoichi in the air.

"Yan, watch out!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke shouted and flung out a shuriken. With a single vertical gesture, the small shuriken instantly transformed into a giant shuriken, spinning rapidly as it flew toward Ai, who appeared behind Hoshinobi Shuichi.

Most importantly, he imbued this shuriken with wind-style chakra.

But Ai ignored it and instead punched Hoshino Shuichi again.

He turned and brandished his sword.

The next instant, an octopus tail slapped the giant shuriken away, and Ai's fist slammed into the Ame-no-Mao sword covered in blue flames.

boom!

As Hoshino Hideichi plummeted, he crashed into the ground, creating a large crater.

However, Ai's hand, which was not protected by an arm guard, was also burned by the terrifying high temperature of the Tian Cong Dao, resulting in cuts and lacerations.

Most importantly, Hoshino Shizuka's three fire-style clones were released at this moment, transforming into flower buds, which then bloomed and exploded.

Rumble!

The explosions occurred simultaneously from three directions, all directed at Ai, creating a terrifying fire shockwave that Ai, who had lost his footing in mid-air, could not withstand and was instantly engulfed by the flames.

"Brother!"

Killer Bee on the ground roared anxiously.

During the explosion, he managed to wrap himself in his octopus tail at the crucial moment. Although he was burned to death, his body was not injured.

Furthermore, it stopped Sarutobi Shinnosuke's giant shuriken at a crucial moment.

Seeing that A had suffered the same attack as himself, crimson tailed beast chakra immediately appeared on his body. He violently broke free from Nara Satoshi's Shadow Imitation Technique and rushed towards A, who was being blasted away and falling. He leaped up and caught A.

Seeing Ai's charred and burned body, Killer Bee hurriedly asked, "Brother, are you alright?"

Ai shook her head and gritted her teeth, saying, "It's nothing!"

"However, I didn't expect this brat to be even more troublesome than Konoha's White Fang."

Looking at Hoshinoichi, who had been pulled out of the pit by Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Chihiro, Killer Bee nodded and said with a solemn expression, "This guy is not simple... I have never seen this style before. His ninjutsu seems to require no hand seals at all, or is extremely concealed."

"Moreover, his reaction was extremely fast; in that situation, he was even able to turn around and block your attack, brother."

Ai nodded, then snorted coldly, "It seems this mission is going to fail!"

If even an unknown brat is this troublesome, what if Konoha's White Fang arrives... and those two ninjutsu masters too?

Killer Bee pushed up his sunglasses: "I never expected to encounter such a formidable opponent so soon after I became famous. As expected of Konoha, you bastard, you idiot!"

"Let's retreat!"

Ai Dao.

Killer Bee nodded, gave Hoshino Shuichi a deep look, and then quickly retreated with A.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke did not order a pursuit; even they would have difficulty stopping such a powerful opponent.

By this time, Hoshino Shuichi had also recovered.

As expected of the future Fourth Raikage, his power is terrifying.

Fortunately, the Kusanagi was of good quality, and he used the Yin Healing and Destruction Technique at the crucial moment to gather chakra in his back in advance.

Otherwise, with that kind of impact, he would have coughed up blood.

Even so, the recoil almost made him lose his breath.

His arms were also shattered, the bones of which were broken.

However, this was considered a minor injury for him, and he has already fully recovered.

Watching the retreating AB duo, Hoshishita Shuichi sighed inwardly, "It's a pity we didn't get a chance to use Wind Release: Rasenshuriken..."

A shouldn't be able to escape unscathed from his Wind Release: Rasengan.

At this moment, Nara Satoshi and Yamanaka Shinichi carried the unconscious Akimichi Shigeiwa over.

Hoshino Hideichi quickly checked him over, then breathed a sigh of relief: "Thankfully, he was just stunned by the electric current and suffered some internal organ damage from the shock. There are no fatal injuries."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke and the others breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"Yan, the power is in your hands now!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke said, and then went to negotiate with the leader of the Hot Spring Village.

Now that the AB combination has withdrawn, it is the best time to transfer the evil mystical arts.

……

Hoshino Hideaki placed his palms, which glowed with green chakra, on Akimichi Shigeiwa's exposed chest to heal his internal organs, which had been injured by the shockwave.

As for the electrical burns on the skin, they are not so urgent.

"Yan, we really owe you a lot this time!"

Chihiro's tone was incredibly sincere, and she even seemed secretly shaken.

She considered herself to have pretty good illusion magic, but it was completely ineffective against the AB duo.

This was something that had not been anticipated before the war, especially by Ai.

Nara Tomo and Yamanaka Shinichi wholeheartedly agreed with Chihiro's words.

Nara Tomokazu said, "Both of these people are incredibly fast and powerful. The Jinchuriki's strength is terrifying; he actually managed to break free from the Shadow Imitation Technique."

Shinichi Yamanaka said with a wry smile, "They're too fast; we simply can't catch them."

They played almost no role in this battle.

Even Akimichi Shigeiwa was defeated by Ai in one move.

Incredibly powerful!

As they were talking, a figure suddenly appeared.

Chihiro and the others immediately went on alert, but quickly relaxed and greeted, "Senior!"

"Are you alright?"

Looking at the chaotic battlefield, Hatake Sakumo drew his sword and stepped forward.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke appeared and said, "Sakumo-senpai, only Shuichi and Shigeiwa suffered minor injuries."

"This time, we also owe a lot to Shuichi."

Hoshino Hideichi quickly shook his head and said, "Captain, if you guys hadn't held off A, I wouldn't have been able to fight Killer Bee."

"That guy has the power of a tailed beast."

He was somewhat helpless. If it were a Jonin, he would have killed him long ago, blown to pieces. But Killer Bee was completely unharmed and could even help A.

Based on the traces of the battlefield and the words of Sarutobi Shinnosuke and the others, Hatake Sakumo had already realized that Hoshinoichi was the main force in this battle.

"No matter what, you did a great job stopping the AB duo!"

Sakumo Hatake smiled and praised, then explained, "A new Lava Release Kekkei Genkai ninja has arrived in Kumogakure."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke's heart skipped a beat: "Is it Tsuchishiro, a close retainer of the Third Raikage?"

Hatake Sakumo nodded: "It's him, and he's quite a formidable figure."

Upon hearing this, Hoshino Hideichi remembered who it was.

The Cloud Ninja, who can use chakra to turn into rubber, are extremely fast at performing ninjutsu, and seem to be very experienced in dealing with high-attack, high-speed enemies.

Shinichi Yamanaka remarked, "I didn't expect the Cloud Ninja to send such a powerful expert to hold you back. It seems the Cloud Ninja were determined to win."

Chihiro laughed, "But Shuichi thwarted our plan!"

Hoshino Shuichi was helpless.

However, his performance today was indeed somewhat outstanding.

However, he was also very clear that without the chakra stored in the Yin Seal, it would be impossible to engage in such a high-intensity, high-consumption battle.

"My body, oh my body, grow up quickly..."

……

After the battle, the following night was peaceful, and the Tang Ninja Village successfully transferred the evil secret technique.

By the next morning, Akimichi Shigeiwa's injuries had basically healed.

At nine o'clock in the morning, led by the leader of the Hot Spring Ninja Village, a group of high-ranking members of the Hot Spring Ninja Village bid farewell to Hoshino Hideichi and his companions.

In particular, many eyes kept glancing at Hoshino Shuichi, who was wearing a mask.

In last night's battle, because the Senbon needles were needed, Hoshino Hideichi took off his mask.

The leader of the Hidden Hot Spring Village at the time, along with two surviving Jonin, witnessed Hoshinobi Shuichi's outstanding battle performance firsthand.

Such a talented young man, it's a pity he's not from the Hot Spring Ninja Village!

……

Because they were traveling back with Hatake Sakumo's team, Hoshino Shuichi and the others slowed down.

It took 5 p.m. to get from Yugakure to Konoha.

Inside the locker room, after taking off their gear, Hoshino Shuichi and Chihiro chatted and laughed.

Moreover, it was obvious that they became much closer after this mission.

In particular, Akimichi Shigeiwa said he would invite Hoshino Shuichi to the Akimichi clan's barbecue restaurant to taste the Akimichi clan's unique secret-recipe barbecue.

Nara Satoshi and the others also chimed in, praising the Akimichi clan's secret barbecue recipe.

How could Hoshino Shuichi refuse such a warm invitation? He readily agreed.

at the same time.

The Hokage's office.

After Sakumo Hatake, Shinnosuke Sarutobi gave a separate report to Hiruzen Sarutobi on the mission, especially the exciting battle between Shuichi Hoshita and the AB duo.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was also shocked upon hearing this, and then couldn't help but smile: "I didn't expect Shuichi to grow so fast. It seems that Minato was right. Shuichi's talent in ninjutsu is amazing, surpassing even his teacher."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded: "I'm afraid that's true."

"Shuiichi's fire release is even inferior to yours, Father. He revealed before the battle that he had also developed an S-rank wind release ninjutsu, but he did not use it in this battle."

"But it's probably no weaker than his Fire Release technique."

Hiruzen Sarutobi listened thoughtfully: "Wind Release... it's probably related to Minato's technique."

After thinking for a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "If Shuichi needs any ninjutsu in the future, as long as it's not a forbidden technique, you can teach it to him!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded: "Yes, Father!"

"Go ahead, don't keep them waiting too long."

……

After returning from the changing room, the group went to the yakiniku restaurant owned by the Akimichi family.

After just one bite, Hoshino Shuichi couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Amazing!"

"Brother Chongyan, you're not exaggerating at all!"

Akimichi Shigeiwa laughed loudly: "Of course!"

"Our clan loves to eat the most, and naturally we also love to study food."

"Shuichi, keep it up! When it comes to eating, nobody in the team can beat me!"

Nara Satoshi retorted, "Your clan can store chakra as fat!"

Akimichi Shigeiwa smiled and said, "But we need to digest it first."

As they were talking, Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Chihiro were also chatting and laughing.

Xingxia Xiu glanced over and asked with a smile, "Captain and Chihiro-neechan are a couple, right?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded with a smile.

Chihiro smiled and said, "Shuichi is so outstanding, he must have girls who like him, right?"

Hoshita Shuichi immediately said in a serious tone, "Chihiro-neechan, I'm nine years old!"

Everyone laughed.

They ate and chatted, creating a lively atmosphere.

Before they knew it, an hour had passed. Sarutobi Shinnosuke and the others stopped and looked at Hoshita Shuichi with great surprise.

"Shuichi, your appetite is really huge."

"What an enviable physique!"

After expressing his amazement, Nara Tomo encouraged him, "Go for it! As a newcomer, the responsibility of breaking the Juuwa record rests on your shoulders!"

Chihiro poured tea for Hoshino Shuichi to help him cut through the richness of the food.

Akimichi Shigeiwa wasn't worried at all, and laughed, "Satoshi, Shuichi is strong, but he's too young. There's no way he can beat me!"

Hoshino Hideichi smiled without saying a word, but his eating was anything but slow.

He released the chakra sealed in his abdomen yesterday, and now is the time to replenish it.

Of course, as Akimichi Shigeiwa said before, food cannot be directly refined into chakra; it needs to be digested by the body and become physical strength.

However, since Hoshino Shuichi's physique was improved twice, his digestive ability was naturally also improved.

Furthermore, there is the "Strong and Robust" attribute, which grants a 100% increase in recovery ability.

Physical recovery is also included, and physical recovery is related to the functioning of all the internal organs, including digestive ability.

Therefore, in reality, Hoshino Shuichi has an extremely amazing ability to digest information.

He didn't know if he could compare to Akimichi Shigeiwa, but he would compare them now.

As a result, more and more plates piled up next to the two of them.

The diners in the store gradually gathered around and cheered for Hoshino Shizuka.

Because he is young, he is naturally at a disadvantage.

An hour later, Hoshino Shuichi and Akimichi Shigeiwa stopped at the same time, smiled at each other, and slumped down.

I can't eat anymore!

Clap clap clap!

Loud applause erupted.

"Shuichi, well done!"

"That's impressive. He actually managed to draw with Shigemura. You should know that Shigemura is not weak in the Akimichi clan."

……

Listening to everyone's praise, Hoshino Shuichi, who had been fed a sip of tea by Chihiro, patted his round belly contentedly, then turned his attention to the word tree in his mind.

Just now, another new keyword was triggered.

Entry: Big Eater

Acquisition conditions: Persuade a restaurant to hold a competitive eating contest and win first place in the contest.

Effects: Improves physical fitness by 100%, recovery ability by 100%, and digestion ability by 100%.

Hoshino Hideichi's eyes lit up: three 100%s.

Most importantly, it improves physical fitness.

The other two are also very useful.

Recovery ability goes without saying, and improved digestive ability also helps to speed up recovery.

The faster a soldier's ration pill is digested, the faster one's stamina recovers, and naturally, the faster one's chakra recovers.

"This is good stuff, we need to find a way to get it."

Hoshino Shuichi's appetite was whetted. Seeing that the onlookers had dispersed, he smiled and said, "Brother Chongyan, what do you think about holding a big eater competition that the whole village can participate in?"

Akimichi Shigeiwa's eyes lit up: "A competitive eating contest?"

Xingxia Xiu nodded.

Shinichi Yamanaka laughed and said, "There should be a lot of ninjas from the village participating, it will definitely be very lively."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke and the others nodded in agreement, feeling that Hoshino Shuichi's suggestion was indeed very interesting.

Akimichi Shigeiwa was very interested, but then he scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Shuichi, your suggestion is certainly excellent, but involving the entire village would probably be extremely costly!"

Upon hearing this, Hoshino Hideichi laughed and said, "Of course, you can't use grilled meat like beef as food."

"The Akimichi family must also have some specialty noodles that can be made quickly, right?"

Upon hearing this, Akimichi Shigeiwa immediately smiled and gave a thumbs up.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke laughed, "Looks like we'll be getting free Akimichi clan noodles from now on."

Chihiro smiled and gave Hoshino Shuichi a fist bump as a sign of encouragement: "Shuichi, we'll all cheer you on to win first place in the eating contest!"

Akimichi Shigeiwa immediately retorted, "Chihiro, you're underestimating me!"
