Naruto: Who made him a ninja

Chapter 155 Xiuze's Seeking the Dao Jade

The rain poured down, and the night in the land of rain was exceptionally cold.

Inside an underground laboratory, Orochimaru was organizing his equipment, but he soon stopped and raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, you've arrived. I thought you weren't planning on showing up."

"You've got it wrong. It's not that I don't want to get involved, it's that Obito Uchiha doesn't want me to get involved."

The ground trembled slightly, and a pitcher plant slowly emerged—clearly, this was the ultimate creature!

He looked at Orochimaru with half his face blackened, then shook his head and spoke calmly.

"After all, he felt he could control everything, and he felt he no longer needed to listen to any of my advice."

This is normal, though, because I am merely Madara Uchiha's consciousness, but not the real Madara Uchiha.

Black Zetsu's voice was calm, but he was very unhappy inside. Obito Uchiha had really done a lot of things behind his back!

Although this was not unexpected, and he had never trusted Obito Uchiha, Black Zetsu was really annoyed this time.

Attacking Konoha is not a strange thing; Obito Uchiha has done it before. But this guy actually gave the White Zetsu to Orochimaru behind my back?

Perhaps white powder isn't important to them, but it has a completely different effect on others.

In particular, the power of White Zetsu is based on Hashirama Senju!

Giving this thing to Orochimaru so that he could use the Impure World Reincarnation to summon Hashirama Senju was something that Black Zetsu really couldn't handle.

Moreover, he was full of speculation about Shihara Hidezawa and that mysterious Uchiha, and he also had to consider his future.

Because of Obito's 'betrayal', he also decisively chose to 'jump out of the car'!

Anyway, he knows Madara Uchiha quite well, and he has accumulated enough knowledge over the past thousand years. It would be very fitting for him to pretend to be Madara's consciousness.

"Perhaps, this is just a fledgling eagle wanting to spread its wings."

Orochimaru didn't particularly care what Black Zetsu said. He stuck out his tongue, licked his lips, and chuckled hoarsely.

"After all, he possesses so much power, and what you're about to do is quite extraordinary."

"Perhaps."

Black Zetsu shook his head before speaking calmly.

"However, you still failed this time, and you may even face more trouble. Shihara Hidezawa and his group are not simple people."

This guy is Hashirama Senju, but he's not him either, and he's far more troublesome and difficult to deal with than Hashirama Senju.

"Yeah?"

Orochimaru tilted his head, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly spoke.

"It seems there are still many secrets hidden here, secrets I long to learn more about, but before that, I have a question."

"Is it about the disappearances of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju?"

Black Zetsu was clearly prepared. Although he did not appear in that battle, he watched from afar and thus had some understanding of everything.

He himself could not forget everything that Shihara Hidezawa and that mysterious Uchiha had created together; that power truly astonished him.

Moreover, seeing that scene almost completely confirmed his guess!

There's just one thing he still can't figure out: why is Shihara Hidezawa so different?

"That's Yin-Yang Escape. I guess you've felt that power too. It's unstoppable and incomparable. It's a power that can create life and death!"

Although I don't know why this guy obtained such power, it was this power that caused Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju to collapse.

Even those resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation technique cannot withstand such power; they have now truly "returned to death."

"Returning to Death?"

Orochimaru frowned slightly upon hearing Black Zetsu's explanation.

Impure World Reincarnation is a transformation from death to life. Of course, the essence of this technique is actually a combination of death and spirit summoning.

Hidezawa forcibly rewrote the definition of "life" in "spirit communication," returning it to the most essential "death," a result that even Orochimaru had not anticipated.

Even though every technique has its limits, and the Impure World Reincarnation is no exception, the fact that it could be done to the extent that Hideaki did is truly unbelievable to him.

Or perhaps the power of Yin-Yang Release is simply too incredible to be able to achieve such a level?

"Is there a way to break Yin-Yang Release? Can Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju be summoned again?"

Orochimaru pondered for a long time before frowning and asking.

"Also, you said Shihara Hidezawa is unusual. Does that mean you know his secret?"

"There is only one way to deal with Yin-Yang Release: you must also possess Yin-Yang Release."

Black Zetsu wanted Orochimaru to ask questions so that he could say everything he wanted to say at once!

Of course, he wasn't worried about Orochimaru finding out whether it was true or false.

Information about Yin-Yang Escape is extremely scarce in this world, let alone the Bloodline Limit, which is virtually unknown to anyone!

Black Zetsu could say whatever he wanted, because he believed no one would answer Orochimaru's questions.

"Yin-Yang Release is not simply a fusion of Yin and Yang Release, but rather a fusion of two completely contrasting powers, much like a bloodline limit."

The destructive power and might of such a force are unimaginable to ordinary people, which is why Shihara Hidezawa, in conjunction with that mysterious Uchiha, was able to break through the Impure World Reincarnation.

However, although the Impure World Reincarnation has been broken, there is still a chance to summon it again. But I advise you to prepare as soon as possible, after all…

Will Konoha get there first?

Orochimaru nodded knowingly. Since he had summoned these two, Konoha would definitely take it seriously.

If Konoha seizes the opportunity during this gap, it will be extremely disadvantageous for them!

"Yes, not just these two, I advise you to prepare backups of the other villages' images as soon as possible."

Black Zetsu nodded directly; his considerations were extremely thorough.

"It's hard to say what Konoha will do in the future, so it's always good to be prepared. This time, Hashirama Senju's power wasn't fully utilized."

You never witnessed his full power. Just as Shihara Hidezawa said, he couldn't even use the True Several Thousand Hands technique, which is probably why you failed.

"True Thousand Hands."

Recalling that colossal Buddha, a thousand meters tall and blotting out the sky, even Orochimaru couldn't help but lick his lips at this moment.

That power was also deeply ingrained in his heart, something he desperately longed for.

"That's right, the True Several Thousand Hands, that is the true peak power of Hashirama Senju."

Black Zetsu nodded confidently, then changed the subject.

"As for their extraordinary nature, I don't really want to say much. You should read about the power of the Uchiha and Senju yourself."

You might find that every now and then, two extremely unusual characters emerge from these two families.

These two individuals would incite their respective families to fight against each other and lead the development of their entire families, which is why these two families have remained powerful for thousands of years.

"So, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha were like that?"

Orochimaru's eyes flickered slightly. He didn't know if it was true, but he had heard the legends of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha since he was a child.

In addition, the teamwork between Shihara Hidezawa and that mysterious Uchiha seemed to be stronger than expected!

Actually, it wasn't just him who was feeling emotional; Black Zetsu was also feeling numb at that moment.

He was absolutely certain that these two were the new generation of Indra and Asura, especially this generation of Asura, who was terrifyingly strong!

He did a lot over the course of a thousand years, such as turning the Tailed Beasts, which originally belonged to Ashura, into weapons controlled by Indra.

He thought this would enhance Indra's power, but then Hashirama Senju appeared.

This guy doesn't rely on the combination of Yang Release and the Tailed Beast; he only uses the power of Yang Release to transform himself, to the point that he can beat Indra and the Tailed Beast!

This was already unbelievable enough, but this time, Shihara Hidezawa, this Ashura, went even further.

Not only did "Reversed Heavenly Gang" preemptively reincarnate to become the eldest brother, but this guy also seems to have nurtured Yin-Yang Escape through his own power!

Does this even resemble an Asura?

In particular, the situation of Indra and Asura is even more special.

Indra.

She was reincarnated as a woman, and her entire family was wiped out by Itachi Uchiha and Obito!

The crucial point is that Xiuzawa, this Asura, saved the person, which is contrary to the character of Indra and his group.

"It seems like these two are destined to be inseparable this generation!"

The thought of all the good things Obito had done made Black Zetsu feel completely numb.

He had seen everything over the course of a thousand years, but he had never seen a bastard like Obito who was more trouble than he was worth!

"You mean, Shihara Hidezawa and that Uchiha who cooperated with him were like that?"

After pondering for a moment, Orochimaru suddenly asked.

"Then, may I ask, could the person you speak of who can counter Yin-Yang Escape be you?"

"It's me, but it's not me either."

Even though Black Zetsu was extremely agitated, he maintained his composure.

"Madara Uchiha was able to do it because he had completed the integration of Yin-Yang Release before his death, after all, he had obtained the power of Hashirama Senju."

I don't know exactly what happened to Shihara Hidezawa; perhaps he obtained the power of Yin Release through some means.

This power allowed him to do what Madara Uchiha had done, in addition to the unique nature of these two individuals.

Only two people from the previous generation, just like them, could defeat them!

He truly went to great lengths to revive Madara Uchiha and to bring his mother back to life through Madara.

Since Obito Uchiha is unreliable and might even cause more trouble, he has no choice but to take matters into his own hands!

Fortunately, he could see that Orochimaru was an extremely ambitious guy.

His thirst for unknown power is something Black Zetsu can exploit.

"So, Konoha has decided to do everything in its power to help me?"

The faint sunlight fell on the earth, as if to sweep away all the gloom of yesterday.

Inside an office in the Konoha Hokage Building, Yekura sat quietly watching Hidezawa.

"Don't make that face. Shouldn't you have been mentally prepared for this already?"

Xiuze crossed his arms and smiled broadly, clearly in an exceptionally good mood!

"Actually, I've always felt that you are the most suitable person to become the Kazekage, and Rasa himself has also done us a great favor."

Whether it was his attempt to push you out to Kirigakure or our subsequent series of collaborations, they have all been continuously enhancing your prestige in Sunagakure.

Besides, weren't Ebizo and Chiyo pushing you along the same path? Now that Rasa is dead, this is the perfect opportunity!

Luo Sha died.

Konoha did not hide this from anyone; in fact, it was announced directly to all the ninjas in Konoha.

Whether it's Iwagakure, Kumogakure, or the ninjas from the smaller countries who stayed behind, even the ninjas from Sunagakure received the news!

Even after learning the truth, these people showed only a slight look of shock, and no other emotions.

After all, in yesterday's battle, everyone could see that sky-covering figure and feel that overwhelming "majestic divine power".

It would be most strange if Rasa didn't die in the face of such power!

It can be said that although his death caused a slight tremor within Konoha, it did not cause any unnecessary trouble.

"Sigh, I never expected the Kazekage to end up like this."

Ye Cang remained silent for a long while before she smiled and sighed.

"You know what? I've always hated him, especially after I found out I was betrayed."

But I can't deny that he's a good Kazekage; at least he's always been working hard for the village.

Over the years, Elders Ebizo and Chiyo have taught me a great deal, and I never imagined that such a heavy responsibility would now fall on my shoulders.

Yekura had actually been prepared for this, otherwise she wouldn't have said those things to Maki.

It's one thing to say it, but when it actually happens, everyone will feel a bit emotional.

Xiuze seemed to understand as well, and he gently shook his head and smiled at Yecang.

"Actually, you don't need to worry at all, and there's something I think you should look at and consider more carefully."

"Oh?"

Yekura blinked, curious about what Hidezawa would say, and Hidezawa didn't keep her in suspense.

"Luo Sha was never a good Wind Shadow; to put it more bluntly, he was probably only after his own interests."

Even Master Yuan knew just how terrible he was as the Wind Shadow, and Master Yuan also looked down on him.

Let me ask you a question: Why do you think the Third Shinobi World War broke out?

"The Third Shinobi World War?"

Ye Cang had no idea about Yuan Shi's "face-to-face output," but she was willing to follow Xiu Ze's line of thinking.

"I remember, he was trying to find the Third Hokage."

"They came all the way to Konoha to find the Third Hokage?"

A playful look appeared on Xiuze's face. He gently shook his head and continued.

"Fifth Generation Kazekage, please broaden your thinking and look at things from a higher perspective, especially what we have done over the years."

"Think about how difficult it would be for you to succeed him as the Fourth Kazekage after you go back. Consider his situation again, and perhaps you'll have a new understanding."

"My situation, and his situation?"

Ye Cang tilted her head; she was quickly drawn into this line of thinking by Xiu Ze.

As she continued to reflect, and considering everything Xiuze had done for her and the reputation she had built up, she suddenly realized something!

"You mean he deliberately started the Third Shinobi World War to solidify his own position?"

"I don't know, but isn't this a way of thinking?"

Xiuze shrugged. He didn't know what Luosha was thinking, but since the person was dead, he could say whatever he wanted.

Are you suggesting he can use the Impure World Reincarnation technique to bring the dead back to life and confront them?

"After all, his position was unstable at the time, and he needed to divert attention from the conflict. The best way to unite everyone was through war, and I can't think of any other way."

Moreover, the Second Shinobi World War had just ended not long ago. Konoha had fought a fierce battle and suffered heavy losses. Hatake Sakumo, who posed the greatest threat to Sunagakure, had also committed suicide.

So, it's not impossible that he might want to take a gamble, hoping that success would solidify his position and allow him to acquire large tracts of land for Sunagakure.

Even if he fails, he can still reduce some of the negative comments directed at him, such as...

"Should we send those who don't support him to the battlefield?"

There was no need for Hidezawa to elaborate; Yekura, with a cold expression, already filled in the gaps in Hidezawa's statement.

Who knows?

Xiuze shrugged, thought for a moment, and then suddenly spoke.

"This is what you think, it has nothing to do with me, it has absolutely nothing to do with me."

Just a friendly reminder, you shouldn't say these things, as they're not good for unity.

Especially now that you're about to become a Wind Shadow, you need to pay even more attention to these issues.

"."

Upon hearing Xiuze's words, Yecang fell silent.

This guy is still just as awful as ever, without changing at all.

"You know I'm about to become the Wind Shadow, you should at least show me the respect I deserve, you bastard."

After a long while, Ye Cang finally couldn't help but make a weak and helpless remark.

"I've always respected you."

Xiuze blinked, then spread his hands and offered an explanation.

"I feel especially sincere towards you; at least I haven't lied to you much, have I?"

"Please, I'm begging you, just don't use the word 'sincerity' with me anymore."

Ye Cang was speechless, especially after hearing Xiu Ze's words. She didn't know whether to be angry or amused.

But in any case, her mood seems to have improved a lot now, and she no longer seems to be carrying a burden in her heart like before.

Turning her head, she looked out the window, knowing that it might not be long before she left Konoha.

Having spent several years in Konoha, she had gradually become familiar with the living environment there, and the thought of going back filled her with some emotion.

"Time flies, several years have passed in the blink of an eye."

"Yes, time really flies."

Xiuze nodded in agreement, and looking at the bustling crowd outside the window, he smiled and said.

"However, Konoha will help you a lot in the future, and maybe Sunagakure will become as good as Konoha in the future."

And you can rest assured, as long as I'm in Konoha, you can come anytime, after all, we're friends.

"Friends?"

Ye Cang found it somewhat amusing, and after looking Xiuze up and down, he teased her.

"Your friend is really unreliable and makes me uneasy."

"Please, listen to the voices down there. Everyone knows I'm a reliable ninja."

Xiuze tilted his head helplessly. He felt that Yecang had a deep misunderstanding of him, but he was too lazy to dwell on it.

"Also, as a friend, let me remind you that being a Shadow doesn't require too much trouble, because all you have to do is one thing: divide the cake properly."

Dividing the cake properly is more important than anything else, and subordinates need to feel involved in many things. Furthermore, as an executive, your energy is limited, and you can't be good at everything.

"So, should we let our subordinates do what they do best?"

Yecang turned to look at the vampire, seemingly understanding his meaning.

"That's quite interesting. Aren't you afraid of being sidelined by your subordinates by doing this?"

"If you distribute the benefits properly and only focus on the big picture, there won't be any problems."

Xiuze shook his head, then smiled and continued.

"Of course, it is necessary to place our own people in key positions, but cultivating talent is not something that can be done overnight. We should first use the people who are capable."

After all, you've just taken over, and the pie is only so big. You can take your time and gradually grow the pie bigger, which is good for everyone.

Listen to Ebizo and Chiyo's suggestions. Although they are old, they are not dead yet, and they can do things that are inconvenient for them to do.

Especially regarding personnel transfers, you can publicly state that it was their suggestion, and you simply adopted their ideas, understand?

"."

Is he teaching himself to be a shadow?

Ye Cang's expression was somewhat strange, but she did not refute it; these things were also very meaningful to her.

However, what Xiuze said was somewhat outrageous. Was he trying to make those two take the blame?

But thinking about it carefully, these two probably wouldn't object. Besides, judging from Xiuze's words, it seems that he, as the shadow, can indeed have a much easier time.

"Is telling me these things considered a form of sincerity?"

Suddenly, Yecang looked at Xiuzawa with amusement and asked, but Xiuzawa gave him a strange look.

"Didn't you just tell me not to use the word 'sincerity'? But if you insist on saying it that way, then you're not wrong."

The latest novel is first published here!

I sincerely hope you're doing well. After all, I don't know many other people, but I know you very well.

"It would be best if you knew each other quite well."

"They're pretty much the same."

Xiuze chuckled, then stood up and stretched slightly.

After glancing down, Xiuze tilted his head and looked back at Yecang.

"If nothing unexpected happens, Konoha will soon invite you to a meeting, and Konoha will regard you as the new Kazekage."

Get ready, this time Sunagakure will have to pay compensation, but you will also gain a lot in return.

Keep up the good work! I'm really looking forward to having a Kazekage as a friend.

"A friend of the Wind Shadow?"

Ye Cang was silent for a moment after hearing these words, but then she suddenly laughed.

"Thank you then. I also hope our friendship can last, even though you've always been quite unreliable."

"Sorry, but I really think I'm reliable." Xiuze rolled her eyes. "Alright, I won't bother you anymore. I'm leaving now."

"You're leaving so soon? I thought you were planning to stay and spend more time with me, your friend."

Yekura blinked, but Hidezawa shook his head and smiled.

"I have other things to take care of; I might want to relax, but that's not allowed."

At this point, Xiuze paused for a moment, the scene from last night involuntarily flashing through his mind.

"Why are you here?"

The moonlight was hazy, and Xiuze sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the light emanating from his pajamas.

Although he knew that Guang had sneaked over several times, he was always in Xiyan's room at the time. He never expected to be caught red-handed this time.

Under the moonlight, the light from her pajamas seemed particularly cold, and her flowing black hair swayed in the wind.

She ignored Xiuze's words, simply closed the door gently, and walked straight over.

"Can't I come?"

She slowly sat down, side by side with Xiuze, put her feet on the edge of the bed, hugged her knees with her hands, tilted her head and asked in confusion.

"Or do you not want to see me come?"

"."

Xiuze was speechless. Didn't he want to?

To be honest, he really wanted to.

As a seasoned drinker, he never hid his determination to quit drinking.

But shouldn't he be the one to take the initiative in this kind of thing?

How come he became the passive party when he encountered Guang?

"What are you thinking about?"

Reaching out, Xiuze gently embraced Guang, having already put the matter of watching the Storm Release behind him.

He'll always have time to do it, but now is clearly not the time to think about those things.

"I have never denied that I am not a good person, nor can I be considered a good person. It's just that I'm curious about one thing: how do you see me?"

What do you think of me?

Guang naturally rested her head on Xiuze's shoulder, her dark pupils looking at the man in front of her, and then she gently closed her eyes.

"Actually, at first I thought you were a real jerk."

"."

Xiuze pursed his lips, couldn't help but feel a little genuine?

"He has a sharp tongue, leaves no room for maneuver in his actions, and is full of cunning schemes."

Guang had no idea what Xiuze was thinking. She spoke slowly with her eyes closed.

"Tsunade even said in private, 'Which bastard made you a ninja? How could he be so unreliable?'"

"You think so too?"

"No, apart from not having as many ulterior motives, I'm very similar to you."

However, to Xiuze's surprise, Guang opened his eyes and said very seriously.

"During battles, I enjoy taunting others, and once I strike, I rarely hold back."

Isn't this a characteristic of your Uchiha clan?

"And no matter how bad you are, you've already left a mark on my heart."

Suddenly, a smile appeared on Guang's face, a smile that was so serene under the moonlight.

"I will never forget that you rescued me, and I will never forget that you helped me find my way forward when I was most lost."

You helped me regain my memories, you made me realize who I am, and you were the one who firmly believed I was a kind person when I was at my most confused.

You saved me, understood me, and knew me; I will never forget any of these qualities.

Therefore, no matter how awful you are, you might still be the person I remember most vividly.

Is it bad?

Xiuze listened to Guang's words and didn't know what to say for a moment.

He had a strange feeling that this description sounded so much like the description of a "white moonlight" (a romantic ideal).

Can a man truly be the white moonlight?

Or is it a terrible white moonlight?

"Besides, didn't you say that?"

As Xiuze pondered, Guang reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, her face slowly drawing closer, and even her breathing became clear at that moment.

"Everything you've done is enough for me to repay you with my body, so..."

Xiuze stared blankly at Guang, pondered for a moment, and then said softly.

"What if I said I was joking?"

"I'd be willing too."

Guang shook her head; her gaze was so unfocused in the moonlight.

"Who else can enter my heart?"

At this point, Guangyi hugged Xiuze without hesitation, pressing her face tightly against his.

Under the moonlight, their figures overlapped.

Slowly, the two fell onto the bed, and rustling sounds gradually filled the room.

With the fluctuations of the Flying Thunder God technique, Xiuze returned home the next moment.

As time goes by, Hidezawa can easily imagine what Konoha has become.

Especially since only one day has passed, the discussions about him in Konoha are probably the loudest now!

After all, his performance in this battle was truly outstanding; the power he used to end everything almost single-handedly was truly astonishing.

Even with the help of light, Konoha probably won't promote it much.

On one hand, Hikaru himself had no interest in such things, and on the other hand, it was quite simple: Hikaru was Hidezawa's personal guard.

The two are practically bound together, so naturally they won't be discussed separately.

This has led to Shusawa becoming the top star in Konoha, and it would be perfectly normal for him to become the top star in the entire ninja world in a few days.

There are even people starting to discuss the possibility of him becoming Hokage!

Ninjas admire strength. Although a Kage needs to possess many qualities, the problem is that in everyone's mind, a Kage should be the strongest ninja!

The strength that Shusawa displayed cannot be fully described by a single Kage.

"I'd better not compete with Tsunade for attention, to avoid trouble."

Xiuze shook his head; he didn't want to get involved in such matters too much.

Tsunade and Yugao both stayed out all night, and Shizune didn't come back last night either, while Karin left early this morning.

No one knew what they were going to do, but after pondering for a moment, Xiuze quickly made a decision.

"I'm slacking off this morning. I'll check on things this afternoon if needed!"

As a working person, Xiuze doesn't empathize with his boss.

"Sigh, I guess I'm kind of a vice president or something?"

Suddenly, Xiuze realized something was wrong. He was the Hokage's assistant; he should be a "high-ranking executive" in the company.

"Then I should be slacking off even more! So many subordinates aren't doing their jobs, are you expecting me to do them? Are you kidding me!"

With this in mind, Xiuze felt even more justified in slacking off, especially since he still had some things to take care of!

"Are you still resting? You must be exhausted."

After briefly assessing the situation in his room and discovering that the lights were still off, a wicked smile appeared on his face.

His attention then turned to his reward.

"Storm Release, and Wood Release."

Wood Release isn't really a major concern, as his current level is sufficient for its use. However, even at his peak, Hashirama Senju was still quite interested in the techniques for using Wood Release.

The use of skills is what distinguishes ninjas from those Otsutsuki, and it is also the key to ninjas being able to defeat stronger opponents!

Even if Shuzawa doesn't know whether he's "transformed into Otsutsuki" or "transformed into the Divine Tree," it's all about bloodline transformation and improvement.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will inevitably be able to stand at the same level as those Otsutsuki in the future, and the way to widen the gap will naturally be through the application of skills!

"But I should still take a good look at Storm Release; after all, it's the key I've been lacking all along."

Xiuze has basically acquired all of his other attributes, and has even reached a sufficient level in them.

Wood Release has Water Release, Earth Release, and Yang Release; Scorch Release has Fire Release and Wind Release; Yin-Yang Release has also been fused together, and only Storm Release, which has the attribute of Lightning Release, is missing!

The acquisition of Storm Release is equivalent to directly filling the void left by Shusawa!

"So."

With that in mind, Xiuze sat down in the living room and quickly began to conjure up the rewards in his mind.

[Using Storm Release: Enlightenment (Darui)]

As the system prompted him, a strange image flashed through Xiuze's mind in an instant.

The fusion of Storm Release is an interweaving of water and lightning, a product of the combination of two forces. This power combination not only makes Lightning Release more controllable.

At the same time, it can also make the Water Release technique more powerful than ever before!

It can be said that Storm Release is a technique that combines the advantages of two different escape techniques, resulting in a more powerful technique!

"No wonder, even when Madara Uchiha activated Six Paths Sage Mode, he still tried to use Storm Release."

After the information about the Storm Release technique was slowly processed in Xiuze's mind, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

Storm Release is a technique that combines the high speed and high destructiveness of Lightning Release with the high compression and high controllability of Water Release.

Combined with the use of Sage Mode, it's no wonder that he was able to shatter even the black rods formed by Naruto's Yin-Yang Release.

In terms of power, Storm Release is probably in the top tier among bloodline limits!

Of course, it can't compare to Dust Release, but Dust Release is a bloodline elimination technique.

"However, this ability is not difficult for me, especially..."

[Due to the host's strong abilities and highly developed control over chakra]

[Gained new ability: Storm Release]

Current Level: LV6

When Xiuzawa tried to fuse the Storm Release according to the 'formula' in his mind, he immediately received a system notification in his mind, as expected!

Xiuze didn't find this situation strange, after all, his bloodline had already undergone mutation and he was even close to 'biological ascension'.

What made him even happier was that, even though it was only his first time learning this technique, his level had already reached LV6!

"Level 6 corresponds to Jonin. Back then, I worked my butt off constantly, adding points until I reached that level. Now..."

Now it's just a thought, a simple integration of familiarity, and the difference makes him laugh at himself.

"Well then, let's start leveling up now. There's something I've been saving up for a long time."

Xiuze clenched his fist slightly. He hadn't forgotten that he had gotten the formula for the Truth-Seeking Ball by taking advantage of Black Zetsu!

Because of the Lightning Release technique, he had been unable to perform it until now, but this time he was determined to give it a try no matter what.

"Is it dawn yet?"

Lying in bed, Guang opened his eyes.

The morning sun shone through the window and into the room, while birds chirped incessantly in the branches.

Everything seemed so peaceful, but Guang didn't seem to want to get up at all. Instead, he turned over, hugged the blanket, and lay quietly on the bed.

"So, this is what he and Xiyan were like."

Guang murmured something, recalling everything from last night. She wasn't shy, nor did she feel unnatural at all.

She had already made her decision, so naturally she couldn't possibly have any regrets; in fact, she felt pretty good about it.

just

"Isn't this guy tired?"

She frowned slightly, silently muttering to herself, and the thought of what happened last night made her feel uneasy.

Last night, after Xiuze stopped, they hugged tightly and rested for a while.

He ran his fingers through his hair, pondered for a moment, and nodded almost imperceptibly.

"No problem, I owe you anyway."

"You owe me?"

This remark seemed to displease Xiuze, but he didn't say anything more.

Just an hour later, after they had rested for a while, Xiuze spoke again.

"Lord Guang, isn't it time to pay off your debts?"

"Paying off debts...?"

"You said you owe me."

"."

After several attempts, Guang was exhausted, and she finally understood.

"That bastard did it on purpose!"

Guang guessed that Xiuze probably didn't like her so-called debt repayment, so she deliberately did this.

Having figured this out, Guang was somewhat amused and exasperated, but she remembered it nonetheless.

Perhaps she and Xiuze shouldn't talk about debts and repayments. Joking around is fine, but...

"Is it inconvenient to continue saying this now?"

Thinking of this, Guang slowly sat up, but after a moment she frowned because she found that her legs were a little weak.

"What an idiot! Why can't he just say things clearly instead of doing this?"

She cursed inwardly, but quickly adapted, and she also knew that if it weren't for the fact that she was a ninja...

At the same time, there are some special forces within her body helping her, so it's not just a matter of her legs being weak anymore.

"Alright, let's get ready. This guy seems to have other things to do today."

Guang muttered to himself as he casually put on his pajamas and went to wash up.

And then at this very moment

"Um?"

Guang suddenly stopped in her tracks, clearly sensing a peculiar power erupting within the room.

"This power... seems to belong to Xiuze?"

This power is somewhat complex; although it contains Xiuze's aura, it is also vastly different.

This strange feeling made Guang stop in her tracks, and then she turned around and ran downstairs.

"Could something be wrong? This aura is very different from before."

Frowning, Guang quickened her pace and soon arrived in the living room, where she froze in shock!

At this moment, Xiuze was bathed in a platinum-gold luster, and a strange power was spreading continuously across his body.

His aura was so strong, yet so mysterious and unfamiliar.

Most importantly, behind him were three black spheres that looked ordinary yet seemed to condense infinite power.

It circled around him, floating quietly behind him.

I feel really weak today. The weather suddenly changed drastically; I was wearing short sleeves yesterday, but today I have to wear a jacket. I ended up catching a cold. Everyone, please pay attention to weather changes and avoid catching a cold.
