Starting from the roots of Konoha, they were the masterminds behind the scenes.

Chapter 103: Hatake Sakumo's Evaluation! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

Back in the cabin, Hoshino clasped his hands together, and a layer of tailed beast chakra rapidly covered his body, with a tail also sprouting from his rear.

"I have to say, the quality of the tailed beast chakra is really high, it's practically a replica of Sage Mode."

shhhhhh!

Xingxia Xiu's figure flickered as she moved at high speed inside the wooden house.

With the boost from the tailed beast's chakra, his speed increased dramatically.

This is similar to Sage Mode.

Of course, Sage Mode is an all-around amplification of ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu, which the Four-Tails chakra cannot achieve.

"Besides speed and attack power, the Four-Tails' chakra should also significantly enhance Earth Release and Fire Release techniques."

Xingxia Xiu flashed out of the wooden house, pressed her hands on the ground, and with the ground shaking, a stone wall rose from the ground, with a lifelike dragon head carved on it.

Then he used the Vajra Body technique, employing the Four-Tails' chakra, which increased both the speed and intensity of the hardening process.

And fire jutsu...

Xingxia Show won't.

Of the seven nature transformations, he currently lacks mastery of only Fire Release and Lightning Release.

"I can use the power of the Four-Tails to train in Fire Release: Nature Transformation. Once I master Fire Release: Nature Transformation, I can gradually use the Four-Tails' Lava Release, and even synthesize Lava Release myself using the power of the Four-Tails."

Xingxia Xiu pondered to herself.

He actually doesn't like the current Tailed Beast mode.

The boost from the Four-Tails' chakra is not as great as that from Sage Mode, if we don't consider Lava Release.

As he calmed the tailed beast chakra within him, Xingxia Xiu clasped his hands together.

Within the sealed space, around the Four-Tails suppressed by the Ming Shen Gate, vines suddenly grew and wrapped around its body.

"That damned bastard..."

The Four-Tails opened its eyes, feeling the loss of chakra, and couldn't help but curse under its breath before closing its eyes again.

Go ahead and use it; his chakra is inexhaustible anyway.

……

A tremendous force surged forth, and Xingxia Xiu revealed a smile.

This power bank is great!

He just used the tailed beast's chakra directly, just like the other tailed beasts.

But now it's different. He absorbs the tailed beast's chakra through Wood Release. After a transformation, he loses the characteristics of the Four-Tails and simply replenishes his chakra.

His eyes lowered, and a facial mask appeared.

Sage Mode activated!

Xingxia Xiu silently calculated that, in this way, his Sage Mode could be maintained for... about twenty minutes!

"if……"

Hoshino Hide pondered for a moment: "If I become more proficient in Sage Mode and can multitask, creating Sage Chakra while fighting, then the Four-Tails and my chakra can sustain Sage Mode for as long as they can."

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the four tails are not cooperating.

It will take him time to extract the Four-Tails' chakra.

Unlike Naruto in the later stages, who could freely use the Nine-Tails' chakra, in Sage Mode, he would only end Sage Mode when the Nine-Tails' chakra was completely depleted.

However, multitasking can achieve a similar effect.

Of course, Xingxia Xiu could also first extract and store a large amount of Four-Tails chakra, and then create a massive amount of Sage Chakra at once to maintain Sage Mode for a long time.

With the Four-Tails' chakra reserves, an hour wouldn't be a problem.

"Therefore, the Yin Seal is still necessary."

Xingxia Xiu pondered to herself.

Four-tailed is still a bit lacking.

"Um?"

Hoshita Hide turned her head: "Tsunade!"

Tsunade, dressed in armor, strode over.

Xingxia Xiu, having shed her sage mode, stepped forward and asked, "Why are you here?"

He knew that Tsunade had been busy in the medical team because the Four-Tails Jinchuriki had caused considerable casualties to Konoha.

"I heard you captured the Four-Tails and even became its jinchūriki yourself."

Tsunade's expression was serious: "You should know that Jinchuriki are affected by the evil chakra of Tailed Beasts, right?"

"Moreover, once the tailed beast is extracted, the jinchūriki will definitely die."

Xingxia Xiu smiled and nodded: "I know that."

"But Tsunade, don't worry. In Sage Mode, I can already use the Myojinmon sealing technique. Although its effectiveness is far less than that of the First Hokage, it's enough to suppress the Four-Tails."

"As for the evil chakra influence of the tailed beasts, Tsunade, my Wood Release can absorb other people's chakra and convert it into life force."

Tsunade shook her head: "Iwagakure will not give up the Four-Tails."

Hoshino Shizuka said with a relaxed expression, "It was given away by the First Hokage back then. As his successor, it's reasonable for him to take it back now, isn't it?"

"The Four-Tails doesn't belong to Iwagakure; it has belonged to Konoha since ancient times."

Even if we don't start from Hashirama Senju, if we trace back further, Senju's ancestor was Ashura, and Ashura's father was the Sage of Six Paths.

Tailed Beasts were created by the Sage of Six Paths.

So, it's reasonable and logical that the Tailed Beasts belong to Konoha!

Tsunade couldn't help but roll her eyes.

The deed is done, and her coming over was really just to give a reminder.

But clearly, this guy is well aware of it too.

"The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, should be arriving soon. What are your plans?"

Tsunade then asked.

The latest novel is first published here!

Hoshino Hideyuki pondered, "This is indeed a problem."

"It's not difficult to stop him, but it's not easy to take him down."

Tsunade raised an eyebrow: "Hey, aren't you getting a little too cocky?"

"After all, he was the Third Tsuchikage, and he also possessed the only bloodline limit in the ninja world."

Hoshino Shu said seriously, "I've already experienced the Dust Release: Bloodline Limit. It's indeed very powerful."

"However, for me, his release speed is too slow."

"Of course, that's not a problem."

"The problem is, would he fight me to the death for the Four-Tails?"

Onoki is currently in his prime, and apart from his combat experience, all his qualities are at their peak.

If you unleash your full power, the attack range of Dust Release can be extremely large.

However, having obtained the intelligence, Hoshino Hideaki would naturally take precautions.

He was more wary of Uchiha Madara, who was still hiding, than of Onoki.

He's in the limelight, especially since he's mastered Wood Release.

……

"Since you know what's going on, I'm leaving."

Tsunade waved her hand, and without any hesitation, turned and leaped away.

Xingxia Xiu watched them go without trying to stop them.

Now is not the time for romance; he needs time to familiarize himself with the power of the Four-Tails and to continue improving himself.

When the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up.

Xingxia Xiu has grown taller now.

Time flies, and dawn breaks in the blink of an eye.

Although she had only slept for two hours, Xingxia Xiu was full of energy.

After filling his stomach, he was preparing to create a wooden clone to train when Minato Namikaze rushed over: "Shū-senpai, the Third Tsuchikage has arrived!"

Xingxia Xiu perked up and nodded: "I understand."

Immediately, he separated two wooden clones to keep behind, just in case.

"Let's go, try out your Flying Thunder God Technique."

Xingxia Xiu chuckled softly.

This relaxed demeanor eased Minato's tension, and he said apologetically, "I'm not very proficient at using it yet."

Hoshino patted Minato Namikaze on the shoulder: "Take your time, I believe in your abilities."

Minato Namikaze nodded, then placed a hand on Hideaki Hoshino's arm, and the two disappeared from their spot in the next moment.

front.

Minato Namikaze, accompanied by Shu Hoshino, suddenly appeared next to Jiraiya.

Orochimaru and Tsunade were also present, along with Sakumo Hatake, and behind them were a large number of Konoha ninja. Standing at the very front was Homura Mitokado.

On the opposite side, there were also a large number of Iwa ninja, as well as three figures floating in the air, led by the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki.

Looking up at Onoki who was staring at him, Hoshishita Hide smiled and formed hand seals to create three wooden clones.

Then his body stepped into the air.

At this moment, all eyes, on both sides, were fixed on Xingxia Xiu.

As Hatake Sakumo watched Hoshino's retreating figure, he couldn't help but think to himself, "He'll probably become someone like the First Hokage someday!"
