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

Chapter 109 Dialogue with the Nine-Tailed Fox!

At noon on January 10th, Konoha Year 37, Hoshino and her group finally returned to Konoha.

Outside the Hokage Building, Hoshino Hide bowed to Hiruzen Sarutobi and was about to leave when Hiruzen said, "Hide, go see Kushina when you have time. She misses you, her teacher, very much."

Xingxia Xiu paused for a moment, then nodded: "Understood!"

After watching Hiruzen Sarutobi enter the Hokage Building, Hoshino Hide abandoned his plan to go home and instead headed to Kushina Uzumaki's house.

He understood that Hiruzen Sarutobi's words were not just about asking him to go see Kushina Uzumaki, but more importantly, about acknowledging him as Kushina's teacher.

He even hinted that he could, and would become, Kushina Uzumaki's teacher in the future.

"As expected..."

Hoshino took off her mask and bought some fruits that Kushina Uzumaki liked on the way, but she was thinking about something else.

Clearly, it won't be long before he leaves the roots.

The latest that will happen is Kushina Uzumaki's graduation.

But it's more likely that he'll leave the Root organization early to adapt to the life of an ordinary ninja, or rather, a Jonin leading a team.

"Kushina will graduate next year, and I'm afraid I'll break away from Root this year."

Xingxia Xiu thought for a moment: "I need to deepen my influence at the grassroots level during this period."

He had given guidance to Ryo Inuzuka and Ryoma Aburame, and having spent so much time with them, the influence was quite profound.

Unfortunately, Aburame and the others were killed in battle.

It just so happens that Danzang asked him to temporarily oversee the root training when he returned, and then select a few people to be trained in a focused manner.

Lost in thought, he had unknowingly arrived at Kushina Uzumaki's place.

This time, no ANBU ninjas came out to stop them, and Hoshino Hide and the others leaped to the window of the upper floor where Uzumaki Kushina lived.

As you can see, the room is a bit messy, with rolls scattered all over the floor, and Kushina Uzumaki is currently lying on the bed studying something.

Beep!

Xingxia Xiu knocked on the window.

Kushina Uzumaki, who was engrossed in studying the sealing technique, was somewhat puzzled.

The ninjas of the Anbu usually don't bother her.

When Kushina Uzumaki turned around, she was immediately stunned, then overjoyed: "Shu-senpai!"

Although Xingxia Xiu was wearing a mask, she recognized her at a glance, then leaped up and ran to the window to open it.

"You seem pretty serious!"

Xingxia Xiu joked with a smile, then handed over the fruit she had bought.

Kushina Uzumaki smiled shyly at first, then quickly accepted the fruit: "Thank you, senpai."

"I didn't expect you to come, senior!"

Hoshino Hide laughed, "I just came back from the battlefield."

Kushina Uzumaki was deeply moved: "That must have been so hard."

"yes!"

Xingxia Xiu stretched and said, "But I can rest for a while now."

"By the way, how's your Rasengan technique coming along?"

Kushina Uzumaki quickly put the fruit away and said with a grin, "Of course, no problem."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand, and a blue Rasengan condensed in his hand.

Xingxia Xiu nodded slightly, conjuring a spell with one hand with practiced ease.

He then smiled and asked, "What about the nature transformation of Wind Release?"

Kushina Uzumaki replied somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm not very proficient in nature transformation, and I haven't been able to integrate it into the Rasengan yet."

"However, I can already hypnotize the Dream Walker technique that you gave me, senior."

As she spoke, Kushina Uzumaki cautiously peeked outside, then whispered, "Senpai, I secretly hypnotized an Anbu ninja and sneaked out for a stroll."

Xingxia Xiu was startled, but then understood.

Most of the hypnotized ANBU ninjas are in the open; it's likely that when they slipped out, powerful figures like Daiko were still secretly following them.

However, this already shows that Kushina Uzumaki does have some talent for illusion magic.

So Hoshino immediately smiled and praised him, then had Kushina Uzumaki hypnotize him.

Kushina Uzumaki immediately perked up, "Senpai, then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "Go ahead!"

Kushina Uzumaki immediately formed hand seals and began to hypnotize Hoshino Shu.

Then Hoshino blinked, and Kushina Uzumaki closed her eyes and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Swish swish!

Ooko and other ANBU ninjas appeared.

Hoshino Hide laughed and said, "It's nothing, just a backlash from the illusion... Hmm?"

He was proven wrong before he could even finish speaking.

Suddenly, tailed beast chakra appeared on Kushina Uzumaki's body, causing the ANBU ninjas' expressions to change drastically.

"Don't worry, it's just chakra leakage."

Hoshino's eyelids twitched, and he clasped his hands together. Vines sprouted from the wooden floor and bound Kushina Uzumaki. Then, he absorbed the chakra of the emerging tailed beast.

Meanwhile, Hoshino's chakra also entered Kushina's body and entered the sealed space, where he saw the Nine-Tails pinned in the air.

This looks rather pitiful; he can't even move.

In terms of sealing power, it is stronger than the Bagua sealing.

The latest novel is first published here!

Of course, this method also cannot turn the Nine-Tails' leaked chakra into one's own use.

This is a repressive seal.

"It's you..."

Nine-Tailed Fox lowered its head and recognized Xingxia Xiu.

That brat, I actually hypnotized him last time.

Moreover, this bastard possesses a power he despises.

Xingxia Xiu looked at Nine-Tails and smiled, "Nine-Tails, we meet again."

"You don't look too good!"

Nine-Tailed Fox snorted coldly: "Kid, if you're just here to say such sarcastic things, then get lost!"

"Once I get out of here, I'll definitely eat you up!"

He suddenly roared, creating a terrifying storm.

Her clothes fluttered, her hair was pulled straight back, but Xingxia Xiu remained still.

"As expected of the most powerful tailed beast, you are much stronger than the Four-Tails, Five-Tails, and Eight-Tails."

Xingxiaxiu sincerely praised it.

Nine-Tailed Fox snorted softly, about to speak, but then realized what she meant: "You've seen them before?"

"No, you..."

"That four-tailed beast is actually inside you?"

Nine-Tails' expression changed: "Isn't the Four-Tails in Iwagakure?"

Hoshino Hide said calmly, "That is indeed the case, except that I killed the previous Four-Tails Jinchuriki and then sealed the Four-Tails inside my body."

Nine-Tails looked at Xingxia Xiu as if he were an idiot.

Hoshino Hide laughed and said, "Kyuu-Tails, you know I inherited the power of the First Hokage, which allows me to suppress the Four-Tails effectively and also control its power. So, tailed beasts are not dangerous to me."

"Your strength is indeed formidable, but unfortunately, your minds aren't very sharp."

Nine-Tails was furious: "Bastard!"

Xingxia Xiu straightened his hair: "Anger makes you lose your reason."

"Nine-Tails, although my words may not be pleasant, they are all sincere."

If it weren't sealed away, Kurama would definitely give this bastard a good beating.

Xingxia Xiu continued, "Being sealed away is certainly unpleasant, but it's better than dying, isn't it?"

There's a saying among us: "It's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death."

The Nine-Tails sneered, "Don't you know that we tailed beasts can't die and can be resurrected?"

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "Of course I know."

"But what if you became part of the Ten-Tails?"

Nine-Tails froze, staring at Hoshino, somewhat incredulous: "You... how do you know about Ten-Tails?"

Xingxia Xiu calmly said, "I know far more than you think."

"For example, your name is Kurama!"
