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

Nine-Tailed Fox's pupils contracted sharply.

How does this kid know so much?

Xingxia Xiu pretended to be profound and said, "Although some things are buried in the long river of history, there are still some clues."

"I'm not the only one who knows the secret of the Ten-Tails."

"Ku-Tails, you haven't forgotten the person who used the Sharingan to control you back then, have you?"

The Nine-Tails bared its fangs: "Uchiha Madara!"

Hoshino Hide added, "It is said that the Sage of Six Paths said something before he died: 'You nine tailed beasts will eventually reunite.'"

How do you interpret this sentence?

Nine-Tails' mind wavered when asked the question.

Xingxia Xiu said, "You'd better figure out who your enemies are and who your friends are, or you'll suffer a terrible fate."

Nine-Tails snapped out of her daze and snorted coldly, "You mean to say you're a friend?"

Xingxia Xiu chuckled: "No, I'm not your friend."

Nine-Tails was a little confused. Wasn't this guy saying all this just to make her cooperate obediently?

Xingxia Xiu said, "Your power is very special; you can sense good and evil."

"I am very interested in your power; that shouldn't lie to you."

Nine-Tailed Fox snorted: "Of course I know that."

"You brat, you're just as evil as Madara Uchiha."

Hoshita Hide smiled: "So, you'd better get along well with your Jinchūriki, otherwise..."

"You should know about the power of human bonds, right?"

"For Kushina's sake, I won't do anything to you."

"But without Kushina, I will seal you inside my body and extract your chakra."

"My Wood Release technique may not be as good as the First Hokage's, but it still has its unique aspects."

Nine-Tails looked at Hoshino, somewhat annoyed, but remained silent.

He had witnessed this brat's Wood Release technique before.

Now he could sense that this guy... was indeed different.

Xingxia Xiu said nothing more and disappeared.

Nine-Tailed Fox is not easily fooled.

According to the original trajectory, this guy only joined forces with Naruto at the very end.

With the Nine-Tails inside Kushina Uzumaki, there's nothing more that Shu Hoshino can do.

Moreover, it can't fool the Nine-Tailed Fox.

This guy can sense good and evil.

inside the room.

Seeing that Kushina had returned to normal, the Anbu ninjas breathed a sigh of relief and then disappeared.

Soon, Kushina Uzumaki woke up in a daze.

Hoshino Hide smiled and said, "There has been progress, but we still need to work harder."

Kushina Uzumaki scratched her head: "Senpai, was I hit by a genjutsu reflection?"

Xingxia Xiu nodded and smiled, "Come on, I'm free today, feel free to ask me any questions."

Kushina Uzumaki's eyes lit up, and she stood up, saying, "My sealing techniques have improved a lot recently, and I can help you, senior."

So the two of them huddled together, eating fruit and helping each other understand each other's questions.

The Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had just finished his work, couldn't resist peeking and saw this harmonious scene.

It was strange, but it was also what he had hoped for.

Being a Jinchūriki is not easy, especially since the Nine-Tails' power is too great, and Kushina Uzumaki, as a Jinchūriki, is still too young, unlike Mito Uzumaki in the past.

When Mito Uzumaki became a Jinchūriki, she was already very strong, and her sealing techniques were enough to suppress the Nine-Tails.

Kushina Uzumaki is no good; without a spiritual anchor, she is easily corrupted by the Nine-Tails' powerful evil chakra and goes berserk.

This is not a problem that can be solved simply by sealing techniques.

Especially when it is necessary for a Jinchūriki to become a powerful fighting force, or rather, a weapon.

……

After having dinner with Kushina Uzumaki, Hoshino returned home, washed up, and then went to Tsunade's house.

With Tsunade not home, Nawaki ate a bucket of instant noodles and then fell asleep right there, covered in dirt.

Hoshino shook his head and went over to wake Nawaki up.

Nawaki woke up groggily and, upon seeing Hoshino Hide, muttered, "Brother Hide, I dreamt of you again."

Xingxia Xiu chuckled and snapped his fingers.

"Ouch!"

Nawaki, rubbing his forehead, snapped back to reality. Seeing Hoshino Hideaki, he exclaimed with delight, "Hideaki-nii, you're really back!"

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "Are you full?"

Rope Tree first nodded, then shook his head, and grinned foolishly.

Xingxia Xiu laughed and said, "Go take a shower, and I'll treat you to something delicious."

Rope Tree leaped to his feet: "Almost done."

Five minutes later, Nawaki, dressed in new clothes, followed Hoshino out the door: "Brother Hide, is the war over?"

"How is my sister?"

The rope tree chattered incessantly along the way, asking questions incessantly.

Xingxia Xiu answered patiently.

When they arrived at the ramen restaurant, Nawaki finally stopped.

After a hearty meal, the two strolled down the street. Rope Tree, hands behind his head and with his belly bulging, laughed, "Brother Xiu, Sister has agreed to let me graduate early this year!"

"Haha, soon I'll be a full-fledged ninja."

Hoshino glanced at Nawaki and said calmly, "Becoming a qualified genin is not easy."

Rope Tree said smugly, "Passing the test is no problem at all."

"Brother Xiu, I've mastered an A-rank ninjutsu like the Rasengan!"

"I have no problem with the Three Body Techniques and the written exam. I'm going to be the Hokage!"

Thinking of Nawaki's untimely death, Hoshino stopped and said seriously, "This is far from enough."

"not enough?"

The latest novel is first published here!

Rope Tree scratched his head: "But these are the graduation assessments."

Hoshino Hide shook his head: "That's just graduation, it means you're qualified to become a genin, but a qualified genin is more than that."

"Come with me."

As he spoke, he leaped into the air, and Rope Tree quickly followed suit.

Soon the two were far from the core area of ​​Konoha and entered the forest.

Hoshino led Rope Tree to a training ground at the root, where many different kinds of traps were set up.

Seeing Nawaki's excitement, Hoshino Hide felt it was necessary to teach him a lesson first.

Whether it will work or not, we'll just do our best.

Ultimately, they were in a master-disciple relationship.

Stopping in his tracks, Hoshino pointed to the woods ahead and said, "This is one of Root's training grounds."

"Create a clone."

Rope Tree was very excited: "Brother Xiu, are you going to train me?"

Xingxia Xiu nodded.

Rope Tree immediately formed a hand seal and created a clone, a very ordinary clone with no physical form and no combat power.

Xingxia Xiu said, "Let's begin the simulation now."

You are now on the battlefield.

"This grove of trees is the only way through."

"Try it with your clone."

"Just a heads up, there are a lot of traps inside."

"Schools also teach how to set traps and how to identify them, right?"

Rope Tree nodded, patted his chest, and laughed, "Brother Xiu, don't worry, I got full marks on all of these."

Xingxia Xiu smiled and said, "Then I'll wait and see."

"If you can successfully cross this forest, I will teach you another S-rank ninjutsu."

Rope Tree's eyes lit up, and its clone immediately rushed into the forest.

Xingxia Xiu shook his head secretly as he watched.

Sure enough, a short while later, accompanied by an explosion, Rope Tree's clone was destroyed.

Rope Tree, standing to the side, was stunned by the smile.

Xingxia Xiu said seriously, "If this were a battlefield, and if you weren't a clone, you would already be dead."

"On a real battlefield, no one will tell you that there are traps ahead."

Rope Tree looked embarrassed, then gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Xiu, I can definitely do it."

As he spoke, he formed a hand seal again.

However, this time they used shadow clones.

However, this is a training ground meticulously prepared by the roots.

Given Rope Tree's impulsive nature, even after the first lesson, his shadow clones quickly fell into the trap and were dealt with.

Xingxia Xiu said, "The traps here haven't been set up yet."

"So, becoming a qualified ninja isn't just about graduating."

"Rope Tree, you don't want to be killed by an enemy trap before you even see the enemy, do you?"

Rope Tree nodded repeatedly.

Xingxia Xiu didn't just keep nagging him. He leaped up, took Nawaki into the woods, and began to teach him little by little how to read marks and how to identify potential traps, allowing Nawaki to gradually integrate the knowledge he had learned at school.

Of course, this is not enough.

Two hours later, after sending Nawaki home, Hoshino arrived at the Root base and copied the Fire Release and Lightning Release ninjutsu from the database.

Now that he is the most powerful in the Root Division, and as the temporary representative in charge of base affairs, he should naturally use his power to the fullest.

However, upon returning home, Hoshino did not immediately study Fire Release and Lightning Release. Instead, he first reviewed the sealing techniques he had learned from Kushina Uzumaki that afternoon.

For now.

Sealing techniques are second only to Wood Release and Space-Time Ninjutsu in priority.
