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

Chapter 118 Wind Release Master, Tsunade Returns! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

Although Madara Uchiha might already be on a life support, after careful consideration, Hoshino Shige realized that he couldn't stop Madara Uchiha.

They used the Gedo Mazo to sustain their lives, plus the White Zetsu.

Madara Uchiha didn't even need to use his main body; he only used his wood clones, along with the White Zetsu bio-armor, and activated Susanoo.

"In Sage Mode, the Wood Release: Wood Release technique is fine, but my Wood Release: Wood Release technique may not be able to stop Madara Uchiha's Complete Susanoo."

Hoshino Hide thought to himself, "Even if I get the Rinnegan now, I probably won't be able to unleash much of its power."

After careful consideration, Hoshino Shu suppressed his desire to obtain the Rinnegan.

Now is not the time.

There will be another chance after Madara Uchiha is taken off the tubes.

"No rush, we can't rush things now..."

Xingxia Xiu secretly reminded herself.

Currently, time seems to be on his side.

Although the status bar is not very reliable, it can still provide him with continuous assistance.

It is possible to reach the level of Super Shadow, Quasi-Six Paths, or even Six Paths.

After Shimura Daichi left, Hoshishita Hide continued his training.

Time flies.

Before we knew it, it was already the early morning of May 20th.

The status bar refreshed, and Xingxiaxiu looked lost and dejected.

The vigor and vitality are gone.

With a sigh, Xingxia Xiu looked at the new status.

Current status: Wind Release Master

Note: In Wind Release, you are at the Master level; in this state, you possess equivalent Wind Release talent.

Refresh countdown: 29 days 23:59:49

It's actually a state related to ninjutsu, but unfortunately it's Wind Release.

"My mastery of Wind Release is at least at the master level, right?"

Xingxia Xiu secretly admires herself.

However, in the [Wind Release Master] state, Xingxia Xiu still felt the difference.

He re-examined his many Wind Release ninjutsu, especially the Wind Release Chakra Mode, which was still under development, and suddenly had many ideas.

"The talent boost is still somewhat useful; it seems my natural talent isn't quite at the master level."

Hoshino Hide thought to himself, "The fact that I've been able to develop Wind Release to this level is related to my own knowledge and understanding."

Suppressing her thoughts, Xingxia Xiu tidied up the study, then washed up and went to sleep.

Without the boost from the "Dragon's Vigor and Tiger's Might" state, he needs to rest well.

There are still a large number of clones cultivating outside, so he needs to rest well before gradually dismantling the massive number of clones.

However, thinking about the gains of the month, Hoshino fell into a deep sleep with a smile on her face.

……

At five o'clock in the morning, Xingxia Xiu prepared to get up and restart her early morning training, which had been suspended for two months.

After the morning training, he began to gradually retract his clones.

This will be a very long process.

After all, he has thousands of clones outside.

As he continued processing the memories relayed by his clone, Xingxia Xiu couldn't help but sigh, "With the limitations of my talent, no amount of grinding will be very effective!"

I'm talking about sealing techniques!

The Four Symbols Seal is significantly more difficult than the Evil-Sealing Seal.

I've been working on it for over a month and still haven't completely solved it.

The previous [Hunger and Thirst] was still more effective in this regard.

On the contrary, the powerful sealing technique of the Myojinmon was mastered by Hoshino Shu without much effort because of the Wood Release.

There's also the aspect of lightning release.

Chidori wasn't developed, but he did learn several Lightning Release ninjutsu collected by Root, such as Lightning Release: Earth Walk and Four Pillars Binding.

This is a limitation of talent. Since one is not born with the Lightning Release attribute, it is extremely difficult to specialize in Lightning Release nature transformation.

However, Xingxia Show has no intention of giving up.

One aspect is personal effort, and another is that the status bar might be helpful in the future.

The art of spiritual transformation has been mastered!

My ability to hear sounds from the ground is still lacking.

Wind Release Chakra Mode, initial stage complete.

The spore technique is not yet complete, but it has already achieved the ability to create micro-seeds that silently enter the human body and become locators.

The birth of the Flower Tree Realm is complete!

Wooden Dummy Technique, Sage Mode, Complete!

Lava Release: Spiral Shuriken, complete.

Tailed Beast Mode, Lava Release Armor, complete!

……

A month has been a very successful period.

Without the "dragon's spirit and tiger's might," Xingxia Xiu estimated that it would have taken at least several years to achieve so many results.

Just as Xingxia Xiu was putting away the results of a month's work, three figures appeared at the gate of Konoha Village.

"Finally back!"

"We absolutely have to go soak in a hot spring!"

Zilai also laughed.

Tsunade, however, was already eager to go home and see how her younger brother Nawaki was doing, but she still warned him, "You idiot Jiraiya, you'd better behave yourself, or else..."

Raising her fist, Tsunade led the way into the village, saying, "I'll leave the task of getting to the teacher to you."

Jiraiya had originally planned to invite Tsunade to go to the hot springs together, but now he could only mutter helplessly, "She really has no trust in her comrades at all!"

Orochimaru glanced at Jiraiya, not wanting to say anything more.

Before we knew it, it was noon.

His stomach rumbled, and Hoshino Hide got up and stretched, preparing to go out for dinner, when there was a knock on the door, followed by Nawaki's voice: "Hide-nii, come out quickly, my sister is back!"

Hoshita Hide paused for a moment: "Tsunade has returned from the battlefield?"

Swish!

Her figure vanished from the spot, and Hoshino appeared outside the door. Tsunade, with her hair tied in a single ponytail, wearing a white top and a burgundy pencil skirt, stood gracefully beside Nawaki.

"Thank you for taking care of Nawaki, so I'd like to invite you to a meal."

Tsunade saw Hoshinoya appear and immediately spoke.

Hoshino smiled and said, "I'd be delighted; my stomach's been rumbling anyway."

The latest novel is first published here!

Rope Tree laughed and said, "I knew you hadn't eaten yet, Brother Xiu."

Let's go!

Hoshinoshita patted Rope Tree's head and laughed.

In that situation, even if you ate it, you should have said you didn't, you idiot!

The three walked side by side, chatting and laughing, and from a distance, they looked like a family.

The meal took more than an hour, and then I saw Orochimaru as soon as I stepped outside.

"teacher!"

Rope Tree's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward.

Orochimaru smiled and nodded, then looked at Hoshita Hide: "Hide-kun!"

Xingxia Xiu really wanted to call her Snake Auntie, but afraid that no one would understand, she replied with a smile, "Snake Lord, I didn't expect you to come back at this time."

Orochimaru glanced at Tsunade and said, "It's just a few days of rest before we return to the Land of Rain."

He paused for a moment, then added, "This time I'll bring Rope Tree with me."

Rope Tree's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly, "Teacher, can I go to the battlefield?"

Xingxia Xiu sighed inwardly, but didn't say anything.

Orochimaru was Nawaki Masamune's teacher.

In his opinion, Nawaki was going to the battlefield too early, but in the eyes of others, with Orochimaru as their Jonin teacher, and the current situation in the Land of Rain not being that tense for Konoha, it wouldn't be too dangerous.

Moreover, Tsunade did not object.

This may be the destiny of becoming a ninja.

But the original intention of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha in establishing Konoha was to protect children and prevent them from dying in the war.

Who still remembers this original intention?

Orochimaru took away the excited Nawaki, while Hoshino and Tsunade strolled side by side.

"Are you wondering why I didn't let Nawaki go to the battlefield later?"

Tsunade suddenly spoke up.

Hoshino Hide glanced at Tsunade and said, "Yes, that's a question I do have."

Tsunade said, "There are quite a few ninjas in the village who went to the battlefield not long after graduating, and Nawaki is no exception."

Xingxia Xiu understood what those words meant.

The more special one's status, the less one should be treated differently.

Tsunade added, "Besides, with Orochimaru around, there shouldn't be any problems."

The atmosphere was somewhat heavy, so Hoshino Hide smiled and said, "That makes sense."

"Besides, Rope Tree is someone I trained."

"I believe he is also capable of protecting himself well on the battlefield."

The topic smoothly shifted, and Tsunade asked, "Did you teach him that genjutsu too?"

Xingxia Xiu shook his head: "Not yet, that technique is too difficult."

"If it's just hypnosis, then it's not that important."

"I taught him the 'Air Step' technique, which is the technique that allows you to walk in the air; it belongs to the Wind Release."

Tsunade's heart was deeply touched: "Thank you!"

Hoshino Hide smiled and said, "If you want to express your gratitude, why not offer something tangible?"

"For example, teach me medical ninjutsu."

Tsunade paused for a moment: "You have your grandfather's cells, which can cure..."

"But I can't heal others," said Hoshino Hide.

"So, learning some medical ninjutsu might come in handy sometime."

Tsunade nodded: "No problem."

"I won't be going to the battlefield for the time being after I come back. You can come to the hospital to see me anytime."

She returned this time to prepare a large quantity of antidote pills, specifically to deal with Hanzo.

"By the way, I've gained some new insights into chakra bursts lately. How about we spar a bit?"

Xingxiaxiu made the suggestion.

Tsunade immediately perked up: "Then let's find a place!"
