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

Konoha Village.

At Tsunade's house.

When Hoshino and Tsunade left their bedroom after exercising in the morning, they found breakfast already on the dining table, along with a note left by Nawaki.

After seeing this, Tsunade couldn't help but reach out and twist Xingxia Xiu's waist.

Hoshino Hide, suppressing his subconscious reaction of using his indestructible body, had his face twisted in agony.

Women really do know this trick without a teacher.

Grabbing Tsunade's hand, the two of them pulled and tugged into the bathroom, where they wrestled and played around for a while before finally leaving an hour later.

The breakfast left by Rope Tree had long since gone cold, so Hoshino Shu heated it up himself.

While having breakfast, Tsunade said, "I'm going to the experimental base later."

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "I'll go with you."

On the first day of the new year, nothing much happened at the root department.

One clone is enough.

Compared to the root of the body, of course, the wife is more important.

After breakfast, the two went together to the experimental base to conduct in-depth research on leukemia cells.

Time flies.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Iwagakure and Konoha officially signed a peace treaty, and the two sides formally ceased hostilities.

However, the war between Konoha and Sunagakure continues.

After what could be described as a two-week truce, the intensity of the war gradually escalated again.

However, the Hidden Cloud Village remained watchful and did not make another move, seemingly waiting for something.

Even so, only half a month after the New Year, the Root organization became busy, with most of its forces beginning to infiltrate the Land of Hot Water, the Land of the Moon, and even the Land of Lightning.

Assassination, intelligence.

There was no open war with the Cloud Ninja, but the covert battles were becoming increasingly fierce.

With the loss of Iwagakure as an opponent, Konoha's military strength was immediately freed up, and Konoha continued to increase its forces in the Land of River.

October 18, Konoha 38.

Hideaki Hoshino received Danzo's orders and arrived at the Root base.

"Lord Danzo!"

Inside the office, Xingxia Xiu bowed respectfully.

Danzo nodded slightly, then said, "A, from today onwards, you are officially separated from Root."

"This is Hiruzen's order. Go to the Hokage Building later."

Hoshita Shu accepted the transfer order, but remained respectful to Danzo: "Lord Danzo, I will always be a member of Root, and will always be Root's sharpest sword!"

"We will surely remove all obstacles for Lord Danzo!"

Danzo said in a deep voice, "Your methods are too radical. Keep a low profile for now after leaving Root."

"Your first task is to take control of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

Xingxia Xiu immediately nodded: "Understood!"

Go!

……

After leaving Danzo's office, Hoshino Shizuku looked at the approaching person with slight surprise after taking only a few steps: "Snake Lord!"

Orochimaru grinned: "Hide-kun!"

Xingxia Xiu said, "The Serpent Lord is about to enter the root realm!"

Orochimaru said, "It's a pity that Hideki-kun is leaving Root."

Hoshino Hide laughed and said, "But we are all Konoha ninjas."

Orochimaru nodded.

The two figures passed each other, and Hoshino guessed that Danzo was going to study Hashirama's cells with Orochimaru.

However, what was Hiruzen Sarutobi's purpose in stuffing Orochimaru into his Root?

Did he realize that the Root organization was gradually getting out of control, or was he intentionally grooming Orochimaru to become another Danzo?

Thinking it over, Hoshino showed off the Root base and headed straight for the Hokage Building.

From this moment forward, he will step from darkness into light.

Also, that hideous curse mark on my tongue is finally gone.

Although Hoshino Shu was able to remove the seal of the tongue-severing Root of Calamity long ago, it was Danzo who removed it today.

Danzo Office.

After a few polite exchanges, Danzo suddenly said, "Orochimaru, I heard you've been researching limb transplants lately?"

Orochimaru nodded: "That's right."

Danzo said, "If you want to restore the Nawaki Tree, ordinary technical means are probably not enough."

Orochimaru's gaze sharpened: "Do you have any suggestions?"

Danzo said in a deep voice, "The First Generation Cell!"

Orochimaru's pupils contracted slightly; this truly struck a chord with him.

He also had this idea and was preparing to try to study it.

Danzo looked at Orochimaru and said, "It seems you already have this idea."

"However, Hiruzen won't agree."

Orochimaru smiled. "So, what is your purpose in researching the First Hokage's cells?"

"Should we create another Wood Release user?"

Danzo asked, "Why not a stronger Wood Release user?"

Orochimaru was secretly surprised: "It seems we've already achieved some results!"

"I wonder if I have the honor of knowing this."

Danzo replied, "Of course."

"We have a common goal."

The latest novel is first published here!

……

Although Hoshino knew that Orochimaru and Danzo would get together, he never expected that the two would be so passionate about love and sex as soon as they met.

He arrived at the Hokage Building and knocked on the door of the Hokage's office.

"Enter!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice rang out.

Hoshino immediately pushed open the door and entered, then bowed: "Lord Hokage!"

Behind his desk, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up: "Impressive!"

"From today onwards, you are a Konoha Jonin. This is your special promotion order."

Xingxia Xiu quickly stepped forward and took it with both hands.

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked gently, "Shu, what are your thoughts for the future?"

Hoshino quickly replied, "Please make the arrangements, Hokage-sama!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, then pondered for a moment and said, "Adjust yourself first, follow my mission arrangements, and become a Jonin leading a team after this year's Ninja Academy graduation!"

Xingxia Xiu immediately accepted the order: "Yes!"

……

Wearing a green vest, Hoshino stretched as he walked out of the Hokage Building, feeling that everything was different.

"We should celebrate today."

With a whoosh, Xingxia Xiu's figure disappeared.

In the experimental base.

At the laboratory door, watching Tsunade intently conducting her experiment, Hoshinoshita Hide knocked on the door.

Tsunade turned around at the sound and was taken aback when she saw Hoshita Shuu in a green vest: "You..."

Hoshino Hide laughed and said, "I'm just like you now, a Jonin of Konoha."

Tsunade was somewhat surprised: "You've left Root?"

Xingxia Xiu nodded and stepped forward: "Let's celebrate together tonight!"

Tsunade nodded: "Okay!"

"By the way, are you ready to begin your training in Yin Seal?"

Xingxia Xiu shook his head: "My sealing technique is not enough."

"But you... are still accumulating chakra?"

Tsunade nodded: "Breaking it into two parts will allow for a longer accumulation period."

"Recent research has given me some ideas. With the support of the Yin Seal's massive chakra, it is possible to develop a medical ninjutsu that can heal rapidly, achieving healing abilities comparable to my grandfather's."

Upon hearing this, Hoshino immediately realized that Tsunade was going to develop the Hundred Healings Technique and Creation Rebirth.

Creation and regeneration are not difficult for Tsunade, a point that Hoshino Hide is very certain of, because the Senju clan has a deep accumulation of experience in using Yang Release.

For example, cell activation and regeneration techniques.

This is a valuable legacy left by the first and second generations, especially the second generation, which has a very wide scope of research.

On the contrary, the Hundred Healings Technique requires some effort and time.

"To achieve the self-healing ability of the First Hokage, the amount of chakra is only one aspect; you also need precise chakra control, especially during battle."

"Whether it's the First Hokage or me, the ability to heal itself doesn't actually require conscious control, but rather subconscious control, just like the functioning of the body's various organs."

"Then, Tsunade, you need to find a way to replace your subconscious to control and allocate these chakra, so as to achieve the goal of rapid healing."

Tsunade nodded, then frowned in thought: "That makes sense. In that case, the most suitable ninjutsu would be a cursed seal."

"By using the cursed seal, the chakra of the Yin Seal is connected to every cell in the body. After the Yin Seal is released, the chakra precisely envelops each cell, responding in tandem with healing ninjutsu. Whenever there is an injury, the cells automatically divide and heal!"

Hoshino nodded, but cautioned, "Even if such an ability is developed, it cannot be abused, as cell division can affect lifespan."

He's not as reckless as he was at the beginning, risking injury to save his life without hesitation.

Of course, the main reason is that there are no opponents or situations that require him to do this right now.
