Chapter 150 Uchiha and Hyuga! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

After parting ways with Jiraiya and Orochimaru, Hoshino and Tsunade strolled under the night sky.

"Show, do you really think the old man will implement my proposal after the war?"

"Tsunade asked."

She made this suggestion at this time because of her younger brother, Nawaki.

If there had been a reliable medical ninja at the time, Nawaki might not have lost a leg.

Hoshino put his arm around Tsunade's shoulder and said earnestly, "I trust the Third Hokage's judgment."

"Although it cannot be accomplished overnight, we will definitely push forward step by step and integrate medical ninjas into regular ninja squads."

As it turned out, Hiruzen Sarutobi really did it.

For example, Kakashi, Obito Uchiha, and Rin Nohara.

"However, training medical ninjas will be a problem, and it will be difficult to promote it on a large scale in a short period of time."

Hoshino Hide analyzed seriously: "To truly equip every squad with a medical ninja, it will require long-term efforts to establish a comprehensive medical ninja training mechanism."

Tsunade nodded, but then couldn't help frowning: "That's probably even more difficult."

Xingxia Xiu laughed and said, "Of course, nothing is easy."

"Especially in cultivating talent, it's not something that can be achieved in a short time."

"The Konoha Ninja Academy was established during the time of the First Hokage, and it has gradually become what it is today."

Tsunade sighed, "I was too hasty."

Xingxia Xiu smiled and said, "We're still young."

"Once the Third Hokage steps down, and you become Hokage, Tsunade, things will be much easier."

Tsunade stopped in her tracks, turned around, and looked up at Hoshino Shu: "You think I can become Hokage?"

Hoshino Hide laughed and retorted, "What's wrong, Tsunade? When did you become so insecure?"

"You have the bloodline of the Thousand Hands."

"You are the strongest female ninja in Konoha."

"You are the most skilled medical ninja in Konoha."

"You are the disciple of the Third Hokage!"

"After the Third Hokage, who could be more suitable than you?"

Tsunade then asked, "Shu, don't you want to become Hokage?"

Hoshino Hide hooked Tsunade's chin: "All I need to do is become the Hokage's man."

Tsunade blushed, then tiptoed and gently kissed Hoshino Shu: "Thank you for your support!"

Hoshino Shige lowered her head and sniffed Tsunade's ear: "You are my woman, of course I will support you."

If you don't support your own woman, are you going to support that good-for-nothing Danzo?

……

April 4, Konoha Year 38.

Tsunade reluctantly left the experimental base and stepped onto the battlefield once again.

After entering February, the intensity of the war between Konoha and Sunagakure began to rise steadily.

With Chiyo's appearance, Tsunade had no choice but to go and fight her.

In Konoha, only Tsunade could deal with Chiyo, a master of poison.

After Tsunade left, Hoshino Shu returned to his own training, and then taught Nawaki Genjutsu and Uzumaki Kushina Wind Release.

Another half month has passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Xingxia Xiu had just returned home after finishing his morning training when the Anbu (Anbu unit) came to his door.

After washing up, putting on a green vest, Xingxia Xiu arrived at the Hokage Building and knocked on the door to enter the Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had been busy since early morning. When he saw Hideaki Hoshita enter, he said, "Hideaki, the remnants of the Sky Ninja are causing trouble in the Land of the Moon. You will lead a team to take care of them."

"These people should have the support of the Cloud Ninja, and according to intelligence, the recent resurgence of the Evil God Cult in the Land of Hot Springs is also related to the Sky Ninja."

"If possible, find the strongholds, even the lair, of the remaining Void Ninja and destroy them completely!"

Xingxia Xiu nodded, "Understood!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Your teammates should already be waiting for you outside. Go!"

Xingxia Xiu stepped forward to take the information about the Sky Ninja, bowed, and then left.

Outside the Hokage Building, Hoshino saw his temporary teammates.

He knew all three of them.

The youngest is Minato Namikaze, followed by Fugaku Uchiha, whom we met in the Land of Grass, and Hizashi Hyuga from the Hyuga clan.

"Minato, weren't you with Jiraiya?"

Xingxia Xiu stepped forward with a smile.

Minato Namikaze quickly said, "Senpai, Jiraiya-sensei has gone to confront the Cloud Ninja."

Hoshita Hide nodded slightly, then looked at Uchiha Fugaku and Hyuga Hizashi: "Hello, I am Hoshita Hide, the team leader for this mission."

Although the captain was someone younger than them, neither Fugaku Uchiha nor Hizashi Hyuga showed any dissatisfaction or arrogance, and both bowed respectfully.

"Captain, I am Uchiha Fugaku, and I am skilled in genjutsu and fire release."

"Captain, I am Hyuga Hizashi, and I specialize in reconnaissance and physical combat."

Xingxia Xiu said, "I probably don't need to explain what I'm good at. Let's go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished.

Minato Namikaze immediately followed, while Fugaku Uchiha and Hizashi Hyuga exchanged a glance and set off together.

After leaving the village, they headed northeast into the forest. Hoshino slowed down and waited for Minato and the others to catch up before explaining the mission's objective.

"Fugaku, you're in charge of capturing prisoners and interrogating them."

"Hizashi, you're in charge of sensory reconnaissance."

Fugaku Uchiha and Hizashi Hyuga nodded in unison: "Understood!"

"knew!"

Minato Namikaze quickly asked, "Captain, what about me?"

Xingxia Xiu said, "Follow me, and kill!"

……

The group consisted of three Jonin and one Chunin, and they traveled at a very fast pace. They camped in the Land of Hot Springs that night and arrived outside a small town in the Land of the Moon at noon the next day.

According to intelligence, remnants of the Sky Ninja had occupied this town for a period of time not long ago.

Standing atop a hill, Hoshino asked Hizashi Hyuga, "Is this place enough to cover the entire town?"

The town wasn't big, and Hyuga Hizashi nodded: "It's fine, but it will consume a lot of chakra."

Hoshino nodded: "Then let's look for any ninjas hiding in the town. Don't worry about the chakra issue."

As he spoke, he placed a hand on Hyuga Hizashi's shoulder, and a surge of chakra flowed into the latter's body.

"this……"

Hyuga Hizashi was shocked, then quickly composed himself, activated his Byakugan, and looked down at the town below the mountain.

As his field of vision expanded, Hyuga searched the town bit by bit, but he did not observe any ninjas.

"Look down."

Xingxia Xiu's voice rang out.

"clear!"

Hyuga Hizashi immediately exerted all his strength to activate the power of his Byakugan, his gaze passing through buildings and the earth.

Suddenly, Hinata's gaze froze, and a look of joy appeared on her face: "Found it!"

"Hidden underground!"

"Three people!"

Xingxia Xiu smiled and said, "Very good!"

The latest novel is first published here!

"Fugaku, Minato, have you rested well?"

Minato Namikaze and Fugaku Uchiha, who were resting not far away, immediately stood up: "No problem."

"Hisashi, lead the way!"

Xingxia Xiudao.

Hinata nodded and went first, with Hoshino and the other two following behind.

With the help of the White Eyes, it was easy to find the underground passage after entering the town.

It's a sewer system.

After many twists and turns, Xingxia Xiu and her three companions soon arrived at the underground stronghold.

After making a few hand gestures, Hyuga Hizashi and Uchiha Fugaku immediately left and arrived at another entrance to the base.

This outpost relies on the town's abandoned underground sewer system, with one entrance being the sewer itself and the other being a specially constructed passage.

After Hyuga Hizashi and the others had finished their ambush, Hoshino Hide gestured to Namikaze Minato, then merged his body into the stone wall, passing directly through it and silently entering the base.

Minato Namikaze, on the other hand, guarded the entrance and exit.

"Those idiots in Konoha would never have imagined we were hiding right beneath this town, would they?"

"We still need to be careful not to leave any traces."

"Of course I know that."

"Those despicable guys from Konoha have caused us heavy losses again this time."

"I really don't know when we'll be able to rebuild the village!"

"It will be soon. Right now, Konoha is fighting a major battle with the Cloud and Sand Villages. We can take this opportunity to grow stronger, and once Konoha's strength weakens, we will be able to rebuild the village in one fell swoop."

……

The three ninjas were talking in hushed tones, completely unaware of Hoshino Shigeaki's arrival.

"Looks like we didn't make a mistake!"

Xingxia Xiu chuckled softly.

"Who is it?"

The three ninja were terrified, and their pupils constricted sharply when they saw Hoshinobu: "Oh no, it's that bastard from Konoha!"

"Kill him!"

"There must be accomplices outside!"

"Split up and fight your way out!"

Three people, two plans.

One of them, wielding a kunai, charged at Hoshino, while the other two split up and rushed out of two different exits.

Ignoring the two who had escaped, Xingxia Xiu raised his hand and unleashed a whistling vine.

"Wood Release!"

"You are a Wood Release user!"

The ninja who charged towards Hoshino was filled with terror. His momentum faltered, and he tried to escape, but he was entangled by vines and captured in an instant.

As expected, the battle outside ended with Minato Namikaze and his group defeating the two Sky Ninja.

Inside the base, Hoshita Hide said to Uchiha Fugaku, "They're yours now!"

"clear!"

Fugaku Uchiha nodded, his three-tomoe Sharingan quietly activating. The moment he made eye contact with one of the Sky Ninja, the latter's eyes went blank, and he unconsciously drooled, muttering information intermittently.

After interrogating one person, he moved on to the next. Once all three had been interrogated, Hoshino Hide used Wood Release to absorb all their chakra.

Minato Namikaze was already used to it, but Fugaku Uchiha and Hizashi Hyuga were secretly shocked.

"Captain, these remnants of the Sky Ninja are very cautious; none of them know the exact location of their strongholds."

"If we want to find other outposts, we can only start from where they make contact."

Minato Namikaze's mind worked quickly: "The rendezvous point shouldn't be too far from either side's bases, or it might even be between the bases."

Xingxia Xiu listened and nodded with a smile: "Well said."

"We searched outwards from the point where they met up."

"Next, we'll split into two groups."

"Fugaku, you're in a group with Hizashi. Minato, you're with me."

"Set off!"

Swish swish!

The sound of something cutting through the air rang out one after another, and in the blink of an eye, only three withered corpses remained in the stronghold.

……

From the treetop, looking at the village ahead, Hoshino asked, "Minato, do you think the Sky Ninja's base will still be hidden in the villages?"

Minato Namikaze: "Not every village or town has a complete underground water system, which is suitable for hiding."

"However, I think they will choose to establish their bases near villages and towns."

"Firstly, it makes resupply easier; secondly, and most importantly, they need to recruit new people."

Hoshino smiled and praised, "Excellent analysis."

"Let's check out this village first, then search that mountain."

Minato Namikaze nodded, then squatted down, touching the ground with his right hand and fingers together to sense the ground.

Hoshino Hide turned to look at the mountains to the north, thinking to herself, "Rolling your eyes out is so convenient..."

It has to be said that both the Sharingan and the Byakugan are very enviable.

"Human nature is truly greedy..."

Xingxia Xiu sighed inwardly.
