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

Phew~boom!

The signal flare exploded in the air. Hoshino looked up: "Looks like there's been a discovery over there. Minato, let's go!"

Having just finished his fruitless exploration of the village, Minato Namikaze quickly got up and followed.

The two were traveling at high speed through the wilderness when they soon saw two figures rushing towards them.

It's a fleeing ninja!

The fleeing ninja didn't expect to be so unlucky; he randomly chose a direction and ran into Konoha ninjas again.

separate!

The two air ninjas immediately changed direction, one to the left and one to the right.

Xingxia Xiu's figure soared into the air, followed by an explosion of chakra. His body was enveloped in air currents, and with a loud bang, he broke through the air, a ring of energy appearing around his body as he shot out.

"So fast!"

Minato Namikaze couldn't help but gasp in surprise upon seeing this.

The fleeing ninja was terrified and gritted his teeth, using all his strength, but it was to no avail. He was easily caught up by Hoshino Hide.

Boom!

The body fell from the sky, the ground sank, and then it exploded.

The ninja was instantly sent flying. Hoshinobi caught up in a flash, his large hand like an iron clamp, grabbed the ninja's neck, and slammed him to the ground.

boom!

The ground sank, Kong Ren coughed up blood, his whole body was in excruciating pain, and he no longer had the strength to struggle.

On the other side, Minato Namikaze caught up with another Sky Ninja. The sound of metal clashing could be heard. Hoshino looked up and saw that the two were fighting back and forth.

Xingxia Xiu glanced at him and then looked away, lowering his head to meet the eyes of the Sky Ninja on the ground, activating the Heavenly Dream Walker Technique.

Hearing Sora's mechanical voice, Hoshino frowned.

People of the evil god cult!

The Void Ninja stronghold that Fugaku and his group found had members of the Jashin Cult.

With a single stomp, Hoshinobu was crushed to death, and then his figure vanished from the spot.

"Minato, take care of him first, then follow us."

The voice rang in his ears, and Minato Namikaze's gaze sharpened: "We need to speed things up..."

With a feint, Minato Namikaze kicked the Sky Ninja away, then casually tossed out a kunai.

The air ninja who was sent flying forcefully twisted his body to avoid the kunai, but the next moment, Minato Namikaze appeared beside him, pressing his right Rasengan against his abdomen.

boom!

The air ninja spun around and flew out, crashing into a rock that shattered with a crack.

After severely injuring the air ninja, Minato Namikaze stepped forward, knocked him unconscious, and then carried him away to chase after Hideaki Hoshino.

By the time he arrived, the battle was already over.

"These guys are from a cult!"

Watching the prisoners reveal information under Fugaku Uchiha's genjutsu, Hoshishita Hide frowned: "You all need to be extremely careful from now on."

"Never be careless when you encounter members of an evil cult."

"According to intelligence, the evil god cult possesses an immortal body; even if the body is dismembered, it will not die."

"Even when they are hit in vital areas, they are still able to move."

The three members of the Uchiha clan were all taken aback upon hearing this.

Xingxia Xiu continued, "Never let the Cult of Evil Gods obtain your blood."

"These brainless bastards use blood as a means to cast curses."

"If someone accidentally gets their blood from a cult, then we must prevent them from performing the ritual."

"If I can't stop you, I can't save you either."

Minato Namikaze and the other two nodded solemnly upon hearing this, completely believing what Hideyuki Hoshishita had said.

After all, not only was Hoshino Shuu incredibly powerful, but he was also the second strongest member of Root after Danzo, and the information he possessed was astonishing.

However, Hideaki Hoshino is not actually certain whether the current Jashin Cult has anyone who has achieved immortality like Hidan.

But regardless of whether it's true or not, it's always good to be on guard.

After dealing with the prisoners, Hoshino and her three companions rested for two hours before continuing their mission.

Pulling out the radish brings out the mud along with it.

Once the first air ninja stronghold is found, this operation will not end easily.

Meanwhile.

On the border of the Land of the Moon, after a long standoff, Konoha and Kumogakure finally went to war again.

The Cloud Ninja began a probing attack, with small teams constantly infiltrating deep into the Land of the Moon, even bypassing the Leaf Village's defenses and entering the Land of Hot Springs directly.

The war continues.

……

The ruins of the Sora Ninja Village.

The area is now lush with vegetation, but many ruins and broken walls can still be seen.

Hoshino Shu appeared here with Minato Namikaze and two others.

The remnants of the Sky Ninja are jumping around so happily. Hoshino Hide is determined to complete his first mission after leaving Root perfectly, and then go back to retrieve the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"Daytime patrol, explore the underground."

Xingxia Xiu issued the order.

"clear!"

Hyuga Hizashi nodded, then veins bulged around his eyes, activated his Byakugan, and his gaze stretched downwards through the ground.

"This is……"

Hyuga Hizashi quickly noticed the unusual underground structure and became excited. His gaze continued to extend until he finally saw people.

"Captain, the remnants of the Sky Ninja are hiding underground!"

"Moreover, there seems to be a vast underground structure."

Hinata Hizashi shouted.

Xingxia Xiu wasn't surprised at all: "We found the entrance and exit."

Hyuga Hizashi nodded: "Understood!"

Having white eyes makes it very convenient; you can easily find an entrance or exit.

The four members of Hoshino entered the fortress hidden underground, but were quickly discovered by the ninjas hidden inside.

Uchiha Fugaku and his two companions led the way, while Hoshino Shigehatsu followed leisurely behind.

After fighting their way to the spacious hall, Xingxia Xiu finally met Shennong again.

This still young guy looked at Xingxia Xiu and her group with hatred.

He hadn't expected that before his plan was even complete, the people of Konoha would find him here.

hateful!

Shennong was filled with resentment.

Xingxia Xiu looked at him: "Shennong?"

"By choosing this name, you've already set yourself on the path to death."

Minato and the other two found it all rather baffling, let alone Shennong himself.

"People of Konoha, you'd better leave now, or you'll regret it for the rest of your lives!"

Shennong issued a warning.

Xingxia Xiu chuckled: "You're relying on Zero Tail, aren't you?"

Shennong's eyes widened: "You...how did you know?"

Minato Namikaze couldn't help but ask, "Captain, what is the Zero-Tails? Is it related to the Tailed Beasts?"

Hoshino Hideyoshi said, "It has nothing to do with tailed beasts; it's just a chakra aggregate similar to tailed beasts."

Shennong took a deep breath: "I didn't expect you to know so much."

"If that's the case, then you should be well aware of Zero-Tail's power."

"Leave now, and you may still live."

Xingxia Xiu shook his head: "It seems you don't know who I am."

The latest novel is first published here!

As soon as he finished speaking, Xingxia Xiu appeared in front of Shennong, almost touching him.

Shennong instinctively stepped back: "You...you're a Wood Release user!"

Looking down at the vines that had grown from the ground and entangled him, Shennong was filled with terror.

"Next, take us to see the terrifying Zero-Tail you spoke of!"

Xingxia Xiu's voice echoed in Shennong's ears.

Shennong looked up blankly, and the moment his eyes met Xingxiaxiu's, he fell into a deep sleep, and then entered a sleepwalking puppet state.

When Fugaku Uchiha first witnessed Hoshino's use of the Heavenly Dream Walker technique, he was shocked: "The captain's genjutsu ability is no worse than mine!"

Xingxia Xiu controlled Shennong to open the passage leading to the Zero-Tails' imprisonment. Upon arrival, Namikaze Minato looked at the enormous space and the densely packed talismans all around, and couldn't help but exclaim, "I never imagined that the Sky Ninja Village would have a place like this."

Xingxia Xiu said, "These sealing techniques were all stolen from the village."

In terms of the depth of sealing techniques, Konoha was second only to the Uzumaki clan before their existence, but after the Uzumaki clan was wiped out, it became number one.

In terms of sealing techniques for tailed beasts, Konoha is the strongest.

"team leader!"

Hyuga Hizashi gave a soft shout and pointed forward.

"Is this Zero Tail?"

Minato Namikaze also noticed the monster shrouded in beige substance.

"This is it."

Xingxia Xiu nodded, then stepped forward.

The Zero Tail in front of him didn't seem as huge as he had imagined.

The seal, however, is quite perfect.

It must be said that the Sky Ninja Village is quite capable.

Xingxia Xiu hasn't fully mastered those sealing techniques yet!

Before arriving at Zero Tail, Xingxia Xiu manipulated Shennong to break the seal.

The chakra tentacles connecting Zero-Tails to the surrounding sealing techniques immediately broke off, and Zero-Tails' true form was revealed before everyone.

"Such powerful chakra! This chakra is too evil!"

Hyuga Hizashi's expression changed drastically.

Fugaku Uchiha activated his three-tomoe Sharingan, his brow furrowing in alarm.

Roar!

Zero-Tails, coiled like a snake and wearing a "Zero" mask on its head, awakens with a long howl. Its powerful chakra stirs up a gale, causing Xingxia Xiu's black hair to dance in the wind.

"It's nowhere near as good as the Four-Tails!"

Xingxia Xiu commented with a smile.

Inside his stomach, the Four-Tails opened its eyes: "Hey, isn't it a bit much to compare me to something like this?"

"After all, it's called Zero Tail!"

Xingxia Xiu chuckled softly, then clasped her hands together, forming the Si Mudra.

shhhhhh!

Just as Zero-Tail was about to move, thick vines rose from the ground and wrapped around and bound Zero-Tail's body.

Roar!

Zero-Tails roared and struggled, but it couldn't break free; instead, its chakra kept draining away.

"As expected of Senior Xiu, even with such powerful chakra, we have no power to resist him."

Minato Namikaze was secretly amazed.

Hyuga Hizashi, however, was curious: "Captain, how do you plan to deal with this guy? A monster made entirely of dark chakra, it'll probably be difficult to kill, won't it?"

At this moment, Xingxia Xiu unbuttoned her green vest, lifted her black clothes underneath, and revealed her abdomen.

The next moment, the Four Symbols Seal technique appeared on his abdomen.

"Fortunately, I've already mastered the Four Symbols Seal!"

Xingxia Xiu's hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals, before finally clasping them together: "Seal!"

The sealing technique on his abdomen rotated, forming a vortex. Zero-Tails, which was locked by Wood Release, immediately lost control, its body collapsed, and turned into pure dark chakra that surged into Hoshino Shu's abdomen.

"It is the Four Symbols Seal."

Minato Namikaze recognized it immediately: "Captain, you're going to seal the Zero-Tails inside your body."

"Is such dark chakra alright?"

Minato Namikaze was a little worried, but then he thought that Hideaki Hoshino was still the Jinchūriki of the Four-Tails.

Compared to the Four-Tails, the Zero-Tails is nothing.

Moments later, Zero-Tails was completely sealed by Hoshino Shuu and lived right next to Four-Tails.

Compared to the four-tailed one, the zero-tailed one is far inferior.

But Star Show doesn't mind.

Although this power bank has a low battery capacity, it still has the potential to improve.

Dark chakra grows in power by relying on the dark emotions of the world.

We are currently at war, and there will likely be a third and fourth Shinobi World War in the future, allowing us to continue to grow stronger.

As for whether it will be affected by dark chakra and cause a personality change.

There's no need to worry about the Star Show.

After sealing the Four Symbols, Xingxia Xiu added the Bright God Gate to Zero Tail.

Regarding the power of the Zero-Tails, Hoshino Shu would directly absorb it using Wood Release to convert it into life force to replenish his own strength, rather than directly using its chakra.

That eliminates all risk.

Unless Zero-Tails has the ability to break through the Myojin Gate and the Four Symbols Seal, and use dark chakra to corrupt the mind and body of Xingxia Xiu.

But that's obviously impossible.
