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

Chapter 154 Target: The Third Kazekage! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

October 1, Konoha 38.

The Village of Hot Springs officially declared war on the Village of Clouds.

Although the Hot Spring Ninja did not fight the Cloud Ninja on the front lines, they fought against the infiltrated Cloud Ninja in the Land of Hot Springs and the Land of the Moon, greatly relieving the pressure on Konoha.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi sent someone to communicate with the Hot Spring Ninja, Hideaki Hoshishita also received new orders and tasks to lead the cooperation with the Hot Spring Ninja and to sweep away the evil cult and the Cloud Ninja in the Land of Hot Spring and the Land of the Moon.

Therefore, it wasn't until April, after securing the Land of Hot Water and the Land of the Moon, that no more Cloud Ninja dared to infiltrate, thus creating a stable rear base for Konoha, that he led his team back to Konoha.

Each mission takes more than a month and also interferes with cultivation.

Aside from using verbal sparring to persuade the leader of the Tang Ninja Village, most of the time was spent killing, rendering his verbal skills useless and causing his attempts to solidify his position to fail.

Fortunately, the show didn't seem to care much about this situation.

After leaving the Hokage Building with the scroll, Hoshino Shu couldn't wait to get home and unroll the scroll in his study.

Flying Thunder God Technique!

The space-time ninjutsu, an essential skill for time travelers, was something that Xingxia Xiu had longed for before.

After all, with such ninjutsu, no one can stop him from running away.

Previously, with the help of the [Teleportation] state, Hoshino Hide gradually developed the Wood Flicker Technique, a space-time ninjutsu.

Compared to the Flying Thunder God Technique, the current Wood Instantaneous Body Technique has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Especially after obtaining the Spore Technique from White Zetsu, the application of the Wood Flicker Technique became even more extensive.

Starfall can spread spores over a wide area to enter the enemy's body, and they are very difficult to detect.

The Flying Thunder God Technique uses a spell pattern as its mark, while the Wood Instantaneous Body Technique could initially only use a wood clone as its mark, but now it can use spores as its mark.

This is more convenient than Flying Thunder God.

However, Flying Thunder God also has its own advantages.

For example, it can redirect powerful attacks.

This is something that Wood Instantaneous Body cannot do.

Therefore, even with the Wood Shunshin, Hoshino still harbored desires for the Flying Thunder God Technique.

With the Wood Instant Body technique as a foundation, learning the Flying Thunder God Technique now feels... not so difficult!

Hoshino Shu quickly became engrossed, completely absorbed in the Flying Thunder God technique.

Before we knew it, it was getting dark.

Hoshino looked away from the scroll, rubbed her tired eyes, and then smiled: "Seems pretty simple!"

After pondering and organizing his thoughts for a moment, Xingxia Xiu suddenly formed a hand seal and pressed his right palm onto the desk.

When he raised his palm, a Flying Thunder God Technique symbol appeared on the desk, which was actually a coiled dragon.

getting Started!

However, hand seals are still required to complete the spell marking, which greatly limits its practical application.

"Next is to get familiar with it. Once you've mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, the next step is to integrate and apply the Wood Flicker Body Technique with the Flying Thunder God Technique, taking the best of both worlds and making up for each other's weaknesses."

"However, this can be left to the clone."

Xingxia Xiu put away the scroll, sealed it, and then went out to find food.

After dinner, Hoshino arrived at Tsunade's house with another takeout order.

Tsunade was still fighting Chiyo in the Land of Rivers, while only Nawaki was at home.

Right now, this guy is practicing Wind Release: Rasengan in the yard.

Although he could no longer be a ninja, Nawaki did not give up, or rather, he had full confidence in Hoshino Hide and his sister Tsunade.

After standing at the door for a while and waiting for Nawaki to rest, Hoshino Hide finally spoke up: "Not bad, it looks like you'll master it soon."

"Brother Xiu!"

Rope Tree turned around and stepped forward with great surprise: "Brother Xiu, when did you get back?"

"Today."

Hoshino handed over a takeout Ichiraku Ramen, saying, "Here, this is what you like."

Rope Tree reached out and took it, chuckling, "I was just getting hungry!"

The two went inside and chatted while eating.

Rope Tree talked on and on. He was alone at home. His classmates were either still at school, which was already quite childish to him, or they were on missions outside. All he did was cultivate, which was very boring.

Moreover, he also has many problems in his spiritual practice.

Although Hoshino Hide left clones in Konoha, each clone basically had its own mission.

When asked about rope trees, Hoshino Hide is always ready to answer.

After all, he was his brother-in-law, so he took it very seriously.

If I can teach someone, I will definitely not hold back.

After the meal, Hoshinoshige taught Nawaki illusion techniques, hoping to improve his mastery of Yin Release nature transformation through these techniques.

Although it is extremely difficult for Yin Release to reach the level of suppressing Hashirama's cellular power, every little bit helps.

Those who are proficient in illusion techniques are also better able to counter other people's illusion techniques.

Furthermore, after experiencing this major setback, although Nawaki still maintained his carefree demeanor, Hoshino Shu keenly sensed the difference.

This kid has become even more resilient!

The training in illusion magic is significantly easier than before.

This might be a blessing in disguise.

At 10 p.m., Xingxiaxiu finished her lesson: "Alright, that's all for today. Get some rest."

"The body is still in its growth period, and it is essential to get enough sleep in order for the body to develop properly."

Nawaki nodded obediently, then asked, "Brother Xiu, after I master the Wind Release: Rasengan, can I learn the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken?"

The latest novel is first published here!

Hoshino Hide shook his head: "This technique requires too much control over chakra; it's not suitable for you."

"We'll talk about it once you've mastered the magic."

Without Sage Mode, throwing the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken is asking too much; Nawaki is far from being good enough.

Rope Tree was somewhat disappointed.

Hoshino Shu said, "You can first master the Wind Release Chakra Mode."

"Like this..."

As he spoke, Xingxia Xiu entered Wind Release Chakra Mode, his entire body enveloped in air currents, then soared into the sky and flew through the air.

This was the first time Nawaki had witnessed Hoshino's Wind Release Chakra Mode, and his eyes widened immediately. As soon as Hoshino returned, he exclaimed, "I'll learn this!"

So cool! So stylish!

"You need to work hard on this too; it's much harder than taking a step in the air."

After saying this with a smile, Xingxiaxiu disappeared.

Back home, after washing up, Xingxia Xiu suddenly felt that the house was too empty.

"This place needs a mistress..."

Hoshino-shita Hide misses Tsunade.

"It's so nice to have a wife, kids, and a warm bed, but they have to fight and kill all the time, sigh..."

Xingxia Xiu sighed, then hypnotized herself and quickly entered a deep sleep.

……

In the Land of Rivers, Tsunade, who had been busy all day, was finally able to rest.

"I wonder if that guy Xiu is out of the village on a mission or already asleep."

"And Rope Tree, has he been training properly...?"

Lying down, Tsunade couldn't help but miss her lover and family, and drifted off to sleep.

"Lady Tsunade!"

"Lady Tsunade!"

Suddenly, the shouts woke Tsunade.

Tsunade got up and hurriedly left the tent, only to find that it was drizzling outside.

"Spring, what's up?"

Tsunade asked the female medical ninja who called her name.

Chun hurriedly replied, "Lord Chun has summoned me urgently; he has a pressing mission."

Tsunade frowned slightly, then nodded: "I understand, I'll go right away."

After saying that, she used her teleportation technique to disappear.

When she arrived at Koharu's tent, she found that she wasn't the only one there. Besides Mitokado Homura, there were two other people: Jonin Kato Dan and Jonin Koto Mokumei, both of whom she recognized.

After nodding in acknowledgment, Tsunade looked at Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado: "What urgent mission is there?"

Mitokado Homura said, "Assassinate the Third Kazekage!"

Tsunade exclaimed in shock, "What?"

After her initial shock, she frowned and said, "Putting aside the Third Kazekage's own strength, he must have powerful guards around him, and it's impossible for him to act alone. Assassinating him would be extremely difficult, wouldn't it?"

Then Tsunade looked at Kato Dan and Kōtō Kōtō: "The three of us?"
