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

Chapter 163 Invulnerable to Swords and Spears! (Please Subscribe and Vote)

"Thank you, Hokage-sama."

After bowing in gratitude, Hoshino Hideyuki pondered for a moment and said, "As for ninjutsu, I wish to study space-time techniques, as well as ninjutsu involving the soul."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "As for space-time, you're already learning the Flying Thunder God Technique. The Second Hokage's Multiplicative Explosive Tags are also related to space-time; you can take a look."

"Regarding the soul, besides the Spirit Transformation Technique, the Second Hokage also developed a secret technique called Soul Imprisonment. You can try it too."

This suggestion was exactly what Hoshino Shigehisa needed. After thanking him, he asked Hiruzen Sarutobi for guidance on the three nature transformations: Earth Release, Fire Release, and Lightning Release.

Currently, in Yang Release, Hideaki Hoshino has Tsunade as a researcher, so Yin Release can be put aside for now. As for Wind Release and Water Release, there is no one in the entire ninja world stronger than him.

There are three types: Earth Release, Fire Release, and Lightning Release, with the latter two being particularly different.

As for Fire Release, in the entire Hidden Leaf Village, apart from the Uchiha clan, Hiruzen Sarutobi is absolutely second to none.

In my memory, Hiruzen Sarutobi had hardly shown any of his Lightning Release techniques, but now that I hear it, his skill is quite impressive.

An hour later, Hoshino Shu walked out of the Hokage Building with a scroll.

A very fruitful experience!

In addition to the Soul Imprisonment Technique and the Multiplying Explosive Tags Technique, Hiruzen Sarutobi also gave the Shōken Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, which he had developed, to Hideaki Hoshino.

However, Xingxia Xiu did not go home immediately, but came to the experimental base instead.

He first retrieved his clone, sorted out his memories and gains from this period, and then created a new clone, personally going to another laboratory.

There are many laboratory animals here, the most numerous being white mice, which are specially bred.

Xingxia Xiu easily caught one, and without using a scalpel, directly cut off the rat's tail with a chakra scalpel.

He then drew out the dragon vein chakra, and the rat tail easily continued.

But then the rat's tail was cut off by Xingxia Xiu.

This time, the Dragon Vein Chakra is still used, but instead of reconnecting the rat tail, it is regenerated.

With the infusion of dragon vein chakra, Xingxia Xiu didn't even need to use Water Release: Heavenly Water Regeneration; his rat tail grew rapidly.

"What an amazing regenerative ability!"

Xingxia Xiu was secretly surprised, but couldn't help but show her delight.

He then conducted a comprehensive examination of the mouse and confirmed one thing: the regenerative ability of the dragon vein also requires a foundation and cannot be created out of thin air.

In other words, it requires cells as a basis for continuous division.

Strictly speaking, it is no different from regular medical ninjutsu, except that the effects of the Dragon Vein Chakra are more outstanding.

However, the experiment was not over.

Xingxia Xiu chopped up the white mouse's tail, churned it into a ball, and then easily reshaped it using dragon vein chakra.

The Dragon Vein Chakra possesses two abilities: powerful regeneration and powerful reshaping.

Hoshino Hide secretly pondered, "This ability is indeed very suitable for puppets."

Of course, using it only for puppets would be a waste of its potential.

The experiment continued.

Xingxia Xiu needs to gradually understand the characteristics of the dragon vein chakra.

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was evening.

Hoshino left the experimental base and went straight to Tsunade's house.

Somewhat surprisingly, there were three people in the courtyard at that moment.

"What are Kushina and Erika doing here?"

Hoshino Hide, watching Nawaki fight Kushina, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "This kid's not bad."

However, it's not bad that Nawaki can be with Kushina, Erika, and the others.

Seeing Kushina's defeat, Hoshino Shu finally appeared.

"Brother Xiu!"

"Senior Xiu!"

Nawaki and Kushina exclaimed in unison, overjoyed.

Erika immediately followed suit, her face lighting up with delight, and respectfully greeted him, "Lord Hide!"

"It looks pretty good!"

Xingxia Xiu laughed.

Rope Tree said, "Brother Xiu, I feel we're ready to resume our missions."

He looked at the Star Show with great anticipation as he spoke.

He knew that if Hoshino Shu agreed, he could definitely become a ninja again, and his sister wouldn't object.

Hoshino tapped Nawaki on the head: "I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush, wait a little longer."

"By the way, how's your mastery of illusion magic coming along?"

Rope Tree immediately became distressed: "So-so."

"Brother Xiu, the illusion magic you taught is too profound."

Kushina nodded repeatedly, deeply agreeing with the sentiment.

Xingxia Xiu smiled and said, "You have plenty of time, no need to rush."

"I didn't have that kind of ability when I was your age."

After saying that, Hoshino looked at Erika and asked, "How have you been lately?"

Erika quickly replied, "Excellent!"

Nodding, Xingxia Xiu asked, "You guys haven't had dinner yet, have you? Come on, it's on me!"

Nawaki and Kushina cheered immediately, and Erika also smiled.

So the three adults and three children went out for dinner together.

On the way, Nawaki asked, "Brother Xiu, I heard that there are peace talks with Sunagakure. When will my sister be back?"

Xingxia Xiu said, "It will be soon."

"You should cultivate yourself well, and then give your sister a surprise."

Rope Tree nodded emphatically: "Of course."

"I've mastered the Air Step technique quite well; I should be able to start training in Wind Release Chakra Mode now!"

Xingxia Xiu gave a thumbs up.

Kushina retorted, not to be outdone: "My Wind Release: Rasengan is almost complete too!"

Nawaki immediately said, "My Wind Release nature transformation is almost enough to cut through the waterfall!"

Erika looked at the two of them with great envy.

Noticing this, Hoshishita Hide asked with a smile, "Is there any ninjutsu that Erika would like to learn?"

Erika said, "Medical ninjutsu."

Hoshino Hide nodded: "No problem, I can teach you simple medical ninjutsu!"

Erika was pleasantly surprised and quickly bowed, saying, "Thank you, Master Xiu!"

After dinner, he sent Nawaki and the others home. Hoshino then went home to wash up and sat in his study to open the ninjutsu scroll.

First is the multiple shadow clone technique with shuriken. This is not difficult; it's a technique based on shadow clone and multiple shadow clone.

In less than five minutes, Xingxia Xiu had mastered it.

Next came the Soul Imprisonment Technique.

This is a technique targeting the soul and consciousness.

If it weren't for Tobirama Senju using this technique to imprison his soul, Sasuke might not have survived until the Sage of Six Paths gave him a power-up.

This technique has remarkable effects in the medical field, sometimes even bringing the dead back to life.

Furthermore, Hoshino Hide felt that using it in conjunction with the Spirit Transformation Technique would be a perfect match.

Of course, Hoshino Hide didn't practice this ninjutsu to use in conjunction with the Spirit Transformation Technique, but rather to study the soul.

The body can be understood through dissection, but the soul is much harder to understand.

Given the experience of those who came before, Xingxia Show naturally wouldn't let it pass.

Time passed quickly, and before we knew it, dawn had broken.

As the night passed, Xingxia Xiu felt no fatigue.

"Soul imprisonment can also be considered a kind of immobilization spell."

Soul Imprisonment can also be used as a form of immobilization.

There are many types of immobilization techniques in the ninja world. Common genjutsu immobilization techniques include Itachi Uchiha's instant kill of Orochimaru, which belongs to the genjutsu category.

Danzo's cursed seal binding against Sasuke Uchiha was also a type of immobilization technique.

Even the Shadow Imitation Technique was originally called the Shadow Binding Technique, or you could say it was a Freezing Technique.

Just like Flying Thunder God can also be considered a body-flicker technique.

"Imprisoning the soul...imprisoning consciousness..."

Hoshino Hideaki secretly pondered, "Perhaps the Second Hokage also researched the Uzumaki clan's Reaper Death Seal?"

"Also, the Spirit Transformation Technique... Soul Imprisonment can be used in conjunction with this technique, but it can also actually counter the Spirit Transformation Technique."

"interesting."

Gathering her thoughts, Xingxia Xiu sent a clone to the Forest of Death to practice the Soul Imprisonment Technique.

The Death Forest has so many animals, it's perfect.

Then he created a clone and went to Tsunade's house.

Xingxia Xiu, however, ate breakfast and then began researching the technique of multiplying explosive tags.

This technique also involves space-time, pinpoint explosions, and infinite spiritual communication.

Besides rendering people useless, it also renders detonating tags useless.

but.

If combined with paper magic, that would be really nice.

Of course, there is no true paper-based ninjutsu in the ninja world.

Konan's God Paper Technique is not Paper Release; her paper is not made of chakra, but rather exists like a ninja tool.

There are many types of ninjutsu.

Puppet techniques are all of the same kind, and Sunagakure is particularly skilled in this type of ninjutsu.

The latest novel is first published here!

For example, Yekura's disciples can manipulate specially made cloth for offense and defense.

The same applies to manipulating sand; it's not Sand Release!

"To achieve Paper Release, you need Wood Release first, right?"

"Then, by adding the explosive talisman incantation, we can directly create explosive talismans..."

The art of explosions is still somewhat appealing.

Imagine creating a sea of ​​trees, then turning it into a sea of ​​explosive tags, detonating them, and blasting your enemies to dust—that's pretty cool.

"Since I've got nothing better to do, I might as well give it a try."

Star Show decided to give it a try.

With a large enough explosive charge, even the Sage of Six Paths could be killed by it.

He doesn't have a better way to raise his limit to reach the Quasi-Six Paths or even the Six Paths level yet, so he'll try more things.

We should try to develop various bloodline limits.

"Multiplying explosive tags isn't difficult either; one can master it by mastering psychic techniques."

After watching it just once, Xingxiaxiu already had a good idea of ​​what to expect.

With the technique of multiplying explosive tags, the Impure World Reincarnation technique can be considered.

Of course, Hoshino Shu wanted to be resurrected with Edo Tensei so that he could find some men to work for him.

For example, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

Such a brilliant mind is being wasted in a sacred place.

"But there's no rush. The third generation might not be willing for me to learn it."

"It's not too late to wait until Tsunade takes over..."

After retracting the scroll, Xingxia Xiu teleported to the experimental base to continue exploring the power of the dragon vein.

It remains an exploration of the regenerative and reshaping abilities of the dragon vein.

As for the power of time and space, it is too dangerous, and Xingxiaxiu is not yet ready to prepare for it.

Time flew by and it was December 21st.

It's time for the status to refresh again.

The previous statuses were all garbage, and Xingxia Show didn't even have the idea of ​​solidifying it.

For example, the previous one, "sharp-tongued," was another verbal sparring type of state.

Current status: [Invulnerable to blades and spears]

Note: Your body is invulnerable to swords and spears. Try it if you don't believe me.

Refresh countdown: 29 days 23:58:49

It's another physical state, but this comment... it feels a little scary.

With a flick of his wrist, Xingxia Xiu summoned his sword, drew it, and slashed it across his palm.

He wasn't confident in his physical condition, but rather in his own body.

However, there was no sensation when I pulled it, and when I opened my palm, there wasn't even a red mark.

"Truly invulnerable to swords and spears!"

Xingxia Xiu's eyes gleamed, and he immediately aimed the knife at his own stomach and stabbed.

His clothes were pierced, but he couldn't pierce his belly, as if he was blocked by an invisible force.

Xingxia Xiu gradually exerted his strength, eventually using up all his power, but still couldn't pierce his own belly, not even leaving a mark.

After thinking for a moment, Hoshino Hideyuki gripped the blade with his left hand again.

hum!

The wind-style chakra was added, forming a high-speed, serrated pattern.

However, they still couldn't break through the defenses.

Clearly, it means the literal meaning, not an adjective.

If you say it's invulnerable to swords and spears, then it truly is.

What if we use kunai instead?

Setting down the knife, Hoshino Hide took out a kunai and stabbed it into his palm.

The skin was broken, but it has healed.

"It really is knives and guns..."

Xingxiaxiu was speechless.

He was lucky he tried it; otherwise, if he had thought that no weapon could hurt him, he would have been in big trouble.

"I should be able to take this down directly."

Xingxia Xiu can also use his indestructible body to basically become impervious to swords and spears.

Of course, it can't compare to the power of the rule of "invulnerability".

His indestructible body hardening makes his body as hard as diamond, impervious to ordinary swords and spears.

Based on past experience, we should be able to handle this situation.

Even though it's just knives and guns, every little bit helps.

Furthermore, the concept of knives and guns can be very broad.

The sword can be a chakra sword, such as the sword of Susanoo.

In the ninja world, swords and blades are inseparable.

Sheathing his sword and kunai, Hoshino looked at his solidified status bars.

If we add "Invulnerability", then there are eight permanent status effects.

"Hoping for more useful status updates..."

Xingxia Xiu anticipates that the frequency of refreshing statuses will decrease in the future, meaning the intervals will be longer.

It started as a week, then a month, and then it changed again—who knows, it could be a year.

This has both advantages and disadvantages.

When you encounter a good state, you can have more time to try to solidify it.

"I can say that I have already reached the limit of simple Earth Release: Hardening Technique. If I want to go further, Steel Release is a viable direction."

Xingxia Xiu had tried Steel Release before, but he went in the wrong direction.

"Next, perhaps we could try combining Lightning Release and Earth Release to create Steel Release..."

After thinking it over, Xingxia Xiu went back to her bedroom to sleep.

……

Two days later, Tsunade finally returned from the Land of Rivers.

On that day, Hideaki dragged Tsunade to his experimental base, and then, with a swift stroke, cut off one of the White Zetsu's legs.

Then, under Tsunade's shocked gaze, he used the Dragon Vein Chakra to perform Water Release: Heavenly Water Regeneration Technique, allowing White Zetsu to grow a new leg.

"You...you did it?"

Tsunade's eyes reddened; the surprise had come too suddenly, and she was momentarily incredulous.

Hoshino wiped away the tears from Tsunade's eyes and smiled, "My medical ninjutsu can't do that yet; it's a characteristic of the Dragon Vein power."

"However, this is not a process of creating something from nothing, but rather through cell division, so it still shortens lifespan."

"The power of the dragon vein also has the power to reshape, for example..."

As he spoke, Xingxia Xiu enveloped White Zetsu's severed leg and the newly grown leg, reshaping them with the power of the Dragon Vein.

In other words, the broken leg and the new leg were reconstructed into a completely new leg.

Tsunade, upon seeing this, said, "This will be very useful on the battlefield."

Hoshino nodded: "Tsunade, what I mean is, there's no rush to reconstruct Nawaki's severed leg."

"Although we could easily do it now with the power of the dragon vein, the sacrifice would be too great."

A severed leg is not just a few pieces of flesh and blood.

Tsunade asked, "What are your thoughts?"

Hoshino nodded: "The power of the Dragon Vein, plus the White Zetsu cells, plus Nawaki's own cells, using the power of the Dragon Vein as a harmonizing force, borrowing the regenerative and reconstructive power of the Dragon Vein, to cultivate a leg, and then transplant it to Nawaki."

"From the current perspective, this direction is achievable."

"In addition, I have recently been studying the power of the dragon veins and have gained a lot of insights into the power of regeneration. There has also been some progress in the development of medical bloodline limits."

Tsunade nodded, "Okay, I believe you!"
