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

"Alright, Rope Tree, you give it a try."

After fitting Nawaki with the puppet prosthetic limbs custom-made from Sunagakure, Hoshino gestured for Nawaki to try it out.

Rope Tree nodded, then took a step to adapt.

The puppet prosthetic limbs made by Chiyo herself were clearly of guaranteed quality, far superior to those used by Nawaki before.

After trying the rope tree, I felt its wonder and was able to exert more force: "Brother Xiu, Sister, it feels great."

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "This puppet prosthetic limb also has a mechanism that can enhance explosive power and is driven by chakra."

"I'll teach you the method later."

"Use this for now."

Nawaki nodded emphatically, then looked at Hoshino Hide and Tsunade with anticipation: "Brother Hide, Sister, in that case, can I become a ninja again?"

Hoshino glanced at Tsunade and smiled, "Okay."

"yeah!"

Rope Tree jumped up excitedly, exclaiming, "That's great!"

Tsunade, however, said coldly, "Focus on the mission and don't be careless."

Rope Tree quickly composed himself and nodded earnestly, "I know."

Tsunade waved her hand: "Go find your teacher!"

"yes!"

Rope Tree nodded, then winked at Hoshino, before eagerly leaping away.

After everyone left, Hoshinobu put his arm around Tsunade and said, "Don't worry, Nawaki is even stronger now."

"And the war is over."

The war between Konoha and Sunagakure has ended completely, and even Kumogakure is pushing forward with peace talks; the direct fighting has ceased.

While it's not to say that there's no danger without war, at least for most missions, it's certainly not as dangerous as the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Tsunade nodded, but her mood was low: "Ninjas are like they're cursed."

Hoshino Hide shook his head: "There are quite a few ninjas who can live to be eighty or ninety years old."

"Ordinary people also experience birth, aging, illness, and death, and various accidents also occur."

"We study medical ninjutsu, we learn ninjutsu, not just to complete missions and kill people, but also to solve problems."

"Despite the increasing difficulties, that's the meaning of life."

"We are walking on an unknown path."

Tsunade looked up at Hoshino, captivated by his deep gaze.

Xingxia Xiu smiled and said, "The unknown makes people uneasy and fearful, but it also brings surprises."

Tsunade nodded.

I've been researching the power of dragon veins lately, and I've indeed gained a lot.

Even Tsunade herself has made progress in medical ninjutsu, and her previous ideas have been substantially advanced.

"Come on, fill your Yin seal first."

Hoshino Hide pulled Tsunade into the house.

The two sat down facing each other, with Hoshino and Tsunade holding hands. Purple dragon vein chakra appeared on their bodies and then flowed into Tsunade's body.

Tsunade, on the other hand, controlled the power of the Dragon Vein to converge towards the Yin Seal between her eyebrows.

When she reached her limit, a purple diamond-shaped mark appeared on Tsunade's forehead.

Xingxia Xiu stopped, looked at Tsunade and smiled, "You're even more charming now."

Tsunade rolled her eyes at her lover and asked, "Approximately how much Dragon Vein power was consumed?"

Xingxia Xiu estimated for a moment and said, "One percent, I guess!"

Tsunade remained silent.

Her Yin Seal stores an enormous amount of chakra, but it is only one percent of the power of the Dragon Vein, which shows how terrifying the power of the Dragon Vein is.

This also indirectly demonstrates the power of the Nine-Tails and other tailed beasts.

"Your next task is to develop S-rank medical ninjutsu, while I will develop medical bloodline limits."

"Let's see who succeeds first."

Xingxia Xiudao.

Tsunade scoffed, "I'll definitely succeed first. Developing a bloodline limit involves too many uncertainties."

Xingxia Xiu smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true."

Tsunade became interested: "Let's make a bet!"

Xingxia Xiu's eyelids twitched. This bet had to be won!

"Okay, I won..."

Hoshinobu leaned close to Tsunade's ear: "A new position..."

Tsunade was speechless, then gritted her teeth and said, "If I win, you'll gamble with me for a month."

What a spendthrift woman!

Xingxia Xiu extended her pinky finger: "It's a deal!"

Tsunade extended her finger, and the two made a pinky promise: "It's a deal!"

With the bet settled, Xingxia Xiu immediately went to the experimental base.

There was no other way; making a bet with Tsunade came at a high price and put a lot of pressure on me.

However, pressure is a good thing.

However, other planetary repair shows were not neglected either.

The Flying Thunder God Technique, Lightning Release nature transformation, Earth Release training, attempts at Steel Release, and even the development of Paper Release, etc.

While others enjoyed a leisurely post-war period, Xingxiaxiu became even busier.

Although most of the training is done by clones, Xingxia Xiu mainly conducts research at the experimental base, while the Lightning Release Body Tempering requires the main body to cultivate personally.

May arrived in the blink of an eye.

The Cloud Ninja envoy arrived in Konoha to sign a peace agreement, which meant that Konoha and the Cloud Ninja officially ceased hostilities.

The Second Shinobi World War, which began in Konoha 36, ​​has now come to a complete end.

Hoshinobu, who was practicing Lightning Release at home, was somewhat lost in thought after receiving the news.

In his memory, the Second Shinobi World War lasted even longer.

At least the war between Konoha and Kumogakure should still be ongoing in Konoha 41.

For example, the kidnapping of Kushina Uzumaki occurred after she graduated.

That was after I turned 12, which means at least after June of this year.

"I've changed quite a bit..."

Xingxia Xiu sighed inwardly.

Hanzo is dead, and the Land of Rain is at peace.

The Third Kazekage died, and Chiyo became the Fourth Kazekage.

Kato Dan is still dead, but Nawaki is still alive.

Tsunade did not have hemophobia.

The Second Shinobi World War ended prematurely.

Given the current situation and Konoha's strength, if they don't initiate a war, will there still be a Third Shinobi World War?

It wasn't that Hoshino was arrogant, but rather that his strength was enough to intimidate the other ninja villages.

Otherwise, the Cloud Ninja wouldn't have so easily taken the initiative to negotiate.

"Perhaps this is the meaning of my existence?"

Xingxia Xiu suddenly chuckled and muttered under his breath, "Bullshit!"

The meaning of existence or non-existence.

It has meaning because it exists.

Everything else is irrelevant!

Gathering her thoughts, Xingxia Xiu returned to her cultivation practice.

The clones just gave me feedback on their memories. There were two sets of memories: one from the clone who went to the Hokage Building for the meeting, and the other from the clone who trained in Lightning Release.

Chidori is finally complete!

Developing this ninjutsu is far, far more difficult than developing the Rasengan.

He could be considered a prophet regarding the Rasengan, even knowing almost the exact method of its training.

Chidori is not, and Lightning Release is not an attribute he was born with.

However, the successful training of Chidori also means that Hoshino Shu's mastery of lightning nature transformation is already quite profound.

The next step after Chidori is Raikiri.

First came the Chidori Stream, and now it's Chidori. With this foundation, plus a massive amount of chakra, the Lightning Release Chakra Mode has a solid basis for success.

"The next step is to slowly grind it down and build up the strength of your body."

The reason why Xingxia Xiu is obsessed with the Lightning Release Chakra Mode is to improve his nerve reaction speed.

Even in Sage Mode, neural reaction speed can be greatly improved.

Even though Hoshino has a huge amount of chakra now, Sage Mode still cannot be maintained as a regular state.

Therefore, Lightning Release Chakra Mode is the replacement for Sage Mode.

Why can't he have the same naturally excellent reflexes as Minato Namikaze?

Although the Flying Thunder God Technique was developed by the second generation, Minato Namikaze was able to surpass it, demonstrating his talent.

Talent is often more important than hard work.

Besides hard work, choice is also more important.

Lightning Release Chakra Mode is a good choice.

……

5 month 20 day.

Hoshino Hide received a notification from the Anbu and went to the Hokage's office.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Wow, Kushina is about to graduate, and you're the only one in the entire Hidden Leaf Village who's best suited to teach her."

Hiruzen Sarutobi gets straight to the point.

Hoshino Hide nodded: "Third Generation, I have no problem."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, then took out a document: "This is the information on the new recruit you're going to mentor."

Xingxia Xiu stepped forward, took it, and looked at it twice, then was quite surprised.

Kushina Uzumaki was decided long ago, but the other two were truly surprising.

"Third Hokage, Minato is a Chunin now, right?"

Xingxia Xiudao.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Minato is outstanding, so he needs someone to guide him."

"In Konoha, you are the only one who is proficient in space-time ninjutsu."

Okay, this seems like a reasonable arrangement.

Xingxia Xiu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Hiruzen Sarutobi added, "I'd also like to ask Hide for help with Shinnosuke. I hope you'll be strict with him."

Xingxia Xiu said earnestly, "I will be strict with myself."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was very satisfied.

In the present Konoha, there is no better Jonin to lead the team than Hoshino Shu.

Although this is the first time I've done an Under the Star show.

However, he has experience training other ninjas in Root.

Moreover, Nawaki and Kushina Uzumaki were both excellent teachers, so Hiruzen Sarutobi also placed his eldest son, Shinnosuke Sarutobi, in the Hide team.

Therefore, Sarutobi Shinnosuke graduated early.

Shinnosuke Sarutobi is only eight years old at the moment.

His graduation age is the same as that of Minato Namikaze before him.

Originally, Hiruzen Sarutobi intended for Shinnosuke Sarutobi to complete six years of study before graduating.

……

The love of the parents is far-reaching.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's intentions were commendable.

The Star Show doesn't mind this arrangement.

Moreover, Sarutobi Shinnosuke seems to be a genius as well.

Geniuses are easy to teach; they don't require much effort.

As soon as he left the Hokage Building, Hoshino saw two figures waiting for him.

The familiar Minato Namikaze, and Shinnosuke Sarutobi who looks just like a young Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Upon seeing Xingxia Xiu emerge, the two immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Teacher Xiu!"

"Shu-sensei, I am Sarutobi Shinnosuke."

Xingxia Xiu nodded slightly: "Follow me!"

The person had already disappeared as they spoke.

Minato Namikaze and Shinnosuke Sarutobi quickly used their Body Flicker Technique to catch up.

On the open ground by the river, Hoshino stopped and looked at the two students who had arrived, saying, "Minato, how's your Wind Release nature transformation?"

Minato Namikaze quickly said, "Shu-sensei, we can cut the waterfall now."

"However, the Wind Release: Rasengan Shuriken is not yet fully mastered."

Hoshino nodded: "Then it's not a matter of nature change, but a matter of form change. Form change involves a higher degree of precision in chakra control."

But could Minato Namikaze's chakra control be worse than Naruto's?

However, considering that he had not directly taught Minato Namikaze the Wind Release: Rasengan, it was normal that the latter had not mastered it on his own.

"Minato, you use the Rasengan."

Xingxia Xiudao.

"Yes, Ms. Xiu!"

Minato Namikaze raised his right hand, opened his palm, and a blue Rasengan immediately appeared.

Shinnosuke Sarutobi, standing nearby, couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, "No-hand seal ninjutsu, such powerful chakra."

At this moment, Hoshino stepped forward and supported Minato Namikaze's right hand with his right palm.

The next moment, accompanied by a piercing buzzing sound, Minato Namikaze's Rasengan instantly expanded, transforming into a high-speed spinning windmill.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke's mouth dropped open.

Hoshino asked Minato Namikaze, "Do you understand?"

Minato Namikaze nodded quickly, "Understood!"

Hoshita Hide nodded in satisfaction, then withdrew his hand and asked, "Did Jiraiya teach you Sage Mode?"

Minato Namikaze dispelled the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken and shook his head, saying, "Not yet. My current chakra reserves are still somewhat insufficient for training."

Hoshino nodded: "Chakra is indeed a problem."

"However, without Sage Mode, you need extremely high precision in controlling your chakra to throw the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken."

"Hmm... If we have the Flying Thunder God Technique, we don't necessarily need to throw out the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken."

This technique only harms the user after it is unleashed.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is fast enough to teleport away the instant it hits the enemy, without harming itself.

"That's settled then."

Hoshita Hideyoshi said, "Minato, you should first master the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken. Combined with the Flying Thunder God Technique, that should be enough for you."

Minato Namikaze nodded quickly, "Yes, Mr. Hideaki!"

Hoshinobu looked at Sarutobi Shinnosuke again.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke immediately became serious and somewhat nervous.

He was already very excited about the Star Show, which was already quite famous.

His display of skill just now brought a little shock. Hoshinobu, a legendary figure who had only existed in other people's words in the past, suddenly seemed to have stepped from legend into reality, making Sarutobi Shinnosuke involuntarily nervous.

Xingxia Xiu smiled gently: "No need to be nervous."

"Shin-chan, please introduce yourself!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded quickly: "Yes, Mr. Hideaki."

"I possess the three common attributes of fire, earth, and lightning, and I have already mastered the Earth Release: Nature Transformation."

Hoshino nodded: "As for Fire Release, with the Third Hokage around, I'm not particularly skilled in it. It would be more convenient for you to consult the Third Hokage in this regard."

"With your talent, learning standard Earth Release ninjutsu shouldn't be difficult; it's more about practical application and proficiency."

"I'll teach you the Earth Spear Technique first. It's similar to the Hardening Technique of the Iwa ninja. It can harden the skin, and its nature transformation is deep enough to be comparable to diamond. Except for being countered by Lightning Release, it can block most physical attacks."

"Besides the earth spear technique, there is also the Vajra Indestructible Body, which I developed myself."

"The earthen spear only hardens the skin, while the Vajra Indestructible Body can harden muscles, bones, and even internal organs, making the whole person like a hard diamond from the inside out."

Not to mention Sarutobi Shinnosuke, even Namikaze Minato, who knew Hoshino Shige quite well, was stunned when he heard this.

Seeing the two's little expressions, Xingxia Xiu couldn't help but smile.

He hasn't mastered the techniques of heavy rock and light rock yet, otherwise, revealing them would have caused another wave of shock.

"Since you like Earth Release, Shinnosuke, let's start with Earth Release first. After you've mastered Earth Release, then you can learn Lightning Release."

Xingxia Xiudao.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke had no objections: "Yes, Hide-sensei!"
