After putting down the Reaper Death Seal, Tsunade asked, "Has the awakening of the Rinnegan not begun yet?"

Xingxia Xiu shook her head: "Not yet."

"Perhaps we don't have enough power."

Tsunade frowned: "In that case, I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with Madara Uchiha, who possesses the Rinnegan."

"Furthermore, without the Rinnegan, is it possible to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki?"

Hoshino Hide comforted Tsunade, saying, "Don't worry. If the Rinnegan were so easy to unlock, the ninja world would already be under Madara Uchiha's control."

"I've almost finished researching the Corpse Demon Sealing Technique. Next, I'll focus more on Yin-Yang Escape Techniques."

"The two poles of Yin and Yang interact to generate the power of all things in the universe."

"Perhaps the Yin-Yang Release technique will help me awaken the Rinnegan."

Tsunade nodded, then asked, "So when are you going to get Madara Uchiha's other eye?"

Xingxia Xiu thought for a moment: "Let's wait a while. The clones have already started to move."

The outbreak of the Second Shinobi World War was inevitable; he had already left behind a wood clone to add fuel to the fire.

Tsunade nodded, then got up and left: "I'll get back to work now, I can't lose to you."

Hoshita Hide watched Tsunade leave, then began to organize the information about the Reaper Death Seal.

He has thoroughly studied this technique and has no problem using it.

Of course, he wouldn't personally use this suicidal technique.

After tidying up, Hoshino thought for a moment, then put away the Grim Reaper mask and sealed it in a scroll so that he could communicate with spirits at any time.

This scroll contains not only the Grim Reaper mask, but also his ninja sword, a large number of Flying Thunder God kunai, and explosive tags.

He has also mastered the technique of multiplying explosive tags.

"Hmm, we also need to study the Impure World Reincarnation technique... However, let's cooperate with Orochimaru; he's more skilled in this area."

The secret passage under the stars.

Orochimaru is a relatively pure person, and can be completely exploited.

After tidying up, Hoshino disappeared from the study and arrived at the training ground where Kushina and the others were.

At this moment, Kushina Uzumaki was fighting Minato Namikaze in Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, while Shinnosuke Sarutobi was watching from the sidelines.

Upon seeing Hoshinobu appear, Sarutobi Shinnosuke quickly came to his side: "Hide-sensei!"

Xingxia Xiu nodded, looking at the two still locked in combat, and asked, "How's your cultivation going these past few days?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke smiled wryly, "Kushina has improved too quickly. In Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, her strength, speed, and reaction time have all increased significantly. I am no match for her in close combat."

"Only a genius like Minato could match her."

At this moment, Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze were indeed locked in a fierce battle, neither of them using ninjutsu, but rather engaging in a pure taijutsu duel.

This reminded Xingxia Xiu of Itachi Uchiha.

The reanimated Uchiha Itachi and Nagato looked sickly, but they turned out to be incredibly fierce in battle.

Naruto in Nine-Tails Chakra Mode is as fast as the Raikage, and he even fought Itachi Uchiha to a standstill.

Xingxia Xiu believes that Naruto definitely held back at that time.

As for the present situation...

Minato Namikaze is indeed extraordinary.

Even without using the Flying Thunder God Technique, his Body Flicker Technique is extremely powerful, and his nerve reaction speed is comparable to that of the Third Raikage in Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

No, even faster.

That's a genius!

Starry Night Show can only compete with us in Sage Mode and Nine-Tails Mode. Otherwise, in his normal state, or even in his half-baked Lightning Release Chakra Mode, he is completely outmatched.

"Shin-chan, you're a genius too."

Xingxia Xiu laughed and said, "Everyone has different strengths."

"If you cultivate Lightning Release Nature Transformation and can master Lightning Release Chakra Mode, you won't be any worse than Minato."

Shinnosuke Sarutobi quickly replied, "Shu-sensei, I will do my best."

Hoshino nodded: "How's the Light and Heavy Rock Technique?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke quickly replied, "It's still a step away; this technique is very difficult."

Xingxia Xiu then asked, "What about the indestructible body?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke smiled: "With this technique, I can now harden my skin and muscles together in one second."

"good!"

Hoshino praised him, then warned again, "Be careful of lightning techniques!"

Even if someone cultivates their Vajra Indestructible Body to such a level, if they had a Lightning Release technique like Raikiri, their defenses could be broken, and they would be killed.

This wasn't the first time Sarutobi Shinnosuke had been given this instruction, and his face was solemn as he replied, "I understand!"

Hoshita Hide averted his gaze from Kushina and the other two, then asked Sarutobi Shinnosuke, "Shinnosuke, do you want to learn the Rasengan?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Shu-sensei, I think swordsmanship suits me better."

The Rasengan is certainly good; it's an A-rank ninjutsu without any manual variations, and it has a promising future for further development.

However, in close combat, Sarutobi Shinnosuke prefers swordsmanship.

He knew that Xingxia Xiu's swordsmanship was also quite good.

Respecting Sarutobi Shinnosuke's choice, Hoshinoshita Hide said with a smile, "Then I'll teach you swordsmanship next."

"Once you master the nature transformation of Lightning Release, I will teach you Lightning Release ninjutsu, which will be no worse than the Rasengan."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke was both surprised and delighted: "Thank you, Mr. Hide."

"But besides Lightning Release Chakra Mode, is Teacher Xiu also proficient in other Lightning Release ninjutsu?"

He had almost never seen Hoshino use any Lightning Release ninjutsu other than Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

Xingxia Xiu smiled and kept everyone in suspense: "You'll find out when the time comes."

"Whenever you master the Lightning Release nature transformation, I will teach it to you, so that you can use it with your swordsmanship."

The Chidori series of ninjutsu is still very useful.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke's heart was itching with desire, and he nodded repeatedly.

Hoshita Shu ignored Kushina and the other two and took Sarutobi Shinnosuke to practice swordsmanship.

night.

Tsunade was still asleep when Hoshino suddenly opened her eyes.

A year has passed, and the time for the status bar to refresh has finally arrived.

Unfortunately, the "Miraculous Healing" status was ultimately not achieved.

Despite possessing the power of the Dragon Vein, Hoshino's healing abilities are already astonishing, even surpassing Tsunade's, yet she still cannot reach this state.

All I can say is that the effect of the state is too abnormal, and the requirements are also too high.

Feeling regretful, Xingxiaxiu looked at the new status.

Current Status: Medical Master

Note: You are already a medical master, and possess medical master-level talent.

Refresh countdown: 364 days 23:57:49

Xingxia Xiu was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, another medical-related status update has appeared.

In terms of medical talent, Xingxia Xiu isn't particularly outstanding.

He initially relied on Hashirama's cells, and later developed Water Release medical ninjutsu. It wasn't that he had a high talent for medicine, but rather that he had a high talent bestowed upon him by the Water Release Master.

Now that I have the talent of a "Medical Master," my bloodline limit might actually be able to be developed.

Turning his head to look at Tsunade sleeping, Hoshishita Xiu couldn't help but start thinking about which new position to use...

……

parallel world.

In June of Konoha Year 41, the Second Shinobi World War finally broke out.

In addition to Kirigakure, Iwagakure, Sunagakure, Kumogakure, and Amegakure simultaneously attacked Konoha.

Xingxia Xiu traveled over and replaced the wood clone. His first move was to defeat and kill the Third Kazekage, forcing Sunagakure to be the first to withdraw from the war and surrender to Konoha.

The powerful Wood Release technique was revealed, which finally shocked the other ninja villages.

Afterwards, Hoshino fought to a draw with Onoki, forced the Third Raikage to retreat, and then killed Hanzo, who was known as a demigod, and forcefully took over Amegakure.

By this time, the Second Shinobi World War was rapidly entering its final stages due to Hoshinobi Hide's forceful intervention.

Mountain cemetery.

Xingxia Xiu's figure appeared.

After waiting for a while, Black Zetsu, draped in a black robe, appeared: "Why are you alone?"

Hoshino turned to look at Black Zetsu: "I'm enough on my own."

He removed his colored contact lenses, revealing Madara Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan.

Black Zetsu asked, "Did you go see the Uchiha clan's stone tablet?"

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "Of course."

"That's quite surprising."

"The Sharingan truly lives up to its reputation as a cursed eye."

Black Zetsu said, "Because the Sharingan is nothing more than a defective product of the Rinnegan."

"Compared to the power of the Rinnegan, the power of the Sharingan is insignificant, even the Mangekyou Sharingan."

The latest novel is first published here!

If Xingxia Xiu hadn't known everything, he probably would have been fooled by Hei Zetsu too.

The Sharingan and Rinnegan are two completely different bloodline limits.

In other words, it is not necessary to have the Mangekyou Sharingan or the Sharingan to awaken the Rinnegan.

Otherwise, Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan should have inherited the abilities of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

The Sharingan and Rinnegan both originate from the Rinne Sharingan.

The power of the Sharingan and Rinnegan cannot be simply compared in terms of which is stronger or weaker.

Is Obito Uchiha's Kamui inferior to Madara Uchiha's Limbo: Border Jail?

not at all.

Moreover, there is the powerful Susanoo.

As I said before, it all comes down to the person!

Of course, right now, Xingxia Xiu is pretending that everything Black Zetsu said is true.

So he deliberately asked, "According to the inscription on the stone tablet, although I obtained Madara Uchiha's eyes, I am not a member of the Uchiha clan. Can I really awaken the Rinnegan?"

"I don't feel any signs of it starting up right now."

Black Zetsu replied with absolute certainty, "Of course."

"You first obtained Hashirama's cells and inherited his powerful Wood Release, which means you possess the strongest power of the Senju clan."

"Now we have Madara Uchiha's eyes, and we have obtained the strongest power of the Uchiha clan, which is exactly the yin and yang."

"However, as you said, you are not of Uchiha or Senju bloodline. You have obtained their power, but not all of it, so it will take time."

"Ten years, at most ten years, and you will be able to awaken the Rinnegan."

Black Zetsu was very excited.

As long as Hoshino Shu follows his guidance to collect the nine tailed beasts, then activates the Rinnegan, summons the Gedo Mazo, becomes the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, and casts Infinite Tsukuyomi... Mom will be able to break free from the seal!

Xingxia Xiu feigned dissatisfaction: "Ten years!"

Hei Jue said, "Ten years is a very short time. You won't even be thirty years old then."

"Moreover, this is a perfect time for you to collect the Tailed Beasts."

"You were the one who captured the Eight-Tails, weren't you?"

Xingxia Xiu nodded.

Black Zetsu said, "With your current strength, taking down all the tailed beasts is not a problem."

"Of course, we cannot underestimate the power of the five great ninja villages."

"However, with Konoha's backing, you can definitely do it if you can persuade the Third Hokage."

Xingxia Xiu shook his head: "I'm afraid that won't work."

"The Third Hokage's personality wouldn't allow Konoha to become a target of public criticism."

"I can bear the loss of Konoha, but the Third Hokage cannot."

"Moreover, Konoha probably won't hand over the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki easily."

Black Zetsu said menacingly, "For the peace of the ninja world, these are all things that must be sacrificed."

Hoshino Shu disagreed: "Since I haven't awakened the Rinnegan yet, there's no need to rush the collection of the tailed beasts."

"We can establish an organization to secretly collect the other tailed beasts."

"Once the Third Hokage abdicates, I will push Tsunade to become the Fourth Hokage, and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki will be easily obtained."

Black Zetsu glanced at Hoshino Shuu, then nodded: "That works too."

That's good, it gives him another option.

Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju are both dead, so will the reincarnations of Indra and Ashura reappear?

He knew that Xingxia Xiu wouldn't completely trust him, so he had to have a backup plan.

Having confirmed Hoshino's plan, Black Zetsu took out Madara Uchiha's right eye, which he had been keeping hidden away.

Taking the glass bottle from Hoshino, Hideaki Hoshino said, "Next, you need to start gathering information on the Tailed Beasts."

"Also, keep an eye out for potential recruits; we need some help."

Black Zetsu nodded: "No problem."

"So, what should we call this organization?"

Hoshino Hideyoshi said, "Let's call it Akatsuki. Dawn breaks, representing the start of a new day and a brand new ninja world."

Black Zetsu nodded with a smile: "A very good name."

"You can call me Black Zetsu!"

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "Black Zetsu, let's split up."

"If I have the chance during this Ninja World War, I will take down the Tailed Beasts first."

"However, the only Jinchuriki who can go to the battlefield right now is probably the Four-Tails Jinchuriki."

Black Zetsu laughed and said, "Perhaps you can push forward the Jinchuriki plans of other ninja villages."

"Jinchūriki are very difficult to control. Compared to the tailed beasts sealed in ninja villages, jinchūriki are actually easier to capture."

Hoshino Shuu felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this, but remained outwardly calm, nodding and saying, "This is indeed a very good method. I will carry out this plan through the Root."

After saying that, Hoshino Shu left with Madara Uchiha's eyes.

Black Zetsu stood still and let out a joyful yet sinister laugh: "The plan has finally officially begun."

Although he could sense Xingxia Xiu's wariness towards him, this did not affect the progress of the plan.

As long as Hoshino collects the tailed beasts, awakens the Rinnegan, becomes the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki, and unleashes the Infinite Tsukuyomi, then it doesn't matter if he's wary of me.

As for whether Xingxia Xiu can awaken the Rinnegan, he has absolute confidence.

The key to awakening the Rinnegan lies in the chakra of Indra and Ashura, not in the so-called Mangekyou Sharingan or Hashirama cells.

Of course, as the reincarnation of Indra and Ashura, Madara Uchiha's eyes and Hashirama cells were the carriers of Indra and Ashura's chakra.

……

Meanwhile, Hoshino Hide, who returned to Konoha, did not transplant Madara Uchiha's right eye.

There's no need for that now.

It's not too late to transplant it when the Rinnegan shows signs of awakening.

"Next comes collecting the Tailed Beasts..."

Xingxia Xiu pondered to herself.

In this parallel world, he had far fewer concerns.

Therefore, even if Black Zetsu says there's no rush to collect the Tailed Beasts, the collection speed won't be slow.

Once the intelligence is obtained, action will be taken.

However, Hoshino Shu still hasn't figured out how to both release Kaguya Otsutsuki and completely eliminate her, while also avoiding being ambushed by Black Zetsu.

"No, I think I'm stuck in a fixed mindset."

Xingxiaxiu suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

To summon Kaguya Tsutsuki, is it absolutely necessary to use Infinite Tsukuyomi?

No!
