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

Chapter 194 Turning Stone into Gold, Turning Against Each Other! (Please Subscribe and Vote)

With Kushina and the others no longer needed to be with him, Hoshino Shu had complete freedom and devoted all his energy to developing the power of the dragon veins.

There are many chakra modes in the ninja world.

Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, Lightning Release Chakra Mode, and even the Wind Release Chakra Mode developed by Hoshino Shu himself, as well as Lava Release Chakra Mode.

The Nine-Tails Chakra Mode forms naturally without needing to be developed.

As for the other chakra patterns, they are all variations of nature.

Xingxia Xiu has been pondering the Dragon Vein Chakra Mode for a long time, but has not yet determined a specific plan or a clear route.

Although there seem to be many examples to refer to.

For example, imitating the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, or even the Sage Fox Mode.

Condensing the form of a divine dragon?

I tried Star Show a couple of times, but the pressure was immense.

Especially without the cooperation of someone with a dragon vein consciousness.

Therefore, the first thing to do is to address the issue of the concept of dragon veins.

The Under-Star Show was prepared for six months.

October 20, Konoha 41.

Inside the quiet room, Hoshino and Tsunade sat facing each other. As chakra entered Hoshino's body, Tsunade also appeared in the sealed space.

Tsunade's eyes swept over the four-tailed, seven-tailed, and eight-tailed dragons one by one, and then fell on the largest dragon vein.

The dragon vein appears in the shape of a purple dragon, but it is incomplete.

In other words, the dragon vein is not a complete dragon at this moment. Only the dragon's head and eyes truly possess the dragon's form, while the rest is presented as water-like purple chakra.

It's like a giant dragon lurking in the sea, with only its eyes showing.

Tsunade turned to look at Hoshino Hide: "Hide, the consciousness of the Dragon Vein is actually very vast. Doing this could pose a huge hidden danger."

Sealing is not foolproof, especially against a powerful entity like a dragon vein.

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "Indeed, it's not foolproof."

"Ideally, we should cut off a portion of the dragon vein's soul, but for an existence like the dragon vein, consciousness and chakra are one. Cutting off a portion of the dragon vein's power is equivalent to cutting off a large part of its power."

Xingxia Xiu had once considered using the Corpse Demon Sealing Technique to seal a portion of the Dragon Vein's chaotic consciousness.

But this means weakening the power of the dragon vein.

Just like Minato Namikaze sealed the Nine-Tails, it split in two.

Therefore, Xingxia Xiu rejected this idea and temporarily sealed the chaotic memories of the dragon vein, leaving only the purest part to gradually cultivate.

This will prevent the dragon vein's power from being depleted.

But as Tsunade said, there will be hidden dangers.

"First, cultivate this pure consciousness and let it grow continuously. When it becomes strong enough, actively release the chaotic memories little by little so that the dragon vein can digest them."

Xingxia Xiudao.

Tsunade asked, "Is this feasible?"

Xingxia Xiu shrugged: "You'll only know if you try."

"At worst, I can just split it up again after I awaken the Rinnegan."

Tsunade nodded in agreement.

However, upon hearing this conversation, the four-tailed, seven-tailed, and eight-tailed creatures all turned to look.

"Starry Night Show, are you capable of awakening the Rinnegan?"

"That's absolutely impossible!"

"Didn't you say before that Madara Uchiha awakened the Rinnegan?"

The three tailed beasts spoke in succession.

Hoshino Hide turned to look at the three tailed beasts and laughed, "You'll find out then."

He was too lazy to waste words trying to persuade the Four-Tails and the others, nor did he need their cooperation.

If Kurama hadn't been inside Kushina, Hoshino Shu would have captured Kurama and locked it in a cage long ago.

Ignoring the tailed beasts, Hoshino led Tsunade into the sealed area of ​​the dragon vein, then clasped his hands together, and wooden stakes rose up one after another.

There were nine wooden stakes in total, with Hoshino and Tsunade each standing on one of them.

Immediately afterwards, Xingxia Xiu used multiple shadow clones, and there was also a clone on each of the other seven wooden stakes.

"Tsunade, let's begin!" said Hoshino.

Tsunade nodded, then quickly formed seals with her hands.

Xingxia Xiu then formed a hand seal.

Once the hand seals were completed, countless runes appeared beneath Xingxia Xiu and the others, then rapidly spread, forming a massive spell that enveloped the entire dragon vein's power.

The dragon vein's power instinctively sensed danger and surged violently, but it was suppressed by the Wood Release technique and could not resist.

Snapped!

Xingxia Xiu clasped her hands together: "Seal!"

A burst of brilliant light erupted, enveloping the purple dragon vein power, which was as vast as the ocean.

When the light faded, the power of the dragon vein was calm and still, with only a pair of eyes moving underwater, looking out with a bewildered expression.

The seal is complete!

After dispelling the clone, Hoshino said to Tsunade, "Next, it's time to take care of the child."

Tsunade chuckled upon hearing this: "How do you plan to train him?"

Xingxia Xiu already had a plan in mind: "First, use illusion magic to lure him into a dream."

"Once he grows a bit and takes on a complete dragon form, we'll sign a spirit contract with him and release him to communicate with others."

Tsunade nodded and walked out, saying, "I'll get back to work now; that jutsu is almost finished."

Hoshino nodded, watched Tsunade disappear, then leaped down and landed on the water formed by the power of the dragon vein.

The surrounding wooden stakes slowly sank and disappeared.

At this moment, the eyes of the Dragon Vein Power came to Hoshino Hide. Hoshino Hide squatted down, their eyes met, and the Sharingan genjutsu was activated, directly taking the bewildered Dragon Vein consciousness into the dream.

In the dream, Hoshino Xiu created a mini dragon using the Yin-Yang Escape Technique.

Its entire body is covered in purple dragon scales, it has a pair of golden eyes, and a pair of crystal-clear purple antlers.

Xingxia Xiu's design is completely based on the shape of the dragon from his hometown.

Of course, it wasn't an ordinary dragon, but an Yinglong.

Yinglong has wings.

Therefore, the small dragon vein also has a pair of tiny, colorful wings.

"From now on, your name will be Yinglong!"

Xingxia Xiu said so.

Yinglong remained oblivious.

Xingxia Xiu didn't mind, placed Yinglong on his shoulder, and began to wander through the streets and alleys, traveling through the ninja world in his dream.

This ninja world is constructed using Hoshino Shu's own memories.

Or rather, Xingxia Xiu used hypnosis to simultaneously target both himself and Yinglong, pulling them into his own dream.

Therefore, although the dream world is far less realistic than the Infinite Tsukuyomi, the places that Hoshino Shu visited seem very real, including the characters.

For example, Konoha, Sand Village, and Rain Village.

Xingxiaxiu was like raising a child, slowly teaching Yinglong to speak, and through a dream society, gradually helping his nascent consciousness to grow.

Although this process is very difficult.

Before we knew it, it was September 20th.

At midnight, the status bar refreshed again.

[Medical Master] was taken down without any surprise.

After glancing at it, Xingxia Xiu looked at the new status bar.

Current status: Turning stone into gold

Note: You can turn stones into gold. Congratulations, you'll never lack money again.

Refresh countdown: 364 days 23:58:49

Looking at the new status, Xingxia Xiu couldn't help but blink.

Turning stone into gold is a very amazing ability.

but……

Hoshino glanced at Tsunade sleeping beside her, but did not go out to try.

The next day, after Tsunade went to Konoha Hospital, Hoshino Hide found a secluded spot and pointed at a rock.

The next moment, the stone turned into a golden stone.

Xingxia Xiu stepped forward, squatted down, and pinched her hand, leaving a fingerprint.

Will this be a permanent change?

Xingxia Xiu pondered for a moment, then put the gold stone into the sealed space within his body.

Since acquiring the "Hidden Universe in the Abdomen" state, the sealed space within his abdomen can now seal physical matter, not just chakra, just like a sealed scroll.

His ninja tools, such as ninja swords, explosive tags, and important ninjutsu scrolls and data are all backed up in the sealed space within his body.

Having received the gold and stone, Xingxia Xiu secretly pondered how to overcome this situation.

The ability to turn stone into gold can directly transform the ground into gold, rendering the ability to burrow underground useless.

However, if this ability to directly alter matter were done using chakra... Hoshino Shigehisa scratched his head in disbelief.

This is a thousand times more difficult than developing the Steel Escape Technique.

Even Xingxia Xiu felt that developing a Golden Escape technique wouldn't be enough to overcome this state.

"Never mind, let's just wait and see."

The latest novel is first published here!

Xingxia Xiu sighed.

The situation is good, but difficult to manage.

However, the idea of ​​turning stone into gold reminded Hoshino Shu of Steel Release.

I'll have to give it a try.

And... Ice Release!

A master of Water Release combined with a master of Wind Release has a relatively high chance of achieving Ice Release.

Moreover, the ninja world possesses Ice Release.

Come back home.

Back home, Xingxia Xiu raised an eyebrow slightly.

Upon entering the courtyard, a Root ninja emerged from the ground: "Lord Hideaki, Lord Danzo summons you."

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "I understand."

Its powerful sensory abilities radiated outwards, and it quickly sensed Danzo's chakra.

With a whoosh, Xingxia Xiu's figure disappeared.

Outside the abandoned temple filled with broken Buddha statues, Hoshinoshita appeared in front of Danzo.

Ok?

Hoshino noticed that Danzo's attire had changed.

It became the most familiar image in his memory.

His forehead was wrapped in bandages, and his right eye was also bandaged, covering half of his face.

There was also a bandage on the right hand.

Orochimaru's experiment was a success!

Hideaki Hoshino.

Danzo also noticed Hoshino's gaze and said, "Shu, what you said before, that the Sharingan can suppress the First Hokage's cells, is indeed true."

Hoshita Hide smiled and said, "Congratulations on obtaining the power of Wood Release!"

Danzo said in a deep voice, "No, I do not possess the same powerful Wood Release as you."

"While the Sharingan suppressed the power of the First Hokage's cells, it also imposed limitations on them."

Hoshino immediately realized that Danzo was unable to properly integrate the two powers.

The mutual restraint actually limits the power of Wood Release.

However, this is also because Danzo himself could not properly control the First Hokage's cells, and could only use them simply by employing the method of yin and yang counteracting each other.

However, using the Sharingan to unleash Izanagi shouldn't be a problem.

Did Danzo obtain Izanagi?

Even within the Uchiha clan, forbidden techniques like Izanagi are known to only a very small number of people.

Maybe only the patriarch knows.

Otherwise, with so many Uchiha Sharingan with three tomoe, it's impossible that a life-saving ultimate genjutsu like Izanagi wouldn't have become famous throughout the ninja world.

Danzo looked at Hoshino and said, "The Sharingan cannot be turned off, which consumes a lot of chakra."

"Xiu, I need your cells to further study the original cells."

His current situation is neither good nor bad. His three-tomoe Sharingan is good, but it's not enough to give him a qualitative leap in strength.

Unless it's someone like Madara Uchiha with the Mangekyou Sharingan, but no one in the current Uchiha clan has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Even the three-tomoe Sharingan is something that is hard to obtain.

According to Orochimaru, that's why we met today.

However, this time Danzo's goal wasn't just for Hoshino Shu's cells.

At the same time, it was also a test.

Danzo felt uneasy because Hoshino Shu's strength was too great.

Would such a person still be loyal to me?

Therefore, Danzo's feelings towards Hoshino Shu were very complicated.

He realized he was losing control of the Star Show, but he couldn't believe it.

After all, Xing Xiaxiu was very respectful to him, supported his plans, and was even more radical than himself, but had no intention of retaliating against him.

With his eyes fixed on Hoshino, Danzo silently awaited a response.

Xingxia Xiu secretly chuckled to herself.

That old fox has gone mad.

Don't you know that this will ruin things?

Isn't this forcing him to be unfaithful?

Sure enough, as long as someone has a persona, it will eventually crumble.

Hoshino sighed inwardly, "Orochimaru's research abilities are very strong. I don't trust him to study my cells."

Danzo said, "I guarantee that your cells will not leak out."

Hoshino suddenly laughed: "Danzo, your thinking is too naive."

Danzo frowned, anger rising within him.

betray!

That bastard betrayed me!

Sensing Danzo's anger, Hoshino Shu said calmly, "Actually, I've always been playing the role of a loyalist, and I intend to continue playing it, but unfortunately you have to ruin my performance."

"Perhaps you're used to being high and mighty, and you can't realize just how powerful I am now."

"Since that's the case, let's stop acting and lay our cards on the table!"

Danzo stared coldly at Hoshinoshita Hide and shouted, "You want to betray me, betray Root?"

"Aren't you afraid I'll expose your ambitions?"

"Aren't you afraid of exposing the fact that you stole your village comrade's Sharingan?"

Hoshino looked at Danzo with a calm expression: "Oh?"

"Where's the evidence?"

"Who would believe you?"

"Sandaime?"

"Does he trust you?"

Danzo frowned, feeling a little flustered.

Because he also realized that the current Star Show carries significant weight.

Hoshita Hide looked at the flustered Danzo with a hint of mockery: "Besides, even if you admit it, it's nothing. After all, I was your subordinate back then, and I stole my comrade's eyes on your orders, Lord Danzo!"

"I can now return the eyes to the Uchiha. As for the dead Uchiha, they deserved to die because they secretly sold ninja tools to the village's enemies."

"Lord Danzo, do you think the Third Hokage, or the Uchiha clan, will turn against me?"

Danzo took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and hissed, "Hoshino Hideaki, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're strong. You're not indispensable to the village."

Xingxia Xiu shook her head: "You're too ignorant."

"What you know, I know; what I know, you don't know."

"You don't have the guts to flip the table, but I do."

"Come on, let me show you just how strong I really am!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a wooden figure under Hoshino's feet rose up from the ground in the blink of an eye, a wooden dragon coiled around its body, and then the dragon's head came to Danzo's front and looked down at him.

Xingxia Xiu stood atop the wooden figure, hands behind his back.
