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

Chapter 197 Uchiha Obito! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

Uchiha Shigedai acted swiftly; by 3 PM, the list and the individuals had been delivered to Root by Uchiha Fugaku.

Although there were only three people, all three had activated the three-complex skill, and they were all quite young, with the oldest being only twenty-seven years old.

It can be said that all three of them were geniuses of the Uchiha clan.

Hoshino Hideaki has already informed Hiruzen Sarutobi and directly incorporated the three Uchiha into Root, making them Root elites.

Indeed, even within Root, there aren't many who can match the combat power of these three Uchiha.

It's important to know that once an Uchiha awakens three tomoe, they've essentially reached the Jonin level.

With equal combat strength, it would take at least two people to deal with such an Uchiha.

The Uchiha clan's arrogance was not without reason.

The next day.

Hideaki Hoshino and Tsunade attended Danzo's funeral together, their faces solemn and heavy.

No one who didn't know the situation would have guessed that Danzo was the one who killed him.

After Danzo's funeral, Hoshino-shu's life returned to peace, and he devoted himself to his spiritual practice.

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed since the status was updated, and the stone that was previously turned into gold by Xingxiaxiu has finally returned to its original state.

In other words, the effect of turning stone into gold only lasts for seven days.

However, even with only seven days, you can do a lot.

For example, trying to cripple a country's economy.

Although gold in the ninja world is not currency itself, it is a precious metal that is linked to currency and can be used as a general equivalent.

is it necessary?

After careful consideration, Xingxia Xiu abandoned his idea of ​​using Midas to bring down other countries.

Because the consequence of this is war.

Konoha isn't in a hurry right now.

……

Time flew by and it was August. Xingxiaxiu took Yinglong into her dreams every day and taught her repeatedly in her dreams. Finally, she was able to teach Yinglong to act like a two-year-old child.

Although his speech wasn't very fluent, at least he could pronounce "Master Xiu" quite smoothly.

This is a good trend; Star Show is becoming increasingly meticulous in its training.

Time passed by little by little.

Although Hoshino Shu has taken control of Root, he rarely goes on missions, as if he were an old Danzo.

Gradually, Hoshino Shu's reputation began to become legendary, while the reputation of Konoha's Anbu grew louder and louder.

The ninja world appears calm and peaceful, but undercurrents are surging beneath the surface.

Each ninja village is seizing the time to restore its strength, and all eyes are on Konoha.

Even the Hidden Mist Village, which had previously closed itself off from the world, was no exception.

Finally, the time came for the status bar to refresh.

Unsurprisingly, the "Turning Stone into Gold" status was not achieved.

Current status: Steady and pragmatic approach

Note: In this state, you are as calm as a mountain, proceeding step by step with caution.

Refresh countdown: 364 days 23:58:49

The new status was rather lackluster; Xingxiaxiu glanced at it and then set it aside.

Time continues to move forward.

Gradually, even in Konoha, Hoshino Shu could be described as living a secluded life.

But in reality, the Star Show began to spend long periods of time in a parallel world.

……

In a parallel world, in Konoha year 46.

Driven by the secret machinations of Hideaki Hoshino and Black Zetsu, the Third Shinobi World War broke out.

The Hidden Mist Village, Hidden Suna Village, Hidden Rock Village, and Hidden Cloud Village simultaneously launched an attack on Konoha.

The Sand Village invaded the Land of Rivers, aiming to seize Konoha's interests there.

The Hidden Stone Village split into two groups, with the main force attacking Konoha from the direction of the Land of Rain.

They marched all the way from the Land of Grass to attack Konoha.

Meanwhile, the Cloud Village's army marched south.

For a moment, it felt as if the First Shinobi World War was being replayed.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi was under immense pressure, he remained calm and composed, deploying his troops steadily, thanks to the presence of Hideaki Hoshino.

Tsunade and Orochimaru head to the battlefield in the Land of Rivers, while Jiraiya and Homura Mitokado head to the battlefield in the Hidden Clouds. In the two battlefields in the Hidden Stone Village, Hideaki Hoshino leads a team to the Land of Rain, while the Jonin Yomotsuki Mimura holds the border in the Land of Grass, and then the now-grown Minato Namikaze passes through the Land of Grass, a key logistics base for the Hidden Stone Village.

The land of rain.

June is the rainy season, and torrential rain is falling.

Xingxia Xiu stood in mid-air, looking at the Iwa ninja army opposite him.

There are probably a thousand Iwa ninja, but Hoshino Hide is only familiar with two of them.

Rōshi, the Jinchūriki of the Four-Tails, and Kōtsuchi, the son of the Third Tsuchikage.

The Third Tsuchikage did not come. In the parallel timeline, although Hoshino Shuu displayed amazing strength in the last Shinobi World War, he had not actually used the powerful Wood Release, nor had he openly stolen any Tailed Beasts.

Therefore, Onoki did not appear on the battlefield, but instead sent the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, along with a thousand ninja soldiers, to deal with Hoshino Hideaki.

The Third Tsuchikage felt this configuration was sufficient.

The show under the stars in the sky felt a bit lacking.

None of the Five-Tails Jinchuriki have come.

The current Five-Tails Jinchuriki, Han, is only about thirteen years old, unlike Roshi, who is in his prime.

"Then let's take down the Four-Tails first..."

The star-studded show in the sky suddenly swooped down, accompanied by a roar, and a ring of air appeared outside its body.

"So fast!"

Huang Tu gasped inwardly, but his hands quickly formed a hand seal.

shhhhhh!

A barrage of rock bullets rained down on Xingxiaxiu, which was hurtling towards them at high speed.

However, Hoshino Hide, who had already activated his indestructible body, charged directly into the Iwa ninja camp despite the dense barrage of rock bullets.

boom!

One of the Iwa ninjas was stomped into the ground by Hoshino Shuu, the terrifying force causing the surrounding soil to explode.

It's sizzling!

Lightning crackled around him as his Lightning Release Chakra Mode materialized. Xingxia Xiu made a grasping motion with his right hand, summoning his ninja sword into his grasp.

As the sound of a thousand birds chirping rang out, Xingxia Xiu's figure vanished from the spot, causing the sharp rock pillars that were rising from the ground to miss their mark.

The lightning spread, and wherever it touched, the Iwa ninja fell like wheat being harvested.

Hoshino Shu's speed was extremely fast. He used the Chidori Blade, and even the Iwa ninja's hardening technique could not stop his ninja sword.

Lightning Release counters Earth Release.

At this moment, Xingxiaxiu was like a thunderous beast, rampaging through the crowd, invincible.

On a bare cliff far from the battlefield, Black Zetsu was watching the battle. Looking at Hoshino, who seemed to have turned into lightning, he suddenly felt that this guy was no less powerful than Uchiha Madara.

"Kill them, kill them all..."

Black Zetsu became excited.

In the midst of the battlefield, Xingxia Xiu suddenly sensed danger approaching from behind and immediately rose into the air.

shhhhhh!

Scarlet tails whistled past Xingxiaxiu's body.

It turned out that the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Rōshi, had already partially transformed into a Tailed Beast. As Hoshino Shige soared into the air, Rōshi opened his mouth, and a small Tailed Beast Ball quickly condensed and then launched with a bang, heading straight for Hoshino Shige.

Upon seeing this, Huang Tu immediately shouted, "Scatter!"

Many Iwa ninja scattered, while Hoshinoshige, in the air, sheathed his ninja sword and unleashed a punch.

Superhuman strength + immense strength + super-heavy rock technique + indestructible body!

Amidst shocked gazes, Hoshino Hide punched the incoming Tailed Beast Ball.

boom!

The Tailed Beast Ball was blasted apart, exploding into a giant ball of light in mid-air.

The Iwa ninja on the ground covered their faces with their hands, but couldn't help squinting at the sky.

When the light faded, Xingxiaxiu was seen unharmed in the air, still enveloped in electric light.

Glug!

One by one, the Iwa ninja swallowed hard: Punching a Tailed Beast Ball, is this even human?

The half-tailed beast form of Old Purple was also stunned for a moment, but then launched another attack, with its four tails shooting towards Hoshino Shizuka in the air.

Xingxia Xiu dodged the attack by falling, but as soon as he landed, one of Lao Zi's tails emerged from the ground and wrapped around his body.

Then three more tails shot out.

Xingxia Xiu scooped up all three tails that were shooting towards her at high speed with both hands: "Come here!"

With a powerful pull of his arms, Xingxia Xiu forcefully dragged Lao Zi towards him.

Bang bang bang!

Every punch landed squarely; Old Purple's tailed beast cloak was shattered by Hoshino Shu's fists, revealing his true form.

Just as he was about to continue, the ground beneath Xingxia Xiu's feet suddenly turned into sand, and he was pulled down to his lowest point.

At the same time, Iwa ninja attacked from the left, right, and behind.

Xingxia Xiu casually tossed Lao Zi away, then clasped his hands together.

I'm done playing!

Wood Release: Advent of the Flower Tree World!

Thick vines sprouted from the ground, supporting Xingxia Xiu's body, and grew rapidly outwards, like countless surging giant pythons, covering the sky and the earth.

The Iwa ninja who charged forward had no time to react before they were engulfed by the vines. Their chakra was quickly drained and turned into nutrients for the vines, causing them to grow even faster.

Rumble!

The earth shook violently, and then cracks appeared.

One after another, stone walls rise abruptly from the ground.

The Iwa ninja used various ninjutsu to alter the terrain in an attempt to block the Wood Release attack.

However, even when the Jonin used Earth Rising Tunnel to summon stone figures, he could not stop the raging green tide; instead, the figures were all submerged.

Old Purple fired the Tailed Beast Ball, and wherever the Tailed Beast Ball passed, vines and trees exploded, actually splitting the still-forming sea of ​​trees in two.

Many Iwa ninja were overjoyed to see this.

But his smile quickly froze, because the destroyed vines had regrown, and before Old Purple could launch his second Tailed Beast Ball, the thick vines had already swept over.

Old Purple brandished his claws and swung his tail, but he was quickly bound by vines, his chakra rapidly draining away, and his tailed beast cloak peeling away bit by bit.

When the forest stopped expanding, of the thousands of Iwa ninja, fewer than two hundred escaped; the rest were all submerged by the forest.

The latest novel is first published here!

"That's...that's terrifying!"

"Such a short time, it's simply... like we're not even in the same dimension!"

The surviving Iwa ninja stared at the boundless, enormous sea of ​​trees before him, his heart filled with shock and fear, unaware that his ninja tools had fallen from his hands.

"This kind of Wood Release technique is beyond our capabilities."

"Retreat! Retreat immediately!"

Huang Tu gritted his teeth and shouted.

One of the Iwa ninja instinctively said, "But the Four-Tails Jinchuriki is still inside!"

Huang Tu said helplessly, "It's impossible for us to rescue him now. We must report the situation here to the Third Boss as soon as possible."

The many Iwa ninja fell silent, then retreated with Huang Tu.

Meanwhile, in the Tree World, Hoshino Shu arrived in front of Rōshi and violently broke the seal, freeing the Four-Tails from Rōshi's body.

Huang Tu and the others, who had not gone far, heard a terrifying roar and stopped and turned around to see a huge creature appear in their line of sight.

"It's a four-tailed beast!"

"The four-tailed beast has gone berserk!"

Iwa-nin was both surprised and delighted.

But the next moment, they heard the Four-Tails roar angrily, its huge body suddenly twisted and contracted, and then disappeared.

The Iwa ninjas looked at each other in bewilderment.

This...this is way too fast!

"Walk!"

The loess soil roared.

He feared that if he didn't leave soon, his entire army might be wiped out.

Within the Tree Realm, Xingxia Xiu sealed the four tails into his own body with practiced ease.

However, within his sealed space, the two four-tailed creatures stared at each other in bewilderment.

The other eight-tailed and seven-tailed creatures stared wide-eyed at the two identical four-tailed creatures.

"What happened?"

Seven-Tailed Fox asked.

The Eight-Tails, with its pair of bull-like eyes, was also completely bewildered: "Hey, Four-Tails, were you split in two before?"

"fart!"

The four tailed beast of this world roared angrily, then addressed the four tailed beast that had just entered: "Hey, who exactly are you?"

"It must be a transformation technique, right?"

The four-tailed creature that had just entered sneered, "You're the imposter!"

"I am the real Sun Wukong!"

Within the sealed space, the two four-tailed creatures were arguing amongst themselves.

The eight-tailed and seven-tailed dragons stared blankly, while the childlike Yinglong sprouted a dragon head to secretly observe and learn.

……

For Xingxia Xiu, sealing the Four-Tails was a piece of cake.

"Next up is the Three-Tails... and while we're at it, let's get the Kaleidoscope too."

Xingxia Xiu left his wooden clone to oversee the overall situation on the battlefield of the Land of Rain, and then flashed to appear beside Black Zetsu.

"Let's go, to the Land of Grass!"

Xingxia Xiudao.

Black Zetsu laughed, "Your Wood Release is no weaker than Hashirama Senju's, is it?"

Xingxia Xiu shook his head: "Almost there."

"If we can capture the Nine-Tails, then things won't be so bad."

Black Zetsu's body slowly sank into the ground: "This is truly something to look forward to!"

After watching Black Zetsu disappear, Hoshino watched as his form changed, transforming into Uchiha Madara.

From this moment forward, Madara Uchiha is online!

With a whoosh, Xingxia Xiu's figure disappeared.

The Land of Grass.

The star-shaped tree trunk merged with the tree trunk, leaving only a pair of eyes visible. Seeing Kakashi blind, Obito Uchiha angrily unleashed his double tomoe and killed the Iwa ninja Jonin, and couldn't help but smile.

Compared to this guy, Erzhuzi is simply unbearable to look at.

In this parallel world, although Hoshino Shu doesn't interfere much with individuals, Konoha's White Fang didn't die, and Kakashi's personality didn't suddenly change.

However, even though they worked together from the beginning, they were facing Jonin from Iwagakure, and the outcome didn't change much.

After all, before awakening his Sharingan, Obito Uchiha's strength was simply not enough to compete with Jonin.

While Kakashi is exceptionally strong, he inevitably falls short when facing two Jonin.

Losing one eye in exchange for Obito Uchiha's two-tomoe Sharingan.

As the two went to rescue Nohara Rin, Hoshino Shu emerged from the tree trunk, followed by Black Zetsu emerging from the ground.

"Black Zetsu, you've lived this long, do you have any other ways to awaken or advance the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan?"

Black Zetsu said, "Even the Sage of Six Paths awakened the Sharingan in this way."

"The Sharingan is the eye that reflects the soul. After reaching the Mangekyou Sharingan, one will unlock a unique eye technique that reflects one's true inner desires."

"At the same time, the Sharingan is also known as the cursed eye, for the same reason."

"It requires extremely strong emotions to unlock and evolve, to reflect one's own will in the eyes."

Xingxia Xiu seemed lost in thought.

Strong emotions can be hatred, anger, love, or other human emotions and desires.

However, to reach the level of opening one's eyes or evolving, a tremendous stimulus is required.

And of all the emotions, how many can compare to the shock of "loss"?

Or it can be broadly categorized as negative emotions.

The most terrifying thing is the sudden outburst of negative emotions.

Xingxiaxiu suddenly had many ideas.

The change in mental state leads to a change in chakra, which in turn affects the optic nerve, and then awakens the Sharingan or advances the Sharingan level.

The key lies in mental will, which is one of the constituent elements of chakra.

In other words, if one masters the means to elevate one's spirit and unleash one's willpower, there is no need for external stimulation.

But... Xingxia Xiu shook his head inwardly, it was difficult.

His research on spirit or soul is quite in-depth, but he has not yet mastered a method to directly enhance a person's spiritual power.

Spiritual elevation often comes through the tempering of will or physical nourishment.

……

Let's go!

Composing herself, Xingxia Xiu followed.

When we arrived, we saw that the cave had collapsed.

Obito Uchiha was buried.

Throughout the entire process, Hoshino watched as Kakashi, who had received the Sharingan, fled with Rin Nohara, only to be rescued by Minato Namikaze who arrived at the scene.

After watching Minato Namikaze and the others go to Kannabi Bridge, Hoshino Hideshige rescued the dying Obito Uchiha and took him back to the Mountain Graveyard.

He has already set up an experimental base here.

The transplantation of Hashirama cells, combined with the medical secret technique Mitsuha Energy, brought Obito Uchiha back from the brink of death.

Leaving behind a wooden clone to wait for Obito Uchiha to wake up, Hideaki Hoshino and Black Zetsu arrived at Kirigakure to secretly carry out the Three-Tails plan.
