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

A misty rain.

Xingxia Xiu stood atop the tower, gazing in the direction of the mountain cemetery.

Nagato's Rinnegan has been revealed, and he is constantly exerting influence on Nagato.

Xingxiaxiu is very curious: Is Madara Uchiha still able to sit still?

Madara Uchiha's plan was to guide Nagato to collect the Tailed Beasts and revive himself.

But anyone who isn't an idiot wouldn't do that.

Therefore, after creating White Zetsu, Madara Uchiha also created Black Zetsu.

He even guided Obito Uchiha into darkness to carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan in his place, and guided Nagato.

Of course, without Obito Uchiha, Madara Uchiha's plans wouldn't have been affected too much.

For Madara Uchiha, Black Zetsu was his trump card.

Of course, that's just his opinion.

But no matter what, Nagato is very important.

At least for Madara Uchiha right now.

……

Underground at the mountain cemetery.

The swirling White Zetsu continued his tirade: "Lord Madara, Nagato's Rinnegan has begun to manifest, which will undoubtedly attract the attention of that Star-Side Shuu."

"What if he takes the Rinnegan?"

"Moreover, even without taking the Rinnegan, that guy's influence over Nagato is constantly increasing."

"Furthermore, although Amegakure has seemingly broken ties with Konoha, Hoshinobu still firmly controls a portion of Amegakure's power, especially Nagato. This is a significant discovery."

Madara Uchiha opened his eyes: "So, the one who took the Seven-Tails wasn't that leader of Amegakure."

Whirlpool White Zetsu nodded: "That Black Rain does indeed have some problems."

"Considering that one of our clones was captured by Xingxiaxiu, we have to prepare for the worst."

Madara Uchiha asked, "Has that guy named Hoshino Shizuka already mastered some of the White Zetsu's abilities?"

Whirlpool White Zetsu nodded: "I'm afraid so."

"In that case, the changes in the black rain can be explained."

"If that's really the case, that guy has already collected the Four-Tails and the Seven-Tails, and it looks like he's planning to collect the other tailed beasts too!"

Madara Uchiha said calmly, "In that case, you may go and make preparations."

"Prepare more chakra."

White Zetsu immediately agreed: "No problem. Although we are not good at fighting, it's not a problem if we just need to collect some chakra."

……

Xingxia Xiu waited in Amegakure for more than half a month, but he did not see Uchiha Madara, or Black Zetsu, White Zetsu or the like.

Madara Uchiha, that old coin, seems even more stable than he was.

Adhering to the principle of "I will not move unless the enemy moves," Hoshino Shu decided to put things aside for the time being, continuing his own training while assisting Nagato in developing the power of the Rinnegan.

Assisting Nagato is also a form of training for Hoshino Shu, because he will awaken the Rinnegan in the future, and it is uncertain whether he will be able to use it as he wishes, and he may end up like Nagato.

After all, the Sharingan came from Madara Uchiha.

Time flew by and it was September of Konoha Year 43.

In the quiet room, an amber vase was placed in front of Xingxia Xiu.

This was taken back from the Golden Horn and Silver Horn in a parallel world.

Now, Xingxiaxiu plans to unload the goods first.

Although he became more and more proficient in mastering the power of the dragon veins, the more tailed beasts he had, the greater the pressure he faced when traversing time and space.

So, after opening the lid of the amber bottle, Xingxia Xiu placed the seven tails inside her body and sealed them away.

Next time, he'll bring the Seven-Tails back from a parallel world.

During this period, Xingxia Xiu traveled between Konoha and Amegakure, and also made two trips to a parallel world.

In that parallel world, Obito Uchiha did a very good job, having already controlled the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, using genjutsu.

Without the Three-Tails, Yagura became the Six-Tails Jinchuriki.

It can be said that the six tails are already halfway to being obtained.

Meanwhile, in parallel worlds, apart from the Seven-Tails, all other creatures already have Jinchuriki.

One-tailed Fukufuku, two-tailed Yukito, five-tailed Han, six-tailed Yagura, nine-tailed Kushina Uzumaki.

Once all nine tailed beasts are gathered and the Rinnegan is activated, the Gedo Mazo can be summoned, followed by the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

The plan is very solid, and the show is proceeding smoothly.

After placing the amber bottle, Xingxia Xiu went outside and saw Tsunade arriving excitedly.

"Show, my technique is complete!"

Xingxia Xiu smiled and said, "Congratulations!"

"Let me show you, I've been looking forward to this for a long time."

Tsunade, her fighting spirit ignited, said, "Let's find an open space!"

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "Follow me!"

The two then disappeared.

In a secluded, open area in Konoha, Hoshino appeared with Tsunade.

Standing face to face, Tsunade formed hand seals.

The next moment, the rhombus-shaped crystal on her forehead, which was sealed with Yin, emitted a purple light. Centered on this crystal, a cursed seal appeared and quickly spread throughout Tsunade's entire body.

"The Yin Seal is broken!"

Tsunade gave a low shout, and her golden ponytail swayed without wind as she released a massive amount of chakra.

"This is the Hundred Healings Technique. When combined with unlocking the Yin Seal and then activating the Creation and Regeneration Technique, one can achieve the level of self-healing without a seal."

Tsunade lowered her hands and explained, "However, the drawback of this technique is that even very small wounds will heal on their own, and cannot be controlled freely."

"At the same time, under such conditions, superhuman strength will also be greatly enhanced."

"This allows me to fight on the front lines even as a medical ninja."

Xingxia Xiu smiled and nodded: "It looks pretty good, let's give it a try."

"Watch out!"

Tsunade shouted, and the ground beneath her feet immediately shattered and sank, while she shot towards Hoshino Shuu.

Boom!

A huge crater was blown open in the ground by Tsunade's punch.

The show under the stars barely managed to avoid it.

Tsunade is incredibly fast, and her strength is even more terrifying than her previous monstrous power.

Under normal circumstances, even Hoshino Shu's speed is not as fast as his. If it weren't for his Sharingan, he might not have been able to dodge it.

Tsunade's attack failed, so she immediately caught up and slammed her leg down, creating another large crater in the ground.

It's sizzling!

With his body crackling with electricity, Xingxia Xiu entered Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

For a moment, two figures flashed across the open ground, and with each pause, a booming sound erupted, leaving large craters in the ground.

In normal mode, Hoshino Shu's speed is not fast enough, but after activating Lightning Release Chakra Mode, his speed has slightly surpassed Tsunade's.

Of course, his Lightning Release Chakra Mode is not as good as the Third Raikage and the Fourth Raikage.

However, Xingxia Xiu did not use the abilities such as [Freedom of Weight].

After the fight, Hoshino Hide also estimated Tsunade's strength.

It is already no less than his superhuman strength plus the strength of nine oxen and two tigers, and may even exceed it.

very good!

A moment later, the two stopped.

Tsunade, without even taking a breath, said with slight dissatisfaction, "My speed is still too slow."

Xingxia Xiu chuckled, "Is it possible that I'm just too fast?"

"In normal conditions, I'm not as fast as you."

"Besides, you're a medical ninja."

"Besides me, is there any medical ninja stronger than you?"

Hashirama Senju doesn't count!

Tsunade laughed, finding Hoshino Shige's words quite agreeable.

As for Xingxiaxiu being better than himself.

How can a man be his own if he's not better than himself?

After removing the Hundred Healings Technique and re-sealing the Yin Seal, Tsunade's ponytail fell down.

Hoshino stepped forward and used his Dragon Vein Chakra to replenish Tsunade's Yin Seal chakra, then asked with a smile, "What are your plans for your training ahead?"

Tsunade said, "Of course, we'll try Sage Mode first."

Xingxia Xiu asked, "Besides Sage Mode?"

Tsunade shook her head: "I haven't thought about it yet."

Xingxia Xiu said, "We can consider it further."

"There's still a long way to go in the future; we can't just stand still, can we?"

"Perhaps you could take on a few disciples?"

Tsunade shook her head: "Forget it, I don't have the patience to teach disciples right now."

"As for the future, we need to think about it further."

Hoshino suggested, "Perhaps we could try developing a medical bloodline limit; my Tensui Body is quite good."

The latest novel is first published here!

Tsunade nodded, then smiled and said, "Let's go soak in a hot spring. It's been a long time since I've relaxed."

Xingxia Xiu immediately put his arm around her waist and whispered, "Don't beg for mercy too quickly later."

Tsunade immediately blushed and glared fiercely at Hoshino Hideaki.

That bastard is like an animal; she's no match for him at all.

……

Time flew by and it was already the early morning of September 20th.

The status bar that Xingxiaxiu was looking forward to refreshed again, and the "Steady as a Rock" message was finally gone.

Current status: Likes to teach

Note: In this state, you enjoy giving guidance to others, and you receive corresponding feedback when your students or disciples improve after receiving your guidance.

Refresh countdown: 364 days 23:58:49

Seeing the new status, Xingxia Show was overjoyed.

It turned out to be a pleasant surprise.

It's a pity it didn't appear sooner.

Geniuses like Minato Namikaze have already emerged from seclusion.

Fortunately, there's still Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Nawaki.

And then there's Nagato's side.

Suddenly, Hoshino thought: Could it be that by guiding Nagato to continuously master the power of the Rinnegan, he could help himself awaken the Rinnegan?

I received some feedback, but it's a bit vague!

We need to try more.

Also, we need to take on more disciples.

The key is.

How can this state be permanently fixed?

Xingxia Xiu was deep in thought.

"Feedback... if we disregard the inherent mechanisms of the state, then there is only one possibility."

"That is to draw inspiration from students and disciples, thereby improving oneself, which fits the current state."

"That's a bit difficult; it also depends on luck."

Xingxia Xiu frowned slightly.

However, if you can get rid of the tendency to "like to teach others," then you won't be practicing alone anymore; instead, many people will be helping you with your practice.

I don't know if Kakashi graduated early.

This is a promising talent.

Sarutobi Asuma is also capable of being trained.

There are also Might Guy, Genma Shiranui, and others.

The more students and disciples, the better.

The next day.

Hoshino arrived at the Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was quite surprised by Hoshino Hide's arrival: "Hide, is there something important you need?"

Unless it's something important, Xingxia Show usually doesn't come here.

Could it be related to Madara Uchiha?

Many thoughts raced through Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind, and his expression turned serious.

Hoshino, however, asked casually, "Third Hokage, have any geniuses emerged from the Ninja Academy recently?"

"I remember that Sakumo-senpai's son was also at the Ninja Academy before."

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for a moment, took a drag of his cigarette, and then asked, "Is it that the root is expanding?"

Xingxia Xiu shook his head: "The current size of the Root is sufficient."

"I'm bored, so I want to train more capable people for the village."

In reality, he doesn't have very strict control over Root right now. He delegates most things to Ryoma Aburame, Daichi Shimura, and others, while also reporting to the Hokage Building.

He only needs to make decisions on major issues, and sometimes he even reports directly to Hiruzen Sarutobi for a decision.

Hoshino Shu is not Danzo; he doesn't need to turn Root into his own private army.

Instead, he is now gradually bringing Root back under the Hokage's leadership, preparing for Tsunade's future succession.

The fact that he was "bored" left Hiruzen Sarutobi speechless.

"Show, there are a few S-rank missions you can undertake."

Hiruzen Sarutobi gave Hideaki Hoshino something to do.

Hoshino Hide quickly waved his hand: "Third Hokage, Minato and Shinnosuke can handle it, there's no need for me."

"I think I'll stick to teaching students!"

"They are the future of the village."

"With a few more Minato and Shinnosuke, we won't be afraid even if the village is besieged in the future."

The saying "Sarutobi Hitomi beheaded" makes sense.

However, Hoshino is too young and strong. It's fine for him to be a Jonin leader, but it seems he wants to teach students at the Ninja Academy.

This is such a waste of talent.

Those who don't know the situation might think that he, as Hokage, is incapable of recognizing and appointing capable people.

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a bit of a headache, but thinking of Jiraiya, that wicked disciple, he also felt quite gratified.

Fortunately, Xingxia Xiu knew how to handle things and didn't go off to roam the world.

Hiruzen Sarutobi then flipped through the documents, took one out and handed it to Hoshino Hideaki, saying, "Kakashi is very talented and already has the strength of a genin. He's among the students who applied for early graduation this time."

Xingxiaxiu took the list and browsed it.

They are all familiar names.

Kakashi, Obito Uchiha, Rin Nohara, Asuma Sarutobi, Kurenai Yuhi, Aoba Yamashiro, Might Guy, Ebisu, Genma Shiranui.

They're all promising talents; at the very least, they'll achieve the rank of Special Jonin.

Hoshita Hide looked up at Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Third Hokage, why did the Second Hokage set the school year at six years?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "For most ordinary students, it takes six years to reach the threshold of genin."

"Furthermore, a person's personality only becomes relatively mature around the age of twelve."

"However, for a genius, six years' worth of content doesn't need to be covered in six years."

"Like Kakashi, he can master that knowledge in just one year at school."

"Therefore, apart from wartime, it is also common for geniuses to graduate early, as they can grow faster during missions."

Xingxia Xiu nodded.

The profession of ninja is indeed practical and requires a lot of experience.

Being mentored by an experienced ninja after graduation is a classic example of an experienced person guiding a newbie.

Looking at the list, Hoshino said, "The ninja world is relatively peaceful now, so there's not much need for them to graduate early."

"I'll teach these brats a lesson!"

"We don't need to graduate for now; let's use the guise of special instruction!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was taken aback: "All of them?"

Are you alone?

The Belt and Road Initiative is the best option.

It was also promoted after Hiruzen Sarutobi took over, because human energy is limited.

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "I have enough energy."

"The ninjutsu and bloodline limits I have mastered also need to be passed down."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, thinking of Minato Namikaze and his eldest son, immediately nodded: "Then I'll leave them to you!"
