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

Chapter 207 Obito's Surprise, Steel Release!

Doppelgangers, stand-ins, and under-the-scenes shows are also highly valued.

Such an ability can still be useful even in an era where combat power is disrupted.

Especially physical clones like shadow clones.

So during the break, Hoshino explained the clone technique, followed by the substitution technique.

After the others learned the Shadow Clone Technique, they received special training in clones and substitutes during team training.

While teaching Kakashi and others included grueling, test-style training in ninjutsu, Shigeaki also placed great emphasis on fundamental principles.

Time had passed unnoticed, and it was already March of Konoha Year 44.

When Xiu saw Obito Uchiha that day, he immediately felt that this kid was a bit different.

They always seem so arrogant and domineering.

Sure enough, as soon as the basic training ended and they were resting, this guy confidently announced, "Teacher Xiu, I've developed my ninjutsu!"

This immediately drew everyone's attention.

Sarutobi Asuma and the others were very surprised.

Rin Nohara exclaimed with delight, "Obito, congratulations!"

Obito Uchiha grinned foolishly, then glanced at Kakashi and arrogantly raised his chin.

Hoshita Hide watched with a smile: "Obito, now that you've developed it, why don't you demonstrate it to everyone!"

"yes!"

Obito Uchiha couldn't wait any longer, and he leaped up to stand on the open ground.

He assumed a stance, raised his fists, slightly arched his body, and uttered a low shout: "Twin Dragon Fire Fist!"

The next moment, under the gaze of Xingxia Xiu and the others, flames erupted from his fists, engulfing them in flames. Then, with a boom, the flames expanded and changed shape, forming two dragon heads.

A dragon head in the form of flames envelops a fist!

As Xingxia Xiu looked at the figure, a name immediately popped into her mind.

Hinata Hyuga, Twin Lion Fists!

The two have the same effect.

Of course, Hinata's Twin Lion Fist doesn't involve nature transformation; instead, it's similar to the Rasengan, a simple transformation of chakra form.

The Twin Dragon Fire Fist of Uchiha Obito before us is a combination of Fire Release nature transformation and form transformation.

"Well done!"

The Star Show is highly recommended.

Kakashi looked surprised, and Sarutobi Asuma and the others were even more surprised.

Because Obito Uchiha usually seemed unreliable, it was unexpected that he developed his own ninjutsu before them.

How could this not be shocking and attract attention?

At this moment, Obito Uchiha was overjoyed.

He was really enjoying all the attention he was getting!

Hmph, I, Uchiha Obito, am also a genius!

……

After looking him over, Hoshino said to Kakashi, "Kakashi, you will be Obito's opponent."

"yes!"

Kakashi got up and went to the opposite side of Obito Uchiha.

Obito Uchiha scoffed, "Kakashi, you'd better watch out. This ninjutsu of mine is incredibly powerful. If it hits, you're done for!"

Kakashi said calmly, "Try hitting me first!"

Ignoring their banter, Xingxia Xiu announced, "Begin!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Obito Uchiha raised his fist and charged forward.

The battle has officially begun.

Obito Uchiha swung his fists, creating waves of heat that distorted the air and light.

Kakashi's figure flickered, constantly dodging.

Obito Uchiha shouted, "Kakashi, is all you can do is dodge?"

"Use your Chidori!"

As he spoke, Obito Uchiha unleashed a burst of power, shifting his position as he launched a surprise attack from the side.

boom!

With a single punch, the ground exploded, leaving a charred crater.

Kakashi dodged the attack, the flying stones grazing his scalp.

At that moment, Obito Uchiha's feet were also enveloped in flames, which then formed a dragon head shape.

boom!

The ground exploded, and Obito Uchiha's speed increased dramatically.

"This move is called the Double Dragon Step!"

Obito Uchiha shouted.

Xingxia Xiu's eyes lit up: Not bad, not bad!

The others were shocked once again, and Kakashi couldn't help but show surprise. Then, the sound of a chirping bird rang out, and his whole body burst with electricity, and his speed suddenly increased dramatically.

boom!

The ground exploded again, and Obito Uchiha's sudden attack missed once more.

Kakashi, having used Chidori Stream, had his cells activated by Lightning Release, greatly increasing his speed.

The confrontation continues.

Kakashi took out a kunai and used Obito Uchiha's forearm as the point of attack.

Because Obito Uchiha's dragon-shaped flames only covered his fist.

Although Obito Uchiha increased his burst speed with the Twin Dragon Step, his agility was far inferior to Kakashi's with the Chidori Stream.

Taking advantage of his speed, Kakashi quickly achieved his goal.

But just as Kakashi put away his kunai and was about to grab Obito Uchiha's arm and throw him away, Obito gritted his teeth and roared, the dragon head on his hand swelled up, and flames rapidly extended to his arm.

Kakashi was startled and immediately withdrew his hand, retreating rapidly.

Looking at it, Yamashiro Aoba couldn't help but say, "If one could be enveloped in flames, then one would be like Chidori Ryu, combining offense and defense."

Genma Shiranui said, "Fire Release is probably very difficult, as it consumes more energy than Lightning Release. Lightning Release's nature transformation has the characteristic of radiation, but fire does not."

Kurenai and the others nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Hoshino Shu spoke up: "Obito, Kakashi, stop!"

The two stopped in the arena. Obito Uchiha was panting heavily, feeling somewhat unwilling that he had failed to defeat Kakashi.

Hoshino Hide laughed and said, "Obito, you did a great job."

"Your ninjutsu is very suitable for close combat, especially the use of the explosive properties of Fire Release to amplify speed. The sudden increase in explosive power can catch the enemy off guard."

Upon hearing the praise, Obito Uchiha immediately became happy and chuckled foolishly.

However, he did give the Star Show a big surprise.

Indeed, one should not underestimate the wisdom of any individual!

"Everyone can learn from Obito."

"The development of ninjutsu should be tailored to the individual and be practical."

"And the most fundamental direction is change in nature and change in form."

Hoshino naturally hopes that Kakashi and the others can embark on their own paths of developing ninjutsu and making use of their wisdom.

Even excluding the advantage of his "know-it-all" state, the pioneering spirit of Kakashi and others could still provide him with a lot of inspiration.

After their rest, Kakashi and the others continued their training with the clone.

Xingxia Xiu was deep in thought in front of the wooden house.

The ninjutsu that Obito Uchiha had just developed gave him some inspiration.

For example, Fire Release Chakra Mode.

Obito Uchiha couldn't cover his entire body with flames for two reasons: one was his chakra reserves, and the other was that he couldn't release chakra from his entire body like the Hyuga clan.

Most people release chakra through their hands, feet, and mouth.

But neither of these points is a problem for Star Show.

In the "Like to be a Teacher" state, Xingxia Xiu directly mastered the Twin Dragon Fire Fist. He raised his hands, and flames from the dragon heads covered his fists, followed by his feet.

Then, starting from his fists and feet, the flames spread rapidly throughout his body, engulfing him in flames in an instant.

"This model is currently useless to me."

Xingxia Xiu transforms into a flame person.

After thinking for a moment, Xingxia Xiu had a thought, and the flames on her hands and feet faded from their dragon head form, while the flames on her head transformed back into their dragon head form.

Then, a dragon head materialized on each of his shoulders.

Snapped!

Xingxia Xiu clasped her hands together, and with a boom, the flames all over her body suddenly turned purple.

However, he had used the power of the dragon vein, and the flames enveloping his body immediately became even stronger.

Immediately afterwards, two flame chakra arms grew from each of Hoshino's armpits, and his three hands simultaneously formed hand seals.

Xingxia Xiu opened its mouth, and the two dragon heads on its shoulders also opened their mouths at the same time, then spewed out flames together, forming a huge purple fireball.

The three fireballs merged to form an even larger fireball, leaving a scorched trail in their wake.

Xingxia Xiu looked on but shook his head.

It's useless, still useless.

However, the inspiration that Obito Uchiha gave him was not useless.

This Fire Release Chakra Mode is useless against Hoshino Shu, but it might work on others.

Moreover...

After thinking for a moment, Hoshino Shizuka activated the Kaleidoscope eye technique, and the purple flames on her body instantly turned purplish-black.

However, it was infused with Amaterasu's black flames.

"Well, it's somewhat useful now."

The latest novel is first published here!

Xingxia Xiu nodded secretly.

In this way, when he uses Fire Release, he can also carry Amaterasu Black Flame, enhancing the power of Fire Release.

This certainly cannot be compared to Kagutsuchi, but it does expand the scope of Amaterasu's applications.

"and……"

A thought flashed through Xingxia Xiu's mind: "It should also be able to be combined with Wind Release Chakra Mode."

"Hmm... Wind Release + Fire Release, which is also known as Scorch Release, Scorch Release Chakra Mode?"

"You can give it a try."

Xingxia Xiu immediately created a clone to try it out.

The Fire Release Chakra Mode has just been created, while the Wind Release Chakra Mode has been mature for a long time. Combining them to form the Scorching Release Chakra Mode shouldn't be too difficult.

Of course, fusing them into the Blazing Release Bloodline Limit makes it a different level of difficulty.

……

Obito Uchiha gave a pleasant surprise, which made Xingxia Xiu even more excited about Kakashi and the others.

Of course, he didn't force things to grow too quickly.

For Kakashi and others, especially Genma Shiranui and his group who were slightly less talented, the basic requirements were also very strict.

Developing ninjutsu also requires a certain foundation.

If Obito Uchiha hadn't mastered Fire Release nature transformation and hadn't undergone several months of intensive chakra control training, the development of the Twin Dragon Fire Fist would have remained nothing more than a pipe dream.

Having ideas but being unable to implement them.

……

Time flies.

In April, Hoshino once again traveled to the parallel world and obtained the Six-Tails from Kirigakure.

In a parallel world that has entered Konoha 48 years ago, Kirigakure has finally entered the era of the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi.

But at this point, Kirigakure had already lost two tailed beasts.

Meanwhile, the Akatsuki organization, which had returned to Amegakure to lie low, had quietly grown considerably stronger.

For example, Kisame, who was still young, was lured into joining Obito Uchiha's group.

There's also Orochimaru, who was arranged to defect and join the Akatsuki organization.

Of course, there are also Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan, who have grown a bit but do not yet have the Rinnegan.

Having successively seized the Seven-Tails and the Six-Tails, the Akatsuki organization has inevitably come into the sights of the major ninja villages.

Everything is proceeding according to plan.

Back in his own world, Hoshino took stock of the tailed beasts.

Three-tailed, two four-tailed, six-tailed, two seven-tailed, eight-tailed, there are now a total of seven tailed beasts.

"Next time, bring back half of the Nine-Tails first."

Xingxia Xiu secretly made a plan.

Stepping out of the study and into the courtyard, Tsunade was still cultivating atop a tree.

At this moment, a mask had appeared on her face, indicating that the Immortal Mode had been initially completed.

Moreover, the Sage Mode is much more perfect than the Starry Night Show; the skin doesn't change, only the same face as Hashirama Senju.

"Um?"

Suddenly, the clone's memories came back.

Xingxia Xiu was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

Steel Release, done!

It's finally done.

It's been several years already.

If you include the initial attempts at cultivation, it would take even longer.

Lightning Release + Earth Release = Steel Release!

"Now the indestructible body can truly live up to its name."

Xingxia Xiu was secretly overjoyed.

Earth Release's indestructible body can be countered by Lightning Release, but Steel Release does not have this weakness.

Of course, Steel Release is not invincible.

Without disturbing Tsunade, Hoshino appeared in an empty training ground near the Root base in a blink of an eye.

With his hands clasped together, Xingxia Xiu's chakra fused to form Steel Release chakra, and his skin quickly hardened, turning silver-gray.

After the skin comes the hair, muscles and bones, and then the internal organs.

Steel Release - Indestructible Vajra Body!

Putting his hands down, Xingxia Xiu looked down at himself and subconsciously thought of a character: Colossus!

"I possess the strength of nine oxen and two tigers, and I can control the force of my movements at will..."

Xingxia Xiu stretched his limbs, then gathered his strength and slammed a punch down onto the ground.

Click~

The ground cracked and spread rapidly, engulfing the entire training field.

Then, with a loud bang, the cracked training ground sank, and a layer of gravel appeared on the originally solid ground.

"Very good, very powerful!"

Hoshita smiled, then deactivated his steel-transformed state and injected his steel-style chakra into the ground.

The next moment, the ground rapidly hardened from where he stood, and then spread throughout the entire training field.

Steel Release - Turns the earth into steel!

Earth Release: Heart Decapitation - Earth Release ninjutsu such as Earth Reflection Fish will be rendered useless by this move.

and also.

After thinking for a moment, Xingxia Xiu erected a steel prison.

This is a ninjutsu imitating Wood Release.

Xingxia Xiu raised his hand and touched the steel prison cell. Immediately, there was a crackling sound and an electric arc flashed on the steel.

Yes, this prison is electrified.

Steel Release: Steel Prison!

"The indestructible body does not necessarily need to be hardened from the inside out; it can be used in conjunction with the Lightning Release Chakra Mode."

"If all I need is skin and bone tempering..."

Xingxia Xiu thought about trying it out.

The skin and bones were strengthened, followed by a full-body electric shock.

It's sizzling!

Xingxia Xiu's figure disappeared from its original spot and moved quickly around the field.

Even though the Indestructible Body can increase speed through the ability to control weight, it is not as comprehensive as the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

Lightning Release Chakra Mode can also enhance reaction speed.

Moreover, in this state, the ability to control weight freely can be added on top of it.

At the same time, muscles can also unleash chakra bursts without affecting the exertion of superhuman strength.

While steel-boned bones and skin enhance their defensive capabilities, they also increase their ability to withstand counter-attacks.

Indestructible body + superhuman strength + immense power + agility + Lightning Release Chakra Mode... How strong is it?

Could it destroy the fully-formed Susanoo?

Xingxia Xiu couldn't help but feel a little eager to try it out.
