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

Chapter 221 The Soul Singer!

Mountain cemetery.

After treating Obito Uchiha's injuries, Hoshino Shu began to faithfully portray the character of Madara Uchiha.

As for Kirigakure, other clones naturally took charge of the plan.

the other side.

Inside Konoha Village, after trying out the original Sharingan, Hoshino Shu's true form replaced them again.

The original form is of course the best, but the Rinnegan is also very important.

After switching back to his eyes, Xingxia Xiu looked inward at the sealed space within his body.

One tail, three tail, double four tail, five tail, seven tail, eight tail.

With only 2, 6, and 9 remaining, we can gather all nine tailed beasts.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have the Rinnegan yet.

Of course, you can also get it from Nagato.

But after thinking about it, Xingxia Xiu decided not to do it.

Take it easy.

While obtaining the Rinnegan from Nagato would be convenient, it would certainly prevent one from fully utilizing its abilities.

Even if one were to use Madara Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan to awaken the Rinnegan, it is highly likely that one would not be able to fully control the power of the Rinnegan.

But since it was initiated on him, it's definitely better than directly transplanting something ready-made.

With the Rinnegan, one possesses greater strength to fight against the Ten-Tails.

"No rush. To be the mastermind behind everything, you need more patience than Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu."

"Collecting the tailed beasts isn't too difficult, but obtaining the Rinnegan will have to wait..."

Xingxia Xiu silently continued to train Yinglong, trying out the Dragon Vein Chakra Mode.

……

The Ninja World War continues.

Having mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique to an unparalleled level, surpassing even its creator Tobirama Senju, Minato Namikaze indeed possessed an incredibly terrifying dominance on the battlefield.

With his own strength, he directly reversed the crisis of Konoha on the battlefield in the Land of Grass and interrupted the plans of Iwagakure.

Although the destruction of the Kannabi Bridge did not cause significant damage to Iwagakure, it did delay their subsequent offensive and caused them to miss their best opportunity.

"Yellow flash... Space-Time Instantaneous Movement Technique!"

In the Tsuchikage's office, Onoki looked at the intelligence report, his brows twitching involuntarily.

After the Star Show ended, a yellow flash appeared.

Minato Namikaze had known about this person for a long time; he had already made a name for himself before.

But it wasn't as terrible as it is now, and the starlight was obscuring the light.

Now that Hoshino Shu is gone, Minato Namikaze suddenly shines brightly, almost blinding Onoki.

What should I do?

Reinforcements!

Reinforcements!

Onoki gave the order with a dark expression.

Even if he personally intervened, he couldn't control Minato Namikaze.

Therefore, the only option is to crush them with overwhelming force.

Even if Minato Namikaze is strong, he's still not a star under the stars; his chakra is limited.

However, this also earned him the title of Konoha's Yellow Flash, making the young Minato Namikaze shine like the sun in this war, even overshadowing the fame of Konoha's White Fang.

Although he faked his death, the Star Show was not indifferent to the war.

While Xingxia Xiu was busy cultivating, he also had clones secretly operating, observing, and even controlling the course of the war.

If Konoha faces a four-on-one situation and suffers heavy losses, Hoshino Shu will intervene.

The reasons for this war were twofold: first, to collect the tailed beasts, and second, to weaken the four great ninja villages.

time flies.

Before they knew it, it was September 20th of Konoha Year 45.

The status bar is refreshed.

As expected, the [Martial Arts Master] was defeated.

Current Status: Soul Singer

Note: In this state, you have an extraordinary sensitivity to the soul; you are a singer who can wield the power of the soul.

Refresh countdown: 364 days 23:59:55

Upon seeing the new status, Xingxia Xiu's pupils contracted.

【A Soulful Singer】!

It even involved the soul, the power he had always dreamed of!

I was overjoyed; I hadn't felt this excited in a long time.

In the ninja world, there is very little research on the soul.

Soul imprisonment techniques, corpse demon sealing techniques, impure earth rebirth techniques, spirit transformation techniques... Of course, if the use of spiritual power is also included, then there are many more.

However, the Star School does not consider illusion and mind transfer techniques to be qualified.

Hashirama Senju's death remains a mystery because his cells were too powerful.

Look at the people who received Hashirama cells; their self-healing abilities are amazing, and their chakra has become powerful.

Even after Hashirama Senju died, his cells were still so powerful. So how did Hashirama Senju die?

When it's just a comic, this contradiction can be ignored, but when it becomes a real thing, it must have some basis in reality.

The only point that Xingxia Xiu has been able to find in his cultivation research so far is the spirit, or the root, which is the soul.

The latest novel is first published here!

Whether it was because Hashirama Senju suffered a severe mental blow during the battle, or because he lost his will to live due to Madara Uchiha's death, causing him to be unable to suppress the cells in his body that were constantly dividing automatically.

In other words, death is caused by an imbalance of Yin and Yang.

The body is too strong, while the soul and spirit are too weak.

This is the only plausible explanation that Xingxiaxiu has been able to find so far.

Therefore, Xingxia Xiu believes that being too physically strong while having a fragile soul is not necessarily a good thing.

The Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki also confirms this point.

Becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki grants immense power, but mastering this power requires an extremely strong will.

This is not as simple as just suppressing the Ten-Tails' own consciousness.

And then there's the Rinnegan. As I remember, Obito Uchiha didn't want to not be able to control both Rinnegans, but even one Rinnegan put him under immense pressure.

Nagato received a transplant of the Rinnegan at a young age, and it was initially closed, not open.

Hoshino believes that this was Madara Uchiha's deliberate act, so that Nagato could gradually adapt to the power of the Rinnegan.

This is also why he didn't rashly transplant the Rinnegan from Nagato.

If it were a Rinnegan of Nagato's caliber, it wouldn't offer him much of an improvement right now; it would be completely useless.

It's even possible that the power of the Rinnegan could suppress his own power.

So Hoshino chose to slowly awaken another pair of Rinnegan, one that might belong to him as much as possible.

Now, through the practice of "being a know-it-all," he has obtained a Sharingan that is entirely his own, and his goal seems to be getting closer.

The appearance of the "Soul Singer" caused Xingxia Xiu's thoughts to wander, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses and feel the difference this state brought him.

"It really feels different now, almost like being in an expert's state..."

"Hmm, the Corpse Demon Sealing Technique, the Spirit Transformation Technique... If we study it, we should be able to develop a secret technique that can directly pull the enemy's soul out of their body."

"In that case, we won't need to use the Reaper Death Seal technique to split the Nine-Tails."

Xingxia Xiu quickly found inspiration from the knowledge she already possessed.

He felt that developing such a secret technique wouldn't be too difficult.

"Next, we need to develop the technique of creating spirit clones..."

Hoshino continued to ponder: "With the ability to create a spirit clone, I can try to use Sage Mode in a soul state."

"If I can achieve this, then... I will have the ability to live forever."

Did the Sage of Six Paths die?

died!

She didn't die!

Hoshino also wanted to try to achieve the state of the Sage of Six Paths, where even if the physical body died, the soul could still exist and survive.

Silent all night.

The following day, Xingxia Xiu began to try out the ideas from the previous night.

Meanwhile.

Might Guy, Genma Shiranui, and Ebisu also stepped onto the battlefield.

As ordered, they, now Chunin, were to travel to the eastern part of the Land of Fire to support the Hidden Mist battlefield.
