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

Chapter 229 Nono U invests, Tsunade submits!

Although Chiyo's death would not cause the Sand Ninja army to collapse immediately, its subsequent impact would be extremely far-reaching.

After all, Chiyo was the fourth Kazekage.

Moreover, Chiyo died silently in the Sand Village's front-line headquarters, which sent chills down the spines of all the Sand Village ninja.

Who assassinated him?

Leaf Village?

The most likely candidate is Konoha, but there are others as well.

Regardless of who it was, with Chiyo dead, the Sand Village lost an extremely important fighting force, a Kage-level powerhouse who was proficient in poison making and antidote, and puppet control.

In the first month after Chiyo's death, the effects were not immediately apparent. However, a month later, Tsunade deciphered all of Chiyo's previous poisons, causing the Sand Ninja's ability to use poison to plummet and severely weakening their fighting strength.

8 month.

The Sand Village's situation in the Land of Rivers could no longer be sustained, and they retreated back to the border of the Land of Winds.

Konoha won another great victory, boosting morale significantly.

……

Hoshino Shu didn't stay on the front lines for long before bidding farewell to Tsunade and returning to Konoha.

Divine Power Space.

Looking around, Xingxia Xiu saw tailed beasts suppressed by Wood Release lying prostrate on high platforms.

The technique is fine; the next step is to separate the tailed beasts.

"The technique is called... Soul Extraction!"

Xingxiaxiu is too lazy to rack her brains over naming things.

One tail, three tails, double four tails, five tails, six tails, seven tails, eight tails!

Xingxia Xiu flashed and arrived in front of the Four-Tails, which was the Four-Tails of this world.

Yotsuba looked at Hoshino and sensed danger: "What are you going to do?"

The other tailed beasts also turned to look.

Hoshino smiled slightly: "Let's do a small experiment, a small experiment that might save you from becoming the Ten-Tails."

"Of course, even if I succeed, it depends on my mood."

"After all, you tailed beasts are really uncooperative."

One-Tailed Fox immediately scoffed, "Is it because you won't cooperate that you're being used as a bargaining chip to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki?"

Hoshino Shuu turned her head slightly: "Shukaku, you're being very naughty!"

Shukaku felt a chill run down his spine: This bastard is getting stronger and stronger... Damn it!

"snort!"

Shukaku stubbornly insisted, "We will not yield!"

"That's not up to you."

As Hoshino spoke, he reached into the body of the Four-Tails.

"What... what's going on?"

Four-Tails' eyes widened: "You bastard... what are you going to do?"

Xingxia Xiu grabbed the soul of the Four-Tails and pulled it out little by little.

This scene shocked all the tailed beasts.

Compared to extracting the soul of an ordinary animal, or even Chiyo, extracting the soul of the Four-Tails is obviously much more difficult.

But none of that is a problem.

Xingxiaxiu immediately enters Immortal Mode, and the speed of drawing items increases dramatically.

One minute later, the soul of the Four-Tails was extracted, then landed and took shape, transforming into another Four-Tails.

"That Four-Tails... it's been split up!"

"What is he going to do?"

The many tailed beasts were shocked.

Yin Siwei was stunned for a moment, then roared angrily and pressed his hands down towards Xingxia Xiu. In an instant, his palms were engulfed by magma.

He's going to fight his way out!

However, the next moment, thick vines rose from the ground and wrapped around the four tails. Then, a torii gate descended from the sky, suppressing the tail and head of the Yin Four-Tailed Beast, rendering it unable to move.

For Hoshino Shu, the individual tailed beasts are now like toys.

Only the Nine-Tails, he might need to expend a little effort to deal with.

"very good!"

Looking at the four tails that had been separated, Hoshino was very satisfied.

He initially wanted to separate the tailed beasts because of the Nine-Tails, and his initial idea was to use the Reaper Death Seal.

While the Corpse Demon Sealing Technique is a suicidal technique, there are ways to resolve it.

That is to use the art of the Dream Walker, an illusion technique that allows one to control others to perform the techniques they have mastered.

Therefore, one can manipulate others to perform the Reaper Death Seal technique, thereby avoiding danger.

Unexpectedly, the state of "Soul Singer" was created, which led to the development of the soul extraction technique.

Now, it is also necessary to divide the tailed beasts, not just to divide the Nine-Tails.

There are two other objectives.

Firstly, weakening the tailed beasts would weaken the Ten-Tails, thus reducing the risk of becoming the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki.

This is a safe bet.

Secondly, if the only way to release Kaguya Otsutsuki is through Infinite Tsukuyomi, or if it is necessary to find a body for Kaguya Otsutsuki, then Madara Uchiha would be a very good vessel.

The division of the tailed beasts was also intended to make Madara Uchiha take the blame, weaken Madara Uchiha, and weaken Kaguya Otsutsuki.

To avoid a disastrous outcome, even though the possibility is very small.

Between the parallel world and this world, there are two Kaguya Otsutsuki; one of them must be dealt with first.

Star Show chooses this world.

That is, to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki by using the body of the Ten-Tails from a parallel world, then kill Kaguya Otsutsuki from this world, and then go to the parallel world to deal with Kaguya Otsutsuki there.

This is the relatively conservative and safe plan that Star Show has set for now.

If we defeat the two Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, then we can sacrifice the other Ten-Tails, and perhaps a Divine Tree Fruit will be produced.

Even if they can't produce fruit from the Divine Tree, there's still the Otsutsuki clan coming to Earth.

There's also Isshiki Otsutsuki, hidden in the ninja world, and the Ten-Tails in Isshiki's possession.

Offering all of these to the Ten-Tails would surely be enough to bear fruit, allowing Tsunade, Kushina, and the others to also transform.

Becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki is too risky; it's safer to eat the fruit of the God Tree.

"The step of splitting the tailed beasts is now complete."

Ignoring the shocked Tailed Beast Man, Hoshino Shigehisa disappeared from the Kamui dimension.

Inside the study, Xingxia Xiu stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the swaying leaves outside the window: "The development of the soul cannot stop, and we must also create a soul clone, just in case."

"And the training of talent!"

"And there's also Magnet Release, Electromagnetic Release..."

Although his goal is to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki, Hoshino Shu will not be satisfied with just that.

While the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki can grant immense power, they are also very important in other aspects.

For example, ninjutsu, bloodline limit, bloodline elimination, and bloodline trapping.

Xingxia Xiu remembers that whether it was Obito or Madara Uchiha, becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki resulted in improvements in various aspects, but not much in terms of bloodline limit.

Obito hadn't even activated the Rinne Sharingan with nine tomoe.

Madara Uchiha activated the Rinne Sharingan with nine tomoe at the last moment, but he could only use Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Of course, this was also because Madara Uchiha was later betrayed by Black Zetsu.

Perhaps there are still abilities they haven't shown yet?

But let's pretend the Star Show doesn't exist for now.

At least initially, Madara Uchiha used the abilities of his Rinnegan in battle.

It's uncertain whether the two Storm Release techniques originated from the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki or were temporarily acquired after becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and mastering Sage Mode.

and so.

Now, Hoshino Shu needs to master as many powerful techniques as possible so that he can unleash the full power of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki in the future.

"Furthermore, the Sage of Six Paths might also be a hidden danger to me. This old coin could be very dangerous."

Thinking about it, Xingxia Xiu couldn't help but stretch: "I still have a lot to do!"

After having Madara Uchiha's eyes replaced, Hoshino Shu continued her busy work.

……

Time flies, and September has arrived before we know it.

On this day, Xingxia Xiu was deep in thought, looking down at a scroll filled with incantations and spells, when footsteps sounded outside, startling him awake.

Hoshino looked up and saw Yakushi Nonou appear at the door.

"Onii-chan!"

Yakushi Nonou revealed a gentle smile.

Hoshino looked on with some surprise: "Nono, is the war over?"

These days he has been focused on his spiritual practice and has not paid much attention to outside affairs.

Even though she was already an adult, Yakushi Nonou was still as small as ever. She stepped into the study, sat down opposite Hoshino Hide, and then smiled and said, "Sunagakure has surrendered and chosen to negotiate with us."

"The war with Sunagakure is essentially over, so I brought the wounded back ahead of time."

"Tsunade should be back soon too."

Xingxia Xiu paused slightly, then exclaimed, "It's over!"

The latest novel is first published here!

The war with Sunagakure is over, so only Kirigakure and Kumogakure remain.

These two ninja villages are different.

The former is far overseas, and even if the war ends, there will likely be no peace talks or alliances.

Unless we fight our way to the Land of Water.

As for the Hidden Cloud Village, these guys are war fanatics and won't easily end the war completely.

Furthermore, the war has reached this point.

The other ninja villages are probably about to clash as well.

Just like the First Shinobi World War.

The four major ninja villages besieged Konoha not because they were united, but because Konoha posed the greatest threat.

There's no way to deal with Konoha now, and the conflict of interest between them is likely to erupt.

The ninja world will likely remain in chaos for a while longer.

But Konoha will be peaceful for a while.

well.

Composing himself, Hoshino looked at Yakushi Nonou and smiled, "Let's go buy groceries and make a big dinner tonight."

Yakushi Nonou was delighted, but then immediately asked, "Um, is it alright for Onii-chan to go out like this?"

After all, Xingxiaxiu is now temporarily dead.

"It's alright, I'll just use the transformation technique."

Xingxia Xiu stood up: "Let's go!"

"Um!"

Yakushi Nono nodded heavily.

So the two went out, and Hoshino Hide used his transformation magic to casually turn into an ordinary-looking man to accompany Yakushi Nonou to buy things.

Watching Pharmacist Nono carrying a basket to buy things, Hoshino Shu suddenly felt a sense of pride, like watching his daughter grow up.

When he first met Yakushi Nonou, she was only ten years old, while he was only eighteen.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye!

At this moment, the scholar under the star felt that he had been in this world for so long.

After buying the ingredients, the two returned home and went into the kitchen to start working together.

It wasn't until 6 p.m. that all the dishes on the table were ready.

Since Nawaki and the others weren't there, only Hoshino Hide and Yakushi Nonou ate dinner together.

There was a lot of food, but it wasn't a problem at all. The ninja ate heartily, which would be considered a huge appetite by ordinary standards.

While eating and chatting, the usually quiet Pharmacist Nono kept talking, as if she had endless things to say.

She recounted her experiences on the battlefield, her progress in medical ninjutsu, her advancements in water ninjutsu, and her various doubts about genjutsu, pouring out all the words that had accumulated over this period of time.

Hoshino listened patiently and responded promptly, filling Yakushi Nono with happiness.

For Yakushi Nonou, being with Hoshino Shu is happiness; nothing else matters.

The meal didn't end until after nine o'clock.

The two finished all the food on the table, and then cleaned up together.

The two then went into the study, as some questions couldn't be resolved at the dinner table.

Hoshino also hopes that Yakushi Nonou can learn his Tensui Body.

Before we knew it, it was late at night.

"Okay, that's all for today."

After finishing her lesson, Hoshino said, "Nono, go wash up and get some rest."

"Uh-huh!"

Yakushi Nonou nodded, then happily left the study.

She also has a room in this house; she stayed here when she first returned from Sunagakure.

Xingxia Xiu spent another hour in the study processing the information returned by her clone before washing up and lying in bed.

He had only been lying down for a short while when he opened his eyes and felt a soft body snuggle into his arms, lying on top of him like a kitten.

Without a doubt, it must be Yakushi Nonou.

Yakushi Nonou was very shy and nervous, keeping her head down and not daring to look at Hoshino Shu.

Hoshino looked at the ostrich-like Yakushi Nono, then cupped her face in her hands.

That night, her wish came true, and she embraced happiness.

It's a bit tough for Star Show.

After all, even Tsunade and Kushina Uzumaki couldn't win when they teamed up, let alone Nono Yakushi.

……

Five days of shameless living passed in the blink of an eye.

Tsunade is back.

The moment Tsunade saw Yakushi Nonou, she sensed something was wrong.

Young girls and women who have experienced life are obviously different.

"That bastard!"

Tsunade gritted her teeth.

Then chaos ensued, and Xingxiaxiu was chased for three blocks.

Having failed to kill her, Tsunade returned directly to the Senju family mansion.

That evening, Hoshino took Yakushi Nonou to the Senju family mansion, only to find that Tsunade was already drunk.

He carried Tsunade into the bathroom to give her a bath, and then carried her back to the bedroom.

Tsunade opened her eyes, looking at Hoshita Shu with an extremely aggrieved expression: "You bastard, isn't Kushina enough for you?"

"Waaaah, you... bastard..."

Tsunade was not convinced, so she rested for half an hour and fought again, only to be defeated once more.

Repeated battles and repeated defeats, repeated defeats and repeated battles.

After the sixth round, Tsunade finally begged for mercy.

There's simply no more room.

As for Yakushi Nono, she couldn't hold on for more than two rounds.

"This will not be repeated."

Tsunade concluded.

Xingxia Xiu nodded in satisfaction and then let her go.

With Tsunade's strong personality, only this method could truly conquer her.

Emerging from the bathroom, Tsunade, feeling utterly exhausted, suddenly said, "Let's have a baby!"

Xingxia Xiu paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "Okay."

"Two are fine too."

Yakushi Nonou looked at Hoshino Shu with anticipation after hearing this.

"Nonou, wait a little longer."

Xingxia Xiudao.

Although Yakushi Nonou was somewhat disappointed, she still obediently nodded.
