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

Chapter 235 Deadly Poison Master, A New Cycle! (Happy Lunar New Year's Eve everyone!)

As his son grows up, Xingxia Xiu continues to be a stay-at-home dad, but he also finds time to practice Buddhism again.

Although many spiritual practices can use clones to replace the original body.

However, some forms of spiritual practice must be performed in one's physical body.

For example, further exploration of the art of spirit clones.

For example, further mastering Sage Mode.

Although the feedback from Minato Namikaze and others regarding the "love of teaching" state has led to a further advancement in Sage Mode, it currently only has eyeshadow.

But Hoshino's target is the Sage of Six Paths.

He remembered that the Sage Mode of the Sage of Six Paths did not have any eyeshadow or facial makeup.

There's still a big difference between the Sage and Sage Mode.

The Sage of Six Paths doesn't need to enter Sage Mode.

The 48 years of Konoha passed by unnoticed.

In the 49th year of Konoha's existence, the ninja world became increasingly peaceful.

All the major ninja villages have entered a period of recuperation and accumulation of strength.

In Konoha, starting that year, the Konoha Ninja Academy increased its resource investment and the number of students it enrolled, especially by relaxing some of the admission standards.

Of course, this is not simply for the purpose of massing troops.

Rather, it is the existence of the Eight Gates, a forbidden physical technique.

Even without talent in ninjutsu or genjutsu, taijutsu is still a viable path.

The training of the Eight Gates is certainly not simple, but if you work hard enough, you can open the first few gates.

Generally speaking, opening the first three gates is enough to become a qualified genin.

That same year, Tsunade became a candidate for Hokage.

This means that the candidate for the Fourth Hokage has been determined, and Tsunade has begun to gradually take over the power of Hokage under the guidance of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

8 month 16 day.

Pharmacist Nono is pregnant.

In that same year, Neji Hyuga, Rock Lee, and Tenten were born.

This is just a microcosm.

With the war completely over, Konoha began to experience a baby boom.

9 month 20 day.

The status bar refreshed again.

Xingxia Xiu frowned because he hadn't achieved the "Strongest Dad" status.

"I'm not the strongest ninja in the world..."

Hoshino Hide thought to himself, "As for strength, the strength of Gamamaru and the White Snake Sage is unknown."

"The parasitic Jigen of Otsutsuki Isshiki".

"And... the Sage of Six Paths!"

Six Paths Immortals?

Xingxia Xiu suspects that it was the Sage of Six Paths who prevented him from winning the title of "Strongest Dad".

Although the Sage of Six Paths is now neither human nor ghost, his power should still be intact.

Otherwise, how could we give Sasuke and Naruto Uchiha a power-up?

Later, together with the Five Kage of all generations, they summoned Kakashi and others from the Origin Sphere.

"I shouldn't forget him..."

Xingxia Xiu remained secretly on guard.

He sensed that the Sage of Six Paths was a huge threat to him.

This guy isn't a normal person either.

Suppressing her thoughts, Xingxia Xiu looked at the new state.

Current status: Deadly Poisoner

Note: Given enough ingredients, you can poison even a god. A serious reminder: don't poison yourself!

Refresh countdown: 364 days 23:57:57

Seeing the new status, Xingxia Xiu's eyebrows twitched.

In terms of poisons, he could even poison gods.

That's incredible!

However... the availability of materials is a limitation.

"However, chakra can also be turned into poison."

Hoshino Shu himself possessed this kind of ninjutsu.

For example, the Flower and Tree Realm descends.

"It will be very difficult to break out of this state."

Xingxia Xiu pondered to herself.

Even with the added boost of certain conditions, a highly poisonous ninjutsu capable of killing a god cannot be developed in a short period of time.

And to configure it, materials are needed.

"Do your best and leave the rest to fate!"

With a sigh, Hoshino looked at the medicine doctor Nono in her arms, then closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The next day.

At lunchtime, Hoshino was feeding her son formula when Tsunade returned from outside. As she sat down to eat, she said, "Hide, what do you think about me taking on a disciple?"

"disciple?"

Xingxiaxiu asked curiously, "Who have you taken a fancy to?"

Tsunade said, "Shizune, Kato Shizune."

Hoshino looked up: "Kato...is he related to Dan?"

Tsunade nodded.

Yakushi Nonou said, "I know this child; she has a very good talent for medical ninjutsu."

Hoshino Hide laughed and said, "Then let's accept them. The more talented people from Konoha, the better."

Tsunade puffed out her cheeks and said while eating, "I've been too busy lately, so sometimes I need your help to teach me a thing or two."

Hoshino chuckled: "Tsunade, don't be lazy."

"Creating a shadow clone to teach you is not a difficult task."

Kushina Uzumaki suggested with a grin, "Why don't we ask Erika for help?"

After Pharmacist Nonou became pregnant, Uzumaki Erika is now a pillar of Konoha Hospital.

Tsunade shook her head and refused: "Erika is busy too."

Actually, Erika has also been trying to conceive recently.

After feeding her son, Xingxia Xiu said helplessly, "Alright, leave it to me."

"However, I'm not very good at normal medical ninjutsu."

Tsunade was very satisfied and said, "You just need to teach her superhuman strength and those medical ninjutsu."

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "No problem, this is what I'm good at."

He excels at rote learning and endless practice problems.

The next day, Jingyin came to visit.

Upon seeing Hoshino Shu holding her son, Shizune bowed respectfully, her voice trembling with nervousness: "Lord Shu, Lady Kushina!"

"Don't be nervous."

After handing his son over to Kushina Uzumaki, Hoshino stepped forward with a gentle smile: "Tsunade should have told you all that, right? I'll mainly teach you medical ninjutsu and superhuman strength."

"Tell me about your medical ninjutsu skills first."

Seeing how gentle Xingxia Xiu was, Jingyin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and quickly said, "Lord Xiu, I have now mastered the Palm Immortal Technique."

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "Very good, it seems the foundation is already very good."

"In that case, let's get started."

"Hmm... let's start with a chakra scalpel!"

"If used properly, this technique can be used not only for healing but also for combat."

Shizune nodded quickly, "Yes!"

"Hey, first remember the order of the hand seals."

Xingxia Xiu began teaching step by step.

Meanwhile, Genichi, who was being held by Kushina Uzumaki, was looking at her with his dark, bright eyes, appearing quite interested.

After the lesson ended and Shizune left, Kushina Uzumaki laughed and said, "Genichi was watching you teach ninjutsu the whole time. Maybe he'll grow up to be an outstanding medical ninja!"

"However, will he inherit your medical bloodline limit?"

Looking at his son with his arms outstretched, Xingxia Xiu reached out and took the arms, smiling, "There's a certain probability. We'll know for sure when he's able to refine chakra."

When he gets older, he will guide him.

However, compared to medical bloodline limits, Hoshino is curious about whether his son might be able to awaken the Sharingan.

Before Tsunade became pregnant, he already possessed his own Sharingan.

In addition, there is Wood Release, or Sage Body.

If both can be inherited, is it possible for the chakra of Indra and Ashura to be reincarnated at the same time?

Xingxiaxiu had a sudden idea.

There was even a nameless worry in my heart.

Gamamaru caused the Sage of Six Paths and his brothers to turn against Kaguya Otsutsuki and her son.

It's entirely possible that the Sage of Six Paths, that old coin, might turn against his father.

After all, in the future, Xingxia Xiu might also be seen as a villain by the Sage of Six Paths.

Xingxia Xiu is well aware of this.

That's why Hoshino Shu guided Minato Namikaze to train in Sage Mode.

Gamamaru has a history of misconduct, so Hoshino Shu must be wary.

Xingxia Xiu bent down and kissed her son's forehead. She realized that she must pay more attention to her children's education in the future and absolutely not let them be led astray.

Not long after, Hoshino learned from Kushina Uzumaki that Mikoto Uchiha was pregnant again.

Is Uchiha Sasuke still the reincarnation of Indra's chakra?

I'm really looking forward to the Star Show.

Before we knew it, Konoha's 50th anniversary had arrived.

On January 15th, Kushina Uzumaki was discovered to be pregnant.

After the evening celebration, Hoshino and Nawaki took a walk in the yard.

After chatting for a while, Nawaki suddenly said, "Brother-in-law, I want to try Wood Release."

Xingxia Xiu wasn't surprised at all and nodded: "Then let's give it a try."

He thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the usual place tomorrow."

Rope Tree was overjoyed: "Yes!"

The latest novel is first published here!

"Thank you, brother-in-law!"

Hoshino patted Nawaki on the shoulder: "I believe you can do it."

Rope Tree chuckled: "I lack confidence in myself, but I have confidence in you, brother-in-law!"

Xingxia Xiu couldn't help but chuckle.

After seeing the Nawaki couple off, Tsunade said to Hoshino Hideaki, "Uchiha Itachi is going to enroll in school. Have you considered taking a Hyuga as your student?"

"Hinata?"

Hoshino Shige pretended to ponder: "Teaching the Hyuga clan is indeed a bit challenging."

The training of the Hyuga is centered around the Byakugan, and what outsiders can teach is just some experience.

A deeper level involves ideological guidance.

Of course, Hoshino Hide could also develop a ninjutsu suitable for the Hyuga clan.

Or rather, ninjutsu (body techniques).

For example, similar to Hinata's Twin Lion Fist, Obito Uchiha's Fire Dragon Fist is similar to the Twin Lion Fist, except that the former does not involve nature changes, but is purely a form change.

In addition, there are ninjutsu that are stronger than Bagua Kongsho but weaker than Bagua Kongji.

However, such techniques require a large amount of chakra.

The Hyuga clan has a considerable amount of chakra, but it's not quite at the level of chakra tons.

Therefore, it is challenging.

However, Hoshino Shu had previously considered taking Hyuga as his apprentice, attempting to awaken the Byakugan by leveraging his "love of teaching".

Previously, Hoshino Shu had taught Hyuga Kei of the Hyuga clan, who was Nawaki's teammate, but was not involved with the Byakugan.

If you're going to take on an apprentice, it's best to take one who hasn't yet awakened their inner eye.

So Hoshino asked, "You have someone in mind for Tsunade?"

Tsunade said, "The wife of the Hiashi clan chief is pregnant. Of course, Hyuga Hizashi's son is also an option."

Neji!

Hinata or Neji?

Of course, Xingxia Xiu likes geniuses.

However, taking Neji as a disciple might cause the Hyuga clan to have second thoughts.

But... so what?

Hoshita Hide then said, "Then let's go with Hyuga Hizashi's son!"

Tsunade nodded and reminded her, "We don't need to touch upon the Hyuga clan's main and branch family system."

Xingxia Xiu said, "I don't have the time or inclination for that."

"However, my disciple's life and death are not in the hands of others."

Everything has its advantages and disadvantages.

The Hyuga clan's main and branch family system was indeed very corrupt, but it did prevent a fate like that of the Otsutsuki clan on the moon.

This also avoids the risk of losing eye contact to outsiders.

If it weren't for the caged bird, it's foreseeable that many ninja villages in the ninja world would possess the Byakugan.

Tsunade scoffed at Hoshino's request, "Let the old man handle that!"

Two days later.

Tsunade brought back news that Hiashi Hyuga had compromised.

Hideaki Hoshino takes Neji as his disciple, and Neji will not be implanted with the Caged Bird Seal.

The news quickly spread throughout Konoha.

After learning that Hoshino Hideaki had taken Neji as his student, Fugaku Uchiha, a member of the Uchiha clan, immediately decided to impose even stricter requirements on his son, Itachi Uchiha.

……

Mountain cemetery.

Obito Uchiha is sparring with Nagato while using Susanoo.

Besides Yahiko and Konan, Zetsu was also watching the match.

Looking at the two locked in combat, Bai Jue asked, "Are you sure you don't need to guide them?"

Hei Jue said, "No need."

"Doing that would likely be noticed by Hoshino Shu, and the risk is too great."

Bai Jue said, "But this situation is very disadvantageous for us."

"How will we revive Lord Madara?"

Hei Jue said, "There will be an opportunity."

"That guy, Hoshino Hide, has huge ambitions. Once we've collected all the tailed beasts, we can leak the information to the other ninja villages."

"Heh, at that time, war will break out again, and it will be more intense than any previous Shinobi World War. Then, our opportunity will come."

Bai Jue said, "Alright, alright, although I still think this is very unreliable and too passive."

Black Zetsu said, "Don't worry, Lord Madara created me with this in mind."

He had actually considered guiding Nagato and Obito Uchiha, or one of them, to betray Hoshino Shuu.

But it's too difficult.

Especially when no one is carrying out the plan.

Therefore, given this situation, it's better to wait and see, and wait for the right opportunity.

We can wait a thousand years, and waiting a little longer is not out of the question.

Xingxia Xiu is very powerful, but he will die sooner or later.

Once Hoshino Hideyuki dies and Madara Uchiha's body is found, then...

Even if we can't find Madara Uchiha's body, we can find a new Indra or Ashura reincarnation. We can just wait a little longer.

"I'll definitely be the winner in the end!"

Black Zetsu had complete confidence.

Time was on his side.

On the battlefield.

Nagato unleashed a powerful attack, finally using the Shinra Tensei technique to overturn and shatter Obito's Susanoo. He then used Bansho Ten'in, and Obito's figure immediately flew towards Nagato.

But Obito Uchiha immediately revived Susanoo.

However, before Susanoo could be fully formed, Nagato switched to Shinra Tensei, and Obito Uchiha was sent flying backward again.

Then Nagato grew a third arm. As his fingers moved, his knuckles rotated and extended like a machine, then transformed into rockets that shot out.

Rumble!

The explosion engulfed Obito Uchiha as he was sent flying backward.

When the smoke cleared, Obito Uchiha was completely unharmed; he had simply "intangled" himself.

This wasn't actually the first time the two had sparred and faced off.

They were already very familiar with each other.

Obito Uchiha did this to hone his eye power and train his Susanoo.

Nagato, on the other hand, developed the Rinnegan.

Under the guidance of Hoshino, I have basically mastered the Rinnegan Six Paths abilities. I am most proficient in Shinra Tensei and Bansho Ten'in because I use them the most.

Obito Uchiha laughed and said, "Nagato, didn't you master an even stronger technique? Why don't you give it a try?"

Xiao Nan immediately stopped her, saying, "That technique consumes too much energy."

Obito Uchiha immediately said, "It's alright, let Tobi help replenish your chakra."

White Zetsu Afei emerged from underground and laughed, "No problem."

Nagato glanced at White Zetsu and Tobi, then nodded and said, "Let's give it a try!"

Watching the battle, Aloe Vera White Zetsu said, "This is an opportunity. Next time, you can hide on Tobi and take control of Nagato."

Hei Jue said, "This does indeed look like a very good opportunity."

"I will keep it as a backup plan."

Aloe Vera asked, "Why is it a backup plan?"

Hei Jue said, "We've definitely been under Xingxiaxiu's surveillance all along."

"Even if Madara is resurrected, without the Rinnegan, he probably wouldn't be a match for Hoshino Shuu."

"You know the speed of the Flying Thunder God Technique."

"Therefore, timing is extremely important."

Aloe vera was convinced.
