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

"Isn't this...too dangerous?"

Kakashi hesitated for a moment.

This ninjutsu is incredibly powerful!

Xingxia Xiu chuckled: "Don't worry, this level of power is nothing."

Kakashi thought of his teacher's fighting strength and the Flying Thunder God Technique, then nodded, took a deep breath, and threw the Storm Release: Rasengan shuriken out of his hand.

hum~

The black windmill roared out and appeared at the edge of the woods in an instant, then collided with a large tree.

In an instant, a deafening explosion erupted, and before the eyes of Xingxia Xiu and the other two, countless black electric currents shot outward, forming a rapidly expanding black sphere of light that engulfed everything.

In the blink of an eye, the rapidly expanding black sphere of light contracted again.

Xingxia Xiu raised an eyebrow slightly: "This is truly an unexpected delight."

"Watch out, a storm is coming."

The next moment, fine black currents shot outwards, forming a storm.

Kakashi was about to use Earth Release to defend himself when he realized he couldn't control his body at all, and his expression immediately changed: "What's going on?"

Not only that, but I also saw many phantom images, which made me feel nauseous.

Meanwhile, Itachi Uchiha, whose Sharingan was also being strongly interfered with, felt a dizzying sensation in his brain.

Just as the electric current was about to sweep over, Xingxia Xiu raised his hand, and the sweeping current immediately paused, as if it had been frozen, before collapsing with a roar.

Kakashi and Itachi shook their heads; their bodies had returned to normal.

"Teacher, what was that just now?"

Kakashi asked.

His ninjutsu, but at this moment it was also inexplicable.

Itachi Uchiha was also very curious. At this moment, the place where the ninjutsu had erupted was a charred crater, and the surrounding area was also charred. Many trees looked as if they had been struck by lightning.

Xingxia Xiu explained, "It's an electromagnetic storm."

"When the current is emitted outward, it creates an electromagnetic storm. This force can affect the human nervous system, so you temporarily lose control of your body and experience symptoms such as hallucinations, dizziness, and even nausea."

"Therefore, in addition to its powerful attack capabilities, this technique also has a sealing effect, which is used to restrict movement."

Itachi Uchiha said, "Sensei, if such an attack hits, unless you have your Steel Release technique, it's impossible to withstand it, right?"

Hoshino Hide chuckled: "Itachi, you can't underestimate any enemy, especially when you don't know their information."

"Everyone's cognition is limited, and things beyond our cognition will always surprise us."

He then looked at Kakashi and asked, "Kakashi, do you have enough chakra?"

Kakashi nodded: "We should be able to do it one more time."

There's still some chakra left from what Xingxia Xiu just gave him.

Hoshino nodded, flashed to the edge of the forest, and shouted to Kakashi, "Try attacking me with the Storm Release: Rasenshuriken you just used."

Kakashi nodded: "Understood!"

He didn't have many concerns.

Soon, the Storm Release: Rasengan shuriken condensed again and was thrown by Kakashi, hitting Hoshino Hideaki straight in.

At that moment, Kakashi and Itachi Uchiha stared wide-eyed as Hoshino was swallowed up by the ball of light formed by black lightning without any resistance.

The two immediately dodged backward, avoiding the effects of the electromagnetic storm, but their eyes remained fixed on the spot where the ninjutsu had erupted.

There, Xingxia Xiu was unharmed, her clothes unchanged, only streaks of black lightning flashed on her body from time to time.

"This... has absolutely no effect?"

Kakashi couldn't help but swallow hard.

The power of this technique is undeniable. To be hit directly and not suffer any damage at all is simply... terrifying!

Uchiha Itachi was equally shocked beyond words. What kind of body could withstand such an attack?

Or is there some secret technique that his Sharingan couldn't detect?

After all, the light was so dazzling that even his Sharingan couldn't detect whether Hoshino Hideaki had used ninjutsu.

However, in reality, Xingxia Xiu did nothing.

He took the blow with his bare body.

Although Hoshino Shu appears in human form now, he is actually the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, and his clothes are all made of chakra.

Kakashi's attack, while powerful, was not strong enough to break through his defenses.

Add a Sage Mode and it would be more like that.

Ironically, it was the final electromagnetic storm that affected his nervous system.

Of course, this was under the condition that Xingxiaxiu did not resist.

Otherwise, with his ability to use electric shocks, he could completely shield himself from the effects of electromagnetic storms.

Once the effects of the electromagnetic storm subsided, Hoshino approached Kakashi and the others. Itachi Uchiha asked in astonishment, "Sensei, how did you do that?"

He did it by cheating.

Hoshino smiled to herself, but said aloud, "You'll find out later."

"Now continue your practice."

"Itachi, your focus right now is on developing your Sharingan. Hmm... Besides the Heavenly Dream Walker Technique, you could also try developing your own genjutsu to hone your Yin Release nature transformation and mental will."

"There are also mental and physical training, battles, persistent practice, and upholding certain beliefs, all of which are viable methods, although it will take a long time before they become effective."

"But even I don't have a good way to cultivate my soul and spirit right now."

"At least the human body has its limits, but the spirit and will can unleash unparalleled energy."

"Kakashi, Itachi, you must never forget the essence of chakra."

"This unique power is created by the combination of mental and physical strength."

This isn't the first time the Under-the-Star Show has emphasized this.

Kakashi and Itachi both nodded solemnly.

In reality, Hoshino himself would often reflect on this power from the perspective of the essence of chakra.

Any form of spiritual practice or learning.

In the end, what teachers can impart is their own past experience and help in terms of direction.

No two leaves are the same, just as no two people are exactly alike.

Now, the guidance that Xingxia Xiu is giving to Kakashi is about direction and passing on his own experience.

Even regarding the direction, Xingxiaxiu cannot guarantee that it is correct.

All I can say is that he has come this far, and this direction is currently the right one.

The afternoon passed in the blink of an eye.

After returning home in the evening and having dinner with the family, Xingxia Xiu began to teach her three children.

The pharmacist and Menma use clones to teach each other in the toy room.

Xuan Yi, who is already in school, is taught in the training ground in the backyard.

Basic training such as treading water and climbing trees has long been completed; what Xingxiaxiu is doing now is mainly neural response training.

Specifically, Xingxia Xiu's main body was leisurely on the side, while numerous clones were shooting clay at Xuan Yi.

Xuan Yi must avoid the clay.

This training not only focuses on nerve responses, but also on hand-foot coordination, body coordination, and other aspects.

Xingxia Xiu was relaxed and at ease, but Xuan Yi was exhausted like a puppy.

Once Xuan Yi's strength recovered, he continued with the next training session.

This is a real-life showdown, and the opponent is naturally Xingxiaxiu.

Xingxia Xiu himself took action and easily defeated his son with one hand.

"Too slow!"

"Not fast enough to react!"

"The timing is wrong."

"Not enough force!"

"Wrong angle."

One reprimand after another was given to correct him.

Xuan Yi was sometimes flicked on the forehead, sometimes kicked in the butt, and sometimes pinched on the face.

It wasn't too bad, it left no mark, but it definitely hurt.

After a training session, Xuan Yi was so exhausted that he lay down on the ground and didn't want to get up.

In the past, he found going to school boring and a form of torture.

Now he wishes he could spend all his time at school.

He used to think about his father coming back every day, but now... maybe he shouldn't come back at all.

Filial piety has become corrupted.

Xingxia Xiu was unaware that her son had already begun a grand mourning ceremony.

I checked the time; it was almost nine o'clock. Today's meditation was over. So I went over and helped my exhausted son up, then went straight to the bathroom.

Fill the tub with water, throw the tub in, then rub it and stimulate it with a gentle electric current.

Xuan Yi, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, feeling incredibly comfortable: "Dad, what kind of lightning-style secret technique is this?"

"This is my secret electroconvulsive therapy, which can effectively relieve fatigue and stimulate cell activity."

"Do you want to learn?"

Xuan Yi nodded quickly.

Hoshino Hide smiled and said, "Alright, you should first go and learn about the human body's organs and tissues from your mother, and then learn about the nature transformation of Lightning Release. Once you've mastered the nature transformation of Lightning Release, I'll pass this secret technique on to you."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yi's face immediately fell.

This adds another task to the curriculum.

"that……"

Xuan looked pleadingly at him, "Can I stop learning now?"

The latest novel is first published here!

Xingxia Xiu scoffed, "No."

"Your school's courses aren't difficult, and you have plenty of time at school."

"So, there is plenty of time to learn these things."

"I'll give you a reward every time you complete a phase of training."

Xuan Yi's eyes lit up: "A reward?"

"What reward?"

Xingxia Xiu asked with a smile, "What kind of reward do you want?"

Xuan's eyes darted around, and he chuckled, "Ninjutsu, fun ninjutsu."

Fun ninjutsu?

Xingxia Xiu smiled gently.

I can understand my son's thoughts.

The family has no shortage of ninjutsu, and there are no excessive restrictions.

So whatever ninjutsu Xuan Yi and the others want to learn, as long as they have the ability and are willing to make the decision, Hoshino Hide and Tsunade will teach them.

That's a fun ninjutsu technique.

Xingxia Xiu thought for a moment, then immediately thought of one, and shouted at her son, "Change!"

With a bang, the smoke dissipated, and Xuan Yi in the bathtub had turned into a tiny frog.

"Quack quack!"

"Quack quack"

The frog stared wide-eyed and croaked wildly, its limbs twitching, but it couldn't find the bathtub.

Hoshino laughed loudly, then used a transformation spell to turn her son back to normal.

Looking at his son examining his body, Hoshino Hide smiled and asked, "How's this technique?"

"This is a technique that can transform other people into other animals."

Xuan Yi nodded repeatedly: "If I'm going to learn something, this is it!"

So cool!

The transformation techniques he knew could only transform himself, not others... In an instant, Xuan Yi thought of many ways to use them to prank people.

Xingxia Xiu smiled and said, "Okay."

"But you should be prepared, this transformation technique is very difficult."

Xuan Yi immediately patted his chest and said, "I'm not afraid!"

"I can definitely learn it!"

While the art of frog transformation is indeed difficult, it's not particularly challenging.

However, this technique has now been improved by Hoshino Shu.

It originated from the art of frog transformation, but it is more widespread than the original frog transformation technique.

It can transform into any kind of animal, plant, or even stone.

Of course, if you encounter someone with more chakra than yourself, it's easy to forcibly dispel it.

Xingxiaxiu ultimately couldn't fathom the profound mysteries hidden within the "calling a deer a horse" status bar; he could only figure out a few scraps of it through repeated use.

……

Time flies, and it's December 15th in the blink of an eye.

On this day, many villagers from Konoha gathered in front of the Hokage Building.

On the rooftop of the Hokage Building, Hoshino Hide, Uzumaki Kushina, and Yakushi Nono watched the ceremony with their three children.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, removed his Hokage hat and handed it to Tsunade, who was standing to the side.

Tsunade took the straw hat and waved it to the villagers below.

In an instant, cheers resounded throughout the sky.

From this moment on, Tsunade became the Fourth Hokage, and Konoha officially entered the era of the Fourth Hokage's rule.

The first thing Tsunade did after taking office was to significantly expand her ruling team.

For example, Shizune is the assistant, and Shikaku and Minato Namikaze are the advisors. Shikaku is the leader of the Jonin team, while Minato Namikaze is in charge of the Hokage's direct ANBU.

Then Kakashi, Sarutobi Asuma, Genma Shiranui, and other outstanding members of the younger generation were all placed in the Anbu.

Might Guy applied to join the Dark Division several times, but was rejected each time.

After 55 years in Konoha, Tsunade put Itachi Uchiha, who had just graduated from Root, into the Anbu.

This is also the youngest member since the Dark Division was established.

Everyone felt it.

Although Tsunade did not implement sweeping reforms after taking office, she promoted many young people.

And the entire Hidden Leaf Village seemed to have been revitalized.

Time flew by and it was now Konoha year 63.

In the Land of Wind, at one of Orochimaru's secret experimental bases.

Zetsu emerged from the ground, and Orochimaru slowly turned around: "If it's still the same old story, then there's no need to say anything more."

I prefer equivalent exchanges.

The Black Zetsu, attached to the Aloe Vera White Zetsu, said, "This time I've come with absolute sincerity. You want the Rinnegan? I can help you!"

Orochimaru turned around: "Can you help me steal the Rinnegan from Nagato?"

Hei Jue said, "Of course not."

"Even if you obtain those Rinnegan, you won't be able to use them perfectly. I don't think your aspirations are that low, are they?"

"The method I'm about to describe is the one that can help you awaken the Rinnegan."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes: "The power of the Uchiha and Senju?"

Black Zetsu said, "This was told to you by Xingxia Xiu, wasn't it?"

"Heh, too bad, this is incomplete intelligence."

"Even a pure Uchiha, or even one with the Mangekyou Sharingan and the power of the Senju, could not awaken the Rinnegan."

"The key lies in the power of Indra and Ashura. They are the sons of the Sage of Six Paths. Only when the power of their reincarnated chakra is combined can the Rinnegan be awakened."

Orochimaru instantly understood: "So their reincarnations were Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju?"

Hei Jue said, "Not bad."

"You have already obtained the power of Hashirama Senju. If you obtain the power of Madara Uchiha, you will be able to awaken the Rinnegan."

"Of course, this process will be lengthy, but time isn't an issue for you, is it?"

Orochimaru chuckled: "According to you, Madara Uchiha's corpse is with Hideki, so it won't be easy to get it."

"If I speak, he will probably become alert instantly."

Black Zetsu laughed and said, "That's natural, so we'll use another method."

"Hoshishita Hide will definitely study Madara Uchiha's corpse."

"Therefore, the body must be inside Hoshino Shu's experimental base. You just need to enter that experimental base and lure away the clones he left there, and we can take away Uchiha Madara's body."

Orochimaru's eyes flashed: "This is not simple."

"Getting into the experimental base isn't a problem, but luring the clones away... is only possible if Konoha faces a major crisis."

"Hehe, actually it doesn't have to be that complicated."

"As long as we know when Hideki recalls his clones, it will be difficult to take away Madara Uchiha's body, but it will not be difficult to take away a portion of his cells."

Black Zetsu was overjoyed to hear this: "Recall the time it took to retract your clones."

Orochimaru nodded: "Of course, Hide-kun will recall his clones every now and then."

Black Zetsu indeed did not possess this information.

Neither he nor White Zetsu have any way to monitor Hoshino Shu now. (End of Chapter)
