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

Kaguya Otsutsuki disappeared.

But then it reappeared, this time behind Might Guy, and even closer.

"Kai, behind you!"

Minato Namikaze shouted.

Might Guy reacted quickly, turning around and throwing a punch, while Kaguya Otsutsuki responded with the Eighty Gods Vacuum Strike, unleashing a barrage of punches.

Matt Kai swung his fists repeatedly, unleashing bursts of air.

The Eighty Gods' Air Strike and the Evening Elephant's Air Cannon collided, creating a deafening roar that stirred up towering waves in the sky.

At this moment, Minato Namikaze and the others on the ground couldn't help but raise their hands to shield their eyes, staring wide-eyed at the battle in the air.

The earth is shaking!

Yes, at that moment, Minato Namikaze, Nagato, Orochimaru, and the others felt the earth shake and the entire space tremble.

"What amazing power!"

Orochimaru was very shocked.

Not only was Kaguya Otsutsuki's power astounding, but Might Guy's power was also a surprise.

A physical technique that can reach such a level is dozens of times more powerful than the power of a shadow.

When the roar subsided, Kaguya Otsutsuki was unharmed.

Matt Kai gasped for breath: "This guy... he's terrifying."

His figure slowly floated down from the sky.

"In that case, we'll have to resort to our last resort..."

Matt Kai gripped the ground with both hands: "Let the passion of youth burn one last time!"

However, just as Might Guy was charging up his final attack, Kaguya Otsutsuki suddenly swooped down from the sky at an extremely fast speed.

This is the difference between Kaguya Otsutsuki and Madara Uchiha.

Madara Uchiha will fight Might Guy, allowing Might Guy to showcase his abilities.

Because Madara Uchiha enjoys the process of fighting.

Kaguya Otsutsuki currently only wants to recover chakra, with Menma and Sasuke Uchiha as her primary targets; everyone else is a secondary objective.

Therefore, Kaguya Otsutsuki did not want to give Might Guy a chance to perform.

not good!

Minato Namikaze and Nagato reacted immediately.

Minato Namikaze immediately threw out his kunai, while Nagato rushed forward at top speed.

He possesses Truth-Seeking Balls, which have a range of seventy meters. As long as one gets close enough, one can use the Truth-Seeking Balls to block Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Minato Namikaze's kunai, however, was aimed between Kaguya Otsutsuki and Might Guy, and arrived first.

In an instant, Minato Namikaze stood between Kaguya Otsutsuki and Might Guy, and at the same time, the Ice Release: Rasengan shuriken in his hand materialized.

At that moment, Nagato's Truth-Seeking Balls also burst forth, heading straight for Kaguya Otsutsuki.

On the ground, Might Guy, who had been gathering his strength, roared, and crimson steam transformed into a dragon shape that expanded outwards.

This scene was etched in the eyes of Orochimaru, Tobirama Senju, and Konan, who had just woken up.

The next moment, the four of them suddenly disappeared.

"It's space-time ninjutsu again!"

"I can't sense their chakra at all!"

Tobirama Senju frowned.

Orochimaru said, "Even the Flying Thunder God Technique can't sense it?"

Tobirama Senju struggled, finally breaking free from Kaguya Otsutsuki's control over his body, and stood up: "I can't sense it."

"It must be another dimension."

Orochimaru frowned: "That's troublesome. Just like with Hideki and the others before, if we can't get out, we won't be able to deal with Kaguya Otsutsuki."

Tobirama Senju looked in another direction: "Shu's clone is still there, which means he's still alive in the other dimension."

Orochimaru nodded, then suddenly asked with a smile, "Second Hokage, don't you think Hideaki didn't seem to be doing much?"

Tobirama Senju turned to Orochimaru and asked, "What do you mean?"

He didn't know much about Hoshino, but Orochimaru did.

Since the start of the war, Hoshino Shu hasn't really made a move.

Even when dealing with Kaguya Otsutsuki, he didn't perform much before being sent to another dimension.

This doesn't fit his understanding of under-the-star shows.

Although Hoshino Shu hadn't made a move in a long time, it was clear from his fight against Uchiha Madara that he won easily and maintained control of the situation, gradually making Uchiha Madara a sacrifice for the resurrection of Otsutsuki Kaguya.

Without the Star-Under-the-Scenes Show, Orochimaru believed that it wouldn't have been so easy for Black Zetsu to revive Kaguya Otsutsuki.

It's possible that even Hoshino Shizuka didn't fully understand Kaguya Otsutsuki's abilities, and that she was sent into another dimension before she could even unleash her full power.

But Orochimaru believed that the possibility was extremely low.

As far as he knew, Hoshino Shu was also skilled in space-time ninjutsu, and his Flying Thunder God Technique was even more powerful than Minato Namikaze's.

Furthermore, the Mangekyou Sharingan's ability is suspected to be the ability to copy other Mangekyou eye techniques, which means that Obito Uchiha also possessed the ability of Hoshino Shuu.

It also has the ability of the Rinnegan.

Therefore, Orochimaru's mind is full of abnormal thoughts.

It seems that Xingxia Show is hiding its true strength.

But why hide your strength when facing a powerful enemy like Kaguya Otsutsuki?

His wife and children are still alive!

Moreover, Kaguya Otsutsuki's first target was Menma.

This is not normal, it's extremely abnormal!

After listening to Orochimaru's analysis, Tobirama Senju pondered for a moment and said, "We'll know once we go check with Menma and the others."

……

Lava space.

Kaguya Otsutsuki appeared here with Minato Namikaze and the others.

Whether it was Might Guy, Minato Namikaze, or Nagato, they all immediately plummeted downwards.

Nagato reacted the fastest, immediately using Truth-Seeking Balls to create a foothold for himself, while simultaneously shouting to Minato Namikaze, "Minato!"

Minato Namikaze immediately used the Flying Thunder God Technique to get to Might Guy's side, and then directly teleported to Nagato's side.

At that moment, Kaguya Otsutsuki's attack arrived, a barrage of chakra fists raining down upon them.

Nagato immediately transformed the Truth-Seeking Jewel into a shield.

Minato Namikaze had already witnessed the power of this move, and even Truth-Seeking Balls might not be able to block it. He immediately threw out a kunai and stuck it into the stone wall.

If he can't stop them, he will use the Flying Thunder God Technique with Nagato and Might Guy to evade.

As for Matt Kai, he breathed a sigh of relief. There was no place to land here. Although he could run in the air, he couldn't keep running forever.

With all eight gates open, it's impossible to sustain the effect for long.

At this point, Might Guy was already at his last gasp.

If Minato Namikaze can't save everyone from the crisis, then it will be Might Guy's last breath.

Although the three of them did not discuss it, they all tacitly made a plan.

But at that moment, a figure flashed in front of Nagato and the others.

"Teacher Xiu!"

The three members of Nagato couldn't help but show their joy.

The Star Show was already waiting here.

Blocking Nagato's path, a colossal figure rose up immediately afterward.

Sage Art - Wood Release - Thousand True Hands, Top Transformation Buddha!

Although there is no land, it does not mean that it cannot be used.

Normally, even if one were to use it, they wouldn't be able to stand on their own. However, Xingxia Xiu not only possesses the technique of super light and heavy rock, but also has the state of "freedom of light and heavy," making it even more useful.

The towering wooden Buddha is suspended directly in the air.

But that's not enough.

On the wooden Buddha, atop the seated wooden figure, Xingxia Xiu's eyes were Mangekyou Sharingan. Accompanied by a surge of blue chakra, it quickly covered the wooden Buddha with a layer of armor!

Susanoo-clad Great Buddha!

The Great Buddha unleashed its thousand hands, meeting the incoming attack of the Eighty Gods.

Previously, Hashirama Senju used the True Several Thousand Hands to fight against the Eighty Gods' Vacuum Attack, but lost, and was then defeated by Kaguya Otsutsuki in one move.

But now, Hoshino has gained the power of Susanoo.

He also used the ability of the "Light and Heavy Freedom" state, so that when the Buddha's Hand was thrown out, it was very light and very fast.

But upon impact with the target, it instantly becomes incredibly heavy, and its power surges dramatically.

The latest novel is first published here!

Rumble!

The air surged with terrifying waves, the violent collision seemed to shake the very fabric of space, and even the magma below was thrown about.

Inside Kaguya Otsutsuki's sleeve, Black Zetsu stared wide-eyed: "That guy, Hoshino Hide, is definitely the most troublesome one."

"Mom's chakra has been used up too much..."

The Eighty Gods' Void Strike was difficult to maintain, but the Susanoo-clad Buddha's hands continued to bombard Kaguya Otsutsuki relentlessly.

Kaguya Otsutsuki could easily absorb Susanoo, but she couldn't absorb the attack of True Several Thousand Hands.

If hit, Kaguya Otsutsuki wouldn't be killed, but she would definitely be stunned.

"Mom, don't get entangled with them. Let's deal with them after we've recovered Indra and Ashura's chakra."

"And if they can't get out, they'll be trapped here and die."

Seeing the incoming fist, Kaguya Otsutsuki followed the advice of her dutiful son Black Zetsu, opened a space-time gate behind her, and then lightly retreated and entered it, causing all the incoming fists to miss.

Hoshino was neither surprised nor disappointed, and immediately released the ninjutsu.

"How's it outside?"

Xingxia Xiu turned around and asked.

Nagato said, "There's no problem for now, but we're all stuck here. Menma and Sasuke are probably in big trouble."

Minato Namikaze quickly asked, "My Flying Thunder God Technique doesn't work, Master Hideaki, do you have a solution?"

Xingxia Xiu didn't answer, but smiled and said, "There's no rush now."

He first lightened the weight of Minato and the other two, then placed one hand on Might Guy's heart. A surge of life force flowed in, instantly reviving the emaciated Might Guy.

"That's amazing, Teacher Xiu!"

Just moments ago, Might Guy was half-dead, but now he was bursting with energy, throwing punches and kicks: "Looks like my passionate youth will continue!"

Xingxia Xiu said, "I'll take you away from here first."

With that, he used Kamui to take the three of them out of the lava space and into Kaguya Otsutsuki's Origin Sphere space.

At this moment, Obito and his two companions were warily watching Kaguya Otsutsuki not far away.

When Black Zetsu saw Hoshino and the other three appear, he said, "This guy has indeed mastered Kamui, and can come and go freely here."

"hateful……"

"It seems that dealing with them won't be so simple."

"Mom, we can only deal with this under-the-scenes show last."

"After we take away Indra and Ashura's chakra, we must deal with the others outside. If we stay here, they will be destroyed."

Kaguya Otsutsuki, who was absorbing chakra, glanced at Hoshino Shuu and said, "Understood."

Upon seeing Hoshino Hideaki appear, Obito Uchiha hurriedly asked, "Hideaki-sensei, what do we do now?"

"Kaguya seems to be absorbing chakra."

Hoshino Hideyoshi said, "Kaguya only obtained half of the Tailed Beast; I extracted the other half, so her power needs to be extracted from other ninjas."

Itachi Uchiha reacted very quickly: "Sensei, Kaguya can only extract the chakra from the ninjas here, or outside, right?"

Xingxia Xiu smiled and said, "Not bad."

Uchiha Shisui said, "That's why Hide-sensei made us stay in this space, not just because it leads to the other five alternate dimensions."

"Unfortunately, we missed our chance just now."

"We should interfere with her chakra absorption."

Xingxia Xiu said, "It's alright, it's difficult for you to interfere with her."

"Kaguya consumes very little energy to use her space-time abilities here, and she can transfer you to other dimensions at any time."

Itachi Uchiha asked, "Sensei, what about Sasuke and the others?"

He was still worried about his younger brother Sasuke.

Hoshino Hide smiled and said, "Itachi, it's a good thing to believe in your own abilities. You must have confidence in everything you do."

"However, we must also have faith in the younger generation."

"You can't always treat Sasuke and the others like children."

"At Sasuke's age, you were an elite member of the Anbu, leading countless dangerous missions."

"Sasuke and Menma have grown up."

Uchiha Itachi remained silent.

Uchiha Shisui said, "Shu-sensei, Itachi is a brother complex guy."

"Besides, Kaguya is far too powerful. If it were Madara Uchiha, we wouldn't need to worry so much."

Everyone nodded in agreement with Uchiha Shisui's words.

Kaguya Otsutsuki displayed incredible fighting power.

It possesses space-time abilities, the ability to absorb Susanoo's power, and the terrifying Eighty Gods Void Strike.

Hoshino Hide laughed, "If you don't believe in Sasuke and the others, you should at least believe in your teacher, me, right?"

"I haven't even used my full strength yet!"

"I've told you about the Sage of Six Paths. He's dead, but he's not really dead."

"Kaguya's resurrection was within his expectations, so I must give Menma and Sasuke a chance to grow further and to obtain the power of the Six Paths."

The power of the Six Paths?

Everyone was startled.

Hoshino Hideyoshi said, "Becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki can also be seen as obtaining the power of the Six Paths. You can also consider it as reaching a certain level."

"Like Chunin, Jonin, and even Kage."

"I told you about the division of strength before. Above Kage is Super Kage, then Quasi-Six Paths, and then Six Paths, which is the level of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki."

"Under normal circumstances, it is extremely difficult to reach the Six Paths level. Sasuke and Menma have this opportunity, and as their father and teacher, of course I should help them achieve it."

At this moment, everyone understood Xingxiaxiu's good intentions.

"Teacher Xiu truly deserves to be called the most competent teacher!"

Minato Namikaze sighed inwardly, then silently apologized, "I clasped my hands in a respectful gesture to Jiraiya-sensei; I didn't mean to blame you!"

In terms of teaching, Jiraiya really can't compare to Hoshino Shu.

Of course, Jiraiya and Hoshino Shu are two different kinds of teachers.

Hideaki Hoshino excels at teaching ninjutsu, or rather, in terms of skill; he has a very long-term vision.

Jiraiya not only taught ninjutsu, but also imparted life lessons.

In Minato Namikaze's perception, Hoshino was a true ninja master, while Jiraiya was more like a father. (End of Chapter)
