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

The task of finding Otsutsuki Isshiki was, of course, issued by Hoshino Shu.

This is undoubtedly a long-term task.

Otsutsuki Isshiki is certainly extremely dangerous, but Jigen might not be.

So Xingxiaxiu will still post the task and search slowly.

Menma and his two companions happily set off after accepting the mission.

On the other side, Xuan Yi went out and arrived at the Yamanaka Hai family's place.

"Xuan Yi!"

Yamanaka Ino, upstairs, waved from the window: "Wait for me."

A short while later, Yamanaka Ino, wearing a crop top, came downstairs and met up with Genichi. The two chatted and laughed as they strolled down the street.

What mission?

What's more important than picking up girls?

The last pharmacist to leave the house went to his uncle, Rope Tree's, house.

However, she was not there to find Nawaki, but to find Nawaki's daughter, Karin. The two of them then joined Sai and trained together.

Yes, the three of them belong to the same ninja team.

"The teacher is busy right now, where should we begin?"

Karin, with her red hair, had a blade of grass dangling from her mouth, her hands behind her head, and said leisurely.

The pharmacist looked at Sai: "Sai, what do you think?"

Sai thought for a moment and suggested, "Since the teacher isn't here, how about we just do basic training for now, aside from our individual cultivation?"

Karin nodded repeatedly, "That's settled then!"

She wanted to slack off.

Cultivation is too tiring.

Anyway, the ninja world is about to be unified, so there shouldn't be any more wars in the future.

As for missions, there shouldn't be any dangerous missions in the future, right?

Karin figured that her current strength should be enough, right?

and……

Karin's eyes darted around as she glanced at Yakushi and Sai, a smile playing on her lips: With Yakushi and Sai around, there's absolutely nothing to worry about!

Looking at Karin's appearance, the pharmacist sighed and said gently, "Karin, you're too lazy. This won't do!"

Looking at the gentle pharmacist, Karin immediately hugged her arm and said with a grin, "Well, we just finished the war, so we need to relax a bit!"

"Work-life balance is something Teacher Xiu always talks about."

The pharmacist was exasperated; Karin always had a legitimate reason to slack off, and she could always bring up some teacher.

Well, too many people have taught them.

Needless to say, it's my own dad.

During their special training at Root, Uchiha Shisui also taught them.

Not to mention Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who became the instructor after graduating from the Ninja Academy.

"By the way, Pharmacist, what are your plans for your cultivation next?"

Karin shifted the topic.

Sai, who had been silent until now, looked at the pharmacist curiously: "Do you want to continue your training in medical ninjutsu?"

The pharmacist shook his head: "I'll continue trying Ice Release!"

Karin asked in surprise, "Pharmacist, didn't you give up?"

"Besides, you've awakened Teacher Xiu's medical bloodline limit, shouldn't you delve deeper into that area?"

Sai nodded in agreement with Karin's idea.

The pharmacist said, "That's true in theory, but you just need to keep practicing medical ninjutsu."

"And with my dad teaching me at home, it's very easy to master."

Karin sighed after hearing this, "Well, that's true."

"After all, you inherited Master Shu's bloodline limit, so the secret techniques are already there!"

"Teacher Xiu is amazing! She can even use Water Release techniques to heal! Hahaha, we won't have to worry about serious injuries anymore!"

The pharmacist sighed and said, "Karin, have you forgotten your own constitution?"

Sai laughed, "Karin, I should be the one saying that!"

Karin immediately put her hands on her hips and glared at him: "Sai, don't even think about biting me. From now on, let the pharmacist treat you. As long as you don't die immediately, it shouldn't be a problem for the pharmacist."

Upon hearing this, the pharmacist quickly replied, "It's not that exaggerated. Although I have a lot of chakra, it can't compare to my brother or Menma, let alone my father."

"Without strong chakra, the effectiveness of Mitoba energy will be greatly reduced."

"It's best if everyone doesn't get hurt."

Karin grinned and said, "Chakra? You can just bite me when the time comes."

The pharmacist and Sai exchanged a glance, both showing a helpless expression.

This crazy woman is beyond saving.

Moreover, this personality is unlike Uncle Nawaki's or Aunt Erika's.

The pharmacist felt a headache coming on and quickly changed the subject, asking Sai, "Sai, what about you?"

Sai had a clear goal and said directly, "Let's use Ink Release first, then we'll think about the rest."

The pharmacist nodded: "If you master Ink Release, Sai's Super Beast Imitation Drawing will definitely be even more powerful."

"And that way, we won't need to go through the hassle of carrying special ink."

With that, the pharmacist smiled and said, "Sai, once you've mastered the Ink Release, I'll ask my dad to make you two special pens!"

Sai smiled and nodded quickly, "Thank you, then I won't stand on ceremony with you."

Afterwards, Yakushi and Sai each sat down cross-legged under a tree and began their respective training.

When it comes to the development, or even the exploration, of Ice Release, Yakushi has been working on it for quite some time.

Although she initially followed the path of a medical ninja, she mastered Ice Release before her previous medical bloodline limit, Tensui Body.

But to everyone's surprise, instead of awakening Ice Release, he awakened Steel Release.

Yes, Steel Release, a bloodline limit that even a pharmacist had never imagined.

Even Genichi and Menma didn't awaken this bloodline limit, only she did.

Therefore, mastering Steel Release temporarily halted Yakushi's development of Ice Release.

After mastering Steel Release, the Heavenly Water Body, a medical bloodline limit combining Water Release and Yang Release, awakened again.

The pharmacist perfectly avoided the ice escape technique.

But the seemingly gentle, even somewhat weak-willed, pharmacist is also a bit stubborn.

The more unattainable something is, the more you want it.

Furthermore, they have their own principles and are not lacking in perseverance.

Keep using Ice Release!

The doctor formed hand seals, and as smoke rose, more than a dozen clones sat cross-legged around the big tree. Then, with a snap, they clasped their hands together and began to attempt the fusion of Ice Release techniques.

Within their palms, chakra of both Wind Release and Water Release nature transformations surged.

Under another large tree, Sai also used the Shadow Clone Technique, but he only created two shadow clones.

Of course, this doesn't mean he can only use two shadow clones.

Shadow clones divide chakra evenly; the more chakra is used, the less chakra the shadow clones actually have, and they can't last long.

If your chakra reserves aren't large enough, having more shadow clones isn't necessarily better.

Sai created a shadow clone and clasped his hands together, beginning to develop his Ink Release technique.

Seeing her two companions begin their serious training, Karin couldn't help but sigh, feeling rather bored.

She lay down on the grass, watching the clouds drift by, her mind wandering.

Her parents, Nawaki and Erika, don't have high expectations for her; they just want her to be happy.

Moreover, linosin itself is positioned as an auxiliary agent.

In addition, she inherited her mother's abilities: a vast amount of chakra, healing abilities, chakra replenishment, the Uzumaki clan's Adamantine Sealing Technique, and the sensory secret technique Kagura's Mind's Eye.

Within the team, her role is that of a sensory ninja and a sealing ninja.

In addition, he also knows a little bit about illusion magic.

The pharmacist is a medical ninja.

As for Sai, he also belongs to the category of sealing ninjas.

The entire squad is a support squad.

But as they grow, everyone in this support-type squad can play.

The pharmacist possesses steel-like strength, unparalleled power, and unmatched defense. If his iron fist touches him, he will either die or be seriously injured.

Not to mention Karin's Vajra Lock, it can be used to attack, seal, and transform into a barrier.

Sai's Super Beast Imitation Drawing also possesses offensive capabilities.

Moreover, besides the Super Beast Imitation Painting, Sai himself is skilled in swordsmanship.

The sun gradually became hotter.

Karin sat up, looked at her two companions who were still training, and stretched: "I'll find something to do too!"

She got up and sat down under a tree. After thinking for a moment, she clapped her hands and said, "Why don't we try Wood Release?"

The latest novel is first published here!

She was born with the five elements of water, earth, wind, thunder, and yin.

Furthermore, he had already mastered the transformations of water and earth properties, and had the foundation to practice Wood Escape Technique.

Although Nawaki didn't ask anything of Karin, he had already given her the scrolls on the development and training of Wood Release.

Although Karin had never practiced cultivation, she had read the scroll before, and she could still remember most of its contents.

Once she got interested, she just went for it.

Bang bang bang!

A series of shadow clones appeared, then each sat down and began to attempt to fuse with Wood Release.

On the other side, the pharmacist and Sai opened their eyes, glanced at each other, smiled, and then closed their eyes again to continue their training.

Unbeknownst to the three, Sarutobi Shinnosuke was watching this scene from a tree.

Seeing that the three students were training peacefully, Sarutobi Shinnosuke smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. Then, with a bang, he dispersed into a cloud of smoke.

Xuan Yi is in love, the pharmacist is practicing, and Mian Ma is going out on a mission with great enthusiasm.

The Hokage Building remained as busy as it had been yesterday.

However, Tsunade, the Fourth Hokage, was absent from today's meeting. But Kushina Uzumaki came over to give the order that Minato Namikaze, as the candidate for Fifth Hokage, would replace Tsunade to continue presiding over the meeting and make all decisions.

Tsunade's eagerness to relinquish power left everyone in Konoha feeling helpless.

When did the Hokage position become so hot to be fought?

Mitokado Hō and Utatane Koharu, in particular, had mixed feelings.

They were well aware of Danzo's burning desire for the Hokage position, but unfortunately...

Fortunately, Minato Namikaze was mentally prepared and had enough energy and ability to take on the heavy responsibility.

With the support of Hoshinobu and Tsunade, and the help of Kakashi, Itachi Uchiha, Shinnosuke Sarutobi, Asuma Sarutobi, and other young people, Minato Namikaze acted decisively and gradually promoted the transformation of the entire ninja world.

Kakashi and the others were busy as dogs, but Hoshino Shu was very leisurely.

He dragged Tsunade, who had overslept, to the hot spring resort to soak in the hot spring.

Then we saw Jiraiya collecting materials on the roof with his butt sticking out.

Tsunade's face darkened instantly, and Hoshino sighed, "Looks like I'll have to build a hot spring room at home from now on."

"Jiraiya!"

Tsunade roared.

Jiraiya on the roof stiffened, his face turning deathly pale.

He turned his head and saw Tsunade with Hoshino Shuu, and suddenly felt as if the world had gone dark.

The next moment, with a loud roar, the house cracked open, and Jiraiya fell off the roof, causing a series of gasps.

Then a large group of women wrapped in bath towels rushed out of the hot spring house.

Tsunade stared, because she knew that Jiraiya must have transformed.

Unfortunately, she couldn't tell, so she turned to Hoshino and asked, "Where's that guy?"

Xingxia Xiu gestured towards the older brother and sister.

Tsunade rushed forward immediately, and Jiraiya's screams rang out.

Xingxia Xiu spread her hands and covered her eyes.

However, it must be said that Jiraiya was too experienced. He quickly used a clone to confuse Tsunade, while his main body made a clean getaway.

Jiraiya, who had fled all the way to the outskirts of town, finally sat down, panting heavily. "Shouldn't Tsunade be in a meeting?"

"Sigh, failed to gather materials. Looks like I'll have to look elsewhere."

After resting for a while, Jiraiya, with a bruised and swollen face, got up and left Konoha.

He plans to continue his previous trip.

……

Jiraiya did not interrupt their enjoyment of the hot spring. Hoshino and Tsunade played in the hot spring for an hour before leaving.

After returning home, he accompanied Kushina Uzumaki to study cooking.

As for Pharmacist Nonou, she works at Konoha Hospital.

Before we knew it, the morning had passed.

At noon, the pharmacist returned home to find the meal already prepared.

Looking at the people at the table, he couldn't help but ask, "Dad, where's the noodles?"

Xingxia Xiu said, "Your younger brother has left the village on a mission."

The pharmacist asked curiously, "Kakashi-sensei seems very busy, doesn't he?"

Xuan Yi smiled and said, "Mianma and the others went out of the village alone to carry out a mission."

The pharmacist was surprised and instinctively worried about his younger brother's safety, but thinking of his brother's strength, his worry lessened by half. However, he still asked, "Dad, you actually agreed?"

Xingxia Xiu laughed and said, "You've all grown up."

Kushina Uzumaki also laughed and said, "Menma may be careless, but he can be quite clever at times. There's no need to worry about him too much."

Hoshino immediately said, "Menma's intelligence is all inherited from you."

Xuan Yi and the pharmacist exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh: Dad's skin is really thick.

Kushina Uzumaki, however, was very happy.

Tsunade pouted, while Yakushi Nonou smiled gently.

The family began their lunch in this atmosphere.

"Pharmacists, would you like to go out on your own to carry out the mission?"

While eating, Xingxia Xiu asked.

The pharmacist shook his head: "Dad, we don't need it for now."

"We all need time to cultivate ourselves!"

Xingxia Xiu asked curiously, "Oh, what kind of training are you doing?"

The pharmacist laughed and said, "I'm practicing Ice Release, Karin is developing Wood Release, and Sai is practicing Black Release."

They are all developing bloodline limits.

This is also an impact of the Star Show.

Starting with Kakashi and his generation, the development of bloodline limits has gradually become a direction that Jonin inevitably try.

Although very few people can cultivate a bloodline limit, it's not impossible.

Furthermore, bloodline limits can be passed down from generation to generation through bloodline inheritance, and there will be more and more bloodline limits in the future.

This is a great start.

So Xingxia Xiu smiled and nodded: "Very good, keep it up, Dad believes in you."

The pharmacist's eyes crinkled with laughter: "Thank you, Dad."

"However, if Sai completes the Ink Release technique, could you please help make two special pens, Dad?"

Swish!

The whole family turned their attention to the pharmacist.

The pharmacist paused for a moment, then blushed: "That's not true."

Hoshino Hideki readily agreed, "Of course, no problem."

"As for the calligraphy brush, I'll use materials from the Divine Tree to make it for him." (End of Chapter)
