The sun rises in the east.

When Kushina Uzumaki woke up, the first thing she did was look for Hoshino Shuu's figure. Then she saw someone sitting cross-legged with his back to her outside the window, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This person is very different.

Although the demon mask she was wearing was frightening, it was completely different from the ANBU ninjas she had encountered before.

Although she didn't know much, she was extremely sensitive.

Even though she hasn't become a Jinchūriki yet, the way those ANBU ninjas look at her is already different.

"Senior A!"

Kushina Uzumaki woke up with messy hair and spoke in a relaxed tone.

Xingxia Xiu turned around and smiled, "Everything is ready, go wash up quickly!"

Kushina's eyes lit up, and she quickly turned around and rushed off to wash up: "I understand!"

Five minutes later, Kushina Uzumaki pushed open the window and came to stand in front of Hoshino Shuu.

"Hey, this is breakfast I prepared for you."

Xingxia Xiu said, "Let's talk while we eat."

Kushina Uzumaki took the breakfast and stuffed it into her mouth while curiously looking at the balloon in Hoshino's left hand?

"Waaah... Is this it?"

"Using balloons for training?"

Kushina Uzumaki found it unbelievable.

Holding up the water balloon, Hoshino Shu laughed and said, "Don't underestimate this water balloon; it can help you master the Rasengan faster."

"Watch closely."

"The first stage of Rasengan training involves injecting chakra into this and using the rotation of the chakra to burst the water balloon."

As he spoke, Xingxia Xiu channeled his chakra, causing the water balloon in his hand to burst with a pop, spilling water all over the ground.

Kushina Uzumaki blinked: "It looks simple."

Xingxia Xiu chuckled: "You'll know once you finish breakfast and try it."

"Uh-huh!"

"I'm going to be the Hokage's woman, this is definitely no problem for me!"

Kushina Uzumaki was full of energy. She quickly wolfed down her breakfast and then couldn't wait to pick up a water balloon and try it out.

Kushina Uzumaki then realized that popping a water balloon was not easy.

However, she is not someone who gives up easily.

Seeing Kushina Uzumaki sweating profusely from her training, Hoshino thought for a moment and said, "Come on, I'll take you somewhere that might be able to help you."

Kushina Uzumaki looked up: "Where are we?"

"You'll see once you follow."

Hoshita Shu leaped into the air, and Uzumaki Kushina quickly followed.

A moment later, the two arrived at a riverbank.

Xingxia Xiu raised her hand and formed a hand seal, pulling the vines from the ground and forming a wooden basin with a downward-sloping center.

Then, with a swift stroke of his knife, he cut the wooden basin off the vines, took it to the river, filled it with water, and brought it back.

"Watch closely!"

Xingxia Xiu reached into the wooden basin and stirred it, and the water in the basin quickly formed a whirlpool.

Kushina Uzumaki looked at the spinning vortex and suddenly understood: "Senior Kou, you mean to make the chakra inside the water sphere rotate like this?"

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "You can think of chakra as your hand, an extension of your body, and control it to rotate and stir the water."

"The flowing water has tension and friction, and when combined with the power of chakra, it can shatter the water balloon."

Kushina Uzumaki nodded seriously: "I understand!"

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "Let's go to school!"

Kushina Uzumaki's attention was entirely focused on how to pop the water balloons along the way, and she had completely lost interest in going to school.

Hidden in the shadows, Hoshino watched as Kushina Uzumaki diligently trained during breaks and lunchtime.

Excellent, very promising!

According to Hoshino Shu, it would be quite nice to train a powerful Jinchūriki.

In the afternoon, after school, Kushina Uzumaki ran home, leaped to the windowsill, and excitedly cheered as she looked at Shu Hoshita: "Kou-senpai, I did it! I popped the water balloon!"

Xingxia Xiu immediately gave a thumbs up: "Well done!"

"Come, let me see."

As she spoke, Xingxiaxiu handed over a water balloon.

Kushina Uzumaki caught it and held it in her arms, then injected chakra into it. In less than three seconds, with a bang, the water balloon shattered, and water splashed everywhere.

"Let's begin the second phase!"

Xingxia Xiu pulled a bag of balls from behind him to the front, then took one out: "The second stage is to use the same method to break this ball open."

As he spoke, Xingxia Xiu personally demonstrated, and in a second, after dashing left and right, the ball popped open with a "pop".

Kushina Uzumaki nodded immediately: "I understand!"

Kushina Uzumaki took a ball out of the bag and began her training.

The Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Kushina Uzumaki, who was training, and a question mark appeared on his forehead.

What kind of cultivation is this?

It looks like they're practicing some kind of ninjutsu?

Did Xingxia Show create it itself?

Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat curious.

After all, Xingxia Xiu has a history of developing powerful illusions.

……

Seeing Kushina Uzumaki, exhausted from an hour of training, sitting on the ground, Hoshino Hide took out two bento boxes: "Hey, let's eat dinner first!"

"Thanks!"

Kushina Uzumaki accepted it without ceremony and began to wolf it down.

Xingxia Xiu took off her mask and started eating.

"I didn't expect Senior A to be so young!"

Kushina Uzumaki's voice rang out.

Xingxia Xiu chuckled: "Of course, I'm a genius!"

"By the way, Kushina, you should have learned sealing techniques, right?"

Kushina Uzumaki nodded: "Yes, it was Mito-sama who taught me."

Hoshino Hide smiled and said, "Then I have a question about sealing techniques, may I ask you for guidance?"

Kushina Uzumaki's eyes widened, a little nervous: "Um... this... can I?"

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "Of course."

"The Uzumaki clan is skilled in sealing techniques. Your talent in sealing techniques must be very high. You can teach me without any problem."

Kushina Uzumaki nodded emphatically: "I understand!"

"I will try my best!"

"I will definitely ensure that A... imparts his knowledge to you very well, Senior A!"

Suddenly, Hoshita Shu smiled and extended his hand: "Hello, I'm Hoshita Shu. It's nice to meet you, Kushina!"

"Hoshino Hide, is that your real name, senpai? You're as delicate as you look!"

Kushina Uzumaki extended her hand: "Hello, Hide-senpai! I am Kushina Uzumaki, a person destined to become Hokage!"

Xingxia Xiu frankly said, "I have high hopes for you."

Tsunade, who had just arrived, overheard their conversation and couldn't help but secretly scoff, "If I knew what this guy looked like when he killed someone, I wouldn't describe him as delicate."

At this moment, Hoshita Hide said, "Tsunade, would you like to eat together?"

Kushina Uzumaki turned around immediately, overjoyed, "Lady Tsunade!"

Tsunade stepped forward: "You probably didn't buy any for me, did you?"

Hoshino Hide gestured with his own bento box, saying, "If you don't mind, you can have mine."

Kushina Uzumaki quickly replied, "Mine is fine too."

Tsunade waved her hand: "No need, I've already eaten."

She glanced at the ball beside her and asked, "What's this for?"

Kushina Uzumaki smiled and said, "Senior Hide taught me a powerful ninjutsu, which is for training."

Tsunade raised an eyebrow, immediately recalling the Rasengan she had seen the night before, and nodded, saying, "It is indeed a very powerful ninjutsu. Good luck!"

Kushina Uzumaki nodded emphatically.

After dinner, Kushina Uzumaki took the ball to the living room to continue her training.

Hoshino and Tsunade arrived at the rooftop.

"If you need the slime from the Wet Bone Forest to aid in your cultivation of immortal arts, you can come find me."

Tsunade said.

Xingxia Xiu chuckled, "Then I won't be polite."

"By the way, I have some insights into cell activation; I wonder if you'd be interested?"

Tsunade's eyes lit up immediately: "Is it an ability from my grandfather's cells?"

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "It was indeed derived from the cells of the First Hokage."

Tsunade immediately began to inquire with great interest.

Time flies.

After talking on the rooftop for more than two hours, Tsunade left without any hesitation.

After watching Tsunade leave, Hoshino returned to the windowsill. Inside, on the floor, Kushina Uzumaki was still rolling a ball.

Let's call it a day!

Xingxia Xiu spoke.

Kushina Uzumaki looked up, her smile full of energy despite her exhaustion: "Shu-senpai, I still have plenty of chakra!"

Xingxia Xiu shook his head: "Work-life balance is key."

The latest novel is first published here!

"How about we discuss some knowledge about sealing techniques?"

Kushina Uzumaki's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she immediately nodded with great interest. She dropped the ball and went to sit down by the window to discuss sealing techniques with Hideaki Hoshino.

Although Kushina Uzumaki is young, she is highly talented and has been taught by Mito Uzumaki. Her grasp of the basics of sealing techniques is extremely solid, far surpassing that of Hideaki Hoshino, who only started as a student later in life.

Furthermore, this kind of foundation is also what Star Show needs.

Before they knew it, it was 10 p.m. Kushina Uzumaki was reluctantly sent off by Shu Hoshino to wash up and go to bed.

After Kushina Uzumaki fell asleep, Hoshino closed the window and then created six wooden clones to leave.

Cultivation must not stop!

……

The night passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the Forest of Death, the wooden clone, who had just finished cultivating and was about to dissipate, suddenly paused. On a whim, it leaped up and arrived at the deer-raising grounds of the Nara clan.

"It's still in horse form!"

The wooden clone was quite surprised to see the horse that the original body had transformed from a deer.

Moreover, judging from the fact that this horse is all alone in this remote corner, it has clearly been ostracized by the deer herd.

That is probably why they were not discovered by the Nara clan.

"The effect is so long-lasting, it might even be a permanent transformation."

The wooden clone guessed, then stepped forward, knocked the horse unconscious, picked it up, and carried it back to the Death Forest.

Disembowelment.

Then the wooden clone discovered that it was now completely constructed like a horse.

In other words, the deer was transformed into a horse from the inside out.

Furthermore, it is highly likely to be a permanent change.

That's quite something.

"But how can this principle be understood?"

The wooden clone felt it had discovered something extraordinary, but it still didn't seem to be of much use.

However, he was too lazy to think too much about it. He first destroyed the body to cover up the evidence, and then transformed into a big tree.

Outside Kushina Uzumaki's house.

Xingxia Xiu was taken aback after receiving the memory feedback from the last wooden clone.

Calling a deer a horse – that's an incredibly powerful ability!

The transformation techniques in the ninja world are merely changes in appearance.

But calling a deer a horse is a complete transformation of a living organism.

If one could understand the underlying principles, that would be simply incredible!

but……

Xingxia Xiu said helplessly, "There's simply no way to start."

"If this time is extended, perhaps we can ask Orochimaru to modify a deer into a horse to see if we can solidify this state."

"Wait... there is a direction we can try."

"Find a deer that can be used as a summoning beast, and then I will perform the hand seals to cast the transformation spell."

"It's not impossible to refine ordinary transformation techniques..."

After careful consideration, I feel that Star Show is worth a try.

Even if we fail, it's not a big deal.

The key question is, where can we find a deer that can be used as a spirit beast?

It's clearly impossible to raise one on your own in such a short time.

"The Nara clan..."

Xingxia Xiu immediately created a wood clone to find Tsunade.

Although he knew someone in Nara, it was clearly of little use.

There were also Nara clan ninjas in Root, but they didn't have much of a relationship with them.

Given Tsunade's status, she should be able to act as a middleman.

After breakfast, Hoshino secretly accompanied Kushina Uzumaki to school.

Meanwhile, the wood clone went to Konoha Hospital to find Tsunade and told her why he had come.

"Using a deer as a summoning beast?"

Tsunade was extremely surprised.

The wood clone thought for a moment and explained, "It's not that I want to use a deer as a summoning beast, but rather that I want a deer with chakra that can cooperate with me in performing ninjutsu, so that I can conduct a ninjutsu experiment."

"I wonder if the Nara clan has deer like this."

Tsunade was filled with doubt: "A ninjutsu experiment?"

"They really insist on using deer?"

"It's unclear whether the Nara clan exists; we'll have to ask them to find out."

The wood clone, with skin as thick as a city wall, said: "The matter of ninjutsu is a secret for now. Tsunade, please ask around for me."

"Don't worry, it will absolutely not harm the deer."

"I only need to borrow it for four days."

"No, it's not a loan, it's a lease, one million taels!"

Tsunade scoffed, "You seem to be quite wealthy."

Xingxia Xiu smiled without saying a word.

Kakuzu made a great contribution.

"I can ask for you, get lost!"

Tsunade waved her hand impatiently.

"Thanks a lot then. I'll treat you to drinks next time."

After saying that, the wooden clone disappeared in a flash.

Tsunade stood there for a moment, then left a clone behind before leaving Konoha Hospital and visiting the Nara clan head's house.

An hour later.

Tsunade left the Nara clan with a smile on her face, accompanied by a deer.

Deer are considered to be spiritual creatures.

borrowed.

It's free.

For the first time, Tsunade felt that money was so easy to earn.

……

Outside the Ninja Academy, Hoshino Hide looked at the deer that Tsunade had brought and couldn't help but give it a thumbs up.

As expected of Tsunade, she really has a lot of face!

Money in one hand, deer in the other.

Tsunade took the money and left.

Xingxia Xiu and the deer locked eyes.

"I heard you want me to cooperate in testing a ninjutsu?"

The deer suddenly spoke.

Xingxia Xiu was slightly surprised.

However, direct communication would be best. Hoshino nodded and said, "A special transformation technique."

"I'll form the hand seals, and you cooperate by casting the transformation spell."

The deer nodded: "No problem."

"However, you'll be in charge of my meals for the next few days. Three meals a day, each with corn, soybeans, barley, carrots, and wheatgrass. As for fruit, buy whatever is in season, at least three different kinds for each meal."

Beneath the mask, Xingxia Xiu's eyelids twitched involuntarily.

I'm taking a bus from my hometown to Changsha today, so I'll update this chapter first. I'll try to write more once I get to Changsha. Please forgive me.
