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

Chapter 80 The Profound Truth of Physical Techniques! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

Although it's a pity, I'm not disappointed about the Star Show.

The Kage of a village is not so easy to kill, especially the Kage of the five great ninja villages, who all possess formidable strength.

Of course, if the wood clone had used the Wind Release: Rasengan to hit the Third Raikage, it might have been able to kill him.

However, if it's a Wind Release: Rasengan, it would be very difficult to hit.

The Third Raikage, sensing danger, might not necessarily adopt the same strategy.

"Three heads, let's go!"

Xingxia Xiu walked out of the wooden house.

Inuzuka Ryo appeared: "Captain, did the clone attempt fail?"

Hoshino Hideyoshi said, "It can't be called a failure. The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of the Cloud Ninja is dead."

Beneath the mask, Inuzuka Ryo's mouth gaped open.

They were just trying to gather information about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and you killed their Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

ruthless!

fierce!

"As expected of the captain!"

Inuzuka Ryo gave a thumbs up, and the black ball next to him immediately barked in agreement.

……

When Hoshino returned to Konoha, it was already late afternoon.

Upon meeting Danzo, Hoshino reported that he had killed the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and injured the Third Raikage.

Danzo fell silent upon hearing this.

The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki is dead?!

He originally thought that Xingxia Xiu was just getting some minor revenge on the Yunren, but he never expected...

At this moment, Danzo's gaze towards Hoshino Shū became complicated.

This subordinate always brings him surprises and delights.

But isn't that a bit too capable?

The Root does what the Dark Division dares not do.

It's certainly imposing, but not too arrogant.

The roots are nameless guardians hidden in the darkness. Shouldn't they keep a low profile?

Before Hoshino returned, Danzo had been given a subtle warning by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

However, upon hearing such a record, Danzo was also shocked for a moment, and his intention to reprimand Hoshino Shigehide vanished instantly.

"With the death of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, it won't be easy for Kumogakure to cultivate a new Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, which means they will be short of a trump card for a long time."

Danzo praised, "A, you did a great job."

"I will explain this to Hiruzen."

He's going to slap Hiruzen Sarutobi in the face!

In response to Danzo's praise, Hoshishita Hideyoshi said, "I was just following Lord Danzo's instructions."

"If Kumogakure dares to do anything detrimental to the village, we must retaliate with the most severe measures to deter those who harbor ill intentions towards the village."

This statement struck a chord with Danzo: "Well said."

"Hiruzen is still too weak."

"The purpose of Kumogakure's spying on the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is self-evident. Since that's the case, we must retaliate."

"What the Anbu can't do, they should leave to Root!"

Xingxia Xiu immediately chimed in, "Yes, Your subordinate has remembered!"

Danzo nodded slightly: "Go and rest."

"The situation in the ninja world is tense recently, and a major war could break out at any time. Be prepared."

Xingxia Xiu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately nodded: "Understood!"

After Hoshino Hideyuki left, Danzo immediately went to the Hokage Building to find Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was about to leave work.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was equally shocked to hear the news of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki's death.

Danzo looked on with a smug satisfaction and said in a deep voice, "Hiruzen, Kumogakure is now behind us in terms of Jinchūriki. We should be more forceful in our approach against Kumogakure."

"And with a weapon like Under the Stars, we can do even more."

Hiruzen Sarutobi snapped out of his daze and sensed Danzo's intense ambition. He said in a deep voice, "Danzo, don't be too hasty."

"We must avoid becoming the target of other ninja villages."

"As for Xingxia Xiu, this child is indeed very outstanding, and that is precisely why we need to protect him so that he can go further."

Danzo strongly disagreed, saying, "Since we have already succeeded once, then we can cultivate a second and a third Wood Release user."

In his view, apart from himself, all the other Root ninjas were tools that could be sacrificed at any time.

The Star Show is special, but it's still a tool that can be lost at any time.

For the sake of the village, he was willing to sacrifice even himself.

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned: "You want to restart the Wood Release experiment?"

"That kid was just lucky; the village can't afford that kind of loss anymore."

Danzo wanted to argue, but he held back.

If that's the case, then it's perfectly reasonable for him to start the experiment in private.

……

After washing up, Hoshino left the Root base, went to the bustling streets of Konoha to buy some snacks, and then went straight to the Senju ancestral home.

With Tsunade absent, only Nawaki remained in the vast mansion.

The poor kid is eating instant noodles.

This sight reminded Xingxia Xiu of Naruto.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Rope Tree!"

Xingxia Xiu entered carrying her belongings.

Rope Tree turned around upon hearing the voice, then exclaimed with delight, "Brother Xiu!"

"Hey, let's eat this together!"

Xingxia Xiu shook the thing in her hand.

Rope Tree's eyes lit up, and he quickly went to get bowls and chopsticks.

Soon, the two sat down together and started eating voraciously.

"And you're saying, 'Rope Tree, how come you're eating instant noodles?'"

"I treated my classmates to barbecue earlier."

Okay, that's too generous.

"Brother Xiu, you promised to teach me ninjutsu."

"Don't worry, I'll teach you today."

"Really?"

"Of course, we'll start after we finish eating."

……

After half an hour.

Inside the courtyard, Hoshino Hide's expression was solemn: "Shouki, what I'm going to teach you is the ultimate secret of physical techniques."

"The ultimate secrets of physical combat?"

Rope Tree opened its eyes wide, full of anticipation.

Xingxia Xiu said in a serious tone, "Turn around, I'll demonstrate first."

Rope Tree, unsuspecting, turned around.

Xingxia Xiu immediately formed the Tiger Seal and thrust it at the buttocks of the rope tree.

Rope Tree's expression twisted instantly, followed by a scream, and he jumped more than ten meters.

After a while.

Rope Tree covered his buttocks and looked at Hoshino Shu with a resentful expression.

Hoshino Hide said in a serious tone, "Rope Tree, don't be fooled by how simple this technique is; I'm only using the most basic version."

"For the enemy, you can use kunai, or bring explosive tags."

"This move is a surefire way to incapacitate the enemy."

Rope Tree nodded, but still felt it wasn't cool enough, and added, "Brother Xiu, isn't this move a bit too underhanded?"

Hoshino immediately frowned and reprimanded, "Nawaki, when dealing with enemies, no amount of cruelty is too much."

"To be merciful to the enemy is to be irresponsible to oneself and one's comrades."

"On the battlefield, you only need one attitude towards the enemy."

"That means taking care of him!"

Rope Tree nodded emphatically: "I'll remember that, Brother Xiu."

Hoshino nodded, his expression relaxing, and smiled, "After you graduate, I'll teach you a real ninjutsu."

"However, you absolutely mustn't let your sister know that I taught her."

Rope Tree became excited and nodded repeatedly: "Of course, I'll keep it a complete secret!"
