Eight minutes!

The wood clone was slightly disappointed, as it only lasted about three minutes longer than Naruto in the early stages.

Xingxia Xiu laughed and said, "Eight minutes is already pretty good. I'm not very skilled yet, and I still have a lot of my stamina reserved."

"With a little more practice, I should be able to maintain a combat duration of ten minutes."

The wood clone thought for a moment and said, "We can also use clones to store Sage Chakra."

"In addition, using Advent of the Tree World on the battlefield allows one to absorb a large amount of chakra at once, thus increasing the duration of Sage Mode."

"However, you were in Sage Mode for a bit too long just now."

Xingxia Xiu nodded, estimated for a moment, and said, "It will take about six seconds, which is a bit long, but it can be shortened. There is a lot of room for improvement."

He had only just completed his cultivation of immortal arts.

With this state of complete focus, there is still room for improvement in all aspects.

First, he needs to shorten the time it takes to enter Sage Mode, otherwise he will be too unsuitable for the battlefield.

Six seconds is enough to die many times over.

Otherwise, you'd have to split up to hold them off, or have a partner hold them off to buy time, which is too troublesome.

The way Hashirama Senju and Minato Namikaze open their eyes with a snap is much more sophisticated and stylish.

"Is the new status about to be updated?"

The wood clone gave a reminder, then transformed into a large tree.

Xingxia Xiu finally came to her senses, not expecting that seven days had passed so quickly.

However, it seems that the technique of using light and heavy rocks has not been developed.

However, in the midst of his mastery of immortal techniques, he paid no attention to his light-as-a-swallow trait.

After ending his "immortal mode," Xingxia Xiu sat down again to summarize his experience.

A moment later, the 28th arrived, and the new status was updated on time.

Current status: Unyielding to the death

Note: In this state, even if you die, you will not yield, compromise, or back down.

Refresh countdown: 167:59:58

"Isn't this... a bit inflexible?"

Xingxia Xiu thought to himself, "A true man knows when to yield and when to stand firm!"

She looked away, then got up and went home to sleep.

I've been working so hard these past few days that I haven't had a proper night's sleep in ages.

The body is still growing, so it's important to get enough sleep.

Silent all night.

The following day, Xingxia Xiu got up early as usual and carried out her morning training routine. This is an essential training method for continuously exploring the body's potential and requires perseverance.

After morning training, he brought breakfast to Tsunade's house.

Rope Tree has already gotten up and is practicing with a ball in the yard.

This kid has been like this for the past few days, getting up earlier than the chickens and going to bed later than the dogs.

Hideaki Hoshino must admit that Nawaki has a strong work ethic and is very hardworking.

If he doesn't die young, even if he doesn't become Hokage, he'll still be a top-tier Jonin.

Based on current assessments, while Nawaki's chakra reserves are not exaggerated, they far exceed those of other people his age.

It could even be said to be in a class of its own.

Once he reaches adulthood, he should be able to surpass Tsunade and be described as being at the level of a tailed beast.

Of course, there are nine tailed beasts besides the Zero-Tails.

Comparable to the One-Tailed Beast is at the level of a Tailed Beast, and comparable to the Nine-Tailed Beast is also at the level of a Tailed Beast, but the difference is huge.

Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi, was undoubtedly the latter.

"The sealing technique is progressing a bit slowly..."

As Xingxia Xiu watched the rope tree cultivate, he secretly pondered, "Now that we have immortal techniques, the Mingshen Sect can give it a try."

"However, the Ming Shen Sect alone is not enough."

"I still need a way to seal the tailed beasts."

"Even the means of splitting the tailed beasts."

The Corpse Demon Seal is complete!

This is one of the few methods of splitting tailed beasts that Hoshino Shu knows.

"Don't rush... If you can't learn it yourself, then you must have someone you trust."

"Kushina is one, and Tsunade is another... but for the Reaper Death Seal, I'll have to do it myself, unless..."

Xingxia Xiu's mind raced with ideas, constantly refining her future plans.

Suddenly, an explosion was heard.

Immediately following was Rope Tree's loud laughter.

When Hoshino came to his senses, he saw Nawaki laughing loudly while holding a broken ball.

"Well done!"

Xingxia Xiu smiled and praised.

Rope Tree turned around, overjoyed: "Brother Xiu, I've finished!"

"I'll be able to master the Rasengan soon!"

"Hahaha, I'm one step closer to becoming Hokage!"

Reaching out and pressing down on Rope Tree's head, Hoshino Hide said, "You've taken a step closer, but you still need to keep working hard and not become arrogant."

"You should know Minato, right?"

Rope Tree nodded.

Of course he knows him; they were classmates!

Hoshino Hideyoshi said, "I also taught this technique to Minato, and he mastered it even faster than you."

Rope Tree was startled; his smile faded, his inflated ego cooled, and he clenched his fist, saying, "Brother Xiu, I will continue to work hard!"

Xingxia Xiu nodded in satisfaction: "Hey, let's have breakfast first, then finish the last step!"

"Uh-huh!"

Rope Tree nodded, already starving, and began to wolf down the breakfast.

Looking at the rope tree, Hoshino Hide couldn't help but think of Naruto.

They really do look alike!

Although Nawaki also lost his parents at a young age, he had Tsunade as his older sister.

However, Nawaki didn't have the protagonist's halo like Naruto; a single explosive tag trap was enough to kill him, and he died prematurely.

It also changed the fate of others.

……

Rope Tree ate very quickly, and after finishing, it couldn't wait to finish up.

Xingxia Xiu composed herself and gave her final instructions.

Time passes little by little.

An hour later.

On Rope Tree's right hand, a small blue Rasengan condensed.

It's finally done!

Rope Tree was extremely excited. He let out a low shout, took a step forward, reached out, and blasted a Rasengan at a tree in the yard.

Click!

The tree trunk was snapped in half.

"I'm amazing!"

Rope Tree, praising his own work, then turned around and said, "Brother Xiu, what do you think about me graduating early after the New Year?"

Xingxia Xiu raised an eyebrow after hearing this: "It's not entirely impossible."

The latest novel is first published here!

"But I can't make that decision myself; you need Tsunade's approval."

Rope Tree was discouraged; her sister definitely wouldn't agree.

Looking at the dejected Nawaki, Hoshino Hide smiled and said, "You've worked very hard these past few days, so here's a reward for you, and consider it a New Year's gift as well."

Nawaki's eyes lit up, and all his unhappiness vanished: "Brother Xiu, is it a new ninjutsu?"

Hoshino nods: "An ultimate ninjutsu!"

Nawaki's eyes widened: "Ultimate ninjutsu?"

"Is it even more powerful than an S-rank ninjutsu?"

Xingxia Xiu nodded seriously: "Of course."

"This ninjutsu can defeat the Hokage."

Rope Tree swallowed hard, eager to learn: "Brother Xiu, please teach me quickly!"

"I know you like older sister, hehe, Jiraiya likes older sister too, but I'll definitely help you win her over."

What a good younger brother!

But I like it!

Xingxia Xiu solemnly instructed: "I can teach you the technique, but you must never reveal that I taught you this technique."

Rope Tree looked puzzled: "Why is that?"

Xingxia Xiu said in a serious tone: "There's no reason."

Although Nawaki didn't understand, she nodded and solemnly promised, "I know, I absolutely, absolutely won't tell anyone, especially not my sister."

Xingxia Xiu smiled and said, "Very good!"

Immediately, he grabbed the rope tree with one hand and leaped up, arriving at a secluded grove at an extremely fast speed.

"This will do!"

Xingxia Xiu said seriously, "Watch closely."

Rope Tree nodded, ready for battle.

The next moment, Xingxia Xiu formed a hand seal.

Bang!

A super cute twin-tailed girl appeared in front of Nawaki.

Rope Tree stared wide-eyed, his face blank.

That's it?

Is this the ultimate ninjutsu that Brother Xiu was talking about?

Isn't this a transformation technique?

Seeing Nawaki's expression, Hoshino Hide knew the kid hadn't quite grasped the concept yet, and immediately said seriously, "Do you think this is a transformation technique?"

Rope Tree scratched his head: "Brother Xiu, isn't this it?"

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "Of course, but it's not just that."

"This is seduction!"

"Food and sex are human nature."

"This is a ninjutsu that almost no man could withstand!"

really?

Don't lie to me!

I'm going to be the Hokage someday!

Nawaki was somewhat skeptical, but considering Hoshino Hide's authority, he finally nodded and said earnestly, "Brother Hide, I will study diligently."

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "Then let's begin!"

Rope Tree immediately formed hand seals and transformed.

"Too fat!"

"Think about the prettiest girl in your class."

The rope tree immediately changed again.

"Peace has returned!"

"My legs aren't long enough!"

"Make your voice even sweeter!"

……

The Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi wiped the blood from his nose, then looked seriously at Nawaki, who was constantly transforming inside the crystal ball, and Hoshino Shu, who was giving instructions.

At this moment, he seriously doubted whether this Hoshino Hide was actually Jiraiya in disguise.

But that's obviously impossible.

But... how could Danzo have raised such a subordinate?

Such unorthodox and incredibly lethal ninjutsu is not something that ordinary ninjas could develop.

Especially the dark and harsh root area.

Moreover, is it really a good idea to put such a ninja in Kushina's place?

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but think of a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki with a peculiar art style.

Could it be a disaster?

But considering Hoshino Shu's teachings to Kushina Uzumaki, plus Wood Release... and the special nature of Jinchuriki, it seems that this style is more suitable for guiding Jinchuriki.

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered carefully.

In fact, he could guess that Danzo wanted Hoshino Shizuku to take control of the Jinchuriki, but Hiruzen Sarutobi was confident that he could subdue and control Hoshino Shizuku, a talent in Wood Release.

But now that I think about it, his attitude towards teaching Kushina Uzumaki could have been an act.

But what's happening now is definitely a manifestation of one's true nature.

Such shows under the stars seem safer.

Just then, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly widened his eyes again, and blood gushed from both nostrils.

The scene displayed on the crystal ball was filled with all sorts of beautiful women.

After frantically wiping away the blood from his nose, Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the time and became restless: Should I leave work early today?

……

Inside the forest, Hoshino Shigehisa dispelled his ninjutsu and said to Nawaki, "Alright, I've taught you the ninjutsu."

"Remember to apply what you've learned in a flexible and unexpected way."

Rope Tree nodded repeatedly, then his eyes darted around as he asked, "Brother Xiu, can I use it during the exam?"

How wicked!

Xingxia Xiu nodded expressionlessly.
