Konoha: I have a gravity training room

"Thank you very much. I'll give you the money later."

Xia Mu can't take his friend's things for free. Flashbangs are ninja supplies and should not be cheap.

As soon as he returned to his seat, Shino couldn't help but ask, "Xia Mu, do you have a new idea?"

Xia Mu smiled and nodded. "Yes, and it suits you very well. Think about it, doesn't Earth Style have a hardening technique? That's achieved by absorbing the properties of the earth. The iron block I created absorbs the properties of iron. So what if I absorb the properties of the flash bomb ingredients and then activate it with chakra?"

Shino's sunglasses immediately reflected the light: "It will burst into a strong light!"

Xia Mu praised: "Bingo! This move is called the Sun Fist. I'll teach it to you after I figure it out. You're wearing sunglasses, though. The strong light won't affect your vision, but it will make it impossible for the enemy to open their eyes. Wouldn't you be able to kill them indiscriminately?"

"...Xia Mu, you really have a great idea!"

Shino was used to sighing, but anticipation was evident beneath his sunglasses.

Xia Mu waved his hand and said, "Stop praising me. I get proud easily. Come to my house on the second of next month. I'm sure there will be some results by then. By the way, I've been asking people to research powerful ninja tools and powerful summoning beasts. We've already made some progress. Let's take a look and see if there's any summoning beast you're looking for."

Meanwhile, the Hokage's office.

Danzo Nabekage Shimura pushed open the office door with his cane and saw all his old friends sitting in their seats waiting.

Sarutobi Hiruzen saw the newcomer and slowly took out a Ninja Kill set: "Danzo, you're here. Have you ever played Ninja Kill? Let's talk while we play."

As he spoke, he shuffled four ID cards and placed them on the table.

Danzo walked forward with his crutch and grabbed one, and his eyelids suddenly jumped: Usurper!

Sarutobi Hiruzen also drew one, but turned it over: Shadow!

Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En also each grabbed an identity card, but did not say anything. They waited for Sarutobi Hiruzen to shuffle the character cards before drawing their own.

Sarutobi Hiruzen kept talking as he shuffled the cards. "This card game is really interesting. It brings ninja battles to the tabletop. You can play one-on-one, one-on-many, many-on-many, and there's even a ninja village defense mode. But I'm so lucky, I'm also a Hokage in the game!"

Snap! It was as if the crutch had been cracked.

Danzo said in an unhappy tone as he grabbed a character card, only to find it was an Uchiha character.

He threw the character card on the table and said in a cold tone: "Huruzen, the Uchiha are evil. We eliminated the Uchiha for the sake of the village, and I played a significant role in it. Are you going to throw them away?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen also drew a character card, and it turned out to be the second generation Hokage, Senju Tobirama!

He laughed: "Haha, I specially asked the inventor of the card to make this character card. It's the only one in the entire ninja world. It was mixed in with the deck just now. I didn't expect that I was lucky enough to draw it. But Danzo, do you know why Tobirama-sensei chose me to be Hokage back then?"

The answer is irrelevant to the question, but it is still a warning to Danzo.

How could Danzo not understand? He gritted his teeth and said nothing.

That little brat named Xia Mu, what kind of cards did he invent? He even made a second-generation Hokage card specifically for Hiruzen!

Hiruzen is such a shameless guy. He said he was lucky, but he got this card by cheating secretly. It was the same as before. When Tobirama asked the question, Hiruzen raised his hand first to answer, so he was chosen as Hokage. What's so great about it? If it weren't for Danzo Shimura who worked diligently as the executioner in the dark all these years, how could he have the glory of the Third Hokage?

Are we attacking him now because the Uchiha are gone and the threat to the village is gone, so we are going to attack the Root?

Yes, Hiruzen is not stupid. He must have seen that the expansion of the Root poses a threat to the position of Hokage!

Think beautiful!

Danzo threw two cards to open his Sharingan, then used the Flickering Body Technique: Kill on Sarutobi Hiruzen, saying in a cold tone: "Huruzen, you can't disband the Root!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't dodge, and used Water Style: Water Rush to counterattack: "Danzo, I am the Hokage!"

Chapter 42 Xia Mu's Big Move

Snap! The crutch suffered again.

Danzo's face darkened as he continued to attack: "Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu! Hiruzen, you will regret this!"

However, Mitomon En on the side unleashed a Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall, which Sarutobi Hiruzen blocked. "Danzo, you should be more restrained. The various clans have strong opinions about the Root."

Danzo almost crushed the cards in his hand: "Yan, are you a partner?"

At this time, Utatane Koharu used Wind Style: Shuriken Technique on Danzo: "Danzo, I am also a partner. This round is only for Kage and partners, no traitors, enemy ninjas, or spies."

"Good! Very good!"

Danzo threw away his cards and flipped open his ID card. "So, you think I'm a usurper and are ganging up on me? Over the years, I've been working tirelessly in the dark, doing all the dirty work. Now that the Uchiha are gone, you're going to retreat, right?"

The three of them remained silent.

Based on their understanding of Danzo, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a usurper.

This guy even tried to assassinate the Hokage. His mind and eyes are obsessed with the position of Hokage. What else could he be but a usurper?

Sarutobi Hiruzen also put down his cards, took a deep puff of cigarette, and sighed: "Danzo, disband the Root. The village is now facing peace, and the Root has become an obstacle to the peace of the village. You should understand."

Danzo was silent for a long while, but he couldn't bear to refuse.

However, deep in his eyes was a cruel and unwilling look: "Okay, I will hand over the root list, but I want to leave a few people to help."

Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other two breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great."

Danzo slammed the door and left, but there was no sign of surrender in his eyes.

Isn’t it just about disbanding the roots?

It's disbanded, but with the control of the tongue root curse seal, the ninja that comes out of the root is still his Danzo! As long as he is not dead, the victory or defeat is not determined, he can definitely become the fifth generation Hokage!

It’s the night of the first of every month again.

Xia Mu flashed into the special laboratory with a flash bomb in his hand.

As he mobilized his chakra, the components of the flash bomb were absorbed into his body, and he imitated Tien Shinhan's movements, taking a horse stance with his fingers pointing at his temples.

"Sun Fist!"

Buzz! A strong light burst out from his body, instantly flooding a large area.

Even though Xia Mu was a light source, his eyes were blurred by the strong light. If there was an enemy on the opposite side, it would be even more unbearable.

Xia Mu was very satisfied with this: "I didn't expect it to be so easy to succeed. But I should wear more sunglasses next time. Otherwise, if I use the Sun Fist, my teammates will suffer too, and no one will cooperate with the surprise attack."

The first project is completed, and now it’s time to research the big move.

Xia Mu used his mind to conjure up a large forest in the laboratory, then he rolled a ball in his hand and pressed it directly on a big tree.

"Get the kidneys and liver!"

"I'm taking your kidney and liver!"

"Water Style: Whirlpool Boiling Bomb!"

Boom! Xia Mu flung the scalding spiral water ball far away. The vortex boiling bomb exploded instantly. The huge vortex water ball directly submerged the entire mountain, crushing the entire mountain into pieces, and terrifying hot steam also swept in all directions.

But this time it was thrown far away and Xia Mu was not affected.

Obviously, after his many modifications, the vortex boiling bomb has become much more stable and can launch long-range attacks.

"Phew! I finally succeeded! It's worth all the time I wasted researching!"

Xia Mu showed a happy smile. At this time, he could be sure that his combat power was at least that of a Jonin. He just lacked practical experience. He could accumulate experience after graduation. It would not be a problem.

Next, he tried other moves.

He just clapped his hands and a huge earth-escaping gyroscope flew up from the ground, spun wildly and crashed to the ground, instantly drilling a big hole in the ground.

"Earth Escape: Spinning Upwards!"

Then came the next move. He raised his palm to hold up a water disc as big as a millstone. The water disc spun wildly, making a terrifying cutting sound, and was thrown out by him the next second.

"Water Style: Water Circle Slash!"

Zi! The Water Circle Slash actually decapitated the mountain neck directly, showing how sharp it was.

Xia Mu stretched out his hands again, and the fingers of his left hand swung out sharp chakra lines, cutting a thick tree into pieces of firewood. The fingers of his other hand swung out several sticky chakra lines, which easily stuck to the trunks of several large trees, and with one force, he pulled the trees out of the ground.

"Well, that's basically all I have. I think it's enough for now. As for the rest of the time, I'll just wait for the Eight Gates Ninjutsu and Hatake Swordsmanship. When Tsunade takes over as the Fifth Hokage after Sarutobi Hiruzen's death, I'll ask her for the Flying Thunder God Jutsu. I'm sure she wouldn't be stingy with it when Konoha is in a period of transition. But all of this is just speculation; it's hard to say whether it will pan out.

Furthermore, these few years before graduation cannot be wasted, so the next major research topic is: Sage Mode!"

In fact, there are many examples of ninjas being able to absorb natural energy in history, and even libraries may have collections of them. After all, the Sage Mode is not unfamiliar to many ninjas.

For example, Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze and even Hashirama Senju can all enter Sage Mode.

Since the founding of Konoha Village, many ninjas have seen Sage Mode, but no one dared to try it because casually absorbing natural energy would turn them into stone.

Only Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze had the guidance of Gama Sage, which allowed them to achieve success in their studies.

As for Hashirama Senju, he is the God of Ninja, so it is normal for him to be able to use Sage Mode.

Therefore, it is not difficult to find a way to absorb natural energy. Even if the library does not have it, you can just buy it at the gold exchange office. I don’t believe you can’t get it.

At that time, Xia Mu will conduct experiments in a special laboratory environment, and he will not die anyway.

After he adjusted the ratio of natural energy, physical energy and spiritual energy bit by bit, he naturally succeeded in learning the Sage Mode.

By then, the combat power will naturally soar, and they will have the strength of a Kage.

Everything is planned.

On the second day of the following day, Shino came to Natsuki's house.

At this time, Tiantian was flipping through a pile of scrolls. Shino was not surprised by this because Tiantian had the key to Natsuki's house and had long regarded herself as the hostess of this house.

"Shino, you're here. Come in quickly. Tenten, you come too."

Xia Mu quickly invited the two into the house and prepared sunglasses for himself and Tiantian. "The light from the Sun Fist is very dazzling, so you must wear sunglasses. I will start teaching you now."

With the doors and windows closed, Xia Mu put on the flash grenade, then got into position and launched the Sun Fist.

A strong light enveloped the room. Even though the three people were wearing sunglasses, they still felt some discomfort in their eyes and could not see things clearly. But it was precisely because of this that the Sun Fist was so effective.

Tiantian praised: "This move is powerful. The enemies have suddenly become blind. Aren't they lambs to the slaughter?"

Shino nodded in agreement. "That's right! But we need to prepare sunglasses for our partners first, and agree on a signal. Once the signal is given, everyone should put on their sunglasses. Otherwise, if our partners become blind too, it would be meaningless."

Chapter 43: Information on Ninja Tools and Summoning Beasts

Xia Mu naturally agreed, and then began to explain in detail the practice method of Sun Fist.

In fact, after Shino learned the Iron Block, the Sun Fist was not difficult to learn, but absorbing the characteristics of foreign objects into the body is dangerous after all, so it is better to be cautious. When you first start practicing, it is best to try using the Shadow Clone first.

In addition, when practicing, you should stay indoors and close the doors and windows.

Now that Konoha Village has lost the Uchiha Guard, it is like a sieve with countless spies. Be careful not to expose this trick.

Soon, Shino memorized the training method.

As for Tiantian, before graduation, Tiantian was with Xia Mu almost every day, and Xia Mu was the one who taught him.

"Oh, right, some of the information my dad secretly gathered through his connections has come back. Let's take a look."

Tiantian took out the scroll he was reading and said, "This one is about ninja tools, and this one is about summoning beasts. Come and help me with some advice, or remember to tell me which one you like, and we'll find a way to get it."

Tiantian is naturally passionate about this.

Because her direction of advancement is ninja tool manipulation and summoning.

As long as she obtains powerful ninja tools and contracts a strong summoning beast, and her body is constantly activated by Xia Mu's electric shocks, her physical strength and chakra will steadily increase. In the future, she will have the strength of an elite jonin, not to mention the level of Kage.

Xia Mu opened a scroll and was stunned: "Ninja tools from the Artisan Village?"

Looking at the information recorded in the scroll, it was exactly the four-piece set of ninja tools of the Artisan Ninja Village: Infinite Hole Armor, Dragon Eye Retractable Sword, Peacock Twin Swords and Light Sword.

This seems to be an original plot of the anime.

So, does this world actually include original works? Even theatrical versions?

Xia Mu was not sure, but he knew that this four-piece set was indeed good. The Infinite Hole Armor could absorb chakra, the Dragon Eye Retractable Sword could control the flow of chakra and change its length or even turn into three dragon heads, the Peacock Twin Swords could change the direction of the wind and perform wind slashes, and the lightsaber could emit light and flames.

It is worth mentioning that the four-piece set consumes very little chakra.

In addition, the four-piece set can be combined to create a stronger burst of power.

If Tiantian, the master of ninja tools, can get these four pieces of equipment, his strength will definitely surpass that of a Chunin, and he can even restrain a Jonin. Once he becomes proficient in it, he will definitely have the strength of a Jonin.

What are you waiting for!

Xia Mu handed the scroll to Tiantian: "Tiantian, look at this, it must be suitable for you!"

Tiantian took it and looked at it, her eyes immediately lit up. She naturally saw that the four-piece set from the Artisan Village was a great improvement for her.

But she couldn't help but complain: "Xia Mu, we are not robbers, how can we steal other people's things? What if it affects the reputation of Konoha Village?"

"Tiantian, can you finish reading the intelligence?"
