Konoha's entry is ninja!

After all, psychic beasts are no less dangerous than ninjas.

All the way away from the core area of ​​Konoha Village, the group arrived at the entrance of the Death Forest in less than a quarter of an hour.

"There are many wild beasts and poisonous insects in the Death Forest, so be careful."

Namikaze Minato gave instructions before leading Hoshita Shuichi and the others in.

The ancient trees support the sky, and the human body looks very small among them.

The four people walked through it, stopping from time to time to analyze the traces left by some animals.

The main ones who spoke were Namikaze Minato, Uchiha Shisui, and Kurama Sanyo, while Hoshita Shuichi was among the students listening to the class.

And the three Minato people obviously wanted to take care of him.

In this regard, Shuichi Hoshita humbly asked for advice, eagerly absorbing nutrients from the three of them, and gradually transformed the theoretical knowledge he learned from the Ninja School into practical application experience.

And from the tracking along the way, he could also see that, not to mention Namikaze Minato, Uchiha Shisui was obviously more accomplished in tracking traces than Kurama Sanyo.

Of course, Kurama Sanyo, who comes from a famous illusion family, is also good.

People who are good at illusions tend to pay great attention to details.

An hour later, four figures landed on a thick branch one after another.

Uchiha Shisui said: "Minato-sensei, he should be here."

Anma Shanyang smiled and said: "The activity traces of the surrounding beasts have significantly reduced, and there are signs of migrating to the surrounding areas. I am afraid that this place has been occupied and has become the territory of psychic beasts."

Beasts are territorial, especially powerful beasts.

And psychic beasts are no exception.

Namikaze Minato said: "Based on the traces, this psychic beast should be a wild cat, and its advantage should be speed, so everyone must be alert."

Hoshita Shuichi and the other three nodded in unison: "Yes, Minato-sensei."

Namikaze Minato made a gesture, and the four people immediately moved forward, and formed a semicircle to surround them and move forward.

Suddenly, Uchiha Shisui made a gesture, Hoshita Shuichi and the others immediately stopped and looked in the direction of Uchiha Shisui's finger.

On a branch, under the sunlight filtering through the fallen leaves, a black cat was lying lazily, its tail sweeping around.

Namikaze Minato immediately made a gesture.

outflank!

In addition to Uchiha Shisui, Hoshita Shuichi and the others immediately took action to outflank the black cat.

However, the black cat was very alert and noticed something before the outflanking was completed. He stood up, then with a meow, he jumped up, in the direction of the gap in the circle surrounded by Hoshixia Shuichi and others.

"Stop it!"

Namikaze Minato shouted.

Now that it has been exposed, there is no need to be cautious anymore.

In an instant, chakra erupted under the feet of Hoshita Shuichi and others, and they each used the teleportation technique to attack the black cat.

But the black cat's speed is also surprisingly fast. At least Hoshita Shuichi feels that his speed is not as good as this black cat, especially in this environment.

However, Namikaze Minato and the others were faster.

shhhhhh!

The kunai flew and hit the branch in front of the black cat aggressively.

It was a kunai thrown by Namikaze Minato.

The black cat was frightened and immediately changed direction.

And then Hoshita Shuichi saw that the black cat that had just landed on the branch changed direction and rushed straight towards Uchiha Shisui.

"It's an illusion!"

Hoshita Shuichi looked at Kurama Sanyo who just put down his hand.

And then he saw Uchiha Shisui and Black Cat looking at each other in the air. The next moment, Black Cat fell down and was caught by Uchiha Shisui.

Sharingan hypnosis!

Great.

So is Anma Shanyang using the wrong technique?

Hoshita Shuichi secretly guessed.

Namikaze Minato smiled and said, "The cooperation is very good."

"Then the mission has been successfully completed. Let's go back."

A group of four people left the Death Forest without any sloppiness at all.

However, Hoshita Shuichi found that there was another entry leaf in the entry tree in his mind.

【Tracking Expert】

Obtain conditions: Track the enemy's traces at least five times in the mission.

Effect: Tracking talent is increased by 100%, trace sensitivity is increased by 100%.

Another expert entry, Hoshita Shuichi was a little numb.

However, the difficulty of looking at the conditions is not high, because the task just now has been counted as a qualified task by the entry tree.

In other words, he does not need to track the enemy alone to succeed.

Looking at the Namikaze Minato trio in front of him, Hoshita Shuichi felt that [Tracking Expert] might be the easiest and fastest expert entry for him to get.

Smiling secretly, Hoshita Shuichi caught up with Kurama Sanyo in front of him, walked side by side with him, and asked him for knowledge on illusions.

Of course, he was limited to asking for some theoretical advice and did not involve specific ninjutsu.

Anma Shanyang was not stingy about this and answered all questions.

Back at the Hokage Building, Minato Namikaze handed over the task, received the commission and distributed it. Shuichi Hoshita immediately received 6000 ryo.

"That's it for the morning. Now, I'll treat everyone to a barbecue at noon."

After leaving the Hokage Building, Namikaze Minato smiled.

Hoshita Shuichi and the other three immediately thanked each other and then walked to the barbecue restaurant.

On the way, Minato Namikaze asked: "Shuichi, what is the direction of your training next?"

"Fire escape?"

Although he had not personally seen Hoshita Shuichi perform the Fire Release Ninjutsu, he had obtained information from Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Knowing that Shuichi Hoshita could recover just by watching his classmates perform the Fireball Jutsu, this ninjutsu talent is indeed outstanding.

Fire escape?

Hoshita Shuichi shook his head: "Minato-sensei, I have mastered 5 fire escape ninjutsu so far, covering near, medium and long distances."

"For me, more fire release ninjutsu are not necessary because of the chakra limitations."

These words shocked the three of Namikaze Minato.

Kurama Sanyo couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Are all the newcomers so good now?"

It's been more than a year since he graduated, and he hasn't mastered as many illusions as five.

Namikaze Minato nodded and continued: "So, Shuichi, your next focus will be on close combat taijutsu, as well as swordsmanship?"

As he spoke, he pointed at the Tencon Chakra knife on Hoshita Shuichi's lower back.

Hoshita nodded: "Yes, Minato-sensei."

"Limited by chakra, I think most of the time on the battlefield I would rather fight in close combat."

"And physical fitness in all aspects is the foundation of a ninja, so my next training direction is to strengthen physical exercise, physical skills, ninja tools, and sword skills."

Namikaze Minato smiled and praised: "A very wise choice."

And Uchiha Shisui took the initiative to show off to Hoshita: "As for ninja tools and sword skills, Shuichi, if you need anything, don't be polite to me."

Kurama Sanyang also smiled and said: "I am so-so in terms of physical skills, but I think it won't be a big problem as a sparring partner."

Xingxia Xiuyi is very thick-skinned and not polite at all: "Then I will trouble you from now on."

2024-03-26

The lunch meal of barbecue was very enjoyable. Of course, Namikaze Minato's reward for the mission he had just received was also reimbursed.

There was no way, Minato Namikaze didn't say it himself, Shuichi Hoshita and the others were all big eaters.

After lunch, a group of four people arrived outside a forest on the edge of Konoha Village.

"Take a rest for an hour."

After saying this, Minato Namikaze disappeared into the forest.

Watching Namikaze Minato disappear into the forest, Kurama Sanyo smiled and said, "Shuichi, how about we have a taijutsu showdown?"

Hoshixia Xiuyi followed suit: "No problem!"

Immediately, Uchiha Shisui acted as the referee, Hoshita Shuichi and Kurama Sanyo collided with each other after giving the order.

Uchiha Shisui observed silently, and soon discovered: "Sanyo's movements were completely seen through by Shuichi. This ability..."

What immediately came to mind was the dynamic vision of the Sharingan.

Although Kurama Sanyo is two years older than Hoshita Hide, there is not much difference in fists and feet.

Soon Kurama Sanyo used a kunai, Hoshita Shuichi also took out a kunai, and the clanging sound began to sound.

But the situation of the battle did not change much.

Five minutes later, Hoshita Shuichi and Kurama Sanyo stopped.

"Great!"

Kurama Sanyo gave Hoshita Shuichi a thumbs up and was convinced, even though taijutsu was not his specialty.

Uchiha Shisui stepped forward at this time, pointed out the shortcomings of Hoshige Shuichi and Kurama Sanyo in the previous battle, and reviewed the situation for the two.

Just from hearing it, Hoshita Shuichi knew that Uchiha Shisui's combat IQ was much higher.

After reviewing the game, he immediately asked Uchiha Shisui for tips on how to use a short sword.

An hour passed without realizing it. Namikaze Minato appeared, looked at Hoshishita Shuichi and the others and said, "The next training project is to pass through this forest on a designated route."

"The direction is behind me, straight through."

After saying that, Namikaze Minato disappeared again.

Kurama Sanyo immediately looked at Uchiha Shisui: "Shisui, what should I do?"

Hoshita Shuichi also looked at Uchiha Shisui. Among the three, he was the strongest and most experienced.

Uchiha Shisui said: "I am in front, Sanyo you are in the middle, Shuichi is at the end, and we will advance in a one-line formation first."

Hoshita Shuichi and Kurama Sanyo nodded in unison.

Immediately, the three of them, led by Uchiha Shisui, rushed into the forest.

The moment he entered the forest, Uchiha Shisui opened his Sharingan.

Hoshishita Shuichi, who was last, went straight into a state of 100% concentration.

As for the 10 times concentration level of the [Scholar Master] entry, he didn't dare to use it casually because it would consume too much physical energy.

In the darkness of the forest, Namikaze Minato looked at Hoshikita Shuichi and the others who were running away.

Suddenly, he cut a thin wire with his kunai.

The next moment, the trap that had been prepared long ago was activated, and a large number of kunai and shurikens were shot at Hoshita Shuichi and the others from the side.

To be more specific, Kurama Sanyo in the middle is the one who is being cared for most, with the most kunai and shuriken flying towards him.

"careful!"

Uchiha Shisui reacted the fastest. He stopped and shouted while a kunai was thrown away by him.
