Talent Tree Ninja: I Can Upgrade My Abilities

After recovering from her condition, Tsunade frowned as she listened to the news brought by Shizune.

Unfortunately, the information was released by the Hokage Building and was not comprehensive.

Tsunade immediately stood up and said, "I'm going to go see the old man."

Shizune hurriedly followed. She had been very excited by the news before, but now seeing Tsunade's attitude, she began to worry.

When Tsunade arrived at the Hokage's office, she found Jiraiya, Homura Mitokado, and Danzo were also there.

After seeing Tsunade, Jiraiya immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, Shuichi is not injured."

"Bunta said that his strength has surpassed that of his teacher Minato!"

Tsunade nodded coldly, but secretly felt relieved. She immediately asked, "The Kiri Ninja suffered heavy losses. I'm afraid they will launch an attack immediately?"

Homura Mitokado nodded: "Huruzen has decided to reinforce the east immediately. Jiraiya and I will set off later."

Tsunade asked, "What about the direction of the River Country?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "The Kirigakure is too far away from there. The possibility of attacking from there after the whole army is annihilated is extremely low."

"As for the Suna Village, the losses on the front line this time were very minor. Currently, the troops are sufficient. The main force of the Suna Village is still in the north."

Tsunade remained silent and didn't ask any more questions.

The meeting ended a few moments later and Jiraiya and Tsunade were walking down the street together.

"Don't worry, Shuichi is already very powerful, and there's also Flying Thunder God."

Jiraiya knew Tsunade too well, and he smiled and comforted her.

Tsunade snorted coldly: "I just want to remind you to be careful and don't die on the battlefield."

Jiraiya burst out laughing: "Tsunade, I am the Toad Sage of Myoboku Mountain, and there is no Jinchūriki that powerful in the Kirigakure."

After laughing, he suggested: "Let's go have a drink together!"

Tsunade nodded silently.

In the meeting room of the Mizukage Building in the Kirigakure, the atmosphere was depressing.

The news that the army led by Hozuki Hozuki was completely wiped out was shocking.

Previously, Hozuki Hozuki's troops had lost contact. Although it didn't feel good, they never expected this result.

Suddenly, a voice broke the silence: "Lord Mizukage, issue the order!"

"Such a shame can only be washed away with blood!"

"My Kaguya clan is willing to serve as the vanguard!"

The one who spoke was a middle-aged man, who was full of excitement and fighting spirit, and his smile was full of bloodthirstiness.

Their clan was born for battle, and now is the time for them to play a role!

The clan leader of the Kaguya clan, kaguya Daisuke, said in a deep voice: "Patriarch Kaguya is right!"

"The information sent back earlier has already confirmed that the Scorch Release Pakura was rescued by Konoha!"

The Hozuki clan suffered heavy losses this time. There was Hozuki Hozuki, the backbone of the clan, and Hozuki Metsuon, the candidate being trained as the future clan leader.

Then other people attending the meeting also expressed their agreement to launch an attack on Konoha.

Because this was originally planned, it was just brought forward a little.

The Third Mizukage, who had been lowering his eyes, opened his eyes, glanced at Hozuki Hozuki and Kaguya Daisuke, and said, "Then the Kaguya clan and the Hozuki clan will be the vanguard, and Karatachi Yagura will be the commander."

"Also, after the war begins, have the Seven Ninja Swordsmen infiltrate the Land of Fire and carry out a decapitation operation against the Konoha headquarters."

"If you encounter that guy named Hoshita Shuichi, surround and kill him with all your strength!"

"Send someone to the Suna Village and get information about that Hoshita Shuichi as quickly as possible!"

"Pass the order on. If ordinary ninjas encounter this Hoshita Shuichi, they can give up their mission!"

As the high-level meeting ended, the news quickly spread.

More than a thouSuna Ninjas from the village were wiped out!

This caused an uproar in the entire Kirigakure, and the fighting spirit of the entire Kirigakure reached an unprecedented high.

Among the ninja community, Hoshita Shuichi's name quickly spread.

After all, it is very rare for ordinary ninjas to receive orders to abandon their missions, let alone give such orders to a 12-year-old kid.

The ninja found out, and his family also gradually learned of Hoshita Shuichi's name, which spread outward step by step.

At the same time, there was also an uproar in the Suna Village.

Because they had just won the defensive battle against the Iwa Ninja, but they didn't expect to be defeated so badly in the blink of an eye.

The name Hoshita Shuichi once again entered the minds of every Suna Ninja, and unlike last time, this time Hoshita Shuichi's name also began to spread to ordinary villagers in the Suna Village.

A day later, the Daimyo of the Wind Country also received the battle report from the Suna Village, and was instantly impressed by the name Hoshita Shuichi.

As for the Iwagakure Village, the Third Tsuchikage received the news even later.

Although we tried our best to gather intelligence about the war, we still got the information from Konoha in the end.

"This Hoshita Shuichi..."

Ohnoki frowned: "It seems that he is the one who attacked the Third Kazekage!"

He has two pieces of information in his hands.

One came from Konoha, of course, it was the "good news" announced by Konoha.

But combined with the information obtained by his own intelligence department, it was confirmed that the news released by Konoha was not exaggerated.

Another piece of information came from the Suna Village, and it could even be said to be the Fourth Kazekage.

It is more accurate information about Hoshita Shuichi, which mentions Lava Release.

Although Hoshita Shuichi had never used the power of Lava Release in front of the Suna Ninja, he left traces when he attacked the Kiri Ninja.

"Father, it seems that the Suna Ninja is interested in peace talks."

Kitsuchi said.

The information obtained from the Suna Ninja was very deliberate.

Ōnoki snorted, "The Fourth Kazekage will not take the initiative to negotiate with us."

Kitsuchi hesitated for a moment and said, "Now is indeed the time to join forces with the Suna Ninja."

"The Kiri Ninja will definitely launch a large-scale war against the Fire Nation."

"And according to intelligence, the Kumo ninja are also ready to make a move, and Konoha is even increasing its troops to the north for defense."

Onoki was very calm at this time and said, "It's not enough."

"We need the Suna Ninja to further contain Konoha's power."

"Move the front line back a bit so that the Suna Ninja can free up more forces."

How could he not understand what the Fourth Kazekage meant? He wanted them, the Iwagakure Village, to propose peace talks first.

But the disappearance and even death of the Third Kazekage had nothing to do with them, so why should they admit their mistakes?

After thinking for a while, Ohnoki asked, "If we wage war against the Fire Nation, where do you think it would be best to attack?"

Kitsuchi thought for a moment and said, "From the closest distance, the Land of Grass!"

"We must not give Konoha time to react and seize the advantage first."

"From the perspective of the Rain Country, Konoha has deployed a strong force there. On the contrary, although the Grass Country is on good terms with Konoha, the current leader of the Grass Village has a closer relationship with us."

"They will not overestimate their own capabilities and fight us to the death for Konoha, so we can go beyond Konoha's expectations, quickly pass through the Grass Country, raid the border of the Fire Country, and catch Konoha off guard!"

"Besides, if we attack from the direction of Grass Country, our supply line is the closest."

Ohnoki nodded slightly and said, "Go and get ready!"

Kitsuchi's expression immediately became serious after hearing this: "Understood!"

Time flies and it is May of the 45th year of Konoha.

In the Land of Rivers, under the waterfall, Hoshita Shuichi opened his eyes and showed a look of joy: "Finally it worked!"

Just now, the shadow clone released the memories that were fed back, and the research on the art of spiritualization has finally made progress.

In fact, he had gained some ideas when he used "flash of inspiration" last time, but the outbreak of the war did not leave him much time to study. Now that he is confronting the Suna Village, he finally has some results.

"Shisui!"

Hoshita Shuichi stood up and walked out of the waterfall.
