Talent Tree Ninja: I Can Upgrade My Abilities

When Hoshita Shuichi arrived at the commander's tent, Orochimaru was looking down at the map.

At this time, there was no longer the big Buddha like Utatane Koharu above Orochimaru's head, and he was the real commander.

Utane Koharu became the transport captain, responsible for logistics and liaison with the daimyo and nobles of the River Country.

During this period, Hoshita Shuichi's task was to keep an eye on the one-tailed beast Shukaku and monitor the movements of the Suna Ninja.

That is why he can practice in his true form under the waterfall.

Orochimaru looked up when he heard footsteps and smiled, "Shuichi-kun is back after all. Are you worried about the cooperation between Suna Ninja and Iwa Ninja?"

Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "On the surface, cooperation is impossible, but Rasa is a very resourceful person. It is not surprising that he has reached a tacit understanding with the Third Tsuchikage in secret."

Orochimaru smiled and nodded: "It seems that we have the same idea. So, Shuichi-kun, what do you think the Suna Ninja and the Iwa Ninja will do?"

Hoshita Shuichi looked down at the map and said, "If I were a Suna Ninja, I would not reinforce this battlefield because it is meaningless."

"It may sound a bit arrogant, but with me here, their numbers don't mean much, even with Shukaku here."

Orochimaru's eyes were full of admiration, and he chuckled, "No, Shuichi-kun, you have the ability."

Without paying attention to Orochimaru's gaze, Hoshita Shuichi continued, "So, I will open another battlefield and go straight to the border of the Land of Fire. It just so happens that the defenses there are now not worth mentioning."

Orochimaru nodded, "Looks like the old man is in big trouble."

"What about the Iwagakure?"

Hoshita Shuichi's eyes fell on the Grass Country and said, "Go through the Grass Country and raid the border as well."

"The last time the leader of the Kusagakure was attacked and killed during the Kusagakure mission, it was the Iwagakure ninja's trick. The current relationship between the Kusagakure leader and the Iwagakure ninja is very different. Konoha had better not hope that the Kusagakure will resist the invasion of the Iwagakure ninja."

Orochimaru nodded, "Indeed it is true."

Hoshita Shuichi looked up at Orochimaru and said, "Since Lord Orochimaru has already made an analysis, it seems that he has not yet transmitted it back to the village."

Orochimaru shook his head and said, "Because these analyses don't make much sense now."

Hoshita Shuichi thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Orochimaru continued, "The border of Grass Country has been prepared, and the Root is active in Rain Country. From the current perspective, Rain Village will not participate in the war, and Rain Country will not be the main battlefield this time."

"The Kusagakure Village, on the surface, is not a problem, because dealing with various ninja villages is his way of survival."

"So, the old man won't take the initiative."

"As for the Suna Ninja, perhaps we can deploy some troops along the border as reinforcements."

Hoshita Shuichi sighed: "It can only be like this."

Orochimaru smiled and said, "Don't worry too much. We still have time to react."

"But the third generation is indeed old and not as decisive as before."

The last sentence contained a deep meaning, and Hoshita Shuichi understood it immediately, and just said: "Maybe it's because the situation is different now."

Orochimaru thought for a moment, then skipped the topic and said with a smile: "The suggestion just now will still be sent back to the village. You and I will sign it together!"

Hoshita Shuichi nodded and agreed: "Okay."

Although this action will cause trouble for Sarutobi Hiruzen in the future.

But everyone always has to pay the price for what they do, no one is an exception.

After leaving his signature, Hoshita Shuichi said goodbye and left, taking Asuka to the medical camp.

On the way, he lit up the talent "Master of Illusion".

Your illusion talent increases by 100%, your mental willpower increases by 100%, and the nature change of Yin Release increases by 100%. Except for blood-related illusions, no other illusion can stump you.

The effect took effect, and Hoshita Shuichi felt it very clearly, especially mentally.

This is not the first time that mental strength and willpower have been improved, and because of his research on the art of spiritualization and the Demonic Fuujin, Hoshita Shuichi has reached a different level in this area.

The difference between mental power and mental will can be simply summarized as: the former is an increase in quantity, while the latter is an increase in resilience.

Feeling the strength of his body, Hoshita Shuichi's mood instantly lifted.

The days that followed didn't seem to change much.

Be a medical ninja in the medical camp, practice, and wait for Shukaku to lose his temper before fighting him.

The task of monitoring Shukaku and the movements of the Suna Ninjas are all given to the shadow clones.

Time flies and it is June.

On the morning of June 12, 45th year of Konoha, Hoshita Shuichi was detoxifying the injured Konoha ninjas in the medical camp, but Uchiha Shisui came hurriedly: "Shuichi, Lord Orochimaru has summoned you."

Hoshita Shuichi nodded without looking back and did not stop his actions, but a clone appeared beside him and followed Uchiha Shisui away.

In less than 10 minutes, the shadow clone's memory came back and Hoshita Shuichi just finished the operation.

Walking out of the tent and checking his memory, Hoshita Shuichi frowned for a moment.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen!

Sarutobi Hiruzen transferred him back to the Land of Fire because the Seven Ninja Swordsmen had penetrated deep into the Land of Fire and no one could stop them.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke once led the elite Anbu troops to intercept and kill the enemy, but they returned injured. Except for him and Chihiro, all the other elite Anbu troops were killed in the battle.

Hoshita Shuichi is very clear about Sarutobi Shinnosuke's strength. He can now be called an elite jonin in the field of ninjutsu. Except for the Yang release technique, the other five escape techniques, plus illusion techniques, he can be said to be proficient in all of them.

However, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are indeed not easy to deal with, especially when one does not have any information about the ninja swords in their hands.

Using Flying Thunder God, Hoshita Shuichi appeared again in Orochimaru's tent.

Orochimaru said: "Leaving a clone behind should be enough to deal with Shukaku. Your clones usually can't be seen through."

"If there is an emergency, I will notify you."

Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "I understand."

After walking out of the tent, Hoshita Shuichi came to Uchiha Shisui and said, "Shisui, please take care of Sister Asuka."

Uchiha Shisui nodded seriously: "Don't worry!"

"And Asuka is also very strong. She is basically in the medical team right now."

"But you have to be careful too."

Patting Uchiha Shisui's shoulder, Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said, "I know."

"Let's go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the person disappeared.

After continuous transfers, Hoshita Shuichi returned to the experimental base near the Daimyo's mansion in the Land of Fire from the western border of the Land of Rivers in one breath.

This place has been built and Pakura is currently stationed here. When he saw Hoshita Shuichi appear, he immediately showed joy: "Shuichi-sama!"

"Join me to fight against the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!"

Hoshita Shuichi said this without waiting for Pakura to react. He pulled her hand and disappeared from the experimental base together.

…

On a mountain in the southeastern heart of the Land of Fire, Hoshita Shuichi and Pakura appeared.

"Shuichi-sama, take a break!"

Pakura saw that Hoshita Shuichi had sweat on his forehead and spoke hurriedly.

"Need not!"

Hoshita Shuichi shook his head slightly, and the Yin Seal on his forehead was completely released, and a circular blue light lit up.

Chakra filled his whole body. Hoshita Shuichi squatted down, pointed the ground with one finger of his right hand, and his perception quickly spread outward.

He did not master the chakra characteristics of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, but there should not be many teams of seven people who can act together and have strong chakra.

Additionally he can search Gai's chakra.

Of course, he didn't know at the moment whether Gai had arrived at the battlefield and whether he had encountered the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

After a moment, Hoshita Shuichi withdrew his hand.

No results found.

The next moment, four clones appeared and went in four directions respectively.

Ten minutes later, the memory of a shadow clone came back.

Hoshita Shuichi's spirits immediately lifted: "Found it!"

He grabbed Pakura next to him, and the two disappeared. When they reappeared, they were at the location of the Flying Thunder God mark left by the previous shadow clone, which was about 10 miles away from Kai's location.

"Scorch, I'll go over first!"

Hoshita Shuichi shouted, and before he finished speaking he had already flown into the air, instantly entering the Fire Release Chakra Mode, putting on a chakra coat, his hair flying and blue lotuses blooming on his body, and with a bang, his figure suddenly shot out, like a blue meteor streaking through the sky.

A moment later, in front of Might Gai, Genma Shiranui, and Ebisu, accompanied by the sound of the ground cracking and gravel flying, Hoshita Shuichi fell from the sky.

Might Gai and the other two behind covered their faces with their hands but opened their eyes wide to watch this sudden change.

"Looks like I'm not late!"

Hoshita Shuichi chuckled, reached out his hand in the smoke and dust, and tore away the smoke and dust that covered his body.

"Shuichi!"

Might Gai exclaimed, and then became extremely excited: "Why are you here?"

Genma Shiranui's face was filled with joy: "No matter what the reason is, we shouldn't have to die this time!"

Ebisu wiped his sweat and said, "Looks like I'm going to escape this!"

I was so scared just now.

"Gai, please retreat some distance!"

Hoshita Shuichi turned his head slightly and smiled.

The eyes of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen on the opposite side were now focused on Hoshita Shuichi.

Even if Kai hadn't called out his name, his powerful chakra alone was enough to make them take him seriously.

"Is this the guy?"

"Shuichi, the blue shining star Shuichi from Konoha, that should be him!"

"It's really a little devil!"

"Don't underestimate him, otherwise today's magnificent funeral won't be held for him!"

"Such a powerful chakra. No wonder it was able to annihilate the entire Hozuki Metsuon Squad!"

…

Although Biwa Juuzou and the others spoke casually, their expressions became serious.

Although they all look like little ghosts, it is obvious that the one in front of him is completely different from the three before.

When Hoshita Shuichi and the others retreated, they turned around and looked at the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

There were seven people, all with distinct personalities, and he could actually only call out the names of three of them.

Fuguki Suikazan has a ninjutsu similar to Jiraiya's that allows him to shoot out his hair as a thousand bonsai.

Hoshita Shuichi remembered him because of Hoshigaki Kisame, the most honest man in the ninja world.

Kuroko Raiga, wielding two thunder swords, a master of Lightning release, is remembered because of Naruto.

There is also Biwa Juzo, I remember him because he was very brave.

The sword chopped the Tailed Beast Bomb, and Hoshita Shuichi was willing to call him the bravest in the ninja world!

Looking at the seven people, Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said: "To be honest, the swords in your hands are very good, I like them."

"So, I want it!"

Kuroko Raiga held the sword in both hands: "What an arrogant kid! I can't wait to give you a grand funeral!"

Biwa Juuzou raised his sword: "There is still a small gap in my sword, it is just right for it to absorb some blood so that the iron can be regenerated."

"Besides, your blood should be very strong and of good quality."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and a fight between the two sides was about to break out. Might Gai and the other three behind him also became nervous.

But at this moment, Hoshita Shuichi, Juuzou Biwa and others all turned their heads.

I saw a green figure flying over.

"We finally got there!"

Matt Dai landed lightly on the ground.

Gai in the back opened his eyes wide: "Dad?"

"You...why are you here?"

Might Dai turned around and said, "I heard about the news about the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist and was worried that you might run into them, so I rushed over."

Gai quickly said, "But... Dad, you're just a genin!"

Hoshita Shuichi laughed and said, "Gai, don't divide ninjas into different levels and strengths."

Then he said to Might Dai, "Uncle Dai, seven doors are enough!"

Might Dai quickly expressed his gratitude: "Shuichi, thank you so much for coming here, otherwise I don't know what would happen to Gai and the others."

Hoshita Shuichi waved his hand: "Uncle Dai, there is no need to be so polite between us."

"If you want to thank me, leave them all for later. I like their knives. They would be nice to keep as trophies."

Might Dai looked at the seven people opposite him and nodded seriously: "Although these guys are strong, I will do my best."

Hoshita Shuichi said quickly: "Uncle Dai, seven gates are enough."

Biwa Juuzou and others on the opposite side all looked unhappy when they heard the conversation between the two.

"These two bastards really don't take us seriously!"

Biwa Juuzou couldn't help but get angry, narrowed his eyes, and shouted: "Strike first, Leiya!"

Kuroko Raiga immediately crossed his two swords, and electric light burst out all over his body, gathering at the tips of the swords to form two lightning balls. Then he waved his hands, and the two lightning balls shot towards Hoshita Shuichi and Might Dai.

Biwa Juuzou immediately took the opportunity to rush forward with his sword.

"Disperse!"

Hoshita Shuichi shouted softly, and his figure disappeared instantly. Might Dai next to him also jumped up immediately.

Boom!

The thunder ball exploded where Hoshita Shuichi and the other man were standing, and lightning flashed everywhere. However, Hoshita Shuichi and Might Dai were extremely fast, and even though the lightning radiation range was very wide, it did not affect the two of them.

Hoshita Shuichi stood in the air, a wind-release spiral shuriken appeared in his hand, and he raised his hand and threw it down.

Biwa Juuzou watched as his pupils shrank sharply, and he brandished his sword and shouted, "Scatter quickly!"

The next moment, Biwa Juzo's beheading sword collided with Hoshita Shuichi's Wind Release spiral shuriken.

Even Hoshita Shuichi couldn't help but be shocked.

You don't even dodge this?

Juzo, you are really brave!

The high-speed rotating Wind Release spiral shuriken forcibly cut through the beheading sword, and then this technique also lost its stability, and the part belonging to the Rasengan in the middle suddenly expanded.

Biwa Juuzou groaned, and the beheading sword broke into two. His body flew backwards and crashed through several large trees before he stopped. He hit the tree trunk with a bang and then slid down, sitting on the ground and unable to move.

Biwa Juzo's mouth was bleeding: "Damn... my ribs are broken."

"My arms and many of the meridians in my body have been severed. I can't use chakra anymore."
