Talent Tree Ninja: I Can Upgrade My Abilities

Chiren Hozumi was kicked so hard by Might Gai that he couldn't move at all. But Biwa Juuzou recovered his breath and actually climbed up little by little.

Unfortunately, Pakura came and took him back directly.

Hoshita Shuichi looked at it, thought for a moment and said: "Keep it and send it back to Konoha to be handed over to the torture department!"

Biwa Juuzou couldn't help but struggle: "Damn it!"

Pakura immediately knocked him out with a sword.

Hoshita Shuichi created a shadow clone to heal the injuries of Biwa Juzo and Chiren Hozumi to prevent them from dying.

"Uncle Dai, are you okay?"

Hoshita Shuichi came to Might Dai, who was kneeling on one knee and breathing heavily.

"It's okay... I just used up too much energy."

Might Dai shook his head tiredly, but his face was full of smiles.

Hoshita Shuichi put one hand on Might Dai's shoulder, and the Yang release Chakra flowed into Might Dai's body, nourishing his body.

At this moment, Might Gai and the other two, who saw the situation on the battlefield clearly, were stunned.

There were deep pits of all sizes and large charred marks everywhere.

The most important thing is the corpses.

"This is…so amazing!"

Ebisu, who was wearing sunglasses, couldn't help swallowing.

Genma Shiranui, biting a senbon, looked at the bodies on the ground: "These guys are from the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, the ones who broke through our defenses."

"It seems like we are not in the same dimension as Shuichi right now!"

Gai looked around blankly, then quickly came to Matt Dai, tears streaming down his face, "Dad!"

Mighty Dai then hugged Kai and cried loudly together.

Hoshita Shuichi withdrew his hand awkwardly.

He really didn't know why the two were crying.

It doesn't look like he's sad, nor does it look like he's survived a disaster... I don't understand!

At this time, Ebisu and Genma Shiranui came to the tall Fuguki Suikazan. Ebisu couldn't help but poke it with his hand, and turned to ask Genma Shiranui: "Is this guy trapped by Shuichi's illusion?"

Genma Shiranui also looked carefully, and then he looked up and saw a little burnt mark on the neck of the Fuguki Suikazan, and quickly poked Ebisu: "I'm afraid it's not an illusion."

Ebisu took a closer look and swallowed, "The neck was cut off."

Then the two of them went to look at the shattered Hozuki Chiba on the ground.

"Why is this guy like this?"

Ebisu asked.

Genma Shiranui shook his head.

Hoshita Shuichi came over and said with a smile: "Because of the water transformation technique."

"The secret technique of the Kirigakure Hozuki clan can turn the body into water, making it almost immune to physical attacks."

Genma Shiranui reacted quickly: "So, it was caused by the lightning release technique?"

Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "The water transformation technique is restrained by the lightning release technique."

"As for Fire Release, it all depends on who is stronger and who is weaker."

Genma Shiranui and Ebisu nodded at the same time, and then came to Kurisai Kushimaru's body.

"Was he kicked to death by Uncle Dai?"

Ebisu turned around in disbelief and looked at the father and son who were still crying.

They could not see it because of the fog.

But it was obvious that the injury was caused by pure physical skills, which did not seem to be in line with Hoshita Shuichi's style.

Hoshita Shuichi was happy to make Might Dai famous, and nodded and explained: "It's Uncle Dai's forbidden taijutsu."

"The captured guy was also severely injured by Uncle Dai's kick."

Genma Shiranui couldn't help but say, "This is incredible."

Hoshita Shuichi said: "Physical training is very difficult. Uncle Dai has worked hard for twenty years to achieve today's breakthrough."

Ebisu and Genma Shiranui looked at the father and son hugging each other and couldn't believe that Might Gai had the terrifying power to kill the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Kiri Ninja.

They are very familiar with Might Dai, a person who has been a Genin for thousands of years, but no one is willing to team up with him to complete the mission.

It really subverts cognition.

Hoshita Shuichi took off the large scroll he was carrying and said, "Genma, Ebisu, please help me move the body over here!"

"OK."

Ebisu and Genma Shiranui hurried to move the body and handed it to Hoshita Shuichi to seal it.

Over there, Hoshita Shuichi's clone gave emergency treatment to the two captives and then immediately sealed them.

Five elements sealed, limbs heavily sealed.

At this time, Gai and Might Dai also finished their "soul sublimation", and Hoshita Shuichi clearly felt the difference in Gai.

That was an unprecedented determination,People really need hope and clear goals to support them,Hoshita Shuichi sighed secretly, then released the shadow clone, looked at the seven swords on the ground, and asked with a smile: "Do you like any of them?"

Shiranui GenTenzon and the others looked at each other.

Ebisu said, "Shuichi, this is the spoils of war between you and Uncle Dai."

Might Dai quickly shook his head: "I am just assisting Shuichi, these are Shuichi's."

Hoshita Shuichi laughed: "Although I said I want to collect them, these ninja swords still need an owner to be useful."

After hearing this, Genma Shiranui stepped forward and picked up the sewing needle. After gesturing a few times, he shook his head and said, "Shuichi, I still like my Senbon."

Gai picked up the broken beheading sword and swung it a few times, then threw it down: "I prefer to use my fists and feet."

Ebisu first picked up the explosive sword [Shibuki], but he didn't wield it very well.

Then he changed to a blunt sword [Kabutowari], but almost hit his foot, which made everyone laugh.

When he tried to grab the big sword Samehada, he was bitten by the revived Samehada. He immediately screamed and dodged, "Shuichi, is this sword actually alive?"

Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said: "The big sword Samehada can indeed be said to be alive. This sword can devour chakra, especially likes strong chakra."

As he said this, he picked up the big sword Samehada, and a stream of Four-Tails chakra gushed out. Samehada immediately consumed it, and then, in front of everyone's astonished gaze, he followed Hoshita Shuichi's hand and climbed onto Hoshita Shuichi's back.

However, Hoshita Shuichi knew that Samehada was a man of submissive character. With chakra stronger than the Four-Tails, he would definitely rebel.

So, he took Samehada off his back and sealed it directly.

Hoshita Shuichi finally looked at Pakura, who shook his head: "My combat system is complete."

Hoshita Shuichi did not force it, and sealed the other swords one by one, and put them into the sealing scroll.

If Gai and the others don't want to use these knives, then we can train them later or choose suitable people.

It would not be a bad idea to train a group of Seven Ninja Swordsmen as your subordinates.

After packing up everything, Hoshita Shuichi said to Gai and the others: "Uncle Dai, Gai, you take the prisoners back to Konoha and hand them over to the village for torture and information."

The four of them immediately became solemn, and Might Dai nodded very seriously: "Don't worry, Shuichi, I will do my best to escort them back to Konoha!"

Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "With Uncle Dai here, it's not a problem at all."

"Then let us go!"

Gai and the other three nodded in unison, then took the scroll and the two captives and left.

"Shuichi-sama, where are we going next?"

Pakura asked.

Without hesitation, Hoshita Shuichi said: "I will leave a clone to form a team with you. The Suna Ninja battlefield still needs me."

Pakura understood and was touched, and quickly said, "Thank you, Shuichi-sama."

Hoshita Shuichi created a shadow clone and said, "You go to Jiraiya first, I will go back to the River Country."

After saying this, he disappeared.

Watching the main body disappear, the shadow clone suddenly said to Pakura: "It seems that we forgot one thing. We don't know where the front-line base of the Kiri Ninja is."

Under the mask, Pakura couldn't help but be stunned.

Why does it feel like this shadow clone of Shuichi-sama seems a little unreliable?

…

In the River Country, it was already evening when Hoshita Shuichi returned.

But Orochimaru is still there.

Seeing Hoshita Shuichi coming back, Orochimaru looked up and smiled, "It's a little slower than I expected."

Hoshita Shuichi sat down opposite Orochimaru, picked up the barbecue on the table and put it directly into his mouth: "Lord Orochimaru, it must be very tiring to rescue from such a long distance."

"Flying Thunder God consumes a lot of chakra, and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are quite powerful."

Orochimaru became interested and asked, "Is there anything special?"

Hoshita Shuichi thought for a moment and said, "Except for the one from the Hozuki Clan, there is nothing special about the people, but the seven swords are good."

"A large sword, Samehada, can absorb chakra, even the chakra of the tailed beasts."

Orochimaru's eyes lit up when he heard this: "No wonder this guy Jiraiya has a headache."

Hoshita Shuichi took out the sealing scroll, took out the big sword Samehada and showed it to Orochimaru, and then asked: "Are there any further arrangements in the village?"

Orochimaru fiddled with his great sword Samehada while saying, "Besides increasing the troops, nothing more for now."

"Right now, the Suna Ninja and the Iwa Ninja have not shown any signs of cooperation, and the Anbu and the Root have not received the corresponding intelligence."

After finishing his barbecue, Hoshita Shuichi took the water and drank it all in one gulp, saying, "I have a feeling that the Sunagakure is about to take action."

"The Sunagakure can't afford a long-term confrontation with us. We can get supplies from the River Country, but the Sunagakure can't."

"Lord Orochimaru, my suggestion is that you go to the border of the Land of Fire in secret to guard against a surprise attack on the Suna Ninja Village."

Orochimaru put down the big sword Samehada, and Samehada immediately sneaked up on Hoshita Shuichi's back.

After a slightly surprised look, Orochimaru said, "It is indeed a solution."

Hoshita Shuichi said: "Of course, you can let Master Hoshita Shuichi go."

"But if the Suna Ninja attacks suddenly, she may not be able to stop it."

Orochimaru smiled and said, "Shuichi-kun, don't underestimate them."

Hoshita Shuichi shook his head and sighed: "It's not contempt, but a different mentality."

Orochimaru pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "The movements of the Sunagakure cannot be hidden from you, Shuichi-kun. When the time comes, it should be okay for you to use Flying Thunder God to send me there, right?"

Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "Okay."

"But I'm afraid my real body can't go there. At that time, the Sunagakure will definitely feint an attack here."

He is not yet sure that he can completely control Shukaku and Bunfuku.

The sealing power of the Netherworld Fire Chain is not strong enough.

The Illusion Realm - Memory Palace certainly can't control the combined efforts of Shukaku and Bunfuku.

Orochimaru smiled and said, "Having a clone is enough. Flying Thunder God is fast enough. I can arrive in advance and make certain preparations."

Hoshita Shuichi said: "That amount of troops should not be enough, right?"

Orochimaru asked with a smile: "Shuichi-kun, what do you think the Suna Ninja's intention is if they launch a surprise attack?"

Hoshita Shuichi thought for a moment and said, "The first step is still the River Country."

"It seems that the first target is still us..."

"It's much faster to mobilize troops from here than from the village. Are we going to raid the border and make it difficult for them to advance or retreat?"

Orochimaru pointed at the map and said, "The Suna Ninjas raided the border, overwhelmed our defenses, and chose a location to hold fast. Only a portion of their forces are needed to hold off the reinforcements sent by the village for a while."

"So we can allocate some troops to go back and cut off our logistics and attack us from both sides."

"Shuichi-kun, you are very powerful, but you can't protect everyone. There is a high chance that we will be defeated."

"After that, the Suna Ninja will be able to concentrate their forces to counterattack the Fire Country border again, and the River Country will become the Suna Ninja's supply base."

Hoshita Shuichi nodded, and then his eyes fell on the place with a red circle on the map: "Lord Orochimaru plans to hold the Suna Ninja here?"

Orochimaru smiled and nodded: "That's right."

"This place is called Kikyo Peak. There is a castle on top of it. The terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack."

"I will hold off the Suna Ninja here until reinforcements arrive from the village."

"And Shuichi, you have to hold off Chiyo's army and One Tail here."

Kikyo Mountain!

Hoshita Shuichi suddenly realized and immediately gave a thumbs up: "As expected of Lord Orochimaru!"

"But it seems that my task will be very heavy!"

Orochimaru smiled and said, "I believe in Shuichi-kun!"

"certainly..."

Orochimaru paused, his smile faded, and figures flashed through his mind. He said, "If you really can't stop it, don't force it."

"You have Flying Thunder God, you can retreat directly to Kikyo Mountain."

Hoshita Shuichi nodded seriously after hearing this: "I understand!"

After chatting for a while, Hoshita Shuichi walked out of the tent.

The sky is already full of stars.

Hoshita Shuichi let out a long breath and felt a little tired.

Not physically, but mentally.

He doesn't like fighting and killing, and he thinks practice and research are more interesting.

Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned!

"Shuichi."

Uchiha Shisui appeared, interrupting Hoshita Shuichi's thoughts.

He smiled and waved, and the two of them headed towards the medical camp.

Uchiha Shisui asked: "Shuichi, you seem a little tired..."

Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "I don't like war."

Uchiha Shisui nodded and said, "As you said before, Shuichi, war is not something we can decide."

"But there is one thing we can decide, and that is victory!"

Hoshita Shuichi nodded, and then asked: "Shisui, have you ever thought about how to make this world free of war?"

Uchiha Shisui was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This is too far away. Protecting the village and my family is my first priority."

"To make the whole world free of war... this should be difficult, right?"

"The first Hokage once did it..."

Uchiha Shisui looked at Hoshita Shuichi and said with a smile: "Shuichi, I think you can surpass the first Hokage, and maybe you can end the war in the ninja world."

Hoshita Shuichi grabbed Uchiha Shisui's shoulder and said with a smile: "This is not something I can do alone."

"Even the first Hokage has many supporters."

"I heard that the original intention of the first Hokage to establish the Konoha Ninja Village was actually to protect the younger generation and prevent children from going to the battlefield."

"I have the same idea. If there were no war, I would be able to go to school and play in the village without any worries!"

"To be honest, I don't want my child to be like me... I hope he can grow up and then face these things, or even never have to face them."

Uchiha Shisui was stunned and tried to imagine such a scene, but found it impossible to imagine.

Since he graduated from the Ninja School and entered the Ninja series, it seems that he has become accustomed to going to war when war breaks out.

"If that's possible..."

Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but admire, then he stopped and looked at Hoshita Shuichi, and said seriously: "I believe Shuichi you can do it."

"Of course, I will always support you!"

Hoshita Shuichi stretched out his hand.

Uchiha Shisui then stretched out his hand, and with a snap, their hands were clasped together.
