Talent Tree Ninja: I Can Upgrade My Abilities

In the illusion, in the Root base, Hoshita Shuichi, who was playing the role of Danzo, smiled and said, "Finally, we have been found?"

With a roar, a huge monster fell from the sky from the root base. Wherever it passed, the crisscrossing sky bridges collapsed one after another.

Boom!

Shukaku landed on the ground, raised his claws and smashed down: "You hid here and became so ugly!"

"Go to hell!"

Hoshita Shuichi jumped up, ended his role-playing, and fought with Shukaku.

He wants to delay time.

But it is obvious that the tailed beasts are very special.

Even within the spiritual space, there is a terrifying force, which is now venting its power wantonly, so that the entire root base is collapsing.

Swish!

Hoshita Shuichi suddenly disappeared and used Flying Thunder God to transfer.

Shukaku immediately chased out, condensed the Tailed Beast Bomb in his mouth, and attacked the ground from a distance with a plow.

The earth shook and the entire illusion began to collapse.

However, the power of the spiritual clone that serves as the carrier of the spell is no longer enough to withstand the ravages of Shukaku's power.

…

Under the night sky, ninjas from Konoha and Suna Ninja collided on the sand, with Shukaku at the center of the battlefield.

The Suna Ninja wants to rescue Shukaku, but Konoha tries to stop them.

At this moment, behind Shukaku, Hoshita Shuichi, who had already pulled Shukaku one-third of the way out, sighed: "What a pity..."

The illusion was broken!

Shukaku and Bunfuku woke up one after another.

Moreover, the old woman Chiyo actually broke through Uchiha Shisui's blockade, allowing the two Suna Ninjas to rush over.

Seeing this, Hoshita Shuichi was extremely decisive. A clone appeared beside him and summoned the Yaegaki sword.

Azure Flame Waterfall sword!

A giant blue sword emerged and slashed down when Bunpuku was about to pull Shukaku back, cutting off the one-third that was pulled out by Hoshita Shuichi.

The huge amount of chakra was entangled by the Netherworld Fire Chain and pulled into the body. While Shukaku and Bunfuku were sealed, he once again cast an illusion on Shukaku and Bunfuku.

The Golden Binding Technique!

The man and the raccoon cat were immediately frozen.

But this time was shorter, they broke free in less than 1 second.

But after completing the seal, Hoshita Shuichi unleashed a series of ninjutsu.

Earth Release - Yellow Spring Swamp!

Lightning Release - Sixteen Pillar Binding!

First, Shukaku's much smaller body was trapped again, and then stone pillars rose up from the ground around him, and lightning appeared, forming an area of lightning.

Obviously, this is nothing to the sand-bodied Shukaku.

But next comes the technique of unglazed firewood.

A blue high-temperature flame emerged and enveloped Shukaku.

This trapped Shukaku, and Hoshita Shuichi immediately jumped up and knocked away the two Suna Ninjas that were attacking him as fast as lightning, and blew a whistle to retreat.

The Konoha ninjas fought and retreated like the tide. Hoshita Shuichi created many clones and cut off from Uchiha Shisui.

After Chiyo and the Suna Ninja surrounded Shukaku, they did not pursue them.

Hoshita Shuichi's strength is extraordinary, and without Shukaku they would not dare to be his enemy.

Carrying the bodies of the wounded and fallen comrades, Konoha successfully retreated back to the River Kingdom.

Hoshita Shuichi stopped and ordered: "Send the injured to the medical team immediately, and the rest of the people will stand guard and rest according to the previous arrangement."

"In order to hold back my true form, the Suna Ninja will provoke me more than just this once."

Sarutobi Shin and the others nodded: "Understood!"

Everyone hid in the woods.

Hoshita Shuichi said to Uchiha Shisui who stayed behind: "Shisui, you should go and rest too!"

"Gather your strength, and then we can fight Shukaku together!"

Uchiha Shisui smiled and said, "Okay!"

After saying that, Uchiha Shisui flashed away.

Hoshita Shuichi then jumped up, sat down on the tree canopy, and looked towards the Suna Ninja, but his spirit body was already inside the Eight Trigrams Seal in his abdomen.

When the little Four-Tails saw him appear, he said, "It looks like it won't be long before you can catch that Shukaku guy."

Hoshita Shuichi looked at Shukaku's huge chakra and smiled, "I have no intention of catching Shukaku."

Little Four-Tail seemed to be thinking about something.

Hoshita Shuichi ignored him and continued to feel the power within Shukaku's chakra.

…

Platycodon Mountain, Platycodon City.

This castle in the River Kingdom originally belonged to a noble of the River Kingdom, but now it has become a military fortress of Konoha.

It was Hoshita Shuichi's shadow clone who brought Orochimaru to the border of the Fire Country and took over command, and then brought his men here.

But right now, there are actually only three hundred ninjas in Konoha.

Fortunately, after arriving at Kikyo Mountain, Hoshita Shuichi immediately summoned Gamabunta and sent a message to Konohagakure for help through the toad on Myoboku Mountain.

This speed was even faster than when he returned to Konoha.

After all, Hoshita Shuichi couldn't teleport to Konoha instantly.

However, there is a direct passage from Myoboku Mountain to Konoha.

Even if your teacher Namikaze Minato is in the village, you can just use a reverse summoning technique to summon him and then cancel it.

Orochimaru was busy deploying troops and arranging defenses.

Hoshita Shuichi found a secluded place, transformed into a mini Four-Tails and began to recover his chakra.

It was obviously impossible for him to disarm Konoha with such limited military strength.

We must hold on until reinforcements from Konoha arrive.

And obviously, the elite Sand Shinobi will arrive before Konoha's reinforcements.

Because the distance from the Suna Ninja battlefield in the north to Mount Kikyo is much closer than the distance from Konoha to Mount Kikyo.

Even if Konoha mobilized troops overnight and rushed there as quickly as possible, it would definitely be after dawn tomorrow.

Suna Ninja 800 VS 300, this advantage is huge!

Time passes by little by little.

At 3 a.m., Ebizo arrived with the elite Suna Ninjas.

The elite team of Suna Ninjas that had advanced ahead of them had already discovered Konoha's troop transfer.

After receiving the report, Ebizo frowned and said, "Kikyo Mountain?"

"It's easy to defend there but difficult to attack..."

A Suna Ninja jonin nearby said, "Even so, we have enough people."

"There are only three hundred people in Konoha."

As he was speaking, a figure came quickly, landed in front of Ebizo's hiding place and said, "The blue flash chakra of Konoha has been detected in Kikyo Mountain!"

The Suna Ninjas around were all shocked when they heard this.

Ebizo was already prepared, and said calmly: "Don't worry, this is just Hoshita Shuichi's shadow clone."

"With Shukaku holding him back, there's no way his real body will appear here."

He looked towards the hazy Kikyo Mountain and shouted, "Begin the attack in half an hour!"

…

Inside Kikyo Mountain, Orochimaru and Hoshita Shuichi stood on the roof, looking down at the direction where the Suna Ninjas were gathering.

Orochimaru smiled and said, "With less than three times the number of troops, and the Fourth Kazekage not coming in person, I really underestimated you, Shuichi-kun."

Hoshita Shuichi said calmly: "Although it is said that the shadow clone can exert all the abilities of the original body, it is not actually the case."

"I can't enter the Fire Release Chakra Mode with my Shadow Clone. The Lava Release Chakra Mode is not something I'm good at, but it's still within the norm. The Fourth Kazekage really doesn't need to come in person."

"Besides, the Fourth Kazekage didn't dare to leave."

If the Fourth Kazekage dared to leave, the Third Tsuchikage would dare to order the Iwagakure to counterattack.

The current Suna Ninja and Iwagakure Ninja are not in a formal alliance.

Hoshita Shuichi turned his head towards the Land of Earth and said, "Once the war between us and the Suna Ninja becomes intense, the Iwa Ninja will probably be unable to resist taking action."

Orochimaru nodded, but he was not worried: "Don't worry too much. Although the old man's personality has become conservative, he still has enough strength to deal with it."

Hoshita Shuichi withdrew his gaze and nodded slowly.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

The Suna Ninja reached the foot of the mountain and attacked from all sides without stopping.

In the dark night, a war broke out!

On the rooftop, Hoshita Shuichi looked at the Suna Ninjas charging towards him, lightning flashed on his limbs.

Lightning wrapped around his limbs and his entire body. Hoshita Shuichi held a standard katana in his right hand and a kunai in his left hand. The next moment, under Orochimaru's gaze, he turned into a flash of lightning and swooped down from the roof, leaving everything charred wherever he passed.

"Watch out, Konoha's blue flash is coming!"

"It's just a shadow clone, using Wind Release to limit his speed."

"Puppet hidden weapon ready!"

…

Seeing the lightning coming, the Suna Ninja immediately mobilized their elite troops and prepared to surround and kill Hoshita Shuichi.

However, after killing three Suna Ninjas in a row, Hoshita Shuichi suddenly disappeared from his original place and appeared in another place. He rescued a Konoha Ninja and then killed all the Suna Ninjas.

He used earth jutsu, wind jutsu, lightning jutsu, fire jutsu, water jutsu, and illusion techniques with ease. Wherever Hoshita Shuichi went, the Suna Ninjas there were quickly defeated.

And the Suna Ninja had no way to set an ambush in advance.

Because it is impossible to determine where Hoshita Shuichi will appear.

The shadow clone did not carry a large number of Flying Thunder God Kunai, but every Konoha ninja was his coordinate. He might appear next to any Konoha ninja, and then use various ninjutsu to output and frustrate the Suna Ninja's offensive.

This was also the tactic decided upon by Hoshita Shuichi himself and Orochimaru after prior discussion.

Rescue, disintegrate the Suna Ninja offensive!Although the Rasenshuriken technique is very powerful, it also consumes a lot of energy.

Even if Hoshita Shuichi's shadow clone used this technique, it would be impossible to destroy all the Suna Ninjas.

After all, the Suna Ninjas today are not gathered together like the Kiri Ninjas last time, but have turned the entire Kikyo Mountain into a battlefield and are attacking the Kikyo Mountain from any direction.

In this situation, sustained combat capability under conventional ninjutsu is the best option.

Half an hour later, the fiercely attacking Suna Ninjas retreated like the tide.

Hoshita Shuichi stopped and couldn't help but breathe heavily.

The chakra consumption is too great!

If this continues, he might not be able to hold on any longer.

Although it was also half an hour, his output was too strong.

After saying hello to Orochimaru, Hoshita Shuichi disappeared and went to a secret room, where he transformed into a mini Four-Tails and recovered his chakra.

However, in less than half an hour, the Suna Ninja attacked again.

Orochimaru, who was in charge of the command, also came out and summoned ten thousand snakes.

But the Suna Ninja also summoned two large summoned beasts, a scorpion, and a sandworm that could burrow into the ground, and barely held back the Ten Thousand Snakes.

Hoshita Shuichi continued to put out fires everywhere, roaming around every corner of the battlefield and blocking the fierce attacks of the Suna Ninja.

Halfway up the mountain, Ebizo, who was in charge of the command, stared at the flashes of lightning with a very unhappy expression.

"Although it's not the real body, sometimes space ninjutsu and shadow clones can keep coming from there..."

Ebizo felt helpless.

He really had no way to do anything about the Konoha Blue Flash, this kind of instant body movement technique could not be restricted at all.

Originally, he was very confident that with 800 people he could defeat Konoha's troops deployed on the border of the Land of Fire in one fell swoop, but now he has a premonition that he will fail.

After thinking for a moment, Ebizo immediately sent people back to the northern battlefield of the Wind Kingdom.

We must ask for help, otherwise this strategy will definitely fail.

Time passes by little by little.

The Suna Ninja's fierce attacks came one after another.

By the time daybreak, the Suna Ninja had already launched six attacks.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, the first batch of reinforcements from Konoha finally arrived.

After the perception ninja discovered it, Ebizo immediately sent out 200 people to intercept and eliminate the 100 reinforcements from Konoha.

But when he saw Hoshita Shuichi walking in the air, he had to give up the idea.

Ebizo was afraid that sending 200 people would be like throwing meat buns at a dog, and they would never come back.

Thus, the 100 reinforcements were easily assisted by Hoshita Shuichi and entered Kikyo Mountain.

However, Hoshita Shuichi was not happy, because among the reinforcements, Yakushi Nono and Shizune were both members of the medical team.

On the contrary, Yakushi Nono and Shizune were very happy after seeing Hoshita Shuichi, and their worries disappeared at once.

However, there were too many injured people at the moment. In addition to Hoshita Shuichi, even Orochimaru was injured. So before the three of them could say anything more, Yakushi Nono and Shizune began to work without stopping.

"People really have double standards..."

Hoshita Shuichi sighed secretly as he looked at the two busy people, then went to recover his chakra.

The Suna Ninja's offensive will not stop because of these 100 reinforcements. On the contrary, it may become even more crazy.

…

The west side of the River Country was just as Hoshita Shuichi had expected.

Although he was beaten badly, Shukaku still enjoyed the fight.

But he had another helper—Chiyo! Hoshita Shuichi brought Uchiha Shisui with him and summoned Gamabunta to deal with Shukaku and the others.

Three battles were fought in one night, and neither side could defeat the other.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, Utane Koharu finally arrived and took over the command, while Hoshita Shuichi concentrated on dealing with Shukaku.

at the same time.

In the north of the Land of Wind, the Fourth Kazekage received Ebizo's request for help and fell into silence.

800 men were actually the limit of the number of troops he could withdraw.

If more manpower is removed, his side will become weak.

"It seems that we can only recruit people from the village..."

The Fourth Kazekage made a decision quickly.

Up to now, the war potential of the Sunagakure has not been fully tapped.

The order was given to fly back to the Sunagakure via flying ninja beasts. That afternoon, 600 reinforcements from the Sunagakure left the Village and headed straight for the Kikyo Mountain battlefield.

At this time, three batches of reinforcements arrived in succession to Konoha. The arrival of new forces made Ebizo completely lose the possibility of taking Mount Kikyo in a short time.

The next day, reinforcements from the Sunagakure arrived, bringing their combat strength to over a thousand.

At this time, there were more than 700 Konoha ninjas in Kikyo Mountain who were capable of fighting.

With Hoshita Shuichi's shadow clone as a firefighter, the two sides become evenly matched.

Under such circumstances, the original quick battle naturally turned into a protracted war.

…

Iwagakure Village, Tsuchikage Building.

After reading the information, Onoki fell into deep thought.

The current situation seems to be a very good time to take action.

The actions of the Sunagakure forced Konoha to repeatedly increase its troops.

According to rough calculations, Konoha has deployed more than three thousand troops because of the Mist and Suna Ninjas.

After thinking for a moment, Ōnoki stood up.

He decided to go south in person to meet the young Fourth Kazekage!

…

The border of the Kingdom of Birds and the Kingdom of Wind.

In the dark night, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa and the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki met across the border between the two countries.

"Fourth Kazekage, I have ordered the army to retreat!"

Onoki spoke up.

Rasa also said immediately: "I have also ordered a withdrawal!"

"However, if the Iwagakure Ninja dares to offend again, the Sunagakure will use all its strength to fight the Iwagakure Ninja!"

Faced with such a threat, Ōnoki didn't care at all and said calmly: "Iwa Ninja is not afraid of anyone."

"Fourth Kazekage, you should investigate the death of the Third Kazekage!"

"Of course, it's already obvious who it is."

Rasa was unmoved: "Don't worry about this, Tsuchikage."

…

Although the meeting between the Fourth Kazekage and the Third Tsuchikage was not pleasant and harmonious, they reached a tacit understanding with each other.

That night, the two armies retreated separately.

At the western border of the River Country, Hoshita Shuichi, who had just finished a battle with Shukaku, received the memories fed back by his shadow clone and immediately felt something was wrong.

The Suna Ninja and the Iwagakure Ninja ceased fighting and withdrew their troops, and then Konoha was in big trouble.

"Shisui, go and report to Lord Koharu that the Suna Ninja and the Iwa Ninja have withdrawn their troops."

Hoshita Shuichi said to Uchiha Shisui who had just sat down to rest.

"What?"

Uchiha Shisui was surprised, then nodded solemnly: "I understand!"

Having said that, the person disappeared.

Hoshita Shuichi rubbed his eyebrows.

He has been using Strength of a Hundred Seal these days. Even when he is not fighting, he uses a small amount of chakra to keep every cell active in order to relieve fatigue.

But mental fatigue is difficult to solve.

"I really want to go directly to your lair..."

A fierce light flashed in Hoshita Shuichi's eyes.

This repeated pulling made him feel uncomfortable.
