Talent Tree Ninja: I Can Upgrade My Abilities

Although it was late at night, the Hokage's office was still brightly lit.

During this period, Sarutobi Hiruzen was stationed here.

It happened that Namikaze Minato was in the village, so the information transmitted through the communication toad reached Sarutobi Hiruzen very quickly.

Although no more intelligence had been received, the mere news that the Iwagakure had already dispatched troops was enough for Sarutobi Hiruzen to take seriously.

He first gave orders to send an Anbu team to the border of the Land of Grass to remind the border defense forces, and to go to the Grass Village to remind the Grass Ninjas to be on guard against the surprise attack of the Iwa Ninjas.

Although the Kusagakure Village was dealing with various major ninja villages, and recently had a special relationship with the Iwagakure, Sarutobi Hiruzen believed that the Kusagakure Village would never allow the Iwagakure to invade.

Because at that time the Kusagakure Village will no longer exist, and this is the core interest of the Kusagakure Village.

This is completely different from the River Kingdom. The River Kingdom has no ninja village at all because of the loss of the Rain Village.

Therefore, even though Hoshita Shuichi and Orochimaru had reminded him before, Sarutobi Hiruzen still believed that even if the Iwagakure sent troops, it would not be easy to pass through the Land of Grass, so there was still time to mobilize troops.

This was also the reason why he dared to dispatch troops to Platycodon Mountain several times before.

This is based on considerations of interests!

After issuing orders one after another, Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked a cigarette, but his thoughts flew to the Land of Rain.

In addition to the Grass Kingdom, the Rain Kingdom is also a point of concern for him.

Fortunately, the group is hiding there.

With the Root, it would not be easy for the Iwagakure to raid the border of the Fire Country through the Rain Country.

Soon Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of the Kumo ninja again.

Once the Iwagakure ninja goes into battle, Konoha's military strength will be severely shortened, and the Kumogakure ninja will definitely not be able to bear it.

Standing up and walking to the map, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked around and finally stopped at the location of Kikyo Mountain.

"Suna Ninja..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were solemn.

He was worried that the Kumo ninjas would take action before the Battle of Kikyo Mountain was won, and that would be extremely dangerous.

And Hoshita Shuichi... after considering for a long time and sighing, Sarutobi Hiruzen still did not make the decision to recall him.

Once Hoshita Shuichi leaves, the Suna Ninja will send reinforcements and the Battle of Mount Kikyo will immediately change.

"Shinosuke, Minato hasn't left yet, right?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke immediately appeared: "Yes, Minato is worried that Shuichi will send more information."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed: "Thanks for their hard work."

"Let Minato send a message to Shuichi, asking him to propose peace talks with the Suna Ninja on my behalf. I will send a special delegation to the Sunagakure."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke was shocked: "At this time... According to Shuichi's previous intelligence, the Iwa Ninja went to battle so quickly because of the Suna Ninja."

"I'm afraid the Suna Ninja will make unacceptable conditions at this time."

"We just need to hold on for a while. After the victory of the Battle of Kikyo Mountain, we can immediately reinforce the Grass Kingdom."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head: "But this would be too great a loss."

"And the Kumo ninjas, their movements will be even more swift."

"Facing the attacks of four ninja villages at the same time... Go!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke sighed secretly. Although he did not quite agree with this strategy, he understood his father's painstaking efforts, so he nodded and left.

After finding Namikaze Minato, Sarutobi Shinnosuke carefully explained Sarutobi Hiruzen's orders and considerations. Namikaze Minato nodded solemnly: "I will immediately let Myoboku Mountain inform Shuichi. With Shuichi's keenness, it should not be difficult to do this."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid Shuichi will not do what the Third Hokage wants."

Namikaze Minato was stunned for a moment, then he comforted him: "Don't worry, Shuichi will know his limits for such an important matter."

"Then I'll go."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded and watched Namikaze Minato leave.

When Namikaze Minato arrived at a remote place, he immediately summoned Gamabunta and asked him to bring information to Hoshita Shuichi.

Gamabunta nodded and cancelled the summoning. After returning to Myoboku Mountain, he immediately performed the reverse summoning technique.

Outside the Sunagakure, Hoshita Shuichi suddenly disappeared from his original place with a bang.

When he appeared again, it was already Myoboku Mountain, where the scenery was completely different from that of the Ninja World.

This was Hoshita Shuichi's first time at Myoboku Mountain. He glanced around and looked at the huge Gamabunta in front of him: "Bunta, it seems that there is news about Minato-sensei."

Gamabunta nodded: "According to Minato, the Sandaime Hokage instructed you to propose peace talks to the Fourth Kazekage."

Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said, "I see, why don't you summon Minato-sensei as well?"

"Um... this is also possible."

Gamabunta closed his front legs and performed the reverse summoning technique, and Namikaze Minato suddenly appeared next to Hoshita Shuichi.

"Shuichi!"

Namikaze Minato turned around, looked at Hoshita Shuichi with a smile, then stretched out his hand and gestured: "You have grown a lot taller!"

Hoshita Shuichi smiled happily and said, "Minato-sensei, we haven't seen each other for almost half a year."

"yes."

Namikaze Minato nodded with emotion: "Thank you for your hard work."

"So, you already know the orders from the Third Hokage, right?"

Hoshita Shuichi nodded and restrained his smile: "In fact, after I got the news that the Iwa Ninja was dispatched, I went to see the Fourth Kazekage and used the Bird Country to lure the Fourth Kazekage to send troops north and form an alliance with Konoha."

Namikaze Minato was stunned when he heard this: "This... the Iwa Ninja should have reached a secret agreement with the Suna Ninja, right?"

Hoshita Shuichi smiled playfully and said, "Minato-sensei, don't forget that in the eyes of most Suna Ninjas, the disappearance or death of the Third Kazekage is related to the Four-Tails Jinchuriki."

"Secondly, the Iwa Ninja took the initiative to attack the Kingdom of Wind."

"Furthermore, Pakura, who was regarded as a hero by the Sunagakure, died at the hands of the Iwagakure ninja."

"Of course, these are not the most important. The most important thing is that the interests of the Bird Country were taken by the Fourth Kazekage, and the River Country was the credit of the Third Kazekage."

"Under the current circumstances, the Suna Ninja will undoubtedly lose the battle at Mount Kikyo, regardless of whether the Iwa Ninja and the Kumo ninja send troops."

"For the sake of his fellow villagers and for revenge against the Iwagakure ninja, the prestige of the Fourth Kazekage will be further enhanced. If the interests of the Land of Birds are taken, then most of the Suna Ninja will forget the Third Kazekage and regard the Fourth Kazekage as the strongest Kazekage of all time."

Namikaze Minato frowned in thought, and after a moment nodded and said: "Shuichi, your analysis is very reasonable, but..."

Looking at his outstanding disciple with a serious look, Namikaze Minato said solemnly: "If we negotiate, the Suna Ninja will definitely put forward conditions, and the One-Tail will definitely be among them."

"Shuichi, you should know the consequences of having the tailed beast extracted."

Hoshita Shuichi nodded and smiled: "Minato Sensei, of course I know it very well."

"The One-Tail can be returned to the Suna Ninja, but not now."

"We have to wait until after the war. Hmm... set a three-year period. We will keep it for the Suna Ninja for three years."

Namikaze Minato was puzzled: "Shuichi you..."

Hoshita Shuichi explained: "Teacher Minato, you also know that my master's wife and I were studying the technique of sealing the soul, Shiki Fuujin."

"After that, I practiced the art of spiritualization, which allowed me to transform my spirit into a spiritual body and carry chakra into the enemy's body to attack."

"I studied the Uzumaki clan's Adamantine Sealing Chain Technique, and then created my own Netherworld Fire Chain Sealing Technique. But actually my original purpose was to develop a sealing technique that could seal the soul."

"Seal the soul..."

Namikaze Minato's expression changed slightly: "Shuichi, do you want to split the tailed beast?"

Gamabunta, who had been listening, was shocked. He looked down at Hoshita Shuichi with fear in his eyes: "Minato's disciple is really a scary person. Not only does he have amazing talent, he also has amazing ideas. He even dared to split the tailed beast..."

Hoshita Shuichi nodded to Namikaze Minato: "That's right, split the tailed beast."

"The power of the tailed beasts is too great."

"If Master wants to control the power of the Nine-Tails, or even tame it, she must first weaken it."

Since Hoshita Shuichi couldn't tell his real purpose now, he had to bring up Kushina Uzumaki.

But he did want to split the Nine-Tails so that Uzumaki Kushina could forcibly master the Nine-Tails' chakra mode first.

However, in addition to being touched, Namikaze Minato was more worried: "Shuichi, the teacher has also mastered the technique of Shiki Fuujin. It is extremely difficult to seal the soul."

"The Shiki Fuujin technique relies on that powerful god of death... Are you sure you can create such a technique without side effects within three years?"

Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said, "Minato-sensei should have more confidence in me. I am the best at developing ninjutsu."

"From the Spiritual Transformation Technique, I have developed a Spiritual Clone Technique. I have taken a step forward."

"I am still very confident within three years. However, I will need to ask the Third Hokage for some soul-related techniques after returning to Konoha."

Namikaze Minato smiled bitterly after hearing this, but then nodded seriously: "I will do my best to make this happen."

"Regarding the alliance with the Suna Ninja, I will also appeal to the Third Hokage."

"Shuichi, be careful in the Sunagakure."

After saying that, Namikaze Minato nodded to Gamabunta and disappeared from the spot.

Hoshita Shuichi also left Myoboku Mountain. Although he was also quite curious about this place, now was not the time.

And this night was destined to be a sleepless one for Sarutobi Hiruzen.

However, although he was old, he was not without his decisiveness, so he agreed to use Hoshita Shuichi's plan without thinking for too long.

And after Hoshita Shuichi and the Fourth Kazekage reach a preliminary agreement, someone will be sent to take over the negotiations on the alliance.

…

Outside the Sunagakure, Hoshita Shuichi waited quietly after receiving a reply from Gamabunta.

He knew that the Fourth Kazekage probably couldn't sleep at this moment either.

In fact, the Fourth Kazekage was in a meeting at this moment.

The turn was a bit sudden, catching many of the Suna Ninja leaders off guard.

Chiyo was the first to express his opinion: "I support the Fourth Generation!"

Since Rasa held this meeting, the tendency is already very obvious.

She agreed, not because of the time bomb-like curse in her body, nor for her brother on Mount Kikyo, but entirely for the benefit of the Sunagakure.

But some people disagreed: "Konoha proposed this plan because the Iwagakure sent troops and they are in big trouble. As long as we hold on and Konoha is defeated, we can even take back the River Kingdom."

Chiyo immediately retorted: "But we can't wait. Kikyo Mountain can no longer hold on."

"That's more than 2,000 people, and more than half of them are elite troops."

"You should know that after we lose them, we may not be able to recover in the next ten years."

"Besides, since this is a peace talk, we can naturally strive for some benefits, such as taking back one!"

The objecting Suna Ninja immediately said: "How is that possible?"

"Taking back the One-Tail means that Hoshita Shuichi will definitely die. Konoha will never agree to this request."

Chiyo then said: "Then we have to take back some of the interests of the River Country!"

This is her real purpose.

And this is also Rasa's plan.

When the argument was almost over, Rasa said firmly: "I have decided to negotiate peace with Konoha."

"Chiyo, you go negotiate with Hoshita Shuichi."

"One Tail, River Country, and his companions in Kikyo Mountain."

Chiyo nodded immediately: "I understand!"

She immediately got up and left, without stopping for a moment, and ran straight out of the village.

…

"You came pretty quickly..."

Hoshita Shuichi smiled in the base.

A moment later, Chiyo appeared in his sight and walked into the stronghold.

"Hoshita Shuichi, you should know the reason why I came here."

Chiyo got straight to the point: "So Konoha wants to negotiate an alliance, what are the conditions?"

Hoshita Shuichi shook his head after hearing this: "It's not that we in Konoha want to form an alliance, but I gave you the choice to form an alliance."

"If you don't form an alliance, I don't care. Konoha won't lose this war. At most, it will suffer a little more loss."

"But the other ninja villages will suffer greater losses, because I am a person with a strong sense of revenge."

Chiyo frowned, this brat was much more difficult to deal with than she had imagined.

Hoshita Shuichi looked at Chiyo and continued, "Now the best choice before you in the Sunagakure is to cooperate with us, Konoha, and then confront each other on the surface of Mount Kikyo."

"Once we make contact with the Iwagakure ninja at the Fire Nation border, you will head north."

"The troops of Mount Kikyo will go north to block the retreat of the Iwagakure ninja, while those here will go north to enter the Land of Birds."

"Senior, do you think the Kumo Ninja will also attack the Iwa Ninja at that time?"

Chiyo frowned, nodded reluctantly, and then said: "But our efforts are not in line with our gains, and it is difficult for the ninjas in the village to accept such a result."

The initiative was no longer in her hands, so Chiyo could only put forward a tough request: "We can cooperate with Konoha to send troops, and we can form an alliance with Konoha, but Konoha must return the interests of the River Country that originally belonged to our Sunagakure."

"Second, one must be returned!"

Hoshita Shuichi shook his head after hearing this: "It's impossible for the River Country. That's the price you pay for attacking Konoha!"

"As for the one tail... I can return it to you."

After hearing this, Chiyo looked at Hoshita Shuichi in surprise. This was completely unexpected.

She even wondered if Hoshita Shuichi was crazy?Hoshita Shuichi continued: "It's okay for Shukaku to return, but not now. We have to wait three years."

Chiyo's eyes darkened, and she instantly understood Hoshita Shuichi's thoughts.

Still refusing to pay it back after three years!

Hoshita Shuichi said: "Don't worry, since I promised, I won't break my promise."

"I also know that extracting the tailed beast will kill me, but don't forget that I am still a medical ninja."

Speak the truth to people and lies to ghosts.

What's the point in fighting to the death with the Suna Ninja and the Iwa Ninja? Of course, I should let them fight to the death.

After he cuts off the One-Tail, if Uchiha Madara wants to cause trouble in the future, he should first look for the Jinchuriki of the Sunagakure!

I'll eat the meat, and I'll give you the pot!

However, Hoshita Shuichi's unconventional moves confused Chiyo. After thinking for a while, she said, "I will report these to the Kazekage truthfully."

Having said that, she turned and left.

Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said, "To show my sincerity, the curse will be lifted first."

As he spoke, he raised one hand, and Chiyo immediately felt the chakra in her body disappear.

She paused for a moment, then quickly disappeared.

Hoshita Shuichi watched quietly: Go and fight the Iwagakure!

Even... maybe they could use the Suna Ninja to destroy the Kusagakure Village???

If the Kusagakure Village allowed the Iwa Ninja to march straight in, then there would be no need for this disobedient little brother to exist.

Destroyed the Kusagakure Village and divided up the Kusagakure Country.

Of course, this would also result in Konoha's forces being directly separated from the Iwagakure without any buffer.

Then change an obedient one in Kusagakure?Evil thoughts grew in Hoshita Shuichi's heart.
