It will be a success!

This refers to the Star Show.

The Sky Ninja suffered heavy casualties this time. Not only was their leader assassinated, but hundreds of ninjas died in the battle.

The root squad also suffered heavy casualties in terms of its numbers.

Whether they were Root members or Sky Ninja, even if they were Sky Ninja leaders, they would not be remembered in the future.

Or, even if it is mentioned, it is only as a backdrop to the rise of Xingxia Show's fame.

……

When the other root squads arrived and entered the forest, they were all horrified to see the gruesome corpses hanging there.

Upon arriving at the very center, and learning from Shimura Daichi and the others that the leader of the Sky Ninja had been assassinated by Hoshishita Hideaki, everyone looked at Hoshishita Hideaki with awe.

Wood Release ninjas, terrifying indeed!

Xingxia Xiu could sense the gazes around her more acutely than ever before.

What does [mental abnormality] bring about?

Xingxia Xiu secretly guessed, but unfortunately the timing was wrong.

If I were in Konoha, I might be able to find some relevant secret techniques to practice.

For example, soul-related techniques, such as Tobirama Senju's Soul Imprisonment Technique, even Spirit Transformation Technique, as well as sensory ninjutsu, should all be suitable.

But today is the last day of the "mental abnormality" state, and Xingxia Show has no intention of permanently fixing this state.

The probability of mental illness is not small.

Star Show doesn't like this feeling of being out of control.

"I still feel like I don't have enough chakra..."

Xingxia Xiu sighed inwardly.

Hashirama's cells greatly enhanced his chakra level, which is the Yang Release power representing his physical body.

This is the key to the power of Wood Release.

Can Yamato's Wood Release absorb chakra?

I don't remember Xingxia Show.

It seems that it only reacts when faced with the Nine-Tails' chakra?

"Nine-Tails chakra, full of vitality, is the closest to the Ten-Tails' chakra."

"The Ten-Tails God Tree can definitely absorb chakra."

Xingxia Xiu pondered to herself.

The source of chakra comes from the Ten-Tails God Tree, and the source of bloodline limit can also be said to come from the Ten-Tails God Tree.

It's unknown whether Hashirama Senju's Wood Release can absorb chakra, especially ordinary Wood Release techniques.

But the Wood Dragon Technique should work.

At least according to Hoshino Shu, Madara Uchiha's Wood Dragon Technique can absorb the power of the Nine-Tails.

There's also the White Zetsu's Spore Technique, which can absorb chakra and then transfer it to others.

"It seems I need to delve deeper into the power of Wood Release, as well as the power of Hashirama's cells."

"Could we even collaborate with Orochimaru in the future?"

Hoshino Hide wondered if he could transform all the cells in his body into Hashirama cells.

Yamato's Wood Release is one kind of power, and White Zetsu's use of Yamato to display Wood Release is another kind of power.

Then there's Madara Uchiha, who transplanted Hashirama cells, creating yet another powerful technique.

Hideaki Hoshino's Wood Release is now arguably stronger than Yamato's, but only to a limited extent, far from reaching the level of White Zetsu and Madara Uchiha.

An hour later.

The Star Show ended and they took a break.

When he opened his eyes, the squad leaders, including Shimura Daichi, all looked over.

Nakamura said, "The Sky Ninja are still monitoring us. Their numbers have increased to over sixty, but they don't seem to have any intention of attacking."

Xingxia Xiu stood up: "Ten, leave three squads with me to cover the rear, the other squads retreat first."

"Let's retreat to the Land of Hot Springs and await Lord Danzo's orders."

Shimura Daichi and the others nodded in agreement.

A moment later, after making preparations, the twelve root squads began to retreat in an orderly manner.

Upon seeing this, Kong Ren immediately followed and kept a close watch, but showed no intention of attacking.

Soon, night fell, and Hoshino Hide and the others crossed the border and entered the Land of Hot Springs.

After deciding on the rest location.

Xingxia Xiu clasped her hands together to form the "巳" seal. In the next moment, vines and trees rose from the ground, forming wooden houses that arranged in a square shape.

Immediately following this were watchtowers and corner towers rising up.

On the outermost edge, a wooden wall rises up from the ground, forming a simple defense.

This scene left Shimura Daichi and the others in awe.

It's practically an essential ninja technique for ninjas going on camping trips.

On the other side of the Moon Kingdom's border, after discussing with several other Sky Ninja Jonin, Kozuki Taisei left six squads to keep watch before leading his men to retreat.

The village has been thrown into chaos after the leader was assassinated; we must return to stabilize the situation.

……

Leaf, root base.

Danzo took the note from his subordinate, opened it, and looked somewhat surprised.

The situation was indeed beyond his expectations.

The latest novel is first published here!

They actually assassinated the leader of the Sky Ninja!

What a pleasant surprise!

This situation gave Danzo an opportunity to eliminate the Sky Ninja.

With no leader and in a state of chaos, this is the best time to deal with the Sky Ninja!

Danzo immediately left the Root base with the intelligence.

It was already late at night, and even Hiruzen Sarutobi was already sleeping with his wife in his arms.

But Danzo managed to wake him up.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was also shocked when he learned about the situation with the Sky Ninja, but he quickly calmed down and weighed the pros and cons.

Just a moment later, under Danzo's expectant gaze, Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke up, "This is indeed a very good opportunity."

"However, the situation came too suddenly."

"It takes time to mobilize resources."

"Danzo, take a group of people and go to the Land of the Moon yourself. Make sure the Sky Ninja don't have time to reorganize their forces."

"Furthermore, have Sakumo lead his men across the Land of Hot Water to confront the Cloud Ninja at the border of the Land of the Moon. Make sure the Cloud Ninja don't interfere!"

"I will have Yan and Xiaochun lead reinforcements later. You will be in charge of the front lines then, and you must completely eliminate the Sky Ninja!"

By the end, Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice was filled with a chilling, murderous intent.

Danzo smiled and said, "Understood!"

……

Inside a wooden house in the Land of Hot Water.

Xingxia Xiu watched as the countdown in the status bar above her head slowly came to an end.

At midnight on October 12th, Konoha Year 36, the status was updated precisely on time.

"Hopefully this time it will be something normal, useful, and preferably related to ninjutsu."

Xingxia Xiu prayed silently, then looked at the new status.

Current status: Body of Steel

Note: From now on, you possess a body of steel; please use it with caution.

Refresh countdown: 167:59:57

"A body of steel"—is that just a literal meaning?

Xingxia Xiu couldn't help but pinch his left arm; it was rock hard, like pinching steel.

Is this... considered a Steel Release Kekkei Genkai?

I remember there's a Steel Release technique in the ninja world, according to Xingxia Xiu.

Could I start with this steel body and create a steel escape technique?

But how do we do it?

Xingxia Xiu couldn't help but frown.

Of the several states that have been experienced so far, only the "Swordsmanship Expert" state has been permanently fixed.

At that time, he had truly brought his swordsmanship to the expert level, completely mastering the swordsmanship skills brought by the [Swordsmanship Expert] state, thus solidifying this state and gaining additional swordsmanship expert-level talent.

The subsequent attempt to achieve two goals with one mind failed, but it did train the ability to multitask.

just.

Xingxia Xiu felt her body, but subjectively she didn't feel anything special.

Similar to the initial immortality, it's probably difficult to glean any information from it.

"However, the idea of ​​Steel Release should be correct."

Xingxia Xiu pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized something while looking at the annotations.

"Wait, why should we use it cautiously?"

"Could it be...?"

Xingxia Xiu's expression changed, and then he reached out and pinched the little head.

Hard as steel!
