The Hypnotist!

Chapter 51 The Hypnotist Master! (Please read further, vote, and give monthly tickets!)

Because Yakushi Nonou was training at Konoha Hospital, she was not in the team.

The three of them, including Hoshino, first arrived outside the Root base and met up with the team led by Shimura Daichi before heading out of Konoha Village.

They left Konoha Village.

Shimura Daichi then said to Hoshishita Hideyoshi, "A, this time the Anbu's target is a caravan, and there is a ninja in the caravan who chose to withdraw from the combat series after being injured."

"The secret service has confirmed that he used the caravan as cover to betray the village's intelligence. Moreover, there may be more to the story than meets the eye regarding the fact that all members of his squad were killed in battle back then."

Xingxia Xiu asked, "Making contact with forces outside the village while traveling with the caravan?"

Shimura Daichi nodded: "The Anbu wants to take down the outside forces that made contact with us, so we're just in case."

"That guy once had the potential to become a Jonin."

"Currently, the Anbu (secret police) are unsure exactly when he started betraying village information—whether it was after he was injured or before."

Xingxia Xiu listened and said calmly, "We'll know once we catch him!"

Shimura Daichi nodded, then said, "Lord Danzo's order is that you, Kagami, may freely use your Wood Release techniques."

Beneath the mask, Hoshino raised an eyebrow slightly and instantly understood that Danzo had confessed to Hiruzen Sarutobi and even reached an agreement to have him stay in Root for the time being.

It seems my previous analysis was correct.

Hideaki Hoshishita nodded to Daichi Shimura: "I understand!"

……

The group left the village, following behind a small secret service squad.

Meanwhile, the Anbu squad followed a merchant caravan that had come from Konoha.

This caravan also had hired Konoha ninjas for protection, and it seemed perfectly normal.

In two days, the caravan traveled from Konoha to the border of the Land of Fire.

During this period, they stopped in two major cities in the Land of Fire, where goods were constantly being transferred.

With the combined surveillance of the ANBU ninjas and Hoshino Hideaki's group, no one noticed anything amiss.

That night.

The border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain.

Inside the cabin, as midnight struck on October 19th, the status bar refreshed on time.

Xingxiaxiu immediately checked the permanently fixed status bar.

Unfortunately, he still only has the [Swordsmanship Expert] rank and has not yet obtained the Steel Body.

Clearly, the Vajra Body developed by Hoshino Shu based on the Earth Spear, an Earth Release ninjutsu, is not enough to solidify the [Iron Body].

Some regrets.

However, there were also gains. The indestructible body is also quite good. So far, Xingxia Xiu can complete the hardening of his entire body within three seconds.

Although this process still takes a relatively long time, it can proceed from the outside in.

If it's just skin hardening, it can be done instantly.

Putting aside her disappointment, Xingxia Xiu turned her gaze to the current status bar.

Current status: Hypnotist

Note: In this state, you possess master-level hypnotic talent. After hypnotizing someone, you can do whatever you want. Please use this with caution, especially with members of the opposite sex.

Refresh countdown: 167:57:57

Hypnosis!

Illusion?

Xingxia Xiu showed a slight hint of joy.

Illusion magic is definitely one of his biggest weaknesses; he only knows the basics of dispelling illusions and can't use them.

But what's with the annotation? Why emphasize the opposite sex?

It's unbearable to repair!

Am I the kind of despicable person who is "Star Under Show"?

Xingxia Xiu was a little angry, but she quickly cleared her mind and began to think about whether this state could bring her any additional benefits.

After all, even the best performance will be over in seven days.

Ideally, the state could be solidified during this period.

If not, one can use this to develop abilities such as "multitasking" and "indestructible body," and ninjutsu is also a gain.

In particular, in his current state as a "Hypnotist Master," he also possesses the added advantage of hypnotic talent.

but.

"A talent for hypnosis... It seems hypnosis is not the same as illusion..."

Hoshino Hide thought to himself, "Illusion should encompass hypnosis. However, whether it's an inclusion or a being included relationship, it has improved my illusion talent."

"Seven days... I hope the mission can be completed within seven days."

In the team, whether it was Inuzuka Ryo or Aburame Ryoma, they were all like him, not proficient in illusion magic, but only knew how to dispel it.

On Shimura Daichi's side...

After thinking for a moment, Hoshino stood up, went out and knocked on the door of the room where Shimura Daichi was resting.

"Please come in!"

Shimura Daichi's voice came through.

Xingxia Xiu pushed open the door and entered, sitting down before asking directly, "Ten, you should know illusion magic, right?"

Shimura Daichi paused for a moment, then nodded: "My illusion magic skills are only average, what's wrong?"

Xingxia Xiu was very satisfied with what he heard, and said, "I came to ask you for guidance. I hope you can pass on the illusion techniques you have mastered to me."

Shimura Daichi was stunned.

The latest novel is first published here!

Isn't this... a bit too presumptuous?

Looking at Shimura Daichi's expression, Hoshino frowned slightly: "What, you don't want to?"

"Ten, I am the person Danzo values ​​most, the sharpest blade in Danzo's hand."

"Lord Danzo's will is my will. When Lord Danzo is not here, my will is Lord Danzo's will."

"My strength is the strength of Lord Danzo, the strength of Root."

"And you are not only a member of the Root, but also from the Shimura clan."

Shimura Daichi's lips twitched as he listened.

I haven't even refused yet, why are you saying so much?

What you said makes a lot of sense.

"Teaching illusion techniques is no problem, but I only know two myself."

Shimura Daichi readily agreed without hesitation, his words flowing smoothly.

But he was unaware that he had actually been silently hypnotized by Xingxiaxiu.

The Naraku-sight Technique!

The art of Nirvana Abode!

These are two illusion techniques mastered by Shimura Daichi. The former is a C-rank technique that allows one to see the most terrifying scene in their heart.

The Nirvana Abode Technique is an A-level illusion technique capable of hypnotizing a large group of people.

Under hypnosis, Shimura Daichi spoke freely and without reservation.

Three hours later.

Having mastered two illusion techniques, Hoshino Hideyuki left Shimura Daichi's room.

Illusion magic doesn't seem that difficult!

Silent all night.

As the sun rose, after eating some rations and replenishing their fluids, Hoshino Hide and the others set off again, following behind the Anbu ninjas, and entered the Land of Rain.

It was already autumn, and the autumn rain in the Land of Rain was rather chilly.

Although they didn't bring raincoats, the members of Hoshino and his group, who were wearing hoodies, didn't get soaked.

Around noon, the caravan entered a small town in a rainy land.

Xingxia Xiu and her group settled in a cave outside the town.

However, after resting for less than half an hour, the Root ninjas responsible for monitoring the town hurriedly returned.

"Captain, the Anbu have made their move, but the situation is dire. Rain Ninja are involved, and they're surrounded!"

Shimura Daichi frowned upon hearing this, then subconsciously glanced at Hoshino Shu.

Hoshino Hideyoshi stood up: "Ten, go find the team escorting the caravan. I'll take some men to support the Anbu ninjas first."

"good!"

Shimura Daichi readily agreed.

This is the Land of Rain, the territory of the Rain Village. Since the Rain Ninja are involved, the most important and appropriate course of action is to concentrate all our forces and finish this battle quickly.

Shimura Daichi immediately set off to leave.

Hideya Hoshita then led Ryo Inuzuka and the others straight to the battlefield.

There's one more chapter, it'll be quite late, please forgive me!
