"Thirty-six million taels, so-so."

Having just finished reporting to Danzo, Hoshino was informed that he had a bounty on his head.

The party offering the bounty is most likely the Sand Ninja who suffered heavy losses yesterday.

It must be said that the Sand Ninja are extremely efficient.

And there's the Wood Release user... The Sand Village's nickname-giving skills really need improvement!

Xingxiaxiu secretly complained.

Danzo said in a deep voice, "Three days from now, a group of Chunin will be promoted to Jonin. Root is the final link in the assessment process, so you will be in charge!"

In charge of the assessment for Jonin promotion?

Xingxia Xiu was startled.

He himself still holds the title of Chunin!

Thinking to himself, Hoshino asked aloud, "Lord Danzo, what is the final test?"

Danzo said calmly, "Loyalty!"

"The Will of Fire!"

"Make good use of your illusionary abilities!"

Xingxia Xiu's eye twitched almost imperceptibly, and she immediately lowered her head slightly: "Yes, I understand!"

……

Emerging from Danzo's office, Hoshishita Hide couldn't help but think to himself, "It seems Danzo knows about my hypnotic abilities. Is it Inuzuka Ryo or Aburame Ryoma?"

"Never mind, it doesn't matter who it is."

"In Konoha, my trump card has never been a particular ninjutsu."

"However, Danzo is really not very magnanimous. He is definitely not a good boss."

"If they feel threatened, they would probably eliminate me without hesitation."

Hoshino couldn't help but think of Yakushi Nonou and Yakushi Kabuto.

but.

"Lord Danzo, I am your most loyal and capable subordinate!"

"You wouldn't be thinking of getting rid of me, would you?"

Back at his residence, Xingxia Xiu recently revealed a wicked smile, beneath which lay a rebellious spirit.

……

The Hokage's office.

Danzo explained the situation of the mission to the Land of Hidekaze under the stars to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi could not possibly be unaware of the bounty on the Wood Release envoy.

Such a publicly announced bounty would quickly spread not only to Hiruzen Sarutobi, but also to the ordinary ninja community of Konoha.

Especially at the Jonin level.

After learning about Hoshino Shu's achievements, Hiruzen Sarutobi's evaluation of Hoshino Shu rose to a new level.

After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Once this Jonin Exam is over, let him go to Lady Mito's place!"

Although he had made such preparations long ago and planned to have Hoshino Shigehisa become a spy, Danzo still felt somewhat uncomfortable seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi openly trying to steal people.

Naruto!

Danzo nodded, but his ambition swelled even more.

Once you become Hokage, no one can take away the talents you've trained.

Once he becomes Hokage, no one can betray him!

……

Inside an izakaya (Japanese pub) in Konoha.

Jiraiya, accompanied by Minato Namikaze, was drinking with Tsunade and Orochimaru.

There are other Konoha ninjas in the shop as well.

Suddenly someone said, "Did you know that someone has put a bounty of 36 million taels of silver on a Wood Release user?"

"Wood Release? The First Hokage's Wood Release secret technique?"

"Wasn't that experiment a failed attempt and then shelved?"

……

Hearing the conversation, Jiraiya, who was chatting idly, couldn't help but ask Tsunade and Orochimaru, "Do you know about the bounty on the Wood Release user?"

"Seriously, that old man really kept it well hidden!"

Tsunade pursed her lips, but the image of Hoshino Shigehisa couldn't help but appear in her mind.

Seeing Tsunade's expression, Orochimaru couldn't help but ask, "Tsunade, it seems you already knew!"

Jiraiya looked at Tsunade in surprise upon hearing this.

Minato Namikaze, who had been silent until now, also looked over.

That's a Wood Release technique!

Tsunade hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Although I know, since the teacher hasn't announced it, it's still a secret."

Jiraiya's eyes darted around: "Could this be someone we all know?"

Tsunade glanced at Minato Namikaze.

Jiraiya suddenly realized: "Don't you recognize Minato?"

Touching his chin, Jiraiya felt a slight headache coming on: "This is really hard to guess."

……

As evening fell, Tsunade, reeking of alcohol, had just returned home when a voice rang in her ears.

"Sister, sister, is it true that someone in the village has mastered the Wood Release technique?"

Tsunade turned her head and looked at her younger brother who was running towards her excitedly. She immediately reached out and pressed her hand against his forehead: "Where did you hear this news from?"

Rope Tree quickly replied, "The whole village has heard about the bounty."

"Sister, is it true?"

Tsunade nodded.

Nawaki's eyes immediately lit up, and she eagerly asked, "Sister, I'm graduating soon. Can I ask the Wood Release user to be my mentor?"

"Once I master the Wood Release technique, I'll definitely become Hokage!"

Make that guy Rope Tree's teacher?

Tsunade paused for a moment, feeling a little tempted.

But then he remembered that Hoshino was a member of the genbu ninja clan, and immediately rejected the idea.

She disliked Danzo, who was always radical, and Hoshino Shu's style of doing things was exactly the same as Danzo's.

She certainly didn't want her younger brother to become a ninja like that.

Tsunade then said, "The identity of the Wood Release user is a secret, and it's impossible for him to be your mentor."

Rope Tree looked utterly disappointed upon hearing this.

But then he smiled and said passionately, "Even without Wood Release, I will definitely become Hokage!"

"The Fourth Hokage is my older sister, and the Fifth Hokage is me!"

Tsunade leaned down, poked her younger brother's cheek with her finger, and laughed, "Becoming Hokage requires a lot of hard work!"

Rope Tree immediately nodded repeatedly: "Yes!"

"Then, sister, will you train with me?"

……

When Xingxia Xiu woke up, it was already evening. He left the Root base and went to Konoha's most bustling food street to fill his stomach. He didn't expect that in such a short time, the Wood Release user had become the subject of discussion among the Konoha ninjas.

Xingxia Show has to admit, he's a hit!

Unfortunately, despite his nickname being "Fire," nobody actually knows him!

The song from the Ninja World version is popular, but the singer isn't.

After a satisfying meal, Xingxia Xiu strolled along the bustling streets, her eyes wandering aimlessly, but her mind was on the status bar.

How can it be solidified to be impervious to all poisons?

Xingxia Xiu couldn't help but look at the only fixed state again.

Knife skills expert.

The reason I was able to solidify this state was because I practiced swordsmanship in this state, which was equivalent to realizing my talent.

The state is bestowed, but the swordsmanship one cultivates is one's own...

"So, I should develop a type of ninjutsu that uses highly poisonous substances?"

"A ninjutsu that makes one immune to all poisons?"

"Poison-based ninjutsu..."

Xingxia Xiu thought of Shizune's ninjutsu that could spew poison gas.

"Looks like I'll have to find someone knowledgeable to consult..."

Hoshino Hideaki knows how to use poison, but he has no idea how to develop ninjutsu with highly toxic ingredients.

Then he thought of someone.

Tsunade!

The latest novel is first published here!

"Isn't it a bit too late to come now?"

Looking up at the moon hanging high in the sky, Xingxia Xiu leaped into the air.

He doesn't have much time and can't afford to waste any more.

……

The ancestral home of the Thousand Hands family.

When Hoshino arrived, Tsunade was beating her younger brother with one hand.

It has to be said that they are still training at this time, which is very hard work.

Seeing her younger brother collapse on the ground from exhaustion, Tsunade clapped her hands and said, "That's enough for today. You've made great progress."

"Go back and take a shower, then go and keep Grandma company."

Rope Tree listlessly got up: "I understand."

"But sister, when will I be as strong as you?"

Tsunade smiled and said, "When you get to my age."

Rope Tree was immediately filled with longing: "Then I want to grow up quickly!"

His silly appearance almost made Xingxiaxiu laugh.

After Nawaki left, Hoshishita Hide emerged from the darkness: "Tsunade!"

Tsunade had already spotted him. Turning around, she crossed her arms and asked, "What brings you here?"

Xingxia Xiu got straight to the point: "I have a question about ninjutsu that I'd like to ask you."

Tsunade listened with confusion: "About ninjutsu?"

"I remember you are skilled in Wind Release and swordsmanship, but I have no way to teach you those."

Suddenly remembering something, Tsunade asked again, "Do you want to learn medical ninjutsu?"

Xingxia Xiu laughed and said, "No."

"I wanted to ask you about toxicology."

Tsunade was quite surprised: "Poison?"

Hoshino Shigehisa nodded: "Those Sand Ninja guys love using poison too much."

The reason is perfect!

Tsunade nodded: "Puppet masters do indeed have a lot of research on poison."

"So, you want to learn how to prepare an antidote?"

Hoshino Hide shook his head: "No, I wanted to ask you how to develop a ninjutsu that uses poison."

Tsunade was surprised again upon hearing this.

I find the behavior of the Star Show completely unpredictable.

However, she didn't ask any more questions and nodded, "No problem, come with me!"

Inside the study.

Tsunade took out the scrolls one by one and placed them on the table in front of Hoshino Hide: "These are research materials on highly poisonous substances."

"To develop poison ninjutsu, you first need to understand various poisons so that you can use chakra to create toxins."

"Of course, you can use something simpler."

"To launch a specially prepared deadly poison using concealed weapons."

Xingxia Xiu decisively chose the first option.

The second one, without even thinking, is definitely impossible to solidify into "immunity to all poisons".

Xingxia Xiu quickly opened the scroll and began browsing its contents.

He himself has a solid foundation in poisons, which is one of the essential components of root training.

Of course, she can't compare to a professional like Tsunade at all.

Before, Xingxia Xiu only knew how to identify highly toxic substances, how to prepare them, and how to use them.

Moreover, you need to know the recipe to know how to prepare it.

But Tsunade has done in-depth research on toxins.

It is possible to analyze a previously unseen highly toxic substance and then formulate an antidote.

You should know that there are all sorts of deadly poisons in the ninja world.

Ninjas skilled in using poison often concoct their own poisons, and the recipes are known only to themselves.

It's easy to imagine how difficult it would be to crack.

Therefore, it is not easy to use chakra to create a deadly poison.

Especially those with high toxicity.

What type of transformation does poison-based ninjutsu belong to?

The list goes on and on!

Water Release, Earth Release, Yang Release, and Yin Release are all acceptable.

Even combined ninjutsu.

Therefore, poison-based ninjutsu is very complex.

No one who isn't a professional would bother to study it.

It's much more convenient to use pre-prepared potent poison or to directly install hidden mechanisms and weapons.

While looking at the information, Hoshino listened to Tsunade's explanation.

Suddenly, Tsunade asked, "You want to develop ninjutsu based on highly poisonous substances to deal with them, so shouldn't you be developing it in the direction of developing antidotes to highly poisonous substances?"

Upon hearing this, Xingxia Xiu immediately gave a thumbs up.

Tsunade slightly raised her chin, her expression a little arrogant, but then she became serious: "As for toxic antibodies, there are different ways to obtain them."

"For example, if one can create various poisons using chakra, then one's own poison resistance will naturally be high."

At this point, Tsunade said meaningfully, "For example, Wood Release."

Does Wood Release have poison resistance?

Xingxia Xiu paused for a moment, then thought of the Flower Tree World's Birth Technique.

However, both he and the Yamato he remembered had been poisoned.

He is a wood clone.

And Yamato is Yakushi Kabuto.

However, the plant-based ones are highly poisonous and are made using the Wood Release technique.

Very reasonable!

"As expected, there's still a lot of room for development in Wood Release, and it's not just a matter of chakra reserves..."

Hoshino Hide muttered to himself, then gestured for Tsunade to continue.

Tsunade continued, "The second method is poisoning, followed by detoxification, but allowing trace amounts of toxicity to remain in the body, eventually leading to the development of antibodies against the toxicity."

"Or combining the two methods would be faster and more effective."

Upon hearing this, Xingxia Xiu immediately paused, completely stunned.
