Chapter 68 Calling a Deer a Horse, the Test Begins! (Third Update, Please Subscribe and Vote)
Xingxia Xiu walked on air; although it was not as smooth as walking on flat ground, it was a brand new beginning.
Next, simply use the clones to gain experience. By controlling the airflow in the air, you can walk on flat ground and enter a new world.
Only after achieving this step can the third stage be developed, moving towards true flight.
As she landed again, Xingxia Xiu said excitedly, "Should we change the name? Simply calling me Wind Instant Body isn't quite right."
"How about we call it... Empty Step!"
After naming himself, Xingxia Xiu left two clones behind to continue training before leaping away.
Back at the Root base, it wasn't long before Ryo Inuzuka came to him: "Captain, this is the list of candidates for this year's Jonin Exams."
Xingxia Xiu reached out and took it, glanced at it, and then paused.
There are two familiar names.
Mimura Yoru.
Currently, he is a Special Jonin.
The other one is Yuhi Shinku, who is currently a Chunin.
Mimura Yomi had fought alongside him before, while Hoshino's earliest memory of him was as the commander of the Fire Country's border defense forces during the Third Shinobi World War.
Of course, it was a bit tragic; they were almost wiped out by the Iwa ninja.
It was Minato Namikaze's timely arrival that enabled the feat of annihilating more than fifty Iwa ninja in an instant.
As for Kurenai Yuhi, he is Kurenai Yuhi's father.
Looking at this name, Xingxia Xiu suddenly thought of many things.
Kakashi, Obito Uchiha, Rin Nohara, Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma Sarutobi, and Guy—these people were all born not long ago.
What will the future hold?
Suddenly, I have a lot more expectations for the future.
Because on the one hand, he knew the future, and on the other hand, he believed in himself and that he would definitely change the original future.
It's not that he deliberately wants to change, but because he exists.
After carefully putting away the list, Hoshino asked Inuzuka Ryo, "Any ideas about the new moves?"
Despite wearing a mask, Inuzuka Ryo still felt incredibly awkward: "Um... not yet."
Xingxia Xiu said, "There are many directions for new moves."
"Perception, teleportation, defense, attack."
"You might as well think about it from one direction at a time."
"How can you improve your tracking capabilities?"
Inuzuka Ryo fell into deep thought.
Hoshino gave an example: "For instance, in terms of perception, your Inuzuka clan has a naturally sensitive nose."
"Then to improve this ability, perhaps we can use Yang Release to enhance it."
Inuzuka Ryo nodded quickly, "I understand, Captain!"
Xingxia Xiu continued, "Here, no one is allowed to stand still or become the one who holds everyone back."
Inuzuka Ryo's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, then he gritted his teeth and said, "I can definitely do it!"
Xingxia Xiu remained noncommittal, saying, "Go ahead and inform the people on the list to gather at the entrance of the Death Forest at nine o'clock sharp tomorrow morning."
Inuzuka Ryo nodded and immediately turned to get busy.
After Inuzuka Ryo left, Hoshishita Hide took out the information on sealing techniques to study.
These materials were previously obtained from the Sky Ninja spies.
Sealing techniques are considered omnipotent in the ninja world.
Therefore, even though her learning was extremely slow, Xingxia Xiu gritted her teeth and persevered, bit by bit.
"Perhaps I could ask Tsunade for advice..."
With a thought flashing through his mind, Xingxia Xiu began to immerse himself deeply in the world of sealing techniques.
Time flies, and before we know it, a new day has arrived.
At midnight on November 8th, Konoha Year 36.
Xingxia Xiu looked at her refreshed status bar.
In that fixed spot, besides the [Swordsmanship Expert], there was also the [Immune to All Poisons].
"It's a success!"
Xingxia Xiu was overjoyed.
This means that from now on, he will ignore all highly toxic substances.
With a heart full of joy, Xingxiaxiu looked at the current situation.
Current state: Calling a deer a horse
Note: In this state, you can turn a deer into a horse.
Refresh countdown: 167:58:55
Star Show was stunned by the new status.
What does "calling a deer a horse" mean?
What's the point of turning a deer into a horse?
Is it going to be another useless state, just like the previous "sharp tongue" state?
Silently, Xingxia Xiu thought for a moment and immediately created a wooden clone from the root base.
……
In the deer-raising area of the Nara clan, Hoshino Shigehisa's figure appears.
He soon found a deer resting under a tree.
Calling a deer a horse!
Xingxia Xiu pointed, and the resting deer turned into a horse.
No flaws!
Used for transformation techniques?
The latest novel is first published here!
Xingxia Xiu shook his head inwardly, losing interest in the research.
……
Silent all night.
After the usual early morning training and a hearty meal, Hoshino Hide led Inuzuka Ryo and Aburame Ryoma to the entrance of the Forest of Death.
At 9 a.m., all six participants in the Jonin Exam arrived.
Wearing a mask, Xingxia Xiu glanced at the six people and said calmly, "I am the examiner for this assessment. As for who I am, you don't need to know."
"Furthermore, you may already know the direction and even the content of the assessment. But I must say, forget all that, and just do what I say!"
"Do you understand?"
Although they exchanged somewhat bewildered glances, Yuhi Shinku and the others responded in unison, "Understood!"
Xingxia Xiu leaped into the Death Forest: "Follow me!"
Yuhi Shinku and the others leaped up and followed.
After entering the Death Forest for some distance, Xingxia Xiu stopped on a thick tree branch.
Seeing that Yuhi Shinku and the others were following closely behind, Hoshino Hide said, "All of you come at me together, and attack me with the determination to kill me."
This……
Yuhi Shinku and the others hesitated.
Even Mimura Yomaki, who knew a part of Hoshishita Shu's strength, felt that Hoshishita Shu had overestimated himself.
All six of them now possess Jonin-level strength.
Xingxia Xiu said calmly, "Don't worry, I'm just a clone."
"However, you'd better go all out, or you'll be eliminated."
The six members of the group, including Shinku Yuhi, exchanged glances and then suddenly attacked in unison.
Mimura Yoru, who recognized Hoshino Shige, immediately warned, "Be careful, he's a Wood Release user!"
This reminder caused Kurenai Yuhi, who was forming hand seals, to pause in her movements.
At that moment, Inuzuka Ryo and Aburame Ryoma immediately retreated to become bystanders.
shhhhhh!
As the shuriken flew out, Xingxia Xiu raised one hand and laid down a vine, blocking the numerous shuriken.
But then, an examiner from the Akimichi clan slapped down with an enlarged, gigantic hand.
Meanwhile, Yuhi Shinku completed the hand seals.
Magic Tree Bind and Kill!
Behind Xingxia Xiu, a large tree rose from the ground, its vines binding his body.
The giant hand that slammed down brought a powerful, oppressive wind, causing hair to fly wildly.
This teamwork is undeniably excellent.
But just as it was about to land, two vines bound the descending giant hand, rendering it unable to move.
Kurenai Yuhi's expression changed: "She's completely unaffected by illusions!"
shhhhhh!
As the vines swept in, Kurenai Yuhi, Yoru Mimura (who was about to unleash a ninjutsu), Nara Utsumi of the Nara clan, and Sarutobi Shinichi of the Sarutobi clan were all forced to abandon their prepared attacks and dodges.
Just as the civil war broke out in the Forest of Death, in the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi was looking at a crystal ball, which clearly showed the scene of the assessment in the Forest of Death.
This was also the first time that Hiruzen Sarutobi had personally witnessed Hideaki Hoshino using Wood Release.
Facing six near-Jonin, yet appearing relaxed and at ease, reminded him of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.
Although it is far from the original, it seems to have already captured a bit of its charm.
