In the Forest of Death.
The first one to be held up by Hoshino was Nara Oval of the Nara clan, bound hand and foot and suspended in the air.
Immediately afterwards, his eyelids became heavy and he felt drowsy.
"Oh no, it's an illusion..."
Nara Otome realized what was happening, but was powerless to resist the overwhelming drowsiness. In the blink of an eye, she lowered her eyelids and fell into a deep sleep.
At that moment, Hoshino Hide, who had kicked Mimura Yoru away, raised one hand, and Nara Otome, who had just closed her eyes, immediately opened them again.
The Art of the Dream Walker!
As a specialist in illusion magic, Yuhi Shinku immediately sensed something was wrong: "Oh no, the ellipse is under illusion magic!"
He immediately abandoned his attack on Hoshino Hide and charged towards the Nara Oval with his sword.
Besides illusion magic, his physical skills and swordsmanship are also quite good.
But before he could arrive, Nara Oval had already landed, his hands forming a hand seal, his shadow coalescing into a single line that moved swiftly before splitting into two, each attacking Yuhi Shinku and the others.
"What kind of illusion is this?"
Kurenai Yuhi's expression changed drastically.
at the same time.
Inside the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the controlled Nara Otome with great surprise.
The ability to control people and use ninjutsu so skillfully is no simple feat of genjutsu.
Even the Sharingan, known for its genjutsu (illusionary techniques), cannot do this.
"It seems to be an illusion technique I developed myself, and its difficulty has probably reached S-rank."
Hiruzen Sarutobi speculated, then secretly praised, "What an outstanding child."
Such talent is not suited to stay at the grassroots level!
As Danzo's old comrade, how could he not know Danzo's little scheme?
The idea of using Wood Release to control the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is too extreme.
The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki requires more than just strong control.
Hiruzen Sarutobi hoped that the second Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails would be like Mito Uzumaki, able to perfectly suppress the Nine-Tails and utilize its power.
Rather than a dangerous weapon that could threaten one's own people at any time.
and so.
Love and bonds are the best way to control Jinchuriki.
Seeing that Shigehita Hide had captured Yuhi Shinku and the others one by one, Hiruzen Sarutobi had already made up his mind.
The Forest of Death.
The battle is over.
Including the Nara Oval, they were all hoisted up again and then controlled by the Heavenly Dream Walker's technique.
The real assessment will begin next.
Test loyalty!
Of course, the way to hold a show under the stars is very simple.
Under the control of the Dream Walker's Technique, through guidance, it is easy to uncover the deepest thoughts in the hearts of people like Yuhi Shinku.
If Hoshino Hidehisa wanted to, he could learn the secret techniques from Nara Utsugi and others, just like he could learn the Mind Transfer Technique.
However, Hoshino Hide believes that Hiruzen Sarutobi will most likely be spying on this Jonin exam from a distance.
So in the end, I just asked some standard questions about loyalty.
After all the questions were asked, Yuhi Shinku and the others had no questions.
Then, Hoshinobu dispelled the illusion and the Wood Release technique.
As Yuhi Shinku and the others slowly awoke, they were initially somewhat bewildered, before turning to Hoshino Shu with a complex expression, who was wearing a mask that obscured his true face.
They lost all their memories after being hypnotized, but they retained their memories from before the hypnosis.
I also witnessed the initial situation of the Nara Oval being controlled by illusion magic.
The Wood Release Messenger, no wonder he has a bounty of 36 million taels.
Horror!
These Jonin are nothing special.
……
"Congratulations on passing the final test."
Hoshinobu announced calmly, "You may now return to the Hokage Building and report to the Third Hokage!"
Yuhi Shinku and the others nodded in agreement: "Understood!"
After bowing respectfully, the six of them leaped into the air and disappeared.
At this moment, Ryo Inuzuka and Ryoma Aburame stepped forward.
"Captain, your illusions are even more terrifying now."
Inuzuka Ryo couldn't help but sigh.
Aburame Ryoma said, "It should have reached S-rank by now, right?"
Xingxia Xiu nodded slightly.
When it was first developed, it was only Grade A.
However, by absorbing some of the advantages through the Mind Turning Technique and enhancing the speed and precision of deep hypnosis, the difficulty increased dramatically, indeed reaching S-level.
but.
In Xingxiaxiu's opinion, this is not the complete version of the Heavenly Dream Walker Technique.
If I had a pair of Sharingan.
To be precise, it's the three-tomoe Sharingan. So, without needing to form hand seals, after further enhancement, a single glare from the eyes can instantly control the enemy.
……
Upon returning to the Root base, Hoshino immediately went to see Danzo.
"A, how are those guys doing?"
Danzo asked.
Hoshita Hide respectfully replied, "Lord Danzo, their loyalty is beyond question."
"However, their thinking is too conservative and not suitable for us."
Danzo nodded slightly, showing no disappointment, and then said, "Starting tomorrow, you will lead a team to cooperate with the Hokage's direct ANBU and be responsible for protecting the safety of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."
"You must show utmost respect to Lord Mito!"
Xingxia Xiu quickly lowered his head: "Understood, subordinate!"
……
Back at his residence, Hoshino was still pondering the issue of the tailed beasts.
He coveted the power of the Nine-Tails.
Unfortunately, I don't have the chance to get it now.
Are we just waiting for the Nine-Tails to wreak havoc?
"However, if we want to utilize the power of the Nine-Tails, we must have the corresponding methods."
"The Ming Shen Sect requires immortal techniques; where can they learn them?"
Under the stars, Xiu pondered.
Of the three sacred sites, Ryuchi Cave is the only choice.
Mount Myōboku can be reached through Jiraiya, but as for the relationship, let's just think about it and move on.
Shikkulin...
"So, we still have to take down Tsunade!"
Xingxia Xiu immediately pulled out the information on sealing techniques.
However, before going to find Tsunade, he went to see Danzo and reported his actions of getting close to and winning over Tsunade.
Danzo is extremely suspicious; one must constantly demonstrate loyalty to him.
Of course, asking Tsunade for sealing techniques was not only to enhance their relationship and bring them closer, but also because sealing techniques were indeed somewhat difficult for Hoshino Shu to master.
……
Konoha Hospital.
Hideaki Hoshino found Tsunade, who was studying the case.
Seeing Hoshinoshita approach, Tsunade frowned: "Are we going to prepare poison again?"
Xingxia Xiu laughed and said, "Of course not, a hundred kinds of common poisons are enough."
"I've come here today to ask you about sealing techniques."
Tsunade was somewhat surprised: "Sealing technique?"
Could it be for the Nine-Tails?
Tsunade instinctively had an answer in mind, then nodded: "I still have work to do, let my clone answer your question!"
Xingxia Xiu smiled and said, "Thank you!"
Tsunade said lazily, "Treat me to a drink tonight!"
Xingxia Xiu readily agreed: "No problem!"
Love can grow over time; that's just how it is.
Not only did Hoshino Shigeaki drink with Tsunade in the evening, but they also had lunch together.
With Tsunade's guidance, learning sealing techniques became much smoother.
The latest novel is first published here!
Back at his residence that evening, after organizing his studies on sealing techniques, Xingxia Xiu reassessed his own strength.
Wood Release is currently the strongest technique.
Secondly, Wind Release. Although the Wind Release: Rasengan has not been fully developed, its suicidal attack is top-notch.
Swordsmanship, dual-sword style, combined with Wind Flicker and Sky Step, is at an intermediate level among Jonin.
Earth Release: Earth Spear, and its upgraded version, Indestructible Vajra, can ignore most physical attacks, except for Lightning Release.
Illusion, a technique of the Dream Walker, S-rank.
Rasengan, a close-combat, A-rank ninjutsu without hand seals.
In addition, there is the powerful self-healing ability provided by the interstitial cells.
Looking at these abilities, they are already quite comprehensive.
If we're talking about shortcomings, there's only one aspect left.
Perception!
"Perception... I'm not sure if I have a talent for perception, but I think... I probably do?"
"No matter what, we have to give it a try."
Hoshino Hide thought to himself, "But I need an opportunity to acquire sensory ninjutsu."
After a moment's thought, he summarized his own experience.
Elite Jonin, but still considered a regular ninja.
We're still quite far from those cheaters.
Although Xingxia Xiu himself is a cheater, his status bar is too unstable.
You never know how bizarre the status update will be.
……
Nothing happened that night, and the next morning at nine o'clock.
Hideki Hoshita appeared outside the Senju family home with Ryo Inuzuka and Ryoma Aburame.
As soon as they arrived, an ANBU ninja wearing a tiger-face mask appeared in front of the three.
"A, please follow me!"
As he spoke, the ANBU ninja led the way.
Xingxia Xiu and the other two immediately followed.
Xingxia Xiu is no stranger to the ancestral home of the Senju family.
But they never ventured into the depths.
They continued deeper and deeper, finally arriving in front of Mito Uzumaki.
"Mito-sama!"
Hoshita Hide, accompanied by Inuzuka Ryo and Aburame Ryoma, knelt down on one knee to pay their respects.
Though beauty fades with age, Mito Uzumaki is incredibly old, but her gentle smile still possesses a unique charm.
Her gaze swept over the three men, finally settling on Xingxia Xiu. Her eyes seemed to pierce through his mask, landing on his face: "You are all good children. I will have to trouble you with this matter from now on."
Hoshita Hide immediately replied, "Lord Mito, this is what we should do."
Mito Uzumaki nodded slightly and smiled, "Go!"
Xingxia Xiu and the others immediately withdrew.
Inside the courtyard, the tiger-faced ANBU ninja said, "A, you can call me Big Tiger."
"There are a total of three secret squads here responsible for Lady Mito's safety, one overt and two covert."
"The rotation schedule is uncertain and is decided on a temporary basis."
"Starting today, your team will also be a rotating team. However, you'll have to work hard and stay here for the next period of time."
Xingxia Xiu nodded solemnly: "I have no problem."
He knew that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was going to be replaced.
And it's impossible to wait until Mito Uzumaki is completely exhausted before replacing him.
It was necessary to take advantage of Mito Uzumaki's remaining strength in order to safely release the Nine-Tails, suppress it, and reseal it into Kushina Uzumaki's body.
However, this also means that when the Nine-Tails changes its jinchūriki, it will also be the time when Mito Uzumaki's life comes to an end.
……
Next, Xingxia Xiu got to know the other guard ANBU ninjas through the tiger-faced ANBU ninja.
Of course, this only applies to code names.
After understanding the operating mechanism, Xingxia Xiu and his two companions hid nearby.
The show under the stars is seamlessly integrated into the wooden cabin.
Before concealing himself, Aburame Ryoma scattered many insects throughout the Senju family mansion.
Inuzuka Ryo hid himself, while the ninja beast Black Ball openly became the guard dog.
It was evening.
Shigehisa met Kushina Uzumaki for the first time.
He had red hair and his eyes were filled with fear and unease.
She already knew her fate.
As Hoshishita Hide was lost in thought, he heard Uzumaki Mito's voice: "Kou!"
"Mito-sama!"
Xingxia Xiu's figure rose from under the floor.
Kushina Uzumaki, perched on Mito Uzumaki's lap, curiously observed Shu Hoshino.
"A, from now on, you're responsible for her safety!"
"If possible, teach her some things too!"
Mito Uzumaki spoke with a smile.
Hoshino was quite surprised. Was he going to make Kushina Uzumaki become his apprentice?
The thought flashed through his mind, and Hoshino Hide immediately replied, "Yes, Lord Mito."
"However, I will leave a wood clone by your side, Master. Please rest assured, Master, I have enough chakra."
Mito Uzumaki smiled and nodded, "That's very thoughtful. Let's do it that way!"
Xingxia Xiu bowed deeply, then his figure sank and disappeared.
……
An hour later, Kushina Uzumaki emerged from Mito Uzumaki's bedroom.
Xingxia Xiu immediately appeared behind her: "Let's go!"
The two left the Thousand Hands Ancestral House one after the other.
Kushina Uzumaki walked ahead, her head bowed, her back view appearing incredibly lonely.
"At the age of ten or so, they have to endure the most terrible malice... What a twisted world!"
A silent sigh escaped her beautiful hair beneath the stars.
Although he really wanted to say to Hiruzen Sarutobi, Mito Uzumaki, and the others: Let go of that girl, let me handle it.
Unfortunately, their strength is still insufficient!
