Hoshino followed Kushina Uzumaki until they arrived at her house.

Kushina Uzumaki's house is large, but unfortunately, she lives alone, so there is no warmth to it.

Instead of following him into the house, Xingxia Xiu leaped to the bedroom window.

Looking into the bedroom, Xingxia Xiu suddenly felt that this scene seemed a little familiar.

"When Kushina was pregnant, Kakashi was probably just standing outside eating dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), right?"

"So, maybe the dog's head is carved on the earthen wall because of this."

Xingxia Xiu secretly grumbled to herself.

A moment later, Kushina Uzumaki, having finished washing up, appeared in the bedroom, lay on the bed, and turned her back to the window.

Xingxia Xiu did not disturb them.

"that……"

Suddenly, Kushina Uzumaki's voice came through.

Xingxia Xiu turned around: "You can call me Jia!"

Kushina Uzumaki looked at the somewhat frightening oni mask and said, "Senior Kou... do you know about that thing?"

Xingxia Xiu's voice was calm: "You mean the Nine-Tails?"

"Of course I know. It's one of the nine tailed beasts in the ninja world, and also the strongest one."

Kushina Uzumaki asked nervously, "Are you afraid of it?"

"That kind of monster must be terrifying!"

With a slight smile, Xingxia Xiu said, "If he dares to show his face in front of me, I'll beat him up first to teach him a lesson."

"what?"

Kushina Uzumaki was quite surprised.

The person in front of me, whom Mito-sama described as trustworthy, certainly seemed different from the others.

But can the Nine-Tails, which is so powerful, really defeat it?

Hoshino's voice rang out at the opportune moment: "You should know that I am a Wood Release user; you should be familiar with Wood Release techniques, right?"

Kushina Uzumaki's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but sit up on the bed, looking at Hoshino Shu outside: "Senior Kou, you're the Wood Release user that the village ninjas have been talking about lately!"

"That's amazing!"

Hoshino Hide laughed, "So-so, third in Konoha!"

Kushina Uzumaki couldn't help but laugh: "Kou-senpai is too arrogant!"

"The village must have had many very powerful predecessors!"

Xingxia Xiu said, "I'm still young. When they're all too old to move, I'll naturally be third."

Kushina Uzumaki couldn't help but burst into laughter, but quickly covered her mouth, unable to suppress the sound: "Hehehe... So who's first and second?"

Hoshino Shuu said seriously and earnestly, "Of course, it's the Third Hokage and Lord Danzo!"

Kushina Uzumaki couldn't help but chuckle again: "Kou-senpai, you're too..."

Sensing Hoshino's kindness, Kushina Uzumaki grew a little bolder and asked, "By the way, Lady Mito said that Senior Kou would teach me something. Is it a Wood Release technique?"

Hoshino Hide laughed and said, "If you'd like, I can certainly teach you."

"However, if you want to master the Wood Release technique, you must first master the nature transformations of Earth Release and Water Release."

Kushina Uzumaki exclaimed in surprise, "It's this troublesome!"

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "Because it is a new property change formed by the fusion of two property changes."

"However, I have a ninjutsu here that is very suitable for fighting tailed beasts, and I can teach it to you."

"This is much easier to learn than the Wood Release technique."

Kushina Uzumaki asked curiously, "Really?"

"Could it be a ninjutsu even more powerful than the Wood Release technique?"

As she spoke, she got off the bed, walked barefoot to the window, opened it, and sat down by the window.

Hoshino Hide sat cross-legged opposite him and said with a smile, "Whether a ninjutsu is powerful or not depends not on the ninjutsu itself, but on the ninja who uses it."

"Although I also possess the Wood Release technique, I am far inferior to the First Hokage."

Kushina Uzumaki listened thoughtfully, then nodded emphatically: "I've got it!"

Hoshino smiled, then opened her right palm, and under Kushina's gaze, a Rasengan rapidly condensed.

The air currents swirled, blowing up Kushina's red hair.

At that moment, Kushina Uzumaki's eyes were glued to the Rasengan, and she exclaimed with her mouth agape, "That's amazing!"

At this moment, the Rasengan was only the size of a baby's fist, but as Hoshino Shu continuously poured chakra into it, its size immediately expanded, and its light illuminated the surroundings.

Xingxia Xiu said, "You see, the strength of this technique depends on the user."

"The stronger your control over chakra, the stronger your own chakra, the more powerful this technique will be; you could say there is no upper limit."

"Or rather, the upper limit of this technique's power lies in the upper limit of human ability!"

Kushina Uzumaki was a little nervous and unsure: "Senior, this... I... can I really learn it?"

Hoshita Hideaki dismissed the Rasengan and said with absolute certainty, "Of course."

"Don't underestimate yourself."

"Moreover, the one who will teach you is the third strongest in Konoha!"

Kushina Uzumaki nodded emphatically, her eyes filled with confidence: "Yes!"

"Shall we begin now?"

Kushina Uzumaki was getting impatient.

Hoshino Hideichi shrugged: "It's not possible now. We need to prepare some auxiliary items first."

"Go back to sleep now. When you wake up tomorrow, your cultivation can begin."

Kushina Uzumaki said somewhat disappointedly, "We have to wait until tomorrow..."

"All right!"

Kushina Uzumaki quickly perked up: "I'm going to sleep now, and tomorrow I'll start training the ninjutsu that can defeat that guy!"

As she spoke, Kushina Uzumaki got up and walked towards the bed, but quickly stopped, turning back to look at Shu Hoshita: "Kou-senpai, will you always be here?"

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "Of course!"

"Thanks!"

Kushina Uzumaki smiled, then went back to bed, closed her eyes, and quickly fell asleep.

Xingxia Xiu gently closed the window, then got up and looked to her left.

"I didn't expect you to be so good at comforting kids!"

Tsunade emerged from the darkness.

Xingxia Xiu raised his hand to form a hand seal, and a wooden clone emerged from his back.

The clone remained outside the window, while Hoshino and Tsunade leaped onto the roof.

"Why are you here?"

Xingxia Xiu joked, "Don't you trust me?"

Tsunade scoffed, "You're too radical!"

Xingxia Xiu chuckled and said, "You can't blame me for this; you should blame the world."

"This world..."

Tsunade paused for a moment, then asked, "Did you develop that ninjutsu?"

Hoshino nodded: "It was an unintentional inspiration, called Rasengan. Of course, you can also add a nature transformation."

Tsunade commented, "A very powerful ninjutsu. The lack of hand seals combined with the amazing form transformation makes it at least an A-rank."

After saying that, she took out a scroll: "Hey, this is what my grandmother asked me to give you."

"Mito-sama?"

Surprised, Xingxia Xiu reached out and took the scroll, asking curiously, "Could it be a sealing technique?"

Tsunade's eyes held a hint of a smile: "You'll see when you see it. In any case, it shouldn't disappoint you."

When Xingxiaxiu opened the app, her breath hitched slightly.

Magical arts!

The latest novel is first published here!

Yes, it's the Sage Mode training experience left behind by Hashirama Senju.

Xingxia Show never expected this.

Tsunade said, "It seems you know about Sage Mode, so I don't need to explain it further."

"However, while immortal techniques are powerful, they are extremely difficult to cultivate."

"At least I haven't succeeded in cultivating it yet."

"Not only that, cultivating immortal arts is also extremely dangerous. One wrong move and you can be corrupted by natural energy, become a part of nature, and then die."

As she spoke, Tsunade said solemnly, "This is what my grandmother asked me to give you after you came to my house last time."

"I just haven't given it to you yet because this thing is very dangerous."

"However, if you can learn this, you should be even more......"

Xingxia Xiu solemnly put away the scroll and said earnestly, "Thank you."

"I will personally thank Lady Mito as well."

Tsunade didn't care at all: "Do as you please."

"However, it's best if someone is around when you're cultivating, so they can interrupt you if you lose control."

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "Cloning shouldn't be a problem."

"Of course, if you have time, Tsunade, could you please help me?"

If you don't seize this opportunity to build a relationship, you'll have lived in vain.

Tsunade glanced at Hoshino Hide and said calmly, "For things like this, you need to find someone you absolutely trust!"

Xingxia Xiu immediately replied, "There are three people in the village whom I absolutely trust."

"The Third Hokage, Danzo, and you, Tsunade!"

Flirting with girls is fine, but your public image can't be ruined.

Tsunade snorted softly, then vanished from her spot, leaving behind only the words, "I'll talk to you when I have time."

Beneath the mask, Xingxia Xiu revealed a smile.

He's tough on the outside, but soft on the inside.

……

Under the moonlight, Xingxia Xiu reopened the scroll and read it carefully.

It retains Hashirama Senju's style, with simple and unadorned annotations.

However, even the simplest methods of cultivating immortal arts still seem somewhat mystical.

In summary, it's about calmly feeling the energy of nature.

Only when you have felt the energy of nature are you qualified to take the next step.

Of course, Hashirama Senju also provides a reminder within the scroll.

A type of mucus found in Shikkut Forest can help sense natural energy.

Hoshino guessed that it was the slug sage's secretion of mucus, similar to the toad oil from Mount Myōboku.

The most dangerous step is the second one: absorbing natural energy.

This process requires maintaining a balance; if there is an excess, the natural energy will erode and degrade the body.

Therefore, the greater one's chakra, the lower the danger.

Because the human body is insignificant compared to the vast natural energy of the natural world.

Even if you only absorb a little bit, the amount is still quite large.

Especially in the very beginning, it is impossible to control the amount of natural energy absorbed.

However, if this step is handled well, then the cultivation of immortal techniques can be considered complete.

……

After watching it several times, Xingxiaxiu put away the reel.

"Now is not the time to cultivate. We'll try again after this mission is over."

Hoshino Hide thought to herself, "With the help of the slime from the Shikkotsu Forest, it should be much faster. Tsunade should provide it, right?"

Mito Uzumaki gave him the Sage Mode scroll voluntarily, mainly because she could sense that he meant him no harm.

Secondly, there are the intercolumnar cells.

Then, it should also be related to Kushina Uzumaki, and Tsunade herself.

Mito Uzumaki may also be making final arrangements.

After all, individual interests and village interests are often not aligned.

Mito Uzumaki should have a deep understanding of this.

"This woman is not only scarred by the years, but also by the torrents of this mundane world."

"She was once the princess of the Land of Whirlpools, and as the most powerful Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts, she had to watch helplessly as her homeland was destroyed. Who can understand such pain?"

Hoshino sighed inwardly, "She is no longer the princess of the Land of Whirlpools, but the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha, the wife of the First Hokage of Konoha. She is no longer herself."

"I absolutely cannot fall into that situation again... so I need not only sufficient strength, but also an unfettered heart!"

"What bonds? Bullshit!"

"I'm sincere and genuine with everyone, but I love myself even more!"

Money is precious, love is even more valuable, but for freedom, everything else can be abandoned!

"How should we plan against the Nine-Tails?"

"If the Nine-Tails isn't working out for now, the Zero-Tails still needs nurturing... So, how about we take a look at the Dragon Vein first?"

Xingxia Xiu thought to himself, "However, I need to learn sealing techniques properly."

"Or bring along an assistant skilled in sealing techniques."

For example, Kushina Uzumaki!

Tsunade certainly knew sealing techniques, but Kushina Uzumaki became more proficient as she grew up.

"Looks like I really need to train Kushina properly!"
