Talent Tree Ninja: I Can Upgrade My Abilities

In the forest, Mato led three teams forward at high speed. Their mission was to detect the guard situation at the border of Konoha in order to determine the direction of attack.

And this task is obviously the same whether it is completed by the clone or the original body.

So even though there are flying ninja beasts watching over his head, he doesn't care too much now.

In this way, they can just lure the people from Konoha over, allowing the clone to take the opportunity to complete the mission.

Therefore, no matter which side attracts the enemy's attention, it will be beneficial for the time being.

"Captain, there are two people ahead!"

Suddenly, a perceptive ninja spoke.

"Only two?"

Mato asked hurriedly.

The sensing ninja nodded: "I only sensed two different chakras!"

Mato said: "Did the Ninja Beast just happen to lock onto our main body?"

"Prepare for battle, and a quick victory!"

Many Suna Ninjas responded in unison: "Understood!"

Kunai in hand, ninja sword drawn, full of murderous intent.

Soon, two figures in front came into view.

Mato's pupils suddenly dilated, and his heart beat violently, with cold sweat on his forehead: "It's this guy..."

"This is a big trouble!"

He quickly ordered: "Stop!"

The team stopped and everyone looked at Mato in confusion.

Mato looked serious: "Everyone, please pay attention. The kid on the opposite side is very powerful."

"That guy once fought against the Third Kazekage without losing."

Many Suna Ninjas were shocked when they heard this, and immediately understood who the person opposite them was.

"The bounty-bearing Konoha genius, Hoshita Shuichi?"

"No wonder two people dared to intercept our three teams!"

"But, Mato, I remember that the ones we fought were all shadow clones, right?"

A Sand jonin said.

Mato nodded: "That being said, you should understand what this means."

"Besides, the Fourth Kazekage and Pakura are both very wary of him!"

Looking at the stopped Suna Ninja, Hoshita Shuichi smiled: "I didn't expect to meet an acquaintance."

"For the sake of our old friendship, just surrender!"

A Suna Ninja jonin snorted immediately after hearing this: "What an arrogant brat! Although I admit that you are very powerful, it is too arrogant to say such a thing!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the jonin threw out a kunai with an explosive tag on it.

The most important thing was that Hoshita Shuichi saw that his right hand was raised up, while his left hand was forming a seal.

There are actually people in the Suna Ninja Village who can form seals with one hand?

Hoshita Shuichi was surprised, but then he remembered that the average level of the ninjas in the Suna Ninja Village seemed to be the highest among the five major ninja villages.

The Suna Village takes the elite route!

Boom!

Under the gaze of Hoshita Shuichi, the detonating tag exploded, and even the kunai was shattered into pieces, stained with the flames of the explosion.

Obviously the kunai was specially made, otherwise it wouldn't have exploded so easily.

At the same time, the Suna Ninja Jonin also completed the ninjutsu, opened his mouth and blew, and a strong wind swept in.

The wind fanned the fire, and the flames rolled, along with kunai fragments, sweeping towards Hoshita Shuichi and Asuka.

Good ninjutsu!

Hoshita Shuichi praised secretly, then raised his right palm with the palm facing outwards.

Boom!

A column of water from the ground in front of us shot up into the sky, and then formed a powerful current that surged forward and collided with the raging firestorm that was sweeping over.

Boom!

A loud roar erupted, followed by billowing water vapor that spread out.

Hoshita Shuichi then clenched his fist, and white fireballs appeared in the air, then tore through the water vapor and smashed towards the Suna Ninja.

"Here it comes!"

Mato shouted.

The three Suna Ninjas who were ready immediately released Wind Release Ninjutsu.

But at this time, Hoshita Shuichi on the opposite side also opened his mouth and blew, and a strong wind swept in. Fireballs immediately exploded, forming a blazing white flame storm. The three Suna Ninjas' wind release was suppressed as soon as they were released, and were engulfed by the flames.

The two jonin except Mato immediately took their places and used wind jutsu against wind jutsu.

Boom!

The friction and collision of the air created a terrible roar, and the flames spewed out to both sides, burning the grass and trees wherever they passed.

"He's coming!"

"So fast!"

Open your mouth to remind yourself that you are a perception ninja.

Mato's eyes focused and he saw a blue light whistling towards him, and he immediately opened his mouth and spit it out.

Wind Release - Thousand Faces of Wind!

A large number of wind blades mixed in the strong wind enveloped the running Hoshita Shuichi.

At this time, Hoshita Shuichi, who was in the Fire Release Chakra Mode, drew out the Ame-no-Murasaki Sword. The moment the blade was unsheathed, a blue blade light immediately shot out, splitting Thousand Faces Wind into two and forcibly creating a passage.

Swish, swish, swish!

A large number of shurikens flew over, but just when a few Suna Ninjas were about to use ninjutsu, blue flames suddenly appeared on their bodies.

Some people let out shrill screams, but some Suna Ninjas directly used Wind Release Ninjutsu to blow away the flames on their bodies.

What surprised Hoshita Shuichi the most was that his old acquaintance Mato actually sensed the danger and used the body-Instant Body technique to avoid it at the last moment, causing his unglazed technique to fail.

However, after avoiding the shuriken, Hoshita Shuichi was no longer blocked by any ninjutsu.

The jonin who reacted the fastest drew his sword and rushed forward, the blade buzzing with Wind Release chakra.

In a flash, two figures crossed each other. There was no sound of metal clashing. The high temperature on Hoshita Shuichi's body distorted the light, and the afterimage formed by the high speed caused the Suna Ninja Jonin to misjudge and his sword missed.

Boom!

The Suna Ninja's neck was grabbed by Hoshita Shuichi's left hand, and he was thrown to the charred ground.

The ground cracked and then sank, and the Suna Ninja Jonin's scream of pain turned into a muffled groan.

At this time, two more Suna Ninjas rushed up. Hoshita Shuichi swung his left hand, and the Suna Ninja Jonin with a charred neck flew towards the two Suna Ninjas.

"careful!"

A Suna Ninja warned and reached out to catch his companion, while another Suna Ninja swung his sword, and fine wind blades burst out and swept towards Hoshita Shuichi, but then Hoshita Shuichi disappeared from his sight.

The next moment, a scream came from behind.

The Suna Ninja was stunned and looked back to see that his two companions had fallen down.

Hoshita Shuichi ignored the Suna Ninja behind him, nor did he care about the two Suna Ninja who bypassed him and went straight to Asuka. He moved at high speed and headed straight for the horse platform.

He is the only one among the Suna Ninjas who is still intact.

At this time, Mato stood in front of several burned Suna Ninjas, forming seals while shouting, "You retreat first!"

Hoshita Shuichi's flames were so terrifying that he was severely burned in just a short time.

Several Suna Ninjas immediately retreated despite the severe pain, and Mato also completed the ninjutsu, opened his mouth and blew, and a violent storm swept across.

Having seen Hoshita Shuichi's methods, he knew very well that close combat was absolutely not allowed.

At the same time, the Suna Ninja who was left behind by Hoshita Shuichi also completed the ninjutsu, attacking with two storms from the front and behind.

Boom!

However,Hoshita Shuichi, who was caught in the storm, exploded into a cloud of smoke and was blown away.

Clone!

Where is the real body?

Mato was startled and was about to look for the trace of Hoshita Shuichi, but his companion opposite him suddenly groaned and was pulled into the ground, leaving only his head.

Hoshita Shuichi, who had already released the Fire Release Chakra Mode, rose from the ground, and then lightning flashed and crackled on his body.

lightning release - ground walking!

Accompanied by the screams of his companions, looking at the rapidly spreading lightning, and the other two companions locked in chains farther away, Mato had to retreat.

Hoshita Shuichi, who activated the Chidori instant movement, moved at high speed, like a flash of lightning.

At the same time, blue sword lights shot out.

Boom!

Big trees fell down one after another.

Mato kept dodging. He couldn't even use ninjutsu to stop Hoshita Shuichi from approaching. He didn't dare to divide his attention at all, otherwise he would be cut in two by the terrifying sword light before he could complete the ninjutsu.

"This guy is far more powerful than when he fought the Third Kazekage-sama."

Mato's back was covered in cold sweat.

He had a feeling that he might not be able to go back today.

"I'm sorry, Maki..."

His son's face flashed through his mind, and Mato's eyes suddenly became determined. He gave up retreating, took out a kunai, and rushed towards Hoshita Shuichi.

He couldn't escape anymore. If he did, several of his companions who had retreated earlier would also die.

Looking at Mato rushing towards him, Hoshita Shuichi raised his eyebrows slightly: Exchange injury for life, or exchange life for injury?

Without helping Mato,Hoshita Shuichi suddenly opened his mouth and inhaled and exhaled, and air bullets flew out.

Wind Release - Vacuum Bullets!

The ninjutsu was so sudden that even if Mato reacted quickly, he was inevitably hit.

But it was not fatal, it just pierced his left arm.

But then several extremely sharp air currents swept in.

Wind Release - Vacuum Wave!

Mato on the ground turned over in embarrassment.

Puff!

Deep cuts were made on the ground, and then Mato screamed, and his left leg was split in two.

Mato was lying on the ground, supporting himself with his head, and forming seals with his hands quickly.

However, Hoshita Shuichi stopped.

Earth release - Yellow Spring Swamp!

A swirling swamp appeared under Mato, constantly swallowing him.

Mato, who originally wanted to wait for Hoshita Shuichi to get close so as to launch a fatal blow, could only turn around immediately and open his mouth to deliver his final attack.

Wind Release - Great Net!

A sharp net-like wind swept out.

In front of Hoshita Shuichi, walls rose up from the ground, four in a row, blocking the net wind.

Then he dodged and stood on the wall, looking at Mato, whose body had sunk so low that only his eyes were left: "What a pity, he's an enemy!"

The swamp swallowed up Mato, and Hoshita Shuichi disappeared.

Beside Asuka, Hoshita Shuichi appeared, and then looked at the two Suna Ninjas who were subdued by the Diamond Seat.

Asuka asked, "Shuichi, how are they going to deal with this?"

Hoshita Shuichi created a shadow clone: "Let the shadow clone send them to the back, we will continue to chase those escaped Suna Ninjas."

Asuka nodded, handed the prisoner to the shadow clone, and then set off with Hoshita Shuichi to continue hunting down the Suna Ninja.

In the forest, several burned Suna Ninjas were still fleeing.

Suddenly, the Suna Ninja's perception ninja turned around and shouted through gritted teeth: "They are catching up!"

Behind them, blue electric lights flashed from time to time.The speed is too fast!

"You go first, I'll stay behind to cover you!"

A Suna Ninja suddenly stopped.

Another person also stopped immediately: "Let's do it together!"

"No, it's not your turn yet!"

Five Suna Ninjas continued to retreat, with one Suna Ninja covering their rear.

However, the Suna Ninja who was left behind did not let Hoshita Shuichi stop for even a second.

Illusion - Darkness Walk!Illusion - Tree Binding Kill!

He cast two illusions in the air, then swung his sword, and the combination of Fire and Wind Releases easily cut the Suna Ninja, who had not yet escaped the illusion, into two.

One after another, the Suna Ninjas stayed behind to cover their retreat, and then remained in this forest forever.

Under such cover, the Suna Ninja's perception ninja finally rushed out of the forest, rushed into the river, and slid at high speed on the surface of the river.

He is actually a Suna Ninja who is good at water jutsu!

On the river bank, Hoshita Shuichi stopped and did not chase any further.

He really needs to let the Suna Ninja know that he, Hoshita Shuichi, is here!

At the same time.

On the other side, Uchiha Shisui wiped the neck of the last Mist Ninja, and then looked towards Pakura.

Boom!

There was an explosion and flames shot up into the sky.

Uchiha's figure flashed, and after a moment he arrived at a battlefield.

All I saw were dry trees and dried corpses.

"Is this Scorch Release? It's amazing..."

Uchiha Shisui was secretly surprised.

Pakura, who was panting slightly in the middle of the battlefield, turned around and asked: "Have you solved your problem?"

Uchiha Shisui nodded, and then gently suggested: "It is best not to use moves that consume too much chakra. The Mist Ninja should send more elite troops here soon."

Pakura was stunned for a moment, then thanked him sincerely: "Thank you for reminding me, I understand."

The Suna Ninja frontline base.

Upon receiving the news, Chiyo rushed to the medical camp as quickly as possible and saw her subordinates wrapped like mummies with only their eyes exposed.

"How is he?"

Chiyo asked the medical ninja beside her.

The medical ninja said with a heavy expression, "Master Chiyo, 80% of his skin is severely burned. I'm afraid he won't be able to expose his skin to the air anymore."

Chiyo's face was solemn: "Is he the only one who escaped back?"

Jonin Feirian said with an unpleasant expression: "Mato was in charge of covering the rear. There were supposed to be five people, but the enemy caught up with us... I'm afraid he is the only one left."

"That guy, according to Yusa, is the Konoha genius Hoshita Shuichi who once fought against the Third Kazekage."

"There were only two of them. No, it should be one person. Yusa said that only that Hoshita Shuichi took action."

Chiyo couldn't help but be surprised when she heard this: "One person almost wiped out our three elite teams?"

"There are even elite jonin like Mato!"

Feirian nodded: "Although it is unbelievable, Yusha has no reason to lie."

"Master Chiyo, according to what Yusa said, this Hoshita Shuichi is obviously an extremely terrifying person, just like the White Fang of Konoha back then. We must get rid of him so that we can spy on Konoha's arrangements on the border of the Land of Fire with peace of mind."

Chiyo nodded: "Only two people...it seems that the Third Hokage has great trust in his abilities."

"Then send more people!"

"No matter how powerful two people are, they can't block the entire River Kingdom."

"Use the large force to cover the infiltration of the elite team. If thisHoshita Shuichi does not retreat, then keep him completely."

Feirian nodded immediately after hearing this: "Understood, I will lead the team there myself!"

Neither the Mist Ninja nor the Suna Ninja made Hoshita Shuichi and the others wait too long.

In just one hour, both sides sent out more ninjas, and the number reached hundreds.

Behind this large force are elite squads.

And Hoshita Shuichi, who was monitoring from the air, took everything in.

Bang!

One hawk exploded into smoke, while the other flew into the forest and returned to its human form in front of Uchiha Shisui and Pakura.

"The Mist Ninjas are dispatched in large numbers!"

Hoshita Shuichi said quickly: "There is a 100-man troop ahead, and they are coming specifically for us."

"The four teams behind should be responsible for infiltration."

Uchiha Shisui and Pakura's expressions suddenly became serious after hearing this.

Hoshita Shuichi said: "Shisui, Sho, you retreat, take the information to the back, and prepare to intercept the Mist Ninja's infiltration team."

"As for the 100-man army, I can temporarily hold back a part of them, but the rest will definitely fight you to cover the infiltration team."

Uchiha Shisui and Pakura nodded at the same time, and then Uchiha Shisui asked: "There are quite a few people dispatched from the Suna Ninja, right?"

Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "Similar configuration, don't worry, this time the strategy is to intercept them layer by layer and gradually consume their manpower."

"clear!"

Uchiha Shisui and Pakura retreated immediately.

Hoshita Shuichi watched them leave, then he transformed into the Four-Tails and began to recover his chakra.

Next, his shadow clone will have to deal with the Mist Ninja more.
