Talent Tree Ninja: I Can Upgrade My Abilities

That night, with the large-scale battle between Konoha Ninja, Suna Ninja, and Mist Ninja, it also meant that the Third Ninja World War entered a new stage.

The Hidden Kiri Village and the Hidden Suna Village launched an attack on Konoha at the same time!Before dawn, Hanzo of the Rain Village got the information from his subordinates.

"It really broke out!"

Hanzo snorted, "No wonder Konoha was so eager to form an alliance with me, and even promised to help me quell the unrest in the Rain Country."

The subordinate quickly asked, "Master Hanzo, should we form an alliance with Konoha?"

Hanzo said calmly, "No need!"

"We will not participate in this war!"

The culprits of the unrest in the Rain Country are Konoha, Iwagakure, and Suna Ninja. Now that he can see these big ninja villages fighting, why would he intervene?

When Hoshita Shuichi opened his eyes, it was already dawn, and he, who had originally fallen asleep while sitting, was now leaning in the arms of Asuka's clone.

But this also shows that there is no problem with Asuka's body.

"Sister Asuka, how is the battle going?"

Hoshita Shuichi stood up and stretched, then asked with a refreshed look.

Asuka said: "The Mist and Suna Ninjas have been dispatched on a large scale. The intelligence war has broken out in full swing. Because it was just the beginning, the battle was not very intense. The Mist and Suna Ninjas retreated after a brief battle."

Hoshita Shuichi nodded and said, "Retreat immediately after being touched. This can also be regarded as gathering intelligence."

"But it is conceivable that the next confrontation will be very intense."

Once they find a weak point in the defense, the Suna Ninjas and the Mist Ninjas will either launch a large-scale raid into the Fire Country, or send an elite team to break through and then fight in the rear, harassing the hinterland and logistics lines.

As for gathering a large army and marching into the Fire Nation without any intelligence, it was undoubtedly a very stupid thing to do.

After washing his face at the river, Hoshita Shuichi said to Asuka, "Sister Asuka, you two should go back and rest!"

"clear!"

Asuka nodded and then disappeared.

In less than 15 minutes, Uchiha Shisui and the other two returned.

After a sleepless night and continuous attacks and battles, the three men were inevitably tired. They hurriedly ate the ration pills, drank some water, and fell asleep.

Hoshita Shuichi, however, formed seals and created many shadow clones, still executing the same tactics from yesterday.

On the northern border of the Land of Wind, the frontline headquarters for the war against the Iwa Ninja.

The Fourth Kazekage Rasa fell silent after listening to the report from the person sent by Chiyo.

Of course he knew about Hoshita Shuichi, as they had fought against each other before.

Although he had not seen the battle between Hoshita Shuichi and the Third Kazekage with his own eyes, he had heard Mato's extremely detailed description of it.

I didn't expect that the little kid back then has grown to this point. Even elites like Mato and Feirian died at his hands.

"That guy was wanted by the Iwa Ninja because of the Four-Tails Jinchuriki. He once defeated the Four-Tails Jinchuriki..."

Rasa fell into deep thought: "Konoha White Fang, Red Sand Scorpion... Could it be that he killed the Third Generation?"

He had to make some amazing guesses.

He had this idea after learning from the Iwagakure captive the reason why Hoshita Shuichi was wanted by the Iwagakure, but he quickly rejected it. However, the strength displayed by Hoshita Shuichi now forced him to re-examine this speculation.

"No matter if it was him or not, he was able to wipe out the entire 100-man brigade led by Feirian in one battle. With this strength, there is indeed only one person who can suppress him, except me."

Rasa made a decision quickly and immediately ordered someone to escort Monk Bunpuku to the River Kingdom.

As for the Iwagakure Rasa pondered: "We must decide the outcome as soon as possible and mobilize troops to the River Kingdom."

"Even if we can't invade the Fire Kingdom, we must take over the River Kingdom."

He has realized that it is very difficult to extend his influence into the Bird Kingdom.

Although the quality of the Iwagakure ninjas is far inferior to that of the Suna Village, their numbers are huge, and the army he leads is now unable to advance.

"Perhaps..."

The thought of negotiating with the Iwagakure ninja suddenly flashed through Rasa's mind, but he immediately rejected the idea.

Even if there is a peace talk, it must not be brought up by the Suna Village!

In the afternoon, in the meeting room of the Tsuchikage Building in Iwagakure Village, a group of senior officials of Iwagakure Village were arguing with each other.

Half an hour ago, the Suna Ninja and the Mist Ninja had sent back information about the battle with Konoha.

Ohnoki immediately convened this high-level meeting.

However, unlike the last time when they quickly reached a consensus to declare war on the Suna Ninja, this time they were divided into two factions on whether to launch an attack on Konoha.

"Although I don't want to admit it, Konoha is indeed the most powerful among the five major ninja villages."

"Although Konoha is being attacked by the Suna Ninja and the Mist Ninja, according to intelligence, the forces dispatched by the Suna Ninja and the Mist Ninja are not large, so now is not the best time to attack."

"That's right, and Konoha has already increased its military strength at the border, which means it's already on guard against us. We should get intelligence on Konoha's military strength in the battle against the Sand and Mist Ninjas before making a decision."

"Or we can wait for the Mist Ninja to invade the Land of Fire from the east, or even for the Kumo ninja to be dispatched, and then we can take action!"

"But if we do that, I'm afraid we will miss the opportunity. Konoha's strength is obvious to all. If they repel the Mist and Suna Ninjas before we go out, there will be no one to share the manpower with us."

"That's right. If we attack now, the Suna Ninja and the Mist Ninja will definitely take the opportunity to increase their forces, and the Kumo ninja will also be involved."

"We can even negotiate peace with the Suna Ninja and attack the Fire Nation together!"

Listening to the quarrel between the two sides, Ohnoki frowned, then coughed twice and said, "First collect more information, especially the military strength of Konoha, Suna Ninja, and Mist Ninja, as well as the attitude of Hanzo of Rain Ninja Village."

"Previous intelligence showed that Konoha has been trying to win over Hanzo."

Ōnoki made the decision, and many high-ranking Iwagakure ninjas nodded in agreement.

As the decision was made, Ōnoki's order was quickly passed down, and more Iwagakure teams set out and headed straight for the Land of Rain.

However, due to their geographical location, the Kumo ninjas only received the news sent back by the spies in the evening.

Unlike the meeting held by Ōnoki, the Third Raikage only sought the opinions of several jonin including Dodai and decided to wait quietly.

Although he was very restless inside and wanted to start a war to seize benefits.

In the River Country, at the Mist Ninja Headquarters, Hozuki Hozuki's face was gloomy and she was so heartbroken that she almost bled.

Although he had issued an order to retreat if they encountered Hoshita Shuichi, the losses were still rising rapidly.

It would be very difficult to retreat even if you meet Hoshita Shuichi!

But it was just a shadow clone, so it would be meaningless even if he mobilized troops to attack.

And from yesterday to now, we have lost almost three hundred people.

Hozuki Hozuki never thought that a person could do this.

"Damn little devil..."

Hozuki Hozuki cursed inwardly.

There are not many choices left for him now.

Either find Hoshita Shuichi's real body and concentrate our forces to kill him.

But today, I got more information about this kid from the Suna Ninja. It is very likely that he has mastered the technique of space-time teleportation. It is too difficult to surround and kill such a person.

Either ask for help from the village and send strong enough ninja to restrain Hoshita Shuichi.

But having such strength... Hozuki Hozuki rejected this option.

He is so incompetent to ask the village for help just because of a little kid!

So, after thinking it over, he seemed to have only one choice.That is to launch a general offensive as soon as possible and invade the Fire Nation.

Although they have not yet figured out the enemy's troop deployment, according to previous spy intelligence, Konoha's total troop strength on the River Country side will not exceed 1,500 people.

"As long as Konoha's main force is defeated, this Hoshita Shuichi will be powerless."

"Concentrate our forces to break through one point..."

Hozuki thought to himself: "If Konoha's military strength exceeds mine, then I will use infiltration tactics to shake the entire border of Konoha. Then the Suna Village can seize the opportunity and break through from both inside and outside."

This plan is extremely risky as the importance of the Sand Shinobi increases dramatically, especially when they are in a disadvantageous position.

"But Konoha's military strength will not exceed mine. At most, it will be equal to mine."

"Then as the attacking party, I have the upper hand!"

Looking at the map, Hozuki Hozuki clapped her hands and made a decision in her heart.

Launch a general attack on Konoha tonight!

Hozuki Hozuki immediately issued an order to recall all the scattered teams.

The actions of the Mist Ninja were quickly discovered by Hoshita Shuichi's shadow clone, and Uchiha Shisui, Pakura, and Asuka retreated to Hoshita Shuichi's main body and talked about the strange phenomenon of the Mist Ninja's sudden retreat.

It was not just one or two teams retreating. Through the crow clone, it was discovered that many teams of Mist Ninja that were fighting against Konoha Ninja suddenly retreated.

After hearing the information from Uchiha Shisui and others, Hoshita Shuichi did not make a rash decision, but waited quietly for the feedback from the shadow clone.

Time passed little by little, and in the evening, the shadow clone that was monitoring the Mist Ninja was finally released, and the memory was fed back.

Hoshita Shuichi couldn't help but be surprised: "Is this a desperate move?"

His tactics were indeed somewhat disgusting. He sent out shadow clones and hunted down Mist Ninjas everywhere with Asuka and the others.

There were even many times when the shadow clones would directly block the Mist Ninja not far from their base camp.

Too arrogant!

And now the Mist Ninja has actually gathered all its strength, condensed into a group and moved out together. It seems that they are going to launch a general attack directly, and they don't care about the deployment of troops on the Konoha side.

After thinking for a while, Hoshita Shuichi once again created a shadow clone to monitor the actions of the Mist Ninja, and then said to Uchiha Shisui: "Shisui, please use your crow clone to deliver the information to the rear."

"The Mist Ninjas have suddenly gathered all their strength. It looks like they are planning to launch a general attack directly into the Land of Fire."

Uchiha Shisui nodded, and the flock of crows resting not far away immediately flew away.

At the same time, at the Suna Ninja front headquarters, Chiyo agreed to Kirigakure's plan almost without hesitation after receiving the news from the Mist Ninja.

However, how to cooperate and when to launch the general attack depends on the timing.

Chiyo felt that with the strength of the Mist Ninja's troops, even if they were at a disadvantage, they could still hold on for a while.

A plan that is beneficial to them, there is no reason to disagree.

Uchiha Shisui quickly got feedback from the crow clone, and said to Hoshita Shuichi who had turned into a mini Four-Tails: "Shuichi, Lord Orochimaru has begun to gather troops, but he needs you to go back."

Hoshita Shuichi opened his eyes and was a little surprised: "Lord Orochimaru is here?"

Uchiha Shisui nodded: "Yes, I happened to be patrolling here."

Hoshita Shuichi turned back into human form, but this time he did not use shadow clones. Instead, he used Flying Thunder God to move his real body back.

After seeing Orochimaru, Hoshita Shuichi was surprised to hear Orochimaru say: "Shuichi-kun, how about letting you command this battle?"

Hoshita Shuichi shook his head: "No matter my qualifications or experience, I'm afraid I'm not suitable."

Orochimaru said seriously: "But your previous strategy was very effective, wasn't it?"

"I need you to hold off the Mist Ninja!"

"Now is not the time to have a decisive battle with the Mist Ninja."

However, Hoshita Shuichi had a different idea: "Lord Orochimaru, I think this is an opportunity to defeat the main force of the Mist Ninja."

"It's rare for the Mist Ninja to gather everyone together and prepare to fight a head-on charge with us. As long as I send my Flying Thunder God Kunai into the Mist Ninja army, I can break their formation."

"When the time comes, Lord Orochimaru, you will lead the Konoha army to charge, and the Mist Ninja will definitely collapse completely!"

Orochimaru smiled after hearing this: "It seems that Shuichi-kun still has some hidden strength!"

Hoshita Shuichi said seriously: "The ninja world is too dangerous, we always need some means to save our lives."

Orochimaru nodded in agreement, and then said, "Leave the Flying Thunder God Kunai to me!"

Hoshita Shuichi immediately took out six kunai and handed them to Orochimaru: "It's better to separate them."

After collecting the Flying Thunder God Kunai, Orochimaru nodded: "Understood!"

Hoshita Shuichi left immediately.

Back to Uchiha Shisui and the others, Hoshita Shuichi soon received the memory feedback from the shadow clone, and immediately led Uchiha Shisui and the others to retreat and meet up with Orochimaru and the others.

2 hours later.

In front of the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of River, the Mist Ninja army stopped on a flat ground.

On the other side of the border is a large forest, and Konoha's army has gathered here.

However, only a few people such as Hoshita Shuichi and Orochimaru were standing at the edge of the forest, and the other Konoha ninjas were in the forest behind.

Orochimaru looked at the Mist Ninja who was preparing, turned around and asked, "Shuichi-kun, the kunai is not in the center, is that okay?"

Hoshita Shuichi stared at the Mist Ninja: "As long as you are within the camp!"

Orochimaru nodded and asked again: "So...are you ready?"

Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said, "Of course!"

"Please also prepare yourself, Lord Orochimaru!"

As he spoke, a bright blue light lit up on his forehead.

The Yin Seal is released!

The Strength of a Hundred Seal, start!

In an instant, condensed blue chakra covered Hoshita Shuichi's entire body and turned into a divine robe.

"Wow... such strong chakra!"

"What kind of ninjutsu is this!?"

"Shuichi Jounin he is...so awesome!"

Under the shocked gazes behind him, Hoshita Shuichi's chakra coat burned with flames and was dotted with lotus patterns.

Fire Release Chakra Mode, but did not use Flame Release Chakra Mode, but a combination of Fire Release and Wind Release power.

But Hoshita Shuichi didn't end there.

After the Yin seal on the forehead was released, the seal on the abdomen was also released.

Bang! Bang!

Two shadow clones, also in Fire Release Chakra Mode, appeared on the left and right of Hoshita Shuichi.

at the same time.

In the Mist Ninja camp, after taking a ration pill and drinking a sip of water, Hozuki Hozuki also noticed the chakra burst from Hoshita Shuichi and was shocked: "This is his true strength. Is this what he used against the Suna Ninja before?"

"However, Konoha has less than 500 men, so I have the advantage in this battle!"

Hozuki Hozuki did not waver in her determination.

According to the perception of the ninja, Konoha has at most 420 people.

But now they still have more than 600 people.
