Talent Tree Ninja: I Can Upgrade My Abilities

"Shuichi-kun, what do you think we should do with the Suna Ninja next?"

Under the starry sky, feeling the evening breeze, standing on the hill, looking at the many Konoha ninjas busy below, Orochimaru asked with a smile.

The Mist Ninjas were completely annihilated, which made him feel very good.

Hoshita Shuichi asked back: "Lord Orochimaru should have a plan, right?"

Orochimaru smiled and said, "How about blocking the Suna Ninja's information channels, making them think that we are still fighting the Mist Ninja, and also mobilizing their forces in front of them?"

Hoshita Shuichi nodded naturally, and praised sincerely: "Lord Orochimaru is worthy of being one of the Three Ninjas. I also think this is the best method. Although we can definitely launch a strong attack on the Suna Ninjas with our current strength, it is inevitable that there will be heavy casualties."

"According to the original plan, luring the Suna Ninja into a trap can greatly reduce losses. And now that our military strength has greatly increased, we will be more relaxed."

Orochimaru joked, "Shuichi-kun, you performed so well. As the commander, I naturally have to make the record even better."

"Then the task of sealing off the Suna Ninjas will be left to you."

Hoshita Shuichi immediately agreed: "Understood!"

After separating from Orochimaru, Hoshita Shuichi returned to the forest where Asuka and the others were resting.

"Shuichi, Shisui made fish soup, come and have some!"

Asuka smiled and waved.

"It's been a long time since I've tasted Shisui's cooking."

Hoshita Shuichi walked forward with a smile, sat down on the ground, took the fish soup in the bamboo tube from Asuka, and drank it happily.

After eating and drinking, Uchiha Shisui asked: "Shuichi, the next step is to besiege the Suna Ninja, right?"

Asuka smiled and said, "With our current military strength, we completely outnumber the Suna Ninjas. We can attack from both sides."

Hoshita Shuichi glanced at the silent Pakura and shook his head, "Not so fast yet. Our team's next mission is to block the connection between the Suna Ninja and the Mist Ninja army that no longer exists."

After that, he said to Pakura: "Scorch, you should go back to the Land of Fire and prepare to fight against the Mist Ninja!"

Pakura was startled when he heard this, then quickly nodded: "Yes, Shuichi-sama!"

As she was about to get up, Hoshita Shuichi waved her hand and said, "Let's leave tomorrow morning!"

"Okay, let's take a break!"

The four of them separated and went into their tents to rest.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Hoshita Shuichi got up refreshed and went to exercise.

He still used earth and water release techniques to create a waterfall, and then stood under the waterfall and brandished his sword.

He brought this special sword with him in the Ninja Tool Scroll.

After two hours of training, the Konoha camp had become lively.

Asuka and Uchiha Shisui grilled a rabbit and made fish soup.

When Hoshita Shuichi was finishing his work, Pakura appeared: "Shuichi-sama, I'm leaving!"

"Um!"

Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "Let's go to the experimental base first, I will find you then."

"yes!"

After bowing, Pakura turned and left.

Hoshita Shuichi looked at Pakura's back and smiled.

Good, you are becoming more and more obedient.

After breakfast, Orochimaru led his army to evacuate.

Some people escorted the wounded and Mist Ninja prisoners back to Konoha, and most of the ninjas followed Orochimaru away.

Hoshita Shuichi created a shadow clone to monitor the movements of the Suna Ninja. After breakfast, he took Uchiha Shisui and Asuka, and with the cooperation of the shadow clone, he began to block the connection between the Suna Ninja and the non-existent Mist Ninja army.

This task is relatively easy.

The Suna Ninja met Hoshita Shuichi and turned away.

If there is a sentient ninja who senses Hoshita Shuichi's chakra from afar, he will turn around and run.

Time passes by little by little.

Two days passed in a flash.

At the Suna Ninja Headquarters, Chiyo frowned.

It's been two days. It's been two days since we lost contact with the Mist Ninja.

The brat Hoshita Shuichi did not come to harass them, but instead cut off their connection with the Mist Ninja.

What exactly happened?

"Is Konoha in critical condition?"

Chiyo pondered secretly: "But if it is a crisis, how can a combat force like Hoshita Shuichi be left alone? Even if it is just a clone."

"So, the Mist Ninja is in bad shape?"

"Have Konoha's reinforcements arrived, or have they secretly gathered their forces to devour the Mist Ninja first?"

There are many possibilities.

No information from the Rain Country has been passed on, and Chiyo currently does not know whether Konoha has received reinforcements.

But the Konoha ninja in front of him seemed to be normal in the past two days.

At this time, a voice came from outside: "Master Chiyo, information has come from the direction of the Rain Country."

Chiyo was delighted: "Come in!"

A young Suna Ninja immediately brought in the information, and Chiyo took the rolled-up note and quickly scanned it.

There are no reinforcements from Konoha!

"So, the troops from the front line were mobilized?"

Chiyo turned and looked at the map: "Utane Koharu, you don't have that much courage."

"It looks like this is the work of Orochimaru, one of the Three Ninjas. He is indeed a young man!"

Orochimaru, who was in his thirties, was indeed considered young in front of her.

However, although he had basically confirmed his idea and had also discovered several weak points in Konoha's defense in the past two days, Chiyo still did not immediately make the decision to launch a general attack.

That night, Chiyo gave orders to organize an attack that was even more rapid than the previous two days in order to further test the weak points that had been discovered previously.

But the result was a fierce counterattack from the Konoha ninja, which seemed to break the previous judgment of the weakness.

But in the brightly lit tent, Chiyo listened to the information from the front line and looked at the map, and became more and more certain of her speculation.

"Konoha's flying ninja beasts have been monitoring our actions, so they can know the direction of our attack in advance... Konoha has a special forces team that can quickly support the attack points, so those original weak points will suddenly become different."

As Chiyo was analyzing this in her mind, a clearly excited voice came from outside: "Master Chiyo, the reinforcements sent by the village have arrived!"

It's finally here!

Chiyo showed a look of joy, turned around and walked out of the tent, and then saw her younger brother and the One-tail Jinchuriki Bunpuku!

She immediately ordered a meeting of all the jonin present.

No need to wait any longer.

Hoshita Shuichi, who was resting by a river, raised his eyebrows after receiving the memory feedback from the shadow clone: "The One-Tail Jinchuriki is here!"

"Looks like the Suna Ninja is about to attack!"

Hoshita Shuichi stood up and said to Uchiha Shisui and Asuka: "Go back to the base camp, the Suna Ninja may be launching a general attack!"

Both of them were shocked when they heard this.

Uchiha Shisui quickly asked: "Shuichi, has something happened to the Suna Ninja?"

"Um!"

Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "The Suna Ninja has reinforcements, it's the One-Tail Jinchuriki!"

He chuckled as he spoke: "Maybe he came here specifically to deal with me."

Asuka immediately said solemnly: "I heard that the tailed beast is very scary, Shuichi, I will help you seal it when the time comes!"

"certainly!"

Hoshita Shuichi responded with a smile.

Uchiha Shisui also said immediately: "My Sharingan should be of use as well."

"Don't worry, I won't abandon you!"

"Let's go!"

As he said this, Hoshita Shuichi jumped up.

The three of them headed for the Konoha headquarters at the fastest speed, but Hoshita Shuichi, who was specifically designed to intercept the Suna Ninja, did not recall several shadow clones that were created to intercept the Suna Ninja. They could transform into flying ninja beasts to monitor the Suna Ninja after they no longer needed to intercept.

Two hours later, Hoshita Shuichi and the other two returned to the base camp in the Fire Nation.

At this time, Orochimaru and his men had already learned that the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki had arrived at the front line.

Of course, the entire Konoha cannot rely solely on Hoshita Shuichi to keep an eye on the Suna Ninja. The direction of the Wind Country is also a key surveillance point.

When Hoshita Shuichi entered the tent, Koharu Tateshita said, "You came at the right time, Shuichi. You all know the news about the One-Tail Jinchuriki coming, right?"

Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "I saw the battle between the One-Tail and the Four-Tail during the battle between the Suna Ninja and the Iwa Ninja. I am very familiar with his chakra."

"It looks like the Suna Ninja will most likely launch a general attack today!"

Utane Koharu nodded and said solemnly: "The key is the tailed beast..."

Jounin Sarutobi Shin asked, "Shuichi Jounin, you have seen the battle between the One-Tail and the Four-Tail, how strong are they?"

Everyone in the tent looked at Hoshita Shuichi.

Most people have never seen the fighting power of the tailed beasts with their own eyes.

And now, apart from Hoshita Shuichi, probably only Utane Koharu and Orochimaru have been seen in the tent.

The former has experienced a lot, but Orochimaru is a ruthless man who once plotted against the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

Hoshita Shuichi pondered for a moment and said, "The Four-tailed Jinchūriki is different from the One-tailed. The Four-tailed Jinchūriki can already control the power of the tailed beasts, and even master the Lava Release Bloodline limit through the power of the tailed beasts."

"So the Four-Tails Jinchuriki's fighting method is usually to borrow the power of the tailed beasts and use Lava release."

"Generally speaking, there are three states."

Hoshita Shuichi introduced it in detail: "The first is the Jinchūriki using his own power, and the second is the Tailed Beast Coat, which borrows the chakra of the Tailed Beast to form the One-Tail state, while still in human form."

"And a step further is half-tailed beast transformation, with four tails. In this state, speed and other abilities will increase dramatically, and it can also use an attack that is enough to destroy a town with one strike - the Tailed Beast Bomb."

"The last time he lost the battle with the One-Tail, the Four-Tailed Jinchūriki had to release the Four-Tailed. This is a state that only non-perfect Jinchūriki have to use. There is a great possibility of losing control. The one fighting now is the Tailed Beast."

Someone asked at this time: "Shuichi, Jonin, how powerful is the Tailed Beast Bomb you mentioned compared to the move you used a few days ago?"

How can this be compared?

After all, if the chakra injected is different, the power will also be different.

But after thinking about it, Hoshita Shuichi still replied: "Mine is an S-level forbidden technique. If the chakra is equivalent, it should be about the same."

"But my chakra cannot be compared with the tailed beasts, so the most important thing to deal with the tailed beasts is the sealing technique."

Utatane Koharu immediately said, "Shuichi, I remember you practiced sealing techniques with Minato and the others, right?"

"Um?"

Hoshita Shuichi nodded and said, "Indeed."

"The situation of the One-Tail is different from that of the Four-Tail. The One-Tail's Jinchuriki, Monk Bunpuku, does not seem to have mastered the power of the Tailed Beast, but at the same time he can control the One-Tail."

Orochimaru spoke for the first time and asked, "Shuichi-kun, what does this mean?"

Hoshita Shuichi: "During the last battle, Bunpukuku directly released the one-tailed beast, so he did not master the power of the tailed beast and use it to fight."

"But he has a very strong sealing ability, which can restrain the One-Tail and prevent it from going berserk and attacking the Suna Ninja."

"In addition, the One-Tail's ability, in addition to the Tailed Beast Bomb, is also extremely powerful in Wind Release."

After thinking for a while, Hoshita Shuichi added: "It should be on par with me."

The jonin in the tent couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this, while Shimura Hien's face turned dark: Damn little brat, bragging about yourself!

Orochimaru said, "According to Shuichi-kun, ordinary ninjas are absolutely not allowed to get close to the tailed beasts."

Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "Ordinary attacks are no different from tickling the tailed beasts."

"The other tail has strong defenses, especially in the desert. His strength will be even stronger. He can manipulate sand and his body can turn into sand."

"Last time, his forelimbs were broken by the Four-Tailed Beast. After they fell, they turned into sand, and the limbs grew back very quickly."

Everyone in the tent couldn't help but look solemn.

Orochimaru is no exception.

He overturned the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, but that doesn't mean he would underestimate the power of the tailed beasts.

If it came to a head-on battle, he had to admit that there was no effective way to deal with such a behemoth.

When a Tailed Beast Bomb comes, either run away or use Rashomon to block it.

As for that guy Manda, you can't count on him.

"Well then, Shuichi-kun, I'll leave the One Tail to you."

Orochimaru said, "There is no Sealing Squad at the moment, and it is too late to transfer one from the village now."

Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "No problem, Asuka also knows the sealing technique."

"However, once one appears, you must stay away from it!"

Utane Koharu immediately said, "Let's pass it on later!"

"clear!"

Everyone responded by drinking.

After a while, the meeting ended and everyone went about their own business. Utane Koharu led a group of people to retreat to the medical camp, and the command of the front line was completely handed over to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru arranged everything in an orderly and skillful manner.

The Suna Ninja's infiltration war against the Fire Country's border seems to have not changed, but at this time both Konoha and the Suna Ninja are making preparations.

Time passed little by little, and soon it was night.

Hoshita Shuichi, Uchiha Shisui and Asuka waited quietly, only the shadow clone turned into a hawk and watched the Suna Ninja in the air.

But at late night, the Suna Ninja did not move at all, and everything was the same as in the previous few days.

"Are you planning to wait until dawn to launch the attack?"

Hoshita Shuichi frowned secretly.

Orochimaru immediately decided to let the Konoha ninjas take turns to rest, otherwise they would not be able to wait for the opportunity to tire themselves out.

At this moment both sides were pretending to be normal, but they were preparing.

In a blink of an eye, it was before dawn, the time when people were most tired.

His subordinate, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Here it comes!"

"Shisui!"

Hoshita Shuichi stood up and shouted: "Go inform Lord Orochimaru, the Suna Ninja has been dispatched, target number 3!"

"clear!"

Uchiha Shisui immediately used the technique of instant body disappearance, while Hoshita Shuichi took Asuka and rushed to the front line.

Soon, there was a commotion in the rear of Konoha, and the Konoha ninjas who were originally resting went out one after another, moving in small groups towards the designated destination.

Target No. 3 is one of the three traps set by Orochimaru.

At this moment in the darkness, Chiyo, who was moving forward at high speed, looked up at the disappearing flying ninja beast but still did not change her target.

The army attacked at high speed, and in just half an hour, the Suna Ninja crossed the border between the two countries and arrived at the Konoha defense line.

Konoha's defense line relies on the vast forest.

This is also the terrain where Konoha ninjas are best at fighting.

whoosh!

As the Suna Ninja approached, a sharp whistle was heard in the forest.

As the Suna Ninjas rushed into the forest through rivers, the Konoha Ninjas were retreating one by one.

"wind release!"

The Suna Ninja jonin and chunin who were in the front shouted loudly, and the Suna Ninja behind them immediately formed hand seals.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh ! In the darkness, there was a sound of breaking through the air, and a large number of shurikens flew over, but were all blocked by the Suna Ninja in the front. Then they made way, and the Suna Ninja who had completed the seal stepped forward, opened his mouth and blew, and the air flow suddenly rose, the roar exploded, and the storm swept forward.

In the forest, Konoha ninjas hid behind the big trees.

But many of the traps were destroyed in the storm, especially the detonating talismans.

And most importantly, after such a storm there will be a period of time when the air is thin, making the detonating talisman ineffective.

The forest is indeed Konoha's battle site, but the Suna Ninja also has the means to clear most traps.

So, when the storm just stopped, the Suna Ninja jonin and chunin captains all gave orders: "Pass quickly!"

The Suna Ninjas advanced quickly through this relatively safe area, while the Konoha Ninjas rushed out and hand-to-hand combat began.

The Suna Ninjas, with their superior military strength, advanced rapidly, while the Konoha Ninjas fought and retreated. The sounds of metal clashing rang out one after another, and screams echoed throughout the forest from time to time.

However, the deeper they went, the greater the resistance the Suna Ninja encountered, and more and more Konoha Ninjas appeared on both sides.

Bang!

A Konoha ninja fell down, but exploded into smoke.

"A clone?"

The Suna Ninja snorted.

The same situation occurred not far away.

At this time, a large number of air-breaking sounds were heard in the darkness, in front, on both sides, and the alert Suna Ninja immediately shouted: "Be careful, Konoha is about to counterattack!"

However, what surprised the Suna Ninjas was that the things thrown at them were not aimed at them, nor were they shurikens, but rather strange egg-shaped objects.

Even if they have never seen it, any Suna Ninja knows that this is definitely some kind of ninja tool.

Almost subconsciously, each Suna Ninja would stay away from such things.

But before they could move, one Naruto-style grenades exploded.

Whoosh whoosh whooshA large number of tiny steel balls burst out and flew out like a steel storm.

Puff, puff, puff!

Blood mist flew up from the bodies of the Suna Ninjas, and their shrill screams echoed throughout the forest.

Caught off guard, a large number of Suna Ninjas were hit. Some were beaten to death on the spot, while others were lucky and screamed miserably after falling to the ground.

There were also Suna Ninjas who moved quickly and dodged using the instant body movement technique.

"Don't let these things get near!"

One by one, the Suna Ninjas warned each other to throw shurikens to intercept the grenades thrown by the Konoha Ninjas, or to blow them away with wind jutsu.

But at this moment, grenades exploded underground and on trees, accompanied by flames, rising in the darkness, and a large number of steel balls were scattered.

What was buried underground was actually originally connected by steel wires, and it only needed a pull to make it fly up and explode in mid-air.

However, due to the Suna Ninja's wind jutsu, a large part of its settings lost their effectiveness, and it could only explode underground, greatly reducing its power.

The one on the tree was pinned to the back of the tree, which was the direction of the Suna Ninja's attack, and was not destroyed by the Wind Release.

These grenades are directional blasting, and all the steel balls radiate outwards.

This time it was more covert, and even some Suna Ninja jonin were shot into sieves because the distance was too close and the steel balls were too dense to dodge in time.

This time, not only the Suna Ninjas, but also the Konoha Ninjas who were fighting with the Suna Ninjas were hit one after another, but they exploded into a cloud of smoke one by one.

Clone!

They are all clones, shadow clones, earth clones, and water clones.

One by one, the Suna Ninjas realized that this was a trap!

In the Instant Body firelight, Chiyo watched as a large number of his companions fell like wheat being cut. With a gloomy face, he kept ordering the defense to shrink, and at the same time asked those who knew fire release to use fire release to ignite the grass and trees to provide light.

Originally darkness was a cover, but now darkness has become an accomplice in the death of Suna Ninja.

Earth release technique to defend, wind release technique to blow away, using shuriken to destroy the detonating tags inside grenades...the Suna Ninjas tried every possible means, but some of them continued to be hit by the steel balls and fell down in the explosions.

After a while, the explosions stopped, and with the help of the firelight, the Suna Ninja saw a large number of Konoha ninjas appearing in front and on both sides.

"Lord Chiyo, we...we are surrounded!"

The Suna Ninja in charge of perception had sweat on his forehead: "At least 700 people!"

Ebizo asked, "Are there a large number of Konoha ninjas blocking the rear?"

The sensing Suna Ninja quickly said, "There's none behind us."

Chiyo said calmly: "There must be, but it won't appear now."

"If we turn around and charge out now, there will definitely be an ambush outside that will attack from the side and cut us in two!"

Ebizo said in a deep voice: "So, our only choice at the moment is to defeat the enemy in front of us!"

Chiyo nodded and said firmly: "That's right, rush forward, then turn around and fight your way out from Konoha's weak point."

Ebizo looked at Bunpuku and said, "Then let One Tail open a passage!"

Chiyo also looked at Bunpuku.

At this time, the Konoha ninjas on both sides of the front had already rushed up and were entangled with the Suna Ninjas on the periphery. The really brutal fight began.

Listening to the screams outside, Bunpuku sighed and nodded: "I understand!"

"I've already told One Tail to follow him later."

"But, after the war is over, let him play with sand for a month."

Chiyo nodded immediately: "No problem, I will talk to the Fourth Hokage about this personally. Of course, the Sealing Squad will need to guard it."

"certainly!"

Bunpuku nodded and then leaped forward.

"That monk is the One-Tailed Jinchuriki!"

"Retreat quickly!"

"spread!"

At this moment, whether it was the Suna Ninja in front or the Konoha Ninja on the left and right sides, they all retreated quickly.

In front of the Suna Ninja, the figures of Hoshita Shuichi and Orochimaru also appeared.

"The One-Tail Jinchuriki really feels the same as the Eight-Tail Jinchuriki back then."

Orochimaru stared at Bunfuku who was at the front of the Suna Ninja, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Shuichi-kun really wants to obtain the chakra of the One-Tail, right?"

Hoshita Shuichi asked back: "Isn't it the same for Lord Orochimaru?"

Orochimaru chuckled, "Then you guys have to work harder, Shuichi-kun!"

At this time, Bunpuku said, "Everyone from Konoha, can you make way for a passage?"

Orochimaru immediately laughed and said, "As an invader, it is very excessive to make such a request."

"If you surrender, I can ask the Third Hokage for permission to let the Fourth Kazekage redeem you!"

Before Bunpukuku could even open his mouth, the Suna Ninja shouted, "Don't even think about it!"

"That's right. Even if I die here, I won't surrender. Besides, the outcome hasn't been decided yet!"

"Can you withstand the power of One Tail?"

"Go ahead, kill all these guys and avenge the dead!"

The Suna Ninjas' eyes turned red and they all shouted.

Orochimaru ignored it and stepped back.

Bunpuku said no more. He lowered his eyelids, and scarlet chakra burst out from his body, and then quickly turned into a huge monster.

One-tailed Shukaku, here we go!

"Is this...is this the tailed beast?"

"It's…it's really huge!"

"Such strong chakra, no wonder we have to retreat!"

The Konoha ninjas looked up at the One-Tail that was taller than the towering trees, and exclaimed and swallowed their saliva.

It's so big!

Especially in the dim light, it looks particularly scary.

"Continue to retreat!"

Orochimaru ordered.

Almost at the same time, Chiyo also ordered the Suna Ninja to temporarily retreat a distance.

Hoshita Shuichi looked up at Shukaku who was howling happily, and said to Uchiha Shisui and Asuka behind him: "Shisui, Sister Asuka, you two should also retreat a distance for the time being!"

"clear!"

Uchiha Shisui and Asuka retreated immediately.

And Hoshita Shuichi flashed and reached the top of the tree in an instant.

But standing here you still have to look up at the tall Shukaku, and the sky is gradually getting brighter.

"A little devil?"

Shukaku looked down at Hoshita Shuichi, then glanced at the many Konoha ninjas hiding in the woods, and smiled: "It seems that there are quite a lot of people. I should have added an extra month if I had known."

At this time, Hoshita Shuichi entered the Fire Chakra Mode, and Shukaku's eyes suddenly fixed: "An ordinary ninja can actually do this, no wonder you dare to stand in front of me."

"Very good, in that case... go to hell!"

Shukaku's voice suddenly became sharp. He pressed his abdomen with his left forelimb and shot a huge wind ball from his mouth towards Hoshita Shuichi.

Wind Release - Practice Aerial Bullet!

"You really have a bad temper!"

Hoshita Shuichi drew his sword, and as the Ame-no-Murasaki sword came out of its sheath, a crescent-shaped blue sword light burst out.

Azure Flame Vacuum Slash!

The sword light and the wind ball collided and exploded together, forming a terrible storm that swept in all directions. Orochimaru and others who were watching the battle in the forest all hid behind the trees.

At this time, Hoshita Shuichi had already flown up, the sword light surged, and a sword several dozen meters long appeared, chopping towards Shukaku fiercely.

Azure Flame Waterfall sword!

Shukaku raised his sharp claws and grabbed from the side, but Hoshita Shuichi twisted his hands and slashed the sword diagonally halfway, and with a "swish", he cut off Shukaku's right claw.

Boom!

The huge claw fell to the ground and turned into a pool of sand.

"hateful!"

"I'm going to kill you!"

Shukaku was angry, and opened his mouth to shoot wind balls at Hoshita Shuichi one after another.

Hoshita Shuichi moved at high speed in the sky, avoiding one wind ball after another. At the same time, a dragon head appeared on his shoulder, and high-temperature rays burst out, hitting Shukaku's body one after another.

But the charred holes recovered surprisingly quickly. Although Shukaku screamed in pain and became more and more irritable, he did not seem to have suffered any fatal injuries. He leaped up with his huge body, looking down from above, and shot out wind balls.

Hoshita Shuichi swung his sword to split the wind ball.

"Little devil, I'm going to kill them all first!"

Shukaku noticed Hoshita Shuichi's actions, let out a strange cry, and shot a wind ball towards the Konoha ninjas in the forest.

However, the Konoha ninjas worked together to block the attack.

And Hoshita Shuichi appeared at Shukaku's side, and the Azure Flame Waterfall sword fell again, heading straight for Shukaku's head.

He wanted to see if Shukaku could grow back with the help of the sand body if he was decapitated.

But the next moment, Shukaku's sharp claws grabbed the huge blade of the Azure Flame Waterfall Sword, and then turned around and fired a training bullet.

The Azure Flame Waterfall sword disintegrated, Hoshita Shuichi held the sword horizontally and his palm upright, the Illusion spell formed by the talisman opened, the air bullet disappeared in front of him, and then a roar broke out in an uninhabited place in the distance, and a storm was set off.

Hoshita Shuichi then swung out the Ame-no-Mura sword and headed straight for Shukaku's eyes.

Shukaku immediately leaped back and fired a volley of training bullets.

At this time, Hoshita Shuichi was in a higher position and did not have to worry about affecting other people in Konoha. A blue lotus bloomed on his body and his figure moved at high speed in the sky, avoiding attacks while getting closer to Shukaku.

"A difficult little devil!"

Shukaku snorted inwardly and allowed Hoshita Shuichi to approach. At the same time, a large amount of chakra gathered in his mouth, and a Tailed Beast Bomb quickly formed, and then it shot towards the Konoha ninjas in front of the Suna Ninja.

In an instant, the grass and trees were shattered wherever the Tailed Beast Bomb passed.

Hoshita Shuichi also completed the Rasenshuriken in the Stroke Style and threw it out to intercept the opponent halfway.

Boom!

A blazing light burst out, like a sun, engulfing the surrounding vegetation, followed by a terrible storm.

A huge open space and a huge pit appeared in the originally dense forest.

And Orochimaru ordered a retreat again.

The same goes for Chiyo, things have gone beyond her expectations.

I originally thought that if Shukaku came out, even Hoshita Shuichi would not be able to stop him, but I never expected that the current battle would not be like a battle between ninjas and tailed beasts, but more like a battle between tailed beasts.

In the air.

After one Wind Release Rasenshuriken, Hoshita Shuichi condensed two more in succession and threw them at Shukaku one after another.

It was already clear from previous attempts that the Fire Dragon's Breath and the Azure Flame Sword Technique were of little use.

Boom! Boom!

The air training bullet and the wind-release

Rasenshuriken collided to form a terrifying storm.

At this moment, both the Konoha ninjas and the Suna Ninjas were stunned.

In the sky, blue lotuses bloomed on Hoshita Shuichi's body, and his body shot out, moving against the storm.

When the storm passed, he swung his hands and a number of Flying Thunder God Kunai flew towards Shukaku.

Shukaku opened his mouth and spit out, but it was not a blank bullet, but a dense mass of sand bullets.

Swish!

Hoshita Shuichi's figure disappeared from the air and appeared next to the Ame-no-Mura sword.

The next moment, both the man and the sword disappeared.

When Hoshita Shuichi appeared again, he was already in front of Shukaku, grabbing the Flying Thunder God Kunai in one hand.

At this moment, Shukaku's claws were about to strike down, catching all the Flying Thunder God Kunai in one fell swoop.

Seeing Hoshita Shuichi appear, Shukaku's eyes widened instantly, and his strength and speed suddenly increased: "Go to hell!"

Crash!

Chains flew out from Hoshita Shuichi's back, one wrapped around Shukaku's claws, one wrapped around Shukaku's head, one wrapped around Shukaku's body, two wrapped around his lower limbs, and the last one wrapped around his tail.

"I can't move!"

"This guy…"

Shukaku's pupils dilated, and he was extremely shocked: "Sealing technique!"

"I can't even use my chakra... How is that possible?"

Hoshita Shuichi gritted his teeth at this moment, sweat broke out on his forehead: "As expected of a complete One-Tail, it is not comparable to a Four-Tail with one tail!"

The Netherworld Fire Chain broke straight, and there was even a crackling sound, as if it would be broken by Shukaku at any time.

Asuka, who was watching the battle from behind, saw this and immediately moved: "Shisui, go!"

Uchiha Shisui immediately followed, and the two of them rushed towards Shukaku at a high speed.

At this moment, Chiyo and others looked at the locked Shukaku in shock, and then they reacted with a start.

"Charge quickly, we must not let Konoha seal the One-Tail!"

Chiyo shouted, ordering the Suna Ninja to charge.

And the moment Asuka and Uchiha Shisui set off, Orochimaru also gave the order to kill the Suna Ninja.

By this time the sky was already bright. Looking from the sky, the Konoha ninjas were like three torrents, avoiding Shukaku and rushing towards the Suna Ninjas.

However, there was only one group of Suna Ninjas, and they went straight to Shukaku.

Soon, the Suna Ninja was cut into two by the Konoha Ninjas on the left and right sides, and then the Suna Ninjas who continued to charge in the front ran into Orochimaru and others.

At the same time, Hoshita Shuichi successively untied the Yin seals on his abdomen and the heart that had never been untied.

Chakra surged, and more chains shot out from Hoshita Shuichi's abdomen and pierced into Shukaku's body.

The next moment, scarlet chakra flowed out of Shukaku's body and poured into Hoshita Shuichi's body along the Netherworld Fire Chain.

He couldn't pull Shukaku out all at once, so he could only drain Shukaku's chakra to make him weaker.

"asshole!"

Shukaku struggled with all his might and even opened his mouth to gather chakra to use the Tailed Beast Bomb, but the terrible pain made it impossible for him to use his chakra.

"Shukaku, give me your power!"

"I'll deal with his sealing technique!"

When the monk Bunpuku's voice sounded, Shukaku immediately gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay!"

Hoshita Shuichi, who was continuously drawing chakra from the One-Tail, frowned. He felt another force in Shukaku's body.

"Sharing the blessings?"

"It's normal that we have reached a cooperation at this time."

Hoshita Shuichi was a little surprised, but then he was relieved.

Shukaku is very smart and is very decisive in admitting defeat.

"This power is also a sealing technique!"

Hoshita Shuichi's eyes focused and saw that the black talismans were connected into a line and crawled up his Netherworld Fire Chain like a black snake, actually blocking the power of his sealing technique and constantly entangled it.

And then, scarlet chakra appeared on the black talisman, and the black talisman immediately shrank.

Snap!

Snap!

The Netherworld Fire Chain cracked!

"What a powerful monk Bunpuku!"

Hoshita Shuichi was secretly surprised, and he raised his right hand, and the wind, fire, light wheel and spiral shuriken quickly condensed.

It was at this moment that the Netherworld Fire Chain was completely broken.

The wind, fire, light wheel and spiral shuriken were thrown out, and Hoshita Shuichi disappeared and appeared next to Asuka who had just arrived.

However, Shukaku used his left claw to block the Wind, Fire, Light Wheel Rasenshuriken, but his left claw was destroyed.

"I'm going to kill you!"

Shukaku was furious, and the Tailed Beast Bomb in his mouth shot out towards Hoshita Shuichi and the other two.

Moreover, after one, Shukaku continued to condense.

Hoshita Shuichi snorted coldly, and the Flying Thunder God technique was launched, swallowing the Tailed Beast Bomb.

On a mountain in the River Country, the Tailed Beast Bomb suddenly appeared and then exploded, causing the mountain to quickly collapse and disintegrate.

Just as Shukaku was about to spit out the second tailed beast, a giant toad fell from the sky and sat on him.

The Tailed Beast Bomb exploded in his mouth, and Shukaku immediately let out a muffled groan of pain.

Gamabunta looked down and said, "This guy is Shukaku..."

He quickly jumped up and landed behind Hoshita Shuichi and the other two with a bang. He lowered his head slightly and asked, "The disciple of Minato?"

"Such a big scene on our first meeting... Shukaku is not an easy guy to deal with."

Hoshita Shuichi quickly apologized: "I'm so sorry to call you here at this time!"

At this time, diamond chains emerged from the ground, trying to lock up Shukaku.

Uchiha Shisui also locked onto Shukaku and cast an illusion, but the illusion was lifted in just a moment.

At the same time, chains formed by black talismans appeared on Shukaku's body, stained with scarlet chakra and flew out, blocking Asuka's Adamantine Sealing Chain.

At this time Shukaku turned his head and opened his mouth to fire training bullets at Orochimaru and the others.

Hoshita Shuichi appeared above Shukaku's head, and then disappeared together, appearing at the border of the River Country.

Boom!

The training air missile was fired, blasting a big hole in the mountain, and the ground shook.

When Shukaku was about to catch Hoshita Shuichi with sand, Hoshita Shuichi5 disappeared from above Shukaku's head and appeared next to Asuka.

"Bunta, please take us to stop that guy Shukaku!"

Hoshita Shuichi brought Asuka and Uchiha Shisui to the top of Gamabunta's head.

"no problem!"

Gamabunta agreed, leaped into the air, and said, "But your body temperature is too high..."

Upon hearing this, Hoshita Shuichi immediately cancelled the Fire Release Chakra Mode.

Just now, his feet were not actually covered.

Gamabunta was very fast and soon he entered the River Country and intercepted Shukaku who was coming back.

The water balls and wind balls expanded and turned into heavy rain falling to the ground.

Shukaku stopped and stared at Gamabunta and Hoshita Shuichi: "Stinky toad!"

Toad Bunta snorted coldly: "You lowly stinking civet cat, you are so embarrassed!"

"Maybe I can kill you today!"

"Stinky Toad, then give it a try!"

Shukaku made some harsh words, but did not act rashly. He just kept waving his tail.

These guys in front of me are not easy to deal with.

While Hoshita Shuichi and Shukaku were confronting each other, on the battlefield in the rear, Chiyo took the risk of turning around and breaking out without hesitation, but was caught by Orochimaru and his army of Konoha ninjas.

After crossing the border, three hundred Konoha ninjas rushed out from the right and cut off the Suna Ninjas in half.

Chiyo reluctantly cut off the rear and continued to retreat with the rest of the people.

Not one of them can be caught!

Orochimaru also continued the pursuit with a part of Konoha ninjas. Although he knew that Hoshita Shuichi had the Flying Thunder God Technique, he absolutely could not let Hoshita Shuichi's team face the One-Tail and the retreating Suna Ninjas alone at this time.

The two sides, one fleeing and the other chasing, soon approached Hoshita Shuichi and the others who were in a standoff.

Seeing that Shukaku was safe and sound, Chiyo immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

However, she did not approach rashly with her men, but quickly passed by and retreated to the west.

Shukaku also moved at this time, opening his mouth and firing air training bullets at Orochimaru and others who were chasing him.

In his hand, Hoshita Shuichi gathered the spiral shuriken of wind and fire and shouted, "Bunta!"

"clear!"

Gamabunta nodded slightly, then opened his mouth and used the Lava iron cannon to block the blank bullets.

At this time, Shukaku opened his mouth and spit out training bullets one after another. Three bullets bombarded in a V-shape, blocking Gamabunta's space.

At this time, Hoshita Shuichi disappeared and appeared above Shukaku's head. After dropping the Wind, Fire, Light Wheel and Rasenshuriken, he returned to Gamabunta's head.

Gamabunta opened his mouth and fired a Lava iron cannon to block a training bullet. Uchiha Shisui had already activated the curse seal and fired a fireball. Hoshita Shuichi cooperated with the earth dragon bullet to block the second training bullet, but the third one was blown up by Asuka's Kongo Block.

On the other side, the expanding fireball had already enveloped Shukaku.

At the same time, Chiyo and other Suna Ninjas who had retreated a distance stopped.

The blazing light faded, and a heat storm swept past. Hoshita Shuichi focused his eyes and saw the melted sand on Shukaku's body fall off, revealing its intact body. Even its previously destroyed forelimbs were restored.

Is it so difficult?

He seems very weak in the original novel Hoshita Shuichi frowned: "Is it because the Jinchūriki and the Tailed Beast have reached a cooperation, almost the same as the Perfect Jinchūriki?"

If the Wind, Fire, Light Wheel Rasenshuriken is useless, then the Lava Release Rasenshuriken is probably useless too.

Even if the curse seal amplification is activated, Shukaku's sand body will probably be able to block it.

It's just like a snake that can shed its skin.

The tailed beasts are something that should be sealed!
