Talent Tree Ninja: I Can Upgrade My Abilities

Shinnobi Bridge.

Lava Release - Rasenshuriken directly melted two-thirds of the bridge. The middle part of the bridge looked like it had been bitten by a giant beast, leaving a huge gap.

It has to be said that the Iwa Ninja's defense did achieve a certain effect.

This prevented Hoshita Shuichi's technique from achieving perfect results.

However, taking advantage of the storm, Hoshita Shuichi broke through at high speed from the air, and before the Iwagakure could react, he arrived under the bridge from the location where the Rasenshuriken exploded.

"Stop him!"

"Don't let him completely burn the bridge!"

One by one, the Iwagakure ninjas shouted and pounced on Hoshita Shuichi.

Now I can use the Earth Release technique to repair it and make it usable.

Hoshita Shuichi's figure flashed, and he slapped the bridge pillar, and a detonating talisman appeared.

This was not something he carried with him, but was directly communicated with by spirit.

An Iwagakure ninja saw the detonating talisman, immediately formed a seal, opened his mouth and blew, and a storm swept in.

Hoshita Shuichi dodged and saw that detonating talismans were summoned out one after another next to him. The first one had already started to explode, and then one after another exploded.

Multiplying Detonating Talisman!

A series of explosions spread out, abruptly blowing off a bridge pillar, and the shock wave collided with the storm, then exploded and scattered.

Swish, swish, swish!

A large number of attacks came whistling, blocking every direction of Hoshita Shuichi.

At the same time, on the other side of the Land of Grass, Kakashi and Uchiha Obito appeared.

"It's Shuichi!"

"He's under siege!"

Uchiha Obito exclaimed.

"Support him!"

Kakashi shouted softly and was about to jump up, but the wound in his abdomen caused him to stagger due to the sharp pain.

Uchiha Obito quickly supported him: "You stay, I will go to support Shuichi!"

"No!"

Hoshita Shuichi's voice rang in the ears of the two men, and his figure appeared beside Kakashi.

On the other side of the bridge, all of the Iwa Ninja's attacks missed.

"There!"

"Konoha has reinforcements!"

"Chase!"

The Iwa Ninjas shouted loudly, and then used the body-switching technique to chase after them.

Looking at the chasing Iwagakure, Hoshita Shuichi said: "Obito, take Kakashi and retreat. I am just a clone."

"Also, retreat the same way you came!"

Uchiha Obito nodded quickly: "I understand."

As he said this, he helped Kakashi retreat.

Hoshita Shuichi looked back at the two people's backs and smiled slightly.

It seemed that something had happened that he didn't know about, and the two of them were a little different.

Looking back, Hoshita Shuichi also slowly retreated, attracting the Iwagakure to continue chasing him.

He doesn't have much chakra left now, and attracting the attention of the Iwa Ninjas is the best option to prevent these people from chasing Kakashi and Obito.

at the same time.

On the front battlefield, with the appearance of Hoshita Shuichi, one Iwa Ninja squad after another retreated, and then continued to gather together, and the depth of their engagement with the Konoha Suna Ninja coalition was gradually lost.

However, when it comes to coordination, the Iwagakure ninjas are indeed very good. Although they were forced to retreat continuously, they were very good at changing the terrain and slowing down the attacks of Konoha and Suna Ninjas. Even when they were retreating, they did not collapse.

The only thing they were facing was the team led by Hoshita Shuichi, they were completely unable to resist.

Because no matter how strong the defense is, it is useless in front of Hoshita Shuichi.

…

At night, Konoha and Suna Ninja stopped their attack.

Hoshita Shuichi also received the message from Orochimaru and returned to the base camp.

"The Grass Ninja leader is dead, and Shirazu is his successor. They have completely sided with us, and will participate in the battle against the Iwa Ninja in the future."

Seeing Hoshita Shuichi coming in, Orochimaru went straight to the point.

Hoshita Shuichi nodded, not surprised at all.

Because this is the only choice for Kusanagi.

If he follows the Iwagakure ninja, he will be the first to destroy the Kusagakure ninja.

But Shirazu became the new leader of the Kusagakure Village?

Interesting!

However, Hoshita Shuichi did not take it seriously and asked, "Lord Orochimaru probably didn't ask me to come back for such a small matter, right?"

Orochimaru nodded, "Of course."

"You have already captured the Four-Tails. According to the old man's arrangement, you have to rush to the Kumogakure battlefield."

Hoshita Shuichi heard this and asked, "Where's Minato-sensei?"

Orochimaru said: "We should still be in the Kiri Ninja Battlefield."

Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "Understood, I will leave tomorrow."

The situation in the Land of Grass has been determined. Unless Onoki comes in person or mobilizes five, six, or even seven or eight thousand heavy troops, it will be impossible for the Iwagakure to defend the Land of Grass.

However, the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen transferred him away not necessarily just to fight against the AB combination, but probably also intended to prevent him from confronting the third generation Tsuchikage Ōnoki.

At this time, Orochimaru asked: "Shuichi-kun, do you think the old man will negotiate with the Iwagakure?"

Hoshita Shuichi thought for a moment and shook his head, "It depends on the situation of the Kumo ninja and the Kiri Ninja."

"If we negotiate with the Iwa Ninja alone, it would be tantamount to betraying our ally, the Suna Ninja."

"Even if we want to negotiate, we must do it together with the Suna Ninja. We have to wait for the Suna Ninja to invade the Bird Country and force the Iwa Ninja to give up some of the Bird Country's interests."

"Win-win is the only way for the alliance to go long-term."

Of course, what Hoshita Shuichi didn't say was: If you don't let Suna Ninja eat some meat, how can you let him bite people in the future?

However, Orochimaru understood this meaning and said with a smile: "The Suna Ninja is like a wolf. Not only do we need to be strong enough to suppress him, but we also need to throw him a piece of meat to feed him."

"Shuichi-kun, you must be a good animal trainer."

Hoshita Shuichi shook his head: "Training a summoning beast is already very tiring, this is something the Hokage should consider."

"Lord Orochimaru, I will go to the medical squad then."

Orochimaru nodded and watched Hoshita Shuichi leave, but he was also secretly savoring the deep meaning of what the latter had just said.

Hoshita Shuichi had no idea that just a casual remark from him would make Orochimaru think deeply. Since Sarutobi Hiruzen transferred him to the Kumo ninja battlefield, he didn't need to think so much.

When they arrived at the medical team, Hoshita Shuichi found Kakashi first.

"Shuichi!"

Seeing Hoshita Shuichi, Uchiha Obito and Kakashi both greeted him.

Hoshita Shuichi smiled and asked, "How is the injury?"

Kakashi said: "Basically there is no problem, no internal organs were damaged."

Uchiha Obito smiled and said, "It was Lord Nono who did it himself, so there must be no problem."

Hoshita Shuichi nodded, looked at Uchiha Obito, and congratulated him with a smile: "Obito, congratulations on opening the Sharingan!"

Uchiha Obito scratched his head in embarrassment after hearing this: "Well, you figured it out!"

He was thinking about how to show it off!

Hoshita Shuichi laughed: "I am a perception ninja, of course I can sense that your chakra is different from before."

"Huh?"

Uchiha Obito was stunned for a moment: "Is that so?"

"Is my chakra different?"

Hoshita Shuichi nodded and explained briefly: "The opening of the Sharingan is almost always caused by mental stimulation, which leads to changes in the chakra, causing changes in the optic nerves and eyes, resulting in the opening of the eyes and the improvement of the magatama."

"Well, you can regard it as a change in the nature of Yin Release."

Uchiha Obito was confused when he heard this: "Um...Shuichi, why do I feel like you know more about the Sharingan than Uchiha?"

Kakashi was also very curious.

Hoshita Shuichi shook his head: "It's not that I know more about the Sharingan than Uchiha, but I have a deeper understanding of the changes in nature."

"And don't forget, Shisui is my companion, and he has opened the three magatama."

Uchiha Obito suddenly realized: "I see, Brother Shisui is indeed very powerful, and is a famous genius in the clan."

Patting Uchiha Obito on the shoulder, Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said, "Obito, you are not bad either. Keep it up."

"And Kakashi, take good care of your injuries. I'm going to the Kumo ninja next."

Kumo ninja?

The two were stunned, and Kakashi asked, "Have we won yet?"

Hoshita Shuichi shook his head: "I have gained the upper hand, but it's not that easy to win."

"Don't worry, I guess Minato-sensei will be here soon."

After saying that, without any further explanation, Hoshita Shuichi waved his hand and left. He also had to say goodbye to Yakushi Nono and the others.

After watching Shuichi leave, Uchiha Obito suddenly asked, "Kakashi, when do you think I can be as powerful as Shuichi? I heard that he has captured the Four-Tails from the Iwa Ninja!"

He had no idea what the tailed beasts were before, but today he knew.

Kakashi thought about it seriously and said, "You should surpass Uchiha Shisui first!"

Uchiha Obito snorted after hearing this: "I will surpass you first, you arrogant guy!"

"Kakashi, I am different now that I have the Sharingan. If you don't work hard, you will be defeated by me in the future."

Kakashi spoke venomously: "I heard that the Sharingan's illusion is the most powerful, why don't you practice your illusion first!"

Uchiha Obito's face fell when he heard this.

He was a well-known idiot in illusion techniques!Therefore, from the ninja school till now, he had been practicing the technique of the Great Fireball and physical techniques.

"Who said that the Sharingan must use genjutsu?"

Uchiha Obito defended: "The Sharingan has a powerful insight ability. It can see through the enemy's movements and the flow of the enemy's chakra."

"Hmph, you arrogant Kakashi, you don't understand the power of the Sharingan at all."

…

At night, in Iwagakure Village, the Tsuchikage office is brightly lit.

Onoki's face was gloomy.

Because not only was the Kannabi Bridge destroyed, but even the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Roshi, was missing.

But considering the fate of One Tail, it is not difficult to guess that Roshi has been killed by the kid named Hoshita Shuichi.

In other words, the Hidden Iwagakure has lost the Four-Tails!

This is hard for Onoki to accept!

In his opinion, the Four-Tail is much more powerful than the One-Tail.

And Roshi's control over the power of the tailed beasts is not comparable to that of the Jinchuriki of the Sunagakure. In addition, knowing the information about Hoshita Shuichi, he made preparations in advance, but he did not expect that the result would be the same as that of the Sunagakure.

"Pass the news to the front line, and I will rush there myself tomorrow!"

After a moment's contemplation, Onoki decided.

Kitsuchi opened his mouth but couldn't say anything to persuade him. He nodded and turned around to make arrangements.

…

A night passed in a flash, and when Hoshita Shuichi set off for the Kumo ninja battlefield, Ōnoki was also ready to leave, accompanied by his son Kitsuchi.

However, as soon as the two of them walked out of the Tsuchikage Building, an Iwa Ninja suddenly appeared and blocked their way.

"Lord Third Tsuchikage, there is an emergency at the border. The Third Raikage of the Kumogakure is personally leading a large army to launch a surprise attack. I'm afraid they have already breached the border defense line."

Ōnoki and Kouga were both shocked.

The Third Raikage personally leads the attack!

Are you crazy?

Moreover, the Kumo Ninja is still attacking Konoha, and they are attacking them at this time.

"hateful..."

Onoki gritted his teeth and said, "The Third Raikage, that bastard, actually..."

Kitsuchi was a little confused: "Why would the Third Raikage attack us at this time? Could it be that they want to eat up the interests of small countries such as the Frost Country, the Field Country, and the Moon Country?"

Onoki snorted, "These warlike fellows are ambitious, but that's all they have."

"Seeing that we were being besieged by both the Suna Ninja and Konoha at the same time, he thought he could take advantage."

After saying that, he turned back to the Tsuchikage Building and ordered, "Kitsuchi, you go to the Grass Country in person and have them withdraw to the border of the Earth Country for defense."

"Also in the Land of Birds, be on guard against the Suna Ninja. If the Kumo ninja makes a move, the Fourth Kazekage will definitely not be able to hold back."

"If you can't stop it, retreat temporarily!"

Kitsuchi nodded immediately after hearing this, turned around and set out.

After Onoki returned to the Tsuchikage's office, he issued a series of mobilization orders to recruit ninjas.

"The Third Raikage, you fool, actually dared to invade the Land of Earth. I must teach you a lesson!"

Onoki stared at the map, constantly giving orders and mobilizing troops.

…

Just as Konoha and the Suna Ninja were winning victory after victory in the Land of Grass, the reputation of Konoha's yellow flash in the Kiri Ninja battlefield was also spreading rapidly.

Namikaze Minato rushed from one battlefield to another, and wherever he went, the Kiri Ninjas were defeated.

It can't be stopped. It's totally unstoppable.

The Flying Thunder God Technique cannot be defended against without getting close to the Flying Thunder God Kunai.

And Namikaze Minato's use of the Flying Thunder God Technique is far more sophisticated than Hoshita Shuichi's.

With just one throw of the Flying Thunder God Kunai, he can dominate the battlefield alone!

Because no one can always guard against the approach of Flying Thunder God Kunai, not to mention that even without Flying Thunder God, Namikaze Minato's instant body movement technique is also top-notch.

In just one day, the Kiri Ninja front was broken three times. This efficiency is much higher than that of Hoshita Shuichi's clone.

Previously, Hoshita Shuichi's shadow clone also roamed the battlefield with Pakura, making it difficult for the Kiri Ninja to advance, and they retreated after repeated setbacks.

Afterwards, it was Karatachi Yagura who personally led a group of elite soldiers to stare at Hoshita Shuichi's shadow clone and Pakura, and only then was the situation curbed.

But Hoshita Shuichi didn't dare let his shadow clone exist for too long, especially at such a long distance, so he had already canceled it.

Now that Namikaze Minato has arrived, the situation has changed drastically.

Karutagi Yagura, who was proficient in Water Release, had to retreat and suffered heavy losses in his elite troops.

For three consecutive days, the Kiri Ninja retreated again and again. In the east, they withdrew from the continent, and in the south, they retreated into small countries such as the Tea Kingdom on the peninsula, but were completely driven out of the territory of the Fire Kingdom.

…

The situation in the ninja world changed, but Hoshita Shuichi took Uchiha Shisui and Asuka and spent a day and a half traveling directly from the Grass Country to the Kumo ninja battlefield in the north of the Fire Country.

After resting for a night in the rear, Hoshita Shuichi and his two companions arrived at the front line early the next morning.

"Shuichi, you're finally here!"

"Sir Shuichi!"

"That's great! Shuichi-sama is here. Now the Kumo Ninja won't be able to act so arrogant anymore!"

…

The appearance of Hoshita Shuichi made many Konoha ninjas excited and their morale instantly became high.

Although he has not returned to the village for a long time, Hoshita Shuichi's achievements on the front line are constantly reported back to Konoha, which is inspiring.

Recently, he has surpassed commanders like Jiraiya and Orochimaru, and is considered by many Konoha ninjas to be the strongest contender for the fifth Hokage.

There may not even be one, I'm afraid there will be calls for the Fourth Hokage to appear.

At this time, the front-line commander of the Kumo ninja Battlefield was Konoha's senior jonin, Mimura Hamagaki. He was originally the commander of the Fire Country's western border defense force, but after Orochimaru led his troops north, he was transferred to the Kumo ninja Battlefield.

So I am not unfamiliar with this Hoshita Shuichi.
