Talent Tree Ninja: I Can Upgrade My Abilities

After listening to Meimura Yejuan's introduction to the situation on the Kumo ninja battlefield, Hoshita Shuichi almost understood the strategic goal of the Kumo ninja this time.

Those are the small countries in the north of the Land of Fire that have no ninja villages, such as the Land of Rice and the Land of the Moon, which have always handed over all tasks to Konoha.

Of course, the Kumo ninja's appetite goes far beyond this, they also want to bite off a piece of meat from the Fire Nation.

But Konoha's resistance was very tough. After retreating to the territory of the Land of Fire, they managed to withstand three waves of fierce attacks from the Kumo ninjas, bringing the battle to a stalemate.

But according to intelligence, when the war was at a stalemate, the Kumo ninjas were in close contact with the daimyos of small countries in order to create a de facto sphere of influence.

The Kumo ninjas obviously wanted to fill their stomachs by eating the broth from small countries like the Land of Rice, regardless of whether they could get a bite of meat from the Land of Fire in the future.

Among the Kumo ninjas, the one that gives Konoha the most headaches is the AB combination.

A Jinchūriki, a powerful lightning ninja with extreme speed and tailed beast-level chakra.

This combination is just like Hoshita Shuichi and Namikaze Minato against the Suna Ninja, the Iwa Ninja, and the Kiri Ninja. They are helpless and can only be contained by numbers and the tacit cooperation of the ninjas.

But the losses were also heavy.

Whether it is the name of Killer Bee or the name of Lightning Release Chakra Mode, they are both worthy of their names.

After figuring out what was going on, Hoshita Shuichi said, "Senior Yeju, let me deal with the AB combination. I have fought with them in the Tang Ninja Village before."

Mimura Yeju nodded, but warned: "The Third Hokage transferred you from the Land of Grass for them, but even if there is a chance to take down the Eight-Tails, it is best not to do so."

"This is the consideration of the Third Hokage."

"Since you are here, it means you have captured the Four-Tails of the Iwa Ninja. Once you capture the Eight-Tails, both you and the village will face tremendous pressure."

Hoshita Shuichi laughed when he heard this: "Senior, the Eight-Tails is not easy to take away. After all, there is a candidate for Raikage beside him."

In terms of chakra, the Eight-Tails is second only to the Nine-Tails.

Not to mention the combat power, just based on the point of the Tail-Breaking Stand, Hoshita Shuichi knew that it would be extremely difficult to defeat it.

Not to mention that there is also a future Fourth Raikage who dares to compete with Flying Thunder God in speed.

Of course, if given the chance, he would not hesitate and would take down the Eight-Tails.

As for the pressure, at worst I could return half of it, and by the way, I could exchange some things from the Kumo ninjas.

"Shuichi, there are two very powerful chakras approaching!"

Asuka suddenly spoke up to remind her.

Hoshita Shuichi immediately used the listening technique, and then smiled and said: "AB combination is here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a whistle was heard from the front.

This is the Konoha ninja in front delivering the message.

"It's coming!"

Mimura Yeju jumped up: "Let's go!"

Hoshita Shuichi and the other two jumped up and followed.

A moment later, Hoshita Shuichi, who came to the front of many Konoha ninjas, saw his old rival.

"That guy in the Ninja Village..."

Killer Bee's eyes fixed behind his sunglasses, and Ai immediately stared at Hoshita Shuichi: "You are the Blue Flash of Konoha, Hoshita Shuichi?"

Hoshita Shuichi nodded slightly: "We meet again."

"Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, and Ai, the son of the Third Raikage."

Inside Killer Bee, the Eight-Tailed Ushio-ghost warned: "Bee, be careful with this guy, he is very dangerous, even more dangerous than last time."

"Besides, I sensed a strong malicious intent from this guy."

Killer Bee nodded and said, "It is said that he took the One-Tail from the Suna Ninja. Could it be that he also took the Four-Tail from the Iwa Ninja, so he appeared here?"

"Can you sense the One-Tail and the Four-Tail?"

Eight Tail said: "No, it is sealed off, so it is not that easy to sense."

"In short, you have to be very careful with him!"

This comes from his instinctive intuition!

At this moment, Ai thought of the embarrassment and defeat last time and was full of fighting spirit. He shouted, "Everyone, don't move. Let Bi and I deal with this guy!"

Killer Bee's strange tone followed: "Hoshita Shuichi, this time my brother and I will definitely deal with you, bastard, idiot!"

Hoshita Shuichi heard it and smiled: "This is exactly what I want to say."

As soon as he finished speaking, his right hand had already wiped away the ninja tool bag, and with a wave of his hand, a large number of Flying Thunder God Kunai scattered out.

On the other side, the Third Raikage's son Ai also exuded a strong lightning chakra, and his entire body seemed to be enveloped in lightning.

And unlike the last time Hoshita Shuichi saw him in the Hot Sprigs Ninja Village, Ai was now wearing cylindrical arm guards on both of his arms.

This outfit was very similar to the impression Hoshita Shuichi had of him.

As soon as he thought about it, lightning burst out from his limbs, thousands of birds chirped, and then lightning wrapped around his whole body.

At this moment, both the Konoha ninja and the Kumo ninja were shocked.

Especially the Kumo ninja, the appearance of Hoshita Shuichi at this moment is very similar to the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

"So you are also proficient in Lightning Release."

"Let's see who is faster!"

Ai snorted coldly, and then he rushed towards Hoshita Shuichi like a ball of lightning.

Hoshita Shuichi swung his hand casually, and the Flying Thunder God Kunai, which was blessed with Wind and Fire Release Chakra, flew out.

Ai, who was moving at high speed, just turned his head slightly to avoid it.

But the next moment, Hoshita Shuichi disappeared from his sight, appeared behind him, and slashed down with the Ama-no-katana in his right hand.

Ai was shocked.

Almost at the same time, Killer Bee behind also took action. An octopus tail swam out silently, but was locked by the diamond chain that drilled out from the ground.

It's Asuka.

And Uchiha Shisui, who was beside Asuka, had also opened his Sharingan and cast an illusion on Killer Bee.

"Compare!"

In the spiritual world, the cow ghost knocked on Killer Bee's head to wake him up.

Uchiha Shisui was secretly surprised: "As expected of a perfect Jinchūriki, his reaction speed is amazing. I don't have time to control them all at once."

"Besides, the Eight-Tails is much more powerful."

He had barely been able to control the One-Tail and the One-Tail Jinchuriki before, but now he was unable to control both Killer Bee and the Eight-Tail in one go.

But even with just a momentary interference from Asuka and Uchiha Shisui, Ai lost his support.

Boom!

Ai's tall body rolled and flew out, but he bounced up in an instant and returned to the Kumo ninja in a few flashes.

However, in a place that many Konoha ninjas could not see, there was a charred sword mark on Ai's back.

The Kumo ninja behind couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"This guy... actually hurt Ai with just one move!"

"That's a sword technique that combines wind jutsu and fire jutsu. This guy can actually use wind jutsu and lightning jutsu at the same time!"

"No wonder Lord Raikage gave the order to retreat if we see him!"

…

A Kumo Ninja shouted, "Ai, should we retreat?"

Ai said in a deep voice: "No need, this little injury is nothing."

"I already know his moves!"

Then he asked Killer Bee: "Bee, are you okay?"

Killer Bee stared at Asuka and nodded: "Sealing technique and Sharingan, bastard, idiot, this is specifically aimed at me!"

"But this won't be a problem for Killer Bee Eight-Tailed Killer Bee Master, you idiot, you bastard!"

As he spoke, the octopus pulled hard with its tail and actually broke the diamond chain.

Asuka was shocked: "This guy is indeed a perfect Jinchūriki. And the power of the Eight-Tails is much stronger than the Four-Tails and the One-Tails."

Uchiha Shisui said: "And they are all very familiar with how to deal with the Sharingan. They are indeed tough opponents!"

On the other side, after making sure that Killer Bee was okay, Ai shouted, "Bee, be careful of those two guys. I'll deal with that brat Hoshita Shuichi!"

As he said this, he glanced at the Flying Thunder God Kunai and asked, "Can you instantly move to where these Kunai are?"

"Then, as long as I keep an eye on these places and be careful of his kunai and even the sword in his hand, that will be fine."

"Let's see who can attack faster and more accurately!"

Thinking of this, Ai shouted and rushed towards Hoshita Shuichi again.

Hoshita Shuichi stood still and waited for Ai to arrive in front of him before he threw up the Flying Thunder God Kunai in his left hand.

With a flash of his figure, Hoshita Shuichi appeared on a tree, and then flashed again.

But Ai was already prepared. He turned around, raised his left arm, and used the arm guard to block the Ame-no-Murasakishita that was slashing down by Hoshita Shuichi, while his right hand smashed towards Hoshita Shuichi.

This is a lose-lose situation, and it may even be a matter of life and death.

At the same time, Killer Bee attacked again, but all eight octopus tails moved out together.

Asuka's Adamantine Sealing Chain only locked seven of the tails, and one octopus tail went straight to Hoshita Shuichi.

When the illusion was useless, Uchiha Shisui activated the curse seal and a huge fireball was blasted towards Ai from his mouth.

Swish!

Hoshita Shuichi disappeared, making Killer Bee's attack miss.

The moment Hoshita Shuichi disappeared, Ai turned around and swept his right arm, which collided with Uchiha Shisui's fireball with a bang and actually blew it up. The fireball exploded and scattered in all directions.

Then Ai turned around and rushed to Hoshita Shuichi who had moved to a tree at the fastest speed

At this time, Hoshita Shuichi changed to Fire Chakra Mode, because he really had no advantage over Lightning Chakra Mode.

Azure Flame Waterfall sword!

This time, Hoshita Shuichi raised his sword and slashed, and the huge sword of light chopped down with force.

This was once again beyond Ai's expectations, and he quickly raised his arms to block it.

Boom!

The air was surging, and Ai's legs were chopped off by the sword and sunk into the ground, but he blocked it with his lightning armor and a pair of arm guards.

Before Killer Bee's octopus tail arrived, Hoshita Shuichi disappeared again and appeared on the other side. A dragon head appeared on his shoulder and two beams of light shot out.

Breath of fire dragon.

Snap!

Killer Bee once again broke the two Adamantine Sealing Chains, one tail wrapped around Ai, and the other tail went straight for Hoshita Shuichi.

At the same time, three Uchiha Shisui appeared on the left and right sides of Killer Bee and behind him, stabbed out with their short swords, but suddenly stopped.

Because almost at the same time, Killer Bee also had three knives stopped in front of him.

One in each hand, and the other was held by an octopus tail, hanging behind the head of one of Uchiha Shisui.

"Let's stab together!"

Killer Bee said coldly: "Since it is a war, I have already realized it!"

Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but praise: "As expected of Killer Bee!"

The next moment, Uchiha Shisui's figure disappeared, and after a few flashes, he returned to Asuka's side.

And Hoshita Shuichi also avoided the sudden attack of Killer Bee's tail and returned to Konoha.

On the other side, the octopus tail that Killer Bee used to block Ai was cut off by the Fire Dragon's Breath.

But it was precisely because of this clang that Ai avoided the breath of the fire dragon.

In the second confrontation, the AB combination was at a disadvantage again.

Team Shuichi wins!

"These three guys are really difficult to deal with, bastards and idiots!"

Killer Bee's forehead was covered with sweat.

His sense of pain was connected to the Eight-Tails, and having one tail cut off felt similar to having one of his legs cut off.

Ai also stepped back: "Bee, how are you?"

Killer Bee was still full of fighting spirit: "Brother, there is no problem at all."

"However, it seems that we need to give our all to these three guys!"

Just then, a voice came from behind the Kumo ninja.

A Kumo Ninja yelled, "Ai, Bee, Dodai, notify us to retreat!"

Ai was a little unwilling, but still shouted: "I know!"

He stared at Hoshita Shuichi and said, "If you dare to plot against the Eight-Tails, I will never let you go!"

Hoshita Shuichi's eyes narrowed: "I will not let anyone who dares to plot against Konoha go."

"So, you'd better withdraw your troops, otherwise I don't mind killing a few more people."

"To be honest, as a medical ninja, I'm in dire need of corpses for research."

"After all, it is very immoral to kill people specifically for research."

"But if it's to kill the invaders, then it's just a waste of resources."

These words immediately made Ai furious: "This bastard... damn it!"

Killer Bee snorted coldly: "You are such a shameless bastard and idiot!"

Hoshita Shuichi chuckled: "I'm doing this for the advancement of medical technology in the entire ninja world."

"Of course, as the party that contributed the corpse, Kumogakure will also have some credit!"

Ai was completely enraged: "Evil little devil, I'll get rid of you now!"

"Compare!"

With a shout, Ai rushed out again.

Hoshita Shuichi looked at Ai who was rushing towards him, and the Netherworld Fire Chain suddenly activated, drilled out from the ground, and grabbed Ai who was moving at high speed. His body also shot out suddenly, accompanied by the sound of the chain being pulled, and the Ame-no-Murasaki Sword went straight for Ai.

Uchiha Shisui and Asuka also took action together.

The former is an illusion, then the fireball technique, and the latter is the Adamantine Sealing Chain.

Swish, swish, swish!

Tails wrapped in the chakra of the tailed beasts shot out, accompanied by the sound of explosions and the sound of chains breaking. Ai was swept away by the tails, and the place where he stood was already a big pit.

Hoshita Shuichi's attack missed and he immediately retreated.

"As expected of the future Fourth Raikage..."

Hoshita Shuichi sighed secretly.

Just now, his Netherworld Fire Chains failed to completely control Ai, and he broke free.

Of course, even that little time was enough.

Unfortunately, Asuka and Uchiha Shisui were unable to completely restrain Killer Bee even when they joined forces, allowing Killer Bee to pull Ai away at the critical moment.

The reason why Hoshita Shuichi tried to deal with Ai first was because this guy was too fast and Uchiha Shisui with three magatama couldn't limit him.

Asuka's combat experience may not be enough to control Ai, so it will be impossible for him to deal with Killer Bee.

"Brother, these three guys are too difficult to deal with, let's retreat first!"

Killer Bee said.

Ai, who almost suffered a loss again, nodded, and then led the Kumo ninjas to retreat.

After this retreat, all the Konoha ninjas smiled.

"As expected of the Blue Flash, it directly suppressed the AB combination."

"What an amazing fight!"

"Now the Kumo ninja can't be so arrogant anymore!"

"That's right, we will definitely win this war!"

"By the way, when Minato Jonin comes, the Yellow Flash and Blue Flash master and apprentice should be able to deal with the AB combination together, right?"

The Konoha ninjas were talking among themselves, and their morale soared.

Hoshita Shuichi turned around and said to Mimura Yeju: "Senior, we can move the battle line forward."

Mimura Yeju nodded, and then said with emotion: "It turned out that the Sandaime was right to let you come!"

The three-man team of Hoshita Shuichi alone is enough to defeat hundreds of Konoha ninjas.

…

Sunagakure, Kazekage's office.

When Hoshita Shuichi's shadow clone met the Fourth Kazekage Rasa again, he got straight to the point: "The Kumo ninja has already invaded the Land of Earth, and... it was the Third Raikage who personally led the attack."

"Lord Kazekage, this is the best opportunity for the Sunagakure!"

After saying that, Hoshita Shuichi exploded into a ball of smoke and disappeared.
