Mist Ninja Headquarters.
The commander in his forties, Hozuki Hozuki, heard the exclamations of his subordinates outside and walked out of the tent. He looked at the towering light column and frowned: "It seems that the Suna Ninja has encountered a strong enemy. Who could it be?"
"Have all the Sannin been dispatched?"
"Or the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"
Then Hozuki Hozuki looked to the other side.
Fortunately, there was no big movement, it seems that no strong enemy was encountered!
"It seems that Konoha is more vigilant against the Suna Village."
Hozuki thought to herself: "This is normal. The Third Hokage of Konoha is not a fool. He would not think that our attack is limited to this one point."
"This is probably considered a feint by Konoha, right?"
"That's good. The more we underestimate it, the weaker Konoha will become."
The direction of the Mist Ninja's attack was in the dense forest.
Blue lightning flashed, roars broke out from time to time, and there were also shrill screams.
A large number of Mist Ninjas were chasing Hoshita Shuichi, but one by one they were easily killed by Hoshita Shuichi with his superb speed and powerful swordsmanship.
Here, because it is a shadow clone, Hoshita Shuichi also adopted a tactic that is completely different from the original body.
He waited until the Mist Ninja troops entered the forest before launching his attack, fighting and retreating all the way, constantly wearing away the Mist Ninja's strength in the process.
Boom!
The water flowed behind him, and Hoshita Shuichi landed and turned around. Immediately, a high wall rose up in front of him, blocking the oncoming water flow.
Then he casually made two seals, opened his mouth and spit out a high-speed stream of water. The two Mist Ninjas who jumped over the high wall were immediately cut in half.
Splash!
The Mist Ninja turned into two streams of water and fell down. In the surging water on both sides, a Mist Ninja appeared on each side and had already completed the seal. Two water dragons rose up and swooped down towards Hoshita Shuichi.
Bang!
Hoshita Shuichi clasped his hands together, and the water vapor around him condensed and rotated at a high speed, and then two water dragons condensed and drilled out, and the electric light on Hoshita Shuichi's body was also injected into the water dragons.
Water Release + Lightning Release - Thunder Water Dragon Bullet!
Boom!
The four water dragons collided, the water exploded, and lightning scattered.
The two Mist Ninjas who performed Water Release immediately retreated into the air, and the Mist Ninjas standing on the trees threw out kunai carrying explosive tags.
But before they could detonate the detonating talisman, blazing white flames suddenly appeared on their bodies.
Fire Release - Unburnt Burning Technique.
However, this technique was not the first time that Hoshita Shuichi used it. The Mist Ninjas immediately put it out with water jutsu.
But Hoshita Shuichi turned into a flash of lightning and easily avoided the flying kunai in a flash.
The two Mist Ninjas standing on the tree were about to retreat, but their bodies suddenly froze, and they stared with wide eyes at Hoshita Shuichi who was approaching.
The wind chakra of his palms flowed at high speed, and when Hoshita Shuichi waved his hands, blood exploded from the necks of the two Mist Ninjas.
Then Hoshita Shuichi continued to flee, and the Mist Ninja chased him, shouting angrily.
wind release, fire release, lightning release, water release, Earth release, illusion, at this moment Hoshita Shuichi used all the common ninjutsu he had learned to the fullest extent.
Their superb speed, terrifying reaction ability, astonishing speed of casting spells, and comprehensive abilities make it useless even if the Mist Ninjas have an absolute advantage in numbers.
Because there is no way to completely surround it.
Moreover, in this forest, Hoshita Shuichi also has the advantage of terrain.
Looking at Hoshita Shuichi fleeing in front, the commander of this unit, Hozuki Metsuon, couldn't help but grit his teeth.
He had fought with Hoshita Shuichi, and if it weren't for the water transformation technique, he would have been almost killed.
Even so, he was restrained because of his lightning release. If he hadn't had so many companions, he would have definitely died earlier.
Now he can only rely on the advantage of numbers to continuously consume this guy's chakra.
"Once we catch this guy, we will make him suffer the most brutal water torture in the world!"
Hozuki Metsuon snorted secretly.
And just at this moment, the light ahead became brighter.
This forest has come to an end!
Hozuki Metsuon's eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted, "Speed up, surround him, and don't let him escape!"
Hoshita Shuichi had already reached the end of the forest.
He suddenly turned around, stood on the branch and clasped his hands together. Water vapor condensed around his body at a high speed, the water flow rotated, and electric light moved.
Immediately afterwards, three water dragons entangled in electric light emerged from the fast-rotating water flow, dragging huge streams of water towards the many pursuing Mist Ninjas.
"spread!"
The Mist Ninja who was rushing in the front had no time to form hand seals, and the lightning water dragon with a diameter of more than ten meters could not be killed by a few detonating tags.
So the Mist Ninjas who were in the front fled in all directions, and the Mist Ninjas who were chasing them from behind quickly formed hand seals, opened their mouths and spit out streams of water, which then exploded and collided with the three lightning water dragons.
Boom!
The water poured down in all directions, spreading rapidly with lightning. Mist ninjas hid in the trees one after another to avoid the water with lightning.
"The last wave... begins!"
Hoshita Shuichi felt his chakra almost running out, and after taking a deep breath, he shot out and glided on the water at high speed.
Water Instant!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
High-pressure water jets shot out one after another, attacking the Mist Ninjas on the trees.
Blood splattered, limbs fell, and screams rang out one after another.
The Mist Ninjas in the trees also fought back, throwing ninja tools, detonating explosive tags, or attacking with ninjutsu, but they were all avoided by Hoshita Shuichi who was gliding at high speed by riding the water.
Moreover, a large number of trees were cut off by the Water Cutting Wave technique and fell down like wheat being cut, and the Mist Ninjas standing on them had to fall down as well.
Zila!
The sound of Chidori's chirping rang out, and lightning burst out from his limbs. Chidori instantly rose up again, and Hoshita Shuichi clasped his hands together. A large number of water droplets floated up from the water under him, with lightning flowing in between, and then shot towards the surrounding Mist Ninjas.
The sky weeps and thunder strikes!
This is a technique based on the Water Release - Sky Crying technique, with the addition of Lightning Release, which makes the water droplets fly faster and have stronger attack power.
Although Hoshita Shuichi had never practiced the Water Release - Sky's Crying Technique before, it was not difficult for him to do it with his chakra control and ability to change his form.
At this moment, it was like a sudden storm, with rain hitting the banana leaves, and the sounds of "pu pu pu pu" were continuous.
The Mist Ninjas who were unable to dodge fell down with convulsions.
Those who were hit in the vital parts were killed instantly, and those who were not hit in the vital parts were paralyzed all over, and fell into the water with a splash without even being able to scream.
In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen Mist Ninjas fell into the water.
At this time, Hozuki Metsuon, who had avoided the thunder of Sky cry, saw that the lightning on Hoshita Shuichi's body dissipated and he stopped on the water. He immediately separated a water clone and performed the instant body technique to appear behind Hoshita Shuichi. He raised his hand and pointed his index finger at the back of Hoshita Shuichi's head.
Water Cannon Technique!
A highly condensed liquid appeared at the tip of his index finger, and Hoshita Shuichi turned around and smiled.
The next moment, Hoshita Shuichi turned into a ball of intense electric light and radiated in all directions.
The water clone of the Hozuki Annihilation Seal was directly pierced by the electric light and turned into a stream of water and fell down. The Mist Ninjas who had just fallen into the water were swept by the electric current, and they twitched again, and wisps of smoke came out.
"Thunder Clone?"
"Impossible, he just used water ninjutsu!"
"Could it be... a shadow clone?"
"Hurry up and find his true form!"
The Mist Ninjas shouted loudly.
The Mist Ninja who was in charge of perception widened his eyes, swallowed and said, "This... this guy is the real body?"
The Kirigakure and the other Mist Ninjas were stunned.
A Mist Ninja asked in disbelief, "So, we have been fighting a shadow clone?"
The Mist Ninja in charge of perception said in a trembling voice: "I'm afraid... I'm afraid so."
In an instant, dozens of Mist Ninjas, including the Hozuki, fell silent.
Hozuki Metsuon glanced at the Mist Ninjas one by one, silently counted their number, and then his heart ached.
41!
41 dead or injured!
And the opponent is just a shadow clone!
This is simplyIt was a little difficult for Hozuki to accept that he had destroyed the seal. His thirty years of ninja career told him that this was absolutely impossible.
It must be that the little brat from Konoha created a shadow clone to attract them, while his real body escaped, but they didn't notice it.
Hozuki Metsuon took a deep breath, suppressed his inner irritation and ordered: "Save people immediately!"
The Mist Ninjas searched around for their surviving companions, and Hozuki Metsuon thought for a moment and asked again, "Does anyone know who this guy is?"
A Mist Ninja heard this and said, "Master Metsuon, this guy is most likely the genius of Konoha, Hoshita Shuichi."
"A guy who is a 6-year-old Chunin and an 11-year-old Jonin!"
Hozuki Metsuon frowned: "Is it him?"
It's not that he didn't know the name Hoshita Shuichi, but the guy just now didn't look like a kid of eleven or twelve years old.
"Hoshita Shuichi, he's the only one of similar age!"
"This guy is wanted by the Rock and Suna Ninjas!"
Hozuki Metsuon nodded and shouted, "Then remember this guy!"
"Sooner or later, he will have to pay the price for his dead companions!"
Many Mist Ninjas immediately became excited and responded by drinking.
Then Hozuki Metsuon gave another order: "Shuichiun, you must return to the base camp immediately and report the situation here to Lord Xin Yue!"
The young Mist Ninja named Shuiyun immediately took the order and turned away.
At the Suna Ninja headquarters, after listening to the report from his subordinates who had gone to investigate the situation and came back to report, Chiyo suddenly stood up and the other Suna Ninja jonin in the tent were also extremely shocked.
"All...all dead?"
The Suna Ninja who came back to report was pale: "There are no living people on the battlefield, and the corpses are all incomplete. It seems to be a terrible fire attack."
"But after a rough count, except for the infiltration team, including Lord Feirian, they were all... killed in the battle!"
"And, based on the traces of the battlefield, it is very likely that there is only that Hoshita Shuichi."
"And that guy hasn't left yet..."
Upon hearing this, Chiyo couldn't help but clench her fists, and her knuckles turned white.
A hundred people were completely wiped out, and it was very likely destroyed by one person. This is simplyChiyo took a deep breath to calm herself down and shouted, "Disband camp immediately!"
"All troops move!"
Several jonin were immediately shocked when they heard this: "Master Chiyo, this..."
Chiyo raised her hand to stop the person who was about to speak, and said in a deep voice: "Our intentions are already very clear."
"Of course, this is nothing. Konoha has been prepared for this."
"The key is how many people should we send to cross the River Country and investigate Konoha's border defense situation?"
"There is only one way now, and that is to move the army closer to the border of Konoha and compress the depth of Konoha."
"Even if we have to fight an intelligence war, we will reduce consumption."
"Now Konoha is obviously going to turn the River Country into a battlefield that will weaken us layer by layer."
Many Suna Ninjas were silent after hearing this, and then one of them asked, "That guy named Hoshita Shuichi, Master Chiyo is leading the puppet army, aren't you sure you can take him down?"
Chiyo glanced coldly at the person who spoke: "Even if it was me, there is absolutely no way I could face hundreds of elite troops intact, even with the puppet troops. It's impossible."
"Also, do you think I can defeat the Third Kazekage by leading the puppet army?"
Many Suna Ninjas were stunned. They didn't expect that Chiyo, the Third Kazekage, would be compared with that kid from Konoha, and they regarded that guy as a person of the same level as the Third Kazekage.
Chiyo shouted, "You must understand that this youngest jonin in Konoha, or even in the ninja world, has already surpassed the scope of ordinary ninjas."
"Even the White Fang of Konoha back then didn't have such abilities as him!"
After that, Chiyo gave another order: "Inform the Mist Ninja of our decision. I think their losses will not be small."
"We all underestimated Konoha!"
In the forest, Hoshita Shuichi, who was resting, received memory feedback from his shadow clone.
"With the support of the Yin Seal, I can indeed be considered to have departed from the ranks of regular ninjas."
"Without the Yin Seal's chakra, I don't have the chakra to perform Flame Release and Fire Release chakra modes, and I have no way to bring out all my abilities."
"So, the root of everything is still chakra and physique..."
"But if I don't have the Yin Seal's chakra, I can perform ninjutsu without any seals, and my comprehensive abilities... I also have the strength of an elite jonin, and an all-rounder at that."
Hoshita Shuichi secretly evaluated: "And all of them..."
"I am invincible below the Kage level, and one for one above the Kage level?"
Hoshita Shuichi felt a little happy.
If you compare him with Uchiha Itachi who is of the same age and has opened the Mangekyō, he won't be bad either.
Even Uchiha Itachi's Susanoo did not pose a threat to him, nor did Amaterasu, but the most dangerous one was Tsukuyomi.
And he didn't use his full strength just now.
The Fire Mystery Seal is useless, and the Wind Release Rasenshuriken, Wind and Fire Wheel Rasenshuriken, and Lava Release Rasenshuriken are all useless.
"not enough!"
"It's not enough..."
Hoshita Shuichi restrained his little pleasure.
How can he suppress Otsutsuki Kaguya without stepping on the Sage of Six Paths?
His goal should be the sea of stars !
And Uchiha Madara who likes to dance is still intubated, right?
He can control the Mist Ninja to transplant the Three-Tails into Nohara Rin's body and set a curse seal, which means he can still move.
"Are you wearing the biological armor of White Zetsu to stay alive?"
Hoshita Shuichi's thoughts drifted far away.
In other words, the person he fears most in the ninja world right now is Uchiha Madara, who is on the verge of death.
Nagato's Rinnegan is very powerful, but it is still too immature now.
Thinking of these people, Hoshita Shuichi became more motivated.
At present, this achievement is really insignificant.
When I can fight against the Allied Ninja Forces single-handedly like Uchiha Madara, that would be considered acceptable.
When we can catch the tailed beasts as pets, we can finally have a go.
After collecting his thoughts, Hoshita Shuichi created a shadow clone and performed the Flying Thunder God Technique to go towards Pakura and the others.
The war is far from over!
