"Captain, you can help me with the raid later. This is a good opportunity for me to test out the new technique I developed earlier!"
After the perception ended, Hoshita Shuichi spoke.
Under the mask, Sarutobi Shinnosuke's eyes narrowed: "Is it the same technique from late last year?"
Last year, Hoshita Shuichi was in a coma for two days and two nights due to developing a new technique. He and Chihiro went to visit him, so they knew a little about the situation.
Considering the strength and fighting style shown by Hoshita Shuichi in the previous battle with the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded: "Okay, I'll help you!"
"But don't be stubborn!"
Hoshita Shuichi chuckled: "Don't worry, Captain, I cherish my life very much!"
After handing the mask to Sarutobi Shinnosuke, Hoshita Shuichi took off his hood and waited silently.
Soon, five figures appeared a hundred meters ahead.
"Is this the kid who defeated Roshi?"
"It should be him. I may have recognized the wrong person, but my perception is not wrong. Don't be careless just because of your age. We have all seen the strength of his shadow clone just now!"
"That's right, this damn brat must be killed!"
"Be careful, there is another person who should be hiding in the dark, the woman who is good at illusion!"
The moment they saw Hoshita Shuichi's childish face, the Iwagakure ninjas were a little surprised. Some of them looked down on him for a moment, but when they thought about the previous battle, the contempt suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by solemnity and hatred.
There were 12 people, and now there are only 5 of them left. 6 died and one was seriously injured in the final explosion and it is impossible for him to survive.
Only a fool would underestimate such a painful price.
At this time, Hoshita Shuichi put his hands together and said: Blue lotus, bloom!
The blue light between his eyebrows lit up, and the blooming light was like a blue lotus blooming.
The brilliant blue light quickly covered Hoshita Shuichi's head, torso, and limbs.
Boom!
The blue flames ignited his entire body, as if he was wearing a blue flame imperial robe with lotus patterns.
Hoshita Shuichi's long hair stained with blue flames flew backwards without wind, and the raindrops falling from the sky were evaporated completely before they could get close to him.
Under his feet, the muddy ground dried up quickly and the nearby grass and trees soon caught fire.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who was standing next to him, felt the terrible heat and immediately moved away for a distance, looking at the flame chakra coat on Hoshita Shuichi in shock.
"Is this a fire chakra mode similar to the Four-Tails Jinchuriki?"
"No, there is also the power of wind release!"
"What amazing chakra, what terrifying control!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke was shocked and exclaimed: "This should be no less powerful than the Lightning Chakra Mode of the Cloud Ninja!"
"Shuichi is truly Konoha's one and only genius in Fire and Wind Release!"
The Iwa Ninja on the opposite side was equally shocked.
Seeing Hoshita Shuichi's current state, the first thing they thought of was the lava armor of the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Roshi, which is the lava chakra mode.
However, that was only possible with the support of the tailed beast's chakra.
Could this little brat in front of me be Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?No way!
"This guy's Fire Release has reached a level comparable to the Third Raikage of the Cloud Ninja, and is similar to the Lightning Release Chakra Mode!"
"Be careful, and try not to get into close combat with him. Like Roshi, this guy's body temperature must be very high!"
"Creating favorable terrain will consume his strength. This mode will definitely consume a lot of chakra. If you are not a Jinchūriki, you will definitely not be able to hold on for too long!"
Several Iwashi Ninjas quickly exchanged opinions.
At this time, Hoshita Shuichi, who was already ready, said to Sarutobi Shinnosuke: "I'm going!"
Before he finished his words, his figure had already rushed out, leaving behind a series of twisted blue afterimages.
"So fast!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke exclaimed inwardly, this speed was even faster than when Hoshita Shuichi performed Lotus Steps.
"The fusion of the power of Fire Release and Wind Release, although it has not formed a bloodline limit, is already very terrifying and has changed the mode of the instant body technique."
Thinking in his mind, Sarutobi Shinnosuke followed.
The rock ninjas on the opposite side shouted in a low voice at the moment when Hoshita Shuichi moved: "Here they come!"
Then someone squatted down and put his hands on the ground.
In front of Hoshita Shuichi who was running at high speed, walls rose up one after another.
Hoshita Shuichi drew his sword, but it was not the Ame-no-Murasakisaki, but the katana equipped by the Anbu.
The moment he pulled it out, he slashed forward, blue blade light flashed, and high walls exploded.
This is the Azure Flame Waterfall Sword in Fire Release Chakra Mode, which possesses the power of Wind Release. The blue flames of the combination of Fire Release and Wind Release leave the body and form a blue crescent-shaped blade.
Azure Flame Sky Sword Stage 2 - Azure Flame Vacuum Slash!With one slash, he cut the road ahead and passed through the wall. However, the ground around him had risen, and he was facing a straight cliff.
Just as he jumped up and was about to leave the huge pit, sharp stone pillars grew out from the walls on all four sides in an orderly manner and all grew at a high speed towards the center.
Hoshita Shuichi snorted softly and was about to swing his sword to cut off the stone pillars. At the place where he was standing, thick stone pillars quickly grew out.
However, these stone pillars avoided Hoshita Shuichi and instead collided with the stone pillars growing on all sides.
Boom!
One by one, the stone pillars exploded.
It's Sarutobi Shinnosuke's technique!
Although it did not completely offset the stone pillars of the Iwagakure ninja, it gave Hoshita Shuichi space to move.
Figures flashed, blue Sword lights flashed one after another, and stone pillars fell one after another.
In a blink of an eye, Hoshita Shuichi was on the ground, and what greeted him was a tide formed by gravel and sand, sweeping towards him violently.
Earth release - landslide!
Hoshita Shuichi walked in the air, but there was an explosive talisman in the tide of sand.
Boom!
The detonating talisman exploded, gravel and sand flew everywhere, and the shock wave swept towards Hoshita Shuichi.
But Hoshita Shuichi did not dodge, because blue lotuses bloomed on his legs and feet, spewing out high-temperature air that completely offset the shock waves of the explosion below him.
And the exploding gravel and sand naturally could not pose any threat.
However, at this moment, two stone dragons swooped down from the sky and attacked.
Earth release - Earth and stone dragon!
Hoshita Shuichi swung his sword, and the two earth dragons exploded at the same time, turning into countless pieces of rubble and scattering.
On the ground, a sturdy Iwagakure jonin saw his ninjutsu being broken so easily. He put his hands together to form the Si seal and opened his mouth to spit out the rock cannon, but out of the corner of his eye he saw a mud river sweeping towards him.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke's ninjutsu, Earth Release - Earth Flow River!
The sturdy Rock Ninja Jonin could only give up the attack, and retreated in a flash. After landing, he pressed the ground with both palms, and an earth wall rose from the ground, blocking the earth flow of the river.
At this moment, a blue dragon head appeared on each of Hoshita Shuichi's shoulders after he broke through the stone dragon in the air. The dragon's mouth opened and one after another white fireballs were ejected towards the position of the Rock Ninja below.
Boom!
Explosions sounded one after another, and Hoshita Shuichi directly launched a cannon fire, blowing up rocks and flying everywhere.
Several Iwagakure ninjas fought and retreated, constantly changing the terrain to defend against Hoshita Shuichi's attack from the air.
"Um?"
The sturdy Iwagakure jonin just dodged a fireball and his expression changed because the ground beneath his feet had turned into swampy mud and was spinning at high speed, pulling him down.
It's that guy again. His Earth release technique is not worse than his!
"hateful!"
The Rock Ninja Jonin gritted his teeth and was about to use his Earth Substitute to escape, but Hoshita Shuichi suddenly appeared in front of him, with blue fire lotuses blooming under his feet. He stood on the rotating swamp and was not affected at all.
The Iwagakure jonin's pupils dilated and he immediately gave up his previous idea, and his skin hardened rapidly.
Earth release - hardening technique!
At the same time, he quickly formed seals with both hands.
Earth release-rock fist technique!
Even if I die, I will at least seriously injure you!
The Iwagakure jonin had a crazy look on his face, and his right hand was quickly covered with rocks.
But before he could throw a punch, Hoshita Shuichi had already swung his sword. The high temperature and high-speed flow of the combined power of Fire and Wind Releases gave the blade a terrifying cutting ability that easily broke through the hardening technique and passed by his neck.
Immediately afterwards, Hoshita Shuichi disappeared, and the strong Iwa Ninja had all his strength drained away. He sank rapidly and was submerged in the swamp in a blink of an eye.
Another Iwagakure jonin who saw this scene was almost furious: "Toryu!"
"hateful!"
"Go to hell, little devil!"
With his palms pressed on the ground, dense rock pillars suddenly grew out of the ground. These rock pillars continued to grow into the air, some high and some short.
However, lotus flowers bloomed on Hoshita Shuichi's body, and he easily dodged the blue butterflies dancing in the air.
But just when he broke through to the central area, these rock pillars suddenly exploded.
All of a sudden, rocks flew through the air, and countless pieces of rubble shot towards Hoshita Shuichi.
Earth release - Earth pillar explosion!
Even Hoshita Shuichi couldn't dodge this saturation attack.
But Hoshita Shuichi did not dodge at all, allowing pieces of rubble to fly towards him.
As soon as these pieces of gravel touched his chakra coat, they melted instantly and could not cause any harm at all.
"This guy's body temperature is too high. Such an attack will have no effect."
"We must trap him first. Otherwise, with his speed and defensive capabilities, we might..."
"Understood!"
"And that guy who's in the way must be killed!"
"Be careful of the other illusion master."
The remaining four Iwagakure communicated with each other, but their attacks did not stop at all.
As he spoke, rocks on the ground fell off, forming long sharp sticks that flew towards Hoshita Shuichi who was fighting his way out of the forest of earth pillars.
Earth release - rock-stealing stick!
The dragon head on Hoshita Shuichi's shoulder immediately opened its mouth and spit out fireballs, blasting the stone sticks apart one by one.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who was following behind Hoshita Shuichi, also made a move, using a combination of Fire and Earth Style, forming a burning rock ball that shot at the four Rock Ninjas, disrupting and slowing down their attacks and making hand seals.
Earth walls rose up and then exploded one after another. Hoshita Shuichi rushed to an Iwagakure ninja behind the earth wall and slashed him with a sword, splitting his body into two, but then scattered into rubble.
Almost at the same time, the ground under Hoshita Shuichi's feet had broken into sand and gravel, and the head of an rock ninja popped out, opening its mouth and spitting out a large amount of rocks, forming a rock man, which hugged Hoshita Shuichi's legs.
"trap!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who was behind him, immediately formed a seal, but the next moment, his feet were grabbed by a pair of hands that stretched out from the ground: "I will never let you interfere again, go to hell, bastard!"
The Iwagakure's voice sounded, pulling Sarutobi Shinnosuke underground.
But only halfway through, Sarutobi Shinnosuke's body turned into a pile of mud.
What?
The rock ninja was surprised, and then he found that the rocks and soil around him had turned into a muddy swamp, and it was spinning and squeezing him.
This is a trap!
"This guy already knew..."
The Iwa Ninja quickly controlled the sand-like gravel to lift himself upwards, trying to escape before the power of the Yellow Spring Swamp could penetrate him.
But Sarutobi Shinnosuke's voice rang out: "My existence is not only to assist and interfere, but also a bait and a trap!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sarutobi Shinnosuke completed his hand seals and spurted out a high-pressure water column from his mouth, easily piercing the Iwagakure, whose half body was still underground.
While the main body died, on the other side, the shadow clone who had just used the rock pillar to imprison Shuichi Xingxia also immediately exploded with a bang.
Only three of the four Iwagakure were left.
One of the Rock Ninjas was holding Hoshita Shuichi underground, while the other two had already completed the ninjutsu together.
Earth release-Mountain and earth technique!
On both sides of Hoshita Shuichi, two huge hemispherical rocks more than two meters high stood up and then crashed towards Hoshita Shuichi in the middle at high speed.
Although it takes a long time to describe all this attack and defense, it actually happened in a flash.
Hoshita Shuichi fell into a trap and had his legs grabbed by the enemy underground, followed by the Rock Pillar Prison and the Mountain and Earth Technique.
The four Iwagakure ninjas cooperated with each other in perfect harmony, and their ninjutsu were seamless.
Even Hoshita Shuichi's reaction could not interrupt such a continuous spell.
If there is no way to interrupt, then don't interrupt!Hoshita Shuichi's mind was working at high speed. The moment the rock pillar prison appeared, he handed the sword to his left hand and inserted it into the ground, piercing through the enemy underground.
No hardening technique can resist it.
Then, Hoshita Shuichi opened his arms to both sides, with his palms upright and facing outwards, and then a huge blue lotus emerged, and then bloomed in layers on both sides.
Each bloom is an explosion, a high-temperature shock wave. Overlapping high-temperature shock waves spew out. The hemispherical rocks that come at high speed from both sides just crush the rock pillars and then explode in all directions with a bang.
"What?"
The two Iwagakure couldn't help but exclaim.
In the back, Sarutobi Shinnosuke's ninjutsu had been completed.
Earth Style - Falling Cover from the Sky!
A huge piece of earth and stone "pot cover" fell from the top of their heads. The two rock ninjas didn't have time to form seals and quickly dodged and retreated.
But the next moment, two blazing white beams of light pierced through, and the two Rock Ninjas twisted in the air to avoid them.
"ah!"
One of the Iwagakure ninjas let out a shrill scream as one of their arms was cut off by a beam of blazing white light. As soon as his body hit the ground, blazing white flames suddenly started burning on his body, and he let out an even more shrill scream.
The art of unglazed firewood!
The other Rock Ninja was shocked and angry, and formed hand seals to rescue him, but a beam of blazing white light shot out. He was about to jump to avoid it, but his body suddenly froze.
From the side, Chihiro's figure rises from the ground with her hands forming seals.
Illusion-Tree Binding Kill!
Poof!
The fire dragon breath fired from the dragon head on Hoshita Shuichi's shoulder hit the rock ninja's heart with incredible accuracy.
Bang! The Iwa Ninja fell to the ground with his eyes wide open.
The other was also burned to death by the blazing flames.
At this point, all five Iwagakure jonin were killed.
Three versus five, all wins!
The blue flame on his body went out, and then the blue chakra shrank back to his forehead, and then the Yin Seal and Eight Trigrams Seal were re-sealed.
Hoshita Shuichi let out a long breath.
Great!
The anger in my heart finally came out.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Chihiro came to Hoshita Shuichi and looked at the battlefield and the corpses in silence.
Although it was three against five, they knew very well that even without their assistance, Hoshita Shuichi could achieve the current results.
Fire Release Chakra Mode, so terrifying!
"Shuichi's strength is probably not inferior to the three ninjas and elite jonin like Konoha White Fang."
Chihiro assessed silently.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke handed the mask to Hoshita Shuichi, who was still reminiscing about the battle, and helped him pull out the sword, saying, "Retreat, such a big commotion should attract many ninjas!"
Hoshita Shuichi came to his senses, nodded, then put on his mask and took the Sword.
The three of them immediately retreated overnight, with Hoshita Shuichi still leading the way with his thermal vision glasses. The team did not stop to rest until they entered the Land of Fire.
"Shuichi, you take a rest first. Kokoro and I will keep watch all night."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke arranged.
Hoshita Shuichi was not polite either. He sat under the tree and closed his eyes. However, he did not rest immediately. Instead, he reviewed the battle that had just taken place.
There is no doubt that the Fire Release Chakra Mode is very powerful.
The high temperature combines offense and defense, and also greatly increases his speed.
If the opponent in this battle was not a ninja like the Iwagakure who was good at changing the terrain, he would have been outrun by him long ago.
In addition, in the Fire Release Chakra Mode, it is more convenient to perform Lotus Steps, Dragon Flame Breath, Buddha's Wrath Lotus, and Azure Flame Sword Techniques.
If there is a disadvantage, it is that in this mode, he can only perform fire and wind ninjutsu.
Hoshita Shuichi smiled secretly: "But this is enough, Fire Release and Wind Release are my strongest aspects now. If these can't defeat the enemy, other ninjutsu will be difficult too."
"Besides, I haven't used my full strength today!"
"Hellfire Lotus, Wind Release Rasenshuriken, and Wind and Fire Light Wheel Rasenshuriken are all useless."
"But even though these techniques are powerful, they are not actually very suitable for dealing with Rock Ninja."
The Rock Ninjas are very good at defense, and for a few of the Rock Ninja Jonins, they still have ways to defend against large-scale attacks.
On the contrary, powerful single-target attacks such as Dragon Flame Breath and Blue Flame Sword Technique cannot be defended against.
Of course, Wind Release Rasenshuriken and Wind and Fire Light Wheel Rasenshuriken can also be single-target attacks.
However, Hoshita Shuichi felt that it was unnecessary to deal with these Iwagakure ninjas.
"At this stage, with this kind of combat power, plus the Yin Seal's chakra, if you don't waste it in the war, there shouldn't be any problem in keeping your life."
"It would be even better if we could add Creation Rebirth."
Thinking of this, Hoshita Shuichi fell into a deep sleep.
At the same time, on the battlefield of the Rain Country.
Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan were the first to arrive.
In fact, they were first alerted by the battle in the cave, and then tracked them here.
"The terrain here has completely changed..."
"It must be the Iwagakure ninja. They are the only ones who have this ability!"
"It is indeed an Iwagakure. Just like the bodies left on the battlefield before, they are all Iwagakure."
"Only the Iwagakure..."
Yahiko looked at the traces of the battlefield, his expression be
