Before they knew it, the sky was getting dark, the crow clone was dissolved, and the memory was fed back.
In the study, Hoshita Shuichi withdrew his gaze from the ritual on the scroll.
"What a powerful immobilization technique... and a transcription seal."
Hoshita Shuichi recalls his illusion duel with Uchiha Shisui.
There is no doubt that mental power and the strength of mental will are related to the resistance to illusions, or it can be described as illusion resistance.
The reason I say this is based on the principles of illusion.
Let's put aside illusions such as Tsukuyomi, Infinite Tsukuyomi, Izanagi, and Izanami for now.
Ordinary illusions are based on disrupting the enemy's chakra and thus interfering with the five senses.
Illusions other than the Sharingan can be dispelled by correcting the disturbed chakra.
What must be said is that when the chakra itself is in a state of violent explosion, it is extremely difficult to be controlled by illusion.
For example, the last time in Hot Springs Ninja Village, Chihiro faced Ai in Lightning Release Chakra Mode, and illusions were almost useless.
The fundamental reason is that Ai is in the Lightning Release Chakra mode, and Chihiro's illusion cannot shake his own chakra system.
In addition to the Lightning Release Chakra Mode of the future Fourth Raikage Ai, those with "strong resistance to illusions" include ninjas with strong mental strength, strong spiritual will, and amazing chakra control abilities.
Because they have extremely strong control over their own chakra, it is difficult for ordinary illusions to disrupt their chakra. Or if it is disrupted, it can be corrected instantly, and it can be solved without even the need for a seal.
Not to mention Hoshita Shuichi's talent in ninjutsu and illusion, even his control over chakra is among the strongest in the ninja world.
And his mental strength and willpower are even more amazing.
Otherwise, there is no way to cultivate the Fire Release Chakra Mode.
Therefore, he can dissolve ordinary illusions in seconds, and his chakra circulation is not even disrupted by the opponent's techniques.
But the Sharingan's illusions are very different from ordinary illusions.
Although both disrupt the opponent's chakra circulation, the Sharingan is activated through eye contact.
The eyes are known as the windows to the human soul. The illusion of the Sharingan can be reflected directly into the brain through the eyes and attack from the inside.
Therefore, it is secretive and difficult to detect, and even a Jinchūriki can be affected, although it can be resolved quickly.
Similarly, when the Fourth Raikage Ai was caught in Uchiha Madara's illusion, he used his eyes to bypass the Fourth Raikage's own powerful and violent chakra circulation system.
In Hoshita Shuichi's understanding, ordinary ninjutsu directly attacks the chakra circulation system of other ninjas from the outside, while the Sharingan attacks from the inside.
The pros and cons are obvious at a glance.
"Moreover, the Sharingan can directly attack a person's mind."
Today, Hoshita Shuichi experienced the power of the Sharingan illusion.
Uchiha Shisui used the Transcription Seal and Ambush Technique to attack the spirit of the crow clone.
It directly pinned down the Crow clone's spirit, causing it to lose control of its body.
This is more direct and powerful than disrupting the operation of chakra to achieve controlled interference.
"That must have been the case when Orochimaru was killed instantly by Uchiha Itachi in one move."
As Hoshita Shuichi thought about it, he thought of the Tsukuyomi trick again.
This mangekyo sharingan pupil technique also directly targets the mind, and is even more amazing.
Kakashi did not collapse mentally after being tortured to death, which shows that his willpower is definitely strong enough.
"This brat Uchiha Itachi was really cruel to his former boss..."
Hoshita Shuichi complained in his heart, but he was thinking, if he was subjected to Tsukuyomi now after a careful assessment, Hoshita Shuichi felt that in his current situation, it was impossible for him to break free from Tsukuyomi like he broke free from Uchiha Shisui's Shackles and Hanging Technique.
Because this is not a technique on this level.
"The shackle technique only pins my spirit down, once and for all."
Hoshita Shuichi thought to himself: "But Tsukuyomi, from the known information, Uchiha Itachi, as the owner of the spiritual space created, has absolute control over it, while Kakashi only has pure spiritual power, and he cannot mobilize chakra to fight back."
"This is obviously an asymmetrical confrontation, so even with my mental strength and will, it is impossible to break the spiritual space of Tsukuyomi."
He couldn't help thinking, how to solve it?
After all, it is difficult to say that you can never look someone in the eye.
There are also Mangekyō illusion abilities like Uchiha Shisui's, which have already gotten rid of the visual system.
Is it true that the only way is to constantly improve one's mental strength and will? Hoshita Shuichi disagrees.
If that were true, Tsukuyomi and Kotoamatsukami would be invincible.
There is also an Mugen no tsukuyomi.
"Mugen no tsukuyomi..."
Just as Hoshita Shuichi was thinking, a voice came from outside.
It's Yakushi Nono and Asuka who are back.
Hoshita Shuichi collected his thoughts, stood up and walked out of the study.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a year and a half have passed.
That afternoon, Hoshita Shuichi was climbing a cliff with his bare hands and carrying heavy weights when he heard Might Gai's shout.
Looking down, Might Gai was dancing at the foot of the cliff, seemingly very excited.
After climbing to the top of the cliff in one breath, Hoshita Shuichi stepped on the cliff, parallel to the ground, and walked down quickly. He looked at the excited Might Gai and asked, "Gai!"
"Is this some happy news?"
Might Gai gestured with his hands: "Master of Taijutsu!"
"Shuichi, we in Konoha have a master of Taijutsu!"
Hoshita Shuichi's head was full of question marks.
Master of Taijutsu?
Is there a taijutsu master in Konoha who is better than your father and your future self?
Hoshita Shuichi had no impression at all.
Might Gai quickly said: "Shuichi, that's amazing!"
"Shuichi, why don't we go ask him for advice together!"
With doubts and expectations, Hoshita Shuichi and Might Gai left the place of training together and came to the place Might Gai said. They saw two people from afar.
A middle-aged man, short, with a mustache and wearing sunglasses, and a simple-minded young man, were fighting.
It can be seen at a glance that the uncle in sunglasses has amazing physical skills.
Hoshita Shuichi was secretly surprised that there was such a person in Konoha. He had never heard of him before.
Could it be the same existence as the Genin Kosuke?
Hoshita Shuichi and Might Gai approached, and the two people who were practicing fighting noticed it and stopped immediately.
"Senior, I'm so sorry to bother you!"
Hoshita Shuichi immediately saluted, and Might Gai also hurriedly followed suit.
The man in sunglasses looked at the two of them and said, "This is a place where anyone can come, so there's no need to apologize."
"However, since you guys are going to come here, let's find another place!"
As he said this, he was about to leave with the honest young man.
Might Gai bowed again and said, "I'm very sorry, Senior. I came here because I saw your superb physical skills before."
Hoshita Shuichi also explained: "Gai is also a ninja of the Taijutsu, so he respects you very much."
"Of course, I also like Taijutsu very much, and I am also very curious. We did disturb you today. I dare to ask your name, senior. I will definitely come to apologize in the future!"
The man in sunglasses shook his head and said, "No need to apologize. As for me... you can just call me Chen."
"Okay, we have to continue practicing."
Hoshita Shuichi immediately pulled Might Gai and said, "Teacher Chen, we won't bother you anymore!"
After saying that, Hoshita Shuichi pulled Might Gai away.
Might Gai looked puzzled: "Shuichi, shouldn't we ask this senior for advice?"
Hoshita Shuichi shook his head: "This teacher Chen already has a disciple, and he has no intention of doing so, so it is better not to disturb him."
Might Gai was immediately disappointed and regretful after hearing this: "Shuichi, I just saw that move, it's definitely at the ultimate level!"
Hoshita Shuichi patted Might Gai's shoulder and said with a smile: "Gai, you have to believe in yourself, you can also create your own secrets!"
"Also, I see that senior doesn't have a Konoha Ninja forehead protector, so he may not be in the Konoha Ninja series."
"But, Gai, what exactly did that physical skill secret you saw look like?"
Might Gai scratched his head and said awkwardly: "I... I only saw a dragon!"
Dragon?
Hoshita Shuichi focused his eyes and finally found a little trace from his memory.
Konoha Dragon God!
Is it the secret of physical skills?
Hoshita Shuichi thought: "So, Gai, that is a dragon created by the power of physical skills?"
Might Gai nodded affirmatively: "Well, that is definitely not formed by chakra."
After hearing this, Hoshita Shuichi speculated: "Then it should be formed by using the body's force to affect the air and condense the air."
"Being able to control the air outside the body by relying on one's own strength can truly be said to be at the ultimate level!"
As he said this, he couldn't help but glance behind him at where Teacher Chen and the others were.
What an extraordinary person.
However, I was a little disappointed that the talent [Master of Physical Arts] was not triggered.
Back on the cliff, Hoshita Shuichi and Might Gai practiced separately.
It was just the two of them this afternoon.
As everyone graduated, there were more and more missions, and it became increasingly difficult to practice together with Kakashi and others.
However, the path of personal cultivation is inherently lonely.
What we should surpass is not others, but ourselves.
As his physical fitness improves, Hoshita Shuichi's training is constantly breaking his original limits.
Now, when he is not on a mission outside the village, he basically carries weights, especially during physical training.
Without weight bearing, it would take too much time to develop your potential.
The sun sets.
After parting with Might Gai, Hoshita Shuichi was thinking about whether he should practice the Lightning Chakra mode in the future to borrow the power of lightning and develop his physical potential.
"But a body like the Raikage's isn't handsome enough!"
Hoshita Shuichi was secretly dissatisfied.
Go back home, feed the crows, feed the white tiger, and then take back all the shadow clones while taking a bath.
When Hoshita Shuichi absorbed the memory of the shadow clone who was practicing the transformation technique, he was overjoyed.
Wow, the conditions are finally met.
There is movement in the talent tree.
Hoshita Shuichi immediately lit up the talent, and the talent took effect immediately.
In an instant, Hoshita Shuichi had many insights, as if he had been enlightened.
Then, as his mind moved, his whole body suddenly turned into a grass carp, fell into the bathtub with a splash, and swam around inside.
Because he often deals with fish, Hoshita Shuichi was actually able to turn into a fish and swim in the water a long time ago.
But this moment is completely different.
Because he has the ability to breathe underwater like a fish.
This was something he could not do before when he turned into a fish.
"sharp!"
After turning back into a human, Hoshita Shuichi couldn't help but praise.
Then he thought: "What would happen if I turned into a tailed beast?"
"Possessing a huge amount of chakra? That shouldn't be the case..."
Do it when you think of it.
Hoshita Shuichi immediately got up from the bathtub, put on his clothes, said hello to Asuka, and hurried out.
Soon he arrived at a remote place in Konoha, then he used the technique of listening to make sure there was no one around. Then he moved his mind and used the transformation technique.
With a bang, a huge monster appeared on the grass.
Four tails!
"really..."
Hoshita Shuichi did not feel any change in his chakra amount.
But he now possesses another kind of power.
Lava Release!
"very good!"
Hoshita Shuichi smiled, then turned back into a human, and his Lava Release Bloodline Limit immediately disappeared.
However, Hoshita Shuichi was not disappointed at all.
Because he has become the Four-Tails, it is easier for him to comprehend the power of Lava Release Bloodline Limit than before through the Four-Tails' chakra.
In fact, he used to need to find the power of Lava Release from the chakra of the Four-Tails.
And now that he has turned into the Four-Tails, he has directly mastered the power of Lava Release. The difficulty of studying and learning this is simply on a different level.
"What a pleasant surprise!"
Hoshita Shuichi really wanted to laugh.
The ability of [Transformation Master] is much stronger than other master talents. It was worth the four or five years he spent to obtain it.
After calming down, Hoshita Shuichi transformed into the Four-Tails again.
At this moment, in his stomach, the Four Tails formed by the Four Tails' Chakra had widened its eyes.
"This guy…"
"What's going on?"
"Why is this happening?"
The Four-Tails couldn't understand why this brat could transform into him and possess the same Lava Release power and the same essential chakra as him.
How is this possible?
"Hey, kid, how did you do that?"
The four tails couldn't help but roar.
Hoshita Shuichi was too lazy to pay attention to this guy and silently felt the power of Lava Release.
Now the four-tailed beast in his stomach only serves as a power bank.
About half an hour later,Hoshita Shuichi finished his practice and prepared to go home for dinner, but he had another meal.
"The tailed beasts restore their strength through natural energy. This should also be an innate instinctual talent..."
As Hoshita Shuichi thought about it, his heart started beating violently.
Let's give it a try!
In the four-tailed state, Hoshita Shuichi clasped his hands together, stretched his concentration to the limit, and followed his instincts.
Sure enough, he soon sensed a surge of energy.
Then his perception expanded outward, and the energy he felt became even greater, as if he was deep in an endless ocean.
And these energies flowed into his body, were absorbed by his body and turned into body energy.
After the physical strength is restored and the chakra is refined, the chakra unique to the Four-Tails is formed!
"This recovery speed is amazing..."
"Should it be possible to store the Four-Tails' chakra?"
As soon as Hoshita Shuichi thought about it, the refined chakra immediately poured into the Eight Trigrams Seal.
The same works!
Gurgle gurgle!
The Yin seal in the abdomen was quickly filled.
The Four-Tails stared in amazement at the chakra that was exactly the same as its own and that it could not control, and completely lost the ability to think.
However, after trying it, Hoshita Shuichi quickly stopped, canceled his transformation technique, and walked home.
But his mind was still running at high speed.
"Turning into a tailed beast allows you to master the power of the tailed beast and absorb natural energy."
"In this state, it is easier to master the bloodline limit of the tailed beasts, and even sense natural energy after becoming familiar with it."
"But it may be risky for me to absorb natural energy now... I need more research and understanding."
Hoshita Shuichi thought secretly: "The Sage Mode is different from the Tailed Beasts. The Tailed Beasts convert natural energy into physical strength and then refine chakra, just like the Divine Tree absorbs natural energy and breeds the Divine Tree Fruit."
"And the Sage Mode is formed by natural energy, physical strength, and mental strength..."
Hoshita Shuichi immediately thought of the technique on the Ame-no-Murasaki sword.
"It seems that this year's 'flash of inspiration' has a place to go..."
When Hoshita Shuichi returned home, Yakushi Nono had already returned from Konoha Hospital, and Asuka had already prepared dinner.
The family sat and enjoyed dinner, but Yakushi Nono remembered that Hoshita Shuichi mentioned the establishment of an experimental base some time ago, so he said, "Shuichi, why don't we apply to the village to establish an experimental base in the name of Konoha Hospital?"
Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said, "This is indeed feasible. I'm sure the Third Hokage will not refuse."
"But I have a better plan."
Asuka was curious: "What's the plan?"
"Keep it a secret!"
Hoshita Shuichi said mysteriously: "You will know when the time comes."
It would not be a good idea for Konoha to solely own the experimental base.
We must attract more investors, and the Daimyo of the Fire Country is a very good investor.
How could the Daimyo of the Land of Fire not be tempted by studying the power of the tailed beasts and their weapons?
Would Sarutobi Hiruzen object?The Fire Country Daimyo allocated additional funds to build an experimental base for Konoha, so why would he object?
After dinner, Hoshita Shuichi left his shadow clone to continue practicing the Flying Thunder God Technique, while he went out to continue feeling the power of Lava Release.
When he finished his training and went home at around nine o'clock in the evening, Hoshita Shuichi couldn't help but look in the direction of his teacher Namikaze Minato's house.
He had to admit that he had feelings for Kyuubi.
"Each tailed beast has a different power. The more tails one has, the closer it is to the power of the Ten-Tails."
Retracting his gaze, Hoshita Shuichi thought as he walked: "So the power of the Nine-Tails is the closest to the Ten-Tails, and it also has the most comprehensive effect on ninjas."
"As for the Four-Tails' chakra, in addition to Lava Release, it also significantly increases Earth Release and Fire Release, and it also has the ability to heal Jinchūriki, but the effect is far less than that of the Nine-Tails."
"Naruto's Yang Nine-Tails can affect Wood Release... If my estimation is correct, the power of the Nine-Tails can replace Hashirama's Yang Release power, allowing ordinary Wood Release to have the same power as Hashirama Senju."
"In other words, the power of the Yang Nine-Tails can be used as Yang Release to inject life into Wood Release."
"The one-tail's magnetic release and seal, the two-tail's Fire Release, the three-tail's water release..."
"It seems that I must collect the chakra of the tailed beasts so that I can transform into them and feel their power!"
"even..."
Hoshita Shuichi suddenly had a terrible idea.
By creating nine small tailed beasts in his body and then trying to turn them into the sacred tree, is it possible to realize the fundamental power of the sacred tree, or the Ten-Tails?
