Chapter 127 - Chapter 127: Top Strength!

Kingdom of Wind, sandstone battlefield.

On the edge of an oasis town, corpses were lying all over the place, and many crows and vultures were pecking at them.

However, among this group of scavengers there is a rather special crow, because it is rather picky and has a big appetite.

Any corpse chosen by it will disappear immediately.

After collecting three corpses in succession, Hoshita Shuichi, who had turned into a crow, sensed someone approaching and immediately flapped his wings and flew into the night sky with his companions.

The Iwa Ninja is here to collect the bodies!

They were repelled just now and had no time to take away the bodies of their companions. They could only wait until the Suna Ninjas retreated into the oasis before they could collect the bodies.

"Damn beast!"

The Iwa ninjas cursed loudly, and some even used the Rock Cannon Technique to attack the flying crows and vultures.

Hoshita Shuichi was also one of the targets of the attack, but he easily dodged the ninjutsu.

With his sharp eyes sweeping over these Iwagakure ninjas, Hoshita Shuichi quickly went away, and then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to come to an underground base he had set up.

There are some remaining buildings here, which should be ancient ruins covered by wind and sand. They were made use of by Hoshita Shuichi, who made some arrangements using Earth release techniques and then set up the Flying Thunder God technique, specifically to temporarily store corpses.

Just now, I turned into a crow and used my claws to perform Flying Thunder God - Lightning Guide to teleport the corpse here.

He not only collected the general knowledge of the teacher, but also practiced the Flying Thunder God Technique, killing two birds with one stone.

After collecting the corpses one by one with the prepared sealing scrolls, Hoshita Shuichi sat down to rest for a while, while thinking about the current battle situation between the Sandstone and Sandstone sides.

There is no doubt that at the beginning, the Iwagakure ninjas invaded the Kingdom of Wind with great force.

Because the Sand Village has spent too much power to track down Scorpion, its defenses are weak.

However, by today, the Sand Village had reacted and stabilized the situation.

To be able to achieve this so quickly is a combination of the right time, the right place and the right people.

The right time and place, without a doubt, is the terrain of the Wind Kingdom, as well as playing at home.

Although the environment in the Land of Earth can be considered harsh, it is definitely not as bad as that in the Land of Wind.

Renhe is a Suna Ninja who has given up on luck and can be described as a pitiful army.

The Kazekage, who was revered as the strongest of all generations, died. The Iwa Ninja, who was most likely one of the murderers, not only refused to apologize and hand over the murderer, but also took the lead in invading. How could this be tolerated? Therefore, in the several battlefields thatHoshita Shuichi observed, the Suna Ninjas were extremely crazy, which frustrated the Iwa Ninjas who had been going smoothly at first, and their offensive was also stopped.

"Unfortunately, neither the Four-Tails nor the One-Tails Jinchuriki showed up."

Hoshita Shuichi felt a little regretful.

Although he had obtained the meat of the four tails and could continue to cultivate them, he and Orochimaru estimated that they could only cultivate one tail at most.

The Eight-Tail has at most one horn, and it becomes very difficult, or even impossible, to continue training it.

"Iwa Ninja..."

Hoshita Shuichi was ready to make a move, thinking to himself: "The intensity is not strong enough now, otherwise how can we hide the tailed beast Jinchuriki?"

"Besides, the Ninja World War has begun, and Konoha will be involved sooner or later."

"Now, the more Iwa Ninja and Suna Ninja are consumed, the more beneficial it will be for Konoha."

To be honest, he looked down upon the strategies of both Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo.

Danzo is too radical, and joining the war too early is indeed not beneficial to Konoha.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen is too conservative and negative.

At times like this, you have to be a troublemaker!Thinking of the Iwagakure who attacked him just now,Hoshita Shuichi's eyes sharpened and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Let's start with the Iwagakure!"

"We must give them some strength!"

"Well, let's go back to Konoha to replenish our chakra."

"Take the body back too, to prevent it from being stolen."

Hoshita Shuichi is still a little afraid of Black Zetsu and White Zetsu.

So good at hiding.

He put away the scroll and disappeared.

When the corpse was sent to the experimental base and the clone was dissolved, it happened to be when Hoshita Shuichi and Asuka had just finished their training, and it was almost 10 o'clock.

After washing up, he said good night to Yakushi Nono and Asuka. After Hoshita Shuichi returned to the bedroom, he unsealed the seal on his abdomen, releasing a huge amount of chakra, and based on this, he created two shadow clones.

Since we are going to intervene in the war and do it with the highest intensity, of course we have to intervene one on each side.

However, the Iwagakure ninjas have mastered his chakra characteristics, and many of the Suna Ninjas know about him, including some who are sensory ninjas, so one still has to be careful.

The best way is to kill all those who know about itThe two shadow clones disappeared from the room, and Hoshita Shuichi also lay down and fell asleep peacefully.

Kingdom of Wind, underground base.

Two shadow clones of Hoshita Shuichi appeared, one of them stayed, and the other one used Flying Thunder God again and disappeared.

In the air, Hoshita Shuichi turned into a crow and came to the sky above the battlefield where he had collected the corpses before.

After circling for a while, the crow descended and then transformed from a crow into a moth.

The temporary camp of the Iwa Ninja has high walls, and the Iwa Ninjas in charge of keeping watch either sit on the walls or hide in the darkness.

There are several bonfires inside the high walls, bringing warmth to the entire camp.

A moth flying towards the bonfire did not attract the Iwagakure's attention.

The Iwa Ninja on guard did not pay attention to the sky, or rather a moth.

Who would have thought that a ninja could turn into a moth and fly over?

After all, ninjas can use transformation techniques to turn into birds, but they can't fly.

The Iwa Ninja who was resting inside the high wall was not by the campfire, but in a semi-open semicircular mound created by the Earth release technique.

After flying around the campfire, the moth flew into a mound of earth.

There are a total of four Iwagakure ninjas living here, just enough to form a team.

The art of Nirvana Monastery!

The four Iwa Ninjas who were originally only half asleep fell directly into a deep sleep.

However, Hoshita Shuichi did not kill him directly, but flew out again and entered other mounds, and each Iwa Ninja was deeply hypnotized.

But an accident soon occurred. A Iwa Ninja Jonin was awakened when the moth entered and was able to withstand the Nirvana Monastery technique.

But just as this Iwa Ninja had completely freed himself from the illusion, and before he could warn his other companions, Hoshita Shuichi cast another illusion upon him.

The Golden Binding Technique!

The Iwagakure jonin was tied up and couldn't even speak, but Hoshita Shuichi could feel that he wouldn't be tied up for long.

Unable to hide any longer, Hoshita Shuichi transformed from a moth into the Suna Ninja's horse platform.

The Iwagakure jonin's eyes widened as he struggled with all his might, trying to break free from the control of the illusion.

Buzz!

Hoshita Shuichi raised his right hand, and the wind chakra covered it. The high-speed flowing wind chakra created a terrible cutting ability. With a swing, the Iwa Ninja who had just escaped from the control of the illusion was cut off.

Coo!

The Iwagakure jonin fell down holding his neck.

However, the vibrations from Hoshita Shuichi's ninjutsu alarmed the Iwagakure who were on guard outside.

"Who is using ninjutsu?"

The Iwa Ninja on the high wall suddenly turned around, then shrugged his nose, his expression changed drastically: "Not good!"

"Enemy attack!"

The sharp scream woke up the other Iwagakure ninjas who were not affected by the illusion.

At this time, Hoshita Shuichi had turned into a gust of wind and came out of the earthen mound. The next moment, a powerful storm broke out from the center of the Iwa Ninja Camp and blew in all directions.

The ground was hardened by the Iwa Ninjas, so there was no sand, but the campfire in the camp was blown out, and the strong wind also prevented the Iwa Ninjas outside from advancing.

Next, the Dark Walk Technique!

In an instant, all the awakened Iwagakure were deprived of their vision and their eyes were plunged into absolute darkness.

"Damn it, this jutsu doesn't belong to Suna Ninja, it belongs to Konoha!"

An older Iwagakure jonin shouted.

However, ordinary methods of breaking illusions could not allow them to quickly break this technique, and for a while no Iwa Ninja dared to release the technique.

After practicing the Dark Walking Technique, Hoshita Shuichi inhaled and exhaled from his mouth, and gusts of fierce wind swept out.

Puff, puff, puff!

Ahhh~

Blood splattered and screams echoed through the night sky.

The Iwa Ninjas fell one after another, while some of them managed to narrowly avoid the attacks.

Wind Release - Vacuum Wave!

With one move, all the small fry of the Iwa Ninja were basically wiped out.

Then Hoshita Shuichi picked up a ninja sword from the ground, covered the blade with Wind Release Chakra, and pounced on a Iwa Ninja Jonin.

"Come on, asshole!"

The Iwagakure jonin shouted angrily, his skin hardened, holding a kunai, and responding with hearing.

He was prepared to withstand the opponent's attack in order to get a chance to counterattack.

However, there was no way a blade could break through his hardened skin, and even the chakra enhanced by the nature of wind release might not be able to kill him with one blow.

But the person he met happened to be Hoshita Shuichi, whose wind-release jutsu was extremely rare in the ninja world.

Not only did he fail to withstand the blow, he also failed to seize the opportunity to counterattack.

In the darkness, Hoshita Shuichi was like a ghost, harvesting the lives of the Iwagakure ninjas amid screams and roars of terror.

After a while, all the Iwa Ninjas, including those who were hypnotized, were killed by Hoshita Shuichi.

After collecting the bodies of the three Iwagakure jonin, Hoshita Shuichi disappeared from the camp that was filled with the smell of blood.

At the same time, the Suna Ninja had sensed something was wrong and immediately sent out the Ninja Hawk to investigate.

Soon, the Suna Ninjas arrived at the Iwa Ninja camp, which was littered with corpses, and they all looked at each other in bewilderment.

After checking for a while, it was found that everyone died from wind release.

"It looks like the village has sent reinforcements!"

"It should be an elite jonin team!"

"What a sharp wind release technique!"

"Who could it be?"

The Suna Ninjas started to talk among themselves.

Several Suna Ninja jonin discussed it and agreed that the village had sent reinforcements to launch a surprise attack.

This is good news for them. The huge pressure disappeared in an instant, and they can even counterattack tomorrow.

On the other side, after Hoshita Shuichi's clone returned to the base, another clone took over and went out on another battlefield. In a similar way, he sneaked into the Iwagakure camp, killed all the Iwagakure, and took away several bodies.

Although they were two small battlefields, the impact was huge.

A gap appeared in the defense line, so that the Iwa Ninjas were caught in a tough battle the next day. Finally, the front line collapsed and they had to retreat.

On the third day, when Hoshita Shuichi discovered that Rasa appeared on the battlefield, he immediately became cautious and stopped taking action. Instead, he turned into a crow or vulture and silently observed the battlefield and his old rival Rasa.

This fellow had indeed undergone a huge transformation, as if he had abandoned the powerful iron sand of the Third Kazekage and switched to heavier gold sand.

But it must be said that in a place like the Kingdom of Wind, gold dust is more suitable. Hiding in the desert has a better concealment.

Rasa led the Suna Ninjas in an extremely fierce counterattack, causing heavy losses to the Iwa Ninjas, who retreated again and again.

"Times make heroes!"

Hoshita Shuichi couldn't help but sigh inwardly as he watched.

Konoha Village, experimental base.

Hoshita Shuichi, who was studying the Eight-Tails, couldn't help but turn around when he heard Tsunade's voice.

Tsunade stood at the door and said, "The ANBU is looking for you!"

Hoshita Shuichi nodded, leaving his shadow clone to continue working, while he left the experimental base. Sarutobi Shinnosuke was waiting outside.

"Hey, this is your application form for becoming a jonin, Shuichi, take it back, fill it out, and give it to me!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke took out a form and gave it to Hoshita Shuichi.

Jonin?

Hoshita Shuichi took the form and asked, "Captain, my workload is far from enough, right?"

To be promoted to a jonin, in addition to the necessary combat power, one must also have a sufficient amount of tasks.

Even if he added the treatment mission of Konoha Hospital, it would still not be enough.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke smiled and said, "So, take on more missions recently!"

Hmm?

Hoshita Shuichi sensed something unusual.

Is this a preparation for the next possible war?To shape young talents and boost morale?

At this time, Sarutobi Shinnosuke took out another scroll and unfolded it: "These tasks are more suitable for you, Shuichi!"

When Hoshita Shuichi took it and looked at it, he saw that they were all tasks to spy on information.

Iwa Ninja and Suna Ninja.

Hoshita Shuichi almost suspected that the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen knew about his little trick.

But think about it, it shouldn't be.

Although Sandai has voyeurism, he wouldn't go so far as to peek at him sleeping.

The assignment was based on his abilities.

Infiltration!

After understanding it in his mind,Hoshita Shuichi nodded and said, "I understand!"

"So, do you want to intervene in the war between the Sand and Iwa Ninjas?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke was surprised when he heard this: "Interference?"

"How to intervene?"

Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said: "Of course, let them fight more fiercely and consume their strength."

"Even if they are destined to go to war with us in the future, the weaker their strength and manpower are, the better."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke was immediately moved when he heard this, and said solemnly: "I will mention this matter to the Third Hokage!"

Hoshita Shuichi nodded, waved, and turned back to the experimental base.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke stood there in thought for a moment before he turned away.

Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen fell into deep thought after listening to his son's report. After a moment, he looked up and asked, "What do you think of this proposal?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke spoke truthfully: "I fully agree with Shuichi's proposal. Although there are great risks, the benefits outweigh the risks."

"Based on the situations of the past two Ninja World Wars, the war that is currently limited to the Suna Ninja and the Iwa Ninja will sooner or later affect us."

"And now, weakening the Suna Ninja and the Iwa Ninja will be beneficial to us regardless of whether the war will spread to the Fire Country."

"This is a proposition where the benefits completely outweigh the risks and it's totally worth doing."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded after hearing this.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke then hesitated for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Besides, given Shuichi's personality, he has a great dislike for the Iwa Ninja and the Suna Ninja, so it is possible that he has already done this."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment, and then felt a headache.

Minato is still better, he is a genius, but he is very worry-free.

Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Tsunade, and now Hoshita Shuichi, although they are all good, none of them is worry-free.

Although Hoshita Shuichi completed the mission very well, his personality is worrying!

At this time, Chihiro rose from the ground: "Third Hokage, there is information from the River Country that the Hidden Mist Village has invaded the southeastern border of the Wind Country!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes narrowed: "As expected, he has taken action!"

Then he no longer hesitated and said to Sarutobi Shinnosuke: "Let Shuichi do it!"

"clear!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded and then disappeared.

When returning home from the experimental base in the afternoon, Hoshita Shuichi met Sarutobi Shinnosuke again and immediately realized that the proposal must have been passed.

After conveying Sarutobi Hiruzen's decision, Sarutobi Shinnosuke advised: "Focus on gathering intelligence and don't take risks."

Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Captain. You know I cherish my life very much."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke smiled bitterly after hearing this.

I cherish my life, but when I go crazy, no one can compare to me!

"Chihiro and I are waiting for you to attend our wedding!"

"When we have a child in the future, let him worship you as his master!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke couldn't help but exclaimed: "I think there is no better ninjutsu teacher in Konoha than you!"

Hoshita Shuichi immediately laughed and said, "Then it's settled!"

"But don't blame me when the time comes, Captain!"

After saying that, Hoshita Shuichi disappeared.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke was confused and couldn't help scratching his head. After thinking about it carefully, he still didn't understand the meaning of Hoshita Shuichi's last words.
