Chapter 130 - Chapter 130: The monkey blows his hair and creates countless clones!

After watching a battle between the tailed beasts, Hoshita Shuichi returned to Konoha with great satisfaction. He sorted out the information and had the crows deliver it to the Hokage Building. He then went to the study and recorded the Shukaku curse pattern on a blank scroll.

After studying it carefully for a while, Hoshita Shuichi showed joy on his face: "What a great treasure!"

"These curse patterns can completely form a talisman..."

Hoshita Shuichi took out paper and pen, analyzed and combined Shukaku's curse patterns, and wrote the spells one by one on the paper.

Before I knew it, it was dark.

WhenHoshita Shuichi stopped writing and examined the talisman he left on the paper, he suddenly felt something familiar.

"Is this...similar to the effect of Adamantine Sealing Chain?"

"Not only that, the binding seal can also be traced back to its source."

Hoshita Shuichi frowned: "The source of the tailed beasts is the sacred tree. The source of the Uzumaki clan can be traced back to the Sage Of Six Path, and then to Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and the sacred tree."

"It's not surprising to think so."

"But compared to the One-Tail Curse Seal, the various sealing techniques I have learned and the Adamantine Sealing Chain give me a feeling of being more complicated."

"The cursed seal pattern of the one-tail gives people a kind of... primitive feeling?"

So, is it the power of the Sage Of Six Path, or is it still derived from the sacred tree? Just as he was thinking about it, there was a noise outside.

Asuka and Yakushi Nono are back.

In the evening, Hoshita Shuichi did not go to the Kingdom of Wind, but continued to comprehend the power of the Adamantine Sealing Chain from Asuka. This happened to confirm what he had gained from Shukaku today, and he gained a lot more.

However, when he was about to fall asleep at 10 o'clock, the memories fed back by a shadow clone startled him, and then he laughed.

"Yeah, how could I forget that the Shadow Clone, as a physical clone, can naturally also absorb natural energy, that is, chakra, by transforming into a tailed beast to restore physical strength."

Hoshita Shuichi remembered that Naruto's clones could recover their physical chakra through Tsunade's treatment.

He immediately created a shadow clone to go to the Kingdom of Wind, and then fell asleep peacefully.

In the following days, Hoshita Shuichi's real body traveled between Konoha and the Kingdom of Wind, but he spent most of his time training in Konoha, and the task of collecting intelligence was basically left to the shadow clone.

The trouble maker is also done by the shadow clone.

Moreover, after discovering that shadow clones could absorb natural energy and restore physical strength by transforming into tailed beasts, Hoshita Shuichi's original body had to run around less.

However, even though he was a troublemaker, he could not impersonate the Four-Tails Jinchuriki as blatantly as before.

However, the shadow clones simultaneously impersonated the Iwa Ninja, the Suna Ninja, and the Mist Ninja, causing trouble in non-main battlefields and behind both sides, making the battle between the three parties even more intense.

The desire for revenge is not only for individuals, but also for the collective!

Although the Iwa Ninja, Suna Ninja, and Mist Ninja all noticed something was wrong, many things were difficult to investigate in the chaotic battlefield, not to mention that Hoshita Shuichi's shadow clone never left anyone alive.

There is nothing to check, and there is no time to investigate in detail.

Especially the Sand Village, which was outnumbered by two at one, and their military strength was already tight.

The battle between the three major ninja villages is in full swing, and the situation in the entire ninja world has become tense.

Konoha began to prepare for war, and increased the number of manpower in both the northern and western border guard forces.

Jiraiya, who had been traveling for a long time, also came back. The first thing he did was to find Hoshita Shuichi to collect folk songs.

After using various features such as bunny girl and cat girl to distract Jiraiya, Hoshita Shuichi immersed himself in his own practice and research.

Time flies, summer goes and autumn comes, and in late autumn the cold becomes heavier.

In his regular place of practice, under a waterfall created by earth and water jutsu, Hoshita Shuichi, with his whole body loaded, stood under the waterfall, brandishing a big sword.

This broadsword was taken from the Anbu. The tall Akimichi Shigeiwa used this type of sword. It looked particularly huge when used by Hoshita Shuichi, who is just over 1.6 meters tall.

But under the waterfall, Hoshita Shuichi danced without any clumsiness.

He started exploring his physical potential in this way in June and has become accustomed to this big sword.

Under such pressure, Hoshita Shuichi felt that his chakra limit was indeed increasing faster than before during this period.

After half an hour of swordsmanship training under the waterfall, Hoshita Shuichi sat cross-legged on the ground, accepting the impact of the waterfall, but his eyes were looking at Kakashi and Might Gai who were fighting outside.

It's rare that both of them don't have any tasks.

"Huh?"

Hoshita Shuichi suddenly discovered that Kakashi was suppressed, and Might Gai's speed and strength were improved to a higher level.

I haven't seen you for a while, how come you've improved so quickly?

Or did you remove the weight?Probably not.

Could it beHoshita Shuichi immediately stood up, walked out of the pond and went ashore.

After waiting for a while, Kakashi was defeated, but Might Gai also knelt on one knee on the ground exhausted, gasping for breath and sweating profusely.

Hoshita Shuichi stepped forward, put one hand on Gai's shoulder, and injected chakra into Might Gai through Strength of a Hundred Seal to relieve his fatigue. At the same time, he smiled and said, "Gai, it seems you have your own trick!"

After receiving the chakra replenishment, Might Gai's tiredness faded away. He stood up and grinned, "I can't hide it from you, Shuichi!"

"This is the forbidden taijutsu my father taught me!"

Hoshita Shuichi glanced at Kakashi who was lying on the ground gasping for breath, smiled and nodded: "The effect has been seen."

Kakashi said, "Hey, maybe you should help me recover as well."

Hoshita Shuichi withdrew his hand and said without turning his head: "Kakashi, you just need to recover slowly. I want to try Gai's forbidden technique."

Might Gai explained: "This forbidden physical technique is called Eight Gates of Ninjutsu. It is a technique that can unlock the eight hidden gates of confinement in the human body to improve physical fitness."

"I just unlocked the first door, which means opening the door."

Might Gai explained seriously: "This door is specifically designed to unlock the restrictions of the brain on the human body. It allows me to exert 100% of my physical ability and consume my body's energy in an overload. Therefore, my speed, strength, and even physical fitness have been greatly improved."

Hoshita Shuichi nodded and said, "The human body does have many potential limitations. For example, if the pain reaches a certain level, we will fall into a coma. In fact, coma is also a way for the brain to protect us."

"There is also the refinement of chakra. We will also fall into a coma when it reaches a certain level. This is also a form of self-protection of the body."

Kakashi also stood up and listened carefully.

Might Gai seemed to suddenly understand.

Hoshita Shuichi continued: "So Multiple Shadow Clones is listed as a forbidden technique, because this technique will break the body's own protective limits, and then over-exert physical strength, so that there will be a risk of life due to excessive consumption of chakra."

Kakashi stood up and said, "So, this is why Gai's Eight Gates Ninjutsu is called a forbidden technique."

"Once the restrictions on the brain area are unlocked, if the consumption is excessive, it will directly lead to death, rather than falling into a coma to protect itself."

Hoshita Shuichi nodded, then said to Might Gai: "So, Gai, you have to have enough confidence in your physical strength."

Might Gai immediately nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Dad has already reminded me before."

"So, I need to work harder and make my body stronger, so that I can gradually open the door of my body and withstand the power of release."

He grinned again and said, "With the Eight Gates, I can definitely become a Chunin this year!"

Konoha holds the Chunin Examination twice a year, one in July and the other around mid-November, which is not long from now.

"Then we'll have to wait and see."

Hoshita Shuichi smiled and changed the subject: "But now let me see the power of the Eight Gates first!"

"That's exactly what I meant!"

Might Gai's blood boiled, he immediately reopened the door, and in a flash he left an afterimage and attacked Hoshita Shuichi.

A taijutsu duel began, with Kakashi watching from the sidelines, analyzing the two men's movements.

And Hoshita Shuichi had many feelings at this moment.

Not only has Gai's speed and strength improved, but he can also perform some moves that he was unable to do before.

However, after an overall evaluation by Hoshita Shuichi, he felt that the Eight Gates Ninjutsu was useless to him.

After a moment.

Might Gai fell to the ground exhausted, but he was very satisfied: "Shuichi is worthy of being my lifelong rival!"

Kakashi, who was watching the battle, stepped forward and said, "Shuichi, your physical strength... should be much stronger than ours now, right?"

Hoshita Shuichi made a serious estimate and said, "It's probably... 26 times yours!"

Kakashi's forehead was sweating when he heard this. Might Gai, who was lying on the ground, was also shocked: "Shuichi, do you have any special physique?"

"This...isn't this too exaggerated?"

Kakashi also thought it was extremely exaggerated.

Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said: "Maybe he is gifted!"

In fact, according to his past estimates, it should be around 24 calories.

But his physical fitness has doubled time and time again, plus eating the meat of the four tails and his own excavation, the current amount of chakra is 26 calories.

Of course, the comparison is with the current Kakashi.

At this age, the amount of chakra is indeed exaggerated, already exceeding that of Yakushi Nono in his peak state.

Asuka, who also gradually reached her peak after adulthood and has a huge amount of chakra, is currently only about 10 times that of Hoshita Shuichi.

It is far less terrifying than the original 30 times.

But it can also be seen that Asuka's chakra amount has increased a lot in recent years.

Looking at the expressions of the two, Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said, "Working hard can also improve your physical fitness."

"Of course there is another very important point."

Kakashi and Might Gai stared at Hoshita Shuichi.

Hoshita Shuichi said solemnly: "Eat more!"

Might Gai suddenly understood and nodded seriously: "I see, I guess I need to eat more in the future."

"That's right, Shuichi won the first place in the first competition, and no one has broken the record yet!"

Might Gai looked at Kakashi and said with full of fighting spirit: "Kakashi, let's participate in the eating contest again this year!"

Kakashi nodded. He took Hoshita Shuichi's advice very seriously.

He also decided to eat more in the future.

Maybe learn to carry weights and exercise under waterfalls.

After some communication, everyone practiced on their own.

Hoshita Shuichi returned to the waterfall and focused his attention on the talent tree.

talent: [Master of Physical Arts]

Acquisition conditions: Create a forbidden physical technique that is no less powerful than the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu.

talent effect: Physical fitness increased by 100%

recovery increased by 100%

resistance to injuries increased by 100%

and control over the body increased by 100%.

Looking at the [Master of Physical Arts] talent that was finally triggered, Hoshita Shuichi didn't know what to say.

To create a forbidden physical technique that is as good as the Eight Gates... this is extremely difficult.

Emperor Gai can kick at the level of the Six Paths!Although different people use the Eight Gates to different effects, it also shows that the potential of this technique is enormous.

Hoshita Shuichi had previously guessed that he was practicing the Eight Gates, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

If the condition is to learn the Eight Gates, for these effects, he will practice it even if the Eight Gates is useless to him.

But now... Hoshita Shuichi felt his scalp tingling!

"Let it go for now..."

Hoshita Shuichi reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

Time flies, and November passed in a blink of an eye. Might Gai was finally promoted to Chunin as he said.

Uchiha Obito, who took part in the Chunin exam again, failed again and was defeated by Gai once again.

Hoshita Shuichi, who went to watch the game, was also speechless. Uchiha Obito's strength was good no matter how you looked at it. Among those who graduated from the same batch, he was actually considered one of the better ones.

But things always go wrong at critical moments.

This time, he actually had stomach problems. His stomach was rumbling during the duel with Gai, and even Hoshita Shuichi could hear it.

However, looking at the ridiculous Uchiha Obito, Hoshita Shuichi felt a lot more urgency.

The Ninja World War broke out, and the intubated Uchiha Madara was also sharpening his sword!And Black Zetsu and White Zetsu should also be quite active, looking for targets everywhere, right?

Unfortunately, Hoshita Shuichi did not find any trace of White Zetsu and Black Zetsu in the Land of Wind.

Maybe it's because I sense that the ninjutsu is wrong!

As time entered December of the 44th year of Konoha, changes began to occur in the war between the Suna Ninja, the Iwa Ninja, and the Mist Ninja.

The Iwagakure had retreated to the border of the Wind Country, but due to changes in the terrain and shortened supply lines, they were able to gain a foothold with the support of the Bird Country.

But Rasa did lead the Suna Ninjas to repel the Iwa Ninjas.

On December 8, in the 44th year of Konoha, Rasa officially became the fourth Kazekage with great prestige.

At the same time, the battle between the Sand Village and the Mist Village entered a stalemate.

In the study, Hoshita Shuichi sorted out the latest information fed back by his shadow clone. After hesitating for a moment, he attached his own speculation on the battle situation.

He believed that next year the Sand Village would definitely strive for peace talks with the Mist Village and then form an alliance, so that they could gather all their strength to fight against the Iwagakure ninja.

This choice is also related to the fact that the Fourth Kazekage Rasa himself rose to power by defeating the Iwagakure ninjas.

The possibility of reconciliation between the Suna Ninja and the Iwa Ninja is relatively smaller at the moment.

Once the Suna Ninja and the Mist Ninja form an alliance, they will have common interests and common goals.

Finally, Hoshita Shuichi suggested: increase troops at the border of the River Country and closely guard against the Mist Ninja!

After writing it, I still let the crow deliver it to the Hokage Building.

Then Hoshita Shuichi turned his attention back to his own practice.

December is here, and it's time to use that "flash of inspiration".

In fact, this effect can be used once a year and at any time.

The reason why I waited until December to use it is to be more fully prepared and to maximize the efficiency of these 10 minutes.

However, there are too many problems to be solved, and they must be prioritized.

"First is the sealing technique, especially the key point involving the soul, but I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."

"The second is perception ninjutsu, improving the listening technique and incorporating malicious perception..."

"There is also the need to improve the Fire Mystery Seal. Currently, this seal can only amplify Fire Release, and it cannot store natural energy. I have almost completed the research on storage, but there is no progress in expanding the amplification range. Perhaps we should start by absorbing the natural energy of the tailed beasts and converting it into physical strength?"

"Or should we wait until we improve the Fire Mystery Seal and use the Strength of a Hundred Seal to try to become an sage?"

Hoshita Shuichi combed his hair secretly.

Later on, there will be the Tail-breaking Clone Technique, as well as the Stand Technique.

Further down the list there are S-level earth-release defensive ninjutsu, lightning-release electromagnetic cannon, and the like, which are ranked further back.

After carefully sorting it out, Hoshita Shuichi was about to get up and go to the experimental base when the memory of a shadow clone came back to him.

"It actually worked at this time!"

Under the stars, she showed a happy expression.

The memory that had just been fed back was of studying the shadow clone of the Eight-Tails at the experimental base.

After carefully sorting out the memories fed back by the shadow clone, Hoshita Shuichi suddenly realized: "The key lies in the cells..."

The Eight-Tails's Tail-Severing Clone Technique uses a part of its own body as a clone, so even the Sharingan cannot see through it.

This is the same as Senju Hashirama 's Wood Clone, which is extremely difficult to identify.

The Wood Release clone is because the life of Senju Hashirama , that is, the powerful Yang Release force, is infused into it.

It is essentially similar to the Eight-Tails' tail-breaking clone technique.

And using a living body as a medium for clones, Hoshita Shuichi's own Crow Clone Technique is one of them.

So in fact, it was not difficult for him to create the art of clones by using part of his body as a medium for clones.

Previously, Hoshita Shuichi had used his hair as a medium to perform clones, but unfortunately it did not meet the requirements and was not much more difficult to identify than the crow clone or even the shadow clone.

What he never expected was that the key was living cells!A layer of window paper was pierced, and Hoshita Shuichi immediately felt a sense of regret that he had not thought of it before.

Because the hair pulled out from the head may not contain living cells.

It must be connected to the hair follicles, or the hair follicles.

A small detail was overlooked, leading to a huge waste of time.

"Fortunately, the Eight-Tails itself has great value, especially its regenerative ability, so the research we have done during this period is not in vain."

Hoshita Shuichi comforted himself secretly, then pulled out a hair with a follicle from his head, and then used it as a medium to perform the clone technique.

This was no difficulty for him.

Bang!

A clone appeared.

Hoshita Shuichi looked at it carefully, then smiled with satisfaction.

It is indeed much more real than the shadow clone, because this clone not only has his chakra, but also cells.

Hoshita Shuichi immediately took action to test the clone.

He was seriously injured at first, but he was still able to maintain his condition.

Then the clone suffered a fatal injury and fell to the ground, but remained in a state of death for a while until the chakra could no longer maintain the activity of the clone's cells, and then it was released with a bang.

In this way, using it as a stand-in is more useful than other clones or stand-ins.

At the same time, it also has the effect of eight tails breaking off the tail and splitting into two.

Looking at the hair falling to the ground, Hoshita Shuichi couldn't help but touch his hair: "Fortunately, I am a medical ninja and can regenerate hair follicles.
