Chapter 155 Draw One! (Subscribe and Vote)
The endurance of Sunagakure Village is far more amazing than Hoshita Shuichi and Orochimaru expected.
May and June passed in the blink of an eye.
On the River Country side, Konoha and Sand Ninja were still at each other's throats, fighting on a small scale.
It's just that Shukaku danced a little more happily and had to fight Hoshita Shuichi every two days.
Although no one could do anything about him, Hoshita Shuichi was happy to take the opportunity to observe Shukaku and draw some chakra from time to time to supplement the consumption of research.
If he hadn't been sure that the sealing technique of Fire Netherworld Lock could go any further, Hoshixia Xiuyi would have used "Flash of Inspiration" to perfect the technique and then split one tail.
…
The war between Konoha and the Kirigakure ninja is still raging, and the destruction of the seven Kirigakure ninja swords once again brought uproar to the Kirigakure village.
Without this sharp knife, Kirigakure Village would inevitably retreat steadily in the Land of Fire, a battlefield with no geographical advantage.
But I have to admit that Kirigakure is also very tenacious, even crazy.
For example, the Kaguya clan.
When Shuichi Hoshita obtained intelligence from various places from Orochimaru, he heard Orochimaru comment that the Kaguya clan was a war madman and would be destroyed sooner or later.
In addition, in the past two months, the Sand Ninja launched two large-scale attacks on the Iwa Ninja.
Unfortunately, they all ended in failure.
Afterwards, Hoshita Shuichi discovered that the Sand Ninja and Iwa Ninja quickly entered a strange state of silence.
It looked like he was going to gather strength for a decisive battle, but Hoshita Shuichi felt that the Fourth Kazekage and the Third Tsuchikage were playing dirty tricks.
It’s night, July 18, Konoha 45.
Hoshita Shuichi, who was resting in the medical camp, opened his eyes and appeared directly in Orochimaru's tent the next moment.
"It seems that there is some movement among Suna Ninja?"
Looking at Hoshita Shuichi who was all wet, Orochimaru asked with a calm expression.
Hoshita Shuichi nodded solemnly: "A group of sand ninja elites rushed directly from the north to the east at high speed, the number is around 800."
"This news cannot be hidden from Iwa Ninja. It is obviously intentional by Iwa Ninja."
Orochimaru nodded: "Iwa Ninja needs Sand Ninja to further contain our forces."
"It seems that the Iwa Ninja is about to take action."
Hoshixia Xiuichi said: "If Iwa Ninja takes action, Kumo Ninja will do the same."
Orochimaru smiled and said: "Shuichi-kun, there is no need to think so far, we just need to defeat the Suna Ninja first!"
Hoshixia nodded, and then released the Yin seal on his forehead, and the majestic chakra poured out.
Bang!
A shadow clone appears.
Orochimaru said: "The rest of this place will be left to you."
"Master Xiaoharu will arrive tomorrow at the latest."
Xingxia Xiu nodded.
It is indeed difficult for him to command an army of thousands of people.
This is not just a wave of the hand and everyone rushing forward.
Seeing the shadow clone leaving with Orochimaru, Hoshita Shuichi immediately separated his clone to notify Koharu who was transferred to bed, and asked Uchiha Shisui to convey the order to summon the Konoha Jonin who was there.
Of course, it was Orochimaru's order.
Half an hour later, six jounin who had no important missions arrived.
Hoshita Shuichi now sat in Orochimaru's seat, which surprised everyone.
Shuichi Hoshita didn't give them a chance to ask, and said directly: "Some of the Sand Ninja who are fighting against the Iwa Ninja in the north have already gone straight to the border of the Land of Fire, so Lord Orochimaru rushed there overnight."
"I have also sent someone to ask for Mr. Xiaochun. He will arrive tomorrow."
"Tonight, and tomorrow, until Lord Koharu arrives, you should follow Lord Orochimaru's arrangements, but you must be vigilant."
Everyone in the tent was shocked when they heard this, and then Sarutobi Shinichi was the first to speak: "Don't worry, Shuichi, we absolutely guarantee that nothing will go wrong."
Immediately afterwards, the Nara clan, the Yamanaka clan and several other jounin who were friends with Hoshita Shuichi also expressed their opinions.
In the end, only Shimura Hien was left. Under this situation, although he was dissatisfied with Shuichi Hoshita's taking power, he could only nod silently.
Hoshita Xiuyi nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, in that case, then everyone should take their respective positions!"
Sarutobi Shinichi and others nodded, then said goodbye and left.
After everyone left, Uchiha Shisui walked in and asked: "Shuichi, do you think the Suna Ninja will launch a large-scale attack tonight?"
Hoshita Shuichi shook his head and said: "If we don't move, the possibility of the Sand Ninja moving is very small."
“But everything has exceptions, so you must be prepared.”
Uchiha Shisui nodded, and then said: "Then I'll go to the front line!"
Xingxia Xiu nodded: "Let's go together!"
"The Sand Ninja will probably test whether my true form is here!"
The two of them immediately came to the front line. When the Konoha ninjas stationed here on guard saw Hoshita Shuichi arriving, their emotions suddenly changed.
Uchiha Shisui felt it and couldn't help but secretly sigh: "Shuichi has become the spirit in the hearts of Konoha ninjas!"
He is honored to be a friend and teammate.
Opposite, in the Kingdom of Wind, behind the rock pillar, a sand ninja responsible for perception opened his eyes: "Another chakra of Shuichi Hoshita appears. This one is most likely the original body."
Another Sand Ninja immediately said: "I will go back immediately and report to Chiyo-sama."
It is quite difficult to identify shadow clones, even with chakra perception.
As for Hoshita Shuichi and the others, it was even more difficult to tell them apart.
Chiyo quickly received the report and said: "Is it necessary to let Ichibi test the true body?"
She looked at Fenfu and said, "I'm going to trouble you next."
"Provoke and fight every once in a while to ensure that Shuichi Hoshita's body is here, and his body must not appear on the border of the Land of Fire."
Chiyo knew very well that the actions of Sunagakure Village would be monitored by Konoha.
That flying ninja beast is too powerful.
Therefore, he must ensure that Shuichi Hoshita's body remains here.
As for the clone, there is no way to stop it no matter what.
But with such a long distance, the clone's chakra was also a problem, and she felt that the impact could be minimized.
Fenfu nodded immediately after hearing this. Shukaku was eager to go out and play in the sand.
And he has always held a grudge and wanted to teach Hoshita Shuichi a lesson.
…
An hour had passed since Orochimaru left.
Shuichi Hoshita, who was resting on the front line, suddenly opened his eyes: "Ichibi is here!"
The shadow clone gave back the memory.
He immediately jumped up and flew away through the air.
Next to him, Uchiha Shisui immediately stood up and whistled.
In an instant, Konoha ninjas hiding in the woods appeared.
Sarutobi Shinichi came to Uchiha Shisui: "Shisui, are the Sand Ninja going to attack?"
Uchiha Shisui shook his head: "No, it's the first one."
"I'm afraid I'm here to confirm whether Shuichi's body is still there."
Sarutobi Shinichi frowned after hearing this: "There are not enough troops on the Fire Country border. With the speed of the Sand Ninja, they will arrive before the reinforcements."
Just as he was talking, Shukaku's unique roar came from the front: "Hey, you brat, I will teach you a lesson today!"
In the woods, Konoha ninjas jumped up one after another, came to the top of the tree and looked across.
Shukaku's huge body is eye-catching even in the dark night.
Especially if the moonlight is good, you can see more clearly.
Sarutobi Shinichi and others also saw Hoshita Shuichi standing in the sky, now wearing the iconic blue chakra coat.
"Konoha's Blue Flash, such an apt title!"
Sarutobi Shinichi praised.
This title was not given by the ninjas of Konoha, but was recognized by the enemy.
For Sarutobi Shinichi and the others, this may be one of the greatest honors of being a ninja!
…
In the air, Hoshita Shuichi looked at the shouting Shukaku and said calmly: "Shukaku, you have been saying this for several months."
"To be honest, if it weren't for Senior Fenfu, you would have been sealed by me long ago."
He still respected the old man very much.
Above Shukaku's head, Fenfu saw through the little fox's sinister intentions at a glance: "Shukaku, he is provoking the general."
"How can I not see this?"
Shukaku snorted coldly.
This damn kid, you underestimate him!
He raised his paw and pointed at Shuichi under the star, Shukaku shouted: "Share the blessings and kill him together!"
Before he could finish his words, the sand suddenly rose up and rolled towards Hoshixia Shuichi in the air like a dragon.
"It seems that there has been a lot of progress recently!"
Hoshixia Shuichi looked at the salon that was being rolled up. Immediately behind him, blue lotuses bloomed. His figure exploded. He drew his sword and slashed open the salon. The blue light of the sword split open the salon.
Boom boom boom!
A stream of sand rose up from below, trying to capture Hideka Hoshita.
But Shuichi Hoshita was like a butterfly, dancing in the air, moving vertically and horizontally, so slippery that Shukaku couldn't catch him.
"hateful!"
Shukaku snorted coldly, then opened his mouth and spat out, blasting out wind balls one after another.
Hoshita Shuichi still easily avoided it, and then the Wind Fire Wheel Spiral Shuriken appeared in his left hand, and was thrown out by him with a sharp friction sound.
Shukaku, however, manipulated several strands of salons to join together and turned into a huge curtain of sand, which actually stopped the Wind and Fire Light Ring Rasen Shuriken.
Intense light illuminates the night sky, and a sandstorm sweeps across.
However, Hoshita Shuichi suddenly raised his figure and rushed behind Shukaku. The Flame Dragon on his shoulders breathed out mingled, cutting Shukaku like giant scissors.
Shukaku jumped up, turned around in the air, first spit out two wind balls, and then waved his left paw, gathering a large number of sand bombs.
At the same time, Fenfu above his head clasped his hands together.
Sand shot!
This time, the Jinchūriki and Shukaku performed it together.
Xingxia Xiuyi, who avoided the wind ball, landed on the ground. In front of him, a thick wall rose from the ground, covered with exquisite lotus reliefs.
Earth Escape - Lotus Earth Current Wall!
Kakashi carved a dog's head, and he carved a lotus.
While blocking the sand projectiles, Huangquan Marsh erupted.
Shukaku, who had just fallen down, was immediately enveloped in the swamp.
"With this little trick, I can't help you at all!"
Shukaku was very disdainful, and then showed an excited smile: "I caught you, you brat!"
A stream of sand grabbed Hoshita Shuichi's ankle, and surged up quickly, wrapping around Hoshita Shuichi's body like a rope. It moved forward one after another and wrapped Hoshita Hideka's entire body in the blink of an eye.
"Yo ho!"
"Bury it!"
Shukaku laughed, and under the cover of waves of sand, one after another, there were talismans appearing on them.
But Fenfu frowned slightly, and then reminded: "Be careful, that is not his true body, behind!"
Feeling one, Shukaku also reacted, his laughter stopped suddenly, and he turned around quickly, but found that the underworld swamp under him had not been filled with sand, and he couldn't pull it out for a while.
Behind him, Hoshita Shuichi, who used his hair as a clone, had already raised the Melting Spiral Shuriken in his hand, and then invested it.
middle!
With a precise hit, the lava rotated and enveloped Shukaku's entire huge body.
"Asshole!"
"I will kill you!"
Shukaku made a painful sound.
In the back, Chiyo, who was watching the battle, stared at him: "Sure enough, he has mastered the Lava Release Kekkei Genkai, and... he doesn't have the Four-Tails Chakra."
"This guy..."
Chiyo couldn't determine for a moment whether the traces of Lava Release left at the scene of the Third Kazekage's disappearance and death were caused by Shuichi Hoshita, after all, it was the power of the Four-Tails.
And even if Shuichi Hoshita got the power of the Four-Tails, could he master Lava Release in such a short time?
...
The melted sand fell off, and a smaller Shukaku appeared.
Shuichi Hoshita had already approached, and the chains on his back whistled out, tying Shukaku up, and one of them even pierced into Shukaku's body.
"Damn..."
Just as Shukaku was about to turn around, and when Fubuku also performed a sealing technique to fight back, their bodies froze, and their mental consciousness was pulled into a mental space and appeared in Konoha Village.
Magic Realm - Memory Palace!
"Is this Konoha Village?"
"It's an illusion, Shukaku, break the illusion!"
Fenfu reminded.
Shukaku looked around, confused: "This is different from the illusion of the Uchiha kid before, how to break it?"
Above Shukaku, Fenfu looked at the Konoha Village that seemed to exist in reality, and said: "Chakra!"
"Get rid of all those who have chakra!"
Shukaku smiled immediately after hearing this: "Very good!"
"I like this method very much!"
"Then destroy this Konoha Village!"
Shukaku looked at the Hokage Rock.
At this time, figures jumped up from all around, and they were Konoha ninjas.
...
Outside the illusion, the fire netherworld chains that Shukaku had tied up also drilled into Shukaku's body.
This was the first time he used the magic realm-memory palace illusion on Shukaku and Fenfu.
The reason why he didn't use Flying Thunder God to move directly to Shukaku was because it was more dangerous to appear directly on Shukaku.
The purpose of using the Lava Release Rasenshuriken first was to weaken Shukaku's power, so even though he knew it was impossible to solve the problem with one strike, Shuichi Hoshita still used it.
Compared to the past, he has indeed improved now.
One person can completely suppress Shukaku and Fukufu.
And the next step is... pull Shukaku out of Fukufu's body!
Shuichi Hoshita put his hands together, pulled with all his strength, and used the Fire Nether Lock to pull Shukaku into his body.
In the back, Chiyo saw Shukaku and Fukufu being controlled, and immediately led people to kill.
On the opposite side, Uchiha Shisui and others also rushed out.
In the illusion, both Shukaku and Fukufu felt the movement of their bodies.
"That little brat... actually wanted to take me out of your body."
"Old monk, find a way to find that guy's body... otherwise, you will be dead!"
Shukaku shouted, and at the same time easily abused the weak, killing the Konoha ninjas one by one.
At this moment, the entire Konoha Village was in ruins, and the Hokage Rock had collapsed!
Fenfuku, with his hands clasped together, did not speak, searching comprehensively to identify the target.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes: "Found it!"
