Chapter 237 Darkness and Light! (Subscribe)

Looking at the howling wind ball, Xingxia raised his eyebrows, raised the sickle in his hand, and slashed it down, splitting the wind ball from it.

boom!

Strong airflow exploded, erupting from both sides of Hoshixia Xiuyi, the storm swept across, and a large number of houses were torn apart.

Kakuzu's pupils shrank slightly as he watched, a little surprised at the strength of this madman.

But there was no pause in the movements of his hands, and he followed up with another ninjutsu. This time, lightning condensed between his mouth, and then burst out, forming a blue beam of light. After piercing a charging warrior, the beam of light moved and passed by. It cuts everything into pieces, and Shuichi Hoshita is also within the attack range.

Hoshita Shuichi jumped into the air, looked at the samurai who was attacking Kakuzu from behind, and said with a smile: "Let me help you!"

The three seals were completed in an instant. He opened his mouth and spat out, and a huge fireball roared out, heading straight for the warriors, but Kakuzu was also within the attack range.

Anyway, since he is immortal, it doesn't matter if he gets beaten a little bit.

Kakuzu snorted coldly and formed water escape with his hands.

His seal formation speed was definitely fast, but as soon as he got up, the fireballs that flew towards him suddenly split up, forming a dense cloud of moths that flew through the air. Kakuzu, who was so fast, had no time to complete the seal. Already shrouded in moths.

Moths fly into the flame!

Boom boom boom~~

The moths exploded and waves of fire rolled, enveloping Kakuzu and the samurai who were rushing to kill him in the blink of an eye.

"I'll give you another cold bath to reduce the fire!"

As soon as Xingxiaxiu landed, the seal was just completed.

Water escape, water blast and waves!

As soon as he opened his mouth and spat out, the water surged out, and then set off a huge wave and surged towards the sea of ​​​​fire in front of him.

Xingxia showed off his hands but didn't stop, doing three more seals.

The binding of the water snake!

In the turbulent water, a large number of water snakes condensed, like a tide of snakes hidden under the water waves.

The water waves collided with the flames, and the water vapor immediately evaporated.

The waves of water rushed forward and soon extinguished the sea of ​​​​fire, but the entire battlefield was shrouded in water vapor.

"Be careful under the water!"

"ah!"

Drinks and screams came from the steaming water.

One by one, the warriors were suddenly entangled by the water snakes that sprang up from the bottom of the water, and were then pulled into the water. After a while, each of the disgraced warriors fainted and then surfaced.

Soon, the water mist dissipated, and warriors were floating on the water. In the center, Kakuzu's clothes were in tatters, and there were many burnt spots on his body.

At the same time, many black tentacles were revealed.

His hardened skin is almost immune to most physical attacks, but he is not immune to blasts like Fire Release and shock wave attacks.

Looking at the embarrassed Kakuzu, Hoshita Shuichi said with a smile: "Oh, I'm very sorry, the control of the newly developed fire escape is not very precise."

Kakuzu looked at Hoshita Shuichi with a serious expression on his face: "It seems that your methods are not bad, but you must be careful when doing tasks in the future and don't hinder me!"

After saying that, Kakuzu turned and left.

Hoshita Xiuichi smiled, picked up the sickle and followed.

Be careful?

Sooner or later your little heart will burst!

…

In the study room of Konoha Village, Hoshita Shuichi suddenly looked up.

The spiritual clone pretending to be Xiaolu Kuohai returned the memory.

After digesting it, Hoshita Shuichi couldn't help laughing: "This guy Kakuzu is quite interesting... Earth Resentment Yu can be regarded as a method of immortality."

Kakuzu was a figure from Senju Hashirama's era. He was much older than Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Mizukage, and Ohnoki.

"The two consecutive missions are to attack the famous names of small countries. This old stone Onoki is really restless."

Shifting his attention, Hoshita Shuichi snorted coldly, separated himself and went to the Hokage Building, and then used the spirit clone technique again.

Now Immortal Bai Jue is pretending to be Xiaolu Kuohai, and it cannot last long.

The spirit body's clone left the body and headed towards the Kingdom of the River at a very fast speed.

…

Hokage's office.

After hearing the information, Namikaze Minato frowned: "Iwagakure Village wants to use political means to infiltrate these small countries."

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "That's probably the case."

"They have already attacked the leader of Kusanagi Village once. The war has just ended and they dare not provoke us easily."

"But we took action against the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Grass, and we borrowed Akatsuki's hand. We can't use similar methods again, otherwise we will fall into an infinite cycle and plunge the Kingdom of Grass into chaos."

"Of course, this is under normal circumstances."

Upon hearing this, Namikaze Minato knew that his disciple had an idea, so he smiled helplessly and asked, "What do you have in mind?"

Hoshita Shuichi said with a smile: "Iwagakure Village's plan is nothing more than the same as before, supporting a daimyo who is biased towards them, and then using the daimyo to restrict the Kusakunin Village and stay away from us."

"If that's the case, then why can't we use the same method?"

"First assassinate the daimyo they support, and then let the daimyo of the Fire Country send people to the Country of Grass in the name of the alliance to support a young... Well, it is best to let the daimyo of the Country of Fire send people and the new ones from the Country of Grass With the marriage of the great names, it will be more legitimate for the Fire Country to interfere in the affairs of the Grass Country."

"When the time comes, the Daimyo of the Land of Grass can naturally hire our Konoha ninjas to protect him!"

Namikaze Minato was shocked when he heard this: "You want the Fire Country to take the opportunity to swallow up the Grass Country?"

Hoshita Shuichi shook his head: "I can't say swallow it, I can only say control it."

"Now is not the time to swallow it, lest we start a fight with Iwagakure."

"But we can lay the groundwork first."

He smiled as he spoke: "For example, the marriage I mentioned, at this stage, is to control the Daimyo of Grass Country, maintain the interests of the original interest groups of Grass Country, and let the nobles, ministers and merchants of Fire Country erode them, and continue to bind them through cooperation."

"When the right time comes, once the Daimyo of Grass Country dies, the Daimyo's wife can succeed the Daimyo of Grass Country, and when the right time comes, the female Daimyo can integrate Grass Country into Fire Country."

"Of course, in this process, we need to join hands with Grass Village to block those open and secret arrows."

"We must also be careful of Grass Village, or the last step of this plan must not be known to Grass Village, because it conflicts with their interests."

If Grass Country is gone, Grass Village will naturally not exist.

After pondering over and over again, Minato Namikaze felt that this plan was very good. He looked at Shuichi Hoshita and couldn't help but smile: "Kushina is right, you are more suitable to be Hokage than me!" Shuichi Hoshita immediately waved his hand: "Teacher, you are only 24 years old now, don't think too much." "Okay, how to do it specifically, teacher, please discuss with the third generation and senior Shikaku." After that, it exploded into a cloud of smoke with a bang. Minato Namikaze could only smile helplessly, and then after a moment of silence, he said: "Genma!" Shiranui Genma appeared immediately. Minato Namikaze ordered: "Please ask the third generation and Shikaku to come over!" "Understood!" ... Soon, Minato Namikaze, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Shikaku Nara gathered in the conference room. After listening to Minato Namikaze's narration, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shikaku Nara were stunned. "This plan..." Hiruzen Sarutobi smoked a cigarette and didn't know how to describe it for a while. Nara Shikaku said: "This plan doesn't seem to be proposed by a ninja."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, which was what he thought in his heart.

Because this is not considered from the perspective of Konoha, but from the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, and even...

Namikaze Minato smiled and said: "This was proposed by Shuichi."

"He also brought back the information."

"Sure enough."

Nara Shikaku said in a deep voice: "But I have to say that this plan is very amazing and very good."

"My suggestion is to adopt this plan. If necessary, I am willing to go to the Daimyo's mansion to persuade the Daimyo and other ministers and nobles."

Although Namikaze Minato had already made a decision in his heart, he still looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Third generation, what do you think?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen Hiruzen said, "You can do it, but you must also make some necessary preparations for failure."

Minato Namikaze nodded, and then said to Shikaku Nara, "Shikaku, it's up to you to perfect the specific plan."

"This is an S+ top-secret plan and mission."

"After a more specific plan comes out, you will also need to go to the daimyo's mansion."

"Well, you can explain to the daimyo at that time that this plan was proposed by Shuichi."

Shikaku Nara nodded seriously, "I understand."

After the meeting, Minato Namikaze returned to the Hokage's office and immediately began to make arrangements.

The details of the plan need to be improved, but some work must be done in advance.

For example, the intelligence of the Daimyo's mansion of the Grass Country, to see if the newly appointed Daimyo of the Grass Country will turn to the Hidden Rock Village as Shuichi Hoshita said.

If so, then the plan can be implemented.

The newly appointed Daimyo of the Grass Country will be assassinated at that time.

Minato Namikaze did not intend to use the Akatsuki organization to do this dirty work like the Hidden Rock Village, but intended to use the Anbu.

Thinking about the next step, Namikaze Minato couldn't help but feel the reason why the third generation let Danzo go before.

If Danzo's root was still there, such dirty work could obviously be handed over to the root, and as a Hokage, he would have a calm retreat.

For example, if the matter was exposed, he could shirk responsibility.

"Darkness and light, this is also the weight that the Hokage should bear!"

Namikaze Minato's eyes were firm, and he had no idea of ​​restarting another Danzo's root.

Hoshita Shuichi took the risk to get rid of Danzo, so that he could gather power more calmly after he succeeded to the throne. How could he disappoint others in order to avoid darkness?

...

After the intelligence and strategy were taken out, Hoshita Shuichi didn't care about it.

The specific plan was perfect, and he believed that Nara Shikaku and others were better than him.

He was very busy at the moment and had no time to worry about these things. He just kept paying attention to the progress.

Only because his physique was comparable to that of the tailed beasts could he split so many clones to be busy.

However, Shuichi Hoshita soon discovered that Kakuzu was a mission maniac.

In addition to the tasks of the Akatsuki organization, he also had to go out to do odd jobs to complete bounty tasks.

Such a hard-working employee, Shuichi Hoshita was a little jealous of Konan.

Time passed day by day, the New Year was getting closer and closer, and another operation of Gekko Gale was also on the agenda.

December 28, 48th year of Konoha.

In the study, Shuichi Hoshita sorted out the practice of the past year, and then he maximized his concentration and thinking speed, then opened the Star Curse Seal, and finally opened the "Flash of Inspiration".

The precious ten minutes entered the countdown.

Shuichi Hoshita lowered his eyes, his mind was running at a high speed, so that the temperature of his head rose sharply, and wisps of mist rose from his head.

Time passed by every second.

With a high-speed running mind, ten minutes is very long, but the actual ten minutes are very short.

When the "flash of inspiration" effect passed, Shuichi Hoshita sighed with loss, feeling that he had turned from a god into a fool.

Fortunately, this time he gained a lot.

After drinking the salt and sugar water prepared in advance, Shuichi Hoshita began to write the spell on the blank scroll.

Star Curse Seal!

He first perfected this seal, even though he had mastered the Sage Mode.

But for Shuichi Hoshita, the Star Curse Seal is still very important. It can usually replace the Sage Mode, and continue to nourish cells with the power of the Sage Technique, forming an alternative purpose of maintaining the Sage State for a long time.

This is similar to Tsunade using a small amount of chakra to maintain her beauty and youthful state. The chakra consumed at ordinary times is actually very little.

Moreover, for the development of the Star Curse Seal, Shuichi Hoshita's goal is to enable him to absorb natural energy for food and become a real Sage!

Because the source of the Star Curse Seal comes from the Term Tree, which is an ability originally given to the Ame-no-Murasaki Sword.

Its inherent characteristic is to absorb natural energy.

Now, although Shuichi Hoshita has improved his physique and made a qualitative change in his chakra by digesting the power of the tailed beast, he has not obtained the unique ability of the tailed beast.

That is, absorbing natural energy to replenish his physical strength.

He now needs to transform into a tailed beast through transformation techniques to quickly recover his physical strength.

Complex techniques flowed out from the tip of the pen, and this time the harvest was far greater than before.

It took Shuichi Hoshita an hour to complete the latest version of the Star Curse Seal technique.

The previous Star Curse Seal only had fire escape, wind escape, yang escape, and yin escape in terms of amplification.

And this time, Shuichi Hoshita further improved it, and it was important to achieve a comprehensive amplification like the Sage Mode.

That is, any Ninja Body Genie!

And this is for Shuichi Hoshita.

If it is Yakushi Nono and the others, because Shuichi Hoshita is the one who planted the curse seal, then the source of the curse seal is him, Yakushi Nono and Shizune will also obtain the same level of Yang escape nature changes as Shuichi Hoshita.

This is also what Shuichi Hoshita intended.

He doesn't want to watch his beauty grow old little by little.

In addition, the Star Curse Seal can also be separated.

For example, the Xuanbi Ancient God Seal that amplified the Fire Style alone before, the Life Seal for Kai, amplified the Yang Style, and built-in Creation Regeneration Technique.

The one that amplified the Lightning Style can be called the Takemiya Thunder God Seal, the one that amplified the Water Style can be called the Miduhano Seal, the one that amplified the Wind Style can be called the Shinadubi Seal, and the one that amplified the Earth Style can be called the Kamuiyama Seal.

But it is named after the name of the gods.

And in the future, Shuichi Hoshita will not easily pass on the Star Curse Seal.

After putting away the scroll and sealing it, Shuichi Hoshita turned his attention to the entry tree.

Another entry is in a state that can be lit and activated.
