Wind Country, Sandstone Battlefield.
On the edge of an oasis town, corpses were lying in all directions, and many crows and vultures were pecking at them.
However, among this group of scavengers, there was a very special crow, because it was picky and had a big appetite.
All the corpses chosen by it would disappear directly.
After collecting three corpses in succession, after sensing someone approaching, Shuichi Hoshita, who had turned into a crow, immediately flapped his wings and flew into the night sky with his companions.
The Rock Ninjas are here to collect the corpses!
Just now, they were repelled and had no time to take away the corpses of their companions. They could only wait until the Sand Ninjas retreated into the oasis before they came to collect the corpses.
"Damn beasts!"
The Rock Ninjas cursed, and some of them even used the Rock Cannon Technique to attack the flying crows and vultures.
Shuichi Hoshita was also one of the targets of the attack, but he easily avoided the ninjutsu.
With a sharp look over these rock ninjas, Shuichi Hoshita quickly left, and then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to come to an underground base he had set up.
There were remnants of buildings here, which should be ancient ruins covered by wind and sand. Shuichi Hoshita made use of them, used earth escape to arrange them a little, and then set up the Flying Thunder God Technique, which was specially used to temporarily store corpses.
Just now, he turned into a crow and used his claws to perform the Flying Thunder God-Lightning Guide to teleport the corpses here.
Not only did he collect the body of the teacher, but he also practiced the Flying Thunder God Technique, killing two birds with one stone. After
using the prepared sealing scroll to store the corpses one by one, Shuichi Hoshita sat down to rest for a while, while thinking about the current battle between the sand and rock.
There is no doubt that at the beginning, the rock ninjas broke into the wind country with great momentum.
Because the Sand Village had spent too much power to track down the Red Sand Scorpion, the defense was weak.
However, today, the Sand Village, which reacted, has stabilized the situation.
It can be said that it was the right time, the right place, and the right people to be able to do it so quickly.
The favorable time and place, without a doubt, are the terrain of the Wind Country, and the home field.
Although the environment of the Earth Country can be considered bad, it is definitely not as bad as the Wind Country.
As for the people, they are the Sand Ninjas who have given up the fluke mentality, and can be described as a pitiful army. The Wind
Shadow, who was revered as the strongest in history, died, and the Rock Ninja, who was very likely one of the murderers, not only did not apologize and hand over the murderer, but also took the lead in invading. How can this be tolerated?
Therefore, in the several battlefields that Shuichi Hoshita observed, the Sand Ninjas were abnormally crazy, which frustrated the Rock Ninjas who had been going smoothly, and their offensive was also stopped.
"It's a pity that neither the Four-Tails nor the One-Tails Jinchuriki appeared."
Shuichi Hoshita was a little regretful.
Although the meat of the Four-Tails can be cultivated continuously, he and Orochimaru estimated that at most one tail can be cultivated.
The Eight-Tails has at most one horn, and it will be very difficult or even impossible to continue cultivating it in the future.
"Iwagakure..."
"Sanyo, Chongyan..."
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 the Iwagakure and Sand ninjas are consumed, the more beneficial it is for Konoha."
To be honest, he looked down on the strategies of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo.
Danzo was too radical, and it was indeed not good for Konoha to join the war too early.
And Sarutobi Hiruzen was too conservative and negative.
At this time, you must be a troublemaker!
Thinking of the Iwagakure who attacked him just now, Hoshita Shuichi's eyes became sharp, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Let's start with the Iwagakure!"
"We must increase their strength!"
"Well, let's go back to Konoha to replenish our chakra first."
"Take the bodies back too, so that they won't be stolen."
Hoshita Shuichi was still a little afraid of Black Zetsu and White Zetsu. They
are too good at hiding.
He put away the scroll and disappeared.
...
The body was sent to the experimental base, and when the clones were released, it happened to be when Shuichi Hoshita and Asuka had just finished their training, and it was almost 10 o'clock.
After washing up, Shuichi Hoshita said goodnight to Yakushi Nono and Asuka. After returning to the bedroom, Shuichi Hoshita unsealed the seal on his abdomen, releasing a huge amount of chakra, and based on this, he split into two shadow clones.
Since he wanted to intervene in the war, he had to be strong, so of course he had to have one on each side.
However, the Rock Ninja had mastered his chakra characteristics, and many Sand Ninja knew about him, including some perception ninjas, so he had to be careful.
The best way was to kill all those who knew about it...
The two shadow clones disappeared from the room, and Shuichi Hoshita also lay down and fell asleep peacefully.
...
The Kingdom of Wind, underground base.
Shuichi Hoshita's two shadow clones appeared, one of them stayed, and the other used Flying Thunder God again to disappear.
In the air, Shuichi Hoshita turned into a crow and came to the sky above the battlefield where he had collected the body before.
After circling for a while, the crow descended in altitude, and then turned from a crow into a moth.
The temporary camp of the Rock Ninjas was surrounded by high walls. The Rock Ninjas who were on guard were either sitting on the high walls or hiding in the darkness.
There were several bonfires inside the high walls, bringing warmth to the entire camp.
A moth flying towards the bonfire did not attract the attention of the Rock Ninjas.
The Rock Ninjas who were on guard did not pay attention to the sky, or to 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 cannot fly. The
Rock Ninjas who were resting inside the high walls were not by the bonfire, but in a semi-open semicircular earth mound created by earth escape.
After flying around the bonfire, the moth flew into an earth mound.
There were a total of four Rock Ninjas living here, just one team.
Nirvana Jingshe Technique!
The four Rock Ninjas who were only half asleep and half awake went directly into a deep sleep.
However, Hoshita Shuichi did not kill them directly, but flew out again and entered other earth mounds, and the Rock Ninjas were deeply hypnotized one by one.
But an accident soon occurred. A Rock Ninja Jonin was awakened when the moth entered and was able to withstand the Nirvana Monastery technique.
But just as the Rock Ninja had completely freed himself from the illusion, and before he could warn his other companions, another illusion was cast by Shuichi Hoshita.
Golden Binding Technique!
The Rock Ninja jonin was bound and couldn't even speak, but Shuichi Hoshita could feel that the bondage wouldn't last long.
Unable to hide any longer, Shuichi Hoshita turned from a moth into a horse platform for the Sand Ninja. The
Rock Ninja jonin widened his eyes and struggled with all his might to break free from the control of the illusion.
Buzz!
Shuichi Hoshita raised his right hand, and the wind chakra covered him. The high-speed flowing wind chakra created a terrible cutting ability. With a swing, the Rock Ninja jonin who had just broken free from the control of the illusion was cut off.
Gugu!
The Rock Ninja jonin fell down, holding his neck.
But the fluctuations of Shuichi Hoshita's ninjutsu alarmed the Rock Ninja who were on guard outside.
"Who is using ninjutsu?"
The Rock Ninja on the high wall suddenly turned around, then shrugged his nose, and his face changed drastically: "Not good!"
"Enemy attack!"
The sharp cry woke up the other Rock Ninjas who were not under the illusion.
At this time, Shuichi Hoshita had already turned into a gust of wind and came out of the earth mound. The next moment, a powerful storm broke out from the center of the Rock Ninja camp and blew in all directions.
The ground was hardened by Rock Ninja, so there was no sand, but the campfire was blown out, and the strong wind also stopped the Rock Ninja from advancing.
Then, the Dark Walk Technique!
In an instant, all the awakened Rock Ninjas were deprived of their vision, and their eyes fell into absolute darkness.
"Damn it, this technique is not from Sand Ninja, it's from Konoha!"
An older Rock Ninja Jonin shouted.
However, the ordinary method of unlocking illusions could not quickly allow them to unlock this technique, and for a while no Rock Ninja dared to release the ninjutsu.
After the Dark Walk Technique, Shuichi Hoshita inhaled and exhaled from his mouth, and a series of sharp winds swept out.
Puff puff puff!
Ah~~
blood splattered, and screams resounded through the night sky.
One Rock Ninja after another fell, and some Rock Ninjas were embarrassed and narrowly avoided the attack.
Wind Style - Vacuum Wave! With one move, the trash of the Rock Ninja were basically wiped out.
Then, Shuichi Hoshita picked up a ninja sword from the ground, covered the wind chakra on the blade, and rushed towards a Rock Ninja jonin.
"Asshole, come on!"
The Rock Ninja jonin shouted angrily, his skin hardened, holding a kunai, and responding with hearing.
He was ready to withstand the opponent's attack and get a chance to counterattack.
However, his hardened skin was indeed impossible to break through the blade, and even the chakra with the wind ninjutsu nature might not be fatal.
But he happened to meet Shuichi Hoshita, whose wind ninjutsu nature had reached a rare level in the ninja world.
Not only did he fail to withstand the sword, but he also failed to seize the opportunity to counterattack.
In the darkness, Shuichi Hoshita was like a ghost, harvesting the lives of the Rock Ninja with screams and terrified roars.
After a while, including those who were hypnotized, the Rock Ninja were killed by Shuichi Hoshita.
After collecting the bodies of the three Rock Ninja jonin, Shuichi Hoshita disappeared from the camp full of blood.
Meanwhile, the Sand Ninjas had sensed something was wrong and immediately sent out the Ninja Eagles to investigate.
Soon, the Sand Ninjas arrived at the Rock Ninja camp, which was littered with corpses, and looked at each other in bewilderment.
After checking for a while, they found that everyone had died from the Wind Style.
"It seems that the village has sent reinforcements!"
"It should be an elite jonin team!"
"What a sharp Wind Style!"
"Who could it be?"
The Sand Ninjas began to discuss.
Several Sand Ninja jonins discussed it and also felt that the village had sent reinforcements for the raid.
This was good news for them. The original huge pressure disappeared in an instant, and they could even counterattack tomorrow.
On the other side, after the shadow clone of Hoshishita Hideki returned to the base, another clone took over and went out in another battlefield. In a similar way, he sneaked into the Rock Ninja camp, killed all the Rock Ninjas, and took away several corpses.
Although there were two small battlefields, the impact was huge.
There was a gap in the defense line, so that the Rock Ninjas were in a hard fight the next day, and finally the front line collapsed and had to retreat.
On the third day, when Shuichi Hoshita discovered that Luosha had appeared on the battlefield, he immediately became cautious and stopped attacking. Instead, he turned into a crow or vulture and quietly observed the battlefield and his old rival Luosha.
This guy has indeed undergone a huge transformation. He has abandoned the powerful iron sand of the Third Kazekage and used the heavier gold sand.
But it must be said that gold sand is more suitable in a place like the Wind Country. Hiding in the desert has a stronger concealment.
Luosha led the Sand Ninja to launch an extremely fierce counterattack, causing the Rock Ninja to suffer heavy losses and retreat again and again.
"Times make heroes!"
Shuichi Hoshita couldn't help but sigh secretly.
...
Konoha Village, Experimental Base.
Shuichi Hoshita, who was studying the Eight-Tails, turned his head and looked at Tsunade's voice. Tsunade
stood at the door and said, "The Anbu is looking for you!"
Shuichi Hoshita nodded, leaving the Shadow Clone to continue working, and he left the experimental base. Sarutobi Shinnosuke was waiting outside.
"Hey, this is your application form for becoming a jonin. Take it back, fill it out, and give it to me!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke took out a form and gave it to Hoshita Shuichi.
Jonin?
Shuichi Hoshita 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, there must be enough workload.
Even if he adds the medical treatment mission of Konoha Hospital, it should not be enough.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke smiled and said, "So, take more missions recently!"
Hmm?
Shuichi Hoshita felt something unusual.
Is this a preparation for the war that may break out next?
To shape young talents and boost morale?
At this time, Sarutobi Shinnosuke took out another scroll and unfolded it: "These missions are more suitable for you, Shuichi!"
Shuichi Hoshita took it and looked at it. They were all missions to spy on information.
Rock Ninja, Sand Ninja.
Shuichi Hoshita almost suspected that the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen knew about his little trick.
But think about it, it shouldn't be.
Although the Third Hokage has voyeurism, he won't peek at him sleeping.
Then the arrangement of the mission is based on his ability.
Infiltration technique!
After understanding it in his mind, Shuichi Hoshita nodded and said, "I understand!"
"Then, should we intervene in the war between the Sand Ninja and the Rock Ninja?"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke was surprised: "Intervene?"
"How to intervene?"
Shuichi Hoshita 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!"
Shuichi Hoshita nodded, then waved his hand and turned back to the experimental base.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke stood there and pondered for a moment before leaving.
Hokage's office.
After listening to his son's report, Sarutobi Hiruzen fell into deep thought. After a moment, he looked up and asked, "What do you think of this proposal?"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke said honestly, "I agree with Shuichi's proposal very much. Although there are great risks, the benefits outweigh the risks."
"According to the situation of the past two ninja wars, the war between Sand Ninja and Rock Ninja will sooner or later affect us."
"And now, weakening Sand Ninja and Rock Ninja will benefit us regardless of whether the war will spread to the Land of Fire."
"This is a proposal with benefits that completely outweigh the risks. It is totally worth doing."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke then hesitated for a moment and smiled bitterly, "Moreover, with Shuichi's personality, he has a great dislike for Rock Ninja and Sand 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 good, a genius, but it is very worry-free.
Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Tsunade, and now Shuichi Hoshita, although they are all good, none of them is worry-free.
Although Shuichi Hoshita completed the mission very well, such a character is inevitably 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 fixed: "Sure enough, they have taken action!"
Then he no longer hesitated and said to Sarutobi Shinnosuke: "Let Shuichi do it!"
"Understood!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded, and then disappeared.
...
When returning home from the experimental base in the afternoon, Shuichi Hoshita met Sarutobi Shinnosuke again, and immediately understood that the proposal must have been passed.
After conveying Sarutobi Hiruzen's decision, Sarutobi Shinnosuke advised: "Focus on collecting intelligence and don't take risks."
Shuichi Hoshita smiled and said: "Captain, don't worry, you know, I cherish my life." Sarutobi Shinnosuke smiled
bitterly.
Cherish your life, but no one can compare to crazy!
"Chihiro and I are waiting for you to attend our wedding!"
"Let's have our child worship you as his master!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke couldn't help but admire: "I think there is no better ninjutsu teacher in Konoha than you!"
Hoshita Shuichi immediately smiled and said: "Then it's settled!"
"But don't blame me when the time comes, Captain!"
After saying that, 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 Shuichi Hoshita's last sentence.
