"catch..."
Before Sarutobi Shinnosuke had time to be happy, the swamp that trapped Ai had dried up, and then exploded with a bang. Ai, covered in electric light, soared into the air, just avoiding Nara Satoshi's shadow secret technique.
"Failed, damn it!"
Nara Satoshi hurriedly chased after Ai's figure, but he could only see a long streak of lightning, and then a series of roars sounded in his ears.
A wall of mud!
A raging torrent of water!
A river of mud!
Next is the vacuum Wave.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Chihiro used a series of ninjutsu in succession, but they failed to stop Ai's body at all. He was completely broken through by his extremely brutal and terrifying. .
Facing the wind escape that hit him in the face, Killer Bee had no way to avoid it. However, an octopus tail quietly extended out from behind him and stood in front of him like a shield. At the same time, another octopus swam quickly from the ground, went around behind Hoshita Shuichi and suddenly attacked.
The octopus' tail blocking Killer Bee was cut off. Hoshita Shuichi used the Force in the air to avoid being caught by another octopus, and the blue flame on the Ame-no-Murasaki sword in his hand surged again.
Azure Flame Waterfall Sword!
More than ten meters away, Hoshita Shuichi slashed at Killer Bee again.
But this time, Killer Bee did not choose to defend. Instead, he used three octopus tails to wrap his sword and stabbed it at Hoshita Shuichi in the air. He himself held the sword with both hands, and electric light burst out on the sword.
He was gambling!
If Hoshita Shuichi dared not to dodge his attack, then he would also take Hoshita Shuichi's attack head-on, and the outcome would depend on who had the stronger defense.
But Killer Bee believed that the other person must be the one who died.
However, Hoshita Shuichi in the air had an idea, and the Eight Trigram Seal and Yin Seal on his abdomen were completely opened, and the surging chakra poured out.
Bang, bang, bang!
Three fire Release clones appeared, and then raised their hands and curved their claws. Orange-red flames emerged, and then formed a lifelike dragon head. The dragon head opened its mouth, and the blazing white flames inside condensed into a ball, and then the blazing white flames burst out at the speed of light.
S-class Fire Release, Dragon Flame Breath - One Sword to Slash Through the Worlds!
This is a high temperature ray!
At first, Hoshita Shuichi used his mouth, but the temperature was too high, so he switched to using his hands. He first condensed the dragon head to form a structure similar to the human mouth, which could highly compress chakra and also served as a heat-insulating layer.
At this time, three high-temperature rays extended out, and as the Fire Clone waved its arms, it cut off the Eight-Tails' octopus tail.
At the same time, Hoshita Shuichi's Azure Flame Waterfall Sword also chopped down Killer Bee's crossed swords. Thunder and fire collided, the earth cracked, and with a click, Killer Bee's feet sank.
But he blocked it!
In the collision, Hoshita Shuichi's transparent Azure Flame Waterfall Sword exploded, and balls of blue flames scattered to the ground.
"Bee, watch out for those flames!"
Inside Killer Bee's body, Eight-Tails shouted a warning.
"Um?"
Killer Bee looked at the ball of fire beside him, and then saw the fire turn into a bud and begin to bloom.
"This is... not good!"
Cold sweat broke out on Killer Bee's forehead.
The next moment, the flames splashing around him turned into blooming fire lotuses, and then... boom!
A series of explosions formed a blanket of blue flames, like a blue hellfire.
At this moment, Yamanaka Shinichi and Tomo Nara, who found it almost impossible to intervene in such a battle, were extremely shocked.
"Compare!"
Ai was extremely furious and anxious, even though he knew that such an attack, although terrible, might not be able to seriously injure Killer Bee.
So, he violently passed through the dense attacks launched by Sarutobi Shinnosuke using the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique, his figure flashed, and he completely broke through the obstruction of Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Chihiro, and rushed towards Hoshita Shuichi in the air.
"Flame, be careful!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke shouted and threw out a shuriken. With one hand raised, the originally small shuriken suddenly turned into a giant shuriken, spinning at high speed and flying towards Ai who appeared behind Hoshita Shuichi.
The most important thing is that this shuriken was infused with wind chakra.
But Ai ignored it and continued to punch Hoshita Shuichi.
Twist around and swung the sword.
The next moment, an octopus tail knocked the giant shuriken away, and Ai's fist hit the Ame-no-Murasaki sword covered in blue flames.
Boom!
Hoshita Shuichi fell down, creating a big hole on the ground.
But Ai's hand, which had no arm guard, was also burned by the terrible high temperature of the Ame-no-Murasaki sword, leaving his skin and flesh torn.
The most important thing is that Hoshita Shuichi's three fire clones were released at this moment, turned into flower buds, and then bloomed and exploded.
Boom!
Explosions occurred in three directions at the same time, and they were directed towards Ai, forming a terrible flame shock wave. Ai, who had lost his leverage in the air, was unable to resist and was immediately engulfed by the flames.
"Brother!"
Killer Bee on the ground yelled anxiously.
In the explosion just now, he wrapped himself with the octopus tail at the critical moment. Although he was burned to death, his body was not injured.
He even blocked Sarutobi Shinnosuke's giant shuriken at the critical moment.
Seeing that Ai had suffered the same attack as himself, scarlet tailed beast chakra immediately appeared on his body. He broke free from Nara Satoshi's shadow imitation technique with great Force, rushed towards Ai who was blown away and fell, leaped up and caught Ai.
Looking at Ai, who was covered in burns, Killer Bee asked hurriedly, "Brother, are you okay?"
Ai shook his head and gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay!"
"However, I didn't expect this brat to be more difficult to deal with than Konoha White Fang."
Looking at Hoshita Shuichi who was pulled out of the pit by Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Chihiro, Killer Bee nodded and said solemnly: "This guy is very unusual... I have never seen such a style before. His ninjutsu does not seem to require hand seals at all, or it is extremely concealed."
"Moreover, his reaction was extremely fast. In that situation, he was able to turn around and block your attack."
Ai nodded and snorted coldly: "It seems that this mission will fail!"
An unknown kid is so difficult to deal with, and if Konoha White Fang comes again... there are also those two ninjutsu masters.
Killer Bee pushed up his sunglasses and said, "I didn't expect that I would encounter such a strong enemy just after becoming famous. This is Konoha, bastard, idiot!"
"Retreat!"
Ai shout.
Killer Bee nodded, looked deeply at Hoshita Shuichi, and then quickly evacuated with Ai.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke did not order a pursuit, as it would be difficult for them to stop such a strong man.
By this time, Hoshita Shuichi had also recovered his breath.
As expected of the future Fourth Raikage, his power is terrifying.
Fortunately, the quality of the Ama-no-Mura sword was good enough, and he used the Yin Healing and Destruction Technique at the critical moment to condense the chakra on his back in advance.
Otherwise, if he landed with that kind of impact, he would have vomited blood.
Even so, the recoil almost made him suffocate.
And the bones in both arms were broken.
However, this was considered a minor injury for him and he has now recovered.
Looking at the retreating AB team, Hoshita Shuichi sighed: "It's a pity that there is no chance to use the wind escape spiral shuriken..."
There is no way that Ai can remain unscathed by his Wind Release Rasenshuriken now.
At this time, Nara Satoshi and Yamanaka Shinichi carried the unconscious Akimichi Shigeiwa over.
Hoshita Shuichi hurriedly checked and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, he was just stunned by the electric current, and his internal organs were injured. There is no fatal injury."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke and others breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"Flame, I'll leave the power to you!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke said, and then went to negotiate with the leader of theHot Springs Ninja Village.
Now that the AB combination has withdrawn, it is the best time to transfer the evil secret Illusion.
Hoshita Shuichio's palms glowed with green chakra and pressed on Akimichi Shigeiwa's exposed chest to heal the latter's injured internal organs.
As for electric current injuries on the skin, they are not that urgent.
"Flame, this time it's all thanks to you!"
Chihiro's tone was extremely sincere, and she even felt a lingering fear in her heart.
She thought her illusion skills were pretty good, but when faced with the AB combination, they completely lost their effectiveness.
This was not anticipated before the war, especially for Ai.
As for Chihiro's words, Nara Satoshi and Yamanaka Shinichi also agreed very much.
Nara Satoshi said: "The speed and attack power of these two people are very strong. The strength of that Jinchuriki is so terrifying that he even broke free from the shadow imitation technique."
Yamanaka Shinichi smiled bitterly and said, "They are too fast to be caught at all."
They played almost no role in this battle.
Even Akimichi Shigeya was defeated by Ai in one move.
Incredibly powerful!
As he was speaking, a figure suddenly appeared.
Chihiro and the others immediately became alert, but then relaxed and spoke one after another: "Senior!"
"Are you okay?"
Hatake Sakumo looked at the devastated battlefield and stepped forward with his sword.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke appeared and said, "Sakumo-senpai, only Shuichi and Shigeiwa were slightly injured."
"This time, it's all thanks to Shuichi."
Hoshita Shuichi shook his head and said, "Captain, if you didn't hold Ai back, I wouldn't be able to fight against Killer Bee."
"That guy has the power of a tailed beast."
He was also a little helpless. If it were a senior ninja, he would have been killed by him and blown to pieces. However, Killer Bee was fine and could even help Ai.
Based on the traces on the battlefield and the words of Sarutobi Shinnosuke and the others, Hatake Sakumo has already understood that Hoshita Shuichi was the main Force in this battle.
"No matter what, well done for stopping the AB team!"
Hatake Sakumo praised with a smile, and then explained: "A new Lava Release Bloodline ninja has arrived in the Cloud Ninja."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke's mind moved: "Is it Dodai, the important minister of the Third Raikage?"
Hatake Sakumo nodded: "It's him, and he's a powerful person too."
After listening to it, Hoshita Shuichi also remembered who it was.
The Cloud Ninja, who can use chakra to turn into rubber, can perform ninjutsu at an extremely fast speed and seems to be very experienced in dealing with high-attack and high-speed enemies.
Yamanaka Shinichi sighed: "I didn't expect the Cloud Ninja to dispatch such a strong man to hold back the senior. It seems that the Cloud Ninja was determined to win before."
Chihiro laughed and said, "But Shuichi broke the plan!"
Hoshita Shuichi was helpless.
But today's performance was indeed a little bit outstanding.
But he knew very well that without the chakra stored in the Yin Seal, there would be no way to carry out such a high-intensity, high-consumption battle.
"Body, body, please grow up quickly..."
After the battle, the next night was peaceful, and the Ninja Village of Hot Springs successfully transferred the evil secret technique.
By the next morning, Akimichi Shigeiwa's injuries had basically healed.
At nine o'clock in the morning, led by the leader of theHot Springs Ninja Village, a group of high-ranking officials of theHot Springs Ninja Village saw off Hoshita Shuichi and others.
In particular, many eyes were turned to Hoshita Shuichi who was wearing a mask.
In the battle last night, because he needed the Senbon, Hoshita Shuichi took off his mask.
The leader of theHot Springs Ninja Village at that time and two surviving jonin witnessed Hoshita Shuichi's brilliant battle with their own eyes.
It's a pity that such a talented young man is not from the Ninja Village!
Because they were returning with Hatake Sakumo's team, the speed of Hoshita Shuichi and the others also slowed down.
It took us until 5pm to get from the Ninja Village to Konoha.
In the locker room, after taking off their equipment, Hoshita Shuichi and Chihiro chatted with the others while laughing.
And it is obvious that after this mission, they have become closer to each other.
In particular, Akimichi Shigeiwa said that he wanted to invite Hoshita Shuichi to the barbecue restaurant opened by the Akimichi clan to taste the Akimichi clan's unique secret barbecue.
Nara Satoshi and the others also joined in the fun, praising the Akimichi clan's secret barbecue.
How could Hoshita Shuichi refuse such a generous invitation, so he naturally agreed.
at the same time.
Hokage's office.
After Hatake Sakumo, Sarutobi Shinnosuke reported the situation of the mission to Sarutobi Hiruzen alone, especially the wonderful battle between Hoshita Shuichi and the AB combination.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was also very shocked after hearing this, and then he couldn't help but smile: "I didn't expect Shuichi to grow so fast. It seems that what Minato said is right. Shuichi's talent in ninjutsu is amazing, surpassing his teacher."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded: "I'm afraid that's true."
"Even your father is not as good as Shuichi's fire jutsu. He revealed before the battle that he had developed an S-rank ninjutsu for wind jutsu, but he didn't use it in this battle."
"But I'm sure it won't be weaker than his Fire Release."
Sarutobi Hiruzen listened thoughtfully: "Wind Release... I'm afraid it's related to Minato's technique."
After thinking for a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "If Shuichi needs any ninjutsu in the future, as long as it is not a forbidden technique, you can give it to him!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded: "Yes, father!"
"Go ahead, don't keep them waiting too long."
In the locker room, after Sarutobi Shinnosuke came back, the group went to the barbecue restaurant run by the Akimichi clan.
After just taking the first bite, Hoshita Shuichi couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Great!"
"Brother Shigeiwa, you are not exaggerating at all!"
Akimichi Shigeiwa laughed: "Of course!"
"We love to eat, so we also like to study eating."
"Come on, Shuichi. The team is eating, but no one is better than me!"
Nara Satoshi complained: "Your clan can store chakra as fat!"
Akimichi Shigeiwa smiled and said, "But it needs to be digested first."
While they were talking, Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Chihiro were also chatting and laughing.
Hoshita Shuichi glanced over and asked with a smile: "Captain and Sister Chihiro are a couple, right?"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke smiled and nodded.
Chihiro smiled and said, "Shuichi is so outstanding, there should be girls who like him, right?"
Hoshita Shuichi immediately said seriously: "Sister Chihiro, I am 9 years old!"
Everyone laughed.
The atmosphere was lively as we ate and talked.
Before they knew it, an hour had passed, and Sarutobi Shinnosuke and the others had stopped and looked at Hoshita Shuichi in surprise.
"Shuichi, you have such a big appetite."
"What an enviable physique!"
After a moment of exclamation, Nara Satoshi encouraged: "Come on, as a newcomer, the responsibility of breaking the heavy rock record is left to you!"
Chihiro poured tea for Hoshita Shuichi to help him relieve his greasy feeling.
Akimichi Shigeiwa was not worried at all and said with a smile: "Satoshi, Shuichi may be very powerful, but he is too young. There is no way he can defeat me!"
Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said nothing, but his eating movements were not slow at all.
He released the chakra sealed in his abdomen yesterday, and now is the time to replenish it.
Of course, as Akimichi Shigeiwa said before, food cannot be directly refined into chakra. It needs to be digested by the body and become physical strength.
But Hoshita Shuichi's physical condition was improved twice, and his digestive ability naturally improved as well.
Furthermore, there is the [Strong Body] Talent which increases recovery ability by 100%.
Physical recovery is also included, and physical recovery is related to the functioning of all internal organs, including digestive ability.
So, in fact, Hoshita Shuichi now has an extremely amazing digestive ability.
He didn't know whether he could compare with Akimichi Shigeiwa, but he would compare himself now.
As a result, more and more plates piled up next to the two of them.
The diners in the restaurant gradually gathered around and cheered for Hoshita Shuichi.
Who cares if he is young and naturally at a disadvantage?
An hour later, Hoshita Shuichi and Shigeiwa Akimichi stopped at the same time, smiled at each other, and sat down.
I can't eat anymore!
Bang bang bang!
There was loud applause.
"Well done, Shuichi!"
"It's amazing that he even defeated Shigeiwa. You know, Shigeiwa is not weak in the Akimichi clan."
Listening to everyone's praise, Hoshita Shuichi, who was fed a sip of tea by Chihiro, touched his round belly comfortably, and then turned his attention to the Talent tree in his mind.
Just now, a new Talent was triggered.
Talent: Big Eater
Conditions for obtaining: Convince a store to hold a big eater competition and win first place in the competition.
Effect: Physical fitness increased by 100%
recovery ability increased by 100%,
and digestion ability increased by 100%.
Hoshita Shuichi's eyes lit up, three 100%.
The most important thing is to improve your physical fitness.
The other two are also very useful.
There is no need to say much about recovery ability, and improved digestion ability actually helps to increase recovery speed.
The faster a Solider pill is digested, the faster your physical strength will recover, and naturally the faster your chakra will recover.
"It's a good thing. We have to find a way to get it."
Hoshita Shuichi was "appetizing", and when the onlookers had dispersed, he smiled and said, "Brother Shigeiwa, what do you think about holding a big eating competition that the whole village can participate in?"
Akimichi Shigeiwa's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Competition for big eaters?"
Hoshita Shuichi nodded.
Yamanaka Shinichi smiled and said, "There should be a lot of ninjas participating in the village. It will definitely be very lively then."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke and the others also nodded, feeling that Hoshita Shuichi's proposal was indeed very interesting.
Akimichi Shigeiwa was very interested, but he scratched his head and said awkwardly: "Shuichi, your suggestion is of course very good, but if the whole village participates, I'm afraid it will cost a lot!"
Hoshita Shuichi laughed and said, "Of course we can't use grilled meat like beef as food."
"The Akimichi clan should also have some noodles that they are good at and can be made quickly, right?"
Upon hearing this, Akimichi Shigeiwa immediately smiled and gave a thumbs up.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke smiled and said, "It looks like we can have free noodles from the Akimichi clan then."
Chihiro smiled and raised her fist to Hoshita Shuichi, saying, "Shuichi, we will all cheer for you when the time comes. Try to win the first place in the eating contest!"
Akimichi Shigeiwa immediately became unconvinced: "Hey Chihiro, you underestimate me too much!"
