Konoha's entry is ninja!

Konoha 43, April 24th.

Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki are officially married.

Although the wedding was not grand and not many people came, it was very important and very lively.

The third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen served as the witness.

All the Sannin of Konoha are in place, including Uchiha Fugaku, Hinata Hizashi, Hatake Sakumo, as well as the leader of the Shimura clan, a good friend and companion of Minato Namikaze from the Inorakacho clan.

From these people, Hoshixia Shuichi had already vaguely seen some signs.

But... Jiraiya is just too unreliable.

He actually created a shadow clone to replace the busy Shuichi Hoshishita, and then dragged Shuichi Hoshishita to the corner to ask for material.

Hoshixia showed a dark face. As a good student, how could he do such a thing?

What if you are discovered?

Although he wanted to be famous in the ninja world, it was definitely not in this "body art" way.

So Hoshita Shuichi sternly refused, but said that they could find another time to study together.

…

In the afternoon, after sending all the guests away, Hoshita Shuichi, Kakashi, Uchiha Shisui, and Uchiha Obito all felt tired.

"I didn't expect getting married would be so troublesome."

Uchiha Obito complained: "It would be nice if I could save this step in the future."

Kakashi immediately took out his sword: "You don't have to get married in the future!"

Uchiha Obito immediately became anxious and secretly glanced at Nohara Rin.

Uchiha Shisui smiled gently and said: "Don't worry Obito, when you get married in the future, other people will be busy."

"Look at Minato-sensei, he is very happy now!"

Hoshita Shuichi and others turned to look, and Minato Namikaze was indeed smiling happily, even though his ears were being pulled by Kushina Uzumaki at the moment.

Hoshita Shuichi couldn't help but secretly complain: I vomited after eating this dog food today.

Uchiha Obito secretly muttered: "Kushina is too violent, but Rin is more gentle."

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but peek at Nohara Lin who was still busy, with a shy smile on his face.

Noticing this scene, Hoshita Shuichi couldn't help but asked teasingly: "Obito, do you have a girl you like?"

Uchiha Obito was so startled that he jumped up and hurriedly defended: "No!"

"Xiuyi, don't talk nonsense."

Hoshixia Xiuyi smiled and said: "If there is, don't miss it and express your love bravely."

"Look at Asuma, he's already taken down Hong."

Kakashi said abruptly: "Shuichi, you also like Shizune, right?"

The embarrassed Uchiha Obito immediately found his way: "Shuichi, Kakashi is right, hum, are you and Shizune already together?"

Hoshixia Xiuyi spread his hands: "I'm not denying it!"

So arrogant!

Uchiha Obito blushed in anger.

Shuichi Hoshita immediately suggested with a smile: "Obito, why don't we have a duel, and the loser can confess his feelings to the girl he likes!"

Uchiha Obito was not fooled at all, and curled his lips and said: "You are already a special jounin. There is no chance of winning against you!"

Hoshita Shuichi looked at Kakashi: "Then let's fight Kakashi!"

Uchiha Obito looked at Kakashi, a little hesitant, but also a little eager to try.

At this time, Uzumaki Kushina's voice came, and everyone immediately followed the sound and looked over, and saw Uzumaki Kushina waving to them.

The topic stopped abruptly.

Destiny!

Hoshita Shuichi sighed secretly, and went to Uzumaki Kushina with Kakashi and the others.

…

Dinner was still at teacher Minato Namikaze's house. After parting with Kakashi and the others, Shuichi Hoshita and Asuka strolled home together.

Although it was night, the market in the core area of ​​Konoha was still very bustling and lively. The sounds of hawkers and the sounds of children crying, laughing and playing were full of life.

Hoshixia Xiuyi watched these quietly with his hands in his pockets. Listening to this, he couldn't help but have a faint smile on his lips.

This feels very good!

Next to her, Asuka's eyes were more focused on Shuichi Hoshita.

She felt that there was always a mysterious aura about this young man, which attracted people's attention unconsciously.

"Sister Asuka, do you have any ideals?"

Hoshita Shuichi suddenly asked.

Asuka was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course."

"That means I can always live like this with Shuichi and Sister Noonoyu."

Hoshixia Xiuyi raised his eyebrows: "This ideal is not so easy to realize!"

Asuka was startled: "Is this... very difficult?"

Hoshixia showed off: "Because Asuka-sama will also fall in love with someone else in the future, right?"

Asuka breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Where is it? Shuichi, don't think too much!"

Hoshita Xiuichi smiled, but felt the strength of the bond more and more.

If you are not a ruthless person, you will always have ties, feelings, and reluctance after getting along for a long time.

Just like Konoha now, he enjoyed the peace at this moment and didn't want him to ruin it.

There are also Yakushi Nonou, Shizune, Tsunade, Uzumaki Kushina, Namikaze Minato... Each person is like a thread, woven into a net, and he is caught in the net!

Hoshita Shuichi originally just wanted to live a good life, but now he wants more.

"Sister Asuka, you have to work very hard for your ideals!"

Hoshita Shuichi suddenly laughed and then jumped up.

This moment of enjoyment is enough. Next, we must continue to work hard until...until we stand at the top!

"Of course, I have been working hard!"

Asuka clenched her fists and then jumped after him.

…

In the evening, Asuka and Nonoyu studied medical ninjutsu in the study, while Shuichi Hoshita practiced lightning escape in the yard.

As far as teleportation techniques are concerned in the usual sense, the most common and basic one is naturally the burst of pure chakra, which propels the body to move at high speed.

For ninjas, most of them use this type, but everyone has different tricks and explosive power, which creates different movement speeds.

In addition, the instantaneous body technique formed by adding different properties changes is added.

Water teleportation, moving at high speed in the water field.

The wind flashed, and under the star Xiu Bai used to remember Ice Escape, coming and going like the wind.

The most famous ones for Lightning Release are undoubtedly the third generation Raikage of Kumo Ninja and the future fourth generation Raikage.

Under the Thunder Release Chakra Mode, the speed can be said to be the fastest in the ninja world.

The only ones that could be faster than them were time and space teleportation techniques like Flying Thunder God.

Even Naruto, who had just opened the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, could not say he was stronger than the Fourth Raikage at that time.

It can be seen that in terms of speed, Thunder Release Instant Body has an innate advantage.

As for the lightning escape chakra mode, in addition to the cloud ninja's thunder escape chakra mode, the most typical one is the Chidori technique.

The change in the properties of Thunder Escape activates cells and increases the speed, which is the Lightning Escape Instant Body.

However, the Chidori style is obviously far from being comparable to the Thunder Release Chakra mode of the Kumo ninja.

But it can still be called A-level difficulty.

Shuichi Hoshita was now covered in electric light, moving at high speed in the yard, using the Chidori Style exchanged from Kakashi.

However, Hoshita Shuichi does not intend to use the Chidori Style as his Lightning Release.

Although it is A level, it is not difficult for him who has obtained [Thunder Escape Expert] and many entries to improve his talent.

Shuichi Hoshita, who has stronger chakra control, better understanding of the human body, stronger spirit, and spiritual will, can completely activate his own cells with Thunder Chakra.

And this also requires step-by-step in-depth and testing, and at the same time, let the cells in various parts of the body get used to the stimulation of electric current.

Even different cells have different endurance capabilities. So how to optimize and maximize the overall activation? These details need to be explored step by step.

The prerequisites Hoshita Shuichi possesses only speed up the process of exploration.

…

Time flies so fast, and the holidays pass in the blink of an eye amid the practice and experiments.

The mission resumed, but for Shuichi Hoshita, the difference was not particularly big.

Of course, with the guidance of Sarutobi Shinnosuke, the progress of water escape and earth escape will indeed be faster.

On May 16, Konoha 43, during lunch, Sarutobi Shinnosuke suddenly said: "Shuichi, I want to tell you some bad news."

"Eh?"

Hoshita Shuichi was stunned for a moment: "Not good news?"

Chihiro on the side said first: "Shuichi, you are being rewarded!"

"ah?"

Hoshita Shuichi didn't react for a moment: "A reward?"

"It seems I was exposed..."

"Iwa ninja or Kumo ninja? How much bounty?"

Qianxun raised three fingers: "Thirty million!"

"According to the news, the reward was issued by Iwagakure Village!"

Hoshita Shuichi chuckled: "Thirty million is not a lot!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke shook his head: "This is quite a lot. It is completely treated as a Jonin, even an elite Jonin."

Hoshixia Xiuyi smiled and said: "I remember the captain's bounty is 40 million, right?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke smiled bitterly, his 40 million was increased by the son of the Hokage.

Chihiro warned: "Shuichi, you should be careful when going on solo missions in the future. There are many people in the ninja world who specialize in bounty hunters, and many of them are S-level wanted targets. They are very powerful."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke also said solemnly: "Chihiro is right."

Xingxia Xiu nodded and put away his joking expression.

He naturally knew about bounty hunters. For example, the famous Kakuzu was this type of person before he entered Akatsuki, and he was still the best.

Even after entering Akatsuki, Kakuzu is still keen on trading his head for money.

Such as Asma, such as Earthland.

Kakuzu is also proficient in the five major escape techniques, he is very strong!

…

In the afternoon, Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Chihiro left for business, leaving Hoshita Shuichi alone on duty next door to the Hokage's office.

The memory of the shadow clone who stayed outside to practice suddenly came back, and the entry tree in his mind immediately started to move.

Spiritual manifestation, Hoshixia Xiuyi appeared under the entry tree.

This is something he recently explored, similar to the spiritual world under the chakra link.

Looking up at the entry tree, [Water Escape Expert] finally reached the standard of lighting up and activating.

Light up!

Hoshixia Xiuyi thought, the leaves immediately lit up, and the effects took effect immediately.

The water escape talent is increased by 100%, and Muyin uses the water escape ninjutsu.

"There is only one Earth Escape left before we gather all the Five Escape experts..."

Hoshita Xiuichi is looking forward to it.

However, even if he gets the [Doctor of Ninjutsu] entry, his priority will still be to fly the Thunder God.

After cultivating the Flying Thunder God, go back and turn the five-escape expert into a five-escape master.

I just don’t know if I can trigger an entry stronger than [Doctor of Ninjutsu] later.

Just as he was thinking about it, Shuichi Hoshita suddenly heard Kakashi's voice coming from next door, and then his teacher Minato Namikaze.

Hoshita Shuichi immediately concentrated.

What happened?

Hoshita Shuichi vaguely heard something about Hatake Sakumo.

Soon, he heard Namikaze Minato and Kakashi leaving.

"What on earth is going on?"

Just as he was thinking about it, Hoshita Shuichi heard Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice coming over: "Fire!"

Hoshita Shuichi's figure immediately sank to the floor, and then rose from the ground of the Hokage's office next door: "The Third Hokage!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly: "It has been confirmed that the Jounin Hatake Sakumo who is on a mission is missing!"

Hoshixia Xiuyi suddenly raised his head, with a stunned expression under his mask.

Konoha White Fang is missing?

Are you kidding me?

Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to see Hoshita Shuichi's astonishment, and sighed: "Sakumo is performing a secret mission alone this time. According to the previous agreement, in half a month, regardless of whether the mission is completed or not, he must retreat. Return to Konoha."

"But it's been a month now. One of the two teams we sent out lost contact. Later it was determined that they encountered a strong enemy and all of them died in battle."

"And this is the information brought back by the second team. According to some information left by the first team, Sakumo is likely to have encountered an ambush, including a puppet master!"

Hoshita Shuichi's eyes narrowed: "The puppet master...the Third Hokage, according to the currently known information, in the entire ninja world, the only puppet master who can threaten Sakumo-senpai is Chiyo of Sunagakure Village."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, his eyes focused: "The mission Sakumo performed is indeed in the Kingdom of Wind, and it is also a trace lost in the Kingdom of Wind."

"So, Yan, this time I need you to take a team to the Kingdom of Wind to investigate this matter."

"Besides you, Minato's class will be with us too."

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "Understood!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately said in a deep voice: "Go and prepare, they will be waiting for you at the gate of the village!"

Shuichi Hoshita disappeared immediately.

…

At the exit of Konoha Village, Shuichi Hoshita appeared, taking off his robe and mask.

And he also saw his two teammates.

Aburame Zhiwei should be the next leader of the Aburame clan.

As for the other one, Hoshita Shuichi didn't recognize him, but that ninja dog was too iconic, and he was a member of the Inuzuka clan.

Walking directly in front of the two of them, Hoshikashi said: "Hello, I am Hoshikashi Shuichi!"

Aburame Zhiwei wearing sunglasses said: "Captain, I am Aburame Zhiwei."

Another person said: "Captain, I am Inuzuka Jaw!"

"Woof woof!"

The ninja dog following Inuzuka Jaw greeted Hoshita Shuichi, and Inuzuka Jaw immediately said: "Captain, this is Hoshimaru."

Hoshita Shuichi looked at the ninja dog with black spots in its white hair and said hello: "Hello, Hoshimaru!"

Then he turned to look at Namikaze Minato: "Minato-sensei!"

Namikaze Minato nodded and said, "Let's talk about it on the way!"

Xingxia Xiuyi followed Shanruliu, and the group of seven people set off immediately.

After leaving the village, Hoshita Shuichi glanced at Kakashi who was a little anxious. Instead of comforting him, he asked Namikaze Minato: "Minato-sensei, do you have more detailed information?"

"Let me tell you!"

Aburame Shimi said: "The previous information was brought back by the team I was in before."

Hoshita Shuichi immediately turned to look at Aburame Shiwei.

Aburame Shi said slightly: "Due to the terrain of the Kingdom of Wind, we actually did not find the traces left by Senior Sakumo. What we found was the battlefield where the first team sent by the Third Hokage died, and part of it has been Buried by wind and sand."

"Fortunately, they were poisoned, so their bodies were relatively intact, so we got some information they left before they died, and we learned that Sakumo-senpai had been ambushed, and there was a puppet master among them."

"But there's no other information."

After hearing this, Shuichi Hoshita thought: "So, the information the previous team actually obtained was extremely limited."

"Perhaps the battlefield was covered and destroyed by wind and sand, or maybe someone cleaned the battlefield."

Aburame nodded slightly: "We were also inclined to this inference at the time, and the key point is that the information left by the previous team did not mention whether Sakumo-senpai himself was killed in the battle, or about his body."

Uchiha Obito couldn't help but said: "If there is no body, it means that Sakumo-senpai is still alive!"

"In this case, he should have been captured by the enemy, right?"

Ignoring Obito Uchiha, Hoshikita said: "The wind and sand can cover up many traces, including blood stains, smells, and even corpses."

"If there is no poisoning, there is no need to cover the body with wind and sand. Bugs and birds will digest it quickly."

"But judging from the current situation, Sakumo-senpai was either captured, died in battle, or injured and escaped, but he may have been poisoned or injured too seriously to return to Konoha."

Although three situations are mentioned, anyone who understands knows that there are only two situations.

Either die or be captured!

As for the third type of injury, escaping, or poisoning... In an environment like the Kingdom of Wind, for such a long time, the probability of death is very high.

However, some people present were obviously very emotional. Uchiha Obito shouted again: "Even if he died in battle and his body was eaten by insects and birds, there will be no traces at all."

Namikaze Minato shouted softly: "Obito!"

At this time, Kakashi suddenly said: "Shuichi, you haven't mentioned a situation yet, that is... his body was taken away by the enemy!"

At the end of the sentence, Kakashi's voice trembled.

Hoshita Hide nodded: "Since the enemy is very likely to clean up the battlefield, it is also possible to take away Sakumo-senpai's body."

"You know, ninjas, even corpses are of great intelligence value, especially ninjas like Sakumo-senpai."

Uchiha Obito glanced at Kakashi, and then said: "A powerful ninja like Sakumo-senpai should have to be attacked by the Kazekage of Sunagakure Village, or besieged by a large number of elite ninjas, right?"

After hearing this, Shuichi Hoshita thought seriously: "Maybe it was really the Third Kazekage who took action himself..."

"The strongest puppet master in Sunagakure Village is Chiyo, but with Sakumo-senpai's strength and his fighting style, Chiyo can't stop him."

"Obito is right. Either there are a large number of enemies, or there is another strong person who limits Sakumo-senpai's speed."

After saying that, he looked at Namikaze Minato: "Minato-sensei, if we go to the places where the team checked before, we won't be able to get much useful information."

Namikaze Minato understood instantly and said, "So, you want to sneak into Sunagakure Village to investigate?"

Hoshita Hide nodded: "The possibility of Sunagakure Village taking action is extremely high. After all, Sakumo-senpai has a lot of hatred between Sunagakure Village."

"Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law died at the hands of Sakumo-senpai, who were also two powerful puppet masters at the Jonin level."

"Sneaking into Sunagakure Village should be the fastest way to break through!"

Inuzuka said: "But it is also the most dangerous way!"

"Even if you enter Sunagakure Village, the fastest and most suitable way to verify it must be against Chiyo or the Third Kazekage, right?"

Namikaze Minato said: "You can also confirm it from the side first. First, see if the Third Kazekage took anyone out of the village half a month ago."

"There should be many people who know this information."

Hoshita Shuichi nodded after hearing this, and immediately said: "Then it's decided. The troops will be divided into two groups. Minato-sensei, you follow the previous traces, and I will carry out the task of sneaking into Sunagakure Village."

Namikaze Minato said quickly: "I'll do it!"

Hoshita Shuichi shook his head and said: "Minato-sensei, your transformation skills are not as good as mine, and your illusion skills should not be as good as mine either..."

After hearing this, Minato Namikaze could only nod in agreement.

Sneaking into Sand Hidden Village, the more people there, the better.

But listening to Hoshita Shuichi's words, Uchiha Obito was stunned.

Isn't this guy Shuichi too loud?

The key is that Minato-sensei actually... actually agreed!

…

After the two captains made their decision, it was naturally settled.

That night, he spent the night at the border of the Land of Fire. After crossing the Land of the River and entering the Land of Wind the next day, Shuichi Hoshige and Minato Namikaze agreed on a meeting point, then walked alone and headed straight for Sunagakure Village.

But besides that, there are a flock of crows flying overhead!
