On the first day of the new year, Hoshita Shuichi, who had just opened his eyes, received a big gift.
Focus your attention on the talent tree. The leaves of the [Big Eater] talent can already be lit up and activated.
Obviously, no one surpassed him after him.
"Light it up!"
As soon as Hoshita Shuichi thought about it, the leaves were immediately covered by blue light, and the effect took effect.
Physical fitness increased by 100%, recovery ability increased by 100%, and digestion ability increased by 100%.
My body felt numb and my internal organs felt hot.
So cool!
Hoshita Shuichi almost cried out.
This is the first time that I have experienced a purely physical improvement.
Whether it is recovery ability or digestion ability, it is actually a part of the physical constitution.
When the ascension was over, Hoshita Shuichi immediately felt that the chakra flowing into the Yin Seal had greatly increased.
"According to previous estimates, my current chakra level...the Dean should be about 1.5 times as much as mine, but in fact, it's almost the same."
He is less than 10 years old, but his chakra level is comparable to that of Yakushi Nonou when he is in his twenties at his peak, which is definitely not low.
And if compared with Kakashi who is the same age"According to previous estimates, it will be 12 cards, but in reality it should be more, depending on Kakashi's recent improvement."
Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said, "Besides, I can continue to explore my potential and continue to improve through training."
This is a great New Year's gift!
Get up and wash up!
Then pull Asuka out of the fragrant bed and push her into the bathroom.
Ten minutes later, the two went out for training together, and as expected, they met Might Gai as usual.
Thus, the passionate young people started the competition mode.
Looking at the two people who were tireless and full of enthusiasm, Asuka wiped the sweat from her forehead and couldn't help but smile brightly.
Days like this are so nice!
At eight o'clock in the morning, Hoshita Shuichi and Asuka returned home.
When I got home, Yakushi Nono had already prepared a sumptuous breakfast.
Hoshita Shuichi finished it quickly, but still felt like he wanted more.
Yakushi Nono looked at him and smiled, "It seems that Shuichi's appetite has grown a lot!"
Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said, "I am one year older now!"
Asuka nodded, and then said, "Shuichi seems to have grown a little taller, he should be 140cm tall. In two years, he may catch up with you, Nono!"
Yakushi Nono is not tall, only 155cm, unlike Asuka, who is 164cm tall.
"Of course boys have to be taller."
Yakushi Nono smiled softly and said, "Then I'll have to do more of it in the future."
After a pleasant breakfast, Hoshita Shuichi and the other two packed up the gifts they had bought long ago, sealed them into a sealing scroll, and then brought them to the orphanage.
And this stay lasted for three days.
These three days should be the most relaxing days for Hoshita Shuichi since he came to this world. Apart from the most basic training, he did not conduct any other practice.
Three days later, Hoshita Shuichi started visiting people everywhere to "pay New Year's greetings".
In fact, Konoha Village does not have this custom, but Hoshita Shuichi does.
On January 6, the 43rd year of Konoha, Hoshita Shuichi officially started working.
The first mission is to escort the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, as well as Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utane to the Daimyo's mansion.
It was not just the Sarutobi squad that carried out the mission, but the entire team led by Sarutobi Shinnosuke.
In addition to them, there are three other four-person teams participating.
Despite this, when Hoshita Shuichi left the village, he still created 6 shadow clones to practice.
After the team left the village, Hoshita Shuichi, Shinnosuke Sarutobi and Chihiro followed Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other three teams, while the other three teams were distributed in the dense forests on both sides of the road.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and his men are not as fast as Hoshita Shuichi and his men when they are carrying out their missions.
Although it was walking, the speed was comparable to riding in a sedan chair.
On the first night, everyone settled down on Duance Street.
We continued our journey at 9 am the next day.
"Captain! There's an ambush ahead!"
Under the mask, Hoshita Shuichi frowned slightly.
This was too bold. An ambush for the Hokage?Did they really think the Hokage was an old man who couldn't move?
With two whistles, the ANBU members on both sides immediately charged forward at high speed.
Soon, Hoshita Shuichi and others heard the sound of an explosion and billowing smoke and dust.
The battle was fierce.
"Here it comes!"
Hoshita Shuichi shouted softly.
Someone actually broke through the blockade of the Anbu, it seems he is quite capable.
Swish, swish, swish!
Hoshita Shuichi and his three companions appeared in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen and his three companions, and then five enemies appeared. Two came from the side, and three were in the middle of the road. The seal had been completed, and when they opened their mouths, a terrible storm rumbled towards Hoshita Shuichi and his companions.
Hoshita Shuichi took a step forward, clasped his hands together, opened his mouth under the mask and blew, and an even more terrifying explosion and rumbling sound was heard.
The terrifying fire storm rolled in and collided with the storm sweeping in from the opposite side, causing an even more intense explosion.
Then the storm collapsed and was torn apart by Hoshita Shuichi's firestorm, drowning the three enemies.
A shrill scream was heard, but it disappeared in an instant.
Seeing this scene, Mitokado said in surprise: "Hiruzen, he is the child named Hoshita Shuichi, right?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's that child."
Koharu Utane praised: "This is an amazing combination of Fire Release and Wind Release. It's really not easy for someone of this age."
At this time, Chihiro completed the technique.
Darkness Walking Technique!
The two enemies attacking from both sides were instantly deprived of their sight, and the figures of Hoshita Shuichi and Sarutobi Shinnosuke disappeared, and then screamed and fell again.
Hoshita Shuichi killed his opponent, while Shinnosuke Sarutobi captured his opponent.
Chihiro used illusion to conduct the interrogation and soon got the result.
"Hokage-sama, they are the remnants of the air-ninja!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke reports.
After hearing this, Homura Mitokado snorted: "We should focus our efforts on destroying these guys."
Koharu Utane said: "They are hiding very deep. It is not easy to wipe them out in one go."
Hoshita Shuichi agreed with what he heard.
Last time, we captured the leader of a stronghold of the remnants of the Sky Ninja, but unfortunately we did not get any information about the strongholds of other remnants of the Sky Ninja from his brain.
These guys are very careful, and no one in each stronghold knows the specific location of other strongholds.
Unless we capture the most important one, who is also the current leader of the Sky Ninjas, we can wipe them out.
But that guy was hiding very deeply. Hoshita Shuichi knew that the Anbu had been tracking him for a long time last year but to no avail.
Although he knew that the leader of the air ninja should be the guy named Shennong.
But I don't know where to find him.
In addition, Hoshita Shuichi also suggested to Sarutobi Shinnosuke to go and check out the Sakura Ninja ruins.
Unfortunately, the Anbu found nothing.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen was very calm about the attack from the remnants of the Sky Ninja. He just nodded slightly to Sarutobi Shinnosuke and said, "Got it. Go on!"
Then he set off.
The team quickly returned to its original formation.
No one in Konoha was harmed, and all the remaining sora-nin were wiped out.
And this is just a small episode.
The journey was uneventful and the team arrived at the Daimyo's mansion in the Land of Fire on the third day.
This time, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other two came to the Daimyo Mansion to attend the annual routine meeting.
In name, the Konoha Village is indeed respected by the daimyo.
The daimyo allocated funds and Konoha fought.
Now is the time to determine how much money the Fire Nation will allocate to Konoha Village in the coming year.
However, Hoshita Shuichi, who was watching the meeting from the side, found that this was really just a routine meeting.
How much money to get seems to have been decided long ago.
But it makes sense when you think about it.
Small meetings decide big matters, and big meetings decide small matters.
However, just when Hoshita Shuichi thought the meeting was almost over, the daimyo suddenly made a request.
Sarutobi Asuma!
Hoshita Shuichi's heart skipped a beat.
No way?
Was Sarutobi Asuma, who was in his rebellious period, really persuaded by the daimyo to rebel?
Hoshita Shuichi secretly looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, but he could only see a little bit of the side.
"Of course there is no problem with what the Daimyo said, but I think this matter still needs Asuma's consent first."
This was Sarutobi Hiruzen's answer.
Daimyo smiled and said, "This is as it should be."
This smile and this tone clearly show his confidence.
Although he failed to win over Kakashi Hatake, the son of Konoha White Fang, who had a greater reputation as a genius.
But Sarutobi Asuma was even more surprised.
It's all thanks to that kid, Hoshita Shuichi!Ten million a year, it's totally worth it!
Well, we have to pay more this year!
After the meeting, Hoshita Shuichi felt that the daimyo should be given more money this year.
An Sarutobi Asuma is truly a priceless treasure for a daimyo.
After returning to the resting place and taking off his mask, Hoshita Shuichi asked hurriedly: "Captain, Asuma..."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke smiled bitterly and shook his head: "That kid is too worrying."
Hoshita Shuichi was a little embarrassed, but Asuma had a different idea in his mind.
He had discussed the relationship between Konoha Village and the Land of Fire, and the Hokage and the Daimyo with Kakashi and Sarutobi Asuma before... Apparently, his words were not enough, and Sarutobi Asuma had his own thoughts.
That's great!
Thank you for letting me make more money!
Seeing the embarrassment of Hoshita Shuichi, Sarutobi Shinnosuke quickly comforted him: "Shuichi, this has nothing to do with you."
"Besides, maybe it would be a good thing to let Asuma come out and see for himself."
Hoshita Shuichi compared his original impression of Asuma with Asuma's current personality and couldn't help but nodded.
The next day, Hoshita Shuichi and others set out to return to Konoha.
When he got home, Hoshita Shuichi received an extra 20 million taels.
Before he even opened his mouth, the daimyo had already raised the price automatically.
Hokage's office.
Hoshita Shuichi truthfully reported the fact that the daimyo had raised the price.
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded: "Just proceed as usual."
"Go ahead, you don't have to think too much about this, Shuichi."
Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "Understood!"
After Hoshita Shuichi left, Sarutobi Hiruzen was wondering whether he should send one more person to the daimyo.
But he quickly rejected the idea.
Konoha is very short of manpower right now, and the daimyo's target is genius.
Besides, sending an ordinary teenager might not be helpful.
With a sigh, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep puff of his cigarette and decided to let nature take its course.
After leaving the Hokage Building, Hoshita Shuichi went to Orochimaru's experimental base.
During the next two days of vacation, apart from basic training, he spent the day at the experimental base.
At night, I continued to familiarize myself with the Fire Release Chakra mode in the yard at home.
Although it has been mastered, it is still some distance away from actual combat.
You know, he did it with full concentration and a "flash of inspiration".
And now, he just needs to complete it step by step under normal circumstances.
And you have to be skilled enough to turn on this mode instantly.
This is the high standard that Hoshita Shuichi sets for himself!
