He returned home as quickly as possible, took out a blank scroll, and wrote down the incomplete ritual he had seen before.
Then he pondered it over.
Hmm... I can understand a little bit, that is, the part related to Fire Release.
"Natural energy is a completely unfamiliar field to me, so I have to take it slow."
Hoshita Shuichi was not discouraged.
If it doesn't work now, then I'll take down the [Master of Seals], and even the "flash of inspiration" that comes once a year, I'll be able to study it thoroughly sooner or later.
After putting away the scroll and thinking for a while, Hoshita Shuichi got up and went to Orochimaru's experimental base.
Time flies and the holiday is over.
Hoshita Shuichi returns to the team and continues his fast-paced mission career in the Anbu.
However, although the pace in the Anbu is fast, there is actually plenty of rest time, allowing Hoshita Shuichi to sometimes practice on his own or go to Orochimaru's experimental base.
After defeating the [Sword Master], Hoshita Shuichi's focus began to shift.
The priority of this Talent [Instant Body Expert] has been raised to the highest level.
Talent: [Instant Body Expert]
Acquisition conditions: Master at least five different types of teleportation techniques.
Effect: The talent of instant body movement technique is increased by 100%,
cell activation is increased by 100%, and any instant body movement technique can be performed without seal.
The battle with the AB combination made Hoshita Shuichi realize that having quick reaction ability alone is not enough, a fast enough attack speed is also required.
Or it can be said to be the reaction speed of motor modules such as muscles.
This is either a natural talent, or like Kai, years of hard training to form muscle memory to achieve quick reactions.
The other is the Cloud Ninja's Lightning Release Activated Cells.
Kakashi's Chidori Style can also activate cells, but it is far inferior to the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
If it weren't for the fact that he was still missing one more space-time ninjutsu, Hoshita Shuichi would have devoted all his energy to conquering the term "User of Space-Time".
However, if he cannot find a suitable space-time ninjutsu at that time, he will rely on his talents to master the Flying Thunder God jutsu.
The 50% talent improvement of [Konoha Genius], the 100% ninjutsu talent improvement of [Ninjutsu Master], the 100% instant body movement talent improvement of [Instant Body Expert], plus 10 minutes of "Flash of Inspiration".
After doing enough preliminary work, Hoshita Shuichi doesn't believe that he can't defeat Flying Thunder God.
And as long as he doesn't seek death, he can take down Flying Thunder God. In the vast ninja world, he can go anywhere he wants!
Time flies and it is November of the 42nd year of Konoha.
The big eater contest that the Akimichi clan had been preparing for for more than three months has become completely hot after a few days of warm-up, and everyone in the entire Konoha Village knows about it.
When Hoshita Shuichi was on holiday and walking on the street with Shizune, they could hear people talking about it.
Even outside of Konoha Village, many "good-for-nothings" from the Land of Fire heard the news and came to participate in the competition.
After strolling all the way to the Akimichi clan's newly opened udon shop, Hoshita Shuichi and Shizune saw that there were already crowds of people in front of the shop.
"Amazing, so many people signed up!"
Even though she already knew that the eating contest was all the rage, Shizune couldn't help but exclaim when she saw so many people.
Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said, "It looks like this will be a very successful event."
Shizune nodded and smiled, "If we hold it every year, maybe it can gradually become a festival!"
Hoshita Shuichi stroked his chin and thought for a while, then smiled and said, "I think we can hold a big eating contest together with Konoha's allied ninja village."
"Well, we can first set up sub-venues in each ninja village, and the top ten from each ninja village will all gather in Konoha to compete and win the first place."
Akimichi Shigeiwa was stunned: "Is this... is this too exaggerated?"
Hoshita Shuichi himself couldn't help laughing: "Haha, it's a bit exaggerated."
"Of course, if it's profitable, I think some people will still participate."
Shizune wondered, "But if it's held, it should be profitable, right?"
As she spoke, she saw a familiar figure and couldn't help but said, "Shuichi, it looks like Master Jiraiya!"
Jiraiya?
Hoshita Shuichi looked in the direction Shizune pointed, and indeed saw the familiar white hair. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "He's back... but why is he here instead of going to the hot spring town to collect some folk customs?"
"You're not going to participate, are you?"
Hoshita Shuichi felt like he was about to have another strong opponent.
At this time, Jiraiya squeezed out of the crowd, and then saw Hoshita Shuichi and the other person, and immediately walked up to them and said with a smile: "Are you guys coming to sign up too?"
"Jiraiya-sama!"
Hoshita Shuichi and Shizune greeted each other politely, and then Hoshita Shuichi replied: "Yes, we came here to sign up together. I didn't expect that Master Jiraiya would be here too."
Shizune quickly said: "This competition was also proposed by Shuichi!"
"oh?"
Jiraiya looked at Hoshita Shuichi, gave him a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "It is indeed a very good idea, but I won't let you win during the competition."
Hoshita Shuichi immediately refused to give in: "Master Jiraiya, I will not give in just because you are one of the three great ninjas."
Jiraiya laughed: "It seems you are very confident!"
"Um..."
Pinching his chin, Jiraiya smiled and said, "Shuichi, if you can beat me, I will teach you an interesting ninjutsu, how about that?"
Interesting ninjutsu?
Hoshita Shuichi blinked.
Does Jiraiya have any interesting ninjutsu?It seems that he doesn't have any? However, if there is a ninjutsu to be won, of course, Hoshita Shuichi will not refuse. He nodded and agreed and smiled, "Master Jiraiya, if you win, I will also give you a very interesting ninjutsu."
After thinking for a while, Hoshita Shuichi emphasized: "Well... Lord Jiraiya, you will definitely like it very much."
Seeing Hoshita Shuichi's mysterious look, Jiraiya felt a little itchy, but he still held back, smiled and waved goodbye: "Then I'm looking forward to your ninjutsu, Shuichi!"
Watching Jiraiya leave, Shizune couldn't help but ask curiously: "Shuichi, if you lose, what interesting ninjutsu will you give to Jiraiya-sama?"
"I remember that the ninjutsu you developed are all very practical, right?"
Hoshita Shuichi coughed twice: "It's just an idea at the moment, it hasn't been developed yet!"
Shizune nodded, but didn't ask any further questions.
Hoshita Shuichi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and made a secret decision.
If he really lost, Jiraiya had to keep it a secret.
Soon, it was Hoshita Shuichi and Shizune's turn to sign up.
After writing his name, Hoshita Shuichi looked at the side and was stunned for a moment: "Hey, is Lady Tsunade going to participate too?"
After writing Tsunade's name, Shizune nodded and smiled, "Tsunade-sama also finds it very interesting."
Oh my goodness, another powerful enemy! Tsunade was so hungry that she even wanted to eat her pet.
After registering, Hoshita Shuichi and Shizune went to Konoha Hospital.
The competitive eating contest will officially begin in three days, but this contest will not last for one or two days, but until the last day of this year, so there is still plenty of time.
After staying in Konoha Hospital for two hours, Hoshita Shuichi returned home to feed the crows.
The original young birds have grown up, and just like he did with the white tiger, Hoshita Shuichi will feed them some secret medicine and inject chakra into their bodies.
However, Shuichi made another psychic scroll for these crows to use for psychic summoning.
In addition, Hoshita Shuichi also tried to develop the Crow Clone Technique based on this.
"The crows have become accustomed to the chakra stored in their bodies, and their spirituality and tacit understanding have also been well developed."
Looking at the dozen or so crows circling in the air, Hoshita Shuichi felt that it was about time.
Although these crows did not have much fighting power and could not speak, they could easily discern his commands through chakra and developed a very close and tacit relationship with them.
This is not only because of the continuous feeding of the secret medicine, but also because the crow has his chakra in his body.
From training the white tiger to these crows, Hoshita Shuichi also felt how difficult it was to train a qualified summoning beast.
It's not just a waste of money, but also time, energy, and uncertainty.
So!
His eyes focused, and with a thought, Hoshita Shuichi mobilized the chakra stored in the crow's body.
The crows circling in the air also received his order and immediately gathered together to form a figure.
Looking at another self floating in the air, Hoshita Shuichi smiled.
Crow clone technique, completed!
Pah pah pahThe clones in the air dispersed, transformed into crows flapping their wings again, and then reunited into clones on the other side.
Then Hoshita Shuichi tried to use his clone to perform various ninjutsu such as fire jutsu, wind jutsu, and illusion in the air.
When the energy is almost consumed, the clone technique will be lifted.
"The strength of the crow clone depends on the amount of chakra stored in the crow's body. If we don't consider the combat effectiveness, the chakra consumed in its use is far less than that of the shadow clone or even the fire clone."
"However, the crow can't store too much chakra in its body. But since it is a clone, it plays a supporting role, so this is not a disadvantage."
Hoshita Shuichi silently evaluated: "And another greater advantage is air superiority!"
Although he has the Lotus steps technique, this technique actually consumes quite a bit of energy.
If you use a clone, it's worse than a crow clone.
"In addition, the crow, or the crow's clone, can also conduct ultra-long-distance reconnaissance."
"Although the listening technique is powerful, it consumes a lot of energy and is also limited to the perception of chakra."
Looking at the crows that landed on the wooden frame, Hoshita Shuichi thought to himself: "Another flaw is that these crows are not real summoning beasts. Not to mention wisdom and speech, they can't even refine chakra, so the chakra I deposit in their bodies will gradually disappear over time."
"Although it is entirely possible to temporarily give them chakra when it is fully available, it would be more convenient if chakra could be stored for a long period of time."
"Well, you can try the sealing technique to slow down the loss of chakra."
"It doesn't have to be too advanced."
After figuring out the next direction of development, Hoshita Shuichi thought about it, and the crows on the wooden frame immediately flapped their wings and flew up, then flew towards the Uchiha clan in a group.
He wanted to give Uchiha Shisui a little surprise.
This kind of clone technique is more suitable for Shisui who is proficient in illusion, especially Uchiha who has the Sharingan.
