Chapter 49 Hozuki Castle, Kusagakure Village (Please read further and vote with monthly tickets)
After returning home from Konoha Hospital, Genichi Kinoshita took a shower before going to his bedroom to lie down.

[Money up for the next decade]

As the icon lit up, and then the overdraft panel exploded into a purple light, Shuxia Xuanyi's mind went blank for a moment, and all the cells in his body began to tremble.

A moment later, Genichi under the tree opened his eyes, looking slightly surprised.

Three years!

This time it was only three years, the shortest ever.

Sitting up, Xuan Yi looked somewhat helpless under the tree.

Mirai died in Konoha in 47 because of the Third Shinobi World War.

Being too outstanding might not be a good thing, as it could lead to dangerous missions.

Furthermore, the transplantation of ice-escape cells also failed; it was useless due to severe rejection, making it impossible to obtain the ice-escape gene.

However, this also made him completely give up. If there's no match, then there's no point in trying; it's a waste of time.

"Fortunately, it wasn't a complete loss."

Xuan Yi sighed under the tree.

In three years, he has made considerable progress in illusion techniques, swordsmanship, and other skills.

There were also significant gains regarding organ transplantation and bone marrow transplantation.

After all, waiting to die after encountering a problem is not in his nature, so he naturally did his best to study and try to solve the problem. Although he ultimately failed to solve it, he still gained a lot.

But that's not the biggest takeaway.

It is the strategy of "military tactics".

The previous strategy focused on improving speed in all aspects.

However, in order to solve his own problems by overdrawing his future, Genichi Koushi in the future not only tried to find solutions through traditional medical techniques, but also tried the power of the Nine Syllable Mantra.

There was some gain as well.

The "Soldier's Manual" not only increases speed, but also has the immense power to prolong life and reverse aging.

It's just that Genichi Kishita hadn't developed it before.

This time, however, there was a gain.

It is more effective than the Palm Cultivation Technique in healing wounds, curing diseases, and detoxifying.

Unfortunately, the development depth is insufficient.

"It was a wasted opportunity!"

"We need to plan carefully for the future. It's best to play it safe and survive, because only by living a long time can we reap enough rewards."

Genichi under the tree began to ponder to himself.

Since this overdraft did not yield the expected results, he had to change his plans.

I definitely won't be able to travel this year.

"Next year, let's borrow our future before going out..."

Genichi Shushita made a decision.

Although borrowing from the future will not leave you with any memories of the future, the retention of various combat experiences can still provide glimpses into some information about the future.

Although the future will not remain unchanged, it can still play a role.

"Fortunately, the negative effects of the Ice Release transplant won't remain, otherwise the rejection of the transplanted Ice Release would still exist."

Genichi under the tree secretly rejoiced.

Two days later, the Shuomao squad, which had rested for half a month, went on another mission.

It was dusk, at the border of the Land of Fire.

After taking a break, Hatake Sakumo briefed the three of them, including Kinoshita Genichi, on the mission: "Our mission objective this time is to cooperate with the ninjas of the Land of Grass to escort the serious criminals to Hozuki Castle."

Ghost Lantern City?
Uchihachi Hajime and Yamanaka En were both puzzled.

Genichi under the tree raised an eyebrow slightly.

Sakumo Hatake said, "Genichi, you know, tell me about Hozuki Castle."

Genichiro nodded: "Hozuki Castle is a prison built by Kusagakure Village at the request of various countries. It is a prison specifically for detaining criminal ninjas and is located on an island in the middle of the sea."

"The lord of Hozuki Castle is usually a Jonin from Kusagakure, and he must master the Fire Release: Heavenly Prison technique."

This information wasn't just from memories of his past life; it was also mentioned briefly in the ninja academy textbooks. Hatake Sakumo nodded: "Genichi is right."

Yamanaka En asked curiously, "The reason why various countries commissioned Kusagakure to build prisons is because of Kusagakure's neutrality?"

Hatake Sakumo nodded: "Because the Land of Grass is located in a basin, it is relatively closed off and has long maintained a neutral position. The Hidden Grass Village has good relations with various countries and major ninja villages, which is why there is Hozuki Castle."

Uchihachi said coldly, "Since he is a serious offender, he should be killed directly."

Genichi Shushita smiled and said, "That's true, but since Hozuki Castle has been established, it means that this is a political compromise."

“Some serious criminals are wanted dead by some people, but not by others, so a compromise is reached: they are imprisoned in Ghost Lantern Castle.”

Yamanaka En said thoughtfully, "So that's why we need to protect it."

"Is this serious criminal someone trying to rescue, or someone trying to kill him?"

This question is critical.

Sakumo Hatake said, "The prisoner is from Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning. Our mission is to prevent him from being rescued."

Cloud Ninja...

Upon hearing this, Genichi Kishita couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that the Cloud Ninja were caught stealing secret techniques from other ninja villages?"

Sakumo Hatake couldn't help but smile upon hearing this.

Genichi under the tree had clearly guessed correctly.

Yamanaka En asked curiously, "Xuan Yi, how did you know?"

Genichi Shushita said, "I've heard that the Hidden Cloud Village is very fond of stealing the secret techniques, and even bloodline limits, of other ninja villages."

"This has always been a tradition of Kumogakure."

"However, since this is the Hidden Cloud Village, we need to be more careful. These guys are very eager to fight."

Sakumo Hatake nodded: "Genichi is right, the people of Kumogakure should not be underestimated."

Uchihachi Hajime and Yamanaka En nodded in unison.

Then Yamazaka En asked with a smile, "Xuan Yi, how come you know more than us?"

Xuan Yi said from under the tree: "Read more books, and... ask more questions."

"The most notorious criminals in Hozuki Castle, I remember Kakuzu, the ninja from Tsugikakushi who assassinated the First Hokage, was also there."

Assassinate the First Hokage!

Yamanaka En and Uchiha Namikaze exclaimed in unison, then looked at Hatake Sakumo.

Hatake Sakumo nodded: "That is indeed true."

"Kakuzu also entered Hozuki Castle, but he escaped and is now an S-rank rogue ninja."

"This is a very formidable character. If you encounter him in the future, you must be extremely careful."

Genichi and the other two nodded again, and Uchiha Rinka then said, "If we encounter him, we must kill him."

Kill Kakuzu?

That's not easy.

This guy has five lives.

It is extremely dangerous to be unaware of intelligence.

Having learned the information, Kakuzu himself is also very strong.

He has mastered all five types of transformations, making him a true Kage-level expert.

Silent all night.

The next day, Genichi and his companions entered the Land of Grass and arrived at Kusagakure Village around noon.

The four were received by a young ninja from the Grass Village named Muwei.

Genichi Kishita remembered this person, who would later become the lord of Hozuki Castle and open the Chest of Elysium in order to revive his son.

Looking at the leader Wuwei leading the way, Genichi Shushita couldn't help but think of Karin's mother, the pitiful woman who was "bitten to death" by the grass ninja.

She must be very young now, probably around the same age as Minato Namikaze.

It would be a waste to put someone like that in Kusagakure!
Genichi under the tree couldn't help but have a thought.
