Five days later, at dawn, at the Katabami Gold Mine
When the four members of the Hongshi Sunagakure and saw the village taking shape, they couldn't help but marvel at the craftsmanship of the ninja.
Meanwhile, on a distant cliff, Kairyū and all the members of the Thirteen Nuclear Guardian Pillars sat cross-legged, cultivating the Nuclear Ninja Style Senjutsu.
Meanwhile, Kikin trained Rock Lee and Choji from Konoha in Taijutsu.
Choji's obese body tripled in size. " Multi-Size Technique!"
Kikin nodded and said, "Yes, after growing bigger, you'll shrink again. Control the shape changes of Yang Release! Hold on!"
"Ah!"
Choji roared, clasped his hands together, and his body began to slowly shrink back, only becoming more robust with bulging muscles.
Rock Lee, who was doing squats while lifting a huge rock, saw Choji's posture and his eyes lit up. "Oh! That's Choji- kun! That's what a strong person looks like!"
Kankuro couldn't help but exclaim, "Hmm, I didn't expect you to look so handsome like this."
"Rip!"
After Rock Lee finished a squat, his tight-fitting clothes could no longer hold up, and a large hole tore open on his buttocks.
Just then, Hongshi happened to arrive at this spot.
"Oh, Rock Lee, you're so fair-skinned."
Oh my, I'm so embarrassed!
Suddenly, Rock Lee transformed into a streak of green light and vanished from everyone's sight.
Hongshi chuckled, " Choji- kun, practicing Yang Release?"
Choji was extremely focused at this moment. Kikin said, "That's right. I observed him after his Butterfly Mode. I feel that after gaining a huge power boost by using the Multi-Size Technique, compressing that power back to his normal size and concentrating it on one point will have a very good effect."
Having witnessed Choji Butterfly Mode, Kankuro, "None of Konoha's secret techniques are simple, as expected."
Temari greeted Kankuro, "Who's this bald guy? He doesn't look like a ninja."
Kikin straightened his back, his eyes becoming incredibly resolute, and four large characters slowly floated out behind him.
"Upholding Justice"
"I am a hero driven by interest."
Temari blankly, "Yeah, this one's an idiot too."
Kankuro quickly replied, "He is the third elder of the Nuclear Ninja Village, Taijutsu is unbelievably strong."
Temari laughed heartily, "Haha, no matter how strong your Taijutsu is, can you be stronger than Hongshi?"
Hongshi: " Temari, just for that sentence, I'm going to pass on Danzo's Ninjutsu to you."
Upon hearing this, Kikin walked over to Hongshi and tugged at his red gloves. " Nuclear Ninja Secret Technique - Extremely Serious Fist!"
"Puff!"
Kikin punched Hongshi in the stomach.
Hongshi: "(°ー°) What are you doing? I just finished eating."
Kikin gritted his teeth and said, "Let me show you the results of my training these past few days! Nuclear Ninja Secret Technique - Finishing Move - Continuous Extremely Serious Punches! Muda Muda..."
Seven consecutive pages of wood
"Puff puff puff..."
Kikin's punches were so powerful that no one around could track their trajectory; no force was leaking out, yet the sound of the impact was undeniably clear.
However... it didn't help.
After fighting for a full ten minutes, Hongshi stared expressionlessly at the exhausted Kikin: "You're really something, you almost destroyed me!"
"Huff... huff..."
Kikin, panting heavily and covered in sweat, gritted his teeth and said, "You just wait, wait until I learn the Hundredfold Kaio-ken, then you're finished!"
Hōryūsai was also a master of Taijutsu. He saw through Saitama's seemingly weak attack. "Elder Saitama, your punches just now... you've actually achieved the level of restrained, unadorned power?"
Temari: "I don't understand a word you're saying."
The Lord God: "What kind of martial arts story do you want?"
Hongshi straightened his clothes for a moment, then laughed, "Oh dear, you should have said you'd improved. You have improved somewhat. You should..."
Saitama clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "In that case, see you again sometime!"
Saitama used the Flying Thunder God and disappeared before everyone's eyes, leaving behind Hongshi who hadn't finished speaking.
After a long silence, Kankuro finally asked, " Temari, was the problem in the Land of Bears resolved so quickly?"
Temari coughed twice and nodded, saying, "Yes, it's resolved, thanks to Hōryūsai."
Hōryūsai smiled and said, "It's nothing. I'll go report the situation to Kairyū first."
Kankuro walked to Temari's side, his expression serious. " Temari, I have something to tell you."
After saying that, the two left.
Shino said calmly, "I also have something to discuss with Kendon, so I'll be going now."
"Hey, Shino- kun, when did you get here?"
Upon hearing this, Shino, who had originally intended to say a few more words, turned and left.
Only Hongshi and Choji, who was training, remained.
Hongshi asked, puzzled, "Why did everyone leave as soon as we got back? Are they really that busy?"
"Bang!"
Choji's attempt to shrink his size failed, and he reverted to his Multi-Size Technique state, becoming as tall as Hongshi: "Oops, failed again!"
Hongshi saw the problem. "Hmm, Choji- kun, I know where your problem lies."
"You could tell that?"
Hongshi stepped forward and patted Choji on the shoulder. "Of course! I'm the strongest Genin Konoha, there's nothing I can't do!"
Choji asked, "What happened?"
Hongshi raised his right fist. "Look, the Akimichi Clan's secret technique is a simple Yang Release. It uses Yang Release to infuse life force into oneself to achieve the effect of becoming a giant, and its destructive power is extremely strong."
Suddenly, Hongshi's right fist doubled in size.
Lord God: "(°ー°) So, there's no technique you can't do, is there?"
Choji hearing Hongshi reveal the secret of the Multi-Size Technique, Choji, being gentle, didn't question why and instead agreed, saying, " Hongshi, you can use the Multi-Size Technique too! You're right."
Hongshi continued, "If we follow the thought process of the person who created this technique, the limit of the Multi-Size Technique should be to relentlessly pursue Yang Release, maximizing the size to achieve greater destructive power. But now, you're doing the opposite, concentrating the power on one point. In that case, you need to improve your control over Yang Release."
The exact time when the Multi-Size Technique was created is unknown, but one thing is certain: its purpose was destruction.
"I know about control abilities; Elder Kikin has already mentioned it. I just don't know how to improve them."
Hongshi clenched his right fist, and the enlarged fist began to shrink back to its original size, but the Multi-Size Technique was not canceled. "If you were to specifically cultivate control, it would take much longer. So, have you ever heard of Senjutsu?"
" Senjutsu?" Choji, then suddenly thought of the Nuclear Ninja Style Senjutsu: "Oh! You mean the technique that Kyōai are practicing now?"
Hongshi nodded and said, "That's right. If you learn Senjutsu, your control will increase dramatically, and you can also use Senjutsu Chakra to maintain your shrunken size. Once you successfully release it, you won't need to consciously maintain it anymore."
Choji was still a little confused. "Well, I wonder if Kyōai- kun will teach me, after all, it's a secret technique from the Nuclear Ninja Village..."
Hongshi chuckled, "Aren't you good friends? Why don't you ask him? Maybe he'll teach you."
"All right."
"By the way, do you know about the Five-Tails?"
Huh? I don't know.
"It's nothing, I was just asking."
Han: "Don't cause trouble!"
