Chapter 287 Flashback: Naruto and the Old Soldier!
What exactly is Jashin?
Don't talk about the people of Konoha, the Jashinists may not understand it themselves.
They make killings, enjoy killings, and gain strength in the killing rituals. From the perspective of Akabane's understanding, they are a group of lunatics who have mastered a certain research ability.
of course.
They are incomparable with the Villain Orochimaru in the comics.
In the comics, Orochimaru is also a lunatic defined by Akabane, but he is a lunatic with reason and pursuit.
And for Jashinists...
In short, Jashinists must die.
Akabane is not lazy, leaving two shadow clones to be responsible for the update-one to update Naruto and the other to update One Piece.
Although he really wanted to get the Navy Six Style as soon as possible, the first task at present was to solve the Jashinists problem.
As a coordinator, he needs to maintain a considerable amount of chakras. For this reason, only two shadow clones are left, which means that each volume in his update today has only five chapters.
but it does not matter.
If the Jashinists cult can be resolved quickly, it is the same to come back and continue to update.
Although the Jashinists Cult has a variety of abilities, none of them threaten Akabane. Even if they create a second Hidan, it's still useless for him.
There is no Armament Haki in this world, and using the elementalization of his devil fruit alone can solve all problems.
It is worth mentioning that after Orochimaru learned the news, he quickly volunteered to participate in this hunt for Jashinists.
Since they are living experiments for him
Human experiments are very inhumane, but are the Jashinists still humans?
For this, the Third Hokage allowed it by default.
The group set off from Konoha and quickly went to the border area of the country of fire near the country of water. In addition to the reconnaissance team, many promising guards also participated in this operation.
In total, there are about three to four hundred Chunins and more than fifty Jonin.
but...
Before leaving, Akabane saw an unexpected person.
It's Kosuke.
He still carried the big black pot, with a sword hidden in the black spot, and he didn't look like a Chunin or Jonin in his costume.
Like Akabane, he is also a supporter.
When he was distracted, Kosuke and Akabane walked together, holding a knife in his hand, distracted and carved wood while running.
With his sword skill reaching a certain level, it can indeed be done.
But...
Only him can do it like this.
For the samurai family-like Hatake Kazemi, they would not do this.
When they arrived at the border, Kosuke had already finished engraving a wood carving.
This is a statue of the Second Hokage.
"Let's settle down here. This is the central area which can support any location around."
"Yes, Senior Kosuke."
Akabane has no doubts.
He is definitely much stronger than Kosuke in terms of strength, but he is better when it comes to battlefield experience...
And ten Jonin are not Kosuke's opponents when it comes to experience.
Kosuke sat down, put down the cauldron behind him, and then created a Shadow Clone as they went out looking for food.
While he sat himself, continuing to sculpt the unfinished work.
Akabane at his side also sat down and glanced at it.
The wood carvings of Senju Tobirama are very exquisite, with almost perfect details and facial features.
It can be seen from the woodcarving that he holds a very high position in Kosuke's heart.
Kosuke stopped halfway through, seeing no one around him, he asked: "Akabane, you said in your comics that... Genin and Jonin are both ninjas, and both can contribute to Konoha. But why must we have to have a role like Genin and Jonin? What is the point of having different positions if all can contribute to Konoha?"
"Senior, in my humble opinion, Jonin and Genin are mainly divided into commanding abilities. The rich experience of Jonin can correctly command everyone to fight and avoid unnecessary casualties, while Genin just acts according to other people's plans..."
Akabane said nothing more here.
Kosuke is a well-known Eternal Genin. Although no one would despise him except for the New Generation in this era, but everyone still looks down on him somewhat.
Obviously, it's because although he has the strength of a Jonin, he still wants to be a Genin.
From the point of view of Shinobi, Kosuke wasted his abilities and failed the coaching of the Second Hokage.
"Command ability, like Kakashi?"
Kosuke asked thoughtfully.
Three years later, Kakashi was actually not much stronger than Naruto in strength, but his combat experience was a crushing level compared to Naruto.
Experience, command.
It is these two points that Genin is definitely lacking.
Afterwards, Kosuke told him about what he had done back then.
The content is similar to that in the comics, but the leader made a mistake in the past, which caused the tragic death of two of his teammates, and then vowed to the Second Hokage...
Akabane listened carefully.
After Kosuke finished speaking, he thought for a second or two before he said, "Senior Kosuke, if I must give advice...you understand the consequences of inadvertent command."
"Yes!"
Kosuke knew Akabane's meaning.
"Now that you understand, you must be brave enough to take it.
To endure for a lifetime is just evading responsibility."
This is also what the Third Hokage wants to say.
He sighed and didn't know how to answer, so he continued to carve the wooden sculpture in his hand.
The next second.
"Senior, there are two chakra fluctuations, one is eight miles away to the south, and the other..."
"I'm going to the nearer northeast, you go to the south to help, and after the battle, return here to meet."
Kosuke made a decisive decision.
Each team carries a special kunai, and Akabane must be much faster than him.
Akabane set off quickly.
The next second, with the use of the Flying Thunder God Jutsu Akabane, appeared on the battlefield.
The enemies are five very tall guys, and they seem to have the ability to grow bigger than the cultists have performed before.
"Akabane, be careful..."
The Jonin leading the team reminded him.
However,
In the next second, all five huge cultists were sluggish in place. They suffered various injuries, then collapsed to the ground and fell into a coma.
Genjutsu!
Although it doesn't work on Madara, it is completely a spiked level for these Cultists-even if they have the evil god Chakra in their bodies, they still can't resist the illusion of the Kurama Clan.
"You take care of it."
After Akabane said that, he activated his perception and soon noticed another battle.
Flying Thunder God Jutsu, illusion.
In an instant, the enemy fell to the ground.
Within a few breaths, Akabane solved three or four enemies on the battlefield.
Seeing is believing, hearing is not.
Although everyone knows that Akabane is very powerful now, there is no concept of how powerful he is. Until today, this group of Chunin and Jonin finally know how strong Akabane is.
Simply put, he can kill them in only one thought!
And it's not an exaggeration at all!
What worries the Jonin most is that, if Akabane is this strong, then how powerful Madara is if Akabane can't defeat him!?
No one has the answer, because, except Akabane and Uzumaki Mito, the others who have seen Madara are dead.
A few seconds later, Akabane returned to the meeting point.
Before Kosuke came back, he sat down to recover his Chakra.
With the physique of the Uzumaki clan, it does not take too long to recover the lost Chakra. After recovering his physical condition, Akabane pondered for a while and sat down to paint.
This chapter is called Naruto and the Old Soldier.
It is a flashback story of Naruto. But after hearing the story of Kosuke, Akabane decided to draw it in advance.
And there are many reasons for him doing it...
On the one hand, Kosuke's experience is very touching.
on the other hand...
He hopes this plot can give Kosuke a choice.
And he began to draw.
Since he is on the battlefield, Akabane couldn't concentrate on his drawing, so his speed was relatively slow, but after drawing page by page, due to the speed of the hand, he quickly completed the story.
Kosuke is an anime character. His plots are very fragmented, and most of them are spent in memories, but his ability to survive is really strong-from the Second Hokage period to the fourth Ninja War.
Akabane thought for a long time and continued to draw the next sentence.
To change an anime plot into a comic requires some adaptations, especially this one belonging to Kosuke's plot story.
The plot, memories, and battles.
When Kosuke returned, Akabane had already finished all the plot.
And there are five chapters in total.
The content is not too much, but it incorporates some things Akabane wants to draw, like the Shinobi's duty, and the Will of Fire.
"So fast... Sigh, I didn't expect that when I go to support, you have already completed the other side's support, and you have come back to draw a bunch of comics."
Kosuke smiled.
He was stained with blood, and he obviously experienced a terrible battle.
"It just happens that my ability can restrain them."
Those cultists have strong resilience, but they have no resistance to the illusions of the Kurama Clan, not to mention Akabane's mental power has reached 215 points.
It is too simple to kill them!
"Senior, this book...I hope you will be the first to read it."
Akabane compiled the comic according to the number of pages into a book from beginning to end and then handed it to Kosuke.
Kosuke glanced at the cover.
Naruto and the Old Soldier.
He knows that this book is not in the regular plotline, but it is also related to the plot of the comics. It belongs to a kind of thing called "Flashback".
Kosuke took it and started reading it.
The beginning of the story is on the eve of Konoha's collapse plan, the Third Hokage asked Kosuke to do something, and then the plot came after the collapse plan.
The squad travels and is responsible for monitoring the movements of Stone Ninja.
And in this story, he is here.
From the beginning to the end, Kosuke became more and more silent. After reading it, he returned the stack of manuscripts to Akabane, and then sighed and said, "It's a wonderful story."
"Adapted to your situation, I hope you don't mind."
Akabane put it away.
Kosuke shook his head without saying anything.
Afterwards, the shadow clone came back and brought back a lot of food such as mushrooms and bamboo shoots. He put down the big pot, lit a bonfire and started cooking.
Halfway through the cooking process, Kosuke continued, "Child, you want to say that Jonin has power, but he also has to charge first and sacrifice first, and Genin..."
"Genin is the future of Konoha, they belong to the protected class, at least...the Second Hokage-sama means that."
Akabane said.
Why did Senju Tobirama founded the Shinobi Academy?
The original meaning was to keep children away from war.
After all, in those days, most of his brothers died in the war at an early age, and Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama were not willing to repeat the same mistakes.
In the manga, Kosuke has a strong strength, but there is a Genin like Naruto, so under the command of Jonin, the rest were killed and wounded, but he and Naruto are still safe.
Of course.
The other reason is it's due to. Naruto and Kosuke's strength, but Genin belongs to the lower position in the sacrifice priority.
Kosuke understood this, so he began to wonder whether his approach was correct-is becoming a Genin for a lifetime is the right way for him to atone for his wrong decision?
