Chapter 80 Maruboshi Kosuke: Second generation master, I am guilty!
Chapter 80 Maruboshi Kosuke: Lord Second Generation, I am guilty!
"Aren't we discussing this with each other?"
Jingyan immediately helped him up.
Maruboshi Kosuke shook his head, and then sighed: "Your idea is very unique. Old guys like me have poor brains and have lost the ability to innovate. Alas!"
"You don't have to say that..."
This trend confused Jingyan.
He just made a guess, but he didn't expect it to come true.
Although the results are somewhat different.
According to Maruboshi Kosuke, the water dragon bullet he improved is not a hard vortex water blade, but the effect is similar, but the power is much weaker.
If you must say, it's more like an improved version of the Water Dragon Bullet Technique.
Rao is so.
This kind of ninjutsu is also very difficult for Jingyan.
At least, at present, Jingyan is unable to integrate the two changes of "compression" and "rotation" very well and combine them perfectly with the Water Dragon Bullet Technique.
After Maruboshi Kosuke finished explaining, he sighed, "I'm not sure which ninjutsu the Second-Day's Hard Whirlpool Water Blade was modified from, but it's stronger and more powerful than this jutsu, and it doesn't require hand seals."
"The Second Generation Master is truly a genius!"
Kyohiko sighed.
Unrivaled Water Escape.
Few people in the entire ninja world can compare with Tobirama Senju's research on water jutsu.
If you want to achieve certain results in water escape, you can't avoid his research and notes.
However, the Hard Vortex Water Blade was the technique of the time.
If you want to create a unique water jutsu now, the best choice is not the hard vortex water blade, but the Rasengan that incorporates the changes in the properties of water jutsu.
While Jingyan was thinking about the way forward, Maruboshi Kosuke was in a dilemma.
He came here mainly on behalf of the Third Hokage, Jiraiya, to teach Kyōhiko the Water Dragon Bullet Technique and its techniques. Unexpectedly, Kyōhiko has already mastered it on his own and reached a very high level.
Not only that, the other party's understanding of water dragon bombs is different from that of ordinary people, and he has already walked ahead of him.
It seems that he can't teach anything about water escape.
Maruboshi Kosuke sighed and then looked at Jingyan.
"You teach me a technique, and I will teach you one too. I heard that you know sword techniques?"
"Yes, I have trained with Kakashi."
Jingyan nodded.
"You slashed at me!"
Maruboshi Kosuke smiled kindly.
Jing Yan was stunned for a moment and said, "Really?"
"Yes, feel free to draw your sword boldly. Let me see your full sword skills. I will be fine."
Maruboshi Kosuke is full of confidence.
Learn from Kakashi?
It’s not that he looks down on Kakashi, but Kakashi’s swordsmanship and strength are indeed not as good as his.
"Although I am just a Genin, I once went on missions with Sakumo and learned swordsmanship from him. Don't underestimate me."
"Yes, please be careful."
Jingyan nodded.
Then, he drew his sword and moved forward. In an instant, his figure had passed a distance of more than ten steps and appeared beside Maruboshi Kosuke. Then...
choke!
Maruboshi Kosuke arrived first after starting later, unsheathing his sword to block the blade.
but.
The next second, Jing Yan formed a seal with one hand, and two figures separated from his side, one on the left and one on the right, with blades like crescent moons attacking in both directions.
what?
Maruboshi Kosuke was startled, shrank back and swung his sword to block it.
Dang Dang!
The sounds of two swords colliding were heard one after another. Jingyan drew his sword from its sheath, azure blue appeared on the blade, and lightning spread across the other sword.
Can't answer!
Maruboshi Kosuke did not dare to be careless and immediately retreated, swinging the blade with his arm.
Before Jingyan could react, he saw a field of willow branches dancing.
Oops!
He immediately closed his eyes, removed the illusion, and retreated instantly.
but.
Maruboshi Kosuke did not chase after him.
His back was also covered in sweat.
Good guy!
This kid is playing dirty tricks!
It was said that Kakashi taught him, but he used a single-handed seal and a move similar to the Crescent Moon Dance. Later, he even used a sword-drawing technique and a dual-sword style, using two types of chakra...
If it weren't for Konoha Ryu Liu, this would have been a sure failure!
He coughed lightly to hide his inner embarrassment and said, "Your swordsmanship is pretty good. Did Kakashi really teach you?"
"I have also read some of the books in the Second Generation Master's collection."
Jingyan answered.
Maruboshi Kosuke was silent.
Reading...
Most of the books in Jingyan's hands are basic, without complete techniques. Just relying on reading books to improve knowledge, combined with the sword techniques and experiences learned, he can master the current level.
This guy is a monster!
He took a deep breath and said, "Are you interested in the swordplay just now?"
"Action-triggered illusions are indeed very interesting."
In his previous life, Jingyan had seen this move in anime.
At the time, I was thinking that any illusion requires some kind of triggering medium, so wouldn’t it be enough if I just didn’t look at it?
In fact, many actions in the battle were unexpected, and this move was already an illusion the moment he saw Maruboshi Kosuke's arm waving, and the subsequent actions only deepened the impact of the illusion.
Even if you can break the illusion, it is still difficult to avoid a sudden attack.
Unless you can unlock it and react fast enough!
The core of Senju Tobirama's swordsmanship concept is to create opportunities and kill with speed, such as Flying Thunder God Slash, Crescent Moon Dance, and Yanagi.
"As you guessed, the essence of this technique is an action-triggered illusion..."
Maruboshi Kosuke explained the core and tricks of the technique.
Jingyan listened carefully.
After listening to the explanation, he roughly understood how to perform action-type illusions.
difficult!
However, after practicing for a period of time, you should be able to master it.
Jingyan began to figure it out.
Maruboshi Kosuke breathed a sigh of relief.
Do not care!
……
In the evening, at the Hokage Building.
"How's the kid?"
"Too strong, I almost couldn't hold it in!"
Maruboshi Kosuke felt extremely ashamed.
Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed out loud. In fact, he saw part of the situation using the telescope technique, but he didn't see what happened before that. It definitely scared Kosuke.
of course.
If Gu Jie used all his strength and combined his various abilities, he would definitely be able to defeat Jingyan.
The three generations had no doubt about this.
Gu Jie sighed, "In a few years, I may not be his opponent. Such a junior is really shameful! No wonder Jiraiya didn't teach him water escape technique and entrusted you to let me do it."
"Water escape?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment, "What water jutsu? That kid has only learned two types of water jutsu before, the Water Array Wall and the Water Wave, right?"
"Well, I have been learning water dragon bullets by myself recently. My level is already very high. I also got some benefits from him..."
Maruboshi Kosuke recounted what he had learned.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's pipe trembled.
Water Dragon Bullet is at least a B-level ninjutsu, and the simplified version of hand seals is extremely difficult. How come it is so easy in Jingyan's hands?
He was confused for a while.
Then, he looked at Maruboshi Kosuke.
"so……"
"I will teach him Konoha-ryu Ryu. Once he has mastered it, I should have nothing left to teach him."
Maruboshi Kosuke said, sighing, "Jiraiya must be under a lot of pressure, right?"
"This, may be."
Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about it.
When he taught Orochimaru, it seemed like he was in a similar state.
If Orochimaru is used as a model...
"Gujie."
"Ok?"
"I think you can go see Jingyan again tomorrow. I have a feeling that he will have learned Konoha Liuliu by tomorrow, or even tonight."
"Ah?! Absolutely impossible. I studied this technique for a long time before I mastered it!"
Maruboshi Kosuke was dumbfounded.
Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled: "It is very likely."
"H-Then is Jiraiya free?"
"Not yet."
Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed.
“It’s a tough job!”
Maruboshi Kosuke sighed and had to say goodbye to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Sarutobi Hiruzen took out a scroll from the drawer.
Peculiar physique.
Kurokawa.
"Oh! I hope the same mistake won't happen again!"
This kind of research should have been done by Orochimaru, but due to Orochimaru's actions, he really cannot hand Kurokawa over to him at the moment.
I can only let Jiraiya go.
……
The next day, at the same river bank.
Jingyan continued to practice the Water Dragon Bullet Technique.
Konoha-ryu Liu has already mastered the basics, but like Naruto, he took a shortcut -
He failed to do the action trigger.
and so.
Jing Yan combined the knowledge of Water Array Wall and Water Dragon Bullet's economical seals, Maruboshi Kosuke's explanation, Senju Tobirama's illusion notes, and many other tricks...
at last.
Last night, he reversed the hand seal of the Konoha Style·Ryu and modified it into a one-handed hand seal.
In the short term, he couldn't think of how to improve.
and so.
It is better to practice the water dragon bullet technique first.
This technique...
He felt that he was about to be promoted.
While I was practicing hard, several figures ran by and greeted me one by one.
It was Might Guy and the others.
but.
Jing Yan turned around and saw a strange yet familiar figure——
In the crowd, there was a person running wildly with his head down.
Isn't that Asma?
Seeing how he got along with Genma Shiranui and Ebisu, Jingyan understood the situation. Just as he was about to say hello, the other party had already lowered their heads and ran away.
Uh, forget it.
Back in the village, everyone is working hard to exercise and practice, cherishing every second to improve themselves.
This is true for Kyohiko, and even more so for Gai and Kakashi.
Practicing.
"Kyohiko!"
Uzumaki Kushina waved from a distance.
Beside him, Namikaze Minato was talking to Uzumaki Yuki with an awkward smile on his face, but the other party obviously didn't care and kept looking at Kyohiko.
Her eyes were bright and a new glow finally appeared on her face.
Ok?
Minato Namikaze followed the route and looked around.
Good guy!
His eyes rolled and an idea came to his mind.
"Kushina-senpai, Minato-senpai..."
"Hey, don't call me senior. It makes me sound old. We are just a few years older than you. You and Minato are both jonin, and both are students of your teacher. Just call me by my name from now on." Kushina said with a smile.
Without waiting for Kyouhiko's reply, Namikaze Minato said, "Kyouhiko, we have a favor to ask of you."
"what's up?"
Jingyan looked over in confusion.
"Can you take Yuki around Konoha? Kushina and I have something urgent to do and need to go see the Hokage-sama."
Namikaze Minato explained.
Kyohiko was stunned for a moment, then looked at Kushina.
Kushina was confused at this moment and was about to speak when she was pulled away by Minato.
She was dumbfounded, and then nodded: "Oh, yes!"
"This is not a big problem, but I may have to wait for a senior..."
Maruboshi Kosuke came yesterday for unknown reasons. Jingyan guessed that he might have been asked by Jiraiya to teach him water escape techniques.
Unfortunately, I had already learned it and ended up teaching it to Konoha-ryu Liu.
They might come for inspection today.
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."
Yuki said.
Minato nodded heavily, "Yes, there's no rush, you can chat as you please, and then Kushina and I will go find the Hokage first, and we'll come find you later if we have time."
"Hmm."
Kushina also understood, nodded repeatedly, and ran away.
Jingyan was helpless.
Now it was his turn to laugh awkwardly.
"How's it going in Konoha? Is everything okay?"
"Well……"
Uzumaki Yuki thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. I rarely go out."
Then, she talked about her experience after arriving in Konoha.
It was simple, just eat, drink, sleep, and then have the cold shoulder with Kushina.
Jingyan listened from the side.
It's amazing.
The other party was unwilling to communicate with Kushina, a fellow tribesman, but was willing to communicate with a stranger like me...
Just because of previous contact?
But it's a good thing.
"You are currently in a state where you don't know how and with what identity to live in Konoha. You don't hate this place, but you are afraid that others may have some ulterior motives, so you think it's better to be at ease in Kusagakure. At least in Kusagakure you know what they want."
Jingyan followed up with the analysis.
The girl didn't speak for a long time. She tilted her head, looked at Jingyan, and nodded.
"I just thought about it, maybe you are right."
"Want my opinion?"
"Ah."
Uzumaki Yuki nodded.
Jingyan changed to sitting cross-legged and said seriously: "You don't have to think about these things. If you want to be a ninja, go to school. If you don't want to be a ninja, just be an ordinary civilian and live in Konoha first."
"Be a civilian first. War is... too tiring."
Uzumaki Yuki said.
"If you don't like Kushina, then why not move out and be self-reliant."
Jing Yan said.
Uzumaki Yuki thought about it and said, "Then I have to make some money first."
"Ah."
Jingyan nodded.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard a slight noise and immediately looked towards the woods on the right: "Senior, is that you?"
"Ahem, I didn't want to disturb you."
Maruboshi Kosuke looked embarrassed.
"nothing."
Jingyan smiled.
Uzumaki Yuki stood up and dusted herself off, "Thank you for your advice. I want to go around the village and see if there's any work to do!"
"I'll let my shadow clone accompany you."
Jingyan creates a shadow clone.
He didn't know about the game between Tsunade and the Third Hokage, but Danzo had definitely suffered a loss. Danzo could be found anywhere in the village now, so it would be dangerous to leave her alone.
After seeing him off, Kyohiko looked towards Maruboshi Kosuke.
"Senior, I haven't learned your technique yet. I have only learned how to make seals with one hand."
Then he demonstrated it.
One-hand seal -
Draw the knife!
Draw the sword and cut.
As he made the swings, illusions appeared and countless knives appeared before his eyes.
Maruboshi Kosuke was stunned for a moment.
Konoha Style·Ryanoo?
Then he understood.
Jingyan couldn't release the technique without seals, so he came up with a method of combining seals with one hand and performing other actions, which was a clever trick.
No wonder he said he “didn’t learn it”.
but.
The person I was at that time took several years to hone myself step by step!
Even the Second Hokage is praising himself!
but……
There are still some shortcomings when it comes to nitpicking.
"Except for the need to form seals, it is indeed the same as Liu, but it lacks the suddenness, and its effects and functions are very different."
"Yes, so I think it should be integrated into other techniques."
Jingyan said this and formed a seal with one hand again.
Immediately, the clone technique was created.
The next moment, he formed seals and swung his sword.
Several knife shadows suddenly appeared in front of Maruboshi Kosuke's eyes and attacked him at the same time.
He unravelled the illusion.
There was only one figure left in front of me, and two afterimages.
"Combined with the clone technique..."
Maruboshi Kosuke understood Kyohiko's idea.
With the help of illusion, Willow is combined with the Crescent Moon Dance.
It is still Konoha-ryu·Ryu in essence, but its function and effect are completely different.
He was silent again.
The third generation was right, but not completely right.
In just one day, Jingyan not only learned the Konoha Style: Willow, but also innovated and came up with a new way to play.
young people……
What a useful brain!
Yesterday, he wanted to teach some details and tricks, but now it seems that they are of no use at all.
With Jingyan's ability, it would be best to let him master it slowly. His own understanding is simply outdated rubbish.
Maruboshi Kosuke sighed: "No wonder you can become a jonin at the age of eight..."
"Senior is wrong."
Jingyan sheathed his sword.
Maruboshi Kosuke was slightly startled, then he smiled and said, "How am I wrong?"
"Becoming a jonin is not entirely based on strength. Isn't someone as strong as you only a genin? I know another person who has been a genin for more than 20 years, and he is also very powerful."
Jing Yan said.
Maruboshi Kosuke knew that Jingyan was talking about another Genin who had recently gained fame.
Matt Day.
I have been studying the Eight Gates for more than ten years.
If Might Guy hadn't used it in the Chunin Exam, the village wouldn't even know about this person.
but.
He is more concerned about...
"What is a jonin in your eyes?"
"A jonin must not only be strong, but also have the ability to unite his teammates and the judgment to handle missions..."
Jingyan said his understanding of Jonin.
Maruboshi Kosuke stood there in a daze.
Things that took you more than ten or twenty years and cost you a huge amount of money to understand, the other person already understood them when he was eight years old, and understood them more thoroughly than you did.
It’s unbelievable that there are such precocious people in the world!
He couldn't help but think of Jiraiya's comment -
The Hokage's thinking.
It’s not an exaggeration at all!
"Senior, I want to ask you a question, why are you still a genin?"
"Let me tell you a story. I have a friend..."
Maruboshi Kosuke talked about the past of his "friend".
Jingyan didn't expose it.
After listening, he said, "In my opinion, your friend is very cowardly."
Maruboshi Kosuke raised his eyebrows: "Why?"
"Although he has always been at the forefront, doing the most difficult and dangerous tasks, that is just the bravery of an ordinary man. If he becomes a jonin, he can teach the next generation and pass on his experience, abilities, and insights. At worst, he can write it into a book to warn the world..."
Jingyan said, looking at Maruboshi Kosuke, "Or is it that your friend is afraid of losing his reputation and dare not reveal his past? Or are you afraid of making the same mistake again?"
"How can it be!"
Maruboshi Kosuke seemed insulted and flew into a rage.
But soon.
He became depressed.
Because he felt that what Jingyan said seemed to make some sense.
Maybe being a jonin would allow me to do more?
and.
He was indeed afraid.
"I think the Second-generation Master will teach ninjutsu to your friend in the hope that he will learn from his mistakes and pass it on to the next generation. I think this is also part of the will of fire."
Jingyan said his thoughts on the matter, "If he really thinks that being a Genin is a punishment, then he is just making an excuse for being cowardly and avoiding responsibility."
Maruboshi Kosuke didn't say anything. He looked at Ryomine Kyouhiko who was talking eloquently, his expression dazed.
At this moment, he almost thought that the second generation master was standing in front of him.
"senior?"
"Ah? Oh, I, let me think about it, let me think..."
Maruboshi Kosuke looked dazed, as if he had lost his soul, and walked step by step towards one direction.
That is……
Monument to the heroes.
After a long while, he stood in front of the Monument to Heroes. On it was a name that read "Senju Tobirama". In the distance was the Hokage Rock, with the second portrait on it looking lifelike.
"Second-generation sama, that child... I almost thought it was you standing in front of me, lecturing me like you did before, and I felt like he was right."
"Inheritance and protection."
"It turns out that I have never really understood your will."
He knelt in front of the monument and cried bitterly.
"I'm not punishing myself, I'm just touching myself, being timid and escaping!"
Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.
Maruboshi Kosuke could not bear the critical hits from these swords. Looking back on the past, he felt that he had never understood Senju Tobirama's intention and had been avoiding him. He even moved himself and thought that he had paid for his sins.
In reality, Maruboshi Kosuke whimpered, his heart filled with regret.
After crying for a while, he heard a sound behind him.
"You don't have to feel guilty. Without your past experiences, you wouldn't be who you are today. Just like without war, I wouldn't be who I am today."
