Chapter 93 Truly Deserving of the Name (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

“Someone like you wouldn’t be an unknown figure in Konoha, but I’ve never heard of you.”

Hozuki Chizuki stared at Namikaze Minato.

He was absolutely certain that his attack would hit Sarutobi Shinnosuke, but it missed.

That's too fast.

In that situation, he made his first mistake.

Minato Namikaze said, "Konoha Jonin, Minato Namikaze!"

He had already made a name for himself in the ninja world and had begun to earn the nickname "Yellow Flash," but it was far from being as famous as it would become later.

Kirigakure is a relatively isolated village.

Kirigakure did not participate in the Second Shinobi World War at all.

Therefore, Hozuki Chizuki and the others had not recognized Namikaze Minato at all, and they did not know about the Yellow Flash before.

But now, they remember Minato Namikaze.

Afterwards, Kurozuki Raiga got up from the ground, his clothes stained with blood.

The Wind Release: Rasengan that Minato Namikaze used earlier left him with more than a dozen wounds after it exploded, including one on his face.

"I remember you!"

Hozuki Chizuki looked up at the tiger-headed eagle that was rapidly descending, and then ordered, "Retreat!"

shhhhhh!
One by one, the Mist Ninja took their comrades with them and leaped back.

Genichi Shushita and Ina Uzumaki leaped off the back of the tiger-headed eagle and landed on the water.

"Brother Minato, aren't we going to give chase?"

Minato Namikaze shook his head: "No need, just expel them from the Land of Fire."

"Xuanyi, I'll leave this to you. I'm going to check on Kakashi and the others."

After glancing at Ina Uzumaki, Minato Namikaze disappeared.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke removed his mask and laughed, "Genichi, I didn't expect to run into you again."

Genichi under the tree spread his hands: "It seems we're late this time."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke quickly replied, "It's not too late at all. The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are indeed formidable. If it weren't for Genichi, they probably wouldn't have retreated so easily."

He wasn't being modest.

Once they are familiar with Minato Namikaze's fighting style, the Mist Ninja will definitely be able to coordinate more smoothly, making the fights more difficult.

Genichi Kishita wanted to kill the other six members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist in one go, but unfortunately he arrived a little too late.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Senior, it seems that the Roots are fighting over there. Should we go and help?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke immediately nodded and put on his mask: "Thank you!"

So the group set off.

While traveling, Sarutobi Shinnosuke looked at Uzumaki Ina and asked, "Genichi, who is this?"

Genichi Shushita said, "I met Ina Uzumaki during my travels, and we started traveling and training together."

The Uzumaki Clan!
Sarutobi Shinnosuke thought to himself, "As expected," having guessed it the moment he saw that head of red hair.

However, he didn't ask any further questions afterward.

By the time they arrived, the Mist Ninja who had been fighting the Root ninjas had also retreated.

The Root ninjas continued to follow the retreating Mist Ninjas, keeping watch along the way.

Genichi and the others stopped and waited for Minato and the other three to catch up.

"Xuan Yi, what are you doing here?"

Obito Uchiha was very surprised to see Genichi under the tree.

Genichi Shushita smiled and said, "Obito, it's been a long time."

"It just so happens that I'm traveling and cultivating in the vicinity."

Then he looked at Kakashi and Rin Nohara: "Kakashi, how have you been lately?"

"Lin, you've grown even prettier!"

Rin Nohara, her face slightly flushed, greeted Genichi Kinoshita. Kakashi looked at Genichi and said, "You seem to have changed quite a bit."

Genichi looked down at himself under the tree: "Really?"

"He's probably grown quite a bit taller again."

Obito Uchiha couldn't help but complain, "Xuan Yi, what's wrong with you looking like this?"

Standing next to Xuan Yi under the tree, he looked like a dwarf, not at all like someone his age.

Genichi Shushita couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Obito, eat more regularly."

Kakashi pointed at Genichi's forehead under the tree: "You..."

Nohara Rin said, "I think Lady Tsunade also has one on her forehead."

Genichi pointed to the Yin seal mark on his forehead and laughed, "This is a sealing technique."

Minato Namikaze was also carefully observing Genichi under the tree, secretly marveling, "Genichi has really changed a lot; he seems to have grown a great deal!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke, however, seemed to have thought of something: "Genichi, are you still training in the same place as before?"

Xuan nodded under the tree.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke's heart pounded, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Genichi, you didn't kill Samehada, the wielder of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, did you?"

In an instant, Minato Namikaze and the others all turned their gazes to Genichi under the tree.

Obito Uchiha couldn't help but say, "This... can't be right, can it?"

"That's a Jonin!"

Kakashi scoffed: "Genichi isn't like you, a loser."

He knew Genichi Kinoshita's strength much better than Obito Uchiha did.

Although he was somewhat surprised, he did not believe that Genichi Kishita could not do it.

Obito Uchiha's anger surged after Kakashi stabbed him in the heart.

At this moment, Xuan Yi under the tree said with a hint of helplessness, "Senior, you are really perceptive."

what?
Uchiha Obito was stunned.

Nohara Rin secretly marveled, "As expected of Genichi-kun!"

Minato Namikaze was also quite surprised: "Genichi, according to the information from Kirigakure, that guy was killed in the Land of Water, right?"

Shuxia Gen nodded: "Yes, Brother Shuimen."

"I went to the Land of Water a while ago and infiltrated Kirigakure for a period of time."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke couldn't help but smile wryly: "You're too bold."

The other three masked ANBU ninjas were now looking at Genichi Kinoshita in a completely different way.

Now I finally understand why the captain was so polite to this genius.

He truly deserves to be called a genius of genjutsu, surpassing even the Uchiha clan!

They used to think that the Yunren were just flattering them, but now they think it's well-deserved.

Minato Namikaze said, "It seems that the Kirigakure has found out some things, but they don't know that you were the one who made the move."

Xuan Yi said from under the tree, "I shouldn't have been exposed."

"The operation took place outside Kirigakure. There were no survivors, and the bodies were taken away. The battlefield wasn't cleaned up, but not many traces were left. I mainly used genjutsu."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke was completely relieved and immediately said, "Minato-senpai, I'll lead the team to send the Kirigakure out of the Land of Fire first. You and Genichi can stay here for now!"

Minato Namikaze and Genichi Kinoshita exchanged a glance, then nodded: "Okay, be careful!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke led his men away, while Genichi and the others sat down to rest under a large tree.

As soon as Obito Uchiha sat down, he asked with great curiosity, "Xuan Yi, why did you go and kill the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?"

Genichi smiled and said, "Originally, I wanted to assassinate the Third Mizukage."

Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara were both shocked when they heard this.

Genichi Shushita couldn't help but laugh when he saw their expressions: "Just kidding." "I traveled to the Land of Water and was curious about Kirigakure, so I went in to take a look."

"After hearing about the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, I gathered some information. Just then, Suigetsu Fuguki, the wielder of Samehada, left the village on a mission, so I killed him on the way."

Nohara Rin said, "It must have been very dangerous, right?"

Genichi Kishita thought for a moment and nodded: "The Seven Ninja Swordsmen are truly worthy of their name. Suigetsu Hozuki has a very keen intuition and sensed my killing intent, seeing through my disguise in advance."

Minato Namikaze and the others listened attentively.

Genichi Shushita continued, "Moreover, Suigetsu Hozuki, who wields the great sword Samehada, is considered a half-Jinchūriki. Ordinary genjutsu doesn't have much of an effect on him and can be broken instantly, even by Sharingan."

Sharingan?
Obito Uchiha was taken aback for a moment, then quickly asked, "Why is that?"

"The Sharingan's genjutsu can only be broken by someone else!"

Genichi Shushita: "That's right, which is why I said earlier that Suigetsu Hozuki, who wields the great sword Samehada, can be considered half a Jinchūriki."

"Jinchūriki?"

What is a Jinchūriki?

Uchiha Obito was puzzled.

The same applies to Kakashi and Rin Nohara.

The Jinchuriki of a Tailed Beast are not something an ordinary ninja could know.

Even Kakashi and Sakumo Hatake never mentioned this thing.

Genichi looked towards Minato Namikaze from under the tree.

Minato Namikaze said, "A Jinchuriki is a being with a massive chakra entity sealed within their body."

"All you need to know is that Jinchuriki are extremely powerful, especially those who have mastered the power of Tailed Beasts."

After saying that, he looked at Genichi under the tree and said, "It seems that the great sword Samehada is quite extraordinary."

Genichiro nodded, then formed hand seals and summoned the greatsword Samehada: "Obito, give it a try."

Obito Uchiha stood up and stepped forward, reaching out to grab the hilt of Samehada.

But the next moment he screamed and let go, and jumped backward.

Samehada stood up on its own and then hopped over to Genichi's back under the tree.

When Minato Namikaze and the others looked over, Obito Uchiha's right palm was covered in blood.

"This, this, this...it's alive!"

Obito Uchiha was utterly shocked.

Genichiro nodded: "Samehada can indeed be said to be alive, with its own consciousness."

"It can absorb chakra, and it can also return the absorbed chakra to the wielder."

Kakashi said, "That's why we can quickly break genjutsu."

"Extreme pain, and the feedback of chakra."

Xuan Yi smiled and said, "Not bad."

After being shocked, Nohara Rin quickly treated Uchiha Obito's injuries and bandaged his wounds.

Genichi Kishita continued, "The seven swords of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are all extraordinary."

"The Executioner's Blade wielded by Juzo Biwa can absorb blood, allowing it to regrow damaged parts and also restore its strength by absorbing blood."

"The explosive blade in Munari Jinpachi's hand contains countless explosive tags."

"Kurihara Kushimaru's long sword, Sewing Needle, moves with incredible speed, appearing and disappearing like a ghost."

"The blunt knife held by the Tongcao Yeyan can cut through any defense."

"The Raiga twin swords wielded by Raiga Kurosuki are perfectly suited for a master of Lightning Release ninjutsu."

"The twin swords Hiramekarei wielded by Hozuki Chizuki are said to be the strongest of the seven swords. When the two swords are combined, they can continuously accumulate chakra, and when released, they possess unparalleled power."

"Hozuki Chizuki should also be the strongest among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. He comes from the Hozuki clan, is proficient in Water Release, and has mastered the secret technique Water Transformation Technique, making him immune to physical attacks. Lightning Release is the most suitable way to deal with him."

Genichi Kishita revealed all the information about the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

Minato Namikaze will definitely bring this information back to Konoha.

Although many of the original plot points have been changed, once the Third Shinobi World War begins, Kirigakure will still clash with Konoha.

Kirigakure did not participate in the Second Shinobi World War, but they will definitely participate in the next one.

Genichiro was able to make this judgment based solely on the situation inside Kirigakure.

Kirigakure needs an external war to divert attention from its increasingly prominent internal conflicts.

Obito Uchiha was repeatedly amazed by the extraordinary nature of the seven ninja swords.

Minato Namikaze said, "It seems that Hozuki Chizuki didn't use his full strength today."

In the previous battle, Hozuki Chizuki didn't even use his sword.

Genichi Shushita said, "Brother Minato, you have the Flying Thunder God Technique, so these swords don't pose much of a threat to you."

Minato Namikaze shook his head: "Don't underestimate others."

He then asked, "Xuanyi, are you coming back with us this time?"

After thinking for a moment, Shuxia Genichi declined, saying, "I still need to travel and cultivate outside for a while."

He's only been out there for less than a year.

Going back now would probably mean endless missions again.

He has mastered only two of the ninjutsu techniques that deprive people of their five senses; there are still three to go.

While there's still no clue about smell and taste, Genichi Kinoshita has some ideas about touch.

Furthermore, once this year's overdraft of the future ends, Genichi Kinoshita plans to take Ina Uzumaki on a journey to find information about the Uzumaki clan scattered in various places.

If I want to go back to Konoha, going back before the New Year is enough.

Obito Uchiha listened with great envy: "I want to travel all over the ninja world someday, Rin, you should come with me!"

Kakashi's sharp tongue flared up: "You'd better get rid of your lateness and crying habits first!"

Obito Uchiha gritted his teeth, and his fists hardened again.

Genichi Shushita found the bickering between the two quite amusing.

When Sarutobi Shinnosuke and the others returned, it was time to say goodbye.

Before leaving, Kakashi said, "Genichi, when you return to Konoha, my new technique will definitely be completed!"

Genichi chuckled upon hearing this: "Then I'll have to wait and see!"

After Minato Namikaze and the others left, Genichi Koushi watched them go before summoning Tiger Head Eagle and Ina Uzumaki to leave together.

Obito Uchiha, who was leaving, couldn't help but turn back and ask, "Minato-sensei, Genichi's strength should already be that of a Jonin, right?"

Kakashi said coldly, "What an idiot, asking such a question."

Obito Uchiha immediately shouted, "Being able to kill a Jonin doesn't mean you have the strength of a Jonin."

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Nohara Rin quickly intervened to mediate.

Minato Namikaze also seemed somewhat helpless, and then said, "Being a Jonin does not necessarily mean absolute strength, but being able to become a Jonin does mean possessing undeniable abilities."

"As for Xuan Yi, his genjutsu and water-style abilities undoubtedly qualify him to become a Jonin."

Obito Uchiha nodded, remarking, "I wonder how that guy Genichi trained."

"But once I awaken my Sharingan, I'll definitely be able to catch up with him!"

Kakashi couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard that.

Minato Namikaze smiled and encouraged him, "Then Obito, you'd better do your best!"

Obito Uchiha was invigorated: "Of course! I'm going to become Hokage!"

Kakashi suddenly retorted, "Is there a Hokage who's always late and loves to cry?"

"Kakashi!"

Obito Uchiha's angry voice startled a flock of birds.
