American comics: Starting as the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast

Chapter 127 Explosion Release Acquired

Howard watched with satisfaction as the audience below the stage reacted with shock.

But soon, the satisfaction on his face disappeared.

After floating for less than ten seconds, the car's "anti-gravity device" began to strain and started sparking.

Bang!

The car, which was less than half a meter off the ground, crashed down under the force of gravity and slammed heavily onto the floor of the exhibition stand.

Although things weren't quite as planned, Howard didn't show any panic. Holding the microphone, he said, "I already said it would be a few more years, right?"

Upon hearing his words, enthusiastic applause erupted once again from the audience.

Regardless, Howard's performance this time was quite an eye-opener for the audience.

Rogers clapped briefly and turned to look at the recruitment posters on the sign.

The poster depicts a white-haired old man with sharp eyes, wearing a top hat in the colors of the American flag and a tailcoat.

The old man raised his right hand, pointing his index finger at the audience looking at the poster.

"I need you to join the United States Army!"

Upon seeing the poster, Rogers left quietly without saying goodbye to Bucky, preparing to head to the nearby recruiting office as Roy had instructed.

"Steve, let's ask Connie and Jenny to go—"

Bucky turned his gaze away from Howard and looked at Rogers.

Before he could finish speaking, he discovered that Rogers had already secretly left.

Bucky sighed helplessly after discovering Rogers had left.

Without even guessing, he knew Rogers had gone to the recruiting office.

Bucky turned and said a few words to Connie and the other woman, then led them out of the exhibition hall and toward the recruitment office.

Not long after, Bucky arrived at the recruitment office.

Connie and Jenny did not come in with him, but waited for him in the square.

Once inside the recruitment office, he found Rogers without much difficulty.

Rogers stood in front of a special mirror.

The rest of the mirror is painted with soldiers standing in formation and saluting.

The soldier at the front was also saluting, but this soldier had no face.

As long as you stand in front of this soldier, your face will appear in the mirror, creating the effect that the saluting soldier is you.

Rogers also stood in front of the mirror, but his face did not fit perfectly into the saluting soldier's.

He's not tall enough!

The mirror only reflected a small part of his face!

Just then, Bucky came up behind Rogers and patted him on the shoulder.

"Let's go. Tonight is a four-person date, it can't be without you. Let's go dance." Bucky said to Rogers.

Rogers turned to Bucky and replied, "You go first, I'll come find you later."

Bucky can understand why Rogers wanted to join the army.

But from a personal perspective, he didn't want Rogers to join the army at all.

Rogers was plagued by illness and was physically weak.

Even if Rogers manages to exploit a loophole and pass the enlistment physical, he will most likely die on the battlefield after joining the army.

Let alone Rogers, even Bucky himself wouldn't dare say he'd definitely come back alive.

"Do you really want to try it?"

"That Roy might be a fraud. He told you to come to the recruitment office at the expo tonight, but he didn't show up himself."

Bucky looked at Rogers with a helpless expression and said slowly.

Before Rogers could answer, Roy's voice rang out behind Bucky.

"I arrived early this morning, but you just didn't notice me."

"Also, I'm not a liar."

Bucky was caught off guard by Roy's presence and looked embarrassed.

Rogers immediately stepped in to smooth things over for Bucky, easing the awkwardness of the situation.

"Tonight happens to be the carnival, my luck should be pretty good," Rogers said slowly.

Bucky sighed, "It's not a matter of luck; falsifying recruitment forms is illegal."

"Even if you pass the physical exam, it's still possible that they'll find out when you enlist, and that would be even worse."

Rogers looked at Bucky and continued, "I know you think I'm being stupid, but I have to try."

Bucky was about to say something when Roy spoke up, "Trying it at least gives you a chance; if you don't try, you'll have no chance at all."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Dr. Erskine appeared in Roy's line of sight.

"Do you even realize how much trouble this will cause if it gets out? This isn't as simple as getting caught fighting in the street; it's a military court case."

"This is war, a war in which many people will die."

Bucky looked at Rogers with excitement, his voice unconsciously becoming much louder.

"I know this is war, which is why I want to join the army even more," Rogers replied.

"There are many ways to serve your country. You don't have to join the army. You can find another job," Bucky said loudly.

"What kind of job do you think I could find? Picking up trash?" Rogers got angry as Bucky kept refuting him.

He knew Bucky was doing it for his own good.

But joining the army had always been his dream.

Even if a world war hadn't broken out, he would still try to join the army.

Because he wanted to be like his father, a reliable and patriotic real man.

"I'm not asking you to pick up trash. You can go to a factory, like a military factory. Working in a military factory is also serving your country," Bucky replied immediately.

"I don't want to go to a factory, I don't want any factory, I just want to be a soldier."

"Everyone is fighting desperately on the battlefield, I don't want to hide in the rear."

"I didn't join the army to prove anything."

Rogers said loudly.

Seeing Rogers getting excited, Bucky gave him a helpless look: "Fine, if you want to do it, then do it."

Bucky patted Rogers on the shoulder and turned to walk toward the recruitment office gate.

"He's been pretty good to you," Roy said to Rogers.

"He's my best friend, and my only friend," Rogers replied.

After saying that, he remembered something and shouted to Bucky, who was leaving, "Be careful, I will definitely come to find you. We'll win the war when I get there."

Bucky stopped and went back to Rogers, giving him a hug.

"You're an idiot," Bucky retorted.

"You too," Rogers said with a smile.

After the hug, Bucky saluted Rogers and left the recruiting office.

After Bucky left, Rogers said to Roy, "Am I really going to pass the physical?"

"Of course!" Roy replied.

Dr. Erskine, who was standing nearby, did not speak, but he had already seen the answer in Dr. Erskine's eyes.

Rogers didn't say anything more and walked towards the room where he would have his medical examination.

Seeing him head to the room for his medical examination, Dr. Erskine, who had originally planned to go home after get off work, followed him.

A few minutes later, Roy saw the message that the commission was complete.

[Client 3 is complete!]

[Commission Reward: Bloodline Limit: Explosion Release (Sent)]

Looking at the system information in front of him, Roy smiled with satisfaction.

At the same time, knowledge about creating Explosion Release clay appeared in his mind.

Although they are all bloodline limits, Explosion Release is different from Sharingan, Wood Release, Magnet Release, and other bloodline limits.

To successfully execute the Explosion Release, you need to use specially made clay.

Otherwise, the Explosion Release technique would not be able to unleash its full power.

Roy wasn't surprised that the system would include knowledge about Explosion Release Clay.

Not only that, when he decided to accept this commission, he had already figured out how to use the Explosion Release technique.

Just refer to Deidara!

Deidara has already perfected the development of Explosion Release, so there's no need to waste brain cells thinking of new Explosion Release ninjutsu; he can just copy it directly.
