Naruto: Shadow Master of Nara Clan

Chapter 132: Personal Showcase (Part 1)

At this moment, on the battlefield where Konoha and the Mist Ninja were clashing, it was the Mist Ninja who first gained the upper hand, putting Konoha at a slight disadvantage. 

Besides the Mist Ninja taking advantage of the dense fog to launch surprise attacks and kill several Konoha ninjas, the rest of the ninjas on the battlefield were engaged in a difficult fight.

After all, in the brutal war, no one was willing to become a casualty.

Therefore, on this battlefield, whether they were Konoha ninjas or Mist ninjas, they were all fighting desperately.

As a result, the battle between Konoha and the Mist Ninja reached a stalemate, until suddenly, the "Incompetent" squad led by Koshino erupted with unexpected power, breaking the balance between Konoha and the Mist Ninja!

In just five minutes, nearly ten Mist Ninjas fell under the "Incompetent" squad led by Koshino. What a terrifying achievement!

It's important to know that even a Genin in the first line of Mist Ninja defense had survived the "Bloody Mist" era, and their personal skills far exceeded those of ordinary ninjas. 

Moreover, many of the Chunin and Jonin in the Mist Ninja ranks were elite survivors of the brutal Third Ninja War.

Otherwise, why would Konoha, with its numerical advantage, still be locked in a stalemate with the Mist Ninja when launching a decisive battle?

But it didn't matter if you were a ninja from the "Bloody Mist" era or an elite who survived the fierce battles of the Third Ninja War, in front of Koshino, you had no advantage at all!

With his personal combat skills, using the Shadow Communication Technique, Koshino skillfully guided Guy, Genma Shiranui, and Ebisu in slaughtering the Mist Ninja.

It was Koshino! When the battle was at a stalemate, he shattered the current situation, allowing Konoha to quickly gain the upper hand!

In an instant, the label of "Incompetent" disappeared, and the title of "Elite" was immediately bestowed upon the squad commanded by Koshino!

Even at this moment, not only did the commander hidden behind the Mist Ninja lines secretly acknowledge Koshino as a surprise force set by Shikaku, 

preparing to send Mist Ninja Jonin to intercept Koshino's squad at any cost, but also the Mist Ninja and Konoha squads on the battlefield were secretly impressed by the outstanding performance of Koshino's "Elite" squad!

From the Mist Ninja squad's perspective, seeing Koshino's squad continuously slay their comrades, their morale inevitably dropped!

On the other hand, the Konoha squads, witnessing the excellent performance of Koshino's squad, 

were like they had been injected with adrenaline, quickly suppressing the Mist Ninja squads they were facing, inspired by Koshino's squad!

Thus, Koshino not only changed the name of the "Incompetent" squad to a truly "Elite" squad with his personal abilities, but he also shifted the morale of Konoha's forces, tipping the scales of victory towards Koshino's side!

Participating in a real battle for the first time, Koshino became the key point in the direction of the battle, naturally deserving the attention of all!

Even the Konoha commander, Koshino's uncle Shikaku, couldn't help but cast a slightly excited gaze in the direction of Koshino's squad while directing the battle!

Beside Shikaku, Choza, a member of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio who was always protecting him, smiled and said to Shikaku as his gaze fell on Koshino's squad:

"Shikaku, Koshino's growth is really fast!"

"A few months ago, when Koshino sparred with you, it was still somewhat difficult for him to win."

"But after a few months of progress, Shikaku, heh heh..."

"Now, it might be a bit difficult for you to beat Koshino!"

"Yeah, Choza, you're right. Koshino's progress is really fast!"

Hearing his friend's praise, even someone as modest as Shikaku couldn't help but reveal a hint of pride. He smiled and said, 

"At first, when Minato suggested Koshino enter the battlefield for experience, I was a bit reluctant. 

But now, seeing Koshino grow so quickly and gradually become a pillar of the Nara Clan, I've suddenly realized Minato's suggestion was correct. 

A genius like Koshino can't be viewed with common sense. He needs to be trained in unconventional ways to truly follow his path of growth."

"So, from now on, I won't hold back Koshino's growth. Whatever Koshino wants to do, I'll support him wholeheartedly!"

"As for now..."

As Shikaku noticed the favorable situation for Konoha, he was silently calculating in his mind whether to assign Koshino more important tasks to further hone him.

Unexpectedly, just as Shikaku was thinking about this, two Mist Ninja Jonin launched a surprise attack on the squad led by Koshino, causing Shikaku's pupils to contract slightly!

"Damn it! The Mist Ninja are planning to send Jonin to ambush Koshino's squad!"

"Koshino is in danger!"

At that moment, why was Shikaku so shocked to see the Mist Ninja Jonin going to ambush Koshino? 

It was because the individual abilities of Mist Ninja Jonin were among the top in the five great ninja villages!

After all, the Mist Ninja had just ended the "Bloody Mist" period not long ago, and the brutal training methods during that time were well-known throughout the ninja world!

So, seeing two Mist Ninja Jonin going to attack Koshino's squad, Shikaku instinctively prepared to seek Choza's help to assist Koshino in dealing with those two Mist Ninja.

It wasn't that Shikaku underestimated Koshino's strength. Even though Koshino performed outstandingly in the elite Blade Squad, Shikaku still didn't believe Koshino had the strength to handle two Mist Ninja Jonin!

In the current battlefield, even if a Konoha squad had two Jonin, facing a squad led by a Mist Ninja Jonin often resulted in disastrous situations, with Konoha Jonin nearly being seriously injured by the Mist Ninja Jonin!

Realizing the dire situation Koshino was about to face, whether for Koshino's talent or because Koshino was a member of the Nara Clan and his own nephew, 

Shikaku was ready to use his authority to assist Koshino, prioritizing dealing with the two Mist Ninja Jonin planning to attack Koshino, putting his own safety aside.

But in the next second, what Shikaku and Choza never expected, a surprising scene unfolded!

Because in that split second, Shikaku and Choza suddenly realized their worries were completely unnecessary!

Those two Mist Ninja Jonin attacking Koshino's squad didn't cause trouble or pose a threat to Koshino at all.

Instead, they completely contributed to Koshino's reputation from another perspective, allowing Koshino to perform a perfect personal showcase on the brutal battlefield!

And just as Koshino's personal showcase was about to begin, his wind perception, comparable to the Fourth Hokage, instantly detected the presence of the two Mist Ninja Jonin!

At that time, Shikaku, Choza, and others hadn't anticipated that Koshino could easily handle the two Mist Ninja Jonin. 

They were all tense, fearing Koshino wouldn't be able to hold out under the pincer attack of the two Mist Ninja Jonin!

In contrast, Koshino, upon detecting the approach of the two Mist Ninja Jonin with his wind perception, had a faint smile at the corner of his mouth!

And when the two Mist Ninja Jonin were about to launch a fierce attack, aiming to first eliminate Guy and Ebisu, who were always protecting Koshino, Koshino's face, still wearing that confident smile, instantly used the secret technique of the Gale Style!

"I've been waiting too long for you Mist Ninja Jonin to attack!"

"Two Mist Ninja Jonin, huh?"

"Then let's use your lives to test the power of my Gale Style secret technique!"

"Gale Style!"
