Chapter 561 Genius Shikishi Sumi
Chapter 561 Genius Shikishi Sumi
The younger brother of Nanami Hoshigaki, whom Kakashi had always misunderstood, is the same person as Susumu Hoshigaki in Boruto.
That villain who started yet another chapter of idiocy.
In the Boruto storyline, Susumu Hoshigaki took a knife for Yagura's grandson, Kagura Karatachi. From then on, all he had to do was unzip his turtleneck sweater, and Kagura would be unable to disobey his commands once she saw the scars on his body...
……
This is perhaps the world after Naruto's victory, a ninja world filled with bonds.
That's too much.
In short, during the Boruto era, Shizuma Hoshigaki wanted to overthrow the rule of Kirigakure and return to the leadership of the Blood Mist.
Kagura, whom he could control with his body, was a disciple of the Fifth Mizukage, Chojuro, and had inherited Chojuro's ninja sword, Teppanyaki Salted Fish. She was also designated as the next Mizukage.
Then came the classic scenario where Chojuro compromised for Kagura's sake, and in the end, Kagura's character was completely killed off.
Of course, it's also possible that Chojuro was simply too incompetent.
In the Boruto era, Kirigakure was like a complete novice deliveryman, full of noobs.
What is the strength of the group led by Shizuma Hoshigaki, who wants to overthrow the rule of Kirigakure?
Chunin.
Yes, that's right, even the strongest Shizuma Hoshigaki is only a Chunin.
Then these new Seven Ninja Swordsmen, wielding their swords, were attacked by Boruto and his genin...
Oh wait, Boruto came to Kirigakure on a school trip to celebrate graduating from the Ninja Academy. In other words, these Chunin were easily defeated by a group of people who weren't even Genin.
You respect the history of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen being killed by the genin Might Guy, right?
The problem is that after Might Guy opened the Eighth Gate, he definitely had the strength of a Kage.
Boruto and his friends are really not that skilled; they're at most genin.
It's not like Lama Tao performed the ritual on my behalf.
Besides, Boruto didn't have Momo Lama yet at this time.
However, these very same Seven Ninja Swordsmen who were brutally beaten by Konoha elementary school students had just given the Mizukage Chojuro a sound beating before they were beaten.
While being beaten and covered in injuries, Chojuro kept saying cool things like, "You can't defeat your opponent without being prepared to get hurt."
Dude, you're a Mizukage, and you're taking on a few Chunin, who are the same Chunin that Konoha elementary school kids can easily kill, and you're getting seriously injured and bleeding? And you're still smug about it?
According to your logic, even if Hashirama Senju were to catch a chicken, he would have to be prepared to get injured, right?
Ironically, the investigation eventually revealed that the conservative leaders of Kirigakure had been secretly funding rebels like Susumu Hoshigaki.
These high-ranking officials are quite intelligent.
The neighboring Orochimaru's Impure World Reincarnation plan to destroy Konoha failed, but Kirigakure here thinks they can overthrow the regime by funding a few Chunin.
What's even more absurd is that, considering the outcome of Chojuro being seriously injured and Kagura dying, they almost succeeded.
That's why Bai Mo lamented that the Boruto era was a new version of the ninja world severely corrupted by fate.
If the manga's plot is about the bullying and inhumane treatment of the new Shu Han, plus the political intrigue of Eastern Wu, then the original plot in Wuyin Village is entirely about the strategy of the Milk Dragon that brings the world lines together, plus a chaotic melee of mentally unstable Cao Wei.
And now, the father that Hoshigaki Nanami mentioned, who spread the idea of the Blood Mist, is still alive.
Together with Hoshigaki Shizuma, who fully inherited his father's will and took it upon himself to return to the Blood Mist, this father and son can be described as a pair of smiling tigers and two dirty sharks.
That's a pretty accurate description.
On the surface, the father and son warmly welcomed Green Sunflower and even allocated him a house, asking the neighbors and villagers to take care of him. However, they actually harbored malicious intentions.
"This is a wanted notice issued by Konoha, stating that he stole important confidential items from Konoha."
Gan Shichenling said to his son with a gloomy expression.
"Confidential? He didn't mention this to us?"
Upon hearing this, Hoshigaki Shimizu immediately showed a displeased expression.
"That's right. Since he doesn't consider us one of his own, then we don't need to consider him one of our own either. He'll betray us sooner or later, so we might as well strike first. Son, go and inform your uncles."
Gan Shichenling made a throat-slitting gesture at her son.
"No, Father."
Shi Chengzhen shook his head. "I have a rough idea of what that guy stole. We can deal with him, but we need to get that thing first so that our business can move forward."
"Oh? What is it?"
"Konoha's latest Sage Mode training method."
"That thing?"
"Yes, that's it."
Shi Chengzhen nodded, then began her analysis in a serious tone.
"Father, think about it. Konoha clearly said that it lost an important confidential item, but we haven't heard of anyone Konoha sent to hunt down Green Blue Aoi."
He was just a Chunin, and he got here so easily without ever having fought a single battle.
What does this tell us?
What Konoha lost is important, but not that important.
And there's only one thing that meets this condition: the Sage Mode training method that Konoha is currently promoting throughout the entire ninja world.
"That's true."
Gan Shi Chenling stroked his chin and considered the logic, confirming his son's guess.
It is only because this kind of secret was going to be spread that Konoha did not take it seriously.
But this thing is extremely important to them.
The officials of Kirigakure receive instruction from the officials of Konoha, but as rebels, they have no chance to learn it.
If they want to contend with Mei Terumi's power, or even gain the upper hand and seize the opportunity, then they also need to cultivate Sage Mode.
With this in mind, they took action.
However, all of their actions were under Kisame's surveillance.
Kisame, a ninja with Kage-level strength, could easily monitor a village where the highest-ranking ninja were only Chunin, and even then, they had little practical combat experience.
Kisame asked Itachi if he should intervene, since Midori Aoi was a Konoha rogue ninja. Itachi said he would think about it.
Looking around, they saw several dark figures sneaking into Green Sunflower's room, where she had drunk the sedative red tea, and taking something out of it.
Following the advice of Susumu Hoshigaki, who, despite his young age, could think from the perspective of the Mizukage (referring to Chojuro), they did not take action against Midori Aoi.
This was to prevent the sleeping tea from being ineffective or having some kind of restriction, which could lead to him perishing along with the treasure.
"Sir, this is it. He always holds it in his arms even when he's asleep. It must be that treasure."
The villagers who had stolen the item handed the Thor's Sword to Hoshigaki Shizune.
"What is this?"
Gan Shi Chenling looked puzzled, gripping the Thor's Sword and examining it from all angles, but couldn't figure it out.
The son guessed it was a cultivation method for immortals; shouldn't it be a scroll?
What is this thing?
"Father, I understand!"
Thinking from the perspective of the Mizukage, Shizuma Hoshigaki raised his hand from behind the crowd and pointed at the Thunder God Sword, "This is a ninja tool made by Konoha to accelerate the training of Sage Mode!"
Father, do you still remember Bottle-kun Niu Zihao's shop?
"So that's what it was?"
Looking at the empty hole above Thor's Sword, Kanashi Shiki suddenly realized what was going on.
