Chapter 72 Konoha Reinforcements
"Damn it, what a ridiculous name. And why should I pay for your meal!"
Asuma was dissatisfied again, but Kyosuke ignored him and instead winked at Asuma.
"I see you have the air of a rebellious teenager. You probably wouldn't bother following those boring rules and introducing yourself, so I'll skip you."
snort!
Asma was frustrated and had nowhere to vent his anger.
He wasn't planning on introducing himself and wanted to embarrass Kyosuke, but Kyosuke took the initiative.
He was just a young boy, and he didn't know how to fight back.
Kyosuke stood tall and straightened his back, adopting the air of a team leader, and began to speak.
"As the captain, I should be guiding your training, but Asuma and Shizune, you have family traditions that I can't teach. Uncle Kosuke, you can ask me anything you don't understand, just treat me to some meat."
Are you unable to teach, or are you too lazy to teach?
You want to teach Uncle Kosuke? You're just doing this so you can eat meat for free!
Asuma and Shizune saw right through Kyosuke's heart.
Kosuke nodded happily: "Don't worry, I can not only cook, but I'm also good at hunting. I often get prey from the Konoha Forest, so I can make sure you eat meat every day."
Uncle, you really have a lot of free time. Have you retired early? You even have time to go hunting.
Kyosuke thought for a moment, and it seemed that the Anbu had given him a notification around dawn.
"By the way, meet at the Konoha gates at noon. We're going to support the Sand Ninja on the battlefield. Get ready."
Kyosuke left, and Asuma and Shizune were a little uneasy. After all, this was war!
Kosuke smiled and reassured him, "Don't worry, you are all excellent ninjas of Konoha. As long as you help each other, nothing will happen."
Hearing this, Shizune became even more worried.
Asuma and Kyosuke are unlikely to help each other; they're more likely to sabotage each other.
Kyosuke returned home, only to be greeted by a head of bright red hair as soon as he opened the door.
Kyosuke's heart skipped a beat, his eyes darted around, and he immediately cried out in pain.
"Madam, I'm going to the battlefield. I'm so scared, so worried, so sad! What if I don't come back and never see you again!"
Kyosuke thought that Kushina had come here to teach him a lesson because of what happened yesterday, so he decided to play the victim first.
I'm already in such a miserable state, you can't possibly hit me.
When Kushina gets violent, she even beats up Minato Namikaze, let alone Kyosuke.
As a war orphan, Kushina knew the cruelty of war. Seeing the outbreak of war these past few days had made her very depressed, but she didn't want to show it.
In the morning, Minato Namikaze bid farewell to Kushina, who then learned that both Minato and Kyosuke were going to the battlefield, so she came to visit Kyosuke.
Originally filled with worry, Kushina's worries vanished upon seeing Kyosuke's fake crying. She felt both angry and amused, and her fists clenched tightly as if out of habit.
He wanted to punch that despicable Kyosuke, but then he remembered that Kyosuke was going to the battlefield today, so he loosened his fist and instead threw down a scroll.
"Stop pretending. This is the scroll of the Four Symbols Seal. Remember to destroy it after you've read it."
Kyosuke stopped crying then, his face filled with emotion. He picked up the scroll, his voice trembling.
"Master's wife... could you... teach me the Eight Trigrams Sealing Technique as well..."
I shouldn't give this guy the time of day.
boom!
Kushina's fist could no longer hold back and, as if by natural law, landed on Kyosuke's head.
"You idiot, you don't even know how long it will take you to master the Four Symbols Seal, and you still want the Eight Trigrams Seal? You're too greedy!"
Even if there's no guarantee of success, we might as well try our luck.
Kyosuke rubbed his head, chuckled, and didn't argue.
Before leaving, Kushina couldn't help but remind Kyosuke, "You must come back alive. I want to see you become Hokage."
Kyosuke immediately assured him, "Don't worry, Madam, I will keep a close eye on him and make sure no other woman gets close!"
boom!
The door slammed shut, and Kushina hurried away, worried that if she was too slow, her fist would fall again.
They're finally gone. I really don't know how to deal with this sticky, lingering emotional bond.
Let's all have a laugh, be happy, and avoid topics that tug at our hearts. Wouldn't that be better and more relaxing?
Sitting in the chair, Kyosuke's smile vanished. He simply opened the scroll and began to carefully memorize its contents.
At noon, Kyosuke arrived at the gates of Konoha and found three of his subordinates.
This time, Konoha dispatched 5,000 ninja troops, commanded by Mitokado Homura.
As for Danzo and Jiraiya, they were sent to the northern border of the Land of Fire to defend against the Iwa and Kumo ninja.
The Cloud Ninja and the Mist Ninja officially started their war some time ago, but they haven't had a large-scale decisive battle yet, so the Cloud Ninja have to be on guard.
As for the eastern coast, they could only send out patrol troops to patrol, including Might Guy and his son. Kyosuke even got a farewell meal.
After all, Konoha doesn't currently have the strength to take on four opponents at once; with its limited resources, it's impossible to defend against all powerful enemies simultaneously.
Hopefully, the Cloud Ninja, the Rock Ninja, and the Mist Ninja won't attack us all at once!
The Third Hokage is now incredibly devout, and out of concern, he no longer even peeks!
Five thousand people stood outside Konoha Village, creating a truly magnificent sight.
Many villagers came to see off their relatives and friends, and they were in low spirits.
After all, who knows how many people will come back alive from this journey?
Kyosuke's teacher at school, Naohiro Takahara, also came and gave Kyosuke a fine dagger.
"Kyosuke, your short sword has been used for several years, it's time to replace it. You must come back alive!"
Kyosuke removed the short sword from his back and bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you, teacher!"
With the army fully prepared, Takahara Naohiro, not wanting to waste time talking to Kyosuke, patted Kyosuke on the shoulder and turned to leave.
This year, his students have just graduated and are about to face war, which makes Naohiro Takahara very sad.
"Kyosuke, just follow me."
Just as Naoto Takahara left, Minato Namikaze walked over, followed by Kakashi, Obito, and Rin.
Kyosuke knew that Minato Namikaze was looking out for him, so he didn't stand on ceremony and nodded in agreement. Then he looked at Obito and put on airs of a leader.
"Teacher, this is your new team member, Genin Obito."
When Kyosuke teased Obito, Rin and Shizune covered their mouths and laughed, Asuma turned his head away, Kakashi muttered about the trouble, and Obito was naturally furious.
"Hey, you're just a Chunin, don't look down on me! I'll definitely surpass you!"
Just as Kyosuke was about to say something, the surroundings suddenly fell silent. Turning his head, he saw the Third Hokage and Mitokado Homura walking out of the Konoha gate.
"I'm counting on you this time."
The Third Hokage looked solemnly at Mitokado Homura.
Mitokado Homura didn't say much, just nodded and said, "I will definitely help Orochimaru defeat the Sand Ninja."
The three generations did not give speeches on resisting invasion, nor did they need to say much.
Moreover, Kyosuke guessed that there were five thousand people here, not fifty, and most people couldn't hear the Third Generation's voice.
Do you expect Huo Xiang to stand there like a vegetable vendor holding a small megaphone?
Hehe, just imagining this scene isn't bad at all!
Mitokado Homura turned around and rushed to the battlefield first, while Konoha ninjas, including Kyosuke, followed one after another, forming a surging sea of people behind him.
