Naruto: Shadow Master of Nara Clan

Chapter 134: The Power of the Air Blade

"Wait, wait, wait!"

"Am I seeing things?"

Six seconds, it only took six seconds! 

Shikaku was just about to summon Choza to support Koshino, but who would have thought that in just six seconds, Koshino completed a perfect solo performance!

Following Shikaku's direction, they saw two Mist Jonin painfully collapsed beside Koshino. As the current member of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, Choza was just as dumbfounded as Shikaku!

Clearly, neither Shikaku nor Choza expected that not only did Koshino not suffer at the hands of the two Mist Jonin, but he also managed to finish the battle in just six seconds!

So, when Choza snapped back to reality, his expression was as if he had just eaten something unpleasant.

Even when he looked at Shikaku in a daze, Choza couldn't help but twitch his mouth and ask, "Shikaku, are you sure Koshino is really human and not some kind of monster?"

"A few months ago, Koshino's strength was at most that of a Genin, and even sparring with you was quite difficult, right?"

"But now?"

"Two Mist Jonin, and during the 'Bloody Mist' era no less! Koshino took only a few seconds to deal with them?"

"So, how long do you think it would take Koshino to take us down if we fought him? Would it also be just a few seconds?"

As Choza's questions came one after another, Shikaku couldn't help but twitch his eye as well. He then cleared his throat and said, 

"Ahem, Choza, to be honest, Koshino's growth rate has exceeded my expectations too, but I don't think Koshino can easily take us down. 

Those two Mist Jonin were a bit overconfident; otherwise, they wouldn't have died so quickly."

"Moreover, Choza, didn't you notice?"

"The new secret technique Koshino used isn't from our Nara Clan, but something Minato taught him!"

"So, when those two Mist Jonin attacked Koshino, they assumed he was from our Nara Clan and thought his close combat skills were weak. 

They couldn't imagine that Koshino had learned so many new techniques from Minato. Their overconfidence and lack of understanding gave Koshino the chance to shine."

"Now that both of us are familiar with Koshino's combat style, if we were to fight him, we'd definitely be cautious, and the outcome would be hard to predict."

"But..."

Shikaku didn't finish his sentence, but as his friend, Choza naturally understood the underlying meaning.

Clearly, Shikaku was implying that while Koshino might not easily defeat the combined forces of him and Choza now, given some time to develop, it wouldn't just be the two of them who might struggle against Koshino. 

Even the Ino-Shika-Cho trio might taste defeat in front of him!

However, Koshino is from the Nara Clan, with such talent and rapid progress. Besides feeling happy, Shikaku was proud to have such a nephew.

As for Choza.

The Nara Clan, Akimichi Clan, and Yamanaka Clan are closely connected.

Seeing the new generation of the Nara Clan supported by Koshino, Choza was delighted for the future of the three clans. He silently mused, 

"I initially thought Koshino had some talent, but who could have imagined he'd grow so fast? In three years, Koshino's strength might rival Minato's, or even the Third Hokage!"

"Looking back, giving Koshino that scroll was indeed a wise choice!"

"With Koshino, not only will the Nara Clan soar, but my Akimichi Clan and Haiichi's Yamanaka Clan will also rise. As long as we can send talented new generations to cooperate with Koshino, the new Ino-Shika-Cho trio will undoubtedly be the strongest generation!"

"Hmm?"

As he pondered silently, Choza suddenly noticed Koshino's figure vanish from sight again. He tugged on Shikaku's sleeve and asked, "Shikaku, what is Koshino up to now?"

"No idea!"

Using the Wind Body Flicker Technique, Koshino moved so swiftly that Shikaku and Choza couldn't quite grasp his intentions.

However, when Koshino used the Wind Body Flicker to disappear from beside Guy, Ebisu, and Genma Shiranui, only to reappear next to Uchiha Ryu, 

who was about to severely injure a Mist ninja jonin, Shikaku and Choza suddenly understood! Clearly, they realized that Koshino's target was the Mist ninja jonin being suppressed by Uchiha Ryu!

"Whoosh!"

That's right!

Having tested the power of the Gale Style Secret Technique: Palm Blade, Koshino intended to use more Mist ninja jonins' lives to establish the reputation of the Gale Style Secret Technique!

His figure vanished, utilizing the Wind Body Flicker Technique.

Koshino disappeared from his original spot and reappeared behind the Mist ninja jonin who was engaged with Uchiha Ryu!

The Mist ninja jonin was undoubtedly very cautious. Despite being suppressed by Uchiha Ryu, upon noticing Koshino suddenly appear behind him, 

he braced himself against Uchiha Ryu's attack to avoid being caught in a pincer attack by Koshino and Uchiha Ryu!

No mistake, the Mist ninja jonin fighting Uchiha Ryu had remarkable combat awareness.

Moreover, if one were to analyze the data, an interesting fact would emerge.

During the intense battles of the Third Great Ninja War, the majority of casualties in each ninja village were genin and chunin. 

Jonin, on the other hand, generally managed to preserve their lives even in fierce battles, surviving despite severe injuries.

This data indicates that jonin have a high survival rate in war.

Previously, Koshino had instantly killed two Mist ninja jonins, something that would be impossible in a normal battle.

Even if a jonin lacks the power to kill an enemy, they still have certain trump cards to escape, unless a Kage-Level powerhouse like the Fourth Hokage is involved. 

Otherwise, jonin rarely face death in typical battles! This is why Shikaku and Choza were so shocked when they saw Koshino kill two Mist ninja jonins in just six seconds.

At this moment, as Koshino launched a surprise attack, the Mist ninja jonin was fully prepared to escape. This situation seemed normal to experienced ninjas like Choza, Shikaku, and Uchiha Ryu.

However, Koshino's Wind Body Flicker surprise attack didn't succeed. The Mist ninja jonin, to avoid being caught in a pincer attack by Koshino and Uchiha Ryu, also suffered injuries from Uchiha Ryu. 

A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he glanced deeply at Uchiha Ryu, then let out a cold snort, ready to leave the battlefield to avoid his own demise.

But just as the Mist ninja jonin made a clear decision to escape, there was another "whoosh" sound!

Koshino's surprise attack left the Mist ninja jonin with no chance to flee! 

As soon as the Wind Body Flicker was used, Koshino appeared right in front of the Mist ninja jonin, who gritted his teeth and prepared to use a secret technique to escape. 

Suddenly, Koshino's hand slashed down as if wielding an invisible blade!

The way it slashed was as if Koshino held some kind of sharp weapon! The Mist ninja jonin, believing Koshino was unarmed, maintained a smile while preparing to cast his secret technique.

Unexpectedly, as Koshino's hand descended, there was a "buzz" sound!

An invisible wind blade followed the path of Koshino's hand, swiftly slicing towards the Mist ninja jonin!

By the time the Mist ninja jonin realized and prepared to block with his kunai, Koshino's cold voice reached him. 

He first felt a sharp pain in his waist and abdomen, then instinctively shifted his gaze, only to find his upper and lower body had been severed in two!
