Chapter 114: He is a Legend (Part 1)
As Koshino's indifferent voice echoed around them, it wasn't just the despairing Hyuga Nichirin who felt it;
even the slightly stunned Guy, Genma Shiranui, and Ebisu could deeply sense the chilling killing intent emanating from Koshino!
What truly shocked Guy, Genma Shiranui, and Ebisu was that Koshino didn't make a move often, but when he did, it was astonishing!
Ignoring the prestigious names of the Uchiha Clan and Hyuga Clan was something that members of the "incompetent" team like Guy could generally manage.
However, to completely disregard the Uchiha Clan and Hyuga Clan like Koshino did, injuring Uchiha Namida severely and then crippling Hyuga Nichirin's hands, was something none of them dared to attempt.
Even Genma Shiranui, the main focus of the Shiranui Clan, was the same.
Therefore, feeling the killing intent radiating from Koshino, Guy and the others could only feel a deep sense of admiration!
Moreover, Koshino had legitimate reasons for severely injuring Uchiha Namida and crippling Hyuga Nichirin, which made Genma Shiranui and Ebisu look at Koshino with eyes full of admiration.
Unfortunately, not everyone knew about Koshino's Anbu identity.
Like the ever-reckless Hyuga Nichirin, who, upon hearing Koshino's words, first showed despair, then snapped back with a cold laugh, shouting:
"Kid, do you know the consequences of impersonating Anbu?"
"Just a kid, and you really think you're Anbu?"
"You can't kill me! If you've got the guts, do it!"
"Do it!"
"Alright, as you wish."
Casting a disdainful glance at the frantic Hyuga Nichirin, Koshino sighed deeply, lamenting the prestigious reputation of the Hyuga Clan.
If he were to compare Uchiha Namida and Hyuga Nichirin, Koshino felt that Uchiha Namida had more spirit, more like an arrogant and somewhat daring guy.
After all, Uchiha Namida still had some backbone when facing Koshino, whereas Hyuga Nichirin could only be described with words like "incompetent" and "useless."
Moreover, the main and branch family system of the Hyuga Clan undoubtedly pushed the "prestigious" path of the Hyuga Clan further away.
In the original storyline, the Hyuga Clan's main family was in decline, with its members acting like brainless fools, while the branch family produced a few talented individuals.
Koshino initially thought that the portrayal of the Hyuga Clan in the original storyline was somewhat exaggerated.
After all, being a prestigious family in Konoha Village, there should be a limit to how bad they could be.
However, seeing Hyuga Nichirin's foolish demeanor and considering his status as a main family member,
Koshino finally understood that the Hyuga Clan's prestigious reputation was merely a facade.
It's likely that if the Uchiha Clan hadn't self-destructed in the original storyline, the Hyuga Clan would have completely declined under the Uchiha Clan's suppression in a few years.
Whether they could maintain the "prestigious" title depended on whether the Hyuga Clan's main and branch family system remained.
Then, looking sympathetically at the shouting Hyuga Nichirin beneath him, Koshino slowly took out his Anbu mask from his pocket under Hyuga Nichirin's despairing gaze once again.
Putting on the Anbu mask, not only did Hyuga Nichirin's expression change, but even Guy and the others looked at Koshino differently.
In an instant, Koshino, transformed back into Anbu, gave Guy, Genma Shiranui, and even the Hyuga Nichirin at his feet a chilling feeling.
It wasn't Koshino's killing intent, but the aura that came with being Anbu!
Thus, feeling the cold aura from Koshino, Hyuga Nichirin's shouting abruptly stopped.
Unfortunately, Hyuga Nichirin didn't get a chance to say a single line. As soon as Koshino donned the Anbu mask, he effectively sentenced Hyuga Nichirin to death.
Immediately after, there was a swift "whoosh" sound.
Without any hesitation, the kunai sliced through Hyuga Nichirin's throat.
Koshino didn't give Hyuga Nichirin a chance to explain, swiftly taking his life, truly acting as a man of his word.
As for Uchiha Namida, Koshino showed no mercy either. He quickly threw the kunai in his hand, which directly pierced Uchiha Namida's throat, putting an end to the farce before him.
Then, just as Genma Shiranui swallowed nervously, preparing to ask Koshino what to do next, Koshino, with a relaxed demeanor, showed no fear of provoking the Uchiha or Hyuga clans.
He waved towards Guy and Genma Shiranui, smiling as he said, "Guy, Genma, Ebisu, I need to handle this trouble for a bit, so please wait for me!"
"Wait, Koshino, we're coming with you!"
"Guy's right, Koshino, as brothers, I'll go with you!"
"Koshino, if Genma and Guy are going with you, how can we still call ourselves a team if I don't go? Let's go together!"
"Alright, no problem!"
From Guy, Genma Shiranui, and Ebisu's reactions, it was clear they were trustworthy companions, willing to face hardships together.
Koshino was equally willing to accept such reliable comrades.
Moreover, from their behavior, Koshino understood that their previous incompetence was likely related to their Chunin team leader.
Dragging the bodies of Uchiha Namida and Hyuga Nichirin, Koshino, dressed in Anbu attire and wearing an Anbu mask,
paid no mind to the astonished gazes of the onlookers in the camp, heading straight to the camp where Shikaku was located.
Upon reaching Shikaku's camp, Koshino reported the events truthfully, without embellishing or implicating the Nara Clan.
After Koshino finished explaining the truth, seeing Shikaku's serious expression, Guy and the others were understandably anxious.
But just as Guy and the others braced themselves to take responsibility for Koshino, Shikaku suddenly slammed his fist down, and what he said next left Guy, Genma Shiranui, and Ebisu stunned!
"This is outrageous! How could such a thing happen in my camp?"
"Koshino, you did the right thing! If the Uchiha or Hyuga clans dare cause trouble in the camp again, use your Anbu status to deal with them!"
"Understood?"
"Yes, Uncle Shikaku!"
Koshino had expected at least some reprimand, but Shikaku's temper turned out to be even fiercer than his own! Listening to Shikaku's outburst, Koshino couldn't help but smile beneath his mask.
Even Guy, Genma Shiranui, and Ebisu were beaming, seeing that Shikaku had no intention of blaming Koshino.
However, the joyful moment was fleeting. Just as Koshino escaped Shikaku's wrath and the "useless" team members were celebrating, a blood-soaked figure suddenly entered Shikaku's tent.
This not only made Shikaku's pupils contract slightly but also froze the smiles on Koshino, Guy, and the others' faces.
Gazing at the bloodied figure, aside from vaguely recognizing him as a middle-aged Konoha ninja, Koshino struggled to identify him due to the mangled face.
In contrast, Guy, Genma Shiranui, and Ebisu's eyes reddened at the sight of the bloodied figure.
Especially when Guy, Genma Shiranui, and Ebisu choked out the word "Captain," Koshino's eyes widened in disbelief, instinctively exclaiming, "Guy, Genma, Ebisu, is he our captain?"
"Yes, you're Koshino, right?"
With a face full of bruises and cuts, the mysterious Chunin captain forced a smile as he appeared before Koshino, stepping forward to pat Koshino on the shoulder.
As the mysterious captain left streaks of blood on Koshino's clothing, his difficult smile conveyed a single sentence that commanded Koshino's respect.
"Koshino, don't worry about the Uchiha and Hyuga clans causing you trouble. Your mistake..."
