Chapitre 95: The Role of Friends
Asuma forced his stiff and numb body to rise from the ground, kneeling with his head bowed and silent.
Hamasu hurried to Tetsuo to check his wound frantically, but it only made Tetsuo grit his teeth in pain.
"Aniki... We were careless. Without you, we couldn't even face these people..."
Tetsuo turned to Shintaro and blamed himself.
He didn't care about his wound, but he was still afraid of the fact that Hamasu was in danger now.
Hamasu's eyes reddened, "Sorry, Nii-san, if you hadn't saved me... You wouldn't have gotten hurt..."
"This small injury is nothing... Hisss..." said Tetsuo, inhaling cold air.
Although his injury wasn't fatal, there was still a risk of it worsening if not treated promptly.
Shintaro then said in a deep voice: "Alright, let's return to the camp for treatment. Tetsuo's injury is nothing."
[Reverse Cursed Technique] could only be used to heal himself. Otherwise, he would have healed them both.
Hamasu wiped his tears and nodded, supporting Tetsuo, while Tetsuo cursed: "Idiot, it's not like my leg is broken, do I need you to help me?"
Hamasu immediately pulled his hand away as if he had made a mistake.
Seeing this, Tetsuo realized that his tone was too harsh, and he was also very aware of his younger brother's thoughts, so he changed his tone and said patiently: "I'm not blaming you for my injury. I was afraid the Kumogakure Ninja's initial move was aimed at me."
Hamasu nodded silently and did not reply.
Tetsuo then hugged Hamasu's neck playfully, leaning on him and said, "Okay, okay, it's my fault now. I know you care about me."
Hamasu's face relaxed a little, and he raised his head and said seriously: "Nii-san, I won't let you get hurt for me again."
Tetsuo was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Oh, you've grown up."
Shintaro turned back to Asuma and said, "Let's go, Asuma, why are you still kneeling on the ground?"
Asuma stood up, looking a bit confused.
It was the first time he had fought a life-and-death battle with a ninja of equal rank from one of the five great ninja villages.
He realized his lack of strength in the previous fight and muttered: "I'm still too weak..."
Shintaro consoled: "After all, you also defeated two Chunin."
Asuma wanted to say more. Shintaro raised his hand to stop him.
"I've told you long ago, don't compare yourself to me."
Asuma sighed and said, "I'm not competing with you, it's just..."
Shintaro's blue eyes stared at him.
"Yes, even though you can't compare to me, there are many friends stronger than you."
He spoke a harsh truth.
Asuma's eyes trembled, feeling hurt by the truth he didn't want to acknowledge.
"But so what? Everyone must become stronger, including me. If I were strong enough back then, I could have saved the Inuzuka Gaku Forces and prevented them from dying on the shores of the Land of Frost."
"Even though I have become stronger, I still want to become stronger. And now I realize that not only do I need to become stronger, but my friends also need to become stronger. To change the Uchiha Clan and Konoha, I can't rely solely on my own strength."
"Asuma, Tetsuo, Hamasu, you are all friends that I acknowledge."
Shintaro's words made Asuma and the other two look at him one by one.
Shintaro knew that if he wanted to change the Uchiha Clan and Konoha, he couldn't do it alone.
Maybe with his current strength, which surpassed his previous life, he could kill all the Konoha higher-ups.
But then what? After that, Konoha would hate him and the Uchiha Clan.
His idea was to foster a group of strong and intelligent friends to change the fate of the Uchiha Clan and Konoha together.
And if the three people in front of him could be marked off Shintaro's list, it meant they were part of that group.
"Become stronger, at least... Don't fall too far behind me." He said sincerely.
Hearing this, Asuma's gaze changed from the previous confusion and bewilderment to determination.
Tetsuo changed his usual cunning and crafty attitude and rarely remained silent.
Meanwhile, Hamasu was moved and shouted: "Aniki! I definitely won't let you down..."
Shintaro smiled and said, "Actually, the atmosphere doesn't have to be too serious. I was just speaking a few words from the heart."
"Speaking of becoming stronger, everyone knows the importance of it, but sometimes it is limited by various reasons. But now you are on my team, I will take the responsibility as captain. If you need help, you can come to me."
His words fully showed the responsibility and attitude of a captain.
Asuma and the others also felt that Shintaro was no longer just a young genius; he had become an experienced ninja on the battlefield.
However, it seemed Shintaro had been this mature since he was a child.
Asuma, Tetsuo, and Hamasu nodded seriously.
The four then returned to the Konoha camp.
Hamasu sent Tetsuo to the medical ninja for treatment, while Shintaro and Asuma waited outside.
Shintaro took the initiative and said, "[Rasengan], how's your training?"
Hearing that, Asuma raised his hand and produced a [Rasengan] the size of a ball and said, "It's okay."
Shintaro glanced at the [Rasengan] in Asuma's hand with his Six Eyes and commented: "Its stability still needs improvement, but it's acceptable."
"Have you ever thought about injecting Wind Element Chakra into the [Rasengan]?"
"Wind Element?" Asuma was initially surprised, then suddenly realized: "Yes, [Rasengan] would definitely be very suitable for Wind Element. If the extreme chakra form change is combined with the chakra property change, then its power can definitely be enhanced."
"As expected of you, Shintaro, a very genius idea."
Shintaro smiled slightly and said: "It is indeed a genius idea, but it's not mine."
"This idea was proposed by Minato-sensei. He asked me to study the Wind Element Chakra change of [Rasengan] together."
"You happen to be the most talented Wind Element ninja I know. I think you can help."
Asuma accepted the recognition and said happily: "Don't worry, I will study it with full concentration."
Shintaro nodded slightly. At this moment, Tetsuo's injury had been treated, bandaged, and he was released.
He then said: "Today's mission is over, you can stay in the camp and recover."
After that, he left alone.
Upon reaching a secluded area, Shintaro activated his three-tomoe Sharingan.
He noticed that his Sharingan appeared slightly blue due to the fusion with the Six Eyes, and the basic functions of the Sharingan were also enhanced, which was very beneficial for ninjutsu development.
He produced a [Rasengan] in his hand.
In the previous battle, he tried to combine [Rasengan] and [Blue], but unfortunately failed.
He wanted to try it again alone. The [Rasengan] spun rapidly in his hand. He lifted the [Rasengan], then used that hand to release [Blue] simultaneously.
[Blue] intertwined with the blue color of the [Rasengan].
Shintaro adjusted the direction of the [Blue] pull from outside to inside, with the center right in the middle of the [Rasengan], and the pull range exactly at the radius of the [Rasengan].
In this way, the clear chakra of the [Rasengan] began to gather inside, and its color also changed from light to dark.
Until the [Rasengan], which was originally the size of a basketball, turned into a dark blue ball the size of an egg.
Shintaro lifted his hand and struck the dark blue [Rasengan] at the tree trunk.
BOOM
The tree trunk shattered into pieces, and the residual power of the dark blue [Rasengan] continued, destroying ten trees behind it as well.
Clearly, the chakra consumed did not change, but its power increased significantly due to compression.
Shintaro saw potential in this research direction.
"Sure enough, the development of Wind Element [Rasengan] is left to Asuma, so I can concentrate on researching the combination of [Limitless Technique] and [Rasengan]."
Shintaro once again found the role of friends.
