Capítulo 59: That Was a Jonin?

"Shadow clones? Not just regular clones?"

"This is bad!"

His spirits sank when Suigetsu Juzo saw Koshino use the Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu.

As a Mist Jonin who fought in the Third Great Ninja War, Suigetsu Juzo knew the power of shadow clones. When he saw multiple Koshino clones appear, his first thought was that this Leaf Anbu intended to wipe out his team. Why else would he expend so much chakra to create shadow clones for battle?

And Suigetsu Juzo's assumption was entirely correct. Koshino didn't hesitate to use the Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu to annihilate the Mist ninja squad before him, even while contending with a Jonin.

When Koshino identified the squad as Mist ninjas, knowing Konoha conflicted with them, he harbored grim intentions. Since Koshino was on a mission to break through enemy lines, letting any Mist ninja escape would make future escape attempts even more difficult. Therefore, Koshino didn't hold back, using his chakra to create six shadow clones surrounding the Mist ninjas.

Seeing Suigetsu Juzo rush to save his subordinates, Koshino smirked coldly.

"You're distracted while fighting me?"

"Even if you're a Jonin, who can you save?"

With a dark laugh, Koshino disappeared into the forest's shadows again. Meanwhile, Suigetsu Juzo found himself in deep trouble.

"Shadow Sewing Jutsu!"

"Swish!"

Just as Suigetsu Juzo reached the first Koshino clone, the clone formed hand seals, using all its chakra to cast the Shadow Sewing Jutsu. The shadow shot forward, piercing through a Mist Genin. The Genin, already struggling against another clone, had no chance to defend against this new attack. The shadow skewered the Genin, causing him to fall lifelessly to the ground. Although Suigetsu Juzo destroyed the clone using the Shadow Sewing Jutsu, he couldn't save his subordinate.

Koshino's technique killed the second Mist Genin.

"Damn you, Leaf Anbu! Making me lose two subordinates!"

"Die!"

"Water Style: Wild Water Wave!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Suigetsu Juzo couldn't remain passive. As the second Genin fell, he formed hand seals, quickly casting a C-rank Water Style jutsu.

"Whoosh!"

Despite lacking a water source, Suigetsu Juzo used his chakra to gather moisture from the air, completing the Water Style jutsu. A wave of water surged toward Koshino's clones. The remaining Mist ninjas instinctively tried to jump away to avoid the jutsu's impact. 

But in the next moment, something horrifying happened. Just as the Mist ninjas leaped to escape, Koshino's clones extended their shadows, binding the Mist ninjas in place, making escape impossible.

Suigetsu Juzo was stunned. Seeing his subordinates trapped and threatened by his Water Style jutsu, he bit his lip hard, tasting blood, and cursed under his breath.

"Dammit, it's a Nara clan member from the Leaf!"

"Shadow Imitation Technique, truly formidable!"

"Ugh!"

While speaking, Suigetsu Juzo forcibly canceled his Water Style jutsu, suffering backlash that caused him to cough up blood. He thought he had a chance to save his subordinates. But Koshino didn't give him any time. As his clones used the Shadow Imitation Technique to bind the remaining Mist ninjas, Koshino changed his hand seals and murmured.

"Shadow Strangling Jutsu!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

The shadows climbed up the bound Mist ninjas, reaching their necks and snapping them. In seconds, all of Suigetsu Juzo's subordinates were dead, their necks broken by Koshino's Shadow Strangling Jutsu.

Suigetsu Juzo was left alone, his heart filled with grief. The backlash from canceling his jutsu wasn't simple. He had risked internal injury to save his subordinates, and now, seeing them all dead at Koshino's hands, his pain was immense.

As Koshino emerged from the shadows, Suigetsu Juzo took a deep breath, finally recognizing the threat posed by this young Anbu. Yet, Koshino's voice cut through the tension just as he was about to speak.

"Mist ninja, didn't you notice my shadow is gone?"

"What?"

Before Suigetsu Juzo could react, Koshino coldly ordered:

"Iwashi! Kurenai!"

"Such a perfect opportunity, do I need to remind you?"

"Yes, Captain!"

Watching Koshino from the forest, Iwashi Itagaki and Kurenai Yuhi were astonished by his power. Six Mist ninjas, including a Jonin, had fallen without a fight. Kurenai began to think of Koshino as a prodigy, wondering how someone so young could possess such strength.

As Koshino gave the order, with Suigetsu Juzo immobilized by the lack of shadows, Iwashi and Kurenai appeared, kunai in hand. They swiftly stabbed Suigetsu Juzo in the throat and heart. Even as Jonin's life ebbed away, Iwashi and Kurenai felt like they were dreaming.

Could it be? Was the man they had just killed a Jonin from the Mist?

When did Mist Jonin become so easy to kill?

Capítulo 60: A Multiple-Choice Question

"Was that really a Mist Jonin?"

"I actually killed a Mist Jonin with my own hands? Is this a dream?"

With the death of the Mist Jonin Suigetsu Juzo, Kurenai Yuhi and Iwashi Tatami felt as if they were living in a dream, unable to snap back to reality for a long time.

Meanwhile, Koshino stared at the corpses of the Mist ninjas around him, lost in thought. Because he had been stationed with the Konoha medical team for so long, it was only after this first encounter with the Mist ninjas that Koshino realized Konoha's current enemy was the Hidden Mist Village.

Understanding this and knowing the original storyline, Koshino finally grasped the source of his ominous feelings.

"So that's why I've been feeling uneasy all this time. The ominous premonition was actually related to someone close to me!"

"Kakashi, you probably don't realize yet what this battle means for you, do you?"

"This battle we are facing doesn't just signify losing a comrade. It represents the catalyst for the one who will threaten our teacher's life to truly 'turn dark.'"

Koshino chuckled bitterly. Thankfully, his face was hidden behind the Anbu mask, so Kurenai and Iwashi couldn't see his wry smile. Otherwise, they might have thought Koshino was dissatisfied with their performance.

Of course, Koshino's bitter smile wasn't because of Kurenai or Iwashi. It was because of Kakashi and their teacher, the Fourth Hokage.

Other people might need to learn the impact this battle between Konoha and the Hidden Mist could have in the future. But Koshino, a time traveler familiar with the original story, was well aware.

He understood the situation and knew the nature of Kakashi's secret mission.

Among all the battles in the Third Great Ninja War, besides the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, where Kakashi obtained the Sharingan, the fight between Konoha and the Hidden Mist stood out most vividly in Koshino's mind.

In truth, the war between Konoha and the Hidden Mist was driven by Madara Uchiha, the hidden mastermind's machinations.

Months ago, Koshino had gleaned information from Shikaku and Choza, learning that the Fourth Hokage had sent Rin Nohara to infiltrate the Hidden Mist Village, intending for her to become the Jinchuriki of the Three-Tails, Isobu. This move was meant to weaken the Hidden Mist Village's power and hinder its support in the Third Great Ninja War.

However, how could the Fourth Hokage know that sending Rin was a significant mistake?

In the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, Obito Uchiha, thought dead, had become Madara's pawn. When Madara deemed the time proper, he used his influence within the Hidden Mist Village, controlling the Mizukage and ordering a two-pronged attack: one force to engage Konoha's main troops and the other to transport Rin, as the Three-Tails' Jinchuriki, to Konoha, intending to unleash the Three-Tails to weaken Konoha.

From the original storyline, Koshino knew that Madara's plan was both a failure and a success.

During his secret mission, Kakashi succeeded in 'killing' Rin, the Jinchuriki of the Three-Tails. However, the sight of Kakashi killing Rin drove Obito to madness, turning him into the masked man who would take Madara's place as the hidden antagonist.

By securing a successor, Madara's plan wasn't a complete failure.

On the other hand, despite Konoha's victory over the Hidden Mist, the village was left vulnerable to future conflicts, such as the Nine-Tails' attack and the eventual death of the Fourth Hokage.

"What if—just a hypothetical—what if I save Rin from Kakashi? Would that prevent Obito from 'turning dark'? After all, being a Hokage was his dream."

"If Obito doesn't turn dark, then there might be no risk to Minato-sensei's life. From the original story, Madara should be at his limit now, right? With Obito not turning dark, even finding and dealing with an aged Madara should be feasible."

"Yes! Once this mission is complete, I need to discuss this possibility with Minato-sensei."

"But before that, I need to deal with you first!"

As Koshino looked at the still-stunned Kurenai and Iwashi, he shook his head in disappointment. They might become great ninja, but they are still too green.

Had Koshino not intervened and used the Nara clan's secret techniques, especially the Shadow Clone Jutsu's unique effects, Kurenai and Iwashi would have been outmatched and likely killed by the Mist Jonin.

Moreover, their earlier performance needed to be improved, and their current state required to be revised to Koshino. He walked over to them, saw they were still dazed, and coughed softly. Startled, they met his icy gaze, feeling a chill run down their spines.

"Are you two really ninja? Do you lack the resolve to carry out missions? Iwashi, I won't even mention Kurenai. You were once Anbu, yet you don't know how to handle corpses?"

"Ah! Sorry, Koshino! I'll handle it right away!"

Iwashi, embarrassed, scratched his head and hurried to deal with the Mist ninja corpses.

When Koshino turned his gaze to Kurenai, her pale cheeks flushed red, and she quickly apologized. "Sorry, Koshino. We were careless."

"You were more than careless. Be more mindful next time."

"Yes, Captain!"

With a brief reprimand, Koshino believed that this experience would leave a lasting impression on Kurenai, who would eventually become a Jonin. As Kurenai and Iwashi went to handle the corpses, Koshino, still maintaining his Shadow Clone Jutsu, sat beside Suigetsu Juzo's body. Staring at the lifeless Jonin, he smirked coldly.

"Does the Mist Village teach a class on playing dead? All you Mist ninja seem to be very good at it. No wonder you can never beat Konoha."

"If you had truly died earlier, I wouldn't have to face such a difficult choice now."

As Koshino spoke, Suigetsu Juzo, who had appeared dead, slowly opened his eyes, which had turned white.

However, his sudden resurrection only startled Kurenai and Iwashi momentarily.

What truly shocked them was when Koshino, in that brief moment, snatched a strange weapon from Suigetsu Juzo's body—a gun bearing the Leaf Village's emblem!
