In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

Now things have gotten worse; Shikamaru has absolutely no information about this old man in his mind.

"Lord Tenyu, I don't remember when our village had such a large ninja."

"However, since it bears the insignia of Konoha, we should still lend a helping hand!"

As he spoke, Shikamaru began forming hand seals, preparing to rescue the old man.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Tengo raised his hand to stop Shikamaru.

"Wait a minute, things seem to be getting interesting. Don't you think we should still wait and see?"

Looking at the old man's fighting style, Tenyu suddenly became impressed by this veteran Konoha ninja.

How could he possibly forget this person?

Back when Konoha was destroyed, Naruto and his crew went on a mission, and there was this old man among them.

"But Lord Tengoku, these are Konoha ninjas, are we just going to stand by and watch them die?"

Although all the ninjas in Konoha trusted Tengo very much.

But let's not forget that the Konoha ninjas are always of one mind.

Seeing his own ninjas being hunted down, Shikamaru's usually calm mind was starting to waver.

"Heh, Shikamaru, it seems you've forgotten someone. But do you remember a ninja named Kosuke?"

Tengo leisurely found a spot and began watching Kosuke being chased by hundreds of ninjas.

Kosuke?

Shikamaru lowered his head and began searching for the name in his mind.

Having learned about the village's history since childhood, he quickly found the name in his mind.

Kosuke, a genin, is an extremely terrifying being.

Even when the Second Hokage was still alive, this guy had already become a ninja and was carrying out missions all over the place.

However, due to his own actions, he caused the death of his companion.

From now on, based on the decisions made by Tobirama Senju, he will forever remain a genin!

Then, while Hiruzen Sarutobi was still around, he was also appreciated by Hiruzen Sarutobi, who wanted to promote him to an elite Jonin.

However, because of his promise to Tobirama Senju, he refused Hiruzen Sarutobi's decision.

This might also mean that Kosuke is very lucky.

After all, if Kosuke really became a Jonin, given Hiruzen Sarutobi's personality, it's safe to say that Kosuke wouldn't have appeared alive in front of Tengo.

Chapter 398 Kosuke's Terrifying Strength

After the era ruled by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Kosuke also ushered in the youngest Hokage, the era of Minato Namikaze's rule.

Kosuke also participated in the battle alongside the Fourth Hokage.

It was because of this mission that Kosuke lost the ability to move his left leg and became completely crippled.

However, this does not affect Kosuke's combat ability in any way.

After all, Kosuke is a genin who has been around for thousands of years and has already carried out missions with any legendary ninja.

Not only that, it also experienced the reign of four Hokage.

If Kosuke hadn't seen through Hiruzen Sarutobi's plot and disappeared from Konoha, he wouldn't have been able to escape.

Perhaps the legend of Kosuke wouldn't have been so easily interrupted.

Kosuke also witnessed the ninjas he had watched grow up leaving this world one by one.

For example, Kakashi Hatake's father, White Fang, and Kurenai Yuhi's father.

These are all children that Kosuke has watched grow up.

After being falsely accused, these men died on the battlefield.

And the mastermind behind all this, Kosuke, is, after all, a seasoned veteran who has lived for so many years.

He could only show his childlike side in front of Tobirama Senju.

Therefore, he knows the ins and outs of these things better than anyone else.

To preserve the last vestige of purity in Konoha in his heart, Koga unknowingly left the village.

Even when traveling in the martial arts world, Kosuke still has a catchphrase.

"In Konoha, there is not a single ninja who abandons his subordinates after using them!"

This statement may have been directed at Hiruzen Sarutobi, or it may have been a recounting of the cause of Sakumo Hatake's death.

We can only learn about these things from Kosuke.

"Lord Ten'yu, since you mentioned Kosuke's name, could it be that the one fighting is...?"

Tenno did not answer Shikamaru's question.

However, Shikamaru now has the answer in his heart; it seems that the old man fighting really is that legend.

Kosuke's strength is already well-documented in historical records.

Not only can he use Hiruzen Sarutobi's shuriken shadow clone technique.

He also knows Tobirama Senju's signature techniques, including various water-style techniques.

They even have some knowledge of Konoha's genjutsu, and their swordsmanship is terrifying.

It can be said that this guy is a ninja whose strength is second only to the Hokage.

However, because he refused Hiruzen Sarutobi's request, Hiruzen would occasionally assign him missions while he was still alive.

The mission content was basically just the trivial tasks that a genin should do.

High-level ninjas generally don't want to do these kinds of tasks.

After all, these are all very troublesome tasks.

Kosuke, however, did not complain at all and completed these tasks perfectly during this period.

Just as Shikamaru was recalling the rumors about Kosuke, Kosuke's battle was almost over.

Kosuke looked at the group of dozens of Chunin standing in the distance.

With a slight sway of the short sword in his hand, countless figures of Kosuke instantly appeared in the eyes of the enemy.

This is a very famous genjutsu among the common people of Konoha: Konoha Willow Leaf!

The next moment, all the Iwagakure ninjas who were standing still lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.

All the corpses had a very obvious mark on their necks.

However, there was no blood on the surface.

It's as if these people are just tired and want to lie down and sleep!

"How terrifying! Could this be Kosuke-senpai's true strength?"

At this moment, Shikamaru couldn't help but swallow hard, looking at the corpse lying on the ground.

He hadn't even seen what happened before all the ninjas fell to the ground.

"You mean this? If you want to learn, I can teach you, but Kosuke's swordsmanship is terrifying!"

Tianyu couldn't help but sigh.

After all, Tianyu's battles have always been characterized by their extravagant and dazzling style.

Neji experienced the joy of battle with this clean, efficient, and elegant fighting style!

Kosuke didn't win because the Iwagakure ninjas had no intention of giving him any chance of survival.

Just as Kosuke continued to flee, another net made up of ninjas appeared in the air.

All the ninjas threw kunai at the same time, intending to kill this annoying old man on the spot.

Who knew that the pot on Kosuke's back would actually save his life!

All the kunai were blocked by the giant pot behind Kosuke, and Kosuke was not injured!

Despite this, Kosuke still lost his balance in the air and fell into the river.

Just then, a woman with emerald green hair, except for two pale yellow strands of bangs in the front, squatted on a tree.

This is a ninja who looks very similar to the hero Pakura.

He was just an unknown Jonin from Iwagakure!

If Neji, who was standing nearby, heard what Tengo was thinking, I wonder what his reaction would be.

At the age of thirteen, their greatest aspiration is probably to become a powerful Jonin of Konoha.

Who would have thought that a Jonin, especially one from the Iwagakure Anbu, would be so ordinary in Tenyu's eyes!

"Shikamaru, do you want to make a bet with me on who will win this battle?"

Tengo felt things were getting a bit boring, so he looked at Neji with great interest.

Since I don't have anything else to do right now, I might as well have some fun with this kid, Shikamaru.

He was also getting curious about the Shikamaru family's ninjutsu system.

Although the ninjutsu of the Shikamaru clan greatly restricts their ability to move.

But isn't the ultimate reason for all of this because only Shikamaru can control the shadows?

At this moment, Tenyu came up with a whimsical decision: to teach the scout rats ninjutsu!

After all, he possessed a reconnaissance network of the caliber of a scout mouse.

If every scout mouse can learn to control its shadow, then Tianyu's scout mice will become a terrifying assassination team!

"Lord Tianyu, aren't you humiliating me? How could I possibly make a bet with you?"

"If you win, I'll practice with you for a month!"
