Konoha's Destiny Twins

Shisui was stunned.

After a while, he slowly released his hand from Kodachi...

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhisui suddenly noticed that there were some sweat stains on the handle of his knife.

The shadow of death brought to him by the four people before was really profound...if it weren't for his teleportation technique and his extremely outstanding speed...

However, such an elite team could only last for two short breaths in front of Senior April.

Really...too strong.

Is this a Jonin?

But this was completely different from the Jonin he had come into contact with in previous battles!

It turns out that the gap between jounin can be so different.

This is "Shunshen Clear Water"!

"I didn't expect that such a team would have two jounin." Qing Shui was also a little surprised.

If the enemy is a Jonin, it will be a little tricky to rely solely on teleportation techniques and ordinary swordsmanship.

The Jonin's reaction speed and even counterattack methods can sometimes even cause attackers who get too close to pay a heavy price.

"Ah... the Sunagakure jounin who led the team was very strong." Shisui subconsciously glanced at his somewhat damaged triangular leather armor, and there was a shallow mark there.

That was the fatal attack of the Wind Blade... only a finger away from his heart...

Looking back now, Shisui is still frightened by his attack.

It's just... why does Orochimaru-sama's smile seem a bit... strange?

"Orochimaru, why are you smiling?" Qingshui frowned. Orochimaru's smile often meant that something interested him.

And the things that interest Orochimaru often cannot escape the fate of being "researched"...

"Haha... I just thought it was time." Orochimaru licked his lips and said slowly in his unique magnetic voice, "Yuki-kun has indeed recovered."

That is a body with the characteristics of the Uzumaki clan, which can restore chakra at a high speed... and it is also the key to his Wood Release experiment!

And the First Hokage's Wood Release... was something he had been thinking about for many years.

"Haha." Qing Shui pretended not to understand what Orochimaru said.

Especially now in front of Shisui, it would be wiser not to say anything than to say less.

So he immediately changed the topic and said: "It's a pity that Shikaku found it too late."

Shimizu was referring to the reason why Nara Shikaku discovered all this, and Sunagakure’s true method.

"Why did Yuzuki-kun say this?" Orochimaru also cooperated and wisely did not mention the topic just mentioned.

Shisui was left alone in confusion - the jumping nature of this topic...

"If Sunagakure's methods were discovered in advance, Platycodon City... would just give up."

Qingshui's idea was simple. Instead of being defeated and annihilated, it would be better to retain the vitality and abandon Platycodon City so that the tens of thousands of Konoha ninjas could be preserved.

After all, people cannot be resurrected after death, and important military forces are still there, so there is a possibility of saving everything!

Where there is life, there is hope.

"Yiyuki-kun, did Platycodon City give up just as it was said to give up?" Orochimaru sneered.

"What do you mean?"

"Platycodon Castle is an important military fortress in Konoha, with countless supplies inside. The strategic significance of this place is even greater..."

"Moreover, even the Kikyo Castle, which was defended so painstakingly, is lost. How will Konoha's morale be boosted next?"

"No matter what kind of loss, no commander today can afford it, even if this person is Tsunade from the Senju Clan of the Forest!"

"The higher-ups in Konoha will never allow this to happen."

Qing Shui was silent.

I'm afraid what Orochimaru said is the truth of the matter. In war, the least valuable thing is human life.

In the eyes of politicians, those ninjas who sacrificed their lives for Konoha may be just a number...

"Haha... April-Jun, you can't be a qualified politician like this."

"Maybe." Qing Shui didn't object.

By the way, Minato also said that he is suitable to be a politician...

What about Orochimaru and Minato?

Who made the mistake?

The three of them then headed towards the place where there was fire, clearing out any enemies that entered the city along the way.

At the same time, he also had the idea that he might be able to save the surviving companions, and gradually united with the effective forces of Konoha...

However...more than 10,000 enemies have broken through Konoha's front, and Konoha's side may have suffered more than 2,000 casualties...

Do they still have a chance to defend Platycodon City? Is a counterattack even possible?

"Senior April, may I ask a question?" Zhishui suddenly asked.

"explain."

"Senior, why are you drawing your sword so fast? Zhisui asked Qingshui a question that no one has ever asked before.

Many people have asked Shisui why the instantaneous technique is so fast, but Shisui was the first person to notice the speed of his sword.

"Practice."

"...But I've been practicing for a long time." Shisui looked back slightly and glanced at Kodachi, who had been following him for several years, and said in confusion.

"How old are you?" Qing Shui said matter-of-factly, and then he felt that his answer seemed a bit perfunctory, so he added, "In a few years... maybe three to five years, you will be as fast as me. "

In the original work, "Shunshen Shisui" is famous and famous in Kirigakure, and even the Eight-Tailed Kirabi who is far away in the depths of Kumogakure has heard of it. To be able to reach such a height, he must have absolute strength.

Although he himself does not have any glorious achievements worthy of praise or talk about, it does not affect Qingshui's high opinion of him.

The existence of the genius template is unmistakable.

It's different from the civilian template like him.

"But I feel that even if I continue to practice like this... it is unlikely that I will become a master like you, Senior April..." Shisui paused, and then affirmed, "No! It's impossible!"

"Oh? Why?" Although Qing Shui just said what he said before, he also had some confidence in Zhisui. Now the other party firmly believes that he will definitely not be able to catch up with him...

Then he was a little curious, why did he say that?

"I have seen many sword masters in the clan... No one is as fast as my senior." Shisui closed his eyes and recalled carefully, "Not even the leader of the Fugaku clan."

"You want to learn?"

"Yes!" Zhisui mustered up great courage and said, "If possible, please ask Senior April to be my teacher!"

"..." Qing Shui didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Refuse again? Or drag?

"Yuyue-kun might as well consider it." Orochimaru said beside him, "Sometimes students can indeed learn a lot from teachers, but in my opinion, Yuzuki-kun still has a lot of room for improvement, or it is obvious that shortcomings."

"Sometimes, teachers can also learn something from their students." Orochimaru said confidently.

What is Orochimaru hinting at?

Shortcoming? Does it mean he doesn't know any illusions?

Or the Sharingan?

Before I knew it, it was already dawn.

The morning sun rises slowly in the distance...

The cycle of a new day begins again.

Is this blazing sun foreshadowing something?

"After this battle is over, if you can survive." Qing Shui finally relaxed.

"Yes, thank you, teacher!" Zhisui said excitedly.

"I haven't promised you yet... There are conditions!" Qingshui had to correct Shisui's title.

"I know, teacher!"

Why can't you even figure out the logical sequence of things?

It's hopeless, this kid...
