Chapter 452: Genji's Death
Aoba's words were like a bomb that exploded in Genji's head. His face which was originally brimming with confidence was now filled with intense shock and disbelief. He felt that such a thing had completely overturned all of his knowledge during this period of time and had greatly impacted his confidence.
"How... how is this possible?!"
Genji's body instinctively shook slightly and he involuntarily took a step back. The gaze he looked at Aoba had already become a lot more blurry.
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
How could such a thing happen now?
When he was practicing ninjutsu from the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu, there were indeed some obstacles. But with his efforts, he was able to forcibly practice them.
The efficiency of casting water-release ninjutsu was indeed much higher.
Fake!
It was definitely fake!
The purpose of this was to distract him!
This was cheating him!
After a period of consideration, Genji immediately felt that this was what the situation was right now. There was no reason for any other problems to occur.
Thinking of this.
Genji felt a little better in his heart, and his worries were not so heavy.
...
Except for Genji.
The other ninjas at the scene had the same concerns, but they were more confused.
Could it be...
Genji-sama was really practicing the wrong Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu?!
Didn't Genji-sama know about this?
Huge question marks appeared on everyone's head. They looked at the two of them. They were either looking at Genji or Aoba, who was using The Third Raikage's appearance.
"Raikage, don't think that you can shake my heart with this method. What right do you have to say that the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu we got is fake? You haven't seen it!" Genji scolded loudly. His heart had already started to become chaotic. He was just trying his best to keep himself calm on the surface. However, his quietly raised tone betrayed his heart.
"I made it very clear just now..."
Aoba shook his head. After seeing Genji's appearance, he already understood that this person was starting to panic. It was just that this person refused to admit it until he saw the coffin.
"I gave you the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu you got."
"After I got the scroll, I reversed the content of the scroll."
"In other words..."
"The Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu you practice was wrong!"
Aoba was sure that no one had seen the scroll except Genji. After all, Genji also needed to consolidate his position in the Country of Water, and improving Kirigakure's strength was not something that could be done in a short period of time.
It was like Konohagakure had obtained a ninjutsu scroll of some sort, but it won't be popularized immediately so that everyone ninja can learn it.
Therefore.
Even if it was clearly stated that Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu's content was faked.
It did not matter.
Right now, no one would be able to get the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu and then reverse the content.
Of course.
Even if there was such a person.
He did not dare to practice it.
Who knew if what Aoba said was true or false?!
Before these people could question his words again, Aoba immediately followed up.
"I will give you an example to make you give up."
As Aoba spoke, he raised his hands and made a move that shocked the Kirigakure ninjas present.
Forming a hand seal!
That's right, it was forming a hand seal!
For a ninja, forming a hand seal was a very normal action!
Every ninja had to do it countless times!
However.
This kind of action appeared on the Third Raikage's body, but it was not so normal.
After all.
Ninjas in the ninja world all knew.
After hearing Aoba's words, the Third Mizukage's eyelids twitched slightly. He could no longer maintain his usual calmness and composure.
"You said that Genji is dead?"
"Quick!"
"Go and see what is going on!"
The Third Mizukage was no longer so calm. He immediately ordered a Kirigakure ninja to check on Genji.
"Yes!"
After hearing the Third Mizukage's order, the ninja was shocked.
So he immediately ran toward Genji's body.
This kind of action.
It had already affected the hearts of the Kirigakure ninjas.
All of a sudden.
Everyone's eyes focused on one place.
Their faces were filled with worry.
"De... Dead..."
The ninja, who was inspecting Genji's body, raise his trembling fingers from Genji's neck and his voice also trembled as he said that.
As a ninja born in Kirigakure.
He was especially clear about Genji's status in the Country of Water.
He also understood what Genji's death meant.
This was no longer a simple matter.
It was a major event in the Country of Water!
"Hiss..."
Every Kirigakure ninja gasped and their hearts were heavy.
"Genji-sama is dead..."
"How could Genji-sama die so easily?"
"It must be the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu!"
"That's right, it's the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu!"
"Raikage, you're too much!"
"..."
Angry voices sounded out from the crowd.
These people all looked toward Aoba.
Everyone's eyes turned red.
What happened here had already caused them to attribute all of their hatred to Aoba.
To be precise...
It was the Third Raikage.
"Now you understand!"
Aoba struck while the iron was hot and immediately began to sprinkle salt on the wounds of these Kirigakure ninjas. He had been here for so long, how could he give up such a good opportunity?
"This is the result of you fighting against us!"
"I knew that you were eager to have the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu because you wanted to go against our Kumogakure!"
"So I made this plan!"
"Sure enough!"
"You Kirigakure, after getting the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu, immediately attack our Kumogakure!"
"Do you really think your wings are hard?"
"I will tell you now!"
"As long as I want to..."
"I can kill you at any time!"
When Aoba finished speaking, his body emitted a wave of killing intent. Of course, he was only saying this. He would not personally do this.
Otherwise, everything would be meaningless.
He still needed these ninjas to attack Kumogakure!
In this way.
The situation in the ninja world would become even more chaotic!
