Chapter 167 Two-faced Kyosuke
"Asuma, calm down! They're targeting you!"
From Shisui's perspective, Kyosuke sincerely persuades Asuma, and the deep concern in his words moves Asuma.
However, Asuma seemed too stubborn to listen to advice, ignoring Kyosuke and disregarding his concern.
"I told you, I'm different now, don't underestimate me!"
Asuma, with his bratty temper, couldn't possibly tolerate being repeatedly provoked and teased. He turned around and walked past Kyosuke with a cold face.
"Asma."
Kyosuke reached out and placed his hand on Asuma's shoulder, seemingly making a final effort, but Asuma struggled to break free.
That's about enough acting; any more and it'll just sound pretentious.
Kyosuke withdrew his hand, sighed helplessly, and said to Shisui beside him, "Asuma is hopeless. Shisui, let's be careful. I have a feeling someone is targeting us. If anything unexpected happens, we'll step in to help Asuma."
Shisui activated his Sharingan and nodded solemnly: "Yes. Captain, you have done very well. Please don't blame yourself."
Is this the Sharingan?
I don't know what abilities they have.
The appearance of the Sharingan immediately attracted attention.
"Thank you for your hard work, Zhishui."
Shisui was young, and maintaining the Sharingan for so long must have been quite stressful, so Kyosuke expressed his gratitude and then looked at the field, muttering something under his breath.
"I hope my guess is wrong, and that Asuma will be alright."
Oh my, you've really gotten into acting!
Kyosuke's performance was watched by Mimori the whole time, and he couldn't have been more disgusted by it.
It was you who dug this huge pit for Asuma, and now you're pretending to be a good person!
Are all the guys from the Mixed Ninja Village this cunning? No wonder I, an honest person who only knows how to fight and kill, am always being bossed around.
At this moment, Asuma stood in front of Mikami, with an arrogant expression.
"Don't think I can't see through you. You just want to use me to establish your authority. Hmph, what a foolish idea. Today I'll show you that all schemes and tricks are useless in the face of strength!"
Hearing Asuma's self-righteous words, Mikami rolled his eyes.
You think I'm doing this to establish my authority, or for the selection process?
Actually, I did it to curry favor with Da Ming.
Do you think I'm trying to curry favor with your name?
Actually, I was after the daimyo's chakra metal!
You think you're in the atmosphere, but you're actually in the underground.
They were sold out by us and still cooperated with our performance; how pathetic and pitiful.
"Three moves."
Mi Shou spoke softly, raising his right hand and holding up three fingers.
Asuma frowned: "What?"
"As a sign of respect for the Hokage, I'll give you three moves, so you won't lose too badly without even having a chance to fight back."
With a calm tone and a matter-of-fact manner, Mi Shou spoke as if he were saying "one plus one equals two," uttering the most arrogant and rude words.
This infuriated Asuma, and the others also felt that Mikami was too arrogant and ignorant of his own limitations, and they all became hostile towards him.
Of course, Mori and Kyosuke are exceptions.
Mao Likun believes that Mi Shou's aloofness is not a flaw, but rather a strength.
As a tool, you should just be obedient and do your job. It's not good to be thinking about building connections all the time.
If they have a grudge against the people of Konoha, that would be even better.
Kyosuke, on the other hand, simply felt it was a pity, believing it was a problem with his character design, as he basically never had the chance to say such cool things.
Instead, Kyosuke loudly warned Asuma, "Be careful, he's deliberately trying to provoke you, don't fall for it."
Of course, Kyosuke's reminder only added fuel to the fire; it would have been better not to remind him at all.
Asuma, still a bratty kid, sees the concern from others, especially Kyosuke, as a form of disrespect. The more Kyosuke cares, the angrier he gets, feeling like he has something stuck in his chest and wants to vent.
Faced with the combined attack of Yamori and Kyosuke, Asuma thought he was still rational, but in fact he had long since lost his normal judgment.
Just like a drunk person who thinks they are not drunk, but in the eyes of others they are no longer human.
Asuma took out the carefully prepared chakra blade, slipped his fingers into the hole in the hilt, and felt the cold, hard blade. He sneered inwardly, deciding to give the guy opposite him a hard slap, and to give him and Kyosuke a good slap in the face.
That's right, in Asuma's opinion, Kyosuke is just as despicable as the other party!
"Battle begins."
After the ninja who was also acting as a referee on the sidelines spoke, Asuma charged forward, heading straight for Mikami.
"The speed is good, but rushing in so recklessly is too irrational."
Many people shook their heads at Asuma's actions, somewhat disappointed with his performance.
However, a few people looked at Mimori, who stood motionless, with amused expressions.
He told Ma Xin, "As expected of the Hokage's son, his strength and tactics are quite good. I hope Abe Moriichi won't let me down."
With the keen observation of his Sharingan, Shisui also noticed Asuma's actions, which made him feel a little relieved.
Asuma seems to be quite strong; this battle should be safe.
The captain doesn't need to worry anymore.
The ninja was incredibly fast. Amidst the various thoughts of the onlookers, Asuma had already reached Mikami, throwing a punch forward. The sharp blade on his fist sliced through the air, aiming directly at Mikami's chest.
"Take this! Take this now, you bastard!"
Asuma was extremely anxious, hoping that Mikami could withstand his attack.
Although she tried her best to maintain a calm expression, the hint of anxiety in her eyes was as conspicuous as a shooting star in the night.
Yes, Asuma has improved in facial expression management over the years, but not much.
Kyosuke mentally commented on it, his mindset like watching anime, all that was missing was a table full of sunflower seeds and dried fruit.
"childish."
Mikami chuckled lightly, not bothering to block Asuma's blade, but instead bent down and braced himself with his hands on the ground, using Earth Release.
Abe Moriichi was skilled in earth-escape techniques and taijutsu, a fact that Mimori always kept in mind.
Rumble, rumble, rumble.
The ground shook violently, and many twisted cracks appeared.
At the same time, sharp stone pillars shot out one after another. Asma was unable to dodge in time and was hit by one of the stone pillars, turning into a puff of smoke.
"The first move."
Mi Shou stopped his attack, looked at the ground, and spoke calmly.
A few meters away, Asuma jumped up from the ground in a disheveled state. His clothes were torn in many places, and his exposed skin was bloody. He had obviously been injured in the earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic technique).
"Don't worry, Captain, Asuma's injury isn't serious."
Seeing this, Shisui, fearing that Kyosuke would worry about Asuma, took the initiative to comfort Kyosuke.
I'm not worried at all; Mikami won't kill him anyway.
Kyosuke, one of the culprits, nodded with a solemn expression, seemingly unreassured by Shisui's words.
"This Abe Moriichi was able to discover Asuma's tactics so early, and he used Earth Release so quickly. He's not an easy guy to deal with."
Upon hearing Kyosuke's words, Shisui stared at Yasuke with his Sharingan, but could not see through the face beneath the mask.
"Captain, in the fight just now, the opponent's muscle movements were very coordinated and smooth, without any stiffness or abruptness. It was clear that they were prepared in advance, and the opponent must have excellent observation skills."
Of course, the Sharingan with three tomoe has excellent observational skills, and I can attest to that.
Kyosuke inwardly complained, but outwardly instructed Shisui: "Put Abe Moriichi on the list of people to watch closely. I think he has a secret."
"Yes."
