Chapter 171 What a terrible teammate!
"Rescue!"
Upon seeing Yamori's actions, Kyosuke immediately rushed into the battlefield, with Shisui following closely behind!
Asuma was in a very bad state. Not to mention that in the battle just now, he had used up too much chakra and stamina due to his all-out attack in anger, and his strength had decreased considerably.
These rocks, large and small, were so densely packed that they seemed endless. Although Asuma's blade was sharp enough to easily shatter the rocks, there were simply too many of them, and he was struggling to keep up.
He knew that his opponent would definitely take the opportunity to attack, but he simply couldn't spare the chance.
Even if you get seriously injured by the falling rocks, you'll still be hurt. Asuma focused intently on dealing with them, not daring to make the slightest mistake.
Seeing that the situation was very favorable, Mikami, of course, did not hold back. He and his shadow clone rushed to Asuma, each holding a kunai. One of them stabbed Asuma in the neck, and the other stabbed Asuma in the heart.
Asuma had just shattered a millstone-sized rock when he saw Mikami. He was shocked and tried to retract his twin swords in front of him to defend himself, but before he could make a move, one kunai pierced his chest, and the other kunai was only a hand's width away from his neck.
In an instant, the aura of death enveloped his entire body, and time seemed to stand still. Asuma felt as if his heart had stopped beating.
Am I going to die?
Asma never expected that at this moment, what he would think of was the old man's expression, a mixture of disappointment and anger.
It turned out that the old man's hair had turned white, and his body had become much more hunched; he was no longer as tall as me.
At that moment, Asma felt as if the fog before his eyes had been wiped away, and he could see details he had previously overlooked.
Mikami was also a little puzzled. Asuma had been fighting so aggressively just now, but now that he was in danger, why was he not reacting?
If you were to struggle or dodge, I would spare your life or at least inflict serious injury.
You're staring blankly now, looking like you're waiting to die. My kunai is almost piercing your muscles; a few more points and it will hit your heart, at which point you'll surely die.
But we can't stop now, there are so many eyes watching.
I was so arrogant just now, talking about killing people all the time. If I give up the life I have in my hands now, it will ruin my image.
To be fair, Mikami was born in Kirigakure and had been a rogue ninja for so long. His environment changed his personality, and his character already contained a cruel streak. He could still speak nicely to his own people, but he preferred to deal with outsiders physically.
Asuma and Mikami had no connection, so Mikami thought it was fine to kill him. Asuma's death wouldn't affect the plan much anyway; at most, it would cause some trouble for Kyosuke when he returned to Konoha.
Hmph, they're always playing dirty tricks, but nothing ever goes right. In the end, I'm the one who has to solve their problems. What a bunch of damn incompetent teammates!
His mind raced, and Mi Shou's gaze turned icy cold. He tightened his arm and continued to penetrate deeper without stopping, already feeling a slight resistance as he touched the bone.
"stop!"
At that moment, Kyosuke arrived, shouted anxiously, and kicked Mikami hard in the chin, sending Mikami flying.
Kyosuke was genuinely worried. He hadn't expected Asuma to be so fragile. He'd only been beaten down by reality, yet he was already disheartened and would just stand there waiting to die when faced with mortal danger.
This Mi Shou is really something else; he has no ability to adapt to changing circumstances and is quick to kill people.
You've been fighting for so long, it's perfectly normal to make a mistake while feigning injury.
Or you could pretend to humiliate Asuma and deliberately spare his life, which would also fit your character.
It doesn't matter if you kill Asuma, but what if the Third Hokage harbors resentment towards me? That would seriously affect my future.
I don't know how many brain cells I'll have to expend or how much hair I'll lose to solve this problem.
He kills without hesitation, that's too "straightforward," not cunning at all. He always makes me clean up his messes, what a terrible teammate!
Thinking of the brain cells and hair follicles that might die, Kyosuke felt a surge of anger. His eyes widened in fury, and he spat out a few words through clenched teeth: "You've gone too far!"
At this moment, Kyosuke has no acting skills whatsoever; it's all emotion!
At this moment, Shisui also dealt with Yasuke's shadow clone. He looked at Yasuke with his Sharingan and stood shoulder to shoulder with Kyosuke, shielding Asuma behind him.
Asuma, having recovered from Kyosuke's roar, looked at the resolute figure before him and was deeply moved!
In times of crisis, it's always your own people you can rely on!
Just now, I was in a life-or-death situation. There were so many people in the stands, but no one stopped me. In the end, it was my classmate who saved me.
Looking back, it seems that I was always the one who took the initiative to cause trouble for Kyosuke, but Kyosuke always laughed it off and never got angry or held a grudge.
It turns out I was such a jerk in the past, doing so many jerk things!
After experiencing a major change, Asma suddenly matured and could observe the world from a more mature perspective. He felt that he was really lucky to have so many good friends by his side all the time!
"Thank you, Kyosuke."
Asuma clutched the wound in his chest and sincerely expressed his gratitude, which startled Kyosuke.
Oh dear, what's with this sincere tone? Asuma is actually thanking someone?
Could it be that I've moved him? Has he been won over by my acting skills?
If he treats me well in the future, I might feel a little bit of moral pressure if I cheat him again, which directly increases the cost of cheating him!
Thinking of this, Kyosuke felt even more heartbroken, and his gaze towards Mikami became even more hateful. He clasped his hands together, preparing to form a hand seal, and his voice became much colder.
"Asuma, don't worry, I will avenge you!"
Misato landed not far away, ignoring the pain in his chin. He spat out a mouthful of blood, held kunai in front of his chest with both hands, and looked at Kyosuke and the others with a cold smile.
"All of you, come at me together!"
Mimori was completely unconcerned about Kyosuke's anger.
If you're so capable, find a secluded place and fight me. Do you think I'm afraid of you?
Do you think I don't know your true nature? You're a selfish and self-serving guy at heart, so stop pretending to be a patriot!
Their eyes met, their gazes clashing like needles and wheat awns, sparks flying in the air.
Of course, although they seemed to be at odds, they both knew that the battle was over.
This is a selection event hosted by a powerful figure, a place that values rules and regulations. How can we tolerate such nonsense?
Sure enough, Kazuma shouted, "Stop it, all of you! Konoha ninja, you're breaking the rules and interfering in other people's battles. Are you challenging the authority of the Daimyo?!"
As soon as Kazuma opened his mouth, he pinned the blame on Kyosuke and the others, without mentioning at all the circumstances surrounding Yamori's attempt to kill someone.
Faced with criticism, Kyosuke remained unfazed and responded firmly, "As a Konoha ninja, I must help my comrades when they are in trouble. That is my ninja way!"
The answer was powerful and resounding throughout the square.
Some nodded in agreement, some curled their lip in disdain, and some looked at Kyosuke thoughtfully; everyone had different thoughts.
Of course, most of the Konoha ninjas who helped Mori Kon maintain order appreciated Kyosuke's actions.
Whether Kyosuke's words are right or wrong is another matter, but Kyosuke's actions in protecting the Konoha ninjas from outsiders are in their interests, so of course they will support him.
Kyosuke was willing to fight for Asuma today, and perhaps he will fight for them in the future.
The ninja world is fraught with crisis. If there were more people like Kyosuke, they might be able to save their lives someday.
This is also one of Kyosuke's goals: to maintain his public image at all times and spread it through the Konoha ninjas around him, which will pay off in the future.
