Chapter 23 Aftermath

Looking at the slender arm that had sunk into his chest, Kinkaku was in disbelief.

As a ninja, he had never feared death.

But he had never thought that he would die at the hands of a Genin one day.

Looking at Kagura who was so close, Kinkaku had the thought of dying together.

However, just when he wanted to make a move, a feeling of exhaustion from the heart came over him.

When did he start to feel this powerlessness?

When Ginkaku died in front of him?

Or when Tobirama killed all his loyal subordinates?

Maybe it was the moment when he and his brother decided to defect from the village.

Looking at Kagura's young face, Kinkaku sighed intermittently:

"Maybe...

We are no longer suitable for... this... era."

This legend of Kumogakure only left such a last word until the end.

As Kinkaku closed his eyes, his strong body finally fell backwards powerlessly.

Seeing Kinkaku's body in front of him, Kagura realized that he had really killed Kinkaku.

His whole body relaxed, and Kagura sat on the ground weakly, panting rapidly.

Perhaps because he could not control the power of Chidori, or because Kinkaku's body was harder than he thought, Kagura's right hand was broken again.

Kagura, who had already left the state of Tailed Beast Cloth, felt that every bone in his body was groaning.

Blood and tears were constantly flowing from his eyes, and his head seemed to explode in the next moment.

But all of this could not cover up his excitement at this moment.

"I really succeeded!"

Lying on the ground with his hands stretched out and looking up at the sky, Kagura laughed wantonly.

All these battles were carefully planned by him.

The Chidori he just used was the ninjutsu rewarded after completing the B-level mission this time.

Because he had just mastered this ninjutsu, he could not cover up the light and sound when using Chidori.

At the same time, the damage of this ninjutsu mainly depends on speed and impact force, so the longer the impact distance, the greater its power.

All of these require a long preparation time.

So from the beginning, he used Kotoamatsukami to make Kinkaku subconsciously ignore the abnormality caused by his use of Chidori in the distance. "I remember that this time, Lord Sarutobi went out with the Genin of Team 7, including Princess Tsunade.

Search the area again to see if you can find them, even if they are corpses."

...

...

When Kagura opened his eyes, in the hazy light, what caught his eyes was the ceiling with hanging light tubes.

With a weak groan, he felt that his muscles were full of soreness.

After opening his eyes for a long time, his vision was still blurry, as if the whole world was covered with a layer of plastic wrap.

It seems that the sequelae of the tailed beast and the full-power driving of the Sharingan are greater than imagined.

Sensing Kagura's movements, a clear female voice came from beside him:

"Are you awake?"

Kagura turned his head and looked over with his godly eyes. After a long time, as the focus slowly recovered, he finally saw that the person who spoke was Tsunade.

At this time, Tsunade's hands were bandaged, but compared with himself lying on the bed, it didn't seem serious.

Looking at Kagura's dazed look, Tsunade asked worriedly:

"What's wrong with you?

How do you feel now?"

Looking at the handsome face with worry, Kagura was stunned for a moment, just thinking how beautiful that face was.

He shook his head slowly, muttering absentmindedly:

"I'm fine...

Well, it seems that according to the plot of the TV series I watched before, I should drink water now..."

Kagura, who had just woken up, obviously had not fully recovered his consciousness. For a moment, he thought he was still in Blue Star, and subconsciously even said the TV series.

Tsunade looked at Kagura in confusion, but although she didn't know what a TV series was, she understood that she wanted to drink water.

Kagura finally came to his senses after being helped up by Tsunade and drinking a glass of water.

He asked in confusion:

"Where is this?"

Tsunade took the water cup and put it on the table beside him, and replied:

"Don't worry, we are now in the hospital of Konoha Village."

As Tsunade explained, Kagura gradually learned what happened later.

It had been two days since that day.

The Konoha jonin who heard the news found all the people scattered everywhere and returned to the village with Kinkaku's body.

Except Kagura, everyone else woke up yesterday.

Through Sarutobi Hiruzen's narration, the Konoha high-level officials finally knew the whole story.

At this time, facing the request of the Third Raikage to exchange Kinkaku's body, the Konoha high-level officials were discussing the conditions that the Hidden Cloud Village needed to pay.

Since Tsunade woke up yesterday, she has been guarding the unconscious Kagura.

After recounting what happened in the past two days, although she was reluctant to leave, the doctor who came to check on her told Kagura that she needed to rest well.

Tsunade had to leave the room unwillingly.

It seems that Kagura's action of helping her resist Kinkaku's punch at that time not only made Tsunade no longer angry, but also completely captured her heart.

Recalling the affectionate eyes of Tsunade who was just 8 years old, Kagura could only secretly say that she was guilty.

Lying in the quiet ward, Kagura finally had the opportunity to check her condition.

The doctor just said that it would take at least another week before she could be discharged from the hospital.

As for the fracture of her right hand, it would take more time to recover.

But these were not what Kagura cared about most. At this time, he couldn't wait to open the system interface.

At this time, a prompt of "successfully killing Kinkaku" appeared under the task that had been completed.

After thinking it over again and again, Kagura did not immediately draw the reward for the task.

Then, what surprised him even more was the growth of other attributes.

His attributes at this time were:

"Dojutsu: (Double Magatama Sharingan), progress 86.3%.

Taijutsu: (Fifth Gate, Dumen), progress 32.1%.

Chakra: (Jonin level), progress 4.3%.

Tailed Beast: One Tail, fusion degree 43%"

Compared with before leaving the village, his attributes at this time have undergone earth-shaking changes.

The dojutsu that had just evolved to double magatama has progressed a lot, and it seems that the next step of three magatama is not far away.

As for Taijutsu and Chakra, they have directly advanced one level, promoted to the fifth gate and Jonin level respectively.

As for the tailed beast, perhaps because of the use of the tailed beast coat, the fusion degree is also much higher than before.

Sure enough, the best way to practice is to fight against the enemy at a higher level, but it is a bit life-threatening.

Just as Kagura was happy that her strength had become stronger again, there was a knock on the door of the ward.
