Reaction

Shintaro felt like he couldn't control his body, and then he fell into the sea. The water all around his body pushed the water out, causing him to continuously sink to a depth of thousands of meters.

He soon found the reason.

It turned out that he had just used the [Limitless Technique] in the battle, and kept using [Blue] and [Red] to attack, overloading his brain and causing damage.

And to heal the damage, he continued to use the [Reversal Cursed Technique].

This made his body adapt to activate [Reversal Cursed Technique] and [Red] simultaneously, making it impossible to turn them off.

Both [Infinity] and [Reversal Cursed Technique] operate automatically, and their effects cancel each other out. To maintain this state, the brain has now taken control of all of Shintaro's mobility.

In short, the CPU is exhausted, and nothing can be done except to maintain [Infinity] and [Reversal Cursed Technique].

The brain is the core of the production of Cursed Techniques and the printing of Cursed Techniques, and is crucial for a Jujutsu Sorcerer.

Shintaro dared not disrupt this delicate balance recklessly. If something unexpected happened, it would be the end. Even [Reversal Cursed Technique] might not be able to heal him.

The only way for him is to let his brain take control as quickly as possible to activate [Infinity] and [Reversal Cursed Technique] simultaneously.

Otherwise, Shintaro is likely to drown at the bottom of the sea.

Deep underwater, the space that can be moved by [Infinity] is very limited, and the remaining air is only enough for one person to breathe for one or two hours.

However, [Reversal Cursed Technique] still functions. Even if the air runs out, the damage from oxygen deprivation will be healed by [Reversal Cursed Technique].

But in this case, it will be more difficult to fully control the automatic state of [Infinity].

Moreover, [Reversal Cursed Technique] also has its limits. After hypoxia continues for several days, the degree of necrosis in Shintaro's body will exceed the limits of [Reversal Cursed Technique].

Shintaro calmed down, closed his eyes, focused his mind, and began to work hard to control [Infinity].

In the sea, a Kumogakure Ninja rowed a small boat and approached Killer Bee.

He just hid far away and finally waited for their battle to end.

He saw Shintaro fall to the bottom of the sea and thought the other party was too severely injured. He had already sentenced him to death, so he dared to approach Killer Bee.

The Kumogakure Ninja pulled the unconscious Killer Bee into the boat and rowed the boat towards the Land of Frost.

Dozens of minutes later, nearing dusk, the reinforcements from Konoha arrived late.

More than 900 ninjas led by Minato and 1,000 ninjas led by Hiashi arrived near the shore almost at the same time.

Minato immediately noticed the traces of the [Bijudama] explosion, as well as the bodies of Team Inuzuka Gaku and his team within the blast radius.

Kiromaru rushed to Gaku's body and whimpered.

Everyone in Konoha was saddened.

Gaku initially had a glimmer of hope, but he actively chose to sacrifice his life to convey information to the defense line faster.

The actions of Daichi, Isamu, and Takuto in protecting their teammates before dying were also quite touching.

Minato sent people to gather their remains, and then came to the shore to look for traces of Shintaro.

Hiashi observed from the side and said, "There are no traces of the Kumogakure Ninja."

Minato muttered, "Shintaro is very strong, but where is he?"

Hisashi immediately said, "I am now leading the Hyuga Clan to search in the sea, but... I cannot guarantee that I can find him..."

"The sea in the northern part of the Land of Frost is very deep, and our energy is limited..."

Minato said firmly, "Look, even if it's his body, we must find him."

"Shintaro is a hero of Konoha."

Hiashi sensed Minato's emotions, so he could only agree.

Then the members of the Hyuga Clan opened their eyes and began searching for Shintaro from the shoreline.

The news quickly spread to Konoha, and everyone's reactions were different.

"Konoha Chunin Uchiha Shintaro single-handedly forced back the Kumogakure landing forces and defeated the Hachibi. His whereabouts are unknown. He is believed to have fallen to the bottom of the sea due to severe injuries. He is being searched for, but there is little hope of survival."

In the Hokage's office, four senior Konoha officials discussing the war immediately received the information. In their eyes, the information was equivalent to the death of Uchiha Shintaro.

Hiruzen, Danzo, Homura, and Koharu. These four had once been members of the guardians of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.

Homura with glasses and a beard, while Koharu with a bun and earrings. Both wore the consultant robes of Konoha, and they already looked somewhat old.

Homura's eyes shone with sharpness behind his glasses, he crossed his arms and murmured, "Uchiha Shintaro is dead... It seems Konoha has lost another extraordinary talent."

He seemed to remember the young White Fang of Konoha who died young. Koharu added, "Truly regrettable. He could have contributed more to Konoha."

Koharu admired Shintaro's achievements. If Shintaro were still alive, there would be no need to worry about the war in the Northeast.

Danzo sneered and said, "This may not be a bad thing. Uchiha Shintaro was a troublemaker and would not be used by Konoha even if he were still alive. I think it's okay if he's dead. At least the Uchiha Clan has weakened."

Hiruzen slammed the table and shouted, "Danzo! You've gone too far!"

Danzo said disdainfully, "I just said what you dare not say."

Hiruzen scowled and ignored Danzo.

"Uchiha Shintaro is a hero of Konoha. That's final. There is no doubt that at this moment, we must make a statement."

"Initially, I gave Uchiha Shintaro the position of Special Jonin because of his night attack on the Kumogakure camp, but I received this news right after I sent him."

"I am now posthumously awarding Uchiha Shintaro the status of Jonin and giving him the title of Hero of Konoha, and the Inuzuka Gaku Squad will also be given the title of Hero Squad."

Both Homura and Koharu had no objections, who cared about giving respect to the deceased.

Danzo said, "As long as you're happy, you're the one sending people to the border."

"What do you mean I killed Uchiha Shintaro?" Hiruzen said with a stern tone.

Danzo waved his hand and said sarcastically, "I dare not, how could the Third Hokage do such a thing."

Hiruzen was so angry that he kicked Danzo out of the Hokage's office.

"You two should leave too, I'll be alone for a while."

Homura and Koharu also left.

Hiruzen leaned back in his chair, lit his pipe, and began to smoke.

For a long time, he muttered to himself, "Shintaro, I didn't expect sending you to the battlefield would result in this. Don't blame me..."

"Sigh.."

He sighed and began to handle Shintaro's funeral affairs.

Documents regarding the posthumous award of Konoha's hero, Uchiha Shintaro, were quickly posted to inform the entire village.

Everyone felt sorry for this genius of Konoha, expressing both the glory of Shintaro's life and the greatness of his death.

At this moment, a beautiful figure stumbled, it was Kurenai.

Kurenai heard the news about Shintaro on the street. Unwilling to believe it, she ran towards the notice in front of the Hokage Building, hoping to prove that it was just a rumor.

She broke through the crowd and realized.

The title of the announcement was about the posthumous honor of Konoha ninja, Uchiha Shintaro, and the members of Team Inuzuka Gaku who died in the line of duty.

Kurenai felt dizzy, then fell to the ground.

This appearance scared everyone, and then everyone realized that this girl was Shintaro's girlfriend. They both lived together every day when they were in the village, as Shintaro was very famous, and even Kurenai was familiar to the villagers.

Despite her appearance, tears streamed down Kurenai's beautiful face, and she murmured, "Shintaro... You big liar..."

She still remembered Shintaro's words to her when he went to battle.

Kurenai continued to wait, but what she awaited was the announcement that Shintaro had died in battle.

Seeing this scene, the villagers watching sighed.

During war, life and death are inevitable, but it would be cruel to ask Kurenai, a young girl, to bear this burden.

In addition to Kurenai, former classmates like Asuma, Kakashi, Guy, Obito, Rin, and Anko were also shocked and saddened by Shintaro's death.

Shintaro was very popular in his generation, and everyone mourned spontaneously.

Not only his classmates, but also Shikaku and others, as well as Kosuke, Hayama, and Duy who had been part of Shintaro's team.

The Uchiha Clan also mourned Shintaro, and his followers like Tetsuo cried the hardest.

No one could imagine that Shintaro, whom they mourned, was still alive and well at the bottom of the Land of Frost.
