Chapter 126: A New Training
It didn't even take a whole night; within just a few hours, Koshino's name had spread throughout the entire Konoha camp.
As for Genma Shiranui's other prediction, the troubles that might come with Koshino's newfound fame, that was unlikely to happen.
Because Koshino's rise to fame in the Konoha camp wasn't about earning a title of genius, something everyone might hope to achieve by luck, but rather a notorious reputation!
This was the Hyuga Clan's camp, which included over twenty Hyuga Clan ninjas!
Koshino first disregarded the honor of both the Uchiha Clan and the Hyuga Clan by killing Uchiha Namida and Hyuga Nichirin,
two members of prestigious families, which already made the ninjas in the Konoha camp keep their distance from Koshino.
And now, in just a few minutes, he had flattened the Hyuga Clan's camp!
It's not just the ordinary ninjas in this Konoha camp who would feel psychological pressure when facing Koshino in the future.
Even the Uchiha Clan, the only ones in the camp who could rival the Hyuga Clan, were restless after hearing that Koshino had flattened the Hyuga Clan's camp and left all the Hyuga Clan ninjas there severely injured!
Clearly, they feared that after Koshino had finished with the Hyuga Clan, he would turn his attention to the Uchiha Clan's camp!
So, while Koshino had just flattened the Hyuga Clan's camp and hadn't yet moved towards the Uchiha Clan's camp,
the Uchiha Clan's leader began to consider the honor of their prestigious family.
On one hand, they dispatched Uchiha Clan ninjas on missions to avoid a complete wipeout like the Hyuga Clan.
On the other hand, the Uchiha Clan leader, an elite jonin named Uchiha Ryu, went to the medical camp in the area.
There, Uchiha Ryu intended to use the camaraderie between Uchiha Shisui and Koshino to persuade Koshino not to cause trouble for the Uchiha Clan!
Meanwhile, Guy and Genma Shiranui were completely unaware that Koshino had gained a notorious reputation, so after their discussion, they planned to find Shikaku to resolve the incident caused by Koshino.
Upon arriving at Shikaku's camp, Guy and Genma Shiranui saw Ebisu waiting outside Shikaku's camp.
It turned out that when Ebisu came seeking Shikaku's help, Shikaku was busy with a battle and couldn't see Ebisu immediately, unaware of Koshino's retaliation against the Hyuga Clan.
At that moment, seeing Guy and Genma Shiranui rushing over, Ebisu had prepared for the worst.
Who would have thought that Guy and Genma Shiranui would bring not bad news, but rather news that would shock Ebisu for a long time?
"What?"
"When you arrived at the Hyuga Clan's camp, Koshino had already dealt with those Hyuga Clan scoundrels?"
"You're... you're not joking, right?"
Listening to Guy and Genma Shiranui recount the events at the Hyuga Clan's camp, Ebisu stood there stunned, his eyes filled with shock.
Then, after Guy and Genma Shiranui's wry explanations, Ebisu finally managed to digest the astonishing facts they brought.
However, just as Genma Shiranui thought, Ebisu also felt it necessary to report this to Shikaku.
So, when Shikaku had time to see them, the three of them entered Shikaku's camp together to report the matter.
But what puzzled Guy and the others was that they expected Shikaku to be either furious or deep in thought upon hearing the news.
Instead, after they finished reporting, Shikaku was smiling and waved them off, saying:
"Alright, I already know about Koshino's situation."
"You guys are really loyal friends to Koshino, coming to me first instead of seeking help from the medical ninjas!"
"Fortunately, before you arrived, I had already instructed the medical ninja team to go and assist those Hyuga Clan ninjas, so there's no need to worry too much about Koshino."
"I have other matters to attend to, so you should head back for now!"
"I know you're probably very confused as to why I reacted so calmly to such shocking news."
"Go ask Koshino!"
"He'll definitely be able to give you the answers!"
With that, Shikaku gave a mysterious smile and then practically "ushered" Guy and the other two out of the tent, ready to tackle the issues between Konoha and the Mist ninjas.
After leaving Shikaku's tent, Guy and the others indeed looked puzzled. They hurriedly rushed back to the camp, eager to get answers from Koshino to clear up their confusion.
Unfortunately, when Guy and the others returned to the "Incompetent" squad's camp, they found only their injured captain, Might Duy, lying unconscious on the bed. Koshino was nowhere to be seen.
With no other choice, since Koshino hadn't returned, Guy and the others could only wait silently for his return to resolve their confusion.
As for where Koshino went after leaving the Hyuga Clan's camp? Guy speculated that Koshino had gone to the Uchiha Clan's camp and suggested they go check it out.
However, Ebisu and Genma Shiranui's guess was more accurate. In reality, after leaving the Hyuga Clan's camp, Koshino had gone to a nearby stream just outside the Konoha camp.
There, Koshino was washing the blood-stained Anbu uniform while silently contemplating the next phase of his new training.
"Understanding the mysteries of the ninja way, recognizing my true self, and the pressure from those Hyuga Clan guys have finally led to a breakthrough in my mental energy and wind chakra control!"
"So, in terms of 'techniques,' all I need to do is wait for the app's development function to create new secret techniques, perfecting the 'technique' aspect of my training."
"There's no need to continue training with hidden weapons; just occasional reinforcement training will suffice."
"The only two areas I need to focus on now are increasing the weight for my taijutsu training and the Uzumaki Clan's mental secret techniques.
If I can break through in these two areas, combined with my recent breakthroughs in mental energy and wind chakra control,
my strength will firmly step into the elite Jonin level, possibly even touch the Shadow level barrier, reaching a half-step Shadow level."
"Unfortunately, training in the Uzumaki Clan's mental secret techniques and achieving another breakthrough in mental energy is a gradual process.
It requires slow accumulation and comprehension, just like when I fought against the Mist and Hyuga Clan ninjas, slowly breaking through in mental energy."
"Since that's the case, taijutsu training will be my main focus in the next phase!"
"And mastering that 'Wind Blade' secret technique will be my new training challenge!"
With these thoughts, Koshino planned a brand new path for his future training, preparing for the new 'Wind Blade' secret technique training.
However, if anyone could glimpse Koshino's true inner thoughts, they would be utterly shocked!
Because when Koshino planned his future training path and prepared for the new 'Wind Blade' secret technique training, his real goal wasn't just to master the Konoha Strong Fist style taijutsu or the 'Wind Blade' secret technique!
Koshino's true goal was grand!
It was to combine the Konoha Strong Fist style taijutsu, the initial insights from the Gentle Fist mysteries,
and the rudimentary 'Wind Blade' secret technique to create an entirely new taijutsu style!
