Chapter 560 Stole a Marked Sword
Chapter 560 Stole a Marked Sword
Coincidentally, just as Yekura was stopping everyone from watching any further, Neji's group was also "persuaded" to return.
Neji was initially suspicious that Ao, who was wearing a mask, might be his father who had faked his death to escape.
But as Ao made some surprising remarks and expressed his love to Kakashi, Neji suddenly felt that this was no longer his father.
Or rather, Neji now wishes his father were dead. If Ao really was his father, he would rather send him on his way himself before he was exposed.
As soon as Neji returned, Naruto immediately pulled him over.
Yekura asked the people in Konoha if they knew about Obito and Kakashi's relationship.
Konohamaru genuinely didn't know, and even if Naruto did know, he had already forgotten.
Naruto only remembered that Kakashi-sensei had said something like Neji had helped him a lot by thwarting Obito's evil plans.
So Neji, who had just retreated, was dragged over.
"Neji, you have no idea what a terrifying scene we just witnessed! Tell everyone about the love-hate relationship between Kakashi-sensei and that Obito."
Naruto urged Neji on.
"..."
Neji fell silent.
Is it a terrifying scene?
Is there anything more terrifying in this world than the scene a while ago when Kakashi and Obito used Kamui to control the flow of water in a septic tank?
"I don't know, they might just be particularly fond of the thesis defense."
After saying a few words, Neji took the opportunity to break free from Naruto's grip and ran away.
From beginning to end, Might Guy didn't come over; he was still discussing taijutsu with Violet, completely unaware that his beloved Kakashi was about to be bullied.
Oh wait, Might Guy is the one who came from elsewhere, and Obito is the original partner. So it's alright.
"You like thesis defenses?"
Everyone was stunned by Neji's short but profound words.
If you say Kakashi's summoning ninja dogs like to debate, then that's somewhat plausible.
Why are those two the ones who like to defend their theses?
The term "stone stirring stick" immediately came to everyone's mind.
Could this be a peculiar quirk that they gradually developed during their relationship?
While they were leisurely vacationing in Kirigakure, indulging in gossip and chatting, something not insignificant happened in Konoha.
Thor's Sword, a second-generation relic that had been neglected for many years, was stolen.
Thor's Sword is a weapon that can be transformed into a "lightsword" when infused with chakra, possessing powerful cutting capabilities.
But I've never seen the second generation use it; he only used an ordinary sword to cut down Izuna.
Perhaps the second generation originally developed the Thor's Sword to cut Susanoo, but later found that it was still ineffective, so they abandoned it.
It is precisely because the second generation themselves did not care that their descendants did not pay much attention to it.
Some people inherit the Flying Thunder God Technique, some inherit the Shadow Clone Technique, and some inherit the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, but nobody is so bored as to inherit the Thunder God's Sword.
There are many skilled swordsmen in Konoha, but no one has ever thought of awarding this skill to someone to inherit.
Thor's Sword is indeed an awkward thing.
Because it requires the absorption of chakra to use, its strength is determined by the user's power.
It's useless for noobs to take it, and experts don't need to take it.
However, in the original story, there was a weakling who stole the Thor's Sword, only to be easily defeated by a combination of young Sasuke and young Naruto. The Thor's Sword was broken by a single Rasengan.
His record is comparable to that of Raiga Kurozumi.
And this person is just a minor character named Green Sunflower.
This minor character is a Chunin, but because Konoha has made him lead a Genin squad for a long time without any chance of promotion, Midori Aoi harbors resentment and decides to steal the Thunder God Sword and defect to Amegakure.
He told Konoha that Amegakure had asked him to steal the Thunder God Sword.
That would be too abstract.
Before this part of the story, Amegakure was just a village of minor characters who appeared during the Chunin Exams.
But as those who have read the later episodes know, Amegakure was controlled by the Akatsuki and Pain.
The order issued by Amegakure is equivalent to the order issued by Pain.
If you were to say that a village with only minor characters doesn't have many powerful Jonin or combat strength, so it needs the Thunder God's Sword to put on a show, that would be understandable.
Why would the Akatsuki organization need Thor's Sword?
Is it for Kisame to play with, like the jagged sword or the dual-wielding style?
Moreover, Green Sunflower did not hand over Thor's sword; he used it himself.
Therefore, there is reason to suspect that Green Aoi, like Black Zetsu's mother, Yellow Peach, is a fraud who is falsely claiming that the order was issued by Amegakure, when in reality it was his own idea.
It's quite bizarre.
He himself wasn't strong enough, so he was always a Chunin, leading a Genin squad. Isn't that a good thing?
If you're not strong enough, why would you be promoted to Jonin and go on dangerous missions? Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble and dying?
All I can say is that this Green Sunflower student is still too eager to improve.
There's really no other way.
He will defect sooner or later.
And now, it's "sooner or later".
Green Sunflower still stole Thor's sword.
Tsunade was not in a hurry when she found out, and did not even send anyone out to pursue them.
Because there's a slight difference between the current version and the original.
—Tobirama Senju himself was resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
Do you think Tobirama Senju might have casually pasted the Flying Thunder God Technique formula on the Thunder God Sword after creating it?
So there's no need to rush at all.
If you want to take it back, if you want to capture Green Sunflower, it's just a matter of saying a word.
Moreover, Thor's Sword is not some kind of heaven-defying artifact or strategic weapon.
It's better to let Green Sunflower defect now and see where he plans to go, so we can see if there are any other people behind him.
Green Sunflower is fleeing frantically and without stopping.
He was unaware that Konoha had not sent anyone to pursue him.
After all, in his mind, if such a powerful artifact was stolen, wouldn't a large number of ANBU be dispatched to hunt down this traitorous ninja?
Therefore, he dared not linger for even a moment.
However, Green Aoi did not go to Amegakure as in the original story.
Amegakure is now at the core of the "modern ninja world," serving as a link for peace and alliance among the five great ninja villages and the entire ninja world.
In the past, he deliberately exposed himself, seeking discomfort.
So where would be a suitable place for him to go?
Naturally, this refers to the Hidden Sand Village and the Hidden Mist Village, which possess hidden resistance forces.
In the end, Green Sunflower decisively chose Hidden Mist Village.
Compared to the endless desert with no cover in Sunagakure, the dense jungle and thick fog on Kirigakure's island are more suitable for hiding.
He had also heard that the new Mizukage of Kirigakure was just an ordinary woman, while the new Kazekage of Sunagakure was the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast and had a romantic relationship with Naruto Uzumaki, the Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tailed Beast of Konoha.
If they run off to Sunagakure and join the rebel forces, Konoha will likely do everything in its power to help Sunagakure destroy them.
The chances of surviving and successfully rebelling are higher in Kirigakure.
And so, Green Aoi, carrying the Thunder God's Sword, found the Blood Mist Return Organization in Kirigakure.
They also met Nanami Hoshigaki's younger brother and father, two fanatical people determined to return Kirigakure to the Blood Mist.
