Chapter 46 Guidance

Kato Dan and Tsunade had visited him before, hoping that if their disciples were in danger on the battlefield, they would ask this powerful "ten thousand year Genin" to take care of them.

After learning about the talents of his three disciples from Kato Dan, Maruboshi Kosuke patted his chest and agreed, believing that protecting the future of the village was his due responsibility and was inherited from the Second Hokage.

When he was young, he killed his companions because of his rash command and order, so he apologized in front of the Second Hokage and was willing to be a Genin for the rest of his life to atone for his sins.

But in fact, his strength is enough to rank among the top ninjas in Konoha, especially at this time, he has not broken his legs, but only lost one eye at the beginning, and his age is not too old to the point of being past his peak, and he still has extremely strong combat power.

In terms of water escape, he is now almost the strongest water escape ninja in Konoha after being instructed by the Second Hokage, because he is the only water escape ninja who can use the water formation wall with only two seals and the water dragon bullet with four seals, just like the Second Hokage.

This is something that even the Third Hokage, who is a disciple of the Second Hokage and is known as the professor of Ninjutsu, cannot do.

Relying on his powerful water escape and swordsmanship, his strength can definitely rank very high among all the jonins in Konoha, and he can be regarded as the top figure below the Kage level.

Otherwise, the Second Hokage would not have been so optimistic about him and taught him water escape.

He is also a hidden backup for the entire reserve force. If the reserve force is needed to go on the field, with his strength, he can definitely become the person who supports this force.

"Hehe, I really didn't guess wrong. You guys are indeed my fellow ninjas."

Maruboshi Kosuke lifted the curtain of the tent and walked in familiarly, smiling at the small pot in the middle that was cooking canned wild vegetable soup.

"Come on, change to my big pot, so that you can cook more at a time and share some with me."

Maruboshi Kosuke sat down next to Mingjing and looked at the three Genin in the field with a smile.

"Eh? Grandpa, you are..."

Inuzuka Ryo looked at the old man in front of him in surprise.

You know, both he and Aburame Nami are excellent perception ninjas, but they didn't notice the old man entering the tent.

[This is at least a master of the Jonin level. ]

Inuzuka Ryo and Aburame Nami immediately made a judgment in their hearts.

"I am Maruboshi Kosuke, but a Genin in the village. I happened to smell the smell of your cooking and wanted to come over to share some. You won't refuse, right?"

Maruboshi Kosuke said, stroking his beard.

"Eh? Genin? How is it possible? When you came in, even Maru and I didn't notice it!"

Inuzuka Ryo asked in disbelief.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, let's eat first, let's eat first."

Maruboshi Kosuke waved his hand indifferently, while secretly looking at the three Genin.

He quite likes the personality shown by Inuzuka Ryo, but among the other two, Aburame Nami looks cold and stupid, which fits his impression of the Aburame clan.

As for Mingjing...

[This Uchiha kid grabbed the wakizashi behind him as soon as he noticed someone coming in. He seems to have a strong sense of crisis and has been sizing me up. Did he sense the threat from the powerful ninja from me and try to judge my strength? He is a good kid. ]

Maruboshi Kosuke is more concerned about Mingjing.

He has received guidance from the second generation Hokage, but unlike several disciples of the second generation who have been influenced by the second generation for many years and regard the Uchiha clan as a threat, he still recognizes that the people of the Uchiha clan are all companions in the village.

"Senior Kosuke? The elders in my family have mentioned you to me."

He is short, carrying an iron pot, a long ladle and a sword on his back, and is blind in one eye.

Except that his hair is not completely white and his left foot has not been replaced with a prosthesis, he is exactly the same as the Maruboshi Kosuke in Mingjing's impression.

"Oh? Elder? May I ask who it is..."

"Grandpa Yu once told me that Senior Gusuke is the most legendary Genin in the village. He has the strength that surpasses most Jonins, but he is still willing to serve as a Genin and has always contributed to the village."

Hearing Mingjing's praise, Maruboshi Kosuke immediately smiled.

"Grandpa Yu? Is it Senior Uchiha Yu? I remember the heroic appearance of this senior during the First Ninja World War."

Uchiha Yu did comment on the masters in the village to Mingjing, and also mentioned Maruboshi Kosuke, the legendary Genin.

"Okay, okay, stop the flattery and let's try my cooking skills first."

After Maruboshi Kosuke finished speaking, he took down the big iron pot behind him and replaced the small iron pot that Mingjing had before.

"Come on! Kid, aren't you an Uchiha? Come and light a fire."

Ming Jing obediently used his unique ninjutsu to light a fire.

At this point, Maruboshi Kosuke was surprised to find that the fire Ming Jing lit had no smoke.

So, the smile on the old man's face suddenly deepened a bit, and he moved his butt closer to Ming Jing.

"Ahem, I've already introduced myself, it's your turn, right?"

Maruboshi Kosuke said, while stirring the pot with his long-handled spoon.

Ming Jing and Inuzuka Ryoya Nami didn't understand, but still introduced themselves.

"They are all young talents from famous families, but I have never heard of it. The Uchiha clan also has this kind of fire escape ninjutsu that can burn fire without producing smoke."

Ming Jing instantly understood what Maruhoshi Kosuke meant.

This old man is also a gourmet, which can be seen from the iron pot he carries on his back.

It seems that he also wants to learn this fire escape that does not produce smoke when burning a fire, so that he can turn on a small stove when doing tasks outside.

"Senior Gu Jie, this is the secret fire escape technique that this junior created after going through a lot of hardships, going through many twists and turns, and thinking hard when he was practicing fire escape. Although the process of creating this ninjutsu is really difficult, but If you, the elder, want to learn, the younger generation will definitely teach you.”

Ming Jing smiled shyly and replied.

It should be obvious what you mean, right?

You, an old man, want a little ninjutsu from me, a new generation in the village, shouldn't you give me something good?

"You really don't look like an Uchiha, you are not happy at all, but of course I won't treat you badly."

Kosuke Maruboshi curled his lips and pointed at the wakizashi carried behind Ming Jing's back.

"Judging from your appearance, you must have learned swordsmanship, right? I am not very talented, and my Konoha-style swordsmanship was passed down from the Second Hokage. I should be able to give you some guidance."
