Chapter 25 Nakamura's Bond
After a moment of silence, Nakamura said, "In that case, I have no choice but to kill you myself! You betrayed the village!"
"Haha, that's right, this is the Nakamura I know. Keep those two brats away, we're going to get serious!"
"Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"
This is the ninjutsu that Shimizu learned to be promoted to Jonin. Although it is only B-level, it is the user, not the level, that affects the power of Fire Style. Therefore, as a Jonin who is proficient in Fire Style, Shimizu's Great Fire Dragon Technique is no less powerful than A-level ninjutsu.
Therefore, Lu Ming and Taichi were forced back as soon as they arrived, and Shilang in the distance originally wanted to seize this opportunity to shoot the other party, but after seeing a gesture from Nakamura, he put down the bonds in his hand.
"Wind Style: Suppress!"
Nakamura also chose B-level ninjutsu at the beginning, but he chose two, and one of them was also wind escape, but it was once used to assist Shimizu's fire escape.
But now, Nakamura is going to use the wind escape technique that he had mastered to cooperate with Shimizu to kill Shimizu. This is a great irony.
Both ninjutsu are of small range but strong power. Even though Nakamura's wind escape technique has some attribute restraint advantages, the pressure from the Great Fire Dragon Technique was avoided by Shimizu!
The two were not surprised that the ninjutsu did not work. After all, they had been teammates for many years. Then they rushed towards each other at the same time with kunai in hand!
“Ping!”
With the collision of kunai, scenes from the past seemed to reappear before my eyes.
"Hello, my name is Qingshui."
"My name is Nakamura."
"Why did you betray the village? Didn't we agree to work together to achieve that dream?"
"No reason! Stop saying these meaningless words! Nakamura!" Shimizu said after dodging Nakamura's kick. At the same time, he spun the kunai in his hand and slashed towards Nakamura.
Nakamura raised the kunai in his hand and blocked Shimizu's slash.
“Ping!”
"Nakamura, mine is fire attribute, what's yours?"
"Wind Style and Earth Style!"
"Wow! You have two kinds!"
"Yeah, but right now I just want to specialize in Wind Escape."
"Why? Earth escape is also very strong."
"Because Wind Style can complement your Fire Style. Isn't that what we agreed on? We're going to achieve that dream together!"
Shimizu looked at the smile on Nakamura's face and said, "Ah, it's a deal!"
"If our past dreams are meaningless, then are the times we worked hard together in the past also meaningless? I'm so dead! (Transliteration of Qingshui)"
With a roar, Nakamura kicked Shimizu away!
"Cough!" Qingshui coughed up blood after getting up from the ground, then said, "Oh, you are too naive, Nakamura. No matter how hard we try, we can't realize that dream."
"The gap between civilians and clan ninjas is unbridgeable. They are more talented than us, have more resources, and work just as hard as we do. So how can we possibly surpass them?"
"." Nakamura was silent for a moment, then continued, "I know, but this doesn't affect my persistence in this dream!"
“The result is not important. What matters is whether I take action and whether I am worthy of my own heart!”
Qing Shui looked at Nakamura with a determined face and smiled. "Ha, as expected, Nakamura, you are a fool. In fact, Earth Escape is more suitable for you. I know you are very talented in Earth Escape. You only chose Wind Escape to cooperate with me."
"You've always been helping me, and now it's my turn to help you, Nakamura. Ha, although it's a bit shameless of you to repay you with your things."
"What do you mean?"
“Puff!”
Shikamichi and Shiro in the distance looked at the scene in surprise.
It turned out that after saying this, Shimizu directly inserted the kunai into his own neck!
"Shimizu!" Nakamura shouted and rushed towards Shimizu.
Unfortunately, the kunai was stuck in his neck, so Shimizu just smiled at Nakamura and died completely.
"Idiot! We'll find a way to save you! If we try hard enough, there's hope that Hokage-sama will absolve you of your guilt, you bastard!"
Although Nakamura had said before that he wanted to kill Shimizu, it was actually just talk. After all, they were teammates who had been together for more than ten years.
Unlike Shiro, Nakamura and Shimizu have slightly better talents, so they have been in the same team since they were Genin. Even after they were promoted to Jonin and formed their own teams and separated a little, their teams still acted together most of the time.
Therefore, in terms of feelings, the relationship between Nakamura and the others is much deeper than that between Shiro and Okisuke.
Therefore, Shimizu's death was a very difficult thing for Nakamura to accept. Unfortunately, Shimizu's body was lying in front of Nakamura, and he had to accept this cruel fact.
Nakamura looked at Shimizu's face which still had a smile on it, and the scenes from the past seemed to appear before his eyes again.
"Haha, Nakamura, when we combine our power of wind and fire, we will definitely be invincible."
"Nakamura, I've mastered the Great Fireball! How's your Big Breakthrough going?"
"Nakamura."
The past scenes flashed by one by one, finally stopping at the scene where Shimizu thrust the kunai into his neck with a smile on his face.
After a while, Nakamura collected Shimizu's body, greeted Lu Ming and the others, and walked towards the town silently.
Lu Ming and the others did not disturb Nakamura, but followed him silently.
Shiro, who had witnessed the entire scene from the mountain, naturally had no intention of disturbing Nakamura. He wasn't worried that Nakamura wouldn't be able to withstand the blow. After all, he was a jonin, so his mind wasn't that fragile. However, it was inevitable that he would feel lost for a while.
Next, Shiro and the others cleaned up the battlefield and returned to the hotel in silence.
That night, Nakamura was in his room, looking at the scroll containing Shimizu's body, and whispered to himself, "Don't worry, I will definitely realize my dream. One day, civilian ninjas will have the same training conditions as family ninjas!"
Although the second generation founded a ninja school and increased the proportion of civilian ninjas, the ninja school only taught the basics, and there were no advanced ninjutsu or training methods.
Therefore, there is still a huge gap between civilian ninjas and family ninjas. Don’t say that hard work can surpass geniuses. Only geniuses who work hard can surpass geniuses!
You are not the only one who knows how to work hard. They are also working hard to cultivate. Others are more talented and have more resources than you, so why can't they beat you?
Therefore, most of the civilian ninjas who come out of the ninja school exist as cannon fodder. Nakamura does not expect civilian ninjas to surpass family ninjas. That is unrealistic. After all, the foundation is there. Nakamura just hopes that civilian ninjas can have enough fighting power to reduce casualties.
Unfortunately, reality was even more cruel than Nakamura imagined! It had been two years since Nakamura was promoted to Jonin, but he still hadn't made any changes to the situation. He saw no hope at all. After all, he was just a Jonin. Those big families easily had two or three. A powerful clan like the Uchiha clan was rumored to have hundreds of Jonin!
Among them there are even no less than ten elite jonin!
Therefore, Nakamura still has a long way to go.
On the other side, Lu Ming was also thinking. Except for the smooth progress in dealing with the Chunin and Genin at the beginning of today's plan, things did not develop according to Lu Ming's plan when fighting against Shimizu.
"It seems that what Dad said is right. The human heart is the most difficult to calculate." He sighed at first, and then the tone suddenly changed. "Ah, this is so troublesome. Why do I have to think so much? I should go to sleep."
After saying that, he fell asleep on the bed like a salted fish.
Thanks to Huoyangbao, Tenghoulin, and Luoyutianfeng for their recommendation votes. Thank you all for your support. I used Japanese pronunciation for the chapter about Shimizu because I felt it would make it more vivid. I'll see how it gets received first. If it's not good, I'll change it. Thank you for your support.
