Chapter 43 Return and Analysis
"I see! I'll tell my brother after we return to the village!" Fu Shengyi took the scroll, without checking or opening it, without any trial or doubt about the authenticity of Qingsi's identity, he put the scroll into his ninja tool bag, reflecting his confidence in his own powerful lineup and strength.
"In that case, I'll take my leave!" Qingsi didn't care. As long as he could complete the task successfully, he certainly wouldn't have any extra thoughts, so he said goodbye to the people from Yunyin.
Having completed the secret mission without any problems, Kiyoshi, who was eager to return home, quickly chased in the direction his subordinates had left. It wasn't long before he caught up with Chinano, Yagura and the others. However, those people, who had no idea that Kiyoshi had completed the mission and returned, were still talking nonsense.
Just as Qingsi, who had caught up with everyone quietly, was about to show up, he heard Muri Jinpachi curiously ask Yagura, "Captain Jing, have you ever sparred with the squad leader? How strong is he?" So he gave up the idea of showing up immediately and prepared to listen to what Yagura had to say.
"Hey, even though Gu was the captain of our sixth team, my strength is no less than his. The several fights between us ended in a draw!" Yagura boasted shamelessly.
"Then why was Bones the original captain of the Sixth Team, and why did he even become the captain of the First Team later?" Qing on the side said calmly. As an elite ninja personally requested by Qing Si, he knew clearly the true identity and approximate strength of Bones, or Qing Si.
"Yes, it's indeed a draw, but we were two against one, and who knows if the captain was letting us win? There were several times when he even didn't use the Corpse Bone Vein!" Chino also launched a venomous attack on Yagura.
"The squad leaders of the Anbu are at least elite jonin, so they definitely didn't let anyone off. But I'm afraid they let a lot of people off!" Biwa Juzo and Kurishan Kushimaru joked.
"Hana! How can you slander someone's innocence like this?" Yagura blushed, and then said, "Two against one is still a draw! How can a competition between teammates be a let-down?"
Then came a series of obscure words, and for a moment the audience was filled with a happy atmosphere.
The group got really close to each other during this mission which lasted nearly a month. Although the difference in status between superiors and subordinates in the Anbu was still very obvious, Yagura still had the mentality of a young man. In addition, Kurisai Kushimaru, Muri Shinpachi, Biwa Juzo and Ao were all extremely talented, so Yagura did not take everyone's teasing to heart.
Qingsi, who was eavesdropping on the side, couldn't help laughing. Then he quietly appeared at the end of the team and said to Yagura faintly: "Jing, I will meet your request. I will have another sparring match with you after returning to the village!"
Hearing Qingsi suddenly speak, Yagura was startled and stumbled. Oh no, this was an over-boasting and he was caught by the person involved.
"Sir! You're back!" Several people who heard Qingsi's voice spoke respectfully.
Qing Si nodded to signal to the others, then asked Qing and the other four, "You guys watched the entire battle just now. Tell me what you think."
"The title of demigod is very appropriate for Salamander Hanzo. Although the final result was a draw between Hanzo and the Hokage, I think Hanzo actually won. He was just afraid that after defeating the Naruto, he would be forced to stay by the angry Konoha ninjas." Biwa Juzo spoke first and expressed his guesses and opinions.
"I agree!" Kurishan Kushimaru said concisely.
"Me too!" Muri Jinpachi followed.
"Yes, Hanzo did win. I can clearly sense that Hanzo's aura after the battle did not decline as drastically as Naruto's, and he was able to remain unscathed under such a terrifying ninjutsu!" Qing, the only one among the few who had the ability to perceive, added.
"It's true that Hanzo won, but he was not uninjured." Qing Si corrected Qing's statement, "Qing, your perception ability has great potential for development, but it still needs to be strengthened. Hanzo was actually injured, and the injury was not light."
"Although you can't see it from the outside, and Hanzo's chakra aura hasn't declined too obviously, but I can sense that his life breath is fluctuating. Hanzo is forcibly using his huge chakra to suppress his injuries, in order to deceive all the ninjas with perception abilities present." Qingsi continued to explain to the few people.
In fact, Qingji didn't notice it at first, but after the battle, Hanzo's remarks that were obviously inconsistent with his character aroused a hint of suspicion in Qingji.
So Qingsi carefully sensed Hanzo's condition again and discovered the clue.
"Hanzō's strength is indeed very strong, and is close to the limit of the Kage level, but to say that he is the strongest in the ninja world is not entirely true. Let's not talk about others, at least our Mizukage is not much inferior to Hanzo." Although there is a suspicion of beautifying his own Kage, and his own Kage is not as strong as Hanzo in terms of hard power, but Seiji, who has seen the third Mizukage take action in the first Ninja World War in his memory, does think that he can compete with the current Hanzo.
Hanzo is a Kage-level warrior who is proficient in water jutsu, fire jutsu and swordsmanship, but the ice jutsu that was developed to the extreme by the Third Mizukage can just restrain most of Hanzo's abilities.
Therefore, although Qingji believes that the strength of his Mizukage Bing is not much different from that of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, under the attribute restraint, he is definitely able to compete with Hanzo.
