Chapter 43 The same ninja sword of the second generation Hokage
There was a sound of metal hitting the wooden floor.

Under the dim light, the broken knife that he accidentally knocked to the ground revealed its original appearance.

The rust marks covering the blade concealed the ninja sword's former glory.

Through the Senju Clan's emblem that glowed dark gold, Maruhoshi Kosuke, a disciple of Senju Tobirama, directly recognized this special ninja sword.

"I once saw a similar ninja sword at the teacher's place."

Kosuke Maruboshi picked up the ninja sword from the ground and rewrapped the loose cloth around the ninja sword that was broken into three parts.

"Can you tell me its origin?"

After saying that, Kosuke Maruboshi held the folded sword blades through a layer of cloth, and handed the handle to Uchiha Toru.

"You said this, I picked it up in Nanhe River."

Uchiha Toru stretched out his hands, took the ninja sword from Maruboshi Kosuke's hand, put the ninja sword in his arms again and then asked:

"I don't know the specific origin of this ninja sword, but who are you, uncle?"

It brought back some memories of Kosuke Maruboshi. The middle-aged genin was about to speak after a brief silence, but some joking voices came from outside the ramen shop.

"Fousuke, a genin of ten thousand years, don't you all know about such a famous person?"

A somewhat reckless Konoha chuunin pushed open the red curtain and explained to the two Uchiha who were talking to Maruhoshi Kosuke.

"Kosuke-senpai has been a genin for nearly 40 years. If he is a genin, there is no reason why he shouldn't be known!"

Immediately afterwards, after seeing Uchiha Shisui without a genin forehead protector, the chuunin immediately understood the situation.

"You're still a Ninja student, no wonder."

"But that's okay."

The man wearing a chuunin vest found a seat and sat down, nodded to Kosuke and continued chatting.

"If you graduate from the ninja school, you will soon know the name of Kosuke-senpai."

Someone who has been a ninja for 35 years is not particularly rare.

Some of the veteran teachers at the Ninja School have 35 years of ninja experience.

But their ninja experience is just to transfer into teaching positions, doing the work of teachers while maintaining their ninja identity.

There is absolutely no comparison with ninjas like Kosuke Maruhoshi who have been on the front line for 35 years.

That is 35 years of experience in continuously being on the front line of various tasks.

It is extremely rare even in the entire ninja world.

Perhaps only the genin 'Matt Dai', who was disliked by his new teammates, is expected to take over the title of ancient genin for thousands of years.

However, compared to Kosuke Maruboshi, who has deep strength and superb reconnaissance awareness, Matt Dai, who can even mess up C-level or even D-level missions, is a bit embarrassed.

Kosuke Maruboshi does not have a fixed teammate when performing missions.

In the C-level missions he participated in, most of his teammates were improvised.

This was also the reason why he became acquainted with this young chuunin.

But for such an ordinary old man who is considered to be very old in the high-risk profession of ninja, his popularity in Konoha is surprisingly good.

Not only ordinary villagers and genin, but even the current third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen favored this genin.

Being able to make an exception and allow him, as a genin, to carry out B-level missions alone also implies the Third Hokage's recognition of Maruboshi Kosuke's strength.

"Oh, by the way, just like Kosuke-senpai, a tonkotsu ramen."

The young chuunin realized that he was so busy talking that he even forgot to order ramen, so he hurriedly added to Uncle Ichiraku.

"Speaking of food, I kind of miss the meals that Kosuke-senpai cooked when we were on missions."

Before the ramen was ready, the young chuunin sat on a chair and complained:

"Although I can take on B-level missions now, my life is much more difficult than when I was a genin."

After seeing Kosuke, the young chuunin could no longer restrain his desire to complain. "Chewing Bingliang pills and Bingliang pills every day, what kind of day is this!"

Vaguely, the chunin in the vest seemed to feel the nauseating feeling after taking the Bingliang Pills.

Holding his thin but not hungry stomach, the chuunin lay on the table and began to miss the time when he was still a genin.

"If your team is unable to perform tasks due to lack of people, it is very likely that Senior Gusuke will become your temporary teammate."

The young chuunin said bleakly to the two Uchiha, and also expressed his feelings:

"I was lucky enough to carry out missions with Senior Gusuke."

“Even though it’s strange that Senior Gusuke is carrying a pot on his back when performing tasks, the food he makes is really delicious!”

The chuunin once again revealed his personal experience when he and Maruhoshi Kosuke performed a mission.

"And he is also very powerful. Although Kosuke-senpai has always been a genin, he is no less powerful than those elite superiors."

When talking about the mission that he and Kosuke Maruhoshi performed together, the chuunin couldn't help but become moved.

Facing the fire escape of the wandering ninja, Kosuke Maruhoshi only made two seals before releasing the B-level ninjutsu 'Water Release - Water Formation Wall'.

Such a powerful strength actually appeared in the "Ten Thousand Years Genin", which was a great shock to him as a genin at that time.

"Oh, the ramen is ready."

Maruboshi Kosuke's words interrupted the young chunin who wanted to continue speaking.

"Thank you for your hard work today, Gusuke!"

After greeting this frequent customer, Uncle Ichiraku took out the ramen noodles and cut off four thick slices of barbecued pork.

“Signature tonkotsu ramen.”

Uncle Ichiraku placed the 'tonkotsu ramen' that was almost overflowing with ingredients in front of Maruboshi Kosuke.

Maruhoshi Kosuke was not in a hurry to start, but made a request to Uchiha Toru.

"Can you lend me that ninja sword first?"

Looking at the firm eyes of the middle-aged man in front of him, Uchiha Toru understood something and directly handed over the ninja sword in his arms.

"Okay, but Fousuke-senpai."

Uchiha Toru had previously thought that this was just an ordinary ninja sword from the Senju clan during the Warring States Period.

However, judging from Maruboshi Kosuke's reaction, this ninja sword does not seem to be that simple.

"Please tell me first about the origin of this ninja sword."

After Uchiha Toru finished speaking, Uchiha Shisui, who had finished eating ramen, was also attracted by the conversation between Maruhoshi Kosuke and Uchiha Toru.

He followed Uchiha Cheru all afternoon and had no idea why he was carrying this broken ninja sword that was the same as the burden.

This ninja sword has always been around Uchiha Cheru. At present, all he knows about the ninja sword is the clan emblem of the 'Senju Clan' above.

Quickly taking the ninja sword, Kosuke Maruhoshi told the news he knew:
"I've seen exactly the same ninja sword at my teacher's place before. It's unmistakable."

"Not every Thousand Hands clan member is eligible to own this special style."

Maruboshi Kosuke carefully wiped the handle of the knife with his sleeve and held it tightly in his hand.

"Wait a minute, Fousuke-senpai, who is your teacher?"

Shisui brought up the confusion hidden in his heart.

But for teachers, Senju clan members and the like, plus what the young chuunin said before about the 'two-seal water formation wall'.

He roughly had the answer in his mind.

"The Second Hokage - Senju Tobirama"

(Except for Tobirama, he is the only ninja in the original novel who can release the water formation wall with only two seals)
