Chapter 68: Ishikawa Tree is a hero? Are you kidding me?

Three days later.

Land of Whirlpools, deep in the dense forest.

Inside a hidden cave, a small fire was burning.

Uchiha Jin and the other two were gathered around the fire.

While eating military rations to replenish their energy, they began to discuss the next plan of action.

"I really didn't expect Ishikawa Tree to die so miserably," Kudo Shin sighed repeatedly.

Nara Kazama, however, had a calm expression.

"When he chose to stay at the outpost and not act with us, many things were already destined."

"The situation at the time was clear: the Mist had already launched a massive attack, with a full four thousand Mist ninja hiding in the shadows of the Land of Whirlpools, and we in the Leaf didn't know anything about it."

"How could such important information be delayed because of one Ishikawa Tree?"

"I believe that even if Ishikawa Tree were alive, he would agree with our actions."

"After all, everything is for the village."

"Ishikawa Tree's sacrifice is worth it!"

"He will be engraved on the memorial stone and receive eternal offerings from the Leaf."

"Ishikawa Tree is a hero, living forever in our hearts."

Kudo Shin: "..."

He was completely dumbfounded.

His mouth opened slightly as he looked at Nara Kazama in disbelief.

Holy crap!

Was the truth of the matter actually like this?

His brain went blank, and he even felt like his memory had a problem.

But, that wasn't right!

It was clearly that everyone hated Ishikawa Tree, which is why they chose to ignore him, and one could even say they deliberately got him killed.

How did Nara Kazama just move his lips and change the meaning into this?

He became a hero?

Everyone would cherish his memory?

Screw that!

If Ishikawa Tree were still alive, he would definitely be cursing them out.

And he would surely roar that even as a ghost, he would never let you bastards go, right?

He was speechless!

And he instantly understood the fundamental reason why the Nara clan, despite not having high strength, could still become a major clan in the Leaf and be deeply trusted by the Hokage.

This mouth of his is truly powerful.

He could make the dead live, while he could only shout "Old Iron 666".

Actually, let alone him.

Even Uchiha Jin, who understood Nara Kazama, had a belly full of complaints but didn't know how to voice them.

This guy was definitely a talent.

Yes.

During these three days, the three of them.

Dodged countless pursuits by the Mist, wandered through the Land of Whirlpools countless times, and killed a full thirty-one Mist ninja.

They naturally passed by the outpost they had previously guarded and discovered Ishikawa Tree's corpse.

Only.

Considering that bringing his corpse back might lead to the Yamanaka clan planting memories in it.

Even if they destroyed Ishikawa Tree's brain, it would still leave a trace that could be detected.
