Two sets of notifications popped up in succession, and Liu Yun thought, Just as I expected.
As the famous "Eternal Genin," Maruboshi Kosuke hadn't had much screen time, but neither his strength nor his standing could be underestimated.
He had earned Tobirama Senju's recognition in his youth and learned advanced Water Release Ninjutsu.
For example, he could use Water Formation Wall with just two hand signs.
But a mistake during a mission had cost two teammates their lives. Overwhelmed with remorse, he had sworn to Tobirama Senju that he would remain a Genin for the rest of his life to atone.
He had lost an eye while on a mission with Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Hiruzen Sarutobi had thought highly of him and wanted to promote him to Jonin. After Kosuke refused, Hiruzen had taught him the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique.
During the Third Shinobi World War, he had lost a leg on a mission with Minato and later fitted a prosthetic leg containing Explosive Tags.
After Tsunade became the Fifth Hokage, she, too, had placed considerable trust in him, putting him in charge of Konoha's defense missions.
He had also gone on patrol with Naruto, staying behind alone against numerous enemies to cover Naruto's retreat.
His life could only be called legendary. He had witnessed almost everything from Konoha's founding to Naruto's rise, earning the deep trust of generations of Hokage.
The pot and the blade...
