Naruto: Konoha’s Story- The Steam Ninja Scrolls chapter 12 emphasizes on how Mirai has chapter 11 followed Mirai and Tatsumi’s journey to commute with the dead. There were a lot of interactions between both girls and we got to see Mirai’s desire to actually know more about her father. The Steam Ninja Scrolls chapter 12 is titled ’Taking up the mantle’ telling fans what happens next after her journey across the forest to learn more about her dad accompanying Tatsumi in the process. If you haven’t read Naruto: Konoha’s Story- The Steam Ninja Scrolls chapter 12 or watched the Mirai arc in the Boruto anime, remember this article will contain major spoilers.
Ryuki
The chapter kicks off with Mirai taking off her cape revealing herself to the foes. They are scared because she’s a leaf shinobi as Ryuki points out that. Ryuki out of anger calls Tatsumi a fool for bringing a shinobi to their hideout. Tatsumi questions Mirai but Mirai asks Ryuki why he’s abducted so many people, what he needs these women for and what his plans are. Ryyuki tells Mirai he wants to lead the world to a better place but she replies asking’Through Human Sacrifices?’.
Ryuki accepts telling her that’s what it takes to obtain tremendous power. Ryuki is doing this to become immortal and surpass all life on the planet. Ryuki is cheered on by his followers. Tatsumi cries because she believed all his lies about being able to heal the sick. Tatsumi realizes he also lied when he said she gets to meet her mom. Ryuki tells her he wasn’t lying per say additionally saying ’Kill Thy Neighbor as the way Jashin Instructs’ trying to kill her because he believes that’s how Tatsumi gets to see her mom. She swings his weapon at her trying to attack her but Mirai saves Tatsumi by pulling her away. Mirai got a cut on her arm while trying to save her. Mirai hearing what he said asks if Ryuki is a follower of Jashin. The name Jashin is popular in the franchise because he/she or it is Hidan’s god. Hidan of the Akatsuki worships Jashin.
Hidan
Mirai envisions the past, it’s a flashback. She’s reading about Jashin and its cult on a scroll. ’A new age religion that approves of murder which originated in the land of steam’ . In this flashback, Mirai’s aware the person who killed her father is a Jashin cultist with text ’Hidan’ on it. She leaves as someone approaches eavesdropping with text Hidan the Man with an Immortal Body as the flashback ends.
Ryuki tells Mirai she must have great knowledge of the master because she’s from Hidden leaf. Mirai replies calling him the ’The Immortal Butcher of Yagakure’ pointing out he(Hidan) called her father. Ryuki talks about how citizens from Konoha and the land of steam misunderstood his master (Hidan). He tells her Hidan suffered but Jashin saved him. According to Ryuki, Hidan performed the ritual achieving immortality and freed the land of steam from the shackles of peace with no one on his side. He lived the proper way of life which was to ’fight and kill’ with Mirai’s father (Asuma) dying in the process. Ryuki is upset because the world is still peaceful. Mirai laughing in the process says she believes no one would live in a world of his making saying because she will stop him.
Mirai's Learns Wind Release
Ryuki’s followers start attacking Mirai but she’s beating them. There are over 4 of them and she’s taking the on all at once. They also have weapons so she has to be careful. Mirai gets a flashback of Shikamaru telling her how to form wind release while fighting (similar to Asuma) .Shikamaru said To form a wind release, imagine splitting your chakra into two parts rubbing them together like you’re finely sharpening the two chakra against each other. A follower tries attacking but Mirai kills him by shooting several Kunai’s in his body.
Mirai recalls: Shikamaru telling her he will teach her every jutsu he saw Asuma use while fighting. She propels herself up using a foe’s weapon; she pours chakra into her blades (recalling what shikamaru said in the past) and instantly defeats all of them by slashing coming down. It was called Flying Swallow. She goes after the others using wind style on her blades to easily beat them. Ryuki shocked asks others to go after her but they are scared. Because the rest of his followers are so scared, he called them useless. The chapter ends with Mirai telling Ryuki ’this ends now’.
Closure
Mirai has finally learnt how to combine wind style with her blades. Shikamaru must’ve been very attentive to recall Asuma’s move set after all these years and even teaching Mirai. I think it also has to do with the love he had for Asuma. Regardless, Shikamaru explaining this to Mirai is honestly a blessing and one of those moments to be cherished in the franchise.
