Konoha's Hextech Ninja

Page 13

Like most older brothers in this world, Sarutobi Shinnosuke is a brother-complex.

Who made this a world created by a brother-obsessed individual?

There weren't many people that Sarutobi Shinnosuke cared about, but Sarutobi Asuma was one of them.

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately knew what was going on and said with a smile, "It's Yoruichi Yagami, isn't it? It's not a conflict, just kids bickering."

As he spoke, Hiruzen Sarutobi explained the so-called 'conflict' between the two of them.

As the nominal principal of the Ninja Academy, Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally had considerable control over the school. In addition, with his youngest son in this year's class, Hiruzen Sarutobi paid close attention and gained a deeper understanding of the school.

In short, Sarutobi Asuma has a vague affection for Yuhi Kurenai, but Yuhi Kurenai likes to stick close to Yagami Yoruichi, which makes Sarutobi Asuma very unhappy with Yagami Yoruichi.

In addition, Sarutobi Asuma was very unhappy because he had been defeated by Yagami Yoruichi several times in a row.

But in Hiruzen Sarutobi's view, these were just children playing around, nothing to worry about.

"I see." Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Shinnosuke felt relieved.

It's really not right for adults to interfere in children's squabbles.

If it's for the sake of power and profit, then doing some dirty work is one thing.

If you interfere in children's squabbles over girls, what will become of the Hokage's authority?

Besides, this isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Having a 'nemesis' might better motivate Sarutobi Asuma to grow rapidly.

It's not impossible for former enemies to become friends in the future.

Just like Jiraiya and Orochimaru back then.

If Sarutobi Asuma can grow rapidly in this way, and a commoner genius can be won over, it will naturally be very beneficial to the Sarutobi clan.

"I was originally planning to investigate, but since you say so, Father, it seems I don't need to get involved," Sarutobi Shinnosuke said with a smile. "However, judging from what you've said, Father, that child is very talented?"

“He’s very strong, even stronger than you.” Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, “He’s a lot like Minato. He’s also from a commoner background, and he has a huge amount of chakra and excellent physical qualities. The only thing he’s not as good as Minato is his combat instincts, but he learns very quickly.”

"Another Minato Namikaze?" Shinnosuke Sarutobi pondered. "We definitely need to win him over. Maybe we can arrange a tutor for him?"

The master-disciple relationship is the most stable relationship in Konoha, even surpassing that of clans and fathers and sons.

For a promising and talented individual, the best approach is undoubtedly to arrange for someone from one's own circle to be his teacher in advance and to win him over beforehand.

Don't be like Sakumo Hatake, who grew up entirely on his own, had no connection with the Hokage lineage, and instead had his own ideas, remaining detached from the Konoha leadership.

People like Minato Namikaze from the 'Hokage lineage' are good examples. Even if they have their own ideas, they will still listen to the Third Hokage's lineage under the principle of master-disciple loyalty.

“Arranging a suitable teacher would be great, but I can’t think of anyone right now.” Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep drag on his pipe, exhaling a large cloud of smoke, and said, “Actually, in terms of strength and age, Sakumo Hatake is the most suitable, but he…”

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and did not continue speaking.

But Sarutobi Shinnosuke understood what he meant.

Sakumo Hatake is not from the 'Naruto series'.

After making a name for himself in the Second Shinobi World War, he developed the idea of fighting for the interests of the common people and ninjas, which led to many disagreements with the ruling philosophy of the Konoha leadership.

Hiruzen Sarutobi would never allow someone like that to mentor a new generation of geniuses, lest it allow Sakumo Hatake's power to grow even stronger.

Now, Sakumo Hatake has already made the higher-ups feel troubled by his battle achievements and prestige among ordinary ninjas.

If Sakumo Hatake were to take on another genius disciple and cultivate a powerful young talent, his prestige might even threaten the Hokage!

"How about Minato?" Sarutobi Shinnosuke suggested a candidate: "Minato is Jiraiya's disciple, so he's practically your grand-disciple, Father. Besides, Father, didn't you say that Yagami Yoruichi looks a lot like a young Minato?"

“Minato’s strength is sufficient, and his identity is also fine, it’s just that he’s a bit young.” Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered, “However, if we wait a few years, it wouldn’t be a big problem for Minato to take on a disciple. The only concern is that this kid might want to graduate early, in which case we’d have to arrange a mentor for him.”

The Second Shinobi World War has largely ended, but some local battlefields remain in a state of prolonged stalemate.

In this situation, the village not only does not prohibit students from graduating early from the ninja academy, but also encourages them.

For a genius like Yoruichi Yagami, it's perfectly normal to graduate early if there's nothing left to learn at the Ninja Academy.

"If all else fails, I'll take care of him myself," Sarutobi Shinnosuke couldn't help but joke.

But he also knew that as the captain of the dark unit, he couldn't possibly act as a team leader.

The Anbu and ordinary ninjas are not part of the same system.

"Don't make jokes like that." Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and said, "Your presence in the Anbu is more important to me. In the next few years, I will find a way to remove Danzo from his position and let you take control of the Anbu. The Anbu is related to the control of the intelligence system, and it is the sharpest knife in the Hokage's hands. You must help me wield this knife well."

The current head of the Anbu is still Danzo.

Despite having the support of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shinnosuke Sarutobi seized most of Danzo's power as the 'Captain of the Anbu', forcing Danzo's core forces to shrink back to the 'Root'.

However, seizing the position of head of the secret service is not an easy task; a suitable opportunity must be found.

At this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi would never allow Shinnosuke Sarutobi to leave the Anbu.

"I'll consider the matter of Yagami Yoruichi; you don't need to get involved." Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand and said, "As for Asuma, spend more time with him. Also, teach him a few suitable Fire Release techniques from the Sarutobi clan and Wind Release techniques from the village. Since he's obsessed with defeating Yagami Yoruichi, this is a good opportunity to squeeze Asuma's potential out of him."

“That’s exactly what I was thinking.” Sarutobi Shinnosuke said with a smile, “Asuma’s talent is actually quite good, he’s just a bit lazy. Now it’s a good opportunity to put some pressure on him.”

Chapter 20 The Lost Chapter

Time flies.

Yagami Yoruichi's daily routine has remained largely unchanged.

He attends classes during the day, trains with Kurenai Yuhi at night, and then trains alone all day on weekends.

In the second month's monthly exam, Yagami Yoruichi once again easily took first place.

However, this time, there will be no 'extra' rewards.

Nobuyuki Imai was just an ordinary Chunin, and he didn't know many ninjutsu. Naturally, he couldn't possibly teach Yoruichi Yagami a ninjutsu every time he got first place in the monthly exam.

The Water Release: Water Chaos Wave ninjutsu is enough for Yagami Yoruichi to study for a while.

It's just a basic casting; for someone with Yoruichi Yagami's talent, it's a complete waste.

The most appropriate approach would be to fully master this ninjutsu and then further develop it into a unique "Water Chaos Wave" style that belongs solely to Yoruichi Yagami.

Every ninjutsu, in order to perfectly suit itself, must undergo a process of continuous development and improvement.

Just like the Rasengan in the hands of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze and in the hands of Naruto Uzumaki are completely different things.

To become a true powerhouse, one must refine at least the most core ninjutsu to suit their own strength, regardless of all other ninjutsu techniques, in order to maximize their potential.

After more than a month, Yagami Yotsuichi's progress in improving Water Release: Water Chaos Wave was not ideal.

The main reason is that I lack the ability to control chakra and the mastery of chakra nature transformation. I spend most of my time training in these two areas.

Once these two aspects are improved, improving ninjutsu will become a natural thing to do.

In terms of physical skills, without Ikkaku Umino's sparring partner, Yoruichi Yagami's progress has slowed down considerably, but she still maintains a significant lead over her classmates.

……

Ring ring.

The alarm clock rings, and a new day begins.

As Yagami Yoruichi opened his eyes, a system notification popped up automatically.

[Gain 19 gold and 5 spell power.]

A quick glance at the system panel showed that the gold coin balance had reached 1204.

In two months, thanks to the Hextech stats of "Red Envelopes", Yoruichi Yagami didn't accumulate many stats, but she did accumulate a lot of gold coins.

1200 gold coins isn't enough to buy a complete set of equipment, but it's enough to buy the first key component of the first set of equipment.

Yagami Yoruichi opened the shop interface, searched around, and directly spent 1200 gold coins to buy [The Lost Chapter].

【遗失的章节：+40法术强度、300查克拉上限、10技能急速。‘启蒙’：击杀敌人时，在3秒内恢复相当于查克拉上限20%的查克拉。】

There are some minor changes to the attributes and gameplay, the biggest being the 'Enlightenment' passive ability, which has changed from being triggered by leveling up to being triggered by killing enemies.

Other attributes remain unchanged.

Yagami Yoruichi placed the "Lost Chapter" in her equipment slot and immediately noticed a change in her body, with all her attributes increasing slightly.

A chakra cap of 300 points isn't much, but combined with the Hextech ability "From Mind to Matter," it also boosts Yoruichi Yagami's physique, resulting in a significant overall improvement.

Yagami Yoruichi opened the system panel to check her attributes.
