Konoha's Hextech Ninja

Chapter 2 My Shadow, Your Regret

I closed the system interface and opened my eyes again. The empty classroom was now full.

Yagami Yoruichi glanced at the characters and instantly recognized several highly recognizable ones.

Before he could think about it, a middle-aged man wearing a ninja headband walked into the classroom.

"Quiet down!"

The middle-aged ninja picked up a piece of chalk and wrote the name "Nobuyuki Imai" in large characters on the blackboard. He introduced himself, saying, "I am your teacher and the homeroom teacher of Class 1-A."

"Today is the first day of school, so we won't have any specific classes. Everyone will take turns introducing themselves and getting to know each other..."

Nobuyuki Imai was interrupted halfway through his sentence by a voice from the doorway: "Sorry, I'm late!"

A boy wearing goggles and a dark blue trench coat arrived breathlessly, apologizing repeatedly.

“Being late on the first day of school isn’t a good habit, but I’ll forgive you this time.” Nobuyuki Imai didn’t say much, but simply let the boy into the classroom and said, “Since you’re late, let’s start by introducing yourself. Name, things you like or dislike, dreams, and so on.”

"Hi, hi!"

The boy wasn't shy at all. He stood confidently on the stage, his gaze sweeping over the crowd below, and declared loudly, "My name is Uchiha Obito. I like helping those in need, I hate being looked down upon, and my dream is to become Hokage!"

Uchiha... Obito.

As Yagami Yoruichi looked at the cheerful and sunny boy on the podium, a slight stirring stirred in her heart.

This 'mastermind' who would later stir up trouble in the ninja world is still a very young child.

Should we do something in advance?

A thought suddenly arose in Yagami Yoruichi's mind, but she quickly dismissed it.

With the template of the Heavenly Emperor in place, Yagami Yoruichi's goal has never been within this ninja world.

No matter how strong a ninja is, their peak period is only a few decades.

What Yagami Yoruichi wanted was to achieve immortality, just like those Otsutsuki who planted trees on countless planets.

"My name is Kakashi Hatake. I love becoming stronger, I don't hate anything, and my dream is to revitalize the Hatake clan!"

"My name is Sarutobi Asuma..."

"My name is Kurenai Yuhi..."

The sight of familiar characters from the original work appearing vividly before her gave Yagami Yoruichi an indescribable sense of unease.

However, at this point in time, the performances of many characters are quite different from those in the original work.

The ninja world's ultimate boss, Obito, was still a sunny and cheerful boy; Kakashi Hatake hadn't become a lazy bum who only knew how to read erotic novels; and Asuma Sarutobi wasn't yet the decadent, bearded man he would become in the future...

Looking at these 'anime characters' that appeared vividly before her eyes, Yagami Yoruichi finally realized that she had been in this world for a full six years.

Because he was sitting in the very corner of the classroom, Yagami Yoruichi was the last one to go up to the podium to introduce himself.

"My name is Yagami Yoruichi. I like food and training, and there's nothing I particularly dislike. As for my dream..." Yagami Yoruichi paused, not revealing her true thoughts, but casually said, "My dream is to eat all the delicious food in the ninja world and become an excellent ninja."

……

the other side.

The Hokage's office.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was not yet old, was still 'spying' on things with his crystal ball.

"They're all pretty good kids." Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled as he looked at the new class of ninja academy students.

The students of this ninja academy are among the most outstanding in terms of talent since the founding of Konoha.

They were even better than the Sannin and Minato Namikaze from the same generation.

Judging solely from the geniuses who have already shown their talent, they are almost comparable to the generation led by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and Hiruzen Sarutobi.

This also made Hiruzen Sarutobi feel very gratified, marveling at how Konoha had become increasingly powerful under his leadership.

"Teacher, I've achieved some of your success by now, haven't I?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought to himself with satisfaction, "Besides, the batch you led back then were all geniuses from major clans. But this year, the Hatake clan only has a father and son left. They're called ninjas, but in reality, they're no different from commoners. The kid from the Might Guy clan has amazing taijutsu talent, and this Yoruichi Yagami, at only six years old, already has chakra reserves comparable to a Jonin. With proper guidance, she might become a talent in her own right. Geniuses from commoners are far more important than geniuses from ninja clans!"

For a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi was lost in a beautiful dream of surpassing his teacher, the Second Hokage.

"boom!"

The door was suddenly kicked open, waking Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Danzo Shimura, half his body wrapped in bandages, burst into the office and shouted, "Hiruzen, I heard there are some promising talents among this year's ninja academy students? My Root is short-handed..."

"Don't even think about it!" Hiruzen Sarutobi knew what Danzo Shimura was going to say halfway through the conversation and refused without hesitation: "Didn't you just take dozens of children away from the orphanage a while ago?! Forget about the ninja academy, I have my own arrangements!"

asshole!

Danzo Shimura's heart sank. He had taken a group of orphans from the orphanage, but he did it secretly. How could he not have kept it from Hiruzen Sarutobi?

It seems that although the Root is powerful, it is still far inferior to the Anbu, which is personally controlled by Hiruzen Sarutobi. Even such a small matter could not be kept from the Anbu's spies.

"Hiruzen, everything I've done is for Konoha!" Shimura Danzo tried to explain: "Root is short-handed. To cultivate reliable people, we must train them from a young age."

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled dismissively: "So when you took those children from the orphanage, I didn't stop you. But don't even think about taking these kids from the Ninja Academy!"

The orphans in the orphanage all came from outside Konoha and could not be considered true 'one of Konoha'. It wouldn't matter if they were given to Shimura Danzo.

However, although some of the children at the Ninja Academy were war orphans, their parents were all Konoha ninjas, and they were all pure 'Konoha people', so Danzo naturally couldn't take them away.

—Those who are not orphans left behind by Konoha ninjas have no right to enter Konoha's ninja academy.

Those orphans outside can be thrown to Danzo to do whatever he wants with; it doesn't matter if they die.

Anyway, Yakushi Nonou's orphanage was just a vanity project to show off Konoha's 'grand village spirit'.

But if something happens to the orphans of the Konoha ninja, that would be a very serious matter!

Hiruzen Sarutobi knew very well where the foundation of his power lay.

"There are some things I can't be bothered with, but that doesn't mean I don't know them. Don't cross the line, Danzo!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at Danzo Shimura and said, enunciating each word clearly, "Remember, I am the Hokage!"

"You!" Shimura Danzo's anger surged, and he subconsciously retorted, "You'll regret this, Hiruzen!"

After saying this, without waiting for Hiruzen Sarutobi's reply, Danzo Shimura slammed the door and left.

boom!

The door slammed against the doorframe with a loud bang.

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "..."

Chapter 3: Becoming Kurenai's Desk Mate

"Wake up, wake up!"

A gentle voice rang in Yagami Yoruichi's ear.

Yagami Yoruichi groggily opened her eyes, looked at the little girl with black hair and red eyes in front of her, and asked, "Is school over?"

Her deskmate, Yuhi Kurenai, rolled her eyes and said, "It's time for the practical class. Don't you remember? You were the one who told me to wake you up before the practical class started."

"Oh, oh, I remember now, thank you." Yagami Yoruichi quickly thanked him.

Yoruichi Yagami had no interest in attending the brainwashing course "The Will of Fire".

The textbooks that Yagami Yoruichi received when he registered for school the day before were flipped through by him as soon as he got home.

The other courses were fine, but this "Will of Fire" course used about half a page to introduce the First Hokage's deeds of pacifying the chaotic world and the Second Hokage's deeds of ending the First Shinobi World War. The rest of the content was almost 99% about praising the various deeds of the Third Hokage.

Its level of nausea is comparable to that of Yagami Yoruichi's previous life, when the neighboring peninsula country lauded that 'great sun'.

Yagami Yoruichi really wanted to ask Hiruzen Sarutobi, what makes him so worthy of calling himself the 'Strongest Hokage'?

Could it be that they've never seen Hashirama Senju's Wood Release before?

Anyway, Yagami Yoichi had absolutely no interest in listening to these kinds of lessons and would just go to sleep.

However, there's no escaping the practical lessons.

"Is the practical lesson now? Let's go." Yagami Yoruichi looked at the classroom, which was almost empty, and called to Yuhi Kurenai to walk towards the playground together.

After a short while, everyone arrived.

Nobuyuki Imai stood in the center of the playground.

"The fact that you were able to enroll means you've already refined your chakra, so I won't teach anything too basic," Nobuyuki Imai said confidently. "The first-year practical training mainly focuses on taijutsu and shuriken throwing. Today, I'll teach you Konoha-style chakra techniques, a type of steel fist taijutsu..."

Nobuyuki Imai demonstrated several times, then let the students practice on their own. He observed each student's movements and pointed out their mistakes.

Despite having a cheat code, once the three-year period is up, Yagami Yoruichi can immediately ascend to heaven by stepping on his right foot with his left, becoming a super numerical monster.

But Yoruichi Yagami didn't slack off either, and diligently learned the Leaf Village Fluid Technique.

It's important to know that the ninja world is far from peaceful these days.

Even in these relatively peaceful times, there have been major incidents such as the kidnapping of Kushina Uzumaki by the Hidden Cloud Village and the forced suicide of Sakumo Hatake by the Hidden Leaf Village.

This is not the same concept as the 'absolute peace' during the growth period of the later protagonist Naruto Uzumaki.

Even if you have cheat codes, you still have to wait until you have all six legendary items before you can 'ascend'.

Before that, at best, he was just a genius with some talent.

Before talent is translated into ability, it is nothing.

Mastering more combat skills will greatly increase your chances of survival if you encounter danger in the future.

"Here, don't raise your elbows too high, otherwise it will affect your power."

Nobuyuki Imai patted Yoruichi Yagami's arm, adjusting her punching motion: "Try it like this again."

Yagami Yoruichi adjusted her posture as instructed and threw a punch.

Sure enough, the force of the punches became much smoother, and the power of the punches seemed to have increased.

"Thank you, teacher," Yagami Yoruichi said sincerely.

In this ninja world where everyone cherishes their own knowledge, even something as basic as Konoha Flow Techniques, if a teacher is willing to teach students seriously, they are worthy of being called a qualified teacher.

Although this is Konoha's rule, teaching casually and perfunctorily is completely different for students from carefully correcting every tiny mistake.
