Konoha's Hextech Ninja

Over the past three years, Yoruichi Yagami has maxed out the skill proficiency of more than twenty heroes, earning them their 'unique rewards'.

Including heroes like Aatrox and Zyra, whose proficiency was already maxed out, Yagami Yoruichi has obtained the corresponding rewards for all eighteen 'God-level' hero templates.

In addition, there are nearly ten 'superhuman' and 'mortal' level heroes.

These heroes' unique abilities, along with additional exclusive rewards, allowed Yoruichi Yagami to find several directions to break through to the Six Paths level.

Although it's just a direction, taking that step will still require arduous effort, but at least we've seen hope.

Not counting the paths in the ninja world.

There are several breakthrough paths derived solely from hero templates.

One is the 'Ascension Ceremony'.

By using Viktor's passive ability, Hextech Shards, as substitute materials, one can perform an Ascension Ritual to ascend and become a demigod.

However, this path has a drawback: demigods who ascend through the 'Ascension Ritual' all represent the symbol of some kind of animal.

For example, the Tsar's 'Eagle', Nasus's 'Wolf', Renekton's 'Crocodile', and so on.

After ascending to demigod status, one's form will undergo a dramatic transformation, with the head taking the shape of the animal it symbolizes.

Yoruichi Yagami certainly didn't want to have a dog's head or any other animal's head on her back.

Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary and there is no other way to advance, and there is a powerful enemy that must be advanced to the Six Paths level to deal with, Yagami Yoruichi would never consider this path to break through.

Apart from the relatively easy 'Ascension Ceremony', the other paths to breaking through to demigod level, or the Six Paths level, are much more difficult.

To be precise, only a few hero templates have this potential.

First up are the sisters Kyle and Morgana.

By fusing Kayle's and Morgana's two diametrically opposed powers into one, one can obtain the true and complete Protoss power.

In some ways, this is similar to the 'unity of yin and yang' in the ninja world.

The 'light' represented by the angel of justice, Kyle, corresponds to the Yang Release technique in the ninja world.

The 'darkness' represented by the fallen angel Morgana corresponds to the Yin Release technique in the ninja world.

When the two are combined, it becomes the Yin-Yang Escape, which can only be truly mastered by those at the Six Paths level.

Of course, by taking this path, one does not master the true Yin-Yang Escape, but rather the power of the 'Justice Star Spirit'.

In addition, the four hero templates—Foygo the Ruined King, Malzahar the Void Prophet, and Zilean the Time Keeper—have the potential to advance to a higher level after obtaining their respective 'exclusive rewards'.

The breakthrough methods of the Ruined King Folyegor and the Void Prophet Malzahar are very similar. The former needs to use the black mist created by the 'Curse of Ruined King' to erode and assimilate this world and expand his 'domain'.

Once a domain has absorbed enough matter and life, it will naturally increase its power and status.

Malzahar, the Void Prophet, follows a similar path, the difference being that he needs to use the power of the 'Void' to assimilate this world and absorb the assimilated areas and life into his body.

In theory, there is no upper limit to either of these promotion methods.

As for Zilean, the Time Guardian, after Yoruichi Yagami maxed out all four of the hero's abilities to 'perfect level', she obtained a magic book called "The Book of Time".

This book contains the supreme magic that can truly distort and even control time.

Through these magical means, one can travel through the river of time, walking through the past, present, and future, and exploring the mysteries of 'time'.

If one can grasp some of the mysteries of time, breaking through to demigod level, or even higher, is just around the corner.

However, these breakthroughs are only theoretically feasible.

In reality, there are extremely high barriers to entry for implementation.

Whichever one you want to complete, the difficulty is frighteningly high.

Take, for example, the Book of Time. Yagami Yoru couldn't even understand the magic spells and techniques inside, let alone master them.

It's not a language barrier, it's just that the difficulty level is too high.

Yoruichi Yagami even suspected that Zilean from the League of Legends world had not mastered even the simplest time-manipulation spell on it.

"Currently, the Ascension Ritual is the easiest, followed by the 'assimilation' of Foygo and Malzahar, but the Ascension Ritual has too many flaws, and the assimilation route comes at the cost of destroying a world."

Yagami Yoruichi was somewhat conflicted.

Destroying a world just for the sake of advancement is something even Yagami Yoruichi, who doesn't care much about killing, finds hard to accept.

Moreover, this is only a breakthrough to demigod status.

If we want to break through to a higher level, we need to erode and assimilate more of the world.

At that point, it won't be a matter of just one or two worlds anymore.

However, Kieran's "The Book of Time," the guardian of time, has too high a barrier to entry.

Yagami Yoruichi estimated that if he couldn't fill in the gaps in his 'magic' foundation, no matter how much time he spent, he would never be able to get started.

This is, after all, a completely different system from ninjutsu and chakra.

The hero template that Yagami Yoruichi obtained transformed the skills that originally belonged to the category of 'magic' into chakra-based skills similar to ninjutsu under the system's power.

In terms of magic, Yagami Yoruichi knows absolutely nothing.

This is equivalent to asking a toddler who hasn't even learned 1+1 to study multidimensional topology.

After some research, it turns out that only the path of Kayle and Morgana is the most suitable for Yoruichi Yagami.

Simply by delving into the essence of the two powers and integrating them into one, there are also similarities with the ninja world's system.

There's no need to bear any moral burden yet.

"Let's focus on this direction and let the clones do the research. Take some from the clones that are researching sealing techniques."

Yagami Yoruichi formed hand seals and created a group of clones. He then gave each clone a task: to study the essence of Kayle's 'power of light' and Morgana's 'power of darkness' and to try to find a way to combine the two powers.

This matter certainly cannot be completed in a short period of time.

Yoruichi Yagami wasn't in a hurry.

It would be best if we could gain something from it.

If it really doesn't work out, there's still plenty of time to change direction.

With Zyra's abilities, Yoruichi Yagami, although she has not yet broken through to the Six Paths level, has a lifespan comparable to that of the Otsutsuki clan, giving her ample time to try every possible way to improve her strength.

……

In the afternoon, Yagami Yoruichi went to the Ninja Academy again to pick up Uzumaki Karin and Hyuga Hinata.

Given the precocious nature of ninjas, the two girls were perfectly capable of getting home on their own.

The safety inside Konoha is quite high.

However, Yoruichi Yagami's main purpose was to also meet Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.

Let's see if the Ashura and Indra chakra within these two 'chosen ones' will manifest after they meet.

At the entrance of the ninja school.

Karin Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga walked out side by side.

Upon seeing Yagami Yoruichi, both girls showed expressions of surprise and quickened their pace to approach her.

Behind them were their classmates from Class A.

Yagami Yoruichi glanced around and saw several familiar faces.

"Lord Yoruichi."

"Big brother!"

The two girls greeted Yagami Yoruichi politely.

From their first meeting, Hinata Hyuga called Yoruichi Yagami "big brother".

Karin Uzumaki, following Kaori Uzumaki's lead, addressed Yoruichi Yagami as "Master" and considered herself Yoruichi's subordinate.

Yagami Yoruichi didn't rush to take them away. She glanced at the dejected Naruto Uzumaki and the anxious Sasuke Uchiha, who was in a hurry to get home, and asked the two girls, "How's it feeling to go to school?"

"Not a single one of them could fight!" Karin Uzumaki said proudly, "In today's practical lesson, I beat them all to a pulp!"

Yagami Yoichi: "..."

Karin Uzumaki's talent is undeniable. Under Yoruichi Yagami's tutelage, she has no nutritional deficiencies and her physical condition is countless times better than in the original work.

Even after learning how to refine chakra, he quickly developed a chakra level comparable to that of an elite Jonin.

After two years of growth, his chakra reserves are approaching Kage level.

This also made Yoruichi Yagami marvel at the absurd physical talent of the Uzumaki clan.

Aside from Yoruichi Yagami herself, who was overpowered, the only other people who had ever seen Kage-level chakra at the age of six were Kaori Uzumaki, Karin Uzumaki, and Naruto Uzumaki.

Based solely on her chakra reserves, as long as Karin Uzumaki knows how to use chakra to enhance her taijutsu during battle, even if her skills in this area are crude and appalling, she will absolutely not lose to any of her peers.

Even geniuses like Hyuga Neji or Uchiha Sasuke are no exception.

A punch imbued with a large amount of chakra is something that ordinary people cannot withstand.

It could even be said that in the ninja academy, those who could stand up after taking a punch from Karin Uzumaki were all top geniuses in taijutsu.

only.

What gave Yagami Yoruichi a headache was how Uzumaki Karin developed such a mafia boss-like personality.

Thinking this to herself, but seeing Karin Uzumaki's expression that begged for praise, Yoruichi Yagami still smiled, reached out and ruffled her hair, saying, "Well done."

While talking to Karin Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, carrying his schoolbag, jogged past the three of them.

With a flick of his finger, Yagami Yoru sent a blast of chakra into Uchiha Sasuke's body.

The latter paused for a moment, looking puzzled.

"Hmm?" Sasuke Uchiha felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

He hesitated for a few seconds, but still couldn't find anything unusual, so he shook his head and continued running towards home.

In that short time, the chakra that Yagami Yoruichi unleashed had already circulated through Uchiha Sasuke's body once.

"The Yin Release power is noticeably stronger than it was a few days ago. Is it because we encountered Naruto? But we still haven't found Indra's chakra..."

Yagami Yoruichi glanced at Uchiha Sasuke's departing figure out of the corner of her eye, pondering to herself.

Using the same tactic again, he unleashed another burst of chakra to search Naruto's body, but again found little.
