Konoha's Hextech Ninja

As she was thinking, a thought suddenly popped into Yagami Yoruichi's mind: "That's right, if I could activate the Byakugan, I'd be a great sniper! Using long-range weapons like bows and arrows to attack from several kilometers away would be perfect for the Hyuga clan!"

Yagami Yoruichi is also quite skilled at archery.

Among the first batch of heroes for whom Yagami Yoruichi maxed out their skill proficiency, there was one who used a bow, Varus.

In order to master this hero's skills, Yagami Yoruichi specifically practiced archery for a period of time.

Although the time was short, with the support of thousands of clones, it was equivalent to the effect of an ordinary ninja training for decades.

In this ninja world, it's perfectly acceptable for Yagami Yoruichi to call herself a 'master of archery'.

However, to use a bow and arrow for long-range sniping, you must first activate the Byakugan.

Another sufficiently strong bow is also essential.

Ordinary ninja tools cannot achieve the effect of sniping enemies from several kilometers away.

As Yagami Yoruichi pondered, he had already roughly determined his training plan for Hinata Hyuga.

Lightning Release is the primary technique, with bows and arrows as secondary methods.

The two can also be combined.

For example, lightning can be attached to arrows using a method similar to 'Chidori Stream'.

However, there's no need to make it too complicated now; just lay a simple foundation.

If you don't build a solid foundation, you won't learn anything.

“Let’s start with the most basic chakra control.” After finalizing the plan, Yagami Yoruichi said to Hyuga Hinata, “I’ll teach you how to control your own chakra first…”

Hinata Hyuga's chakra control isn't bad for a six-year-old, but it's far inferior to that of a real ninja; she can't even reach the basics of learning to climb a tree.

However, Yoruichi Yagami was very patient and taught him step by step from the very basics.

Aside.

Mitarashi Anko initially watched with great interest, but soon found it boring.

She mastered the basics of this ninja academy in just one day back then.

Even if she was considered an 'experiment' by Orochimaru, Mitarashi Anko's talent was exceptionally outstanding to be chosen as his disciple.

Even purely in terms of talent, without considering bloodline limits, she is much stronger than Hinata Hyuga.

“Your student…” Mitarashi Anko, though a bit blunt, wasn’t really stupid. She realized her mistake before speaking and changed her question to, “Is this all you teach?”

“What I mean is…” Mitarashi Anko asked, “Aren’t you going to teach me some more powerful ninjutsu or something?”

Yagami Yoruichi shook his head and said, "If you don't build a solid foundation, it's all for nothing to learn any ninjutsu."

As her strength increased, Yoruichi Yagami became increasingly aware of the importance of 'foundation'.

Only by laying a solid foundation can the improvement of strength be truly stable.

Otherwise, even if one forcibly learns a few powerful ninjutsu, it would be like pulling up seedlings to help them grow, and would actually lower their future potential.

Of course, for some exceptionally talented geniuses, these parts can be skipped entirely.

Because they don't need to learn the basics at all, they can naturally reach a 'perfect' level.

However, while Hinata Hyuga's talent is good, it hasn't reached such a monstrous level yet, and she still needs to start learning from the most basic chakra control.

"But it looks so boring." Mitarashi Anko had expected to see some amazing moves, but she didn't expect Yagami Yoruichi to teach her something so simple.

I wish I hadn't come!

Mitarashi Anko felt a pang of frustration, but since she was already there, it seemed inappropriate to just turn around and leave.

Her eyes darted around, and she looked at Yagami Yoruichi, saying, "How about we have a spar?"

"A friendly spar? Are you sure it's a friendly spar?" Yagami Yoru looked at Mitarashi Anko with a strange expression.

Have you forgotten how I utterly defeated you the first time we met?

Seeing the look in Yagami Yoruichi's eyes, Mitarashi Anko blushed and quickly said, "You're not allowed to use your full strength. Just use the strength of an ordinary Jonin. I don't believe I'll lose this time!"

"You're just a Chunin, you can't win against a Jonin, can you?" Yagami Yoruichi teased.

"Stop nagging!" Mitarashi Anko instantly bristled, complaining, "I just haven't completed enough missions, that's why I can't be promoted! In terms of strength, I'm definitely at the level of a Jonin!"

Yagami Yoruichi didn't believe that statement at all.

A few years later, when Mitarashi Anko reaches her peak, she will only be a Special Jonin.

This could be because Hiruzen Sarutobi's faction distrusted her, given her past as Orochimaru's disciple, and deliberately suppressed her.

However, her performance in the few times she did take action was not very convincing.

And right now, Mitarashi Anko, who hasn't even reached her peak yet, is even less likely to have the strength of a Jonin.

"I have no interest in bullying children."

Yoruichi Yagami shook her head and said, "If you want to fight, you can play with my summoned beast."

"Summoning beasts?" Mitarashi Anko's eyes lit up: "I'm also good at summoning jutsu, how about we have a contest of that!"

"The giant serpent from Ryuchi Cave?" Yagami Yoruichi glanced at Mitarashi Anko, didn't object, and nodded, saying, "Alright, let's have the summoned beasts fight it out. Let's find another place; this place is too small."

With that, Yagami Yoruichi placed his hand on Mitarashi Anko's shoulder and activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, teleporting her to another training ground.

Chapter 240 Hongdou's Special Physique?

"Awoo~!"

The little dragon flew in the sky, letting out a childish "roar" as it continuously spewed fireballs from its mouth.

The fireball is only the size of a fist, and its attack power is slightly weaker than that of a normal D-rank ninjutsu. A ninja can blast it apart with a single punch by attaching chakra to his fist.

But the sheer number of fireballs was overwhelming.

With a single opening of its mouth, a series of fireballs shot out.

Among the densely packed fireballs, each about the size of a fist, there were occasionally larger fireballs, some several meters in diameter.

Mitarashi Anko had never seen anything like this before. She was exhausted from the bombardment of fireballs and summoned giant snakes as shields, but she could only hold out for a little over ten minutes before she could no longer hold on.

Seeing that Mitarashi Anko was about to give up, Yagami Yoruichi immediately looked up and called out, "Smolder, that's enough, come down!"

"Awoo~!"

Charmander swooped down and flew to Yoruichi Yagami's side. With a powerful flap of its wings, it hovered in mid-air for a few seconds before landing steadily. It stretched its neck and buried its head in Yoruichi's arms, rubbing against him vigorously.

"This little thing is so clingy." Yagami Yoruichi patted the little fire dragon, extracted a ball of fire-attribute chakra, and gathered it in his palm.

The little dragon opened its mouth and swallowed the chakra in Yagami Yoruichi's hand in one gulp, revealing an incredibly human-like expression on its face, which looked like it was smiling.

"Burp~!" Charmander burped, exhaling a stream of hot air, and his eyelids began to droop, looking sleepy.

"I'm full and I want to sleep." Yagami Yoruichi smiled and patted Charmander's head, saying, "Go back and rest."

"Awoo~!" The little dragon nuzzled its head into Yoruichi Yagami's arms a few times before dispelling the summoning and disappearing with a bang.

After seeing the little dragon off, Yagami Yoruichi walked towards Mitarashi Anko.

"Are you alright?" Yagami Yoruichi asked, looking at Mitarashi Anko sitting on the ground, panting heavily. "You shouldn't be hurt, right?"

"My chakra is being used up quite a bit." Mitarashi Anko let out a heavy breath, looking at Yagami Yoruichi as if she were a monster: "Your summoning beast is just as monstrous as you!"

That high-frequency fireball bombardment, while technically simple, carries astonishing significance.

Only those with an abundance of chakra, so much so that they don't care about the consumption, would choose such an extravagant, almost wasteful, fighting style.

Thinking of this, Mitarashi Anko couldn't help but ask, "Besides breathing fire, what else can your summoned beast do?"

"It's gone. It can only breathe fire." Yoruichi Yagami shook her head.

However, what Yoruichi Yagami didn't mention is that Charmander's 'fire breath' actually has several variations.

Mitarashi Anko only saw the two most basic types of fireballs.

One is a small fireball, about the size of a fist, used as a 'normal attack', with a destructive power equivalent to a ninja tool thrown by an ordinary Chunin.

One is a ninjutsu comparable to that of a top-tier fire-style ninja, a large fireball several meters in diameter, about the same size as the 'Great Fireball Technique', but with a higher level of destructive power: [Scorching Dragon Breath].

With just these two methods, Charmander is fully capable of Kage-level strength, and he wouldn't be weak even among Kage-level characters.

Charmander's strongest fighting technique is not to rely on itself, but to summon its mother, an adult 'Emperor Dragon,' to spew out a colossal fireball comparable to a meteorite from high in the sky.

Even though it can only unleash one attack, the imperial dragon will be forcibly teleported back to a place called 'Kamavia'.

But this one strike alone possessed destructive power comparable to a super-shadow level.

In the ninja world, there are certainly summoning beasts stronger than Charmander.

The immortals of the three holy lands are all beings who have reached the level of Kage, but they are each subject to different restrictions and cannot easily appear in the ninja world.

But apart from these 'immortals' who cannot easily make a move, among the known summoned beasts, those stronger than Charmander are few and far between.

Although Mitarashi Anko can summon snake-type creatures, she is essentially bound by a contract with the snakes controlled by Orochimaru, not by the contract with Ryuchi Cave, and therefore cannot summon the truly powerful snakes found within the cave.

A few ordinary giant snakes are no match for Charmander.

"I thought you were stronger." Yagami Yoru glanced at the cursed mark on Mitarashi Anko's shoulder and asked, "Why aren't you using that power?"

Without the power of the cursed seal, Mitarashi Anko at this point is at best a fairly strong Chunin, still quite a distance from being a Jonin.

Using the power of the cursed seal might have some side effects, but it would definitely increase one's strength considerably.

Orochimaru's Heavenly Curse Seal, even in its first state, can greatly increase chakra.

“Cursed seal…” Mitarashi Anko’s expression changed, as if she was recalling some unpleasant memories, and she shouted, “I will never use such evil power!”

Chakra in the ninja world, due to the existence of 'spiritual power', is indeed divided into good and evil.

Indeed, a fragment of Orochimaru's soul was present in the Heavenly Curse Seal on Mitarashi Anko's body.

However, as long as Orochimaru does not actively activate this part of the soul fragment, the Heavenly Curse Seal will only help Mitarashi Anko absorb a certain amount of natural power and enter an incomplete 'Sage Mode'.

Yagami Yoruichi thought for a moment, but did not say these things to Mitarashi Anko. She only said, "It is rare to have a physique that can bear the Heavenly Curse Seal, but it seems that you have not shown the talent that a holder of the Heavenly Curse Seal should have."

Orochimaru has many kinds of cursed seals, the most special of which is the Heavenly Curse Seal, which can only be borne by two people from beginning to end.

One is Mitarashi Anko, and the other is Uchiha Sasuke, the reincarnation of Indra.

Even Kaguya Kimimaro, who had developed the Shikotsumyaku to its limit, only bore the 'Earth Curse Seal'.
