Konoha's Hextech Ninja

Since the time of the Second Hokage, the Senju clan abandoned the surname 'Senju' and assimilated into the common people of Konoha. Although the clan no longer exists, countless people have inherited the Senju bloodline.

Even the higher-ups in Konoha couldn't be sure how many of the so-called 'commoner ninjas' in Konoha actually possessed the Senju bloodline.

"I don't know. I'm an orphan. I've never met my parents, and I don't know anything about my elders." Yagami Yoruichi shook her head and did not answer the question.

Yoruichi Yagami was certain that she was definitely not a descendant of the Senju clan.

On the system panel, the 'Bloodline Limit' section clearly states 'None,' meaning there are no special bloodlines.

It doesn't mean they haven't awakened; it means they haven't awakened at all.

However, with the help of the system in the future, it might awaken the strange abilities of those heroes in LOL. If there are any that are hard to explain, we can try to explain them as bloodline limits.

For example, 'Wood Release'.

Could Zyra and Tree's abilities be considered a special kind of 'Wood Release' bloodline limit?

Yoruichi Yagami's thoughts couldn't help but drift away.

“Perhaps you really do have the bloodline of the Senju clan,” Kakashi Hatake guessed. “Currently, the only ones known to have extremely strong physical abilities and chakra reserves are the Senju and Uzumaki clans. But the Uzumaki clan has been wiped out, and they all have red hair. Your hair is black, so you are definitely not a Uzumaki. That leaves only the Senju.”

After a pause, Kakashi Hatake continued, "Of course, it's also possible that you're just exceptionally talented."

"Whatever, I'm just a commoner, nothing more." Yagami Yoruichi shook her head, not dwelling on the topic, and changed the subject, saying, "I heard that Minato-senpai intends to take you as his disciple?"

"It's not decided yet. They said it will have to wait until I graduate." Kakashi Hatake smiled and said, "But I will definitely seize this opportunity. Minato-senpai is the youngest Jonin in the village's history."

If it weren't for me, you would have broken this record in a few years!

Yagami Yoruichi thought to himself.

Minato Namikaze became a Jonin in his teens, breaking the record of Konoha and even the Five Great Ninja Villages. This was something Konoha publicized extensively.

After all, he was a direct descendant of the Hokage lineage, so this could be seen as building momentum for Minato Namikaze.

Most importantly, Minato Namikaze's strength is worthy of such a title.

If someone with a big reputation but lacks strength were chosen instead, it would be a burden, making them more vulnerable to being targeted by the enemy, and they might die in battle much earlier.

For example, the rope tree.

However, Minato Namikaze does not have this problem.

His strength is such that he is not afraid of being targeted by enemies. As long as he does not face opponents of the level of 'Kage' or Jinchuriki, he can at least guarantee that he will not be defeated.

When he masters the Flying Thunder God Technique in the future, he won't even need to fear Kage or Jinchuriki anymore.

Having the opportunity to become a disciple of such a powerful figure, Kakashi Hatake naturally cherished this chance.

"Don't envy me." Kakashi Hatake looked at Yoruichi Yagami and laughed, "That Uncle Kosuke, don't underestimate him just because he's only a genin. Even my father admires him. My father didn't say much about the specifics, but I can guess that his identity is definitely not ordinary."

As Kakashi was speaking, he suddenly looked towards the entrance of the training ground and said to Yoruichi Yagami, "Hey, Uncle Kosuke is here. He's probably here to see you."

The Results of Cultivation of the 'Previous' Seal in Chapter 37

"Kosuke-senpai," Yagami Yoruichi quickly greeted Maruboshi Kosuke.

"Yoruichi," Kosuke Maruhoshi, still dressed like a farmer, asked Yoruichi Yagami with a smile, "It's been a week. How's your training going?"

"You've made great progress," Yagami Yoruichi said confidently. "I've already mastered the basic techniques you taught me about the 'Ren' seal and the 'Qian' seal last time, Kosuke-senpai."

Maruboshi Kosuke did not teach Yagami Yoruichi any ninjutsu, but he did explain in detail the principles and techniques of the two special hand seals, 'Rin' and 'Zen'.

For Yoruichi Yagami, these things that relate to the essence of ninjutsu are more important than simply learning more ninjutsu techniques.

As she spoke, Yagami Yoruichi tentatively asked, "Shall I demonstrate for you?"

“Sure.” Maruboshi Kosuke looked expectant and said, “I remember you only know the Water Wave technique? Then demonstrate with Water Wave.”

"Yes, senior." Yagami Yoruichi responded, facing the direction of a small river at the edge of the training ground, and formed the 'forward' hand seal.

A large amount of chakra was mobilized, released outside the body, and merged into the river.

In less than a second, more than a third of Yagami Yoruichi's chakra was activated, equivalent to the entire chakra of even the weakest Jonin.

The next moment, Yagami Yoruichi changed his hand gestures, bringing his index and middle fingers together and crossing them in front of his chest.

This gesture is exactly the same as the hand seal for Naruto Uzumaki's 'Shadow Clone Technique'.

However, it does not actually belong to any conventional hand seals. Instead, it is the 'Ren' seal, which means 'arbitrary'. There are no fixed hand gesture requirements. As long as you are comfortable with it, you can use any gesture.

With the 'Ren' seal formed, Yagami Yoruichi's chakra released from her body was fully mobilized.

A gigantic column of water rose from the river surface and rolled towards the open space on the opposite bank.

Under the onslaught of a large volume of water, thousands of square meters of dry land were instantly transformed into a swamp.

"To be able to alter such a large area of ​​terrain and still have energy left over, that's an enviable amount of chakra," Maruboshi Kosuke exclaimed.

Maruboshi Kosuke is nearly fifty years old. For a ninja, although he is still in his prime, he is already at the stage where his physical functions are beginning to decline.

The first thing to decline is physical fitness, and the amount of chakra that is closely related to physical fitness.

In terms of chakra reserves alone, he would have some difficulty performing such a large-scale ninjutsu.

Seeing how relaxed Yagami Yoruichi looked, Maruboshi Kosuke was quite envious.

For ninjas, the amount of chakra almost determines everything.

Even if a ninja with a large amount of chakra is weak in other aspects, he can still have strong combat power.

If your chakra level is low, even if you are strong in other aspects, the upper limit you can reach will not be very high.

In Konoha Village, there are many highly talented ninjas, but because their physique is not good enough and their chakra reserves are insufficient, their strength is difficult to improve further.

Seeing Yagami Yoruichi's enormous chakra reserves, Maruboshi Kosuke felt both envious and fortunate.

Fortunately, such a genius was born in Konoha Village, not a rival ninja village.

“Senior Kosuke, I can now barely use the ‘Ren’ seal to replace the three seals of ‘Water Release: Water Chaos Wave’, but if I use it like this, I can’t have more precise control, and I can only perform one attack.”

After demonstrating, Yagami Yoruichi shared her progress in mastering the newly revised 'Water Release: Water Chaos Wave': "If I only use the 'front' seal to increase the chakra scale, and then release the Water Chaos Wave according to the normal 'Tatsu-Ox-Rabbit' seals, I can currently only do a maximum of four attacks, with the last one able to generate two water pillars."

“There’s still room for improvement, but it’s already quite good.” Maruboshi Kosuke nodded in satisfaction and said, “When you formed the ‘Front’ hand seal just now, the portion of chakra you released wasn’t closely connected to your mind. If you could achieve a closer connection between your mind and chakra, you could at least double the scale of your ninjutsu with the same amount of chakra. Also, the purpose of the ‘Ren’ hand seal is not to completely replace the regular hand seals, but to reduce the number of hand seals or change the rhythm of the hand seals to make them smoother and more natural…”

Kosuke Maruboshi meticulously pointed out the mistakes Yoruichi Yagami made and indicated directions for improvement.

During most of the winter break, Kosuke Maruboshi would occasionally come to give Yoruichi Yagami pointers on her training.

Although he did not formally accept Yagami Yoruichi as his disciple, he already regarded her as half a successor.

When teaching Yoruichi Yagami, Kosuke Maruboshi did not rigidly teach her basic ninjutsu, but carefully broke down the principles and essence of ninjutsu and hand seals.

This method is naturally unsuitable for the vast majority of ordinary ninjas.

However, Kosuke Maruboshi believed that Yoruichi Yagami was a genius, and this teaching method could actually raise Yoruichi Yagami's potential.

"These are my notes from when I was young learning ninjutsu. This part contains my understanding of the 'Front' and 'Ren' seals. There are also two other ninjutsu techniques." Maruboshi Kosuke handed Yagami Yoruichi a scroll and instructed, "Take this back and study it carefully. If there's anything you don't understand, come find me here on weekends. As long as I'm not on any long-term missions, I'll come over every weekend."

After tucking the scroll into Yagami Yoruichi's hand, Maruboshi Kosuke looked up into the distance and teased with a smile, "Your little girlfriend is here, so this old man won't bother you young people anymore. Remember one thing: you can share the hand seals with your friends, but you can only learn the ninjutsu yourself."

Just as Yagami Yoruichi was about to thank him, she blushed upon hearing the words "little girlfriend" and instinctively wanted to retort.

But for some reason, thinking of Kurenai's adorable appearance, she couldn't bring herself to deny it, and for a moment she stammered and couldn't say a word.

"Hahahaha!" Maruboshi Kosuke rarely saw Yagami Yoruichi like this, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. This old man has something to do, so I'll be going now." Maruboshi Kosuke chuckled for a while, waved to Yagami Yoruichi, and disappeared in a flash.

Just then, Kurenai Yuhi jogged up to Yoruichi Yagami and asked curiously, "Yoruichi-kun, was Grandpa Kosuke here just now? How come he disappeared all of a sudden?"

"Senior Kosuke had to leave, leaving us to train on our own." Yagami Yoruichi, having composed herself, asked Yuhi Kurenai, "Why are you here so early today? You usually come in the afternoon."

"Dad's away on a mission, no one's home to lock me up!" Kurenai happily sidled up to Yoruichi Yagami and asked, "Yoruichi-kun, what are you training for today? Do you want me to help you improve your genjutsu resistance?"

"No rush." ​​Yagami Yoruichi shook her head, opened the scroll left by Maruboshi Kosuke, and wanted to see what the two ninjutsu recorded on it were.

Chapter 38 Fire Release and Wind Release Ninjutsu

Yagami Yoruichi opened the scroll and scanned it quickly.

The preceding notes are all about the 'Qian' seal and the 'Ren' seal.

Turning to the last page, Yagami Yoruichi saw two ninjutsu techniques recorded in the scroll.

They weren't the two water-style ninjutsu techniques I had expected.

Instead, one is a Fire Release technique and the other is a Wind Release technique.

Both are C-rank ninjutsu.

Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique.

Wind Release: Vacuum Blade.

The former is similar to 'Water Release: Water Chaos Wave', a wide-range ninjutsu. However, due to the characteristics of fire ninjutsu, it is more lethal, while its defensive effect is almost negligible.

The latter, on the other hand, is a close-combat ninjutsu that involves attaching wind-style chakra to kunai or other weapons to enhance the sharpness of the strike; it would be more appropriate to call it 'ninjutsu taijutsu'.

The two ninjutsu techniques are clearly explained, from hand seals and chakra circulation to the precautions for each step of training.

There is a document that states that as long as you have the corresponding attributes and spend enough time practicing, even the most ordinary genin can learn it.

After all, it's only a C-rank ninjutsu, so it's not too difficult to learn.

Water Release: Water Wave is a versatile attack and defense technique, Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique is a wide-range area-of-effect attack, and Wind Release: Vacuum Blade is a close-combat technique.

The three ninjutsu can basically cover most situations and are also compatible with Yagami Yoruichi's innate wind, water, and fire attributes.

It was clearly a combination carefully selected by Kosuke Maruboshi.

Of course, an even better combination would be a purely defensive Water Release ninjutsu, along with Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique and Wind Release: Vacuum Blade.

However, although Yagami Yoruichi's 'Water Release: Water Chaos Wave' is not purely defensive, it still has decent defensive capabilities, so there's no need to rush to master a purely defensive ninjutsu.

This is also why Kosuke Maruboshi only left two ninjutsu techniques for Yoruichi Yagami.

For a genius like Yoruichi Yagami, learning a ninjutsu might not take too long.

However, to use it perfectly and integrate it into your own combat system still requires a lot of time and effort.

Especially in the early stages, learning too many different things may not be a good thing.

After all, a person's energy is limited.
