Konoha's Hextech Ninja

But he just couldn't understand why Yagami Yoruichi, an 'outsider,' would know so much about the Hyuga clan's bloodline.

"cough."

Hiashi Hyuga coughed lightly and said to Hanabi Hyuga, "Hanabi is now a second-year student at the Ninja Academy. Would you like to study and train under Yoruichi, just like your sister did back then?"

"Huh? Is that okay?" Hinata Hanabi immediately perked up, hugging Yagami Yoruichi's head and saying happily, "Yoruichi-nii-san, would you be willing to teach Hanabi to become stronger?!"

Yagami Yoruichi glanced at Hyuga Hiashi, his gaze seemingly piercing through Hiashi's heart, causing Hiashi to break out in a cold sweat.

However, Yagami Yoruichi only glanced at it before looking away, and said gently to Hyuga Hanabi, "Of course you can. From now on, you can come with your sister every day when she comes to me for training. If I have something to do, I will leave a clone behind to teach Hanabi how to train."

"Yoruichi-nii is the best~!" Hanabi exclaimed happily, "Hanabi loves Yoruichi-nii the most!"

"Hanabi doesn't have Hinata's gluttonous nature, and her Byakugan isn't as pure as Hinata's, but she's still much stronger than most Hyuga clan members. She could continue down Hinata's path in the future."

"However, we need to study the sisters' weapons carefully. Using only chakra metal, the chakra conductivity is strong, but there are no additional enhancements, and the weapon itself is not strong enough. It can only be used up to the Kage level at most. If it becomes stronger, it will have to be replaced."

A thought popped into Yagami Yoruichi's mind: she would wait until the next Shinobi World War ended before carefully studying how to use the [Hextech Shards] to forge a suitable set of equipment for the two sisters.

Ornn's hero template, besides granting Yoruichi Yagami powerful combat abilities and the 'Molten Release', also made her a master blacksmith.

With the right materials, you can easily craft a set of 'Six Paths Level' equipment, even if it's not high-level.

The ensuing battle unfolded exactly as Yagami Yoruichi had predicted, with few unexpected developments.

Shion defeated Yakumo Kurama to advance to the finals.

The fusion of the priestess's and the demon's powers not only granted Shion the ability to summon and strengthen the Netherworld Legion, but also gave her extremely powerful Yang Release and Yin Release abilities.

Although Yakumo Kurama's genjutsu reached the level of the 'Mangekyou Sharingan', it was difficult for him to shake Shion's consciousness, which was stronger in Yin Release.

When the 'Five Senses Control' failed, relying solely on 'Illusionary True Life', Kurama Yakumo was no match for the immortal Netherworld Legion and was defeated after exhausting his chakra.

In the lower half of the battle, because the area was not open enough and the distance could not be increased, Hinata Hyuga had to abandon her strongest ranged attack and try to engage Karin Uzumaki in close combat using Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

However, even if her attacks managed to injure Karin Uzumaki, the latter would quickly heal herself thanks to the powerful physique of the Uzumaki clan.

Under Yoruichi Yagami's guidance, Karin Uzumaki's development of her bloodline limit has become increasingly stronger. Her bloodline limit ability, 'Physical Healing,' no longer requires 'taking a bite' to trigger.

As long as the chakra is still there, one can heal one's injuries anytime, anywhere, with an effect only slightly inferior to Tsunade's Hundred Healings Technique.

With Kagura's Mind's Eye and the Vajra Sealing Technique, if her strength continues to increase in the future, she will definitely be an enhanced version of Tsunade and Kushina Uzumaki combined.

Hinata Hyuga's attacks can injure Karin Uzumaki, but with the latter's continuous high-speed recovery, it's difficult for them to achieve a decisive result.

Even with Lightning Release Chakra Mode, his speed was fast enough to dodge Karin Uzumaki's counterattack.

But when a battle lasts a long time, mistakes are bound to happen.

The battle was over the moment Karin Uzumaki first bound Hinata Hyuga's ankle with the Adamantine Sealing Chains.

"Hinata is still stronger, but this fighting style has too little room for error."

As Yagami Yoruichi watched the match, he was also deep in thought.

Of the four students, Ziyuan is protected by the Netherworld Legion and can see the 'future', making predictions in advance.

With these two factors combined, it becomes extremely difficult for enemies to directly attack her main body.

Karin Uzumaki, on the other hand, has an incredibly strong self-healing ability, allowing her to recover quickly from even the most severe injuries.

Both of them have a very high 'forgiveness' in battle.

It's more than enough for battles below the Six Paths level. As your strength increases, even if you encounter stronger enemies, you won't have to walk a tightrope in battle like ordinary ninjas, afraid of making any mistakes.

Compared to the two of them, Yakumo Kurama and Hinata Hyuga have a much lower margin for error.

Hinata Hyuga is even better; her core fighting style is long-range archery sniping, and she can even launch attacks beyond the enemy's line of sight.

Even in close combat, Lightning Release Chakra Mode boasts high speed and powerful defense, offering a high margin for error as long as she doesn't encounter an opponent who is too effective against her.

As for Yakumo Kurama, there is almost no room for error.

Her illusion techniques are indeed very powerful. With just a glance or a movement, she can easily control the five senses of most ninjas, trapping them in an illusion.

However, when faced with an enemy who is not afraid of her illusions, Yakumo Kurama has very limited options for dealing with them.

In addition, her physical condition was not outstanding. Even after receiving long-term treatment from Yagami Yoruichi, her taijutsu only reached the level of a normal ninja, far from being excellent.

Once you encounter an enemy who is not afraid of her illusions, it will be very difficult to escape.

This is probably the student with the lowest 'forgiveness' among Yagami Yoruichi's four students.

In the ninja world, lower-level battles are contests of combat intelligence, intelligence, and so on. The ultimate goal of all kinds of battles is to bait out the enemy's skills and ensure that one's own skills can effectively hit the enemy's vital points.

Whether it's a fledgling genin, a seasoned elite jonin, or even the vast majority of kage-level ninjas.

If a vital point is hit, even a kunai or an explosive tag is enough to kill a person.

Once you reach the upper echelons of the film-level genre, the 'forgiveness' becomes especially important.

Various powerful defensive and life-saving capabilities have emerged one after another.

At this stage, the competition is no longer about whose ninjutsu has the highest accuracy or greatest power.

It's about who can withstand more enemy attacks without affecting their combat effectiveness.

At the Six Paths level, even if most of one's body is shattered by a kick, one can still recover quickly.

This ultimate ability to survive becomes increasingly important as the game progresses.

"However, we still need to think carefully about how to increase the margin for error in combat by using illusion magic."

"Starting from the path of genjutsu, I wonder if we could learn from the Uchiha clan's Izanagi and develop a genjutsu that could replace one's own injury or even death?"

As Yagami Yoruichi pondered how to help Kurama Yakumo and Hyuga Hinata improve their ability to withstand mistakes and survive, she realized that...

On the arena below, the final round of battle has ended.

Shion did not display her strongest abilities, but still used only the Netherworld Army to drag the battle out until Karin Uzumaki's chakra was exhausted.

Karin Uzumaki's current chakra reserves are comparable to those of a tailed beast!

The fight between the two lasted for an entire afternoon.

Shion controlled eighteen immortal warriors with Kage-level strength, half of whom protected herself and the other half to attack Karin Uzumaki. Other than that, she did not make any other moves.

The battle finally ended when Karin Uzumaki's chakra was completely exhausted and she was unable to fight any longer.

“To still hold back at this point is truly Shion’s style.”

Yagami Yoruichi smiled slightly.

Yagami Yoruichi knew Shion's strength; she was definitely not limited to the Netherworld Legion as her only fighting method.

After gaining initial control over the power of the priestess, her own combat strength was greater than that of the Netherworld Legion.

However, as long as she determines that she can defeat the enemy using the Netherworld Legion, she will never use any other means, thus keeping her own 'intelligence' extremely secretive.

Even the three women, including Karin Uzumaki, who were with her day and night, only vaguely knew that Shion was hiding a stronger method, but they didn't know exactly what she was hiding.

Only Yoruichi Yagami truly understands the limits of her abilities.

"Congratulations, Hokage."

In the VIP seats of the stands, Kazekage Rasa congratulated Tsunade, saying, "Konoha's newcomers are truly promising. It's just that there's a bit too much female and not enough male."

Luo Sha muttered a sarcastic remark.

The Hokage is a woman, and the most outstanding members of the younger generation are also women.

It can indeed be described as 'feminine dominance over yang'.

Raikage A, who was standing nearby, also said, "That Hyuga girl stole a secret technique from our Hidden Cloud Village. Tsunade, you owe me an explanation!"

"Heh, you want an explanation?" Tsunade showed no sign of anger. Instead, she stood up with a smile and called out in Yagami Yoruichi's direction, "Hey, Yoruichi, how long are you going to wait?!"

Seeing this, Kurenai Yuhi, Hiashi Hyuga, and the others asked in confusion, "Lady Tsunade? Yoruichi, what's going on?"

"You wait here." Yagami Yoruichi took Hanabi off her shoulder and instructed, "Hanabi, don't run around, be a good girl and wait here."

Upon hearing Tsunade's words, the Kazekage Rasa, the Raikage A, and the representative of Iwagakure, Yotsuchi, all instantly showed vigilance, quickly gathering their chakra and cautiously preparing themselves.

However, when Yagami Yoruichi appeared before them, all their vigilance became futile.

"Please, stay in Konoha as guests," Yagami Yoruichi said softly, raising her hands: "Wood Release: Wild Growth!"

Chapter 274 The Chunin Exams are over, let's make our move! Declaring war on the ninja world!

"asshole!"

Raikage A was tightly bound by vines, and sharp thorns pierced through his lightning defenses, greedily draining his chakra.

Soon, Raikage A's chakra was completely devoured, making it impossible for him to maintain the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

He was already extremely weak, but he still refused to give up struggling, shouting as he struggled desperately, "Does Konoha intend to continue to provoke war?!"

"Lord Hokage!" Huang Tu cried out, "Please cherish this hard-won peace and do not make wrong decisions that plunge the ninja world back into war! It's not too late to stop now!"

Kazekage Rasa, however, seemed to realize something and stopped struggling. He simply stared at Tsunade and asked, "Were the people from Konoha who attacked Elders Chiyo and Ebizo? I heard that the Fourth Hokage was also involved. Now it seems that it was your Konoha that revived him using the Second Hokage's forbidden technique, right? And Gaara's injuries, did you deliberately leave Gaara in Konoha?"

"Oh, you're pretty smart." Yagami Yoruichi turned to look at Rasa and teased, "I thought you weren't very bright, but I didn't expect you to be the first to react."

It must be said that although Luo Sha's methods were despicable and insidious, he was also not a qualified father.

But he has an exceptionally sharp political mind.

The instant Yagami Yoruichi made his move, he connected the many doubts from before and deduced the truth.

“I have a question,” Rasa asked. “Doesn’t Konoha consider the consequences of doing this? If it were just Sunagakure, it would be one thing, as Sunagakure is indeed no match for Konoha. But to attack the three great ninja villages at the same time… and Kirigakure, who left beforehand, must have had some activities in the Land of Water that were discovered by them. What gives Konoha the confidence to wage war against all four ninja villages simultaneously? Even if you have Wood Release masters, you can only handle one side of the battlefield at most, right? What will you use to defend the other three sides?”

It's no secret that Yagami Yoruichi possesses the "Wood Release" technique.

When the Hidden Cloud Village was first captured, there were rumors in the ninja world. However, as one of the conditions for 'returning the Raikage', the Hidden Cloud Village never explicitly claimed that the Wood Release ninja came from Konoha and remained silent.

However, a few months ago, after the incident involving the demons in the Land of Demons, the participants from Iwagakure did not keep it a secret for Yoruichi Yagami, and instead spread the news of the 'Wood Release ninja appearing in the world' throughout the ninja world.

Villages such as Sunagakure also knew of Yagami Yoruichi's power.

But Luo Sha just couldn't understand it.

If Konoha's confidence comes from Yoruichi Yagami, then no matter how strong Yoruichi Yagami is, she is only one person. The best strategy would be to target only one ninja village at a time.

Why attack the four major ninja villages at the same time?

Aren't you afraid of triggering an attack by the four great ninja villages, leaving Yagami Yoruichi unable to cover his own face, and causing Konoha to suffer heavy losses?
