Konoha's Hextech Ninja

"Okay, please." Yagami Yoru hadn't treated Yuhi Kurenai like an outsider from the start. He naturally took Yuhi Kurenai's small hand and led her out of the training ground, asking as they walked, "What do you want to eat today?"

Kurenai nestled close to Yoruichi Yagami, tilted her head, and thought for a moment before saying, "Takoyaki, and sushi! Hmm, Yoruichi-kun wants to eat more meat, so let's add another serving of beef!"

"Okay, whatever you say." Yagami Yoruichi held the little girl's hand, and the two walked down the bustling commercial street, their backs to the camera, creating a strange sense of harmony.

It seems that this young couple was meant to be together.

Chapter 59 Kurenai Yuhi: Tsunade, I am your idol!

"Eh? Yoruichi-kun?"

"Kid, what are you doing here?"

Two familiar voices rang out at the entrance of a restaurant.

Yagami Yoru's expression showed surprise upon seeing the newcomers, and he quickly greeted them, "Tsunade-sensei, Shizune, are you here for dinner?"

"Teacher just finished gambling... cough cough, Teacher just finished working and brought me here to eat." Shizune almost let slip the secret.

Tsunade glared at Shizune with annoyance, then glanced at Kurenai Yuhi beside Yoruichi Yagami and asked Yoruichi, "You brat, why aren't you at home studying? What are you doing here?"

"I just finished training, come and eat." Yagami Yoruichi said truthfully, "As for the book my teacher gave me, I left a shadow clone at home, so it won't delay my progress."

After explaining, Yagami Yoruichi finally came to her senses and quickly introduced, "Teacher, this is my and Shizune's classmate, Kurenai Yuhi. Kurenai, this is my teacher. Didn't you say before that your biggest idol was Tsunade-sensei?"

Tsunade is the idol of almost all female ninjas in Konoha.

As a female ninja, she became a renowned powerhouse in the ninja world; there are very few in the entire ninja world who can achieve this.

In this generation of Konoha, there is only Tsunade.

Such deeds naturally inspired admiration in many female ninjas, including Kurenai Yuhi.

"Lady Tsunade!" Kurenai Yuhi was so excited upon seeing Tsunade that she was almost at a loss for words, stammering, "I'm Kurenai Yuhi, I'm your idol, no, you're my fan, no..."

Kurenai was so excited that she became incoherent, making several mistakes in a row, and almost burst into tears.

"Alright, don't get so excited." Tsunade noticed Kurenai's nervousness, put her hand on Kurenai's shoulder, and said with a smile, "You're from the Kurenai family, right? Your mental strength is very strong. You seem to be a genius."

Upon hearing Tsunade's gentle tone, Yagami Yoruichi's expression suddenly turned strange.

Tsunade has never been this gentle when facing herself.

Subconsciously, Yagami Yoru looked at Shizune, his eyes asking if Tsunade usually acted this way.

Shizune understood the meaning in Yagami Yoru's eyes and avoided his gaze.

Although there was no answer, the answer was self-evident.

"You two brats, what are you doing exchanging glances like that?!" How could Tsunade not notice their 'exchange'? Realizing what they were thinking, she was instantly annoyed: "Do you think I'm some kind of short-tempered woman?!"

"No, no!" Yagami Yoruichi quickly admitted, "Tsunade-sensei is the gentlest! Tsunade-sensei is the best! Tsunade-sensei is the greatest!"

Mute: "..."

Tsunade: "..."

Kurenai Yuhi: "..."

"You glib brat! If you're going to eat, finish your food and get back to your studies!" Tsunade punched Yagami Yoruichi on the forehead. Although she didn't use her superhuman strength or even her chakra, it was still so fast that Yagami Yoruichi couldn't react at all.

"Ouch, that hurts!" Yagami Yoruichi clutched his head, but dared not protest any further.

Yagami Yoruichi had witnessed Tsunade's fiery temper firsthand.

If you really piss her off, her monstrous strength is something that even the current Yoruichi Yagami simply can't withstand.

"Don't just stand there, come in and eat." Tsunade strode into the restaurant, asked for a private room, ordered a few side dishes to go with drinks, and tossed the menu to Yagami Yoruichi, saying, "Order whatever you want, and don't waste any food."

"Is the teacher treating? Then I'll have to order something expensive," Yagami Yoruichi said with a grin.

Although Tsunade always loses at gambling, she hasn't left Konoha yet and owns a huge fortune from the Senju clan, so her net worth is naturally considerable.

A mere meal is nothing to Tsunade.

Upon hearing Yagami Yoruichi's words, Tsunade angrily retorted, "What nonsense are you spouting? Do you think I'd let a brat like you pay for this?!"

After taking Yagami Yoruichi as her student, Tsunade also learned about Yagami Yoruichi's situation.

While she wouldn't be looking after Yagami Yoruichi every minute, since they had run into each other, Tsunade naturally wouldn't mind treating her to a meal.

Despite saying he was going to rip off a glutton, Yagami Yoichi didn't actually order many expensive dishes. Instead, he ordered some dishes that he and Yuhi Kurenai liked: "Wasabi octopus, sea urchin sushi, beef platter, tempura set meal, plus a fried chicken rice bowl."

After ordering, Yagami Yoruichi handed the menu to Shizune and asked, "Shizune, do you want to add some more?"

Jingyin took the menu, ordered a dish for herself, and then returned the menu to the waiter.

"How are you doing with the books I gave you?" Tsunade asked, looking at Yoruichi Yagami.

"I've already learned one-third of it, and it will probably take a few more months to master it all," Yagami Yoruichi said truthfully.

Tsunade gave Yagami Yoruichi far too many medical books.

Even with the help of shadow clones, it would still take a very long time to learn all of them.

"One-third? That's fast?" Tsunade couldn't help but frown and asked, "Are you sure you understand it all, and not just memorizing it by rote?"

If you have a strong memory and can memorize things by rote, this speed is not surprising.

But if one understands it completely, that would be amazing.

"It mainly relies on shadow clones," Yagami Yoruichi said truthfully. "Every day I make sure to have at least one shadow clone learning this knowledge. Without shadow clones, I couldn't have done it so quickly."

Hearing Yagami Yoruichi's explanation, Tsunade's doubts lessened somewhat, but did not completely disappear.

She frowned, but didn't ask any further questions. She simply said, "Come to my house this weekend. I need to check your study progress. If you don't meet my expectations, you're not allowed to claim to be my student anymore!"

Hearing Tsunade's words, Yagami Yoruichi showed no worry. Instead, he looked eager and asked, "If I pass Teacher's test, will there be a reward?"

Through their interactions over this period, Yagami Yoruichi could sense that Tsunade valued her talent and was willing to take her on as a 'student'.

However, due to some of her own reasons, Tsunade was not very concerned about her student, Yagami Yoruichi, and had no intention of formally accepting her as a disciple.

It's like they just intend to teach casually.

This is not what Yagami Yoruichi wanted.

Now that we have such a high-ranking teacher, we naturally have to find ways to get some benefits out of him.

"You're actually haggling!" Tsunade glared, trying to scare Yoruichi Yagami away.

But Yagami Yoruichi said matter-of-factly, "Teacher, shouldn't students be rewarded for doing well?"

"You brat!" Tsunade deliberately put on a stern face, feigning anger, and said, "If you can satisfy me, I'll give you a reward! But if you can't, then just wait, the consequences will be severe!"

Chapter 60 Uchiha Inahi

The weekend hasn't arrived yet.

The next day after school, Kakashi Hatake brought two Uchiha clan members to the training ground.

The younger one was Uchiha Tetsuka, who was in the same class as the other two.

Uchiha Tekka and Yagami Yoruichi weren't exactly close, but they had been classmates for over half a year and were quite familiar with each other.

“This is my cousin, Uchiha Inahashi.” Uchiha Tetsuka briefly introduced the two: “Brother, this is our class’s top student, Yagami Yoruichi, Tsunade-sama’s student.”

Uchiha Inahisa nodded slightly, looked at Yagami Yoruichi, and said, "I've heard that you're very strong. But even if you're Tsunade-sama's student, I won't hold back."

That's just the nature of the Uchiha clan: competitive and unwilling to admit defeat.

In any battle, there is no such thing as 'holding back'.

“That suits me perfectly.” Yagami Yoruichi looked at Uchiha Inahisa and reminded her, “Inahisa-senpai, I hope you won’t underestimate me because of my age, or you’ll suffer the consequences.”

"Being accepted as a student by Lady Tsunade is certainly no simple feat." Uchiha Inahime took out a kunai and held it in her hand, while forming a hand seal with her other hand. She said, "We are just sparring today. Regardless of the outcome, I hope it will not affect your friendship with Tetsuka."

What kind of friendship do I have with Uchiha Tetsuka?!

Yagami Yoruichi thought to herself, but she also guessed that Uchiha Inahisa's attitude mostly represented the attitude of the Uchiha clan.

The Uchiha clan's situation in the village was not good. Even though Yagami Yoruichi didn't care much, the villagers' attitude of both hatred and fear towards them revealed some clues.

Although the Uchiha clan has many madmen and mentally ill individuals, some of the more clear-headed members must be able to see that the current environment of Konoha is unfavorable to them and will inevitably seek change.

Given Tsunade's status, the Uchiha clan would naturally want to be on good terms with her. Therefore, it's not hard to understand why they would specifically remind Uchiha Inahi and Uchiha Tetsuka to try to find a breakthrough through them and establish a relationship with Tsunade.

In just a few seconds, countless thoughts flashed through Yoruichi Yagami's mind, and a variety of ideas emerged at the same time.

However, Yagami Yoruichi kept all her thoughts to herself, formed the opposing hand seal, and said to Hatake Kakashi, "Kakashi, could you please call 'start' for us?"

Kakashi Hatake and Tetsuka Uchiha stepped aside to make room for the two.

Kakashi Hatake raised his hand and shouted, "Three, two, one, begin!"

The moment he shouted "Start!", Yagami Yoruichi and Uchiha Tetsuka both charged forward.

As he charged forward, Uchiha Tekka fired three shuriken from an extremely tricky angle.

At this distance, three shuriken were more than enough to block Yoruichi Yagami's movement space, allowing Inaha Uchiha to instantly gain the upper hand.

Yoruichi Yagami's response was simple: she threw a kunai, knocking one of the shuriken away.

Ignoring the remaining two shuriken, Yagami Yoruichi rushed through the gap and headed straight for Uchiha Inahisa.

As the two shuriken brushed past Yagami Yoruichi, a kunai appeared in her hand, its surface coated with wind-style chakra condensed to its maximum.

Wind Release: Vacuum Blade.

By attaching wind-style chakra to the surface of the kunai, the attack range of the kunai is extended, while giving it powerful penetrating power and sharpness.

This ninjutsu does not require hand seals and is extremely threatening in close combat.

"So fast."

Uchiha Inahime did not hesitate at all when faced with the chakra wind blades slashing towards her, and chose to dodge them directly.

Fighting against a highly sharp chakra wind blade is not a wise choice.

Ordinary kunai break at the slightest touch, and even fine, renowned swords don't stand a chance. Only top-tier divine weapons can easily suppress the wind blades formed by the 'vacuum blade'.

Uchiha Inahime was just a student at the Ninja Academy, so naturally he couldn't possibly have any divine weapons. Faced with this situation, the best choice was not to fight Yagami Yoruichi head-on, but to look for other opportunities.

Whoosh!
