Konoha's Hextech Ninja

If used properly, it can become a ninja's signature move.

"Great Fireball, Phoenix Flower, Great Fire Dragon, and all other Fire Release techniques below Rank B can be taught to others," Uchiha Inahisa said. "The Uchiha clan is skilled in Fire Release, but we don't keep it to ourselves. Apart from the most core Rank A Fire Release forbidden techniques, the rest of the Uchiha clan's Fire Release ninjutsu are circulating throughout the ninja world, so teaching them to you won't be a problem."

“I have no objection,” Kakashi Hatake said from the side. “Tekka’s taijutsu is a bit weak, but his ninjutsu foundation is good, especially Fire Release. If we study and train together, we can improve together.”

“I don’t object either.” Yagami Yoru nodded, looked at Uchiha Tetsuka, and said, “But there’s one thing: if you join, you can’t keep anything from each other. Besides sharing your ninjutsu research results, you also have to take time to be sparring partners when others need you. Of course, it won’t be too frequent, maybe once or twice a week.”

As the number of members in the 'training group' increased, Yagami Yoruichi believed that a rule should be set when recruiting new members.

It doesn't need to be perfect, but the general direction needs to be determined.

For example, all members must not keep secrets from each other, must share the research results of ninjutsu, and occasionally serve as sparring partners for others, etc.

If this can be fully implemented and more talented individuals can be recruited, it will benefit everyone.

As the core of the 'training group,' everyone in this group will become Yagami Yoruichi's future team.

“Inahisa-senpai, if you’re interested, you can join us.” Yagami Yoichi extended an invitation to Uchiha Inahisa: “We don’t have many people right now, but the number of members may increase in the future. However, the entry requirements will not be lowered. Only true geniuses can join.”

"Who else is there?" Uchiha Inahi asked with a hint of interest, "You and Kakashi, are there any others?"

"And then there are two of my classmates, Guy and Kurenai. Guy's physical skills are second only to mine, even a little stronger than Kakashi's. As for Kurenai, she specializes in genjutsu." Yagami Yoruichi didn't hide anything and listed the members.

“Might Guy? That weirdo?” Uchiha Inaho frowned subconsciously.

Might Guy and his son were already famous in Konoha.

A perennial genin, a complete loser with absolutely no talent in ninjutsu or genjutsu, only skilled in taijutsu.

In addition, they constantly spout incomprehensible phrases like "youth," making it hard for anyone who meets them not to remember them.

But none of this is a good impression.

In any group, those who are different will always be ostracized.

Uchiha Inahisa didn't know much about the father and son, but through what she had seen and heard, she didn't have a very good impression of them either.

“Senior, don’t underestimate Kai. In terms of taijutsu alone, he might be even stronger than you.” Yagami Yoruichi saw through Uchiha Inahisa’s thoughts at a glance and said with a smile, “If you haven’t heard of the ‘Eight Gates Technique,’ you can go back and ask the Uchiha clan elders.”

"The Eight Gates Technique?" Uchiha Inahime had never heard of this technique before. He secretly noted it down, intending to ask his elders about it when he returned to his clan.

However, he didn't hesitate much when accepting Yoruichi's invitation, and said directly, "Of course I'm willing to join. Just being able to spar with Yoruichi and Kakashi occasionally would be a great help to me. As a token of my sincerity, I will bring a few scrolls of Fire Release ninjutsu tomorrow."

“We’ll be training here every afternoon after school. As for the daytime, I’ll be here in the morning,” Yagami Yoruichi reminded us. “You can arrange your own training content; there won’t be any interference. Those who choose the same training direction can discuss and research together.”

"I understand." Uchiha Inahisa and Uchiha Tetsuka both nodded, looking forward to their strength improving by leaps and bounds after training with Yagami Yoruichi and Hatake Kakashi for a period of time.

As for Might Guy and Kurenai Yuhi, they were subconsciously ignored by the two of them.

"Yoruichi-kun, are you using shadow clones to go to school?" Uchiha Inahashi suddenly thought of something, looked at Yagami Yoruichi, and said, "I've never heard of you skipping class, but you're at the training ground during class time, so it can only be a shadow clone."

They skipped class to come here.

The Shadow Clone Technique isn't difficult, but not everyone can maintain a Shadow Clone for several hours or even longer.

“Not bad.” Yagami Yoru nodded and said, “My chakra reserves are quite large, so creating a shadow clone can actually increase efficiency.”

"I really envy you guys with so much chakra." Uchiha Inaho said with an envious look in her eyes, "I can also use Shadow Clone Jutsu, but I'm not skilled enough. I can only maintain it for half a day at most, so I can't use Shadow Clone Jutsu to teach me."

"I only need to attend theoretical classes, and I'll go back to school for practical classes. At least that's how it is for me now." Yagami Yoruichi didn't mention that she could easily maintain two or three shadow clones for an entire day.

"Using shadow clones for theory lessons?" Uchiha Inahisa nodded thoughtfully and said, "I'll try it starting tomorrow. However, our theory lessons are at different times than yours, so it seems we'll have to train together in the evenings."

"Welcome, senior, and Tekka too." Yagami Yoruichi said with a smile, "Then let's meet here after school this afternoon, starting today."

"It's almost time to go back to school." Yagami Yoichi glanced at the clock hanging on a tower outside the training ground.

If you're late, that clingy little girl will be unhappy.

Chapter 63 Kurenai Yuhi Transforms into a Steampunk Princess

Back at school at noon, Yagami Yoruichi went to the rooftop of the teaching building, where Kurenai Yuhi was already waiting at their usual spot.

This spot in the corner of the rooftop has long been the regular meeting place for Yagami Yoruichi and Yuhi Kurenai's daily noon "date".

No one else dared to bother them.

"Yoruichi-kun!" Seeing Yagami Yoruichi's true form return, Kurenai Yuhi happily waved to her, "Come here quickly, I brought beef bowl today!"

Beef bowl, also known as beef rice bowl, is a type of common fast food.

However, if the beef were replaced with high-grade beef from the Land of Lightning, the price would immediately rise to a level that would be prohibitive for ordinary people.

Even ninjas are reluctant to eat it often.

It's only because Kurenai Yuhi has an elite Jonin-level father who can earn a lot of money from any mission, and because Kurenai Yuhi dotes on her daughter so much, that she would prepare such an expensive 'bento' for her.

"Yoruichi-kun, your physical training is intense, you need to replenish your nutrition, eat more." Kurenai Yuhi presented the bento box to Yoruichi Yagami like a treasure, her eyes filled with expectation.

"Let's eat together. I also brought tempura and rice balls." Yagami Yoruichi naturally opened her lunchbox, placed it between the two of them, and picked up a piece of beef with her chopsticks.

The Japanese-style beef preparation didn't quite suit Yagami Yoruichi's taste, but high-quality beef can be delicious no matter how it's cooked.

One bite, and the aroma of beef and fat spreads in your mouth, making you want to eat more.

"Very good, very tender beef. Even though it's been in the lunchbox all morning, the taste hasn't gotten any worse. It's delicious." Seeing the little girl's expectant eyes, Yagami Yoruichi immediately praised her.

"Hehe." Kurenai Yuhi said with a smile, "Mom made it, and there's still plenty, enough for the two of us."

"Don't just watch me eat, you eat too. The practical training this afternoon and the evening training will both consume a lot of energy." Yagami Yoruichi picked up a piece of beef and held it to Yuhi Kurenai's lips.

When performing this action, Yoruichi Yagami acted very naturally.

Yuhi Kurenai's face flushed slightly as she opened her mouth and bit into the beef. Her eyes began to glaze over, showing signs of developing into a 'steam princess'.

"It's just feeding each other, why are you so shy?" Yagami Yoruichi wondered. They had fed each other quite often when they went to eat in the shopping street after training before, so why was he reacting so strongly today?

Suddenly, Yagami Yoruichi felt a prying gaze. She turned her head and noticed the looks in the eyes of her classmates. Only then did Yagami Yoruichi come to her senses and realize what was going on.

Many classmates looked on with gossip in their eyes, watching their 'interactions' with Kurenai Yuhi.

Although children in the ninja world are precocious, it is quite rare for them to start dating in their first year of school.

No wonder Kurenai Yuhi suddenly became so shy.

The intimacy between two people in private is completely different from that in public.

Yoruichi Yagami herself didn't care about these things, but Kurenai Yuhi couldn't ignore other people's opinions.

"What are you looking at? Eat your food!" Yagami Yoruichi unleashed her chakra, and an invisible pressure instantly enveloped the entire rooftop.

The burst of chakra from an elite Jonin was not something a group of kids from the ninja academy could easily withstand. They were all terrified, their faces turning pale, and they quickly looked away, not daring to look any longer.

"Damn it, his strength has increased again..." Sarutobi Asuma felt a wave of frustration as he experienced this terrifying pressure.

He trained desperately, wanting to surpass Yagami Yoruichi.

But the gap between the two did not narrow; instead, it widened.

He couldn't wait to take action and teach Yoruichi Yagami a lesson.

However, the difference in strength between the two made Sarutobi Asuma unable to muster the courage to fight.

He couldn't bear the shame of being taught a lesson by Yoruichi Yagami again.

Yoruichi Yagami was unaware of Asuma Sarutobi's inner thoughts.

After 'warning' the others, he quietly comforted Kurenai. After saying a few words, Kurenai's mood improved a lot, but she was still very shy. She kept her head down and didn't dare to look at the others. She only whispered a few words to Yoruichi Yagami from time to time, and then kept eating in silence.

Yagami Yoruichi watched with amusement, as it was rare to see Kurenai Yuhi so shy.

Most of the time, she is very bold.

Since the two met, this is only the second time that Yagami Yoruichi has seen her in this state, which is close to that of a 'steam princess'.

Unfortunately, happy times are always short-lived.

By the time the practical training session began in the afternoon, Kurenai Yuhi had adjusted her mindset and fully returned to normal.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!

A series of crisp sounds, eight shuriken, each hitting the bullseye of one of the eight different targets.

"Well done." Yagami Yoruichi said to Kurenai Yuhi, "Kurenai, you've improved a lot. Throwing eight shuriken in an instant and hitting their targets one by one, you're already better than many professional ninjas in terms of ninja tool throwing alone."

When Yagami Yoruichi refers to a 'formal ninja,' he is obviously referring to a genin.

Kurenai Yuhi's talent is good, but her forte is genjutsu. Her ninja tool throwing is only at the level of a normal genius. Even with Yoruichi Yagami's frequent guidance and sparring, she is only slightly better than classmates like Asuma Sarutobi and Obito Uchiha, and not even close to Kakashi Hatake's level.

To surpass most genin in one's first year at the Ninja Academy is already quite remarkable.

"You're just saying nice things. My shuriken skills aren't even half as good as yours." Kurenai rolled her eyes.

She trained with Yagami Yoruichi every day, so she naturally knew Yagami Yoruichi's strength very well.

Compared to Yoruichi Yagami, she was far from being a genius.

"You're already quite proficient with eight shuriken. There are two directions to go from here. One is to continue increasing the number of shuriken thrown at once, and the other is to use more complex techniques to allow the shuriken to change direction two or even three times after being thrown, enhancing their deceptive effect on the enemy." Yagami Yoruichi tactfully changed the subject, saying, "The former simply increases the shuriken's range and effect, providing cover for subsequent attacks. The latter is to make the shuriken one of your core combat methods."

"I want to follow the path of a genjutsu-type ninja. Shuriken is just a supplement. I'll definitely choose the former." Kurenai Yuhi made her choice without the slightest hesitation.

“Eight shuriken is a threshold. Because a person only has five fingers on one hand, which can hold just four shuriken, so the maximum number of shuriken you can hold with both hands is eight. If you want to increase the number further, you need to use some more complicated techniques. Let me teach you…” Yagami Yoruichi took out some shuriken from her ninja tool bag and began to demonstrate to Yuhi Kurenai.

Chapter 64 Meeting the Parents?

After school, several more figures appeared on Konoha's public training ground.

Might Guy's father, unusually, received a mission and didn't accompany Might Guy in his training. So, he naturally came to the training ground and trained with Yagami Yoruichi and the others.

With the addition of Uchiha Tekka and Uchiha Inahisa, the number of people in this 'training group' has increased to six.

Yagami Yoruichi created two shadow clones.

The main body and Kurenai Yuhi practiced genjutsu and how to break it. One shadow clone studied ninjutsu with the Uchiha brothers and Kakashi Hatake. The last shadow clone trained with Might Guy on chakra control.

This is Might Guy's weakness. He can't learn ninjutsu or genjutsu. While there is a factor of talent involved, his poor chakra control is also a very important reason.

Of course, even if this weakness is improved, it won't make Might Guy a master of ninjutsu and genjutsu. In fact, because of his poor talent in these two areas, he still finds it difficult to even begin to learn them.

However, improving one's control over chakra will not be entirely without effect.

Even in taijutsu, the stronger the chakra control, the better one can ensure that every bit of strength is used where it is needed, and to increase speed, strength, and so on while spending the same amount of chakra and stamina.

For a ninja like Yoruichi Yagami who relies on ninjutsu, chakra control is even more important.
