Konoha's Hextech Ninja

Kakashi Hatake's physique was only inferior to Yoruichi Yagami and Might Guy, surpassing all his classmates, including Asuma Sarutobi, Tetsuka Uchiha, and Obito Uchiha.

It's rare to see someone this exhausted.

"I just sparred with Guy." Kakashi Hatake's voice sounded weak. "Guy's stamina is insane. In a pure physical duel, I'm no match for him."

After Kakashi Hatake said that, Yoruichi Yagami could already imagine the scene of the two fighting.

Might Guy probably didn't win because of superior physical skills, but rather because of his amazing stamina, which wore down Kakashi Hatake.

Even after exhausting Kakashi Hatake, he still had the energy to continue high-intensity weight training.

All I can say is that he truly deserves to be the strongest taijutsu user in the future ninja world.

At such a young age, his physical abilities were already beyond description.

"Yoruichi~" Might Guy greeted Yoruichi Yagami as he did a handstand push-up with one hand, "Want to have a passionate, youthful showdown?!"

"I'll definitely do it next time!" Yagami Yoruichi quickly brushed it off, diverting Might Guy's attention back to his training with just a few words.

Then, Yagami Yoruichi looked at Hatake Kakashi and asked, "I have a mission opportunity, but I need a few teammates. Are you interested?"

"A mission?" Kakashi Hatake was somewhat surprised.

Those who haven't become official ninjas are not allowed to participate in ninja missions; this is an ironclad rule of the five great ninja villages.

However, considering Yagami Yoruichi's identity as a teacher, Hatake Kakashi quickly felt relieved.

Rules are only for ordinary people.

"What exactly is the mission?" Kakashi Hatake asked, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

He spent all his time training, and although the process of improving his skills made him very satisfied.

But if it continues like this, it will inevitably become a bit boring and tedious.

Kakashi Hatake's current goal is still to revitalize his clan, and he also needs to make a name for himself through missions.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be a bandit suppression mission, or a similar low-difficulty combat mission." Yagami Yoruichi shrugged and said, "The main thing is to accumulate practical experience. Real fighting is completely different from our sparring."

"A bandit suppression mission? Isn't that a bit too easy?" Kakashi Hatake seemed a little dissatisfied, but still nodded and said, "I agree. But since it's a mission, shouldn't it be a complete team? Is Lady Tsunade leading the team? Plus you and me, there's still one spot left."

“The teacher isn’t in charge of leading the team; I’m the one leading it.” Yagami Yoruichi shook her head and said, “I’m also planning to invite Inahisa. For the last spot… Kurenai, or Kosuke-senpai. If Kosuke-senpai has time, I’d prefer him.”

“Inahime… his strength is certainly enough. Kurenai is slightly weaker, but her genjutsu is also quite good.” Kakashi Hatake nodded, then pressed, “What about time?”

"Let's decide on the candidates first, then wait for the teacher's arrangements. It shouldn't take long," Yagami Yoruichi said casually.

The ninja world is extremely chaotic, with bandits and robbers emerging one after another, impossible to eradicate completely. Like weeds, they keep popping up as soon as one crop is wiped out. That's why the profession of 'ninja' is necessary.

Sometimes, even Yagami Yoruichi couldn't help but wonder if these bandits were being tacitly allowed to roam freely by the various ninja villages, so that they could maintain their own power and influence.

Given the current chaotic situation in the ninja world, finding a bandit-suppression mission shouldn't be difficult.

Even without a client, Tsunade could simply have Hiruzen Sarutobi write a request and send the team assembled by Yoruichi Yagami to carry out the mission.

“Okay, I’ve been free lately anyway. As for the Ninja Academy, I can just take a leave of absence.” Kakashi Hatake nodded in agreement.

“Then it’s settled. I’ll ask Inahisa and Kosuke-senpai later,” Yagami Yoruichi said.

As for Kurenai Yuhi, Yoruichi Yagami didn't really want her to face the cruelty of the ninja world so soon.

Yoruichi Yagami still has a strong protective instinct towards this clingy little girl.

Although we also hope that her strength can be improved so that she has enough power to protect herself.

However, I also don't want to cause psychological problems for Kurenai Yuhi due to being too hasty.

The reason why there are so many lunatics in the ninja world, besides the chaos of the world and the absurd system, is largely because too many ninjas are sent to the battlefield to fight to the death with the enemy at a very young age and before their values ​​are fully formed.

It's no wonder he's developing psychological problems if things continue like this.

At this stage, if we need to go on a mission, it's enough to bring along Kakashi Hatake, Inaho Uchiha, and others.

As for Kurenai Yuhi, we'll talk about it when she's older, at least after she graduates from the Ninja Academy.

As for Kakashi, he is a year younger than the other two.

Yoruichi Yagami is such a hypocrite!

Justified and confident.jpg!

"Have you rested enough?" Yagami Yoruichi chatted with Hatake Kakashi for a while, then stood up and said, "I'm going to practice my ninjutsu for a bit. Want to come along?"

“Sure, you can help me study the improvements to the Chidori Stream.” Kakashi Hatake also stood up, took out a soldier pill from his ninja tool pouch and threw it into his mouth.

"You're going to eat this?" Yagami Yoruichi's eye twitched involuntarily when he saw Kakashi Hatake's action.

Soldier pills can quickly replenish physical strength and chakra, but they are not cheap.

If it were just expensive, that would be one thing, but the taste was absolutely awful.

Unless there are special circumstances that prevent her from eating normally, Yoruichi Yagami would never touch this thing.

“My stamina isn’t as freakish as yours. To maintain high-intensity training, this is the only way.” Kakashi Hatake held up a small bag of soldier rations and looked at Yoruichi Yagami, asking, “Want some?”

"No need." Yagami Yoruichi, looking like she had PTSD, quickly refused: "I've already eaten at the teacher's, let's go straight to training."

Chapter 70 The Ninja Tool Shop, Another Glimpse of the Dark Side (Bonus Chapter, Please Read On)

The next day, Yagami Yoruichi went to the Uchiha clan's territory and found Uchiha Inahi.

When Yagami Yoruichi extended an invitation to Uchiha Inahisa to team up for a mission, the latter agreed almost without hesitation.

Subsequently, Yagami Yoruichi approached Maruboshi Kosuke and invited him to join her team as well.

With the promises of the three, Yagami Yoruichi arrived at the Senju clan's territory to pay her respects to Tsunade.

"Teacher, I've already found my teammates." Yagami Yoruichi got straight to the point and immediately announced the list: "Besides me, there's Kosuke-senpai, Hatake Kakashi, and Uchiha Inahi. Kakashi and Inahi were classmates at the Ninja Academy. Inahi is a few years older than us, and both of them have strength close to that of a Special Jonin."

"Approaching Special Jonin? Are all the kids at the Ninja Academy this strong now?" Tsunade muttered, without doubting Yoruichi Yagami's words.

This kind of thing is easy to verify.

Tsunade pulled out a scroll and started writing quickly with a pen.

After a moment, Tsunade stopped writing, tossed the scroll to Yagami Yoruichi, and said, "Mission order: Within three days, wipe out the bandit gang located in Hejian Village. Mission level is C."

Yagami Yoruichi was somewhat dumbfounded.

I thought that the worst thing Tsunade could do was go to Hiruzen Sarutobi and make him write a mission order by hand.

Unexpectedly, she wrote one herself and even stamped it with Tsunade's seal.

Is the mission warrant valid if it's Tsunade's seal, not the Hokage's seal?

What if we get arrested before we even leave the village, mistaken for a rogue ninja trying to escape?

Yagami Yoruichi hesitated for a moment.

However, after only a moment's hesitation, Yagami Yoruichi put away the mission token.

Since Tsunade was able to produce this, it must be a valid piece of evidence.

"Thank you so much, teacher." Yagami Yoruichi quickly expressed his gratitude, then asked, "Aren't you going, teacher?"

"I'm not your team leader. With Uncle Kosuke here, there's nothing to worry about. However, if you don't perform well, don't come asking me for missions again." Tsunade yawned and started shooing them away: "Get lost, don't disturb my nap. Women age quickly if they don't get enough sleep!"

"With the Yin Seal in place, you won't age even after several decades." Yagami Yoruichi thought to himself, but dared not show any abnormality. He quickly bowed and took his leave: "Teacher, I'll go meet up with my teammates and prepare for the mission. I won't disturb you any longer."

As they left, a piece of paper fell from the scroll's inner lining.

When Yagami Yoruichi picked it up, he saw that it was a deposit slip for 50,000 taels.

Clearly, Tsunade had considered Yagami Yoruichi's financial situation and gave her a sum of money in advance to purchase equipment and ninja tools.

"The teacher is really stubborn but soft-hearted." A touch of emotion welled up in Yagami Yoruichi's heart as she carefully put away the deposit slip.

After saying that, Yagami Yoruichi immediately left, informing the team members of the mission details and agreeing to meet at the entrance of Konoha Village early the next morning.

……

Commercial street.

A ninja tool shop called 'Spin Spin Spin'.

"Is this Tenten's ninja tool shop? They've been using this name for so long. It seems that Boruto fans' guess that it was named in memory of Neji was wrong." Yagami Yoruichi muttered to herself as she walked into the shop.

"Welcome!" A welcoming voice rang out, and an old woman asked Yagami Yoruichi earnestly, "What kind of ninja tools do you need? Are you a student at the Ninja Academy? We have the latest wooden ninja tool sets, with the same feel and center of gravity as real ninja tools, perfect for ninja academy students to practice with."

"No, I want real ninja tools." Yagami Yoruichi took out her wallet, which contained 50,000 ryo in cash that she had just withdrawn: "I want a standard set of kunai and shuriken, plus two smoke bombs, ten explosive tags, and a roll of wire."

Hearing Yagami Yoruichi's words, the old woman looked her over and hesitated before saying, "You're not a formal ninja yet, are you? According to the rules, students at the Ninja Academy can buy training tools such as kunai, shuriken, and wire. But explosive tags are prohibited."

Kunai and shuriken also pose a certain degree of danger.

However, compared to detonators, it is still within the 'safe' range.

Explosive tags are something that is subject to relatively strict control.

Let alone those without ninja status, even legitimate ninjas are not allowed to stockpile too many explosive tags without a certain status or position.

Upon hearing this, Yagami Yoru had no choice but to take out the mission warrant given to him by Tsunade and say, "Although I am not a ninja, I have been specially approved to carry out ninja missions. The supplies I have purchased this time are all required for the mission."

"This warrant..." The old woman took the warrant and checked it over. After confirming that there were no problems, she hesitated and said, "Since it's a mission, I can sell you explosive tags, but no more than five. According to village regulations, for a C-level mission, a maximum of five explosive tags can be purchased."

Is there such a rule?

Yagami Yoruichi was surprised, but she didn't ask any further questions. She nodded and said, "Five then. As for the rest, just do as I said. Is that alright?"

"No problem, I'll prepare it right away." The old woman quickly agreed, taking out the ninja tools that Yagami Yoruichi wanted from the counter and putting them into her ninja tool bag. She added, "Here's a ninja tool bag for you. It's specially designed so it can be hung on your waist or tied to your leg. If you find it useful, please help us spread the word."

"Your ninja tools have been packed up. This is a payment of thirteen thousand taels." The old woman handed the packed ninja tool package to Yagami Yoruichi with both hands, along with a bill.

Yagami Yoruichi glanced at the bill and found no problems with the prices. In fact, the kunai and shuriken were even slightly cheaper than normal prices.

I randomly picked up a kunai and checked it. The quality was quite good. Its center of gravity was stable, and its hardness and sharpness were better than the practice kunai issued by the ninja academy.

After confirming that the quality was fine, Yagami Yoruichi took out her wallet, counted out a stack of bills, and handed them over.

"I wish you a successful mission." The old woman warmly saw Yagami Yoruichi to the door.

As I was leaving the store, a young man in a short-sleeved shirt, with a strong, muscular physique, was carrying two large boxes on his shoulders. He walked towards me and just passed by Yagami Yoruichi, who was leaving the ninja tool store.

"Mom, was that a customer who came to buy ninja tools?" The man's voice came from behind.

"Yes, he looks only about ten years old, and he's already on a mission. It's really..." The old woman muttered, then suddenly stopped herself from finishing her sentence and asked, "Tiancun, did they give you any trouble over there?"
