Konoha's Hextech Ninja

The improved version by Tobirama Senju is even more difficult, reaching the upper limit of B-rank ninjutsu.

As for the Boro version of Water Release: Water Formation Wall, its difficulty would probably reach A-level.

You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to practice ninjutsu step by step.

First, learn the simplest original version. Then, master Tobirama Senju's improved version. Finally, further refine the ninjutsu to fully integrate it into your own combat system.

"Three offensive ninjutsu are enough for now. After learning Water Barrier, I can continue to improve Water Waves in a purely offensive direction, while defense will be entirely handled by Water Barrier."

As Yagami Yoruichi pondered the future tactical system and ninjutsu combinations, she began to learn Water Release: Water Wall, according to the records in the scroll.

The difficulty of this ninjutsu lies in instantly creating a large amount of water with chakra and greatly increasing the density of the water flow to achieve sufficiently strong defensive capabilities.

The chakra consumption is also higher than that of the ninjutsu that Yagami Yoruichi had previously mastered.

However, having a large amount of chakra is Yagami Yoruichi's greatest advantage.

Even a shadow clone possesses Jonin-level chakra, which is more than enough for basic training.

Moreover, when performing Water Release ninjutsu in places with water, such as rivers or lakes, one can use chakra to manipulate the water that already exists in nature, greatly reducing the chakra required to release the ninjutsu.

Yin-Si-Zi-Si-Yin.

Yagami Yoruichi's hand seals are not fast, only about one-fifth of her maximum speed. She focuses her energy on controlling her chakra, trying her best to cast the spell successfully in one go.

This is the method taught by Maruboshi Kosuke: when learning a new ninjutsu, there is no need to pursue speed or power.

Once you can successfully execute it, familiarize your body with and remember the feeling of releasing ninjutsu, and then through continuous practice, you will naturally improve the power and speed of the ninjutsu.

Unless you're a freakish genius who can learn a ninjutsu at a glance, for ordinary ninjutsu geniuses, mastering a new ninjutsu in this way is actually more efficient.

As Yagami Yoruichi's chakra seeped into the river, a wall of water rose from the surface.

The water wall is not very large, about three meters high, three meters wide, and about thirty centimeters thick.

Yagami Yoruichi drew a kunai and threw it with all her might.

The kunai shot into the wall of water as if it had pierced a piece of hard rubber, penetrating more than ten centimeters before exhausting all its kinetic energy and being swept away by the current into the river below.

"I guess it's a success?" Yagami Yoruichi thought with great joy.

On her first attempt, she successfully unleashed a B-rank Water Release technique, a performance that was enough to satisfy Yoruichi Yagami.

Although the process of forming hand seals and mobilizing chakra alone took more than ten seconds, the water wall's defensive power was only enough to defend against ordinary kunai and shuriken.

It is much less effective against attacks with higher attack power, such as ninjutsu and explosive tags.

Such a water-based escape technique—a water barrier—is of no value in actual combat.

But since it has been successfully performed, it means that the ninjutsu has been learned.

Next, as long as you keep practicing and improve your proficiency and control over this ninjutsu, and spend enough time, you will naturally be able to practice this ninjutsu to the point where it can play a key role in actual combat.

"Using the river water will consume about twenty points of chakra."

"Let's try creating a water flow entirely with chakra. How much chakra would that consume?"

Yagami Yoruichi continued to form hand seals and released Water Release: Water Wall once again.

This time, Yoruichi Yagami clearly felt that her chakra consumption had increased several times over.

As the water wall took shape and stood erect in front of her, Yagami Yoruichi immediately calculated the energy consumption of this ninjutsu using the values on the panel.

Two hundred points of chakra!

This is just a three-meter by three-meter water wall. If the scale of the ninjutsu is increased, the consumption will naturally increase accordingly.

"Even a Jonin-level chakra can only be used five times in a waterless environment before it's completely depleted?" Yagami Yoruichi couldn't help but sigh.

The high chakra consumption means this ninjutsu is unsuitable for the vast majority of ninjas.

Even the most skilled ninjas in water-style ninjutsu can only use it freely in environments with natural water if they don't have a large enough amount of chakra.

In a waterless environment, one must be careful with one's resources. If an attack can be defended against by other means, one should never use Water Release: Water Wall to withstand it.

However, this problem did not have a significant impact on Yoruichi Yagami.

Two hundred chakra points is not a negligible amount considering Yoruichi Yagami's current stats.

However, once the [Doomsday Winter] is synthesized, Yagami Yoruichi's chakra limit will experience a leap in increase, and then she will naturally not have to worry about not having enough chakra.

"If I release it using the river water, it only consumes one-tenth of my chakra, and my shadow clone can last for a long time."

Yoruichi Yagami's chakra limit has reached more than 3,000 points, which is more than three times the threshold for Jonin.

After creating two shadow clones, both the original body and each shadow clone possess one thousand points of chakra.

A shadow clone can practice 'Water Release: Water Wall' using the river water, enough to cast it more than twenty times.

With Yagami Yoruichi's talent in Water Release, this amount of practice would definitely improve her proficiency in this ninjutsu considerably.

"Practice until you can release it within two seconds and have enough defense to withstand a normal C-rank attack ninjutsu before learning the Senju Tobirama version of the Water Wall."

Yoruichi Yagami set a goal in her heart.

Having just completed one mission outside the village, it's unrealistic to expect to get another mission from Tsunade in the short term.

It would be better to focus on improving one's skills.

Learning Tobirama Senju's version of Water Release: Water Wall will take some time. Once you've mastered it, try to get some quests from Tsunade to speed up your equipment accumulation.

Chapter 80 Double Happiness, Strength Soars

Inside a secret base in Konoha.

With half his body wrapped in bandages, Shimura Danzo looked at the report in his hand and couldn't help but feel deep regret.

"A first-year student who can already carry out B-rank missions, and perform them flawlessly. Proficient in water, wind, and fire elemental ninjutsu, and even able to learn the teacher's unique Water Release technique..."

As Shimura Danzo looked at Yagami Yoruichi's file, he felt increasingly regretful that he hadn't taken a stronger approach to recruit her into Root when he discovered her genius.

The members of the root are all trained and brainwashed from a young age.

At six or seven years old, although they are not as easy to brainwash as younger children, it is not too late.

If he could have recruited Yoruichi Yagami into Root sooner, even if he had made some concessions to Hiruzen Sarutobi in other areas, the benefits would have been much greater.

"It's a pity. Although I saw he was a genius back then, I didn't expect him to be this talented. Now that he's become Tsunade's disciple, it'll be troublesome to try and take him away. Tsunade isn't a huge threat, but if she really turns against me, it won't be good for my future chance at the Hokage position..."

Danzo Shimura pondered deeply, weighing the pros and cons, hesitating whether to abandon the genius Yoruichi Yagami or turn against Tsunade and directly snatch her to Root.

As for whether it would succeed, Danzo had not considered that question.

Even if Yoruichi Yagami is a genius, she is only seven years old. How strong can she be?

With such a large root system, how could it not control a child?

The real trouble lies with Tsunade and Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Even Maruboshi Kosuke's influence was more of a concern for Shimura Danzo than Yagami Yoruichi herself.

"B!" Danzo Shimura suddenly spoke.

A masked figure wearing a robe appeared silently and knelt on one knee in front of Shimura Danzo.

"Keep an eye on this child's progress. Also, send someone to keep an eye on Maruboshi Kosuke and Tsunade," Shimura Danzo ordered. "Report to me immediately if he leaves the village again."

"Yes!" The root member, codenamed 'B', accepted the order and immediately disappeared.

……

Yoruichi Yagami was unaware of Danzo Shimura's covetousness.

At this point, after more than a month of intensive training, Yagami Yoruichi finally mastered the Senju Tobirama version of Water Release: Water Wall.

At the same time, there is also double good news.

Thanks to the gold coins dropped from the last bandit suppression mission, and with the continued power of the [Red Packet] Hextech over this period of time, Yagami Yoruichi finally accumulated enough gold coins to synthesize [Doomsday Winter].

[Doomsday Winter: +550 Constitution, 1000 Chakra Cap, +15 Skill Speed. 'Reverence': Passive, gains Constitution equal to 15% of maximum Chakra. 'Sustainability': Passive, when an enemy hero is immobilized or slowed, gains a shield value of (100 + 4.5% of maximum Chakra). If there are more than one enemy hero nearby, the shield value is increased by 80%.]

After equipping the [Doomsday Winter] set, Yoruichi Yagami could clearly feel her physical attributes and chakra limits increasing every moment.

This process lasted for more than a month before it gradually stabilized.

When the upgrade process stopped, Yagami Yoruichi opened the system interface to check her own attributes.
