Konoha's Hextech Ninja

With a physical attribute of nearly 4,000 and a chakra limit of nearly 6,000, it means that, in terms of pure numerical values, Yoruichi Yagami has surpassed the vast majority of Jonin.

Even most elite Jonin find it difficult to reach the level of Yagami Yoruichi in terms of stats.

If there's any weakness, it's that he has too few ninjutsu techniques and not enough practical combat experience.

If Yagami Yoruichi can make up for these two shortcomings, her combat power will immediately leap to the level of an elite Jonin.

If we compare him to the characters in the original work, he's not even comparable to top-tier elite Jonin like Sakumo Hatake.

He's at least not much weaker than the weaker members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

These are just two pieces of equipment, combined with the Rui Tian Di template, yet they have boosted Yagami Yoruichi's strength to such an astonishing level.

Based on this rate of improvement, once the third completed item, [Mana Blade], is acquired, will the player directly reach the Shadow tier?

Upon considering this possibility, Yagami Yoruichi paused for a moment.

When she activated the system, Yagami Yoruichi knew that with the 'Emperor Rui's Template', she would eventually become a powerful figure in the ninja world.

But the day came so early, seemingly within reach, yet it still felt like a dream to Yoruichi Yagami.

After a moment of confusion, Yagami Yoruichi finally came to her senses and focused her attention on the system shop.

"The next item will definitely be [Mana Cleaver]. The improvement from the Tear of the Goddess three-piece set is much greater than other equipment. Moreover, the value of the [Physical to Magical] Hextech item can only be truly realized after [Mana Cleaver] is completed."

"Although with my chakra reserves, I am not lacking in the power of ninjutsu, it would definitely be a good thing to be able to unleash stronger ninjutsu with less chakra."

"The only problem is that the [Morcerer's Scythe] is a bit pricey, just like the [Seraph's Embrace], costing 2900 gold coins. If I rely solely on [Red Packet] Hextech items, it will take almost five months to save up, until next semester..."

"Looks like I need to find my teacher and take on a few more bandit-suppression missions. If I can kill dozens of bandits and robbers each time, I should be able to save up enough money for the [Demon Cutter] in about three or four missions."

"Hong's birthday is coming soon, so let's not rush things. We'll go see the teacher after Hong's birthday."

After a moment's thought, Yagami Yoruichi made a decision: once Kurenai Yuhi's birthday was over, she would seek Tsunade's help and take on a few more bandit-suppression missions to speed up her strength improvement.

"However, I wonder if Tsunade-sensei will find an excuse to test me or make any other demands?" Yagami Yoruichi felt a chill run down his spine at the thought of the huge pile of medical books Tsunade had given him.

Being Tsunade's student is great.

The only thing that caused Yagami Yoruichi great distress was studying medicine.

However, whether considering her status as Tsunade's student or from the perspective of strength, medical ninjutsu can give Yoruichi Yagami stronger combat power, so learning this aspect is very necessary.

Despite the pain, Yagami Yoruichi did not give up on the idea of ​​medical ninjutsu.

This is related to survival skills; you can never have too many survival skills.

Chapter 81 Yagami Yoruichi: I'm sorry, Kurenai, I can't be with you today.

"Yoruichi-kun..."

Kurenai Yuhi saw Yoruichi Yagami and happily ran towards her.

Just as she was about to say something, Yagami Yoruichi spoke first: "Kurenai, I've accepted a mission and will be leaving the village for a few days. I won't be able to train with you for the next few days."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Kurenai Yuhi was stunned, and disappointment appeared in her eyes.

The invitation that was on the tip of his tongue was swallowed back down.

"Don't be upset, it'll only be a few days, a week at most." Yagami Yoruichi pretended not to notice Kurenai's disappointment, reached out and ruffled her hair, and asked softly, "Kurenai, you seemed to have something to say just now?"

"No, I just wanted to ask if you still want to train together today. Since you have a mission, then forget it." Kurenai forced a smile, not mentioning that it was her birthday and she wanted Yoruichi Yagami to spend it with her.

"Well, I'm going now~ Be good and wait for me to come back."

As Yagami Yoruichi withdrew her hand from Kurenai Yuhi's head and turned to leave, she subtly winked at Shizune.

Behind Yagami Yoruichi, Kurenai Yuhi watched him walk out of the school gate, her head lowered, her small face filled with conflict.

"You jerk, you didn't even remember my birthday! Of all times to go on a mission, you had to pick today! I never want to be friends with you again!"

Kurenai muttered to herself in a voice only she could hear, not even noticing Shizune walking up to her.

……

Outside the school, Kakashi Hatake caught up with Yoruichi Yagami and said, "Your girlfriend seems unhappy."

"To surprise her, we have to keep it a secret for now." Yagami Yoruichi quickened her pace and said, "Let's hurry over there, Shizune won't be able to hold out much longer."

The so-called 'mission' was obviously fake.

In order to celebrate Kurenai's birthday, Yagami Yoru had conspired with many classmates beforehand, including Sarutobi Asuma, with whom he wasn't on good terms, and Uchiha Obito, whom he wasn't very familiar with.

Throughout Class A of the first year, only Kurenai Yuhi remained completely unaware of the truth.

While Kurenai was held back by Shizune, Yoruichi Yagami had to get there first to make preparations.

The two ran quickly and soon arrived at the Akimichi clan's barbecue restaurant.

"Uncle Torifu." Yagami Yoruichi saw Akimichi Torifu waiting at the shop entrance and quickly went up to him, asking, "Uncle Torifu, is my room ready?"

Since making a lot of money from the last mission, Yagami Yoruichi has frequently visited the Akimichi clan's barbecue restaurant to improve her meals, and most of the money she earned went into her food.

After visiting many times, I naturally got to know Akimichi Torifu.

The latter took good care of Yagami Yoruichi because of Maruboshi Kosuke.

For Kurenai's birthday celebration, Yoruichi Yagami almost didn't think twice and immediately chose this location.

"Everything's ready. I'll take you to see it." Akimichi Torifu stood up with a smile and said to Yagami Yoruichi, "It's my girlfriend's birthday? She'll be so happy to see it."

"I hope so," Yagami Yoruichi replied with a smile.

Upon arriving at the reserved private room, the door opened to reveal that the entire room had been decorated like a birthday party, filled with balloons and ribbons, and the walls were covered with banners bearing various blessings.

"Let's see what's missing. I'll have someone prepare it now." Akimichi Torifu looked at Yagami Yoruichi.

"It's already very good." Yagami Yoruichi checked it over and confirmed that all the details in the private room were arranged according to her plan. She nodded in satisfaction and said to Akimichi Torifu, "Uncle Torifu, thank you for your help."

"It's nothing. Kosuke asked me to take care of you, so of course I'll take it to heart." Akimichi Torifu, with his large pregnant belly, had an extremely kind smile on his face.

But anyone who thinks he's a good-natured, honest person would be sorely mistaken.

The Akimichi clan's kindness extends only to those they consider their 'comrades'.

When facing external threats, this clan is Konoha's strongest iron fist!

"Kakashi, notify the others to come as soon as possible," Yagami Yoruichi said to Hatake Kakashi.

The latter nodded, then flipped out the window and disappeared in an instant.

"That kid, he had the door but insisted on climbing through the window!" Akimichi Torifu watched Kakashi Hatake's departing figure angrily, muttering curses under his breath.

But you could tell from the smile in his eyes that he wasn't really angry.

After a while, Kakashi Hatake arrived with Might Guy, Rin Nohara, and others.

Most of the students had arrived, except for Shizune and Kurenai.

"When is Red coming?" Might Guy asked impatiently. "I can't wait to give Red the gift that represents youth!"

“Kai…” Yagami Yoruichi thought of Might Guy’s unreliable personality and said with a black line on his face, “I warned you, you are absolutely not allowed to give him any green bodysuits!”

Yoruichi Yagami couldn't imagine what it would be like if Kurenai Yuhi wore that strange green bodysuit that Might Guy wore.

To prevent Might Guy from actually sending such a bizarre gift, Yagami Yoruichi had already given him a serious warning when he informed him that they would be celebrating Kurenai Yuhi's birthday together.

"Tight-fitting clothes are great, they're breathable and dry, very stretchy, and you won't feel uncomfortable no matter how much you sweat..."

Might Guy muttered to himself, then realized what was happening when he saw Yoruichi Yagami's murderous glare: "Don't worry, don't worry, the gift I gave you is definitely not a bodysuit!"

"That's good." Yagami Yoruichi breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it's not a bodysuit, other gifts, even if they're weird, shouldn't be too outrageous... right?

As Yagami Yoruichi was pondering this, she suddenly had a bad feeling.

"By the way," Kakashi Hatake said, looking at Yoruichi Yagami, "Is everything alright with Shizune?"

"Don't worry, the appointed time is almost here." Yagami Yoru checked the time and said to Akimichi Torifu, "Torifu-san, Kurenai should be here soon, so I'll have to trouble you."

Knowing Yagami Yoruichi's plan, Akimichi Torifu nodded and said, "I'll wait at the door and find an excuse to invite them in."

……

On the shopping street, Kurenai was being dragged around by Shizune, but her mind was elsewhere. The image of Yoruichi Yagami's smile kept popping into her head, making her feel increasingly agitated.

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out: "Red, why aren't you with Yoruichi today? It's rare to see you two apart."

Kurenai looked up and saw a chubby, round face. Recognizing the person, she forced a smile and said, "Yoruichi is away. She went shopping with Shizune today. Shizune, this is Uncle Akimichi Torifu from the Akimichi clan."

Kurenai introduced the two to each other, and after they greeted each other, Akimichi Torifu smiled and said to Kurenai, "You haven't had dinner yet, have you? It's my treat today, so please have dinner before you leave."

"Huh?" Kurenai Yuhi was taken aback.

Before he could refuse, Akimichi Torifu pushed him into the store.

The door to the private room opened, and a large number of colorful ribbons floated into the air. A familiar face appeared in front of Kurenai Yuhi.

Holding a bouquet of flowers, Yagami Yoruichi stood in front of Kurenai Yuhi and said with a smile, "Kurenai, happy birthday~!"

Chapter 82 The Little Girl's Birthday Surprise

"You scoundrel, you lied to me!"

Kurenai excitedly rushed into Yoruichi Yagami's arms, reaching out a small hand to pinch the soft flesh on his side and squeezing it hard.

Yagami Yoruichi winced in pain, secretly wondering to herself, "Are girls born with this skill?"

However, it feels quite nice to hold a little girl in your arms like this.

"Alright, everyone's watching." Yagami Yoruichi reluctantly pushed Kurenai Yuhi away from his arms and pulled her to a seat.

It was only then that Kurenai realized that the entire class was present.

Thinking about how she had just acted in front of so many people, Kurenai blushed slightly, almost turning into a steampunk princess.

However, she wasn't as shy as Hinata Hyuga, and managed to maintain a semblance of composure. She was led by Yoruichi Yagami to sit in the main seat, and, suppressing her shyness, said to everyone, "Thank you everyone for preparing for my birthday."

"Looks like you two are going to get together?" A girl who was on good terms with Kurenai Yuhi chuckled mischievously as she leaned closer to Kurenai and whispered, "Yoruichi is very popular, you'd better keep a close eye on him."

Kurenai Yuhi, who was initially shy, immediately flew into a rage upon hearing Rin Nohara's words: "Who dares to take them from me! I'll beat them to a pulp!"
