Konoha's Hextech Ninja

Was Tsunade frantically searching for him because of Orochimaru?

Judging from Tsunade's anxious appearance, could it be that Orochimaru had some scheme against her that Tsunade discovered?

Countless thoughts flashed through Yagami Yoruichi's mind. She frowned slightly, but said aloud, "No, I have never met Lord Orochimaru. I have only heard of his reputation."

Hearing Yagami Yoruichi's answer, Tsunade was relieved and instructed, "If he tries to contact you, ignore him and notify me immediately."

Now, Yagami Yoruichi was almost certain that Orochimaru had indeed set his sights on her.

Could it be that he discovered his own physical condition was unusual, became curious, and wanted to use himself as a guinea pig?

Based on Yagami Yoruichi's impression of Orochimaru, this guy was a perverted scientist whose favorite thing to do was to dissect people for research or use 'Reanimation Jutsu' to take over other people's bodies.

However, at this point, Orochimaru most likely hasn't completed the 'Reanimation Jutsu' yet. If he has his eye on me, the possibility of him wanting to dissect me for research is probably higher.

In the past, without any access to ninjutsu, Yagami Yoruichi might have chosen to risk joining Orochimaru's ranks.

But now that she has already become Tsunade's student, Yagami Yoruichi is naturally unwilling to risk cooperating with Orochimaru again.

"Teacher, I understand." Yagami Yoruichi pretended to be clueless but obedient in response.

"Here, take these flares." Tsunade shoved several flares into Yoruichi Yagami's hand, emphasizing, "If anyone attacks you, fire the flares immediately."

Isn't this making a mountain out of a molehill?

Yoruichi Yagami was somewhat confused, but she still obediently accepted the signal flare.

Orochimaru, this freakish scientist, may not be the strongest, but his level of danger is definitely no less than that of any powerful individual.

Other powerful individuals, to a greater or lesser extent, still have some sense of shame and will not easily resort to overly insidious and despicable methods.

But Orochimaru would never care about saving face.

He would never engage in direct combat if he could resolve a situation through a sneak attack or poison.

This signal flare is good as an extra layer of protection.

Yoruichi Yagami carefully put away the signal flare, then feigned a blank expression and asked, "Sensei, what happened? Orochimaru-sama, isn't he your teammate?"

"Don't ask for the specifics, just remember that Orochimaru has ill intentions towards you."

Tsunade hesitated for a moment, then said, "Starting today, you will move into my house."

Chapter 103: Job Titles in the Workplace!

The land of the Thousand Hands Clan.

Yagami Yoruichi had just finished her morning routine workout and returned carrying a bag of various ingredients.

The part-time job at Ichiraku Ramen has been handed over to Might Guy, and Yoruichi Yagami is too embarrassed to go there to freeload every day anymore, so she can only go home and cook for herself after exercising.

I pushed open the door and heard noises coming from the kitchen.

"Yoruichi-kun." Shizune said somewhat apologetically when she saw Yagami Yoruichi, "I'm preparing breakfast, it'll be ready in a while."

Yagami Yoruichi held up the bag in her hand and asked, "Didn't you go home yesterday? I thought you weren't here."

Shizune sometimes stays at Tsunade's house, but most of the time she lives at her own home.

A house left to his niece by Kato Dan after his death.

The night before, Shizune had dinner at Tsunade's place and then went home.

"If I don't come, no one will prepare breakfast for Lady Tsunade." Shizune's tone was a little strange.

I don't know if it's because of Tsunade's personality.

"Let's do it together. What are you planning to make?" Yagami Yoruichi took out the ingredients she had bought while exercising that morning from her bag and skillfully began to prepare them. She said, "I'm going to make chicken ramen for breakfast and then fry some pork cutlets for my lunchbox."

Shizune quickly replied, "Then I'll prepare the rice balls and pickled vegetables."

"Let's do it together then." Yagami Yoichi glanced at the food Shizune had prepared and said casually, "We can fry some more tempura. If you don't know how, just cut it up and leave it there for me to prepare."

Although Yagami Yoruichi was a little surprised that Shizune came so early in the morning, it wouldn't be much trouble to cook for one more person.

Skillfully, they put a whole chicken, pork bones, beef bones, and various ingredients into a soup pot to simmer, and then quickly process the other ingredients.

Yoruichi Yagami's cooking skills weren't particularly outstanding, but after all, she had lived alone in her previous life, and she was alone in this world as well.

It's only because I now have a decent income, and because I've met Yuhi Kurenai and we often go out on dates that we frequently eat out.

In the past, to save money, Yagami Yoruichi would buy groceries and cook for herself at home for every meal.

My cooking skills may not be as good as those of professional chefs, but they are more than enough to handle everyday family meals.

Compared to Yagami Yoruichi, Shizune seemed much less experienced, but she was clearly the type who could cook. It just seemed like they hadn't known each other for very long, and sometimes she appeared flustered.

"Don't rush. Prepare all the side dishes first before putting them in the pan. When frying tempura, pay attention to the heat. Add the foods that can withstand frying first, and add the fish slices, shrimp, and other foods that need to be cooked quickly last."

While busy with his own affairs, Yagami Yoruichi taught Shizune a few words.

"Yes, I understand." Shizune quickly did as instructed, and it went much more smoothly. She immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Yoruichi-kun is amazing! Not only is your talent for cultivation strong, but your cooking skills are also incredible!"

“The more you do it, the more skilled you become.” Yagami Yoruichi shook her head and asked, “Should we eat by ourselves or call the teacher to join us? If we wait until she wakes up naturally, she definitely won’t make it to school in time.”

Mentioning Tsunade, Shizune gave a strange look and said, "We'll eat first. Teacher's portion can stay in the kitchen. She'll come and eat when she wakes up."

"Just as I thought."

As if nothing was amiss, Yagami Yoruichi checked the heat of the chicken soup, cut the already fried pork and beef cutlets into four portions, took out the prepared lunchboxes, packed them in, and started boiling a pot of water to cook the ramen.

Before long, all the food was ready. Yagami Yoruichi and Shizune finished their breakfast, tidied up the kitchen, left a note for Tsunade, packed their lunch boxes, and hurriedly left.

Ninja Academy.

As Yagami Yoruichi and Shizune entered the classroom, they were greeted by Kurenai Yuhi's murderous gaze.

"Why did you two come together?!" The little girl's tone was like a spilled jar of vinegar, and the air was filled with a sour smell.

"I'm currently living at Tsunade-sensei's house," Yagami Yoruichi explained, reminding her, "Shizune became Tsunade-sensei's student even earlier than me and has always lived at her house."

"Then you two are living together?!" Kurenai Yuhi's eyes widened suddenly.

Yagami Yoichi: "..."

Isn't your focus a bit too strange?

“There are many empty houses in the Senju clan’s territory. I live in the house next to the teacher’s, and Shizune lives in another house.”

Knowing that Kurenai was jealous, Yagami Yoruichi quickly explained and it took a lot of effort to appease the little girl.

Kurenai Yuhi knew that this was not something Yoruichi Yagami could decide on her own; it depended on Tsunade's arrangements. After a brief tiff, she quickly calmed down under Yoruichi's coaxing and cajoling.

The two joked around for a while, and then it was time for class to start, and the classroom instantly fell silent.

Instead of listening to the lecture, Yagami Yoruichi pulled out a book about chakra meridians that Tsunade had given her and began reading it diligently.

On her way to school, Yagami Yoruichi created a shadow clone to practice ninjutsu at the training ground, as her main body didn't have much chakra left.

However, it's just reading, so it doesn't have much of an impact.

While reading, one can also recover physical strength and refine chakra. By noon, one can create a new batch of shadow clones to continue training.

Without pushing the limits, one can create three batches of shadow clones a day, ensuring that more than twenty shadow clones can train ninjutsu at a high intensity throughout the day.

With such high efficiency, Yagami Yoruichi's ninjutsu proficiency improved rapidly, and her speed in developing and improving certain ninjutsu was also astonishing.

However, this is far from Yagami Yoruichi's ideal state.

After all, in the original work, Naruto Uzumaki could use hundreds of shadow clones to train in ninjutsu around the clock.

Although Yoruichi Yagami has a large amount of chakra, it is not even in the same league as freaks like Naruto Uzumaki and Hashirama Senju.

Currently, even with more than twenty shadow clones, each clone can only maintain high-intensity training for two to three hours at a time before their chakra is exhausted.

If you don't quickly replenish your chakra with soldier pills, creating three shadow clones a day is already the limit.

As for taking drugs or military ration pills, the short-term effects are not significant, but long-term use will still cause some harm to the body.

Yoruichi Yagami wanted to improve her strength quickly, but she didn't want to resort to such a drastic measure as mortgaging her future just to speed up her training.

The current rate of improvement in strength is already enough to satisfy Yagami Yoruichi.

While reading, Yagami Yoruichi also spared a sliver of attention to refine his chakra.

Halfway through the morning's theory class, Yagami Yoruichi's chakra had already recovered most of its power.

More than twenty shadow clones disappeared one after another, and their memories were transmitted back to the original body.

A flood of memories and exhaustion washed over her, causing Yagami Yoruichi's face to turn pale.

However, Yagami Yoru was already used to this feeling, and after only feeling slightly uncomfortable for a while, he quickly adjusted.

Kurenai, who was beside her, seemed to have noticed something, turned her head, and looked at Yoruichi Yagami with concern.

"I'm fine. The memories of the Shadow Clone have returned. I just need to rest." Yagami Yoruichi patted Kurenai Yuhi's small hand, put down the book in her hand, and lay down on the table to pretend to doze off.

The teacher on the podium glanced at Yagami Yoruichi, but without any expression, immediately looked away.

If an average student, or even a student at the bottom of the class, were to fall asleep in his class, they would definitely be given a good scolding.

But Yagami Yoruichi, a super genius whose reputation even reached the Hokage's ears?

Forget it, I'm just an ordinary Chunin, I can't afford to offend him!

The teacher pretended not to see anything and continued lecturing.

……

The Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the crystal ball on the table.

Inside the crystal ball, the 'telescope technique' was used to broadcast live footage of Yagami Yoruichi's class.

Yoruichi Yagami was sleeping, Obito Uchiha was peeking at Rin Nohara in the front row, and Kakashi Hatake's shadow clones were staring blankly like statues...

Hiruzen Sarutobi observed the performance of all the students.

"They're all geniuses, but they're also a bunch of problem students," Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, deciding not to interfere.

Geniuses naturally have their own ways of being nurtured; there's no need to force them to follow the same path as those future cannon fodder who lack talent.

Just then, a figure dressed as a member of the secret service appeared in the office.

"Lord Hokage."
