Konoha's Hextech Ninja

A complete guide to Water Release ninjutsu left by Tobirama Senju, including notes he took while practicing Water Release techniques.

This item is priceless to any water-style ninja.

The other two are of lower value, but they are also notes left by Hiruzen Sarutobi when he was training in Fire Release and Wind Release, and are equally valuable.

There is also a brief introduction to all the Fire Release and Wind Release ninjutsu recorded in Konoha.

It only describes the general effects of ninjutsu and the difficulty (level) of training, without more specific information, and is only for reference.

There is another line of smaller text below.

"You can choose five Fire Release techniques and five Wind Release techniques, of which no more than three can be of Rank B or higher. Don't blindly pursue power; choose the ninjutsu that best suits your fighting style. —Tsunade."

Yagami Yoruichi revealed a slight smile.

My teacher is always stubborn in words but soft in heart.

They clearly care about themselves, but always pretend to be indifferent.

"Thank you, teacher."

Yagami Yoru carefully put the scroll away, washed up, lay down on the bed, and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Yagami Yoruichi arrived at the Hokage Building to meet with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Lord Hokage."

Yagami Yoruichi bowed politely.

"Yoruichi, there's no need to be so formal," Hiruzen Sarutobi said affectionately. "You're Tsunade's disciple, so by all accounts, I'm your grandmaster."

That old rascal is wicked; he's trying to take advantage of me!

While Yagami Yoruichi thought to herself, she said aloud, "Propriety cannot be disregarded. The Hokage is the Hokage and should maintain his dignity."

Even Yoruichi Yagami herself felt awkward saying this, but Hiruzen Sarutobi was overjoyed and laughed heartily, thoroughly enjoying the feeling of being praised by the village's younger genius.

After laughing for a while, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression turned serious as he said, "In recognition of your contributions, the village has decided to reward you. I'm sure Tsunade has already told you that you can choose a few ninjutsu. Do you have a target in mind?"

Yoruichi Yagami had already considered it. After a moment's thought, she said, "Regarding Fire Release ninjutsu, I want Great Fire Annihilation, Dust Concealment Technique... and Wind Release..."

Yagami Yoruichi quickly recited the names of ten ninjutsu.

All five Wind Release techniques are C-rank, while the Fire Release techniques are three B-rank and two C-rank.

It includes wide-range attacks, single-target attacks, and several functional ninjutsu for different purposes.

It basically covers all aspects, and with Tobirama Senju's Water Release and Tsunade's medical ninjutsu, it can be said that there are no obvious shortcomings.

Of course, it's far from being completely omnipotent.

But at least in terms of attack and defense, there are no obvious shortcomings.

However, it has certain shortcomings in certain situations that require sealing techniques.

However, becoming a truly flawless 'all-around ninja' is not an easy task.

Yagami Yoruichi has only been on the path of a ninja for a little over a year.

To have such strength now, coupled with the fact that there are no obvious weaknesses in combat, is already quite remarkable.

As for other shortcomings outside of combat, we can make up for them later.

"Nightingale!" Hiruzen Sarutobi called out, and an ANBU member appeared next to Yoruichi Yagami.

Yagami Yoruichi couldn't help but turn her head to glance at the ANBU member, inwardly marveling, "What an amazing Body Flicker Technique! I almost didn't even sense it!"

Yoruichi Yagami did not activate her [Wind Sense], but during this mission, she maintained her [Wind Sense] for an extended period, which made her normal senses even more acute.

He could sense that this ANBU member was far weaker than himself, at most barely reaching the level of a Jonin.

But this instantaneous movement technique was truly amazing.

Even among Jonin who excel in speed, few can match him.

"A special body-flicker technique unique to the Anbu? I wonder how it compares to Hanzo's Water Body Flicker," Yagami Yoruichi pondered.

"Nightingale, take him to choose a ninjutsu." Hiruzen Sarutobi instructed, then looked at Yoruichi Yagami and said, "You can copy the ninjutsu you choose, but you can't take the original with you."

It should have been added that "this should not be disclosed to outsiders".

But this rule applies to ordinary ninjas.

There are not many constraints on Tsunade's disciples.

Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that there was no point in talking about it, so he simply stopped mentioning it.

"Yes, Lord Hokage." Yagami Yoruichi responded and followed the Anbu member wearing the Nightingale Mask to the Ninjutsu Room to copy ninjutsu scrolls.

“Yagami Yoruichi…” Hiruzen Sarutobi watched Yagami Yoruichi’s departing figure, a vague doubt rising in his mind: “Is it just my imagination? His chakra actually makes me feel pressured? No matter how great a genius is, he is only seven years old after all. How can he have such amazing chakra? Hmm, it’s probably just that he’s been under too much pressure lately and is hallucinating.”

Chapter 122 Uchiha Madara?

Previously, at the front-line camp, due to the environment and confidentiality regulations, Yagami Yoruichi was unable to openly practice ninjutsu.

Having stayed there for so long, Yagami Yoru had long been unable to hold back any longer.

After returning to the village and resting briefly, Yagami Yoruichi immediately threw herself into intense training.

After acquiring the full set of six divine items, Yoruichi Yagami's stats will see a significant increase with each attribute cycle.

Nowadays, creating dozens of shadow clones for intensive training is not a big burden for Yagami Yoruichi.

While it can't compare to the monstrous level of Naruto's hundreds or thousands of shadow clones, compared to the vast majority of normal ninjas, the improvement in training efficiency brought by dozens of shadow clones can only be described as astonishing.

Despite having more and more to learn, Yoruichi Yagami's speed of improvement did not slow down at all; on the contrary, it tended to get faster and faster.

After all, no matter what kind of ninjutsu you learn, the most basic principles are the same.

As Yagami Yoruichi's control over chakra and his mastery of nature transformation deepened, learning and mastering new ninjutsu became increasingly easier.

At the Konoha training ground.

Yagami Yoruichi created a bunch of shadow clones to practice various ninjutsu in the distance, while her main body accompanied Yuhi Kurenai in her daily training.

Both of them had previously taken extended leave from the ninja academy.

When Yagami Yoruichi returned this time, he didn't rush to cancel his leave.

In any case, the courses at the ninja academy were already dispensable to both of them.

It would be better to spend more time on individual training.

As for the ninja academy, if you don't want to take on a mission, you can use your identity as a 'ninja academy student' as an excuse to refuse.

When they want to go out, they can simply ask Tsunade for a mission privately.

Having this identity makes things much more flexible.

……

After a series of battles, with Yoruichi Yagami intentionally holding back, Kurenai Yuhi held on for more than ten minutes before being 'hard-fought' defeated by Yoruichi Yagami.

Despite Yagami Yoruichi creating numerous shadow clones and retaining only two thousand chakra points in her main body, her taijutsu abilities, granted by her monstrous physical attributes, made her a formidable opponent that Kurenai Yuhi could not easily handle.

If you don't let the water out, the fight will end in seconds, and it won't have any training effect at all.

However, through this battle, Yagami Yoruichi was also able to confirm that Kurenai Yuhi's strength had indeed improved considerably since she left the village.

In terms of taijutsu alone, he already has a pretty good level among Chunin.

In terms of genjutsu, although he hasn't reached the level of a special jonin, he's very close.

Yoruichi Yagami is unaware of Kurenai Yuhi's growth trajectory in the original work, as she is only a minor character with limited screen time.

However, judging from the combat power shown by Kurenai Yuhi during Naruto's era, at her current rate of progress, she is estimated to be close to, or even surpass, the level in the original work by the time she graduates from the Ninja Academy.

Of course, this is based on a normal graduation time of six years.

But the next Shinobi World War obviously won't happen until then.

Once the Fourth Shinobi World War breaks out, at least the geniuses of Yoruichi Yagami's generation, whether they like it or not, will have to graduate early and join the battlefield.

"I don't know how many more years it will take, but in the Land of Wind, it's basically confirmed that the Third Kazekage has disappeared and Sasori of the Red Sand has also defected."

Yagami Yoruichi pondered, "I estimate that the Third Shinobi World War will break out soon. My own strength is already sufficient, but Kurenai's strength... I'll have to ask my teacher to let Kurenai be on my team to ensure her safety."

Yoruichi Yagami pondered how to protect those around her should a future ninja war break out.

But his absent-mindedness annoyed Kurenai: "Hey, what are you thinking about?!"

Kurenai Yuhi waved her hand in front of Yoruichi Yagami's eyes a few times and asked, "Was there something I did wrong just now?"

"No, your strength has improved a lot." Yagami Yoruichi came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Especially in taijutsu, the progress is very obvious. Your biggest weakness right now is that you don't have enough chakra, so you can't last too long. But as you get older, your chakra will gradually increase, so there's no need to worry too much."

Yagami Yoruichi said this, but he knew in his heart that Kurenai Yuhi was not the type who was good at chakra.

Even though her chakra reserves increase with age and physical development, her chakra reserves are still relatively low among Jonin-level ninjas.

However, genjutsu-type ninjas do not require as much chakra as ninjutsu-type ninjas.

Having less chakra won't have a significant impact on combat power.

However, this only sets the target at the 'Jonin' level.

If you want to advance further, an abundant amount of chakra is essential.

Fortunately, there are many ways to increase chakra levels in the ninja world.

Even if they can't compare to overpowered characters like Yoruichi Yagami, Naruto Uzumaki, and Hashirama Senju, it would still be good to improve.

However, most methods for increasing chakra levels have various drawbacks.

Finding a method without side effects requires a lot of effort.

A series of thoughts flashed through Yagami Yoruichi's mind, but on the surface, he pretended to be nonchalant and analyzed the battle with Yuhi Kurenai.

“Kurenai, when you used the ‘Naraku-sight Technique’ just now, you shouldn’t have immediately attacked with physical attacks. Before confirming whether I was under a genjutsu, it would have been better to probe with ranged attacks first. If the enemy is pretending to be under a genjutsu like I just did, and then ambushes you when you get close, you will be in great danger…”

Yoruichi Yagami analyzed the previous exchange with Kurenai Yuhi, trying his best to use his combat experience to help Kurenai grow as quickly as possible.

Kurenai is still too young, and Yoruichi Yagami couldn't bear to let her experience the darkness and cruelty of the ninja world too early.

However, in terms of combat experience, Yagami Yoruichi can do her best to help her improve as quickly as possible.

If a ninja war were to break out in the future, it would allow Kurenai Yuhi to adapt to the various dangers on the battlefield in the shortest possible time.
