Konoha's Hextech Ninja

But Yagami Yoruichi hadn't decided who to choose yet, so she simply said, "We'll see when the time comes."

"Just pay a little more attention." Tsunade waved her hand, indicating that Yoruichi Yagami could leave.

After leaving the Senju clan's territory, Yagami Yoru went straight to the Yuhi family's residence and called Yuhi Kurenai out for a date.

"red."

Holding Kurenai Yuhi's small hand, Yagami Yoruichi suddenly asked, "If we're going to form a team after graduation, besides the two of us, who do you think would be a suitable teammate?"

"Does Yoruichi want to graduate early?" Kurenai Yuhi looked at Yoruichi Yagami with some surprise and asked, "Didn't you say you wanted to stay at the Ninja Academy for a few more years?"

"The situation has changed a bit, and we might not have much time left." Yagami Yoruichi glossed over the matter without explaining the specific reasons, only saying, "I think the members of the third team should ideally be a bit weaker, just good among the genin, or barely at the chunin level. If the team is too strong, they will definitely be sent on dangerous missions, and the risks you will face will be too great."

"Yoruichi-kun's words don't quite fit the Will of Fire," Kurenai Yuhi teased, tilting her head thoughtfully. "By that standard, Kakashi and Inahikawa aren't suitable. Guy could be, but his personality..."

Kurenai Yuhi shuddered at the thought of forming a team in the future, with everyone dressed in green bodysuits and shouting slogans of passion and youth under Might Guy's influence.

Please don't let something this terrifying happen!

"Forget about Kai," Yagami Yoruichi quickly said. "Being friends with Kai and sparring occasionally is fine, but I definitely can't stand spending time with him long-term!"

It's not just a matter of 'art style'.

Might Guy's current strength is not particularly outstanding among the geniuses at the Ninja Academy.

But Yoruichi Yagami knew that Might Guy was still building up his strength.

Once his physical strength reaches the required level and he begins to cultivate the Eight Gates Formation, he will soon experience a period of explosive growth.

At that time, his growth rate will be astonishing, and he will surpass the geniuses who were originally ahead of him in a short period of time.

By then, if she were in the same squad as Might Guy, Yoruichi Yagami would have no excuse not to do high-difficulty missions.

"Do you have any close friends?" Yagami Yoruichi looked at Yuhi Kurenai and said, "As long as their strength isn't too bad, around the average level of a genin is fine. The weaker they are, the more excuses I have to avoid taking on high-level missions."

“Friends with the strength of a genin…” Kurenai tilted her head and thought for a while before saying two names: “Shizune and Rin. When you left the village before, I didn’t go to school and stayed home to learn genjutsu from my dad. They came to visit me.”

“Shizune.” Yagami Yoru subconsciously ignored Nohara Rin and nodded slightly. “She’s alright, but Shizune is currently focusing on medical ninjutsu and seems to be preparing to join Konoha Hospital.”

Yoruichi Yagami interned at Konoha Hospital, so she knew a little about the place.

Shizune doesn't plan to follow the conventional ninja path by joining a ninja team; instead, she wants to go directly to Konoha Hospital to delve into medical ninjutsu.

“Then let’s go with Rin.” Kurenai Yuhi said matter-of-factly, “Anyway, I don’t want to team up with any other men besides Yoruichi. Rin is a girl, so it’ll be more convenient!”

Nohara Rin?

Yagami Yoichi's only impression of her was that she was Obito Uchiha's 'tool for awakening his Sharingan'.

If she has already been targeted by Madara Uchiha, then teaming up with Rin Nohara would be somewhat dangerous.

However, even if Madara Uchiha wanted to use Rin Nohara to awaken Obito Uchiha's Sharingan, he would have to wait until Obito Uchiha had sufficient strength.

If your body and chakra aren't strong enough, you can't awaken a powerful Sharingan just by relying on emotional stimulation.

At least for the time being, Nohara Rin is safe.

But risks always exist, so Yoruichi Yagami didn't make a decision immediately. Instead, she said, "Let me think about it. What do you think about graduating early, either after this semester ends or after finishing my second year?"

Chapter 125 The New Year Arrives, Konoha Year 43

The New Year in the ninja world is very similar in customs to the Little Day Country of Yagami Yoruichi's previous life.

The day before New Year's Day, the whole family does a thorough cleaning, and in the evening they eat buckwheat noodles to "stay up all night." The next day, the official New Year, is filled with a series of activities.

Even in Konoha, a place that leans towards a military organization, the atmosphere during the New Year is much more lively than usual.

Except for a small number of special posts, most ninjas also got a long-awaited vacation.

In the past few days, Yagami Yoruichi has also put aside her training for once, focusing on spending a happy New Year with Yuhi Kurenai.

It wasn't until the ninja academy's holiday ended that the two put aside their desire to have fun and focused their attention back on improving their strength.

Since the decision has been made to graduate early this year so that Kurenai can adapt to the ninja world as soon as possible, it is necessary to improve her combat power as quickly as possible.

Meanwhile, at Konoha Hospital.

Yagami Yoruichi's shadow clones approached Shizune.

"Mute." Yagami Yoruichi cut to the chase and asked, "Have you made the decision to go directly to work at Konoha Hospital?"

Recently, Shizune hasn't been to school and has been reporting directly to Konoha Hospital every morning.

They have also begun to learn medical ninjutsu.

Although limited by factors such as chakra reserves, his progress was far slower than that of Yoruichi Yagami, but he still showed considerable talent in this area.

Of course, it's only 'not bad'.

In Konoha Hospital, she would be considered above average, even worse than Jabami, who had previously collaborated with Yoruichi Yagami.

If it weren't for her special status, she would have had absolutely no chance of becoming Tsunade's disciple based on that talent alone.

“Yes.” Shizune nodded and said, “My teacher said I don’t have much talent in combat and told me to focus on medical ninjutsu.”

Actually, your talent in medical ninjutsu isn't that strong.

Yagami Yoruichi muttered to herself, but remembering Shizune's somewhat cringe-worthy fighting prowess in the original work, she didn't say anything in rebuttal.

Shizune's greatest strength isn't actually in combat or medical ninjutsu.

Rather, it refers to capabilities in government affairs.

In the original work, after Tsunade became the Fifth Hokage, a significant portion of the administrative affairs were handled by Shizune, who managed them very well.

She can handle government affairs while also taking good care of Tsunade's daily life, making her a perfect template for a 'secretary'.

However, if Tsunade hadn't become Hokage, she wouldn't have had the opportunity to realize her potential in this area.

At most, she could only serve as Tsunade's personal maid to take care of her, which was a complete waste of Shizune's talents.

Yagami Yoruichi kept these thoughts to herself, but didn't voice them.

Jingyin is not even ten years old yet; it's too early for her to be exposed to these things.

Since she wants to develop her career at Konoha Hospital, let her be for now.

At least the hospital in Konoha is safe enough.

Although the Third Shinobi World War was very intense, and even several Kage died, it never reached Konoha's headquarters.

As long as she doesn't leave Konoha, she's absolutely safe as a ninja with Shizune's identity.

Yagami Yoruichi gave up the idea of ​​recruiting Shizune into his team.

"Yoruichi-kun, is there something you need?" Shizune asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing." Yagami Yoruichi shook her head and said, "I just wanted to ask about your future plans, and I already know."

"Oh!" Shizune nodded in confusion, but since Yoruichi Yagami didn't want to talk about it, she wisely didn't press the matter and changed the subject, saying, "Yoruichi-kun, I have some questions about medical ninjutsu. Could you teach me?"

Tsunade was not a very responsible 'good teacher'. Her teaching method was to teach some basics, then throw a bunch of books and ninjutsu scrolls at her disciples, and then leave the rest to them.

When he's in a good mood, he can even give his disciples some pointers on their cultivation.

If I'm in a bad mood, I just ignore it completely.

Yoruichi Yagami and Shizune are mostly 'self-taught'.

Yoruichi Yagami is alright; she's naturally talented, and with her shadow clones constantly learning and experimenting, she progresses very quickly in her studies.

Shizune doesn't have the talent or chakra reserves of Yoruichi Yagami, so her slow progress is entirely expected.

"Of course, which technique is it? I remember you're currently learning the 'Regeneration Technique'?" Yagami Yoruichi asked a few questions and began to instruct Shizune on her medical ninjutsu.

……

the other side.

Dozens of shadow clones were practicing different ninjutsu on the Konoha training ground.

It was obtained from Tsunade and originated from the Water Release technique of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

With the help of numerous shadow clones, Yagami Yoruichi mastered most of the five Fire Release and five Wind Release ninjutsu obtained from Hiruzen Sarutobi in a very short time.

However, not all ninjutsu is suitable for integration into one's own combat system, nor does all ninjutsu need further improvement.

The current Yoruichi Yagami is no longer at the stage where it was difficult for her to even acquire a single ninjutsu.

With a wide variety of ninjutsu to choose from, Yoruichi Yagami naturally wouldn't delve into and improve every single one.

There's absolutely no need for that.

Of course, as a ninjutsu-type ninja, one must develop one's own unique fighting style, and some special ninjutsu also need to be appropriately modified according to one's own style.

"Given my characteristics, the ultimate 'ninjutsu turret' style is the most suitable for me. After all, I have a large enough amount of chakra to squander..."

As Yagami Yoruichi pondered, considering the path he would take in the future: "Hiruzen Sarutobi's 'Five Elements - Great Combo Technique' would actually be very suitable for me. However, I don't know Lightning Release or Earth Release. Moreover, this ninjutsu is a forbidden technique, so the skill level would probably be extremely high."

"However, I don't need to force myself to learn from Hiruzen Sarutobi. Taking the path of Madara Uchiha's 'Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation' with its powerful brick-like movements would actually be quite suitable."

Yagami Yoruichi recalled the Edo Tensei Uchiha Madara's battle against the Allied Shinobi Forces, and the exaggerated scale of his Fire Release ninjutsu.

He used a B-rank ninjutsu with such terrifying power that he could defeat ten thousand enemies single-handedly.

Besides the astonishing amount of chakra, his understanding of fire-style chakra nature transformation and the boost to 'spell power' are probably quite remarkable.

The latter two are areas where Yoruichi Yagami currently lacks.

Of course, this is only in comparison to Madara Uchiha.

Compared to a normal Kage-level ninja, Yagami Yoruichi is slightly inferior, but she can completely make up for this difference by virtue of her superior chakra reserves.

"However, my strongest Water Release technique, Chakra Nature Transformation, is far inferior to the Second Hokage's, and even somewhat weaker than Kosuke-senpai's. The gap in Fire Release and Wind Release is even greater; I still need to keep training..."

Feeling the still relatively abundant chakra within her shadow clone's body, Yagami Yoruichi continued her training.

……

Ninja Academy.

During her lunch break, Yagami Yoruichi had recovered her chakra and created a new batch of shadow clones to practice ninjutsu at the training ground.

The main character is holding a bento box and enjoying 'lunch time' with Kurenai Yuhi.

"I've spoken to Shizune; she wants to stay at the hospital," Yagami Yoichi said to Yuhi Kurenai. "As for Rin, you're quite familiar with her, so ask her if she's considering graduating early."
