Konoha's Hextech Ninja

In that instant, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but understand his 'old friend'.

What he didn't know was that when Shimura Danzo ordered the Root squad to attack Yagami Yoruichi, Yagami Yoruichi was far less powerful than she is now.

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered, "Unfortunately, it's too late. This child is Tsunade's disciple. Given Tsunade's personality, if I were to make a move on him, even if it were me, Tsunade would turn against me. In that case, I have no choice but to try and win him over..."

Chapter 130 Victory or Defeat, What's Missing

Inside the training field.

The battle between Yagami Yoruichi and Tsunade gradually subsided.

Despite having the advantage at the beginning.

Although Yagami Yoruichi's ninjutsu was large enough, it couldn't pose a sufficiently fatal threat to Tsunade.

It shattered with a single punch from her fist.

Each time, Tsunade was able to either dodge or shatter Yagami Yoruichi's ninjutsu at the lowest possible cost, ensuring her own safety.

Moreover, the amount of chakra she expended to unleash her superhuman strength was far less than that consumed by Yoruichi Yagami when casting ninjutsu.

After more than half an hour, Yagami Yoruichi was unable to break through Tsunade's defenses and had no choice but to admit defeat.

"Teacher, I give up!"

Yagami Yoruichi deliberately dispersed her chakra, and the water in the training ground quickly evaporated and dissipated, revealing a messy ground.

When Tsunade heard Yagami Yoruichi concede defeat, she sullenly withdrew her chakra, revealing a dissatisfied expression.

I originally wanted to take this opportunity to beat up this brat.

As a result, after gaining the upper hand, the brat saw that he couldn't win for a long time, so he simply and decisively admitted defeat, leaving her with no way to find an excuse to teach him a lesson!

I'm so angry!

Tsunade, in a fit of anger, snapped.

"Teacher, have I passed the test?" Yagami Yoruichi asked with a grin. "Is this level of strength enough to satisfy you, teacher?"

It wasn't surprising that Yagami Yoruichi couldn't defeat Tsunade, or even force out the chakra from her 'Yin Seal'.

Before the battle began, Yoruichi Yagami never thought she could win; she just hoped she wouldn't lose too badly.

After all, Tsunade is a veteran Kage-level ninja. Even without using the Yin Seal or the Hundred Healings Technique, she is still one of the best among Kage-level ninjas.

My own strengths, advantages and disadvantages are too obvious.

Against opponents below the Shadow level, except for a very few 'mechanical monsters', they can almost always be crushed.

However, it is difficult to win against a Kage-level opponent who has no obvious weaknesses, unless the opponent is the type that you can counter.

If you want to beat Tsunade, it's simple; just take advantage of her hemophobia.

However, this way of winning is meaningless, so Yoruichi Yagami did not choose to cheat.

Yagami Yoruichi glanced at his ninjutsu panel.

The biggest problem that prevented Yagami Yoruichi from defeating Tsunade this time was that she lacked a powerful enough ninjutsu to deliver a decisive blow.

However, among the ninjutsu that Yagami Yoruichi had already mastered, there were several that met the requirements, but her proficiency was not yet sufficient to bring out their best effects.

Water Release: Water Severing Wave; Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation.

Both of these ninjutsu, once mastered, will undergo a dramatic transformation, with their destructive power greatly increased.

At that point, it would be enough to threaten Tsunade, or even more powerful ninjas.

Moreover, 'Mastery' is not the limit.

Although it is extremely difficult to improve after reaching the 'Mastery' level, Yagami Yoruichi still does not have a single ninjutsu that has reached the 'Mastery' level or higher.

However, based on the system's judgment mechanism, as long as there is room for improvement, the next stage will inevitably see a leapfrog increase.

Not to mention, Yoruichi Yagami's strength is far from reaching its limit and she is still in the 'development stage'.

In summary, Yoruichi Yagami is already quite satisfied that she can barely hold her own against Tsunade at this stage and in her normal state.

"You brat." A black line appeared on Tsunade's forehead; she was extremely annoyed.

But given her personality, she couldn't bring herself to say something like, "You're still far from perfect."

"You'll be in charge of your own squad from now on. I've already spoken to you about accepting missions; you can choose which level of mission you want."

Tsunade said angrily, "Also, if you can't learn the Yin Seal within six months, don't call me teacher anymore!"

"Restore the training ground to its original state!"

After saying that, Tsunade immediately turned and left.

"Understood, teacher!" Yagami Yoruichi replied, looking at the training ground that had been destroyed with a worried expression.

Since I don't know Earth Release ninjutsu, how much effort would it take to restore it to its original state?

Let's find some time later and bring in Kakashi Hatake as free labor.

With Kakashi Hatake's chakra reserves, it would probably take him several days to barely level the land back up in such a large training ground.

"Fighting may feel good for a moment, but cleaning up the mess afterwards is a nightmare."

Yagami Yoruichi shook his head, sighed inwardly, and used the Body Flicker Technique to run towards the tower where Kurenai Yuhi and Rin Nohara were.

This place was far enough away from the battlefield between Yagami Yoruichi and Tsunade, and since Yagami Yoruichi deliberately avoided this direction when using her ninjutsu, the two women were naturally unaffected.

But the waves tens of meters high, the giant crater tens of meters in diameter created by a single punch, and the fire-style attacks that covered most of the training ground.

The terrifying scenes filled the two women with both fear and immense excitement.

They had never witnessed a battle of this scale before.

"Yoruichi-kun, you're amazing!" Kurenai Yuhi excitedly grabbed Yoruichi's arm as she saw her approach, her eyes filled with admiration.

"I still can't compare to the teacher," Yagami Yoruichi said truthfully. "The teacher wasn't even serious."

They didn't even need to use the Hundred Healings Technique.

Being able to barely hold her own against Tsunade in this state, and ultimately losing in a battle of attrition, was nothing for Yoruichi Yagami to be proud of.

If Tsunade were to get serious, once she activated the Hundred Healings Technique, she would be knocked to the ground within a few moves.

With such a large gap, without any additional improvements, relying solely on cultivation and the attribute cycle of the Rui Tian Emperor template, it would probably take quite a while to catch up.

Although I am strong, my weaknesses are also obvious.

We still need to continuously improve our abilities.

Of course, before that, the most important thing is to help Kurenai Yuhi and Rin Nohara improve their strength and combat experience.

There is also the number of tasks.

Only after completing a sufficient number of missions can one apply to become a Chunin and obtain the next Hextech Enhancement.

This is also one of the ways to greatly enhance one's strength, or to accelerate the rate at which one's strength is enhanced.

"The Chunin Exams now are different from the ones Naruto Uzumaki went through in the original story. They're not as strict. As long as you have a record of completing more than 10 missions, you can apply. The exams only consist of one written test and one practical test, so they're relatively simple. With my strength, I'm sure I can pass smoothly as long as I apply."

Yagami Yoruichi was planning to complete ten D-rank missions as quickly as possible, and then apply for promotion to Chunin.

Then, based on the next Hextech enhancement and the progress of Kurenai Yuhi and Rin Nohara, decide whether to continue training in the village or go out to accumulate combat experience as soon as possible.

"For the next Hextech enhancement, let's go for something like Mad Scientist or Goliath. That's the strongest Hextech enhancement for Emperor Ruitian. One Goliath could save us several Colored Forging Tools..."

Yagami Yoruichi prayed in his heart.

……

Tsunade said she wanted to be a hands-off manager, and sure enough, she had no intention of getting involved in the three-person mission at all.

He completely left the team to Yagami Yoruichi to lead, without even showing his face once.

Yagami Yoruichi was too lazy to complain about this irresponsible teacher, and obediently accepted a few D-rank missions such as catching cats and dogs to cultivate the tacit understanding between the three of them.

Now, when performing these simple tasks, we can still communicate effectively.

In the future, if we go out on missions and there is an emergency, there may not be time for detailed communication.

Mutual understanding becomes very important.

A gesture, a glance, or a few simple words are all it takes to understand what each other needs to do and how to cooperate.

The deeper the tacit understanding, the better the cooperation can be guaranteed during the mission.

Even if Kurenai Yuhi and Rin Nohara are a bit weaker, they can at least better protect themselves and cover Yoruichi Yagami's actions with this kind of cooperation, and can also better receive Yoruichi Yagami's protection and not be harmed by the enemy.

If even the most basic understanding is lacking, even if Yoruichi Yagami is very strong, there is no way to guarantee that the two women will be completely safe from the enemy's threat.

To build tacit understanding, when carrying out D-rank missions, Yagami Yoruichi did not use her shadow clones to quickly sweep through the area. Instead, she honestly used only her main body and the two women to act together, while the shadow clones were all left in the Senju clan territory to repair the training grounds damaged in the battle with Tsunade.

After several days, the three finally found the most suitable 'emergency communication plan'.

"In case of emergency, use code words A3, B6, and D7, combined with gestures and actions to communicate."

Yagami Yoruichi said, "You need to memorize these codes by the end of this week. All missions starting next week will use this method for communication."

Besides maintaining secrecy, the most important function of ninja code is to convey the most complex information using the fewest possible syllables.

This is so that communication can be completed in the shortest possible time when time is tight on the battlefield.

But inventing a language out of thin air is not an easy thing to do.

Most secret codes can only cover certain scenarios.

There are dozens of common secret codes used within Konoha alone, each involving different scenarios.

Yoruichi Yagami selected several of them, and after testing them over the past few days, he found the most suitable ones for his team as long-term training.

As for using all of them, that's simply impossible.

Few people can remember all the coded messages.

Even if it were possible, the time and effort required would be completely not worth it.

The best approach is to test a small portion first to confirm its suitability, and then memorize the entire set of secret codes.

"understood."

"understand!"
