Konoha's Hextech Ninja

Looking at Kaori Uzumaki's thin and small figure, Yoruichi Yagami couldn't help but wonder where all the food had gone.

Does she have a black hole in her stomach?

Of course, this is just a joke.

"The situation in the ninja world is not peaceful right now. I, as a clone, will stay here for a while to guide your cultivation."

Yagami Yoruichi said, "When my main body sends a clone over next time, I will take you to the Land of Fire, where it is safer."

Once the Third Shinobi World War breaks out, if Iwagakure and Konoha go to war, the Land of Grass will become the battlefield for the two great ninja villages to fight each other.

It's too dangerous for Kaori Uzumaki to stay here.

Neither side would likely let the descendants of the Whirlpool Clan go easily if they discovered them.

Kaori Uzumaki has great talent, but it will take time for her to realize her full potential.

Yoruichi Yagami didn't want her hard-won subordinates to be harmed by the two great ninja villages.

Only by taking her to the Land of Fire, closer to herself, could Yagami Yoruichi feel at ease.

Being closer means that even if Kaori Uzumaki were to encounter any problems, Yoruichi Yagami could arrive to her rescue in a shorter time.

"Stretch out your hand," Yagami Yoruichi instructed Uzumaki Kaori.

Kaori Uzumaki obediently stretched out her hand.

Chakra appeared in Yagami Yoruichi's palm and pressed it onto Uzumaki Kaori's slender arm, leaving a Flying Thunder God mark on her arm.

"If you encounter any danger that you can't handle in the future, just channel chakra into this mark." Yagami Yoruichi briefly explained the function of the Flying Thunder God mark.

"Yes, I understand!" Kaori Uzumaki nodded vigorously with a happy expression.

……

Country of Fields.

The number of Kumogakure ninjas remaining in the metropolis of the Land of Rice Fields was much smaller than Yagami Yoruichi had imagined.

There are only three teams, with a total of twelve people.

Using her martial arts and swordsmanship, Yagami Yoruichi silently defeated eight of them.

However, when they attempted to assassinate the last squad, the Cloud Ninja reacted in time and issued a warning signal.

Even though the signal flare had just been fired, the Cloud Ninja had his neck slit by Yagami Yoruichi's Kusanagi sword.

The remaining three Cloud Ninja were also startled by the commotion and rushed out from their hiding place.

"Noi!"

Upon seeing his comrade's corpse lying on the ground, a dark-skinned Cloud Ninja let out a grief-stricken roar and charged towards Yagami Yoruichi.

"No!" Another ninja with short purple hair immediately stopped his impulsive companion, suppressing his anger as he stared at Yoruichi Yagami and Kurenai Yuhi beside him, saying, "The other squads haven't reacted yet, they're probably already dead. The enemy's strength is not to be underestimated, we absolutely cannot be careless!"

Most of the Cloud Ninja are impulsive and reckless; when faced with a problem, they always think about finishing the fight first and then figuring things out later.

However, there were also some ninjas with good minds.

Those reckless and impulsive ninjas often heeded the advice of the 'wise man'.

It is precisely because of this, coupled with the highly united nature of Kumogakure, that the village's fighting strength has always been among the top in the ninja world, and it even once suppressed Konoha.

Right now, Yagami Yoruichi has encountered a 'smart person' among a group of brutes.

"Yoruichi-kun..."

Kurenai Yuhi stood beside Yoruichi Yagami, her hands hanging naturally at her sides, but she already had kunai between her fingers, ready to strike at any moment.

"Don't rush." ​​Yagami Yoruichi knew that Yuhi Kurenai also wanted to join the battle.

The previous assassinations were all carried out by Yoruichi Yagami alone, with Kurenai Yuhi having no involvement whatsoever.

As long as the enemy's strength isn't ridiculously strong, Yoruichi Yagami is willing to give Kurenai Yuhi the opportunity to fight the enemy and accumulate combat experience.

Although Yoruichi Yagami often accompanied Kurenai Yuhi for practical training, the two were too familiar with each other and the difference in their strength was too great.

It's completely different from real combat on the battlefield.

Right now, however, is the perfect opportunity.

Yagami Yoruichi's gaze swept over the three Cloud Ninja.

The two ninjas, their faces contorted with rage and unable to control their emotions, possessed chakra at the Chunin level.

Their strength is probably not too great.

However, the last ninja with short purple hair had a strong chakra fluctuation, reaching the level of an elite Jonin.

Moreover, his chakra gave Yagami Yoruichi a very strange feeling, as if there was something special about it.

If this opponent were left to Kurenai Yuhi, the risk would be too great; she would have to deal with him herself.

"I'll take care of the one with purple hair. You can have the other two, okay?" Yagami Yoruichi said to Yuhi Kurenai.

"Don't underestimate me, I'm quite strong too!" Kurenai Yuhi raised her kunai and threw it out, launching the first attack.

Almost simultaneously, the purple-haired ninja opposite them formed a hand seal.

Kurenai's kunai seemed to be drawn to one side by some invisible force, missing its target entirely.

"What happened?" Kurenai was taken aback, not understanding why her kunai had missed.

Yoruichi Yagami was also somewhat surprised.

“The chakra just now… no, it wasn’t the chakra that pulled the kunai in the right direction.”

Yoruichi Yagami's first reaction was similar to the puppetry techniques of Sunagakure, where she condensed chakra into threads or other forms and used them to pull the kunai in mid-air to change direction.

However, doing so is an extremely serious waste of chakra, and ordinary ninjas would not do such a thing.

Yagami Yoruichi quickly analyzed the situation in his mind, and through the changes in chakra he had just sensed using [Wind Perception], he quickly determined that it was the effect of a special ninjutsu.

"No, it's not ninjutsu, it must be a bloodline limit! Magnet Release?!"

The most famous bloodline limit of Kumogakure immediately popped into Yagami Yoruichi's mind.

Each of the five great ninja villages has a signature clan with a bloodline limit.

For example, the Uchiha and Hyuga clans of Konoha.

The three most famous bloodline limits of Kumogakure are Magnet Release, Storm Release, and Lava Release.

The ninja in front of me has most likely inherited the Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai, which allows him to manipulate magnetism.

In some ways, it is similar to the Magnet Release Bloodline Limit of Sunagakure Village, but its application is completely different.

"Be careful, he should be a Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai ninja."

Yagami Yoruichi put away her Kusanagi sword.

When facing a ninja who has mastered Magnet Release, any metal equipment will become a weapon for the enemy to attack you.

However, Yagami Yoruichi was never the type to make a living using ninja tools.

After storing the Kusanagi Sword in the sealing scroll, Yagami Yoruichi formed hand seals and unleashed a ball of blazing flame towards the Cloud Ninja opposite him.

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

Flames raged, and the three Cloud Ninja dared not confront them head-on, immediately dodging to the sides.

Under Yagami Yoruichi's deliberate control, she successfully separated the Magnet Release ninja from the other two Cloud Ninjas with just one ninjutsu.

"Kurenai, I'll leave that to you." Yagami Yoruichi said to Kurenai Yuhi, formed hand seals, created a shadow clone, and rushed towards the Magnet Release ninja.

"Troy!"

"Oil-based, Fujisuke!"

The three Cloud Ninjas called out their companions' names, trying to regroup.

However, Yoruichi Yagami's Fire Release completely divided the battlefield into two parts.

After completing the division of the battlefield, Yagami Yoruichi's shadow clone rushed towards the Magnet Release ninja at an extremely fast speed.

The hand seals were completed during the running process.

"Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"

A jet of water, as thick as a finger, shot out from the shadow clone's mouth and sprayed towards the Magnet Release ninja.

The seemingly harmless water flow actually possesses extremely terrifying pressure.

If hit head-on, even a Kage-level ninja will have a bloody hole pierced through their body if they don't have particularly strong defensive measures.

The Magnet Release ninja seemed to recognize Yagami Yoruichi's ninjutsu, and his expression immediately changed drastically as he desperately dodged to the side.

However, he was still a beat too slow and was swept across the side by the water jet.

Although he avoided a fatal blow, he was left with a wound several centimeters deep on his waist, severing the tendons on his side.

"There's no mistake, this is the Second Hokage's technique..."

The Magnet Release ninja was horrified. He clutched the wound on his waist, blood constantly seeping from between his fingers, and stared at Yagami Yoruichi, demanding, "Who exactly are you?!"

"The one who killed you."

Yagami Yoruichi had no habit of wasting words with the enemy. She formed hand seals again and unleashed a barrage of ninjutsu at the enemy.

Although this is in the capital of the Land of Rice Fields, we need to consider the impact and cannot use ninjutsu of too large a scale, so as not to accidentally injure the civilians and nobles in the city.

But with Yagami Yoruichi's strength, even a simple single-target ninjutsu can unleash terrifying destructive power.

Furthermore, the enemy had already been injured by Yagami Yoruichi's Water Release: Water Severing Wave, which greatly affected their movement.

With just a few ninjutsu techniques, the enemy was driven to the brink of defeat.

The Magnet Release ninja struggled to dodge and defend against Yoruichi Yagami's attacks, but couldn't find any opportunity to retaliate.

His specialty is to 'magnetize' the enemy's body through attack, and then use his shuriken to hit the enemy with 100% accuracy by taking advantage of the magnetic properties.

This method is virtually invincible against ordinary ninjas.

However, faced with Yagami Yoruichi's overwhelming ninjutsu, he found it extremely difficult to even protect himself, let alone fight back.

He struggled to dodge Yagami Yoruichi's attacks and was soon cornered.

Just then, another 'Yagami Yoruichi' emerged from the ground, holding a bright blue chakra ball in her hand and pressing it against his back.

"not good!"

The Magnet Release ninja was horrified. He turned around desperately and raised a giant shuriken to try and block Yoruichi Yagami's attack.

But to Yagami Yoru, his movements seemed to be in slow motion, making it impossible for him to defend himself.

"Got it! Rasengan!"

Yagami Yoruichi pressed the Rasengan against the Magnet Release ninja's chest, then unleashed her full power, causing the rapidly spinning chakra within the Rasengan to instantly shatter the enemy's internal organs.

Magnetic Escape Ninja, die!

Chapter 161 Wood Release?

Seeing that her clone had successfully ended the battle, Yagami Yoruichi focused all her attention on Yuhi Kurenai.

Kurenai Yuhi has already gained the upper hand on the field.

In terms of kunai, shuriken, and taijutsu, Kurenai Yuhi is not much different from her two opponents.

Kurenai is slightly stronger than her enemy, but since the enemy is fighting two against one, she is able to gain a slight advantage in close combat.

This performance certainly reflects the strength of a Chunin.

If one masters one or two more ninjutsu techniques or other special skills, one can be called an elite Chunin.

However, Kurenai Yuhi's greatest strengths are not physical combat or shuriken throwing.

Throughout the continuous exchanges, Kurenai Yuhi constantly sought opportunities to form hand seals with one hand.

A duel.

Yunren watched as cherry blossom petals fell from the sky and drifted away in the wind.

"It's winter now, so why are there cherry blossoms?"

The thought had barely crossed Yunren's mind before his consciousness was plunged into the illusionary world created by Kurenai Yuhi.
