Konoha's Hextech Ninja

Like most older brothers in the world, Sarutobi Shinnosuke is a brother complex.

Who made this a world created by someone who's obsessed with their brother?

Sarutobi Shinnosuke doesn't care about many people, but Sarutobi Asuma is one of them.

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately knew what was going on and said with a smile, "It's Yoruichi Yagami, isn't it? It's not a conflict, just kids bickering."

Then, Hiruzen Sarutobi explained the so-called 'conflict' between the two of them.

As the nominal principal of the ninja academy, Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally had considerable control over the school. In addition, his youngest son was also in this class, and with Hiruzen Sarutobi paying close attention, he naturally gained a deeper understanding of the school.

Simply put, Sarutobi Asuma has a vague affection for Yuhi Kurenai, but Yuhi Kurenai likes to stick close to Yagami Yoruichi, which makes Sarutobi Asuma very unhappy with Yagami Yoruichi.

In addition, Sarutobi Asuma was very unhappy because he had been defeated by Yagami Yoruichi several times in a row.

But in Hiruzen Sarutobi's view, this was just children playing around, nothing to worry about.

"I see." Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Shinnosuke felt relieved.

It's really a bit unreasonable for adults to interfere in children's squabbles.

If it's for the sake of power and profit, then doing some dirty work is acceptable.

If you interfere in children's squabbles over girls, what will become of the Hokage's authority?

Besides, this isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Having a 'nemesis' might better motivate Asuma Sarutobi to grow rapidly.

It's not impossible for former enemies to become friends in the future.

Just like Jiraiya and Orochimaru back then.

If Sarutobi Asuma can be allowed to grow rapidly in this way, and a commoner genius can be created, it would naturally be very beneficial to the Sarutobi clan.

“I was originally planning to investigate, but since you say so, Father, it seems I don’t need to get involved.” Sarutobi Shinnosuke said with a smile, “However, from what you’ve said, Father, that child is very talented?”

“Very strong, even stronger than you.” Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, considered for a moment, and then said, “He is very similar to Minato. He also comes from a commoner background, has a huge amount of chakra and excellent physical qualities. The only thing he is slightly inferior to Minato is that his battle intuition is not as good as Minato’s, but he learns very quickly.”

"Another Minato Namikaze?" Shinnosuke Sarutobi pondered. "Then we definitely have to call J over. Perhaps we could arrange a tutor for him?"

The master-disciple relationship is the most stable relationship in Konoha, even surpassing that of clans and fathers and sons.

For a promising and outstanding talent, arranging for someone from one's own circle to be his teacher in advance, and recruiting him into one's own ranks beforehand, is undoubtedly the best choice.

Don't be like Sakumo Hatake, who grew up entirely on his own, had no connection with the Hokage lineage, and instead had his own ideas, remaining detached from the upper echelons of Konoha.

People like Minato Namikaze in the 'Hokage lineage' are good examples. Even if they have their own ideas, they will still listen to the Third Hokage's lineage under the principle of master-disciple loyalty.

“Arranging a suitable teacher would be great, of course, but I can’t think of anyone who would be the most suitable right now.” Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep drag on his pipe, exhaling a large cloud of smoke, and said, “Actually, in terms of strength and age, Sakumo Hatake is the most suitable, but he…”

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and did not continue speaking.

But Shinnosuke Sarutobi understood what he meant.

Sakumo Hatake is not from the 'Naruto series'.

After making a name for himself in the Second Shinobi World War, he developed the idea of ​​fighting for the interests of the vast number of civilian ninjas, which led to many disagreements with the governing philosophy of the Konoha leadership.

Hiruzen Sarutobi would never allow someone like that to mentor a new generation of geniuses, lest it allow Sakumo Hatake's power to grow even stronger.

Now, Sakumo Hatake has become a problem for the higher-ups because of his battle achievements and prestige among ordinary ninjas.

If Sakumo Hatake were to take on another genius disciple and cultivate a powerful young talent, his prestige might even threaten the Hokage!

"How about Minato?" Sarutobi Shinnosuke suggested a candidate: "Minato is Jiraiya's disciple, so he's practically your grand-disciple, Father. Besides, didn't you say that Yagami Yoruichi looks a lot like a young Minato?"

“Minato’s strength is sufficient, and his identity is not a problem, it’s just that he’s a bit young.” Hiruzen Sarutobi said thoughtfully, “But if we wait a few years, it won’t be a big problem for Minato to take on disciples. The only problem is that this kid might want to graduate early, then we’ll have to arrange a mentor for him.”

The Second Shinobi World War has largely ended, but some local battlefields remain in a state of prolonged stalemate.

Under these circumstances, the village not only does not prohibit students from graduating early from the ninja academy, but also encourages them to do so.

For a genius like Yoruichi Yagami, it's perfectly normal to graduate early if there's not much left to learn at the ninja academy.

"If all else fails, I'll take care of it myself," Sarutobi Shinnosuke couldn't help but joke.

But he also knew that as the captain of the dark unit, he couldn't possibly act as a mentor.

The Anbu and ordinary ninjas are not part of the same system.

"Don't make jokes like that." Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and said, "You're more important to me in the Anbu. In the next few years, I'll try to move Danzo out of his position and let you take control of the Anbu. The Anbu is related to the control of the intelligence system; it's the sharpest blade in the Hokage's hands. You must help me wield this blade well."

Currently, Danzo is still the nominal head of the Anbu.

Despite having the support of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shinnosuke Sarutobi, as the 'Captain of the Anbu,' seized most of Danzo's power, forcing Danzo's core forces to shrink back to the 'Root'.

However, taking over the position of head of the secret service is not an easy task; a suitable opportunity must be found.

At this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi would never allow Shinnosuke Sarutobi to escape from the Anbu.

"I'll consider the matter of Yagami Yoruichi; you don't need to get involved." Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand and said, "Spend more time with Asuma. Also, teach him a few suitable Fire Release techniques from the Sarutobi clan and Wind Release techniques from the village. Since he's so determined to defeat Yagami Yoruichi, take this opportunity to squeeze Asuma's potential out of him."

“That’s exactly what I was thinking.” Sarutobi Shinnosuke said with a smile, “Asuma is actually quite talented, he’s just a bit lazy. Now is the perfect time to put some pressure on him.”

Chapter 20 The Lost Chapter

Time flies.

Yoruichi Yagami's daily routine has remained largely unchanged.

She attends classes during the day, trains with Kurenai Yuhi in the evenings, and then trains alone all day on weekends.

In the second monthly exam, Yagami Yoruichi once again easily took first place.

However, this time, there will be no 'extra' rewards.

Nobuyuki Imai was just an ordinary Chunin, and he didn't know many ninjutsu. Naturally, he couldn't possibly teach Yoruichi Yagami a ninjutsu every time he got first place in the monthly exam.

The Water Release: Water Chaos Wave technique was something that Yagami Yoruichi would study for quite some time.

It's just a basic casting, which is a complete waste of Yagami Yoruichi's talent.

The most appropriate approach would be to fully master this ninjutsu and then further develop it into a unique "Water Rumble Wave" style that belongs solely to Yoruichi Yagami.

Every ninjutsu, in order to perfectly suit itself, must undergo a process of continuous development and improvement.

Just like the Rasengan in the hands of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze and in the hands of Naruto Uzumaki are completely different things.

To become a true powerhouse, one must refine at least the most core ninjutsu to suit their own strength, regardless of all other ninjutsu techniques, in order to maximize their potential.

After more than a month, Yagami Yoruichi's progress in improving his Water Release: Water Chaos Wave technique has not been ideal.

The main reason is that my chakra control and mastery of chakra nature transformation are insufficient, and I spend most of my time training in these two areas.

Once these two aspects are improved, improving ninjutsu will be a natural progression.

In terms of physical skills, without Ikkaku Umino's sparring partner, Yoruichi Yagami's progress has slowed down considerably, but she still maintains a significant lead over her classmates.

……

Ding-a-ling.

The alarm clock rings, and a new day begins.

As Yagami Yoruichi opened his eyes, a system notification popped up automatically.

Gain 19 gold and 5 spell power.

A quick glance at the system panel revealed that the gold coin balance had reached 1204.

In two months, thanks to the Hextech stats of "Red Envelopes", Yagami Yoruichi didn't accumulate many attributes, but he did accumulate a lot of gold coins.

1200 gold coins isn't enough to buy a complete set of equipment, but it's enough to buy the first key component of the first set of equipment.

Yagami Yoruichi opened the shop interface, searched for a while, and directly spent 1200 gold coins to buy [Lost Chapters].

【遺失的章節：+40法術強度、300查克拉上限、10技能急速。‘啓蒙’：擊殺敵人時，在3秒內恢復相當於查克拉上限20%的查克拉。】

There are some changes to the attributes and gameplay, the biggest change being the passive nature of 'Enlightenment', which has changed from being triggered by leveling up to being triggered by killing enemies.

Other attributes remain unchanged.

Yagami Yoruichi hung the [Lost Chapter] in her equipment slot and immediately noticed changes in her body; all her attributes had increased slightly.

A chakra cap of 300 points isn't much, but combined with the Hextech ability "From Mind to Matter," it also improves Yoruichi Yagami's physique, resulting in a significant overall boost.

Yoruichi Yagami opened the system panel to check her attributes.

……

Name: Yagami Yoruichi

Age: Six years old

Rank: Ninja Academy Student

Physical condition: 869

Spirit: 177

Chakra Limit: 1705

Attack strength: 869

Spell Power: 278

Skill Haste: 25 (Affects ninjutsu casting speed.)

Blood inheritance limit: none

skill:

Arcane specialization.

Hextech:

From the heart to the object, from physics to magic, red envelopes.

equipment:

Tears of the Goddess, Lost Chapters

……

After equipping the [Lost Chapter], Yagami Yoruichi's attributes were comprehensively enhanced, resulting in a significant increase.

With his physical attributes soaring to over 800, and another 100 points or so, he would have crossed the threshold to become a Jonin.

And the maximum chakra limit has increased dramatically.

Consequently, attributes such as attack power and spell power also increased to varying degrees.

However, this improvement is not entirely due to the [Lost Chapters], but also to the small amount of attributes that are randomly distributed every day by the [Red Envelopes].

[Red Envelope] This Hextech NPC gives you money every day, as well as a small amount of random attributes.

Although the amount given each time is small, it adds up over time and should not be underestimated.

Perhaps due to different worldviews, the nature of individual attributes has also changed.

For example, the attribute 'Skill Speed' reduces skill cooldown time in the game, but in this world, it becomes the speed at which ninjutsu can be cast.

Besides these two, the natural development and high-intensity training over the past two months have also made my body slightly stronger. Although the increase is not much, probably only five or six points in 'Constitution' attribute, it is still an extra gain.

"He is one step closer to Emperor Rui."

Yagami Yoruichi smiled with satisfaction.

Although the first complete major component has not yet been synthesized, the increase in strength is already quite obvious.

If the [Embrace of the Seraphim] can be synthesized, the increase in strength will be even greater.

However, among the three individual pieces needed to synthesize the [Embrace of the Seraph], Yoruichi Yagami currently only has [Tears of the Goddess] and [Lost Chapters]. She is still missing a [Grimoire of Evil] worth 850 gold coins and the synthesis fee of 450 gold coins, which means she is still short a total of 1300 gold coins.

[Red Envelope] The average amount of gold coins given per day is about 20 points, which takes about two months.

It's definitely too late for this semester; we'll only be able to gather them during the winter break.

"It takes about four or five months to get a piece of equipment, and you can get a full set of six powerful items in less than three years, which is about what I estimated before."

Yagami Yoruichi nodded to himself.

Yoruichi Yagami is only six years old now, and she will only be nine years old in three years. She can afford to wait.

"However, it would be great if we had a few more powerful Hextech units to speed up the development process."
