Konoha's Hextech Ninja

It's not impossible for someone to become an all-around ninja like Yoruichi Yagami.

However, it's not too late to decide what Kaori Uzumaki is best at until she awakens the bloodline limit of the Uzumaki clan.

Besides their robust physique and vast chakra reserves, the awakening of the Uzumaki clan's three special abilities depends to some extent on their physical attributes.

Although Yagami Yoruichi speculates that she is Karin's mother from the original work, she will inevitably awaken special healing abilities.

But this was just Yagami Yoruichi's speculation.

Moreover, it is unknown whether the original bloodline limit ability can still be awakened in a different environment.

Most importantly, Kaori Uzumaki is still young, so there's no need to rush to determine her future development direction.

First, lay a solid foundation by improving basic abilities such as chakra control, nature transformation, and form transformation.

You'll be able to learn any ninjutsu you want very quickly in the future.

Yoruichi Yagami herself is just like that.

When one's control over chakra reaches a sufficiently high level, learning the corresponding ninjutsu becomes extremely fast.

Furthermore, with the Shadow Clone Technique accelerating training, one can master a ninjutsu from scratch to the [Proficiency Level] in a very short time.

"Go to the Ninja Academy next Monday," Yagami Yoruichi said to Uzumaki Kaori. "I'll continue to teach you ninjutsu when I have time these next few days. Once you're in school, you can come see me every weekend as long as I'm in the village."

"Yes, Lord Yoruichi." Kaori Uzumaki nodded obediently.

After thinking for a moment, Yagami Yoruichi said, "As for your revenge against Kusagakure... as long as you can awaken any one of the Uzumaki clan's bloodline limits, I will help you complete your revenge."

Special healing-attribute chakra, Kagura's Mind's Eye, and Vajra Seal.

Any bloodline limit ability is very useful and can greatly enhance Kaori Uzumaki's strength.

To give her even greater motivation, Yagami Yoruichi didn't hesitate to use 'revenge' as bait, dangling a big carrot in front of Uzumaki Kaori.

However, this is not entirely empty promises. With Yagami Yoruichi's strength, she could easily defeat even Sunagakure, let alone the weak Kusagakure.

If Kaori Uzumaki can truly awaken her bloodline ability, then helping her destroy the Grass Ninja Village would be a piece of cake.

Chapter 202 Darkin Swordsmanship: The Ultimate Aesthetics of Violence

The Forest of Death.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

A series of loud booming sounds rang out continuously.

Even from several kilometers away, you can feel the astonishing activity here.

One after another, huge pits with diameters of hundreds of meters appeared.

If viewed from above, the entire Death Forest is filled with a glaringly blank area; all the forests, valleys, and rivers have been erased from the map.

Moreover, as the two fought, this empty area continued to expand.

Boom!

Yoruichi Yagami swung her sword again, slamming it into the ground.

Suddenly, the earth shook violently, and huge rocks flew out from the ground like cannonballs, hurtling in all directions.

A large number of thick, giant trees around them fell down, and the shockwave, with a power comparable to a C-rank wind ninjutsu, swept out for hundreds of meters before its power gradually weakened.

"Alright, that's enough, Yoruichi-kun!" Sakumo Hatake, dragging his aching arm, quickly called a halt to the battle.

In the distance, Yagami Yoruichi's body was covered with a layer of dark red substance, making her look incredibly sinister.

When Sakumo Hatake first saw Yoruichi Yagami in this form, he was quite startled.

If it weren't for the fact that Yoruichi Yagami didn't have a tail, he would have thought that Yoruichi Yagami had been corrupted by the tailed beast's chakra and had entered a tailed beast transformation state.

Upon hearing Sakumo Hatake's order to stop, Yoruichi Yagami halted her pursuit, stood still for a moment, and the black and red substance on her body gradually faded away and was reabsorbed back into her body.

The broad greatsword in Yagami Yoruichi's hand also transformed into a slender, narrow-bladed katana.

Seeing that Yagami Yoruichi had returned to normal, Hatake Sakumo breathed a sigh of relief, put away his short sword again, and instantly appeared beside Yagami Yoruichi.

"Your swordsmanship is simply..."

Sakumo Hatake thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out how to express his emotions.

He was quite pleased when Yagami Yoruichi asked him for advice on swordsmanship.

However, unexpectedly, Yagami Yoruichi's so-called 'swordsmanship' was like that of a brute, with wide, sweeping movements, pursuing the ultimate destructive power and attack range.

This is completely different from his unorthodox swordsmanship, which pursues a one-hit kill in close combat.

“This path suits me better,” Yagami Yoruichi explained with a smile, “Thank you, Uncle Sakumo, for training with me. You’re the only one in the village with this ability.”

"I can't take it if this happens a few more times."

Hatake Sakumo rubbed his aching arm, estimating that he would need at least three to five days of rest to recover.

His combat effectiveness will be affected over the next few days.

"Let me treat you first." Yagami Yoruichi raised his hand and used the Palm Healing Technique to quickly heal the hidden injury on Hatake Sakumo's arm caused by the recoil.

"Your strength has improved again." Sakumo Hatake looked at Yoruichi Yagami and asked, "You weren't using your full strength just now, were you? I mean, in terms of swordsmanship."

“Ah, no, that’s right.” Yagami Yoruichi nodded.

During her 'sparring' with Sakumo Hatake, Yoruichi Yagami did not use her superhuman strength.

It merely imbues the Kusanagi sword with the 'Darkborn power' to enhance the power of its strikes.

If you use superhuman strength, your explosive power will be elevated to another level.

If you use the Sword Demon's ultimate move, "Great Annihilation," on top of the monstrous strength, the destructive power will continue to soar after all attributes are greatly enhanced.

Even in its 'normal state', it possesses explosive power comparable to the Third Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

If she went all out, there were few people in the entire ninja world who could withstand Yagami Yoruichi's attacks.

Yoruichi Yagami even suspected that her full-force attack might be able to shatter the complete Susanoo.

However, this kind of thing can't be verified.

In the current ninja world, Madara Uchiha, the only one capable of activating the Complete Body Susanoo, is still hiding somewhere.

Yoruichi Yagami had no interest in finding Madara Uchiha just to have a fight.

Although Yagami Yoruichi believed that she had a high chance of winning against the elderly Uchiha Madara.

But what if we lose?

Konoha's development is currently booming, and my own strength is improving at a steady pace.

Although her stats are stuck at 999999 and can't be increased any further, training in ninjutsu, swordsmanship, and other skills will allow Yoruichi Yagami to better utilize her high stats and unleash even greater combat power.

Only after breaking through to the 'Six Paths Level' will one truly have the confidence to face any enemy.

……

Yagami Yoruichi isn't putting much effort into medical ninjutsu right now.

However, with Yagami Yoruichi's chakra control, she was already the strongest medical ninja in Konoha besides Tsunade.

In just a few minutes, Sakumo Hatake's arm was completely healed.

Aside from the fact that the chakra he had used up needs time to recover, he was no different from before the battle.

"Thank you, Yoruichi-kun." Hatake Sakumo stretched his arms and said with a smile, "Your medical ninjutsu is almost on par with your teacher's."

"I'm still a bit behind my teacher, after all, I haven't put too much effort into medical ninjutsu."

Yagami Yoruichi shook her head and said, "With my current physical condition, medical ninjutsu is not very useful to me anymore. For ordinary injuries, medical ninjutsu can't heal as quickly as my own body."

As her physical attributes improved, Yagami Yoruichi's body underwent changes that were different from those of a normal ninja.

For example, Yagami Yoruichi also possesses an ability similar to Hashirama Senju's 'self-healing without seals'.

Moreover, given Yagami Yoruichi's physical defenses, it wouldn't be easy for an ordinary enemy to injure her.

Yoruichi Yagami tested it and found that, without using any chakra for defense, the resilience of her skin alone was enough to withstand the kunai attacks of an elite Jonin.

Unless it's a special weapon, or a slash imbued with powerful cutting techniques like Lightning Release or Wind Release, there's no chance of breaking through Yagami Yoruichi's defenses.

But even if a cut is made, it will heal on its own within seconds.

This ability to recover alone is enough to make most enemies feel hopeless.

"Your physical abilities are freakish. Your strength is even more freakish." Hatake Sakumo couldn't help but say, "A few months ago, I was still confident that I could fight you, but now I am no match for you at all. If anyone could fight you on equal terms, the aftershocks of the battle would probably destroy a small country."

As he spoke, Hatake Sakumo glanced at the severely damaged Death Forest.

This area shouldn't even be called a 'forest'; it should be renamed 'wasteland'.

"It will be restored immediately."

Yagami Yoruichi understood Hatake Sakumo's implied meaning and immediately formed hand seals: "Wood Release - Advent of the Tree World!"

One by one, large trees sprouted from the ground, filling the wasteland ravaged by war.

Shrubs and turf grew on the ground under the tree, and it quickly returned to its original vibrant state.

The Forest of Death was originally created by the First Hokage using Wood Release.

Although Yagami Yoruichi's Wood Release is slightly different from Senju Hashirama's, they are no different in terms of promoting plant growth.

The growth process of a towering tree, which takes hundreds or even decades, can be compressed into a mere tens of seconds under the effect of Wood Release.

If Sunagakure Village had this capability, it wouldn't have to worry about food and clean water all the time.

"As expected of Yoruichi!" Sakumo Hatake gave Yoruichi Yagami a thumbs up and praised her, "She restored the forest in an instant!"

"Uncle Sakumo, if you don't know how to praise someone, you don't have to force yourself to flatter them..." Yagami Yoruichi was speechless.

Although he was praising himself, it sounded rather sarcastic and unsettling.

However, Yagami Yoruichi knew in his heart that it was just that Hatake Sakumo was not good at praising others, and that he did not really have any ill intentions.

"Hahaha!" Sakumo Hatake laughed awkwardly for a while, trying to change the subject: "By the way, how long do you plan to keep those visitors from another world?"

In the blink of an eye, Naruto and his friends have been in Konoha for almost a month.

During this period, Konoha had basically squeezed out almost all the 'intelligence' they had gathered.

In fact, Yoruichi Yagami knew more detailed information, but it wouldn't be appropriate to say it directly; there had to be a reason.

Naruto Uzumaki and his three companions provided the best cover.

Yoruichi Yagami had already inquired and found out that before Naruto Uzumaki and the others traveled to this world, their timeline was still in the early stages of Shippuden, when Akatsuki had just begun capturing the Tailed Beasts.

This period is roughly between the time after Gaara was resurrected and before the immortal duo appeared in the Land of Fire.

In other words, in Naruto Uzumaki's world, Konoha only possessed information about four Akatsuki members: Deidara, Sasori, Itachi Uchiha, and Kisame Hoshigaki.

In addition, there's Orochimaru, who was once a member of the Akatsuki organization but later left.

However, the fact that there was an organization called 'Akatsuki' in their era that was secretly capturing the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts is of great value to Konoha now.

The Rinnegan belonging to Madara Uchiha, now on Nagato, is also one of the keys to the 'Six Paths' level.

Yoruichi Yagami even considered that if she could never reach the Six Paths level, she might as well steal the Rinnegan and replace it with her own.

Even if there are any hidden dangers, as long as the bottleneck of the Six Paths level is broken and the strength is improved, a solution can be found.

It's better than having your strength stuck and unable to improve.

However, this is the last resort.

There's a very high probability that Madara Uchiha left behind some hidden hand on those Rinnegan.

Unless absolutely necessary, Yoruichi Yagami would not choose to try transplanting the Rinnegan.

Rather than transplantation, it would be better to analyze the mysteries of the Rinnegan through human experiments or some other method, and thus master this power.

Regardless, as long as Konoha now knows about Akatsuki's existence, Yoruichi Yagami will have a reason to propose investing resources and manpower in that area.

As for whether to go to war with Akatsuki and capture Nagato and the others, or to use Akatsuki to do something else, the initiative will be in Yagami Yoruichi's hands.

The greatest value of Naruto and his companions lies here.
