Konoha's Hextech Ninja

Over the past three years, Yoruichi Yagami has mastered the skills of more than twenty heroes, earning them their unique rewards.

Including heroes like Aatrox and Zyra, who were already at max proficiency, there are a total of eighteen 'god-level' hero templates, and Yoruichi Yagami has already received the corresponding rewards for all of them.

In addition, there are nearly ten 'superhuman' and 'mortal' level heroes.

These heroes' unique abilities, along with their additional unique rewards, allowed Yoruichi Yagami to find several directions to break through to the Six Paths level.

Although it's just a direction, taking that step will still require difficult efforts, but at least we see hope.

Not counting the paths in the ninja world.

There are several breakthrough paths obtained solely from hero templates.

One is the 'Ascension Ceremony'.

By using Hextech Shards from Viktor's passive ability as substitute materials, he can set up an Ascension Ritual to ascend to the status of a demigod.

However, this path has a drawback: the demigods who ascend through the 'Ascension Ritual' all represent a certain animal symbol.

For example, the Tsar's 'Eagle', Nasus's 'Wolf', Renekton's 'Crocodile', and so on.

After ascending to demigod status, one's form undergoes a dramatic transformation, with the head taking the shape of the animal it symbolizes.

Yoruichi Yagami certainly didn't want to have a dog's head or some other animal's brain on her head.

Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary and there is no other way to advance, and there is a powerful enemy that must be advanced to the Six Paths level to deal with, Yagami Yoruichi would never consider this path to break through.

Apart from the relatively easy 'Ascension Ritual', the other paths to breaking through to demigod level, which is the Six Paths level, are much more difficult.

To be precise, only a few hero templates have this potential.

First up are the sisters Kyle and Morgana.

By fusing Kayle and Morgana's two completely opposite powers into one, one can obtain the true and complete Protoss power.

In some ways, this is similar to the 'yin-yang unity' in the ninja world.

The 'light' represented by the angel of justice Kyle corresponds to the Yang Release technique in the ninja world.

The 'darkness' represented by the fallen angel Morgana corresponds to the Yin Release technique in the ninja world.

When the two are combined, it becomes the Yin-Yang Escape, which can only be truly mastered by those at the Six Paths level.

Of course, by taking this path, one does not master the true Yin-Yang Escape, but rather the power of the 'Justice Celestial Spirit'.

In addition, the four hero templates—Foygo the Ruined King, Malzahar the Void Prophet, and Zilean the Keeper of Time—have the potential to be promoted to a higher level after receiving their respective 'exclusive rewards'.

The breakthrough methods of Lord of Ruin, Folyagol, and Void Prophet Malzahar are highly similar. The former needs to use the black mist created by the 'Curse of Ruin' to erode and assimilate this world and expand his 'territory'.

Once a domain has absorbed enough matter and life, it will naturally increase its power and status.

The path of the Void Prophet Malzahar is similar, except that he needs to use the power of the 'Void' to assimilate this world and absorb the assimilated areas and lives into his body.

Theoretically, there is no upper limit to either of these promotion methods.

As for Zilean, the Guardian of Time, after Yoruichi Yagami maxed out all four of the hero's skills to 'perfect level', she obtained a magic book called "The Book of Time".

This book contains the supreme magic that can truly distort and even control time.

Through these spells, one can travel through the river of time, walking through the past, present, and future, exploring the mysteries of 'time'.

If one can grasp some of the mysteries of time, breaking through to demigod level, or even higher, is just around the corner.

However, these breakthroughs are only theoretically feasible.

In reality, there are extremely high thresholds for implementation.

No matter which one you want to complete, the difficulty is frighteningly high.

Take, for example, the Book of Time. Yagami Yoruichi couldn't even understand the magic spells and techniques inside, let alone master them.

It's not a language barrier, it's just that the difficulty is too high.

Yoruichi Yagami even suspected that Zilean from the League of Legends world had not mastered even the simplest time-manipulation spell on it.

"Currently, the Ascension Ritual is the least difficult, followed by Fouyego and Malzahar's 'assimilation,' but the Ascension Ritual has too many flaws, and the assimilation route comes at the cost of destroying a world."

Yagami Yoruichi was somewhat conflicted.

Destroying a world simply for the sake of promotion is something even Yagami Yoruichi, who doesn't care much about killing, finds hard to accept.

Moreover, this is only the breakthrough to demigod.

To break through to even higher levels, we need to erode and assimilate more worlds.

At that point, it won't be a matter of one or two worlds anymore.

Kieran's "The Book of Time," however, has a very high barrier to entry.

Yagami Yoruichi estimated that if he couldn't fill in the gaps in his foundation in 'magic', no matter how much time he spent, he would never be able to get started.

This is, after all, a completely different system from ninjutsu and chakra.

The hero template that Yagami Yoruichi obtained, whose skills originally belonged to the category of 'magic', were transformed by the system's power into chakra-based skills similar to ninjutsu.

In terms of magic, Yagami Yoruichi is completely clueless.

This is equivalent to asking a toddler who hasn't even learned 1+1 to study multidimensional topology.

After some research, it turns out that only the path of Kyle and Morgana is the most suitable for Yoruichi Yagami.

Simply by delving into the essence of the two powers and fusing them into one, there are also connections with the ninja world's system.

There's no need to bear any moral burden yet.

"Let's focus on this direction and let the clones do the research. Take some from the clones that are researching sealing techniques."

Yagami Yoruichi formed hand seals and created a group of clones, giving them tasks: to study the nature of Kyle's 'power of light' and Morgana's 'power of darkness', and to try to find a way to combine the two powers.

This matter certainly cannot be completed in a short period of time.

Yoruichi Yagami wasn't in a hurry.

It would be best if we could gain something from this.

If it really doesn't work out, there's still plenty of time to change direction.

With Zyra's abilities, Yagami Yoruichi, although not yet at the Six Paths level, already has a lifespan comparable to that of the Otsutsuki clan, giving her ample time to try every possible way to improve her strength.

……

In the afternoon, Yagami Yoruichi went to the Ninja Academy again to pick up Uzumaki Karin and Hyuga Hinata.

Given the precocious nature of ninjas, the two girls were perfectly capable of getting home on their own.

The interior of Konoha is quite safe.

However, Yagami Yoruichi's main purpose was to also meet Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke.

Let's see if the chakra of Asura and Indra within these two 'life-bound seals' will manifest.

The entrance to the ninja academy.

Karin Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga walked out side by side.

Upon seeing Yagami Yoruichi, both girls showed expressions of surprise and quickened their pace to approach her.

Behind them were their classmates from Class A.

Yagami Yoruichi glanced around and saw several familiar faces.

"Lord Yoruichi."

"Big brother!"

The two girls greeted Yagami Yoruichi politely.

From their first meeting, Hinata Hyuga called Yoruichi Yagami "big brother".

Karin Uzumaki, following Kaori Uzumaki, addressed Yoruichi Yagami as "Master" and considered herself Yoruichi Yagami's subordinate.

Yagami Yoruichi didn't rush to take them away. He glanced at the dejected Naruto Uzumaki and the anxious Sasuke Uchiha, who was in a hurry to get home, and asked the two girls, "How's it feeling to go to school?"

"Not a single one of them could fight!" Karin Uzumaki said proudly, "In today's practical lesson, I beat them all to a pulp!"

Yagami Yoichi: "..."

Karin Uzumaki's talent is undeniable. Under Yoruichi Yagami's tutelage, she has no nutritional deficiencies and her physical condition is countless times better than in the original work.

Even after learning how to refine chakra, he quickly developed a chakra level comparable to that of an elite Jonin.

After two years of growth, his chakra level is approaching that of a Kage.

This also made Yoruichi Yagami marvel at the outrageous physical gifts of the Uzumaki clan.

Aside from Yoruichi Yagami herself, who was practically cheating, Yoruichi Yagami had only ever seen Kage-level chakra at the age of six in three other Uzumaki clan members: Kaori Uzumaki, Karin Uzumaki, and Naruto Uzumaki.

Based solely on her chakra reserves, as long as Karin Uzumaki knows how to use chakra to enhance her taijutsu during battle, even if her skills are crude and appalling, she will absolutely not lose to any of her peers.

Even geniuses like Hyuga Neji or Uchiha Sasuke are no exception.

A punch imbued with a large amount of chakra is something that ordinary people cannot withstand.

It could even be said that in the ninja academy, those who could stand up after taking a punch from Karin Uzumaki were all top geniuses in taijutsu.

However.

What's giving Yagami Yoruichi a headache is how Uzumaki Karin developed this yakuza boss-like personality.

Thinking this to himself, but seeing Karin Uzumaki's expression of wanting praise, Yoruichi Yagami still smiled, reached out and ruffled her hair, saying, "Well done."

While talking to Karin Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, carrying his schoolbag, jogged past the three of them.

With a flick of his finger, Yagami Yoru sent a blast of chakra into Uchiha Sasuke's body.

The latter paused for a moment, looking puzzled.

"Hmm?" Sasuke Uchiha felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

He hesitated for a few seconds, but still couldn't find anything unusual, so he shook his head and continued running towards home.

In that short time, the chakra released by Yagami Yoruichi had already circulated once inside Uchiha Sasuke's body.

"The Yin Release power is noticeably stronger than it was a few days ago. Is it because we encountered Naruto? But we still haven't found Indra's chakra..."

Yagami Yoruichi glanced at Uchiha Sasuke's departing figure out of the corner of her eye, pondering to herself.

Using the same tactic again, he unleashed another burst of chakra to search through Naruto's body, but again found little.

Both of them have become stronger in Yin Release and Yang Release.

The improvement wasn't huge, but considering their age, it's quite remarkable.

However, the Asura chakra and Indra chakra were still not found.

I don't know if she was hiding it too well, or if Yagami Yoruichi used the wrong method.

"After they go to the Ninja Academy, these two will have more and more contact, and the changes will likely become more and more significant. We need to assign two clones to keep an eye on them and monitor the changes within their bodies at all times."

A thought flashed through Yagami Yoruichi's mind, but on the surface he said to Uzumaki Karin and Hyuga Hinata as if nothing was wrong, "Let's go, I'll take you to eat first, is there anything you want to eat?"

Karin Uzumaki didn't stand on ceremony at all and immediately said loudly, "I want to eat pork cutlet rice!"

"Alright, alright." Yagami Yoruichi smiled and looked at Hinata Hyuga, asking, "Hinata? Would you like some sweets?"

“If possible…” Hinata Hinata’s personality has become much more cheerful, but compared to Karin Uzumaki, she is still somewhat introverted and shy. She said softly, “If it’s too troublesome, then forget it. I can eat anything.”

"Alright, let's buy some together on the way home and eat together. We also need to bring food back for Kaori and Hikaru." Yagami Yoruichi took the two little ones' hands and walked towards the shopping street.

There are quite a few people in the family, and apart from Tsunade and Uchiha Hikaru, whose appetites are relatively normal, the others, including Yagami Yoruichi herself, are all big eaters.

Yagami Yoruichi led the two girls to several shops, packed a large bag of food, and then headed towards the Senju clan's territory.

Just as I was about to leave the commercial street, a girl with short purple hair walked towards me.

"Oh, taking care of a child~!" Mitarashi Anko raised her hand in greeting, while holding a handful of tricolor dumplings in her other hand.

"Here you go." Mitarashi Anko separated two strings of dumplings and handed them to Uzumaki Karin and Hyuga Hinata, then smiled and looked at Yagami Yoruichi, asking, "Aren't you with Kurenai-senpai?"

Yagami Yoruichi smiled and said, "She went to carry out a mission."

When they first met, Yoruichi Yagami made a joke and teased Kurenai Yuhi.

We met a few more times after that, and quickly became familiar with each other, and even went on a few dates.

After all, Yagami Yoruichi knew Kurenai Yuhi too well, and by catering to her preferences, he quickly increased her favorability.

"If you eat so many sweets, be careful you don't turn into a fatso like the Akimichi clan." When Yagami Yoruichi saw the large handful of three-colored dumplings in Mitarashi Anko's hand, he couldn't help but remind her of the image of 'Mitari Sweet Potato' from the Unburnt Legend.
