Konoha's Hextech Ninja

In addition to his exaggerated chakra reserves, thanks to Tobirama Senju's version of 'Sea Release' taught by Yoruichi Yagami, he already possessed the strength of a Jonin before graduating from the Ninja Academy.

Hinata Hyuga's growth was equally exaggerated.

After her 'big eater' attribute was developed early on, her physique and chakra reserves far exceeded the levels in the original work.

Although she is not on the same level as monsters like Karin Uzumaki and Naruto Uzumaki, she is still far above the average level of the Hyuga clan.

Furthermore, under the tutelage of Yagami Yoruichi from a young age, she did not follow the path of Gentle Fist, but instead began to practice Lightning Release.

After activating his Byakugan, he displayed an extraordinary level of archery skills.

He excels in close combat using Lightning Release Chakra Mode, and in long-range sniping using Chidori Stream combined with a bow and arrow.

In this graduating class of the Ninja Academy, apart from Karin Uzumaki, no one could withstand a single blow from Hinata Hyuga.

"But these two guys are too strong, it's hard to even put them in different classes."

Yagami Yoruichi's lips curled up slightly as he sensed the direction of the ninja academy.

Seeing that the 'graduation exam' of the Ninja Academy had ended, Yagami Yoruichi activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and appeared at the entrance of the Ninja Academy.

Not long after Yagami Yoruichi arrived at the entrance of the Ninja Academy, an Anbu member appeared in a flash, bowed to him, and said respectfully, "Lord Yoruichi, the Hokage asked me to deliver a message to you. She has something to discuss with you tonight."

If Hiruzen Sarutobi were in power, Yoruichi Yagami wouldn't bother with it at all.

But since Tsunade became Hokage, as long as it's not too troublesome, Yoruichi Yagami will still help her if she can.

Upon hearing the words from the Anbu, Yagami Yoruichi knew that Tsunade wanted to use her again, so she nodded and said, "I understand."

Chapter 242 The Leading Teacher? The Third Student's Choice

After waiting for a few minutes, Karin Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga walked out of the ninja academy together.

Hinata Hinata was also holding the hand of a little girl who was clearly several years younger.

It is Hinata Hanabi, who is currently a first-year student.

"Sir Yoruichi~!"

"Big brother~!" x2.

The three women quickened their pace happily upon seeing Yagami Yoruichi.

The lively Hyuga Hanabi leaped up and pounced into Yagami Yoruichi's arms.

"Big brother, sister and Karin are already ninjas!" Hyuga Hanabi looked up at Yagami Yoruichi, her eyes filled with anticipation, and asked, "When Hanabi grows up, can she become a ninja too?"

“If you want to be a ninja, of course you can,” Yagami Yoruichi said with a smile, as he picked up Hyuga Hanabi and placed her on his shoulder.

At this time, Hinata Hanabi, who was only six years old, was very thin and small. Sitting on Yagami Yoruichi's shoulders, she did not look out of place at all.

Hinata Hyuga has become stronger, but her personality remains as gentle as ever, and she has always doted on her younger sister since childhood.

When Hinata Hanabi got a little older, Hinata would bring her younger sister along when Hinata trained with Yoruichi Yagami.

From that time on, Hinata Hanabi liked to sit on Yagami Yoruichi's shoulders and wasn't shy at all.

Even now, this hobby, or rather habit, has not changed.

"Sir, I passed my graduation exam." Karin Uzumaki, holding her ninja headband, asked, "Am I to become a Konoha ninja?"

Strictly speaking, she was from an 'outsider'.

The reason Yagami Yoruichi was able to attend the Ninja Academy was because the Konoha leadership didn't want to upset him over such a trivial matter.

Of course, as a distant relative of Tsunade, joining Konoha could be considered a natural progression.

"What are your own thoughts?" Yagami Yoruichi countered.

Karin Uzumaki replied without hesitation, "I'll do as you say, sir. If you want me to be a ninja, I'll be one; if you don't, I'll refuse."

"You can decide this yourself," Yagami Yoruichi waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.

Karin Uzumaki is still young. Although she is already very strong, she is still in her growth period.

She can train in a team like any other ninja, or train alone with Yoruichi Yagami. It's just a difference in training methods, and it won't have a significant impact on her future strength ceiling.

Before Karin Uzumaki reaches the 'Kage' level, Yoruichi Yagami will not assign her any important missions.

Therefore, Yoruichi Yagami had no intention of interfering with her choice.

“I see…” Karin Uzumaki thought for a moment and asked, “If I become a ninja, can I be on the same team as Hinata? The strength of the others is too weak.”

The two are friends, but also competitors.

Over the years, they have both gotten used to each other as rivals.

“I…I also want to team up with Karin,” Hinata Hyuga quickly chimed in.

“If you two are on a team, it’ll be hard to find a third person,” Yagami Yoruichi said, stroking his chin.

Not only is it difficult to find a third teammate, but the team leader is also a problem.

They are incredibly strong.

Among the students of the same year, even Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, a pair known for their exceptional luck, were far inferior to them.

Not to mention the other students.

As for the instructors leading the team, even ordinary Jonin are not qualified to teach them anything.

Even an elite Jonin like Kakashi Hatake would struggle to deal with the two women working together.

As Yagami Yoruichi was pondering, the face of a pale-faced girl suddenly appeared in his mind.

Kurama Yakumo.

A disciple of Kurenai Yuhi.

A few years ago, when Yakumo Kurama's Yin Release power went berserk and the monster 'Ido' was born, it caused a minor disturbance.

At Kurenai's request, Yoruichi Yagami intervened, killed 'Ido', and gave Yakumo Kurama a 'Sprout of Creation', which gradually restored her extremely weak body.

Although Yakumo Kurama did not attend the Ninja Academy, after recovering his health, he possessed astonishing strength and potential thanks to the bloodline limit of the Kurama clan.

As a teammate of Karin Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga, she is definitely qualified.

However...

This group has a number of ninjas qualified to serve as their team leaders that can be counted on one hand throughout the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

We can't expect Tsunade, the Hokage, to personally lead them on low-level missions, can we?

After thinking for a moment, Yagami Yoruichi didn't immediately mention Kurama Yakumo, but instead said, "Let's go back first. Today you officially become ninjas, so we should have a big meal to celebrate."

"Yay, time for a big meal~!" Hinata Hanabi exclaimed excitedly, "I want cake! Cake!"

……

late at night.

Yagami Yoruichi escorted Hinata and Hanabi Hyuga back to the Hyuga clan and returned them to their home.

Tsunade sat in the living room, looking like she had been waiting for a long time.

"Hey, you didn't drink today?" Yagami Yoruichi joked with Tsunade.

"Hmph, you brat, you have no respect for your teacher at all!" Tsunade grumbled, then looked at Yoruichi Yagami and said, "Any interest in being the team leader?"

"Team leader?" Yagami Yoruichi raised an eyebrow and said, "You know I'm not interested in Konoha's affairs."

The ninja team leadership system is a tradition established during the time of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

Every year during graduation season, the Hokage personally decides on the class assignments for newly recruited genin and the selection of team leaders.

Elite squads that are given special training are all led by Jonin.

Those "cannon fodder squads" with little talent are led by Chunin or Special Jonin.

Even without Tsunade saying it, Yoruichi Yagami knew that the class assignments and team leaders for this year's ninjas would give Tsunade a lot of headaches.

Let's not even talk about Karin Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga, those two monsters whose strength is beyond the limit.

Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, this pair of "fate-bound" ninjas, are not easy to choose, whether as the third teammate or the leader of the team.

In addition, after Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped down, Tsunade intended to weaken the influence of the Sarutobi clan in Konoha.

She didn't want to choose ninjas who were too close to the Sarutobi clan, such as the Ino-Shika-Cho, Aburame, and Inuzuka clan members, and she also needed to carefully consider who would lead the team.

"Karin and Hinata, you're not planning to take them either?" Tsunade looked at Yoruichi Yagami and said, "Only you can be their teacher."

"Them..." This time, Yoruichi Yagami did not immediately refuse.

If she were to be the mentor for Karin Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga, Yoruichi Yagami wouldn't be so strongly opposed to it.

After thinking for a while, Yagami Yoruichi said, "If they team up, let's choose Kurama Yakumo as their teammate."

"That child from the Kurama clan?" Tsunade's mind quickly conjured up information about Kurama Yakumo.

Although Yakumo Kurama did not attend the Ninja Academy due to his physical condition, his talent as a ninja was indeed outstanding.

Especially after receiving treatment from Yoruichi Yagami, her health gradually improved, making her a true genius.

However, can an ordinary genius compare to Karin Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga?

Tsunade, filled with doubt, asked directly, "Do you think that child has such strength?"

“Her Yin Release talent is very strong.” Yagami Yoruichi recalled the last time he saw Kurama Yakumo.

The illusion technique orchestrated by the Yin Release monster 'Ido' almost dragged Yagami Yoruichi into it.

It's easy to imagine how terrifying her Yin Escape talent was.

With the enhancement of the Kurama clan's bloodline limits 'Five Senses Manipulation' and 'Illusionary Life,' it would be an exaggeration to say she has Kage-level combat power, but ordinary Jonin, if they don't have enough resistance to genjutsu, could be instantly killed by her.

With Yagami Yoruichi's 'Sprout of Creation' helping her compensate for her physical defects, her strength can grow without any constraints.

Given time, reaching the level of a movie star will be no problem at all.

It's not impossible that it could even reach the level of a super-shadow figure.

Of course, without the bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan, this is the limit; there is absolutely no possibility of reaching the Six Paths level.

But don't mention Super Shadow.

Even if he is only among the top tier of Kage-level ninjas, he would still be at the top of the ninja world.

“Since you put it that way…” Tsunade looked at Yoruichi Yagami and suggested again, “You will be their team leader.”

After thinking for a moment, Yagami Yoruichi nodded and said, "If it's the three of them, then it's fine."

It mainly consists of Karin Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga.

Kurama Yakumo was an accessory.

Yoruichi Yagami helped her in the first place because of Kurenai Yuhi's request.

—The relationship between Kurenai Yuhi and Yoruichi Yagami in this world is also very close.

It's just a matter of a single opportunity to break through that final barrier.

With this relationship in place, and it being a small thing that could be done easily, Yagami Yoruichi naturally wouldn't refuse.

However, it's not accurate to say that Yagami Yoruichi cares too much about Kurama Yakumo.

She's just a junior who's more agreeable because of Kurenai Yuhi, a case of 'love me, love my dog'.

"Then this team is settled." Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief when Yagami Yoruichi agreed.

The most troublesome squad has been identified. The rest are also a bit of a headache, but they can be properly allocated.

Tsunade thought for a moment and asked, "Naruto and Sasuke, do you have any suggestions? It's hard to find teammates who can match their strength. As for leading a Jonin... who do you think is more suitable, Kakashi or Jiraiya?"

Upon hearing that Yagami Yoruichi referred to Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha as "the prophets of fate," Jiraiya abandoned his search for the "Child of Prophecy" and, after returning to Konoha, focused his attention on the two men.

Tsunade didn't hold back with her old teammate, assigning Jiraiya a whole bunch of troublesome tasks to carry out.

Now that Jiraiya is choosing a mentor for Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, he has entered her field of vision.

“Kakashi is more suitable to teach Sasuke, and Jiraiya is more suitable to teach Naruto. Anyone would do,” Yagami Yoruichi thought for a moment and said, “As for teammates, how about Aburame Shino?”

In terms of strength, apart from Karin Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha are in the second tier of this generation, far ahead of the others.

Haruno Sakura's grades in theory class are good, but her practical skills are terrible.

Even if she had a cheat code, like Tsunade taking Haruno Sakura as her disciple, she still couldn't keep up with the progress of Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke.
