Konoha's Hextech Ninja

"My name is Kakashi Hatake. I love becoming stronger. I have no dislikes. My dream is to revitalize the Hatake clan!"

"My name is Sarutobi Asuma..."

"My name is Kurenai Yuhi..."

One by one, the familiar characters from the original work appeared vividly before her, giving Yagami Yoruichi an indescribable sense of strangeness.

However, at this point in time, many characters' performances are quite different from those in the original work.

Obito, the ultimate villain of the ninja world, was still a sunny and cheerful boy; Kakashi Hatake didn't become a lazy bum who only knew how to read erotic novels; and Asuma Sarutobi wasn't the decadent, bearded old man he would become in the future...

Looking at these 'anime characters' that were now standing right in front of her, Yoruichi Yagami finally realized that she had been in this world for a full six years.

Because she was sitting in the very corner of the classroom, Yoruichi Yagami was the last one to go up to the podium and introduce herself.

“My name is Yagami Yoruichi. I like food and training, and I don’t have any particular dislikes. As for my dream…” Yagami Yoruichi paused for a moment, not revealing her true thoughts, but casually said, “My dream is to eat all the delicious food in the ninja world and become an excellent ninja.”

……

On the other side.

The Hokage's Office.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was not yet old at the time, was still 'peeping' at them with his crystal ball.

"They're all pretty good kids." Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled as he looked at the new class of ninja academy students.

The students of this graduating class of the Ninja Academy are among the most outstanding in terms of talent since the founding of Konoha.

They were even better than the Legendary Sannin and Minato Namikaze's generation.

Judging solely from the few geniuses who have already shown their talent, they are almost comparable to the generation led by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and Hiruzen Sarutobi.

This also made Hiruzen Sarutobi feel very gratified, marveling at how Konoha had become increasingly powerful under his leadership.

"Teacher, I've achieved some of your success by now, haven't I?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought to himself with satisfaction, "Besides, the batch you led back then were all geniuses from major clans. But this year, the Hatake clan only has a father and son left. They're called ninjas, but in reality, they're no different from commoners. The kid from the Mite clan is also incredibly talented in taijutsu, and then there's this Yoruichi Yagami. She's only six years old, but her chakra reserves are comparable to a Jonin. With proper guidance, she might become a talent in her own right. Geniuses from commoners are far more important than geniuses from ninja clans!"

For a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi was lost in a beautiful dream of surpassing his teacher, the Second Hokage.

"boom!"

The gate was suddenly kicked open, waking Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Danzo Shimura, with half his body wrapped in bandages, burst into the office and shouted, "Hiruzen, I've heard there are some promising talents among this year's ninja academy students? My Root is short-handed..."

"Don't even think about it!" Hiruzen Sarutobi knew what Danzo Shimura was about to say halfway through the conversation and refused without hesitation: "Didn't you just take dozens of children away from the orphanage a while ago?! Forget about these kids at the Ninja Academy, I have my own arrangements!"

asshole!

Danzo Shimura's heart sank. He had taken a group of orphans away from the orphanage, but he had done it secretly. Had he not been able to hide it from Hiruzen Sarutobi?

It seems that although Root is powerful, it is still far inferior to the Anbu, which is personally controlled by Hiruzen Sarutobi. Even such a small matter could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Anbu.

"Hinzan, everything I've done is for Konoha!" Shimura Danzo tried to explain: "The Root organization is short-handed. To cultivate reliable people, we must cultivate them from a young age."

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled dismissively: "So when you took those children from the orphanage, I didn't stop you. But don't even think about taking these kids from the Ninja Academy!"

The orphans in the orphanage all came from outside Konoha and could not be considered true 'one of Konoha'. It wouldn't matter if they were thrown to Shimura Danzo.

However, although some of the children at the ninja academy were war orphans, their parents were all Konoha ninjas, and they were all pure 'Konoha people', so Danzo naturally couldn't take them away.

—Those who are not orphans left behind by Konoha ninjas after their deaths have no right to attend Konoha's ninja academy.

Those orphans outside could be left to Danzo to torment at will; it wouldn't matter if they died.

Anyway, Yakushi Nonou's orphanage was just a vanity project to show off Konoha's 'grand village spirit'.

But if something happens to the orphans of Konoha ninjas, that would be a big deal!

Hiruzen Sarutobi knew very well where the foundation of his power lay.

"There are some things I can't be bothered with, but that doesn't mean I don't know them. Don't cross the line, Danzo!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at Danzo Shimura and said, enunciating each word clearly, "Remember, I am the Hokage!"

"You!" Shimura Danzo's anger surged, and he subconsciously replied, "You'll regret this, Hiruzen!"

After saying this, without waiting for Hiruzen Sarutobi's reply, Danzo Shimura slammed the door and left.

boom!

The door slammed against the doorframe with a loud bang.

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "..."

Chapter 3: Becoming Kurenai's Desk Mate

"Wake up, wake up!"

A gentle voice rang in Yagami Yoichi's ear.

Yagami Yoruichi groggily opened her eyes, looked at the little girl with black hair and red eyes in front of her, and asked, "Is school over?"

Her deskmate, Yuhi Kurenai, rolled her eyes and said, "It's time for the practical class. Don't you remember? You were the one who told me to wake you up before the practical class started."

"Oh, oh, I remember now, thank you." Yagami Yoruichi quickly thanked him.

Yoruichi Yagami had no interest in attending the brainwashing course "The Will of Fire".

The textbooks that were handed out when I registered for school the day before were already flipped through by Yagami Yoru when he got home.

The other courses were fine, but this "Will of Fire" course used about half a page to introduce the First Hokage's pacification of the chaotic world and the Second Hokage's ending of the First Shinobi World War. The rest of the content was almost 99% about praising the various deeds of the Third Hokage.

Its nauseating level is comparable to the way Yagami Yoruichi praised the 'great sun' in the neighboring peninsula in her previous life.

Yagami Yoruichi really wanted to ask Sarutobi Hiruzen, what makes him so worthy of calling himself the 'strongest Hokage'?

Could it be that you've never seen Hashirama Senju's Wood Release before?

Anyway, Yagami Yoichi had absolutely no interest in listening to these kinds of lessons and simply chose to go to sleep.

However, there's no escaping the practical lessons.

"Is the practical lesson starting now? Let's go." Yagami Yoruichi looked at the classroom, which was almost empty, and called to Yuhi Kurenai to walk towards the playground together.

After a short while, everyone arrived.

Nobuyuki Imai stood in the center of the playground.

"The fact that you've been admitted means you've already refined your chakra, so I won't teach anything too basic," Nobuyuki Imai said confidently. "The first-year practical classes mainly cover taijutsu and shuriken throwing. Today, I'll teach you Konoha-ryu taijutsu, a type of steel fist taijutsu..."

Nobuyuki Imai demonstrated several times, then let the students practice on their own. He observed each student's movements and pointed out their mistakes.

Despite having a cheat code, once the three-year period is up, Yagami Yoruichi can immediately ascend to heaven by stepping on her right foot with her left foot, becoming a super stat monster.

But Yoruichi Yagami didn't slack off either, and diligently learned the Konoha-ryu taijutsu.

It's important to understand that the ninja world is far from peaceful these days.

Even in these relatively peaceful times, major incidents have occurred, such as the kidnapping of Kushina Uzumaki by the Hidden Cloud Village and the forced suicide of Sakumo Hatake by Konoha.

This is not the same concept as the 'absolute peace' during the childhood of the later protagonist, Naruto Uzumaki.

Even if you have cheat codes, you still have to wait until you have all six powerful items before you can 'ascend'.

Before that, he was at best a genius with some talent.

Before one's talent translates into actual strength, one is nothing.

Mastering more combat skills will greatly increase your chances of survival if you encounter danger in the future.

"Here, don't raise your elbows too high, otherwise it will affect your power."

Nobuyuki Imai patted Yoruichi Yagami's arm, adjusting her punching motion: "Try it again like this."

Yagami Yoruichi adjusted her posture as instructed and threw a punch.

Sure enough, the force of the punches became much smoother, and the power of the punches seemed to have increased.

"Thank you, teacher." Yagami Yoruichi.

In this ninja world where people cherish their own knowledge, even something as basic as Konoha-style taijutsu is something that a teacher is worthy of being called a qualified teacher if they are willing to teach their students seriously.

Although this is a rule of Konoha, teaching casually and perfunctorily is completely different for students from carefully correcting every little mistake.

Based on my interactions with him over the past two days, Nobuyuki Imai can be considered a responsible teacher.

While practicing her taijutsu, Yagami Yoruichi's gaze swept across her surroundings.

Aside from the minor characters who didn't appear in the original story, the performances of the named classmates at this point show obvious differences.

Kakashi Hatake truly deserves to be called the number one genius of this year; his execution of every move is even better than that of his teacher, Nobuyuki Imai.

Chakra was attached to his fists and feet, and each punch and kick was accompanied by a clear whooshing sound, showing that it was quite powerful.

The others were clearly a step behind, but they were still better than most ordinary students.

Even Obito Uchiha, who was known as the 'bottom of the class', actually didn't perform as badly as Yoruichi Yagami originally thought.

He was at least on par with Sarutobi Asuma, Kurenai Yuhi, and others, but he was far inferior to Kakashi.

But compared to most other extras, he is clearly a level above them all.

I don't know where the nickname 'bottom of the class' came from.

Is it because Obito's theory skills are really that bad?

A question couldn't help but pop into Yagami Yoruichi's mind.

After practicing several times, the students with less stamina were already panting heavily.

Imai Nobuyuki also took the opportunity to call a halt.

"Next, we'll draw lots for sparring sessions. Practicing on your own is just for show. To truly master it, you need real-world sparring."

Nobuyuki Imai took out a lottery box and explained the rules: "The two people who are drawn together will spar with each other and may only use the Konoha-style taijutsu taught today. They are not allowed to use any secret techniques or ninjutsu that have not yet been taught at the school."

As he spoke, Nobuyuki Imai pulled two slips of paper from the box and read out the names on them: "Obito Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake!"

"They're here!"

Obito Uchiha leaped to the center of the playground and shouted, "I, Obito Uchiha, will dominate the Ninja Academy starting with this battle! Who is Kakashi?!"

"It's Kakashi." Kakashi Hatake stepped forward expressionlessly.

Obito Uchiha blushed as he called his classmate by the wrong name and subconsciously apologized: "Sorry, I misheard you, but I won't hold back in this battle!"

"That suits me perfectly." Kakashi Hatake was also curious about the level of this year's students.

If they're all a bunch of noobs, he has no interest in playing ninja games with these kids.

To revitalize the Hatake family, we must achieve fame as quickly as possible.

"Form the seal of opposition!" Nobuyuki Imai stood between the two and announced with a wave of his hand, "The battle begins!"

As Imai Nobuyuki announced the start, Uchiha Obito immediately charged forward.

The next moment, Kakashi Hatake easily dodged Obito Uchiha's punch, hooked his foot and tripped Obito to the ground, then bent his knee and pressed down, pressing down on Obito's neck.

One-hit kill!

Seeing this, Nobuyuki Imai was stunned for a moment before reacting, and quickly announced: "The winner is Kakashi Hatake! Form the Seal of Reconciliation!"

Kakashi Hatake released Obito Uchiha, whose face was flushed red as he shouted, "I was careless just now and didn't dodge! I'm not satisfied, let's do it again!"

"Even if we do it a hundred times, the result will be the same. You are no match for me." Kakashi Hatake said expressionlessly, as if stating a fact.

At the same time, he mentally labeled Obito Uchiha as a 'noob'.

"You!" Obito Uchiha broke down on the spot, furious and trying to rush forward.

"Obito-kun." Nohara Rin handed a band-aid to Uchiha Obito, pointed to his wrist, and said, "You're injured. Let's treat your wound first."

"Huh?" Obito Uchiha stared at the girl in front of him, stunned and frozen in place.

On the other side, Nobuyuki Imai had already drawn the name of his second match from the lottery box.

"Sarutobi Asuma, Yagami Yoruichi."

Chapter 4 One punch kills 35 million taels

Sarutobi Asuma leaped forward, jumping over a distance of more than ten meters, and landed steadily in the center of the training field, looking at Yagami Yoruichi with hostile eyes.
