Konoha's Hextech Ninja

But from the first day Yagami Yoruichi started working there, every morning and evening after delivering the goods, Teuchi Ichiraku would treat Yagami Yoruichi to a large, deluxe bowl of ramen topped with all sorts of toppings.

This already made Yagami Yoruichi extremely grateful.

Yagami Yoruichi felt a little embarrassed to charge any more money.

"Take it. You've saved me a lot of work, you deserve it." Tetsuya Ichiraku smiled and stuffed the money into Yagami Yoruichi's hand, encouraging her, "Keep it up! I've heard about your reputation as a ninja academy genius, and I hope you can become a great ninja in the future."

Yagami Yoruichi hesitated for only a moment before accepting the money, smiling and saying, "Thank you, Uncle Teda. I will recommend your shop to my classmates."

Although it seems like it doesn't need a recommendation, when Ichiraku Ramen opened during the winter break, quite a few students lined up.

Even people like Mite Kai and Kakashi Hatake, who aren't particularly interested in food, came.

"Haha, thank you so much for helping me attract customers!" Teda Ichiraku laughed heartily, waved to Yagami Yoruichi, and said, "Keep training going, Yoruichi-kun!"

"Goodbye, Uncle Tsubasa, I'll be back tonight." Yagami Yoruichi waved and jogged towards the Konoha training ground.

After a busy day, I had a meal.

When we arrived at the training ground, it was already broad daylight.

After a period of training in taijutsu and ninjutsu as usual, Kakashi Hatake came over and trained with Yoruichi Yagami.

The two were so familiar with each other that they trained together for a while. When it came time for sparring, Kakashi Hatake immediately noticed Yoruichi Yagami's change.

After exchanging a few blows, Kakashi Hatake quickly called a halt, looking at Yoruichi Yagami with astonishment: "How did your power increase so much?!"

"It's probably because of the training I've been doing recently. I feel like my physical condition has improved a lot, and so has my chakra," Yagami Yoruichi vaguely replied.

You can't exactly say, "My system is cheating, that's why I suddenly became so much stronger," can you?

"Your physical talent is truly freakish!" Kakashi Hatake couldn't help but retort, "Are you sure you're not from the Senju clan?"

At only six or seven years old, his body is so strong that most bloodline families could not achieve this.

Only a few ancient bloodline families occasionally produce geniuses with extraordinary bloodlines who, at a young age, possess physical qualities comparable to or even surpassing those of Jonin.

The most famous of them all in Konoha is the Senju clan, which has since disbanded.

Since the time of the Second Hokage, the Senju clan abandoned the surname 'Senju' and assimilated into the common people of Konoha. Although the clan no longer exists, countless people have inherited the Senju bloodline.

Even the Konoha leadership couldn't be certain how many of the so-called 'commoner ninjas' in Konoha actually possessed the Senju bloodline.

"I don't know. I'm an orphan. I've never met my parents, and I don't know anything about my elders." Yagami Yoruichi shook her head, not answering the question.

Yoruichi Yagami was certain that she was definitely not a descendant of the Senju clan.

On the system panel, the 'Bloodline Limit' column clearly states 'None', meaning there are no special bloodlines.

It doesn't mean they're not awakened; it means they're not awakened at all.

However, with the help of the system, it might awaken the strange abilities of the heroes in LOL. If there are any that are hard to explain, we can put it into the bloodline limit.

For example, 'Wood Release'.

Could Zyra and Taiju's abilities be considered a special kind of 'Wood Release' bloodline?

Yoruichi Yagami's thoughts couldn't help but drift off.

“Perhaps you really do have the bloodline of the Senju clan,” Kakashi Hatake speculated. “Currently, the only ones known to possess extremely strong physical attributes and chakra reserves are the Senju and Uzumaki clans. But the Uzumaki clan has been wiped out, and they all had red hair. Your hair is black, so you are definitely not from the Uzumaki clan. That leaves only the Senju clan.”

After a pause, Kakashi Hatake continued, "Of course, it's also possible that it's just your innate talent."

"Whatever, I'm just a commoner, that's all." Yagami Yoruichi shook his head, not dwelling on the topic, and changed the subject, saying, "I heard that Minato-senpai is interested in taking you as his disciple?"

"It's not decided yet. They said it will have to wait until I graduate." Kakashi Hatake smiled and said, "But I will definitely seize this opportunity. Minato-senpai is the youngest Jonin in the history of the village."

If it weren't for me, you would have broken this record in a few years!

"Ichishin Yagami thought to himself."

Minato Namikaze became a Jonin in his teens, breaking the records of Konoha and even the Five Great Ninja Villages. This was something Konoha publicized extensively.

After all, he was a direct descendant of the Hokage lineage, so this could be seen as building momentum for Minato Namikaze.

Most importantly, Minato Namikaze's strength is worthy of such a title.

If someone with less strength but a big reputation were to be chosen, it would be a burden, making them more vulnerable to being targeted by the enemy, and they might even die in battle much earlier.

For example, the rope tree.

However, Minato Namikaze does not have this problem.

His strength is such that he is not afraid of being targeted by enemies. As long as he does not face opponents of the level of 'Kage' or Jinchuriki, he can at least guarantee that he will not be defeated.

When he masters the Flying Thunder God Technique in the future, he won't even need to fear Kage or Jinchuriki anymore.

Kakashi Hatake naturally cherished the opportunity to become a disciple of such a powerful figure.

"Don't envy me." Kakashi Hatake looked at Yoruichi Yagami and laughed, "That Uncle Kosuke, don't underestimate him just because he's only a genin. Even my father admires him. My father didn't say much about the specifics, but I can guess that his identity is definitely not ordinary."

As Kakashi was speaking, he suddenly looked towards the entrance of the training ground and said to Yoruichi Yagami, "Oh, Uncle Kosuke is here. He's probably here to see you."

The Results of Cultivation of the 'Previous' Seal in Chapter 37

"Kousuke-senpai," Yagami Yoruichi quickly greeted Maruboshi Kosuke.

"Yoruichi," Maruhoshi Kosuke said with a smile, still dressed as a farmer, "It's been a week. How's your training going?"

“I’ve made great progress.” Yagami Yoruichi said confidently, “I have already mastered the basic techniques of the ‘Ren’ seal and ‘Qian’ seal that you taught me last time, Kosuke-senpai.”

Kosuke Maruboshi did not teach Yoruichi Yagami any ninjutsu, but he did explain to her in detail the principles and techniques of the two special hand seals, 'Rin' and 'Zen'.

For Yoruichi Yagami, these things that relate to the essence of ninjutsu are more important than simply learning more ninjutsu techniques.

As she spoke, Yagami Yoruichi tentatively asked, "Shall I demonstrate for you?"

“Okay.” Maruhoshi Kosuke looked expectant and said, “I remember you only know the Water Chaos Wave technique? Let’s demonstrate with Water Chaos Wave.”

"Yes, senior." Yagami Yoruichi responded, facing the direction of a small river at the edge of the training ground, and formed the 'forward' hand seal.

A large amount of chakra was mobilized, released outside the body, and merged into the river.

In less than a second, more than a third of Yagami Yoruichi's chakra was activated, equivalent to the entire chakra of the weakest Jonin.

The next moment, Yagami Yoruichi changed his hand gestures, bringing his index and middle fingers together and crossing them in front of his chest.

This action is exactly the same as the hand seal for Naruto Uzumaki's 'Shadow Clone Technique'.

However, it does not belong to any conventional hand seal, but is the 'Ren' seal, which means 'arbitrary'. There are no fixed hand gesture requirements. As long as you are used to it, you can do any action.

With the 'Ren' seal formed, Yagami Yoruichi's chakra outside her body was fully mobilized.

A colossal column of water rose from the river and swept across the open space on the opposite bank.

Under the scouring of a large amount of water, thousands of square meters of dry open space were instantly transformed into a swamp.

"To be able to alter such a large area of ​​terrain and still have energy left, what an enviable amount of chakra," Maruboshi Kosuke exclaimed.

Maruboshi Kosuke is nearly fifty years old. For a ninja, although he is still in his prime, he is already at a stage where his physical functions are beginning to decline.

The first thing to decrease is physical fitness, and the amount of chakra that is closely related to physical fitness.

In terms of chakra reserves alone, he would have some difficulty performing such a large-scale ninjutsu.

Seeing how relaxed Yagami Yoruichi looked, Maruboshi Kosuke was also very envious.

For ninjas, the amount of chakra almost determines everything.

Even if a ninja with a large amount of chakra is weak in other aspects, he can still have strong combat power.

If your chakra level is low, even if you are strong in other aspects, the upper limit you can reach will not be very high.

In Konoha Village, there are many highly talented ninjas, but because their physical constitution is not good enough and their chakra reserves are insufficient, their strength is difficult to improve further.

Seeing Yagami Yoruichi's enormous amount of chakra, Maruboshi Kosuke felt both envious and fortunate.

Fortunately, such a genius was born in Konoha Village, not in a rival ninja village.

“Senior Kosuke, I can now barely use the ‘Ren’ seal to replace the three seals of ‘Water Release: Water Chaos Wave’, but if I use it like this, I can’t have more precise control, and I can only perform one attack.”

After demonstrating, Yoruichi Yagami shared her progress in mastering the newly revised 'Water Release: Water Chaos Wave': "If I only use the 'front' seal to increase the chakra scale, and then release the Water Chaos Wave using the normal 'Tatsu-Ox-Rabbit' seals, I can currently only manage a maximum of four attacks, with the last one unleashing two water pillars."

“There’s still room for improvement, but it’s already quite good.” Maruhoshi Kosuke nodded in satisfaction and said, “When you just formed the ‘Front’ hand seal, the portion of chakra that was released wasn’t connected to your mind tightly enough. If you could achieve a tighter connection between your mind and chakra, you could at least double the scale of your ninjutsu with the same amount of chakra. Also, the purpose of the ‘Ren’ hand seal is not to completely replace the regular hand seals, but to reduce the number of hand seals or change the rhythm of the hand seals to make them smoother and more natural…”

Maruhoshi Kosuke meticulously pointed out the mistakes Yagami Yoruichi made and indicated the direction for improvement.

During most of the winter break, Kosuke Maruboshi would occasionally come to give Yoruichi Yagami pointers on her training.

Although he did not formally accept Yagami Yoruichi as his disciple, he already regarded her as half a successor.

When teaching Yoruichi Yagami, Kosuke Maruboshi did not rigidly teach her basic ninjutsu, but instead carefully broke down the principles and essence of ninjutsu and hand seals.

This method is naturally unsuitable for the vast majority of ordinary ninjas.

However, Kosuke Maruboshi believed that Yoruichi Yagami was a genius, and this teaching method was able to raise Yoruichi Yagami's potential.

"These are my notes from when I was young learning ninjutsu. This part contains my understanding of the 'Front' and 'Ren' hand seals. There are also two other ninjutsu techniques." Maruhoshi Kosuke handed a scroll to Yagami Yoruichi and instructed, "Take this back and study it carefully. If there's anything you don't understand, come find me here on weekends. As long as I'm not on any long-term missions, I'll come every weekend."

After placing the scroll into Yagami Yoruichi's hand, Maruboshi Kosuke looked up at the distance and teased with a smile, "Your little girlfriend is here, so this old man won't bother you young people anymore. Remember one thing: you can share the hand seals with your friends, but you can only learn the ninjutsu yourself."

Just as Yagami Yoruichi was about to thank him, she blushed upon hearing the words "little girlfriend" and instinctively wanted to refute them.

But for some reason, when she thought of Kurenai's adorable appearance, she couldn't bring herself to deny it, and for a moment she stammered and couldn't say anything.

"Hahahaha!" Maruhoshi Kosuke rarely saw Yagami Yoruichi like this, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. This old man has something to do, so I'll be going now." Maruhoshi Kosuke chuckled for a while, waved to Yagami Yoruichi, and disappeared in a flash.

Just then, Kurenai Yuhi jogged up to Yoruichi Yagami and asked curiously, "Yoruichi-kun, wasn't Grandpa Kosuke here just now? How come he disappeared all of a sudden?"

"Senior Kosuke had to leave, leaving us to train on our own." Yagami Yoruichi had already composed herself and asked Yuhi Kurenai, "Why are you here so early today? You usually come in the afternoon."

"Dad's away on a mission, no one's home to look after me!" Kurenai happily moved closer to Yoruichi Yagami and asked, "Yoruichi-kun, what are you training for today? Do you want me to help you further improve your genjutsu resistance?"

"No rush." ​​Yagami Yoruichi shook her head, opened the scroll left by Maruboshi Kosuke, and wanted to see what the two ninjutsu recorded on it were.

Chapter 38 Fire Release and Wind Release Ninjutsu

Yagami Yoruichi opened the scroll and scanned it quickly.

The preceding text consists of notes about the 'Qian' seal and the 'Ren' seal.

Turning to the last page, Yagami Yoruichi saw two ninjutsu techniques recorded in the scroll.

It wasn't the two water-style ninjutsu that I expected.

Instead, it was a Fire Release technique and a Wind Release technique.

Both are C-rank ninjutsu.

Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique.

Wind Release: Vacuum Blade.

The former is similar to 'Water Release: Water Chaos Wave', a wide-range ninjutsu. However, due to the characteristics of fire ninjutsu, it is more lethal, while its defensive effect is almost negligible.

The latter is a close-combat ninjutsu that attaches wind-style chakra to kunai or other weapons to enhance the sharpness of the strike; or it would be more appropriate to call it 'ninjutsu taijutsu'.

Both ninjutsu techniques are clearly explained, from hand seals and chakra manipulation to the precautions for each step of training.

With this information, as long as you have the corresponding attribute and spend enough time practicing, even the most ordinary genin can learn it.

After all, it's only a C-rank ninjutsu, so it's not too difficult to learn.

Water Release: Water Chaos Wave is a versatile attack and defense technique, Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique is a large-scale area-of-effect attack, and Wind Release: Vacuum Blade is a close-combat technique.

These three ninjutsu techniques can cover the vast majority of situations and are compatible with Yagami Yoruichi's innate wind, water, and fire attributes.

It was clearly a combination carefully selected by Kosuke Maruhoshi.

Of course, an even better combination would be a purely defensive Water Release ninjutsu, along with Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique and Wind Release: Vacuum Blade.

However, although Yoruichi Yagami's 'Water Release: Water Chaos Wave' is not purely defensive, it still has decent defensive capabilities, so there's no need to rush to master a purely defensive ninjutsu.

This is also why Kosuke Maruboshi only left two ninjutsu techniques for Yoruichi Yagami.

For a genius like Yoruichi Yagami, learning a ninjutsu might not take too long.

However, to perfectly implement the system, it still requires a lot of time and effort.

Especially in the early stages, learning too many different things may not be a good thing.

After all, a person's energy is limited.
