Konoha's Hextech Ninja

Unless one can use shadow clones to gain an unfair advantage, learning too many different skills will inevitably lead to insufficient specialization, thus preventing one from fully demonstrating their abilities.

In addition, there is the 'Water Release: Water Chaos Wave' which still needs continuous improvement.

These three ninjutsu have been studied by Yoruichi Yagami for quite some time.

As Yagami Yoruichi was pondering this, she suddenly realized something: "Wait a minute, I can learn Shadow Clone Technique!"

When a shadow clone dissipates, it transmits its memories back to the original body.

It has a great auxiliary effect on cultivation.

Ordinary ninjas cannot use it because their chakra reserves are insufficient. In addition, when the shadow clones dissipate, not only do they bring back the memories of their training, but also their fatigue and other effects are simultaneously transmitted back to their original body.

If too much fatigue accumulates in a short period of time, there is a possibility of sudden death.

However, given Yagami Yoruichi's chakra reserves and physique, as long as she controls the number of shadow clones, the risk won't be too great.

Even if you only create one shadow clone, your cultivation efficiency can double.

However, since Kosuke Maruboshi didn't teach him Shadow Clone Technique, perhaps there were other considerations?

Yagami Yoruichi hesitated for a moment, then decided to put the problem aside for the time being and learn the two ninjutsu left behind by Maruboshi Kosuke first.

But not today.

Yagami Yoru carefully put the scroll away, looked at Kurenai Yuhi, and said, "You're here early today, so I'll practice shuriken throwing with you first. We'll practice genjutsu this afternoon."

Previously, Kurenai Yuhi would only come in the afternoon, and the two of them mainly practiced illusion techniques.

With Yagami Yoruichi as the 'target,' Kurenai Yuhi casts an illusion on him, and Yoruichi tries his best to break free from the illusion as quickly as possible.

This method can improve Kurenai Yuhi's proficiency in illusions and also enhance Yoruichi Yagami's ability to resist and break illusions, which is a win-win situation.

However, if Kurenai Yuhi practiced genjutsu all day, her chakra reserves would not be sufficient, so Yoruichi Yagami adjusted the training plan.

"You two..." Kakashi Hatake's voice was weak and listless, "Have you forgotten that there's someone else here? If I'm disturbing your date, I can leave now."

"Huh?! A date or something..." Kurenai's face turned bright red instantly, and she was at a loss for words.

"Stop messing around." Yagami Yoruichi said helplessly.

I did forget that Kakashi Hatake was still by my side, but there was a reason for that.

First, she showed Maruboshi Kosuke the results of her training, then accepted his guidance, and then Kurenai Yuhi arrived.

Kakashi Hatake perfectly concealed his aura, making him completely invisible, so it's normal that I didn't remember him for a moment.

Now, however, he uses these words to make fun of himself and Kurenai Yuhi.

But for some reason, when she heard Kakashi Hatake say that the two of them were on a 'date', Yoruichi Yagami felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

But at this age, isn't it a bit too early to talk about dating?

Yoruichi Yagami's thoughts couldn't help but wander, and she almost came up with a name for her child.

"Everyone in the school knows you two are a couple." Kakashi Hatake stared at Yoruichi Yagami and Kurenai Yuhi with dead fish eyes and teased, "I wouldn't be surprised if you two got married right after graduation."

Yoruichi Yagami knew that Kakashi Hatake was joking on purpose, so she didn't think anything of it.

However, Kurenai Yuhi is incredibly shy and is showing signs of transforming into a 'steam princess'.

"That's enough," Yagami Yoruichi said irritably. "Do you still want to train?"

"So what's the next activity? Sword throwing?" When the topic of training came up, Kakashi Hatake stopped joking with the two of them and instantly became serious.

Yagami Yoruichi nodded and said, "Let's practice shuriken throwing. School starts in a few days, and shuriken throwing will be included in the practical exam next semester. It's better to practice in advance."

Throwing shuriken is one of Kakashi Hatake's strengths.

However, Yoruichi Yagami is not weak either.

When I hired Ikkaku Umino as a sparring partner, he taught Yoruichi Yagami some shuriken throwing techniques.

Later, he became friends with Kakashi Hatake and learned some unique skills from him.

Although she is still not as skilled as Kakashi Hatake, her superior physical abilities and the sheer force of her throwing shuriken make her more threatening than Kakashi Hatake.

Kurenai, on the other hand, is too young and physically weak, with weaknesses in physical skills and shuriken throwing.

Yoruichi Yagami specifically suggested extra shuriken throwing practice, also with the intention of helping Kurenai Yuhi improve her strength.

Chapter 39 "Who invites a girl to eat ramen?!"

"Magic - Naraku's Eye Technique!"

The surrounding environment rapidly changed, turning into a battlefield.

Towering trees filled the entire field of vision, and in the night sky above, the moon's surface shone with a dazzling crimson, with nine black magatama intertwined in swirling ripples.

It was a scene from when 'Infinite Tsukuyomi' was activated.

The 'Magic - Naraku's Appearance Technique' will incite the strongest fear in people's hearts.

For Yagami Yoruichi, the thing she feared most was encountering an opponent she couldn't match before she had enough strength, such as the Otsutsuki clan.

Although it wasn't the first time she had faced this illusion, Yoruichi Yagami was still slightly stunned by the realistic scene.

Startled for a moment, Yagami Yoruichi came to her senses and formed the 'Ren' hand seal, disrupting the flow of chakra within her body.

As the chakra flow was disrupted, the scene created by the illusion quickly dissipated, and Yoruichi Yagami's consciousness returned to reality.

“It’s much faster than before, Yoruichi-kun.” Seeing that Yoruichi had regained consciousness, Kurenai stopped the timer in her hand and showed the time to Yoruichi: “It only took 0.6 seconds to break free from the genjutsu.”

At first, when Kurenai Yuhi had just learned the 'Magic - Naraku's Appearance Technique', it took Yoruichi Yagami about two seconds to break free.

After intensive training for most of the winter break, Yoruichi Yagami can now break free from the control of illusions in a fraction of a second, which is a significant improvement.

"It's still a bit slow," Yagami Yoruichi sighed. "Kurenai, your control over illusions has improved again."

Yoruichi Yagami is making progress, but so is Kurenai Yuhi.

Her physical talent was relatively average, but her talent in Yin Release was second only to the Uchiha and Kurama bloodline families who were skilled in Yin Release.

His progress, especially in illusion magic, has been rapid.

At first, the illusion created by Kurenai Yuhi was quite crude.

But now, the illusion has become so realistic that even Yoruichi Yagami has difficulty distinguishing between the real and the fake in an instant.

If it weren't for the unique nature of the 'Naraku-sight Technique,' if it were a more subtle illusion, Yagami Yoruichi might not have been able to realize she was trapped in it immediately.

Although Kurenai Yuhi only learned two D-rank illusions.

However, with just these two genjutsu, and with the cooperation of her teammates, the effect she can exert is already no less than that of an ordinary Chunin.

The downside is that a pure genjutsu-type ninja has too few tricks up their sleeve, and it becomes dangerous if their genjutsu fails to produce immediate results.

However, as a first-year student at the ninja academy, Kurenai Yuhi still has enough time to continue improving her strength and making up for her weaknesses.

"That's enough for today." Yagami Yoruichi could tell that Kurenai Yuhi's chakra was almost depleted.

Her chakra reserves are quite good by ninja academy standards, but they can't compare to a monster like Yoruichi Yagami.

After a whole day of practicing shurikenjutsu and taijutsu, and a whole night of genjutsu, Kurenai Yuhi's chakra was already completely depleted.

"Let's rest for a while." Yagami Yoruichi took out a water glass and handed it to Yuhi Kurenai. The two sat down side by side on a rock.

“Your genjutsu is already very good. All you need to do now is continue to improve your proficiency.” Yagami Yoruichi thought for a moment and then said, “Also, pure genjutsu-type ninjas are too easy to target. You need to work on your taijutsu and shuriken skills so that you won’t be unable to fight when your genjutsu is no longer effective.”

"Okay!" Kurenai looked tired, but she was still in a great mood. She smiled and said to Yoruichi, "With Yoruichi-kun training with me, I feel like my strength is improving very quickly. Even my dad says I'm a genius!"

"Your strength has indeed improved very quickly." Yagami Yoruichi nodded with a smile.

Compared to herself, Kurenai Yuhi's improvement in strength was almost negligible.

However, compared to other students, Kurenai Yuhi's improvement during this winter break can only be described as astonishing.

She will definitely give everyone a huge surprise when school starts.

Yagami Yoruichi was thinking to himself.

After resting for a while, the two got up and prepared to leave.

Kakashi Hatake had already been called home by Sakumo Hatake around dinner time, so he didn't need to worry about this 'third wheel'.

As they passed through Konoha's commercial street, the aromas wafting from the restaurants and snack shops lining both sides of the street made Yagami Yoruichi feel a little hungry. He turned to Kurenai Yuhi and asked, "Are you hungry? Let me treat you to a meal."

Yagami Yoruichi remembered very clearly that Yuhi Kurenai had said in the morning that her father had gone on a mission and was not at home.

It was already late, and if she went home to cook dinner herself, who knew how long it would take her?

We might as well just eat out together.

Upon hearing Yagami Yoruichi's words, Kurenai Yuhi blushed slightly, as if she had thought of something, but she quickly recovered and said generously, "Okay, I want to eat that!"

Yagami Yoruichi looked in the direction Kurenai Yuhi was pointing and saw a small food stall selling takoyaki.

Yoruichi Yagami remembers that in the Naruto setting, Kurenai Yuhi's favorite food was wasabi octopus, which is similar to the main ingredients of takoyaki.

However, wasabi octopus is more suitable as an appetizer with drinks, and it's normal for Kurenai Yuhi to prefer takoyaki at her age.

Since Kurenai wanted to eat, Yoruichi Yagami didn't say anything more and simply pulled her to the snack shop, saying, "Boss, two orders of takoyaki, please."

"Alright, two orders of takoyaki." The owner quickly made the takoyaki while asking, "What kind of sauce do you want? We have salad dressing, ketchup, hot sauce, and wasabi."

"I want wasabi!" Kurenai Yuhi said impatiently.

Yagami Yoruichi glanced at it a few times before saying, "I want hot sauce."

The snacks were prepared very quickly; after only a few minutes, two servings of takoyaki were packed into a small paper box and handed to the two of them.

Yagami Yoruichi paid the money, skewered a takoyaki on a bamboo stick, and stuffed it into his mouth.

The umami flavor and the sweet and spicy sauce made Yagami Yoruichi's appetite soar, and she finished a plate of takoyaki in no time.

"This doesn't seem like enough." Yagami Yoruichi rubbed his stomach, looked at Yuhi Kurenai who was still taking small bites of takoyaki, and asked, "How about we get some more staple food? How about ramen?"

"Hey!" Kurenai couldn't help but frown and say speechlessly, "Who invites a girl out for ramen the first time they eat out?"

"Is it wrong to treat a girl to ramen?" Yagami Yoruichi scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

However, considering that the customs of the ninja world were different from those of Yagami Yoruichi's previous life, Yagami Yoruichi didn't dwell on it and asked directly, "So, is there anything you'd like to eat?"

Kurenai Yuhi's gaze swept over the restaurant signs along the street, and she hesitated for a moment.

Yagami Yoruichi could tell that she wasn't hesitating about what to eat, because her gaze had clearly lingered on a sign for a long time, indicating that she wanted to eat at that restaurant.

"Let's eat here." Yagami Yoruichi grabbed Yuhi Kurenai's hand and walked towards a shop ahead.

Chapter 40 Qiudao Feng

"Welcome to Akimichi BBQ Restaurant."

Yagami Yoruichi led Yuhi Kurenai into the yakiniku restaurant and sat down as directed by the waiter.

"Yoruichi-kun, isn't this place a bit too expensive...?" Kurenai Yuhi hesitated.

She knew about Yagami Yoruichi's family background.

As an orphan, she could only survive on the subsidies from Konoha Village. In fact, to make up for the expenses of ninja training, Yoruichi Yagami had to take time out every day to work part-time.

The barbecue restaurant run by the Akimichi clan is not cheap because of the high quality of the meat they use; even professional ninjas cannot afford to eat there often.

Kurenai Yuhi has a Jonin father, so she doesn't care about this expense.

But for Yoruichi Yagami, such a place would obviously be a huge burden on her wallet.

"Don't worry." Yagami Yoruichi smiled and pointed to the prices on the menu, saying, "I've earned quite a bit of money from my part-time job recently, so I can afford to treat you to a meal. If you feel bad about it, you can treat me to a meal next time."

The Akimichi clan's barbecue restaurant is not cheap, but what's truly expensive is the top-quality ingredients, such as premium beef imported from the Land of Lightning and seafood imported from the Land of Water.

However, there are also plenty of affordable ingredients to choose from, so it's not to the point that Yoruichi Yagami can't afford the bill.

After asking Kurenai Yuhi a few questions, Yoruichi Yagami quickly placed her order.

A dozen or so plates of marinated meats, along with a small barbecue grill, were served together.

Yagami Yoruichi had eaten this kind of self-service barbecue many times in her previous life, and she skillfully picked up the slices of meat and placed them on the grill to cook.

As the aroma began to waft through the air, Kurenai forgot all about the price, her mouth watering as she stared intently at the slices of meat on the grill.

"Alright, you can eat now." Seeing that the meat was almost cooked, Yagami Yoruichi cut the meat slices on the grill in half and put them in her and Kurenai Yuhi's plates respectively, then added new slices of meat and continued grilling.

"It's delicious." Kurenai's eyes lit up after just one bite: "The heat is just right, not burnt at all, it's perfect! Delicious!"
