Konoha's Hextech Ninja

"Okay, please." Yagami Yoru didn't treat Yuhi Kurenai like an outsider from the start. He naturally took Yuhi Kurenai's small hand and led her out of the training ground, asking as they walked, "What do you want to eat today?"

Kurenai nestled close to Yoruichi Yagami, tilted her head, and thought for a moment before saying, "Takoyaki, and sushi! Hmm, Yoruichi-kun wants more meat, so let's add another serving of beef!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Yagami Yoruichi held the little girl's hand, and the two walked down the bustling commercial street, their backs to the camera, creating a strange sense of harmony.

It seems that this young couple was meant to be together.

Chapter 59 Kurenai Yuhi: Tsunade, I am your idol!

"Huh? Yoruichi-kun?"

"Kid, what are you doing here?"

Two familiar voices rang out at the entrance of a restaurant.

When Yagami Yoichi saw the visitors, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression. He quickly greeted them, "Tsunade-sensei, Shizune, are you here for dinner?"

"Teacher just finished gambling... cough cough, teacher just finished work and brought me here to eat." Shizune almost let it slip.

Tsunade glared at Shizune with annoyance, then glanced at Kurenai Yuhi beside Yoruichi Yagami and asked Yoruichi, "You brat, why aren't you at home studying? What are you doing here?"

"I just finished my training and came to eat." Yagami Yoruichi said truthfully, "As for the book my teacher gave me, I left a shadow clone at home, so it won't delay my progress."

After the explanation, Yagami Yoruichi finally came to her senses and quickly introduced, "Teacher, this is my and Shizune's classmate, Kurenai Yuhi. Kurenai, this is my teacher. Didn't you say before that your biggest idol was Tsunade-sensei?"

Tsunade is the idol of almost all female ninjas in Konoha.

As a female ninja, she became a renowned powerhouse in the ninja world; there are very few who can achieve this.

In this generation of Konoha, there is only Tsunade.

Such a feat naturally inspired admiration from many female ninjas, including Kurenai Yuhi.

"Tsunade-sama!" Kurenai Yuhi was so excited upon seeing Tsunade that she was almost flustered, stammering, "I'm Kurenai Yuhi, I'm your idol, no, you're my fan, no..."

Kurenai was so excited that she became incoherent, making several mistakes in a row, and almost burst into tears.

"Alright, don't get so excited." Tsunade noticed Kurenai's tension, put her hand on Kurenai's shoulder, and said with a smile, "You're from Kurenai's family, right? Your mental strength is very strong. You seem to be a genius."

Upon hearing Tsunade's gentle tone, Yagami Yoruichi's expression suddenly turned strange.

Tsunade has never been so gentle when facing herself.

Subconsciously, Yagami Yoruichi looked at Shizune, his eyes asking Tsunade if she usually did this too.

Shizune understood the meaning in Yagami Yoru's eyes and avoided eye contact.

Although there was no answer, the answer was self-evident.

"What are you two brats doing, exchanging glances like that?!" How could Tsunade not notice their 'exchange'? Realizing what they were thinking, she was instantly annoyed: "Do you think I'm a woman with a bad temper?!"

"No, no!" Yagami Yoruichi quickly admitted, "Tsunade-sensei is the gentlest! Tsunade-sensei is the best! Tsunade-sensei is the greatest!"

Shizune: "..."

Tsunade: "..."

Yuri Hong: "..."

"You glib brat! If you're going to eat, hurry up and go back to your studies after you're done eating!" Tsunade punched Yagami Yoruichi on the forehead. Although she didn't use her superhuman strength or even her chakra, it was still so fast that Yagami Yoruichi couldn't react at all.

"Ouch, that hurts!" Yagami Yoruichi clutched his head, but dared not protest any further.

Yoruichi Yagami had witnessed Tsunade's explosive temper firsthand.

If she really angers her, her monstrous strength is something that even the current Yoruichi Yagami simply cannot withstand.

"Stop standing there, come in and eat." Tsunade strode into the restaurant, asked for a private room, ordered a few side dishes to go with her drinks, and tossed the menu to Yagami Yoruichi, saying, "Order whatever you want, don't waste food."

"Is the teacher treating? Then I'll have to order something expensive," Yagami Yoruichi said with a grin.

Although Tsunade always loses at gambling, she hasn't left Konoha yet and owns a huge fortune from the Senju clan, so her net worth is naturally considerable.

A mere meal is nothing to Tsunade.

Upon hearing Yagami Yoruichi's words, Tsunade angrily retorted, "What kind of nonsense is this? Do you think I'd let a brat like you pay?!"

After taking Yagami Yoruichi as her student, Tsunade also learned about Yagami Yoruichi's situation.

Although she wouldn't be looking after Yagami Yoruichi every second, since they had run into each other, Tsunade naturally wouldn't mind treating Yagami Yoruichi to a meal.

Despite saying he was going to rip off a glutton, Yagami Yoichi didn't actually order many expensive dishes. Instead, he ordered some dishes that he and Yuhi Kurenai liked: "Wasabi octopus, sea urchin sushi, beef platter, tempura set meal, plus a fried chicken rice bowl."

After ordering, Yagami Yoruichi handed the menu to Shizune and asked, "Shizune, do you want to add some more?"

Shizune took the menu, ordered a dish for herself, and then returned the menu to the waiter.

"How's your study of those books I gave you going?" Tsunade asked, looking at Yoruichi Yagami.

"I've already learned one-third of it, and it will probably take a few more months to master it all," Yagami Yoruichi said truthfully.

Tsunade gave Yagami Yoruichi far too many medical books.

Even with the help of shadow clones, it would still take a very long time to learn everything.

"One-third? That's fast?" Tsunade frowned and asked, "Are you sure you understand it all, and not just memorizing it?"

If you have a strong memory and can memorize by rote, this speed is not surprising.

But if you understand it completely, that would be amazing.

"It's mainly thanks to Shadow Clones," Yagami Yoruichi said truthfully. "Every day I make sure to have at least one Shadow Clones learning this knowledge. Without Shadow Clones, I wouldn't be able to do it so quickly."

Hearing Yagami Yoruichi's explanation, Tsunade's doubts lessened somewhat, but did not completely disappear.

She frowned, but didn't ask any further questions. She simply said, "Come to my house this weekend. I need to check on your studies. If you don't meet my expectations, you're not allowed to claim to be my student anymore!"

Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Yagami Yoruichi showed no concern whatsoever. Instead, she appeared eager to try and asked, "If I pass the teacher's test, will there be a reward?"

Through this period of contact, Yagami Yoruichi could sense that Tsunade recognized her talent and was willing to take her on as a 'student'.

However, due to some of her own reasons, Tsunade was not very concerned about her student and had no intention of formally accepting Yoruichi Yagami as her disciple.

It's like an attitude of just casually teaching someone.

This is not what Yagami Yoruichi wanted.

Now that we have such a high-ranking teacher, we naturally want to find ways to get some benefits out of him.

"You're actually haggling!" Tsunade glared, trying to intimidate Yoruichi Yagami.

But Yagami Yoruichi said matter-of-factly, "Teacher, shouldn't students be rewarded for doing well?"

"You brat!" Tsunade deliberately put on a stern face, feigning anger, and said, "If you can satisfy me, I'll reward you! But if you can't, just wait and see, the consequences will be severe!"

Chapter 60 Uchiha Inahi

The weekend hasn't arrived yet.

The next day after school, Kakashi Hatake brought the two Uchiha clan members to the training ground.

The younger one was Uchiha Tetsuka, who was in the same class as the other two.

Uchiha Tekka and Yagami Yoruichi were not particularly close, but they had been classmates for more than half a year and were already quite familiar with each other.

“This is my cousin, Uchiha Inahisa.” Uchiha Tetsuka briefly introduced the two: “Brother, this is our class’s top student, Yagami Yoruichi, Tsunade-sama’s student.”

Uchiha Inahisa nodded slightly, looked at Yagami Yoruichi, and said, "I've heard that you're very strong. But even if you're Tsunade-sama's student, I won't hold back."

That's just the nature of the Uchiha clan: competitive and unwilling to admit defeat.

In any battle, there is no such thing as "holding back".

“That suits me perfectly.” Yagami Yoruichi looked at Uchiha Inahisa and reminded her, “Inahisa-senpai, I hope you won’t underestimate me because of my age, or you’ll suffer the consequences.”

"Being accepted as a student by Lady Tsunade is certainly no simple matter." Uchiha Inahime took out a kunai and held it in her hand, while forming the opposing hand seal with her other hand. She said, "We are just sparring today. Regardless of the outcome, I hope it will not affect your friendship with Tetsuka."

What kind of friendship do I have with Uchiha Tetsuka!

Yagami Yoruichi inwardly complained, but he also guessed that Uchiha Inahisa's attitude mostly represented the attitude of the Uchiha clan.

The Uchiha clan's situation in the village was not good. Even though Yagami Yoruichi didn't care much about them, the villagers' attitude of both hatred and fear towards them revealed some clues.

Although the Uchiha clan has many madmen and mentally ill individuals, some of the more lucid members must be able to see that the current environment of Konoha is unfavorable to them and will inevitably seek change.

Given Tsunade's status, the Uchiha clan would naturally want to befriend her. Therefore, it's not hard to understand why they would specifically remind Uchiha Inaho and Uchiha Tetsuka to try and find a breakthrough through them in order to establish a relationship with Tsunade.

In just a few seconds, countless thoughts flashed through Yagami Yoichi's mind, and many ideas surged forth at the same time.

However, Yagami Yoruichi kept all her thoughts to herself, formed the opposing hand seal, and said to Hatake Kakashi, "Kakashi, could you please call 'start' for us?"

Kakashi Hatake and Tetsuka Uchiha stepped aside to make way for the two.

Kakashi Hatake raised his hands and shouted, "Three, two, one, go!"

The moment he shouted 'Start!', Yagami Yoruichi and Uchiha Tekka charged forward simultaneously.

As he charged forward, Uchiha Tekka fired three shuriken from an extremely tricky angle.

At this distance, the three shuriken were more than enough to block Yoruichi Yagami's movement space, allowing Inahisa Uchiha to instantly take the initiative.

Yoruichi Yagami's response was simple: she threw a kunai, knocking one of the shuriken away.

Ignoring the remaining two shuriken, Yagami Yoruichi rushed through the gap and lunged straight at Uchiha Inahi.

As the two shuriken brushed past Yagami Yoruichi, a kunai appeared in her hand, its surface covered with extremely concentrated wind-style chakra.

Wind Release: Vacuum Blade.

By attaching concentrated wind chakra to the surface of the kunai, the attack range of the kunai is extended, while giving it powerful penetrating power and sharpness.

This ninjutsu does not require hand seals and is extremely threatening in close combat.

"So fast."

Uchiha Inahisa faced the oncoming chakra wind blades and chose to dodge without hesitation.

Fighting against a chakra wind blade with extremely high sharpness is not a wise choice.

Ordinary kunai break at the slightest touch, and even fine, renowned swords don't stand a chance. Only top-tier divine weapons can easily suppress the wind blades formed by 'vacuum blades'.

Uchiha Inahime was just a student at the Ninja Academy, so naturally he couldn't possibly have any divine weapons. Faced with this situation, the best choice was not to fight Yagami Yoruichi head-on, but to look for other opportunities.

Whoosh!

The sound of wind breaking rang out.

However, as Uchiha Inahisa retreated to the side, several shuriken flew out of her hand again, blocking Yagami Yoruichi's pursuit.

Just as Yagami Yoruichi was about to knock the sword in her hand away, she suddenly noticed an abnormal flash of light in mid-air.

Upon closer inspection, it was clear that a very thin steel wire was tied to the shuriken that Uchiha Inahashi had thrown!

"Mastering shurikenjutsu?" Yagami Yoruichi guessed what the other person was thinking.

Using steel wire, the shuriken, which had already slipped from the hand, was manipulated a second time, making its trajectory even more unpredictable.

This is one of the signature tactics of the Uchiha clan.

With the powerful nerve reflexes granted by the Sharingan, one can easily calculate the trajectory changes of the shuriken.

Even without awakening the Sharingan, one can master the ability to change the direction of a shuriken two or even three times in mid-air through hard training.

This method becomes completely ineffective against various Gundams and monsters in the later stages of the epic battle between gods.

However, it is still very troublesome in the early stages when the strength is not strong enough.

What appears to be a simple shuriken, however, demonstrates Uchiha Inahisa's exceptional skill in the timing of her strike, as well as the angle and force with which she throws the shuriken.

"As expected of a genius from the Uchiha clan."

Yagami Yoruichi sighed inwardly, stomping heavily on the ground, instantly halting his forward momentum.

If you foolishly rush in when faced with 'the art of wielding a shuriken', you will only fall into the opponent's rhythm.

It would be better to stop the pursuit and change tactics.

My greatest skill has never been taijutsu, but ninjutsu!

The kunai flew out of his hand, and the remaining chakra wind blades severed several steel wires tied to the shuriken.

Yagami Yoruichi didn't even glance at her, and immediately began forming hand seals on the spot.

“This hand seal is not good…” Uchiha Inahashi’s expression changed drastically when he saw the sequence of hand seals formed by Yagami Yoruichi.
