Konoha's Hextech Ninja

Although his combat ability wasn't the worst among Class A, he was called the 'bottom of the class' because of his poor chakra control and inability to learn even the simplest E-rank ninjutsu.

Well, it's worth mentioning that among the dozens of people in Class A, more than a dozen were known as 'bottom performers', including Might Guy and Obito Uchiha.

In addition, there's the future underdog Naruto Uzumaki.

Does that mean that those who are called "bottom of the class" at the Konoha Ninja Academy are all tough guys?

After a moment of random thoughts, Yagami Yoruichi pulled herself together, walked up to the two of them, and glanced at Matt Ke's injuries.

"It's not serious. Don't move around. Let me treat you."

As Yagami Yoruichi spoke, she used her healing ninjutsu to heal Matt Kai's wounds.

Yoruichi Yagami's medical ninjutsu skills are not very advanced, but Might Guy's injuries are only superficial, so it's not like he needs to go to the hospital for surgery.

Moments later, the wounds on Matt Ke's body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Alright, take some tonics when you get back." Yagami Yoruichi reminded him, "Although medical ninjutsu can speed up wound healing, it ultimately comes at the cost of your body. You need to take some nourishing medicines and food to replenish what you've lost."

"A tonic?" Matt Kee looked troubled.

Yagami Yoruichi noticed Matt Ke's expression and asked in confusion, "Is there a problem?"

Maite said somewhat embarrassedly, "The Nara clan's tonics are too expensive, and my family is rather poor..."

Yoruichi Yagami then remembered that although Matt Ke was not an orphan, his father was just a 'perennial genin'. Coupled with his eccentric personality, he couldn't find any teammates and couldn't take on high-level missions. He could only do the simplest low-level missions such as cleaning up trash and finding lost pets, which earned him very little income.

The two of them probably spend all of Matt Dai's income on training, so where would they get the money to buy extra supplements?

"Speaking of which..."

Yagami Yoruichi suddenly remembered something.

After taking on two bandit-suppression missions from Tsunade, he was no longer short of money.

For Yagami Yoruichi now, the job at Ichiraku Ramen is no longer necessary.

However, because working at Ichiraku Ramen was a great help to Yagami Yoruichi during her early school years, she couldn't just quit her job until the owner of Ichiraku Ramen found a suitable helper.

Does Mitchell's situation seem like a perfect fit to take over?

Although his personality is a bit eccentric, there is no problem with his seriousness in doing things.

As for the trivial matter of waking up early and going to bed late, it's a minor issue given the intensity of Maiteke's training.

Thinking of this, Yagami Yoruichi immediately said, "I do have a part-time job here that would be perfect for you."

After Yoruichi Yagami finished explaining the situation at Ichiraku Ramen, Mitekai didn't immediately agree. Instead, he asked, "Yoruichi-san, what will you do if you give me the job?"

“I don’t need this job anymore; in fact, it would only interfere with my training,” Yagami Yoruichi said with a smile. “Kay, by taking over, you’re actually doing me a favor!”

"In that case, I'll accept!"

Although Matt Ke was a bit oblivious, he wasn't stupid. He knew that Yoruichi Yagami was helping him, and said excitedly, "Yoruichi-san, I will remember your kindness! The youth of helping each other as friends will never be wasted!"

Yagami Yoichi: "..."

Seeing that Matt Kei started saying things that were incomprehensible again, Yagami Yoruichi quickly pulled Yuhi Kurenai aside, afraid that she would be infected by him.

He's clearly a good person.

But this peculiar personality can sometimes be really hard for people to bear.

Uchiha Tekka also came over, not daring to stay near Mitekai, for fear that Mitekai would wipe his tears and snot on him.

"Why are you two fighting? Don't you usually dislike sparring with Kai?" Yagami Yoruichi asked, somewhat puzzled.

Apart from Kurenai Yuhi, who almost never participates in actual combat, Uchiha Tetsuka and Might Guy have the fewest exchanges in this 'training group'.

Because of their drastically different career paths, competing against each other at this stage would not be of much help to either of them.

If Uchiha Tetsuhime were allowed to use ninjutsu, Might Guy would have no chance to get close.

If Uchiha Tekka is not allowed to use ninjutsu, the battle will end in seconds once Might Guy gets close.

Such a battle is meaningless for their respective growth.

"It's all because none of you are here," Uchiha Tetsuka said with a resentful look. "Inahikasa went back to the police force, Kakashi has been training with Minato-senpai lately, and even you come less often now. Besides Guy, who else can I train with?"

Uchiha Inahisa has already graduated and joined the Konoha Police Force, so naturally she doesn't have time to train with Yagami Yoruichi and the others every day.

As for Kakashi Hatake, he was formally accepted as a disciple by Minato Namikaze near the end of summer vacation. He has been studying with Minato recently and hasn't been here for a long time.

As for Yagami Yoruichi herself, she had too many things to do, so she inevitably neglected her regular ninjutsu training to some extent.

If it weren't for the need to regularly accompany Kurenai Yuhi, Yoruichi Yagami might have visited even less often than Kakashi Hatake.

"I've been really busy lately." Yagami Yoruichi explained somewhat embarrassedly, "There's a lot to learn, and I'm a bit overwhelmed right now, so I can only reduce my regular training for the time being."

In terms of martial arts and shuriken, Yoruichi Yagami is not weak, but there is still a gap between her and the top level.

However, Yagami Yoruichi's requirement for throwing shuriken is that as long as they don't hold the team back, they don't need to be as skilled with shuriken as the Uchiha clan.

Physical skills are necessary to learn, but they are not the top priority.

Even now, the standard Five Elements ninjutsu are no longer the most urgent training subject for Yoruichi Yagami.

Yoruichi Yagami's greatest goal is to pass Tsunade's test as soon as possible and become her official disciple.

After all, becoming Tsunade's disciple would bring Yagami Yoruichi many advantages.

Even without considering the long term, in terms of ninjutsu learning alone, one can largely avoid being affected by most of Konoha's rules.

If we can even get Tsunade's permission, we can even try to access the forbidden techniques in the Book of Seals.

“It is indeed a rare opportunity for you to become Tsunade’s apprentice, and you should not miss it.” Uchiha Tetsuka said with an understanding expression, “If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know.”

Upon hearing this, Yagami Yoru glanced at Uchiha Tetsuka and asked, "Did your clan elders teach you this?"

"Yes, several elders have told me to, and also to have Brother Daohuo, get on good terms with you."

Uchiha Tekka shrugged and said, "But it wasn't because of their orders."

The brothers Uchiha Tetsuka and Uchiha Inahisa are very typical Uchiha, with clear-cut love and hate.

If they didn't approve of it themselves, even if there were orders from their clan, they wouldn't have acted so naturally when trying to get close to Yoruichi Yagami.

In fact, after getting to know these two brothers, Yagami Yoruichi has found that most Uchiha clan members are still quite simple-minded.

If you can subdue him, you'll gain a loyal follower.

Of course, this underling might have thoughts of 'rebellion' when he encounters someone who awakens the Sharingan and becomes much stronger.

But all we need to do is beat him into submission one more time.

To some extent, the Uchiha clan were very reliable subordinates.

I don't know why, but the Third Hokage's lineage is so hostile to the Uchiha clan.

Surely it can't be because we're not confident we can control them?

Even Yoruichi Yagami wasn't entirely sure just how strong the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was.

In Konoha's propaganda, he played a huge role in defeating the enemy's Jinchuriki and 'Kage' in the last Shinobi World War.

If this record is true, then an ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan user, whose awakened Mangekyou eye techniques are not particularly strong, would most likely be unable to defeat Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Of course, eye techniques of the level of 'Kamui' or 'Kotoamatsukami' are exceptions.

Alternatively, if one's eye power is so strong that they can activate the third stage of Susanoo, they would also possess terrifying combat power.

However, those with Mangekyou Sharingan below this level are unlikely to be a match for the third 'Kage' of any of the major ninja villages.

Countless thoughts flashed through Yagami Yoruichi's mind as he said to Uchiha Tetsuka, "We don't need to worry about the elders' affairs. Just focus on your training. Your strength improvement has slowed down recently, so you need to work harder."

"You guys are too perverted!" Uchiha Tekka's face darkened.

Let's not even mention Matt Ke, who's at the bottom of the class.

Yagami Yoruichi is a pervert, to say the least.

After receiving guidance from Minato Namikaze, Kakashi Hatake's strength improved by leaps and bounds.

Under the guidance of the Eighth Elder, Uchiha Inahi's strength improved rapidly.

Even Kurenai Yuhi, with her mastery of genjutsu, could easily control Uchiha Tetsuka.

Before he awakened his Sharingan, he probably had no way to deal with Kurenai Yuhi.

In comparison, Uchiha Tetsuka's progress was indeed much slower than that of the others.

But can we blame him?

Isn't it all because other people have someone constantly giving them pointers?

Well, Yoruichi Yagami doesn't count.

We normal geniuses can't compare to a freak like Yoruichi Yagami!

In Uchiha Tekka's heart, he had completely given up the idea of ​​competing with Yagami Yoruichi, and had long since accepted that he could not keep up with Yagami Yoruichi's speed of improvement in strength.

"Keep cultivating, I'll create two shadow clones to accompany you two."

Yagami Yoruichi patted Uchiha Tekka on the shoulder, leaving behind two shadow clones and sending out another batch of shadow clones to practice ninjutsu in the distance. The main body followed Yuhi Kurenai to the side to accompany her in her routine taijutsu and genjutsu training.

Chapter 102 Living with Tsunade?

The capital of the Land of Fire.

Daming Mansion.

Tsunade walked into a meeting room and saw her two companions sitting inside, showing no surprise whatsoever.

"Orochimaru, Jiraiya."

Tsunade remained calm and asked bluntly, "Is there something you can't say in Konoha? Why did you have to come here?"

She didn't come to Daming Prefecture to see the Daming family at all.

Instead, he received a message from Jiraiya and secretly met with his two old classmates.

The only reason for meeting here is that we must avoid being seen by Konoha.

"Orochimaru has something to tell you."

Jiraiya glanced at Orochimaru with a complicated expression.

"Danzo wants to cooperate with me to restart the Wood Release experiment."

Orochimaru didn't hide anything and said directly, "But I think the old man is behind this."

"Restarting the Wood Release experiment?!"

Tsunade's eyebrows shot up sharply, revealing his anger.

Previously, Konoha coveted the power of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and planned to recreate the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai through human experimentation.

Many members of the Senju clan even volunteered to be test subjects, only to die tragically during the experiments.

Ultimately, due to the excessive number of casualties and the complete lack of success in the experiment, it was forced to be halted and declared never to be restarted.

But how long has it been?

So, we have to restart the Wood Release experiment again?

And it was led by that guy Danzo Shimura.

As for Orochimaru's claim that the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was behind it all, Tsunade had no doubt about it.

Such a big matter would not have been undertaken by Danzo Shimura at this critical juncture without Hiruzen Sarutobi's tacit approval.

After all, he had just been caught red-handed and his roots had been dismantled.

"What does the old man want to do?!"

Gang slammed his hand on the table.

"As a fellow student, I'll give you some news as a bonus." Orochimaru licked his lips with his long tongue and said in a strange tone, "Danzo believes that your student may have awakened a physique similar to the First Hokage. Using him as a test subject, the Wood Release experiment is very likely to succeed."

Boom!

Tsunade's chakra exploded from her fist, instantly shattering the table into pieces.

The two people opposite remained completely still, simply releasing their chakra to block the high-speed wood fragments.

"Tsunade, you're too excited," Jiraiya reminded her. "It's precisely at times like these that you need to stay calm!"
