Konoha's Hextech Ninja

Both Kurenai Yuhi and Rin Nohara accepted the offer seriously.

Nohara Rin cherished the opportunity to join this team and was unwilling to slack off at all.

Even Kurenai Yuhi didn't take advantage of Yoruichi Yagami's affection for her and act recklessly. Instead, she was even more strict with herself and tried her best not to hold Yoruichi Yagami back.

This also relieved Yoruichi Yagami of a lot of trouble.

"We still have some time this afternoon. Let's go hand in our missions first, and then we'll go train together." Yagami Yoruichi waved his hand and led the two girls toward the mission distribution center.

After successfully submitting the task voucher, you can receive your commission.

Yagami Yoruichi counted out the money and then handed out the portions to Kurenai Yuhi and Rin Nohara.

As for Tsunade's 'commission from the team leader', since the teacher did nothing and would lose the money to the casino anyway, Yagami Yoruichi didn't hesitate to 'confiscate' it!

Just as she was about to leave, a voice rang out, calling out to Yagami Yoruichi.

"Yoruichi-kun, did you just finish your mission?"

Chapter 131 Chunin, Choosing Hextech Again

"Previous Shuo Mao".

Yagami Yoruichi turned around and saw Hatake Sakumo, and quickly bowed.

Sakumo Hatake greeted Yoruichi Yagami and said with a smile, "Thank you for Kakashi's matter."

He was referring to Yagami Yoruichi reminding Hatake Kakashi to team up with Aburame Shimi.

The number of available Jonin in Konoha is limited. If Yoruichi Yagami hadn't reminded Kakashi Hatake that he wouldn't have had a teammate like Shimi Aburame, he might not have been assigned a Jonin-level instructor.

The ninja academy students who graduated early this time comprised a total of twenty teams from all grades, but including the teams led by Yoruichi Yagami and Kakashi Hatake, only three teams had Jonin instructors leading them.

—The other team is the squad that Sarutobi Asuma belongs to.

The son of the Hokage naturally receives different treatment than ordinary people.

"I just happened to hear about this." Yagami Yoruichi knew that Hatake Sakumo already knew about this, so she didn't say anything more.

You should let others know what you've done for them, but there's no need to brag about it excessively.

Given Sakumo Hatake's character, he would naturally remember the favor that Yoruichi Yagami had done for Kakashi Hatake.

Yagami Yoruichi changed the subject, saying, "Sakumo-senpai, did you just finish a mission and come back?"

"Yes, this mission is a bit tricky. Even the senior swordsman was injured."

Sakumo Hatake didn't go into the details of the mission, vaguely mentioning it and saying, "I'll be taking a break for a while. If there's anything I can do to help, Yoruichi-kun, please don't hesitate to ask."

"I will." Yagami Yoru nodded, chatted with Hatake Sakumo for a few more minutes, and then said goodbye and left.

On her way out, Yagami Yoruichi kept thinking about her next plan.

Judging from the recent situation, Nohara Rin's strength has not improved very quickly, but her talent in medical ninjutsu is quite high, and she is not far from mastering her first medical ninjutsu.

By summer at the latest, she will have mastered most of the relatively basic medical ninjutsu, which will barely qualify her as a qualified medical ninja.

Yoruichi Yagami was not surprised by this.

In the original work, Rin Nohara performed an eye transplant on Kakashi Hatake.

Yoruichi Yagami herself was a medical ninja, so she knew how difficult this surgery was.

Now, with the influence of Yoruichi Yagami, Rin Nohara has come into contact with medical ninjutsu earlier, and her future potential will only be higher.

However, in terms of combat ability, Nohara Rin's talent is only average.

Without any major opportunities, his maximum strength is only that of an ordinary Chunin.

This is also the ceiling for most ordinary ninjas.

Without special talent or extraordinary circumstances, one might remain a genin for life, or barely manage to rise to chunin.

"However, my weakness is actually a good thing for me. Lowering the team's overall rating means I won't have to take on any overly difficult or dangerous missions. Although the teacher said that I can decide which missions to take, I can't overestimate the limits of Konoha's higher-ups."

Yagami Yoruichi muttered to himself as he led Kurenai Yuhi and Rin Nohara to the training grounds to continue their daily routine of training.

In the morning, we received a mission and developed teamwork through simple D-level tasks.

In the afternoon, they would train together to improve their skills and combat experience.

In the evening, they went home and studied all the knowledge that might be useful when they went out to carry out missions in the future.

After graduating from the Ninja Academy, the life of Yoruichi Yagami's squad was as regular as a precise machine.

In the blink of an eye, more than two months have passed.

In the Hokage's office, Yagami Yoruichi received the vest representing a Chunin from the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

In Konoha at this time, the Chunin Exams are held twice a year, in late winter and late summer, which conveniently avoids the busiest period of the year.

The difficulty of the exam was far less than that of the Konoha 12 in the original work, and it was not held in conjunction with other ninja villages.

Basically, as long as a genin has a bit of combat experience and isn't too weak in theory, they can pass the exam to become a chunin.

After all, the losses in the Second Shinobi World War were too great, and Konoha urgently needed to promote a large number of ninjas to fill the vacancies.

Regardless of their actual strength, they should first raise their 'rank'. When taking on missions, sending a few Chunin to complete the task sounds much better than sending a team of Genin, and it is also easier for employers to accept it.

As for ninjas who are not strong enough and die in the mission, that's just their bad luck.

For ninja villages, lower-level ninjas are cannon fodder and expendable resources, not 'comrades'.

The process of the exam is self-explanatory; Yagami Yoruichi's strength has already reached the Kage level, making the Chunin Exams a piece of cake for her.

Hiruzen Sarutobi knew a thing or two about Yoruichi Yagami's strength; he was just going through the motions.

Yoruichi Yagami's main body didn't even go; she only sent a shadow clone, who easily passed the exam and became a Chunin.

After receiving the vest and headband representing my Chunin identity, the system popped up on time.

[Ding! Your rank has been upgraded to: Konoha Chunin. Please select your Hextech Enhancement.]

The Hextech tier this time is: Gold.

[Overflow: Your chakra consumption is doubled. The healing, shielding, and damage effects of your skills are increased, based on your maximum chakra.]

[Qualitative Leap - Prismatic Tier: Gain 1 random Prismatic Tier Enhancement Rune.]

[Shrink Engine: Gain Ability Haste and Movement Speed ​​when participating in enemy hero kills. Lose 65% of stacks upon death.]

All three Hextech are pretty good.

[Overflow] This Hextech ability can greatly increase Yoruichi Yagami's damage. Although it has the negative effect of doubling chakra consumption, with Yoruichi Yagami's chakra reserves, this side effect can be basically ignored.

Instead, it uses a system based on 'Chakra Limit' to enhance the attack, healing, and shield effects of all skills, with a higher chakra limit resulting in a greater amplification rate.

In addition, [Overflow] and [From the Heart to the Sphere] can form the [Archmage] bond, which has the effect of randomly reducing the remaining cooldown time of another skill when casting any skill.

Yoruichi Yagami's current ninjutsu doesn't have a 'cooldown time', but with the addition of more hero templates and hero skills, the [Archmage] bond will become much more powerful.

Some specific skill combinations can even achieve a near-zero cooldown effect.

If you choose this Hextech, Yoruichi Yagami's offensive capabilities will be immediately and significantly enhanced. Furthermore, she will receive another boost in the future after acquiring more hero templates and hero skills.

As for the [Prismatic Hex], it's a gambler's Hex, where you randomly obtain a Prismatic Hex.

If you manage to obtain a Hextech item like the Goliath Giant, the Mad Scientist, or the Quest - Vogt's Wizard Hat, your attribute growth rate and growth cap will increase significantly.

At the same time, the number of Prism-grade attribute forgers required for 'Infinite Growth' will be greatly reduced, which simply means saving tens of thousands of gold coins.

Even randomly acquiring Hextech items like the Jeweled Gauntlets or the Giant Slayer can significantly boost one's strength.

But if you encounter a "devil on your shoulder," then you're doomed.

This is a Hextech weapon that permanently deducts a percentage of health, regardless of whether you are in combat.

Although attacking enemies can quickly restore health, there must be a certain number of enemies for Yoruichi Yagami to attack.

After a slight hesitation, Yoruichi Yagami abandoned the idea of ​​'taking a gamble' and continued to look at the third Hextech.

The "Shrink Engine" attribute gave Yoruichi Yagami some reservations.

Having activated the system for so long, Yagami Yoru had already conducted various tests and determined the corresponding directions of most of the attributes in the game in reality.

For example, 'Skill Speed' in the game reduces the cooldown time of skills.

However, in reality, they correspond to 'chakra refining speed' and 'chakra urination speed'.

In other words, the higher the 'Skill Speed' attribute, the faster you can refine chakra and cast ninjutsu.

This attribute is extremely helpful to any ninja.

However, there are a few attributes that even Yoruichi Yagami is still unsure of what makes them special.

One of these is 'movement speed'.

If it were simply about running as fast as in the game, it wouldn't be useless, but its value would obviously not be as high as in the game.

After all, increasing the 'Constitution' attribute also has the effect of increasing movement speed.

However, the Shrink Engine and the Soul Devouring Hextech that Yoruichi Yagami already owns are Hextech items under the tether of the Digimon.

Two layers of the [Crouching Horn] bond will increase the stacking speed by an additional 50%, and this applies to all Hextech synergies under all activated [Crouching Horn] bonds.

The stacking speed of both [Shrink Engine] and [Devour Soul] is increased by 50%, which is a significant increase.

Killing two enemy ninjas grants the same boost as killing three.

If you can select more Hextech items such as [Extraordinary Evil Power] or [Infinite Cycle] to increase the number of [Crippled Dragon] bonds, the effect will be further enhanced.

Yoruichi Yagami hesitated between [Overflow] and [Shrink Engine], unable to make a decision for a long time.

"[Overflow] has the greatest impact on my strength, but its growth potential is much lower than that of [Shrink Engine]."

"I have the Rui Tian Emperor template, which allows my spell power and chakra to increase infinitely. I don't have to worry about insufficient attack power at all. In the later stages, the benefits brought by [Overflow] are negligible."

"The 'Skill Speed' of the [Shrink Engine] is related to how fast I can cast ninjutsu."

"And the movement speed... if it's extremely fast, even if reality and the game are different, it's still incredibly abnormal, like Minato Namikaze, that mechanical monster."

"The only drawback is that the [Shrink Engine] needs to be layered gradually. It only becomes useful when the number of layers is stacked up, and killing 'minion' units doesn't count; it must be a 'hero' to work. However, as the number of layers increases, it becomes stronger and stronger."

After much deliberation, Yoruichi Yagami made her choice: "I choose [Shrink the Engine]!"

Chapter 132 Yagami Yoruichi: It's time to let them see blood.

"Congratulations, Yoruichi-kun!"

"Congratulations to Yoruichi on your promotion to Chunin!"

At the restaurant, Kurenai Yuhi and Rin Nohara happily presented gifts to celebrate Yoruichi Yagami's birthday.

Although Yagami Yoruichi didn't think that being promoted to Chunin was anything to celebrate, he wasn't disappointed. He accepted the gifts from the two girls and said while unwrapping them, "After a while, when you've accumulated enough missions, you can apply for the Chunin Exams. Although being promoted to Chunin won't increase your strength, the village's cut of mission fees will decrease, so you'll get more money."

This is also the fundamental reason why so many ninjas tirelessly pursue promotions.

Although it's only a few percent reduction in commission, it adds up to a considerable amount over time.

Genin, Chunin, Special Jonin, Jonin.

The percentage the village takes from the mission rewards varies for each level.

Moreover, many higher-paying missions are not available to those with the required rank, so they are simply not qualified to take them.

"Yoruichi-kun is a Chunin now, can we start taking on C-rank missions?" Kurenai asked impatiently. "I'm getting tired of doing missions like catching cats and dogs all the time. This is completely different from what I imagined a ninja to be!"

Like most teenagers, Kurenai Yuhi had very limited understanding of the cruelty of the ninja world, and only thought that completing high-level missions was 'cool' and something to brag about.

During the mission, you will engage and defeat ninjas from an enemy village, securing substantial profits for your village. Upon returning, you will enjoy a life of luxury and satisfaction.

Just imagining that scene would excite countless young men and women of that age.

Nohara Rin also showed a hint of interest, but not for the sake of showing off, but because the rewards for higher-level missions were greater.

Her family was of modest means, and she became a ninja to earn more money to supplement her family's income.

If she had the chance to complete a high-level mission, she would naturally want to earn more rewards.

"You know, C-rank missions have a very high combat risk. Although the chance of encountering ninjas is not high, it is possible that the mission will be upgraded to B-rank or even A-rank if you are lucky enough to get the mission."

Yagami Yoruichi stretched out her finger and tapped Kurenai Yuhi on the forehead.

"Ouch!" Kurenai rubbed her forehead, looking at Yoruichi with a pitiful expression, and said, "I just didn't want to hold you back! Yoruichi-kun is so amazing, it's such a waste of his talent to spend all his time doing these D-rank missions with us!"
