Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 11 It turns out that Kyohiko is the real powerhouse!

"Are you guys taking on tasks too? If it's chopping wood or carrying water, how about we have a competition to see who finishes first? The loser has to run two hundred extra laps this afternoon!"

Kaixin ran over happily.

Perhaps because of his previous attempt to "take advantage" of others, Might Guy now always brings Kyohiko into his duels...

After learning that they had been frantically completing tasks recently, Kai started this bizarre bet.

Kakashi remained expressionless.

He has long been used to it.

Among the two teams, the most obvious expressions were those of Kurenai Yuhi, Ebisu, and Genma Shiranui, who were not directly involved. They all covered their faces, their expressions full of embarrassment and unbearable to look at.

Jingyan smiled faintly, "Not today."

Why?

Kai was slightly taken aback.

Kakashi coldly replied, "We're leaving the village on a C-rank mission, and we might not be back today."

"ha?"

Matt Kai and the other two stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

Leaving the village?

impossible!

Even though everyone was a newly graduated genin, and the opposing team had Kakashi, a chunin, and their jonin leader was Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin...

Ok!

Upon comparison, it seems the other side does indeed have a valid reason for leaving the village.

Genma Shiranui and Ebisu pursed their lips, realizing for the first time the gap between the Jonin leading the team and the strength of the team.

No matter where you are, one rule is universally true—

The problem is not scarcity, but inequality.

The two of them felt uneasy.

but.

Kai's eyes lit up.

"My eternal friend and rival, no wonder you guys are grinding D-rank missions like crazy, that must be why the village allows you to take on C-rank missions, right?"

"Perhaps, but strength is also a factor, after all, Kakashi is a Chunin."

Jingyan shrugged.

After a brief silence, Matt Kai rallied and said, "I'll remember your words. Our team will be here soon!"

Aim high but achieve the middle!

This is the principle that Kyohiko taught him.

Now, he has a new goal—

Their team must be the second team in their class qualified to take on C-level missions!

Genma Shiranui and Ebisu paused for a moment, then nodded emphatically: "You are indeed very strong, but we won't fall too far behind!"

Everyone has gone through the assessment.

Although we don't know what Jiraiya's test was, it was definitely not simple. The fact that Kyohiko and Kurenai were able to complete the test together with Kakashi shows that their overall strength is extraordinary.

"I've always believed!"

Jingyan nodded.

Shortly after, a Jonin emerged from the room.

"let's go."

"Yes, teacher."

Kai and his companions immediately agreed and then walked along the street toward the suburbs.

On the road.

"Don't take them too seriously, just focus on doing your own thing."

Jonin Mitsui Takashi said.

Ebisu couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, is there a big gap between us and them?"

"Although they have Kakashi, the other two should be about the same level as us, right?"

Genma Shiranui also looked suspicious.

Mitsui Takashi shook his head.

He looked at the three of them, remained silent for a moment, and finally sighed, "I didn't mean to discourage you, but as far as I know, the one who performed best in Jiraiya-sama's test was not Kakashi, but Yoshimine Kyohiko."

"What?"

Apart from Matt Kay, the other two were completely petrified, utterly disbelieving.

And Might Guy...

"Awooo! I knew it! Jingyan is so smart, and he's strong when we train together, definitely not weak! My blood is boiling, I must surpass them!"

Kai has gone mad.

Ebisu's true feelings.

but.

He still couldn't believe it—

If Kakashi played the biggest role in the assessment, they wouldn't be too surprised. At most, they would just feel envious that their team had a top genius like Kakashi, which made the gap between them so huge.

can.

Yoshimine Kyohiko was a graduate of the same year, and as far as they knew, he wasn't known as a genius at the Ninja Academy; in their eyes, he was a ninja who started from the same point.

Now, Mitsui Takashi tells them...

That's not the case at all. The other person was actually the best performer among Jiraiya's three-person team!

Is he a genius too?

Genma Shiranui and Ebisu found it hard to believe.

Mitsui Ryu sighed.

"You may find it hard to accept, but it's the truth..."

This matter was so astonishing that many people from powerful families already knew about it through various channels, while these commoner ninjas were completely unaware of it.

"It's not hard to accept. I know how hard Kyohiko, Kakashi, and the others have worked!"

Matt Kai turned his head, unusually serious, and said, "The sweat we shed is the glory of youth. Come on, everyone, cheer up! We should take them as role models, not be discouraged by them!"

"Only today do I think what you said makes some sense, but when did you become so eloquent?"

The other two muttered to themselves.

Kai chuckled, "Of course, those are all things Jingyan said!"

Then, he flashed his bright white teeth.

"How about we run 200 laps together this afternoon? If we can't finish, we'll run 100 laps handstands!"

"..."

This is just right!

Shiranui Genma and Ebisu had bitter tastes in their noodles.

……

"Kyohiko, how's your Water Release ninjutsu training going?"

"There has been some progress. I'm thinking about whether it's possible to compress the water column, turning the turbulent water into a straight line, which should make it more powerful."

Kyohiko replied.

Kurenai Yuhi didn't understand much about ninjutsu training, so she didn't change much.

but--

Jiraiya looked dazed and shocked upon hearing this.

This shocked the Sannin so much...

Kakashi, curious, asked, "Sensei, what's wrong?"

"You may not know this, but the Second Hokage has already accomplished what Kyohiko called 'compressing' water jets. His A-rank Water Severing Wave is exactly the same as the technique you mentioned."

Jiraiya sighed and revealed the ninjutsu he knew.

Water breaks the waves.

The powerful Water Release ninjutsu invented by the Second Hokage is so strong that even the hardest things are as soft as tofu in front of it.

The state that Kyohiko described...

It's almost exactly the same as the broken waves of water.

Jing Yanqiang feigned surprise and bewilderment.

Jiraiya pondered for a moment, then said, "Kyohiko, show me how to unleash Water Chaos."

"yes!"

Jingyan agreed and quickly formed a hand seal.

The next instant, water gushed out, like a small waterfall rolling endlessly.

It truly is complete mastery!

He mastered the technique of conserving chakra without a teacher and has deeply grasped the essence of the Water Chaos Technique.

Could it be that the Senju clan's talent has been revived in this child?

Jiraiya was speechless.

Kakashi blinked, even more shocked than Jiraiya.

He vaguely remembered that just a few days ago, Kyohiko didn't have such skillful technique.

The progress is too fast!

Although he seemed to be in a similar situation back then, Jingyan was not well-known before.

turn out to be--

From another perspective, is this how it feels?

Kakashi was stunned.

"Not bad, it seems you've been practicing a lot lately. However, it's too early for you to practice the nature changes of compression. Even if you master it, you won't be able to use it."

Jiraiya said solemnly.

Compression and gathering, whether forging or releasing, require a large amount of chakra.

"Yes."

Kyohiko did not refute.

He never intended to immediately cultivate the "compression" property transformation.

Then, Jiraiya took out two pairs of leg wraps and threw them to Kakashi and Kyohiko.

puff!

The two almost fell over.

Good weight!

"These are weighted leg wraps, one pair for each of you."

Jiraiya said, "Kurenai, you don't need it for now, but I'll reduce your rest time on the way to let you train continuously as much as possible. I have plenty of soldier rations."

"yes!"

"Alright, let's go, Tanabata Street!"
