I'm in Naruto, but the system says I'm in One Piece.

Minato Namikaze, his face serious, spoke with a tense expression.

For him, this battle was a good opportunity to test his strength. His opponent was his good friend and the most talented boy in Konoha in the past ten years.

Although he has talent, he knows that there is still a big gap between him and others.

At this moment, Mizuki, Nawaki, and Kushina were standing not far away, watching and occasionally commenting on the probability of who would win.

Rope Tree crossed his arms, striking a mature pose, and asked the two people beside him:

"Who do you think will win this duel?"

"Even though Yu-kun is amazing," Kushina clenched her fists, "I'll still support Minato!"

"Watergate! Go for it!"

Needless to say, as Kushina supported Minato, and as a big fan of Hoshino Yu, he naturally supported the former unconditionally.

"Yu will definitely win, no matter who's in front of her."

"He's fought Orochimaru-sama before!"

......

Hoshino Yu and Namikaze Minato were standing by the pool, forming opposing hand seals.

Seeing Minato looking as if he were facing a formidable enemy, Hoshino Yu was also very gratified.

If we're talking about who in Naruto is more like a ninja, he would definitely choose characters like Sakumo Hatake and Minato Namikaze.

Those who directly clash with each other using ninjutsu, possessing enormous amounts of chakra, such as True Several Thousand Hands, Susanoo, Tailed Beast Transformation, etc., cannot be considered ninjas at all.

A true ninja is one who assassinates, investigates, infiltrates, and silently eliminates and disappears.

Therefore, it can be found that those who made a name for themselves on the battlefield, with very few exceptions, were almost all human bombers.

"Yu, although I know you are very strong, I still hope you won't hold back."

Minato, with a very serious expression, addressed Hoshino Yu with the opposing hand seal.

"I understand, I definitely won't hold back, don't worry about that." Hoshino Yu seemed to have accepted the request.

But how could he possibly unleash his full strength to fight his opponent?

No matter which skill I use now, the opponent can't catch it at all. What if I kill the opponent?

Do you think I'll take care of your wife? Don't be ridiculous.

Hoshino Yu stated that she is not that kind of person, and if she were to look for someone, she would look for someone older.

Large in a physical sense.

After a brief standoff, seeing that Minato refused to make the first move, Hoshino Yu shook his head helplessly. Then, he reached for his ninja tool pouch at his waist with his right hand and swiftly threw several black kunai at Minato.

"They're here!"

Minato frowned slightly, used his Body Flicker Technique to dodge, and at the same time, several shuriken appeared in his hand and were thrown towards Hoshino Yu's location.

shhhhh--

Seeing this, Hoshino Yu calmly dodged away, her heart completely unmoved.

This level of shuriken... is really like playing house.

Before Minato learns the Flying Thunder God Technique, he probably won't even get close to it.

However, even if he learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, it might not pose much of a threat to him.

Just like in the original work, when Minato used the Flying Thunder God Technique to ambush Obito and Madara Uchiha, it was very easy for them to react.

As expected, after exchanging several ninjutsu techniques, Minato was defeated by Hoshino Yuuna's completely invisible speed.

"Yu, you are indeed very strong. I have lost."

Minato, feeling a cold, sharp sensation on his neck, helplessly put down the kunai in his hand.

"Well, you did pretty well. Apart from Jonin and above, almost no one in the whole village can fight me."

Hoshino Yu removed the kunai from Minato's neck and said with a smile.

This wasn't just modesty; in his eyes, Minato's strength was indeed considerable at this moment.

A Chunin cannot defeat him without using their full strength.

As for those hearts that could instantly destroy Kakuzu earlier, it was because of the difference in intelligence and information, and because he was too fast, which prevented the other party from reacting.

Otherwise, given Kakuzu's strength, it would have been impossible for him to take it down so easily.

After Nawaki and the others arrived and exclaimed in admiration, they all wanted to spar with Hoshino Yu.

As a result, everyone was deemed too weak to fight and went off to train together in a huff.

There's no way around it; it's normal for ordinary people not to understand the world of geniuses.

Kakashi was already a Chunin at the age of six, while I am only a Genin. The gap between us is already very obvious.

After the group went to cultivate together, Hoshino Yuya also sat cross-legged on the ground, continuing to sense the natural energy in nature.

Having gained experience from his cultivation in Thunder Gorge, he quickly gathered a small portion of natural energy into his body, slowly transforming his physical form.

Although progress is slow, at least we can see improvement. All we need to do is keep going, and even if it takes another ten or eight years, it shouldn't be a problem.

......

The days repeated themselves in this way for two months.

At this moment, Hoshino Yu and Minato were at Orochimaru's house, listening to him share his ninjutsu experience.

Minato naturally became Orochimaru's second direct disciple. Although the path was somewhat different, these two young geniuses from Konoha were ultimately firmly controlled by the Hokage faction.

Even Nawaki, the heir of the Senju clan, was introduced to Orochimaru by Tsunade beforehand.

However, now that Orochimaru had Hoshino Yu and Namikaze Minato, his standards became extremely high. He didn't take Tsunade's younger brother as a disciple just because he had a good relationship with her.

I just said I'll see after graduation.

"Yu, Minato, your talents are different," Orochimaru said to the two of them after taking a sip of hot tea while sitting at the table. "Therefore, your roles on the battlefield are also different."

"Yu is better suited for offensive operations because of his large chakra reserves, while Minato is better suited for missions such as infiltration, assassination, and stealth."

Upon hearing this, Minato nodded on the surface, but he didn't quite agree with what Minato said.

Yuya Hoshino holds the same view.

Although Minato has mastered several ninjutsu and developed a second chakra nature transformation over the past two months, his chakra reserves are not much compared to Hoshino Yu's.

At the same time, Orochimaru also discovered that he possessed extremely high talent in space-time ninjutsu, and his dynamic vision and reflexes were also ridiculously strong, so he directly divided their roles.

Orochimaru even had Minato try learning the Flying Thunder God Technique. After trying it, the latter found it quite effective and decided to start training in that area.

Hoshino Yu is good for team battles, while Minato is good for solo play.

However, the two of them did not think that way.

Hoshino Yu stated that he is capable of both one-on-one and group battles; it's just a matter of swinging his sword a few more times.

As for Minato, after this period of research, although he couldn't master the Flying Thunder God Technique, he was able to occasionally use it successfully.

However, if you use a ninjutsu afterward, the opponent will likely react and use a kunai, which may not be enough to kill you in one hit.

So Hoshino Yu came up with a solution for him.

Let's try developing some unsealed ninjutsu.
