Chapter 42 Sparring

"Yosuke, I already gave you a pretty clear hint, why are you pretending not to understand at this crucial moment?"

Tsunade said with dissatisfaction. Just now, she was almost able to ask Kakashi to give Shirakumo Yosuke more guidance in the future, but she was still fooled by this brat pretending to be stupid.

While she was forbidden from teaching Hakuun Yosuke ninjutsu, other ninjas were not. Tsunade didn't believe that Hiruzen Sarutobi would be so shameless as to issue orders to all ninjas, so Hakuun Yosuke could "take matters into his own hands" and ask other ninjas for guidance.

Kakashi wouldn't refuse out of respect for her status as one of the Legendary Sannin.

"I'll ask Kakashi for ninjutsu lessons sometime, you idiot. Kakashi is even better than me when it comes to ninjutsu."

Tsunade picked up a piece of grilled fish with her chopsticks and said, "This is not modesty. She mainly focuses on medical ninjutsu and taijutsu. Although she knows a lot about ninjutsu and genjutsu, she is still a bit inferior to those who specialize in one. Moreover, Kakashi is known as a ninja who has copied a thousand ninjutsu."

Tsunade only did this because Kakashi was there to ask her for advice; she doesn't see Kakashi at other times.

"Let's just forget about it, Tsunade-sensei. Kakashi-san clearly didn't want to, so let's not make things difficult for him."

Shirokumo Yosuke shook his head and said that ninjutsu teachers didn't appeal to him much. If it were a teacher specializing in genjutsu, sealing techniques, or curse seals, he might shamelessly go up and ask for their guidance.

"He's probably like you, Tsunade-sensei, in a bit of a predicament, so it's best not to force him into it."

"How did you know? Never mind, since you don't want to, I'll think of another way."

As Tsunade spoke, she recalled Kakashi's reaction. He seemed somewhat resistant after she finished speaking. This kid seems to be quite accurate in understanding people's hearts, so she decided not to dwell on the matter for the time being.

At this moment, Shizune suddenly spoke up: "Yosuke, if you want to learn illusion magic, I can ask Kurenai Yuhi, whom I met on my way back. She has been good at illusion magic since she was a child."

At the time, everyone else in the ninja academy was trying to learn a ninjutsu technique, but Kurenai Yuhi mastered genjutsu.

"Illusion?"

Bai Yunyang thought for a moment. He was currently learning medical ninjutsu and Sage Mode. As for genjutsu, Orochimaru had given him one, so he could give it a try. At least it could clear his name of the 'genjutsu' Orochimaru had given him.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Shizune-senpai. I'm quite interested in illusion magic."

"Leave it to me. Yuhi Hong should be in the village. I'll go find her and ask her tomorrow."

After dinner, Shiraku Yosuke continued his training. After several days of training, he made great progress in his medical ninjutsu and Shikkotsu Forest Sage Mode.

The patterns on the curse mark are no longer the irregular fire cloud patterns, but are gradually developing into the regular red sage pattern, although the transformation is not yet complete.

However, Shiraku Yosuke sensed it with his special ability and realized that once he digested the chakra belonging to Orochimaru within the cursed seal, he would be able to completely control it.

To put it bluntly, the cursed seal is just a fixed Sage Mode. Once you successfully adapt to it, you can control the condensation of Sage Chakra. This is nothing to Hakuun Yosuke.

------------

The following morning, Shirakumo Yosuke prepared his lunchbox and took the soldier's rations that Tsunade had given him before heading to the Ninja Academy.

When they arrived at the ninja academy gate, Shirakumo Yosuke was surprised to find that in addition to Yamanaka Ino, there were two more people.

However, Shiraku Yosuke didn't think too much about it and stepped forward to greet them, saying, "Good morning, Ino-kun, Haruno-kun, and Naruto-kun."

Naruto Uzumaki chuckled and patted Yosuke Shirakumo on the shoulder, saying, "You're being too formal, Yosuke. Just call me Naruto. Aren't we friends?"

Huh? You're already friends?

Bai Yun Youjie was puzzled. He had only exchanged less than ten words with Uzumaki Naruto, but his expression remained unchanged.

Sakura Haruno stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Yosuke-kun, just call me Sakura." When facing anyone other than Naruto, Sakura Haruno is just a normal little girl.

"I understand, Sakura."

After saying that, Shiraku Yosuke glanced at Yamanaka Ino, who lowered her head shyly and said, "Sorry, Yosuke-kun, Sakura wanted to go too after hearing the news yesterday. As for Naruto, hmph, he's been following us ever since he saw us today!"

Naruto, clutching his head, said, "Don't say that, Ino. I'm training hard too. I'm going to teach that arrogant Sasuke a lesson today."

Upon hearing Naruto's words, Sakura Haruno immediately exclaimed anxiously, "Idiot Naruto, you're no match for Sasuke-kun!"

"Never mind, let's set off first. Sasuke should be waiting."

Shirokumo Yosuke waved his hand and said that Yamanaka Ino then led the way towards Training Ground No. 35.

This training ground is located next to the Uchiha clan's territory. It was used by many people a couple of years ago, but now, because it's too remote, only Uchiha Sasuke comes here occasionally.

When Yosuke Shirakumo and his group arrived at Training Ground 35, Sasuke Uchiha was already there. Although he was somewhat surprised to see Sakura Haruno, Naruto Uzumaki, and the others, Sasuke immediately focused his attention on Yosuke Shirakumo.

"Let's spar again."

Uchiha Sasuke spoke directly, saying that he was a little unwilling after losing to Hakuun Yosuke last time. After returning, he thought about it repeatedly. Although he was at a disadvantage in the initial taijutsu sparring, after using his ninjutsu, it was purely because he lost his focus that Hakuun Yosuke found an opportunity.

Before Yosuke could even speak after Sasuke finished speaking, Naruto Uzumaki jumped out, pointed at Sasuke, and said, "You arrogant Sasuke, I'll spar with you."

"Get out of the way, you loser!"

"What did you say?!"

Enraged by a single sentence, Naruto rolled up his sleeves and prepared to charge, but before he could even get close, Sakura punched him on the head. Sakura then grabbed his ear and yelled, "Idiot Naruto, don't bother Sasuke-kun!"

After Naruto Uzumaki was dragged away, Sasuke Uchiha also turned his gaze to Yosuke Shirakumo.

"Alright then, please guide me, Sasuke."

After putting his things away, Shiraku Yosuke went to the middle of the training ground and stood opposite Uchiha Sasuke.

Two seconds later, Uchiha Sasuke made his move, throwing out several shuriken to gain the upper hand before rushing towards Shirokumo Yosuke.

Even rougher than last time.

Yosuke Shiraku immediately saw through Sasuke Uchiha's intentions; facing him was much less stressful than facing Shizune.

Once they got close, every time Uchiha Sasuke made a move, Hakuun Yosuke would anticipate his attack and block it, followed by a counterattack with punches and kicks. This frustrating feeling made Uchiha Sasuke suffer greatly.

A minute later, Shiraku Yosuke grabbed Sasuke's wrist as he was about to form hand seals, kicked him to the ground, and simultaneously held a kunai to his neck.

The outcome is decided!

Then, Shirokumo Yosuke moved the kunai aside and helped Uchiha Sasuke up.

"Hahaha, arrogant Sasuke, you got beaten up so badly by Yosuke."

When Naruto saw this, he burst out laughing. He couldn't help but be happy to see Sasuke get his comeuppance. If he were the one to defeat Sasuke, he would be so happy that he wouldn't be able to sleep for two days.
