Konoha: Intentionally losing to Hinata at the start

Yu Ming walked up to Kakashi and said with a smile, "Kakashi-sensei, your hobby hasn't changed at all."

Yu Ming smiled as he looked at the small book in Kakashi's hand.

Kakashi was a little embarrassed, but he subtly put away the small book in his hand and smiled, "I want to know how well you've mastered the Fireball Jutsu this past week."

Without wasting any words, Yu Ming walked to the edge of the pool and quickly formed hand seals, unleashing "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique".

"Boom!"

"Tch~".

A giant fireball, eight meters in size, was instantly ejected dozens of meters away.

It crashed violently against the waterfall.

A large amount of water vapor filled the surroundings, and the flames were extinguished by the waterfall's flow for a full five seconds.

Its power is even greater than when Kakashi demonstrated it before.

Yu Ming smiled and looked at Kakashi, saying, "Kakashi-sensei, how is it?"

Kakashi remained calm, though he was shocked inside. He said, "Not bad, it shows you haven't wasted this time."

"Today I'm going to teach you a water-style ninjutsu."

Yu Ming nodded. He had taught Yu Ming Fire Release ninjutsu before, and now he was teaching Yu Ming Water Release ninjutsu.

Yu Ming still liked it quite a bit.

Kakashi began explaining the basics of Water Release ninjutsu again, without getting tired of it.

As before, Yu Ming listened very attentively to Kakashi's dry and tedious theoretical knowledge.

What might be boring to others is invaluable knowledge to Yu Ming.

After listening, Kakashi smiled and said, "Alright, that's the basic knowledge of Water Release: Water Chaos Wave. It also includes some basic knowledge of Water Release ninjutsu. When you go back, in addition to practicing this ninjutsu, you should also understand the knowledge of those ninjutsu. It will be very beneficial to you."

Yu Ming nodded.

Kakashi continued, "Now I'll demonstrate to you how to release Water Release: Water Chaos Wave."

Yu Ming looked at Kakashi very seriously.

Kakashi began forming hand seals, but this time his speed returned to his usual level.

"Water Escape: Water Chaos".

"Pfft~".

A waterfall-like stream of water shot forward for dozens of meters, raising the water level by about one meter when it fell into the pool.

Yu Ming laughed and said, "If used properly, this ninjutsu can be used to extinguish the Great Fireball Technique."

"Both of these ninjutsu are C-rank ninjutsu, one fire and one water. It feels like they were two ninjutsu specifically developed to counter each other."

Kakashi smiled. "That's true. However, under normal circumstances, the power of Water Release: Water Chaos Wave cannot negate the Great Fireball Technique, especially the Great Fireball Technique released by Uchiha clan ninjas."

Yu Ming laughed and said, "That's because the person who released it wasn't good enough. In my opinion, if the person who used Water Release: Water Chaos Wave was even slightly stronger, they could have used this Water Release ninjutsu to counter the Great Fireball Technique."

Kakashi smiled and said, "Oh, I'm quite confident."

Yu Ming thought for a moment, then, without answering Kakashi's question, rapidly formed hand seals.

It was incredibly fast, because you could only see afterimages.

"Your hand seal speed is even comparable to my fastest speed."

"How did you cultivate?"

Yu Ming did not answer. After completing the hand seals, his gaze narrowed slightly, and his chakra surged out towards his mouth.

"Water Escape: Water Chaos".

"Boom!"

A jet of water with even higher pressure than Kakashi's Water Release: Water Chaos Wave shot out from in front of Yu Ming's mouth.

The powerful, high-pressure water jet struck the waterfall in the blink of an eye.

It pierced through the waterfall's rushing water in an instant, even carving a huge crater several meters wide into the rocks behind the waterfall.

Kakashi's lips twitched slightly. "Is that Water Release: Water Disruption Wave?!"

Chapter 12

Kakashi looked at Yu Ming's ninjutsu and felt that it was completely different from the Water Release: Water Chaos Wave that he had taught Yu Ming.

Yu Ming nodded. "I released it according to your instructions. What's wrong?"

Yu Ming naturally knew the difference between the Water Release: Water Chaos Wave he released and the one released by Kakashi.

Kakashi said helplessly, "Your Water Release: Water Chaos Wave is almost turning into Water Severing Wave. Its power is not at the level of C-rank ninjutsu at all. It has even reached B-rank, and may even have reached A-rank power."

"I even doubt whether this ninjutsu can still be called Water Release: Water Chaos Wave."

Yu Ming smiled slightly and said, "No matter what it's called, this ninjutsu can definitely counter the Great Fireball Technique, right?"

Kakashi recalled what Yu Ming had said earlier and smiled wryly, "So you were already confident all along. That's right, the power of the Water Release: Water Chaos Wave you just released could indeed suppress the Great Fireball Technique you just released."

Yu Ming smiled and said, "That's good. Kakashi-sensei, is today's ninjutsu training over?"

Yu Ming felt it was time to end it.

Kakashi shook his head. "Your learning progress has indeed surprised me. I plan to teach you two more ninjutsu, one lightning release and one earth release."

Yu Ming never expected that Kakashi would teach him three ninjutsu today, and that they would be Earth Release and Lightning Release.

If Yu Ming were to learn Earth Release and Lightning Release ninjutsu, he would have already mastered ninjutsu using all four chakra natures.

For him, the improvement in strength is quite significant.

So Yu Ming smiled and said, "Today is a bit of an unexpected day."

Kakashi looked at Yu Ming and said with a smile, "It's because your learning progress is too fast. I even suspect that you used your Sharingan to copy the ninjutsu I taught you."

Yu Ming sighed, "I would like a pair of Sharingan eyes."

Kakashi looked at Yu Ming's amazed expression. At this moment, Yu Ming was only six years old, yet he spoke such mature words, and he was somewhat at a loss for words.

"The Sharingan is the bloodline limit of the Uchiha clan, so it's impossible to give it to you. Moreover, non-Uchiha ninjas would face a great burden if they used the Sharingan."

Yu Ming looked at Kakashi, and Kakashi knew that Yu Ming wanted to ask him about his Sharingan.

He thought for a moment and said, "This Sharingan was entrusted to me by a former comrade-in-arms before he died."

"He is a ninja from the Uchiha clan, and also one of my best companions."

Speaking of Obito Uchiha, Kakashi felt very sad, as he felt he had not fulfilled his trust in Obito.

He personally killed Nohara Rin.

This was the most painful thing in his life.

Yu Ming sensed Kakashi's low spirits and said with a smile, "I was just kidding. Whatever it is, what belongs to you is the best. Kakashi-sensei, hurry up and teach me ninjutsu."

Kakashi was about to tell Yu Ming about Obito Uchiha when Yu Ming interrupted him.

He said somewhat helplessly, "Alright, before I teach you Earth Release ninjutsu, I'll explain the basics of Earth Release ninjutsu to you first."

Yu Ming nodded and listened attentively.

In about half an hour, Kakashi finished explaining the basic theory, and Yu Ming also benefited greatly.

He then said, "The ninjutsu I'm going to teach you is called Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall Technique."

"It is a defensive Earth Release ninjutsu."

"However, this ninjutsu is quite difficult, it's only B-rank."

Yu Ming's eyes lit up. "A B-rank ninjutsu? It must be very powerful."

Yu Ming was naturally aware of the defensive capabilities of Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall.

It's really good.

It is also an Earth Release ninjutsu that Kakashi frequently used later on.

Kakashi, standing in front of Yu Ming with his back to him, said, "Watch closely, I'll demonstrate it for you. My chakra reserves aren't very high, so I can only demonstrate it once."

Yu Ming nodded.

Kakashi's chakra isn't so great that he can only release a B-rank ninjutsu once; he can even release an S-rank ninjutsu like Lightning Blade several times.

Kakashi's gaze sharpened, and he became very serious. "Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall".

After completing the hand seals, Kakashi slapped his hands onto the ground.

"Boom!"

A few meters in front of the two, a mud wall suddenly appeared, more than two meters wide, more than ten meters long, and five or six meters high.

To be precise, it's a rock wall.

It can be said that its defensive capabilities are quite considerable.

Yu Ming looked at the dog's head on the stone wall and was speechless. "Kakashi-sensei, aren't you wasting your chakra? Why are you still carving dog heads on the wall?"

And there's more than one.

Kakashi paused for a moment, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it; the dog was his summoning animal.

Looking at Kakashi's expression, Yu Ming knew that he was completely unaware of the problem, so he could only smile wryly and say, "Alright, I'll give it a try."

Kakashi then said, "This is a B-rank ninjutsu, which requires a lot of chakra. You just released a Water Release: Water Chaos Wave. If you feel you don't have enough chakra, don't force it."

Yu Ming is only six years old now.

Even if one's chakra reserves are higher than those of their peers, they won't be significantly higher.

Yu Ming laughed and said, "I don't have much chakra left, but I can still release an Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall."

The reason is that Yu Ming's chakra recovers very quickly. Almost all of his chakra was recovered within minutes of him releasing Water Release: Water Severing Wave.

He simply didn't intend to tell Kakashi.

Because it was too shocking.

A ninja's chakra recovery is not particularly fast, otherwise there wouldn't be such a thing as soldier pills.
