Konoha: Intentionally losing to Hinata at the start

"Now I realize that Yu Ming is so handsome, maybe even more handsome than Sasuke. No, Sasuke is definitely more handsome, but if we're really talking about looks, Sasuke really isn't as handsome as Yu Ming."

"Hinata, you have such a sharp eye. Before anyone else noticed how handsome Yu Ming was, you made your move first."

Ino was genuinely a little envious.

Hinata's face grew increasingly red as Ino spoke to her.

"Hinata, why was Yu Ming in such a hurry to leave just now? Right, lately, he's been leaving school immediately after school every day, as if he has something to do."

Hinata nodded. "Yes, I'm curious too. Yu Ming-kun has been leaving as soon as school is over lately, he seems to be in a hurry."

“But every time I followed him for a while, Yu Mingjun would spot me and then shake me off.”

Hinata blurted it out without thinking, which made Ino laugh and say, "You still dare to say you don't like him, but you actually followed him."

Hinata realized she had said the wrong thing, and her face turned even redder.

Yu Ming was unaware of Hinata and Ino's conversation.

He had actually noticed Ino's presence earlier, but at that moment, he didn't care anymore.

It was just beating a few kids.

After more than ten minutes, Yu Ming walked through the forest.

When he arrived at his destination, he saw Kakashi and another familiar person there.

His push-ups while upside down with one hand supporting his body were particularly absurd.

As soon as Yu Ming saw Matt Kai, he recognized him.

Kakashi put down the book in his hand after he noticed that Yu Ming had arrived.

"They've arrived."

Yu Ming walked up to Kakashi and calmly said, "Kakashi-sensei."

Before Kakashi could even introduce Guy, Guy himself appeared in front of Yu Ming, grabbed Yu Ming's hand, and said excitedly, "My name is Might Guy, and your name is Yu Ming, right? You are indeed a promising talent for taijutsu. Yu Ming, let's train in taijutsu together. As long as you train in taijutsu with me, I guarantee that you will surpass me in the future and become a taijutsu master of Konoha."

Yu Ming looked at Kakashi, his eyes seeming to say, "Who is this guy?"

Kakashi sighed and said, "Yu Ming, this is Might Guy, a Jonin from Konoha. He's skilled in taijutsu. He's the one who told me to have you learn taijutsu. But when he heard you didn't want to learn, he insisted on coming up with me to see you."

Chapter 17

Yu Ming looked at Kai, who was looking excited, and nodded, "Teacher Kai."

He didn't really want to communicate with Kai; he felt that Kai's mind was indeed a bit off.

Kai smiled and looked at Yu Ming. "Yu Ming, I heard from Kakashi that you have great talent. I want to see what you're really like."

Before Yu Ming could react, she flashed and appeared in front of him with incredible speed.

He kicked Yu Ming in the face.

His speed was incredibly fast; he truly lived up to his reputation as a ninja specializing in taijutsu.

Yu Ming frowned and blocked Kai's kick with both hands.

"Bang~".

The immense force forced Yu Ming back more than ten steps.

My hands felt incredibly numb.

Yu Ming frowned and shook his hands. "Such powerful strength."

Yu Ming's reaction, standing more than ten meters away, stunned both Kakashi and Guy.

Kai, in particular, knew exactly how much force he had used. He had intended to stop before Yu Ming could react, but Yu Ming had actually caught it with both hands.

The key point is that he was not injured.

Yu Ming's behavior only fueled Kai's interest in him.

"Kakashi, you were right after all. Yu Ming does have some strength; he can actually use my steel leg."

Kakashi looked at Yu Ming, frowned, and said, "Take it easy, don't really hurt him."

Kakashi didn't mind Guy testing Yu Ming's strength, because he also wanted to see what progress Yu Ming had made in all these days.

Kai smiled and said, "Don't worry, he won't get hurt."

After saying that, Kai rushed towards Yu Ming again.

"Bang~".

The two exchanged blows in mid-air. Although Yu Ming was under immense pressure, Kai was not using his full strength, and Yu Ming managed to barely withstand all of Kai's attacks.

Standing to the side, Kakashi thought to himself, "Yu Ming should already have the strength of an upper-level Chunin, at least in terms of taijutsu."

The strength of ninjas is manifested in many ways.

Physical techniques, ninjutsu, genjutsu, and combat wisdom, etc.

At least in terms of physical skills, Yu Ming's performance greatly satisfied Kakashi.

After Kai and Yu Ming fought for a full ten minutes, Yu Ming was finally knocked back several steps by a single punch from Kai.

Yu Ming looked at Kai, speechless. "This guy's taijutsu is really strong. If he goes all out, I might not last a minute before being knocked away. If he opens the Eight Gates, I might even be knocked away in one move."

Under normal circumstances, Yu Ming could at least hold his own against Kai for a minute without being defeated, but with Kai having opened the Eight Gates, Yu Ming felt that he couldn't even withstand a single move.

After the fight ended, Kai laughed heartily and walked up to Yu Ming. "Yu Ming, your taijutsu talent is indeed very strong. Let's train in taijutsu together. My taijutsu is even stronger than Kakashi's. Let's work hard together!"

Yu Ming, who was just feeling shocked by Kai's strength, quickly shook his head and said, "No, Teacher Kai, I don't want to spend too much time on physical skills."

Kai was deeply hurt by Yu Ming's words. He thought that his strength had been enough to make Yu Ming change his mind, but Yu Ming was not moved at all.

"Why? You have a great talent for physical training. If you spend time on physical training, I believe you will definitely surpass me in the future. Moreover, I can also teach you my secret techniques."

"You don't know this, do you? I have a secret technique that can make a person's physical strength surpass that of ninjutsu."

"Aren't you going to reconsider?"

Before Yu Ming could answer, Kakashi had already walked up to Guy and said, "Alright, stop talking. Yu Ming has already answered you. He doesn't want to spend too much time on taijutsu, and I think you should know that too."

"It would not be of any benefit to Yu Ming to specialize in physical techniques."

Kai frowned, then made a final attempt, "Well, it's actually possible to train with Kakashi while also training with me."

Before Kakashi could speak, Yu Ming shook his head. "No need. Kakashi-sensei can teach me this. His taijutsu is actually quite good."

Under normal circumstances, Kakashi and Guy's physical skills are actually quite similar.

Therefore, Yu Ming had no intention of practicing physical skills with Kai, not even a little bit.

Kakashi chuckled and said, "That's right. Actually, I can teach him taijutsu too. There's no need for him to learn your Eight Gates."

Kakashi also knows the Eight Gates Formation, but he didn't specialize in it.

Kai was somewhat unwilling, but looking at Yu Ming's serious gaze, he sighed helplessly, "It's such a pity, Yu Ming. Your talent for physical training is really high, even much higher than mine. If you could train in physical techniques, you would definitely surpass me in the future."

Kakashi smiled and said, "Stop trying to seduce him. Yu Ming is different from other children."

Kakashi had already gone this far, so Guy could only sigh helplessly, "Fine, Kakashi, you'd better teach him properly, or else..."

Before Kai could finish speaking, Kakashi laughed and said, "I can't even teach him well, are you sure you can?"

Kai was stunned by these words and then remained silent.

Although I hate to admit it, Kakashi is indeed much better than him in this aspect.

Looking at the two of them, Yu Ming calmly asked, "Kakashi-sensei, what are we going to learn today?"

Kakashi walked over, thought for a moment, and said, "Today I'll teach you a Lightning Release ninjutsu."

Yu Ming nodded.

Knowing that Yu Ming couldn't possibly learn taijutsu from him, Kai sat to the side watching how Yu Ming learned. Was it really as Kakashi said, that one could learn it just by hearing the principles once?

Kakashi began explaining the basics of Lightning Release to Yu Ming, which took about half an hour.

Kai was able to listen at first, but after less than three minutes, he started to doze off.

She was completely asleep within ten minutes.

For him, this kind of theoretical knowledge was truly like a lullaby.

Yu Ming listened with great interest.

After more than half an hour of explanation, Kakashi smiled and said, "Alright, I've finished explaining the basics to you. Next, I'm going to teach you a C-rank Lightning Release ninjutsu called Lightning Release: Earth Walk."

Yu Ming nodded.

This is a relatively basic Lightning Release ninjutsu, but when combined with Water Release, it can unleash tremendous power.

Kakashi began forming hand seals, this time without deliberately slowing down.

After completing the hand seals, countless arcs of electricity erupted from Kakashi's hands.

"Sizzle~".

The area within three or four meters was completely covered by electric arcs.

"Bang~".

The surrounding land was also struck by these electric arcs, creating several craters.

Overall, the destructive power was not significant.

Yu Ming smiled and said, "Kakashi-sensei, let me give it a try."

Kakashi laughed and asked, "You've learned it?"

Yu Ming nodded and smiled, "Maybe."

After speaking, Yu Ming's gaze narrowed slightly, and his hands quickly formed hand seals.

"Thunder Escape - Earth Walk".

"Sizzle~".

"Boom!"

Chapter 18

As Yu Ming completed the hand seals, countless arcs of electricity suddenly erupted from his body, spreading outwards like pythons.
