Konoha: Intentionally losing to Hinata at the start

In an instant, a ravine hundreds of meters long appeared in the forest.

Fortunately, the training ground is huge, with a radius of several kilometers; otherwise, the ditch would have even spread into the village.

This ravine is tens of meters long and more than ten meters wide. It is located in the forest. All the trees in front of this ravine have been smashed, leaving only a ravine on the ground.

This scene stunned the three people standing on the side. "This, this reaction speed, even my Sharingan can't see it clearly. Yu Ming, your speed has increased a lot in the past three years."

Even with his three-tomoe Sharingan activated, Kakashi still couldn't see how Yu Ming threw Sakura away.

Just now, I heard a sudden explosion and Sakura appeared hundreds of meters away.

Tsunade, on the other hand, thought of the time a few years ago when Yu Ming upgraded his Rinnegan, and that power had blasted her hundreds of meters away.

Standing before Yu Ming at the end of the ravine, Sakura looked disheveled, but she hadn't suffered any fatal injuries.

But it really wasn't pleasant.

Looking at Yu Ming standing hundreds of meters away, Xiao Ying frowned. "If Yu Ming had tried to kill me just now, I wouldn't have survived."

"Indeed, the gap between me and him is too great." VII.

Chapter 191

Seeing Sakura being flung hundreds of meters away, Naruto suddenly attacked Yu Ming from the sky.

There was also a shadow clone beside him.

The shadow clone gripped a kunai and flung it at Yu Ming.

A dozen or so shuriken and kunai appeared in front of Yu Ming at lightning speed.

Just as the kunai and shuriken were about to attack Yu Ming, he suddenly transformed into lightning. Yu Ming dodged the shurikens and kunai like several bolts of lightning.

"Rasengan".

After Naruto's shadow clone threw out the shuriken and kunai, it also threw Naruto away.

Naruto, holding a Rasengan in one hand, charged toward Yu Ming at lightning speed.

This is a tactic that Naruto often uses; someone with poor physical abilities really can't use it.

Seeing Naruto do this, Yu Ming smiled slightly and said, "That's quite an idea, but you can't hit me like that."

Naruto appeared above Yu Ming with lightning speed and pressed the Rasengan in his hand down towards Yu Ming.

Just as the Rasengan was only a meter away from Yu Ming's face, before Yu Ming even formed any hand seals, a violent burst of lightning suddenly erupted in front of him.

A layer of lightning shield blocked Naruto's Rasengan.

"Boom!"

The Rasengan and the lightning shield collided, and the resulting energy shockwave shattered the land within a radius of tens of meters.

The ground was cracked with spiderweb-like fissures that stretched for dozens of meters.

Naruto gathered a lot of chakra into this Rasengan.

However, the moment it touched Yu Ming's protective shield, it was immediately shattered by that terrifying lightning.

The surrounding land was shattered, but the place where Yu Ming stood remained intact.

Yu Ming didn't even make a move.

His lightning shield can be activated almost instantly.

The terrifying chakra turbulence sent Naruto flying dozens of meters away, landing him on a rock.

Kakashi, Jiraiya, and Tsunade were all stunned.

"Is this Yu Ming's Lightning Release: Lightning Net?"

In fact, Yu Ming's ninjutsu is derived from Lightning Release: Lightning Net.

Jiraiya was aware of Yu Mei's ninjutsu.

However, the Lightning Release: Lightning Net he had seen before was much more powerful than what he saw today.

However, even if the power wasn't that great, Naruto's Rasengan still couldn't penetrate it, and couldn't even budge it in the slightest.

Naruto stood up from beside the rock, his whole body wracked with pain. He had been hit by the chakra turbulence and had also crashed into the rock.

Even though Naruto was in good health, he still felt some pain.

However, after this battle, they have become very clear about the gap between themselves and Yu Ming.

There is absolutely no comparison.

Yu Ming didn't even have to make a move; he simply used a technique of borrowing the opponent's strength and a defensive lightning net to defeat the two.

The gap between the two sides was so large that Naruto and Sakura were filled with despair.

Naruto stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at Yu Ming with a very solemn expression. "I originally thought that three years of training should have narrowed the gap between us, but who knew it would still be like this. I can't even fight back. If you want to kill me, I won't even have a chance to fight back."

The reason Naruto didn't use Shadow Clone Jutsu or any fancy tricks was because he knew very well that those things would be completely useless against Yu Ming.

Sakura, despite her internal injuries, also came to Yu Ming's side.

She had always thought Yu Ming was very powerful, but she only knew how powerful he was from what others said. The only time she had ever seen Yu Ming in action was during the mission in the Land of Waves, when she saw him personally kill an elite Jonin and a special Jonin-level ninja.

But now that she's actually tried it, she really feels that Yu Ming's strength far surpasses hers, and the two don't even seem to be from the same grade.

Their strengths are on completely different levels.

Standing in front of Yu Ming, Xiao Ying smiled bitterly and said, "If you had been my enemy just now, I might already be dead."

Naruto walked up to Yu Ming and nodded. "Yes, if we had been your enemies just now, we would probably be dead a long time ago."

"You activated that shield without even forming any hand seals. I don't think you could break that shield even with your Rasenshuriken."

Sakura paused for a moment, "What is a Rasengan Shuriken?"

Sakura had no idea what the Rasenshuriken was.

Because besides Naruto, only Jiraiya and Tsunade knew about the Yu Ming Hui ninjutsu.

Naruto thought for a moment and said, "As you can tell from the name, Rasenshuriken is an advanced version of Rasengan. It is an extremely terrifying ninjutsu, and it is very difficult to master. It is an S-rank ninjutsu with great power, which is incomparable to Rasengan."

"If it were to hit the ground, it could probably create a huge crater that is one or two hundred meters wide."

"Most importantly, this ninjutsu will split into countless small wind blades to attack the body's cells."

"So even some ninjas with extremely strong physical abilities will still die if they are hit by this ninjutsu."

"It's a pity that this ninjutsu is too dangerous and very difficult; I can't master it yet."

"However, I think that even if I master this ninjutsu, I still won't be able to break through his lightning shield."

Naruto now imagines that even if he used the Rasenshuriken, he still wouldn't be able to do any damage to Yu Ming's lightning shield.

Sakura couldn't understand it, but she still felt it was very strong.

After all, it was a ninjutsu developed by Yu Ming, so how could it be weak?

Although most of the ninjutsu developed by Yu Ming were lightning-style.

Moreover, there are many S-rank and even super S-rank ninjutsu.

However, that doesn't mean his other escape techniques are bad.

Jiraiya and the other two walked over, looked at Yu Ming, and laughed, "It's still the same result as three years ago. The two of them can't possibly force you to reveal your true strength."

"It's just that your strength is already beyond the reach of many Kage-level players."

Yu Ming's reaction speed alone, and his Lightning Release: Lightning Net, are not something that ordinary people can break through.

Yu Ming, on the other hand, seemed quite calm. The fact that he didn't unleash his aura to subdue Naruto and Sakura was already a great favor to them.

It gives them the opportunity to attack themselves.

Tsunade smiled and said, "Alright, the test is over. Over the past three years, you and Sakura have both made great progress, and your strength should be at the level of Jonin."

"Naruto, you also have to participate in the Chunin Exams this time. You must at least pass this Chunin Exam. Of all the ninjas in your cohort, you are the only one who is still a genin. Yu Ming and Neji have even become jonin."

"You need to work hard too. If you can't pass this time, you'll really have to continue as a junior ninja. There are many missions that you can't take on with a 0.7 rating."

Naruto also realized the seriousness of the problem.

He didn't want to be a Genin for the rest of his life; he needed to at least pass the Chunin Exams.

Looking at Yu Ming, Naruto asked, "How did Yu Ming become a Jonin?"

Neji knew how to become a Jonin, but he didn't know how Yu Ming did it.

The others remained silent, but Tsunade laughed and said, "What, you think Yu Ming isn't worthy?"

Naruto glanced at Yu Ming and saw that he was calm. Then he thought about Yu Ming's strength.

He said awkwardly, "No, I just don't know why he became a Jonin. Could it be because of his strength?"

Tsunade nodded. "Yes, does he need any other reason? Besides, he's my bodyguard, and he's completed several S-rank missions and over a dozen A-rank missions. With that kind of workload, isn't it normal for him to become a Jonin?"

Chapter 192

Naruto hadn't expected that Yu Ming would complete so many missions in the past three years—several S-rank missions and more than a dozen A-rank missions. For a Jonin, that was quite impressive.

Moreover, Yu Ming is a bodyguard of the Hokage, possessing great strength, so it's quite normal for him to become a Jonin.

Yu Ming looked at Naruto and laughed, "You should pass the Chunin Exams first. Right now, you and Sasuke are the only ones who haven't passed."

Naruto frowned when Sasuke was mentioned.

His return this time was not only because Jiraiya was also coming back, but also because the three-year period had come to an end, and Orochimaru was going to make a move against Sasuke, so they needed to search for Sasuke's whereabouts.

Jiraiya looked at Yu Ming and said, "We came back this time because three years have passed. Orochimaru is going to make a move against Sasuke. I wonder how Sasuke is doing now."

Jiraiya knew very well that Sasuke and Naruto's situation was the same as Orochimaru's and his situation back then.

Therefore, Jiraiya fully understood Naruto's feelings.

Yu Ming didn't actually want to get involved in this matter. If he had really intervened in chapter 09, he could have brought Sasuke back. However, Sasuke needed to obtain power from Orochimaru.

Yu Ming couldn't possibly teach him anything.

Naturally, Orochimaru was the best option for him.

Back in the Hokage's room.

After staying up all night, Jiraiya and Naruto went back to rest.
