Konoha: Intentionally losing to Hinata at the start

Hinata was very happy, as it showed that in Yu Ming's heart, she and Ino held completely different positions.

Yu Ming covered his ears with two fingers and looked at Ino; this gesture was quite obvious.

Ino was a little embarrassed. "I... I'm not going back. I want to sit here. The teacher didn't say I had to sit somewhere."

Yu Ming looked at Ino's expression, which said, "I'm not going back," and shook his head. "You can sit anywhere, but can you be a little quieter? You're really noisy."

Ino wanted to retort, but she stopped herself just as she was about to speak, lest Yuming say that she was too loud again.

Hinata secretly rejoiced, thinking, "So Yu Ming-kun doesn't like girls who are too noisy."

Hinata felt that she was very quiet.

No one usually sits here in Yuming.

Because Yu Ming was a nobody in his class and didn't have many friends, he would usually go to the training ground to watch the ninjas train after school.

I don't play house with those little kids at all.

So Yu Ming didn't have a single friend in the class.

Now, not only Ino is sitting next to Yu Ming, but Hinata is also sitting next to him.

Although the others hadn't noticed yet, Shikamaru, Choji, and Kiba had.

Shikamaru, who was lying on the table, was stunned when he saw Ino sitting next to Yu Ming, chattering away. "What's wrong with Ino?"

"How did he end up sitting next to that guy?"

Yu Ming and Shikamaru were not familiar with each other at all.

That's why Shikamaru calls Yu Ming "that guy".

Choji stopped eating his potato chips, glanced at it, and laughed, "Maybe it's because Ino likes it. Hasn't she always liked handsome guys? Maybe she's changed her target."

"Yu Ming is quite handsome, so it's normal for Ino to like him."

But Shikamaru didn't think so.

Ino has always liked Sasuke, not only because Sasuke is indeed very handsome, but also because Sasuke is the top student in the class.

The latter condition is particularly important.

Without the latter condition, the first condition is also difficult to meet.

Therefore, Yu Ming must be extraordinary; he must have done something to pique Ino's interest.

And Ya was also very curious.

"Hinata is usually a quiet and introverted person, so why would she sit next to that guy? That's so weird."

"What do you think, Akamaru?"

Akamaru, perched on the tooth, barked a few times in agreement.

Yu Ming noticed the gazes of Ya and the others, but after thinking for a moment, he ignored them.

"It seems I can't just show off my strength anymore. It's only been a few days, and I'm already being watched by so many people."

Yu Ming thought to himself...

Chapter 21

Although Shikamaru, Choji, and Kiba had some doubts about Yu Ming, they didn't actually go up and ask him.

After school, Yu Ming didn't rush home as usual this time.

Kakashi has a mission today.

Just as they left the school, Hinata and Ino caught up with them.

Ino, quite boldly, walked beside Yu Ming and asked, "Why weren't you in such a hurry to leave today? Is it because we found out and you're afraid to go out?"

Hinata walked on the other side of Yu Ming and said in a low voice, "Ino, don't talk nonsense."

Yu Ming, however, remained quite calm and chuckled, "Do you know how noisy you are?"

Ino scoffed, "Tch, did I hit the nail on the head?"

Yu Ming chuckled and ignored him.

This time, he did not go to the training ground to watch the ninjas train, because what those ninjas were showing was no longer enough to support Yu Ming's progress.

The three walked along the road. Yu Ming and Hinata rarely spoke, while Ino kept talking.

Yu Ming was also speechless. He hadn't expected Ino to be so difficult to deal with, and so talkative.

The three of them walked for more than ten minutes, and when they passed a grove of trees, Yu Ming took Hinata's hand.

"Wait a moment".

Ino continued talking without stopping. After taking a few steps forward, she realized that Yu Ming and Hinata had stopped behind her.

He asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"

At this moment, Yu Ming's face was somewhat solemn. "There are people in the woods. They should be the helpers that group of people hired yesterday. Hinata, be careful."

Hinata blushed slightly because Yu Ming was holding her hand.

"Ok".

Ino was completely stunned. "Someone? Who is it?"

After saying that, she looked into the woods, but she couldn't find anyone there.

"There's no one here."

"Besides, isn't it normal for there to be people in this forest? What's so strange about it?"

This was a small grove of trees in the village, so Ino didn't find it strange that there were people in the grove.

Yu Ming, however, sensed an unfamiliar chakra.

And he wasn't a student at the ninja academy.

After thinking about it, who else could it be besides the student who came to cause trouble for him yesterday?

Just as Ino was about to walk towards Yuming, a whooshing sound came from the forest.

Ino was unaware of this.

Yu Ming had already appeared in front of her.

He pulled out a kunai from his ninja tool pouch and knocked away a flying stone.

"Ding~".

The sound of metal clashing made Ino realize what was happening.

"What happened?"

She didn't even notice how Yu Ming had appeared in front of her.

Yu Ming shouted, "Hinata, open your Byakugan and take a look inside the woods."

Hinata nodded. "Yeah, Byakugan."

As Hinata activated her Byakugan, she was surprised to find two ninjas in the forest.

Although they were only genin, they were completely outmatched by students from ninja academies.

"There are two ninjas in the forest. Judging from their chakra, they are at least genin."

Ino was completely stunned, not knowing what had happened.

"Yu Ming, what exactly happened? Why are ninjas attacking us?"

Yu Ming stood in front of Ino, looking into the woods, and calmly said, "They must have been invited by those people I taught a lesson yesterday. Be careful later, I'm not sure if I'm a match for these two ninjas right now."

Ino was completely stunned. "We've only just entered the Ninja Academy, how could we possibly be a match for ninjas? Yuming, let's run and let the security forces handle this."

Yu Ming calmly replied, "Even if I can run today, do I have to run every day? I want to resolve everything today."

Ino was startled by Yu Ming's words. "Yu Ming, don't be impulsive. They are ninjas."

Yu Ming put the kunai into his ninja tool pouch and calmly said, "Me too."

With that, he rushed into the woods.

Ino was completely taken aback by Yu Ming's actions, while Hinata, after thinking for a moment, followed Yu Ming and rushed inside.

Ino jumped up and down, "Ugh, you two are really awful!"

Despite saying that, Ino still followed Yu Ming and rushed into the woods.

Yu Ming, who rushed into the woods, had already sensed the location of the two.

The two people hid behind two large trees.

Yu Ming rushed towards one of them. "You two must be the helpers that four good-for-nothings hired yesterday, right? I'm curious, as ninjas, you bully students who didn't graduate from the ninja academy. If this is reported, can you still be ninjas?"

The two genin who originally just wanted to teach Yu Ming a lesson were stunned.

Their gazes then sharpened slightly, and the two exchanged a glance.

They were all determined to give Yu Ming a good beating and then force him not to report the matter.

Having made up their minds, the two stepped out from behind the big tree and looked at Yu Ming, Hinata, and Ino.

The two men chuckled. "Kid, you're pretty clever, aren't you? You actually brought up the village to intimidate us. But do you think we'll be afraid of you just because you did that?"

"Let me tell you, don't be naive. If you dare to report this, believe me or not, I will make you suffer a lot."

The two took out two kunai from their ninja tool pouches, intending to intimidate Yu Ming.

At the age of fifteen or sixteen, the two men dared not kill anyone from their own village, otherwise they would either have to serve time in prison or become rogue ninjas.

The two of them only wanted to intimidate Yu Ming and force him to submit.

But Yu Ming disliked this statement.

"Oh, it's causing me pain? How is it causing me pain?"

"You two are already fifteen or sixteen years old, right? At that age, you should at least be Chunin, right? You're still Genin. To be honest, I'm embarrassed."

The two frowned; no one had ever mocked them for their ninja ranking before.

Because ordinary ninjas at this age are only at the level of genin, and only those with some talent will be promoted to chunin.
