Konoha: Intentionally losing to Hinata at the start

But Kakashi, standing on the tree, smiled slightly. "What an interesting kid. His last throw wasn't a mistake, was it?"

After the kunai throwing test, Sasuke came in first place in the class.

Sasuke pretended to be cool and accepted the praise from his classmates.

Iruka, holding the list, coughed and said, "Ahem, next up is the practical assessment, which will be a good opportunity to test your physical skills."

"Remember, ninjutsu is not allowed."

All the students nodded.

Iruka nodded in satisfaction. Yu Ming is number 12, and it will take a long time.

So he sat down on the sidelines and calmly watched the battle unfold.

Kakashi stood on the tree and smiled. "I suppose this kind of battle is quite boring for him."

Kakashi was absolutely right. For Yu Ming, this kind of battle was really no different from playing house.

The practical assessment proceeded quickly; in just half an hour, it was Yu Ming's turn.

Iruka looked at the list and read out, "Next pair, Yu Ming versus Hinata Hyuga. Please enter the battle circle."

Sitting on the sidelines, Yu Ming was stunned for a moment. "I didn't expect my opponent to be her?"

"This is a bit tricky. How should we lose?"

After drawing his number, Yu Ming didn't look at who his opponent was.

Hinata Hyuga, somewhat shyly, stepped into the battle.

Yu Ming frowned. "Never mind, we'll talk about it later."

"Normally, it would be fine, but now there's someone watching me, which makes things really difficult."

Yu Ming walked into the circle with a calm expression.

Iruka stood before the two and "began to form a battle seal."

Hinata's face flushed red, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Yu Ming.

"Yu, Yu Mingjun, please give me your guidance."

Yu Ming nodded. "Please give me your guidance."

Hinata is actually shy around everyone.

After completing the battle seal, Yu Ming saw that Hinata had already assumed a fighting stance.

He stopped worrying about how to lose.

He took a deep breath and said, "Come on~".

After saying that, Yu Ming's gaze sharpened slightly, and he rushed towards Hinata.

Hinata also rushed towards Yu Ming.

"Bang~".

Their arms collided.

Hinata's body trembled slightly. "Yu Ming-kun has such strong power."

Yu Ming was somewhat surprised, "So Hinata's power is so strong, no wonder she can eat so much."

"Bang~".

After their arms collided, Yu Ming kicked Hinata, who instantly activated her Byakugan and slapped Yu Ming's leg with both hands.

The immense force of the two individuals sent dust flying from the ground.

They retreated immediately upon contact, with Yu Ming and Hinata each taking a step back.

Hinata looked at Yu Ming and said, "Yu Ming-kun, you are amazing."

Yu Ming didn't speak, but his understanding of Hinata improved once again.

Soon, Yu Ming and Hinata were locked in a fierce battle, with Hinata becoming increasingly unrestrained as the fight progressed.

All of his strength was unleashed at once.

After knocking Yu Ming's body away with a palm strike, he adopted the stance of Soft Fist, "Soft Fist, Bagua Sixteen Palms".

Hinata, having activated her Byakugan, saw the massive amount of chakra within Yu Ming's body, but she didn't say anything.

He imbued his hands with chakra and struck Yu Ming's body.

Yu Ming frowned. "If she hits you, you'll really get hurt."

Hinata moved extremely fast.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Yu Ming and struck out with both palms.

"Bang bang bang~".

"Bang bang bang~".

"Bang bang bang~".

......

The air itself seemed to make a sound.

Hinata's movements are becoming so fast that they are almost impossible to see with the naked eye.

The students in the audience were stunned.

Especially those who previously thought Hinata was weak.

Naruto was even stunned. "I didn't know Hinata was so amazing. She's so fast."

Sasuke frowned.

"This woman is very strong."

Ino and Sakura were completely stunned. "So Hinata is this powerful?"

Even Iruka exclaimed, "It seems Hinata didn't fully unleash her power before."

"But can Yu Ming really withstand this kind of attack?"

Yu Ming frowned slightly as he watched the soft fists gradually striking his body.

"No, it won't do. If I really get hit, it will feel terrible."

The next moment, just as Hinata's palms were only a few fingers' width away from Yu Ming's body, Yu Ming suddenly and strangely dodged away.

Hinata's Byakugan can help her change direction quickly.

In less than a second, Yu Ming's body dodged more than a dozen times.

On the last occasion, Yu Ming deliberately did not dodge.

Hinata struck Yu Ming with a palm strike.

"Bang~".

"Ugh~".

The palm struck Yu Ming in the abdomen, almost causing him to vomit blood.

Clutching his stomach, Yu Ming retreated a few steps with a ferocious expression.

"Stop, you win."

Hinata only realized what was happening after she finished attacking.

"Oh, Yu Mingjun, I'm sorry."

She was so engrossed in the fight that she was now worried that she might hurt Yu Ming.

Yu Ming gritted his teeth; it really hurt.

However, he still shook his head and said, "Don't worry, it's nothing. You are really strong. As expected of someone from the Hyuga clan."

Yu Ming thought to himself, "If it weren't for my improved physical abilities, I would probably be coughing up blood by now. Hinata's strength is really amazing. No wonder she can eat so much."

Clutching his stomach, Yu Ming was in great pain, but he walked down without uttering a sound.

Iruka realized what was happening and quickly came over. "Yuming, do you need me to take you to the infirmary?"

Yu Ming waved his hand and forced a smile. "Don't worry, Teacher Iruka, it's nothing. It's just a little sore for a short time. It's okay, I'll be fine after sitting for a while."

Indeed, nothing happened.

However, it really does hurt.

A large part of it was an act.

Kakashi, standing on the book, chuckled. "This kid's speed is really fast. He deliberately didn't dodge the last time, but this attack is enough to make you suffer."

"That speed just now surpassed that of many Chunin. A kid who is only six years old has a reaction speed that surpasses that of some Chunin."

"It seems your strength is far greater than what you're showing now; you must be even stronger."

After the battle, many students in the class developed a sense of awe towards Hinata.

It turns out that the seemingly gentle Hinata has always been incredibly powerful.

In that situation, few of them would be confident they could have avoided it.

Chapter 4

Sasuke frowned. "This guy has never shown his full strength before."

"But Yu Ming actually lost to a girl, he's really weak."

Sasuke didn't realize that Yu Ming was deliberately letting Hinata win.

In fact, not only him, but all the students in the class, including Iruka, didn't notice it.

Everyone crowded around Hinata to flatter her.

Hinata, however, looked at Yu Ming with a worried expression.

The assessment continued, and the classmates were only curious about Hinata's strength. After the next assessment began, they turned their attention to the battle on the field.

Hinata then walked up to Yu Ming.
