Konoha: Intentionally losing to Hinata at the start

Once you pass the Chunin exam, all you need to do to become a Jonin is complete more missions.

Yu Ming wasn't too concerned about ninja ranks, and smiled, "I think I'm still young and need to learn from Kakashi-sensei. It's good to take it one step at a time."

Yu Ming refused the offer to join the third generation.

The Third Generation's words were actually intended to recruit Yu Ming.

Do more missions and upgrade to Jonin level; each step requires the Third Hokage's guidance.

However, although Yu Ming refused the Third Hokage's offer to recruit him, he said he would stay under Kakashi's command, and Kakashi belonged to the Third Hokage.

Naturally, Yu Ming also chose the third generation's side.

Of course, what Yu Ming showed was simply a choice made based on his preferences.

The Third Hokage thought that Yu Ming wanted to continue learning from Kakashi.

So even though the Third Hokage was rejected, he wasn't angry at all. He smiled and said, "It's good to follow Kakashi. He is the best among all the Jonin in Konoha right now. Learning from him can greatly improve your skills."

"The fire-style ninjutsu you used today was quite good. Although it was only C-rank in difficulty, its power was comparable to B-rank."

"Being able to unleash that level of ninjutsu means your strength is at least that of a Chunin. If you need anything, just tell me, and if I can help you, I will do so."

Yu Ming thought for a moment and smiled, "Thank you, Lord Hokage, but I don't need anything right now."

The third generation nodded, and then chatted with Yu Ming for more than ten minutes. He did all the asking questions, and Yu Ming answered.

Throughout this process, Yu Ming did not show any impropriety.

At least the third generation has a pretty good impression.

At night, Yu Ming lay in bed, staring at the ceiling.

The Sharingan pattern appeared in his eyes.

"With my current physique, using the Mangekyou Sharingan can already be done without affecting my vision at all, but it seems that my eye power still hasn't reached the eternal level of the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"I wonder if my eye power will reach the level of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan as my physique continues to improve in the future."

"I have now initially mastered Wood Release, but unfortunately, I have only learned some things like Advent of a World of Trees and Wood Clone Technique."

"I still can't master that super S-level Wood Release ninjutsu."

Yu Ming had actually already mastered Wood Release last year.

Water Release and Earth Release were combined and finally merged into Yu Ming's ultimate Yang Release. Yu Ming had already fused with Wood Release.

Unfortunately, he knew very well that with his current level, his Wood Release skills might not even be as strong as Yamato's.

After all, he learned some Wood Release ninjutsu from watching Yamato fight him.

Yamato simply cannot master many Wood Release ninjutsu, such as Wood Human Technique and Advent of the Flowering Tree World, which are super S-rank ninjutsu.

Yu Ming's Wood Release is actually more advanced than Yamato's, as it possesses the ultimate Yang Release, which is life force.

However, he has only just mastered Wood Release ninjutsu. He either needs to develop it himself or ask the village for Wood Release ninjutsu to learn.

However, given the current situation, it would be foolish to try to learn from materials obtained from the village.

Looking at the ceiling, Yu Ming said helplessly, "My chakra level hasn't reached the level of the First Hokage, and it's even lower than Naruto's chakra now. If you add the Nine-Tails' chakra, it's even worse."

Yu Ming sighed, "It seems there's still a long way to go. Fortunately, my physique is constantly improving, it's just that the speed is a bit slow."

In fact, Yu Ming's physique has been continuously improving without any restrictions. In the early stages, there was not much difference between him and other physiques, but in the later stages, he became extremely formidable.

Although Yu Ming has incorporated Wood Release, he has not mastered Wood Release ninjutsu.

Even now, with his Wood Release ninjutsu like the Wood Human Technique, he doesn't have enough chakra to use.

The biggest difference between Yamato and the First Hokage is not whether they have Yang Release, but the amount of chakra they possess.

Yamato's total chakra was less than one-tenth of the chakra of a single Wood Clone of the First Hokage, making it impossible for him to use a Wood Release ninjutsu of the Wood Human Technique level.

Currently, Yu Ming possesses the following bloodline limits: Wood Release, Sharingan, and a special physique.

He did not synthesize other bloodline limits.

Because he uses chakra, and the bloodline limit that is most compatible with chakra is actually the Sharingan and Wood Release.

The next day, Yu Ming didn't leave until noon.

Kakashi arrived at the meeting point a few minutes later.

Naruto looked at Yu Ming and said, "You bastard, Yu Ming, you're too cunning! You actually know when Kakashi-sensei will be late."

Yu Ming smiled slightly and said nothing.

Kakashi smiled and said, "I'm on my way~".

Before Kakashi could even begin to make up a reason, Naruto and Sakura simultaneously said, "I don't believe it."

Sasuke stood to one side, looking somewhat displeased.

After all, he doesn't like being late all the time.

Seeing that the others didn't believe him, Kakashi laughed and said, "Alright, today is our first mission. Let's go to the Hokage Building to pick up the mission."

Naruto was really looking forward to the mission.

He had already planned out all the ways he would steal the spotlight during the mission.

As the three walked ahead, Yu Ming lagged a few steps behind, walking beside Kakashi. "The Third Hokage came to see me yesterday."

Kakashi paused for a moment, then pondered for a while before asking, "What did he say?"

Kakashi was actually a little worried that Yu Ming would be discovered by the Third Hokage.

Now that the Third Hokage has discovered him, Kakashi doesn't see any benefit in it.

Yu Ming smiled and said, "They wanted to recruit me, but I refused. The main reason is that I don't know which department I could work in after being recruited. I estimate that there is a high probability that I would be assigned to the Dark Division. As I told you, I don't like working in the Dark Division."

Kakashi nodded. "Yes, you really shouldn't have gone to the Anbu. The Anbu isn't suitable for you."

Actually, given Yu Ming's personality, joining the Anbu would be quite suitable.

Yu Ming just didn't like it.

Kakashi thought the Third Hokage's approach to Yu Ming was simply a recruitment ploy and he hadn't given it much thought.

Chapter 49

However, for more than a month, the team has only received D-level missions, which are either catching cats and dogs or picking up trash and weeds.

For the past month or so, Yu Ming has been sending his shadow clones to all the missions, while he himself has been training in the back mountains of Konoha.

What's strange about the Third Generation is that, for the past month or so, he has been coming back every day to play a game of shogi with Yu Ming.

Yu Ming couldn't figure out what the third generation wanted to do, but Yu Ming's shogi skills were quite good.

Each time, I can talk to the third generation for more than an hour.

The Third Generation didn't mind that Yu Ming always used shadow clones to complete his missions.

On this day, while Yu Ming was cultivating in the back mountain, Uzuki Yugao appeared in front of him.

However, this time his body was wrapped in bandages.

Yu Ming frowned, walked over, and asked, "Sister Xi Yan, what happened?"

"Who can hurt you?"

Although Uzuki Yugao is only a special Jonin, her strength is not bad.

Aside from the last time, Yu Ming couldn't believe who could have injured her so badly, with bandages wrapped around her chest and abdomen.

Uzuki Yugao removed her Anbu mask, her face somewhat pale.

Seeing her like this, Yu Ming became even more serious.

"Sister Xiyan, lie down, let me check your wound."

Uzuki Yugao didn't say anything, just nodded, because Yuming had already seen her, and Uzuki Yugao had no secrets from Yuming.

Moreover, she knew very well that Yu Ming really had no other intentions.

Lying on the grass, Yu Ming unwrapped the bandages, revealing a wound that had stopped bleeding, but the wound was still quite gruesome.

"It seems you're seriously injured. I can use the Palm Immortal Technique, is Sister Xiyan alright?"

Yu Ming had previously studied at a hospital for a period of time, learning the Palm Healing Technique of medical ninjas.

In terms of medical skills, he was even better than the doctors at Konoha Hospital. Only three people at Konoha Hospital knew the Palm Healing Technique, and Yu Ming had also consulted a lot of information and learned it from a doctor-ninja who was willing to teach him.

After a year of training, even the doctors who had previously taught him were now ashamed of their own abilities.

Therefore, Uzuki Yugao had complete trust in Yuming's medical ninjutsu.

With his hands covering the wound, green medical chakra was continuously being released.

Uzuki Yugao's somewhat gruesome wounds began to slowly heal.

While treating Uzuki Yugao, Yu Ming asked, "Sister Yugao, would you mind telling me what happened?"

Yu Ming knew that Uzuki Yugao was now a squad leader in the Anbu, and there were some missions that she might not be able to tell Yu Ming.

Uzuki Yugao remained silent for a while, then looked at Yu Ming, who was seriously treating her, without paying any attention to her.

He then said, "A type of ninja who specializes in sucking blood has appeared in a town in the Land of Grass."

"They are cruel and very strong. They have taken over the entire town. After getting used to the blood of the town's residents, they now have three people with the strength of Jonin and five with the strength of Chunin."

"Kusagakure didn't have enough ninjas, so they asked Konoha for help. The Hokage ordered me to lead a team to provide support, but the three ninjas I brought were all killed by them. They all died so that I could get out."

After saying that, tears streamed down Uzuki Yugao's face.

Three comrades died at the hands of those ninjas in order to save Uzuki Yugao from death.

She was very upset and came to find Yuming after getting a simple bandage at the hospital.

In the past, whenever she had something upsetting, she would come to Yuming to talk.

While treating Uzuki Yugao, Yu Ming comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, the village will definitely avenge your comrades. I was wondering why there was a special chakra in your blood; it turns out it's corpse chakra."

"This death-like chakra."

Because everyone in the ninja world has chakra, even ordinary people have chakra, it's just that ordinary people don't know how to use it.
