Konoha: Intentionally losing to Hinata at the start

With his head down and his hands placed in front of him, 39 seemed somewhat hesitant and uneasy.

After a long while, she finally managed to utter a weak voice, "I'm sorry, Yu Mingjun, it's all because of me that you got hurt."

Yu Ming clutched his stomach; he had long since recovered.

His body has an incredibly strong ability to recover.

So Yu Ming looked up at Hinata and smiled, "It's nothing, don't overthink it. It has nothing to do with you. It's all because I'm not good enough."

As soon as Yu Ming finished speaking, Hinata raised her head and looked at Yu Ming. "No, Yu Ming-kun is very powerful. I felt it from the beginning. Yu Ming-kun is definitely not what he usually appears to be. I think Yu Ming-kun is very strong, even stronger than me."

"I always felt that Yu Mingjun was letting me win."

Hinata wasn't sure, but she always felt that Yu Ming had deliberately let her hit him during that last attack.

Yu Ming smiled calmly and said, "You're overthinking it. Your Soft Fist is too fast. A normal person can't even react to it. You should just change your personality. When it's time to strike, you should strike."

Yu Ming looked at Hinata with a smile.

He certainly didn't have any romantic feelings for Hinata; he just didn't want Hinata to keep thinking about the topic from earlier.

Hinata, though her face flushed, nodded and said, "Yes, thank you, Yu Ming-kun."

After saying that, Yu Ming didn't say anything more to Hinata.

The two remained silent for a long time.

Yu Ming didn't speak to Hinata until the end of the assessment.

The final results came out, and Yu Ming got a score that was neither high nor low, placing him in the middle of the class.

After school, Yu Ming headed towards a training ground as usual.

He put down his schoolbag, sat on the edge of the training ground, and held his face in his hands, watching the ninjas training in the distance.

He had only been sitting down for a short while when someone appeared next to him.

This person was none other than Kakashi, who had been following Yu Ming all along.

"Why are you here instead of going home after school?"

Yu Ming had already noticed him coming, but he didn't even turn around, his eyes fixed on the ninjas training in the training field.

"Come here and see what you can learn."

Kakashi paused for a moment. "Study?"

Yu Ming hummed in agreement.

Kakashi asked curiously, "What can I learn here? Do you want to train in taijutsu?"

"I think your physical skills, as demonstrated in today's practical assessment, have already surpassed those of your classmates."

Kakashi knew that Yu Ming had discovered him today, so he went straight to the point.

Looking at the ninjas on the field, Yu Ming said calmly, "No, I want to see if they can use ninjutsu, even the lowest level ninjutsu. I want to master it."

Kakashi paused for a moment. He was now genuinely curious about Yu Ming, and also had some doubts in his mind, but he didn't ask directly.

Instead, he asked, "Did you learn any ninjutsu?"

"Hehehe, you've learned the Three Bodies Technique and the Great Fireball Technique, aren't you amazing?"

Yu Ming's tone finally sounded like a child's.

Kakashi was once again astonished by Yu Ming. "Great Fireball Technique? That's a C-rank ninjutsu. Although it's considered a basic ninjutsu, even genin might not be able to unleash it. Are you sure you've really learned it?"

If a six-year-old child can really unleash a giant fireball, then he is truly a genius. The most important thing is that he does it without any guidance.

Yu Ming calmly responded with a "hmm".

Kakashi watched as Yu Ming intently watched the sparring match on the training field, and a great deal of curiosity arose in his heart about Yu Ming.

He checked Yu Ming's identity and there were absolutely no problems.

Right now, he's only interested in Yu Ming's talent.

After Kakashi asked Yu Ming if he had learned it, he didn't say anything more. He stood beside Yu Ming and watched the ninjas sparring in the training ground with him until it got dark and all the ninjas left.

Yu Ming sighed, "Alas, none of them used ninjutsu today."

Yu Ming picked up his schoolbag, somewhat disappointed.

Kakashi felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw Yu Ming's disappointed look.

Because he discovered that Yu Ming was an orphan whose parents died during the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage.

He is currently all alone, and is a commoner ninja.

Naturally, no one taught him ninjutsu.

From the moment he left until now, Yu Ming hadn't looked at Kakashi's face.

Kakashi had been silently watching Yu Ming carry his schoolbag. After taking a few steps, he suddenly called out, "Yu Ming, wait a minute."

Yu Ming stopped and turned to look at Kakashi, somewhat puzzled. "Is there something else?"

Seeing Yu Ming's puzzled look, Kakashi seemed to have made up his mind. "You just said that you've learned the Great Fireball Technique, is that true?"

Yu Ming nodded. "Yes, what's wrong?"

There's no point in hiding it; Yu Ming actually knows many more ninjutsu, but they are all very low-level ninjutsu, none of them exceeding C-rank.

The Great Fireball Technique is the most powerful of them all.

Kakashi said seriously, "Do you know who I am?"

Hearing Kakashi ask this, Yu Ming was taken aback. He naturally knew that he was Kakashi, but Yu Ming still calmly said, "I don't know, but I know that you must be a Chunin or above."

Kakashi smiled, walked over, and stood in front of Yu Ming. "How did you know?"

Yu understood at a glance: "Because you're wearing a ninja vest that only Chunin and above can wear."

Kakashi paused for a moment, looked at his clothes, and smiled, saying, "Oh, you've got quite a bit of knowledge."

Yu Ming looked at Kakashi and said, "This is not a matter of knowledge; it was taught in school."

Kakashi smiled and patted Yu Ming on the shoulder. "My name is Kakashi. I think you should..."

Before Kakashi could finish speaking, Yu Ming interrupted, "Never heard of it."

Kakashi's lips twitched slightly, looking somewhat embarrassed, before he could finish speaking.

However, he soon decided not to bother arguing with Yu Ming, this kid.

Looking at Mokumoto, he said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know, but you just need to know that I know a lot of ninjutsu."

Upon hearing about ninjutsu, Yu Ming, going along with Kakashi's wishes, showed a look of great admiration, "Really? So many ninjutsu?"

Kakashi was pleased to see Yu Ming's expression and nodded, saying, "Yes, a lot of ninjutsu."

Yu Ming looked at Kakashi and asked, "Then, can you teach me?"

Chapter 5

Yu Ming cooperated perfectly, his eyes shining with admiration.

Kakashi was very satisfied.

He thought to himself, "Although he looks quite mature, he's still just a kid after all."

Actually, Yu Ming also felt a little ashamed of doing this, but this was the normal reaction for someone his age.

Kakashi said in a pretentious tone, "No, there are certain rules to learning ninjutsu. I can only pass it on to my students."

Yu Ming paused for a moment, then lowered his head somewhat dejectedly. "Really? That's true. How can something as important as ninjutsu be easily taught to others?"

"Then I'll be going now, Kakashi."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Yu Ming vanished from Kakashi's sight.

Kakashi was stunned when he saw Yu Ming suddenly disappear. It took him a long time to realize, "Shun, it's the Body Flicker Technique!"

"And this is my Instantaneous Movement Technique. When? Was it that day?"

Kakashi remembered that when he first met Yu Ming, he used the Body Flicker Technique when he left.

"He mastered it in just one day? And he even mastered his physical abilities, he's a genius."

Yu Ming regretted using the Instantaneous Movement Technique.

Hundreds of meters away, Yu Ming stood on a platform, frowning. "What a blunder. I forgot that guy was right next to me."

"I'll definitely have to avoid that guy next time I see him, really~".

"Why are you avoiding me?"

Before Yu Ming could finish speaking, Kakashi appeared in front of him, arms crossed, looking at Yu Ming with a meaningful expression.

Yu Ming was a little embarrassed. "It's nothing."

"Lord Kakashi is amazing! He arrived so quickly, hahaha."

Yu Ming scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

Kakashi, seeing Yu Ming's reaction, chuckled and asked, "Why are you running?"

Yu Ming felt a little embarrassed. "I didn't run away. I just forgot to lock the door when I went out today, and I was afraid there might be a thief."

"I'll stop here for now, Lord Kakashi, I'm leaving now."

He then disappeared again using the Body Flicker Technique.

Since Kakashi has already discovered him, he no longer needs to hide his Body Flicker Technique.

Kakashi chuckled meaningfully, "Interesting, this brat is quite interesting."

"She has great talent. It would be such a pity if such talent were wasted."

Kakashi had barely finished speaking when he disappeared again.

Kakashi soon arrived at Yu Ming's house ahead of schedule.

Because he had looked up Yu Ming's information, he knew exactly where Yu Ming's home was.

I sat in Yu Ming's courtyard waiting for him.

A few minutes later, Yu Ming opened the courtyard gate and looked at Kakashi with a helpless expression. "Lord Kakashi, what's the matter?"
