Konoha: Intentionally losing to Hinata at the start

Kakashi didn't mean to scold Yu Ming. Rather, for Yu Ming, swordsmanship was merely an additional means of combat, not an enhancement of his strength. It simply provided him with another way to kill.

Yu Ming understood, so he calmly smiled and said, "I really want to cultivate my swordsmanship to the point where it can become the most outstanding fighting style among all my methods, but unfortunately, it is unlikely."

Yu Ming's swordsmanship is already very high, even higher than that of Mifune, a samurai from the Land of Iron.

However, his swordsmanship is indeed not as outstanding as ninjutsu, genjutsu, or taijutsu.

Just like the Third Raikage, he clearly had many attack methods, including sealing techniques, taijutsu, ninjutsu, and even advanced lightning release like black lightning, but what people remember most about him is not these, but the legend of his strongest spear and strongest shield.

The same is true of the First Hokage. He clearly mastered many ninjutsu, and his sealing techniques, ninjutsu, and genjutsu were all highly advanced. Even his taijutsu was outstanding. However, what people ultimately remember most about him is his Wood Release.

It's because in other aspects, he's not as outstanding as he is in Wood Release.

After Yu Ming defeated Gato, the bridge in the Land of Waves was completed in just over a week.

Tazner originally intended to name the bridge the Yuming Bridge, but Yuming refused, as he didn't really want his name to appear in front of people in that form.

After recuperating in Tazuna's village for more than a week, Kakashi returned to Konoha with Sasuke and Naruto, who had recovered.

On the way, Yu Ming walked calmly beside Kakashi.

Sasuke and Naruto glanced at Yu Ming from time to time.

········Requesting 0 flowers·······

By this time, the two of them already knew how powerful Yu Ming was; he was at least stronger than an elite Jonin, and even stronger than Kakashi.

This further fueled Sasuke and Naruto's competitive spirit.

They were in the same team and the same age, yet they were so much weaker than Yu Ming; they were definitely not happy about it.

For some reason, Sakura would steal glances at Yu Ming from time to time, and each time she saw his indifferent expression, she felt a little disappointed.

Kakashi, walking among the group, also sensed the awkward atmosphere.

But just then, as Naruto was walking, he noticed that Sakura's clothes seemed different from before.

Sakura used to wear a red dress.

But now, she is dressed in men's clothing.

..

That's right, Sakura is still wearing Yu Ming's clothes.

She originally had her own clothes, but for some reason, she didn't return Yu Ming's clothes to him and continued to wear them.

Yu Ming didn't ask her to return it, because he had no intention of getting it back; it was just a piece of clothing.

Naruto's words instantly drew the attention of Kakashi and Sasuke.

Sakura paused for a moment, glanced at her clothes, and said with a flushed face, "Well, my clothes had some problems during the last battle. These are Yu Ming's clothes, and I forgot to change them."

Sakura felt a little embarrassed.

Naruto didn't think about it any further and said, "These clothes don't suit you; they're too big."

As soon as Naruto finished speaking, Sakura got angry and said, "Naruto, are you saying I'm too short?"

"No, I didn't."

Naruto realized his slip of the tongue, but Sakura couldn't listen to his explanation anymore and punched him.

Even without learning superhuman strength techniques, Sakura's strength is terrifying. After all, she's capable of pulling out a mast and using it as a weapon, so her strength is already quite formidable.

With one punch, Naruto was sent flying dozens of meters before crashing into a tree.

Naruto regretted saying those words. "Sakura, I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Seeing Sakura standing before him with clenched fists, Naruto quickly apologized, realizing that if he didn't, Sakura would definitely beat him to death. 7.

Chapter 77

Yu Ming's height is indeed relatively tall for his age, at 1.73 meters.

I was 1.7 meters tall before, but now, six months later, 1.73 meters is normal.

At that time, Sasuke was only about 1.5 meters tall, Naruto was even shorter than 1.5 meters, and Sakura was only about 1.48 meters tall.

In this team, Kakashi is the tallest, standing at 1.81 meters, while Yu Ming is already very close to Kakashi's height.

Yu Ming's height makes him look like he's not even in the same age group as Sasuke and the others.

Therefore, Yu Ming's clothes naturally looked very big and loose on Sakura.

Sasuke looked at Yu Ming curiously, wondering what kind of battle had caused Sakura's clothes to be torn.

However, he didn't want to ask.

Yu Ming didn't want to explain anything.

He made up an excuse before, but in the end he didn't say it.

Along the way, Naruto and Sakura bickered and played around all the way back to Konoha.

After Yu Ming and Kakashi completed the mission, they went straight home.

Yu Ming actually found this kind of life quite interesting.

In the following days, the group began another D-level mission.

For more than a month, they were working on this task.

On Konoha Street, Yu Ming had no missions that day and was going out to buy some ninja tools.

Just as they turned the corner, they saw Kankuro grabbing Konohamaru's clothes.

Yu Ming paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then walked over.

Seeing Yu Ming approaching, Sakura quickly said, "Yu Ming, these people are ninjas from Sunagakure. I think they are invaders."

Sakura, who was wondering what to do, instantly found her anchor when Yu Ming appeared.

When Naruto saw Yu Ming arrive, although he was somewhat unconvinced, he knew that at this moment, only Yu Ming could save Konohamaru.

Konohamaru's two companions were curious about who this person was.

Yu Ming walked over calmly.

When Temari saw Yu Ming, her face flushed. "He's such a handsome man."

Kankuro saw Yu Ming and frowned, saying, "Hey, kid, do you want to get involved?"

Yu Ming didn't speak, but calmly walked to Sakura and Naruto's side and asked, "What happened?"

He did not directly intervene to save Konohamaru.

Sakura explained what had just happened. After listening, Yu Ming turned to look at Kankuro and calmly said, "Put the person down, or you and the person in the tree will be in trouble."

Sasuke, who was about to make a move, paused for a moment and asked, "Is Yu Ming talking about me?"

Sasuke couldn't understand why he was so unlucky.

Just then, a voice suddenly appeared beside him: "Kankuro, put him down, you disgrace to the village."

When Kankuro saw Gaara, he trembled and said, "I... Gaara, this... he bumped into me."

"I'm sorry."

Kankuro was terrified of Gaara. He had personally witnessed how terrifying Gaara's power was when he unleashed it; it could truly kill.

Sasuke was completely stunned. He never expected Gaara to appear next to him, and at such terrifying speed.

"This guy's speed is the same as Kakashi's."

"He looks the same age as me, so why is he stronger than me? Yu Ming is one thing, but this guy is stronger than me too?"

Sasuke suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

When he saw Yu Ming's strength last time, he felt a great sense of urgency. Now he realized that not only was Yu Ming stronger than him, but there was also a ninja from Sunagakure who was stronger than him.

Although they had never fought, Sasuke could tell from Gaara's speed that Gaara was definitely stronger than him.

Kankuro also let go of Konohamaru; he was genuinely afraid of Gaara.

After Gaara jumped down from the tree, he looked at Yu Ming and said, "Sorry."

Yu Ming calmly said, "It's nothing, but you're from Sunagakure, right? Why are you in Konoha?"

Yu Ming naturally knew why, but he needed to conceal his knowledge.

Temari turned to look at Yu Ming, her face flushed, and said, "Don't you know? We're here to participate in the Chunin Exams, and this is our pass."

Temari has a good impression of Yu Ming, and Yu Ming's strength can be seen from Gaara's attitude.

Sakura and the others were somewhat surprised. "The Chunin Exams? Are they about to begin?"

Sakura was aware of the Chunin Exams.

But Naruto had no idea and asked, "What are the Chunin Exams?"

Konohamaru, who had been put down, explained, "Naruto-nii, don't you know? As long as you pass the Chunin Exams, you can be promoted from Genin to Chunin."

Upon hearing Konohamaru's explanation, Naruto's eyes lit up. "Great! I want to participate too!"

Gaara turned to look at Yu Ming and asked, "My name is Gaara. You seem very interested in me. What's your name?"

Gaara sensed that Yu Ming was very strong, but he didn't know exactly how strong he was.

Moreover, because of the Sand Village's plan, he is currently holding back from taking action.

Yu Ming said calmly, "Yu Ming".

At this moment, Naruto said, "My name is Naruto."

Gaara glanced at Naruto and said, "I have no interest in you."

After saying that, he left immediately.

Sasuke sat in the tree, listening to the conversation between Yu Ming and Gaara.

He frowned, feeling that there seemed to be quite a few people his age who were stronger than him.

"I must increase my strength; I am still too weak."

Naruto was speechless, looking at Konohamaru and asking, "Konohamaru, do I look that weak?"

Konohamaru laughed and said, "It seems that Naruto is still not as strong as Yu Ming."
