Konoha: Intentionally losing to Hinata at the start

Even many Kage-level powerhouses might not be able to unleash it.

Therefore, Anko definitely thinks that Yu Ming's strength is above that of a Jonin. If Anko thinks that Yu Ming is at the Jonin level, that's fine, since everyone already knows that.

But if people find out that Yu Ming's strength is at the Kage level, it will be quite troublesome.

Looking at Hongdou, Yuming thought for a moment and said, "I hope you won't spread what happened today."

Yu Ming was very serious. Because he was taller than Hong Dou, he looked very intimidating.

Hongdou was intimidated by Yuming's imposing aura. She clenched her fists and stubbornly resisted his force.

Hongdou looked up at Yuming and asked, "Why did you do this? If people knew about your strength, it would definitely be a great benefit to you."

Yu Ming said seriously, "Some people like it, but some people don't. I don't like it either, so please don't tell anyone about my affairs, including the Third Hokage. I think you were once Orochimaru's disciple, so you should know very well how much trouble this would cause if it were to be revealed, right?"

Hongdou thought for a moment, and seeing Yuming's serious gaze, she felt a little weak and had no idea what to do.

Facing Yu Ming felt even more terrifying to her than facing Orochimaru.

"Then you need to tell me if your current strength has reached the Kage level? And tell me how many people know your strength."

"Also, how did you know that I am Orochimaru's disciple?"

Yu Ming calmly said, "The answer to the first question is what you guessed, and I already knew the answer to the second one when you fought Orochimaru just now."

Hongdou frowned and said, "You're talking nonsense. Why didn't I notice it just now?"

But as soon as she said that, Yu Ming looked at her with disdain and said, "What do you think?"

Hongdou's face flushed red instantly. With her strength, how could she possibly have sensed Yuming's presence?

Yu Ming looked at her and continued, "After all, I saved your life. Keeping this secret is how you repay my kindness."

Hongdou could only nod. "Alright, but why don't you want others to know your strength?"

Yu Ming looked at Hong Dou and chuckled, "What do you think?"

Hongdou knew why, but she felt that with Yuming's strength, he didn't need to worry about those things.

Yu Ming leaned against a tree trunk and said calmly, "Well, I prefer a more peaceful life. If my strength were exposed, my life would become very noisy."

"And we also have to do a lot of unnecessary things, I think you can understand that."

At this moment, Hongdou completely failed to believe that Yuming possessed the mindset expected of a twelve-year-old...

"When you say that, I even feel that you are not a twelve-year-old, and that I don't think as much as you do."

Yu Ming chuckled and said, "That's because you're straightforward."

What Yu Ming really wanted to say was that you're rather simple-minded.

But Hongdou was quite pleased with what she was told, saying, "I am indeed quite straightforward."

"Alright then, you saved me, and it's not a big deal, so I'll agree."

Yu Ming looked at Hong Dou and said, "You'd better keep your promise. After all, you're a Jonin. Don't feel ashamed of breaking your word."

He laughed and said, "Of course, I'll bet my title as a Jonin."

Yu Ming corrected him, saying, "He is a special Jonin."

Red Bean looked a little embarrassed. "That's still a Jonin."

Yu Ming nodded and looked at Hong Dou, saying, "The Anbu should be here soon, right? You should know what to say, right?"

Red Bean nodded. "This huge crater was caused by your release of a powerful fire jutsu."

Yu Ming nodded. "If they ask you anything, just say I released a Fire Dragon Flame Bullet. This ninjutsu is capable of causing that kind of damage. Also, I used Chidori. Remember that."

Being taught to lie by a twelve-year-old made Hongdou feel really embarrassed. "I'm not stupid, you don't need to teach me how to do it step by step."

But Yu Ming frowned. "Be serious. Those Anbu members aren't stupid. The Fire Dragon Flame Bullet plus Chidori is enough to cause this situation. Don't say that I defeated Orochimaru. Just say that Orochimaru never intended to kill us."

Hongdou nodded. "Okay, I understand."

Yu Ming thought for a moment, "So, should I wait for the Anbu to arrive?"

Hongdou nodded. "You did it. What are you going to do if you don't stay? Aren't you all alone now? In this Death Forest, you were abandoned by your three teammates, weren't you?"

Hongdou looked at Yuming with a meaningful expression.

It was rare for her to find something to mock Yu Ming.

Yu Ming's words just now made her feel like a child, while Yu Ming was the adult.

Chapter 87

Looking at Hongdou, Qunyu Ming smiled and said, "You seem to hold a grudge. I don't want to explain anything. Just wait here. I'm not in a hurry to go back anyway."

Yu Ming would occasionally sense Sasuke and the others' chakra, and knew their current location very well, so he knew that they had not entered the central tower at all.

Yu Ming sat directly on the tree trunk and began his meditation again.

Yi Hongdou thought for a moment, then sat down next to Yu Ming and asked him with some curiosity, "How exactly did you cultivate? Why are you so powerful? How did you learn the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique?"

"Seven. Many people want to learn this ninjutsu, but unfortunately, no one except the Fourth Hokage can learn it."

Yu Ming looked at Hong Dou and said, "You talk too much."

Hongdou put her hand on Yuming's shoulder and smiled, "Don't be so rigid at such a young age."

Ichiyu Akira shrugged and shook off Hongdou's hand.

“Practicing ninjutsu is just a hobby of mine. I guess you don’t usually spend much time practicing ninjutsu, otherwise with your talent, you would never be a special jonin.”

Yu Ming believed that someone who could be chosen by Orochimaru as a disciple must have talent, and not a small one at that.

Actually, you can tell from the fact that she released Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique that she has a high talent for Fire Release.

It's just that he may not have spent enough time cultivating, and he was also affected by the cursed seal, so he couldn't improve his strength.

Because the cursed seal Orochimaru had placed on Anko was still very primitive and incomplete, it had no effect other than causing her pain from time to time.

It's nothing like Sasuke's, which can use the cursed seal.

Although he experienced pain from time to time, it was because Sasuke was initially unable to effectively control the cursed seal.

This thing on Hongdou just adds a lot of burden to her.

Thinking of this, Yu Ming turned his head and glanced at Hongdou's neck.

But seeing Yu Ming staring so intently at his neck, Hong Dou assumed it was somewhere else.

Her face flushed red. "What are you looking at?"

"Let me tell you, don't go astray at such a young age."

Yu Ming frowned, but quickly realized that Hong Dou had misunderstood. He explained, "I just wanted to see what kind of curse mark Orochimaru left on you. Although you have a good figure, I'm not so much someone who is so much older than me."

Hearing this, Hongdou got a little angry. "Are you implying that I'm too old?"

Yu Ming smiled and said, "You're a bit older than me, although you're technically just a young man."

Hongdou certainly didn't have any special feelings for Yuming. She was already twenty-four years old, and she definitely wouldn't like a twelve-year-old kid. At least, she didn't have that thought at all right now.

Right now, she just finds it a bit unbelievable that Yu Ming possesses such great strength at such a young age.

Although Hongdou now knows that she misunderstood Yuming, she still feels a little embarrassed.

Seeing that Hongdou looked a little angry, Yuming, worried that she might betray him later, laughed and said, "Actually, I'm just curious about what kind of curse mark Orochimaru placed on Hongdou. I think it must have affected your performance."

Sure enough, as soon as Yu Ming finished speaking, Hong Dou forgot how she had been talking to Yu Ming and quickly asked, "You actually know about the cursed seal. It seems Kakashi has told you a lot of things."

Kakashi was aware of the cursed mark on her body, after all, he was the captain of the Anbu, and he was the one who protected her when the cursed mark was sealed.

Even Tsunade was still in Konoha back then.

Yu Ming smiled and said, "He told me some things, but I think this cursed seal must be Orochimaru researching some special ninjutsu. It's just that the one on you is definitely a failure."

Red Bean remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "You're right. This cursed seal was indeed Orochimaru's plan to use to control natural energy."

"It's just that the cursed seal is difficult to control; Orochimaru's setup for the cursed seal wasn't good enough at that time."

Yu Ming smiled and said, "So you became the test subject."

Hongdou glared at Yuming, who just chuckled and didn't go too far.

Yu Ming laughed and said, "Actually, this cursed seal is not only used to control natural energy, but it also seals a part of Orochimaru's soul power. After he dies in other places, he can be resurrected with the help of your cursed seal."

Hongdou frowned; she didn't know much about it.

"To be resurrected using a cursed seal?"

Yu Ming nodded. "Because I am a sensory ninja, I can easily sense Orochimaru's soul power from your cursed seal. Although it is very faint, and you can't sense it at all without careful perception, it is definitely there."

"So I guess you are also one of his pawns. If something happens in the future, you will be his way out."

Hearing Yu Ming say that, Hong Dou suddenly felt disgusted.

"How could you say such disgusting things? It's really upsetting."

Yu Ming smiled and said, "Then how should I put it? Actually, Orochimaru is a disgusting person. When you were fighting just now, I could stand by and watch. The scene was, ugh, a million times more disgusting than me, okay?"

In fact, Yu Ming had teleported here from several kilometers away, but he knew very well how the battle was going on, and Orochimaru was indeed quite disgusting.

So Yu Ming isn't wrong to say that.

Red beans are definitely not disgusting; maybe she's just used to them.

"It's not that disgusting!"

Yu Ming now thought about Orochimaru's disgusting actions and felt more and more embarrassed. "Actually, you're pretty disgusting too."

Yu Ming suddenly said this.

Just as he finished saying 237, Hongdou next to him got angry and said, "Yuming, you've gone too far! You actually called me disgusting."

Yu Ming looked at Hong Dou and thought about her ninjutsu, which were basically all related to snakes. Although they were much better than Orochimaru's, they were still somewhat disgusting.

So Yu Ming said with a wry smile, "Although I really want to say that you're not disgusting, I really can't accept your ninjutsu."

Anko was also a little embarrassed. Her ninjutsu was basically taught to her by Orochimaru. What could she do?

No one had ever called him disgusting before. What's so disgusting about ninjas? But after Yu Ming said it, it does seem to have that connotation.

However, she didn't want to admit it, glaring at Yu Ming and saying, "Are you still a ninja? Isn't it normal that many ninja techniques seem disgusting to ordinary people?"

Yu Ming waved his hand and said, "Don't say that. Some ninja techniques are indeed disgusting, but such ninjas are a minority. Most ninjas are quite normal, especially me. My ninja techniques are not like that."
