Konoha: Intentionally losing to Hinata at the start

Why did Jiraiya take these two with him?

Jiraiya thought for a moment and said, "I brought Naruto with me because I wanted to take him away from the village. I was worried that someone would try to harm him. I brought Yu Ming with me because I wanted to see if he had the ability to become the same as the Fourth Hokage. Besides, didn't the old man want to train him to become the Sixth Hokage? It's also necessary for him to get to know Tsunade in advance."

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were aware of Akatsuki's existence.

Moreover, it is indeed safer to be with Jiraiya than in the village.

So the two nodded and said, "Okay."

After the two agreed, Jiraiya picked up the binoculars again and said, "That's settled then, I'm going to look at the scenery."

The two knew what Jiraiya meant by "enjoying the scenery" and scolded him, "You're over fifty years old, you should be more serious. You're one of the Three Ninja."

Unfortunately, Jiraiya completely ignored the two of them.

The two were helpless. Jiraiya was originally very free in the village, without much restraint, and even the Third Hokage couldn't do anything about him.

What can they do?

After the two left, Jiraiya put down his binoculars, looked into the distance, and frowned. "Yu Ming, I wonder if you are now capable of carrying on Konoha's power?"

Becoming Hokage requires more than just strength.

Political talent is also required.

You also need to have enough patience to stay in the village.

Like him, although he is very strong, he has no intention of staying in Konoha. On the contrary, Tsunade would be more suitable.

Born into a political family, he was the most politically capable of the three from a young age.

Therefore, Jiraiya wanted to test whether Yumei truly possessed such qualities.

In terms of strength alone, Yu Ming is already more than capable. In fact, after seeing Yu Ming's ninjutsu that day, he felt that, in terms of strength alone, Yu Ming might already be very close to him.

But he wanted to know if Yu Ming was determined to become Hokage.

If not, Jiraiya planned to have Tsunade influence him more.

Jiraiya knew best that some people were very strong and had good political skills, but they didn't really want to become Hokage.

He always felt that Yu Ming was that kind of person.

Moreover, allowing Yu Ming to have more contact with Tsunade could also influence him.

The same goes for Naruto. Naruto's goal was to become Hokage, and he also wanted Naruto to influence Yu Ming.

Among the young people of Naruto's generation, Jiraiya, like the Third Hokage, thought that the most outstanding person was Yu Ming.

While Yu Ming was meditating, Kakashi sent him a message through the eagle.

Yu Ming was sitting cross-legged in his room on the second floor when he heard the message from the eagle. He walked to the balcony, frowned, and asked, "What does Kakashi want from me?"

However, Yu Ming still went out.

They quickly arrived at Kakashi's side, where Sasuke was also present.

Sasuke was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Yu Ming and asked, "Yu Ming, why are you here too?"

Yu Ming looked at Kakashi and asked, "Kakashi-sensei called you here. Is there something you need?"

Sasuke explained, "Kakashi said he wanted to buy something to commemorate his comrades."

Yu Ming nodded. "I see. It must be a tribute to someone named Uchiha Obito. He was Kakashi-sensei's former comrade-in-arms. It seems that Kakashi-sensei entrusted this Sharingan to him before he died."

Sasuke wasn't quite clear about this matter. He had previously thought that Kakashi had activated it himself. Although Sasuke was a member of the Uchiha clan, the Uchiha clan was gone before he could fully mature.

So I'm not very clear about this kind of thing.

Chapter 110

Sasuke finally understood the story behind Kakashi's eye.

However, Kakashi looked at Yu Ming and said, "Yu Ming, there's something I'm a little worried about. Sasuke, wait here for a moment, I'll take Yu Ming over to deal with it."

Inside the offering shop, Kakashi suddenly spoke to Sasuke.

Sasuke, remembering Kurenai and Asuma's departure, frowned and asked, "Did something happen?"

Kakashi nodded. "It's nothing serious, just a little worried. You stay here and see what the Uchiha clan usually needs for their offerings, and Yu Ming and I will take care of it."

After saying that, he looked at Yu Ming, who nodded.

Yu Ming roughly knew what Kakashi was going to do.

Sasuke looked at the spot where the two had disappeared and thought to himself, "It seems my strength is still too weak. Kakashi doesn't even trust me to help him."

However, Sasuke did not hate Yu Ming this time, because he knew that Yu Ming was stronger than Kakashi, and no matter how hard he tried, even if he awakened the Sharingan, he was not as strong as Yu Ming.

Yu Ming followed Kakashi to a lake in Konoha.

Upon arriving there, they saw Kisame Hoshigaki unleash a water-style ninjutsu attack on Asuma.

Yu Ming frowned and said, "Kakashi-sensei~".

Kakashi nodded. "Okay, go ahead."

After Kisame Hoshigaki completed the hand seals, he used "Water Release: Water Shark Bullet Technique".

A column of water rose from the lake, the high-pressure water jet rushing towards Asuma, whose arm had already been slashed by Kisame Hoshigaki.

Asuma, however, was unable to use ninjutsu due to his injured arm.

Moreover, he is proficient in Fire Release and Wind Release, but is countered by Water Release.

Just as the water column was about to hit Asuma, Yu Ming appeared beside him and quickly formed hand seals with one hand, "Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique".

With just three seals, Yu Ming completed the hand seals at lightning speed. A roaring water dragon burst forth from the lake, its massive mouth opening wide and swallowing Kisame Hoshigaki's Water Shark Bullet whole.

The two jets of water collided with a loud "boom!"

The Water Dragon Bullet was extremely powerful. After colliding with the Water Shark Bullet Technique, it still had enough power to rush towards Kisame Hoshigaki.

At that moment, Kisame Hoshigaki's lips curled up slightly. "Interesting, this little guy."

In the realm of water-based techniques, he actually sensed that Yu Ming was comparable to himself.

Just as the Water Dragon Bullet was about to reach Kisame Hoshigaki, he raised his Samehada sword and aimed it at the charging Water Dragon.

The immense force shattered the water dragon bullet.

After shattering the Water Dragon Bullet, Kisame Hoshigaki looked at Yu Ming and laughed, "This kid is not bad. He can actually use a ninjutsu of the Water Dragon Bullet level, and its power is even stronger than my Water Shark Bullet. Itachi, your village really has a lot of geniuses."

Uchiha Itachi was standing in the lake, with Kakashi behind him.

Itachi glanced at Yu Ming and recognized him, but he wasn't very familiar with Yu Ming.

Back when Sasuke was still in the Ninja Academy, he never mentioned Yu Ming to him. Itachi Uchiha had only seen Yu Ming once or twice when he was taking Sasuke to school.

It's just that the very ordinary student back then has now become so powerful.

The Water Dragon Bullet Technique I just used was a B-rank ninjutsu.

To have mastered such ninjutsu at the age of twelve shows that his talent was definitely not as ordinary as it was during his time at the ninja academy.

Itachi said in a low voice, "Kakashi Hatake, this child is your student, isn't he?"

Kakashi nodded. "Itachi, I didn't expect you to dare to return to Konoha."

Itachi Uchiha has had his Sharingan active since the beginning.

He said very calmly, "I came to Konoha to retrieve something."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi interpreted it as a provocation from Itachi Uchiha.

Of course, Kisame Hoshigaki also felt that this was Itachi Uchiha's provocation against Kakashi.

They came here to capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Uchiha Itachi didn't offer any explanation and prepared to fight Kakashi. "Kakashi, this eye must be putting a lot of pressure on you."

"However, the strongest power of the Uchiha clan is like this."

After saying that, Itachi Uchiha activated his Mangekyou Sharingan.

Kisame Hoshigaki, gripping Samehada, charged toward Yu Ming, saying, "It would be very interesting to kill this child."

Kisame Hoshigaki admired Yu Ming's water-style ninjutsu, so he thought that the best way to appreciate Yu Ming was to kill him.

Seeing Kisame Hoshigaki rush forward, Yu Ming made a fist with his hand.

In an instant, a samurai sword appeared in Yu Ming's hand.

It was the one Kakashi gave him.

This is actually an attempt to use a chakra blade.

········Requesting 0 flowers·······

Made of special materials.

Yu Ming calmly said, "Teacher Asuma, please stand further away. Your arm is injured, so it's difficult for you to form hand seals. Please stand aside and assist me."

Asuma and Yuuki, who are currently at 964, still don't know Yu Ming's true strength.

However, they also knew that Yu Ming possessed the Flying Thunder God Technique, so his strength was definitely at the level of a Jonin, or even possibly similar to theirs.

So Asuma nodded and jumped aside.

Yu Ming, gripping his short sword, charged towards Kisame Hoshigaki.

"Ding~".

"Boom!"

With a single strike, Yu Ming managed to cut off some scales from Samehada in Kisame Hoshigaki's hand.

With a single strike from Yu Ming, the immense force even caused the ground beneath Kisame Hoshigaki's feet to collapse.

.. .....

A massive energy storm was generated, causing Kisame Hoshigaki to widen his eyes and take several steps back.

"Damn it, what's wrong with this guy? How can he have such strength?"

When Kisame Hoshigaki suppressed Asuma just now, he only used the tip of his sword to subdue Asuma. At that time, Kisame Hoshigaki's strength was also terrifying.
