Konoha: Intentionally losing to Hinata at the start

"And despite the risks, the two of them dared to break into Konoha."

Jiraiya stood beside Yu Ming and sighed, "Now Uchiha Itachi has joined an organization called Akatsuki~".

Jiraiya explained the Akatsuki organization to Yu Ming, including its personnel composition.

After Jiraiya finished speaking, Yu Ming frowned and said, "Those ninjas in Akatsuki are all very troublesome people. I don't believe they've gathered together for justice."

Jiraiya nodded. "Their goal is likely to collect the Tailed Beasts, but it's unclear what their purpose is in doing so."

Chapter 114

Jiraiya himself doesn't actually know why Akatsuki is collecting the Tailed Beasts.

However, it's definitely not a good thing.

Just then, Naruto arrived at the door carrying a large bag.

Jiraiya looked at the bag Naruto was carrying and his lips twitched slightly. "What are you doing carrying so much stuff?"

Naruto laughed and said, "These are all my favorite things. Since we're going on a long trip, I'll definitely bring them all with me."

Yu Ming smiled slightly and said, "You don't need to bring so much stuff."

Naruto was taken aback when he saw Yu Ming. "Ah, Yu Ming, what are you doing here?"

Jiraiya frowned and said, "He's coming out with us too. You should throw away anything you don't need and only take what you need. Besides, can you carry all this stuff?"

Naruto thought about it and agreed, but he was a little reluctant to part with it, so he tried to put the backpack on.

It's just that their difficult pace is quite frustrating.

Yu Ming, standing behind him, said, "You should take the things out of your backpack, otherwise you'll be carrying this backpack for a very long time."

Naruto looked at his backpack and, with no other choice, cleaned it out.

Seeing Naruto like this, Yu Ming sighed.

Jiraiya was also speechless, even though he was actually not much different from Naruto when he was young.

But it must be said that 250 is still more reliable than Naruto.

After Naruto emptied his bag, the three of them set off together.

Naruto had a lot of fun along the way, while Yu Ming was much quieter. However, it was actually quite nice to leave Konoha Village and go for a walk outside.

Naruto ran ahead, while Yu Ming and Jiraiya walked leisurely behind.

Jiraiya walked beside Yu Ming and asked with a smile, "Yu Ming, did you succeed in learning immortal techniques at Ryuchi Cave?"

Jiraiya was also looking forward to it. If Yuming really learned the immortal techniques of Ryuchi Cave, his strength would increase dramatically, and he might even be no weaker than himself.

It should be noted that Jiraiya considered himself to be among the top ninjas in the ninja world.

Yu Ming is only twelve years old, yet he possesses such strength. This means that Yu Ming may have already surpassed the Fourth Hokage.

The reason Jiraiya kept comparing the Fourth Hokage to Yu Ming was because the two were too similar.

Aside from their personalities, the two are remarkably similar.

He is highly talented, comes from a commoner background, is good-looking, and has a relatively quiet personality. He was the Fourth Hokage, who wanted to become Hokage since childhood, while Yu Ming's dream is probably not that.

Jiraiya was also quite interested in Yu Ming, and Yu Ming had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, making him look remarkably like the Fourth Hokage.

If Yu Ming were to master Sage Mode, he would truly surpass the Fourth Hokage.

The Fourth Hokage also knew Sage Mode, but his chakra reserves were simply insufficient to sustain him in Sage Mode for long.

Therefore, it has virtually no practical value.

If Yu Ming could maintain Sage Mode for a long time, even if he only reached the same level as him, he would have already surpassed the fourth generation.

Yu Ming thought for a moment, and finally nodded, "Mm."

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya's eyes flashed with a light as he suppressed his excitement.

Although Yu Ming is not his disciple, he is Kakashi's disciple, which is equivalent to Jiraiya's lineage.

After all, Yu Ming is Kakashi's disciple, Kakashi is Minato Namikaze's disciple, and Minato Namikaze is Jiraiya's disciple.

Therefore, Yu Ming can actually be considered Jiraiya's junior.

The reason for using the term "disciple" is that disciples and students are different.

In Kakashi's team, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura were clearly regarded as his subordinates and students by Kakashi.

But Yu Ming was treated as his disciple.

Jiraiya had sensed this during his previous conversation with Kakashi.

It was precisely because Naruto was not Kakashi's disciple that Jiraiya later began to treat Naruto as his disciple.

Before, Naruto was just someone the Third Hokage had assigned to Kakashi to keep an eye on.

Because Naruto is a Jinchūriki.

Jiraiya was naturally excited to learn that Yu Ming had mastered Sage Mode, but he still asked soberly, "Can you stay in Sage Mode for a long time?"

Yu Ming thought for a moment. He didn't really want to explain things too clearly to Jiraiya, but since Jiraiya kept asking, Yu Ming felt there was no need to hide it from him, so he said, "It will probably take more than an hour."

In fact, Yu Ming could have remained in immortal mode for more than a day.

He could even remain in immortal mode for more than three days if he wanted to.

It has a similar battery life to the First Hokage.

However, "more than an hour" is actually a figurative number.

Jiraiya smiled and said, "An hour? You can actually do it for an hour? Unbelievable! You know what? The Fourth Hokage also mastered Sage Mode, but he could only stay in Sage Mode for two minutes."

Yu Ming didn't seem to care and calmly said, "Two minutes is actually enough. Considering the Fourth Hokage's mastery of the Flying Thunder God Technique, two minutes is more than enough time for him to do a lot of things."

Yu Ming knew very well that two minutes might not be much for others, but for the Fourth Hokage, because of his fighting style, two minutes was actually enough.

However, for the strong, the Flying Thunder God Technique is rather useless.

For example, when facing Madara Uchiha, the Second Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique was completely useless against him.

He was caught the moment he appeared beside him; the Second Hokage's reaction time was nowhere near as fast as Madara Uchiha's.

Therefore, the Flying Thunder God Technique still depends on reaction speed and the speed of execution.

Otherwise, it's just a useless thing.

In other words, the Flying Thunder God Technique is suitable for people with high combat intelligence.

Jiraiya laughed and said, "No, even considering his fighting style, the duration of his Sage Art is very short and it has no practical value in combat."

"But if you can really stay in Sage Mode for more than an hour, then that would be perfect."

"I haven't even been in Sage Mode for this long."

Yu Ming didn't find it strange at all.

Although Jiraiya's Sage Mode isn't perfect, he uses it very well.

Looking at Yu Ming, Jiraiya became more and more satisfied. If Kakashi hadn't already taken Yu Ming as his disciple, Jiraiya would definitely have attacked Yu Ming.

Yu Ming calmly asked, "What ninjutsu do you want to teach me?"

Jiraiya laughed and said, "Do you know the Fourth Hokage's ninjutsu? It's a ninjutsu that combines with the Flying Thunder God Technique."

Yu Ming certainly knew, but he probably doesn't know now.

So Yu Ming shook his head.

Jiraiya laughed and said, "This ninjutsu is called Rasengan. It's a ninjutsu that can be activated instantly without hand seals. It's perfect for you to use with the Flying Thunder God Technique. The Fourth Hokage developed it specifically to complement the Flying Thunder God Technique."

"It's a Rank A forbidden technique, a very powerful ninjutsu."

Chapter 115

Yu Ming nodded, quite calmly.

Jiraiya looked at Yu Ming's calm demeanor and asked curiously, "Aren't you curious?"

Yu Ming smiled and said, "What's there to be curious about? I think Chidori is pretty good among A-rank ninjutsu, and it's also quite suitable for me to use in conjunction with Flying Thunder God Technique."

Jiraiya laughed and said, "The Rasengan is a stronger ninjutsu. Although both are A-rank ninjutsu, the power of the Rasengan is definitely above that of the Chidori."

Yu Ming didn't quite agree with this view.

After all, the power of Chidori in Yu Ming's hands is completely different from that in Kakashi's hands.

Whether it's Chidori or Rasengan, it all depends on who's using it.

However, he didn't want to explain anything, and just smiled and said, "Oh, then I'd like to see if this ninjutsu is really that powerful."

In fact, Yu Ming had no interest at all. If he really wanted to develop the Rasengan, it wouldn't be difficult at all.

The reason he doesn't develop it is because he knows he won't need it at all.

Based on Chidori, he has developed many lightning release ninjutsu suitable for him, each of which is no less powerful than Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.

Even stronger.

However, Yu Ming rarely used these ninjutsu techniques.

However, Yu Ming came out with Jiraiya this time with one purpose: to see just how good Tsunade's medical ninjutsu really was, and also to have some fun outside Konoha.

Jiraiya laughed and said, "However, this kind of ninjutsu is not easy to learn, so it takes a long time to master."

Yu Ming smiled. He could learn Chidori with just one glance, let alone Rasengan.

The Rasengan represents the ultimate form of transformation.

The Thousand Birds, on the other hand, is a combination of changes in form and changes in nature.

Logically speaking, the Chidori should be more difficult to master.

Naruto trained for more than a month because he had difficulty concentrating his chakra.

A normal level of skill would be similar to Jiraiya's, which could be mastered within three days.

However, Yu Ming naturally wouldn't say it.

Jiraiya looked at Yu Ming's smile and understood what he meant.

He sighed. "That's true. You've already learned Chidori, so Rasengan might not be too difficult for you."
