Konoha: Intentionally losing to Hinata at the start

Kakashi shook his head and said very seriously, "Of course I'm not joking. Although the first thing a ninja needs to learn is deception, I wouldn't stoop to deceiving you."

"Your talent far exceeds my expectations to have learned the Great Fireball Technique so quickly."

After hearing this, Yu Ming put away the 30,000 taels.

There was not a trace of affectation.

He laughed and said, "Then I'll treat you today, Kakashi-sensei. Let's go eat barbecue."

Kakashi laughed and said, "Then you're going to have to spend a lot of money. I haven't had barbecue in a long time either."

Yu Ming smiled.

Yu Ming's impression of Kakashi has improved a lot now.

It wasn't because of money, but because he could sense that Kakashi genuinely wanted to train him.

If you want to become stronger, Kakashi is a pretty good background.

The future Sixth Hokage, and a pillar of Konoha for a long time to come.

There's no harm in siding with him.

Kakashi and Yu Ming quickly came down from the back mountain and ate until very late before leaving the barbecue restaurant.

The next day, Yu Ming went to school as usual.

However, as he walked along the road, he felt as if his chakra had increased significantly.

Yu Ming frowned and thought, "It must be because I learned the Great Fireball Technique yesterday that my chakra level increased. Also, my mental energy increased yesterday, which also led to the increase in chakra. My chakra level should be at the upper level of Chunin now."

After figuring everything out, Yu Ming went to the Ninja Academy.

As always, Yu Ming sat in his seat and listened attentively to the lecture.

He was a nobody in class, never taking the initiative to talk to others, nor was he indifferent to anyone.

But as soon as get out of class is over, he will lie down on the desk and fall asleep.

He showed absolutely no intention of playing with his classmates.

Yu Ming fell asleep on his desk right after class.

Suddenly I felt someone approaching.

He woke up immediately and breathed a sigh of relief after realizing who it was.

Hinata lowered her head and came to Yu Ming's side, asking softly, "Yu, Yu Ming-kun, are you alright? I, I have some ointment here. I'm so sorry about yesterday."

Yu Ming raised his head and looked at Hinata, who was standing in front of him with her head down.

A delicate glass bottle was in her hand.

Yu Ming thought for a moment, took the ointment, and smiled, "More Hinata."

Hinata didn't even dare to look up at Yu Ming, her face flushed red.

"It's alright. Yesterday, Yu Mingjun deliberately lost to me, didn't he? I thought about it for a long time afterward. Logically speaking, I shouldn't have been able to hit you with that last palm strike. I know that Yu Mingjun deliberately lost to me."

This is the first time in all this time that Hinata has encountered someone who would deliberately lose to her.

In her mind, her impression of Yu Ming had improved a lot.

Yu Ming, on the other hand, seemed quite calm. "No, it's just that your strength is indeed very strong. After all, you are from the Hyuga clan, and you are a genius. It's normal for me to lose to you."

Yu Ming would never admit that he had actually let the opponent win.

Hinata kept her head down, her face slightly flushed, her chubby cheeks and delicate, adorable face whispering, "But, but when I fought Yu Ming-kun, I used my Byakugan to check your chakra. Your chakra was clearly more than mine, and in that last palm strike, your chakra was clearly deliberately moved."

"Otherwise, I would never have been able to hit Yu Mingjun in the end."

Yu Ming was stunned for a moment, looking at Hinata, thinking, "This little girl seems to be quite something. She analyzed things so carefully. Who said Hinata is weak? Even Sasuke might not have this kind of battle wisdom."

Yu Ming was somewhat surprised by Hinata's attentiveness.

Of course, he would never admit it.

So he smiled calmly and said, "You've thought of that, Hinata. I just hope you know about this, okay?"

"This is a secret between you and me."

Hinata trembled upon hearing this, her face turning even redder. "Um, um, I, I won't tell anyone."

“Yu Mingjun definitely doesn’t want others to know your strength. Although I don’t know why Yu Mingjun is like this, I will not tell anyone.”

At this time, Hinata was just a six-year-old girl.

Naturally, there was no need for any extra thoughts.

Hearing Hinata's soft whisper, Yu Ming smiled and said, "Then thank you very much, Hinata. Actually, you are very capable. There is no need to be so shy all the time. After all, you are a member of the Hyuga clan. You are much stronger than many people."

There's no need to be so shy all the time.

Yu Ming felt that Hinata's personality prevented her from fully utilizing her talents.

Hinata blushed even more; it was impossible to stop her from feeling shy.

Seeing this, Yu Ming could only smile wryly and say, "Forget it, I guess it's going to be difficult for you."

Please don't tell anyone about my affairs in the future.

Hinata nodded.

Yu Ming had just finished speaking when class started.

Hinata quickly returned to her seat.

However, during class, he would occasionally steal glances at Naruto.

This is her habit.

However, the difference now is that she would occasionally glance at Yu Ming.

Every time she saw Yu Ming seriously taking the break from class, she felt a little ashamed. "Yu Ming is so serious, no wonder he is so amazing. I also need to work harder, otherwise, I will only fall further and further behind Yu Ming in the future."

After figuring this out, she forced herself to stop looking at Naruto and started paying attention in class.

After listening for a while, she realized that she had already learned the knowledge that Iruka was talking about in her family.

However, he didn't lose focus again.

Chapter 11

During this time, because Kakashi was always on missions, Yu Ming was able to eat as usual.

There haven't been many changes; people still watch ninjas train at the village's training grounds.

The difference is that Hinata seems to have noticed Yu Ming.

I would often look in his direction.

A week later, Yu Ming received a message from Kakashi that he had completed his mission and would wait for him at the back mountain after school that day.

That day, as soon as school was over, Yu Ming immediately left the classroom.

Hinata paused for a moment. "Yu Ming-kun seems to be in a bit of a hurry today. I wonder what's going on with him."

Two little hands were intertwined in a somewhat tangled way.

"Should I go and see what's going on? But if Yu Mingjun finds out, he'll definitely be angry, right?"

Hinata has been observing Yu Ming from time to time lately and hasn't noticed him, so she's been paying less and less attention to Naruto.

After thinking for a while, Hinata decided to go and see what was going on. "I have to go and see, Yu Ming-kun must have encountered some problem."

Thinking of this, she picked up her schoolbag and ran out of the classroom.

Yu Ming wasn't in a hurry. He was walking down the street, and after only a dozen minutes of leaving the school, he frowned.

"Hinata? What's she doing following me?"

Yu Ming couldn't understand it, but he didn't point it out.

As I walked, I turned a corner.

Hinata quickly and carefully followed, but just after turning the corner, Yu Ming's figure disappeared.

Hinata froze, looking around but not seeing Yu Ming. At that moment, she knew that Yu Ming had discovered her.

"Yu Mingjun's reconnaissance ability is indeed very strong. He must have discovered me at the beginning, and then disappeared in an instant. Yu Mingjun must have mastered the technique of teleportation."

How could Hinata, who comes from a prominent family, not know about the Body Flicker Technique?

Although the Body Flicker Technique is not a high-level ninjutsu, it is still difficult for even genin to master. Hinata had only seen some clan ninjas use it.

"I wonder what happened to Yu Mingjun that made him so rushed."

Hinata's mind is now filled with the serious look on Yu Ming's face when he left.

It made her inexplicably worried.

Yu Ming used the Instantaneous Movement Technique twice, appearing hundreds of meters away.

Soon we arrived at the entrance to the back mountain.

Looking at the dense forest ahead, Yu Ming frowned and said, "Walking is too slow. Let's try jumping through the forest and take a look."

Without hesitation, Yu Ming jumped up a tree that was tens of meters high.

Chakra was attached to the soles of his feet.

With a push of his foot.

He jumped from one big tree to the trunk of another big tree.

It landed very smoothly on the trunk of another large tree.

At first, he wasn't very familiar with it, so his speed wasn't particularly fast. After getting used to it a few times, his speed improved.

It reached the normal speed of a ninja in the forest.

In just ten minutes, he traversed several kilometers of forest and leaped out of it.

Compared to the first time he entered the forest, Yu Ming spent more than twenty minutes less.

As Yu Ming leaped out of the forest, he saw Kakashi standing on the grass, reading a small book.

Upon noticing Yu Ming's appearance, Kakashi laughed and said, "Oh, you can actually walk in the forest now."
