Konoha: Intentionally losing to Hinata at the start

Of course, Naruto probably never even thought about this question.

Jiraiya sighed, "Why did it turn out like this? Why hasn't Yu Ming arrived yet? He can't be this slow. Is he... sitting somewhere watching?"

Jiraiya was right; Yu Ming had actually arrived long ago, but he hadn't shown himself yet. Watching what was happening in the izakaya, Yu Ming felt a little bored.

These were all bets between Naruto and Tsunade.

Moreover, Jiraiya actually revealed all his secrets at once, leaving him speechless.

Although he knew that if Tsunade returned to Konoha, Li Zhao would find out sooner or later.

But Yu Ming didn't want her to know right now. He knew very well how Tsunade used Kakashi, an elite Jonin.

That truly meant that all the important tasks were completely entrusted to him.

Yu Ming didn't want to end up like that.

Jiraiya had already told everyone, so Yu Ming figured he wouldn't be idle once he returned to Konoha.

Standing on the top of the izakaya, Yu Ming sighed, "Sigh, it seems I won't have many free days left."

Yu Ming's perception and hearing are both excellent, so even though he is standing on the top of the izakaya, he can still hear the conversation between Jiraiya and the others below.

Naruto and Tsunade emerged from the izakaya. Tsunade stood on the street, looking at Naruto across from her, and said, "I'm one of the Legendary Sannin, after all. It wouldn't be fair to you if I fought you with my full strength. So, I'll defeat you with just one finger, with just one finger."

Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Naruto frowned, angrily saying, "Damn it."

Naruto clenched his fist and charged toward Tsunade.

Yu Ming stood on the rooftop watching the battle, but it was really just a sudden idea from Tsunade.

Naruto took it seriously, and when he rushed over, he threw a punch at Tsunade.

Just as Kyuu's fist was about to hit Naruto, Tsunade suddenly curled her fingers and flicked them towards Naruto's headband.

The immense force sent Naruto staggering back more than ten meters.

Although he wasn't hurt, Naruto still felt how terrifying Tsunade's strength was.

With just a flick of a finger, he was sent flying more than ten meters away.

Naruto frowned, thinking, "It seems that the only way to defeat this guy is to use that move."

Naruto began to gather Rasengan in his hands.

The man who had initially been mocking Naruto frowned upon seeing the Rasengan in Naruto's hand and said, "Why does this kid know this move?"

"Is this ninjutsu something he can master?"

In fact, Naruto hadn't fully mastered the Rasengan yet, so he could only support himself with both hands as he charged towards Tsunade.

Yu Ming, standing on the ground, shook his head as he watched Naruto's actions. "This kid is really fearless. He dares to use 257 before he's even finished."

Using a Rasengan before it's fully formed can easily cause serious injury.

After all, the Rasengan is full of chaotic, turbulent currents.

Naruto, holding the Rasengan with both hands, charged towards Tsunade.

Even Jiraiya frowned, "Naruto is too reckless. He's using it before it's even finished."

Naruto was so angry that he lost all reason and rushed in front of Tsunade, ready to send the Rasengan at her.

However, he was still no match for Tsunade, who deflected his Rasengan with a single finger.

Naruto pressed his hands down on the ground.

"Boom!"

The Rasengan exploded violently on the ground in front of Tsunade, creating a crater more than a meter deep.

However, Tsunade's single finger strike directly cracked the ground, creating a trench more than ten meters long. This force made Yu Ming frown. "Indeed, Tsunade's strength is enormous; she actually created such a crack with just one finger."

Although Yu Ming could do it too, he was still very impressed.

Tsunade looked at Naruto lying in the ditch. "It's not the Fourth Hokage's ninjutsu; it only resembles it. It's completely different." (ajah)

"Maybe he hasn't fully mastered it yet. This kid is really bold, daring to use this ninjutsu before he's even finished it."

Tsunade thought Naruto was really crazy; this ninjutsu would be extremely dangerous if he didn't master it.

Moreover, Naruto was only a genin.

Tsunade turned to Jiraiya and said, "Only the Fourth Hokage and you can use this ninjutsu. You taught him this, didn't you? Are you crazy to teach a genin such an unmasterable ninjutsu?"

Jiraiya laughed and said, "Don't say that. I think he can learn it. I've tested it."

"Moreover, this ninjutsu is not something I've learned alone; Yu Ming, whom I mentioned before, has also mastered it."

Yu Ming, who was standing on the roof and didn't want to go down, was speechless when he heard Jiraiya's words. "Lord Jiraiya, you don't need to mention me when I'm not here."

Yu Ming appeared beside Jiraiya, hands in his pockets, looking very much like Kakashi. Perhaps after following Kakashi for so long, he had picked up some of his habits.

The moment Tsunade saw Yu Ming, she frowned and asked, "Is this kid Yu Ming? When did he appear?"

Because Yu Ming concealed his presence while on the roof, even Jiraiya was unable to sense him.

Jiraiya looked at Yu Ming and laughed, "You must have arrived a long time ago, why didn't you show up?"

Yu Ming did not admit it, saying, "No, I just arrived."

Jiraiya chuckled. "Keep making this up. This woman is Tsunade. Haven't you always wanted to meet her?"

Yu Ming glanced at Jiraiya and said speechlessly, "I said I want to ask Lady Tsunade for advice on medical ninjutsu."

Tsunade walked over and looked at Yu Ming, completely unable to believe that Yu Ming was only thirteen years old, because he was too tall, already 1.75 meters tall. Although he was not as tall as Jiraiya, he was already much taller than her.

After all, Tsunade is not tall, only 1.63 meters, and she is even half a head shorter than Yu Ming when standing in front of him.

"You are Yu Ming?"

Yu Ming smiled and said, "Lady Tsunade."

Tsunade looked at Yu Ming. Although he was very handsome, she didn't believe at all that Yu Ming really had Kage-level power. The main reason was that Yu Ming's age and appearance were too deceptive.

Furthermore, Tsunade couldn't sense how strong Yu Ming's aura was.

"Jiraiya said your strength is at the Kage level."

Yu Ming looked at Jiraiya and said speechlessly, "Don't listen to his nonsense. I'm just a genin now, how could I have Kage-level strength?"

Jiraiya patted Yuming on the shoulder and said, "Excessive humility is arrogance."

Yu Ming really wanted to throw Jiraiya away. He never wanted to appear too powerful in Tsunade's eyes, otherwise she would definitely cause him a lot of trouble when she became Hokage.

"Lord Jiraiya sometimes boasts, which is not a good habit."

Jiraiya was stunned. He had a feeling that Yu Ming was so unwilling to show his strength in front of Tsunade.

However, when he thought about Yu Ming's personality, he felt relieved.

He laughed and said, "Naruto knows about this, Kakashi knows, Anko knows. Do you think you can keep it a secret? Even Guy, Kurenai, and Asuma know. What, do you think you can keep it from anyone?"

Upon hearing what Jiraiya said, Tsunade's previous doubts about Yu Ming vanished. The people Jiraiya had listed were all Jonin of Konoha, and even the lowest-ranking ones were Special Jonin.

If all these people believe that Yu Ming has the strength of a Shadow-level expert, then there is really no doubt about it.

Tsunade looked at Yu Ming and said, "How did you train? And just now Jiraiya said you had mastered the Rasengan?"

Yu Ming smiled wryly, "I have mastered it, but it's not surprising. Naruto will master it too; he just needs time."

Jiraiya seemed determined to reveal Yu Ming's strength to Tsunade, interrupting Yu Ming and saying, "Tsunade, do you know why I taught Yu Ming the Rasengan back then?"

Yu Ming glanced at Jiraiya, signaling him to stop talking.

But Jiraiya acted as if he hadn't seen it, and said, "Because he had already mastered the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique, and the ninjutsu he used to pair with the Flying Thunder God Technique was Chidori. You heard right, this kid even mastered Kakashi's Chidori, and he also mastered the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique."

Tsunade's gaze towards Yu Ming instantly transformed into one of admiration.

After all, having mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, as well as the Rasengan and Chidori, Yu Ming's strength is definitely at the Kage level.

However, these three ninjutsu are not techniques that ordinary geniuses can master. No wonder Yu Ming has the strength of a Kage at the age of thirteen.

Tsunade smiled, looked at Yu Ming, and said, "You're not bad, kid."

Chapter 125

Tsunade looked at Yu Ming and asked, "You want to learn medical ninjutsu?"

Yu Ming nodded. "Yes, I'm more interested in medical ninjutsu."

As soon as Yu Ming finished speaking, Jiraiya said, "Yu Ming's medical ninjutsu is also very powerful. According to Guy, Yu Ming's medical ninjutsu is currently the strongest in Konoha, even stronger than the current director of Konoha Hospital."

Tsunade paused for a moment, then looked at Yu Ming with a frown and said, "You've studied medical ninjutsu?"

This time, Yu Ming didn't try to hide anything from Tsunade, and said, "Yes, I've learned some."

"It's just that many of the medical ninjas at Konoha Hospital aren't very good at medical ninjutsu, so I haven't learned much."

Tsunade was truly incredulous. At only thirteen years old, he possessed Kage-level strength. Not only that, he had also mastered medical ninjutsu. If what Jiraiya said was true, then Yu Ming's medical ninjutsu was already very close to Shizune's.

Jingyin was someone she kept by her side, teaching her by example.

Seeing Yu Ming's calm demeanor, Tsunade said with some admiration, "I think you could become a good Hokage~".

Upon hearing Tsunade bring up the Hokage again, Yu Ming shook his head and said, "You're really overthinking it. I don't want to become Hokage. I'm not suitable."

"But you can believe that Naruto may become Hokage in the future because he has always regarded this goal as his ideal."

Tsunade turned to look at Naruto, who was walking towards them.

"This kid? I don't believe it."

However, after seeing how Naruto used the incomplete Rasengan, Tsunade wavered a bit.

Perhaps Naruto really can learn the Rasengan. After all, he is the son of the Fourth Hokage, so he will definitely inherit some of his talents, and he also has the Nine-Tails inside him.

Naruto walked over and, upon hearing Tsunade's words, earnestly replied, "Becoming Hokage is my dream, and I will definitely achieve it."

Tsunade smiled and said, "You can't even master the Rasengan, yet you want to become Hokage? That's laughable."

Naruto said very seriously, "I'm almost at the third form of the Rasengan now, and I'll be able to master it completely soon."

Tsunade paused for a moment, then looked at Naruto's confident demeanor and smiled, "If you can master the Rasengan within a week, I'll admit you might become Hokage."

Naruto frowned. He really wasn't confident he could manage a week.

But seeing Tsunade's smiling face, he felt he had to prove himself.
