Naruto: My setting is above yours.

The arrival of an ordinary tree spirit couldn't stop this teacher.

Just as Sakumo Hatake was about to shatter the Tree Realm, Genma took a deep breath and changed his hand seal from the Snake Seal to a prayer gesture, with intense electric light emanating from his body.

The next moment, all the trees in the tree world were enveloped in electric light.

The entire tree world instantly transformed into a cage of lightning.

Wood Release + Lightning Release: Wood Lightning Prison!

In an instant, Hatake Sakumo had nowhere to dodge and no time to use other means of defense. His body was struck and entangled by the lightning, paralyzed, and unable to move for a moment.

Genma immediately used the Substitution Jutsu to switch places with wisps of air, appearing beside Hatake Sakumo as if by teleportation, and took the bell away.

We won!

Seeing Genma appear with the bell, Shizune was overjoyed and quickly ran forward: "Genma, is Sakumo-sensei alright?"

"Forehead……"

Genma scratched his head awkwardly: "This... it should be fine, right?"

There was no other way; the clones hadn't accumulated much Wood Release chakra, otherwise they would have used Wood Release to capture people.

Chapter 24 Head-to-Head

Seeing Genma's awkward expression, Shizune was both amused and exasperated. Just as she was about to run into the Tree World, Hatake Sakumo leaped out.

"Teacher, are you alright?"

The traitor immediately inquired.

Sakumo Hatake smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not hurt."

He was only paralyzed, not struck by high-energy lightning.

However, the strength that Xuanma displayed did indeed shock him quite a bit.

His taijutsu and swordsmanship are only at the excellent level of Chunin.

However, with the addition of Wood Release and that space-time teleportation technique, disregarding combat experience, this already represents the foundation of a Jonin.

At this moment, Sakumo Hatake suddenly understood the worries that Genma's father, Arashi, had previously expressed.

The son of a genius is much like the disciple of a genius; he is easy to teach, but doesn't seem to get much of a sense of accomplishment.

Having collected his thoughts, Sakumo Hatake looked at the three boys and gave them a cheerful evaluation: "Everyone performed very well this time."

Jingyin was a little embarrassed: "Teacher, I don't think I played a very good role."

Sakumo Hatake said gently, "Because this is just a drill. In a real battle, if Aoba is injured, you can treat his injuries and help him quickly recover his fighting ability."

"Moreover, as a medical ninja, protecting oneself first is the right choice."

Finally, Sakumo Hatake's expression turned solemn: "Remember this, in a squad, the medical ninja should be the last to sacrifice themselves, if it comes to that!"

Xuanma and the other two immediately nodded solemnly in unison.

"All right."

Sakumo Hatake smiled and said, "We have a general understanding of your teacher. That's all for this morning. Let's go, your teacher will treat you to barbecue."

Xuanma patted his stomach and said, "Then I'm afraid the teacher will have to spend some money today."

Yamashiro Aoba's expression turned serious: "Genma, your appetite isn't proportional to your chakra reserves, is it?"

Genma stroked his chin: "Well, if needed, it's not impossible."

Sakumo Hatake was slightly amused and exasperated, then waved his hand: "Let's go, there's plenty for today!"

"Yes, only for today."

A burst of cheerful laughter immediately rang out.

While the atmosphere was harmonious on Genma's side, Minato Namikaze was having a bit of a headache on the other side.

Kakashi and Obito Uchiha kept arguing, while Rin Nohara frantically tried to break them up.

Kids are so hard to raise!

Minato Namikaze, acting as a Jonin leader for the first time, felt somewhat helpless, so he could only put on the dignity of a Jonin: "Alright, that's all for today. I'll treat everyone to barbecue!"

Kakashi and Obito stopped arguing, and Rin Nohara breathed a sigh of relief, then said apologetically, "Sensei, isn't this too much of a waste?"

Minato Namikaze laughed and said, "No, don't worry."

then.

The two teams met at a barbecue restaurant.

Genma and the others arrived first, and Kakashi and the others arrived just as they sat down and ordered their food.

Minato Namikaze and his men stepped forward to greet him: "Sakumo-senpai!"

"Watergate!"

After greeting everyone, Hatake Sakumo immediately introduced the three to Genma: "This is Namikaze Minato, a Jonin. He is a very powerful young Jonin in the village and already has the title of Yellow Flash in the ninja world. His future achievements will definitely far surpass mine. You can learn from Minato and take him as your role model."

Minato Namikaze was a perfect ninja, a sentiment echoed by Sakumo Hatake.

Since becoming a ninja, Minato Namikaze has never failed a mission, and he has completed each one perfectly.

Even Sakumo Hatake, as a senior, admired him.

He wasn't just saying this to Genma and the other two, but also to Kakashi.

Minato Namikaze was somewhat embarrassed by Sakumo Hatake's praise: "You're too kind, senior. You are the role model we should learn from."

Genma and the other two had already stood up. Genma bowed first and said, "Greetings, Senior Minato. I am Genma Mikado. Please take care of me in the future."

Shizune and Yamashiro Aoba also bowed.

Minato Namikaze responded to each of them in a very gentle and friendly manner. He chatted with Genma and the others for a few minutes before going to find a table to order food.

After ordering, Obito Uchiha couldn't help but ask, "Sensei, that Jonin just now seemed really strong."

Minato Namikaze glanced at Kakashi, who had no expression on his face, and chuckled, "You've probably all heard of him."

"Konoha's White Fang!"

Obito Uchiha's eyes widened in shock: "He's the White Fang of Konoha?!"

"No wonder you respect even your teacher so much."

Minato Namikaze smiled and nodded: "Yes, he is a very remarkable and respectable ninja."

"Even my teacher, as one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, had great respect for Sakumo-senpai."

Obito Uchiha exclaimed in amazement, "That's incredible!"

Then he glanced at Kakashi, his words sharp: "Unlike some people, who always act so arrogant."

"Hmph, I will definitely become a powerful ninja like Sakumo-senpai in the future, and become a Hokage recognized by everyone!"

Nohara Rin hesitated, wanting to remind Uchiha Obito.

Minato Namikaze suppressed a laugh and explained, "Um, Obito, White Fang-senpai is Kakashi's father."

"Sakumo Hatake's name is Sakumo Hatake."

Obito Uchiha looked completely bewildered and confused: What?

His expression gradually became distorted. He glanced at Kakashi, who remained expressionless, and his face flushed red. After a while, he coldly snorted, "Some people should learn from White Fang-senpai and stop acting so arrogant all the time."

Kakashi retorted with a sharp tongue: "Some people who want to become Hokage should first make sure they're not late!"

"Also, no one will approve of a crybaby as Hokage!"

During today's battle, Obito Uchiha was so frightened by Minato Namikaze's genjutsu that he cried.

When this was brought up, Obito Uchiha instantly blushed: "I'm not a crybaby, I... I just got sand in my eyes!"

"Also, I was late because I was delayed by other important matters."

"Hmph, I will definitely become Hokage!"

"Kakashi, you jerk, you'll never be able to gain everyone's approval to become Hokage!"

Kakashi made a face at the furious Obito Uchiha, then said nonchalantly, "I have absolutely no interest in becoming Hokage."

Seeing the two arguing again, Minato Namikaze was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Nohara Rin quickly intervened to break up the fight and calm things down. Finally, the battle was brought to a stop, and the food was served.

So the rivalry spread to the dinner table, with Obito Uchiha and Kakashi competing. As a result, Obito ate so much that his belly became round, and he walked like a duck when he went out.

This sight shocked Xuanma and the others.

That's too ruthless!

"That damn Kakashi~"

Obito Uchiha himself was also upset.

Kakashi didn't hold back either, his light voice flying out: "Idiot!"

Chapter 25 Don't die, you little rascal!

In the afternoon, Genma did not go to Konoha Hospital with Shizune, but instead went into the grove to train by himself.

First, let the plant cells nourish the body.

This was a long process, and over the course of two years, my body did indeed undergo significant changes.

If Genma initially relied solely on intuition to speculate, now he is 100% certain that if he continues, he will definitely obtain Wood Release and will no longer need Wood Release chakra to use it.

However, it is also not a Wood Release Kekkei Genkai formed by the fusion of Earth Release and Water Release nature transformations.

It's more like... a vegetative state?

"At the current pace of progress, it should be completely transformed in two years at most."

After eating his fill, Xuanma created shadow clones and turned to practice Lightning Release: Instantaneous Body Technique.

That is, to activate all the cells in the body with lightning release chakra.
