Using the momentum, Hatake Kaede jumped up and viciously kicked Teruharu Yuhi in the face with his other foot.
Yuhi Teruharu took a step back, easily dodging Hatake Kaede's attack.Then, she grabbed Hatake Kaede's ankle and threw him into the distant river.
Hatake Kaede adjusted his body in mid-air, dissipating the force, and stood firmly on the water's surface.Then, he quickly formed hand seals: "Water Style: Water Chaos Waves!"
The water surged rapidly towards Yuhi Teruharu, who was both surprised and delighted.Despite his astonishment, Yuhi Teruharu didn't stop what he was doing, forming hand seals, "Earth Style: Mud Wall!"
An earthen wall rose up in front of Yuhi Teruharu, completely blocking the flow of water from Hatake Kaede.
[This is what a normal "Earth Style: Mud Wall" looks like; not everyone should carve a "dog's head" on it.]
Behind the earthen wall, Yuhi Teruharu nodded secretly: [Kaede's hand seal speed isn't slow; it seems he's practiced hand seals diligently beforehand.Water Style, huh?Hmm~!]
Suddenly, a "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sound came from the wall in front of Yuhi Teruharu, followed by a "bang bang bang" sound as several small round holes appeared in the wall.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Hatake Kaede took a running start and leaped, unleashing a "Leo Kick" that shattered the already riddled mud wall.Instantly, dirt and stones flew everywhere, scattering in all directions.Hatake Kaede, not one to back down, swiftly drew a shuriken and shot it at Yuhi Teruharu.
As Yuhi Teruharu deftly dodged the attacks of clods of earth and shuriken, he was about to launch a counterattack when he suddenly felt a burning sensation.
" Fire Style: Great Flame!" A massive fireball crashed down from Yuhi Kaguya's side.It was Sarutobi Shota who launched a surprise attack while Yuhi Kaguya's old power had dissipated and her new power had not yet been generated.
The fireball struck Yuhi Teruharu with lightning speed, unleashing a scorching shockwave.
Shota Sarutobi jumped out of the forest, excitedly shouting, "Hahaha.-sensei Teruharu, I hit you!" But when the dust settled, Teruharu Yuhi's figure had completely disappeared.
Shota Sarutobi was startled and hurriedly looked around for Teruharu Yuhi.
"There's nothing up, down, left, right, or forward, so there's only…" Suddenly, Sarutobi Shota felt a tightness in his back, especially in his anus, which was throbbing with pain.
It turned out that Yuhi Teruharu had quietly come up behind Sarutobi Shota, crouched down slightly, and formed the Tiger Seal with his hands.
Seeing this familiar posture, Hatake Kaede was startled.
[That pose, that tiger mark.Holy crap, isn't that the Thousand Years of Death from Sakumo?]
So, Hatake Kaede shouted, "Shota, get out of the way." How could Shota Sarutobi, a rookie genin, possibly dodge the attack of a jonin?Before Hatake Kaede could finish shouting, the attack landed on Shota Sarutobi.
The next moment, accompanied by a shrill scream, Sarutobi Shota was completely airborne.
"Crack~" It sounded like something breaking.After landing, Sarutobi Shouta stopped himself with his face, clutching his butt and lying there looking utterly hopeless.
Hatake Kaede had already witnessed and tested the power of this move on his own father, Sakumo, so he was no longer surprised.However, Shota Sarutobi and Yuhi Haru, who were still hiding in the shadows, looked utterly devastated.
Needless to say, Sarutobi Shota had just experienced the power of this move.
The one most devastated was Yuhi Haru.How could his serious and upright older brother have resorted to such an inexplicable tactic?His previous image of admiration for his elder brother was completely shattered!
A brief silence fell over the training ground, and everyone was momentarily bewildered.
It was Yuhi Teruharu who spoke first.He blew on his fingers and exclaimed, "Sakumo-senpai's profound technique is truly amazing.It really makes one feel good!"
[Heavens above, do you want to hear this?What kind of talk is this?You violated someone's anus, and you feel good about it?Teruharu, you old scoundrel, your fetish is a bit perverted!]
Yuhi Teruharu chuckled and looked at Hatake Kaede, who was still standing, with ill intent.
Although Hatake Kaede once used this "Thousand Years of Death" technique on his own father (you are really "filial"!), based on the anime from my previous life and Shota Sarutobi's performance just now,
Hatake Kaede declared: "I can use the Thousand Years of Death, but if you try to use it on me, sorry, you old thief, prepare to die!"
Just as Hatake Kaede assumed a defensive stance, Yuhi Teruharu launched a zero-frame attack."Water Style: Mist Concealment Technique!"
A thick fog quickly enveloped the surroundings, obscuring Hatake Kaede's vision.
Hatake Kaede remained calm, immediately forming hand seals."Water Style: Water Rope".
A rope formed from the river water extended out and, guided by Hatake Kaede, quickly bound the still groaning and moaning Shota Sarutobi and pulled him to her side.
Hatake Kaede, leaning against Shota Sarutobi, yelled at him, "Sarutobi, stop whining and use Fire Style!Remember that humiliation you just suffered, and make sure you use 'Thousand Years of Death' on Teruharu-sensei!"
Upon hearing Hatake Kaede's words, Shota Sarutobi's eyes ignited with renewed fighting spirit.He clenched his fists, raised them to his chest, and shouted, "Thank you, Hatake-kun.I'll definitely give Teruharu-sensei a shot."
After hearing Sarutobi Shota's words, Hatake Kaede stumbled.He turned around and slapped Sarutobi Shota on the back of the head.
Seeing Sarutobi Shota's bewildered expression, Hatake Kaede angrily shouted, "What nonsense are you spouting?What indecent things are you saying?And you even mentioned it to Teruharu-sensei!Can you explain yourself clearly?"
Shota Sarutobi rubbed the back of his head, looking aggrieved, and said, "Give me a Fire Style, of course!Hatake-kun, what are you doing?Didn't you just tell me to use Fire Style?"
"Uh~ So it was a fire jutsu!Ha!"Haha." Hatake Kaede looked embarrassed and quickly turned away from Sarutobi Shota's aggrieved face.
There's no way around it; at his core, Hatake Kaede is an adult.So many beautiful words become taboo, suggestive, and offensive terms in the mouths of some adults.(Readers are welcome to share their thoughts in the comments section!)
"Then.then.Sarutobi-kun, you.you.hurry up!" Hatake Kaede stammered, his back turned.
Shota Sarutobi, unsuspecting, quickly formed hand seals and unleashed his ninjutsu." Fire Style: Great Flame!"
The exploding fireball generated a scorching shockwave, which blew away the thick white fog.
As the white mist dissipated, -senseiYuhi Teruharu had vanished.Hatake Kaede was filled with doubt when suddenly a commotion arose from the depths of the forest.
"There it is!Water Style: Water Rope!" Several ropes formed from the flowing water shot out from the river behind and rushed towards the source of the sound.
The water rope sank deep into the grass when a scream was heard.Hatake Kaede quickly pulled it out, shouting, "Sarutobi!"
Shota Sarutobi quickly jumped up and caught the object that was being pulled towards him.
Upon receiving the object, I took a closer look and realized it was a sunset glow.
"." The setting sun shines brightly in spring.
"." Shota Sarutobi.
The two stared at each other, and the fighting spirit they had just shared quickly dissipated, replaced by an awkward and somewhat tense atmosphere.
Hatake Kaede, standing next to him, covered his forehead, looking speechless.
[Are you two gazing at each other so affectionately?What's with this overly "bromance" vibe?Can't you just focus on grabbing the bell?]
When he saw the water rope on Haru's body, Qi Mufeng realized that he was the mastermind behind this "bromance" eye contact.
Hatake Kaede quickly released his ninjutsu and then coughed lightly beside him, interrupting their staring contest.
Seeing that Hatake Kaede expressionlessly released the ninjutsu on his body, the two who had just realized what was happening glared angrily at Hatake Kaede.
Hatake Kaede's motto was, "As long as I'm not embarrassed, then I'm definitely not the one who's embarrassed." He completely ignored the gazes of the two people.
Seeing the shameless Hatake Kaede, Yuhi Haru angrily said to Shota Sarutobi, "Let me go!"
Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Shota quickly let go, and Yuhi Haru, who hadn't even regained her balance, was thrown to the ground with a solid thud on her bottom.
Seeing the disheveled state of Yukihiro, Hatake Kaede couldn't help but burst out laughing.But the next moment, he suppressed his laughter and composed himself.
Yuhi Haru, looking annoyed, asked Hatake Kaede, "Were you laughing?What are you laughing at?"
Hatake Kaede forced himself to suppress his laughter and said, "I'm not laughing.I'm a professional.No matter how funny it is, I won't laugh.Pfft~"
"You laughed.What are you laughing at?"
Kaede bit his lip and then said, "My sow gave birth to piglets."
Haru turned completely red-hot, pointing at Hatake Kaede and yelling, "I'm going to strangle you!"
Hatake Kaede immediately raised his hand to apologize: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Haru-kun, I really shouldn't have laughed at you.But we still have to deal with -senseiTeruharu.Now is not the time for infighting."
Shota Sarutobi chimed in, "That's right, we're facing Teruharu-sensei now.Even the three of us working together can't handle it.If we start fighting amongst ourselves, we're completely finished!"
Haru was only annoyed by the awkward situation just now; she wasn't really angry.
Just then, " Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!" It turned out that Yuhi Teruharu had launched an attack.
Hatake Kaede grabbed the other two children and jumped backward onto the surface of the nearby stream, then formed hand seals."Water Style: Water Wall!" A wall of water rose in front of the three children, blocking the incoming fireball.
The fireball struck the wall of water, unleashing a massive burst of hot air and sending up a cloud of water mist.
Using the mist, the three little ones hid again.However, this time they hid to discuss their next move.
Hatake Kaede spoke first, saying, "As expected of -sensei Teruharu, his strength is indeed formidable.If we don't restrict his range of movement, we simply won't be able to win."
Shota asked from the side, "How do you do it?What are your ideas?"
Yuhi Yoharu also looked at Hatake Kaede, wanting to hear his thoughts.
Hatake Kaede looked at the two and said, "I need you to cut off -senseiTeruharu's escape route!I'll figure out the rest!"
Shota Sarutobi and Haruyu Yuhi exchanged a glance, nodded emphatically, and then went their separate ways to prepare.
After the two children separated, Hatake Kaede immediately took action.
He leaped into the air, hurling numerous purple senbon needles from his hand.A deluge of purple senbon needles rained down on Yuhi Teruharu.
Yuhi Teruharu hurriedly dodged, avoiding many flying senbon needles.However, there were some senbon needles that he could not avoid, so he had to take out his kunai and knock them down one by one.
However, after knocking down these thousands of kunai, Yuhi Teruharu discovered that his kunai had many holes, as if it had been pierced by something.
Thinking of the earthen wall that had been breached by the earthen flow wall before, Yuhi Teruharu seemed to have thought of something.He casually glanced at the purple senbon scattered around him and saw the senbon slowly dissipate.
Before dissipating, Yuhi Teruharu realized that these senbon were made of Lightning Style chakra.
"Lightning Style, huh?Interesting brat!" Yuhi Teruharu casually tossed aside the "riddled with holes" kunai and looked at Hatake Kaede with a satisfied expression.
With another flick of his wrist, a massive amount of purple senbon needles swept out once more.
"Hmm~ Interesting, a ninjutsu without hand seals?" This time, Yuhi Teruharu didn't block, but instead retreated while observing.
Seeing that Hatake Kaede didn't form hand seals, but simply flicked his wrist, sending out a large number of purple senbon needles, Yuhi Teruharu looked astonished.As a Jonin of Konoha, Yuhi Teruharu naturally knew the difficulty of ninjutsu without hand seals.
Although surprised by Hatake Kaede's ninjutsu talentHe would definitely have to report to the Third Hokage afterward, but for now he still had to take the brats in front of him seriously.
After retreating a short distance, Sarutobi Shouta and Yuhi Teruharu, who had been waiting for a long time, simultaneously formed hand seals.
" Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough !"
The wind fanned the flames, and the fire, fueled by the wind, quickly sealed off Yuhi Teruharu's escape route.
Yuhi Teruharu nodded in satisfaction, then gave up resisting and let the fireball hit him.
"Bang!" The smoke dissipated, revealing it to be a shadow clone.
"Tch!That cunning -sensei Teruharu, hiding now?"
"Shota, Haru, come with me!"
After saying that, Hatake Kaede led the two little ones to the other side of the river again.
Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, please don't let my past life's chemistry lie to me!
"Shota, prepare Fire Style!Haru, prepare Wind Style!Let's give -sensei Teruharu a big one!Lightning Style: Lightning Torrent!"
Hatake Kaede put his hand into the water and then activated the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
Violent lightning surged from the river, and countless bubbles rose to the surface.
Although Shota and Haru didn't know what Hatake Kaede was doing, they obediently mobilized their chakra.
Just then, Hatake Kaede shouted, "Start!"
The next moment, Shota and Haru simultaneously unleashed their ninjutsu.
" Fire Style: Great Flame Jutsu!"
"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough !"
This time, the flames were different from before; they emitted a ghostly blue light as they swept away.
The eerie blue flames, accompanied by hot winds, completely engulfed the trees.After the flames subsided, the lush, verdant trees were reduced to black charcoal.
Faced with such flames, Yuhi Teruharu broke out in a cold sweat and dared not take the hit head-on.He quickly jumped out from his hiding place.
Seeing the figure flying out, Hatake Kaede flicked his hand, and a large number of purple senbon needles shot out.
"Lightning Style: Purple Lightning - Rain of Pear Blossoms!"
This time, Yuhi Teruharu was completely unable to stop it, and all the purple senbon needles accurately pierced into Yuhi Teruharu's body.
The next moment, with a "bang", Yuhi Teruharu turned into a piece of wood.
The ground beneath their feet caved in."Earth Release: Heart Decapitation Technique!"
Sarutobi was caught off guard and was pulled into the pit by the hand at his feet, with only his head still sticking out.
Hatake Kaede quickly grabbed Haru's arm and dodged to the side.Sure enough, as soon as Hatake Kaede left, a hand reached out from the ground.
Yuhi Teruharu emerged from the ground and said, "Not bad!But there are only two of you left, is there any other way?"
Just as Hatake Kaede was debating whether to reveal his trump card, Yuhi Haru hid behind him and began forming hand seals.He whispered to Hatake Kaede, "Buy me some time."
Although he didn't know what Yuhi Teruharu was planning to do, Hatake Kaede still drew his kunai and rushed towards Yuhi Teruharu, launching a fierce attack on him.
Hatake Kaede wielded his kunai, each strike aimed straight at Hikari Yuhi's vital points.
Yuhi Teruharu reacted quickly, grabbing Hatake Kaede's wrist.Hatake Kaede kicked Yuhi Teruharu in the back of the knee.Yuhi Teruharu blocked with his knee, thus neutralizing Hatake Kaede's attack.
When his first attack failed, Hatake Kaede released the kunai from his grasp and caught it with his other hand.He then slashed at the bell at Teruharu Yuhi's waist.
With quick reflexes, Yuhi Teruharu dodged Hatake Kaede's sneak attack by twisting his waist.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Hatake Kaede twisted his arms, trying to break free from Teruharu Yuhi's restraints.
[Does this brat not want his arm anymore?]
Yuhi Teruharu sighed at how ruthless Hatake Kaede was at such a young age, even towards himself.He was just about to let Hatake Kaede escape.
However, suddenly, Yuhi Teruharu became delirious and his whole body stiffened.
[Illusion magic, so simple?]
Although Yuhi Teruharu quickly broke free of the illusion, that momentary lapse in concentration bought Hatake Kaede time.Hatake Kaede had already removed the bell from Yuhi Teruharu's waist.
Shaking the bell in his hand, accompanied by a crisp clinking sound, Hatake Kaede laughed triumphantly, "Haha, -senseiTeruharu, we won!"
"Hmm~ Not bad, not bad, you guys coordinated very well!Especially the final illusion technique." Yuhi Teruharu commented, "Whether it was earlier or later, Hatake-kun would have missed the opportunity."
These kids are all promising talents with great potential.Given time, these three will surely become famous ninjas.
Especially this kid named Hatake Kaede, whether it's the blue flames created by the three of them working together, or the purple senbon needles created by his hand seal ninjutsu, both demonstrate his extremely high ninjutsu talent.Perhaps, Hatake Kaede will be the first person to surpass him!
Pushing aside her thoughts, Yuhi Teruharu clapped her hands and said, "Alright, the test is over.Shota, stay here and go hungry.You two come with me, I'm going to treat you to a big meal!"
"Alright, thank you, Teruharu-sensei.But since I'm on the same team as Shota, I'll stay here!" With that, Hatake Kaede sat down.
Although there were concerns about -senseiTeruharu's secret investigation, the most important thing was that Hatake Kaede had accepted Shota.
"-sensei Teruharu, I.I want to stay too!" Haru shouted, raising her hand from the side.
Shota, his eyes brimming with tears, was deeply moved: "You.you.this bunch."
Yuhi Teruharu nodded, quite satisfied, and said, "Not bad, not bad, that's what comrades should be like!Since you value comrades so much, then."
The three children looked at Yuhi Teruharu with hopeful eyes, hoping that he would invite Sarutobi Shota together.
Yuhi Teruharu said with a mischievous grin, "Then the three of you can stay!This big meal is on the house.Remember to meet in front of the Hokage Building at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, and we'll start accepting missions.That's all!Bye-bye!"
