Chapter 45 Zabuza ran away!
Chapter 45 Zabuza ran away!
Kakashi looked at Yoru's puzzled expression and was speechless.
However, when he realized that Yoru's chakra was Sage Chakra, he understood.
Sage Chakra is indeed of higher quality than ordinary chakra, so he can understand why the same ninjutsu consumes less Sage Chakra.
"You just learned the Water Dragon Bullet technique, didn't you?"
Kakashi asked.
Yoru nodded: "When I saw him form the hand seals, I could feel his chakra flowing. Plus, this ninjutsu isn't too difficult, so I gave it a try, and I didn't expect it to actually work."
Upon hearing what Yoru said, Kakashi was at a loss for words.
"This ninjutsu is quite difficult; B-rank ninjutsu is a technique that only Jonin can master."
Although Kakashi said that, Yoru didn't care.
He didn't think it was that difficult for him to replicate the Water Dragon Bullet technique on the spot.
Or rather, the Water Dragon Bullet technique posed no difficulty for him.
He could clearly sense the flow of chakra within Zabuza's body.
In a sense, Yoruha is not much different from someone who possesses the Sharingan or Byakugan.
Zabuza, standing some distance away, looked at Yoru with unusually grave eyes.
"This kid is really tough to deal with. If he teams up with Kakashi, this mission will be difficult to complete."
If he wants to kill Tazuna, he must first eliminate Yoru.
Even if he could defeat Yoru, Kakashi, who was standing nearby, wouldn't just stand by and do nothing.
With this in mind, Zabuza decisively abandoned the assassination attempt.
"You brat, I'll kill you the next time we meet."
Before leaving, Zabuza uttered a harsh threat to Yoru.
After saying that, he disappeared into the lake.
Yoru looked at the lake where Zabuza had disappeared and murmured to himself, "The next time we meet, maybe it won't be you killing me."
Ye Yu dislikes being threatened the most.
Moreover, through this battle, he already knew roughly Zabuza's strength.
He certainly possesses the strength of an elite Jonin.
If Ye Yu were to fight him one-on-one, Ye Yu might be the one who dies in the end.
With Kakashi present, in a two-on-one situation, Yoru was confident that Zabuza would be the one to die.
Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief after Zabuza left.
After all, apart from Sakura, all the students he brought were people that Konoha absolutely could not afford to have any mishaps with.
Naruto, of course, is the son of the Fourth Hokage and the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails.
Sasuke is the last survivor of the Uchiha clan. The Third Hokage also had high hopes for him and wanted him to grow up, develop his Sharingan, and eventually control the Nine-Tails inside Naruto.
Yoru was the person Kakashi valued most, someone he considered his personal disciple.
However, if Zabuza doesn't leave, it's unlikely he'll be able to successfully kill Tazuna.
Although Yoru's strength may not be as great as Zabuza's, with him around, Zabuza's strength would definitely not be able to defeat the combined strength of Yoru and Kakashi.
Sasuke and Naruto walked over.
The way the two looked at Ye Yu was completely different from before.
In this battle, Ye Yu demonstrated a strength far exceeding theirs.
They're not even on the same level anymore.
"Kakashi-sensei, did you teach Yoru a lot of ninjutsu? He's already much stronger than us."
Naruto pouted.
Naruto believes that Yoru's strength comes from Kakashi secretly tutoring him.
Sasuke, however, did not think so.
He could sense that Yoru's fighting style was completely different from Kakashi's.
Moreover, he estimated that Kakashi wouldn't be able to unleash the Water Dragon Bullet Technique just now.
As someone from the Uchiha clan, he knew very well that the ninjutsu that Yoru had just released had exceeded the power of the Water Dragon Bullet Technique itself.
Yoru, like him and Naruto, must have something special about him.
Kakashi, seeing Naruto's indignant expression, explained, "I never taught him this ninjutsu."
Naruto, of course, didn't believe it: "Impossible. That ninjutsu was so complicated just from the hand seals. Did Yoru develop it himself?"
Kakashi patted Naruto on the shoulder and looked at him seriously, saying, "Is it possible that he imitated Zabuza's release?"
"Kakashi-sensei, do you think I'm an idiot?"
"How could that be? If you could learn it just by watching, wouldn't I already know a lot of ninjutsu by now?"
Naruto didn't really learn anything at the Ninja Academy.
If it weren't for the Third Hokage's protection, he would have been expelled from the Ninja Academy long ago, based on his grades.
He often got zero marks in all subjects, and by graduation, he hadn't even learned how to be in two places at once.
This is the most basic ninjutsu; every ninja in a ninja academy can learn it.
The students selected for the Ninja Academy are all exceptionally talented.
Konoha only has one ninja academy, and each year only a few dozen people are selected to enter the academy.
Judging from the Fourth Shinobi World War, Konoha had at least 10,000 ninjas.
It's clearly impossible that they all came from ninja academies.
Most ninjas in the ninja world do not actually come from ninja academies, but are selected through a process.
Just like the Chunin Exams, not all Chunin can be promoted by taking the Chunin Exams. Most Chunin are promoted through village recognition. As long as the village thinks you have the ability to become a Chunin, you will be promoted to Chunin.
Those who can participate in the Chunin Exams are basically the elites of their respective villages.
The Chunin Exams are not ordinary exams, but a competition for each village to showcase its best juniors.
Similarly, the same applies to ninja academies; ordinary people are simply not qualified to enter them.
Not only did Naruto get into the Ninja Academy, but his grades were also terrible, yet he was still able to stay there. This shows how much favoritism the Third Hokage gave him.
Naruto, however, was clearly unaware of these things.
He really didn't learn anything at the ninja academy.
Forget about ninjutsu, they don't even know the most basic theoretical knowledge.
On the contrary, Sakura is the real genius at the Ninja Academy.
In terms of theoretical knowledge of ninjas, she is even inferior to Sasuke.
During the Chunin Exams, Sasuke and Naruto had no idea how to answer many of the questions, as they were similar in ability.
But Sakura can do them all.
Of course, that exam tested a ninja's ability to gather intelligence.
Sakura passed the test thanks to her solid theoretical knowledge.
Therefore, Naruto believed that it was impossible to learn ninjutsu just by watching.
That's pure fantasy.
Sasuke, however, knew very well that he had even seen it before.
That person was his older brother, the one he had always wanted to kill, Uchiha Itachi.
Itachi Uchiha was able to unleash the same ninjutsu after seeing his father demonstrate it once.
He needs to cultivate for a long time before he can unleash it.
Sasuke looked at Yoru and seemed to see Itachi Uchiha from back then.
"Is Ye Yu's talent the same as that man's?"
"No, perhaps Ye Yu's talent is even greater than that man's."
"After all, Yoru learned a B-rank ninjutsu during the battle, and the power he unleashed was already stronger than that of the one he learned from."
"If I can defeat Ye Yu, I can definitely defeat that man."
Sasuke clenched his fist.
He was initially somewhat jealous of Ye Yu.
He now considers Ye Yu as the goal he aims to surpass.
