Chapter 38: Monster
A 3-year-old Genin—if this were made public, it would inevitably draw the attention of the entire ninja world!
But Li Jie xuan had no intention of doing that, because the title of "genius" was simply too heavy…
In the near future, Konoha would give rise to a true genius!
Graduating from the Ninja Academy at five, promoted to Chunin at six, and already a Jonin by twelve. During that time, he even independently created an S-rank ninjutsu capable of cutting lightning—Lightning Blade! He was Hatake Kakashi, a genius unlike any that had ever appeared in Konoha's history!
Yet even so, Hatake Kakashi barely won any battles in his life. Either he lost, or it ended in a draw, earning him the nickname "Hatake Fifty-Fifty."
In the end, even when it came to saving the world, he was just tagging along behind his own student, barely contributing.
Aside from the eye Obito gave him, his sense of presence was almost zero…
"Forget it, I'm not ready to graduate yet…"
Li Jie xuan gently shook his head. "With my current strength, going to the battlefield recklessly would just be throwing my life away!"
"Looks like you already know?"
Yamada Tsugiyuki nodded. "Konoha has already started sending Genin to the battlefield!"
The brutality of this war could no longer be described with words…
"Mm…"
Li Jie xuan nodded lightly.
Yesterday, that guy Might Guy had already mentioned it.
"Little Jie xuan, around this time, we Genin will probably be sent to the battlefield in batches over the course of the year. When that happens, I'll send you and Little Duy to the baby care center where you were discovered. The owner there, Tsuruta, has a pretty good reputation…"
"Might Guy, that idiot…"
Li Jie xuan shook his head helplessly. Even if he didn't know that he himself had been abandoned there, he should at least know that the owner—Tsuruta—was already dead…
"No matter what, I can't let that idiot Might Guy go to the battlefield!"
Li Jie xuan turned his head and smiled as he slung an arm around Yamada Tsugiyuki. "Teacher Tsugiyuki, since I've already learned the Three Techniques, shouldn't you teach me something new?"
Hearing this, Yamada Tsugiyuki gave a bitter smile. He had really boarded a pirate ship this time! Still—a 3-year-old Genin!
This might very well be the most correct investment he would make in his entire life…
"Alright. Aside from my family's secret techniques, I'll teach you all the ninjutsu I know!"
As he spoke, a troubled expression appeared on Yamada Tsugiyuki's face. "But there's only one year. Without buying scrolls, the difficulty of learning will be extremely high…"
Yamada Tsugiyuki was an elite Chunin. In total, he had mastered one A-rank ninjutsu, three B-rank ninjutsu, and more than twenty C-rank ninjutsu. As for D-rank techniques, they were too numerous to count. Unfortunately, the vast majority of these were family-secret techniques.
What Yamada Tsugiyuki could teach Li Jie xuan amounted to only one B-rank ninjutsu and ten C-rank ninjutsu!
"Before learning ninjutsu, I need to test your chakra nature!"
Yamada Tsugiyuki smiled as he took out a sheet of chakra test paper from a drawer, saying proudly, "The reason I've mastered so many ninjutsu is because I have two chakra natures—cutting wind and gentle water."
As he spoke, a crack suddenly appeared in the chakra test paper in his hand, and then it became damp.
"Chakra itself has no inherent nature. The chakra test paper only measures your affinity for different chakra transformations."
Yamada Tsugiyuki smiled as he handed a sheet of chakra test paper to Li Jie xuan. "To some extent, the more attributes you can transform, the higher your aptitude!"
Yamada Tsugiyuki was very much looking forward to how many changes Li Jie xuan would trigger! In fact, Li Jie xuan himself was also very curious about his own chakra nature…
The moment he took the test paper, a not-too-large blue electric arc suddenly flashed, leaving scorch marks from the shock!
"Lightning?"
Immediately after, the entire sheet of paper suddenly exploded…
Yamada Tsugiyuki picked up the fragments of the chakra test paper in a daze. "This one is water…"
"This one is fire…"
His muttering grew louder and more frantic. "Wind, earth, yin, yang…"
"How is this possible? A full seven transformations?"
Yamada Tsugiyuki stared blankly at Li Jie xuan, and after a long while, only managed to spit out two words:
"Monster!"
