“Since you destroyed a lot of houses in Konoha with your Tree World Descent yesterday, I’ll teach you a simple...”
“Wood Style jutsu for building houses... Wood Style: Four-Pillar Hut.”
Yamato said with a hint of pride: “Once you learn this, you can instantly build a complex wooden house, very convenient.”
After finishing his words, Yamato lowered his head and noticed a troubled expression on Ya Yu’s face.
“What’s wrong Ya Yu, do you think this jutsu is too complicated? If you think it’s hard, I have simpler ones.”
Yamato asked with concern.
Ya Yu shook his head and confessed:
“When I first learned Wood Style, thinking about building a house for myself, I seemed to have inadvertently mastered this jutsu.”
As he spoke, fearing that Yamato wouldn't believe him, Ya Yu formed a hand seal.
After completing the hand seal, Ya Yu pressed his hand to the ground!
“Wood Style: Four-Pillar Hut Jutsu!”
“Whoosh!”
A complex wooden house instantly rose from the ground!
Yamato: This
My God...
Yamato stared at the house Ya Yu built with the Four-Pillar Hut Jutsu, his eyes glazed over.
Because the house Ya Yu built was much better than his!
The house was fully furnished, even with a wooden bed, wooden table, and wooden stools, and even a wardrobe!
Yamato pinched himself.
Yamato! Hold on!
You can’t lose to this kid’s talent!
Then, Yamato hesitated for a moment before saying: “Since you’ve mastered Four-Pillar Hut, you should know its advanced version, the Connecting Pillar Great House...”
Ya Yu responded innocently:
“I grasped that at the same time, just a slight modification, and by consuming a little more chakra I can achieve it.”
Yamato, without making a sound, slapped himself twice in the face.
Stupid!
Ya Yu is so smart, he must have easily grasped the transition from basic to advanced!
“Then… Wooden Man Clone…”
Yamato tried asking.
Ya Yu: “I tried it the night I learned Wood Style. The Wooden Man Clone is stronger than a regular Shadow Clone, not easy to be seen through, but it can’t be as numerous as Multiple Shadow Clone…”
Yamato’s lips twitched as he listened, and he continued to ask persistently:
“Wood Style Substitute?”
“I can do it.”
“Wood Style: Tree World Wall?”
“I can do it.”
“Wood Style: Thorn Killing?”
“I can do it.”
“…”
Then, Yamato listed all the Wood Style techniques he knew.
Each time he heard Ya Yu say “I can do it,” his heart grew colder!
In the end, Yamato suffered a blow, his eyes empty.
With a sliver of hope, he uttered a technique: “Kuō’ān Rù Yō Chuí Shǒu! You surely can’t do this one, right?! This is a special technique used to suppress Tailed Beast chakra!”
He was right, Ya Yu had never considered this aspect of Wood Style, and he didn’t know this technique.
“No.”
Ya Yu honestly shook his head.
Afterwards.
With the last bit of willpower, Yamato managed to teach Ya Yu Kuō’ān Rù Yō Chuí Shǒu.
After confirming that Ya Yu mastered this technique, Yamato turned and left.
Exhausted both mentally and physically, he decided never to see Ya Yu again in his life!
Life is not worth living!
The things he’d strived for for decades, someone else achieved effortlessly!
His spirit was completely broken!
…
On the other hand.
Ya Yu, staring at the direction Yamato disappeared in, was stunned.
What’s wrong with my teacher?
The resourceful Ya Yu quickly thought.
Could it be that I said “I can do it” to all the jutsu my teacher just mentioned, making him think I’m arrogant and making him angry?
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Ya Yu sighed softly.
It’s all my fault for being hasty!
Even if I had already mastered those skills, I should have observed how my teacher demonstrated them.
After all, it’s the essence of my teacher’s years of practice!
A true master should always maintain the mindset of a student and humbly seek guidance!
If I act on my own, my teacher will definitely think I’m not taking jutsu seriously, and I’m disrespecting his old age!
Becoming a ninja is truly not easy!
…
Late at night.
The door to the Third Hokage’s house was knocked on.
The person knocking seemed particularly anxious, the knocking sound was both urgent and heavy.
“Don’t worry, don’t worry, I’m coming!”
The Third Hokage hurriedly put on his clothes and got out of bed.
He was worried, wondering if something major had happened in the village to make someone wake him up so late!
Wearing his clothes, the Third Hokage quickly opened the door.
He only then realized that Yamato with his mask on stood outside.
“Yamato, what brings you here so late, is there an emergency in the ANBU?”
The Third Hokage asked.
Yamato seemed dazed, standing there blankly, not responding for a long time.
The Third Hokage suddenly remembered that Yamato had been busy teaching Ya Yu jutsu these past two days.
“Could something have happened to Ya Yu?”
The Third Hokage asked anxiously.
Ya Yu is a rare genius!
If such a genius met with any mishap, it would be a huge loss for Konoha!
Seeing that Yamato was still in a daze, the Third Hokage grew impatient.
“What are you standing there doing in a daze? Speak!”
“Ya Yu’s fine, Hokage-sama, I won’t make fun of my junior brother anymore.”
After a long time, Yamato mumbled.
The Third Hokage: ??
“What’s going on? Tell me in detail!”
Then, Yamato, who was shattered after the blow, slowly recounted Ya Yu’s astonishing comprehension.
The Third Hokage listened to Yamato’s slow narration from the side.
Each time Yamato mentioned a detail, his heart skipped a beat!
Finally, Yamato made his closing statement.
“Hokage-sama, it’s not that I can’t take it, it’s just that that kid’s comprehension is too amazing!”
“He just wanted to move a piece of wood, and he spontaneously invented the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, can you believe that?!”
“He doesn’t need any teacher at all, his curiosity and interest are his best teachers!”
The Third Hokage listened, “Hiss~~~~”
This was the second time he’d shown such a shocked expression in two days.
The first time was when he learned about Ya Yu’s Tree World Descent!
Ya Yu’s comprehension couldn’t be described as merely astonishing!
The Third Hokage had thought before that Ya Yu might become the next generation’s God of Shinobi!
But now, it seemed that this had become a certainty!
