Hearing this, Hibiki let out a scoff.
“Young Master, stop being silly. What could someone like that teach you?”
“He spent the first five years at the Ninja Academy without even learning a proper jutsu.”
“He only managed to learn the Shadow Clone Technique recently after a lucky break... Spending too much time with him, you'll turn into a fool.”
Hibiki spoke, his gaze turning towards Ya Yu.
Even with his glasses on, Ya Yu could feel the icy disdain and a trace of mockery through the lenses!
He had been seeing such looks since he was young.
Initially, such coldness felt like a towering mountain.
But years of cold indifference had made Ya Yu’s psyche stronger than ever!
“I may have poor grades, but it was Konohamaru who begged me to teach him jutsu.”
Ya Yu responded to Hibiki directly.
He knew he had shallow roots in Konohagakure, so he usually avoided conflict.
But Konohamaru’s attitude today had made him very displeased!
Hibiki continued mercilessly, “Young Master doesn’t understand! Do you think you really have the ability to teach Young Master?”
“Besides, being able to teach the Hokage’s grandson jutsu is the honor of a lifetime for you!”
Even Konohamaru felt angry after listening to his teacher’s words.
“Ya Yu-nii is a great nii-san, and he teaches amazing jutsu!”
“Why is Sensei belittling nii-san?!”
Meanwhile, in the Hokage’s office.
The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, gazed at the crystal ball on the desk.
The scene reflected in the ball was that of Ya Yu confronting Hibiki in the wilderness.
“Ya Yu and Hibiki have met. I wonder how that kid will handle this.”
“Young Master, I'm not trying to belittle that underachiever. I’m just speaking the truth.”
Hibiki pushed up his sunglasses, a confident expression on his face.
To prove that what his brother taught was truly effective,
Konohamaru extended his hands, his palms starting to gather a chakra vortex, trying to create a Rasengan: “Sensei, look, this is what nii-san taught me. It's very useful, very powerful!”
Witnessing this, Hibiki felt a slight jolt of surprise.
As a senior ninja instructor, he had a deep understanding of the village's jutsu.
Therefore, he immediately recognized it.
The way Young Master controlled his chakra, the starting hand gesture, seemed to be that of the A-rank jutsu, Rasengan, invented by the Fourth Hokage!
This jutsu was something Hibiki himself didn't know, let alone teach Konohamaru!
What was even more important was that the Rasengan in Young Master’s hands was already taking shape!
Could it be that this underachiever taught the jutsu to Young Master?
Doubt began to arise in Hibiki's heart.
But he quickly dismissed the thought.
An underachiever who relied on luck for even the Shadow Clone Technique couldn’t possibly have the ability to teach an A-rank jutsu to anyone!
It must be because Young Master is incredibly talented!
Yes! It must be that!
“Young Master, you being able to gather a chakra vortex is because of your excellent comprehension. What insights could that underachiever possibly have?”
Hibiki continued to be unyielding in his words.
Ya Yu was stunned on the side.
This…
Hibiki actually praised Konohamaru’s comprehension?
Konohamaru’s comprehension was anything but good!
But Ya Yu soon figured it out.
Hibiki was definitely afraid of the Hokage’s authority, so he was deliberately flattering Konohamaru.
No matter how poorly Konohamaru performed, he had to say good things about him!
“If you want to teach others jutsu, you should evaluate their weaknesses fairly. Those who are afraid of power can't be good teachers!”
Realizing this, Ya Yu didn't hesitate to criticize Hibiki.
Hibiki: “???”
This kid dares to accuse me of having no teaching ethics?!
All these years, he has been diligently educating his students, and his teaching methods are loved by his students.
He has even nurtured numerous Hokage candidates!
And today, he was actually being criticized by a non-ninja kid for having no teaching ethics?!
“Explain yourself! Otherwise, this isn't over!”
A fierce glint flashed in Hibiki’s eyes.
Ya Yu’s words had crossed his line!
He has always dedicated himself to education, viewing ninja instructors as the noblest profession and making nurturing a Hokage his life’s pursuit.
Therefore, he would not allow anyone to question his professionalism in teaching!
Facing Hibiki’s words, Ya Yu chose to ignore him.
He turned his head to look at Konohamaru who was trying to prove himself.
At this moment, the chakra vortex Konohamaru was gathering was better than ever, getting closer to the shape of a Rasengan.
Ya Yu knew this kid was close to success, so he reminded him timely, “Pay attention to your breathing. Don’t let your chakra go out of control... Feel every flow of chakra carefully. Let them be under your control...”
Listening to his brother’s guidance, Konohamaru’s eyes became more determined.
“Whoosh...”
He injected another bit of chakra into the vortex.
Then, following Ya Yu’s words, he tried his best to maintain the raging chakra vortex in his palm, trying to achieve some kind of balance...
This step was both difficult and time-consuming.
Sweat dripped down from Konohamaru’s forehead one drop at a time.
Just maintaining this state, Konohamaru spent more than two hours.
Finally, after two more hours.
The chakra vortex in Konohamaru’s hand showed signs of balance!
Ya Yu quickly reminded him again, “Don’t be afraid. Don’t be nervous. Control it!”
“Don’t worry, nii-san. I’m Konohamaru, the boy who will become the Fifth Hokage!”
Konohamaru shouted with high spirits.
Then, he continued to inject chakra into the chakra vortex in his hand!
Effort!
As chakra continued to flow in, a blue-white chakra sphere formed in Konohamaru’s palm!
The moment the chakra sphere formed, Konohamaru’s wrist trembled violently!
It was clear that balance was about to be lost!
“Young Master, be careful not to hurt yourself!”
Hibiki rushed forward, wanting to extinguish the chakra sphere in Konohamaru’s hand to protect him.
At least, help Konohamaru stabilize the Rasengan in his hand.
“Slap!”
With a crisp sound, Ya Yu gently placed his palm on Konohamaru’s wrist.
Then, Ya Yu carefully channeled the purest chakra from his body.
He cautiously wrapped it around the Rasengan spinning around Konohamaru.
At this moment, Hibiki standing behind was almost bugging out!
Ya Yu was actually using his chakra to help Young Master maintain the stability of the Rasengan.
He was also using chakra to prevent Young Master’s chakra from going out of control!!
This kind of ability to manipulate chakra with such precision!
Even he, who had been a Jonin for many years, couldn’t do it!
It was incredible!
This guy, is he really the one who couldn’t even use a proper jutsu in the first five years of Ninja Academy?!
After another hour of difficult control, Konohamaru finally couldn't hold on anymore.
He gripped the chakra sphere in his hand and slammed it onto the ground!
“Boom!!!”
The raging chakra energy exploded a circular crater on the ground.
The crater was about four to five meters wide, and there were spiral-shaped patterns at the bottom!
Hibiki: “What?!”
These two little guys actually did it?!
How long has Young Master been learning?
He disappeared this morning, right? It hasn’t even been eight hours since then!
This is an A-rank jutsu!!
Normally, it takes Jonin at least ten to fifteen days to learn an A-rank jutsu!!
This is terrifying!
Something is wrong!
To have such achievement within a day is not only because of Young Master’s extraordinary comprehension.
Hibiki’s eyes fell on Ya Yu, who was now looking tired.
It’s also because of this young man!!
