Chapter 43
Wood Release Tree World Descent!

Kakashi was shocked, his expression grave.

Yamato was the only ninja in Konoha who could use Wood Style!!

Therefore, it was highly likely that Yamato had taught Yuu Wood Style!!

The Third Hokage, seated on his chair, answered Kakashi's earlier question.

"It's normal for you not to know. This matter was kept extremely confidential. Besides me and Yamato, you're the only third person in Konoha who knows about it."

Hearing the Third's explanation, Kakashi's guess became even more certain.

But this matter was simply too bizarre and unbelievable!

Kakashi was eager to ask.

But he decided to report his mission first.

Then, Kakashi gave a detailed report of everything that happened during his mission to the Land of Waves.

Yamato, who was listening, wanted to slip away, but the Third had already told him to stay.

So, he had to kneel on one side, listening to Kakashi recount Yuu's amazing feats.

However, even though Yamato was mentally prepared.

He was still deeply shocked to hear that Yuu had learned the Flying Thunder God Technique and various nature transformations!

Monster!!

He actually managed to use an ordinary C-rank jutsu with the power of an A-rank jutsu!

Even more outrageous, he seemed to have learned Summoning Jutsu on his own?!

And this kid was taking on such a difficult mission for the first time.

He didn't even change his expression and went head-to-head with the previous Ghostly Demon Zabuza!

The Third Hokage, sitting in front.

After listening to Kakashi's winding and convoluted account of the mission.

His eyes were wide with astonishment!

He mastered all nature transformations and was known as the Professor of the Ninja World.

But this kid, Yuu, seemed to have a deeper understanding of various nature transformations than he did!

The Third hurriedly asked: "Did he really release a Fire Dragon Jutsu that could destroy half a forest? And did he use Fire Release to burn the ice mirror of the Ice Release ninja?!"

"That's right."

Kakashi chuckled and nodded: "The most depressing thing is that on the way back to the village, he even learned my 'Earth Release: Tracking Fang Jutsu' that I showed him, in less than fifteen minutes! I didn't teach him a single word!"

The Third Hokage and Yamato were both speechless with astonishment!

Kakashi changed the subject: "By the way, I've always been curious, what did you have Yamato teach Yuu?"

Even though he had a pretty good idea, there were some things that he had to hear from the Hokage himself.

The Third spread his hands: "What else could it be, but Wood Style?"

"But I warned that kid not to use Wood Style unless his life was threatened."

Even though Kakashi had guessed the result.

Hearing it firsthand from the Third Hokage.

Kakashi was still stunned!

Wood Style!!

"Gulp!"

Kakashi involuntarily swallowed his saliva.

So, this kid was holding back during the mission!

In a critical situation, he actually hid his Wood Style!

Goodness!

A super ninja who can use Wood Style and the Flying Thunder God Technique!

Wait!

Kakashi suddenly remembered something that didn't make sense: "The forest that appeared out of thin air in the village a few days ago, was it..."

Yamato and the Third Hokage nodded together: "That's right, it was his 'Wood Style: Tree Boundary Descent'."

Kakashi: "Do I really need to teach a student like this?!"

With his strength, he could easily handle a class by himself, right?!

The Third Hokage keenly noticed Kakashi's petrified look.

Fearing that Kakashi would also throw in the towel like Yamato.

He quickly added: "Kakashi, he's like a rough gem, and he needs a good teacher right now!"

"And you, who have grasped the true meaning of being a ninja, are undoubtedly the most suitable teacher for him!"

After listening to the Third, a sense of mission flooded Kakashi's heart.

After all, he was cultivating the future super ninja of Konoha!

However, he was reserved about the Third's description of Yuu's shortcomings.

Because during this mission, Kakashi discovered.

Yuu not only chose his jutsu precisely, but the effects were often unexpected.

More importantly, this guy understood and utilized "deception" between ninjas perfectly!

As for his personality.

Although this kid was cautious, he never showed fear.

It's just that he hasn't found his own "Ninja Way" yet and needs someone to guide him.

After much thought, Kakashi decided to guide Yuu himself!

"Understood, Hokage-sama, I will nurture Yuu well!"

Kakashi promised.

The Third Hokage breathed a sigh of relief: "Good, then you can go back now."

On the other side, at the entrance of the village.

Yuu was being surrounded by a few classmates, asking him all sorts of questions.

Shikamaru wanted to know how Yuu learned all those jutsu;

Sakura wanted to know who was stronger now, Yuu or Sasuke;

Ino was worried that Yuu had put in a lot of effort learning such difficult jutsu and needed to rest and recuperate.

Only Choji, on the side, was munching on a bag of potato chips, enjoying himself.

While eating, Choji casually said to Naruto and Sasuke next to him: "This guy Yuu is really popular."

The contrast was clear: Naruto and Sasuke were being ignored, while Yuu was surrounded by excitement.

"No way! I'm going to start training too! I can't be left behind by that guy Yuu!"

Naruto clenched his fist, his fighting spirit surging.

Sasuke didn't say anything, just thinking about going home to train.

Seeing Naruto and Sasuke leave, Yuu made an excuse and quickly slipped away.

Leaving everyone staring at his back, each with their own thoughts.

"I knew Yuu could do it."

Ino was genuinely happy for Yuu.

Shikamaru suddenly said: "He doesn't realize your feelings for him, does he?"

Ino blushed, her secret thoughts exposed, and she quickly retorted: "What feelings? What are you talking about?"

Shikamaru sighed: "Alright, stop pretending, your concern and affection for him are written all over your face."

Ino: "... "

Shikamaru continued: "He learned the super difficult S-rank forbidden technique, Flying Thunder God, at such a young age, his future is limitless."

"There will be more and more girls who want to get close to him, you have to seize the opportunity."

Ino: "Can't you just say something nice?!"

Shikamaru shrugged: "Just telling the truth."

Back home, Naruto, who was determined to train, fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

After all, he had been walking all day.

And Yuu, who had used the Flying Thunder God Technique to travel all the way, didn't feel tired at all, so he volunteered to cook.

He planned to make braised pork tonight, he hadn't had it in a long time.

So, Yuu planned to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to the market to buy groceries.

He left the Flying Thunder God Technique mark in a hidden corner of the market.

...

At this moment, Konohamaru was leading his two companions, pondering over a strange mark on the wall.

"What is this, it looks like a tree, but it's strangely shaped, and it feels kind of familiar."

Konohamaru lay on the ground, speaking in a serious tone.

The bespectacled boy, Udon, said: "It's like some kind of talisman, it feels mysterious!"

The girl, Moegi, said: "Stop imagining things, you two. It's clearly just a child's scribble, it just happens to be the shape of a tree."

As they were speaking, Yuu suddenly appeared using the Flying Thunder God Technique!
