The Third Hokage ignored Yamato's shame, and after receiving confirmation from Yamato, he turned his full attention to Yeya!
This kid is a genius!
An absolute genius!
Recovering from his shock, the Third Hokage felt the remaining Wind Release chakra in the large pit.
He hurriedly asked Yeya: "Where did you learn this jutsu?"
This was the first time he had ever seen such a Wind Release jutsu!
As a jutsu instructor, he had spent years researching various jutsu.
He saw the attack marks left by the Rasengan in the large pit!
But the Rasengan is an attributeless attack, and there would be no Wind attribute chakra.
Therefore, he initially guessed that this was a Wind Release jutsu modified based on the Rasengan!
"I just came up with it."
Yeya answered innocently.
Speaking, Yeya pointed at Yamato on the stretcher: "Just now, I thought he was an assassin sent by another village, so I thought quickly and tried to use Wind Release chakra to simulate the appearance of a kunai..."
"Continue."
The Third Hokage looked at Yeya with questioning eyes, expecting Yeya's further insights.
Yeya met the Third Hokage's gaze and continued, gritting his teeth: "And then I succeeded..."
The Third Hokage: ???
And then I succeeded... just like that...?!
Inventing a jutsu, it was done so easily?!
And it was a powerful Wind Release jutsu!
Even the Second Hokage back then, when he wanted to come up with a new jutsu, had to experiment repeatedly.
You just brushed it off with a sentence!
The Third Hokage was filled with mixed emotions!
He thought Yeya was just a promising talent, who had been hiding his skills, and now finally breaking out.
But now, it seemed that Yeya's talent was simply terrifying!
Until today, the Third Hokage, who had studied jutsu for years, had never seen any ninja use Wind Release jutsu like Yeya!
Even after searching through the ancient jutsu books, there was no record of it!
So, this jutsu was probably created by Yeya himself!
In just a few years of learning jutsu, he not only learned the Rasengan,
But also, based on the basic principles of the Rasengan, he tinkered with a Wind Release jutsu with incredible destructive power!
If this isn't a monster, what is it?!
"Yeya, I'll ask you again, did anyone teach you this move, like Jiraiya or..."
The Third Hokage couldn't help but confirm again.
Yeya thought the Hokage was blaming him for inventing jutsu recklessly and getting into trouble.
"No, I figured it out myself."
Yeya lowered his head.
Seeing this, the Third Hokage didn't ask any further.
He was afraid that other villages would know that Konoha had produced such a super genius, so he quickly told the patrol team, "Keep your mouths shut!"
At the same time, in order to prevent Yeya from getting too arrogant, he deliberately said, "Yeya, you used your jutsu well this time, but your control technique is not good enough, otherwise the house wouldn't have been destroyed..."
"So, don't just focus on learning fancy jutsu, you need to have a specialty, practice it until you master it..."
Yeya nodded after listening.
That's right.
The path of learning jutsu is long and requires constant effort!
I'm just a beginner!
This achievement is nothing!
Thinking about this, he looked up at the Third Hokage.
As expected of the Hokage!
The advice is so insightful!
It makes you realize things!
"Okay, Hokage-sama, I will focus on practicing this jutsu, and practice it until I reach the peak!"
Yeya said seriously.
The Third Hokage listened, his eyes full of approval.
Then, the Third Hokage was about to leave with the Konoha patrol team and the injured Yamato.
Yeya was in a dilemma, his house was gone, where would he sleep tonight?
"Hokage-sama..."
Yeya called out cautiously.
The Third Hokage turned his head and saw Yeya standing blankly in the open space, understanding.
"You can go stay with Naruto tonight."
"Yeya, you're smart, and you're friends with Naruto, so help him out."
"Don't worry, Hokage-sama!"
Yeya nodded.
Not long after, Yeya was sent to Naruto's doorstep by the patrol team.
Standing at the door, Yeya could vaguely hear occasional collisions coming from Naruto's house.
"Naruto!"
Yeya knocked on the door and called out.
A few seconds later, Naruto opened the door and looked at Yeya outside in confusion.
"Yeya, what are you doing here?"
Naruto asked.
Yeya explained: "A ninja from another village attacked my house and blew it up."
Yeya wasn't intentionally deceiving his friend, just that the Third Hokage told him that tonight's events couldn't be shared with others.
Hearing that his friend was so unlucky, Naruto quickly invited Yeya inside: "Wow, you're too unlucky, come in!"
Upon entering the house, Yeya noticed a target log in the middle of Naruto's living room.
There were also several kunai stuck on the log.
Considering the faint sounds he heard outside, and Naruto's sweaty appearance,
It was obvious that Naruto, this kid, was secretly practicing at home!
"How's your training going?"
Yeya asked.
Naruto knew that Yeya had already guessed that he was practicing secretly at home, so his face turned slightly red: "It's okay, I feel like whether I hit the target or not depends on luck."
Yeya thought about the Third Hokage's request to help Naruto out,
And since he had just grasped the essence of kunai, he shared it without reservation.
"Actually, throwing kunai isn't just about hard work, you also need to find techniques in practice, like this..."
Naruto listened to Yeya's explanation, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter: "Yeya, where did you learn all this? Iruka-sensei never taught us this!"
"Of course Iruka-sensei wouldn't teach this, he said we need to figure it out ourselves, I came up with all this."
Yeya said matter-of-factly: "Sasuke, Shikamaru, our classmates, they've probably already mastered it."
"We can't fall behind too much, otherwise we won't graduate."
"Stop dawdling, try it according to what I just said."
Naruto was excited while listening.
According to Yeya,
Did Sasuke and Shikamaru already master kunai splitting?!
And, throwing ten kunai at once, all hitting the target?!
Even, using terrain to bounce kunai ten times and still hit the target?!
This is too scary!
Before, Naruto thought he wasn't far behind his peers.
But after Yeya said this, he realized that he was not even in the same league as his peers!
Forget graduating, he could still sit in the classroom of the Ninja Academy because of Iruka-sensei's favor!
Naruto took a deep breath, accepting reality and quickly getting up.
"Yeya! I guess I have to work even harder from now on, otherwise I won't catch up with everyone!"
Yeya nodded.
"Yeah! Let's work hard together!"
