Chapter 8
A-Rank Ninjutsu! Trouble!

The next day.

Shuriken test.

Naruto went first, ahead of Ya Yu.

As soon as he stepped onto the field, he passed all the tests, even exceeding Iruka-sensei's expectations!

This surprised Iruka a little!

After all, Naruto was known as the dead last!

Two days ago, he had just discovered that Ya Yu was a genius. Was Naruto going to make a comeback?!

"Iruka-sensei, I passed, right?"

After throwing a set of Kunai, Naruto excitedly asked.

Iruka nodded reassuringly: "Naruto, it seems you've put in a lot of effort lately. Your Kunai accuracy is so high, keep it up."

"Yay!"

Naruto was overjoyed, making a victory sign: "Thanks to Ya Yu's training last night. Too bad I didn't learn the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique, otherwise, Iruka-sensei, you would have thought differently of me..."

Iruka seemed to have heard something incredible, his mouth twitched, and he questioned: "Wh...what?"

"Ya Yu trained me last night..."

Naruto looked innocent.

Iruka: "Not that part, the next sentence."

"Ya Yu taught me the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique?"

Naruto asked tentatively.

Iruka's pupils shrunk, looking at Naruto's innocent face, it didn't seem like he was lying!

So, Ya Yu mastered the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique?!

That was an A-ranked Ninjutsu created by the Third Hokage!

Iruka couldn't keep a straight face, and called out to Ya Yu, who was standing beside him.

"That... Ya Yu, is that true?"

Ya Yu walked over honestly, and replied in a matter-of-fact tone: "Yeah, last night after I went home, I was practicing Shuriken..."

"Then I suddenly thought, could I combine the Shadow Clone Technique with Shuriken... and then I successfully tried it..."

Ya Yu said, while asking with a hint of anticipation.

"Iruka-sensei, didn't you say that learning Ninjutsu requires both understanding and flexibility? This is also considered daring to try, right?"

He felt that Iruka-sensei should be more satisfied with him after creating the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique.

Actually, it was more than just satisfaction!

Iruka's heart was like a stormy sea when he heard Ya Yu casually say that he had comprehended an A-ranked Ninjutsu!

Even if it was as Hokage-sama said, this was the result of Ya Yu's five years of accumulation!

This guy was too unfair!

He could actually comprehend an A-ranked Ninjutsu with his own strength!

This wasn't something that could be done simply with time!

It also required extraordinary talent and a deep understanding of Ninjutsu!

"Cough... Ya Yu, how about you demonstrate it to me?"

Iruka suggested.

Ya Yu nodded, his face filled with joy, it seemed that he had really understood this time.

"Alright."

Then, Ya Yu walked onto the training ground.

Several wooden humanoid dummies were placed as targets, dozens of meters away from him.

The students looked at Ya Yu on the training ground, whispering to each other.

"Hey, Ya Yu really learned the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique?"

Choji Akimichi munched on potato chips, asking Shikamaru Nara beside him.

"It's unlikely. Although Ya Yu learned the Multi-element Shadow Clone Technique yesterday, it feels like the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique is more difficult."

Shikamaru analyzed: "It sounds very complicated."

"I see."

After hearing Shikamaru's analysis, Choji grabbed another handful of chips and stuffed them into his mouth.

Not far from Shikamaru, Sasuke, who was always aloof, stared intently at Ya Yu on the field.

Given Ya Yu's performance these past two days, he had to take this new genius seriously!

And, he was silently comparing himself to him in his heart!

Although Ya Yu demonstrated the Multi-Shadow Clone Technique and Multi-element Shadow Clone Technique with an absolute advantage yesterday, he would never give up!

"Ya Yu, let me see what other surprises you can bring me."

Sasuke muttered softly.

"Sasuke~"

Next to Sasuke, Sakura saw Sasuke's serious expression.

She called out in a sweet voice, then said: "That guy must be bragging, thinking the Multi-Shadow Clone Technique is easy to learn, it's not that simple."

"Anyway, I don't believe it."

"Shhh."

Before Sakura could finish, Sasuke motioned for her to be quiet.

Because, Ya Yu on the training field, moved!

Ya Yu had Shuriken clutched between his fingers, with a "whoosh," he threw all the Shuriken from both hands!

The Shuriken flew extremely fast, straight towards the wooden dummy target in front.

Taking advantage of his empty hands, Ya Yu quickly formed hand seals!

"Ugly, Dog, Dragon, Rat, Dog, Pig, Snake, Tiger."

While forming the hand seals, Ya Yu muttered quickly, his hand speed was so fast it almost became a blur!

Then!

The seals were complete!

"Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

There were originally only a dozen or so Shuriken in mid-air, instantly splitting, transforming into thousands upon thousands!

A black rain of Shuriken!

A torrent of Shuriken!

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang..."

Tens of thousands of Shuriken all hit the wooden dummies, in a blink of an eye, they were completely filled with Shuriken!

The extra Shuriken flew towards the surrounding walls of the training ground!

"Clang clang clang!"

The Shuriken covered the wall behind, turning it into a metallic black!

Many even flew out of the courtyard walls, landing outside the school

Iruka was already dumbfounded.

What kind of monster student did I get?!

This terrifying number of Shuriken clones!

Fortunately, they only hit the wooden dummies. If these Shuriken were all thrown at the enemy, they would definitely be riddled with holes!

Sasuke was also stunned.

He actually did it!

The Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!

And he even cloned thousands at once!

Is this really something you can comprehend through your own efforts?!

While puzzled, Sasuke was also very suspicious!

He couldn't accept it, people are always comparing themselves, it's infuriating!

It must have been that old man, the Third, giving Ya Yu special training!

Yes, it must be that!

Shikamaru on the other side was also slightly shocked: "He... he actually accomplished something so troublesome."

Sakura looked at Ya Yu's back on the training field with complex eyes.

Is this really the Ninjutsu newbie she mocked before?!

This talent is too outrageous!

"So cool."

Ino Yamanaka, the girl, covered her face, looking at Ya Yu's not-so-tall figure.

Why didn't I find Ya Yu this cool before!

Just as everyone was in their own state of surprise and contemplation, the training ground door was knocked on.

Iruka was just about to praise Ya Yu, but before he could speak, he went to open the door.

As the door opened.

A Konoha Chunin stood outside, with several Shuriken stuck in his head, bleeding profusely.

"What in the world are you guys doing at the Ninja Academy! I just finished breakfast and came out for a walk, and suddenly hundreds of Shuriken fell from the sky!"

"Can you understand my feelings?! Hundreds of Shuriken! I almost became a sieve!!"

"...Hundreds of Shuriken! I almost became a sieve..."

The Chunin, who was still bleeding from the head, shouted loudly.

Iruka kept apologizing, and finally took the Chunin to the medical room.

Before leaving, he turned back and glared fiercely at Ya Yu, as if to say: You little rascal, just wait for me! (?_?)

Ya Yu felt Iruka-sensei's gaze and shrank his neck.

Finished!

I've caused trouble again!
