Chapter 17: (NARUTO) -- CHAPTER 17: Exchange
"I didn't expect that pretending to sleep would lead to such a development..."
"I hope the multiversal FBI doesn't come after me..."
"Technically I'm also a child now..."
.....
The three ate normally. Yuri behaved as usual, while Kurenai acted as if she was possessed by Hinata. Each time she made eye contact with him, she became extremely shy.
This made Yuri couldn't help but feel a little afraid for something, and secretly tease Kurenai several times under the table, and the lack of resistance from the other side made him advance even further.
For him it was quite fun to tease this precocious girl.
Across the dinner table, Anko was the only one who ate and drank without realizing what was going on, finishing three bowls of sweet bean soup in a row.
"By the way, Anko and Yuri, we may not be able to go together next week."
After dinner, Kurenai suddenly announced the news.
"The monthly evaluation of the ninja academy will be in a week. My father will help me practice ninjutsu at home."
"Ehh~ Time flies so fast."
Anko, who was lying comfortably on the couch, sat up suddenly in surprise, panic plastered on her face.
"Damn!! I haven't practiced the three basic jutsus recently. Ahh~ I don't want to embarrass Orochimaru-sensei."
The ninja academy teaches theoretical foundations, suriken techniques, methods of assassination, and various knowledge of war.
However, the true test of genius and what makes the children of the Konoha clans shine is, without a doubt, the monthly practical evaluation.
The reason why Kakashi is known as a 'genius' is because he has easily defeated his peers since entering the ninja academy and so far no one has been able to defeat him.
Although it sounds a bit gross, in the world of Naruto, even though the ninja students are very young, they have a lot of fighting power.
During the Second Shinobi War a few years ago, these students at the Ninja academy could easily take the lives of their enemies. Even Gai, if commanded, could shoot down whoever was his target.
"So, we will practice a lot and after the end of the evaluation we will go out together."
Yuri spoke as he set the table.
...
...
Next day
After the classes were over, Anko and Kurenai each completed their own training.
Yuri continued to practice with Gai in the same place as always. When the two of them were sitting exhausted by the river, Yuri seemed to bring up the subject randomly.
"Gai, the end-of-month evaluation will be carried out in a few days. Have you decided who to challenge?"
"Of course it's going to be Kakashi!"
Gai's passionate voice echoed loudly across the river.
"I'll definitely be able to challenge Kakashi this time!"
"In other words, have you never had a chance before?"
"Uh..." Gai was a little embarrassed.
"Kakashi has never agreed to fight, and I haven't defeated anyone yet to catch up."
"I see."
Yuri nodded thoughtfully.
"In fact, normally in a ninja battle, Taijutsu doesn't have much of an advantage. The shuriken techniques and the confrontation between ninjutsu are the decisive points of the battle."
"Kakashi is proficient in the Three Basic Jutsu and has learned other Ninjutsu. It will be difficult for you to win. Simply put, since you only know Taijutsu, it will be difficult for you to compete with Kakashi."
Gai was a little frustrated with the weaknesses pointed out by Yuri.
He is a genius when it comes to Taijutsu, but in terms of ninjutsu, he is even worse than Uchiha Obito.
"However, if you can master a ninjutsu that doesn't require hand seals, you can largely make up for your shortcomings."
Yuri reached out his right hand and in his palm a light blue sphere appeared in front of Gai.
"It's called rasengan, a ninjutsu that can be released without hand seals. Not only will it not delay your Taijutsu, but it will also greatly improve your attack."
"Gai, as your best friend, to help you defeat Kakashi's youth, I decided to give you the ninjutsu I created!"
"Yuri, you've created your own ninjutsu!"
Gai looked at Yuri incredulously.
"Do you really want to teach me this?"
"Of course! We're best friends, remember!?"
Hearing Yuri's heartfelt and loud response, Gai began to cry, shouted something about youthful passion, and immediately began running 10,000 meters with a rock on his back.
And Yuri raised the corners of his mouth.
Now that the Third Shinobi War has not yet arrived, Namikaze Minato has no idea about the Rasengan. So naturally, this ninjutsu was 'created' by him!
Gai didn't know how important the Rasengan was, but Dai understood that.
With the personalities of these two, he gave a lot of help, and the only thing Dai can repay is, of course, the Eight Gates jutsu that he has studied for over 20 years.
If a taijutsu master has studied the Eight Doors technique for twenty years, teaching him personally would be much beneficial than keeping the rasengan to himself.
---------
The day after Yuri taught Gai the [Rasengan], Dai taught him the Eight Gates jutsu very seriously.
This week's teachings shocked Yuri a lot.
It's no wonder that this jutsu has been forgotten for so many years, and only Dai, Gai, and the future Rock Lee learned it. It involves many points of the human body, chakra and acupuncture.
The way the chakra circulates in the meridians, how to open the eight gates, and how to open the "doors" in the most subtle way to activate the potential, all contain numerous extremely sophisticated and delicate methods.
The human body is inherently fragile, and meridians and acupuncture points are even more susceptible to damage. In addition, the first two doors are in the human brain. If not handled properly, the person can die instantly.
Especially for the practice of the first gate of the Eight Doors, since 'opening the door' is releasing the limitations of the brain to achieve the purpose of exerting 100% of the body's capacity, it must be practiced with great caution.
No wonder Dai was ridiculed for so long and took twenty years to master the entire technique.
With Dai teaching him, Yuri's learning speed was greatly accelerated.
Finally, the night before the ninja school's end-of-month evaluation, Yuri successfully opened the first door.
It was late at night and Yuri, who had carefully deactivated the technique, walked to the balcony of the living room.
He lay down on the ledge and looked up at the deep starry sky, at the orange lights of Konoha's Hidden Village, and at the same time looked at the golden roulette wheel.

[Available Stay Time: 8 days]
"According to the current situation, if I stay here any longer, I probably won't win anything else."
"While it's very good what I've achieved so far, tomorrow's assessment may not be an opportunity to win anything else."
"Since none of the negative effects will affect my main body in my world when I come back, I think I can do something big..."
As if he was thinking about something, Yuri went back to the living room, wrote some letters and kept them in the drawer.
Then he took out a piece of white paper, and as the tip of the pen slid in, the names of several people came up one after the other.
And the name at the center of the entire paper is...
[Shimura Danzo]
...
...
The ninja academy was extremely quiet today.
It was a beautiful day with clear skies and relatively mild winds, but if you look closer, most of the Ninja students had solemn expressions on their faces.
Even Anko, who was usually the most cheerful and lively, was extremely quiet, practicing hand stamp gestures from time to time.
Of course, on this end-of-month evaluation day, some people would be frustrated and others happy.
For example, the members of the Hyuga clan, or the Uchiha clan, except Uchiha Obito, were all very arrogant and couldn't help but want to enjoy the spotlight today.
When the bell rang, the ninja academy students consciously arrived at the training ground.
The lower series are a bit more relaxed and just have to compete to see if they can use the shuriken techniques and the three basic jutsus normally.
As for the senior class where Yuri, Kurenai and Anko were, they had already started fighting others studying under the guidance of the class teachers.
In the beginning, it was still a battle between rookies, and both Kurenai and Anko won easily.
As the fights progressed, the atmosphere in the place became more and more heated, and when everyone saw Kakashi with his white hair in the middle of the field, the atmosphere became even more simmering.
The reason is very simple. This famous genius, son of the white fangs of Konoha, was facing a member of the Uchiha clan who has already activated his Sharingan.
The young man from the Uchiha clan is a graduate who is preparing to graduate this year. If combined with the Sharingan activated, his combat power level was already at the base genin level.
"Come on, Shin!"
"Show this kid how powerful the Uchiha is!"
"Yes! Teach this arrogant brat a lesson!"
"Kyaa~ Kakashi, it's so beautiful!"
"Come on Kakashi, don't let these arrogant idiots do what they want!"
To the cheers of the fanatical female fans around them, the two on the training ground held kunai and looked at each other calmly.
Both sides watched each other carefully, and finally, amidst shouting, the two advanced at the same time.
CLANG!!
The clear sound of the kunai beat was very pleasing to the ears.
The two figures collided in the center of the field like arrows from a rope. In just a few seconds, they advanced against each other dozens of times.
The first battle had already made the spectators explode in applause.
A battle of Ninjutsu was very amazing for them.
But this battle caused them another level of excitement.
The two exchanged blows one after another at a fairly high speed, and then both sides had to move away after neither of them managed to gain any advantage.
Suddenly, the Uchiha clan member's eyes turned red with a small comma swirling around his pupil, now with his Sharingan activated he was able to easily read most of Kakashi's attacks.
To the cheers of the Uchiha clan, Shin showed off the shuriken techniques of the Uchiha clan, and what looked like several black shadows flew straight towards Kakashi's body.
This exquisite technique of manipulating the collision of shurikens to change their trajectories can only be done by someone who possesses the Sharingan.
In this regard, Kakashi showed an excellent hand seal technique, using a fire ninjutsu when the shuriken came towards him.
The flames spat out of Kakashi's mouth spread in all directions, attacking his opponent.
Also, all flames are controlled by chakra, so it's not easy to avoid them all. In addition to the great visual effects, the power is also incredible.
This level of attack caused the surrounding girls to scream.
At the same time, veins appeared around Shin's eyes.
"Using a fire ninjutsu in front of an Uchiha clan member, do you want to die?"
Almost instantly draining most of his chakra, Shin formed the seal and spat out a huge fireball from his mouth.
The C-level ninjutsu completed an instant clean, smashing its opponent's fireball while covering Kakashi's figure and sending it flying away.
"Ah, idiot!"
Shin snorted coldly and was about to celebrate his victory, but suddenly felt cold on his neck.
The burning figure turned into a log wood, and Kakashi appeared behind him at some point.
The spectators cheered and looked at Kakashi in admiration.
As the protagonist, Kakashi seemed dismissive, as if it was just a trivial matter for him.
And in such a warm atmosphere, Gai rushed to the center of the training ground.
"Kakashi~! Accept my challenge and burn your youth!"
The appearance of the famous ninja academy loser and his passionate lines attracted everyone's attention.
