After giving the two of them one last look, Yoruha transford into a streak of golden lightning and vanished from the spot. Yamada Ki and Hon Yatako stared at the now empty space, feeling a deep sense of bitterness. Yamada Ki sighed, "The gap is really too big. Just that speed alone shows he's completely different from us."
"He's much stronger than us." Yoruha's Body Flicker Technique made Yamada Ki fully realize the vast difference between them and Yoruha. Even the casual ninjutsu Yoruha used was already beyond their reach.
Not to ntion, if Yoruha were to actually make a move, they would likely be defeated in an instant. It's even possible that their ntor, Jonin Kimoto Tomoichi, wouldn't be a match for Yoruha. Hon Yatako looked troubled, "Will we ever have a chance to catch up to him?"
Yamada Ki fell silent. He finally just sighed, "We can only try our best. Just being able to see his back is good enough. As for catching up to him~" Yamada Ki shook his head, a bitter smile on his face. He even thought the idea of catching up to Yoruha was laughable.
He wasn't even confident about seeing Yoruha's back, or rather, Yamada Ki felt that in this lifeti, he might never even catch a glimpse of Yoruha's back. anwhile, after Yoruha left, he headed to the Hokage building.
Because the Third Hokage had given Yoruha the authority to enter the archive room at any ti yesterday, no one stopped him when he entered. The archive room was always a place where Konoha stored various records, even secrets.
In the past, Kakashi had sneaked in to look up information on Wood Release, and he was caught by the Third Hokage. However, the Third didn't punish him and even gave him the Wood Release information he was looking for. It was after reading those records that Kakashi gained so understanding of Wood Release.
Naruto had stolen the Scroll of Seals from here, though that day the Third Hokage had intentionally allowed him to take it. The archive room was a place where Konoha's secrets were stored, with particularly tight security. At that ti, Naruto had walked out with the Scroll of Seals openly. Without the Third's indication, the ninjas guarding the place would have had to commit seppuku. Over the years, Yoruha was the only one to enter here as a Chunin.
In fact, Yoruha was the only person to enter here without holding any official position in Konoha. As Yoruha entered the archive room, he saw the Third Hokage sitting inside. Yoruha wasn't surprised.
Before coming in, he had already sensed the Third Hokage's chakra here. Moreover, Yoruha knew why the Third Hokage was here. Upon seeing the Third, Yoruha approached him, "Lord Hokage, I'd like to look up so records here."
The Third Hokage smiled, "Ah, Yoruha, I didn't expect you to co so quickly. What kind of records are you looking for?" Yoruha glanced around and said, "So ninjutsu records. Preferably so on sealing techniques. I'm quite interested in sealing techniques."
The Third was a bit surprised. Because Kakashi hadn't told the Third Hokage that Yoruha had placed a seal on Naruto. The Third Hokage had originally appeared here to inquire about last night's events with Yoruha.
The Third Hokage was slightly surprised but still smiled as he led Yoruha to a bookshelf. On it were many scrolls.
The Third Hokage picked up a few scrolls and said, "These are so basic sealing techniques. Take a look and see if you can understand them. Sealing techniques are very difficult and require patience. The Fourth Hokage also spent a lot of ti learning them back in the day." He specifically ntioned the Fourth Hokage, hoping Yoruha would take him as a role model.
After all, he hoped Yoruha would beco a ninja like the Fourth Hokage. Yoruha took the scrolls and glanced at them. They were all sealing techniques that Kakashi had already taught him.
Feeling a bit awkward, Yoruha said, "Hokage-sama, to be honest, I've already learned these sealing techniques. Kakashi-sensei taught so." The Third Hokage, who was about to share more stories about Minato Namikaze with Yoruha, paused. He looked at Yoruha in surprise, "What?"
Yoruha, helpless, had to repeat, "Kakashi-sensei taught sealing techniques, and I've already mastered these." The Third Hokage looked at Yoruha and remained silent for a long ti, making Yoruha feel quite awkward standing there.
After a while, the Third Hokage realized his lapse. "You've mastered these sealing techniques?" He wanted to confirm it once more.
It's important to know that when the Fourth Hokage was Yoruha's age, he didn't have Yoruha's abilities, nor had he mastered sealing techniques. Although sealing techniques might not seem as impressive as powerful combat ninjutsu in the ninja world, their learning curve is extrely high, and their utility is imnse. The Third Hokage couldn't believe that Yoruha, at his age, had mastered sealing techniques, even if they were just basic ones, it was still astonishing.
Yoruha had no choice but to answer again, "Yes, Hokage-sama, I've mastered these sealing techniques. Kakashi-sensei taught ." The Third Hokage was silent for a long ti. It wasn't that he was wary of Yoruha, but he was so shocked he didn't know what to say.
The atmosphere beca quite awkward. Yoruha felt a bit uncomfortable. After a long while, the Third Hokage finally recovered from his shock.
With a wry smile, he said, "Remarkable, mastering sealing techniques at such a young age, even if they're just basic ones, is very rare. It seems you have a talent for learning sealing techniques, and it appears to be quite high. Do you know?
You remind of the Fourth Hokage. Do you know about the Fourth Hokage?" The Third Hokage seed to hold Minato Namikaze in high regard, frequently ntioning him in front of Yoruha. It's not hard to understand, as Minato was the successor the Third Hokage chose over his favorite disciple, Orochimaru.
The Third Hokage was very satisfied with Minato Namikaze. After all, Minato was his grand-disciple, and he was indeed outstanding. Recomnding Minato as the Fourth Hokage was sothing the Third Hokage was always proud of.
Ever since deciding to groom Yoruha to beco the Fifth Hokage, the Third Hokage hoped Yoruha could be as excellent as Minato Namikaze. That way, he could retire with peace of mind. He was already quite old, nearly 70, and in a few years, his strength would decline significantly.
Konoha desperately needed a Hokage like Minato Namikaze to support it. He never expected Yoruha's talent to be so extraordinary. Even he, known as the Professor of Ninjutsu, found sealing techniques difficult to learn.
For ordinary ninjas, they were even harder. Yet Yoruha, at just 12 years old, had learned several sealing techniques. Although they were just basic ones, it proved Yoruha had a talent for learning sealing techniques, and it was a high talent. He speculated that Yoruha must have learned the sealing techniques during the mission in the Land of Waves.
In less than two months, he had mastered them. This showed how high Yoruha's talent was. Listening to the Third Hokage constantly ntion Minato Namikaze, Yoruha found it a bit strange but still replied, "Of course I know. The Fourth Hokage was Kakashi-sensei's teacher."
"He was the hero who sealed the Nine-Tails, sacrificing himself to save the village."
