The Results of Training

"Hateful!"

Yemo's actions were the greatest mockery. The anger in the Kirigakure Jonin erupted like a volcano, and several blood vessels appeared in his wide eyes, filled with murderous intent.

Yemo merely smiled dismissively, his figure flashing as he charged forward. Yemo's speed was extremely fast, and seeing this, two Chunin leaped down, trying to stop Yemo.

Faced with the attack of two Chunin, Yemo neither dodged nor stopped, nor did he launch an attack. It was as if the two Chunin in front of him did not exist, and he did not Chunin them seriously at all.

As the two sides drew closer, Kakashi suddenly appeared from behind Yemo, bypassing Yemo and stopping the two Chunin.

"Your opponent is me, don't get the wrong person!" Kakashi's tone was cold and devoid of any emotion. In his eyes, these two Chunin were already dead. He might have some difficulty dealing with Jonin, but Chunin were no longer worth mentioning in his eyes.

Kakashi quickly rushed to the two Chunin. Although they were both Chunin, their fighting strength was on a completely different level, and Kakashi's speed far surpassed theirs.

The two Chunin only saw Kakashi's figure flash by before he closed in on them. Before they could even be surprised, Kakashi leaped up, his legs spinning like a whirlwind.

"Leaf Great Whirlwind!"

With a whooshing whirlwind, Kakashi's right leg swept away one of the Chunin like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. The Chunin out a miserable cry and flew backward, crashing into his companion beside him. The two of them flew away at the same time.

Several months have passed since the Uzumaki Clan incident, and during these months, Kakashi has been familiarizing himself with and mastering the changes in his body.

After more than half a year of training, Kakashi had fully adapted to the changes in his body, and his combat power had increased like a rocket. Given time, he was confident that he could defeat Jonin. If it weren't for the current state of war, Kakashi might have asked Yemo to hand over that Jonin to him, as he wanted to test whether his current strength was truly enough to defeat Jonin.

Although Kakashi wasn't sure if he was strong enough to defeat Jonin, his opponents were two Chunin. In his eyes, this was nothing more than a massacre; ordinary Chunin were no different from Genin.

At the same time, before Yemo could rush up the thick tree trunk, the Kirigakure Jonin down first, descending from the sky and raising his leg like a giant axe to chop down at Yemo.

Seeing the attack from above, Yemo shifted his feet slightly and nimbly turned around, dodging the attack from the Jonin Kirigakure.

Thud...

With a deafening roar, it must be said that Kirigakure's strength was formidable. His foot slammed into the ground, causing the ground to tremble, dust to billow, and gravel to fly everywhere. If this kick had landed, even Yemo would have been badly hurt.

Steadying his footing, Yemo raised his leg and kicked straight out, piercing through the smoke and aiming Jonin the head of Kirigakure Jonin. The Kirigakure Jonin quickly, raising his hands to block in front of him.

The two collided, unleashing a torrent of power. The Kirigakure Jonin felt as if he had been kicked not by a foot, but by a speeding train, an attack he could hardly withstand.

"How is this possible?" the Kirigakure Jonin exclaimed in disbelief.

With a scream, the Jonin Kirigakure was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Retracting his leg, Yemo immediately strode forward, his hands rapidly Hand Seals. As the saying goes, villains die from talking too much, but Yemo didn't consider himself a villain.

Yemo disliked engaging in excessive banter during battle. A battle was a battle; once the decision was made to kill the opponent, a swift and decisive strike was necessary, leaving no room for respite. As the saying goes, even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. Why waste time on idle chatter? It's just asking for trouble.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

A low shout rang out, Yemo opened his mouth and spewed out a huge ball of flame. The flame, shaped like a fireball, exuded terrifying power and rushed into the smoke, intending to completely Jonin the Kirigakure inside.

"Water Release. Water Formation Wall!"

The moment the fireball plunged into the smoke, a low shout came from within the smoke. The smoke was torn apart by a pair of invisible hands, and streams of water appeared out of thin air, forming a wall that blocked the flames.

The collision of fire and water was very slight, without any explosion. The change was imperceptible; a large amount of water was evaporated into steam by the flames. Rolling white steam spread in all directions like ocean waves. In the blink of an eye, everyone was enveloped in white steam, and they could not see their own hands in front of their faces.

"It's this kind of scene again," Yemo helplessly, feeling exhausted. "It seems that next time we deal with the Kirigakure Ninja, it's best not to use Fire Style."

Yemo had this idea not only because of the elemental advantage of water over fire, but more importantly because the collision of Water Release and Fire Style would create a dense fog-like scene every time. The dense fog-like water vapor completely blocked his vision, making it impossible for him to even find the person in the scene.

Call out...

A dagger pierced through the white steam, striking Yemo with lightning speed. This scene happened without warning, and Yemo had no time to react. He only saw a dagger coming at him, and the next second, the sharp dagger pierced Yemo's head, with blood gushing out from the other side.

"Haha, so-called number one genius in the Shinobi World? What a load of rubbish! He's only this good. I took care of him so easily. He's far inferior to our Kirigakure genius, Hozuki Mangetsu." The Kirigakure Jonin as he emerged from the thick fog, feeling incredibly proud of himself for having pierced Yemo's head with his own hands.

The laughter had barely begun when Yemo's voice rang out from Jonin Kirigakure Jonin: "You're getting ahead of yourself. I'm not dead yet!"

Upon hearing Yemo's voice, the Jonin expression vanished instantly, replaced by disbelief. Hadn't he killed him? How could this guy still be talking?

Upon closer inspection, the Kirigakure realized that the person he had pierced in the head had turned into a clay sculpture. Jonin immediately understood that he had not pierced the real Yemo, but rather an Earth Clone Yemo.

The Kirigakure Jonin immediately drew his dagger, turned around without even looking closely, and raised his hand to stab in front of him. But just as he was about to stab, a bright light broke through the white steam and flashed before his eyes.

The next second, before the Kirigakure Jonin even realized what was happening, a sharp pain shot through his chest, his strength gradually disappeared, and his limbs slowly became weak.

The Kirigakure Jonin looked down and saw a sharp sword, emitting a faint blue light and covered in Lightning Release Chakra, piercing his chest.

"How could this be? I actually lost to this Konoha brat."

Looking at the sword in his chest, the Kirigakure Jonin incredulous. He was a seasoned Jonin, how could he have been defeated so quickly? One second he was proudly killing Konoha brat, and the next second he was the one who died.

A surge of heat rose in his throat, and blood gushed from the Kirigakure's mouth as if it were Jonin. His hands gripped the sword piercing his chest tightly, and he took two steps back. Finally, unable to hold on any longer, with intense resentment in his eyes, the Kirigakure Jonin to the ground with a thud.

In his dying daze, he seemed to understand that it wasn't that he was too weak, but that this kid from Konoha was too strong. His title as the number one genius in the Shinobi World was well-deserved, not just an empty name. From beginning to end, he was nothing but a foolish idiot.

Yemo is no longer the genin Genin Jonin alongside Kumogakure. After more than a year of growth, the results are obvious. Yemo's improvement has been meteoric. The Special Jōnin almost killed him before can now be easily killed by Yemo. Special Jōnin no longer poses any threat to him.
