A True Prodigy

He is...

Just as Kakashi was about to answer Naruto's question, the young man in black spoke up.

"Long time no see, Kakashi! I never imagined you'd become Guiding Jonin!"

The young man in black was naturally Ye Liangnai, and the handsome young man behind him was none other than Kimimaro.

"If possible, I hope I never have to see you again, you dangerous guy!"

Kakashi gripped his Kunai tightly, took another step back to get even closer to Naruto, and protected them tightly behind him.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in you! I might be a little interested if the Third Hokage came!"

Ye Liangnai waved her hand, completely ignoring Kakashi, and then looked at Gato.

But his words surprised Sakura Haruno and even Sasuke Uchiha.

Who is this guy? He's so arrogant! He barely even respects the Hokage, and he doesn't even have the right to respect Kakashi.

Who is Kakashi? He's a powerful ninja who became famous in the Shinobi World at the age of twelve. He's incredibly strong, and who would dare to underestimate him when he roams the Shinobi World!

"Who exactly is he, Kakashi-sensei?!" Sakura Haruno asked curiously.

She had seen arrogant people, but never anyone this arrogant.

"Yeah, Kakashi-sensei, this guy doesn't even respect the Hokage, he's so arrogant!"

Naruto Uzumaki also shouted, quite dissatisfied with what Ye Liangnai had just said.

Sasuke Uchiha slightly in agreement, also expressing his great curiosity about Ye Liangnai's identity.

"His name is Ye Liangnai!"

Kakashi casually uttered Ye Liangnai's name, then looked at Sakura and said, "You got a perfect score in academics, so you should know what this name represents!"

"What? It was him!"

Upon hearing Kakashi's answer, Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha both gasped in surprise, their faces filled with shock.

"Who is it? Why do you two have that expression too?!"

Only Naruto Uzumaki was still clueless about what was going on, and asked curiously.

"Yorana, a Jonin of Kirigakure, former head of the Kirigakure Anbu, known to the world as the White Light, the strongest ninja in the ninja world, and the only man whose danger level surpasses S-rank!"

"Four years ago, he single-handedly turned the Shinobi World upside down, triggering the aftermath of the Fourth Shinobi World, and overwhelmingly defeated Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and even our Konoha!"

"He shattered the old order as the victor and established the new Shinobi World order. He was the first and last man in the Shinobi World to abolish the power of the daimyo and directly control a great nation. He was the uncrowned king behind the Land of Water!!"

"Five years ago, they defeated the combined forces of the Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki twice, and forced Kumogakure to sign numerous unequal treaties, which has prevented Kumogakure from recovering to this day!!"

With a serious expression, Sakura Haruno recited the entire description of Ye Liangnai from the school textbook.

Sasuke Uchiha also spoke up, "And this guy accomplished all of this when he was only twelve or thirteen years old. His talent is so monstrous that no one in the Shinobi World can surpass him to this day! Moreover, he has experienced countless battles and is a true god of death. His mere name is enough to instill fear in people!"

"He also helped Kirigakure reorganize the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, gathered three Jinchuriki in the village, established a medical system comparable to that of Konoha, and subdued more than a dozen surrounding small countries with absolute power. The territory he actually controlled far exceeded our imagination."

"With his own strength, he transformed Kirigakure from a closed and backward village into the nominal second-best Shinobi World, but in reality, the best. His legendary life left everyone in the Shinobi World breathless!"

"It's fair to say that if he stomped his foot, the Shinobi World would tremble!"

After saying that, Sasuke Uchiha clenched his fists, his heart heavy as he thought, "There's actually someone in this world more monstrous than Itachi!! No wonder that guy used to look powerless when he talked about 'White Cold Light'!"

"If I could learn from him, wouldn't I be able to get revenge on Itachi Uchiha very soon? I definitely could!"

His eyes shone with intense hope, and a powerful desire compelled him to say, "Ye Liangnai, please take me as your apprentice!"

"That's terrifying!! Did he really do all that by himself?"

Even Naruto, who is usually oblivious, couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement after listening to Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha's introduction of Ye Liangnai.

This is simply a prodigy; how can there be such a powerful and outstanding man in the world?

Was he really only thirteen years old when he accomplished all of this?

Thinking back to when I was twelve, I had accomplished nothing, while Ye Liangnai was already taking on the Kage of a village single-handedly at the age of twelve. The difference was just too great!

Hearing Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha introduce her, Ye Liangnai turned to look at them and smiled brightly, saying, "You flatter me, you flatter me. I'm not as amazing as you say! I've only had a few exchanges with the Kage from various villages and invited the Tsuchikage and Hokage to visit Kirigakure for a while!"

Hearing his words, Kakashi couldn't help but think to himself, "What the hell? Invite me to be a guest? Everyone knows that you've captured all but the Kazekage, including the other four village kage. Even your own village's Fourth Mizukage Yagura, was your prisoner. Is this level of humility really appropriate?"

Of course, he himself was one of those invited as a guest.

"President Gato, someone has hired me to kill you. Do you want me to do it, or will you do it yourself?"

Ye Liangnai turned her head and looked at Gato, who was covered in sweat, and said with a smile.

But his words made Naruto Uzumaki and the other three gasp in shock.

To force a top-ranking tycoon in the Shinobi World to commit suicide in such a public setting? That's just too arrogant!

"It's Haramura... that guy, right? How much... how much did he offer? I... I'll offer ten times that!"

Gato was trembling and kept saying in terror, "Stop it!"

"That won't do. I'm a person who values integrity above all else. If I promise someone something, I have to keep my word!"

But to everyone's surprise, Ye Liangnai shook her head and refused outright, placing her hand on her waist, and said, "You've done so many bad things in the Land of Waves, it's time for it to end! God sent me to take you away!"

Upon hearing his words, Tazuna, who was hiding behind Sakura Haruno, couldn't help but shout "Good!" in his heart.

Then, Ye Liangnai's gaze swept over the faces of the rogue ninjas in front of Gato, and she said, "I'll give you five to count before you leave. My only target is Gato! Oh, by the way, I'll be expanding my business in the Land of Waves soon, and I don't want anyone causing trouble on my turf!"

It's just a simple sentence, but how powerful is its deterrent force? Just look at how these wandering ninjas are fleeing in panic.
