First Elementalization

"Yeyu, are you truly qualified to be a Chunin?"

Sasuke asked Yeyu in a cold voice.

Everyone fell silent.

Kakashi did not step in to stop them.

He stood to the side, acting as if he hadn't heard a thing.

Naruto, meanwhile, felt a wave of panic in his heart.

Damn it, Sasuke, this guy is the one who knocked Mizuki out cold with a single punch! Do you even know what you're doing?

Naruto quietly took a few steps back, making sure he wouldn't be caught in the crossfire if Yeyu decided to strike at Sasuke.

Sasuke showed no fear, his gaze locked onto Yeyu.

Yeyu chuckled, looking at Sasuke, and said indifferently, "You don't approve?"

Sasuke clenched his fists. "If you can't even defeat me, by what right do you get to be promoted directly to Chunin?"

"Have you forgotten how pathetic you looked back in the Ninja Academy classroom?"

Sasuke frowned. "That was just your sorcery. If you've got the guts, use real ninjutsu."

Yeyu looked at Sasuke and muttered to himself, "Ninjutsu? I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."

However, Yeyu's only known ninjutsu were the Three Body Technique and the Five-Fold Rashomon, neither of which were offensive techniques.

"Anyone can talk big," Sasuke said with a solemn expression.

He didn't actually have any grudge against Yeyu; he only said this to goad Yeyu into a fight.

He wanted to know exactly why Yeyu was qualified to be promoted directly to Chunin.

He wanted to know where Yeyu was stronger than him.

Yeyu looked at Kakashi. "Kakashi-sensei, aren't you going to intervene?"

Kakashi felt a headache coming on. "This is a matter between the two of you; how am I supposed to intervene?"

Yeyu nodded. "Fair enough. Although I have no obligation to prove anything to you, I do feel like stretching my limbs a bit."

Seeing Yeyu's demeanor, Kakashi couldn't help but offer a reminder. "You are classmates, after all. Go easy on him."

Kakashi was well aware of Yeyu's strength.

Naruto wanted to try and intervene, but the image of that night kept playing in his mind.

His legs wouldn't move.

After a while, Sasuke and Yeyu stood facing each other.

Kakashi stood between them.

"Yeyu, go easy," he cautioned, still uneasy.

Yeyu nodded.

Sasuke assumed an offensive stance.

Yeyu, however, remained standing there calmly.

After waiting for a while and seeing that Yeyu wouldn't make the first move, Sasuke frowned.

"Since you won't strike first, then I will."

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!" Sasuke opened with a Great Fireball.

Kakashi's eyes narrowed slightly. This kid, he actually still has chakra to spare.

He already unleashed one Great Fireball just a moment ago.

As expected of the Uchiha Clan; his chakra reserves are far greater than an average person's.

It's just that, even when it comes to chakra, that guy is a monster.

Kakashi looked at Yeyu.

Recalling how Yeyu had casually summoned the Five-Fold Rashomon, he shook his head.

Although Sasuke's chakra was vast, compared to Yeyu, it was the difference between an ant and an elephant.

After finishing his hand seals, Sasuke released a fireball five or six meters in diameter.

Kakashi was somewhat surprised. It's even larger than the previous one. Sasuke, just how desperate are you to defeat Yeyu?

This Great Fireball is going to drain almost all of your chakra, isn't it?

BOOM!

The five-to-six-meter-wide fireball surged toward Yeyu.

Yeyu, however, made no move to dodge.

Sasuke, panting and drenched in sweat, stared at Yeyu. Is this guy planning to do absolutely nothing?

Isn't he being a bit too arrogant?

Kakashi frowned slightly, "What is going on with Yeyu? Is he not even going to use taijutsu?"

Sakura and Naruto were sweating for Yeyu at this moment.

Even though they were not in the same class, they did not want to see Yeyu get hurt by the Great Fireball Technique.

"Yeyu, hurry and dodge!" Sakura shouted.

Naruto clenched his fists, "Yeyu, don't be so arrogant, that's a fireball!"

Kakashi wondered if he should intervene.

However, seeing the calmness in Yeyu's eyes, he suppressed the urge to save him.

At this moment, even Sasuke felt a pang of regret, Damn it, what is that guy trying to do?

He actually didn't put my Great Fireball Technique in his eyes; if this continues, he's going to die, right?

Sasuke was getting anxious.

After all, he was the one who had unleashed the Great Fireball.

The fireball quickly engulfed Yeyu.

Once the fireball had completely shrouded Yeyu, Sasuke fell to his knees, his face blank, "It's over, I... I killed someone?!"

Naruto and Sakura felt their scalps tingle; they both assumed Yeyu had been killed by the Great Fireball Technique.

Only Kakashi activated his Sharingan, and upon seeing Yeyu inside the fireball, he breathed a sigh of relief, This guy, he really knows how to scare people.

But why does the fire have no effect on him?

Through Kakashi's Sharingan, Yeyu appeared to have merged with the flames.

This was too bizarre.

If he couldn't see that Yeyu's massive chakra remained completely unchanged, he would have truly believed Yeyu was dead.

Yeyu, shrouded in flames, had already elementalized.

This was his first time elementalizing.

"This feeling is truly wonderful."

"I can actually elementalize into fire as well."

"Could it be because the Magma-Magma Fruit is the superior fruit to the Flame-Flame Fruit?"

Yeyu did not elementalize into magma, but rather into fire.

He discovered that he could use the abilities of the Flame-Flame Fruit.

In the Pirate World, the Magma-Magma Fruit is the superior fruit to the Flame-Flame Fruit.

Magma can consume flames.

Even after coming to this world, that remained the case.

Yeyu could even use the abilities of the inferior Flame-Flame Fruit.

Yeyu smiled and instantly drew all the flames surrounding him back into his body.

The surrounding fire seemed to be sucked into a black hole, instantly merging into Yeyu's body.

In just a split second.

Yeyu's figure appeared before everyone.

Sasuke looked at Yeyu, stunned, "You, how are you unharmed?"

Kakashi was incredibly shocked, thinking, His clothes weren't even burned, and there isn't even a trace of a burn mark.

Is this also one of Yeyu's ninjutsu?

Sasuke and the others did not understand, but Kakashi knew how terrifying Yeyu had been just now.

He had actually transformed into fire.

No wonder he doesn't learn elemental ninjutsu; it turns out he is already proficient in Fire Release ninjutsu himself.

Is that his special Fire Release ninjutsu?

Someone capable of developing such presence should be able to develop his own unique Fire Release ninjutsu, right?

Kakashi categorized Yeyu's elementalization as a special Fire Release ninjutsu that Yeyu had developed himself.

Ever since that night he saw the destruction caused by Yeyu's punch, Kakashi no longer found anything Yeyu did to be strange.

The surroundings returned to calm; apart from a scorched mark on the ground, there was no fire left at all.

Yeyu appeared before everyone, completely unscathed, without even a single trace of soot.
