As Long As You Work Hard, You Can Too, Hmm, It Should Be Possible, Right?

If others said they envied Naruto for his self-healing ability, Kakashi could understand.

But when Yeyu said it, he felt it was nothing but sarcasm.

Yeyu sighed, "It's different. Having sufficient physical strength doesn't mean one has strong self-healing abilities; everyone hopes their body can heal quickly after being injured."

"After all, my physical strength is just relatively high, it doesn't mean I won't get hurt."

Because he inherited all the power of Akainu, Yeyu's physical strength and combat endurance were at a monstrous level.

However, he could still be injured, and he would still be left with scars after healing.

After Akainu and Aokiji fought for ten days and ten nights, their bodies were also left with a multitude of scars.

Yeyu would also suffer from these same issues.

Of course, due to his physical strength and Armament Haki, it was extremely difficult to injure him.

At least, Yeyu had yet to encounter such an expert.

It was just that Yeyu's words sounded like something that would make people envious, jealous, and hateful.

Kakashi said helplessly, "You really make people feel annoyed sometimes with the way you talk."

Those who didn't know him would think Yeyu was being too pretentious.

Hoisting Kakashi onto his shoulder, Yeyu released his Observation Haki.

He discovered Sasuke's location.

He leaped onto a bridge pier.

Sakura had really been very thoughtful regarding Sasuke.

She had placed him as far away from the battlefield as possible.

Otherwise, given the scale of the battle just now, Sasuke would have been dead even if he hadn't been killed outright.

Looking at the steel needles on his body, he looked just like a hedgehog.

"Is this why Naruto went berserk, because he saw Sasuke like this?"

Kakashi, on Yeyu's shoulder, said weakly, "That should be it."

Naruto would only go berserk while fighting alongside Sasuke; Kakashi felt that only seeing Sasuke in this state could have enraged Naruto.

It was just that Naruto's rampage this time had nearly caused a catastrophe.

If Yeyu hadn't happened to pass by, there was a high probability that Naruto would have completely lost control, and the Nine-Tails would have broken its seal.

At that point, Konoha would have lost the Nine-Tails, and his own fate, in the best-case scenario, would have been life in prison.

Yeyu reached out, and several arcs of electricity appeared on his hand.

These arcs instantly divided into countless smaller ones, coiling around the steel needles embedded in Sasuke's body.

Almost in an instant, these steel needles were pulled out by the arcs, which moved like swimming snakes.

Dozens of steel needles were extracted in a flash, and even though Sasuke was unconscious, his body trembled violently from the pain.

The corner of Kakashi's mouth twitched, "Be a little gentler, don't kill Sasuke."

Yeyu smiled.

He didn't say anything.

After letting Anko perform a simple bandage on Sasuke, Yeyu and Anko sent the group back to Tazuna's village.

After the group left, Gato, who had been hiding on a distant mountain, finally emerged, covered in cold sweat.

He was followed by dozens of his subordinates.

They had arrived just as Yeyu and Naruto were fighting.

They had originally intended to intimidate Kakashi and the others, telling them to stop protecting Tazuna and building the bridge.

But they had happened to witness the battle between Yeyu and the berserk Naruto.

That world-destroying combat power left him unable to muster even a shred of defiance.

Looking at the ground, which had been reduced to ruins and looked like shattered tofu, and the turbulent, surging sea that had yet to calm down, he swallowed hard.

"Forget it. Threatening that lord? How many lives do I have?"

The several samurai who had been so arrogant before—these were wandering samurai Gato had hired to protect himself—were also silent.

They had been arrogant even in front of Zabuza.

But at this moment, they didn't dare to say a word.

That monstrous power actually belonged to two children from Konoha.

Although they were wandering samurai, they weren't brainless.

No matter how much money Gato paid, they wouldn't dare to provoke Yeyu.

And they were even more afraid of Naruto.

He was a jinchuriki, and although he had been defeated by Yeyu, only Yeyu could have defeated him.

If they went up there, they would likely be swatted to death by the rampaging Naruto without a second thought.

Swatted away as easily as a fly.

Although Gato was arrogant, he was not brainless.

Having witnessed the battle just now, he was already preparing to relocate; he dared not stay in the Land of Waves any longer.

After Yeyu and Anko brought Kakashi and the others back to Tazuna's home, they departed.

They still had a mission to complete.

Asama Sandayu had witnessed the entire battle.

At this moment, he felt that this A-rank mission commission was worth every penny.

With Yeyu around, Kazahana Koyuki could not possibly be in any danger.

Among the ninjas of the Land of Snow, who could possibly be Yeyu's match?

Previously, he had assumed that Yeyu and Anko were a team led by Anko.

That they relied primarily on Anko.

Now he understood that Yeyu was the absolute powerhouse of this team.

That was a terrifying expert who had forcibly knocked out a rampaging jinchuriki.

He relied on pure strength, without any flashy ninjutsu whatsoever.

Yet, that simple, incredibly direct physical power had suppressed a rampaging jinchuriki capable of destroying a country.

The Tailed Beast Bomb, whose explosion radius was enough to destroy a small nation, had been blasted away by Yeyu's fist.

He had sent it flying using nothing but the most primitive physical strength.

After Yeyu and Anko left.

Inside Tazuna's home, Sakura, who was tending to Kakashi, Sasuke, and Naruto, had yet to recover from the shock.

Sitting in the room, looking at the unconscious Sasuke and Naruto, and Kakashi with his broken bones.

Sakura asked Kakashi, "Kakashi-sensei, how, how could Yeyu be so powerful?"

She could not comprehend why someone who had been so obscure at the Ninja Academy—someone she barely remembered as a classmate—could possess such terrifying power.

Did that make her own excellent performance during her time at the Ninja Academy seem ridiculous?

Sakura's intelligence was very high; she could get full marks on theoretical exams every time, and her practical skills were also strong.

In class, her grades were second only to Sasuke.

It was just that because her practical combat strength was not as good as Sasuke's, her theoretical scores were the best in the class.

Her practical ability was also second only to Sasuke.

Don't look at how Sasuke seemed to be the weakest person in Team 7 right now.

But back at the Ninja Academy, Sakura was definitely a quite outstanding student.

During the Chunin exams, the fact that she could solve questions even Sasuke couldn't without any pressure, and get them all right, was proof of that.

It was just that now, when she thought about how she had been smug about her grades at the Ninja Academy while having a titan like Yeyu right beside her, she felt ashamed.

It was as ridiculous as a student who had just mastered shuriken throwing showing off their results in front of a powerful ninja.

Kakashi remained silent for a long time.

In truth, he had only learned of Yeyu's strength after he graduated.

"Sakura, everyone is different. Yeyu might have just become powerful a little earlier than you all. As long as you work a little harder—"

Kakashi couldn't bring himself to continue.

Lying required a strong psychological constitution.

Having worked in the Anbu for many years, he didn't have the face to keep making up such things.

Watching Kakashi's silent expression, Sakura gave a bitter smile, "Kakashi-sensei, even you think what you said is ridiculous, don't you?"
