Uzuki Yugao

"What?!"

The blue-white currents of electricity radiating from Yu caught his attention.

Kurenai Yuhi's Father, who had been watching from beside the Training Ground, narrowed his eyes.

"What is that?"

At the same time, Hyuga Setsuna, who had just performed Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Palms,

felt the violent current suddenly surge from Yu's entire body and froze.

Sizzle!!

A burst of violent crackling electricity rang out.

Hyuga Setsuna had charged straight into Yu's arms, and the powerful current in the air surged through his entire body.

The Hyuga Clan's genius boy felt a sharp, numbing pain all over.

In the blink of an eye, he lost control of his body and dropped helplessly to his knees in front of Yu.

"Damn it... What?!"

"Could it be... Lightning Release Ninjutsu?!"

He had been on the verge of winning, only to end up on his knees in front of Yu, his body numb and powerless.

Hyuga Setsuna's face was filled with frustration as he glared at Yu.

"Ah..."

"You could say it's an unfinished Lightning Release technique."

The violent current radiating from his body gradually faded. Looking down at Hyuga Setsuna, who had fallen to his knees, Yu spoke calmly.

Chidori Current?

No, this could only be considered a half-finished Chidori Current.

Chidori Current was a variation developed from Chidori. It was an A-rank Lightning Release technique that released Chidori from the entire body, combining offense and defense.

But Yu had only learned Chidori recently.

In such a short time, he could only develop Chidori Current to a half-finished state.

If it had been a complete Chidori Current,

Hyuga Setsuna would have been unconscious by now, rather than merely suffering from a numb body.

"All right! That's enough!"

Just then, Kurenai Yuhi's Father, who had been watching nearby, spoke up.

"Yu, you've passed the practical exam!"

"Come out. Everyone else, continue!"

Even the Hyuga Clan's genius, Hyuga Setsuna, had been defeated with such ease.

Kurenai Yuhi's Father could naturally tell that Yu's abilities were on an entirely different level from those of his classmates.

There was no point in letting him remain on the Training Ground. It would only disrupt the balance of the other students' practical exams.

"What a frightening talent..."

Watching the white-haired boy walk off the Training Ground with an impassive expression, Kurenai Yuhi's Father couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

With strength approaching that of an elite jonin, he knew just how difficult it was to release a technique that changed the nature of Lightning Release Chakra from the entire body.

And yet Yu, a five-year-old boy and a student who had only recently entered the Ninja Academy, had managed it with ease.

Beneath Kurenai Yuhi's Father's calm, composed exterior, a storm was already raging within him.

"I've more or less mastered the Ninja Academy's basic techniques and theory..."

After leaving the Training Ground, Yu sat on the field nearby.

Watching his classmates continue their practical exams, he murmured softly to himself.

"Looks like I can apply for early graduation before long."

With Yu's current strength,

even without revealing the abilities of the String-String Fruit,

his ninjutsu and taijutsu from the Naruto World alone were already enough to utterly crush every opponent at the Ninja Academy.

So there was no point in staying here any longer.

Becoming an independent ninja as soon as possible had been Yu's plan from the beginning.

"That was an impressive fight..."

"Yu-kun, you're just as incredible as ever. No wonder you're a genius ninja."

A cool yet gentle voice behind him pulled Yu from his thoughts.

He turned around, and his usually calm expression froze.

"Yugao-senpai?!"

There was no mistake. The person who had appeared on the field behind Yu was Uzuki Yugao, whom he had met once before.

She wore a white, sleeveless ninja dress, its shoulder straps simply tied together, exposing a stretch of skin as smooth and pale as jade.

The arrival of this year's Ninja Academy beauty instantly drew the attention of every boy in Class Three nearby.

"Th-that's Uzuki-senpai from the upper grades, isn't it?!"

"She's so beautiful!!"

"Damn it! Even the school beauty's favor has been stolen by that guy Yakushi Yu?!"

Seeing Uzuki Yugao walk straight toward Yu, who was sitting on the field nearby,

a group of his classmates immediately burst into jealous cries.

"What brings you here?"

Ignoring the envious and jealous looks of the kids around him,

Yu couldn't help being dazzled as Uzuki Yugao came to a stop in front of him.

If he hadn't crossed over into this world,

who could have imagined that the masked Anbu kunoichi from Naruto would have such cool, stunning features and such a graceful figure in real life?

"This girl's a catch... I like her!"

"Go win her over! Make her yours, boy!"

Without warning, the Demon's alluring, bewitching voice suddenly rang out.

"Win over your sister! Make your sister yours!"

"You scared the hell out of me, appearing out of nowhere!"

The Demon's sudden appearance nearly made Yu's whole body spasm.

After hearing what she said, he couldn't help complaining inwardly. Wait, aren't you a woman?

"I am a woman, that's right..."

Hearing Yu's inner complaint, the Demon's alluring voice turned sly and mischievous. "But who said women can't like women?"

"Besides, this type of girl... is exactly my favorite!"

What...

That's allowed??

Just as Yu's normal values and moral principles were about to be shattered completely by the Demon inside him,

" I didn't have class today."

"So I brought a lunch I made myself, especially to eat with you, Yu-kun..."

Uzuki Yugao, her beautiful purple hair swaying, had already come to stand in front of Yu.

She gently raised the elegant three-tiered lunch box in her hands and gave him a shy, lotus-like smile.

"Yu-kun, you don't mind, do you?"

Mind...?

Only an idiot would mind!!

"Of course I don't mind."

"I'm hungry anyway, so I'd be grateful if you shared it with me, Yugao-senpai."

Watching Uzuki Yugao sit down beside him, Yu couldn't help feeling his appetite stir. He wasn't sure whether it was because of the food or the beauty.

"Damn that woman!"

"Why would Uzuki-senpai from the upper grades be interested in Yu-sama?!"

"So what if she's pretty? That's not fair!"

While Yu and Uzuki Yugao sat together eating lunch on the field nearby,

the girls on the Training Ground had already erupted.

The arrival of the Ninja Academy's beauty had made these little fangirls feel an unprecedented sense of crisis.

As several girls ground their teeth in frustration,

the innocent boys they had unconsciously grabbed and pinched were already rolling their eyes and foaming at the mouth...
