Rescue and Strength Analysis

"What exactly happened? Rin, don't panic, tell me slowly." Upon hearing the news, Ye Yuexin said, shocked.

That shouldn't be right; what kind of person is Kakashi?

He is someone who could fill the ranks of the Hokage in the future.

How could he be injured like this just from a sub-base?

It must be that, like them, he encountered a very troublesome accident.

"Our attack on the sub-base went smoothly, but we ran into a patrolling jonin while retreating, which is why things turned out this way."

"Kakashi only managed to take down that jonin by trading injury for injury, but our tracks were discovered afterward, and we are currently on the run."

"I intended to go to the main base to find reinforcements, but I didn't expect to run into you here. Why are you here? What should we do now? Should I still continue to look for support?"

Perhaps because she had run into Ye Yuexin and the others, Rin Nohara had completely lost her sense of direction.

It seems Kakashi and the others are truly in a critical moment.

The dog at their feet must be Kakashi's summoning animal. Ye Yuexin remembered that Kakashi seemed to love raising dogs; he even had six at home.

"Rin, you, Might Guy, and Ebisu go to our main base immediately to seek reinforcements. I will go to meet up with Kakashi and the others."

"No."

"Absolutely not!"

No sooner had Ye Yuexin finished speaking than Ebisu and Might Guy said quickly in unison.

They were all very clear about each other's current state.

Even if they went, it wouldn't change the battle situation much. Therefore, Ebisu and Might Guy subconsciously viewed Ye Yuexin's idea as throwing his life away.

"Let me go instead. I'm the one who has recovered the best and haven't suffered any injuries. I can already use simple ninjutsu now."

Ebisu looked at Ye Yuexin and said.

"Stop messing around. Although your role is irreplaceable to anyone in the team, it isn't meant for combat. The few Earth Style techniques you know won't be able to take down a jonin."

"Yuexin, let me go instead." As soon as Ye Yuexin finished speaking, Might Guy stepped forward and said.

He continued immediately, "You are different from us. People with mediocre talent like us probably won't achieve anything great in our entire lives."

"But you are different. You are the strongest genin in our Konoha, the top genius of our generation. Even if an accident happens, I hope it's us, not you. Do you understand? Just do it for Konoha."

If someone else had said this, Ye Yuexin might have been moved.

But since these words came from the young version of the "Might Guy" who would almost change the plot and end the series early, Ye Yuexin always felt he was just showing off in an invisible way.

"Might Guy, stop arguing. In your current state, even walking over there is a struggle. Besides, why do I feel like your tone is so strange, as if I definitely won't come back if I go?"

"Can you say something positive? Don't worry, nothing will happen. Don't you trust my speed? I'm just going to guide Kakashi and the others back."

Ye Yuexin made this decision because he had confidence in himself. Or perhaps, confidence in Kakashi and the others.

They all have important roles in the future; they definitely won't fall here. With the power of the supporting character halo, perhaps after he goes over, he'll just play a minor role and walk back with Kakashi and the others.

Moreover, the distance to their base isn't far. Even if something really happened, Ye Yuexin felt that as long as the opponent didn't use Wood Style, even if it were another elite jonin, he could successfully escape back to the base.

After mastering his footwork, Ye Yuexin's inner confidence was quite inflated.

Not giving Might Guy and the others a chance to speak, Ye Yuexin continued, "Rin, don't you know medical ninjutsu? Since it's not far to the base anyway, you should head back first. You can help treat Might Guy along the way."

"I'll head over first. Once you reach the main base, just report the truth." Having said that, Ye Yuexin displayed his footwork and vanished in an instant.

On the way, Ye Yuexin didn't move at top speed, but rather at a pace that allowed him to barely recover his chakra while moving.

Because even though he had said that earlier, he knew in his heart the crisis he was heading into.

Regardless of whether a battle would occur, being prepared in advance was the best choice.

Speaking of Ye Yuexin's mastered footwork, it really was a formidable ninjutsu.

But its limitations were also not small.

However, it was still much stronger than the Hydrification Technique.

In the original story, Suigetsu's Hydrification Technique was first of all afraid of Lightning Style, because lightning can conduct through water.

Secondly, it was countered by the attribute-restraining Earth Style. Because there are many Earth Style techniques that can turn water into a swamp, not to mention special bloodline limits like Ice Style, which could restrain the Hydrification Technique to death.

But Ye Yuexin's Wind Transformation Technique didn't have so many drawbacks.

Water has a physical form, but wind does not.

Therefore, not only could he be immune to some physical attacks like Suigetsu, but he could also be immune to many ninjutsu.

However, there was one type of ninjutsu that could restrain Ye Yuexin's Wind Transformation perfectly. That was Fire Style.

If a Fire Style attack came, even if Ye Yuexin transformed into wind in time, the surrounding wind would be scorched by the flames.

It could instantly cause Ye Yuexin to be burned, or even directly evaporate into water vapor, leading to immediate death.

And there was one other major disadvantage: speed.

Of course, this was in comparison to Ye Yuexin's own standards.

Even after his footwork was mastered, he definitely had no way to compare to the Fourth Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village from the original work.

Because the speed of wind could never compare to the speed of lightning.

However, once they truly compared, Ye Yuexin did not feel any lack of confidence. After all, the advantage of wind was not its speed, but its treacherous nature and its formless, intangible quality.

Of course, this was only because of the specific person Ye Yuexin was comparing himself to.

Under normal circumstances, the speed of footwork was far faster than the Body Flicker Technique. Even some specialized Body Flicker techniques could not compare to Ye Yuexin's.

In the original story, wasn't Minato Namikaze's Body Flicker Technique incredibly impressive? Yet, when he competed in speed against the young Fourth Raikage, he still had to rely on the Flying Thunder God.

Right now, Ye Yuexin felt his strength was in an awkward position. He had originally specialized in throwing knives, but it seemed that his speed had taken the primary role instead.

It wasn't that his throwing knives were no longer formidable, but while the speed was sufficient, it still wasn't fast enough.

"Not fast enough" did not mean the trajectory of the flying knives was slow.

The knives Ye Yuexin launched could already fly while grazing the spatial barrier; the speed was absolutely sufficient.

But in Ye Yuexin's view, it was still not fast enough.

Because he still hadn't surpassed the reaction time of an elite jonin.

After all, the more powerful ninjas in this world were exceptionally keen at sensing danger.

Whenever Ye Yuexin was about to launch a knife, their experience would cause them to dodge subconsciously, and their minds would command their bodies to perform instinctive blocks.

After all, the distance from which Ye Yuexin launched his knives was never very close, and it always took a split second.

Even for an ordinary person, the speed of limb movement—such as the speed of throwing a punch or tilting one's head—was ten or even dozens of times faster than the speed of moving one's entire body.

That was why, during his battle with Taiyuan Zeng, he never achieved that feeling of "never missing a target."

Therefore, his next focus would be on the speed and penetrating power of his throwing knives.

The speed needed to reach a point where even the mind of a Kage-level powerhouse could not keep up.

Of course, that was a long-term goal; for now, the primary objective was to make it so that an elite jonin's mind could not keep up.

Then there was the penetrating power. Although Ye Yuexin's current throwing knives were filled with his own condensed wind-natured chakra, they still could not escape the limitations of nature transformation.

Because any elite jonin could generally master at least one type of nature-transformed chakra.

In this way, as long as they used chakra of the same level of compression and nature transformation, they could easily defend against Ye Yuexin's throwing knives.

Moreover, the chakra reserves of an elite jonin were far beyond what Ye Yuexin could currently compare to. They could simply overwhelm Ye Yuexin just by comparing the density of their nature-transformed chakra.

However, there was one piece of good news: after this battle, Ye Yuexin discovered that his chakra reserves had seen a significant increase.

It seemed he had successfully promoted to a chunin.

He would have to wait until he had fully recovered to properly experience these changes.
