Naruto: Zanka No Tachi

A month later, at the Uchiha clan training grounds.

Yakumo Kurama was training under Yusuke's guidance.

Despite her exceptional spiritual talent, her physical abilities were lacking. Even with the God Tree pendant's Yang Release enhancement, her stamina was inferior to average ninjas.

Yusuke didn't demand much physically; she just needed to be able to move normally.

While not agile, her powerful spiritual power gave her superior perception and reflexes. With the right techniques, she could handle situations without relying on taijutsu.

After a while, Yakumo was panting and resting.

Yusuke saw she was at her limit. Unless she had Guy or Lee's unique physique, further training would only harm her.

"Good, you've improved significantly. We'll stop here. Today, I'll teach you Genjutsu. This genjutsu traps targets in your illusion."

"This jutsu will be very useful for you, since you can partially make illusions real!"

Yakumo curiously asked, "Is this the genjutsu you used against Ido?"

Yusuke nodded, and Yakumo's face lit up.

She had longed to be a ninja but lost hope, giving rise to Ido. Now, she cherished this opportunity, training as hard as Guy and Lee.

Guy and Lee trained their bodies relentlessly; Yakumo, after her physical training, focused on genjutsu.

After Yusuke explained and demonstrated the hand seals for "Genjutsu Gen'ei no Jutsu," Yakumo quickly learned it and used it on Yusuke.

Yusuke considered Yakumo's "Genjutsu Gen'ei no Jutsu" more powerful than Kurenai's.

Talent determines potential! Success is 99% effort and 1% talent. Without that 1%, no amount of effort reaches the peak, Yusuke thought.

Patting Yakumo's head, Yusuke praised, "My excellent disciple!"

Yakumo felt a sense of accomplishment, her eyes shining with confidence.

"Teacher, I can use that strange technique you taught me."

Yusuke's eyes lit up.

He hadn't taught her ninjutsu but Kidō from Bleach!

Ryūjin Jakka allowed him to learn some Kidō techniques.

Being a fire-type Zanpakutō, it only knew fire-based Kidō, like "Hadō #31. Shakkahō," "Hadō #33. Sōkatsui," and "Hadō #54. Haien."

Kidō, while powerful, required incantations.

Even Yusuke, with his current spiritual pressure, could only use "Hadō #33. Sōkatsui" without an incantation, and its power was inferior to Ryūjin Jakka's Shikai flames. It was useless in battle for him.

Yusuke taught Yakumo Kidō not only for powerful attacks but also to strengthen her spiritual power!

In the Soul Society, students trained their spiritual pressure by practicing Kidō.

Yakumo's innate spiritual power allowed her to use lower-level Kidō, providing the foundation for spiritual training, which is why Yusuke chose her.

Yakumo, thinking of the Kidō incantations, blushed.

Taking a deep breath, she focused, regaining composure.

Reciting the incantation, she pointed at a tree and released a red flame.

"Hadō #31. Shakkahō!"

The tree exploded, its fragments instantly reduced to ash.

Yusuke nodded, satisfied with the power of Yakumo's "Shakkahō."

After instructing Yakumo to practice Kidō daily, Yusuke gave her exciting news.

"I've entered you in the Chūnin Exams. I've also selected two excellent genin from the clan as your teammates."

"My expectation is simple: first place!"

Yakumo nodded seriously.

"Teacher, I won't disappoint you!"

After training Yakumo, Yusuke received news that Takigakure's team was arriving and immediately used the teleportation seal to reach the border.

Teams were arriving in Konoha, making it lively.

Fortunately, the ninja world wasn't vast; Konoha could accommodate the participants. Otherwise, Yusuke and Minato wouldn't have made this decision.

"Fū, slow down! We don't have your chakra reserves,"

Near the border between the Land of Water and the Land of Fire, a team of four ninjas—three men and one woman—were heading towards the Land of Fire. This was Takigakure's team.

Fū, the Seven-Tails jinchuriki, was in the lead, far ahead of the other three jōnin.

For Takigakure, this was a vacation for their young lady.

"You're so weak! You're jōnin!"

Fū grumbled but slowed down.

Suddenly, a man in a black cloak with red clouds appeared before them.
