"I refuse. You are too weak to fight me."
Kakashi refused without hesitation.
"Kakashi, are you scared? I will definitely defeat you this time!"
Gai screamed desperately, but Kakashi remained impassive.
"Hey, did our Taijutsu 'genius' rack his brains last night? A useless person who can't even use Ninjutsu wants to challenge a genius?"
The playful words of Shiranui Genma, who had a senbon in his mouth, immediately caused everyone around him to burst into laughter.
"Why, if all idiots like you started defying the strong, the world would have been in chaos a long time ago."
Ebisu, who was standing next to Genma, raised his miniature sunglasses and his mocking words caused everyone to burst into laughter again.
"That's right, a battle between powerful ninjas is already a gift for a weakling like you!" Genma laughed.
At this moment, Gai was shaken by what was said, especially the mocking eyes and the dismissive atmosphere, which made his face blush and become embarrassed.
Yuri looked at the two guys with his mouth open. If he remembered correctly, these two would become Gai's teammates after graduation. In the end, they were impressed by Gai's perseverance and passion and sincerely apologized.
However, these two today are the main ones who discriminate against Gai.
(Well, initially I just wanted to fight Kakashi, but... I think I'll go a little heavy this time...)
Good
Yuri kicked the wooden stake that was next to him into the center of the training ground, the sudden sound caught everyone's attention.
When the smoke cleared and everyone regained their vision, there was a wooden stake in the field, and under that wooden stake was a boy who was cooler and more handsome than Kakashi.
"You are discriminating against your own fellow ninja, do you really think that would make you superior to them? I once heard something that resonates well with you guys. Those who break the codes and rules of the ninja world are called trash."
"But, those who don't look out for their own comrades are worse than trash. Do you really think yourselves worthy of being Konoha ninjas by looking down on one of your comrades?"
Yuri's voice spread across the field.
But when each of the students raised their angry eyes to Yuri, they saw a Sharingan pair with two tomoes looking at them full of murderous intent, they all lowered their heads, trembling, unable to suppress the horror and doubt in their hearts.
"You said that fighting between powerful ninjas is a gift for the weak, right?"
"Then I'll give you guys a chance. All those who laughed at Gai just now, you can unite against me."
Looking at Kakashi, Genma, Ebisu and the other students, Yuri laughed lightly and said:
"What, Konoha's future ninja don't even have the courage to attack me?"
The words were like a fuse. When he finished speaking, a shower of shurikens flew towards Yuri.
From Kakashi to the geniuses of all Konoha clans, various escape techniques flew fiercely towards Yuri.
At that moment, Yuri smiled, clapped his hands while launching a jutsu that would remain in their memory forever.
"Wood Style Secret Technique!"
"Birth of the world of trees!!"
GOODMM~
Right after Yuri spoke, huge trees suddenly appeared from the ground.
In just an instant, the entire training ground turned into a forest.
Giant trees extended from the ground, and the various ninjutsu that were thrown towards Yuri dissipated without a trace.
The forest that suddenly obscured everyone's vision from nowhere, and its shadow that seemed to shine into everyone's soul, caused all the Ninja academy students present to have expressions of fear written on their faces.
Whether it was Kurenai, Anko, Gai, the hostile Kakashi, Genma, or the students from various clans present, everyone seemed glazed over at this moment.
Even the chuunin teachers who were preparing for the rescue, the ANBU who were secretly paying attention to the assessment, and even the Third Hokage who used a crystal ball to spy, looked at Yuri in disbelief.
At that moment, Yuri's figure seemed to overlap Senju Hashirama in his memory.
Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly stood up in disbelief, his cloudy eyes widening at this point as he stared intently at the figure beneath the trees.
"This is really…"
"Wood Release!"
Kakashi, who was originally arrogant and indifferent, uttered these two words in a dry voice.
The kunai in Ebisu's hand fell to the ground unconsciously, and the crisp sound of collision was extremely loud under the current silence.
The scene that was originally like pressing the pause button on a video started with a crisp sound, and the uncontrollable sound of exclamations almost shook the entire Ninja academy.
"Is this the wood release?"
"The first Hokage's release of Wood?!"
"But, but your eyes are clearly a Sharingan!"
"Holy shit, what the hell is going on?"
The former genin genius of the Uchiha clan was no longer arrogant, he looked completely petrified.
"Why does his Sharingan have two tomoes? How old is he!"
"Someone who can freely control the Sharingan must be from the direct lineage of the Uchiha clan, but I have never heard of him!"
"I... I'm not a fake Uchiha, right?"
At the same time, Kurenai pinched Anko's cheek hard in disbelief.
"Anko, I'm not under a genjutsu, am I?"
"Argh, Kurenai you idiot, let me go! This hurts a lot, how could it be a Genjutsu!"
"It turns out… Yuri, who is usually gentle and calm, is quite powerful."
Kurenai ignored Anko's angry words and stared at the figure above the tree.
"Tell me... Do you still want this gift?"
"Do you think you can defeat me?"
These were not dismissive words, much less mockery, it was as if he was simply describing facts
It seems like from the beginning, they were never opponents for Yuri.
Humiliation!
Anger!
Impotence!
They all lowered their heads silently at this time and dropped their shurikens.
"Ehem!! Y-Yuri Winters wins, this month-end review ends here!"
The Chuunin teacher who came to his senses quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and shouted to end the battle. As his loud voice spread, the incident came to an end.
There was only one winner!
......
......
Orochimaru Research Laboratory
Orochimaru, who normally had a cold expression, frowned and looked at his disciple in confusion.
Perhaps because his mood fluctuated so much, Uncle Snake's face, which normally did not express emotions, showed signs of collapse.
For a moment, Orochimaru, who had barely regained his composure, spoke in a strange tone:
"Yuri, do you know what I admire about you?"
"Potential?"
"No."
"Practice a lot?"
"No."
"Character?"
"No way!"
Orochimaru looked at Yuri and said:
"What I appreciate most is: Yuri Winters is an intelligent person."
"Quick to learn, he has the logic of an adult's thinking, he knows how to hide his clumsiness and he has the madness to risk everything when the opportunity arises."
"Maybe, even if you don't know me, you still live a good life, even in time of war."
At this point, Orochimaru could no longer suppress his doubts.
"Then why did you suddenly expose your abilities?"
"The identity I created for you is perfect."
"With the extermination of most of the clan, the Senju clan dispersed and its members abandoned their surnames and merged into various parts of Konoha."
"One of your 'father' ancestors was from the Senju clan, while your 'mother' was from the Uchiha clan who was unable to activate the Sharingan and died during the war."
"But even so, that is no reason to show your full potential. According to what we agreed, you could only display the common power of Wood Release."
"You should know that neither Senju Hashirama nor Uchiha Madara could reach this level of combat power at your age."
"The ninja world won't stand having someone like you. No one wants another 'god of shinobi' who can defeat all the ninja villages."
"Yuri, answer me, aren't you afraid of being killed?"
Originally, Yuri also planned to keep a low profile.
But the problem is that [Sage Body] and Sharingan are very easy to use.
After being compatible with the above two Kekkei Genkai, Yuri's vital energy and spiritual energy were terrifyingly great under the influence of the powerful [Yang Escape] and [Yin Escape].
Chakra is the combination of the body's vital energy and spiritual energy. Others normally need to rest and replenish energy, otherwise the body and mind will not be able to withstand it.
However, Yuri feels that his life and spiritual energy are as abundant as a spring of water. Two months of practice, especially the crazy training with Dai, directly refined his chakra to an abnormal level.
Yuri, who originally planned to make some noise and beat up some arrogant kids from the ninja academy, acted on a whim and, without any control, drained all of his chakra and used the scaled-down version of the Wood Style Secret Technique: Birth of the World of Trees.
Although not as strong as the original, it still catalyzed the creation of a giant arboreal world the size of a football field, which completely scared the hell out of that group of kids.
The scene at that moment was very frightening.
It's a shame that the ninja school kids are still a little too young. After seeing his Sharingan and legendary Wood Release, they were almost overwhelmed and lost their fighting spirit.
Probably all of Konoha and even the entire ninja world is going crazy right now.
However, Yuri really has nothing to fear. There's not much time left in this world anyway. When the time comes, he can simply activate Multiverse Roulette and walk away.
"In truth, I am very afraid of death, but I can assure you, Orochimaru-sensei, that no one in the entire ninja world will be able to find me for years to come."
Yuri looked at Orochimaru without fear, his eyes were terribly calm.
"I can't explain the specific reason to you, sensei. After all, everyone has their own secrets. But at this point, please believe that your disciple is an intelligent person, and please also believe in your own vision."
Yuri and Orochimaru looked at each other for a moment, and finally Orochimaru decided to look away.
"Ask Anko to come help me record the experiments from now on. You can stay at home alone. You can leave whenever you want, Yuri."
"No problem, but before I leave, I have a powerful ninjutsu that doesn't require hand seals, I want to give it to you, sensei."
A light blue sphere appeared in Yuri's hand, he quickly explained the principles and training process.
Orochimaru was silent for a moment after hearing this. He looked at the young man in front of him with an incomprehensible expression.
"Yuri, you are truly a genius for being able to create this ninjutsu on your own. Tell me, what do you want from me?"
