Naruto: First Love

Chapter 86 Kakashi-level genius
Seeing Huo Wu's confused look, Shikamaru knew that she had no idea who she was talking about.

"She was attacked last night, and this kunai was the weapon used by her attacker." Kakashi explained for Huo Wu, "You said you had seen this kind of kunai, where was it?"

"Were you attacked?" Sasuke was originally just listening to them quietly, but when he heard that Huo Wu was attacked, he couldn't help but ask.

He came last night and only knew that Huo Wu was injured and came to the hospital, but because of Kakashi's murderous aura, he thought too much and left early.

She didn't know how Huo Wu was injured, nor did she know that she was attacked.

Huo Wu was relieved to see a hint of worry on Sasuke's cold face. Although Sasuke was cold, she was very happy that he was a little worried about her.

"Kakashi was there at that time, otherwise, what you would see when you came here today would probably be a corpse." Huo Wu laughed at herself.

Kakashi remained noncommittal about this, Sasuke didn't believe it, but Shikamaru thought it was probably true.

Shikamaru doesn't know Huo Wu very well. It should be said that even Asuma is not very clear about Huo Wu's strength, so he was not too affected by the fact that Huo Wu was injured.

I’m afraid even Huo Wu herself isn’t very clear about how strong she is.

Shikamaru only made a rough guess about Huo Wu's attack. Seeing that Huo Wu didn't know, he reminded her, "Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to find someone with a strong murderous aura?"

After Shikamaru's reminder, Huo Wu remembered that Shikamaru did mention someone, saying that he was a former member of the Anbu, but he was injured and was no longer a ninja.

"You mean... that mountain city..."

"Toshi Yamashiro."

"Yes, you said this kunai is his?" Huo Wu looked at the kunai, somewhat unconvinced.

When Kakashi heard the name Yamashiro Shun, his eyes narrowed and his breath suddenly fluctuated, which made everyone feel surprised.

Kakashi took a deep breath before saying to Shikamaru, "He's not dead yet?"

Shikamaru's mouth twitched. Did he really want Yamashiro Shun to die? Did Kakashi have any grudge against Yamashiro Shun?
Fortunately, my mother just left. If she heard Kakashi say this about Yamashiro Shun, she would be very angry.

With a dry cough, Shikamaru pointed at the bandage on the handle of the kunai: "My mother and he are old acquaintances, and I often go to his house. He occasionally talks about his habits. He usually takes off the bandage on the kunai he uses, and then replaces it with his usual bandage. That kind of bandage is only available in the Blade Mandian Hall."

Huo Wu knew about the Blade Hall.

That is the largest store in Konoha that sells daily necessities for ninjas. It is said to have been in existence for decades and is a time-honored brand in Konoha.

The items inside are quite complete, but the prices are a bit higher than other blade tool stores, so Huo Wu seldom goes there.

However, it doesn't mean that no one can afford the things in it because they are expensive. As long as you are an outstanding ninja and have a lot of money, you can naturally buy it.

What Shikamaru said is actually of no use at all. There are so many people buying bandages at Sharpshooting Manden-do, so how can they be sure that it was Yamashiro Shun?
"So what?" Without waiting for Huo Wu to ask, Sasuke said coldly.

This time it was Kakashi who explained: "The Blade Shop was opened by a retired old man a long time ago. The old man hired an orphan from another village. After the old man died, the orphan inherited the blade shop, but she did not open the shop, but became an outstanding ninja."

Kakashi's words made Huo Wu keenly feel that this might be a very long story.

All three of them sat on the bed, listening to Kakashi narrate the story.

"That ninja graduated from the Ninja School at the age of ten, was promoted to Chunin at the age of twelve, and to Jonin at the age of fifteen, becoming a sensei leading the Jounin."

"What!" Huo Wu exclaimed. Promoted to Chunin at the age of twelve? Another Kakashi-level genius?
Kakashi graduated at the age of 5, became a Chunin at the age of 6, and a Jonin at the age of 12. He was the most outstanding genius ninja in Konoha at that time.

But it was also because, at that time, it was the period of the Third Ninja World War, and after Kakashi graduated, he fought for the Third Ninja World War, which was considered special.

Originally, this couldn't be compared with Kakashi, but the last sentence: promoted to a jonin at the age of fifteen and became a team leader? This is really hard to believe.

After Kakashi became a jonin at the age of 12, something happened to Uchiha Obito. At that time, although he was strong and smart, he was still a problem student.

Later, his teammate Rin died and his teacher Minato Namikaze became the Fourth Hokage. However, he still did not have the qualifications to be a senior ninja teacher. Instead, in order to eliminate the darkness in his heart, Minato Namikaze allowed him to enter the Anbu.

When the Nine-Tails incident broke out when Kakashi was 14 years old, he completely sank into darkness and became the cold-blooded Kakashi of the Anbu. It was not until a few years ago when Huo Wu came to Konoha that the Third Hokage let him come out of the Anbu and serve as a Jonin instructor.

Perhaps Kakashi stayed in the Anbu for many years because of the relationship between Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin, which filled his entire life with darkness. Even though he became a Genin instructor, he only truly succeeded in Team 7 with Sasuke and Naruto.

The jonin who have become genin instructors in recent years are almost all around the same age as Kakashi.

All of these jonin who became Genin instructors had gone through years of training before they were qualified to lead students, but that ninja actually became a Genin instructor just after becoming a jonin?

Shikamaru knew what she was thinking and explained, "She is a ninja from the same class as the Fourth Hokage. It is said that she has the same Jonin teacher as the Fourth Hokage."

"Jiraiya?" Huo Wu asked reflexively.

This is not surprising. Almost everyone knows that Naruto is Jiraiya's disciple, and his father, the Fourth Hokage, is also Jiraiya's disciple. He is also the "Son of Prophecy" rumored to be in the Third Ninja World War, but later the Son of Prophecy became Naruto.

Shikamaru was a little surprised: "You know a lot."

Shikamaru was indeed surprised. He knew all this because his mother had a good relationship with Yamashiro Shun, and he heard it from his mother.

Huo Wu, an orphan from outside, actually knew that the teacher of the Fourth Hokage was Jiraiya? After all, so much time has passed, and few people in their class know Jiraiya.

Of course, the main reason was that Huo Wu was the last in the school, which made him wonder, how could a last in the school know Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas? He never liked to study, and always practiced shuriken in the woods of the village, and he always practiced badly.

Although Huo Wu passed the graduation exam early, she failed the Genin exam several times. Shikamaru happened to be a high-IQ talent, so he naturally thought that the graduation exam was very easy, so he didn't take Huo Wu's passing the graduation exam seriously. As for his impression of Huo Wu, it was naturally the impression he had when he was in school.
