I'm in Konoha, and I started with Ashura Chakra.

Chapter 4: The Three Ultimate Simps and the Girl's Adoration

When you first encounter something new and exciting, anyone can become addicted for a while.

Ino, who used to play cat's cradle or ninja games, is not yet qualified to learn clan ninjutsu. The ninja academy now mainly teaches cultural knowledge and rarely conducts actual combat exercises.

Ino and Sakura don't even know the Three Body Technique yet.

So, being able to walk on trees for the first time, free from gravity, was incredibly attractive and fun for Ino.

Unfortunately, she has too little chakra right now.

Perhaps that's why Ino suddenly couldn't find the feeling she had just had, and started failing again.

Yagyu was not surprised by this.

The hardest part about climbing a tree with your feet isn't chakra control, but multitasking.

Once one foot successfully grips the tree trunk, attention will subconsciously shift to the other foot. When gathering chakra, it's easy to either overlook it or disrupt the balance of the first foot.

At first, this was also a problem for Yagyu.

When Ino's chakra was depleted and she was panting heavily, Yagyu suddenly said to Sakura, "Sakura, why don't you give it a try?"

"Um."

Sakura nodded vigorously; she had wanted to play for a long time.

With her index and middle fingers raised, forming a mudra, Sakura walked towards the large tree where Ino had left tiny footprints.

Then, the scene that left Ino speechless with astonishment immediately appeared.

As soon as Sakura placed one foot on the tree trunk, she lifted the other foot and stepped out, her body forming a 90-degree right angle in mid-air.

Sakura, with her hands still in the unformed hand gesture, slowly walks upwards.

One step, two steps, three, four, five, six, seven steps...

When Sakura reached a height of more than three meters off the ground, she finally made a mistake, and her petite body fell downwards.

"what……"

Sakura screamed in fright and instinctively closed her eyes.

After her body stopped falling, the expected pain did not come; instead, a familiar voice entered her ears, just like the one that had pulled her out of the darkness years ago.

"Don't be afraid, I told you I would protect you."

Opening her already misty eyes, Sakura looked at Yagyu who was holding her, completely mesmerized.

Yagyu put Sakura down and praised her, "I never expected that among the three of us, Sakura would have the best chakra control."

"Exactly... Sakura, you're usually too low-key." Ino nodded in agreement.

"No... I was just lucky just now," Sakura said shyly, lowering her head in embarrassment.

Looking at this girl who was just as shy as Hinata, Yagyu couldn't help but sigh at how terrifying it was to be obsessed with love.

Who could have imagined that this incredibly ladylike girl would awaken a violent second personality and then undergo a complete personality change?

Yagyu still has a good impression of Sakura, the female protagonist whose popularity has been surpassed and crushed by the supporting female character.

The reason why so many people hated her in her past life was because when people read comics and watched anime, they all adopted Naruto's perspective as the protagonist.

However, if we put Sasuke Uchiha in that shoes, we'll find that Sakura and Karin, just like Obito Uchiha, are the ultimate simps.

Anyone who's ever been a sycophant knows how high and mighty the one being fawned over is, and how fearless they are.

Who wouldn't want a simp like that?

Especially after Boruto came out, Sakura's wifely charm helped her regain a lot of goodwill.

The cactus series is one that Yagyu has watched countless times.

Now that the manga and anime have become reality, how could Yagyu possibly let someone else have such an ultimate simp?

Next, Sakura continued her challenge against the tree.

Unlike Ino's instability, Sakura climbed the tree to a height of five meters on her second climb.

In less than five attempts, she successfully climbed to the top of the tree, easily mastering a technique that even ninja academies don't teach.

"So beautiful!"

Sakura stood on a high place, gazing at the distant snow scene, and exclaimed in amazement.

Ino, who was already exhausted, was instantly filled with energy again upon seeing this scene, and was ready to continue her challenge against the big tree.

However, Yagyu stopped her, reminding her, "Don't rush. Wait until your chakra recovers before trying again. This technique tests not only talent but also emotional stability; it can't be mastered in just a day or two."

"At home, you can also lay a mattress on the floor and use the walls to practice."

"……All right."

Ino looked slightly unwilling, but still obediently nodded.

Judging from her appearance, she will definitely practice hard when she gets back.

After all, Ino is a very proud girl, and in Yagyu's circle, she is also Sakura's older sister.

Being suddenly surpassed by the younger sister she was protecting was something Ino couldn't accept.

This competitiveness is also what Yagyu wants to see.

He taught them skills that only genin (low-ranking ninja) would learn in their first year, and Yagyu had his own ulterior motives.

The three stayed in the woods until lunchtime before Ino and Sakura reluctantly went home.

After parting ways with the two women, Yagyu did not go home immediately, but instead prepared to buy some groceries.

Just then, white goose feathers began to fall from the sky again.

As he passed by a park, Liu Sheng suddenly heard the shouting of children.

"You white-eyed monster, can't you even apologize?"

"Kneel down and apologize to me right now!"

"..."

Originally, Yagyu didn't want to pay attention, but the words in his words made him stop in his tracks.

As if recalling something, a strange expression appeared on Liu Sheng's face: "Could it be such a coincidence?"

And sometimes, reality is just that coincidental.

As Liu Sheng followed the sound, he soon saw two boys pushing and shoving a girl.

Faced with their harassment, the girl did not resist, but lowered her head to wipe her tears and cried silently.

However, this delicate appearance did not deter the two boys; instead, they became even more aggressive, trying to force her to kneel down by pressing her shoulders.

Snapped--

Just then, two snowballs flew over and hit the boy in the face at the same time.

"It hurts so much... Who is it?"

The snowball knocked the two boys back, blurring their vision.

"Wow……"

Before they could wipe the snow off their faces, two more snowballs flew over and hit them squarely in the face.

This time, the snowball flew much faster and with more force than before, knocking them to the ground.

The two boys, their faces red from being hit, cried without any backbone.

"Get out of here! Do you want to eat a few more?"

The tears melted the snowflakes, allowing the two boys to see the guy who had ambushed them.

Upon seeing the other side throwing snowballs with both hands, they didn't even think about revenge; they quickly got up and fled in a panic.

After using his shuriken-throwing skills, which earned him a high score on the quiz, to chase away the two brats, Yagyu walked up to the stunned girl and smiled, "It really is you. Lost again?"

"Yanagi...Yagyu-kun."

Looking at the boy in front of her, Hinata's cute face, which was red from crying or from the cold, suddenly turned even redder.

The joy that welled up in my heart instantly dispelled the grievances I had just felt.

Why didn't you fight back?

Yagyu feigned curiosity and asked, "If I remember correctly, your score in physical combat was quite high."

"I...I..."

Hinata lowered her head subconsciously, and her index fingers began to twirl habitually with both hands.

Perhaps due to excessive nervousness, she didn't know how to explain it to Liu Sheng for a moment.

"Hinata-san..."

Just then, a voice reached Yagyu and Hinata's ears.

A young man wearing a green vest, a ninja headband, and with Byakugan eyes came running from a distance.

He was also carrying a bag in his hand.

Seeing this, Yagyu instantly understood.

Clearly, Hinata was being watched by those two children while she was waiting for her clansmen here.

After all, in a child's eyes, people with white eyes are just as annoying as the fox demon monsters their parents mentioned.

So, Liu Sheng said with a smile, "Don't be so kind in the future. If someone bullies you, you should fight back. Otherwise, they will get a sense of accomplishment from you and will not only continue to bully you, but they may also bully others."

"Only by beating them into submission will they stop bullying others."

"Alright, your people are here. See you at school."

After saying that, Yagyu turned and left.

Looking up at Yagyu's departing figure, Hinata suddenly recalled a scene from two years ago.

Yagyu was much shorter back then than he is now.

But even then, he dared to go out alone at night.

Whether it was Yagyu back then or Yagyu now, they are both amazing!

A feeling of admiration quietly began to grow.
