Chapter 24: Lunch with Yugao 

"What is this?!"

Sensing the blue-white electrical currents emanating from Yu, Yuhi Shinku, who was standing by the training ground watching the fight, suddenly fixed his gaze.

"What is this?"

At the same time, Hyuga Setsuna, who had just performed the Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palm, felt a sudden surge of violent electricity emanating from Yu's entire body, freezing in place.

Sizzle!

With a burst of violent electrical noise, Hyuga Setsuna, who had rushed into Yu's arms, was assaulted by the intense electricity in the air.

The genius of the Hyuga clan could only feel a tingling numbness throughout his body. Then, in the blink of an eye, he lost control of his own body, collapsing weakly in front of Yu.

"Darn it... What is this?!"

"Could it be... a Lightning Release ninjutsu?!"

Just when victory seemed within reach, Hyuga Setsuna was defeated, his body paralyzed and powerless, kneeling in front of Yu.

Hyuga Setsuna's face was filled with unwillingness, his gaze firmly fixed on Yu.

"Ah..."

"It's something like an unfinished Lightning Release ninjutsu."

As the violent electrical currents dissipated from his body, Yu looked at the unconscious Hyuga Setsuna before him and calmly spoke.

Chidori, right?

No, this could only be considered a prototype of Chidori.

Chidori was a form transformation derived from the Raikiri, releasing the Chidori from the entire body, combining attack and defense in an A-rank Lightning Release ninjutsu.

But Yu had only recently mastered the Chidori. In a short period of time, he could only develop it to a semi-finished stage.

If it were the completed Chidori...

The Hyuga Setsuna before Yu would have already lost consciousness, and it wouldn't be as simple as just body paralysis.

"Alright! That's enough!"

At this moment, Yuhi Shinku, who had been observing from the side, suddenly spoke up.

"Your practical exercise, Yu, has already passed!"

"You can come out now, and the rest of you can continue!"

Even the genius of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Setsuna, had been defeated so easily. Yuhi Shinku naturally realized that Yu's strength was in a completely different league from the other students of his year.

Continuing to keep him in the training ground wouldn't serve any purpose and would disrupt the balance of the other ninja academy students' practical exercises.

"What an awe-inspiring talent..."

Watching the white-haired youth calmly walk down from the training ground, Yuhi Shinku couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

As someone whose strength was almost at the level of a Jōnin, he understood very well the difficulty of releasing Lightning-chakra nature transformations from the entire body.

However, Yu, a five-year-old boy who had recently entered the ninja school, had achieved this to such a degree.

Under Yuhi Shinku's seemingly calm and composed exterior, his heart was already churning with shockwaves.

...

"I've already mastered the basic ninjutsu and theory of the ninja academy..."

Sitting on the playground after leaving the training ground, Yu mumbled to himself as he watched his fellow ninja academy students continue their practical exercises.

"It looks like in a little while, I'll be able to apply for early graduation."

With Yu's current level of strength and without revealing the abilities of his Thread-Thread Fruit, he could easily defeat all the other ninja academy students with just the ninjutsu and taijutsu of the Naruto world.

So, continuing to stay here would serve no purpose. Becoming an independent ninja as soon as possible was Yu's original plan.

"That was an amazing battle just now..."

"Yu, you're still the same, truly a genius ninja."

At this moment, a cold but graceful voice from behind brought Yu back to his senses.

Turning around, Yu's calm expression froze instantly.

"Yugao-senpai?!"

Yes, standing on the playground behind Yu was Uzuki Yugao, whom he had met once before.

She was wearing a white sleeveless ninja skirt, and the straps were simply tied together, revealing a section of her creamy white skin.

The appearance of this year's ninja academy beauty immediately attracted the attention of all the male students in the third class.

"Isn't that senior Uzuki?"

"She's so beautiful!!"

"Darn it! Did that guy, Yakushi Yu, have to steal even the favor of the school's beauty?!"

Seeing Uzuki Yugao walking directly towards Yu, a group of male students from the third class were filled with jealousy.

"Why are you here?"

Ignoring the envious and jealous glances from the surrounding students, Uzuki Yugao, who had already walked up to him, asked Yu.

"Uh... Why not?"

"You see, this little girl is quite nice... I like her!"

"Quickly capture her! I want her, young man!"

Without warning, the seductive and devilish voice suddenly rang out.

"Conquer your sister! Stop scaring me by popping out like that!"

The sudden appearance of the demon almost made Yu spasm all over his body.

After hearing the demon's words, Yu couldn't help but complain inwardly, "Aren't you a female?"

"I am female, no doubt about it..."

Hearing Yu's inner complaint, the demon's seductive voice suddenly carried a hint of allure and cunning. "But who says that females can't like other girls?"

"Besides, this type of girl... is my favorite dish!"

This... This is even allowed??

Just as Yu's normal sense of morality and decency was about to be completely shattered by the demon within him...

"I didn't have class today."

"So, I made a bento with my own hands and came here to eat with you, Yu-kun..."

Uzuki Yugao, with her long, flowing purple hair, had already arrived in front of Yu.

She gently lifted the delicately packed three-tiered bento box in her hand, and a faint smile appeared on her face, as delicate and enchanting as a lotus flower.

"Yu-kun, I hope you don't mind?"

Mind...?

Only a lunatic would mind!!

"Of course, I don't mind."

"Besides, I'm hungry too. It's really convenient that you're here, Senpai."

Seeing Uzuki Yugao sitting beside him, Yu couldn't help but feel a surge of appetite, whether it was because of the delicious food or the beautiful woman.

"Darn it! That woman!"

"Why did senior Uzuki target Yu?"

"Is being good-looking really that impressive? It's so unfair!"

While Yu and Uzuki Yugao were sitting together enjoying their meal on the playground, the group of female students on the training ground had already exploded with jealousy. 

The appearance of the school's beauty had left these little fangirls feeling an unprecedented sense of crisis.
