Chapter 323 Is Ye Yu a member of the Hand Clan?
Once again ignored, Kurama burst into laughter. "Hahaha, that kid Hashirama Senju has been defeated! Defeated by Yoru! His expression must be quite amusing."
Kurama disliked Madara Uchiha, but he also disliked the First Hokage.
Minato Namikaze was in an awkward position.
It's really embarrassing to talk about this.
The four Hokage actually lost to a junior who was only 17 years old.
Ye Yu waved his hand and said, "The four Hokage summoned by Orochimaru are actually not as strong as they were in life. It would be quite difficult for me to defeat them."
Yoru was only giving face to the four Hokage; at that time, the four Hokage did not pose any threat to him.
Even Yoru only used ninjutsu to fight them, and he didn't use much ninjutsu at all.
It would have been truly embarrassing if Yoru had used Wood Release to defeat Hashirama Senju, Flying Thunder God Technique to defeat Tobirama Senju, Five Elements Ninjutsu to defeat the Third Hokage, and Rasengan to defeat Minato Namikaze.
After all, when Yoru used the same ninjutsu, it was much stronger than theirs.
Minato Namikaze also knew that Yoru was giving them face.
Minato Namikaze was very satisfied with Yoru; he was powerful but not arrogant, a rare quality for someone Yoru's age.
"No wonder he was favored by the Third Hokage and Lady Tsunade, Yoru is indeed very good."
Kurama knew that Yoru was definitely giving Hashirama Senju face, and laughed, "You're just covering for them. Did you use Wood Release to defeat Hashirama Senju? Was he furious? Hahaha!"
At this moment, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki noticed that Kurama and Naruto seemed to have mentioned that Yoru could use Wood Release.
Minato Namikaze had no idea about this; when Yoru fought them, he didn't use Wood Release at all.
And isn't Wood Release a bloodline limit?
Could Yoru be a member of the Senju clan?
The two looked at Yoru simultaneously. "Yoru, you know Wood Release?"
Before Yoru could speak, Naruto interjected, "What's so strange about that? Yoru not only knows Wood Release, but he also knows Magnet Release. He even knows the Magnet Release from Sunagakure."
Both of them were stunned.
They hadn't expected Ye Yu to be so outrageous.
Looking at the two of them, Nine-Tails smiled and said, "You older generation are short-sighted."
Naruto laughed and said, "Nine-Tails, don't forget how badly you were beaten by Yoru's Wood Release back then."
The Nine-Tails' lips twitched slightly. "Naruto, do you still want me to help you in the future? If you do, then shut your mouth."
Although the Nine-Tails had also been taught a lesson by Yoru's Wood Release, it was still willing to mock Hashirama Senju for being suppressed by Yoru's Wood Release.
Naruto pouted. "You definitely wouldn't, would you?"
Nine-Tailed Fox snorted coldly.
Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki looked at Yoru, wanting to hear him confirm it himself.
Yoru didn't care if others knew about this. His mastery of Wood Release was already public knowledge, known to the Konoha leadership, except for Danzo.
Ye Yu nodded. "I have indeed studied it and mastered it."
Minato Namikaze was stunned. He knew that given Yoru's personality, saying this meant that Yoru was extremely proficient.
He knew very well how Yoru used his Lightning Release to suppress Hashirama Senju's Wood Release.
At this moment, he realized why Yoru didn't use Wood Release when he fought Hashirama Senju.
If Yoru had used Wood Release to defeat Hashirama Senju back then, Hashirama would probably have been so angry that he would have shut himself up.
Yoru's decision not to use Wood Release is a sign of respect for his senior, Hashirama Senju.
Kushina Uzumaki asked in confusion, "But isn't Wood Release a bloodline limit of the Senju clan? Why does Yoru know it?"
Yoru said, "Bloodline Limits can be synthesized by yourself as long as you have the corresponding chakra attribute, but of course, you need a certain method."
Naruto was speechless at Yoru's words: "A simple method has stumped so many people, especially since it's such a difficult Wood Release technique to synthesize."
Naruto knows more than the original story; he is very clear about the level of Wood Release's bloodline limit.
Orochimaru conducted so many experiments, but only Yamato fused with Hashirama Senju's cells, which is why he mastered Wood Release.
Currently, only he and Yoru have mastered Wood Release in the entire Hidden Leaf Village.
The difference is that Yoru synthesized it herself, while Yamato mastered it by fusing Hashirama Senju's cells.
Moreover, the two people's Wood Release techniques do not seem to be on the same level of bloodline limit.
Although both are Wood Release techniques, Yamato's Wood Release and Yoru's Wood Release are completely different things.
Kushina Uzumaki said, "I thought you were from the Senju clan."
Ye Yu simply smiled.
Minato Namikaze looked at Yoru with increasing satisfaction. "No wonder the Third Hokage and Lady Tsunade both wanted you to be Hokage."
Naruto said helplessly, "My dream of becoming Hokage was ruined by Yoru."
Naruto is currently unaware that Tsunade has decided to let Sasuke succeed her as Hokage.
Yoru was unwilling to take the role, so Tsunade had no choice.
However, Yoru didn't say that this was not the right time to talk to Naruto about it.
If you told Naruto that Tsunade wanted Sasuke to become the Sixth Hokage, Naruto would probably go crazy.
Not only could he not compete with Yoru, but he couldn't even compare to Sasuke.
He always thought that he and Sasuke were opponents of the same level.
According to the original storyline, Naruto is indeed an opponent of the same level as Sasuke, and may even be a level stronger than Sasuke.
However, the appearance of Yoru disrupted this pattern.
Sasuke's strength is now at the peak of the Kage level. As long as he awakens the Rinnegan, he will enter the Six Paths level. He doesn't even need the Sage of Six Paths to give him a boost; he can advance to the Six Paths level on his own, and he will be even stronger than when he advanced to the Six Paths level in the original story.
Because once Sasuke awakens the Rinnegan, he will possess both Yin and Yang Release, not just the ultimate Yin Release alone.
Once Sasuke awakens the Rinnegan, he will fight in the same way as the Sasuke in the original story who also awakened the Rinnegan.
The current Naruto is much stronger than the Naruto of this period in the original work.
However, his progress was far behind Sasuke's.
Naruto currently possesses peak Kage-level strength. If he were to fully transform into a Tailed Beast, he could even reach the Super Kage level, but within that level, he wouldn't be very strong, and might even be considered relatively weak.
Minato Namikaze could understand why Yoru didn't tell Naruto that Sasuke had been pre-selected by Tsunade to become the Sixth Hokage.
Given Naruto's personality, if he knew, he would definitely cause a lot of trouble.
Naruto can allow Yoru to surpass him, and he doesn't really care how much he surpasses him.
Because he knew very well that the difference in strength between him and Ye Yu was like heaven and earth.
But he felt frustrated when he learned that Sasuke had surpassed him, just like he had just experienced.
If he were to find out that Sasuke had been secretly chosen by Tsunade to become the Sixth Hokage, his greatest desire would be to become Hokage himself.
If even this dream is surpassed by Sasuke, he will really find it hard to accept.
Because he knew that Sasuke wasn't much stronger than him.
With enough effort, he can catch up with, and even surpass, others.
The situation is completely different from that of Yoru.
