Naruto: Releasing Chakra Limits at the Start

Chapter 136 Special Kunai

Kakashi recalled, "Back then, the Fourth Hokage taught many people the Flying Thunder God Technique, but no one could learn it."

The Third Hokage thought of Minato Namikaze and smiled, "These two are quite similar, but Yoru is more carefree than Minato."

"But their talent will be even greater."

This conclusion was drawn from observations over three generations.

What Yoru and Minato Namikaze are similar in is their background and their extremely high ninjutsu talent.

Yoru is clearly superior to Minato Namikaze because Yoru's physical condition is much better than Minato's.

Yoru's chakra reserves are also far greater than Minato Namikaze's.

Keep in mind that Yoru is only 12 years old, yet he already possesses Kage-level chakra.

Even the Third Hokage didn't have as much chakra as Yoru.

In terms of ninjutsu talent, Yoru is similar to Minato Namikaze, but in terms of physical attributes, Yoru is more similar to the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

Kakashi did not answer the Third Hokage's question.

After all, Minato Namikaze was his teacher, so he couldn't really comment on him, even though he agreed with the Third Hokage's assessment.

After learning more about Yoru from Kakashi, the Third Hokage felt reassured enough to let Yoru carry out the mission alone.

Otherwise, he had already planned to send Yamato along to secretly protect him.

Being secretly protected by the captain of the secret service during a mission is an extremely high level of treatment.

Yoruichi always treated Naruto like a prince, but it was the Third Hokage who truly treated him like a prince.

In the third generation's plan, Yoru was originally regarded as his successor, wasn't he the crown prince?

Yoru was born into a commoner family. In the third generation, the Ino-Shika-Cho family won over the support of Yoru, and even tacitly allowed Kakashi to introduce Yamato to Yoru.

It's important to know that Yamato is currently the captain of the Dark Guard, in charge of the Dark Guard.

The Anbu is the Hokage's direct subordinate unit, belonging to his personal guard.

He tolerated Kakashi introducing Yamato to Yoru, which was essentially giving Yoru a supporter, and a supporter at the level of a Dark Guard captain.

It's fair to say that the third generation is really in a bit of a rush.

In recent years, Konoha has been too weak, and no strong figures like the Fourth Hokage have emerged.

Even with this 69-year-old man, he can't last more than a few years.

Having finally produced Ye Yu, he immediately poured all his resources into her.

Ye Yu is unaware that a very powerful force is actually behind him.

Even Kakashi wasn't quite sure; he thought that only he and Kimoto Ichido were standing behind Yoru.

Even Yamato wasn't included in the calculation.

He brought Yamato to see Yoru earlier just so that Yoru could become familiar to Yamato.

That way, he can be of help if Ye Yu gets into trouble in the future.

Who would have thought that the Third Hokage had already decided to let Yoru succeed him?

The Third Hokage never told anyone this except to Ino, Shika, and Danzo.

Other families or factions in the village speculated that the Third Hokage might want to train Yoru to become Hokage, but this was just speculation; they had no concrete information.

After leaving the Hokage's office, Kakashi went to the ninja tool shop and spent a lot of money to have a specially made kunai crafted.

They arrived at Ye Yu's house.

Ye Yu was cultivating at home.

Yoru's mission didn't require her to leave immediately; Asama Santayu's mission wouldn't depart for the Land of Snow for another month.

Yoru just needs to arrive before departure.

At Ye Yu's speed, he can reach his destination in about 10 days.

Yoru, who was cultivating, opened his eyes and saw Kakashi appear in his home.

Yoru asked, "Kakashi-sensei, are there no missions today?"

"How did you end up here?"

Kakashi was sitting cross-legged in front of Yoru, holding a wooden box in his hand.

“I already know you’re going out on a mission, and you’re going alone.”

Ye Yu smiled and said, "For me, it's a good thing; it will help me hone my practical experience."

"And I pocketed all the commission from the task."

Kakashi's lips twitched slightly upon hearing Yoru's words.

"How can you be so greedy?"

Kakashi was speechless, but he thought Yoru was joking.

But what Yoru said was true; Kakashi thought Yoru didn't like money.

But in reality, although Yoru wasn't obsessed with money, he did like it quite a bit.

After teasing Yoru a few times, Kakashi placed the wooden box in front of Yoru and said, "Consider this a gift for your first solo mission."

Yoru smiled. "Kakashi-sensei, you're acting strangely today. Is there something you need me to do?"

Yoru knew that Kakashi was very stingy.

How could I possibly give myself a gift?

Kakashi looked at Yoru's questioning expression and really wanted to just leave.

What kind of image does he really have in his mind?

Kakashi was helpless.

"It really is a gift. Open it and see if you like it."

Kakashi didn't want to say anything more to Yoru.

Ye Yu looked at the wooden box in front of him with a serious expression.

He always felt that there might be some kind of prank item inside, although Kakashi probably wouldn't do that.

But who knows?

Perhaps Kakashi has this little hobby that goes unnoticed?

Yoru carefully and slowly pulled open the lid of the wooden box.

Inside the box was a beautifully crafted kunai.

Yoru was stunned, because this kunai was very beautiful, larger than ordinary kunai, and also longer.

Yoru picked up the kunai, which was several times heavier than a regular kunai.

"Hmm, it can actually store chakra?!"

Yoru was surprised.

"Kakashi-sensei, you didn't make this kunai out of chakra metal, did you?"

Kakashi nodded. "That's right, it's indeed made of chakra metal. Try it out and see if you find it easy to use."

Yoru channeled his chakra into the kunai in his hand, and Yoru's golden chakra immediately appeared on the kunai, making the blade even sharper.

This kunai looks a lot like the Flying Thunder God kunai made by the Fourth Hokage.

Sure enough, Kakashi said, "This kunai is based on the design of the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God kunai. The Fourth Hokage often used this kind of kunai to perform the Flying Thunder God Technique, so I think it should suit you quite well too."

Looking at the kunai in his hand, Ye Yu felt that after channeling chakra into it, the entire kunai became incredibly sharp, and he could also feel that the kunai's strength had increased significantly.

After playing with it for a while, Yoru put the kunai away.

He exclaimed, "Kakashi-sensei, you must have spent a fortune! Such a heavy kunai must have required a huge amount of chakra metal."

Chakra metal is extremely expensive.

It is estimated that the cost of materials and labor for making such a kunai would be at least 10 taels.

That's roughly the price of a B-level mission.

Furthermore, this requires the village not to take a cut, and Night Feather to receive the entire amount.

It's easy to imagine how expensive this kunai is.

One can only imagine how heroic Minato Namikaze must have been when he was scattering kunai on the battlefield back then.

What was scattered wasn't kunai, but glittering gold coins.

Kakashi was also heartbroken, but he felt the gift was perfect for Yoru, so he gritted his teeth and paid for it.

Kakashi asked, "How is it? Is it easy to use?"

Ye Yu laughed and said, "How could something so expensive not be good? It's just that I hardly ever use it in battle, so it's a shame to leave such a good weapon in my hands."

Yoru rarely uses ninja tools in battle, so he really felt that this kunai was wasted in his hands.
