Chương 89: Yang Cheng re-enters the 3rd generation of the Naruto storyline

Chapter 89 Yang Cheng re-enters the Third Generation Hokage's storyline Since Zabuza had consumed a lot of stamina and chakra during his previous battle with Yoshinori, and Kakashi was already stronger than Zabuza, the outcome of this Jonin duel was not much of a surprise.

After Zabuza used several Water Release ninjutsu in succession, which were then perfectly copied and imitated by Kakashi using his Sharingan, the two sides went from ninjutsu battle to taijutsu battle.

Just as Kakashi was about to use Lightning Blade to pierce Zabuza's heart, Haku, who was fighting Anko, suddenly appeared in front of Zabuza and used his body to block the Lightning Blade for him.

Just as Haku was being pierced by Raikiri, Gato, a merchant from the Land of Waves, also jumped out and offered himself up for death.

Kado is here mainly to seek revenge, because he discovered that the Rogue Clan, which he has been supporting for a long time, has been completely wiped out.

As a smuggling merchant, how could he suppress the unruly people of the Land of Waves without those wandering swordsmen and villains acting as his henchmen?

So after learning that his henchmen had been wiped out, Gato spent a lot of money hiring a number of desperate criminals, and even some ninjas from small ninja villages, intending to wipe out Yang Cheng and his group as well.

When Gato arrived with his henchmen, he saw Haku with his heart pierced and Zabuza already covered in wounds.

Zabuza was a high-ranking ninja that Gato had hired at great expense, but now he couldn't even kill a few brats and Tazuna, and his stronghold was wiped out. Naturally, Gato mocked him on the spot.

Zabuza was low on health, but killing a group of ordinary ronin and some ninjas from small villages was still quite easy for him.

Thus, the mission to the Land of Waves came to an end, but the broken sword, the Executioner's Blade, was taken away by Yang Cheng as a trophy.

After all, in Yang Cheng's view, leaving the famous ninja sword of Kirigakure here in the tomb was a terrible waste.

Even if you don't like using it yourself, you could sell it to Kirigakure or something similar at a high price, and they would probably be quite happy to buy it.

Upon returning to Konoha, Anko and Kakashi, as the Jonin instructors, also went to the Hokage Building to report on the mission.

The Third Hokage clearly hadn't expected that the two C-rank missions, Team 6 and Team 7, would encounter so many twists and turns this time.

"Yes, no one expected that in a small place like the Land of Waves, they would encounter Zabuza Momochi, a rogue ninja from Kirigakure."

If it weren't for Red Bean and their Class 6, we might have really been in danger.

Upon hearing Kakashi's words, Anko wiped her nose and looked at the Third Hokage with a smug expression.

So you were right when you said I wasn't suitable to be a Jonin instructor, are you now dumbfounded?

Their Red Bean Class really showed their skills this time; otherwise, Kakashi-senpai and the others would have been defeated as well.

Seeing Anko's provocative gaze, the Third Hokage was somewhat troubled. Given Anko's personality, after this mission, she would probably be even less satisfied with having her class only carry out C-rank missions.

Moreover, the Third Hokage heard Kakashi's report very clearly.

The person who performed the best in this mission in the Land of Waves, and could even be described as turning the tide, was not Kakashi or Anko, but Yang Cheng, who was almost forgotten by the Third Hokage.

Based on Kakashi's description of the battle, the Third Hokage judged that Yang Cheng had already reached the level of a Chunin, or even an elite Chunin.

The Third Hokage has always been paying attention to and learning about the new generation of Konoha.

He had always believed that among Naruto's generation, the most outstanding in terms of strength and talent was Neji Hyuga from the Hyuga clan's branch family.

There is also Uchiha Sasuke, the last surviving member of the Uchiha clan.

After all, both of them came from powerful clans in Konoha and had awakened their respective clans' powerful bloodlines.

His grades at the Ninja Academy were consistently among the best.

As for Yang Cheng, Yamanaka Inoichi did mention his remarkable talent to the Third Hokage before, but although the Third Hokage paid some attention to it at the time, he quickly forgot about it.

The Third Hokage would not deny that geniuses can emerge from among ordinary ninjas.

But the chances of that happening are extremely low, so low that they can only be described as extremely rare.

Some commoner ninjas may show amazing talent when they are young, but as they grow up, the gap between them and clan ninjas will widen, and they will eventually become just ordinary people.

Everyone says that Minato Namikaze is a genius among ordinary ninjas, but if we really examine it carefully, can Minato be considered an ordinary ninja?

His teacher, Jiraiya, was a true disciple of the Hokage, and his wife was a figure comparable to a princess of the Uzumaki clan.

To put it bluntly, Minato enjoyed far more resources than ordinary civilian ninjas.

"Red Bean, as Yang Cheng's mentor Jonin, tell me honestly, what level has that kid reached now?"

If it were any other Anko, she would naturally boast about her disciple with pride when faced with the Third Hokage's question.

But when she thought of the three rules she had made with Yang Cheng, and the surprised expressions on other people's faces when Yang Cheng became famous in the future, Hongdou finally held back.

And with a calm expression, he said, "Just as Kakashi-senpai just said."

That kid is quite talented, almost comparable to me when I was a child. He learns the ninjutsu I teach him very quickly each time.

Hokage-sama, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now. I've made plans to go eat dango with my students.

They performed very well on this mission, so I'm planning to give them a good thrashing.

Hearing Anko's words, the Third Hokage felt embarrassed to keep her any longer and could only wave her away.

However, Yang Cheng's performance in this mission caught the attention of the Third Hokage.

Previously, Yamanaka Inoichi's words could be interpreted as Yamanaka having ulterior motives towards Yosei, wanting to help Yosei secure better resources, since Yosei was his adopted son.

However, Kakashi's explanation is different now. At only eleven or twelve years old, he was able to fight against Zabuza, a rogue ninja from Kirigakure. This is clearly not an ordinary genius, and he is definitely worth focusing on developing.

Even the Third Hokage had just considered whether to find Yang Cheng a new teacher, such as having Yamanaka Inoichi teach him himself, or having him transfer to another class.

After all, in the Third Hokage's view, Anko was really not suitable to be a teacher. He was worried that Yang Cheng, this rough gem, would be wasted by Anko.

Yang Cheng: (√) Let Teacher Hongdou do whatever she wants to me, my driving skills are very good, even big vehicles are no problem!

However, after hearing what Anko had just said, the Third Hokage changed his mind.

At least for now, the students of Class 6 get along very well with Anko, and it is important to build bonds and strengthen the Will of Fire.

Moreover, although Orochimaru has betrayed the village, Anko is still his grand-disciple, and Yangcheng, as his disciple, is also a member of their Hokage lineage.

It was for this reason that the Third Hokage decided to wait and see. If Anko really couldn't be taught properly, then it wouldn't be too late for him to step in and correct her.
