Undoubtedly, he was the strongest boss in the early stages of Naruto's journey to becoming a Hokage...
Truly a disgusting and dangerous individual...
Feeling the sinister and greedy gaze of Orochimaru in front of him, Yu felt goosebumps all over his body.

"Hmm... this child is not bad either..."
Seeing Yu's lack of response, Orochimaru reluctantly withdrew his gaze, turned his head to look at Kabuto sitting on the ground beside him, and there was a dangerous glint in his eyes. "Is your name Kabuto? I think you have the talent of a ninja..."

"Do you want to become a ninja? I think you can definitely become an outstanding ninja."
As one of the legendary three ninjas, the genius Orochimaru could naturally see Kabuto's talent – at the age of only six, he could use Medical Ninjutsu so skillfully. Although it couldn't compare to Yu's monstrous talent, it surpassed ordinary ninjas by a wide margin.

"I... I don't have thoughts in that direction."

Staring at Orochimaru, who exuded danger from head to toe, Kabuto looked up at him with some apprehension. "My Medical Ninjutsu was taught to me by the headmistress. I want to earn some money for the orphanage and continue to stay here to help the headmistress."

"The headmistress has been so good to me; she even gave me her glasses... I haven't been able to give her a gift yet."

At this point, Kabuto cast an envious glance at Yu beside him.

If it were Yu... he would definitely be able to give the headmistress an even better gift, right?

"Is that so? That's a pity..."

Upon hearing Kabuto's response, Orochimaru expressed some regret, but he glanced at Yu next to him. A mischievous smile quickly appeared on his charming face.

"But I believe one's talent cannot be hidden."

"Just like Yu, isn't that right? Hehehe..."

Is this the aura of a Kage?

If I were to face Orochimaru right now, could I survive?

Watching Orochimaru's departing figure with a deep, ominous laughter, Yu unconsciously clenched his fists, feeling an increasingly strong desire to become stronger.

Kage Level—more precisely, in the Shinobi world, there is no title known as Kage. Those whose abilities surpass Jonin, possess unique skills, and are renowned in the ninja world are generally referred to as S-rank Ninjas.

They can be ninjas within a ninja village or wander freely among nations while remaining loyal to their original village—such as Jiraiya and Tsunade in the original work. They can also be highly valued S-rank rogue ninjas by various countries—like the ten members of the "Akatsuki" organization, who are gathered from different ninja villages and whose abilities rival the Kage of the five major villages. As a result, each ninja village takes precautions against them.

Because S-rank Ninjas usually possess special abilities such as Kekkei Genkai or secret techniques, bloodline elimination, or being Jinchuriki, they are feared by others, and few dare to engage them in direct combat.

Therefore, the Kage of the five major ninja villages are undoubtedly an S-rank Ninja. However, not all S-rank Ninjas can become the Kage of the five major ninja villages.

Of course, from Yu's perspective as a transmigrator, there are even higher levels beyond Kage.

Examples include those who surpass Kage-level like Six Paths of Pain, the previous generation's five Kage, the pinnacle figures of the ninja world like Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara, and even those who reach Six Paths level like Kaguya and Six Paths Sage, Otsutsuki Momoshiki, and so on.

But that's a discussion for another time.

What lies before Yu now is the seemingly insurmountable gap from Jonin to Kage, a hurdle that an ordinary ninja may never overcome in their lifetime.

The path of cultivation is arduous and laden with responsibilities.

...

In the bustling streets of Konoha, the vibrant lights have just begun to shine. After healing all the injured ninjas, Yu casually had a meal with Yakushi Nono and others. Then, dragging his somewhat weary body, he headed towards his new residence in Konoha.

"Yu!!"

At this moment, accompanied by a surprised voice, a graceful figure suddenly appeared before Yu.

"Yugao?!"

With striking long purple hair and fair, graceful skin, who else could it be but Uzuki Yugao? Over a year had passed, and Uzuki Yugao had grown even more elegant and charming.

"Long time no see..."

"You didn't come to my graduation exam a few days ago."

Looking at Yu, who had become even more handsome than the previous year, Uzuki Yugao's tone unintentionally carried a hint of resentment.

"Cough, well... I couldn't help it."

Unable to withstand the charm of a beautiful woman, feeling Uzuki Yugao's subtle gaze, Yu awkwardly coughed twice. "I've been busy with medical class matters and also Sarutobi-sensei's training recently."

"You're just lying!"

"I'm not really blaming you..."

However, before Yu could finish explaining, Uzuki Yugao interrupted him and playfully stuck out her tongue at him.

"Speaking of which... I haven't congratulated you on your promotion to Special Jonin!"

Walking affectionately by Yu's side, Uzuki Yugao's bright eyes sparkled like stars. "A seven-year-old Special Jonin... and you've even become a disciple of Lord Third Hokage. Yu, you're truly a genius beyond comparison!"

"But I'm far behind... I just graduated from the Ninja Academy."

As she said this, Uzuki Yugao's eyes dimmed slightly. Yu, with his monstrous talent, became a Special Jonin in Konoha at the age of six and even became the disciple of Lord Third Hokage, the junior of the legendary three ninjas. The significant changes in identity and status created an unreal sense of distance for this young girl who was just beginning to understand love.

The ethereal appearance, perfect talent, and special status—all of it made the boy she admired seem so unreal...

"Ding!"

A crisp sound, accompanied by a slight pain on her forehead, instantly brought Uzuki Yugao's scattered thoughts back.

"What are you daydreaming about!"

Seemingly aware of the girl's thoughts, Yu, both amused and exasperated, couldn't help but flick her forehead with his finger.

"Graduating from the Ninja Academy at ten, showing that women are just as capable as men. Our Yugao is also an outstanding ninja!"

That was indeed the truth. In the original work, becoming a Special Jonin in ANBU at such a young age, Uzuki Yugao's ninja aptitude was among the top in Konoha's many ninjas.

"Ouch..."

Rubbing her slightly reddened forehead, Uzuki Yugao's face returned to a smile. Clearly, Yu's affectionate address dispelled all the worries in the young girl's heart.

"But speaking of which..."

"Yu, you're Lord Third's disciple, and Anko has become Orochimaru's disciple."

The two of them strolled through the bustling crowd, watching occasionally as a few playful children ran by and enjoying the shops surrounded by a sea of people.

As they chatted, Uzuki Yugao seemed to suddenly think of something, and a playful smile couldn't help but appear on her pretty face.

"Thinking about it this way... considering the seniority, shouldn't Anko address you as 'Sensei' or 'Senior'?"

"Hahaha... knowing Anko's personality, she would definitely go crazy with anger!"
