Naruto Law of the Devil

Chapter 89: Sarutobi Asuma

What Yu didn't expect was that Asuma from his youth had become so rebellious, smoking and defying his father, who was the Third Hokage.

He looked completely like a delinquent youth, a stark contrast to the calm and mature image of the original.

"Since you're so busy..."

"Then don't waste your time lecturing me! Hokage-sama!"

As Yu had just left the Hokage's office, angry clashes between Asuma and Lord Third echoed from inside, and the delinquent youth slammed the door as he stormed out.

"Sigh..."

Following that, only the sound of Lord Third's helpless sigh resonated from the office.

"Get lost, brat!"

Exiting the Hokage's office, the infuriated Asuma turned a corner and ran into Yu, who had been waiting outside.

The news of Yakushi Yu becoming Lord Third Hokage's Student on the first day of his graduation had naturally reached Asuma's ears.

Recalling his father, who neglected his family due to work, and looking at the Student his father had just taken in, Asuma couldn't help but harbor some resentment and prejudice.

"Bang!"

A crisp collision sounded as Asuma, without any hesitation, attempted to push Yu aside forcefully.

To Asuma's surprise, when his body collided with Yu's shoulder, he felt as if he had hit a solid wall. Then, with a slight push of Yu's shoulder and a gentle trip of Asuma's right foot by Yu's left, Asuma, who was a head taller than Yu, lost his balance and was sent flying to the floor.

"As the tree desires tranquility, the wind does not cease; as the child wishes to be nurtured, the parent does not wait."

"Have you seen the white hair on Sarutobi-sensei's head? As the son of the man who supports the entire Konoha, is this how you repay your father?"

After effortlessly knocking down Asuma in front of him, Yu looked down at the delinquent youth at his feet and spoke in a calm tone.

"Damn..."
Asuma, who was knocked down on the ground, became even more uncontrollably angry after hearing Yu's words. His dark complexion turned red, and he stood up from the ground, yelling at Yu.

"What qualifications do brats like you have to lecture me?!"

"Whirlwind Fist!"

Upon standing up, Asuma quickly gathered a blue wind attribute Chakra in his hand, launching a fierce punch towards Yu.

Being one of the future 'Guardian Ninjas of the Fire Country,' a Jonin *level strength in the original work, the power behind Asuma's punch was not to be underestimated, despite his rebellious and unruly nature.

"Crack!"

However, to Asuma's astonishment, Yu remained motionless in front of him, catching the fist charged with wind attribute Chakra with just one hand!

"Mystical Palm Jutsu!"

Not only that, Asuma saw a large green Chakra blossoming from Yu's hand that caught his fist, releasing tremendous force that caused intense pain in his arm.

In addition to its exceptional healing effects, the Mystical Palm Jutsu, known as 'Battle Medical Ninjutsu,' also possesses tremendous destructive power against the human body.

"What qualifications? Just because I'm stronger than you!"

The palm releasing the Mystical Palm Jutsu continued to exert increasing force. Observing Asuma's changing expression due to pain, Yu calmly spoke.

"A brat who talks big!"

Hearing Yu's words, the young Asuma, faced with the reality that the strength of the seemingly seven or eight-year-old boy before him surpassed his own, found it hard to accept. Clenching his teeth, Asuma swiftly drew a Chakra knife in the shape of brass knuckles from his other hand.

"Wolf Fang Punishing Drill!"

Wind-style Chakra infused into the Chakra knife, Asuma's left hand Chakra knife emitted a sharp blue light, fiercely slashing towards Yu.

This special Chakra knife could merge with Chakra, and when Asuma infused it with Wind-style Chakra, its sharpness could easily penetrate the human body, making it a destructive force capable of cutting through solid marble.

"A combination of Ninjutsu and Taijutsu in combat..."

Faced with the sharp Chakra knife rapidly coming from Asuma, Yu's expression remained completely calm.

Though both were combat styles combining Ninjutsu and Taijutsu, they varied in complexity. Compared to the NinTaijutsu secret techniques of the Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning, Asuma's moves indeed failed to catch Yu's discerning eye.

"You still have a long way to go!"

With Yu's flat words echoing, Asuma's eyes widened suddenly. In front of him, Yu's body slightly sank, effortlessly evading the swing of his Chakra knife.

Following this, Asuma felt a sudden pain in his wrist. The Chakra knife in his left hand had been kicked away by Yu and forcefully embedded into the wall of the adjacent corridor!

Oh no!

Confronted with Yu's Taijutsu, clearly operating on a level beyond his own, Asuma was immediately alarmed. Just as he attempted to step back, he found his body as unyielding as if it were encased in cement.

Meanwhile, Yu's body was already swiftly spinning in mid-air, and the vigorously lashing whip-like kicks emitted a bone-chilling sonic boom.
"Bang!"

Following that, Asuma felt a sharp pain in his cheek. His body uncontrollably shot out like a cannonball, crashing forcefully into the corridor wall, slowly sliding down to the floor like a painting.

"You can disrespect your father, but you have no right to defy the Hokage of Konoha."

"Go back home, train properly, and come face Sarutobi-sensei again when you've figured things out."

Having dealt with Asuma in just two moves, Yu didn't even spare a glance at the rebellious youth now slumping against the wall and slipping to the floor. After casually dropping these words, he opened the door and walked straight into the Hokage's office.

Most people go through a rebellious phase, and even Yu from his previous life was no exception. However, that couldn't justify Asuma's defiance against Lord Third when he contributed nothing to the village or his family. So, Yu decided to try and wake him up.

"Damn brat..."

"I'll make sure to train twice as hard and come back to settle the score for today!"
Seeing Yu blatantly ignore him and leave, the seemingly indifferent composure deeply stung something within young Asuma's heart.

Asuma struggled to support himself against the wall, casting a resentful glance towards the Hokage's office at the end of the corridor. His figure stumbled and disappeared into the hallway.

...

"Sorry, Yu, for letting you witness that..."

"That unimprovable brat really infuriates me!"

Inside the Hokage's office, watching Yu standing before him, Lord Third's face showed a wry smile.

In the ninja world, he was a renowned ninja, and in Konoha, he was the Hokage holding up the entire village. As a mentor, he was the Ninjutsu Professor who educated legendary Sannin. However, when it came to his family, he was a helpless father who couldn't even discipline his own son.

"If that kid had half your determination, I'd probably be waking up from happy dreams everyday"

Looking at Yu in front of him and thinking about his own wayward son, Lord Third couldn't help but sigh deeply.
