Guy Sensei harbors deep animosity and a strong desire for battle against Raiga Kurosuki, who wields one of the legendary Seven Ninja Swords.
Their contentious history means that the atmosphere is tense, and it's clear that a confrontation is imminent.
However, Li Zhenwu was equally eager for a fight and is determined not to let Guy Sensei engage in a one-on-one with Raiga Kurosuki.
Thus, Li Zhenwu decided to provoke his opponent verbally, making it clear to Guy Sensei that he intends to be the first to attack.
"Are you too impatient to rush in and get yourself killed, you little brat?" Raiga Kurosuki sneers, dismissing Li Zhenwu as a mere child, particularly given his youthful appearance that makes him look like a little kid.
Yet, just as that thought crosses his mind, Li Zhenwu's speed suddenly increased dramatically! In the blink of an eye, he traverses the short distance of several dozen meters, leaving only an afterimage as he stands right before Raiga Kurosuki!
"This kid... so fast!" Raiga Kurosuki was secretly shocked. Li Zhenwu's speed surpassed his imagination, especially since they were surrounded by thick fog, which seems to benefit Li Zhenwu.
Despite his surprise, Raiga Kurosuki didn't halt his movements. Realizing that the short distance wasn't enough for him to unleash his ninjutsu, he crossed his twin blades in defense, ready to confront Li Zhenwu head-on.
"Konoha Reppu (Leaf Gale)!" Due to uncertainties regarding the sharpness of Raiga Kurosuki's blades, Li Zhenwu opted for caution, landing a powerful sidekick rather than a direct confrontation.
"Clang!" The strike produces a loud metallic sound, surprising Raiga Kurosuki, "What is that kid's body made of?"
Without lingering on his astonishment, Li Zhenwu landed in front of him, smirking as he slightly shakes his limbs, shedding several pieces of black weighted gear from his arms and legs.
"I'm prepared to give it my all against you!" As soon as Li Zhenwu finished speaking, he vanished without a trace.
Raiga Kurosuki's expression shifted; he hadn't anticipated that Li Zhenwu was initially weighted down.
Now that he has removed the weights, his speed was faster than ever, almost beyond Raiga Kurosuki's ability to track.
Taking a deep breath, Raiga Kurosuki became serious, relieved that through the Hidden Mist Technique he can slightly sense his enemy's position and remained calm.
"Lightning Style: Lightning Strike Armor!" he cries out, raising his hand with the Lightning Blade, summoning a multitude of lightning bolts that envelop him in a protective layer of armor.
"I absolutely despise opponents like this." Li Zhenwu's hidden figure momentarily hesitated, narrowing his eyes.
Though he's not weak, charging towards an adversary enveloped in lightning armor without strategies could be unwise.
"Do you think that will truly defend against my attack?" Li Zhenwu didn't hesitate for long; he produced two shuriken and, with two swift throws, launched them while coating them in his chakra.
After throwing the shuriken, he himself charged at Raiga Kurosuki, moving at a speed that almost matched that of his shuriken!
"Clang! Clang!" Raiga Kurosuki swings the Lightning Blade and knocks them to the ground, but before he can react further, Li Zhenwu reaches him!
"Heh, you're overestimating yourself, little brat!" Raiga Kurosuki laughed coldly. Since obtaining the Kiba Swords, he had never feared close combat; the Lightning Armor serves as natural protection, making enemy attacks equivalent to self-inflicted harm.
However, Li Zhenwu's next assault surprised him greatly!
A faint golden chakra enveloped Li Zhenwu's leg as he landed a heavy kick on Raiga Kurosuki!
His leg penetrated the lightning armor, and while the golden chakra provided some resistance, it couldn't completely shield him from the paralysis of the lightning. Li Zhenwu felt brief stings and numbness in his foot.
Yet, these sensations only serve to ignite his fighting spirit, making his blood boil as he became increasingly combative!
"Taijutsu Style: Konoha Senpū!"
"Taijutsu Style: Konoha Reppū!"
Li Zhenwu's chakra flowed freely from his fists and feet with each attack, mitigating some pressure from the lightning armor.
He relentlessly assaulted Raiga Kurosuki!
Under the torrential barrage of Li Zhenwu's attacks, Raiga Kurosuki became momentarily dazed despite his protective armor. The Lightning Armor flickered and shifted as if it might dissipate at any moment!
"This is bad!" Kurosuki's face changed drastically! Gritting his teeth, he swept his blades hard to momentarily push Li Zhenwu back, then immediately cast another technique!
"Lightning Style: Lightning Dragon Tornado!"
He raised the Lightning Blade high, summoning tremendous lightning and spinning it rapidly, creating a violent whirlwind!
