"Combining the self-created Afterimage Technique with the Clone Technique, he has created an entirely new jutsu.

It achieves the effect of multiple clones, and among these clones, there are also phantoms hiding the real body.

"This is truly a formidable technique."

At this moment, Li Zhenwu was fighting against the Guy Sensei, while the Third Hokage was in his office, watching through a crystal ball on his desk displaying the battle between the two.

His eyes shone with excitement as he murmured to himself.

"The title of 'Konoha Monster' is truly well-deserved.

Zhenwu's talent indeed surpasses that of ordinary people, reaching a genius level that borders on the bizarre."

The Third Hokage mumbled; even in his long life, he had never seen a talent like Li Zhenwu's at such a young age.

Even the genius from the Uchiha clan who graduated last year, Uchiha Itachi, could not compare to Li Zhenwu's talent.

"The future of Konoha... I wonder if it will rest on this child's shoulders."

The Third Hokage's thoughts drifted as he whispered.

...

As they watched Li Zhenwu execute the Afterimage Technique followed by the Clone technique, resulting in six duplicates of himself, Inuzuka Hana and Shiranui Gensui were wide-eyed in shock.

Both had solid family backgrounds, yet they were unsure of the origin of this technique, and from what they could see, it looked really powerful.

"Could this be a technique that Lord Third Hokage taught to Zhenwu?" Inuzuka Hana speculated aloud; the news of Li Zhenwu being taken as a disciple by the Third Hokage had spread throughout the village, and they were naturally aware.

"It must be, such an impressive technique," Shiranui Gensui agreed.

In the face of Li Zhenwu, who had executed the Afterimage Clone Technique, Guy Sensei was taken aback but couldn't help but praise, "What a genius idea! Developing such a technique at this young age, he's even more of a genius than that Kakashi guy!"

While praising Li Zhenwu, Guy Sensei couldn't resist taking a jab at his lifelong rival, which made Li Zhenwu chuckle in response.

"I'm coming! Get ready for my attack, Guy Sensei!"

"Come on! Let our youth blaze and shine!" Guy Sensei grinned, and in the next moment, his assault descended like a storm!

"Konoha Whirlwind!"

"Konoha Great Whirlwind!"

"Konoha Hard-Strength Whirlwind!"

Guy Sensei's attacks stirred up gusts of wind around them!

The ground was kicked up, sending dust flying, and it cracked under the pressure!

His fists and feet landed on the various 'Li Zhenwu' clones, but each one of the attacked 'Li Zhenwu' dissolved like bubbles under the impact.

Inuzuka Hana and Shiranui Gensui instinctively searched for the real Li Zhenwu, but they only found two remaining figures of him while simultaneously shouting: " Taijutsu Technique! Activate! Konoha Hard-Strength Whirlwind!"

The so-called Taijutsu Technique involves maximizing the body's potential with chakra, achieving astonishing speed and attack effectiveness!

Unlike ninjutsu, Taijutsu Technique can be executed without hand signs, making it simpler. Moreover, compared to taijutsu, its destructive power is significantly stronger!

The "Konoha Hard-Strength Whirlwind" is Guy Sensei's signature move, akin to the Konoha Whirlwind but enhanced by a visible layer of chakra on the legs, further amplifying its power!

Training for Taijutsu Techniques is quite rigorous, requiring a solid foundation in taijutsu and a certain talent for chakra.

Very few within Konoha practice this, with only Guy Sensei's few techniques vaguely resonating with it.

Li Zhenwu, however, learned the Taijutsu Technique from the Third Hokage and directly learned the "Konoha Hard-Strength Whirlwind" from Guy Sensei.

Now, Li Zhenwu was merging the two techniques together!

Having activated the Taijutsu Technique to make his body more agile and speedy, he directly used "Konoha Hard-Strength Whirlwind" to enhance his attacks with overwhelming power!

"Whoosh!"

The two Li Zhenwu figures sped forward simultaneously, executing a flurry of kicks that whipped through the air with a cutting wind!

At this moment, because he used the Konoha Hard-Strength Whirlwind, Li Zhenwu's legs sparkled with a visible layer of chakra.

In contrast to Guy's blue aura, Li Zhenwu's chakra was a pale golden hue, shimmering with streaks of lightning arcing through it!

Guy Sensei's expression turned serious. Despite being amazed by the unexpectedly powerful strength displayed by Li Zhenwu, he still had a way to respond.

"Konoha Hard-Strength Whirlwind!" Guy Sensei countered with the same move, his legs enveloped in blue chakra, vanishing in an instant and leaving behind only an afterimage as they collided fiercely with Li Zhenwu's whirlwind!

"Bang!"

The two collided! One of the Li Zhenwu figures shattered at the point of impact, revealing the real Li Zhenwu, while Guy Sensei targeted none other than Li Zhenwu's true form.

An invisible shockwave erupted, radiating outward from the two!

Inuzuka Hana and Shiranui Gensui, standing several meters away, felt the force of the gust against their bodies!

"So... so strong!" Shiranui Gensui gasped, his mouth agape in shock.

Bang!

After the collision, both Li Zhenwu and Guy Sensei stumbled back.

Li Zhenwu took five steps back, while Guy Sensei stepped back three.

Both ceased their attacks, and Guy Sensei raised his right hand, giving a thumbs up: "Zhenwu, you won!"
