Li Zhenwu moved quickly; his natural strength, combined with some training, had allowed him to reach a speed that normally required a ninja to use chakra to achieve. As he approached the black-clad ninja, his fists were already tightly clenched.
At this moment, Li Zhenwu's blood was boiling, and the Saiyan's instinct for battle had awakened.
Bang!
Li Zhenwu swung his fist, colliding directly with the black-clad ninja, only to feel a surge of immense power and a tingling electric sensation from above.
"Lightning Style?" Li Zhenwu paused slightly, deducing from the enemy's chakra that it was of the lightning attribute. "You're a ninja from the Hidden Cloud Village?"
He recalled the recent visit from the emissaries of the Land of Lightning, who were a group of Hidden Cloud Ninjas. And the specialty of the Hidden Cloud Ninjas was indeed Lightning Style!
"The little brat knows quite a bit," Yunshui, the Hidden Cloud Ninja, said coldly! He was somewhat surprised by Li Zhenwu's powerful strength, which left his arms feeling a bit numb.
On one hand, he was astonished that Li Zhenwu could expose his identity so directly.
"Since you've figured it out, I can't let you go now," the Hidden Cloud Ninja's gaze turned icy. Initially, he had intended to conceal his identity, but now that Li Zhenwu had exposed him, he decided firmly that he couldn't let him escape!
"Lightning Style: Lightning Rod!"
With a low shout from Yunshui, his fist transformed into a palm, and within his palm, a bolt of electricity crackled.
"Damn, he really is a Hidden Cloud Ninja." At this moment, Li Zhenwu recalled a storyline from the original work, where a group of Hidden Cloud Ninjas attempted to kidnap Hinata Hyuga during a mission to the Land of Lightning, leading to Neji Hyuga's tragic fate.
Upon further reflection, it seemed to align with the timeline.
Suddenly, everything clicked in Li Zhenwu's mind.
At that moment, the Hidden Cloud Ninja, Yunshui, rushed forward with blinding speed.
The palm, charged with electricity, came crashing toward Li Zhenwu.
"Without chakra, without energy, I can only rely on my physical strength to win!" Li Zhenwu dared not take this ninja technique head-on; he pushed off the ground forcefully, narrowly dodging the attack.
Lightning Style itself enhanced taijutsu; the lightning attribute chakra could stimulate the body, increasing speed.
Li Zhenwu was only three years old, but his speed was comparable to that of an average novice ninja.
However, if he were up against a novice ninja who could use Lightning Style, the situation would be different.
"Ha! The little brat doesn't even have chakra. Relying solely on his body to get this far is impressive in itself. Your body must be quite valuable,"
Yunshui noted, realizing Li Zhenwu's true nature.
He laughed easily, thinking capturing the unarmed Li Zhenwu wouldn't be too difficult.
However, at that moment, Li Zhenwu suddenly stood tall and silent.
"Huh? What's this kid up to?" Yunshui wondered.
Suddenly, Li Zhenwu rolled up his sleeves and pant legs, revealing a black object...
"Weighted training gear?" Yunshui was taken aback.
He hadn't expected someone so young to be weighed down by such gear.
Boom!
Li Zhenwu casually tossed the weights to the ground and smiled as he felt his body become lighter.
"Now, the real fight begins!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure began to flicker rapidly, and moments later, three Li Zhenwus appeared around Yunshui!
Afterimage Technique! Second Style!*
Originally, weighed down by the training gear, Li Zhenwu could only maintain one afterimage clone.
But after removing the weights, he was able to manifest two afterimage clones!
"Shadow Clone Technique?"
The Hidden Cloud Ninja Yunshui was shocked.
Just moments ago, he noticed that Li Zhenwu had no chakra, yet now it seemed he was using a technique that required chakra?
After executing his Afterimage Technique, Li Zhenwu wasted no time and charged like a cannonball toward Yunshui.
Both afterimages mirrored his movements as they rushed toward Yunshui.
The clone technique was a common technique in the ninja world! Likewise, there were various countermeasures against it!
For example, members of the Byakugan or Sharingan clans had few difficulties dealing with clone techniques.
Most other ninjas, however, could only rely on their extensive experience to discern what was real and what was a clone!
As Yunshui observed the three Li Zhenwus, he tried to use his experience to identify which was the real one. But moments later, he was still at a loss!
At that moment, the three Li Zhenwus had already closed in from three different directions, yet he remained oblivious!
"Random punches!" Li Zhenwu suddenly shouted, announcing his technique.
Ninjas often shouted the names of their techniques during battle, not merely for show, but to focus their minds.
Although Li Zhenwu had no specific technique to call out, he pretended to shout just to disrupt his enemy's concentration!
Fists rained down like a storm! Chaotic punches erupted!
In that instant, as all three Li Zhenwus threw punches, two of them dissipated into thin air, leaving only the last Li Zhenwu's chaotic punches to strike the unsuspecting Hidden Cloud Ninja!
