For nearly a month, Li Zhenwu hadn't seen any sign of Guy Sensei. As a result, when Li Zhenwu wanted to find someone for combat training, he had to seek out the third Hokage to arrange for a practice partner.
As a disciple of the third Hokage, Li Zhenwu took full advantage of this privilege.
During this month, Li Zhenwu was like a parched sponge, eagerly absorbing all kinds of ninja-related knowledge.
Not satisfied with what he learned at the ninja academy, he directly sought out the third Hokage to learn more.
The third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, answered all of Li Zhenwu's questions, helping him clarify many doubts.
Since experiencing chakra for the first time in just ten minutes, Li Zhenwu spent the month honing his own chakra.
However, he felt his overall chakra reserves hadn't increased significantly. Of course, this "not much" was just Li Zhenwu's personal assessment; to others, it would be regarded as an astonishing talent!
After a month of chakra training, Li Zhenwu's chakra reserves were now sufficient for him to learn and perform ninjutsus.
To graduate from the ninja academy, one must master three ninjutsu techniques known as the "Three Basic Jutsu".
These techniques are universal, regardless of chakra attributes, and are the most widely practiced jutsu in the world.
Beyond these common techniques, more powerful jutsu require special attributes. Li Zhenwu wasn't in a hurry to learn the Three Basic Jutsu; instead, he was curious about his own chakra attributes, so he sought out the third Hokage for a test.
The third Hokage handed him a piece of chakra paper with a smile. "Here, use this chakra paper to channel your chakra into it, and it will reveal your chakra attribute."
Li Zhenwu nodded and carefully held the chakra paper between his index and middle fingers. He was genuinely curious about his chakra attributes.
However, to be honest, he didn't place much importance on chakra itself, as he was still waiting to accumulate combat points to exchange for training methods related to "Ki."
Only with "Ki" could Li Zhenwu perform the various martial arts from "Dragon Ball," such as Kamehameha, Spirit Bomb, and Instant Transmission... Nonetheless, since chakra was also a remarkable energy to cultivate, Li Zhenwu was not opposed to it.
He channeled his chakra into the chakra paper.
As its name suggests, the chakra paper could detect the attributes of a ninja's chakra.
Chakra is generally divided into five elements: Fire, Wind, Lightning, Water, and Earth.
Each element manifests differently on the chakra paper:
- Fire: the paper catches fire.
- Wind: the paper splits down the middle.
- Lightning: the paper crinkles.
- Water: the paper becomes wet.
- Earth: the paper crumbles.
However, when Li Zhenwu's chakra was applied to the chakra paper, instead of showing any of these five manifestations, it produced an unexpected result...
"Zzzzzz!" A faint sound emanated from the chakra paper.
The third Hokage's eyes reflected shock! Amidst his astonishment, there was also confusion and a hint of fear.
"What... attribute is this? Could it be a special attribute?"
"Hey, Master, what does this mean?" Li Zhenwu was also taken aback, because the chakra paper in his fingers did not display flames, splinter, crumble, or become wet.
It didn't show the wrinkled appearance of lightning either; instead, a strange phenomenon occurred.
As Li Zhenwu's chakra was channeled into the chakra paper, fine strands of golden electricity emerged, racing across the paper and producing a 'zzz' sound.
"This... this..." The third Hokage was truly astonished.
Even as a 'Professor' in the ninja world, he had never seen or heard of such a manifestation of chakra paper.
Hence, the third Hokage was momentarily at a loss for words.
"Could this be a new Kekkei Genkai?" he mused privately, but he hesitated to confirm this suspicion.
Investigations into Li Zhenwu's ancestry revealed that his family had been commoners for many generations.
Even his cousin, Rock Lee, who shared the same lineage, struggled with chakra cultivation, being regarded as a 'waste'.
In light of this, it would be unreasonable for Li Zhenwu to possess a Kekkei Genkai.
However, the current situation was difficult to explain unless it were indeed a special Kekkei Genkai!
While the third Hokage was lost in thought, Li Zhenwu gradually began to withdraw his chakra from the paper.
In an instant, the golden lightning on the chakra paper disappeared entirely, leaving it slightly crumpled.
Seeing this, the third Hokage felt a stir of doubt in his heart: "Could it be Lightning attribute?"
Yet, Lightning attribute chakra merely causes a wrinkled appearance on the paper; it wouldn't produce golden lightning.
Li Zhenwu looked at the now crumpled paper and suddenly recalled that the golden lightning felt oddly familiar and began to suspect why his chakra exhibited such a phenomenon.
When Saiyans reach a certain level of power, they undergo a transformation known as Super Saiyan.
After transforming into a Super Saiyan, their black hair turns golden, and they exude golden energy, often accompanied by golden lightning or electric aura...
Now that he thought about it, the manifestation on the chakra paper resembled those tiny specks of golden lightning.
"Could this be a unique chakra related to Saiyan physiology?" Li Zhenwu pondered thoughtfully.
