Finally, Guy Sensei is back in the village!
Li Zhenwu received this news and was filled with joy.
The strongest taijutsu ninja, Guy Sensei, returning to the village meant that Li Zhenwu finally had the best training partner!
Although the friendly sparring wouldn't yield a lot of battle points, every bit counted! According to the system, battles that are not between true enemies yield only a small portion of battle points because the mental states of the fighters differ.
Thus, even after numerous battles with Guy Sensei and challenging ninjas around the village, Li Zhenwu's total battle points barely exceeded one hundred.
The last time he exchanged for the Saiyan transformation suppressor, he spent fifty points all at once.
"Little Zhenwu, long time no see! You're still so full of energy and radiating youthful vigor!" Guy Sensei exclaimed upon seeing Li Zhenwu, flashing his trademark big smile and giving a thumbs-up.
"Guy Sensei, you're finally back! How were the missions outside?" Li Zhenwu asked directly.
A month ago, Guy Sensei had left Konoha suddenly on a mission, and during that time, Li Zhenwu spent his days challenging ninjas around the village.
He had also pieced together some information from the Third Hokage, which helped him deduce why Guy Sensei had left Konoha.
His recent departure was related to the incident involving the Hyuga clan! Ever since Li Zhenwu disrupted the course of events last time, not only did Hizashi Hyuga not commit suicide, but the atmosphere between Konoha and the Land of Lightning had also become tense, with war seeming imminent...
Guy Sensei had left the village to go to the Land of Lightning due to this situation.
"Everything went smoothly!" Guy Sensei replied with enthusiasm but didn't divulge his mission details to Li Zhenwu.
"Oh, that's great! Let's go celebrate with some Ichiraku ramen!" Li Zhenwu suggested, nodding.
From Guy Sensei's response, it seemed that war with the Land of Lightning was no longer a concern, and the tension had dissipated. This left Li Zhenwu unsure whether to sigh in relief or disappointment.
...
In front of Ichiraku Ramen, a figure dressed in a green vest sat on a stool along with three small figures. The owner of the ramen shop worked tirelessly making noodles!
The three small figures were Rock Lee, wearing the same green uniform, Uzumaki Naruto in his yellow attire, and Li Zhenwu in orange.
Since Li Zhenwu wanted to have ramen with Guy Sensei, he naturally included Rock Lee, and with three already gathered, he didn't mind adding another, so he called Naruto over too.
Naruto was thrilled and, sitting in front of the ramen shop, gobbled down four or five big bowls of ramen in one go, satisfied before putting down his chopsticks.
Meanwhile, Li Zhenwu was still working hard, having already piled a stack of bowls in front of him.
The others there were quite stout; Naruto, as the jinchūriki, could eat a lot, and Guy Sensei, due to his intense daily training, also had a remarkable appetite.
Rock Lee, living with him and training rigorously, was likewise not a light eater.
However, compared to Li Zhenwu, a Saiyan, they didn't stand out at all...
Rock Lee finished eating, but Li Zhenwu was still munching away.
Naruto was full, yet Li Zhenwu was still focused on his food.
Even Guy Sensei finished eating, but Li Zhenwu continued!
Finally, after a long wait, Li Zhenwu reluctantly set down his bowl, patting his belly, and said, "Not bad, I'm about eighty percent full."
The ramen shop owner wiped the sweat from his forehead.
It was almost as if he couldn't keep up with Li Zhenwu's pace.
Even so, Li Zhenwu had only managed to eat to about eighty percent fullness.
"Truly the 'Konoha Monster'..." the ramen shop owner thought to himself.
After finishing their ramen, the group didn't leave; instead, they remained seated, digesting their food while chatting.
"Cousin, you're amazing! I heard you skipped another grade!" Rock Lee, feeling bloated, lay on the table, his eyes drifting to Li Zhenwu.
"Hehe, just average, third in the world," Li Zhenwu replied casually, trying to appear modest.
"Wow, Zhenwu, that's incredible!" Naruto exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with admiration for Li Zhenwu.
In truth, three-year-old Naruto didn't fully grasp what skipping grades meant, but he knew that to become Hokage, one had to graduate from the Ninja Academy!
In contrast, he, Uzumaki Naruto, hadn't even started school yet, while his peer Li Zhenwu was already moving up the ranks!
Guy Sensei, having returned to the village after a month's absence, was somewhat surprised by Li Zhenwu's pace at school, but it wasn't too shocking.
After all, during their sparring sessions previously, he had a general understanding of Li Zhenwu's strength.
If it was purely based on strength alone, Li Zhenwu would indeed be able to graduate from school quickly!
He already possessed the strength comparable to a ninja!
What truly astonished Guy Sensei was that Li Zhenwu had cultivated enough chakra within just one month!
It's worth noting that because of his guardianship of Rock Lee, Rock Lee hadn't attended school yet but was already exposed to chakra training quite early on.
However, from the time he started learning about chakra until now, Rock Lee still hadn't sensed chakra.
Meanwhile, Li Zhenwu, being Rock Lee's cousin, managed to amass enough chakra in just one short month...
Guy Sensei was very surprised, as genetic traits in the ninja world hold considerable weight.
For example, his father, Might Duy, was only a low-ranking ninja his entire life due to his lack of chakra.
Guy Sensei himself still struggled to use ninjutsu due to innate deficiencies.
Yet, as the son of a commoner, Li Zhenwu's terrifying talent, without any history of ninja lineage for generations, was simply astounding.
Truly deserving of the title 'Konoha Monster'!
Not just because of that unusual tail, but also due to his incredible talent!
