Li Zhenwu was still young, yet he boldly showcased his strength in front of a group of ninjas without any fear. On one hand, it's his confidence as a Saiyan; on the other, it was partly because he can rely on his 'young age.'
Everyone in the courtyard, including members of the Hyuga clan, the Third Hokage, the police department, and medical ninjas dealing with the bodies, were all quite astonished.
"Little Zhenwu, are you really that strong?" Guy Sensei couldn't help but exclaim.
"Of course, I'm a genius!" Li Zhenwu lifted his head, intentionally trying to show off a little.
He wasn't a genius like Uchiha Itachi, who comes from a special family background. The Uchiha clan's status was quite sensitive in Konoha right now, so even though Uchiha Itachi was a rare talent in Konoha, he wasn't regarded as an outstanding blessing for the entire village.
As for Li Zhenwu... he was a native of Konoha, born into a common family within the village—completely belonging to Konoha.
When talking about genius, Konoha ninjas at this moment couldn't help but think of Uchiha Itachi, who, at just eight years old, has already graduated from the ninja school and awakened his Sharingan.
Guy Sensei, however, was reminded of his lifelong rival, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, "Zhenwu, you're even more of a genius than that guy Kakashi!"
If Uchiha Itachi represents the current genius of Konoha, then a few years back, that title undoubtedly belonged to Kakashi Hatake, who became a Jōnin at the age of only twelve.
"I'm not as good as Teacher Kakashi," Li Zhenwu humbly waved his hand.
Thanks to his cousin Rock Lee, Li Zhenwu has a decent relationship with Guy Sensei, so his knowledge of Kakashi goes beyond what he's seen in the manga from his past life.
Kakashi graduated from the ninja school at five and became a Chunin at six—his talent was indeed somewhat comparable to Li Zhenwu's.
However, while he verbally downplayed his abilities, inside, Li Zhenwu feels a sense of pride in being a Saiyan.
Saiyans... are not inferior to anyone!
"Even if you're behind, it's not by much!" Guy Sensei exclaims passionately, "I didn't expect your talent to be so strong, igniting my passion for talented individuals. Let's have a duel and see if you're really telling the truth!"
"If you're lying, you'll end up with some spanks, just so you know. Here I come!" Without waiting for a response, Guy Sensei leaped into action.
Guy Sensei knew that despite Li Zhenwu's confident declaration of his power, the ninjas present have an underlying doubt.
Guy Sensei's attack will serve to prove or disprove Li Zhenwu's claims.
"Whoa, Guy Sensei, that was a sneak attack!" Li Zhenwu exclaimed, but he quickly steadies himself, moving to the side to dodge.
He realizes that although Guy Sensei was being dramatic, the force behind his attack was certainly within the range of a Genin, so Li Zhenwu was not too worried about being overpowered.
Instead, he seizes this opportunity to prove himself.
"Such quick movements." Guy Sensei's eyes light up upon seeing Li Zhenwu dodge; he became excited and performed a side kick and executed the Leaf Hurricane technique with incredible skill.
"Whoa!"
Even though Guy Sensei was holding back, Li Zhenwu felt the immense pressure—it was certainly not the same level as the previous Hidden Cloud Ninja he faced.
With a casual 'Leaf Hurricane,' Guy Sensei generated a fierce gust of wind, even before his leg reached Li Zhenwu!
Bang! Li Zhenwu jumped and rotated out of the way, landing heavily on the ground. His Saiyan blood starts to boil with excitement, pushing him to charge forward, "Don't hesitate, just go for it!"
"I'm coming too!" Not wanting to let Guy Sensei maintain the initiative, Li Zhenwu pushed off the ground with powerful legs.
Bang! He left a small crater where he kicked off, launching himself at Guy Sensei like a cannonball!
"Eat my simple flurry of punches!" Li Zhenwu, relying on his small and agile body, unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks.
"Simple left hook!"
"Simple right hook!"
"Simple sweeping kick!"
"Simple axe kick!"
"Simple right side kick!"
"Simple left side kick!"
"Monkey Steals Peach Punch!"
Bang bang bang bang! The sounds of impact continue.
Once Li Zhenwu begins his assault, Guy Sensei immediately shifts to a defensive position, allowing Li Zhenwu to unleash his barrage of punches and kicks.
After an impressive series of attacks, Li Zhenwu used up all his moves!
All the ninjas present begin to realize that Li Zhenwu's speed and striking power were no trivial matter—he truly possessed the power of a ninja! And it is solely through his taijutsu that he rivaled even a shinobi!
It wasn't until Li Zhenwu performs his final "Monkey Steals Peach Punch" that Guy Sensei, shaking slightly, quickly executed a defensive maneuver and immediately captured Li Zhenwu's arms, bringing him to a halt.
"Where on earth did you learn these moves?" Guy Sensei stopped the fight, exclaiming in disbelief at Li Zhenwu's last maneuver.
"Hehe, I just figured them out myself," Li Zhenwu grinned.
The ninjas who witnessed this all nod secretly; it's clear that, although his punches and kicks were chaotic and lack any formal style, Li Zhenwu relies entirely on his speed, strength, and body flexibility to attack.
But that's what makes it even more astonishing.
At just three years old, his simple taijutsu, with no use of chakra, was already on par with a ninja!
What an incredible talent!
They all exclaimed in mind.
