In the courtyard of the Hyuga clan, all the ninjas were quite taken aback after witnessing Li Zhenwu's strength. The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, squinted his eyes, appearing rather frail as he said, "I hope that everyone present here will keep today's events to themselves…"
Under these circumstances, everyone naturally agreed.
Thus, there was no longer any doubt that the Hidden Cloud Ninja envoy, during their mission to Konoha, had sinister intentions, which ultimately led to their disastrous failure.
The body of the Hidden Cloud Ninja leader was taken away and stored by the Hokage's medical department, while both the administrative department and the Hokage would need to discuss how to handle this matter properly.
After all, the Hidden Cloud Ninja represented the Land of Lightning in Konoha with the aim of signing a peace treaty, but came with ulterior motives, intending to abduct Hinata Hyuga and uncover the secrets of the Byakugan.
In light of this situation, how to approach the Land of Lightning became a pressing question.
Li Zhenwu safely returned home, escorted by the police department. At that time, Konoha still had six main departments, and the police department was one of them.
The police department was primarily staffed by the Uchiha clan, responsible for maintaining safety in the village.
Strictly speaking, the police department was slightly negligent this time, so they eagerly escorted Li Zhenwu back home and arranged for personnel to patrol nearby.
As he was being taken home, Li Zhenwu did not resist; instead, he curiously asked questions of the Uchiha clan members escorting him.
"Brother Shisui, what does it feel like when you activate your Sharingan?"
"What's it like to be caught in a genjutsu?"
"Which is stronger, the Sharingan or the Byakugan?"
At first, Li Zhenwu found the Uchiha police officer somewhat familiar, but after learning his name, he realized this Uchiha was none other than the famed Uchiha Shisui!
Shisui not only held the title "Shunshin no Shisui" in the ninja world but was also a rare user of the Mangekyou Sharingan at that moment.
Additionally, in his previous life, Shisui was known as the "Strongest Background Character Emperor"...
Faced with him, Li Zhenwu's curiosity burst forth, and he asked questions without pause.
Perhaps because Uchiha Shisui was naturally calm and kind, or maybe because Li Zhenwu, appearing as a three-year-old, was quite endearing, Shisui answered nearly all of Li Zhenwu's queries.
Li Zhenwu's curiosity was thoroughly satisfied.
By the time he got home, he confidently called Uchiha Shisui "Brother Shisui."
"I'm home now, goodbye Brother Shisui!" Li Zhenwu waved his hand in farewell at the door.
Uchiha Shisui nodded slightly. After Li Zhenwu entered his house, Shisui vanished from sight in an instant.
Upon returning home, Li Zhenwu discovered that his parents were still out, so he shut the door behind him and immediately began to tally his gains from that evening!
"System, come out!" Li Zhenwu called out in his mind.
On the system interface, Li Zhenwu saw his combat point rewards from tonight's battles. He earned 1 point from completing a task, 20 points from defeating the leader of the Hidden Cloud Ninja, and then gained 5 points from a brief spar with Guy.
Though the engagement with the powerful Might Guy was more of a friendly bout, Li Zhenwu did exert considerable effort using his techniques, so the system classified it as a battle.
Since Might Guy was quite formidable, the points earned from this confrontation exceeded those gained from his earlier skirmish with the Hidden Cloud Ninja Genin.
As a result, Li Zhenwu currently had a total of 26 combat points.
These combat points could only be used to exchange for items and could not be spent on enhancing his attributes.
Regardless, they proved to be quite useful. For example, a single Senzu Bean cost only 20 points, while the highest-grade items, such as seven Dragon Balls, required a significantly higher number of points.
The more intense and dangerous the battle, the greater the number of combat points earned. For Li Zhenwu, acquiring 26 points in one night was already quite impressive.
According to the system, combat points were essentially the 'energy' that overflowed during Li Zhenwu's fights, which the system collected and converted into points.
Thus, if the brawl consisted of nothing more than a few light punches and kicks, it wouldn't yield any significant points.
Li Zhenwu directed his attention to the system's exchange panel.
There, he found a series of enticing items up for exchange.
At that moment, the item Li Zhenwu desired most was the *Saiyan Transformation Suppression Liquid!*
This liquid could suppress the uncontrollable transformations of a Saiyan during a full moon.
Li Zhenwu wanted to avoid the painful experience of losing his tail and also prevent himself from turning into a raging Ape under the moon's light, so this transformation suppression liquid was essential.
However, the cost for this suppression liquid was 50 points!
Currently, Li Zhenwu was still nearly halfway short of the points needed.
Nevertheless, he wasn't anxious; instead, he stroked his chin and mused, "Now that I've slightly revealed my power in the village, I will have the opportunity to interact with the ninja community.
In this context, engaging in battles shouldn't be a problem at all.
Therefore, needing points just for a transformation suppression liquid isn't a big deal!"
While contemplating, Li Zhenwu's gaze shifted back to the other items on the exchange panel, and his eyes shone with excitement: "But if I want to exchange for something else, I'll still need a sizable number of combat points."
On the exchange panel, he could see all sorts of alluring items.
Ki Cultivation Technique: 500 points.*
World-Announcing Palm: 800 points.*
Kamehameha: 1300 points.*
Solar Flare: 1000 points.*
Spirit Slash, Ki Cannon, Universal Penetrating Fist, Dragon Punch...*
Li Zhenwu was overwhelmed with desire; the system contained everything from spaceships and Dragon Balls to the most rudimentary martial arts.
After indulging in the visual feast, Li Zhenwu reluctantly pulled his gaze away.
He, too, longed to ride the Nimbus, wield the Ruyi Jingu Bang, don a battle suit, and shoot spirit bombs from his head...
But all of this hinged on acquiring a massive number of combat points!
