I am the most popular character in Naruto!

"Watch...watch carefully?"

"What do you think is promising?"

Chiaki endured the pain in her abdomen and tried her best to lift her head to catch Hiruzen Sarutobi's movements.

Even though Hiruzen Sarutobi was holding back, his speed was still so fast that Chiaki couldn't catch up.

Peng pa pa pa

The continuous attacks forced Qianqiu to retreat, and she could only hold on to her life armor, which offered little protection against damage, as she continued to back away.

I have no choice but to hold on. Holding on won't block much damage, but if I don't hold on, I'll get hammered into a pulp.

"Try defending against my attack, little Chiaki!"

While attacking at a speed that Chiaki couldn't even react to, Hiruzen Sarutobi calmly spoke to Chiaki.

"I want to too! Ugh..."

Chiaki endured the attacks all the way, trying her best to discern and capture Hiruzen Sarutobi's attacks.

But often, before she could even extend her hand, her body would be forced into a curled-up position, unable to move.

"Your strength must be more than this, right?"

"Come on, unleash your potential!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi continued to strike Chiaki's body, seemingly without any fatigue, relentlessly beating Chiaki.

Chiaki was completely stunned. She felt her mind go blank and could only passively endure Hiruzen Sarutobi's attacks.

Hiruzen Sarutobi truly lived up to his reputation as the strongest in the world; his attacks were perfectly timed, hitting Chiaki at the limit he could withstand, without actually knocking Chiaki down.

The first strong strike was just to test Qianqiu's limits. From the second strike onwards, the limits were almost reached, and the third strike was completely at Qianqiu's limit.

This is micro-management!

"Is this all you're capable of?"

"You think you can protect me with this? Isn't that a bit arrogant, little Qianqiu?"

"Didn't Jiraiya and the others teach you how to take a beating when they were training you in taijutsu?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke in a calm tone, beginning to use words to provoke Chiaki's competitive spirit.

However, Chiaki remained unmoved after hearing this, because she had never experienced being beaten like this before...

Think about it: Jiraiya is good at ninjutsu, Orochimaru is good at secret techniques, and Tsunade is good at superhuman strength and medical ninjutsu.

Chiaki, who is almost a disciple of Tsunade, is also a medical ninjutsu and superhuman strength user. Her usual taijutsu training is the most basic combat, and she would not be subjected to such a rapid beating.

and also……

In fact, Chiaki could keep up with the physical training, and she could even barely keep up with Sakumo Hatake's swordsmanship training.

but……

Grandpa, you're way too strong!

Qianqiu was extremely distressed. It wasn't like he hadn't fought against Kage-level opponents before.

Hanzo the Salamander and Chiyo—aren't they both Kage-level characters?

But compared to Hiruzen Sarutobi, they are worlds apart...

The difference in strength is far too obvious.

"Come on! Try to defend against one of my attacks!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to realize that Chiaki's speed couldn't keep up, so he slightly reduced his own speed.

Soon, Chiaki began to realize that he could catch Hiruzen Sarutobi's movements and tried his best to defend himself.

Snapped

After a short while of effort, Chiaki finally managed to land a punch on Hiruzen Sarutobi's fist. Hiruzen Sarutobi said with satisfaction, "Not bad! Keep going!"

"Try to get used to my movements!"

"Don't make things too difficult for me, Grandpa!"

Chiaki screamed and frantically waved her hands, desperately trying to defend against Hiruzen Sarutobi's attack.

She felt her heart beating faster and faster, her cells becoming more and more active, and her blood boiling as she continued to defend herself and follow Hiruzen Sarutobi's movements.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was guiding Chiaki's battle potential! "Excellent! Stabilize this state!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled as he spoke, constantly assessing Chiaki's limits through battle and then gradually improving all of Chiaki's reactions based on those limits.

Unbeknownst to her, Chiaki was actually able to keep up with Hiruzen Sarutobi's attacks and even launch counterattacks.

Qianqiu was stunned. She had never known that she could move so fast, and she had never seen anyone who could gradually bring out their combat potential through combat.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, yyds!

At this moment, the speed of their battle was extremely fast. Qianqiu only felt that her body had begun to hurt, but the replenishment of pink life force allowed her to quickly repair her body and strengthen it, allowing her to gradually adapt to this battle rhythm and intensity.

"very good!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes grew increasingly excited; he had never seen anyone's combat potential reach such a level!

Oh……

Yes, there are. Hashirama Senju was at that level, as was Madara Uchiha. These two overpowered characters were able to improve wildly in battle, just like Chiaki, with ridiculously high potential.

"If you weren't a medical ninja, I'd even like to train you to be a taijutsu-type ninja!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi remarked with admiration, "Your talent is too great, with rapid recovery and unparalleled combat potential... It's such a waste that you're not a taijutsu ninja!"

"Grandpa, can you rest for a while? I feel like I'm about to collapse..."

What kind of taijutsu ninja is this? Don't be ridiculous...

Chiaki desperately pushed her reflexes to the limit; she wasn't suited for this kind of agile combat, let alone being a pure taijutsu-type ninja.

Think of Rock Lee who was banned, think of Might Guy who became a god with one kick, aren't they all fighting with super-fast movement?

Chiaki felt that with her newfound understanding of the world beyond, she was indeed better suited for a defensive counter-attacking style. It's better not to force things that aren't right...

"Hehe, let's stop with the physical techniques for now."

"In the coming days, feel free to spar with me whenever you have time."

Hiruzen Sarutobi reached out and grabbed Chiaki's wrist, bringing her to a slow stop.

Chiaki had hoped to relax a bit, but Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled mysteriously and pushed her away.

Are you feeling tired?

"The most dangerous time is when you are most exhausted!"

"In the ninja world, ninjutsu-type ninjas are still the most numerous, and often, attackers will choose to use ninjutsu to protect themselves!"

"???"

Chiaki, feeling dizzy, was pushed aside by Hiruzen Sarutobi, who then crossed his index fingers and activated Shadow Clone Jutsu.

bang bang

Five shadow clones of Hiruzen Sarutobi appeared around Chiaki, while Hiruzen Sarutobi's main body formed hand seals at an imperceptible speed and suddenly waved his hand at Chiaki.

"Earth Release! Earth Flow River!"

In an instant, a large amount of soil surged up, enveloping Qianqiu like a rushing, turbulent river, immobilizing her.

Let's see if we can withstand this attack!

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet Technique!"

"Water Release! Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

"Earth escape! Earth Dragon Bullet Technique!"

"Combined Lightning and Water Release! Lightning Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

"Ninja Art Five Elements! Great Combo Bullet Technique!"

Chapter 202 Path and Idea

"Woooooooo..."

"That third-generation stinking old man is not human!"

"This old man has no sportsmanship! He's bullying a minor like me!"

"From now on, we won't call him grandpa anymore, we'll just call him that old geezer!"

In the Hokage's office, Chiaki was sobbing in Mirai's arms, while Mirai stroked Chiaki's hair, both amused and exasperated.

At this moment, Qianqiu's clothes were torn, and her body had shrunk to the size of a ten-year-old, clearly indicating that her life force had been excessively depleted.

Tsunade, who had been called over, rolled her eyes and sped up Chiaki's treatment.

Her life force was completely depleted, and even her self-healing slowed down. She was sore all over and unable to move at all.

"That's why Jiraiya and I have been calling him that old man for a long time. He's always been like that."

"They didn't hold back at all when they trained with us, which was even worse. There was no one to treat you, and you had to recover entirely on your own..."

Tsunade treated Chiaki while giving Hiruzen Sarutobi a glare.

"Hehe... It's been too long since I've had a real fight, I'm itching to show my skills! Itching to show my skills!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled, looking at Chiaki with great satisfaction. "Little Chiaki is quite a promising talent. With just a little guidance from me, she has already grown so much. If she trains with me for a while longer, she should be able to quickly break through to the level of an elite Jonin."

"From now on, you'll have to rely on your own efforts to find your own path to becoming a Shadow."

"Pah, you old codger, what Shadow Path do you have?"

Jiraiya stood to the side with his arms crossed. He had rushed over to check after noticing Hiruzen Sarutobi's chakra burst and his signature Five Elements Great Barrage.

I never expected to see Chang Wei beating Lai Fu...

呸

I saw the old man bullying Xiao Qianqiu.
