Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

He slowed his pace.

"Chiba... wait for me."

"Li, is get out of class over?"

"Yeah, sigh. They've been studying so hard every day lately, but I can't keep up at all. After trying for a few days, I had no choice but to keep exercising."

Xiao Li sighed, and judging from his expression, he was clearly feeling down lately.

Chiba couldn't help but smile, then earnestly advised, "Why are you comparing yourself to them? I graduated early because I had a need. You left school, but you still exercise every day. Don't you know how to balance work and rest? You might even ruin your health."

"Is that so?"

"Didn't Teacher Kai hit you?"

"Uh, yes, I did."

Xiao Li is very honest.

He wasn't smart; he was just often influenced by the atmosphere at school. Kai and Chiba both said that, and he felt that there was some truth to it, so he gradually stopped thinking about it.

then……

"Aww! As expected, it really feels better to train with Chiba! My youthful passion is boiling again! Chiba-kun, let's have a duel! We'll run 500 laps, and whoever can't keep going first loses and then has to do a 100-lap handstand!"

"hehe."

Chiba ignored him and instead sped up.

"Eh? Wait!"

"By the way, where's Teacher Kai?"

Normally, Li should train with Might Guy.

Xiao Li said, "They've gone on a mission, haven't they?"

"Sure, it's perfect timing to run into you. I have a research project that needs someone to help me. Would you be interested in joining?"

"I?"

Xiao Li was somewhat incredulous, his thick eyebrows twitching, clearly a little excited.

Chiba's favorite is still Might Guy.

The stronger one's physical skills, the more one can appreciate the benefits of making good use of muscle strength, and the more one can identify and fill gaps in one's abilities. Xiao Li belongs to the pure practice school.

Ask him how to punch or kick, and he'll definitely be able to perform it perfectly.

If you were to ask about the power principle behind this punch, or how to integrate chakra to maximize its power...

It would be a miracle if he understood it.

as predicted.

An hour later, Xiao Li looked completely bewildered, becoming increasingly confused as he listened.

"Fine, just play like this and see if it's better than before."

Chiba began throwing punches as he spoke.

One strike—

Gala!

The massive tree trunk emitted piercing cracks.

Chapter 13 Young man, let's have a passionate duel!

Xiao Li was dumbfounded and utterly astonished.

This……

What fist?

"How did you do it?"

"Perfectly utilize power, combined with the enhancement of chakra."

That's what Chiba is going to teach.

The Eight Gates, simply put, is about developing the chakra within the body to enhance physical strength. If the body is strong enough, it can offset some of the side effects, but if it's not strong enough, it will either kill or cripple you.

He doesn't understand the Eight Gates Formation, but the principles are similar and can be learned from.

"Amazing!"

Xiao Li's tone was excited, but there was also a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

difficult!

He shook his head secretly.

While its power and effects are not as great as true superhuman strength techniques, its power is quite remarkable when combined with physical techniques. However, its side effects are closer to those of Lotus Flower, as it can cause muscle damage if used frequently in a short period of time.

Those whose physical strength is below a certain level cannot learn this martial art.

"I haven't taught this to anyone else yet, so I don't know if this method will work for different people. You'll need to practice it with me."

Since starting school, among his classmates, only Chiba didn't look down on him. At first, they sympathized with each other because they were in the same boat, but later Xiao Li realized that they were different.

“Li, you and I don’t know ninjutsu or genjutsu, but you actually have chakra, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to climb trees and walk on water. So you can’t just tap into your physical strength, you should also use your chakra.”

Bang!

The tree trunk he had been using for training split open right at his fist.

I didn't realize I could use chakra to become very strong!

"Yes!"

Chiba seemed to be deep in thought. He used his chakra to examine the area, then took out a pen and paper and wrote down another passage.

Chiba said it was to cooperate with the experiment, but in reality, he was mostly teaching him.

He is not smart.

I want to optimize...

"Try doing what I say, and I'll observe from the side."

Kai and Xiao Li are great in every way, but their emotions are just so unpredictable, they come on so suddenly.

Chiba covered her face, speechless.

It really worked!

"Remember this feeling."

Xiao Li remained silent.

"Medical class, this kind of physical technique should be used as a killing move. It's not just about using your fists. If you can understand it, theoretically, you can use every point in your body that can generate power."

Become!

At that moment, he cried, he cried again.

"Come on, follow me."

"By the way, how's your hand?"

"Waaaaah, thank you, Chiba-kun, but I..."

Chiba said earnestly.

And now...

"Yes!"

"If you don't want to learn because of some factors, that's fine. Your ninja way is about proving yourself to be an excellent ninja through your own efforts, isn't it?"

"My hand? Oh... Ouch! It hurts!"

Xiao Li was extremely excited.

On the way back, Chiba pondered how to optimize it.

Xiao Li is just not smart, but he's not stupid.

Xiao Li was silent for a moment, then nodded emphatically.

Chiba said calmly.

Xiao Li shouted, and then started practicing.

However, he was not afraid of pain. He refined his chakra and threw punches again and again. Chiba observed him with his sensory abilities and gradually corrected his way of exerting force.

Xiao Li hadn't felt anything before, but once the excitement subsided, he immediately felt the pain.

Xiao Li stared blankly at his fist.

at last……

He referenced the Lotus Flower Technique and the Super Strength Technique; all things considered, it seems to be a basic version of both.

"where to?"

Extreme states come at a price; even superhuman strength techniques place extremely high demands on the learner.

Shizune accompanied Tsunade for many years but never learned the Super Strength Technique. It wasn't that Tsunade didn't want to teach her, but rather that Shizune lacked the necessary conditions to learn.

"Never mind, let's leave it at that for now."

Chiba had no better solution.

Perhaps knowing Tsunade and the full version of the Super Strength Technique could help optimize the effects and side effects of chakra enhancement, but for now it seems like wishful thinking and can only be put aside.

Xiao Li refused to go to the hospital, thinking that he would be fine after resting for a while.

Ultimately, it all comes down to money.

He was about to try to persuade him again...

Bang!
