Chapter 18: Jie xuan-kun, Say I'm Cute
"I've heard the Byakugan is the Hyuga clan's greatest source of pride—their bloodline limit?"
As he spoke, Li Jie xuan slowly leaned toward Hyuga Yizu's ear. "Something that important needs to be protected properly, you little brat…"
After saying that, Li Jie xuan let out a soft chuckle, calmly put away the space–time kunai, turned around, and left. Hyuga Yizu stood there dumbly, his face flushed bright red, unable to say a single word.
He had lost—utterly and completely.
Hyuga Yizu… actually lost?
Most of the people present found it hard to accept this fact. But to Li Jie xuan, winning this fight was hardly surprising at all…
Not to mention Hyuga Yizu's carelessness—after several days of extreme training, Li Jie xuan's physique alone far surpassed Hyuga Yizu's.
After all, he was just an ordinary ninja in the Naruto world. If it had been Hyuga Neji instead, Li Jie xuan wouldn't have had such an easy time…
Still, no matter what, this counted as his first battle since coming to the Naruto world.
Li Jie xuan smiled and shook his head. At least the outcome wasn't bad…
"Open the beginner treasure chest."
A faint glow flashed, and a pale green vial suddenly appeared in Li Jie xuan's hand.
"Stamina Potion."
Stamina Potion: One bottle is all it takes to make your body pulse back to life.
Li Jie xuan couldn't help but curl his lip. This was the first time he'd gotten something like this. Judging from the unreliable description, who knew whether it was actually useful.
Just then, Tsunade suddenly grabbed Li Jie xuan.
"Fight me!"
"Huh?"
Li Jie xuan stared at her in bewilderment. Why? I didn't do anything wrong, did I?
Could it be that this Hyuga Yizu is Tsunade's fiancé? That doesn't seem right—wasn't Tsunade's boyfriend that short-lived guy named Dan?
Tsunade stood squarely in front of Li Jie xuan, raised her fists, and said seriously, "You clearly have powerful strength, so why did you use that kind of method to defeat me and end up being looked down on by others for no reason?"
Obviously, Tsunade was standing up for Li Jie xuan. She believed that even without gambling, Li Jie xuan could have defeated her and joined the Ninja Academy fair and square. That was why she wanted to fight him—to prove this to everyone else…
What a cute little girl!
Li Jie xuan smiled and shook his head, then jumped up and patted Tsunade on the head. "I, Li Jie xuan, never fight cute girls…"
With that, Li Jie xuan turned away coolly and left, leaving Tsunade standing there alone in a daze.
Li Jie xuan still had to hurry home. Who knew what kind of task that devil Might Guy had arranged for him today?
Li Jie xuan walked away carefree, but Tsunade's little face slowly turned red. "Doesn't fight cute girls… Did Jie xuan-kun just say I'm cute?"
The degree of early maturity among children in the Naruto world was something Li Jie xuan, a man from Earth, simply couldn't imagine…
And hidden in the shadows, watching everything unfold, Yamada Tsugiyuki couldn't help but smile and shake his head. "This kid really is a natural flirt…"
Though jumping up to pat someone's head like that was honestly pretty ridiculous.
But there was no helping it—after all, Li Jie xuan was still half a year younger than even the youngest Tsunade, and that bastard Hetian never gave him anything good to eat.
"Still, I should grow taller pretty soon, right?"
Li Jie xuan carried his clay bathing jar on his back and performed push-ups steadily. Beside him, Might Guy was also carrying a jar, pumping up and down like crazy. "Yeah, I think you'll grow taller soon. When I was your age, I couldn't handle this level of training…"
Before Might Duy woke up, completing five hundred weighted push-ups—this was the Might family's training task for the day.
"334…" "472…"
Almost done!
There was still a full hour before Might Duy usually finished his midday nap, and Li Jie xuan clenched his teeth and pressed on steadily.
But just at that moment—
"Waaah~~!"
That awful brat Might Duy actually woke up early…
"My youth is burning!"
Might Guy laughed as he sprang to his feet. "Since we didn't finish, then before the hot water boils, it's five hundred squats!"
Without the slightest frustration over falling short, Might Guy immediately threw himself into the next round of training…
"You really are a hot-blooded idiot."
Li Jie xuan smiled and shook his head. Then he clenched his teeth and roared, "Five hundred squats—I'm in too!"
"One, two…"
