Chapter 168 Whitebeard’s 100% Recovery Treatment Plan! Naruto and Xiao Li!

"993...994...995..." Xiao Li held the back of his head and jumped forward like a big toad.

There were layers of sweat on his forehead, and there was a stubborn look on his face that was very tired but unwilling to rest.

"Class starts in an hour, I absolutely can't give up! I must jump to the ninja school within an hour!"

This is also a kind of exercise that Xiao Li gives himself every morning.

He has very poor Ninjutsu talent, so he can only use this method to slowly make himself stronger.

Although I don’t know if I can become a ninja by doing this? Can you improve your Ninjutsu talent?

But Xiao Li understands that if a person is not even willing to give it a try, he will never have a chance in this life.

"996...997..." Suddenly a strange voice sounded from behind, making Xiao Li stunned for a moment.

Who is counting next to me? !

Being frightened, Xiao Li accidentally tripped his left foot and hit his right foot.

The whole person fell to the ground.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

"it hurts!!!"

Xiao Li hurriedly climbed up and covered his nose with his hand.

This fall accidentally hit his nose.

Fortunately, it's nothing serious, just very sore.

It was so sore that tears were about to flow out.

He turned back with a startled expression.

What appeared in front of Xiao Li was a man with golden hair.

Xiao Li saw that the other party was tied up by two extremely thick ropes. The thick ropes were tied with a huge iron lump and was carried behind the other party.

The size of the iron lump was even larger than the other person's entire body.

"...You are?" Xiao Li was dumbfounded. Is this really something that a person can carry on his back?

He couldn't help but touch some of the lead weights tied to his arms.

Xiao Li actually has a heavy load on his body.

But his load was not very heavy.

All the lead weights on my body add up to about ten to twenty kilograms.

This is already his current limit.

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto!" Naruto smiled at Xiao Li: "You look very powerful! You actually jumped nearly 1,000 times in the leapfrog style! And there must be something tied to you, it looks quite heavy. Looks like."

The compliment from Naruto made Xiao Li feel at a loss.

Because even in the ninja school, most of what Xiao Li received was cynicism.

Because his ninjutsu talent is too low, he can't learn any ninjutsu, and even the ninjutsu seals are very poor.

When other students in the Ninja School were practicing forming seals, they might only need ten seconds to form nine seals.

But Xiao Li made nine seals, and it took him a full minute!

And there may be a few wrong ones among these nine seals.

Or your fingers are almost tangled halfway through the knot.

It is precisely for this reason that even Teacher Mizuki said bluntly: He is not suitable to be a ninja.

Shuimu also "persuaded" Xiao Li to go home as soon as possible.

Ninja school is not a place for people like him.

As long as Xiao Li stayed in the ninja school, he was ridiculed.

But he was used to the taunts.

I also learned not to care about their sarcasm.

But……

Suddenly one day, instead of ridiculing me, the peers I met unexpectedly praised me. This behavior directly broke Xiao Li's "habit".

It's hard for Xiao Li to fix it.

"My...my name is Rock Lee!" Xiao Li sniffed.

His nose accidentally fell off just now, and now the tip of his nose is still a little red.

But luckily there was no bleeding.

"I, I'm not great at all." Xiao Li scratched his head, feeling very embarrassed: "I just want to use this method so that I won't become the weakest person in the class."

"But..." Xiao Li said disappointedly: "But my ninja talent is too poor. No matter how hard I try, I still fall behind."

"class?"

Naruto suddenly realized: "You are also a student of the ninja school!"

"Eh?" Xiao Li was startled: "Are you too?"

Naruto gave up half of his body so that Li could see Sasuke behind him. He smiled and said: "Me and the guy named Uchiha Sasuke behind are also students of the Ninja School! But we are all freshmen of the Ninja School. , our teacher is Iruka."

The first time I meet someone of my own age, I will take the initiative to talk to myself.

Xiao Li was a little at a loss.

He hurriedly responded to the loud shout: "I am a second-year student at Ninja School, and my teacher is Mizuki-sensei. You...hello!"

It looks very energetic at first glance!

"Ah! No! I was already delayed for half a minute by accident."

Xiao Li suddenly came to his senses: "I can already do more than a dozen frog jumps in half a minute. I want to continue practicing!"

After saying that, he quickly squatted down and assumed a standard posture.

"998...999...1000..."

Xiao Li continues to shed his youthful sweat.

Naruto stared thoughtfully at Xiao Li's jumping back.

He thinks this guy named "Rock Lee" is quite interesting.

Because what he practiced was actually physical skills.

"What's going on with those thick eyebrows?" Sasuke had already run over at this time. He was so tired that his mouth was dry and he looked at Xiao Li.

"He is a very hard-working person!" After Naruto replied, he looked at Sasuke faintly: "Sasuke, why did you stop? Do you want to be lazy in an honest way? Do you still have six laps left? Finished running!”

Naruto stopped playing with the kunai and held the kunai in his hand.

In the morning light, the kunai reflected a metallic luster.

Sasuke's face suddenly turned pale: "...Wait, wait a minute!"

It's a pity that Naruto didn't listen to him, and he stabbed the kunai towards Sasuke without hesitation.

Sharingan!

open!

Sasuke was so shocked that he opened his Sharingan. Under the super dynamic vision of the Sharingan, Sasuke could clearly see the trajectory of the kunai in Naruto's hand.

He actually avoided it.

"Sharingan?" Naruto noticed Sasuke's eyes: "But why is there only one magatama?"

Naruto, who was mumbling, did not stop holding the kunai in his hand.

Shocked, Sasuke had to dodge again.

"You can't fix it! Bastard Naruto! You're not done with this guy!" Sasuke was startled and broke into a cold sweat.

Without hesitation he ran away again.

"Huh?" Xiao Li on the side took this scene into his eyes.

He was stunned.

"Want to join us for special training? Rock Lee!" Naruto did not chase Sasuke for the time being, but looked down at Xiao Li.

"Ah I?"

Xiao Li was stunned.

"But..." Xiao Li said weakly: "But people like me who don't have ninja talent will only hold you back."

"Idiot!" Naruto laughed: "How could a person who works so hard hold others back? You know that your ninjutsu talent is not high, but you still insist on exercising. Doesn't this just mean that you don't want to be That crane tail?"

"Doesn't this just mean that you don't want to be the one holding you back? If that's the case, why don't you dare to train with us? Besides, if you want to become a qualified ninja, you don't have to know ninjutsu!"

"Huh? Huh?!"

Naruto's words made Xiao Li's eyes widen: "Can you become a qualified ninja without knowing ninjutsu?"

"Well--"

Naruto thought for a while and corrected himself: "I should say, he doesn't know ninjutsu, he is even more powerful than a ninja!"

"Because my dad doesn't know ninjutsu, but my dad is no worse than any ninja, or even stronger than any ninja!"

Naruto's little face was filled with pride when he mentioned Whitebeard.

In Naruto's eyes, his father is the most powerful person in the ninja world.

Even if dad does not know any ninjutsu.

But this does not hinder dad's strength.

"Really, really?" Naruto's words already made Xiao Li's eyes light up: "Naruto, didn't you lie to me?"

Naruto smiled brightly and gave a thumbs up to Xiao Li: "Speak directly...that's the ninja way of Naruto Uzumaki! Under normal circumstances, I will never lie to others!"

Xiao Li automatically ignored the words "under normal circumstances".

At this moment, he no longer hesitated.

"good!!!"

Xiao Li blew out two puffs of air from his nose, and his whole body was boiling with enthusiasm from Naruto's words, like a highly motivated calf: "Then I will train with you!"

"Hahaha!" Naruto stretched out his hand to Xiao Li who was squatting on the ground: "Then we will be friends! Be my friend, Xiao Li!"

"friend……"

Xiao Li was stunned as if struck by lightning.

His eyes suddenly filled with tears.

His thick eyebrows were trembling.

Xiao Li never had any friends in the two years he spent at the ninja school.

Even his relationship with his classmates is not very harmonious.

Because no one will interact with the crane tail.

Since a jackass is destined not to become a ninja, there is no need to build a personal network with this jackass.

Wouldn't it be better to have the time to seduce some ninja children?

This is what most civilian students think.

Although their age is generally seven or eight years old, they are only eight or nine years old at most. Children in the ninja world are already very precocious.

It is very normal to have such thoughts.

As for those ninja children...

Unless there are special circumstances, they will not interact with someone like Xiao Li, because it doesn't mean anything to them.

As a result, Xiao Li has been living alone for the past two years.

At only eight years old, he needs to take the little orphan relief money given by Konoha and support himself alone.

Go to school alone.

After school alone.

A person practices asceticism.

The three words "a person" represent Xiao Li's life rhythm.

It would be a lie to say that I am not alone.

If you say you don't want a friend, that's a lie.

No one desires to have a friend more than Xiao Li.

Especially friends of the same age.

"Wow! Naruto!" He actually hugged Naruto's thigh, tears and snot flowing out together: "Since I came out of the orphanage, I don't have a friend anymore, and no one wants to be with me. Become friends with people like me. Wow, Naruto, you are so nice! You are a good person!"

Xiao Li is still very well-behaved in the ninja school.

He never skipped class.

Not even late.

but……

Today is an exception.

He skipped class.

…

The time soon arrived at noon.

The scorching sun hung high in the sky.

Konoha gate.

Compared to the huge Konoha gate, Tsunade and Shizune's bodies looked a bit slender and petite. Even if Tsunade has a big heart, it still depends on what kind of things it is compared to.

"That old man can really walk! He walked all the way from Konoha Village to the border of Konoha, then to the Country of Grass, then to the Country of Water, and then ran back to Konoha Village..."

He looked up at the Leaf Village that was so close in front of him.

There were several black lines on Tsunade's face.

She and Shizune followed the path that Whitebeard had walked along the way, which was equivalent to making an exaggerated circle between the Land of Fire, the Land of Water, and the Land of Grass.

"I haven't been back for a long time. Why does it feel like the door has been changed? I remember... this door was not this color before."

Tsunade murmured to herself.

Shizune, who was holding the pink dolphin in her arms, silently interjected: "Tsunade-sama, it was a long, long time ago that you last returned to Konoha... It has been almost eight years, right? And the last time you came back , I still came back to borrow money to pay off the debt."

"Ahem!" Tsunade coughed, but she didn't feel embarrassed because she was already thick-skinned enough: "Go in, I hope that old man is still in Konoha Village."

During this time, Tsunade wasn't just wandering around on the road.

She has actually been thinking about how to restore Whitebeard's special body to its healthiest state?

She made a lot of related medical conjectures.

He refutes his own conjectures again and again, and comes up with new conjectures again and again.

Eventually she settled on three treatment plans.

This is also the ultimate treatment option!

If one can choose the most suitable treatment plan and the treatment is successful... it will allow Whitebeard's body to return to its peak state.

Tsunade was a medical ninja after all.

Although she has long since stopped getting involved in ninja affairs, Tsunade is still very interested in special patients with difficult and complicated diseases.

"Patients" like Whitebeard.

Making it difficult for her to resist the temptation.

Anyway... Whitebeard is a pirate, not a ninja.

Well, that’s right!

Nothing wrong!

"Let's disguise ourselves. I don't want to meet a few other old men. Those guys are very annoying. Every time they want me to stay in Konoha Village for the rest of my life, they talk about the will of fire. It makes my ears ring. They’re all out.”

After Tsunade said something to Shizune, there was a "bang" and her whole body shrank a lot.

From the image of an intellectually mature royal sister.

She turned into a little girl in her early ten years.

From a big mind to a flat river.

Quite a girl's youthful atmosphere.

"Transformation!" Shizune had no choice but to obey, and she turned into an ordinary-looking girl. There was no memory of her appearance, and no one would take a second look on the street.

"Let's go! Go back to the village!" Tsunade, who turned into a girl, walked struttingly at the front, her two ponytails swaying behind her.

"You two!" The two elite chunin guarding the gate of Konoha immediately stopped Tsunade and Shizune: "Who are you? Where are you from? What are you going to do when you enter Konoha?"

When Shizune was about to explain.

Tsunade suddenly clapped her hands together.

"Ninjutsu: Phantom Moon Mirror Technique!"

The genjutsu released by one of the dignified three ninjas, even if she is not particularly proficient in genjutsu, is still more than enough to deal with two chuunin.

The two Konoha chunin had dull expressions on the spot.

It took him a second to recover.

"Huh?" Tsunade and Shizune were clearly standing in front of them, but they were looking around as if they couldn't see anything: "Where are they? Where were the two little girls just now?"

Shizune was stunned.

Tsunade smiled slyly and felt a little proud: "That bad old man, the two gatekeepers he arranged are not very good! Any ninja can sneak in."

"...That's because Tsunade-sama, you are one of the three ninjas!"

Shizune, who was holding Dodo in her arms, complained rather helplessly: "Obviously we just need to explain..."

"Do not worry!"

Tsunade looked carefree and said: "Anyway, this illusion will not cause any harm to them."

The two masters and apprentices walked into Konoha struttingly.

"Shizune, go find out where Whitebeard is. After finally returning to the village, I'll go take a look around."

Looking at Konoha in front of her, Tsunade felt a little emotional.

Konoha has become somewhat different from what she remembered.

But it's normal, after all, I've been gone for so long.

"Oh!" Shizune was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly thought of something, and quickly reminded Tsunade: "Tsunade-sama, we only have fifty thousand taels left. This is what we use for food, drink, housing and transportation these days. Money, can’t you...eh? Tsunade-sama? Ah...ah, where is this...person?"

Shizune was about to remind Tsunade never to go to Konoha's casino.

When she turned around, she found that Tsunade-sama was missing.

Shizune's expression suddenly changed and she hurriedly reached for her wallet.

It was discovered that the wallet was missing.

"Tsunade-sama!!!"

…

"Hehehehehe..." Tsunade played with the wallet in her hand: "I'm a little hungry. Let's eat something to fill my stomach first. Then, use the remaining money to get back to my original self! I must give me Win back all the money you lost outside!”

Although she has not returned to Konoha for many years, Tsunade knows the locations of the casinos in Konoha Village very well.

If she closed her eyes, she might not be able to return to her former home in Konoha, but she would definitely be able to find every casino accurately.

Tsunade thought about it and decided to go to the Akimichi clan's barbecue restaurant.

She walked through the streets of Konoha with light steps.

I discovered that something seemed to have happened to Konoha recently.

"There are many cracks on the ground... There are also cracks on some buildings." Tsunade muttered suspiciously: "Is there an earthquake?"

But Tsunade didn't think too much about it.

The residential areas of Konoha are not large.

It didn't take long.

Tsunade arrived at her destination.

"Ha! It's still the same decoration as I remember!" The familiar Akimichi clan's barbecue restaurant came into view. I don't know what memories were brought back to Tsunade. The smile on her face faded slightly and she touched the pendant around her neck.

"Huh..." Tsunade exhaled softly as she brushed away the bad memories.

Just as he was about to walk in, he suddenly heard movement behind him, like something heavy being knocked to the ground.

It seemed as if the ground was shaking slightly.

Tsunade looked back in surprise. First she saw the iron lump rising and falling together, and then she realized that someone was carrying the huge iron lump.

A very familiar face made Tsunade's pupils shrink slightly.

"Rope...rope tree?!"

Wait, that’s not right!

"Naruto?"

…
