Undercurrent of Konoha

Heiji jumped quickly on the treetops, as if there was a fire burning in his heart.

The first chakra fruit gave him a chakra level slightly higher than that of ordinary genin.

The second chakra fruit gave him a clear advantage in terms of speed and strength when facing off against elite genin like Uchiha Sasuke.

The third chakra fruit seems to have some qualitative changes caused by quantitative changes.

The abnormal speed of chakra production can already allow Heiji to ignore minor injuries suffered in battle, because the wounds can be healed by the rapidly generated chakra, without having to worry about running out of chakra.

The most commendable thing is that Heiji clearly felt that the texture of chakra in his meridians had also slightly changed, becoming more solid and thicker.

After the texture of chakra is improved, both the strength, speed and destructive power of the body, as well as the effect and time of healing wounds, have been improved to a certain extent.

In the system interface, Heiji's title suddenly changed to "Rebel Ninja Hunter (Junior st Stage)".

Title bonus: chakra amount gain by 8%; chakra texture gain by 5%.

"Heiji, why did you suddenly become so powerful...have you been hiding your strength?"

Inuzuka Kiba asked reluctantly as he followed Heiji.

"I work hard every day to practice...this should be the result of my practice..."

Squat 1000 times a day...

1000 push-ups with one hand...

1000 one-handed pull-ups...

Run 10000 meters with your legs high...

And all kinds of extravagant exercises...

Inuzuka Kiba had always seen these hell-level physical trainings, but he had always scorned them.

He has always believed that taijutsu is just one of the most basic abilities of ninjas. It only provides certain auxiliary functions for powerful ninjutsu, nothing more.

Who would have thought that when physical training reaches a certain level, it would play such an amazing role in battle.

"It seems that starting from tomorrow, I will have to work hard to practice my physical skills!"

(In fact, after Inuzuka Kiba persisted for a month after the incident, he found that it was not at all what he imagined. His level of physical skills could not be improved, so he had no choice but to give up and concentrate on practicing the ninjutsu passed down by the Inuzuka clan. .)

The other side of the forest.

Haruno Sakura, who had lost the "Book of Heaven", had stopped wailing helplessly and looked at Uchiha Sasuke lying on the ground with a determined expression.

A wet white towel was placed on Sasuke's forehead.

I don't know when Sasuke started to have a fever. His whole body was very hot. His usually handsome and cold face became particularly ferocious and painful, and he kept mumbling to himself.

"Revenge...kill...that...man..."

Uzumaki Naruto was lying next to Sasuke. Although he was unconscious, his face was calm and there were no obvious injuries on his body.

In the battle with Orochimaru, Naruto went berserk again. The scarlet evil chakra made him extremely powerful, with amazing fighting ability, and his injuries would heal quickly.

However, after Orochimaru formed the seal, he hit Naruto in the lower abdomen with his palm. Not only did the red chakra in his body disappear instantly, he also fell into a coma and has not woken up until now.

Her teeth were clenched tightly, Haruno Sakura's eyes had never been as determined as they are now, and there was only one belief in her heart.

"I must... I must protect them..."

However, three evil figures are observing Haruno Sakura in the dark, like three despicable and cruel hyenas, waiting for the opportunity to jump out at any time, tearing the seriously injured and dying prey into pieces, even biting the bones into dregs and swallowing them Go into the stomach.

"Can we take action now..."

One of the black shadows was already a little bit ready to move.

"According to Orochimaru-sama's instructions, we can't start until daybreak!"

Another cold voice immediately gave up the thought of the black shadow that was eager to attack.

"The target is Uchiha Sasuke... If the remaining two people dare to get in the way... kill them both!"

……

The first ray of sunshine in the morning shines warmly on the treetops.

The haze in Haruno Sakura's heart was instantly healed by the sunshine, and her mood became lighter.

One night, she neither closed her eyes nor sat there stupidly.

In order to protect the two companions around her, she believed that she could not sit still and wait for death, but must do something.

In fact, she also achieved the limit of what she could achieve.

The three shadows that had endured all night came as promised and appeared in front of Haruno Sakura, grinning and looking fierce, like three hyenas getting ready for hunting.

call out--!

Haruno Sakura flicked her wrist and cut the thin line beside her with her shuriken.

A giant tree as thick and heavy as a wall suddenly fell from the sky and hit the three Sound Nin genin under the tree with great precision.

Three people jumped high at the same time. One of them, a ninja with long silver hair like a porcupine, formed a seal with one hand on his left hand. The right arm he stretched out turned out to be a metal arm full of holes.

"boom--!"

A harsh roar sounded like an explosion, and the giant tree that was about to hit the three people was shattered to pieces in the roar.

Seeing that the trap carefully laid out all night was so easily cracked by the enemy, Haruno Sakura's eyes were already filled with helpless tears, and she turned into a lamb that had lost the ability to resist and was killed at the first glance.

"Konoha Whirlwind——!"

A green figure suddenly appeared above the three sound ninjas, and kicked the three of them to the ground with a powerful whirlwind kick.

"I am the beautiful blue beast of Konoha Village... Rock Lee! If you guys want to bully the lovely Sakura-chan, I will never agree!"

Haruno Sakura's legs weakened and she knelt on the ground, looking in disbelief at the boy in front of her who was wearing a green ninja uniform, had a pot head, and thick eyebrows.

He was the one who snatched away the "Book of Heaven" from his group, and now he suddenly appears in front of him, playing the role of a heroic patron saint who saves the beautiful. It is really unpredictable...

"Sakura-chan... I said... I just borrowed your 'Book of Heaven' for a while... Now, I have found an opportunity to return it to you!"

Haruno Sakura seemed to understand something, and said with some worry: "Thank you... However, the three of them are very powerful... and they have the advantage in numbers... You have to be careful..."

"An annoying guy has appeared...Oh, there's nothing we can do...Sak...I'll leave Sasuke to you."

The white-haired ninja casually threw the "Book of Earth" to a black-haired ninja named "Sark" behind him, and then put on an offensive posture, looking directly at Rock Lee in front of him with a sinister look.

"I'll take care of these annoying things!"
