Feeling that Guy’s combat power had more than doubled after opening the gates, Ajie was quite excited.
“Hey, how many times can you open that move?” Ajie asked after kicking Guy away with a Scorpion Kick.
“Why do you ask?” The guy became a bit wary. As a ninja, he was cautious about leaking information.
“I want to experience your full power!” Ajie said very seriously, looking at Guy.
Ajie could easily deduce from their earlier exchange that Guy’s move was a percentage-based enhancement skill that would grow stronger as the fight progressed. He was eager to witness it.
Guy shook his head, glanced at the setting sun, and dropped his attack stance, “That’s a power I can only use at special times. Now is not the time!”
Ajie blinked and also withdrew his aura, “I see. Well, forget it then. This fight was exhilarating. Do you want to grab a meal together?”
“No thanks,” Guy said, “I need to check on my student.”
“Student? Where? Take me with you,” Ajie followed Guy and asked.
“At the hospital.” Having calmed down, Guy began to think of ways other than finding Tsunade to help Rock Lee.
“Oh, I see. Your student must be seriously injured then,” Ajie rubbed his chin, “No wonder you seemed a bit upset earlier.”
“Sigh…” Guy sighed. It wasn’t just a severe injury; Lee might never be able to be a ninja again.
“Don’t sigh. Maybe I can help you,” Ajie patted Guy’s shoulder.
“Thank you,” Guy smiled, not taking Ajie’s words to heart.
“Hey, give me one of your shuriken,” Ajie suddenly said.
“What?”
“You don’t believe me, right? Give me one, and I’ll show you.”
“Okay.” Guy blinked, pulled a shuriken from his ninja tool pouch, and handed it to Ajie.
Ajie raised the shuriken and plunged it heavily into his arm.
Ding! The shuriken broke into two halves, and only a white mark appeared on Ajie’s arm.
This was embarrassing, holding half a shuriken. Ajie was a bit sheepish.
Nearby, Guy was shocked. Despite their reciprocal fight, Guy admitted that he couldn’t withstand a blade with his body without using chakra.
“Got anything sharper? Lend it to me to try?” Ajie continued to ask.
“No need.” Seeing Ajie was like seeing hope; Ajie had already indirectly confirmed his abilities, and perhaps Rock Lee had a chance.
“Come with me!” Guy said, leaping onto a rooftop and leading them towards the hospital.
Just then, Ajie’s mission panel lit up with a faction choice, completing the conditions to join the Konoha faction…
Elsewhere, Alice wasn’t as lucky as Ajie.
She had walked around the streets for half a day, didn’t discover any valuable information, nor did any robbers appear that would allow her to showcase her abilities.
The only conflict was being bumped by a man in black, who immediately apologized.
Although there was no progress, Alice was thrilled; a world without zombies is simply too excellent. It felt like she had returned to her youth, though she wasn’t old.
Every small shop caught her eye; if not for the mission pressing her, Alice could easily stroll around for at least a month.
Taking a few more steps, Alice suddenly saw a sign for a hot spring.
“Hmm… Maybe I can overhear some news while soaking in the hot springs.” Alice smiled slightly, finding a reason to head that way.
Just reaching the entrance of the hot spring bathhouse, Alice saw three men standing afar, one even outside the women’s bathhouse.
Upon closer inspection, Alice recognized the man in black as the one who bumped into her earlier. Indeed, perverts exist in every world.
“Shameless!” Alice shouted.
Hearing the noise, Ebisu turned around, realizing a woman had caught him at the entrance of the women’s bathhouse.
“It’s not what you think…” Ebisu frantically waved his hands, trying to explain.
“Tsk, two big perverts,” Naruto scoffed at the two adults beside him, only interested in Sakura, unlike these adults.
“Enough talk! Ready to get beaten for doing such perverted things?” Alice clenched her fists and walked towards Ebisu.
“Miss… Miss… don’t be rash, calm down, calm down…” Ebisu frantically backed away.
Although it was a misunderstanding, being caught at the entrance to the women’s bathhouse was inexcusable.
Boom! Alice threw an uppercut at Ebisu.
Ebisu didn’t think to dodge; perhaps he hadn’t expected such strength from a girl.
After flying several meters, Ebisu crashed to the ground and then fainted.
“These girls are still so fierce. I just like
that… hehe…” Jiraiya watched Alice with a lascivious smile.
“It’s your turn!” Alice turned her head towards Jiraiya, “At your age, still so unscrupulous!”
“Cough cough.” Jiraiya coughed twice, “Miss, don’t misunderstand. I’m just gathering material.”
“Material?”
“I’m a writer. This is my book,” Jiraiya proudly said, showing off Icha Icha Paradise.
Seeing the cover, Alice’s face darkened instantly, thinking of her image appearing in the book and being widely distributed.
“Go to hell!” Alice kicked at Jiraiya.
Jiraiya’s sitting frog jumped forcefully, dodging the attack, “Sorry, miss, goodbye!”
Goodbye? Alice stretched out her hand towards Jiraiya, then swung down forcefully, her telekinesis pulling Jiraiya down from the sky.
Jiraiya’s hair shook as he freed himself from the telekinetic hold.
After a flip, landing steadily on the ground, Jiraiya looked at Alice, now cautious.
“No hand seals, a Kekkei Genkai?!”
“Miss, who are you?” Jiraiya looked at Alice and asked.
“Who? The person who’s going to beat up this pervert!” Alice paused for two seconds before speaking out, having just detected some of Jiraiya’s information.
“Big sister, pervert uncle, stop fighting. You knocked out my teacher. What about my training?!” Naruto jumped out from the side, pointing at the two people.
“Training?” Alice was a bit puzzled.
“Yeah, water-walking practice,” Naruto pointed to the unconscious Ebisu on the ground and then to the nearby external hot spring pond, “That’s my teacher.”
Alice glanced at the unconscious Ebisu, embarrassed; she seemed more impulsive since escaping the zombie world.
“I’ll be your teacher,” Jiraiya seized the opportunity to jump up, picking up Ebisu and Naruto, watching Alice cautiously.
“I don’t want that. I want my big sister to teach me. You couldn’t even beat her,” Naruto fussed in Jiraiya’s arms.
Alice reflected on her actions, then looked at Naruto, “Sorry for knocking out your teacher. If this pervert uncle doesn’t teach well, you can come to me anytime. I’ll discipline him for you; I’ve been here lately. My name is Alice.”
