Xiao Li was trembling all over at this time, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
He didn't expect Natsuki to be able to open the Third Gate already, and judging by Natsuki's relaxed appearance, he might be able to open the later gates as well.
As expected, Teacher Kai's Eight Gates is the strongest, and he has learned Teacher Kai's moves, he will definitely be able to prove his dream in the future, and become a powerful Ninja even if he can't use Ninjutsu!
"Hahaha! This is youth! Since that's the case, I'll join in, Eight Gates, The Gate of Life, open!"
Buzz! Kai's whole body was also covered by Chakra airflow, and then he instantly disappeared from where he was.
Natsuki also disappeared, and only two afterimages were seen flying rapidly in the air. Each collision was like a muffled thunderclap, and the airflow generated was almost enough to blow away large trees.
However, it was only a sparring match after all, and some powerful moves would not be used.
Even the Front Lotus, Kai didn't use it, he just relied on the speed and strength of the Third Gate to fight Natsuki with punches and kicks, but even so, it gave everyone a strong shock.
Half an hour later, the two stopped, both a little out of breath.
Kai wiped his sweat with satisfaction, revealing his bright white teeth: "What a youthful contest! Natsuki, your application of the Eight Gates is already very proficient, I have to say your talent is really good."
Natsuki, while accepting Tenten's help to wipe his sweat, said humbly: "It's still far from defeating Teacher Kai, I still have to continue to work hard."
"Haha! You're still far from defeating Konoha's 477 Green Beast!"
"No, no, I think it's fast!"
"Oh ho! Young man, it's good to have ambition, but you can't talk big. Alright, when you defeat me someday, I'll give you a set of my treasured tight clothes!"
"Absolutely not!"
Tenten couldn't help but interrupt, "Teacher Kai, Natsuki doesn't want tight clothes! My boyfriend can't become a Kappa!"
Xiao Li was immediately dissatisfied: "What nonsense are you talking about, Tenten! This is a symbol of youth, not a Kappa! Are you even Teacher Kai's student?"
"Anyway, I don't like it, and I won't let Natsuki be assimilated by you!"
"Only by being assimilated by us can you truly become strong! Teacher Kai is the strongest, and becoming like Teacher Kai can also become the strongest!"
"Ah ah ah! Anyway, I just don't want it!"
The two argued incessantly, and everyone couldn't stop laughing for a while.
After the match ended, they naturally had a good meal. Tenten, the little rich woman, generously treated everyone and took them to BBQ Q for a feast, which made everyone very happy.
During the meal, Xiao Li accidentally drank a glass of wine, which scared Natsuki so much that he quickly threw him onto the street.
Just as everyone was wondering, they saw Xiao Li acting drunk and actually started fighting with Drunken Fist, and he was surprisingly good at it.
Fortunately, Natsuki threw him out of the BBQ Q in time, otherwise Xiao Li would have probably torn down the restaurant after a few moves, and they would have to pay for it for nothing. Even if Tenten's family was rich, they shouldn't waste money like that, right?
"Xiao Li's Drunken Fist is not bad, it's fine to fight Chunin, the problem is he might not even know it himself." Neji couldn't help but comment.
"Yeah, it's a shame his alcohol tolerance is too poor, he got so drunk after only one glass, it's probably very difficult to get him to develop Drunken Fist. Forget it, don't think about it, if he learns Drunken Fist, he'll probably tear down Konoha!"
Kai decisively gave up on this idea. People with poor alcohol tolerance shouldn't learn Drunken Fist, because they're not even conscious, no matter how good their boxing is, it's useless.
After a farce, Xiao Li was sent home by Kai, and everyone else went their separate ways.
Natsuki and Tenten were not in a hurry to go home either, they walked hand in hand on the street, it was rare that neither of them had a mission, so they had a date together and relaxed.
However, they didn't expect to run into Team Seven who were bored and playing cards while strolling around.
Naruto was still very addicted to cards, insisting on pulling Sasuke and Sakura to play cards, and the two of them had no choice but to agree, and playing cards was actually quite interesting.
It was just that Naruto's card skills were terrible, often making the two of them so angry they would curse loudly.
"Yo! The three of you are quite free!" Natsuki greeted them.
"Huh! Natsuki and Tenten? Are you two... Oh, you must be on a date!" Sakura looked at the two holding hands and strolling, her face full of envy.
How great it would be if she could also hold hands with Sasuke and go shopping on a date, but Sasuke seemed to have no interest in dating, which made her very troubled.
But perhaps she had never thought, how could someone burdened by a deep blood feud possibly have the mind to date?
She completely couldn't understand Sasuke's feelings; it would be strange if Sasuke liked her!
"Natsuki! Tenten! Want to play cards with us?" Naruto called out.
"Forget about playing cards."
Natsuki flatly refused, "Speaking of which, why are you guys just idling here? No missions lately? Where is Kakashi-senpai?"
Upon hearing this, Naruto immediately became smug: "Hehe, Natsuki, you probably don't know, but we just got back from an outside-the-Village mission! This time, we completed a B-rank mission, believe it!"
"B-rank? Impossible! Lord Hokage couldn't possibly assign such a high-level mission to newly graduated Ninja!" Tenten was the first not to believe it.
"It's really true, believe it! Let me tell you, this mission we went to the Land of Waves..."
Here it comes, the Land of Waves mission!
After Naruto's scattered narration, Natsuki also roughly understood. It seemed similar to the original story; even though all members of Team Seven learned tree-climbing and water-walking early, their strength didn't increase much, and the situation didn't change at all after encountering Zabuza and Bai.
Zabuza and Bai still died together in the end.
What a pity, you know many people followed Hokage because they saw the story of these two.
Naruto's talk-no-jutsu didn't work. Bai lived only for Zabuza and died for Zabuza, and only after Bai died did Zabuza realize that he had long been unable to leave Bai.
Tenten was quite moved after listening and didn't know what to say for a while.
Natsuki, on the other hand, sighed: "What a tragic and beautiful love story, it's truly a pity for this couple!"
Huh? Love story? Couple?
The three members of Team Seven were a bit stunned. Sakura weakly raised her hand and explained: "Xia, Natsuki, although the boy named Bai is very cute, he's a guy, and he and Zabuza are not in a romantic relationship."
Naruto and Sasuke nodded in agreement, meaning Natsuki had misunderstood.
Natsuki, however, had a look of course: "You guys, why don't you understand? Although the boy named Bai said he was a guy, he never said Zabuza wasn't a girl!"
Ah? Can you understand it that way?!
So, Momochi Zabuza is a girl?!
"Moreover, who told you two guys can't date? Just like Naruto and Sasuke, didn't you two give your first kiss to each other?"
"Natsuki, shut up! Don't mention that!"
Naruto and Sasuke were furious, wishing they could rush up and choke Natsuki to shut him up, while Sakura was in disarray remembering that moment.
Sakura: So, Naruto and Sasuke are actually in love? Am I the third wheel?
