Naruto, Peak Human, Ch 6.2

Li Zhenwu opened his eyes, shifting his focus away from the system, and felt a slight shiver as he left a faint shadow behind in the spot where he had been standing.

Although Afterimage Technique relied on rapid movement to create images, it still required a unique technique. The knowledge of this technique appeared in his mind as soon as the system informed him he had learned it, allowing him to grasp it directly.

After practicing in his room for a while, Li Zhenwu was able to create a phantom image of himself but was soon dripping with sweat and satisfied enough to stop and step outside.

With a new martial skill in hand, it was time to complete his task.

The task required him to find a ninja within three days and engage in a full-out battle.

For the past two and a half days, Li Zhenwu had been training vigorously, hoping that the upcoming lottery would yield a prize to enhance his combat abilities.

Now that he had received his prize, it was time to fulfill the mission.

As he stepped outside, he noticed that night had fallen. Unbeknownst to him, several hours had passed during his practice of Afterimage Technique.

"Hmm, the system's task is simply to engage in battle with a ninja; it doesn't specify whether it's a beginner or intermediate ninja. Therefore, I surely have to look for a beginner ninja!"

Li Zhenwu stepped outside his home, his tail swaying as he pondered, "Additionally, I should target a civilian ninja, avoiding those from important clans, as they could pose a tougher challenge."

As Li Zhenwu walked, he quickly settled on his target.

He aimed to challenge a civilian beginner ninja!

Li Zhenwu shook his body, thought for a moment, and changed direction, heading towards areas where ninjas frequently gathered to find someone to challenge.

In Konoha, once night fell, most villagers stayed indoors, adhering to the pattern of working from dawn until dusk.

Thus, Li Zhenwu's solitary presence in the street was quite conspicuous.

Passing through an area of houses, he glanced around but soon lost interest and continued walking. 

This neighborhood belonged to the Hyuga clan, filled with people possessing the Byakugan. 

Despite the many ninjas, Li Zhenwu didn't want to consider them as targets; after all, the Hyuga clan's Byakugan was not to be taken lightly.

In the darkness, a few pairs of eyes lurked in concealment.

"Hey, look at that little brat. Isn't he interesting?"

"The little brat with a tail? I get it; he's the Konoha monster, said to have been born with a tail."

"Moreover, according to intelligence, even if this little brat loses his tail, it grows back; he has a unique physique."

"What if we just take this little brat along?"

"I think that's a good idea. Our main target is Hinata Hyuga, but having another Konoha monster isn't a bad thing either."

"Yunshui, you'll handle this little brat and knock him out discreetly."

"Leave it to me!"
