168. Luffy's Creativeness

Izumi glanced at Neji and Lee. Then, he called Luffy.

"Hey Luffy, fight against both of them! Or else, I won't create a robot for you."

"Eh, that's not fair, Izumi!"

"Then, beat them if you want me not to break my promise!"

When Neji and Lee heard that, they were furious.

"Lee, fight against that straw hat. I'll kill that guy called Izumi."

"But, Neji-san…"

"Do as I say!"

Since Neji already decided, he immediately rushed to Luffy to attack.

When Lee suddenly attacked, Luffy was a little off guard. He couldn't anticipate Lee's kick which was aimed at his head. Luffy flew and hit the big tree behind him.

"Auch" Luffy rubbed the back of his head then stood up.

Lee didn't stop there. He moved quickly towards Luffy.

"Konoha Senpu."

He started off with a high kick with his left foot, then quickly used his right foot for a low kick that knocked Luffy off balance. After that Lee kicked Luffy which threw him upward.

"Konoha Daisenpu." Lee continued with a series of kicks starting with a low kick, a mid kick, and a high kick, then Luffy was thrown into the air. When Lee wanted to launch a finishing blow with a heel drop kick, Luffy reacted.

"Tsuchi no Jutsu." Luffy stretched out his arms while twisting them, and then caught and hold Lee so tightly. Luffy then untwisted his arms, and rapidly spun Lee, while bringing him crashing to the ground.

*bang*

Lee couldn't do anything about it when Luffy caught him which resulted in him being slammed to the ground.

"Guahh."

Lee felt pain in his body. Luffy's slam from the air was really no joke, even though Luffy didn't take it seriously.

Neji was about to attack Izumi. But, seeing how Lee was slammed to the ground while Lee was using his technique, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Neji couldn't leave Lee alone. Having no other choice, he decided to finish off Luffy first.

"Juukenhou: Hakke Rokujuuyon Shou."

Using his Byakugan near his 360° field of vision, Neji envisioned in the center the Eight Trigrams symbol. Neji then dealt a series of attacks to Luffy who was within the symbol boundary, attacking sixty-four chakra flow point locations. Not only to stop the flow of chakra, but this attack could also injure a person's internal organs when hit by the attack.

"Hakke Hyaku Nijuuhasshou."

Neji intended to duplicate the attack that was launched earlier for a total of 128 attacks.

Unfortunately for Neji, Luffy's entire body down to his internal organs could be turned into stretchy rubber. So even if Neji duplicated the same attack, it would be useless. This could be proven when Luffy inhaled a large volume of air and stored the air in his lungs so that his body could inflate like a balloon. Not only that, Luffy could eat so much because his stomach could be stretched, this also allowed him to store more energy since he digested more food.

"Tackle no Jutsu."

With Luffy's excellent fighting instincts, he noticed that Neji was only using his hands to attack, and his legs were wide open unguarded. Thus, Luffy deftly stuck out his right leg to attack Neji's leg to stop his attack.

Neji lost his balance and fell to the ground. His attack stopped instantly.

Luffy ran behind Neji, then Luffy's arms extended and gripped tightly the big trees on his right and left. Luffy was still running away with each hand still gripping the tree.

"Slingshot no Jutsu."

Luffy turned himself into a catapult and hurtled towards Neji. When his hands had separated from the two trees, he used his hands in a cross as if to protect his head from the impact. Luffy crashed himself into Neji which made Neji also flung himself into a big tree behind him.

After Luffy defeated Neji and Lee, he turned to Izumi and the others with a smile from ear to ear. He imitated a hand seal as he said.

"Nin-nin, nin-nin, hihihi."

On the other hand, Kuroneko looked impressed by Luffy's fighting style and said.

"Miyamura, doesn't it look like he just used two new moves?"

Izumi nodded.

"Well, true. It was a move that didn't appear in the Anime. His fighting style is unpredictable. I didn't even think he had moves that he never showed. Even though he said "Jutsu". I can only say that he is really creative. Moreover, his unpredictable fighting style reminds me of a certain character." Izumi said while holding his chin as if he was thinking about something.

"Uh, who is it?" Kuroneko was a little curious about what he was thinking.

And what Izumi said after that was shocking.

"Majin Buu."

"Majin Buu? A demon who likes to fart?" The ninjas from Konohagakure didn't know who Majin Buu was, so they were confused.

"What, Majin Buu?"

"That Buu?"

"Hmm, unfortunately he couldn't split himself like what Majin Buu did."

Meanwhile, for Kuroneko, Hiiro, and Kazuma, the so-called Majin Buu was too familiar. Dragon Ball is a legendary anime, and many of them, especially anime lovers, have heard of or watched Dragon Ball.

"If you ignore Buu's strength and personality, doesn't their fighting style look similar? Buu and Luffy can also flex and stretch their entire body. Buu is a genius at imitating techniques at a glance, and Luffy is very creative with his techniques. Even their appetite is the same as well. Well, it's just, Buu is immortal." Izumi stated the differences and similarities between Luffy and Buu.

"I felt the same way. But maybe his strength can improve and become Majin Buu number two." Kazuma said.

Izumi held his chin.

"Hmmm, his Gear Second is to speed up his blood flow to provide more oxygen and nutrients. While his Gear Third is inflating his bone to increase his raw physical strength. Since his form can be upgraded, he might be similar to Majin Buu after his technique reached Gear Fifth, Gear Sixth, or even Gear Seventh. Well, who knows?"

"Actually, what the hell were you guys talking about? Who is Majin Buu? He sounds very dangerous." Choji was so curious after hearing Izumi's conversation. The other ninja from Konohagakure was also curious about Majin Buu as well.

Izumi glanced in Neji and Lee's direction. Apparently, Tenten, who was only slightly injured, was taking care of them. Weirdly, the other ninjas from Konohagakure didn't try to help them. Izumi wanted to know the reason, and Shikamaru explained that it was because of Neji's attitude.

"I see."

"More importantly, can you tell me who Majin Buu is?"

Izumi felt that there was nothing wrong with telling that story since Majin Buu didn't exist in the shinobi world. At the very least, it would make them realize that there was something even more terrifying that they didn't know about.

"Hmm, how do I explain it? Anyway, it might be unbelievable for you. And it's up to you whether you believe me or not. Majin Buu is a creature that existed since time immemorial. He cycled between rampages and long hibernation. During those times, Majin Buu continued to absorb evil elements from humans, making him more vicious over time. I'm not sure if he lives on this planet or not since he is still sealed. If Majin Buu is unsealed, he will be looking for the strongest person in the universe to kill. Before he rampages by destroying planets in his sight."

Everyone shivered. Although Izumi's story seemed unreal, his expression was telling the truth. Izumi wasn't sure if the Dragon Ball universe existed or not. Well, it didn't matter to him anyway.

"Eh, wasn't Bibidi the one who created Buu? How did it get to a time immemorial?" Kazuma was confused. In the anime, it was said that Bibidi created Buu.

Izumi shook his head.

"Bibidi only claimed that he had created Majin Buu after awakening Buu from his long hibernation. In fact, Buu had existed millions of years before."

Everyone from Konohagakure village was shocked by Majin Buu's age after hearing from Izumi. The curious Shikamaru asked.

"How did you know that creature had existed since time immemorial? This doesn't make any sense."

"Historical sites, ancient ruins. You can get knowledge from something like that. Enough talk about Majin Buu. As for his real strength, I'm afraid that you guys won't be able to sleep if I say so. Most importantly, increase your strength to face the unexpected that could happen in the future. Even though your days seem peaceful, you don't know when this peace will last."

Shikamaru knitted his brow.

"You mean this peace is only temporary? Will there be war?"

"Do you believe there will be eternal peace if all of you still learn Ninjutsu? If you want eternal peace, the grave is the place."

Everyone twitched after hearing Izumi's reply. But, what he said wasn't wrong. Ninjutsu is not just a skill, but also a tool for killing. They knew it pretty well.

Luffy who defeated Neji and Lee approached Izumi while saying.

"Izumi, you promised right, you want to create a robot for me, right? You're not lying, right?"

"Yeah, yeah, I know. When we get back, I'll make one for you."

"Yahooo."

Luffy looked overjoyed because he got a promise from Izumi.

When Izumi wanted to say something, he felt the auras that had been lurking behind begin to move.

One of them headed for Naruto, another for Kuroneko, and the last one for Sakura.

The three of them probably knew that Izumi and Luffy were too strong, so they shifted their target a little further away from Izumi and closer to them. They are a trio from Otogakure village, Dosu, Zaku, and Kin.

Izumi knew that they might be ordered by Orochimaru to kill Sasuke. But since they saw that there was someone strong, they changed plans.
