He had great strength, but no technique.

He was fast, but could he outrun Space-Time Ninjutsu?

"So, after I return to the village this time, I have to learn a powerful Ninjutsu."

"Preferably one with immense power, a wide range, and extraordinary destructive force!"

Whenever he thought about being chased by dozens of people, Hankuang found it unbearable.

If he hadn't run out of Explosive Tags, he would have blown that whole group to pieces no matter what.

Chapter Seventeen: Hankuang, How Could He Still Be Alive?

Training Ground No. 4.

Hankuang looked at the stone before him, deep in thought.

He could understand the lunchbox and the beautiful woman's photograph, but why the hell was his own name carved into the stone?

"You really didn't die?"

Obito touched Hankuang's body, both pleasantly surprised and unable to believe it.

"Are you disgusting or what?"

Hankuang shoved Obito away, getting goosebumps all over.

You're a man. What's the meaning of touching me?

"Hankuang!"

Rin's face was filled with delight as she ran over.

She had wanted to give him a friendly hug, but Kakashi cut her off by getting there first.

"How did you shake off the pursuers?"

Kakashi stared at Hankuang, equally shocked.

With so many Chunins chasing him, Kakashi thought that even he would have a hard time getting away.

"I brought more than three hundred Explosive Tags."

Hankuang replied calmly, striking the pose of an invincible powerhouse.

More than three hundred Explosive Tags?

Kakashi was dumbfounded.

On a B-rank mission, you actually brought that many Explosive Tags?

"You took a huge loss, then. The reward for this mission was only enough to buy you a dozen or so Explosive Tags."

Obito added this, feeling that Hankuang had suffered a massive loss this time.

No one brought that many Explosive Tags on a B-rank mission, because the cost and returns simply didn't add up.

Of course, wealthy people were an exception.

"By the way, Hankuang, did you know that you've been included in a textbook?"

Obito delivered some good news.

"A textbook? What kind of textbook?" Hankuang asked suspiciously.

"The Ninja Academy textbook, of course."

Bookstore.

After buying a student-level textbook that had only been published yesterday, Hankuang opened it.

The first page displayed a slogan printed in bright red characters.

[Unity! Diligence! Selflessness! Dedication!] --The strongest Third Hokage.

Expressionless, he flipped past the page and began searching for anything about himself.

Half an hour later.

After nearly flipping through the entire textbook, Hankuang finally found a description of himself.

[Only by possessing an unwavering *Will of Fire* can one unleash immense power.] [For example: Hankuang, the worst graduate in the history of our village.] [At a critical moment for his team, he single-handedly lured away dozens of Chunins, providing tremendous assistance in completing the mission.] [He sacrificed himself and demonstrated the meaning of the Will of Fire!]

Smack!

Hankuang closed the textbook and walked out of the bookstore.

As soon as he stepped onto the street, he saw a handsome young ninja smiling at him.

"Teacher Minato?"

"Hankuang, I just got back and heard what happened to you." Minato Namikaze smiled as he spoke.

The street wasn't a good place for a conversation, so the two of them went to Minato's residence.

"I heard from Kakashi that you brought a lot of Explosive Tags on this mission?"

As soon as he sat down, Minato brought up the subject again.

"Yes."

"You couldn't have escaped the pursuit of dozens of Chunins with Explosive Tags alone." Minato Namikaze's words were meaningful.

"My speed is relatively good." Hankuang thought for a moment before giving that answer.

Speed?

"No wonder."

Minato nodded.

Because what Hankuang had said matched his own judgment.

To escape from so many Chunins, speed was the most important factor.

"You did very well this time. Did you know that as soon as I returned, Kushina kept praising you?"

"She rarely praises anyone."

After Teacher Minato put it that way, Hankuang's face turned bashful, and he felt a little embarrassed.

After all, he had originally just been running away, but unfortunately, he had been discovered right after descending the mountain.

With no other choice, he had used Explosive Tags to force back the nearby enemies and sprinted away as fast as his legs could carry him.

Then, somehow, he had been written into a textbook.

Afterward.

Hankuang began asking Minato Namikaze for advice on cultivation.

"Teacher, is there a Ninjutsu with tremendous power and a very wide range?"

"There are many."

Minato glanced at Hankuang in surprise and continued.

"Unfortunately, you can't learn any of them."

"Oh." Hankuang was a little disappointed.

Minato, however, was quite relieved. The fact that Hankuang could ask such a question meant that he wanted to learn Ninjutsu.

Unfortunately.

Hankuang's Chakra had no nature attribute.

Moreover, Minato's own natureless Ninjutsu was still under development and had not yet been completed.

After bidding farewell to Teacher Minato, Hankuang returned home.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he felt the comfort of home. He promptly lay down in a chair.

Train?

Train what?

How comfortable it was to lie down.

He had previously been thinking about learning a Ninjutsu, but the moment he lay down in the chair, that thought was cast straight out of his mind.

Hokage's Office.

After finishing reviewing the documents, Hiruzen Sarutobi stretched his stiff arms.
