Your Eyebrows Are Too Thick

"Did you two know each other before?" Naruto and Sasuke, walking through the gate, looked at Nanfeng with some confusion. His network of acquaintances was truly strange; he knew people like them?

"Yeah, they were injured and came to the hospital for treatment before. I handled their wounds, and after their recovery went well, we chatted for a while and got to know each other," Nanfeng didn't deny it. Anyway, relying on this temporary Medical Ninja identity, he had gained quite a bit of goodwill from Konoha ninjas.

"Mastering Medical Ninjutsu is indeed a great ability. It's a shame the control over Chakra required is so high, otherwise, I would want to learn this Ninjutsu!" Sasuke said, looking at Nanfeng's arm with a hint of envy.

The ninjutsu that most Medical Ninjas could master were only healing techniques and Chakra scalpels. As for abilities like the Mystical Palm Technique, they were rare as phoenix feathers in all of the Fire Shadow world.

Sasuke had tried practicing the Chakra scalpel. Although his Sharingan could easily copy the ninjutsu, his Chakra control was lacking.

Among the students of this generation, when it came to Chakra control, one was Nanfeng, and the other was Sakura.

Unfortunately, with Nanfeng's arrival, the former female protagonist had now become an unknown passerby somewhere. If he had time later, Nanfeng decided he would find an opportunity for Sakura to go to Konoha Hospital.

After all, it was a waste of good talent, and Nanfeng felt a bit guilty about it.

"But it's been so noisy here since a while ago..." Sasuke sighed, looking at Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka, who were constantly arguing beside him. He truly couldn't understand why girls at this age, instead of focusing on cultivation, were always thinking about romance. Wasn't that troublesome?

Oh no, is Sasuke starting to lean towards Shikamaru's way of thinking?

Watching the two girls, who couldn't determine a winner anytime soon, Sasuke helplessly took out his earplugs. If he couldn't hear them, he wouldn't be bothered for the time being. This ostrich mentality was something he had learned from his sparring and training with Nanfeng over the years.

Nanfeng's combat power was astonishing, and his mouth was even more unbearable than Naruto's. Naruto was just a bit verbose at most; this guy could strike right at the heart with every word.

"You're so weak, and you still want revenge? You can't even beat Naruto!"

"You're already unable to move after only training for this long? Even the eighty-year-old grandmothers near my house move faster than you!"

The constant mental assaults had trained Sasuke to reach a state of unflustered composure. However, this state was quickly interrupted by someone who suddenly appeared!

"Huh? This person's attire is a bit strange. I don't think I interacted much with people like this at the Ninja Academy before?" Sasuke sensed the movement around him and looked up, only to see Naruto and Nanfeng also staring with darkened expressions at a clown in a watermelon-patterned outfit in front of them.

"Who is this?" Sasuke subtly nudged Nanfeng's back with his elbow and asked. He was starting to pay more attention to relationships now; as long as there wasn't a deep-seated hatred, it was best to get acquainted first.

"A student from the previous batch. I've heard his story; he's someone who overcame genius through hard work. However, what he doesn't realize is that without his talent in Taijutsu, he would never have ended up on this path," Nanfeng said, shaking his head.

"Is that so? Then I know who this person is," Sasuke replied, shaking his head and indicating he was no longer interested.

Rock Lee. A ninja who couldn't control Chakra well and could only pursue pure Taijutsu training. Being able to participate in the Chunin Exams indicated his current strength.

"So why is this guy suddenly coming over? We don't seem to have any connection, do we?" Naruto's expression turned a bit strange as he watched Rock Lee suddenly approach. But when he turned to look at Nanfeng, he saw Nanfeng wearing a "watching a show" expression.

"It's nothing. I guess a very exciting show will be staged soon. We should just prepare to be the audience," Nanfeng said, pulling Naruto to sit aside, watching Rock Lee's next move with great interest.

This watermelon... no, Rock Lee ignored all of them and walked directly to Sakura, who was beside Sasuke. He gave a thumbs-up, revealing his signature gleaming white teeth and what he considered a very handsome smile.

"Sakura-chan, please go out with me! I will protect you with my life!" Rock Lee's words were like Garen's Last Whisper, silent yet critical!

Putting aside others' reactions, Sasuke, who was closest, naturally couldn't hold back. But his upbringing from a prominent clan told him not to laugh out loud at this moment, so Naruto and Nanfeng watched as Sasuke's face turned into that of a ripe lobster.

"No! Your eyebrows are just too thick!" Sakura screamed, rejecting Rock Lee's proposal. However, Rock Lee had no intention of giving up.

Nonsense. If he gave up that easily, he wouldn't have come this far on the path of Taijutsu training. Thus, he began using various poses to send flying kisses towards Sakura. In short, the scene was truly... something.

"I have to say, that move is indeed eye-searing... Huh? Naruto, why are you crying?" Nanfeng asked, rubbing his eyes as he looked at the tearful Naruto.

"It's nothing. It just reminded me of the time I was cutting onions. The situation was similar to what I'm seeing with Rock Lee's moves..." Naruto said, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes with some pain.

The constant rejection from the girl he loved finally made Rock Lee recognize the cruel reality. However, he quickly realized that the girl seemed to have someone she liked present, and that person happened to be standing not far from him.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Sasuke looked at the suddenly agitated Rock Lee with bewilderment. To hear them better, Sasuke even removed the earplugs from his ears.

"You are the top graduate of this class, Uchiha Sasuke? I challenge you! I will show you that even with acquired effort, we can defeat you geniuses!" Rock Lee's expression turned serious as he walked up to Sasuke and declared loudly.

Sasuke was about to refuse this boring match when he saw Rock Lee's eyes. It seemed that if Sasuke didn't accept his request, Rock Lee would continue to look at him with such disdain in the future.

Who was Dobe? The second young master of the Uchiha clan, accustomed to being young and arrogant, how could he tolerate such humiliation? His eyes instantly turned red, and his two-tomoe Sharingan stared intently at Rock Lee in front of him.

"Fine. I accept your challenge. Shall we do it right here?"
