Konoha's Ancestral Bullying.

If the teacher doesn't strive, the student suffers in vain.

Perhaps children who lack love are just like this.

Therefore, Zhengyi appeals to everyone here to treat your children well and let them grow up in an environment full of love.

Otherwise, don't come crying to me when they grow up and get lured away by some blond brat with a bowl of porridge.

After the news of Sunagakure's surrender spread, the ninja world suddenly went still, as if frozen; all the villages ceased fighting, seemingly waiting to see what the next policy would be.

To be honest, they didn't really want to keep fighting this ninja war; too many people had already sacrificed their lives.

They were like headless flies, hitting you one moment and him the next; when you think about it carefully, they hadn't gained a single benefit.

The first half of the Third Shinobi World War ended just like that.

On Killua's birthday, Zhengyi asked Orochimaru to hand-craft a skateboard for him.

This skateboard could be charged with chakra to move automatically.

Zhengyi couldn't help but sigh; if his teacher had spent all his time on scientific research, the ninja world would have been playing mobile Naruto games long ago. But because of these boring worldly attachments of love and affection, he lived a life that didn't feel like his own.

The Orochimaru who saw through everything in the later Boruto era was much better.

"Wow! Teacher!"

Killua hugged Zhengyi, jumping for joy, while Sakata Yuji kept praising Zhengyi for being a great teacher, looking forward to what his teacher would give him on his own birthday.

"Hehe, as long as you're happy."

Zhengyi felt that taking on a few students was actually quite nice; the liveliness was good.

As soon as Zhengyi left, Killua took Yuji and immediately stepped on the skateboard to go play with a former classmate from the ninja academy.

Then, their skateboard was snatched away on the road by a few genin who were a year older than them.

How could they let that slide!

Daring to snatch the belongings of his most adorable student!!

Upon learning this, Zhengyi took the two of them to beat those genin up and took the items back.

Then those genin went crying to their teacher, who was a chunin. How could he possibly be a match for Zhengyi? So, after getting beaten up himself, he called over his circle of friends, all of whom were from ninja clans.

Could Zhengyi tolerate that?

So, Zhengyi also called upon his own connections in the village.

Their entire class of students! Hell, even the Hokage's son was there, come on, come on.

This matter blew up into a huge scene.

Seeing that Zhengyi had more people on his side, the other side called for their relatives from their clans as well.

"Hey, hey." Kakashi was dragged out while half-way through a bath, wrapped in a towel. What on earth are you guys trying to do?!

One could tell from his lean, defined muscles that he hadn't been slacking off on his secret training.

"Although Zhengyi is a jerk! Not a good person, you guys aren't any better." This little cutie Obito said things that were neither here nor there, but he knew quite a few people in the Uchiha clan.

Among the Uchiha who were called over, there was the genius who had suddenly emerged in Konoha, Shisui Uchiha.

This group fight was quite intense; both sides called in all their connections, and it almost spiraled out of control.

"They seem to be more muscular than us."

"Heh, just dead muscle from the gym; they can't compare to us who study clan-secret ninjutsu."

A brawl broke out in the Konoha plaza, and neither side showed a hint of cowardice.

The other side's sudden remarks were like daggers to the hearts of those on Zhengyi's side.

Building muscle isn't easy. You only know that a lean physique looks cool, but do you know how much suffering they endured and how much sweat they shed to build this body?!

Kakashi hadn't intended to join the fight, but he seemed to see someone from the other side who had once insulted his father, so he focused his fists solely on that person.

Guy also saw someone who had previously called his father a "perpetual genin." He couldn't beat him before, but now! He was a chunin too!!

Most shockingly, everyone on Zhengyi's side had frequented the gym, and they all had those rippling muscles.

"You like to bully, huh?"

"You like to engage in bullying, huh?!"

People who snatch skateboards can't be good, and the teachers who teach such students can't be good either.

Today, Zhengyi could be considered to have launched a "clean-up operation" for Konoha.

It had to be done; who knows when they might have bullied him one day?

If Hashirama were alive, and these people heard that during the first Five Kage Summit, Hashirama would have given the Tailed Beasts to enemy villages if Tobirama hadn't stopped him, I'm afraid even Hashirama would have been bullied.

It was quite terrifying.

Zhengyi's strikes were a bit ruthless.

Orochimaru arrived quite quickly.

A brawl of such a serious nature had broken out in the Konoha Plaza, and as the "Acting Hokage," he could not simply ignore it.

The Uchiha Police Force arrived as well, and upon seeing their own clansmen involved, they naturally spoke in favor of their own.

Imagine how terrifying it is when both sets of referees belong to the same side; there was no justice to be found whatsoever.

"Lord Orochimaru!" The opposing side tried to play the victim upon seeing Orochimaru, for they were no match for Zhengyi and his group, and covered in bruises, they looked truly miserable.

Unfortunately, they held no value to Orochimaru, or rather, their value was far less than that of Zhengyi.

Orochimaru's attitude toward them was chillingly cold.

Whatever thousands of words they had prepared, they were forced to swallow them back.

The opposing side was locked up in the Uchiha Police Force building for fifteen days and had to compensate Zhengyi's side for their losses; just think of how much strength training they had missed in the gym during this time! The loss was immense!

They had to pay!!

Ever since that day, bullying incidents in Konoha had decreased significantly.

In the past, no one cared about bullying.

But now, bullying might actually get you beaten up.

How could you possibly know if the person you were bullying had connections?

These children who loved to bully were quite adept at reading the room.

With bullying incidents in Konoha on the decline, Zhengyi was in a much better mood, and he took the opportunity to pass the exam for Jounin.

There was now one more genius who had advanced to Jounin at the age of twelve.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi suppressed him a little, adding two words: Special Jounin.

A Special Jounin refers to someone with expertise in a specific area but whose overall strength is still that of a Chunin; those two extra words were a complete insult to Zhengyi's hard work.

He really wanted to ask Hiruzen Sarutobi: Have you ever seen the sun in Konoha at four in the morning? Have you ever seen my daily training volume and dietary standards?

Their Orochimaru faction was treated just like a stray dog on the side of the road.

In the Jounin conference room.

"Orochimaru, come and report on Konoha's finances."

Zhengyi had at least managed to enter the meeting on his own merits, and today's agenda was the money Konoha had lost during the war.

In plain terms, Konoha was broke.

If the Shinobi World War were to break out again, Konoha simply had no spare cash to fight.

A single penny can stump even the greatest hero.

The Konoha F4 sat there with furrowed brows, racking their brains over where to get money.
