Chapter 26 Let them see what a true genius is
He soon returned to his home. Bai was sitting in the living room, nodding his head. He was obviously very sleepy, but still waiting for him.
Zhou Cheng felt warm in his heart. Bai had always been so gentle to him:
"Bai, I'm back. I won't practice more today. I need to conserve my energy for the big battle tomorrow!"
"Yeah!" Bai responded, nodded, stood up and walked towards his room.
The next morning, Zhou Cheng got up early again.
His biological clock has been set so that he wakes up at about the same time every day.
Bai was earlier than him and was already exercising in the yard.
Zhou Cheng took Bai Yiran and ran around the village, during which time they met Kai and Xiao Li who were also running.
Kai's eyes were filled with satisfaction and love when he saw that Zhou Cheng was so talented and hardworking.
If such a child cannot become his disciple, he will regret it for the rest of his life.
Kai's eyes were full of determination. He must, must accept him as his disciple!
After the running lap, Zhou Cheng and Bai returned home, washed up, and had some breakfast.
Then, they went out and prepared to go to school.
The competition with Ningji took place on the school playground.
As soon as I walked out the door, I saw Naruto with a sunny face.
Hinata lowered her head slightly and Ino already had the aura of a mature lady.
"You're all here!"
Zhou Cheng greeted them with a smile.
Since Zhou Cheng and Bai usually use shadow clones to go to class, Naruto and the others also know this, and usually everyone goes to school on their own.
So, this was Zhou Cheng’s first time going to school with them.
Everyone was chatting and laughing along the way, and they all tacitly agreed not to mention the duel, as no one wanted to put too much pressure on Zhou Cheng.
The opponent is Neji, a genius who started practicing physical skills at the age of 3 and could have graduated from school early.
He is even known as the most talented person in the history of the Hyuga family.
With his Byakugan and his gentle fists that specifically target acupuncture points on the human body, even an ordinary Chunin would have to give his all when facing him.
Soon, they arrived at the school.
The teachers and students who arrived at the school at the same time as them all pointed at them, with most of them having sarcasm and contempt on their faces.
How could it be possible that a genius recognized by their ninja village lost to an outsider, especially since the two had practiced for so many years apart?
That outsider was so naive that he wanted to challenge Neji. What a fool he had!
Zhou Cheng knew that those people were talking about him.
Hinata and Ino were secretly watching Zhou Cheng's expression, afraid that he couldn't stand such a scene.
Ino even held Zhou Cheng's hand, trying to give him some comfort.
Naruto had an angry look on his face and was about to step forward to argue, saying that someone was framing his friend, and with his personality he definitely couldn't stand that.
But Zhou Cheng grabbed him and shook his head:
"Calm down, Naruto, this isn't necessary!"
“Respect is earned through fighting, not arguing!”
Then he looked at Hinata and Ino, smiled and nodded, telling them not to worry.
They walked all the way to the playground, and everyone they met would stop and look at them, and then gather in groups of three or four to point at Zhou Cheng.
There were already many people standing on the playground, separated into two areas with clear boundaries.
The larger group consisted of ordinary students and civilian ninjas, who came just to watch the fun.
The few people there were all children or elders from the major families and senior ninjas in the village.
Zhou Cheng could recognize that people from big families like the Hyuga family, the Yamanaka family, the Akimichi family, the Nara family, etc. had all come.
Their purpose is naturally to seek the reputation of the big family.
If the genius they claimed to the outside world was defeated by a commoner from outside, then it would not only be the Hyuga family that would suffer the loss of reputation.
The Konoha families are basically united together, and they are related by marriage, so they prosper together and suffer together.
However, there was no solemn look on their faces. Instead, they were talking and laughing, looking relaxed.
Zhou Cheng just wants to defeat Ningci?
Make the whole world laugh!
So what if Zhou Cheng was called a genius by three generations of people.
Talent needs time to turn into strength. Zhou Cheng has only practiced for a month so far. Does he want to catch up with Neci's seven years of hard training?
Only an idiot would believe that!
And those jonin just wanted to have some fun and relax in the endless killing.
As jonin, they know best that it takes a lot of time to practice before talent can be transformed into strength.
Otherwise, talent is just talent, and you will still be stabbed to death by a kunai from the enemy!
Zhou Cheng's training time was too short, so short that he had just come into contact with the world of ninja, and his talent had not had time to be transformed into strength.
Kai and Kakashi were looking forward to Zhou Cheng's performance.
I look forward to how long Zhou Cheng can last under Ningci.
Kakashi held up five fingers: "Five minutes!"
Kai shook his head in disapproval: "I think ten minutes!"
"If I win, you and I will have a fateful duel!"
Kai smiled, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth.
Kakashi rolled his eyes at him and ignored him.
Zhou Cheng walked onto the competition arena alone.
Naruto and his friends stood together with their classmates.
Akimichi Choji, who was eating snacks in his hand, walked over to his good friend Naruto:
"Naruto, can he win?"
Before Naruto could answer, another voice came from the other side of him:
"How is that possible? Neji is definitely the strongest among us. Even Sasuke is no match for him."
Naruto looked back and saw his other good friend, Nara Shikamaru.
Shikamaru put his hands on his head and yawned:
"It's really troublesome that such a big thing has happened. I just want to go back to the classroom and sleep!"
Sakura, with a broad forehead, stood beside Sasuke, her face full of disdain:
"Really? Sasuke is so handsome and talented, but he can't beat Neji."
"How dare he, an outsider, challenge Neji? What an idiot!"
Ino, who likes Zhou Cheng, naturally can't stand hearing someone scolding his lover, so he points at Sakura and starts scolding:
"Broad forehead, what did you say?"
"You are an idiot, and a useless vase!"
"Just be happy when I give up Sasuke!"
"You can only get the man I don't want!"
Sakura's face turned red with anger, and her chest rose and fell violently:
"you you…"
He didn't say anything for a long time.
She looked at Sasuke for help, but found that Sasuke didn't even look at her. Instead, he was looking at the person on the competition field.
Sakura was about to say something when the noisy crowd suddenly quieted down.
Neji, wearing training clothes, walked in from outside the playground.
There was an indifferent expression on his face, and all the spectators made way for him.
Ningci walked onto the competition field with the confidence of a genius, then looked up at Zhou Cheng across from him:
"Genius? I am the real genius!"
"You are destined to be a weakling, and weaklings must accept their fate!"
"Only talented people can control their own destiny!"
Zhou Cheng smiled, his smile was so bright:
"is it?"
"At first I just wanted to study hard and become a ninja who could serve Konoha."
“It’s just that some people are too xenophobic!”
"Using the name of genius to bind you and me to compete!"
“Win or lose, they have nothing to lose.”
"Good people are often bullied. I was too naive before."
"Today I will show them what a true genius is."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent.
Many people's faces changed instantly.
