mtl008 Chapter 307 Changes in Konoha~
Chapter 307 Changes in Konoha~
The village of Konoha is now extremely populated! The addition of a group of people dressed in strange clothes won't have much of an impact.
Not to mention the people in the world of sorcery, and even Minato Namikaze, the Hokage, who issued the pass!
The group happily went to explore the new era of Konoha Village!
As for Li Muyang, he's an old friend! Some people in Konoha Village still recognize him!
However, for some reason, Minato Namikaze warned Li Muyang not to wander around the Uchiha clan's neighborhood when he had nothing to do, as he might get ambushed.
Li Muyang [?_??]: Huh?
Hit me with a club? Me? Who could possibly hit me with a club?
Are you kidding me?! With my current physique, forget about knocking me out with a club. Even if Obito had the Truth-Seeking Ball staff, you couldn't knock me out!
Until Li Muyang, while shopping, encountered...
Yujiro Hanma?
No! It's Uchiha Itachi!
Looking at the incredibly muscular man in front of him, if it weren't for the two tear troughs on his face caused by the muscles, Li Muyang would never have believed that this guy, who was even more muscular than the Raikage brothers from the Cloud Village, was actually the sickly guy from the original story!
...For some reason, I have a feeling that if I were to hit Uchiha Itachi in the face with a club, I might actually knock him unconscious!
Upon seeing Li Muyang, Uchiha Itachi greeted him warmly, "Mr. Li! It's been a long time!"
“…Itachi, you’ve changed so much…” Li Muyang’s lips twitched as he echoed, then he leaned closer and whispered, “Doesn’t your father have any objections to you becoming like this?”
Uchiha Itachi's lips twitched almost imperceptibly. He really wanted to say that he had a problem with it, a huge problem with it! Ever since his father learned that the body-refining method he practiced came from Li Muyang, he had wanted nothing more than to glare Li Muyang to death with his Mangekyou Sharingan!
My good, obedient son! How did he turn into this muscular hulking man? He's wider than two people combined! His wrists are thicker than most people's thighs!
If word gets out, who the hell would believe I'm a member of the Uchiha clan?! What a disgrace to my family!
Despite his complaints, Itachi Uchiha was very grateful to Li Muyang. He had always felt that his body wasn't very good since childhood, but since he started body training, his physical condition had been getting better and better! Moreover, by chance, he successfully obtained Tsunade's help and learned the Sage Mode of Shikkotsu Forest!
Tsunade of the Senju clan and Itachi of the Uchiha clan were able to develop a relationship that was both teacher and friend.
The current Itachi Uchiha looks quite different from the original storyline, but his strength hasn't changed much! He's still a Kage-level fighter.
He's a master of both offense and defense, capable of handling both close and long-range combat! He's mastered the Sharingan to an extreme degree! Although he hasn't awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, his physical body is probably already in a class of its own in the entire ninja world! Ordinary ninja tools can't even penetrate his defenses! He's also developed his own unique bloodline limit, Flame Release.
Yes, it's the Amaterasu Black Flame series of techniques!
Congratulations to Amaterasu for actually killing someone this time! And you could say she's become famous throughout the ninja world!
Of course, none of this affected Fugaku Uchiha's determination to knock Li Muyang unconscious!
Li Muyang fell silent for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled helplessly. He had only himself to blame for the mess he had made!
Just then, Gojo Satoru, along with Itadori, Nagisa, and Fushiguro Megumi walked over face to face.
"Yo... Old Li, who is this...?" Gojo Satoru greeted him with a smile and a wave, while also observing the burly man in front of him. This physique... wow... not simple! However, he didn't remember having such a person in Konoha!
Could it be the Raikage of Kumogakure? Or Killer Bee?
Tiger and his two companions were also lost in thought.
Li Muyang introduced without expression: "This is Itachi, the eldest son of the Uchiha clan head."
The expressions of Gojo Satoru and the other three gradually changed from contemplation to doubt, then to bewilderment, and finally to shock.
I can understand what you're saying, but I don't quite understand the meaning.
At that moment, the four noticed the Uchiha Itachi in Hanma Yujiro's version, with two tear troughs on his face... it really looked like it!
Uchiha Itachi tilted his head in bewilderment. Strangely, he had encountered several strangers earlier, probably from other villages. When they learned that he was Uchiha Itachi, their expressions were exactly the same as these strangers, as if they knew him but didn't recognize him in the present moment.
I can’t understand!
"Onii-chan~"
Just then, a sweet little boy's voice called out from the side.
A boy with a cold expression ran towards Itachi and threw himself into Itachi's arms, followed by a blond boy.
Well, if nothing unexpected happens, it will be Naruto and Sasuke, who have a love-hate relationship!
"Brother Itachi~" the obedient version of Naruto greeted him respectfully. He had often heard his father say that this Uchiha Itachi in front of him was a rare genius! If he could teach him even a move or two (Minato Namikaze: No way!)! Then he would definitely be able to beat Sasuke!
They didn't even consider that he was Sasuke's older brother!
Li Muyang then grinned crookedly, reached out and pressed down on Sasuke and Naruto's heads at the same time, giving them a good rub!
Hehehe! Since we're already here, he's determined to ruffle the protagonist's head today!
After a haphazard ruffle, Li Muyang managed to make the two boys' hair a complete mess, successfully earning him two angry-looking young protagonists. Then, with a smile, Old Li took out two specially made little gadgets and gave them to them.
According to this explanation, it's essentially a chakra ninja tool!
Having received their reward, the two boys, who had a love-hate relationship, immediately forgot about Li Muyang messing up their hair! They happily tried on their respective gifts.
A Naruto lightsaber and a Sasuke lightsaber—putting aside their power, they're undeniably cool!
Upon seeing this, Itachi Uchiha hurriedly said, "Mr. Li, isn't this a bit too expensive?"
Li Muyang waved his hand: "Don't worry, they're just little gadgets I made myself, nothing special."
Since that's been said, Itachi Uchiha could only nod with a wry smile and say nothing. In fact, this thing is not that precious to the ninja world now, because of the reform and opening up. Orochimaru has mastered the core technology, and Konoha in this world has mastered the method of making ninjutsu scrolls and has also developed mass-produced ninja tools.
The two boys have now graduated from the Ninja Academy and are preparing to take the Chunin Exams, so this little gift is nothing to them.
However, Itachi Uchiha felt that the little gift Li Muyang gave to his younger brother was probably much better than the products from the Konoha Research Institute in every aspect!
What Itachi Uchiha didn't know was that when Li Muyang was rubbing Naruto and Sasuke's hair, he also cleansed the will attached to the chakra of Ashura and Indra in their bodies. Now, each of them only has a pure chakra!
This is something you just do on the spur of the moment! He's already messed up the script, so changing it a bit more won't hurt! The classic best-friends-hate relationship trope is outdated! Next up is... the Konoha Twins!
Actually, once Naruto and Sasuke reach a certain level of maturity, they will become immune to this so-called consciousness. However, it will still have a significant impact on their early growth. Now that Li Muyang encountered it, he easily eliminated it.
The only person present who could probably tell what Li Muyang had done was Gojo Satoru, but he pretended not to see it, greeted them, and continued shopping.
Uchiha Itachi, along with the two boys, prepared to find a place to familiarize themselves with the gifts Li Muyang had given them! Perhaps they could play an unexpected role in the upcoming Chunin Exams!
Li Muyang watched the two groups leave, pondered for a long time, and then went to the Uchiha clan alone.
Before long, Li Muyang and the calm and collected Uchiha Fugaku sat face to face once again.
Upon seeing Li Muyang, Fugaku Uchiha was indeed quite infuriated. "You've turned my son into this muscular hunk! He's nothing like an Uchiha! And you have the nerve to swagger into my Uchiha family? Insolence! Do you think you can disregard my Uchiha family?"
However, the bloating only lasted for a moment, and the calm and wise head of the Uchiha clan immediately noticed that something was wrong with Li Muyang!
Even though the person was standing right in front of him, he couldn't sense a trace of their presence!
When he tried to observe Li Muyang with his Sharingan, he still saw an ordinary Li Muyang, whose background he could not understand.
So the head of the clan welcomed Li Muyang in. Don't misunderstand, this isn't out of cowardice, but rather because he knows what's important! Li Muyang's visit to the Uchiha clan must be for important matters to discuss!
"Oh, Master Fugaku, please don't misunderstand. I just haven't been to Konoha for a long time, so I came to visit an old friend." Li Muyang calmly took a sip of tea and said, "However, it was indeed my fault regarding Itachi's matter. I should have informed you in advance about the side effects of practicing the Body Tempering Technique. I apologize."
Fugaku Uchiha couldn't vent his anger for a moment. He sighed deeply. His Sharingan ability could predict future developments. Therefore, to be honest, although he complained that Li Muyang had caused Itachi to become what he is now, he was actually very grateful to Li Muyang for preventing Itachi from going astray!
Of course, the fact that Itachi has become unlike the Uchiha clan is not actually something that Fugaku had to complain about, but rather the opinions of some other old fogies in the clan. Fugaku was just making a public statement to shift the blame!
Anyway, Li Muyang has been missing for many years, and besides, he did give us the Thunder Body Tempering Technique. It's not wrong to blame Li Muyang, is it?
However, Fugaku Uchiha did not expect that after not seeing Li Muyang for so long, he would be completely unable to see through the seemingly naive young man from back then!
The current Li Muyang gives Fugaku Uchiha a feeling that he needs to look up to or even worship!
Before Fugaku Uchiha could say anything, Li Muyang placed a prepared manual on the table and pushed it towards Fugaku, saying, "This manual... don't worry, it's not about physical training, it's about mental strength. It can purify mental strength, improve its quality, and reduce the influence of emotions. I think it should be of great help to the Uchiha."
"How could I possibly accept this..." Fugaku Uchiha said, but he still obediently stuffed the manual into his sleeve, not even glancing at it once, maintaining a straight gaze throughout!
