After hearing Liu Chen's voice, Hinata initially didn't react. It took her a full few seconds to finally understand... what Liu Chen's words truly meant. Hinata's small face wore an incredulous expression. Though her voice remained timid and soft, the disbelief in her tone was unmistakably clear: "The Hokage is the strongest person in Konoha Village. How can someone have the power to punch... punch the Hokage to death?!"
Her thinking was actually quite normal. After all, when Liu Chen first watched Naruto, he also thought the strongest was the Third Hokage. Then, as more monstrous characters appeared later... he realized the Third Hokage was just a minor character. He belonged to the weakest of the weakest among all Hokage, arguably second to last, or third to last. And even the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, wasn't someone who couldn't be killed. There were several Six Paths level existences... and also a certain sealed Kaguya.
Liu Chen's smile remained. He said, "If you have the current Third Hokage fight me, I can punch him to death." Of course, there was a precondition: the Third Hokage couldn't dodge and had to take Liu Chen's punch head-on. Hmm... with Liu Chen's taijutsu, capable of shattering an island with one punch, he truly felt he could punch the aging Third Hokage's head directly into his stomach, or smash his head open. After all, besides a few specific individuals, most people in the Naruto world are squishy mages or squishy assassins. And chakra is easily depleted. Truly thick-skinned people are few and far between. Nothing like the humanoid monsters in One Piece, who can fight for days and nights as if it were child's play... Back then, he and Kaido the Beast fought fiercely for ten days and ten nights, without a minute's rest. Their world-shattering battle destroyed one large island, four medium-sized islands, and over a dozen small islands. It even forcibly changed the climate of a sea area in the New World. The two of them had absolutely no restraining power. They fought from land to sky, from sky to land, from land to sky... This cycle continued for ten days and ten nights, leaving Liu Chen almost dead from exhaustion. He finally wore down Kaido the Beast, displaying a physique even more monstrous than Kaido's! It was from that moment on... the strongest man on land, sea, and air became Liu Chen.
His thoughts returned from past memories. Since he had already arrived in the Naruto world, everything from before was now just a memory, a thing of the past. Looking at Hyuga Hinata before him, Liu Chen continued, "If you want to possess powerful strength, I don't mind teaching you. Although I'm not sure if you can awaken Conqueror's Haki or Observation Haki."
"But one thing I can confirm is that your future achievements will definitely not be inferior to the Third Hokage. You can even become completely stronger than him!"
"But... but I already have a teacher..." Hinata's heart was filled with hesitation. Although her personality was very gentle, it didn't mean she liked being bullied. She also wanted to resist, but her strength was very weak, and even her nature was very soft. Hinata deeply desired to change. But on the other hand... she was also the young lady of the Hyuga clan of Konoha. And her current teacher was Iruka. Could she take on another teacher?!
Liu Chen felt a bit of a headache at Hinata's somewhat conservative thoughts. This little girl was good in every way... except sometimes her ideas were too conservative. But this was indeed Hinata, and in the future, she would be a virtuous wife and loving mother. Of course, after Liu Chen's intervention... Hinata and Naruto's relationship would probably only be that of ordinary classmates. They might not even have exchanged a single word.
"I can teach you to become a strong person, and even if I teach you to cultivate, it doesn't matter. Does the Ninja Academy's rule state you can only have one teacher?!" Liu Chen couldn't help but chuckle wryly. "Your current strength is too weak. If you don't want to drag others down in the future, you need to work harder to become stronger."
"Only then will you not drag others down."
"And by then, no one will be able to bully you."
Liu Chen's tone, though very calm, carried a unique allure, especially for a child like Hinata... who was often bullied. This strange feeling was like luring a little brat... But Liu Chen didn't care about those details. A Guardian Spirit? Can it be called 'luring'? It's teaching! It's guiding!
"But... but my talent isn't high, and Iruka-sensei once said that my personality will greatly affect my future ninja path, and it might even be difficult for me to become a qualified ninja," Hinata whispered softly, her voice inevitably tinged with disappointment.
Suddenly, she felt her small head. It was as if someone had pressed it down. She saw... Liu Chen gently rubbed Hinata's hair. As her small face turned crimson, almost fainting again, Liu Chen said, "Before I started cultivating, I was even more useless than you in terms of talent. You are a direct descendant of the Hyuga clan, possessing talent that no one else has."
"And even if you can't become a qualified ninja in the future, does that mean you can't get stronger?! I'm not a ninja... But if you let me invade Konoha, I have 100% confidence that I can destroy the entire Konoha!" His words were so calm, but their content was undeniable. This was Liu Chen's confidence! Confidence in his own strength!
"Not becoming a ninja... can I still become strong? Like Guardian Spirit Brother?" Hinata's small face was filled with longing. But the crimson flush on her face still remained. Moreover, as time passed, her small head felt as if it were steaming, giving her a sense of fainting at any moment.
Liu Chen subtly moved his hand away. He worried that if this continued, Hinata's brain would burn out. However, he could also confirm that Hinata's heart had already wavered... Indeed, it wasn't too difficult to fool a child, as long as you drew a grand vision for them. And while others' visions were fictional, the vision Liu Chen drew was real.
