"Haku!." When Ryoha arrived home, he found that Haku was facing a lot of Otogakure and Sunagakure ninjas by herself. Fortunately, Haku had Bulma's guidance and had trained in the gravity chamber before. Her current strength was miles ahead of when she was in the Land of Waves. Even if she faced so many ninjas alone, she still had the upper hand.
"Move aside, Water Release - Water Dragon Bullet!" Ryoha weaved some hand seals and directly faced the group of ninjas in front of him. His water dragon immediately swept them up.
"Ice Release - Flash Freezing!" Haku jumped over and touched the bed of water in front of her. The sheer cold transformed the water dragon into an ice dragon, instantly freezing the enemy ninjas swept by the water dragon.
This was why Haku did not die in the Land of Waves, unlike in the original work. Now, she could survive by using her own creativity and perception to explore her Ice Release, developing a new secret technique.
Her jutsus were no longer limited to the Crystal Ice Mirrors. The current Haku was close to the level of a Jonin. Even if her opponent was Gaara or the current Sasuke who had mastered the Chidori, she could win convincingly. Of course, only if Gaara didn't transform to Shukaku.
"Very good."Ryoha smiled. Sure enough, he wasn't wrong about Haku. Her talent was great, but unfortunately, she didn't have anyone to teach her. She only had herself. Compared to Ryoha, a cross-world traveler who knew a lot of things and had Bulma helping him all this time, Haku was the real genius.
She was a natural genius who didn't rely on the help of others. She only relied on her own perception, talent, opportunity, and luck to learn from the world around her in order to improve herself.
After surviving in the Land of Waves, she greatly improved her strength and ability with Bulma's help, such as through the nutrient solution, dedicated training regimes, the gravity chamber, and so on. In addition to her superb comprehension and learning ability, her terrifying talent began to show. Her strength could be said to be advancing rapidly.
Her talent was even comparable to Konoha's top ninjas such as Itachi, Kakashi, and others. All of them were considered greats, even among the Five Ninja Villages. If it was not enough, the fact that she was able to grow this far to this level just with her single-hand seal, Bloodline Limit, and her own self-exploration was the best proof.
On the contrary, Itachi had the Uchiha clan behind him that provided him with guidance and help. Kakashi had the Hatake clan and the Fourth's teachings, so they had many advantages compared to her.
However, Haku was even more talented than them because she could learn from the world around her to make up for her shortcomings. Itachi and Kakashi were taught by others, so Haku was obviously better than them in terms of independent comprehension or self-learning.
"Where's Bulma?"Ryoha looked around and found that Bulma was nowhere to be seen. He couldn't help but ask.
"Bulma-sama is fine. I used my Ice Clones to accompany her inside." Haku answered truthfully.
"That's good. But Haku, please don't force yourself. If this feels too much for you, take Bulma and leave. And destroy that place at the same time." Ryoha said vaguely.
"I got it." Shui Wubai nodded. Her heart was warmed by Ryoha's concern for her.
"Ryoha!." Suddenly, Kurenai's voice came from behind. Ryoha turned around and saw Kurenai following him. Her eyes were full of concern, which also warmed his heart just like Haku before. He and Kurenai were not even related and hadn't known each other for a long time. However, the relationship between the two was better than many people in Konoha.
They were both teachers, but Ryoha couldn't compare her to Kakashi. Whether it was his senses or his simple behavior, Ryoha felt that Kakashi couldn't even be compared to Kurenai.
"Kurenai-sensei, why are you here?" Although he knew that Kurenai was worried about him, Ryoha still pretended not to know.
"I'm worried about you... and Hinata." As soon as Kurenai said the first sentence, she felt that it was a bit ambiguous and quickly added Hinata to the mix.
"Well, Hinata, follow Kurenai-sensei. Haku, remember what I said just now. It's not a joke. If you can't hold on, then retreat." Ryoha waved his knife and stabbed three ninjas around him nearby to death.
"Ryoha, you have to be careful." Hinata whispered, but not even an idiot could hear the concern in her voice.
"Yes, I will." With Kurenai as a Jonin and Haku around, Ryoha was more at ease, so he followed the path in front of him and ran to the Forest. There was still Shukaku waiting for him. He really wanted to see how strong the tailed beast in this world was.
As Ryoha advanced, he killed many hostile ninjas on his way. All of them were no match for him. This terrified many Oto and Suna ninjas. They did not dare to come over. It was truly a one-man fight. The eyes of Kurenai and the others were shining, looking at his performance. Just now, Ryoha's monstrous strength and ability were deeply imprinted in their hearts.
After Ryoha left, the enemy ninjas once again tried to attack Kurenai and the others, obviously treating them as weaklings.
"Ice Release - Pear Blossom Blizzard!" Haku's single-hand hand seal amazed Kurenai. Ryoha should have learned it from this girl. Sure enough, those following him were definitely no ordinary people.
Haku launched a blizzard of ice needles toward the attacking ninjas in front of them, blowing holes in their bodies just like a machine gun.
"You are called Haku, right? You are really amazing." Kurenai couldn't help but praise her. She was about the same age as the rookies, but her power was far stronger than theirs. According to Kakashi, she was only a Chuuin in the Land of Waves. But how long had it been? Haku's strength was already close to a Jonin. Her progress was really fast.
"Compared to Ryoha-sama, I still have a long way." Haku's delicate and elegant voice was like a lily. One movement and one sentence could gain the favor of others.
"This kid is really lucky with women."
Kurenai didn't know why she felt very upset when she thought of this. This was the first time in so many years that this kind of feeling had appeared inside her heart. Kurenai suddenly remembered what Ryoha said when he was angry for Hinata, that he would also do the same if she were the one who got badly hurt. This made her feel even more complicated.
