It was a thick-browed young man wearing a black vest who looked plain.
If his eyebrows were normal, you wouldn't be able to see them if he threw them into the crowd.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to peek. I saw your training before. It was amazing." The exposed Rock Lee scratched his head in embarrassment and then said excitedly.
Naruto noticed that Rock Lee's hands were wrapped in bandages, and even his walking posture was a little limp. There were even minor wounds on his face that sharp objects had cut.
The black vest on Rock Lee's body had been washed a little faded, and the ninja shoes under his feet were a little worn out. One could even see calluses on his exposed toes.
It was not difficult to tell that the other party might be a civilian who desired to become Ninja and change his fate.
...
"No, it's just daily training. If you want to change your fate, you must work hard." Naruto showed a gentle smile and nodded at Rock Lee.
"Yes, only through hard work can you become an excellent Ninja." Rock Lee felt the same and nodded hard.
"I think so too."
With a preliminary topic of conversation, the two began to have a conversation.
In the middle of chatting, Naruto learned about Rock Lee's background.
He was born into an ordinary family and could enter Ninja's school next year to become a Ninja.
Rock Lee was eager to become an outstanding Ninja, so he had been through some rough training.
This is because most of his training is blind, leaving many dark wounds on his body
Rock Lee's background was too ordinary in Naruto's eyes, but his desire to become stronger and his hard work made Naruto very satisfied.
"Lee, you are the most hardworking person I have ever seen." Naruto first praised Rock Lee and then changed the topic.
"However, did you know that the direction and method of efforts are more important?"
"The direction and method? Naruto, you mean..."
"Find the right direction, and your training can get twice the result with half the effort. Now you are at the age of development, but I see you are covered with injuries. In daily training, you do not protect yourself well, and excessive training will consume your potential."
"Naruto, you are right. My arm often hurts so much that I can't sleep." Rock Lee said with a face full of confidence.
Rock Lee, who didn't know how to train, only knew how to punch and learn physical skills from groping.
As for Ninjutsu, don't think about it. His family did not have the opportunity to let him come into contact with Chakra in advance.
Under the in-depth training communication, Rock Lee was even more impressed by Naruto's bearing and elegance.
Naruto would give them all to him no matter the details of any training.
Strength training, physical training, and many of the details that made Rock Lee confused were suddenly enlightened at this moment.
He also understood what a scientific training method was.
"No one's success can be achieved overnight. The most important thing in the world is talent. Without the accumulation of time, talent will only be wasted. But if you find the wrong direction, it will backfire." Finally, Naruto said a famous quote someone had just taught him yesterday and processed it a little later.
"Thank you, Naruto." Rock Lee was touched.
For a long time, his thick eyebrows and silly training methods have been the objects of ridicule by the village children. Every time he goes out, he will be thrown with stones.
He also had doubts about himself, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and persevered.
Naruto was the first person to share his training method seriously.
Although it might not be correct, he felt this kindness.
Rock Lee suddenly bowed to Naruto, his eyes full of enthusiasm. "Please let me cultivate with you."
"I'd be happy to." Naruto immediately revealed a smile.
....
The strong were destined to be lonely but on the road to becoming strong,
He needed a lot of subordinates.
In the training ground, Naruto quietly looked at Rock Lee, who was constantly running.
Under the bright sun, Rock Lee was sweating, his face was exhausted, his lips were dry, and his chest was heaving like a broken fan.
But even so, his eyes were determined, and his footsteps did not stop.
Naruto's eyes were calm. He lowered his head and carefully evaluated Rock Lee.
Ordinary appearance, a hot-blooded and straightforward personality, easy to deceive, had an unknown talent, and a hard-working genius.
"Naruto, I'm finished." Rock Lee's voice suddenly sounded in Naruto's ears.
Naruto raised his head and saw Rock Lee panting heavily, sitting down and facing Naruto.
He immediately revealed a gentle smile.
"Well done. Let's end this for today. Take a good rest. Your body needs rest."
"I'll treat you to Inchiraku Ramen." Naruto patted Rock Lee on the shoulder.
Rock Lee is a guy who works hard enough to be scary.
On the way to Inchiraku Ramen, Rock Lee, who was walking with Naruto, also received some malicious villagers pointing fingers.
"Look, that thick-browed boy is walking with the Nine-tailed Fox."
"So disgusting."
"It's okay to be ugly. You have no brains."
Naruto had already gotten used to these harsh words, so he had always maintained his elegance and grace. However, this was the first time Rock Lee had heard such comments.
He remembered that his parents had once said things about the nine-tailed fox demon.
The Nine-tailed Fox is incredibly guilty, has an abnormal personality, and likes to eat children.
But he can't compare the gentle and elegant Naruto with the nine-tailed fox.
He turned to look at Naruto.
In the face of those vicious curses that made him angry after hearing them, Naruto responded with a faint smile and apologized to him:
"I'm sorry, Lee. If not for me, you wouldn't have been cursed by them. Why don't we split up and meet at Inchiraku Ramen's place?"
Rock Lee only felt anger and confusion brewing in his heart.
He even felt the same.
He was the same as Naruto, the target of the delinquent's ridicule, but the difference is that adult villagers also sneer at Naruto.
In such a situation, Naruto maintained his elegance and thought for himself.
How could such a person be the Nine-tailed Fox who was said to have destroyed the village and committed a heinous crime?
Therefore, he stood up, his eyes burning with flames. He raised his fist and roared, "Listen up, Naruto has never done anything wrong from the beginning to the end. Instead, it is you, you."
Before he could finish his words, a rotten egg exploded on his face.
He wiped the egg liquid with a confused face.
Seeing this, Naruto stood in front of Rock Lee and shouted at Rock Lee,
"You go first."
Naruto initially thought that changing his temperament and how he dealt with people could stop the villagers from venting to him.
At first, it did work.
But after Rock Lee stood out to express his dissatisfaction, it aroused dissatisfaction deep in the villager's hearts.
We all know that Naruto has never done anything outrageous since he was born.
However, he is the Nine-tailed Fox. He should be cursed and should die.
You should join us in blaming him instead standing up as a hero.
Therefore, even Rock Lee was angered by the villagers.
