章 23: Chestnut Showdown

Guy's ninja talent was not good. In fact, he did not even have the qualifications to enter the Ninja Academy. If not for the Third being moved by his efforts, then his ninja path would probably be even more rugged.

And Guy also understood clearly that his talent was not great, so he put in more effort to make up for it. This was also the reason why he often called himself a "hard-working genius".

This was how he recovered his confidence, and at the same time, he was constantly reminding himself that he had to work harder!

Guy had put in more effort than others, so he also wanted to gain the recognition of others, so he chose a rival for himself - Kakashi!

As the son of "Konoha's White Fang" and also a well-known genius in the village, Kakashi was undoubtedly the best candidate to prove himself.

Because of this, Guy constantly looked for him, intending to prove that even if he had no talent, as long as he worked hard, he could become a respected ninja.

As for the showdown between the two, it could be a real physical duel between their fists, a small contest like the Rock-Paper-Scissors, a sushi-eating contest, or some other ridiculous things.

Guy always screamed for his "youth", chasing after Kakashi's footsteps in his own way. Although he was often bewildered by how Guy's brain works, in Zhang Miao's view, putting his strange antics aside, Guy was a respectable person.

For example, this time, he came to find him with some chestnuts on him. Although it looked like a very childish move, Zhang Miao knew that this should be the way Guy expressed his concern for him.

"This guy probably found out that I was an orphan, and Kakashi happened to be doing a mission, so he specially came to see me, right?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Miao couldn't help but smile.

"Although this guy looked clumsy at times, I didn't expect him to have a delicate heart. But even so, I won't admit defeat easily!"

As Zhang Miao thought about it, he quickly threw some chestnuts from the bag into his mouth and munched on them. In a short while, the whole bag was emptied.

Seeing Zhang Miao's fierce effort, Guy naturally did not want to be outdone.

He kept stuffing chestnuts into his mouth. After a while, his eyes widened, and he even punched his chest with his fist. It seemed that he choked on some chestnuts.

Seeing this scene, Ying and the new guy standing at the door were stunned.

"Are these two okay?"

Obviously, Zhang Miao was definitely fine. With the help of the system, his stomach was completely made of steel. As long as he could stuff the food in, he would not have to worry about a stomachache.

However, it was hard to say about Guy. Looking at his belly that had swelled up, Zhang Miao felt that there should be one bed that belonged to Guy in Konoha's hospital today.

The truth was as Zhang Miao expected. After a while, Guy fell down with a pale face. At the same time, the system prompt in Zhang Miao's mind rang.

"[Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning the official showdown. The reward is 5-star Jonin-level - Might Guy Ninja Fragment x10! ]"

Zhang Miao: "..."

"This works too?"

As if sensing Zhang Miao's thoughts, the system explained to him again.

"[No matter what method it is, as long as it is a match acknowledged by both sides, the system will acknowledge it!]"

Hearing the system's explanation, Zhang Miao immediately understood.

When he was eating chestnuts just now, Zhang Miao really wanted to surpass Guy, so he competed very seriously. But he did not expect that Guy was also serious.

"This guy, he seriously competed with a baby in a contest of appetite, really..."

Thinking of this,

Zhang Miao did not know what to say, but when he thought of Guy's character and his magical brain circuit, Zhang Miao immediately felt that it was extremely normal.

However, there were some benefits. The ten Ninja Fragments came as a surprise.

Looking at Guy, who was lying on the ground with his round stomach twitching, Zhang Miao rolled his eyes and immediately thought of a way to quickly collect Guy's Ninja Fragments.

So he stood up with his hands on his waist and then looked down at Guy.

"Hey, Big Bro Acorn, although you lost this time, I can give you another chance to challenge me. Come back tomorrow, and you can choose whatever you want to eat!"

After that, Zhang Miao waved to Ying behind him.

"Big Sis Ying, get someone to send him to Konoha's hospital!"

Ying: "..."

"Who the hell are you? What right do you have to order me?"

Ying was very unhappy, but looking at Guy, who seemed to be on the verge of death on the ground, she could only glare at Zhang Miao fiercely and then turn to look at the new guy beside her.

"Fukuro, send him to the hospital!"

"Roger!"

Ying's level seemed to be higher than Fukuro's. After hearing her order, Fukuro immediately picked up Guy and disappeared in a flash.

Zhang Miao knew that Fukuro was sending Guy to the village's hospital, so he grinned at Ying.

"Hehe, thank you, Big Sis Ying! Now give me my brother!"

As he spoke, Zhang Miao took Naruto from Ying's hands.

To Ying's surprise, Naruto, who had been crying just now, immediately stopped crying after being taken over by her brother. He even babbled toward Zhang Miao's arms.

Seeing this scene, Ying couldn't help but smile.

"As expected, these brothers are both freaks!"

Zhang Miao didn't care what Ying was thinking. He carried Naruto into their room and then put him on the floor, allowing him to crawl around in the room while he lay on the floor with his hands behind his head, staring at the roof in a daze.

At some point, Ying also came in and squatted down next to Zhang Miao.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Wanna guess?"

Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Ying rolled her eyes at him and left without a word.

However, she had only taken two steps when Zhang Miao's voice rang out behind her again.

"Hey, Big Sis Ying, do you have any siblings?"

As a member of Anbu, Ying needed to conceal her identity under her mask. So she should not answer such a question. But facing Zhang Miao, she chose to answer his question.

"I have a sister who is studying at the Academy. I hope that you can become good friends in the future!"

After saying that, Ying turned around and found that Zhang Miao showed a look of disdain. She immediately frowned.

"What do you mean by that expression?"

"Nothing!"

Zhang Miao shrugged his shoulders. He got up and picked up Naruto, who was crawling on the ground and put him in the baby bed. After doing all this, he turned to Ying and raised his eyebrows.

"Is your sister... beautiful? I don't want her if she's not!"

Ying: "..."

"This damned brat! Who do you think you are?"

Ying took a few deep breaths and finally suppressed the anger in her heart. Then she squeezed out a sentence through her teeth.

"My sister is very beautiful, and she is a genius in swordsmanship. Are you satisfied now?"

"Oh... that's nice!"

Zhang Miao nodded as he turned over and crawled into his own bed. He then waved at Ying.

"Very well. Bring your sister here tomorrow for me to see. If it's possible, I'll take her as my eighteenth concubine. Alright, there's nothing else for you. You can leave now!"

Ying: "..."
