Chapter 50: Naruto, Peak Human, Ch 25.2
Now, while he wouldn't dare claim to be the strongest genin ever, he was certainly among the most formidable.
The day he received his ninja headband, Li Zhenwu's family celebrated joyously.
Even Guy and Tenten came to join in the celebration, and the Third Hokage sent a gift to mark Li Zhenwu's achievement in becoming a genuine genin.
Just after graduating from Ninja School, Li Zhenwu would start following school arrangements, embarking on the usual genin team tasks.
On a sunny and pleasant day, Li Zhenwu woke up early, washed up, yawned, and donned his ninja headband before heading out leisurely towards the designated meeting spot.
Along the way, the villagers of Konoha looked at Li Zhenwu with great curiosity.
In just one night, the news that the "Konoha Monster," hailing from a commoner family, had become a genin had spread throughout the village!
Li Zhenwu, born on the night of the Nine-Tails Incident, possessing a tail and striking black hair, had already attracted considerable attention from the villagers.
After all, it was hard not to notice such an extraordinary "monster"!
Thus, when Li Zhenwu graduated from Ninja School and became a ninja, the entire village quickly responded.
"The Konoha Monster has become a ninja!" This news astonished the entire village, as everyone was well aware that Li Zhenwu was born during the Nine-Tails Incident, and now he was merely four years old!
How could anyone not be surprised?
If this was something that could become a topic of conversation among the villagers, another event made the whole village feel like it was caught in a storm of excitement.
On the day Li Zhenwu graduated from Ninja School and became a ninja, the Third Hokage officially accepted him as his disciple!
This formal acceptance was publicly announced, making sure the entire village was aware.
The Third Hokage was famous throughout the ninja world; he had only taken on three disciples, all of whom went on to become renowned "Sannin," prestigious figures within Konoha.
Now, the "Konoha Monster," Li Zhenwu, known throughout the village, had become the Fourth disciple of the Third Hokage!
Due to this action, the entire village's perception of Li Zhenwu changed!
No longer would they look upon him with the eyes reserved for an extraordinary monster.
On the other hand, the reputation of the Konoha Monster only solidified further.
Becoming a ninja at the age of four and being accepted as a disciple by the Third Hokage; such talent could only be described as monstrous!
