Chapter 181 Unbelievable
Sasuke frowned, his wariness of Li An deepening. He knew the importance of ninjutsu manuals and naturally wouldn't easily let Li An obtain the method of deciphering them.
Just then, Iruka arrived at the trading market. He frowned upon seeing the scene before him. "What happened here?" he asked.
Lian glanced at Iruka and said, "These people tried to steal my things, but I taught them a lesson."
Iruka looked at the thugs on the ground, then at Lian, his suspicions deepening. He felt the outsider's appearance was too suspicious, and his strength was unbelievably powerful.
"No matter what, this is Konoha Village, and such fighting is not allowed," Iruka said seriously.
Li An nodded slightly and said, "I understand, Iruka-sensei. I just want to exchange for the method to decipher the ninjutsu manual; I have no ill intentions."
Iruka glanced at Lian, then at Sasuke, and said, "Ninjutsu manuals are important secrets of Konoha Village, and they're not so easy to decipher. None of you should cause trouble here."
After saying this, Iruka led the criminals away from the trading market. Lian and Sasuke remained where they were, staring at each other, the atmosphere still tense.
"I won't let you get the deciphering method so easily," Sasuke said coldly.
Li An smiled and said, "Then let's give it a try. I will definitely find a way to decipher the secret manual, and no one can stop me."
Their gazes met again, and a new struggle seemed imminent. In a corner of the trading market, a pair of eyes silently observed everything, a sinister smile playing on their lips. This was Orochimaru, who thought to himself, "Interesting. These two kids are going to have a good show."
Li An took a deep breath. He knew the road ahead would be even more difficult. But he was fearless, for he possessed the wisdom of a transmigrator and a powerful system. He believed he could find a way to decipher the ninjutsu manual right under Sasuke's nose and uncover the secrets of this world.
Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the Konoha Village trading market, illuminating the bustling crowd. Li An, the mysterious man who had traveled from another world, moved among them, his eyes revealing a shrewdness and cunning that was difficult for others to detect. He knew in his heart that what he was looking for was in this noisy market, and he absolutely could not miss this opportunity.
Meanwhile, Sasuke, the aloof Konoha ninja, appeared like a ghost at the other end of the market. Dressed in black, his eyes were cold, as if the surrounding hustle and bustle had nothing to do with him. He, too, was searching for the ninjutsu manual said to possess immense power.
Suddenly, a strange light flashed in a dark corner of the trading market. Li An and Sasuke turned their heads almost simultaneously, their gazes instantly locking onto that corner. Their eyes met in mid-air, like two bolts of lightning colliding, the surrounding air momentarily freezing. Sasuke stared coldly at Li An, his eyes seeming to warn, "This is mine; you'd better not make any rash moves."
Li An's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile. He thought to himself, "Want to monopolize it? Not so easy." His hand unconsciously tightened around the short sword at his waist, and he leaned forward slightly, assuming a fighting stance.
"I am determined to obtain this secret manual." Sasuke finally spoke, his voice low and cold, as if it came from an ice cellar.
“Oh? Then let’s see who’s more capable.” Li An replied without backing down, his eyes gleaming with confidence.
Chapter 182 Some Skill
In the blink of an eye, Sasuke struck first. His figure moved like lightning, instantly rushing towards the location of the manual. His hand, like a sharp blade, reached directly for the manual.
Li An was prepared; he quickly activated his system to analyze Sasuke's attack. Just as Sasuke's hand was about to touch the manual, Li An sidestepped, dodging Sasuke's attack with incredibly agile movements. At the same time, he slammed his foot off the ground, his body lunging towards Sasuke like a nimble cheetah.
Sasuke's eyes flashed with surprise upon seeing this. He hadn't expected Li An to react so quickly and dodge so skillfully. But he was, after all, a powerful ninja, and instantly adjusted his stance, turning around and blocking Li An's attack with his arm.
"Hmph, you've got some skill." Sasuke snorted coldly and launched another attack. His attacks came like a storm, each move carrying immense power.
While dodging, Li An searched for an opportunity to counterattack. He used the system to analyze the weaknesses in Sasuke's attacks, then seized the moment and suddenly unleashed his power. His fist, accompanied by a whistling sound, struck directly at Sasuke's chest.
Sasuke couldn't dodge in time and was struck by Lian's fist. He staggered back a few steps, a look of surprise and anger on his face.
"You…" Sasuke was about to speak when Li An seized the opportunity and lunged towards the manual. He firmly grasped the manual and then quickly jumped away.
"Thank you for letting me have it." Li An smiled smugly, clutching the manual tightly in his hand.
Those around gasped in amazement at the sight. "Who is this? How could they snatch the secret manual from Sasuke?" "Yeah, amazing!" The chatter rose and fell.
Sasuke stared at the manual in Li An's hand, his eyes filled with resentment and anger. "Give me back the manual!" he roared, charging at Li An once more.
Holding the manual, Li An warily surveyed his surroundings. He knew that obtaining the manual was only the first step; the real challenge was just beginning. Sure enough, seeing the manual in Li An's hands, the surrounding crowd became restless. Some were already rubbing their hands together, ready to snatch the manual from Li An's grasp.
Iruka stood to the side, his brow furrowed, watching Lian with suspicion. What was the purpose of this sudden outsider? He remained highly vigilant about Lian's actions.
Tsunade, the leader of Konoha Village, was also in the crowd. She looked at Li An, her eyes revealing a hint of wariness and assertiveness. "This kid, we can't let him take the manual so easily," she thought to herself.
Sakura Haruno stood behind Sasuke, her face filled with anger and disgust. "This outsider dared to steal what Sasuke wanted, unforgivable!" She clenched her fists, wishing she could rush up and teach Li An a lesson immediately.
Naruto, the impetuous and reckless Konoha ninja, was now beaming with excitement. "Wow, what an amazing battle!" He was completely oblivious to the impending danger, still immersed in the thrilling fight he had just witnessed.
Guo Yao, hidden in the crowd, watched all this nervously. She looked at Li An with concern, silently praying for his safety. "Li An, you must be careful," she murmured to herself.
Orochimaru, the treacherous and cunning rogue ninja, was currently hiding in the shadows, coldly observing everything. A sinister smile played on his lips as he plotted how to profit from the chaos.
Chapter 183 Bring it on!
Holding the manual, Li An glanced around, his eyes showing no fear. He knew the battle to come would be even more difficult, but he was prepared. He carefully placed the manual in his robes, then drew the short sword from his waist, assuming a fighting stance.
"Come on, whoever wants this manual, bring it on!" Li An shouted, his voice echoing through the market. His voice was full of confidence and domineering, as if declaring to everyone that he would never back down.
Sasuke launched the first attack, unleashing his ninjutsu to its fullest potential. Flames blazed in his hands, sweeping towards Li An. Li An swiftly dodged, his figure weaving through the flames like a phantom.
Those around him joined the battle, unleashing a barrage of ninjutsu and attacks at Li An. Li An dodged left and right, his body moving like a leaf in the wind, seemingly fragile yet skillfully avoiding all the attacks.
"Hmph, you think you can take the secret manual from me?" Li An taunted as he fought. His eyes gleamed with intelligence, and every dodge and counterattack was perfectly timed.
In the midst of the fierce battle, Li An suddenly spotted an opening. Taking advantage of a lull in the attack, he leaped and rushed towards the market's exit. He knew that continuing to fight here would be disadvantageous; he had to leave as soon as possible.
Seeing this, Sasuke immediately gave chase. "Don't even think about running!" he shouted, increasing his speed even further.
Li An ran as fast as he could, with Sasuke hot on his heels. Their figures flashed across the street, drawing the attention of passersby.
Suddenly, a figure appeared ahead—it was Tsunade. She crossed her arms and looked at Li An with a serious expression. "Boy, leave the manual behind," Tsunade's voice was full of authority, making it impossible to refuse.
Li An's heart tightened. He knew Tsunade was powerful, and escaping from her would be no easy feat. But he didn't back down; instead, he smiled. "Want the secret manual? Then let's see if you have the ability."
Tsunade snorted coldly, and her body instantly expanded into a giant fist, smashing towards Li An. Li An quickly dodged to the side, and Tsunade's fist slammed into the ground with a loud bang, creating a large crater.
"Such powerful strength," Li An thought to himself, but he felt no fear. He used the system to analyze Tsunade's attack patterns, looking for an opportunity to counterattack.
Just as Tsunade attacked again, Li An suddenly spotted an opening in her defenses. Without hesitation, he rushed forward, thrusting his short sword at the opening. Tsunade was astonished that Li An could find her weakness; her eyes widened in surprise, but it was too late to dodge.
Just as the dagger was about to pierce Tsunade, a dark figure suddenly appeared, blocking the attack for her. Li An looked closely and saw it was Orochimaru.
"Haha, an interesting little fellow," Orochimaru said with a laugh, a hint of greed in his eyes. "This manual, you should give it to me."
Li An looked at Orochimaru, his heart filled with vigilance. This rogue ninja's strength was unfathomable; he had to be careful. "You're not qualified to want the secret manual," Li An replied with a cold laugh.
Orochimaru stopped talking and swiftly formed hand seals. A giant snake emerged from his hands and lunged at Li An. Li An dodged quickly, his body weaving through the snake's attacks, searching for an opportunity to counterattack.
Chapter 184: Never Give Up
In the midst of the fierce battle, Li An gradually found himself in a predicament. Sasuke, Tsunade, Orochimaru, and others constantly joining the fight around him kept him on his toes. But he didn't give up; he had only one belief in his heart: to escape safely with the secret manual.
Suddenly, Li An had an idea. He used the system to analyze the weaknesses of the surrounding environment, then concentrated his forces and launched a fierce attack in one direction. Attracted by his attack, everyone rushed towards that direction.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li An turned around and ran in another direction. He skillfully used the complex terrain of the street to evade the pursuit of the crowd.
Sasuke and the others realized they had been tricked by Li An and immediately gave chase. But Li An had already disappeared at the end of the street.
"Damn it, he got away!" Sasuke shouted angrily, his eyes filled with resentment.
Tsunade stared at the direction where Li An had disappeared, her brows furrowed. "That kid is no ordinary person," she thought to herself.
Orochimaru chuckled coldly. "Interesting, very interesting. We'll see." With that, he vanished into the darkness.
Li An ran desperately through the alley, his heart pounding. He knew he had temporarily escaped the pursuit, but the danger was far from over. He needed to find a safe place as soon as possible to study this ninjutsu manual and improve his skills.
The trading market of Konoha Village, usually a bustling place, was now filled with a chilling tension. In the throng of people, everyone's eyes held a different meaning, as if awaiting the arrival of a storm. Li An, the mysterious man who had traveled from another world, cautiously moved through the crowd, clutching tightly to the ninjutsu manual that contained countless secrets and powers.
Li An's eyes scanned his surroundings warily, every subtle movement catching his attention. He knew all too well that this secret manual had become easy prey for everyone; countless eyes were fixed on him, and the slightest lapse in concentration would plunge him into utter ruin. Sasuke, the proud and powerful Konoha ninja, stood in a corner not far away, his gaze cold and sharp, fixed on Li An like a cheetah poised to pounce on its prey.
"Hmph, this outsider actually obtained such a precious ninjutsu manual." Sasuke thought to himself, "This manual should belong to someone with real strength. I'll see how long he can hold out against me." He clenched his fist slightly, and a strong killing intent emanated from his body.

Li An felt Sasuke's menacing gaze and his heart tightened. He quickened his pace, trying to find a safe escape route in the chaotic trading market. However, the surrounding crowd seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally blocking his way, making every step exceptionally difficult.

"Don't panic, stay calm." Li An kept telling himself, "Although these people all covet the secret manual, they don't dare to act rashly. After all, this is the trading market of Konoha Village, and they still need to be cautious." He took a deep breath and tried to get his heartbeat back to normal.
Just then, a group of henchmen suddenly rushed out from all directions, wielding weapons and with ferocious expressions, and pounced on Li An. These henchmen were clearly acting under orders, attempting to seize the secret manual from Li An's arms in the chaos.
Chapter 185 How is this possible?
"They came so fast!" Li An was startled, but he didn't panic. He quickly activated his system and used its powerful analytical capabilities to instantly analyze the movements of these henchmen.
"Hmph, you little minions think you can snatch the secret manual from me?" Li An's lips curled into a disdainful sneer. He lightly tapped his feet, his body moving swiftly like a black lightning bolt, skillfully dodging the minions' attacks.
"This...how is this possible?" One of the henchmen stared wide-eyed at Li An, his face filled with horror. "How can he be so fast?"
"Stop standing there, let's go together and grab him!" another henchman shouted.
The henchmen swarmed forward again, brandishing their weapons, trying to surround Li An. However, Li An moved like a nimble monkey, weaving freely among them, causing their attacks to miss time and time again.
"Since you're so ungrateful, don't blame me for being impolite!" Li An snorted coldly, his hands quickly forming hand seals as he unleashed a simple ninjutsu he had learned from the trading market.
"Wind Release: Wind Blade Technique!" With a low shout from Li An, sharp wind blades whistled out from his hands and swept towards the henchmen.
"Ah!" The henchmen screamed as they were struck by the wind blades and fell to the ground, groaning in pain.
Those around were astonished by what they saw. They hadn't expected this seemingly ordinary outsider to be so powerful, not only easily handling attacks from multiple people but also using ninjutsu.
"Just who is this guy?" someone whispered in the crowd.
"Yes, his strength is probably no less than that of the ninjas from Konoha Village," another person chimed in.
Sasuke's eyes flashed with surprise at the sight, but quickly returned to their icy gaze. "Interesting. Looks like this guy's got some skills," he muttered to himself. "But this is just the beginning. I'll see how long you can hold out."
Taking advantage of the crowd's surprise, Li An quickly turned around and ran towards the exit of the trading market. He knew that this place was no longer safe, and he had to leave as soon as possible.
