Chapter:108

"What?!" Rock Lee was shocked and looked at the two people behind Sasuke!

Sakura was a girl, and it was basically impossible for her to have such strong strength, so...

"Is it the one with golden hair?" Rock Lee looked at Naruto and murmured.

Although Naruto looked unreliable, since Sasuke said so, Rock Lee felt he had no reason not to believe him.

After all, geniuses are always arrogant. If Sasuke, a member of the Uchiha clan, could willingly admit that someone else was stronger than him, then that golden-haired guy must be formidable!

"How could this happen!" Rock Lee said in despair.

"I thought that even if Konoha's strongest Genin wasn't me, it would be Neji. I didn't expect this Genin to be so strong!"

"Hyuga family?!" Sasuke raised his eyebrows. "Excuse me, but your strength may be the worst among the Konoha Genin taking the Chūnin Exam this year."

"From what I know, there are several people stronger than you," Sasuke added lightly.

"What?! That's impossible!" Rock Lee was stunned.

"We've been preparing for this Chūnin Exam for two years. There's no way we'd be this far behind!" Lee insisted.

"Even if I can't do it, Neji definitely can! He's a real genius!"

"Genius?" Sasuke scoffed, a hint of self-mockery in his voice.

"I used to think I was a genius. But what good is that? I still couldn't beat others."

He glanced at Naruto, then stood up, no longer looking at Rock Lee.

"How could this be?!" Lee muttered, his world shaken.

Was everything Guy-sensei taught him a lie? Could someone like him who couldn't even use ninjutsu become a true ninja?

"Hey, thick eyebrows!"

Naruto suddenly called out, noticing the calluses on Lee's hands.

"You're a hardworking genius! I believe in you!"

"So please, don't give up. I know you'll become a great ninja someday!"

Rock Lee stood frozen, stunned by Naruto's words.

The strongest Genin in Konoha, as declared by Sasuke, had called him a genius and told him not to give up!

"A hardworking genius... Don't give up..."

Naruto's words echoed in Lee's mind.

After a moment, Lee seemed to snap out of his trance. He pulled himself off the wall and returned to his usual spirit.

"Thank you," Rock Lee said sincerely. "Thank you for recognizing me. I won't let you down!"

"Yo!" Naruto grinned. "Actually, I used to be a loser too."

"What?!" Lee was surprised. He thought Naruto was just trying to console him.

"Really!" Naruto nodded. "During the Genin exam, I was last place. I couldn't even use Clone Technique. But I worked hard, passed, and got various amazing abilities from the Golden Egg Shop."

"Golden Egg Shop?" Lee asked curiously.

"Yup! It's next to Ichiraku Ramen!"

Naruto pulled Lee close. "That shop's amazing! I even got the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique there!"

Lee was baffled but intrigued.

"Well, do you have money?" Naruto asked.

Lee pulled out a bulging wallet. "I've got plenty!"

"Then let's go smash some eggs!" Naruto said cheerfully, leading him to the Golden Egg Shop.

"Boss! I'm back!"

Haruto looked up and saw Naruto dragging a watermelon-rind-haired boy toward him.

"Haha, Rock Lee... finally here!" Haruto smiled, putting down his fishing rod.

Of the Konoha Twelve, Haruto had a soft spot for Lee. Despite having no background or bloodline, Lee had fought Gaara to a standstill on will alone. It was time to give him a real chance.

"Here, boss! One platinum egg!" Naruto placed 8,888 taels from Lee's wallet on the counter.

"Good luck," Haruto said with a smile, snapping his fingers and summoning a platinum egg.

"Come on, Lee!" Naruto handed him the platinum hammer.

Lee was still in awe of the shop's interior.

"All you have to do is smash the egg!" Naruto explained.

"Oh, okay!" Lee nodded, lifted the hammer, and smashed the platinum egg.

Three glowing orbs floated into the air.

"Whoa..." Lee muttered, stunned.

"This is the golden egg I told you about," Naruto grinned. "Put your hand on it and you'll get amazing powers or tools."

"Like super S-rank jutsu!" he added.

"I don't know any jutsu," Lee said quietly.

"It's okay!" Haruto encouraged. "Just try."

Lee steadied himself and touched the orbs.

Haruto squinted as he watched.

"I didn't expect Lee's luck to be so outrageous," he thought.

He couldn't wait to see what Lee had just drawn.
