How can that be polite?

The Ninja Academy had many training grounds, the largest of which was naturally the playground. However, at this moment, the Third Hokage was in a poetic mood, holding forth to a crowd of new students on the playground. Kashima Isamu, naturally, wouldn't dare to spoil the mood, so he chose a training ground behind the school.

Hanfu followed the crowd down from the school building, his eyes scanning, searching for a target to collect.

Although Hanfu advocated for stealthy development, being last... Hmph, did he have no shame?

Therefore, for this test, Hanfu intended to strive for a good result, at least aiming for second place and fighting for third!

In short, no matter what, he absolutely could not be last!

Given this, Hanfu had to improve his strength before the test.

In his mind, five pale blue light spots and one red stardust floated near the green light orb. These were the Chakra Refinement Technique, Three Body Technique, Great Fireball Technique, and the Kekkei Genkai Tōton. They seemed impressive, but were useless.

Firstly, his Tōton couldn't be exposed. Hanfu had previously been checked at Konoha Hospital and found to have no Kekkei Genkai. If he used it today, what would happen?

Secondly, because his talent was poor and his Chakra Refinement was slow, he couldn't use the Three Body Technique or the Great Fireball Technique.

Given these two points, Hanfu needed to collect a 'skill' that could immediately raise his combat power to 5!

For example, Taijutsu!

Although Hanfu himself had been trained in swordsmanship by his cheap dad for a year, his talent was too poor. Even if given a sword, he'd probably only be able to use it as a club. However, a year of hard training had given Hanfu excellent stamina. But besides that, he didn't have many advantages.

Regrettably, he scanned all thirty students in Class 8 and found no student with outstanding Taijutsu.

The students in this batch were all Bronze!

But even if they were all Bronze, there could still be a standout among the short ones!

Hanfu's gaze finally fell on Mitarashi Anko.

This girl was taken on as a disciple by Orochimaru, so she must have something special about her. Perhaps, if she could change her habit of eating sweets and focus all her attention on cultivation, she might even advance to... Glorious Gold?

Hanfu withdrew his thoughts and walked straight towards Anko.

"Anko," Hanfu patted her shoulder.

"What is it?"

Mitarashi Anko turned around, her eyes darting, and smiled, "You're not planning to ask me to help you cheat, are you?"

The training test was a one-on-one spar. In theory, as long as Anko was willing, Hanfu could completely put on a show with her.

Hanfu snorted, "Hey, don't underestimate me, I'm very... big!"

Anko didn't understand what he meant and snorted, "Then what are you looking for me for?"

"I wanted to ask what you're best at?" Hanfu asked.

"Most skilled?" Anko said with a tsundere air, without thinking, "Kunai Throwing Technique. I specifically asked someone to give me intensive training this summer holiday. For this test, I will definitely be the most outstanding!"

"Kunai Throwing Technique?"

Hanfu's eyes lit up. This could work.

As long as he collected Kunai Throwing Technique, he could use it directly!

During the test, kunai, shuriken, and other ninja tools would be provided, but they wouldn't be sharpened. So even if they hit someone, there wouldn't be any bleeding. Of course, that was assuming you didn't aim for vital spots.

At this moment, Hanfu and the others had already walked out of the school building. On the playground in front of them, the Third Hokage was giving a speech. Their homeroom teacher, Kashima Isamu, signaled for everyone to walk quietly, without making a sound, and then walk along the school building towards the training ground behind them.

Hanfu didn't have much time left!

"Anko, can you teach me Kunai Throwing Technique and such?" Hanfu asked suggestively, in order to increase his collection success rate!

"You want to learn?" Anko's eyes rolled, and she nodded decisively, "Sure, I'll teach you!"

"Anko, you're really too..."

Hanfu flattered her while collecting.

The Green Light Orb in his mind churned for a moment, but then it calmed down.

Collection... failed?!

Hanfu looked at Anko's tender face and felt terrible.

"Too what?" Anko asked him, her eyes wide open.

Hanfu's face grew darker and darker.

You little *****, two-faced, saying one thing and meaning another, you, you, you... are you a devil?!

"Heh heh." Hanfu gave a dry laugh. Although he wasn't in a good mood and really wanted to beat her up, he couldn't let the collection matter slide.

Thinking about it, it seemed he had to resort to extraordinary measures for extraordinary situations. Hanfu's expression turned serious as he took out a thousand-yen bill from his pocket.

This thousand yen was the pocket money Keiko had given Hanfu before coming to the Ninja Academy!

"Anko, I've been thinking, and I really feel a bit bad. You so enthusiastically invited everyone for a picnic, but I refused because of my own private matters. Alas, I really shouldn't have!"

Hanfu, with a look of heartbroken remorse, stuffed the thousand yen into Anko's hand and said, "Here's a thousand for you."

Anko looked a little embarrassed: "Oh, that's too kind."

As she spoke, she skillfully tucked the thousand yen into her pocket and hid it.

Hanfu's mouth twitched slightly. "Consider it as my expenses for future picnics."

Anko nodded, overjoyed: "Okay, I'll keep it safe for now."

Seeing her happy mood, Hanfu immediately used Collection Technique on her.

Instantly, a green light orb surged and churned rapidly in his mind, then spewed out a pale blue light spot. However, this pale blue light spot seemed very... dim?

Hanfu suddenly had a bad premonition. He quickly wrapped the pale blue light spot with his consciousness, and then he was stunned.

Kunai Throwing Technique (Incomplete, Unusable)!

What the heck is "Incomplete"?!

Hanfu had encountered "Incomplete" when he collected Tōton before, but that incomplete had a clear "1/3" hint afterwards. This time, however, "Incomplete" only had the "Unusable" hint.

Did he need to collect it again?

Hanfu looked at the smile on Anko's face and felt an impulse to snatch his money back. That was his allowance for a week!

No, he needed to calm down!

Hanfu forced himself to calm down and then thought about the difference.

Soon, Hanfu understood.

Kekkei Genkai involved extremely powerful forces related to human DNA, so even Collection Technique couldn't collect it all at once!

Hanfu collected Tōton three times, and this was the reason!

By extension, other Kekkei Genkai probably couldn't be collected successfully in one go either!

Then, regarding Anko's Kunai Throwing Technique, the reason it appeared incomplete was probably because... this girl Anko hadn't completely mastered Kunai Throwing Technique at all!

In other words, what he collected was a castrated version of Kunai Throwing Technique, which he couldn't use at all!

After understanding, Hanfu silently sighed. He had hunted geese all day, only to be pecked by a goose today. It felt terrible!

Meanwhile, the people in the class had already arrived behind the school building, where there was a training ground the size of a basketball court.
