Limitations of Collection Technique

Soon, Hanfu fell into contemplation again.

The pale blue light spot in his mind not only made Hanfu understand the Chakra Refinement Technique but also gave him a very important piece of information: the collection limit!

Hanfu had previously thought that the Collection Technique only had a limit of three uses per day. He was wrong. After he successfully collected, he discovered another limit: he could only collect three 'skills' from the same target!

In short, each ninja could only provide him with a maximum of three ninjutsu!

'If that's the case, I can't casually collect from important figures anymore!'

What if he collected the Three Body Technique from Namikaze Minato or Jiraiya? Hanfu would truly cry himself to death in the restroom!

So, the question arose: how could he target and collect the specific ninjutsu he wanted from a target?

Hanfu squinted his eyes and decided to conduct a small experiment.

"Brother."

Hanfu happily ran over to the stout-looking clansman. This clansman was a head taller than him. Hanfu looked up and said cutely, "Can you teach me the Transformation Technique? I want to transform into Ultraman!"

"Ultraman?"

The clansman was stunned and didn't understand. He instinctively looked at Gekko Hoshino.

"Hanfu, don't be silly," Gekko Hoshino said. "Your Ryofu brother still needs to train his swordsmanship."

"Just a little while, it'll be quick," Hanfu said, opening his big eyes, intending to charm his way through.

"Uncle, it's alright," Gekko Ryofu said, not wanting to make Gekko Hoshino difficult.

"Alright, you have five minutes." Gekko Hoshino said.

He was about to go to the battlefield, and Gekko Hoshino didn't know if he would return alive. Therefore, he wanted to impart some basic knowledge to these juniors as much as possible before leaving.

Then, Gekko Ryofu pulled Hanfu to a corner.

"Hanfu, you can refine chakra now, right?" Gekko Ryofu asked.

Hanfu nodded: "Yes."

"Good, I'll teach you the Hand Seal Gestures for the Transformation Technique first!" Gekko Ryofu extended his hands and slowly formed a seal in front of Hanfu. The hand seal posture was very standard, textbook-level.

"Remembered?" Gekko Ryofu asked.

Hanfu shook his head: "Again!"

Gekko Ryofu nodded and formed the seal again with both hands.

Meanwhile, Hanfu decisively used the Collection Technique!

In his mind, green light surged, and then a pale blue light spot gushed out.

Collection successful!

Hanfu calmly wrapped this pale blue light spot with his consciousness, and then a smile appeared on his lips.

It's the Transformation Technique!

He actually collected the Transformation Technique!

Hanfu's heart settled. This way, as long as he guided the target before using the Collection Technique, he could specifically collect the ninjutsu he wanted!

Of course, one success didn't mean it was correct. Perhaps collecting the Transformation Technique this time was just a coincidence, so Hanfu needed to conduct more experiments to verify this idea!

Unfortunately, the three collections for today had already been used up.

One failure, two successes, collecting the Chakra Refinement Technique and the Transformation Technique.

Hanfu didn't want to become a salted fish. When Gekko Ryofu joined Cheap Dad's training again, Hanfu secretly returned to his bedroom, sat cross-legged with a solemn expression, and began to refine chakra!

Under the guidance of Hanfu's consciousness, the spiritual energy and physical energy in his mind slowly merged in a one-to-one ratio. The speed... was very slow. For the first time, Hanfu felt the malice this world brought him.

At this speed, Hanfu would need to refine chakra for ten days to have enough for one Transformation Technique.

With this talent, Hanfu's upper limit was probably Genin.

This was to compete with Might Duy for the title of eternal Genin. Hanfu touched his benevolent appearance. How could he bear it!

But how to break through the limitation of chakra?

Become a Jinchuriki?

Hanfu's mind suddenly opened up: Could the Collection Technique directly collect the Tailed Beast from a Jinchuriki...

Should he try Kushina?

But if it was possible, would he also collect Naruto?

No, absolutely not!

Hanfu closed his eyes and resolutely dismissed this thought.

"Feng-chan, time to eat!"

Keiko's shout came from outside. Hanfu hadn't eaten breakfast and was indeed a bit hungry now, so he hurried out.

The onigiri Keiko made for lunch, with seaweed and sesame, should taste good. It was just the quantity that was a bit much, a full thirty. Hanfu said he could only eat five even if he ate with his stomach wide open.

Hanfu consciously took five onigiri, and then saw Cheap Dad Gekko Hoshino leading Gekko Hayate, Gekko Ryofu, and others walking in.

Hanfu paused, then silently put the rice ball he had just taken back.

After the meal, Gekko Hayate and the others came to the backyard again. Under Gekko Hoshino's gaze, they continued their boring and tedious sword practice under the scorching sun.

Hanfu watched from the side. The loud chirping of cicadas came from all directions, making him drowsy. He had no choice but to return to his bedroom, turn into a salted fish, and self-seal.

When he woke up, it was already past three in the afternoon. Hanfu broke the seal and ran to the backyard, only to see Gekko Hayate, Gekko Ryofu, and others still training.

The scorching sun was directly overhead, and the air was even more stuffy. Their hair was all soaked with sweat, sticking to their scalps. Even their clothes were wet and dry, dry and wet.

Hanfu felt a little guilty when he saw this scene. While he was enjoying a comfortable nap, these people were still sweating under the scorching sun, training hard. Hanfu really wanted to train with them, but... who made him have a cheat?

The training continued until around five in the evening when they left, exhausted. Gekko Hayate was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to climb the wall. It was his Cheap Dad, Gekko Hoshino, who carried him over to Hayate's house next door.

"Dad, where's Mom?"

Hanfu looked around the room but couldn't find Keiko, which was a little strange.

"Your mother is working overtime at the hospital and won't be back until later," Gekko Hoshino said heavily.

With this war, Konoha Hospital would also need to dispatch a large number of people to the front line. However, Keiko was just medical staff, not a Medical Ninja, so she shouldn't be going to the front line.

As Gekko Hoshino pondered, Hanfu asked a Soul Questioning: "What about dinner?"

Gekko Hoshino thought for a moment and said, "There are two rice balls left from lunch."

Hanfu looked horrified. "Dad, you can't cook? Aren't you a ninja? Don't you cook when you're on missions outside?"

Gekko Hoshino smiled and said, "During missions, we eat Military Ration Pills. Hanfu, didn't you also eat two rice balls at noon? We'll make do with that tonight. When your mother comes back, she'll make you something delicious."

"...Okay."
