Returning home from Konoha Hospital, Gekko Hayate was surrounded by Gekko Ryofu and the others in the backyard like a hero, bombarding him with questions.

"Hayate, did you really awaken a Kekkei Genkai?"

"What type of Kekkei Genkai is it, the Sharingan?"

"Idiot, the Sharingan is the Uchiha Clan's Kekkei Genkai!"

"Maybe it's even more powerful than the Sharingan!"

Hehehe.

Hanfu stood on the corridor, sneering, like a great philosopher standing on the shoulders of giants, seeing through the future.

Gekko Hayate's Kekkei Genkai, to a certain extent, was indeed very powerful. It was a 'heaven-defying' Kekkei Genkai that could eliminate one's aura and make the entire body transparent: Tōton!

It could be called the essential skill for sneaking around, peeping into women's bathhouses!

However, it was a pity that Tōton had little effect in frontal combat. Otherwise, in the Original Work, Gekko Hayate wouldn't have been unable to even escape when fighting Maki, a Jonin from Sunagakure.

But even if this Kekkei Genkai could only be used for petty theft, if used well...

Hanfu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but think of the Scroll of Sealing in the Hokage Building. His heart immediately became fiery.

Facing his enthusiastic elder brothers, Gekko Hayate shyly scratched his head, chuckling non-stop.

"Hayate, although you're still young, you're becoming more and more reliable!"

"Everyone might have to rely on you in the future, so you have to work hard!"

Hearing this, Gekko Hayate immediately nodded like a pecking chicken: "Yes, I understand, I will definitely work hard!"

"Alright, stop discussing. Everyone, continue training!"

Gekko Hoshino interrupted their conversation with a serious expression, then looked at Gekko Hayate, "Hayate, I'll take you home first. Your Father doesn't know about the Kekkei Genkai yet."

"Okay!" Gekko Hayate nodded excitedly. Judging by his expression, he clearly looked forward to seeing his father's reaction when he learned about his awakened Kekkei Genkai.

Hanfu watched coldly, silently shaking his head: He's still just a child!

Unlike me, whether I have a cheat or not, I'm the same. What is this? This is mental fortitude! The mental fortitude to remain calm and collected even when Mount Tai collapses before you!

Hanfu sat cross-legged on the corridor. After a while, he couldn't sit still and happily ran down, grabbing a little brother to guide him in collecting the last ninjutsu of the Three Body Technique: Substitution Technique.

However, this time there was an accident.

Collection failed!

Hanfu looked at the slightly impatient little brother in front of him. Hanfu's heart sank slightly, and he silently ran to a corner to summarize his experience.

TEXT: Hanfu (he) had successfully guided the collection of Gekko Ryofu (he) three times in a row, but failed to collect from this little brother.

If it wasn't his own fault, then the problem lay with the other person.

When guiding the two little brothers, Hanfu (he) could feel that Gekko Ryofu (he)'s mindset was peaceful. Even though Hanfu (he) had troubled him repeatedly, he hadn't shown any resistance towards him. But when facing the previous little brother, just from his impatient expression, Hanfu (he) could tell that he was resistant to his request. He probably thought Hanfu's (he) 'request for guidance' had interrupted his normal training!

This meant...

Hanfu (he) touched his chin and pondered: The will and attitude of the collection target greatly influenced the success rate of the Collection Technique!

If the collection target was extremely vigilant towards Hanfu (he), then Hanfu (he) might not succeed even a hundred times. Conversely, if the collection target was friendly towards Hanfu (he), the success rate would be high!

Hanfu (he) remembered that the first time he collected from Gekko Ryofu (he), he hadn't even spoken to him, yet he succeeded on the first try and collected the Chakra Refinement Technique.

Hanfu (he) touched his chin and thought to himself: 'I need to summarize my collection experience first!'

Hanfu (he) squinted and quickly compiled the collection experiences from these few times, arriving at three key points:

First, when the collection target's strength far surpassed his own, the success rate would be very low.

Second, when the collection target was extremely resistant towards him, the success rate would be very low. Conversely, the success rate would be higher!

Third, through guidance, one could specifically collect the desired ninjutsu from the collection target!

After memorizing all three points, Hanfu (he) knew how his future path would likely unfold!

He looked around at the eight clansmen training in the backyard. Excluding Gekko Ryofu (he) and the little brother who was unwilling to get close to him, he had six more collection targets.

Hanfu (he) squinted and, based on their appearance, identified the most good-natured one among the remaining six people. Then, he bravely took a step forward.

"Little brother, you're so handsome!" Hanfu (he) ran up to the target and praised him insincerely, "In my entire life, you're the most handsome person I've ever seen!"

"Huh?"

Gekko Yuki (he) was a bit stunned. "Little Hanfu (he), are you... alright?"

"Little brother, you're amazing!" Hanfu (he) continued to praise him, "In my entire life, you're the most amazing person I've ever seen!"

Huh? Didn't I just say that sentence before?

Hanfu (he) blinked his eyes in confusion: Whatever, keep praising!

"Little brother, you're so powerful! In my entire life, you're the most powerful person I've ever seen!"

"..."

Gekko Yuki (he)'s expression was a little strange. He replied with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, "So, is there something you need my help with?"

Hanfu (he) smiled reservedly, knowing that no one in this world could withstand his praise!

If there is, praise it twice more!

"I want to learn the Substitution Technique, can you teach me, little brother?" Han Feng carefully observed his expression. Today's Collection Technique only had one chance left, and he couldn't waste it.

"Alright, but you only have five minutes." Gekko Yuki smiled. "Also, weren't you always looking for Liang Feng before? Why are you looking for me this time?"

"You're more handsome than him!" Han Feng said shyly.

"Haha, little Han Feng, you're so cute!"

Gekko Yuki laughed heartily, then took Han Feng's hand and led him to a corner to begin teaching the hand seals. "These are the seals for the Substitution Technique. When forming the seals, Chakra must also flow. And one more thing, to perform the Substitution Technique, you need to prepare a substitute object in advance. It can be wood, or it can be stone. Do you understand?"

Gekko Yuki explained in detail, and Han Feng listened very attentively, and then...

Collection!

The green light in Han Feng's mind instantly churned, and then a Pale Blue Light Spot gushed out.

Success!

Han Feng wrapped the Light Spot with his consciousness, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.

The Substitution Technique was also obtained!

With this, all three body techniques were mastered!

"Thank you, little brother, I've remembered everything." Han Feng smiled.

Gekko Yuki smiled: "Little Han Feng is so smart. Then, if you don't understand anything in the future, you can come find me anytime."

Han Feng nodded: "Thank you, little brother."

Han Feng discovered that there were still many good people among the Gekko Clan!

As for that little brother who had a Collection Failed...

Han Feng glanced at him and snorted with a smile: You ignored me today, and tomorrow I'll make you unable to reach me!

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't bully a young man because he is poor!

What else was there?

Oh no, he had read too few face-slapping novels in his previous life. It was a pity that he didn't have enough knowledge when he needed it, and he couldn't find good sentences to describe his current state of mind.

Uncomfortable.
