Lin Fan finally smiled with satisfaction after seeing the Eight Inner Gates technique reach its maximum level.

At this moment, his face was deathly pale, and his forehead was covered in beads of crystalline sweat.

Lin Fan had originally assumed that since he had already maxed out his Konoha Style Taijutsu, mastering the Eight Inner Gates would be a breeze.

However, he had not expected that as a forbidden technique, the difficulty of practicing the Eight Inner Gates far exceeded that of ordinary taijutsu.

Merely using chakra to impact the Gate of Life, the first of the eight limits, had already caused Lin Fan to experience pain in his mind akin to being slashed by blades and struck by axes.

This intense sensation of pain persisted eight times over the course of several hours, and after each impact, Lin Fan felt as though he were on the verge of fainting.

Finally, after the ninth attempt, Lin Fan broke through the shackles of the Space Gate, and his mind instantly cleared.

He could hardly imagine what level of agony Might Guy must have endured when breaking through the limits of all eight gates within his body.

But these things no longer concerned him, and he had no desire to experience such pain again.

Although Lin Fan respected Might Guy's hard work and strength, he still intended to use every cheat available to him in the Naruto World.

After successfully maxing out the Eight Inner Gates, Lin Fan turned his attention to the Flying Thunder God.

But when he carefully examined the Polaroid photos recording the Flying Thunder God, he couldn't help but sneer.

It turned out that the records of the Flying Thunder God in the photos were incomplete.

Lin Fan then carefully flipped through the photos of the other forbidden techniques.

All four forbidden techniques were missing critical records of their formations or hand seals.

It was absolutely impossible to even reach the entry level.

Heh, Hiruzen Sarutobi, that old fox. Did he really give Naruto and me a fake Scroll of Sealing?

Lin Fan complained with a dark expression.

At this moment, the system's electronic chime suddenly rang out.

[Ding! A tutorial mission is now available. Please visit the Senju Compound by tomorrow and locate the Legacy Scroll left behind by Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju. Reward: Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Lv1, Water Style: Water Wall Lv1, Water Style: Water Severing Wave Lv1.]

Legacy Scroll?

Could those two legendary figures of Konoha really have left such treasures in the world?

Lin Fan could roughly guess what was recorded inside this scroll.

It must be all the ninjutsu the two of them had mastered throughout their lives.

Lin Fan's mood instantly became excited.

Moreover, the reward for completing this system tutorial mission was actually the three most prized Water Style techniques of Tobirama Senju.

It seemed necessary to pay a visit to the Senju Compound tomorrow.

After muttering to himself, Lin Fan climbed into bed, closed his eyes with a smile, and fell into a deep sleep.

Although Team 7 had no missions the next day, Lin Fan still woke up early.

After washing up, he went out to knock on Naruto's door, but there was no response.

He probably went to find Sakura again.

Lin Fan didn't pay it much mind; he went home, cooked a bowl of instant noodles, finished it, and then headed out toward the forest.

He had promised to train with Lee but hadn't fulfilled it yet, so he decided to check it out since he was free today.

When Lin Fan arrived at the forest, he didn't see Lee, but he heard Might Guy's passionate shouting from the center of the training ground.

"Yosh! After finishing these 100 sit-ups, we have 100 push-ups, 100 squats, and finally a 10-kilometer cross-country run, and then our mission will be complete. Let us sweat under the morning sun and burn with the fiery flames of youth!"

Lin Fan then saw that right beside Might Guy, Naruto and Sasuke were sitting opposite each other, grimacing as they did sit-ups.

Naruto was also wearing the same emerald-green tight-fitting training suit as Might Guy and Lee.

The sight was quite comical.

It seemed this was the reward for first place yesterday.

Naruto had clearly been fooled by the "training buff" of Might Guy's spandex suit.

Furthermore, Lin Fan felt he had heard of these training methods from Might Guy somewhere in his previous life.

Soon, it dawned on Lin Fan.

Isn't this Saitama's training method?

If Lee, Neji, and Tenten all followed this training method and stuck with it long-term, wouldn't they all end up bald?

I became bald, and I also became stronger?

Could it be that the members of Team 3 were all wearing wigs while acting out the original story?

Thinking of this, Lin Fan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Yosh, Lin Fan has arrived too! Then let the members of Team 7 start training together now!"

Seeing that Lin Fan's injuries had completely healed, Guy's eyes blazed with excitement as he shouted.

Lin Fan readily agreed, joining the ranks of Naruto and Sasuke in their sit-up marathon.

"Student Lin Fan, would you like to change into the same style of spandex as Student Naruto? It will provide you with a unique training experience!"

Guy drifted over to Lin Fan's side and whispered.

"Teacher Guy, I'll pass on the spandex. Some of my wounds haven't fully healed yet, and I'm afraid wearing that would be detrimental to them."

Lin Fan casually made up an excuse to decline.

In truth, Lin Fan's wounds had long since healed.

The reason he refused to wear the spandex was that certain aspects of his physique were far too prominent, and he didn't want to make the "Emperor Guy," who was only the size of a small acorn, feel too inferior.

Lin Fan then began doing sit-ups, quickly catching up to the pace of Sasuke and Naruto.

Sasuke and Naruto had always kept Lin Fan's strength in their eyes and etched it into their hearts.

Seeing that someone as powerful as Lin Fan could still train so diligently, their own motivation grew even stronger.

The three of them chased after one another, and soon, they completed Guy's training goal.

By the time training finished, it was already noon.

"Yosh! You three little ones are all doing great. I hope you can keep this up under the leadership of Kakashi in the future!"

"Haha, let us all work hard together and burn through this youth with no regrets!"

After Guy finished laughing and speaking, he vanished right in front of the three of them.

Once training was over, Sasuke and Naruto collapsed onto the ground.

Although both were exhausted, they didn't have a single complaint.

Furthermore, the two of them agreed to come back and train together again after lunch.

Watching the two of them, Lin Fan couldn't help but smile and nod.

The bond between this little couple is heating up quite fast.

After eating lunch and resting for a while, Lin Fan headed straight for the Senju Compound.

He arrived in front of a dilapidated residence on the outskirts of Konoha.

The massive golden plaque of the Senju of the Forest in front of the residence was covered in thick dust and draped in spiderwebs.

Back in the day, the Senju clan had produced Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, two figures worthy of being recorded in the annals of the ninja world.

Together, the two of them led their clansmen to pacify the Warring States period, found Konoha, and divide the Tailed Beasts.

How glorious and boundless their prestige was back then.

Yet, only a few decades later, Tsunade is the only pure-blooded member left, and she is currently wandering the world.

According to Lin Fan's deduction, starting from the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, in order to maintain the peace and stability of Konoha, the Senju clan began intermarrying with other families in the village.

Consequently, the powerful bloodline of the Senju clan was constantly diluted, and their strength became increasingly mediocre.

Coupled with years of war leading to a sharp decline in the clan's population, they gradually faded from the public eye.

The fact that the life's work of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju remains uninherited to this day left Lin Fan sighing with regret.
