Acquiring the Legacy Scroll

In this ninja world, I am likely the only one who possesses all-nature chakra, various Kekkei Genkai, and Kekkei Tōta.

In the future, I can even obtain Hashirama Cells by relying on the system.

It seems that the one capable of mastering the life's work of both Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju must be me, and it can only be me!

At this moment, the sense of desolation in Lin Fan's eyes gradually dissipated, and a faint smile slowly curled at the corners of his mouth.

He then hesitated no longer and pushed the door open to enter.

Unlike most other places in Konoha, which were filled with the vibrancy of spring and lush life, the entire courtyard of the Senju Compound was overgrown with weeds and littered with withered leaves, exuding an air of bleakness.

The walls and pillars, long neglected and in disrepair, were covered in mottled cracks.

Lin Fan did not dwell on the sadness for too long and walked straight toward the main mansion.

The door collapsed with a thunderous crash at the slightest touch.

The cloud of dust that rose up made Lin Fan cough incessantly.

Cough, cough! Good grief, what kind of dump is this? Could the Legacy Scroll of the two Konoha legends, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, really be hidden here?

This was the first time Lin Fan had felt doubt toward the system he possessed.

[Host, there is no need to doubt this system. Please observe every corner of the mansion carefully; I believe you will eventually be rewarded.]

At this moment, the system's electronic voice rang out in a timely manner.

Lin Fan had no choice but to resign himself to walking into the dust-filled room.

He decided to treat it as a free, real-life escape room adventure.

Walking into the room, what suddenly caught Lin Fan's eyes were the stone statues of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju.

The two figures on the statues were both sitting cross-legged.

Hashirama had his left arm extended, while Tobirama had his right arm extended, their hands joined together to form the Tiger Seal.

Lin Fan then lit a torch to inspect them.

The two statues of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju were shimmering with faint golden light.

Interested, he jumped onto the stone platform and held the torch up to examine them closely.

Sure enough, the substance glowing with golden light was indeed gold powder.

At this moment, Lin Fan felt a wave of melancholy wash over him again.

Even though these two possessed the power to destroy the world while they were alive, and relied on that immense strength to forge the future of the ninja world, they were ultimately reduced to nothing but Kitsuchi after death. Were they truly helpless even when their own gilded statues were wantonly damaged by the greedy?

Just as Lin Fan was sighing, he suddenly noticed a few lines of small text carved onto the fingers where the two had joined to form the Tiger Seal.

It seemed they could only be discovered after the gold powder had flaked off.

Konoha compatriots who come here, please light the Eternal Lamp before our statues and bow three times to us brothers.

Lin Fan couldn't help but smile upon seeing these words.

Even though the brothers were long dead, did they still hope for the descendants of Konoha to give them the respect they were due?

Fine, since you two are elders of the ninja world, I will do as you ask.

After saying this, Lin Fan jumped off the stone platform, used his torch to light the Eternal Lamp in front of the statues, and stood before them, bowing three times with great sincerity.

Thud.

Just as Lin Fan finished, a loud noise suddenly erupted from the front.

A hidden compartment in the stone platform slowly opened, and a scroll bearing the red Konoha emblem gradually rose up.

Whoosh, whoosh.

Two dazzling beams of blue light shot out from the red scroll, passed through the candlelight of the Eternal Lamp, and shone directly onto the two gray-white statues.

Could this be the chakra that Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju sealed within this scroll?

Lin Fan widened his eyes, finding it hard to believe.

He remembered clearly that in the original story, Minato used the Five Elements Seal to store Kushina's remaining chakra, which finally allowed mother and son to recognize each other after Naruto had grown up.

Watching that part of the original story had moved Lin Fan to tears.

Soon, the clear images of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju appeared before Lin Fan.

However, they appeared to be merely pre-recorded projections; Lin Fan could not directly converse with them.

"Hello there, little one. I am your First Hokage grandfather. By the time you see this precious recording, I, your First Hokage grandfather, must have long since passed away."

The kind and smiling face of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, immediately appeared in the projection.

"Big brother, you'd better shut your mouth already."

"The chakra we could seal in this scroll is very limited, yet you've been talking for ages without saying a single word that gets to the point."

Tobirama shot a glare directly at Hashirama and said coldly.

Lin Fan couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing their conversation.

Confirmed.

As expected, in front of his younger brother Tobirama, the God of Shinobi Hashirama Senju had absolutely no dignity to speak of.

Tobirama then took over the conversation, "Little one, to make a long story short, the fact that you could undo our seal proves that your character is quite pure."

"We two brothers are willing to entrust you with all the ninjutsu we learned throughout our lives and the combat experience we accumulated."

"I hope you will make proper use of them and be able to protect Konoha, which the two of us worked so hard to build."

"Keep at it; I hope the future of Konoha can be guarded by you."

Hashirama continued to say with a smile.

As soon as their voices faded, the figures of Hashirama and Tobirama on the statues vanished instantly.

Lin Fan then stepped forward to pick up the scroll and began to flip through it carefully.

Sure enough, besides detailed records of all the ninjutsu mastered by the First Hokage Hashirama and the Second Hokage Tobirama, the scroll also included their personal insights from various battles.

The content recorded on the scroll would definitely benefit Lin Fan immensely.

Isn't this so much better than those fake Scroll of Sealing?

The moment Lin Fan thought about how four out of the six forbidden techniques given by Hiruzen Sarutobi were fake, he immediately felt a surge of anger.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the tutorial mission. Reward: Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Lv1, Water Release: Water Wall Lv1, Water Release: Water Severing Wave Lv1.]

Lin Fan did not hesitate and immediately spent points to upgrade the three Water Release ninjutsu he had just acquired.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for upgrading Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet to LvMAX. Obtained 10% increase in Water Release affinity.]

[Ding, congratulations]

[]

After maxing out all three Water Release ninjutsu, Lin Fan put away the scroll and walked out of the residence while humming a tune.

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw three ninjas wearing cat masks staring at him coldly.

"Not bad, kid. Your Transformation Technique and Clone Technique are quite impressive; to think you had the three of us chasing a clone in circles through the forest."

The lead ninja's eyes were filled with intense killing intent as he looked at Lin Fan.

It turned out that Lin Fan had already noticed the three of them tailing him on his way to the Senju Compound.

Because he was in a rush to complete the tutorial mission, he had taken the opportunity while "using the restroom" to create a clone to confuse their vision.

His real body had transformed into a stone that the clone was casually tossing around, which he then discarded, allowing him to shake the three of them off.

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Are you Anbu sent by the Third to monitor me?"

The three of them shook their heads in unison.

"Then you must be from the Root. What does Danzo want with me?"

Lin Fan remained full of smiles, showing not a hint of panic.

The lead ninja with the cat mask let out a cold snort, "Hmph, at least you're knowledgeable. Our leader wants to invite you to the Root Base as a guest. I hope you'll cooperate and not force us to take action."

(Thank you all for your support. I'm taking a break today, so I'm posting this early after finishing it.)
