Encountering Rock Lee

Lin Fan looked at Naruto, whose face was flushed red but who couldn't keep his hands off the magazine, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

He was well aware that the brats in the Naruto World were quite precocious.

Before transmigrating into the Naruto World, Lin Fan was only twelve years old, likely still glued to the television waiting to watch Pleasant Goat.

Snap!

After quickly flipping through the magazine, Naruto shut his eyes tight and pressed his palms together.

"Hehe, Big Brother Lin Fan, just watch me now—Transformation!"

A puff of white smoke appeared.

Yui-chan appeared with fair skin, a beautiful face, and long legs, wearing a white silk nurse outfit and holding a large syringe.

Her skin was white with a rosy glow, and the scene was quite spectacular.

Then, Naruto said in a coy, bashful voice, "Yamete, Lin Fan-kun, don't keep staring at me like that. You're making me shy. Be careful or I'll poke you with my needle!"

Lin Fan didn't have a nosebleed, nor was there any look of excessive surprise on his face.

After all, as a veteran enthusiast, he had already stayed up late studying and reviewing the educational materials featuring Yui-chan thoroughly before he transmigrated.

He simply nodded gently at Naruto and gave him a thumbs-up, signaling that he was a student worth teaching.

Although Naruto's Clone Technique was just as trashy as his own at this stage, he was truly a natural when it came to the Sexy Jutsu.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the introductory mission. Reward: Uzumaki Constitution Lv1.]

Lin Fan did not hesitate and immediately shouted in his mind: "Upgrade!"

[Congratulations to the host for raising Uzumaki Constitution to LvMAX. Obtained additional status: Chakra Control Amplification 100%.]

[Chakra Control Amplification 100% allows the host to gain stronger control over chakra as the number of times it is used increases. The amplification is achieved after using chakra 100 times.]

Lin Fan then felt a continuous stream of warmth spreading rapidly throughout his body from his navel, and he felt as though he had endless strength in every limb.

Interesting. Is this the unique physical change brought about by a max-level Uzumaki Constitution?

Lin Fan couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Hehe, Lin Fan, you really are a little genius. You must be hungry after spending all day busy gathering material for this Sexy Jutsu. Here, I packed you some Ichiraku Signature Chashu Ramen; eat it while it's hot."

Once Lin Fan came back to his senses, he saw Naruto, who had dispelled the transformation, looking at him with squinted eyes and a beaming smile.

Lin Fan took the time while eating the noodles to ask Naruto about the background of his current body in the Naruto World.

It turned out that Lin Fan, like Naruto, had lost his parents twelve years ago during the Nine-Tails Rebellion when they sacrificed themselves as ninjas to protect Konoha.

The two children, left without parents, had been neighbors and close friends since they could remember, as close as brothers.

Lin Fan was quite satisfied with this setting in the current Naruto World.

After all, in the original work, Naruto was ostracized and loathed by the villagers of Konoha as the Nine-Tailed Fox that brought misfortune.

He had never received the care he deserved during his childhood.

But Lin Fan's companionship along the way could bring a glimmer of comfort and warmth to Naruto's otherwise lonely childhood.

After finishing the delicious Ichiraku Signature Chashu Ramen, Lin Fan got up to say goodbye and prepared to return home.

Naruto didn't try to keep him; after all, he was planning to practice more so he could master the Sexy Jutsu and shock everyone.

Once Lin Fan returned home, he immediately shut the doors and windows.

The room was about the same size as the rental apartment he lived in before he transmigrated, though it was much cleaner and tidier than Naruto's place.

Lin Fan quickly checked his panel information. Now that he possessed the Uzumaki Constitution, his total chakra reserves had skyrocketed to between 99,000 and 100,000.

This was roughly the total amount of 100 Kakashi.

Therefore, having the ability to control such vast amounts of chakra was absolutely indispensable.

Lin Fan took the magazine, Detailed Guide to the Top 100 Teachers, out of the Other-Dimensional Scroll.

He would use the Transformation Jutsu to amuse himself while accumulating the chakra control amplification.

"Heh, Transformation!"

Poof, poof, poof!

[Successfully used Transformation Jutsu, consuming chakra. Chakra control amplification increased by 1%.]

"Hehe, it really works."

Lin Fan then performed it a few more times, and the amplification of his chakra control ability was indeed increasing bit by bit.

The chakra within his body still felt full, with no sense of strain whatsoever.

[Ding! Chakra control amplification 33%.]

[Ding! Chakra control amplification 66%.]

[Ding! Chakra control amplification 100%.]

Lin Fan spent the time transforming into every teacher featured in the magazine.

By the time he had maxed out his chakra control amplification to 100%, it was already late at night.

Exhausted, he finally drifted into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning.

The sun rose in the east, the first light of dawn breaking through.

Lin Fan got up, washed, and prepared to head out for training.

After all, he currently only possessed one C-rank Fire Style offensive ninjutsu and one B-rank Earth Style defensive ninjutsu.

He hadn't even mastered the three basic jutsu essential for every ninja.

Given his current strength, he was still far from being able to face true powerhouses.

Therefore, Lin Fan wanted to rapidly improve his strength before the main storyline arrived.

Beneath the Hokage Rock in Konoha, there was a vast forest, which was the best place for ninjas to train.

After improving his chakra control last night, Lin Fan could now easily gather chakra at the soles of his feet.

Whoosh!

After leaving his house, he leaped effortlessly onto a tree and then flew straight toward the edge of the forest.

"Hah, fifty more laps! Burn, my youth!"

Just as Lin Fan reached the edge of the forest, he heard a rather loud shout coming from not far away.

He saw a person with thick eyebrows, large eyes, a bowl cut, and a green full-body training suit.

The boy was walking rapidly around the large forest on his hands, training.

It was none other than one of the Konoha 12, Rock Lee.

A very passionate and inspirational youth in the Naruto World.

Although he could not use any ninjutsu or genjutsu, he had pushed his taijutsu to the absolute limit, eventually succeeding in joining the ranks of the Konoha 12.

After his stunning debut during the Chunin Exams in the original story, he had easily crushed the Second Pillar with his superior taijutsu strength.

In the eyes of Lin Fan, a fan of the Naruto World, if the kick that Guy-sensei delivered to Madara during the Fourth Great Ninja War—which nearly ended the series—had been delivered by Rock Lee instead, it would have made his unregrettable youth even more perfect.

However, the fact that Rock Lee was effectively sidelined after opening the sixth gate of the Eight Inner Gates in the later stages made Lin Fan sigh for this character.

This seemed to prove an unchanging truth in the Naruto World: hard work cannot beat talent, talent cannot beat bloodline limits, and bloodline limits cannot beat Talk no Jutsu.

As for himself, a cheater with a system, he wondered if he could just coast to victory in the ninja world?

Regardless, Lin Fan was quite happy to make friends with this simple, hardworking lad.

Just as he was about to climb down from the tree to greet Rock Lee, the system issued a new tutorial quest.

[Ding! Tutorial quest issued: Train alongside Rock Lee. Reward: Konoha Style Taijutsu Lv1]
