Konoha Style Taijutsu is a discipline that any ninja of Konoha can learn and utilize.

In the original work, it is primarily showcased through the master-student duo of Might Guy and Rock Lee.

The core techniques involve high-speed leaps or rotations of the body, followed by the use of powerful leg strength to deliver precise strikes to the opponent.

Though they may appear simple and unadorned, every single move is highly practical.

After receiving the mission, Lin Fan immediately went to find Rock Lee.

Following a friendly greeting, the two quickly became acquainted.

Lin Fan then mimicked his posture, placing his hands on the ground and beginning to walk around the forest.

After completing 50 laps around the edge of the forest, they ended their training and drank heartily by the stream.

"Lin Fan, you're a good one. As long as you keep working hard like this, you will eventually become a great ninja."

"This is what Master Might Guy said to me the first time we met, and now I am passing these words on to you!"

After saying this, Rock Lee opened his mouth to reveal his signature white teeth and gave Lin Fan a thumbs-up.

"Thank you, I will definitely work hard."

Lin Fan nodded in gratitude.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the introductory mission. Reward: Konoha Style Taijutsu Lv1.]

"Let's call it a day for now. I need to meet up with my teammates for a mission, but I look forward to training with you again in the future."

After bidding farewell to Rock Lee, Lin Fan immediately allocated points to upgrade the newly acquired Konoha Style Taijutsu.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for upgrading Konoha Style Taijutsu to LvMAX. Obtained additional status: Taijutsu Affinity +50%.]

[Taijutsu Affinity +50% allows the host to conserve stamina while unleashing the full, formidable power of taijutsu.]

Lin Fan quickly mastered all the techniques of Konoha Style Taijutsu.

After finishing his training, Lin Fan flew home, intending to take a shower and change into clean clothes.

Just as he reached his front door, Lin Fan noticed a note left by Naruto tucked into the door frame.

It stated that he was going to school with Sakura in the morning and told Lin Fan not to wait for him.

"Pah, simp!"

Lin Fan muttered softly after reading the note.

However, his anger quickly turned to joy.

He felt this was for the best; if Naruto and Sakura were getting closer, wouldn't that give him an opportunity with the shy, white-eyed girl, Hinata?

After a quick shower and changing into clean clothes, Lin Fan bought some dango at a shop downstairs and ate while walking toward the Ninja Academy.

As soon as he stepped into the classroom, he saw many familiar faces from the original story.

Sasuke, sitting in the front row with an indifferent expression, putting on a cool act.

Shikamaru, currently slumped over his desk, fast asleep.

Choji, the big guy, stuffing a handful of potato chips into his mouth.

Kiba Inuzuka, with his cute dog Akamaru always perched on his head.

And Hinata, sitting in the corner of the classroom, her face flushed, her index fingers twirling against each other.

When Lin Fan appeared at the classroom door—already nearly 1.8 meters tall at the age of 12 and exceptionally handsome—it immediately caused a stir among his classmates.

"Wow, it's Lin Fan!"

"He's like a handsome man stepped out of a manga; he's so handsome it's suffocating."

"Handsome, why don't you stop sitting next to Naruto and sit on my lap during class instead?"

"Lin Fan, you should just sit by me; my thighs are thicker than theirs!"

"Hehe, Wide-Forehead, don't you think Lin Fan is handsome?"

Ino looked at Lin Fan with heart-shaped eyes, speaking like a lovesick girl to her seatmate, Sakura.

"Hmph, no matter how handsome he is, he's still a dead-last who can barely refine any chakra. I still prefer the cool, handsome, and powerful Sasuke."

Sakura shook her head and said.

After all, her encounter at the bathhouse yesterday clearly left her with no good impression of Lin Fan.

Lin Fan paid no mind to the lovesick girls and walked straight to the back row to sit next to Naruto.

"I didn't even need to look up to know it was Lin Fan. Those girls' voices are truly piercing!"

Shikamaru slowly climbed up from his desk, speaking lazily with a sleepy tone.

Crunch, crunch.

"There's nothing to be done about that. Who told Lin Fan to be the best-looking and most easygoing among our Truant Five? It's only natural he's popular!"

"Lin Fan is only a bit weak in strength; otherwise, he would definitely have more fan girls in our school than Sasuke."

Choji said, revealing the truth while fiercely chewing on his potato chips.

Lin Fan's lips curled into a faint smile, though he remained silent.

After all, he had spent several hours meticulously sculpting his face with a modifier before starting the game.

Naturally, his art style was leagues above theirs.

Upon hearing Choji's words, Naruto couldn't help but lower his head in dejection.

His close friend Lin Fan, with whom he spent every waking moment, was popular wherever he went, yet he himself had always been ostracized and loathed by the villagers; a hint of bitterness inevitably welled up in his heart.

Seeming to sense Naruto's thoughts, Lin Fan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged, Naruto. You must practice diligently, one step at a time. Sooner or later, you will surely earn the recognition of the villagers and successfully become Hokage!"

Naruto nodded vigorously. "Thank you, Big Brother Lin Fan. I will definitely work hard."

"Lin Fan, I heard you created a great Transformation Jutsu yesterday. Can you show us?"

Kiba Inuzuka, who had been silent until now, asked excitedly.

"Lin Fan, don't you dare tell this dog-playing simpleton. This jutsu is a little secret between the two of us," Naruto interjected, seizing the conversation.

"Naruto, who are you calling a dog-playing simpleton? Do you believe I'll set Akamaru on you?"

Kiba gritted his teeth in anger.

"Oh, oh, he's triggered, he's triggered."

Naruto grinned.

Ding-dong, ding-dong.

The joyful time before class passed quickly, and after the bell rang, Iruka walked in with his teaching materials.

"Students, we have five days left until the graduation exam. We must make every second count, so we will review theory this morning, and this afternoon we will head to the training ground for one-on-one combat practice."

"Alright, let's begin class!"

The review material Iruka covered throughout the morning consisted entirely of dull and tedious knowledge and techniques regarding survival in the wild.

The content Lin Fan actually wanted to learn—the Three Body Technique—was not touched upon.

Finally, after school let out at noon, Iruka left after outlining the requirements for the afternoon's combat session.

"Guys, did any of you take notes on the Three Body Technique? I want to review it before the graduation exam."

After class, Lin Fan asked the four people around him.

"The Three Body Technique? Isn't that the most basic compulsory course for a ninja? I mastered it when I first entered the academy, so I didn't take any notes," Shikamaru said, shaking his head.

"Same here."

The other three echoed his sentiment.

It seemed the Three Body Technique was taught right after entering the ninja academy.

He had transmigrated just a little too late.

Lin Fan felt somewhat helpless.

It looked like he would have to ask someone else for guidance.

After bidding the four farewell, Lin Fan prepared to seek instruction from Iruka.

"Lin... Lin Fan-kun."

Just as he was about to step out of the classroom, he heard a timid voice calling him from behind.

Lin Fan turned around to see none other than the adorable Hinata.

Her face was flushed red, and she was holding a fragrant, heart-shaped bento box in her hands.
