Genius vs. Dead Last

Lin Fan looked at Hinata with a gentle expression.

Her jet-black, short-fringed hair rested neatly against her fair, round face.

Her large, white eyes looked incredibly adorable and naive, and her lips were as pink and alluring as a newborn strawberry.

Lin Fan smiled as he looked at the bento box in her hands. "Hinata, is this prepared for me?"

Hinata nodded obediently. "Yes... I saw that you only ate soy sauce rice balls for lunch, so... so I prepared this especially for you."

Lin Fan's smile deepened. "Hinata, why are you so good to me?"

"Because in the winter when I was six, you protected me, so..."

Before she could finish, Hinata lowered her head, overcome with shyness.

Lin Fan understood instantly; it seemed he had stolen Naruto's script back when he was a child.

"Thank you. In that case, I won't stand on ceremony. Let's go find a place outside to eat."

Lin Fan affectionately flicked Hinata's small nose, then took her hand and walked out of the classroom.

At this moment, with her hand held by Lin Fan, Hinata's face was as red as a steam engine.

"Lin... Lin Fan, I brought my own rice balls. Maybe I shouldn't disturb your lunch time?"

Hinata said, looking shy.

Lin Fan shook his head firmly. "I can't let you just eat rice balls. Come with me; I have something good to give you."

Seeing Lin Fan's determined look, Hinata stopped refusing and followed behind him, looking blissful.

In the Naruto World, there were certainly no shortage of beautiful women.

For instance, the cold and elegant Mei Terumi with her long legs.

The busty "Big Sheep" Tsunade Senju.

Or the super-rich Konan, who had likely embezzled a fortune from Kakuzu, and so on.

But Lin Fan had watched Hinata grow up since she was little, and his affection for her was the highest among all the women in the Naruto World.

He held Hinata's small hand and walked straight out of the school building.

It turned out that the Konoha shown in the original work was merely the tip of the iceberg.

The grounds of the Ninja Academy alone were incredibly vast.

The two walked to a quiet, scenic spot by the water and mountains in a corner of the school and sat down.

Lin Fan couldn't wait to open the bento box.

On top of the fluffy rice lay a pebble-sized grilled sausage.

Underneath the rice was Hinata's carefully handcrafted secret beef sauce.

On either side of the sausage sat a heart-shaped, soft-boiled egg.

The aroma of the bento immediately whetted Lin Fan's appetite.

Hinata then said timidly, "I... I just don't know if what I made suits your taste."

Lin Fan took a bite of the sausage, the juices filling his mouth.

He then wore a look of complete satisfaction. "It's delicious! To thank you for the bento, I have something tasty for you too!"

He opened the Other-dimensional Scroll and took out a few boxes of Self-heating Hot Pot.

"What is this?"

Hinata looked at the vacuum-sealed Self-heating Hot Pot, her large, naive eyes filled with curiosity.

"Hehe, just wait a few minutes and it'll be ready."

Lin Fan added lake water to the hot pot, and it began to bubble and steam.

Ten minutes later, the fragrance of the hot pot wafted through the air.

Hinata picked up her chopsticks and placed a rice cake stick into her mouth.

"Hoo hoo, it's so big, so chewy, so soft, so delicious!"

Hinata ate the hot rice cake stick with her cheeks puffed out, praising it repeatedly.

"Eat slowly, watch out for the heat. I have other flavors of Self-heating Hot Pot here, too."

Lin Fan said with a smile.

Just like that, the two stayed together, enjoying the lunch they had shared.

After finishing their meal, they sat opposite each other under a large tree by the lake to rest.

Hinata suddenly remembered something, took a somewhat worn but very clean notebook from her pocket, and handed it to Lin Fan.

"Lin... Lin Fan-kun, I heard you say you wanted to review the Three Body Techniques. These... these are the notes I took. If you don't mind, please take them to study!"

Lin Fan felt as if he had found a treasure and began to flip through it carefully.

Hinata's notebook not only clearly recorded the hand signs for the Three Body Techniques, but also used diagrams to mark the key points and difficult areas.

With this notebook in hand, Lin Fan had no trouble quickly mastering the Three Body Techniques.

He immediately gave Hinata a joyful bridal carry.

One had to realize that this was the first time Hinata had ever been this intimate with a boy.

Brother Lin Fan not only held her little hand, but he also took the initiative to carry her bridal style?

Hinata felt a wave of dizzying bliss rush straight to her brain.

The next moment, everything went black, and she fainted right into Lin Fan's arms.

"Hinata, wake up!"

Lin Fan shook his head helplessly.

So it's true that Hinata really did faint often when she was little.

Lin Fan hurriedly carried Hinata to rest under a large tree, then sat beside her to study the Three Body Techniques notes in earnest.

Hinata's notes were incredibly detailed, and he managed to master these three most fundamental ninja arts during the lunch break.

Once Lin Fan learned them, he didn't hesitate to start adding points.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for upgrading Clone Technique to LVMAX, gaining the additional status: Clone Technique Amplification 50%.]

[Clone Amplification 50% allows the host to create up to ten clones that are identical to the original, making them indistinguishable to enemies, with all clones possessing half the strength of the original.]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for upgrading Transformation Technique to LVMAX, gaining the additional status: Transformation Amplification 100%.]

[Transformation Amplification 100% allows the host's transformation to be perfectly identical to the target, making it indistinguishable to enemies, and extends the duration of the transformation state by one hour.]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for upgrading Substitution Technique to LVMAX, gaining the additional status: Substitution Amplification 100%.]

[Substitution Amplification 100% allows the host to perform a rapid substitution with nearby objects using only one-tenth of the time required for a standard Substitution Technique.]

After finishing the upgrades, Lin Fan rested Hinata's sleeping head on his shoulder and smiled with satisfaction.

Afternoon classes began.

The upcoming session was a 1v1 combat training lesson led by Iruka.

The whole class gathered on the training grounds.

The first match was Naruto Uzumaki versus Kiba Inuzuka.

"Hehe, Kiba, let me show you the strongest Transformation Technique in history, created by Big Brother Lin Fan and improved by me, dattebayo!"

Naruto said with great pride.

Iruka stood to the side, nodding with a smile. Naruto, are you finally going to show the results of your silent, hard training?

"Hah, Human Imitation Tactics!"

Kiba Inuzuka let out a low shout, and Akamaru on his head transformed into Kiba's appearance.

As the match started, the two Kibas swung their fists rapidly from left and right, charging straight at Naruto.

Naruto, however, remained unhurried; he pressed his palms together and shouted.

"Transformation!"

A puff of white smoke drifted by.

Teacher Sora, wearing nothing at all, appeared on the training ground amidst the white smoke.

"Kiba-sama, I'm just a girl, you shouldn't be so fierce when dealing with me!"

The entire crowd was shocked!

Stiff!

Petrified!

The male students stared wide-eyed, shouting "Sugoi!"

The female students blushed, squinting their eyes while secretly peeking at this very busty, pretty sister.

Iruka's nose immediately erupted in a fountain of blood. "Naruto, don't create such incredibly boring ninjutsu!"

Kiba Inuzuka and Akamaru both stopped their attacks in a daze, silently bleeding from their noses as well.

Naruto quickly dispelled the transformation and punched both Kiba and Akamaru directly in the nose.

The boy and his beast were unable to dodge in time, taking the hits and collapsing to the ground.

Once the Human Imitation Tactics were dispelled, Kiba immediately conceded.

Although Iruka didn't want to admit it, this technique was truly effective for ambushing male enemies.

He then said with some annoyance, "The winner of the first match, Naruto Uzumaki!"

"Next match, Choji Akimichi versus Shikamaru Nara!"

Shikamaru yawned and said indifferently, "Tch, what a drag, I forfeit."

Shikamaru and Choji were close friends, and their fathers, as members of the original Ino-Shika-Cho, were equally close.

Therefore, such a boring training duel couldn't pique any of Shikamaru's interest.

He only needed to barely pass at the Ninja Academy to graduate smoothly.

Iruka also understood Shikamaru's personality and true thoughts, so he did not push him too hard.

The winner, Choji Akimichi!

The third match, Sasuke Uchiha versus Lin Fan!

Upon hearing the third training match, the students in the classroom erupted into an uproar.

Pitting a genius against a dead last—isn't that just bullying?

Although Lin Fan is handsome, he is the class's bona fide dead last. I heard he doesn't even have much chakra in his body; isn't Sasuke guaranteed to win?

Sigh, I'm not watching. I don't want to see handsome Lin Fan's face get beaten swollen by someone else!

Hearing that their good friend Lin Fan was about to face the powerful Sasuke, the Four Truant Kings couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for him.
