2. Little Whale's second takeaway from reading fanfiction: The protagonist's name is often nonsensical; using a Chinese name in a Japanese anime fanfic is the most immersion-breaking thing possible.

The protagonist can never become the protagonist; that's impossible in this lifetime!

Suifeng told himself.

Protagonists need to endure hardships, but Suifeng expressed his resistance to hardship.

Protagonists need to have noble qualities, face life with a smile, be full of passion, and be a sunny, happy boy. Suifeng expressed that his blood has been out for too long, so it's a bit cold!

Protagonists have high charisma and good bros, but Suifeng expressed that his orientation is normal; he doesn't do "bromance"!

So, how could I possibly become a protagonist? I'm just cheating.

"Lava Release is good stuff. The fusion of Earth and Fire attributes makes the developed ninjutsu more powerful than ordinary ones!"

In this world of cheats, Kekkei Genkai are also divided into several levels, and most of them are not as strong or advantageous as one might imagine.

Especially this kind of Kekkei Genkai formed by the fusion of chakra attributes; although strong, it hasn't reached that unattainable level.

Everyone has extraordinary power. You can control magma, I can control fire—how much of a difference can there really be?

You can create ice, I can control water—the gap isn't that big either.

How much difference is there between Storm Release and Lightning Release?

It's not enough to reach the point of despair.

You're telling me there's also Wood Release?

That thing the First Hokage used isn't called Wood Release; it's called Sage Art plus Sage Body plus Wood Release...

And there's Dust Release!

Please, that's not a limit; that's an elimination!

You can't say this kind of chakra-fusion Kekkei Genkai has no advantage, but this advantage is not absolute; it can be bridged through effort and talent.

So, it's a happy event, but not enough to make him overjoyed.

It just adds another tool to his arsenal and makes his body a bit stronger; at least, he won't be lacking chakra in the future.

"So, strictly speaking, it's not as useful to me as Iron Body!"

Iron Body is a general taijutsu, but Lava Release is not. Many ninjutsu need to be developed by oneself, and looking at the entire Naruto series, Lava Release ninjutsu are few and far between. Why so few? Because there are few people with this Kekkei Genkai. When there are few people, the developed ninjutsu are naturally scarce. Do you think Suifeng will have much time in the future to specifically study this Kekkei Genkai and develop ninjutsu for it?

What are you thinking?

With that time, it would be better to strengthen his Sharingan or study his Zanpakuto, Red Ghost!

Having figured this out, Suifeng didn't feel much excitement.

"Regardless, I still have to report it and let that old guy be happy. The happier he is, the more benefits I get!"

...I am a dividing line...

Konoha, Security Department.

Inside the training ground, the Fushan squad, having just finished their patrol mission, was training.

Although Suifeng had taken leave, the work of the Security Department was far less dangerous than executing missions outside, and there weren't that many errands. In peacetime, and within the village, Suifeng's absence didn't make much of a difference.

"Bang, bang!"

In the training ground, two figures touched and separated. Hideki rolled on the ground like a tumbling gourd several times before standing up, rubbing his aching butt and saying, "Captain Fushan, you're too ruthless!"

"I've told you many times, you are just a Chunin! As a Chunin, don't think about messy things like ninjutsu during high-speed combat. Your hand seal speed is too slow; it can't keep up with the pace of battle at all!" Fushan said with a straight face. "You have to adapt to the ninja's way of fighting, otherwise, you won't survive two days on the battlefield!"

"Yes, Captain, I understand!"

Hideki lowered his head.

The ninja squad system is very peculiar. Most of the time, the captain's role is both leader and master, acting as a semi-mentor. While leading the team, they are also responsible for the team's training and guiding lower-level ninjas. Of course, this is not a formal apprenticeship; only when the captain fully recognizes the team member and their compatibility is high will a formal apprenticeship occur, such as the relationship between the Third Hokage and the Sannin, or the Fourth Hokage and Kakashi.

Speaking of which, that guy Kakashi is no good either. The Fourth Hokage was his master, and he had some status in the village. It's not like he didn't know Naruto's identity, yet he watched Naruto grow up in such an environment. Just for this, Suifeng looked down on that guy.

Don't give me that nonsense about orders from the Hokage; that's just bull... (I won't say much more about the rant).

In the Fushan squad, the three of them were currently just members under Fushan, not his disciples, even though Suifeng always respectfully called him "Teacher."

However, Suifeng didn't know that Fushan very much wanted to take him as a disciple now, but he wasn't sure if the Great Elder would agree, so he had been hesitating.

"Teacher Fushan, you're all here!"

"Suifeng, why are you back? Wasn't it supposed to be two more days?!" Haku, standing to the side, asked curiously.

"My new taijutsu is finished!" Suifeng grinned.

"Oh?!"

Fushan raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

Suifeng had previously explained his concept and the effects of [Iron Body] to him in detail. In his view, it was very creative, but he didn't think Suifeng could succeed.

As a Jonin, he had also privately tested Suifeng's concept and found that this method could indeed increase defense, and if refined, the improvement in defense would be considerable. However, the consumption was too high, and there was one point he didn't say out loud: ninja combat is basically about speed; who stands there and lets themselves be hit? Developing this kind of technique specifically to improve one's defense was somewhat counterproductive.

However, he did not oppose Suifeng's act of developing taijutsu. Suifeng was just a child, having just turned seven, and was at an age full of passion. Letting him experience more failures and setbacks would naturally make him understand, and these failures and setbacks would become the nourishment for his growth, just like the first time he lost to Kakashi.

That failure did not defeat him; instead, it made him even stronger.

If only he could experience such failures a few more times, but what was this he heard now?

He had actually succeeded in developing it!

Had he really succeeded?

Fushan narrowed his eyes slightly, and in the next instant, he suddenly flashed forward.

BANG!!

With a dull thud, Suifeng's body was sent flying. He flipped twice in the air before landing on the ground, stumbling back several steps before finally steadying himself.

"Teacher Fushan, you actually ambushed me!!" he complained indignantly.

"Not bad taijutsu!"

Fushan laughed, "Much stronger than I imagined!"

Just a moment ago, he had launched a surprise attack on Suifeng, striking his lower abdomen with a punch. Although he hadn't used his full strength, it was still comparable to a standard strike from a Chunin. Yet, this punch felt as if he had struck solid rock; not only did it fail to achieve the intended effect, but it also left his hand aching.

This spoke volumes.

A Chunin's punch could shatter stone, which meant that even if Suifeng's defensive taijutsu hadn't reached the hardness of a true Iron Body, it was still tougher than ordinary rock. Most importantly, there was the speed.

In a battle of speed, if such taijutsu could not be executed instantaneously, it would be utterly meaningless. It seemed he had achieved instant activation, or perhaps he had simply been prepared.

"Of course, look who I am!" Suifeng tilted his head triumphantly. He had successfully blocked Fushan's punch, but it wasn't as simple as it appeared on the surface; his lower abdomen was throbbing with pain. Had it not been for Iron Body, he would likely be lying on the ground, unable to move.

SWISH!!

But before he could revel in his triumph for long, Fushan charged at him again.

"Again!" Suifeng yelped.

BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG--

Another series of impacts rang out. Fushan's figure flashed repeatedly around Suifeng. Every time he appeared, a dull thud followed. Suifeng could not keep up with his speed at all, forced to stand there blocking and dodging, appearing incredibly clumsy. He was simply being beaten!
