Itachi's Guardedness

Lin Yan's heart stirred slightly upon hearing Itachi's words.

The spiritual and physical energy is exceptionally vast, granting individuals unimaginable superhuman strength.

However, they were unable to refine Chakra.

Lin Yan did know one such person: Rock Lee, one of the Konoha Twelve.

Because he couldn't refine Chakra, Rock Lee was even once considered unsuitable to be a ninja.

But in the end, he still became a great ninja with great strength and expertise in taijutsu.

Lin Yan didn't speak again, because at this moment, he noticed that the thick fog around his body was getting bigger and bigger.

I can no longer see anything clearly beyond ten centimeters.

It was so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

They were completely enveloped by an incredibly dense spiritual energy.

At this moment, Lin Yan, who was sensing this special power, heard Itachi's voice ask, "You already know how to perceive spiritual energy, right?"

"Um..."

Naruto frowned deeply.

He had a very serious expression on his face.

Clearly, he was unaware of the spiritual energy within his body.

Sasuke, standing next to him, had a similar expression.

However, Sasuke's expression wasn't as serious as Naruto's, suggesting he had grasped the concept quite well.

As expected Sasuke said, "I felt it, brother..."

"But I don't seem to have much mental energy..."

Sasuke looked a little disappointed.

Lin Yan, who was standing nearby, smiled silently upon hearing this.

If we look at the entire Ninja World, Sasuke's Chakra reserves are indeed not that high.

In fact, he and Itachi are both types of people who have less blue (low rank/low energy).

Therefore, it is perfectly normal for Sasuke to feel that his mental energy is very low at this moment.

Lin Yan didn't say anything, but Itachi comforted her, saying, "You're still young, Sasuke."

"While the upper limits of mental and physical energy depend on innate factors, they can also increase with age."

"It's just like you're growing, there's nothing to worry about."

Just as Itachi finished speaking, Naruto suddenly exclaimed "Ah!"

This exaggerated, startled cry made Itachi open his eyes, and Lin Yan also looked at Naruto with a puzzled expression.

"I felt it! Itachi-nii!!"

Naruto excitedly shouted to Itachi, then immediately turned to look at Lin Yan.

"Uncle Lin!! I can feel it! Such intense spiritual energy..."

"It felt like I was surrounded by an endless, thick fog! It was amazing!"

After excitedly finishing speaking, Ming closed his eyes again and focused on feeling the sensations.

Hearing him say that, Sasuke felt a mix of resentment and envy.

Lin Yan smiled slightly, "It seems you have quite a bit of talent, Naruto."

In his heart, he was thinking that as the son of a genius like Minato Namikaze, and with the blood of the Uzumaki Clan flowing through his veins...

Naruto's mother, Kushina Uzumaki, was also a highly talented ninja.

It's fair to say that Naruto's genes are incredibly strong.

Furthermore, the Uzumaki Clan's bloodline is renowned for its powerful life force, or Chakra energy.

Therefore, it is entirely reasonable for him to possess such enormous spiritual energy, and it does not surprise or astonish Lin Yan in the slightest.

"Now that you have learned how to sense the spiritual energy within your body, try sensing the energy in your physical body."

"The key points and methods are the same as feeling spiritual energy. Relax and feel it with your heart..."

As Itachi spoke, he closed his eyes again, guiding Naruto, Sasuke, and Lin Yan into his inner domain.

For Lin Yan, this kind of thing was really not difficult at all.

Even though it was my first time trying this, it was surprisingly easy.

In an instant, he felt the energy within his body.

It was a similar feeling, but this time Lin Yan was no longer shrouded in thick fog, but bathed in incredibly intense sunlight.

It felt like being in the height of summer.

At that moment, Itachi's voice rang out once more.

"If you pay close attention to the energy within your body, you will find yourself feeling as if you are under the summer sun."

"Your body and mind will feel like they are being burned."

"This is because the body's energy itself is yang, it is the yang energy within a person's body..."

Itachi's words essentially confirmed Lin Yan's suspicions once again.

The intense light he felt at that moment was his body's energy at work.

So how do we combine them together?

Lin Yan then asked.

Upon hearing Lin Yan's question once again, Itachi was surprised once more.

"Have you already sensed it?"

"Yes, it's a very simple matter."

Lin Yan answered casually.

"What remarkable talent..."

Itachi secretly admired him.

However, he did not choose to reveal the method immediately, but instead opened his eyes and looked at Naruto and Sasuke.

"Neither of them seems to have fully grasped it yet."

"Once you two are familiar with sensing the spiritual and physical energy within your bodies, we will continue with the next stage of your cultivation."

Although Itachi said that, Lin Yan realized that he was deliberately being wary of her.

However, Lin Yan didn't pay any attention to it.

He simply smiled and nodded, "In that case, let's practice the Six Powers first."

"You're getting a little impatient, aren't you, Sasuke?"

Lin Yan smiled and looked at Sasuke, asking him a question.

Upon hearing this, Sasuke glanced at Itachi, and after receiving Itachi's tacit approval, he immediately nodded vigorously.

"Yes, I want to learn..."

After saying that, Sasuke looked at Naruto.

Perhaps he himself did not realize that the seed of becoming Naruto's rival was already being planted within his small body.

"In that case, let's begin."

Lin Yan smiled.

At this moment, Naruto volunteered, raising his hand and looking at Sasuke and Itachi: "Uncle Rin! Let me teach them!"

Seeing Naruto's eager expression, Lin Yan smiled and nodded, "Alright."

The best way to test whether someone has mastered a certain knowledge is to let them try to teach others.

If Naruto can accurately teach Itachi and Sasuke what he has learned, it means that he has truly mastered the basic concepts of the Six Powers.

Having received Lin Yan's nod, Naruto immediately turned around excitedly to look at Itachi and Sasuke.

"Hey Sasuke, the Six Powers consist of six combat skills. Which one do you want to learn first?"

Upon hearing Naruto's words, Sasuke's eyes immediately lit up.

Are there six types in total?

"I want to learn them all!"

"Learning six skills at once is very difficult, and I can't master them all at the same time!"

You need to learn to proceed step by step!

Naruto explained.

"So what combat skills are there in total?"

Sasuke immediately pressed for more information.
