In Konoha, you get one evolution point every day.

Just as Jiraiya said, Lin Fan discovered after that day that three of the people monitoring him had disappeared, leaving only one.

He actually knew that Konoha was monitoring him, but some things were better left unsaid.

"How could this happen? How could this happen?"

After that day, Minato noticed that Jiraiya was saying the same thing every day.

"Jiraiya-sensei, there shouldn't be any problem with Lin Fan becoming Tsunade's disciple, right? After all, Lady Tsunade doesn't have any disciples right now."

Jiraiya shook his head: "You don't understand."

He only told Tsunade, Orochimaru, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Nagato about the prophesied child becoming his disciple.

Minato had originally planned to discuss this further in the future, but now that he thought about it, Minato's learning progress with the Flying Thunder God Technique was very fast, and he would probably be able to apply it in actual combat soon.

"Actually, the teacher has always had a secret..."

Jiraiya told Minato, who was about 14 years old, about the prophecy concerning the Great Toad Sage.

Minato was somewhat astonished after hearing this.

The Child of Prophecy? The One Who Will Change the World?

"So, the reason Jiraiya-sensei forcibly kept Mr. Lin Fan was to make him the child of prophecy?"

"That's right, Minato. It's a pity that the kid actually became Tsunade's apprentice."

Jiraiya let out a sigh.

Minato thought for a moment and said, "But the Great Toad Sage didn't say that the Child of Prophecy could only have one master, did he?"

Jiraiya's expression paused slightly.

"If what the Great Toad Sage said is true, then I might also become the Child of Prophecy?" Minato joked, pointing to himself.

"That makes sense..." Jiraiya scratched his head, but according to Minato's statement, it seems he can continue to take Lin Fan as his disciple, so Lin Fan may still be the child of prophecy... Alright!

"Minato, you're right." Jiraiya made up his mind. "I'll try again and see if I can soften that kid's tone."

Minato was ashamed; he really couldn't do anything about Jiraiya's insistence.

"Good luck, Jiraiya-sensei. If there's nothing else, I've recently thought of a ninjutsu that I need to research, so I'll take my leave now."

"Okay, go ahead!" Jiraiya waved and headed excitedly toward the Ninja Academy.

......

"Taking on an apprentice?" Lin Fan thought Jiraiya had given up on him, but he didn't expect this guy to actually follow him to the school.

Lin Fan pondered for a moment and said, "Then can you teach me the spirit communication techniques of Mount Myōboku?"

As for Jiraiya, aside from being interested in the Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku, he had nothing else to say.

"What? How did you know... Oh! It must have been Tsunade who told you. Damn it, that old woman just blurted everything out." Jiraiya seriously suspected that Tsunade had already given Lin Fan the summoning contract for Shikkotsu Forest.

Alright, alright, since that's the case, then I won't hide it anymore.

He gritted his teeth.

"Alright! As long as you become my disciple, I will pass on the Summoning Contract of Mount Myōboku to you."

Good heavens, he hasn't even passed on this legacy to Minato yet, and now he's already passing it on to Lin Fan.

Seeing how serious Jiraiya was, Lin Fan agreed.

The two arrived at the riverbank.

"Then, Jiraiya, you can teach me now."

Jiraiya: "?"

"Shouldn't you call me teacher or master?" Jiraiya pointed to himself in disbelief. He was about to pass on his most important spiritual transmission to Lin Fan, but Lin Fan was still unwilling to call him teacher.

"But I didn't call her Tsunade-sensei," Lin Fan said matter-of-factly.

You expect me to call you teacher after all this talk of making a deal? You're not even as good as Sugiyama Tomoji.

Jiraiya was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

"Summoning Jutsu!" Jiraiya summoned a scroll with many names written on it, the earliest of which was "Otsutsuki Hagoromo".

"Shocking, isn't it?" Seeing Lin Fan looking at the name, Jiraiya put his hands on his hips and said smugly, "That name is the Sage of Six Paths' name. I heard it from the Great Toad Sage."

"Oh," Lin Fan replied casually, then used the red ballpoint pen that came with the scroll to write his name in the blank space.

What?! This kid is so calm!

Jiraiya's lips twitched slightly. He almost burst with joy when he heard that Mount Myōboku, the place he had formed a contract with, had the legacy of the Sage of Six Paths.

"This kid really does have the potential to be a prophet!"

......

After signing the contract, Lin Fan felt as if he had formed a connection with something.

"How do I form the hand seals for the summoning technique?" Lin Fan wanted to try it out, but then he remembered that he didn't know how to summon.

Jiraiya slapped his forehead and quickly began to instruct.

"The hand seals for summoning are..."

......

The lecture lasted about five minutes. Besides hand seals, it covered some important points to note about psychic techniques, as well as methods for quick psychic communication.

Lin Fan nodded slightly and decisively chose to bite his finger.

Ugh! My teeth!

Lin Fan felt like he had bitten into a piece of iron.

"Damn! How could he forget to improve the quality of his teeth!"

Although his teeth remain healthy and free of cavities due to improvements in several indicators, the upper limit of teeth is ultimately within the range of human beings.

Even with the enhancement of chakra, at most it would only make the teeth less likely to break.

But biting into something harder than yourself is still a bit unpleasant.

"Thank goodness I used chakra to enhance my strength, otherwise my teeth would have been loose."

Lin Fan thought to himself and opened his evolution system.

Evolution Point: 8

[Teeth: 1]

"use!"

Evolution points decrease by 1, evolution data increases by 1 item.

"Teeth Evolution +1": "Your teeth are slightly stronger."

"not enough."

Feeling the slight changes in his teeth, Lin Fan shook his head inwardly.

This intensity is still too low.

"Teeth Evolution +1" → "Teeth Evolution +2": "Your teeth are significantly stronger, and they will regenerate on their own when damaged, although the recovery speed is relatively slow."

That's about it.

Seeing that he had 5 evolution points left, Lin Fan used chakra to strengthen his teeth and bit his finger... Well, now it's not painful to bite his finger, but he still can't break his skin.

Jiraiya, who remained slightly silent as he watched this scene, thought, "..."

Bloodstains? Steel Release? But even bloodstains should require ninjutsu to maintain their appearance, right? Is he a natural-born steel man?

"I'm so angry!" Lin Fan cursed inwardly. He used to be afraid of his defenses being broken, but now he wanted to break his defenses but couldn't.

Seeing Lin Fan pull out the kuwu, Jiraiya quickly stopped him:

"Lin Fan, don't worry, it's okay if you don't bite your fingers."

"Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Lin Fan silently withdrew his kunai.

Jiraiya was sweating.

He thought to himself, "You didn't ask, did you?"

"After all, this is your first time using the summoning technique. I was thinking of having you bite your finger to summon the spirit so that you could succeed on the first try," Jiraiya said helplessly. But he didn't expect Lin Fan to have such a constitution.

correct!

Several days later, Jiraiya remembered that the Chaotic Lion Technique he used to release water in the cave that day had not harmed Lin Fan. At the time, he thought he had missed.

Now that I think about it carefully, Lin Fan couldn't have avoided that distance at all.

Hai → Xu → You → Shen → Wei!

Lin Fan completed the hand seals and slammed his hand onto the ground!

"Spiritual communication!"
