In Konoha, you get one evolution point every day.

"Oh my god! I didn't see that wrong, did I? It seems like Lin Fan teleported to the location of the kunai!"

"You read that right! Brother Lin Fan really did it!"

"That's amazing! This is Lin Fan, the strongest, most talented, and most amazing guy in our class!!"

The noise in the classroom had nothing to do with Sugiyama Tomoji.

"Impossible, how is this possible? Is this still a substitution technique?" Sugiyama Satoshi grabbed his hair in disbelief, facing the biggest challenge of his teaching career.

In everyone's sight, Lin Fan instantly moved from the stand-in prop to the position of the kunai, about fifteen meters away.

Kakashi stared dumbfounded at the transformation technique on the Stand that resembled Lin Fan's, and then at Lin Fan appearing not far away.

No, is this some kind of ninjutsu? Even if electronic principles can accelerate movement, they can't possibly allow for instantaneous teleportation!

"How was it? My Substitution Jutsu." Kakashi was still in a daze when Lin Fan walked back.

"You, I, damn it!" Kakashi swore for the first time.

What was he thinking, trying to compete with Lin Fan in talent?! This guy is a monster!

He was certain that this technique was not one that could be learned temporarily.

and so.

"You already knew the Substitution Jutsu. Is it fun to play with me?" Kakashi said, breaking down in his defenses.

Especially when Lin Fan returned, the substitute prop still looked like Lin Fan. With two Lin Fans standing in front of Kakashi, it was really hard for this genius boy to hold back.

Lin Fan looked at his stand-in prop with curiosity, punched it, and it immediately turned back into a wooden board.

"I see, so it's only deactivated when attacked?"

Lin Fan thought of the word "consolidation" in the Substitute Technique of Evolution Data.

......

Next, Lin Fan demonstrated a perfect substitution jutsu that moved at the speed of light. Kakashi was completely stunned, and his idea that Lin Fan might have achieved it by chance or luck was completely shattered.

Sugiyama Tomoji was also at a loss, because he was the only one in the class who was certain that Lin Fan had never learned the Substitution Jutsu... unless the Hokage was lying to him.

......

After class, Sugiyama Tomoji ignored Lin Fan, whom many female classmates called "the handsome young man of the rabbit," and rushed to the Hokage Building to tell Sarutobi Hiruzen what had happened that day.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi first heard that Lin Fan had mastered the Substitution Jutsu so quickly, he thought, "Not bad, he's a genius. No wonder Jiraiya brought him back. Perhaps this child really is the child of prophecy foretold by the Great Toad Sage."

Upon hearing that Lin Fan used kunai in his Substitution Jutsu, he exclaimed, "Oh? This young man is quite something; he even knows how to use kunai as a Substitution Jutsu tool."

Hearing that Lin Fan used kunai to speed up his movement in his Substitution Jutsu, he said, "Hmm, that's a good idea. But Lin Fan hasn't learned Lightning Release. If we teach him Lightning Release in the future, maybe he can develop a new type of Substitution Jutsu."

Upon hearing Lin Fan use a kunai-based speed-up version of the Substitution Jutsu on the spot, and that the Substitution Jutsu could even maintain its effect almost identical to the original for several seconds, without using Lightning Release for the acceleration, Hiruzen Sarutobi silently formed a question mark in his mind: "?"

......

"So, you mean Lin Fan didn't use Lightning Release, but just inscribed his chakra on the kunai, and then he appeared at the kunai's location as if by teleportation?" Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile.

"Yes. I saw it with my own eyes. The whole class saw it. And Lin Fan used it twice." Sugiyama Tomoji's admiration for Sarutobi Hiruzen deepened when he saw that Hiruzen remained so calm.

As expected of the strongest Hokage of Konoha in this generation, he remained completely unfazed even when faced with such a bizarre situation.

After a few more words, Hiruzen Sarutobi dismissed Tomoji Sugiyama.

After Sugiyama Tomoji left, Sarutobi Hiruzen's smiling face turned into one of terror.

Are you kidding me! That kid clearly used the Flying Thunder God Technique!

If it weren't for a young man with spatial talent who recently mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, perhaps Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't have made the connection to this technique so quickly.

"Could it be Minato?" Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment and then realized.

Apart from Minato, no one can teach Lin Fanfei the Thunder God Technique.

As for whether the Substitute Technique can achieve the same effect as the Flying Thunder God Technique...

Just kidding, if this were a substitution technique, he'd eat this table.

Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi had the Anbu summon Minato.

He had to reprimand the other person. The Flying Thunder God Technique was a forbidden technique of the village. He had repeatedly told the other person not to teach it to others without permission when he taught it to him. And now, after only a little over a year, he's gotten arrogant? Are you the Hokage and I am the Hokage?

Minato, who was still researching the Rasengan, arrived at the Hokage's office.

"Hokage-sama, you wanted to see me?" Minato still showed Hiruzen Sarutobi respect.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was also very friendly to Minato, after all, he was Kushina's intended husband, Tsunade's brother-in-law, and Jiraiya's disciple.

So even knowing that the other person had done something wrong, his tone remained kind.

"Minato, do you remember what I said when I passed on the Flying Thunder God Technique to you?" He didn't mention it directly, wanting Minato to think about it himself.

Minato: "?"

What did they say?

Minato recalled that when he got the Flying Thunder God scroll, he was immediately attracted by its contents. He didn't really remember what the Hokage said.

"...Can't show it to others?" Minato thought carefully for a moment, and seemed to vaguely remember the Hokage saying this.

"Yes. The Flying Thunder God Scroll is a space-time ninjutsu that the Second Hokage painstakingly researched. It is considered the most complete forbidden technique in Konoha. In addition to its high difficulty in learning, there is also the risk of injury if one fails to learn it. No one has been able to learn this ninjutsu for so many years. The reason I am passing it on to you is because I have high hopes for you."

Of course, this is a lie.

If Minato hadn't been Kushina's intended husband and Jiraiya's disciple, he wouldn't have been qualified to obtain the scroll so early.

Learning the Flying Thunder God Technique is not something that can be mastered in just two or three years.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was unaware that Minato had actually learned it in just over three years and even used it in front of his own son.

At this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a low voice, "But since you know what I mean, why did you let Lin Fan see such an important scroll without the consent of your teacher and me?"

Minato, upon hearing this, was speechless.

What do you mean? I didn't give it to you?

Minato immediately said, "Hokage-sama, I didn't."

Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed angrily, "You didn't! He used it in front of a bunch of idiots in Ninjutsu class, and you still say you didn't!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed: "Minato, I don't like ninjas who lie."

He would prefer that Minato confess on his own initiative.

"But I really didn't!" Minato protested, explaining that he had been studying the Flying Thunder God Technique and new ninjutsu in his room these past few days, and had no time to take out the ninjutsu scrolls to lend to Lin Fan.

"? It really isn't you?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked in astonishment.

Minato nodded firmly, insisting, "It really wasn't me!"

Who the hell is that?!

Hiruzen Sarutobi sent chills down my spine.

Besides Minato and him, only... could access the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Suddenly, a person flashed through Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind.

It's you!

......

"What do you want with me?" Shimura Danzo was working on a secret project when he was suddenly summoned by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and he looked somewhat nervous.

It's you! It really is you!

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been in sync with Danzo for many years, immediately noticed that something was wrong with Danzo.

"You did it, didn't you?" Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a low voice, but his tone was full of certainty.

What? You found out about my plan before it even started?

Danzo Shimura began investigating who knew about this matter and who might be Hiruzen Sarutobi's informants.

But upon closer inspection, it seems not? Oh no! This spy was hiding so well!

Danzo Shimura felt somewhat uncomfortable.

But he tried his best to remain calm: "I don't understand. Hiruzen, just say what you want to say. I have other things to attend to."

Damn it! So what if the plan failed? It hasn't even started yet. Even if Hiruzen finds out, he'll definitely forgive him!

"Hmph! Still trying to deny it!" Having confirmed it wasn't Minato, and seeing Danzo's attitude, Hiruzen Sarutobi was almost certain Danzo was behind it: "Did you secretly give Lin Fan the Flying Thunder God Technique?! Do you know what you're doing?"

Giving such an important technique to Lin Fan, what if Lin Fan wants to attack Konoha? Who can stop him after he learns the Flying Thunder God Technique! Can you stop him, Danzo?

Danzo: "? I didn't!"

Damn it! Which son of a bitch dumped the blame on me?!

wrong.

Danzo suddenly calmed down.

"You're saying Lin Fan learned the Flying Thunder God Technique? When did this happen?!" Danzo exclaimed, his guard down.

Seeing Danzo's genuine expression, Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent: "..."

It wasn't him? Then how did Lin Fan learn it?

......
