Looking at the ground, Lin Ye murmured to himself.

...

At noon, in the woods behind Konoha.

Lin Ye continued training with Matt Kai.

Today's goal is to run 100 laps. If I can't do that, I'll have to run 100 laps while doing a handstand.

"One, two, three... ninety-eight, ninety-nine."

"Kai, I really can't hold on any longer."

After saying that, Lin Ye collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

Matt Kai flashed his signature smile: "Lin Ye, have you forgotten self-discipline?"

"I haven't forgotten!"

Lin Ye gritted his teeth and muttered to himself.

"So-called self-discipline means deliberately putting a shackle on yourself when challenging certain difficulties, pushing yourself to the brink, and making rules that belong only to yourself."

It is precisely because of that constraint that you will face challenges seriously, and if you fail, you can rigorously train yourself by practicing that rule, enabling you to continuously improve. This is what self-discipline is all about.

"In that case, stand up again and do a hundred handstands."

"Okay, I'll give it my all!"

...

"One, two, three... ninety-eight, ninety-nine, one hundred!"

Four hours later.

Lin Ye finally fulfilled his promise.

At this point, he was so exhausted that he had no strength left.

He lay on the ground, panting heavily.

"Lin Ye, well done, you really didn't disappoint me."

Matt Kai gave a thumbs up.

"Come on, I'll treat you to braised pork."

"Haha! Eating together as a couple, that's what youth is all about!"

......

Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Itachi Uchiha approached Lin Ye.

"Uncle, school's closed today. We agreed you'd teach me ninjutsu."

"Let's go!"

After a while, the two arrived at the woods behind the mountain.

Itachi Uchiha eagerly asked, "Uncle, what are you going to teach me?"

“Itachi, the power of your Uchiha clan comes from your eyes. Once you awaken your eyes, your strength will increase by leaps and bounds. Therefore, I have no ninjutsu to teach you.”

Lin Ye looked at him intently.

"Eye?"

Itachi Uchiha scratched his head, a curious look on his face. Although he had often heard of the Sharingan, he didn't know much about the specifics.

"When you lose a friend or a loved one, you will awaken a power called the Sharingan, which protects you."

"Uncle, why must we lose something to awaken?"

"You'll find out in the future. When that time comes, I hope you can use the power of awakening to protect the people you love most."

"Uncle, I've got it."

Lin Ye smiled and patted his hair: "Itachi, although I can't teach you ninjutsu, I can teach you taijutsu."

"Physical skills? Are they very strong?"

"Of course it's stronger. It can not only make your body stronger, but also make your ninjutsu more flexible."

Seeing that he still didn't believe him, Lin Ye shouted, "The proud blue beast of Konoha, it's your turn to make your appearance!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a boy with a watermelon-shaped haircut leaped into the air.

He was radiating green light, exuding an extraordinary aura.

"Eight Gates Formation, Gate of View opens!"

"The Morning Peacock!!!"

In an instant, Might Guy unleashed countless high-speed straight punches at his surroundings, generating flames through friction with the air. He used the shockwaves and flames from striking the air to inflict devastating damage on his surroundings.

Moreover, these flames in the air resembled a peacock spreading its tail feathers.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, all the trees within a 50-meter radius were completely destroyed.

Fortunately, Lin Ye had Little Nine-Tailed Fox set up a barrier beforehand, which prevented it from attracting the attention of the Dark Division.

"Sigh~"

"What terrifying power!"

Itachi Uchiha trembled slightly, his eyes filled with fear.

This level of destructive power was unlike anything he had ever witnessed in his life.

Lin Ye was also startled; its power was no less than that of Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.

"Cough cough!"

"Itachi, now you know how powerful taijutsu is, right?"

"Um... Uncle, I want to learn martial arts."

Itachi Uchiha nodded vigorously.

Lin Ye was very pleased. The reason he had Itachi learn taijutsu was actually for the sake of Itachi's health, so that he could live a few more years.

"Kai, thank you for your hard work."

Lin Ye walked up to the panting Matt Kai.

"Hoo hoo~ Don't forget, 100 jin of braised pork."

"Haha! You'll get your share."

...

At night, Lin Ye returned home.

Lying in bed, I fell into thought.

To obtain the power of the other eight tailed beasts, one must travel to the other four Shadow Villages, but the distances between them are too far.

If a ninja were to walk, it would take at least three days and three nights, and six days just for the round trip.

Moreover, it's very dangerous; if you encounter a Kage-level opponent, you might not make it back.

"Ah! If only I could learn the Flying Thunder God Technique."

Lin Ye sighed.

...

The next day, at the noodle shop.

Lin Ye was overjoyed; his wish had come true, and Jiraiya, whom he hadn't seen for many days, appeared.

"Perverted sage, what's the matter? Do you perhaps still want Tsunade's doujinshi?"

"Cough cough!"

"Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Jiraiya coughed lightly.

The next second, he chuckled: "It's like this, this immortal is planning to write a book, but after writing for several months, I still feel unsatisfied, so I wanted to ask for your opinion."

"Oh, what a coincidence! I recently wrote a book too. If it's published, it will definitely make me famous in the five great nations."

Lin Ye said exaggeratedly.

Is it really that good-looking?

Jiraiya immediately became interested.

"If you don't believe me, that's fine too."

"Haha! What do you want now, kid?"

"Flying Thunder God Technique!"

"Okay, deal!"

Jiraiya replied without hesitation.

He didn't believe Lin Ye could learn it, after all, the Flying Thunder God Technique requires a talent for space-time, and in all the years of Konoha, only the Second Hokage and Minato Namikaze have learned it.

Moreover, it would be even better if they could learn it, as that would be a great help to Konoha.

Of course, he also kept a trick up his sleeve; the Flying Thunder God Technique he provided was a one-time use technique that would disappear after it was used.

...

It's been a busy day.

Lin Ye handed the other party a book called "Love of Ice".

The content mainly tells stories about police officers.

"Oh my god! This...this book is so good!"
