Lin Nian is in great pain right now, an unbearable pain.

Because he suddenly realized that these two Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto were not ordinary Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto.

They had a detailed understanding of their future, the path they should take, which enemies they could let go, which old bastards they had to kill, which strangers they could use, and which strangers they had to treat kindly.

Who are some friends you can entrust your life to? What acts of kindness must be repaid with a lifetime of gratitude? You already have enough basic knowledge; you just need time and practical experience to grow. You're truly a genius!

Watching how he, through Naruto Uzumaki, ultimately forced the cool-guy Sasuke Uchiha to obtain what he wanted at a price that was practically negligible, including…

Ninja: Flying Thunder God Technique (Naruto and Sasuke special edition), Lightning Release Ninja Taijutsu (Cloud Village Lightning Release Chakra Mode + Parallel World Uchiha Sasuke version of Chidori Stream), Peacock Technique (Uchiha Sasuke).

Body: Eight Gates Released Formation (Naruto and Sasuke Special Edition), Uchiha Style Ninja Taijutsu (Parallel World Uchiha Sasuke's Self-Created Version).

Illusion: Dark Travel Technique (provided by Uchiha Sasuke from a parallel world).

Seals: Four Symbols Seal, Eight Trigrams Seal, Five Elements Seal (provided by Naruto Uzumaki from a parallel world).

In response, Sasuke Uchiha, the cool guy who had lost many of his ninjutsu, immediately started beating Naruto Uzumaki, who couldn't even release a Rasengan.

As for that ridiculous Tailed Beast Chakra Mode that can only be activated up to the first tail?

Is that thing even effective against Sharingan unless you activate the Three-Tails?

Of course, if the three-tailed to four-tailed creature really explodes, then Little Cool Guy will have to experience what it means to be treated like the Heavenly Pillar.

As for why not go after Lin Nian, the culprit who has been taking advantage of everyone from beginning to end?

Aside from the fact that he can't beat him right now, the strange feeling that he would regret fighting him keeps making him uneasy. Only by beating up Naruto can he relieve this peculiar psychological state.

Unlike Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, who were still enjoying the few peaceful moments of their lives during this only period of leisure in their lives, and were working hard to become stronger, at this moment, despite having gained a great advantage, they were silently looking at the astronomical numbers required to modify these ninjutsu and suddenly had an urge to train their chakra.

"Tongzi, do you think if I start training my chakra now, I'll have a chance of winning against the Otsutsuki in Sage Mode?"

"Ding, according to the system's detection, with your current mental strength and physical fitness, if you stop increasing them from now on and start refining chakra, you can reach the thirty-calorie achievement in the shortest time, and should be able to reach two hundred and twenty calories by adulthood, and should be able to reach half a pillar in your prime."

"According to the growth plan created for you by the system, if you continue to grow step by step, by adulthood, your chakra level will be close to that of a Pillar, and by the time you reach your prime and use Sage Mode, you can reach about 2.5 Pillars."

"Ding, friendly reminder: If the primordial Qi returns to its original state and connects to the bridge between heaven and earth, one can achieve unity with heaven and man, merge with nature, and receive the power of heaven and earth with every move."

"You don't need to give any more examples!"

Looking sadly at the four thousand yuan loan he already had on his back, he forced his trembling fingers to steady himself and borrowed another twenty thousand points from the system store. He let the system silently modify the Flying Thunder God Technique and Lightning Release Ninja Body Technique, which were of paramount importance to him. Finally, with a sad expression, he secretly glanced at the murder and robbery business that he had previously abandoned.

"Tongzi, do you think if I go and wipe out the Grass Ninja Village now, I can pay off this loan?"

At this moment, Lin Nian's tone was extremely humble. After all, as someone who had never owed money or taken out loans, he now felt as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on him.

Although he understood that even if he did nothing, he couldn't possibly bear this loan for more than ten years, since everyone knew how chaotic the ninja world would be ten years from now, he still had a bad feeling. After all, 20% interest was just too much!

"Ding! Based on the information gathered by your Blue Silver Grass that has grown almost all over the Land of Fire, I can deduce that there are a total of three Jonin, fifteen Chunin, and more than forty Genin in the Grass Village. If you can defeat them all, you should be able to obtain 6,500 system points."

"If you include the group in Hozuki Castle and all the imprisoned ninjas, you could probably accumulate 15,000 system points. However, based on your combat skills and experience, in the absence of any obstacles, the probability of you dying on the road is greater than 63%, the probability of being killed by concentrated fire in Kusagakure is greater than 12%, and the probability of dying in Hozuki Castle is greater than 55%."

"So, does that mean my most dangerous journey is still on the way out of Konoha?"

"right!"

The system's decisive answer instantly broke Lin Nian's guard, who thought she was a minor expert.

He gathered his Qi in his fist and punched out, creating a deep pit that could accommodate five or six people right under the riverbed of the stream that flowed through the area.

Once the water had washed away the floating mud and sand and returned to its clear state, he jumped into the water and began to punch against the current with pure force, getting used to the impact of the water.

Meanwhile, having completed the daily training schedule that Guy had planned for them the day before leaving the village to carry out his mission, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha also began their daily practice of refined chakra control and ninjutsu.

The massive fireball, nearly two meters long, hurtled straight across the riverbed, causing Lin Nian, who was resting and getting used to the force of the current, to feel a scorching heat.

He punched a few more times and moved a little further down the path. After all, calmness was key, and he still needed to practice his meditation.

It's just a pity...

"I'll fucking take your kidney and liver!"

"Chidori!"

boom!

The sudden change in the turbulent current and the lightning that accompanied the water flow directly shattered the composure that Lin Nian had barely managed to maintain, which was already not in a good mood.

As soon as they surfaced, they saw that Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha were now standing on opposite sides of the water, frantically unleashing ninjutsu at each other.

As for the Third Hokage's telescope technique? Does he really think the three's senses are completely useless?

However, Lin Nian, who was clearly ignored by the two who were exuding bromance and was also accidentally injured, is now not having it!

"Just because I'm not showing my power doesn't mean I'm some kind of Hello Kitty! Wood Release: Blue Silver Entanglement!"

The vines, which seemed to have no presence at all, suddenly grew rapidly and instantly bound the ankles of the two people who were passionately attacking each other. Then, with a terrifying devouring force, they instantly swallowed up most of the two people's relatively abundant chakra.

Then, a terrifying, monstrous strength, accompanied by resilience, wrapped the two slightly dazed individuals into silkworm-like creatures. The two, suspended in mid-air, were then intermittently whipped by vines that appeared out of nowhere.

As for this, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who checks on the three's progress almost every day, put down the painkillers he habitually picked up from his drawer after seeing this harmonious and loving scene.
