Sign in From Naruto

The next day, Xu Fan did not head to the ninja academy.

Although the new sign-in mission was limited to three days, Xu Fan couldn't hold back his excitement at the thought of a new sign-in reward.

One had to know that Danzo was already determined to eliminate him.

If Danzo failed this time, he might try again soon.

If assassination didn't work, there was a possibility that Danzo would resort to methods like poisoning.

Sign-in rewards, on the other hand, were the simplest and most direct way to become stronger.

Soon, Xu Fan changed into a clean set of clothes, left the Senju clan's compound, and went straight to the Konoha administration building.

The sign-in mission required him to linger in the Hokage's office for ten seconds to obtain the reward. As long as he had a suitable reason, he wouldn't arouse the Third Hokage's suspicion.

"But then again, how could anyone possibly suspect that I have a sign-in system?"

Xu Fan couldn't help but chuckle inwardly before arriving at the Konoha building.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was not only the Third Hokage but also one of the strongest ninjas in Konoha Village.

So the security here wasn't overly tight, at least on the surface. When questioned by the guards, Xu Fan calmly stated that he had something important to report to the Third Hokage.

Coupled with the Senju clan's emblem, the guards didn't turn him away.

Of course, the minimum process was still necessary, such as having a guard escort Xu Fan to the Hokage's office.

"Phew..."

Xu Fan let out a deep breath. So far, everything had gone smoothly. All that was left was to walk into the Hokage's office and complete the sign-in.

As for Danzo, even if he was as ruthless as he was, there was no way he would ambush Xu Fan in a place like this.

In a short while, the guard led Xu Fan to the door of the Hokage's office, knocked, and announced Xu Fan's purpose for visiting.

"Why would he come here...?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned. By this time of day, Xu Fan should have been at the ninja academy.

"Come in."

In less than three breaths, Sarutobi gave the order for Xu Fan to enter.

"Hokage-sama, hello."

As soon as Xu Fan saw Sarutobi Hiruzen, he greeted him respectfully.

Honestly, Xu Fan didn't want to come to this kind of place, but who let the sign-in location be here?

Congratulations to the host for successfully arriving at the sign-in location! The sign-in process has officially begun!

Quitting in the middle is considered a sign-in failure!

The progress bar begins!

1%...

23%...

Hearing the familiar voice in his ears, Xu Fan sighed in relief.

"What is it?" Sarutobi Hiruzen folded his hands, leaned his elbows onto the table, and leaned forward, inquiring about Xu Fan while subtly signaling the guard to leave.

Xu Fan nodded but didn't speak immediately. Instead, he waited until the guard closed the office door behind him and took a few more steps forward.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's patience was excellent. Seeing Xu Fan silent, he had no intention of rushing him.

86%...

100%...

In the extremely quiet environment, Xu Fan successfully completed the sign-in.

Congratulations to the host! Sign-in successful!

Reward obtained: Bloodline Limit - Wood Release!

After hearing the quest reward, Xu Fan felt a sudden sharp pain coursing through his body, as if his flesh and blood were being torn apart and then reorganized.

However, the sensation came quickly and disappeared just as fast.

Before Xu Fan could even grit his teeth, the pain vanished without a trace.

Even his entire body felt much lighter.

"Wood Release..."

Xu Fan swallowed hard, feeling ecstatic.

Although he was a member of the Senju clan and possessed Hashirama-level chakra, as well as proficiency in all five chakra nature transformations, the Bloodline Limit was something else entirely.

In fact, the so-called Bloodline Limit was the simultaneous mixing of two chakra natures to produce a new kekkei genkai.

It also included unique bodily abilities, such as the Uchiha clan's Sharingan or the Hyuga clan's Byakugan.

Wood Release, on the other hand, was a new kekkei genkai formed by mixing the water and earth chakra natures.

But this wasn't something just anyone who mastered both water and earth attributes could do.

For example, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Kakashi Hatake were both proficient in all five chakra natures, yet neither could use Wood Release.

So when he received the mission reward, Xu Fan's excitement was indescribable.

The most important thing was...

He had come to the Hokage's office to sign in and obtained the First Hokage's Wood Release!

Thinking about it another way, if the next sign-in location was the Uchiha compound, would he obtain the Sharingan?

What about the Hyuga clan's compound?

Or Might Guy's home?

But as with previous times, new sign-in quests didn't continue to be released after completing one.

It seemed that the sign-in system was triggered under specific conditions.

"Xu Fan?" Seeing Xu Fan's delay in speaking, Sarutobi couldn't help but urge him.

"Ah."

Only after hearing Sarutobi's voice did Xu Fan collect his thoughts. He then explained his name change to "Thousand Hands Xu Fan."

Needless to say, this left Sarutobi with a black line on his face.

You were nearly assassinated by Root yesterday, and now you're here early in the morning just to tell me you're changing your name?

And the so-called name change is just adding an extra "Fan"?

What's the significance?

"The word 'Fan' is to remind me not to forget my初心 (beginner's heart). Even after obtaining great power, I'm still just a mortal amongst the multitudes."

Xu Fan took a deep breath and repeated the same rhetoric he used to fool Naruto.

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "???"

As he realized Xu Fan was standing in front of his office, his mind had anticipated countless possibilities.

For example, Xu Fan might be worried about another Root assassination and seek his protection.

Or he might have come to complain and demand that Danzo be punished.

Or perhaps he was asking for a statement.

But it turned out that Xu Fan was here to talk about changing his name!

He didn't even seem to care about Root or Danzo!

They're not worthy of your attention!

For a moment, Sarutobi couldn't help but lean back in his chair.

"Is that why you're here?"

"Well, of course," Xu Fan nodded without hesitation, indicating that it was indeed an important matter.

After all, it was weird for one person to use two names, so combining them was more convenient.

"There is one more thing."

Only after hearing this did Sarutobi sigh, thinking that this was more normal.

"Third Hokage-sama," Xu Fan said with a serious face, "I want to graduate from the ninja academy early."

"Hm?" Sarutobi Hiruzen instantly frowned.

"There is nothing left for me to learn there," Xu Fan said firmly.
