"Lord Hanzo? Lord Hanzo? If you don't answer, we're coming in."

Just as the people outside were about to force their way in, the silent Hanzo finally spoke up, "Nothing's wrong with me, don't worry."

"really?"

"Damn it, aren't you all listening to me? Stay at your posts and don't move."

"Yes!"

Having witnessed the entire incident, Yi Shuihan's impression of Hanzang improved slightly, but it wasn't enough to change his mind.

So, just accept your fate!

To Hanzo's horrified surprise, Yi Shuihan casually touched him, and Hanzo found himself unable to move, unable to move his eyes even slightly, and unable to make a sound.

Not only that, Hanzo even felt that the chakra in his body had stopped flowing; he could only still think.

Yi Shuihan naturally used a freezing spell. Although this spell is only effective against creatures whose strength is far inferior to his, it was just right for him to use now.

"Hehe, are you ready for your punishment?"

Without giving Hanzo any chance to react, he pulled out a series of objects from thin air that Hanzo didn't recognize at all.

Even though he didn't know him, Hanzo still felt a chill run down his spine. An ominous feeling filled his heart, and the fact that he couldn't move amplified his fear.

In the time that followed, Hanzo personally experienced what true suffering was. Even as a ninja who had seen many methods of interrogation and torture, he was on the verge of collapse when faced with the instruments of torture from the two worlds of Yi Shuihan, or rather, he had collapsed several times, but was always saved in the end.

A drug that can plunge someone into the most unpleasant illusion with just a sniff, silver needles that can amplify pain a hundredfold, and a potent medicine so strong that just one milligram can kill—Yi Shuihan gave him a whole bottle.

In short, everything Yi Shuihan could think of was done to Hanzang.

If he could beg for mercy, or even commit suicide, Hanzo would probably have taken his own life long ago. He couldn't bear this kind of pain, but he simply couldn't.

Hanzo's consciousness went through countless cycles of fainting and waking. In the end, all hope vanished from his eyes, replaced by a look of utter despair for the world.

Apart from Yi Shuihan and Hanzang himself, no one knew what exactly happened that night. However, Hanzang completely changed after that night.

He became incredibly irritable and easily angered, and he would often urge male ninjas to come to his room to do shady things.

"I've done what I needed to do. There shouldn't be any surprises this time. If it weren't for wanting Tsunade to take revenge herself, I would have taken Hanzo's life long ago."

Yi Shuihan returned to Konoha and continued to run his hot spring resort. He lived a leisurely life, spending his days either training or playing with Kakashi and Kushina. He was largely unconcerned about the Second Shinobi World War, except for frequently finding time to meet with Tsunade.

As time passed, Tsunade and the others also earned the title of the Legendary Sannin. However, this time Hanzo died directly at their hands, and the title was bestowed upon them on his deathbed. The title of the Legendary Sannin was much greater than in the original story.

Hanzo's expression of relief before his death remains an unsolved mystery.

Sakumo Hatake finally became the White Fang of Konoha, and other famous figures rose to prominence one after another. It can be said that Konoha has made a name for itself, and its position as the leader of the ninja world is now unshakeable.

Finally, without the interference of Yi Shuihan, World War II came to an end, with Konoha emerging victorious.

Of course, this is only on the surface; under the covert circumstances, things are still turbulent. However, for Konoha, things are about to enter a period of stability until the start of the Third Shinobi World War.

"Brother Yi, I'm going to the Ninja Academy tomorrow, but I don't want to go," Kakashi said, distressed.

As for why he didn't want to go, it was simple: he was already a Jonin and didn't want to play with a bunch of kids who hadn't become ninjas yet.

Why don't you want to go?

"I'm already a Jonin, although I haven't received my headband yet."

"Going to the Ninja Academy has nothing to do with your strength. If you go, you can make some friends, like best buddies! As the saying goes, best buddies are for life, and a life without best buddies is not a complete life. It is said that there are also many girls at the Ninja Academy! Marriage partners need to be cultivated from childhood. You have already missed so much time, so you must seize this opportunity at the Ninja Academy!"

Yi Shuihan spoke earnestly, and Kakashi listened in a daze, but found it extremely reasonable.

"Brother Yi is right. I want to revitalize my family. I must find my true love at the Ninja Academy, and I must also find my best buddy."

Another innocent child has been led astray.

Kakashi didn't understand the true meaning of "best friend." He once asked Yi Shuihan about it, and Yi Shuihan directly changed the concept of "best friend" to "good brother."

Chapter 304, Teaching Might Guy Martial Arts (Part 1)

"Konoha has a unique charm when it's calm! Although even during wartime, it didn't make much difference to me." Yi Shuihan sighed idly under the cherry blossom tree he had planted.

Since the system never issued any missions after arriving in this world, Yi Shuihan has never had any goals. Although he did build a hot spring resort, it was just a spur-of-the-moment decision.

Speaking of which, Yi Shuihan really knows how to enjoy life. He got the cherry blossom tree from a seed he found from a merchant and then forced it to ripen himself. As for the growing environment, Yi Shuihan said he didn't know what that was.

"Kai, do you know how fast cherry blossoms fall?" Yi Shuihan asked Might Guy, who was about the same size as Kakashi and was also Kakashi's lifelong rival.

Matt Kai looked puzzled and shook his head decisively. "Brother Yi, do you know how much it is?"

"Cherry blossoms fall at a speed of five centimeters per second!"

When Yi Shuihan said this, there was a strange tone in his voice, but this was a joke that Might Guy was destined not to understand.

"Brother Yi is amazing, he even knows this."

Seeing Might Guy's admiring look, Yi Shuihan chuckled inwardly. Who would care about something like this if they weren't bored out of their mind? Besides, even he didn't come to the answer himself, but learned about it from a famous anime in his original world.

At this time, Might Guy's strength was only that of a Chunin, which was far inferior to Kakashi's. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case, since Might Dai was an employee of the hot spring resort. How could his son's strength have improved less than Kakashi's?

Speaking of which, Might Guy is also a bit stubborn. He works at the hot spring resort and can enjoy the hot springs himself, but when his son comes to use them, he still has to pay. Therefore, compared to Kakashi, Might Guy uses them much less frequently, basically only once a week.

It was only when Yi Shuihan couldn't stand it anymore that he directly gave Mitekai a convenience and reduced the price of Mitekai's hot spring bath, which is why he could see Mitekai more often.

For this reason, Matt Kai was very grateful to Yi Shuihan and regarded him as the closest elder besides his father.

Even Kakashi became a Jonin, and Might Guy has also made great progress, finally becoming a Kage-level powerhouse, and the kind of Kage-level who doesn't unleash the Eight Gates. In Konoha, apart from Yi Shuihan, no one can defeat him. His strength is probably enough to easily defeat Pain. His only weakness is that he doesn't have any wide-range attack skills.

“Now that Might Guy has pushed the Eight Gates to its limit, what will he do? His dad has completely stolen the spotlight!” Yi Shuihan suddenly thought.

Hmm, maybe we could do that.

Yi Shuihan's expression turned serious as he looked at Matt Kai.

Might Guy also sensed something and stared intently at Yi Shuihan.

"I want to teach you something. Would you like to learn?"

"What is that? Is it ninjutsu?"

"It's not ninjutsu. If you really want to understand it, you can think of it as taijutsu."

Like his father, Might Guy has no talent for ninjutsu and follows the taijutsu style. Now a Chunin, he has already learned the Eight Gates, but due to his age, he can only open the first gate without any aftereffects, since he is only 6 years old.

The Eight Gates technique alone is enough for Might Guy to learn for a lifetime, so he doesn't have much need for taijutsu.

Seeing Might Guy's face change and he didn't respond for a long time, Yi Shuihan continued, "If we're talking about power, my taijutsu might not be as good as the Eight Gates, but its potential is much greater."

"Its potential is even greater than the Eight Gates Formation?"

Might Guy was surprised this time. His father had told him that as long as one mastered the Eight Gates, even a Jonin could fight against a Kage-level ninja, and if he were to unleash his full power, he could even surpass a Kage-level ninja.

"That's right. This is a very ancient martial art called Guoshu, Chinese martial arts. It is a technique for individuals to prolong their lives and make the country prosperous and stable. The purpose of this martial art is to protect the home and defend the country."

"Defend the country?"

Upon hearing the word "defend the homeland," a glint of anticipation flashed in Might Guy's eyes. To be able to surround a country, or in his eyes, to defend Konoha's taijutsu, was definitely something extraordinary.

That's right, Yi Shuihan's idea was to bring Chinese martial arts to this world. These were training methods he collected in the world of Mr. Zombie, and Chinese martial arts actually developed during that period.

It is called a national martial art, but it is actually a simplified version of martial arts. After all, in the Dharma-ending Age, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is thin, and it is no longer possible to cultivate internal strength. Therefore, a second-rate method of internal martial arts cultivation has emerged.

Internal martial arts are divided into Ming Jin (manifest strength), An Jin (hidden strength), Hua Jin (transformation strength), and the later Bao Dan (embracing the elixir), and finally Po Xu Cheng Shen (breaking through the void to become a god). Yi Shuihan had seen the first three realms, but not the later ones. In fact, no one has ever seen the final Po Xu Cheng Shen; it may just be a legend.

If an ordinary person wants to become a master of Ming Jin (a martial arts technique), they need to train constantly to turn all the excess fat in their body into muscle, be able to mobilize their body at any time, control their bones, and use the power of their abdominal, waist, and leg bones to create a powerful force, so that every punch they throw carries the weight of a thousand pounds.

A master of Ming Jin is already stronger than a genin. Unless they are hit by a ninjutsu, a genin cannot defeat a Ming Jin master. Moreover, because of the existence of chakra in this world, people generally have very strong physical abilities. Once they master Ming Jin, the strength they can exert will probably far exceed a thousand jin.

While mastering Ming Jin unlocks the body's potential and pushes its limits, it doesn't teach the methods of conserving vital energy. Therefore, although those who achieve Ming Jin possess great strength, their stamina and endurance are limited. Furthermore, it doesn't promote health. While this may be manageable in youth, by middle age, vital energy declines, and muscles, neglected, become flabby. This leads to premature aging, early death, and numerous health problems.

When most people throw a punch, they rely on the power of their arm muscles and do not engage the power of their abdomen, waist, and legs. Therefore, the efficiency of converting physical energy into vital energy and heat in a single punch is also low.

After mastering Ming Jin (manifest strength), every punch and kick mobilizes the power of the whole body, so in an instant, the power of the whole body's essence, blood and physical energy to be transformed into energy, heat and vital energy is extremely high.

That is why if one only understands the superficial strength and relentlessly attacks without getting enough nutrition, one will deplete the body's essence, blood, and physical strength, and thus decline even faster than an ordinary person.

In other words, Ming Jin is equivalent to the explosion of potential, and it is on the same level as the Eight Gates Formation in terms of intent.

Chapter 305, Teaching Might Guy Martial Arts (Part 2)

There are differences, of course, because Ming Jin involves twisting one's own strength into a single burst of amazing power. Even if it is used, it only consumes a large amount of physical strength and will not cause damage to the body like the Eight Gates Formation.

The Eight Gates are an explosion of the body's ultimate power; therefore, the greater the power unleashed, the greater the damage to the body. No matter how strong the body is trained, it can only minimize the degree of this damage, not eliminate it completely.

Although it has reached the level of Ming Jin, its power is not comparable to that of the Eight Gates Formation. Even the later levels of An Jin and Hua Jin cannot be as powerful as the Eight Gates Formation.

However, the damage from using traditional Chinese martial arts is significantly less than that from using the Eight Gates Formation. If the Eight Gates Formation is a forbidden technique suitable for ordinary people, then traditional Chinese martial arts can be used as a regular physical technique, and as long as one has sufficient stamina, one can use it continuously.

This is only in the first three realms. The later stage of Core Formation is completely different. At that time, one can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and use the power of heaven and earth instead of one's own power. It can be said that Core Formation can completely defeat a Shadow-level opponent.

Ming Jin (manifest strength) allows one to unleash their maximum power without harming their body, requiring only the replenishment of nutrients. An Jin (hidden strength), on the other hand, seals away all of one's usual power, somewhat similar to Tsunade's chakra storage, achieving the goal of immortality.

The Transformation Realm, even with complete control over the body, allows one to manipulate their own bloodline for marrow cleansing and blood exchange, enabling the body to leap forward.

It can be said that once you reach the Transformation Realm, those who have inherited the bloodline can directly achieve a certain level of bloodline power, and even bloodlines that were originally unable to awaken will awaken as a result.

If the ability to neutralize internal energy were revealed to other ninjas, just for the sake of greatly increasing the chances of awakening, countless people would probably want to learn this national martial art.

For example, if Tsunade could reach the level of Transformation, awakening Wood Release would be a certainty.

Of course, the Transformation of Power is not effective on all bloodstains. After all, some bloodstains rely on the evolution of spiritual power. When you reach the Transformation of Power level, it only affects the body. Although there is some influence on the mind, it is not too great.

This is all that Yi Shuihan knows for now. As for the next two realms, Yi Shuihan only has a general idea and can't explain them clearly.

It's just a guess, but embracing the elixir is probably equivalent to the transformation from the Nascent Soul stage to the Void Return stage in terms of realm. The subsequent breakthrough to the Void and becoming a god is comparable to the Dao Integration stage.

Yi Shuihan didn't tell Might Guy everything, only about Ming Jin and An Jin. But even that left Might Guy dumbfounded and excitedly shouting that he wanted to learn it.

Yi Shuihan didn't hold back and immediately told Might Guy the method of cultivating Ming Jin, believing that as long as Might Guy mastered Ming Jin, his basic physical fitness would be greatly improved.

Having obtained the method of martial arts training, Might Guy immediately began a frenzied training regimen. Compared to the most basic skills like running, doing push-ups, and constantly punching trees, the method of martial arts training was far more advanced.

Although there was no agreement that the training methods of martial arts could not be passed on to outsiders, Matt Kai still kept this secret and did not tell anyone. Even when his father Matt Dai asked him, he did not tell him directly, but only said that it was a physical technique of the Yi Shui Han Sect and could not be passed on to outsiders.

After learning martial arts, Might Guy also became a glutton. His already considerable appetite turned into that of a glutton, requiring him to eat at least 10 pounds of meat per meal. This greatly increased the food expenses for the Might family, with Might Dai's daily salary basically being wasted on Might Guy's food.

It's fortunate that this world has abundant spiritual energy, and the energy in the meat is much greater than in the Dharma-ending Age. Otherwise, if Might Guy ate a whole cow in one sitting, Might Dai really wouldn't be able to afford to feed it.

"Brother Yi, I've come to see you." Minato Namikaze, holding Kushina Uzumaki's hand, walked up to Yi Shuihan with a smug look on his face.

Yi Shuihan glanced at Namikaze Minato without saying a word. Showing off their love in front of him was practically suicide!

Yi Shuihan's performance caused a hint of embarrassment to flash in Minato Namikaze's eyes. He hadn't come just to see Yi Shuihan; he had come as a mediator.

Kushina Uzumaki, who was standing next to Minato Namikaze, tugged at his clothes, forcing Minato to bite the bullet and speak, "Brother Yi, I heard from Jiraiya-sensei that you don't allow him to enter the hot springs. Is that true?"

"Hmm!" Yi Shuihan nodded, remembering what had happened. Jiraiya had indeed been banned from hot springs, and the reason was quite simple: he had been spying on people at the hot spring resort.

Even though there was a mixed-gender bathhouse, he still couldn't be satisfied and insisted on peeping into the women's area. Yi Shuihan had to admit Jiraiya's audacity. If it weren't for Tsunade's sake, it wouldn't have been as simple as just prohibiting entry.

It's no secret that the mixed-gender baths at Yi Shui Han's hot spring resorts are more effective than the separate male or female baths.

Therefore, most people choose to go to mixed-gender bathhouses for the sake of their own strength, and men have a much greater advantage in this regard.

Because it's a mixed-gender bath, the women naturally have to wear more clothes, which is more conservative than what is worn in a women-only setting, but even so, they still make sure to provide a good view.

Despite such perks, Jiraiya was still not satisfied and wanted to challenge himself with something even more exciting, which was naturally not permitted by Yi Shuihan.

The first time he was caught, he was only given a warning and banned from entering for a month. Unexpectedly, just a month later, Jiraiya still risked his life. Yi Shuihan finally got angry and imposed a ten-year ban on him.

For Jiraiya, how many decades does one have in a lifetime? It was as if he could never enter the inner sanctum again. How could Jiraiya bear this? He could only ask someone to intercede for him. Originally, asking Tsunade for help would have been the best option, but if he told Tsunade about his situation, she would definitely not help. Therefore, he had no choice but to settle for second best and asked Minato Namikaze, who he thought had a good relationship with Yi Shuihan.

"Well, yesterday my teacher came to me and said he knew he was wrong. He asked me to tell you that he hopes you can be lenient and lift the ten-year ban. He promises he will never go to women's venues again." Minato Namikaze lowered his voice as he said this, truly ashamed of his teacher!

"You know you were wrong? He said the same thing last time," Yi Shuihan said, neither confirming nor denying.

Chapter 306, If you don't want to be a ninja, you can work for me.

"There was a previous time too?" Minato Namikaze was unaware that this wasn't Jiraiya's first offense, and thus appeared extremely surprised.

Of course, he also knew that Yi Shuihan would not lie to him about this matter, so Minato Namikaze could only blame Jiraiya in his heart.

Teacher, you've really put me in a lot of trouble.

Even knowing this, Minato Namikaze could only grit his teeth and continue to persuade her.

"Even so, don't you think ten years is too long? How about one year? If he can't soak in the hot springs, his strength will drop considerably."

Minato Namikaze was more worried about Jiraiya's strength. If he really couldn't enter the hot springs for ten years, he could imagine that there would be a lot of Kage-level Kage in Konoha. Although Jiraiya wouldn't stay in the same place, he would definitely become just another ordinary person.

Minato Namikaze felt that with Jiraiya's talent, he wouldn't fall too far behind and would still have a chance to catch up.

"A year? Are you sure it's a year!" Yi Shuihan was slightly surprised by Minato Namikaze's words. He thought Minato would continue to plead for Jiraiya to be allowed to enter the hot springs immediately!

"That's right, it'll be a year."
