"Secrets Revealed: Interaction with Konoha's friends and rivals reveals new opportunities and challenges for Ryuji."

Ryuji opened his eyes in a daze, only to see a cloud of silver-white hair fluttering endlessly in front of him.

The scenery around him receded as the figure rose and fell.

"Boy, you've finally woken up."

Ryuji instantly realized he was on Kakashi's back at that moment.

Looking around, he saw that the high fence of Konoha was not far away. However, the direction Kakashi was heading in didn't seem to be towards the interior of Konoha.

"Where are we going?"

"I'm going back to Konoha to take care of some business and I won't be able to take you with me, so I'll take you to meet someone first," Ryuji mused.

Kakashi had been assigned to a squad of three since his graduation, and the other two squad members, one had died and the other had become a big villain. Since then, Kakashi has joined the ambu of Konoha.

It could be said that Kakashi knew a lot of people, but he didn't have many close friends.

The ones he could fully trust were even fewer.

The first one that jumped to Ryuji's mind was the high and mighty green beast of Konoha, Maito Gai.

As expected, it wasn't long before Ryuji saw a green blob.

This greenish mass was still so striking even among the trees.

"Kakashi! Hurry up and duel! We'll race to see who finishes ten kilometers first!" exclaimed Maito Gai upon seeing his archenemy appear. Excitement immediately flashed across his face, and he even ignored the three disciples behind him and rushed towards him.

Kakashi sighed helplessly and said, "I have important things to do today, so we won't compete."

Maito Gai turned his playful smile away and then averted his gaze to Ryuji.

"So you came this time to ask me to help you with the kids?".

"What's wrong with that, Ryuji is a genius, a genius in Taijutsu!".

Maito Gai froze for a moment, then sized Ryuji up seriously.

Usually, ninjas rarely specialized in Taijutsu; most specialized in Ninjutsu, and a little Taijutsu was enough.

After all, Ninjutsu was varied and full of infinite possibilities in fighting.

Unlike Taijutsu, they were slow to train and it was necessary to fight hand to hand.

Therefore, fewer and fewer people trained in Taijutsu.

"Fine, I'll take this person."

Ryuji's eyes lit up.

Maito Gai was a man who had almost killed Madara with a single kick.

Even if Ryuji didn't dare to use it, the release of the eight gates was a great resource to save his life anyway.

"[Ding Dong] A new character is found, As you increase your Favorability you will receive different items."

"Search Maito Gai!"

[Ding dong! Maito Gai's goodwill increased by three points. The goodwill is now fifty-three...]

[Ding Dong! Congrats to the host for getting a green suit! Eight points of Maito Gai's goodwill!

Ryuji almost spat blood.

With so many of Maito Gai's body arts, he had pulled out the most useless one.

The most crucial thing about the shape and color of this one was that Ryuji couldn't imagine anyone but the master and disciple Maito Gai and Rock Lee, wearing it.

This system sure was made by a girl with bad taste.

But the good thing was that clocking in and gaining goodwill at the same time would allow Ryuji to clock in once again.

"Sign in!"

[Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Substitution Technique! Maito Gai's favorability increases by 4 points!"]

Ryuji couldn't help but smile.

Although substitution jutsu was the most common physical art, one also had to divide from whom exactly it was obtained.

Could the instant jutsu of an inferior ninja be compared to that of an elite ninja?

"Hey kid what are you looking at? If you're young you should be burning your youth, not gawking here!" said Maito Gai with a smile.

Maito Gai said leading Ryuji to meet his students.

"I'd like to introduce you to a new friend, Ryuji!" Maito Gai said with a slight smile at the corner of his lips whispering as he continued, "Secretly, I'll tell you guys, Ryuji is a genius."

[Ding Dong! Rock Lee goodwill plus two! You can sign up!

[Ding Dong! Ten Ten's favoritism increases by two! You can register!]

[Ding Dong! Neji Hyūga's favoritism decreases by one!

Ryuji froze for a moment.

The system's tone prompts were usually for increasing favoritism while decreasing favoritism was the first time it appeared.

Only when he saw that the other party was Hyūga Neji, who bragged about being the first genius of Konoha, Ryuji felt relieved.

The reduction of goodwill so soon after they met made Ryuji feel very hurt.

"Regsit Rock Lee!"

[Ding Dong! Rock Lee! Fifty-two goodwill! You can register!

"Fifty favourability: ¡!

"Sixty favourability: ¡!

"Eighty favourability: ¡!

"Ninety favourability: Taijutsu of the Eight Inner Gates!

As expected the Ryuji, Rock Lee is equal to Maito Gai and is not as strong as Maito Gai in every way.

I just don't know if the same jutsu will be overwritten when acquired by different people. Or maybe it's just that after Registering to get it, the other party's knowledge will disappear.

That's why Ryuji wasn't going to register Rock Lee for the time being.

"Checking up on Neji Hyūga!"

[Ding Dong! Neji Hyūga! Forty-nine degrees of goodwill! Attention!]

"Fifty favourability: Gentle Fist!

"Sixtieth favourability: Eight Trigrams Empty Palm!

"Seventy favourability: Jūken! (Gentle Fist)

"Eighty favourabilities: " Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms ".

Ninety favourability: Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms!

[One Hundred Favorability Points: Obtain the Byakugan! Gain Neji Hyūga's favor! Activate the unlimited login! (Seven days between registrations!)

Hyūga Neji's reward was pretty good, after all, he could obtain the Hyūga's Doujutsu.

Only the Soft Fist relied entirely on Byakugan, and without the support of the White Eyes, the fighting power would be reduced by ninety percent.

This would be a major pain in the ass.

"Check Ten Ten!"

[Ding Dong! Ten Ten! Favorability fifty-two!!!!

"Fifty favorability: concealed weapon shot!

"Sixty: Shuriken splitting technique"...

...

Seeing Ten Ten's reward, Ryuji couldn't help but shake his head. All rewards were based on obtaining jutsu with accessories.

Not that Ten Ten's Ninjutsu wasn't powerful, but Ryuji wasn't as rich as Ten Ten.

Maybe the money earned in a year wasn't enough for a single battle.

Although well making a girl's favorability reach 100% was a good thing.

Very practical and convenient.

"Then it's time to bond with Ten Ten."
