No, where does this portal come from?

In this case, I won't interfere too much.

but……

"If you need any help, Naruto, you can tell me and I will help you to the best of my ability."

The third generation didn't dare to say too much.

What if someone asks you to help with something and ends up failing to do it? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen say this, Naruto secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

help?

As long as you don't make things worse.

Naruto thought so.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Sarutobi Hiruzen, Naruto did not stop and walked in the direction he came from before.

After Naruto walked away, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not do anything with any fanfare.

He didn't even want to talk about this with Danzo and the others.

First, this matter was too shocking, and second, he was not sure whether those people would do the same thing as he did after he said it.

"Even if we're on the same side, those people might not necessarily share my sentiments.

Each has their own ambitions...'

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe and sighed helplessly.

Everyone says that the position of Hokage is easy to sit in, but few people know that the bench here is still cold and hard.

Looking at the report that the Anbu brought to his desk, Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled a puff of smoke and began to read it carefully.

At the opening, the report had the three big words "Uchiha" on it, which gave Sarutobi Hiruzen a headache.

Why is it the Uchiha clan again?

Then look down.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression became more and more serious as his eyes moved downward.

Finally, he put down the report in his hand.

"It seems that the Uchiha family is beginning to lose control of their ambitions."

"They've become so brazen... As a member of the security team, they're running around naked in public! This really damages Konoha's image!"

"If this were seen by other great powers, they would laugh at Konoha Village for more than a decade!"

That’s right, this report is about the incident where Lin Yan forced a blind Uchiha member to run naked.

But according to the interpretation of the Anbu, Lin Yan has nothing to do here...

Instead, the members of the Uchiha family acted as they pleased, knowingly breaking the law as members of the guard team, not taking the rules of Konoha seriously, and freely displaying their own personalities and quirks!

Of course, if any forced Uchiha clan member saw this report, he would definitely jump up in anger!

No! Who would have the time to run naked around the village?

Also, have you guys become stupid from studying reading comprehension?

You can even analyze that the Uchiha clan is ambitious even when they are running naked... To be honest, are you discriminating against the Uchiha clan?

Uchiha: Uchiha life is precious! I can't breathe...

Akimichi BBQ restaurant.

The rich aroma of meat wafts through the barbecue restaurant, and there is a constant stream of customers coming and going in the restaurant, all praising the quality of the barbecue.

Currently, this barbecue restaurant is owned by the Qiu Dao family.

As experienced foodies, the Akimichi family attaches great importance to the quality of food!

The extremely high quality and quality also make his business exceptionally good.

In a private room in the barbecue restaurant, Lin Yan and his friends were sitting there, enjoying the barbecue.

On the hot iron plate is the pork belly, which has been roasted to release fat and exudes a dry and fragrant aroma.

There are also large and small beautiful beef, pork, lamb, chicken wings...

Smelling the aroma that made people cry, everyone couldn't help but whet their appetite and picked up their chopsticks to start a new round of "battle".

Do you think this is a child's play?!

This is a life-and-death struggle!

In the private room, the chopsticks left afterimages in everyone's hands, which was dizzying to watch.

The barbecue on the table was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After an unknown amount of time, the barbecue plates were piled almost to the ceiling before this 'battle' finally came to an end.

"Burp——" Lin Yan burped.

"How was your meal?"

"Not bad, not bad! Barbecue of this quality is rare in the Douqi Continent, especially the pickling process, which is very similar to that on Earth." Xiao Yan commented and gave a thumbs up.

Apart from anything else, Qiu Dao’s barbecue is really delicious!

It almost makes him, a barbecue master who often grills meat and fish in the wild and uses his skills to make all kinds of young ladies fall in love with him, feel ashamed!

This also shows how strict the Qiu Dao family's requirements are for food.

No wonder business is so good.

"Very nice!" JOJO picked her teeth with satisfaction.

The old Taoist priest didn't say much, just nodded to indicate that it was very good.

Toosaka Rin and Toosaka Sakura, who came along for the trip, didn't say anything either. They proved their satisfaction with this trip with their actions.

——The buttons near her belly were almost bursting, and she had a very satisfied expression on her face.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had such a delicious barbecue!

You have to know that when my father was still alive, barbecue was considered "junk food". It was okay to eat a little, but if you ate too much, you would be severely scolded by your father.

"Brother is really open-minded..."

"No matter what it is, as long as it doesn't touch the bottom line, there is no limit."

The two of them thought so and patted their stomachs with satisfaction.

Just as everyone was commenting on how satisfying the meal was, JOJO slowly stood up and took something out of the package behind him.

His sudden stand also attracted everyone's attention.

I saw JOJO slowly taking out a long box from the package behind him.

The box is wrapped in silk and looks particularly exquisite and solemn.

No one asked any questions, but just watched JOJO's actions quietly.

His movements were neither fast nor slow, but they piqued everyone's interest.

When he untied the silk wrapping and opened the brocade box, everyone could see clearly what was inside the box...

It was an arrow.

The arrows were mostly golden in color and not very long.

Just like an arrow used in an ordinary bow.

However, the arrowheads were not the kind used to kill animals and humans, but rather looked like some kind of handicraft.

It is even said that the arrows are covered with various strange patterns.

Under the light of the shop, the sharp edge of the arrow and the pattern on it kept flashing with a strange golden light.

"This is..." Xiao Yan looked at the arrow in front of him with a slightly confused expression.

Before JOJO could explain, Lin Yan, who was sitting in the first seat, suddenly spoke...

"It's an arrow."

"I know it's an arrow. After all, it looks like an arrow used on a bow." Xiao Yan was puzzled.

If it was really an ordinary arrow, JOJO would definitely not take it out in such a high-profile manner on such an occasion.

There is only one possibility for why it was taken out.

That is, the arrow in front of you is not an ordinary arrow, but some kind of special prop.

Thinking of this, Lin Yan began to explain to Xiao Yan again: "The arrows in front of you are not the arrows you know, but arrows that can awaken special abilities in people."

"This ability... is also called 'Stand'."

substitute?

Are the shits afraid of me?

"A stand-in is an entity formed from spiritual energy.

This entity possesses a variety of special abilities."

"Control the weather, speed up time, delete space, predict the future... and so on and so forth."

"Each one's spirit is different, so the awakened Stand's abilities are also different."

"A powerful Stand can even involve rules. It's extremely terrifying."

"Of course, awakening a Stand isn't without conditions. You have to be pierced by an arrow and then survive the arrow's backlash.

Only then can the chosen one become a Stand User."

"Those who don't make it will be drained of their spirit by their substitutes and die."

Chapter 220 And you, my friend, can launch purple vines

"So, the awakening of a Stand depends entirely on mental strength. As long as the strength reaches the standard, it can be awakened. There are no other thresholds?"

After listening to what Lin Yan said, Xiao Yan stared at the golden arrow in the box with a burning gaze.

Hearing this, Lin Yan thought for a moment and nodded slowly: "That's right."

"The obvious threshold for the arrow is mental strength. If your mental strength is very high, awakening a stand is almost inevitable."

"But there is one thing you still need to pay attention to."

"What?" Everyone was attracted by Lin Yan's words.

"Stands have all sorts of abilities, some are strong, some are weak.

The strength and ability of an awakened Stand have nothing to do with one's own mental strength, but the Stand has a great connection with one's own body."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Zhiwei, who had been silent just now, suddenly spoke.

"This means that if the Stand is damaged, the original body will also be harmed.

Even if your physical body is incredibly strong, if your Stand is damaged, your physical body will still be damaged."

"For example, if your body is as strong as steel, but your Stand is as strong as plastic, then once the 'plastic' is damaged, the 'steel' will also be damaged.

If the Stand receives a fatal injury that could cause death, the original body will also receive the same fatal injury as the Stand."

"...So that's how it is." Zhang Zhiwei nodded in understanding, but another question soon arose in his mind: "You said that if the stand is damaged, the original body will also be hurt."

"But if the one awakened isn't a humanoid stand, will the damage to the stand also be returned to the original body?"

Not a humanoid stand-in?

Mentioning this question, Lin Yan fell into deep thought.

He began to think about the non-human stand-in.

In the plot of the JOJO world, there doesn't seem to be any scene or plot where a non-human stand is beaten and the main body is broken.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yan slowly replied, "I'm not too sure about this question either. I can only say it's probably not."
