Naruto Infinite Lottery System
Chapter 101: Immortal’s body grows slightly and he realizes his divine skills again
Bang.
The heavy door of the safe house closed behind him, blocking out any prying eyes from the outside world.
Lin Feng’s body shook violently, and he almost collapsed and sat down on the bed, his forehead instantly covered with cold sweat.
A terrible feeling of weakness swept through the body violently. Every inch of muscle was protesting. There was a piercing soreness and fatigue in the gaps between the bones. The vision even became a little dark.
“hiss……”
He gasped and looked down at his right arm with great effort. The bandage he had just wrapped was already oozing with new blood, and a sharp tearing pain came from under his skin, which became stronger and stronger. The side effects of the [Rage Potion] were much more severe than the word “mild” on the instructions. The nerve endings seemed to be repeatedly pierced by countless red-hot needles. The strong feeling of dizziness hit the brain again and again, and the stomach began to churn.
The backlash from forcibly activating the [Spiral Shuriken] was even more direct and overbearing. The bones and muscles of the entire arm were groaning under the heavy burden, as if they would completely collapse in the next second.
The price paid for this deal was indeed quite high.
Lin Feng gritted his teeth, his face drained of blood, but he had no time to complain. He forced himself to sit up straight, then immediately crossed his legs, and with difficulty formed a training seal with his hands, concentrating the remaining mental power to guide the chakra in his body to circulate.
Buzz!
At the center of the eyebrows, the emerald green mark of the [Leaf of the World Tree] emerged in response, emitting soft and warm life energy, which was like sweet spring water injected into the dry body.
At the same time, the almost instinctive and powerful self-healing ability of the [Immortal Body] was also stimulated to the extreme.
A light green halo enveloped his entire body, and warm and vital energy flowed delicately through every meridian and every cell.
The stinging pain in the wounds on the right arm that were caused by the chakra run wild began to subside, and a slight tingling sensation came, and the granulation tissue grew, intertwined, and healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The microscopic damage at the cellular level caused by the forced activation of forbidden techniques is being quickly repaired and filled by the endless flow of life energy.
However, Lin Feng’s brows furrowed even more tightly.
He could clearly “see inside” that some of the main meridians in his body that carried the high-speed flow of chakra had also developed a lot of extremely fine cracks. This was a hidden danger left by the overload of chakra, which was more troublesome than external injuries. If it was not repaired thoroughly now, it would inevitably affect the efficiency of chakra operation over time, and might even cause the power to lose control at a critical moment, with disastrous consequences.
“Fix it! Fix it for me!”
Lin Feng roared in his heart, not caring about the energy reserves, and fully mobilized the chakra, guiding the huge life energy accumulated by the [Leaves of the World Tree], concentrating on flushing and warming the damaged meridians over and over again. The energy was like a fine silk thread, carefully filling and reinforcing the cracks.
This is an extremely delicate and mentally exhausting process that requires absolute concentration.
At this moment, a system prompt sounded in his mind. It was a bit abrupt, but the content made him feel refreshed.
[Ding! It is detected that the host’s body is in a state of rapid recovery, cell activity has been greatly improved, and the development progress of the [Immortal Body] has increased slightly. ]Um?
Lin Feng’s heart moved and he almost choked.
Recovery from injuries can also improve the [Immortal Body]? Does this mean… getting beaten up helps you become stronger? Although this logic is a bit annoying, this deal doesn’t seem to be a bad deal!
His already highly concentrated will became even stronger, and his motivation to heal his injuries instantly increased.
A silent night.
When the first ray of sunlight in the early morning penetrated the gap in the window and cast a warm spot of light on the ground, Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes.
The bloodshot and fatigue in the eyes have disappeared, and the eyes are clear and bright.
He raised his right hand, opened and clenched his five fingers, and moved his arm. Although the deep muscles still felt a little sore and swollen, and he couldn’t immediately perform a high-intensity burst, basic movements and seals were no longer hindered.
More importantly, upon introspection, the minor damage to the meridians in the body has been completely repaired, and under the repeated nourishment of the majestic life energy, they seem to be even tougher and more unobstructed than before the injury!
He could clearly feel that the total amount of chakra flowing in his body did not seem to have increased significantly, but its texture was more condensed and easier to control.
Every battle to the point of limit and subsequent full recovery is indeed a rare transformation!
It was a blessing in disguise.
Lin Feng raised the corner of his mouth, and without delay, he immediately called up the system interface.
His eyes were fixed sharply on the two items in the inventory that excited him the most.
[Wind Style: Rasenshuriken (Complete Scroll)]!
[Swift Escape Fragment (1/3)]!
His eyes instantly became hot and his heart beat slightly faster.
Without any hesitation, he chose the former. This thing saved his life last night. Although the price was huge, its power was indeed amazing. Mastering the full version was urgent.
“use!”
boom!
A torrent of information so huge that it was almost terrifying, without any buffer, rushed directly into his mind!
The principle of extreme compression of chakra form changes! The subtle integration technique of wind attribute changes! The optimal frequency and angle control of energy injection during high-speed rotation! The formula for grasping the force and predicting the trajectory at the moment of throwing!
There are countless key steps, cultivation tips, energy flow diagrams, precautions, and even a large amount of experience and shocking failure case analysis left by the first generation of developers during the cultivation process…
All the information squeezed his consciousness like a solid entity. It was extremely clear, yet so complex that it made his scalp numb.
“So… that’s how it is…”
As Lin Feng digested this information, he felt as if an entire library was forced into his brain. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead and his face turned slightly pale.
It was not until this moment that he truly understood that the thing he had forcibly rubbed out in the battle yesterday with his ruthlessness and the blessing of the [Rage Potion] was simply a semi-finished product with a simple structure, violent energy, and extreme instability! It was not even a prototype!
The ability to accurately hit and severely injure the “Night Owl” was due, in addition to surprise, to at least half luck.
The complete [Wind Style: Rasenshuriken] requires a level of control over the ninja chakra, the degree of mastery of form changes, and the depth of integration of nature changes! There can be no deviation in any link!
No wonder it was listed as an S-level forbidden technique! No wonder even the gifted protagonist of the original novel suffered severe backlash when he used it in the early stage! This is not a trick that normal people can use regularly!
After a brief moment of shock and fear, instead of retreating in the eyes of Lin Feng, a more intense flame burned in his eyes!
The harder it is, the more worthy it is to conquer!
The more powerful it is, the more worthwhile it is to invest energy in mastering it!
“It’s you!”
Lin Feng stood up suddenly, his eyes as sharp as a knife, and the previous feeling of weakness seemed to be swept away by this determination.
He strode towards the small training ground specially equipped in the safe house.
Standing in the middle of the empty space, he closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing, sorted out the complex information in his mind, and then slowly stretched out his restored right hand.
Eliminate distracting thoughts and concentrate your mind.
According to the first step recorded in the scroll, which is also the most basic step, I began to try to condense chakra in the palm of my hand and practice the form change of [Rasenshuriken]!
laugh……
A small ball of chakra gathered in the palm of his hand and began to try to rotate… Then, with a puff, it collapsed.
Lin Feng’s eyes twitched.
Very good, it is not that easy after all.
He concentrated again and started his second attempt.

Lin Feng calmed his mind and cleared his mind of all distracting thoughts.
He concentrated his mind and energy, meticulously controlling the wind chakra in his body, and carefully guided it to flow into the palm of his right hand according to the mind-numbingly complicated method on the scroll.
The first goal is also the most basic but most critical step – to change the chakra into an extreme form, compressing it into countless tiny and sharp “needles”! This is the source of the destructive power of the spiral shuriken.
Chi chi chi…
A ball of green chakra came out at the call, and as soon as it appeared, it rolled and spun violently in his palm, making a sharp and piercing friction sound, like someone was scraping glass with a blunt knife.
The rotation was chaotic, and the energy was so violent that it could get out of control at any time. Rather than being called a “wind needle”, it was more like a messy, fuzzy-edged chakra ball. It did not have the fine, dust-like, cutting-edge sharpness described in the scroll.
puff!
With a dull thud, the chakra ball exploded without warning, disintegrating into free energy and disappearing into the air.
“Damn it!” Lin Feng couldn’t help but curse in a low voice and shook his hands which were numb from the shock.
After just a few failed attempts, the chakra in his body flowed away like a tap, and his spirit quickly felt heavy and exhausted. What was even worse was that the familiar tearing pain in the depths of his right arm, which had just recovered, reappeared faintly, as if protesting silently.
The difficulty of practicing this damn thing was beyond his expectation! It was more than ten times more difficult than any ninjutsu he had mastered before! It was pure torture!
But his eyes did not waver at all. The more difficult it is, the more worthwhile it is to accomplish.
Lin Feng closed his eyes and rapidly replayed every detail on the scroll in his mind, every node where chakra flowed, and every key point of energy conversion.
At the same time, he activated the [Mark of Wind (Primary)] between his eyebrows with a thought.
An invisible sense of perception instantly spread, giving him an unprecedented insight into the flow of his own chakra. He seemed to be able to “see” the trajectory of the chakra running through the meridians, and “feel” the unstable fluctuations of every bit of energy when they condensed in the palm of his hand.
Come again!
Lin Feng condensed chakra again, and this time, he took the initiative to integrate the ability of [Whisper of the Wind God] into his perception.
No longer rely solely on vision and feeling, but use your heart to “listen”. Listen to every tiny, discordant “noise” in the violent rotation of the chakra flow, and capture every key node of energy conflict and imminent loss of control.
The frequency of chakra output needs to be adjusted, the intensity needs to be controlled, and the angle of injection needs to be more precise… Based on the subtle insights of the [Mark of the Wind] and the energy conflict information captured by the [Whisper of the Wind God], he made extremely subtle adjustments over and over again, tirelessly.
[Ding! It is detected that the host is currently practicing the high-difficulty wind escape nature change and form change, [Wind escape chakra nature change] proficiency +10, [Chakra control] ability +5. ]The long-lost system prompt sound rang in my mind. Although the improvement was not large, it was like a shot in the arm.
It works!
Lin Feng’s spirits lifted, and his restless heart calmed down completely. He focused all his attention on the restless green energy in his palm, completely immersed in it, forgetting the passage of time and temporarily ignoring the fatigue signals constantly coming from his body.
In the small training field, the only sounds were the puffing sound of chakra condensing and dissipating again and again, and Lin Feng’s own breathing which was gradually becoming heavy and suppressed.
fail.
Analyze and adjust.
Failed again.
Reanalyze, re-adjust…
Sweat silently seeped out from the corners of his forehead, quickly gathered into a stream, slid down his cheeks, and wet his collar. His black suit was soaked with sweat, sticking tightly to his skin, causing some discomfort.
But his eyes, instead of dimming, became brighter through all the failures and adjustments. They were as focused as two cold stars in the dark night, burning with the determination to never give up until the goal was achieved.
I don’t know how much time has passed, an hour? Two hours? Or even longer?
Just when Lin Feng felt that his mental strength and chakra were almost running out, when he once again almost instinctively condensed his chakra, changes finally happened!
laugh–
A steady and clear sound that was completely different from the previous ones!
The rotation of the wind chakra in the palm of his hand suddenly became extremely stable and coordinated! The harsh noise before completely disappeared, replaced by a humming sound with a strange rhythm produced by high-frequency vibration!
Countless green wind blades, so fine that they are almost indistinguishable with the naked eye, rotate and vibrate at high speed, precisely interlocking with each other, forming the prototype of a small chakra ball that rotates stably and emits a faint green light!
The green energy halo was flowing unsteadily, but no longer violent. Instead, it exuded a restrained yet even more heart-pounding extremely sharp aura!
“It’s done!”
A huge joy suddenly surged in Lin Feng’s heart, and he almost cheered!
The first stage! The extreme compression of the form change was finally gnawed by him!
Although he knew that this was only the first step in a long journey, and was still a long way from a real, throwable spiral shuriken, it was undoubtedly a milestone breakthrough! It proved that he was on the right track!
He forced himself to suppress his inner excitement, took a deep breath, not daring to relax for a moment, and immediately concentrated and began to try the second stage of practice.
Maintain the extreme compression of the palm, and at the same time, incorporate the high-speed rotation into it! Let the form and nature be perfectly combined, and maintain this extremely dangerous and unstable balance!
Buzz!!!
Just when he tried to increase the rotation speed of the chakra ball and inject wind attribute changes, the difficulty suddenly increased by several orders of magnitude again!
The chakra ball in the palm of his hand that had just stabilized suddenly began to vibrate violently! It seemed as if it would explode in the next second!
The extreme form compression and the violent high-speed rotation created an irreconcilable conflict. The two forces were like two wild beasts trapped in a small cage, biting and colliding with each other frantically!
The balance point becomes extremely fragile. With the slightest deviation, the condensed energy will be completely out of control!
A tiny, out-of-control wind blade suddenly broke free from the edge of the chakra ball, so fast that its trajectory was almost invisible. It brushed past the tip of his index finger, leaving a string of fine blood beads!
Here it comes again! Although the backlash is small, the pain is clear!
Lin Feng let out a suppressed groan from his throat, and his entire arm felt a brief numbness. But his expression did not change at all, and the self-healing power of [Immortal Body] was quickly activated, and the wound on his fingertips stopped bleeding almost instantly.
He gritted his teeth, mobilized all his chakra control, pushed the perception of [Wind Mark] to the limit, and accurately monitored the flow of every bit of energy. The ability of [Wind God Whisper] was fully operational, keenly capturing every outbreak point of energy conflict, predicting the trend of losing control, and then again and again, struggling to adjust the delicate balance of energy output.
Sweat flowed into his eyes, bringing a burning pain, but he didn’t even blink, his whole mind was focused on the increasingly dangerous energy ball in his palm.
finally!
After countless attempts to be on the verge of losing control and countless subtle adjustments, just when he felt that the last bit of his chakra was about to be drained!
Buzz——!!!
A strange buzzing sound that was sharper and higher-pitched than before, as if it could directly penetrate the eardrums and cut through the soul, suddenly resounded throughout the training ground!
The chakra ball in his palm, which was composed of billions of fine wind blades, finally stabilized completely and started spinning wildly at a terrifying speed!
A dazzling green light burst out, illuminating his face with a green glow. That light contained a destructive aura that made even the soul tremble!
[Wind Style: Rasenshuriken (unfinished)]!
It’s taking shape! Although it’s not ready to be sold, it already has a prototype!
Three things to do when reading: read, collect, and reward!

Chapter 103 Artifact Assist Bottleneck Breaking (Old Version)
The blue chakra ball spun wildly in his palm, emitting a high-pitched and sharp humming sound. The violent energy even caused the surrounding air to slightly distort. The destructive aura rushed towards him, almost condensing into substance.
Lin Feng stared at the energy ball that condensed all his mind and almost exhausted chakra. A strong sense of accomplishment mixed with fear surged in his heart, making his head feel a little hot.
It’s done! [Wind Style: Rasenshuriken (Unfinished)]! Although it’s only a semi-finished product, it’s definitely powerful enough to be seen.
But now I can only hold this thing in my hand like this, like a hot potato, or like a bomb that can blow me up at any time.
He knew very well that there was still one crucial step away from the real killer move – throwing!
The warnings left by the developers on the scroll based on their own painful experiences are no joke. The unfinished spiral shuriken has a messed up internal energy structure, chaotic and violent. As long as you try to give it kinetic energy to throw, the destructive chakra storm will immediately rush back along the arm and completely tear the caster’s arm apart from the smallest cellular level! Just thinking about it makes your scalp numb.
Unless the changes in shape and properties can be perfectly integrated to the extreme, achieving a nearly miraculous dynamic stability, it can be safely thrown out to hit people.
Lin Feng’s eyes flickered, but he refused to believe it. He carefully controlled the buzzing energy ball in his palm, trying to simulate the action of throwing, even if it was just a very slight tilt of the wrist.
The chakra ball in his palm was like an enraged beehive, trembling violently, the axis of rotation shifted instantly, and the energy became even more frantic! A few tiny wind blades that were almost impossible to catch with the naked eye escaped from the edge, cutting through the air with a hissing sound, making a teeth-grinding scraping sound, and even leaving a few shallow white marks on the edge of his gloves.
Balance is so hard to master! This is simply playing with fire!
Lin Feng’s forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he quickly mobilized the remaining chakra to stabilize the energy ball that could explode at any time, and then dispersed the energy carefully with lingering fear. Waves of soreness came from the muscles in his arms, which was the backlash of excessive consumption and forced control.
No, absolutely not! I can’t find that balance at all!
He tried several more times, being very careful each time, but the result was the same. As soon as he tried to make it slip out of his hand, the internal energy immediately became violent and on the verge of losing control.
He lowered his arms dejectedly, feeling as if he had put all his strength into it but ended up bumping into an invisible thick wall, making him dizzy.
bottleneck!
The precise control of chakra, the perfect fusion of nature and form… It sounds easy on the scroll, but it’s a life-threatening thing to do. This thing requires more than just hard work, I’m afraid it also requires a little bit of… talent or external force.
He took a few deep breaths, and the fatigue surged over him like a tide. The fatigue after high concentration was more uncomfortable than simple physical exhaustion.
It’s too inefficient to keep training like this, and it’s just being hard on your arms. If you break them, you’ll have nowhere to cry.
We need to change our thinking.
Lin Feng’s eyes moved slightly, his consciousness sank into his mind, and he looked at the empty system interface.
Previously, I killed the “Night Owl” gang and completed the tricky mission assigned by the old Hokage. The system rewarded me with a lot of lottery points, but I was reluctant to use them. Now, it’s time to use them.
“system!”
Lin Feng muttered to himself, his tone filled with unquestionable determination and a hint of expectation.
“Give me a gold-level lottery! Specified direction: Assistance in Ninjutsu training! It would be best if it can solve this big problem in front of us!”
[Ding! Consuming a gold-level lottery opportunity… Designated direction: Ninjutsu training assistance… Drawing…]A familiar system prompt sounded, and a golden virtual roulette wheel spun rapidly in Lin Feng’s mind, with the pointer passing through dazzling icons.
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Chakra Precision Control Gloves (Gold Level)! After wearing them, the accuracy and stability of chakra output can be greatly improved, especially for the fusion of form change and property change! ]Here it comes! Whatever you want comes true!
Lin Feng was so overjoyed that he almost couldn’t hold back his expression. This system was really reliable at the critical moment!
The next second, a pair of special gloves flashing with light golden light appeared out of thin air in his hands.
The gloves were made of extremely thin material, and felt cool to the touch. They were soft, smooth, and almost weightless when worn on the hands. They fit perfectly, like a second skin. The surface of the gloves was engraved with countless intricate and complex golden runes that flowed like living things. There was a faint energy flowing through them, emitting a faint golden halo, mysterious and powerful.
It’s really like someone sends you a pillow just when you’re sleepy! This system reward comes at the perfect time!
Lin Feng could no longer suppress his excitement and put on the gloves impatiently.
A gentle and strange energy flowed into his arms the moment the gloves touched his skin, and quickly flowed through the chakra meridians of his body like a trickle.
Lin Feng clearly felt an unprecedented sense of control surge into his heart! His perception and control of the chakra in his body seemed to be magnified countless times in an instant, and suddenly improved to a qualitative level!
The subtle energy flows that were originally sluggish and difficult to grasp accurately now became as clear as the movement of one’s fingers, and the trajectory of each chakra particle was clearly visible.
It was as if his nerve endings were infinitely extended through this pair of magical gloves, directly touching every subtle fluctuation of chakra, truly making it possible for him to control it as if by his own arms!
“Come again!”
Lin Feng took a deep breath, and his eyes were rekindled with fighting spirit and strong confidence. He stretched out his right hand again, his eyes as sharp as a knife, full of confidence.
Concentrate chakra!
Shape change!
Nature changes and integration!
Buzz——!
This time, the process was much smoother! It can be described as silky smooth!
With the help of the [Chakra Precision Control Gloves], the originally violently conflicting and difficult to control changes in form and nature were like being gently guided and combed by a pair of invisible big hands. The energy that was originally a tangled mess now became orderly and quickly merged and stabilized at an efficiency far exceeding before!
The cyan chakra ball in the palm of his hand was still spinning wildly, making a high-pitched humming sound, but the previous strong sense of instability that could collapse and lose control at any time was greatly weakened! Instead, it was replaced by a more restrained, more condensed, and more dangerous aura.
Although, Lin Feng could clearly feel that he was still some distance away from having a truly perfectly balanced, safely thrown Rasenshuriken.
But the appearance of this pair of gloves has undoubtedly shortened this originally unreachable distance countless times!
The efficiency of cultivation has been increased by at least several times! Or even more!
Lin Feng’s mouth corners finally couldn’t help but rise up, revealing a smile full of confidence and expectation.
Stop practicing the Rasenshuriken temporarily. Continuous high-intensity practice is exhausting for the mind and arms. You need to relax a bit. The best way is to combine work and rest.
With a thought, he took out the mysterious [Swift Escape Fragment (1/3)] that he had not had time to study before from the system space.
The fragment was still only the size of a fingernail, with a strange blue-gray color throughout, and a smooth surface like a mirror, but it felt cold like metal when touched. It lay quietly in Lin Feng’s palm, but it exuded an indescribable energy fluctuation, as if it contained the extreme speed and mysterious meaning of the wind.
Lin Feng tried to mobilize the chakra in his body and carefully sense the secrets hidden within the fragments.
However, when his chakra touched the fragment as if to test it, it was swallowed up instantly, without any reaction, let alone analyzing the mystery contained in it. The fragment still lay there quietly, like an ordinary stone without any life.
The system also did not give any hints on how to use the fragment, as if it was really just an ordinary stone.
Lin Feng frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
It seems that this [Swift Release] Bloodline Limit cannot be mastered immediately after obtaining the fragments.
Either all three fragments need to be gathered to produce a qualitative change and activate the true power of the bloodline limit; or certain special and unknown activation conditions need to be met.
He had no idea for the time being, and he was too lazy to waste time guessing. The activation method would eventually come to light, and there was no point in thinking too much now.
Lin Feng shook his head, carefully put away the [Swift Escape Fragment] and put it back into the system space.
Eat your food one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.
The most urgent task is to thoroughly master the Rasenshuriken, this powerful weapon! This is the key to improving your strength!
Chapter 104: Late-night Secret Chat Feng Ling Appears (Old Version)
The next day, just after dawn, there were rhythmic knocks on the door of the safe house.
Lin Feng opened the door and saw an Anbu ninja codenamed “Mountain Cat” standing outside. He looked him up and down with sharp eyes behind the mask.
“You’re recovering well.” Lynx’s voice came through the mask, deep and hoarse, “Much faster than expected.”
He paused for a moment, and his tone turned serious: “The Sandaime-sama has ordered that the special operations team begin operations immediately.”
“The first mission is to secretly investigate the possible presence of the Black Feather Organization’s accomplices or bases within Konoha. The fact that Night Owl was able to escape successfully, coupled with the strange cooperation of those guys from the Root, all these signs indicate that something is wrong within.”
Shanmao handed over a scroll: “This is the preliminary screening intelligence. There are several mid-level ninjas whose recent behavior is suspicious. You can judge for yourself.”
He emphasized: “Remember, this operation must be kept absolutely confidential. No one should be alerted, especially the Root. We suspect that a high-level or important department has been infiltrated. Do you understand?”
“I understand.” Lin Feng took the scroll and his expression became serious.
Internal investigation? It sounds much more troublesome than hunting down the rebel ninja outside, and you have to be restrained.
The bobcat’s figure flashed, blended silently into the dim light before dawn, and disappeared.
Lin Feng closed the door and immediately unfolded the scroll. There were several names listed on it, along with basic information and some recent abnormal behavior records, such as contact with unidentified persons and sudden improvement in financial status, etc. The clues were rather vague.
This alone was not enough. He needed more detailed information.
Using the temporary authority granted by “Mountain Cat”, Lin Feng changed into a standard Anbu uniform, put on a blank mask to conceal his identity, and quietly sneaked into the Anbu’s dedicated database.
The stone chamber was cold, and the air was filled with the mixed smell of old paper and ink. Rows of tall bookshelves were filled with scrolls that recorded Konoha’s countless secrets and personnel files.
Lin Feng moved quickly, searching for the detailed files of the target person one by one according to the name on the scroll. His fingertips slid across the neat lines of handwriting, recording the life trajectories, mission experiences, and interpersonal relationships of these ninjas.
Finally, his eyes were fixed on the file of a Chunin named “Nohara”.
This person is affiliated with the village’s logistics department and is responsible for the dispatch of some materials. The archives show that a small amount of strategic materials he handled recently went unaccounted for, and the records were vague and had obvious signs of alteration.
What is even more noticeable is that this guy is a loner, has almost no friends, keeps to himself, and has a deliberately clean social circle. This kind of person is either really pure and unselfish to the extreme, or is carefully disguised and hiding a secret.
“Let’s start with you.” Lin Feng closed the scroll, having already made a decision in his mind.
He took off his ANBU uniform and changed back into an inconspicuous grey casual outfit, suppressing his chakra fluctuations to a minimum. [Breath Blocking Technique (Elementary)] was activated silently, and the whole person seemed to turn into a faint shadow, silently blending into the shadows of the street, sneaking towards the direction of “Nohara”‘s residence.
“Nohara”‘s home is in a relatively remote corner of the village. It has its own door and yard. From the outside, it looks no different from the surrounding houses. It is so ordinary that it cannot be more ordinary.
Lin Feng found a corner nearby with a good view and sufficient concealment – deep in the crown of a large tree with dense branches and leaves. Like the most experienced hunter, he began the long and boring wait and surveillance.
The first day was uneventful. “Nohara” went to work in the logistics department on time, returned home in the evening, bought some vegetables on the way, and cooked at home. His life was as regular as an old man who had entered old age early, and there was no sign of abnormality.
The next day, it was the same. Lin Feng hid in the shade of the tree, chewing dry food expressionlessly to replenish his energy. His eyes were calm and he did not show any anxiety. Patience is the first element of lurking and hunting. Impatience will only cause trouble.
On the third day, late at night, everything was silent, thick dark clouds blocked the moonlight, and the night was as dark as ink.
Lin Feng closed his eyes to rest, but did not relax his vigilance. The ability of [Wind God’s Whisper] spread out like an invisible spider web, carefully sensing every movement in the surrounding environment.
Suddenly, an extremely weak energy fluctuation, but with an undisguised evil and cold aura, like a slippery venomous snake, quietly broke into the perception range of [Whisper of the Wind God]!
He was very familiar with this energy fluctuation! It was the [Black Feather Energy]!
Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes, and his pupils shrank instantly! It’s finally here!
He immediately held his breath, reduced his body’s presence to a minimum, and completely merged into the darkness.
A figure covered in a large black robe appeared in sight. The man’s movements were incredibly fast, and his movement trajectory was erratic and strange, perfectly avoiding the perception and sight of all the night patrol ninjas. Like a real ghost, he quietly approached the wall of the “Nohara” family in a few moves, and then jumped into the yard and sneaked into the house.
What a fast speed, what a strange stealth skill! This skill is definitely not ordinary.
Lin Feng’s heart trembled slightly, and he did not act rashly. He quietly approached the courtyard wall, moved his fingertips slightly, and condensed a trace of almost imperceptible [Wind Mark] energy fluctuations, which were ejected with incredible precision and silently attached to the back of the black-robed man, leaving a tracking mark.
At the same time, the ability of [Clairaudience] was fully activated and adjusted to the best reception state. The conversation in the house was clearly transmitted to the ears, as if it was whispered next to the ears.
“Are the things ready?” A deliberately low, hoarse voice like the friction of metal sounded. It was the man in black robe.
“Not yet… not yet…” Nohara’s voice came, full of uncontrollable fear and violent trembling, “The Wind Spirit Crystal is guarded too closely, I… I still need some time…”
“Time?” The black-robed man’s voice suddenly became chilling and cold. “The organization doesn’t have that much patience to wait for you! The Chunin Exam is the best opportunity, and you must get the stuff before then! When the time comes, someone will create chaos in the exam room to attract attention and cooperate with your actions. Do you understand?”
“But…but sir, I…” Nohara seemed to want to argue something.
“Shut up!” The man in black robe interrupted him rudely, his voice full of murderous intent, “Don’t forget that your family is still in our hands! Follow the plan honestly, otherwise… you should know the consequences!”
Nohara’s voice suddenly stopped, leaving only the heavy, desperate and suppressed breathing echoing in the silent house.
Wind Spirit Crystal? Chaos during the Chunin Exam? Family members being held hostage?
A series of information exploded in Lin Feng’s mind, and his eyes instantly became icy cold, like icicles in the cold winter.
As expected, I found the right person and found a big fish! And it involves the upcoming Chunin Exam and an important item, the “Wind Spirit Crystal”.
He suppressed the urge to rush in and capture the two men immediately. If he alerted the enemy now and let the man in black robe escape, he would suffer a great loss.
We should wait for the black-robed man to leave, and then capture this spineless person named “Nohara”. Since his family is being coerced, he will be happy to reveal everything he knows in order to save his life. By then, we can follow the clues and perhaps find more members of the Black Feather Organization lurking in Konoha.
Chapter 105: Capturing the traitor at night and obtaining the secret (old version)
The figure of the man in black robe was like a ghost blending into thick ink, and after a few flashes, he completely disappeared into the deep night.
The trajectory of its movement was so strange that it didn’t seem human, with an inhuman speed and erraticness.
Lin Feng lurked in the shadows and did not pursue immediately.
The [Mark of Wind] left on the opponent’s body is still there, the monk can’t escape and the temple can’t escape.
Right now, the shivering wimp in the room is the priority.
After confirming that the “Crow Claw” had indeed gone far away and that there were no more cold and evil fluctuations of [Black Feather Energy] within the sensing range, Lin Feng no longer hesitated.
He moved his body slightly, like the most nimble nocturnal creature, tapping the top of the wall with his toes, and without raising any dust, he silently climbed over the courtyard wall.
It landed silently.
He followed the shadow of the wall and walked around to a half-open window.
[Wind God Whispers] The only sound captured in the house was Nohara’s heavy and frightened breathing.
very good.
With a slight movement of his fingertips, a gentle breeze quietly pried open the window bolt, and he slipped into the house like a slippery shadow.
At this moment, Nohara was slumped on the cold wooden floor, his face as pale as paper and his forehead covered with cold sweat. It was obvious that he had not yet recovered from the pressure and death threat from the man in black robe.
His eyes were blank and his lips were trembling. He was completely unaware that death was approaching behind him.
Suddenly, there was a piercing cold touch on the neck!
A kunai flashing with cold light was already pressing against his throat artery!
The touch of the cold metal made his hair stand on end!
“who?!”
Nohara screamed in horror, and almost instinctively wanted to struggle and resist, mobilizing the little chakra in his body.
However, just as he thought about it, a clamp-like hand precisely grasped his wrist joint and twisted it violently!
“Crack!”
The severe pain from the dislocated bones made his eyes go dark, and his scream was forced back into his throat!
The next second, a huge force came down and pinned him to the ground, making him unable to move!
“Be quiet, or you’ll die.”
A voice that was so cold and devoid of any human emotion rang in his ears, like a judgment from the Netherworld.
“Who was that person just now? Code name? Purpose? What are you planning? Tell me everything you know, word for word!”
The voice was not loud, but it carried a chilling murderous intent that made one’s soul tremble.
Nohara could clearly feel the undisguised murderous aura emanating from the person behind him. It was purer and more terrifying than the “Crow Claw” just now!
He had no doubt that if he made the slightest move or concealed anything, his throat would be cut immediately!
The instinct for survival overwhelms all fear and so-called loyalty.
His face was as pale as a ghost, his body was shaking violently, and he began to explain in a broken voice with a sobbing tone:
“It’s… it’s the ‘Crow Claw’… the superior of the Black Feather Organization…”
“I… I accidentally killed a civilian when I was on a mission in my early years, and they caught me…”
“They forced me… forced me to pass on information to them, and… and help get some supplies…”
Nohara’s voice was filled with despair and regret.
“This time… ‘Crow Claw’ ordered me to use my position in the logistics department to create some chaos during the Chunin Exam, such as… a fire in an important material warehouse, or… or a problem with the supply route…”
“He said… this would attract the attention of the village leaders and make it easier for them to carry out other… other actions…”
Fear made him speak faster and faster, for fear that he would be silenced if he spoke too slowly.
“He also mentioned… [Wind Spirit Crystal]! Yes! That’s it!”
Nohara’s voice suddenly rose as if he had remembered some key information.
“He said that the organization is determined to get this thing! He said… something that has a major relationship with their [Advent of the Wind God] plan!”
At the crucial moment when Nohara uttered the words “The God of Wind has arrived”!
Something strange happened suddenly!
An extremely strange black light suddenly flashed in the depths of his eyes, which were originally filled with fear!
A weak but extremely evil, destructive [Black Feather Energy] suddenly burst out from his body, rushing madly along his meridians, aiming directly at his brain and heart!
not good!
It is some kind of self-destruction or silencing restriction set in the body!
These bastards are so cruel!
Lin Feng’s reaction was extremely fast. Almost at the same time when the black light flashed, his left hand pressed on Nohara’s back like lightning!
[Purifying Wind]!
launch!
A stream of pure, gentle green air with unparalleled purifying power, like a surging tide, instantly forced into Nohara’s body, accurately meeting the runaway black feather energy!
Nohara suddenly arched his body and opened his mouth to spit out a large mouthful of smelly and sticky black blood!
The black blood fell on the floor, making a “sizzling” corrosion sound and emitting bursts of black smoke.
Most of the black feather energy in his body was dispersed and purified by the [Purifying Wind], but the impact of the violent energy and the conflict during the purification process still caused great damage to his body.
Nohara’s body collapsed limply, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted completely.
The important intelligence clues come to an abrupt end here!
Lin Feng frowned and placed his fingers on Nohara’s carotid artery to confirm that he was still alive, but in a deep coma.
He quickly checked Nohara’s body and soon sensed an extremely vicious and complex energy imprint near his heart – the [Black Feather Curse]!
This curse seal is closely connected to the host’s soul and chakra core. Once the host leaks core secrets, or is captured by the enemy and attempts are made to search his soul, the curse seal will be triggered immediately, detonating the latent black feather energy and completely destroying the host, leaving even the soul unable to be preserved!
If he hadn’t reacted quickly enough and possessed the [Purifying Wind] that could restrain evil energy, Nohara would probably have become a charred corpse now.
“Tsk, trouble.”
Lin Feng let out a low sigh, knowing that it would be impossible to get anything out of the unconscious Nohara in the short term.
We can only hope that Konoha’s interrogation experts or medical ninjas can wake him up without triggering the curse, or find a way to remove the curse.
But this takes time and is extremely risky.
He stood up and began to scan the simply furnished room quickly with his sharp eyes.
Don’t come here in vain.
More valuable clues must be found!
Relying on the subtle perception of energy by the [Mark of Wind], Lin Feng quickly focused his attention on an inconspicuous corner under the bed.
There, there is a patch of floor where the energy flows slightly differently than everywhere else.
He walked over and tapped with his fingers.
The sound is dull.
There is indeed a secret compartment!
After prying open the floor, there was a small secret compartment underneath, which was made of special materials to isolate the chakra perception.
In the secret compartment, there lay quietly a thick account book with a black cover, encrypted with a special password, and a small feather as black as a crow’s feather.
The feather was cold to the touch, with an ominous black glow on its surface, and it emitted the same weak but pure [Black Feather Energy] as the “Crow’s Claw”.
【bite!】
[Special item detected: Black Feather Organization’s token (incomplete)! Submit it to the system to exchange for a small amount of intelligence value or to track a specific target! ][Special item detected: Encrypted intelligence ledger! Contains some of the secret transaction records of the Black Feather Organization in Konoha. A lot of intelligence can be obtained after cracking it! ][The completion rate of the special mission “Eliminate the Traitors” increased by 15%! Lottery points obtained: 300 points! ]The system’s prompt sounded at the right time, finally making Lin Feng’s mood a little better.
An unexpected gain, not bad.
The account book and feathers may become a new breakthrough in tearing open the Black Feather Organization’s hidden network in Konoha.
Chapter 106: The traitor is caught and rewarded (old version)
The night was still dark, and the lights in the safe house cast flickering shadows on the walls.
Lin Feng quickly tied up the unconscious Nohara and used a sealing technique to temporarily suppress the remaining chakra fluctuations in his body. Then, like dealing with a troublesome piece of garbage, he dragged him to a corner to make sure he would not get in the way. The encrypted account book with a dark cover and an ominous aura and the cold crow feather were carefully placed on the table. Under the light, the edge of the feather glowed with a strange black light.
He did not delay, and skillfully made a few specific hand seals, and sent a contact signal to the outside world through the special code left by “Lynx” before. The efficiency was surprisingly high, as if the other party was waiting nearby. In less than ten minutes, a vague black shadow appeared silently at the door of the safe house, and the outline gradually became clear in the dimness. It was “Lynx” wearing a standard animal face mask.
“Yobate” pushed the door open and walked in, his movements smooth and alert. The sight behind the mask was like a physical object. He immediately swept over Nohara, who was curled up on the ground, and then fixed his gaze sharply on the account book on the table and the black feather that didn’t fit in. When his eyes touched the feather, even through the mask, one could feel that his entire breath froze for a moment, and the air around him seemed to get a little colder.
“Situation.” Bobcat’s voice was still that deliberately low and hoarse, but this time, there was a hint of urgency that was hard to conceal, more obvious than any previous time.
“Target confirmed, codename ‘Nohara’, a Chunin from the logistics department.” Lin Feng pointed at the captive on the ground and reported calmly, “We just caught him in the act. A member of the Black Feather Organization codenamed ‘Crow Claw’ came to contact him. He planned to use Nohara’s position to create chaos in the logistics department during the Chunin Exams in order to cover their theft of the [Wind Spirit Crystal].”
He paused for a moment, observing Shanmao’s reaction, and continued to add key information: “‘Crow Claw’ mentioned in person that the [Wind Spirit Crystal] is crucial to their so-called [Advent of the Wind God] plan. In addition, a [Black Feather Curse] was planted in Nohara’s body. When he tried to reveal the ‘Advent of the Wind God’ plan just now, the curse was triggered. I used some special means to temporarily suppress it. The person is still alive, but he has fainted. It is estimated that he will not wake up in a short time.” Lin Feng pushed the account book and feather to Shanmao: “This was found in the secret compartment where he was hiding. The account book is encrypted. This feather is probably some kind of communication token or identity mark within their organization.”
“Crow’s Claw… Wind Spirit Crystal… Wind God’s Descend…” Shanmao repeated these fatal keywords in a low voice. His face behind the mask must have been so gloomy that water could drip out. “【Black Feather Curse Seal】… You can actually suppress it?” The look he gave Lin Feng was no longer just scrutiny, but a deeper level of inquiry, which eventually turned into substantial recognition. This kid always managed to come up with some unexpected moves.
“Lucky, my chakra is special, and it just happens to have a restraining effect on that kind of evil ways.” Lin Feng explained vaguely, and naturally would not easily expose the trump card of [Purifying Wind]. The system’s products must be high-quality, but they must be used in a hidden way.
“Well done!” This time, Shanmao’s praise seemed very genuine, no longer a procedural evaluation, “Not only did we catch the traitor, but we also dug out such important information! Especially saving his life, which provides us with an extremely valuable opportunity to crack the [Black Feather Curse] and even follow the clues to find more clues!” He no longer hesitated, and immediately issued a series of commands through the internal channel using the concise instructions unique to the Anbu.
Soon, as if emerging from the shadows, several members of the Anbu, dressed in the same attire and with extremely restrained auras, appeared silently in the room. They moved professionally and quickly. Two of them carried the unconscious Nohara away neatly, while the other carefully put away the encrypted account book in a special container. The last technical Anbu member, wearing special gloves, picked up the black feather, closed his eyes and carefully sensed it for a moment, then nodded to Shanmao and reported in the same low voice: “Captain, the energy fluctuations have been confirmed. It is a contact token used by members of the Black Feather Organization at the middle level and above. The fluctuation characteristics are very unique. You can try to use it to track specific targets or conduct identity comparisons.”
“Very good.” Shanmao nodded slightly, indicating that they could leave. In a blink of an eye, he and Lin Feng were the only ones left in the room.
“You have made great contributions in this operation.” Shanmao looked at Lin Feng with an unprecedented serious tone, “Finding the traitor and obtaining key intelligence has prevented the village from suffering heavy losses and chaos at this critical juncture of the Chunin Exam. This contribution will be reported truthfully.” He took out two scrolls and a small bottle of purple-glowing potion from the ninja tool bag on his waist and placed them on the table. “This is part of your reward. A batch of high-quality blank scrolls, which are convenient for you to record your ninjutsu experience or intelligence. And this bottle, [Advanced Chakra Recovery Potion], can replenish a large amount of chakra in an instant, which can save lives at critical moments. It is much stronger than those on the market.”
Lin Feng’s eyes lit up, and he took it without hesitation. The blank scroll was warm and tough, obviously a top-grade product specially supplied to the Anbu. The potion contained a surging energy that could be felt through the bottle. It was definitely a treasure that could turn the tables at a critical moment. Not bad, not bad, the venture capital finally paid off.
“These are just basic rewards.” Shanmao watched Lin Feng put away the things and continued, “More importantly, based on your performance this time and the value of the intelligence you obtained, your evaluation within the Anbu has been updated. From now on, you are no longer a ‘newcomer who needs to be observed’, but a ‘reliable and capable backbone member’. This means that you will have access to higher-level tasks and intelligence, and can also mobilize some Anbu resources.”
Lin Feng’s heart moved, but his face remained calm. Core members? It sounds much better. The increase in authority is a real benefit. It should be much more convenient to search for information and apply for resources in the future.
“The Sandaime-sama is aware of this.” Shanmao lowered his voice even lower, with a meaning that only the two of them could understand. “He is very satisfied with your performance. He has personally ordered the highest-level expert team of the intelligence department to be responsible for cracking the account book and immediately raising the protection level of the [Wind Spirit Crystal] to the highest level. At the same time, the Hokage has instructed that we should pay close attention to all abnormal movements in the Sand Village and other villages during the upcoming Chunin Exam.”
Lin Feng’s name was no longer just the name of the lucky ninja who happened to get information about Orochimaru, but he left a deep impression on the core power of Konoha through his real lurking, arresting, intelligence mining and crisis handling capabilities. He was a reliable fighting force with courage, strategy and special abilities.
He could keenly feel that the scrutiny, questioning and even a hint of xenophobia from his colleagues in the Anbu had now quietly turned into a level gaze, mixed with a bit of barely perceptible recognition and awe. Sure enough, having a strong fist and great achievements is the most universal hard truth in the ninja world. Lin Feng silently gave himself a thumbs up in his heart. This feeling of winning respect through strength is indeed… a needle does not poke!
“However,” Shanmao changed the subject, a warning flashed from behind his cold mask, “Although the operation to capture Nohara was secretive, the Crow Claw must have noticed it. The Black Feather Organization is secretive and ruthless. They may lie dormant for a while, change their original plan, or even… retaliate against you. You must be more careful in the near future. The difficulty and danger of subsequent investigations will increase sharply.”
“Understood.” Lin Feng nodded, a sharp light flashing in his eyes. Revenge? Come on and try.
When an enemy comes, we will fight him; when water comes, we will block it with earth. Whether it is the Black Feather Organization or potential enemies, they will only become a sharpening stone for him to become stronger and… a cash machine for lottery points! What he is more concerned about now is how to master the infinitely powerful [Rasenshuriken] in his mind as soon as possible, and what kind of power the mysterious [Swift Escape Fragment] contains.
Strength is always the most powerful trump card to deal with all troubles and dangers. You must hurry up and practice!
Chapter 107: Gambling on the Swift Escape Fragment (Old Version)
After dealing with the hot potato of “Nohara”, the safe house returned to silence again, with only the flickering lights.
Lin Feng exhaled a breath of foul air. It had consumed a lot of energy to suppress the [Black Feather Curse] just now, but he was extremely excited at the moment.
He flipped his hand and took out the [Swift Escape Fragment (1/3)] that he had kept close to him.
The fragments are cold to the touch, and their texture is neither gold nor jade. The surface is covered with mysterious patterns, and exudes a sharp and elegant aura.
This thing is a bloodline limit with unlimited potential!
He put on the pair of [Chakra Precision Control Gloves] produced by the system and took a deep breath.
Try wind attribute chakra first.
The blue wind-attribute chakra was like a gentle stream, slowly flowing into the fragments under his precise control.
The fragments lit up slightly, and the patterns on the surface seemed to flow, but that was all, and there was no further reaction.
“Is it really not possible…”
Lin Feng frowned.
Swift Escape is a combination of wind and thunder.
He tried to mobilize the vague, never-developed potential of lightning in his body.
This is much more difficult than controlling the wind attribute!
The chakra stumbled in the meridians and was extremely unstable. It finally condensed into a tiny arc of electricity, which crackled and brought a numb feeling.
Carefully, he tried to inject this faint trace of lightning chakra into the fragments.
Sizzle!
The fragments shook violently, the electric arc on the surface was extinguished instantly, and silence returned.
“Damn! He just won’t listen!” Lin Feng scratched his hair a little irritated.
Do we really have to look for the other two fragments like searching for a needle in a haystack?
That will have to wait until the year of the monkey and horse!
Or, is there some special activation spell? A ritual?
He slapped his head.
“How could I have forgotten this!”
He also has the almighty system father!
“System! Analyze this [Swift Escape Fragment] for me. How many lottery points are needed?” Lin Feng muttered to himself.
[Ding! Analyzing [Swift Escape Fragment (1/3)] requires 1000 lottery points. Confirm? ]The system prompt sounded cold and mechanical.
“One thousand points?!” Lin Feng’s mouth twitched.
This is a money grab!
This is enough for a silver-level lottery! What if a piece of junk comes out…
But then I thought, Swift Escape! That’s the high-speed bloodline limit that the Fourth Raikage Ai and Darui are famous for!
Speed ​​is power, speed is life!
This investment is worth it!
“Confirm! Analyze!” he gritted his teeth.
【Ding! Analysis completed. 】
[[Swift Release Fragment (1/3)]: An energy crystal containing part of the Swift Release Kekkei Genkai Law. Its structure is incomplete and its effect is weak when used alone. After collecting all three fragments, you can try to activate it through natural fusion. The success rate is low and the user’s qualifications are extremely high.]As expected, I still have to collect all three pieces… Lin Feng was about to sigh, but the next prompt from the system made his eyes widen instantly!
[It is detected that the host has the special ability [Mark of the Wind] (has a very high affinity and control over wind attribute power) and has the potential of [Lightning attribute chakra (undeveloped)], which meets the basic conditions for system-assisted deduction and fusion. ][You can try to perform system-assisted deduction and fusion. The deduction process will consume a large amount of the host’s chakra and require 5,000 lottery points. There is a certain risk of failure in the deduction, which may cause the fragment energy to escape or damage the host’s meridians. Do you want to perform the deduction? ]System-assisted deduction fusion? !
Holy shit! Is there such an operation?!
Lin Feng’s heart was pounding!
Although it costs 5,000 points, which is almost all his current assets, there is also the risk of failure!
but!
This is Swift Escape!
The opportunity to achieve success overnight is right in front of you!
Moreover, the system clearly mentioned that he possessed [Lightning Attribute Chakra (Undeveloped)]!
He suddenly remembered that when he drew the wind attribute change, the system seemed to have mentioned that he still had the potential to develop other attributes, but he was so focused on wind escape that he didn’t care at all.
I see!
The combination of wind and thunder is the swift escape!
The system’s deduction will most likely help him activate the thunder attribute and then force it to merge!
This is a plug-in service tailor-made for you!
Lin Feng immediately checked his lottery points.
The reward for capturing Nohara and obtaining intelligence, plus the previous savings, was just over five thousand!
God’s will! This is absolutely God’s will!
“Deduce! Now! Immediately!” Lin Feng almost shouted, his cheeks turned red with excitement.
Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk!
Damn it! Do it!
[Ding! System-assisted deduction begins! The deduction process is expected to last for a while, and a large amount of chakra will be consumed during this period. Please keep sitting cross-legged, empty your mind, and use your chakra to the fullest extent to cooperate with the system’s guidance! Do not interrupt it forcibly! ]Here we come!
Lin Feng immediately sat cross-legged and held the cold [Swift Escape Fragment] tightly in his palm.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and followed the system’s instructions to begin madly circulating the chakra in his body!
An indescribable huge flow of information, like a flood breaking through a dam, instantly rushed into his mind!
Countless mysterious runes and fragments of knowledge about wind, thunder, speed, and energy fusion were madly impacting his consciousness!
At the same time, a powerful and precise guiding force directly acted on his meridians!
The chakra in his body instantly rioted as if boiling water was thrown into boiling oil!
The blue wind-attribute chakra was forcibly guided, running at an unprecedented high speed and complex trajectory!
At the same time, the thunder attribute potential hidden deep in the meridians and almost never touched was also roughly excavated and activated by this guiding force!
Sizzle! Crack!
Dazzling electric light flashed and exploded uncontrollably within his body!
Severe pain!
Unimaginable pain instantly swept through my body!
The meridians seemed to be torn by strong winds and burned by lightning!
Under the strong pressure of the guiding force, two energies with completely different and even somewhat conflicting properties began to collide and fusion in the most primitive and brutal way!
“Aaaaaa——!”
Lin Feng couldn’t help but let out a suppressed roar, veins popped out on his forehead, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down, instantly soaking his clothes.
He felt like his body was a powder keg about to explode!
Chakra was running rampant in his body, and the tearing pain almost made him faint!
But he gritted his teeth tightly, holding on to the last bit of clarity in his consciousness, trying his best to maintain the cross-legged posture, and trying his best to cooperate with the guidance of the system!
He knew that this was a critical moment!
Once you relax, all your efforts will be wasted!
Chapter 108: Wind and Thunder Intertwined and Swift Escape Begins (Old Version)
The power of the system was like an invisible giant hand, violently intervening in Lin Feng’s chakra circulation. A portion of the chakra obediently transformed into pure blue wind attribute, rushing along the familiar meridians.
The other part was forcibly poured into those obscure and silent corners of the meridians. Under the unquestionable guidance of the system, it twisted and transformed with difficulty, and was infected with the violent and fierce characteristics of thunder and lightning.
An extremely weak, almost imperceptible arc of electricity flashed across his body, causing a slight numbness. It worked! Although the lightning attribute chakra was insignificant, it was indeed born!
“Well!”
However, the joy was only for a moment. The pain of transformation was far beyond expectations. Wind and lightning, two chakras with completely different properties, seemed like natural enemies, and violent repulsion broke out as soon as they met.
Lin Feng felt that his meridians were like fragile glass tubes, being repeatedly scraped by countless tiny blades, and at the same time being pressed hard by a red-hot iron! The severe pain spread from every inch of his meridians to the depths of his bone marrow, almost burning his nerves!
He clenched his teeth tightly, and blood with a rusty smell oozed out of his gums uncontrollably. As soon as the sweat came out, it was evaporated by the high temperature in his body. The whole person seemed to have just been pulled out of the water and thrown into the furnace.
But he relied on the powerful recovery ability granted by the [Immortal Body] and the extraordinary willpower to stay nailed to the spot, maintaining the cross-legged posture without any shaking!
The power of the system did not stop. A purer and more mysterious energy, like a gentle stream, gently wrapped around the cold [Swift Escape Fragment] in his palm.
The system began to frantically analyze the incomplete but still unfathomable laws of swift escape contained in the fragments at an incredible speed, and, like a precise surgical operation, carefully tried to inject, guide, and integrate the analyzed energy information into Lin Feng’s already violent, chaotic, and on the verge of out-of-control chakra cycle.
His consciousness seemed to have left his body, floating in a strange and bizarre world of energy. On one side, there was an endless howling wind, with a sharp edge that could cut through everything; on the other side, there were lightning and thunder, full of destructive violence and heat. In his perception, the two completely different forces went from vague to clear, from unfamiliar to being able to touch their running tracks.
[System prompt]: The nature change of lightning attribute chakra is in development… Progress 5%… 15%… 30%… The progress bar is beating slowly but steadily.
[System prompt]: Analyzing the law of Swift Escape Fragment… progress 10%… 25%… 40%… the analysis speed is obviously faster.
The chakra in the body poured out like a flood! The bottle of [Advanced Chakra Recovery Potion] that had just been received and was not even warm yet, the surging energy contained in it was like a stream flowing into a river, disappearing in an instant, and the speed of consumption far exceeded the replenishment!
Lin Feng could even feel the emptiness and fatigue deep in his cells. He had no choice but to squeeze the potential of the [Sage Body] like crazy, absorbing every bit of life energy and converting it into chakra to support this almost self-destructive forced fusion! It was really painful to spend these five thousand points!
Suddenly! Just when the development of the lightning attribute and the analysis of the fragments were about halfway through, something strange happened!
The wind and lightning chakras in his body, which had been forcibly suppressed and barely maintaining a balance, broke free from their restraints like two completely enraged prehistoric beasts, and the most violent conflict broke out!
An extremely violent and destructive energy that far exceeded the limit of his current control suddenly erupted, like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, madly attacking his already fragile meridian barriers, as if it would completely tear his body into pieces in the next second!
The fusion has reached the most critical moment! It is also the most dangerous step! If it succeeds, it will reach the sky in one step, but if it fails, the meridians will be completely destroyed!
Lin Feng felt a sweetness in his throat and he could no longer suppress the surging blood and energy. He spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the dark red blood splattered on the floor in front of him, which was shocking.
But his bloodshot, almost red eyes, not only did not show any fear or retreat, but instead burned with a crazier and more determined light! He used all his chakra to concentrate his mind to an unprecedented degree!
He subconsciously clenched his left hand and activated the [Mark of Wind] with all his strength, trying desperately to sense, soothe, and guide the violent wind-attribute chakra.
At the same time, his newly born and still very immature [Lightning Perception] was also squeezed to the limit by him. He tried hard to understand, touch, and try to control the destructive power of lightning. In the gap between the destructive collision of wind and lightning, he frantically searched for that ray of hope, that subtle balance point that only existed in theory!
[Ding! The host’s will is extremely firm. The potential of [Sage Body] is further unleashed, and the ability of [Chakra Precision Control] is temporarily greatly improved! Fusion stability is increased! ]The system’s notification sound is a lifesaver!
As if he had received the strongest support, the violent energy that almost destroyed him completely was gradually calmed, restrained, and guided onto the right track like a tamed horse under the influence of his iron will, the potential for the explosion of his [Immortal Body], and the more subtle guidance of the system!
The wind was no longer just a simple cutting, and the thunder was no longer just a destructive violence. The blue airflow and the silver arc were no longer an irreconcilable repulsion, but began to slowly interweave, entangle, penetrate, and merge in an extremely mysterious and complex way that exceeded his current understanding!
The [Swift Escape Fragment] in the palm of his hand suddenly burst out with an unprecedented bright light, and the bluish-white light instantly filled the entire dim safe house, dispelling all the shadows on the wall!
Then, there was a crisp “crack” sound of shattering!
The fragments shattered with a sound, turning into countless tiny star-like light points, no longer cold, but with a trace of gentle energy, like fireflies guided by an invisible force, rushing into Lin Feng’s palm, along his meridians, and completely merging into his chakra origin! Disappeared without a trace!
[Ding! Congratulations to the host! The system-assisted deduction was successful! ][Successfully developed [Lightning attribute chakra property change (primary)]! ][Successfully initially fused [Swift Escape Fragment]! Gained Passive Talent: [Swift Escape Affinity (Weak)]! ]Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes!
In an instant, deep in the left pupil, there seemed to be a tiny green vortex spinning at high speed, with flowing sharpness! And deep in the right pupil, there was a weak but clear silver-white arc crackling, full of agile explosive power!
An unprecedented feeling of lightness spread throughout his body, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders! At the same time, a terrifying sense of speed lurking deep within his limbs, as if it was innate and could burst out at any time, gave him an illusion – as long as he wanted, he could catch up with the wind and catch the lightning!
Although he could clearly feel that this fusion was still very elementary, and [Swift Escape Affinity] was only at a weak level, and he was still a long way from truly mastering the kind of Swift Escape that moved like thunder and was as fast as a ghost, but this was already a world of difference! It was a qualitative change from nothing to something! It was the first step from the mundane to the realm of super speed!
It’s worth it! This gamble is a huge win!
Chapter 109: Wind and Thunder Merge and Escape (Old Version)
Wind and lightning, two completely different chakra attributes, are now like two docile streams, flowing slowly and in parallel in his meridians.
The green wind carries a sharp feeling that can cut through everything, while the silver-white thunder contains leaping explosive power.
What’s even more amazing is that a vague perception of the concept of “speed” is imprinted deep in his consciousness like an instinct.
This is the intuitive feeling brought by [Swift Escape Affinity (Weak)].
Lin Feng was so ecstatic that he almost jumped up!
Worth it! It’s so damn worth it!
He carefully raised his right index finger, moved his mind slightly, and tried to mobilize the newly born lightning chakra.
There was a slight explosion of electricity, and an extremely thin silver-white arc of electricity, like a naughty elf, jumped and flickered on his fingertips, bringing with it a slight feeling of numbness.
Success!
Although this electric arc is so weak that it probably can’t even kill a mosquito, it means that he, Lin Feng, has officially mastered the second type of chakra property change – Lightning Release!
What made him even more excited was the subtle changes brought about by [Swift Escape Affinity].
He felt his body become lighter, and his nerve reaction speed seemed to be a little faster. His mind suddenly had many vague but correct understandings of body coordination and force techniques in high-speed movement.
He stood up, stretched his muscles a little, and then suddenly formed a seal.
Instantaneous body movement!
call out!
The figure disappeared from the spot in an instant, and appeared at the other end of the safe house the next moment.
“Fuck!”
Lin Feng steadied himself and his eyes widened.
It’s coming! Definitely coming!
Compared to before, the speed at which he performed the teleportation technique increased by at least 10%!
Moreover, the consumption of chakra feels smaller, and the whole process is like flowing water, smoother and more natural!
This is the initial benefit brought by Swift Escape!
“Five thousand points! It hurts to spend this much, but the effect… is amazing!” Lin Feng clenched his fists tightly, feeling the power surging in his body. The previous pain and fatigue brought by consumption were swept away, leaving only the great satisfaction brought by the increase in strength.
This gamble is a huge win!
He couldn’t wait to put on the pair of [Chakra Precision Control Gloves] again, took a deep breath, and began to condense chakra again.
Target——[Rasenshuriken]!
With the foundation of lightning-attribute chakra, and the vague understanding of high-speed rotating energy brought by [Swift Escape Affinity], and the assistance of the gloves, Lin Feng felt that his integrated control over the changes in chakra form and properties had reached a new level.
Buzz buzz buzz——!
A chakra light ball that was spinning at high speed, emitting a piercing sound and with faint arcs of electricity on the edges, took shape in his palm faster and more stably than any previous time.
Although it is still unstable and may collapse at any time, its rotation speed and energy concentration have improved visibly to the naked eye!
Lin Feng stared at the “little sun” in his palm with burning eyes. He had a strong premonition.
We are not far from being able to throw this unfinished version of [Rasenshuriken] stably!
He just needs more time to practice and become familiar with the power of wind and thunder!
However, Lin Feng didn’t know.
Just now, when he forcibly merged the fragments of swift escape and the power of wind and thunder first intersected.
Although the system’s power tried its best to conceal it, the unique and new chakra fluctuations, which contained the sharpness of wind and the violence of thunder, and carried a hint of the indescribable “law of speed”, were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, creating a circle of barely detectable ripples.
Konoha Village, deep underground.
A cold, damp, sunless root base.
The air was filled with a strange smell mixed with stale smell and disinfectant.
An old man, his body wrapped in bandages, with only one cloudy but sharp eye exposed, was sitting on the shadow throne.
It was none other than Danzo Shimura.
Sudden.
His one eye suddenly opened, and his cloudy eyeball turned to the ground, as if penetrating layers of soil and rocks, accurately locking onto the approximate location of the safe house where Lin Feng was.
There was no expression on his dry face, but there was a clear hint of suspicion and a flash of greed in his eyes.
“That fluctuation just now…”
Danzo’s voice was as hoarse as sandpaper.
“It’s wind… and thunder… It’s very pure in nature, and… the way it’s mixed is very special, with a bit of… a flavor that doesn’t belong to a kid at this stage…”
He muttered to himself, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the armrest.
“Funny little devil.”
After a moment, he gave orders in an emotionless tone to the Root ninja standing solemnly in the shadows beside him.
“Go check.”
“There are some special people or things happening in the village recently.”
“Pay special attention to the kid named Lin Feng. Report any abnormalities related to him immediately.”
“yes!”
The Root ninja responded like a ghost, blending silently into the deeper darkness.
at the same time.
Class 7’s exclusive training ground.
The sun is shining brightly, shining on the sweaty young boys and girls.
Kakashi Hatake was leaning against a big tree, holding “Intimate Paradise”, and casually instructing Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura in the basic training of climbing trees and treading water.
Suddenly, his dead fish eyes, which seemed to never wake up, slightly raised up, and his gaze passed through the training ground and looked in the direction of a village in the distance – it was the safe house where Lin Feng was in seclusion.
His hand holding the book paused.
In the depths of those lazy and casual eyes, some imperceptible strange color flashed quickly, and then returned to normal.
“Um?”
Kakashi muttered to himself in an inaudible voice, as if he sensed something, but the feeling was fleeting and vague.
He shook his head, not wanting to delve into it any further, and his eyes returned to the page.
Lin Feng, who was in the safe house, knew nothing about this.
He was concentrating on the joy of increasing his strength and studying the [Rasenshuriken].
After consolidating the Lightning Release Chakra and Swift Release affinity he had just acquired, he decided to conduct a practical test immediately.
We must seize every moment!
The Chunin Exam is imminent, and [Rasenshuriken] will be one of his biggest trump cards!
He once again came to the edge of the village, the remote and empty training ground that he usually used.
Wear your gloves and stay focused.
The chakra ball that was rotating at high speed and intertwined with wind and thunder condensed again.
This time, Lin Feng did not hesitate. He suddenly exerted force on his arm muscles, imitating the action of throwing a shuriken, and pushed the extremely unstable energy ball in his palm forward with all his might!
Get rid of it!
However, the moment the chakra ball escaped from the control of the palm, the energy balance that lost precise control was immediately broken!
boom!!!
A deafening bang!
The out-of-control [Rasenshuriken (Unfinished)] crashed into the rock wall in front like a bomb!
The violent energy exploded instantly!
Countless wind blades, as fine as needles but extremely sharp, mixed with chaotic electric arcs, splashed wildly in all directions!
Amid the smoke and dust, a huge pit with a diameter of several meters suddenly appeared on the hard rock wall, and the edge of the pit was covered with marks of cutting and burning!
“hiss–!”
Lin Feng looked at the astonishing destructive power and couldn’t help but gasp.
The power of this thing is simply outrageous!
But at the same time, the control difficulty is also terrifyingly high!
If he hadn’t reacted quickly and used the instant body movement technique to retreat in time, the scattered wind blades alone would have been enough to kill him!
It seems that there is still a long way to go before we can fully master it.
Chapter 110 Wind Style Lightning Style Shuriken (Old Version)
Lin Feng looked at the wall of the training ground in front of him, which looked like it had been plowed by artillery fire, and his scalp felt a little tingling.
The destructive power is simply amazing.
If we were caught by patrolling Anbu, we would be interrogated and it would be very difficult to explain.
He calmed himself down and quickly formed seals with his hands.
The lightning attribute chakra that he had just mastered circulated in his body. Although the amount was small, it was enough to perform some basic things.
“Lightning Release: Pseudo Darkness!”
A faint arc of electricity jumped in his palm, and then turned into a beam of distorted chakra, covering the rock wall that was blown beyond recognition.
After a burst of crackling sounds, the originally hideous holes and cut marks became blurred, as if they had been burned by some high-intensity lightning ninjutsu. Although it was still a mess, it at least looked like a “normal” training accident.
“Done, call it a day.”
Lin Feng clapped his hands, quite satisfied with his quick wit.
In the next few days, he completely entered a state of seclusion, concentrating on practicing the throwing of the [Rasenshuriken].
The training ground in the safe house became a place for him to shed sweat and chakra.
Cohesion again and again, failure again and again.
The high-speed rotating energy ball with wind and thunder was extremely unstable. It would explode in his palm if he was not careful, causing his arm to go numb. If it hadn’t been for the [Immortal Body] to support it, it would have been crippled long ago.
But the delicate feedback provided by the [Chakra Precision Control Gloves] and the subtle speed sensing brought by the [Swift Escape Affinity] are helping him calibrate his balance little by little.
He could feel that every failure brought him closer to success.
The distance of the throw is constantly extending.
From the initial explosion, to the flying of several meters, to more than ten meters…
He discovered that, although the weak [Speed ​​Escape Affinity] could not directly transform into an explosive combat speed, it allowed him to instinctively sense the slightest flow of air when throwing, and subconsciously adjust the angle, strength, and even frequency of rotation of the throw, thus slightly curbing the chakra’s runaway tendency.
[System prompt]: The host repeatedly practices high-difficulty ninjutsu throwing, and his [Chakra Control] ability has been greatly improved!
[System prompt]: [Wind Style: Rasenshuriken (Unfinished)] proficiency increased to 80%…
[System prompt]: [Wind Style: Rasenshuriken (Unfinished)] proficiency increased to 90%…
[System prompt]: [Wind Style: Rasenshuriken (Unfinished)] proficiency increased to 95%…
The system’s cold prompt tone now sounds like heavenly music.
Finally, another practice session.
Lin Feng took a deep breath and his eyes were focused to the extreme.
The wind and lightning chakra in the body was mobilized, compressed, and given high-speed rotation with unprecedented coordination.
The surface of the [Chakra Precision Control Gloves] glowed faintly, forcibly stabilizing the energy of the two attributes at that dangerous balance point.
What he held in his palm was no longer the little gadget that could get out of control at any time, but a blue death star that emitted a shrill scream and exuded a breath of destruction!
The time is now!
The muscles in his arms suddenly tensed up, revealing veins. He gathered all his strength and imitated the action of throwing a shuriken, pushing the violent energy ball in his palm forward with all his might!
This time, nothing got out of control!
The spiral shuriken turned into a dazzling green stream of light, making an extremely sharp sound of breaking through the air, like a missile being pulled by an invisible track, drawing a stable straight line in the air that was almost impossible to capture with the naked eye, and the speed was terrifyingly fast!
The target is the specially made alloy target at the end of the training ground that can withstand the full force attack of a jonin!
Boom!!!
A deafening roar suddenly erupted, the sound so loud that it almost shattered the eardrums!
The spiral shuriken hit the alloy target with absolute precision!
No stagnation at all!
The target, together with the several-meter-thick reinforced rock wall behind it, was torn apart, shattered, and annihilated in an instant by the violent wind blade, like it was made of paper!
The terrifying energy shock wave spread outward, raising a cloud of dust!
What followed was a more intensive and more hair-raising cutting sound!
Countless extremely fine yet sharp wind blades, like a swarm of poisonous bees with life, shot out and spread wildly in all directions with the explosion point as the center, cutting the ground and walls at the end of the entire training ground into pieces, like a huge, hideous beehive!
[Wind Style: Rasenshuriken (Unfinished)] Throw successfully!
Lin Feng stood where he was, looking at the horrific destruction that was comparable to that caused by a small Tailed Beast Ball, feeling waves of intense numbness and tingling in his right arm – this was the result of being greatly weakened by the [Sage Body]. If it were an ordinary person, this arm would probably have been crippled.
But at this moment, there was only ecstasy in his heart!
He clenched his fists excitedly!
What power!
It has definitely reached the threshold of S-level forbidden techniques!
Although because it is an unfinished version, backlash still exists, and the chakra consumption is astonishingly large, it must not be used lightly as a regular move.
But this thing, without a doubt, has become the most powerful card in his hand! A terrifying killer that can threaten a shadow-level strongman!
Just when Lin Feng was immersed in the great joy of success, and even began to wonder if he could add the properties of the Lightning Release he had just mastered to create a more powerful “Magnetic Release·Raylanshuriken”…
Boom boom boom.
There was a knock on the heavy metal door of the safe house.
Lin Feng frowned slightly and dissipated the chakra fluctuations around his body that had not yet completely subsided.
Who will it be at this time?
He walked over and opened the door.
Outside the door, Hatake Kakashi was leaning lazily against the door frame, his signature dead fish eyes glancing at the shocking traces of destruction in the training ground. Something seemed to flash in the depths of his eyes, but he quickly returned to his lazy look that hadn’t changed for thousands of years.
“Hey, Lin Feng.”
Kakashi’s voice was still as uninspired as ever.
“It made quite a commotion.”
“Tomorrow is the start time of the first written test of the Chunin Exam. The Third-Kami has asked all Genin teams to report to the assembly point in advance to make final preparations and mobilization.”
Lin Feng restrained his outward aura, forced himself to suppress the excitement in his heart, looked at Kakashi’s eyes that seemed to know nothing, and grinned with a confident smile.
“Got it, Kakashi-sensei.”
“It’s finally about to begin. I can’t wait!”
He tidied up his clothes which were a little messy due to the full-strength throw just now, took a deep breath, opened the door, and walked out.
Chunin Exam!
The huge stage that brings together the geniuses from the five major countries and even more ninja villages in small countries is finally about to begin!
A new storm is coming!
Chapter 111: Storms gather in the examination room (old version)
The Konoha Arena was filled with people, almost toppling the entire huge dome. Genin from the five major nations and some small ninja villages gathered here, and the air was mixed with sweat, dust, and the faint smell of gunpowder left after the collision of various chakras. The invisible tension almost condensed into substance.
Naruto’s eyes sparkled, and he was as excited as a monkey that had just been released from a cage, shouting at the top of his voice: “Wow! There are too many people here! Is this the venue for the Chunin Exam? Great! I must make a big noise here and let everyone remember my name Uzumaki Naruto. I mean what I say!”
Sakura tried hard to look calm, but her slightly pale, tightly clenched knuckles and her eyes that kept glancing at the strong men around her still betrayed her inner uneasiness.
Sasuke put his hands in his pockets, still with that cold look, but his dark eyes were sharper than usual, like a falcon before hunting, quickly scanning every ninja present, especially those with particularly strong auras, as if to imprint their characteristics in his mind. “Huh, a bunch of noisy guys.” He commented in a low voice, with the unique reserve of Uchiha.
Lin Feng quietly activated [Wind God Whisper] and [Wind Ears], and his invisible mental power spread out like a fine spider web, capturing every sound fragment and every abnormal breath flow around him. “Wow, this is really… a gathering of heroes, or a gathering of demons and monsters?” He silently complained in his heart, but his face remained calm.
In his perception, Gaara, who carried a huge gourd on his back, was cold and manic, like a dormant sandstorm, with a strong smell of blood and heart-pounding madness. Wherever he passed, the crowd subconsciously made way for him. Kankuro and Temari beside him were relatively restrained, but they also showed a toughness that was not easy to mess with.
Omoi, the seemingly lazy boy holding a lollipop in his mouth from the Hidden Cloud Village, actually has an extremely active chakra, as if it contains thunder; the red-haired female ninja Karui next to him is like a powder keg that can explode at any time, and her chakra is full of explosive power.
There were even a few guys wearing forehead protectors from the Hidden Mist Village. Their auras were cold and damp, and faintly exuded a murderous aura, which reminded Lin Feng of Zabuza and Haku. “Tsk, they really are not good people.”
Naruto was also shocked by Gaara’s barely concealed murderous intent. He swallowed subconsciously and felt a chill on his back. “That guy… looks so scary!” But he clenched his fists tightly, and his signature smile climbed onto his cheeks again, his fighting spirit high. “But! I, Uzumaki Naruto, will never lose to such a gloomy guy!”
At this moment, a voice full of provocation sounded nearby: “Hey, isn’t this our famous Konoha’s last-place team? How dare you come to join in this level of exam? Aren’t you afraid of being eliminated in the first round and embarrassed?”
Inuzuka Kiba, along with his ninja dog Akamaru, the dull-looking Aburame Shino, and the somewhat timid Hyuga Hinata, swaggered over. Akamaru squatted on top of Kiba’s head and barked twice, as if echoing his master’s ridicule.
Naruto’s already excited nerves were instantly ignited, veins popped out on his forehead, and he immediately rolled up his sleeves to argue: “What did you say?! Inuzuka Kiba, you bastard, do you want to fight?!”
Sasuke also glanced sideways slightly, his eyes turned cold, and the aura around him became somewhat dangerous.
Lin Feng reached out and held down the impulsive Naruto, with a playful smile on his face, and looked at Inuzuka Kiba: “Inuzuka Kiba, right? I remember not long ago, during the actual combat training at the Ninja School, it seemed that someone was blown to the ground by my wind escape technique and rolled several times? Was it you? Or did I remember it wrongly?”
The smug smile on Inuzuka Kiba’s face froze instantly. He remembered the embarrassing scene when he was directly knocked away by Lin Feng’s [Wind Style: Vacuum Wave]. It was a great humiliation. His face turned red and white, and he stiffened his neck to argue: “That, that time was an accident! You wait, in this Chunin Exam, I will definitely let you see how powerful Akamaru and I are!” Although he said so, he was obviously not confident enough.
“Oh? Really?” Lin Feng raised his eyebrows, smiling, “Then I’ll wait and see.” After that, he ignored this clown, patted Naruto on the shoulder, signaled him to calm down, and led Team 7 to the gathering area of ​​Konoha Ninja. “There’s no point in wasting time with this kind of stuff, save some energy for the exam.”
Inuzuka Kiba was choked and speechless. He stood there, his fists clenched, but he didn’t dare to really rush forward. The ninjas from other villages around saw this scene, and many of them had expressions of watching a show.
“Hehe, Konoha’s Genin are quite energetic. They’re fighting among themselves before the exam.” A Sand Village ninja chuckled.
“That kid named Lin Feng is quite interesting. He is very calm in the face of provocation. It seems that he is not a simple character.” Another ninja from the Hidden Grass Village touched his chin, thoughtfully.
Team 7 quickly found the area of ​​their own ninja village. As expected, Hatake Kakashi had already arrived. He was leaning against the wall, concentrating on his “Intimate Paradise” without even lifting his eyelids.
“Hey, you’re here.” Kakashi’s voice was as lazy as ever, and his fingers ran across the pages of the book. “The Chunin Exam is not a child’s game. The rules are very complicated, and you only have one life. Be smart and don’t die inexplicably.” He casually reminded them a few words and returned his eyes to the book.
Lin Feng could clearly feel that the curious, scrutinizing, or malicious gazes coming from all directions were mostly focused on their Team 7, especially Sasuke with the Sharingan, Naruto with the Nine-Tails sealed in his body, and himself who had just easily suppressed Inuzuka Kiba.
“It seems that I can’t keep a low profile anymore.” Lin Feng’s mouth curled up. Instead of being nervous, he felt excited. His eyes swept over the various opponents in the field, and the blood in his body seemed to start to heat up slightly.
The Chunin Exam, this grand stage that brings together the new generation of geniuses from all the major ninja villages, is finally about to officially begin.
He is ready.
Chapter 112: Secret Battle in the Examination Room, Everyone Has Their Own Agenda (Old Version)
A murderous atmosphere suddenly descended.
The originally noisy corner of the arena suddenly became silent with the appearance of more than a dozen figures, and you could hear a pin drop.
The man in the lead had a face covered with hideous scars crisscrossing each other, and wore a Konoha forehead protector. His eyes were as sharp as a hawk, and he glanced at all the Genin present without any warmth.
He is Morino Ibiki, the captain of Konoha’s torture and interrogation unit, and the chief examiner of the first round of the Chunin Exam.
The Chunins behind him all had stern expressions, like cold sculptures, and their invisible aura made all the candidates present breathe more heavily.
“Silence!” Ibiki’s voice was not loud, but it was full of unquestionable majesty, and it was clearly heard by everyone, “From now on, the Chunin selection exam will begin, the first round!”
“This is a written test.”
He pointed to the test papers distributed to each candidate’s desk.
“The exam rules are very simple.” Ibiki’s lips curled up in a cruel arc, “The total score is 10, and each person has 10 points. The test paper has 10 questions, each question is 1 point. If you answer a question incorrectly, you will lose 1 point.”
“If we find you cheating during the exam, two points will be deducted for each time.”
“If anyone loses all their points due to cheating, or if they lose all their points due to answering questions incorrectly, they will immediately lose their qualification to take the exam, and their teammates will be eliminated as well!”
“Finally, fifteen minutes before the end of the exam, the tenth question will be announced. Everyone must answer the tenth question, otherwise they will also be disqualified!”
After the rules were announced, the atmosphere in the entire examination room froze to freezing point.
This rule is too harsh!
Not only are the questions themselves scored, the punishment for cheating is heavier, and there is also collective punishment!
This is not just a simple knowledge test, but an extreme test of intelligence gathering ability, teamwork ability, and the psychological quality of staying calm under high pressure!
“Are you kidding me?” Naruto’s eyes almost popped out as he looked at the scrawled questions on the test paper. He recognized the words, but he had no idea what they meant when put together!
Cold sweat instantly soaked his forehead. He scratched his ears and cheeks, and almost jumped up in anxiety.
“These…these questions…” Sakura quickly glanced through them and her face turned a little ugly.
With the solid theoretical foundation she had laid in the Ninja School, she could barely understand and answer the first few questions, but the questions became more tricky and bizarre as time went on, even involving areas she had never touched before, such as code interpretation and password deciphering.
She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and began to observe her surroundings calmly.
Sasuke frowned, and his dark Sharingan turned slightly, quickly scanning the entire scene.
He instantly understood the real purpose of this exam – cheating was the key!
The examiners’ seemingly strict surveillance is actually to screen out those candidates who are capable, courageous, and able to obtain intelligence without being discovered.
His eyes began to wander over the “candidates” in the examination room who seemed ordinary but whose movements revealed a hint of proficiency, trying to find a “source of answers” that could be used.
Only Lin Feng remained calm and composed.
Long before Ibiki opened his mouth to announce the rules, the subtle flow of information captured by [Whisper of the Wind God], combined with his understanding of the plot, had already allowed him to understand the nature of this exam.
“Ha, are we playing an intelligence war?” He chuckled in his heart.
He glanced casually at the test paper.
The questions were indeed tricky and covered a wide range of topics, far beyond the knowledge reserves of ordinary Genin.
But for him, that’s it.
Although the [Knowledge Amplification Item] he won in the previous lottery had a one-time effect, after being washed by the huge flow of information, his memory palace was expanded countless times, and his comprehension ability and information processing speed were no longer what they used to be.
Not to mention, he also has the invincible system dad!
“System, scan and analyze the test paper and give me the standard answer. How many points?” Lin Feng muttered in his heart.
[Ding! Scan and analyze the Chunin Exam written test paper (first round) and provide a perfect answer. 200 lottery points will be consumed. Confirm? ]“Only 200 points? It’s totally free!” Lin Feng was relieved and said without hesitation: “Confirmed!”
A stream of information instantly flooded into his mind. The standard answers to the ten questions, along with detailed problem-solving steps and ideas, appeared in his mind with incredible clarity.
Lin Feng raised the corner of his mouth slightly and picked up the pen.
Swish, swish, swish——!
He began to write furiously, the tip of his pen moving across the paper, making a continuous and smooth sound.
The speed was so fast that it didn’t seem like he was answering questions, but rather like he was copying a text that he had already memorized.
Moreover, he filled every question with complete answers, neat handwriting, clear logic, and was incredibly perfect.
This unusual behavior immediately attracted the attention of many candidates nearby. Even the Chunins in charge of supervising the exam couldn’t help but glance sideways with surprise and doubt in their eyes.
This kid… does he really know how to do it, or is he just acting?
Gaara, who was sitting not far away and exuding an aura of “keep away from strangers”, glanced in Lin Feng’s direction with his emotionless green eyes.
An eyeball made of sand floated out silently from the gourd behind him, suspended in the air, and quietly turned towards Lin Feng’s desk, trying to spy on his answer.
Just when the trachoma is about to focus.
Lin Feng didn’t even raise his head, with a faint smile on his lips.
A barely detectable chakra fluctuation circulated above his desk, forming a [wind barrier] that was invisible to the naked eye.
Buzz.
Gaara’s sand eyes paused slightly in the air, and the pupils made of sand seemed to freeze for a moment, with a hint of unbelievable surprise.
The next second, Sand Eye retreated silently and merged back into the shadow of the gourd.
Gaara slowly closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, as if he had fallen asleep, no longer interested in the exam.
But Lin Feng knew that this seemingly calm Sand Village Jinchuriki was far more dangerous than he appeared.
The brief confrontation just now was just a trivial test.
The real battle has yet to begin.
Lin Feng regained his composure, ignored the surprised or suspicious looks around him, and continued to write the perfect answer on his test paper.
For him, the first exam was just a formality.
Chapter 113: Wind Seal Whispering Secretly Helps Teammates Show Their Magical Powers (Old Version)
Lin Feng wrote the last stroke of his pen, and the answer on the test paper was neat and clear, a perfect example.
But he was in no hurry to hand in the paper.
There is still quite some time before the end of the exam, so it is a perfect time to observe the surroundings and collect information. By the way… see if I can “help” my two teammates who are still struggling.
Deliver the answer directly? The risk is too great. Ibiki’s scarred face is not for show. If they are caught, Team 7 will have to pack up and leave. They must use a more covert method that is more in line with the identity of a ninja.
Lin Feng held the pen between his fingers and turned it gently as if bored, his fingertips drawing an imperceptible track in the air.
[Mark of the Wind]!
A few strands of almost transparent wind chakra, like filaments endowed with life, floated away silently and attached themselves precisely to several “old hands” in the examination room whose auras were obviously different from those of ordinary candidates – those Chunins arranged by Konoha to mix in with the candidates and be responsible for providing “reference answers”.
The mark was successfully attached, and the subtle chakra flow, tiny body movements, and writing rhythm of these Chunins were instantly magnified and highlighted in Lin Feng’s perception.
At the same time, [Wind God Whisper] was fully operational. The invisible spiritual power spread out like mercury, and every tiny sound of pen tip friction, the deliberately suppressed breathing, the accelerated heartbeat of some people due to nervousness, and even the faint vibration of the wings of the candidate sitting next to him when he secretly used insects to transmit information, all entered his mind clearly. Like a powerful information processor, it quickly filtered, screened, and analyzed the massive amount of intelligence flow.
His eyes passed over Sakura imperceptibly.
The pink-haired girl frowned, her fingertips tightly gripping the pen, her knuckles turning white, and she was obviously stuck on a difficult problem involving code deciphering. Her pretty face was full of anxiety, and her eyes moved in vain between the test paper and the ceiling.
Lin Feng leaned back slightly and stretched lazily, his movements relaxed and natural, as if he was just relaxing after sitting for a long time. However, his right hand fingers tapped the table several times intentionally or unintentionally.
Tick. Tick. Tick.
An extremely simple, light rhythm. This was the basic code that Class 7 had privately agreed upon during their daily training. Only the three of them could understand it – it stood for “reverse thinking” or “reverse interpretation.”
Xiaoying was racking her brains, almost scratching her scalp, when the slight but familiar knocking sound reached her ears, causing her body to tremble slightly. She subconsciously raised her head to look in the direction of Lin Feng, but saw that he had returned to his previous posture, looking out the window boredly, as if the little action just now was just an unintentional act.
But that hint was like a bolt of lightning that cut through the fog in her mind!
Reverse thinking! Reverse interpretation!
Xiaoying’s eyes lit up instantly, and her blocked train of thought suddenly became clear! She couldn’t help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, and quickly glanced at Lin Feng, her eyes full of gratitude, then lowered her head, and the pen tip quickly wrote on the test paper, her face regained confidence and calmness.
Take care of one. Lin Feng thought to himself and looked to the other side.
Naruto…sigh.
The blond boy was holding his head in pain, grimacing, his face wrinkled like a bun, with a desperate expression of having no hope in life. In his eyes, that test paper was probably more difficult than deciphering Jiraiya’s intimate paradise.
Lin Feng shook his head helplessly. This guy… any kind of hints might backfire on him, and he might even go crazy because he couldn’t understand the hints. Forget it, it’s too much to expect him to cheat in the written test. He can only rely on himself. Or, in other words, rely on Ibiki’s final tenth question, which determines his fate.
As for Sasuke.
The black-haired boy still maintained his iconic upright sitting posture, his expression stern, like an iceberg. In his dark eyes, three magatama were slowly rotating, emitting a bewitching light.
Sharingan!
He had obviously captured the answers of a “cooperating” Chunin, and was working his brain at high speed to copy the answers. But he did not copy them completely, his eyes were full of scrutiny and thinking, and he was obviously combining his own knowledge to screen and modify the copied answers, striving to be foolproof.
As expected of an Uchiha, he is cautious enough. Lin Feng nodded secretly.
Lin Feng’s series of small movements that seemed natural but actually contained explosive amounts of information, as well as his overly relaxed attitude, finally attracted the attention of the examiner, Morino Ibiki.
Morino Ibiki’s weathered, sharp eyes, with the pressure of interrogating a prisoner, locked onto Lin Feng. He seemed to see through Lin Feng, trying to find clues of his cheating from every subtle expression and every unintentional movement, and get the ironclad evidence of his violation.
However, Lin Feng’s movements were smooth and natural, his expression was relaxed, his eyes were clear, his behavior was frank, and his whole body exuded an aura of “I am so awesome, what can you do to me”, so Ibiki could not find any flaws at all.
Ibiki’s brows furrowed even deeper, and the scar on his face seemed to become even more hideous. This kid…either he is really knowledgeable and can easily handle such a difficult test; or, he is a master cheater who hides his true abilities very well and has a psychological quality far beyond that of an ordinary person! In either case, he is definitely not an ordinary person.
Lin Feng clearly felt the oppressive gaze from the examiner’s seat. Instead of being nervous, he raised his head and met Ibiki’s gaze, with a confident and even playful smile on his face.
It seemed to be saying silently: What are you looking at? Haven’t you seen a handsome guy before? Catch me if you can!
“Hmm?” Ibiki’s eyes suddenly fixed, and he was aroused by the provocative smile of this kid. How brave!
At this moment, a clear and pleasant system prompt sound rang in Lin Feng’s mind.
[System Prompt]: The host remained absolutely calm under high pressure, and successfully used a variety of auxiliary abilities to collect intelligence and transmit information, and [Spiritual Power] was slightly improved!
[System prompt]: [Mark of the Wind] proficiency improved!
[System prompt]: [Whisper of the Wind God] proficiency has been improved!
Sure enough! Lin Feng was secretly happy, but his face remained calm. This high-pressure environment is simply a great place to brush up on proficiency and mental strength! A guaranteed profit!
Time passes by every second.
The atmosphere in the examination room became increasingly tense, and it was so oppressive that it made people feel suffocated. Candidates were constantly caught cheating or collapsed under the tremendous psychological pressure. The invigilator coldly called out their numbers and dragged them out of the examination room with pale faces.
“Number 44, you are disqualified for cheating!”
“No. 28, disrupting the order of the examination room, disqualified from the examination!”
Every elimination makes the remaining candidates feel more depressed, and also highlights the cruelty of this exam. This seemingly calm written exam is actually a cruel psychological battle, a comprehensive test of the candidates’ intelligence, intelligence gathering ability, teamwork ability, and psychological quality.
Chapter 114: Wind Slashing Water Mirror to Frighten the Enemy (Old Version)
Time was getting closer to the finish line. The air in the examination room was almost frozen, making people feel stuffy in their chests, as if even breathing was carrying heavy lead blocks.
At this moment, a Genin from the Hidden Rain Village, who was sitting behind Lin Feng, had a flickering look in his eyes and made a few simple seals with his fingers under the table. This guy seemed to be unable to hold back his impatience. He possessed a special secret technique that could silently condense the water vapor in the air and create a water mirror that was so tiny that it was almost invisible, which could be used for long-distance spying. This was quite useful in intelligence gathering, and at this moment he wanted to use it to sneak a peek at Lin Feng’s test paper filled with answers.
Thinking that he could do it without anyone noticing, he began to carefully gather his chakra. A trace of moist air gathered at his fingertips, and a vague outline of a water mirror loomed. The angle of the mirror was precisely facing the test paper on Lin Feng’s desk.
Heh. Lin Feng’s mouth twitched imperceptibly, forming a cold arc. His [Wind God Whisper] had already captured the subtle chakra fluctuations that were as small as the wings of a mosquito, as well as the extremely subtle “hissing” sound made when water vapor condensed, which ordinary people could never hear. Want to peek? There is no door, and the windows are welded shut!
Just when the water mirror of the Rain Hidden Ninja was about to be completely formed, and the mirror surface was about to clearly reflect the neat handwriting on Lin Feng’s test paper – Lin Feng’s fingers holding the pen flicked lightly towards the tabletop seemingly casually.
A [Wind Style: Air Flow Slash] that was thinner than a hair and condensed to the extreme, impossible to capture with the naked eye, with its silent sharpness, it broke through the air silently and with incomparable accuracy.
puff.
There was an extremely slight muffled sound, like a bubble being popped by a needle. The water mirror that was about to take shape at the fingertips of the Rain Hidden Ninja was instantly and precisely shattered by the invisible airflow, like a fragile soap bubble, which turned into tiny drops of moisture and dissipated in the air with a puff, without even a ripple left.
A weak backlash of chakra flowed back along the connection, making the Yuyin Genin’s throat feel sweet. He almost coughed, but he could only suppress it and let out an extremely suppressed groan. His face instantly turned as pale as paper.
He suddenly raised his head in shock and looked at Lin Feng who was sitting calmly in his original position, his eyes filled with disbelief and deep fear. How is it possible? ! How did he find out his secret technique was so hidden? And how could he break it so easily and silently? ! This should not be something a Genin can do!
Lin Feng happened to sense his gaze at this moment and slowly turned his head. He had a bright, harmless smile on his face, and his teeth were dazzlingly white. He moved his lips silently to the frightened Yuyin Genin, conveying a clear message with his mouth shape.
“What are you looking at?”
“Look again and I’ll dig your eyes out!”
Although he didn’t make any sound, the cold, bloody eyes, coupled with the threatening mouth shape, instantly made the Yuyin Genin feel like he was falling into an icy cave! He was so scared that his whole body shuddered, like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He suddenly lowered his head and stared at his desk. His heart was beating wildly in his chest, almost jumping out, and cold sweat instantly soaked the clothes on his back. He no longer dared to make any unnecessary movements, and even the courage to raise his eyelids disappeared. Looking in the direction of Lin Feng, there was only uncontrollable deep fear and dread.
This lightning-fast confrontation was extremely covert, and almost no one noticed it. However, Morino Ibiki, who was sitting in the examiner’s seat, had a pair of eyes as sharp as a hawk, and accurately captured the fleeting sneer at the corner of Lin Feng’s mouth, as well as the sudden change in the face of the Yuyin Genin and his frightened posture. Ibiki’s eyes flickered slightly, and the scar on his face seemed to twitch. He had a deeper curiosity and scrutiny of Lin Feng’s perception ability and the way he handled this provocation. This kid is quite interesting.
However, troubles always seem to appear in groups, testing the nerves of everyone in the examination room.
On the other side of the examination room, an impatient Konoha Genin, probably feeling that time was running out and unable to solve the questions, finally took desperate measures. He secretly crumpled up a piece of paper with something written on it and tried to throw it to his anxiously waiting companion not far away when the invigilator’s eyes were turned away. His actions were clumsy and his intentions were obvious, which was simply an insult to the professionalism of all the invigilators present.
“Number 73! Cheating! Disqualified from the exam!”
A cold voice sounded behind him like a ghost. A Chunin in charge of invigilating the exam had quietly stood behind him without anyone noticing. He pronounced his fate without any emotion in his tone, “Together with your teammates No. 21 and No. 55, you will be eliminated together!”
The captured Genin’s face was ashen, and despair instantly overwhelmed him. But then, a strong sense of unwillingness grew like wild weeds. Why? ! It’s okay for him to be captured, but why can that guy be safe and sound? !
He turned around abruptly, pointed his trembling finger at Lin Feng, who was still calm and composed, as if it had nothing to do with him, and screamed with all his strength:
“It’s not fair!!”
“Him! He must have cheated too!!”
“Look how fast he answered the questions! He never stopped from the beginning! That’s impossible!! He must have used some method we don’t know about!”
“Examiner! Why didn’t you check him?! Did you see that?! This is not fair!!!”
This hysterical roar exploded like thunder in the silent examination room.
In an instant, all the examinees’ eyes, whether filled with suspicion, jealousy, gloating, or pure spectator mentality, were all focused on Lin Feng. Inuzuka Kiba did not even try to hide his gloating expression, his mouth grinning from ear to ear, and he nudged Akamaru next to him with his elbow, whispering, “See, I told you there’s something wrong with this kid!”
Countless scrutinizing and questioning gazes were like real needles, piercing Lin Feng in unison.
However, Lin Feng, who was in the center of the storm, remained as steady as an old dog. He even stood up slowly, his movements were calm and unhurried, and he spread his hands. There was no panic or anger on his face because he was wrongly accused. Instead, he had a frank smile and looked calmly at Morino Ibiki who was sitting in the examiner’s seat. His voice was clear and loud, making sure that everyone present could hear it:
“Lord Ibiki.”
“It’s normal for this colleague to have doubts about me. After all, I do answer questions a little faster.” He shrugged innocently.
“I fully accept any form of inspection, whether it’s a body search or checking the test papers, to prove my innocence.”
“But…” He changed the subject, his eyes suddenly became sharp, like a blade drawn from its sheath, sweeping across the accuser who was still roaring unwillingly and looked like a madman.
“If the results of the examination prove that I am innocent, then how should we deal with the slander and defamation that was openly carried out against me in the examination room? We can’t just let him shout a few times and let it go, right?”
These words were powerful, full of strong confidence and an unquestionable aura, which not only made the accuser’s momentum stagnate, but also made Morino Ibiki’s calm eyes flash with a little bit of subtle appreciation. He has strength, courage, and knows how to defend his position.
Ibiki glanced coldly at the eliminated Genin who was still trying to struggle, and his voice was emotionless, like ice chips falling: “Shut up!”
“Take him away!”
Two Chunins immediately stepped forward and, ignoring his struggle, forcibly dragged him out of the examination room.
Then, Ibiki’s oppressive gaze turned to Lin Feng again, and his voice was low and full of majesty like an interrogation:
“As for you, Lin Feng…”
“I will personally judge whether you are innocent or not.”
Chapter 115: Desperate Decisions and Questions about One’s Heart (Old Version)
Morino Ibiki’s stern gaze swept across Lin Feng, then across the Genin who was dragged away and still roaring unwillingly, and finally fell on the clock on the wall.
He did not respond to Lin Feng’s questioning immediately, nor did he pay much attention to the hysterical accusation, as if it was just a trivial episode.
The examiner took a deep breath, and his originally suppressed voice suddenly rose, echoing like a loud bell in the silent examination room.
“Time’s up!”
“Now, announce the tenth question!”
Swish!
All the candidates who were still in the examination room, no matter whether they were confident, overwhelmed or trying to take advantage of the situation, suddenly perked up and straightened their backs subconsciously.
The real test has finally come!
Ibiki’s scarred face had no expression at this moment, only cold majesty.
“The rules for question 10 are simple, but also cruel.”
He paused, and his sharp eyes scraped across every nervous face like a knife.
“You can choose to answer, or not to answer.”
“If you choose not to answer, great, you will be disqualified from the exam and leave immediately. But your teammates can continue to take the next exam.”
“But…” Ibiki’s voice suddenly turned cold, with an unquestionable determination, “If you choose to answer, if you answer incorrectly… then you, and all the members of your team, will forever lose the qualification to participate in the Chunin Selection Exam!!”
boom–!!!
This rule is like a thunderbolt from the sky, striking hard on the top of every candidate’s head!
The whole audience exploded in an uproar!
“W-what?!”
“Disqualified forever? Are you kidding me?”
“This… How is this possible! This is basically risking your ninja career!”
“If you answer incorrectly, your teammates will be eliminated as well. For life?!”
fear!
despair!
incredible!
All kinds of negative emotions instantly flooded the entire examination room like a tide.
This is no longer an exam, it is a naked soul-searching test! It is forcing them to make the most difficult and cruel choice between their personal future and the fate of the team!
The enormous psychological pressure is like an invisible mountain, pressing heavily on everyone’s heart.
Many candidates’ faces turned pale in an instant, cold sweat dripped down their foreheads, and their eyes flickered violently, filled with uncontrollable fear and intense hesitation.
Some people held their heads in their hands and their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably.
Someone bit his lips so hard that they almost drew blood.
“I…I give up!”
Finally, someone couldn’t stand the hellish pressure anymore and raised his hand tremblingly, his voice filled with tears.
“I choose not to answer!”
Ibiki nodded expressionlessly.
Immediately, a Chunin stepped forward and “invited” the candidate and his two teammates to leave.
The candidate’s teammates’ faces were filled with resentment and resentment, but they could do nothing about it.
One person’s giving up destroyed the hope of the entire team.
With the first one, there will be the second, the third…
People kept raising their hands to give up, and the number of people in the examination room decreased at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Every time someone leaves, the pressure on those who stay increases.
Sakura was so nervous that she clenched her hands into fists, her knuckles turning white from the strain.
She looked at Sasuke and Lin Feng beside her for help, her beautiful eyes full of struggle and questioning.
Sasuke’s expression was more solemn than ever, his brows were furrowed, but there was no sign of retreat or wavering in his dark eyes.
He, Uchiha Sasuke, will never stop here!
On the other side, Naruto, who was scratching his head in front of the test paper before and couldn’t answer a single question, seemed like a different person at this moment.
He slammed the table and stood up suddenly!
The movement was so big and the sound was so loud that it instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
“Stop talking so much! Your chatter is so annoying!”
Naruto pointed at Ibiki, his face showing undisguised stubbornness and an indomitable spirit, and shouted with all his strength:
“Don’t underestimate me, asshole!”
“I am Uzumaki Naruto! I will never, ever escape in a place like this!”
“So what if I can only be a Genin for the rest of my life?! I still want to be the man who becomes the Hokage!”
“The tenth question, right? I choose – answer!!!”
This passionate and even silly declaration, like boiling magma, instantly dispelled the fear and hesitation in the examination room!
That spirit of never giving up and facing challenges head-on has an indescribable appeal at this moment!
Some candidates who were still wavering and almost raising their hands to give up were shocked by Naruto’s roar, and their eyes became determined again!
That’s right! They are ninjas! How can they be frightened by such pressure!
Sakura looked at Naruto’s back, which was not very tall but extremely reliable at the moment. The tension and hesitation in her eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by relief and determination.
Lin Feng looked at Naruto, who was chattering like a chicken with its blood pumped up. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and admiration flashed in his eyes.
This guy… although his brain is often not online, but this courage to never turn back even if he hits a wall, and his extremely pure belief to never give up, are indeed the cornerstones of becoming a strong man.
So exciting!
strong enough!
The next second, Lin Feng also raised his hand lazily, his movements were casual, but with an unquestionable confidence.
He met Ibiki’s scrutinizing gaze, smiled and spoke. His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard in every corner of the examination room:
“With this level of psychological intimidation, are you trying to scare off our Konoha Team 7?”
“That’s too much, you’re looking down on me.”
“We choose, answer!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Sasuke and Sakura raised their hands almost at the same time, with firm eyes and resolute actions!
Class 7, everyone stay!
As more and more people chose to stay under the influence of Naruto and Lin Feng, or out of their own pride and determination, the space in the examination room that was originally empty was now filled with sharp-eyed and determined guys.
Ibiki looked at these candidates who had withstood the tremendous pressure and chose to face the challenge. His face, which was full of scars and as cold as an iceberg, finally slowly revealed a smile that was completely different from before.
That smile contained cruelty, scrutiny, and even more, a kind of… recognition.
“very good.”
Ibiki’s voice sounded again, this time, it was no longer cold and intimidating, but carried the solemnity of announcing a result.
“Well, everyone who made the decision…”
“Congratulations!”
“For those of you who chose to stay, you have passed the tenth question!”
“The first round of the Chunin selection exam, the written test—”
“Everyone, passed!!!”
As soon as the words fell, the entire examination room fell silent for a moment, and then burst into cheers and sighs of relief as if they had survived a disaster.
At the same time, a clear prompt sound from the system rang in Lin Feng’s mind.
[System prompt]: The host successfully passed the first round of the Chunin Exam (written test), demonstrated excellent intelligence analysis ability, extraordinary psychological quality and influence in stabilizing military morale at critical moments under extremely stressful conditions, and obtained 500 lottery points!
[System prompt]: The host’s [mental power] has been slightly improved!
Chapter 116 Death Forest Survival Challenge (Old Version)
Ibiki looked around at the candidates below who were still in shock but grateful for having survived the disaster. The lines on his scarred face seemed to soften a little, but his voice still carried unquestionable authority.
“The essence of the first exam was never to ask you to answer those nine damn questions correctly.”
His sharp eyes scanned every genin who pricked up their ears.
“The value of intelligence often requires obtaining it by any means necessary.
Under heavy pressure, how to filter information, how to collaborate with companions, how to make choices that do not endanger the team in desperate situations… these are the qualities that a Chunin should possess! “
“Those who obtained intelligence through various means, such as peeking, sensing, or relying on their ‘companions’, and who withstood the final pressure and chose not to give up and leave their fate to the unknown…” Ibiki paused, and a hideous arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. “You are the ones who truly understand the significance of this exam.”
The candidates suddenly understood and their tense nerves completely relaxed. Many of them slumped down in their chairs, breathing heavily.
Thinking back to the hellish decision just now and comparing it with Ibiki’s explanation at this moment, a feeling of relief for surviving the disaster and a deep awe for the examiner arose spontaneously.
This guy is simply a devil who plays with people’s hearts!
Inuzuka Kiba curled his lips, nudged Akamaru at his feet with his elbow, and muttered in a low voice: “Tsk, it’s so scary…” He glanced at Lin Feng, and saw the other party’s nonchalant expression, even with a hint of “I knew it”, and his heart suddenly felt upset.
Damn it! I got tricked by this guy again!
Not only him, but also Gaara from the Sand Village, glanced indifferently at Team 7 and stayed on Lin Feng for a moment.
Toss, Sack, and Kin from the Sound Village, as well as Kabuto Yakushi, who wore glasses and had a harmless smile, all turned their attention to the outstanding newcomers of Konoha this year, especially Team 7.
Uzumaki Naruto’s fool-like courage, Uchiha Sasuke’s ruthlessness and strength, Haruno Sakura’s decisiveness at the last moment (even though they didn’t know the inside story), and… Lin Feng, who was unspeakably relaxed from beginning to end and even dared to confront the examiner in person.
This kid named Lin Feng is so weird.
He answered the questions incredibly quickly, remained calm in the face of accusations of cheating, and even turned the tables on Ibiki’s spirit-crushing tenth question, he was the first to say “That’s it?”
How could this person look like a rookie Genin who had just graduated? He was even more experienced than the old veterans like them!
In the dark, in a corner, the copy ninja Kakashi looked through the gap at the performance of his three disciples (mainly Lin Feng), with a bit of satisfaction in his lazy eyes.
Well, this kid Lin Feng is becoming more and more interesting.
Perhaps, in front of the crystal ball on the top of the Hokage Tower, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was also smoking a pipe with a gratified smile on his face.
Just as the atmosphere in the examination room gradually eased, and everyone thought they could take a breath and digest the roller coaster-like thrilling experience just now –
BANG!!!!
The glass on the window side of the classroom was like being hit by a catapult, and it instantly exploded!
Countless pieces of glass were shot inwards along with strong winds!
An agile figure rushed in through the flying glass shards like a black lightning, and landed heavily in front of the podium with a wild aura!
Bang!
When his feet landed on the ground, a gust of air was created, which made the hair of the candidates in the front row rustle.
The man stopped and everyone could see clearly.
She was a female ninja with a hot body and extremely bold and revealing clothes.
Fishnet lining, open brown windbreaker, miniskirt, and forehead protector tied to the thigh. Her whole body exudes a sense of danger and…sexiness that keeps strangers away?
She held two kunai that were shining with cold light in her hands, with an excited and bloodthirsty smile on her face.
What was even more eye-catching was that behind her, a huge white banner was nailed to the broken window frame and wall by two kunai, with the words written on it in extremely conspicuous fonts –
“The examiner of the second exam, Mitarashi Anko, makes a grand appearance!”
Wash red beans with your hands?
The name caused the pupils of some well-informed candidates to shrink slightly.
Hongdou looked around at the remaining candidates in the classroom. There were many more people than she expected.
She opened her mouth, revealing a smile full of evil humor, and yelled to Ibiki beside her: “Hey, hey, hey! Ibiki! What are you doing? There are still so many people left? You are too soft-hearted this time!”
Her voice is sharp and full of energy, a stark contrast to Ibiki’s more subdued style.
Hongdou licked her lips, her eyes gleaming with excitement, like a wild animal that had found interesting prey.
“Well, forget it! I’ll be in charge of the next round!” She waved her hand violently, and the kunai cut through the air, making a sharp whistle. “You little brats’ good luck has ended! At least half of you will be eliminated by me! Be prepared!”
A wild, violent, and even slightly bloody aura emanated from her unscrupulously, causing the hearts of the examinees who had just relaxed to suddenly rise to their throats!
If Ibiki is the silent pressure like an abyss, then this Mitarashi Anko is an undisguised volcano that may erupt at any time!
“Okay, enough nonsense!” Hongdou put her hands on her hips, raised her chin slightly, and announced, “The location of the second exam–“
Her voice drawled out with a hint of nasty amusement.
“That piece of land behind you, the famous No. 44 training ground!”
“That is…” She grinned, revealing her white teeth. Her smile was brilliant, but the words she said sent chills down everyone’s spine, “-Death Forest!”
Forest of Death!!!
These four words seemed to have magical power, instantly destroying the remaining relaxed atmosphere in the examination room!
Fear crept onto everyone’s face again.
They had more or less heard about the horror legends of that place!
“All the rookies who passed the first exam!” Hongdou put away her smile and said in an unquestionable tone, “Right now, right now! Get to the entrance of the Death Forest and gather! Anyone who dares to be late will be disqualified! Do you understand?!”
Her eyes swept across everyone, with a fierce look that said, “I’ll kill you if you don’t obey.”
The examinees did not dare to delay and stood up one after another. With a nervous mood, they began to leave the classroom under the guidance of the invigilator Chunin.
Lin Feng mingled in the crowd, looking at the bold and wild Hongdou, his eyes flickering slightly.
Mitarashi Anko, the Forest of Death…the plot is finally entering the next climax.
That forest is not just dangerous, the opportunities and challenges hidden in it are also exciting.
His consciousness sank into the system space, and he glanced at the scroll of [Wind Style: Rasenshuriken (Unfinished)] lying quietly in the inventory, as well as the [Lightning Chakra Nature Change] that he had just obtained in the written test and was still warm.
Lin Feng couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, forming an arc full of fighting spirit.
The Forest of Death? Exactly.
It’s time… to use you “prey” to test the power of my new toys!
Chapter 117: Battle for the Heaven and Earth Scroll (Old Version)
Arrived at the outskirts of the 44th training ground.
“Is this the Forest of Death?” Naruto looked up.
Looking at the primeval forest that blocked out the sun before him, there was a hint of uncertainty in his voice.
The towering trees are like silent giants.
The lush tree canopies are intertwined, almost completely blocking out the sunlight.
Only specks of light barely penetrated and were projected onto the ground.
The interior of the forest was dark and filled with an eerie atmosphere.
It was as if some ferocious beast, selectively choosing its prey, was lurking in the depths of darkness, waiting for its chance to strike.
At the entrance, the cold barbed wire was coiled like a giant python.
There was a striking “No Trespassing” warning sign hanging on it, with a few shocking words written in blood-red paint.
But this warning sign is useless to the Genin who are about to take part in the Chunin Exam.
In other words, the warning itself is part of the test.
Mitarashi Anko, the bold examiner, was already standing on the temporary platform in front of the entrance.
Her fiery red hair stood out in the dim light.
Hongdou glanced at the candidates below with different expressions, and a somewhat morbid smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
“Welcome to the Forest of Death!” Her voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone, carrying a chilling sense of excitement.
“I know some of you may have heard the rumors here.” Hongdou paused, deliberately leaving the audience in suspense.
“However, rumors are always just rumors. The real horror needs you to experience it for yourself!”
She opened her arms and took a breath exaggeratedly, as if she was enjoying the cool and humid air in the forest.
“The Death Forest, as the name suggests, is a place where there is only death and no life!” Hongdou’s voice suddenly rose, with a hint of madness.
“Not only are there all kinds of ferocious beasts and poisonous insects in here, but there are also… other candidates who are eyeing your scrolls covetously!”
“Of course, to make this exam more ‘interesting’.” Anko’s smile grew wider, with a dangerous gleam in her eyes.
“We also specially prepared some ‘surprises’ in the forest.”
“For example, more ferocious, modified creatures!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the candidates suddenly became agitated, and the whispers were as loud as the buzzing of mosquitoes and flies.
Modifying organisms? That doesn’t sound like a good idea!
Hongdou looked at the nervousness and anxiety on the candidates’ faces with satisfaction, and then slowly threw out the specific content of the second exam.
“The second test, a survival elimination match!”
“The goal is simple, to fight for the [Scroll of Heaven and Earth]!”
She pointed to the mountain of scroll boxes behind her and continued explaining the rules.
“All teams will randomly draw a scroll from the [Book of Heaven] or the [Book of Earth].”
“Your mission is to carry both the [Book of Heaven] and [Book of Earth] scrolls to the tower in the center of the forest within the next five days!”
“Only the team that collects both scrolls and reaches the tower with all three members will be considered to have passed the second test!”
Hongdou deliberately emphasized the two key words “gather” and “whole team”.
This means that simply getting your own scroll is not enough.
We must seize another scroll from the other team!
Fighting is inevitable!
“Of course, to prevent anyone from cheating.” Hongdou’s mouth corners slightly raised, with a hint of mischievous cunning in her smile.
“I want to warn you in particular, absolutely! Absolutely! Do not open the scroll without permission!”
“Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!”
She deliberately drew out her voice, and her tone was eerie, which made people imagine a lot.
No one knows what kind of horrible thing is hidden in the scroll.
Maybe it’s a trap that’s enough to eliminate them instantly, or maybe it’s an even more terrifying monster.
In short, Hongdou successfully raised the horror atmosphere of the Death Forest to a higher level with just a few words.
“Well, next up is the exciting signing session!” Hongdou clapped her hands and signaled her assistants to bring out the documents that had been prepared long ago.
“In order to let you more deeply experience the ‘excitement’ and ‘cruelness’ of this exam.”
“Before entering the forest, everyone must sign this [Life and Death Agreement]!”
“After all, this is a real battle, and death… can happen at any time!”
The assistants began to distribute death warrants.
The black handwriting on the white paper was particularly eye-catching, like an invitation from the god of death.
The air seemed to freeze, making it hard to breathe.
Naruto looked at the life and death certificate in his hand, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a trace of obvious panic.
“Death? Can people really die?” he asked stutteringly, his voice trembling a little.
Sakura’s face also turned a little pale. She bit her lips tightly and tried to calm herself down.
Only Sasuke still had that cool expression, with no sign of any emotion.
“Stupid Naruto, what are you afraid of?” Sakura said while pretending to be calm, but her voice was a little weak.
“We are ninjas! When we are on a mission, there is always danger!”
Naruto took a deep breath, as if to cheer himself up.
“That’s right! I’m going to be the Hokage! How can I give in here?”
He nodded vigorously, his eyes becoming firm again.
“To become Hokage! To protect my friends! Let’s fight!”
Sakura looked at Naruto’s angry and silly look, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, but the tension in her heart seemed to have dissipated a lot.
She picked up the pen, looked at Sasuke and Lin Feng beside her with complicated eyes, and then solemnly signed her name on the life and death statement.
Sasuke took the death certificate without even glancing at it and started talking.
The movement was quick and decisive, as if what he was signing was not a life or death agreement, but an ordinary note.
Lin Feng took the death certificate and glanced at the terms calmly.
For ninjas, life and death are commonplace.
If you want to become stronger and survive in this cruel world, you must go through these tests.
Without any hesitation, he signed the two words “Lin Feng” on the death certificate.
His handwriting was vigorous and powerful, with a maturity and decisiveness that was inconsistent with his age.
After signing, each team came forward in turn to receive the scroll according to the number they had drawn in advance.
The scroll was wrapped in cloth made of special material and sealed on the outside, making it impossible to tell whether it was the Book of Heaven or the Book of Earth.
The seventh class received the [Book of Earth].
Anko handed the scroll to Kakashi herself with a meaningful smile on her face.
“Teacher Kakashi, please take good care of your students. I am looking forward to their performance.”
Kakashi took the scroll and yawned lazily, but the smile at the corner of his eyes deepened slightly.
“Don’t worry, Anko, I won’t let you down.”
After receiving the scrolls, each team was directed to a different entrance.
Lin Feng activated [Whisper of the Wind God] and tried to find out the types of scrolls received by other teams around him.
See if you can find the target holding the [Book of Heaven] in advance.
However, the seal on the scroll seemed to block all chakra detection.
His perception was like a stone sinking into the ocean, with no response at all.
It seems that we can only think of a solution after entering the forest.
Outside the field, Kakashi stood in the distance, looking at his three students through the gaps in the barbed wire.
His expression was still lazy, as if he was indifferent to everything.
But the Sharingan that was exposed was slightly narrowed, and there was a barely perceptible worry in the depths of his eyes.
Especially, when his eyes fell on Lin Feng, the worry in his eyes became even more intense.
He always felt that this disciple was hiding too many secrets that he could not see through.
“Okay! Fellow candidates!” Hongdou’s voice sounded again, with a hint of impatient excitement.
“I declare that the second round of the Chunin Selection Exam—”
“start!!”
Following Hongdou’s order, all the iron doors at the entrances slowly opened with a heavy sound.
The candidates were like wild beasts released from a cage, rushing into the danger-ridden forest of death!
Chapter 118: First Exploration of the Forest of Death (Old Version)
Buzz——
The heavy iron door closed behind him, making a teeth-grinding friction sound.
The last ray of light from the outside world was completely blocked out.
What hit me in the face was a thick, damp and cold air mixed with the stench of rotten leaves and unknown beasts.
Overhead, the branches and leaves of the giant trees stacked up layer upon layer, like a huge dark green cage, blocking the sky completely. Only sporadic and broken spots of light stubbornly fell on the ground covered with dead branches and leaves.
The interior of the forest was dark and eerily silent. Only the occasional chirping of insects and the faint roars of animals in the distance reminded intruders of the danger.
“Wow, isn’t this place too eerie?” Naruto couldn’t help but shrink his neck and folded his arms, trying to dispel the chill that seeped into his bones.
Sakura also frowned, looked around vigilantly, and tightened the ninja tool bag at her waist.
Sasuke’s expression remained stern, but the sharpness in his eyes was even sharper than usual.
Class 7 acted quickly without any delay.
Lin Feng took the lead in making a few leaps, jumped onto a relatively thick ancient tree with dense branches and leaves, and looked around.
“It’s safe here for now, come down and gather!” He made a gesture.
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura immediately followed, and they gathered at a connection between tree branches covered by dense vines, forming a temporary hidden stronghold.
“Okay, we have the [Book of Earth] in our hands now, and our goal is to grab the [Book of Heaven] and then go to the Central Tower.” Sakura lowered her voice and said quickly, “We only have five days, so we have to have a plan.”
“Plan?” Naruto rubbed his hands together, an excited expression on his face, “Of course! Just find a few guys who look weak, rush up and snatch their scrolls, right? Quick victory!”
“Idiot!” Sakura punched Naruto on the back of the head without any hesitation, “Do you think this is a game? If we act rashly, even if we succeed in grabbing it, our location and the scroll information will be exposed immediately! Then we will be everyone’s target! Do you want to be surrounded?”
Naruto covered his head and muttered aggrievedly: “I, I was just talking…”
“Naruto’s idea is too direct.” Sasuke leaned against the tree trunk, crossed his arms, and analyzed calmly, “We can’t be the first target to be exposed. My suggestion is to move in the general direction of the central tower first. Observe along the way and look for lone or obviously weak teams as targets. At the same time, try to avoid those teams that look strong, such as the red-haired guy in Sunagakure and the ones in Sound Village.”
His eyes swept over Lin Feng.
“Also, always be vigilant.”
Lin Feng nodded, indicating his agreement with Sasuke’s general direction, and then added: “Sasuke is right. However, it’s not just the other candidates that need to be vigilant in this forest.”
He closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and quietly activated [Whisper of the Wind God].
The breeze blew through the leaves, passing through the woods, bringing the subtle movements in the distance into his perception like silk threads.
“The forest itself is dangerous and deadly. We need to prioritize our own safety and well-being, and also pay attention to food and water sources.”
Lin Feng opened his eyes, looked towards the west, and frowned slightly.
“Our current location is relatively safe, and there are no chakra reactions from other teams nearby. But… to the west, about 300 meters away, there is a very strong aura. It’s not a human ninja, but a huge beast in motion. The aura is very fierce, so we’d better avoid that direction.”
Three hundred meters?!
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura all widened their eyes and looked at Lin Feng in disbelief.
Can you sense the breath of non-human creatures from such a long distance?
This is too outrageous!
“Lin Feng, what kind of perception ninjutsu is this?” Sakura couldn’t help but ask curiously, her tone full of amazement, “It’s amazing! Is it more sensitive than the Inuzuka family’s nose?”
“Well, it’s a special application of wind escape.” Lin Feng smiled and mentioned it lightly without explaining the existence of the system.
The more unfathomable he appears, the more say he has in the team, and at critical moments, his judgment is more likely to be adopted by his teammates.
Sure enough, although Naruto and Sasuke didn’t say anything, the look in their eyes when they looked at Lin Feng clearly showed more trust and reliance.
This companion who looks a bit lazy at ordinary times but always gives amazing performance at critical moments has unknowingly become an indispensable reassurance to the team.
“Okay, in that case, let’s divide the work.” Sasuke quickly accepted the reality and began to make arrangements. “Lin Feng, you will be responsible for using your perception ability to be on guard and explore the way, avoid danger in advance, and find the target.”
“I am responsible for formulating the specific course of action and the main combat strategy when encountering the enemy.”
“Xiaoying, you are responsible for setting up some simple warning traps along the way, as well as providing medical support after the battle.”
Sasuke looked at Naruto and paused.
“Naruto…”
Naruto immediately puffed out his chest, looking expectant.
“…You are responsible for… uh, attracting direct fire and acting as bait when necessary.” Sasuke said expressionlessly.
“Huh?! Why am I the bait again?!” Naruto instantly got furious and pointed at his nose and shouted.
“Because you’re the noisiest and most likely to attract attention,” Sasuke replied indifferently.
“You——!”
“Alright, alright, stop arguing!” Sakura quickly tried to smooth things over, “Now isn’t the time for internal strife! It’s settled! Everybody cheer up!”
After finalizing the division of labor, Team 7 did not stop and immediately left the temporary base, beginning to sneak cautiously towards the depths of the forest, which was the approximate location of the central tower.
Lin Feng walked slightly in front of the team, with [Wind God’s Whisper] always kept on, like an invisible radar, carefully scanning any movement within the surrounding hundreds of meters.
The shadows of the trees were mottled, and in the silent forest, the only sound was the rustling of dead leaves as they stepped on them.
The atmosphere was oppressive and tense.
Sudden!
Lin Feng paused, his expression changed slightly, and he shouted in a low voice: “Stop! There is a trap ahead!”
His voice was not loud, but it was full of unquestionable warning!
Naruto and Sasuke stopped almost subconsciously!
Sakura’s nerves tensed up instantly!
The next second they stopped!
laugh–!
The seemingly flat ground in front suddenly collapsed!
A pit more than two meters deep was revealed!
The bottom of the pit was densely packed with thick, sharpened wooden stakes, flashing a cold and sinister light!
Looking at the sharp wooden stake, Naruto couldn’t help but gasp, cold sweat oozing from his forehead.
If Lin Feng had reminded them half a second later, they would have probably turned into skewers by now!
“Phew…that was close…” Sakura patted her chest, still feeling scared.
She took a few steps forward and carefully observed the edge and internal structure of the pit.
“It’s a trap set by other candidates. The method is rather crude, and it should have been set by a novice who just learned it not long ago.” Sakura made a judgment.
Sasuke’s expression grew more serious.
How long have we just entered the forest? We have already encountered hostility from other teams.
It seems that the cruelty of this exam is far beyond their imagination.
Bypassing this deadly trap, Team 7 continued to move forward.
Not far.
“ah–!!!”
A shrill scream suddenly came from the depths of the dense forest in the front left!
Immediately afterwards, there were the sounds of extremely intense ninjutsu collisions, metal clashing, and angry roars!
Boom! Bang! Clang!
The sound was clearly heard, showing the fierceness of the battle!
Apparently, some teams could no longer hold back, or had encountered misfortune, and had already started a brutal battle for the scrolls!
From this moment on, the bloody prelude to the law of the jungle in the forest officially began.
The faces of the three people from Class 7 (except Lin Feng) turned a little ugly.
That scream undoubtedly sounded the alarm for them.
They looked at each other and saw solemnity and vigilance in each other’s eyes.
“Go this way.” Lin Feng pointed to the relatively quiet direction on the right, avoiding the area where the fighting took place.
Now is not the time to expose yourself.
The figures of Class 7, like nimble cheetahs, silently blended into the darker depths of the forest and continued to move towards the tall tower that symbolizes hope and the end.
At the same time, they were searching for their first “prey” in the darkness.
Chapter 119: First Battle Victory and Seizing the Heavenly Book (Old Version)
Team 7 shuttled through the dark woods like hunters blending into the shadows, walking lightly and holding their breath.
They had avoided several obvious traps and a devastated area where a battle had just ended.
Lin Feng’s brows suddenly frowned, and he raised his hand abruptly, signaling the team to stop.
“Southeast direction, about 500 meters.”
His voice was low, but it was clearly heard by his teammates.
“Three streams of chakra are approaching at high speed!”
“It’s very fast, it should be coming towards us.”
He paused and added.
“One of them…feels a little familiar…”
Sasuke’s black pupils contracted and he gave the order immediately without any hesitation.
“Find a place to hide!”
“Get ready to fight!”
The commands are concise and direct.
The three reacted extremely quickly and immediately dispersed, using the thick tree roots, dense bushes and tangled vines to perfectly hide their bodies in the environment.
Naruto held his breath, his heart pounding, and his hand was already on the ninja tool bag.
Sakura took out a few kunai and glanced sharply in the direction of Lin Feng’s warning.
Sasuke leaned against the shadow of a giant tree, his chakra quietly circulating, ready to strike.
Not long after.
The rustling sound of footsteps came closer and closer.
Three ninjas in Rain Village uniforms appeared at the edge of their vision.
The man in the lead had an unpleasant arrogance on his face. He was the guy who tried to peek with a water mirror outside the examination room, but was scared away by Lin Feng’s mental shock!
It is really true that after searching for a long time, you can finally find it without any effort!
Apparently, the Rain Village Genin had also roughly locked onto the location of Team 7 through some means.
He stopped, grinned maliciously, and gestured to his two companions behind him.
The meaning in that look couldn’t be clearer – the prey is right in front of him, get ready to take action and take revenge!
The three Rain Ninjas immediately spread out, forming a loose circle, and carefully searched the area where Team 7 was hiding.
The leading guy started to make seals with his hands, and water vapor appeared in the air. It was obvious that he wanted to use the same trick again and condense the water mirror to conduct precise exploration.
He was too confident and too slow!
Just when he was about to complete the seal!
Sasuke moved!
“Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique!”
He suddenly opened his mouth, and several balls of blazing fire shot out like blooming red lotuses, accompanied by whistling sounds, tearing through the dim air and accurately shooting towards the three members of the Yuyin team!
“What?!”
The Yuyin team was caught off guard and rolled to the sides to avoid the attack with screams!
Boom! Boom!
The fireball hit the ground and tree trunks, exploding with scorching air waves and flying wood chips, instantly disrupting their formation!
“Watch me! Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!”
Naruto seized the opportunity and burst out from his hiding place!
Bang bang bang bang!
White smoke exploded, and dozens of identical Narutos howled and rushed towards the frightened Rain Ninja like a tide!
“Damn it! It’s Konoha’s Genin!”
“Kill them!”
Although the Yuyin team was caught off guard, they were the team that passed the first test after all, and they were not complete fools.
They quickly stabilized their position, and two of them began to perform water-style ninjutsu, forming water whips or water walls, frantically resisting the impact of Naruto’s shadow clones and the sporadic fireballs shot by Sasuke from time to time.
The coordination is quite methodical.
The leading Yugakure Genin blocked the fists of two Narutos and looked at the chaotic scene in front of him with a disdainful sneer on his face.
“Oh, is that all you have? Konoha’s so-called ‘genius’?”
He quickly formed a seal.
“Let me show you real water escape!”
“Water Style: Water Wave!”
He opened his mouth suddenly, and a torrent of water swept out like a water cannon!
Crash——!
The dozen or so Naruto clones that were in the front were instantly dispersed by the violent water flow and disappeared in bursts of white smoke!
“Hahaha! So vulnerable!”
The Yuyin Genin laughed triumphantly, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.
However, his laughter stopped abruptly.
A green shadow, faster than one could imagine, appeared silently at the side and rear of their team, as if teleporting!
It’s Lin Feng!
When will he?!
The pupils of the Yuyin Genin suddenly dilated, and a chill ran from his spine to the top of his head!
Lin Feng’s eyes were calm, with the five fingers of his right hand spread out, his palm facing the wet ground.
Tiny arcs of electricity, like blue elves, danced on his fingertips.
The newly mastered Lightning Escape was used in actual combat for the first time!
“Lightning Release: Earth Walk!”
He growled and his chakra exploded!
Press your palm hard on the ground!
Sizzle——!!!
A sharp electric explosion sounded!
The blue electric snakes visible to the naked eye, like living creatures, spread and rushed out at an alarming speed along the ground covered with dead leaves and moist soil!
“Body! I can’t move!”
Yu Yin and the other two had no time to react, and didn’t even have time to see what was happening, before they were hit instantly by the sudden strong electric current!
The electric current passes through the body, bringing a severe feeling of numbness!
Their bodies instantly stiffened, their movements froze, and even their screams became intermittent!
Good opportunity!
A cold light flashed in Lin Feng’s eyes!
The instant body movement technique is activated!
Superimpose [Swift Escape Affinity] to bring extreme speed!
His figure turned into an almost elusive afterimage, instantly crossing a distance of several meters and appearing in front of Captain Yuyin, who was still maintaining a stiff posture with a look of horror on his face!
He put his right hand fingers together to form a knife, and without any fancy moves, he slashed at the opponent’s fragile carotid artery accurately and swiftly!
A muffled sound.
The Rain Village Genin didn’t even have time to utter a groan before his eyes rolled back and his body fell limply, completely losing consciousness.
Almost at the same time Lin Feng took action.
“Well done!”
Sasuke growled, his Sharingan moved, catching the flaws of the other two Rain Ninjas, and he also rushed forward instantly!
Sakura followed closely behind, holding a kunai, blocking the retreat of one of them!
Without the command of their captain and having their bodies paralyzed by the Lightning Release, the two remaining Rain Ninjas were simply unable to organize an effective resistance.
Sasuke’s physical skills were sharp and deadly. After a few strikes, he kicked a man to the ground and pinned him down with his knees.
Although Sakura’s physical skills were a little weak, she was more than capable of dealing with a paralyzed target who was unable to move. The sharp kunai was pressed against the throat of the last ninja.
The battle, from start to end, lasted only a dozen seconds.
Clean and neat, it was a perfect ambush!
[System prompt]: Successfully defeated the Rain Village Genin team, gained a small amount of experience points, and lottery points +150.
Sasuke and Sakura quickly stepped forward, completely subdued the other two Rain Ninjas who had lost their ability to resist, and tied them up tightly with ropes.
Naruto ran over excitedly, looked at the three Rain Ninjas lying on the ground, then looked at Lin Feng and Sasuke who resolved the fight cleanly and efficiently, and waved his fists excitedly.
“Wow! Lin Feng! Sasuke! You guys are so awesome!”
“What was that ‘crackling’ thing just now? So cool!”
He walked around Lin Feng, looking at him curiously, trying to imitate the walking posture just now.
“Thunder Escape.”
Lin Feng answered concisely, walked to the captain of Yuyin who was knocked unconscious by him, and began to search.
Soon, he took out a scroll wrapped in cloth from the other person’s arms.
Unwrap the outer layer of cloth.
There was a big word “天” written on the scroll!
[Book of Heaven]!
“Found it!”
Lin Feng raised the scroll in his hand.
“Very good!”
Sakura breathed a sigh of relief, a delighted smile on her face.
“In this way, we have collected all the scrolls of heaven and earth!”
Sasuke walked over, glanced at the scroll, then glanced at the unconscious Rain Ninja on the ground with a cold look in his eyes.
“Get rid of them?”
His tone was very calm, as if he was discussing a trivial matter.
Naruto was stunned for a moment: “Huh? Deal with it? Sasuke, they just…”
“Naruto,” Lin Feng interrupted him, his tone calm but with unquestionable determination, “This is the Chunin Exam, a battlefield. To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself.”
“They just wanted to kill us.”
He put away the [Book of Heaven] and walked up to the two tied up Amegakure ninjas.
The two men’s eyes were filled with fear and pleading.
Lin Feng ignored him and swung his knife.
Puff! Puff!
Killed them cleanly and efficiently.
Then, he added some information about the unconscious captain.
The technique was clean and there was no hesitation at all.
Naruto opened his mouth, but finally remained silent. His expression was a little complicated, but he didn’t say anything else.
Sakura also turned her head away, but did not stop him.
They all understood that what Lin Feng said was right.
In this cruel forest, letting the enemy go may very likely sow the seeds of disaster for yourself.
“Okay, now that we have the scroll, we need to get to the central tower as soon as possible.”
Sasuke turned his eyes away from the body and looked deeper into the forest.
“There has just been a battle here. The smell of blood will soon attract other things, whether it is a wild beast or another candidate.”
Lin Feng nodded and activated [Whisper of the Wind God] again to confirm that there were no immediate threats approaching.
“Let’s go, hurry up.”
Team 7 did not stay any longer. They simply dealt with the three bodies, quickly left this short battlefield, and disappeared into the dark forest again.
Their target was clear – the central tower.
But everyone knows that the road ahead will only become more dangerous.
Chapter 120: Snake Shadow Emerges into Crisis (Old Version)
“Great! We collected all the scrolls so quickly!”
Naruto cheered excitedly, almost jumping up and down.
Sakura breathed a sigh of relief and a happy smile appeared on her face, but she quickly restrained it and looked around vigilantly at the bloody smell that was spreading around her.
“It’s not safe here, we have to leave!”
Sasuke walked over, took the [Book of Heaven], checked it, and put it away carefully after confirming that it was correct.
He turned his sharp eyes to Lin Feng, inquiringly.
“That was… Lightning Escape?”
How many times has this happened? How many cards does this guy have hidden? Sasuke felt a complex emotion, both surprise and a little competitive.
Lin Feng nodded, his expression unchanged.
“Well, I just mastered it not long ago, so I’m not proficient yet.”
He just brushed it off and didn’t intend to explain the existence of the system in detail.
Just when they had simply dealt with the scene and were preparing to move immediately.
Lin Feng’s expression suddenly changed!
In the perception network of [Whisper of the Wind God], an extremely cold, sticky, and malicious chakra, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, appeared without any warning at the top of a towering tree not far away!
That chakra was “looking” at them unscrupulously!
This feeling…
gloomy!
powerful!
With disgusting decay and madness!
The source of the aura is somewhat similar to that of the guy who called himself “Night Owl” when he attacked the caravan, but it is completely different!
This chakra is purer and more terrifying, as if it came from the abyss!
Could it be a high-ranking member of the Black Feather Organization?
wrong!
It feels more like… some inhuman being wearing human skin!
Lin Feng’s heart suddenly shrank, he raised his head abruptly, his eyes as sharp as a knife, staring at the crown of the giant tree with the most luxuriant branches and leaves!
He shouted sternly: “Who are you?! Get out!”
“?!”
Naruto and Sasuke were so frightened by Lin Feng’s sudden shout that they trembled all over. They immediately took a defensive posture and followed Lin Feng’s gaze, looking nervously at the dense shadow!
Sakura also clenched her kunai, her palms sweating.
silence.
Deathly silence.
Only the unique chirping of insects in the forest, like a death warrant, struck everyone’s eardrums.
Just when Naruto and the others thought that Lin Feng had made a mistake.
The shadows of the treetops moved.
Then, a figure, like a ghost, slowly and little by little emerged from the gaps between the leaves.
That’s a ninja.
He was wearing the standard green vest of Kusagakure Village, and the forehead protector also displayed the Kusagakure logo.
But his face…
He was so pale without a trace of blood, like a vampire who had not seen the sun for years.
The most creepy thing is his eyes.
The erect pupils, as cold and malicious as a snake, were staring at them unblinkingly.
The corners of his mouth curled up into a strange arc, revealing a chilling smile.
He stuck out an unusually long tongue, and the scarlet tip of his tongue licked the corner of his mouth, making a teeth-grinding “hissing” sound.
Those snake eyes, like a poisonous snake staring at its prey, glanced back and forth between Sasuke and Lin Feng with interest, and finally stopped on Sasuke’s Sharingan, and let out a hoarse and unpleasant laugh, like the sound of an old bellows.
“Hehehe…what a nice look, little Uchiha…”
“And you, the kid over there who can use wind and lightning escape, is also very interesting…”
Just being stared at by those snake eyes.
Sasuke felt as if a cold poisonous snake was entangled around his body, and his blood was about to solidify!
A chill ran from the soles of my feet straight to my forehead, and the hairs on my back exploded instantly!
His Sharingan opened uncontrollably!
The three magatama spun rapidly, locking onto the Kusagakure ninja!
Naruto was so frightened that his legs went limp, his face turned pale, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably, as if he had seen some incomprehensible horror!
Lin Feng’s heart was pounding and alarm bells were ringing in his mind!
It’s indeed him!
Orochimaru!
How could this haunted guy appear here? !
Moreover, judging from his appearance, it seems that the target is not only Sasuke, but also himself? !
Is it because of the lightning escape technique used in the battle just now?
Or did he notice the previous Rasenshuriken fluctuations?
What on earth does this pervert want to do?!
Orochimaru (in disguise) seemed not to notice Naruto and Sakura who were facing a formidable enemy. His attention was completely attracted by Sasuke and Lin Feng.
He jumped down lightly from the treetops, like a weightless fallen leaf, landing lightly on the ground and slowly approaching.
“I am very interested in you two…”
“Hand over your scrolls.”
His voice was hoarse and carried a suffocating sense of oppression, as if he was commanding an ant, and his tone was filled with unquestionable malice and contempt.
“Perhaps, I can consider letting you live a little longer…”
An unprecedented crisis is coming like a mountain pressing down on your head!
Faced with one of the legendary three ninjas, a terrifying existence with the strength of a Kage, Team 7, which had just been celebrating the receipt of the scroll, instantly fell into an icy cave of despair!
The breath of death is blowing in my face!
Lin Feng’s brain was working rapidly, his adrenaline was surging, and every cell was screaming danger!
He stared at Orochimaru who was slowly approaching, his temples throbbing and cold sweat instantly soaking the clothes on his back.
Get away!
Must find a way to escape!
It is absolutely impossible to fight head-on!
Even if he is now and has played all his cards, he can never be a match for a monster of Orochimaru’s level!
His right hand silently reached for the ninja tool bag at his waist, and his fingertips had already touched the cold handle of the [Flying Thunder God Kunai].
At the same time, the other hand was secretly gathering chakra, ready to activate the last trump card – [Spiral Shuriken] when necessary!
Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, you must give it a try!
Chapter 121: Snake Shadow Shrouds Desperate Survival (Old Version)
Orochimaru’s disguised face was as pale as a corpse crawling out of a grave, with a sickening coldness.
His pair of erect snake pupils swept over everyone coldly, like the most poisonous viper choosing its target.
Naruto’s legs were shaking like sieves, his teeth were chattering, he was almost unable to stand, the blood drained from his face, and fear almost swallowed him.
Sakura’s pretty face was also pale, and the hand holding the kunai was shaking constantly. Cold sweat slid down her forehead, soaking her temples.
Only Sasuke, relying on the Uchiha pride and the insight of the Sharingan, forced himself to support his body.
But the three rapidly spinning magatama and the unconcealable fear in his eyes revealed his inner horror.
This chakra… is too terrifying! It is as vast as the abyss, carrying a sticky malice. Its mere existence makes the air freeze and suffocate!
Lin Feng’s heart was beating wildly, and every beat hit his chest hard, as if it was about to explode!
He forced himself to calm down, his brain working frantically at an unprecedented speed.
Fight hard? Seeking death! Purely giving away heads!
Escape? A monster of Orochimaru’s level, with speed and perception ability, would definitely overwhelm them. It would be harder than climbing to heaven to slip away from under his nose!
What should I do?! What should I do?!
In a flash, Lin Feng made a decision!
He lowered his voice and said in a hurried tone that only his teammates could hear: “Naruto! Sasuke! Wait for my command, attack with all your strength, and cover me! Sakura, prepare the medical ninjutsu!”
The voice was filled with unquestionable determination!
At the same time, he screamed frantically in his heart: “System! Damn system! Help! I want to draw a lottery! All in! All the lottery points have been used up!”
[System prompt: The host is detected to be in an extremely dangerous situation, which meets the conditions for the emergency lottery. Do you want to consume all current lottery points (650 points) for the emergency lottery? ]The cold mechanical sound is like the sound of nature!
“Confirm! Now! Right now! Draw the lottery!” Lin Feng did not hesitate. Every second now was torture!
It was as if a rapidly spinning virtual roulette wheel appeared before my eyes, with countless dazzling icons flashing by—powerful ninjutsu, rare bloodline, magical items…
Finally, the pointer stopped on a wooden stake icon that emitted a plain light!
[Special item: Substitute Technique·Advanced Substitute Stake (one-time use)][System prompt: Congratulations to the host for obtaining a special item: Substitute Technique·Advanced Substitute Stake (one-time use). After use, you can instantly create an advanced substitute, which can withstand fatal damage and forcibly teleport the user to a random safe area nearby (range 1 km).]A substitute wooden stake? An advanced one? One that can force teleport?!
Holy shit! What a life-saving skill!
Although it is not an earth-shattering attack ninjutsu, but at the moment, this thing is more effective than any S-level forbidden technique!
Lin Feng was overjoyed. As soon as he thought about it, a palm-sized wooden stake carved with complex patterns appeared in his hand. He held it tightly and hid it in his sleeve.
The Orochimaru (in disguise) on the opposite side seemed to have lost his patience in toying with his prey.
A cold light flashed in his icy snake eyes. He slowly raised his pale hand, and a heart-pounding chakra began to condense.
He is going to take action!
“Now! Do it!” Lin Fengbao shouted, and the chakra in his body exploded instantly!
“Wind Style: Vacuum Jade!”
He opened his mouth and suddenly spurted out several highly compressed air bullets, which made a sharp sound of breaking through the air, tearing through the air and shooting directly into Orochimaru’s face!
“Go!” Naruto was awakened by Lin Feng’s roar. Although fear still occupied his heart, his companion’s instructions made him act subconsciously!
“Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!”
Bang bang bang!
Dozens of Naruto’s shadow clones howled and rushed towards Orochimaru from all directions. Although they were very aggressive, they were like moths to a flame in front of that terrifying existence.
“Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!”
Sasuke also suppressed his fear, locked onto the target with his Sharingan, and spewed out a huge fireball, cooperating with Naruto’s shadow clone to try to create chaos!
However, facing the all-out attack from Team 7.
Orochimaru (in disguise) showed an extremely contemptuous sneer on his face, as if he was watching a group of ignorant insects struggling to their death.
He didn’t even bother to make hand seals and just waved his hands casually.
call–!
An invisible wind wall appeared out of nowhere, easily blocking and blowing away all the vacuum jades, shadow clones, and fireballs!
As easy and casual as dusting off your clothes!
The absolute gap in strength is despairing!
Just when Orochimaru (in disguise) was about to raise his hand to teach these “interesting little bugs” a profound lesson!
A fierce look flashed in Lin Feng’s eyes, and he crushed the high-level substitute wooden stake in his hand without hesitation!
“Walk!”
A cloud of thick white smoke suddenly exploded!
A wooden substitute who looked exactly like Lin Feng and even imitated his breath perfectly appeared at the spot!
Lin Feng’s real body, along with Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura beside him, were enveloped by a gentle but irresistible force of space and disappeared without a trace from their original location in an instant!
laugh!
Orochimaru’s (disguised) attack landed almost at the same time, easily tearing the high-level stand into pieces, with wood chips flying everywhere.
But he was slightly stunned.
Where are the people?
Those three little ghosts… are gone?
His pair of upright snake pupils scanned the surroundings, and his powerful perception spread out, but he only captured a faint remnant of spatial fluctuations.
“Oh?” Orochimaru (disguise) grinned into an even more bizarre arc, stuck out his long tongue to lick his lips, and let out a hoarse laugh.
“Hehehe… Interesting… You actually managed to escape from my hands?”
“Is it that brat’s method? Substitution technique? No, it’s more like some special space ninjutsu props…”
“But it doesn’t matter…”
“You can escape for a while, but you can’t escape forever…”
“The Uchiha brat… and the brat who can use wind and lightning escape techniques… we will see each other again soon…”
The hoarse and deep laughter slowly echoed in the dark and silent forest, filled with creepy malice, and lingered for a long time.
Chapter 122: A temporary escape from the desperate situation (old version)
A dizzy feeling of space distortion suddenly hit me, followed by the shock of feeling my feet grounded.
Lin Feng and his three companions fell awkwardly in an unfamiliar woodland, with dead branches and leaves flying everywhere.
Almost the moment he landed on the ground, Lin Feng climbed up, pulled up the still confused Naruto and Sakura, and shouted: “Run! Don’t stop!”
There is no need for any extra explanation. The icy murderous intent and Orochimaru’s inhuman eyes are still deeply imprinted in everyone’s mind.
The four of them were like frightened birds, bursting out with all their potential, and running wildly in the direction away from where they had just come from without looking back!
The wind was whistling in my ears, the shadows of the trees were rapidly retreating, and my heart was beating wildly in my chest, almost jumping out of my throat.
He didn’t know how long he ran until he felt a burning pain in his lungs and his legs felt heavy as if they were filled with lead. Lin Feng suddenly stopped and held onto a big tree, gasping for breath.
After confirming that the despairing cold chakra was no longer within the perception range of [Whisper of the Wind God], he breathed a sigh of relief.
“Huh…haha…I think…I’ve gotten rid of it for now…”
Plop!
Naruto simply slumped down on the ground, his face pale, sweat soaking his orange jacket, breathing heavily, with a look of deep fear still in his eyes.
“Scared…scared me to death…that guy…who on earth is that guy?! He feels…he feels a hundred times scarier than that bastard Zabuza!”
His voice was trembling, his hands were supporting the ground, and his body was still shaking slightly.
Sakura was also still in shock. She leaned against the tree trunk, her chest heaving violently. She subconsciously checked herself, Naruto and Sasuke to make sure that no one was injured in the chaos and escape. Only then did she feel relieved.
But when she thought of those cold snake eyes, she couldn’t help but shiver.
Sasuke stood aside, his face so gloomy that water could drip out of it.
He slowly closed his Sharingan, which was a little sore from over-stimulation, and clenched his hands into fists, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.
“hateful……”
He roared in a low voice, his voice filled with unspeakable resentment and anger.
“Is this… the power of a Kage-level expert? It’s totally… totally not in the same dimension…”
The feeling of powerlessness just now, the despair that made even resistance seem ridiculous, deeply hurt his Uchiha pride.
Lin Feng looked at his teammates’ distraught expressions and felt heavy in his heart.
This experience was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, extinguishing the little bit of complacency that had grown from his consecutive victories.
Movie level!
Is this the monster standing at the top of the ninja world?
Orochimaru, who was just in disguise, left them powerless to fight back and forced them to flee in embarrassment.
My own strength is far from enough!
He took a deep breath, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, walked over to Naruto and patted his shoulder.
“Don’t lose heart, Naruto.”
His voice had a soothing power.
“It’s already amazing that we were able to escape from that monster.”
“Besides, this time it’s not completely without results.”
As he spoke, he took out the scroll that he had looted from the Rain Village team from his ninja tool bag and spread it out in front of everyone.
The big word “天” on the scroll appeared particularly clear in the dim woods.
“Look, [Book of Heaven].”
“We have collected all the scrolls of heaven and earth. As long as we can reach the central tower, we can pass this damn second exam!”
Naruto’s attention was attracted by the scroll, his scattered eyes refocused, and a little bit of spirit finally appeared on his face.
“Yes…yes! The scroll! We got the scroll!”
Sakura also came over, and when she saw the scroll, a relieved smile appeared on her pale face.
“Great…goal accomplished…”
As long as we can reach the tower, we can temporarily escape from this haunted place and stay away from that scary guy.
Sasuke still had a frown on his face. He raised his head and stared at Lin Feng with his black eyes.
“Lin Feng, the last thing you used… was that a substitution technique?”
His tone was inquiring.
“It feels different from the ordinary substitution technique. Can it actually take us with it?”
Lin Feng nodded, with a “lucky” expression on his face, and explained: “Well, it’s an advanced application of the substitute technique. It’s a life-saving gadget I got by chance before. It can teleport a short distance at a critical moment. However, it’s a one-time use, and it’s gone after it’s used up.”
He was vague, attributing the system’s success to luck and one-time props, avoiding further explanation.
Sure enough, after hearing that it was a one-time thing, the inquiry in Sasuke’s eyes faded a little, and he just said “hmm” lightly without asking any more questions.
The short break calmed down everyone’s wildly fluctuating emotions a little.
But what permeated the air was no longer the previous lightheartedness, but a heavy solemnity.
Orochimaru is like a sword hanging over his head, ready to fall at any time.
“Let’s go. We shouldn’t stay here for long.” Lin Feng stood up and turned on [Wind God’s Whisper] again. His perception range expanded instantly and he scanned the surroundings vigilantly.
“We must get to the Central Tower as soon as possible.”
Class 7 sets out on the journey again.
Everyone’s pace quickened and they were more cautious.
Lin Feng was alert to his surroundings while communicating with the system silently.
[System prompt]: The host successfully escaped from the Kage-level strongman Orochimaru (disguised) and completed the hidden achievement [Survival in Desperate Situation]!
[System prompt]: Obtain 300 lottery points!
[System prompt]: The host’s mental strength has been slightly improved!
Another 300 points!
Lin Feng’s heart moved slightly.
Adding the remaining points from defeating the Yuyin team, there are now a total of 450 points.
However, now is obviously not the time for a lottery.
The threat of Orochimaru is always around, so we must remain vigilant.
Wait until we reach the tower and are safe!
The figures of Team 7 moved quickly through the dark forest of death, heading towards the central tower.
They walked quickly with sharp eyes, always on guard against any danger that might arise.
Little did we know that the real crisis might have just begun to brew.
Deep in the forest, there seemed to be more gazes quietly directed towards them.
Chapter 123 Night Raid! Takigakure Appears (Old Version)
The night in the Forest of Death is so gloomy that you can squeeze water out of it.
The darkness is like thick ink, swallowing up all light.
Unknown wild beasts in the distance let out shrill howls, sometimes sharp, sometimes low, like ghosts crying, hitting everyone’s nerve endings and making their scalps numb.
The wind blew through the leaves, making a whimpering sound, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching in the darkness.
Class 7 found a relatively dry and hidden cave and decided to rest for a while.
A small bonfire was lit in the cave, crackling and dispelling some of the chill, but it could not dispel the tension and fatigue that permeated the air.
Naruto and Sakura had fallen asleep against the wall of the cave. The days of running around and the thrilling escape just now had exhausted their energy.
Sasuke sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, but his furrowed brows showed his inner unrest.
Lin Feng took the initiative to undertake the task of the first round of night watch.
He sat at the entrance of the cave, his back against the cold stone wall, his sharp eyes scanning the dark forest outside the cave.
The light from the campfire cast dancing shadows on his face.
His brain was working rapidly.
Orochimaru.
That nightmare-like existence, just a brief encounter, made them feel unprecedented despair.
That guy will never give up.
Especially towards Sasuke, and also towards himself… Lin Feng could feel that the poisonous snake had also become interested in him.
This is definitely not a good thing.
We must reach the central tower as soon as possible. There are examiners and Konoha’s senior ninjas there, and it is relatively safer.
He silently called up the system panel, and only he could see the dim blue light screen.
[Host: Lin Feng][Chakra Level: Top Genin][Mastered Ninjutsu: Basic Three Body Techniques (Mastered), Wind Style: Great Breakthrough, Wind Style: Vacuum Ball, Wind Style: Wind Blade, Lightning Style: Ground Walking…][Special Abilities: Whisper of the Wind God (Basic), Wind Style Chakra Nature Change, Lightning Style Chakra Nature Change][Item: Flying Thunder God Kunai (specially made) x3…]【Lottery points: 450】
450 points.
The reward for escaping from Orochimaru plus the previous accumulation.
Do you want to draw now? Maybe you can draw some powerful skills to increase your chances of survival?
Lin Feng’s fingertips moved slightly, but he finally suppressed the impulse.
The situation is unclear now, and the forest is full of dangers. If something unusual happens during the draw, or if you draw something that requires time to get familiar with, it would be bad.
Let’s wait until we reach the tower.
He took a deep breath and refocused his attention on alert.
The perception network of [Whisper of the Wind God] is like a dense spider web, quietly spreading out with him as the center, capturing any slight movement in the surrounding environment.
suddenly!
Lin Feng’s eyes suddenly became sharp!
An extremely subtle, almost imperceptible sound of footsteps, like falling leaves brushing across the ground, entered his perception range!
It’s not a beast! It’s a human!
Three!
They are coming towards the cave from the southeast at a very fast speed!
Moreover, the chakra fluctuations contained in the footsteps carried undisguised malice!
He comes with bad intentions!
“Wake up!” Lin Feng shouted in a low voice, and at the same time slapped Sasuke next to him to wake him up.
Naruto and Sakura were also awakened.
Naruto rubbed his sleepy eyes, looking confused, and mumbled: “Huh? What’s wrong, Lin Feng? Is it daybreak?”
Then he saw the solemn expressions of Lin Feng and Sasuke, and he instantly woke up and sat up straight with a start: “Another enemy? What’s going on! Can’t I sleep? It’s endless!”
Sasuke had already stood up, holding a kunai tightly in his hand. His Sharingan opened instantly, and three magatama slowly rotated in his eye sockets, staring at the direction of the cave entrance.
Sakura also reacted very quickly. She immediately took out her weapon and nervously protected Naruto in front of her, assuming a defensive posture.
The atmosphere in the cave suddenly became tense!
Rustle…rustle…
The footsteps are getting closer.
Three dark shadows appeared at the entrance of the cave like ghosts, blocking the bleak moonlight outside and casting a depressing shadow.
With the help of the jumping flames in the cave, Lin Feng could see their forehead protectors clearly – they were ninjas from Takigakure Village!
The leader was of medium build and had an ordinary face, but his eyes were extremely sinister. He stared at Class 7 in the cave like a poisonous snake, with a hideous smile on his face.
This was the guy who looked at Sasuke with malicious eyes when they gathered for the first exam!
“Hehe…” The leading Takigakure ninja let out a low laugh, breaking the silence.
“It’s really a case of searching for something without any effort! Little devils from Konoha, hand over your scrolls of heaven and earth obediently, and I may consider letting you suffer less!”
His tone was full of arrogance and greed, and he didn’t take Team 7 seriously at all.
“Huh?! What bullshit are you talking about!” Naruto was the first to get angry, pointing at the other person’s nose and yelling, “You want a scroll? Dream on! If you have the guts, come and grab it yourself, bastard!”
As he said this, he was about to rush forward like a firecracker.
“Wait, Naruto!” Sasuke held down the impulsive Naruto, and his cold eyes were like a sharp blade, piercing straight into the Takigakure ninja opposite him.
“Is your goal just the scroll?”
Sasuke keenly caught the undisguised targeting in the opponent’s leading ninja’s look at him.
“Or… are you coming for us?”
Upon hearing this, the leading Takigakure ninja’s smile became even more grim, and his eyes were fixed on Sasuke with undisguised malice.
“Oh? As expected of an Uchiha orphan, you are really perceptive.”
He smiled sinisterly and said, “Of course we want the scroll! But… we are more interested in you! Uchiha Sasuke!”
“I heard that your Sharingan is very powerful? That’s perfect. Today, let me experience it for myself! Let’s see how powerful the legendary bloodline limit is!”
really!
Lin Feng’s heart sank.
Trouble is coming.
It seems that their Team 7, especially Sasuke who possesses the Sharingan, has been targeted by some guys with ulterior motives.
Orochimaru is a ninja from Takigakure Village.
“Stop talking nonsense!” The leading Takigakure ninja obviously lost his patience, with a fierce light in his eyes, and waved his hand fiercely, “Do it! Quick battle and quick decision!”
Before he finished speaking, the two Takigakure ninjas behind him pounced out like cheetahs!
One of them quickly formed seals with both hands and shouted, “Water Style: Water Wave!”
A torrent of water gushed out of his mouth and rushed straight towards Team 7 in the cave!
The other one drew out the katana from behind him, lowered his body, and let the chakra under his feet burst out, turning into a trail of afterimage, and went straight for Sasuke who was in the front!
The leading Takigakure ninja also launched an attack at the same time, forming seals with his hands, and a dangerous chakra wave began to condense!
The three Takigakure ninjas cooperated well with each other, and their ninjutsu, taijutsu and timing were quite precise. They were obviously an experienced team!
The attack was so fierce that it instantly blocked Team 7’s escape space!
Meeting on a narrow road! There is no escape!
“Looking for death!” Sasuke’s eyes flashed with cold light, and his Sharingan spun at high speed!
Faced with the brazen attack by the Takigakure team, Team 7’s suppressed anger and fighting instincts are instantly ignited!
A new round of life and death struggle suddenly broke out in the depths of this gloomy forest of death!
Chapter 124: Thunder Escape Demonstrates Power and Instantly Defeates Strong Enemies (Old Version)
The surging water roared into the narrow cave like an out-of-control beast. Humid water vapor instantly spread, carrying a fishy smell.
Almost at the same time, another Takigakure ninja slid along the ground like a viper, and the sword in his hand cut through the air, making a sharp hissing sound, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Sasuke’s throat!
Fast! ruthless! accurate!
These guys from Takigakure Village are obviously not good people. Their every move is deadly and their coordination is quite well organized.
But after experiencing life-and-death battles with opponents of Zabuza, Haku, and even Orochimaru’s level, Team 7 is no longer a weakling!
This level of attack is not enough!
“snort!”
The three magatama in Sasuke’s eyes were spinning rapidly, and the opponent’s movements were infinitely slowed down in his eyes!
He tilted his body slightly and narrowly avoided the deadly blade. The tip of the knife almost grazed the skin of his neck, lifting up a few strands of black hair.
That was a close call!
But there was no fear on Sasuke’s face, and there was even a cold arc at the corner of his mouth.
Without any hesitation, Sasuke quickly formed seals with his hands, puffed up his chest, and suddenly spit out a huge fireball!
The blazing fireball, with the momentum to burn everything, slammed into the surging waves!
“Ahhh! Watch me!”
Naruto, who is so impatient, can no longer hold back his temper.
Bang bang bang bang——!
Dense white smoke exploded, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of Naruto’s shadow clones filled the back half of the cave, and then howled and rushed towards the three Takigakure ninjas at the cave entrance like a flood breaking through a dam!
No matter what water-style swordsmanship you have, you have to face my human wave tactics first!
Although a single shadow clone is vulnerable, this posture is indeed intimidating!
“Don’t even think about it!”
Sakura cried softly.
She did not charge recklessly like Naruto, but observed the battle situation with sharp eyes.
Seeing that the hand seal of the ninja using water escape seemed to be interrupted, she threw out several shurikens at tricky angles without hesitation, blocking the opponent’s evasive route!
At the same time, she held the kunai tightly and vigilantly protected Sasuke from behind to prevent the enemy from making a sneak attack.
Lin Feng stood there, his hands in his pockets, his eyes as calm as an ancient well.
He was not in a hurry to join the battle. The perception of [Whisper of the Wind God] had already captured the chakra flow, breathing rhythm, and even the subtle tension of the muscles of the three Takigakure ninjas clearly.
He is waiting.
Waiting for an opportunity to make the final decision.
There is no need to waste too much time to deal with these small fry who come to your door on their own initiative. You must fight quickly and decisively, and crush them with the most fierce means to deter those possible peepers in the dark!
“Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!”
The leading Takigakure ninja did not panic when he saw his companion Mizuranbo being blocked by the huge fireball.
He changed the seals with his hands, chakra surged, and a ferocious water dragon rose from the ground and pounced on Sasuke with fangs and claws!
At the same time, another Takigakure ninja relied on his agility to rush left and right in the siege of Naruto’s shadow clones, with his sword flashing, constantly destroying the shadow clones in an attempt to break through the defense line.
Hiss, hiss, hiss——!
The water dragon collided with the fireball again, water and fire blended together, making a violent hissing sound, and large amounts of white steam rose up, instantly blurring the vision.
Water controls fire.
Sasuke’s fireball was eventually extinguished and dispersed by the water dragon bullet.
The remaining water flow rushed towards him, and Sasuke had to take two steps back to avoid the sharp edge.
Naruto’s shadow clones were also washed to pieces by the water, and many of them turned into white smoke and disappeared.
For a moment, the Takigakure team actually had the upper hand, and the leading ninja had a smug grin on his face.
Uchiha? Nothing more than that!
Just at this moment!
Lin Feng, who had been “watching the show”, moved!
His figure was like a ghost, leaving a blurry afterimage under the jumping flames, and instantly appeared on the unguarded flank of the Takigakure team!
Too fast!
It was so fast that the three Takigakure ninjas couldn’t even see how he got there!
The leading Takigakure ninja’s pupils suddenly shrank, and alarm bells rang in his heart!
“It’s too late.”
Lin Feng’s mouth curled up in a cold arc.
Sizzle——!
A dazzling flash of lightning suddenly burst out from under his feet!
The golden electric current spread wildly along the wet ground at an astonishing speed like a dancing snake!
The range is wider than the last time we dealt with Yuyin! The speed is faster! The power is stronger!
“Uhhhh!”
“My body…can’t move!”
“Numb…Numb…”
The three Takigakure ninjas didn’t even have time to react before they were swept through the body by the violent electric current!
The intense feeling of numbness made their bodies stiff, their muscles twitched, and even the circulation of their chakras was forcibly interrupted!
The originally tacit cooperation completely collapsed at this moment!
There was a chill in Lin Feng’s eyes, and his talent of [Swift Escape Affinity] and the instant body movement technique were pushed to the extreme at the same time!
His speed soared again!
The whole person turned into a blurry flash of lightning, quickly shuttling between the three motionless Takigakure ninjas!
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Three dull blows sounded almost at the same time!
Lin Feng’s hand knife was precise and fierce, like a sharp blade, mercilessly cutting the back of the neck of the three people!
The force is controlled just right, which can instantly destroy the opponent’s resistance without killing him immediately.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The three Takigakure ninjas’ eyes widened, with expressions of astonishment and disbelief still on their faces. Their bodies collapsed to the ground, completely losing their combat effectiveness.
From the moment Lin Feng took action to the end of the battle, the whole process was smooth and neat!
All together, it’s probably less than a minute!
The Takigakure team, which had been so arrogant just now, was instantly wiped out by Lin Feng alone with such a devastating force!
In the cave, for a moment, the only sounds were the crackling of the campfire and the heavy breathing of the three members of Team 7.
Naruto opened his mouth wide, looking at the three dead bodies lying on the ground, then looked at Lin Feng who was calmly retracting his knife, his eyes widened.
“Wow… Lin Feng… you are too awesome! Is it solved already?”
Xiaoying was also shocked, her mouth slightly open, looking at Lin Feng with eyes full of disbelief.
That lightning speed and terrifying lightning escape just now… was so cool!
Sasuke stood there, his expression changing constantly.
He stared at Lin Feng closely, and his Sharingan clearly captured Lin Feng’s extremely fast body movements and the instantaneous burst of power of Lightning Release.
This guy… has become stronger again!
Moreover, it is not just a little bit strong!
That speed that even the Sharingan could barely keep up with, that astonishingly powerful lightning technique…
For the first time, Sasuke realized that he never really seemed to see through this usually cheerful companion.
Lin Feng’s strength was hidden much deeper than he had imagined!
A strong sense of competition and a slight sense of frustration quietly surged into Sasuke’s heart.
[System prompt: Defeat the Takigakure Genin team (3 people), gain a small amount of experience points, and get 200 lottery points! ][System prompt: Seized [Book of Earth]*1. Detected that the host already has [Book of Heaven], no need to pick up the duplicate scroll. ][System prompt: Thunderous means have been achieved! Some potential peepers in the Death Forest have been successfully deterred! ]Lin Feng looked at the three people who fell to the ground, his eyes not wavering at all.
To be kind to your enemies is to be cruel to yourself.
He understands this principle better than anyone else.
He walked up to the Takigakure ninjas and skillfully searched their bodies, taking away all their ninja tool bags, military ration pills, and some miscellaneous items.
No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.
As for the [Book of Earth], Lin Feng just glanced at it, and after confirming that it was the same as the one he had seized before, he threw it aside.
Now, all he lacks is the [Book of Heaven].
Wait…it seems like they’ve already gathered together?
Lin Feng patted his head. He was so nervous during the previous escape that he forgot about this.
He took out two scrolls from his ninja tool bag, one for [Heaven] and one for [Earth].
Goal, accomplished!
After finishing the search, Lin Feng stood up and brushed the dust off his hands.
He looked at Sasuke and Naruto and grinned.
“Okay, the trash has been cleaned up.”
“The scrolls are all here.”
“We should report to the Central Tower!”
Chapter 125 The Secret of the Black Feather Kunai (Old Version)
The cave was in a mess after the battle.
The bonfire was still crackling, illuminating the slightly tired but excited faces of Class 7.
Lin Feng took the lead, squatted down, and began to explore the three Takigakure ninjas.
His movements were as skillful as those of an experienced pickpocket and his efficiency was extremely high.
Naruto leaned over and looked at it curiously, his eyes glittering with anticipation.
“Brother Feng, check to see if there’s anything good! Maybe there’ll be some equipment or something!”
Without even raising his head, Lin Feng searched the three ninjas’ tool bags thoroughly with his quick hands.
“Ninja tools, kunai, shuriken, detonating talisman, the standard three-piece set.”
He dumped all the loot he had found on the ground and counted the spoils.
“Rations, ration pills, water bottle… huh? Nothing else?”
Naruto’s face suddenly fell, his originally bright eyes dimmed, and he pouted with a look of disgust.
“Tsk, that’s it? I thought I could find some treasure, but after all this time, I found out that you are just a bunch of poor bastards!”
Sakura walked over unhappily, raised her hand and hit Naruto on the back of the head with quite a bit of force, with a loud thud.
“Idiot Naruto! We are on a mission, we are fighting! What nonsense are you thinking about all day long! We are ninjas, not robbers!”
Naruto covered his head and muttered aggrievedly: “It hurts so much Sakura! I’m just trying to liven up the atmosphere. The atmosphere is already so tense…”
Sasuke did not join in their bickering, but walked straight to the body of the leader of the Takigakure team.
He squatted down and scanned the corpse with sharp eyes, as if looking for something.
Finally, his eyes fell on a kunai that fell from the man’s hand.
Sasuke picked up the kunai and held it in front of his eyes to examine it carefully.
This kunai is obviously different from the common standard kunai.
The whole blade is pitch black, with some strange patterns engraved on the blade. The material is not metal, but has a warm texture like jade.
What’s even more strange is that the kunai emits a subtle chakra fluctuation, which is completely different from ordinary ninja tools.
Lin Feng also noticed the kunai in Sasuke’s hand. He walked to Sasuke and his eyes stayed on the strange kunai for a few seconds.
[Whisper of the Wind God] I caught a glimpse of a familiar breath. This breath seemed to have some similarities with the ninja tools used by the Black Feather Organization ninjas I encountered in the Land of Waves before.
“Sasuke, this kunai is interesting.”
As Lin Feng spoke, he reached out and took the kunai from Sasuke’s hand. It was slightly heavy and cold to the touch.
He held the kunai up to his eyes, examining the markings on the blade.
“Let me see what this is.”
Recite silently in your mind, and [System Scan] will start instantly!
[System prompt: Special ninja tool [Black Feather Standard Kunai] detected, suspected to be related to the mysterious organization [Black Feather]. Do you want to consume 100 lottery points for detailed analysis? ]Black Feather Organization!
It really has something to do with them!
Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed, and his guess was confirmed.
Before in the Land of Waves, he had paid attention to the special ninja tools used by the Black Feather Organization. Unexpectedly, he would encounter something related to the Black Feather Organization here again.
“analyze!”
Lin Feng said to himself without hesitation, and 100 lottery points were deducted decisively.
【System prompt: Analyzing…Analysis completed.】
[Black Feather Standard Kunai], standard equipment for members of the Black Feather Organization, made of special materials, can enhance the conductivity of wind attribute chakra, and has weak tracking and positioning functions (special techniques are required). 】
The system’s analysis results made Lin Feng suddenly enlightened.
This kunai is actually the standard equipment of the Black Feather Organization. No wonder it exudes a familiar aura.
What surprised him even more was that this kunai actually had the function of enhancing wind attribute chakra!
For a ninja like him who specialized in wind escape, this was like a pillow sent to him when he was sleepy, a pleasant surprise!
Enhance the conductivity of wind attribute chakra…
Tracking and location capabilities…
Lin Feng stroked the black kunai in his hand, as if thinking about something.
Leaving aside the tracking and positioning function, the property of enhancing the conductivity of wind-attribute chakra is simply tailor-made for him!
His mind moved, and he immediately thought of the [Wind Style: Rasenshuriken] that he was practicing hard.
The power of the Rasenshuriken is indeed strong, but it also requires extremely high control of chakra, and it will get out of control if you are not careful.
If used in conjunction with this Black Feather Standard Kunai, utilizing the kunai’s ability to enhance the conductivity of wind-attribute chakra, it might be easier to control the power of the Rasenshuriken, and even make the Rasenshuriken more powerful!
Thinking of this, Lin Feng couldn’t help but feel eager to try it.
He decided to try it immediately to see how much improvement this black feather kunai could bring him.
He took a deep breath, slowly mobilized the wind-attribute chakra in his body, and tried to inject it into the black kunai in his hand.
The moment the wind-attribute chakra touched the kunai, Lin Feng immediately felt a slight difference.
The chakra flow, which was originally slightly sluggish, suddenly became smooth, as if the originally narrow river channel was widened in an instant.
The wind-attribute chakra seemed to have found an outlet and continuously flowed into the kunai.
A layer of faint green light also appeared on the black kunai blade, and the light flowed, as sharp as a wind blade.
[System Prompt]: The host obtains the special ninja tool [Black Feather Standard Kunai], which slightly improves the control of wind attribute chakra. He also learns the skill [Wind Blade Enhancement] (passive). When using wind-style ninjutsu, he can attach wind attribute chakra to the ninja tool to increase attack power and penetration.
Learned a new skill?!
It’s still a passive skill!
Lin Feng opened his eyes wide in surprise, with an expression of irrepressible excitement on his face.
Defeating the Takigakure team this time was a huge win!
Not only did he gain lottery points, he also unexpectedly obtained a powerful ninja tool and learned a new passive skill!
The strength has been significantly improved again!
He felt that he was one step closer to truly mastering [Wind Style: Rasenshuriken]!
As his fingertips stroked the cold kunai, Lin Feng’s mouth corners slightly raised, and his eyes flashed with confidence.
The central tower is within reach.
And his strength, like this black feather kunai, is becoming more and more powerful!
Chapter 126: Strange Black Feather Night Owl Traces (Old Version)
The aftermath of the battle had not yet dissipated, and the air was filled with a faint smell of blood, mixed with the smell of scorched earth, irritating everyone’s nostrils.
Class 7 didn’t care about all this. They had become accustomed to the cruel law of the Death Forest – the strong prey on the weak and the fittest survive.
After the previous encounter, the team members’ cooperation became more and more tacit. Sasuke’s calmness, Naruto’s momentum, Sakura’s meticulousness, and Lin Feng’s decisiveness, just like gears meshing precisely and running smoothly.
“Huh, I finally got rid of those guys.” Naruto stretched lazily, with a look of relief on his face. “Really, why are there so many blind guys in this broken forest? They are like mad dogs, biting anyone they see!”
Sakura rolled her eyes at him in annoyance, “Isn’t it because you’re too conspicuous, with your golden hair, and you’re afraid that others won’t know that you’re a moving target?”
“Huh? Sakura, what do you mean?!” Naruto was immediately displeased and rolled up his sleeves to argue with Sakura.
Sasuke gave them a cold look and said, “Shut up, you’re making so much noise.”
Naruto and Sakura fell silent instantly. Even though they were harsh in their words, they still subconsciously obeyed Sasuke’s words.
Lin Feng smiled and interrupted their childish bickering, “Okay, stop making trouble, business is more important.”
He looked up at the dark depths of the forest ahead and said, “We have to speed up. The best thing to do is to get to the central tower as soon as possible.”
As he spoke, he took the lead and moved forward in the designated direction.
The depressing atmosphere of the Death Forest seemed to become even stronger. A faint fishy smell began to float in the air, like rotten meat or some kind of chemical agent. It made people feel nauseous after smelling it for a long time.
The surrounding trees also became a little strange. The originally emerald green leaves now had an unnatural yellowish color, and the branches looked dry and fragile, as if they had lost their vitality and would break at any time.
“Wow…what the hell is this smell?” Naruto frowned and exaggeratedly fanned his nose with his hands. “It feels like a hundred skunks were locked up together for three days and three nights. It’s so stinking!”
Xiaoying also covered her nose, frowning, “Something is indeed wrong. The environment in this forest seems to be getting worse and worse.”
Sasuke remained silent, but his eyes scanned the surroundings more vigilantly, his Sharingan turning slightly, capturing all the movements around him.
Lin Feng’s [Whisper of the Wind God] perception range has expanded to the extreme, and any movement around him is clearly fed back to his mind.
In addition to the sound of the wind and the chirping of insects, he also captured some unusual sounds. It was the low roar of some creature, intermittent, sometimes far away, sometimes near, and sounded dull and depressing, like the howling of a trapped animal, or the noise of some mechanical operation.
That sound was definitely not made by an ordinary wild beast. Instead, it was more like… some kind of modified creature?
Lin Feng’s heart trembled, and he remembered Hongdou’s meaningful words before the exam, “The Death Forest will bring you unexpected ‘surprises’.”
At that time, Hongdou had a strange smile on her face. Looking back now, that smile seemed to have a hint of ill intention.
Could it be that the “surprise” that Hongdou mentioned is referring to these modified creatures?
This second exam is far more complicated and dangerous than I imagined!
Just as Lin Feng was thinking, Xiaoying, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped and exclaimed, “Look! What is this?!”
There was a slight tremor in her voice, as if she had seen something shocking.
Naruto was the first to approach, looking at the ground cautiously, “What? What’s so interesting? Is it wild boar poop? Or the shed skin of a poisonous snake?”
Sakura ignored Naruto’s jokes and pointed at the ground, saying in a hurried tone, “It’s not those disgusting things! Look here! There are feathers on the ground!”
feather?
Upon hearing this, Naruto and Sasuke immediately came over and looked in the direction of Sakura’s finger.
I saw some black feathers scattered on the ground, here and there, distributed in the surrounding grass and soil.
The color of those feathers is pure and shiny black, like the finest silk. In the dark forest, they emit a cold and strange luster.
The texture of the feathers is completely different from that of ordinary bird feathers. They are heavy and hard to the touch, and the edges are extremely sharp, like a polished blade. Just a light touch will make people feel a stinging pain.
“??Feathers… so strange.” Naruto reached out and picked up a feather, holding it in his hand and examining it carefully, “It’s black and hard, and feels like it’s made of iron. What kind of bird is this feather? A crow? Or an eagle?”
Sakura shook her head. “No, ordinary bird feathers are not so sharp. Besides, do you feel that these feathers give off an uncomfortable smell?”
Sasuke didn’t say anything, but just silently picked up a feather, put it to his nose and sniffed it gently. Then, his expression changed slightly and his eyes became solemn.
Lin Feng also picked up a feather. It was cold to the touch, and the sharp edge even scratched his fingertips, oozing a trace of blood.
He ignored the pain in his fingertips, staring intently at the black feather in his hand, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
【System Scan】, start!
A faint blue light flashed before his eyes, and the system prompt sound came as expected.
[System prompt: A special item [Black Feather] has been detected, which is suspected to be related to the mysterious organization [Black Feather]. Do you want to consume 100 lottery points for detailed analysis? ]The Black Feather Organization again?!
Lin Feng’s heart suddenly shook, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
Black feather kunai, black feather…
Could it be that people from the Black Feather Organization also sneaked into the Forest of Death?
Are they coming for me? Or do they have other purposes?
“Analysis!” Lin Feng said silently in his mind without hesitation, and 100 lottery points were ruthlessly deducted again.
[Black Feather], feathers of the special creature [Night Owl]. [Night Owl] is a special combat creature secretly cultivated by the Black Feather Organization. It has extremely strong aggressiveness and concealment, and is often used for reconnaissance, assassination and other tasks. 】
Night owl!
The Black Feather Organization actually used even this secret weapon!
Lin Feng’s expression became extremely solemn, and his vigilance instantly reached the highest level.
The night owl, as the name suggests, is a creature that is good at moving at night. It is also given the title of “special combat creature”, so its strength must be extraordinary.
The Black Feather Organization sent Night Owl to sneak into the Death Forest. Their purpose is definitely not simple!
Is it to track me? To spy on other candidates? Or is there some deeper conspiracy going on?
No matter which possibility it is, it is not good news for Class 7.
The danger level of the Death Forest far exceeded their expectations. In addition to unknown natural dangers, there were also threats from other candidates. Now, there was also a mysterious and powerful Black Feather Organization!
“Everyone be careful!” Lin Feng took a deep breath, put away the black feather in his hand, and reminded in a serious tone, “There may be people from the Black Feather Organization lurking in the Death Forest. They have sent out special combat creatures – Night Owls. Everyone must be vigilant!”
When Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke heard this, their expressions changed. The originally relaxed atmosphere disappeared, replaced by solemnity and tension.
The death forest, full of dangers, is like a huge whirlpool that draws Team 7 into it. Unknown dangers and challenges are still waiting for them ahead.
Chapter 127 Deadly Airstrike in the Forest of Death (Old Version)
Lin Feng’s serious reminder was like pouring a bucket of cold water into a boiling oil pan, instantly making the nerves of Class 7, which had just relaxed, tense again.
Black Feather Organization! Night Owl! These unfamiliar words, with an ominous omen, weighed heavily on everyone’s mind.
The team’s progress slowed down significantly.
Naruto stopped making his usual noise and became quiet for a rare time. He looked around vigilantly, his hands remaining on his ninja tool bag.
Sakura walked in the middle, her face a little pale, but her eyes were extremely determined. She held the kunai tightly, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.
Sasuke walked at the end, his Sharingan had already been activated, and the three magatama were slowly spinning, capturing every slight movement in the forest. His stern profile was like a taut bowstring.
Lin Feng walked in the front, and his perception ability of [Whisper of the Wind God] was pushed to the extreme.
The winds around him were no longer simple air currents; they had become Lin Feng’s eyes and ears, clearly feeding back into his mind the whispers from deep in the forest, the chirping of insects, the rustling of leaves, and even the vague chakra fluctuations in the distance.
He is searching.
Look for the unique scent of a “night owl” that may be lurking in the dark.
The faint fishy smell in the air seemed to be even stronger, making people’s throats dry and their hearts tight.
The surrounding trees were becoming more and more eerily withered and yellow, and even the wind that blew past carried a bleak and dead air.
“call out–!”
An extremely sharp sound, tearing the air, exploded overhead without any warning!
The sound was so fast that it was frightening, carrying a murderous intent that pierced the eardrums!
Lin Feng’s hair stood on end and he raised his head almost instinctively!
In the sight, a huge black shadow, like a demon that escaped from the abyss of hell, silently penetrated the dense treetops and rushed towards Team 7 at a desperate speed!
That’s a bird!
A giant black bird whose size is beyond imagination!
When the wings are fully spread, the width is more than two meters!
The entire body is covered with jet-black feathers that are as dark as ink but gleam with a cold metallic glow, and the edge of each feather is frighteningly sharp!
A pair of cold, cruel eyes without any emotion locked onto the prey below!
A feeling of oppression as heavy as a mountain, accompanied by strong winds, came crashing down!
This is the Black Feather Organization’s special combat creature—Night Owl!
“Be careful! It’s Night Owl!”
Lin Feng’s roar sounded almost simultaneously with the night owl’s swoop!
Chakra exploded under his feet, and his body quickly retreated like an arrow, narrowly avoiding the Night Owl’s claws that were as sharp as cast steel!
The speed of this Night Owl is completely beyond the reaction limit of an ordinary Genin!
鸣人只觉得眼前一黑，一股恶风扑面而来，根本来不及做出任何反应！
Sakura’s mind went blank and her body froze in place!
Sasuke’s three-magatama Sharingan spun wildly, but he could only catch a blurry black afterimage passing by!
BANG!!
A loud bang!
The Night Owl’s sharp claws, flashing with cold light, grabbed the place where Lin Feng had just stood!
The hard mud ground burst instantly like tofu hit by a sledgehammer!
Gravel mixed with soil splashed wildly in all directions, leaving behind a shocking claw mark pit!
Unimaginable destructive power!
The same thought popped up in everyone’s mind: If they were caught by this claw, they would definitely be torn in half on the spot!
Class 7 was instantly caught in a life-and-death crisis!
“asshole!”
Sasuke has the fastest reaction, and at the critical moment of life and death, his potential is unleashed!
He formed seals with his hands rapidly, and his movements were so fast that they left afterimages!
A huge fireball with an astonishing diameter, with a high temperature that could burn everything, spewed out of Sasuke’s mouth and violently blasted towards the Night Owl that had just landed!
Facing the blazing fireball, a hint of anthropomorphic disdain flashed across Night Owl’s cold eyes.
It flapped its huge wings suddenly!
A howling gale appeared out of nowhere, forming an air barrier visible to the naked eye!
The fireball that was big enough to melt gold and iron, when it hit the wind pressure, was like hitting an invisible wall. The flames were forcibly blown away and twisted, and finally turned into sparks and went out in mid-air!
After blowing away the fireball, Night Owl pushed the ground with both feet, and its huge body flew into the air again. It adjusted its posture and swooped down towards Team 7 again like a black lightning!
The goal is still clear!
“Ahhh! Damn flat-haired beast! Watch me!”
Naruto finally reacted, he was shocked and angry, and he quickly formed seals with his hands!
“Wind Style: Wind Blade!”
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Several sharp wind blades condensed from wind attribute chakra rotated and slashed towards the Night Owl in mid-air!
However, a shocking scene happened!
Ding ding dong!
A crisp sound of metal collision was heard!
Naruto’s wind blade slashed on the steel-like feathers of the Night Owl, and it was like slashing on a hard iron plate. Sparks flew everywhere, but it was unable to break through the defense and was directly bounced away!
“How is this possible?!” Naruto exclaimed.
Sakura was also anxious. She took a deep breath, gathered chakra in her fists, and tried to rush forward to attack with her super strength.
But the Night Owl’s movement trajectory in the air was erratic and its speed was incredibly fast. She had no way of locking onto its target. If she rushed forward rashly, she would only become a sitting duck!
Seeing the deadly claws approaching again, the shadow of death enveloped everyone!
Lin Feng’s eyes flashed and he no longer hesitated!
He took a deep breath, and the wind-attribute chakra in his body surged wildly like a rushing river!
The chakra flowed along the meridians and was injected into the [Black Feather Standard Kunai] held tightly in the right hand without reservation!
A layer of rich green glow instantly lit up on the surface of the black kunai, flickering like breathing, and a sharp aura surged!
[Swift Escape Affinity] talent, activated!
The speed must be even faster! The strength must be even stronger!
“Wind Style: Vacuum Slash!”
Lin Feng violently swung the black feather kunai in his hand!
A highly concentrated, half-moon-shaped vacuum slash that flashed with dazzling green light, with the momentum to cut through everything, was like a meteor streaking through the night sky, going against the trajectory of the night owl’s dive, and slashed fiercely!
This time, he will use this weapon from the enemy to tear apart the shadow of despair!
Chapter 128: Wind Blade Slashes the Strong Enemy Night Owl (Old Version)
Green light flashes!
Lin Feng’s vacuum slash, with the sharpness of the [Black Feather Standard Kunai], increased its speed and cutting power to an alarming level.
That solid half-moon shaped green slash was no longer a simple chakra, but more like a materialized wind blade, with dense green arcs of electricity flowing on its surface, emitting a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air, heading towards the swooping Night Owl!
Night Owl’s cold pupils suddenly contracted.
It sensed a deadly threat, far greater than Sasuke’s fireball and Naruto’s wind blade before.
The huge wings flapped vigorously, stirring up violent airflow, trying to forcefully change direction in mid-air to dodge.
But, it’s too late!
Lin Feng’s Vacuum Slash, which was infused with the talent of [Swift Escape Affinity] and enhanced by [Wind Blade Enhancement], was so fast that it was beyond imagination!
Puff! !
There was a dull sound, like a sharp blade cutting into thick leather.
The blue vacuum slash accurately hit the base of the Night Owl’s right wing as it tried to flap.
The iron-hard black feathers were broken by the extremely sharp attack! The defense was completely torn apart!
Thick black blood mixed with broken feathers sprayed into the air!
“Cry——!!!”
The night owl let out an extremely shrill howl, the sound was sharp and piercing, full of pain and fear.
The huge body lost its balance and could no longer maintain flight, and fell straight down from the air, spinning.
Boom!
The heavy body slammed heavily into the clearing in the forest, stirring up dust and dead leaves all over the sky, and the ground shook violently.
The night owl twitched a few times on the ground, its broken wings flapping weakly, black blood gushing out continuously, and soon it was completely silent, leaving behind only a mess and an increasingly strong smell of blood.
Kill with one blow!
Lin Feng’s chest rose and fell slightly. He exhaled a breath and looked at the huge corpse of the Night Owl in the distance. A sense of satisfaction of control over the power arose spontaneously.
The [Wind Blade Enhancement] effect of this [Black Feather Standard Kunai] is a perfect match with my own Wind Style! The power of the vacuum slash just now has increased by at least 30%!
“Wow! Lin Feng! You you you…” Naruto’s eyes widened, and he pointed his finger back and forth between the Night Owl’s body and Lin Feng, and was a little incoherent with excitement. “What was that move just now? It was so powerful! Even more powerful than Sasuke’s fireball! Whoosh! It split the ugly bird in half in one go!”
He rushed to the Night Owl’s body and curiously kicked the feathers that still shone with a metallic luster, making a dull “bang bang” sound that made his toes numb. “Tsk tsk, it’s really as hard as a lump of iron! Brother Feng, your trick is amazing! Can you teach me?”
Sasuke and Sakura also came over, with shock on their faces. The amazing speed and defense that Night Owl had just shown made them feel difficult. They didn’t expect that Lin Feng could solve it so easily with one strike.
Lin Feng put away the kunai, a smile appeared on his face, and he explained casually: “It is an advanced application of wind escape ninjutsu. The main reason is that this kunai is quite special and can amplify the power of wind escape.”
He shook the black kunai in his hand.
Sasuke’s eyes fell on the black feather kunai in Lin Feng’s hand, and his sight swept across the smooth and neat cut on the wings of the night owl, and his eyes couldn’t help but deepen. He could see that Lin Feng’s attack just now was not only the power of the ninjutsu itself, but also contained extremely exquisite control skills of wind attribute chakra, combined with that strange kunai, it created such an amazing effect. This guy’s speed of progress and hidden strength were beyond his expectations.
Sakura breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest. The pressure of the giant bird falling from the sky just now still made her feel scared when she recalled it now. “It’s finally solved. I was really scared just now… This bird is too big.”
The crisis was resolved and the tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
Lin Feng ignored his companions’ comments and walked straight to the body of Night Owl. This thing was completely black and its shape was indeed a bit strange. He squatted down and carefully looked at the creation of the Black Feather Organization, thinking silently in his heart.
【System scan】!
[System prompt: The corpse of a special creature [Night Owl] has been detected, which contains special energy fluctuations. Do you want to consume 200 lottery points for dissection and analysis to try to obtain its genetic information and special abilities? ]Anatomical analysis? Obtaining genetic information and special abilities? The functions of this system are becoming more and more advanced! Lin Feng’s eyes lit up. The flying ability and feather hardness of this night owl are quite impressive. If he can analyze something useful, the 200 points will definitely be worth it!
“Confirm the anatomical analysis!” He confirmed in his mind without hesitation.
[System prompt: Anatomy analysis program started… Energy extraction… Gene sequence analysis… Please wait…]It seemed as if invisible energy was flowing through my mind, and after a moment.
[System prompt: Analysis completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the special ability [Night Vision] (passive). The vision at night and in dark environments is greatly improved, and the dynamic vision and environmental perception abilities are correspondingly enhanced.][System prompt: Congratulations to the host for obtaining the rare material [Night Owl Feather]*10. The feather is tough and contains a weak wind attribute chakra. It can be used to forge special ninja tools or be integrated into some wind escape ninjutsu training. ]Passive ability [Night Vision]! And ten pieces of rare material [Night Owl Feather]!
Lin Feng’s mood suddenly became relaxed. Although this encounter was thrilling, the harvest was really rich! Not only did he solve a potential threat from the Black Feather Organization, he tested the power of the new kunai, and also picked up an extremely useful passive ability and rare materials for free.
He blinked subconsciously, and it seemed that the light in the surrounding forest became clearer and brighter, and the originally dim corners could be seen more clearly. The [Night Vision] ability had quietly taken effect.
The strength has been steadily improved!
“Hey, Lin Feng, these bird feathers are so hard, how about plucking a few to take back as souvenirs?” Naruto was still studying the corpse of the Night Owl, eager to try.
“Don’t touch it! It might be poisonous!” Sakura quickly stopped him and looked at the black blood on the ground with disgust.
Lin Feng stood up and clapped his hands. “Don’t worry about the body. We can’t stay here for long. Who knows if other Night Owls or Black Feather Organization members will show up. We have to leave quickly.”
Sasuke also nodded in agreement, and scanned the surrounding environment with his Sharingan again. After confirming that there was no direct threat, he restrained his eyes.
Class 7 quickly reorganized themselves and set out again on the journey to the Central Tower, but everyone had a heavy sense of vigilance in their hearts.
Chapter 129: Wood Release Blocks the Road at the End (Old Version)
The shock brought by killing Night Owl was like an invisible barrier, clearing away a lot of trouble for Team 7 on their journey ahead.
Perhaps it was the residual force of the shocking blow that frightened the lurkers hiding in the dark, or perhaps it was simply that the goddess of luck finally opened her eyes, and the journey thereafter became eerily calm, and even the poisonous insects and ferocious beasts commonly seen in the depths of the forest disappeared.
The disgusting stench gradually faded away, the strangely withered and yellow trees gradually returned to their normal green color, and the air became much fresher.
The suffocating feeling of oppression in the Death Forest dissipated as the view broadened.
The trees became sparse, and the sunlight shone through the gaps between the branches and leaves, casting dappled warmth and dispelling the haze of the past few days.
After passing through the last dense forest, the view suddenly opens up!
A huge stone tower, gray in color, covered with traces of wind erosion and reaching into the sky, stands abruptly in the vast open space in the center of the forest, silently overlooking the forest with an ancient, magnificent and solemn atmosphere.
Central Tower! The End of the Second Chunin Exam!
“Wahahaha! See? We’re here! We’re finally here!” Naruto was like a monkey released from a cage. He instantly recovered with full health. He pointed at the giant tower in the distance and yelled excitedly at the top of his voice. He jumped up and down on the spot with excitement. “Go! The finish line is right in front of us! Ramen! Here I come!”
His legs seemed to be equipped with springs and turned into an orange whirlwind. He couldn’t wait to run towards the tower, as if the tower would grow legs and run away if he was a second late.
A rare hint of relaxation appeared on Sasuke’s stern face. The corners of his tense mouth lifted up slightly, and his eyes looking towards the tower finally revealed a sense of relief.
Xiaoying let out a long sigh of relief. Her pretty face, which had been tense for many days, finally showed an irrepressible joy, and the fatigue in the corners of her eyes was diluted a lot. She raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead. The fatigue, fear and nausea of ​​the past few days seemed to have found an outlet and disappeared when she saw the end.
After so many twists and turns, being bitten by snakes, encountering night owls, and those disgusting traps, they are finally going to succeed!
However, Lin Feng’s heartstrings were not completely relaxed. The newly acquired [Night Vision] ability made his vision sharper even in the daytime, allowing him to capture more subtle changes in light and shadow, while [Wind God Whisper] was still like the most loyal sentinel, monitoring every wisp of air flowing around him, and even able to sense the subtle friction sound of the wind blowing on the stone walls of the distant tower.
It’s so peaceful.
It was abnormally calm.
Based on his understanding of the nature of this world, especially for such a crucial exam, it would be a shame not to do something. He always felt that these last few steps would not be so easy for them to complete. This damn Chunin Exam always likes to put a banana peel before you finish the finish line.
As expected! The good ones don’t work but the bad ones do!
Just when Team 7 was less than a hundred meters away from the tower entrance, and Naruto was about to crash headfirst into the huge, deep doorway—
Boom boom——!!!
The earth suddenly began to shake violently! The shaking came from deep underground, dull and powerful, as if some sleeping giant was waking up and turning over! The ground beneath our feet was undulating like waves!
“Wow!” Naruto, who was sprinting at full speed, was staggered by the sudden vibration and almost fell flat on his face.
Snap! Snap!
The solid ground suddenly cracked into hideous cracks without any warning. The cracks were bottomless, like a huge abyss opened in the earth, with earth and rocks rolling!
Immediately afterwards, countless dark brown tree roots as thick as buckets, twisted and gnarled, and covered with slippery mud, emerged frantically from the cracks with tremendous force, like terrifying tentacles extending from the depths of hell!
They broke out of the ground, making dull tearing sounds, like giant pythons with life, dancing, whipping, and interweaving wildly in the air, at an astonishing speed! In just a few breaths, between Class 7 and the entrance of the tower, an airtight, constantly wriggling, living huge barrier was formed! Blocking the way!
“What the hell?! What the hell is this?” Naruto slammed on the brakes and stopped just in front of the tree root barrier. He was dumbfounded by the sudden horrific scene in front of him, and his mind was full of question marks. “What the hell! We’re almost there! Who’s messing around, bastard!”
Sasuke’s pupils suddenly shrank, and his scarlet Sharingan opened instantly, with three magatama spinning rapidly!
In the field of vision, the huge chakra torrent is clearly visible. The movements of these tree roots seem frantic, but in fact, each whipping and twisting is precisely controlled by a hidden but extremely powerful chakra! The exquisite control is shocking!
Someone is playing tricks! And it’s an expert!
“Underground!” Lin Feng shouted in a low voice, his face solemn!
His [Wind God Whisper] clearly captured a very special chakra wave that was full of life force, yet extremely cold, coming from the ground dozens of meters below their feet! The nature of this chakra… was majestic, tenacious, and full of vitality, yet it also carried an unnatural sense of dead silence… This was…
Wood Release? !
What a joke! How could this bloodline limit that only exists in legends and is unique to the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, appear here?! Is it an enemy? Or is it part of the exam?
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Without giving them more time to think, those madly dancing tree roots seemed to have received new instructions and launched an attack in a more violent and aggressive manner!
They were like countless mad pythons, lashing, entwining, and squeezing Team 7, blocking all possible routes of retreat and evasion! But the strange thing was that although the attack was fierce, it was not fatal. Instead, it was like driving a flock of sheep, forcing them towards the entrance of the tower!
“Be careful! There’s something wrong with these tree roots! Don’t get entangled!” Lin Feng warned loudly, and pulled out the black feather kunai with a green glow, instantly infusing it with wind attribute chakra, ready to force a way out! Sakura also immediately took a defensive stance and protected Naruto’s side.
At this critical moment, the situation was about to get out of control.
In the shadow of the deep and huge entrance of the tower, a figure walked out slowly with unhurried steps.
The man was not tall, wearing a green vest of Konoha style, and a gray ANBU-style jacket on the outside. On his face, he wore a pure white mask that only showed his eyes. The mask was smooth and had no patterns, like a blank face. The eyes under the mask were cold and empty, without any human emotions, like two bottomless cold springs, or like a high god looking down at struggling ants.
He stood there quietly, as if he had merged with the darkness behind him. Although he was only one person, he exuded a sense of oppression as heavy as a mountain, which made people feel anxious and panic. Even the dancing tree roots around him seemed to calm down a little.
The mysterious ninja raised his head, and his cold eyes swept across Team 7, who were in a bit of a mess due to the tree roots, and finally stopped at Lin Feng, seemingly staying there for half a second longer. He spoke slowly.
The voice was low and hoarse, like two pieces of rough sandpaper rubbing against each other, without any ups and downs in the tone.
“Welcome to the Central Tower…”
“If you want to pass the exam, you have to defeat me first.”
The last gatekeeper finally appeared!
This sudden final trial came with an almost suffocating pressure and the legendary power of wood escape!
Chapter 130: Desperate Situation! The Fusion of Thunder and Wind Shows Its Power (Old Version)
The masked ninja’s extremely cold words “Defeat me” were like a death sentence.
Class 7 understood instantly that it was too late to say anything.
Want to cross the bridge?
Pay the bribe first!
Naruto’s nerves exploded, and all the previous frustration, shock, and fatigue turned into anger.
“Fuck! Come again!”
“You think I’m a soft persimmon?”
“Rasengan!!”
He roared, chakra gushing out like crazy, and his hands quickly formed seals, ready to roll the balls into balls and stick them all over the masked face.
“Naruto! Wait!”
Sasuke said in an unnaturally calm tone as he grabbed Naruto’s arm and pulled him back.
“Don’t be stupid, Naruto.”
“The other party used Wood Release.”
“If we fight head-on, we will be the ones who suffer.”
Sakura also nodded solemnly, and it was rare for the super-strong girl not to get carried away.
“Sasuke is right, Naruto.”
“This guy’s chakra level is not even at the Genin level.”
“Be careful, don’t capsize in the ditch.”
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and activated [Wind God’s Whisper] at full power, scanning the masked man in front of him like a radar.
Indeed, the opponent’s chakra strength is ridiculously high and oppressive, but…
It seems that he has not reached the perverted level of a jonin?
Special jonin?
Elite Chunin?
It is possible.
Lin Feng thought quickly in his mind and came up with an idea.
“Sasuke, Sakura, cover me!”
“It’s unwise to play dirty tricks on him and confront him head-on.”
Sasuke and Sakura looked at each other and understood immediately.
“clear!”
“Don’t worry, Brother Feng!”
The three of them exchanged glances, and the tactical deployment was completed with just one glance, with terrifyingly high efficiency.
Lin Feng stopped talking nonsense and the chakra under his feet suddenly burst out!
[Swift Escape Affinity] is activated instantly, and the speed soars to the limit!
The whole person was like an arrow shot from a bow, or like a green phantom, rushing towards the masked ninja head-on with a sharp sound of breaking through the air!
The [Black Feather Standard Kunai] in his hand reflected a cold light in the sunlight, like the scythe of the god of death.
“Humph, you overestimate your own abilities.”
The corners of the masked ninja’s mouth seemed to be raised in a mocking arc.
He snorted coldly and began to make seals with his hands.
The madly dancing tree roots on the ground seemed to have received orders and started to run wild in an instant!
“Swish, swish, swish, swish——!”
Countless thick tree roots, like mad pythons coming out of a cave, came towards Lin Feng, lashing, sweeping, and entangling him!
Each one carries with it a terrifying force that can split mountains and crack rocks; the air is sucked out with a piercing explosion!
“Oh my god! Are you serious?”
Lin Feng’s eyelids jumped. This Wood Release was so damn awesome!
But he is faster!
His figure shuttled through the gaps between the tree roots like a ghost, moving left and right, up and down, as if dancing on the edge of a knife. Every dodge was extremely dangerous, but extremely accurate.
The black feather kunai in his hand was wielded so tightly that no air could penetrate it. Green wind blades kept bursting out, cutting off the attacking tree roots one by one!
“Puff, puff, puff!”
The effect of [Wind Blade Enhancement] is fully demonstrated at this time.
The extremely tough tree roots were as fragile as tofu dregs in front of the Black Feather Kunai and were easily cut, with wood chips flying everywhere.
But, there are just too many tree roots!
And it is endless, as if it is endless and can never be cut down!
Lin Feng felt like he was stuck in a quagmire, sinking deeper and deeper. Although he could still hold on for the time being, if he continued like this, he would be exhausted to death sooner or later!
“Sasuke! Sakura! What are you standing there for? Get him!”
Lin Feng dodged frantically while shouting loudly, his voice filled with a hint of anxiety.
“Here it comes!”
Naruto yelled and rushed forward, but was pulled back by Sasuke.
“Stupid Naruto! Stop making trouble!”
“Watch me!”
Sasuke growled, his scarlet three-magatama Sharingan spinning wildly, staring intently at the masked ninja’s movements.
He wants to find the opponent’s weakness!
Sasuke formed seals with his hands, condensed chakra deep in his throat, and suddenly spurted out!
“boom–!!”
A huge fireball, with scorching heat, roared towards the masked ninja!
Sakura also moved. She took a deep breath and gathered all the chakra in her body on her legs!
“Bang!”
Stamp your feet suddenly!
The ground suddenly cracked, and spider-web-like cracks spread in all directions!
“Strange power, ground cracking!”
She tried to use her extraordinary strength to destroy the ground structure in order to interfere with the foundation of Wood Release.
However……
“It’s just a trifle.”
The masked ninja’s voice was cold and contained a hint of disdain.
Facing Sasuke’s powerful fireball, he didn’t even look at it, but just waved it casually.
“Wood Release: Wood Wall!”
A thick wooden wall suddenly rose from the ground, blocking the masked ninja!
Sasuke’s huge fireball hit the wooden wall hard, making a deafening explosion!
Flames splashed and heat waves rolled, but the wooden wall did not move at all, not even a trace of burning was left!
Sakura’s strange power attack was like tickling, the ground cracked and healed quickly. The vitality of Wood Release was terrifyingly strong!
“Oh no! This guy is more difficult than I thought!”
Sasuke’s face turned ugly. The defensive power of this Wood Release was simply abnormal!
At this moment, the seals of the masked ninja’s hands suddenly changed!
“Wood Release: Tree Binding and Eternal Burial!”
The deep voice, like the whisper of death, echoed in the woods.
“Crack, crack, crack—!”
The tree roots are thicker, more violent, and more astonishingly numerous, like an evil dragon awakening from the ground, breaking out of the ground madly!
In an instant, the ground within a radius of dozens of meters with Lin Feng as the center was covered with dense tree roots!
Those tree roots twisted wildly, intertwined and entangled like living things. In the blink of an eye, they formed a huge wooden cage, completely trapping Lin Feng inside!
The cage was still shrinking and squeezing, making a teeth-grinding “crunching” sound, as if it was going to crush the prey inside into meat paste!
“Oh my god! I’m screwed!”
Lin Feng’s eyelids were twitching wildly. This wooden cage was extremely oppressive!
From all directions, there are tree roots as hard as steel, pressing in madly, leaving no way to avoid or retreat!
Head-on confrontation?
He is not so arrogant as to be able to resist Wood Release with his physical body!
what to do?!
At the critical moment of life and death, Lin Feng’s adrenaline soared to the extreme, and his brain worked rapidly, like an overclocked CPU!
no!
We can’t hide it anymore!
If you hold back any longer, you’ll lose your life!
Let’s do it!
He took a deep breath and mobilized all the chakra in his body!
Wind attribute chakra and lightning attribute chakra, two completely different chakra properties, were surging wildly in his body, colliding, rubbing, and making crackling sounds of electric arcs!
Danger!
violent!
However, it also contains a terrifying force that is enough to tear everything apart!
This is the prototype of his killer weapon that he has been practicing in secret but has never completed!
Lightning Release…
Wind Escape…
Fusion Ninjutsu…
Thunder Wind…
vacuum……
cut!!
Chapter 131 Wind and Thunder Destroy the Wooden Prison (Old Version)
The squeezing sound of the Wood Release Cage became more and more harsh, creaking, and the tough tree roots rubbed against each other like a giant python contracting. Every inch of space was being ruthlessly deprived, and the air was so thin that it was suffocating.
Lin Feng was trapped in the center and felt that the air in his lungs was about to be squeezed out. His bones groaned under the tremendous pressure and the edges of his vision began to darken.
Damn it, let’s take a gamble! If I keep hiding, I’ll really be crushed into a pulp by this damn thing!
The knowledge of [Lightning Chakra Nature Change] rewarded by the system and the rough outline of the violent and unstable principle of [Wind Style: Rasenshuriken] flashed through his mind quickly.
The wind helps the thunder, and the thunder helps the wind!
He forcibly mobilized the little chakra left in his body. Wind and lightning, two completely different and extremely violent forces, were pulled into the palm of his right hand!
Swish! Swish!
As soon as the cyan wind vortex and the dazzling purple electric light came into contact, they collided and rubbed violently, making a tooth-grinding scream! It was as if he was holding a thunder ball in his palm that could explode at any time. The energy was extremely unstable, and the violent energy turbulence even began to reversely impact his meridians, causing a needle-like piercing pain!
This power is violent and dangerous, but it also has the potential to tear everything apart!
Outside the wooden cage, the masked ninja’s inorganic eyes finally showed some fluctuations. He clearly sensed the rapidly rising, heart-pounding chakra inside the cage!
This guy is changing two properties?! How can he merge them so roughly?!
We can’t let him succeed! This power is too dangerous!
The masked ninja’s eyes condensed, and he clasped his hands together, and his chakra output suddenly increased! The trees that formed the cage suddenly shrank inwards, making a dull cracking sound!
“Break it for me!”
The speed at which the Wood Release Cage contracted suddenly increased several times, and countless roots squeezed madly, trying to crush Lin Feng into powder before he could complete that unknown and extremely unstable technique!
“Lin Feng!”
“Brother Feng!”
Sasuke and Sakura were watching from the outside, terrified and screaming loudly.
But the newly grown tree roots were like an endless tide, rushing in madly, blocking them tightly, and they couldn’t get any closer at all!
Sasuke’s scarlet three-magatama Sharingan spun wildly, locking onto the masked ninja. He caught it clearly! Just now! At the moment when the opponent increased the output of chakra, the flow of chakra was extremely disordered and shaken for a short time! It was a subconscious surprise and… fear!
This guy is afraid of the technique that Lin Feng is condensing!
Inside the wooden prison, the vision was almost completely swallowed up by darkness, and the squeezing force almost crushed Lin Feng’s consciousness.
The moment before the wooden cage closed completely and the darkness was about to completely swallow him!
Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes, his eyeballs were bloodshot, burning with desperate madness and determination!
“Wind Lightning Release: Explosive Impact!”
He used up his last bit of strength to push outwards the wind and thunder chakra in his palm, which had become extremely violent and on the verge of being out of control!
The earth-shattering roar was like thousands of thunders exploding in my ears at the same time! The blinding white light instantly overwhelmed all vision, followed by a roar that shattered the eardrums, and the entire space seemed to freeze for a moment!
Indescribable terrifying energy exploded with Lin Feng as the center!
The violent torrent of energy swept wildly in all directions!
The extremely solid Wood Release Cage, which is said to have absolute defensive power, is as fragile as an ice cube thrown into a furnace in the face of this destructive force!
Bang, crack!
It was instantly blown to pieces! Vaporized! Annihilated!
Countless charred and broken wood chips mixed with the destructive shock wave, spreading wildly in all directions in a destructive ring! The shock wave swept across the ground, and the hard land rolled and cracked as if it had been plowed!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
All the tree roots close to the cage, no matter how thick or thin, were torn into pieces and turned into ashes the moment they came into contact with the shock wave!
The violent impact even caused the masked ninja, who was standing as steady as a mountain, to lose control of his body and stumble back seven or eight steps! Under the unchanging pure white mask on his face, his breathing seemed to stagnate for half a second, and for the first time, an expression of unbelievable horror appeared in his eyes!
The smoke and dust filled the air and slowly dissipated.
Lin Feng’s figure reappeared in the center of the open space.
He knelt on one knee on the cracked ground, his body heaving violently, gasping for air like a broken bellows, his combat uniform was tattered and burnt, and there was a glaring bloodstain at the corner of his mouth, dripping slowly. His internal organs seemed to be displaced, and he felt a burning pain. Every breath he took was accompanied by severe pain, and his meridians felt torn.
Obviously, the desperate attack just now, the forced fusion and release of the unfinished Wind and Thunder Escape Technique, had a very serious backlash on him.
But his eyes were frighteningly bright, like a raging fire in the dark night, filled with unyielding fighting spirit!
[System prompt: The host attempts to fuse wind and thunder attribute chakra in battle, [Wind and Thunder Release: Explosion Impact] (prototype) proficiency +10, [Chakra control] slightly improved, and 100 lottery points obtained. ]The reminder sound in his mind was like a drop of sweet water in a tired desert, which slightly refreshed Lin Feng’s exhausted spirit.
The masked ninja finally stood firm, looking at Lin Feng, who was in a miserable state but whose momentum was increasing. For the first time, there was a hint of disbelief in his hoarse voice.
“To my surprise… I can fuse wind and lightning to this extent…”
“You are indeed not simple.”
Lin Feng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, leaned on his knees, stood up shakily, and gripped the black feather standard kunai that was still glowing green. His voice was hoarse but icy cold.
“Stop the fucking bullshit!”
“Whatever tricks you have up your sleeve, just use them!” Damn it, I almost died here, I must settle this score!
“Great! You’re okay!”
Sasuke and Sakura saw that Lin Feng not only successfully escaped, but also burst out with such earth-shattering power and forcibly broke through the seemingly unsolvable Wood Release cage. The previous despair and worry were instantly replaced by great surprise and excitement!
This guy has become stronger again! And he is a little too strong!
Morale was instantly raised to the peak!
“superior!”
Sasuke shouted, no longer hesitating, his Sharingan locked onto the tiny flaw that appeared on the masked ninja due to shock, and his figure turned into a black lightning, rushing up again! The sharp sound of the Chidori Sharp Spear was faintly heard!
Sakura shouted, and followed closely, gathering pink chakra into her fist. She stomped her feet hard, and the ground cracked again. She shot out like a cannonball, rushing straight at the masked ninja with an unstoppable momentum! No matter what kind of wood escape technique you have, take my punch first!
Although Naruto had not been able to help just now, he was also very excited at this moment, and he shouted and made hand seals: “Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!” Bang bang bang! A large group of orange figures appeared. Although their fighting ability was worrying, they won in momentum and… the ability to cause trouble.
Faced with Team 7’s powerful attack again, especially fearing Lin Feng’s Wind and Lightning Release Technique, which was not yet fully mastered but was extremely powerful and enough to threaten the Wood Release Defense, the masked ninja finally seemed to feel unprecedented pressure.
He no longer holds back.
“It seems that we have to put in some real effort.” The voice under the mask seemed to carry a hint of seriousness.
He quickly formed seals with his hands, several times faster than before!
“Wood Release: Tree World Arrives!”
There was a more violent vibration than before, and the entire ground seemed to come alive. Countless thicker and more ferocious giant trees rose from the ground and grew wildly, with branches waving like claws, instantly turning this open space into a real primeval forest full of murderous intent!
The battle instantly entered its most intense stage! Class 7 was caught in an unprecedented bitter battle!
Chapter 132: The shocking reversal is actually Kakashi (old version)
Class 7’s counterattack was as fierce and determined as a beast forced into a desperate situation.
The chaotic jungle created by the arrival of the Tree World actually became an excellent cover for them.
Sasuke’s three-magatama Sharingan spun wildly, capturing an extremely brief chakra stagnation point when the masked ninja was controlling the giant tree! Flaw!
“Now!”
Without hesitation, he changed the seals of his hands rapidly!
“Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique!”
A violent fire dragon, with the rage to burn everything, followed the trajectory that Sasuke’s eyes were locked on, tearing through the air with incredible precision, and rushed straight into the fleeting gap of the masked ninja!
Naruto had been holding back his anger for a long time, and when he saw the right opportunity, his shadow clones emerged like dumplings. The orange figures covered the sky and the earth, and he pounced on the masked ninja fearlessly, using his hands and feet to pester him, trying to overwhelm him with the human wave tactic!
Lin Feng saw clearly that the opportunity had come!
He endured the tearing pain in his meridians and squeezed the remaining chakra in his body again. The power of wind and thunder gathered in his palms again!
Swish——!
A ball of energy that was more unstable but more violent than before condensed in his hands. Purple arcs of electricity jumped wildly, making shrill screams, and even the surrounding air began to distort!
Go to hell, you bastard!
[Wind Lightning Release: Explosive Impact]!
At this critical moment, when Lin Feng was about to blast this bomb of concentrated destructive energy at the masked ninja who was temporarily entangled by the shadow clone——
The masked ninja, who was struggling to resist the entanglement of the shadow clone, suddenly stopped.
He gave up resistance and let several shadow clones attack him empty-handed.
The figure flashed like a ghost, and with a speed and flexibility far beyond what it had before, it easily avoided Lin Feng’s [Wind Lightning Escape: Explosive Impact] that was powerful enough to split mountains and rocks. At the same time, it took the initiative to leap back, creating a distance of dozens of meters.
Boom! !
The explosive impact hit the open space hard, creating another huge deep pit, with earth and rocks flying everywhere and smoke and dust filling the air.
Everyone in Team 7 was stunned, and the attack came to an abrupt halt.
Naruto’s shadow clone stood there blankly, scratching his head.
Sasuke’s Sharingan was fixed on the other person, his brows furrowed.
Sakura also stopped charging, looking confused.
What the hell is this guy doing?
Why did you stop suddenly?
The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.
The mysterious masked ninja was seen standing leisurely in the distance, brushing off the dust on his combat uniform with his hands, his movements were as leisurely as if he was taking a walk in his own backyard.
Then, under the astonished gaze of the three members of Team 7, he slowly raised his hand and took off the pure white mask on his face.
Under the mask, was a face that they were all very familiar with – silver-white hair, lazy dead fish eyes, and a playful smile at the corner of the mouth.
Hatake Kakashi!
“K…Kakashi…Sensei?!”
Naruto’s eyes almost popped out of his head, his finger pointing at Kakashi was shaking, and he stammered.
Sasuke’s pupils suddenly shrank, his Sharingan instantly returned to normal, and his cold face was full of disbelief.
Sakura even covered her mouth, her mind going blank.
After all this time, this mysterious Wood Release master who beat them to death and forced Lin Feng to almost explode and self-harm was actually their team leader? !
Kakashi returned to his signature lazy tone and even waved at them, grinning, “Yo.”
“Not bad, guys.”
He looked at Lin Feng in particular, with undisguised admiration in his eyes: “Especially Lin Feng, the power of that Wind and Lightning Escape just now was quite astonishing. It almost made even me, the teacher, take it seriously.”
The corner of Lin Feng’s mouth twitched violently.
Feeling the empty chakra in his body, like a sponge that had been squeezed dry, and the waves of tearing pain coming from his internal organs, he was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry for a moment.
This old silver coin!
He slumped down on the cracked ground, not even having the strength to stand up. He raised his head and looked at Kakashi’s smiling face that deserved a beating. His voice was hoarse and full of helplessness: “Teacher… what are you trying to do?”
Almost! Just a little bit! I would have lost my life!
Kakashi shrugged lazily, put his hands back into his trouser pockets, and returned to his unchanging lazy look. He explained: “Well, don’t be so nervous, relax.”
“This is the last hidden level of the second exam.”
“The jonin who is in charge of guiding you will personally test the overall strength of the teams that successfully reach the finish line, and most importantly – their teamwork ability.”
His exposed eye swept over the three members of Team 7 who looked disheveled but still had sharp eyes, and continued, “After all, the Chunin Exam is not a relaxing picnic. We must ensure that you have enough qualifications and potential to face the more cruel and real challenges in the next stage.”
Kakashi looked around at Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura, his eyes revealing obvious satisfaction and relief.
“To be honest, your performance has exceeded my expectations.”
“Not only did they successfully collect all the scrolls of heaven and earth from the dangerous Death Forest within the specified time, but they also showed extraordinary courage, keen judgment, and most importantly, an unbreakable team spirit under the tremendous pressure of facing a ‘powerful enemy’ like me (although it was fake). “
Kakashi put away his lazy smile and his tone became serious, with an unquestionable authority.
“So I declare that Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, Lin Feng…”
“Konoha Team 7, Second Round of the Chunin Exam—”
“Everyone, passed!”
Almost at the moment Kakashi finished speaking!
[System prompt]: Congratulations to the host for successfully passing the final test of the second round of the Chunin Exam (Forest of Death)!
[System prompt]: The host performed excellently in the trial, showing strong personal potential, on-the-spot adaptability and teamwork awareness, and received special evaluation!
[System prompt]: Rewards: Lottery points +1000 points! [Wind Lightning Release: Explosion Impact] (Prototype) proficiency +20! [Spiritual Power] gets a moderate increase!
A series of clear and pleasant system prompt sounds rang out in Lin Feng’s mind, like a sweet rain in the dry desert!
The fatigue that almost drained him dry, as well as the severe pain in his body, seemed to be alleviated a lot in the face of this incredibly generous reward.
One thousand points!
There is also an improvement in the proficiency of Wind and Thunder Escape and mental strength!
This time… it was worth the beating! A huge profit!
Kakashi took out a brand new scroll from somewhere. It had an ancient style and looked like it was no ordinary item. He threw it towards Lin Feng who was still slumped on the ground.
“Here, this is a special reward for your team. It also counts as a certificate for entering the next stage of the exam.”
“We have a few days of rest next time. Let’s adjust our condition and recharge our batteries.”
Kakashi glanced at the three people again, and finally added meaningfully: “Because the next challenge will only be more cruel and will test your strength and will even more. Don’t take it lightly.”
Lin Feng subconsciously reached out and caught the scroll steadily. It felt slightly heavy in his hand and had a special texture.
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura also came over immediately, staring at the scroll in Lin Feng’s hand with burning eyes. It symbolized victory, promotion, and… “compensation” for being cheated by their own teacher.
Everyone’s face showed irrepressible excitement and ecstasy.
Although he was severely “educated” by Kakashi in this almost “tortuous” way, and felt a little depressed and aggrieved, the great sense of accomplishment in successfully passing the hellish trial of the Death Forest, and the satisfaction of being recognized by Kakashi, Konoha’s top elite jonin, instantly diluted all his previous fatigue, fear and unhappiness.
They did it!
Class 7 successfully passed through the Death Forest!
Chapter 133: Resting in the Tower and Watching the Heroes (Old Version)
Kakashi waved his hand, signaling Team 7 to follow.
He was the first to walk into the tall tower that stood out in the center of the Death Forest.
Lin Feng took a deep breath, endured the fatigue and pain in his body, and together with Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, followed Kakashi’s footsteps and stepped into the threshold of the tower.
“Wow…” Naruto couldn’t help but exclaim.
The space inside the tower is much more spacious than it appears from the outside.
The cold stone wall pierces the dome directly, and is engraved with dense runes that are obscure and difficult to understand, exuding an ancient and oppressive atmosphere.
On the walls hung huge portraits of successive Hokage, the first, second, third… Their eyes were deep, with the accumulation of years, silently watching every intruder below, making the entire hall shrouded in a solemn atmosphere.
Many figures have gathered in the central area of ​​the hall.
Lin Feng took a quick look and immediately recognized several familiar faces.
Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, Hinata Hyuga from Team 8, Shikamaru Nara, Chouji Akimichi, Ino Yamanaka from Team 10, their contemporaries from Konoha, were prominently listed.
Most of them were also tired, but there was a bit more tenacity in their eyes after the trial in the Death Forest.
In addition to Konoha’s ninjas, there are also teams from other villages.
There is Gaara’s team from the Sand Village, who carries a huge gourd and has eyes as cold as ice, and there is Toss’s team from the Sound Village, who is wrapped in bandages and exudes an evil aura… Each force clearly occupies different areas and looks at each other vigilantly. There is a silent and tense sense of confrontation in the air.
The appearance of Class 7 was like dropping a stone into a calm lake.
Swish, swish, swish——
Almost everyone’s eyes were instantly focused on them.
Especially when they saw the obvious traces of battle on Lin Feng and Sasuke, and Naruto’s orange jacket that was tattered and almost turned into strips of cloth, many people’s eyes changed.
Anyone who can walk out of the Death Forest alive and collect all the scrolls to arrive here is not a simple character.
“切。”犬冢牙抱着胳膊，鼻子不是鼻子脸不是脸地哼了一声，嘴里嘟囔着：“搞什么鬼，这帮吊车尾也混进来了？踩狗屎运了吧。”
But Akamaru next to him whimpered uneasily and lowered his body, obviously afraid of the lingering aura of Team 7, especially Lin Feng and Sasuke who had just experienced a battle.
This guy Ya is tough on the outside but guilty on the inside.
“Tsk, this is so troublesome. There are a lot more competitors.”
Not far away, Shikamaru yawned, his eyes almost drooping to the ground, looking lazy and ready to fall asleep at any moment.
He expressed disdain on the surface, but in the depths of his always listless eyes, there was a sharp analytical gleam, which especially lingered for a moment on Lin Feng and Sasuke, and his brows frowned slightly.
Obviously, the status of Class 7 made him feel unusual.
Gaara of Sunagakure, like a Shura crawling out of hell, stood in the corner with a huge gourd on his back. His emotionless green eyes swept across the entire audience, finally fixing on Sasuke and Lin Feng.
That look was icy cold, and contained undisguised… desire.
It’s a thirst for blood and battle.
Kankuro and Temari stood behind him, also looking at Team 7 with serious expressions.
Lin Feng remained calm on the surface, but secretly activated [Whisper of the Wind God] in his heart.
The chakra fluctuations, strengths, attribute tendencies, and even some subtle emotional fluctuations of every person around him all flowed into his perception like a trickle.
Sure enough, none of the teams that could survive the Death Forest were easy to deal with.
Compared to before the exam began, the strength of these guys has improved visibly.
Fighting is indeed the best catalyst.
“Okay, you guys take a rest here first.”
Kakashi took Team 7 to the rest area near the wall, which belonged to the Konoha ninjas.
He pointed to the empty space next to him and casually said, “Put away the scroll first, stay alert, and don’t conflict with ninjas from other villages. I’ll go take care of the follow-up matters.”
After saying that, without waiting for Team 7 to respond, he used his signature teleportation technique with a “bang” and disappeared without a trace.
The four Genin, who had just experienced a great battle and were exhausted both physically and mentally, looked at each other in bewilderment.
“Great! We passed! I’m going to go talk to Ya and the others!”
Naruto was resurrected instantly, all his previous fatigue was swept away, and he was so excited that he wanted to rush out to show off to others.
“Get back here! Stupid Naruto!”
Sakura grabbed the back of his collar and pulled him back, saying angrily: “Treat your wound first! Recover your strength! Look at the state you are in now!”
She took out medical bandages and ointment from her ninja tool bag and began to treat Naruto’s skin injuries.
Sasuke completely ignored the noise around him.
He walked straight to the most remote corner, sat down against the cold wall, and slowly closed his eyes.
There was no expression on his pale face, but his tightly pursed lips and slightly trembling eyelids revealed his inner unrest.
The experience in the Death Forest, the fear and humiliation of encountering Orochimaru, and the battle with Kakashi (disguised) that almost left him with a psychological trauma…all of these kept replaying and settling in his mind.
He was digesting, reflecting, and accumulating stronger strength.
Lin Feng also found a relatively quiet place to sit down.
He was not completely immersed like Sasuke, but instead observed his surroundings vigilantly and began to count the harvest from this trip to the Forest of Death.
The lottery points and ability improvements awarded by the system are the biggest gains.
In addition, there is also the [Black Feather Standard Kunai] that is becoming more and more convenient to use, the [Night Owl Feather] seized from the Sound Ninja, and other miscellaneous spoils.
He thought about it and called up the system panel.
[Chakra level: Genin peak (close to Chunin)][Abilities: Basic Three Body Techniques (mastered), Wind Style Chakra Nature Change (mastered), Lightning Chakra Nature Change (beginner), Wind God Whisper (proficient), Swift Style Affinity (beginner), Wind Blade Enhancement (proficient), Wind Lightning Style·Explosive Impact (prototype)…][Items: Flying Thunder God Kunai (Special Mark) x3, Black Feather Standard Kunai x1, Knowledge Amplification Potion (1 use remaining), Strength Enhancement Potion (0 use remaining), Night Owl Feather x2…][Lottery points: 1600 points]Looking at the lottery points as high as 1,600, Lin Feng’s mouth curled up slightly.
I was almost killed by Kakashi teacher this time, but the reward was really good!
1600 points! Enough for a big wave!
In the upcoming third exam qualifier, the opponents will only be stronger and more difficult.
These points must be converted into real combat power as soon as possible!
Inside the tower, the atmosphere was oppressive and subtle.
The elite Genin from various ninja villages gathered together. The short break did not bring peace, but instead was like the calm before the storm, with an even stronger smell of gunpowder in the air.
Everyone is secretly observing potential opponents and assessing each other’s strength.
The preliminaries for the third exam may begin at any time.
A more brutal elimination is about to begin.
Chapter 134 Preliminary Selection Surrounded by Strong Enemies (Old Version)
Inside the central tower, the air seemed to freeze.
The short break did not bring any relaxation. Instead, it was like a taut bowstring, so oppressive that it made people feel breathless.
The cold stone walls extended upward and sank into the dim dome. Portraits of successive Hokage hung on the walls, gazing at the young but blood-stained Genin below with silent majesty.
Just then, the sound of footsteps broke the silence.
The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, wearing the Hokage’s divine robe and smoking his iconic pipe, appeared on the podium in the center of the hall, surrounded by a group of examiners.
His sharp eyes swept across the entire room, and every Genin who came into contact with his gaze straightened their backs unconsciously.
“Ahem…” Sarutobi Hiruzen cleared his throat. His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard throughout the hall.
“First of all, congratulations to everyone for successfully passing the rigorous second exam.”
“Chunin is the backbone of the village, shouldering the important task of protecting the village and carrying out difficult tasks. This exam is not only a test of your strength, but also a test of your will and awareness.” The old man’s voice was full of calm strength, which calmed the impetuous atmosphere a little.
Then, the special jonin Gekkou Hayate, who was standing next to the Sandaime, with a pale face and a constant coughing face, stepped forward.
“Cough… cough cough…” He covered his mouth and coughed a few times before continuing, “Because the number of candidates who passed the second exam far exceeded expectations.”
“In order to select the most elite ninjas to participate in the final official examination, ahem… after consultation between the Hokage and the examiners, it has been decided…”
“We will conduct the preliminaries for the third exam right here!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall exploded!
“What? We’re going to start now?”
“Preliminary match? One-on-one?”
“It’s too sudden!”
Moonlight Gale raised his hand to signal for silence, and continued to explain in his weak voice: “The rules of the preliminaries are very simple. Ahem… it will be a one-on-one elimination match.”
“The two teams will be randomly selected on the electronic screen. The winner will advance and the loser will be eliminated. Ahem… until the final number of candidates who are eligible to participate in the third formal exam in a month is determined.”
The rules are simple and crude, but also the most direct and effective.
Strength is the only pass!
As Moonlight Gale finished speaking, a huge electronic screen behind the platform lit up.
The names of countless candidates began to scroll rapidly on the screen, like a roulette wheel of fate, and every flash touched everyone’s heartstrings.
The atmosphere in the hall instantly became extremely tense.
Everyone stared at the screen intently, breathing cautiously, hoping to see their own names but also afraid of encountering a strong enemy they didn’t want to face.
Eyes crossed among the crowd, full of vigilance, temptation, and undisguised fighting spirit.
Lin Feng took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He quietly activated [Whisper of the Wind God], and the subtle chakra fluctuations and changes in air flow were like countless streams of information flowing into his perception.
Gaara of Sunagakure stood in the corner like a statue of the god of death. The chakra emanating from his body was cold and violent, like materialized murderous aura, which made people shudder.
Hyuga Neji, the genius of the Byakugan clan, has a calm and restrained aura, yet reveals an arrogance and self-confidence that keeps others at a distance, and his chakra is pure and condensed.
Obviously, Rock Lee, who was wearing a green tights, could not sense much chakra fluctuation, but his explosive muscle lines and burning eyes all showed the horror of his pure physical skills.
His gaze finally fell on the three strangely dressed guys in Otogakure Village.
Toss, the guy with bandages all over his face; Sack, whose hands seemed to have special modifications; and the long-haired woman, Jin.
The chakra fluctuations of these three people were cold and strange, with an extremely uncomfortable sense of evil, and were vaguely similar to the men of Orochimaru that they had encountered before.
“There is definitely something wrong with these guys.” Lin Feng thought to himself.
And there is that pharmacist Kabuto.
Wearing round-frame glasses, he looks gentle and harmless.
But he always glanced at Sasuke out of the corner of his eye inadvertently, and what was hidden deep in his eyes was definitely not what an ordinary Konoha Genin should have.
Orochimaru’s lackey! Lin Feng snorted in his heart, and his vigilance against this guy was raised to the highest level.
He approached Sasuke and Sakura calmly, lowered his voice, and spoke quickly in a volume that only the three of them could hear: “Pay attention to the gourd boy from Sunagakure, as well as Hyuga Neji and the boy with thick eyebrows. Also, the three from Otogakure and the bespectacled Kabuto Yakushi, they look very strange, stay away from them.”
Sasuke’s cold eyes swept over the people Lin Feng mentioned, nodded slightly, and clenched his fists.
After experiencing the events of the Forest of Death and Orochimaru, he remained extremely alert to any suspicious characters, especially those who might be related to that man.
Xiaoying also nodded solemnly, silently took note of Lin Feng’s words, and secretly increased her vigilance.
Just then—
The names scrolling rapidly on the screen suddenly stopped!
The two names appeared clearly and froze in the center of the screen.
[Uchiha Sasuke VS Akado Kai]Almost everyone’s eyes were instantly focused on Sasuke!
Sasuke’s eyes suddenly focused, and a cold fighting spirit appeared on his face, which always had no expression.
Akado Kai! Kabuto Yakushi’s teammate! The guy who is good at absorbing chakra!
Without any hesitation, he took a step forward and walked straight towards the competition venue in the center of the hall.
The back view looks lonely and resolute.
Lin Feng looked at Sasuke’s back, his thoughts racing.
The preliminaries have finally begun! The gears of the plot begin to click.
Next, there will be one tough battle after another, and there will be a conspiracy hidden behind the exam…
No, I must improve my strength as soon as possible!
Sasuke’s match began, giving him some precious time.
“System!” Lin Feng thought to himself, “Let me draw a lottery! Let’s try ten consecutive draws first!”
He must seize every opportunity to transform those 1,600 lottery points into a trump card that can deal with all the unexpected events that follow!
Chapter 135: The strength of the lottery is soaring (old version)
In the center of the field below, the sounds of battle explosions and the hissing of chakra collisions were endless.
Sasuke and Akado Kai fought each other.
Akado Kai’s strange chakra absorption ability did cause Sasuke a lot of trouble. After several close encounters, his chakra was sucked away by the opponent, and his offensive was blocked.
But Sasuke is an Uchiha!
The three-magatama Sharingan rotated at high speed, capturing every movement of Akado Kai and the flaws in the flow of chakra.
What is even more surprising is that Sasuke’s physical skills vaguely resemble the fierceness and swiftness of Rock Lee!
The battle in the Forest of Death was copied by him using the Sharingan and integrated into his own combat system.
“This guy learns things very quickly.” Lin Feng thought.
Chidu Kai gradually fell into a disadvantage and could only defend passively, looking in a miserable state.
On the second floor of the auditorium, Lin Feng stared closely at the battle below, and Sasuke’s performance made him nod secretly.
This guy is indeed a fighting genius.
However, now is not the time to focus entirely on others.
“Come on, Sasuke! Don’t lose to this kind of guy!” Naruto shouted loudly from the side, wishing he could rush down to help.
Sakura stared nervously as well, her hands clenched tightly together.
Lin Feng calmed his mind and sank his consciousness deep into his brain.
“Draw the lottery for me! Let’s do a big one! Let’s do a ten-draw first! I’ll use the 1,000 points I just got!”
Time is running out, the preliminaries have already begun, and who knows if I will be the next one. I must convert the points into combat power as soon as possible!
[System prompt: Received instruction, consume 1000 lottery points to draw ten times in a row… The lottery begins! ]The familiar virtual roulette appeared in Lin Feng’s consciousness space, larger and more gorgeous than any previous time!
The pointer spun wildly like an out-of-control gyroscope, bringing with it a brilliant display of light, and finally came to a slow stop amid a dazzling burst that was almost blinding!
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for receiving the following rewards:]A series of dense prompt sounds rang out like firecrackers!
[1. Chakra Refining Technique·Mastery: Greatly improves the efficiency of chakra refining and the upper limit of the total amount of chakra.]“Wow! The foundation has improved!” Lin Feng was delighted, feeling the obvious improvement in the speed and concentration of chakra in his body. The upper limit of the total amount was also visibly raised! The endurance ability took off! “I will never be worried about running out of chakra again!”
[2. Skills: Lightning Release: Chidori (incomplete): A-level Lightning Release thrust ninjutsu developed by Hatake Kakashi. It is extremely powerful, but has a high load on the body and requires the use of the Sharingan or extremely strong dynamic vision. (Currently an incomplete version, which can be completed through subsequent draws or self-realization)]“Fuck! Chidori?!” Lin Feng almost screamed out loud! This is Kakashi’s signature move! Although it is an incomplete version, its power and style are definitely a killer at this stage! Combined with his own lightning chakra, it is a perfect match! “Teacher Kakashi, I’m sorry, I’ll use your signature move first!”
[3. Items: Bingliang Pills*20: Special pills that quickly replenish physical strength and chakra. ]“Well, that’s good. The more consumables the better. They can save lives at critical moments.” Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction. “Prepare more. Maybe I can sell them to Naruto. This kid must be hungry all the time.”
[4. Skills: Medical Ninjutsu: Palm Immortal Technique (Entry Level): Basic medical ninjutsu that can speed up wound healing.]“Nurse skills? It would be good to learn one, so that I don’t have to trouble Sakura when I get hurt in the future.” Lin Feng touched his chin, knowing that it is always good to have many skills. “If Team 7 gets hurt in the future, I can also help heal them.”
[5. Attribute points: Constitution +5: Improves physical strength, endurance, and recovery speed. ]A warm current instantly surged through his body, and Lin Feng felt that his muscles, bones, skin and flesh had become tougher, and the fatigue and soreness left by the previous battle were relieved a lot! “Comfortable!” He couldn’t help but groan.
[6. Ninja Tool: Special Chakra Metal Wire*10m: Extremely tough, good conductivity, can be used to restrain the enemy or cooperate with Lightning Release Ninjutsu.]“Oh? This thing is interesting. It can be used in conjunction with Thunder Escape to create a lot of fun.” Lin Feng imagined the scene of using metal wire to conduct electricity and attack. “It can be used to ambush people!”
[7. Experience points: 1000 points. (Can be freely allocated to skills you have mastered)]“Experience baby! It can be used to add some to the skills I just acquired, or to strengthen the Wind and Thunder Escape!” Lin Feng rubbed his hands and began to think about how to distribute these experience points.
【8.Thank you for your patronage. 】
“…I knew I couldn’t do without you.” Lin Feng curled his lips. “Can you change your line? It’s always the same line, I’m tired of hearing it.”
[9. Skill fragments: Flying Thunder God Technique*1. (Collect the specified number to synthesize a complete skill)]“Fuck! Flying Thunder God Fragment!!!” Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat! This is the signature space-time ninjutsu of the second and fourth generations! The fastest ninja in the ninja world! Although it’s just a fragment, it means there is hope! This wave is worth it! A huge profit! “One day, I will learn Flying Thunder God and become the fastest man in the ninja world!”
[10. Bloodline Limit: Increased affinity for Swift Escape (slightly): Improves understanding and control of Swift Escape, further increasing speed.]“My swiftness has also improved!” Lin Feng could clearly feel that his understanding of the fusion of wind and lightning had deepened, and his body had become lighter, and his speed potential had been tapped again! “I will be able to run faster in the future!”
The ten-draw streak is over!
Lin Feng was so excited that he almost jumped up!
Chakra, core attack ninjutsu, auxiliary skills, physical fitness, special ninja tools, fragments of magical skills, and bloodline improvement!
This wave of rewards is an all-round epic enhancement!
He could clearly feel that the power in his body was undergoing earth-shaking changes!
The 1,000 points were spent in an instant, leaving only 600 points, but the sudden increase in strength he gained made Lin Feng feel that he had made a ton of money on this deal!
Feeling the surging power in his body and the various newly acquired ability information, Lin Feng clenched his fists and couldn’t help but smile.
The stress caused by the previous encounter with Kakashi (in disguise) and the worry about the subsequent exams were now largely relieved.
With this strength, whoever comes to the next qualifier will die!
His gaze returned to the field below. Sasuke’s battle was nearing its end. Akado Kai was knocked to the ground by a smooth combination of physical attacks and the final lion combo, unable to move.
“Beautiful! Well done, Sasuke!” Naruto cheered loudly, even happier than if he had won.
Sakura also breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face.
Moonlight Gale announced the result weakly.
“The winner is Uchiha Sasuke!”
Lin Feng’s eyes were sharp. Who would be the next?
Come on, I can’t wait!
Chapter 136 Companions show off their abilities (old version)
Lin Feng suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, sank his consciousness into the system space, and without hesitation, poured the precious 1,000 experience points accurately into the two skills he had just acquired.
[Wind Lightning Release: Explosive Impact (Prototype)] and [Lightning Release: Chidori (Incomplete)].
The skill icon flickered, and the proficiency bar suddenly jumped forward!
A clearer feeling came to my mind, the fusion of wind and thunder seemed to be smoother, and the shrill cries of thousands of birds seemed to have been condensed in the palm of my hand!
“very good!”
Lin Feng clenched his fists, feeling the more condensed and full chakra in his body, as well as the destructive power that was about to burst out.
At this moment, the battle below had come to an end.
“roar!”
Accompanied by a low roar, Sasuke’s figure drew a sharp arc in the air, and his knee hit Akado Kai’s abdomen hard!
【Lion Combo】!
Chido Kai flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, fell heavily to the ground, twitching all over, unable to get up again.
The dust has settled.
The whole audience was silent at first, and then burst into exclamations.
“He wins! Sasuke wins!”
“What a powerful taijutsu!”
Sasuke fell to the ground, his chest heaving violently, sweat soaking his forehead hair, his face was a little pale, but his three-magatama Sharingan was surprisingly bright.
He glanced coldly at his opponent on the ground, then turned and walked towards the audience.
A figure appeared in an instant and blocked his way.
It’s Kakashi.
He looked at Sasuke lazily, his single eye curved into a crescent shape: “Well done, Sasuke. Your physical skills have improved.”
The simple compliment made Sasuke’s tense body relax slightly.
He just said “hmm” and walked to the corner, continuing to close his eyes to recover his chakra and digest the insights from the battle just now.
The electronic screen on the platform began to scroll wildly again.
The name is fixed.
【Kankuro VS Ken Misumi】
The puppeteer with a weird face painting from Sand Village faced off against the guy from Otogakure Village whose body was as soft as if he had no bones.
“Hmph, let me play with you.” Kankuro grinned, and the bandage monster “Crow” behind him was already ready to move.
The battle started quickly and ended even faster.
Ken Misumi’s body, which could stretch and entwine freely, looked clumsy and ridiculous in front of Kankuro’s elusive puppet “Crow”.
Countless poisoned swords were shot out like a rainstorm, forcing Jian Meicheng to dodge in a panic.
Finally, Kankuro grinned grimly and controlled the “Crow” to advance at a tricky angle. The sharp mechanical blade instantly locked Ken Misumi’s joints, nailing her to the wall, unable to move.
“Hmph, it’s so vulnerable.” Kankuro took back the puppet and curled his lips, winning easily, demonstrating the weirdness and power of the Sand Village’s puppetry.
The next few matches were mostly uneventful, and some Genin who were obviously lacking in strength were quickly eliminated.
until–
The screen freezes again!
Two names that made everyone in Konoha, especially Team 7 and Team 10, feel nervous appeared!
[Haruno Sakura VS Yamanaka Ino]“What?!” Sakura and Ino exclaimed at the same time, looking at each other in disbelief.
The good sisters who were inseparable in the past parted ways because of their shared feelings for Sasuke. Now, they have to meet each other as opponents in this kind of occasion!
The atmosphere suddenly became subtle.
“Broad forehead, I didn’t expect to meet you here.” Ino lifted the golden hair in front of her forehead, her eyes complicated and with a hint of provocation.
“Same here, Inoboar!” Sakura clenched her fists and responded without showing any weakness.
The battle begins!
Both girls did not hold back, using physical skills, ninjutsu, and even “trash talk” attacks that only they understood, and the fight was extremely intense.
They know each other so well!
Every habit and every flaw is known to me.
The battle is not so much a competition of skills as it is a contest of willpower, a farewell to the past and a declaration of the future.
Finally, after a fierce fight, both of them ran out of chakra at the same time, and fell to the ground, staggering, gasping for breath.
“Damn it…it was so close…” Sakura pounded the ground unwillingly.
Ino looked at her, her eyes equally complicated, but with a hint of relief.
Moonlight Gale coughed and announced, “Both parties have lost their ability to fight and will be eliminated at the same time!”
Then, the screen scrolled again, and a name appeared that instantly ignited the atmosphere of the entire venue!
[Uzumaki Naruto VS Inuzuka Kiba]“Oooooh!” Akamaru shouted excitedly.
“Hahaha! Naruto! It’s finally our turn! Just wait and see how I beat you up this time!” Ya pointed at Naruto and laughed arrogantly.
“Stop talking nonsense! You’re defeated! I will definitely win this time!” Naruto rolled up his sleeves, his fighting spirit burning.
This pair of enemies who have been quarreling since Ninja School are finally going to compete in a formal arena!
The battle is about to begin!
The cooperation between Kiba and Akamaru was perfect. They used [Beastman Clone] and [Four-legged Technique] successively, greatly increasing their speed and strength.
“Try this! Teeth-to-teeth!”
Kiba and Akamaru turned into two high-speed rotating tornadoes and rushed towards Naruto with amazing momentum!
Naruto was caught off guard and was knocked away, looking very miserable.
“Damn it!” Naruto wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes became more determined, “I won’t lose!”
He relied on the Shadow Clone Technique to constantly harass and restrain, looking for opportunities to counterattack.
Ya became more and more impatient and his attacks became more fierce, at one point forcing Naruto into a dead end.
Just when everyone thought Naruto was going to lose, he thought quickly and used transformation techniques and… a sudden, extremely strong-smelling “secret weapon” to successfully interfere with Kiba’s sense of smell and judgment!
Taking advantage of the moment when Kiba and Akamaru were in confusion, Naruto punched Kiba in the face with a fist full of anger and determination!
“Ahhh!” Ya was hit so hard that he saw stars and fell to the ground.
“The winner is Uzumaki Naruto!”
The whole place was silent at first, and then burst into deafening cheers and laughter! Naruto, this guy, always wins in such unexpected ways!
Before the cheers died down, the atmosphere on the field suddenly turned cold.
[Hyuga Hinata VS Hyuga Neji]Both are members of the Hyuga clan, the branch family versus the main family!
Hinata looked at her cousin opposite her, whose eyes were cold and as insurmountable as a mountain. She was so nervous that she could hardly breathe, but Naruto’s victory just now gave her courage.
“Ning, Neji-nii-san… I, I want to prove myself too!”
“Hmph, trash is trash, and fate cannot be changed.” Neji’s eyes were indifferent, his Byakugan was open, and a strong sense of oppression emanated from his body.
The outcome of the battle was no surprise.
Hinata’s attack, mustering all her courage, was like child’s play in front of Neci’s exquisite soft fist.
Acupuncture and pulse cutting!
Neji showed no mercy, hitting Hinata’s vital points with every move, bang! bang! bang!
The dull sound of hitting continued, each time accompanied by Hinata’s painful groan.
Neji’s fingertips were extremely precise, like cold poisonous snakes, constantly pressing on the major acupoints around Hinata’s body, blocking the flow of her chakra and destroying her internal organs.
“See? This is the insurmountable gap between you and me! This is the fate of the branch family!” Neji’s voice was cold, without a trace of emotion.
Blood flowed from the corner of Hinata’s mouth, her vision began to blur, and her body was shaking, but her white eyes still looked at Neji stubbornly.
“No… that’s not it…”
“You’re still stubborn!” Neji’s eyes became fierce, and he delivered the final blow to Hinata’s heart!
Hinata was hit hard and spurted out a mouthful of blood. Her body fell down limply, her breath weak and her life in danger.
“Stop!” Several senior ninja examiners immediately rushed into the field and stopped Neci from launching a fatal attack. Medical ninjas also quickly stepped forward to rescue Hinata.
Ningji withdrew his hand indifferently and looked at his cousin lying in a pool of blood. His eyes did not fluctuate at all, as if he had just crushed an annoying bug to death.
His cold theory about fate and the powerful strength he displayed made many people present shudder.
The solemn atmosphere had not yet dissipated when the electronic screen lit up again, revealing two names that lifted everyone’s spirits!
[Rock Lee VS Gaara]Konoha’s expertise in taijutsu versus the Sand Village’s absolute defense!
The passionate young man in green tights faced the red-haired boy with a huge gourd on his back and eyes as empty as a devil!
“It’s finally my turn! Youth! Burn!” Xiao Li struck his signature pose, his eyes filled with a fiery fighting spirit.
Gaara walked slowly into the field, the sand flowing silently under his feet, his green eyes were emotionless, only filled with the desire to fight and kill.
Xiao Li’s figure disappeared instantly!
Fast! Extremely fast!
The pure speed of physical skills, leaving behind a series of afterimages, attacked Gaara fiercely!
However, no matter how fast his punches and kicks were, or how tricky the angles were, they would always be blocked by a layer of sand that suddenly appeared, making a dull collision sound.
Gaara didn’t even move when he stood there!
“Is this… absolute defense?” exclaimed the audience.
“Teacher Kai!” After a long time of unsuccessful attack, Xiao Li looked at Might Guy in the audience.
Kai gave a thumbs up, showing his shining teeth: “Sure, Lee!”
With permission, Xiao Li took a deep breath and suddenly pulled off the heavy weights on his legs!
Two huge iron blocks hit the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust and shaking the ground!
It’s hard to imagine him fighting with this thing on!
The next second, Xiao Li moved again!
This time, the speed was several times faster than before! It was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sand’s defense obviously can’t keep up!
For the first time, Xiao Li’s fist broke through the sand wall and hit Gaara’s cheek hard!
The whole audience was in an uproar!
For the first time, Gaara’s expressionless face showed a mixture of surprise, pain and… excitement!
“It’s not enough!” Xiao Li yelled, and the chakra around his body began to explode chaotically!
“Eight Gates of Ninjutsu! Open! Rest! Life! Injury! Closing! Open!”
Green chakra steam gushed out of his body like flames, his skin turned red, and his strength and speed increased to an alarming level!
[Outer Lotus]! [Inner Lotus]!
Xiao Li turned into a green lightning and caught Gaara in a violent attack!
The ground cracked and the air waves rolled!
Gaara’s sand armor shattered into pieces, and his body was hit hard again and again!
However, just when Xiao Li thought he had won and was about to launch the final attack——
Crash!
The gourd behind Gaara suddenly shattered, and more sand surged out like a tsunami, instantly condensing into a huge sand arm, which grabbed Xiao Li in mid-air with a speed and strength far exceeding before!
“Sand-bound coffin!”
A cold voice sounded.
The sand seemed to have life, quickly wrapping around Xiao Li’s left arm and left leg, and then suddenly tightening!
Snap!
The teeth-grinding sound of bones breaking could be clearly heard throughout the venue!
“Ahhhhhh!” Xiao Li let out a shrill scream and his body fell from the air.
It’s not over yet!
Gaara’s eyes were bloodthirsty and his five fingers were clenched.
“Sandstorm funeral!”
More sand rushed towards Xiao Li who had lost his ability to resist, as if to crush him completely!
“Stop!” Might Guy appeared in the field like a ghost, standing in front of Xiao Li and preventing the fatal attack.
Moonlight Gale announced with difficulty: “The winner is Gaara!”
The whole place was dead silent.
Gaara’s power and cold-bloodedness are like a shadow hanging over everyone’s heart.
Xiao Li’s miserable condition is even more shocking.
The atmosphere in the tower was extremely depressing.
At this moment, the screen scrolled again, and finally, a name that made Class 7’s hearts skip a beat appeared!
[Lin Feng VS Sack Stirrup]Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed, and a cold arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The scum of Otogakure Village, it’s finally my turn!
His opponent was none other than one of the three Otogakure members who had attacked them in the Forest of Death before, Zack Deng, who had special wind holes in his hands and could release destructive sound waves and wind escape!
“Heh, it’s you, kid.” Sack licked his lips, looked at Lin Feng viciously, opened his palms, revealing the black wind holes, “I let you run away last time, this time, I will blow you into pieces!”
Lin Feng moved his wrist, feeling the surging power in his body, his eyes as sharp as a knife.
“Yeah?”
“That depends on whether your bones are hard enough!”
The fateful showdown is about to take place!
Chapter 137: Thunderbolt Kill Lightning Strike (Old Version)
Lin Feng took a breath, then tapped the railing with his toes, and his body floated silently to the venue below like a weightless fallen leaf.
His feet touched the ground, raising only a barely visible cloud of dust. He stood still, raised his head, and looked at the other end of the field, where the Otogakure ninja Saku, with his hands in his pockets, was looking at him like a prey.
Sack pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that was a mixture of cruelty and arrogance. He slowly pulled out his hands, with his palms facing Lin Feng. The two dark holes looked like the eyes of some ominous creature. “Heh, Konoha’s kid, you’re so unlucky that you got to pick your grandfather in the first game!” Sack’s voice was dry and harsh, with a kind of morbid excitement. “Later, I’ll let you listen carefully to the masterpiece of my hands! The taste of the air-cutting wave, I guarantee you…” He deliberately prolonged his tone, “You won’t even leave a complete corpse!” He seemed to enjoy the pleasure brought by this intimidation, as if victory was already in his pocket.
In the audience, Naruto clenched his fists nervously: “Lin Feng! Be careful of that guy’s strange hand!” Sasuke was still leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, but his slightly trembling eyelids showed that he was not completely unconcerned.
On the high platform, Moonlight Gale raised his hand, his voice still weak, but full of routine: “The eleventh qualifying match, Lin Feng vs. Sack Stirrup… ahem… the match begins!”
As soon as the word “start” came out!
Sack couldn’t wait to launch an attack without any intention of testing!
“Die! Slash the Sky Wave!”
He pushed both palms forward suddenly, and the airflow in the holes in his palms was compressed rapidly, and two shock waves formed by distorted air were ejected instantly!
Woo——!
A sonic boom that was so sharp that it almost tore the eardrum suddenly sounded, and the violent airflow swept up the dust on the ground, like two invisible giant hammers, violently smashing towards Lin Feng’s position! The momentum was terrifying!
Lin Feng’s pupils shrank slightly.
The extraordinary speed granted by [Increased Affinity of Swift Escape] is fully demonstrated at this moment!
His body seemed to have broken free from the constraints of inertia, leaving behind only a rapidly dissipating blurry afterimage!
The two air-cutting waves almost brushed past the afterimage as they hit the hard wall behind, creating two shocking deep pits, with debris flying everywhere and smoke and dust filling the air!
“What?!” The hideous smile on Sack’s face froze instantly, and his pupils shrank sharply because of disbelief.
How is it possible?! His air-slashing wave is not only powerful, but also has an advantage in coverage and speed. How could this Konoha Genin… possibly dodge it?! He didn’t even see how the other party moved!
However, Lin Feng left him no room for shock or thinking!
At the same moment he dodged the attack, the chakra under his feet suddenly exploded!
It was not an ordinary teleportation technique, but a combination of the extreme lightness and explosive power brought by [Swift Escape]. His figure left a trajectory in the air that was almost impossible to trace with the naked eye, as if he had crossed the distance in space, and in an instant he appeared less than one meter in front of Sack!
quick!
It’s so fast that it’s suffocating!
The shock on Sack’s face instantly turned into extreme fear, and the chill of death poured over his body like ice water! He could even see Lin Feng’s calm eyes!
He subconsciously wanted to raise his arm and use his proud wind hole to blast away the enemy who was close to him!
But Lin Feng’s speed has completely exceeded the limits of his brain issuing commands and his body responding!
The blinding and dazzling lightning condensed and exploded on Lin Feng’s right hand without any warning!
The violent lightning chakra rotated and compressed at an astonishing speed, making a sharp and piercing sound, like thousands of birds screaming at the same time, making the eardrums of people nearby buzz! The surrounding air became hot and distorted because of the existence of high-intensity lightning chakra!
It was the signature ninjutsu that Kakashi was famous for that had just been extracted from the system!
[Lightning Release: Chidori (incomplete)]!
“Lightning Style: Chidori!”
Lin Feng spoke in a low voice, his tone was cold and without any emotion.
The right hand, which was wrapped in destructive lightning and seemed to have condensed all the sharpness in the world, turned into a lightning blade that tore through the darkness, and stabbed straightly, fiercely, and without any tricks at all towards Sack’s defenseless chest!
A dull, teeth-grinding sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh was heard!
The crude armor on Sack’s body, which was better than nothing, and his body that had been roughly transformed by the Otogakure Village, were as fragile as a piece of thin paper in front of the violent penetrating power of Chidori!
The palm, which was condensed with high-density lightning chakra, encountered almost no resistance and pierced through his chest cleanly and neatly!
The violent lightning energy instantly exploded in his body, like countless tiny electric snakes, madly tearing and destroying his meridians and organs!
The expression on Sack’s face was completely frozen, and his bulging eyes were filled with extreme fear, confusion, and disbelief. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to scream, but could only make a series of “ho ho” leaking sounds.
His body suddenly arched backwards, as if being hit hard by an invisible force, and his whole body twitched violently, blood mixed with internal organs continued to flow out of his mouth and nose. The whole person flew backwards like a broken sack!
The heavy body hit the distant wall hard, making a dull sound, and even made the wall shake slightly, leaving a human-shaped blood mark. Then, he slid to the ground softly, his head tilted, and he completely lost all sound. His body was still twitching slightly unconsciously, and it was obvious that he was not going to survive.
Flash sale!
Following Gaara’s overwhelming strength, here comes another extremely fast, clean and neat kill! And it’s even more bloody and direct!
The entire central tower once again fell into an eerie silence!
This time, there was not even the sound of whispering. The air seemed to be frozen and you could hear a pin drop!
Everyone’s eyes, whether they were Genin, Jonin examiners, or spies from various forces hiding in the dark, were all focused on the young man in the center of the venue who was slowly retracting his right hand. There were still traces of electric arcs on his right hand, making a slight crackling sound.
Shocked! Appalled! Unbelievable!
What speed was that just now?! Almost teleportation?!
And that ninjutsu with flashing lightning and terrifying sound, that terrifying power… Is this really a jutsu that a Genin can master? !
The second floor of the auditorium.
Kakashi’s exposed Sharingan was now wider than ever! He leaned forward slightly, staring at the lightning chakra in Lin Feng’s right hand that had not yet completely dissipated, his eyes filled with shock and confusion that could not be concealed, and even a sense of absurdity that he himself did not even notice.
“That’s… Chidori?! Impossible… Absolutely impossible! How could he…”
Kakashi was in a state of shock. He was 100% sure that he had never taught Lin Feng this A-level forbidden technique that required the use of the Sharingan or extremely high dynamic vision to control, and which was extremely stressful on his body! Where on earth did this kid learn this from? ! Could it be… stolen? But how could the activation principle of Chidori and the exquisite control of the changes in chakra properties be easily learned by stealing? !
Center of the venue.
Lin Feng retracted his right hand that had pierced through Sack’s chest, and shook it gently to get rid of the few drops of warm blood on his fingertips. He calmly glanced at the dead Otonagakure ninja in the corner, his eyes indifferent as if he was looking at an insignificant piece of trash.
He would never show any mercy to enemies who wanted to kill him.
Solved. Just now he was clamoring to blow himself into pieces, but now… well, he is indeed in pieces. Lin Feng complained silently in his heart.
At this moment, his name is Lin Feng.
Together with his astonishing speed that was comparable to lightning and could not be reacted to, as well as his extremely powerful, domineering, yet extremely familiar lightning-style stabbing ninjutsu, it was like a bolt from the blue, completely detonating the entire Chunin Exam preliminaries venue!
Everyone will remember this name, remember this Konoha Genin who looks ordinary and unremarkable, but bursts out with such terrifying power in an instant!
The battle was stunning and his fame rose rapidly!
Chapter 138: A Thousand Birds Shock the Audience (Old Version)
Dead silence.
Complete silence enveloped the entire tower.
Everyone’s breathing seemed to be strangled by an invisible hand, and their eyes were fixed on the young man in the center of the venue.
He slowly withdrew his right hand, and the electric arc remaining on his fingertips made a slight “crackling” sound, like the whisper of death.
A few drops of warm blood slid from his fingertips and were casually shaken off by him. His movements were so calm that it made people feel chilled.
In the corner, Sack Deng’s body was already cold. His twisted posture and the horrific penetrating wound on his chest silently told of the horror of the previous attack.
This was a clean, neat, and even somewhat cruel instant kill, and it was more visually impactful than Gaara’s previous sandstorm funeral!
On the high platform, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen paused slightly with his hand holding the pipe, and a sharp look flashed in his turbid old eyes.
He turned his head and whispered a few words to a masked ANBU behind him, his voice barely audible.
The Anbu bowed and accepted the order, then disappeared into the shadows like a ghost.
Next to him, Orochimaru, who was disguised as the Kazekage, showed deep interest and greed in his golden snake eyes without any concealment.
“Hehehe…what an interesting little kid…” He whispered in a voice that only he could hear, licking his lips with his scarlet tongue, as if he was looking at an extremely tempting collection, or…the perfect experimental material.
On the second floor of the auditorium, Kakashi’s figure appeared beside Lin Feng almost instantly.
His exposed Sharingan widened as he stared at Lin Feng’s right hand, which had not yet completely dissipated the Lightning Chakra, and his tone was filled with unbelievable shock and suppressed confusion.
“Lin Feng.”
His voice was a little dry.
“Where did you learn your Chidori?”
Here it comes.
Lin Feng was mentally prepared, but his face remained expressionless, and there was even a hint of “tiredness” and “confusion” from having just finished a battle.
He looked up at his mentor, his tone calm.
“Teacher Kakashi, this jutsu…”
He paused, formulating his words.
“It was in the Forest of Death when I saw you fighting that…’enemy’. I managed to memorize some of the chakra flows.”
“After I came back, I figured it out on my own and tried to imitate it. Unexpectedly, I actually managed to get something close to it.”
“The power is still poorly controlled. I was lucky to hit it just now.”
He put the blame firmly on Kakashi himself.
Kakashi frowned and observed Lin Feng’s expression carefully with his Sharingan, as if trying to find a flaw in it.
Lin Feng’s explanation sounds outrageous, but combined with this kid’s usual evil performance, and the fact that the Sharingan does have the ability to copy ninjutsu (although Lin Feng doesn’t have it), it seems… not completely impossible?
After all, he did use Chidori in that battle.
In the end, Kakashi did not ask any further questions. He just looked at Lin Feng deeply and warned him in a serious tone.
“Chidori puts a huge strain on the body and requires extremely strong dynamic vision. Otherwise, it will be a suicidal move that will take the enemy with it to death.”
“Don’t use it lightly before you fully master it.”
“Yes, teacher, I remember it.” Lin Feng nodded obediently.
“Lin Feng! You are too powerful!”
A noisy voice interrupted the conversation between the master and the disciple. Naruto rushed over like a small cannonball, hugged Lin Feng’s shoulders, his eyes shining frighteningly.
“That ‘crackling’ move just now was so cool! Teach me! Teach me!”
He was so excited that he danced with joy, not caring at all about the bloody scene that had just happened.
Sasuke also walked over silently and stood not far away.
He looked at Lin Feng with extremely serious eyes, full of intense scrutiny and… a hint of barely perceptible frustration.
This guy, whom he had always regarded as a potential competitor but never took seriously, was improving in strength at a speed that was almost beyond his reach!
This feeling made him very unhappy, and it also made his competitive spirit burn wildly.
Around them, the eyes of the other Konoha warriors looking at Lin Feng also changed completely.
Shock, awe, curiosity…all kinds of emotions mixed together.
Especially Xiao Li, who had just experienced a tragic defeat and was carried away for emergency treatment. If he was conscious at this moment, he would definitely stare at Lin Feng with his eyes burning with the flames of youth, shouting that he wanted to practice physical skills and… Lightning Escape?
On the other side of the stands, the two remaining people from the Yinyin Village – Toss Anvil and Jin Hammer, looked at Sack’s corpse with his eyes open, and then looked at Lin Feng with eyes full of deep resentment and cold murderous intent.
Pharmacist Kabuto stood behind them, gently pushing up the round-frame glasses on his nose. His eyes behind the lenses were dim and unclear. His fingers tapped lightly on the recording board, quickly updating the threat assessment of the target “Lin Feng”.
“Ahem…” Moonlight Gale’s voice drew everyone’s attention back to the competition field, “The winner is Lin Feng!”
After a brief commotion, the qualifying round continued.
Perhaps influenced by the previous fierce and even tragic battles, the remaining confrontations seemed somewhat calm.
Soon, all the games were over.
Finally, the candidates who successfully advanced and qualified for the third formal exam one month later were decided.
Konoha: Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, Lin Feng, Nara Shikamaru, Hyuga Neji.
Sand Village: Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara.
The Hidden Sound: Toss Anvil.
There are nine people in total.
Gekkou Hayate stood in the center of the field and announced, “The Chunin Exam preliminaries are now all over.”
“Congratulations to the nine candidates who passed the preliminary selection.”
“The third official exam will be held in a month at the newly built arena in Konoha Village.”
“This month is for you to rest and prepare. Make good use of this time to improve yourself.”
“Disband!”
[System prompt: Congratulations to the host for successfully advancing to the third round of the Chunin Exam! ][Complete hidden achievement: Stand out (show strength far beyond your peers on important occasions, attracting widespread attention)! ][Get reward: 500 lottery points! ][Current reputation value: Konoha (friendly), Sand Village (neutral), Otogakure (hostile)…]The system’s cold prompt sound rang in Lin Feng’s mind.
Got 500 points, not bad.
Lin Feng raised his head and clearly felt the gazes coming from all directions.
There was Naruto’s pure excitement and admiration.
There was Sasuke’s competitive scrutiny.
There is Kakashi-sensei’s relief and worry.
He has the unfathomable attention of the Third Hokage and the “Wind Shadow”.
There is also the resentment from the remnants of the Sound Ninja, as well as the spying and evaluations from those unknown forces hiding in the dark.
He knew that from the moment Chidori made his move just now, he was no longer the “ordinary” Genin who could develop in a low-key manner.
He was completely exposed in the spotlight and on the chessboard of some big shots.
The road ahead is destined not to be smooth.
but……
Lin Feng clenched his fists, feeling the increased power in his body due to [Chakra Refining Technique·Mastery], as well as the strong confidence brought by [Chidori] and [Swift Escape].
Challenge? Danger?
Couldn’t ask for more!
A month’s time?
That’s enough!
The corners of Lin Feng’s mouth curled up into an arc full of fighting spirit.
Whether it is to prepare for the upcoming formal exam or to prepare for the “Konoha Collapse Plan” that is very likely to break out.
This month, we must improve our strength to a higher level!
The development of [Wind Style: Rasenshuriken] should be put on the agenda!
The proficiency and power of [Lightning Release: Chidori] must also continue to improve!
And the fragments of the [Flying Thunder God Technique]…
One month later, I’ll show you what a real surprise is!
Chapter 139: The Rasengan is first created (old version)
In Konoha Village, the atmosphere after the preliminaries ended was as tense as a bow with a full string. The calm was only superficial, undercurrents were surging, suppressing a restless atmosphere, as if it would tear this brief tranquility apart at any time. Every Genin who successfully advanced was keenly aware of the tense atmosphere of impending storm. Apart from training, there seemed to be no better way to relieve this heavy pressure.
Kakashi took the initiative for once and wanted to give Lin Feng some special treatment, providing some “special tutoring for elite jonin” before the exam, but Lin Feng declined with a smile.
“Teacher, you know my situation is a bit special. The step-by-step training may not be very effective for me.” Lin Feng scratched the back of his head, his smile looking particularly innocent, trying to get away with it.
Kakashi’s exposed Sharingan narrowed slightly, his eyes were sharp, as if he could penetrate people’s hearts, and Lin Feng felt a little cold behind him. “Oh? Special?” He dragged out the ending tone, and his signature lazy voice was mixed with obvious inquiry.
Lin Feng gritted his teeth and chose his words carefully: “Well… it’s just… about how to become stronger, I have some… uh… more personal ideas, I want to try it myself.”
Kakashi stared at him for several seconds, so long that Lin Feng thought he was about to be exposed. Suddenly, he smiled, and that smile contained some understanding and a hint of barely perceptible indulgence. “Okay, geniuses always have their own little secrets. But take it easy, don’t ruin yourself.”
“Don’t worry, teacher! I promise to live up to my mission!” Lin Feng straightened his back and promised loudly as if he had received a special pardon.
Kakashi waved his hand, signaling him to leave. The stone in Lin Feng’s heart finally fell to the ground, and he slipped away like grease on his feet. He did have “personalized ideas” – holding on to the system’s thigh, what conventional guidance did he need? His goal was clear: Rasengan!
Of course, he didn’t want to practice by himself, but to “guide” Naruto in his practice, observe closely, and learn from him. This is the right way to perfect his [Wind Style: Rasenshuriken]. By the way, it can be regarded as a long-term investment with rich returns for the future Seventh Hokage.
“Naruto! Let’s go and practice!” Lin Feng found Naruto drooling over the menu in a remote corner of a ramen stall and grabbed him by the back of his collar without any hesitation.
“Hey?! Lin Feng?” Naruto was startled. He turned around and saw that it was Lin Feng. His face was full of disbelief. “What’s the wind blowing today? You actually took the initiative to find me to practice? You don’t have a fever, do you?” He reached out and wanted to touch Lin Feng’s forehead.
“Stop talking nonsense! I’m in a good mood today, I’ll take you flying!” Lin Feng was too lazy to explain to him, and dragged Naruto, who was still confused, and went straight to the exclusive training ground of Team 7 on the edge of the village.
In the training ground, Naruto was staring at a water ball with deep hatred. It was the first stage training tool left to him by the lecherous sage Jiraiya. “First stage, use chakra… to make the water in the water ball spin…” Naruto muttered to himself, rubbing the water ball clumsily with his palms, and his chakra was randomly output. Not only did the water ball not spin, but it was squeezed into a strange shape and was about to burst.
Lin Feng crossed his arms and watched for a while, but couldn’t help it. “Naruto, are you making balls or washing clothes?”
“Huh? What do you know! This is the special training of super powerful ninjutsu that the lecherous sage taught me!” Naruto immediately got angry and retorted dissatisfiedly.
“Special training? I think it’s ‘special torture water polo training’.” Lin Feng attacked mercilessly, “What’s the use of just using brute force? Can you use your stupid head?”
“It’s so easy for you to say that! Come and try it if you have the guts!” Naruto was provoked and angrily stuffed the water ball into Lin Feng’s hand.
Lin Feng took the water ball, weighed it, and smiled. He calmly held the water ball in his palm and slowly injected chakra into it. Buzz! Almost instantly, the water inside the water ball began to rotate at high speed as if being stirred by an invisible hand, forming a stable and clear vortex. The water splashed in all directions, but was restrained by a force inside the ball. The whole water ball was as stable as a high-speed spinning top.
Naruto opened his mouth so wide that an egg could fit in it, and his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets. “Wow! Lin Feng! You… you… how did you do that?! Did you learn it secretly?!”
“Learning by stealing? This is called a natural talent, understand?” Lin Feng proudly shook the water ball in his hand, then shook his wrist lightly, and the chakra output suddenly increased. The water ball exploded with a “bang”, but the splashing water stayed briefly on his fingertips, as if frozen, and then turned into water vapor and dissipated. “Look carefully, the key is not to rub it with brute force, but to feel the flow of chakra, guide it, and let it naturally form a rotating shape, just like this…” Lin Feng patiently explained, and transformed his understanding of the subtle control of chakra obtained through [Chakra Refining Technique·Mastery] into plain language that Naruto could barely understand. “Imagine that the chakra in your body is not a stagnant pool of water, but a rushing river. What you have to do is not to forcibly change the river course, but to follow the direction of the water flow, add a little force to it, let it gather in the palm of your hand, swirl, and finally burst out with amazing power!”
Naruto didn’t quite understand what he said, scratching his head. But when he saw Lin Feng’s relaxed look, he felt that it was indeed the truth. He picked up another water ball, took a deep breath, and imitated Lin Feng, closing his eyes, concentrating, and trying to feel the huge but difficult-to-control chakra in his body. This time, he didn’t try to use all his strength like before, but tried to guide and sort it out, so that the chakra could “flow” as Lin Feng said.
It was as if a miracle had happened. The water inside the water ball began to sway slightly, and then, tremblingly, it really began to rotate! Although the speed was very slow and the trajectory was very unstable, as if it would collapse at any time, it was indeed rotating!
“Wow! It worked! Lin Feng, look! It’s spinning! It’s really spinning!” Naruto was so excited that he jumped three feet high, waving his fists, his face flushed with excitement, like a child who finally got his favorite candy.
“Alright, alright, don’t be too happy too soon. This is just the beginning, just the first stage.” Lin Feng poured cold water on him in time to prevent him from getting cocky. “There will be more difficult things to come.”
The second stage was to break the rubber ball. The difficulty level skyrocketed. Naruto put on the rubber ball and rubbed and pressed it with all his strength, even biting it with his teeth (but was stopped in time by Lin Feng). His face turned red and beads of sweat dripped down. However, the poor rubber ball was not only ravaged beyond recognition, but also stubbornly remained intact.
“Damn it! Why! Why can’t it break!” Naruto sat down on the ground and pounded the ground madly.
Lin Feng stepped forward again, squatted down and looked at the panting Naruto. “Naruto, you still didn’t grasp the key. Spinning is just a ‘form change’. The real power of the Rasengan comes from the high concentration and instantaneous burst of chakra!”
“Explode? How to explode?” Naruto raised his head, looking confused, like a puppy who couldn’t find his way home.
“Imagine your chakra as a bundle of extremely powerful explosives,” Lin Feng counselled, while his eyes inconspicuously swept over the unstable but already initial chakra ball in Naruto’s palm. He secretly activated his own wind-attribute chakra, carefully sensing the flow details of it. “What you have to do is to compress this bundle of explosives continuously, and compress it to the extreme, and then, the moment it touches the target, bang, detonate it all!”
While “patiently guiding”, Lin Feng silently analyzed in his mind. What he wanted was not only to observe the changes in the form of the Rasengan, but more importantly to understand how this pure change in form could produce huge power without the addition of attributes. This is crucial to the development of [Wind Style Rasenshuriken]. How to stably integrate the unparalleled cutting power of the wind attribute into the high-speed rotating chakra sphere and prevent it from self-collapse before release, this is the difficulty of S-level ninjutsu. Observing the training process of Naruto, a genius of “chakra form change” (although he himself does not know it), is undoubtedly the best learning opportunity.
At this moment, the long-lost system prompt sound rang in my mind.
[System prompt: The host has further deepened his understanding of the changes in chakra forms by observing and guiding Uzumaki Naruto in practicing [Rasengan]. The development progress of [Wind Style: Rasenshuriken (unfinished)] has increased by 15%, and [Chakra Control Accuracy] has been slightly improved.]The system’s voice sounded like the sound of nature. Lin Feng couldn’t help but raise his lips slightly.
It works! It really works!
Keep going! We need Naruto to work harder!
Chapter 140: Night Practice of Forbidden Technique Wind and Thunder (Old Version)
Under Lin Feng’s careful guidance, which could be described as “cramming”, Naruto’s Rasengan training was like a rocket.
The seemingly indestructible rubber ball struggled for only two days before it broke with a dull “pop” sound after Naruto understood the trick of “compressing explosives and then detonating” from Lin Feng’s mouth.
Naruto looked at the chakra ball in his palm, which was not yet stable but could maintain a high-speed spherical rotation, and was so excited that he almost tore down the training ground.
Phase 3, achieved!
“Brother Lin Feng! You are my reborn parent! No, you are my god of cultivation!” Naruto rushed over with tears and snot, hugged Lin Feng’s thighs and refused to let go, “Any other tricks? Tell me now! Tell me now!”
The look of admiration was so fanatical that Lin Feng could hardly resist it.
“Ahem, keep a low profile, keep a low profile.” Lin Feng coughed twice and pulled his leg out calmly. “The trick is to practice more. Practice makes perfect. Understand?”
While he was dealing with the excited Naruto verbally, his own little calculations were going on in his mind.
During the past few days of sparring, he observed closely how Naruto, the “little genius of form-changing”, created the Rasengan from scratch, and gained a lot from it.
The development progress bar of [Wind Style: Rasenshuriken (Unfinished)] is rising rapidly.
During the day, he and Naruto sweated in the training ground of Team 7 (mainly Naruto sweating, while he was responsible for watching and “instructing”).
While Naruto was practicing the condensation and maintenance of the Rasengan, Lin Feng was carefully sensing every detail of the change in the pure form, corroborating it with the changes in the properties of his own wind-attribute chakra.
At night, when the moon is dark and the wind is strong, it is a good time to conduct “secret research”.
Lin Feng would find an absolutely secluded clearing in the woods and begin his own practice.
He had tried simply integrating wind-attribute chakra into the Rasengan to form a spiral shuriken.
The conclusion is: extremely difficult!
The high-speed rotating chakra sphere has a strong repulsion to external forces. Forcibly injecting the cutting force of wind attribute is like trying to install blades on a rotating barrel of explosives. The result is often that the chakra is out of control and the energy is disordered. Instead of hurting the enemy, you blow yourself half to death first.
The conclusion given by the system analysis is that with his current [Chakra Control] and understanding of the wind attribute, the success rate of forcibly developing the Rasenshuriken is less than 10%, and it is extremely dangerous.
As for [Lightning Release: Chidori], although it performed brilliantly in the preliminaries and killed Saku in seconds, Lin Feng was very clear about its limitations.
The suffix [Incomplete] is not just for show. It means that the power and stability are compromised. More importantly, this move consumes a lot of energy and the attack method is too simple, which is just a forward thrust.
When facing a real master, it is easy to be targeted.
“The wind is not working, the thunder has defects…” Lin Feng sat cross-legged in the open space, tapping his knees unconsciously with his fingers, his brain working rapidly.
“What if… we merge wind and thunder first?” An idea so bold as to be almost crazy popped into his mind.
Just like the simplified version of [Wind Lightning Release: Explosive Impact] that he used in a desperate situation, imitating the inspiration from the battle between Kakashi and Zabuza.
But that time, he roughly threw out the chakra balls of both attributes at once, seeking an instant burst.
Now, what he wants to do is to have more precise control.
The cutting and diffusion properties of wind and the penetration and paralysis properties of lightning are initially integrated into a controllable sphere.
Forming an… unstable but absolutely powerful “Wind and Thunder Pill”?
The risk is huge.
The wind helps the thunder, and the thunder causes the wind to whistle. Once these two violent energy attributes get out of control, the consequences will be disastrous.
But there was a gleam of excitement in Lin Feng’s eyes.
He has the analytical assistance provided by the system and the super control brought by [Chakra Refining Mastery] as a foundation.
How do you know it won’t work if you don’t try?
He took a deep breath, formed seals with his hands, and whispered, “The Wind God Whispers!”
The invisible wind spread out with him as the center, forming a warning circle with a radius of 100 meters. Any movement could not escape his perception.
After ensuring safety, Lin Feng slowly stretched out his hands.
In the palm of his left hand, light blue wind chakra began to gather, making a subtle sound of cutting air flow, and the surrounding air became sharper.
In the palm of his right hand, dazzling blue lightning chakra condensed, arcs of electricity jumped, and a “sizzling” sound was emitted, and a faint smell of ozone filled the air.
Lin Feng held his breath, his eyes focused to the extreme, and carefully moved his hands, which contained two different attributes of chakra, slowly closer.
One centimeter… half a centimeter…
Chichichi——!!!
Just before the two palms were about to touch, two chakras of completely opposite but equally violent natures suddenly erupted in a violent rejection reaction!
The cyan wind blades and blue electric arcs intertwined, collided, and annihilated each other crazily!
Visible energy shock waves suddenly erupted, making the surrounding leaves rustle!
Lin Feng groaned, quickly pulled back his hands, and dissipated the chakra in his palms.
There was a burning pain on the surface of my palm.
When he opened his palms, he saw they were covered in tiny burns and cuts, with blood oozing out.
The power of wind and thunder is indeed overbearing!
If it were an ordinary ninja, and he caused an explosion of this magnitude when trying fusion for the first time, his hands would probably be crippled.
But Lin Feng just frowned, thinking that it was just a minor injury, nothing more than a drizzle.
He calmly took out a [Bingliang Pill] from his ninja tool bag, put it in his mouth and chewed it.
A lot of physical strength was restored instantly.
Then, the green chakra light on the palm lit up, and the [Palm Fairy Technique] was activated!
It was visible to the naked eye that the tiny wounds healed quickly and the skin became smooth again, as if the explosion just now was just an illusion.
“Anything produced by the system must be of high quality. [Immortal Palm Technique] is truly a must-have medicine for home and travel.” Lin Feng silently praised in his heart.
After a short rest, he started trying again.
Adjust the output ratio of chakra.
Change the way wind and thunder chakra are fused.
Control the direction and speed of chakra rotation.
Failure after failure, accompanied by explosions and burns again and again.
Lin Feng is like a tireless scientific research madman. He constantly sums up his experience and adjusts parameters after repeated setbacks, and then devotes himself to the experiment again.
As the night deepened, the moon climbed above the treetops.
Just when Lin Feng was about to raze all the surrounding trees to the ground, a white figure wearing a funny toad mask was observing him with interest on the treetops not far away.
It was Jiraiya who had just finished his “collecting materials” mission and returned to the village.
He originally wanted to come and see if the stupid boy Naruto had made any progress in his Rasengan training, but unexpectedly he discovered something more interesting.
“Oh? That kid… is Lin Feng from Kakashi’s class?” Jiraiya scratched his head, and through the holes in the mask, his eyes fell on the young man in the open space below, whose body was charred black and who was still persevering in trying to fuse chakra.
“He’s actually trying to fuse wind and thunder attributes? Interesting…” Jiraiya said in amazement, “When did Kakashi accept such a monstrous disciple? His talent is not inferior to that brat (Sasuke).”
He could clearly feel that the chakra fluctuations emanating from Lin Feng were violent and energetic, far exceeding those of an ordinary Genin.
What surprised him even more was that this kid actually had a kind of… unyielding tenacity and a crazy experimental spirit.
“Well…he’s a good candidate.” Jiraiya touched his chin, and his evaluation of Lin Feng increased a little bit.
He did not show up to disturb Lin Feng’s “secret experiment”, but just leaned against the tree trunk with interest and continued to observe.
Fail, fail, and fail again.
Lin Feng’s body had been torn to pieces by the aftermath of the explosion, his hair had become burnt, and his face was covered in black ash, looking extremely disheveled.
But the light in his eyes grew brighter, and he showed no sign of backing down.
After countless failures, when Lin Feng carefully put his hands together again, a miracle happened!
This time, the moment the wind and thunder chakra came into contact, there was no immediate explosion. Instead, a strange sound was made, as if countless tiny electric currents were rubbing against each other.
In the center of his palm, a ball of light the size of a fingernail, interwoven with blue and green, began to slowly rotate.
Although the light flickered and looked like it could collapse at any time, it was indeed spinning!
Wind and thunder, beginning to merge!
[System prompt]: The host has successfully integrated the wind and thunder attribute chakra and created [Wind Thunder Pill (Extremely Unstable Prototype)], [Wind Style: Rasenshuriken (Incomplete)] comprehension progress +5%, [Lightning Style: Chidori (Incomplete)] comprehension progress +5%, [Chakra Control] slightly improved, and obtained 300 lottery points.
The system’s prompt sound is like the most beautiful piece of music.
Lin Feng felt the violent and dangerous energy ball in his palm, which also had a hint of harmonious rhythm, and a sincere smile appeared on his face.
Done!
Although it was only an extremely unstable prototype, it was still a long way from the real Wind and Thunder Escape.
But that’s enough!
He successfully took the first step, which is also the most crucial step!
This path of fusion may have more potential than simply developing Rasenshuriken or Chidori, and be more… interesting!
Chapter 141 Grandmaster’s Guidance (Old Version)
Another failed energy outburst.
Blue-green arcs mixed with sharp wind blades flew everywhere, blasting a new charred hole in the ground.
Lin Feng panted heavily, wiped the stains of sweat and black ash on his face, and looked at his slightly trembling hands covered with small scars.
This prototype of [Wind and Thunder Pill] is so damn hard to control!
As violent as a wild dog that has broken free from its leash, if one is not careful, the chakras will repel each other and then explode on the spot.
There were few good places left on the ground around here. It was full of potholes and a mess. The air was filled with a mixed smell of ozone and burnt grass.
But deep in his eyes, there was a burning excitement that was almost paranoid.
The harder it is, the more challenging it is!
Jiraiya, who was hiding in the dense tree canopy not far away, was amazed.
Is this kid made of iron?
If someone else had blown himself up like this dozens of times, he would have been lying on the ground foaming at the mouth.
His recovery speed and exquisite control over chakra, even when he was on the brink of failure, were far beyond the reach of ordinary Genin.
Interesting, really interesting.
Where on earth did Kakashi get such a precious treasure?
This tenacity, this desperate training method…
No, I have to go and try the quality myself.
As soon as the thought came to his mind, Jiraiya’s figure appeared silently behind Lin Feng like a ghost blending into the night.
There were no footsteps, no sound of wind.
Only a sense of chakra oppression as heavy as a mountain suddenly locked onto Lin Feng’s vital point at the back!
murderous look!
Lin Feng’s hair stood on end!
Almost at the moment he sensed the pressure, the [Whisper of the Wind God] warning circle he had set up sounded the strongest alarm!
Want to sneak attack me?
court death!
His body slid half a step to the left as if by reflex, narrowly avoiding the invisible center of pressure.
At the same time, his right hand reached into the ninja tool bag like lightning, pulled out a special kunai, turned his wrist, infused it with a faint but extremely sharp wind chakra, and without hesitation, stabbed in the direction of the breath behind him!
The whole action is smooth and fast to the extreme!
“oh?”
A light exclamation with a hint of surprise.
Jiraiya’s figure appeared, and facing Lin Feng’s fierce backhand stab, he just casually extended two fingers.
bite!
With incredible precision, his fingertips grasped the tip of the kunai infused with wind style chakra, and a gentle yet overwhelming force was transmitted along the kunai.
Lin Feng only felt a huge force surging, and his arm holding the kunai felt numb and sore. He stepped back several steps before he could barely steady himself.
“You reacted pretty quickly, kid. You’re on high alert.”
Jiraiya loosened his fingers and the kunai fell to the ground with a clang. He crossed his arms over his chest and looked Lin Feng up and down with his eyes that had seen a lot of things, with a playful smile on his face.
Lecherous Immortal?!
Lin Feng saw who was coming, his pupils shrank slightly, and his heart was shocked.
Why is this guy here?
Shouldn’t he be “collecting materials” or teaching Naruto?
That just now was definitely a test!
Lin Feng suppressed his suspicion and remained alert. He asked in a deep voice, “Senior, why are you visiting me so late at night? What advice do you have for me?”
“Hehehe…” Jiraiya laughed his signature laugh and pointed at the messy ground in front of Lin Feng, “You seem to be having a lot of fun here. Your technique of combining wind and thunder attributes is very bold and wild.”
He changed the subject and said with a warning tone: “But it is also very dangerous. If you don’t know the key points and just mess around, you might end up in hell one day.”
Chance!
Lin Feng’s heart was beating wildly, but his face immediately showed a respectful look of seeking advice: “I am stupid and have indeed reached a bottleneck. The power of wind and thunder is violent and difficult to tame. I am really unable to integrate it perfectly. I hope that the senior will not hesitate to teach me a thing or two!”
These are the three legendary ninjas, the masters of ninjutsu!
Just a few words of advice may be enough to help you avoid many detours.
“Guide? Not really, not really.” Jiraiya stroked his chin, looking unfathomable, “But, I can show you what the ultimate chakra transformation is.”
As he spoke, he slowly stretched out his right hand.
Chakra began to condense.
A blue ball of light appeared out of thin air in his palm and began to spin rapidly.
The rotation was extremely stable, without any energy leakage, as if a perfect cosmic body was evolving in the palm of one’s hand.
【Rasengan】!
Perfect Rasengan!
That pure rotation and that sense of power condensed to the extreme formed an extremely sharp and even cruel contrast with the [Wind and Thunder Ball (an extremely unstable prototype)] in Lin Feng’s palm that was about to explode out of control from time to time.
gap!
This is the master-level control!
Lin Feng’s eyes were fixed on the Rasengan in Jiraiya’s palm, his brain working rapidly, frantically comparing, analyzing, and verifying what he saw with his insights from observing Naruto’s training in the past few days, as well as his own experience of repeated failures.
That ultimate stability does not come from brute force suppression, but from a perfect guidance of the flow of chakra!
Just like taming a wild horse, you don’t lock it up with a chain, but follow its temperament, guide it, and eventually let it run willingly on the predetermined track!
suddenly see the light!
The fog that was blocking the brain seemed to be instantly dispelled by this perfect Rasengan!
[System prompt]: The host has observed the legendary ninja [Jiraiya] perform the perfect [Rasengan] at close range, and his understanding of the changes in chakra forms has been greatly deepened. The proficiency of [Fūraigaru (Extremely Unstable Prototype)] has been increased by 30%, and [Chakra Control] has been slightly improved!
“Hey.” Jiraiya clenched his hands, and the perfect Rasengan quietly dissipated without causing any ripples.
He looked at Lin Feng’s thoughtful expression, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: “How much you can understand depends on your own understanding. The fusion of wind and thunder cannot last long. The key is to find the balance point. Instead of blindly suppressing them by force, it is better to guide them and let them play by themselves.”
After saying that, without waiting for Lin Feng to reply, his figure flashed, just as strangely as when he appeared, and disappeared into the night again, leaving only a vague sentence: “Let’s go, kid, don’t really blow yourself up.”
Lin Feng stood there, quietly thinking about Jiraiya’s last few words and the shock of the Rasengan demonstration just now.
Balance point…guidance and dredging…
Countless fragments of inspiration quickly collide and combine in my brain.
It seems like I have grasped something key, but there is a layer of window paper between them, which requires a lot of practice to break through!
Take a deep breath.
Lin Feng stretched out his hands again.
The wind blows in the left hand and thunder roars in the right hand.
This time, he no longer tried to use his powerful mental strength to forcibly compress and fuse the two violent chakras as he did before.
Instead, he imitated the feeling when Jiraiya demonstrated the Rasengan and tried to “guide”.
Guide the wind attribute chakra to rotate around the lightning attribute chakra, guide the lightning attribute chakra to release energy under the wrapping of wind…
Chi chi chi… sizzle…
A ball of blue light appeared in his palm again.
Still unstable, the light flickered, and dangerous arcs of electricity and wind blades jumped around the edges.
But this time, it didn’t explode immediately!
It trembled and persisted, spinning, lasting longer than any previous attempt!
Although it was only a few seconds, it was already a huge breakthrough!
Lin Feng’s face finally revealed an expression of uncontrollable ecstasy.
The direction is right!
As long as we continue along this path, [Wind and Thunder Pill], and even the more powerful Wind and Thunder Escape Technique, will be just around the corner!
Chapter 142: Ka Palace gives new ideas (old version)
Jiraiya’s guidance was like an epiphany, giving Lin Feng a clear direction for the fusion of wind and thunder.
But he didn’t wallow in it.
The unstable prototype of [Wind and Thunder Pill] is expected to be powerful, but it is also like a time bomb and is extremely difficult to control.
If you want to use it as a reliable trump card in the upcoming Chunin Exam finals, it still needs to be polished.
And he has another trump card in his hand——【Lightning Release: Chidori (Incomplete)】.
The system’s cold label “incomplete” and the harsh condition of “needing to be combined with the Sharingan or extremely strong dynamic vision” reminded Lin Feng all the time that this trick was powerful, but also a pitfall.
The power is explosive enough, and the fact that it killed Sack in one second is proof of that.
However, the huge chakra consumption and the terrible burden on the body when thrusting made him feel frightened every time he used it.
Must improve! Or find a way to lighten the load!
With this thought in mind, Lin Feng found another training ground for Class 7.
In the distance, one could hear the shrill sound of birds chirping, as well as Kakashi’s lazy voice of instruction.
In the center of the training ground, Sasuke was kneeling on one knee, his right hand covered with violent blue electric light, his chakra flickering extremely unstably, obviously he was practicing Chidori.
Kakashi leaned against a tree, still holding the orange-covered “Intimate Paradise” in his hand. Without even raising his eyelids, he accurately instructed Sasuke’s chakra flow.
Seeing Lin Feng approaching, Kakashi finally took his eyes off the book, and a hint of surprise flashed in his one eye.
“Hey, Lin Feng?” He closed the book and stuffed it into his ninja tool bag. “Do you have something to talk to me about? Have you made any progress with your wind and thunder fusion technique?” His tone was casual, but it contained a curiosity that was hard to conceal.
That old guy Jiraiya must have tipped him off.
Lin Feng understood, and without beating around the bush, he got straight to the point: “Teacher Kakashi, I want to ask you a question about Chidori.”
He paused and organized his words: “In the preliminaries, I was lucky enough to imitate a little bit, but I feel that this technique… is powerful enough, but it is very awkward to control, and it puts a lot of pressure on the body. Is there any way to improve it, or make it less burdensome?”
Kakashi’s eyes suddenly became sharp, like a blade drawn from its sheath, and he stared at Lin Feng closely.
This kid is actually thinking about Chidori? And he even uses the word “fur”? The preliminaries were not as simple as fur!
He was silent for a few seconds, as if reassessing the disciple in front of him.
“Chidori is a technique I developed.” Kakashi’s voice became a little deeper, no longer lazy, “Its core is to activate the lightning chakra to the extreme, giving the user unparalleled speed and penetration. High power is naturally accompanied by high risks and huge chakra consumption.”
He glanced at Sasuke, who was still gritting his teeth and trying to stabilize the lightning in his hand. Sweat had already soaked the latter’s forehead.
“If you want to reduce the burden, there are only a few ways.” Kakashi raised his finger, “First, work hard to improve your own chakra control accuracy, so that every bit of chakra is used on the blade. Second, strengthen your body so that it can withstand high-speed impacts and the stimulation of lightning escape.”
He paused, as if he was considering his words, and finally said, “The third… is to undergo a morphological change.”
Form change?!
Lin Feng’s brain buzzed, as if an electric current was running through it! He immediately thought of the perfect Rasengan demonstrated by Jiraiya!
“Change of form? Teacher, you mean… changing its form like the Rasengan?” he asked anxiously.
Kakashi nodded approvingly: “The idea is similar, but the specific operation is completely different. Lightning Chakra is more violent and more difficult to control than simple chakra rotation.”
He stretched out his finger, and a faint arc of electricity emerged from his fingertips: “For example, you can stretch the condensed lightning to become a ‘Chidori Sharp Spear’ with stronger penetrating power and a longer attack distance. Or, try to evenly cover the whole body with lightning to form a defense and stimulation state similar to ‘Lightning Armor’… Of course, this is just a concept, and it is very, very difficult to achieve.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold system prompt sound suddenly rang in Lin Feng’s mind!
[System Prompt]: The host obtains key theoretical guidance on the advanced form change of [Lightning Release: Chidori] from [Hatake Kakashi]. The comprehension progress of [Lightning Release: Chidori (Incomplete)] is +10%, and the unlocked skill upgrade directions are: [Chidori Sharp Lance (Not Mastered)] and [Lightning Stimulation Activation (Concept)].
Here it comes! It is indeed like this!
Lin Feng was ecstatic. Kakashi’s words were simply golden advice that directly broke through the window paper!
He understood instantly!
Why did the system mark [Incomplete]? It was probably because the Chidori he imitated only concentrated high-intensity Lightning Chakra to thrust, without involving the subsequent form changes! This is the key to the complete Chidori or its derivatives!
At this moment, Sasuke’s suppressed growl came from the side.
The sound of birds chirping became even more piercing! The lightning on Sasuke’s right hand finally stabilized, forming a lightning ball that vibrated at high speed and exuded a destructive aura!
【Chidori】! It’s done!
But Sasuke’s face was extremely pale, and his right arm holding the Chidori was shaking violently. The chakra in his body was consumed rapidly, visibly to the naked eye, and it was obvious that he was struggling to maintain it.
Lin Feng’s gaze moved back and forth between the violent Chidori in Sasuke’s hand and his own empty hands.
A bolder, even whimsical idea suddenly popped into his mind!
The reason why [Wind and Thunder Pill] is unstable is that the two attributes of wind and thunder are difficult to perfectly balance, and the energy is violent and disordered.
The characteristic of [Chidori] is that it can highly concentrate the lightning chakra to form the ultimate penetrating power.
Then…if…
What if the extremely unstable mixed wind and thunder energy of [Fūraī Wan] no longer forced perfect internal fusion and rotation, but instead imitated the idea of ​​[Chidori]’s form change, guided and shaped it, and then burst out in a targeted and all-at-once manner like Chidori’s sharp spear, or in some specific form?
Use the form of thunder to wrap and guide the cutting of wind! Use the spread of wind to intensify the damage of thunder!
Isn’t this a whole new path?!
Kakashi looked at the ever-changing expression on Lin Feng’s face, from the initial request for advice, to the sudden realization, to the excitement and thought that almost burst out of his eyes at this moment, his heart, which had experienced countless storms, began to beat wildly again.
This kid’s comprehension… is simply outrageous!
I just mentioned the concept of morphological change. Could it be that he has already drawn inferences from it and thought of deeper applications?
Perfect Chidori independently? Or even… improve it?!
For the first time, Kakashi’s judgment wavered.
“Thank you for your guidance, Teacher Kakashi! I think I have some ideas!” Lin Feng bowed suddenly to express his gratitude, and the excitement in his tone was difficult to conceal.
After saying that, he turned around and ran, his movements so fast that he caused a gust of wind to run up. He looked so impatient, just like a child who had found a treasure.
He must go back immediately and start trying immediately!
Combine the characteristics of [Furaimaru] and [Chidori]!
Create a super move that is more powerful, more unpredictable, and more suitable for him, Lin Feng!
Kakashi stood there, watching Lin Feng’s disappearing back, then looked at Sasuke who was sitting on the ground and gasping for breath because of the depletion of chakra. He sighed helplessly and raised his hand to rub his forehead.
“It’s really… a bunch of monsters…”
Chapter 143 Wind and Thunder Sharp Spear Shuriken (Old Version)
With a direction, Lin Feng became excited.
Although the Lecherous Sage and Teacher Kakashi are one secretive and the other lazy, the advice they give is the top-notch solid stuff in the ninja world!
Practice! You must practice like crazy!
He no longer hesitated, his mind sank into the system space, and he directly used the [Constitution +5] attribute points he had won in the previous lottery.
A warm current instantly flowed through my limbs and bones, and the fatigue and muscle soreness caused by continuous high-intensity training were actually rapidly subsiding.
Every cell in the body becomes active, and strength, endurance, and even chakra recovery speed are visibly enhanced!
“Cool!”
Lin Feng clenched his fists and felt the surging power in his body. This feeling was even better than drinking ten cans of Red Bull!
With a stronger body as a backup, he is more confident in conducting the next “suicidal” experiment.
He took out a roll of thin filaments that shone with a metallic glow from his system backpack – [Specially made chakra metal wire].
This thing feels cold to the touch, but is extremely flexible and strong, and the system is marked with excellent conductivity.
It’s tailor-made for Thunder Escape!
Lin Feng took a deep breath and gathered the chakra of [Lightning Release: Chidori (Incomplete)] in his right hand.
Dazzling blue arcs of electricity danced in his palm, making sharp chirping sounds.
He carefully directed the violent lightning chakra to the end of the metal wire held in his left hand.
The metal wire was like an activated poisonous snake, instantly covered by violent blue electric arcs!
The entire silk thread turned into a crackling whip of lightning!
Lin Feng shook his wrist, and the metal ribbon infused with lightning was thrown out with a sound of breaking through the air!
A clear electric trail was drawn in the air, and the training dummy in the distance was instantly hit, exploding into a ball of charred sawdust!
The attack range is too far!
Flexibility, high!
This way of playing is exciting!
[System prompt]: The host has successfully combined [Lightning Release: Chidori (Incomplete)] with [Specialized Chakra Wire] and has initially mastered the application skills. [Lightning Release: Chidori (Incomplete)] proficiency +5.
The system’s prompt sounded at the right moment, confirming his thoughts.
But that’s not enough!
The metal wire is just an external object. The real core lies in the development of one’s own ninjutsu!
The [Chidori Sharp Spear] mentioned by Kakashi teacher!
Lin Feng put away the metal wire and condensed Chidori again.
This time, he was no longer satisfied with the violent ball of thunder in his palm, but tried to change its form according to Kakashi’s theory!
Compress! Extend!
Shape the violent lightning into a sharp spear!
Sizzle…Puff!
During the first attempt, the lightning just showed signs of extending but it instantly collapsed due to lack of control, and the escaped electric arc even made his arm numb.
“Fuck! This is so fucking difficult!”
Lin Feng shook his numb arms and cursed.
But the harder this thing is, the more excited he is!
Relying on the foundation of [Chakra Refining Technique·Mastery] granted by the system, as well as his newly improved physical fitness and mental perception, his control over chakra is far more accurate than that of ordinary people.
Failure again and again, adjustment again and again.
The shape of the lightning gun changed from being twisted and unstable at the beginning to gradually becoming solid, and its length also slowly extended from a few centimeters to more than ten centimeters and then several dozen centimeters.
The progress bar is rising slowly but steadily!
On the other hand, the development of [Feng Lei Wan] has not been left behind.
Jiraiya’s Rasengan demonstration gave him great inspiration.
Stable! Guide!
He no longer forced the two attributes of wind and thunder to achieve a perfect balance within him. That was too difficult and simply impossible at this stage.
He borrowed Chidori’s idea and tried to shape the external form of this extremely unstable mixed energy of wind and thunder!
What if… we shape it into a shuriken?
The wind provides cutting and rotation, and the thunder provides paralysis and explosion!
High-speed rotating wind and thunder shuriken!
As soon as this idea came up, Lin Feng put it into practice.
Left hand is wind, right hand is thunder.
This time, he no longer let them merge in his palms, but guided the two chakras to construct a high-speed rotating, shuriken-like energy structure between his hands!
Chichichi——BOOM!!!
Extremely dangerous!
The wind helps the thunder, and the thunder causes the wind to whistle!
When two already violent energies are combined in this way, their instability increases exponentially!
As soon as a vague prototype was constructed, the energy went completely out of control!
The blue-green energy ball suddenly exploded, and violent airflow mixed with electric arcs swept in all directions!
“Earth Escape: Earth Flow Wall!”
Lin Feng reacted quickly, and instantly formed seals with his hands and slapped the ground!
A thick earth wall rose from the ground, barely blocking the core shock wave of the explosion.
Even so, the earth wall was blown into pieces, and the residual power of the shock wave still blew Lin Feng several meters away, knocking him dizzy.
“Ahem… I got carried away…”
Lin Feng climbed up covered in dust and looked at the charred hole in front of him with lingering fear.
The power of this thing is more than one level stronger than the simple explosion of the prototype of Fenglei Pill!
But it’s too hard to control! It’s like playing with fire!
No, it’s playing with explosives!
But…it’s really powerful!
Lin Feng licked his cracked lips and his eyes became even more fanatical.
Gotta get it done!
In order to improve efficiency, Lin Feng gritted his teeth and directly used the [Experience Points] rewarded by the system.
Without hesitation, he invested part of his experience points into the invisible and intangible hidden attribute of [Chakra Control], and used the other part directly to improve his proficiency in the related skills of [Fūraimaru] and [Chidori].
Take drugs! You must take drugs!
[Bingliang Pills] Stuff them into your mouth like they are free, quickly recovering the consumed stamina and chakra.
He was like a madman, never sleeping, completely immersed in the frenzy of developing ninjutsu.
On the other side of the training ground.
Naruto was rubbing the Rasengan with sweat all over his forehead. The rubber ball kept deforming and spinning in his hands. Occasionally it succeeded in condensing, but it would quickly disintegrate.
Sasuke, who was not far away, was practicing Chidori over and over again. The shrill bird calls were endless. His face was pale, but he gritted his teeth and persisted.
When they saw the violent explosions coming from Lin Feng’s side from time to time, and the guy’s body was charred but he was still enjoying it, both of them were greatly stimulated.
“That guy… is simply risking his life!” Naruto exclaimed in amazement as he watched another small-scale explosion occur on Lin Feng’s side.
Sasuke didn’t say anything, but just clenched his fists. A hint of stubbornness flashed in his eyes, and he concentrated more on gathering the lightning in his hands.
Damn it! I can’t let that guy get too far behind me!
The entire Class 7 was filled with a silent yet fierce atmosphere of competition.
Kakashi would occasionally appear on the treetops at the edge of the training ground, silently observing the training of his three disciples.
When he saw that Lin Feng was actually trying out the Chidori Sharp Spear and was able to barely extend it for a certain distance, his dead fish eyes widened.
And when he saw Lin Feng using the chakra wire to perform the “Thunder Whip Technique”, as well as the prototype of the “Wind and Thunder Shuriken” that constantly tried to integrate wind and thunder to create terrifying explosions, Kakashi almost dropped the grass root in his mouth.
“What on earth is in this kid’s head?”
Kakashi rubbed his temples and for the first time began to doubt himself as a copy ninja. The thousands of ninjutsu he had stored away were not enough in the face of this kid’s endless stream of fantastic ideas.
“I, as a teacher… seem a little redundant?”
He sighed helplessly and disappeared quietly.
A few days later.
Lin Feng stood in the middle of the messy training ground, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly.
He stretched out his right hand and gathered his chakra.
A condensed blue lightning spear suddenly extended forward from his fingertips, maintaining a stable length of about half a meter, and the tip of the spear emitted dangerous electric light!
【Chidori Sharp Spear】, a first glimpse of the secret!
Then, he clasped his hands together, and the power of wind and thunder intertwined again.
Chichichichi…
This time, the blue-green energy ball was much more stable. Although it still emitted a dangerous aura, it was able to barely maintain a high-speed rotating, shuriken-like form!
He suddenly pushed the energy forward!
whoosh!
The prototype of the Wind Thunder Shuriken flew out of his hand, and although it flew less than ten meters before exploding due to energy loss, this meant that the advanced form of [Wind Thunder Pill] had also made a breakthrough!
The strength surges again!
Chapter 144: Wind Whispering Snake Shadow (Old Version)
There are less than three weeks left until the Chunin Exam finals.
Konoha Village was bathed in the early summer sunshine, people were coming and going on the streets, children were laughing and playing, everything seemed so peaceful and tranquil. But this was just an appearance, a thin disguise that could be punctured at any time.
At the edge of the training ground, Lin Feng sat cross-legged, his eyes closed, breathing slowly, as if he was in deep meditation. In fact, his mind was blending into the air flowing around him with unprecedented intensity.
[Wind God Whisper]! This is not a simple perception ninjutsu, but more like a resonance with the wind. The wind became his extended tentacles, carrying countless fragments of information into his consciousness. He could “hear” the friction of leaves in the distance, “smell” the aroma of barbecue on the street corner, and “feel” the temperature of the sun shining on the roof tiles. But at this moment, he was trying his best to filter out these useless noises and capture those deliberately hidden, discordant “notes”.
“…Yin…Shadi…According to plan…”
Here it comes! A few vague words, like ghost fragments, floated in on a barely perceptible air current. The voice was very low, mixed in with the sound of the wind and the hustle and bustle of the distant market. If it weren’t for the sensitivity of [Wind God Whisper] to abnormal fluctuations, it would be impossible to distinguish. But these words combined together revealed a chill.
Sound ninja? Sand ninja? Plan? Time to act? Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat. These scattered fragments quickly pieced together an unsettling outline in his mind.
He immediately expanded his perception range further, like an invisible net, carefully screening every corner of the village, especially those shadowy areas where sunlight could hardly reach.
Soon, he locked onto several chakra auras that were dormant like hibernating venomous snakes. They were very skilled in hiding, and their movements were extremely secretive. They perfectly avoided all the patrol routes and perception barriers, and moved quietly under the prosperous appearance of Konoha.
One of the chakras was the most unique and eye-catching. It was cold and sticky, with an evil feeling of desecrating life and playing with souls. Even from a distance, it made Lin Feng feel physically uncomfortable.
Orochimaru! There’s no mistake! Lin Feng’s eyelids couldn’t help twitching. Even if the other party used some advanced secret technique to try to conceal and disguise himself, the disgusting feeling that penetrated deep into his bones, he, a Naruto fan, would never admit it! That immortal madman, like a poisonous snake, had quietly sneaked into Konoha!
His perception tentacles turned and fell on another “familiar person” – Yakushi Kabuto. The silver-haired man with glasses who always had a gentle and harmless smile was now staying in the village’s archives room in a formal and orderly manner, concentrating on sorting a pile of scrolls. He looked like an ordinary diligent logistics staff.
But the information fed back by [Whisper of the Wind God] painted a different picture. Just about half an hour ago, Kabuto appeared in a remote alley in the west of the village where almost no one passed by, and had an extremely brief contact with a ninja with an equally strange aura, but completely unfamiliar. The contact time was so short that it was almost negligible. The two sides quickly exchanged a tiny scroll, then immediately separated and merged into the crowd. The whole process was as fast as lightning. If [Whisper of the Wind God] had not captured the slight abnormality of the air flow at that moment and the traces of the two chakras briefly intersecting and then quickly separating, I am afraid that even experienced Anbu would have difficulty detecting it.
Konoha’s collapse plan! These five words hit Lin Feng’s heart like a heavy hammer! Orochimaru sneaked in personally, and the spy Kabuto Yakushi began to pass on information. Coupled with the “sound”, “sand”, and “plan” heard before… There is no doubt that the huge conspiracy planned by Orochimaru to destroy Konoha has entered the countdown stage! The Sand Village secretly controlled by Orochimaru has probably been sharpening their knives for a long time, waiting for the best time of the Chunin Exam finals to attack!
No, he must tell the village leaders this information immediately! But he couldn’t reveal his trump card, [Whisper of the Wind God]. This ability was too special, too troublesome to explain, and would easily attract unnecessary prying eyes.
Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashed across his eyes, and then quickly retracted, returning to his usual state. He stood up, patted the grass debris on his pants, and walked quickly towards another training ground where Kakashi was in Team 7.
Lin Feng found the white-haired jonin who was still leaning against the tree trunk, holding the “Intimate Paradise” unshakably. He walked up to him, deliberately lowered his voice, and his expression was a little solemn: “Teacher Kakashi, I have something to report to you.”
“Hmm?” Kakashi raised his eyelids lazily and moved his eyes away from the pages of the book, seeming a little displeased at being disturbed.
“I’ve been feeling something is wrong in the village lately,” Lin Feng chose his words carefully, trying to make his discovery sound more like a ninja’s keen intuition rather than some supernatural ability. “I seem to ‘feel’ some very unfamiliar chakras, hidden very deep, and their movements are also suspicious and sneaky. And… I just overheard some words that seemed to mention the Sound Ninja and the Sand Ninja, and it seems that they are planning something bad.”
Kakashi paused for a moment while holding the book. The exposed Sharingan was no longer half-opened, but instantly became as sharp as a falcon, his eyes fixed on Lin Feng, as if he wanted to see through the truth behind his words. He knew his disciple well. Although he was a little eccentric, he never spoke nonsense when it came to serious matters.
“Strange chakra? Sound ninja? Sand ninja?” Kakashi’s voice became low, and his signature laziness disappeared without a trace. “Be more specific.”
Lin Feng calmed himself down and described what he had “sensed” through [Whisper of the Wind God] selectively, hiding the source of his ability. He emphasized the hidden nature and suspicious movements of the chakras, as well as the key words he had heard.
As Lin Feng continued his narration, Kakashi’s expression became more and more serious. After listening, he snapped the orange book shut and stuffed it into the ninja tool bag on his waist. “I understand.” His tone was unusually serious. “This matter is very serious. I will report it to the Hokage immediately. Lin Feng, you should also be more careful. The village may not be peaceful recently.”
Just as Kakashi finished speaking, Lin Feng’s [Wind God Whisper] once again captured an abnormal chakra fluctuation. A subtle but powerful chakra, like a cold mechanical probe, swept across from the height of a nearby building, briefly staying on himself and Sasuke who was practicing Chidori not far away, and then quickly disappeared.
This chakra carried a suppressed, almost emotionless coldness, exactly the same as the few times he had occasionally sensed a spying feeling before. Cold, deadly, and full of indifference to all living things.
Root! Shimura Danzo! This name flashed through Lin Feng’s mind instantly. He was almost certain that the old guy hiding in the deepest shadow of Konoha was also watching them in the dark like a venomous snake, especially Sasuke who had the Sharingan, and himself who showed amazing potential in the preliminaries.
Orochimaru, the venomous snake, is waiting in front for an opportunity to bite someone, while Danzo, the old fox, is watching covetously from behind… The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind? The waters of Konoha are muddier than imagined!
[System Prompt]: The host actively detected the key clues of the [Konoha Collapse Plan] through [Whisper of the Wind God], and perceived the potential threat of the [Root] organization, triggering the hidden mission [Undercurrent].
[Mission Requirements]: While ensuring your own safety, collect as much information as possible about the [Konoha Collapse Plan] and the movements of the [Root] organization, and be fully prepared to deal with the upcoming crisis.
[Mission Reward]: Comprehensive assessment based on the value of the intelligence and the contribution to the final crisis response (guaranteed reward: a large amount of experience points, advanced lottery ticket x1).
The system’s prompt sounded in his mind at the right time, but the cold text made Lin Feng feel that the pressure on his shoulders suddenly increased several times. Oh my god, this is exciting. Not only do I have to deal with the Chunin Exam in public, but I also have to deal with Orochimaru and Danzo in secret.
He exhaled, feeling the air become heavy. It seems that he must seize the last less than three weeks to completely master [Wind and Thunder Shuriken] and make it the strongest trump card in his hand! At the same time, the points and lottery opportunities accumulated in the system warehouse should also be planned carefully. He must prepare a few trump cards that can overturn the table at the critical moment, otherwise when the final plan is revealed, he will have no place to cry!
Chapter 145: Wind and Thunder Spear Shocks the Enemy (Old Version)
The night was as dark as ink, so thick that it seemed to be dripping. In the deep alley, there were only the sounds of Lin Feng’s own footsteps and the faint chirping of insects in the distance. The air was damp and slightly cool, a characteristic of after rain.
Lin Feng dragged his legs, which felt like they were filled with lead, and moved back home step by step. A whole day of extreme training had almost drained the last bit of chakra from his body, and the joints between his bones were clamoring with fatigue. Now his only thought was to quickly throw himself on the bed and sleep soundly.
Just as he turned the familiar corner and stepped into the depths of this remote alley with no pedestrians, a creepy and cold feeling crawled up his spine to the back of his head, as if he was being stared at by countless poisonous snakes!
The keen perception brought by [Whisper of the Wind God] sends out a sharp and piercing alarm in the brain!
Almost at the same time, several cold, sticky murderous intentions without any human emotions suddenly burst out from the shadows of the walls on both sides and from behind!
Fast! Faster than you can imagine!
A faint green light flashed in the air. It was the poisoned kunai and thousand blades. They tore through the night wind, and with a silent grin, they accurately blocked all his escape routes and went straight to the throat, heart, back of the head and all the vital points!
Damn it, [root]!
These sewer rats are really quick! Did that old pervert Danzo send someone to “find out the truth” or was he just impatient and wanted to “clean it up” directly?
Lin Feng’s heart instantly surged with anger, but his body’s reaction was calm and almost cruel. It was almost an instinctive reaction, and his body was one step faster than his mind!
I’ve been on guard against you bunch of shady bugs!
[Swift Escape Affinity] is instantly activated to the extreme!
His figure suddenly became blurred, like a shadow blending into the night. He twisted, slid sideways, and sank by a hair’s breadth, performing evasive maneuvers that were unimaginable for ordinary people.
Those deadly hidden weapons almost grazed the corners of his clothes and the ends of his hair and penetrated into the empty space, sinking deeply into the damp walls and the cold stone floor, leaving only a few barely audible muffled sounds.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Three figures wearing hideous animal masks slid out of the shadows silently like weightless ghosts. Their movements were swift and smooth, forming a perfect V-shape in an instant, locking Lin Feng in the center of the attack range.
Without a word of nonsense or any unnecessary movements, the cold killing machine instantly launched a second round of offensive!
One of them formed seals with both hands at an astonishing speed and pressed them hard on the ground! The seals were simple and efficient.
“Earth escape technique: beheading in the heart!”
The stone floor under Lin Feng’s feet suddenly lost its support and became as soft and sticky as a swamp. A huge, irresistible pulling force came from below, trying to drag him into the ground!
At the same time, another Root Ninja took a deep breath, his chest swelled, and then he opened his mouth and spit out several highly compressed, almost transparent air bombs with a shrill scream, blocking all possible movement space for Lin Feng’s upper body!
Blockade action! Compress space!
The cooperation is perfect!
The third Root Ninja was also the one closest to Lin Feng. He slid along the ground like a poisonous snake, with his body extremely low. The short knife in his hand, which reflected the cold moonlight, drew an extremely tricky and ruthless arc and pierced Lin Feng’s heart silently!
Murderous intent! This is the assassination technique of the root! With tacit cooperation, one link after another, not giving the target any breathing space!
If it were an ordinary Genin, or even a Chunin without any special skills, under this smooth combination of attacks, I’m afraid they wouldn’t even have time to think of their last words!
But Lin Feng is not an ordinary Genin!
“Want to trick me? You’re still a little naive!”
He let out a low roar, and the chakra under his feet exploded. The enormous force offset the suction of the earth escape technique. Instead of retreating, his body moved forward and suddenly rose from the ground, narrowly avoiding the fatal drag and the shooting of the vacuum jade.
At the same time, he completed the seal with one hand at a speed so fast that it was almost invisible!
The dazzling blue-white electric snake spread wildly along the wet ground like a madly growing spider web, with the spot where he had just landed as the center! The air was instantly filled with a pungent smell of ozone!
“Ugh!”
The Root Ninja who was trying to perform earth escape had no time to react and was hit directly by the violent electric current. His whole body twitched violently and he foamed at the mouth. His technique was instantly interrupted and half of his body was still stuck in the mud he had created. He was bouncing in vain like a fish out of water and had completely lost his combat effectiveness.
The other two Root Ninjas were also forced to jump back by the sudden large-scale Lightning Release, dodging the deadly arcs of electricity spreading from the ground. The originally seamless attack formation was instantly torn into a huge hole!
The Root Ninja holding the short knife had the fastest reaction and the most bizarre steps. Relying on the explosive power of the instant body technique, he avoided the electric current and approached again! The tip of the knife flickered with cold light, and it was less than half a meter away from Lin Feng’s heart!
“Die!” A hoarse, emotionless roar came from under the mask.
A fierce light flashed across Lin Feng’s eyes, and instead of retreating, he advanced!
He rushed towards the deadly blade, and in the palm of his left hand, a ball of energy suddenly condensed, with blue and green colors intertwined wildly and emitting an extremely dangerous aura! Electric arcs jumped on the surface of the ball, and wind blades appeared and disappeared, which was extremely unstable, as if it would explode at any time!
It was the [Wind and Thunder Pill] that was still in its embryonic stage, extremely powerful but difficult to control accurately!
“court death!”
Seeing that Lin Feng dared to use this immature technique with chaotic energy fluctuations to confront him head-on, the ninja raised a cruel and contemptuous arc at the corner of his mouth under the mask. In his opinion, this was tantamount to suicide.
The next second, the expression on his face, along with that cruel smile, completely froze.
Swish—boom!!!
The moment the Fengleiwan came into contact with the short sword, there was no stalemate or confrontation at all!
That extremely unstable energy, like a giant barrel of explosives that was instantly detonated, suddenly exploded with a terrifying force far beyond the gennin’s expectations! It wasn’t a collision, it was a devouring!
The violent wind blades cut the air like countless razors, and the raging electric snakes jumped crazily and bit everything around them! The short knife and the arm holding the knife were almost shattered by the blue energy torrent at the moment of contact!
The loud rumbling sound made the walls on both sides of the alley tremble! The Root Ninja didn’t even let out a complete scream. The whole person was hit in the chest by a battering ram and was blasted away by the violent torrent of energy!
The body twisted and deformed unnaturally in mid-air, blood and internal organs splattered everywhere, and hit the thick wall more than ten meters away heavily, making a dull sound that made people’s teeth ache and bones crack, and then slid to the ground like a puddle of mud, completely without a sound.
“!!!”
The pupils of the only remaining gen ninja suddenly shrank to the extreme, and even the mask could not hide the horror and disbelief in his eyes at this moment!
How is this possible?! Didn’t the intelligence say that this kid’s Wind Lightning Release was only a half-finished product? He couldn’t control it stably at all! This power… this explosive force… is simply outrageous! This is not a power that a Genin can master!
Lin Feng succeeded in his attack, and his blood surged throughout his body. He felt a sense of numbness in his left arm, but he did not give the opponent any chance to adjust or think!
Before the aftermath of the wind and thunder in his left hand dissipated, his right hand had already condensed another sharper, more concentrated and more dangerous force!
A blue lightning spear that was more than half a meter long and as condensed as a substance, with a piercing scream, suddenly shot out from his fingertips like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue!
[Chidori Sharp Spear] Prototype!
The speed was so fast that the electric light from the tip of the gun almost hurt the opponent’s eyes!
The remaining Root Ninja was terrified and tried desperately to dodge sideways, but the shock of witnessing his companion’s tragic death and the amazing speed of the Chidori Spear made him a step too slow!
Phew!
The lightning spear, with its burning breath and piercing sound, pierced his right arm with incredible precision! His flesh and blood were instantly scorched by the high temperature!
The burning smell quickly spread in the air.
“ah–!”
The suppressed scream of pain finally rang out. The gen ninja covered his bleeding, charred and smoking right arm and staggered back repeatedly, looking at Lin Feng with eyes filled with uncontrollable fear.
[System prompt]: The host was attacked by members of the [Root] organization, and successfully killed one person and seriously injured another, demonstrating strong combat ability and newly acquired skills. [Wind Thunder Pill (Extremely Unstable Prototype)] proficiency +20, [Chidori Sharp Spear (Not Mastered)] proficiency +15, and obtained 300 lottery points.
Finally, the Root ninja whose arm was pierced looked in horror at the pile of rotten flesh on the ground that was no longer in human form, then looked at his companion who was still twitching on the ground from time to time due to the electric shock and whose life or death was unknown, and finally his eyes fell on Lin Feng who was standing with a gun and his eyes were as cold as iron. Without hesitation, he made the choice that best conformed to the survival rules of the Root.
He bit his tongue hard, forcing the pain to suppress the injury and fear in his right arm. He quickly formed a few seals with his remaining left hand, and with a slight bang, he turned into a cloud of smoke. With the help of the body-flash technique, he escaped into the deeper darkness without looking back, and disappeared in a few flashes without even leaving a polite word.
Lin Feng stood still and did not chase after him. He might not be able to catch up even if he did, and who knew if there were other people in the dark.
The air still lingered with a faint smell of blood, ozone, and the unpleasant odor of burning tissue.
He lowered his head to look at the body of the Root ninja on the ground, which was blown into a horrible state by his own accident, and glanced at the unlucky guy who was electrocuted and still twitching slightly, his eyes cold.
Tsk, wasn’t that a bit too harsh? But when dealing with these rats who hide their heads and show their tails and don’t take human lives seriously, holding back would be the greatest cruelty to oneself.
Testing? This is probably just the beginning.
Danzo, you old dog hiding in the deepest part of Konoha, it seems that you have really set your sights on me, and you are more impatient than expected.
Lin Feng exhaled a breath of bloody air and felt the pressure on his shoulders become heavier.
It seems that we must seize the last bit of time. The water in Konoha is becoming more and more muddy and unfathomable.
Chapter 146: Surviving a Night Raid on the Root (Old Version)
The shadows in the alley clung to him as if they had life. It was not until Lin Feng slid sideways into his not-so-spacious rental house and locked the door with a “click” of his backhand that he finally leaned his back against the cold wooden door and exhaled a long, foul breath mixed with the smell of rust, burnt food and cold sweat with a barely perceptible tremor.
Every scene of the lightning-fast fight just now burned in my mind like a brand. The guys at the root were really as good as their reputation. They killed with every move, and they worked together like a cold killing machine without any unnecessary movements. If it weren’t for the trump card given by the system and the reaction speed far beyond that of ordinary people, there would probably be another nameless corpse on this cold floor tonight, and that corpse would definitely be my own.
He scanned the room vigilantly, making sure the doors and windows were intact and there were no signs of being spied on or infiltrated. He then dragged his tired body to the center of the room, crossed his legs, and sat down. His mind instantly sank into the system interface deep in his consciousness.
Kill one person, seriously injure another… The system settlement prompt is clear: reward 300 lottery points.
Add to that the scattered accumulation from before, and the money that he didn’t want to use after the last mission was completed… Lin Feng quickly counted the beads on the abacus in his mind. One, ten, hundred, thousand…
Holy shit! One thousand seven hundred points!
Staring at the faintly glowing number “1700” on the system panel, Lin Feng’s heart seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand, and then the war drum was beaten suddenly, thumping against his chest.
One thousand seven hundred points! That’s enough for a bold ten-draw streak! There’s even a lot of change left after the draw!
The “test” of the Root will not be the last, it will only get more and more fierce. And the crazy Orochimaru’s plan to collapse Konoha is a sword hanging over the entire village and his own head, which may fall at any time. Time is too tight, and there are invisible crises on all sides!
What is the most lacking now? It is strength! It is a hard-core trump card that can save your life in a desperate situation, or even have the ability to overturn the table!
Why are you still hesitating?
“System! Give me ten consecutive bets! Right now! Immediately! Immediately!” Lin Feng almost roared in his heart, with a determination to go all out, like a gambler who has lost all his chips and pushed all his chips to the center of the gambling table.
I must become stronger! I must become stronger! I must become strong enough to make sure that all those who dare to spy on me and stretch out their claws will not even have a chance to regret!
Buzz! The familiar lottery wheel appeared in the space of consciousness, shining brightly, spinning rapidly like a galaxy. Countless grids representing unknown rewards passed by in front of my eyes, so fast that only a blur of light and shadow remained.
Lin Feng subconsciously held his breath, his eyes widened and fixed on the flowing light.
Give me some good stuff! Give me some good stuff! Don’t do those fancy useless things!
A clear reminder sound rang out, the roulette wheel stopped suddenly, light condensed, and lines of text began to emerge.
Here it comes! My heart is in my throat!
[1. Skill fragment: Flying Thunder God Technique*2! Currently have 3/5 fragments. ]It was as if a thunderbolt exploded in his mind! Lin Feng felt his scalp go numb instantly!
Flying Thunder God! It was actually Flying Thunder God! And it came with two pieces!
Adding the one I got by luck earlier, I now have three-fifths of it! As long as I get two more pieces… I can master the space-time ninjutsu that was said to be developed by the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, which is powerful enough to dominate the ninja world and change the situation of war!
Escape skills! Surprise weapon! Show off… Ahem, the only way to show off your skills!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Lin Feng could clearly hear the roar of the blood rushing faster in his veins. He was so excited that he almost jumped up from the ground! Steady! Steady! This is the first one!
[2. Skills: Lightning Style: Chidori Style: Another form of Chidori, covering the entire body with lightning, which can be used for both attack and defense, greatly improving defense and reaction speed. (Requires powerful Lightning Style Chakra and control)]The second reward caused Lin Feng’s heartbeat, which had just calmed down a little, to go out of control again, and his pupils contracted violently and uncontrollably!
Chidori Style! Isn’t this a variation of the Lightning Chakra Mode developed by the late-stage Niruji? ! The violent penetrating power of Chidori is transformed into a lightning armor covering the entire body!
This is simply… simply a timely help! No, this is a tailor-made divine outfit!
His biggest headache now is the lack of effective defense means, and he is easily stretched in close combat. If it weren’t for the embryonic form of [Wind Thunder Pill], the consequences of the close-range short knife at the root would be disastrous. And Chidori Style perfectly makes up for this!
Attack and defense in one! It can also greatly improve reaction speed! With this, if you encounter the ghostly close-range assassination of the root, you will have the capital to fight head-on, instead of relying on bursts and dangerous dodges!
Cool! So cool!
[3. Items: Special Sealing Scrolls*3: Convenient scrolls that can seal ninjutsu, items, and even a small amount of chakra. ]Well, this is very practical. Whether it is to seal the spoils of war or to prepare some spells in advance, it can be used. Not bad, not bad.
[4. Attribute points: Spirit +5: Increases the upper limit of spiritual energy, illusion resistance, and perception ability. ]An indescribable cool feeling instantly permeated the entire brain, as if pouring a basin of cold water on the CPU that had heated up after running at high speed. The mental power that was originally a little disordered due to the fierce battle, excitement and fear quickly stabilized, and the speed of thinking seemed to be a little faster. Even the perception range of [Whisper of the Wind God] seemed to expand a little bit silently.
Mental attribute! Good stuff! In this world full of illusions, mental resistance is never too high! Improving perception is even better!
[5. Bloodline Limit: Boiling Release Affinity Improvement (Slight): Improves the understanding of the fusion of water and fire properties.]Boiling escape?
Lin Feng was slightly startled, and the image of the mature and charming Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi and her strong acid steam that could melt Susanoo immediately appeared in his mind.
Although it was only a “small” increase in affinity, it undoubtedly opened a new door for him! This means that he may be able to get his hands on this compound bloodline limit with amazing destructive power in the future!
Potential stocks! Write it down in your notebook first!
【6. Experience value: 1500 points.】
It’s a timely relief! I can use it to feed my newly acquired [Chidori Flow]! Let’s light it up first!
【7.Thank you for your patronage. 】
…I knew that your system with thick eyebrows and big eyes also had this kind of thing hidden in it. Lin Feng rolled his eyes silently and complained in his heart. It is a traditional skill to get this thing in ten consecutive draws.
[8. Ninja Tool: Flashbang*10: Strong light and loud noise can temporarily disrupt the enemy’s sight and hearing. ]A tactical item, a powerful weapon for ambushing enemies, especially in small-scale encounters. Keep it well.
[9. Special Item: Perceptual Ninja Experience (Incomplete): Records some training techniques and experiences of Perceptual Ninja.]This comes just in time! You can use it as a reference to improve your development and application skills of [Whisper of the Wind God], so that this magical skill can play a greater role.
[10. Secret Technique: Shadow Clone Technique·Proficiency: Improves the proficiency and stability of Shadow Clone, allowing more clones to be created with reduced consumption.]Shadow clone proficiency improved! This means that he can not only create more shadow clones that are less likely to be shattered by a single touch, but also the chakra consumed by each clone will be reduced accordingly!
This is simply a training accelerator and tactical multiplier! From now on, whether you use the shadow clone to assist in the training of ninjutsu, or to create chaos in battle and execute complex tactics, it will be more handy! The training efficiency will at least double!
After counting the ten rewards one by one, Lin Feng let out a long, satisfied sigh, his face filled with irrepressible ecstasy. The fatigue seemed to be diluted a lot by this huge harvest.
This time, the harvest from ten consecutive draws was explosive!
The progress of the Flying Thunder God fragments is encouraging, and they are about to be complete!
Obtained the long-desired offensive and defensive skill [Chidori Flow]!
Mental strength is strengthened, and perception and anti-illusion abilities are improved!
He also gained the potential of Boiling Escape, the enhancement of Shadow Clone, and a large amount of experience points that can be directly converted into combat power!
This wave of lotteries will undoubtedly bring about a qualitative leap in his overall strength!
“Root… Danzo… and Orochimaru…” Lin Feng slowly clenched his fists, feeling the renewed strength in his body and the sharper mental perception, his eyes flashing with a cold and sharp light.
Just wait for me!
Next time we meet, I will definitely give you a good “surprise”! I will let you know that some people cannot be easily tested or calculated!
Chapter 147: Wind and Thunder Intertwined New Killing Move (Old Version)
As soon as he returned to the house, Lin Feng didn’t even have time to catch his breath before his mind was impatiently immersed in the system.
One thousand seven hundred lottery points. I just spent one thousand on a ten-draw, and I have seven hundred left.
And the 1,500 experience points that came like a timely rain were now lying quietly on the panel, exuding the tempting atmosphere of “Come and use me”.
“System! Activate [Lightning Release: Chidori Style] for me!”
Lin Feng did not hesitate, and his thoughts were issued like actual orders.
More than half of the 1,500 experience points disappeared in an instant, turning into a huge torrent of information and a strange warm current of energy, pouring into his limbs and deep into his spirit.
The icon of [Lightning Release: Chidori Style] was instantly lit up, followed by a clear (Not yet introduced) sign.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Feng poured all the remaining experience points into it.
He sat cross-legged and began to mobilize the lightning chakra in his body according to the knowledge that emerged in his mind.
This is much more difficult than simply making a chidori ball!
Chidori Style requires that high-density, high-intensity lightning chakra be evenly and stably covered over the entire body, forming a flowing lightning coat with powerful offensive and defensive properties.
The control accuracy and total amount of chakra required by this thing is so abnormal!
If it was almost like that, it might not have covered the whole body, but instead it would have been electrotherapy for myself.
But Lin Feng is not afraid of anything!
He has the [Chakra Control] enhanced by the system, a [Physical Fitness] far superior to his peers, and the solid foundation laid by his previous practice of Chidori!
“Get up…for me!”
Lin Feng roared, and the lightning chakra in his body rushed out like a flood, following the unique route of Chidori Flow!
Sizzle—crackle—!
Dazzling blue-white arcs of electricity instantly exploded from his body, as if he was covered with a violently flashing lightning feather robe!
The air was filled with a strong smell of ozone, and fine electric currents jumped and ran on the surface of his skin, making dense and explosive sounds that made one’s teeth ache!
An unprecedented sense of powerful strength violently filled every corner of his body!
Every cell screams, trembles, and becomes activated excitedly under the stimulation of thunder and lightning!
[System prompt]: The host has started to practice [Lightning Style: Chidori Style], the progress is 10%…20%…35%…
Experience points are like fuel, which boosts your proficiency like crazy!
Lin Feng could clearly feel that his reaction speed, muscle strength, and even the speed at which nerve signals were transmitted had been incredibly enhanced under the coverage of this lightning armor!
This is not just defense!
This is a fucking all-around berserk buff! The buff is fully stacked!
He suddenly thought about it and tried to stand up and move around a little.
The body covered with Chidori Flow left a series of dazzling electric afterimages, and flashed from one end of the room to the other almost instantly!
This speed is more than one level faster than before when relying solely on [Swift Escape Affinity]!
And because the whole body is covered with irregularly pulsating electric current, the movement trajectory becomes more erratic and more difficult to capture!
“Good! So fast!”
Lin Feng couldn’t help but grin, revealing an excited smile.
He walked to the training corner, where a spare hardwood stake was placed.
The right fist covered with lightning swung out violently!
The violent lightning wrapped around the fist made a sharp hissing sound!
The hard wooden stake couldn’t offer any resistance at all and was directly blasted into flying fragments!
The fracture was charred black, with a faint sizzling arc still remaining, and it emitted the smell of burnt charcoal.
The strong paralyzing effect can be felt through the air!
“Oh my god! Awesome! This Chidori Style is a magical skill that combines both offense and defense!”
Lin Feng looked at his fist, feeling the power of thunder and lightning that had not yet completely dissipated, and his heart was burning with heat.
With this trick, who the hell would dare to assassinate me at close range in the future?
I’m going to fight you head-on in my lightning armor! Let’s see who turns into charcoal first!
Survivability and melee combat capabilities are maximized!
Although he was excited, Lin Feng’s thoughts did not stop.
The success of Chidori Ryu gave him new inspiration.
Since Lightning Chakra can cover the whole body, what about my unstable [Wind and Thunder Pill]?
Is it possible to change the way of thinking?
You don’t have to roll it into balls or shuriken!
Drawing on the experience of Chidori Ryu, would it be more stable if we could guide the two violent energies of wind and thunder to cover the arms and form a form similar to arm armor?
Just do it!
Lin Feng calmed down again and began to try to guide the Wind and Lightning Chakras. He no longer compressed and fused them forcefully in his palms, but let them cover his entire right arm in a relatively soothing yet tightly integrated way.
This process is more complicated than simply condensing the [Wind Thunder Pill] and requires higher control over chakra.
It is extremely difficult to make the cutting of wind and the violence of thunder amplify each other without losing control and exploding prematurely.
Chi chi… sizzle…
The green wind blade airflow and blue electric arcs intertwined, collided, and repelled each other on his right arm, making extremely unstable sounds.
Several times, the gun almost exploded and my arm was broken.
But Lin Feng relied on his improved mental strength and control, as well as a ruthless determination to refuse to admit defeat, to try again and again, making continuous fine-tuning.
Finally, after a sweaty mess and several failures, his right arm was successfully covered with a thin layer of energy that was intertwined and flashing in blue and green, and looked extremely dangerous!
Like a ferocious arm armor woven from strong wind and lightning!
[Wind and Thunder Arm Armor (Prototype)]!
Although the form is still very unstable and can only be maintained for a dozen seconds, the chakra consumption is also huge.
But this arm armor can be used not only for blocking and defense, but also can greatly increase the strength of the arm and the explosive power of attack!
Once it hits the target, the destructive power of the instantaneous explosion of wind and thunder power is definitely much more terrifying than the previous half-baked [Wind and Thunder Pill]!
[System prompt]: The host has successfully mastered [Lightning Style: Chidori Style (Beginner)], [Wind and Thunder Arm Guard (Prototype)] proficiency +25, [Chakra Control] slightly improved, and obtained 400 lottery points.
Feeling the surging chakra in his body and the sense of security brought by the two powerful new skills, Lin Feng couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Confidence! Unprecedented explosion!
The all-round amplification of Chidori Style and the terrifying destructive power of Wind and Thunder Arm Armor!
This is my trump card now!
Whether it’s the upcoming Chunin Exam finals, or the rats hiding in the gutter, or Orochimaru ready to make a move…
Come on! Come on!
The leap in strength made him feel hot all over, as if there was fire burning in his blood. He was extremely eager for a hearty battle to test his achievements!
At the same time, he glanced at the lonely [Flying Thunder God Technique*3/5] fragment progress bar in the system interface.
Almost there!
It feels like we are getting closer!
Chapter 148: Night Summoning for the First Test of Boiling Escape (Old Version)
Having just mastered two powerful new skills, Lin Feng’s excitement was still not over yet, so he sat cross-legged on the spot to experience it carefully.
The numb and powerful feeling brought by the Lightning Release: Chidori Style covering his entire body, as well as the violent destructive power contained in the prototype of the Wind and Thunder Arm Guard, greatly increased his sense of security. His eyes accidentally swept across the inconspicuous corner of the system panel – [Boiling Release Affinity Improvement (Slightly)].
Boiling Release, water plus fire, strong acid steam, it is Mei Terumi’s specialty, and its power is unquestionable.
Lin Feng’s mind moved. Although he mainly attacks wind and thunder, he does have water and fire attribute chakra in his body, but the amount is small and not compatible. Since the system has given this “tiny” improvement, even if it is just a tickle level, he has to give it a try, right? What if he is the one in a million genius with multiple bloodline limits?
He gathered his mind and carefully tried to mobilize the two unruly chakras in his body. The process was more difficult than expected. Water and fire seemed to be incompatible. As soon as they approached, they began to repel and collide with each other, trying to annihilate each other. His mental energy was consumed quickly, and sweat soon appeared on his forehead. Controlling them was a hundred times more difficult than controlling the fusion of wind and thunder.
He concentrated all his energy, his fingertips felt slightly hot, and he barely managed to squeeze the two weak energies together.
There was an almost inaudible sound.
A wisp of white smoke, as if it was there but not there, with a hint of warm water vapor, floated out from his fingertips, twisted in the air for a moment, and then completely dissipated.
And then… nothing happened.
Lin Feng stared at his fingertips, was silent for a moment, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
That’s it? With this little bit of heat, it would take years to heat up a bathhouse, right? Want to melt Susanoo? Just take a shower and go to bed.
Sure enough, “tiny” is really tiny, and I didn’t even touch the door. It seems that if I want to play advanced steam, I have to hope that the system will be powerful in the future or find another adventure.
“Okay, be realistic.” Lin Feng shook his head in self-mockery and gave up his unrealistic fantasy. A forced melon is not sweet. It would be a waste of precious training time to try to master the [Chidori Style] and [Wind and Thunder Arm Guard] now. It would be better to seize the time to thoroughly master the [Chidori Style] and [Wind and Thunder Arm Guard] to improve the real-time combat power.
Just as he was about to get up and summon his shadow clone to begin a new round of hard training, the [Wind God’s Whisper] perception network, which had been on alert, suddenly captured an unusual chakra fluctuation approaching his residence.
The chakra of the person who came was not weak, and his aura was relatively steady, but it was completely different from the cold, dead, and emotionless aura of the previous Root Ninja. This aura… was more like a living person, but with an indescribable fatigue and weakness.
Not an enemy?
Lin Feng paused, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickly restrained the aura that had just been released due to his practice. His muscles subconsciously tensed, and he put his ear close to the door, listening carefully.
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a knock on the door, not too fast but with a restrained politeness.
Lin Feng stood up and walked to the door. He did not open it immediately, but confirmed the breath of the person outside the door again. Yes, it was the familiar chakra that always gave off a sick feeling. He then reached out and opened the door.
The person standing outside the door was indeed Moonlight Gale.
He was wearing Konoha’s standard vest, and seemed even thinner than the last time he had seen him at the Chunin Exam preliminaries. His face was almost pale and bloodless, and the dark circles under his eyes were so heavy, as if he hadn’t slept for several days and nights. He exuded a kind of fatigue that seemed as if he would collapse at any time.
“Senior Hayate?” Lin Feng was indeed a little surprised. Why did this special jonin want to see him so late at night? “What do you want to talk to me about?”
He noticed that Senior Jifeng’s breathing was a little rapid, as if the journey he had just walked was a bit of a burden for him. The sickness that lingered around him was more obvious than before, almost visible to the naked eye.
Moonlight Gale looked up at Lin Feng. His eyes, which were always half-open and half-closed, were filled with deep fatigue. But now, they showed unusual scrutiny and solemnity. He habitually raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed twice, as if to calm his breath. Then he spoke in a slightly hoarse voice: “Lin Feng-kun, the Third Hokage wants to see you, now.”
The Third Hokage? Sarutobi Hiruzen? Now?
Lin Feng’s heart sank suddenly, and his brain started working rapidly.
Was it because of the Root’s sneak attack just now? He killed one and seriously injured another, which was quite a big commotion, so the Hokage couldn’t have been unaware of it. Was it because Danzo, that shady old man, complained first, and the Third Hokage came to hold him accountable? Or was it because of the strength he showed in the preliminaries and the counterattack just now, especially the new Lightning Release and Wind and Lightning Nature Changes he had mastered, that he finally attracted the official attention of this “Ninjutsu Professor”?
Summoning him late at night, this is not a good sign. Is this a warning? Is this a way to win him over? Or… something else?
Lin Feng’s face remained calm, but a hint of vigilance flashed in the depths of his eyes. He nodded without much hesitation, and said in a steady tone: “I understand. Please lead the way, senior.”
If it is a blessing, it is not a disaster. If it is a disaster, it is inevitable. Just go and see and you will know. In this world, if you retreat and escape blindly, you will only die faster.
The two walked one after the other on the quiet and deserted street in the middle of the night. The moonlight cast their shadows very long. The night wind brought the unique coolness of the night, blowing the branches and leaves of the trees on the roadside, making a rustling sound.
Lin Feng deliberately lagged behind Moonlight Gale by half a step. On the surface, his steps were relaxed, but in fact, the perception of [Whisper of the Wind God] had been elevated to the extreme. He was alert to possible prying eyes from all around, while also carefully observing Senior Gale who was leading the way in front.
He was keenly aware that there was a subtle stiffness and sluggishness in Senior Jifeng’s walking posture, especially after each cough, there would be a brief but obvious disorder in his breath, as if some difficult struggle was going on inside his body.
What made Lin Feng even more terrified was that, in his perception, in addition to Senior Jifeng’s own weak chakra, there was also an extremely weak, but extremely cold, corrosive chakra fluctuation lingering in his body. That fluctuation was like a lurking poisonous snake, firmly attached to the depths of his meridian system, slowly and firmly eroding his vitality bit by bit.
This feeling… is so familiar!
Lin Feng’s pupils suddenly contracted. He remembered that at the Chunin Exam venue, the leader of the Sand Village, Maki! Maki had a similar aura, although it was much stronger than that of Senior Hayate, but the cold and weird nature was exactly the same!
Could it be that… Senior Jifeng was also… ?
A terrifying guess flashed through his mind, involving the Konoha collapse plan and the conspiracy of Sand Village. But he immediately forced himself to calm down and temporarily suppressed this idea.
Now is not the time to delve into this. Senior Hayate’s condition is obviously not caused by one or two days. The most pressing thing right now is the upcoming meeting with the Third Hokage.
The lights in the top floor office of the Hokage Building in front of him were still bright, like an eye watching the whole village in the middle of the night. What was waiting for him? A crisis, or an unknown opportunity? Lin Feng adjusted his breathing, and his eyes became calm and sharp.
Chapter 149: The Three Generations’ Secret Order Contains a Hidden Crisis (Old Version)
It was late at night and the office on the top floor of the Hokage Building was brightly lit.
Lin Feng followed Moonlight Gale, and they stepped into the core of Konoha’s power one after the other.
There was a faint smell of tobacco in the air. Sarutobi Hiruzen sat behind a large desk, stroking his iconic pipe in his hand. His eyes were as calm as a pool of water, and he was quietly looking at Lin Feng who walked in.
The office was unusually quiet.
There were only three of them, and the atmosphere was indescribably solemn.
The moonlight breeze retreated silently to the side, like a ghost blending into the shadows.
Sarutobi Hiruzen finally put down his pipe. His eyes were still gentle, but they seemed to be able to penetrate people’s hearts, with the scrutiny of a superior. “Lin Feng, sit down.”
His voice was not loud, but it carried unquestionable authority.
Lin Feng sat down as he was told, his posture respectful, his back straight, his eyes clear and calm, he was the first to break the silence: “Hokage-sama summoned me late at night, is it because I didn’t do well enough?”
He took the initiative, his tone carrying a hint of the sharpness that is unique to young people.
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled, his expression softened a bit, “No, on the contrary, you did very well, even unexpectedly well.”
He paused, then changed the subject, “I have seen your performance in the Chunin Exams and your growth in recent times.
Especially the last match of the qualifiers, it was very exciting.”
“You are too kind, Hokage.”
Lin Feng showed humility at the right time and bowed slightly, “It is all thanks to Mr. Kakashi’s good teaching. I am just trying my best to help.”
He did not take the initiative to mention the Root’s night raid, wanting to see what the Third Hokage was up to.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at him deeply, seemed to admire his calmness, and nodded slowly, “Kakashi is indeed an excellent teacher.
However, your own efforts and talents are equally important.”
He paused, his eyes becoming dark, “I heard that you encountered some… troubles a few nights ago?”
It’s here as expected!
Lin Feng’s heart trembled, but he remained expressionless, knowing that the Hokage was indeed not deaf or blind, and knew everything that happened in the village.
The so-called “trouble” naturally refers to the temptation from those shady guys at the root.
“Yes, Hokage-sama.”
Lin Feng admitted frankly, his tone calm, as if he was talking about something insignificant, “Several unidentified ninjas attacked my disciple’s residence late at night, but I have repelled them.”
“repel?”
Sarutobi Hiruzen’s tone rose slightly, with a barely perceptible sense of oppression, “From what I know, the other party is not an ordinary thief.
Being able to escape unscathed from the hands of the Root Ninja, Lin Feng, it seems that your strength is even more hidden than I thought.”
There was a hint of tentativeness in his words, as well as a hint of appreciation.
Lin Feng laughed secretly in his heart, the old fox, is he finally going to show his true colors?
He still maintained a humble attitude, and said neither servile nor overbearingly: “My disciple was just lucky, and the other party seemed to be just testing him and not going all out.”
“Probing?”
Sarutobi Hiruzen’s eyes suddenly sharpened, a hint of anger flashed across his eyes, and his tone became colder, “Humph, what a ‘test’!
The inside of Konoha is not a monolithic entity…”
He sighed heavily, his tone filled with deep helplessness and fatigue, as if he was exhausted by the undercurrents within the village.
“I’m glad you’re okay.”
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Lin Feng again, his eyes were gentle again, but with a hint of complicated emotions, “Your strength has indeed exceeded the scope of ordinary Genin, and is even not weaker than some Chunin.
Especially the talent you displayed for Wind and Lightning Release, and the Lightning Release Ninjutsu that was similar to Chidori, both of which were very amazing.
Kakashi, that guy, was full of praise for you.”
“Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Kakashi.”
Lin Feng said modestly again, “My disciple is still in the exploratory stage, not yet mature, and still far from being a real strong man.”
“Don’t underestimate yourself.”
Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand and said in a gentle tone, “Being young and promising, full of vigor and energy is a good thing.
However, being too rigid can easily lead to breakage, and showing off one’s edge can easily cause unnecessary trouble.
You have to learn to be humble and keep your edge, so that you can go further.”
“Disciple will remember the teachings of Hokage-sama.”
Lin Feng responded respectfully, but sneered in his heart, hiding his strength and being simple?
It also depends on the person and the situation.
Hiding your strength from the enemy is seeking death!
Sarutobi Hiruzen changed the subject again, his tone becoming serious, “The Chunin Exam finals are approaching, but the village has been uneasy lately.
According to reliable intelligence, it seems that there are external forces trying to harm Konoha during the finals, and there may even be targeted sabotage actions. “
He stared at Lin Feng with burning eyes and said solemnly, “You have sharp perception and strong strength. You are the best among Genin.
I hope that in the finals, in addition to striving for good results, you will also pay more attention to abnormal situations inside and outside the stadium, and report immediately if you find anything suspicious. “
This is a direct commission from the Hokage!
And it’s a secret commission!
Lin Feng’s heart was shocked, and he immediately stood up, with a solemn expression, and bowed deeply to Sarutobi Hiruzen, his voice sonorous and powerful, “Yes! Master Hokage! Disciple obeys your command!
I, Lin Feng, will do my best to protect Konoha’s safety!”
“【System Prompt】: The host has accepted the secret commission from the 【Third Hokage】 to participate in protecting Konoha. The content of the 【Undercurrent】 mission has been updated and the mission rewards have been increased.
Gained initial trust from Konoha’s top brass, and slightly increased [Reputation]. “
The system prompt sounded at the perfect moment.
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction, a hint of relief on his old face, “Very good, I knew you wouldn’t let me down.
Remember, protect yourself, the village needs young people like you.”
He encouraged Lin Feng a few more times, and his words hinted that he would pay attention to his safety and warn those who were ready to make trouble, so that he could feel at ease.
After leaving the Hokage’s office and walking in the empty and quiet corridor, Lin Feng’s mood did not feel much relieved, but even heavier.
The summons and commission from the Hokage meant that he had been drawn into a game at a higher level.
Beneath the seemingly calm surface of Konoha, undercurrents are surging and dangers are lurking everywhere.
He thought of the abnormal state of Moonlight Gale, combined with the cold chakra he had sensed before, and then recalled the memory of Moonlight Gale’s death in his previous life, as well as the aura on Maki’s body…
A bold and terrifying guess gradually took shape in his mind.
Senior Hayate has probably discovered the conspiracy of Sunagakure and Otogakure. His situation is extremely dangerous!
Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed, and he quickened his pace, walking towards home.
The final is approaching and he doesn’t have much time left.
In addition to seizing every opportunity to practice and improve his strength, he also had to find a way to secretly remind or help Moonlight Gale.
Perhaps, it can change his fate of being killed by Maki, and also retain an important fighting force for Konoha!
Chapter 150: Storm is Coming (Old Version)
There are only a few days left for the Chunin Exam finals.
In the streets and alleys of Konoha Village, the air was filled with a restless heat wave, mixed with the aroma of barbecue and the smell of dust raised by the training ground.
Anticipation, excitement, and a hint of subtle nervousness quietly spread among the crowd, and even the ramen shop’s business improved a bit.
Children chased and played on the rooftops, shouting “Rasengan” and “Chidori”, imitating the moves of the Genin in the preliminaries, and they enjoyed it even if they got bruised and swollen. Adults gathered in groups of three or five in izakayas or teahouses, discussing the upcoming finals, placing worthless bets, and guessing who would stand out and become the new Chunin that everyone was looking forward to.
Finally, as countless people craned their necks in wait, there was a commotion in front of the bulletin board at the door of the Hokage’s office, and a brand new notice was neatly posted by an Anbu ninja – the list of opponents for the finals and the detailed rules!
The venue for the finals was set at the huge arena in the center of the village that could accommodate tens of thousands of people. Not only would the daimyo and nobles of the Land of Fire be present, but it was also said that important figures and ninja representatives from the other four major nations would gather to watch this grand event that represented the new generation of Konoha and also contained the meaning of the wrestling of various countries.
Countless eyes instantly focused on the thin piece of paper. After a brief silence, the noise erupted from the crowd that almost overturned the bulletin board!
Finals match list:
First match: Uzumaki Naruto vs. Hyuga Neji!
Second game: Uchiha Sasuke vs. Gaara!
The third game: Lin Feng vs Nara Shikamaru!
Game 4: Temari vs. Toss Anvil!
“Wow! I’m the one in the first match!” Naruto almost jumped up before he saw his name clearly. His golden hair stood on end, his cheeks flushed with excitement, and he waved his fists and shouted, “My opponent is that white-eyed bastard Neji! Great! Watch how I beat him up and avenge Hinata! Let him know that a loser can also defeat a genius!” His unconcealed fighting spirit and determination to stand up for his companions attracted good-natured laughter and cheers from many villagers around him.
Hinata, who was not far away, had flushed cheeks, twisted her fingers nervously together, and whispered to encourage Naruto.
Sasuke glanced at the list coldly, his eyes lingering on Gaara’s name for a moment. The boy from the Sand Village, carrying a huge gourd on his back, exuded a heart-pounding smell of blood and an ominous aura. Just standing there made people shudder. Sasuke’s mouth curled up slightly, and deep in his black pupils, three magatama rotated silently, reflecting a cold fighting spirit. Very good, I will use you to test the results of my training for this month! The road to revenge requires a stronger force to pave the way!
“Eh? My opponent is Shikamaru?” Lin Feng looked at his name and Nara Shikamaru together, his expression was a little strange. The guy who always said “so much trouble” and looked like he could fall asleep at any time? This luck… is it good or bad?
However, Lin Feng did not dare to underestimate him. In the preliminaries, Shikamaru used the shadow imitation technique to easily control his opponent. That guy’s brain was definitely faster than most people’s ninjutsu, and it was very sinister.
“Tsk, I really drew a ‘good fortune’.” Lin Feng touched his chin, but his eyes became serious. A wise general? Let’s see, is your trouble-averse brain faster, or is my fist faster and harder! You’d better not force me to use new tricks.
Temari’s confrontation with the Sound Ninja Toss Anvil also attracted a lot of attention. The eldest princess of the Sand Village, a powerful wind-style ninjutsu user, faced off against the Sound Ninja who relied on sound to launch strange attacks. The outcome was unpredictable.
As soon as the list was announced, the entire Konoha was in an uproar, as if something was thrown into boiling water!
A fateful duel (Naruto vs. Neji)! A clash of geniuses (Sasuke vs. Gaara)! A battle of monsters (Sasuke vs. Gaara)! A dark horse counterattack (Lin Feng)! A game of wits (Lin Feng vs. Shikamaru)!
Every matchup was full of highlights and gimmicks. All kinds of analysis, speculation, and bets instantly filled every corner of the village, and people’s expectations were instantly pushed to the peak. It was as if a grand celebration was about to begin.
However, amidst the noise and excitement, Lin Feng’s [Whisper of the Wind God] perception network captured more and more discordant noises, like nails scratching on glass, subtle but harsh.
The undercurrent hidden beneath the calm water surface was even more turbulent and turbulent than he had previously expected!
The chakra fluctuations of the Sound Ninja and Sand Village have become unusually active in recent days, and their movements have become more secretive. They are no longer sporadic attempts, but are organized and purposeful. They are like a group of well-trained venomous snakes, lurking and moving silently around the arena and in various hidden corners of the village, as if they are carrying out some large-scale, ulterior arrangements.
The air was filled with a depressing feeling as if a storm was about to come, which formed an eerie contrast with the bustle on the streets.
What made Lin Feng’s heart more alarmed was the cold, sticky, disgusting smell of decay and evil – Orochimaru! His chakra fluctuations were clearer and more active than any previous time he had sensed, like a maggot on the tarsal bone, looming in the shadows near the arena, and the undisguised malice was almost condensed into substance!
Who is the target? The answer is self-evident! It is definitely Sasuke! The last descendant of the Uchiha who he regards as the perfect “vessel” and has been cursed with the Heaven’s Seal!
The Third Hokage’s earnest words that night echoed in my ears again. Protect Konoha and keep an eye out for any anomalies.
Lin Feng’s nerves were instantly stretched to the extreme, and his back muscles tightened subconsciously.
At this moment, a thought flashed through his mind. Gekkou Hayate! The senior who always coughed and was weak, but had special jonin strength and keen insight. When he left the Hokage’s office, he sensed the cold chakra wrapped around Hayate… It was so similar to the aura on Maki!
Lin Feng immediately concentrated his mind, and the perception range of [Wind God’s Whisper] expanded instantly, like an invisible spider web, carefully searching for the familiar and faint breath.
Found it! On the edge of the village, in a very remote abandoned training ground close to the outer wall!
But the next second, Lin Feng’s face changed suddenly!
Senior Hayate’s chakra became extremely weak, like a candle in the wind, flickering and possibly extinguished at any time! Moreover, his position was fixed there, motionless! It was as if the breath of life was fading away quickly!
This is definitely not normal! A special jonin would never appear in such a place for no reason, and his aura would be so weak!
A strong feeling of uneasiness, like a cold tide, instantly flooded Lin Feng’s heart, making his hands and feet feel cold!
Could it be… that I am still a step too late? !
The plot in the memory of the previous life, in which Gekkou Gale overheard the conspiracy of Sand Village and Otogakure and was ambushed and silenced by Maki, did it finally happen?
No! It’s not certain yet! As long as there’s still breath, there’s still hope!
Lin Feng’s eyes suddenly became sharp, and he no longer cared about the surrounding noise and the upcoming game. His figure flashed, and the chakra under his feet burst out. The whole person turned into a blurred afterimage, and like an arrow, he rushed towards the direction where the faint breath of Senior Jifeng was sensed!
The night before the final.
The wind is howling and the grass and trees look like enemies.
The huge conspiracy was like a gaping bloody mouth, silently looming over the seemingly prosperous and bustling Konoha.
The cheers and shouts from the upcoming arena formed a sharp and ironic contrast with the murderous intentions lurking in the dark night.
Lin Feng knew that he had to race against time.
Not only for the sake of Moonlight Gale who might still be struggling on the brink of life and death, but also to stop the impending disaster that could shake the foundation of the entire Konoha! We must find him before he dies! Maybe we can get key information!
