Naruto Infinite Lottery System
Chapter 1 Oh My God, I’m a Little Brat
Sizzle—severe pain and a burning smell were Lin Feng’s last memories, and his consciousness was instantly swallowed by darkness.
I don’t know how long it took, it was as if I was sinking in warm water, blurry light and sounds came intermittently.
He struggled hard and finally opened his heavy eyelids, and what came into view was an unfamiliar wooden ceiling.
There was a new smell of tatami at the tip of my nose, a mixture of sunshine and the fragrance of grass. It smelled a bit pleasant, but completely unfamiliar.
“Hiss…” Lin Feng subconsciously tried to move, but he had no strength at all. What was even more strange was that his body felt wrong. He looked down and saw a pair of children’s hands.
He sat up suddenly, his muscles being pulled painfully. He looked around and saw that it was a typical Japanese-style room, not big, with a low table, a few cushions, and light coming through the paper sliding door.
He glanced at a scroll hanging on the wall with a pattern of red circles and white swirls painted on the bottom.
“This… is the symbol of Konoha Village?” Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat, and an unreliable idea popped up in his mind. He used his hands and feet to crawl to the mirror in the corner.
In the mirror was a little boy with black hair and black eyes, who looked to be about five or six years old, with a round face and a confused look in his eyes.
“Damn! Did it really get through? And it got smaller?” Lin Feng pinched his cheeks hard, and it hurt a lot, so it seemed like it wasn’t a dream. Staying up late to watch Naruto, did he see into it?
“Ding! The abnormal soul fluctuation is detected and is highly compatible with the current body, meeting the binding conditions… The infinite lottery system begins to activate…”
A cold mechanical sound suddenly rang in his mind, interrupting Lin Feng’s confused thoughts.
“Energy source scanning…binding host: Lin Feng…binding successful!”
A translucent frame appeared in front of Lin Feng, with two options on it: [Lottery] and [Task]. There was also a line of small words at the bottom: Current Energy Points: 0.
“System? The golden finger that is necessary for traveling through time?” Lin Feng’s breathing quickened. The confusion just now was immediately diluted by this surprise. “Oh my God, it’s finally reliable for once!”
“Ding! It is detected that the host is activated for the first time. The system will give you a novice gift package. Do you want to open it immediately?”
“Open! Open now!” Lin Feng kept shouting in his heart, afraid that it would run away.
A gift package icon on the panel flashed, then turned into a light dot and disappeared.
“Congratulations to the host for obtaining [Basic Three Body Techniques Mastery], [Free Lottery Draw * 1].”
As soon as he finished speaking, a lot of things about how to use transformation techniques, substitution techniques, clone techniques, how to make hand seals, and how to control chakra were stuffed into Lin Feng’s mind, as if he already knew them.
“Good stuff!” Lin Feng became excited, his eyes fixed on the [Lottery] option, “There’s still one free chance! Come on, give me something good!”
An idea struck him, and he pressed the [Lottery] button.
A large wheel spun in front of his eyes, all gridded, flashing white and golden light, making him dizzy. [Sharingan], [Wood Release Bloodline], [Sage Body]… Lin Feng’s heart started beating fast just by looking at the names.
Lin Feng muttered to himself, let’s do something powerful!
A roulette wheel spun rapidly before my eyes, and the light in the grid was dazzling.
Lin Feng held his breath and watched. The pointer slowed down, swaying past a few golden names, and finally stopped on an ordinary white square.
“Ding! I won the [Introduction to Chakra Refining Technique].”
The smile on Lin Feng’s face froze for a moment. “A beginner?”
The corners of his mouth twitched. He looked at the names on the roulette wheel that once made his blood boil dim, and his heart felt like it was scratched by a cat. “I thought I could just draw a Rasengan, Chidori, or something… Even a C-rank ninjutsu would be fine.”
But on second thought, he didn’t even know how to refine chakra now, so he wouldn’t be able to use an S-level forbidden technique. The refining technique was the most basic.
“Okay, it’s better to have something than nothing.” Lin Feng patted his cheek and cheered up.
He calmed down and began to feel the child’s body. Although it was a little short, its hands and feet were flexible and it was healthy. He walked to the yard, recalled the extra things in his mind, and tried to make a few hand seals.
“Transformation Technique!”
There was a soft “bang” sound, a puff of white smoke came out, and there appeared a teacup with… a strange shape on the ground?
Lin Feng looked at the twisted thing on the ground that could barely be seen as a teacup, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help twitching, “Is this mastery? System, do you have any misunderstandings about mastery?”
But he immediately felt that the smoothness of the seal and the mobilization of the weak energy in his body were indeed effortless, the only problem was in the shaping.
He calmed himself down, carefully recalled the knowledge in his mind, and formed seals again.
“Bang!”
The smoke cleared, and a standard Konoha forehead guard appeared in its place.
“Well, it seems that what matters is mastering the process, but the result still depends on one’s own control.” Lin Feng thought thoughtfully.
“Substitution technique!” He quickly formed a seal, and his figure flashed, leaving a piece of wood where it was.
“Clone Technique!”
“Bang! Bang!” There were two more clones similar to him beside him. They looked a little weak, but they were indeed separated.
“What the system gives is different.” Lin Feng nodded, feeling a lot more at ease.
The paper door was gently opened, and a woman in a simple kimono poked her head in, with a worried look on her face: “Xiaofeng, are you feeling better? You got caught in the rain yesterday, don’t get sick.”
Lin Feng’s mind flashed through some fragmented images, and he knew that this was the mother of this body, an ordinary woman. He quickly put away his thoughts, imitated the child in his memory, and smiled: “Mom, I’m fine, much better.”
The woman was relieved and walked over to touch his forehead. “It’s good that you don’t have a fever. Come in quickly. It’s windy outside.”
Over the next few days, Lin Feng carefully pretended to be a child while talking to his cheap mother. He also looked around and slowly figured out where he was and what the situation was.
His family is indeed an ordinary family in Konoha Village. His father seems to be doing some small business in the village and goes out early and comes back late.
This world was similar to the Naruto he knew. Ninjas were very powerful and could use incredible skills, but they were also dangerous and they might not be able to come back one day.
Occasionally you can see ninjas wearing green vests running on the street. Their eyes are sharp and their steps are quick. There always seems to be an indescribable tension in the air.
Strength is so important in this place.
“You can’t just muddle through like this.”
Lin Feng clenched his fists, and a light flashed in his eyes that was not appropriate for his age.
“With the help of the system, I have to live a decent life!”
He made up his mind: enter the ninja school, become a ninja, and then rely on the system lottery to become stronger step by step! In this place, human life is worthless, only if you are strong enough can you live safely.
That night, when his mother fell asleep, Lin Feng quietly slipped into the yard and sat cross-legged. He closed his eyes, calmed down, and followed the method taught in the [Introduction to Chakra Refining Technique] in his mind, trying to feel the energy in his body and then gather it together.
This was much harder than he thought, and also very boring. He had to concentrate all the time, to feel those elusive things, and then carefully guide them away. After a while, sweat broke out on his forehead, and his legs became numb from sitting.
But he gritted his teeth and said nothing.
He could feel that there seemed to be a faint current of heat slowly gathering in his body.
This was his first step into the ninja world.
The moonlight shone on his face, his little face looked very tender, but his eyes were quite stubborn. Thinking about going to the Ninja School in the future, where he might learn powerful skills, and the system as a trump card, Lin Feng felt a little uneasy, but also quite excited. This world is quite dangerous, but… it seems quite interesting!

Time flies, and Lin Feng has reached the age to enter Konoha Ninja School.
He stood outside the school gate with his small schoolbag on his back, looking at the children coming and going, feeling a little excited.
“Finally, my ninja journey begins!”
He stepped into the school gate and was immediately surrounded by noise.
The children gathered together, chattering, some were excited, some were restless, and some had already started making friends.
Lin Feng quickly found his class.
In the classroom, several familiar figures immediately came into view.
That noisy blond boy must be Uzumaki Naruto.
Needless to say, the black-haired boy with a cold and cool expression next to him is Uchiha Sasuke.
There was also a girl with pink hair and a wide forehead, smiling foolishly at Sasuke, Haruno Sakura.
“The three main characters are all here.” Lin Feng chose a seat by the window and sat down, observing them quietly.
At this time, a teacher with a scar on his face and a gentle expression walked in.
“Hello everyone, from today on, I will be your instructor. My name is Umino Iruka. Please take care of me.”
The class has begun.
Iruka started with the most basic chakra theory, what is chakra, how to refine it, how its properties change, etc.
These are like incomprehensible things to children who are encountering them for the first time.
But for Lin Feng, who has already mastered the [Introduction to Chakra Refining Technique] and [Mastery of Basic Three Body Techniques], it is a piece of cake.
Not only could he easily understand what Iruka said, he could also think further.
In the shuriken throwing class, other students were still struggling to throw the targets crookedly, but Lin Feng just threw them casually, “swoosh, swoosh, swoosh”, and three shurikens accurately hit the center of the bull’s eye.
Iruka couldn’t help but look at him several times.
Naruto immediately shouted: “Lin Feng, you are amazing! How did you do it?”
Sasuke glanced at Lin Feng, snorted, turned his head, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Sakura covered her mouth in surprise.
At this moment, the system’s prompt sounded: “Ding! It is detected that the host has mastered basic chakra control, triggering the task [Mastering Chakra Nature Changes], task reward: number of draws * 1. Do you accept?”
“Accept!” Lin Feng said silently in his heart without hesitation.
The task requirement is very simple, which is to successfully complete any basic exercise of chakra property change, such as using wind escape to cut leaves.
This may take a long time for others, but Lin Feng feels that he can give it a try.
After school, Lin Feng came to a secluded grove.
He took out the lottery chance awarded by the system.
“System, draw a lottery!”
The familiar roulette wheel appeared again, the light flickering.
“Give me some strength, Brother System!”
The pointer spun rapidly and finally stopped in a grid that glowed with green light.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning the [Introduction to Wind Style Chakra Nature Transformation]!”
“That’s great!” Lin Feng waved his fist excitedly.
Wind escape! It’s very aggressive and fast, which suits him very well.
A surge of knowledge about the changing nature of wind escape techniques flooded into my mind.
He picked up a leaf, concentrated his mind, gathered chakra into his fingertips, and tried to inject wind attribute.
“Hiss——” The chakra was somewhat out of control, and the leaves were just shaking slightly.
“It’s a bit difficult.” Lin Feng frowned.
But he didn’t give up and tried again and again.
Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead as his chakra was constantly consumed and restored.
The chakra at his fingertips was sometimes violent, almost cutting himself, and sometimes weak, only causing the leaves to tremble slightly.
He calmed down, carefully recalling the knowledge instilled by the system, and feeling the subtle differences in the flow of chakra.
“A little more refined…more focused…”
An unknown amount of time had passed, but when he once again condensed the wind-attributed chakra on his fingertips, he finally felt a hint of sharpness.
“Swish–” The leaf was cut. Although the cut was a bit rough, it was indeed split into two halves.
“Ding! Mission [Master the Changes in Chakra Properties] Completed! Obtained 1 draw!”
“Save it for this time.” Lin Feng decided to keep this chance to win the lottery and use it at the critical moment.
In the practical training class a few days later, the students practiced in pairs.
Lin Feng’s opponent is Kenta from the same class, who looks tall and strong.
Kenta grinned and said with a hint of dissatisfaction: “Lin Feng, I heard that you are very accurate with shuriken? I wonder how good your boxing skills are!” Then he rushed over.
Lin Feng dodged his straight punch by leaning sideways and hooked his foot.
Kenta lost his balance and stumbled forward several steps.
Lin Feng seized the opportunity, took a deep breath, condensed the wind-attribute chakra that he had just mastered in his throat, and spurted it out violently!
“Whoosh–” A rapid airflow that was not strong but had a cutting feeling rushed straight to Kenta’s face. Although it did not cause any damage, it made him unable to open his eyes. His feet became even more messy and he sat down directly on the ground.
“Wow! It’s Wind Style!”
“Has the nature of the Lin Feng Society changed?”
“sure!”
The students watching were all quite surprised.
Teacher Iruka also nodded, with a satisfied look on his face: “Very good, Lin Feng, you have mastered the nature change well.”
Kenta got up, looking a little embarrassed, but he still admitted defeat honestly: “I lost.”
This time, Lin Feng became a little famous.
There were many people praising him, but there were also more people looking at him with dissatisfaction.
The bell rang for the end of get out of class. Lin Feng had just packed up and was ready to leave when he was blocked in the corner of the corridor by several senior students.
The leader looked impatient and tilted his head to look at him: “Hey, new guy, I heard you’re pretty arrogant? You just entered school and you dare to use ninjutsu to hurt your classmates?”
This is obviously nonsense. It is normal to have some bumps and bruises during practical classes. Kenta is not hurt anywhere.
Lin Feng looked at them: “What’s the matter?”
“Hey, you’re quite aggressive, kid!” A henchman nearby pushed Lin Feng and said, “Speak to our boss with some respect!”
Lin Feng stood still, staring at the hand: “Take your hand away.”
“You’re looking for death!” The follower got angry and started to hit him with his fist.
As the man’s fist just reached him, Lin Feng’s eyes focused, and his body reacted subconsciously. He slid sideways and accurately avoided the fist. At the same time, his right hand shot out like lightning, grabbing the opponent’s wrist joint, and his left hand pressed down on his elbow. He lowered his body’s center of gravity and used the opponent’s force to fight back!
“Ah!” The follower only felt a sharp pain in his wrist, and his whole arm became paralyzed and weak in an instant. His body lost balance and was pressed to the ground by Lin Feng, with his cheek touching the cold ground.
“Don’t bother me anymore.” Lin Feng let go of his hand, his voice carrying a hint of warning, but if you listen carefully, there seems to be an undetectable tremor.
He was actually a little nervous. This was the first time he had actually taken action against someone, and it didn’t feel good. But in order to avoid more trouble, he had no choice but to do so.
In this place, if you want to live in peace and security, you have to let others know that you are not easy to mess with.
The strong fist is the truth, and I have witnessed it today.
The leader was confused by Lin Feng’s move. Seeing his companion grimacing in pain, he was a little scared, but he still insisted on shouting: “You, you dare to hurt others in school! Wait, I’ll tell the teacher!”
After saying that, he quickly supported his injured companion and slipped away.
Lin Feng looked at their backs as they ran away, with no expression on his face.
He knew in his heart that such troubles would be inevitable in the future.

Chapter 3 Kakashi’s Test (Old Version)
The graduation exam of the Ninja School is here.
In the written test, the questions were very complicated and many students were so anxious that they kept scratching their heads and sweating.
Lin Feng took a deep breath, recalled the [Thinking Acceleration (Primary)] effect that the system had rewarded, and concentrated on reviewing the questions.
Although the questions were still tricky, he felt that his thinking was much clearer than usual, the knowledge points were connected faster, and his problem-solving speed was significantly improved.
He picked up the pen and started writing quickly. He handed in the paper in less than half an hour. Teacher Iruka looked at him and walked out early, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
The actual combat tests the three old skills: the art of clone, the art of substitution and the art of transformation.
This is too easy for Lin Feng. The [Basic Three Body Techniques Mastery] given by the system is not given for nothing.
He formed hand seals quickly and steadily, and used chakra just right, and completed all three techniques smoothly.
Iruka looked at Lin Feng’s report card, nodded, and thought that this kid was indeed good.
The weather was nice on the day of the graduation ceremony.
Iruka stood in front and began reading the class list.
“Team Seven: Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura…”
Naruto looked expectant. Sakura put her hands together and whispered something.
“…Uchiha Sasuke…”
Sakura was so happy that she almost jumped up, and Naruto’s face immediately fell.
“…and Lin Feng.”
Iruka paused for a moment and added, “Your guiding jonin is, Hatake Kakashi.”
“Kakashi? Is he that powerful elite jonin?” A classmate whispered in the audience.
Lin Feng’s eyebrows twitched, thinking that the plot was similar to what he knew, so it was okay.
In the afternoon, the four people from Class 7 met at the third training ground.
Naruto was jumping around without stopping. Sakura was circling around Sasuke, asking him questions, but unfortunately Sasuke just ignored her with a cold face.
Lin Feng found a tree to lean against, closed his eyes and rested for a while, thinking about the next survival exercise in his mind.
They waited for nearly two hours, and the sun was about to set, before they saw a man with silver-white hair, wearing a mask and a forehead protector covering his left eye slowly walking towards them.
“Hey, good morning, everyone.” Kakashi raised his hand lazily and greeted them.
“It’s too late!” Naruto and Sakura shouted in unison.
Sasuke just looked at him coldly.
Lin Feng opened his eyes and looked his future teacher up and down, muttering to himself, he was just as he remembered him, a little annoying but also quite mysterious.
Kakashi simply ignored the protest and waved two small bells in his hand: “Today we are going to have a survival exercise. The rules are very simple. If you can grab a bell from me before noon, you will pass. If you can’t grab it, you won’t have lunch, and you will have to be tied to a pillar and watch others eat.”
“Just two bells? There are four of us…” Sakura thought quickly and found the problem.
“That’s right, so at least one person will be eliminated and sent back to the ninja school.” Kakashi said with a smile, but his eyes suddenly became serious, “You can use shuriken or kunai, just come and attack me, otherwise you won’t be able to get it. Okay, start!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Sasuke and Sakura disappeared and hid in the woods.
Naruto was stunned for a moment, then shouted: “I must grab the bell, this is my first step to becoming Hokage!” After that, he rushed straight towards Kakashi.
As a result, it was obvious that he was fooled by Kakashi and finally got hit hard, and flew out screaming.
Lin Feng shook his head. This guy is still so impulsive.
He didn’t move in a hurry. He first concentrated on feeling his surroundings, watching Kakashi’s movements while paying attention to where Sasuke and Sakura were hiding.
Sasuke tried to launch a sneak attack several times, but was easily blocked by Kakashi. In the end, Sasuke was buried in the ground by Kakashi, with only his head sticking out.
Sakura was even worse off. She was caught in Kakashi’s illusion and fainted when she saw Sasuke was “seriously injured”.
“Tsk, looks like I have to do it.” Lin Feng sighed.
He took the initiative to walk out and stood in front of Kakashi: “Kakashi-sensei, it’s definitely not possible to fight alone, right?”
Kakashi seemed to be looking at him with interest: “Oh? What do you think?”
“Naruto! Sasuke! Sakura! Stop fighting by yourselves! We have to work together to get the bell!” Lin Feng shouted towards the forest, “Think about what the teacher just said, why there are only two bells!”
The buried Sasuke didn’t look very happy, but he didn’t say anything.
Naruto had just been released by Kakashi and was rubbing his butt. He ran over when he heard this: “Lin Feng is right! Let’s go together!”
Xiaoying fainted, and Lin Feng pinched her philtrum using the method he learned from the [Basic First Aid Manual] that came with the lottery draw, and barely woke her up. She was still a little confused, but she understood the situation in front of her.
“Sasuke-kun, we…” Sakura looked at Sasuke.
Sasuke snorted coldly: “Just don’t hold us back.” This was considered as agreeing to cooperate.
Lin Feng quickly analyzed:
“Naruto, you have a large number of shadow clones, harass Kakashi head-on to the greatest extent and disrupt his rhythm! Sasuke, your fireball is powerful, choose the right time to suppress him remotely and force him to move, but be careful not to hurt Naruto by mistake! Sakura, you have good observation skills, help us keep an eye on Kakashi’s hand seals and the position of the bell, and create interference when there is a chance! I am relatively fast, so I will be responsible for finding an opportunity to get close and grab the bell!”
“Okay!” Naruto immediately formed hand seals.
“Bang bang bang!” More than a dozen shadow clones appeared and rushed towards Kakashi screaming.
“Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!” Sasuke did not hesitate and threw a big fireball towards Kakashi.
Kakashi dodged the fireball easily and dispersed several shadow clones.
At this moment, Lin Feng moved.
He was very fast, and he got close to Kakashi in an instant, and stabbed the bell on Kakashi’s waist with the kunai in his hand. He also secretly condensed a trace of wind attribute chakra on the kunai, and the edge of the kunai glowed with a faint green light, with a barely detectable cutting airflow, in order to make it sharper and easier to break through the defense.
Kakashi’s eyes became a little more serious, he dodged sideways and raised his other hand to block it.
“Ding!” With a crisp sound of metal clashing, the kunai was accurately blocked by Kakashi, but a faint white mark was left on the back of Kakashi’s hand. He glanced at Lin Feng with a little surprise.
But Lin Feng didn’t intend to grab it right away, he wanted to create an opportunity.
He crouched down and kicked Kakashi’s lower body with a sweeping kick.
Kakashi jumped up and dodged.
The moment he jumped up, Sakura, who had been waiting for an opportunity, suddenly rushed out, also targeting the two bells!
Kakashi was in mid-air, a little surprised, but he handled it easily.
However, such continuous cooperation still left Kakashi with some space.
Lin Feng seized this fleeting opportunity, turned his wrist and stabbed the kunai that had just been blocked towards the bell again!
Just a little bit!
The kunai was about to touch the bell, and at this moment, the noon bell rang.
“Time’s up.” Kakashi landed lightly on the ground, still holding the two bells in his hands.
Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura were all panting with exhaustion, with expressions of unwillingness on their faces.
Lin Feng was also a little out of breath. Although the cooperation just now was not long, it was quite strenuous.
Kakashi glanced at the three panting people, and finally stopped at Lin Feng, with a hint of approval in his eyes:
“Although we didn’t get the bell, it was you, Lin Feng, who made everyone understand that fighting alone is not feasible, and also understood the significance of cooperation.” He paused, looked at everyone, and pointed to the memorial tablet next to him:
“Many of the ninjas who are called heroes are listed here… Ninjas who don’t follow the rules are trash. However, those who don’t know how to cherish their companions are worse than trash! You… have passed the test!”
Naruto and the other two were stunned for a moment, and then they burst into joy.
Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, finally he was not eliminated.
Chapter 4: Encountering Strong Enemies during Escort Mission (Old Version)
After becoming Genin, Team 7’s days were spent wandering around the village, doing nothing but trivial tasks.
Help Mrs. Daming find the fat and hidden cat “Ah Hu”, go to the river to clear the overgrown aquatic plants, and help the neighbor’s old lady carry the rice bags upstairs.
Naruto yelled at the door of Teacher Iruka’s office almost every day: “How many times have I told you! I want to do more difficult tasks! These are not enough!” His voice was so loud that half of the corridor could hear it.
Sasuke was still the same, leaning against the wall with his hands in his pockets, his eyes drifting out the window, occasionally glancing at the noisy Naruto, as if to say, “It’s so noisy.”
Sakura was quite happy about it. As long as the mission allowed her to find a chance to talk to Sasuke, she would be fine even if it was just helping someone walk the dog.
Lin Feng took advantage of this time to familiarize himself with the terrain of Konoha, and he was not idle. He never stopped practicing chakra control. Sometimes when the mission ended early, he would sneak into the small woods behind the mountain and practice his wind style cutting facing the waterfall. The water splashed high, but the effect was… just so-so. He glanced at the lucky draw opportunity saved on his system panel and decided to wait a little longer. Good things should be used at critical moments.
Perhaps it was because Naruto was making too much noise that even the Third Hokage was a little helpless and finally assigned them a more decent job – a C-level mission, to escort a bridge builder named Dazna back to the Land of Waves.
“Ohhh! I can finally go out of the village to do a mission!” Naruto was so excited that he almost jumped up and hit the roof.
At the gathering place, Uncle Dazna was holding an unlit cigarette in his mouth, reeking of alcohol. He squinted his eyes as he looked at the half-grown kids. The distrust in his eyes was almost overflowing: “You’re just sending these brats to protect me? There’s no one left in Konoha?”
Naruto exploded on the spot: “What are you talking about, uncle! I am the man who wants to become Hokage!”
Lin Feng patted Naruto’s shoulder and muttered to himself: Uncle, you are really good at acting.
Leaving Konoha Village and setting foot on the dirt road to Wave Country, the atmosphere was quite relaxed at first. Naruto chattered non-stop, and Sakura tried to find topics to talk to Sasuke, but Sasuke still ignored her.
Lin Feng walked behind the team, looking relaxed, but actually he was very nervous. He remembered that this section of the road was not smooth.
Sure enough, not long after they walked, an inconspicuous puddle on the side of the road suddenly exploded with a “splash”, splashing water everywhere. Two ferocious-looking ninjas wearing strange forehead protectors jumped out, and rushed towards Kakashi with chain claws in their hands covered with water vapor!
“Ghost brother from Kirigakure! Prepare to die!”
There were a few crisp sounds of “ding-dang-dang”, accompanied by two muffled hums, so fast that the movements were almost invisible.
By the time Naruto and the others reacted, the two aggressive guys had been easily subdued by Kakashi, tied up tightly, and collapsed on the ground like two fish out of water.
“Wow! Teacher Kakashi is so awesome!” Naruto’s eyes widened with admiration.
Sasuke’s face darkened. The murderous aura in his heart made him feel nervous, and his hand unconsciously clenched his kunai. Sakura was so scared that her face turned pale, and she subconsciously grabbed Lin Feng’s arm tightly.
Lin Feng frowned, faster than he thought. He glanced at the ghost brothers on the ground, Chunin level, it seems that the plot has begun.
Kakashi crouched down and checked the two men, then looked at Dazna with sharp eyes: “Mr. Dazna, it seems that you need to explain why a Chunin-level assassin attacked you? This is beyond the scope of a C-rank mission.”
Dazna couldn’t stand Kakashi’s stare anymore, and finally told the truth: he was a key figure in the Wave Country’s fight against the black-hearted merchant Cardo, and he went back to build a bridge connecting the mainland, breaking Cardo’s maritime monopoly and bringing hope to the suffering people. Cardo therefore issued a hunting order for him. The actual risk of this mission is at least B-level, or even A-level!
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
Kakashi looked at the three students who were obviously nervous, “The situation has changed. The mission has been upgraded. According to the regulations, you can choose to abandon the mission and return to the village. I will escort you back.”
“I’m not leaving!” Naruto jumped up without thinking, his fists clenched tightly, “I promised to protect you, how can I give up halfway! This is my ninja way!”
Sasuke snorted coldly, his face expressionless but his eyes firm, meaning that he would not escape from the battlefield.
Sakura looked at Naruto who looked determined, then secretly glanced at Sasuke, bit her lip, and mustered up her courage: “If Sasuke-kun stays, I, I will stay too!”
Lin Feng spread his hands with a relaxed smile on his face, as if the thrilling experience just now was just a small episode: “Since we are here, we can’t just go home now, right? Besides, it sounds quite exciting.”
Kakashi looked at the four young disciples in front of him, none of whom flinched. A hint of barely perceptible warmth flashed across his lazy eyes, and then he returned to his unmotivated look: “Okay, since you have all decided. Let’s move on. However, be alert, because the next enemy is no match for those two trash just now.”
The team set out again, everyone was much quieter, and their pace quickened. There was a vague sense of tension in the air.
A few days later, the boat was sailing through thick fog, and the vague coastline of the Land of Waves was vaguely visible.
Suddenly, a sharp sound of “buzz” tore through the silence! An exaggeratedly huge beheading sword flew over, with a terrifying sound of wind, and hit the tree trunk not far ahead, and the blade was still shaking!
A tall figure stood silently on the handle of the big knife stuck in the tree trunk, his face was wrapped in bandages, revealing only a pair of cold eyes. The murderous aura on him almost solidified, and his eyes swept over the people on the boat.
“The Kirigakure demon, Momochi Zabuza!” Kakashi’s face suddenly turned very ugly. He slowly raised his hand and pulled open the forehead protector that was covering his left eye, revealing the red three-magatama Sharingan.
“Oh? Copy Ninja Hatake Kakashi, I’ve heard of you. Hand over the old man behind you, and I can make you die quickly.” Zabuza’s voice was hoarse and cold, which made people uncomfortable to listen to.
As soon as the words fell, the battle began.
Kakashi and Zabuza moved almost at the same time, their water-based ninjutsu collided with each other and splashed water. The wind created by their close combat made a whistling sound, and mud and water splashed everywhere.
The three kids from Team 7 quickly formed a circle and protected Dazna in the middle.
Zabuza’s water clones kept rushing over, and even when Sasuke opened his Sharingan, he could only barely keep up with the action, and it was very difficult to block. Naruto was even more flustered, and his shadow clone was chopped off as soon as it appeared, which looked a bit miserable.
When the fight was in full swing, Kakashi seemed to be not paying attention and was trapped by Zabuza’s water prison technique, unable to move. Naruto and Sasuke were anxious and angry, trying desperately to figure out how to break the water prison.
Everyone’s attention was on Kakashi and Zabuza. No one noticed that in the shadows at the edge of the woods, a shadow that was supposed to be lying still quietly moved, and quickly jumped out along the ground, aiming at Dazna who was surrounded in the middle!
It was one of the demon brothers that Kakashi had knocked down before! This guy was not dead yet. I don’t know how he pretended to be dead. At this moment, he had a fierce and triumphant smile on his face, and his shining claws grabbed the unsuspecting Dazna fiercely!
“Uncle, be careful!” Sakura screamed in fear and subconsciously wanted to block it, but it was too late.
Sasuke and Naruto were also confused by this and wanted to rescue people, but they were entangled by the water clones.
“court death!”
Just when the claws were about to touch someone, a figure suddenly rushed in!
Lin Feng had reached the side of the Ghost Brothers without knowing when. He flicked his wrist and a strange-looking kunai with special runes engraved on it flew out at an angle. With a “whoosh”, it nailed to the ground next to the route that the Ghost Brothers were rushing towards!
It was the [Flying Thunder God Kunai (One-time Trial Version)] that he had won in a lottery before, but had never been willing to use!
“Wind Style: Fierce Wind Palm!”
While throwing the kunai, Lin Feng slapped the ghost brother fiercely. A stream of air rushed towards the guy’s face. Although the force was not strong, it was enough to block his vision. The ghost brother subconsciously closed his eyes and tilted his head, and his movement forward slowed down a little bit.
The time is now!
Lin Feng’s mind moved and he activated Flying Thunder God!
Before his figure disappeared, he had instantly appeared next to the special kunai, just going around behind the ghost brothers!
The sneak attacker had no idea what was going on, he just felt a chill on his neck. Lin Feng held a normal kunai tightly in his hand, filled it with chakra, and using the momentum of Flying Thunder God, he slashed at his neck quickly and accurately!
“Puff——”
Blood spurted out all of a sudden.
The ghost brother’s grim smile froze, his eyes widened, filled with fear and disbelief. He staggered twice, then fell forward.
“Plop.” The corpse hit the wet mud with a muffled sound.
It all happened so fast, almost in the blink of an eye!
Naruto opened his mouth wide, watching the man who was alive and kicking just now collapse. Sasuke frowned tightly, and looked at Lin Feng with a complicated look, a little shocked, and something inexplicable. Sakura covered her mouth, her face pale, and tried hard not to vomit. Seeing fear in Lin Feng’s eyes, it seemed that there was something else.
Dazna slumped down on the ground, breathing heavily, his clothes on the back soaked with cold sweat. He really thought he was going to die just now.
Kakashi and Zabuza, who were fighting in the distance, were also startled by the noise here. Their movements slowed down for a beat and they all looked over here.
Lin Feng shook off the blood on the kunai expressionlessly, without even looking at the corpse on the ground, as if he had just done something insignificant.
But he knew that his heart was pounding in his chest and the knuckles of his fingers holding the kunai were a little white.
This is the world of ninjas. Either you die or I die. It’s cold and there’s no logic to it.
It was his first time killing someone, and he felt terrible, his stomach churning a little, but he forced himself to calm down and suppress the discomfort. He needed strength and needed to adapt to this place.
This sudden attack and counterattack made everyone in Class 7 smell the scent of death.
How dangerous the mission is, what companions mean, and whether I am strong enough, these things that were a bit vague before, in the face of the blood just now, suddenly became particularly clear and heavy.
The relationship between the four people seemed to have changed quietly at this moment.
Chapter 5: The Storm of the Chunin Exam (Old Version)
The mission in Wave Country was completed and Team 7 returned to Konoha.
I heard that the bridge in Dazna was successfully built, so life there should be better.
Lin Feng received the mission reward, and the system also settled the reward.
The village looked much the same as before, but the atmosphere in the team had definitely changed.
Naruto trained harder than before and often got himself covered in dirt.
Sasuke was the same, he spent more time in the training ground alone, and his attacks were more ruthless. The last time he dealt with Zabuza, and the one with Lin Feng, obviously made him feel the gap.
Sakura’s changes were also obvious. She began to actively seek advice from Kakashi on the secrets of chakra control, and sometimes even read basic medical scrolls.
In addition to daily practice, Lin Feng was also thinking about the experience of the Flying Thunder God Kunai, which was a very special feeling. At the same time, his mind became active, thinking about how to get the system to give more rewards.
After the training ended that day, Kakashi rarely rushed to leave and stopped the four of them.
He leaned against the tree, his tone not as lazy as usual: “I have something to inform you.”
His eyes swept across the faces of Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura and Lin Feng one by one.
“The village recommends you to take part in the upcoming Chunin Exams.”
“The Chunin Exam?” Naruto’s eyes lit up immediately. “Will I be promoted and receive more powerful missions?”
Sakura was a little nervous: “I heard that the exam is difficult and dangerous…”
Sasuke didn’t show any expression, but his eyes were obviously sharper and he was eager to try.
Lin Feng knew that this was the beginning of the main storyline.
Kakashi explained, “This is jointly organized by several major countries to test the strength of Genin. If you pass, you can be promoted to Chunin and have access to higher-level missions and resources. Of course,” he changed the subject, “you will encounter powerful characters from other villages, and the exam itself has considerable risks.”
“I want to participate!” Naruto raised his hand without thinking, “I must become a Chunin!”
“Hmph, just right.” Sasuke’s words were concise and his meaning was self-evident.
Sakura looked at Sasuke’s determined profile, then at Naruto’s excited face, and made up her mind: “I, I’ll join in too!”
Lin Feng spread his hands: “It sounds interesting, count me in.”
“Very good.” Kakashi seemed satisfied with their attitude. “There are still some days before the exam. From today on, we will intensify the training. Show me your true abilities!”
In the following days, the training of Class 7 did become much more rigorous.
Kakashi has higher requirements, and he keeps a close eye on both physical training and ninjutsu coordination.
Naruto was often beaten to a pulp, but his chakra control and the use of shadow clones were indeed improving. With the help of the Sharingan, Sasuke’s movements became faster and faster, and his fire escape technique became more powerful. Sakura was also trying to keep up, and her chakra control was obviously more stable than before.
Under Kakashi’s guidance, Lin Feng focused on practicing the changes of wind escape and practical skills. At the same time, he also kept an eye on the daily tasks issued by the system and saved up the chance to win the lottery.
During a break in training, Lin Feng found a secluded corner and communicated with the system in his mind: “Let’s draw a lottery.”
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning: Chakra Perception (Primary)! ]“Perception ability?” Lin Feng nodded slightly, not bad.
Although it’s only elementary, being able to detect the surrounding chakra fluctuations in advance is always an extra layer of protection.
The day of the Chunin Exam has finally arrived.
The examination room was in a tall building in the center of the village, and it was packed with people. Genin from Sunagakure, Kusagakure, Takigakure, and every village gathered here, wearing all kinds of clothes.
The room was quite quiet, but the energy was tense, and when their eyes met, it was as if they were about to fight.
“Wow, so many people!” Naruto muttered softly, his eyes wide open, a little excited and a little nervous.
“Stop making so much noise, you’re just a loser.” Sasuke leaned against the wall, his eyes coldly scanning the people in the room, as if he was assessing his opponent.
Lin Feng quietly used the elementary chakra perception he had just acquired. All of a sudden, the various chakra fluctuations around him became clear, and some of them felt particularly cold and powerful, which made him look at those people a few more times.
At this time, a senior with glasses and silver hair came over. He looked very friendly. It was Kabuto Yakushi. He enthusiastically introduced the situation of each village to Naruto and the others, and even took out the Shinobi Card to show the information.
Lin Feng became more cautious, this guy was no simple man, he was Orochimaru’s man.
Not long after, the door opened and a man with scars all over his face and fierce eyes walked in. It was Morino Ibiki. As soon as he came in, the temperature in the whole room seemed to drop by several degrees, and everyone subconsciously shut up.
“The first exam is a written test!” Ibiki’s voice was not loud, but it was very penetrating.
“Huh? A written test?” Naruto was stunned, and there was a buzz of discussion around him.
The test papers were handed out quickly. Lin Feng took a quick look and found the questions were indeed biased and difficult. Not to mention the Genin, even many Chunin would be scratching their heads.
The rules are even stranger: if you are caught cheating five times, the whole team will be kicked out. But if you don’t cheat on any questions, but can’t answer the last key question, you will also be eliminated.
This is obviously asking you to cheat! The test is about how you get the information without making any noise.
The scene suddenly became lively. Some people had their magatamas swirling around in their eyes, secretly looking at other people’s papers; some people moved their fingers very quickly, and it was unknown what gadgets they were controlling; and some people used special ninjutsu to sneak a peek at the answers.
Naruto was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and the pen he was holding was almost soaked with water.
Sasuke also opened his Sharingan and carefully observed the small movements of other people in the examination room.
Sakura had a good foundation. She bit the pen and wrote with difficulty, but it looked quite strenuous.
Lin Feng was quite steady.
He silently said in his mind: “System, use the ‘Knowledge Amplification Card’!”
My mind suddenly became clear, the messy questions on the test paper became clear and the answers popped out.
He picked up the pen and wrote very quickly without pausing. The speed was so fast that the Chunin who was in charge of the exam couldn’t help but look at him several times.
It only took Lin Feng a meal’s time to stop writing and check it from beginning to end. There was no problem.
He raised his hand directly: “I have finished writing the report.”
Ibiki, who was staring at the whole audience, raised his head and cast a sharp gaze on him: “Are you sure? If you hand in the paper now, the last question…”
“Sure.” Lin Feng stood up with a confident look on his face.
Amidst the surprised or unhappy gazes around him, Lin Feng became the first person to hand in his paper and walked out of the examination room leisurely.
“That guy…” Sasuke looked at his back and frowned unconsciously.
Naruto opened his mouth wide: “When did Lin Feng become so smart?”
Later, thanks to Ibiki’s sweat-inducing “Tenth Question” and Naruto’s passionate speech of “I will never give up”, Team 7 finally passed the first exam with some difficulty.
Feilu novel, Fei will make you look good!
Chapter 6: Dead Forest Attacked Snake Shadow Appears (Old Version)
The invigilator for the second exam was called Mitarashi Anko, a noisy female jonin who looked like someone who was not someone to be trifled with and who always liked dealing with snakes.
The examination venue was set up directly at the terrifying No. 44 training ground on the edge of the village, nicknamed the “Forest of Death”.
The rules were simple: two or three people formed a group, and each group was given a “Scroll of Heaven” or a “Scroll of Earth”. Once they entered the forest, they had to find a way to collect both scrolls within five days, and then rush to the high tower in the middle of the forest.
During this period, you can use any method to steal other people’s scrolls.
“Remember this, this is the Death Forest, not a place for you to play around!” Hongdou licked the corner of her mouth and smiled a little creepy, “Good luck to you, but don’t die too ugly!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the large iron gates at the entrances clanged open, and the examinees who were holding their breath rushed in all at once, disappearing into the dark forest in the blink of an eye.
“Let’s go!” Lin Feng called out, and Class 7 quickly found an entrance and plunged into the depths of the forest.
The Death Forest is no joke, it’s stuffy and humid, there are poisonous insects and ferocious beasts everywhere, and there are thick rotten leaves underfoot, which are soft to step on. But the most important thing to be careful of is the other people who come in to take the exam like you.
The three members of Team 7 were very alert and walked in step by step. Lin Feng quietly used his newly acquired chakra perception ability, with his ears perked up, paying attention to every move around him.
“There’s someone over there!” Lin Feng suddenly said in a low voice.
The three of them immediately squatted down and hid behind a dense bush.
Not far away, three Genin dressed in Rain Village costumes were beating up another group of examinees. The winner was decided in a few hits. The three Genin were quite agile, snatching the scroll and running away.
“What should we do? Go up and rob them?” Naruto couldn’t help but ask in a low voice.
“Wait.” Lin Feng held his shoulder. “The chakra of those Rain Ninjas seems very ordinary. I don’t know what scroll they got. There’s no need to act now.”
They bypassed the place where the fight had just taken place and continued to explore deeper into the woods.
As we were walking, the wind in the woods suddenly became strange. The leaves rustled and a fishy smell came with it, making us feel nauseous.
Then, a shadow slid out from behind the tree trunk. It was a strange man with a frighteningly pale face and a long tongue. The coldness from his body made Lin Feng feel cold on the back of his neck.
Orochimaru!
Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat and his pupils shrank.
Why is this guy here? Looks like he’s coming for Sasuke!
“Hehehe… found it. It’s a really good container.” Orochimaru let out an unpleasant laugh, and his snake-like eyes stared straight at Sasuke.
A suffocating murderous aura came over them, and Naruto and Sakura froze, their faces turned pale, and they seemed unable to move.
Sasuke gritted his teeth and forced himself to open his Sharingan, but when he met Orochimaru’s unfathomable gaze, he couldn’t help but tremble.
“Damn it!” Lin Feng cursed inwardly. This guy’s aura was too scary!
“Ding! The host is detected to be facing a fatal threat, triggering the emergency mission [Survive under Orochimaru and protect teammates], mission reward: draw times*2, random ninjutsu scroll*1. Failure penalty: obliteration!”
The system’s voice rang in Lin Feng’s mind, making him feel even more nervous.
And it also includes the ability to kill? You are serious!
“Hand over the scroll, and then… let that Uchiha kid stay.” Orochimaru stuck out his long tongue and licked his lips, looking particularly creepy.
“Don’t even think about it!” Naruto didn’t know where he got the courage from, he broke free from the pressure, roared and rushed forward.
As a result, Orochimaru didn’t even raise his eyelids, but flicked his sleeves and blew Naruto away. Naruto hit a tree and fainted without even a grunt.
Sasuke was also entangled by Orochimaru’s strange body movements and endless ninjutsu. He had no way to fight back and could only parry.
“That’s enough.” Orochimaru’s neck suddenly stretched out like a snake, and he opened his mouth and bit towards Sasuke’s neck!
It’s about to bite!
Lin Feng couldn’t care less at this time. A head-on confrontation would definitely not work, so he quickly shouted in his mind: “System, give me a lottery! Someone who can save my life! Someone who can fight! Quick!”
He had saved up a chance to win a lottery but didn’t use it.
The roulette wheel spun rapidly.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning the [Wind Style: Vacuum Jade]!”
In an instant, a stream of information about how to use this powerful wind-style ninjutsu rushed into Lin Feng’s mind.
Lin Feng quickly formed seals with his hands, and the wind-attribute chakra in his body surged wildly, gathering at an unprecedented speed.
“Wind Style: Vacuum Jade!”
He suddenly opened his mouth, and several highly compressed air bullets shot towards Orochimaru with a whistling sound!
“Huh?” Orochimaru seemed a little surprised. He probably didn’t expect that this seemingly inconspicuous Genin could use wind jutsu to this degree.
He stopped biting Sasuke and twisted his body as if he had no bones, dodging most of the air bullets, but two of them still grazed his arms and cheeks, leaving two thin bloody marks.
“Interesting kid.” Orochimaru glanced at Lin Feng, then looked at Sakura who had fainted beside him, and Naruto who had been knocked unconscious, and finally his eyes fell on Sasuke’s neck. There were three black marks like commas on Sasuke’s neck, and he was twitching in pain.
The purpose of his visit this time has been achieved, and he doesn’t seem to be interested in getting entangled with Lin Feng, this slightly troublesome kid.
He smiled sinisterly, then slowly sank into the tree trunk beside him and disappeared.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, leaving only Lin Feng’s heavy breathing.
He leaned against a tree, his calves felt a little weak, he was really hanging on for a moment.
He hurried over to check on Sasuke’s condition. The black curse mark on his neck didn’t look like a good thing and made people feel creepy.
Then he went to great lengths to wake up Naruto and Sakura.
“Just now…what kind of monster was that just now?” Naruto woke up, still in shock, his voice trembling.
When Sakura saw Sasuke in so much pain, tears started to flow and she cried anxiously.
“Let’s leave here first and find a safe place.” Lin Feng calmed himself down and said in a deep voice.
The two of them supported the semi-conscious Sasuke and walked forward in the woods, one step deep and one step shallow.
They were lucky enough that they ran into another group of Konoha examinees not long after they walked away – Ino, Shikamaru and Choji.
With the help of acquaintances, Class 7 was finally able to settle down temporarily and found a relatively secluded cave to rest.
The next few days were filled with fear. They had to avoid other eager examinees, watch out for dangers in the woods, and look for the team with the “Scroll of Earth”.
Thanks to Lin Feng’s chakra perception ability, and his occasional use of [Wind Style: Vacuum Jade] to scare people, he was finally able to safely snatch the Scroll of Earth they needed from the hands of the two teams’ weaker-looking candidates.
On the fifth day, several people, exhausted, finally saw the shadow of the central tower.
As soon as he stepped into the safe zone, a reminder sounded in Lin Feng’s mind: “Ding! Mission [Survive under Orochimaru and protect teammates] has been completed! Obtained the number of lucky draws*2, [Wind Style: Vacuum Big Ball] Ninjutsu Scroll*1!”
He was delighted, as this Vacuum Jade sounded like an enhanced version of the Vacuum Jade, and its power must be even greater.
More than half of the team in Tari passed the second exam, and those who remained were not easy to deal with.
There were still too many people, so the Third Hokage decided to play an extra match, a one-on-one elimination match, to decide who would advance to the finals.
The referee is the always coughing Moonlight Gale. The match list is drawn randomly.
The cursed seal on Sasuke’s side looked quite tiring, but he still managed to hold on and defeat the Sound Ninja named Akado Kai.
Naruto was lucky too. He relied on brute force and shadow clones to actually defeat Inuzuka Kiba.
Sakura was not so lucky. She and Ino were both injured and eliminated together.
Soon, it was Lin Feng’s turn.
His opponent is from the Sand Village, carrying a large gourd and having a cold expression… Wait, it’s not Gaara!
Lin Feng saw clearly that although this guy was also a Sand Ninja, he was not that monster. He was quite thin, his eyes were like knives, he crossed his arms, and looked down on others.
“The eighth match, Lin Feng from Konohagakure Village against Maki from Sandgakure Village!” came the voice of Moonlight Gale.
“You’re lucky, little kid from Konoha, to have made it this far.” Maki spoke first, sneering, “But your luck is over!”
“You talk too much.” Lin Feng replied.
“The game begins!”
Maki’s handprints became faster.
“Wind Style: Sand Storm!”
As soon as he opened his mouth, a strong wind mixed with sand blew over, and the field was soon covered in gray. The sand hit his face painfully.
“That’s quite a bit.” Lin Feng jumped back without stopping. “Wind Style: Wind Blade!”
Several invisible wind blades cut through the sand and flew towards Maki.
“Little trick!” Maki snorted and slapped his hands on the ground. “Earth Escape: Earth Flow Wall!”
A wall of earth rose up, blocking the wind blade.
His hand seal changed again. “Sand-bound coffin!”
The floor tiles under Lin Feng’s feet suddenly shattered and turned into quicksand. Countless grains of sand twisted and wrapped around him, trying to swallow him whole.
Damn it! Lin Feng reacted quickly, and he jumped back as soon as his chakra was raised.
But the sand was faster and had already tightly entangled his calves.
“It’s over!” Maki’s eyes flashed with ruthlessness. “Sandfall Funeral!”
The sand wrapped around Lin Feng’s legs suddenly tightened, and a huge pressure came, and it seemed that his bones were about to be broken!
“Ah!” Lin Feng cried out in pain, feeling like his calf was really going to be broken.
This guy’s sand jutsu is too strong, and his control is so accurate and fierce, he doesn’t look like a Genin!
We can’t go on like this! We have to fight!
“System, draw a lottery! Give me someone who can turn the tables!” He shouted anxiously. Both chances were used up in an instant.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning the [Instant Burst Potion (Primary)]!”
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning [Physical Technique: Iron Block (Trial Version)]!”
Without thinking too much, Lin Feng immediately used the medicine.
A stream of heat rushed through his body, and his chakra suddenly increased, increasing his strength and speed! The calf muscles that were entangled in the sand also instantly tightened and hardened!
“Open… for me!” Lin Feng roared, and the burst of chakra carried the power of wind escape, which shook off the sand that was entangled in his legs!
Maki’s face changed: “What?”
Before he could react, Lin Feng’s figure was so fast that only a green afterimage was left as he rushed in front of him!
Too fast! Maki subconsciously raised his arm to block it.
“Bang!” Lin Feng punched him on the arm!
“Crack!” The sound of broken bones was particularly clear!
“Puff!” Maki spat out a mouthful of blood. He was knocked flying and hit the wall. He slid down and didn’t move. It seemed that he was unconscious.
The whole hall suddenly became eerily quiet.
Everyone was looking at Lin Feng in the field. The outburst just now was really terrifying.
Moonlight Gale was also stunned for a moment, then he coughed twice and announced: “The winner is Lin Feng!”
Lin Feng stood there, gasping for breath. The effect of the drug was wearing off and he began to feel weak, but his eyes became very sharp.
He could feel eyes on him from all directions.
Kakashi-sensei’s face was full of surprise and a little bit of relief. The Third Hokage had a deep look in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Over in the stands, the Sand Ninja named Gaara seemed to have a more murderous look in his eyes. Orochimaru, who was disguised as the Kazekage, also had a strange smile on his face.
The jonin from other villages looked at him with more inquiry and vigilance in their eyes.
Lin Feng knew clearly that he could no longer keep a low profile.
His own strength has been completely exposed, and troubles are bound to come.
Chapter 7: Konoha Chaos Enemy Appears (Old Version)
The preliminaries for the Chunin Exams had just ended, but the tense atmosphere in Konoha Village had not yet dissipated.
Kakashi has been frowning these days. Something is wrong outside the village, and the Anbu team responsible for vigilance cannot even be contacted.
“It feels like something is going to happen.” Kakashi stood on the Hokage Rock, looking at the still bustling village below, muttering to himself.
An ominous gust of wind blew by, causing the flags on the Hokage Rock to flutter. Even the air seemed to become heavier, making the uneasiness in his heart even stronger.
At this moment, there was a loud bang from the village commercial street… followed by two more! The flames shot up high and black smoke billowed out.
The screams and cries immediately overwhelmed the usual noise. “Enemy attack!!” The shrill alarm sounded throughout Konoha!
Figures flashed by on the roof. They were Konoha’s ninjas. The Anbu moved even faster and rushed straight to the place of the explosion.
“What’s wrong?!” Naruto was arguing with Sakura and was startled by the noise.
Sasuke gripped the kunai in his hand tighter, his Sharingan flashed red, and he looked around vigilantly.
Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat. What was supposed to come finally came!
“Assemble!” Kakashi appeared in front of them, his tone was unusually serious, “There is an invasion by unidentified ninjas! Team 7, follow me, protect the civilians in the designated area, and clean up these guys!”
“Yes!” Naruto, Sasuke and Lin Feng responded quickly.
Kakashi led the three of them and quickly rushed to the designated battlefield.
The scene on the road was heart-breaking. Many houses had collapsed, the streets were in a mess, and civilians were running in panic.
You can also see Konoha ninjas fighting with some guys wearing black clothes and white masks with strange spiral patterns on their faces. Their actions are swift and deadly. “Who are these guys?” Naruto saw a man in black using a water escape technique that he had never seen before to force back a Konoha Chunin, and couldn’t help asking.
“I don’t know, but he’s very strong and has good teamwork.” Kakashi said in a deep voice, “Everyone be careful!”
They soon arrived at the area they were responsible for, which was a residential area near the Ninja School.
Before the civilians had time to hide, three dark shadows came up.
The three black-clad ninjas formed a triangle, surrounding Team 7. They moved very quickly and coordinated well, and they targeted the vital points as soon as they attacked.
“Earth escape technique: Earth-splitting technique!”
“Wind Style: Vacuum Wave!”
“Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet!”
Three types of ninjutsu were directed at them, blocking almost all possible places to hide.
“Scatter!” Kakashi shouted, and quickly formed seals with his hands, “Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall!”
boom!
The ninjutsu collided, and smoke and dust exploded. Kakashi blocked most of the attack, but he was also shocked and felt a tightness in his chest.
“Naruto, Sasuke, cover Sakura and take the civilians away!” Kakashi ordered immediately and went to meet the man in black who looked like the leader.
“Understood!” Naruto roared, and dozens of shadow clones suddenly appeared and rushed towards the other two men in black.
Sasuke’s Sharingan spun quickly, staring at the enemy’s movements, and the Chidori in his hand crackled, ready to attack at any time.
But these two men in black were much more powerful than those we had encountered before, and even more difficult to deal with than the opponents in the qualifiers.
Naruto’s shadow clone was dispersed after just a few hits, and he himself was beaten back, with red at the corners of his mouth.
“Damn! These guys are so strong!” Naruto wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes were a little red, and the Nine-Tails’ chakra was ready to move.
Sasuke relied on his Sharingan to barely manage to deal with the opponent, but the opponent’s physical skills were very strange and he almost hit him several times.
“Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!” Sasuke found an opportunity and blew out a huge fireball.
The man in black didn’t dodge. Instead, he formed seals with his hands and a wall of water emerged, easily blocking the fireball.
“Tsk!” Sasuke spat, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
Sakura was anxious to get the civilians to hide while secretly glancing at the battle situation, her heart in her throat.
Lin Feng looked at the situation and frowned.
Although Kakashi had the upper hand, he couldn’t defeat his opponent in a short time.
Naruto and Sasuke are clearly at a disadvantage, and this can’t go on.
“Damn! Who are these guys? They are so ruthless!” Lin Feng dodged the flying stones, his mind racing.
It’s definitely not possible to just fight hard, the other side has more people and good coordination. We have to find a way to break the situation.
“System! I’m relying on you at the critical moment! Draw a lottery! Send someone who can control the situation or solve the problem at once!” Lin Feng shouted in his heart.
[Ding! The host is detected to be facing a high-intensity battle, and the number of draws*1 has been consumed! ][The roulette wheel starts spinning…][Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning the rare-level ninjutsu – Illusion: Binding Light! ][Illusion: Binding Light: Concentrates spiritual power and chakra, releasing a strong light, causing a forced immobilization effect on enemies within the line of sight. The duration depends on the difference in spiritual power between the two sides.]Illusion? Or range control? This is good! Lin Feng’s eyes lit up.
He stared at the man in black who was beating Sasuke. The guy’s attention was all on Sasuke.
“Sasuke! Lower your head!” Lin Feng shouted.
Sasuke tilted his head subconsciously.
Lin Feng quickly formed several seals with his hands, and chakra and mental power rushed to his eyes! “Illusion: Binding Light!” Buzz——!
A wave spread out, and then, a dazzling white light burst out from Lin Feng’s body, instantly illuminating the surroundings!
The two men in black who were besieging Naruto and Sasuke were caught off guard, their eyes were dazzled by a white light, and their minds suddenly went blank!
Their movements suddenly froze and their eyes became dull, as if they were tied up by something.
“It worked!” Lin Feng was delighted, but after using this trick, his head was buzzing.
“Now!” Without Lin Feng saying anything, Naruto and Sasuke also seized this opportunity!
“Rasengan!” Naruto roared, and a ball of rotating chakra hit the chest of a man in black hard!
“Chidori!” A flash of lightning appeared on Sasuke’s body, and his palm with a shrill bird cry pierced into the heart of another man in black!
Phew!
The two men in black still had expressions of disbelief on their faces as they fell down limply.
The whole process happened in the blink of an eye! The coordination was just perfect!
Sakura covered her mouth, her eyes wide.
The black-clad leader who was fighting with Kakashi was also startled by this sudden change and slowed down his movements.
How could Kakashi miss this opportunity? He used Raikiri to take action and easily dealt with his opponent.
After the three black-clad men died, the sounds of fighting around them died down. The remaining black-clad men saw that something was not right and quickly withdrew, disappearing into the shadows of Konoha’s buildings.
The crisis is over for now.
Naruto sat down on the ground, breathing heavily with his mouth wide open, but there was excitement on his face.
Sasuke knelt on one knee, covering his hot and stinging neck with his hand. The ominous curse seal there seemed to be more active. He panted and glanced at Lin Feng, who was resting against the wall with a pale face. His eyes were complicated and difficult to understand, with surprise, unwillingness, and a hint of impatience that he himself was not even aware of.
Lin Feng leaned against the wall, feeling as if there were hundreds of bees flying around in his head. The attack just now almost drained his mental strength, and his face turned frighteningly pale.
Kakashi squatted down and checked the enemy’s body, his face looked unhappy: “The method is very professional, and… this is not a ninja from any village we know.”
The surrounding Konoha ninjas also gathered together, saw the corpses on the ground, and then looked at Team 7, especially Lin Feng, their eyes full of surprise.
“That just now… was it an illusion? Such a strong light!”
“He immediately pinned down two powerful enemies. That kid…”
“Your name is Lin Feng, right? He was already very impressive in the preliminaries, and he has this trick too!”
The discussion reached Lin Feng’s ears. Lin Feng rubbed his swollen temples, feeling the gazes from all around him, feeling a little helpless.
Well, now he couldn’t hide it anymore. I’m afraid his reputation in the village would spread completely.
Although the attack was repelled, no one felt relieved.
Who are these mysterious attackers? What do they want to do? Is this attack just the beginning?
No one knew the answer. There was still a faint smell of blood in the air, and the atmosphere was heavy, as if foreshadowing that even greater trouble was yet to come.
Chapter 8: Rising Fame and Undercurrents (Old Version)
The smoke and dust left by the attack slowly dissipated, and Konoha Village became eerily quiet. The sky had just begun to show a little white, and the morning light shone on the broken walls and tiles, making the tragedy of last night even more apparent.
The streets were littered with broken bricks and craters. Medical ninjas were busy running around, carrying away the injured, and soft cries could be heard in some corners.
Lin Feng was so tired that he slowly sat down against a tree that had not fallen, his forehead covered with cold sweat. The illusion just now had drained him too much, his chakra was empty, and his mind was confused as if it had been tampered with.
“Senior Lin Feng! Are you okay?” A medical ninja trotted over and stuffed a ration pill into his hand.
“Senior?” Lin Feng took the pill and swallowed it, a little unresponsive. The bitter taste spread in his mouth, and the fatigue on his body was relieved a little.
“Yeah! Don’t you know? Your move is amazing!” The medical ninja gestured excitedly, “With a flash of light, those two powerful guys were unable to move! If it weren’t for you, who knows how many more people would have been killed or injured!”
Lin Feng didn’t say anything, his heart was in a mess. When you become famous, more people will stare at you. It’s hard to say whether it’s good or bad.
At this time, the system’s voice sounded in my mind:
[Ding! Mission “Defend Konoha” completion: Excellent! Reward lottery points × 5, special reward: Guardian lottery opportunity × 1]“Lin Feng.” Kakashi came over at some point, his voice low and deep, “Wait until the treatment team has checked it out, then go to the Hokage’s office.”
The air in the Hokage’s office was so stuffy that it was hard to breathe. The Third Hokage smoked his pipe, and the smoke made his face look even more tired.
“The damage has been reported.” Sarutobi Hiruzen said hoarsely, “We lost seventeen ninjas, thirty-two were injured, nine of them were seriously injured. Twenty-three civilians were also killed, and many houses were destroyed.”
After hearing this, everyone in the room couldn’t help but sigh.
“Have you found out the origins of those who attacked?” Kakashi asked.
“The Anbu are still investigating.” The Anbu captain wearing a cat-faced mask replied, “They don’t look like any village or organization we know. Their masks, fighting styles, and ninjutsu are all very strange. It seems like they were specially trained and are targeting our defense.”
“The most troublesome thing is that they seem to know our patrol routes and where the defense is lax.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room became even colder.
“Is there a traitor?” Nara Shikaku frowned tightly.
“We can’t rule out this possibility.” The Third Hokage thought for a moment, “Strengthen the vigilance, and send out all the Anbu to investigate. There is one more thing…”
His eyes fell on Lin Feng who was standing in the corner.
“This young Genin fought very well this time, especially that illusion, which we have rarely seen. Kakashi, did you teach him?”
Kakashi shook his head: “No.”
Everyone’s eyes were suddenly focused on Lin Feng.
Lin Feng felt his remaining chakra tense up. Being stared at by so many masters, he calmed himself down and said as calmly as possible: “I… just happened to see it in an old book.”
“Oh? What old book?” the Third Hokage asked again.
“It’s… some fragments of notes left by Lord Minato Namikaze.” Lin Feng could only bite the bullet and make up a story, “I found it at the very back of the library. Maybe someone left it there and forgot about it.”
When the Fourth Hokage, who was no longer with us, was mentioned, the atmosphere in the room changed a little. The Third Hokage didn’t say anything, and after a long while he nodded, “Very good, young man. You have done a great service to the village this time.”
After the meeting, Kakashi called Lin Feng to a deserted place.
“An old book? Minato-sensei’s notes?” Kakashi narrowed his single eye slightly, and his voice was emotionless. “The back of the library? How come I haven’t found it before?”
“I…”
“No need to explain.” Kakashi interrupted him, “Every ninja has his own secrets. I just need to know that your power is used to protect your companions and the village. However, remember, it is dangerous to reveal your cards too early. You were too conspicuous today and attracted a lot of attention. There must be some with bad intentions. Be more cautious next time.”
Lin Feng nodded, feeling grateful to Kakashi for understanding and reminding him.
“Also,” Kakashi continued, “the Sandaime has assigned a new mission to Team 7, to look for clues about this attack. Meet at the old place at 7 a.m. tomorrow.”
After returning to his place, Lin Feng locked the doors and windows, and carefully checked to make sure no one was watching before checking the system.
“There are a lot more lottery points, and there is also a special lottery.” Lin Feng thought to himself, “I’ll keep the ordinary ones for now and try this special one.”
[Guardian special lottery starts…]The light in front of me was much brighter than usual. The roulette wheel spun very fast and finally stopped on a golden grid.
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Ninjutsu: Shadow Clone Technique (Advanced Edition)][Shadow Clone Technique (Advanced Version): Much stronger than ordinary shadow clones, the clones are physical, can withstand more blows, have a reasonable distribution of chakra, can use 80% of your abilities, and last longer.]“This…Isn’t this Naruto’s move?” Lin Feng was surprised and delighted, “It’s an enhanced version!”
This is a good thing. It can be used in a fight, and it can also be very helpful in finding clues later. With more clones, you can go to several places to investigate at the same time, which is much faster.
Lin Feng immediately began to try to form seals.
The seal of the advanced shadow clone is not complicated and is similar to that of the ordinary shadow clone, but the output and distribution of chakra requires extreme sophistication.
He tried several times, and failed the first two times due to unstable chakra control. The clone disappeared with a “bang” just after it was formed, and a lot of chakra was wasted.
It was not until the third time that he concentrated all his energy and carefully recalled the key points instilled by the system, and finally succeeded in creating a stable, solid shadow clone.
“Huh…it’s really not simple.” Lin Feng wiped his sweat, feeling the considerable consumption of chakra in his body, but looking at the clone in front of him who was almost exactly like himself, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
“Great!” Lin Feng and his clone waved their fists at the same time and clapped their hands to each other.
The next morning, the members of Team 7 met at the training ground. As soon as Naruto saw Lin Feng, he immediately jumped over.
“Lin Feng! Your light technique is so cool! Teach me!” Naruto’s eyes sparkled as he circled around him, “Those guys in black clothes were frozen in an instant! How did you do that?”
“Be quiet for a while and stop following Lin Feng.” Sakura reached out and pulled Naruto, but she couldn’t hide her curiosity, “But… that move is really powerful.”
Sasuke was still the same, leaning against the tree with his arms folded, with no expression on his face. But Lin Feng noticed that his eyes would occasionally glance over at him, with a look of scrutiny and dissatisfaction.
“I can teach you the basics,” Lin Feng smiled, his voice carrying a hint of fatigue from a fight, “But I have to make it clear first, that move requires a lot of mental strength, and it’s very tiring to practice.”
“Mission briefing.” Kakashi’s voice interrupted, and the few people realized that he had arrived. “Naruto, Sakura, you two are responsible for the east area of ​​the village, see if there are any clues; Sasuke, you go to the west area; Lin Feng, follow me, we will go to the south area. Meet at the old place in the evening to exchange information.”
Everyone split up and Lin Feng followed Kakashi towards the southern area where the battlefield took place last night.
“Try your perception,” Kakashi said in a low voice, “see if there’s any strange chakra left.”
Lin Feng followed his instructions and closed his eyes, concentrating his mind. His chakra spread out like water waves. The familiar auras around him, those of the villagers and the Konoha ninjas, were all very clear, but in one corner, he felt a different fluctuation, very faint, but very piercing.
“Over there,” Lin Feng pointed at a half-collapsed house, “there are…strange chakra residues.”
The two approached cautiously. Kakashi moved a stone slab away, revealing a few spots of dried dark brown blood and a black feather underneath.
“This is…” Lin Feng picked up the feather and felt it was a little special. It was not as light and soft as ordinary bird feathers.
Kakashi took it, sniffed it closely, and frowned: “It carries chakra… It looks like the feather of some summoning beast. It may also be the trigger for some kind of technique.”
“Teacher, do you recognize this kind of feather?”
“I have some impression, but I can’t remember what kind it is.” Kakashi’s expression became more serious. “Keep it and take it back to show the intelligence team.”
At night, several people met at the old place and told each other about their discoveries. Naruto and Sakura found some fragments of enemy weapons in a bombed shop; Sasuke found that several security arrangements in the west district had been broken by someone in a very professional way, which meant that the enemy must have explored the situation before taking action.
“There’s something even more troubling,” Kakashi looked at the three of them, “The Anbu has confirmed that the village’s confidential archive room was broken into, and copies of several documents were stolen.”
“What document?” Sasuke asked immediately.
“Hokage didn’t elaborate,” Kakashi answered vaguely, “but this shows that the enemy doesn’t just want to cause destruction, they have other, more specific goals.”
The meeting was over, and just as Lin Feng was about to go back to rest, he was blocked by several people. They seemed to be Genin as well.
“Hey, you are Lin Feng, right? The guy who used the weird illusion in the attack?” The leading Genin blocked his way. He was tall and strong, with a hint of indignation on his face. “I heard that you just graduated? It’s amazing that you got all the limelight. Our team fought hard last night, but it seems that all the credit went to your team 7.”
His companion next to him also echoed: “That’s right, that kind of area illusion is not something a newcomer can master. How come your chakra is so strong? Did you use some forbidden technique?”
People gradually gathered around, including villagers who came to watch the fun and other ninjas, all looking over here.
Lin Feng sighed in his heart, but his expression remained calm: “I’m lucky. I met a good teacher and had the opportunity to practice. I also met a friend like you… who reminded me to work harder.”
The sturdy Genin felt like he had punched cotton after hearing what he said, and he didn’t know what to say for a moment.
“It’s no use talking without practice. How about we have a competition?” Another Genin next to him said, “Why don’t we try your illusion?”
Lin Feng smiled softly: “I have used up most of my chakra today, let’s do it another day. But…”
Before he finished speaking, he quickly formed a few seals with his hands. With a light bang, a clone that looked exactly like him appeared next to him, and even the chakra aura was almost indistinguishable.
There was a low murmur of discussion and a small gasp from the crowd. This was not the kind of phantom taught in school, but a real shadow clone!
“My clone can fight you for a few moves.” The shadow clone stepped forward and prepared to take action.
The provocative Genin looked at each other, their faces a little embarrassed, and the situation suddenly became a little awkward. At this time, Kakashi slowly walked over from the side of the crowd.
“Hmm? What’s up?” He asked lazily, his eyes sweeping over the Genin with an indescribable sense of pressure.
Those Genin immediately wilted, exchanged glances with each other, and dispersed in shame.
Kakashi walked over to Lin Feng and patted him on the shoulder: “You handled it well.”
Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn around and leave when he felt someone walking quickly behind him. It seemed that someone accidentally touched him and a small note was stuffed into his hand. He held it calmly.
When the crowd had almost dispersed, he quietly unfolded the note. There was only one line of words on it, written in a sloppy handwriting:
“The black feather comes from the shadows. Those who seek the truth beware. Midnight, cemetery east of the village.”
Chapter 9: The Murder in the Cemetery (Old Version)
Lin Feng held the thin piece of paper. The words on it were written crookedly, but the ink was dark, as if the person who wrote it was very strong.
He turned the note over and over several times, but couldn’t make out anything in the moonlight.
Was this a warning or a request for him to come over?
Black Feather… He remembered the one he picked up yesterday, and the one he and Kakashi-sensei found in the South District today.
I’m afraid this matter is not that simple.
Outside the window, the moon was hanging in the sky, and the roofs of the village were covered with a layer of white light. It was almost midnight.
Lin Feng made a few seals and with a “bang” a figure exactly like him appeared beside him. This was the advanced shadow clone he had just learned.
“You stay here and pretend that I’m sleeping. If anyone comes, you can deal with it.” He ordered.
The clone nodded: “Got it. Be careful, those guys in black are not easy to deal with.”
Lin Feng changed into a dark suit that was convenient for movement, carefully checked his ninja tool bag, and placed key items such as the Flying Thunder God Kunai in the most convenient location.
He glanced at the shadow clone on the bed and whispered, “If I don’t send back a safety signal through the reserved chakra seal in half an hour, you will go find Kakashi teacher immediately.”
The clone nodded seriously.
Afterwards, Lin Feng created another shadow clone and asked it to go to the outskirts of the cemetery from another route to conduct reconnaissance and support. He himself concealed his aura, blending into the night like a ghost, and carefully sneaked towards the cemetery in the east of the village along the shadow of the roof.
There was a commotion last night, so there are a lot more people patrolling the village.
Lin Feng chose to walk in the dark, avoiding several waves of patrols. He would occasionally stop, prick up his ears to listen, and release some chakra to explore the way.
The cemetery at the east end of the village is remote, with few people coming during the day, and it is even more creepy at night.
The rust on the big iron gate was in patches, casting long shadows under the moonlight.
Lin Feng climbed over the wall and landed very lightly, with almost no sound.
In the cemetery, the tombstones were white in the moonlight. A few old trees were crooked, with branches stretching towards the sky.
“Ga–” an unpleasant cry broke the silence, and a crow flapped its wings and flew away from the tree.
Lin Feng was startled and his heart beat faster.
He calmed himself down and whispered, “Hold on, hold on, you are a ninja after all.”
This cemetery doesn’t look big, but when you walk in you’ll find it’s quite deep, and the note doesn’t say where it is exactly.
Lin Feng stopped, closed his eyes, and slowly released his chakra, covering the surroundings like a net.
In addition to the cold atmosphere, he soon felt something else – in the innermost part of the cemetery, there was a very faint chakra, very similar to the one he felt in the southern area during the day.
“Over there.”
Lin Feng opened his eyes, followed the feeling, walked around the tilted tombstone, pushed aside the half-man-high weeds, and walked to the innermost corner.
There is a tombstone here without a name engraved on it. It looks quite old.
There was a new scratch on the stele, which looked like a feather.
He squatted down and touched the scratch with his fingers. The edge was very neat, as if it had been carved with a sharp tool not long ago.
Moreover, there was still a bit of chakra left in the scratch, which felt exactly the same as that on the black feather.
“Leave a mark? On this nameless monument?” Lin Feng frowned.
He was concentrating on analyzing the marks and residual chakra on the tombstone, trying to find more clues, when the hair on the back of his neck suddenly stood up!
The chakra perception network that had been on alert instantly captured several abnormal fluctuations – like a well-trained hound, five obscure and cold chakra auras were approaching silently and at high speed from different directions, forming a perfect encirclement, targeting himself!
“We’ve been ambushed!” Lin Feng’s heart was shocked. These people’s stealth skills far surpassed those of last night’s attackers.
Lin Feng’s nerves tensed up, but he didn’t turn around immediately. He pretended to still be looking at the tombstone, and his right hand quietly reached for the ninja tool bag on his leg.
Counting down in my mind: “Three, two, one——”
As soon as the last number fell, several dark shadows jumped out from behind the tombstone and under the shadows of the trees!
Lin Feng had been waiting for this. He swung his right hand forward, and [Wind Style: Wind Blade] immediately blew out, forcing the black-clothed man in front of him to retreat half a step. He also used the force to jump back and create some distance.
“It turns out they are coming for me.” Lin Feng landed next to a larger tombstone and quickly glanced around.
Five masked men in black surrounded him. They were dressed similarly to the people in the commercial street last night, but they looked more murderous and their movements were more agile. They were obviously martial artists.
What made Lin Feng’s heart sink was that these people seemed to know what ninjutsu he knew. They didn’t rush to attack him, but dispersed, using tombstones and trees to block their bodies, intending to fight him in a circle.
Lin Feng’s heart trembled: “Do they know that I can use Wind Style? I used it during the Chunin Exam preliminaries, but it was not noticeable that time… Could it be that the battle last night was carefully observed? Or… has the information in the village really been leaked so seriously? Who leaked the news? These guys are targeting me!”
There was no time to think about it. A man in black quickly formed seals with his hands, and the ground beneath his feet suddenly moved. Several arms made of mud emerged from the soil and grabbed Lin Feng’s ankles!
“Earth Style: Heart Decapitation Technique? No, the way chakra flows is different. It’s more like a variant of Earth Style: Earth Prison Binding!” Lin Feng instantly determined that this was not a simple decapitation technique, but a modified binding-type ninjutsu designed to capture alive or restrict movement. The toughness and strength of the mud arms far exceeded those of ordinary earth clones.
He quickly jumped up and dodged those muddy hands. But while he was still in the air, another man in black seized the opportunity and jumped out from the side, stabbing Lin Feng’s waist with a short knife in his hand, accompanied by a gust of wind!
Lin Feng couldn’t dodge in mid-air, so he could only twist his body. The short knife brushed past his clothes, the fabric tore apart with a sizzling sound, and the skin on his waist was burning with pain.
“That was dangerous!” Lin Feng landed and rolled over quickly, avoiding the shuriken from the third person.
The teamwork was great, one move after another, not giving him a chance to catch his breath. What was worse was that they seemed to know his style of play very well, and every time they attacked, they aimed at his open goal.
“We can’t waste time with them.” Lin Feng made a decision immediately. “There are so many of them, and they are so powerful. I don’t know what they want to do. They are probably here to investigate Hei Yu.”
He planned to retreat first, and quickly formed seals with both hands: “Wind Style: Vacuum Jade!”
Several balls of compressed air spurted out of his mouth and hit the men in black surrounding him. When they exploded, they brought up a cloud of dirt and rubble, just blocking their view.
Lin Feng took advantage of the chaos and rushed out of the cemetery, but after a few steps, two men in black suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked the road. He wanted to change direction, but found that other exits were also blocked.
“Damn, they’ve already planned this out!” Lin Feng gritted his teeth, leaned against a big tree, and looked vigilantly at the men in black who were slowly surrounding him.
The moonlight shone on the masks of those people, reflecting a cold light. It was impossible to see their faces, but the murderous aura was getting stronger and stronger. Lin Feng felt a chill on his back – these people were not here to arrest him, but to kill him.
“Who are you? Why are you coming towards me?” Lin Feng asked loudly, quietly gathering chakra in his hands, ready to fight to the death.
The men in black ignored him and slowly surrounded him, the weapons in their hands flashing coldly in the moonlight.
Lin Feng was leaning against a tree, with enemies all around him. This was really troublesome. He still had a lot of chakra, but the five enemies were at least at the level of Chunin, so he had no chance of winning by force.
“It seems like I have no choice but to give it a try.” Lin Feng took a deep breath and moved his fingers quietly, preparing to use a big move.
Lin Feng’s eyes were determined, and the chakra in his body was surging rapidly. He was preparing to activate one of the most powerful means rewarded by the system in a desperate fight.
At the critical moment, a dazzling silver flash tore through the night sky, like a falling meteor. With a sharp “swoosh” sound, and with unparalleled momentum, it accurately nailed to the ground between Lin Feng and the two men in black at the front of the encirclement!
It was a peculiarly shaped kunai with a special talisman tied to the handle. It was vibrating slightly and emitting heart-pounding spatial fluctuations.
Chapter 10: Flying Thunder God Descends from the Sky to Rescue His Disciple (Old Version)
The special kunai was deeply embedded in the soil, and the strange runes engraved on it glowed a faint blue light under the moonlight. Lin Feng stared at the kunai, and his heart almost stopped beating – he was very familiar with the runes, which were the marks of the legendary forbidden technique [Flying Thunder God Technique] created by the Second Hokage and perfected by the Fourth Hokage!
The next second, the space seemed to be torn apart, and accompanied by a slight fluctuation of air flow, a figure appeared out of thin air next to the kunai – silver hair, mask, vertical scar on the left eye, and the Sharingan that was now exposed.
“Teacher Kakashi!” Lin Feng exclaimed.
Kakashi put one hand in his pocket and easily retrieved the Flying Thunder God Kunai with the other hand, standing in front of Lin Feng. His posture seemed casual, but it blocked all attack routes. The five black-clothed men around him paused and their positions became chaotic for a short time. They obviously did not expect the sudden appearance of this elite jonin of Konoha.
“Students who besieged me in the cemetery late at night,” Kakashi looked around and said in a low and cold voice, “It seems that the lesson I taught you last night was not enough.”
The leading black-clad man slowly stood up and said in a hoarse voice: “Ninja Kakashi… variables beyond the plan.”
He did not retreat, but raised his right hand and made a strange gesture. The other four immediately adjusted their positions and formed a circle again, surrounding Lin Feng and Kakashi. Lin Feng noticed the change in their positions – the original attack formation against a single person was transformed into a defensive counterattack formation against multiple powerful enemies. They were well-trained and shocking.
“Teacher,” Lin Feng took the opportunity to catch his breath and reported in a low voice, “These people have a clear target on me. They are very strong and have good coordination. Moreover, their attacks are very targeted. They seem to be prepared for my commonly used wind escape technique!”
Kakashi nodded: “Got it. You should recover your chakra first and pay attention to the support.”
He lifted up his forehead protector, completely revealing the three-magatama Sharingan in his left eye, the red light was particularly eye-catching in the darkness. Lin Feng felt the chakra flow around Kakashi accelerate, and his fighting aura suddenly became sharper.
“It takes five people to besiege my student. You really think highly of me.” Just as Kakashi finished speaking, two men in black suddenly jumped up and attacked him from the left and right at an astonishing speed.
Kakashi didn’t move, and didn’t move until the two men were in the best attack range. At the same time, he formed a seal with his right hand: “Lightning Release: Thunder Beast Chasing Fang!”
Lightning gathered in his palm, transforming into a roaring thunder wolf, and pounced on the enemy on the left. The man in black hurriedly formed a seal: “Earth Escape – Earth Flowing Wall!”
The thick earth wall was smashed to pieces by the Thunder Wolf as soon as it rose. The electric current spread along the moist soil. The man in black barely avoided the main impact, but was still hit in the shoulder by the aftermath and staggered back.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the other three men in black bypassed Kakashi and went straight for Lin Feng. The leader quickly formed seals with both hands: “Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet!”
Lin Feng gritted his teeth and managed to gather his chakra: “Wind Style: Fierce Wind Palm!”
The strong wind blew towards the water dragon, breaking it into countless water droplets. However, the second man in black had already rushed over from the side, condensing a black chakra blade in his hand and piercing Lin Feng’s heart.
“It’s too late!” Lin Feng’s pupils contracted, and he felt a sense of crisis.
In a flash, Lin Feng crossed his hands and formed a seal: “Advanced Shadow Clone Technique!”
A figure exactly like him appeared out of nowhere, not only blocking in front of him, but also suddenly throwing out a kunai with wind-attribute chakra at the moment the chakra blade was about to stab!
“Puchi!” The black blade pierced through the clone’s chest, but the kunai also forced the attacker to dodge sideways, giving Lin Feng’s real body the opportunity to throw out a wind blade to force the enemy back.
The shadow clone turned into smoke and dissipated. Lin Feng took the opportunity to flip over and leap backwards, creating some distance.
“Shadow clone?!” The attacking man in black was forced back. Looking at the dissipating smoke, his tone was full of surprise and a hint of solemnity. “A clone of this strength… the intelligence is wrong!”
Kakashi caught a glimpse of the shadow clone that Lin Feng used, and was as surprised as his enemy: “This kid… has made rapid progress. Where did he learn to use shadow clones of this level?”
Without time to think, Kakashi formed seals with both hands as fast as lightning: “Lightning Style: Chidori!”
Amid the piercing sound of birds chirping, his right hand was wrapped in dazzling lightning, and he went straight for the throat of a man in black. The man hurriedly retreated, and his companion took the opportunity to form a seal: “Earth Escape·Earthquake Core!”
The ground shook violently, and Kakashi had to interrupt his attack and jump away from the cracked ground. Lin Feng was also shaken and could not stand steadily. A man in black took the opportunity to bully him and quickly formed seals with his hands: “Wind Style: Vacuum Bullet!”
The compressed gas bullet went straight to Lin Feng’s face. He barely dodged it by leaning to the side. The gas bullet flew past his ear and blew up a tombstone behind him. Lin Feng staggered when he landed, and a bloody mark was cut on his right arm by the gravel.
“Lin Feng!” Kakashi shouted, while forming seals with both hands, “Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique!”
A huge fire dragon spewed out of Kakashi’s mouth, forcing back the enemies besieging Lin Feng and giving him some breathing space. Lin Feng quickly jumped to Kakashi’s side, and the two stood back to back, facing the five men in black who had readjusted their formation.
“Teacher, I’m not in good condition.” Lin Feng said breathlessly.
“It’s okay,” Kakashi replied, “Wait for my command.”
Lin Feng understood immediately: “Okay.”
The five men in black also noticed something was wrong, and one of them shouted, “Do it!” The five of them started to form seals at the same time.
“Now!” Kakashi shouted.
He formed seals with his hands and released Fire Style, and at the same time swung out the Flying Thunder God Kunai, piercing straight into the crowd opposite.
Lin Feng also immediately formed a seal: “Wind Style: Vacuum Jade!”
Several compressed air bullets spewed out from his mouth, combining perfectly with the fire escape technique released by Kakashi at the same time. The fire suddenly surged, forming a blazing wall of fire, forcing the men in black to disperse and avoid it.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kakashi formed a seal with one hand and disappeared from the spot. The next second, he appeared in the center of the enemy camp through the Flying Thunder God technique, and used the Raikiri in his hand to attack the strongest man in black. The man obviously did not expect this move, and dodged in a hurry, but a deep wound was still cut on his chest, and blood gushed out.
“Captain!” another man in black exclaimed, and immediately formed seals to prepare for support, but Lin Feng seized the opportunity and hit him in the back with a wind escape move, causing him to stagger forward.
Kakashi did not stop, his Sharingan accurately captured every move of the enemy, and his physical skills and ninjutsu were seamlessly connected, in just a few seconds he severely injured another person. The remaining three people saw that the situation was not good and immediately retreated.
“Retreat!” The injured captain covered his chest, his voice hoarse from the pain. Two of his companions immediately stepped forward to support him, while the other two threw several smoke bombs and kunai mixed with detonating tags at the same time, creating chaos to cover their evacuation to the depths of the cemetery.
“Damn it!” Kakashi frowned, his Sharingan detected that the enemy’s retreat route was not a straight line, and there was a hint of unusual chakra fluctuations in the air, as if there was a response.
Lin Feng suddenly groaned and knelt on one knee.
“What’s wrong?” Kakashi quickly returned to Lin Feng.
“It’s okay,” Lin Feng shook his head and stood up with the help of the tombstone, “I consumed too much chakra, plus the attack just now, I can’t hold on any longer.”
Kakashi glanced at Lin Feng’s pale face and the wound on his arm, then glanced at the direction where the enemy disappeared and the unusual chakra fluctuations, and quickly made a judgment: “The enemy is well prepared, and may have a backup plan. Don’t chase after a desperate enemy. Your condition needs treatment, so leave here first.”
He helped Lin Feng up, scanned the surroundings vigilantly with his Sharingan to confirm that there was no threat for the time being, and then quickly left the cemetery with Lin Feng.
In the moonlight, two figures passed between the tombstones, leaving only a few drops of blood and scattered burnt grass on the ground.
However, in the shadow of a broken tombstone, a black feather quietly fell down, with a strange rune faintly visible on it, emitting a faint and cold chakra fluctuation under the moonlight…
Chapter 11 Master and Disciple Talk at Night to Find the Ghost (Old Version)
The night wind blew through the quiet streets of Konoha Village, bringing a little coolness.
Kakashi didn’t take Lin Feng to a crowded place like Konoha Hospital, but took a shortcut and went straight back to his own small apartment.
The furnishings in the room are extremely simple. Apart from the necessary furniture, there are almost no extra objects. There is only a potted plant by the window that seems to be neglected but still grows tenaciously. There are a few sealed scrolls piled haphazardly in the corner, exuding the same aura as its owner, with a sharp edge hidden in the casualness.
“Have a seat.” Kakashi pointed to the cushion beside the low table and turned around to look for the medical kit. His movements were quick and efficient, not at all like his usual slowness.
His reaction showed that the matter was serious, and the relief that Lin Feng had just felt in his heart sank.
Kakashi squatted down and carefully untied the strips of cloth that were randomly wrapped around Lin Feng’s arms.
The wound wasn’t very deep, but there was a very faint black mark around the edge, like ink spreading, which didn’t look like a good sign.
Kakashi’s expression suddenly changed. He took out a tube of dark green ointment from the medical box, dipped a little with a cotton swab, and applied it carefully to the edge of the wound.
“Hiss…” The ointment felt a little stinging when it touched the wound, but soon it became cool.
“Bear with it, it might be poisonous. Apply this ointment first.” Kakashi said in a muffled voice without even raising his head.
“Tell me, why did you run to a cemetery in the middle of the night to die? What’s wrong with your brain?” Kakashi asked coldly while treating his wounds, with obvious anger in his words.
Lin Feng didn’t say anything. He took out the crumpled note from his pocket and handed it to him: “This, I found it this afternoon. I think the matter of ‘Black Feather’ is not simple, and I think it may be a clue.”
He told Kakashi everything about picking up the black feather, noticing something strange in the South District, and seeing the feather marks on the nameless tombstone tonight.
Kakashi listened without stopping his work, but the expression on his face became more and more unsightly, and finally his brows were almost twisted together.
“Pah!” Kakashi threw the bloody cotton swab into the trash can with a little force. He raised his head, and the usual laziness in the exposed eye was gone, leaving only cold sharpness and a hint of fear and anger hidden deep inside: “Tell me, why?”
“Even if you have some adventures and master some special ninjutsu that others don’t know, it’s not something you can gamble your life on!”
“Do you know how dangerous tonight is? If I had arrived a step later, you would be a new nameless tombstone in the cemetery!”
Kakashi’s voice was not loud, but each word was heavy and carried a hint of anger and fear.
He paused for a moment, as if catching his breath, before continuing, “Those men in black, you only saw the surface. They didn’t use their full strength at all, they were still hiding! There must be a big problem behind this.”
Kakashi’s words were like a bucket of ice water poured down on Lin Feng, causing his heart to skip a beat and a chill to run down his spine.
Not using your full strength?
Those men in black who cooperated well with each other and whose moves were deadly actually left some room for maneuver?
Their restraint in their wind escape was definitely not accidental… Lin Feng’s mind was a little confused. Besides the fear, a deeper sense of fear rose in his heart – how much of his information had been leaked?
Who was that traitor? The image of the nameless tombstone with feathers carved on it lingered in front of his eyes, intertwined with the shadow of the “traitor”.
The Black Feather Organization… Konoha Village… the hidden secrets… Could it be something in the village that cannot be seen in the light, or someone who has been deliberately forgotten?
“Let me ask you something,” Kakashi suddenly changed the subject, his eyes sharp, “Did those guys who beat you tonight come after your Wind Style?”
Lin Feng was shocked, and after thinking about it carefully, he realized that the opponent had indeed made several moves that just happened to restrain or calculate his wind escape.
He nodded blankly.
Kakashi’s face darkened completely: “That’s right. Someone sold your information. There is a traitor in Konoha.”
“A traitor?!” Lin Feng screamed, his heart beating wildly, almost jumping out of his chest.
He instantly thought of the endless conspiracies and betrayals in Konoha in the original work. From the Root to the Akatsuki organization, the existence of internal traitors is commonplace! Could it be that he was involved in such a vortex so quickly? He suppressed his chaotic thoughts and asked hurriedly: “Does the Third Hokage know about this matter?”
Kakashi shook his head slowly and lowered his voice: “Now we are the only ones investigating in secret. We cannot make it public. We have to keep it a secret even from the Hokage. No one knows…how high this traitor has climbed.”
The meaning of these words was so strong that Lin Feng felt a chill on his back.
Kakashi took out a small scroll the size of a palm from his ninja tool bag and handed it to Lin Feng.
The scroll is black and has no markings.
“This is the emergency contact scroll I used when I was in the Anbu. You can contact me using chakra. But remember this, don’t use it without a letter or unless you have no other choice! And don’t go out there alone again!”
Neither of them spoke, each digesting the information they had just received.
Lin Feng rubbed his temples, and suddenly an idea came to his mind: “Teacher, that nameless tombstone you mentioned, could it be… someone who was deleted from the village’s records? Or, is it related to this Black Feather Organization?”
Kakashi looked at him deeply, his eyes were quite complicated: “Konoha is a place with more depth than what you see. There are many things that even I am not qualified to touch. However, since you have already got involved, you must keep your eyes open and think faster. Okay, stop thinking about it. There is a mission tomorrow. Go back and have a good rest and get enough energy.”
Lin Feng dragged his exhausted body back to his home, closed the door, leaned his back against the door and slowly slid down to the ground.
What happened tonight was too exciting and too dangerous.
The traitor, the enemy with hidden strength, the mysterious Black Feather Organization, the tombstone without a name… these things are like an invisible net, quietly covering Konoha.
【bite!】
[Hidden mission: Don’t back down in the face of death. Completed! ][Task evaluation: B+ (although reckless, courage is commendable)][Reward: Advanced lottery chance x1]The system’s voice rang in his mind, and Lin Feng’s spirits perked up a little.
“Finally, some good news!” He didn’t hesitate and directly chose the lottery.
The turntable spun rapidly and finally stopped on a grid emitting a soft white light.
[Congratulations to the host for winning the skill: Chakra Perception Enhancement (Passive)! ][Skill Effect: Greatly increases the host’s perception range and accuracy of chakra, enabling a clearer distinction of the properties, strengths, and subtle fluctuations of different chakras.]A cool breath instantly permeated his limbs and bones, as if brushing away the dust from his senses. The world became different in his “eyes”, and the originally vague chakra flow in the air became clear and distinct, like the star tracks in the night sky.
He could even vaguely “hear” the faint fluctuations of chakra from the ninja patrolling the streets in the distance and the subtle sounds of water flowing in the pipes in the next room. The outlines and details of the entire world came alive as never before.
The originally blurry environmental chakra now became extremely clear, and one could even feel the faint chakra fluctuations of the patrolling ninja in the distance.
“Oh my god! This ability comes at the perfect time!” Lin Feng almost jumped up.
With this, it is much easier to use whether you are chasing someone or guarding against a sneak attack!
He clenched his fists. The exhaustion and fear he had just felt were somewhat diluted by the excitement of his new ability, but they did not completely disappear.
Traitor? Black Feather Organization? This pool of water is deeper than imagined… But, come on! A sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself: I have a cheat, who is afraid of me!
Chapter 12: The Mysterious Disappearance in Qingliu Village (Old Version)
Early the next morning, sunlight shone into the Hokage’s office through the window, and the fine dust floating in the air was clearly visible.
When Lin Feng pushed the door open, Naruto was already there. He was circling around the old desk of the Third Hokage, which was piled with scrolls, and his voice was buzzing.
“Hey old man! How long will it take to catch a cat? This is not a job for a ninja!”
“Give us some powerful mission! S-level! No, SSS-level is fine too! For example, protecting the princess of a daimyo family!”
“I want to do big things! How can a man who wants to be Hokage get at odds with Mao Mao every day!” He shouted while waving his fists wildly, almost sweeping several documents on the corner of the table to the ground.
Sasuke leaned against the opposite wall, his hands in his trouser pockets, still looking cold.
However, his dark eyes swept across Lin Feng’s bandaged right arm imperceptibly. His sharp gaze paused for half a second, and his brows knitted imperceptibly. A trace of inquiring coldness passed through his eyes, so fast that it seemed like an illusion, and then he returned to that cold and distant look.
This guy is quite perceptive, he might have noticed something is wrong.
Sakura was the most attentive. She came over immediately, her big round eyes full of worry.
“Lin Feng, what’s wrong with your arm? Is it injured? Is it serious?” She stretched her neck to get a closer look.
Lin Feng grinned, trying to make his voice sound relaxed.
“Ah, it’s okay, I was so focused on practicing wind shurikens yesterday that I accidentally scraped against a tree. It’s just a minor injury, nothing serious.”
He made up a reason. Xiaoying was obviously a little unconvinced and curled her lips suspiciously, but seeing that Lin Feng didn’t want to say more, she didn’t ask any more questions, which was quite considerate.
Naruto was still clamoring for a mission when the office door was pushed open again.
Kakashi walked in with messy silver hair, the eye that was not blocked by the forehead protector was half open, and he yawned lazily.
“Oh, sorry, sorry, I met an old lady on the road and she insisted that I help her cross the road, so I was delayed for a while.”
It was the same old excuse for being late. The three kids from Class 7 gave him a look in unison, a mixture of speechlessness and “I’ll never believe you”.
Kakashi pretended not to see it. He walked to the desk, put away his casual look for once, and stood up a little straighter.
“Okay, everyone, be quiet. We have a special mission today, and it’s not something you can do with D-level tasks like catching cats and playing with dogs.”
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had been holding a pipe in his mouth and seemed to be in a trance in the smoke, slowly raised his head at this time.
The old man’s face was full of wrinkles, all showing the traces of time, but his eyes were very sharp at this moment, without the usual turbidity, and revealed a rare seriousness and solemnity.
“Class 7.” His voice was not loud, but it carried a lot of weight.
“Your mission is to set off immediately to the border village ‘Aoyagi Village’ southeast of Konoha to investigate the strange things that have happened there recently. Reports say that people have been missing in the village one after another.”
Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat and the muscles in his back tensed up all of a sudden.
He clearly saw that when the Third Hokage spoke, his eyes glanced at Kakashi intentionally or unintentionally, and Kakashi hardly moved, only his chin moved very slightly.
This almost imperceptible exchange made Lin Feng understand instantly – this mission was definitely related to the attack in the cemetery last night and the mysterious “Black Feather” organization! They were definitely coming for them!
Or… was it someone in the village who deliberately arranged this mission? Was it a trap, or were the Sandaime and the teacher trying to lure the snake out of its hole?
“Ohhh! Finally, a serious mission!”
Naruto immediately came to life on the spot, almost jumping up with excitement, clenching his fists, looking like he couldn’t wait to rush out and fight.
Sasuke remained calm, and spoke in a cold voice.
“Where is the exact location of the village? Who are the missing people? How many are there?”
All the questions he asked were crucial. This kid’s brain is really quick.
The Third Hokage seemed to be about to explain in detail, but his eyes glanced out the window inadvertently.
A message pigeon flapped its wings and flew right past the window.
The old man immediately changed the topic, sounding a little deliberate.
“Kakashi will tell you the details on the way.”
“Remember, this mission is temporarily classified as C-level, but the situation may change at any time. Be alert and proceed with caution.”
The group received the order and left the Hokage Building.
As soon as he walked into the shadow outside the building, Lin Feng’s mind moved, and he quietly activated the passive skill he had just acquired last night – enhanced chakra perception.
All of a sudden, the world around him felt completely different to him.
The originally vague flow of chakra in the air now becomes extremely clear, and the direction of every trace of energy can be felt.
He “senses” it immediately, like a few cold poisonous snakes lurking in the shadow of the street corner not far away, and behind the half-open window on the second floor of the teahouse opposite – at least three unfamiliar chakras!
They exuded a cold, sticky smell, with an undisguised probing intent, like invisible tentacles, tightly entwined and locked onto them.
He is the one who is watching! And he is quite powerful!
Kakashi, who was walking in front, didn’t stop at all. He was still so lazy that he was about to fall asleep, as if he didn’t feel anything.
But the pupil of his exposed eye shrank ever so slightly.
This experienced jonin apparently noticed something was wrong immediately.
He led the four children and walked slowly towards the village entrance, speaking in a very low voice that only the five of them could hear.
“It seems that some unclean rats have indeed sneaked into the village. We will leave the village as planned, and talk as we walk. Don’t look back and don’t alarm them.”
Leaving the bustling streets of Konoha Village and stepping onto the dirt road leading to the border, the surroundings gradually became quiet.
Kakashi then slowed down a bit and began to explain the mission in detail.
“Destination: Qingliu Village. In the past three months, seven villagers have disappeared from the village.”
“The disappearances all happened at night. There were no signs of a fight or someone breaking in at the scene. It was as if the people just disappeared into thin air.”
“The most recent disappearance happened just three days ago.”
Lin Feng listened carefully while maintaining his chakra perception.
He carefully probed behind him.
Fortunately, those cold, probing chakras did not follow out of the village.
Lin Feng felt slightly relieved, but then his heart tensed up again – they didn’t catch up because their target was only within the village?
Or was this part of the plan, and the network had already been laid out ahead of them, or was there a “ghost” in the village passing on information in some other way? This made him not dare to relax at all.
“Teacher Kakashi,” Sakura frowned slightly and asked a question, “If only a few ordinary villagers were missing, even if there were more people, according to the rules, the village guards or Chunin should be sent to investigate first, right? You sent our Team 7 directly, and asked you to lead the team in person to carry out a C-rank mission… Is there something more important that we don’t know about?”
Kakashi turned his head, with a hint of approval in his uncovered eye.
“Very observant, Sakura. Yes, there is more to it than meets the eye.”
He deliberately lowered his voice, and the only sound around him was the rustling of leaves in the wind, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
“When the chief of Qingliu Village commissioned the project, he specifically mentioned a detail.”
“More than one villager said that around the time someone went missing, they saw a ‘big shadow with black wings’ flying past at night in the mountains near the village.”
“Moreover, according to the missing list given by the village chief, those seven people are all people recognized by the village as having more chakra than ordinary villagers.”
Black wings! These three words hit Lin Feng’s heart like a hammer!
He raised his head suddenly and his eyes met Sasuke’s.
There was still no expression on Sasuke’s face, but a hint of coldness and fierceness flashed clearly in his bottomless black eyes, which was an instinctive alertness to the dark aura.
Without saying a word, the two of them instantly understood what the other was thinking – this matter was definitely related to the “Black Feather” organization that attacked Lin Feng last night!
Lin Feng’s heart sank: It’s them! Sasuke’s eyes flickered: Another one of these guys who hide their heads and show their tails…
Lin Feng clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh, causing some pain.
The Black Feather Organization… What on earth are you? Are you a cancer hiding in the shadows of Konoha?
This time, no matter how deep you hide, I will find you out!
He was holding back a fierce feeling in his heart.
Chapter 13: The Evil Spell Hidden in the Strange Village of Qingliu (Old Version)
After walking for most of the day, the four people from Class 7 finally arrived at the edge of Qingliu Village.
As soon as Lin Feng stepped into the village, his brows furrowed.
It’s too quiet here, so quiet it’s eerie.
You can’t hear the birds singing or the insects buzzing, and even the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves seems particularly irritating to the ears.
The whole village seemed to be covered by something and was dead silent.
“Everyone, be careful.” Kakashi’s voice was low, breaking the suffocating silence.
He pointed to the trunks of some large trees on the side of the road and said, “Look there.”
There were several black marks on the bark, and the edges were curled up, as if it had been burned or corroded by something.
Lin Feng quickly used the [Chakra Perception Enhancement] he had just acquired.
He “looked” over and found that there was indeed a little bit of chakra left in those black marks. It was very weak, but the cold and strange energy was a bit similar to the feeling of the group of people who attacked him in the cemetery last night.
Several people exchanged glances with each other, and were all cautious.
After entering the village, you can see a few villagers scattered on the street.
When these people saw the Konoha forehead guards on Kakashi and the others’ heads, their expressions immediately changed and became quite complicated.
There was happiness, as if I had seen a savior, but more of it was the fear that reached deep into my bones, and the vigilance and unwelcomeness that I could not hide.
There were even a few villagers who, when they made eye contact, panicked and shrank back into their homes, slamming the door shut, like rabbits seeing an eagle.
An old man with white hair but a straight back came out.
He had a smile on his face and was quite enthusiastic, saying he was the village chief.
But Lin Feng had sharp eyes and could tell at once that beneath the old man’s eyes, which looked energetic, there was an irrepressible nervousness and anxiety, and the knuckles of the hand holding the cane were so white from being pinched.
“Oh, the adults of Konoha are finally here! Please come in, please come in!” The village chief greeted them warmly.
“Village head, Kakashi-sensei has already given us a general idea on the way.” Lin Feng did not beat around the bush, “Can you tell us in detail how the person disappeared?”
As soon as the disappearance was mentioned, the smile on the village chief’s face immediately disappeared and his voice became low and hoarse.
“Alas… those missing people all went out at night and never came back.”
“There was no sign of a person alive or dead, not even a sign of a struggle. It was as if the person had vanished into thin air.”
He paused, his voice filled with obvious fear, “The scariest thing is that every time someone goes missing, you’ll definitely find a black feather on the big rock at the entrance to the village the next morning.”
Black feathers!
Lin Feng and Kakashi looked at each other and understood what the other was thinking.
This matter has to do with the Black Feather Organization.
“Grandpa Village Chief,” Lin Feng continued to ask, “are there any connections between these missing people? For example, do they live close to each other? Or are there any special places?”
There was an obvious flash of hesitation in the old man’s cloudy eyes. His lips moved several times before he finally spoke with great difficulty.
“They…they are all the people selected this year to worship ‘Field God’.”
“Tagan?” Naruto was curious.
“This is the god that our village has believed in since ancient times. He blesses our fields with good harvests.” The village chief explained, “Every year after the harvest, we have to select a few young people with ‘good roots’ to hold a sacrificial ceremony. But this year… Alas, the people who were selected have disappeared one after another. Now the villagers are scared. They all say that the god of the field is angry and wants to take away the sacrifices…”
Kakashi thought about it and made arrangements.
“Well, let’s check separately and quickly.”
“Naruto and I will go to the house where the embarrassment was finally done and the entrance of the village to look for clues.”
“Sasuke, Sakura, the two of you go ask the villagers and see if you can find out more. Be careful with the way you speak.”
“Lin Feng,” Kakashi looked at him, “Go to the village chief’s house and the place where the sacrifice is held in the middle of the village. We will meet at the village chief’s house before dark.”
“Yes!” All four of them responded.
Lin Feng followed the village chief to the center of the village.
There is indeed a very old small shrine here.
Inside the shrine, there is a strange-looking statue – half human, half bird. Its face cannot be seen clearly, but there is a pair of open wings carved on its back.
There are some old-fashioned words engraved on the base of the statue, most of which have been worn out and cannot be seen clearly.
Lin Feng was looking at the statue carefully, and his [Enhanced Chakra Perception] suddenly felt some unusual fluctuations!
The vibration was coming from underground behind the shrine!
Although it was very weak, the cold energy was exactly the same as the chakra I felt on the tree trunk and the black feathers before!
There’s something down there!
Lin Feng glanced around calmly and saw that the village chief had left and there was no one else nearby.
He quickly formed a few seals with his hands.
“Advanced Shadow Clone Technique!”
A shadow clone that looked exactly like him appeared, walked to the entrance of the shrine, pretending to be looking at something, but actually he was on guard.
Lin Feng quickly went around to the back of the shrine, found the place where the chakra was fluctuating, squatted down, took out the kunai and dug down carefully.
The soil was dug up layer by layer.
After digging about half a meter deep, the kunai hit something hard.
Lin Feng’s heart moved and he quickened his movements. Soon, a small rusty iron box the size of a palm came out.
He checked carefully and made sure there were no traps before opening the box.
Inside the box, there lay quietly an old scroll made of special leather and a black feather, which were extremely well preserved!
The feather was as black as ink, with a strange glow on its surface. What made Lin Feng’s eyelids jump was that at the base of the feather, there were a few very small runes painted with unknown pigment. They were exactly the same as the runes on the nameless tombstone in the cemetery last night and on the back of the note!
He quickly unrolled the scroll.
The words on the scroll were complicated and difficult to understand, but by looking at the picture, Lin Feng still understood the general idea.
This is actually an evil forbidden technique that absorbs the chakra of specific people (especially those with more chakra) to make oneself stronger!
At the end of the scroll, it was clearly written that the person who used this forbidden technique was called – “Black Feather Messenger”!
“So that’s what’s going on!” Lin Feng’s heart was in turmoil.
The missing villagers, the people with chakra, the candidates for sacrifice, the black feathers, the forbidden techniques…all these clues were connected together in an instant!
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a sudden and urgent warning from the shadow clone at the entrance of the shrine – someone is coming! And there is more than one!
Lin Feng’s face changed, and he immediately stuffed the iron box, scroll and feather into the ninja tool bag, then quickly filled the dug hole and smoothed out the traces.
As soon as he finished doing this, he flashed and hid in a dense bush behind the shrine, while releasing his shadow clone.
After a while, the village chief appeared at the entrance of the shrine, followed by three men, all wearing the clothes of ordinary villagers.
Although they were dressed like the villagers, Lin Feng’s [Enhanced Chakra Perception] clearly told him that the chakra in these three people’s bodies was much stronger than that of ordinary people, and the way the chakra flowed was obviously trained, they were definitely ninjas!
What made Lin Feng even more nervous was that the chakra fluctuations in one of the men of medium height were surprisingly similar to those of the man in black who attacked him in the cemetery last night!
They do have problems!
The village chief led the three “villagers” directly into the shrine.
Chapter 14: Sneaking into the Shrine and Exploring the Secret Room (Old Version)
Lin Feng lowered his body, pressing himself against the dense bushes behind the shrine, not even daring to breathe heavily.
My heart is beating so hard, it makes a thumping sound.
He held his breath, concentrated his chakra, and activated [Chakra Perception Enhancement] with all his strength.
He had a vague idea of ​​what was happening in the shrine.
It was dim inside, with only a few flickering oil lamps, and the old paintings on the wall looked dim.
The air smelled of rotten wood, mixed with an indescribable sweet fragrance that was a bit nauseating.
The aroma wafted from an old copper incense burner in the middle. The incense sticks were burning, emitting strange green smoke that swirled upwards.
This place makes people feel uncomfortable and suffocated!
Lin Feng’s heart was pounding, but he was also really curious about what was going on.
Damn it, let’s fight!
He subconsciously touched the ninja tool bag with his fingers, and when he touched the cool black feather scroll, he felt a little more at ease. At least he had a trump card.
In the shrine, the sound of several people talking could be heard intermittently.
First came the cautious, slightly fawning tone of the village chief, but it was soon drowned out by three completely different voices.
The three men dressed in villagers’ clothes no longer looked like honest country folk.
They sat on the mats quite casually, speaking in an arrogant and impatient tone.
“Old man, hurry up, the ‘master’ is waiting for you.”
A tall man drummed his fingers on the table impatiently.
“When will the next batch of ‘sacrifices’ be ready? We need enough this time, and there can’t be any more problems!”
Another guy with a pointed chin and monkey face said in a cold voice. When he mentioned the word “sacrifice”, his voice was frighteningly flat. There was no human touch in his voice. It sounded more like he was talking about a dead object.
The village chief’s back, which was originally quite straight, was now completely bent, with sweat on his forehead, and his voice was trembling: “Yes, yes, sir, please don’t be angry, I have already urged them… it’s… it’s those damn Konoha ninjas recently…”
“Humph, Konoha’s lackey, your nose is quite sharp!”
The man of medium height snorted coldly, his words full of disdain for Konoha.
He tapped his knees unconsciously with his fingers and mumbled something.
Lin Feng’s chakra sense captured those sounds – “When the night owl cries…”
This code is somewhat similar to the one the black-clad man who attacked him last night muttered as he ran away!
Sure enough, it was someone from the Black Feather Organization! Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat, he guessed it right.
These bastards, are they treating this entire village as a cattle shed?
These thoughts were churning in Lin Feng’s mind. Perhaps he was too excited, and his body moved slightly, rubbing against the leaves of the bushes, making a slight sound.
The sound was not loud, but it could be heard clearly at the back of this quiet shrine.
“who?!”
In the shrine, the man of medium height suddenly turned his head, his eyes suddenly became very sharp, and he locked onto the place where Lin Feng was hiding!
Damn it! Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat, and he felt the hairs on his back stand up!
The man stood up and walked towards the back of the shrine step by step. His steps were steady and filled with murderous intent.
He was about to reach the bushes!
Lin Feng’s mind was racing, and he instantly recalled an auxiliary physical skill that he had won in a lottery not long ago. Although he hadn’t fully mastered it yet, he couldn’t care less at the moment!
He immediately mobilized his chakra and imitated the man’s movements. His body seemed to be lifted up by a breeze. Just before the man reached out to push aside the bushes, he used his clumsy skills and the cover of the surrounding environment to slide silently into the shadow on the side of the shrine!
That was a close call!
The man suspiciously flipped through the bushes and looked around, but found nothing.
“Feeling wrong?” He muttered with a frown.
Lin Feng hid in the shadow of the wall, his heartbeat still not calming down.
He didn’t dare relax, knowing that the guy would definitely become suspicious.
We have to find a way to lure them away.
He quickly glanced around and saw a few broken pottery jars piled in the corner.
He quietly picked up a small stone, took aim, and flicked his finger.
“Pah!”
A crisp sound spread in the silence.
“What’s that sound?”
Several people in the shrine were immediately attracted over.
“Damn, is there a wild cat?”
The man of medium build walked towards the sound, cursing.
Chance!
While all the people’s attention was on the pottery jar, Lin Feng quickly stuck to the wall and slipped towards the side door of the shrine.
When passing by the door, his [Enhanced Chakra Perception] vaguely felt that there was an extremely subtle difference in chakra flow somewhere below the door frame and the other walls, and it seemed that it was not solid.
His heart moved, and he casually touched and explored the area near the sensed area with his fingers, and sure enough, he pressed a tiny bump.
With a soft “click” sound, a stone slab of similar color to the wall next to the side door slowly slid inwards, revealing a narrow opening that was just big enough for a person to squeeze in!
Underground passage?! Lin Feng was stunned for a moment. This luck is too good!
He didn’t think much and went in immediately.
The slate slowly closed behind him, and the light and sound outside suddenly disappeared.
A cold, wet breath with a strong earthy smell came over.
The passage was very narrow and one had to lean sideways to pass through it. The walls were slippery and covered with moss.
With the dim light from the miniature lighting scroll in the ninja tool bag, Lin Feng saw that the wall was engraved with old winding patterns.
Some of the symbols looked very similar to the runes on the black feather scroll he found!
There is no doubt about it, this must be a hideout of the Black Feather Organization!
He suppressed the shock in his heart and walked down the stone steps on tiptoe.
After walking for about a few dozen meters, the road ahead suddenly became more spacious.
The passage leads to a circular underground stone chamber.
There is an altar made of black stone in the middle of the stone chamber. There seem to be some dark red marks on the altar and there is a faint smell of blood.
There were exactly seven white candles lit around the altar, no more, no less!
The candlelight flickered dimly, making the empty stone chamber even more eerie.
Seven candles…just happen to be seven missing villagers!
Lin Feng understood at once that this place was probably where they performed “sacrifices”!
He quickly memorized the appearance of the basement.
There were faint sounds of footsteps and voices coming from overhead!
“…Go down and have a look, make sure there is nothing wrong…”
It was the voices of those fake villagers just now!
They are coming down!
Lin Feng’s heart tightened and he couldn’t stay any longer.
He immediately turned off the light and, relying on his memory, quickly retreated the same way.
He carefully pushed open the stone mechanism, looked outside to see that there was no one, and then quickly slipped out of the shrine.
He walked around the village, deliberately slowing down his pace and paying attention to his surroundings.
This time, he felt more clearly that the eyes that occasionally looked at him from behind the door and windows were not only full of fear and dislike, but also contained some unconcealable hostility!
It seemed as if he was the outsider who caused the trouble.
This village has big problems!
When Lin Feng arrived at the village chief’s house, Kakashi and the other three were already waiting there, each looking uglier than the last.
“How is it? What did you find?” Kakashi spoke first.
Naruto looked angry: “The homes of those missing villagers all showed signs of being turned over, and there are really black feathers on the big rock at the entrance of the village!”
Sasuke added with a cold face: “Most of the villagers we asked refused to say, but a few children secretly told us that they saw strange ‘people with black wings’ flying in the village at night.”
Sakura spread out a simple map and said, “We found that the seven missing families happened to be in seven different locations in the village. They seemed to surround the shrine in the middle of the village.”
Listening to his companions’ findings, Lin Feng took a deep breath and told them everything he had seen and heard in the shrine, as well as about the underground secret room and the seven candles. Finally, he took out the black feather scroll with runes.
When all the clues were put together, a cold and cruel truth surfaced, making everyone in Team 7 feel sad.
This seemingly peaceful village has long become the base of the Black Feather Organization. The disappearance of villagers and the so-called sacrifices all point to an evil conspiracy!
Chapter 15 Shocking Conspiracy: Village Chief Revealed (Old Version)
It was stuffy in the side room of the village chief’s house and no one spoke.
The oil lamp on the table was flickering with flames, and the light and shadows cast on their faces, making everyone look grim.
“These bastards! We won’t let them off!” Naruto slammed his fist on the table, causing the oil lamp to shake. “Using living people as sacrifices? I’ll beat them to a pulp!”
“Calm down, Naruto.” Sasuke’s voice was as cold as ice. “There’s no point getting angry now. We need to find out what they want to do and how many people there are.” He glanced at the black feather scroll that Lin Feng took out. “This kind of evil magic doesn’t look like a small character.”
“Sasuke is right, but I understand how Naruto feels…” Sakura tried to ease the situation, but she clenched her fists as well, “Those villagers are so miserable…”
Lin Feng described in detail what he saw in the basement of the shrine, especially the altar and the seven candles.
When he mentioned the runes on the scroll and the marks on the walls of the underground passage, Kakashi, who had been silent, seemed to have something flashing in his exposed eye, with a bit of vigilance and worry. Although it disappeared in an instant, Lin Feng still noticed it.
Teacher Kakashi…seems to know something?
“Things are more complicated than we thought.” Kakashi put away his usual laziness and said in a serious tone, “I’m afraid this village is completely controlled by the Black Feather Organization. We can’t wait any longer.”
He spread out the simply drawn map and pointed at a few places on it.
“We’ll start tonight. Naruto, you go to the watchtower on the east side of the village. Sasuke, go to the warehouse on the west side of the village. Sakura, guard near the south entrance of the village. I’ll be in charge of the north side of the village and around the shrine.”
“Remember everything. Mainly keep an eye on it. Don’t expose yourself unless you have no other choice.”
Kakashi looked at Lin Feng, “Lin Feng, you have the best perception ability, you can coordinate in the middle and tell us anything you feel is wrong at any time.”
“Yes!” All three of them responded.
Lin Feng also nodded. His [Enhanced Chakra Perception] was indeed useful at times like this. He could figure out the chakra movements of most of the village.
“Action!” Kakashi whispered.
The four figures quickly disappeared into the night outside.
It was completely dark, and Qingliu Village was quieter than during the day, the kind of quiet that made people feel creepy.
The moonlight was so pale that it cast a long shadow on the house, which looked scary.
There was no wind, not even the sound of insects could be heard.
From a distance, there seemed to be a low “buzzing” sound. I couldn’t tell whether it was some machine that was making the sound or a lot of insects flying. It made me feel numb.
Lin Feng was lying on the roof of a house, hiding in the shadows like a cat.
He closed his eyes, and his chakra perception slowly spread out like a net, covering most of the village.
The chakra in the villagers’ houses was very weak, like candles that were about to go out.
But outside the village…
Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes!
Something is wrong!
In the woods outside the village, more than a dozen strange chakras suddenly appeared! These chakras felt cold and violent, and were quickly surrounding the village! And their number was still increasing!
“Teacher Kakashi! Naruto! Sasuke! Sakura! There are enemies! Many enemies are approaching from outside the village!” Lin Feng quickly took out the scroll used for team communication and shouted as fast as he could.
As soon as he finished shouting, he felt as if an ice pick had pierced the back of his head, and a feeling of extreme danger arose!
Behind!
A dark shadow, without any sound or sign, came up behind him like a ghost!
A blade flashing with black light, with a sharp sound of tearing through the wind, stabbed towards Lin Feng’s back!
Fast! Scary fast!
Lin Feng’s hairs all stood up and his eyeballs shrank suddenly!
He forced his chakra to imitate the steps of the [Breeze Step]. His body seemed to be twisted, and he staggered and dangerously took half a step sideways!
Even so, with a “puff!” sound, a tearing pain came from the shoulder!
The black blade scraped across his body, and the strong wind it created left a wound on his shoulder so deep that the bone could be seen. Blood instantly soaked his clothes!
This step almost exhausted the chakra he had just condensed, and his chest began to feel stuffy.
“You react quite quickly, little brat from Konoha.” A hoarse and playful voice sounded from behind.
Lin Feng gritted his teeth and endured the pain, turned over and jumped away for a distance, then he could see clearly the person who attacked him.
A man wrapped in a black robe, with a scary bird-beak mask on his face, revealing a pair of murderous eyes.
People from the Black Feather Organization!
Before Lin Feng could fight back, a shrill scream suddenly rang out from the village!
“Boom! Boom!”
Explosions rang out one after another, and several houses suddenly caught fire, but the fire was black! It made a “sizzling” sound when it burned, as if it could swallow up anything!
It’s getting chaotic!
Lin Feng glanced at the street and saw that some “villagers” who looked ordinary during the day had now torn off their clothes, revealing the same black robes and bird-beak masks underneath!
They grinned, waved their weapons, and rushed towards the villagers who had not yet reacted and had no ability to fight back!
“Ah! Help!”
“Monsters! They’re monsters!”
There were cries, screams, and the sound of houses collapsing. It was a complete mess!
“Bastard!” Lin Feng’s eyes turned red, and he didn’t care about the injury on his shoulder. He quickly mobilized his chakra and gathered the wind escape in his hand.
In the chaos, Lin Feng endured the pain and used [Chakra Perception Enhancement] at full power, trying to capture battlefield information.
Suddenly, he keenly noticed that from beneath the ground nearby, there were dozens of unusually concentrated, weak chakra fluctuations filled with extreme fear, which seemed out of place amid the violent battle chakra and flames around them!
“Over there!” He immediately determined the approximate location, dodged the incoming attack with a teleportation technique, landed in front of the house he sensed, and kicked open the wooden door leading to the underground without hesitation!
The scene he saw before him made him furious!
In the small cellar, there were 20 to 30 real Qingliu villagers! Most of them were old people, women, and children. Their faces were pale, they were shaking violently, and their eyes were full of despair and fear!
“Master Ninja! Save us!” An old man saw Lin Feng and felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
“Those demons… they are not human! They captured us, and then… then they became like us!” A woman cried and said how their identities were changed by the Black Feather Organization and they were locked up here.
“Damn it!” Lin Feng gritted his teeth and was about to say something to comfort them when he heard the roars of Naruto and Sasuke outside.
“Rasengan!”
“Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!”
Lin Feng rushed out of the cellar and saw that Naruto and Sasuke were already fighting with several of Kuroba’s men. The two of them were back to back, fighting in an organized manner, but there were too many enemies, and they couldn’t gain any advantage for a while.
Sakura was on the other side, using her extraordinary strength to protect several injured villagers as they retreated.
“This way!” Lin Feng shouted and led the two Black Feather men over.
The fight started immediately! Lin Feng endured the pain in his shoulder and used wind escape ninjutsu and physical skills to fight with the two men.
When the fight was in full swing, in order to avoid a black wind blade coming from behind, Lin Feng suddenly flipped backwards, knocked open a door that was not closed tightly, and rolled in.
This is… the village chief’s house?!
The light in the room was dim, but Lin Feng still saw a scene that made his scalp tingle at a glance!
Village chief! The old man who was fawning during the day was now standing in the middle of the room. In front of him stood a figure wrapped in a large black robe, whose face could not be seen clearly!
The two people seemed to be performing some strange ritual. There were complicated rune patterns drawn on the ground with blood of unknown origin, and there was an ominous smell.
What made Lin Feng’s heart almost stop was that the village chief was wearing a black pendant around his neck!
The appearance, material, and runes engraved on the pendant were exactly the same as the runes on the black feather scroll he dug out from under the shrine!
The village chief…is also a member of the Black Feather Organization!
This old guy has been acting since the beginning!
Chapter 16: The Wind Rises and the Desperate Situation (Old Version)
The room was stuffy, with only the crackling sound of the oil lamp and waves of shouting and screaming from outside.
Lin Feng stared at the “village chief” in front of him, his heart beating wildly and his whole body tense.
The black-robed man who had been following the village chief had retreated to the darkest corner of the room at some point, without making any sound, as if he didn’t exist.
“Haha… Konoha’s little brat has quite a sharp eye.”
A strange sound like bones rubbing against each other came from the throat of the “village chief”. The wrinkles on his face seemed to be instantly smoothed out by invisible hands. His skin quickly tightened, and his originally hunched back suddenly straightened up with a “click” sound that made his teeth ache.
He grinned fiercely and tore the rustic robe to pieces. The pieces of cloth flew everywhere, revealing the bulging muscles covered with black feathers!
The face had completely changed. There was no trace of old age left. He was clearly a fierce bandit in his prime with a ferocious look in his eyes!
His eyes were cold and cruel, his mouth was grinning, and there was a smell of blood.
“Let’s get to know each other again. The Black Feather Organization, ‘Hunter’, codenamed Owl.”
He licked his lips and looked at Lin Feng as if he was looking at some interesting prey.
“My job is to find ‘sacrifices’ like you with strong chakra and interesting souls for the organization. This village? Ha, it’s just a place to raise ‘material’.”
The tone of Xiao’s voice was full of arrogance and contempt, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.
“You Konoha only know how to guard that little bit of broken fire will, and have long forgotten where the power comes from!”
He opened his arms, took a deep breath, and showed an expression of enjoyment on his face, as if he really liked the bloody smell in the room.
“We, Hei Yu, have inherited the true ancient secrets, the original power of this world! Your ninja stuff is just some inferior imitations!”
Xiao’s eyes suddenly became fanatical. He stared at Lin Feng and said a name word by word, a name that would scare anyone who knew a little about ninja history:
This power… haha, comes from the true god who founded the ninja world, the great Lord Yuyi! You mortals who only know the surface and are short-sighted will never be able to understand this divine power! “
Feather clothes!
The Sage of Six Paths, Otsutsuki Hagoromo? !
Lin Feng’s mind buzzed and he was confused.
Is this Black Feather Organization related to the legendary ancestor of ninja?
He suddenly understood that the origin and ambition of this organization were much more frightening than he thought! Their target was not just a few villages, they wanted to overthrow the entire ninja world!
Lin Feng’s heart was in turmoil, and he was startled!
No sign at all!
He threw his hands forward!
“Black Feather Secret Technique: Thousand Feather Kill!”
A swarm of black feathers appeared out of nowhere, densely and quickly, all shooting towards Lin Feng!
Each root was glowing black, and was very sharp, making a sound like breaking in the wind!
Too fast! Can’t dodge!
Lin Feng’s pupils shrank, and he quickly mobilized his chakra, trying to use wind escape to block it!
“Wind Style: Wind Wall!”
As soon as the wind wall rose up, those black feathers seemed to have eyes and flew right through it!
“Puff! Puff! Puff!”
Lin Feng tried his best to dodge, but he still got several deep cuts on his body and blood was oozing out!
The worst thing was that a feather emitting black light dodged his block and pierced his right shoulder!
“Ugh!”
It hurts so much!
What was even more frightening was that a cold and evil force penetrated into his body along the feather and swallowed his chakra like crazy!
His body felt heavy and his chakra was no longer under his control!
Are you going to be controlled?!
The window exploded with a loud bang, and broken glass flew everywhere!
A silver-white figure rushed in, holding a ball of dazzling lightning in his hand, making a crackling sound!
“Raikiri!”
It’s Kakashi!
His Sharingan was frighteningly red and full of murderous intent, and the Raikiri in his hand, with the power to split everything in half, went straight to Owl’s heart!
Xiao’s face changed. He probably didn’t expect the support to come so quickly. He suddenly retreated and barely avoided the direct attack of Raikiri. However, the lightning still left a charred cut on his arm.
Kakashi forced Xiao back with one move, and immediately flashed to Lin Feng’s side. When he saw the black feather on his shoulder, his face became extremely ugly.
“Lin Feng!”
“Ouch!!”
Outside the village, a sharp horn suddenly sounded!
The ground was shaking!
Many powerful chakras surged in from all directions, surrounding the entire Qingliu Village in an instant!
The Black Feather Organization’s large force is coming!
“Oh no!” Kakashi cursed under his breath, the situation suddenly became worse!
At the other end of the village, Naruto and Sasuke were protecting the imprisoned villagers as they evacuated, but were immediately entangled by several times more Black Feather members!
“Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!”
“Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique!”
Golden clones and red fireballs flew everywhere, but enemies kept popping up. They were gradually pressed into a small circle, protecting the villagers behind them, and fighting very hard!
Sakura was also in a tight situation. She gritted her teeth, protected several injured villagers behind her, and faced the approaching Black Feather members. The small stature of her burst out with terrifying strength. One punch could break trees and smash rocks, but there were too many enemies!
Her face was covered in dirt and sweat, but her eyes were stubborn and she refused to retreat even a single step!
Class 7 was suddenly forced into a dead end!
In the room, Lin Feng felt that the chakra in his body was being sucked away rapidly, and the pain was so severe that his consciousness began to drift away.
The black feather seemed to come alive, taking root in his body and drilling inside!
I’m going to die? It’s over right after I came here?
No! No way!
Just when Lin Feng was about to collapse, the cold system voice suddenly rang in his mind!
[Ding! The host’s life is detected to be under fatal threat, triggering an emergency mission: Survive in desperate situation! ][Mission requirements: Clear the alien energy erosion in the body and repel at least three members of the Black Feather Organization within ten minutes! ][Mission Reward: Temporary ability [Wind Style: Black Feather Purification] (lasts ten minutes), number of draws x1! ]The desire to live burned again like fire!
Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were full of bloodshot!
Let’s do it!
He gritted his teeth, and tried his best to mobilize the last bit of chakra according to the method taught by the system, and fought against that cold power!
Every second is so difficult!
The pain was driving him crazy!
“Aaaaaaah!!”
Lin Feng roared!
[Ding! Mission completed! Gained temporary ability [Wind Style: Black Feather Purification]! ]A new wind-attribute chakra suddenly rushed out from Lin Feng’s body, bringing with it a refreshing and dispelling feeling!
“Wind Style: Black Feather Purification!”
Lin Feng clasped his hands together suddenly!
boom!!
A visible green whirlwind exploded with him as the center, and rolled towards the surroundings!
Wherever the wind blew, the dark chakra in the air dissipated at once, becoming a lot cleaner!
Several people with black feathers who rushed over were blown away by the strong wind, and crashed into the wall and the pile of debris, groaning!
What’s more important is that the black feather that pierced Lin Feng’s body made a strange “squeaking” sound in the green wind, then broke into pieces bit by bit, and finally disappeared completely!
Lin Feng felt his body suddenly lighten, and his chakra could move smoothly again. Although he still felt weak, the deadly feeling was gone!
This not only temporarily repelled the enemy and cleared up the trouble on Lin Feng’s body, but more importantly, it opened up a way to survive for Team 7 which was trapped in a dead end!
Chapter 17 Evacuation of the Clouds of Doubt (Old Version)
“Now, go!” Kakashi growled, his voice firm.
The wind created by Lin Feng’s previous move [Wind Escape: Black Feather Purification] was still blowing, temporarily blocking the enemy.
“Cover the villagers, retreat!” Kakashi gave the order, and drew out his kunai, staring at the guy who was hiding in the shadows, and the black-feathered ninjas outside the house who wanted to rush in. He dodged and took the initiative to meet the pursuers, his silver hair flying in the night wind.
“Teacher Kakashi!” Naruto shouted anxiously.
“Follow orders!” Sasuke grabbed him, “Don’t hold us back!”
The night is dark, it’s a good time to run away.
Lin Feng endured the weakness and pain in his shoulders and stayed behind with Sasuke.
“Wind Escape: Big Breakthrough!” Lin Feng formed seals with his hands, and a strong wind blew up, rolling up the dirt and sand on the ground, blocking the pursuers’ sight.
“Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!” Sasuke then spit out a huge fireball, which rushed into the wind. The wind made the fire more vigorously, and it suddenly became a wall of fire several meters high, burning with crackling sounds, temporarily separating the Black Feather members who were chasing him from behind.
The two of them worked well together, one with the wind and the other with the fire, and they managed to fight their way out in this critical moment.
Sakura supported several villagers who were most seriously injured, and Naruto used his shadow clones to protect both sides. The group looked quite embarrassed, but ran very fast, rushing out of the village and into the dark forest.
The rescued villagers were still in shock, and many of them were still injured. They looked at the backs of the young men from Team 7, with gratitude in their eyes, but more of fear, fear of the inhumane methods of the Black Feather Organization and their secret control of the village.
“Thank you… Thank you, Master Ninja…” An old woman thanked with a trembling voice, tears streaming down her face.
Lin Feng didn’t say anything, he just quickened his pace. The escort wasn’t over yet, he couldn’t relax.
On the way of evacuation, Lin Feng’s brows were always frowned unconsciously.
Although most of the energy on the right shoulder that was pierced by the black feather was cleared away with [Wind Style: Black Feather Purification], it seemed that… there was still a little bit left? It was very weak, but it was like a small thorn stuck in the flesh, and it hurt from time to time, which made it impossible to ignore.
While taking a break, Kakashi walked over to Lin Feng, pretending to check his wounds. He casually placed his fingers on his shoulders and probed quietly with his chakra.
After a while, Kakashi withdrew his hand, and a trace of worry flashed in the depths of his eyes, but he said nothing, just patted Lin Feng on the shoulder: “Go back and let the medical team take a good look.”
His expression was quite serious, and Lin Feng saw it clearly.
It seems that thing is more troublesome than I thought.
What made Lin Feng even more concerned was that he took the time to look at the system and found that next to the original lottery interface, there was a new, gray, locked column – [Black Feather Collection].
There is also a line of small text at the bottom: [Special energy residue is detected. Collecting the same energy can unlock related information and redemption options].
This black feather fragment… can the system still use it? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?
Team 7 was exhausted, and they finally returned to Konoha just before dawn, bringing the equally exhausted villagers with them.
But no one greeted them at the village entrance, not even a normal mission report.
Several Anbu ninjas with serious expressions were waiting at the entrance of the village. They separated Kakashi, Lin Feng and the other three from the villagers and took them directly to a secret meeting room deep in the Hokage Building that they had never been to before.
The light in the meeting room was dim and the atmosphere was depressing.
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in the main seat. The smoke from his pipe was so thick that his face could not be seen clearly.
Sitting next to him were a few advisory elders whom he had never seen before, as well as the head of the Anbu.
Kakashi briefly explained the mission, focusing on the Black Feather Organization’s strange ninjutsu, how they infiltrated the village, the hunter who called himself “Owl”, and the name “Hagoromo” mentioned by the other party.
When he heard “Hagoromo”, the Third Hokage’s hand holding the pipe seemed to tremble slightly.
However, the reactions of the advisory elders were rather bland and somewhat unexpected.
An elder put down his teacup, his voice carrying a barely perceptible solemnity, but his tone was still calm: “Kakashi, the name of ‘Hagoromo’ is not trivial. The other party may just be bluffing and borrowing the legendary name. Without more solid evidence, we should not jump to conclusions to avoid causing unnecessary panic.”
“Yes, the most urgent task is to find out the details of this ‘Black Feather Organization’. As for the connection with the Six Paths Sage… for now, it is just the other party’s one-sided statement. Moreover, mobilizing too many resources for a mission in a remote village does require careful assessment of its necessity and potential risks.”
“Making a mountain out of a molehill?” Kakashi’s voice turned cold. “Didn’t the elders see what happened to those villagers? The Black Feather Organization’s methods are extremely vicious, and their purpose is definitely not simple!”
“Okay, Kakashi.” The Third Hokage interrupted them and took a deep puff of cigarette, “This matter is very important, we need to discuss it slowly. Team 7 has worked hard, go down and rest first. Lin Feng stay, the Anbu has some details to ask you alone.”
There was a hint of doubt in Kakashi’s eyes, he glanced at Lin Feng, and finally left with Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura.
Lin Feng’s heart sank.
The attitude of the top management… is very wrong! This deliberate downplaying of the situation seems like they are trying to cover up something!
He was led by two masked, cold-looking ANBU to a smaller, completely sealed room.
The questioning began, and the questions were extremely detailed, ranging from how he discovered something was wrong, to the situation underground in the shrine, to the fight with Owl, and even to the purifying storm that he had erupted at the end.
Lin Feng answered half-truthfully, describing the existence of the system as a potential that could explode in times of crisis.
At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open.
A figure also wearing an Anbu uniform and a mask walked in, but his aura was heavier than the two Anbu at the door, and more… dangerous.
“Let me ask you about the Black Feather Organization.” The man’s voice was a little hoarse, with an air of authority that brooked no refutation.
The two Anbu who had originally asked the question immediately stepped aside respectfully.
The questions asked by this mysterious man were even more tricky, pointing directly to the characteristics of the Black Feather Organization’s techniques, its membership composition, and even some secret operational habits. His understanding of the Black Feather Organization was far beyond the level of an ordinary Anbu!
Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat and he handled the situation more carefully.
After the questioning, Lin Feng thought he could leave, but the mysterious man walked up to him and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: “Your wind escape is very interesting… the power of purification…”
Then, a small note was quickly stuffed into Lin Feng’s hand.
“The secret of Black Feather lies in the roots.”
Leaving behind this incoherent sentence, the mysterious man turned around and left the room, as if he had never been there.
Lin Feng clenched the note in his hand, and his back felt a little cold.
Root? Could it be… Danzo’s “root”? !
After leaving the Anbu, Lin Feng found Kakashi who was practicing shuriken alone in the third training ground.
“Kakashi-sensei.”
Kakashi stopped what he was doing, turned around, and said with a serious expression: “How about the Anbu questioning?”
Lin Feng told him about his experience and the mysterious note.
“Root…” Kakashi narrowed his single eye, “As expected, things are getting more and more complicated. I’m afraid there really are Kuroba’s spies inside Konoha, and even…it involves people at higher levels.”
He thought for a moment and said to Lin Feng, “Be careful recently and don’t trust anyone easily. In addition, the Third Generation Master has approved the new mission.”
Kakashi looked into the distance and said, “Team Seven, set off immediately to the border of Wind Country. We have intelligence that there have been traces of activities that seem to be from the Black Feather Organization.”
The border of the Kingdom of Wind? Is it a new clue, or… a new trap?
Lin Feng clenched his fists.
Chapter 18: Night Exploration Suspicion (Old Version)
The night is eerily quiet.
The moonlight outside the window was pale, shining on Konoha Village, and it was a little cold.
Lin Feng suddenly sat up from the bed, his forehead covered with cold sweat, and his right hand subconsciously covered his right shoulder.
hiss–
That damn black feather fragment is causing trouble again!
A sharp pain pierced into his bones, instantly pulling him out of his sleep.
“It’s not over yet, is it?” Lin Feng cursed in a low voice, his brows knitted tightly.
He sat cross-legged and tried to mobilize his chakra to sense.
This time, he expanded the range of his perception very widely, like an invisible net, quietly covering the silent village.
Found it!
Several unfamiliar chakras, although deliberately suppressed, still exuded a chilling aura and were moving quickly in the shadows in the corner of the village!
More than one!
Their route… doesn’t seem to have any pattern, like they are… looking for something?
Is it Hei Yu’s people? Or…something else?
Should I tell Kakashi-sensei right away?
Lin Feng moved his fingers, trying to take the communicator.
But then I thought, no!
The other party is so sneaky that if I move, I might scare him away.
Moreover, after being “friendly” questioned by the Anbu last time and being warned by that mysterious man, he no longer has as much faith in Konoha’s internal affairs as before.
“Damn it, wealth and honor come from risk!”
Lin Feng’s eyes turned fierce, and he decided to go and check the situation himself first.
At critical moments, you have to rely on yourself!
Just as he turned over and got out of bed, preparing to change into his nightgown, the cold system voice in his head rang!
[Ding! A high concentration of the same “Black Feather Special Energy” has been detected nearby! ][System module is being updated… Update completed! ][Tip: The special energy fragments (black feathers) in the host resonate with the external energy source. Collecting more homologous energy can unlock the system’s special modules! ]Lin Feng was stunned.
Alien energy source?
Are you talking about the power of the Black Feather Organization?
This broken system has a special reaction to this thing?
Could it be that this system has some shameful dealings with the Black Feather Organization?
Before he could think about it carefully, a new system prompt popped up.
[Trigger urgent mission: Track down Hei Yu! ][Mission Objective: Follow the guidance of the energy source and go to the abandoned warehouse area in the southern part of Konoha to investigate the source of the abnormal fluctuations.][Task Reward: Number of draws x1, system points 100 points. ]Konoha South District?
Abandoned warehouse?
This mission comes at the perfect time!
Lin Feng no longer hesitated. He quickly changed his equipment and slipped into the night outside the window like a wisp of smoke.
The abandoned warehouse area in the southern area of ​​Konoha is a relatively remote and desolate place in the village.
The broken walls and rusty iron gate cast long, strange shadows in the moonlight.
Lin Feng restrained his breath and shuttled between the broken walls as nimbly as a cat.
There is a smell in the air, hard to describe, mixed with earthy smell and a bit of ominous feeling.
He stopped in the shadow of a relatively intact warehouse and mobilized his chakra to feel it carefully.
There’s something on the ground!
Moonlight leaked through the hole in the roof, illuminating the concrete floor of the warehouse, where several blurry but recognizable black runes were engraved!
It’s the rune of the Black Feather Organization!
They do have a base here!
A suppressed, familiar female voice came from deep in the warehouse.
“…Let me go! What on earth do you want to do?!”
This voice is… Ino? !
Yamanaka Ino? Why is she here?!
Lin Feng’s pupils shrank and he immediately held his breath. He carefully moved to a broken window in the warehouse and looked inside secretly.
The scene inside made his heart sink suddenly!
In the middle of the warehouse, the moonlight illuminated three figures.
Two men in black, wearing black tights similar to the previous attackers and with ferocious masks on their faces, were holding Ino on the left and right!
Ino’s blonde hair was a little messy, and her face was filled with fear and anger, but her eyes…it seemed like there was more than just fear?
Lin Feng frowned. He keenly felt that although Ino was struggling and shouting, the movements of her body did not seem like she was fighting desperately. Instead… there was a strange kind of cooperation?
What the hell is going on? Acting?
“Stop talking nonsense! Cooperate obediently and you will suffer less!” The black-clothed man on the left shouted hoarsely, “Your chakra is very special. It is exactly the trigger that ‘Master’ needs!”
As they spoke, ominous black chakra began to emerge from the hands of the two men in black, and the black feather runes seen on the ground before also began to glow slightly. It seemed that they were going to perform some evil ritual!
Their goal is to drain Ino’s chakra? !
Seeing that Ino’s face finally showed real pain and fear, Lin Feng no longer hesitated!
No matter whether she is acting or not, save her first!
Lin Feng quickly formed seals with his hands, and several highly compressed air bombs whizzed towards the two men in black like cannonballs!
“Who is it?!”
The man in black reacted quickly, stopped the ceremony immediately, and turned around to block!
Boom! Boom!
The vacuum jade exploded, the air flow became chaotic, and a cloud of dust was raised!
The two men in black roared and pounced towards Lin Feng at the window like ghosts!
Lin Feng broke through the window and rushed into the warehouse, attacking the two men!
“Wind Style: Wind Cutting Technique!”
The wind blade, as sharp as a knife, tore through the air and headed straight for the two men’s vital points!
Ding! Ding!
The man in black pulled out a black dagger in the shape of a feather and accurately blocked the wind blade. His movements were fast and fierce, and every move was fatal!
The battle starts instantly!
Relying on his body strengthened by the system and his increasingly proficient wind-style ninjutsu, Lin Feng fought with the two men.
The strength of these two men in black is much stronger than the ordinary minions they encountered in Qingliu Village before!
What Lin Feng didn’t expect was that –
“The Heart Turning Technique!”
Ino, who was originally being held up, suddenly had a gleam in her eyes, and formed seals with her hands. She actually took advantage of the opportunity when a man in black was forced back by Lin Feng to launch the secret technique of the Yamanaka clan!
But her target was not the enemy, but… missed?
wrong!
The next second, Ino’s body suddenly burst out with amazing speed and strength, and with a beautiful side kick, she kicked the other man in black hard on the waist!
Bang!
The man in black was caught off guard and was kicked sideways, hitting the wall!
This physical skill…is not at the level that Yamanaka Ino usually performs!
Lin Feng became even more confused, but he did not stop his actions. He seized the opportunity and used a series of wind-style ninjutsu, severely injuring the remaining man in black and completely eliminating his fighting ability.
The battle was over quickly.
Lin Feng walked up to Ino and saw that she was slightly out of breath. He asked with complicated eyes: “Ino, what’s going on? You just…”
Ino avoided Lin Feng’s gaze, tidied her messy clothes and hair, and her face returned to her normal expression, but there was an obvious wariness in the depths of her eyes.
“Thank you, Lin Feng.” She said softly, “If you hadn’t arrived in time, I might have been in danger.”
“Who are those people? Why did they arrest you? And what did you just do…” Lin Feng asked.
“I’m sorry, Lin Feng.” Ino interrupted him, her tone apologetic but extremely firm, “There are some things I can’t tell you right now. Anyway, thank you for saving my life.”
After she finished speaking, she looked at Lin Feng deeply, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn’t.
“I have to go.”
Ino turned around and prepared to leave.
When she reached the door of the warehouse, she paused, did not look back, but left a meaningful word.
“Lin Feng, don’t believe everything you see. Konoha’s shadow is deeper than you think.”
After saying this, her figure quickly disappeared into the night.
Lin Feng was left standing alone in the empty and dilapidated warehouse, his brows knitted into knots.
Ino’s skills, eyes, and warning just now…
Things are becoming increasingly confusing.
Lin Feng checked the two men in black who were knocked unconscious, and after making sure that there were no more useful clues on them, he quickly left the scene.
On the way back to his residence, his heart was in suspense.
Ino’s warning, the note from “Root”, the ambiguous attitude of the top management, and the ubiquitous Black Feather Organization…
The water in Konoha is indeed bottomless.
When he was almost at the foot of his apartment building, he stopped abruptly.
He clearly remembered locking the door when he went out.
But now, his door was ajar!
Someone has been in there!
Lin Feng’s heart trembled, chakra instantly spread throughout his body, and he pushed the door open silently.
The room looked the same as when he left, but upon closer inspection, the drawers of the desk had slight signs of having been opened, and the bed also seemed to have been turned over.
Search? Warning?
Lin Feng’s face was gloomy. He checked around and found that nothing was missing, and there was no note or mark left.
The other party is very professional.
Is it the ANBU? Is it the Root? Or is it Kuroba’s people?
Damn, this is getting more and more exciting!
It was almost dawn, and the meeting time agreed with Kakashi-sensei was getting closer.
Lin Feng sat on the edge of the bed, rubbed his brows, and prepared to pack his equipment and set off to the border of the Kingdom of Wind.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a faint warmth from the black feather fragment on his right shoulder.
He immediately sank into the system space to check.
[Ding! The black feather fragments in the host are detected to absorb trace amounts of homologous energy…][Absorbing and transforming…Transformation completed! ][The system special module [Black Feather File] has been unlocked (primary), and more Black Feather Energy is required to view detailed information.]Lin Feng was cheered up!
After defeating the two men in black, the remaining Black Feather energy was actually absorbed by this fragment?!
Unlock new features?!
[Black Feather Files]…What secrets are contained in this thing?
Lin Feng looked at the gradually brightening sky outside the window and clenched his fists.
It seems that this trip to the border of the Wind Country is destined not to be peaceful.
Chapter 19: Black Feather Hidden in Sand Town (Old Version)
The journey to the Kingdom of Wind is long and boring.
Sand was flying everywhere and the sun was baking the ground until it was almost smoking.
The four people in Class 7 were walking silently, and no one spoke much.
It was rare for Naruto not to make a fuss. It seemed that the incident in Aoyagi Village had taught him a lot.
Sasuke was still the same, with a cold face, but he would occasionally glance at Lin Feng, as if he was thinking about something.
Sakura also looked a little worried.
Lin Feng was riding on the rented camel, and the wound on his right shoulder was hurting.
The black feather fragment was like a thorn, stuck there, making him uneasy.
He didn’t tell anyone about rescuing Ino last night or that his house had been ransacked.
It’s not that he doesn’t trust teacher Kakashi, it’s mainly because this matter is too complicated and involves “roots”. Ino is also weird, so he has to figure it out first.
“System, pull out the [Black Feather File] and have a look.”
Lin Feng muttered to himself.
Suddenly, a light blue screen appeared in front of his eyes, which only he could see.
【Black Feather Files (Primary)】
[Revealed information: The Black Feather Organization seems to be a branch of the ancient “Feathered Clan”. They want to absorb other people’s chakra and become as powerful as the legendary Six Paths Sage…][You need to absorb more of the same energy to unlock more…]The Feathered Clan?
The Sage of Six Paths?
Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat.
This group of people is more powerful than he thought.
No wonder he was so ruthless and evil.
Absorbing specific chakra… Those villagers in Qingliu Village who have more chakra, and Ino last night, are all their targets.
“Lin Feng.”
Kakashi came over at some point, and the voice was right next to him.
His eye that was not blocked by the forehead protector was staring at Lin Feng’s right shoulder.
“There seems to be something wrong with your injury.”
Kakashi’s voice was not loud, but one could tell he had made up his mind.
Lin Feng’s heart moved.
Teacher Kakashi’s eyesight is really amazing.
He hesitated a little.
He struggled in his heart.
Ino’s warning, the turned-over room… The water inside Konoha is too deep. If we rashly involve Kakashi, will it bring him trouble?
But this black feather fragment is so strange, the pain on his shoulder constantly reminds him that danger is just around the corner, and the border of the Wind Country is even more dangerous. Kakashi’s strength and experience are the greatest guarantee, and some things can no longer be hidden.
“Teacher Kakashi…”
Lin Feng lowered his voice and briefly told Kakashi about the black feather fragment, and how it could absorb energy and knew something (he did not mention the system).
He specifically mentioned that the Black Feather Organization might have some relationship with the “Feathered Clan” and the “Six Paths Sage”.
After listening to this, Kakashi’s usually lazy look suddenly became particularly serious.
He didn’t say anything, and only spoke slowly after a while.
“It is so.”
“The Third-generation Master has long felt that there are spies from the Black Feather Organization in the village.”
“This time they asked us to come to the Wind Country, saying that they were investigating a missing persons case, but actually… they also wanted you to stay away from Konoha, that den of trouble, so as to avoid being targeted by certain people.”
Kakashi’s words were similar to what Lin Feng was thinking, and made him feel even more depressed.
Even the Hokage had to use this method to get them away. It seems that there are big problems in the village.
Ino’s warning, and the overturned house…
Lin Feng decided to keep these things to himself for the time being.
Until it’s fully understood, the less people who know, the less danger there is.
He just nodded to show that he understood.
“I’ll be careful, Kakashi-sensei.”
Kakashi gave him a long look.
“Well, be careful about everything.”
The team continued to move forward.
After a few more days, they finally arrived at a small town on the edge of the Kingdom of Wind – Shashi Town.
This town is just like its name, with yellow sand everywhere, looking gray. The houses on both sides of the street are shabby, and there are not many people on the street. Everyone looks nervous and their eyes are dodging.
There was an indescribable feeling of stuffiness and unease in the air.
As soon as Lin Feng’s feet touched the ground, [Enhanced Chakra Perception] immediately sensed that there were several strands of chakra hidden in secret.
It felt cold and secluded.
It’s the same chakra as Qingliu Village and the people who attacked him last night!
The people from the Black Feather Organization are indeed here!
Kakashi obviously felt it too.
His expression did not change. He said to everyone, “First find a place to stay, and then go and ask around.”
“Naruto, Sasuke, the two of you go to the west side of town and be careful.”
“Xiaoying, go to the town’s medical clinic and ask if you can get any information about the missing person.”
“Lin Feng, come with me to meet the mayor.”
“yes!”
Several people responded.
The mayor’s house is in the middle of the town and is one of the few courtyards in the town that looks decent.
The person who opened the door was a thin old man with a goatee, who introduced himself as the mayor.
He was very respectful of the arrival of the Konoha ninja, but there seemed to be a hint of subtle nervousness deep in his eyes.
“Oh my! The adults of Konoha are finally here! We in Shashi Town have been waiting for you!”
The mayor rubbed his hands, his face wrinkled with smiles, and let Kakashi and Lin Feng go into the house.
Lin Feng secretly activated [Chakra Perception Enhancement] and carefully distinguished the breath in the room.
The chakra fluctuations of this old man were normal, nothing unusual, but when he turned around to lead the way, Lin Feng caught a glimpse of an extremely faint, almost dissipated cold energy near his cuffs, which was very similar to Hei Yu’s aura!
This old man has come into contact with people or objects from the Black Feather Organization!
After sitting down and drinking tea, the mayor began to talk about what happened in the town.
“Alas, things have not been peaceful outside our town in recent months.”
“Several groups of travelers passing through the desert, as well as some caravan guards, have disappeared in this area. No one has seen them alive or dead…”
“Who are the missing people?”
Kakashi asked.
“Well…” The mayor rolled his eyes, “It seems… they are all quite skilled. I heard they are ninjas or people with strong chakra.”
Another person with strong chakra!
The situation is the same as in Qingliu Village!
Lin Feng and Kakashi looked at each other.
“Mayor, can you show us a map of the area nearby? We want to know where the missing person is.”
Lin Feng found an opportunity to speak.
“Oh, okay, okay, I should!”
The mayor quickly stood up and went to the study in the inner room to get a map.
Lin Feng took this opportunity to look around the living room, his eyes sweeping across the desk.
His gaze lingered for a second longer on an inconspicuous corner of the desk.
There was a small hidden drawer there, and the sides looked like they were often opened.
The mayor came out with a map and pointed enthusiastically.
Lin Feng pretended to listen carefully, his mind completely on the drawer.
When the mayor turned around to pour water again, Lin Feng moved his fingers lightly, and a trace of wind-attribute chakra quietly drilled out, opening the drawer a small gap.
From the gap, a folded piece of paper was revealed, with a familiar pattern drawn on it – the logo of the Black Feather Organization!
It’s indeed him!
When we came out of the mayor’s house, it was almost dark.
Lin Feng immediately told Kakashi what he had discovered.
“There’s something wrong with the mayor. He has a rune note from the Black Feather Organization hidden in his study.”
Kakashi nodded, his eyes quite impressive.
“It seems that this place is just like Qingliu Village. Their people have also infiltrated.”
“Let’s come back to check it out again tonight.”
The two returned to the hotel where they were staying temporarily.
Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura also came back one after another.
“We found a strange desert cave west of town,” Naruto reported, “but there seems to be a barrier around the entrance, so we can’t get in!”
Sasuke followed up by saying, “That barrier is hidden quite deeply. It’s not something that an ordinary ninja can create.”
Sakura brought back news from the clinic.
“I heard that some injured travelers came to the clinic for treatment. Their illnesses were very strange. It was as if their chakra had been drained away by someone, and their bodies were extremely weak!”
All clues point to the Black Feather Organization!
Altar, witchcraft, chakra absorption…
The sky gradually darkened.
The wind and sand outside seemed to be even stronger, whistling against the windows.
Team 7 was about to meet again to discuss a plan to go to the mayor’s house to check out the night –
“Well!”
Lin Feng suddenly covered his right shoulder and his face turned pale.
The black feather fragment in his shoulder suddenly burned violently, and a strong sense of resonance rushed through his body!
Chapter 20: Black Feather Backlash: Victory in Danger (Old Version)
A cold hand reached out quickly, as fast as a shadow, and covered his mouth forcefully. At the same time, an irresistible force pressed him firmly behind the cold stone pillar.
It was Kakashi! His exposed Sharingan was already open, the three magatama slowly spinning, his eyes full of solemnity and unquestionable warning. Lin Feng’s heart was beating like a drum, the resonance just now almost gave them both away.
In the center of the temple, the huge black feather formation flickered with an ominous light, casting a dismal green cast on the faces of the surrounding black-robed men.
A tall man wearing a creepy bird-beak mask slowly raised his head. His black robe was more gorgeous than the others, with complicated silver patterns embroidered on it. He stood in front of the strange black stone tablet, like a king in the dark.
His hoarse voice, with a kind of morbid fanaticism, echoed in the empty and silent temple: “The time has come! Heed my command! Tonight, complete the ‘third stage of sacrifice collection’! For the great ‘Ascension Ceremony’ of our Lord, offer the final cornerstone!”
He called himself “Crow,” and judging from his tone, he was of high status.
Lin Feng endured the severe pain in his right shoulder that seemed to tear his bones apart, and quietly activated [Chakra Perception Enhancement]. The energy in this damn place was too chaotic, like a pot of boiling asphalt, sticky and disgusting.
His heart sank suddenly.
In the center of the formation, among the unconscious ninjas lying like rag dolls, there was one whose chakra fluctuation was as weak as a candle in the wind, but the emblem of the Sand Village uniform on his body was particularly dazzling in the dim light – it was the emblem of the Kazekage’s special envoy!
It’s bad! If he died here, the relationship between Konoha and Sand Village would go from “allies” to “enemies”! The Third Hokage would be furious.
“We must save people and destroy that stone tablet!” Kakashi’s voice was very low, but it came close to Lin Feng’s ear with a firm decision.
Kakashi had almost no time to think, and he had already quickly made a plan: “I will be responsible for rushing in to rescue people. The stone tablet is the key, but there must be something strange. Find an opportunity to use your strongest wind jutsu to attack it. Pay attention to its energy reaction. If it doesn’t work, find a way to detonate it! Use this to notify Naruto and the others, immediately!”
A communication scroll with exquisite workmanship and special spells engraved on it was forced into Lin Feng’s hands.
The plan was finalized in an instant, and the next second, the action began!
The high-pitched and sharp bird song suddenly tore through the dead silence of the temple! The dazzling pale lightning was like a divine punishment, instantly illuminating Kakashi’s figure! He turned into a flash of lightning, rushing forward at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to catch. The two black-robed men who were blocking the sacrifice didn’t even see what happened before they were pierced through the chest by the violent lightning and fell to the ground silently.
So fast! As expected of Kakashi-sensei!
Taking advantage of this sudden chaos, Lin Feng no longer hesitated, and the chakra under his feet burst out. His body was like an arrow from a bow, rushing along the ground, aiming directly at the black stone tablet that exuded an infinite evil aura! He quickly formed seals with both hands, and the pure wind chakra began to rotate and compress at high speed in his palms!
“Humph! Where did this fly come from? It doesn’t know whether to live or die!”
“Crow” turned his head suddenly, and the hawk-like eyes under the bird-beak mask shot out cold and chilling murderous intent.
He clasped his hands together suddenly and formed a strange seal, “Black Feather Secret Technique: Feather Shadow Clone!”
Whoosh!
The air twisted, and dozens of clones made of pure black feather energy that exuded an ominous aura appeared out of thin air, howling silently like ghosts, and swarmed over Kakashi who was rescuing people, instantly blocking his way forward.
Lin Feng was getting closer and closer to the stone tablet, less than ten meters away! Victory was in sight!
But at this moment, something strange happened! The black feather fragment on his shoulder seemed to be completely activated, and the reaction reached an unprecedented peak! An irresistible, abyss-like terrifying suction suddenly came from the stone tablet, locking onto Lin Feng tightly, as if an invisible big hand was about to drag him over along with his soul!
[System emergency prompt: Warning! Warning! An extremely high concentration of Black Feather Source Power has been detected! It is trying to forcibly assimilate and devour the host’s chakra! It is recommended to stay away from the stone tablet immediately, right now! ]The cold system prompt sounded like an alarm bell, exploding wildly in his mind!
“Damn it! You can’t afford to play with me, right?”
Lin Feng gritted his teeth, his face flushed red, and he forcibly mobilized every bit of chakra that he could still control in his body, and blasted a wind bomb that was compressed to the extreme at the evil stone tablet!
However, this vacuum jade that was powerful enough to easily cut through steel hit the stone tablet, but it was like hitting cotton. It did not even cause a ripple and was directly absorbed completely!
The black runes on the surface of the stone tablet became deeper and brighter because they absorbed his wind escape power, and the terrifying suction force suddenly increased several times! Lin Feng felt that his chakra was being sucked out uncontrollably!
[System warning: Detected that the host’s chakra was forcibly extracted! The risk of black feather source power assimilation is extremely high! The host’s wind chakra and black feather energy are in violent conflict… Possible mutation detected… Emergency protocol activated! Triggered emergency mission: “Black Feather Backlash”! ][Task Reward: Based on the current conflict status, temporarily unlock the ability – [Wind Style: Black Feather Cutting] (Duration: 10 minutes)! ][Do you accept? (Yes/No) Countdown: 3…2…]“Nonsense! Of course I accept!” Lin Feng roared in his heart, without even the slightest hesitation! If he didn’t accept it, he would be sucked dry!
Buzz! A strange and violent force instantly surged into his meridians, violently colliding and merging with his own wind chakra!
The meridians felt a tearing pain! His originally pure blue wind chakra changed rapidly, stained with a deep black like ink, but the edge of the chakra was flashing with an extremely sharp blue light, as if it condensed the extreme edge of the wind and the strange corrosive power of the black feather!
This is [Wind Style: Black Feather Slash]! The power is so violent that it is almost out of control! Chakra is flowing out like a flood!
“I don’t care about that anymore! Break it for me!”
Lin Feng endured the severe pain and dizziness, and tried his best to guide this new and difficult-to-control Black Feather Wind Escape force, barely condensing it into a huge twisted black wind blade… and slashed it fiercely at the stone tablet!
Crack! A sharp cracking sound accompanied by a flash of black light exploded in the deadly temple!
This time, the deep runes on the surface of the indestructible stone tablet suddenly dimmed, and a hideous crack spread from the place where the wind blade hit, and wisps of black gas escaped from it!
When “Crow” saw that the stone tablet was damaged, his expression under the mask changed drastically. The black air escaping from the cracks made him feel a palpitation, as if the foundation of the ritual was shaken!
“Damn little brat, you actually managed to hurt the core of the holy monument! The fragments in your body are indeed the key!” He roared, greed and murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He even temporarily gave up commanding the feather shadow clones to besiege Kakashi, and his figure flashed… and rushed straight towards Lin Feng!
Kakashi seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and his Sharingan accurately captured the gap, and the lightning flashed again! With a hissing sound, the entangled black feather clone was cut into pieces. He quickly cut off the energy chains that bound the captives, rolled up the dying Sand Village envoy and several other captives, and threw them to the safety area behind.
At this moment, violent chakra fluctuations and faint shouts of killing suddenly came from the direction of the temple entrance!
The next moment, “Boom!”, the wall at the entrance was directly blasted open by the violent force!
Gravel was flying everywhere!
“Here I come! Take my move, Rasengan!” Naruto’s iconic loud voice rang out…
“Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!” Sasuke followed closely behind and spit out a huge fireball without showing any weakness, lighting up half of the temple.
Sakura followed behind, clenching her fists, observing the battlefield vigilantly, ready to provide support at any time.
Class 7, all members present! They immediately engaged in a battle with the remaining black-robed men and those troublesome feather shadow clones.
But on Lin Feng’s side, the situation took a turn for the worse, and he was caught in a life-and-death battle with “Crow”.
“Black Feather Secret Technique: Soul Devouring Feather!”
“Crow” waved his hands like a strong wind, and countless black feathers emitting the breath of death and decay seemed to come into life, turning into a rain of arrows that shot towards Lin Feng from all directions, blocking all the space he could dodge.
Lin Feng wielded the huge black wind blade formed by [Wind Style: Black Feather Cutting], and tried his best to chop and deflect the attacking black feathers. The black feathers collided with the black wind, making a teeth-grinding cutting sound. But every collision consumed his already limited chakra and physical strength. The severe pain from the black feather fragments on his shoulder was like a maggot on his tarsal bone, making his eyes go black and his head dizzy.
This won’t work! My chakra is running out! My temporary skill time is also counting down!
Just when Lin Feng felt that he was about to collapse and his consciousness began to blur, the black feather fragment on his shoulder suddenly produced an unprecedented and extremely strong resonance with the crack on the stone tablet!
Buzz——!
A suction force that was even more violent and unreasonable than before suddenly came, almost pulling his soul out of his body!
But when Lin Feng was on the verge of despair, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind!
If you can’t resist…then just don’t resist!
Instead of being passively sucked dry, it’s better to… go with the flow and take a gamble!
He suddenly gave up all resistance and allowed the violent suction force to drag him towards the nearby stone tablet. At the same time, he poured all the remaining [Wind Style: Black Feather Slicing] power in his body into the ever-widening crack on the stone tablet without reservation and with all his might, like a flood that broke through a dam!
“Break it for me!!!”
Lin Feng used up all his strength and let out the most hysterical roar since he traveled through time!
Boom!!!
A deafening roar seemed to shake down the entire temple!
The black stone tablet finally couldn’t bear the double damage from the inside and outside under Lin Feng’s desperate last blow. Starting from the crack, spider-web-like cracks spread wildly, and finally collapsed in the dazzling black light! It turned into countless fragments of different sizes, flying everywhere!
The light of the evil formation that enveloped the entire temple suddenly went out like a extinguished candle!
“No! My holy monument!”
“Crow” let out a painful howl that was so shrill that it didn’t sound like a human voice, as if he himself had suffered unimaginable damage.
He glared at the crumbling Lin Feng fiercely, his eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness.
Then, his body suddenly turned into a thick black shadow, rolling up the remaining men in black robes. He didn’t even care about his knocked down subordinates, and quickly escaped into the darkness deep in the temple, retreating in a panic.
Chapter 21: The Secret of Sand Xin Chuxian (Old Version)
Rumble——!
The rocks above were falling like a rainstorm, the ground beneath the feet was shaking violently, and the entire evil temple was falling apart.
“Go!”
Kakashi’s voice was filled with unquestionable urgency. He formed seals with one hand to maintain a simple earth barrier to block the falling rubble, and with the other hand he picked up the half-dead Sand Village user.
Naruto carried a wounded man on his back, while Sasuke and Sakura also supported the other rescued ninjas.
Lin Feng only felt that his vision was dark, the world was spinning, every breath he took was filled with a strong smell of dust, and his lungs were burning with pain.
The desperate attempt to detonate the stone tablet just now almost drained his last bit of chakra. Now even standing still has become a luxury.
He forced himself to follow the team, his vision becoming increasingly blurry, and Kakashi’s anxious shouts and Naruto’s yelling became distant…
Eventually, the darkness completely consumed his consciousness.
In the endless darkness, broken images flashed by like a kaleidoscope.
It was an ancient battlefield with corpses strewn all over the ground, blood flowing like a river, and broken walls and ruins.
It was the blurry silhouette of the Sage of Six Paths, emitting a sacred aura, as if standing at the end of the world.
It was a mysterious figure with huge black wings spread out, carrying an aura of destruction and ominousness, confronting the immortal from a distance.
Finally, a vague and majestic voice echoed deep in my mind:
“The road to metamorphosis…will eventually begin…”
When I regained consciousness slowly, the first thing I smelled was a faint mixture of disinfectant and herbs.
Lin Feng struggled to open his heavy eyelids, and what came into view was an unfamiliar khaki ceiling.
“Are you awake?”
A familiar yet slightly tired voice sounded nearby.
Lin Feng turned his head and saw Kakashi sitting on a chair beside the bed, holding a copy of “Intimate Paradise”, but the one eye that was exposed was staring at him with concern.
“Kakashi…teacher?” Lin Feng’s voice was a little hoarse. “Where…are we?”
“In the medical room of Sand Village.” Kakashi closed the book. “You were unconscious for three whole days. Thanks to you for destroying the core of the ritual, we successfully rescued everyone, including the Kazekage’s envoy. As a thank you, the Kazekage invited us to rest temporarily in Sand Village.”
[The mission “Black Feather Backlash” is being settled…][Mission completion: S level! ]【Task rewards distribution:】
[1. The purification rate of black feather fragments is increased by 50%! ]【2.Lottery points +3! 】
[3. Skill [Wind Style: Black Feather Slash] (Elementary) has been permanently unlocked! ]The cold system prompt sound in his mind cheered Lin Feng up.
Purification 50%! This means that the negative effects of that damn fragment will be greatly reduced! Moreover, that temporary skill with strong power but also great side effects has now become a permanent ability! Although it is only elementary, it has great potential! Big profit!
Lin Feng immediately immersed himself in the matter, opened the system interface, and clicked on [Black Feather File].
Sure enough, the archive content was updated.
[Black Feather Organization Structure: Presumably a pyramid structure, with different levels or branches named after birds. Known branches: “Owl” (high-level combat power), “Crow” (ritual executor/regional leader). The level of strength may be related to the symbolic meaning or size of the bird, which needs to be verified.][Organization goal: “Emergence Ceremony”. Core purpose: By collecting and fusing specific types of powerful chakra (possibly including tailed beast chakra, special blood limit chakra, etc.), acting on the selected “container”, it will gain power beyond the existing ninja system, and it is suspected to imitate or reproduce some of the power of the Six Paths Sage. ]“Container…” Lin Feng chewed on the word, and felt a chill in his heart. The look that the “crow” gave him before leaving was full of greed… The fragment on his shoulder might be the “key” or “primer” in their eyes!
At this time, a medical ninja wearing a Sand Village uniform walked in and checked Lin Feng’s condition.
“Your physical condition is very strange, Master Lin Feng.” The medical nin carefully checked the examination scroll, frowning.
“The black energy remaining in your body…is extremely overbearing and highly corrosive. Logically, it should continue to damage your meridians. But the test results show that instead of causing further damage, it seems to be forcibly restrained and guided by your wind-attribute chakra, and even slowly merging? It is simply against common sense that two chakras of completely opposite natures can achieve such a strange balance in the same body. In our Sand Village medical records, there has never been a similar precedent.”
Lin Feng’s heart moved. It seemed that the purification of the black feather fragments had worked, and his chakra seemed to be actively adapting to and integrating this power. Was this a good thing or a bad thing?
Not long after, there was a knock on the ward door.
The one who came in was Temari. She had changed into a neat outfit of a Sunagakure jonin. She looked less sharp and more serious.
“Lin Feng, how do you feel?” she asked, her eyes sweeping over Lin Feng, finally landing on his bandaged right shoulder.
“Thank you for your concern. I’m much better now.” Lin Feng replied.
“That’s good.” Temari nodded, “On behalf of the Sand Village, I would like to formally thank Konoha’s Team 7 for their assistance, especially you, Lin Feng. If you hadn’t disrupted the ceremony in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.”
She paused and continued, “Lord Fengying will host a banquet for you all tonight. Please be sure to come.”
Lin Feng noticed that when Temari said this, there seemed to be a subtle inquiry in the depths of her eyes. The attitude of the Sand Village… is a bit subtle.
The evening banquet was held in the banquet hall of the Fengying Building.
Although it was called a banquet, the atmosphere was not relaxed. Lin Feng and his friends were arranged to sit at a table near the main seat. All the people sitting around them were high-ranking figures of the Sand Village, including the advisory elder, Chiyo, who looked very difficult to deal with.
Halfway through the banquet, the appearance of a figure made the entire hall instantly quiet down.
I love Luo.
He is now the fifth Kazekage. Although he is not very old, his cold and powerful aura is enough to make everyone present feel pressured. He is wearing the clothes that symbolize the identity of the Kazekage, and the gourd on his back is still conspicuous.
His eyes swept across the entire room and finally stopped on Lin Feng.
Those emerald green eyes were emotionless, like two bottomless cold pools, with a pure curiosity and scrutiny of the alien power, which made Lin Feng’s back slightly cold. This guy… is really interested in my black feather energy!
Lin Feng found an excuse and temporarily left the noisy banquet hall and came to a secluded corridor.
He closed his eyes and quietly activated his chakra perception.
The mental power spread like invisible tentacles, penetrating the walls and the ground, carefully exploring the entire Sand Village.
Soon, his brows furrowed.
Directly below the Fengying Building, about a hundred meters deep, there is an area isolated by a powerful seal. Although the seal blocked most of the aura, Lin Feng’s [Black Feather Sensing] still captured an extremely weak but absolutely homologous Black Feather energy fluctuation!
There is something wrong with the Sand Village! They are secretly researching the Black Feather Organization!
When Lin Feng returned to the banquet hall as if nothing had happened, an old figure blocked his way.
It’s Grandma Chiyo.
Her weather-beaten eyes were as sharp as an eagle’s, as if they could see through people’s hearts.
“Young man.” Her voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable majesty. “Don’t play with fire too much and get yourself burned.”
Lin Feng’s heart trembled, but his expression remained calm: “Senior is right.”
It seems that my previous investigation has alarmed this experienced consultant.
After the banquet, Kakashi called Lin Feng aside.
“The Third Hokage has sent instructions.” Kakashi’s expression was a little serious, “We will stay in the Sand Village for three days. On the one hand, it is to let you rest and recover, and on the other hand, it is to cooperate with the Sand Village to further investigate the Black Feather Organization’s activities in the Wind Country.”
“Cooperate with Sand Village?” Lin Feng asked, “Can they… be trusted?”
Kakashi was silent for a moment, then he slowly said: “At least when it comes to dealing with the Black Feather Organization, our goals are the same. But… it’s always right to stay vigilant.”
In the dead of night, Lin Feng sat cross-legged on the bed, trying to control the partially purified black feather energy in his body, and familiarizing himself with the newly acquired [Wind Style: Black Feather Cutting].
Suddenly, there were several light knocks on the window.
Lin Feng stood up vigilantly and walked to the window. It turned out to be Temari standing outside.
She motioned to Lin Feng to open the window, then nimbly climbed in, her movements filled with unquestionable decisiveness.
“To make a long story short.” Temari lowered her voice, her expression unusually serious, “The disappearances at the border of the Wind Country actually started a month ago. The Sand Village has been secretly investigating, but progress has been slow until you happened to disrupt their sacrifice collection ceremony this time.”
Lin Feng’s pupils shrank slightly.
“We suspect,” Temari continued, her tone serious, “that these actions by the Kuroba Organization are related to the upcoming Chunin Joint Exam. Intelligence shows that they plan to launch a large-scale operation within Konoha Village during the exam.”
Konoha! Chunin Exam!
Lin Feng’s heart sank. Ino’s warning, the search of his room, Sunagakure’s secret investigation, the conspiracy of the Black Feather Organization…all clues pointed to the inside of Konoha!
He pondered for a moment and decided to reveal some information in exchange for trust: “Before we came to the Wind Country, we also encountered a similar thing in a small village (Qingliu Village) on the border of the Fire Country. The villagers were attacked and their chakra was extracted…”
He briefly recounted what happened in Qingliu Village, but cleverly concealed the existence of the system and the specific situation of the black feather fragments in his body.
After hearing this, Temari’s expression became even uglier: “The situation is more complicated than we expected… I will tell Gaara your information immediately.”
After Temari left quietly, Lin Feng looked at the dark night sky outside the window in silence for a long time.
The water inside Konoha was much deeper than he had imagined.
He opened the system, looked at the three precious lottery points, and decided to use one to try his luck.
【Lottery in progress…】
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill: Wind Style: Wind Barrier! ][Wind Style: Wind Barrier: Condenses high-density wind-attribute chakra to form a solid spherical or hemispherical barrier around the body, which can effectively defend against physical attacks and most energy-based ninjutsu attacks. The strength of the defense is proportional to the amount of chakra input.]A purely defensive ninjutsu.
In this crisis-ridden moment, it is always good to have an extra life-saving trump card.
Lin Feng slowly clenched his fists. The Sand Village, the Black Feather Organization, Konoha’s inner demon… The road ahead is destined to be bumpy.
Chapter 22: The Terror in the Sand Hidden Chamber (Old Version)
[Ding! High concentration of black feather energy fluctuations detected! Direction: directly below, about 200 meters away! It is recommended that the host go to investigate immediately! ]Before the first ray of morning light penetrated the window, the cold system prompt sound hit Lin Feng’s brain like a heavy hammer.
Two hundred meters below? Under the Sand Village?
Lin Feng sat up suddenly, his eyes sharp.
Temari’s words yesterday are still ringing in my ears. The Sand Village is indeed hiding a secret.
He thought for a moment and quickly formed seals with his hands.
“Shadow Clone Technique!”
Bang.
An identical Lin Feng appeared in the room, lazily lying back on the bed, pretending to be still asleep.
Lin Feng’s real body quietly opened the window and blended into the shadows before dawn like a civet cat.
Relying on the memories of a time traveler and the foundation of the ninja school, as well as the chakra perception granted by the system, Lin Feng carefully avoided teams of patrolling Sand Ninjas.
Their footsteps were particularly clear in the quiet village.
The air was filled with the smell of dry sand.
Lin Feng followed the direction indicated by the system and finally came to a remote corner behind the Fengying Building.
The ground here is no different from other places, but the chakra perception can clearly detect the weak energy flow coming from underground.
He found a cleverly camouflaged entrance and dived down.
The underground passage was dark and damp, with the walls covered with rough rock patterns. Only a few moonstones embedded in the walls emitted a dim light.
There was a strange smell of dust and some kind of metal in the air.
The passage is winding and twisting like a maze.
Lin Feng concentrated his attention and raised his chakra perception to the limit, and finally found a huge stone door at the end of the passage.
The stone door was tightly closed, engraved with complex and twisted runes, emitting a powerful sealing force.
These runes… Lin Feng’s pupils shrank slightly.
They are extremely similar to the markings of the Black Feather Organization, but the details are slightly different, and they seem to be more ancient and complete.
He tried to get closer to the stone gate.
Just as his fingertips were about to touch the cold stone surface, the black feather fragment on the bandaged right shoulder suddenly burned violently, and a strong sense of resonance instantly spread throughout his body!
The runes on the stone gate suddenly lit up with a dazzling black light, and an invisible wave of power spread out.
The originally indestructible seal began to fluctuate violently under the resonance of the black feather fragments, and a hint of instability and obscurity appeared in the flow of runes!
Lin Feng seized the opportunity, condensed the wind chakra at his fingertips, and accurately stabbed at the node where the fluctuation was most violent!
With a slight click, the seal was broken!
The stone door made a dull friction sound and opened a gap inward.
Behind the door is a space that is completely beyond imagination.
The dazzling white light hit his face, causing Lin Feng to squint his eyes subconsciously.
This is an incredibly huge underground laboratory!
The metal walls were cold and smooth, and various sophisticated instruments that Lin Feng had never seen before were flashing with colorful lights and making low humming sounds.
The walls were covered with huge maps and complex charts, with densely packed points marked with red markers.
Lin Feng walked over quickly, his heart pounding.
Those maps are actually detailed maps of the five major countries!
And those red dots are spread across the Fire Kingdom, Wind Kingdom, Water Kingdom, Earth Kingdom, Thunder Kingdom… Next to each red dot is a date and event briefing, and without exception, they are all related to the activities of the Black Feather Organization!
The Sand Village…they have been systematically studying the Black Feather Organization!
And looking at the scale and investment, it definitely didn’t happen overnight!
In the center of the laboratory is a huge cylindrical glass container filled with light green nutrient solution.
A complete black feather, about half a meter long, was quietly suspended in the center of the container.
It was much larger and more complete than the fragments Lin Feng had seen on the temple stele. Its surface was flowing with an ominous black luster, emitting powerful and heart-pounding energy fluctuations.
This is definitely something left behind by a member of the Black Feather Organization who is at a higher level than “Crow”!
Lin Feng forced himself to calm down and quickly scanned the documents and experimental records scattered around.
What he found was shocking.
The Sand Village has been monitoring the Black Feather Organization for more than ten years!
Not only did they record the Black Feather Organization’s activities in various places, they even captured low-level members for research!
An encrypted document mentioned the Sand Village’s top-secret speculation: The ultimate goal of the Black Feather Organization seems to be to hold a large-scale ceremony at the intersection of some ancient natural energy or earth vein nodes of the five major countries!
And according to their calculations and intelligence analysis, this key intersection… is actually near Konoha Village!
Combined with Temari’s information from last night, the time of the ceremony is most likely during the originally scheduled Chunin Joint Exam!
At this moment, Lin Feng’s [Black Feather Sensor] suddenly sounded an alarm!
Several powerful and cold chakras are approaching the entrance of the passage at an extremely fast speed!
Discovered!
Lin Feng acted decisively, quickly formed seals with his hands, and performed a shorthand sealing technique that Kakashi had taught him, forcibly imprinting several key documents and important information on the map onto a blank scroll in the form of chakra marks.
Must evacuate immediately!
He turned and rushed towards the stone gate.
However, just as he was about to step out of the laboratory, something strange happened!
Buzz——!!!
The huge black feather in the central glass container began to vibrate violently without any warning!
Snap!
The sturdy special glass shattered!
Green nutrient solution gushed out.
The black feather turned into a pure black light, ignoring the distance in space, and shot straight towards Lin Feng at a speed that was impossible to react to!
Lin Feng’s pupils suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously mobilized all the wind chakra in his body to form a vortex on his right shoulder to try to resist!
The black light easily tore through his chakra defense and penetrated into the wound with brutal force! “Ughhhhh——!”
In severe pain, he could feel the wind chakra in his body instinctively fighting against this external energy. The previous system purification effect seemed to provide a slight buffer, delaying the complete loss of control, but the violent black feather energy was still rampaging in his meridians!
Indescribable pain instantly swept through Lin Feng’s nerves!
It was as if a red-hot iron had been drilling into his bones, and his soul was trembling!
Countless chaotic, broken, and destructive images flooded into his mind like a tide!
A large group of Black Feather Organization members gathered in a dark underground square…
A huge altar made of countless bones and black feathers…
The bird’s-eye view map of Konoha Village was stained red with blood, marking important locations one after another…
Finally, there was a mysterious man wearing a ferocious fox mask, standing on a high place, issuing orders in a cold and ruthless voice…
“puff!”
Lin Feng suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body was shaking.
The black feather had completely sunk into his shoulder and merged with the original fragments. An even larger and more violent black feather energy was rampaging through his body!
Must go!
Lin Feng gritted his teeth, endured the tearing pain, burst out with all his potential, and rushed out of the stone gate.
As soon as I entered the passage, several sharp sounds of breaking through the air came towards me!
It’s the Anbu of Sand Village!
They moved swiftly and coordinated well, and were obviously the elite among the elite!
Kunai and Senbon blocked all his escape routes!
At the critical moment!
“stop!”
A cold and delicate cry was heard.
Temari’s figure appeared in the passage like a ghost, waving a huge iron fan, instantly blocking all attacks.
“Temari Jonin?” The Sunagakure Anbu members were obviously stunned.
“Everyone, step back!” Temari’s tone left no room for doubt, her eyes sweeping across several Anbu sharply, “You have nothing to do here!”
The Anbu hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to obey the order and disappeared into the shadows.
Temari turned around and looked at Lin Feng, whose face was pale and whose whole body was trembling, with a complicated look in her eyes.
“I knew you would come here.” She sighed, “I am not your enemy, Lin Feng. There are some things I must let you know.”
She supported the staggering Lin Feng.
“We in the Sand Village highly suspect that there is an insider of the Black Feather Organization among the top leaders of Konoha, and it may even be a high-level member!”
This sentence was like thunder, exploding in Lin Feng’s mind!
“Gaara has secretly sent his most trusted messenger to Konoha, carrying some of the evidence we have, ready to communicate directly with the Third Hokage. But this road is also full of dangers.” Temari’s voice lowered even more, “So, Lin Feng, after returning to Konoha, don’t trust anyone easily! Including your Hokage advisor, or even…”
She didn’t say anything else, but her meaning was clear.
Temari took Lin Feng and quickly returned to the ground through a more hidden secret passage.
Returning to the room assigned to him, Lin Feng immediately closed the doors and windows, collapsed on the bed, and gasped heavily.
The severe pain in his right shoulder continued, but the violent black feather energy in his body seemed to be slowly beginning to stabilize under the suppression of his wind attribute chakra.
He immediately opened the system interface.
[Black Feather File Update! ][The ultimate goal of the Black Feather Organization: “Feathering Ceremony”! ][Ritual conditions: Gather nine types of chakras containing special origin power (known to include: tailed beast chakra, some powerful or rare bloodline limit chakra). ][Effect of the ritual: The nine kinds of original chakras are fused through special means and injected into the selected “container”, allowing it to break through the existing life level and gain power beyond the mundane and close to that of a god (suspected to imitate or reproduce some of the abilities of the Six Paths Sage).][An unknown benign mutation of the black feather fragments in the host has been detected! ][Direction of mutation: Initial fusion with the host’s chakra! ][Fusion progress: 5%][Unlock new ability: [Black Feather Sensing] (Basic)! ][Black Feather Sensing (Primary): The host can actively or passively sense the source and approximate intensity of all black feather energy within a radius of 200 meters.]Lin Feng looked at the system prompt with a changing look in his eyes.
Has the fusion begun?
Is this good or bad?
But the ability of [Black Feather Sensing] is undoubtedly the most needed one right now!
The inner demon of Konoha’s high-ranking officials… The commander wearing a fox mask…
It seems that the real storm has just begun.
Chapter 23: Attacked on the Way Home (Old Version)
On the third day, just as the sunlight penetrated the yellow sand unique to the Sand Village, a ninja hawk delivering a message landed on Kakashi’s arm.
He untied the letter tube, unfolded the scroll, and with just a glance, his always lazy face instantly tensed up, and even his Sharingan became sharper.
“What’s wrong, Teacher Kakashi?” Naruto came over carelessly.
Kakashi put the scroll away and said in a low voice: “The Third-sama has issued an emergency recall order. We must return to Konoha immediately.”
His expression was extremely solemn. It was not the look he would have facing an ordinary task. It was more like he was facing an impending storm.
Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat. Thinking of Temari’s words last night and the discovery of the Sunagakure secret room, an ominous premonition became stronger.
As they were packing up to leave, Temari found Lin Feng and with one swift movement pressed a small scroll into his hands, whispering without moving her lips, “Take this, return to Konoha, and only open it if you feel you are in real, unsolvable danger.”
Her eyes were filled with warning and a hint of worry.
Lin Feng calmly put the scroll into his arms and nodded.
Starting the journey home, leaving the endless yellow sand of the Wind Kingdom and entering the familiar forest area of ​​the Fire Kingdom, the atmosphere was not relaxing.
At night, the bonfire crackled, illuminating the faces of everyone in Class 7.
Lin Feng looked at the dancing flames and finally made up his mind. He lowered his voice so that only Kakashi next to him could hear: “Teacher Kakashi, on the last day in Sand Village, I discovered something…”
He briefly described the underground laboratory, the map markings on the wall, the huge black feather in the center, and the Sand Village’s speculation about the ultimate goal and location of the Black Feather Organization, but concealed the details of the system and the integration of the Black Feather into his body, only saying that he discovered it through special perception and the resonance of the Black Feather fragments.
Kakashi listened quietly, the mask on his face hiding most of his expression. Only the one eye that was exposed looked extremely deep under the firelight.
He was silent for a long time, so long that Lin Feng thought he would not respond.
Finally, Kakashi spoke slowly, his voice carrying an unprecedented solemnity and a hint of barely perceptible worry: “Lin Feng, the seriousness of this matter is far beyond your imagination. Once the discovery of the Sand Village and the suspicion of the Third Hokage are true, the entire Konoha may be shaken. The information you found is crucial, but before you return to the village and meet the Third Hokage, you must not mention it to anyone, including Naruto and Sakura.”
The firelight flickered, stretching his shadow very long.
“The Third Hokage has long suspected that there are more than just spies from the Black Feather Organization inside Konoha…” Kakashi lowered his voice, “It’s possible that even high-level officials are involved. I’m afraid that the reason they urgently recalled us this time is because they found new clues that are enough to arouse vigilance.”
So that’s how it is. Part of the reason for the previous border mission was indeed to transfer them away from the center of the vortex of Konoha.
At this moment, a prompt suddenly popped up on the system interface in his mind!
[Black Feather Sensing Activated! ]A cold, evil chakra wave came out from the dark forest in the distance like a poisonous snake. Although it was weak, it carried clear malice. And there was more than one wave of chakra, approaching rapidly from all directions!
“Teacher!” Lin Feng stood up suddenly, his face changed suddenly, “There are enemies! There are quite a lot of them, and their chakra is very strange, very similar to those guys from the Black Feather Organization!”
Kakashi’s eyes flashed coldly, and he instantly entered combat mode: “Everyone on alert!”
“Naruto, shadow clone scout!”
“Yes!” Naruto immediately created several shadow clones, which whooshed into the surrounding darkness.
Less than ten seconds later, a shadow clone came back with an anxious voice: “Teacher Kakashi! There are so many masked men in black, at least a dozen of them, surrounding us!”
Before he could finish his words, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
More than a dozen dark shadows emerged from the shadows of the woods like ghosts, landed steadily around the camp, and surrounded Class 7.
They were all wearing uniform black outfits and had various ferocious bird masks on their faces – owls, crows, vultures… The leader was tall and wore a sharp and cold falcon mask, his eyes fixed on Lin Feng.
“Haha… finally found it.” The man wearing the eagle mask laughed hoarsely, like the friction of metal. “Black Feather Organization, ‘Eagle’. I have been ordered to come and take away the ‘Container’.”
His finger pointed directly at Lin Feng.
“The fragments of the Black Feather in your body have begun to fuse. It is truly a perfect prototype… Come with us, boy. Your fate has already been determined!”
“Container? What nonsense are you talking about!” Naruto roared angrily.
Kakashi stood in front of Lin Feng, his Sharingan slowly turning: “If you want to touch my students, you have to get past me first!”
“Eagle” snorted coldly, not taking Kakashi seriously at all: “Copy ninja? Humph, you can’t protect yourself today!”
“Get started!”
At the command, the surrounding Black Feather members launched an attack instantly!
“Naruto! Sakura! Protect Lin Feng and retreat first! Sasuke, follow me and cover your retreat!” Kakashi acted decisively, and dazzling lightning condensed in his hands!
“Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!” Sasuke did not hesitate and cooperated with Kakashi. A huge fireball whizzed towards the oncoming enemies, temporarily blocking their attack.
“Want to leave? Too late!” The “Eagle” was incredibly fast. It broke through the edge of the fireball in an instant and rushed straight towards Lin Feng!
“Don’t even think about it!” Naruto roared and rushed forward, with the Rasengan condensed in his hand.
Sakura also clenched her fists, ready to provide support.
“I said, I won’t abandon my companions!” Lin Feng’s eyes became fierce and he quickly formed seals with his hands!
[Wind Style: Wind Barrier]!
A transparent barrier composed of high-speed rotating airflow instantly appeared in front of him, Naruto and Sakura, barely blocking several black feathers that were shooting towards them!
“Naruto, go!” Lin Feng shouted, pulling out a kunai and heading towards the enemy rushing towards him from the side.
The battle broke out instantly!
Kakashi and Sasuke fought against most of the enemies, and the sharp sounds of Raikiri and Chidori and the explosions of fireballs were heard everywhere.
But the guy codenamed “Eagle” is extremely powerful, far surpassing the “Crow” he encountered before!
His physical skills were swift and strange, but what was even more terrifying was his Black Feather Ninjutsu, which seemed to be able to absorb the opponent’s chakra attacks and then bounce them back!
Kakashi’s Raikiri was forcibly blocked and absorbed several times by the opponent’s palm covered with black feathers, and Sasuke’s Fire Style was also deflected by the strange black whirlwind.
The two of them cooperated well and were able to hold on for a while, but they were clearly at a disadvantage and in danger!
“Damn! This guy is too strong!” Sasuke gritted his teeth and his Sharingan spun rapidly, looking for the opponent’s weakness.
On the other side, Lin Feng and Naruto teamed up to deal with the remaining Black Feather members. Although they were able to handle it, the “Hawk” brought too much pressure to Kakashi and Sasuke!
Seeing Kakashi’s arm being cut by a black feather in order to protect them, and Sasuke gasping for breath, Lin Feng’s eyes turned completely cold.
This can’t go on any longer!
He took a deep breath and risked activating the restless black feather energy in his right shoulder!
The severe pain came again, but this time, Lin Feng endured the pain and tried to guide the energy with his mind and merge it with his wind chakra!
[Wind Style: Black Feather Slash]!
This time, the wind blade was no longer pure blue, but turned into a blue-black color surrounded by ominous black energy!
Dangerous electric sparks flashed on the edge of the wind blade, emitting a cutting aura that was several times stronger than before!
“What is this…?” The “Eagle” who was fighting with Kakashi suddenly noticed the abnormal chakra fluctuation and looked at Lin Feng in surprise and doubt.
[Black Feather Wind Style: Dark Night Cut]!
Lin Feng slashed out the wind blade that was integrated with the black feather energy!
Swish!
The blue-black wind blade tore through the air with a sharp whistle, and its speed was extremely fast!
“Eagle’s” pupils shrank sharply, and he subconsciously raised his arm covered with black feathers to block!
puff!
This time, the invincible Black Feather Defense was torn apart!
The dark blue wind blade cut through his arm defense, leaving a wound deep enough to see the bone! Black blood spurted out!
“Ah!” “Eagle” groaned in pain and looked at his injured arm in disbelief.
“You…you can actually control the power of Black Feather?!” He stared at Lin Feng, his eyes full of shock and a hint of…greed?
Then, an even weirder smile appeared on his face.
“Interesting… Very interesting! It seems that you are more suitable to be a ‘vessel’ than we thought!”
After saying this, he waved his hand without any hesitation and said, “Retreat!”
The remaining Black Feather members retreated like the tide, quickly disappearing into the thick night, as if they had never appeared.
The battle is over.
Lin Feng’s legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground. His face was as pale as paper and his whole body was soaked in cold sweat.
The forced fusion and use of the black feather energy placed a huge burden on his body.
The wound on his right shoulder felt as painful as if it was burned by fire, and the chakra in his body was almost drained.
【Warning! Warning! 】
[The host has overused Black Feather energy, and his body is showing signs of accelerated mutation! Please find a way to purify or suppress it as soon as possible! ][Unlock new mission: [Black Feather Purification]! ][Mission Objective: After returning to Konoha Village, find a method that can effectively purify or suppress the black feather energy in the body. ][Task Reward: The initial fusion of Black Feather Energy is stable, and exclusive fusion ability is obtained! ]Lin Feng was breathing heavily, looking at the warnings and new tasks on the system panel with a serious look in his eyes.
It seemed that returning to Konoha would never be peaceful.
The real challenge has just begun.
Chapter 24: Undercurrent in Konoha (Old Version)
Team 7 finally returned to the familiar Konoha Village.
However, the atmosphere at the entrance of the village made Lin Feng’s heart sink suddenly.
There was an indescribable sense of tension in the air. The villagers hurrying along the streets had fewer smiles on their faces, and the number of patrolling Anbu ninjas increased significantly. They were like silent shadows, frequently shuttling between rooftops and street corners, scanning every corner with sharp eyes.
“It feels… something is not right.” Naruto scratched his head and also noticed something unusual.
Sasuke had a cold face, and his Sharingan opened unconsciously for a moment, observing his surroundings.
Kakashi didn’t say anything, but just quickened his pace and walked directly towards the Hokage building.
“Follow me,” he whispered.
Lin Feng followed behind and quietly activated [Black Feather Sensing].
hiss–!
He took a sharp breath and his pupils shrank slightly.
On this short street, he actually sensed several weak but real black feather energy reactions! They were like poisonous snakes hiding in the shadows, scattered in different corners of the village, looming.
Konoha… has it really been infiltrated?
The group arrived at the Hokage’s office in silence.
Pushing open the heavy wooden door, the scene inside made Lin Feng frown again.
In the office, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in the main seat with a serious expression.
On his left and right sat two high-level advisors of Konoha – Utane Koharu and Mitokado En, both of whom looked worried.
Opposite them, an old man with a cane and half of his face wrapped in bandages stood there gloomily.
Shimura Danzo!
Almost at the moment he saw Danzo, Lin Feng’s [Black Feather Sensing] captured a hint of abnormality!
A cold and oppressive energy wave, like an undercurrent hidden deep under the ice, was emanating from Danzo’s body, especially concentrated around his bandaged right arm!
If it weren’t for the Black Feather Sensing’s sensitivity to the same energy, it would be extremely difficult for an ordinary ninja to detect it.
This guy… is indeed problematic!
Lin Feng forced himself to suppress the shock in his heart, lowered his eyes and avoided looking at Danzo.
“Lord Sandaime, we are back.” Kakashi stepped forward and bowed.
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, his eyes swept across the members of Team 7, and finally fell on Lin Feng, staying there for a moment.
“Thank you for your hard work, Kakashi. I have received a preliminary report from Sunagakure on the situation at the Wind Country border. Please tell me the details.”
Kakashi reported the mission process concisely, including two battles against the Black Feather Organization codenamed “Crow” and “Eagle”, focusing on “Eagle’s” special interest in Lin Feng, and Lin Feng’s ability to resist and use some of the Black Feather’s energy.
During the report, Lin Feng could clearly feel that Danzo’s cold gaze was almost always fixed on him, as if he was examining an interesting object.
“Oh?” As soon as Kakashi finished speaking, Danzo spoke in his hoarse voice, with an undisguised inquiry in his tone, “Lin Feng, right? Being able to resist the erosion of the black feather and even use that power in reverse… What an unexpected talent. How did you do it?”
Here we come!
Lin Feng’s heart was filled with alarm, but he pretended to be nervous and confused on the surface.
“I… I don’t know either.” He lowered his head slightly, “Maybe it’s because my wind-attribute chakra is special? During the battle, Kakashi-sensei was always by my side guiding me, so I was able to barely block it…”
He deliberately attributed the credit to Kakashi and his own chakra attributes, acting like a Genin who survived by chance.
Danzo’s cloudy eyes narrowed, and a barely perceptible suspicion flashed in them.
Obviously, this answer did not fully satisfy him.
“Alright, Danzo.” Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke at the right time, interrupting the conversation, “The kids must be tired after traveling all the way. We’ll discuss the matter of the Black Feather Organization later.”
He looked towards Team 7 and announced, “Given the increased threat level from the Kuroba Organization, the village needs to focus on dealing with potential crises. After consultation among the advisory elders, it has been decided… that the scheduled Chunin Exams will be postponed indefinitely.”
Naruto’s eyes suddenly widened: “Huh?! Postponed?!”
Sakura and Sasuke also showed surprised expressions.
“Not only that,” the Third Hokage continued, his tone leaving no room for doubt, “For safety reasons, Team 7 is temporarily disbanded. You all go home to rest, and are not allowed to act without orders. Wait for the next instructions from the village.”
Temporarily disband?
Lin Feng’s heart moved. This was probably to protect them, especially himself, the prototype of the “container” who was being targeted.
“Yes, Lord Hokage.” Kakashi accepted the order.
After leaving the Hokage Building, the sunlight outside seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze.
Kakashi stopped and said to Lin Feng alone: ​​”Lin Feng, in the near future, try to stay at home and don’t go out alone. If there is any abnormal situation, immediately inform me in the way I taught you, understand?”
His tone was unusually serious.
“Yes, Teacher Kakashi.” Lin Feng nodded to show that he understood.
But deep down, he had other plans.
Sitting and waiting for death has never been his style.
What’s more, the task of [Black Feather Purification] is still hanging there.
After saying goodbye to Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura, Lin Feng walked home alone.
The streets of Konoha were still bustling, but the undercurrent hidden beneath the calm made him feel chilly.
Just as he was thinking about the anomalies in the village, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure at the door of the flower shop on the corner of the street, seemingly arranging bouquets absent-mindedly. It was Yamanaka Ino.
She seemed to be aware of Lin Feng’s gaze and looked up at him inadvertently. The moment their eyes met, Lin Feng caught a hint of imperceptible eagerness.
“Hey, Lin Feng, are you back from the mission?” Ino was a little surprised at first, then returned to her normal tone, but signaled around with her eyes.
“Yeah, I just came back.” Lin Feng responded calmly.
Ino looked around, pretending to arrange the bouquet, leaned forward slightly, and said quickly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: “Someone wants to see you at the third training ground behind the Hokage Rock at midnight tonight. Be careful.”
After saying that, she stood up, as if nothing had happened, turned around and walked into the flower shop holding the bouquet.
Lin Feng did not stop, but his heart was in turmoil.
Who could it be that Ino was delivering the message to?
Friend or foe?
night.
In Lin Feng’s room, a shadow clone that looked exactly like him was sitting cross-legged on the bed practicing with a steady breath.
His real body, like a ghost blending into the night, left his residence silently and sneaked towards the direction of Hokage Rock.
Just after leaving the residential area, [Black Feather Sensing] sent a faint fluctuation again.
Someone is following you!
Lin Feng’s eyes turned cold. He sensed that the chakra was cold and emotionless, with a familiar smell of “roots”.
Humph, Danzo really won’t give up.
A sneer appeared on his lips, and his figure flashed several times in the shadows of the complex buildings. Using his familiarity with the terrain and his speed far exceeding that of a Genin, he shook off the tail cleanly and neatly.
At midnight in Training Ground No. 3, the moonlight was sparse and the surroundings were silent except for the whispering of insects.
Lin Feng hid in the shadow of a big tree, observing his surroundings vigilantly.
A moment later, a tall man with a cigarette in his mouth slowly walked out from the shadows at the other end of the training ground.
It’s Asuma Sarutobi!
The son of the Third Hokage, one of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas, and also Konoha’s Jonin.
How come he is here?
Asuma walked to the center of the training ground, exhaled a smoke ring, and looked sharply in the direction where Lin Feng was hiding.
“Come out, I know you’re here.”
Lin Feng hesitated for a moment and emerged from the shadows.
“Asuma-senpai, what’s the matter with you calling me so late at night?”
Asuma put out his cigarette, his expression serious, and got straight to the point: “Lin Feng, time is running out, so I’ll be frank. We… or rather, the Third Hokage, suspect that Danzo has a deep connection with the Kuroba Organization.”
Lin Feng’s pupils suddenly shrank, but he didn’t say anything, waiting for what was to come.
“The Third-sama has been sending me to secretly investigate Danzo and his ‘Root’,” Asuma continued, his voice low, “but the ‘Root’ acts too secretly, and it is difficult for us to obtain direct evidence. Until you showed up.”
“I?”
“That’s right, you.” Asuma looked at Lin Feng, “You can sense, even resist and utilize the black feather energy. This is a breakthrough for us. We need your help.”
He explained: “Danzo’s ‘root’ has been secretly collecting various special bloodline limits and powerful chakras over the years to build up his own power. This is highly consistent with what we currently know about the goal of the Black Feather Organization – collecting special chakras for some kind of ‘ritual’. We have reason to believe that Danzo is very likely the high-ranking person in Konoha who is colluding with the Black Feather Organization, and may even be using the Black Feather Organization to achieve his own goals.”
Lin Feng was silent for a moment.
Asuma’s words confirmed his previous guesses and perceptions.
He decided to reveal some of the information.
“Senior Asuma, to be honest with you,” Lin Feng said in a deep voice, “I can indeed sense that evil energy. Today in the Hokage’s office, I clearly felt that Danzo… especially his bandaged arm, was emitting very strong black feather energy fluctuations.”
Asuma’s eyes flashed with confirmation, “So that’s the case… That makes sense.”
He took a deep breath and proposed an extremely bold and extremely dangerous plan.
“Lin Feng, we need you to…sneak into the Root.”
“What?!” Lin Feng was surprised.
“I know this is dangerous.” Asuma said solemnly, “Danzo will definitely be interested in your special prototype of the ‘Container’. Take advantage of this, pretend to accept his recruitment, enter the interior of the ‘Root’, and collect solid evidence of his collusion with the Black Feather Organization for us.”
This is simply courting death!
Lin Feng frowned.
“What’s in it for me?” he asked bluntly.
With such a high risk, there has to be a high reward.
“In exchange,” Asuma said, “as long as you can get the key evidence, the Third Hokage promises to use the resources of the Hokage Department to find and provide you with a secret technique or method that can completely purify the black feather energy in your body.”
Method to purify Black Feather energy!
Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat!
This is exactly what he needs most right now! The goal of the system task [Black Feather Purification]!
The risks are huge, but the rewards are equally tempting.
Moreover, this is the only chance to take the initiative and find out the truth.
“Okay.” Lin Feng thought for a few seconds, and a decisive look flashed in his eyes, “I promise you.”
“Very good.” Asuma showed a hint of appreciation on his face. “This is a specially made communication scroll. It can transmit information to me in one direction and will not be easily detected. And this…”
He handed Lin Feng a small porcelain bottle.
“This is a bottle of special medicine. It may be able to temporarily suppress the mutation of the black feather energy in your body. It may save your life at a critical moment. Remember, after sneaking in, safety comes first. Don’t be impulsive.”
Lin Feng took the scroll and potion and nodded.
“I’ll be careful.”
Asuma’s figure quickly disappeared into the night.
Lin Feng stood alone in the empty training ground, the evening breeze blowing, bringing coolness.
The road ahead is unpredictable and full of dangers.
At this moment, the system prompt sound in my mind suddenly rang.
[Quest [Black Feather Purification] progress update! ][Possible clues to purification pathways have been detected…Analysis in progress…][Suggestion: Continue with the current plan and infiltrate the ‘root’ organization, perhaps you can obtain direct information about the decontamination method or contact relevant resources. ]Lin Feng clenched the bottle of medicine in his hand and his eyes became firm.
It seems that this is the only way to go.
Danzo, the Kuroba Organization… Let me personally uncover the darkness of Konoha!
Chapter 25: Sneaking into the Root Lair (Old Version)
Just as the sky was getting light, there was a knock on Lin Feng’s door.
The knock on the door was not loud, but it carried a cold rhythm that could not be refused.
Lin Feng opened the door, and outside stood a Root ninja wearing a standard mask. He was not tall, but his aura was like a poisoned dagger.
“Lin Feng, Lord Danzo wants to see you.”
The Gennin’s voice was flat and mechanical.
“Dan…Danzo-sama?”
Lin Feng’s face showed just the right amount of panic and a hint of fear, and his body even took a half step back, as if he was frightened by the name.
“Why… looking for me?”
The Root Ninja didn’t answer, but just stepped aside to make way.
“Come with me.”
The moment the gennin turned around and led the way, Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat, all the muscles in his body tensed up and then relaxed immediately, and he pretended to casually adjust his cuffs.
He held his breath, condensed his chakra into a strand thinner than a hair, and carefully reached into his sleeve. His fingertips touched the specific patterns on the scroll with an extremely light amplitude, simulating the special frequency taught by Asuma to inject chakra.
The whole process took less than half a second. He could even hear his own heartbeat like a drum. He stared at the back of the Root Ninja in front of him from the corner of his eye, afraid that the other party would notice anything.
It wasn’t until he felt a faint feedback from the scroll that he breathed a sigh of relief and focused entirely on playing the role of a terrified Genin.
After twists and turns and passing through several seemingly ordinary streets, we finally arrived at an extremely hidden underground entrance.
The entrance was covered with complicated sealing techniques, which the Root Ninjas skillfully untied.
The cold and damp air hit me in the face, carrying with it a strange smell mixed with a faint smell of blood and disinfectant.
Entering the underground passage, the light suddenly dimmed.
The walls of the passage were made of cold rocks, and there was an oil lamp emitting dim light at regular intervals.
Lin Feng followed the Root Ninja silently and quietly activated the [Black Feather Sensing].
His heart sank.
From the moment I stepped into this area, the familiar, disgusting black feather energy fluctuations were everywhere!
They were like maggots on the tarsal bones, infiltrating the air, the walls, and even permeating every Root Ninja. Although they were extremely weak, they could not escape the [Black Feather Sensing]!
This place is simply a nest of black feather energy!
After walking for a long time, I finally arrived in front of a heavy steel door.
The Root Ninja formed a seal again, and the door slowly opened.
Behind the door was a spacious but depressing room, in the middle of which, the old man who had only been seen once in the Hokage’s office – Danzo Shimura, was sitting gloomily in a chair with his cane at his side.
Lin Feng’s eyes immediately locked onto Danzo’s bandaged right arm!
The information fed back by [Black Feather Sensing] made his scalp tingle!
Rich!
The extremely dense black feather energy fluctuations were like a dormant poisonous snake, lurking under the bandage, constantly emitting a heart-pounding cold breath!
It was even stronger than the fluctuations on the “Eagle” encountered before!
This guy is definitely related to the Black Feather Organization!
Danzo spoke, his voice was hoarse and cold, like sandpaper.
“No need to pretend your surprise. I know you have the Black Feather fragment in your body, and it has begun to merge with you, right?”
Lin Feng’s body trembled violently uncontrollably, his pupils dilated instantly, the blood color faded from his face, his lips slightly opened, he looked horrified as if he had heard a fairy tale, even his breathing seemed to stop for a moment, perfectly interpreting the shock and fear that a Genin should have when facing the secrets of high-level officials for the first time.
“How…how do you know?”
The corner of Danzo’s mouth twitched, it didn’t look like a smile, but more like a cruel expression.
“The intelligence network of ‘Root’ is beyond your imagination.”
He stared at Lin Feng with his one intact eye, his tone filled with unquestionable temptation.
“That power is dangerous, but also very powerful. You are currently unable to fully control it, and will be harmed sooner or later. If you join the Root, I can teach you how to control this power, and even… use it for your own benefit.”
Control black feather energy?
Lin Feng’s heart was shocked. This was exactly the problem he needed to solve urgently!
But on the surface he showed intense struggle and hesitation.
“Join… ‘The Root’?”
His voice was trembling, “But… the Third Generation Master said…”
“Hmph, Sarutobi is too weak.”
Danzo snorted coldly, his tone full of disdain.
“For the future of Konoha, necessary sacrifices and means are inevitable. You are a smart person and should know how to choose.”
He paused and emphasized his tone.
“Think about the power within you, and think about the members of the Black Feather Organization who are targeting you. Only the Root can protect you, and only I can allow you to truly control your own destiny.”
Lin Feng lowered his head and “struggled” for a long time, his nails almost digging into his flesh.
He raised his head abruptly, his eyes complicated, showing fear of losing control of his power and unwillingness to accept his own fate, but deeper in his eyes, there was also an imperceptible “curiosity” and “desire to explore” that came from the instincts of time travelers and ninjas – curiosity about the essence of the mysterious black feather energy.
“Okay! I’ll join!” His voice was a little hoarse, “But you have to tell me, what exactly is this black feather energy?! Where does it come from? Why… does it entangle me? I want to know everything!”
“very good.”
Danzo showed a satisfied look, as if he had full control over Lin Feng’s reaction.
He nodded toward the shadow beside him.
“God, take him to familiarize himself with the environment.”
A Root ninja, also wearing a mask, appeared silently, bowed to Danzo, and then turned to Lin Feng.
This Root Ninja codenamed “Ten” has a more restrained and more dangerous aura than the one who led the way.
Lin Feng followed “Tian” out of Danzo’s office and began his “one-day tour of the Root Base”.
The deeper he went, the heavier Lin Feng’s heart became.
He saw ninjas imprisoned in special cells, some of them were even children!
Their eyes were empty and numb, and they had strange tubes inserted into their bodies, connected to complex instruments.
Lin Feng’s [Black Feather Sensing] clearly captured that these people’s chakras were being slowly and continuously extracted by those instruments!
Among them are some ninjas who possess special bloodline limits, and their energy fluctuations are particularly obvious.
“what are they doing?”
Lin Feng couldn’t help but ask, his voice filled with deliberately suppressed “anger”.
“They are contributing their efforts to the peace of Konoha.”
“Tian”‘s tone was still cold and without any emotion.
“Some powers are too dangerous. Rather than letting them fall into the hands of the enemy, it is better for us to keep and use them.”
Bullshit peace! Bullshit custody!
Lin Feng cursed in his heart, this was simply naked human experiment and chakra plundering!
This old guy Danzo is indeed a complete lunatic!
Afterwards, “Tian” took Lin Feng to a more hidden laboratory.
The security here is even tighter.
The scene inside the laboratory made Lin Feng’s pupils shrink sharply!
This place is strikingly similar to the Black Feather Organization’s stronghold he had previously discovered underground in a small town on the border of the Wind Country, and the laboratory he saw underground in the Sand Village!
There were all kinds of instruments he didn’t recognize, and complex diagrams and runes hung on the walls.
And in the center of the laboratory, in a huge glass container, there was a nearly half-meter-long, ink-black feather floating!
The black feather energy fluctuations emanating from that feather were even larger and purer than those on Danzo’s arm!
It’s like a source of energy!
“Don’t go near there.”
The voice of “Heaven” carries a warning tone.
“That’s not something you should be touching right now.”
At this moment, Lin Feng suddenly covered his forehead, a painful expression appeared on his face, and his body shook.
“My head… hurts…”
He took advantage of this opportunity and quickly ran his fingers across the communication scroll, recording the layout of the laboratory and the image of the huge black feather.
At the same time, his [Black Feather Sensing] was fully deployed, capturing a larger and more terrifying energy source that seemed to be hidden deeper in the laboratory!
The fluctuation caused the black feather fragments on his shoulders to begin to feel slightly hot!
“Tian” frowned, but did not doubt too much, just urged: “The tour is over, follow me to see Master Danzo.”
Back in Danzo’s office again, the old fox seemed to be in a good mood.
“How does it feel?”
He asked.
“This is… shocking.”
Lin Feng lowered his head, his tone complicated.
“You’ll get used to it.”
Danzo didn’t take it seriously and then changed the subject.
“Now that you have joined the Root, you must work for the organization. Your first mission will be simple.”
He handed Lin Feng a scroll and a specially made empty container.
“Go to Konoha Hospital and find a seriously injured Kumogakure soldier numbered 735. Extract a sample of pure lightning chakra from him. Remember, don’t leave any traces behind.”
Extracting the chakra of seriously injured people? !
Lin Feng took the scroll and container and applied a little force to his fingers, causing his knuckles to turn white.
Danzo’s actions were even more unscrupulous and cruel than he had imagined!
This is no longer a gray area, this is pure darkness!
“Yes, Lord Danzo.”
He suppressed the anger and disgust in his heart and responded in a low voice.
Leaving the cold root base and returning to the sunshine, Lin Feng could not feel any warmth at all.
Instead of going home, he immediately changed direction and headed for another secret contact point agreed upon with Asma.
After handing Asuma the communication scroll that recorded the internal situation of the Root Base, especially the laboratory and the giant black feather, Lin Feng also informed him of the mission issued by Danzo.
Asuma looked at the information on the scroll with an extremely solemn expression on his face, and even forgot to smoke.
“Damn it! Danzo is actually doing this! These evidences…”
He took a deep breath, “This is not enough! We need more direct evidence that can prove his direct connection with the Black Feather Organization! For example, their transaction records or contact letters!”
Lin Feng pondered for a moment: “Danzo’s office may have these things. But he is heavily guarded and it is difficult for me to approach him.”
“Take this.”
Asuma handed Lin Feng another small scroll.
“This is a special ninjutsu scroll I got when I was on a mission before, the ‘Instant Shadow Rubbing Technique’, which can copy the contents of a file silently in a very short time. But there is only one chance, and it is very dangerous. Once discovered…”
“I see.”
Lin Feng took the scroll with a determined look in his eyes.
“I’ll find a chance.”
That night, Lin Feng sneaked into Konoha Hospital according to the “plan”.
Found the Kumogakure ninja in that ward.
He was a very young-looking ninja, his body wrapped in bandages, his breathing weak, and obviously he was seriously injured.
Lin Feng looked at him, then looked at the extraction container in his hand, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
He is not a saint, but he cannot do such a dirty thing as taking advantage of someone’s misfortune to extract the chakra of a seriously injured person, and he is even more disdainful to do it!
He formed a few seals silently, and a faint illusion wave spread out.
The Kumogakure ninja lying on the hospital bed relaxed his brows and fell into a deeper sleep.
Afterwards, Lin Feng took out the empty container and pretended to operate it. In fact, he just injected some ordinary chakra of similar properties that he had refined himself, creating the illusion that the task was completed.
After doing all this, he quietly left the hospital and walked towards the root base.
Reporting back is only the first step. The real challenge is how to find irrefutable evidence of his collusion with the Black Feather Organization right under Danzo’s nose!
At the same time, he once again used [Black Feather Sensing] to scan the base.
This time, he clearly felt that the black feather energy in the base seemed to be more active than during the day.
In particular, the fluctuations coming from deep within the laboratory became increasingly obvious.
What is hidden there?
Chapter 26: Feigning Compromise and Finding Secrets (Old Version)
Lin Feng held the special container containing the fake chakra sample in his hand and walked back to the cold and damp root base step by step.
His expression was calm, even with a hint of fatigue from completing the mission.
However, his heart was already in turmoil.
[Black Feather Sensing] is like the most sophisticated radar, scanning the surroundings frantically.
The black feather energy in the air was more active and denser than when he left during the day. It was like sticky ink, silently seeping into every inch of space, bringing with it sickening evil and coldness.
What the hell is going on in this place?
As soon as he stepped through the heavy steel door, the Root Ninja codenamed “Ten” appeared in front of him like a ghost.
The eyes behind the mask showed no emotion, and the voice was still mechanical without any fluctuations.
“sample.”
Lin Feng handed over the container respectfully, but his heart was beating wildly in his chest.
“Tian” took the container, turned around and led the way.
“Come with me, Lord Danzo wants to see you.”
The road leading to Danzo’s office was so quiet that the only sound that could be heard was the two people’s footsteps echoing in the empty corridor.
Suddenly, “Tian” spoke seemingly casually.
“Did everything go well at the hospital last night? I heard that the guards at Konoha Hospital have been strengthened recently.”
Lin Feng’s heart was filled with alarm, but a little fear and relief appeared on his face at the right time.
The ability of [Thinking Acceleration] was activated instantly, and countless response plans flashed through the mind and were screened.
“Yes…it is a bit troublesome.”
Lin Feng’s voice was a little nervous, which perfectly matched the reaction of a Genin after carrying out a secret mission.
“The location of that ward is a bit remote, and it seems that there are twice as many patrolling Anbu as usual! I was almost discovered, and I had to go around several times before I found an opportunity to attack. When I was extracting chakra, the guy suddenly twitched, and I was so scared that my heart almost jumped out! Fortunately, nothing went wrong in the end.”
As he spoke, he adjusted his breathing rhythm and even rubbed his hands unconsciously, portraying the image of a nervous man who managed to complete the task by chance.
“Tian” listened silently, and the eyes behind the mask seemed to flicker for a moment. He did not ask any more questions, but the gaze that fell on Lin Feng seemed to be a little colder, as if he wanted to remember every change in his expression just now in his heart.
“Follow me.” He finally just turned around coldly, but Lin Feng felt that the invisible scrutiny had not disappeared.
When he saw Danzo again, Lin Feng immediately felt the scrutiny even stronger than before.
The old fox sat on the chair, his one eye as sharp as an eagle’s, as if he could see through him from inside out.
“Did you get the sample back?”
“Yes, Lord Danzo.” Lin Feng replied with his head down.
Danzo picked up the container on the table and tapped the bottle lightly with his fingers, making a dull sound.
He said he was satisfied, but his eyes were cold.
“Lin Feng, you have been a member of Root for quite some time. Tell me, what do you think of this place and Root?”
This question is simply a life-threatening one!
Lin Feng quickly calculated in his mind, but his face showed a bit of awe after “adapting” and an undisguised desire for power.
“The Root is very powerful, but also very cruel.”
He chose his words carefully and looked up at Danzo, his eyes filled with a longing for power.
“But I understand that in order to protect Konoha, some sacrifices are necessary. Weakness itself is the original sin. Here, I can feel the true power, and I can also… get closer to that power.”
He changed the subject and cleverly led the conversation to the issue he was most “concerned” about, his tone filled with strong curiosity and a hint of imperceptible eagerness.
“Master Danzo, you said before that you could teach me how to control the… Black Feather Energy in my body. I am both terrified and curious about this power. What exactly is it? How… How can I control it?”
He behaved like a young man who had just tasted the sweetness of power but was afraid of the backlash of power.
Danzo looked at him deeply, with an unfathomable arc at the corner of his mouth, but did not directly answer his question.
“If you want to hold power, you must first prove your worth and loyalty.”
He pulled out a thick stack of scrolls from under the table.
“Here are some preliminary research reports and sorting directions on the ‘special chakra properties’ that ‘Root’ has recently collected. Go to the data room and classify and archive them according to their properties and potential.” His tone was calm, but it carried an unquestionable command. “Although these data are not core, they are also confidential. Handle them carefully and don’t make any mistakes. ‘Sky’ will take you there.”
Another test!
Lin Feng understood it in his heart, but at the same time he also realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Access to core secrets!
“Yes! I will ensure that the task is completed!” He immediately accepted the order with a firm tone.
The Root’s data room was even more heavily guarded than he had imagined.
Not only are there two powerful Root ninjas guarding the door, but the interior is also filled with various perception barriers and sealing techniques.
“Tian” brought him to a table and stood at the door like a sculpture, monitoring him throughout the process.
Lin Feng took a deep breath and began to look through the information.
The more I watch, the more frightened I become!
These materials contain a lot of research on bloodline limits, special chakra mutations, and even the fusion of human and natural energy! Its depth and breadth far exceed any information made public by Konoha!
This old guy Danzo has such huge ambitions!
While he was tidying up, he was looking for an opportunity.
At this moment, a very subtle abnormal chakra fluctuation came from deep in the data room, and “Tian”‘s attention was instinctively drawn for a moment.
It was this gap of less than one tenth of a second! Lin Feng’s mind raced, and his fingers, which had been prepared long ago, brushed over the specific patterns on the scroll in his sleeves accurately, injecting chakra silently.
[Instant Shadow Rubbing Technique] was activated and hidden in an instant, and an almost imperceptible light flashed on the few scattered documents he selected, so fast that it seemed like an illusion.
When “Tian”‘s gaze refocused, Lin Feng was still busy tidying up, as if nothing had happened.
These things may not mean much individually, but when put together, we may be able to piece together useful clues!
[System prompt: A weak encrypted information flow has been detected, which is highly similar to the communication method of the Black Feather Organization. The source signal is blocked by a strong barrier and cannot be accurately located. It is recommended that the host increase the [Black Feather Sensing] level and try to track it. ]The system prompt sounded in my mind.
There is indeed something fishy!
Lin Feng’s mind moved. On the surface, he was still concentrating on organizing the information, but secretly he began to circulate his chakra quietly, stimulating the black feather fragments on his shoulder in an obscure way, trying to improve the accuracy of [Black Feather Sensing].
He wants to capture the fleeting flow of encrypted information!
At this moment, the door of the data room was suddenly pushed open.
At this moment, the door of the data room was opened from the outside, and a researcher was whispering something to “Tian” at the door, looking quite anxious.
“Tian” slightly leaned sideways to block the door, but did not close it completely.
Lin Feng remained calm on the surface, but his [Black Feather Sensing] was quietly raised to the extreme. He keenly caught several key words leaked out from the intermittent and deliberately suppressed voice: “…Experimental subject No. 3…rejection reaction…metamorphosis…interruption…”
Experimental subject? Rejection? Metamorphosis? !
Lin Feng’s ears suddenly pricked up, but his hands did not stop moving at all, as if he had not heard their conversation at all.
But his heart was already in turmoil!
“Metamorphosis”! He was so familiar with this word!
Back in the Sand Village, the “Eagle” of the Black Feather Organization mentioned the so-called “transmigration ceremony”!
Danzo was conducting a similar experiment! And something went wrong!
Restraining the shock in his heart, Lin Feng completed the data sorting task with an expressionless face.
After leaving the data room, he found a secluded place and immediately transmitted the copied fragments of documents and the key words he heard about “experimental subject” and “metamorphosis” to the one-way communication scroll left by Asuma through chakra fluctuations of special frequency.
Soon, a faint response came from the scroll.
It was written in Asuma’s handwriting: “Received. Analyze as soon as possible. Be careful, Danzo is very suspicious and may have begun to suspect you.”
Lin Feng put away the scroll, his eyes solemn.
The room assigned to him by the Root was simple and depressing, with an lingering chilly atmosphere floating in the air.
Lin Feng sat cross-legged on the bed, trying to practice meditation, but the black feather fragment on his shoulder suddenly caused waves of burning pain, which was stronger than ever before!
At the same time, his [Black Feather Sensing] jumped suddenly, and clearly captured the deepest part of the base. The horrifying energy source he had sensed before was increasing abnormally at an alarming rate, and even unstable pulsations could be faintly heard!
It seems to be related to the “experimental subject rejection” heard during the day, or some deeper changes are taking place.
It’s as if…something terrible that’s sleeping is about to be awakened due to external interference or its own process!
Chapter 27: Sneaking into the Study Room (Old Version)
Lin Feng respectfully placed the organized information scroll on the table in front of Danzo.
Danzo didn’t even raise his eyelids, but just scanned the cover of the scroll with his one eye.
“Well done.”
The voice was so calm that it seemed like he was evaluating an insignificant tool. There was no reward, no reprimand, and even less information about the Black Feather Energy that Lin Feng was trying to get.
He stretched out his bandaged fingers and tapped the tabletop lightly, making a dull thumping sound.
“The data room still needs manpower for daily maintenance and archiving. You are familiar with the situation there, so you can continue to be in charge.”
Lin Feng’s heart sank suddenly.
You bastard!
This old fox is really suspicious! He doesn’t trust him at all and intends to marginalize him completely and observe him slowly under his nose!
It seems that acting according to plan is no longer effective. If you want to get the core evidence, you can only take a risky move.
A hint of cruelty flashed across the depths of his eyes.
Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk, so do it!
The target is Danzo’s study! This old man’s most important secret is definitely hidden there!
“System! Draw the lottery for me! Designated stealth and concealment types! Advanced ones!” Lin Feng roared in his heart, and hardened his heart to invest twenty points of the lottery points he had accumulated before.
[Ding! Consume twenty lottery points to conduct an advanced directional lottery… Congratulations to the host for obtaining a one-time item: Stealth Talisman (Advanced)! ][Stealth Talisman (Advanced): After activation, it can greatly reduce the fluctuations of one’s own aura and chakra within fifteen minutes, blending into the environment. The effect gradually weakens over time. Note: It cannot completely block high-level perception ninjutsu or special pupil techniques. ]Fifteen minutes! That’s enough! Lin Feng was refreshed.
The next day, Lin Feng took the initiative to find “Tian” who followed him like a shadow.
His face was filled with just the right amount of annoyance and a hint of anxiety. “Master Tian, ​​when I was sorting out the information yesterday, I recalled that I seemed to have missed an old file on the experimental records of the early changes in the nature of wind escape techniques. That file seemed to be a little special. I want to go back and check it carefully to avoid any mistakes.”
The gaze behind the mask of “Tian” paused on his face for two seconds, as if evaluating the truth of his words. In the end, he just nodded almost imperceptibly, as a tacit agreement.
Lin Feng thanked him and turned around and walked quickly towards the data room. When he passed a corner with a blind spot in the surveillance, his chakra moved slightly, and a shadow clone with the same aura and appearance as him quietly separated and walked straight to the data room, ready to “work hard” there for a whole day.
Lin Feng’s real body, on the other hand, dived without hesitation towards the deeper part of the root base, in the direction of Danzo’s study.
Chakra circulated at the fingertips, activating the [Stealth Talisman (Advanced)] in the sleeve!
A cool and strange energy instantly enveloped his whole body, and Lin Feng felt as if he had merged with the shadows and air around him. The sound of his footsteps, breathing, and even the fluctuations of his heartbeat were greatly suppressed. He became light and his sense of existence dropped to freezing point.
His toes tapped lightly on the cold stone ground, making almost no sound. Relying on his memory of the base route and his keen insight into the hidden chakra traps and perception barriers along the way through [Black Feather Sensing], he moved quickly and accurately through the intricate passages like an invisible wind.
Finally, he stopped at his destination—outside the door of Danzo’s study.
There was a root elite standing on each side of the door. They wore pure white masks without any markings, and crossed their arms, like two lifeless statues. But Lin Feng could clearly sense the chakra flowing in their bodies. They were calm and condensed, and their strength was definitely close to that of a jonin, and they were specialized in assassination and protection!
Lin Feng pressed his body tightly into the shadow of the passage, even slowing down his breathing to the extreme. His [Enhanced Chakra Perception] ability was running at its limit, like a sophisticated instrument, analyzing the extremely subtle habits of the two guards – the interval between each breath, the tiny fluctuations of chakra flow, the fixed angles of vision, and even the edges and alternating patterns of their unconscious diffusion of perception fields.
Got it!
About every thirty seconds, the two people will have an extremely brief moment of crossed eyes and overlapping perceptions, and in the 0.2 seconds before that, a tiny perception vacuum zone will be created due to the adjustment of posture!
Seizing the opportunity that happened faster than the blink of an eye, Lin Feng pushed the effect of the [Stealth Talisman] to the extreme. His body seemed to have lost weight and stuck to the ground, like a piece of dust blown by the wind, sliding silently into the tiny gap under the door!
The furnishings in the study were surprisingly simple, even a little plain. There were several rows of tall bookshelves against the wall, filled with scrolls and books. A large solid wood desk was placed in the middle of the room, and there was nothing else. The air was filled with the musty smell of old paper and the faint scent of ink, but what was even more impossible to ignore was the strong, almost indissoluble, cold and evil Black Feather energy!
The source of this aura, without a doubt, is the desk that Danzo uses on a daily basis!
Time is running out!
Lin Feng did not hesitate at all. He immediately rushed to the desk as quietly as a raccoon cat, quickly formed seals with his fingers in his sleeves, and injected chakra accurately.
【Instant Shadow Rubbing Technique】Activate!
A barely detectable light lit up from his fingertips, ready to quickly copy all the files piled on the desk, no matter how ordinary they looked!
Just when the light of rubbing was about to complete the scanning and covering——
Buzz!
Lin Feng’s [Black Feather Sensing] felt like being pricked by a needle, and suddenly there was a violent throbbing!
A strong warning sign exploded in my mind!
Location…under the desk!
From inside a cleverly hidden compartment, there were bursts of extremely special and strong chakra fluctuations, and the fluctuation pattern carried the unique encrypted communication characteristics of the Black Feather Organization!
Found it! It’s definitely a solid product!
Lin Feng’s heart was pounding wildly. He suppressed his excitement and groped under the cold table with his fingers quickly and carefully. Sure enough, in an extremely hidden corner, he touched a tiny buckle that was almost integrated with the wood grain.
Just a tap.
Click.
A secret compartment slid open silently.
There was no gold, silver, or jewelry, nor any secret scrolls, only a palm-sized, pitch-black scroll quietly lying there. The surface of the scroll was engraved with complicated, twisted, ominous black feather-like runes, which were very similar to the communication methods used by the Black Feather Organization members “Crow” and “Eagle” he had encountered before!
At this moment, some of the runes on the scroll were faintly flashing a dim red light, like breathing, and were obviously in a state of activation, standby, or just receiving some information!
“Damn it! I caught you, old fox!”
Lin Feng almost couldn’t help laughing out loud. If this thing was brought in front of the Third Hokage, how would Danzo try to argue?
He immediately adjusted the scanning angle and range of [Instant Shadow Copying Technique] and included this black communication scroll in the copy object!
However, just as the light of the rubbing technique covered the communication scroll—
Lin Feng’s [Black Feather Sensing] once again issued a sharp alarm!
A familiar, cold, powerful chakra with a unique sinister aura was moving towards the study at an extremely fast speed from deep within the base!
It’s Danzo!
Damn! Why did this old man come back at this time instead of earlier or later? !
Lin Feng’s scalp was about to explode! His adrenaline surged instantly!
He almost instinctively interrupted the [Instant Shadow Rubbing Technique] and pushed the secret compartment back to its original position with his fingers as fast as lightning to make sure it was tightly fitted. At the same time, he quickly wiped the edge of the tabletop that he might have touched with his sleeve to erase any possible traces.
His eyes quickly scanned the entire study room like a radar. The bookshelf was too full, there was no way to fit anything in! Under the table? That would be the first thing to be checked!
Empty! This damn study is too empty!
At this critical moment, his eyes suddenly fixed on a huge ink landscape painting hanging on the side wall!
No choice!
Lin Feng flashed to the scroll almost instantly and pushed the last remaining effect of the [Stealth Talisman] to its limit.
He pressed his entire body tightly against the narrow gap between the cold, hard wall and the back of the scroll, holding his breath, his heart beating so wildly that it almost broke his ribs, and he forcibly compressed and converged all his breath and chakra fluctuations, disguising himself as a piece of cold stone!
Squeak——
The heavy study door was pushed open from the outside.
The single eye under Danzo’s bandaged right arm was as sharp as a hawk, slowly scanning every corner of the room with scrutiny and coldness. The invisible chakra perception spread out like a fine spider web, trying to capture any abnormality.
Lin Feng’s heart stopped! He could even feel that gaze sweeping across the wall and across the scroll where he was hiding.
His back was instantly soaked with cold sweat, and every nerve was stretched to the limit. He didn’t even dare to blink, fearing that the slightest movement would expose himself.
Time seemed to be infinitely stretched, and every second felt like a century.
Danzo’s gaze seemed to linger on the ink painting for half a second longer.
Lin Feng’s mind was blank and only prayer was left.
Finally, Danzo didn’t seem to notice anything unusual. He walked to the desk and picked up a document, as if he was just coming back to get something. Then he turned around and left the study again, his footsteps gradually fading away.
It was not until the footsteps completely disappeared at the end of the corridor that Lin Feng’s tense nerves suddenly relaxed. He gasped for breath as if he had just been pulled out of the water, and his muscles trembled slightly due to excessive tension.
Damn… I’m so scared! This old guy is so perceptive!
Not daring to delay or stay for even a moment, he immediately flashed out from behind the scroll and felt that the effect of the [Stealth Talisman] was rapidly fading and the energy fluctuations were beginning to become unstable.
He used up all his strength and reached a speed beyond his limit, running along the same route he came from, heading towards the agreed meeting point with his shadow clone.
Just when the last trace of the effect of the [Stealth Talisman] completely dissipated and his breath and chakra fluctuations became clearly perceptible again, he just rushed around a corner, exchanged positions with the shadow clone waiting there, and released the shadow clone.
The whole process was extremely thrilling and seamless.
But at this moment Lin Feng only felt his head buzzing, his mental strength seemed to be drained, and a feeling of fatigue surged like a tide.
Chapter 28 Fatal Test Border Trip (Old Version)
The night was as dark as ink. The figures of Lin Feng and Sarutobi Asuma were hidden in the shadow of an abandoned warehouse in Konoha Village. The air was filled with the smell of dust and rotten wood.
Lin Feng handed over several thin rubbings made using the [Instant Shadow Rubbing Technique] to Asuma, along with a detailed description of the strange black communication scroll.
Asuma twisted the cigarette he had just lit, and the flickering light of the cigarette butt reflected on his solemn face. He leaned closer to the firelight, carefully identifying the blurred handwriting on the rubbing and the replica pattern of the scroll runes, his brows twisted into a shape of a “川”.
“The runes on this communication scroll… the complexity and encryption method are definitely what is used for the highest-level communications within the Black Feather Organization, there’s no doubt about it!” Asuma confirmed in a low voice, his fingertips lightly brushing over the replica rune pattern, as if he could feel the evil power contained within.
He took a deep breath of smoke, and the smoke rings he exhaled slowly dissipated in the night, carrying an indescribable heaviness. “And these documents…’special materials’…’handover location’…’quantity’…” Asuma’s voice was full of suppressed anger, almost squeezed out from between his teeth, “‘Special materials’? Humph, you can tell with your toes that this is fucking referring to human sacrifices! The Root is secretly trading these ‘materials’ for experiments with some unknown force!”
Asuma’s face was terribly gloomy, and he pressed the cigarette butt hard on the wet ground.
“The evidence is very indicative. The old thief Danzo is definitely colluding with the Kuroba organization. There is no doubt about that.” Asuma paused, his tone somewhat helpless, “But… it’s not enough. Without a written order from Danzo, or his signature, we can’t form a complete chain of evidence. We need something that can directly nail him down, to prove that he is not only colluding with Kuroba, but is also directing these live experiments and transactions that are endangering the village.”
He looked at Lin Feng with sharp eyes: “The old man needs such ironclad evidence to shut up the elders and consultants and completely eliminate the root cause with one fatal blow. Otherwise, that old fox Danzo can just push out a few scapegoats to suppress the matter.”
“The Third Hokage means that we need more powerful and irrefutable evidence.”
Returning to the gloomy and depressing root base, Lin Feng immediately noticed the subtle change in the atmosphere.
The look in Danzo’s eyes when he looked at him completely lost the scrutiny and probing that had been there before, leaving only a pure coldness and indifference, as if he was looking at a tool that had lost its usefulness and could be discarded at any time.
The tasks assigned to him also confirmed this, which were all marginal chores such as cleaning up abandoned training grounds and sorting out expired files. What was even more frightening was that no matter where he went, the Root Ninja codenamed “Sky” followed him like a ghost, and the gaze behind the mask seemed to be locked on him with a substantial chill.
Ubiquitous surveillance and bone-chilling hostility.
The huge pressure was like a substance that enveloped him. Lin Feng felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. He could even clearly feel that the black feather fragment in his body was becoming extremely active in this high concentration of negative energy environment, like a beating heart, and every beat brought a sharp burning pain.
The effect of the inhibitory potion given by Asuma is rapidly disappearing, and the power to suppress the pain is getting weaker and weaker.
[Ding! System warning: The host has been in a high concentration of negative energy environment for a long time, and the speed of black feather energy erosion has significantly accelerated! The risk of uncontrollable changes in the body has greatly increased! The current inhibitor effect is less than 15%, and it is expected to be completely ineffective within 48 hours! It is recommended that the host complete the [Black Feather Purification] task as soon as possible, or immediately find other temporary suppression methods! ]The cold system prompt in his mind was like an alarm bell, causing Lin Feng’s heart to tighten suddenly. Time was running out, and he had to break through as soon as possible!
Just when he was extremely anxious, Danzo’s summons suddenly came.
It was still the same cold and depressing office without any extra decoration. Danzo sat behind the desk and threw a scroll in front of Lin Feng with an expressionless face.
“There is an ‘unstable’ experimental subject who needs to be immediately transferred to the ‘Second Base’ located on the border of the Land of Fire.” Danzo’s voice was steady without a trace of ripples, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
“This test subject is extremely important to the research of the Root. There must be no mistakes.” He raised his eyes, and the part of his eye covered by the bandage seemed to move. “I will send Tian and four other Root elites to accompany you to escort you and ensure that nothing goes wrong.”
Lin Feng’s pupils contracted instantly.
Escorting the “unstable” experimental subject? To a distant border? And sending Tian and four other elites to “escort” them?
What is this old fox up to? !
A trap! This is definitely a trap! Or rather, this is his final test—a test that will most likely lead to his doom!
He forced himself to suppress the turmoil in his heart, and remained calm on the surface, but secretly activated the [Black Feather Sensing] and carefully reached out to the “experimental subject” mentioned in the corner of the office – a huge coffin sealed with layers of heavy metal and a large number of gleaming rune restraint devices.
An extremely powerful, violent and chaotic chakra wave suddenly impacted his perception! The wave contained a strong wind attribute, but was full of tyranny and ominous aura, as if a captive beast was roaring wildly. What shocked Lin Feng even more was that in the depths of the violent energy, he also caught a very weak sign of life, like a candle in the wind!
“Yes, Lord Danzo!” Lin Feng lowered his eyelids and responded respectfully, his heart already in turmoil.
After leaving Danzo’s office, Lin Feng immediately looked for an opportunity. In a corner where no one was paying attention, he used a special one-way communication scroll to quickly pass the mission information and his own guess – this was most likely a trap set by Danzo to eliminate him – to Asuma.
The scroll turned to ashes. After a moment, new information emerged: Asuma said he had received it and would arrange for personnel to secretly respond at the border area as soon as possible, but the words were filled with unprecedented seriousness: “Be careful! This old dog Danzo may use someone else’s knife to kill someone. He may let the people of the Kuroba Organization, or even the people he sent to ‘escort’ you, take action to completely eliminate you, the hidden danger! Don’t die!”
The night before departure, Lin Feng sat alone in the simple room assigned by the Root Division, which could almost be described as bare, feeling uneasy. The burning pain from the black feather fragment on his shoulder became stronger and stronger, as if urging him to do something. The danger of this mission was far greater than any previous one, and he had to be fully prepared to increase any possible chance of survival.
“System! Damn it, let’s go all out! Draw the lottery for me! The advanced one!” He gritted his teeth and communicated with the system through his mind, consuming his only remaining 2 points for the advanced lottery.
[Ding! Consume 2 advanced lottery points to conduct advanced lottery… Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Skill Upgrade Card (Wind Style) x1, Special Item: Chakra Concealment Cloak (One-time) x1! ]Here it comes! Lin Feng was delighted and chose to use the skill upgrade card without hesitation!
[Ding! Use the Skill Upgrade Card (Wind Style), and the level of Wind Style: Black Feather Slash is raised to Intermediate! ]Instantly, a deeper understanding and application skills of Wind Style flooded into his mind. Lin Feng clearly felt that his perception and control of wind had been improved to a higher level, especially [Wind Style: Black Feather Cutting]. Not only did the power have a qualitative leap, but the guidance and integration of black feather energy also became smoother and more comfortable, like an extension of the arm. The [Chakra Concealing Cloak (Disposable)] lay quietly in the system space, emitting weak spatial fluctuations, which might save his life at a critical moment.
The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, the escort team set off on time.
The atmosphere was so oppressive that water could drip out of it. Lin Feng walked in the middle of the team. The heavy metal coffin was carried by four silent Root ninjas, making a slight metal friction sound. He could clearly feel that the eyes of “Tian” who was walking in front and leading the way, as well as the four Root members around him, cast at him with undisguised cold murderous intent!
It seems that Asuma’s guess is completely correct. The order these people received is probably not just as simple as “escort”. Maybe the “accidental” sacrifice of an escort member on the way is the real mission goal for them. Lin Feng secretly complained: “It seems that I, a ‘temporary worker’, have not been able to get into the core management of the root after all.”
The team walked silently through the vast and dense primeval forest of the Land of Fire. The towering ancient trees blocked out the sun, and the thick trunks were covered with mosses. The light in the forest was dim, and only a few rays of sunlight could stubbornly penetrate the gaps between the layers of branches and leaves, casting mottled spots of light on the wet dead leaves. There were only monotonous footsteps and the occasional chirping of insects and birds around.
Sudden!
Without any warning, Lin Feng’s [Black Feather Sensor] was like being pierced by several red-hot steel needles, and suddenly issued the highest level of alarm!
Several suffocatingly powerful chakra fluctuations are approaching from all directions at an astonishing and completely unreasonable speed!
Some of the chakras… carried an extremely strong, pure, and disgusting aura of evil and madness unique to the Black Feather Organization!
Almost at the same moment!
“Swish, swish, swish—!”
A sharp sound of breaking through the air suddenly rang out! Countless kunai and shurikens flashing with cold light, like a dark swarm of death bees, burst out from the shadows of all angles in the forest with deadly murderous intent!
Immediately following was a violent explosion! A detonating talisman was accurately thrown not far in front of the team, and the powerful shock wave mixed with flames and smoke instantly blew several large trees that were as thick as a man’s embrace in half! Wood chips flew everywhere!
The violent attack broke out without any warning!
The target of the attack was very clear, and the firepower covered the entire team, but a considerable part of the attack was directed directly at the mysterious experimental subject’s coffin, and him – Lin Feng himself!
Lin Feng’s heart suddenly felt cold.
The situation is several times more complicated and dangerous than expected!
This was not just a test or a trap carefully planned by Danzo to eliminate dissidents. The people from the Black Feather Organization appeared at this place and time with incredible precision, like sharks smelling blood!
The Root wants him dead, and Hei Yu also wants to snatch or destroy the experimental subjects. By the way, they may also want to kill him, the guy who ruined a lot of their good things!
He made a judgment in an instant – he was caught in the middle! He had to fight his way out of the joint attack of the “teammates” at the root who might turn against him at any time and the brutal Black Feather Organization!
The trap has been set and the hunt has officially begun!
Chapter 29: Fatal Killing Situation Changes (Old Version)
Swish, swish, swish!
The shadows in the forest seemed to come alive. More than a dozen dark shadows appeared like ghosts, landing silently on the surrounding tree trunks and open spaces. They were so swift that they didn’t seem human. They landed almost without a sound, and exuded a chilling murderous intent. Each person’s face was covered with a different bird mask – the sharpness of a goshawk, the gloom of an owl, the ominousness of a crow… They were the killers of the Black Feather Organization!
Lin Feng’s [Black Feather Sense] instantly captured the chakra strength of these guys, and his heart sank. Most of them were above the level of Chunin, and there were two or three with particularly strong auras, definitely special Jonin! And the guy in the lead, wearing a falcon-shaped mask, had condensed and exploded chakra, and the speed was so fast that only a series of blurred afterimages were left. It was obvious that he was an extremely difficult top master!
“Enemy attack! Form a formation! Protect the experiment!” The Root Ninja codenamed “Sky” reacted very quickly, and issued a low command almost at the same time as the black shadow landed. Without any hesitation, he moved like lightning and took the initiative to meet the “Falcon” with the strongest aura and the fastest speed! Chakra burst out instantly, and the two collided in the blink of an eye, stirring up a strong airflow.
The other four Root members also took action immediately, with standard and efficient movements, and spread out in an instant, each intercepting two or three Black Feather Killers. The sharp sound of kunai colliding, the explosion of ninjutsu, and the dull sound of fists and feet hitting immediately reverberated violently in the forest, and the turbulent flow of chakra raged, shaking the leaves to fall.
“Lin Feng! Guard the coffin! Don’t let anyone get close!” “Tian”‘s voice came amid the sound of fierce fighting, and it sounded a little hurried.
But Lin Feng’s brows knitted tightly. Something was wrong!
Several Black Feather members wearing crow and owl masks had extremely strange movements. They did not fight with the Root members who tried to intercept them. Instead, they were like slippery loaches. After a few feints, they easily bypassed the Root’s initial defense line. Their target could not be clearer – it was him and the heavy metal coffin!
“Swish! Swish! Puff!” The thousand blades, which were quenched with dark green venom, shot at Lin Feng’s vital points like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue! Then, several detonating talismans seemed to have eyes, spinning and flying towards the coffin and the place where he stood! The attacks of these guys were extremely vicious and cruel, leaving no room for any chance, and every move was aimed at mutual destruction or instant kill!
“Fuck! Are you serious?!” Lin Feng’s eyes instantly turned cold and he cursed. These guys really wanted to kill him and take the coffin! He was forced to draw his kunai, his muscles instantly tensed, chakra circulated, and he narrowly blocked and dodged the fatal attack.
“Wind Style: Black Feather Cutting!” He did not dare to delay and immediately launched the attack ninjutsu he mastered. Several dark-blue wind blades that were integrated with black feather energy whistled and slashed towards the black feather killers.
However – “Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall!” “Water Style: Water Array Wall!” Almost at the moment when the wind blade was formed, two thick earth walls and a rotating water curtain rose from the ground, accurately blocking the front of the wind blade! The wind blade hit them, only stirring up a burst of earth and stone debris and water splashes, greatly reducing its power!
Damn it! Lin Feng’s heart trembled. These Black Feather members obviously knew something about him, and they might even know that he had mastered the Wind Style that integrated the Black Feather’s energy. They even prepared the restraining ninjutsu in such a timely manner! Was the information leaked? Or was it given by Danzo on purpose?
In the fierce battle, Lin Feng felt something was wrong, and the doubts and chills in his heart became heavier. He kept an eye on the battlefield, and with his [Black Feather Sensing] and fighting instinct, he keenly noticed that the fighting style of the four Root members was full of deliberate “coincidences”! They seemed to be fighting bloody battles with the people of the Black Feather Organization, and the ninjutsu was going back and forth, but their movements and positions unconsciously formed a shrinking pocket, which quietly directed the main attack direction and pressure to him!
Moreover, they claimed to be protecting the experimental subjects, but their interception actions when the attacks occasionally affected the coffins seemed slow and perfunctory! Rather than protection, it was more like “guarding” the coffins from being completely destroyed!
[Ding! System prompt: Abnormal chakra fluctuations of root members detected, weak traces of mental control or psychological suggestion! Its subconscious instructions conflict with the surface mission instructions, and there is a high degree of potential hostility to the host! ]The cold system prompt sound in my mind sounded like an alarm bell!
Lin Feng’s heart suddenly sank, and a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head! Sure enough! His worst guess became a reality! Danzo, this old fox, was so vicious! Not only did he dig a big hole for him, but he also tampered with the Root subordinates who were sent to “protect” him! He ordered them to sacrifice this “outsider” without hesitation at the critical moment! Even… he might have reached some kind of dirty deal with the Black Feather Organization a long time ago, using his life, Lin Feng, in exchange for some benefits or… diverting attention!
Just at the moment when Lin Feng’s mind was racing!
“Swish!” The “Falcon”, who had been fighting fiercely with “Sky”, suddenly let out a sharp scream, and his speed suddenly increased again! His body turned into a blurry black line that was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye. He shook off the entanglement of “Sky” as if teleporting, and his five fingers gathered into sharp claws, with a sharp scream that tore through the air, he went straight to Lin Feng’s defenseless back!
And what about Ten, who was supposed to intercept? He symbolically threw a kunai, but the angle and force were ridiculous. Rather than intercepting, it was more like clearing the flight path for Falcon’s fatal attack! He was too lazy to even pretend? !
Fuck! Is this even an act?! Lin Feng’s pupils instantly shrank to the size of a needle tip! The speed and killing intent of this attack far exceeded any of the previous attacks! The shadow of death instantly enveloped him!
It was a critical moment! There was no time to think! The chakra in Lin Feng’s body was circling like a flood, and the newly upgraded [Wind Style: Black Feather Slash (Intermediate)] was activated instinctively!
“Buzz!” A dark green wind blade that was more solid, sharper and faster rotating than before appeared out of thin air behind him. With the momentum to cut through everything, it rushed towards the “Falcon”‘s claws that were sharp enough to pierce through steel!
“Dang!!” A deafening, sharp explosion sounded, as if metal was torn apart!
Lin Feng only felt an irresistible and terrifying force transmitted from the kunai to his arm, and then to his whole body! His entire right arm instantly lost consciousness, and his bones seemed to be wailing! His throat felt sweet, and he almost spit out a mouthful of blood. His body staggered forward uncontrollably for several steps before he could barely stabilize himself.
So strong! The power of the intermediate wind blade was greatly increased, but he could only barely block this attack! The strength of this “Falcon” is definitely the top among the jonin, and he may even have touched the threshold of the Kage level!
However, after this incident was stopped, an even bigger change soon followed!
The shock wave from the earth-shattering collision just now swept through like a gust of wind, inevitably hitting the heavy metal coffin!
“Crack! Crack!” The complex and mysterious seal runes on the surface of the coffin suddenly burst into dazzling light, flashing wildly for a few times, like a light bulb with poor contact, and then quickly dimmed! Then, with a teeth-grinding cracking sound, a clear half-finger-wide crack appeared on the heavy and solid metal coffin lid!
“boom–!!!”
A special chakra that is difficult to describe in words, extremely violent and chaotic, like a volcano that has been suppressed for thousands of years, suddenly erupted from the narrow gap! It was like a materialized storm sweeping across the entire clearing in the forest!
That chakra was filled with an aura of incomparable brutality, destruction, and chaos, as if it was going to tear everything around it into pieces! But the strange thing was that within this violence, there was also some extremely pure and condensed wind attribute!
“Um?!”
“What?!”
In an instant, the entire chaotic battlefield seemed to be paused by an invisible hand!
Whether it was the Black Feather members who were fighting frantically or the Root Ninjas who had their own plans, they were all suddenly hit by this sudden, extremely high-level terrifying chakra and their movements suddenly stopped! Everyone’s eyes were filled with unbelievable horror and a hint of fear from instinct!
Lin Feng was closest to the coffin, and he was hit the hardest! When the violent chakra storm swept through his body, he felt all the hair on his body stand up, and his soul seemed to tremble!
But he immediately widened his eyes in shock! Because he clearly felt that this strange, violent, destructive chakra, the moment it touched his body, actually…actually produced an extremely strange and extremely strong resonance with the wind attribute chakra he cultivated in his body and the energy contained in the black feather fragment!
It’s like… the same source of power that has been lost for many years finally meets again after being separated by a long period of time and space, calling each other and attracting each other!
[Ding! System emergency alert: Super high concentration of homologous (wind attribute variation) chakra core energy detected! ! The compatibility with the host’s chakra attribute and black feather energy is determined to be: extremely high! Extremely high! Extremely high! Important things must be said three times! ! The energy core is detected to be out of control without a master! It is strongly recommended that the host immediately try to absorb or guide this energy! Estimated success rate: high! ]In my mind, the system notification sound was more urgent than ever before, and even had a hint of… excitement?
Super high concentration of homologous chakra? Extremely high compatibility? Absorption?!
Lin Feng’s heart began to beat like a drum, and blood rushed to his brain instantly! Danger? Of course it was dangerous! This energy was so violent that it could tear everything apart! But opportunity? This was definitely a great opportunity! Once successful… his strength would definitely skyrocket! He could also solve the hidden dangers of the Black Feather energy!
Fortune and wealth are sought in danger! Take a chance and become a jonin!
Done!
A hint of madness and determination flashed across Lin Feng’s eyes for a moment, and there was no more hesitation!
Taking advantage of the brief gap when everyone around him was still in shock, daze, and unable to move due to the impact of the terrifying chakra, he suddenly took a step forward, stretched out his trembling but firm right hand, and poured all the chakra in his body, without reservation and desperately, into the crack of the coffin that was constantly gushing out violent energy!
Go for it! Take a gamble! Try to guide the terrifying energy that is about to get out of control!
Almost at the moment when Lin Feng’s chakra touched the violent energy core!
Something incredible happened!
The mutated wind-attribute chakra, which was originally extremely violent, unruly, and seemed to want to destroy the entire world, when it came into contact with Lin Feng’s chakra, was like finding a long-lost relative, and it was like finding the only harbor to dock!
It instantly became docile! Then… with an almost greedy and crazy attitude, it followed the chakra that Lin Feng had probed into it as a guide, and like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, it surged into his body in an overwhelming and mighty manner!
“Aa …
The excruciating pain instantly spread throughout his body! Lin Feng felt that his meridians were like fragile glass tubes, being washed, torn, and burst by the surging energy torrent! Every inch of flesh and blood, every cell, was wailing under the heavy burden! His consciousness began to blur!
But at the same time!
An unprecedented, indescribable, powerful feeling of power like a gift from the gods filled his limbs like a flood! His understanding of “wind”, his perception and control over the wind element, at this moment, soared wildly at an incredible speed! Climbing! Climbing again!
It was as if a brand new door had suddenly opened in front of him! He instantly broke through to a whole new level! His use of wind had reached a level that he had never dared to imagine before! Blue-black chakra overflowed from his body uncontrollably, forming a violent whirlwind visible to the naked eye around him!
Chapter 30: Wind Core Acquisition and Power Soaring (Old Version)
The indescribable pain flooded every nerve of Lin Feng like a tsunami.
He felt that his meridians were no longer channels, but fragile threads that were forced into the stars and were breaking and shattering inch by inch!
The violent mutated wind-attribute chakra, with its primitive desire for destruction, rampaged through his body, and began a brutal collision and tearing with his original wind-style chakra and the energy of that damn black feather fragment, and then… strangely merged!
Every second feels like a year, and every inch of flesh and blood is wailing!
His consciousness was floating in the waves of severe pain, and was almost completely torn apart.
But at this brink of collapse, a new and indescribable qualitative change was quietly taking place deep within the origin of his chakra!
The severe pain subsided for a moment, replaced by a surging sense of power.
Lin Feng suddenly discovered that the wind around him seemed to have come alive. He could clearly feel the subtle changes in every wisp of air. The flow, pressure, and even the energy properties contained in the air were all presented to his perception more clearly than ever before, as if he was born to breathe and perceive in this way.
Then, the system prompt sounded:
[【Black Feather Energy】increases the degree of fusion with the host’s chakra! Current degree of fusion: 15%! ][Congratulations to the host! Unlocked a new passive ability: [Breath of the Wind]! ][【Wind Breathing】(Passive): The host’s perception, affinity, and control of the wind element are permanently and greatly improved! The power of wind can be activated between breaths! 】
[Black Feather Sensing] seemed to have broken through some kind of barrier at this moment, and its sensing range and accuracy increased exponentially!
The whole world became completely different in his perception!
He could even clearly “see” the chakra flow trajectory of everyone on the battlefield, which was as dense as a spider web and in different colors.
The exploding and swift scarlet chakra of “Falcon”, the cold but solid dark green chakra of “Sky”, the mixed auras of other Black Feather members who were either cunning or vicious, the suppressed fluctuations of the Root members with subtle mental shackles… He could even vaguely capture the emotions surging in their hearts – shock, greed, fear, murderous intent!
This is simply a God’s perspective!
boom–!!!
An unprecedented powerful aura suddenly burst out from Lin Feng’s body!
The interwoven blue and black chakra aura rose into the sky like a burning fire, forming a violent whirlwind visible to the naked eye and spinning wildly around him!
The whirlwind spread with a roar, bringing with it an incomparable repulsive force, blowing away the Black Feather Killers and Root Ninjas who were still in a dazed state around them like fallen leaves in a strong wind!
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The figure hit the distant tree trunk like a broken sack, making a dull sound, and for a moment wailing was everywhere.
“This…how is this possible?!”
The leader wearing a falcon-shaped mask stared at Lin Feng, whose momentum was rising rapidly in the field. The look under the mask was filled with incredible shock, and… a hint of greed and strong fear that was difficult to conceal!
He actually…he actually absorbed the energy of that core? !
On the other side, the Root Ninja codenamed “Sky” also had his pupils trembling violently, and his face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it.
The plan is all messed up!
The energy core that was considered an important research material was actually intercepted by this unexpected “chess piece”? !
If Lord Danzo knew this, he would definitely be furious!
Lin Feng took a deep breath, feeling the surging power in his body that was about to burst out.
The meridians still felt a tearing pain, but more than that, there was a powerful feeling of being reborn!
Better than ever!
He felt that he could stir up a strong wind and tear the earth apart with just a thought!
His eyes turned to the metal coffin that had cracks in it.
Through the gap, he saw the scene inside.
It was a curled up young man, his body had completely shriveled up, his skin was like dry bark clinging to his bones, his eyes were tightly closed, and there was no sign of life left in him.
The only thing that remained was a trace of empty fluctuations after all the energy had been drained.
Lin Feng’s heart sank suddenly, and a cold anger instantly surged through his body!
Bullshit “unstable experimental subject”!
This is actually a living person!
A victim who was used as a container, forcibly injected with the terrifying wind-attribute chakra core, to carry and nurture this power!
Danzo!
This old guy is completely inhumane for the sake of power!
And the Black Feather Organization is not a good group either. They will stop at nothing to seize this power!
Damn it all!
“Since you want this power so much…” Lin Feng’s voice was icy cold, with a new, trembling pressure, “Then feel it well!”
The anger burns in the chest and transforms into more powerful power!
He slammed his hands together, and the new chakra in his body that was a fusion of the mutant wind core and the black feather energy began to run wildly, flowing along a mysterious and harmonious trajectory!
“Wind Style: Black Feather Storm!!”
With Lin Feng as the center, a terrifying storm visible to the naked eye, a mixture of dark blue and pitch black, broke out in an instant and swept across the entire battlefield, like hell descending!
This is no ordinary wind!
In the storm, there are billions of extremely tiny but extremely sharp [Black Feather Cutting] wind blades!
They spun and cut at high speed along with the strong wind, making teeth-grinding screams. Wherever they passed, whether it was thick trees or hard rocks, they were instantly cut into pieces, leaving behind a mirror-smooth surface!
The power is many times stronger than the previous intermediate [Wind Style: Black Feather Slicing]!
“Aaaaa——!”
“Puff! Puff!”
Those members of the Black Feather Organization who had just climbed up and had not yet reacted, including a few Root ninjas who were a little closer, had no time to make any effective defense!
They were instantly caught in this terrifying black storm!
The protective chakra was torn apart easily like paper, and the tough combat uniforms turned into strips of cloth in an instant. Then, countless fine blood lines burst out wildly on their bodies!
The screams stopped abruptly!
In just a few seconds, the storm passed, and a few unlucky guys were already covered in blood. They fell to the ground like broken dolls, completely losing their combat effectiveness, and it was unknown whether they were alive or dead!
“Retreat! Retreat quickly!!”
“Falcon” is so scared! How could this kid’s power suddenly increase to this extent? !
The power of this ninjutsu is already close to the Kage level!
If they don’t leave now, all of them will die here!
“The target’s energy has been absorbed. This person’s power is strange and unstable. It is too risky to fight head-on. We must retreat immediately and bring back the intelligence!” He let out an extremely sharp scream, which was the signal for the Black Feather Organization to retreat urgently!
Finally, he looked at Lin Feng deeply with a look of extreme resentment, as if saying: I will remember you, just wait for me!
Then, without hesitation, he turned into a stream of light and took the remaining few Black Feather members who could still move, and fled into the depths of the dense forest without looking back, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
On the battlefield, only Lin Feng and a few stunned and confused Root members were left.
The ninja code-named “Tian” had a changing expression and looked at Lin Feng with extremely complicated eyes.
Shock, fear, disbelief, and a hint of deeply hidden murderous intent.
But he didn’t move.
He seemed to be weighing, or rather, waiting for some instruction from deep within his roots that could not be delivered through normal communications.
Lin Feng endured the severe pain and weakness brought by the fusion of energy inside his body. The blue-black chakra whirlwind on his body gradually subsided, revealing his slightly pale face but eyes as sharp as a knife.
He stared at the “sky” coldly, his voice carrying a hint of mockery:
“What? Do you want to continue fighting?”
“Or are you going to go back and report to Master Danzo and tell him… that the experimental subject was ‘accidentally’ destroyed in the attack of the Black Feather Organization?”
“Tian”‘s body stiffened slightly.
Lin Feng’s words accurately hit the point that was most troubling him at the moment.
Continue fighting?
After absorbing the Core of Wind, the boy in front of him became unfathomable in strength. He saw clearly the power of the “Black Feather Mist” move just now. Even if he tried his best, he might not be able to get any benefit, and he might even lose his life here.
Go back and report?
The mission failed and the core energy was taken away by outsiders. Lord Danzo will definitely not forgive him!
silence.
A deathly silence permeated the woods.
Finally, the murderous intent in Tian’s eyes slowly disappeared, replaced by a cold resigned look.
He looked at Lin Feng deeply, without saying anything, but just made a gesture to retreat.
The remaining few Root members seemed to be pardoned. They immediately helped up their injured companions, stared at Lin Feng vigilantly, retreated quickly, and disappeared into the dense forest.
call……
It was not until the breath of the last Root ninja completely disappeared from the perception range that Lin Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. His tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and a strong feeling of weakness and fatigue surged over him like a tide, making him almost stumble and fall to the ground.
He quickly held onto the tree trunk next to him, breathing heavily, his clothes soaked with sweat.
[Ding! System prompt: [Black Feather Purification] mission status updated! ][A major change in the host’s energy structure has been detected! The wind attribute mutated chakra core energy has initially merged with the host’s chakra and black feather energy! ][Warning: Energy fusion causes the Black Feather’s energy characteristics to mutate, greatly increasing the difficulty of purification! ][Hint: The initial purification direction has been found – using the energy of the same origin and higher level as the basis for guidance and suppression, gradually assimilating or expelling the negative characteristics of Black Feather. ][The energy of the [Wind Core] currently absorbed can be used as a purification primer. Please find a follow-up plan as soon as possible! ]The system’s prompt sounded again, which cheered Lin Feng up, but also brought a sense of solemnity.
Is the difficulty of purification increased?
However, I finally found a clear direction and am no longer a headless fly.
The core of wind…this thing is the key to breaking the deadlock!
He glanced at the empty metal coffin on the ground that exuded an ominous aura, and his eyes became extremely determined.
Danzo, the Black Feather Organization… I’ve made note of this!
Chapter 31: Undercurrent of Roots (Old Version)
Lin Feng dragged the empty metal coffin that exuded an ominous aura, as if dragging a heavy secret, and moved step by step back to the cold and depressing root base.
The Root members he met along the way looked at him like ice-hardened knives, silently scraping past him and then looking away indifferently.
The air here is always filled with a strange smell mixed with disinfectant and a faint smell of blood.
He carefully cleaned up all traces left at the battle scene, making sure there were no loopholes pointing to him.
As for how to report to Danzo, he had already prepared a plan.
Danzo was the only one in the dark reception room.
He sat in the main seat, his bandaged right arm resting on the armrest, and his whole body seemed to blend into the shadows.
Lin Feng knelt on one knee and “confessed” everything he had prepared long ago, using a tone that carried the shock of “surviving a calamity” and the regret of “mission failure”.
The team was ambushed by the Black Feather Organization, the enemy was powerful and well prepared, they fought desperately, and finally the experimental body was accidentally destroyed in the melee, and they luckily absorbed some of the dissipated energy and barely repelled the enemy… Every detail has been carefully polished, and it sounds reasonable, with no obvious loopholes.
Danzo listened without any expression.
The single eye was fixed on Lin Feng, its sharp gaze almost penetrating his body and seeing into the depths of his soul.
The air froze, and it was so oppressive that it made people unable to breathe.
Lin Feng remained kneeling on one knee, beads of cold sweat oozing from his forehead and his heart beating wildly in his chest, but he forced himself to remain calm, his eyes revealing only the right amount of “fear” and “reluctance”.
For a long, long time.
Danzo’s cold voice finally broke the silence: “Waste!”
Those two words were like an icicle piercing into my bones.
“You can’t even protect an important experimental subject! The Root doesn’t need incompetent people!”
His tone was cold, but surprisingly he did not delve into the matter of Lin Feng absorbing energy, nor did he even ask about the specific situation of the energy.
Lin Feng’s heart moved slightly, and [Black Feather Sensing] captured the surging, almost uncontrollable anger and… extremely hidden regret beneath Danzo’s calm appearance!
He understood instantly!
Danzo, this old fox, doesn’t care about the life or death of the victim! What he cares about is the [Wind Core]! That powerful force that should have been in his pocket, but now it has been intercepted by an “outsider” like him! This is the source of his anger! The experimental body can be recreated if it is destroyed, but this special core energy is absolutely rare! He disrupted Danzo’s plan!
“The mission failed and the punishment should have been severe.”
Danzo’s voice returned to its calm state. “Considering that you repelled the attackers from the Black Feather Organization, your merits and demerits are offset. But you are no longer fit to be involved in core affairs.”
The cold command was issued.
Lin Feng was deprived of the right to access information and was kicked back to the periphery, responsible for some chores such as cleaning and moving.
What was even more terrible was that he could clearly feel that there were at least three obscure sights, like maggots on the tarsal bones, always locking onto him, and the surveillance was more than ten times stricter than before! The guy “Tian” was like a ghost, appearing in his sight from time to time.
Damn, this is house arrest!
Lin Feng seemed submissive on the surface, doing chores numbly every day, but he was not discouraged in his heart.
It just so happened that he also needed time to digest and get familiar with the new and violent power in his body.
The super perception brought by [Breath of Wind] is like a double-edged sword. It allows him to see everything, but it also makes the omnipresent cold, oppressive, and negative aura of the root impact his mind more clearly, requiring time to adapt and master.
At the same time, the urgency to purify the [Black Feather Energy] is growing.
The solution provided by the system is very clear, but also very disappointing.
“Find a huge energy source that contains the ‘Yang’ attribute or ‘Life Force’, combine it with the [Wind Core] energy, and jointly suppress and guide the [Black Feather Energy] for a benign fusion.”
Yang attribute? Vitality?
The first thing Lin Feng thought of was the Nine-Tails Chakra in Naruto’s body.
That thing is definitely the best Yang-attribute chakra! But the question is, how do you get it? You can’t just go to Naruto and say, “Hey, man, can you lend me some Nine-Tails chakra to give me a bath?” I’m afraid I’ll be beaten to death on the spot.
The Senju clan’s Wood Release? Don’t even think about it. The first Hokage has been dead for many years.
Should we steal Captain Yamato’s cells? The risk is too great.
Just when Lin Feng was at a loss, a turning point appeared in an unexpected place.
That day, he was assigned to clean an open-air training ground deep in the roots.
The training ground was empty except for a Root member who was being punished in a detention room in the corner.
Lin Feng was sweeping the floor out of boredom. [Breathing of the Wind] allowed him to perceive the surrounding environment in great detail.
Suddenly, he paused.
He sensed it!
From that confinement room, in addition to the cold and dead chakra fluctuations unique to the Root members, there was also another completely different aura!
The breath was extremely weak, like a candle in the wind, but its essence was extremely pure, warm, and full of vitality!
It’s Yang Chakra! Absolutely correct!
In this barren land, there are actually people who possess Yang attribute chakra? !
Lin Feng’s heart was filled with turmoil, but he remained calm on the surface. He continued sweeping the floor and slowly approached the confinement room.
Through the narrow observation window, he saw the people inside.
A young boy who looked about his age, wearing the uniform of the Roots and with obvious scars on his body, was sitting cross-legged on the cold ground with his head lowered and a weak breath.
Lin Feng quietly used [Black Feather Sensing] to investigate and confirmed the other party’s code name – “Xin”.
It seems that he was beaten and put in solitary confinement because he questioned an inhumane order of Danzo.
From “Xin”, Lin Feng not only sensed the faint yang chakra, but also a suppressed unwillingness, anger, and… deeply hidden despair.
This guy…maybe we can find a breakthrough!
Lin Feng quickly made a judgment in his mind.
He did not make any contact rashly, but when he was cleaning the door of the confinement room, he “accidentally” stuffed two rice balls and a small bottle of trauma medicine hidden in his arms quietly under the crack of the door.
At the same time, there was a crumpled piece of paper with only one line of words written on it:
“Not everyone agrees with the darkness.”
After doing all this, Lin Feng left the training ground as if nothing had happened.
Over the next few days, he would repeat the same action every time he was sent to clean up, leaving behind a little food or medicine.
He could feel that “Xin” had received something.
On the third day, when Lin Feng came to the training ground again, he clearly felt that “Xin”‘s mental state had improved a lot, and the yang-attribute chakra seemed to be more active.
Through the crack in the door, “Xin”‘s eyes met his for the first time, and his eyes were filled with complex emotions – vigilance, confusion, and a little bit of… exploration.
Two more days passed.
On this day, “Xin”‘s confinement seemed to be over, and he appeared on the training ground, conducting recovery training.
When Lin Feng came to clean again, “Xin” took the initiative to come over. His movements seemed casual, but he spoke in a low voice that only the two of them could hear:
“I know what you want to do.”
Lin Feng paused in sweeping the floor and looked up at him.
“Xin”‘s eyes were sharp and firm, not at all as listless as before.
“Danzo-sama…he is carrying out an extremely crazy plan.”
Xin lowered his voice, carrying deep hatred, “It is related to the Black Feather Organization’s ‘Feathering Ceremony’ that you heard outside, but it is not exactly the same… His ambition is greater and more terrifying!”
Without waiting for Lin Feng to ask, “Xin” continued: “My family was once a medical ninja family in Konoha, and we mastered a special secret technique of using Yang attribute chakra. It was because of this that Danzo took a fancy to me and forcibly absorbed me into the root as one of the materials for his research…”
His fists clenched quietly, “I have always wanted to resist and escape from this hell, but I have no strength and no chance…”
He took a deep breath and looked at Lin Feng with burning eyes: “I heard about the escort of the experimental subjects outside. You were able to absorb that power and survive, and you were able to force back the Black Feather Organization and ‘Tian’… You are very strong, much stronger than I thought.”
“I can help you.”
Shin finally stated his purpose, “I know you want to know Danzo’s secrets, and even want to fight him. I can tell you everything I know, and even help you get to the core.”
“But…” He changed the subject, “I need you to prove your determination and ability. The Root is not a place to treat people to a meal. If you take a wrong step, there will be no recovery.”
“Do me a favor.”
Shin’s eyes flashed with determination, “In the medicine storage room of the root, there is a secret medicine that can suppress mind control. That is one of the means that Danzo uses to completely control us ‘unstable factors’. Help me steal it. As long as I get it, I can get rid of some of the control and truly trust you.”
A drug storage room? A secret drug to suppress mind control?
Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed.
This is not only about helping “Shin”, but also a key step to gaining a deeper understanding of the workings of the Root, and perhaps even finding evidence of Danzo’s collusion with other forces!
Moreover, this means that there is indeed a force of resistance within the roots!
“good.”
Lin Feng agreed without hesitation, “Tell me the specific plan.”
In a dim corner of the training ground, two young men who were also in darkness but whose hearts were toward the light, began their first dangerous conspiracy.
An infiltration operation targeting the core of the root quietly began.
Chapter 32: Panic in the Storage Room (Old Version)
The underground at the root level is like a cold maze, and every inch of the walls is permeated with depression and despair.
Lin Feng and “Xin” hid in an abandoned utility room, and with the faint light coming through the gaps in the pipes, they spread out a simple but accurate map.
This is the defense map around the medicine storage room that “Xin” secretly drew with his memory and his family’s knowledge of barriers.
“The storage room has triple defense.”
Xin’s voice was very low, and his fingertips moved across the map, “The periphery is a regular patrol, with a high frequency, but there are fixed blind spots.
The middle layer is the chakra sensing barrier, which is the most troublesome.
The innermost layer is the sealing technique of the gate itself, as well as the pressure and sound sensing traps inside. “
He paused and looked at Lin Feng: “My Yang escape chakra can interfere with the middle-level perception barrier for a short period of time, about… ten seconds.
This is the limit.
But the prerequisite is that we must first break through the outer patrol silently and reach the boundary.”
“Leave the patrol to me.”
Lin Feng nodded, confidence flashing in his eyes.
His [Breath of Wind] can clearly capture the breathing, heartbeat and movement trajectory of every guard within dozens of meters. Combined with the [Chakra Concealment Cloak] produced by the system, it is not difficult to sneak in.
“You just need to disrupt the barrier immediately after I send out the signal, and then we can go in together.”
“Xin” took a deep breath, his eyes determined.
On the eve of the operation, Lin Feng lay in the simple room assigned to him, which was like a prison cell, and his consciousness sank into the system interface.
The icon of [Black Feather Sensing] seemed to be more active. After absorbing the [Wind Core], his perception of energy had indeed reached a higher level, especially the black feather energy of the same origin.
Now he could even vaguely distinguish that the energy fluctuations of those individuals in the root base that were contaminated with black feather energy had slight differences, like different fingerprints.
This might help him find the other pawns of the Black Feather Organization at the root more quickly.
Just then, the system prompt sounded.
[Ding! Trigger a new side quest: Allies of the Roots]【Task Description: Trust is the first ray of light that breaks the darkness.
Successfully assisted ‘Xin’ in obtaining the secret medicine that suppressed mind control, and established an initial trusting relationship with him. 】
[Mission Reward: [Black Feather Sensing] range slightly increased, ‘Shin’ Yang attribute chakra characteristic information x1]“Oh? There is such a good thing.”
Lin Feng raised the corner of his mouth slightly, it seems that this adventure was the right one.
The night of the operation was dark and windy.
Deep inside the root base, a node responsible for energy supply suddenly burst into a few sparks, and then fell into a brief darkness.
Several guards in charge of the area were immediately drawn over to check out the situation – this was a small chaos created by “Xin” by taking advantage of his position.
Just as the guard left his post, a figure that almost merged with the shadow moved.
Lin Feng activated the [Chakra Concealing Cloak (One-time)], and the cloak emitted a faint wave, almost completely erasing his figure, breath, and chakra fluctuations.
At the same time, [Breath of the Wind] was running at full capacity, and the flow of the surrounding air, the remaining breath of the guards, the footsteps coming from afar… all the information was under control.
He was like a weightless fallen leaf, silently passing through layers of defense blind spots, accurately avoiding all possible traps and sights.
Soon, he arrived at the heavy metal door of the medicine storage room.
The middle-layer perception barrier emits energy fluctuations that are invisible to the naked eye, like a dense spider web.
Lin Feng gestured to “Xin” who was following him.
“Xin” immediately understood, and quickly formed seals with his hands. A weak but warm and pure yang-attribute chakra overflowed from his palms and gently covered the surface of the barrier.
Sizzle…
The energy of the barrier became disordered and delayed for a moment!
Lin Feng did not hesitate, his fingers were as fast as lightning, and he quickly operated the door lock a few times – this was the physical opening method that “Xin” told him in advance.
The heavy metal door slid open a crack silently.
The two of them immediately slipped in and the door closed automatically.
The storage room was dimly lit and the air was filled with a strong, pungent smell mixed with disinfectant and various chemicals.
But what Lin Feng was more concerned about was that there was also a thick, cold and evil aura of black feather energy mixed here!
His eyes swept across the rows of shelves, and soon, his pupils contracted slightly.
On some medicine bottles with special labels, which were obviously highly controlled substances, there was a familiar mark printed on it – a pitch-black feather!
Sure enough! Danzo and the Black Feather Organization are also colluding here! These drugs are probably used for those inhumane experiments!
“Found it!”
“Xin” suppressed his excitement, took out a palm-sized black metal box from a hidden corner, opened it carefully, and three light golden potions lay quietly inside.
The secret drug that suppresses mind control!
Xin quickly put the box away and urged.
However, just as they turned around and prepared to return the same way—
Buzz!!!
Lin Feng’s [Black Feather Sensing] suddenly erupted with an unprecedented strong alarm! Like a sharp needle piercing into the brain!
Danger! Extremely dangerous!
The source of the alarm comes from the deepest part of the storage room!
With a loud bang, a huge glass culture tank that was three meters high suddenly exploded!
The sticky green culture fluid splashed everywhere, and the fishy smell was overwhelming!
A monster with its body full of thick tubes emitting bubbles, its skin a grayish color like that of a corpse, and several muscles that had expanded abnormally and torn its skin, revealing black tissue underneath that looked like the keratin at the base of a feather. It staggered to its feet from the broken culture tank!
Its eyes were not empty, but covered by a layer of turbid white film, leaving only pure and crazy desire for destruction. The black feather energy emanating from its body was so dense that it almost formed a sticky black mist, with a disgusting smell of corruption, which instantly filled the entire space!
“not good!”
Xin’s face turned pale instantly, and he cried out in shock, “It’s the failure of the ‘Xiao’ plan! How did it get here?! And it’s out of control!”
The chakra fluctuations emitted by this thing far exceeded those of an ordinary jonin! It was even close to the level of Kage!
It’s not something they can handle at all!
“You go first! Take the medicine with you!”
Lin Feng acted decisively and pushed the “letter” towards the door, while quickly forming seals with his hands.
“Wind Style: Black Feather Slash!”
Several sharp black and blue wind blades whistled and slashed towards the staggering “failure”!
Puff puff puff!
The wind blade did hit the target, but it only left a few shallow white marks on the opponent’s leather-tough skin!
The monster didn’t even react. It just turned its head mechanically, locked its empty eyes on Lin Feng, let out an inhuman roar, and rushed over fiercely!
Very fast!
Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed. This guy not only has thick skin and flesh, but also seems to be able to absorb some of the damage caused by ninjutsu!
In trouble!
“Xin” gritted his teeth, knowing that he would only be a burden if he stayed, but he still subconsciously mobilized the remaining Yangtun chakra and set up a weak light shield in front of him, while shouting urgently: “Be careful of its claws, they can corrode chakra!” Then he immediately turned around and rushed towards the door.
Lin Feng took a deep breath, and the [Wind Core] energy and [Black Feather Energy] in his body began to run wildly under the external pressure, with a tendency to accelerate fusion!
“Wind Style: Black Feather Storm!”
He suddenly pressed his hands to the ground!
call–!!
With him as the center, a more violent and fierce black storm suddenly broke out!
The storm is not only mixed with the fine wind blades of [Black Feather Cutting], but also incorporates the high-speed rotation characteristics of [Wind Core], forming a destructive blue-black tornado!
“Wind Style: Blue-Black Storm!”
This was his initial attempt to combine the two powers after absorbing the Wind Core! The power was far greater than the previous ninjutsu!
Boom! !
The blue-black storm raged wildly, rolling the heavy metal frame into the air and smashing it hard at the rushing experimental subject!
roar!!
The experimental subject let out a painful roar for the first time. Its huge body was temporarily blocked and suppressed by the storm! Its movements became slow!
Lin Feng seized this brief opportunity, maintaining the storm while quickly forming seals with his hands. Several wind blades accurately cut off several surveillance devices in the corner!
The alarm sounded sharply at this moment!
There were hurried footsteps and shouts coming from outside! The support from the roots was coming soon!
Lin Feng didn’t dare to stay any longer. He suddenly withdrew his chakra and the storm suddenly dissipated.
He aimed at the direction and pushed the effect of [Chakra Concealment Cloak] to the extreme. His figure merged into the shadows again and he rushed out of the door like a ghost!
Just as a large number of Root ninjas rushed into the storage room and were stunned by the messy scene inside and the roaring failure, Lin Feng had already escaped from the scene dangerously and met up with the anxious “Xin” at the pre-arranged abandoned pipe entrance deeper in the room.
“Success!”
“Xin” looked at Lin Feng with complicated eyes, but more of excitement and relief.
“Walk!”
Lin Feng didn’t have time to say anything more, and pulled “Xin” into the narrow pipe.
Behind him, more violent explosions and sounds of fighting could be heard faintly from the direction of the medicine storage room.
Chapter 33: The Shocking Plan (Old Version)
Deep in the shadow of the abandoned pipe, there was only the sound of two people breathing heavily.
“Xin” held the three light golden secret medicines tightly in his palms, feeling the weak power that could resist mental erosion, and his eyes completely changed when he looked at Lin Feng.
It was a complex emotion of shock, relief, and…finally finding someone like me.
“You…the move you just made…” His voice was still trembling. It was obvious that the “blue-black storm” and the out-of-control experimental subject just now left a deep impression on him.
Lin Feng waved his hand, indicating that now was not the time to talk, but “Xin” seemed to have opened up and spoke quickly in a low voice: “Lin Feng, you saved me, and that proved your determination.
I will tell you Danzo’s true purpose!”
He took a deep breath, fear and hatred flashing in his eyes: “Danzo is not simply studying black feather energy! He is carrying out a crazy plan codenamed ‘Owl’!”
“Xiao Plan?” Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat.
“Yes!” Shin’s tone became urgent, “He wants to forcibly fuse the evil Black Feather energy with the chakra of humans, or even… maybe even the tailed beasts! He wants to create an ‘artificial tailed beast’ that is completely under his control and has destructive power! Just like the ‘Feathering Ceremony’ of the Black Feather Organization, but he doesn’t want to be a container, he wants to be a ‘god’ who controls everything!”
Artificial tailed beast! Control the power! Lin Feng felt a chill running down his spine.
Danzo’s ambition is even more twisted and huge than he imagined!
“The noise in the storage room must have alerted Danzo.” Lin Feng quickly calmed down. “He must be suspecting there is a traitor now, and the base will be more strictly guarded.”
Xin nodded vigorously, with anxiety on his face: “That’s right! We must get the most important evidence before he finds us! Otherwise we will all die!”
The two looked at each other and saw the determination in each other’s eyes.
Must take risks! Must go faster!
Shin gritted his teeth, spread out the crude map again, and pointed to an extremely remote area marked as “abandoned”: “I have checked the internal network records of the Root, combined with my family’s understanding of sealing techniques and barriers, here… there is an abandoned ventilation duct, which can theoretically bypass most of the newly built monitoring and perception systems and go directly to… the core laboratory where Danzo is carrying out the ‘Owl Project’!”
The core laboratory! That’s the place that emits the terrifying energy source!
Lin Feng’s heart suddenly shrank.
Going there is like venturing into a den of dragons and tigers!
But he didn’t hesitate: “How to go?”
Time is running out, so we have to take a gamble.
Lin Feng immediately immersed himself in the system, looked at his few remaining lottery points, and made a lottery in a specified direction – he needed a method to deal with unknown perception traps.
[Ding! Consume 3 lottery points, and successfully draw the designated “Stealth/Deception Ability”! Obtain: Advanced Illusion·False Path (One-time Scroll)! ][Advanced Illusion·False Path: After activation, a layer of illusion that lasts for ten minutes can be created on the designated path, deceiving most conventional chakra perception barriers and visual detection, making them think that the path is safe or does not exist.
Note: The effect is weakened against high-level perception ninjas or special pupil techniques. 】
That’s enough!
“I am responsible for interfering with the perception system, and you are responsible for the physical obstacles.” Lin Feng informed “Xin” of the scroll effect.
“good!”
The two men moved again, like two ghosts in the darkness.
Relying on his family’s secret techniques and familiarity with the root structure, “Xin” leads the way, dismantling the physical traps and old sealing techniques hidden in the corners.
Lin Feng followed closely behind, his mind highly focused. When he was about to pass a critical node filled with strong chakra fluctuations, he decisively tore open the scroll of [Advanced Illusion·False Path].
An invisible wave spread out like water waves, cleverly integrating into the node’s original barrier frequency, causing it to create a brief, imperceptible “cognitive blind spot”, as if the passage ahead was safe.
Lin Feng could feel that the energy of the illusion was being consumed rapidly, and it only interfered with some particularly sensitive perception points, so he had to get through it as soon as possible.
“Xin” took the opportunity to quickly open a rusty ventilation door, and the two of them crawled in.
The ventilation ducts are narrow and dusty, and the air is extremely polluted.
The deeper you crawl, the clearer and more terrifying the heart-pounding energy fluctuations become.
[Black Feather Sensing] was more active than ever before. Lin Feng could even feel that the black feather fragment implanted in his left shoulder was heating up and trembling uncontrollably, as if it was resonating with a certain existence deep inside!
Finally, an exit with a one-way observation window appeared in front.
The two men cautiously approached the window and looked inside the laboratory.
The next second, even someone as strong-willed as Lin Feng couldn’t help but gasp! Xin’s pupils suddenly shrank, and he almost cried out in surprise!
In the center of the huge laboratory, there was a purple-black piece of flesh that was so huge that it was hard to describe, and it looked like a deformed heart!
The piece of meat was still pulsating slowly, its surface covered with twisted blood vessels and runes. Countless thick tubes connected to unknown places were inserted into it, continuously injecting liquids of various strange colors and huge chakra flows visible to the naked eye!
And around that “heart”, there were actually several huge black feathers floating that were more than one person tall and exuded a strong ominous aura!
Every feather is surging with suffocating evil energy, as if it is the embodiment of hell!
This… is this the core of the “Owl Plan”? !
This is simply a monster embryo!
At the edge of the laboratory, there stood several Root members wearing special white research suits and masks, busy operating various instruments.
And among them, a figure made Lin Feng’s blood almost freeze instantly!
A man with silver-gray hair, round-frame glasses and a gentle smile was holding a data recording board and whispering something to a figure next to him, with only the lower half of his face and a bandaged arm exposed.
Pharmacist Kabuto!
He’s actually here! He’s hanging out with Danzo?!
Doesn’t that mean… Orochimaru also…? !
Countless thoughts flashed through Lin Feng’s mind in an instant, and a huge sense of crisis enveloped his heart.
Just at this moment!
Perhaps it was because the black feather fragment on Lin Feng’s shoulder resonated too strongly with the huge heart, emitting an extremely weak but unique energy fluctuation; or perhaps it was because the “Xin” next to him was so frightened and shocked that his breath became uncontrollably disordered.
The figure who had been silent all this time – Danzo, suddenly raised his head!
His single eye hidden in the shadows seemed to narrow slightly, and then, under his bandaged right arm, an icy and powerful wave of pupil power suddenly erupted, like a precise scanning radar, instantly penetrating the interference of the [False Path] and accurately locking onto the location of the vent!
“Sharingan!” Lin Feng’s heart was filled with alarm, and [Black Feather Sensing] clearly captured the dangerous eye power!
Exposed!
“Hmph! Sure enough, a rat got in.” Danzo’s voice was icy cold, without any surprise.
Before he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot like a ghost, and the next moment he appeared directly outside the air vent!
He reached forward with one hand and suddenly formed a seal!
“Wind Style: Vacuum Absorption Jade!” Whoosh! !
A terrifying suction force so violent and suffocating that instantly enveloped the entire ventilation duct!
Lin Feng’s face changed drastically, and he immediately activated the energy of the [Wind Core] in his body, trying to resist with wind escape, and kicked the wall of the pipe with his feet!
However, Danzo’s wind escape skills were far beyond imagination. The suction force was like a real chain that instantly shattered his resistance. He and the “Shin” next to him were violently pulled out of the narrow pipe like fallen leaves in the wind, and fell heavily on the cold laboratory floor!
Feeling a sweetness in his throat, Lin Feng suppressed the surging blood and energy.
Woo-woo-woo-woo!!!
A shrill alarm suddenly rang throughout the laboratory!
Yakushi Kabuto still had that signature fake smile on his face, but the eyes behind the lenses were as sharp as a scalpel. He and several other Root Elites with a cold aura moved their feet almost at the same time, like hunters who had been trained countless times, instantly blocking all retreat routes and surrounding Lin Feng and “Xin” who had stood up in a panic in the center.
“Shin”‘s face was as pale as paper, and his body was shaking uncontrollably because of the great fear. He looked at Danzo’s cold eyes and his Root colleagues who were emitting murderous aura around him. His eyes were full of despair, but his hand that was tightly holding the secret medicine did not loosen.
Lin Feng slowly stood up, brushed off the dust on his body, and swept his cold eyes over the enemies in front of him – Danzo, Kabuto Yakushi, several Root elites, and the artificial heart that exuded a terrifying aura.
He knew that explanations and luck were no longer of any use.
Next, there was only a fight to the death! A fierce battle where one would die!
Chapter 34: New Tactics in Desperate Situations (Old Version)
“The traitor finally showed up.”
Danzo’s voice was as cold as polar ice, without any ripples, as if he was just stating a fact that had already been known.
His single eye indifferently swept over the embarrassed Lin Feng and the trembling “Xin”, and finally fixed on Lin Feng: “Lin Feng, you really did not let me down.”
The sarcasm and murderous intent in that tone were so thick that water seemed to drip out.
“Hehehe…”
Next to him, Pharmacist Dou pushed up his round-frame glasses on his nose, the lenses reflecting the eerie light of the laboratory. His smile was gentle, but his words were as cold as the tongue of a snake.
“I never thought that such an interesting little mouse like you could be raised in this small pond in Konoha Village.”
The chakra fluctuations emanating from his body were obscure and powerful, like a bottomless quagmire, causing Lin Feng’s hair to stand on end instantly, and he was alarmed! This guy was definitely a super dangerous person!
No more nonsense, killing breaks out in the next second!
Danzo moved!
He didn’t even form any hand seals, he just took a step forward, and the violent wind chakra surged out like a real raging wave!
“Wind Style: Vacuum Great Ball!”
The air was rapidly compressed, forming a transparent shell visible to the naked eye, which, with a scream that could tear everything apart, hit Lin Feng’s face directly!
The speed was extremely fast! Its power was far beyond any wind escape that Lin Feng knew of!
What was even more terrifying was that Danzo’s right arm, which was hidden under the bandage, locked onto Lin Feng with a cold eye force, as if every thought of his evasion had been seen through in advance! Sharingan!
“careful!”
“Xin” roared, and the special yang-attribute chakra in his body suddenly burst out, like a weak sun, barely resisting the cold atmosphere everywhere in the laboratory.
He did not choose to attack Danzo, but instead pounced on the two Root Elites closest to him!
“Secret Technique: Sun Flame Impact!”
The scorching chakra hit the opponent like a wave, and the movements of the two Root Elites were obviously slowed down. It was obvious that the Yang attribute chakra of “Shin” had a natural inhibitory effect on these Root members who had been immersed in darkness for many years.
But they are elites after all, and the strength gap between them and “Xin” is obvious. They can only barely contain them, and there are dangers everywhere!
Lin Feng is under even greater pressure!
The Chakra under his feet exploded, and he narrowly avoided the frontal attack of the Vacuum Jade, but the terrifying wind pressure that passed by still made his cheek hurt.
Before he could catch his breath, Pharmacist Kabuto approached like a ghost!
His movements were smooth and strange. His arms were bent at an incredible angle, and several chakra scalpels flashing with cold light popped out from his fingertips and pierced directly into Lin Feng’s vital points!
At the same time, several other root elites also launched attacks in a tacitly coordinated manner, blocking all of Lin Feng’s escape space!
Yakushi Kabuto still had that disgusting smile on his face, as if what he was seeing was not a life-and-death fight, but an interesting surgical operation.
He used his medical ninjutsu as a killing technique, which was tricky and cruel. Combined with his obviously modified body, he was simply ruthless!
Lin Feng shouted, and a blue-black wind blade whizzed out and slashed towards Yakushi Kabuto’s arm.
However, Kabuto Yakushi simply turned sideways and allowed the wind blade to scratch his arm, leaving a string of blood beads.
But in the next second, the wound began to wriggle and heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it was as good as new!
“it’s useless.”
Yakushi Kabuto chuckled, “My body is not so easily destroyed.”
Damn! This guy’s self-healing ability is too abnormal!
Lin Feng cursed in his heart, although [Wind Style: Black Feather Cut] is sharp, it has little effect on this kind of indestructible cockroach!
We must use stronger force! A more penetrating attack!
Pressure! Unprecedented pressure!
Danzo’s wind style is like a natural disaster, Kabuto Yakushi’s attacks are weird and hard to defend, and the coordination of the Root elites is seamless!
The shadow of death looms over us like a reality!
At this critical moment, the restless wind core in Lin Feng’s body and the black feather fragment on his shoulder blade seemed to be stimulated by the huge external pressure and suddenly accelerated the fusion!
An indescribable pain accompanied by a surge of power swept through my body!
[Ding! The host is detected to be under extreme pressure, and the fusion of wind core energy and black feather energy is accelerating! Current fusion degree: 25%! ][Congratulations to the host! You have mastered a new skill: Wind Style: Spiral Wind Cut! ][Wind Style: Spiral Wind Cut: Combining the high-speed rotation characteristics of the Wind Core with the extreme sharpness of the Black Feather Cut, it condenses into a spiral wind blade with terrifying penetrating power! ]Lin Feng’s eyes flashed with fierceness, and he endured the pain of his meridians being torn apart, and quickly formed seals with his hands!
The wind attribute chakra in the body and the black feather energy combine, compress and rotate in an unprecedented way!
“Wind Style: Spiral Wind Cut!”
A slender, almost tangible, blue-black spiral wind blade, with a piercing scream, instantly shot out from Lin Feng’s fingertips!
The speed is so fast that it exceeds the limits of visual capture!
A Root Elite standing in front didn’t even have time to react, and his proud defensive ninjutsu was instantly pierced through like paper!
The spiral wind cut’s momentum continued as it flew past Kabuto Yakushi’s arm that was blocking it!
This time, the wound on Yakushi Kabuto’s arm was no longer a simple scratch, but a charred, spiral wound that continuously emitted an ominous black aura!
The remaining black feather energy was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, madly destroying his cell tissue and greatly inhibiting his rapid regeneration!
Pharmacist Kabuto groaned, and a piercing pain and numbness came from his arm. The smile on his face disappeared completely, replaced by an expression mixed with pain and surprise!
He could clearly feel the cold and sharp energy at the wound frantically preventing cell regeneration!
“What kind of power is this?!” The eyes behind the lenses finally revealed an expression of disbelief and surprise!
Danzo, who had been suppressing Lin Feng on the side, also suddenly glanced sideways, and undisguised greed burst out from his one eye!
Such power! Such a change of nature!
Lin Feng keenly captured the enemy’s momentary distraction!
Without hesitation, he concentrated his chakra once more, his target being the beating, evil “artificial heart” in the center of the laboratory!
We must destroy it! We must not let Danzo’s plan succeed!
Another blue-black death ray, carrying Lin Feng’s desperate determination, tore through the air and headed straight for the huge piece of meat!
“How dare you, you brat!”
Danzo was furious, and wind energy surged around him, ready to intercept!
“Your opponent is me!”
“Shin” was like a madman, burning his own Yang escape chakra. He knew he was far from being his opponent, and he only wanted to buy Lin Feng a ten-thousandth of a second! Danzo instinctively dodged sideways, with a flash of disdain in his eyes, but he also missed the best opportunity to intercept. !
Yakushi Kabuto’s face also changed drastically. He quickly formed seals with his hands, and a pale bone shield instantly blocked the path of the spiral wind!
However, the speed and penetrating power of [Spiral Wind Cut] far exceeded their expectations!
The bone shield shattered like fragile glass!
The blue-black spiral wind blade pierced into the beating artificial heart accurately and fiercely!
Puff! Puff! Puff!
My heart suddenly twitched violently, like a live fish thrown into boiling oil!
The countless thick pipes connected to it could not withstand the runaway energy inside and exploded like dominoes!
Strange liquids of various colors splattered everywhere!
The entire laboratory began to shake violently, the walls cracked, and large pieces of rubble fell from the ceiling!
The shrill alarm sounded even more frantic, and the energy readings on the instrument soared wildly, breaking through the critical point in an instant!
A devastating energy storm is brewing at the core! It’s about to explode!
“Damn it!”
Danzo’s face turned livid, his eyes filled with resentment and rage.
He knew that the core of the “Owl Plan” was completely ruined! If he didn’t leave, the entire Root Base would be blown up by this out-of-control energy!
“retreat!”
He acted decisively and gave the order coldly, while glaring at Lin Feng viciously. His eyes seemed to say: You can’t run away, I will catch you and squeeze everything out of you!
Lin Feng pulled up the “Xin” that was shaking due to exhaustion and injury.
At the same time, his left hand quickly drew in the air, and the [Instant Shadow Rubbing Technique] was activated!
He forcibly copied and recorded the chaotic laboratory scene in front of him, especially the collapsing artificial heart, the scattered instrument wreckage with the Black Feather Organization’s mark, and some key data on the operating table!
These are the ironclad evidence that Danzo colluded with Kuroba and conducted anti-human experiments!
Lin Feng exploded with all the remaining strength in his body, and a violent black storm swept through the laboratory, temporarily blocking the sight and footsteps of Danzo and Kabuto Yakushi in pursuit.
At the same time, he activated the last remaining effect of the [Chakra Concealment Cloak] and suppressed his own and “Xin” aura to the lowest level!
He let out a low roar, pulled the “letter”, and rushed towards the entrance of the ventilation duct from where he came, like an arrow from a bow, and dived in!
Boom boom boom——!!!
Behind him, the laboratory finally couldn’t bear the complete loss of control of energy and exploded!
The deafening explosion, the terrifying energy shock wave, and Danzo’s roar filled with endless anger and murderous intent, through the thick rock layers, still clearly reached the ears of Lin Feng who was fleeing for his life.
But Lin Feng did not look back. He had only one thought in mind: escape! Take the evidence away!
Chapter 35: Ironclad Evidence Shocks the Top Management (Old Version)
The explosion behind him sounded like a dragon turning over. The entire passage was shaking violently, with gravel and dust falling down.
Lin Feng supported the almost unconscious “Xin”. Every breath he took caused severe pain in his lungs, as if they were burned by flames. The collision between the wind core and the black feather energy in his body brought him a tearing sensation that almost made him faint.
He clenched his teeth, squeezed out the little chakra he had left, and every step was as heavy as sinking into mud.
The initial fusion of the Wind Core and Black Feather energy was still colliding in the body, bringing tearing pain, but more of a rush of violent power.
He didn’t dare to stop, or even look back at the sea of ​​fire and turbulent energy that was devouring everything.
Danzo’s roar seemed to still echo in his ears, filled with hatred that wanted to grind him to ashes.
“Hold on! We’re almost there!” Lin Feng roared, pouring chakra into the soles of his feet like crazy, and his speed soared to the limit.
A faint light finally appeared at the end of the ventilation duct.
He used up his last bit of strength to break open the iron fence at the exit, and rolled down onto the cold ground with the “letter” in a panic.
“Cough cough cough…” Lin Feng coughed violently, almost coughing out his lungs, and his mouth was full of the taste of rust.
“Xin” had completely lost consciousness, his face was as pale as paper, and his chest was barely moving. If Lin Feng had not been able to sense the extremely weak fluctuation of Yang escape chakra in his body, he would have thought that he had…
A familiar voice sounded.
In the smoke and dust, several figures approached quickly.
It was Asuma! He was waiting anxiously at the designated rendezvous point with several masked ANBU.
Seeing the miserable state of Lin Feng and “Xin”, especially after feeling the aftermath of the explosion, Asuma’s face instantly became extremely ugly.
“What’s going on? Inside…”
“Danzo… Owl Plan… Kabuto Yakushi…” Lin Feng panted heavily, and with difficulty took out the scroll recorded with [Instant Shadow Rubbing Technique] from his arms and stuffed it into Asuma’s hand, “The evidence… is all in there… Hurry… save Shin!”
Asuma asked no more questions and immediately took the scroll and unfolded it.
When he saw the beating deformed heart copied on the scroll, the huge black feathers floating around it, and the clear face of Kabuto Yakushi, even though Asuma was knowledgeable, he couldn’t help but gasp, and his eyes instantly became as sharp as a knife!
“Damn it! This lunatic Danzo!” He cursed and immediately ordered the Anbu next to him: “Take Shin to the medical department immediately! Use the highest authority! Notify the head of the medical department and save his life at all costs!”
“Yes!” The two Anbu immediately raised the “letter” and disappeared into the night.
Asuma put away the scroll and looked at Lin Feng with a complicated look: “How are you? Can you still walk?”
Lin Feng tried to stand up, but stumbled. Asuma quickly supported him.
Lin Feng took a deep breath, wiped the blood foam from the corners of his mouth and the dust on his face, but his eyes were extremely firm: “I won’t die… ahem… I must… give this to the Third Generation immediately!”
“Follow me!” Asuma no longer hesitated, and took Lin Feng and the remaining Anbu, turned into a few afterimages, and headed straight for the Hokage Building.
The Hokage’s office was brightly lit.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sat behind his desk, smoking his pipe silently. In the smoke, his old face looked extremely tired.
Two advisors, Utane Koharu and Mitokado En, were also present, looking serious.
When Asma rushed in with Lin Feng, who was in a dishevel and covered in blood, and presented the scroll that recorded the shocking conspiracy, the air in the office seemed to freeze.
The Third Hokage put down his pipe, took the scroll, and slowly unfolded it.
His eyes swept across those shocking images, from the deformed artificial heart to the figure of Kabuto Yakushi, and then to the wreckage of instruments bearing the mark of the Black Feather Organization… His hands began to tremble slightly.
After a long time, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, there was only endless pain and an unquestionable determination in his eyes.
“Danzo…” He almost squeezed out the name from between his teeth.
Utane Koharu and Mitokado En also finished reading the contents of the scroll. The two usually tough advisors now had shock and disbelief written all over their faces.
“This… this is simply…” Mizuto Menyan was so angry that he was shaking all over.
“Huruzen, this must happen immediately…” Utane Koharu said sternly.
“I understand.” Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted her, his voice low but with iron will, “Pass my order! The Anbu immediately surround the Root base! Gather all the jonin and heads of departments to hold an emergency high-level meeting! Now! Immediately!”
“Yes!” An Anbu disappeared instantly.
Asuma looked at the Third Hokage and said in a deep voice: “Hokage-sama, our people have just returned from the Root. The entrance to the base has been completely sealed from the inside. There are fierce battles and explosions coming from inside… I’m afraid Danzo is…”
“Fighting stubbornly and destroying the evidence?” Sarutobi Hiruzen’s eyes became colder, “He can’t escape.”
An emergency meeting was held in the conference room on the top floor of the Hokage Building.
The atmosphere was so oppressive that it was suffocating.
Almost all of Konoha’s top leaders were present, and everyone’s face was filled with solemnity and surprise.
When the Third Hokage announced to the public the “Owl Project” in which Danzo colluded with external forces to conduct forbidden human experiments in an attempt to create artificial tailed beasts, and displayed the evidence brought back by Lin Feng, the entire conference room exploded in an instant!
“Impossible! How could Lord Danzo do such a thing!?”
“Could this be a conspiracy by the enemy? Can we trust what this genin says?”
Some people who were obviously involved with the Root or were from Danzo’s faction immediately jumped out to question and try to defend Danzo.
“The evidence is conclusive! Do you still want to cover up for him?” Asma slammed the table angrily.
“Silence!” Sarutobi Hiruzen’s majestic voice suppressed all the noise.
He looked at Lin Feng who was standing in the middle of the conference room, his eyes deep: “Lin Feng, tell me in detail everything you experienced when you infiltrated the Root.”
Lin Feng took a deep breath and recounted clearly how he was recruited by Danzo, how he discovered the abnormality in the Root, how he came into contact with “Shin”, how he sneaked into the laboratory and witnessed the core of the “Owl Project”, and finally how he fought with Danzo and Kabuto Yakushi and destroyed the plan and brought out evidence (naturally omitting the system-related parts).
His voice was not loud, but it echoed clearly in everyone’s ears.
The details he described, the dangers he encountered, and the strength and courage he displayed in the end made all the senior officials present re-examine this Genin who was unknown not long ago.
Many people showed surprise in their eyes.
Kakashi stood at the back of the crowd, looking at his disciple who was always unexpected. Under the silver hair, the one eye that was exposed showed mixed emotions, including deep worry, but also an indescribable relief and pride.
This kid has really grown to a level beyond imagination.
At this moment, a system prompt sounded in Lin Feng’s mind:
[Ding! Main quest: Dive into the roots, completed! ][Task evaluation: S-level! ][1. The progress of Black Feather Energy purification has been increased to 50%! It has been initially and stably integrated with the core energy of Wind! ][2. Obtain exclusive fusion skill: Wind Feather Wings (Primary)! You can condense chakra to form energy wings in a short period of time, greatly improving movement speed and air-staying ability! ]【3.Lottery points +5! 】
A warm current instantly spread out from the place where the wind core and the black feather fragments merged, flowing throughout the body.
Lin Feng clearly felt that the violent black feather energy in his body was like a tamed wild horse. Although still unruly, it no longer rushed recklessly, but reached a wonderful balance with the power of the wind core.
The constant burning pain in my shoulder blades was also greatly alleviated, as if a heavy shackle had been lifted.
Comfortable!
An unprecedented sense of relaxation!
Inside the meeting room, the debate continued.
The Third Hokage ignored the opposition and was resolute in his attitude. It was obvious that he had made up his mind to completely eradicate this cancer, Danzo.
Just as the Konoha high-level officials were discussing fiercely how to break through the Root base, capture Danzo, and deal with the remaining Root forces –
“Report!”
A member of the Anbu appeared at the door of the conference room in an instant with a hurried sound of wind, knelt on one knee, and spoke in a hoarse and urgent voice:
“Hokage-sama! Urgent military information! A large number of unidentified ninjas have been spotted gathering in the southeastern part of Konoha Village! The number… is at least over 500! The flag they are flying is…”
The ANBU member swallowed, with fear in his eyes:
“Black feathers!”
What?!
The entire conference room fell into silence in an instant!
Everyone’s eyes were focused on that Anbu!
Black feathers?!
Black Feather Organization!!!
How could they… at this time?!
Konoha is in turmoil because of Danzo’s affairs, and the defense force is being affected. It can be said that this is the most vulnerable moment!
The Black Feather Organization chose this time to launch a general attack? !
Is their target just Konoha? Or is it related to Danzo’s failure and the out-of-control “Owl Plan”? !
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through everyone’s minds, and cold sweat broke out on their backs.
The Third Hokage’s expression suddenly turned extremely ugly. He stood up abruptly, and his old body burst out with astonishing momentum:
“Pass my order! The whole village will immediately enter the highest level of alert! All ninjas, regardless of rank, will immediately assemble at the designated location! Prepare to fight!!!”
“yes!!!”
The order was passed down like a torrent, and the entire Konoha Village instantly turned from the tense confrontation inside to the state of war outside! The sharp alarm sounded through the sky!
The real storm is coming!
Lin Feng walked to the window and looked towards the outside of the village.
His [Black Feather Sensing] became unprecedentedly sharp after purifying part of the black feather energy and integrating the wind core.
He could clearly “see” that at the edge of the dark forest outside the village, huge, sticky, black feather energies filled with tyranny and greed were gathering, rolling, and spreading like dark clouds!
Overwhelming!
The number and intensity far exceeded anything encountered before!
This is definitely the main force of the Black Feather Organization!
“Get ready to fight, Lin Feng.” Kakashi came to his side without knowing when, patted his shoulder, and said in a low voice with unquestionable determination, “This time, it’s a battle to protect our homeland.”
At this moment, several familiar auras approached rapidly.
“Lin Feng!” Naruto’s voice came from afar, anxiously, “Are you okay?! I heard that your roots exploded?!” He rushed to the front, with a rare serious look on his face.
Following closely behind was Sasuke. He didn’t say anything, but his cold eyes swept over the scars on Lin Feng’s body. The three-magatama Sharingan was already activated, and murderous intent was looming.
Xiaoying also arrived. Seeing Lin Feng’s miserable appearance, she shouted worriedly, “Lin Feng-jun! Your injury…” She clenched her fists and her eyes became extremely determined.
“We are here,” Kakashi said in a deep voice, looking at the assembled Team 7, “Next, it’s the battle to protect Konoha.
They looked at Lin Feng, no need for words, they were determined to fight.
An unprecedented huge crisis enveloped the entire Konoha.
The fate of the village truly hangs by a thread at this moment.
Chapter 36: Strong Enemy Locks On! Feng Yu Shows His Power for the First Time (Old Version)
The piercing and sharp alarm tore through the early morning tranquility of Konoha Village, like countless steel needles piercing everyone’s eardrums!
The sky was dyed a desperate black.
The dense black shadows covered the sky and the sun, and it was impossible to count their exact number. All we knew was that the number was definitely more than five hundred!
They were like a rolling dark cloud emitting an ominous aura, pressing heavily towards the defensive barrier outside the village that was constantly flashing with the luster of runes.
Every collision of energies caused the barrier to emit a buzzing sound that was unable to bear the heavy burden.
The air was filled with a suffocating feeling as if a storm was about to come.
Inside the command tower, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen stood in front of a huge map. The pipe in his mouth had long been extinguished, and his old face was filled with unprecedented solemnity.
The smoke no longer lingered, leaving only cold determination.
“Order! Units A, B, and C, reinforce the east gate immediately! Units D, E, and F, defend the south! All medical staff on standby!”
“All ninjas on leave, cancel their leave! All non-staff personnel, mobilize urgently!”
“Repeat! Activate the highest level of defense! Defend Konoha to the death!”
Instructions were delivered quickly and clearly, with unquestionable authority.
Countless ninjas wearing vests of various colors rushed out from every corner of the village like arrows and ran towards the designated defense line.
A solemn and murderous atmosphere permeated the entire village.
“Team Seven!”
Kakashi’s low voice rang in the ears of Lin Feng, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura. In his exposed eye, the usual laziness disappeared without a trace, leaving only the sharpness and solemnity of an elite jonin.
“Mission! Defend area number three on the west side! It is one of the main passages for civilians to evacuate. We must ensure its safety!”
He paused, his tone more serious.
“When encountering an enemy, you are allowed to counterattack to the maximum extent possible!”
“Ohhh! Leave it to me! Watch me beat them all away!”
Naruto’s blood instantly boiled over, his golden hair seemed to be on fire, and he roared at the top of his voice, and was the first to rush out like a cannonball, as if he wanted to use this momentum to dispel the pervasive despair.
Sasuke didn’t say anything, but just snorted coldly. The scarlet three-magatama Sharingan suddenly appeared. Deep in his eyes was a cold murderous intent and a hint of barely perceptible excitement. His figure followed Naruto like a ghost.
Sakura took a deep breath, her pink hair fluttering in the wind. She clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles turned white, but her eyes were extremely determined.
“I won’t hold you back!”
Lin Feng did not follow immediately. He closed his eyes and activated [Black Feather Sensing] with all his strength.
In an instant, countless chaotic and violent chakra fluctuations flooded into his perception like a tide.
Among the huge enemy forces, he clearly “saw” several particularly powerful auras, like lighthouses in the dark night, evil and eye-catching.
One of them, carrying with it an extreme chill and ominous feeling, seemed to have come from the depths of the Netherworld, causing a sharp pain in the black feather fragment under his right shoulder blade that had been fused with the core of wind!
He is a master! Moreover, he is a powerful enemy whose energy is highly compatible with Hei Yu!
The four members of Team 7 were like four sharp arrows, shuttling through the chaotic streets and rooftops, and soon arrived at the designated area No. 3 on the west side.
The sight before them made their pupils shrink slightly.
This place has already turned into a fierce battlefield!
The sounds of explosions, metal collisions, and screams were endless!
Dozens of Konoha ninjas are fighting with members of the Black Feather Organization who are several times their number, but the situation is clearly unfavorable.
Not only did those Black Feather members attack fearlessly, like controlled puppets, the ninjutsu they used was even more bizarre and unpredictable!
The black feathers flew, entangled, and exploded like living things, making it impossible for the Konoha ninjas who were accustomed to conventional ninjutsu to defend themselves. Their front line was constantly compressed and they were defeated!
“Konoha bastards! Die!”
A black-feathered ninja who looked like a small leader grinned and made a strange seal with his hands.
[Black Feather Secret Technique·Feather Binding Array]!
Countless pitch-black feathers suddenly sprang out from the ground, like vines with life, and in the blink of an eye, they tied up the three Konoha Chunins who were unable to dodge and made them unable to move!
The black feathers dug into his flesh, emitting a chilling aura that corroded chakra.
The team leader raised the kunai wrapped in black feather energy, pointed it at the heart of one of the Chunins, and was about to kill him!
“Asshole! Stop it!”
Naruto’s eyes were bloodshot and his roar echoed throughout the battlefield!
Bang bang bang bang!
White smoke exploded, and dozens of identical Narutos screamed and rushed towards Captain Kuroba and his men like an orange wave, regardless of anything!
“snort!”
Sasuke was not blinded by anger. He calmly observed the battlefield, identified the area where enemies were densely packed on the other side, and quickly formed seals with his hands.
call–!
A huge fireball roared out with a scorching air wave and hit the group of Black Feather Ninjas accurately. The shock wave and high temperature of the explosion temporarily forced back the enemies in that area, buying a little breathing space for their side.
“Medical Ninjutsu!”
Sakura did not hesitate at all. When she saw a Konoha ninja who was scratched by Kuroko Feather and had a black wound falling down not far away, she immediately rushed over, squatted down, covered the wound with both hands, and a bright green chakra halo lit up.
Her movements were quick and steady, and her expression was focused. She had grown tremendously compared to the little girl who needed to be protected during the mission in Wave Country.
Lin Feng’s eyes were fixed on Captain Black Feather who released the [Feather Binding Array].
It was him! That uncomfortable chakra fluctuation!
The [Wind Core] and black feather energy in the body seemed to sense the breath of their own kind, trembling slightly and emitting a buzzing sound of desire for battle.
The newfound strength surged through his limbs and bones, bringing a sense of control that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
“It’s you!”
Lin Feng shouted, no longer hesitated, and prepared to take action!
He tried to mobilize the fused, blue-black chakra, and his hands completed the seals at a speed far beyond any previous speed!
[Wind Style: Vacuum Ball]!
call out!
A highly compressed air bullet flew out of his hand, but this time, the color of the vacuum jade was no longer purely transparent, but had a faint blue-black glow, and its volume seemed to have expanded!
Faster! More powerful!
The Vacuum Jade accurately hit the entangled black feathers of [Feather Binding Array]!
Like a sharp blade cutting through rotten wood, the tough black feathers broke and shattered!
The power is many times stronger than when simply using wind escape before!
The pressure on the three trapped Konoha Chunins suddenly eased, and they quickly broke free from their restraints, looking at Lin Feng in shock.
Captain Kuroba was about to make the finishing move but was interrupted by the sudden attack. He turned his head in astonishment and looked at the young Genin who had just attacked.
When he felt the chakra fluctuations from Lin Feng, which were as sharp as the wind and had the same origin as the black feather but were more pure and domineering, a hint of doubt flashed across his eyes, and then turned into unconcealable ecstasy and greed!
“Hahahaha! So it’s here! I searched everywhere for it but couldn’t find it, now it’s here without any effort!”
He stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, his eyes like a venomous snake locking onto its prey.
“Found you, ‘Container’!”
The word “container” is like a command!
In an instant, at least five or six Black Feather members who were originally besieging other Konoha ninjas gave up their opponents without hesitation, suddenly changed direction, and turned into several black afterimages, rushing towards Lin Feng at high speed from different angles with extremely sharp murderous aura!
Their target is very clear – it is Lin Feng!
Being stared at by so many murderous gazes, Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat.
He instantly realized that he had gone from being an ordinary supporter to being the main target of the enemy’s concentrated fire!
It’s troublesome! But also… more challenging!
He took a deep breath and stopped suppressing the power in his body that he was just beginning to become familiar with.
The blue-black chakra flows violently through the meridians like a surging river!
Come on! Let me see what I can do after fusing the Wind Core and Black Feather Energy!
The first real tough battle has begun!
Chapter 37: Blue-Black Wings to Shock the Enemy (Old Version)
Faced with the encirclement of several Black Feather Ninjas, Lin Feng’s eyes were clear and he was not panicked at all.
Lin Feng subconsciously activated the wind-attribute chakra, and his perception of the surrounding environment instantly increased to the extreme. The subtle flow of air, the tension of the enemy’s muscles, and the trajectory of the chakra’s condensation were all clearly reflected in his mind, as if everything was slowed down.
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Deadly black feathers shot through the air at a tricky angle, blocking all his escape routes.
Lin Feng’s body tilted slightly like willow catkins, allowing those cold feathers to pass by him by a hair’s breadth, and the strong wind blew his hair.
Almost at the same time, he formed seals with his hands like lightning!
A solid transparent wind wall instantly formed in front of him, just blocking the second wave of gunfire that followed.
Crack!
The black feather hit the wind wall, making a dull explosion sound, but could not move forward an inch.
A member of the Black Feathers member seized the brief gap when Lin Feng was casting his spell, and leapt up suddenly, pouncing forward like a cheetah. The kunai in his hand, which was tempered with dark green venom, pierced Lin Feng’s throat directly, and the speed was so fast that only a trail of afterimage was left behind!
In a flash!
Deep in Lin Feng’s pupils, a deep blue-black color suddenly lit up!
The [Core of Wind] that had initially merged with the black feather fragments in the body began to beat wildly, and an overwhelming force rushed out along the meridians and rushed straight to the back!
The air seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force!
A pair of illusory wings with a metallic texture, made of highly condensed blue-black chakra, suddenly spread out behind Lin Feng!
[Wind Feather Wings]——First appearance!
The moment the wings appeared, an invisible pressure spread out, making the surrounding air a little thicker.
The Black Feather member who was charging forward couldn’t help but pause!
[Wings of Wind Feather] Gently flap!
A shallow pit instantly appeared on the ground under Lin Feng’s feet, and his figure disappeared on the spot, leaving only a faint blue-black afterimage!
The speed increased dramatically!
The Kuroba member’s kunai missed the target, only catching a few strands of hair.
His eyes widened in horror, and before he could react, a fierce gust of wind blew from behind him!
Lin Feng appeared behind him like a ghost, with his right hand pointing like a knife. A high-speed rotating blue-black wind blade condensed on his fingertips, making a sharp sound of cutting through the air, and he slashed at the back of the enemy’s neck without hesitation!
【Wind Blade Hand Knife】!
Without any fancy moves, he chopped the back of the Black Feather member’s neck with incredible precision!
The enemy didn’t even have time to scream. He rolled his eyes, collapsed to the ground, and fainted completely.
“?!”
“What is that?!”
The other Black Feather members who were besieging Lin Feng instantly became furious. Looking at the pair of illusory wings behind Lin Feng that exuded an ominous and sharp aura, their hearts began to beat wildly uncontrollably.
The pressure emanating from the wings made those people who had been immersed in the black feather energy for many years instinctively feel a fear and throbbing from the depths of their souls!
“This guy…”
Not far away, Kakashi had just used Raikiri to deal with a tough enemy. When he raised his eyes, he saw the [Wind Wings] unfolded behind Lin Feng. His Sharingan suddenly shrank.
The sharp wind attribute contained in the blue-black chakra and… the evil black feather energy belonging to the “Owl Project” have actually been initially integrated? !
In addition to being shocked, Kakashi’s brows were filled with deep worry. Is this fusion a blessing or a curse? Can Lin Feng control this power without being eroded?
This power… is too unstable!
“Wow! Lin Feng! What’s that behind you? What powerful wings! You have to teach me after you fight!” While commanding his shadow clones to attack, Naruto took a break from his busy schedule to shout at Lin Feng, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
On Sasuke’s side, the lightning of Chidori just went out. He glanced at Lin Feng coldly and frowned even more tightly.
It’s this kind of… rapid growth again!
Damn it!
He clenched his fists, his scarlet Sharingan spun rapidly, his inner anxiety and the excitement of being surpassed almost overflowing.
“Interesting… Really interesting!” Captain Heiyu’s eyes became completely solemn. He grinned fiercely, revealing a mouthful of sharp white teeth. He formed seals with his hands rapidly, and a low roar like the cry of a crow came out of his mouth!
[Black Feather Secret Art: Dark Crow Assault]!
call!
His body exploded instantly, transforming into seven or eight twisted black streams of light, like dark crows with life, attacking Lin Feng in mid-air from all directions at the same time with completely unpredictable trajectories!
Every stream of light contains a terrifying force that is enough to penetrate steel!
“Well done!”
Lin Feng was not surprised but happy. He flapped his [Wind Feather Wings] again, causing his body to draw an incredible trajectory in the air, like a flying swallow in a strong wind, deftly avoiding most of the direct impact of the black light.
At the same time, he formed seals with his hands at an extremely fast speed!
“Break it for me!”
Lin Feng shouted, and the fused chakra burst out without reservation!
This was the first time he tried to combine the black feather energy to perform a cutting wind escape technique after initially fusing the two. The power was far greater than before, but the control was still a bit awkward!
With him as the center, dozens of blue-black fine wind blades, as thin as cicada wings but wrapped with strands of black feather energy, shot out in all directions like exploding blade wheels, heading towards the oncoming black streams of light!
Chichi, chichi, chichi——!
The wind blades and flowing lights collided, cut, and annihilated violently in mid-air!
The harsh sound of metal friction resounded through the sky!
The blue-black wind energy and the pure black feather energy corroded each other, causing a violent energy shock wave!
The shock wave swept through like a hurricane, forcing the ninjas from both sides fighting nearby to retreat again and again, unable to stand steadily!
Captain Hei Yu was forced to reveal his figure from the flowing light state and staggered back a few steps. He covered his right arm, where a wound deep enough to see the bone was oozing black blood, and there were still traces of the cut by the green wind blade on the edge of the wound!
He raised his head and stared at Lin Feng, who was floating in the air with his wings slowly flapping, his eyes filled with unbelievable shock and rage!
“You, the ‘vessel’… can actually actively guide and use the power of the black feather?! How is this possible! Apart from the transformation ritual chosen by that lord, no one has ever been able to…”
Lin Feng did not answer.
He felt the surging power in his body, the extraordinary mobility brought by [Wind Feather Wings], and the fusion ninjutsu that doubled its power.
Although the consumption was not small, he managed to withstand the concentrated fire of the Black Feather Squad and the captain’s personal attack with his own strength!
The position has been initially stabilized!
Lin Feng’s amazing performance was like a shot of adrenaline, injected into the hearts of all the struggling Konoha ninjas nearby!
“Good job!”
“Kill them!”
For a moment, the morale of Konoha was actually boosted!
Chapter 38 Black Feather Elite Hunting Team 7 (Old Version)
The fighting in the Class 7 area had just subsided for a moment, and everyone was still adjusting their breathing, trying to dispel the smell of gunpowder in their noses.
A chakra fluctuation that was several times more terrifying than Captain Kuroba’s previous one crushed down without any warning. It was so heavy that it seemed as if the air itself had real weight, and it instantly froze all sounds and movements.
The wind stopped.
The [Wind Feather Wings] behind Lin Feng, which had not yet completely dissipated, trembled violently, as if grasped by an invisible giant hand. The tingling sensation brought by the [Black Feather Sensing] instantly exploded along the nerves, sharper than any alarm!
He looked up suddenly, his pupils shrinking rapidly with fear.
A black shadow brutally tore through the dense smoke and dust, and with suffocating power, it fell straight down from the sky, like a meteorite hitting the earth!
The ground shook violently, and gravel and dust rose into the sky. In the center of the smoke and dust, a man wearing a black feather cloth and with eyes as sharp as a hawk slowly stood up. Just by standing, he exuded a sense of oppression that looked down on all living beings.
It’s him! The Black Feather Officer, “Falcon”!
Lin Feng’s heart sank suddenly as if it was soaked by ice water. This guy… felt more dangerous than the last time he encountered him in the forest. The cold breath almost penetrated into his bones!
What is even more frightening is that as Falcon stood still, four figures that also exuded a powerful and cold aura appeared silently behind him, as if they had emerged from the shadows.
The four of them were all wearing bird masks of different shapes – a pale owl, revealing a prying eeriness; a vulture with mottled feathers, exuding a decayed ferocity; a swift with smooth lines, as if it would turn into an afterimage at any time; and a stone vulture with clear edges and corners, feeling as heavy as a rock.
Their positions were tricky, vaguely forming some kind of hunting formation. The four pairs of eyes under the masks, like precision-guided weapons, were all locked on the people of Class 7. The undisguised murderous aura almost solidified into substance.
An elite hunting team that came specifically for them, or rather, specifically for him, Lin Feng!
“Oh no!”
Kakashi’s face had never been so solemn. Almost at the same time when “Falcon” landed, he used a body-flash technique to block in front of Lin Feng. The exposed Sharingan stared at the leading “Falcon” and spoke in a very low voice with unprecedented solemnity:
“Lin Feng, be careful! It’s the cadre from last time. His strength… is unfathomable!”
“Falcon” was too lazy to even glance at Kakashi. His cold eyes seemed to penetrate Kakashi’s shoulders and fall directly on Lin Feng. His gaze lingered for a moment on the pair of slightly trembling blue-black [Wind Feather Wings] behind him that had not yet completely dissipated.
Then, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up into an arc mixed with cruelty and satisfaction.
“Container… your growth rate really gave me a big surprise.” His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone, with a playful scrutiny, “It seems that this ‘sacrifice’ of the [Wind Core] has merged quite well with your ‘unpolished jade’. Hehehe… it saved us a lot of effort.”
That dry and harsh laughter was like sandpaper rubbing against the nerves, full of undisguised greed and malice, as if Lin Feng was not a person but an item to be sold.
Kakashi took half a step forward and completely protected Lin Feng behind him. The three magatama in his left Sharingan spun rapidly, the aura around him suddenly increased, and his chakra began to fluctuate violently.
“Oh……”
“Falcon” finally glanced at Kakashi miserably and snorted contemptuously from his nose, as if he was looking at a mantis that overestimated its own capabilities.
He didn’t even bother to respond personally, but simply said to the four masked elites behind him in an unquestionable commanding tone: “I want that ‘Container’ alive, don’t kill him. Everyone else… kill them all!”
The four elites responded in unison, their voices as cold as the collision of metal, without any human emotion.
The moment the order was given!
The battle broke out suddenly!
Kakashi and “Falcon” disappeared from their original places almost at the same time!
Boom! Clang!
The next second, the two collided violently in mid-air. The kunai in Kakashi’s hand collided with the special weapon of “Falcon” wrapped in black feather energy, causing dazzling sparks and violent air waves!
Kakashi just tried to use the Sharingan to capture and copy the opponent’s opening move of a physical technique, but unexpectedly, “Falcon” suddenly changed his moves in the middle. A strange chakra fluctuation instantly interfered with the Sharingan’s insight. At the same time, the angle of the counterattack was extremely tricky, forcing Kakashi to interrupt the copying and retreat, with a hint of surprise on his face.
The “Falcon”‘s attacks were wide and wide, each one was powerful and heavy, carrying with it a thick and sticky black feather energy. What frightened Kakashi even more was that the opponent’s strange weapon was like a living thing during the collision, greedily absorbing the remaining lightning chakra of his Raikiri and his own scattered lightning chakra, which not only weakened the power of his ninjutsu, but also made his own chakra flow feel a little sluggish!
Kakashi’s forehead was covered with sweat, and he was having a hard time coping. Even with his Sharingan’s enhanced insight fully activated, he could only barely keep up with the opponent’s violent offensive, and could not find any opportunity to counterattack.
At the same time, the four Black Feather Elites, like well-trained falcons, pounced on the remaining members of Class 7 from four directions with a clear division of labor!
“Owl Eye” wearing an owl mask moved the fastest. He quickly formed seals with his hands, and an invisible but chilling mental wave instantly enveloped Lin Feng like a tide!
[Black Feather Illusion·Nightmare Gaze]!
The moment the illusion was activated, his fingertips ejected several sharp-edged black feathers like playing a musical instrument. These feathers drew strange arcs in the air, with a sharp scream that broke through the air, blocking all of Lin Feng’s escape routes and shooting directly at the vital points of his body!
The long-range sniping and illusion interference were coordinated perfectly, and the target couldn’t be clearer – it was Lin Feng!
“Naruto!”
Sakura let out a short cry of surprise.
The “Swift” elite wearing a swift mask was so fast that only a series of blurry afterimages were left behind. Before the dozen or so shadow clones that Naruto had just created could form a decent formation, they were easily defeated by him like a butterfly flying through flowers, and white smoke exploded one after another.
Naruto was in even greater confusion, screaming and waving his fists, but he couldn’t even touch the corner of the opponent’s clothes. He was teased so badly that he stumbled and almost fell.
On the other side, Sasuke roared, and the three-magatama Sharingan in his eyes spun wildly. The dazzling electric light condensed into shape in his right hand, and a sharp bird cry was emitted!
“Chidori!”
He increased his speed to the extreme, transformed into a flash of lightning, and stabbed straight at the “Stone Vulture” elite who was wearing a stone vulture mask and exuding an aura as heavy as a mountain.
The Chidori, which was powerful enough to pierce through steel, stabbed fiercely into the crossed arms of the “Ishivus”, but it made a teeth-grinding friction sound, as if it had stabbed an indestructible rock!
The opponent’s body surface was covered with a strange layer of earthy yellow stratum corneum, which shone with a metallic luster, and it completely offset the force of Chidori’s thrust! The huge recoil force made Sasuke’s arm numb.
“Ishiju” had a hideous grin on his face under his mask, and while Sasuke’s old strength was exhausted and his new strength had not yet been generated, he threw a simple straight punch. The wind from the punch was whistling, and with a force of tremendous force, he forced Sasuke to push off the ground and step back, his eyes full of disbelief.
Sakura’s side is the most dangerous.
She had just treated the wound of a wounded Konoha soldier and before she had time to catch her breath, the “Poison Owl” elite wearing a poison owl mask came up to her like a ghost.
The opponent’s body was extremely slippery, moving around without any direction as if he had no bones, and his fingertips continuously shot out light purple poisonous mist, which had a small range but was extremely difficult to deal with.
From time to time, long and slender poison needles containing dark green venom would shoot out from the cuffs at tricky angles, forcing Sakura to protect the wounded behind her while dodging in a panic. Even performing medical ninjutsu stably became extremely difficult. Her fair cheeks had begun to turn an abnormal blue color due to inhaling a small amount of escaped poison gas.
Lin Feng’s situation is undoubtedly the worst among everyone!
The illusion of “Owl Eye” was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, constantly attacking his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness. The scenery in front of him was sometimes distorted and sometimes doubled, and his ears were filled with sharp hisses and chaotic whispers, which made his head split and his mind difficult to concentrate.
What’s even more fatal is that each of those tricky black-feather arrows was accurately aimed at the tiny flaws in his [Wind Feather Wings] when they flapped, or the point where he was exhausted when changing direction.
He had to devote most of his mind to maintaining the high-speed evasion of [Wind Feather Wings]. Every flap and every extreme dodge quickly consumed his already limited chakra and mental strength.
It just so happened that the “Stone Eagle” with amazing defense and the extremely fast “Swift”, while suppressing Sasuke and Naruto respectively, would occasionally seize the opportunity to launch long-range attacks or high-speed raids on him, forcing him to be in a hurry and unable to concentrate on breaking the illusion of “Owl Eye” or organizing an effective counterattack!
Lin Feng felt like a prey being stared at by several hungry wolves working in perfect harmony. No matter which direction he tried to break out, he would be attacked head-on. Caught between a rock and a hard place, surrounded by danger, cold sweat trickled down his forehead like a stream, soaking his bangs.
Just a face-to-face encounter!
Class 7 as a whole was completely suppressed by the Black Feather Elite Team, which had clear goals, tacit cooperation, and powerful strength. They were separated and fought on their own, and all of them fell into a disadvantage!
High in the sky, Kakashi was also entangled by the “Falcon” and could not protect himself. He looked down anxiously, but had no time to look at anything else!
The team… was once again in an unprecedented life-and-death crisis! This time, the enemy seemed to know them well and was fully prepared, while they seemed to have fallen into a carefully laid trap.
Chapter 39 Wind Wing Control Trajectory (Old Version)
The lingering illusion of “Owl Eye” was like a maggot on the heel, constantly attacking Lin Feng’s spiritual sea of ​​consciousness.
The scene before his eyes was wildly distorted, with overlapping images. The sharp hissing and chaotic whispers in his ears almost tore his head apart!
What’s even worse is that the old wound on his shoulder left by the fight with “Falcon” felt like being burned by a branding iron, and it was burning hot, causing the chakra and newly fused black feather energy in his body to not flow smoothly and become stagnant!
The double torture of mind and body inevitably made his movements slow down.
A tricky black-feathered arrow flew past his ribs, leaving a string of blood, and the severe pain made him groan.
“Lin Feng!” Naruto’s anxious roar came.
Lin Feng glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat!
In order to block a sneak attack from “Swift”, Naruto used his body to block it. He was blown away like a broken sandbag and rolled on the ground for several times before stopping, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth!
On the other side, Sasuke’s face looked extremely ugly.
His Chidori was extremely powerful, but it was completely neutralized by the strange khaki-colored stratum corneum defense of the “Stone Vulture”. He was even caught by the opponent’s flaw and forced back with a single punch, looking embarrassed and aggrieved!
As for Sakura, the situation is not optimistic either.
The poisonous mist and needles of the “Poison Owl” made her feel helpless. She had to protect the wounded behind her while trying to dodge. Her fair cheeks had turned an abnormally blue color, and it was obvious that she had inhaled a lot of poison gas!
hateful!
If this goes on, everyone will be killed here!
Anxiety gnawed at Lin Feng’s heart like a poisonous snake.
no!
Must calm down!
The more critical the situation, the calmer you need to be!
Lin Feng bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, the severe pain forcibly dispelled the confusion in his mind. He forced himself to hold his breath, focus all his attention on his body, and frantically activated the [Breath of Wind] inherited from the system!
breathe……
As the breathing method was fully implemented, everything around me seemed to slow down.
The sound of the wind was no longer a chaotic whistle, but instead became a whisper that could be interpreted.
The flow of air is no longer invisible and intangible, but has turned into clearly visible tracks and veins.
Lin Feng’s perception of the wind element reached an unprecedented peak at this moment!
He “saw” it!
The black-feather arrows shot by “Owl Eye” are not absolutely straight lines!
When they are flying, they will be affected by extremely weak air flow, resulting in almost imperceptible deflection!
Moreover, every time the “Owl Eye” gathers chakra to prepare to shoot an arrow, the way the chakra is gathered has a specific and subtle pattern!
It’s like… a sign of wind!
At the same time, Lin Feng felt the pair of blue-black [Wind Feather Wings] behind him. They were not just thrusters that provided explosive speed!
The wings themselves seem to have some kind of mysterious connection with the wind in nature, able to guide them and resonate with it**!
Buzz——
At this moment, the system’s cold prompt sound exploded in my mind!
[It is detected that the host’s understanding of the wind element has deepened, and the proficiency of the passive skill “Wind Breathing” has increased! Learn a new skill: Predict the trajectory of the wind! ]An astonishing look flashed in Lin Feng’s eyes!
Another black-feathered arrow, carrying the breath of death, shot straight into his face!
But this time, Lin Feng did not roll over and dodge like he did before.
At the moment when the arrow was about to hit him, the [Wind Feather Wings] behind him did not flap violently, but flicked lightly at an extremely delicate angle!
An invisible current of wind was precisely pulled and driven by the wings, as if it was skillfully manipulated by an invisible hand.
The black-feathered arrow that was determined to hit the target suddenly had an unnoticeable deflection in its trajectory. It flew past Lin Feng’s cheek and hit the open space behind him with a click!
Missed!
“Huh?!” The eyes under the “Owl Eye” mask in the distance suddenly widened, revealing an expression of disbelief.
He couldn’t understand why the arrow missed as the angle and timing were perfect.
He didn’t believe it and kept snapping his fingers, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Three black-feathered arrows formed a V-shape, blocking all of Lin Feng’s evasive angles, and shot out again!
Lin Feng’s mouth corners curled up in a cold arc.
[Wind Feather Wings] flapped lightly again, like a dancer waving his sleeves.
Three tiny cyclones were precisely guided, acting on the three arrows respectively.
As a result… the three arrows seemed to have lost their accuracy again, flying past various parts of his body without hitting any of them!
“How is this possible?!” “Owl Eyes” screamed in shock, his mind a little broken.
“I see…” Lin Feng’s confidence surged, “Since we can guide the wind to change the trajectory of the arrow, then…”
A sharp look flashed in his eyes, and his hands quickly formed seals!
“Ninja Technique! [Wind Release·Vacuum Jade]!”
Chakra condenses and compresses in the mouth!
But this time, Lin Feng did not spit it out directly!
He concentrated all his energy, stretched his thoughts wildly, and tried to apply the perception of the airflow by [Breath of Wind] and the weak guiding force of [Wings of Wind Feathers] to the vacuum jade that was about to be ejected!
This is undoubtedly a bold and even somewhat reckless attempt!
Puff! A high-speed spinning air cannonball came out of his mouth!
Its flying trajectory was no longer a straight line, but began to deviate shakily, drawing an awkward but unexpected arc!
It accurately bypassed the thick earth wall that the “Stone Eagle” hastily formed again!
“What?!” “Ishiju”, who was trying his best to suppress Sasuke, did not expect that the attack would come from the side. By the time he realized it, it was too late!
BANG!!
The arc-shaped vacuum jade hit the “Stone Eagle”‘s unprotected side hard!
“Hmm!”
The “Stone Vulture” let out a painful groan, and the hard ochre-colored stratum corneum defense on its body was instantly covered with cracks. The whole person staggered back half a step, and a huge flaw appeared in the defense!
“Now!” A fierce look flashed across Sasuke’s eyes, and he seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
He swung his left hand forward violently, and the Chidori lightning condensed in his palm suddenly expanded. It was no longer in the previous stabbing form, but instantly stretched and deformed, turning into an extremely sharp spear that flashed with terrifying lightning!
【Chidori Sharp Spear】!
Sizzle——!!!
The sharp electric gun penetrated into the crack in the side defense of “Stone Eagle” with incredible precision, just like cutting tofu, and instantly pierced through one of its arms and part of its torso!
Blood mixed with minced meat spurted out!
“Aaaaah——!” The “Stone Vulture” let out a shrill howl, fell heavily to the ground, and lost its combat effectiveness!
Lin Feng took a deep breath, feeling the smoother flow of power in his body and the free control over the wind element.
He has initially mastered the ability to control the trajectory of the wind!
This not only resolved his own impasse, but also successfully supported his teammates and created a key breakthrough!
The situation of passively taking a beating is over!
The balance of the battle began to tilt towards Team 7!
Chapter 40: Wind Dragon Shows Its Power and Kills the Strong Enemy (Old Version)
Sasuke succeeded in one strike, severely injuring the powerful enemy “Shijiu”, and the pressure of the battle suddenly eased. The “Shijiu” covered his bloody broken arm, his face twisted in pain, and looked at Sasuke with eyes full of resentment and a hint of subtle fear.
“Well done, Sasuke!” Naruto’s eyes lit up, and the frustration he felt from being teased by “Swift” just now was swept away. He aimed at “Swift”, who was temporarily tripped by his shadow clones. The guy was trying to get rid of the entanglement, and there was a hint of impatience in his movements. Naruto chuckled, and suddenly raised the chakra in his body, with a spirit of not admitting defeat. “Watch me! Rasengan!”
A blue chakra sphere quickly formed in his right hand, and the rotating airflow made a humming sound. Naruto exerted force on his feet and rushed towards the gap of “Yuyan”. “Yuyan” obviously did not expect Naruto to attack so desperately, and could only cross his arms to block in a hurry. The Rasengan was firmly imprinted on the opponent’s arm, and the powerful rotation force exploded instantly!
Bang! “Yuyan” groaned, and the whole person was pushed back several meters by this force. His feet plowed two deep marks on the ground. He felt numbness on his arms, and his eyes looked at Naruto with a little more solemnity. Finally, he got back some initiative. Naruto grinned and felt much better.
Lin Feng’s eyes were sharp, and his mind was racing. Since even the invisible vacuum jade could be guided to change its trajectory through [Wind Feather Wings] and [Wind Breathing], what about the more powerful and more complex [Wind Style: Black Feather Slash]?
If I could control the technique composed of countless fine and violent blue-black wind blades at will… it would be simply…
A thought flashed through his mind instantly, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose slightly.
It’s like… a dragon made of wind that obeys his commands!
Do it as soon as you think of it! Lin Feng no longer hesitated, took a deep breath, and poured the chakra that was flowing smoothly in his body, along with the wind trajectory prediction skills he had just mastered, into the pair of slightly fluttering blue-black [Wind Feather Wings] behind him without reservation.
The seals of both hands changed rapidly, and the last seal froze!
This time, it was completely different! The air was shaking violently!
As soon as countless dark blue wind blades appeared, they did not explode out of control in a fan-shaped straight line like before. Instead, under the guidance of Lin Feng’s powerful mental power, they instantly condensed, swirled, compressed, and merged!
They seemed to be endowed with life and will, swam rapidly in the air, twisted and spun, and the air was cut with a sharp whistle that made people’s teeth ache! In the blink of an eye, these violent wind blades turned into a ferocious wind dragon that was several meters long and composed of high-speed rotating blue-black wind blades!
The moment the wind dragon took shape, it let out a silent roar, and its dragon head suddenly raised up. Its “dragon eyes” formed by the eyes of the wind coldly locked onto the “owl eyes” in the distance!
“What?!” The face under the “Owl Eye” mask instantly lost all color, and a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, frightening him so much that he almost screamed.
What the hell is this? A ninjutsu that can transform into a dragon to track down an enemy? You must be kidding!
Almost instinctively, he immediately formed seals with his hands, trying to cast an illusion to interfere with Lin Feng’s control. At the same time, chakra exploded under his feet, and he retreated desperately, trying to create some distance.
However, the black wind dragon made of wind blades seemed to be unaware of the spiritual impact. It was completely an extension of Lin Feng’s will, a collection of pure physical attacks! The dragon’s body swung violently, leaving a trail of afterimages, and its speed increased instead of decreasing, like a hound tracking its prey, locking onto the breath of “Owl Eye” and chasing after it!
Too fast! And the sharp aura that cut through everything made his skin sting even from a distance!
“Owl Eye” only felt a darkness before his eyes, and the wind dragon emitting a strong breath of death had violently broken through his illusion barrier, caught up with him in an instant, and completely enveloped him!
Hiss, hiss, hiss—!
The wind dragon swallowed up the “Owl Eye” in an instant!
Rich black feather chakra erupted from his body in an attempt to form a shield, and there even seemed to be a vague afterimage of a substitution technique flashing by, but in front of the violently spinning cluster of wind blades, all defenses were instantly torn apart like thin paper!
The scalp-numbing cutting sounds rang out frequently, accompanied by the shrill and unwilling screams of “Owl Eye”!
After a few breaths, the wind dragon whizzed past, leaving behind a corpse that was badly cut into pieces and barely maintained a human shape. It fell heavily to the ground, twitched a few times, and then became completely silent.
Just as Lin Feng cleanly and neatly got rid of “Owl Eye”.
On the other side, Sakura, relying on her unyielding tenacity and concern for her companions, endured the discomfort brought by the poison, quickly took out a special antidote that she had prepared long ago, and stabbed it into her arm.
The cool liquid quickly flowed throughout the body, bringing a soothing feeling after the tingling. The blue color on the face began to fade slowly, but a trace of numbness and weakness caused by the poison still remained in the limbs.
Sakura clenched her teeth and forced herself to concentrate, just when the “Poison Owl” thought she was still slow and approached her again to try to launch a sneak attack with a poisoned kunai!
Her eyes suddenly became sharp, and she ignored the discomfort signals coming from her body, gathering all her chakra, anger, and determination into her right fist. The surface of her fist even glowed with a faint pink halo due to the excessive concentration of chakra!
“Shannaro!”
Strange power, bursting out without reservation!
A straight punch that was full of anger and determination hit the “Poison Owl”‘s side without any tricks!
Crack! A faint sound of bone cracking was heard!
“Puff!” The “poison owl” spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with internal organs, and its body flew backwards with a strange cry as if it was hit by a battering ram, and it successively broke two small trees as thick as bowls before collapsing on the ground like a pool of mud. Although it did not die immediately, it also suffered extremely serious internal injuries, and most of its ribs were broken. The look in its eyes when it looked at Xiaoying was full of incredible fear.
Lin Feng did not stop at all, and even felt that the wind-attribute chakra in his body became more active because of the successful spell just now.
He moved his mind slightly, as if commanding his own arm, controlling the black wind dragon, which was still emitting a dangerous aura despite its weakened power and smaller size, to change direction and pounce towards the “Swift” who was fighting fiercely with Naruto!
What “Swift” is most proud of is his speed and agility. But with the insight of Lin Feng’s [Wind Trajectory Prediction], his seemingly erratic high-speed moving trajectories became extremely clear in Lin Feng’s eyes, and he could even predict the landing point in a few tenths of a second in advance!
Coupled with the black wind dragon that could change direction flexibly and act as if it were an arm, constantly interfering and cutting at the side, the speed advantage of “Swift” was greatly weakened! He felt like he was stuck in a quagmire, and every dodge became extremely difficult. Several times, the wind blades brushed past his vitals, leaving traces of blood, and frightened him to the point of sweating!
“Now is the time, Naruto!” Lin Feng seized a perfect opportunity and immediately shouted a reminder.
Naruto had been holding back his strength for a long time, and when he heard Lin Feng’s shout, he immediately seized the huge flaw on the back of “Swift” that was exposed in order to avoid the wind dragon’s slash, almost like a conditioned reflex!
This time, Naruto subconsciously tried to infuse his own wind-attribute chakra into it as well – this was a technique he had occasionally touched upon in his recent practice. At this moment, in a hurry, the edge of the azure Rasengan was actually entangled with an extremely fine and unstable white cyclone, and the rotation became more rapid and violent, with a faint sense of cutting!
The blue and white Rasengan, with an unstoppable momentum, hit the defenseless back of “Swift” fiercely!
“Ah!” “Swift” let out a short and painful groan, without even having time to scream. The chakra that protected his body was torn apart in an instant, and the whole person was thrown forward like a kite with a broken string. His spine made a teeth-grinding cracking sound and he fell heavily to the ground more than ten meters away. His body was twisted unnaturally and he completely lost his ability to fight.
In the blink of an eye!
Four members of the Black Feather Elite Team, “Owl Eye” died! “Ishiwaki” was seriously injured by Sasuke and his arm was broken, and he was on the verge of death! “Swift” was completely defeated by Naruto! Only the “Poison Owl” was left, who was seriously injured by Sakura’s punch and was lying in the distance coughing up blood!
The battle situation was reversed in an instant!
Lin Feng, Naruto, and Sasuke quickly gathered together and surrounded the only two remaining enemies.
The blue-black wind feathers behind Lin Feng fluttered slowly, he was calm and composed, but there was a cold murderous intent flashing in his eyes; Naruto’s fists were clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound, his face was full of excitement and fighting spirit; Sasuke’s three-magatama Sharingan was spinning coldly, locking onto the remaining enemies, and the remaining arc of electricity from the Chidori Spear was still jumping on his fingertips.
The aura emanating from the three people was no longer the passive defense from before, but like three sharp swords unsheathed, sharp and murderous!
The seriously injured “Stone Vulture” struggled to get up, holding his broken arm, his face as pale as paper. He looked at the “Poison Owl” who was also seriously injured in the distance, and they both saw the same message from each other’s terrified eyes: fear and despair.
The game is over! These three Konoha Genin are simply monsters! Especially the guy who can control the wind blade to form a dragon!
If we continue fighting, we will definitely die!
The two men almost simultaneously felt like retreating. They exchanged glances, and suddenly each made a feint. One to the left, the other to the right, they ran away in different directions, using up their last bit of strength!
Class 7, relying on Lin Feng’s amazing breakthrough in desperate situation and the tacit cooperation and hard fighting among all members without words at the critical moment, successfully reversed the seemingly fatal situation. With an almost devastating posture, they completely defeated the powerful Black Feather Elite Team, which had tacit cooperation and came specifically to hunt them!
Chapter 41: Fame on the Battlefield Shocks Konoha (Old Version)
On the other side, the fierce battle between Kakashi and “Falcon” gradually determined the winner.
The attack of “Falcon” is still fierce and brutal. The strange black feather weapon’s ability to devour chakra is really difficult to deal with.
But Kakashi is, after all, an elite jonin who has experienced many battles.
The Sharingan spins rapidly, sensing every subtle movement of his opponent. His rich combat experience always enables him to escape danger at critical moments.
Even though his chakra consumption was huge and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, Kakashi’s momentum did not decrease but increased. He became more sophisticated and cunning in the transition between offense and defense, and gradually took the initiative back into his hands.
The strong light of Raikiri condensed again. This time, Kakashi predicted the blocking trajectory of Kurofeather’s weapon, and the angle was even more tricky!
“Falcon” was concentrating on dealing with Kakashi, but he caught a glimpse of a scene that made him shudder – the elite hunting team he carefully selected and placed high hopes on was actually… actually eliminated by those Konoha Genin, especially the “Container” Lin Feng, as easy as cutting melons and vegetables? !
“Owl Eye” is dead!
“Stone Vulture” is on the verge of death with a broken arm!
“Swift” was destroyed by that yellow-haired boy in one move!
Even the “Poison Owl”, who was best at saving lives and poisoning, was beaten half to death by that pink-haired girl with one punch!
How is this possible? !
How could the “container” that was only a little bit special in the intelligence be so strong? !
Those wings… that strange control over the wind and black feather energy…
An indescribable chill instantly rushed into Falcon’s heart, and for the first time, he looked at Lin Feng with a look of intense fear.
The growth rate of this “container” completely exceeded the organization’s expectations!
Must… must bring this information back!
At this moment, after Naruto and Sasuke reunited, Lin Feng did not choose to chase the two fleeing remnants.
He never hesitated to kill enemies who came to him seeking death, but now, the situation on the entire western battlefield was more important.
The blue-black [Wind Feather Wings] behind him fluttered violently!
Lin Feng’s figure turned into a blurred blue-black streamline, rising into the sky, instantly breaking away from the original battle circle of Class 7, and actively engaging in other areas where the battle situation was more stalemate.
He was like a flash of lightning that cut through the haze, sweeping across the chaotic battlefield at high speed.
The vacuum air bomb blessed by [Wind Trail Prediction] is no longer a rigid straight-line attack.
They drew tricky arcs in the air, bypassed obstacles, and accurately hit the Black Feather members who were hiding behind cover or fighting with Konoha ninjas.
Puff! Puff!
Screams rang out one after another.
At the same time, he clenched his hands and concentrated his mind on sensing the wind attribute chakra that had not yet completely dissipated after performing [Wind Style: Black Feather Slash].
Although he could no longer condense into a dragon shape like before, with the keen perception brought by [Prediction of Wind Trajectory], he could barely guide these scattered blue-black wind blade fragments, turning them into several streams of light with uncertain trajectories, shooting towards the direction where the enemy’s chakra was most densely sensed.
Wherever the wind blade passed, broken limbs flew everywhere and blood splattered!
Although those ordinary members of the Black Feather Organization tried their best to dodge and block, they suffered heavy casualties under Lin Feng’s wind-style attacks, which were beyond the comprehension of ordinary Genin, with tricky angles and huge power. Their carefully arranged formation was constantly torn into pieces and fell into chaos.
The pressure on Konoha’s defense line, which was originally in jeopardy, suddenly decreased!
“Watch out behind you!” A Konoha jonin who was struggling with three Black Feather ninjas suddenly heard a loud shout.
He subconsciously turned sideways and felt a sharp gust of wind brushing past his cheek.
The Black Feather Ninja behind him who was about to launch a sneak attack froze in place. A thin line of blood on his neck slowly expanded, and then his head rolled off.
The other two Black Feather Ninjas were also stunned by this sudden change. Before they could react, two arc-shaped vacuum jades hit their chests accurately, blasting two bloody holes and killing them on the spot.
The Konoha jonin turned around in shock and saw Lin Feng floating not far away, with the pair of dazzling blue-black wings behind him flapping slowly. He glanced indifferently at the corpse on the ground, and then turned into a streamline and rushed to the next area.
“Thank…thank you very much!” the senior ninja shouted subconsciously, his eyes full of gratitude and shock as he looked at Lin Feng’s back.
In the distance, on the towering command tower.
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the telescope in his hand, and a complex expression appeared on his old face, including relief, amazement, and a hint of imperceptible worry.
He exhaled a puff of smoke and murmured softly: “Minato… did you see that… Konoha has another incredible genius…”
On the battlefield, Lin Feng’s performance was truly too brilliant.
The iconic blue-black wings, the mysterious wind-style ninjutsu, and the ghostly speed of the body were all captured by countless pairs of eyes.
“Fuck! Who is that guy? So fierce?!”
“Is he a Genin? When did such a monster Genin appear in Konoha?”
“Those wings…are they a bloodline limit? Or some other secret technique?”
“Wait! He… he seems to be the one who exposed Danzo-sama’s conspiracy some time ago… the one called Lin Feng!”
“Yes! It’s him! That ruthless guy!”
Exclamations, discussions, and gasps of disbelief rang out one after another among the Konoha ninjas.
Lin Feng’s name and his unique [Wind Feather Wings] form spread throughout the entire western battlefield at an astonishing speed, like a virus.
In the hearts of countless Konoha ninjas, this suddenly rising young Genin has become the new spiritual symbol that supports them to continue fighting!
The morale of the Konoha side was greatly boosted, and the Black Feather Organization naturally also noticed this variable that broke the balance.
“Warning! Warning! Target ‘Container’ Lin Feng, the strength assessment is seriously wrong! Far beyond the Class A threat! Repeat, far beyond the Class A threat!”
“Attention all teams! Prioritize eliminating target ‘container’ Lin Feng! At all costs!”
The cold order was quickly transmitted to the ears of every Black Feather ninja who was still fighting through the special communication means within the Black Feather Organization.
Falcon’s heart sank to the bottom.
The elite team was completely wiped out, and the ordinary members were like chickens and dogs in front of Lin Feng, and could not organize an effective attack at all.
There is no point in continuing the fight except to increase casualties.
This raid…failed!
And the defeat was so complete!
“Falcon” knew that the situation was hopeless and it was pointless to fight any further, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
He suddenly burst out chakra without regard for consumption, exchanging injuries for moves, and at the same time, he took on Kakashi’s attack. At the same time, he used the black feather weapon to create a short chakra interference area, temporarily hindering Kakashi’s Sharingan from locking on and chasing.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he quickly took out a special whistle from his arms and blew out a short and extremely sharp sound containing special chakra fluctuations!
To ordinary people, this sound is just the harsh sound of birds, but to the trained Black Feather members, it is a top priority retreat order!
The Black Feather Ninja who received the signal, although unwilling, obeyed the order and immediately gave up the opponent in front of him. Like a receding tide, he quickly left the battlefield and retreated in the direction he came from.
Before leaving, the “Falcon” stared at Lin Feng, who was floating in the air with his wings slowly flapping, from a long distance with its sinister eyes.
That look was filled with resentment, unwillingness, and a trace of unconcealable…fear!
He wants to engrave this face and these wings firmly into the depths of his soul!
Container…Lin Feng! We will see each other again!
The ninja army of the Black Feather Organization came quickly and retreated quickly, disappearing on the distant horizon in the blink of an eye.
The smoke and smell of blood that permeated the western defense line had not yet dissipated, but the suffocating pressure suddenly disappeared.
After a brief silence, the surviving Konoha ninjas burst into deafening cheers!
Countless gazes, mixed with awe, curiosity, gratitude, and inquiry, all focused on the young figure who was slowly landing and folding his blue-black wings.
After this battle, Lin Feng truly became famous on the battlefield of Konoha in an extremely powerful and shocking way!
But he also knew that from this moment on, he had completely become a thorn in the side of the Black Feather Organization that they were determined to get rid of at all costs.
The trouble has just begun.
Chapter 42 System Settlement (Old Version)
The army of the Black Feather Organization was scattered like a frightened bird. The sharp retreat signal cut through the sky, and the echo was still vibrating in the air, leaving behind a messy battlefield and a lingering smell of blood. The dark crowd retreated, revealing the devastated land and the Konoha ninjas who were still gasping for breath.
The western defense line finally got a moment of respite. The suffocating tension suddenly relaxed, leaving only the exhaustion of surviving the disaster and the lingering smell of gunpowder.
The energy fluctuations of the blue-black wings behind Lin Feng gradually subsided, the light dimmed, and finally slowly dissipated.
His body swayed uncontrollably, his legs went weak, and he managed to steady himself with only his last bit of willpower. He fell from the sky with some exhaustion, landing not far from Kakashi. A strong sense of fatigue instantly swept over his body like a tide, every muscle screamed in pain, and his nerves throbbed, protesting against the extreme outburst just now. His eyes went dark, and the world seemed to be shaking slightly.
His face was as pale as paper, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, his breathing was rapid and heavy, his chest heaved violently, and he had to force himself not to collapse to the ground immediately.
The chakra in his body was almost exhausted, and his mental power was also greatly consumed, and his head was buzzing. Just now, controlling the wind dragon and predicting its trajectory seemed cool, but in fact, he was seriously overdrawn.
A hand pressed on his shoulder, gentle and steady, it was Kakashi.
In Kakashi’s exposed eye, approval was obvious, but there was also a hint of subtle solemnity and worry hidden deep inside.
“Well done, Lin Feng.” Kakashi’s voice was hoarse after the battle, and it could be heard that he was equally exhausted. “However, your power… comes from an unusual source. Be careful when using it and don’t let it affect your mind.” The nature of this power made him feel vaguely uneasy.
“Well, I will pay attention, Teacher Kakashi.” Lin Feng forced a slightly forced smile, trying to hide his physical weakness.
“Wow! Lin Feng! So cool! He’s so handsome that he has no friends!!”
The sound came before the person arrived. Naruto rushed over like a yellow whirlwind, circling around Lin Feng excitedly, his eyes shining with naked envy.
“That pair of wings! How did you make them? Teach me! I want one too! The kind that can fly by flapping its wings!” He even jumped up and down twice, waving his arms vigorously, imitating the movement of flying, causing several Konoha ninjas nearby who had just recovered from the shock to burst out laughing.
Sasuke still leaned grimly against a broken wall, one hand in his pocket, but the other hand was quietly clenched, the knuckles turned white due to the force. He looked at Lin Feng with sharp and complicated eyes, which were mixed with scrutiny, unwillingness and a subtle sense of urgency, revealing the huge waves in his heart.
Reluctance, jealousy, and the desire to become stronger that was ignited again, even more intense, were churning in his heart. This guy… was growing too fast! So fast that he felt unprecedented pressure.
“Lin Fengjun, how do you feel? Are you hurt anywhere?” Xiaoying ran over hurriedly, her face full of concern.
Xiaoying rushed over, her face full of concern. She squatted down, carefully checked the scrapes and scratches on Lin Feng’s body caused by the battle, and took out the medical kit she carried with her.
When her fingertips touched Lin Feng’s skin, which still had some blue-black energy fluctuations, her movements paused slightly. Besides worry, a hint of admiration and instinctive awe of the unknown power flashed across her eyes, but it was soon replaced by professionalism and concern. She gently applied the ointment and bandage.
Just as his teammates were talking around him, a series of long-awaited system prompts sounded in Lin Feng’s mind like nature’s music!
[It was detected that the host had an epiphany in the midst of danger, and comprehended a new combat skill, ‘Prediction of the Trail of the Wind’, successfully defeated the Black Feather Elite Squad, reversed the situation on the western front, and protected the Konoha defense line. Comprehensive evaluation: S-level! ][Ding! The side quest ‘Show your prowess on the battlefield’ has been completed!

Current total purification rate: 65%! The fusion degree of the black feather energy and the wind core in the body has increased to 30%! ]S-level rating! 3 advanced lottery points! Skill upgrades also come with features! Purification has soared by 15 percentage points!
Lin Feng only felt a warm current gushing out from the [Wind Core] in his dantian, quickly flowing through his body. The cold and stagnant feeling originally caused by the black feather energy was reduced by half, and his body’s perception of the wind element became clearer, as if he could touch the veins of the air flow. The newly acquired power also became more docile and harmonious.
The ability to control has really improved!
Lin Feng let out a long breath, and his heart finally settled down. He resisted the urge to open the lottery interface immediately, and silently said to calm down. This is a high-level lottery point, which must be used at a critical moment. Maybe it can draw a life-saving trump card. Save it first!
On the battlefield, Kakashi quickly resumed his role as commander and began to deploy follow-up matters.
“The medical team should hurry up and treat the wounded, giving priority to the seriously injured!”
“Teams 1 and 2 are responsible for clearing the battlefield and collecting any valuable intelligence, especially items left behind by the enemy!”
“The third and fourth teams should immediately reinforce the fortifications and rearrange the warning barriers and traps! The enemy may come back, so we must not let our guard down!”
The surviving Konoha ninjas immediately took action. Although everyone was injured and exhausted, the joy of repelling the powerful enemy and the shock brought by Lin Feng rekindled their fighting spirit.
Lin Feng found a relatively secluded corner and sat cross-legged. While circulating his chakra to restore his strength, he immersed his mind and carefully felt the changes in his body and strength.
The improvement of [Wind Breathing] was immediate, and his wind perception range and accuracy were improved. [Wind Affinity] was even more of a surprise, increasing the power of wind escape and reducing consumption, which was simply a magical skill for endurance!
As the degree of purification and fusion of the black feather increases, the ability of [Black Feather Sensing] also increases.
He concentrated his mind and, with the help of his enhanced [Black Feather Sensing], he vaguely caught a hint of intermittent abnormal fluctuations coming from an extremely distant direction.
The fluctuation was extremely weak, but it carried a heart-pounding ominous meaning, as if some huge energy was being disturbed and gathered in an unnatural way, making him instinctively feel a deep sense of uneasiness.
The harvest from this war was beyond imagination. Strength increased, reputation soared, purification mission advanced in strides, everything was moving in a positive direction.
Lin Feng clenched his fists, feeling the more concentrated power in his body, and a confident light flashed in his eyes. No matter what he faced next, he had a stronger confidence.
Chapter 43: The Black Pillar Formation Changes (Old Version)
The battlefield cleanup work was carried out in a tense and orderly manner.
The Konoha ninjas dragged their tired bodies, dealt with the bodies of their companions, and collected the enemy’s equipment. The air was filled with the pungent smell of blood and gunpowder.
At this moment, a team of Anbu responsible for outer security made a shocking discovery.
“Captain Kakashi!” An Anbu wearing a raccoon mask appeared in front of Kakashi in an instant, and said in a hurried tone, “We found this on the retreat route of the Black Feather scum!”
In his hand he held a scroll with a pattern on it.
Kakashi took the scroll and unfolded it. On it were drawn several points distributed around the western periphery of the village, and each point was marked with a strange black object.
“What is this?” Kakashi frowned.
“We found the real thing.” The Anbu said solemnly, “Follow me.”
Kakashi and the Anbu quickly arrived at the scene.
All I saw were a few black pillars about half a person’s height, deeply wedged into the scorched earth.
The material of the pillar is unknown, it is pitch black, and the surface is engraved with dense, twisted and grotesque runes, giving off a cold and evil aura, which comes from the same source as the chakra of the Black Feather Organization.
The pillars seemed to be scattered randomly, but upon closer inspection, their positions vaguely formed an irregular formation, and there seemed to be some kind of energy flowing between them.
Kakashi crouched down and touched the shaft of the pillar with his gloved hand; it was freezing cold.
He could feel that there was an extremely compressed energy inside the pillar, and that it was establishing some kind of connection with the earth through the bottom.
“Go call Lin Feng over!” Kakashi ordered immediately.
Lin Feng was in the corner, trying to recover his chakra. When he heard the call, he immediately rushed over.
Seeing these strange black totem poles, he frowned instinctively.
Turn on [Black Feather Sensing].
In an instant, the surging black feather energy inside the totem pole appeared in his perception like a substance, so rich that it was sickening.
What frightened him even more was that these energies were not static.
“Teacher Kakashi!” Lin Feng’s face suddenly changed, and his voice was filled with unbelievable horror, “These pillars… they are sucking! They are madly extracting energy from the ground!”
Earth veins!
He clearly “saw” that streams of pure earth energy were being forcibly extracted by the runes at the bottom of the totem pole, and then transformed into black feather energy with a more sinister nature and stored within the pole!
“Earth vein energy?!” Kakashi stood up suddenly and his Sharingan shrank rapidly.
He instantly thought of the information he had obtained from the Sand Village before, as well as Danzo’s vague “Owl Plan”!
Could it be that the Black Feather Organization went to such great lengths to attack the village, and their real target was the earth vein node near Konoha?
These lunatics!
“Captain, look,” another Anbu who was good at formation analysis pointed at the map, “the locations of these totem poles just correspond to the three most important shallow exits of earth vein energy near our western defense zone!”
Lin Feng closed his eyes and pushed [Black Feather Sensing] to the extreme.
He sensed that the energy absorbed and transformed by the totem pole was not completely stored, but instead, like a trickle, it converged and transmitted in the same direction through some secret connection.
That direction is…southeast of the village!
This was exactly the place that had been detected before, where the Black Feather Organization’s army initially gathered, and it was also the location where the “Falcon” stayed before its arrival!
“They are charging something!” Lin Feng said anxiously, “The target is in the southeast direction!”
“Damn it!” Kakashi’s eyes flashed with coldness, “We must destroy them immediately!”
Several Anbu ninjas drew out their ninja swords without hesitation, condensed their chakra, and chopped hard at the nearest totem pole!
“clang!”
Sparks flying!
The runes on the surface of the totem pole suddenly lit up, and a solid black energy shield popped out instantly. The attack from the dark forces was like a drop in the ocean, leaving only a few shallow white marks on the shield, without even a ripple.
Instead, the shield absorbed the surrounding energy at a faster rate and became stronger!
“What a hard turtle shell!” an Anbu exclaimed.
Lin Feng’s eyes focused and he quickly formed seals with his hands.
A blue-black wind blade whizzed out and slashed on the energy shield with a sharp cutting sound.
Chi Chi Chi——
The damage caused this time was obviously greater, the shield flashed violently, and dense cuts were left on the surface.
But the next second, the energy drawn from the earth veins poured in, and the shield returned to its original state, and even became more solid.
This thing’s energy recovery speed is so fast!
It’s like a perpetual motion machine!
Just when everyone was at a loss,
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of deafening and violent explosions suddenly came from inside the village!
Flames shot up into the sky and thick smoke billowed, and you could see it clearly even from a distance!
The direction from which the explosion came gave Kakashi a cardiac arrest.
That is… the location of the root base!
“Not good!” Kakashi’s face changed drastically and he shouted, “Something happened to Danzo!”
Was it the expected internal strife at the root?
Or… the Black Feather Organization is making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, and their real target is the Root? Or is it Danzo himself? !
Almost at the same time, Lin Feng’s [Black Feather Sensing] also captured the drastic changes!
Near the root base, several suffocatingly powerful chakras suddenly erupted and collided!
One of them was cold, dark, and full of repressed madness. It was definitely that old guy Danzo!
But at this moment, Danzo’s aura seemed to be fighting wildly with another equally powerful force full of tyranny and destructive will!
What made Lin Feng’s scalp tingle was that he clearly sensed a familiar breath, which also appeared near the battle circle of the root base!
It was the Black Feather cadre who had just retreated, “Falcon”!
How could he be there?!
A terrifying guess that made people feel cold all over struck Lin Feng and Kakashi’s minds at the same time like lightning!
That old bastard Danzo is simply using the chaos created by the Black Feather Organization to attack Konoha!
While everyone’s attention was drawn to the external battlefield, he carried out his own secret plan in the root base!
Even… it is very likely that he has reached some kind of dirty, temporary, mutually beneficial agreement with the Black Feather Organization in order to achieve a certain goal!
It is no accident that “Falcon” appears there!
Damn it! This is too much!
Kakashi felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
Outside, there is a totem formation set up by the Black Feather Organization, which is frantically absorbing the energy of the earth veins. It is obvious that they are preparing for a devastating move!
There is a time bomb called Danzo inside who is taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, and he may even have let a wolf into the house and colluded with the enemy!
The situation in Konoha Village instantly slipped from a brutal defense battle into a more complicated, more treacherous and more dangerous abyss!
This is a hellish start!
Chapter 44: Internal and External Troubles (Old Version)
The violent explosion coming from the Root Base was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of every Konoha high-ranking official, and the atmosphere in the command tower instantly froze to freezing point.
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen’s face turned pale and he slammed the table so hard that he almost dropped his pipe.
“Asuma!” He almost roared the order, “Immediately lead your team and go to the root base to investigate the situation as quickly as possible! Remember, no matter what you see, prioritize your own safety and report at any time!”
“Yes!” Asuma Sarutobi disappeared instantly.
The Third Hokage turned to the communication ninja again: “Notify Kakashi, the defense on the western front must not be relaxed! Those strange pillars must be closely monitored! The Black Feather Organization may counterattack at any time!”
Orders came down like flowing water, and the entire Konoha was on edge again.
The western battlefield, after the brutal battle just now, now enjoyed a very brief moment of peace.
The air was filled with a mixture of blood and burnt smells, making one feel sick.
The wounded were carefully carried away by medical ninjas and sent to a temporary hospital in the rear.
The members of Class 7 finally got a chance to catch their breath and gathered under a relatively intact broken wall.
Xiaoying squatted in front of Lin Feng and gently treated the wound on his arm caused by the gravel.
Her technique was professional and meticulous, and the alcohol cotton caused slight stinging as it rubbed against the skin.
Sakura’s eyes unconsciously swept across Lin Feng’s pale profile, and the outline of the blue-black wings that she had caught a glimpse of during the battle, which had now disappeared without a trace, but left a faint mark on the skin behind her.
The worry was so obvious, but deep in her eyes, there was a kind of shock and admiration that she herself couldn’t explain.
This teammate who usually seemed easy to get along with, had unleashed a power that was far beyond her understanding.
Naruto sat down on the ground carelessly with his hands behind his head, but his blue eyes were staring at Lin Feng without blinking.
The scene of Lin Feng killing everyone just now had a huge impact on him!
Although he was still shouting that he wanted to learn how to fly wings, there was obviously a bit more seriousness in his eyes that was not there before.
He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth secretly: Damn it! Next time! I must be stronger next time! I can’t always watch Lin Feng take the limelight alone, and I can’t always need him to save the situation!
Sasuke chose a further corner and leaned against the cold broken wall alone.
He lowered his head, took out a piece of white cloth, and slowly wiped his beloved kunai. The metal reflected the faint sunlight.
From the corner of his eye, he would glance at Lin Feng from time to time with extremely complicated expressions.
The speed of growth, the unprecedented black feather power that even carried an evil aura…all of these were like sharp thorns that pierced deeply into his proud heart.
Pressure! Unprecedented pressure! And an irrepressible feeling of…jealousy!
The glory of the Uchiha clan and the obsession with revenge burned into his heart like a red-hot iron.
That guy’s power…so weird, yet so powerful!
If even a guy who appeared out of nowhere can gain such power, then what are my efforts for revenge worth?
Is it really true that only by any means necessary can… No!
My Uchiha power is the strongest!
He couldn’t help but increase the force when wiping the kunai, and his knuckles turned white from the effort.
Lin Feng keenly noticed the subtle changes in the atmosphere among his teammates.
Naruto’s unwillingness, Sasuke’s silence, and Sakura’s hesitant worry.
He felt an inexplicable warmth in his heart. Although everyone had different thoughts, the friendship among their companions was real.
He pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing his usual cheerful smile, and broke the silence: “Hey, are you all okay? That was really… tough just now! Thanks to you for holding those guys back.”
A simple greeting slightly eased the tense atmosphere that was about to break.
At this moment, Kakashi’s figure appeared in front of them as if by teleportation.
His face was solemn and he handed a scroll directly to Lin Feng.
“I just received urgent intelligence, the preliminary news sent back by Asuma and the others.” Kakashi’s voice was low and hoarse, “The Root base… has indeed started a fight. The noise was very loud, and it looks like Danzo is forcibly suppressing the opponents within.”
He paused, his tone becoming heavier: “And… they found clear traces of the Black Feather Organization’s activities at the scene.”
Lin Feng took the scroll, glanced through it quickly, and his brows instantly twisted into knots.
Sure enough! The previous speculation was confirmed!
That old man Danzo is really not a good guy! Taking advantage of the chaos in the village, he made trouble inside and actually got involved with the Black Feather Organization!
What the hell are you trying to do? Rebellion?!
“The Third Hokage’s order,” Kakashi looked at Lin Feng with complicated eyes, “is that you must stay on the western front for the time being. Your [Black Feather Sensing] is crucial for monitoring those totem poles and guarding against the counterattack of the Black Feather Organization. And…”
Kakashi lowered his voice and said, “The ability you have revealed now is of great value to Danzo. He may do whatever it takes to get something from you… or even get rid of you. Be careful!”
“I understand, Teacher Kakashi.” Lin Feng nodded solemnly.
He is well aware of his current situation.
To the Kuroba Organization, he is a “container” that must be captured or a threat that must be eliminated.
For Danzo, he could be a key piece in the plan, or he could be an unstable factor that must be eliminated.
There was covetousness and murderous intent everywhere, as if he had become a tempting piece of fat meat, but it also carried a deadly poison. Everyone wanted to take a bite, but was afraid of being bitten back.
Lin Feng took a deep breath and suppressed the irritation in his heart.
He needs power, more power!
Taking advantage of this rare breathing time, he immediately calmed down and began to study the system panel carefully.
The progress of the [Black Feather Purification] mission has reached 65%, which is a big step closer to completely resolving this hidden danger.
The newly acquired [Wind Affinity] feature is a timely help, increasing the power of wind escape, reducing consumption, and directly raising the endurance to a higher level.
You must familiarize yourself with and master these new changes as soon as possible!
He tried to combine the perception of [Wind Breathing] with [Black Feather Sensing].
The two abilities seemed to produce some kind of wonderful resonance.
Buzz…
His range of perception suddenly expanded, no longer limited to chakra fluctuations, and he could even vaguely “hear” more subtle things.
For example… those strange black totem poles in the distance, when they are madly devouring the energy of the earth veins, they emit a low, evil buzzing sound like the pulse of some kind of creature!
This made Lin Feng even more uneasy.
Just as he was concentrating on sensing——
An extremely weak, yet extremely familiar chakra fluctuation flashed very quickly in the nearby area like a ghost, and then disappeared without a trace!
Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes and his pupils contracted!
This feeling… is… Yakushi Kabuto? !
He immediately pushed his senses to the limit and frantically scanned the surroundings, but could no longer detect any traces.
It was as if the other party had never appeared and was hidden perfectly.
How did he end up here?
In this chaotic moment?! Could it be that…
Lin Feng’s heart sank instantly.
This guy is Orochimaru’s confidant! His appearance almost means that Orochimaru, the venomous snake, has also set his sights on this chaos!
The Kuroba Organization, Danzo, and now Orochimaru who might be lurking in the dark…
Damn! The water in Konoha is getting muddier and muddier!
The short break did not bring any peace.
Beneath the calmness of the western battlefield lies a more turbulent and treacherous undercurrent.
A bigger storm seemed to be brewing rapidly above Konoha Village.
Chapter 45: The World-Destroying Crisis Finally Arrives (Old Version)
Dawn is supposed to be the moment to dispel darkness and bring hope, but at this moment it is shrouded in a suffocating depression.
The ninjas on the western front of Konoha had just experienced a bloody battle, and their nerves had not yet completely relaxed. Fatigue and vigilance were intertwined on everyone’s face.
Without any warning, a terrifyingly thick black-purple beam of light suddenly tore through the faint light of dawn in the southeast sky and pierced the sky like the fangs of hell!
The beam of light was so evil and ominous that just one glance at it could send a chill down one’s spine.
Then, the earth seemed to be grasped by an invisible giant hand and began to shake violently and crazily!
The unsteady ninjas staggered to and fro, looking towards the source of the vibration in horror.
An indescribable, despairingly huge evil chakra surged like a flood that broke through a dam, quickly condensing and pressing heavily on everyone’s heart, almost crushing their bones!
“What the hell! What the hell is that?!”
“This chakra… is so scary!”
Lin Feng suddenly woke up from his breathing state, and the skin on his back felt a burning pain. The [Black Feather Sensing] in his mind frantically sounded the highest level alarm, sharp and piercing!
He screamed, his voice distorted by fear and urgency: “Oh no! It’s those damn totem poles! The leyline energy they absorb… has been activated!”
Kakashi was right next to him, his one eye instantly widened and his expression was uglier than ever.
“The Black Feather Organization…is about to launch a general attack!”
His voice was dry and solemn. “Moreover, they actually succeeded in activating the energy of the earth veins! This is definitely some kind of super-large forbidden technique or… evil ritual!”
The atmosphere in the control tower was as heavy as iron.
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up suddenly, his old face filled with anger and determination.
The pipe in his hand hit the table heavily, making a dull sound.
“Pass my orders!”
The old man’s majestic voice resounded throughout the command tower, “Everyone! Prepare to fight back! Immediately activate the village’s highest level Four Purple Flame Array defense barrier!”
The order spread throughout Konoha at the fastest speed.
Almost at the same time, a black wave emerged again outside the village!
Countless ninjas from the Black Feather Organization were like evil spirits crawling out of hell. Their numbers were no less than the previous wave. Their eyes were more fanatical, their actions were more fearless, and they were attacking the newly-risen lavender defensive barrier like crazy!
“Bang bang bang!” Violent ripples appeared on the surface of the barrier.
Above the sky, the dark purple beam of light that penetrated the sky and the earth began to twist and deform violently.
The light and darkness intertwined, gradually condensing into an extremely huge, indescribable outline.
It was a hideous monster phantom made up of countless fluttering black feathers!
It has no fixed shape and is constantly wriggling and changing. The destructive aura it exudes makes the entire sky wail!
“roar–!”
The monster’s shadow roared silently and opened its huge mouth that was big enough to swallow a mountain.
In its mouth, a deeper and more terrifying beam of black and purple energy began to rapidly converge and compress!
The fluctuation of energy caused tiny folds in space, and the target… was the core area of ​​Konoha Village – Hokage Rock!
Finished!
All the Konoha ninjas who saw this scene felt a cold despair in their hearts.
If such a terrifying energy cannon hits its target, the entire Konoha will probably be reduced to dust!
However, at this critical moment!
Mutation regeneration!
Inside the village, near the root base, a deafening roar erupted again!
An equally powerful, even more violent, more ominous, and full of madness and desire for destruction chakra rose into the sky like a volcanic eruption!
Immediately afterwards, a twisted figure, with a lot of bloody bandages wrapped around its body, shot into the sky like a cannonball!
The face hidden under the bandages was sinister and crazy!
Danzo’s aura at this moment is completely different from before!
More dark red blood oozed out from under the bandages wrapped around his body, and on his exposed skin one could even see twisted, tree-root-like tendons twitching slightly.
A chakra mixed with death, decay and crazy resentment rose into the sky. It was not purely powerful, but more like an extremely unstable forbidden aggregate that could collapse completely at any time, filled with a tyrannical desire to destroy everything!
What’s even more shocking is that he completely ignored the energy cannon above his head that was about to destroy Konoha, and also ignored the ninjas from his fellow village fighting bloody battles below!
His twisted figure, with an extremely greedy madness, rushed straight towards the black-feathered monster shadow in the sky!
What does he want to do? !
Snatch?! Or control?!
He actually wanted to snatch the huge energy that could destroy everything at this time? !
Madman! Absolutely madman!
The battlefield instantly fell into unprecedented chaos!
The Konoha ninjas were stunned!
Not only do they have to fight desperately against the endless Black Feather Army outside, but they also have to watch helplessly as the world-destroying energy cannon is about to fall from their heads. Now… they also have to guard against a former high-level elder who may have completely lost control and is trying to seize the enemy’s power? !
How can we fight this battle?!
Despair spread like a plague.
Lin Feng stared at the sky blankly.
On one side is the world-destroying monster formed by the Black Feather Organization’s condensed earth energy, and on the other side is Danzo who is completely crazy and trying to take advantage of the situation.
Two huge and evil forces confronted and collided in the sky, and the pressure they emitted made it almost impossible for him to breathe!
An unprecedented sense of crisis, like a cold poisonous snake, wrapped around his heart!
At this moment, a glaring scarlet warning suddenly popped up on the system interface in his mind!
[Warning! A world-destroying crisis has been detected! Emergency mission has been triggered!][Emergency Mission: World-destroying Crisis: Signs of Metamorphosis! ][Mission Objective: At all costs, stop the Black Feather Organization’s ‘Pseudo-Feathering Ceremony’ energy cannon from hitting the core area of ​​Konoha! Survive in the extremely chaotic battlefield! Protect the area around the Hokage Rock! ][Mission Difficulty: Extremely Dangerous! ][Task Reward: 10 Advanced Lottery Points! Special Task [Black Feather Purification] Progress Increased by 30%! Mysterious Skill Scroll x1! ]The generous reward made Lin Feng’s heart skip a beat, but the desperate situation before him made his scalp tingle!
Stop that?! You must be kidding!
But the mission has been released and there is no turning back!
Besides, if Konoha was gone, where could he go?
“Naruto! Sasuke! Sakura!”
Kakashi’s voice brought him out of his shock.
The members of Class 7 gathered together subconsciously.
Naruto looked at the darkness in the sky that was enough to swallow everything. For the first time, there was no smile on his face. His lips were tightly pursed, and horror and an aroused, almost instinctive anger were surging in the depths of his blue eyes.
Sasuke’s three-magatama Sharingan spun wildly, almost oozing blood. He stared at the two equally evil yet hostile terrifying existences in the sky, his nails digging deeply into his palms. While his inner pride was crushed by the scene before him, an even colder murderous intent and desire to become stronger were burning.
Sakura’s face was as pale as paper, and her body trembled slightly uncontrollably, but when she saw the determined look in her companion’s eyes, she took a deep breath and clenched her fists tightly. The fear was forcibly suppressed, and replaced by the determination to protect, and her eyes were unusually firm.
Lin Feng took a deep breath and suppressed the turbulent waves in his heart.
Who cares what monster he is! Who cares what Danzo is!
I have a system! I can also cheat!
The [Wind Core] and black feather energy in his body began to operate at an unprecedented speed!
A pair of more solid and larger blue-black wings suddenly spread out behind him!
[Wind Feather Wings] Launch with full force!
Lin Feng’s eyes flashed with determination, his dark blue wings rolled up air currents, and his low but extremely clear voice reached every companion’s ears: “There is more than one enemy! Defend the Hokage Rock! Defend everything behind us!”
He rushed out first, “For Konoha! Kill!”
The final defense of Konoha has officially begun amidst the desperate situation of internal and external troubles!
Chapter 46: Two Evils Approach the City’s Doomsday Crisis (Old Version)
An indescribable black and purple energy beam tore through the dark sky without any warning, and pierced into the sky with an aura of destruction!
It was as if there was a hole in the sky!
Then, the top of the light column began to gather energy frantically, gradually condensing into a huge, evil energy cannon that exuded infinite pressure!
The terrifying chakra fluctuations were like a real tsunami, sweeping across the entire Konoha in an instant!
The earth was shaking violently, and countless buildings were groaning as they were unable to bear the weight!
“What the hell is that?!”
“Oh my god! Is the world ending?!”
“This chakra…I…I can’t move!”
Panic spread like a plague in every corner of Konoha! Civilians screamed and ran away, ninjas turned pale, and their hands holding kunai were shaking!
A subtle but clear cracking sound was heard.
Everyone’s eyes subconsciously turned to the symbol of the village – Hokage Rock!
I saw fine cracks appearing on the surface of the huge stone sculpture!
The defensive barrier covering the bottom of the Hokage Rock was like a candle in the wind, its light flickering and fluctuating violently, and it looked like it was on the verge of complete collapse!
Inside the command tower, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen slammed his pipe on the table, his old face twisted with anger, but his eyes were as sharp as a knife!
“Order! Activate the highest level of defense barrier – the Four Purple Flame Formation!”
His voice was hoarse, but it carried unquestionable authority.
But everyone understands that this is just a temporary solution to quench thirst and just a way to buy a little insignificant time!
“Kill—!”
Outside the village, the black wave surged in again!
The ninjas of the Black Feather Organization were like chicken blood, their offensive was more than ten times more fierce than before! With fanaticism and bloodthirstiness flashing in their eyes, they madly attacked the lavender barrier wall that had just risen!
Konoha’s defense line was already exhausted from the previous battle, and it was even more precarious at this moment, and the number of casualties began to soar sharply!
However, at this time when foreign threats were surging!
An even more deafening roar suddenly exploded from inside the village, near the root base!
An indescribable chakra rose into the sky!
That chakra was filled with madness! Tyranny! And pure desire for destruction! It was as if the devil from the deepest part of hell had broken free!
A twisted figure rushed into the sky at an astonishing speed!
Everyone looked carefully and gasped!
At this moment, he looked even more terrifying than before!
The dark red bloodstains under the bandage had spread over a wider area, and on the exposed skin, those strange earthworm-like tendons twisted and squirmed as if they were alive, especially his deformed and swollen right arm, which emitted unstable energy fluctuations that made people’s heart palpitate!
His aura was extremely chaotic, yet powerful enough to be suffocating—he was at the peak of Kage level!
But what is even more horrifying is that at this moment, Danzo’s eyes do not see the battlefield below, his fellow Konoha fighters fighting bloody battles, or even the energy cannon above his head that is about to destroy everything!
His single scarlet eye, and the disturbing scarlet lights flickering faintly in the gaps of the bandages on his deformed right arm, were all fixed on the sky! They were fixed on the core of the black-purple energy cannon!
“Ho ho ho…power…mine…all mine!!!”
He let out a roar like a broken bellows, completely ignoring the rules of the battlefield, and turned into a black shadow, rushing straight towards the world-destroying energy cannon!
snatch?!
This lunatic! He actually wants to snatch the Black Feather Organization’s world-destroying weapon at this time? !
Danzo’s crazy behavior immediately interfered with the concentration of the energy cannon!
Sizzle——!
The energy core in the sky became unstable for a moment, and some of the out-of-control energy turned into thick lightning like a black python, striking down aimlessly!
Several black lightning bolts struck the battlefield on the ground, clearing out a large area in an instant. Both the Black Feather Ninja and the Konoha Ninja were turned into charcoal!
Chaos! Chaos like never before!
“Beep! Beep! Beep! Warning! Warning!”
In Lin Feng’s mind, [Black Feather Sensing] sent out an alarm so sharp that it pierced his eardrums!
At the same time, the system interface was forced to pop up, and large scarlet characters occupied the entire field of vision!
[Apocalyptic energy reaction detected! Triggering S+ level emergency mission! ][Mission name: World-destroying crisis: Signs of metamorphosis! ]Mission objectives:
[1. We must prevent the Black Feather Energy Cannon from hitting the core area of ​​Konoha (especially the Hokage Rock)! ]【2. Survive in the extremely chaotic battlefield! 】

Protect the symbolic meaning of the Hokage Rock from being completely destroyed! ][(Optional) Investigate the truth behind the incident involving Shimura Danzo. ][Mission Reward: Huge lottery points! [Black Feather Purification] progress has been greatly improved! Special skills/items! ]Looking at the task requirements and rewards, Lin Feng felt his scalp tingling!
Stop that thing?! What a joke!
But the next second, his eyes became extremely firm!
Retreat? Where to retreat?! Konoha is gone, where can he, a time traveler, go?!
“Lin Feng! Naruto! Sasuke! Sakura!”
Kakashi’s voice brought him back to reality.
This jonin mentor who always appears lazy now has a face so serious that water could drip out of it, and the one eye that is exposed is full of determination and a will to die!
Class 7 moved closer subconsciously.
Naruto stared at the devastating energy cannon and the crazy Danzo in the sky. His blond hair moved without wind, his usual playfulness was gone, and his lips were tightly pursed.
From the depths of his azure eyes, the violent chakra of the Nine-Tailed Fox flowed out uncontrollably, and even a faint red aura appeared on his body. He gritted his teeth and growled, “Asshole… don’t even think about destroying my village!”
Sasuke’s three-magatama Sharingan has been rotated to the extreme, and blood is almost seeping out of the corners of his eyes! His cold eyes swept back and forth between the energy cannon and Danzo, his nails dug deep into the flesh, a sense of humiliation called “powerlessness” and an even crazier obsession to become stronger burned fiercely in his heart! Killing intent boiled!
Sakura’s face was pale and her body was still shaking slightly, but when she saw the resolute backs of Kakashi and his companions, she bit her lower lip and clenched her fists! Fear was forcibly suppressed, and replaced by the belief of protection! Her eyes were extremely firm!
Lin Feng took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress the fear and surging blood in his heart.
The [Wind Core] in his body and the [Black Feather Energy] with a fusion degree of 30% are running at an unprecedented speed at this moment!
call–!!!
A powerful burst of chakra suddenly erupted!
A pair of enormous blue-black wings with an astonishing wingspan instantly spread out behind him!
[Wind Feather Wings]! Launch with all your strength!
The wings flapped, creating a violent gust of air that blew away the dust and gravel on the ground!
Lin Feng’s eyes flashed with a resolute light, mixed with a hint of fierceness. He knew that there was no way to retreat at this moment, and shouted loudly to his companions behind him:
“Goal! Protect the Hokage Rock!”
Before he finished his words, he turned into a swift blue-black stream of light and rushed out first!
Facing the chaotic energy turbulence!
Face the crazy traitor Danzo!
“Oh!” Naruto roared and followed!
Sasuke followed closely behind, his figure as fast as lightning!
Kakashi and Sakura also rushed into the death zone without hesitation!
Class 7, live towards death!
Chapter 47: Danzo loses control and grabs energy (old version)
The dark blue [Wind Feather Wings] flapped violently, and Lin Feng’s figure turned into a blurred afterimage in the violent airflow.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several chaotic wind blades condensed by Danzo’s uncontrolled chakra flew past the corners of his clothes, cutting through the air with a sharp whistle.
Immediately afterwards, the black lightning leaked from the huge energy core in the sky, struck down like a poisonous snake, and blasted black marks in the airspace where Lin Feng had just flashed through.
“Tsk! This guy is simply a moving disaster!”
Relying on his extreme speed and keen perception of air currents, Lin Feng dangerously shuttled through the gap of death.
His eyes were sharp as he locked onto the expanding black and purple energy cannon core in the sky.
He took a deep breath, and several highly compressed air bullets were ejected instantly, tearing through the air and shooting accurately at the energy core.
However, these vacuum jades that were powerful enough to penetrate steel were like a drop in the ocean when they came into contact with the invisible, huge energy field surrounding the energy cannon. They did not even cause a ripple and were directly annihilated without a trace.
“Damn! His defense is so abnormal?!”
Lin Feng’s heart sank; the strength of this energy cannon was far beyond his imagination.
At this moment, the crazy figure below – Danzo, suddenly raised his head.
His single scarlet eye and the several Sharingans faintly visible under the arm bandage were staring at Lin Feng in mid-air.
Especially the strong and unique wind attribute energy in Lin Feng’s body, which seemed to have some indescribable attraction and repulsion with the violent power in his body, just like a starving beast seeing a tonic, instantly arousing his crazy instinct to plunder all available power! His eyes burst out with undisguised greed and murderous intent!
“Little ghost… the power in you… is very special…”
Danzo let out a hoarse and distorted growl, his voice full of possessive desire.
He actually temporarily gave up the fight for the energy cannon core and allocated some of his violent power.
As the violent winds gathered, an extremely huge, ferocious claw with twisted black lines on its surface and emitting an ominous aura – [Claw of the Wind Demon], condensed into shape out of thin air, and with the momentum to tear everything apart, it grabbed Lin Feng fiercely!
The target of this claw was the energy core in Lin Feng’s body! He wanted to take it by force!
“Don’t even think about it!”
At the critical moment, a silver-white figure appeared in an instant!
Sizzle!
A blinding flash of lightning burst out, and Kakashi, holding the [Raikiri] that had been condensed to the extreme, fiercely chopped it down on the claw of the wind demon!
“Clang!”
It was like the sound of metal clashing! Raikiri barely managed to cut off the giant claw, but Kakashi was also knocked back by the huge recoil force. The arm holding Raikiri felt numb, and the pupil of the Sharingan under the forehead protector suddenly shrank.
“This power…Danzo…” Kakashi was shocked. The power displayed by Danzo at this moment had completely exceeded his expectations!
“Look at me! Rasengan!”
On the ground, Naruto rushed over with a roar, and rubbed his hands to create a high-speed rotating blue chakra ball. At the same time, hundreds of shadow clones shouted and pounced on Danzo.
“【Multiple Shadow Clones】 plus 【Rasengan】!”
However, as soon as the dozens of shadow clones in the front approached the three-meter range around Danzo, they were instantly torn into pieces by an invisible but extremely violent wind pressure!
The subsequent shadow clones and Rasengan collided with the wind pressure barrier, making a dull explosion. Although it shook the wind pressure, it was still difficult to break through.
Naruto’s body relied on the explosive power of the Nine-Tails’ chakra to force its way forward against the wind pressure, but was eventually blown away by the stronger recoil force, falling to the ground like a kite with a broken string, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth and a sharp pain in his chest.
“hateful!”
“Amaterasu!”
On the other side, the three magatama in Sasuke’s eyes were spinning rapidly, and the pale purple ribs of Susanoo appeared instantly to protect himself.
Tears of blood flowed from his eyes, and two dark, undying flames appeared out of nowhere, shooting towards Danzo and the energy cannon in the sky respectively.
But whether it was the chaotic and violent chakra storm around Danzo, or the energy field around the energy cannon that was so huge that it distorted space, they all had amazing resistance to Amaterasu!
Although the black flame was successfully attached and burned tenaciously like a maggot on the tarsal bone, the twisted chaotic wind pressure around Danzo’s body that seemed to repel all life, and the destructive energy field at the core of the energy cannon that was so huge that it almost formed its own law, were all madly consuming and repelling the power of the black flame, causing its burning speed to be far slower than normal, and temporarily unable to touch its core and cause a fatal threat.
Despite this, the continued burning and energy consumption still had a certain impact on the stability of Danzo and the energy core.
“Medical team! Quick! Over here!”
In the relatively safe area on the ground, Sakura suppressed her fear and loudly directed the medical ninjas to treat the wounded who were continuously sent down from the front line.
At the same time, she was holding up a military telescope, staring intently at the battle in the sky, her pink fists clenched white, anxiously trying to find the flaws of Danzo or the energy cannon.
“You must hold on…Lin Feng! Naruto! Sasuke-kun! Kakashi-sensei!”
High in the sky, Lin Feng kept dodging Danzo’s increasingly violent attacks, while at the same time using all his strength to activate [Breath of the Wind].
In his perception, Danzo’s condition was extremely bad.
That huge amount of chakra was extremely unstable, like a balloon that was forcibly inflated. While it was madly absorbing external energy, this force was also madly eroding his own body and mind.
He is like a walking time bomb, which may completely lose control or explode at any time!
“Elder Danzo!” Lin Feng dodged while trying to communicate, “Stop now! This power is not something you can control! It will destroy you! And it will destroy Konoha!”
But at this moment, Danzo had already been consumed by the desire for power and madness, and was no longer able to listen to any words.
In response to Lin Feng, there were even more violent wind blades and chakra attacks!
“Shut up, kid! Once I absorb this ultimate power, the entire ninja world will prostrate itself at my feet!”
Ineffective communication!
Lin Feng’s eyes flashed, and he realized that he must not let Danzo continue like this!
Otherwise, this guy would explode before the energy cannon was fired, or completely turn into a monster that only knew how to destroy, and the damage caused would be even greater!
He must be stopped from absorbing further energy!
Lin Feng changed his strategy instantly.
He stopped attacking the energy cannon in vain and focused all his energy on harassing Danzo!
[Prediction of the wind trail]!
His figure became more erratic, and he always managed to narrowly avoid Danzo’s attack just before it landed.
At the same time, he quickly formed seals with his hands.
Countless fine, sharp wind blades with a faint black aura appeared out of thin air, flying around Danzo like a school of fish, constantly cutting the invisible energy connection between him and the sky energy cannon!
Although these wind blades containing the power of [Black Feather] caused limited direct damage to Danzo’s twisted and tough body, every time they passed through the void between him and the energy cannon, they brought up a series of tiny energy sparks and twisted ripples, as if cutting some invisible energy threads, making the process of him absorbing energy obviously intermittent and extremely unstable!
“Annoying flies!!!”
Sure enough, this kind of continuous harassment, which was like scraping, completely enraged the already manic Danzo.
He temporarily gave up pulling the energy cannon, turned around suddenly, and his single eye and the Sharingan on his arm simultaneously burst out with terrifying red light, locking onto Lin Feng!
“I’ll kill you first!!”
Danzo opened his mouth and spit out a [Vacuum Ball] that was larger and more solid than any previous one. It whizzed out and slammed towards Lin Feng with destructive force!
Lin Feng’s pupils shrank sharply, and the [Wind Feather Wings] behind him burst out with the strongest thrust, trying to make an extreme evasive move!
He was still a little slow after all!
The Vacuum Jade flew past the edge of his body, and the destructive energy storm contained in it instantly tore apart nearly half of his right [Wind Feather Wings]!
The light of the blue-black energy wings dimmed rapidly, and the structure collapsed. The piercing pain accompanied by the backlash of energy rushed straight into the mind!
Lin Feng groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood. His body staggered violently in the air, and the control of the right wing became extremely heavy and difficult.
And at the moment when they were fighting, the world-destroying energy cannon in the sky did not slow down at all because of Danzo’s interference.
On the contrary, as the energy from the earth veins continued to be injected, its size became even larger, and the black and purple light of destruction at the core became even more intense!
A heavy, desperate shadow loomed over the hearts of every survivor of Konoha like a physical entity.
Destruction is at hand!
Chapter 48: Sound Ninja Raid and Misfortune (Old Version)
Just as Lin Feng and Danzo were fighting for their lives in the sky, the situation on the battlefield below suddenly changed!
“Puff!”
“ah!”
Several Konoha ninjas who were holding the defense line suddenly screamed as their chests were pierced by pitch-black kunai!
At some point, a group of ninjas wearing forehead protectors with strange tuning fork marks appeared on the flank of the battlefield like ghosts!
They attacked ruthlessly and coordinated well, specifically attacking the weak links in Konoha’s defenses that were exposed in the previous fierce battles, forming a pincer attack with the Black Feather Organization’s offensive, instantly making the already precarious defense line even worse!
“Otonin?!”
Kakashi had just steadied himself when he caught a glimpse of the sudden change below from the corner of his eye and his heart skipped a beat!
A familiar feeling of chakra that was cold, slippery, and carried a strong malice was looming!
It’s Orochimaru!
That traitor!
He really got involved!
Kakashi’s heart sank, but when he glanced across the battlefield, he found no trace of Orochimaru himself.
At the edge of the battlefield, in a shadow corner formed by a collapsed building.
Yakushi Kabuto pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting the destructive light of the energy cannon core in the distance, and a smile of wisdom appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He had his hands in his pockets, seemingly relaxed, but there were imperceptible chakra threads connecting his fingertips to the ground. Through some secret command technique, he remotely controlled the suddenly appearing Sound Ninja to disrupt the battle.
His eyes never left the sky.
The life and death of Konoha?
The success or failure of the Black Feather Organization?
He doesn’t care at all!
What he cared about was this unprecedented chaos itself! It was the energy in the sky that was so huge that it could rewrite the rules! It was also the special existence that still stubbornly supported under the attack of violent energy and the top madman of the shadow level – Lin Feng!
What perfect experimental material, what an interesting “container”!
High in the sky, Lin Feng was trying his best to control the broken [Wind Feather Wings] to avoid Danzo’s pursuit. During the battle, his [Black Feather Sensing], which was greatly enhanced due to the fusion of black feather energy, suddenly caught a trace of extremely obscure but cold chakra!
It’s the guy with the glasses!
Why is he here too?!
Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat and a chill ran down his spine.
Orochimaru’s men are here too!
This situation was ten thousand times more chaotic than he had imagined!
“Little devil! Don’t run!!!”
Danzo has been attacking without success for a long time, and seeing that the energy cannon in the sky is about to be condensed, the anxiety and rage in his heart erupt like a volcano!
The black veins in his body suddenly began to move faster and began to emit an ominous dark red light!
The blood vessels under the skin burst, and the whole person was like a blood bag that was about to burst!
“Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!”
Danzo suddenly looked up to the sky and let out a roar that was totally unlike anything a human could roar!
The bandage wrapped around his right arm could no longer withstand the impact of the violent energy inside, and it exploded with a loud bang!
What was revealed was a hideous arm that made all witnesses’ scalps tingle and their stomachs churn!
That’s not a human arm at all!
The twisted muscle tissue appears a strange grayish-white color, which is extremely similar to the characteristics of the Wood Release Cells of the first Hokage, Hashirama!
The surface of the arm was not smooth skin, but was densely packed with more than a dozen scarlet three-magatama Sharingan as if embedded in it!
These Sharingans were spinning randomly, emitting an evil red light!
What’s even more terrifying is that between the flesh and blood of this arm and the Sharingan, there is a thick, ominous black feather energy entangled, and the three are forcibly fused together in an extremely unstable and extremely evil way!
The moment this arm appeared, a terrifying suction force several times stronger than before suddenly erupted!
It was no longer satisfied with absorbing Danzo’s own chakra or scattered energy, but like a black hole, it began to pull the world-destroying energy cannon that was about to take shape in the sky more frantically and violently!
Sizzle, sizzle——!
The surrounding space began to distort due to this brutal suction force, and it groaned as if it could not bear the heavy burden!
The core of the energy cannon was subjected to unprecedented strong interference, and spider-web-like fine cracks appeared on the originally stable energy shell!
The huge amount of energy became extremely unstable, with a dull roar coming from inside, and it seemed that it might get out of control at any time and explode prematurely!
“Oh? Are you losing control? This won’t do…”
In the shadow corner, Yakushi Kabuto’s eyes flashed with brilliance.
He didn’t want this precious energy to be wasted.
His fingertips moved imperceptibly, and an extremely subtle chakra fluctuation mixed with a special sound wave frequency spread out silently, accurately covering Danzo in the sky.
Area-wide illusion: sonic interference!
This illusion does not seek complete control. Given Danzo’s current confused mental state and huge chakra, it is difficult to completely control it.
But Dou’s purpose is just excitement!
It is to magnify a certain obsession in his heart!
Sure enough, under the influence of the sonic illusion, Danzo’s already confused mind became even more manic, but his crazy attention was inexplicably diverted from the core of the energy cannon and turned to Lin Feng not far away!
The unique, pure and powerful wind-attribute chakra on Lin Feng, and the energy aura that also came from Hei Yu but seemed to be more “pure”, posed a fatal temptation to Danzo at this moment!
That is a desire that comes from the instinct of power!
Devour him!
Take away his power!
You can become stronger!
You can perfectly control this ultimate energy!
Danzo’s only remaining scarlet eye and the dozen or so evilly rotating Sharingans on his arms instantly locked onto Lin Feng at the same time!
The greed and murderous intent in his eyes almost became reality!
“Little brat…your power…your body…are all mine!!!”
He let out an indistinct roar, the sound was as harsh and unpleasant as the friction of metal!
The next second, Danzo made a move that no one expected!
He actually gave up directly absorbing the sky energy cannon!
Then he kicked the air violently, carrying with him a portion of the chaotic earth vein energy that he had just forcibly pulled from the energy cannon, and the whole person slammed into Lin Feng like a meteorite burning with black and purple evil flames!
He has to get rid of this troublesome “fly” first!
He also wanted to devour the coveted [Wind Core] and [Black Feather Energy] in Lin Feng’s body!
“Lin Feng!!!”
“careful!!!”
Kakashi, Naruto, and Sasuke all had their eyes bloodshot when they saw this scene!
Kakashi’s Raikiri condenses again!
Naruto’s Rasengan blasted out like it was free!
Sasuke’s Susanoo arm swung out violently!
The three of them simultaneously launched their strongest long-range attacks, trying to intercept this devastating collision!
However, at this moment, Danzo was surrounded by a chaotic energy storm that was peeled off from the energy cannon, forming an indestructible barrier!
The attacks of the three people hit it, like a stone sinking into the sea, and were instantly shattered and bounced away by the violent energy!
It can’t be shaken at all!
Lin Feng looked at the hideous figure and destructive energy that was rapidly enlarging and filling his entire field of vision, and he felt that the blood in his body was about to freeze!
He was locked in place by that huge will and the energy of countless Sharingans, with no way to escape!
The unprecedented sense of crisis of death completely submerged him like an icy tide!
In my mind, the system alarm sounded no longer a “beeping” sound, but directly turned into a deafening long beep!
The danger level instantly soared to the peak!
Chapter 49: Desperate Fusion Wind God Transformation (Old Version)
The shadow of death loomed, so heavy that it almost solidified.
Danzo’s face, which was so distorted that it looked inhuman, and the destructive energy surrounding him that was enough to tear the sky apart, instantly filled Lin Feng’s entire field of vision, and the mixed smell of decay and madness rushed straight into his mouth and nose.
My brain buzzed and went completely blank.
Escape? The thought was extinguished as soon as it came to mind. Where to escape to?
An invisible but powerful aura locked him tightly, as if a huge rock weighing down his body. Not to mention moving, even mobilizing a trace of chakra became extremely difficult. There were dead ends in all directions.
The instinct for survival, like a trapped beast forced to the end of a cliff, was squeezed to the limit at this moment!
[Warning! Warning! Ultra-high concentration of alien energy erosion detected! The intensity exceeds the threshold! ][The Black Feather Purification progress bar fluctuates violently! On the verge of failure! ][Purification rate: 1.7%/second][Erosion rate: 89.9%/second! ][Warning! The main energy structure is about to collapse! Estimated remaining time: 0.3 seconds! ]The system interface flashed a dazzling blood-red alarm in his mind. The cold numbers were like a death knell, and every beat was like a heavy hammer hitting Lin Feng’s consciousness that was about to collapse. The purification progress bar that kept climbing and then collapsed in an instant seemed so ridiculous and powerless.
Purification? What could he use to purify? This energy, which surged like a flood, mixed with Danzo’s greedy will and the violent leylines of the earth, was simply going to crush him into dust from his cells to his soul!
At the last moment when his consciousness was about to be completely swallowed by the boundless darkness—
Deep in Lin Feng’s Dantian, the [Wind Core] that had been rotating steadily and existed like the eye of the wind, suddenly trembled violently without any warning! Then, an unprecedented brilliant green light burst out!
It didn’t reject! It didn’t try to purify or resist like before!
Instead, it was like a gluttonous beast that had been hungry for billions of years, like a dying traveler in the desert finally smelling the moisture of an oasis, or like a homeless orphan who suddenly found his blood-related relatives!
It opened its invisible “big mouth” proactively, even fanatically and greedily, and fiercely rushed towards the violent black feather energy that was pouring into its body, as well as the more primitive and domineering chaotic earth vein wind energy that penetrated from Danzo’s attack!
It’s not purification! It’s not suppression!
It is fusion! It is devouring! It is a deeper desire and resonance that comes from the source of energy!
The [Wind Core] seemed to be singing with excitement! It had found a “nutrient” that was wilder, more powerful, and of the same origin as itself, but completely different!
It began to frantically guide, absorb, and transform this terrifying force that was enough to destroy a shadow-level powerhouse in an instant at an almost uncontrollable speed!
The pain that could not be described in words was like billions of red-hot steel needles that instantly pierced through every inch of Lin Feng’s flesh and blood, and every nerve!
The body seemed to be thrown into a high-speed meat grinder alive, every muscle was torn, every bone was broken with a whine! The soul seemed to be torn and kneaded by countless cold and rough hands!
The meridians were broken one by one, making subtle but dense explosions! The bones groaned under the impact of the terrifying energy, and even fine cracks appeared!
But in the next second after the break, a new energy that was more powerful, wilder, and carried the breath of a primitive storm rushed out like a volcanic eruption!
This energy showed a strange state of a mixture of blue, black, and gold, like the hottest magma, washing over his limbs and bones! The broken meridians were violently widened and reshaped under the forceful washing of this energy, becoming more tenacious and broad!
The broken bones made crackling sounds, and were unexpectedly replaced and reinforced by an energy structure that was glowing with a faint luster!
Destruction and rebirth, in an almost cruel way, reached an unprecedented strange balance in Lin Feng’s body!
The already dilapidated [Wind Feather Wings] behind him were also undergoing a drastic transformation visible to the naked eye in this extreme pain and rebirth!
The energy feathers that were originally intertwined with blue and black seemed to be re-carved by an invisible chisel, and the edges began to be rendered with a faint, pure and majestic golden halo!
That is the unique color of high-level earth vein wind energy! It carries the power of nature, sacredness, and contains unparalleled sharpness and cutting feeling!
[System prompt: Special energy resonance detected! The subject has a deep interaction with the high-level energy source! ][The fusion degree of the wind core and black feather energy has exceeded the critical point! It is rapidly increasing! ][Current fusion degree: 45%! ][System prompt: The main body successfully absorbed and converted some high-level earth vein wind energy! The energy structure has undergone a qualitative change! ][Passive skill [Breath of Wind] has completed super-level evolution! ][Congratulations to the host, [Breath of the Wind] has evolved into [Breath of the Wind God]! ][【Wind God Breathing】: The perception, affinity, and control of wind elements are improved by an epic leap!

It was almost the same moment when the system prompt sounded in my mind.
“Hehehehe! Die, little devil! Your strength! Your body! They will become the cornerstone for me to reach the top!”
Danzo’s face, covered with bloodshot and madly spinning Sharingan, was already within reach! Less than half a meter away from Lin Feng’s nose! His twisted smile was filled with ecstasy and undisguised cruelty, as if he had already seen the scene of Lin Feng being completely devoured and absorbed by him!
The originally pure black pupils were now replaced by a deep and brilliant azure-gold color! A cyan light flowed in the depths of the left pupil, as if it contained an endless storm; and a domineering golden arc jumped on the edge of the right pupil! The eyes were cold and sharp, with a hint of indifference that looked down on the world!
It was like the eye of a sleeping storm suddenly opening up! It was like the wrath of a god in charge of heavenly punishment raining down!
A terrifying aura that was countless times stronger than before, more condensed, and even carried a hint of indescribable sacred majesty, erupted like a volcano that had been dormant for thousands of years!
No retreat!
Counterattack!
The newly transformed [Wind Feather Wings] behind him, which were dyed with brilliant golden edges, suddenly fluttered! Although the shape was still broken, and the edges of the wings were even emitting energy light, it burst out with unimaginable terrifying thrust! The air made a violent explosion!
Lin Feng’s figure did not retreat but advanced, turning into a blurry cyan-gold stream of light, like a comet going against the trend, and took the initiative to face the “meteorite” that was hitting the sky and destroying the world – Danzo head-on!
His hands flew rapidly in front of his chest, so fast that only a shadow remained! He formed a seal that he had never learned or practiced before, but seemed to have been engraved in the depths of his soul and was extremely familiar with!
This is the body’s instinct! It is the guidance of the law perception brought by [Wind God Breathing]! It is the deepest understanding and application of the wind element!
“Wind Escape…”
Lin Feng let out a low roar from his throat that seemed to have moved all the winds between heaven and earth. His voice was no longer childish, but instead carried an ancient and majestic charm!
“The Wind-God-Roars!!!”
A torrent of energy that was highly condensed and shone with a dazzling azure-gold color, which could not be defined by the existing ninjutsu system, suddenly burst out from his mouth!
The volume of this torrent is not particularly large, only as thick as a bucket, but the energy contained within it is condensed to the extreme!
You can clearly see the pure blue color of the [Wind Core], the deep and ominous black color of the [Black Feather Energy], and the domineering and majestic gold color of the [Earth Wind Energy]!
The three originally different and even conflicting forces were now perfectly integrated in an extremely mysterious way, spinning at high speed, forming a beam of destructive light that seemed to tear apart space and annihilate everything! It exuded a terrifying aura that went beyond the scope of ordinary ninjutsu and carried the charm of the law!
On one side, Danzo rushed forward with all his evil power and chaotic earth energy at stake, like a disaster star out of control!
On one side, Lin Feng achieved nirvana and breakthrough in the desperate situation of life and death, integrating three top powers and exerting all his strength to launch a wind god attack that contained the embryonic form of the law! It was like the thunder of judgment!
Two extreme forces representing destruction and rebirth, in the sky above Konoha Village, under the gazes of countless pairs of eyes below that were either horrified, worried, fearful, or fanatical, without any fancy moves – collided with a loud bang!
There was no earth-shattering noise as expected.
At the center of the collision, there was a strange, heart-pounding moment of absolute silence! It was as if even the sound was annihilated by the terrifying energy!
Then, there was an indescribable burst of light that was strong enough to instantly blind an ordinary person! The light was so pure and violent, as if a supernova exploded at close range!
The extremely terrifying energy shock wave, centered on the collision point, swept wildly in all directions like an invisible yet substantial tsunami!
Wherever the shock wave passed, the air was torn apart, emitting a sharp whine! The ninjas watching the battle below, whether they were from Konoha, the Black Feather Organization, or the Sound Ninja, had no time to react before they were violently blown away by this overwhelming force! Like countless fallen leaves in a violent storm, they were thrown into the distance with screams, and their lives and deaths were unknown!
The center of impact.
Lin Feng’s figure was like being hit head-on by a battering ram, and he flew backwards like a cannonball, leaving a long, glaring blood line in the air. Blood gushed out of his mouth like a fountain, his face turned pale as paper in an instant, and his breath became extremely weak.
But his eyes, burning with a cyan-gold flame, were still incredibly sharp! They were filled with the relief of surviving the catastrophe, as well as the cold murderous intent towards the enemy that he did not conceal! He survived!
Opposite him, the arrogant and determined Danzo—
“Aaaaaaaa——!!! No!! This is impossible!!!”
He let out a shrill howl that was not like a human voice, full of pain, horror and disbelief!
His hideous arm, which was strangely fused with Hashirama’s cells and Kuroba’s energy and carried all his ambitions, was now suffering from unimaginable energy backlash!
Especially those dozen or so Sharingan that were originally rotating evilly and emitting ominous red light, became as fragile as ripe grapes under the impact of this energy that contained a trace of the embryonic form of the law of wind!
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
As if being cut by an invisible blade, or as if excessive energy was accumulated inside, these Sharingans exploded one after another! Blood, flesh, and twisted energy splashed everywhere like fireworks, dyeing half of Danzo’s body blood red!
Chapter 50: Burning the Wind Feathers and Shaking the Heavenly Might (Old Version)
Lin Feng felt as if all his internal organs were out of place, a sweet and fishy taste surged in his throat, and his vision went dark.
[The Wind God’s Roar] drained away most of the energy he had just integrated and transformed, and the meridians in his body felt burning with pain, as if they were torn apart and forcefully glued together.
The golden glow on the edges of the newly transformed [Wind Feather Wings] behind him completely disappeared, and the blue-black energy feathers became sparse and dim, like a candle in the wind, swaying.
This attack almost exhausted all his strength, but it also successfully blocked Danzo’s devastating impact.
“Hmm…Hmm…Uh…”
On the other side, Danzo’s condition was even more miserable.
The mutated arm that carried all his ambitions was severely damaged by the embryonic form of the law contained in [Wind God’s Roar]. The pain of more than a dozen Sharingans exploding made him gasp in a way that was not human.
But he is not dead!
Not only was he not dead, but his remaining single eye and the few intact Sharingans on his arms burst out with purer and more intense madness!
The severe pain not only did not make him retreat, but instead stimulated his ferocity!
The tangled black veins in his body were like living venomous snakes, wriggling even more violently, greedily absorbing the energy dissipated in the air, trying to repair his injuries and maintain his shaky peak shadow-level strength.
The severe injury to his arm caused him to temporarily lose the ability to forcibly absorb the core of the energy cannon, but the old guy obviously did not intend to give up!
Without Danzo’s forceful pulling and interference, the energy fluctuations at the core of the **world-destroying energy cannon** that was suspended in the sky like an ominous sun began to stabilize again.
But, stability also means… cohesion is about to be completed!
The light inside the core has become extremely hot, the destructive energy is rolling like boiling magma, and black and purple arcs are jumping wildly on the surface!
The next second, it will be launched!
[Warning! S+ level emergency mission: World destruction crisis: Sign of metamorphosis, remaining time: 1 minute! ]The cold system prompt sound exploded in Lin Feng’s mind, like a death warrant.
“How are you?!”
Kakashi, Naruto, and Sasuke endured the internal injuries caused by the shock wave and rushed to Lin Feng as soon as possible, protecting him in the middle.
Kakashi’s face was extremely solemn, his Sharingan fixed on the core of the energy cannon and Danzo who was struggling to survive below.
Naruto looked at Lin Feng’s pale face and weak breath, and his eyes turned red with anxiety.
Sasuke’s three-magatama Sharingan spun rapidly as he analyzed the situation. He clenched his fists, his nails digging deeply into his palms.
Lin Feng looked over his companion’s shoulder and looked down.
Although the Hokage Rock, which symbolized Konoha’s will and glory, had escaped the direct bombardment of the energy cannon, it was already covered with cracks and looked dilapidated from the previous battles and shock waves.
Countless Konoha ninjas and civilians were looking up from the ruins, looking at the energy core in the sky that was about to bring down the world-destroying punishment, and looking at their last barrier with eyes filled with a mixture of fear, despair and a hint of expectation.
Can’t let it launch!
Absolutely not!
An extremely crazy, almost self-destructive thought grew and spread like weeds in Lin Feng’s heart!
He suddenly pushed away Naruto who tried to support him, his voice was hoarse due to weakness, but with unquestionable determination:
“Teacher Kakashi! Naruto! Sasuke! Take everyone who can and evacuate immediately! The farther the better!”
“Energy cannon… leave it to me!”
“What nonsense are you talking about! Lin Feng!” Naruto widened his eyes and grabbed his arm, “If we’re going to leave, we’re going to leave together! If we’re going to die, we’re going to die together!”
“Shut up! Naruto!” Kakashi growled, his voice more severe than ever before, but his eyes were also full of struggle and pain, “Lin Feng, what do you want to do?!”
“No time to explain!”
Lin Feng suddenly broke free from Naruto’s hand, took a deep breath, and forced out the last bit of strength in his body.
The pair of broken [Wind Feather Wings] behind him burst out with the final glow, like a burning meteor!
“Walk!!!”
He roared out the last word with all his strength, and his whole body turned into a blurry blue-black trajectory. He no longer paid attention to Danzo below, and resolutely rushed towards the core of the energy cannon that exuded the breath of death at a speed beyond the limit of vision!
His plan was simple, and crazy.
Utilizing the [Wind God Breathing] that he had just comprehended to gain a super strong sense of the flow of wind elements, and utilizing the special energy properties in his body that combined the three powers of wind core, black feather, and earth veins!
To guide! Even to absorb!
Try to lead this huge energy that is enough to destroy Konoha to a deserted place, or… use your own body as a container to forcibly absorb and dilute it!
This is truly a moth to a flame!
This is a plan that will take a life or death! No, even a “life” might be a luxury!
The success rate is very slim!
If he fails, he will be the first person to be completely evaporated by the core of the energy cannon, leaving not even a trace of ash!
“Lin Feng——!!!”
Naruto looked at the back that was rushing towards destruction without hesitation, and let out a heart-wrenching roar. The golden Nine-Tails chakra surged out uncontrollably, and he was determined to chase after it at all costs!
“Come back! Naruto!”
Kakashi’s arms were knotted with muscles, and he mobilized every bit of chakra in his body, almost using the strength of suppressing an S-rank rebel ninja, to barely lock up Naruto, who was bursting with ominous golden chakra and had astonishing power. His arms even felt slightly numb.
“Let me go! Teacher Kakashi! Let me go! I want to help him!” Naruto struggled frantically, tears mixed with sweat sliding down his cheeks.
“Believe in him!” Kakashi’s voice was hoarse, his eyes were filled with unspeakable pain, but more of it was a heavy determination, “All we can do now is believe in him!”
Sasuke stood there, not moving.
He just clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the effort.
The three-magatama Sharingan stared at Lin Feng’s tiny but resolute back without blinking, and the depths of his pupils contracted violently.
An unprecedented strong impact shook his frozen heart.
Is it shock? Is it reluctance? Or… a feeling of frustration called “powerlessness”?
Why…why is it like this again?
Why can I only look at other people’s backs?
Stronger power! I need stronger power!!! The desire to become stronger was like a poisonous snake, gnawing at his heart.
Just when Lin Feng was about to touch the violent energy field on the outer layer of the energy cannon core—
Something strange happened suddenly!
Below, Danzo, who everyone thought was at the end of his rope and could only wait for death, suddenly let out an ambiguous roar filled with resentment and unwillingness!
“Ugh—!!!”
Then, he made his final crazy move!
He actually used up his last bit of strength to tear off the broken arm from his body, which was severely damaged by [Wind God’s Roar], covered with cracks, and only had a few Sharingans left!
Then, like throwing a javelin, he threw it hard towards Lin Feng’s back!
The broken arm was spinning at high speed in the air, as if it had its own life!
The few remaining scarlet Sharingans were fixed on Lin Feng’s back, emitting a creepy malice!
Its target is not the energy cannon!
It’s Lin Feng!
It seemed to want to complete its master’s unfinished obsession at the last moment – either drag Lin Feng along with it to be swallowed by the energy cannon core and die together! Or… take advantage of the gap when Lin Feng’s spirit and energy are highly concentrated in front of him, drill into his body, and forcibly parasitize! Seize this perfect “container”!
There is a world-destroying energy cannon about to explode ahead!
Later, Danzo launched a dying counterattack that condensed all his life’s evil and madness!
Lin Feng, once again fell into a desperate situation…a desperate situation!
This time, it seems there is no way out!
Chapter 51: Feng Yin’s Arm Shatters the World-Destroying Star (Old Version)
Attack from front and back!
The Grim Reaper’s scythe fell from two directions at the same time!
Ahead is an energy core that is about to spew out a torrent of annihilation. The terrifying pressure is almost enough to collapse the space.
Behind him was a mutated arm that embodied Danzo’s entire life’s evil thoughts and madness, rushing towards him with the hatred of either mutual destruction or forced parasitism!
Lin Feng’s pupils suddenly shrank into needle tips!
The extraordinary perception of the flow of wind elements brought by [Wind God’s Breathing] was brought to its fullest at this moment!
He could even “see” the extremely chaotic and corrosive chakra tracks remaining on the broken arm, as well as the weak vitality of Hashirama’s cells and the instability of the black feather energy contained in the arm itself.
A thought that flashed through my mind in a flash, as crazy as walking on a tightrope!
hide?
No!
He bit the tip of his tongue hard, and the severe pain forced away the exhaustion that was on the verge of breaking point.
Facing the hideous broken arm whistling towards him, Lin Feng did not dodge, but instead turned sideways!
The pair of [Wind Feather Wings] on the back that were on the verge of breaking burst out with amazing resilience at the last moment, and the blue-black airflow on the edge of the wings rotated at high speed, like flexible vortex tentacles, instantly entangled and absorbed the chaotic chakra dissipated from the surface of the broken arm, instead of taking it head-on, but following its forward momentum, “guiding” it with softness to overcome hardness, and then exerting force to “roll” it out!
laugh–!
The blue-black wings accurately wrapped around the rapidly rotating broken arm, and the wingtips cleverly reduced some of the impact force, while taking advantage of the broken arm’s own terrifying inertia and the violent thrust brought by the chaotic chakra!
Lin Feng’s body drew an incredible arc in the air!
Use your arms as a guide!
Use your body as the axis!
Use wings as whips!
“Get over here!!!”
Lin Feng used up his last bit of strength and poured all his power into the [Wind Feather Wings]. He used this mutated arm, which was still twisting wildly and trying to drill into his body, as a detonator, a “shield” rushing towards destruction, and hurled it fiercely at the core of the world-destroying energy cannon in front of him that had condensed to the limit and was about to be fired!
quick!
Almost as fast as possible!
That broken arm, carrying Danzo’s final madness, was wrapped in the tenacious vitality of Hashirama’s cells, the evil power of the Sharingan, and the extremely unstable black feather energy. It was like an ice cube thrown into boiling oil, crashing into the relatively “pure” but equally violent earth vein energy and black feather forbidden force field at the core of the energy cannon!
Two completely different forces, both of which contain the essence of destruction, suddenly broke out into the most intense conflict!
It’s like pouring a bucket of ice water into a pot of boiling oil!
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
An indescribable piercing explosion sounded!
Inside the core of the energy cannon, the energy structure that was about to launch stably suddenly became unbalanced!
The life energy belonging to Hashirama’s cells and the pure earth energy repel and annihilate each other!
The unstable black feather energy remaining on the broken arm and the black feather forbidden energy in the core of the energy cannon seemed to have encountered a catalyst. They attracted and collided with each other crazily, and then – ran wild!
The core shell was instantly covered with spider-web-like cracks!
The black and purple arc of destruction was scurrying around like a poisonous snake out of control!
It’s going to explode!
BOOM!!! …
There was no expected beam of energy that penetrated the sky and earth.
What replaced it was something even more terrifying, even more chaotic, and even more unpredictable – an early explosion!
The “Death Star” suspended above Konoha was completely detonated by the dual stimulation of internal and external factors at the last second before the final launch!
The enormous energy that was enough to destroy everything did not condense into a beam, but turned into billions of frantic black and purple energy streams that tore through the sky, like blooming flowers of death, scattering wildly in all directions!
The sky is falling and the earth is splitting!
The sky is weeping blood!
Although the energy cannon did not hit the Hokage Rock directly, it prevented the core area from being instantly evaporated.
But the terrifying shock wave produced by the explosion, carrying with it energy turbulence that was enough to tear steel apart, was like an invisible giant’s palm, slamming heavily towards the Konoha Village below!
Building collapse!
The earth cracked!
Smoke and dust rise into the sky!
Lin Feng, who was closest to the core of the explosion, was the first to be hit!
puff–!!!
He didn’t even get to let out a scream before he was hit hard by the first wave of destructive aftermath spreading from the explosion core!
The pair of [Wind Feather Wings] that supported him to complete his final feat could not hold out for even a second under the violent energy impact. They shattered into pieces in an instant and turned into blue-black spots of light that floated all over the sky!
Lin Feng was like a rag doll torn to pieces by the strong wind, blood gushing out, his consciousness instantly sinking into endless darkness, and his body was like a meteorite that had lost all power, falling powerlessly towards the chaotic battlefield below.
Not sure whether he is alive or dead!
Below, Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura screamed miserably at the same time, and their eyes turned blood red in an instant!
The Nine-Tails Chakra in Naruto’s body exploded completely, and the golden figure rushed towards the direction where Lin Feng fell regardless of everything!
Kakashi followed closely behind, the anxiety in his Sharingan almost overflowing!
Sasuke’s three-magatama Sharingan was fixed on the falling figure, and his body was trembling slightly. Was it anger, powerlessness, or something else? !
Sakura was already in tears, but she forced herself not to cry out loud and immediately organized the nearby medical ninjas to prepare for first aid!
On the ground, the Black Feather Organization ninjas who were still attacking frantically were completely stunned by this sudden and shocking turn of events!
The energy cannon exploded prematurely? !
The plan…failed?!
The team leader, Falcon, had a face as pale as the bottom of a pot. Looking at the turbulent energy in the air and the falling Lin Feng, his eyes were filled with disbelief and frustration.
confusion!
Unprecedented chaos!
In a hidden corner, Kabuto Yakushi pushed up his glasses, and the lenses reflected the brilliant and deadly energy fireworks in the sky.
He looked at the energy core that exploded prematurely, then glanced at Lin Feng who was falling like a kite with a broken string, and a meaningful, inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Plans disrupted?
No, maybe… this is a more interesting development.
His figure blended silently into the shadows and disappeared.
High in the sky, Danzo threw out that shocking arm. The moment he saw his arm successfully hit the energy core and caused an explosion, his broken body could no longer hold on.
His crazed eyes gradually became empty, and his body quickly collapsed and disintegrated like a sand castle.
Before he was completely reduced to ashes, he took a last look at the ruined Konoha Village below, which was barely visible in the energy turbulence.
The look in his eyes was extremely complicated, showing resentment, resentment, and perhaps a hint of regret that he himself was not even aware of?
In the end, everything returns to nothingness.
All that was left was a pile of wreckage stained with sin and ambition.
Inside the Konoha Command Center.
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen saw through the telescope that the energy cannon disintegrated in the air and the shock wave of the explosion swept across the earth. He breathed a sigh of relief and avoided the worst outcome of the Hokage Rock being directly destroyed.
But when he saw Lin Feng’s blood-stained figure falling from the sky, his old face was filled with worry, pain, and deep guilt.
This child… is for Konoha…
The out-of-control energy turbulence wreaked havoc on the battlefield like a ruthless meat grinder.
No matter whether it was the ninjas from the Black Feather Organization or the Konoha ninjas who were fighting hard, once they were caught up in it, they would almost certainly be killed or injured. Screams and explosions rang out one after another, and the entire battlefield turned into a purgatory on earth.
Although Naruto Rock was not hit directly by the energy cannon by luck, it was still severely impacted by the subsequent shock waves and energy turbulence.
On the huge rock, the cracks became more numerous and deeper, like the deep wrinkles on an old man’s face.
The statues of successive Hokage, which symbolized Konoha’s unyielding will, became even more dilapidated in the wind and rain.
Although Konoha survived the desperate situation, it also suffered unprecedented damage, leaving indelible scars.
Chapter 52: Fengxi’s life hangs on a thread (old version)
Seeing that Lin Feng was about to turn into meat paste, tears of blood flowed from Kakashi’s left eye, and the kaleidoscope pattern spun wildly.
Ignoring the severe pain from overdrawing his pupil power, he forcibly activated [Divine Power]!
Target, Lin Feng’s falling trajectory!
The space began to distort, trying to swallow and transfer the figure.
However, the energy remaining in the core of the explosion was too violent.
The fabric of space is as unstable as boiling water.
The twisting force of [Divine Power] collided with the chaotic mixed energy field of earth veins and black feathers that permeated the air. It was like being stuck in a quagmire. The distortion of space was disturbed violently like never before and it only worked for a moment.
Lin Feng’s falling speed slowed down visibly for a few tenths of a second, and then accelerated again and crashed into the ground!
“Not enough!” Kakashi was extremely anxious. His pupil power was consumed so much that his vision began to blur.
“Ahhhhhh——Lin Feng!!!”
A thunderous roar resounded across the battlefield.
A dazzling red chakra burst out from Uzumaki Naruto’s body, and a ferocious tail shadow swung around.
One-tail Chakra Coat!
His speed instantly broke through the sound barrier and turned into a red meteor. At the moment before Lin Feng was about to make close contact with the earth, he dangerously stretched out several condensed chakra arms and caught him steadily in mid-air!
The moment he caught Lin Feng, Naruto felt a surge of extremely hot and chaotic energy on his arm, as if he was holding a branding iron that was about to explode!
The violent cyan-gold energy even caused his Nine-Tails Chakra arm to feel a slight pain, as if it was about to be corroded by it!
At the same time, the faint breath of life, like a candle in the wind, caused Naruto’s heart to stop.
“Sakura! Hurry!!” Naruto’s eyes were bloodshot, and he rushed to the ground holding Lin Feng, shouting anxiously.
Sakura and the medical team, who were already prepared, immediately gathered around.
Sakura’s hands were covered with emerald green medical chakra, and the moment they touched Lin Feng’s body, her face turned pale instantly.
“How…is this possible?!”
More than 80% of the meridians are broken!
Multiple internal organs were ruptured and bleeding!
The most terrifying thing is that Lin Feng’s body is covered with a thin layer of energy crystals that constantly flash with a strange cyan color!
These crystals were like living things, greedily absorbing Lin Feng’s remaining vitality. As soon as the medical chakra approached, they were crushed and assimilated!
Above the sky, the terrifying energy explosion has not completely subsided.
The chaotic energy turbulence gradually thinned out and turned into tiny drops of energy rain, dripping down.
“Sizzle…”
Energy raindrops fall on buildings, the ground, and even human bodies, making slight corrosive sounds and causing small-scale chakra disorders.
Those who are unlucky may even begin to experience subtle, ominous changes on the surface of their bodies!
“Woo—woo—”
All over Konoha Village, shrill alarms sounded one after another.
The surviving barrier squad ninjas tried their best to maintain the shaky defensive barrier, trying to keep this strange energy rain out.
But the barrier was already in tatters, and a large amount of energy rain still seeped in and sprinkled on every corner of the village.
“Give priority to treating the wounded! Especially the civilians and ninjas caught in the energy rain!” Inside the command post, the Third Hokage suppressed his grief and issued an order, “Block all contaminated areas! Organize personnel to clean up the battlefield and count the losses!”
His voice was filled with unprecedented fatigue.
Amid the chaos, the remnants of the Black Feather Organization remained unusually calm.
“Retreat!” Officer Falcon looked at the energy rain falling from the sky and Lin Feng being carried away, with a dark emotion flashing in his eyes. He gave a cold order, “Collect the energy crystal samples! Also… the bodies of those useless people in the root, especially those with arms, take them away!”
The remaining Black Feather Ninjas were like well-trained hyenas, quickly looting what they needed on the chaotic battlefield, and then quickly evacuated the area of ​​Konoha under the cover of energy rain and smoke.
Uchiha Sasuke stood where he was, looking at Lin Feng, who was carefully handed over to the medical team by Naruto and whose life or death was unknown. He then looked up at the energy aftermath in the sky that had not yet dissipated, and at the dilapidated Hokage Rock in the distance that seemed to be crying.
He silently clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms.
Is this… power?
The power of destruction, the power of protection, and… the power needed for revenge!
His desire for power reached an unprecedented peak at this moment.
Asuma Sarutobi led a team of Anbu ninjas and appeared near the entrance of the original Root base.
Asuma looked at the area that was completely destroyed by the explosion and only left ruins, his face solemn.
“Block this place, no one is allowed to approach!”
“Begin a thorough investigation. No clues can be left unchecked!”
Although Danzo is dead, the mess he left behind has just begun.
Konoha Hospital.
The atmosphere in the highest-level intensive care unit was suffocatingly depressing.
Lin Feng was rushed in urgently, with all kinds of life-sustaining tubes inserted into his body.
Sakura stood guard by his side, her eyes bloodshot, her palms continuously outputting weak but stable medical chakra, trying her best to maintain Lin Feng’s life fire that could be extinguished at any time.
she
Her hands were trembling slightly, and beads of sweat oozed from her forehead. All she could do was to slow down the erosion of the terrible energy crystals, but she couldn’t eradicate it.
Just when Lin Feng’s consciousness was sinking into endless darkness and the fire of life was about to be completely extinguished, the silent system interface in his mind suddenly burst into a dazzling red light!
[Warning: Host’s vital signs are less than 10%! On the verge of death! ][Warning: The fusion energy (earth wind energy + black feather forbidden technique) is out of control and is rapidly eroding the host’s life source! ][High concentration of alien energy contamination detected, purification difficulty determined: SSS level! Failed to start the purification program! ]A series of cold and rapid reminder sounds, like a countdown to death, frantically ringing the final alarm bell.
The next second, the system interface switched automatically.
[Initiate emergency plan: life support protocol! ][All available lottery points are being forcibly liquidated… Insufficient points… Activating backup energy… Forcibly overdrawing future credits…][Lottery points consumed: 1000! Warning: The system account is seriously overdrawn! ][Purchase and inject: Life support fluid (advanced)! ]A cold but transparent liquid full of vitality appeared out of nowhere in Lin Feng’s body and quickly flowed throughout his body.
The declining vital signs curve finally stopped at the bottom and even showed a slight recovery.
The cyan-gold energy crystals covering his body were temporarily suppressed in their erosion speed and no longer spread wildly. But the crisis was far from over.
Outside the intensive care unit was a dead silent corridor. Even further outside was the entire Konoha Village shrouded in the shadow of a disaster.
The smoke of the war had not yet dissipated, and the air was filled with dust, blood, and the faint fishy-sweet smell brought by the strange energy rain.
The streets are dilapidated, the buildings have collapsed, and countless families have been torn apart.
Although the most terrifying world-destroying energy cannon was stopped and Danzo’s rebellion was ended, the price paid was too heavy. A sad, heavy and confused atmosphere weighed on the hearts of every survivor.
The sky was still gloomy and sporadic energy rain was still falling, like tears from the sky, silently telling of the trauma brought about by this catastrophe.
Although the battle is over, the unknown impact of the energy embers and the enemies lurking in the dark indicate that Konoha’s suffering has just begun.
Chapter 53: The Wind God Whispers to Guide the Way of Life (Old Version)
In the specially designed medical cabin, Lin Feng lay quietly, like a sleeping specimen.
His body was filled with colorful tubes and wires connected to various life-sustaining instruments, which emitted a monotonous dripping sound.
The strange cyan-gold energy crystals on his body flickered like breathing, emitting heart-pounding fluctuations.
As soon as the emerald green medical chakra touched it, it was torn apart and dissipated as if it encountered an invisible cutting force field. It was then violently absorbed and assimilated by the flickering cyan-gold crystals. The vitality contained in it was unable to penetrate at all!
Conventional medical ninjutsu is almost completely ineffective here!
“No… absolutely no!” Sakura’s eyes were bloodshot and she bit her lips tightly as she looked at the faintly fluctuating life curve on the instrument. The medical director next to her also had a solemn expression. Days of sleepless research led them to a desperate conclusion: this energy erosion that combined earth veins, wind energy and some unknown evil force was beyond the cognition of the existing medical system!
“Conventional means are simply not capable of neutralizing it, let alone removing it!” The Minister of Medical Affairs rubbed his brows tiredly. “This energy… is too overbearing!”
The outside world was helpless, but Lin Feng’s consciousness did not disappear.
He sank into the deepest part of his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness.
This is no longer a peaceful lake, but a violent and extremely chaotic energy storm!
The cyan-gold hurricane and the inky-black turbulence collided and tore each other apart wildly, occasionally mixed with the turbid earth-yellow airflow belonging to the energy of the ownerless earth veins.
The three types of energy are completely different in nature, but all contain terrifying power. The most primitive and brutal confrontation and fusion are taking place here!
At the very center of the storm, there was a fist-sized cyan-gold core that exuded the pure spirit of wind. That was the essence that was condensed with great difficulty when [Wind God Breathing] was pushed to its limit while resisting the impact of energy cannons and absorbing the wind energy of the earth veins. It was the wind core!
It is struggling to resist…
Lin Feng’s soul was like a prisoner bound by a spider web, trapped tightly next to the core of wind.
Every time the energy collided and washed away, he felt a sharp pain as if his soul was torn apart!
Pain! Pain that penetrates the bone marrow! The soul seems to be cut by thousands of wind blades, and every inch of it is screaming and trembling!
But he didn’t completely collapse.
The [Wind God Breathing] instinct that comes from the depths of the soul is still operating autonomously like a firefly in the darkness.
It extremely slowly but tenaciously combed through the chaotic energy approaching the soul body, trying to guide it and bring it under the control of the Wind Core.
[Warning! Black Feather Energy Fusion Degree: 48%…][Warning! Black Feather Energy Fusion Degree: 49%…][Warning! Black Feather Energy Fusion Degree: 50%! ][Warning! The fusion degree has reached the critical point of 50%! Exceeding the safety threshold! The host’s consciousness is at a high risk of being completely assimilated and annihilated by the energy storm! ]The cold system notification sound kept flashing in the depths of my mind, like a death knell!
[Ding! It is detected that the host persists in running [Wind God Breathing] in extreme conditions, and the proficiency is greatly improved! ][[Wind God Breathing] passive effect enhanced! ][Acquired Characteristics: Energy Affinity (Wind/Feather) – Your absorption and conversion efficiency of wind attributes and energy related to “wings” (such as the special energy of black feather tissue) is slightly improved. ][Ding! Detected that the host soul and fusion energy have a deep resonance… Analyzing the resonance pattern…][Hint: The host has a very low probability of comprehending the embryonic form of bloodline limit or exclusive secret technique in this energy fusion storm! ]Just when his soul was about to be completely torn apart by the violent energy, Lin Feng suddenly “heard” a sound deep in his consciousness.
That is not the sound heard by the ears, but a deeper resonance.
Countless tiny sounds of the wind, like sighs, songs, and whispers, echoed in his soul.
That is the language of the wind, the most obvious manifestation of the law of wind!
Thanks to the extraordinary affinity granted by [Wind God’s Breathing], he could actually vaguely “understand” a little bit!
Just like a babbling baby, he understands the warmth in his mother’s call.
Subconsciously, Lin Feng tried, clumsily, to follow the “direction” and “rhythm” indicated by the whispering of the wind, to guide the energy in his body that was so violent that it could destroy the world.
Something wonderful happened!
The energy that was originally raging like a wild horse, under his insignificant guidance, actually became docile! Although it was just a drop in the bucket, the speed of erosion of the soul was indeed visibly slowed down!
There is a way!
Outside the intensive care unit, the corridor was silent.
Kakashi leaned against the wall, covering his still aching left eye with one hand, his eyes never leaving the door of the intensive care unit, where one of his most valued disciples was.
Naruto paced anxiously like a trapped animal, his golden hair messy and his fists clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound. He wanted to rush in several times, but was stopped by Kakashi’s eyes.
“Damn it! What happened to that guy Lin Feng?” Naruto growled, his voice full of worry and suppressed anger.
Sasuke stood in the shadow of the corner, his hands in his pockets and his head lowered, making it impossible to see his expression.
But his slightly trembling shoulders and tightly pursed lips revealed his inner unrest.
There were footsteps.
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen walked slowly over accompanied by Asuma.
Looking at the figure surrounded by instruments in the ICU, three generations of elderly faces were filled with complex emotions – relief, worry, but more of a heavy sense of guilt.
He turned around and whispered to his son beside him: “Asuma, he has sacrificed too much for the village.”
“No matter what the cost, we must save him!”
“Konoha…can’t afford to lose another hero like this.”
Asuma nodded silently, his eyes equally solemn.
Then, Shizune appeared at the end of the corridor. As the mainstay of Konoha’s current medical system, she was urgently invited for consultation.
??After the examination, Shizune’s face became solemn. “In this situation… perhaps only if Lady Tsunade comes in person can there be hope of finding a solution.” She whispered to herself, her brows full of worry.
While the outside world was racking its brains to find a solution, changes continued inside Lin Feng’s spiritual sea of ​​consciousness.
As his understanding of the Whisper of the Wind gradually deepened, although it was still vague, his efficiency in channeling energy was slowly improving.
The cyan-gold wind core that represented his own power, like a rising sun, began to radiate tremendous power, compressing and expelling the dark energy that represented destruction and ominousness bit by bit!
Although the black feather energy is still stubborn and the earth vein energy is turbid, the wind core finally begins to occupy a slight dominant position!
[Ding! It is detected that the host has begun to guide the fusion energy autonomously, and the risk of energy assimilation has been slightly reduced! ]【【Black Feather Purification】Mission status updated! 】
[New clue: Using the characteristics of [Wind God Breathing], with [Wind Core] as the main force, try to completely absorb, transform, or forcibly suppress [Black Feather Energy]. ][Warning: This process is extremely dangerous, and the energy balance may collapse at any time! But if successful, it may be possible to achieve the variation and purification of [Black Feather Energy], and use some of its characteristics for your own benefit! ]Chapter 54: Undercurrents in Konoha after the Disaster (Old Version)
Konoha Village was in ruins.
Broken walls and ruins replaced the once bustling streets, and the air was filled with dust, burnt matter, and a faintly fishy and sweet smell of energy rain.
The reconstruction work began with difficulty.
Temporary tents housed the villagers who had lost their homes, and the ninjas dragged their tired bodies to clear the rubble and carry the wounded.
The statistics of casualties were shocking, coldly announcing that this disaster caused by the inner demon was even more destructive than the Nine-Tails Rebellion! The cries of civilians and the wails of ninjas gathered into a heavy wail that enveloped the village.
Hokage Building, high-level conference room.
The atmosphere was so oppressive that it almost froze.
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in the first seat, his old face filled with fatigue and pain.
He spoke slowly, his voice hoarse, revealing part of the truth about how Danzo colluded with the mysterious organization “Black Feather”, conducted taboo human experiments, and eventually launched a rebellious attack.
Of course, he deliberately concealed the specific details about the arm with a large number of Sharingan transplanted on it and the energy cannon core – that was too horrifying, enough to shake the foundation of the entire village.
“Danzo…he actually did such a thing!”
Advisor Utatane Koharu’s face was livid, her fingers trembling slightly from the force. She suppressed her shock, and her voice was filled with a barely perceptible fear: “Danzo…how dare he! Hiruzen, the existence of the Root itself is outside the rules, and now it has caused a disaster. This is not only a dereliction of your duty, but also a trampling on the authority of the Hokage and the order of Konoha! What will other villages think of us?!”
Mitomon En slammed the table with a dull sound. He stared at the Sandai and said in a heavy tone, “The foundation of the village was almost shaken by internal pests! Hokage, you gave Danzo too much power and lacked effective supervision, which led to today’s disaster! You must give an explanation to the whole village!”
The shadow of power turmoil quietly spread in the conference room.
Sarutobi Hiruzen endured the accusation in silence, the tobacco in his pipe flickering.
He took a deep breath and exhaled thick smoke, but his eyes suddenly became sharp.
“Now is not the time to pursue responsibility!” His voice was not loud, but it was filled with unquestionable majesty. “I declare that from now on, the Root organization will be completely disbanded! All members will be taken over and investigated by the Anbu! No one is allowed to shield them!”
“At the same time, thoroughly investigate all secret bases and experimental projects related to Danzo, and show no leniency!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Sarutobi Asuma took a step forward and placed a stack of documents on the table.
“Hokage-sama, this is some of the information found in the ruins of the Root base.” He said in a low voice, “It is enough to prove that Danzo had a deal with the Black Feather Organization, and… evidence of conducting live experiments.”
The documents were circulated, and every page contained a record of heinous crimes.
The top brass’ faces turned pale and they clenched their fists, their anger towards Danzo reaching its peak.
On the other side of the village, the aftermath of the energy rain began to erupt on a large scale.
Konoha Hospital was already overcrowded.
Many civilians and ninjas who had been exposed to the energy rain experienced various strange physical conditions.
Some people’s chakra properties suddenly changed, their power surged but was difficult to control; some people’s body functions were disordered and they became weaker and weaker; in more serious cases, even subtle, inhuman deformations appeared on the surface of their bodies! Panic was spreading.
Shizue led the medical team in a state of panic.
“This kind of residual energy is too weird!” Shizune frowned as she looked at the medical reports one by one. “It can assimilate chakra and destroy cell structure. Conventional medical ninjutsu has little effect! We can only suppress it temporarily with sealing techniques, but it is only a temporary solution!”
“We must develop a drug that can neutralize or guide this energy as soon as possible!”
At the same time, outside Konoha.
A secret base somewhere.
The leader of the Black Feather Organization, “Falcon”, was roaring angrily at a broken crystal screen.
“Trash! A bunch of trash!”
The tragic situation of Konoha flashed on the screen, but what made him even more crazy was the complete failure of the mission!
The energy cannon was destroyed!
The carefully planned raid failed!
The most crucial thing is that the “Core of Wind”, which is the energy source and also carries some hope for the organization, was actually taken away by the kid named Lin Feng!
“Pass on my order!” Falcon’s eyes were filled with murderous intent, “Whatever the cost! Find that Lin Feng! Bring him back to me, or the energy in his body! Alive or dead… dig out his energy core!”
His orders terrified his subordinates, but there were also a few senior executives hiding in the shadows with flickering eyes, as if they had different thoughts about this disastrous defeat and Falcon’s command.
In the dark underground laboratory, Orochimaru licked his wet lips and looked at the information sent back by Kabuto Yakushi, his golden snake eyes flashing with an almost fanatical light.
“Oh hehe… the great power of the earth veins… the unique forbidden energy of Kuroba… can actually be initially integrated into the body of a Genin, and something like a ‘core’ was born?”
He laughed hoarsely and excitedly, “This conflict and balance of energy is simply a perfect creation! Lin Feng… huh? His body, or the way he controls this fusion of energy, may hide the secret of surpassing the bloodline limit, or even approaching the power of the ‘immortal’… It’s really a material that makes people unable to stop.”
He wrote Lin Feng’s name heavily on the title page of the research diary in scarlet ink.
Inside Konoha Village.
Kakashi Hatake temporarily put aside the task of teaching Team 7.
His former laziness was replaced by solemnity, and he devoted himself almost entirely to assisting the Anbu in clearing out the remaining Root forces and tracking down clues about the Black Feather Organization.
Lin Feng’s experience, Danzo’s betrayal, and the heavy damage to the village made him realize that some threats must be eradicated completely.
On the training ground.
Uzumaki Naruto was sweating profusely, using all his strength in every punch and every hand seal.
The cruelty of war and the life and death of his companions deeply shocked him.
“I must become stronger! Strong enough to protect Sakura, protect Sasuke, protect Kakashi-sensei, protect Lin Feng, protect everyone! Protect this village!” He roared in his heart, and practiced much harder than before.
In the corner, Uchiha Sasuke stood quietly, his black eyes as deep as the night, reflecting the faint light of the fire clearing the ruins in the distance.
He recalled the devastating energy cannon, the Sharingan spinning on Danzo’s disgusting arm, and Lin Feng’s determination to almost burn his life when he rushed towards the light column… Then he looked at the dilapidated home in front of him, even the Hokage Rock, which symbolized the strongest man in the village, was in ruins.
A cold feeling of powerlessness gripped him, and was immediately swallowed up by a hotter desire.
Power! Only absolute power can control everything and take revenge!
His disgust with the status quo, his hatred for Uchiha Itachi, and his unwillingness to accept his own weakness have never been so clear and firm.
He subconsciously looked at his empty left arm, then suddenly clenched his fist. His knuckles made a slight “cracking” sound due to the force and turned bluish.
After experiencing a catastrophe, Konoha Village seems to be trying to restore its former order.
However, beneath the ruins, undercurrents are surging.
The subtle power struggle within the top leadership, the enemies outside who are eyeing the situation covetously, and the aftereffects of energy pollution that are like a leech…all of these indicate that the real crisis may have just begun.
The Third Hokage stood beside the gap in the Hokage Rock, overlooking the busy and heavy village below, took a deep puff of cigarette, and felt exhausted.
The weather-beaten ship of Konoha is sailing in the stormy waves.
He urgently needs a strong and trustworthy new force to help him stabilize the situation and overcome difficulties.
His gaze involuntarily turned to the direction of Konoha Hospital and the young figure lying in the intensive care unit.
Chapter 55: A glimpse into energy fusion (old version)
Inside the specially designed medical cabin, the layer of cyan-gold crystals that seemed to be breathing and shimmering like living things suddenly dimmed.
Like the receding tide, or the melting frost and snow in winter, it shrank and disappeared beneath Lin Feng’s skin at a speed visible to the naked eye.
On the monitor, the life curve that was originally as flickering as a candle in the wind suddenly became steady and strong.
Drip…drip…drip…
The regular and steady sound of the electronic heartbeat resounded through the silent ward.
Lin Feng closed his eyes tightly, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.
Under the eyelids, the eyeballs moved restlessly, as if trying hard to escape from the endless darkness and struggling to return to the light.
Finally, after a slight spasm, his eyelids suddenly opened.
A breathtaking cyan-gold light, like lightning cutting through the night sky, suddenly bloomed in his eyes!
But the light only lasted for a moment before quickly fading away and finally disappearing into the depths of the dark pupils, as if it had never appeared.
“Lin…Lin Feng?”
Sakura, who was guarding the bedside almost all the time, was the first to notice the movement here.
Her face, which had been extremely haggard, suddenly burst into an expression of incredible ecstasy.
The voice trembled slightly with excitement, with a hint of tentativeness, a hint of caution, and even more with an irrepressible anticipation.
Lin Feng’s consciousness seemed to be struggling to emerge from the endless abyss of chaos.
At first there were only blurry lights and intermittent roars, as if separated by a thick curtain of water.
After a long time, the chaotic fragments of memory began to slowly piece together: the dazzling light of the energy cannon, Danzo’s distorted face, the tearing pain… He blinked his heavy eyelids with difficulty, and his vision gradually became clear from blurry.
What came into view was Sakura’s face, which was bloodshot but bright with surprise.
And the tears that welled up in her eyes, which she could no longer hold back.
“I…I am…”
Lin Feng’s voice was as hoarse as an old bellows, and every syllable was weak and dry.
He wanted to get up, but found that all the strength in his body seemed to have been drained away. He could only lie powerlessly in the medical cabin.
But an unprecedented wonderful feeling filled his perception.
Lightness.
Indescribably light.
It was as if the weight of the body disappeared, the soul was freed from its constraints, and a mysterious connection was established with the omnipresent air around it, and even the more distant wind.
[Wind God Breathing] began to operate autonomously without even his active control.
Strands of gentle natural energy, like soft caress, gathered from all directions, blended into his body, and nourished the damaged meridians and organs.
The feeling of weakness quickly faded away, replaced by an indescribable feeling of comfort and relaxation.
He tried to mobilize the chakra in his body.
With just a thought, overwhelming energy surged out from the depths of his dantian like a volcano erupting!
The amount of chakra has increased by several times compared to before he fell into a coma!
The nature seemed to have undergone a radical change as well. It was no longer the lightness that was familiar in the past, but instead had an indescribable sense of sharpness and violence, as if what was rushing in the body was not a stream but a howling hurricane!
What frightened him even more was that, deep within this power, there seemed to be a hint of cold and ominous aura lurking, which made him instinctively feel repelled and alert.
That is the smell of the remaining black feather energy.
“System?” Lin Feng muttered in his heart.
A familiar cold electronic sound immediately rang in my mind.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for waking up! ][Black Feather Energy Fusion Degree: 51% (temporarily stable)][Body repair rate: 70%][Skills: Breath of the Wind God (passive), Wind Style: Howl of the Wind God (incomplete, needs to be improved), Wind Feather Wings (broken, needs to be repaired/reshaped)]On the system interface, his current status is listed clearly and concisely.
Although the degree of fusion of the black feather energy still exceeded the safety line, it was at least temporarily stabilized.
The body is also slowly repairing.
There are two additional skills, but both have the suffixes of “incomplete” and “broken”, which are obviously affected by the energy conflict.
[Ding! [Black Feather Purification] Mission status updated! ][It is detected that a preliminary energy cycle has been formed in the host’s body, and the [Wind Core], [Black Feather Energy], and [Residual Earth Wind Energy] have temporarily reached a balance. ][Task objective updated: Please use the characteristics of [Wind God Breathing] to actively guide the energy of [Wind Core] to flush, assimilate or purify [Black Feather Energy]. ][Warning: This process is extremely dangerous, and the energy balance may collapse at any time! Please be careful! ]The familiar death warning appeared again, causing Lin Feng’s heartstrings, which had just relaxed, to tense up instantly.
But this time, there was a glimmer of hope in the system prompt – purify the black feather energy!
“Lin Feng! Are you awake!?”
The sound of Sakura crying with joy finally alarmed the others outside.
The door of the intensive care unit was suddenly opened, and Kakashi rushed in first, followed by Naruto, Sasuke, Asuma, and even the Third Hokage came in person.
Seeing that Lin Feng really opened his eyes, the depressing atmosphere in the ward was instantly broken.
Kakashi stood at the door. Although only one eye was exposed, the tense lines in his eyes obviously relaxed and he exhaled silently.
Naruto was so excited that he almost jumped up, his eyes were red, and he shouted “That’s great”.
Sasuke stood at the edge of the crowd, his eyes sweeping over Lin Feng sharply, as if assessing his current condition, but his clenched fists loosened a little imperceptibly.
The Third Hokage showed genuine relief on his face, and the heavy pressure of the past few days seemed to be relieved a little.
“Great! Lin Feng, you finally woke up!” Naruto was the first to pounce, and his golden head almost hit Lin Feng’s face, but Sakura quickly grabbed him by the collar and dragged him back.
“Stupid Naruto! Be careful not to run into Lin Feng!” Sakura scolded angrily. The tears at the corners of her eyes had not yet dried, but a bright smile had already appeared at the corners of her mouth.
Sasuke stood behind the crowd, staring at Lin Feng with his black eyes without blinking, his expression complicated and unintelligible.
Exploration, scrutiny, a subtle hint of competition, and a hint of real concern hidden beneath the cold appearance.
Various emotions intertwined together, making his eyes look particularly deep.
“Cough cough…” Lin Feng coughed weakly twice, signaling everyone to stay calm.
“I…I feel better.” He looked around, seeing familiar faces, and felt a warm feeling in his heart.
“I’m sorry to have made everyone worried.”
“It’s good that you’re okay, it’s good that you’re okay.” The Third Hokage came forward, a relieved smile appeared on his old face, he patted Lin Feng on the shoulder, and said in a gentle tone, “Kid, you did a great job, the village thanks you.”
Afterwards, amid everyone’s questioning, Lin Feng roughly recounted what happened in the last moments.
Of course, he concealed the core secrets of the system and Wind God Breathing, and only emphasized that at the critical moment, he used the power of the Wind Core to guide the energy in his body and barely resisted the attacks of Danzo and the energy cannon.
As for the more detailed process and the experience after the coma, it was vaguely glossed over.
Everyone was horrified by what they heard, especially when they heard that Lin Feng could find a way to guide energy and fight the enemy in such a desperate situation. They were amazed and praised him.
“It’s unbelievable that you can achieve this level.” Kakashi rarely showed admiration, and his one eye curved into a crescent shape, “You are worthy of being my favorite student.”
The Third Hokage once again expressed his gratitude and condolences to Lin Feng, and informed him that Danzo was dead and the Root had been disbanded.
But the Black Feather Organization is still a sword hanging over Konoha’s head, the sequelae of energy pollution are gradually emerging, and the situation in the village is still not optimistic.
Asuma found Lin Feng alone, walked to the corner of the ward, and asked in a low voice: “How did the infiltration mission go in the end?”
Lin Feng nodded slightly and said affirmatively: “The target has been cleared.”
When Asuma heard this, a complex look flashed in his eyes, which showed a sense of relief, but also a hint of heaviness and sadness.
“The chain of evidence… is not complete, but the result is enough.” He sighed and patted Lin Feng on the shoulder. “Thank you for your hard work, kid. This time… you suffered.”
Lin Feng shook his head and said nothing more.
Some things don’t need to be explained too clearly.
He simply raised his right hand and tried to concentrate his chakra.
Above the fingertips, a ray of blue-gold wind blade appeared out of thin air.
The wind blade was extremely unstable, sometimes solid, sometimes illusory, its edge jumping like a flame, making a slight buzzing sound as it cut through the air.
The power was far greater than before, but the control was extremely rough, as if it was not subject to his will.
Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly.
He clearly felt that the power in his body had indeed surged, but his control over this power was far from enough.
More importantly, the black feather energy in the body is still like a time bomb, which may explode out of control at any time.
The road to becoming stronger has just begun.
The threat of the Black Feather Organization, the hatred of the sacrifice of companions, and the hidden dangers of this power in the body…
Everything was like a heavy yoke pressing on his shoulders, but it also turned into a burning motivation.
He must master this power as soon as possible, complete the [Black Feather Purification], and find out the true purpose of the Black Feather Organization and the mastermind behind it.
For the dead boy, for himself, and for protecting this village that has gone through hardships but is still full of hope.
New challenges and unknown adventures are waiting for him ahead.
Chapter 56: Troubles after waking up (old version)
Lin Feng woke up!
This news was like a gust of wind, instantly sweeping through the Konoha high-level officials and the small circle of Team 7, causing quite a stir.
The third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, an old man who had experienced countless hardships, rushed to the hospital as soon as possible.
He looked at Lin Feng, who was lying on the hospital bed, with a pale face but clear eyes. A rare genuine smile appeared on his tired face.
“Just wake up, kid.”
He patted Lin Feng’s shoulder, his palm warm.
“You did a great job this time. The village… needs your strength.”
As the subject changed, Sandai’s eyes became deep, filled with lingering worry.
“But Konoha is now facing internal and external troubles, and the road to reconstruction is full of difficulties. Although Danzo is dead, the threat of the Black Feather Organization is still there, and the sequelae of the energy rain are beginning to appear… Lin Feng, recover as soon as possible, the village needs a new pillar.”
These words are full of earnestness and are both an affirmation and a heavy expectation.
Afterwards, Shizune brought medical ninjas to conduct a comprehensive and detailed examination of Lin Feng.
The instrument made a slight humming sound, and Jingyin’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and his expression became more and more solemn.
“How…how is this possible…”
She looked at the test results, muttering to herself, her eyes full of shock and confusion.
“The energy structure in his body… is too complicated! It’s a complete mess!”
Jingyin turned to Lin Feng, her tone more serious than ever before.
“Lin Feng, listen! The [Wind Core], the remaining [Black Feather Energy], and the violent [Earth Wind Energy] in your body have now reached an extremely fragile balance! It’s like… walking on a tightrope! A tightrope as thin as a hair!”
She took a deep breath and emphasized her tone.
“Remember, you must not have any violent chakra fluctuations now! You must not have any big ups and downs in your emotions! Otherwise, once the balance is broken and the energy goes out of control again… the consequences will be disastrous! It may even be worse than last time!”
The silent warning was like a bucket of ice water poured over his head, making Lin Feng’s mood, which had just relaxed, instantly become heavy.
He tried to get out of bed and move around.
The body feels unusually light, as if it were a feather. This is the benefit brought by [Wind God Breathing].
But the next second, his imbalance in control of power was exposed!
“Bang!”
He just wanted to take a step forward, but his body rushed out uncontrollably and almost hit his head on the opposite wall!
Fortunately, Kakashi was quick to catch him.
Lin Feng was still frightened and tried to pick up the water cup on the table.
As soon as his fingertips touched the wall of the cup, there was a crisp “crack” sound, and the sturdy glass cup was instantly covered with cracks, and was almost crushed by him!
“Hahaha! Lin Feng! You! Can’t you even walk anymore?”
When Naruto saw this scene, he burst into laughter without any hesitation, and tears were almost coming out of his eyes.
Sasuke next to him frowned and looked at Lin Feng’s clumsy movements with scrutiny and confusion in his eyes.
Lin Feng smiled bitterly, and tried to circulate his chakra in disbelief, wanting to perform the most basic Three Body Technique.
Seal!
Substitution technique!
“Whoosh—bang!”
He felt as if he was thrown out by a huge force. He spun several times in the air and fell awkwardly on the hospital bed, almost breaking through the bed!
Try the clone technique again!
When the smoke cleared, a person appeared next to him… His body was flashing with cyan-gold arcs, and his shape was extremely unstable, as if he would explode at any time!
The clone was still grinning at Lin Feng, looking unruly.
Finally, the transformation technique!
A flash of twisted light and shadow passed by, and Lin Feng turned into an indescribable, bizarre energy aggregate composed of violent energy! He couldn’t even maintain a human form!
“…”
There was deathly silence in the ward.
Naruto’s laughter also got caught in his throat.
[Warning: The host’s control over fusion energy is less than 5%! Please increase your control as soon as possible, otherwise there is a risk of energy backlash! ]The cold system prompt sounded in my mind, like a wake-up call.
Lin Feng’s face darkened completely.
The problem is more serious than he thought!
This surge of power is actually a double-edged sword! If you don’t use it properly, you will be the first to die!
“Kakashi-sensei…”
He looked at Kakashi, who had remained silent, and his voice sounded like a request for help.
“How can I…control this power?”
Kakashi’s expression was extremely solemn, and the one eye that was exposed was full of seriousness.
He shook his head.
“Lin Feng, the situation inside your body right now is something I have never seen or heard of. Conventional chakra control training methods, such as climbing trees and treading water, may not be very effective for you, and may even be… dangerous.”
He pondered for a moment and gave his suggestion.
“Perhaps the only way is to start from the most basic chakra form and property changes and practice again. Abandon previous experience, and most importantly… use your instinct of [Wind God Breathing] to ‘feel’ and ‘guide’ them, instead of using brute force to control them.”
“Feel…guide…” Lin Feng thought thoughtfully.
“Lin Feng! I will practice with you!”
Naruto jumped out immediately, patting his chest and speaking loudly.
“We supervise each other and become stronger together!”
Sasuke glanced at Lin Feng coldly, then looked at Naruto and snorted.
“Humph, I won’t be left behind by you.”
After saying that, he turned around and left the ward without looking back.
That lonely and proud figure reveals an even more determined determination to practice.
Sakura came over with a steaming bowl of specially prepared nutritious meal, a look of gentle concern on her face.
She also handed Lin Feng a thick notebook.
“These are the notes I made based on Shizune-senpai’s examination results and some of my own observations.”
Sakura said softly.
“It contains some analysis of the energy in your body, as well as… some conjectures on how to suppress energy conflicts… Although it may be immature, I hope it can help you.”
She looked at Lin Feng, her eyes full of encouragement.
“Come on, Lin Feng! You can do it!”
Looking at his companions’ reactions, Lin Feng felt a warm feeling in his heart, but it was also followed by even greater pressure.
The bright red danger warning of the [Black Feather Purification] mission was like a sword hanging over his head, constantly reminding him of the hidden crisis.
[The system mall has been refreshed! ][Energy Stabilizer (Small): Temporarily suppresses energy riots, the effect lasts for 1 hour. Price: 5000 lottery points. ][Chakra Control Experience (Wind Attribute/Fragments): Records some of the techniques for finely controlling wind attribute chakra. Price: 8,000 lottery points.]Looking at the expensive goods that appeared in the mall, Lin Feng felt a toothache.
Last time, in order to save his life, he used up and even overdrew his lottery points to buy [Life Support Fluid]. Now he is really penniless.
Must find a way to earn raffle points ASAP!
At the same time, this difficult rehabilitation practice must be started immediately!
The primary goal – to initially gain control over this dangerous and powerful force!
We must not let it become a wild horse that runs away from its reins!
Chapter 57: Wind God Whispers Initial Control (Old Version)
Konoha, Team 7’s exclusive training ground.
The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled spots of light.
Lin Feng stood in front of a sturdy tree, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.
Kakashi leaned against another tree trunk not far away, still holding the book “Intimacy Paradise” in his hand, but his eyes were looking through the pages, closely following Lin Feng’s every move.
“Let’s get started, Lin Feng.”
Kakashi’s voice was lazy, but it was full of unquestionable seriousness.
“Try the most basic chakra attachment and climb a tree.”
Lin Feng nodded, concentrated his mind, and tried to mobilize the chakra in his body.
As soon as the thought came to mind, the cyan-gold energy deep in his dantian rushed out wildly like a awakening beast!
He tried to direct it towards his feet.
“Sizzle—crack!”
Before he could lift his feet, the ground beneath his feet suddenly cracked into spider-web-like cracks!
An invisible and extremely sharp wind pressure spread out with his feet as the center!
The huge tree in front of them, which required two people to hug together, was instantly cut with several scratches deep enough to see the bone, and wood chips flew everywhere!
“Stop!”
Kakashi’s voice suddenly increased, and his figure flashed and appeared beside Lin Feng, pressing his shoulder.
“Your chakra is too violent, and it has a cutting property. If you keep going like this, the tree will be chopped into pieces before you can even climb up!”
Kakashi’s expression turned serious.
“Remember what I said, restrain! Guide! Don’t try to command it, feel it!”
Lin Feng’s forehead was covered with cold sweat, the feeling of being out of control just now still left him with lingering fears.
He closed his eyes, cleared his mind of all distractions, and concentrated on practicing [Wind God Breathing].
The flow of air around seemed to become clearly audible, with faint whispers in the wind, like some ancient melody.
He sank his consciousness into his body.
As [Wind God Breathing] was activated, he vaguely “saw” the three entangled forces in his body.
The cyan-gold [Wind Core] is like the eye of a rotating storm, forming the center of energy.
The inky black [Black Feather Energy] was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, clinging tightly to the edge of the core, emitting an ominous aura.
And deeper inside, there is the [earth wind energy] that is as thick and majestic as the earth, yet chaotic and disordered. They are like a backdrop, supporting this dangerous balance structure.
The three are entangled and influence each other, forming an extremely unstable cycle.
“Guide…feel…”
Lin Feng carefully extended a trace of his consciousness, trying to touch the cyan-gold energy at the outermost edge of the [Core of Wind].
It felt like putting a bridle on a runaway horse!
The energy was wild and unruly, full of a desire to destroy and cut. It would rebound violently at the slightest touch, trying to break free from his guidance.
Sweat slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the cracked ground.
Time passes by every second.
On the training ground, the only sounds were the rustling of leaves in the wind and Lin Feng’s heavy and suppressed breathing.
A few hours later.
Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of fatigue flashed across his eyes, but more of surprise!
He spread out his right palm.
A small ball of cyan chakra the size of a pigeon egg was quietly floating above his palm.
Although it was still flickering unsteadily, with tiny arcs of electricity bursting out from the edges from time to time, it was ultimately “restrained”!
This was the first time he successfully controlled this power after waking up!
[The host’s control over fusion energy has increased to 7%! ][Wind God Breathing] Proficiency is slightly improved.
The system prompt sound is like nature’s sound.
“Just restraining such a small ball has almost exhausted all my energy…” Lin Feng felt the double fatigue from both mind and body, but felt a little excited about this tiny progress.
“Oh oh oh! Lin Feng! It worked!”
Naruto shouted excitedly not far away.
This guy was practicing the Rasengan on the other side, sweating profusely, and the chakra ball in his hand flickered, extremely unstable.
Seeing Lin Feng’s progress, Naruto seemed to be energized and trained even harder.
With a dull thud, the chakra ball in Naruto’s hand exploded out of control, creating a medium-sized pit in front of him, making him covered in dirt.
Kakashi walked to Lin Feng and looked at the unstable cyan-gold chakra in his palm, his one eye full of surprise.
“I didn’t expect… that you could achieve the initial restraint so quickly.”
This progress far exceeded his expectations.
It seems that [Breath of the Wind God] is indeed the key to controlling this power.
Lin Feng also discovered that when he was practicing [Wind God Breathing], his efficiency in absorbing the surrounding natural energy was terrifyingly high.
These gentle natural energies poured into his body, not only alleviating the violent chakra, but also continuously repairing his damaged body.
On the system interface, the 70% repair rate is slowly increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He tried to change the form of the cyan chakra in his palm.
With a slight movement of his mind, the chakra began to twist and stretch, gradually condensing into the shape of a shuriken.
However, at the moment when the chakra shuriken took shape!
“Buzz—whoosh!”
It broke away from Lin Feng’s control and shot out suddenly like a high-speed rotating drill with a sharp and piercing sound of breaking through the air!
The speed is so fast that it is almost impossible to capture with the naked eye!
The wooden target used for practicing throwing techniques in the distance didn’t even have time to react before it was cut in half by the out-of-control chakra shuriken. The cut was as smooth as a mirror, and then the entire target shattered into pieces, turning into sawdust all over the sky!
Lin Feng and Naruto were stunned.
Kakashi walked forward, checked the remains of the target, and commented: “The power is amazing, even surpassing the conventional wind-style ninjutsu.”
“But…” He looked at Lin Feng, “The accuracy and stability are basically zero.”
“This kind of uncontrollable force, in actual combat, is likely to hurt you or… your companions before hurting the enemy.”
Kakashi’s words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the slight pride that had just ignited in Lin Feng’s heart.
He looked at his right hand which was still trembling slightly, and realized deeply that he still had a very long way to go.
“It seems that we need to use the characteristics of [Energy Affinity (Wind/Feather)] to gain a deeper understanding of these two energies.”
Wind does more than just cut and destroy.
Yu, perhaps, is more than just cold and ominous.
During the break in practice, Lin Feng rubbed his sore shoulders and started thinking about another thing in his mind.
He was envious of the expensive [Energy Stabilizers] and [Chakra Control Experience] in the system mall.
But he is extremely poor now and his lottery points are almost zero.
“We have to find a way to get some points…”
His gaze involuntarily turned towards the center of Konoha Village.
There is the mission release center.
Maybe… I can take on some tasks that I can handle at the moment?
Not only can you contribute to the village, you can also earn some extra money and test the results of your practice in actual combat.
Kill three birds with one stone!
Chapter 58: Showing Your Strength for the First Time to Scare Off the Villains (Old Version)
After several days of recuperation and basic training, Lin Feng’s body finally recovered to about 80%.
There was no problem with his movements anymore, although the cyan-gold power in his body was still difficult to tame, but he felt that he could no longer stay in the training ground.
He needs actual combat, needs points, and needs to become stronger as soon as possible!
Target——Konoha Mission Center!
When Lin Feng and Naruto stepped into the mission center hall together, the originally noisy environment became eerily quiet for a moment.
Countless eyes were cast over at once, full of curiosity, inquiry, awe, and even hidden jealousy.
The rumor about how he turned the tide against Danzo’s defection had long been circulated in the village. Although most of the details were vague, the concept that “Lin Feng is very strong” had already been deeply rooted in people’s minds.
Some of Lin Feng’s fellow ninjas who had had friction with him in the Ninja School, or who were secretly jealous of his talent, felt very uncomfortable when they saw him being the center of attention and felt the vague sense of oppression coming from him.
Someone lowered his head silently and avoided his sight.
There were also a few people who showed obvious dissatisfaction in their eyes and curled their lips.
Just then, a discordant voice rang out, full of sarcasm.
“Hey, isn’t this the hero who almost blew up our Konoha Village?”
A tall and thin jonin with a sinister look stood in front of Lin Feng, with his arms folded across his chest and a sarcastic smile on his lips.
He was wearing a Jonin vest, but the scratches on his forehead and his gloomy temperament made Lin Feng vaguely feel that this guy might have some connection with the Root, or he might be an old stubborn man who was dissatisfied with the Third Hokage.
“You’re recovering pretty quickly, huh? Why did you come out here to show off your abilities instead of just lying down in bed?”
“What did you say?!”
Naruto got furious on the spot and clenched his fists, ready to rush up to argue.
“Naruto.”
Lin Feng stretched out his hand to stop him and looked at the jonin with a calm expression.
“I’ll take the mission and contribute to the reconstruction of the village. Is that a problem?”
His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone around him.
The jonin sneered and glanced across the task commission column, just in time to see the list that Lin Feng was paying attention to.
He reached out his hand extremely quickly, snatched the C-level task commission sheet, and held it in his hand.
“Cleaning up the energy-polluted area in the West Forest?”
He deliberately raised the list in his hand and spoke in a conferring tone.
“Although this mission is only C-rank, the energy in the contaminated area is a bit strange and dangerous. You, the ‘great hero’ who just woken up, are not feeling well yet, right? You’d better not try to be brave. Leave this kind of rough work to ‘ordinary ninjas like us’.”
He deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of “great hero” and “ordinary ninja”, which was full of sarcasm.
Lin Feng’s eyes turned cold instantly.
He didn’t say anything, but the dormant [Wind God Breathing] in his body suddenly accelerated!
A terrifying wind pressure that was invisible and intangible, yet as heavy as a mountain, suddenly spread out with Lin Feng as the center, instantly enveloping the provocative jonin!
The sarcastic smile on the jonin’s face froze instantly, turning into horror and pain!
He just felt as if an invisible giant hand was strangling his throat. The air around him became extremely sticky, and every breath was like swallowing a razor blade!
What frightened him even more was that under that invisible wind pressure, he felt it was extremely difficult to concentrate and mobilize his chakra, as if an invisible force was interfering with and suppressing his will, making every attempt to concentrate extremely difficult!
The feeling of suffocation and the fear of this unknown power gripped his heart!
The shadow of death looms over my heart!
His face turned as pale as paper in just one second, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and the look he gave Lin Feng was filled with uncontrollable fear.
Lin Feng slowly stretched out his hand. His movements seemed slow, but there was an imperceptible cyan-gold arc lingering on his fingertips, bringing with it an unquestionable sense of oppression that came from the power itself.
His fingertips lightly rested on the jonin’s fingers, which were stiff and trembling with fear, and he easily pulled back the mission order. The moment the electric arc from his fingertips touched the mission order, an imperceptible “sizzle” sound was heard.
“Since we are contributing to the village, there is no distinction between heroes and ordinary people.”
Lin Feng’s voice remained calm, even indifferent.
“I’ll take this mission.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the suffocating wind pressure receded like the tide.
“Plop!”
The legs of the jonin went limp and he collapsed to the ground, supporting himself with his hands. He gasped for breath, his chest heaving violently. The look in his eyes when he looked at Lin Feng was filled with fear of surviving a calamity and disbelief.
He couldn’t understand at all what that terrifying aura was that made him unable to mobilize his chakra just now. What on earth was it?!
This is definitely not a power that a Genin, or even an ordinary Jonin can possess!
The surrounding ninjas were also stunned, each of them staring with their mouths opened.
What just happened?
They only saw the jonin provoking Lin Feng, and then Lin Feng just looked at him, and the jonin was so scared that he collapsed to the ground?
Although that fleeting feeling of oppression was not directed at them, the aftermath alone made some weaker ninjas feel palpitations!
Lin Feng ignored the shocked, awed, or complicated looks around him.
He took the task list and walked straight to the task registration desk.
The ninja in charge of registration happened to be Iruka.
He looked at Lin Feng with a complicated expression, showing both admiration for his growing strength and concerns. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something to persuade him, but in the end he just sighed and quickly completed the formalities. Before he turned around and left, he whispered, “Lin Feng, be careful and don’t push yourself too hard.”
[The host is detected to have successfully deterred the enemy, showing its own deterrent power, and obtaining a small amount of lottery points +50]Lin Feng’s heart moved slightly.
So this is how you pretend… No, it’s to intimidate the enemy and also gain lottery points?
Although it’s not much, a mosquito, no matter how small it is, is still meat!
“Wow! Lin Feng you are so awesome!”
Naruto ran over excitedly and patted Lin Feng’s shoulder hard with admiration on his face.
“That guy just now turned pale and his legs went limp with fear! That’s too lame! Hahaha!”
Lin Feng curled the corner of his mouth.
He knew that he had only subconsciously mobilized a part of his strength just now. Most of it was the [Wind God Breathing] combined with the natural pressure from the violent energy in his body. There was no question of precise control at all.
However, he did realize that this power, which he had not yet fully controlled, seemed to be surprisingly useful in terms of “showing off” and “deterrence”.
No more hesitation.
Lin Feng took the registered task list and decided to set off immediately.
The task of cleaning up energy pollution is not only for the starting 50 lottery points, but also to test one’s initial control over power, and to contribute one’s own strength to the devastated Konoha Village.
He needs to adapt to this power as quickly as possible and become stronger as soon as possible!
The Black Feather Organization and potential threats will not give him much time to grow slowly.
Chapter 59: Black Feather’s sudden attack and murderous intent appear (old version)
On the western edge of Konoha Village, this forest looked like an ink bottle had been overturned by some evil being, and sticky blue-black color covered everything in sight.
The air was filled not only with energy fluctuations, but also with a strange smell of plant decay and some kind of metallic rust. Breathing it in made one’s throat itchy and one’s lungs heavy.
Even the sound of the wind disappeared, leaving only a dead silence that made one’s heart numb.
Lin Feng stood at the entrance, his brows knitted tighter. This place made him feel uncomfortable, as if there were ants crawling under his skin.
The task list was simple: clean up the mutated plants, reduce pollution, and recover [energy crystal] samples for the medical team to study. It sounded like a large-scale weeding and garbage collection job, but it felt like much more than that.
He tried to activate [Wind God Breathing], trying to filter out the irritating breath.
As soon as the breathing method was activated, his perception of the environment was immediately magnified several times. The invisible negative energy in the air, like tiny hooks, accurately hooked up to the untamed [Black Feather Energy] and chaotic [Earth Wind Energy] in his body.
A strong sense of resonance came from deep in his dantian, carrying with it an impulse of destruction and damage, making him almost want to release his power immediately and raze this filthy land to the ground.
“Tsk… calm down, Lin Feng.” He whispered to himself, forcibly suppressing the violent thoughts, and took out the most common four-cornered shuriken from the ninja tool bag.
With a thought, the cyan-gold chakra covered him, making a subtle “buzzing” sound, as if countless tiny wind blades were vibrating. He exerted force on his wrist, and his movements were clean and neat.
“call out!”
The shuriken broke the silence and, with a sharp whistle, shot accurately towards a blue-black vine in front of it that was as thick as a bucket and twisted like a strange python.
The extremely tough vine broke with a sound, and the broken end was so smooth that a person’s shadow could be reflected in it.
What made Lin Feng even more excited was that the cyan chakra attached to the shuriken made a slight “sizzling” sound the moment it touched the vine, like boiling oil poured on snow. The black color at the broken end of the vine quickly faded, and wisps of black gas escaped, which were then completely blown away by the invisible wind.
“Neutralize pollution? Not bad.” Lin Feng felt relieved and started to clean up.
Like an efficient gardener, he continuously threw shurikens with cyan-gold chakra to cut the madly spreading mutant plants. At the same time, he was also carefully going deeper into this strange forest.
He hadn’t gone far before he realized that the trouble wasn’t just from the plants.
A rabbit that should have been shivering in the grass now had bloodshot eyes, with dark crystal particles faintly visible under its fur. It pounced forward with a hissing sound like a small cannonball!
Lin Feng was quick-witted and quick-handed. He dodged sideways and chopped the rabbit’s neck with his backhand, and a crisp bone-breaking sound was heard.
“Even rabbits are so ferocious?” He looked at the twitching rabbit corpse on the ground, his eyes became solemn.
Soon, the real trouble came. Three mutated wolves, nearly one circle larger than normal wild wolves, emerged from behind the twisted bushes. Their fangs were exposed, saliva dripped, and they corroded the ground with a sizzling sound. Large chunks of dark energy crystals condensed on their bodies, exuding a ferocious aura.
Facing these three guys who were obviously not easy to deal with, Lin Feng put away the shuriken. He needed more precise control exercises instead of simply dumping energy.
“【Wind Blade】!”
He put his index and middle fingers together, concentrated his mind, and carefully mobilized the violent blue-gold energy from his dantian and guided it to his fingertips. This process was more difficult than he had imagined. The energy was like a wild horse that would run out of control if he wasn’t careful. Sweat dripped from his forehead.
“laugh!”
A palm-sized, condensed, half-moon-shaped blue-gold wind blade finally condensed and formed at the fingertips, with a sharp sound of cutting through the air. Lin Feng locked his eyes on the wolf on the far left and moved his wrist slightly.
The wind blade flew out of his hand at an astonishing speed and slashed across the wolf’s neck with incredible precision.
The wolf’s head flew up into the sky, and before the blood in its cavity could spurt out, the wound was instantly dried and solidified by the remaining wind energy. The whole process was clean and neat, with almost no excess energy dissipated.
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Lin Feng’s eyes.
In the next few minutes, he concentrated on dealing with the remaining two mutant wolves. He deliberately slowed down the rhythm of his attacks, trying to condense the [Wind Blade] again and again, honing his control over the changes in chakra forms.
There were mistakes during the process. One time, the energy output was a little too strong, and the wind blade plowed a nearly ten-meter-long deep groove on the ground after it was released from my hand, almost tripping me. But overall, each condensation was more stable and faster than the previous one.
When the last wolf was precisely cut in half, the system’s prompt sounded at the perfect moment.
[The host’s control over fusion energy increases to 10%! ]Lin Feng exhaled lightly, shook his numb fingers, and felt that he was able to control the power in his body more smoothly, although this 10% still felt like a drop in the bucket.
He squatted down and carefully peeled off a few fist-sized samples of [Energy Crystal] that emitted a faint dark light from the corpses of several evil wolves. He observed them carefully and put them into the sealed scroll dedicated to the mission after confirming that there was no direct danger.
Just as he finished rolling up the scroll and was about to stand up—
No signs at all!
A chilling, greedy, and malicious feeling of prying eyes instantly enveloped him like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue! Following closely behind was a murderous intent so strong that it almost became tangible!
Lin Feng’s hairs stood up instantly! A premonition of extreme danger gripped his heart!
Almost at the same time, a sharp and urgent alarm from the system sounded in my mind!
[Warning! Multiple high-energy reactions detected approaching rapidly! ][Judged as a hostile target! Threat level judgment: Elite Jonin level (special dark energy fluctuations detected, ability height unknown, extremely dangerous)! ]“Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!”
Don’t give him any time to think or react!
Four dark figures, as if born from the shadows of the polluted forest itself, moved silently, yet as fast as ghosts, rushing out at high speed from the front, back, left and right directions at the same time!
Their landing points were extremely tricky, their movements were smooth, and their coordination was tacit to the extreme. In just a moment, they occupied all the key tactical positions, forming a deadly encirclement, and completely blocking all possible ways for Lin Feng to dodge and retreat!
The uniform black tight combat uniform outlined their sturdy figures. On their faces were strange masks woven with unknown black feathers that covered half of their faces, revealing only a pair of cold, indifferent eyes without any human emotion.
This damn iconic outfit——[Black Feather Organization]!
The leading Black Feather Killer was slightly taller than the other three. His voice under the mask was as hoarse as two pieces of sandpaper rubbing against each other, and he looked down at them with a condescending look:
“Lin Feng, it seems that you have recovered well. Give up the pointless resistance and come with us.”
His gaze was like substance, scanning Lin Feng without any concealment. The greed in his eyes made Lin Feng extremely uncomfortable.
“Master Falcon, I am very interested in you.”
Lin Feng slowly stood up straight. The slight sense of relief brought by the battle and improvement just now disappeared, replaced by cold killing intent and awe-inspiring fighting spirit. His eyes were as sharp as a blade, staring closely at the four people surrounding him.
As expected, they finally found me! Even faster than expected!
He asked in a deep voice, with a hint of barely perceptible mockery: “Hasn’t that old fellow Danzo been dealt with by you? After silencing him, you still come to me. What exactly do you want to do?”
The leading Black Feather Killer uttered a low and short sneer, as if he had heard something extremely ridiculous:
“Danzo? Ha, he is just a chess piece that has some value but can be discarded after use. His life or death has nothing to do with us.”
His tone suddenly became fanatical and greedy, and his eyes were fixed on Lin Feng’s dantian, as if he wanted to see through him completely.
“What we want is the unique ‘core’ inside you!”
“Or rather… it’s you! You yourself are the most valuable material!”
Before he finished speaking!
There was no declaration of war, no unnecessary actions!
With the leading killer codenamed “Night Owl” as the spearhead, the four Black Feather killers moved at the same time like sophisticated killing machines!
Some of them quickly formed seals with their hands, while others released twisted black energy directly from their palms!
The dark energies condensed into various forms—some were sharp claws, some were spikes, and some were snake-like energy beams. Without exception, they all exuded a strong breath of erosion, pollution, and annihilation!
What made Lin Feng’s heart sink even more was that as soon as these black energies appeared, the part of his body’s [Black Feather Energy] of the same origin immediately began to become violently agitated and churning as if it had been summoned, causing a more intense conflict with the [Wind Core] and [Earth Wind Energy] in his body, causing him to feel a series of needle-like pains in his dantian!
Lin Feng’s pupils suddenly contracted!
This battle is not only for self-preservation, but also for protecting the secret of the energy balance in the body! There is no way to avoid it! There is no way to give in!
“You want my ‘core’? You want me as a person?”
Lin Feng let out a low roar, and his suppressed anger and surging fighting spirit suddenly ignited!
“Then let’s see if you guys, who are hiding your head and showing your tail, have the ability to take it from me!”
The dormant cyan-gold chakra in his body was no longer suppressed or restrained, and it erupted like a volcano that had been suppressed to the extreme! The violent cyan-gold storm swept out from him, blowing his black hair and clothes, and clearing away the filthy air around him!
The cyan-gold light illuminated his young and resolute face, and there was an unprecedented determination in his eyes!
A fierce battle concerning one’s own secrets, energy core, and even life and death suddenly broke out in this polluted and dead forest! The battle between wind and darkness has begun!
Chapter 60: Desperate Counterattack: The Wrath of the Wind God (Old Version)
These four Black Feather Killers were like killing machines carved from the same mold, working in perfect harmony.
The guy codenamed “Night Owl” rushed straight to the center like an arrow, and the other two flanked him from the left and right wings like ghosts. The last one quickly formed seals with his hands, and the black energy bullet made a sharp sound of breaking through the air, blocking all possible angles for Lin Feng to dodge!
Their attacks were extremely tricky, the angles were extremely brutal, and they were all aimed at the vital points, leaving no room for any maneuver!
“Hold!”
Lin Feng cursed in his heart. At this critical moment of life and death, he used [Wind God Breathing] to its full potential!
Everything around him seemed to slow down; the flow of air, the trajectory of energy, and every subtle movement of the killer were all clearly presented in his mind.
His body reacted instinctively, his toes pressed hard on the ground, and his whole body seemed to be lifted up by the strong wind. He twisted his body at an incredible angle and avoided the fatal first wave of shots!
At the same time, cyan-gold chakra surged out of the body like a tide, instantly covering the entire body, forming a thin layer of energy coat that exuded a sharp aura, with faint electric arcs jumping.
Hiss!
A few strands of black energy that passed by touched the cyan-gold coat, and immediately made a corrosive sound like sulfuric acid being poured, stirring up bursts of black smoke, but were ultimately wiped out by the violent wind-attribute chakra.
However, something even more troublesome happened!
When the external black energy came into contact with his chakra coat, Lin Feng clearly felt that the part of the same origin [Black Feather Energy] in his body became manic and restless in an instant, like a shark that smelled blood!
They rampaged through his meridians, trying to respond to their kind in the outside world, causing violent conflicts with the cyan-gold [Wind Core] and the majestic [Earth Wind Energy]!
“Well…”
A sharp pain like a needle stabbing his dantian made his body stiffen just after he finished dodging. The flow of chakra in his body instantly became as sluggish and difficult as if it was filled with gravel! This feeling of being attacked from both inside and outside and being restricted made him furious. Damn the black feather energy!
The energy of these guys can actually trigger the hidden dangers in his body!
“There is indeed a problem!”
Night Owl’s hoarse voice carried a hint of understanding, and his speed was astonishingly fast, already approaching Lin Feng!
In his hand he held a pitch-black short blade, the blade flashing an ominous ink color. Every time he swung it, it left a trail of afterimages, and the air was filled with the stench of corroded chakra!
It would definitely be unpleasant to touch this thing!
“【Wind Style: Wind Blade】!”
Lin Feng suppressed the discomfort in his body, and used his fingers like knives, trying to gather the skills he had gradually mastered to fight back.
The cyan-gold wind blade condensed at the fingertips, but it was not as stable as before. The edges kept flickering and the energy seemed extremely unstable.
The wind blade is out of hand, but its cutting power is still amazing!
But Night Owl’s body was like a weightless feather. With just a light side slide, the wind blade passed by the corner of his clothes and cut off a twisted black tree behind him.
Not only that, Night Owl seemed to have anticipated that Lin Feng would use this kind of attack. As he slid sideways, a tiny wisp of black energy shot out from his fingertips. It did not hit the wind blade directly, but cleverly disrupted the airflow around the wind blade, causing the already unstable trajectory of the [Wind Blade] to deflect slightly, and its power was also weakened a little!
Oh shit!
These guys knew more about his abilities than he imagined!
How much information did that old bastard Danzo reveal to the Black Feather Organization? Or do they have other means of surveillance?
The rhythm of the battle was completely controlled by the opponent.
Lin Feng felt like a novice who had just obtained a piece of divine equipment but hadn’t even read the complete skill description. He had all the power but was restricted everywhere!
The weakness of insufficient energy control was infinitely magnified at this moment!
He gritted his teeth and tried to condense a more powerful wind style ninjutsu, such as the simplified version of the [Wind Style: Vacuum Jade] that he had won in a lottery. However, he had only completed half of the seal when the cyan gold and black energies in his body collided violently like two ferocious beasts that refused to give in to each other. His meridians were stabbed, and the condensed chakra instantly went out of control and dissipated, backlashing him so hard that a fishy taste ran through his throat!
“flaw!”
The coldness in Night Owl’s eyes surged, and he seized the moment when Lin Feng failed to mobilize his energy!
The five fingers of his right hand suddenly opened out, and the dense and insoluble black feather energy gathered madly, instantly forming a hideous black claw that exuded a strong aura of corrosion and annihilation!
“Secret Technique: Dark Claw!”
This claw was as fast as lightning, with the determination to tear everything apart, and went straight to Lin Feng’s heart!
The fatal sense of crisis was like a cold water poured over his head, making Lin Feng’s hair stand on end!
Can’t hide anymore!
At this critical moment!
Deep in Lin Feng’s Dantian, the cyan-gold [Core of Wind] seemed to be touched by the host’s dying crisis and strong will to survive, and began to spin wildly and uncontrollably!
A cyan-gold wind energy that was far more powerful, purer, yet more violent and out of control than when Lin Feng actively mobilized it gushed out of his body like a torrent bursting through a dam!
This force was not precisely condensed, but chaotically and instinctively formed a rapidly rotating chaotic storm shield in front of him, mixed with countless tiny wind blades!
On the wind shield, countless tiny wind blades were spinning rapidly, making sharp whistles!
boom!!!
The black [Dark Claw] and the cyan [Wind Shield] collided fiercely!
A deafening explosion echoed throughout the forest!
Two completely different yet equally domineering forces collided and annihilated violently, erupting in dazzling light and destructive shock waves!
Lin Feng only felt a surge of huge force, and the whole person was like being hit by a battering ram. He flew backwards involuntarily and broke several mutated trees before he could barely stabilize his body. His throat felt sweet and his blood surged.
But at the same time, Night Owl’s determined [Dark Claw] was completely shattered by the violently spinning wind shield, turning into black energy fragments all over the sky!
Night Owl’s figure was knocked back half a step, and the look under the mask first flashed a trace of surprise at the strength of this sudden force, but then turned into a more fiery and morbid greed!
“As expected… Is this the original power of the ‘core’? Although violent and imperfect, this potential… is truly wonderful! Even more interesting than what was described in the intelligence!”
Lin Feng shook his numb arms, suppressed his surging blood, and looked cold.
Passive defense is simply not effective. Sooner or later, you will be exhausted to death, or be killed by someone who seizes your weakness and strikes you dead.
We must take the initiative!
Disrupt their rhythm!
Even if… it means taking huge risks!
His eyes suddenly became determined.
The skill scroll that I got from the system lottery but was marked as [Incomplete] and [High Risk] due to energy fusion problems flashed through my mind… The system’s harsh warning seemed to still echo in my ears.
But now, facing this inevitable death situation, it seems… this is his only option to create a glimmer of hope for survival!
I can’t care less!
Lin Feng clasped his hands together suddenly, and then began to form seals at an astonishing speed!
The cyan-gold chakra in the body was like a flood that had been opened, surging wildly without caring about balance or stability!
He pushed [Wind God’s Breathing] to an unprecedented extreme!
The air around seemed to be summoned and began to flow and swirl violently, making a low roar like a giant beast awakening!
The air pressure in the entire area is changing dramatically!
[The host is forcibly activating the incomplete skill [Wind Style: Wind God’s Roar (Fake)]! This skill is extremely incompatible with the host’s current energy state! Energy backlash risk: extremely high! Please stop immediately! ]The system’s warning sound flashed wildly in my mind, like the most piercing alarm!
But Lin Feng turned a deaf ear to it!
His eyes were already filled with blazing cyan-gold light, and his face showed a determination that was almost crazy!
The seal is completed!
He suddenly opened his mouth and used all his strength to roar from the depths of his soul!
“Wind Style: Wind God… Roar!!!”
Boom——!!!
A cyan-colored storm filled with endless destruction and violent aura, like an out-of-control star explosion, suddenly spread and swept in all directions with Lin Feng as the absolute center!
Chapter 61: Whispering in Despair (Old Version)
[Wind Style: Wrath of the Wind God]!
This thing is not some sophisticated ninjutsu at all, it’s simply an out-of-control energy carnival!
The cyan-gold storm swept across everything, like an angry god. Wherever it passed, the twisted and mutated trees and hard rocks were instantly turned into dust.
Within a radius of tens of meters, the ground was plowed open, leaving behind shocking deep gullies, as if it had been gnawed by an invisible giant beast.
This sudden and devastating outburst caught the Black Feather Killers off guard.
The two guys codenamed “Shadow Crow” and “Poison Feather” were obviously much weaker in strength. They were even half a beat slow in their reactions and were directly swept into the terrifying cutting force at the edge of the storm.
Two blood arrows spurted out, and they flew backwards screaming like rag dolls, and hit the ground hard in the distance. The sound of broken bones could be heard clearly, and then there was no movement in an instant. It was obvious that they were seriously injured and dying, and had completely lost the strength to fight again.
“Night Owl” and the guy called “Iron Claw” are tough guys.
They immediately noticed something was wrong, and the strange [Black Feather Energy] on their bodies instantly boiled, forming a thick energy shield.
Even so, the terrifying power of the storm core caused his blood to churn, and his shield fluctuated violently, almost shattering on the spot.
The two men managed to steady themselves in a desperate manner. Although they were only slightly injured by shock, the look in their eyes when they looked at Lin Feng was filled with deep horror.
However, Lin Feng, who had unleashed this shocking blow, was in a more miserable state than anyone else.
This is basically hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting yourself by a thousand and twelve!
The consequence of forcibly mobilizing power that far exceeds the current limit of control is that the energy in the body will completely explode!
The meridians seemed to be burned by fire, breaking into pieces!
The [Core of Wind] in the Dantian let out a wail as if it could not bear the heavy burden, and it vibrated violently. There were even fine cracks appearing on the surface, and it was on the verge of breaking!
“Aaaaaa——!”
Unspeakable pain swept through his body, and the cyan-gold fusion energy was like the most violent poison, madly devouring his body.
On the surface of the skin, the unstable energy crystals that emerged from the previous battle became more numerous and larger, and even pierced the skin, oozing out blood.
His body seemed to be bursting by the violent energy within, his skin kept cracking, blood gushed out, and his consciousness began to rapidly blur like a candle in the wind.
In my mind, the system alarm sounded piercingly sharp, refreshing the screen frantically!
[Warning! Energy backlash! Body collapse rate 30%! On the verge of limit! ][Warning! The Wind Core is seriously damaged! Black Feather Energy is taking advantage of the situation! Corrosion is intensifying! Fusion passively increased to 53%! Danger! ]“Night Owl” stared at Lin Feng’s miserable appearance, and the shock he felt just now was quickly replaced by an even more intense greed.
He licked his cracked lips, and his hoarse voice was filled with morbid excitement: “Although it is out of control, but this power… this core… must be obtained!”
In his opinion, Lin Feng is now a useless person who has power but cannot control it, a fish on the chopping board!
He winked at “Iron Claw” who was also frightened beside him, indicating him to be alert to the surroundings to prevent any accidents.
He raised his right hand again, and the hideous [Dark Claw] condensed again. The dark energy was more dense than before, emitting a disgusting smell of decay.
He wanted to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to completely get rid of Lin Feng and dig out the [Core of Wind] that he had been drooling over!
Just when the “Night Owl’s” [Dark Claws] were about to fall and tear Lin Feng apart completely!
Deep in Lin Feng’s chaotic and blurred ocean of consciousness, the operation of [Wind God Breathing] did not stop, as if it was an instinct engraved deep in his soul.
Suddenly, a faint but unusually clear “whisper of the wind” sounded directly in the deepest part of his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness, as if it had traveled through endless time and space.
The whispers this time were different from the vague ones in the past. They carried a peculiar rhythm and were no longer a chaotic noise. Instead, they sounded like some ancient and desolate call, vaguely pointing to a path different from forced suppression – it was about flow, about resonance, and about an almost instinctive tendency to go with the flow.
Not a specific instruction, more like a vague revelation, a straw grasped at intuitively in desperation.
It was as if he had grasped a ray of hope! Lin Feng’s dying consciousness, like a drowning person instinctively grabbing at any floating object, actually stopped trying in vain to fight the soul-tearing pain with his will.
Deep inside the body, [Wind God Breathing] seemed to be strangely attracted by the rhythm of the “Whisper of the Wind” and began to operate spontaneously in an extremely weak but continuous manner.
He couldn’t even think clearly, but relied on his remaining instincts, and with great difficulty and almost unconsciously, allowed a trace of runaway cyan-gold energy to no longer collide, but was guided by the rhythm, extremely slowly, like a trickle, trying to flow back to the [Wind Core] in his dantian that was on the verge of breaking.
This process is a hundred times more painful than directly enduring the backlash!
Every guidance was like scraping his bones with a blunt knife, making his soul tremble!
Sweat mixed with blood soaked his clothes, and his teeth were chattering so hard that they were almost breaking.
But, surprisingly, this almost self-abuse method actually works!
Although it was extremely slow, the intensity of the violent conflict between the lapis lazuli and dark energy in the body actually began to decrease slightly!
[Core of Wind] The violent shock also subsided slightly, and the cracks did not continue to expand.
“Um?”
“Hmm?” The “Night Owl” who was about to kill paused slightly. With his extremely sensitive perception of energy, he caught the extremely strange fluctuation in Lin Feng’s seemingly dying aura at that moment.
It’s not the recovery of vitality, but the violent and chaotic energy field that is about to collapse completely, seems to be mixed with… an extremely faint, indescribable “noise” that seems to be trying to establish some kind of order?
Although still weak, this sudden change made Night Owl’s heart tremble!
The unknown is the variable! We can’t wait any longer!
He no longer hesitated, and with his [Dark Claw] condensed to the extreme, he grabbed it with all his strength, with a scream that tore through the air! He vowed to take out Lin Feng’s heart and the core together!
At this moment, Lin Feng was concentrating all his attention on guiding the energy, and his body was unable to make any effective evasive movements.
He could clearly feel the deadly claws approaching rapidly, and the shadow of death loomed again!
Is it… too late after all? !
At this moment of despair!
A dazzling yellow flash came in an instant like a thunder that tore through the darkness!
BANG!!!
A dull thud!
The “Night Owl” who was swooping down with a grim smile seemed to be hit head-on by a high-speed truck, and flew backwards at a speed even faster than when he came!
There was a sharp sound of breaking wind and a faint sound of bones breaking in the air.
When the smoke and dust settled a little, a figure wearing an orange sportswear and with blonde hair landed steadily in front of Lin Feng with his back to him.
It’s Naruto!
Uzumaki Naruto, arrived in time!
Chapter 62 Naruto’s Rage Against a Strong Enemy (Old Version)
A dull crashing sound occurred, like a heavy hammer smashing rotten wood.
The “Night Owl” that had just pounced with a grim smile was suddenly whipped away by an invisible force. Its body twisted and broke several thick mutated black trees behind it. It finally fell to the ground with a thud and rolled around a few times before stopping.
He suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and felt a sharp pain in his chest. The eyes under the mask were full of shock, anger and disbelief as he stared at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of Lin Feng.
The figure was wearing a familiar orange sportswear, and his dazzling blond hair was particularly eye-catching in the dim woods.
Naruto landed steadily with his back to Lin Feng, but when he turned his head and saw the tragic scene of Lin Feng covered in blood and with his breath as weak as a candle in the wind, his blue eyes were instantly ignited by violent rage and turned scarlet!
“Buzz!”
The huge and violent Nine-Tails Chakra was like boiling magma, which gushed out of his body driven by his anger, forming a layer of light red chakra coat on his body surface that exuded an ominous aura. The air around him seemed to be restless because of this power!
“You damn bastards!”
“What did you do to Lin Feng?! Huh?!”
Naruto roared angrily like a wounded beast. The murderous intent contained in his voice almost solidified into substance, causing the temperature around him to drop a few degrees!
The pupils of “Iron Claw” next to him suddenly shrank.
He immediately gave up his vigilance against Lin Feng. The aura emanating from this blond boy who suddenly appeared was too dangerous!
He roared, and black feather energy instantly covered his claws, flashing a heart-pounding metallic darkness. His entire body turned into a black shadow and pounced fiercely towards Naruto, his claws tearing through the air, bringing out a sharp whistle!
However, although Naruto was driven by anger at the moment, his fighting instinct was extremely clear! Facing the fierce attack of the “Iron Claw”, his eyes were stern, and he did not resist it. His hands had completed the seals in an instant!
“【Multiple Shadow Clone Technique】!”
Bang, bang, bang, bang——!
Dense white smoke exploded, and the next second, hundreds of Naruto’s shadow clones, also burning with a faint red chakra coat, emerged from all directions like a tide, all with fierce eyes, roaring fearlessly and rushing towards the “Iron Claw”!
The “Iron Claw” is indeed powerful, and the wind from its claws is extremely sharp. Every time it is swung, it can easily tear apart several shadow clones.
But Naruto’s shadow clones were too many! And each of them was blessed with the Nine-Tails’ chakra, with strength and speed far exceeding that of ordinary shadow clones. They rushed forward one after another, entangled and attacked frantically, and for a moment they managed to entangle the powerful “Iron Claw” tightly, making it impossible for him to move!
In the distance, the “Night Owl” who was kicked away struggled to get up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
He looked at the unstable red chakra coat on Naruto, and a deep fear flashed in his eyes.
Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?! How did this brat appear here?!
But the fear was soon replaced by more sinister and greedy emotions.
“Hmph! So what if the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki? Perfect! Let’s solve them all today. This achievement will be enough for me to take a step forward in front of Lord Hayabusa!”
His cold eyes swept across the “Iron Claw” that was besieged by the shadow clones and unable to escape, and then looked at Lin Feng who was still lying limp on the ground, seemingly without any resistance.
In his opinion, although the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is troublesome, the highest priority is still the [Wind Core] that is about to be obtained!
As long as he gets the core, he will be able to escape no matter how strong this Jinchūriki is!
At this moment, Lin Feng was immersing all his remaining willpower in guiding the energy in his body.
He could feel the rhythm of the “Whisper of the Wind”. Although each time of guidance was accompanied by heart-wrenching pain, the runaway energy in his body was indeed being soothed little by little, and the chaotic conflict was slowly weakening.
[Control of Fusion Energy] Like a snail crawling, in resonance with “Whisper of the Wind”, it recovered from the brink of collapse to 8% with great difficulty, and the intensity of the energy conflict in the body was slowly decreasing.
In Dantian, the [Wind Core] that was on the verge of breaking was nourished by the weak natural energy brought by the [Wind God’s Breathing]. The fine cracks actually stopped expanding and even began to repair itself extremely slowly!
He sensed Naruto’s arrival and his raging rage.
A warm feeling welled up in my heart, but it was followed by deeper anxiety.
He couldn’t concentrate at all now, let alone remind Naruto!
I can only pray in my heart, Naruto, you must hold on!
[System prompt: Friendly unit Uzumaki Naruto’s support detected, external survival pressure significantly reduced. ][Suggestion: The host is in an extremely dangerous state. Please concentrate all your energy to follow the Whisper of the Wind to guide the energy. Give priority to repairing the Core of the Wind. The efficiency of improving energy control has been slightly increased.]Just as Lin Feng was trying his best to save himself and Naruto was fighting fiercely with “Iron Claw”, “Night Owl” moved!
He was like a poisonous snake blending into the shadows, silently circling around Lin Feng’s side.
On the pitch-black short blade in his hand, a thicker and more viscous [Black Feather Energy] was condensed. The energy twisted and squirmed, and finally turned into a hideous black venomous snake phantom, with fangs bared, carrying a deadly corrosive breath, and biting towards Lin Feng’s unprotected neck artery like lightning!
A critical moment!
Just when the pitch-black poisonous snake was about to touch Lin Feng’s skin!
Perhaps it was the strong emotional impact brought by Naruto, or perhaps it was the purest survival instinct on the brink of death, which made Lin Feng catch a key point of connection with the rhythm of the “Whisper of the Wind”. An unprecedented and incomparable deep resonance suddenly occurred between the [Wind Core] in his Dantian and the autonomously running [Wind God Breathing]!
It was as if a sleeping dragon had awakened. A force of wind element that was far purer, stronger, and more full of vitality than any previous one actually burst out from the deepest part of the [Core of Wind]!
This newborn force was no longer violent and out of control. Instead, it carried an almost sacred sense of purification, like the bright sun dispelling the haze, and actively faced the [Black Feather Energy] that took advantage of the opportunity to sneak in and wreak havoc in his meridians!
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
Like the blazing sun melting snow, the filthy and sticky [Black Feather Energy] made a harsh hissing sound under the impact of the pure wind elemental force. Although it was still resisting stubbornly, it was constantly repelled, decomposed, and purified at a speed visible to the naked eye! The momentum of erosion was forcibly curbed, and it began to show signs of retreat!
At the same time, those hideous energy crystals on Lin Feng’s body that pierced the skin began to make slight “crackling” sounds, and fell off like ice that had lost its support, revealing the new, intact skin underneath!
The terrible wounds on his body that were so deep that the bones could be seen and kept bleeding, under the nourishment of this magnificent vitality, stopped bleeding, squirmed, and moved closer to each other at an astonishing speed! Although they did not heal instantly, the most fatal injuries were being repaired quickly, and the lost vitality was being quickly replenished!
A stream of cyan chakra that was far more stable and purer than before, as if it had been tempered a thousand times, flowed again through his meridians that had become tougher and wider, like a surging river!
[Fusion Energy Control] Driven by the steady flow of this new force, it climbed steadily and rapidly, and soon broke through the previous bottleneck and reached 15%! This is not only an improvement in the value, but also a leap in energy quality and stability!
Chapter 63: Whisper of the Wind – Desperate Counterattack (Old Version)
Just when the “Night Owl”‘s pitch-black poisonous snake filled with extreme malice was about to bite through Lin Feng’s neck!
The pair of eyes that were originally bloodshot due to pain and loss of control of energy were now as clear as the sky washed by rain, and a bright and pure cyan-gold glow flickered in the deep pupils.
The previous rage, pain, and feeling of dying were gone, replaced by an almost instinctive sense of absolute control over the flow of all the wind around him!
He didn’t even bother to get up, still maintaining a half-lying position.
It was just a slight movement of the mind.
The newly generated, steadily flowing cyan-gold chakra in the body is naturally guided out along the unique rhythm of [Wind God Breathing].
The surrounding air seemed to have received a silent command and responded instantly!
A wall of wind that didn’t look thick but was extremely condensed and emitted a faint green glow appeared out of thin air in front of his neck, blocking the path of the short blade of the pitch-black venomous snake with incredible precision!
“KANG!”
The harsh metal collision exploded along with the sharp sound of energy friction!
The [Black Feather Energy] venomous snake, which was powerful enough to easily corrode ordinary chakra shields and even erode flesh and blood, crashed into the seemingly thin [Wall of Wind], and it was like crashing into an indestructible wall of sighs!
Not only did it fail to penetrate at all, but it was bounced away by a flexible and powerful recoil force!
The condensed phantoms of the poisonous snakes were all dissipated in the shock!
Night Owl was completely stunned, his movements frozen in mid-air, his eyes wide open under the mask, and he cried out in shock: “Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! Your energy…how, how could it suddenly become so stable?! You clearly…”
He clearly felt the drastic change in Lin Feng’s aura!
That is a qualitative transformation!
The previous severe pain and feeling of loss of control receded like the tide, replaced by an unprecedented sense of clarity.
He seemed to be in the center of a storm, but he could not feel a trace of frenzy, only endless tranquility and tolerance. When he was on the verge of death, countless images flashed through his mind, from the confusion at the beginning of the journey, to the study in the ninja school, to the bond of fighting side by side with his companions.
The sounds of the wind that were once ignored now echoed in his ears like an ancient ballad, and every note contained the mystery of nature and the true meaning of power.
He began to try to capture those ethereal notes, to touch, to feel, and to understand them with his consciousness.
Every touch seemed to pluck his heartstrings, causing the [Wind Core] in his Dantian to resonate. A trace of pure wind elemental power began to slowly nourish his broken body and repair his collapsed meridians.
The pain still existed, but it became bearable. Even at the end of the pain, he felt a glimmer of hope, which was a deeper understanding of the wind element and a more subtle control over his own power.
Lin Feng moved slowly but very steadily to stand up from the ground.
He tried to move his body, and his bones made a slight friction sound, no longer as heavy and slow as before.
The wound that was deep enough to see the bone had stopped bleeding and began to heal slowly, but it was still hideous, reminding him of the life-and-death crisis he had just experienced.
The cyan chakra flowing on the body’s surface is like warm spring water, nourishing every inch of skin and accelerating cell regeneration.
You can feel the wound slowly moving, but it will take some time to fully recover. It is not as exaggerated as it seems that it will heal instantly.
However, this recovery speed is already far beyond that of ordinary people, which should be attributed to the powerful vitality brought by ‘Whisper of the Wind God’ and the exquisite use of natural energy.
A layer of stable and powerful cyan-gold chakra glow flows on the surface of the body, like the most gorgeous feather robe.
He could clearly feel that his control over the fusion energy in his body had steadily reached 15%!
Lin Feng looked down at his hands flowing with cyan-gold energy, feeling the unprecedented roundness and control. He whispered to himself with a feeling of sudden enlightenment: “So… So this is the true meaning of ‘Whisper of the Wind’…”
He found that he could more than just barely control the violent fusion energy.
More importantly, through the wonderful resonance between [Wind God’s Breathing] and [Wind Core], he can now truly “understand” the sound of the wind, sense the flow of the wind, and even guide and command them in an almost instinctive way!
This feeling will allow his wind-style ninjutsu to gain an unimaginable improvement in power, efficiency, consumption and control accuracy!
[System prompt: Congratulations to the host! In the desperate situation of life and death, listen to the wind and understand the true meaning of wind! The passive skill ‘Wind God Breathing’ has been successfully upgraded to ‘Wind God Whisper’! ][New Skill: Whisper of the Wind God (Passive)][Effect 1: Wind Element Control – Greatly increases the power of all wind-style ninjutsu, significantly reduces chakra consumption, and greatly increases the accuracy and range of wind element control.][Effect 2: Energy Guidance – Significantly improves the efficiency and stability of guiding the fusion energy (blue gold + black feather) in the host’s body, accelerating the core repair and energy purification process. ]The cyan-gold glow in Lin Feng’s eyes became brighter.
He didn’t even look at the terrified “Night Owl” that was so close.
Instead, he slowly turned his gaze to the distance, at the “Iron Claw” who was being besieged by hundreds of Naruto’s shadow clones, looking miserable but still fighting back fiercely.
Lin Feng slowly raised his right hand, and a faint cyan-gold light condensed at his fingertips. The air around him seemed to be pulled and slightly distorted.
He flicked his fingertips in the direction of the “Iron Claw”.
Almost at the moment his fingertips flicked, a green airflow that was difficult to capture with the naked eye shot out from his fingertips. The airflow merged with the surrounding wind elements and attacked the “Iron Claw” silently at an extremely fast speed.
It is not “traveling through space” in the true sense, but the speed is so fast that it exceeds the limit of capture by the naked eye. Coupled with the concealing effect of the wind element, it creates the illusion of “appearing out of thin air”.
The wind blade appeared precisely in front of the trajectory of the “Iron Claw”‘s sharp claws, and the angle was extremely tricky!
An extremely slight cutting sound was heard.
The “iron claw” that was frantically tearing apart the shadow clone suddenly froze!
He looked down in disbelief.
He saw his indestructible metal claws covered with hard black feather energy…but the tendons connecting to his wrists were completely severed!
Blood spurted out!
The belated pain overwhelmed him like a tide!
“Iron Claw” let out a shrill and distorted scream, its arms hanging down limply, and its proud pair of claws drooping like scrap metal.
His eyes were filled with extreme horror, severe pain, and complete confusion that could not be understood!
What happened?!
Where did the attack come from?!
He didn’t even see a shadow!
Having lost their biggest threat, Naruto’s shadow clones will not miss the opportunity to give the downtrodden man a beating!
They rushed forward, and countless fists and kicks rained down on “Iron Claw”, instantly overwhelming the Black Feather Jonin who had lost the ability to resist!
Naruto’s real body stood a little further away, watching the shadow clones submerge the “Iron Claw” that had lost its ability to resist. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned his head to look at Lin Feng.
When Naruto saw Lin Feng standing steadily, his breath was still a little unstable but obviously improved, and that the incredible attack just now was from his hand, his blue eyes widened, and in addition to shock, he felt more of a sense of relief and disbelief. He shouted loudly, his voice a little out of tune:
“Lin Feng! Are you okay?! Did you do that just now?! That’s too awesome!”
This reversal came so fast and so violently that it completely overturned his cognition!
“Night Owl” witnessed the tragic situation of “Iron Claw” with his own eyes, and heard Naruto’s exclamation. He felt a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and his scalp went numb!
He finally understood it completely!
The Lin Feng in front of him not only recovered from the near-death state!
Its strength has undergone a revolutionary qualitative change!
Especially his control over energy and wind, he is like two completely different people!
This is no longer a simple recovery, but… evolution!
Hearing Naruto’s iconic loud voice, Lin Feng’s tense nerves relaxed for a moment. He nodded slightly in Naruto’s direction, his eyes conveying the message “Don’t worry, I’m fine”. Although he didn’t say much, the tacit understanding between comrades was already conveyed.
Then, he slowly turned his head, and the brief gentleness disappeared in an instant, replaced by an icy murderous intent. His sharp eyes were like an eagle, fixed on the “Night Owl” not far away.
He moved his wrist lightly, feeling the endless yet extremely docile and obedient cyan-gold chakra flowing in his body, and a cold arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“That’s the end of the warm-up exercise.”
“Now, it’s time to… settle the price for what you did to me.”
The [Wind Core] in his Dantian emitted a brisk humming sound, resonating perfectly with the rhythm of [Wind God’s Whisper].
The surrounding wind elements and the ubiquitous air flows seemed to come alive at this moment and became his most loyal servants!
An invisible, heavy pressure spread in the air, covering the area like a domain!
The hairs of the “Night Owl” stand on end!
He felt an unprecedented, icy threat of death from Lin Feng’s calm eyes and indifferent tone!
He knew that conventional means were completely ineffective against Lin Feng in his current state!
Run away? I’m afraid you can’t run away!
The only way to survive is… to fight hard!
“Night Owl” took a deep breath, a look of resolute madness flashed in his eyes, and he began to secretly accumulate strength, preparing to use his most hidden trump card, his life-threatening trump card!
Chapter 64 Green Wind Breaks Thousand Crows (old version)
“Ah!”
“Night Owl” let out a suppressed roar, and all the muscles in his body were trembling. He took a deep breath, and the filthy and sticky black feather energy on his body surged and condensed like boiling asphalt!
In an instant, a set of hideous black [Black Feather Armor] covered with barbs and feather patterns covered his entire body, and even the mask became thicker and more ferocious.
His aura surged at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the cold and evil power almost condensed into substance. It was obvious that he had used some forbidden secret technique to squeeze out his vitality!
“I underestimated you, damn vessel!”
The voice of “Night Owl” came through the mask, becoming hoarse and crazy.
“But I will be the final winner! The [Wind Core] will eventually belong to the great Lord Falcon!”
Before he finished speaking, a wave of air suddenly exploded under his feet, and his entire body turned into a blurry black afterimage, and his speed was several times faster than before!
The black feather energy that was so dense that it was almost dripping was wrapped around the dagger in his hand, and it came down on Lin Feng’s head like a violent storm with a whistling sound that tore through the air!
Every swing brought up a large piece of black energy blade, blocking all of Lin Feng’s space to dodge!
However, facing this violent attack like thunder, Lin Feng just stood there quietly.
His expression did not change at all, as calm as the surface of a deep lake.
The rhythm of [Whisper of the Wind God] flows in his heart, and every subtle change of the air current around him is clearly reflected in his perception and is under his control!
The attack of “Night Owl” is as fast as lightning and extremely brutal.
But in Lin Feng’s eyes, it was full of flaws.
He was too lazy to even move his feet. He just raised his hand casually, tapped his fingertips lightly, and moved freely.
One after another, [Wind Blades] that were condensed to the extreme and exuded a pure cyan-gold color appeared out of thin air, as if they had life, and they met every attack of the “Night Owl” with incredible precision!
Sometimes they intercepted, sometimes they cut, and sometimes they gently pulled at a tricky angle, cleverly deflecting the powerful black energy blade!
Ding ding dong!
The crisp sound of impact continued.
Lin Feng’s movements were free and unrestrained, like strolling in a courtyard, or like conducting a silent symphony.
Each cyan-gold wind blade was used just right. Although its power seemed small, it could always accurately hit the weakest point of “Night Owl”‘s attack at the lowest cost, and easily resolve his violent and ferocious attack that was powerful enough to split mountains and rocks!
The more “Night Owl” fought, the more frightened he became, with cold sweat pouring down his forehead!
He felt that his attack was like hitting a pile of cotton, or like falling into an invisible quagmire!
No matter how he increased his speed or changed his angle, Lin Feng could always predict it in advance and easily block it with that strange cyan-gold wind blade!
This kid’s control over the wind element is simply unbelievable and despairing!
He felt like a reckless man wielding a sledgehammer, fighting against a master who could pluck the strings of a guitar and draw on the power of heaven and earth!
Lin Feng was defending in a relaxed manner, and even had the leisure to comment.
“Is this the power you rely on? Wild, dirty, and disorderly.”
Lin Feng shook his head slightly, his tone calm but with a clear understanding of everything, “Having destructive power but not knowing how to guide and harmonize is like an out-of-control turbulence. Real power should be like the wind, which can be gentle, precise, and controlled at will. You are wasting it like this, which is a blasphemy to the power itself.”
These few light words, like the most vicious curse, pierced the nerves of “Night Owl” that were already on the verge of collapse!
The humiliation of being played around with by others and being commented on casually by them with trash-like eyes completely ignited his final madness!
“You’re looking for death!”
“Night Owl” suddenly let out a hysterical roar, and retreated abruptly, keeping some distance.
He formed seals with his hands quickly, and the energy on the surface of the [Black Feather Battle Armor] on his body seemed to have found an outlet, rushing madly towards the venomous snake dagger in his hand!
The black light on the short blade became stronger and stronger, emitting a heart-pounding aura of destruction!
“Secret Technique: Black Feather Thousand Crows Kill!”
“Night Owl” thrust the short blade that had accumulated a huge amount of energy into the ground!
Boom——!
The next second, countless pitch-black crows made of pure [black feather energy] let out sharp and piercing screams, and rushed out of the cracks like evil spirits from hell!
Covering the sky and blocking out the sun! So densely packed!
Thousands of black-feathered crows flapped their wings, carrying a strong corrosive smell and violent energy that could explode at any time, like a black wave of death, sweeping towards Lin Feng from all directions!
Each crow is equivalent to a mobile corrosive bomb!
The range and power of this move are simply horrifying!
This is obviously the strongest killer move that “Night Owl” has kept in his heart. He wants to use his absolute numerical advantage to completely overwhelm Lin Feng and make his exquisite defense ineffective!
He just didn’t believe that Lin Feng could still defend accurately under such an overwhelming attack!
Naruto, who was far away, saw this horrifying scene that seemed like the end of the world, and his heart tightened. He couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat for Lin Feng!
“Lin Feng! Be careful!”
He subconsciously wanted to rush over to help, even if it was just to attract a few more crows!
“No need to come over here, Naruto.”
Lin Feng took a deep breath, feeling the wind whispering in his ears, his eyes glowed with a cyan-gold light, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a confident arc.
“Since you summoned this darkness, I will let you, and the whole world…listen!”
“The true roar of the wind!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Feng slightly spread his legs and stood firmly.
He slowly raised his hands, palms facing up, as if holding up something invisible.
[Wind God Whisper] Launch with all your strength!
The [Wind Core] in his Dantian was spinning crazily at an unprecedented speed. The huge and pure cyan-gold chakra was like a torrent bursting through a dam, pouring out of his body without reservation, forming a layer of dazzling cyan-gold aura around him!
The wind elements between heaven and earth seemed to have been summoned by the emperor, and they gathered together madly from all directions!
They rapidly rotate, compress and condense around Lin Feng!
A huge, expanding, cyan-gold tornado prototype that exudes a destructive aura began to appear in front of him!
Facing the overwhelming black-feathered crows that were swooping down with their hissing noises, Lin Feng’s eyes flashed with brilliance!
He shouted in a deep voice, his voice like a dragon’s roar!
“Wind Style: Wind God Tornado!”
Chapter 65: Wind Dragon Kills Owl King (Old Version)
boom–!
Lin Feng’s push was not violent, but it caused a dramatic change in the world. The blue-gold tornado that surrounded him rose up, no longer a tentative condensation, but a complete release! A huge wind column connecting the dark sky and the cracked surface rose from the ground, with a diameter of dozens of meters!
A deafening roar resounded through the sky. It was the roar of pure wind element, announcing the arrival of a new controller!
This [Wind God Tornado] is fundamentally different from the previously out-of-control [Wind God Fury]. The energy is no longer scattered and furious, but is highly condensed and compressed by Lin Feng’s exquisite control of [Wind God Whisper], driving it to circulate internally at an alarming speed.
Within the wind column, countless dense yet extremely sharp cyan-gold wind blades shuttled and cut at high speed along with the violent airflow. They contained a destructive force that was enough to tear everything apart, but they were perfectly bound in this cage of wind and could be retracted and released at will!
The tens of thousands of Black Feathered Crows, with their mighty momentum and intent on overwhelming everything with their numbers, crashed into this turquoise-gold field and suffered a devastating blow! Their proud numerical advantage seemed ridiculous and powerless in the face of absolute power and control.
The moment they crashed into the wind column, these filthy energy creations didn’t even make a final hiss before they were shredded and torn apart by the omnipresent violent wind currents and dense wind blades! They were no longer independent individuals, but were forcibly decomposed and reduced to the most primitive energy particles.
The corrosive and explosive properties contained in the body cannot even be triggered by this pure and high-speed cutting force and are completely wiped out and purified!
The dark energy crows poured in continuously, but they only added fuel to the blue-gold wind column in vain. The filth was purified, the pure energy was absorbed, and the free wind elements between heaven and earth were also continuously attracted, so that the [Wind God Tornado] not only did not suffer any loss, but became more condensed and stronger, and the whistling sound overwhelmed all the noise on the battlefield!
The madness and ferocity on “Night Owl”‘s face completely froze.
His eyes bulged out, his mouth under the mask opened unconsciously, and a hoarse, non-human sound came from his throat.
What did he see? He had spent a huge amount of money and risked everything to perform the most powerful secret technique, but… it was crushed just like that?
Being completely destroyed so easily and so easily by a force that he could not understand or resist? !
A cold emotion called despair instantly crushed all his will.
No… Impossible… This kind of purity… This kind of control… My Black Feather Power has actually been… Purified?! This is not an ordinary Wind Style! You have absorbed the power of the [Wind Core]… You are not a container, you… You are a monster that devours everything!” His roar was distorted by extreme fear, with despair that the source of his own power had been completely denied.
Lin Feng ignored his collapse. He just raised his right hand, calmly pointing at the frightened enemy below.
The enormous [Wind God Tornado] seemed to have received a silent command and showed amazing vitality!
The top of the wind column twisted and surged violently, and a ferocious dragon head made entirely of pure blue-gold wind elements emerged from it! The dragon head was huge, with hard lines, and its eyes flashed with an indifferent luster of destruction, firmly locking onto the tiny figure on the ground wearing broken black armor!
“it’s over.”
Lin Feng’s voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone present, like the final verdict.
roar!!!
The wind dragon let out a silent but soul-shattering roar, and suddenly swooped down from the top of the tornado column!
Its speed surpassed the sound barrier, and it crossed the space almost instantly, carrying a terrifying momentum to crush everything!
Before “Night Owl” could even fully display his fear, the cyan-gold wind dragon had already descended in front of him!
Snap! Crack!
The [Black Feather Armor], which condensed a large amount of black feather energy and was regarded as the last barrier by the “Night Owl”, was as fragile as paper in front of the violent wind dragon!
It couldn’t even hold on for a second before it was instantly torn apart, shattered, and peeled off by the terrifying cutting force!
“Ah …
“Night Owl” let out the last miserable and desperate scream of his life. His voice was distorted and filled with unwillingness and fear.
He was swallowed by the wind dragon and directly drawn into the high-speed rotating core of the [Wind God Tornado]!
Inside the tornado is a wind blade purgatory!
Countless fine, high-speed rotating cyan-gold wind blades were like billions of hungry piranhas, frantically cutting the body of the “Night Owl”!
Flesh, blood, bones, internal organs… everything was decomposed and annihilated in an instant!
There was no blood splattering, no broken limbs, and not even a trace of energy fluctuation could escape!
His entire body, along with his filthy black feather energy, was completely purified and decomposed, and finally turned into the purest energy, which was completely absorbed by the [Wind God Tornado]!
Lin Feng slowly lowered his raised right hand, with a trace of the rhythm of the wind element still lingering on his fingertips.
As he moved, the terrifying [Wind God Tornado] that connected heaven and earth began to gradually calm down and shrink, and finally dissipated into the air as if it had never existed.
Only the ground that had been thoroughly plowed, full of scars and potholes, silently told of the horrific power that had just destroyed the world.
Naruto in the distance was completely petrified. His mouth opened wide, his jaw almost dropped to the ground, his blue eyes widened, staring at the place where the storm subsided.
He was completely stunned, his mind was buzzing, and the devastating scene just now was replayed over and over again.
This… is this really the Lin Feng who shared ramen with him, played pranks with him, and sometimes got beaten by Sakura?
This kind of power… is even more… even more terrifying than Kakashi’s Raikiri!
That is not just destruction, but a kind of… majesty that controls everything!
This is completely different from the violent power in his body! Lin Feng…what on earth did he go through?
Lin Feng let out a sigh of relief, his chest rising and falling slightly.
He carefully felt the round, smooth-flowing cyan-gold fusion energy in his body, as well as his easy control over the surrounding wind elements.
[Fusion Energy Control] has been steadily increased to 25%!
The use of [Whisper of the Wind God] has also become more handy and almost become an instinct.
[System prompt: Successfully killed the elite jonin of the Black Feather Organization, ‘Night Owl’ (secret technique burst state), comprehensive judgment, obtained S-level combat evaluation! ][Reward: Advanced lottery point*1, skill ‘Wind Style: Wind God Tornado’ proficiency greatly improved, Wind Core and Black Feather Energy fusion slightly improved (currently 54%, tending towards benign fusion), Black Feather Energy purification progress +5% (currently a total of 70%)! ]Lin Feng was in a good mood, but he was not carried away by victory, and he did not pay attention to the system prompt sound.
His gaze passed over the messy battlefield and looked into the distance. There, being pressed to the ground by Naruto’s countless shadow clones, the “Iron Claw”, which had completely lost its ability to resist, was wailing in despair.
There were also two other groups of people, “Shadow Crow” and “Poison Feather”, who were affected by the previous battle and fell to the ground seriously injured, with their lives and deaths unknown.
A cold light flashed in his eyes.
To cut the grass, you must remove the roots!
He was ready to completely eliminate these problems.
Chapter 66: Interrogating the Remnants and Uncovering the Conspiracy (Old Version)
The wind died down, and Lin Feng’s figure was particularly clear on the messy battlefield. The diffuse dust slowly fell, revealing the thoroughly plowed and bumpy ground. The air still had the unique freshness and coldness of the wind element cutting at high speed.
He took a step, his boots rustling on gravel and scorched earth, and walked slowly towards the ‘iron claw’ that was pinned to the ground by Naruto’s energetic and now somewhat breathless shadow clones.
The remaining Black Feather Killer was covered in blood, and under his shattered mask, his face was twisted in pain and fear. One of his arms was hanging at an unnatural angle, with bones piercing through the flesh, and it was obvious that all the tendons and bones in his hand were broken.
When he saw Lin Feng approaching, his calm and almost indifferent face, and his eyes that had reflected the devastating storm not long ago, an uncontrollable chill instantly rushed from his tailbone to his head! The muscles of “Iron Claw” trembled violently and uncontrollably, and the pupil of the only intact eye that remained shrank to the size of a needle tip due to extreme fear.
He saw it clearly just now. The black feather armor that the “Night Owl” boss was so proud of was not even as thin as a piece of thin paper in front of the cyan wind dragon. It was torn into the most primitive energy in an instant!
The scream didn’t last long, and the whole person was gone!
Not even a dregs left! This Konoha Genin in front of me, no, this is not a Genin at all! This is a monster!
A devil in the guise of a teenager!
His strength has been improved to such an incredible level, but he, “Iron Claw”, has failed today, completely failed. Is there any way for him to survive?
The instinct for survival grew wildly like weeds, overwhelming the pain and despair.
“Don’t… don’t kill me!!” “Iron Claw” screamed with all the remaining strength in his body, his voice was so sharp that it changed its tone and sounded like crying.
“I’ll tell you everything! I know! I know a lot of secrets of the Black Feather Organization! Lord Hayabusa’s plan! Our base! They are all useful! Definitely valuable!!”
He was like a dying fish, twisting his body in vain, trying to use intelligence, the last straw, to buy even a little more chance to survive.
Lin Feng stopped and stood in front of him, casting a shadow that completely covered the “Iron Claw”.
He looked down at the limp enemy, emitting a bloody and desperate aura, with no ripples on his face. His voice was as cold as the winter wind: “Tell me about it.” After a pause, he added: “If your information is indeed valuable, I can consider… letting you die quickly.”
How could “Iron Claw” dare to hope to survive? When he heard the words “hurry up”, he felt as if he had grasped salvation. He immediately rushed to shout out all the information he knew, fearing that he would be crushed to death if he was a second late:
“It’s Lord Falcon! The leader of our organization! He is determined to get the [Wind Core] in your body! This ambush was planned by him personally! He ordered Night Owl to capture you at all costs!”
“We were able to find your location so quickly and accurately because we used the information provided by the remaining forces of Konoha’s root! Those rats in the gutter are not dead yet!”
“We have several secret bases in the Fire Country. I know the locations of three of the most secret ones! I can draw them! The personnel composition of the organization, the code names and abilities of the core members, and the codes and frequencies of our internal communications…”
“Oh right! The most important thing! Lord Falcon seems to be conducting a very secret, very important forbidden research! It is related to the nature of the [Black Feather Energy], and he seems to want to integrate some lost ancient power! Your [Wind Core] is the most critical and core catalyst for this research! He will never give up! He will send more people! Stronger people!”
Lin Feng listened quietly, his eyes sharp as a hawk, remembering every key piece of information, especially the forbidden research on “Falcon”, the role of the Wind Core, and the information that those lingering guys in the root were still operating in secret and even colluding with Hei Yu. This information was extremely valuable!
Naruto’s real body next to him also came over. When he heard what was said, his brows were furrowed, he was filled with indignation, his golden hair almost stood up, and his fists were clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound.
“Damn it! Those bastards from the Black Feather Organization are actually doing such bad things! And the guys from the Root, old man Danzo is dead, why are they still lingering around! It’s so infuriating!” He felt extremely angry and disgusted with these evil forces hiding in and outside Konoha.
When “Iron Claw” finished telling Lin Feng everything he knew and could squeeze out of him, and collapsed to the ground like a dehydrated fish, gasping for breath, and looking at Lin Feng with the only remaining glimmer of hope, Lin Feng finally spoke.
His eyes were still cold, as if he was looking at an inanimate object: “Your information is indeed of some value.”
A faint glimmer of hope just ignited in “Iron Claw’s” eyes, and he almost shed tears.
“But it’s not enough to buy your life.” Lin Feng’s words were understated, but they were like nine-net-cold ice, instantly extinguishing the pitiful flame in “Iron Claw”‘s heart and throwing him into the bottomless abyss of despair.
In the eyes of “Iron Claw” that were full of disbelief, resentment and eventually turned into complete silence, Lin Feng put his fingers together like knives, and a green light flashed from his fingertips, condensing into a wind blade that was as thin as a gossamer, but condensed and sharp to the extreme.
laugh!
The wind blade passed silently, and a thin line of blood appeared on the neck of “Iron Claw”. He widened his eyes, and a hoarse sound of air leaked from his throat. Then his head tilted and he was completely lifeless.
Being kind to the enemy is being cruel to yourself. Especially in this cruel ninja world, Lin Feng has already understood this very thoroughly. Being too kind will only bring endless troubles and dangers to yourself and your companions.
He didn’t even look at Iron Claw’s body again, and turned to walk in the other two directions. There, Shadow Crow and Poison Feather had been seriously injured in the previous battle and fell to the ground unconscious.
Lin Feng did not hesitate at all, his movements were quick and decisive, even a bit like he was disposing of garbage. The wind blade flashed again, and with two soft hissing sounds, the lives of the two Black Feather Killers were completely ended, leaving no trouble behind.
[System prompt: Successfully killed the Black Feather Organization’s jonins ‘Iron Claw’, ‘Shadow Crow’, and ‘Poison Feather’. Comprehensively judged, obtained an A-level combat rating.][Reward: Intermediate lottery points*3, Black Feather Energy Purification Progress +1% (currently a total of 71%). ]Lin Feng responded to the system prompt calmly and began to clean up the battlefield quickly.
He squatted down and carefully searched the bodies of the four Black Feather Killers.
They seized some scattered standard ninja tools, several communication scrolls encrypted with special techniques, and some loose change. It wasn’t a large amount, but it was better than nothing.
He quickly put these things away, especially the encrypted scrolls, which might be able to be analyzed with the help of the system to dig out more information about the Black Feather Organization and the Root stronghold.
After doing all this, he looked to the side and saw that all of Naruto’s shadow clones had disappeared with a “bang bang bang”, leaving only the real person with his hands on his hips, still staring at the corpse on the ground in amazement.
“Naruto,” Lin Feng said, his voice returning to his usual gentle tone, “Thanks to you for arriving in time this time, otherwise I would be in trouble.”
Naruto suddenly came back to his senses. He scratched the back of his head vigorously, revealing his signature, silly and bright smile. He chuckled, “What are you talking about! We are companions! This is as it should be! But then again, Lin Feng, you… are too strong! That super tornado just now was simply, simply…”
He couldn’t find the right words for a moment, so he could only wave his fist vigorously, “It’s so handsome! So cool! It’s more powerful than my dad’s Rasengan!”
He was amazed and envious of the terrifying strength displayed by Lin Feng, and he also admired him from the bottom of his heart and was happy for his companion.
Lin Feng was amused by him and pulled the corner of his mouth, which was considered a smile. He patted Naruto on the shoulder and said, “Okay, stop flattering me. Let’s go back to the village.”
He looked up in the direction of Konoha Village. The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky a warm red, but Lin Feng’s eyes gradually became deeper.
Night Owl died, and the four jonin ambush teams were wiped out, but this was just an execution force sent by the Black Feather Organization.
The mysterious leader “Falcon” hiding behind the scenes, who is determined to obtain the [Core of Wind], and those root remnants who secretly collude with them and are like maggots on the tarsal bone, these threats are like the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, they still exist and are more hidden.
We must digest the gains from this battle as quickly as possible and improve our strength. And… we can’t always wait for the enemy to come to us.
Using the intelligence just squeezed out of the “Iron Claw”, perhaps… it’s time to take the initiative and give those rats hiding in the dark a little “surprise”!
Chapter 67: Konoha’s Rising Star Becomes Famous (Old Version)
The setting sun dyed the sky a thick orange-red color, and Lin Feng and Naruto walked side by side on the dirt road back to Konoha.
Lin Feng was carrying a few crystals that emitted weak energy fluctuations. They were energy condensates left over from the cleanup mission area. Next to them was a small bag of sundries looted from the Black Feather Killer.
Naruto chattered all the way, still recalling the earth-shattering [Wind God Tornado] just now, gesticulating with saliva flying.
The moment the two stepped into the gate of Konoha Village, the noisy atmosphere came to an abrupt end.
The ninja guarding the gate was originally leaning lazily against the wall, but the moment he saw Lin Feng, he suddenly stood up straight, his eyes filled with incredible awe.
On the street, the villagers walking and the ninjas talking all cast their eyes over here like iron filings attracted to a magnet.
Those eyes were extremely complicated, showing shock, curiosity, admiration, and even a little fear, especially those that stayed on Lin Feng for an unusually long time.
“Hey, look, it’s Lin Feng!”
“Hiss… is that him? He killed four Kuroba jonin by himself?”
“Is this true? I heard from my buddies on patrol that the scene was so horrific that they couldn’t even find all the bodies!”
“My God, he’s still so young…”
The whispers came like a tide, and although the voices were deliberately lowered, they still reached the ears of the two people clearly.
Naruto scratched his head, somewhat confused, but soon he straightened his chest and chuckled proudly.
It turned out that although the place where they had fought before was relatively remote, the devastating movement of the [Wind God Tornado] was like a searchlight in the dark night. How could it be possible to hide from Konoha’s perception barrier and the nearby patrolling ninjas?
When the patrolling ninja team arrived at the scene in fear, the battle was already over.
All they saw was a battlefield that looked like it had been ravaged by a giant beast. The earth was rolling, the trees were broken, and there were still heart-pounding energy fluctuations in the air.
Also, there were four bodies of ninjas that clearly belonged to the Black Feather Organization. Although one of them (Night Owl) had been completely destroyed, leaving only traces of battle and broken pieces of black armor, it was not difficult to determine his identity.
The most crucial thing is that the “murderer” who caused all this – Lin Feng, and his companion Uzumaki Naruto, just stood there calmly in the mess. Except for some dust on their clothes, they looked unharmed.
This discovery made the patrolling ninjas’ scalps tingle.
They immediately reported this shocking news with the highest priority.
The information spread like wildfire, instantly reaching the top leaders of Konoha and rapidly spreading among the ninja community.
While carrying out a C-rank cleanup mission, they encountered an elaborate ambush by four elite jonin of the Kuroba Organization (judging from the traces and corpses at the scene, their strength was definitely at the jonin level, and there was even a ruthless character among them).
What’s the result?
All the ambushers were destroyed!
Lin Feng, the rising star who had recently shined in suppressing the Root Rebellion, not only survived but also managed to counterattack!
And according to the feedback from the scene, Lin Feng himself seemed to be fine!
This news was like a depth bomb. In the Konoha Village, which had just experienced Danzo’s rebellion and subsequent turmoil and where people were still somewhat uneasy, it instantly exploded and set off a huge wave!
The villagers and ninjas were all stunned!
People were dumbfounded and talked a lot, all marveling at Lin Feng’s rocket-like rise in strength.
It was already amazing enough that Danzo’s rebellion was suppressed not long ago, but how long has it been?
How could he actually kill his opponent and escape unscathed when surrounded by four elite Black Feather jonin?
This strength…Isn’t it that he has already surpassed ordinary jonin by a long way and is close to the top elites like Kakashi? !
Some people even secretly wondered if this guy had already reached the threshold of the shadow level?
For a time, “Son of the Wind”, “The Rising Star of Konoha”, “The God of Battlefield Killing”, “Walking Ninjutsu Turret” and all kinds of crazy, cool and awesome titles began to circulate wildly in private.
Lin Feng’s reputation in the village soared to an unprecedented new height, like a soaring monkey.
Especially those ninjas who are of the same generation as Lin Feng, or younger, their eyes are simply shining!
Idol!
This is the real idol!
Look at Lin Feng!
Look at yourself again!
Practice!
We must practice harder!
A wave of fanatical worship and pursuit greatly boosted the morale of the village, which had been slightly depressed after the war.
The Valley of the End.
The waterfall roars and water splashes everywhere.
Uchiha Sasuke was shirtless, his black hair was soaked with sweat and stuck to his angular cheeks.
He practiced Chidori over and over again. The blinding lightning roared in his palms, striking the surrounding rocks into pieces.
When the news about Lin Feng came, the lightning in his hand suddenly went out of control and exploded, leaving charred marks on his arms, but he was completely unaware.
“Damn it…” Sasuke clenched his fists suddenly, his knuckles turning white from the effort.
The scarlet three-magatama Sharingan spun rapidly in his eye sockets, reflecting his extremely uneasy heart at the moment.
It’s Lin Feng again!
That guy…why is he always ahead?!
Kill four jonin?
Why should he?!
A complex emotion of jealousy, resentment, anger, and a tiny bit of recognition that he himself was unwilling to admit, surged violently in his chest like boiling magma.
Become stronger!
I must become stronger!
Must surpass him!
Kakashi was leaning against the memorial tablet, holding a copy of “Intimate Paradise”, but his eyes were wandering, and it was obvious that his mind was not on the book.
After learning that Lin Feng was safe and sound and had killed all the enemies, he breathed a long sigh of relief and revealed his signature lazy smile.
But beneath the smile lies a deeper worry.
“This kid… his strength is growing at an alarming rate.” He muttered to himself, “The source of this power… and Falcon’s coveting of him… are becoming more and more troublesome.”
He closed the book and decided that he must find an opportunity as soon as possible to have a good talk with Lin Feng, not only to remind him of the potential dangers, but also to find out the truth about his power indirectly.
Hokage’s office.
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the report in his hand, which detailed the findings of the patrolling ninjas and subsequent intelligence analysis.
He walked to the window and looked at the village gradually regaining order and vitality on the streets below, a relieved smile appeared on his old face.
It is a great thing that Konoha has a successor.
But then, his brows furrowed again with deep worry.
“Lin Feng…” He sighed softly, “You are growing faster than I could imagine. This is a blessing for Konoha, but it may also… bring you a bigger storm. I hope you can hold on.”
The Black Feather Organization, the remnants of the Root, and those peepers hiding in the dark… This child is already at the center of the storm.
Task submission center.
As soon as Lin Feng and Naruto stepped in, the noisy hall became quiet again.
When the Chunin in charge of the registration task saw Lin Feng, the pen in his hand trembled and almost fell to the ground.
He quickly stood up, forcing out an extremely respectful and even slightly flattering smile on his face: “Master Lin… Master Lin Feng! You… you are here to submit the task?”
The title directly changed from “Lin Feng” to “Lord Lin Feng”.
Naruto was standing by and was stunned.
Just then, Iruka ran in from outside, panting, obviously having come here specially after hearing the news.
He looked Lin Feng up and down, and seeing that he was indeed safe and sound, he finally let out a long sigh of relief, feeling relieved.
But then, the look he gave Lin Feng was filled with indescribable shock and pride.
This kid… has he really grown to this point?
It’s…it’s incredible!
Facing various complicated looks around him, Lin Feng remained unusually calm.
He knew it clearly in his heart. After this incident, his status in Konoha was completely different.
From a newcomer with some talent, he suddenly became a key figure who attracted much attention and even had the ability to influence the village’s top-level decision-making.
But he also knows that fame is a double-edged sword.
The higher you stand, the farther you can see. At the same time, it also means attracting more attention, as well as… countless troubles and murderous intentions.
I’m afraid the peaceful days are finally over.
Chapter 68: Winning a Lottery and Winning a Celestial Body (Old Version)
After returning home, Lin Feng slammed the door shut, completely isolating himself from the awe-inspiring or inquiring gazes from outside, as well as the hustle and bustle of the street.
The room was very quiet, with only the sound of his own slightly rapid breathing.
He needed to calm down and take stock of the rich gains after this life-and-death battle.
The first is the settlement of the task center.
The original C-level mission of cleaning up the contaminated area was directly judged to be over-completed because of the ambush and successful counter-attack by the Kuroba Jonin, and the mission rating soared to A-level.
A large amount of contribution points and generous mission bonuses made Lin Feng’s pocket much fatter.
Then, there was the exciting prompt sound from the system background.
[Ding! Battle settlement: Killed the Black Feather Organization’s jonin ‘Night Owl’, obtained S-level battle evaluation, rewarded with 1 advanced lottery point, random skill proficiency increased ([Wind God Whisper] awakening degree increased to 40%, [Wind Style: Wind God Tornado] proficiency increased to 35%), Black Feather Energy Purification Progress +1% (currently 72%). ][Ding! Kill the Black Feather Organization’s Jonin ‘Iron Claw’, ‘Shadow Crow’, and ‘Poison Feather’, obtain an A-level combat evaluation, and be rewarded with 3 intermediate lottery points, and Black Feather energy purification progress +1% (currently 73%). ][Ding! The performance is amazing (inducing awe), and you get 50 ordinary lottery points. ]Lin Feng quickly calculated the total points he earned from this battle: advanced lottery points*1, intermediate lottery points*3, and ordinary lottery points*50.
Adding the points he had accumulated before, he now had the following lottery points: Advanced*2, Intermediate*4, Normal*150.
This wave is a huge profit!
In terms of skills, the awakening degree of [Whisper of the Wind God] and the proficiency of [Wind Style: Wind God Tornado] have been significantly improved, which means that his control over the wind is more subtle and his ultimate move is more powerful.
[Control over fusion energy] was forcibly raised to 25% due to the extreme stimulation between life and death, and was no longer as difficult to control as before.
The physical level has benefited greatly.
The injuries sustained in the battle have been almost fully recovered thanks to the dual nourishment of the natural energy brought about by [Whisper of the Wind God] and the effects of the remaining potions in the body.
After this tempering, the [Core of Wind] in the Dantian has become more condensed and stable, and the fusion ratio with the black feather energy has reached 54%, showing a trend of benign fusion, and the overall purification progress has reached 73%!
Lin Feng clearly felt that the power in his body was surging like a rushing river. Compared with before the battle, it was a world of difference.
Now, his strength has far surpassed that of ordinary jonin. In terms of explosive power and energy control, he may have already touched the threshold of elite jonin!
This feeling of holding power is intoxicating.
Lin Feng did not hesitate and decided to immediately convert part of the results of the battle into immediate combat power.
He first chose to consume 1 advanced lottery point and 2 intermediate lottery points.
Even a small piece of meat is meat. Let’s start with two intermediate-level ones to whet your appetite!
[Intermediate level lottery begins… Congratulations to the host for winning: Chakra Refining and Purification Technique (Intermediate)! ][The intermediate lottery begins… Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Advanced Physical Technique: Mastery of the Instant Body Technique! ][Chakra Refining and Purification Technique (Intermediate)]: It can make chakra more pure and condensed. The same amount of chakra can burst out with stronger power, and the cost of casting the technique will be reduced accordingly.
[Advanced Physical Skills·Mastery of the Instant Body Movement Technique]: Greatly increases the speed, distance, and concealment of the Instant Body Movement Technique, raising the host’s mobility on the battlefield to a higher level.
Yes! These are all extremely useful abilities!
Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction, looking at the glittering golden advanced lottery point with burning eyes.
“The highlight is coming! Explode it!”
The system dial spun rapidly, and the colored grids turned into flowing light and shadows. Finally, the pointer trembled and stopped on a grid that exuded soft green.
Engraved on the grid was a blurry ancient rune full of life!
[The advanced lottery begins… Congratulations to the host for winning: Immortal Body (Incomplete)! ]The moment the system prompt sounded, Lin Feng felt an indescribable, vast and powerful life energy rushing into his limbs and bones like a flood breaking through a dam!
[System prompt: Obtained the incomplete bloodline limit ‘Sage Body (Primary)’! Effect: Greatly increases the total amount of chakra, vitality, body recovery speed, and significantly improves the affinity for natural energy! Note: This is an incomplete version with great potential, which can be completed through subsequent draws or special opportunities. ]Warmth! An incomparable warmth sweeps over my entire body!
Every cell was cheering and greedily absorbing this extremely pure life energy.
He could clearly “hear” the stronger beating of his heart, feel the blood flowing faster, and his bones, muscles, and meridians being strengthened and transformed at an astonishing speed!
The injuries that had almost recovered were instantly healed by this force, without even a trace of scar left.
What surprised him even more was that this life energy produced a wonderful resonance with the natural energy brought about by [Whisper of the Wind God]. The two attracted and promoted each other.
He felt that his perception and attraction to natural energy had been elevated to more than one level!
The most obvious change is that the total amount of chakra in his body is skyrocketing like a balloon being blown up!
The already impressive amount of chakra was nearly doubled with the blessing of “Sage Body (Primary)”!
The quality of the chakra also becomes more refined because of the [Chakra Refining and Purification Technique], and it flows with a heavy and condensed feeling.
“Shit… Take off!”
Lin Feng couldn’t help but let out a low roar, feeling the unprecedented surging power in his body and the vitality that was so strong that it almost overflowed. His whole body was trembling slightly with excitement.
Physical fitness has skyrocketed! Chakra has doubled! Recovery speed is incredible! Affinity for natural energy has soared!
Plus the extreme speed brought by [Mastery of the Instant Body Technique]…
Even if you face off against a Kage-level warrior head-on and cannot defeat him, running away is definitely enough!
Lin Feng checked the remaining lottery points: Advanced*1, Intermediate*2, Normal*150.
He decided to keep these points for the time being, just in case. After all, he had to keep a few cards in the hole.
He slowly clenched his fists, and his knuckles made crisp popping sounds.
Power! This is what power feels like!
With the bug-level bloodline limit of [Sage Body] as a foundation, his future growth ceiling will be infinitely raised!
Whether he is fighting against the mysterious “Falcon” and the Black Feather Organization, or dealing with various undercurrents inside and outside the Konoha Village, he is more confident!
This wave is not a loss! It’s a huge profit!
Chapter 69: Internal and external troubles and powerful enemies all around (old version)
The streets of Konoha Village were bathed in sunshine, with pedestrians coming and going. At first glance, everything seemed to have returned to its former tranquility.
However, as Lin Feng strolled through it, his newly acquired [Immortal Body] gave him perception abilities far beyond those of ordinary people.
He could clearly sense the lingering tense atmosphere in the air. The smile on the street vendor’s face was a little stiff, the eyes of the villagers who passed by were flickering, and the patrolling ninja’s hands were subconsciously on his ninja bag under his seemingly casual steps.
The calm is only an appearance.
His deeds of killing four Kuroba jonin were like a storm, and its aftermath is still spreading.
As his fame grew, he also became a complete sitting duck, attracting countless overt and covert attention, many of which were malicious.
The fragments of intelligence dug out from the mind of the unfortunate Black Feather Jonin “Iron Claw” were sorted and analyzed with the help of the system, and the picture drawn was chilling: the remnants of the roots, those ghosts that should have disappeared in the dust of history, were actually in cahoots with the Black Feather organization!
Although the old guy Danzo is dead, the poisonous weeds he planted are still spreading wildly. These guys are unwilling to fail and are trying to overthrow the rule of the Third Hokage, and they are even willing to collude with foreign enemies.
This is like planting a bomb in the heart of Konoha that could explode at any time! Thinking of this, Lin Feng’s eyes turned colder. These guys really deserve to die.
At the same time, the Black Feather Organization’s activities in the Fire Country are becoming more rampant and covert.
The mysterious leader codenamed “Falcon” has become obsessed with the [Wind Core] to the point of being pathological.
The disastrous failure of this ambush will not make him stop, but will only stimulate him to invest more strength and plan more thorough and sinister plans to snatch.
The next time we meet him, it may not be just a few senior ninjas. There may be more troublesome characters appearing.
And there’s Orochimaru, the lurking venomous snake!
In the last Konoha collapse plan, he and the Sound Village seemed to have only stirred up trouble and did not use their full strength, but who would dare to underestimate him for that?
God knows where that guy is hiding in some dark corner, and what vicious conspiracy he is plotting.
Lin Feng also felt very uncomfortable with the gaze directed at him from behind the reflective lenses of Pharmacist Dou’s glasses. That cold, inquiring look was like someone looking at a precious experimental subject, which was creepy.
The village is not a monolithic entity.
The two veteran members of the advisory group, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En, have been speaking more frequently and forcefully at reconstruction meetings recently, subtly disagreeing with the Third Hokage’s opinions and trying to gain more say in resource allocation and power structure.
Although Lin Feng did not directly participate in high-level meetings, he could still smell the familiar smell of power struggle from the occasional words mentioned by Kakashi and the subtle sluggishness in the implementation of some decisions in the village.
The more realistic problem is that the follow-up effects of the sudden energy rain last time, coupled with the trauma of the war, have put Konoha’s medical system under tremendous pressure.
Many injured villagers and ninjas were unable to receive timely and effective treatment, and dissatisfaction and complaints accumulated quietly in secret.
Senior Sister Jingyin has been so busy lately that she has dark circles under her eyes.
Lin Feng heard that she had even been seriously considering whether she should let go of the past grudges and set out to find Lady Tsunade, one of the legendary “Three Ninjas” who was addicted to gambling but possessed miraculous medical ninjutsu, to come back and take charge of the situation.
“Lin Feng.” A slightly lazy but unignorable voice sounded behind him.
Kakashi appeared beside him at some point, still looking half asleep, with half of his face covered, leaving only his eye exposed. At this moment, he looked unusually sharp and solemn.
“Your progress is quite amazing.” Kakashi put his hands in his pockets and looked at him sideways, “Amazing… so amazing that I have to pay attention.”
He raised his hand and patted Lin Feng’s shoulder gently: “Power itself is neither good nor bad, the key is how to use it. Konoha is now facing internal and external troubles, and many eyes are staring at you. Some powers that are obtained too easily have unknown sources, so you must be extra careful when using them.”
Although Kakashi’s words were vague, the inquiry and concern in his sharp eyes made Lin Feng’s heart tremble.
He understood instantly that Kakashi was quietly warning him, reminding him that the power that came too fast and had an unknown origin might contain unknown risks.
This tacit warning made Lin Feng even more grateful to Kakashi, but also made him more vigilant.
His eyes swept across the training ground not far away. At the edge, Sasuke’s figure was like a tireless fighting machine, his dark training suit soaked with sweat, and steamed by his hot body temperature.
Three magatama were spinning rapidly in his eye sockets, and every seal he made carried a breath of determination and destruction. The prototype of the Chidori Sharp Spear flickered in his hands.
Lin Feng could feel that Sasuke’s strength was increasing crazily in a way that was almost self-mutilating, but along with it came a coldness and brutality that was becoming increasingly difficult to conceal.
The ominous curse pattern on his neck rose and fell slightly like a living thing, tempting him towards the abyss of power all the time.
At the other end of the training ground, Naruto, the guy who always seemed to be a little stupid, had a rare serious look on his face.
He no longer rushed around like before, but really gritted his teeth and carried out high-intensity chakra control training, and even tried to guide the violent Nine-Tails Chakra in his body. Although the effect was sometimes good and sometimes bad, making him look embarrassed, his unyielding spirit was particularly dazzling.
Lord Jiraiya has been hanging around the village more frequently lately, and it seems that this legendary Sannin is finally planning to give Naruto some “formal” elite guidance.
Kakashi’s warning, coupled with the scene in the village that he saw with his own eyes, completely calmed Lin Feng’s heart, which had been somewhat dizzy due to his sudden increase in strength.
Beneath the calm surface of the water, there is an undercurrent that can swallow everything! Not only are the enemies from outside lurking around, but the threats lurking within Konoha are equally deadly.
He silently circulated his chakra, and the tremendous vitality and power brought by the [Sage Body] slowly flowed through his body, bringing him strong self-confidence, but it was unable to completely dispel the haze that shrouded his heart.
His strength has indeed improved a lot, but facing so many enemies hiding in the dark and the chaotic situation in the village, how long can he hold on alone?
Two fists cannot defeat four hands, and guarding against thieves for a thousand days is even more tiring! He needs more reliable allies, more accurate intelligence, and ultimately, absolute strength that can crush all conspiracies and intrigues!
Sitting here and waiting for the enemy to come? That’s not his style! A sharp light flashed in Lin Feng’s eyes, like a sharp blade out of its sheath.
He recalled the fragmentary intelligence he had obtained from Iron Claw. Although it was not systematic, after systematic screening and logical reorganization, it was enough to identify several small bases where the Black Feather Organization and the remaining Root forces communicated or exchanged supplies.
Instead of passively taking a beating, it is better to take the initiative!
It’s better to strike first!
Pulling out these nails hidden in the dark can not only effectively weaken the enemy’s strength and disrupt their deployment, but also follow the clues to obtain more valuable intelligence, and most importantly… you can also get another wave of system rewards to further strengthen yourself!
This decision is extremely risky. Once there is a mistake in the action, or if you accidentally hit a tough opponent, it is likely to lead to more crazy and reckless revenge from the other party.
But he didn’t have many choices. If he wanted to gain a firm foothold in this chaotic chess game, or even control his own destiny, he had to show the courage and determination to overturn the table!
Lin Feng no longer hesitated, his brain worked at high speed, and he began to quickly plan the details of the action in his mind, repeatedly deducing intelligence, and simulating various possible situations and response plans.
At the same time, he seized every minute and every second and immersed himself in cultivation. With the help of the [Sage Body]’s super affinity for natural energy and the guidance of [Wind God Whisper], the surrounding natural energy flowed into his body like a trickle, constantly washing and tempering his body and chakra, consolidating the realm that had just skyrocketed, allowing him to control every bit of power in his body more easily.
A new storm is brewing.
He must be fully prepared to meet the upcoming challenges.
Chapter 70: Wind God Furiously Cuts Root Feather (Old Version)
The night was like thick ink, completely swallowing up the wilderness outside Konoha Village.
After several days of sleepless preparation and intelligence gathering, Lin Feng finally locked on the target.
With the help of the system’s in-depth analysis of the “Iron Claw” memory fragments and the seized encrypted scrolls, a stronghold hidden in an abandoned shrine outside the village surfaced.
The secret meeting point between the remnants of the Root and the Black Feather Organization!
Lin Feng took a deep breath, and the cold night wind with the fishy smell of grass and trees filled his lungs.
He decided to go it alone.
Now he has the confidence.
The vast chakra and recovery ability brought by [Sage Body], the extreme speed provided by [Flash Body Mastery], and the subtle perception of the environment by [Wind God’s Whisper] all gave him the confidence to complete this raid without alerting anyone.
The night is his best disguise.
Lin Feng’s figure turned into a blurry afterimage, shuttling through the dense forest at high speed.
The tip of my toes tapped the branches lightly, making almost no sound.
[Whisper of the Wind God] was running at its peak, and he seemed to become one with the night wind. The air currents surrounded him, smoothing out any ripples caused by his movement, and perfectly blending his aura into the silent darkness.
Not a trace was left.
Soon, the outline of a dilapidated, gloomy shrine appeared at the end of the field of vision.
It stands quietly on a hillside covered with weeds, its broken walls casting distorted shadows under the moonlight, exuding a decadent and ominous atmosphere.
Lin Feng stopped, held his breath, and expanded his perception.
Inside the shrine, several chakra fluctuations were clearly fed back into his mind.
Three streams of coldness and oppression, with that sickening smell of death that is unique to the roots.
The other two were filled with filthy and twisted [Black Feather Energy], like rotten mud.
Confirmed, this is it!
Like a civet cat, he quietly moved to the side and rear of the shrine, avoiding any possible security at the main gate.
[Whisper of the Wind God] carefully captures every abnormal flow in the air.
There are tiny chakra thread traps hidden under a few inconspicuous piles of dead leaves at your feet.
In the shadow of the corner, there is an imperceptible perception barrier.
Lin Feng curled up the corner of his mouth into a sneer, and moved his body slightly, avoiding most of the traps like flowing water.
But when approaching a corner, [Whisper of the Wind God] keenly captured an extremely subtle chakra fluctuation. It was a complex perception barrier that would be triggered if not careful.
He concentrated and held his breath, mobilizing the wind element to carefully interfere with the energy flow of the barrier. Then he slipped through like a ghost without setting off any alarms.
He easily climbed over the broken wall and sneaked into the shrine.
Inside the main hall, the dim candlelight flickered, illuminating five blurry figures.
Lin Feng hid in the shadow of the beam, observing from above.
The three guys wearing black suits and lifeless white masks on their faces were dressed like former Root ninjas.
The other two were wearing the iconic uniforms of the Black Feather Organization and had an evil aura.
They are making a deal.
Spread out on the table was a carefully drawn map of Konoha Village’s defenses! Next to it was a scroll that emitted malicious chakra marks targeting Lin Feng.
Sarutobi Hiruzen’s weakness is ruining Konoha! He destroyed the Root, allowed the village to be invaded by villains, and let that kid named Lin Feng of unknown origin step on the ideas of Master Danzo to rise to power! “The leading former Root ninja’s voice was hoarse, with suppressed madness, “This information is the will of ‘that master’, and it is given to you to help Master ‘Falcon’ clear the obstacles. Konoha needs an iron fist to correct all this!”
A member of the Black Feather Organization sneered in a low voice, and his voice sounded like sandpaper rubbing against each other: “Don’t worry. Lord Falcon is determined to get the so-called ‘Wind Core’. Lin Feng won’t be able to jump around for a few more days. This is what you want. ‘That Lord’ will be satisfied.”
He pushed a sealing scroll over.
The deal was done, and both parties seemed relieved and prepared to pack up and leave.
Lin Feng’s eyes were filled with coldness, and he no longer hesitated.
Almost at the moment the thought arose, his figure disappeared from the spot!
The speed brought by [Mastery of the Art of Instantaneous Movement] is extremely fast!
At the same time, [Whisper of the Wind God] is activated with full force!
“Puff, puff, puff, puff!”
Dozens of silent wind blades condensed to the extreme, like the scythe of the god of death, suddenly shot towards the five people in the hall from all directions and at every tricky angle!
Something unexpected happened!
The five people in the hall had never expected that someone would be lurking here, let alone that the attack would come so swiftly and silently!
The two weakest Root Ninjas didn’t even have time to react, hot blood spurted out of their necks. With an expression of disbelief, they fell straight down and died on the spot!
The leading Root Ninja and the two Black Feather members were very experienced and they unleashed their potential at the critical moment of life and death.
They rolled and dodged in a panic, narrowly avoiding fatal injuries.
But the sharp wind blades still left wounds of varying depths on their bodies, and the blood instantly dyed their collars red.
The three of them gathered back to back, looking in horror in the direction of the beams that had been empty just now. There, Lin Feng’s figure slowly appeared, his eyes as cold as ice that had been there for thousands of years.
“It’s you! Lin Feng!!” The leading Root ninja’s eyes almost popped out when he saw who was coming, and he roared in shock and anger.
They were plotting how to get rid of the target, but they actually found their lair without anyone noticing? !
Lin Feng was too lazy to waste time talking to these dying people.
Every word more is a waste of time.
His figure blurred again, and he shuttled back and forth at high speed in the narrow hall like a ghost!
The super high mobility brought by [The Art of Instantaneous Body Movement], combined with the [Wind Blade] that can penetrate any hole and has a tricky angle under the control of [Whisper of the Wind God], is simply a sure kill!
“Asshole! Kill him!”
“For Master Danzo!”
“Black Feather Secret Technique!”
The remaining three roared in despair and fought back desperately.
The Root Ninja tried to perform a silent killing technique and merged his body into the shadows, but Lin Feng’s [Whisper of the Wind God] had already locked onto the abnormality of the airflow. A precise wind blade directly forced out his figure and cut off his arm that was in the seal.
The Black Feather member spewed out corrosive black mist, but it was instantly blown away by the strong wind caused by Lin Feng’s high-speed movement, and the wind blade that followed pierced his heart.
Their resistance was not non-existent, but it seemed futile and short-lived in the face of Lin Feng’s predictable attacks and ghostly speed.
The space in the main hall of the shrine is limited, which actually becomes an excellent venue for Lin Feng to take advantage of his speed.
His figure moved left and right, forward and backward, and each flash was accompanied by a deadly wind blade cut.
Screams, the sounds of weapons colliding, and energy explosions intertwined together.
It was a massacre without any suspense.
The enemy tried his best, but couldn’t even touch the corner of Lin Feng’s clothes.
The huge gap in strength doomed the outcome of this extermination war from the very beginning.
As the last enemy fell, a strong smell of blood filled the main hall of the shrine.
Lin Feng looked indifferent as he quickly stepped forward and took the Konoha defense map on the table, the scroll that recorded his intelligence, and the seal scroll that the Black Feather Organization gave to the Root.
He took a quick glance around and made sure that he had not missed anything valuable. Then he blended into the night again and left quietly, leaving behind only the mess and corpses on the ground.
Chapter 71: The Aftermath of the Forbidden Technique Appears (Old Version)
Lin Feng returned to his small courtyard on the edge of Konoha silently, like a ghost blending into the night.
The bloody smell on his body had long been blown away by the wind, but the murderous aura had not yet completely disappeared.
He knew that he had stirred up a hornet’s nest of some size.
It is impossible to kill five guys who are not unknown, especially those involving the remnants of the Root and the Black Feather Organization without leaving any traces.
Disappearance, especially during this sensitive period, is itself the most obvious signal.
Sure enough, just half a day later, an invisible undercurrent began to surge faster and faster beneath the surface of Konoha.
The remaining forces at the root were like frightened poisonous snakes, quickly retracting all signs of activity and becoming more covert.
The Black Feather Organization’s hidden forces in the Fire Nation also immediately noticed the loss of contact points, and panic and anger spread among them.
Lin Feng had anticipated this.
He sent the intricately drawn Konoha defense map and the scroll recording the conspiracy against him to the Hokage’s office anonymously in the safest way.
As for the encrypted scroll that recorded the secret transactions of the Black Feather Organization, he kept it.
His intuition told him that there might be something more valuable hidden inside this thing.
In the Hokage’s office, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the two scrolls that suddenly appeared on the table, his old face filled with solemnity and shock.
The detailed defense map sent chills down his spine, and the detailed plan against Lin Feng on another scroll made him shudder with fear.
Combined with the report just received from the Anbu, five bodies of suspicious identities were found in an abandoned shrine outside the village – three were suspected to be former Root members, and two had characteristics of the Black Feather Organization.
The answer is obvious.
“Lin Feng…”
Sarutobi Hiruzen uttered this name with an extremely complicated look in his eyes.
This kid is really braver than the sky!
And this strength… is soaring like a rocket!
Besides being shocked, I am also deeply worried.
This kind of uncontrollable power, coupled with such a decisive and ruthless style of action, is it a blessing or a curse?
He pressed his brows hard and ordered in a deep voice: “Send a message to the Anbu, keep a close eye on all personnel who may be related to the Root! Report any unusual movements immediately!”
He must control the situation and must not let the evil left by Danzo completely detonate Konoha!
The news spread like wildfire and soon reached the ears of advisory elders Utane Koharu and Mitokado En.
Someone from the root is in trouble again!
And his death was unclear!
The two elders looked at each other and could see the dissatisfaction and doubt in each other’s eyes.
Sarutobi Hiruzen’s control over the situation is really getting weaker and weaker!
The village has just undergone a major change, and a strong hand is needed, but he is still hesitating!
“Huruzen is too weak.”
Utane Koharu snorted coldly.
“It’s time for certain families to understand that Konoha can’t go on like this.”
Mizuto Menyan pushed up his glasses, and a calculation flashed under the lenses.
The two exchanged a knowing look, and secretly began to contact those family forces that were also dissatisfied with the status quo and eager for more power, preparing to put more pressure on the Hokage.
At the same time, in a hidden corner of Konoha.
A Black Feather Organization liaison codenamed “Crow” is transmitting information to the organization’s top brass through secret techniques.
His voice was filled with uncontrollable fear and anger.
“The base has been destroyed! Three Root collaborators and the two we sent are all dead! The traces at the scene point to… it is very likely that Lin Feng did it!”
“The opponent’s strength is far beyond our expectations, and his actions are decisive and ruthless. We underestimated him!”
“Ask Lord Falcon for his decision! Request reinforcements! We must eliminate this variable as soon as possible!”
A storm is brewing, but Lin Feng, who is at the center of the storm, seems unusually calm at this moment.
He sat cross-legged at home with the encrypted scroll seized from the shrine spread out in front of him.
The scroll is made of a special material, with complex and incomprehensible runes and diagrams drawn on it, emitting an evil energy fluctuation.
Lin Feng tried to decipher it and found that it seemed to contain data on some of the Black Feather Organization’s forbidden human experiments, as well as a prototype of a forbidden technique that was closely related to the [Black Feather Energy].
Unfortunately, the key parts are highly encrypted, making it difficult to get the full picture.
[Ding! Special encrypted scroll detected, triggering a new task: Decipher the forbidden scroll! ][Task requirements: Decipher the contents of the scroll as much as possible. ][Task rewards: rewards are given according to the degree of decryption, which may include ninjutsu, skill points, special props, etc. ][Tip: You can use lottery points to assist the system in deciphering. The success rate is related to the points consumed.]The system prompt sounded at the right time.
Lin Feng’s eyes moved slightly and he put the scroll away temporarily.
Deciphering requires time and resources. Right now, improving hard power is the right approach.
He closed his eyes, immersed his mind, and began to practice [Immortal Body] and [Whisper of the Wind God].
The majestic life energy flows through the body like a gentle river, nourishing every cell.
His affinity for natural energy allows him to absorb external energy more efficiently and fuse it with his own chakra.
[Fusion Energy Control: 26%][Purification degree: 73.5%]The data is growing slowly but steadily.
With every breath, you can feel the accumulation and solidification of strength.
“Knock, knock.”
A knock on the door interrupted his practice.
Lin Feng opened his eyes and sensed that it was Kakashi.
When he opened the door, Kakashi was still looking lazy, leaning against the door frame with one of his eyes curved into a crescent.
“Oh, it’s quite leisurely.”
Kakashi spoke, his tone light, but there was unmistakable seriousness in the one eye that was exposed.
“You are getting more and more courageous, kid.”
He walked into the house and closed the door behind him.
“You were the one who did what happened at the shrine, right?”
Lin Feng did not deny it and nodded.
Kakashi sighed and raised his hand to ruffle Lin Feng’s hair, his action showing some helplessness and concern.
“I know what you want to do, but can you be a little more… cautious next time?”
“The mad dogs of the root and the scum of Black Feather are not good people. They have suffered such a big loss, they will definitely take revenge like crazy.”
“You are now a thorn in their side.”
He paused, his expression becoming serious.
“Let me teach you some techniques to hide your presence and resist tracking. They can save your life at critical moments.”
Kakashi’s concern was genuine. Lin Feng felt warm in his heart and listened carefully to Kakashi’s explanation and demonstration.
Not long after Kakashi left, the gate of the courtyard was slammed loudly again.
“Lin Feng! Lin Feng! Open the door quickly!”
It was Naruto’s signature loud voice.
Lin Feng opened the door reluctantly, and saw Naruto standing at the door with an excited look on his face, with a… small puddle under his feet?
“Hey! Look! I did it!”
Naruto pointed at his feet, showing off proudly.
“Treading water! I’ve completely mastered it! Uncle Jiraiya even praised me for my rapid progress!”
Looking at Naruto’s silly smile, Lin Feng couldn’t help but smile.
“Not bad, Naruto.”
“Of course!” Naruto puffed out his chest, put his hands on his hips, and his face was full of an expression that said “praise me quickly.”
“Lin Feng, let’s work together! Beat all those bad guys! Protect the village, protect everyone!”
His eyes were bright and determined, full of infectiousness.
Lin Feng smiled and patted his shoulder: “Ah, let’s work hard together.”
At the edge of the training ground not far away, a pair of cold eyes were staring at this side.
Uchiha Sasuke stood under the shade of a tree, sweat running down his angular cheeks and dripping onto his dark training suit, staining a small dark area.
He looked at the relaxed and natural interaction between Lin Feng and Naruto, and at Lin Feng’s seemingly always at ease posture, and the jealousy and resentment in his heart almost turned into tangible flames and burst out.
Why?
Why can this guy always become stronger so easily?
Why did Kakashi look at him differently?
Why is even Naruto, who is at the bottom of the list, making rapid progress?
Even though I have paid so much and endured the erosion of the curse, I still feel that I am left far behind!
The cursed pattern on the neck seemed to sense the emotional fluctuations of its owner and became slightly hot. The black lines spread uncontrollably, bringing a tingling pain and a cold temptation of power.
Sasuke clenched his fists suddenly, his nails digging deeply into his palms, using the pain to suppress his restlessness.
He stared at Lin Feng’s back, his eyes filled with a mixture of fighting spirit and sinister intent, so strong that it could not be dissolved.
Just wait, Lin Feng… I will definitely surpass you! With my own strength!
“Naruto! Lin Feng!”
A clear female voice interrupted Naruto’s chatter.
Haruno Sakura came trotting over with a food box in her hand, her cheeks slightly flushed from running.
“Really, Naruto, you’re making a noise here again!”
Sakura glared at Naruto in reproach, then handed the food box to Lin Feng.
“Lin Feng, this is the new medicinal food I prepared. It is very helpful for stabilizing chakra and restoring physical strength. You have been training hard recently, so give it a try.”
A light aroma of mixed medicine and food wafted from the food box.
“Thank you, Sakura.”
Lin Feng took the food box and felt warm in his heart.
“By the way,” Sakura took out a thick notebook from her ninja tool bag, “This is the research notebook I compiled recently on the sequelae of the last ‘energy rain’. It records the symptoms of some villagers and ninjas who have chakra mutations, as well as some of my speculations… Senior Shizune is too busy. I want to ask you, you have such a keen sense of energy, can you help me take a look and provide some ideas?”
Lin Feng took the notes and flipped through them casually.
Sakura’s handwriting was beautiful and neat, and the records were very detailed, listing all the various symptoms, slight changes in the properties of chakra, and abnormalities in energy flow.
Turning to the back, there are some speculations about the analysis of energy properties.
Suddenly, Lin Feng’s gaze stopped on a certain page.
Sakura recorded a special case where a Genin’s chakra became extremely unstable after the energy rain, and occasionally emitted a kind of… extremely weak, but cold and corrosive energy fluctuation.
This feeling…
Isn’t this just a weakened version of [Black Feather Energy]? !
Although it was extremely faint and almost imperceptible, he would never mistake the “quality” of that core!
The chakra mutation caused by the energy rain actually resonated with the evil energy of the Black Feather Organization?
Or is it that the seemingly unexpected energy rain itself is related to the Black Feather Organization, or even a deeper conspiracy? !
A chill ran down Lin Feng’s spine and onto the back of his head.
Things are far more complicated and dangerous than he imagined!
These days, the atmosphere in the village has indeed become increasingly depressing.
Konoha Hospital was overcrowded, and many people who were injured in the last attack or suffered sequelae from the energy rain could not receive timely and effective treatment.
Shizune was so busy that she had dark circles under her eyes. I heard that she tried to contact Lady Tsunade several times, but all failed and there was no response.
The lack of medical resources and the slow response of the top leaders caused some dissatisfaction and questioning voices to quietly spread among the villagers, and the spearhead was vaguely directed at the Third Hokage.
There is power struggle within and instability at the top; outside, there are powerful enemies surrounding and watching covetously.
The remnants of the Root, the Black Feather Organization, Orochimaru… and that damn energy rain aftermath that might be related to the Black Feather energy!
Lin Feng took a deep breath, feeling the surging power in his body, as well as the fusion energy of [Immortal Body] and [Whisper of the Wind God] that he had not yet fully mastered.
Not enough!
It’s not enough!
Must become stronger faster!
We must find a way to resolve the hidden dangers of [Black Feather Energy]!
Moreover, we can no longer wait passively!
His eyes became sharp.
We must take the initiative, continue to pull out those nails hidden in the dark, disrupt the enemy’s rhythm, and strive for more initiative before they react!
Only in this way can we firmly control our own destiny in this turbulent undercurrent!
Chapter 72: Ramen Shop Night Raid (Old Version)
Sakura’s notes were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in Lin Feng’s heart.
That faint but familiar corrosive energy fluctuation… is definitely not a coincidence!
Energy rain, the Black Feather Organization, the remnants of the Root, and the strange and depressing atmosphere inside the village… The clues are like scattered beads, faintly pointing to a huge conspiracy hidden beneath the water.
Passive waiting is just waiting for death.
Lin Feng’s eyes were as sharp as a knife.
He needs more intelligence and needs to disrupt the enemy’s deployment!
After sending Sakura away and declining Naruto’s invitation to eat ramen together, Lin Feng returned to the house and once again immersed his mind in the encrypted scroll seized from the shrine.
Although most of the content cannot be interpreted, combined with the chaotic memory fragments of “Iron Claw” before his death, and the fuzzy analysis performed by the system at the cost of a small amount of lottery points, a coordinate point gradually becomes clear.
Pointing to an inconspicuous corner ramen shop in the village.
“It’s interesting. You’re playing tricks under the lamp, right?” Lin Feng’s mouth twitched, revealing a cold arc.
During the day, he practiced as usual, asked Kakashi for advice on anti-tracking techniques, and even took the time to teach Naruto some tips on controlling the Rasengan’s chakra. Everything was normal.
Only he himself knew that beneath the calm surface of the water, murderous intent was brewing.
At midnight, everything is quiet.
The moonlight was obscured by thick clouds, and Konoha Village was immersed in deep darkness.
A shadow that almost blended into the night, avoiding the sight of all patrolling ninjas, appeared silently in the back alley of the ramen restaurant called “Tonkotsu Paradise”.
It was Lin Feng.
[Whisper of the Wind God] was running at full power, and every tiny flow of energy in the air was clearly fed back to his perception.
The ramen restaurant had already closed, with its doors and windows shut.
But in the back kitchen area, a weak but continuous chakra fluctuation, like a firefly in the dark night, exposed the secret underground.
A simple warning barrier was set up at the entrance, as well as several hidden explosive traps.
To Lin Feng, it was meaningless.
He moved slightly, like weightless catkins, and easily bypassed all the arrangements and came to a corner in the back kitchen where miscellaneous items were piled up.
After moving a few empty flour bags aside, an inconspicuous secret door was revealed, leading to the underground.
Lin Feng did not hesitate at all. He held his breath and extended his perception.
The underground space is not large, about the size of an ordinary room.
Four chakra fluctuations.
There was a steady aura, with the cold and oppressive nature unique to the Root. Its strength was at the Chunin level, and he was the elite among them.
The other three were filled with that disgusting [Black Feather Energy], and their strength was probably at the peak of Genin.
In the basement, under the dim light, a Root ninja wearing a raccoon mask was handing a small metal box to the three Black Feather members opposite.
“This is the latest batch of ‘Bone Corrosion’ medicine. The effect is remarkable, but the side effects require you to provide more experimental data.” The voice of the Root Chunin was low and hoarse.
“Don’t worry, Lord Hayabusa is very interested in these.” The leading Black Feather Genin took the box, his eyes flashing with greed, “Konoha’s medical system will soon be overwhelmed, and then…”
A blinding green light suddenly burst out from the entrance of the secret door!
Several highly condensed chakra balls that rotated and cut through the air, with the power to tear everything apart, slammed heavily on the secret door that was blessed with defensive spells!
Crack—boom! !
The defensive spell collapsed instantly! The heavy metal secret door was blown to pieces, and the fragments mixed with the air waves poured wildly into the basement!
The sudden attack stunned the four people in the basement instantly!
“Enemy attack!!”
The Root Chunin reacted the fastest. He roared and instantly formed seals with both hands.
But Lin Feng’s attack is faster!
The moment the Vacuum Jade broke through the door, his figure appeared at the entrance of the basement as if teleported!
Two extremely swift green wind blades came from behind and arrived first, accurately cutting the throats of the two Black Feather Genins closest to the entrance!
Blood is gushing out!
The two men covered their necks, with extreme fear and disbelief in their eyes. They didn’t even see who the enemy was before they fell to the ground and died instantly!
“Bastard!” The Root Chunin’s eyes were bloodshot, and a wall of earth rose from the ground, blocking him in front of him.
【Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall】!
At the same time, he slammed a button on the wall, and a sharp and piercing alarm instantly rang throughout the basement!
The only remaining Black Feather Genin also reacted. He formed seals with his hands in horror and suddenly opened his mouth!
“【Dark Escape: Black Mist】!”
A large amount of sticky black mist with a corrosive smell gushed out of his mouth and quickly spread, trying to block his vision and interfere with his perception!
“A trifle!”
Lin Feng’s cold voice rang out in the black fog, filled with absolute contempt.
[Wind God’s Whisper] activated!
A strong wind suddenly rises!
With Lin Feng as the center, a strong airflow suddenly erupted, like an invisible giant hand, instantly tearing the diffuse black fog into pieces and blowing it away!
The vision became clear again.
Lin Feng stood proudly in place, with a faint green airflow surrounding him, his eyes cold and without any emotion.
The huge chakra provided by [Sage Body] is like a rushing river, supporting him to squander his strength without any scruples!
“You…you are Lin Feng?!” When the Root Chunin saw who was coming, his voice was trembling, full of horror and disbelief.
The guy who killed their companions at the shrine actually came back so soon?! And his strength… is much stronger than the intelligence said!
“Dead people don’t need to know much.”
Lin Feng was too lazy to talk nonsense and quickly formed seals with his hands!
“【Wind Style: Wind Blade Dance】!”
In an instant, the entire basement seemed to have turned into a high-speed rotating cutting machine!
Countless cyan-gold wind blades, too tiny to be seen with the naked eye but extremely sharp, appeared out of thin air, like a swarm of violent bees, filling every inch of space and carrying out indiscriminate destructive cutting!
The teeth-grinding cutting sounds rang out frequently!
The only remaining Black Feather Genin let out one last shrill scream, unable to even put up a decent resistance, as he was instantly cut into countless pieces by the dense storm of wind blades, leaving a bloody mess!
The earth flow wall of the root Chunin was quickly eroded and pierced like tofu under the cutting of the violent wind blade, making a shattering sound under the heavy weight!
“No!!”
The Root Chunin was terrified as he watched the Earth Flow Wall about to collapse. The shadow of death instantly enveloped him!
Without hesitation, he suddenly burst out his chakra and tried to use the body-flash technique to escape from this death cage!
However–
A faster figure appeared behind him like a ghost!
[Advanced physical skills: Mastery of the technique of instant body movement]!
Lin Feng’s speed was far beyond his imagination!
The Root Chunin only felt a chill on his neck, and an overwhelming force instantly invaded his body, violently cutting off several of his main chakra meridians!
Plop!
All the strength in his body receded like the tide and he fell to the ground, unable to even move a finger. He could only look at Lin Feng with extreme fear.
The wind blades gradually subsided.
The basement was in a mess, with dense cut marks all over the walls and floors. The strong smell of blood and the pungent smell of medicine mixed together, making people feel sick.
Lin Feng walked forward expressionlessly and first put away the box of “bone-eroding” potion and several document scrolls scattered around.
A quick glance revealed more data on the human experiments conducted by the Kuroba Organization, an incomplete list of Root sleeper operatives, and a vicious plan detailing how to use drugs and special means to gradually paralyze and contaminate the medical supplies and systems of Konoha Hospital!
“Tell me, who is ‘Falcon’? What’s the code name of your leader?” Lin Feng looked down at the Root Chunin on the ground with an icy voice.
Despair and madness flashed in the Root Chunin’s eyes, but the fear of death ultimately overwhelmed everything.
“Master Falcon… is a high-ranking member of the Black Feather Organization in the Land of Fire… and is obsessed with… the research of special energy… I don’t know his exact identity…”
“Our leader…codename…’Xiao’…he will avenge us…”
After getting the information he wanted, there was no more ripples in Lin Feng’s eyes.
The hand rises and the knife falls.
A wind blade accurately slashed across the Root Chunin’s neck.
Done.
Lin Feng did not stop. He skillfully cleaned up any traces he might have left, packed up the valuables and took them away. His figure blended into the deep night again, as if he had never appeared.
All that was left was this underground base disguised as a ramen restaurant and four cold corpses, silently telling what had just happened.
Chapter 73: The Killing God’s Fame Spreads to Konoha (Old Version)
The back alley of the ramen restaurant was filled with deathly silence in the darkness before dawn.
When the first rays of morning light barely penetrated the thick clouds, the Konoha ninjas on morning patrol smelled the lingering strong smell of blood and the pungent smell of medicine.
The secret door had already been violently broken open, and the twisted metal showed the violence of the invader.
The horrific scene in the basement made even the most experienced ninja feel sick to their stomachs.
There were four bodies, all of them died in a miserable manner.
Especially the Black Feather Genin, there was almost no intact tissue to be found.
The walls and the ground were covered with dense, varying depths of cut marks, as if they had been tortured to death.
“It’s… Wind Style again…” The Anbu ninja who led the team spoke in a dry voice, and felt a chill running from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.
There were no extra traces left at the scene, except for the ubiquitous and clearly directional wind blade cutting!
The second secret base!
Another thunderous sweep!
The Root Chunin, a member of the Black Feather, has disappeared again!
The news spread among the top leaders at an alarming speed like a plague.
The atmosphere in the Hokage’s office was so depressing that it felt like water could be squeezed out of it.
Sarutobi Hiruzen held the latest report, his fingers trembling slightly, not because of anger, but because of an indescribable fear.
“Lin Feng again…” Mitomon Yan pushed up his glasses, his eyes behind the lenses were as sharp as a knife, “What on earth does he want to do? Is he demonstrating to the entire Konoha?!”
Utatane Koharu’s face turned pale: “Lawless! Absolutely lawless! Hiruzen, how long are you going to indulge him?!”
Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his forehead tiredly and did not respond.
He knew that it was useless to say anything now.
Lin Feng used the most direct and brutal way to once again announce to everyone his existence, as well as his terrifying strength and style of doing things.
Awe? Fear? Maybe both.
After receiving the news, the top leaders of Konoha’s major families fell into silence.
The thought of taking this opportunity to put pressure on the Hokage and grab more power was instantly poured with a bucket of cold water.
joke!
Even the Root and the mysterious Black Feather Organization suffered great losses in front of this kid named Lin Feng.
Who dares to jump out at this time? Do you think your life is too long? !
At the root base, in a dark and damp secret room.
The roar of “Owl” almost blew the roof off.
“Waste! All waste!” He slammed the scroll in his hand to the ground, and his face under the mask was distorted beyond recognition.
Twice in a row!
Two strongholds were taken down in a row!
What was lost was not only manpower, but also the face of the root!
And his majesty as an “owl”!
“Investigate! Investigate thoroughly!” He roared, his voice like a wounded beast. “Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I must find that little devil! I want to make him wish he were dead, but he can’t live!”
“Xiao”‘s order was transmitted as quickly as the cold wind.
The remnants of the root party were like dormant poisonous snakes, instantly retracting all their tentacles and lurking at a deeper level, waiting for their chance to strike.
At the same time, the Black Feather Organization’s secret contact point in Konoha.
The man in black, codenamed “Raven”, was facing the communication crystal, his tone hurried and panicked.
“Master Falcon! The situation is urgent! The threat level of target Lin Feng must be reassessed! He…he is simply a monster!!”
“The second stronghold has also been lost! Our people… have been completely wiped out!!”
“Request instructions! Request a more powerful force to intervene! Otherwise… otherwise our plan may be completely exposed!!”
There was an eerie silence on the other end of the communication crystal.
After a moment, a cold, emotionless voice sounded.
“I understand. I will report the situation to the Lord. Until then, you should stay put and do not act rashly.”
“Yes… yes!!” “Crow” felt as if he had been pardoned, cold sweat instantly soaking his back.
The Third Hokage’s office.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the latest information presented by the Anbu, with a complicated expression on his face.
Are you relieved? Of course you are.
Lin Feng once again helped Konoha eliminate a hidden danger and prevented a possible crisis.
Worried? More on this.
Lin Feng’s actions undoubtedly completely angered the enemies in the dark.
The next counterattack will probably be even more crazy and unpredictable.
“This brat…” Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, with admiration and a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
At the advisory elder’s residence, Utane Koharu and Mitokado En meet again.
“Look! Look! This is the ‘talent’ that Hiruzen let go! He’s simply the disaster of Konoha!!” Utane Koharu was so angry that she was shaking all over.
Mitomon En’s expression was also terribly gloomy: “We must stop him! This kind of uncontrolled power is definitely not a good thing for Konoha!”
The two exchanged a calculating look. Although they were temporarily intimidated by Lin Feng’s strength and dared not act rashly, the dissatisfaction and ambition in their hearts were quietly growing like a poisonous snake.
In the streets and alleys of Konoha, rumors about Lin Feng spread rapidly like wildfire.
“Have you heard? Something happened at the Tonkotsu Paradise Ramen Restaurant! Many people died!”
“It looks like a black market transaction was attacked! The scene is horrible!”
“Do you know who the attacker is?”
“Who else could it be? Apart from that Lord Feng, who else could be so domineering and so neat?!”
“Master Feng?! Are you talking about… Lin Feng?!”
“Hush! Keep your voice down! Call me Master Feng now! One person can destroy a stronghold! The God of Death is coming!!”
“Is this true? So powerful?!”
“How could it be false? My cousin was in the Anbu and saw it with his own eyes! It is said that the wind jutsu traces at the scene were so powerful that even a Jonin couldn’t do it!!”
“Oh my god… Lin Feng… How old is he?!”
“Now it’s time to watch a good show! Those rats in the dark are going to be in big trouble this time!!”
Lin Feng’s name once again became the focus of heated discussion on the streets of Konoha.
His reputation skyrocketed like a rocket, even overshadowing some of the veteran jonin in the village, becoming a well-deserved idol and goal to be pursued by the younger generation of ninjas.
The overall atmosphere of Konoha has become more positive, more tense, and more… restless because of Lin Feng’s presence.
The seventh training ground.
“Senior Lin Feng! Please give me some advice! I want to become stronger! As strong as you!!” Naruto’s eyes were shining, and his enthusiasm was so high that it was almost burning.
Xiaoying also looked at Lin Feng with admiration, her eyes flashing with excitement.
Only Sasuke was standing alone in the corner, with a gloomy face, not saying a word, and exuding a cold aura that kept strangers away.
He stared at Lin Feng, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails almost dug into his palms.
The jealousy and resentment in his heart were like overgrown weeds that almost swallowed him completely.
Why is it him again?!
Why can he always gain power so easily and gain everyone’s attention and awe? !
Why?!
“Lin Feng…” Sasuke screamed in his heart, his teeth chattering. The curse mark on his neck seemed to sense the darkness in his heart and began to stir uncontrollably. The black lines, like a living thing, spread wildly on his pale skin…
Lin Feng walked on the bustling streets of Konoha, feeling the awe-inspiring gazes from the surrounding ninjas and villagers. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, forming an imperceptible arc.
Strength is indeed the best pass and the most effective deterrent.
This feeling of being respected and even a little afraid is not a bad thing.
But he knew very well that this level of strength was far from enough.
A bigger storm is brewing.
Even more terrifying enemies are lurking in the dark.
He needs stronger, stronger, stronger!
[Ding! Mission summary: [Destroy the secret base] Completed! ][Task Rating: A+][Task Rewards: Intermediate Lottery Points*2, Ordinary Lottery Points*80, Fusion Energy Control +2% (Currently 28%), Purification +0.5% (Currently 74%)]The system prompt sound came as expected.
Lin Feng nodded slightly, quite satisfied with this reward.
He returned home and anonymously sent the list of Root remnants and the detailed plan to destroy the medical system to the Hokage’s office again.
Just like before, silent and without a trace.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the scroll that suddenly appeared on the table, and his expression became serious again.
List, plan…
It’s Lin Feng again.
What does this kid want to do?
But this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not hesitate.
He immediately summoned the top Anbu members and launched a secret capture operation based on the information on the list.
A poisoning plot targeting the medicine warehouse of Konoha Hospital was thwarted in time.
Several Root members lurking inside the hospital were secretly arrested by the Anbu.
Although this matter was deliberately suppressed by the top leaders and no details were disclosed to the public, everyone in Konoha’s core circle knew about it. It was Lin Feng’s intelligence that made a great contribution.
The Third Hokage’s view of Lin Feng became increasingly complex and elusive.
He knew it was time to find this guy and have a good talk.
The night in Konoha is still as dark as ink.
But undercurrents are surging and storms are gradually rising.
A bigger crisis is quietly approaching.
And at the center of all this, the young man known as the “Death God” was just standing in his own yard, looking up at the starry sky with calm and deep eyes, as if waiting for the coming, bigger storm.
Chapter 74: Two Evils Attack Lin Feng in Danger (Old Version)
The Black Feather Organization, a dark and damp underground base somewhere.
“Asshole! Trash!!”
The Black Feather leader, codenamed “Falcon”, slammed the intelligence scroll in his hand hard onto the cold stone table, making a dull thud.
The scroll was unfolded, revealing the news that two secret bases of Konoha had been uprooted and key members had died tragically on the spot.
Especially the description of the tragic situation of the ramen restaurant base and the highly directional wind-style destruction marks made the face under the mask of “Falcon” distorted to the extreme.
“Lin Feng… It’s Lin Feng again!!”
Falcon’s voice was hoarse, filled with uncontrollable rage and a hint of… greed.
“Not only did he destroy my base and kill my men, he was able to… absorb the [Black Feather Energy]?!”
This information shocked and excited him far more than the loss of a few strongholds.
That unique [Wind Core] can restrain and even absorb the [Black Feather Energy] that they are proud of. It is simply… the perfect experimental material!
“We must get him! At any cost!”
There was a crazy flame flashing in the eyes of “Falcon”.
Lin Feng’s existence has upgraded from a trouble to the biggest obstacle of the plan, and also the most valuable target!
“Falcon” stood up suddenly and gave orders to his men in the shadows.
“Send ‘Wind Scythe’ and ‘Poison Swamp’ from the [Black Feather Four Heavenly Kings] to Konoha!”
“Target: Lin Feng!”
“Remember, I want him alive! His core will become the cornerstone of my great experiment!”
A respectful response came from the shadows: “Yes! Lord Falcon!”
At the same time, the remnants of the Root hid deeper into their lairs.
“Xiao” was so angry that he was shaking all over when he saw the information reported by his subordinates about Lin Feng’s growing reputation in Konoha and even being dubbed the “God of Killing”.
Shame! This is a slap in the face!
His “owl” face, the root of his face, was both stepped on hard by that little devil!
“Contact the Black Feather Organization.”
The voice of “Xiao” was as cold and sinister as the tongue of a poisonous snake.
“Tell them that I know where the training ground that little bastard Lin Feng often goes to.”
“The condition is… I want him to die! Or, live a life worse than death!”
“In exchange, the Root can provide deeper secrets of Konoha.”
In order to get rid of Lin Feng, the biggest threat to him, he didn’t mind letting a wolf into the house, or even selling out more things.
…
The sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, and the air was filled with the scent of grass and earth.
Lin Feng was closing his eyes and concentrating, trying to more deeply integrate the majestic life energy of [Immortal Body] with the perception and control of the wind element of [Whisper of the Wind God].
He could feel that the power of the wind-style ninjutsu was slowly increasing, and the speed of chakra recovery was becoming more amazing.
Next to him, Naruto was pestering Kakashi, spitting and gesticulating, wanting to learn more powerful ninjutsu.
“Teacher Kakashi! Please teach me something more powerful! Just like Senior Lin Feng, who can kill the bad guys with a swish!”
Xiaoying held her hands to her heart and looked at Lin Feng who was practicing seriously with admiration, her eyes full of little stars.
Only Sasuke was standing alone in the corner of the training ground, his face so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip out of it.
He stared at Lin Feng’s figure. His relaxed posture, his increasingly strong aura, and the awed looks from the people around him were all like poisonous thorns, piercing his heart.
Why can this guy always become stronger so easily? !
Why does he get everyone’s approval? !
Sasuke clenched his teeth, his nails dug deep into his palms, oozing out traces of blood.
The curse mark on his neck felt the darkness and jealousy surging in his owner’s heart and began to become restless. The black lines spread across his pale skin like living poisonous snakes, bringing waves of burning pain and a chilling sense of power.
Kakashi dealt with Naruto lazily, but his eyes never left his three disciples, especially Sasuke, who was obviously in a bad condition, and… Lin Feng, who always made a big noise.
The atmosphere seems relaxed, but there is a sense of oppression as if a storm is about to come.
Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes and his expression changed drastically!
Within the extreme perception range of [Whisper of the Wind God], two extremely dangerous, extremely obscure, yet strongly malicious auras are approaching from two different directions at a terrifying speed!
Almost at the same time, the system alarm in my mind sounded like a sharp buzzer, exploding wildly!
[Warning! Fatal crisis! Detected extremely high energy reaction locking host! Threat level: extremely dangerous! ]“careful!!”
Lin Feng didn’t even have time to explain, he roared with all his strength!
The sound hasn’t fallen yet!
laugh–!!
A black wind blade, so fine that it was almost invisible, yet so fast that it was beyond the limit of vision, was like the scythe of the god of death, silently tearing through the air, with the sharpness that could cut off everything, and went straight to Lin Feng’s heart!
at the same time!
Gurgle… Sizzle…
The ground of the training ground quickly turned black, softened, and sank at a speed visible to the naked eye!
A large area of ​​sticky, smelly black swamp with poisonous bubbles appeared out of nowhere, like a gaping mouth of the abyss, instantly covering the entire activity area of ​​Class 7!
Corrosive poisonous gas spread, and even the air made a sizzling sound as if it was being corroded!
The assassination of “Wind Scythe”!
The realm of “poison swamp”!
The cooperation is perfect and one strike is a sure kill!
Kakashi’s reaction was extremely fast. Almost at the same time when Lin Feng roared, he had already pressed his hands to the ground!
“[Earth Release·Earth Flow Wall]!”
A thick earth wall rose from the ground, just blocking Naruto and Sakura, temporarily preventing the spread of the poisonous swamp.
His left eye instantly turned into a scarlet three-magatama Sharingan, locking onto the unbelievably fast black figure that left a faint afterimage in the air!
“asshole!”
Sasuke also instantly activated the Three-magatama Sharingan, and pushed his pupil power to the extreme, but he could only barely capture the fleeting blurry trajectory of the “Wind Scythe”!
He did not hesitate and formed seals with his hands!
“【Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique】!”
A huge fireball gushed out and slammed hard into the poisonous swamp spreading on the ground. The high temperature evaporated some of the poisonous gas, emitting a pungent burnt smell, but the scope of the poisonous swamp was still expanding!
Lin Feng, who was facing the death assassination, all the hairs on his body stood up in an instant!
The super-strong reaction nerves brought by [Immortal Body], combined with the vague prediction of the attack trajectory by [Whisper of the Wind God], allowed him to make an almost instinctive evasive action between life and death!
The body is twisted at an incredible angle!
The black wind blade almost grazed his chest, and the sharp wind tore his sleeves, leaving a wound on his arm so deep that the bone could be seen!
Blood gushed out instantly!
But what was even more strange was that there was a strong feeling of numbness coming from the wound, as if countless tiny insects were gnawing at the nerves, and the chakra and life energy in the body were being uncontrollably sucked away through the wound by a cold force!
“Oh? You dodged it?”
A voice with a hint of teasing and surprise sounded.
On the treetop at the edge of the training ground, a tall and thin figure dressed in black, with a hideous devil mask on his face and two short sickles flashing with ominous black light appeared. It was the “Wind Sickle”.
In the center of the poisonous swamp, a short and fat ninja with a bloated figure, also wearing a mask and emitting dark green poisonous gas all over his body slowly emerged. He was the “Poison Swamp”.
The powerful sense of oppression emanating from the two men was far greater than any enemy they had encountered before. It was a terrifying aura that belonged to the top of the elite jonin, even touching the threshold of Kage level!
“Tsk, ‘Wind Scythe’, you’re slowing down.”
“Poison Swamp” sneered in a muffled voice.
“Shut up, Poison Swamp, and get down to business.”
“Feng Jian” fixed his cold eyes on Lin Feng, his voice without any emotion.
“Lin Feng, right? Lord Falcon is very interested in you.”
“Come with us.”
“Your core will become the indispensable cornerstone of the great experiment!”
Lin Feng covered the wound that kept giving off a strange sensation and glanced at the two of them sharply.
He could clearly feel that the pure, huge, yet deadly and corrosive [Black Feather Energy] in these two people’s bodies was completely not on the same level as those small fry he had encountered before!
The Four Heavenly Kings of Black Feather!
The real powerful enemy is coming!
The poisonous swamp has turned the entire training ground into a highly toxic area, restricting everyone’s movement and combat space.
Fengjian’s ghostly speed and strange attacks are even harder to defend against.
Teacher Kakashi has to protect Naruto and Sakura, and Sasuke is not strong enough to confront an enemy of this level head-on.
It seems that we have to get serious today.
Lin Feng took a deep breath, his eyes became extremely solemn, the green airflow around him began to rotate faster, and the majestic chakra began to surge violently like a volcano about to erupt.
A fierce battle is inevitable!
Chapter 75: The Black Feather Twins Attack the Forest Wind Purifying Wind (Old Version)
The corners of the mouth under the “Wind Scythe” mask curled up in a cruel arc.
The figure suddenly disappeared!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——!
In the training ground, the black afterimage stretched, split, and flickered like a ghost!
There is no way to capture the real body!
Countless black wind blades that were condensed to the extreme, with soul-tearing screams, shot towards Lin Feng madly from all directions and from every tricky and strange angle!
All the space for dodging is blocked!
“So fast!”
Lin Feng’s pupils contracted.
He used all his strength to activate the [Immortal Body], and the vast life energy flowed through his body like a rushing river. The tiny wounds caused by the black wind blades healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the strange paralysis and suction were also temporarily suppressed.
At the same time, the perception of [Whisper of the Wind God] was raised to the limit. Among the chaotic attack trajectories, he barely captured the most solid and deadly path of the body!
This guy’s speed is ridiculous!
If you just rely on dodging, you will be exhausted to death sooner or later!
Lin Feng’s eyes turned fierce and he decided not to hide anymore!
“【Wind Style: Wind Wall】!”
The cyan-gold chakra suddenly burst out, forming a high-speed rotating, extremely thick whirlwind barrier around him!
Ding ding ding ding ding!!
The ear-piercing, teeth-grinding sound of metal friction rang out frequently!
Countless black wind blades slashed fiercely on the cyan-gold wind wall, causing large sparks!
The wind wall vibrated violently, and deep cuts were made on its surface, but it quickly recovered with the energy of the [Immortal Body]!
Stand your ground!
I’m going to fight you head-on!
“What?! Blocked?!”
On the treetops, “Wind Scythe” reappeared and let out an unbelievable cry.
His [Black Feather Wind Blade] is indestructible, and coupled with his extreme speed, even an elite jonin can only dodge in panic. How dare this kid take it head-on?!
Moreover, he seemed to be able to… predict my attack? !
The defense of that strange wind barrier is too strong!
The attack of “Wind Sickle” couldn’t help but slow down for a moment.
“You idiot! Watch me!”
The “poisonous swamp” below let out a muffled roar and quickly formed seals with both hands!
“【Poison Escape: Thousand Poison Bone-Eroding Rain】!”
Gurgle gurgle!
The sky suddenly became dark, and large amounts of dark green, viscous liquid with a strong stench poured down like heavy rain!
The poisonous rain fell on the ground, instantly corroding deep pits and emitting disgusting white smoke.
The earth wall created by Kakashi was melting rapidly under the poisonous rain, as if it was splashed with strong acid, and it groaned under the heavy burden!
“Wow! It stinks! Cough cough cough!”
Naruto was choked by the poisonous gas and his eyes and nose were streaming, and he coughed desperately.
“No! This toxin… is too corrosive!”
Sakura covered her hands with green chakra, trying to dispel the poisonous gas and purify the contaminated ground, but her medical ninjutsu was of little effect in the face of such large-scale, high-intensity poison escape, like a drop in the bucket.
Pale purple Susanoo ribs appeared around Sasuke’s body, barely protecting himself. However, under the erosion of the poisonous rain, fine cracks began to appear on the solid chakra armor, making a “cracking” sound!
Kakashi’s eyes were solemn, and the kaleidoscope pattern on his left eye was spinning rapidly, ready to use Kamui to transfer the poisonous rain to another dimension.
But the “Wind Scythe” was like a leech, not giving him the chance to cast the spell. Several tricky black wind blades attacked again, forcing Kakashi to respond first, interrupting the activation of Kamui!
When Lin Feng saw the predicament of his teammates, his eyes turned completely cold.
We can’t delay any longer!
This poison-spraying fat guy must be dealt with as soon as possible!
He took a deep breath, and the power of [Wind God’s Whisper] and [Immortal Body] began to merge deeply in an unprecedented way.
The chakra properties of the wind element, under the infusion of majestic life energy, quietly undergoes wonderful changes. It is no longer just cutting and destroying, but instead carries a hint of purifying all things and promoting growth!
It’s like… spring breeze and rain, nourishing all living things!
Lin Feng quickly formed seals with his hands, and the special chakra that was fused in his body surged out!
“【Wind Style: Purifying Wind】!”
He growled.
A majestic green whirlwind full of vitality suddenly spread out in all directions with Lin Feng as the center!
This wind is neither sharp nor violent, but instead carries a warm, gentle and purifying power!
A green whirlwind swept past!
Wherever it went, the foul-smelling poisonous gas melted like ice and snow, and was completely purified and decomposed!
The dark green poisonous rain that fell from the sky was neutralized and decomposed the moment it came into contact with the green whirlwind, evaporating into harmless water vapor!
Even the ground, which had been corroded by the venom and was full of potholes and turned pitch black, miraculously stopped deteriorating. There were even tender green grass buds that trembled and broke through the ground in the breeze, regaining vitality!
[Immortal Body]’s terrifying affinity and control over natural energy are fully demonstrated at this moment!
The fat body of “Poison Swamp” trembled violently, and the expression under the mask was full of horror and disbelief!
His [Poison Escape], the deadly poison that he was so proud of, was actually… actually easily neutralized by this unheard-of weird wind escape? !
Even… faintly restrained? !
What kind of monster is this kid? !
“Now!”
There was a fierce light flashing in the eyes of “Wind Scythe”!
Seize the moment when Lin Feng performs large-scale ninjutsu and his old strength is exhausted but new strength has not yet been generated!
He compressed and condensed all the [Black Feather Energy] in his body onto the double sickles!
“【Wind Style Secret Technique: Black Feather Fatal Slash】!”
Swish——!
A slender, ink-black death wind blade, which condensed the ultimate cutting and corrosive power, silently tore through the space and pierced Lin Feng’s vital point between his eyebrows with the determination to kill!
Fast! Accurate! Ruthless!
Face this fatal blow!
The cyan-gold airflow in Lin Feng’s eyes was spinning wildly!
He also condensed a more dazzling and sharp cyan-gold wind blade!
Face the black blade of death!
Clang——!!
There were no earth-shattering explosions.
There was no energy-filled shock wave either.
The sapphire wind blade and the black wind blade, like two peerless divine weapons, suddenly met in mid-air, and a sharp sound of metal clashing broke out!
Then, a strange scene happened.
The two completely different energies did not collide violently, but instead blended like water and milk, entangling, corroding, and offsetting each other!
The black edge collapsed bit by bit under the purification of the cyan-gold light!
The sharp cyan color gradually dimmed under the corrosion of the black death energy!
In the end, the two terrifying wind blades that were powerful enough to cut through gold and jade disappeared into thin air in the silent annihilation!
puff–!
Lin Feng’s body swayed slightly and he took a half step back to relieve the remaining force of the collision.
However, the “Wind Sickle” opposite him was like a kite with a broken string, and was violently blown back several meters by an invisible force!
When he landed, he staggered back several steps before he could barely keep his balance.
The arm holding the sickle trembled slightly uncontrollably, and for the first time, a look of horror appeared in the eyes beneath the mask!
have equal shares?!
Is he…slightly inferior? !
This unknown Konoha Genin could actually fight against his [Black Feather Death Slash] head-on, and even gain the upper hand? !
Not just “Wind Scythe”.
The “Poison Swamp” on the side was also completely dumbfounded. Its fat body froze in place, as if struck by lightning, and the secretion of dark green venom stopped.
Kakashi, Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke were stunned by the shocking scene before them, and their minds went blank!
Especially Sasuke, he stared at Lin Feng’s figure, his Sharingan spinning wildly, his eyeballs full of bloodshot!
Unwilling!
envy!
anger!
All kinds of negative emotions erupted like a volcano, almost drowning him completely!
Why is it like this again?!
Why can this guy always do things that he dreams of but are out of reach so easily? !
He is unwilling to accept it!
He doesn’t believe it!
He didn’t accept it!!
How could this guy become so strong? !
Chapter 76: Desperate Situation Lottery Turns the Tide (Old Version)
The arm of “Wind Scythe” holding the short sickle was still shaking unconsciously, and the eyes under the mask were full of horror and disbelief.
How is that possible? !
His own [Black Feather Death Slash] was actually defeated head-on by a Konoha Genin? !
He even felt that the opponent’s cyan-gold wind blade contained a kind of… purifying power that could restrain their [Black Feather Energy]!
The “poison swamp” next to it simply shut down. Its fat body became stiff, and it even stopped spraying poison gas, and its brain was buzzing.
Serious intelligence error!
This kid’s strength is not at all that of a fledgling Genin!
That weird wind escape, that terrifying recovery ability, and the power he used to withstand the “Wind Scythe” trick just now… this guy is definitely a monster-level genius!
“Wind Scythe” and “Poison Swamp” stared at each other from a distance, and instantly understood the determination in each other’s eyes.
We can’t hold back any longer!
We must use the strongest force to completely eliminate this variable here!
“It seems that I can only use that trick…”
“Poison Swamp” let out a dull and resentful roar, and suddenly clasped his hands together!
“【Forbidden Technique: All Poisons Return to the Flow】!”
His already bloated and obese body expanded rapidly like a balloon!
Countless disgusting and twisted pustules appeared on the surface of the skin, constantly bursting and spurting out dark green, smelly, and highly corrosive venom!
With him as the center, the ground beneath his feet completely turned into a rolling and boiling poisonous swamp, and its scope expanded wildly, almost completely swallowing up the entire seventh training ground!
The concentration of poisonous gas in the air soared more than tenfold in an instant. It was as sticky as substance and my lungs felt like they were burning and melting when I inhaled it!
The entire space turned into a desperate poisonous zone of death!
“Be careful! This poison…”
Kakashi’s face changed drastically and he quickly reminded him, but it was too late.
The poison gas spreads too quickly and over too wide a range!
“Cough cough cough… It hurts so much…”
Naruto clutched his throat in pain, feeling his breathing become difficult and his vision began to blur.
Sakura tried her best to maintain the medical chakra, but she could only barely protect herself and Naruto, and the chakra was consumed at an alarming speed.
Under the erosion of the poison, Sasuke’s Susanoo ribs made more and more frequent “cracking” sounds, and it seemed that he was about to collapse!
“Hehehe…turn them all into poisonous water!”
The source of poison, the incarnation of the “Poison Swamp”, let out a crazy and hideous laugh.
There was a sharp light flashing in the eyes of “Wind Scythe”, and the short sickles in both hands were crossed in front of his chest. The [Black Feather Energy] in his body was burning wildly at an unprecedented speed!
“[Secret Technique: Black Feather Shadowless]!”
His figure suddenly became illusory and transparent, and finally disappeared completely into the air!
Even Kakashi’s three-magatama Sharingan could only capture a faint fluctuation in space!
Next second!
Chichichichichi——!!!
Inside the training ground, the air was being cut madly by an invisible force!
Dozens of black wind blades, faster, more cunning and more deadly than before, appeared in every corner without warning, like the whisper of the god of death, launching indiscriminate and destructive attacks towards everyone in the field – Lin Feng, Kakashi, Naruto, Sakura, and even Sasuke who was struggling to hold on in the corner!
The speed is so fast that I can’t react at all!
The attacks are so intensive that it’s suffocating!
Kakashi roared, the light of Raikiri bloomed in his hand, and his body moved at high speed, trying desperately to block the wind blades attacking Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke, but he was still in danger, and several deep wounds that could be seen to the bone appeared on his body in an instant!
Sasuke was in an even more miserable state. The ribs of his Susanoo were completely broken, and he could only rely on the dynamic vision of the Sharingan to dodge as much as possible. His arms and thighs were cut with several cuts, and blood was dripping!
The situation is extremely critical!
Lin Feng looked at his companions who were caught in a tough battle, his eyes as cold as ice that had been there for thousands of years.
We must resolve this issue quickly!
If we delay any further, Kakashi-sensei and the others’ lives will be in danger!
His mind raced, and he communicated with the system in his mind without hesitation.
“System! Draw a lottery for me! Use up all the points you can!”
[Received! Consuming advanced lottery points*1, intermediate lottery points*2, and ordinary lottery points*100…][Ding! Regular lottery completed! Obtained: Chakra Recovery Potion (Medium)*50, Strong Detoxification Pill*30, Special Detonating Talisman*100…][Ding! Intermediate lottery completed! Obtained: Passive skills [Illusion Resistance (Advanced)], [Earth Escape·Hardening Mastery]! ][Ding! Advanced lottery starts… Congratulations to the host! Obtained the rare skill – [Wind Elementalization (Primary)]! ][Wind Elementalization (Primary): In a short period of time, the body can be partially or completely transformed into a pure wind element form, immune to most physical attacks and some energy attacks, greatly increasing the power of wind escape ninjutsu and the speed of the body! (Duration: 30 seconds, Cooldown: 1 hour)]A mysterious flow of information and strange energy poured into Lin Feng’s body!
He felt an unprecedented close connection with the omnipresent wind element!
It seems as if I am the wind and the wind is me!
The perception range and accuracy of [Whisper of the Wind God] skyrocketed instantly!
The special chakra that has been integrated into the [Sage Body] in the body becomes more agile and active!
[Fusion energy control degree: increased to 35%! ]The “Wind Sickle” that disappeared without a trace launched another deadly attack!
A black wind blade that was condensed to the extreme and powerful enough to pierce through steel appeared behind Lin Feng as if teleporting and pierced straight into his back!
Fast to the extreme! Cruel to the extreme!
However, facing this fatal blow!
Lin Feng’s mouth curled up in an icy arc.
“Now, it’s my turn.”
[Wind Element]! Activate!
The moment the black wind blade was about to touch Lin Feng’s body, it suddenly turned into an almost transparent, continuously flowing green airflow!
The deadly black wind blade penetrated the green “wind shadow” unhindered, but did not bring up any blood and did not cause any damage!
It was as if I had just passed through a piece of empty air!
“What?!!”
The pupils of the “Wind Scythe” hiding in the dark contracted to the extreme!
The expression beneath the mask was one of unprecedented horror and confusion!
The attack…is ineffective?!
how so?!
His fatal attack actually went straight through? !
This kid… turned into the wind? !
Before he could recover from the huge shock!
The green airflow that turned into wind element instantly appeared behind him at a speed beyond the limit of visual capture!
Faster than the speed he was proud of!
The hairs on Fengjian’s body stood on end, and a fear from the depths of his soul instantly overwhelmed him!
He wants to hide!
But the body simply cannot keep up with the consciousness!
The cyan wind element quickly condensed and compressed, and in Lin Feng’s hand it turned into a sharp spear that flashed with brilliant cyan gold color, as if it was made of real wind!
The spear is entwined with the majestic and vast life energy of the [Immortal Body], and it also faintly exudes a hint of the charm of controlling the laws of wind brought by the [Whisper of the Wind God]!
The cold voice, like the judgment of the god of death, rang in the ears of “Wind Scythe”.
puff!!!
No suspense at all!
The cyan-gold wind element spear, with unparalleled penetrating power, instantly pierced through the heart of the “Wind Scythe”!
“Well……”
“Wind Sickle” lowered his head and looked at the wind gun that pierced his chest in disbelief, his eyes filled with unwillingness and despair.
The violent wind element energy containing the power of purification and cutting suddenly erupted within the “Wind Sickle”!
It was like detonating a small wind-style bomb!
The body of “Wind Scythe”, along with his black feather outfit and hideous mask, were completely torn apart, decomposed, and annihilated in an instant!
It turned into energy particles flying all over the sky and finally dissipated into the air!
One of the Four Black Feather Kings, “Wind Scythe”!
die!
He was killed instantly by Lin Feng, whose strength had skyrocketed!
Chapter 77: The Hokage summons the storm (old version)
Deathly silence enveloped the entire seventh training ground.
The scene of “Wind Scythe” being killed instantly replayed in everyone’s mind like a slow motion.
The black feather energy that was condensed to the extreme, at a speed that was so fast that even Kakashi could hardly fully capture it, just… disappeared?
Not even a slag left?
“Gulp…”
The fat body of the “poison swamp” that turned into a huge source of poison began to tremble violently, and the churning venom stopped.
fear!
Unprecedented fear, like an icy poisonous snake, instantly wrapped around his heart!
Fengjian… is dead?
Was he defeated by this kid in one move? !
run!
Must run!
This thought was like a wild weed that grew wildly, instantly occupying his entire mind!
What task?
What are the Black Feather Four Heavenly Kings?
Fuck you!
I want to live!
The body of the “Poison Swamp” that had expanded to the limit suddenly shrank, trying to transform into a large amount of highly corrosive poisonous fog, spreading in all directions to escape!
As long as a trace of the poisonous fog escapes, he can rebuild his body!
“Want to leave?”
The cold voice seemed to come from the underworld.
Lin Feng maintained the state of [Wind Elementization], and the almost transparent green airflow figure, with a playful arc, instantly appeared in front of the poisonous fog that was about to spread.
Spreading faster than poison fog!
Faster reaction than “Poison Swamp”!
The green wind element suddenly opened up and turned into a giant palm that covered the sky and the sun. Ignoring the corrosiveness of the poisonous fog, it tightly grasped the concentrated poison source core that was trying to escape!
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! Let me go!!”
“Poison Swamp”‘s extremely terrified scream rang out in the wind element’s big hand, but he was firmly imprisoned and unable to move.
“It’s so noisy.”
Lin Feng’s eyes were indifferent, and the power of [Whisper of the Wind God] was quietly activated, mixed with the majestic vitality of [Immortal Body], like an invisible probe, forcibly penetrating into the core of the poison source of the “Poison Swamp”!
Purification!
start!
“Sizzle, sizzle—!!!”
The cyan-gold purifying energy and the dark green poisonous energy began the most direct and violent collision and annihilation!
“ah–!!”
The “Poison Swamp” let out a howl that was ten times more miserable than before!
It was not physical pain, but the poisonous origin on which he depended for survival and was proud of, which was being forcibly stripped away, decomposed and purified by a higher-level force!
It’s like my soul has been sucked out of me!
His consciousness became confused in the severe pain.
But in this chaos, Lin Feng’s [Whisper of the Wind God] accurately captured the key fragments of information leaked from the depths of his subconscious!
“Xiao…sir…root…”
“The deal… is deeper…”
“Konoha…high-level meeting…top secret information…”
“In exchange for…assisting…in seizing power…”
The information is intermittent, but it is enough to piece together a shocking truth!
The leader of the Root remnants, “Owl”, has actually colluded with the Black Feather Organization to this extent!
He even sold out top-secret information from Konoha’s top brass in exchange for the power of the Black Feather Organization, with ulterior motives!
Lin Feng’s eyes suddenly turned cold.
The power of purification suddenly increased!
“Uh… uh…”
The screams of “Poison Swamp” gradually became weaker, and his condensed poison source core quickly became dim and shrunk under the flushing of the cyan-gold light, and finally completely lost all its toxicity, leaving only a weak and almost collapsed chakra source.
“Du Swamp”, once one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Black Feather, has completely become a useless person.
Lin Feng casually threw the energy core that no longer posed a threat to the ground, like throwing away garbage.
He didn’t kill him directly.
Perhaps we can pry more information about “Owl” and the Root out of this guy.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several masked Anbu ninjas appeared silently on the scene, apparently startled by the battle just now.
Seeing the tragic scene and seeing the “Drug Swamp” being easily subdued, the Anbu were all shocked.
“Take him away, keep him under close watch, and try to extract as much intelligence as possible.” Lin Feng gave the order in a calm tone, as natural as if he was ordering his subordinates.
The leading Anbu was stunned for a moment, but seeing Kakashi’s acquiescence beside him and the terrifying aura that had not yet completely dissipated from Lin Feng, he nodded, and immediately stepped forward to seal the remaining chakra of the “Poison Swamp” and took it away.
Until then, Kakashi, Naruto and Sakura looked like they had just been pulled out of the water, gasping for breath, and looking at Lin Feng with eyes full of complexity and shock.
powerful!
So strong!
What was that ability just now?
The body turns into wind?
Instantly killed the abnormally fast “Wind Scythe”?
And easily purified the poison of that disgusting fat man?
Is this really the Lin Feng they know?
Naruto opened his mouth wide, unable to speak for a long time. He just thought Lin Feng was so awesome, awesome plus!
Sakura’s eyes were full of stars, and she looked at Lin Feng with admiration.
Sasuke, on the other hand, had a pale face, his knuckles of his clenched fists were white, and he seemed to feel no pain from the bleeding wounds on his arms.
The Sharingan stared at Lin Feng, and the three magatama were spinning wildly. Jealousy, unwillingness, anger, confusion… all kinds of emotions intertwined together, almost making him lose his mind.
Why……
Why has the gap become so big?!
His proud Sharingan seemed so powerless in front of those two enemies, but Lin Feng… could resolve the battle with ease? !
In Sasuke’s heart, the poisonous snake called jealousy was madly biting at his sanity, but at the same time, a seed called hesitation was quietly planted.
Maybe… he was really wrong?
Lin Feng released the state of [Wind Element] and his body condensed into a solid entity again.
A strong feeling of weakness came over me; the consumption of [Wind Elementalization] was far beyond my imagination.
But in the next second, the majestic vitality of the [Sage Body] surged like a tide, quickly replenishing the consumed chakra and physical strength, and even some minor scratches left by the previous battle were instantly healed.
Instead of weakening, his aura became more solid and profound due to the improvement of his [control over fusion energy].
[Ding! The battle is detected to be over! ][Kill “Kazama” (Elite Jonin level), Rating: S! Obtain advanced lottery points*2, intermediate lottery points*5, a lot of experience points! ][Capture “Poison Swamp” (Elite Jonin Level), Rating: A+! Obtain advanced lottery point*1, intermediate lottery point*3, a lot of experience points! ][Control of fusion energy (wind + immortal body) increased to 38%! ][Purification power (wind + immortal body) purity increased to 78%! 】
The system’s prompt sounded in my mind, bringing generous rewards.
But Lin Feng had no time to be happy at the moment.
His brows were furrowed, alarm bells ringing in his heart.
Root! Owl!
He actually dared to leak information about the high-level meeting to the Black Feather Organization in exchange for external forces interfering in Konoha’s internal affairs!
Their plan is definitely not small!
It might even… threaten the safety of the Third Hokage!
Another Anbu ninja instantly appeared in front of Lin Feng, speaking in a hurried and respectful tone:
“Lin Feng! The Hokage has urgently summoned you!”
Lin Feng’s heart sank. It was exactly as he thought.
“Poison Swamp” and his men attacked Team 7, probably not just for testing or revenge, the deeper purpose was to create an excuse for the Root to attack the high-ranking officials of Konoha!
And I am the target who has been pushed to the forefront!
Lin Feng nodded, his eyes as sharp as a knife.
He immediately followed the Anbu and rushed towards the Hokage Building.
Inside the Hokage’s office.
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in the main seat with a calm expression, but there was an imperceptible solemnity in the depths of his eyes.
The two advisory elders, Utane Koharu and Mitokado En, stood aside with expressionless faces.
Kakashi, Asuma, Kurenai and several other jonin squad leaders were also present, with different expressions on their faces.
As soon as Lin Feng stepped into the office, a stern questioning voice came towards him!
Koharu Utane suddenly turned his head, his old eyes as sharp as a hawk, staring at Lin Feng.
“Do you know your crime?!”
“As a Konoha Genin, you dared to start a war with an unknown powerful enemy in the village without permission! Causing such great damage! Where is the safety of the villagers?!”
“And your strange power! Where did it come from? What is the relationship between you and those attackers?!”
A series of questions came like bombs, each one piercing the heart, and directly put Lin Feng on the trial bench!
Mitomon En immediately echoed in a deep voice:
“Humph! At such a young age, his strength has increased so strangely, and he acts so recklessly and impulsively, without any discipline! Such an uncontrollable person is a huge destabilizing factor for Konoha Village!”
“I believe that he must be thoroughly investigated immediately! His actions must be restricted! He must not be allowed to move freely until the source of his power and his loyalty are found out!”
The two advisory elders sang the same tune and cooperated with each other tacitly, and their words were full of hostility and doubts towards Lin Feng.
Lin Feng stood there, his face calm but his heart cold.
It is true!
The timing for these two old guys to attack was such a coincidence!
This is simply an open conspiracy!
The “Owl” of the Root used the attack of the Black Feather Organization as an introduction, and then through these two old guys who had been in the upper echelons of Konoha for many years, attacked himself and even the Third Hokage!
They wanted to take this opportunity to shake the authority of the third generation, attack themselves as “outliers”, or even directly label themselves as traitors or dangerous elements!
Feeling the suspicious and scrutinizing looks from some of the senior executives in the office, Lin Feng knew that this was not just a plot against him personally.
This is a naked test and attack by the remnants of the Root against the power of the current Hokage!
He has to stay calm.
This crisis must be resolved perfectly!
Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous!
Chapter 78: Verbal Battle with Senior Officials to Prove Innocence (Old Version)
Inside the office, the air seemed to have solidified into sticky glue, making it hard to breathe.
Lin Feng seemed to be fine, and there was even a faint, unpredictable smile on the corner of his mouth.
He first bowed to the Third Hokage in a proper manner, neither humble nor arrogant, and said in a steady voice: “Hokage-sama, everyone, this is what happened.”
“It was the ninjas from the Black Feather Organization who took the initiative to attack the seventh training ground. Their target was none other than me, Lin Feng.”
He paused, and glanced at everyone present. His eyes were calm, but they carried an invisible pressure. “I, Lin Feng, was only forced to fight back in order to protect myself and my companions.”
“Counterattack?” Utane Koharu laughed dryly as if she had heard a joke, her voice was sharp and sarcastic, “A Genin’s counterattack can raze the Seventh Training Ground to the ground? Can it kill an elite Jonin in seconds? Lin Feng, do you think we are all three-year-old children?”
“That’s right!” Mizuto Menyan snorted coldly, his beard almost sticking up to the sky, “It seems to me that you are in cahoots with those attackers, deliberately staging this drama to disrupt the order of the village!”
“You two advisors are joking.” Lin Feng’s tone was still calm, as if he was chatting, “I’m sure you have heard about the strength of the Black Feather Four Heavenly Kings? They are the best among the elite jonin, and can even rival the special jonin.”
“If it weren’t for me, Lin Feng, who luckily mastered some special powers, I’m afraid that Team 7, along with the nearby ninjas, would have been turned into a pile of minced meat.”
“Special power?” Utane Koharu grasped the key words, her eyes becoming even more sinister, “Humph, I think it’s more like sorcery! Power from unknown sources, if left in the village, will sooner or later become a disaster!”
“Enough!” The Third Hokage, who had been silent, finally spoke.
The voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable majesty that instantly suppressed the noise in the office.
He raised his head, looked at Lin Feng deeply, and said slowly: “Lin Feng, the doubts of the two consultants are not without reason. Your power is indeed somewhat…special.”
“But I believe you.” The Third Hokage changed the subject and his tone became gentler. “Before there is solid evidence, I don’t want anyone to jump to conclusions.”
“Thank you for your trust, Hokage!” Lin Feng bowed again, but sneered in his heart.
Old man, playing with balance, right?
You have to appease the advisory elders and win over a “talent” like me. Thank you for your hard work.
“However, the words of the two consultants also reminded me.” Lin Feng changed the subject and looked at Utane Koharu and Mitokado En, with a meaningful arc at the corner of his mouth.
“You two adults just asked, why did those enemies target a little Genin like me?”
“That’s a good question!” Lin Feng answered himself, his voice suddenly raised, with a hint of questioning, “I also want to know, where did the Black Feather Organization get its information from? How can they grasp my whereabouts so accurately, and even know the place where I practice daily?”
“Could it be that…” Lin Feng deliberately dragged out his voice, his eyes sharply sweeping over everyone present, especially Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En, “Is there a traitor in our Konoha Village? Moreover, he is in a high position and has access to the whereabouts of elite jonin?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the office instantly became more solemn, and the air seemed to freeze.
Many people’s eyes began to wander over Utane Koharu and Mitokado En.
After all, the status of these two advisory elders in the village is second only to the Hokage.
Naturally, the confidential information they can access is far beyond that of ordinary people.
“You are slandering me!” Utane Koharu’s face instantly turned the color of liver, and he slammed the table with a loud bang. “Lin Feng! Stop slandering me here and look away!”
“My loyalty to the village is known to all. How can I allow a young boy like you to slander me?”
“That’s right!” Mizuto Menyan also blew his beard and glared, furious, “Lin Feng, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want! Without any evidence, you dare to make random accusations and slander the top management. Do you still have rules and laws in your eyes?”
“Evidence? You two gentlemen want evidence, right?” Lin Feng smiled slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his smile.
He pulled out a stack of papers from his pocket, which were the copies of the “Root Remnant Party List” and “Medical System Destruction Plan” seized from the second Root stronghold that he had anonymously handed over to the Third Hokage. (The key information was naturally cleverly concealed by him.)
“Ladies and gentlemen, please take a look.” Lin Feng handed the document to Kakashi and motioned him to distribute it to the others present.
“What is this?” Utane Koharu frowned, looking impatient.
Mizuto Menyan also looked confused. He took the document, glanced at it roughly, and his expression suddenly changed.
“A list of the remnants of the Root?” He exclaimed, his voice a little out of tune.
“That’s right.” Lin Feng’s voice turned cold again. “This is me, Lin Feng. Some time ago, I risked my life to sneak into the base of the remnants of the Root. I managed to get it after escaping death.”
“It contains a detailed list of the members of the Root remnants, as well as a series of plots they are planning to harm Konoha!”
“This includes the plan to destroy the village’s medical system that I thwarted before!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on the Third Hokage, waiting for his confirmation.
The Third Hokage nodded slowly, his tone heavy: “What Lin Feng said is true. I have already read this information, it is indeed a confidential document of the remnants of the Root.”
“It was thanks to this intelligence that we were able to thwart the Root remnants’ conspiracy against the hospital in time and avoid a huge crisis.”
“Lin Feng, you have made an indispensable contribution this time.” The Third Hokage looked at Lin Feng with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
The situation reversed in an instant!
The advisory elder who had been criticizing Lin Feng suddenly fell silent.
The other senior executives also looked at Lin Feng with surprise and admiration.
No one expected that this usually unknown Genin would have made such a great contribution!
More importantly, Lin Feng’s information directly points to the remnants of the root party!
And the roots…
Who among those present is not aware of the delicate relationship between the Root and the two advisory elders?
For a moment, the seeds of doubt were quietly planted in everyone’s hearts.
Lin Feng took advantage of the victory and said in a deep voice: “My Lords, there is one more thing that you may not know yet.”
“Just now, I got some… interesting information from the captured Black Feather King ‘Poison Swamp’.”
“‘Du Numa’ admitted personally that there is a deeper deal between ‘Owl’, the leader of the Root remnants, and the Black Feather Organization.”
“They even…even leaked the top-secret information of Konoha’s high-level meeting in exchange for the power of the Black Feather Organization. They have evil intentions!”
“What?!” Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En jumped up from their chairs as if they were struck by lightning, their faces pale and their bodies trembling.
“Top secret information?!” Utane Koharu screamed, her voice breaking. “This is impossible! How dare Owl… How dare he do such a thing!”
Mitomon Yan was also panicked and waved his hands to deny it hastily: “Impossible! This must be slander! It’s a frame-up! I have nothing to do with the Root and the ‘Owl’!”
“Don’t get excited, my two advisors.” Lin Feng’s mouth curled up slightly, with a playful smile, “I was just repeating what the Poison Swamp said. As for whether it’s true or not, further investigation is needed.”
“But…” Lin Feng looked at the two consultants meaningfully, “If Xiao really leaked high-level secrets, then this matter is extremely serious.”
The Third Hokage looked at the whole audience with a sharp gaze and said in a deep voice: “This is a serious matter and must be thoroughly investigated!”
“I hereby declare that a special investigation team will be established immediately, led by me personally, to thoroughly investigate the remnants of the Root Party and all forces that are colluding with them!”
“Anbu, fully cooperate with the investigation team!”
“Lin Feng, the clues you provided this time are crucial. The village will remember your contribution.” The Third Hokage finally looked at Lin Feng, his tone softened with a hint of praise.
Lin Feng bowed again, with a barely perceptible smile on his face.
This wave not only perfectly cleared the suspicion, but also promoted the elimination of the remaining remnants of the party.
The two advisory elders, you have lost more than you gained, you must be regretting it now, right?
Chapter 79 The Dust Settles Wind Core Mutation (Old Version)
Inside the Hokage’s office, as the Third Hokage made the final decision, the extremely oppressive atmosphere finally relaxed a little.
Utane Koharu and Mitomon En’s faces turned pale, their lips trembled, but they couldn’t utter a word.
They had carefully planned the attack, and originally wanted to use the Black Feather Organization to completely suppress Lin Feng, the “outlier”, and even implicate three generations and shake their authority.
Who could have thought that this kid Lin Feng was not only unharmed, but was able to turn the tables!
He obtained intelligence on the remnants of the party and directed the blame directly to their possible “collusion”!
Now, the third generation has personally set up an investigation team. Even if they are not guilty, they will still be skinned alive!
The attempt to steal a chicken ends up with the loss of the rice!
I regret it so much!
The way the other jonin present looked at Lin Feng also changed completely.
It was no longer just surprise, but a bit more awe and recognition.
This Genin is not simple!
Not only is his strength insanely strong, his intelligence is far beyond his peers. Faced with the joint attack of two advisory elders, he was able to resolve it so calmly and even turned the tables!
“Okay, that’s settled.”
The Third Hokage stood up and scanned the entire audience with unquestionable majesty.
“Kakashi, take Lin Feng back to rest first. Everyone else, do your job. I will notify you later about the investigation team.”
Everyone responded in unison.
Lin Feng bowed to the Third Hokage again and followed Kakashi out of the Hokage’s office.
Walking out of the building and basking in the sunshine, Lin Feng breathed a long sigh of relief.
Just now in the office, although I appeared calm on the surface, I was actually extremely nervous.
The game between high-level officials is thrilling at every step.
If you are not careful, you may be doomed.
Fortunately, he had the cards in hand and played them just right.
Kakashi’s lazy voice sounded beside him, and the corners of his mouth under the mask seemed to curl up.
“Faced with the pressure from those two old guys, he was able to stay calm and fight back. That’s quite something.”
“Thank you for the praise, teacher.”
Lin Feng smiled.
“I’m just telling the truth.”
Kakashi didn’t say anything else, just patted Lin Feng on the shoulder.
Shortly after returning home, Lin Feng was preparing to count the gains from this battle and confrontation when an Anbu quietly appeared again.
“Lin Feng, Lord Hokage asks you to go over alone.”
Coming again?
Lin Feng raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the old man had something to say to him alone.
He followed the ANBU and came to the Hokage’s office again.
This time, the Third Hokage was the only one in the office.
He motioned Lin Feng to sit down and poured him a cup of tea himself. The atmosphere became much more relaxed than before.
The Third Hokage took a puff of his pipe and spoke slowly, his tone filled with emotion.
“Today’s events are all thanks to you. Not only did you thwart the enemy’s attack, but you also provided key clues for clearing out the remnants of the Root.”
“This is what I should do, Hokage-sama.”
Lin Feng picked up the teacup and took a sip.
“but……”
The third generation changed the subject and his eyes became serious.
“The affairs of the Root and the Black Feather Organization are far more complicated than you think. The undercurrents within Konoha cannot be cleared up in a day or two.”
“You showed off your talents this time. Although you have temporarily deterred the villains, you will definitely be targeted by more people. You must be more cautious in your future actions.”
“I understand. Thank you for the reminder, Hokage-sama.”
Lin Feng nodded.
Of course he knew that this time he had only temporarily suppressed Utane Koharu and Mitokado En, but the cancer at the root and the “Owl” hiding behind the scenes would never give up.
“About that ‘poisonous swamp’…”
The Third Hokage frowned slightly.
“We interrogated him, but the results were limited. His mind seemed to be protected by some secret technique, and it was difficult to pry open his mouth.”
“However, when a name and a code name of a project were mentioned, his reaction was extremely intense.”
“Oh? What is it?”
“The name is ‘Falcon’, and the code name is [The Advent of the Wind God].”
The Third Hokage said in a deep voice.
“Falcon… the God of Wind has arrived…”
Lin Feng’s pupils shrank slightly, and he kept these two words firmly in his mind.
“Falcon” should be the leader behind the Black Feather Organization.
And [The Wind God Arrives]…
This code name immediately reminded him of the [Wind Core] and [Whisper of the Wind God] in his body!
Could it be that the Black Feather Organization’s goal is related to my own abilities?
Or does their plan involve some powerful force related to the wind?
A strong premonition came over me.
There is definitely a huge secret hidden behind this!
After bidding farewell to the Third Hokage, Lin Feng returned home and immediately sat cross-legged, sinking his mind into his body.
He needs to study his [Wind Core] carefully!
Looking inward, the green core in the Dantian Qi Sea, which was originally a little illusory, now became extremely solid and pure.
The surface of the core flows with a faint cyan-gold luster, emitting majestic and pure wind-attribute chakra.
The battles with the “Wind Scythe” and the “Poison Swamp”, especially the final process of purifying the “Poison Swamp”, seemed to have caused some kind of transformation in the [Wind Core].
Lin Feng felt it carefully.
He discovered that the [Wind Core] was not only the source of chakra, but more like an information processor!
It slowly and continuously absorbs the ubiquitous wind element information from the outside world – the flow of air, changes in wind pressure, air humidity…
After being analyzed by the core, these information were transformed into an almost instinctive intuition through the ability of [Whisper of the Wind God] and fed back to Lin Feng.
This is the key to his ability to predict the enemy’s attack trajectory, skillfully control the wind element, and even unleash [Wind Elementalization]!
What Lin Feng is more concerned about is that the core’s purification efficiency of [Black Feather Energy] has indeed improved!
The feeling of overwhelming power when purifying the “poisonous swamp” before was not an illusion.
The purification degree displayed on the system panel has reached 78%!
However, the purified [Black Feather Energy] did not disappear out of thin air.
Lin Feng could feel that they were transformed into a very special energy nutrient by the [Core of Wind]. Part of it nourished the core itself, making it more solid and pure; the other part was integrated into the [Immortal Body], strengthening his physique and vitality!
[Ding! The host’s research on the core of wind and black feather energy has been detected to be deepening! ][Tip: When the Black Feather Energy purification reaches 80%, the Wind Core may unlock hidden features or derive variant skills related to Black Feather Energy! ]really!
Lin Feng’s eyes lit up.
Purifying the [Black Feather Energy] can not only weaken the enemy, but also strengthen yourself!
This business is a huge profit!
He tried to actively guide the [Core of Wind] and absorb the free natural energy in the air.
The core vibrated slightly, and the absorption efficiency was several times faster than before!
[Sage Body] also resonated accordingly, and the total amount of chakra and recovery speed in the body began to increase slowly and steadily again!
“Try this…”
Lin Feng’s mind moved, and he mobilized his chakra to condense a [Wind Style: Wind Blade].
Then, he tried to slowly inject the vital energy of the [Immortal Body] into it.
A faint golden halo suddenly appeared on the edge of the green wind blade!
The size and cutting force of the wind blade did not seem to have changed significantly, but Lin Feng felt a completely different aura from it.
That is… destroying evil!
It has evil-breaking properties that specifically restrain negative energy and foul forces!
“【Wind Core】, 【Whisper of the Wind God】, 【Immortal Body】…”
Lin Feng muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
The combination of these three is a match made in heaven!
Its potential is absolutely beyond imagination!
What he has shown now is probably just the tip of the iceberg!
Boom boom boom.
There was a knock on the door.
Lin Feng dispersed the wind blade, stood up and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was Kakashi.
“Yo.”
Kakashi greeted him, but his eyes were not as lazy as usual, but instead contained a hint of inquiry and wonder.
“You recovered pretty quickly.”
He walked into the room and his eyes fell on Lin Feng.
“You kid…what happened to that [Wind Elementalization] move today?”
Kakashi’s tone turned serious.
“I have never seen or heard of the ability to almost completely transform the body into energy. Lin Feng, tell me honestly, this power… is there any hidden danger?”
Here it comes.
Lin Feng knew very well that Kakashi would definitely ask this.
“Teacher, this…”
Lin Feng scratched his head and gave an expression that said, “I don’t know how to explain it either.”
“It’s probably some kind of adventure, plus a little bit of blood awakening, right? I’m still figuring it out myself.”
He explained half-truthfully.
The system and the identity of the traverser are cards that must never be exposed.
Kakashi looked at Lin Feng deeply, obviously not completely believing this statement.
But he didn’t ask any further questions.
Everyone has their own secrets.
“All right.”
Kakashi sighed.
“Since you don’t want to say it, I won’t force you. But you have to remember that although a move like [Wind Elementalization] is powerful, it will also consume a lot of energy, and the risks are unknown. Don’t abuse it unless it’s absolutely necessary.”
“Yes, teacher, I remember it.”
Lin Feng nodded seriously.
He was aware of Kakashi’s concerns, and he also understood that his own power system, which came from the system, was fundamentally different from the ninja system in the Naruto world.
Hiding yourself is the first priority for survival.
After seeing Kakashi off, Lin Feng fell into deep thought again.
The initial exploration of the mystery of the [Core of Wind] gave him a clearer plan for his future cultivation direction.
The most urgent task is to increase the purification degree of [Black Feather Energy] to over 80% as soon as possible to see what hidden features or mutant skills can be unlocked.
At the same time, we must also find ways to obtain more information about the “Falcon” and the “Wind God’s Advent” plan.
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.
The Black Feather Organization, the remnants of the Root…
These threats lurking inside and outside Konoha must be eliminated as soon as possible!
Lin Feng clenched his fists, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
Chapter 80: Undercurrents of Calmness (Old Version)
The turmoil caused by the series of battles and wrangling among high-level officials has finally subsided temporarily.
Konoha Village, at least on the surface, has returned to its former tranquility.
For Lin Feng, this was a godsend, a precious period of time to breathe and practice.
He was not idle, but plunged into the in-depth development of his own abilities.
The seventh training ground is now his exclusive territory.
“call……”
Lin Feng took a deep breath, and his chakra surged.
The body suddenly became illusory and turned into a flowing green whirlwind, and the air around it began to distort.
[Wind Element]!
At the beginning, this state could only be maintained for a few seconds, and it was normal that it could not be handsome for more than three seconds.
But who is Lin Feng?
The hard-working emperor and the cheating one!
Tried again and again, exhausted again and again.
The blue whirlwind was swaying unsteadily at first and could only “stand still” on the spot, but gradually it was able to move erratically on the training ground, and then tried to condense wind blades with greatly reduced power in the elemental state.
The progress is visible to the naked eye.
“More than ten seconds…”
Lin Feng released his state, took a slight breath, and felt the consumption of chakra in his body.
This move is simply a chakra crusher, and the mental strength is also stretched to a taut level.
He discovered that [Wind Elementalization] was not only almost immune to physical attacks, but also had a good resistance to illusions.
My brain is turning into wind, what’s the use of your illusion?
Of course, the disadvantages are also obvious.
Not only was the consumption huge, Lin Feng keenly felt that this state was not invincible.
If you encounter some special sealing techniques, or powerful lightning techniques that restrain wind attributes, such as Kakashi’s Raikiri, it would be absolutely a brain-wrecking experience to resist them.
But it’s not a big problem!
【Immortal Body】Do you know more?
“Come again!”
Lin Feng’s eyes were determined and he activated his chakra again.
Squeeze, recover, and squeeze again!
This kind of extreme pulling training is so painful.
Every time the chakra is restored after being depleted, the cells of the [Sage Body] cheer and greedily absorb energy, becoming more resilient and full of vitality.
The progress bar of [Fusion Energy Control] was also crawling forward at a snail’s pace but steadily – 35%… 38%… finally breaking through the 40% mark!
The total amount and purity of chakra are increasing rapidly.
On the other side, the other members of Class 7 were not idle either.
Naruto was so stimulated by Lin Feng’s inhuman fighting power that he screamed.
It’s almost life-threatening to practice it.
“Teacher Kakashi! Please teach me some more powerful ninjutsu! I want to surpass that guy Lin Feng!”
On the training ground, Naruto, with dark circles under his eyes, was still full of energy and pestering Kakashi.
Unable to learn any new tricks, he ran to find Lin Feng.
“Lin Feng! Let’s practice!”
And then… nothing happened.
Usually Naruto would rush forward excitedly, and then be easily knocked down by Lin Feng using all kinds of incredible angles and methods.
But this kid doesn’t remember being beaten. Every time he gets beaten, he just brushes the dirt off and happily says he’ll come again tomorrow.
He has the potential to be a complete M.
Sasuke is at the other extreme.
He almost never showed up at the group training of Team 7 anymore, and instead went to the Valley of the End alone.
That place was gloomy, solemn, and filled with a sense of fate.
Kakashi went to see Sasuke once, and saw that Sasuke was emitting ominous purple chakra, the curse seal on his neck was faintly visible, and his eyes were frighteningly cold, as if he wanted to tear everything around him to pieces.
He is actively guiding the power of the curse!
His strength increased at an alarming speed, but his coldness and paranoia were like a maggot on the tarsal bone, sinking deeper and deeper.
“Sasuke…”
Kakashi tried to persuade him, but facing those eyes filled with revenge and determination, any words seemed pale and powerless.
He could only leave with a sigh, feeling even more worried.
In comparison, Sakura is much more “normal”.
She devoted most of her energy to the study and theoretical research of medical ninjutsu.
Piles of notes recorded in detail the changes in Lin Feng’s physical data after each battle, as well as the subsequent conditions of the villagers affected by the [Energy Rain].
She hopes to find a way to completely cure the sequelae.
Occasionally, she would appear at Lin Feng’s door with a red face and a food box.
“Lin Fengjun, this is the nutritious meal I made. You, you have worked hard in training, you need to replenish your nutrition…”
A girl’s mind is simple and pure.
Kakashi saw all this and felt mixed emotions.
I am happy about the growth of my children, but I am also worried about the paths they will choose.
He wanted to balance guidance, but felt a little overwhelmed.
This class of naughty kids is so hard to deal with!
During breaks in training, Lin Feng would occasionally give Naruto some pointers.
“Naruto, to control chakra, you don’t just rely on brute force to ‘squeeze’ it, you have to ‘feel’ it, as natural as breathing, feeling the flow of the wind…”
He combined his understanding of energy flow from [Whisper of the Wind God] and gave some unconventional suggestions.
Unexpectedly, the effect was so good.
Naruto, who is usually a careless guy, has made great progress in chakra control under Lin Feng’s guidance, and even his clone technique has become much more solid.
“Wow! Lin Feng you are amazing! It’s even better than what Kakashi taught me!”
Naruto had a look of admiration on his face, his eyes sparkling with stars.
One evening, Kakashi suffered a rare heavy bleeding, so he invited Team 7 to treat him to a meal.
Place?
Of course it’s Ichiraku Ramen.
The steaming hot ramen dispelled the fatigue from training.
Naruto was holding a bowl that was bigger than his face, eating with relish, and kept asking for another bowl.
Sasuke actually came as well. Although he still looked cold, at least he was sitting there quietly eating noodles and was not absent.
Sakura carefully handed out tissues and poured tea to everyone with a gentle smile on her face.
Lin Feng looked at the scene in front of him, Naruto’s noisy voice, Sasuke’s rare silence, Sakura’s gentleness, and Kakashi’s lazy but concerned eyes…
A long-lost calmness and warmth quietly spread in my heart.
That’s great.
However, beneath the calm surface of the water, undercurrents never stop surging.
The special investigation team led by the Third Hokage himself had an extremely difficult time clearing out the remnants of the Root.
The resistance is huge!
Many clues were lost during the investigation.
Or it could be pointing to some complex and deeply hidden forces within Konoha.
Even some old families with a long history are involved.
This water is very deep!
At the same time, the Black Feather Organization seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, leaving no trace.
But Lin Feng’s [Whisper of the Wind God] would occasionally inadvertently capture a very subtle and fleeting fluctuation of [Black Feather Energy].
That feeling was cold and sticky, like a poisonous snake lurking in the deepest shadows, ready to bite you at any time.
They are still here!
Just as Lin Feng was trying his best to improve his strength and was on guard against potential threats, the long-lost system mall was refreshed.
Among the dazzling array of goods, a strange item with an absurdly high price caught his attention.
[Boundary Breaking Talisman (Fragment)]The item icon is a gray jade symbol with irregular edges and cracks, emitting faint spatial fluctuations.
The introduction was even more vague, with only a few words: “The broken runes seem to contain a power that transcends boundaries…”
The price requires a full 100,000 points!
Lin Feng’s entire net worth now only barely adds up to a fraction of that.
“Breaking the boundary…crossing the boundary?”
Lin Feng frowned and muttered to himself.
What is this thing used for?
He had a vague feeling that this thing was not simple.
The temporary calm is nothing more than a brief depression before the storm.
The poisonous snake of the root remnants is still lurking in the dark.
The Black Feather Organization, the mysterious “Falcon”, and the “Advent of the Wind God” plan are more like a heavy iceberg, with only a dangerous corner exposed.
A bigger crisis may come at any time.
Must be faster! Stronger!
Lin Feng clenched his fists, feeling the chakra surging in his body and the rhythm coming from the [Wind Core].
There is no time to waste.
Chapter 81: Ordered to Chase the Murderer in a Time of Crisis (Old Version)
In Konoha Village, the afterglow of the setting sun barely gave the streets a warm hue.
But this layer of false warmth could not dispel the chill in Lin Feng’s heart.
calm?
Damn peace!
The scene of the seventh training ground being bombed into ruins seemed to be still before my eyes.
The air seemed to still contain the desperate roar of “Wind Scythe” before his death.
The group of rats hiding in the gutter at the root and the Black Feather Organization that was hiding its head and showing its tail were like two sharp blades that could be unsheathed at any time, pressing against his back.
Lin Feng knew better than anyone that this superficial tranquility was as fragile as a layer of thin paper and would break with a single poke.
He did not relax at all, but pushed himself even harder.
The seventh training ground has now truly become his private venue.
The spaciousness and silence were perfect for his extreme training.
“call–“
Lin Feng exhaled a breath of foul air, and the chakra in his body boiled instantly.
Green light surged wildly around him, and his body began to become illusory and distorted, eventually transforming completely into a rapidly spinning green whirlwind.
At first, this tactic seemed flashy and impractical.
It looks really good, but it lasts shockingly short, just like a “one-second real man”.
But now, things are different.
“Ten seconds…”
“Fifteen seconds…”
“Twenty seconds!”
The green whirlwind moved at high speed on the training ground, bringing up gusts of wind and stirring up the dust on the ground.
Lin Feng could clearly feel that his control over [Wind Elementization] was becoming more and more proficient, and its duration was also steadily increasing.
This is all thanks to the abnormal recovery ability of the [Immortal Body].
Drain the chakra?
It doesn’t matter, [Immortal Body] will replenish it for you in minutes!
Mental overdraft?
You will be fully revived after a good sleep!
If it were someone else, they would have collapsed long ago after such life-threatening extreme training, but he, Lin Feng, became more and more courageous as the battle went on. He was simply a human perpetual motion machine.
“Purification rate… 79%…”
Lin Feng released the [Wind Element], took a slight breath, and his eyes fell on the system panel.
The degree of purification of [Black Feather Energy] has approached the 80% mark.
He had a vague feeling that once this critical point was broken, [Core of Wind] would experience a qualitative leap.
“Just a little bit more…”
Lin Feng’s eyes were determined and he entered the state of cultivation again.
Extreme squeeze, crazy improvement!
Time passed quickly during his almost self-abuse training.
[Control over fusion energy] is also slowly climbing up bit by bit.
40%……
40.5%……
41%……
Finally, it broke through the 41% mark!
Lin Feng could feel that the total amount of chakra in his body had once again experienced a slight increase.
The power is getting stronger and stronger!
However, just as Lin Feng was immersed in the joy of his improved strength, a depressing atmosphere quietly enveloped the entire Konoha Village.
The special investigation team led by the Third Hokage himself encountered unprecedented resistance.
The cunningness of the root remnants is far beyond imagination.
They are like a group of ghosts, appearing and disappearing mysteriously and difficult to track.
What’s worse, there seemed to be problems within the investigation team.
Some key clues were inexplicably lost halfway through the investigation.
The ninjas in charge of the investigation either died suddenly or disappeared mysteriously.
The entire investigation has come to a standstill.
“Lin Feng, the Hokage wants to see you.”
In the evening, an Anbu ninja suddenly appeared, breaking the silence of the training ground.
Lin Feng frowned slightly, sensing something.
The atmosphere was extremely solemn.
The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, had a face so gloomy that it looked as if water was about to drip from it, and the smoke from his pipe was several times thicker than usual.
“Lin Feng, sit down.”
The Third Hokage pointed to the seat opposite him, his voice low and hoarse with a hint of fatigue.
Lin Feng sat down as he was told and waited quietly for what was to come.
“The investigation… encountered trouble.”
The Third Hokage came straight to the point, his tone heavy.
“The remnants of the Root are more deeply rooted than imagined. Their power has infiltrated every corner of Konoha.”
“The investigation team has tried their best, but with little success. The clues have been interrupted frequently, and there are even people who are secretly obstructing the investigation.”
The words of the Third Hokage made Lin Feng’s heart tremble.
Internal resistance?
It seems that the influence of the roots is more terrible than he imagined.
“Where are those captured Root ninjas?” Lin Feng asked.
“They are very stubborn. We have tried many methods but failed to pry their mouths open.” The Third Hokage sighed, “Moreover, some people… suddenly died during the interrogation, as if they were silenced.”
“Silence?” Lin Feng’s eyes turned cold.
“Yes.” The Third Hokage nodded, “The method was very professional, clean and neat, leaving no trace. It seems that there is a more powerful force behind the Root.”
“What about ‘Poison Swamp’? Didn’t he reveal some information about ‘Owl’ and the Black Feather Organization?” Lin Feng asked.
“‘Poison Swamp’… his mind seems to be protected by some secret technique, and he can only speak some fragmented information intermittently.” The Third Hokage rubbed his brows, “However, what is certain is that ‘Owl’ and the Black Feather Organization are indeed colluding with each other, and the depth of their cooperation is far beyond our previous estimates.”
The Third Hokage raised his head and looked at Lin Feng sharply.
“Lin Feng, I need your help.”
“My help?” Lin Feng was a little surprised.
“Your [Whisper of the Wind God] has extraordinary perception ability, and may be able to find some clues that ordinary ninjas cannot detect.” The Third Hokage said solemnly, “And your power of purification has a special inhibitory effect on [Black Feather Energy].”
“I would like to ask you to secretly assist the special investigation team to track down the clues of the remnants of the Root and the Black Feather Organization from the dark, especially the clues about the [Advent of the Wind God] plan.”
“Secret mission?” Lin Feng raised his eyebrows.
“That’s right. You must keep it strictly confidential. No one can know your official identity.” The Third Hokage emphasized, “I will give you certain permissions. You can access some confidential files. If necessary, you can mobilize some peripheral forces of the Anbu, but all actions must be kept secret.”
“The mission… is very dangerous, right?” Lin Feng said bluntly.
“It’s very dangerous.” The Third Hokage admitted frankly, “You will not only face the cunning remnants of the Root and the mysterious Black Feather Organization, but also enemies that may be hidden within Konoha.”
“Even… the leader of the Black Feather Organization, ‘Falcon’, is an extremely dangerous guy.”
Lin Feng was silent for a moment, raised his head, and looked at the Third Hokage with a firm gaze.
“I accept.”
Without any hesitation, quick and decisive.
This is not only a responsibility, but also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Trace the clues of the root and the Black Feather Organization, gain a deeper understanding of the [Wind God Advent] plan, and find the source of [Black Feather Energy]…
All of this is closely related to him.
Moreover, only by going deep behind enemy lines can you better improve your own strength and better protect what you want to protect.
“Good!” A trace of appreciation flashed in the eyes of the Third Hokage, “I knew you wouldn’t let me down.”
“But you must remember to be careful. Protecting yourself is the most important thing.” The Third Hokage reminded again, “Especially… the enemies within.”
Lin Feng nodded, stood up, and bowed deeply to the Third Hokage.
“Hokage-sama, I understand.”
When I walked out of the Hokage’s office, the sunset had already completely sunk into the horizon.
As night fell, Konoha Village was shrouded in darkness.
Lin Feng felt that the burden on his shoulders had become heavier.
Instead of going home, he went directly to the ANBU headquarters.
With the special permissions granted by the Third Hokage, he began to review files on the history of the Root, known strongholds, missing ninjas, and recent suspicious events.
Lines of cold words and dusty names slowly came together in his mind like pieces of a puzzle.
[Whisper of the Wind God] was pushed to its limit by him.
The perception range, like invisible tentacle, extends to the entire Konoha Village, exploring every corner.
He wanted to “monitor” the energy flow of the entire Konoha and capture any abnormal fluctuations, especially… traces of [Black Feather Energy].
The night is long and dark.
But Lin Feng knew that dawn would eventually come.
And he will be the first sharp blade to cut through this darkness!
Chapter 82: Ambush in the Wasteland (Old Version)
The air in the archives room of the Anbu headquarters was heavy and filled with the smell of paper and dust.
Lin Feng has been here for several days.
He flipped through piles of files that recorded the history of the Root, known locations, lists of missing persons, and various suspicious events that had occurred in Konoha recently.
The cold words and the dusty past gradually took on a vague outline in his eyes.
For several days in a row, he pushed [Whisper of the Wind God] to its extreme, and his perception was like an invisible spider web, covering every corner of Konoha Village, monitoring the flow of energy.
Finally, he connected some seemingly unrelated clues together.
There were several Root ninjas whose whereabouts were unknown. The area they were last seen in strangely pointed to the edge of the village, a long-abandoned third training ground.
coincide?
Lin Feng didn’t believe it.
What made him even more alarmed was that every time when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, [Whisper of the Wind God] could always detect extremely weak abnormal chakra fluctuations coming from that area.
The fluctuation was fleeting, and it was not the [Black Feather Energy] he was familiar with, but it carried the same coldness and weirdness.
There is a problem!
There is definitely a problem!
A sharp light flashed in Lin Feng’s eyes, and he decided to go there in person.
It was a dark and windy night, a time for murder and arson.
He didn’t alert anyone, not even Kakashi.
The night was his best cover.
Lin Feng’s body shook, and became somewhat illusory, as if blending into the night wind, and he sneaked silently towards the third training ground.
The newly upgraded [Wind Elementalization], although it cannot maintain its complete form for a long time, is a magical skill when used for stealth.
Near the outskirts of the abandoned training ground.
Lin Feng paused slightly.
[Wind God’s Whisper] clearly fed back information – there are at least five hidden warning traps ahead.
Explosive talismans, tripwires, and fine needles coated with paralyzing toxins…they were arranged quite professionally.
Lin Feng sneered.
A trifle.
He didn’t even need to release it. With a slight movement of his mind, a few wisps of breeze wrapped around it, like the most dexterous fingers, gently adjusting the angle of the trip wire and changing the subtle airflow under the pressure plate.
The whole process was silent.
The trap has become a decoration.
Like a ghost, he easily passed through the cordon and stepped into the training ground.
The overgrown grass and dilapidated training facilities cast distorted shadows in the moonlight.
There was a faint smell of blood in the air, mixed with a pungent smell of disinfectant and medicine.
Lin Feng’s eyes swept across the ground and his pupils shrank slightly.
There were traces of recent excavation and burial in some inconspicuous places on the ground. The technique was very crude, but it could not be hidden from his perception.
Something “unclean” had definitely been handled here.
Just as he was concentrating on investigating.
whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Without any warning, dense streams of thousands of bullets were fired simultaneously from several locations on the ground!
The black tip of the needle flashed a cold color under the moonlight, and it was obviously poisoned!
The angle was extremely tricky, instantly blocking all of Lin Feng’s dodging space!
It’s a trigger trap!
Damn it! I was careless!
Lin Feng’s heart trembled, but his reaction speed was extremely fast.
The body instantly turned into half element, becoming illusory and uncertain.
Most of the thousands of swords pierced right through his blurry figure and stuck into the air.
At the same time, with a flick of his wrist, several condensed wind blades whizzed out, accurately cutting off the remaining poison needles.
The figure floated back and forth, creating distance.
“Hehehe…good reaction, little brat.”
A sinister voice, as unpleasant as that of a night owl, came from underground where he had just stood.
The earth churned, and a ninja wearing a raccoon mask and the standard black Root uniform slowly emerged.
He patted the dirt off his body, licked his lips with his scarlet tongue, and looked at Lin Feng with eyes full of mockery and cruelty.
“What a pity! You are still too naive! Now that you have broken in, you might as well leave your life behind!”
The Root Ninja quickly formed seals with his hands, and chakra surged out.
【Earth Escape·Earth Dragon Bullet】!
roar!
The ground shook violently, and a ferocious earth dragon made of mud roared and rose from the ground, carrying a tremendous force, and pounced fiercely towards Lin Feng!
The strong wind brought about by the earth dragon’s impact made Lin Feng’s clothes rustle.
However, the crisis does not end there!
At the moment the earth dragon appeared, Lin Feng’s [Whisper of the Wind God] captured a weak but malicious [Black Feather Energy] wave suddenly erupted in the shadow on the other side!
The sound of breaking through the air is sharp and piercing!
An arrow that was completely black and looked like a raven’s feather, shot silently but as fast as lightning, straight into Lin Feng’s vital point on the back!
This is a carefully planned killing game!
An experienced Root Earth Style Ninja attacked head-on to attract attention.
A member of the Black Feather Organization hiding in the dark launches a fatal sneak attack!
Cooperation is perfect and ruthless!
Lin Feng’s eyes instantly turned cold and filled with murderous intent.
[Core of Wind] circulates wildly in Dantian, and surging cyan-gold chakra surges throughout the body!
The tremendous vitality energy of [Immortal Body] is injected into the Wind Escape without any reservation!
Facing the roaring earth dragon, Lin Feng did not retreat but advanced!
But he did not choose to fight back.
The body suddenly rotated sideways, creating a strong cyclone.
The gravitational force of the wind!
The huge earth dragon was pulled by the airflow, and its impact direction was forcibly deviated a bit. It brushed past Lin Feng’s body and crashed into the abandoned rockery in the distance with a loud bang, and gravel flew everywhere!
At the same time, Lin Feng threw out several kunai without even looking behind him.
Attached to each kunai is a layer of light, purifying wind with a cyan-gold color!
Ding ding ding!
A crisp collision sound was heard.
The pitch-black feather arrow was accurately intercepted in mid-air by three [Purifying Wind] kunai.
The purifying force collided violently with the [Black Feather Energy], making a hissing corrosion sound and black smoke filled the air, and eventually both were annihilated.
The Root ninja was horrified when they saw this.
This kid can actually deal with the attacks of Earth Escape and Black Feather at the same time?
Moreover, what kind of wind escape technique is that? It can actually purify Lord Kuroba’s power? !
Without giving him time to think, he slammed his hands on the ground again!
“[Earth Release·Yellow Quan Marsh]!”
Boom!
The ground under Lin Feng’s feet suddenly became muddy, like quicksand, generating a huge suction force that seemed to swallow him whole!
On the other side, the Black Feather members who failed in the sneak attack finally emerged from the shadows.
It was a relatively short ninja who also wore a mask. He held a strangely shaped black short bow in his hand. A black feather arrow was already on the bowstring, locking onto Lin Feng from a distance.
Both enemies are very powerful.
The Root Ninjas are proficient in the use of earth escape techniques and have rich combat experience.
The arrows of the Black Feather members are strange and tricky, and they also come with the troublesome [Black Feather Energy].
And the coordination is perfect.
Lin Feng frowned, realizing that he couldn’t delay any longer.
The commotion here may attract more enemies at any time.
He took a deep breath.
The cyan-gold wind began to rapidly surround him, making a low whistle.
The air seemed to become thick.
A powerful aura far exceeding that just now suddenly burst out from him!
His eyes became as sharp as a knife!
Chapter 83: Thunderous Means to Break the Killing Situation (Old Version)
The ground suddenly collapsed, and the yellow sand-like soil instantly turned into a quagmire that swallowed up life.
“Yellow Spring Swamp? The same old trick!” Lin Feng’s mouth curled up with a hint of coldness.
This guy who’s good at earth escape has only these tricks in his mind?
His eyes focused, and [Wind God’s Whisper] was activated at full power.
In an instant, everything around him, the flow of the enemy’s chakra, the energy direction of the ninjutsu, and even the subtle pulsation of the wind in the air, all appeared in his mind clearly.
flaw!
The two enemies are full of flaws!
“Kill the guy playing with the bow first!” Lin Feng made the decision instantly in his mind.
The black feather energy is the real threat.
Moreover, purifying this thing can also increase the degree of purification, so why not do it?
“Instantaneous body!”
With a loud shout, the chakra under Lin Feng’s feet suddenly exploded.
【Wind Style: Instant Body】!
His body was like an arrow shot from a bow, transformed into a blurry green phantom. Instead of retreating, he advanced with an indomitable momentum and rushed towards the black-feathered archer in the distance.
“You wish!” the Root Ninja roared.
He formed seals with both hands rapidly and chakra rushed out desperately.
The ground shook, and a thick earth wall rose from the ground in an attempt to block Lin Feng’s advance.
But, it’s too slow!
Lin Feng’s speed was far beyond his imagination.
The earth wall had just risen halfway when a green phantom flashed by like a ghost, sticking to the ground and brushing against the edge of the wall.
The Root ninja’s eyes nearly popped out.
This speed, is he still a Genin?!
The black-feathered archer was even more frightened.
He never expected that Lin Feng would be so decisive that he would directly give up on defending his earth escape and give priority to attacking himself!
The Black Feather Archer gritted his teeth and frantically urged the cold [Black Feather Energy] in his body.
The bowstring vibrated, and three pitch-black feather arrows, with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, formed a V-shape and shot towards Lin Feng’s vitals like poisonous snakes.
Block all evasive angles, extremely cruel!
Lin Feng sneered and suddenly raised his right hand. In his palm, green chakra gathered madly and rotated at high speed.
[Wind Style: Spiral Wind Blade]!
Chila-la-la——
The harsh cutting sound makes your scalp tingle.
A green wind blade visible to the naked eye, like the god of death’s scythe, suddenly took shape.
“Crush it for me!”
Lin Feng shouted and swung his arms violently.
The spiral wind blade, with its terrifying cutting power, faced the three black feather arrows head-on!
Just like cutting rotten wood, the three arrows containing [Black Feather Energy] were instantly sucked in, torn, and crushed by the terrifying cutting force of the spiral wind blade!
Energy exploded and fragments flew everywhere!
At the same time, Lin Feng grabbed the air with his left hand.
“Come here!”
A powerful wind pressure suddenly erupted and turned into an invisible giant hand, which grabbed the black-feathered archer tightly and pulled him out from his hiding place like a chicken.
“What?!” The black-feathered archer was terrified. His body was completely out of control and he flew rapidly towards Lin Feng.
The breath of death is blowing in my face!
In the palm of his hand, a green light glowed brightly, and the power of purification gushed out like a flood that broke through a dam.
“Purification!”
“ah–!!!”
The black-feathered archer let out a shrill scream, the sound was sharp and piercing, like the wail of a night owl.
The [Black Feather Energy] in his body boiled instantly like oil boiling over a raging fire.
But instead of becoming stronger, it was like meeting its natural enemy, and was madly decomposed, dispersed, and swallowed up by the warm and sacred purifying power!
Intense pain surged into his mind like a tide, gnawing at his nerves and tearing at his soul.
He felt as if the [Black Feather Energy] in his body was about to be uprooted and completely stripped away!
“Purification degree +1%… +1%… +1%!”
The system’s prompt sounded like an excited horn, ringing wildly in Lin Feng’s mind.
The [Core of Wind] felt waves of desire, greedily absorbing the [Black Feather Energy] that escaped during the purification process.
The purification level on the panel soared rapidly like a rocket.
78%…79%…
Seeing his companions being subdued in an instant and screaming in pain, the Root Ninja became extremely anxious.
“Asshole! Let go of Lord Kuroba’s men!”
He roared like a madman and slammed the ground with his hands.
“【Earth Escape: Earth Splitting Palm】!”
Boom boom
The entire ground shook violently as if there was an earthquake.
Huge cracks spread out like a spider web in an instant, swallowing up Lin Feng’s feet madly.
The ground collapsed, debris flew everywhere, and the scene was in a mess.
However, Lin Feng just sneered and didn’t even bother to look at him.
The body becomes ethereal again and enters a brief state of [wind element].
The ground is collapsing? The cracks are spreading?
Sorry, none of them are valid!
The elemental body ignores all physical attacks!
He shuttled between the cracks in the ground like a ghost. In an instant, he crossed a distance of dozens of meters and appeared directly in front of the Root Ninja.
The Root Ninja’s pupils suddenly shrank and a look of extreme fear appeared on his face.
Too fast!
So fast that he had no time to react!
Lin Feng’s voice was icy cold and emotionless, like the whisper of death.
The cyan-gold wind blade in his hand shone brightly, and suddenly chopped down with a force that could cut off all evil.
The Root Ninja didn’t even have time to let out a scream before both of his arms were severed and blood spurted out into the sky like a fountain.
“Ah…Ahhhh!”
The dull cry of pain sounded like a pig being slaughtered, extremely shrill.
Lin Feng didn’t even look at him, he just slapped out two sealing techniques, instantly imprisoning the chakras of the two people.
He grabbed the black-feathered archer who was on the verge of collapse, his eyes as cold as ice chips in the cold winter.
“Say! Where is the Owl?”
Mental oppression, purifying power, and double torture were like two invisible knives that fiercely pierced into the Black Feather Archer’s mental defenses.
“I said…I said…”
The Black Feather Archer could no longer bear it and his spirit collapsed completely. He spilled out everything he knew, just like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.
“Lord Owl… wants to meet with the top leaders of the Black Feather Organization… at… Owl’s Nest… to discuss… the next step of [The Advent of the Wind God]…”
It’s intermittent and incoherent, but the key information is enough.
Owl’s nest?
The God of Wind is coming?
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, with murderous intent in his heart.
The root, the Black Feather Organization, it seems that it is time to settle accounts once and for all.
Chapter 84: Night Owl’s Nest Clues (Old Version)
Lin Feng shook off the blood on the kunai with quick and decisive movements.
He glanced at the Root Ninja wailing on the ground and the black feather archer who was in a trance and looked like he had been played with, and there was no emotion in his eyes.
To be kind to your enemies is to be cruel to yourself.
He skillfully took out a special flare from his ninja tool bag, ignited it and shot it into the night sky.
An imperceptible faint signal cut through the night sky of Konoha.
This is a special code to directly contact the Anbu under the Hokage.
It is safest to leave this mess involving roots and mysterious organizations to professionals.
Not long after, several dark shadows landed silently in the abandoned training ground like ghosts.
The dark captain who was leading the group glanced at the scene, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
On the ground, a guy wearing a Root uniform had both arms broken and his chakra was completely sealed. He lay there like a dead dog.
The other guy wearing a strange mask looked extremely weak, his eyes were dull, and his body was shaking slightly involuntarily. It seemed that he had suffered a great mental shock.
Looking at the surroundings, apart from a few minor signs of damage, there was almost no sign that a fierce battle had taken place.
clean!
So clean!
The members of the Anbu team exchanged glances and saw incredible shock in each other’s eyes.
This… was really done by a Genin?
This control and efficiency are simply outrageous!
The dark captain of the team took a deep breath and suppressed the turmoil in his heart.
He quickly stepped forward and carefully checked the condition of the two captives, confirming that the seal was secure and that their injuries, although serious, were not fatal.
Then, he raised his head and looked at Lin Feng, who was standing beside him with a calm expression. There was a bit more inquiry in his eyes, even… admiration.
“What’s the situation?” The squad leader’s voice was hoarse, a trait unique to the Anbu.
“We were ambushed.” Lin Feng said briefly, “A Root Earth Escape and an archer from the Black Feather Organization worked in perfect harmony to ambush me.”
“In the end, I killed him.”
He pointed at the black-feathered archer who was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
“I got something out of him. It’s about the Root leader ‘Owl’ and the top brass of the Black Feather Organization. It seems they are going to meet at a place called ‘Owl’s Nest’ to discuss the next step of the ‘Advent of the Wind God’ plan.”
Lin Feng clearly repeated the fragmented information he had obtained through interrogation.
“Owl’s Nest?”
“The God of Wind is coming?”
The dark captain’s expression suddenly changed. He knew very well the weight of these two words.
“Understood! I will report this to the Hokage immediately!”
He did not dare to delay in the slightest and immediately transmitted the on-site situation and the information provided by Lin Feng back to the Hokage’s office with the highest priority through an encrypted channel.
The lights are on.
Sarutobi Hiruzen had just finished processing an urgent document when he received an encrypted report from the Anbu.
When he finished reading the report and learned that Lin Feng not only crushed the conspiracy against him again, but also captured a Root elite and a Black Feather member cleanly and efficiently, and even forced out key information about the “Owl”, his furrowed brows finally relaxed and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.
“Okay! Okay!”
Sarutobi Hiruzen slammed the table, his tone filled with excitement and appreciation that was difficult to conceal.
“Lin Feng, this kid did a great job! He really didn’t disappoint me!”
He praised the Anbu advisor standing beside him generously.
The consultant also looked surprised, obviously shocked by Lin Feng’s performance.
This news quickly spread within a small circle of senior officials.
The Hokage, consultants, core members of the special investigation team… were all shocked by Lin Feng’s terrifying strength, extraordinary courage and astonishing efficiency.
Those who had previously complained about the Third Hokage’s decision to use a Genin to participate in a confidential investigation, and even vaguely doubted Lin Feng’s ability, such as the two advisors Utane Koharu and Mitokado En, although they had grim expressions on their faces and were extremely dissatisfied in their hearts, they could only shut their mouths.
Facts speak louder than words.
Lin Feng slapped them in the face with his real combat performance!
“This child’s potential is limitless!” Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his cigarette, his eyes sharp, “We must give him greater support!”
He immediately ordered: “Increase Lin Feng’s access privileges and allow him to directly access Class B confidential files, especially the list of core members of the Root, records of past secret missions, and all known or suspected secret bases!”
“In addition, assign two elite ANBU, codenamed ‘Night Crow’ and ‘Shadow Cat’, as his exclusive liaisons. They will be on standby at all times and provide him with all necessary intelligence and logistical support!”
This decision is undoubtedly a great affirmation of Lin Feng’s ability and a heavy trust.
Almost at the same time as the Third Hokage gave the order.
The system’s exciting prompt sound rang in Lin Feng’s mind.
[Ding! Successfully thwarted the joint ambush of the Root and Black Feather, obtained important intelligence, deterred the villains, and was rewarded with 50,000 lottery points! ][Ding! The host remained calm in the face of danger, breaking through with lightning speed, and performed excellently. [Fusion Energy Control] increased to 43%! ]A warm current surged through my body again.
Lin Feng could clearly feel that his control over the cyan-gold fusion energy in his body had improved a lot.
The total amount of chakra also increases accordingly.
Cool!
It feels so good to see my strength steadily improving!
After this battle, Lin Feng’s name became completely known in the Anbu and the small circle of the Hokage’s confidants.
No longer just that lucky Genin with some special abilities.
He is seen as a rising star with unlimited potential, and is also seen as a sharp knife to fight against the dark forces within Konoha!
The night grows darker.
Lin Feng returned home.
Instead of resting immediately, he locked himself in the study.
In his mind, the fragments of information that the Black Feather Archer uttered before his collapse kept replaying.
[Owl’s Nest], [Meeting], [Next Step of the Wind God’s Descend]…
These scattered words, like pieces of a puzzle, require more clues to piece together a complete truth.
He turned on the computer, called up the newly acquired permissions, and began to look up all the information about “Xiao”.
Personal files, past patterns of action, possible hiding places, and records of secret facilities associated with the Root…
Lines of text and photos flashed quickly before his eyes.
He pushed [Whisper of the Wind God] to the extreme, analyzing all the information and trying to find any clues from it.
“‘Xiao’, the leader of the remnants of the Root, is extremely cautious and cunning, and is good at disguise and lurking…”
“What kind of place could it be?”
Lin Feng frowned, he realized that finding this mysterious [Owl’s Nest] would be no easy task.
What’s more, we have to find out the conspiracy of the Root and Black Feather Organization under their noses…
This is simply a dance on the edge of a knife.
“We have to do both!”
Lin Feng’s eyes were determined. He turned off the computer and walked to the practice room.
“On the one hand, we must continue to analyze intelligence and look for clues about the Owl’s Nest; on the other hand, we must seize the time to practice and improve our strength as quickly as possible.”
“Especially… raise the purification degree of [Black Feather Energy] to 80% as soon as possible and see what transformation will happen to [Wind Core]!”
He took a deep breath, sat cross-legged and began to meditate.
The [Wind Core] in the Dantian slowly rotates, emitting a soft cyan-gold light.
Lin Feng could feel that a powerful force was brewing in his body.
The day when the truth comes out is getting closer and closer.
They were getting closer and closer to completely eradicating the darkness in Konoha.
There was silence in the training room.
Only the sound of Lin Feng’s steady breathing echoed softly in the darkness.
Chapter 85 Undercurrent (Old Version)
Lin Feng buried his head in the study, his fingertips running across the cold files, and the Class B confidential files scrolling rapidly on the electronic screen.
Konoha Village seems to be the same as always.
The sun shines on the Hokage Rock, people are coming and going on the streets, and children are playing.
But there was an indescribable sense of depression in the air.
Some groundless news, like dark algae under the water, began to grow quietly.
“Shh… keep your voice down!” A low voice came from the dim alley corner, with a barely perceptible tremor.
“Have you heard? The Root… those people in the Root seem to be active again…”
“Is this true?!”
Another person exclaimed, also in a low voice, “The atmosphere in the village has been strange lately. There are a lot more ANBU patrolling… I thought it was just my imagination.”
He rubbed his hands nervously, “And that Black Feather Organization… the name sounds weird, nothing will happen, right?”
The shadows in the corners deepened, with only the occasional flash of light illuminating their tense, uneasy faces.
The special investigation team has also been in a very difficult situation recently.
The several raids seemed to be very powerful, but they only captured some peripheral members of the Root, all of whom were insignificant minor characters.
Screams of torture could be heard from the interrogation room day and night, but there was very little valuable intelligence, just some scraps, such as a few outdated contact codes and some unclear organizational charts.
“Owl” is like a ghost, hiding cunningly in the dark. Every action of the investigation team seems to be hitting cotton, with no effect.
There were even a few times when the investigation team came up empty-handed. When they arrived at the target location, it was already deserted, leaving only empty rooms and some deliberately erased traces, as if the “Owl” had predicted their actions in advance.
These arrests are like throwing a few stones in the grass.
The snake was not startled, but instead shrank deeper.
The activities of “Xiao” became more bizarre and unpredictable, and its connection with the Black Feather Organization was completely sunk into an untraceable dark channel.
Looking for [Owl’s Nest]? The difficulty is maxed out.
“The Night Crow has brought news.” Shadow Cat’s voice was like the night wind, ringing in Lin Feng’s ears without warning. She appeared in the shadow of the study room without anyone knowing when.
Lin Feng didn’t even raise his head, his eyes still fixed on the map markings of abandoned facilities at the root on the screen.
“explain.”
“Advisory elders Utane Koharu and Mitomon En have been quite active recently.” Shadowcat’s voice was calm, “They have been in frequent contact with representatives of several old families such as the Hyuga and Uchiha clans. Their purpose is unclear.”
Lin Feng’s fingers tapping the keyboard paused.
“These two old guys have very sensitive noses.” Lin Feng tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth. “Utane Koharu and Mitomon En… Ha, once Danzo fell, they couldn’t sit still.”
He pondered for a moment, his eyes narrowed, “It is certain that they will distance themselves from the matter. Once Danzo’s shady deeds are completely exposed, they will not be able to escape responsibility. But… is it just to protect themselves? I’m afraid it’s not that simple.”
Lin Feng’s thoughts were working quickly. “These two old guys have always coveted the power of the Hokage lineage. Now the Sandaime’s health is not as good as before, and Danzo is dead… This may be an opportunity in their eyes. It is not impossible to eliminate dissidents and reshuffle the cards in the name of clearing up the roots.”
He sneered, “An old fox is an old fox. He will never miss any opportunity to fight for power.”
“Do you need us to monitor it?” Shadowcat asked.
“No need.” Lin Feng shook his head. “Let them jump around. It will attract attention. The real thing is to keep a close eye on Xiao and Hei Yu.”
While he was wrestling with the dark forces, the other members of Class 7 were also busy.
On the training ground, Naruto was grimacing and sweating profusely.
“Damn it! Failed again!” He jumped in anger as he looked at the disintegrating chakra ball in his hand.
Stimulated by Lin Feng’s “purification” of the black feather energy last time, this kid was like a chicken with blood injected, and he practiced without caring about his life.
His chakra control ability had indeed improved visibly, and he even began to learn from Lin Feng, trying to add wind-attribute changes to the Rasengan.
Although the result was… horrible, the spirit of not wanting to admit defeat became even more dazzling.
On the other hand, Sakura was hanging out in the medical department’s library.
His white fingertips slid across the obscure medical forbidden theories on the pages of the book, his brows furrowed.
She has become quite proficient in the Palm Immortal Technique, but she is not satisfied.
She watched Lin Feng walk on the edge of danger again and again, and watched Sasuke become more and more gloomy, and she felt a strong emotion in her heart.
She had to become stronger, to master more powerful medical ninjutsu, at least… at least she could help them when they were injured.
Thinking of Lin Feng, her cheeks turned slightly red, then she shook her head vigorously and focused her attention back on the book.
As for Sasuke…
The waterfall roars and the air is filled with steam.
Sasuke was shirtless, his body covered with fine scars. Black curse marks were moving under his skin like living things, emitting an ominous aura.
His eyes were cold and empty, and only when he punched, kicked, and condensed his chakra into a Chidori spear to pierce the rock wall did he burst into terrifying ferocity.
Power! He only craves power!
Every explosion of the cursed energy brings the pleasure of a leap in strength, but also brings a deeper erosion of darkness.
He spoke less and less to Naruto and Sakura, and even Kakashi’s guidance became perfunctory.
The gap, like an icy wall, quietly built up between him and his former companions.
Kakashi stood in the distance, looking at the disciple who was gradually swallowed by the darkness. His single eye under the silver hair was filled with fatigue and powerlessness.
He tried.
He tried to communicate in various ways, trying to pull Sasuke out of the quagmire of revenge.
But it didn’t work.
The hatred in the child’s heart had burned away his rationality.
Kakashi sighed and rubbed his forehead.
He put more of his attention on Naruto and Sakura, who were relatively “easy to deal with”.
Occasionally, he would give Lin Feng some advice in a seemingly casual tone.
“You have a lot of tasks to do recently, Lin Feng.” “You need to be careful when you act alone.” “If you have any problems that you can’t solve, don’t forget your teachers and companions.”
Lin Feng understood what Kakashi meant.
He knew Kakashi was worried about him, and he also knew that Kakashi vaguely guessed what he was doing.
Thinking of Sasuke, Lin Feng felt a little complicated.
The butterfly effect has flapped its wings.
The plot has long deviated from its original track.
He didn’t know whether he could ultimately prevent the inevitable tragedy.
Maybe… I can only do my best.
Lin Feng suppressed his chaotic thoughts and refocused on the information in front of him.
The information about “Xiao” is scattered, but when pieced together, it outlines an extremely difficult opponent.
A master of disguise and stealth, he is familiar with Konoha’s defenses and may have even participated in the construction of some defense systems.
Where would such a person hide the [Owl’s Nest]?
Lin Feng’s gaze fell on several areas marked in red on the map.
Those are several underground facilities related to the early activities of the Roots that have long been abandoned and even erased from official records.
“Is it dark under the lamp?” Lin Feng murmured to himself.
The most dangerous places are often the safest.
“Shadowcat.”
“exist.”
“Notify Night Crow and have the investigation team focus on investigating these places.” Lin Feng pointed at the marks on the map, “Especially those areas where records are unclear or have been deliberately forgotten.”
“Understood.” Shadow Cat’s figure merged into the shadows again and disappeared.
After processing the information, Lin Feng walked into the training room.
He took out a few pieces of black metal fragments from his ninja tool bag. They were the remains of the Black Feather weapons seized in the last battle.
There is still a faint but pure [Black Feather Energy] remaining on it.
Sitting cross-legged, Lin Feng activated the [Core of Wind].
The cyan-gold purifying force slowly flowed out and enveloped the fragments.
Tsk tsk…
A subtle corrosion sound was heard, and the black energy was peeled off, absorbed, and purified bit by bit.
[Black Feather Energy Purification: 79.1%…79.2%…]The progress bar slowly climbs up.
Lin Feng could clearly feel that the [Wind Core] in his Dantian was like a hungry cub, full of desire for these purified energies.
Each time the degree of purification increases, the core becomes more solid, the rotation speed becomes faster, and the cyan-gold color it emits becomes purer.
He had a strong premonition.
Once the degree of purification exceeds the 80% mark, the [Core of Wind] will inevitably undergo a transformation.
Perhaps, a killer weapon that can truly restrain “Owl” and the Black Feather Organization can be born!
The night is getting deeper and deeper.
Invisible pressure, like a heavy dark cloud, began to gather over Konoha.
Lin Feng closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and entered deep meditation.
He knew that the storm was coming.
The head-on collision with “Owl” and the Black Feather Organization is imminent.
He needs to improve his strength as soon as possible and make full preparations.
In the training room, the only sounds left were the even breathing sounds and the faint sound of airflow caused by the rotation of the [Wind Core].
Chapter 86: Unexpected Gains from an Ordinary Mission (Old Version)
The piles of files in the study gave off the smell of old paper, and the dim light from the screen reflected Lin Feng’s focused profile.
His tense nerves over the past few days made his eyes feel a little sore.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
“Hey, Lin Feng, are you not done yet?” Kakashi’s signature lazy voice came, he leaned against the door frame, holding two lunch boxes in his hands, “Combining work and rest, there just happens to be a simple C-rank mission, let’s go and relax together?”
Lin Feng raised his head and rubbed his eyebrows.
“C-rank mission?”
“Well, escort a herbalist to the nearby Medicine Ninja Town, and take a look at the recent training results of Naruto and Sakura.” Kakashi shook the bento, “Let’s go, don’t push yourself too hard.”
Considering that Naruto and Sakura really needed actual combat testing and also wanted to change their minds, Lin Feng nodded.
“OK.”
The mission process was indeed uneventful, even a bit boring.
The scholar who escorted us was a gentle old man who kept chattering on and on about various herbal knowledge along the way.
There were no bandits, no rebel ninjas, and not even a decent wild animal.
During the break, Naruto couldn’t hold back any longer and insisted on showing off his new achievements.
“Look at me! Wind Style: Major Breakthrough… Uh, Minor Breakthrough?”
His face turned red, and he gathered chakra in his palms and blew hard at a fallen leaf.
call–
The leaf trembled and spun a few times, and then… nothing happened.
“Poof!” Sakura couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Naruto immediately exploded: “What are you laughing at! This is a wind attribute transformation! Lin Feng, don’t you think it’s amazing!”
Lin Feng looked at Naruto’s clumsy but energetic appearance, and the corners of his mouth rose.
“Well, I’ve got the hang of it. My chakra control is much stronger than before. Try to compress the wind and imagine it as something sharper.”
He made a few casual comments.
Naruto’s eyes lit up, and he immediately went to the side to destroy the leaves with great interest.
Not long after, the team met a traveling merchant who accidentally sprained his ankle and was grimacing in pain.
Sakura immediately stepped forward and covered the wound with both hands, her bright green chakra glowing softly.
In just a few moments, the businessman was able to stand up and move around. Although he still felt a little uncomfortable, he was almost fully recovered.
“Thank you, little girl! You are such a great medical ninja!” The businessman burst into tears of gratitude.
The scholar stroked his beard and nodded in praise: “Ms. Haruno’s palm magic is becoming more and more sophisticated.”
Sakura felt a little embarrassed by the praise. She secretly glanced at Lin Feng with her cheeks slightly red.
She walked to Lin Feng and asked in a low voice: “Lin Feng, the energy purification you did last time, is it also an application of chakra control? It feels so magical…”
The two were discussing the use of energy. Naruto was not far away, looking at the leaves and muttering, “What? What’s there to talk about…”
Kakashi leaned against the tree trunk, watching the interaction between his three disciples with a gentle look in his eyes.
However, when his eyes swept across the vacant position in the team, an imperceptible heaviness flashed across the depths of his eyes.
Sasuke… refused again this time.
The invisible crack in the team cast a thin layer of shadow over this seemingly easy journey.
Arrived at the destination, Yaonin Town.
This is a quiet and peaceful town with a faint scent of herbs in the air.
After settling the scholars, they decided to stroll around the town.
Lin Feng was walking alone, aimlessly on the slightly old street.
[Wind God’s Whisper] was turned on out of habit, sensing everything around.
Suddenly, he stopped.
An extremely weak, yet extremely familiar energy fluctuation, like a stone thrown into a lake, created ripples in his calm perception.
This fluctuation…has the same origin as the [Black Feather Energy]!
But not exactly the same.
More obscure, more primitive, like… an unpolished jade?
Lin Feng’s eyes became sharp, and he followed the source of the fluctuation and turned into a remote and secluded alley.
At the end of the alley is an inconspicuous antique shop.
The shop door was half-open, and the light inside was dim and dusty.
Lin Feng pushed the door open and walked in, and the wind chimes made a soft tinkling sound.
An old man with gray hair and wearing reading glasses raised his head from behind the counter and looked at Lin Feng with his cloudy eyes.
“Just take a look, young man.” The old man said in a hoarse voice.
Lin Feng nodded, his eyes swept across the dusty bottles, jars, scrolls and paintings in the store, and [Whisper of the Wind God] was running at full power.
The fluctuation originated from a fist-sized stone in the corner of the counter, which was pitch black and covered with irregular patterns on the surface.
It was just placed there casually, no different from the surrounding debris.
Lin Feng walked over calmly and pretended to be interested in the little gadgets next to him.
He quietly stretched out his finger and touched the black stone with a trace of chakra.
The stone was cold and unresponsive.
Lin Feng’s heart moved slightly, and he tried to mobilize the [Wind Core] in his Dantian, separating a very weak wisp of [Purifying Wind] and carefully wrapped it around.
An almost imperceptible slight tremor came from inside the stone!
That strange energy actually resonated with the [Wind of Purification]!
There’s hope!
Lin Feng suppressed his excitement, pointed at the black stone, and asked casually: “Boss, this stone is quite unique, what’s its origin?”
The old man adjusted his glasses and took a closer look.
“Oh, this… was left by a passing merchant many years ago. He said it was dug out from some ancient ruins. I think it’s just a broken stone. If you like it, just give some money and take it away.”
Lin Feng was secretly happy, but pretended to be hesitant on his face.
“It looks quite ordinary… so let’s take this price.”
He casually took out a few small bills and handed them to the old man.
The old man happily took the money and handed the stone to Lin Feng.
After leaving the antique shop and returning to his temporary residence, Lin Feng immediately closed the door and carefully studied the black stone he had accidentally obtained.
The stone feels heavy and hard.
The strange energy inside, although weak, is extremely pure and ancient, with a wild and primitive aura. It is indeed completely different from the artificially catalyzed, cold and evil [Black Feather Energy].
This is more like… the source?
At this moment, the system prompt sounded in my mind.
[Ding! Unknown energy source [Dark Origin Stone (Micro)] discovered! ][Description: A fragment of ore containing extremely ancient, pure dark energy, suspected to be related to the source of some forbidden power.][Effect: A small amount of its internal energy can be absorbed to study the characteristics of dark energy or to improve the purification efficiency of [Black Feather Energy].][Warning: Direct absorption has certain risks and may cause chakra disorder or mental pollution. Please use it with caution! ]Dark Originium?
Lin Feng clenched the stone in his hand, his eyes flickering.
This thing can not only help him break through the 80% level of purification of the [Black Feather Energy], but also reveals that there may be deeper and more ancient secrets hidden behind the [Black Feather Energy]!
I really came to the right place to take on this C-level mission!
Chapter 87: Originium Refining Wind Core (Old Version)
After returning to Konoha Village, Lin Feng immediately locked himself in his own training room which was equipped with soundproofing and defensive barriers.
There was a faint smell of disinfectant in the air, mixed with the cold feeling of metal and dust.
Owl’s nest.
The God of Wind has arrived.
These words were like a sword hanging over his head, suffocating him.
He spread out his palm, and the [Dark Origin Stone] he found in Yaonin Town lay quietly. The dark surface seemed to absorb the faint light from the surroundings, emitting a heart-pounding ancient and ominous aura.
It’s you.
Lin Feng took a deep breath and mobilized the cyan-gold [Wind Core] in the Dantian Qi Sea.
Try to absorb it directly!
A trace of core power stretched out and carefully touched the [Dark Origin Stone].
moment!
An unimaginable violent energy, like a prehistoric beast that broke free from its shackles of billions of years, rushed in violently along that trace of core power!
Lin Feng groaned and his face suddenly turned pale.
The meridians felt as if they were burned by a red-hot iron, and the severe pain spread wildly along the path of the chakra flow!
Tearing! Burning! Impact!
The powerful self-healing ability of [Immortal Body] was activated instantly, and emerald green life energy emerged, trying to repair the damaged meridians.
But the destructive speed of that original dark energy is almost the same as its repair speed!
What’s even more terrifying is that a chaotic, cold will filled with destructive desire is rushing towards his spirit along with the torrent of energy!
No! It’s too strong!
If I continue like this, I will be blown up by this thing before I can absorb much energy, or I will be mentally polluted and turn into a madman!
Lin Feng acted decisively and abruptly cut off the energy connection with the [Dark Origin Stone].
Whoosh…whoosh…
He was breathing heavily, his forehead covered with cold sweat. In those few short seconds, he was literally jumping back and forth on the edge of hell.
This original dark energy is completely different from the “second-hand goods” converted by the middlemen of the Black Feather Organization!
You can’t force it.
Lin Feng’s eyes darkened and he readjusted his breathing.
He activated the [Wind Core] again, but this time, he no longer absorbed it directly.
Instead, it differentiated into countless fine [Purifying Winds], like the most dexterous silk threads, gently wrapping around the [Dark Origin Stone].
[Whisper of the Wind God] operates at full power, and perception is raised to the limit.
He could “hear” the roar of the violent energy inside the stones and “see” their chaotic collision.
Strip! Guide! Purify!
This is an extremely delicate operation, requiring abnormally high levels of chakra control.
Lin Feng was fully focused and highly concentrated, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
The cyan-gold [Purifying Wind] slowly seeped in, like a spring breeze, gradually wearing away the frenzy of the outer layer of dark energy.
Tsk…tsk…
An extremely subtle sound was heard.
Under the continuous effect of the [Purifying Wind], the suffocating and violent aura on the surface of the [Dark Origin Stone] was really slowly weakening.
A trace of extremely pure, yet still highly corrosive, primitive dark energy was carefully peeled off from the main body of the stone.
Lin Feng held his breath and guided this first wisp of dark energy that had been initially “tamed” into the [Core of Wind] in his Dantian.
On the surface of [Core of Wind], cyan-gold light flickered violently, as if it had encountered a strong enemy, or as if it had come across something very nutritious!
The core began to rotate at high speed, transforming, absorbing and purifying this external energy with all its strength.
The process is still difficult, like gnawing on the hardest bone with teeth.
But compared to the suicide behavior just now, the risk has been reduced countless times.
and……
Surprise burst out in Lin Feng’s eyes!
After being purified by the [Core of Wind], the original dark energy was transformed into “nutrients” of a quality far exceeding the energy from the black feather weapon debris absorbed previously!
It’s simply the difference between concentrated nutritional paste and ordinary rice!
On the system panel, the percentage that had been stuck for a long time began to jump up at a speed visible to the naked eye!
[Black Feather Energy Purification: 79.1%…][Black Feather Energy Purification: 79.5%…][Black Feather Energy Purification: 79.9%…]Just when the purification level is about to break through the 80% mark!
The darkest will hidden inside the [Dark Origin Stone] suddenly erupted!
A mental shock condensed to the extreme, ignoring physical defense, pierced Lin Feng’s sea of ​​consciousness like a poisoned ice cone!
Cold! Chaos! Despair! Destruction!
Countless negative emotions surged in like a tide, ready to completely drown his rationality!
The risk that the system prompted is indeed here!
“Humph! I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”
Lin Feng snorted coldly in his sea of ​​consciousness.
He was well prepared!
The blue perception barrier formed by [Whisper of the Wind God] instantly lit up, like an indestructible spiritual barrier, standing before the impact!
At the same time, the tremendous vitality and tenacious will brought by the [Immortal Body] become the most solid backing!
Hold on!
The silent collision exploded on the spiritual level!
The cold mental shock slammed heavily into the green barrier, causing violent ripples, but ultimately failed to break through!
It seemed as if the mental shock was forcibly resisted, and a slight shattering sound was heard from inside the [Dark Origin Stone].
Its final counterattack failed!
The internal structure completely collapsed!
All the remaining original dark energy lost its last restraints and was madly swallowed up by the [Core of Wind] like a flood that broke through a dam or a weary bird returning to its nest!
The degree of purification instantly broke through the bottleneck of 80%!
[Core of Wind] suddenly vibrated violently!
The cyan-gold color flowing on the surface suddenly became brighter and brighter, illuminating the entire Dantian Qi sea in every detail!
The volume of the core seemed to have shrunk subtly.
But its texture has become more solid and pure than ever before!
During the rotation, the purity of the wind attribute chakra emitted increased by several times!
What’s even more bizarre is!
In the very center of the core, an extremely complex and mysterious cyan-gold rune mark, which seemed to contain the secret of the origin of wind, slowly emerged and solidified!
At the same time, in Lin Feng’s mind, the system prompt sound flashed across the screen like a waterfall!
[Ding! [Black Feather Energy] purification reaches 80%! [Wind Core] undergoes transformation, unlocking hidden features: [Wind Mark (Primary)]! ][Feature description: You can mark specific energy fluctuations (such as chakra, natural energy, etc.) within the perception range and track them over a short distance. You can apply weak wind element interference to the marked target (such as disrupting airflow, affecting perception, etc.). The marking effect of [Black Feather Energy] is doubled, the tracking distance is increased, and its energy composition and weaknesses can be analyzed to a limited extent! ][Ding! The host successfully absorbed the [Dark Origin Stone (Micro)], and the [Fusion Energy Control] increased to 45%! ][Ding! The host obtains a new skill [Darkness Corrosion Resistance (Primary)]! ][Skill Description: Slightly improves resistance to negative energy (such as curses, resentment, etc.) and mental erosion attacks. ]Chapter 88: The Poison Nest Under the Monument Finally Revealed (Old Version)
Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes.
In an instant, an invisible wind pressure seemed to sweep through the training room.
He could clearly “see” the shrinking but increasingly solid cyan-gold [Core of Wind] in his Dantian Qi Sea.
The surging sense of power, like a river bursting its banks, fills every part of my body!
This is the feeling of being reborn!
The total amount of chakra increased by 30%!
What’s more important is the purity. It has been purified ninety-nine and eighty-one times. As soon as the thought comes, the chakra can be used as easily as one’s own arm, without any hindrance.
He was absolutely confident that when he used wind-style ninjutsu now, its power would increase by at least 50%, and the consumption would be even lower!
[Fusion Energy Control] also soared to 45%.
This means that the life energy of the [Immortal Body] and the perception power of [Whisper of the Wind God] will combine more smoothly with the [Core of Wind].
[Purifying Wind], [Wind Elementalization] and other hidden skills are not only more powerful, but also last much longer.
There is also the [Dark Corrosion Resistance (Primary)]. Although it is only elementary, Lin Feng can clearly feel that his mental barriers have become much stronger.
If you encounter spiritual pollution like the underworld stuff like [Black Feather Energy] again, your resistance will be absolutely strong.
However, what excited him the most was the new feature unlocked after the transformation of [Wind Core] – [Mark of Wind (Basic)]!
This is simply giving cheats to the tracking “Owl” and Black Feather Organization!
Must try immediately!
Lin Feng’s mind moved, and [Mark of Wind] was instantly activated.
The perception range of [Wind God’s Whisper] spread outward like a tide, instantly covering most of Konoha Village.
His consciousness focused on those previously marked suspicious areas and energy fluctuation points that might be related to the roots or black feathers.
In the Dantian, the mysterious cyan-gold rune mark in the center of the [Core of Wind] suddenly lit up with a faint light.
Lin Feng’s perception of the world changed instantly!
It’s like wearing a super filter that can penetrate the surface, directly “see” the essence of energy, and label specific fluctuations!
Countless chaotic energy information flows through.
The chakra of ordinary villagers, the aura of patrolling Anbu, and even the weak natural energy flowing in the earth veins…
But with the precise screening of the [Mark of Wind], those chakra residues with the unique cold mark of the root, as well as the extremely hidden [Black Feather Energy] fluctuations that were dormant like a venomous snake, were all marked out with great clarity!
In Lin Feng’s perception, they are like ghost lights in the dark night, with nowhere to hide!
“Sieve! Sift hard!”
Lin Feng was highly focused, patiently filtering through the massive amount of information.
He cross-checked these marked energy points with the distribution maps of abandoned Root facilities, secret passage entrances and other information he had memorized from confidential files.
Eliminate… and exclude again…
Gradually, the scope continued to narrow.
finally!
Lin Feng’s consciousness suddenly locked onto one place!
A place that he had never doubted before, and it could even be said that it was deliberately ignored!
Konoha Memorial Monument!
To be more precise, it is the underground training ground behind the memorial tablet, which is overgrown with weeds and has an entrance half-covered by vines and rubble, and has been abandoned for many years!
This place is so special.
Because it is located next to the memorial stone where the sacrificed ninjas are buried, it is always shrouded in a solemn atmosphere. Normally, no one would approach it except those who are paying their respects.
Moreover, on the surface, there is a barrier that is not very strong but enough to serve as a warning, and it is euphemistically called “protecting the resting place of the heroes from being disturbed.”
Who could have imagined that such a place would harbor so much filth?
However, the feedback given by [Mark of the Wind] is as clear as a guiding light!
There, not only are there traces of a large amount of cold and dead chakra unique to the Root Ninjas, but more importantly!
A faint, yet extremely condensed and sinister wave of [Black Feather Energy] was like a poisonous snake lurking deep in its lair, emitting a disgusting odor!
The frequency of this fluctuation is exactly the same as the energy of the Black Feather Archer he encountered before, and the guy code-named “Poison Swamp”!
“【Owl’s Nest】…Found it!”
Lin Feng clenched his fists suddenly, and a chill flashed in his eyes!
It can’t be wrong!
Combining the intelligence dug out from the “Poison Swamp” and the Black Feather Archer’s memory fragments, “Owl” is preparing to meet with the top leaders of the Black Feather Organization in this secret base in the near future to finalize the final details of that bullshit “Advent of the Wind God” plan!
Without any hesitation, Lin Feng immediately reported his findings and inferences directly to the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen through the emergency contact channel of the Anbu that was only known to a few senior officials, with the highest encryption level.
At the same time, he also made a request – to authorize him to sneak in and investigate first to confirm the specific situation inside, especially whether the “Owl” and Heiyu senior executives were really inside!
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the information on the encrypted scroll, a surprising look burst out from his turbid old eyes, and the hand holding the pipe trembled slightly.
shock!
incredible!
But more of it is exciting!
“Owl”! The biggest remnant of the Root! The Black Feather Organization! Konoha’s biggest worry!
It’s finally revealed!
“Approved! Lin Feng!” The third generation made a decision almost immediately and replied through a special channel, “You are allowed to conduct reconnaissance first! But remember, your own safety must be the highest priority! Once you confirm that the target is inside, retreat immediately! Wait for the subsequent encirclement and suppression deployment! Do not act without authorization!”
After receiving the reply, Lin Feng took a deep breath.
He stood up and stretched his muscles, making crackling sounds.
The power in my body is fuller than ever before.
The cell activity of the [Sage Body] is increased to the extreme, and chakra flows continuously in the meridians.
The perception of [Whisper of the Wind God] is like the most sophisticated radar, locking onto every move in the target area.
In Dantian, the [Core of Wind] rotates at high speed, and the [Mark of Wind] in the center is ready to go.
sneak into!
Target – the poison nest hidden in the heart of Konoha, under the memorial stone!
Chapter 89: Sneaking into the Poison Nest (Old Version)
The night covered the sky like splashed ink, and the starlight was too stingy to give away even a trace.
Lin Feng’s figure blended into the absolute darkness, floating like a ghost.
The memorial stone looks particularly solemn in the night, like a silent giant, watching the rise and fall of Konoha.
He silently avoided the sentries that were there like decorations, and in a few breaths, he arrived at the overgrown area.
The goal is here! The entrance to the abandoned underground training ground is like a forgotten corner. If it weren’t for the [Mark of the Wind] pointing the way, who would have thought that there was something shameful hidden underneath?
At the entrance, a seemingly ordinary sealing ritual was operating quietly.
Haha, are you trying to fool someone?
[Whisper of the Wind God] was firing at full power, combined with the newly upgraded [Mark of the Wind]. In Lin Feng’s eyes, the technique was like a beautiful woman stripped naked, with its internal structure, warning traps, and anti-intrusion mechanisms all visible at a glance.
How can this be an ordinary seal?
It is clearly a carefully disguised multi-layer defense system. Wow, these old perverts at the root are really amazing.
Brute force?
You are too naive.
Lin Feng’s mouth curled up in disdain.
I have a more elegant posture.
[Wind Element], start!
His body instantly disintegrated and turned into a breeze that was barely discernible to the naked eye, lightly blowing across the sealing technique.
Like mercury pouring on the ground, it penetrated every pore. It seeped in through the seemingly seamless energy gap, as if passing through a non-existent water curtain, without any hindrance.
That’s it?
With a “whoosh”, Lin Feng condensed his body again and landed firmly on the dark and damp underground passage with his feet.
A musty smell, a bloody odor, and the smell of disinfectant mixed together and rushed straight to my head.
On the wall, the root-specific engraved runes emit uncomfortable energy fluctuations in the dark environment.
The air became thick and oppressive, making people want to vomit.
This place is really hellish.
There are dangers everywhere in the passage.
Under your feet is a trigger-type kunai launcher. If you step on it accidentally, it will give you a direct shower.
On the ground, a pressure-sensing detonator. Greetings to all your ancestors.
There is an invisible chakra sensing barrier in the air, and the alarm will be sounded immediately if there is even the slightest chakra fluctuation.
What’s even more insidious is that there are illusion traps that specifically target those ninjas with weak perception.
These guys at the root really went to great lengths to keep it secret.
“Haha, that’s child’s play.”
Lin Feng sneered in his heart, [Wind God’s Whisper] is not a vegetarian.
Super strong perception, early warning of all traps.
[Mark of the Wind] is even more of a magical skill, an energy trap?
It will be marked directly for you, clearly and unambiguously.
He walked through the densely packed traps as if he was strolling in a garden. Occasionally, when he was in a good mood, he would dismantle a few convenient detonating talismans, treating them as waste materials for recycling.
Just think of it as sending warmth to the roots.
“who!”
Just as Lin Feng turned a corner, two black shadows jumped out from the darkness like ghosts!
It’s the Root Ninja!
Well-trained and well-coordinated!
A man approached silently like a poisonous snake, and stabbed Lin Feng’s vital points with a short knife. It was the [Silent Killing Technique]!
The other person formed seals with his hands, and the ground instantly liquefied. He tried to perform the [Earth Escape·Heart Beheading Technique] to drag Lin Feng underground and bury him alive!
“The response is good, but unfortunately, it’s still too slow.”
The corners of Lin Feng’s mouth slightly raised, with a hint of cat playing with mouse.
[Wind Element], start again!
The short knife used in the silent killing technique slashed coldly across his afterimage and stabbed into nothing.
The beheading technique in my mind also caught the loneliness.
The soil surged, but only a ball of air was caught.
The next second, Lin Feng solidified his body not far away. On his hands, the cyan-gold wind blades were like the god of death’s scythe, flashing with a cold luster.
“It’s too slow. Let’s go back to the furnace and rebuild it.”
Before he finished speaking, the wind blade arrived!
There were two slight cutting sounds, like a watermelon being cut.
The two Root ninjas didn’t even have time to let out a scream before two streams of blood shot out from their necks and their bodies fell limply, deader than dead.
The terrifying power and speed brought by [Sage Body], combined with the wind escape technique after transformation, is simply a human meat grinder, and the close combat capability has also achieved a qualitative leap.
After getting rid of the troublesome fish, Lin Feng continued to go deeper.
The further you go in, the colder the air becomes, and the stronger the fluctuations of the [Black Feather Energy] become, as if they were real and nauseating.
At the same time, a stronger and more sinister aura began to spread, as if a sleeping beast was waking up, causing Lin Feng’s [Dark Erosion Resistance] to tremble slightly.
It seems that the real owner is coming soon.
Finally, he came to an extremely heavy metal door.
The surface of the gate was densely engraved with complex sealing techniques. Powerful chakra flowed between the patterns, making a low buzzing sound.
Apparently, the people inside are constantly maintaining and even strengthening the seal.
Is this because he is afraid of being disturbed, or is he afraid that the things inside will escape?
[Mark of the Wind] was firing on all cylinders, frantically analyzing the sealing technique on the gate.
Soon, Lin Feng understood.
This door is not only a physical defense, but also an extremely powerful perception shielding barrier!
The internal sounds and chakra fluctuations are almost completely isolated, making it difficult for the outside world to detect them at all.
The roots really have caution engraved into their DNA.
Lin Feng tried to infiltrate using [Wind Element].
Hit a wall.
The energy density of this door is ridiculously high, and elemental penetration is extremely difficult and very easy to detect.
Break in by force?
It’s too reckless and doesn’t suit his style.
As his mind moved, the [Core of Wind] in his dantian started to spin at high speed, and the surging power gathered at his fingertips. The [Mark of Wind] suddenly solidified, like a miniature cyan rune.
“Open the door, open sesame.”
Lin Feng chuckled and placed his fingertips on a node of the sealing technique.
The power of [Mark of the Wind], like a key, instantly resonated with the sealing ritual.
Silently, it disrupted the flow of seal energy and created an extremely brief, yet fatal “gap” in the tight defense system.
Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Lin Feng used the perception of [Wind God’s Whisper] like an invisible tentacle to penetrate into the gap!
“…Plan…Kazekage…Konoha’s collapse…”
The sound of vague conversations came into my mind intermittently.
Two powerful auras, like lighthouses in the darkness, were reflected in his perception with incredible clarity!
“Xiao”, and the top leaders of the Black Feather Organization!
It’s here as expected!
Chapter 90: The Poison Nest Stealing Secrets and Escape (Old Version)
Perception was like an invisible probe that penetrated the briefly opened energy gap and instantly poured into the secret room behind the metal door.
Lin Feng’s spirit suddenly tensed up!
Two completely different auras, like beacons in the darkness, were clearly imprinted in his world of perception!
One is cold, sticky, and has a decaying silence, but also hides the cunning and patience of a venomous snake.
It’s “Xiao”!
There is no mistake about it. Even if Lin Feng turned into ashes, he would be able to recognize the unique smell of the underworld at the root!
The other one was much more violent!
Full of primitive desire for destruction and hysterical madness!
The [Black Feather Energy], which was so dense that it almost became tangible, was countless times more powerful than the “Wind Scythe” and “Poison Swamp” encountered before!
This guy is definitely a high-ranking member of the Black Feather Organization, at the level of the Four Heavenly Kings?
Maybe even stronger!
“…The final stage of the [Advent of the Wind God] plan must be accelerated!”
A hoarse, low sound like the friction of sandpaper was heard, it was the sound of “owl”.
“That kid named Lin Feng is a variable that cannot be ignored.”
“His [Wind Core] is very strange. It can actually purify our power. This is beyond our initial expectations.”
Lin Feng sneered in his heart, I can not only purify, but also absorb!
“Humph! It’s just an experimental subject that was born accidentally!”
Another voice sounded, full of undisguised arrogance and cruelty, belonging to the Black Feather high-ranking official.
“Although Master Hayabusa is very interested in his [Core], the plan itself is the most important!”
“As long as the [Altar of the Wind God] is completely completed, and the power of the dragon veins under Konoha is activated, it will be enough to forcibly give birth to the artificial [Son of the Wind God] that we want!”
Lin Feng’s heart shook violently, as if hit by a heavy hammer!
The [Advent of the Wind God] plan is actually to create an artificial “Son of the Wind God”?
Do we need to build a [Wind God Altar] or even use the power of Konoha’s underground veins?
This is definitely a shocking conspiracy that is enough to subvert the entire Konoha and even affect the Land of Fire!
The voice of “Xiao” sounded again, with a hint of imperceptible urgency: “The core component of the altar is still missing the last key material – [Wind Spirit Crystal].”
“I have confirmed that a piece of Wind Spirit Crystal of excellent quality is sealed in Konoha’s top secret warehouse.”
“As long as we can get it, and sacrifice enough ‘nutrients’…”
“Nourishment? Hehehe…”
The top leaders of Heiyu let out a sinister laugh that made one’s teeth ache.
“Isn’t the Chunin Exam, which is about to begin, the best ‘hunting ground’?”
“When the time comes, the geniuses of the five great nations and ninjas from all walks of life will gather in Konoha. The more chaotic the scene, the easier it will be for us to collect ‘food’!”
“Enough high-quality ‘sacrifices’ are enough to allow the great [Son of the Wind] to be born perfectly!”
Lin Feng only felt a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and all the hairs on his body stood up!
These crazy beasts!
Their goal is actually the upcoming Chunin Exam!
During the exam, taking advantage of the chaos, we’re going to massacre ninjas and collect their life energy as a sacrifice to give birth to that god-knows-what artificial [Son of the Wind]?
Do you also want to steal Konoha’s treasured [Wind Spirit Crystal]?
What made Lin Feng even more alert was that they repeatedly mentioned their [Wind Core] and the interest of that so-called “Lord Falcon”.
Could it be that there is some special connection between my core and the [Wind Spirit Crystal] or the [Son of the Wind God] plan?
Must stay calm!
Lin Feng forced himself to suppress his surging emotions and engraved every key word he heard in his mind.
[The God of Wind is coming]!
Man-made [Son of the Wind]!
[Altar of the God of Wind]!
Konoha ground veins!
[Crystal of Wind Spirit]!
Sacrifice for the Chunin Exam!
This information must be taken out immediately!
The Black Feather executive in the secret room suddenly changed his tone, with a strong sense of vigilance: “Huh? Something is wrong!”
“Outside…it seems like there’s a mouse eavesdropping!”
Before he finished his words, an extremely violent [Black Feather Energy] shock wave, like exploding ink, suddenly burst out from his body and swept across the metal door in an instant!
Lin Feng cursed in his heart!
No matter how small the gap created by [Mark of the Wind] is, it cannot be hidden from a strong person of this level!
He made the decision without any hesitation!
The sensory connection was instantly cut off!
His body suddenly turned into a green gust of wind that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and quickly rolled back towards the exit along the passage he came from!
“There’s a rat!”
The voice of “Xiao” suddenly became icy cold.
“Chase!”
A deafening bang!
The extremely thick metal door covered with complicated seals was actually blown away from the inside by an unrivaled violent force!
The broken pieces of metal flew around like cannonballs, smashing hard into the walls of the passage, leaving behind hideous dents!
Amid the smoke and dust, the ghostly figure of “Owl” and the Black Feather executive (whose code name seemed to be “Crow”), who exuded an ominous black aura, appeared at the destroyed door at the same time!
Two pairs of cold, murderous eyes accurately locked onto Lin Feng’s rapidly fleeing blurry shadow!
There was an expression of disbelief and shock on the faces of “Owl” and “Crow”!
Especially that “Crow”, in his eyes there was not only shock, but more of a look of angry tyranny!
Such a secret stronghold!
Such a confidential meeting!
How could someone actually sneak in without anyone noticing and eavesdrop on their core plans? !
This is a slap in their face!
Especially the “crow” who claimed to have extraordinary perception, at this moment he felt an indescribable sense of humiliation rushing to his forehead!
“Woo—woo—woo—!”
The shrill alarm sounded throughout the entire underground base at this moment!
The red warning lights flashed wildly, illuminating the dark passage like hell!
Countless Root Ninjas and members of the Black Feather Organization hidden in the dark, like a swarm of awakened bees, swarmed out from every corner!
Lin Feng didn’t even look back and increased his speed to the maximum!
Behind him, two suffocatingly powerful auras locked onto him like maggots on his tarsal bones, chasing him madly!
The entire [Owl’s Nest] came back to life!
A thrilling, life-and-death chase and escape suddenly began under the Konoha Memorial Monument!
Chapter 91: Wind Seal Appears for the First Time and Survives in Desperate Situation (Old Version)
[Wind Element] is pushed to the extreme!
Lin Feng completely transformed into a blurry green whirlwind, running desperately along the dark and damp ground of the passage!
speed!
Even faster!
Behind him, the cold and venomous breath of the “Owl” and the violent and raging [Black Feather Energy] of the “Crow” were like two moving volcanoes, locking him tightly, and the oppressive feeling almost solidified the air!
Getting closer!
Grass!
The speed of these two old monsters is too outrageous!
“Stop him!”
“Don’t let him get away!”
The cold command echoed in the passage.
Around the corner ahead, seven or eight dark shadows suddenly jumped out from the darkness!
There are Root ninjas wearing masks and with dead auras, and there are also members of the Black Feather Organization who exude an ominous black aura!
They moved swiftly and coordinated well, forming a tight blockade in the blink of an eye. Kunai and shurikens rained down like a rainstorm, blocking all routes forward!
A cold light flashed in Lin Feng’s eyes.
The super-strong perception of [Whisper of the Wind God] has already captured the movements of these small fish clearly!
His figure suddenly became illusory and erratic, like a fallen leaf in the wind, and like a ghost, shuttling between the dense attack gaps!
Every twist of the body, every side slide, was done to perfection, narrowly and accurately avoiding those fatal attacks!
Countless kunai and shurikens were nailed to the walls and the ground, sparks flew everywhere, but they didn’t even touch the corner of his clothes!
“Earth Style: Rock Pillar Prison!”
“Water Style: Water Array Wall!”
Upon seeing this, several Root Ninjas immediately changed their strategy and quickly formed seals with their hands!
!
The ground suddenly arched up, and thick rock spikes rose from the ground, instantly blocking the passage ahead!
Immediately afterwards, a surging stream of water appeared out of nowhere, turning into a thick wall of water, completely blocking the way!
Want to trap me?
dream!
“Give me a break!
!”
Lin Feng shouted angrily.
The [Core of Wind] in Dantian is spinning wildly!
[Purifying Wind], erupts!
The cyan-gold storm suddenly swept forward with him as the center!
The violent purifying wind, with unparalleled penetrating and destructive power, slammed heavily into the rock pillars and water walls!
The solid rock pillars broke and crumbled like rotten wood!
The surging wall of water was instantly evaporated by the high-temperature storm the moment it came into contact, turning into white mist all over the sky!
Obstacles were swept away in an instant!
A straight passage appeared before our eyes again!
“Little bastard!
Don’t even think about escaping!
Behind him, there came the angry roar of “Crow”!
The [Black Feather Energy] around him surged like a volcanic eruption. The dark energy condensed madly and turned into an enormous black feather wing behind him that exuded an ominous aura!
A sudden slap!
The speed of “Crow” suddenly increased!
The whole person turned into a black stream of light, and instantly shortened the distance between him and Lin Feng as if teleporting!
The violent murderous intent was almost solidified!
At the same time, the figure of “Owl” followed closely behind, although its speed was slightly slower, but even more bizarre!
He formed a strange seal with his hands, and cold and obscure chakra fluctuations spread.
“Root Secret Technique: Dark Binding!
Dozens of ink-black energy chains, like living poisonous snakes, silently emerged from the shadows on all sides. With a chill that could freeze the soul, they madly coiled around Lin Feng, blocking all his space to dodge!
There is no way to avoid it!
You are playing dirty tricks, right?
Lin Feng’s heart was filled with alarm bells, and the shadow of death instantly loomed over him!
He suddenly activated the new ability he had just acquired!
[Mark of the Wind (Basic)]!
In the Dantian Qi Sea, at the center of the cyan-gold [Core of Wind], the mysterious rune mark suddenly lit up!
An indescribable mysterious power instantly flowed through his limbs and bones and poured into his brain!
Lin Feng only felt that the world in front of him suddenly became clear!
The perception ability skyrocketed again like a rocket!
Everything around became extremely clear, even the flow of energy in the air was clearly visible!
Time is infinitely stretched at this moment!
With the enhanced perception of [Mark of the Wind], the black chains that were winding around him like poisonous snakes, their running trajectories, energy nodes, and even the weakest links were all accurately captured by him!
It’s like turning on “bullet time”!
Lin Feng’s figure turned into a series of blurry afterimages, flashing continuously at an incredible angle and frequency!
His body seemed to have no bones and was as soft as catkins. Every time he swayed, it was just a hair’s breadth, sliding past the edges of those deadly black chains!
Get away!
They all dodged!
The “Owl” at the back let out a low cry of doubt and surprise, obviously not expecting that Lin Feng could dodge his fatal skill!
With the super perception of [Mark of the Wind], Lin Feng keenly captured an extremely concealed ventilation duct hidden in the wall of the upper side passage!
It is made of special materials and can block most chakra detections!
The only way to survive!
“Take a gamble!
Lin Feng did not hesitate and mobilized all the remaining chakra in his body, compressing it madly and gathering it between his palms!
“Wind Style: Vacuum Wave!
He roared and pushed his palms forward!
Visible green wind blades, like cutting machines, slammed heavily on the entrance of the ventilation duct with a sharp whistling sound!
The wall made of special materials began to vibrate violently under the cutting of the violent wind blade, and cracks spread rapidly!
Under Lin Feng’s crazy bombardment at all costs, the entrance of the ventilation duct could no longer hold on and shattered, leaving a gap that was barely big enough for one person to pass through!
“Right now!
There was a gleam in Lin Feng’s eyes.
Without any hesitation, he leaped forward, and his whole body turned into a green pneumatic drill, drilling mercilessly into the narrow and dark ventilation duct!
“Damn it!
”
Seeing this, the “Crow” and the “Owl” roared angrily at the same time!
The two also wanted to rush into the ventilation duct to chase, but they found that the gap was too narrow and could not accommodate their huge bodies at the same time!
“hateful!
“Crow” was completely furious, waving its black wings like a madman and bombarding the entrance of the ventilation duct frantically, vowing to force Lin Feng out!
The entire underground base shook violently as if there was an earthquake, and rubble fell everywhere!
Xiao was relatively calm. He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and quickly issued an order: “Seal off all exits!
We must not let him escape alive!
It was dark inside the ventilation duct.
Lin Feng used his hands and feet like a gecko to quickly shuttle through the narrow pipe.
The crazy roar and explosion of “Crow” echoed in his ears, making his eardrums hurt.
He knew that he had to escape from here as soon as possible!
Send the stolen information back to the village safely!
This is his only mission!
For Konoha!
For yourself!
Chapter 92: Desperate Situation Reappears and Murder Intent Appears (Old Version)
It was pitch dark in the ventilation duct.
Lin Feng was like a frightened mouse, shuttling frantically in the narrow, complex, maze-like pipes.
The harsh sound of metal friction kept echoing in his ears, and the touch of the cold iron made him feel uncomfortable all over.
[Whisper of the Wind God] was running at full power, its perception scanning the front like a radar, identifying every fork in the road and every corner.
He narrowly avoided the occasional right-angle turns and those damn ventilation blades.
The air here is so suffocating!
Dark, damp, with a strong smell of rust and the stench of unknown dirt.
What’s even worse is that some pipe joints will emit turbid gas with a strange smell without any warning.
“Hiss——” a light yellow smoke gushed out.
Lin Feng held his breath, and [Darkness Corrosion Resistance (Primary)] was running in his body, resisting the dizzying invasion of the poison.
Damn, these bastards at the root level, even the ventilation ducts are so shady!
Boom boom——!!
Behind him, the loud explosions and dull vibrations were getting closer and closer like a death warrant!
The metal walls of the ventilation ducts were shaking violently, groaning under the heavy weight, and tiny debris and dust fell down.
That madman “Crow” is still bombing outside!
This broken pipe could collapse at any time and bury him alive!
That old bastard “Xiao” must be busy too, maybe he’s directing his men to encircle the enemy from other exits!
Must be faster!
Lin Feng clenched his teeth so tightly that his gums were almost bleeding.
Chakra was consumed rapidly like a flood, lungs were burning, and every breath had a smell of rust.
My physical and mental strength were almost drained, and the darkness before my eyes even began to show blurry double images.
But he can’t stop!
The cold eyes of “Owl” and “Crow” flashed through his mind, as well as their maddened plan of “The Advent of the Wind God”. A will to survive and a flame of rage supported him, squeezing out the last bit of potential in his body!
The speed soars again!
Ahead!
At the end of the darkness, a vague outline appeared!
A faint light, like a firefly in the dark night, seeped in from the gap in the outline!
exit!
It’s the exit!
hope!
Lin Feng’s spirit suddenly lifted, and he almost instinctively rushed towards the only light!
Closer!
However, when he rushed forward and saw the situation of the exit clearly, his heart suddenly sank!
At the exit, there was a thick metal fence welded shut!
The metal bars of the fence were thicker than his arms, and were engraved with dense runes, with faint chakra fluctuations flowing through them.
It’s a sealing technique!
Want to break it open by force?
With the chakra he has left, it is impossible to do it in a short time!
The pursuers behind him may catch up at any time, or directly destroy this place!
what to do?!
Am I really going to die here?
In a flash, Lin Feng had an idea in his mind!
system!
【Flying Thunder God Kunai】!
Without hesitation, he thought about it and a peculiarly shaped kunai instantly appeared in his hand.
Without thinking too much, he madly injected the little chakra left in his body!
The ritual rune on the kunai handle suddenly lit up!
“Just get through it, me!”
Lin Feng roared angrily and used all his strength to throw the [Flying Thunder God Kunai] towards the gap in the metal fence!
The kunai turned into a stream of light and passed through the gap in the fence with incredible precision. With a “whoosh” sound, it was nailed to the ground outside the exit, leaving a clear mark of the Flying Thunder God technique!
【Flying Thunder God Technique】! Activate!
The space is slightly distorted.
Lin Feng’s figure suddenly disappeared in the narrow and dark ventilation duct!
Next moment!
Fresh, earthy air rushes into your nostrils!
He put his feet firmly on the ground and landed again on the familiar weed-covered ground behind the memorial!
See the light of day again!
Almost at the same moment he landed!
A deafening roar exploded behind him!
The vent he had just come out of, along with the surrounding ground, was completely shattered by a violent black energy!
The terrifying shock wave mixed with gravel and smoke rose into the sky like a small mushroom cloud!
Amid the smoke and dust, two figures emitting a terrifying aura appeared at the edge of the bombed exit.
It was none other than “Owl” and the Black Feather executive codenamed “Crow”!
Two pairs of eyes, like cold blades, with undisguised shock and rage, were fixed on Lin Feng who had just appeared!
Escaped!
But we are not out of danger yet!
After Lin Feng landed, he didn’t pause at all, and didn’t even have time to catch his breath. He immediately turned around and ran towards the center of Konoha Village, towards the direction of the Hokage Building!
Must be as soon as possible!
The information must be handed over to the third-generation old man, or any trusted senior official!
“Huh! You want to leave?”
“Xiao” snorted coldly, and formed seals with his hands as fast as lightning!
“Earth Escape: Yellow Spring Swamp!”
It’s more insidious!
“Earth escape: Earth spear!”
The ground in front of Lin Feng suddenly bulged and exploded without any warning!
Dozens of extremely sharp earth spikes that were as solid as solid matter, like devil’s spears extending from hell, stabbed madly at his feet and all the routes ahead with sharp whistles that tore through the air!
“Wind Style: Wind Skirt!”
Lin Feng cursed in his heart, chakra exploded under his feet, and [Wind Element] was activated again!
His body instantly became blurred and turned into a gust of wind, dodging dangerously through the dense bushes of earth thorns!
Like dancing on the edge of a knife!
Every dodge is accurate to the millimeter!
However, the interference of the earth spikes inevitably slowed down his speed!
This is the gap!
“Die! Bastard!”
“Crow” seized this fleeting opportunity!
He let out a hysterical roar, and the huge black wings behind him suddenly spread out, covering the sky and the sun!
The wings flapped violently!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——!!!
Hundreds and thousands of jet-black feathers gleaming with metallic cold light, like a rain of pear blossom needles, covered the sky, making sharp sounds of breaking through the air, and shot towards Lin Feng!
The dense black rain of feathers instantly blocked all of Lin Feng’s dodging space in front, behind, left, right, and even above his head!
The shadow of death comes again!
Chapter 93: Black Feather Kills the Anbu Aid (Old Version)
Black feathers filled the sky! Like a death announcement!
Lin Feng’s pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle tip, and an extreme sense of crisis instantly gripped his heart, as if it was being tightly grasped by a cold big hand!
Damn! This is a barrage attack!
Inside the Dantian, the cyan-gold [Wind Core] sensed the danger facing its master and began to spin wildly. The surging wind-attribute chakra burst out from the body like a flood!
Without having time to think, he slammed his hands together in front of his chest, quickly condensed his chakra, and then pushed forward hard!
“Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!!”
A low shout!
An extremely strong gust of wind blew out from nowhere, and instantly formed a huge, high-speed rotating wind wall visible to the naked eye in front of him, trying to block out all the overwhelming black feathers of death!
However, the angry attack launched by the “crow” is not to be taken lightly!
Chichichichi——!!
A sharp and piercing corrosion sound was heard!
Those pitch-black feathers actually contained a corrosive energy so strong that it was sickening!
As soon as the tough wind wall came into contact with it, it was easily pierced, torn apart and disintegrated by countless black feathers like a hot knife cutting through butter!
It’s impossible to stop it!
Lin Feng was horrified and decisively gave up this futile defense!
All the chakra rushed to the legs frantically, and the speed soared to the limit again!
The super perception of [Whisper of the Wind God] is working at full capacity, and the brain is frantically analyzing the trajectory of each black feather like a supercomputer!
His body turned into a green phantom, and in the gaps between the impenetrable black feather rain, he performed extreme dodges that were unimaginable for mortals!
Faster! Faster!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The body twists, folds, and tumbles at angles that violate the laws of physics!
A few feathers flashing with ominous black light finally flew past his body narrowly!
The combat uniform was easily torn, and an intense burning pain was felt on the skin!
[Darkness Corrosion Resistance (Primary)] circulated slightly in the body, and a cool feeling flowed through the wound, offsetting some of the corrosive effects of the piercing and bone-eating attack, but that was all!
If you hit me a few more times, I definitely won’t be able to bear it!
At this critical moment when life and death were at risk, he was about to be completely swallowed up by the black rain of feathers!
Several agile figures, like ghosts blending into the darkness, appeared silently in the shadows around the battlefield!
They wore animal masks and standard vests, and their aura was calm and sharp!
It’s the Anbu! Someone sent by the old man from the third generation!
The ANBU captain wearing a mountain cat mask looked as sharp as a hawk. He swept across the battlefield in an instant, immediately grasped the situation, and blurted out a cold order:
“Form a formation!”
“Cover Lin Feng!”
“Hold them!”
The response was muffled and uniform.
Several Anbu members moved extremely quickly, as if they had rehearsed it thousands of times, and instantly formed a tight defensive formation!
“Earth Escape: Earth Flow Wall!”
Indian style flying, chakra surging!
A thick earth wall rises from the ground!
The surging water followed closely behind, covering the wall!
The blazing fireball whizzed out, colliding violently with the oncoming black feather and exploding!
The three attributes of earth, water and fire, with the tacit cooperation of the Anbu, instantly intertwined into a temporary but extremely strong composite defense barrier, which blocked Lin Feng and the “Owl” and “Crow” chasing him from behind!
Good opportunity!
Lin Feng’s eyes flashed with brilliance, and his instinct for survival overwhelmed everything!
Without any hesitation, and without the slightest thought of continuing the fight, he seized the precious breathing space that the Anbu had gained, and his body turned into an arrow, rushing rapidly towards the center of Konoha Village, towards the direction of the iconic Hokage Building!
“Asshole! Want to run?!”
Seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly away, the “crow” was so angry that his lungs were about to explode and he let out a deafening roar!
The huge black wings behind him flapped again, and the violent [Black Feather Energy] surged out, ready to forcibly break through the dark defense formation!
However, a cold hand pressed his shoulder.
It’s “Xiao”.
“That’s enough.”
“Xiao”‘s voice was still hoarse and low, but it was filled with unquestionable calmness.
“The Anbu have already intervened. If we continue to fight, we will only expose more.”
“The intelligence has been leaked and the mission has failed.”
“Damn it! Damn it!!”
“Crow” was so angry that he was shaking all over, and the black feather energy around him was boiling, but he was not a fool who had completely lost his mind.
He also understood that it was not a wise move to confront the elite Anbu head-on in the heart of Konoha.
He glared fiercely at Lin Feng’s back as he disappeared at the end of the street. His eyes looked as if he wanted to eat Lin Feng alive!
Finally, he snorted unwillingly, and together with “Xiao”, his figure was like ink melting into water, quickly sinking into the surrounding shadows and disappearing without a trace.
“The enemy retreated!” whispered an Anbu member.
“Clean up the scene and erase all traces of the battle!”
The ANBU captain, “Yellow Cat”, gave the order, his voice still steady.
Several Anbu immediately began to act, dealing with the holes and remnants of ninjutsu on the ground with clean and efficient movements.
“Bobcat” flashed and appeared in the direction where Lin Feng had fled before. After confirming that it was safe, it chased after him.
“Come with me, the Hokage-sama is waiting for you.”
Concise words were spoken from beneath the cold mask.
Lin Feng didn’t say anything, just nodded, and endured the severe pain and fatigue all over his body. Under the escort of “Mountain Cat”, he ran all the way towards the Hokage Building.
The patrolling ninjas they met along the way, seeing that the Anbu captain was personally escorting them, were tactful and did not step forward to question them.
Soon, the brightly lit Hokage Building appeared before their eyes.
Under the guidance of “Mountain Cat”, Lin Feng went straight to the top floor, to the familiar door of the Hokage’s office, without any obstruction.
Knock knock.
“Bobcat” knocked gently on the door.
“Come in.”
An old but majestic voice came from inside.
“Bobcat” pushed open the door and motioned Lin Feng to go in.
Lin Feng took a deep breath, suppressed his surging blood and energy, and stepped in.
The office was filled with smoke.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was sitting behind his desk, a pipe in his mouth, his brows furrowed, his face looking extremely solemn.
When he saw that Lin Feng, although in a dishevel, with torn clothes and blood at the corners of his mouth, had finally returned safely, a hint of imperceptible relief flashed across his deep eyes.
He put down his pipe, leaned forward slightly, looked at Lin Feng sharply, and asked in a deep voice:
“Lin Feng, what’s the situation?”
Chapter 94: The Rage of the Ninja Hero Spreads a Dragnet (Old Version)
The office was filled with smoke and the strong smell of tobacco was so oppressive that it made people feel breathless.
Lin Feng stood in front of the desk, enduring the severe pain and fatigue as if his whole body was falling apart, and faced Sarutobi Hiruzen’s sharp hawk-like gaze.
He took a deep breath, relaxed his tense nerves a little, and then reported what he saw and heard in the “Owl’s Nest” in the clearest and most concise language possible, without missing a word.
“My Lord Third, the Root rebel ninja ‘Owl’, together with a mysterious organization called ‘Black Feather’, is planning a horrific plan called [The Advent of the Wind God]…”
Lin Feng’s voice was not loud, but it was particularly clear in the quiet office.
“…They used a special secret technique to create an artificial [Son of the Wind], attempting to mobilize the power of Konoha’s earth veins at the secret [Altar of the Wind God] below the Memorial Monument, and combine it with an energy core called [Wind Spirit Crystal]…”
Lin Feng told every detail he overheard, including the horrifying Chunin Exam sacrifice conspiracy, without reservation.
With every extra word, the air in the office seemed to freeze a little.
The wrinkles on Sarutobi Hiruzen’s face were twisted into a ball, and the pipe in his mouth had gone out at some point, with the ashes falling onto the expensive desk, but he was completely unaware.
In those old eyes, which usually contained a hint of gentleness, there was now only icy coldness and an increasingly thick gloom.
When I heard that “Owl” and that Kuroba high-ranking official were so crazy that they planned to use the Chunin Exam, where elites from various countries gathered, to conduct a large-scale sacrifice in order to complete the [Advent of the Wind God]——
Bang!!
A loud bang!
Sarutobi Hiruzen slapped the table hard, and the solid wooden table let out a painful groan!
Unprecedented rage and fierce murderous intent burst out from the old man known as “Ninja Hero” like a substance, filling the entire office!
“Damn it!!”
“How dare they do this! They are playing with the future of Konoha and the peace of the ninja world!!”
The Third Hokage’s voice was low, but it contained anger like a volcanic eruption, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
The report is completed.
Lin Feng only felt a blackness in front of his eyes. The continuous high tension, desperate escape and chakra overdraft made him almost unable to stand.
A strong feeling of exhaustion came over him like a tide, but he gritted his teeth, held on to his body, and waited for the Hokage’s final instructions.
Sarutobi Hiruzen’s chest heaved violently several times as he forcibly suppressed his raging rage.
He raised his head and looked at Lin Feng deeply and seriously.
The look was complicated, with shock, fear, but more of it was an unprecedented solemnity.
The Sandai’s voice regained some calmness, but it was still filled with unquestionable seriousness.
“You have made a great contribution this time!”
“This information… its value is immeasurable! You saved Konoha, and maybe even more!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately pressed the emergency communication button on the table.
“Summon the highest commander of the ANBU! Now!”
“Notify the two advisory elders, Utane Koharu and Mitokado En, that there is an emergency meeting at the highest level! Come to the Hokage’s office immediately!”
The command was brief and urgent.
Soon, several figures with stern auras appeared in the office like ghosts.
The high-ranking Anbu officials wearing different masks, as well as two serious-looking advisory elders, Utane Koharu and Mitokado En, all arrived as quickly as possible.
When the Third Hokage briefly recounted the information that Lin Feng had brought back, the atmosphere in the entire office became depressing to the freezing point.
“Nothing must happen to the Wind Spirit Crystal!” Mizuto Menyan said in a firm tone.
“‘Owl’ and all members of the Black Feather Organization must be captured immediately!” Utane Koharu’s eyes were sharp.
“The Chunin Exam…” a high-ranking Anbu hesitated, “Should it be canceled or postponed immediately? The risk is too great!”
“No!”
Sarutobi Hiruzen flatly rejected it.
He relit his pipe and took a deep breath. In the smoke, his eyes became sharp and deep.
“Canceling the exam will only alert the snakes hiding in the dark and make them retreat back to wait for the next opportunity.”
“Since they want to take advantage of the Chunin Exam…then we will take advantage of their tactics!”
“Turn this exam into their funeral!”
“Pass on my orders!” The third generation’s voice was firm and unquestionable.
“The alert level of Konoha Village is immediately raised to the highest level!”
“All members of the Anbu are dispatched to secretly investigate all suspicious persons and locations in the village, especially the area near the memorial stone. Keep a close eye on them!”
“The protection level of the [Wind Spirit Crystal] has been raised to S-level top secret! Double the manpower and activate the highest level sealing barrier!”
“Yes!” the Anbu and the elders responded in unison.
Finally, the third generation’s gaze fell back on Lin Feng.
“Lin Feng’s safety must be guaranteed to the highest degree.”
“Bobcat.”
“Here!” The Anbu captain who had been guarding the door took a step forward.
“From now on, you are responsible for Lin Feng’s safety and will not leave his side. Announce to the public that Lin Feng was seriously injured during the mission and needs absolute rest. No one is allowed to visit him.”
“Yes!” Bobcat nodded in response.
“Lin Feng, go and rest first and take care of yourself. We may need you to provide more details later.” The third generation’s tone softened a little.
Lin Feng nodded. He really needed to rest now.
Under the escort of Yamacat, Lin Feng left the Hokage’s office and was taken to an extremely hidden Anbu safe house located underground.
The facilities here are complete, but the atmosphere is solemn and it is completely isolated from the outside world.
At the same time, the other members of Class 7 soon received the news that Lin Feng was “seriously injured and recuperating.”
“What? Lin Feng is injured? Is it serious?” Naruto was the first to yell, his face full of worry.
Sakura also looked anxious: “How could this happen? Can we go see him?”
Although Sasuke didn’t say anything, his frown showed his concern.
However, when they tried to visit, they were politely but firmly stopped by the ANBU members guarding the hospital or near Lin Feng’s home.
There is only one reason: “Lin Feng is seriously injured and needs absolute silence. The Hokage has ordered that no one is allowed to disturb him.”
Inside the safe house.
Lin Feng lay on the soft bed, feeling his tense nerves finally relax completely.
A feeling of relief for surviving the disaster overwhelmed me.
He closed his eyes and began to silently review this life-threatening trip to the Owl’s Nest.
The loss was not small, the chakra was almost exhausted, and he also suffered some injuries.
But the rewards…are equally huge!
It was not only the information that was enough to shock the entire Konoha high-level leadership, but also the [Mark of the Wind (Primary)] rewarded by the system, and another breakthrough in the recognition of the limits of his own strength.
What to do next?
Recover from injuries, regain strength, and then… wait for the storm that will break out during the Chunin Exam.
Chapter 95: Survive a Narrow Escape in Exchange for a God-Level Reward (Old Version)
The bed in the safe house was incredibly soft, almost swallowing a person whole.
Lin Feng lay on his back, feeling every inch of his muscles trembling and whimpering slightly after being overly tense and then suddenly relaxed. The surroundings were quiet and silent, with only his slightly heavy breathing.
It feels so good to be alive.
The feeling of relief at surviving the disaster was like the mellowest wine, slowly permeating his exhausted soul and bringing an almost illusory peace.
He closed his eyes, and with a thought, his consciousness instantly sank into the familiar system space that only he could see.
It’s time to count the spoils! I almost lost my life in this dangerous place, so how can I justify my life-threatening performance if I don’t make a lot of money?
The cold system prompt sound rang out on time, with its unchanging mechanical indifference, but it sounded particularly pleasant at this moment.
[Ding! It was detected that the host successfully sneaked into the enemy’s important base (Owl’s Nest), stole S-level confidential intelligence, and successfully escaped from the pursuit of a powerful enemy. Mission completion: Excellent! ]It’s coming! It’s coming!
Lin Feng’s spirits suddenly perked up, and his sleepiness dissipated a lot!
[Rewards are being settled…]The familiar progress bar was jumping in his field of vision, and Lin Feng felt his heartbeat also speeding up along with the progress bar.
[Rewards: Diamond-level lottery chance x1, Gold-level lottery chance x3, Silver-level lottery chance x5, Points +10,000 points! ]“F… shit!!”
Lin Feng’s consciousness almost couldn’t help but do a backflip on the spot in the system space!
Diamond-level lottery! Once?! He had only heard of this thing in legends, and he had never even touched a hair before! Did the system finally find its conscience, or did it think that it was too difficult for him to escape death this time and gave him a pension?
There are three more gold levels! Five more silver levels! Plus 10,000 points!
It’s a great deal! This is definitely a great deal! I risked being corroded into the enemy camp, but now it seems worth it! It’s damn worth it!
Forcibly suppressing the ecstasy that was about to burst through his head, Lin Feng rubbed his non-existent “hands” and decided to follow traditional virtues and start with the appetizers.
“System, let’s start with five silver-level draws! To build up our luck!”
Five silver-white lights flashed by at a very fast speed.
[Ding! Obtained advanced ninja tool: special smoke bomb x5! ][Ding! Obtained advanced ninja tool: High-explosive detonating talisman x10! ][Ding! Obtained consumables: Powerful healing potion x3! ][Ding! Obtained consumables: Intermediate Chakra Supplement x2! ][Ding! Obtained consumables: Detoxification Pill (Advanced) x1! ]Well, it’s OK, they are all practical things that can produce immediate results. The more smoke bombs and detonating talismans, the better. The healing potion and chakra supplement are just enough to solve the urgent need. That advanced detoxification pill… I hope I will never need it, but it’s better to have it than not.
Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction, his eyes fixed on the three golden gold-level lottery opportunities.
“Keep going! Gold level draw, give me three consecutive draws!!”
On the system interface, three golden lights that were several times brighter than the silver level suddenly exploded, almost blinding Lin Feng’s eyes!
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the rare ninjutsu: Wind Style·Rasenshuriken (initial unlock·learning scroll)! ]An ancient scroll was quietly suspended, with extremely complex and mysterious ritual patterns engraved on the surface. Just by looking at it, one could feel an unparalleled, all-cutting aura coming towards him.
(Note: This technique is extremely powerful, but it places a heavy burden on the body. It requires the simultaneous practice of a large number of shadow clones to change the nature and form. There is a serious risk of backlash, so please learn it with caution.)
Rasenshuriken!! The guy who eats the prince’s meal!
Lin Feng felt that his breathing was stagnant for a moment! This is a genuine S-level forbidden technique! Although it is only a “preliminary” version, and it also comes with a scary risk warning, the power of this thing, anyone who uses it will know! This is the training requirement… Shadow clone? I don’t seem to know this trick yet. It seems that the points have to be spent on this.
Before he could fully recover from this huge surprise, the prompt sound after the second golden light dissipated came.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the special item: Concealment Cloak (Gold Level)! ]A cloak as black as ink, as if it could swallow up all the light, appeared in the inventory. When I touched it with my consciousness, I could feel a strange, cool and silky texture.
(Effect: It can greatly reduce the fluctuation of one’s own breath and chakra, isolate most of the perception of ninjutsu detection, and improve the stealth and concealment effects.)
Good stuff! Stealth, murder and robbery… Ah, it’s the top equipment for secret missions! If I had this thing earlier, I might have been able to sneak into the Owl’s Nest more smoothly.
Immediately afterwards, the third golden light also slowly dissipated.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Bloodline Limit Fragment: Swift Escape (1/3)! ]A palm-sized piece of strange debris, flashing with green wind and purple arcs, was quietly suspended, exuding an astonishing sense of speed.
(Note: Gather all three fragments and fuse them together to obtain the Bloodline Limit: Swift Release! Swift Release is the ultimate combination of wind and lightning, giving the user speed beyond the limit!)
Swift Escape! The Darui from Kumogakure who played with black thunder seemed to have this bloodline! Extreme speed! Damn, if I had this earlier, I wouldn’t have been so embarrassed when being chased by the “crow”! It’s just… one third? System, you profiteer!
Lin Feng’s heart was beating wildly as if it was hit by a heavy hammer. The gold-level lottery really lived up to its reputation! The spiral shuriken learning scroll, the stealth cloak, and the swift escape fragments, any of which alone would be a top-notch item that would make people laugh in their dreams!
He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, trying to calm his boiling emotions.
His gaze finally fell on the only diamond-level lottery opportunity that exuded an indescribable dignity and mystery, and seemed to contain the aura of some supreme law!
This is the real big head! The finale!
“System…use…diamond-level lottery!”
There was a slight tremor in his voice that he himself did not even notice, caused by excessive anticipation.
[Diamond level lottery starts…]The entire system space seemed to hum and vibrate slightly!
Indescribable, a glow that was a billion times brighter than all the previous golden lights combined instantly filled Lin Feng’s entire vision! That light was not simply bright, but seemed to contain the supreme mystery of the flow of galaxies and the birth and death of the universe!
An indescribable outline of an object that exudes antiquity, vastness, yet contains endless vitality, slowly condenses and emerges in the center of the dazzling glow! It seems to have crossed the boundaries of time and space and descended here!
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the god-level item (fragment): Leaf of the World Tree (1/9)! ]A crystal-clear, palm-sized emerald green leaf, as if condensed from the purest and most original life energy, lay quietly in the system space’s inventory. The leaf veins were clearly visible, like mysterious lines formed naturally, with a faint light flowing on them, exuding an unimaginable rhythm of life and natural breath.
(Explanation: Contains extremely weak life energy from the origin of the world. After wearing or absorbing it, it can slowly repair all damage to the body and soul, continuously nourish the origin of the soul, and slightly increase the affinity for natural energy. Gathering all nine pieces may reproduce some of the power of the World Tree.)
The leaves of the World…Tree?!
Lin Feng was completely dumbfounded. His brain instantly went blank, as if even his ability to think was overwhelmed by this sudden “god-level” information.
This thing… Just hearing the name makes it sound so awesome, right? ! World Tree? This is almost mythical!
Although it was only a one-ninth fragment, the effect described here… slowly repairing all damage to the body and soul? Continuously nourishing the essence of the soul? And also slightly increasing the affinity for natural energy? Isn’t this one of the prerequisites for immortal arts? !
This isn’t really changing one’s fate, this is simply reshaping one’s destiny!
He was previously scratched by the black feathers of “Crow”, and although he temporarily suppressed it with the help of [Darkness Corrosion Resistance (Primary)] and the basic treatment provided by the Anbu, the cold corrosive feeling was not completely eliminated, not to mention the huge damage to his body and mind caused by fleeing for his life and forcibly urging chakra.
But this seemingly insignificant leaf… is like a timely help in times of need, no, it is like the sunshine in the snow!
This adventure was worth the bet!
The reward for risking his life was so great that his whole body was shaking with extreme excitement!
Chapter 96: Survive from Despair, Renew the Divine Leaf (Old Version)
Inside the safe house, it was so quiet that you could hear the sound of dust falling to the ground.
Lin Feng sat cross-legged on the bed, his consciousness immersed in the emerald green leaf in the system space.
[Leaf of the World Tree (1/9)].
This thing makes people feel peaceful just by looking at it.
“absorb!”
A thought occurred to him.
The crystal clear leaf turned into a soft green light, silently merged into his consciousness, and then spread to every part of his body in reality.
An indescribable, gentle yet majestic life energy, like a warm current of thawing in early spring, instantly swept over his whole body!
It was so warm and comfortable that he almost moaned.
The cold and corrosive feeling left by the scratches of the “crow”‘s black feathers before, under the impact of this life energy, was like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun, and it quickly melted and disintegrated, leaving no trace.
The muscle aches and mental fatigue caused by the desperate escape, and the slight tingling in the meridians caused by the forced activation of chakra, were all recovered and healed at a speed visible to the naked eye under the nourishment of this warm current.
Even deep in the soul, there came a comfortable feeling of being gently caressed and nourished, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
It feels so fucking good!
This feeling is better than soaking in a hot spring ten times!
Physical condition is instantly restored!
No, even better than its peak!
He could clearly feel that the activity of the [Immortal Body] in his body was further stimulated, and every cell was filled with unprecedented vitality.
The [Wind Core] in the Dantian rotates more smoothly and roundly, and the efficiency of chakra intake and exhalation is greatly improved.
What surprised him even more was that his perception of the outside world, especially his sensitivity to natural energy, became clearer and more acute!
The range of [Whisper of the Wind God] does not seem to have expanded significantly, but the accuracy of perception has been improved to a higher level, as if the radar has been replaced with a high-definition probe.
As a result, [Mark of the Wind (Primary)] became more active, and his affinity for wind increased slightly.
“Is this the power of a god-level item (fragment)? Even if it’s only one-ninth of it, it’s still so outrageous…”
Lin Feng smacked his lips, feeling the transformation that seemed like a complete rebirth, and his heart was filled with joy.
Just as Lin Feng was enjoying the pleasure of recovering and improving his strength, the atmosphere in the Hokage’s office was still as solemn as iron.
The emergency meeting continues.
The core issue is how to deal with the mess of “Root” and the culprit of defection – “Xiao”!
“We must conduct a thorough investigation! All personnel associated with Root must not be spared!”
Advisory elder Utane Koharu spoke in a cold tone, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he had an undisguised determination to kill.
“Although Danzo is dead, his ideas are deeply poisonous. The existence of Root itself is a cancer to Konoha! It must be eradicated!”
Mitomon Yan pushed his glasses and said in a deep voice: “I agree with Xiaochun’s opinion. If ‘Xiao’ can instigate such a conspiracy, he must have supporters inside ‘Root’. If we don’t eliminate them completely, there will be endless troubles!”
The two advisory elders were extremely resolute and advocated cutting the Gordian knot.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep puff from his pipe, slowly exhaled smoke rings, and frowned.
“Not now.”
He shook his head, his voice low.
“Danzo has just died, and the people in the Root are in a state of panic, which has affected a wide range of people. A hasty purge will only push those people to desperate measures, causing greater internal turmoil, and may even be used by external forces.”
“The most urgent task is to stabilize the situation, catch the main culprits such as ‘Owl’ and the Black Feather Organization, and gradually disintegrate the remaining forces of ‘Root’, rather than creating panic.”
The Third Hokage’s considerations were more complicated, as he needed to balance stability and eliminating threats.
The meeting fell into a brief stalemate.
And in some dark corners of Konoha Village, undercurrents are quietly surging.
Some remnants of the “Root” who were still blindly loyal to Danzo, or who were secretly brainwashed and controlled by “Owl”, learned through secret channels the news that [Owl’s Nest] was destroyed and the [Wind God’s Advent] plan was exposed.
“It’s that brat named Lin Feng! He destroyed everything we have!”
“Lord Owl said that he is the biggest obstacle for us to revive the Root and implement Lord Danzo’s will!”
“Kill him! He must be killed! To avenge our dead companions!”
Anger fueled by hatred and wrong ideas spreads in the darkness.
They blamed all their failures and resentments on the “informer” Lin Feng, completely unaware that they had already become “Xiao’s” pawns.
At the same time, the mysterious organization called “Black Feather” did not stop because of a setback.
Inside the stronghold, “Crow” was so angry at the thought that the hateful kid had escaped right under his nose and stole such important secrets that his black feathers trembled and he let out an unpleasant scream like a night owl.
“What a shame! We must not let him go!”
“Pass the order down and activate the ‘spies’ lurking in Konoha. Find that Lin Feng at all costs and bring him back! No matter if he’s dead or alive!”
The orders of “Crow” were full of brutality and murderous intent.
And behind all this chaos, “Owl” is like a poisonous spider hiding in the center of a spider web, observing everything calmly.
Although he was angry about the destruction of the Owl’s Nest and the exposure of his plan, it was not entirely without benefits.
At least, the attention of Konoha’s top leaders was attracted.
He smiled grimly, and through special means, delivered some “inadvertent” information and hints to the remnants of the “Root” who were blinded by hatred, and the “Black Feather” organization eager for revenge.
Kill with a borrowed knife.
Let these two forces attack that annoying little devil, and it would be best if they could die together.
Even if he cannot be killed, it can greatly disrupt the vision within Konoha and buy him more time to complete the final preparations for the “Advent of the Wind God” plan.
For a moment, several overt or covert malicious intentions, like invisible poisonous snakes, began to quietly gather towards the Anbu safe house where Lin Feng was.
At the entrance of the safe house, Captain Bobcat, who was in charge of guarding, frowned slightly under his mask.
He was keenly aware that there seemed to be more prying eyes around him, and there was an unusual tension in the air.
“Increase vigilance! Report any abnormalities immediately!”
A cold order was given, and the defense level around the safe house was raised again.
Inside the house.
Although Lin Feng was immersed in the joy of recovering his strength, the super perception brought by [Whisper of the Wind God] still allowed him to vaguely catch the abnormal fluctuations in the air.
It was like there were many pairs of eyes, silently watching this place in the darkness.
A depressing feeling as if a storm is about to come quietly enveloped my heart.
“It seems that hiding here is not absolutely safe…”
He was well aware that the intelligence he brought back was so explosive that it would inevitably touch the nerves of some people.
Hiding is not a long-term solution after all.
Only when your own strength is strong enough can you calmly deal with all storms!
He took a deep breath, immersed his mind into the system space, and his eyes fell on the ancient scroll that recorded [Wind Style: Rasenshuriken].
S-level forbidden technique!
The difficulty of cultivation is extremely high and the risks are huge!
But the power… is equally devastating!
“Shadow Clone… Looks like I need to use my points to trade this technique out first.”
He opened the points mall and quickly found the learning scroll of [Multiple Shadow Clone Technique]. Looking at the high point price, he felt a little painful, but he still gritted his teeth and exchanged it.
Then, he looked at [Wind Style: Rasenshuriken].
“Just try it here.”
Although the space in the safe house is not large, it should be enough to carry out preliminary practice of chakra property changes and form changes.
He stretched out his right hand, concentrated his mind, and began to follow the instructions on the scroll, trying to condense and shape the wind attribute chakra, and add high-speed rotation…
An extremely unstable chakra ball with a strong cutting sensation emerged in the palm of his hand, making a harsh noise, as if it could explode out of control at any time!
Cold sweat instantly broke out on Lin Feng’s forehead.
This thing…isn’t that easy to practice!
Chapter 97 The Beginning of Wind Escape (Old Version)
Inside the safe house’s training ground, the air hummed due to the violent disturbance of chakra.
A ball of rapidly rotating chakra was suspended in the palm of Lin Feng’s right hand, making a sharp and piercing noise like the friction and collision of countless tiny blades.
This ball of chakra was extremely unstable, and sharp wind blades constantly emitted from its edges, cutting the surrounding air with a hissing sound and leaving shallow scratches on the ground.
“Damn, this is much harder than rolling meatballs!” Lin Feng gritted his teeth, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
The learning scroll requirements for [Wind Style: Rasenshuriken] are too abnormal, and the requirements for the changes in the shape and nature of chakra are extremely demanding.
He tried to create two shadow clones.
“Bang! Bang!”
Two shadow clones that looked exactly like him appeared and helped control the chakra ball in his palm.
The situation improved slightly, and the chakra ball became more stable, but the rotation speed and cutting force could never reach the level described in the scroll.
What’s even more terrible is that it only lasted for a dozen seconds before Lin Feng felt the chakra in his dantian rushing out like a flood.
There were waves of sharp pain like needles pricking his right arm, as if countless tiny wind blades were cutting his meridians and cells.
“Hiss!” He couldn’t help but take a breath and quickly dispersed his chakra.
If it weren’t for the warm life energy of the [Leaves of the World Tree] that continuously repaired the damage to his body, coupled with the powerful recovery ability brought by the [Immortal Body], he suspected that his arm would be crippled after just a few training sessions.
This S-level forbidden technique is indeed no joke!
For the next few days, Lin Feng fought against the Rasenshuriken in the safe house.
Injured, recovered, practiced again, injured again, recovered again…
Relying on the super control of wind escape from the [Wind Core], as well as the abnormal combination of [Leaves of the World Tree] and [Sage Body], his progress is extremely fast.
Although he was still a long way from completing a real, throwable Rasenshuriken, he was already able to stably condense a high-speed rotating wind-style chakra ball with terrifying cutting power in his palm.
Although it’s not as powerful as the complete form, it’s definitely powerful enough to kill someone!
In addition to practicing ninjutsu, he also took the time to try out the [Invisibility Cloak].
Once he put it on, his whole body seemed to blend into the shadows.
The aura and chakra fluctuations were almost completely restrained, and even the footsteps became barely audible.
He specifically asked the Anbu captain “Yobate” who was in charge of guarding him to sense it.
As a result, the “Bobcat” almost didn’t notice him who was so close to it without deliberately using the secret technique to detect.
“Good stuff!” Lin Feng patted the cloak with satisfaction. This thing is simply a magic weapon for stealth, sneak attacks, and escape!
That day, “Bobcat” knocked on the door and walked in.
He was still wearing the cold cat-faced mask, and his voice was calm: “Lin Feng, the Third Generation Master wants to see you.”
“Oh?” Lin Feng raised his eyebrows, “Now?”
“Yes, there are some details about the [Wind Core] restraining the [Black Feather Energy] that I need to confirm with you.” Bobcat said concisely.
“Okay, let’s go.” Lin Feng nodded and put on the [Invisibility Cloak].
Led by “Mountain Cat”, the two did not take the usual path, but entered a secret passage known only to the Anbu.
The passage was dark and damp, with only the faint light stones inlaid on the walls providing lighting. The sound of footsteps echoed in the narrow corridor.
As he walked through, Lin Feng was on high alert.
The super-strong perception brought by [Whisper of the Wind God] allowed him to catch several extremely obscure prying gazes, sticking to his back like poisonous snakes.
There was even a faint murderous intent in the air, carrying with it a breath of death.
Lock on to his location.
“It seems that there are people who can’t wait any longer…” Lin Feng’s mouth curled up into an icy arc.
He calmly activated [Whisper of the Wind God] and traced back to the source of the spying.
Several ninjas disguised as ordinary villagers or maintenance workers hid in the shadows of the passage, emitting a faint chakra mark belonging to the “Root”.
Haha, they are indeed the remnants of Danzo.
Lin Feng sneered in his heart, he deliberately slowed down his pace to create opportunities for the opponent.
In a narrow passage, at a corner.
A Root ninja disguised as a maintenance worker, holding a wrench and lowering his head, seems to be inspecting a pipe on the wall.
When Lin Feng’s figure appeared at the corner, he looked up suddenly, and a crazy murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
“Die, traitor!”
He let out a low growl, and the wrench in his hand instantly turned into a sharp blade and stabbed hard into Lin Feng’s back!
Almost at the same time, two other “Root” ninjas hiding in the dark also suddenly launched an attack.
Kunai and shuriken attacked from different angles with sharp sounds of breaking through the air, blocking all of Lin Feng’s retreat routes!
“Bobcat” reacted extremely quickly and drew his sword to block the opponent’s attack the moment he launched it.
But the opponent was obviously well prepared, and his attack angle was tricky and ruthless, with only one target – Lin Feng!
A cold light flashed in Lin Feng’s eyes, and at the critical moment, his body twisted at an incredible angle, almost violating the limits of ergonomics.
[Wind Elementalization] is activated instantly!
His body turned into a wisp of breeze, passing through the gap between the sharp blade and the kunai, avoiding the fatal sneak attack.
At the same time, at his fingertips, a tiny, high-speed rotating wind-style chakra ball quietly condensed and took shape.
Backhand shot!
“Fuck you!”
Lin Feng pressed this chakra ball, which was concentrated with terrifying cutting power, hard on the attacker’s chest!
There was no screaming, no wailing, not even a trace of struggle.
The violent wind chakra exploded instantly!
Like countless invisible sharp blades, they tore the attacker’s body into pieces!
Blood splattered and bones broke!
The Root ninja didn’t even have time to react before a bloody hole exploded in his chest and he flew backwards like a torn sack, with no telling whether he was alive or dead!
One hit!
Flash sale!
The whole audience was shocked!
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
The remaining two Root ninjas stood still as if they were under a spell, their eyes filled with fear and disbelief.
They could never have imagined that this seemingly harmless Genin actually possessed such terrifying power!
“Now, it’s your turn!”
Lin Feng turned around slowly, his eyes as cold as a knife, as if the god of death had arrived.
“Want to kill me? Are you ready to die?!”
Chapter 98: The Bloody Night Owl Arrives in the Dark Passage (Old Version)
In the narrow and dark passage, the smell of blood instantly filled the air, so thick that it was nauseating.
The Root Ninja whose chest was smashed by Lin Feng’s blow twitched a few times and then became completely silent.
This scene is too shocking and too bloody!
The madness on the faces of the remaining two Root ninjas froze instantly, and was replaced by uncontrollable fear, and their pupils contracted violently with horror.
The assassination skills they were so proud of were as fragile as paper in front of this Genin!
Even the Anbu captain “Yameno” next to him, under the cold cat-face mask, flashed a hint of imperceptible surprise.
This kid’s growth rate… is simply outrageous!
The power of the wind-style ninjutsu that he casually performed was far beyond the scope of a Genin!
“Let’s go together! Kill him!”
After a brief moment of silence, the fear was replaced by deeper despair and madness.
The remaining two Root Ninjas looked at each other, knowing that there would be no peaceful ending today, and immediately flew their hands and formed hand seals at an astonishing speed.
The chakra fluctuations suddenly rose, and it was obvious that he was going to use a powerful combination of ninjutsu to fight a desperate battle!
“Bobcat”‘s eyes turned cold, and the short knife at his waist instantly came out half an inch, and his fierce murderous aura locked onto the two men.
The job of the Anbu is to eliminate threats without any hesitation.
“etc.”
Lin Feng raised his hand and stopped the “Mountain Cat” from moving.
He turned his face to the side, a cold arc appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were dancing with excitement and fighting spirit.
“Captain, leave it to me. It’s a good time to try out my new abilities.”
“Bobcat” paused, feeling the confidence and even a little madness in Lin Feng, and silently retracted the knife.
Lin Feng moved!
With a light tap of his feet, he rushed towards the two Root Ninjas who were performing hand seals like an arrow!
The speed was so fast that only a shadow was left!
The strong physique and explosive power brought by [Sage Body] are fully activated, and chakra is flowing continuously in the meridians!
With the help of [Whisper of the Wind God] to accurately predict the enemy’s movements, his figure is erratic, like a ghost!
Before a ninja could complete the hand seal, he saw a blur and a strong wind blew in his face!
He instinctively wanted to defend himself, but found that Lin Feng’s speed had exceeded his reaction limit!
Lin Feng kicked him hard on the side of his waist with a whip kick like a sledgehammer!
The sound of bones breaking can be clearly heard!
The ninja screamed, and his body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, hitting the wall heavily, spitting blood from his mouth, and his life or death was unknown!
The other ninja saw this and his eyes were filled with horror. He no longer cared about any combination of ninjutsu and instinctively retreated backwards, trying to create some distance.
Too late!
Lin Feng’s mouth curled up in a cold arc.
He quickly formed seals with his hands and chakra surged wildly!
“Wind Style: Wind Blade Dance!”
The low shout was like the whisper of death.
In an instant, countless tiny green wind blades appeared out of thin air and danced wildly around him!
Like a sudden storm, it swept towards the retreating Root Ninja!
The number and density of wind blades are so great that it makes one’s scalp numb!
The Root Ninja’s soul was about to escape from his body. He desperately formed hand seals and tried to perform defensive ninjutsu.
Earth escape·Earth flow wall!
A thick earth wall suddenly rose from the ground and blocked the way.
However, in front of Lin Feng’s wind blade, which had been amplified by the [Wind Core] and integrated with the fairy chakra, the so-called earth wall was as fragile as tofu dregs!
The teeth-grinding cutting sounds rang out as densely as popping beans!
The surface of the earth wall was instantly covered with dense cracks, which then spread rapidly like a spider web, and finally shattered with a loud bang!
The wind blade was like a flood that broke through a dam, instantly engulfing the ninja!
Puff puff puff puff!
The sound of flesh being cut is like the music of death!
Blood splattered everywhere like a fountain, staining the walls and the ground red!
The Root Ninja didn’t even have time to scream before he was cut into a sieve by countless wind blades. His flesh and blood were blurred, it was a horrible sight!
The passage fell into deathly silence again.
There was only the sound of blood dripping, hitting the eardrums again and again like a death warrant.
Lin Feng stood in a pool of blood, his eyes cold, like a blood-soaked Shura.
However, just as he was about to resolve the battle once and for all, a heart-pounding sense of crisis suddenly descended!
The air around seemed to solidify in an instant, becoming sticky and heavy!
It becomes difficult to breathe!
A wave of [Black Feather Energy] that was more powerful and more evil than the “Wind Scythe” and “Poison Swamp” encountered before suddenly exploded like a volcanic eruption!
Eerie, cold, and creepy laughter came from all directions.
Several dark shadows emerged from the shadows of the surrounding buildings like ghosts, at an incredibly fast speed!
In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng and “Lynx” were surrounded!
Black Feather Organization!
Moreover, those coming this time are more in number and stronger in strength!
The leader was a black-feathered ninja, wearing a black feather robe and a ferocious night owl mask on his face. His aura was cold and powerful, and he was obviously a small leader!
Code name——”Night Owl”!
“Boy, you’re really hard for me to find!”
“Night Owl” looked at Lin Feng with a grin, his voice hoarse, like the cry of a night owl, which was chilling.
“Lord Crow is very interested in you. Come with us! We may be able to save your life!”
Following a command from “Night Owl”, the surrounding Black Feather members surged up like a tide, cooperating with the remaining Root ninjas who emerged from the shadows again, completely surrounding Lin Feng and “Mountain Cat”, forming an impeccable killing formation!
“Bobcat’s” face turned pale in an instant, and his eyes became extremely serious.
The situation is extremely bad!
Without hesitation, he crushed a special flare hidden in his sleeve.
A red smoke that only the dark forces could discern instantly rose into the air, standing out in the dark passage.
Emergency signal!
After doing all this, “Mountain Cat” immediately drew out his short knife, protected Lin Feng in front of him, lowered his voice, and said in a hurried and solemn tone: “The situation is not good! There are too many enemies, and there are leaders! It will take time for the Anbu support to arrive, we must break out immediately!”
Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly, and [Wind God’s Whisper] was running at full power, scanning everything around him like a radar.
There are more than a dozen enemies!
The Black Feather Organization and the remnants of the Root are mixed together, cooperating well and launching a fierce offensive!
What made him feel even more difficult was that the “Night Owl” had unfathomable strength, which brought him an unprecedented sense of oppression!
“Breakout?”
The corners of Lin Feng’s mouth rose slightly, but there was no fear in his eyes. Instead, there was a light of excitement.
“Why do you want to break out?”
He slowly raised his head and glanced at the hideous-looking enemies around him. His tone was calm, but it carried a heart-pounding chill.
“Since they want to play, then play with them.”
“Just in time, let me try out my new ninjutsu and see how powerful it is!”
A carefully planned ambush against Lin Feng officially began in a dark corner of Konoha Village!
Lin Feng is surrounded and the situation is critical!
Chapter 99: Taking drugs to kill Night Owl and inflict heavy damage (old version)
“You are the ones who are looking for death!”
Lin Feng’s voice was not loud, but it was like the explosion of ice, clearly transmitted to the ears of every enemy.
An ugly and weird laugh emanated from under the hideous mask of “Night Owl”.
“You are so arrogant! I will cut off your hands and feet first, and then see how arrogant you can be!”
Before he finished speaking, the “Night Owl” moved!
He didn’t even make any seals, he just waved his hands casually!
Two feather blades as black as ink and condensed as if they were real, with a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air and stirred up a vicious wind, one on the left and one on the right, slashing towards Lin Feng’s neck and waist!
The speed is extremely fast!
All evasive angles are blocked!
“Bobcat’s” pupils suddenly shrank, and just as he was about to warn, he saw that Lin Feng did not retreat but advanced!
Lin Feng shouted, and [Wind Elementization] was activated again!
The moment the feather blade touched his body, his body suddenly became illusory, like smoke blown away by the wind, and he narrowly passed through two fatal blows!
The sharp black feather energy almost brushed the edge of his “body”, and the strong wind it created made his robe rustle.
The next second, his figure appeared behind a Black Feather member who had not yet reacted as if by teleportation!
The cold murderous intent made the Black Feather member’s hair stand on end!
The green wind blade condensed at the fingertips of Lin Feng’s right hand, without hesitation, cleanly and neatly slashed across the opponent’s fragile neck!
Warm blood spurted out like a fountain!
The Black Feather member’s eyes widened, and a hoarse sound of air leaked from his throat. He fell down limply with an expression of disbelief.
Another one!
“Kill him!”
The other enemies were enraged by Lin Feng’s ghostly movements and ruthless methods, and they rushed forward with roars!
“Mountain Cat” was also fighting fiercely with several Root Ninjas and Black Feather members at this moment.
He was agile and his swordsmanship was fierce and tricky. Every blow he made was aimed directly at the vital points. He was worthy of being an elite in the dark side. He suppressed his opponent in a short period of time. The battle was extremely fierce with swords flashing and clanging.
A Root ninja slammed his hands on the ground!
Several thick earth walls rose from the ground, trying to compress Lin Feng’s movement space and trap him on the spot.
At the same time, several Black Feather members raised their hands at the same time.
“Black Feather Arrow Rain!”
Dense black feathers shot out like arrows, covering all directions where Lin Feng might move, and carrying out long-range fire suppression!
Lin Feng snorted coldly, and his figure moved at high speed in the narrow space like a butterfly flying through flowers.
[Whisper of the Wind God] took all the attack trajectories under his control. He could always move half a step ahead and narrowly avoid the encirclement of the earth wall and the shooting of black feathers.
Occasionally, when there were black-feather arrows that he could not dodge, he would activate the [Purifying Wind].
Green air currents surrounded his body, and as soon as the black feathers containing evil energy approached, they were like encountering their nemesis. Their speed dropped sharply, their energy quickly disappeared, and they lost their threat.
This made the Black Feather members feel extremely frustrated, and their attacks had much less effect on Lin Feng!
During the battle, Lin Feng was pleasantly surprised to find that the [Mark of Wind (Primary)] between his eyebrows was slightly hot.
Not only can it mark energy fluctuations, but at this moment it is more like a super analyzer. It can vaguely analyze the flow of enemy chakra and even capture the tiny flaws when their ninjutsu is activated!
This made his combat efficiency soar again!
Often you can evade or counterattack before the enemy’s ninjutsu is formed!
“Useless! A bunch of useless! They can’t even take down a Genin!”
“Night Owl” was so angry that his lungs were about to explode when he saw his men falling one after another or being entangled by “Lynx Cat”!
He let out a sharp neigh and could no longer hold back, so he took action himself!
His figure disappeared like a ghost. The next moment, sharp claws filled with rich black feather energy appeared in front of Lin Feng and went straight to dig out his heart!
The speed is much faster than that of previous Black Feather members!
“Are you finally willing to take action yourself?”
Lin Feng’s eyes flashed, he didn’t dare to delay, he mobilized the chakra in his body, condensed the power of wind escape, and faced the attack head-on!
Wind chakra and black feather energy collide violently!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The dull explosion sounded continuously in the narrow passage!
The air waves rolled, blowing gravel flying!
Lin Feng only felt a huge force surging, his arms went numb, his blood was surging, and he took several steps back before he could stabilize his body!
This “Night Owl” is really powerful! He is at least an elite jonin!
If we fight head-on, I am not his opponent yet!
“System! Draw a lottery for me! Gold level! Designated direction: combat assistance!”
Lin Feng roared in his heart!
[Ding! Consuming a gold-level lottery opportunity…drawing…][Congratulations to the host for obtaining a one-time item: Rage Potion (Gold Level). After taking it, all attributes will be increased by 30% in a short period of time, but there are slight side effects. ]“Side effects? Who cares!”
Lin Feng roared in his heart without hesitation!
With a thought, a test tube emitting a faint golden liquid appeared in his hand.
Without any hesitation, he tilted his head back and poured the sticky medicine into his mouth!
An indescribable violent force, like lava from a volcano bursting through a dam, instantly exploded in his body!
Every cell is cheering and roaring!
Chakra is boiling and surging like boiling water!
Power! Speed! Reaction!
All attributes soared!
His eyes were instantly covered with a layer of light scarlet, and a violent and ferocious aura rose into the sky!
That invisible powerful air wave even forced the “Night Owl” who was pressing forward step by step to retreat several steps!
The eyes under the “Night Owl” mask were full of horror!
How could this little devil’s aura surge so much in an instant? !
Lin Feng seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, with a fierce look flashing in his eyes!
His hands formed seals so quickly that it was almost impossible to capture with the naked eye!
Wind Style Chakra is mobilized, compressed, shaped and rotated with unprecedented efficiency!
Chichichi——!!!
A noise that was harsher and sharper than the previous practice, as if it could tear the soul apart, suddenly rang out!
A ball of chakra that was spinning at high speed, shining with dazzling green light, and covered with countless fine wind blades on the edges, quickly formed in his palm!
[Wind Style: Rasenshuriken (First Release)]!
Although it is still in its infancy, with the help of the rage potion, the power it contains has reached a terrifying level!
“Die for me!!!”
Lin Feng roared, and using all his strength, he threw the Death Star in his palm, which was filled with extreme cutting power, at the “Night Owl” who was repelled by the momentum and still in shock!
The spiral shuriken flew out of his hand, making a teeth-grinding scream, and turned into a blue death meteor, instantly tearing through the air and heading straight for the “Night Owl”!
The souls of the “Night Owl” are all emerging, feeling an unprecedented deadly crisis!
He wants to defend!
But in the face of the forbidden technique cast by Lin Feng under the blessing of the rage potion, his reaction was a beat slow!
Puff——!!!
There was only the hair-raising sound of flesh being cut and torn apart at high speed!
The spiral shuriken hit the left half of “Night Owl’s” body accurately!
“Aaaaaaaaa——!!!”
A scream that was so shrill that it didn’t sound like a human voice suddenly resounded throughout the entire passage!
The left arm, left shoulder, and half of the chest of “Night Owl” were completely torn and shattered by countless fine and high-speed rotating wind blades the moment they came into contact with the spiral shuriken!
Black feathers, torn clothes, scarlet flesh and blood, pale bones… mixed together and splashed all over the sky!
The terrifying wind energy was still raging wildly, making his wounds bloody and deep enough to see the bones!
Heavy damage!
After one blow, “Night Owl”, the small leader of the Black Feather Organization, was on the verge of death!
Chapter 100: Forbidden Techniques to Show Off the Hokage (Old Version)
There was dead silence in the passage.
The smell of blood in the air was so thick that it almost solidified, mixed with the burning smell left over from the collision of chakras.
The miserable screams of “Night Owl” were still echoing, but he was curled up on the ground like a rag doll. The left half of his body was covered in blood and his white bones were clearly visible. His black feathers were messily stuck in the broken flesh and blood. The scene was horrifying.
That terrifying wind-style ninjutsu, like the god of death’s scythe, easily took away half the life of the little black-feathered leader!
Everyone was nailed to the spot by this bloody and shocking scene.
The ferocity and madness on the faces of the remaining few Root ninjas and Black Feather members had long since faded, leaving only the fear that penetrated deep into their bones.
They looked at Lin Feng standing in a pool of blood as if they were looking at a demon crawling out of hell.
Is this really a Genin?
This is a monster!
Even the battle-hardened “Lynx”, looking at the miserable state of “Night Owl” and then at Lin Feng, the look under the cat mask was filled with incredible shock.
The power of that move just now… definitely reached the threshold of S-level forbidden technique!
This kid…how many cards does he have hidden?
Morale collapsed in an instant.
The remaining enemies looked at each other, the fighting spirit in their eyes was gone, and the only thought left was to escape.
Lin Feng endured the tearing pain in his right arm, which was the backlash caused by forcibly activating the unfinished spiral shuriken.
The surging power brought by the rage potion is quickly fading, followed by waves of weakness and slight dizziness.
But he still stood straight, his scarlet eyes still scanning the entire place coldly, and the cold murderous aura emanating from him made those enemies who were thinking of retreating dare not act rashly.
He raised his slightly trembling, blood-stained right hand. His movements were slow, but carried an invisible sense of oppression.
“Who else?”
The sound was not loud, but it was like a heavy hammer hitting the heart of every enemy.
Just then, a burst of hurried and dense footsteps came from deep in the passage.
Dozens of figures wearing various masks appeared like ghosts, instantly occupying all advantageous positions, and their cold murderous aura locked onto the remaining enemies in the field.
The Konoha Anbu, the main force, has finally arrived!
The “Night Owl” suddenly raised its head, and its only remaining eye stared at Lin Feng, filled with resentment, unwillingness and a hint of fear.
He knew that the game was over!
“Little devil…I will remember you…”
The hoarse voice sounded like a curse.
The next moment, the body of “Night Owl” suddenly exploded, turning into a ball of thick black mist, and fled towards the gap in the passage at an astonishing speed!
He actually used some strange life-saving secret technique to escape forcefully!
Although he escaped, his miserable appearance showed that he was seriously injured and it was impossible for him to cause trouble again in a short time.
“Want to run?!”
“Stop them!”
The Anbu ninja reacted very quickly and immediately sent people to give chase while also launching a siege on the remaining enemies.
Seeing that their leader had run away, the remaining Root and Black Feather members had no will to resist. Some tried to break out, while others fought desperately.
But in front of the well-trained and numerically superior Anbu, their resistance seemed pale and powerless.
The knife flashed and screams were heard.
Soon, the fighting was completely over.
Except for the “Night Owl” who escaped, the rest of the enemies were either captured alive or killed on the spot.
“Mountain Cat” walked to Lin Feng and looked at his pale face and his right arm that was hanging unnaturally and trembling slightly, with a complicated look in his eyes.
After a moment of silence, he couldn’t help but ask, “What technique did you use just now?”
The power is truly astonishing.
Lin Feng pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing a weak but still somewhat ruffian smile.
“It’s just a little gadget. It’s quite powerful, but a little labor-intensive.”
He brushed it off lightly, obviously not intending to explain further.
“Bobcat” looked at him deeply and didn’t ask any further questions.
Everyone has their secrets, especially in the world of ninja.
This ambush on Lin Feng, together with the appearance of “Night Owl” and his escape with serious injuries, were immediately reported to all levels and finally placed on the desk of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.
When hearing that Lin Feng not only killed several Root and Black Feather members, but even severely injured the Black Feather leader “Night Owl” by himself, especially the description of the suspected S-level Wind Release Forbidden Technique, even the Third Hokage who was used to seeing many storms could not help but shrink his pupils, and was once again shocked by the growth rate and endless trump cards of this little guy.
Soon, Lin Feng was taken directly to the Hokage’s office.
Sarutobi Hiruzen put down his pipe and looked carefully at the young man in front of him who looked a little tired but still in good spirits. There was scrutiny and a hint of imperceptible approval in his cloudy old eyes.
“Lin Feng, thank you for your hard work this time.”
“Fortunately, we didn’t bring shame to Konoha.” Lin Feng replied with a grin.
“How is your injury?” the Third Hokage asked with concern, his eyes falling on his right arm which had been simply bandaged by a medical ninja.
“It’s just a minor injury, nothing serious. I used some special potion and it will be fine in a few days.” Lin Feng replied, deliberately concealing the severity of the backlash of the rage potion and the spiral shuriken.
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded. He had learned from “Yanmao” that Lin Feng seemed to be fine, so he felt relieved.
After this battle, Lin Feng’s reputation among the Anbu and Konoha’s top brass was completely raised to a new level.
He is no longer just a lucky Genin who provided key information, but a real combat talent with powerful strength and unlimited potential, a rising star!
After a brief silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen’s expression became serious.
“Lin Feng, in view of your outstanding performance in this incident and your special ability to restrain the [Black Feather Energy], I have decided to officially appoint you as a member of the special operations team, directly led by the Anbu Captain ‘Yanmao’.”
“The main task of this team is to thoroughly investigate the specific information about ‘Owl’ and the Black Feather Organization behind him, track down the truth of the [Advent of the Wind God] plan, and do their utmost to hunt down the escaped ‘Night Owl’ and other members of the Black Feather Organization.”
Lin Feng’s eyes moved slightly. Does this mean he has officially entered the core circle?
“Yes! I will ensure that the task is completed!” he responded, standing at attention.
“Yes.” Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction and continued, “In addition, considering that the Chunin Exam is about to begin and ninjas from various countries have gathered in Konoha, the situation is complicated. I have a secret mission for you.”
“Please give your orders, Hokage-sama!”
“During the upcoming Chunin Exams, you must keep a close eye on the contestants from various countries, especially the ninjas from the Sand Village.” The Third Hokage said solemnly, “According to the intelligence before Night Owl escaped, the Black Feather Organization seems to be involved with the Sand Village, and may even be related to the Kazekage. At the same time, you must take every opportunity to secretly investigate and ensure the safety of our important [Wind Spirit Crystal], and never let it fall into the hands of the enemy.”
Lin Feng understood in his heart that it seemed that the plot was about to accelerate.
“clear!”
After receiving the new task, Lin Feng also gained corresponding higher authority and resource allocation.
Several precious B-level and A-level wind-style ninjutsu scrolls, a batch of special medicines for training and recovery, and passes to enter and exit certain confidential data rooms were all handed over to Lin Feng.
This treatment is far beyond that of ordinary Genin, and is even comparable to that of some senior special Jonin.
With a new appointment and a heavy task, Lin Feng, escorted by “Lynx”, returned to the safe house that was originally used for “protection” but now is more like his exclusive base.
Close the door to block out outside prying eyes.
Lin Feng let out a long sigh, and the fatigue in his body surged over him like a tide.
He walked to the bedside and sat down, untying the bandage on his right arm. Looking at the fine scars still remaining on it and the faint pain, he couldn’t help but grit his teeth.
The side effects of the berserk potion began to appear, and waves of weakness invaded every part of his body.
The backlash of the Rasenshuriken was even more serious. If it weren’t for the powerful recovery ability of the [Sage Body] and the [Leaves of the World Tree], this arm would probably have been useless for a while.
“S-level forbidden technique, it turns out that it’s not that easy to use…” He whispered to himself, but there was no regret in his eyes, instead there was a gleam of excitement.
The scene where that blow severely damaged “Night Owl” was so cool!
Although the attack was dangerous, the gains were also huge.
Not only did he successfully establish his authority and gain recognition from higher-ups and more resources, but more importantly, he experienced firsthand the power of the prototype of the Rasenshuriken, and gained a more intuitive understanding of the strength of the Black Feather Organization and the remnants of the Root.
Chunin Exam… Special Operations Team… Tracking down the Black Feather Organization… Protecting the Wind Crystal…
The days ahead are destined not to be peaceful.
Lin Feng called up the system interface and his eyes fell on two items.
A [Swift Escape Fragment (1/3)] that emits a faint blue halo and looks like a broken lens.
And the scroll that records the complete training method of [Wind Style: Rasenshuriken].
“Swift Escape… Rasenshuriken…”
Lin Feng’s eyes gradually became sharper.
If we want to gain a foothold in the coming storm, or even dominate the situation, our current strength is far from enough!
He needs faster speed, stronger strength, and more deadly killing moves!
A new journey has begun.
And he must become stronger as quickly as possible!
Lin Feng sat cross-legged and began to circulate his chakra, using the life energy of the [Leaves of the World Tree] to recover from his injuries and exhaustion.
The accumulation and recovery after the war is about to begin. Recover from injuries and consumption.
The sedimentation and accumulation after the war is about to begin.
