Feng Returns to Konoha

With the Land of Crafts, Feng returned to Funfun Street to await the arrival of the Konoha Crush Plan.

The Chunin Ninja Exams began not long after Naruto graduated.

Therefore, Feng didn't have to wait long; within a few days, he received new information from Orochimaru:

"At the end of this month, Konoha will begin the first Chunin Preliminary Exam, followed by the second Chunin Selection Tournament Chunin the first of next month. After a month's rest, Konoha will invite daimyo, wealthy merchants, and other dignitaries to Konoha to observe the third and final Chunin Selection Tournament the month after next."

Orochimaru will destroy Konoha in front of countless people during the final Chunin Selection Tournament!

Furthermore, since they had previously stated that they could help Feng arrange for a team to enter Konoha, the other party also sent four Forehead Protector from the Otogakure ninjas along with the message.

All Feng needs to do is submit four random names before the Chunin Exams registration deadline, and Orochimaru can get Feng's people into Konoha as Jonin from Otogakure leading three Genin to participate in the Chunin Joint Exams.

In response, Feng gave Orochimaru four rather wicked names: Senju (Tobirama), Sarutobi (Hibiki), Shizō, and Suien.

Qian Jian was the pseudonym he intended to use himself, while the other three were reserved for Hozuki Mangetsu, Kimimaro, and Yuki Haku, who were about to be transferred from the Uchiha Kazue's Training Camp on Southern Red State Island.

Yes, he plans to personally assemble a temporary team to infiltrate Konoha as Sound ninja.

After all, Konoha has plenty of good stuff, and he, the Uchiha Clan, and some people from the former Kirigakure are all eyeing it.

If they were to let others infiltrate Konoha, even if they managed to gain some benefits amidst the chaos, with only four people, they wouldn't be able to acquire much at most.

But it's different when Feng personally takes action. Not only does the Flying Thunder God allow him to go wherever he wants in Konoha, but don't forget, he also has a sudden troop-bursting tactic using the Summoning Tokatsu the Chameleon.

A few people might not gain much, but what about thousands?

Taking advantage of the chaos to gain some benefits? Heh, Feng's only goal is to empty Konoha.

As for why they didn't just take advantage of the chaos and attack Konoha from the outside?

Don't forget, that's exactly what Hokage did in the original Sunagakure, and what happened? They were left with only two or three big cats, and almost got removed from the list of the Five Great Shinobi Villages.

With such a ready-made example of failure right there, Feng wouldn't choose to infiltrate Konoha unless he was completely out of his mind.

A few days later, two days before the Joint Chūnin Exams, organized by Konoha, were to officially begin.

"Sir, is this the place where you used to live?"

Strolling through the streets of Konoha, Feng, Mangetsu, Kimimaro, and Haku chatted casually, partly to scout out the area beforehand.

Compared to the tragic ending of the three characters in the original anime, now, under Feng's command, they are no longer persecuted by the ' Bloody Mist Village,' Mangetsu did not die young;

Kimimaro has not been constantly trained as a weapon or tool, nor has he been endlessly used as an experimental subject and subjected to countless battles. To this day, he has not shown any symptoms of blood disease.

Raised by her mother and not Zabuza a life of wandering with Zabuza, she received excellent training and education under Feng's command. Although she still has a face more beautiful than a woman's, she has developed a strong physique and exudes masculinity, so no one would mistake her for a woman.

It can be said that the three of them grew up happily and healthily.

"That's about it. It's a little better than two years ago, but compared to our current situation..."

"Tsk tsk, Konoha, it really is a village."

Hozuki Mangetsu, whose obvious shark-mouth feature was concealed by a mask, took over the conversation with a disdainful look.

As a member of the Kirigakure who also grew up under Feng's command, he watched step by step how Feng transformed the capitals of the four countries he had visited —the Southern Red State Islands, the Rainbow Country, the Sea Country, and the Land of Water —into modern cities with towering buildings, smooth roads, thriving commerce, and convenient living.

Looking back at Konoha now, which was still under the old system, it was like city dwellers going to the countryside—they felt superior everywhere.

"Alright, stop joking. Even for our family, there's still a long way to go."

Feng gently tapped Mangetsu's head and chuckled.

Although in the eyes of anyone other than Feng, the capitals of the several countries under his command, plus Kirigakure, could be considered the most modern metropolises in the Ninja World.

But in his previous life, he had seen real international metropolises and had been a lowly employee at a design institute and urban investment company in a small county town. As for those cities that seemed high-end in the eyes of the Ninja World, Feng looked down on them all.

After all, it wasn't even as good as the small county town where he lived before he transmigrated. It was only equivalent to a small county town at the beginning of the century. It was a far cry from a modern city.

"Sir, it's certainly not as good as home here."

However, everything in this house is thanks to you, sir/madam.

Kimimaro grew up with Shiro and Mangetsu, suddenly came to Mangetsu's rescue with a blank expression, but the look in his eyes towards Feng revealed an undisguised and boundless admiration.

"Heh, you little rascal." Feng chuckled upon hearing this.

It is both a praise of the three people's relationship and a reflection on their feelings.

If it weren't for Feng, the lives of these three would have been a tragedy from childhood, a tragedy that would have continued until their deaths.

Although the three of them experienced persecution in the ' Bloody Mist Village ' for a period of time when they were young, they never suffered again after being taken in by Feng.

Emotionally, when they escaped Kirigakure, everyone had at least one mother or sibling with them. Later, they had many ninja clan partners they grew up with. The main theme of the Ninja World —bonds at their peak. (Feng: The attachments are also at their peak. Let's see who can escape.)

In terms of daily life, Feng controls the private treasury accumulated over thousands of years by the daimyo of six countries. Even a small amount of it would be enough for the hundred or so members of the ninja clan to live a life of luxury. How could he possibly skimp on their food, clothing, and other necessities?!

In terms of development, the school integrates the quality of the two Ninja Academy, Merchant Ninja Village and Kirigakure, and provides students with courses that Feng personally reviewed and revised, so that all students are new-era talents who develop in all aspects of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, ninjutsu, and labor.

The only pity is that the teaching quality of the Ninja Academy is not good in terms of intelligence and labor, resulting in most Ninja Academy graduates lacking these two skills.

For example, the three people in front of him, Haku, Mangetsu, and Kimimaro, are all intelligent. Haku is not unintelligent, he is wise, but he lacks resourcefulness and is too sentimental, so he cannot handle problems calmly.

Mangetsu Less Labor, simply put, is similar to Zhang Fei in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, respecting superiors but humiliating inferiors, looking down on the working class. Even though Feng has emphasized "laborers are the most glorious" countless times at the Ninja Academy, his nature still makes him resist doing manual labor himself.

As for Kimimaro, although he lacked both intelligence and diligence, his abilities in these two areas were not bad. However, he was trained as a weapon by his family for a period of time during his childhood, which resulted in him remaining emotionally detached, poor at communication, and more accustomed to following orders than making his own decisions, even after being taken in by Feng and living a normal life.

Therefore, most of the time, Mangetsu takes the lead among the three, but when Kimimaro gets serious and has special requirements, Kimimaro takes the lead, while Haku is purely supportive.

"Sir, what level of strength should we display during the Chunin Ninja Exams?"

Then, Mangetsu suddenly raised a question.

They've been in Konoha for a few days now, and all the three of them know is that they're here to help their Master act out a scene for the Chunin Ninja Exams. But what exactly they're supposed to do, and to what extent, remains a complete mystery to them.

"Perform according to your own abilities. If you can go easy on the Konoha Ninja during the exam, then go easy on them. Of course, I won't blame you if you really can't hold back. As for everything else, do as you please."

Feng answered almost without hesitation.

The Konoha Twelve– no, in this world Sasuke ran away with Itachi, so there are only eleven Konoha members. They were all ties on Naruto Uzumaki's path to growth. Without them, Naruto might not have been able to grow to the point of defeating Konoha when he came to Nagato to carry rice.

If Naruto cannot defeat Nagato and successfully use Talk no Jutsu, where will Feng find a way to use the Resurrection Jutsu to revive so many people?

"Heh heh heh, you country bumpkins, what you just said was really interesting, actually looking down on Konoha?!"

Although I don't like it here either, Konoha, hmph, it really is the most prosperous of the Five Great Shinobi Villages.

Suddenly, a hoarse and angry laugh came from not far behind.
