"Let's take this outside!"
Inside the classroom, Obito pointed at the door as he spoke to Mu Feng.
"No need. There's plenty of room here! I'll give you a few free shots. Come on!" Mu Feng wagged his middle finger.
With the Three Body Technique perfected, plus the Body Flicker Technique and Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, Mu Feng saw no reason he couldn't beat Obito as he was now.
As soon as Mu Feng finished speaking, Obito clenched his teeth and tightened his fists.
The next moment, Obito launched his attack.
A straight punch shot toward Mu Feng's face, whipping through the air.
Mu Feng watched Obito's fist without letting his guard down. Although Obito was nowhere near as strong as he would become later, he was still dangerous.
The physical strength of children in the Naruto world was not to be underestimated. A full-power blow could easily knock down an untrained adult.
Mu Feng had only just taken over the original owner's body and had no idea how much punishment it could withstand.
He instinctively dodged Obito's attack.
But Obito had already anticipated that dodge.
"Haha, you fell for it!"
Delight flashed across Obito's face as he laughed. At the same time, he raised his left leg and swept it toward Mu Feng's chest.
The sweeping kick came at a tricky angle, and the surrounding desks and chairs blocked his way. Dodging it with Taijutsu alone wasn't realistic.
The nearby students seemed to realize this too, and quite a few began worrying about Mu Feng.
But just then, a flash of red suddenly flickered in Mu Feng's eyes.
The next moment!
Thump!
The sweeping kick landed squarely with a dull thud, filling Obito with delight.
"See? I told you Mu Feng was just..."
The boys who had mocked Mu Feng earlier smirked smugly, but before they could finish-
"Ah! Ow, ow, ow, ow..."
Obito, who had seemed certain of victory, suddenly cried out in pain.
Everyone froze for a moment.
Just then-
Clunk, clunk, clunk...
A sound came from one side of the classroom. Everyone immediately turned to look and saw a solid log that had somehow appeared in the room. From the look of it, someone had clearly just struck it.
"Substitution Technique!"
A sharp-eyed student immediately recognized that Mu Feng had used the Substitution Technique to evade Obito's attack.
Their gazes swept around the classroom, and finally, everyone spotted him at the door.
At the classroom door, Mu Feng smiled faintly. Obito's attack had indeed been well calculated, fast and at close range.
Under those circumstances, using the Substitution Technique without preparing beforehand would have carried some risk.
But besides his perfected Substitution Technique, Mu Feng had also awakened the Sharingan.
Although the one-tomoe Sharingan only possessed its basic functions, it was clearly enough to deal with the current Obito.
First, he read Obito's attack and found an opening, then used the Substitution Technique.
Everything had happened in an instant, and the execution had been flawless.
Obito now looked toward Mu Feng too, his gaze fierce and resentful.
"That didn't count! You cheated! If you've got the guts, fight me fair and..."
Before Obito could finish, Mu Feng cut him off!
"Fair and square? Does this count, then?"
Before his words had even faded, Mu Feng's figure blurred before everyone's eyes.
Thump!
The next moment, Mu Feng appeared right in front of Obito and drove a fist into his stomach, doubling him over like a shrimp.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
The powerful punch left Obito coughing.
By now, the entire classroom had fallen much quieter.
Asuma, Kurenai Yuhi, Guy, Rin Nohara... all his classmates stared at Mu Feng, their eyes filled with astonishment.
The boys who had mocked Mu Feng earlier were scared witless on the spot!
"All right, you lost! Remember to call me big brother from now on!"
Looking at Obito on his hands and knees, Mu Feng clapped his hands and spoke casually, marveling inwardly, The Body Flicker Technique is so damn handy!
Having finished showing off... no, speaking, Mu Feng turned and left the classroom.
Only after Mu Feng reached the hallway did the classroom erupt.
"Did you see what happened just now?"
"How did Mu Feng do that? The door's still a fair distance from here!"
"I get it! The Body Flicker Technique! It had to be the Body Flicker Technique!"
"So Mu Feng's actually that strong! How come we never noticed before? I wonder how he compares to Kakashi?"
The boys' and girls' chatter blended together.
Listening to everyone's discussion as he lay on the floor, Obito was filled with resentment and frustration, his fists clenched tightly.
"How could this happen? I... I..."
Just as Obito was burning with shame and anger, a tissue appeared in his field of vision.
"Here, Obito. Are you okay?"
At the sound of her voice, Obito froze, then slowly raised his head. Rin Nohara's sweet smile came into view.
"Rin!"
At the sight of Rin Nohara, Obito immediately sprang up, tears streaming down his face as he cried out, deeply moved.
[Ding!] [Abnormal emotional fluctuations detected in the host!] [Your 'bloodline' felt ashamed of your desire to coast through life relying on your underlings and has darkened again!] [Ding! Congratulations, your Sharingan has evolved again! Current state: three tomoe.]
After leaving the Ninja Academy, Mu Feng had been looking forward to the wonderful days ahead.
But just then, the system notification interrupted his thoughts.
After hearing the notification, Mu Feng froze for a moment.
He really had considered recruiting a bunch of underlings before everyone grew stronger, so he could rely on them and coast through life later!
But he had never expected his own 'bloodline' to look down on that idea.
I just wanted to slack off a little?
That's not allowed?
Does it demand that much of me after darkening?
Pretty impressive!
Grumbling aside, after listening to the system notification, Mu Feng immediately grew delighted again.
His bloodline had awakened, and his Sharingan had leveled up along with it!
This...
Straight to three tomoe! Next up is the Mangekyo!
Mu Feng was stunned!
He had been in this world for less than a day!
The Uchiha Clan's Sharingan wasn't that easy to awaken. Reaching three tomoe within a day absolutely made him a genius of the Uchiha Clan.
Sasuke, Obito, even Itachi and Shisui would all have to take a back seat.
Moreover, awakening the Three-Tomoe Sharingan meant Mu Feng now possessed the ability to copy ninjutsu!
"Holy shit! Now this is awesome!" Mu Feng immediately grew excited.
The next moment, Mu Feng opened his status panel.
--
[Mu Feng Uchiha] [Strength: Genin] [Physique: none.] [Kekkei Genkai: Sharingan-three tomoe (continuously darkening...)] [Ninja tools: none] [Chakra: pitifully little (less than one percent of a Kakashi)] [Taijutsu: basic Taijutsu-beginner level.] [Genjutsu: none] [Ninjutsu: Clone Technique-perfected (resting...); Transformation Technique-perfected (resting...); Substitution Technique-perfected (resting...); Multiple Shadow Clone Technique-beginner level (training through darkening...); Body Flicker Technique-beginner level (training through darkening...)]
--
At the sight of the status panel, Mu Feng could no longer stay calm.
Three-Tomoe Sharingan!
The next moment, Mu Feng tried activating his eyes.
Taking a deep breath, Mu Feng slowly closed his eyes and gave a quiet inward shout.
Activate!
The next moment, Mu Feng's eyes changed from black to red. Three tomoe spun rapidly within them before settling into a triangular formation, looking incredibly cool.
At the same time, Mu Feng's vision changed. Everything became much clearer, as though he could see through any food at will.
"So this is the Sharingan? I love it!"
"The Uchiha bloodline really is amazing!" Mu Feng was filled with excitement.
Then he turned his attention to the other entries.
"What... what's with the stuff in parentheses after physique and ninjutsu?"
"Continuously darkening... training through darkening?"
Well, damn. No madness, no greatness?
So it means going all in on this path.
Just what I'd expect from a 'darkening' system. I love it!
But this chakra... 'less than one percent of a Kakashi'?
Are you trying to be funny?
System, you're something else. You actually turned Lord Kakashi into a unit of chakra measurement. I'm impressed!
That concluded his grumbling.
But just then-
[Ding!] [Your 'chakra' felt insulted and began swearing, declaring that it couldn't take this anymore. It has darkened!!]
A notification suddenly rang out in his head, leaving Mu Feng utterly bewildered.
When he looked at the panel again, the 'chakra' entry had already changed.
[Chakra: pitifully little (one-eightieth of a Kakashi)/darkening into 'chakraton'...]
At the sight of the change, Mu Feng immediately sucked in a breath.
"Well, damn! One remark was enough to make it darken?"
"Awesome, you're seriously awesome! You've got a future as a darkened villain!"
With a word of praise and a knowing smile, Mu Feng tucked his hands into his pockets and swaggered away with an "I don't love anyone" attitude.
