Arc 1Mu Feng's Early Ascent
Mu Feng awakened the Sharingan and used the system to rapidly develop his abilities, eventually killing Hozuki Mangetsu and drawing the Hokage’s attention. He was selected to take the Chunin Ninja Exams alone, with the exams a week away and his friends wishing him well.
- Mu Feng’s darkening system transformed his academy techniques, awakened his Sharingan, and helped him defeat Obito in a challenge.
- Mu Feng trained with Might Duy and Guy, mastered the first three gates, and later protected Kurenai Yuhi from Asuma and his lackeys.
- Mu Feng fought a Chunin who intervened in the dispute, copied his techniques, and drew attention from Hiruzen Sarutobi and Fugaku.
- Mu Feng graduated early, studied ninjutsu scrolls, learned Wood Release, and rescued Kakashi from Hozuki Mangetsu.
- Mu Feng pursued and killed Hozuki Mangetsu with Wood Release and Chidori, then hid evidence of his Wood Release as Konoha Anbu arrived.
- Hiruzen Sarutobi ordered Mu Feng to take the Chunin Ninja Exams alone, which were due to begin in seven days.
- Kakashi thanked Mu Feng and admitted he was stronger, while Kurenai Yuhi gave Mu Feng a handmade Peace Charm before he began preparing for the exams.
