Chapter 19

At this moment, only Liu Feng and Mikoto were present. As for Uchiha No, he was hiding in the shadows, protecting Liu Feng.

"You two brats, stop right there!"

Two ill-intentioned wandering samurai caught up from behind, drew their swords, and blocked Liu Feng and Mikoto's path.

Mikoto clenched her fists, feeling somewhat nervous.

"Don't worry. They're only a little stronger than ordinary people." Liu Feng took Mikoto's hand, easing her tension.

"Judging by how you're dressed, you're not ordinary. Hand over all your money and valuables, or I'll chop you to death!" One of the samurai approached them with a battered tachi in hand.

"Mikoto, strike first," Liu Feng said to Mikoto.

As soon as he spoke, Liu Feng made his move. Using the Body Flicker Technique, he appeared before one of the samurai and snapped his neck with a single motion, decisively killing him.

These wandering samurai had only learned a few sword techniques. At most, they could bully ordinary people; even the weakest Genin could easily slaughter them.

"N-Ninja..."

Seeing his companion instantly killed, the remaining samurai wet himself in terror and frantically fled.

"Mikoto, do it. Don't let him escape. If you can't bring yourself to kill, then I advise you not to become a ninja," Liu Feng said to Mikoto.

Mikoto glanced at Liu Feng, her gaze growing increasingly resolute as she chased after the fleeing samurai.

How could a samurai without even Chakra outrun Mikoto? She quickly caught up to him. A few seconds later, the samurai fell to the ground in terror, a fatal line of blood appearing across his neck.

Mikoto's face was pale, and the kunai in her hand fell to the ground.

Although she had already made this resolve when she became a ninja, actually killing someone still left Mikoto feeling terrible.

"She awakened the Sharingan."

Liu Feng looked into Mikoto's eyes. Her eyes had turned blood-red, and a black tomoe had appeared within them—it was the One Tomoe Sharingan.

Walking over to Mikoto, Liu Feng embraced her and patted her back.

Mikoto seemed to find something to rely on as well. She buried herself in Liu Feng's arms, hugging him tightly as she calmed the turmoil in her heart.

After all, it was her first time killing someone. Even if the person she killed was not a good person, she still needed a long time to recover.

After a long while, Mikoto finally recovered. Her temperament had transformed, and beneath her gentleness now lay a trace of sharpness.

Chapter 19

After completing the mission to escort the medicine, Liu Feng and Mikoto did not hurry back to Konoha.

Taking Mikoto with him, Liu Feng dealt with quite a few bandits and wandering ninjas in the Land of Rain. He had Mikoto take action almost every time, unless they encountered an enemy she could not handle, in which case Liu Feng would step in.

After this period of training, Mikoto had completely transformed. At the very least, she could truly be considered a qualified ninja.

"Let's go. We're heading back to Konoha."

Liu Feng looked at Mikoto, who still carried traces of killing intent around her.

Because she had killed many bandits over the past few days, a faint killing intent constantly lingered around Mikoto.

Mikoto nodded lightly and followed Liu Feng back to Konoha.

They encountered no danger along the way. After returning to Konoha, Mikoto finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Do you feel a little tired?"

Liu Feng asked Mikoto.

They had not rested properly these past few days. Liu Feng had obtained the Uzumaki Sage Body, so he did not feel much, but Mikoto was surely exhausted.

There was indeed some fatigue in Mikoto's eyes. Seeing this, Liu Feng simply picked her up.

Mikoto's face reddened slightly. She buried her little head in Liu Feng's chest and did not object to him carrying her.

Liu Feng smiled faintly. It seemed Mikoto was no longer as shy as before. In the past, she definitely would not have allowed Liu Feng to carry her through the streets.

Carrying Mikoto back to the Uchiha Clan Compound, Liu Feng took her home and told her to get some proper rest.

"Next, I should consider becoming a Chunin."

[C-Rank Mission: Become a Chunin]: Pass the Chunin Exam and become a Chunin. Mission time limit: None. Mission reward: 1,000 points, Earth Release Chakra; mission failure: No penalty.

Of the three missions, Liu Feng had already completed two. Only the simplest one remained unfinished.

Although the reward was rather small, only one thousand points, Liu Feng was short on points. Besides, there was also the reward of Earth Release Chakra.

Liu Feng's Chakra natures were fire, wind, and lightning. He lacked water and earth, while Yin Release Chakra and Yang Release Chakra could not be detected.

The Uchiha family definitely possessed Yin Release Chakra. He had also obtained the Uzumaki Sage Body, so he definitely possessed Yang Release Chakra now as well.

As long as he obtained water and earth, he would possess all five Chakra nature transformations.

Liu Feng directly applied to become a Chunin. There were no Chunin Ninja Exams yet, but an assessment was still required. As long as he passed it, he could become a Chunin of Konoha.

Very soon, Liu Feng's application was delivered before Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Normally, Hiruzen Sarutobi would never concern himself with an ordinary Chunin Exam application. Otherwise, wouldn't he be worked to death as Hokage?

But Hiruzen Sarutobi could not ignore Uchiha Liu Feng's application.

"It's about time I met this little fellow from the Uchiha family."

Hiruzen Sarutobi rose to his feet, his gaze deep.

Then Hiruzen Sarutobi dispatched Anbu ninjas to invite Liu Feng to the Hokage Building.

"The Third Hokage wants to see me?"

After dismissing the Anbu ninja, Liu Feng rested his chin on his hand and fell into thought, though no one knew what he was thinking.

"Even if I don't go, he can't do anything to me. But I really can't refuse."

In the end, Liu Feng stood up. He would go meet this "strongest" Hokage.
