Starting Out With Indra's Chakra: Part 25

"Alright, then send Hatake Sakumo to lead three thousand ninja to the border of the Land of Fire. First, drive the Sunagakure ninja out of the Land of Fire."

The current Hiruzen Sarutobi was not yet that indecisive old man. He was still a ninja hero in his prime.

News of Konoha and Sunagakure going to war spread throughout the Ninja World. The Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki and the Third Raikage both received the news, but neither made any move.

At the same time, Hanzo of the Salamander, known as the Half-God of the Shinobi World, had also joined in and attacked the Land of Iron.

"The Second Shinobi World War has finally broken out."

Liu Feng received the news immediately. As far as he knew, the Second Shinobi World War was a conflict between Konoha, Sunagakure, and Amegakure.

The other three major Ninja Villages had not joined the war.

"Uchiha No, have any members of the Uchiha family been sent to the battlefield?" Liu Feng asked Uchiha No.

Upon hearing Liu Feng's question, Uchiha No hurriedly replied, "Young Master, our Uchiha have not been deployed to the battlefield for the time being."

"I understand."

The current Third Hokage did not particularly trust the Uchiha family. He probably would not rashly send the Uchiha to the battlefield, especially when the Second Shinobi World War was only in its early stages.

Super S-rank Mission: Help Konoha achieve victory in the Second Shinobi World War. Mission reward: Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, 300,000 points! No penalty for mission failure.

Liu Feng had spent forty thousand points, and this was the mission he had refreshed. It was a Super S-rank Mission, and its rewards made Liu Feng extremely excited.

The Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan alone would save Liu Feng five hundred thousand points, and there were another three hundred thousand points as a reward.

"I just need to lie back and win this mission."

Liu Feng felt relaxed. Konoha had originally been the victor of the Second Shinobi World War. Konoha had never lost a Ninja World War.

"Super S-rank Missions are not so easy to win by lying back. There may be unforeseen changes."

Just as Liu Feng was talking about lying back and getting an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan for free, Xiao Meng's voice appeared in his mind.

Hearing Xiao Meng's words, Liu Feng's expression changed slightly. That was true. How could the system possibly let him get rewards for free so easily?

"Either way, I'm determined to get this mission reward."

No matter what changes arose, Liu Feng would not give up the reward for this Super S-rank Mission. The rewards were so generous that they practically made him drool. How could he possibly give them up?

No matter how great the changes were, they could not possibly exceed his control, could they?

Unless Uchiha Madara made a move, no matter how things changed, Konoha's victory was guaranteed.

And that old man Uchiha Madara could not possibly expose himself, so Liu Feng could not imagine how Konoha would lose.

In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed since the Ninja World War began. The fighting had grown increasingly intense.

Amegakure, a small Ninja Village, had erupted with unprecedented strength. It did not fall behind even against the major Ninja Villages, and Hanzo of the Salamander had openly declared war on both Konoha and Sunagakure.

The Land of Rain was poorly situated, sandwiched between the Land of Fire, the Land of Wind, and the Land of Earth. The Land of Rain had now become the battlefield of the Ninja World War.

For the dignity of the Land of Rain, Hanzo of the Salamander, the Half-God of the Shinobi World, declared war on Konoha and Sunagakure. As long as they were within the Land of Rain, ninja from enemy nations were all their enemies.

The current Hanzo of the Salamander truly had courage. He was not yet the old man who would later fear the younger generation and worry about being replaced by them.

Over the past half year, Liu Feng's strength had not improved much.

Liu Feng drew a projection once every month. He had drawn six times, but his luck had been poor. He had not drawn a single powerful Character Projection, only a few unknown nobodies.

Aside from a tiny amount of points, the rewards had only yielded several C-rank ninjutsu.

"Finally dealt with it. That really took effort."

Liu Feng looked at the Character Projection that had fallen before him. It looked exactly like him. That was right, it was his own projection.

Ding! Congratulations on defeating Uchiha Liu Feng's projection. You have obtained Sharingan Advancement Card ×1, Mangekyō Sharingan Dojutsu Power, and 100,000 points!

He had finally defeated his own projection. Honestly, it had been incredibly difficult to deal with, and he had practically relied on a war of attrition to wear his opponent to death.

Although Liu Feng knew more ninjutsu than his projection, such as the fact that the projection could not use the Flying Thunder God Technique, Dust Release, or techniques like Wind Style: Rasenshuriken—

The projection could use Time Rewind. Liu Feng had personally experienced just how shameless Time Rewind was. As long as the opponent's Dojutsu Power and Chakra were not completely exhausted, it was impossible to inflict a fatal injury.

The spatial ninjutsu Flying Thunder God was not very effective against Time Rewind. He could teleport over and, before even launching a sneak attack, one Time Rewind would throw him right back where he had started.

Several times, Liu Feng had pierced the projection's heart. Just as it was about to breathe its last, it would suddenly use Time Rewind to reverse time and revive at full health.

He had been thoroughly sickened by his own dojutsu. In the end, he simply used Time Rewind against the projection repeatedly, wearing the projection into blindness before finally killing it.

Sharingan Advancement Card: Can raise the Sharingan by one level, up to the Mangekyō Sharingan!

"Damn it, I got my hopes up for nothing."

Liu Feng examined the Sharingan Advancement Card he had received. He had originally thought it could evolve his Mangekyō Sharingan and let him directly obtain the Eternal Mangekyo, but it could only raise a Sharingan up to the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Wasn't this thing useless to him, then?

"Xiao Meng, can this Sharingan Advancement Card be used on someone else?"

If it could not be used on others, then this thing was trash. Still, it was the first time Liu Feng had obtained an item like this from defeating a projection, so he was quite surprised.

"It can be used on other people."

"Then that's good. It means it isn't useless."

Liu Feng put away the Sharingan Advancement Card. This item was equivalent to a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan.

After checking the shop, Liu Feng found the Sharingan Advancement Card as well. It cost two hundred thousand points, even more expensive than exchanging for a Mangekyō Sharingan. It was probably so expensive because it could be used on others.

At the same time, Liu Feng also found an advancement card that could evolve a Mangekyō Sharingan into an Eternal Mangekyo. It cost six hundred thousand points, one hundred thousand points more than directly exchanging for an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

"The Mangekyō Sharingan Dojutsu Power I received still wasn't enough to evolve my eyes into the Eternal Mangekyo?"

Liu Feng was somewhat disappointed. After integrating the Mangekyō Sharingan Dojutsu Power he had received, his Dojutsu Power had indeed increased greatly, but it had not undergone a qualitative transformation.

"If you were to obtain a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan and replace yours with them, then your eyes should be able to evolve into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, right?"

Xiao Meng said to Liu Feng.

"Forget replacing my eyes. Even if they're the eyes of my own projection, I don't want to replace them."

Liu Feng shook his head. He was somewhat resistant to changing eyes. In any case, he had a way to evolve into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan without replacing them.

"I'll leave the System Space first."

After saying that to Xiao Meng, Liu Feng exited the System Space and went to find his grandfather, Uchiha Sou.

Liu Feng planned to use that Sharingan Advancement Card on his grandfather.

"Liu Feng, you're here."

When he saw Liu Feng arrive, a smile appeared on Uchiha Sou's stern face.

"Grandfather, are you interested in the Mangekyō Sharingan?" Liu Feng asked Uchiha Sou after sitting down.

Uchiha Sou froze in astonishment.

"I have a method that can evolve a Three Tomoe Sharingan into a Mangekyō Sharingan without having to endure the painful shock of a loved one's death."

Liu Feng did not mind revealing some secrets to Uchiha Sou. As long as the system itself was not exposed, it was fine.

Uchiha Sou looked at Liu Feng and remained silent for a long time. Then he activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, and this time it was Liu Feng who froze.

"Grandfather, you've really been hiding your strength well."

He truly had not expected it. He had never imagined that Uchiha Sou had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

"If you have a method to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, then keep it for yourself." Uchiha Sou smiled. Although he was curious about Liu Feng's method of evolving a Three Tomoe Sharingan into a Mangekyō Sharingan, he did not ask.

"Actually, I've already awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan too."

Liu Feng did not hide it either. In front of Uchiha Sou, there was no need to conceal too much. His grandfather would not harm him.

Uchiha Sou's face showed excitement. When Liu Feng had mentioned being able to evolve a Three Tomoe Sharingan into a Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Sou had not been nearly this excited.

"Hahahaha! Heaven truly favors our branch!"

Uchiha Sou burst into laughter. Liu Feng was only eleven years old and already possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan. There had never been anyone like him before. As for whether anyone like him would appear in the future, no one knew. Such a monstrous genius would probably never appear again.

Even the extraordinarily talented Uchiha Itachi had only awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan at thirteen, while Obito Uchiha had awakened his at twelve after the shock of losing Rin.

Liu Feng, meanwhile, had actually awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan at ten. Of course, Liu Feng had relied on the system. Otherwise, he would have needed to be at least twelve before awakening it.

Liu Feng stayed with Uchiha Sou for a while before leaving. During that time, Uchiha Sou gave Liu Feng quite a few instructions.

For example, he told him not to easily expose his Mangekyō Sharingan and not to use it carelessly. Excessive use of the Mangekyō Sharingan would cause blindness.

The Mangekyō Sharingan was a double-edged sword. It harmed enemies, but it also harmed its user. It truly could be considered cursed eyes. Only by evolving to the Eternal Mangekyo could one be said to have broken the curse.

Of course, Liu Feng did not need to worry about that. He now possessed the Uzumaki Sage Body. He could not say he would never have problems, but using it for seven or eight years should not be an issue.

By then, Liu Feng's Mangekyō Sharingan would have long since evolved into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

"Since Grandfather didn't need it, I'll save it for Mikoto."

Liu Feng planned to save that Sharingan Advancement Card for Mikoto. However, he definitely could not use it on Mikoto now, since her Sharingan only had one tomoe.

Once Mikoto's Sharingan evolved to three tomoe, he could directly advance her Sharingan into a Mangekyō Sharingan.

"Liu Feng, the Third Hokage has assigned us a mission."

After returning home, Liu Feng found Mikoto waiting for him there, holding a mission scroll in her hand.

"A mission assigned to us by the Third Hokage?"

Liu Feng took the mission scroll, and his gaze narrowed slightly. It was an escort mission, to escort a batch of medicine to the battlefield.
