Starting Out With Indra's Chakra 26

Compared to the slaughter on the battlefield, escorting medicine was relatively safe, but it was still far from without danger.

"Are we taking it or not?" Mikoto asked Liu Feng. She knew this mission was rather dangerous as well.

"We're taking it. Of course we're taking it."

Liu Feng smiled. Even the battlefield posed little danger to him, much less an escort mission.

Besides, this was the perfect opportunity to test whether someone was targeting him. His intuition told him there was definitely a trap in this mission.

"Mikoto, you shouldn't go. I..."

"No. I'm going with you."

Mikoto cut Liu Feng off and stared at him seriously. If Liu Feng wanted to leave her behind, Mikoto would never agree.

"Well... fine."

Liu Feng had only wanted to keep her safe, which was why he had not wanted Mikoto to come with him. But he knew he could not persuade her at a time like this.

Mikoto might usually be gentle and listen to nearly everything Liu Feng said, but once she got serious about certain matters, she would never give up.

Even if he did not take her with him, Mikoto would probably secretly follow behind him anyway.

"But when the time comes, Mikoto, you have to listen to me."

"Okay." A sweet smile appeared on Mikoto's face. She agreed immediately without any issue.

"Then let's go."

Liu Feng left with Mikoto, bringing Uchiha No along as well. If they really encountered danger, Uchiha No could protect Mikoto.

"It's been a long time since I left Konoha."

After arriving outside the village, Liu Feng could not help saying so. Since returning from his last mission, he had not left the village. It had already been more than half a year since he had last left Konoha.

"From here to the battlefield, if we travel quickly, we should arrive in about two days." Mikoto took out a map, her expression extremely serious.

Liu Feng glanced at the map as well. The first thing he wanted to know was their destination.

It was in the Land of Rain, that country where it rained all year round. Speaking of which, the Land of Rain was quite pitiful. Its geographical location was terrible.

It was completely surrounded by great nations and turned into a battlefield between them. That was also why Hanzo of the Salamander had joined the Second Shinobi World War.

Aside from his ambitions, he simply did not want to be bullied any longer. He had endured enough humiliation. Hanzo of the Salamander did not want the Land of Rain to forever be treated as a battlefield.

"Be careful. We might be attacked on the road."

Liu Feng gave Mikoto a warning.

Teams escorting supplies had a high chance of being attacked. Moreover, Liu Feng felt there might be a conspiracy behind this mission.

Whether it was the Third Hokage's scheme or Danzo's scheme, this mission would not be so simple.

Mikoto nodded. She could relax her guard in the village, but once outside, she could not let her guard down in the slightest, especially during wartime.

On the first day of travel, Liu Feng did not encounter any danger. He did not even come across a single petty bandit.

"Let's rest up ahead."

Liu Feng spoke to Mikoto. He was not tired himself, but he had to consider Mikoto too.

Mikoto did not refuse. She was indeed a little tired. After taking a sip from her waterskin, she handed it to Liu Feng.

As for sharing a waterskin, Mikoto did not mind because it was Liu Feng.

"So sweet."

After taking a drink, Liu Feng spoke with a smile.

Mikoto's face flushed slightly. She felt Liu Feng's words carried another meaning. After rolling her eyes at him, Mikoto sat down and took out some rations.

When carrying out missions outside, they could forget about eating well. All they had was dry, hard rations, and honestly, they tasted awful.

Liu Feng took out a piece of dried beef and had barely taken a bite when he frowned. They would not even let him eat in peace.

"It seems we've been surrounded."

He stuffed the dried beef into his mouth, pulled Mikoto to her feet, and took out a kunai.

Although Mikoto had not noticed the enemies, she did not dare lower her guard after hearing Liu Feng's words. She knew Liu Feng would never make baseless claims.

After obtaining the Uzumaki Sage Body, Liu Feng's sensory abilities had become extremely powerful. Though they could not compare to the Uzumaki clan's Mind's Eye of the Kagura, they surpassed those of ordinary sensory ninja by a great deal.

Moreover, through the Nine-Tails Chakra within his body, Liu Feng could sense killing intent.

"Those two brats actually noticed us. Kill them and take their supplies."

A squad captain wearing an Amegakure forehead protector stepped out, his face filled with cruelty. At the same time, nine other ninja appeared and surrounded Liu Feng and Mikoto.

"One Jonin and nine Chunin."

His gaze swept across the ten-man squad. If they had truly been facing two ordinary Chunin, this would have been an absolute kill.

But against Liu Feng, these people were simply not worth mentioning. They had not even sent an Elite Jonin. Were they looking down on him that much?

Mikoto looked at the ten ninja surrounding them. Although alarmed, she remained calm. As long as Liu Feng was by her side, she felt she had someone to rely on and was not afraid.

The ninja surrounding Liu Feng and Mikoto exchanged glances. Without wasting words, they charged straight at them.

"Courting death."

His kunai instantly slit one Chunin's throat. Then, with one hand, he formed a Rasengan and slammed it into another ninja's abdomen.

The Rasengan could bore through a tree thick enough for one person to wrap their arms around. When it struck a human body, it instantly blasted a huge hole through it.

"Fire Style: Majestic Fire Annihilation!"

His hands formed seals at high speed before he spewed out a sea of flames. Five unlucky ninja died within it, burned into charred corpses.

Of the ten ninja who had attacked, seven died in an instant. The remaining three were intimidated by Liu Feng.

"You think you're strong enough to come after me? Tell me, how was information about us leaked?"

Liu Feng looked toward the Jonin among the remaining three ninja. He was also the captain of this ten-man squad, and his hands were trembling slightly.

He had been assigned to deal with two brats who had graduated less than a year ago. He had not taken the mission seriously at all. Who would have thought one of the brats would be so terrifying?

"Forget it. You probably don't know anyway. I'll just kill you."

A ruthless killing intent appeared in Liu Feng's eyes. He was never softhearted toward enemies.

"Mikoto, deal with that Chunin. Leave the other two to me."

He could not let Mikoto merely watch. Although Liu Feng could solve everything himself, that would not help Mikoto grow at all.

"Okay."

Mikoto acted decisively as well. Using the Fire Style she was most proficient in, she charged at one of the Chunin, leaving the remaining Jonin and Chunin to Liu Feng.

"Lightning Style: Chidori!"

Liu Feng targeted the Chunin. He would deal with the troublesome one first, then handle the Jonin.

With Liu Feng's speed, a mere Chunin could not evade his attack. Liu Feng's hand pierced through his heart, and he died in unwillingness and terror.

"Damn it, he's just a brat."

The Amegakure Jonin gritted his teeth. He had actually felt fear just now. He had been afraid of the brat standing before him. To him, that was the greatest humiliation.

"Fire Style: Fireball Technique!"

"Water Style: Water Wall Jutsu!"

The fireball collided with the barrier formed by Water Style, and a large amount of steam spread through the air.

"Do you have any other jutsu? Hurry up and use them."

Liu Feng had activated his Mangekyō Sharingan. If the other side used a jutsu Liu Feng did not know, he could copy it.

The Mangekyō Sharingan could easily copy ordinary jutsu, but S-rank jutsu were not so easy to copy. As for special secret techniques and Kekkei Genkai jutsu, they could not be copied at all.

If the Sharingan could copy every jutsu, it would be far too powerful.

The Amegakure Jonin's expression was ugly. He had used the B-rank Water Wall Jutsu, yet it had nearly failed to block Liu Feng's Fireball Technique.

"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu!"

This was the strongest jutsu he knew. A massive water dragon charged toward Liu Feng.

"Water Style: Hard Vortex Water Blade!"

Liu Feng grabbed the water-dragon vortex spear in his hand and hurled it at the Amegakure Jonin. The water dragon charging at Liu Feng was shattered first, before the spear finally struck the Jonin.

After being hit by an S-rank Water Style jutsu, there was only one outcome: death. The power carried by the Hard Vortex Water Blade did not even leave behind a corpse, boring a massive hole into the ground.

Liu Feng looked toward Mikoto. Her battle was nearly over as well. Though Mikoto lacked combat experience, she would not lose against an opponent of equal strength.

She used Sharingan genjutsu to control her opponent for a second, then stabbed her kunai through the Chunin's heart.

"Let's go. We'll leave this place first."

Liu Feng had no interest in staying there any longer, so he left with Mikoto.

At the same time, Liu Feng pondered whether the enemy had truly found them through their own abilities, or whether someone had deliberately informed on them in an attempt to kill with a borrowed blade.

"Forget it. I'll put this on Danzo's tab first. Whether it has anything to do with him or not, this debt goes on his head."

Whether Danzo had been wronged did not matter. He was not a good person anyway, so what was wrong with making him take the blame? Besides, Danzo was the King of Blame to begin with.

In truth, Liu Feng had not placed the blame wrongly. This matter really was connected to Danzo. Danzo had deliberately sent someone to leak information to Hanzo of the Salamander.

It was simply that Hanzo of the Salamander had not considered Liu Feng important enough. Well, Liu Feng himself felt that he had not been taken seriously enough, but Hanzo of the Salamander had actually attached great importance to him.

Sending one Jonin and nine Chunin to deal with two Chunin who had graduated less than a year ago—was that not taking them seriously enough?

Unfortunately, how could Hanzo of the Salamander have known that Liu Feng was only a Chunin on the surface? With overwhelming force, he had wiped out every subordinate Hanzo of the Salamander had sent.
