Starting Out With Indra's Chakra Chapter 29

"Those two bastards... when I get back, I'll beat the hell out of both of you."

Liu Feng leaned against a tree, cursing Hiashi Hyuga and Hizashi Hyuga, the two brothers.

Earlier, seeing the brothers ready to stay behind and die together, even Liu Feng had been somewhat moved by their brotherly bond.

So Liu Feng had simply said he would cover their retreat and told them to leave. Yet those two bastards had not even bothered to refuse before immediately running off.

"Forget it. It's better that those two bastards ran. Now I can fight without any reservations."

Sensing the enemies drawing near, a flicker of excitement flashed through Liu Feng's eyes.

"Uchiha Liu Feng, we're back."

"You two bastards ran off, so why did you come back?"

Turning his head, Liu Feng looked at the Hyuga brothers with displeasure. Those two idiots had run away so quickly earlier. What were they coming back for now? Had they brought reinforcements?

"Hmph, I can't bring myself to abandon a comrade and run away."

Hiashi Hyuga snorted coldly.

The two of them had fled halfway before ultimately failing to get past the guilt in their hearts. They gave up on escaping and came back to help Uchiha Liu Feng instead.

"You aren't afraid of dying?"

Liu Feng looked at the brothers in surprise. He had to admit that, at this moment, he truly thought more highly of them.

"We cannot bring shame upon the Hyuga clan."

The Hyuga clan could not afford the disgrace of abandoning a teammate and fleeing. Hiashi Hyuga would rather die on the battlefield than lose the Hyuga clan's honor.

"Since you came back, then stay out of my way. Don't drag me down."

"Drag you down? What do you mean, Uchiha Liu Feng? Are you looking down on us?"

Hizashi Hyuga was furious. They had come back to help him, yet not only did he fail to thank them, his attitude toward them was terrible.

Liu Feng ignored him completely because the enemy had already arrived. They wore Sunagakure forehead protectors; this elite squad consisted of Sunagakure ninja.

"Three little brats? One from the Uchiha family and two from the Hyuga clan. Looks like we've hit the jackpot."

The Elite Jonin leading them had his eyes light up upon seeing Liu Feng and the Hyuga brothers.

The reason he recognized them was simple. The Hyuga clan was too obvious—only they possessed the Byakugan. As for Liu Feng, the Clan Emblem of the Uchiha family was on his clothes.

"Byakugan, activate!" ×2

The Hyuga brothers activated their Byakugan and assumed the opening stance of the Gentle Fist. Even when facing enemies they could not defeat, they did not retreat.

As for Liu Feng, he threw specially made Flying Thunder God Kunai into the air like a shower of blossoms.

"Hahaha! Is this all the Uchiha family's kunai throwing amounts to?"

Looking at the scattered kunai, one of the Sunagakure Jonin sneered disdainfully.

"You talk too much."

A cold glint flashed through Liu Feng's eyes as he made that Sunagakure ninja his first target. He had originally planned to let him live a little longer, but who knew the man would be so eager to die?

The next moment, Liu Feng vanished completely. Just as they began searching for him, Liu Feng had already slammed a Rasengan into that Jonin's skull.

"Whew, good thing none of it got on me."

Liu Feng looked at the ninja he had struck. His head had been blown apart. He definitely would not use Rasengan on someone's head again—it was a little disgusting.

"B-Big Brother, Uchiha Liu Feng... he killed a Jonin?"

Hizashi Hyuga even stuttered as he spoke. Liu Feng had utterly stunned him. He had instantly killed a Jonin—since when were Jonin so easy to kill?

No matter which village they were in, Jonin were high-level combat power. In some small Ninja Villages, Jonin were the strongest combat force.

Hiashi Hyuga took a deep breath before saying, "Perhaps our lives are no longer in danger."

Hiashi Hyuga had recognized the ninjutsu Liu Feng used: the Flying Thunder God Technique, the famous technique of the legendary Second Hokage.

"Don't lose focus. Losing focus will get you killed."

Using Chidori, Liu Feng pierced another Jonin's heart from behind. The two Jonin had not even managed to resist before Liu Feng killed them with ease.

The first had died due to carelessness, while the second had been shocked by Liu Feng instantly killing a Jonin. That was why he, too, had been killed by Liu Feng.

Clang—!

"Worthy of an Elite Jonin. Your combat experience is indeed impressive. You actually blocked that."

Liu Feng used the Flying Thunder God Technique, intending to finish off the final Elite Jonin. However, just as he was about to kill him, his attack was blocked. Even so, the kunai still left a wound on the man's body.

"What kind of Body Flicker Technique was that?"

Not everyone could recognize the Flying Thunder God Technique. In fact, not many people still knew of it.

Strictly speaking, Flying Thunder God did belong to the category of Body Flicker Techniques—a spatial Body Flicker Technique.

"You really want to know?"

Liu Feng quietly activated his Three Tomoe Sharingan and met the gaze of this Elite Jonin from Sunagakure.

The moment he saw the Three Tomoe Sharingan, he realized something was wrong. Then there was no then—he fell under Liu Feng's Sharingan genjutsu and was controlled by Liu Feng.

"I don't like torturing enemies either. I'll give you a quick death."

Liu Feng cleanly slit his throat with a kunai. One Elite Jonin and two Jonin had not even managed to use a single ninjutsu from beginning to end.

From the time they arrived until Liu Feng dealt with them, not even half a minute had passed. The Hyuga brothers watched in dumbfounded shock.

"Could you have seen it wrong?"

After coming back to his senses, Hiashi Hyuga asked Hizashi Hyuga suspiciously.

Hizashi Hyuga understood what he meant. Hiashi was wondering whether he had mistaken the enemies' strength. They were not Jonin and an Elite Jonin—but Hizashi Hyuga dared to guarantee that he had not been mistaken.

How could he possibly misjudge the enormous Chakra of an Elite Jonin? Besides, their clothing was clearly what only Elite Jonin from Sunagakure wore.

"There's no way I was wrong. Didn't you activate your Byakugan earlier too, Big Brother?"

Hiashi Hyuga fell silent. Yes, he had activated his Byakugan as well. They truly had been one Elite Jonin and two Jonin.

Yet they had been killed so cleanly by Liu Feng. From start to finish, Uchiha Liu Feng had not seemed to exert himself at all. It had been as simple as killing a chicken.

Liu Feng ignored the Hyuga brothers, who were questioning reality. He searched the three ninja for their belongings, looting their spoils of war.

Opening their ninja tool pouches, he found military ration pills and Ninjutsu Scrolls in addition to several kunai, shuriken, and Explosive Tags.

"Not bad. I got the spoils I wanted most."

Liu Feng glanced over the Ninjutsu Scrolls and put them away. After collecting the spoils, he used the Fireball Technique to cremate them.

On the way back to Konoha Camp, Hiashi Hyuga and Hizashi Hyuga did not speak. However, their gazes toward Liu Feng now held a trace of awe.

They had no choice but to accept that Uchiha Liu Feng had killed two Jonin and one Elite Jonin through his own strength.

At this point, they were grateful that they had not provoked Uchiha Liu Feng back at the Ninja Academy. So he had been hiding his strength even then.

Liu Feng had no time to care about what those two were thinking. After returning to camp, he left the mission report to the Hyuga brothers and went to rest.

Actually, he was simply too lazy to make the report himself, so he handed the troublesome task to the two brothers. The Hyuga brothers did not dare object.

The next day, Liu Feng had originally thought a mission would be assigned to him. Instead, he received word that Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to see him.

"He probably learned that I killed an Elite Jonin and two Jonin."

Liu Feng did not care. Revealing some of his strength at the right time was nothing. As long as he did not reveal everything, it was fine.

It was necessary to hide some of his strength, but he could not possibly conceal all of it without revealing anything at all.

"Liu Feng, you're here."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was currently bandaging his wounds. The injuries from his previous ambush had yet to heal.

"Third Hokage, what orders do you have for me?"

"I heard from Hiashi that you have already learned the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at Liu Feng. If he had known that Uchiha Liu Feng could learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, he definitely would not have traded it to him.

Unfortunately, it was already too late. There was no point in saying any of this now.

"That's right. Perhaps I'm quite talented with spatial techniques, so I learned the Flying Thunder God Technique. I must also thank you, Hokage."

Liu Feng wore a smile, but Hiruzen Sarutobi could not feel happy at all.

"Good. Since you have learned the Second Hokage's ninjutsu, I hope you will serve Konoha well."

Hiruzen Sarutobi forced a smile and encouraged Liu Feng.

"Next, I plan to make an exception and promote you to Jonin."

That was right. Hiruzen Sarutobi had summoned Liu Feng this time because he wanted to promote him. As for the purpose behind promoting Liu Feng, only Hiruzen Sarutobi himself knew.

"Thank you, Hokage."

Of course Liu Feng would not refuse the promotion. As a Jonin, he would at least have far more influence than a Chunin.

He had only just turned twelve, yet he had become a Jonin. He was no less impressive than the future genius Kakashi.

From now on, Liu Feng would be the youngest Jonin. All of that was prestige. Liu Feng was human too, and naturally wanted greater renown.

"No need to thank me. You deserve it. After all, you killed one Elite Jonin and two Jonin. Even if anyone has objections, I will suppress them for you."
