Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke to Liu Feng gently.

"However, there's a mission that needs you to carry it out next. Only you can complete it."

As he spoke, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression turned solemn, as though he were entrusting Liu Feng with an important responsibility.

Liu Feng was suspicious. Had Hiruzen Sarutobi promoted him to Jonin just so he could deliberately send him out to die? He had always judged others with the greatest malice, so it was not impossible. No matter how talented he was, he was still a member of the Uchiha family.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was not as hardline toward the Uchiha family as Senju Tobirama had been, but he was not much better. In truth, Hiruzen Sarutobi had little goodwill toward the Uchiha.

"I wonder what mission the Hokage wishes to assign me?"

"Investigate the true strength of the allied forces from the three Ninja Villages in the Land of Rain. You possess the Flying Thunder God Technique, so you can retreat if you encounter danger. No one is more suited to this mission than you. I hope that, for Konoha's sake, you will agree, Liu Feng."

This mission was indeed dangerous. Even with the Flying Thunder God Technique, complete safety could not be guaranteed. One careless mistake could get him killed, after all. He would be infiltrating the enemy's main camp.

"For Konoha, I cannot refuse."

Liu Feng agreed immediately. To him, this mission did not count as particularly dangerous. The Flying Thunder God Technique was not his only trump card.

"Is he giving me such a dangerous mission because I'm truly the only one who can complete it, or does he want to use this chance to get rid of me?"

After leaving the Command Center where Hiruzen Sarutobi was stationed, Liu Feng frowned as he pondered.

Perhaps it was both. In any case, he did not think Hiruzen Sarutobi was a good man, and Liu Feng could tell that Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat wary of him.

"Young Master, take me with you when you leave Konoha Camp this time."

Uchiha No followed Liu Feng. Liu Feng had not allowed Uchiha No to accompany him yesterday, and when Uchiha No learned that Liu Feng had encountered an Elite Jonin, he had broken out in a cold sweat.

"Are you following me just to die?"

Liu Feng told Uchiha No about his mission, and Uchiha No immediately became anxious. How could he accept a mission like that?

"Young Master, you absolutely cannot accept this mission. The Third Hokage definitely wants to get you killed."

Anger burned in Uchiha No's eyes. He wished he could rush before the Third Hokage right now and burn him to death with a Fireball Technique.

"Don't worry. I can guarantee my own safety. Also, you'd better not say that in front of others."

Liu Feng waved at Uchiha No, then revealed his Mangekyō Sharingan.

"I possess the Mangekyō Sharingan and the Flying Thunder God Technique. Even if I break into another Ninja Village, I can come and go as I please."

Uchiha No said nothing. In truth, the moment he saw Liu Feng's Mangekyō Sharingan, he was stunned. To the Uchiha family, the Mangekyō Sharingan had already become a legend.

In the eyes of most clan members, the last person to possess the Mangekyō Sharingan had been Uchiha Madara.

Well, only a small number of clan members knew that Uchiha Madara's eyes had evolved into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. In fact, many people did not even understand the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Young Master has awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan. Our Uchiha are going to rise again.

That was the only thought in Uchiha No's mind. With the terror of the Mangekyō Sharingan, becoming Hokage in the future would not be difficult, would it?

"Young Master, now that you've awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, you must be even more careful." Uchiha No tried to persuade Liu Feng again. He was even less willing to let Liu Feng take risks now.

"I've already accepted the mission. Wait for me to return at the camp. That is an order."

In the end, Uchiha No could only watch Liu Feng leave with a bitter expression, praying in his heart that Liu Feng would not encounter any danger. Otherwise, even dying ten thousand times would not absolve him of blame.

Within the Land of Rain, Liu Feng was making his way toward Sunagakure's camp.

Although Sunagakure, Amegakure, and Iwagakure had now formed an alliance, their camps were not located together.

In truth, they did not fully trust one another either. They had come together because of profit. Where would trust come from?

"Let me see just how formidable this strongest Third Kazekage is."

Wearing an Anbu mask, Liu Feng used his methods to infiltrate Sunagakure's camp.

For Liu Feng, infiltrating Sunagakure's camp was not difficult. Even if he were discovered, he could use Sharingan genjutsu to control whoever found him.

The mission Hiruzen Sarutobi had assigned Liu Feng was to investigate the true strength of the three Ninja Villages—to learn the specifics of their forces.

However, Liu Feng had plans of his own. To be honest, the main reason he had agreed to take Hiruzen Sarutobi's mission was for his own system mission.

"I got to Sunagakure's supply depot this easily. Could this be a trap?"

Liu Feng arrived at the location where Sunagakure stored its supplies. He planned to destroy them, which would at least help Konoha recover some of its disadvantage.

"Since you don't value them that much, I'll teach you a lesson."

Forming hand seals, he unleashed the terrifying Fire Style: Majestic Fire Annihilation. A raging sea of flames ignited the supplies.

"Not good! Our supplies are under attack! Hurry and put out the fire with me!"

The four Elite Jonin guarding the supplies hurriedly shouted.

It was not that Sunagakure did not value its supplies. How could war supplies possibly be unimportant? They had dispatched four Elite Jonin specifically to guard them.

But how could that stop Liu Feng, a peak Kage-level fighter? Moreover, he was a peak Kage-level powerhouse with the Mangekyō Sharingan.

"The Third Kazekage came quickly."

Liu Feng hid in the shadows. When he saw the Third Kazekage rushing over, he immediately threw out a Kunai.

The Kunai bore a Flying Thunder God Technique Formula. Naturally, such a sneak attack could not hit the Third Kazekage, who easily dodged it.

Boom!!!

Liu Feng used the Flying Thunder God Technique to appear behind the Third Kazekage, then ruthlessly slammed down a Rasengan.

White smoke erupted. The instant he struck, Liu Feng knew he had missed. The Third Kazekage had evaded it with the Substitution Technique.

"As expected of the Third Kazekage. That reaction speed is admirable."

Liu Feng had originally thought that even if he could not kill him, he could at least severely wound the Third Kazekage. Instead, he realized that he had underestimated him.

"So you were the one who attacked our supplies."

The Third Kazekage stared coldly at Liu Feng, his eyes filled with extreme killing intent.

With the supplies destroyed, their original plan against the Konoha Ninja had to be abandoned. More importantly, it was humiliating. Their supplies had been destroyed inside their own camp. Would that not make Sunagakure seem incompetent?

Not to mention that old bastard Ōnoki would definitely take this chance to mock them.

"Isn't that obvious? If I didn't attack your supplies, did you burn them yourself?"

Liu Feng was already surrounded, but he was not afraid in the slightest. With the Flying Thunder God Technique, there was no need to worry about his safety.

Outside the Sunagakure camp, Liu Feng had long since left behind a Flying Thunder God Technique Formula. He could leave Sunagakure's camp at any time.

"Third Kazekage, be careful. What he used earlier was likely the Second Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique."

Chiyo rushed over at that moment and warned the Third Kazekage. She was an experienced member of the older generation and knew something about the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Magnet Release: Iron Sand Shower!

Countless fine Senbon needles formed from Iron Sand pierced toward Liu Feng.

The Third Kazekage's Magnet Release: Iron Sand was also an exceptionally powerful Kekkei Genkai.

However, such an attack clearly could not touch Liu Feng, who had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Abandoning his attack on the Third Kazekage, Liu Feng instead turned his attention to the Sunagakure ninja.

He had already left countless Flying Thunder God Technique Formulas throughout Sunagakure's camp. Now, like a Shinigami, he rapidly reaped the lives of the ninja.

Genin, Chunin, and Jonin were treated equally. They were practically all killed in an instant. His elusive speed left the Sunagakure ninja unable to defend themselves.

Only Elite Jonin could barely evade Liu Feng's Flying Thunder God Technique assassinations.

"Damn it! Everyone, get out of here!"

The Third Kazekage roared. In truth, the Sunagakure ninja were only a burden to him and instead restricted his movements.

This was Sunagakure's camp, and his own people were everywhere. The Third Kazekage could not use large-scale ninjutsu, lest he injure his own men.

"Advisor Chiyo, Advisor Ebizo, help evacuate those—"

Bang!!!

Before he could finish, the Third Kazekage was sent flying. He spat out a mouthful of blood in midair before crashing heavily onto the ground.

Liu Feng stood where the Third Kazekage had just been, still holding the pose of his punch.

Staring at the Third Kazekage as he climbed back up, Liu Feng smiled faintly. "As expected of the Third Kazekage. You can still get up after taking a Monster Strength Fist head-on."

Liu Feng had used the Strength Enhancement Technique on that punch. He could have punched through even a stone wall.

In truth, the Third Kazekage had not endured it solely with his body. If he had truly taken it with his body alone, he would not merely be lightly injured. His abdomen might have been punched straight through.

At the critical moment, the Third Kazekage had controlled the Iron Sand to form a small shield in front of himself, blocking most of the force.

"Die!"

The puppet released by Chiyo slashed down at Liu Feng, but before it could land, Liu Feng used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave.

"Damn it."

Chiyo cursed, yet there was nothing she could do to Liu Feng.

With the Flying Thunder God Technique alone, he could make them completely helpless against him.

The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, had relied on the Flying Thunder God Technique to earn his tremendous fame during the Third Shinobi World War.

Magnet Release: Iron Sand Needle!

Seeing that Liu Feng was not paying attention to him, the Third Kazekage immediately launched a sneak attack with ninjutsu.

Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder!

It could transfer an attack to another location. Minato Namikaze had once transferred away a Tailed Beast Bomb, while Liu Feng was now transferring the Third Kazekage's attack.

The Iron Sand spear unleashed by the Third Kazekage was transferred by Liu Feng into the crowd of Sunagakure ninja. In an instant, more than a dozen Sunagakure ninja were unfortunately pierced through and died beneath the Third Kazekage's ninjutsu.

Using the Third Kazekage's own ninjutsu to kill Sunagakure's ninja was truly a vicious psychological blow. One look at the Third Kazekage's bloodshot eyes showed just how furious he was.
