Chapter 38

"Alright. Send Hatake Sakumo to lead three thousand ninja to the border of the Land of Fire. Drive the Sunagakure ninja out of the Land of Fire first."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was not yet the indecisive old man he would become. He was still a hero of the shinobi world in the prime of his life.

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, yet neither made any move.

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

"So the Second Shinobi World War has finally broken out."

Liu Feng received the news immediately. From what he knew, the Second Shinobi World War was a war 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.

Hearing Liu Feng's question, Uchiha No promptly replied, "Young Master, our Uchiha have not been deployed to the battlefield for now."

"I understand."

The Third Hokage did not trust the Uchiha family much at present, so he likely would not rashly send the Uchiha to the battlefield. Besides, this was only the early stage of the Second Shinobi World War.

[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 spent forty thousand points to refresh the mission. It was a Super S-rank Mission, and its reward thrilled him.

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

"This mission just needs me to lie down and win."

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

"A Super S-rank Mission won't be so easy to clear by lying down. There may be unexpected changes."

Just as Liu Feng muttered about lying down and winning, Haku-freeloading an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, Xiao Meng's voice sounded in his mind.

Liu Feng's expression changed slightly upon hearing Xiao Meng's words. Right, how could the system's missions possibly let him Haku-freeload 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 reward was so generous it practically made him drool. How could he possibly abandon it?

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

Unless Uchiha Madara made a move, Konoha was guaranteed to win no matter what changed.

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

Chapter 38

In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed since the Ninja World War began, and the war 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 had an unfavorable geographical position, caught between the Land of Fire, the Land of Wind, and the Land of Earth. Now, the battlefield of the Ninja World War was the Land of Rain.

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 enemy ninja were within the Land of Rain, they were his enemies.

Hanzo of the Salamander truly had courage at this point. He was not yet the old fellow who feared the younger generation and worried 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, for a total of six draws, but his luck was poor. He did not get a single powerful Character Projection, only a bunch of unknown nobodies.

Other than a tiny amount of points, the rewards were just a few 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 worn it down to death in a battle of attrition.

Although Liu Feng knew more ninjutsu than his projection—for example, 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 had not exhausted his Dojutsu Power and Chakra, it was impossible to inflict a fatal injury.

The Flying Thunder God Technique, a space-time ninjutsu, was not very effective against Time Rewind. He would teleport over and, before he could even launch a sneak attack, a Time Rewind would throw him straight back to where he started.

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

He had been thoroughly disgusted by his own dojutsu. In the end, he simply used Time Rewind against the projection again and again, exhausting it until it went blind before finally killing it.

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

"Damn, I really Haku-expected for nothing."

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

Did that not make this thing worthless to him?

"Xiao Meng, can this Sharingan Advancement Card be used on other people?"

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

"It can be used on other people."

"Then that's good. It isn't completely useless, then."

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

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

At the same time, Liu Feng found an Advancement Card that could evolve a Mangekyō Sharingan into an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. It cost six hundred thousand points, one hundred thousand more than directly redeeming an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

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

Liu Feng was somewhat disappointed. After fusing with the Mangekyō Sharingan Dojutsu Power he had obtained, his Dojutsu Power had indeed increased significantly, but it had not undergone a qualitative transformation.

"If you obtain a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, Liu Feng, then replace yours with them, you should be able to evolve them into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan."
