The Third Raikage was actually quite baffled by his defeat this time. Susanoo's attacks were terrifying, but their speed was not that absurd.

Why did he only react every time the attack was right in front of him? With his abilities, avoiding Susanoo's attacks before they landed should not have been difficult. So why had he been unable to dodge every single time?

"Was it a Mangekyō Sharingan ocular technique?"

The Third Raikage silently guessed to himself. He knew far too little about the Mangekyō Sharingan, after all. This was also his first time witnessing one with his own eyes.

Liu Feng became famous in a single battle. He had led a thousand Konoha Ninja to rout three thousand Cloud Ninja and had even severely wounded the Third Raikage. More than half of the Ninja World learned of it.

Because of this battle, Kumogakure, once feared by the other Great Ninja Villages, was now seen as a paper tiger. The Third Raikage was also considered by many to be the weakest of the Five Kage.

This would probably make the Third Raikage cough up blood.

His former titles of the strongest spear and strongest shield, along with his feat of matching the Eight-Tails in strength, were now dismissed as exaggerated boasts.

They did not know how strong Uchiha Liu Feng was. They only knew that Uchiha Liu Feng was twelve years old, and the Third Raikage had been defeated by a twelve-year-old child. He was undoubtedly the weakest among the Five Kage.

Liu Feng had also heard these rumors.

He gave a somewhat wicked smile. If anyone truly dared to regard the Third Raikage as the weakest of the Five Kage, they would probably get the crap beaten out of them.

"Why are you here? Did the Third Hokage not trust me?"

Liu Feng looked at Tsunade, who had hurried over through wind and dust.

At this point, the relationship between him and Tsunade was no longer as natural as before. They used to speak casually, but things had now become somewhat stiff.

Tsunade gave Liu Feng a complicated look before saying, "The Hokage asked me to lead the Konoha Ninja forces to the Land of Rain battlefield."

How long had it been since they defeated the Cloud Ninja? Hiruzen Sarutobi had already hastily sent someone to take back Liu Feng's command authority.

"Oh, then take them."

Liu Feng spoke calmly.

He did not care. Those people had only obeyed him on the surface anyway. It did not matter whether he had the title of commander or not.

But Tsunade felt this was going too far. Her teacher had not mentioned any reward. Liu Feng had rendered great service by defeating the Cloud Ninja, yet Hiruzen Sarutobi had not mentioned even half a word about Uchiha Liu Feng's merits.

Now he had even sent her to strip Liu Feng of his authority. Tsunade had not wanted to come, but the Third Hokage had produced an official order.

In truth, Tsunade was more important on the Land of Rain battlefield. Yet the Third Hokage had sent Tsunade here because he had a deeper motive.

He had heard that Uchiha Liu Feng and Tsunade had a good relationship. But by sending Tsunade to take away Uchiha Liu Feng's authority this time, even the best relationship would surely develop a rift.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi had overthought things. Liu Feng did not consider the Konoha Ninja placed under his command to be power in his own hands.

Tsunade led the ninja forces to the Land of Rain battlefield, and Liu Feng went with them as well.

This was also part of the deal between Liu Feng and Hiruzen Sarutobi. Liu Feng's mission had not ended just because he had dealt with the Cloud Ninja.

After arriving at the Land of Rain battlefield, Liu Feng became relatively idle. Well, the Uchiha Clan Members he had brought were temporarily under his command, because no one else could command them anyway.

"This war needs to end sooner. I do not want to drag it out for too long either."

Looking toward the Land of Rain, where rain fell without end, a glint of darkness flashed through Liu Feng's eyes.

The mission reward was the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. If he obtained the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, then even the still-living Uchiha Madara would be unable to do anything to him.

After all, Uchiha Madara was already old. His combat strength would inevitably decline, and Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan had probably already been transplanted into Uzumaki Nagato.

Uchiha Madara was a potential enemy in Liu Feng's mind.

It was not because they had any grudge against each other. The two had never even met. But in Liu Feng's eyes, anyone with the strength to threaten his life was a potential enemy.

Half a month had passed since Liu Feng arrived at the Land of Rain battlefield. No major battle had broken out during that time, only small-scale skirmishes.

"You came looking for me?"

Liu Feng looked in surprise at the figure who had appeared before him. She should have been very busy, should she not?

"Yes. I promised to teach you Medical Ninjutsu. I, Tsunade, will never break my word."

That was right. The person who came to Liu Feng was Tsunade. She held a notebook in her hand, containing the insights she had written down regarding Medical Ninjutsu.

For any Medical Ninja, Tsunade's notebook was an invaluable treasure.

"Are you trying to win me over for Konoha?" Liu Feng asked with a raised brow.

Tsunade's expression instantly turned cold. "Do you think I came here with some other purpose?"

Tsunade clenched her fists in anger. Cracks spread across the ground beneath her feet as her strength erupted.

"Hmph."

With a cold snort, Tsunade turned and left.

"Wait. At the very least, leave the notebook behind."

Liu Feng called out to stop Tsunade. Her steps paused, and Liu Feng took her notebook. Perhaps he had judged her with a petty heart. Tsunade might truly have had no other purpose in coming here.

"I've already given you the notebook. If there is anything you do not understand, you can ask me. As for whether I will teach you, that depends on my mood."

Tsunade spoke indifferently.

"Thank you, Tsunade."

Liu Feng sincerely thanked her. Come to think of it, he had learned quite a lot from Tsunade, including the Strength Enhancement Technique and Medical Ninjutsu.

Medical Ninjutsu was not simple. If Liu Feng had researched it by himself, who knew how long it would take just to get started? Having Tsunade guide him certainly made things much easier.

"Hmph."

Tsunade snorted coldly. She still seemed displeased with Liu Feng and left without saying another word to him.

"Looks like I will be busy from now on."

Liu Feng opened Tsunade's notebook, then suddenly widened his eyes.

"The Yin Seal? What does this woman mean?"

He truly had not expected Tsunade to give him the Yin Seal as well. The Yin Seal was an S-rank Sealing Jutsu. Even the Uzumaki clan did not possess it, though Mito Uzumaki knew the Yin Seal.

Perhaps this Yin Seal had been developed by Mito Uzumaki.

The Yin Seal could store Chakra and even preserve youth, but after cultivating it, a diamond-shaped mark would appear on one's forehead.

"Should I cultivate it or not?"

Liu Feng was somewhat conflicted. The Yin Seal was not useless to him, but it was not particularly useful either.

His Chakra was already sufficient, so there was no need to store Chakra for explosive bursts. As for preserving youth, Liu Feng was only twelve this year. Why the hell would he need to preserve his youth?

What Liu Feng truly cared about was the diamond-shaped mark. If not for that mark, he would definitely cultivate it.

But while the diamond-shaped mark added a certain beauty when placed on a woman's forehead, it felt a little too coquettish on a man. Liu Feng could not accept that.

"Forget it. Even if Mikoto does not laugh at me after I cultivate it, that little girl Kushina definitely will."

Liu Feng chose to give up, though he still carefully read through the Yin Seal. If he could improve it somewhat, then cultivating it would not be impossible.

Unfortunately, Liu Feng's current abilities were not enough to improve the Yin Seal. He would think about it in the future.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Liu Feng had no missions, so he remained in the Konoha Camp researching Medical Ninjutsu.

Tsunade came by once more the day before yesterday. With a cold expression, she gave him some guidance on Medical Ninjutsu. Liu Feng could now perform simple treatments.

However, he had yet to master advanced Medical Ninjutsu such as the Mystical Palm Technique. It truly was not easy to learn. Even with Liu Feng's talent, he could not master it overnight, not to mention that he could not devote all his time to researching Medical Ninjutsu.

That night, the moon was dark and the wind was fierce. Not a single insect could be heard within ten miles. Stone Ninja, Amegakure Ninja, and Sunagakure ninja joined forces and launched a surprise attack on the Konoha Camp.

"They have harassed us often enough before, and now they are disturbing my sweet dream. I think you are all tired of living."

Liu Feng opened his eyes and walked outside, his expression icy.

This attack by the Three Ninja Villages Allied Forces was highly successful. Perhaps because no major battle had occurred for so long, the Konoha Ninja had let down their guard and now suffered heavy losses.

"Die, brat!"

"Heh, someone actually came looking to die."

Liu Feng coldly dealt with a Stone Ninja from Iwagakure who dared to attack him.

Then Liu Feng frowned. In the darkness, the Konoha Ninja and enemy ninja were mixed together, making it impossible to use Ninjutsu.

If he used Ninjutsu, the number of allies killed by it might exceed the number of enemies.

"This kind of war really limits what I can do."

Large-scale Ninjutsu and Susanoo could not be used unless Liu Feng was willing to kill enemies at any cost and did not care about his allies.

But with the Flying Thunder God Technique, even without using large-scale clearing Ninjutsu, Liu Feng's killing speed remained extremely fast.

"Hmm, Third Kazekage, we meet again."

Liu Feng spotted an old acquaintance and immediately went to meet him. The Third Kazekage, who had been continuously killing Konoha Ninja, wore a grim expression when he saw Liu Feng.

"Great Ball Rasengan."

In an instant, he used the Flying Thunder God to appear behind the Third Kazekage, then used the Rasengan again and slammed it toward him.

The power of an A-rank Ninjutsu was already formidable, especially since the Great Ball Rasengan was an enhanced version of the Rasengan and was nearly as powerful as an S-rank Ninjutsu.

Thus, even though the Third Kazekage did his best to defend himself, he was still sent flying. Liu Feng then used Chidori and charged at the Third Kazekage once more.

Less than half a minute later, three wounds had already appeared on the Third Kazekage's body. He was covered in mud and looked extremely bedraggled.

"Why are you getting weaker and weaker?"

Liu Feng asked the Third Kazekage with disdain. It felt like the Third Kazekage was not as strong as when they had fought before.

The Third Kazekage wanted to cough up blood. It was not that he had grown weaker, but that Liu Feng had grown stronger.

Liu Feng's strength was in a period of rapid growth, and he worked extremely hard in his training. Naturally, becoming stronger was only to be expected.

"Forget it. Let's end this quickly."
