Chapter 40

The location was the Land of Rain, a country where it rained year-round. Speaking of which, the Land of Rain was quite pitiful, as its geographical position was terrible.

It was completely surrounded by major nations and had become their battlefield. This was also why Hanzo of the Salamander had joined the Second Shinobi World War.

Aside from his ambitions, he simply no longer wanted to be bullied. He had endured enough humiliation, and Hanzo of the Salamander did not want the Land of Rain to be treated as a battlefield forever.

"Be careful. We might encounter an ambush on the way."

Liu Feng gave Mikoto a reminder.

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

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

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

After traveling for the first day, Liu Feng encountered no danger. He did not even run into a single petty bandit.

"Let's rest up ahead."

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

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 said with a smile.

Mikoto's face flushed slightly. She felt that Liu Feng's words carried another meaning. After shooting him a fierce glare, she sat down and took out some rations.

When carrying out missions in the wild, they could forget about eating well. All they had was dry, hard rations, and to be honest, they tasted awful.

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

"We seem to be surrounded."

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

Although Mikoto had not detected the enemy, she did not dare let her guard down 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. While they could not compare to the Uzumaki clan's Mind's Eye of the Kagura, they far surpassed those of ordinary sensory ninja.

Moreover, through the nine-tails chakra in his body, Liu Feng could also sense killing intent.

"To think we were discovered by two brats. Kill them and take the supplies on them."

A squad leader wearing an Amegakure ninja forehead protector stepped out, cruelty written across his face. At the same time, nine more ninja appeared and surrounded Liu Feng and Mikoto.

"One jonin and nine Chunin."

His gaze swept across the ten-man squad. If they were facing two ordinary Chunin, they would definitely be doomed.

But against Liu Feng, these people were far from enough. Not even an Elite Jonin had appeared. Were they looking down on him that much?

Mikoto looked at the ten ninja surrounding them. Though shocked, she remained calm. As long as Liu Feng was beside her, she felt as though she had someone to rely on and was not afraid.

Chapter 40

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

"Courting death."

Splat!

A kunai instantly sliced through one Chunin's throat. Then, Liu Feng formed a Rasengan in one hand and slammed it into another ninja's abdomen.

The Rasengan was powerful enough to bore through a tree that would take 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 incredible speed, then 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 the blink of an eye. The remaining three were utterly intimidated by Liu Feng.

"You dare come after me with such pathetic strength? Tell me, how was information about us leaked?"

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

When he accepted the mission, he had been told his targets were two brats who had graduated less than a year ago. He had not taken it seriously at all. Who could have expected one of them to be so terrifying?

"Forget it. I doubt you know anything anyway, so I might as well kill you."

A fierce killing intent appeared in Liu Feng's eyes. He had never shown mercy to enemies.

"Mikoto, deal with that Chunin. I'll take care of the other two."

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

"Okay."

Mikoto was equally decisive. Using the Fire Style she was best at, she charged at one of the Chunin, leaving the remaining jonin and Chunin to Liu Feng.

Lightning Style: Chidori!

Liu Feng's target was the Chunin. He would get rid of this nuisance first, then deal with the jonin.

With Liu Feng's speed, a mere Chunin could not evade his attack. Liu Feng's palm 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, fear toward the brat standing before him. To him, that was the greatest humiliation.

Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!

Water Style: Water Wall Jutsu!

The fireball collided with the barrier formed by Water Style, and a massive amount of steam spread in all directions.

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