Chapter 42

Danzo glanced at his subordinate and spoke indifferently.

Now that he had returned to the village, how could they kill him? Uchiha Liu Feng spent most of his time within the Uchiha clan. Were they supposed to go into the Uchiha clan and kill him?

Although Danzo was bold and unscrupulous in his methods, he could not act without any reservations. If he truly did that, would he not be forcing the Uchiha into rebellion?

Under normal circumstances, Danzo might actually dare to do it. But during the Ninja World War, if he forced the Uchiha into rebellion, Konoha would be finished.

"Once I get another chance, it will be your death day." Danzo snorted coldly and closed his eyes.

Liu Feng had no idea that Danzo desperately wanted to kill him. In truth, Liu Feng and Danzo had no real grudge against each other; Danzo simply saw Liu Feng as a threat.

After this mission, Liu Feng lived a peaceful life. Even when there were missions, he no longer accepted them, instead devoting himself to training, teaching Mikoto, and occasionally spending time with Kushina when she came to find him.

Sometimes, he also went out to gather with classmates he was on fairly good terms with, such as Nawaki and the others.

A year passed just like that. The situation on the battlefield grew increasingly intense, and even Kumogakure and Iwagakure, who had originally remained on the sidelines, seemed inclined to join this Ninja World War.

Sunagakure and Amegakure had also temporarily formed an alliance. Konoha was too dominant, so they chose to join forces.

Konoha during this period was absolutely not weak. Although Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade could not yet stand on their own, they were already among the strongest. Together, the three of them could fight at Kage Level.

Konoha's White Fang Sakumo Hatake was firmly at Kage Level. Even against the Third Kazekage, he did not fall behind and even faintly suppressed him.

Moreover, Hiruzen Sarutobi had not yet gone to the battlefield. Although Danzo was no good person, his strength was unquestionable. He was also at Kage Level.

Together with Konoha's major clans, even an alliance between Sunagakure ninja and Amegakure Ninja would not be enough to stand against Konoha.

"Xiao Meng, is my luck really that bad?"

In the System Space, today was the monthly time to draw a Character Projection. Yet Liu Feng had once again drawn an unknown Genin extra.

He had drawn twelve times over the past year. Aside from one exception, nearly all of them had been Genin and Chunin, and they had all been insignificant extras.

As for that one burst of luck, Liu Feng could not afford to provoke her either: Kaguya Otsutsuki's projection.

Although Kaguya Otsutsuki did not perform well and lacked combat experience, her power was undeniably formidable. Among all the Character Projections Liu Feng had drawn so far, she was the strongest.

It looked like he had been lucky, but since he could not defeat Kaguya Otsutsuki, she was actually of little value to Liu Feng.

"Maybe your luck really is that bad. Anyway, it wasn't me rigging things. I can't rig things."

Xiao Meng hurriedly explained herself to Liu Feng, lest he suspect her of manipulating the results.

"Don't worry. How could I possibly suspect you?"

Liu Feng patted Xiao Meng on the head, though he used a little too much force, leaving her quite annoyed.

You looked like you wanted to beat me up just now, teeth clenched and all, and you still say you didn't suspect me? You absolutely suspected me.

He opened the Mission Panel. There was only a single lonely Super S-rank Mission, and it was not something that could be completed anytime soon.

After leaving the System Space, Liu Feng headed toward the Uchiha Training Ground.

On the way, Uchiha No suddenly came to report to Liu Feng.

"Young Master, Uchiha Fugaku has gone to the battlefield. Should I make a move and get rid of him?"

A ruthless look appeared on Uchiha No's face. If Uchiha Fugaku was eliminated, no one would be able to compete with Liu Feng for the position of Clan Head. In the future, the position of Uchiha Clan Head would certainly belong to Liu Feng.

"As long as I make a move, I can definitely ensure that Uchiha Fugaku dies on the battlefield."

"Shut up. Don't bring this up again."

Liu Feng looked at Uchiha No coldly. The terrifying fluctuations of Chakra forced Uchiha No back several steps, and he hurriedly lowered his head.

"Uchiha Fugaku and I have conflicts, but it has not reached the point where we would slaughter our own clan."

Unless they completely fell out and became enemies, he would never do something like slaughtering his own clan. That was Liu Feng's principle. Otherwise, with Liu Feng's strength, would killing Uchiha Fugaku not be easy?

Chapter 42

After being reprimanded by Liu Feng, Uchiha No lowered his head in shame. Raising a hand against one's own clan truly was disgraceful.

"Young Master, I still have to remind you that although you do not wish to make a move against Uchiha Fugaku, there is no guarantee they will not think of making a move against you. Young Master, you should be more cautious in the future."

In the end, Uchiha No still gave Liu Feng a reminder.

"Don't worry. If they make a move, I won't show mercy either."

For the sake of their shared clan, Liu Feng would not take the initiative to kill Uchiha Fugaku. But if they disregarded that bond, Liu Feng would not mind raising the butcher's blade.

At that point, he would no longer regard them as fellow clansmen, but as enemies.

If possible, Liu Feng still hoped the Uchiha could unite and face their enemies together. But he also knew that seemed unlikely.

Liu Feng did not think much of Uchiha Fugaku going to the battlefield. The situation was a little abnormal now. Iwagakure ninja had already begun appearing along the border, seemingly intending to interfere.

According to rumors, Sunagakure seemed to have paid a certain price to invite Iwagakure ninja to help deal with Konoha.

Facing two major Ninja Villages at once, along with Amegakure, which was second only to the Five Great Ninja Villages, placed enormous pressure on Konoha this time.

Kumogakure and Kirigakure also had to be guarded against. If Konoha truly fell into a disadvantageous position, they would never refrain from acting.

"I just hope Konoha doesn't get surrounded and attacked."

In the original Second Shinobi World War, Konoha mainly fought Sunagakure ninja and Amegakure Ninja, not Iwagakure ninja. Things had already changed now.

If Iwagakure joined in against Konoha and gained benefits, then the covetous Kumogakure would certainly make a move as well.

Konoha occupied the wealthiest location, and defeating Konoha would yield the greatest benefits. Therefore, there was a strong possibility that Konoha would be besieged.

If it became one against four—no, one against five—then even if Konoha was powerful, it would not be able to withstand it. Konoha was a cradle of geniuses and had many powerful shinobi, but it still could not compare to the combined forces of the other Four Great Ninja Villages and Amegakure.

At the training ground, Liu Feng practiced some ninjutsu and took the opportunity to offer some guidance to his clansmen.

There were not many clansmen still training at the training ground now. They had probably gone to the battlefield. Many Chunin who were still quite young had already been sent there.

The major clans had all dispatched their members to the battlefield. After all, Konoha's defeat was not something these clans wished to see. Their interests were all bound to Konoha.

"Nawaki, why did you invite me out?"
