Chapter 7

"My authority as the Third Elder isn't all that great, and I don't have much to do. I happen to have time to teach you two. Besides, now that you've graduated and become ninjas, I wouldn't feel at ease letting someone else lead you."

Uchiha Cloud patted Liu Feng on the shoulder as he spoke.

He had become the Third Elder by taking over his father's position. He was still too young—at least compared to the other elders—and lacked sufficient seniority, so he did not hold much power. On the other hand, that left him fairly free, giving him time to serve as a squad leader.

However, he had truly come to be a squad leader in order to look after Liu Feng. Liu Feng's father had once saved his life, and he had always remembered it.

"Now that Uncle Cloud has become our Jonin leader, my mission should be easier to complete," Liu Feng silently thought.

Still, convincing Uncle Cloud to cooperate would not be easy. A trace of worry appeared on Liu Feng's face.

Chapter 7

Liu Feng's class was rather unusual. Other classes had three students, while Liu Feng's class only had him and Mikoto. Including their Jonin leader, Uchiha Cloud, there were only three people altogether.

"Uncle Cloud, aren't we going to have a test?"

Uchiha Cloud brought them to the training grounds and immediately began teaching them, without conducting any assessment.

Usually, there would be an assessment after the classes were assigned. If someone failed, then even after graduating, they would be sent back to the Ninja Academy to continue studying.

"No need. You already defeated Uchiha Fugaku, so do you still need a test? Mikoto is my daughter. I know exactly how strong she is."

Uchiha Cloud shook his head, then began guiding Liu Feng and Mikoto in their training.

Liu Feng also asked Uchiha Cloud about Fire Style: Majestic Fire Annihilation. As an Elite Jonin, teaching Liu Feng was no problem for him.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed. With the guidance of an Elite Jonin, Liu Feng truly felt that he had improved significantly, mainly because he had gained much valuable experience.

"The Three Tomoe Sharingan has finally been unlocked. I can carry out the mission now. If I wait any longer, there won't be time."

The three tomoe in Liu Feng's eyes flashed and vanished.

Liu Feng had awakened this Three Tomoe Sharingan on his own. Over three days, he had entered the Trial Space ten times. He had challenged the Ten-Tails Projection, the Nine-Tails Projection, and Uchiha Madara Projection in his Eternal Mangekyo state.

Without question, he could not defeat a single one. Of the ten Character Projections he had previously drawn, Liu Feng had dealt with three.

The remaining seven were Senju Hashirama Projection, Senju Tobirama Projection, Uchiha Madara Projection in Eternal Mangekyo state, Ōnoki Projection, Mangekyō Uchiha Liu Feng Projection, Nine-Tails Projection, and Ten-Tails Projection.

The weakest of these seven projections was at Kage Level. Senju Hashirama Projection, Uchiha Madara Projection, and Nine-Tails Projection were all Super Kage-level, and Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara were not merely ordinary Super Kage-level opponents.

As for the Ten-Tails Projection, it was at Six Paths level—completely beyond the standard.

Setting aside those four opponents he absolutely could not defeat, the remaining three could still easily crush Liu Feng as he was now.

The Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, could forcefully use Water Style like Sea Style. He was proficient in all kinds of secret techniques and was at least Peak Kage-level, perhaps even Super Kage-level.

The Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki of Both Scales, possessed Dust Release, a Kekkei Tōta that surpassed Kekkei Genkai. It could break a person down into atoms, and his combat strength was roughly Peak Kage-level.

Finally, there was himself in the Mangekyō Sharingan state. Since Liu Feng did not know the other two ocular techniques of his projection, it was difficult to judge its combat strength. In any case, it was at least Kage Level.

He had challenged them ten times, basically facing each projection once. Every time, the result had been the same: he was killed without any doubt.

The reason Liu Feng continued challenging them despite knowing he would be crushed was to awaken the Three Tomoe Sharingan.

In the end, Liu Feng had indeed succeeded. After experiencing life and death ten times, he awakened the Three Tomoe Sharingan under the stimulation of death.

After all, Liu Feng knew he would not truly die, which was why it took ten challenges for him to evolve his Sharingan into the Three Tomoe Sharingan. If it had been a genuine life-or-death crisis, one time would probably have been enough for him to evolve.

But no matter how reckless Liu Feng was, he could not joke around with his own life.

"With the Three Tomoe Sharingan, the success rate of this mission is as high as fifty percent." Liu Feng was slightly excited.

If the Three Tomoe Sharingan had not been connected to his plan for completing the mission, Liu Feng would not have used such a self-torturing method to evolve it.

Though he would not truly die, the feeling of death was painfully real. Liu Feng truly did not want to experience it.

After leaving home, Liu Feng first went to find his grandfather, Uchiha Sou, and borrowed an absolutely trustworthy Elite Jonin from him.

Uchiha Sou did not ask what Liu Feng intended to do. He directly assigned an Elite Jonin from the Uchiha family to Liu Feng.

From then on, this person would also be under Liu Feng's command and be responsible for protecting his safety.

This Elite Jonin was named Uchiha No. He was twenty-one years old, and becoming an Elite Jonin at that age made him a fairly outstanding genius.

Afterward, Liu Feng went next door to Mikoto's home.

"Wait a moment. I haven't finished cooking yet." When Mikoto saw Liu Feng arrive, she spoke to him.

Because Liu Feng often came over for meals, Mikoto assumed he had come to mooch another meal.

"Mikoto, is Uncle Cloud home? I need to discuss something with him."

"You want to discuss something with my father?" Mikoto seemed to think of something. Her face flushed red, and she immediately ran toward the kitchen.

Liu Feng stared blankly at Mikoto's retreating figure, his face full of question marks. He could not understand what was happening. Why was she blushing?

"Liu Feng, what do you need from me?"

At that moment, the door to the next room opened, and Uchiha Cloud walked out.

"This is important. Uncle Cloud, let's talk somewhere else." Liu Feng directly pulled Uchiha Cloud into the nearby study, then shut the door behind them.

"You're acting so mysterious. Don't tell me you're here to ask for Mikoto's hand?" Uchiha Cloud asked Liu Feng suspiciously.

"If you are here to ask for her hand, I won't object. Of course, it still depends on Mikoto's opinion, but I don't think she would object either."

Liu Feng was stunned by that and hurriedly said,

"Uncle Cloud, there's no need to rush the matter of asking for her hand. I have something else to discuss right now."

He was only ten years old. Why would he be in such a hurry to ask for someone's hand? Besides, his grandfather would need to come forward for something like that.

"Then what is it?" Uchiha Cloud asked.

"It is rather complicated. It has something to do with the Uzumaki clan."

When he heard it involved the Uzumaki clan, Uchiha Cloud frowned. He did not think highly of the Uzumaki clan.
