"Oh? Why!?"
Ning Feng smiled coldly and ignored the players.
Seeing that Ning Feng actually treated them this way, unafraid of them joining forces, one of the lackeys immediately stepped forward and shoved at him, trying to push him aside.
Unfortunately, Ning Feng had already activated his Sharingan. The player's movements looked as slow as a crawling snail to him. Before the player could even act, a bang rang out, an 89 appeared above his head, and he went flying a considerable distance.
Then light flashed around the player, and he dropped dead on the ground, respawning at the fountain.
"What terrifying strength! Is he an Akimichi Clan player!?"
Who could have imagined that this seemingly harmless fellow would be so powerful? More importantly, he was only level 1!
With a startled cry, the players nearby quickly drew their Kunai and lunged at Ning Feng. Their leader, [Hyuga Shankai], did not hold back either. He joined the melee directly, assuming the Hyuga family's Eight Trigrams Palm stance.
Unfortunately, however fast their attacks or complicated their movements, they were as slow as crawling turtles in Ning Feng's Sharingan.
With an effortless dodge, Ning Feng evaded [Hyuuga Kaitian]'s Eight Trigrams Palm. Then he stepped back and rapidly formed Hand Seals:
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
Ning Feng's seal-forming speed was not fast at this point, but to the players, it was already quite impressive.
A searing torrent of flame burst from Ning Feng's mouth in an instant. The enormous fireball roared straight toward [Hyuuga Kaitian] and the others, its scorching heat rapidly raising the temperature throughout the alley.
"W-what ninjutsu is this!?"
"Is this something a fucking level 1 player can do!?"
Unfortunately, even if [Hyuuga Kaitian] and the others wanted to reconsider, they had neither the time nor the opportunity. They could only watch helplessly as the enormous fireball roared toward them, dealing massive damage of over 100 points.
The next moment, [Hyuuga Kaitian] and the others died outright and respawned at the fountain.
The other players dropped nothing worthwhile, but [Hyuuga Kaitian] himself dropped several Kunai and Explosive Tags, along with a pile of gold coins.
Ignoring the looks from the shopkeepers along the surrounding streets, Ning Feng cautiously approached where the players had died and picked up the loot.
"Congratulations! You picked up 5 Kunai!" "[Kunai]: A hidden weapon essential for ninja sneak attacks. Deals 150% physical damage to enemies!" "Congratulations! You picked up 3 Explosive Tags!" "[Explosive Tag]: An essential item for support-type ninja. Can be set to explode at a specified time, used to lay traps, and so on. Deals an extremely terrifying 300% physical damage to enemies!" "Congratulations! You defeated the higher-level player [Hyūga Shankai]!" "You gained 122 experience points!" "You leveled up! You reached level 2!" "You leveled up! You reached level 3!"
Soon, his previously rather empty bag was filled with Kunai and Explosive Tags.
Only after sorting everything out did Ning Feng notice that he had actually reached level 3. No wonder his movements felt much quicker and more agile.
At the same time, however, Ning Feng also noticed that his physical capabilities were much greater, seemingly because he had already soaked in the Uchiha Clan's secret medicine.
Just after Ning Feng finished off the players before him, the Kirigakure spies hiding in the crowd noticed that everyone's attention had turned toward him. Even the Konoha Ninja tracking them had been drawn over, and the spies immediately cast grateful looks at Ning Feng.
The next moment, the Kirigakure spies mingled with the crowd, preparing to escape.
Unfortunately, Ning Feng took in every one of their movements.
With a flicker, Ning Feng quietly followed them.
To avoid being discovered by the Kirigakure spies, Ning Feng deliberately kept a very considerable distance.
Before long, Ning Feng followed the Kirigakure spies to the vicinity of a dilapidated house on the outskirts of Konoha.
The lead Kirigakure spy, [Hoshigaki Kamechū], had just placed a scroll bearing a written message inside the house and was preparing to return when Ning Feng slowly emerged.
"I never thought I'd run into Kirigakure spies here."
"There's still time for you to beg for mercy!"
Ning Feng spoke calmly.
Those players earlier had not been nearly enough to give Ning Feng a challenge. Right now, he was truly eager to see the real power of his Sharingan.
Sure enough, upon hearing Ning Feng's voice, the lead Kirigakure spy, [Hoshigaki Kamechū], shuddered, thinking an elite Konoha ninja had discovered them. But when they turned and saw that it was actually a child, they exchanged contemptuous looks.
"A little brat who isn't even a Genin-didn't your clan teach you to mind your own business!?"
As the Kirigakure spy [Hoshigaki Kamechū] spoke, his hands were already poised to rapidly form seals.
Yet just as he prepared to form seals and end the battle in an instant, something that shocked him happened...
In the dark night, a pair of scarlet Sharingan shone brightly, as though illuminating everything before them!
"Sharingan!? An Uchiha clansman!?"
"An Uchiha clansman this young!?"
"It's actually the Sharingan!?"
Their contemptuous gazes immediately turned grave at the sight of Ning Feng's eyes. The lead Kirigakure spy, [Hoshigaki Kamechū], in particular, instantly realized why this boy had been able to discover them while they had failed to detect his presence.
"Water Release: Small Water Dragon..."
[Hoshigaki Kamechū] could no longer afford to worry about much else and rapidly formed Hand Seals. The Kirigakure spies beside him also sprang into action, lunging swiftly toward Ning Feng.
Although Ning Feng had yet to train in techniques such as the Substitution Technique or Clone Technique, to him, with the Sharingan, learning them would only take a matter of minutes.
The next moment, Ning Feng rapidly formed seals. "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
His seal-forming speed was actually faster than that of the three Kirigakure spies. An enormous, scorching fireball roared straight toward them.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
They were Genin, after all, and spies who had operated around Konoha for years. As the scorching fireball swept over them, all three spies turned into logs. They had clearly used the Substitution Technique, one of the Three Body Technique!
And thanks to the Sharingan's astonishing perceptiveness and copying ability, Ning Feng quickly learned the Substitution Technique as well!
"Congratulations! You used the Sharingan to learn [Substitution Technique], one of the Three Body Technique!"
