Might Guy and Kakashi's shock! Competing to be his teacher?

Seeing that his personal stats panel had been completely transformed, especially now that the ninjutsu section contained some decent techniques, Ning Feng was delighted.

But he also knew that his current strength was still far below that of true ninja.

What's more, it wouldn't be long before the Nine-Tails descended. When that happened, the Uchiha Clan would be treated as never before and face a grave crisis...

He had to grow stronger quickly before then!

As Ning Feng was thinking this, several figures darted out of the Hokage's residence toward the place where the Kirigakure spy had appeared, vanishing almost in the blink of an eye.

Clearly, they were following the clues about the Kirigakure spy that Ning Feng had left behind to search for other Kirigakure spy ninja.

Deactivating his Sharingan, Ning Feng glanced at the sky. It was already late, so he prepared to return to the Uchiha residence.

Just then, Ning Feng suddenly heard shouts in the distance. In the nearby woods, two figures were clashing repeatedly at tremendous speed.

One had a specially made long sword at his waist and a mask over his face, his whole bearing icy. The other wore a green bodysuit and kept attacking him with Taijutsu.

"Kakashi, when it comes to Taijutsu, you're no match for me, the man known as Konoha's Blue Beast!"

"Hmph, Might Guy, I've just been going easy on you!"

As their voices rang out, the two exchanged blows at incredible speed, colliding again and again, with the occasional clang of Kunai.

Hearing them, Ning Feng hurriedly turned his gaze toward them, and a faint smile immediately appeared on his lips.

Who else could these two be but Kakashi, the future Sixth Hokage and teacher of Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, and Might Guy, the Blue Beast?!

While they fought, Ning Feng swiftly darted closer and activated his Sharingan.

How could Ning Feng miss such a precious chance to watch two powerful fighters battle?!

His Sharingan immediately began copying the moves they exchanged.

He had to admit that the Sharingan truly lived up to its reputation. It learned incredibly fast.

"Congratulations! You have learned Konoha Whirlwind!"

"Congratulations! You have learned Leaf Great Whirlwind!"

"Congratulations! You have learned Konoha Strong Whirlwind!"

"Congratulations! You have learned Front Lotus!"

"Congratulations! You have learned Shadow of the Dancing Leaf!"

Simply by watching the two fight, Ning Feng actually learned all their ninjutsu.

Unfortunately, the two seemed to be competing only in Taijutsu, so almost everything Ning Feng learned was a Taijutsu move. Still, that was already enough.

Of course, although Ning Feng had now learned moves such as Konoha Whirlwind, without activating the Eight Gates Released Formation, his Taijutsu could unleash only a portion of their power at most.

"Not bad, not bad. The Sharingan really lives up to its reputation!"

Ning Feng couldn't help marveling. The Uchiha Clan's Sharingan really is absurd. It can copy whatever ninjutsu you want.

No wonder Kakashi had earned the title of Copy Ninja.

After learning for quite a while, Ning Feng finally stopped when he felt that his Sharingan was very tired.

The two fighters had also noticed Ning Feng by then.

Kakashi in particular gave Ning Feng another surprised look. In particular, the clothes Ning Feng wore seemed to have all been left behind by his father, Hatake Sakumo, who had been known as the "Konoha White Fang."

Whoosh!

Without warning, Kakashi darted in front of Ning Feng, his sharp Kunai already held against Ning Feng's body.

But just as Kakashi was about to question Ning Feng about his purpose, a cloud of white mist dispersed, and Ning Feng vanished without a trace, turning into a pitch-black shadow.

"Huh?! What quick reflexes!"

"He's actually mastered the Shadow Clone Technique!"

Might Guy also stopped, his face full of surprise.

A child of only five had actually mastered the Shadow Clone Technique?! Anyone would have been stunned by that.

Whoosh!

Ning Feng appeared behind Kakashi without warning, his legs already turning into a whirlwind as he kicked swiftly at Kakashi.

"Huh?! Konoha Whirlwind?!"

Shocked, Kakashi raised his right arm and blocked Ning Feng's move.

Beside him, Might Guy's eyes and face were also filled with astonishment, so much so that he was utterly stunned. "You learned my Konoha Whirlwind just by watching for a little while?!"

Ning Feng didn't continue attacking. Instead, he put on an utterly innocent expression. "Big brothers, I saw you fighting here, so I came over to join in the fun and learn some ninjutsu while I was at it."

"I absolutely didn't mean to disturb you. I'll be going now!"

Hearing this, Kakashi finally lowered his guard, and his cold eyes grew considerably warmer.

Might Guy, however, was even more astonished. "Little guy, you mastered my Konoha Whirlwind that quickly?! I've never seen a genius like you!"

"Why don't you stick with me from now on and feel the power of youth! I'll teach you the mighty Taijutsu of the Konoha Blue Beast!"

At this point, Kakashi had yet to fully emerge from the shadow of his teammate Rin dying before his eyes. Yet seeing Ning Feng now, for some reason, he suddenly thought of Obito Uchiha, who also belonged to the Uchiha Clan.

"Little guy, your talent is extraordinary. With a little training, you're sure to become a formidable ninja. I'm willing to teach you ninjutsu, if you'd like! I'll be your teacher!" Kakashi took a deep breath and hurriedly spoke.

For some reason, Kakashi always felt he owed the Uchiha Clan something.

"Hmph, Kakashi, you have so much Anbu work every day. How could you find time to teach this kid ninjutsu? Leave the burning of youth to me!"

As he spoke, Might Guy also shot Kakashi a sparkling look, as though his youth were burning.

"Congratulations! Kakashi's favorability toward you has increased to 65 points!"

"Congratulations! Might Guy's favorability toward you has increased to 65 points!"

Hearing the notifications of their soaring favorability, Ning Feng's lips curved slightly.

He had only intended to pick up some techniques by watching, but he hadn't expected the two to value talent so much that both wanted to become his teacher.

What's more, both their favorability scores had actually reached 65 points!

"Kakashi, Might Guy, thank you for wanting to be my little brother's teacher."

"But naturally, my little brother will be taught by me, his older brother!"

Suddenly, Uchiha Itachi appeared without warning, his doting gaze falling directly on Ning Feng.
