Shisui Uchiha's guidance! The Nine-Tails Seal

"Yes, Shisui, when I said another peerless genius was about to emerge among us Uchiha, I meant this kid!"

Uchiha Itachi laughed, his smile as bright as sunshine, then quickly turned to Ning Feng. "Minato, hurry up and say hello!"

"Big Brother Shisui!"

As long as he could grow stronger, calling someone his big brother hardly mattered.

Ning Feng promptly called out sweetly. Perhaps because this identity of his had already become fully integrated into this world, Ning Feng could actually feel the warmth of family in Shisui's and Itachi's eyes.

The warmth of kinship.

In truth, Ning Feng had never expected Itachi to bring him to meet Shisui.

After all, in the original Naruto story, Shisui Uchiha was quite a legendary figure, having made a name for himself early in the Third Shinobi World War and become known as the Body Flicker Ninja.

Moreover, like Itachi, he had possessed a vision that reached beyond the clan from a young age.

To quell the Uchiha Clan's rebellion, Shisui Uchiha had even been willing to use Kotoamatsukami, hoping to change the mind of Danzo, the leader of Konoha's Root, and have him handle matters more peacefully.

Unfortunately, Shisui Uchiha had fallen into Danzo's ambush. To keep his Sharingan out of Danzo's hands, he had been left with no choice but to leap into the Naka River and die.

Yet it was precisely Shisui Uchiha's death that had allowed Uchiha Itachi to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan and take his strength a step further...

In short, he was a super ninja of extraordinary intelligence and talent.

Ning Feng truly held considerable respect for someone like him.

"Little Brother Minato."

Shisui Uchiha gave Ning Feng a friendly look.

With his exceptionally keen perception, he could clearly tell that there was far more to Ning Feng than met the eye.

"Very impressive indeed. I can tell just by looking that this kid Minato will surely become a pillar of the Uchiha Clan someday!"

Shisui Uchiha laughed.

Beside him, Uchiha Itachi immediately looked smug. "Shisui, just whose little brother do you think Minato is?"

The two caught up like old friends for quite some time before Uchiha Itachi finally got to the point. "Shisui, the real reason I came this time was to ask you to look after Minato more while I'm away on Anbu missions."

"Of course, that's no problem!"

Shisui Uchiha nodded slightly. He had already guessed what Itachi had in mind.

Ning Feng could hardly have been happier to hear this.

Itachi and Shisui each had their own specialties in ninjutsu. If both of them taught him, his strength would improve extremely quickly.

"All right, enough chatter. Minato, train with us today!"

Shisui Uchiha gave a knowing smile, and beside him, Uchiha Itachi's eyes narrowed slightly as well.

How could Ning Feng pass up a training opportunity like this!?

Just then, a pleasant, clear notification suddenly rang out:

"Congratulations! Your affinity with Shisui Uchiha has reached 60 points, activating the exclusive quest [Shisui Uchiha's guidance]!"

"Accept!?"

An exclusive quest had activated just like that!?

How could Ning Feng refuse? He immediately nodded emphatically. "Being able to train alongside Big Brother Shisui and Big Brother Itachi is a blessing I earned in my previous life!"

"Enough flattery. Who even taught you that?"

Uchiha Itachi shrugged, then exchanged a glance with Shisui Uchiha. The two immediately darted into the distance and vanished without a trace.

Had Ning Feng not activated his Sharingan, he probably would not have been able to make out their movements, much less track them.

Ning Feng knew that the training had probably truly begun!

He immediately activated his Sharingan and raced after Uchiha Itachi and Shisui Uchiha at tremendous speed.

Running in the lead, Shisui Uchiha turned to look. When he saw that Ning Feng had actually caught up, the smile on his lips deepened, as though this had exceeded his expectations.

Suddenly, Shisui Uchiha formed a hand seal. His running speed instantly increased considerably, and he began weaving swiftly among Konoha's houses.

Uchiha Itachi quickly explained, "The ninjutsu Shisui just used gathers chakra at the tips of your toes. The next step in your training is to gather chakra wherever you want through thought alone."

"Only then will you have the speed to move freely among the houses!"

As he spoke, Uchiha Itachi also gave Ning Feng a demonstration.

With the Sharingan's fearsome perceptiveness, Ning Feng grasped the trick almost instantly.

He immediately gathered the small amount of chakra in his body beneath both feet.

Sure enough, as his chakra moved rapidly, Ning Feng's running speed instantly increased several times over.

"Congratulations! Your chakra control has reached level 2!"

"Your hand seal speed has increased by 20%, and your ninjutsu power has increased by 20%!"

At the pleasant, clear notification, Ning Feng first froze, then rejoiced.

So he could further increase his hand seal speed through a series of training exercises. No wonder so many Kage Level fighters no longer even needed hand seals later on.

"Not bad!"

Not far away, Shisui Uchiha saw Ning Feng catch up so quickly after falling some distance behind and nodded to himself. Uchiha Minato's talent really is formidable.

Whoosh!

Uchiha Itachi flickered and landed beside Shisui Uchiha, satisfaction written all over his face as well. "My dear little brother, you've mastered the use of chakra so quickly. You really are extraordinarily gifted!"

"Yes. I'd originally planned to wait a few days before teaching you some of our Uchiha taijutsu..."

Shisui Uchiha was about to continue when he and Uchiha Itachi suddenly exchanged a wary glance. Both had distinctly sensed a measure of danger.

Meanwhile, relying on his exceptionally keen Sharingan, Ning Feng also quickly detected a group of ninja moving toward the Namikaze Clan's residence at tremendous speed!

Their target seemed to be Kushina Uzumaki's son, the future Naruto Uzumaki.

After all, only a few months remained before Kushina Uzumaki gave birth, and this was when the Nine-Tails Seal within her was at its weakest.

Once the Nine-Tails Seal weakened, the Nine-Tails could very well appear and bring unprecedented trouble to all of Konoha!

Later, Obito Uchiha, disguised as Madara Uchiha, had seized precisely this opportunity to deal Konoha a devastating blow!

[World announcement]: Kirigakure Ninja are attacking, triggering the large-scale instance quest [Protect Kushina Uzumaki]! Konoha players, please proceed to (121,123) and protect the Hokage's wife [Kushina Uzumaki]!

Players from other hidden villages may temporarily join the Kirigakure faction and attack Konoha together. Outstanding performance in the instance quest can be converted into instance points, which can be exchanged for ninjutsu scrolls, kekkei genkai, and more!
