[World announcement]: Kirigakure Ninja attacked, triggering the Large-Scale Instance Mission [Protect Kushina Uzumaki]... [World announcement]: Kirigakure Ninja attacked, triggering the Large-Scale Instance Mission [Protect Kushina Uzumaki]...
Suddenly, three consecutive world announcements flooded the entire world channel, instantly turning the once-quiet channel into a hub of activity.
"After all this waiting, a Large-Scale Instance Mission finally opened!"
"This is awesome! This dungeon mission actually started in Konohagakure! As Kirigakure Ninja, we finally have a chance to show what we can do!"
"The Kirigakure Ninja Alliance is recruiting! Any player from Kirigakure can join our alliance. We give players some Water Release Ninjutsu from time to time..."
"Hmph, what's so great about the Kirigakure Ninja Alliance? Our Iwagakure Ninja Alliance is the best! Just join, and our leader will personally give you an Earth Release ninjutsu scroll..."
Countless players immediately began discussing it, and many players from other ninja villages even used teleportation stones to travel to Konohagakure.
Standing on a rooftop, Ning Feng froze for a moment at the world announcement before breaking into a broad smile.
In fact, if not for the world announcement that had suddenly appeared, he would have thought he was in the real Hokage World, a transmigrator rather than a player.
Compared with transmigrators, however, players clearly had far more ways to grow stronger.
Anyone who played online games knew that Large-Scale Instance Missions, daily missions, and the like always offered incredibly generous rewards!
What was more, he was already ahead of many players. He could use this opportunity to increase his strength even faster and dominate the entire Shinobi World!
As Ning Feng pondered this, Uchiha Itachi hurriedly said beside him, "Feng, Shisui and I will head to the east and west sides of Konoha right now to stop the Kirigakure Ninja there. Go to Sister Kushina immediately and protect her, understood?!"
"Sister Kushina Uzumaki should still be with our mother and the Third Hokage's wife right now!"
With that, Uchiha Itachi put on his Anbu mask, while Shisui Uchiha beside him also put on a face covering and vanished without a trace.
Ning Feng nodded slightly at those words.
Even if Itachi and Shisui had said nothing, he would still have protected these people and used the opportunity to rack up their favorability.
It was worth mentioning that, in the original story, Uchiha Mikoto, Kushina Uzumaki, and the others often spent time together and were on very good terms.
By now, however, Ning Feng had also realized something. It seemed that native NPCs such as Itachi and Shisui probably knew nothing about players triggering Large-Scale Instance Missions and the like.
The game system existed independently of the entire Hokage World, which was why it issued dungeon missions and the like from time to time.
To the native NPCs, these players were not players at all, but friends, relatives, and so on.
Whoosh!
His figure flashed as Ning Feng moved at tremendous speed toward the coordinates given in the world announcement.
Had any players been there, they would have been astonished to discover that Ning Feng ran two or three times faster than ordinary players. His speed was simply staggering.
Of course, without Shisui's instruction that night, Ning Feng would never have achieved such running speed.
Suddenly, in the darkness, the powerful perception of Ning Feng's scarlet Sharingan immediately picked up numerous Kirigakure Chunin and Jonin attacking under cover of night in one corner of Konohagakure.
Many of Konoha's Chunin and Jonin had already engaged them in combat, their weapons clashing.
Although he did not know how Konoha's protective barrier had failed, Ning Feng could no longer spare much attention for that, and his pace quickened considerably.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Protect Kushina Uzumaki!"
Just then, at the other end of Konohagakure, several players with passable-looking equipment rushed out at the head of a dense mass of Konohagakure players, heading straight toward the coordinates. Clearly, they all wanted to use this opportunity to earn plenty of Copy Points.
Ning Feng noticed that the players in the lead were actually from the Hyuga Clan. One of them, called [Hyuga Qintian], had even activated his Byakugan and reached level 9!
"Looks like there are some talented players too!"
Ning Feng grinned. This was his first time seeing a player who had awakened the Byakugan.
As Ning Feng studied [Hyuga Qintian], the latter also noticed Ning Feng with his Byakugan.
But compared with Ning Feng's mild surprise, the player [Hyuga Qintian] was utterly shaken.
Through his Byakugan, the player [Hyuga Qintian] could clearly sense that Ning Feng possessed a terrifying amount of chakra, far beyond the level of genin chakra!
While the players sized one another up and silently competed, a series of piercing whistles suddenly rang out. Several well-equipped Kirigakure players who had just teleported in were already attacking at tremendous speed.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Tornado!"
One of the Kirigakure players formed hand seals at extraordinary speed, summoning a raging torrent despite the absence of water and sending it crashing down on the hundred-odd players before him.
Clearly, this Kirigakure player was exceptionally confident in his strength. Otherwise, he would never have tried to take on a hundred opponents alone.
"Holy shit! That's strong!"
"What the fuck?! He summoned that much water out of nowhere?!"
Many of the Konohagakure players had not even reacted before the torrent swept them straight back to the respawn point, vanishing without a trace in streaks of white light.
As that Kirigakure player drew first blood, the other Kirigakure players' fighting spirit instantly flared, and they all formed hand seals to unleash their own Water Release Ninjutsu.
Unfortunately, just as they formed hand seals in unison, a cold wind suddenly swept past. Before the horrified eyes of dozens of Kirigakure players, a player leaped into the night air, forming hand seals so quickly that his movements were a blur!
That player was none other than Ning Feng.
Most astonishing of all, while everyone else charged in battle formations and fought head-on, Ning Feng plunged straight into the midst of the Kirigakure players, as though appearing out of nowhere!
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
As he rapidly formed hand seals, a searing burst of flame immediately spewed from Ning Feng's mouth.
The flame was initially small, only the size of a fist, but in an instant it swelled to the size of a house, engulfing dozens of Kirigakure players before him!
