Chapter 57

"Huh, finally done..."

After sensing that the shackle of the Fourth Gate was finally undone, Feng finally took a deep breath and laid on the ground while panting heavily.

Now that the Fourth Gate has been finally opened, if he added his quadruple speed state, his combat prowess should now not be any lower than his master, and if you even added his Time reversal ability. Then he would be a more difficult opponent to deal with than Orochimaru!

"Counting all the time that I used my Time Acceleration, my body's age should be around twelve to thirteen years old... Uchiha Itachi obtained his Mangekyou Sharingan when he was twelve."

Feng murmured in his heart.

His apparent age is ten years old, however, his actual age should be around thirteen years old because of his Time Acceleration.

A ten year old with the strength of a Kage, at least he didn't lose face to the people who are "traversers".

After a short rest, Feng left the camp but then came back immediately, he just tested the power of the Fourth Gate.

And as he expected, with the quadruple speed state and the Fourth Gate, he can now fully cast Morning Peacock, being able to use this move can be regarded as having an attack power comparable to a Kage.

After returning, Feng took a meal and began to rest.

...

The next day.

Inside the central tent of the camp.

The two teams that were sent out by Orochimaru to investigate finally returned and immediately reported to him. The team led by Hyuga Hisao was assigned to the northwest, and they discovered a large amount of ninjas moving in the forest..

"Northwest...we'll need to sneak around and flank them from behind..."

After hearing the report from Hisao, Orochimaru thought for a moment, and said: "Take a slight rest, after that, we'll commence the attack!"

"Yes!"

Hisao replied and retreated with his team.

After giving his order, Orochimaru turned his attention to Feng who just walked in from outside and showed a faint smile while saying: "How's your rest last night? I saw what you did yesterday, did you achieve a breakthrough?."

"Teacher's eyesight is really formidable."

Feng responded calmly.

Orochimaru smiled then let out a hoarse laugh and said "Then I'm really looking forward to your next battle. There's a lot from our advance force who are questioning your strength."

Feng also chuckled and said, "Don't worry master, I won't let you down."

After a quarter of an hour.

A small team of four ninjas was left in the camp to be the garrison. The others however are currently following Orochimaru towards the northwest direction and attack the ninjas from Hidden Rock Village.

...

Two days later.

Orochimaru led the Konoha advance troops to a piece of red land.

"Three o'clock up ahead! There are Hidden Rock ninjas!"

Hyuga Hisao was at the forefront and was currently using his Byakugan, so when he discovered the enemy he immediately warned the group.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It seems that they have already discovered us and want to fight in this kind of terrain since they'll have the advantage here."

With the sheer number of their group, it is extremely difficult for them to create an ambush. The most important thing was, they both have sensory type ninjas, hiding from them with their large number is impossible.

Hyuga Hisao asked in a deep voice, "Lord Orochimaru, what's the plan?"

Orochimaru thought and said: "Although they have the terrain advantage, it's only a little bit at most...how many are there?"

"About 80 people." Hyuga Hisao reported.

Orochimaru's eyes flashed coldly and said, "So our numbers are not that different from one another... Prepare for battle, let's show them our strength hahaha!"

As his voice fell, the group drew out their weapons, kunai's, swords exploding tags, all of them were ready for battle.

At the same time.

Under a huge hill, a group of Hidden Rock Village ninjas was stationed here and they were led by a Quasi-Kage shinobi, Hong Daichi.

"Master Hong, the Konoha forces are now advancing!"

"How many are there?"

"About 80 people."

The sensory ninja added: "Their leader's Chakra is very cold, and consistent with our intelligence, it should be one of the three legendary sannins, Orochimaru!"

Hearing this report, Hong Daichi 's expression didn't change, instead, he showed a cold smile and said: "Very well... let's make Konoha suffer a big loss this time!"

When his voice fell. He waved his hand and about seventy elite Hidden Rock ninjas raised their weapons and was ready to fight.

"Something's coming!"

"Seven o'clock!"

The sensory ninja closed his eyes and he immediately noticed something so he let out a loud shout.

As soon as his roar sounded out, he saw a figure heading in their direction, it was none other than Orochimaru!

The moment he was noticed, Orochimaru directly opened his mouth, and hurled a large number of snakes frantically.

'Ten Thousand Snakes Formation!'

"Watch out!"

"Earth Release! Earth wall!"

When the Hidden Rock party saw this, someone immediately yelled and casted and Earth Release jutsu.

Along with the roar, a huge high wall rose and blocked the incoming snakes.

Woosh! Woosh! Woosh!

In the next moment, Konoha ninjas also finally appeared in front, each of them holding their weapons, some even casted Fire Release jutsus and other types of techniques.

However, the Hidden Rock ninjas also reacted quickly, releasing various ninjutsu responses, and rushed over to fight the Konoha forces.

Clang! Clang!

Feng didn't activate Hachimon and just relied on his double speed state, he was in the middle of the fray and was currently observing the situation.

The Hidden Rock's military strength is obviously inferior to Konoha's, not to mention that Konoha also has one of the three legendary sannins with them. Although the leader of Hidden Rock advance force was also a Quasi-Kage shinobi, but even with another Jonin giving him a hand, they barely managed to resist Orochimaru's assault, they wouldn't last long if this keeps up.

But even with this being the case, these guys didn't choose to retreat, instead, face them head-on.

There must be something wrong going on here!

"Trap..."

Feng waved the Chakra Sword in his hand to parry his enemy's attack and his eyes flickered across the battlefield.

At the next moment, the earth burst out and the ground split in half as nearly thirty ninjas jumped up from the ground. Each of them wore the forehead protectors from Hidden Rock Village. They were all elite Hidden Rock ninjas!

"Enemies?!"

"Damn, what the hell are you sensory ninjas doing?! Didn't you notice them beforehand?!"

Seeing this scene, the faces of the ninjas from Konoha couldn't help but change drastically.

At this moment Hyuga Hisao who was in charge of investigating this area couldn't help but be embarrassed. His Byakugan's biggest advantage was its percepcion, and he indeed used it to investigate the whole battlefield, but he didn't expect that their opponents would use Earth Release and hide deep underground to avoid his detection!
