Chapter 19

The country of fire.

Border.

In a small town, in a hotel room, Danzo was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, with a spread out map of the whole country of fire in front of him.

Recently, he has already fought against Mist ninjas several times, he gave a fierce counterattack to any Mist ninja who came to test Konoha's waters, and he was merciless against them, leaving none alive.

"Going with this situation, war will break out sooner or later, Sarutobi, your attitude is still too soft...At this time, pre-emptive strike is the most appropriate course of action."

Danzo muttered slowly while looking at the map. .

Sarutobi's behavior seemed too conservative in his opinion, as he only retaliated against the attacks of other villages, but in this current situation, the best way was to initiate a war and defeat a shinobi village first.

With Konoha's current strength, it is definitely not difficult for it to concentrate all it's forces to defeat a shinobi village, but if they attacked the other villages simultaneously, it will become a long-term battle, which would be much more troublesome.

From Danzo's point of view, Sarutobi is nothing more than just scared to bear the infamy of actively starting the war, but this is the only way for them to unify the whole Ninja world; sacrifices must be made..

Whoosh!

Just as he was studying the map carefully, thinking about how to deal with future enemies, a Root ninja quietly appeared in his room.

Danzo did not look at the other party and still focused on the map, and said faintly:

"How's the situation in the village?"

Although he is at the border of the country of fire, he still has Root ninjas stationed and was monitoring the village. They report to him at regular intervals.

The Root ninja said in an emotionless voice: "Lord Hokage's attitude has not changed. It was still to let Danzo-sama be stationed here... Orochimaru returned to the village and brought back information from Sand village. But the specific information is unknown..."

The Root ninja will state the most recent information from the most important to the least.

Danzo listened calmly.

After speaking for nearly half an hour, the root ninja continued:

"...Kakashi's elder brother, Hatake Feng, killed a Mist Chunin scout, he's suspected to have more talent and strength than Kakashi. "

"Huh?"

Danzo paused, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It's not how important this matter is. Compared with the beforehand informations, this information is almost of no importance, but the problem is, the others are within his expectation, only this one is unexpected.

"Have you confirmed this?"

"Yes."

The Root ninja replied in a deep voice.

Danzo narrowed his eyes slightly, and said thoughtfully: "Does the eldest son of Sakumo have such high talent and was just hiding it..."

The death of Feng and Kakashi's father Hatake Sakumo, does indeed have a direct connection with him, but his original intention was not the death of him.

It was due to an accident that Hatake Sakumo gave up his mission to save his companion, but the attitude of the villagers was indeed manipulated by him, including the companion who was saved by Sakumo. He also manipulated him to guilt him and blame it all on himself.

His reason for this was to suppress Sakumo's prestige.

Because at that time, Sakumo was sure to be the successor of the title of Fourth Hokage that Sarutobi had decided on. He couldn't sit back and watch as Sakumo succeed in becoming the next Hokage.

What he didn't expect was that Sakumo gave up on himself and finally he committed suicide... This was not his intention. After all, no matter how arrogant Sakumo was with him and even if they were at odds with each other, he was still one of Konoha's powerful experts.

If he were made the Fourth Hokage, Sakumo could be a very useful tool for him.

He pondered for a moment.

Danzo said to the root ninja: "...continue."

Although Feng's affairs reminded him of some problems, he is now at the border of the country of fire, and he still has to deal with the Mist Village. Regarding Feng's matters, he had to wait after he returned to the village.

The root ninja nodded and continued to report.

...

Konoha.

Two months have passed since the Mist scout was killed.

During these two months, Feng still went to school normally, but because of the previous scene of him defeating Hizashi, all of the students looked at him with a little more awe, especially for Kurenai and the other girls. Admiration is really hard to extricate.

After defeating Hizashi, Feng's strength is probably already at the level of a chunin, even if it is not as good as Kakashi's, he was definitely not too far behind.

With such admiration, these precocious girls all began to do all sorts of 'excessive' things, which made Feng a little helpless, even though they were young they were also a bit extreme.

Two months.

The results of his practice are also extremely remarkable.

Because of his ability to accelerate time, his actual age is just over nine years old, but his physical age is gradually approaching eleven years old. Both his physical skills and chakra quantity have steadily improved, from just reaching the standard of a regular chunin ninja to one at the peak stage.

In addition, although his Hatake swordsmanship failed to reach the second stage, the first two gates of Hachimon had already been opened!

Although the first two gates of Hachimon didn't have that much explosive power, it was still a real improvement of strength for Feng.

Hu! Hu!

In an empty space among the woods, Feng was constantly doing his exercises.

"The third door is still a bit..."

After a few violent heaves of breath, Feng stopped practicing, feeling that the shackles of the third gate in his body were still not loose enough for him to break.

For Hachimon, the third door is a qualitative leap.

The function of the first gate is to exert one hundred percent of the body's strength. The improvement is not bad but it was not large enough. The effect of the second gate is more related to the body's recovery, squeezing the body's energy to quickly recover physical fatigue. The third gate however, is the real bottleneck.

"If I can break the third shackle, then after opening the third gate along with the Hatake swordsmanship and the chakra sword, then even if I don't use time acceleration, I should have the strength of a special Jonin."

Feng muttered in his heart.

After training the Hachimon, his strength would be difficult to measure with just a simple level standard, because with his speed, if the enemy can't react in time, it would be difficult to even resist one of his attacks.

Only the Uchiha clan who have their Sharingan and the Hyuga clan's Byakugan would barely have the qualification to resist him, but even then, they are only barely qualified! Because seeing clearly does not mean you can keep up!
