Chapter 21

"To be able to create a B-level jutsu at this age. You deserve to be the son of White Fang. You have really inherited your father's talent."

Danzo sat not far away and spoke to Feng, despite his words of praise, the tone of his voice seemed very calm and plain.

Neither he nor Sarutobi Hiruzen doubted whether Feng's statement that he created a B-level jutsu as there is no need for him to fabricate it, because it could be proven at once.

Feng looked at Danzo, and said: "Master Danzo overpraises me."

"It seems that you are even better than I expected."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Feng and couldn't help but sigh, then he slowly said: "Although it is a bit sudden for someone who has not yet graduated, I have a mission to give you."

Mission?

Feng was slightly startled.

If he was asked to join Danzo's organization, then he probably wouldn't use the term 'mission.'

Without waiting for Feng's response, Sarutobi said in a deep voice: "The mission entrusted to you is to apply for an early graduation... and to take the Chunin exam that will be held in five days."

"Chunin exam?"

Feng showed a hint of surprise.

Needless to say, after graduating, since there was a mission given to him, it must be done in the class of a Genin ninja. But after graduating, he would immediately take the Chunin exam, what kind of mission is this?!

"I'll explain the situation to you in a bit. You should be able to understand why."

Sarutobi stood up, walked out from behind his desk, and said as he walked: "A delegation of Cloud and Mist village will be Arriving in Konoha the day after tomorrow, they will also participate in the Chunin exam that will be held five days later, so this Chunin exam would not only be to evaluate outstanding ninjas, but it would also be a declaration of war towards Cloud and Mist Village!"

The information revealed by Sarutobi surprised Feng.

The current situation in the Ninja World should be getting more and more turbulent. Next year, the third Ninja World War will officially break out. Under this situation, both Cloud and Mist Village even sent a delegation of people to Konoha to participate in the Chunin examination, it should be for demonstrations and negotiations.

No wonder Sarutobi gave him such a mission after he thought about it carefully.

Since this was a Chunin exam with the purpose of demonstrations and negotiations, it must be dealt with with the most serious of attitude, as it would be impossible to randomly choose some of the participants.

Feng, who quickly figured it out said to Sarutobi:

"I understand, Lord Hokage."

"Well, go and prepare yourself."

Sarutobi nodded and signaled Feng to leave

Feng left after saluting at Sarutoiri.

Seeing Feng leave, Danzo turned to Sarutobi and said slowly: "He's better than I thought ... After the Chunin exam, he will be handed over to me for training, Sarutobi."

Sarutobi shook his head and said: "Never mention this matter again, Danzo."

Danzo frowned, but he didn't intend to give in. Instead, he stood up, stared at Sarutobi and said in a solemn voice: "I didn't object when Kakashi was handled over to Minato, but there must be a ninja hidden in the darkness and shouldering it... entrusting Feng to me is the most suitable choice, you should be able to understand this!"

"Let Feng shoulder the darkness..."

Sarutobi murmured, frowning slightly.

It is undeniable that Danzo's words do have a certain truth. Konoha now has him as a Hokage and was standing in the light while Danzo was the one hidden in the darkness. It was also one of the reasons why Konoha can develop to such a prosperous level today. This is why he has always turned a blind eye on many of Danzo's atrocities.

As the Hokage and standing at the top of the Ninja world, Sarutobi is very clear that when there is light, there will also be dark, darkness will not disappear. If Minato succeeded in becoming the Hokage, it is indeed necessary for someone to walk in the shadows and assist him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a while, returned to his seat, and said:

"I still need to carefully think about it.."

"..."

Danzo calmed down.

Sarutobi's attitude was completely within his expectation.

As long as it was not a complete refusal but a consideration, it just means that Sarutobi's attitude was wavering. Afterwards, he does not need to be overly forceful. As long as he suggests some side details to Sarutobi, then it would not be difficult for him to succeed in obtaining Feng.

...

Feng, who left the Hokage office, sighed helplessly.

"In the end, I still can't graduate normally."

However, it was way better than being thrown into Root and being trained to be one of Danzo's puppets. He can accept this kind of condition, after all it doesn't matter to him now if he graduates early or normally.

'It's just that after I make this mission I wouldn't be low profile anymore.' Sarutobi's intention was for him to fully display his capabilities during the Chunin exam to quickly eliminate the Ninjas of both Cloud and Mist village.'

In the meantime.

No one was aware of the meeting that was held in the Hokage office a while ago. but Feng, who knows Danzo's character so clearly that it may even surpass Danzo himself, is almost 90% sure that Danzo has already got his sights on him.

"He really is the ultimate shit-stick welder in Naruto..."

Feng couldn't help sighing.

Starting from the Second Ninja War, traces of Danzo's machinations were almost seen everywhere in the entire Ninja World. First he conspired with Hanzo of the salamander to kill Yahiko, that directly formed the "Akatsuki Organization", then he manipulated everyone in the village that caused White Fang to commit suicide, his secret interaction with Orochimaru… and there are many more.

Now that his talent and strength is exposed, Danzo would demand or even coerce him to be under his wing. However if this guy dies earlier, yes the war may still break out in the future, but at the very least peace would be maintained for a long time.

Feng sighed.

He wanted to train until he achieves the strength of a Kage but clearly that's never gonna happen, because starting tomorrow his low-key, relaxed and harmonious school life in the academy would be all over

…

The next day.

Feng submitted his early graduation application to the Academy.

The Ninja Academy, which was supervised by the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, approved Feng's application as soon as he saw it, and immediately planned to conduct an early graduation assessment that same afternoon.

In addition to the normal basic body skills and written examinations, the assessment also includes a practical evaluation that involves actual combat. That is to survive an assault from a Chunin level ninja.

For Feng, who already has the ability to easily kill Chunin level ninjas, he felt no pressure. Even without relying to the double speed state, he can still easily pass this assessment.

Finally.

Feng passed the assessment with perfect scores in all categories!
