Chapter 65

Even though they are not the ones at the battlefield, with their experience they know how dangerous that kind situation is. Being ambushed by 30 elite ninjas is not a great position to be in.

Especially Danzo.

His organization Root, only has about 60 elites at most, and they are still raising more. Currently, his organization could only mobilize two units of this caliber.

Among the major families present, the ones capable of fighting his men are only the Uchiha and Hyuga Clans, the other families would be defeated if they faced them..

Not to mention these families, even the majority of small ninja villages would not be capable of creating such a team of elites.

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was frowning slightly.

'This kind of situation, I am afraid that Might Dai should have activated his Hachimon up to the Final Gate to reverse the tides. However, once he activates the Final Gate he would undoubtedly die once it wears out. Even though he brought down more than half of the enemies with him and only eleven from our side died... Although it's a victory, it's not a big one.' After all, Dai is not just a simple Upper Jonin ninja. He was a Jonin capable of having the strength of a Kage!

"The ambush placed us in huge trouble, and casualties piled up one after another. However, at the critical moment, Hatake Feng stepped up and used some kind of self-created Thunder Release Forbidden Technique and severely injured and killed most of the Hidden Rock elites. He killed more than 30 elites during this moment which made the ambush of Hidden Rock completely fail…"

After speaking up to this part.

The room became quiet.

Even Jiraiya who always had a carefree attitude showed a trace of shock at this moment.

Danzo on the other hand, who was previously calm, looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"..."

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen himself showed a surprised expression.

He was looking at the report in his hands as he continued to read in amazement. He was so astonished when he saw the total number of the slain Ninjas from Hidden Rock.

Thirty-three!

This is the total number of ninjas that died in Feng's hands!

Nine of which are Jonin's which even included Upper Jonins such as "Hong" and "Neru", who have made a name for themselves throughout the Ninja World!

Total silence.

Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly lowered the scroll in his hand and turned to look at the ANBU who handed it over, and said, "...did this information really come from our advance force?"

"Yes."

The ANBU Ninja said solemnly: "The scroll is personally sent by one of Lord Orochimaru's contract beasts.

Then... this should be true!

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath. Orochimaru's contract beasts came directly from Ryuchi Cave, it would be impossible to fake or impersonate the creatures that originate from that place, and it would also make no sense to waste his energy just to give them false information.

So it wasn't because Might Dai activated Hachimon up to the Final Gate, but Hatake Feng who used some kind of forbidden technique to reverse the outcome of this war!

Unbelievable!

Incredible!

"...White Fang's kid."

Uchiha Fugaku sat on one side with his arms folded in front of him as he took a deep breath to break the silence in the room.

He has a slight impression of Feng's name. After all, he's heard a lot about the kid recently throughout the village as a 'genius'. But that's just gossip from people around.

After all, their Uchiha Clan never lacked geniuses.

If they had someone like Feng, a kid who hasn't even reached puberty, even if he bears the title of being a genius. He would still not be worthy to bear the position of being the next patriarch in a major family like the Uchiha.

But now, it's different.

If the information they received is indeed true. Then Feng, who's still a kid could now be considered as the new "Konoha White Fang"!

Ninjas of such caliber, even if they are from the Uchiha Clan they can't just simply ignore them.

"...Unbelievable, isn't he just a kid?"

Hyuga Hiashi who sat next to Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but take a breath and spoke, with a hint of shock in his voice.

Creating his own Forbidden Technique!

Killing thirty-three elites with nine at the ranks of Jonin!

Even if he was assisted by the other Konoha ninjas, it was still an amazing battle record!

Because this battle alone could make his name well-known throughout the entirety of the NInja World. His Father Hatake Sakumo, who was hailed a hero back then became famous because of his battle achievements!

But how old is Feng?!

He's just ten years old!

Danzo retracted his gaze from Sarutobi Hiruzen as a gleam of light flashed deep in his eyes.

Unexpected!

Truly unexpected!

Who would have thought that Feng would have such strength at this age? If he knew that beforehand, he would do everything in his power to get Feng in his organization!

Such caliber of a ninja, if he was trained properly, then he would be a completely powerful tool for him, and he could do a lot of things if such a ninja is on his side!

What a pity…

Previously, he didn't pay much attention towards Feng. At the end Feng became Orochimaru's disciple.

At that time, if he had taken a tougher attitude and used other methods, then he could've obtained Feng, But now, It was too late.

"If I could take advantage of the war situation, hmm… it would be tricky to deal with Orochimaru's, but if I used Sarutobi..."

Danzo closed his eyes to prevent others from knowing what he was currently thinking.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was also pondering at the moment.

Eventually, he raised his head and looked at the ANBU ninja and said, "Pass my order to promote Hatake Feng in the ranks of Special Jonin directly under Orochimaru."

With Feng's battle record and strength, he was indeed qualified to be promoted to Jonin. However, since he was still a child, he would need supervision and someone to show him the ropes.

Feng should still not be familiar with different aspects.

So the most suitable choice is to promote him to Special Jonin directly under Orochimaru.

"Affirmative."

The ANBU responded and silently disappeared into the meeting room.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Jiraiya, the family Patriarchs and the other elites in the room. Seeing that everyone was still a bit in shock of the previous report, he paused for a moment and said: "Okay, Let's continue where we left off."

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen, the patriarchs woke up from their daze expressions and took a deep breath as they forcefully suppressed the shock in their hearts and continued their previous discussion.
