Somewhere in Konoha.
"You're late again Obito."
Kakashi stood on a stone pile with his hands folded in front of him as he saw Uchiha Obito rushing over wearing his goggles.
Uchiha Obito ran all the way but now that he's a full fledged ninja he wasn't tired even after he ran. Then he looked at Kakashi and said: "I helped an old lady along the way..."
"That's what you say all the time."
Kakashi stared at Obito as if saying "you can't fool me" and sighed: "Can you at least change to a more believable reason next time?"
"What do you mean by a more believable reason!"
Uchiha Obito glared at Kakashi with dissatisfaction and said: "I really met..."
Seeing that both Obito and Kakashi were about to fight, Rin who was just at the side said, "Alright, alright, both of you stop arguing. Obito isn't late, but why is Sensei not here yet?"
"Something must've happened."
Hearing Lin, Kakashi replied as he looked at their surroundings. This was the first time their teacher was late.
Almost as soon as Kakashi's voice fell, a figure silently appeared behind them wearing a Konoha forehead protector with yellow hair, it was none other than Namikaze Minato.
"Sorry I'm late everyone, something happened."
"It's okay sensei, I also just arrived..."
Obito said while scratching the back of his head, while Kakashi who's next to him gave him a glare.
Rin looked at Minato and said, "Sensei, what's our mission today?"
"We won't do missions today."
Namikaze Minato looked at them and said in a solemn expression: "We are now currently at war against Hidden Sand Village, so the mission that we're supposed to carry out is terminated. Tomorrow, we'll immediately head for the border..."
Hearing Minato, Uchiha Obito who was shocked at first immediately trembled with excitement and said: "Senei, are we going to the battlefield too?! Great! I can now finally show my abilities!"
"Yes, your ability to be late. The fight would probably be over when you arrive at the battlefield."
Kakashi said as he glanced at Obito.
Obito stiffened as he glared at Kakashi with annoyance and said, "You! Kakashi, you asshole… both you and your brother are really irritating!"
Ever since he joined this team, Kakashi has always been complaining and despising him most of the time. In comparison, he found Feng more tolerable, afterall the only reason he despised Feng was because he was the most popular in his class and almost all the girls wanted to be around him.
"Obito..."
Namikaze Minato turned to look at Obito and said in a deep voice: "When we arrive at the frontlines, no matter the situation, you must always obey the orders and... Absolutely! Absolutely! not act without authorization!"
He doesn't have to worry about both Rin and Kakashi, but what he was worried about is Obito whose nature is being too impulsive. If it was an ordinary mission then he wouldn't mind, but not this time, since it was a war against another great village!
"I...I understand Sensei."
After being seriously warned by Namikaze Minato, Obito dropped his head in embarrassment.
Rin took a deep breath and asked Minato, "Since we are going to the border I wonder if it is the same for Feng?"
"Feng..."
Namikaze Minato heard Rin's words, showing a rather ambiguous expression, and said: "Hmmm... How should I say it..."
Seeing Namikaze Minato, Kakashi suddenly showed a solemn look, and couldn't help but ask: "Sensei, did something happen to my brother?"
Obito also raised his head.
His eyes turned a little serious.
Although he despises Feng, he still didn't want to hear any bad news relating to him, because he wanted to beat both Feng and Kakashi in terms of strength and achievements, and be the future Hokage of the village.
"Hmm... well."
Namikaze Minato looked at his three students and after a little thought, said: "Feng's name is now included on the top of the list of experts the Hidden Rock Village is cautious against."
"What?!"
Rin showed a hint of surprise, but she couldn't fully comprehend what their teacher just said.
Kakashi was also a little startled, he could vaguely make some guesses but he didn't dare believe it and asked their teacher, "What did he do?!"
"I don't know the full details." Namikaze Minato shook his head and continued: "...but it was confirmed that in a recent battle against the Hidden Rock Village's advance force, Feng killed more than thirty Hidden Rock ninjas… and that includes a large number of Jonin class ninjas!"
When Minato finished speaking, the group fell into silence.
Even Kakashi, who already had guesses in his mind couldn't help but be shocked. He didn't expect his brother to be capable of doing such an amazing feat in the battlefield!
Rin was a little sluggish.
Killing more than thirty ninjas from Hidden Rock Village, and among them there were even a large number of Jonins... This sentence kept echoing in her mind for a while. She couldn't believe it.
Konoha currently has more than 20,000 ninjas and the vast majority of them are between the Genin and Chunin ranks. However the number of Jonin ninjas currently in the village does not exceed 300!
It can be said that every single Jonin in a village is an extremely outstanding existence, they are the very backbone that holds the very foundation of their respective villages!
However, this kind of existences was defeated and killed by Feng!.
Incredible!
To what extent has Feng's strength already reached?!
"No, that's impossible!!"
"Sensei, perhaps you've heard wrongly..."
Obito's eyes were full of incredulity, this kind of thing is too hard to believe, it feels like a fantasy for him!
Namikaze Minato shook his head and said: "This information was confirmed. That child has inherited the talent of your father White Fang very well... No, just talent alone is not enough for this kind of accomplishment, he must have paid a great price to achieve his current strength, an effort beyond the imagination of an ordinary person."
"Yes."
Kakashi took a deep breath.
As Feng's younger brother, he knows how hard and heavy his elder brothers training was. Practicing from the time he wakes up till midnight, even his time of sleep is limited.
Normal people can't possibly do that kind of crazy level of training. Even he himself tried it, but just after two days of barely persisting, his energy and state of mind have dropped rapidly, he wouldn't be able to continue that kind of training for a long time.
He remembered what Feng once said.
'If you want to be more powerful than others, you have to work harder than others.'
It's just that he still couldn't calm down knowing that Feng now has the capacity to directly kill a Jonin.
He hasn't even practiced Chidori yet.
And the cells in his body are still not fully active yet.
There should still be a slight gap between his current strength and that of a Jonin.
"The gap between us suddenly became too far..."
Kakashi shook his head helplessly.
How could he possibly catch up to him!
Hearing Namikaze Minato's confirmation, Uchiha Obito looked a little lost. At this time, while he was still being stubborn and immature, Feng was already on the frontlines risking his life and killing Jonins.
The gap between them was so far that it gave him an unreal feeling. Just a few months ago, that guy was still his classmate, how did it suddenly become like this?
But he was Uchiha Obito after all. After a moment of daze, he came back to his senses and took a breath as he gradually regained his confident look and tightly clenched his fist.
"I'll still surpass you!"
He was a member of the Uchiha Clan, and as long as he opens his Sharingan, his strength will soar instantly.
'I'll let you take all the spotlight first.'
'Sooner or later not only will I catch up to you. I'll even become the Hokage!'
