Chapter 67

Land of Fire.

Konoha border camp.

At the center tent of the camp, Orochimaru, Feng, and several high ranking members of the advance force are gathered.

After waiting for a while, a small snake slithered towards Orochimaru.

Hiss!

The little snake opened its mouth and spit out a scroll.

After opening the scroll, Orochimaru gave it a brief glance and then read it out loud.

The content inside was instructions to bring the grievously wounded and injured ninjas back to the village, while the others were to stay at the border to monitor the movements of the Hidden Rock Village forces.

Lastly, the matter about Feng's accomplishment.

"Special Jonin, although still not fully fledged, you can still be considered as one from now on… and the very first to be one at a tender age of ten hehe."

After reading, Orochimaru turned to look at Feng beside him.

The several Jonin inside the tent looked at each other with obvious ripples in their eyes. 'A ten year old Jonin!' but there was no dissatisfaction and a trace of doubt when they heard it.

Just based on the strength and merits he earned in their previous battle. Even if he was directly promoted to be a Jonin, no one would be opposed and the advance force would even fully support it.

Feng smiled slightly and said, "It's just a little promotion since we're currently at war."

Orochimaru retracted his gaze, and after thinking for a while: "Our next issue would be about the wounded. Kame, your team would be responsible for bringing them back to the village."

There were 4 grievously wounded ninjas and 21 who received light injuries, some of the lightly injured just needed some slight medical attention and would be back to their optimal condition, so a small team is sufficient to bring the others back to the village.

"Roger."

Kame said as he immediately left.

The others that were left inside further discussed their future plans on what would happen next in the Land of Grass and left right after.

...

After returning to his tent.

Feng sat cross-legged and took out his Chakra Sword.

A crack can clearly be seen on the blade, extending from the center up to the handle. It just shows how severely damaged his sword is currently.

Holding his Chakra Sword, Feng closed his eyes as the illusory clock gradually appeared in his mind. After a moment, he stretched out his hand and pressed it against the damaged part of the sword.

A few seconds passed.

No changes have appeared and there was still a crack in the sword.

"Sure enough, it really doesn't work."

Feng opened his eyes and sighed.

After acquiring the information from his master about the whereabouts of the Sword of Kusanagi, Feng didn't immediately go and search for it, instead, he wanted to experiment if his Time Reversal ability could fix his Chakra Sword.

Regrettably, no matter how much and what method he tried, he still couldn't apply the effects of his time abilities except towards himself, whether it was the time reversal or time acceleration.

Feng always knew that the White Fang Chakra Sword would be much better in Kakashi's possession, but since he had a higher level of mastery in the Hatake Swordsmanship and he really liked his compatibility with the sword, he continued on using it and thought that it wouldn't be easily damaged.

But alas…

This time, the Chakra Sword is so heavily damaged.

"I need to look for an opportunity and look for some blacksmith who could repair it. Once it's repaired, I'll pass it on and let Kakashi inherit it, afterall, it is no longer capable of withstanding my attacks without getting damaged."

Feng said as he kept the Chakra Sword.

Hidden Sand Village is now currently waging war on them and is now at their frontlines, but Hidden Rock Village seems like it wouldn't make any moves for the time being. If that was the case, then he may have an opportunity to look and obtain the Sword of Kusanagi.

The Feng of today, it really wasn't a big deal if he had a weapon or not, based on his overall strength. He can use Chidori even if he doesn't wield any weapon. Even if he fought with his bare fists, he wouldn't fear anyone.

But since he practices the Hatake swordsmanship, a sword would even amplify his strength, making his attacks more concentrated and lethal. His only problem is that, a weapon capable of withstanding his own attacks is not easy to find, if there wasn't any suitable weapon for him, then he wouldn't really mind it, but since he now has news about the Sword of Kusanagi, of course he wouldn't pass up the opportunity to obtain it.

'My chakra volume can finally be compared to that of an Elite Jonin, however it still isn't enough for me to try and practice Sage Mode' Feng thought.

According to his previous estimate, even if his physical body reaches the age of that of a thirteen-year-old, his chakra volume still wouldn't even reach that of a normal Jonin. But after practicing the Cell Activation Technique, his chakra volume increased to another level.

Just based on the amount of his chakra, he now has surpassed 90% of the ninjas in the whole of Ninja World, but even with this being the case, he still wouldn't be able to cast a single Rasenshuriken.

"Well, Rasenshuriken isn't really necessary for me to train in, but because my chakra is still limited, I wouldn't be able to upgrade my Chidori into Raikiri."

Chidori's an A-Class jutsu.

Raikiri is an S-Class jutsu, and it was Feng's next goal after mastering Chidori, so it requires a higher chakra volume and control.

There is no doubt that the strength of Raikiri is way beyond that of Chidori, and it was one of Feng's goals, but upgradiang his Chidori, would not be an easy feat.

'It would be perfect if I can advance my chakra volume by one more level.'

Feng murmured in his heart.

If his chakra volume reaches to that of the levels of a Kage, then not only Raikiri, but he can then also start to practice Sage Mode.

But it's a pity that this is not so easily achievable. Looking at the entire Shinobi world, there are only a handful of people who can raise their chakra volume to the levels of Kage's, even the Great Villages don't have that many.

"Let's do it one step at a time. I estimate that once my physical body reached 16 years old, I would then have a chakra volume comparable to that of the Kage's. But if I really want to break through in the shortest time possible… I would probably need to be a Jinjuriki, or go to Roran to obtain the power of Ryumyaku..."

With his current physique, he still wouldn't be able to become the Kyuubi's Jinjuriki. However, he would have no problems if he became the Jinjuriki of the other eight, but there is always the factor about being able to control them, afterall, the Tailed Beasts are prideful creatures.

This plan of his wouldn't be achievable for the time being as it would be troublesome given the current situation of the entirety of the Ninja World, so Feng chose to cultivate his Chakra normally

The Power of Ryumyaku is also not a great plan either.

Although he has the ability to reverse the flow of time. The concentration of energy released by the Power of Ryumyaku is so large that he might be sent out, hundreds or even thousands of years from the past. Feng wouldn't want to experience that, especially since he might be trapped in that timeline and wouldn't be able to return.

As for other things, such as Orochimaru's cursed seal or Hoshigakure Village's "star" Feng hadn't even thought about using those, as not only would the benefits he would receive from them insignificant, it would also tarnish his own chakra.

It would be much better for him to use the quadruple speed state and practice.

"Right now, my focus should be Hachimon and open as many Gates as possible."
