Chapter 39

"Hahaha… it's fine"

Orochimaru noticed that Feng lowered his head, and wanted to conceal his emotional fluctuations, making him laugh and said: "After seeing your performance during the Chunin examinations, I can see your desire. I just don't know what it is.

"So, can you tell me what it is?"

Feng looked like he's panicking, but in reality he was very calm, because he knew very well that Orochimaru is different from Danzo. His desire for authority is far less than Danzo, he wouldn't mind for his subordinates or even his disciples to have desire and ambition.

In Orochimaru's view, having ambition is an excellent quality, it would mean that such an individual is much more worthy of being cultivated.

Feng hesitated for a few seconds and he looked at Orochimaru as he took a deep breath and said: "...I want more power"

It's completely impossible to conceal himself in front of Orochimaru, so after some thought, he finally said it.

There are different ways to deal with different people. Feng even considered ways to deal with the situation in the past, when he was almost forced to join Root because of Danzo's scheme.

"I think my father died because of his weakness. If he is strong enough, he won't have to give up his mission to save his teammates, but he could have done both!"

Feng clenched his fists, it seemed that he couldn't restrain his agitated emotions.

He was not lying.

This is indeed his inner thoughts.

It's just that his goal is not just to surpass White Fang, but to reach the apex of the Ninja World.

"I see...."

Orochimaru looked at Feng with a smile on his face.

Feng took a breath and calmed down then looked at Orochimaru with a slightly nervous expression.

"You're correct."

Orochimaru stared at Feng with his snake eyes, showing a smile that seemed to be able to see through people's thoughts and bewitch people's hearts, saying: "With enough strength, you can indeed do and deal with anything."

"Although you are still very weak, as long as you continue to follow me and keep moving forward, you will become stronger and stronger. You will inherit the title of White Fang and even surpass it."

Feng showed a confident look and took a deep breath.

"You're very talented and outstanding, I believe it's only a matter of time before you surpass your father."

Orochimaru revealed a gentle smile, completely different from his usual image and said: "Go and continue your practice. If you have any other questions, you can come to me again."

"Yes."

Feng respectfully responded and turned to leave.

After leaving Orochimaru's base, Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

He deliberately lost his emotions in front of Orochimaru, revealing his desire for power, it would also keep him safe at the moment.

As for the future...

He didn't think much about it.

After the war begins, everyone's attention would be focused on that. And he would use that period to increase his strength to the limit.

As long as his strength surpasses Orochimaru, or even Sarutobi Hiruzen," then he would not have any problem dealing with the situation.

"My next goal should be to improve my strength to the Kage level!"

Feng muttered in his heart.

...

Time flies.

Another two months passed.

Finally the students from the academy have graduated, including Uchiha Obito, Might Guy and the others, all of whom passed their graduation exam.

At this moment, in the Hatake household, Kurenai was looking at a silver haired boy sitting in front of her in shock.

"Lord Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannins accepted you as his disciple?!"

After graduating Kurenai noticed that Feng was not placed on a team, so she went here and asked him personally, but now she was told that he became Orochimaru's disciple?!

"Yes."

"And... Teacher doesn't seem to be planning on making a three person team."

Feng nodded and smiled. He knew what Kurenai was thinking. Now that he's Orochimaru's disciple, they won't be placed in the same team.

In fact, Feng also felt helpless. His original plan was that after he graduated he would be placed on a team and perform missions and develop a relationship with his girl teammate and experience the beauty of youth.

But now, the possibility of this from happening disappeared..

After being shocked, Kurenai said with a tinge of regret: "Now there's no way for me to be in the same team as you..."

In normal cases, she can ask for his father to be placed on the same team as Feng, but now that it involves Orochimaru, that would be impossible.

"Shizune also became Lady Tsunade's disciple."

Nohara Rin that stood at the side spoke.

Feng said leisurely: "So that means Lord Jiraiya was the only one who didn't take any disciples."

Nohara Rin smiled cutely and said: "Although Lord Jiraiya didn't. Senior Minato did, it's your brother Kakashi."

Feng smiled, he already expected this then said to Rin "Let me guess... the remaining two should be you and Uchiha Obito."

Nohara Rin looked at Feng in surprise, and said, "Feng have you already seen the list of teams?"

"No."

Feng shook his head and said, "Kakashi told me."

"No I didn't."

Kakashi appeared in the living room and said while saying: "Why should it be like this? A good-for-nothing, and a girl, this team feels more troublesome than my past teams."

...

Rin smiled awkwardly, after hearing Kakashi's statement.

Hearing Kakashi, Feng said to Rin: "Since he thinks you're troublesome, then from now on if he's injured, don't use Medical Ninjutsu on him, just let him take care of himself."

"..."

Hearing Feng's words, Kakashi's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Rin couldn't help but laugh, then turned to Kakashi, "Don't worry, I will work hard on my Medical Ninjutsu so that I don't hold you back."
