Chapter 40

Feng smiled, stood up, and said: "I'm going out for a bit to buy some materials, anybody want to go with me?"

"Me, it just so happens that I also need to buy some equipments." Rin said

Although the academy gives out the basic necessities, if you wanted to buy specific materials, then you should purchase them yourself, especially for Rin who came from a family of civilians.

On the other side, Kurenai doesn't need to. Her father, Yuhi Shinku is one of the upper ranking ninjas. All of her equipment and extra materials have already been taken care of, but of course he wouldn't want Rin and Feng to be alone together.

"I also have something to buy."

Feng turned to look at Kakashi and said, "Let's go."

Kakashi said lazily: "I have all that I need."

Feng lifted his chin and said, "I know, but I'm buying tons of stuff, and I need your help to carry some of them."

Now that the graduation is finished, the Third Ninja war will be happening soon.

It would only be a matter of time where the prices would soar dramatically, so it would be better for him to stock up food as soon as possible, not to mention that he needed tons to eat because of his usage of time acceleration every time he practices.

"...what?"

Kakashi's face collapsed.

He looked at Feng with a look of "Can I not, Elder Brother?"

Seeing Kakashi's helpless appearance by being forced by his Elder Brother, Rin and Kurenai couldn't help but smile.

Feng looks like he's already a twelve or thirteen year old kid due to his usage of time acceleration, he's now more than half a head taller than Kakashi even though there's only a year gap between them. It also seems that Kakashi was easily bullied by his big brother.

"Okay stop grumbling, let's go."

Feng patted Kakashi's head and walked out the door.

Kakashi didn't avoid it but showed an unhappy look as he followed them.

The group of four quickly arrived on the market.

Feng called Kakashi for another reason, if he went out with both of the girls by himself, it would look strange. If they were seen by either Kurenai or Rin's father, although he could fight it out with them, it's not a question if he should fight or not.

Now with Kakashi tagging along, it would be much better.

Quickly.

Feng purchased a batch of supplies and placed them all in four bags with Kakashi carrying two separately. RIn and Kurenai wanted to help Feng, but Feng merely smiled and refused them. Kakasi couldn't help but complain when he saw this.

Just as the group was walking they heard some commotion that attracted their attention.

"Yes, I'm sorry, it won't happen again, please let me do it again..."

Might Dai was standing in front of a Chunin with a panicked expression, as he kept apologizing to him.

However, the Chunin frowned and said, "This is not the first time this happened. Your words are no longer credible. I won't accept you anymore."

"Please..."

Seeing that his plea was useless, Might Dai leaned down towards the other party on the street and said, "I will do better. Please trust me."

The Chunin shook his head and said: "Sorry, go find someone else."

After his voice fell, he left quickly.

"Please don't do this, please give me another chance..."

Might Dai stretched out his hand to try and stop him from leaving, but the Chunin quickly disappeared.

Feng and others happened to pass by and saw this scene.

Kurenai looked at Might Dai and whispered: "Isn't he Guy's father?"

Nohara Rin whispered: "He seems to be in trouble."

They can tell that he should've been kicked out from his team. They don't know how to help him, after all, all of them just graduated.

"..."

Kakashi looked at Dai, and Guy's figure flashed in his mind. He himself took it hard when he was teamed with others, but Might Dai's situation was completely different from his.

Kakashi was confused that even though Might Dai was a genin, and not the best one at that. When Guy entered the academy and proclaimed to be his rival, Dai was confident that his son could defeat him.

But then again.

Even though Guy's talent in taijutsu is indeed staggering. He feels that he was the strongest in taijutsu among all those he has faced. Even if his talent in ninjutsu was miserable, he should have no problems in advancing his ranks.

Just as Kakashi was lost in his thoughts, Feng suddenly walked towards Might Dai, attracting Kurenai and Rin with some bystanders' attention.

"Senior, you seem to be troubled..."

Feng walked to the side of Might Dai and spoke to him.

Might Dai was looking at the direction the Chunin left. Hearing Feng's words, he turned to look and quickly recognized Feng and said, "Oh Feng it's you. You seem to have grown a lot taller the last time I saw you, you're even taller than Guy."

There was a hint of surprise in the words, but his expression was still filled with worry.

Prices are now starting to skyrocket, It's not so easy to make ends meet if he doesn't do missions. However as a genin, it's almost impossible for him to do missions alone. And now that he was kicked out by his team, he doesn't know what to do.

Might Dai sighed as he thought and said: "I made some mistakes during our mission so they kicked me out. I went and apologized and wanted to make it up for them but as you just saw, they don't want anything to do with me. I've made a joke of myself in front of you guys."

Feng looked at Might Dai and thought a little bit: "Senior, you need a team for your missions right? If this is the case, I can help you."

Might Dai looked at Feng with a little surprise, and said: "You just graduated. And forming a team would require at least a Chunin as a leader, but it doesn't seems like any Chunin wouldn't want to be teamed up with someone like me."

Feng shook his head and smiled, and said, "No, my situation is rather special. I'm also not in any team at the moment. So if you don't mind, I'd be more than willing to form a team with you temporarily."

Might Dai's previous guidance on Hachimon tremendously helped Feng in his training, and now that Dai is having difficulties, of course it would be impossible for him to just simply ignore it.

Of course.

The reason why he's doing this is. One, he wanted to return the favor from the other party. The second reason is, with Might Dai around, it would be much safer for him to do missions, to some extent it would be even safer to be around Dai than to be with Orochimaru.

Because currently, Orochimaru has not yet achieved his peak strength, if he fought alone with the Seven Ninja Swordsman of the Mist, the best he could do is escape. It would be impossible for him to kill three and seriously injure the rest.

But Might Dai is capable of doing this!

Of course, Dai might not be as powerful as Guy when they open the Eight Gate, but his strength still surpasses all the current Kage's. Even if they encountered the Third Raikage or Third Tsuchikage, they would still have a high chance of survival.

But still, the probability of such a thing from happening is extremely low.

Under normal circumstances, if Might Dai opens the Seventh Gate, although his strength doesn't reach the levels of a Kage, it would still be at least at the upper class Jonin. With this kind of strength, it would be more than enough to deal with the majority of their future troubles.

When Feng finished speaking.

The bystanders nearby couldn't help but be surprised.

Someone was actually willing to form a team with THE "Might Dai"?!
