Chapter 62

"The current you, even I am not confident that I could defeat you."

Orochimaru stared at Feng with shining eyes. He never experienced being surpassed by his disciple, but now, it seems that kind of thing was not far from happening.

Hearing Orochimaru, Feng simply smiled and said: "You overestimate me Master, if it wasn't for your help and guidance, I wouldn't be where I am right now, I'm still far behind compared to you."

Orochimaru said that he was not confident in dealing with him, not that he would not win. After all, winning and killing are two different things. If Feng wanted to escape then there's nothing that Orochimaru could do.

Unless he laid down a trap in advance.

Feng responded in a humble way, he really has no way of telling who would win in a fight against him or Orochimaru.

Orochimaru's entire arsenal almost has no weakness, be it in terms of Chakra Quantity, sensory ability, and all other aspects. Not to mention the amount of life-saving techniques he has, it is unrealistic to immediately kill Orochimaru so one can only fall into a war of attrition against him.

In the end, it was either he would run out of Chakra, or Orochimaru would have time to set up a trap for him or seal him. It's not difficult to say that that kind of battle will last for days.

But all in all.

He's now a genuine Kage level powerhouse!

And he was someone more difficult to deal with than Orochimaru!

Once he used his Time Acceleration and Time Reversal ability, even though he is not a hundred percent confident, he can face existences like his Master. As for those Jonins and Upper Jonins, they wouldn't even last a couple blows against him.

"Hmm."

When Orochimaru heard Feng's words he just stared at him for a few seconds, then he tilted his head and said, "It seems like you have an ability to increase the rate of your attacks and it isn't Ninjutsu."

Feng did not show any shocked expressions. With Orochimaru's level, after seeing his movements on the battlefield, it would not be difficult for him to notice the abnormality happening within his body.

Hachimon can indeed increase the users speed, but it wouldn't to the point that the rhythm of his attacks would be like a distorted image.

"So Master really noticed it."

"It's indeed not ninjutsu. It's a Kekkei Genkai, it can increase my speed in all aspects and enter a faster 'rate' state."

Feng admitted frankly.

Him having a Kekkei Genkai was not a big deal, after all every Kage level powerhouse has their own unique secret skills and methods.

Orochimaru was surprised, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes, saying:

"A First Generation Kekkei Genkai?"

Kekkei Genkai like the Hyuga's Byakugan and the Uchiha's Sharingan have been passed from generation to generation. However, Kekkei Genkai like Boil Release or Lava Release are usually rarely seen in some people.

They may also be called as First Generation Kekkei Genkai.

The bloodline of a First Generation may not necessarily be passed on to the next.

At present, the strongest Bloodline was from the Hyuga Clan, because every single member from their Clan can activate their Byakugan. In comparison, not everyone from the Uchiha Clan has awakened their Sharingan. Clans like the Yuki clan for their Ice Release and the Kaguya Clan for Shikotsumyaku have even lower chances.

"Yes."

Feng nodded.

Orochimaru thoughtfully said: "I have no memory of a Kekkei Genkai that can increase a person's rate of attack and be fused with Chakra Nature before. Experimentation is also out of the picture… Could it be a mutation in your Lightning Release?"

"No, that's not it."

Orochimaru's eyes suddenly flashed and said: "Lightning Release should only increase the speed and reaction time of the body. However, your ability also increases the "rate" of your attacks. So it doesn't meet the criteria of Lightning Release..."

After thinking for a moment.

Orochimaru took a breath and there was a hint of heart-palpitating excitement in the depths of his eyes as he stared at Feng and said: "Your Kekkei Genkai changes the flow of time?!"

Looking at the whole ninja world. Among all the different kinds of ninjutsu, Space-Time ninjutsus are the most difficult to master, and although it is named as "Space-Time" it's only related to the "space" part as it doesn't involve changing the flow of time!

Orochimaru used all his power to get this information.

The only vague record in history involving time ninjutsu came from someone from the Uchiha Clan that dated back a hundred years ago.

The information about that event was rather blurry. However, that person relied on his powerful ocular abilities to try and unify the entire Ninja World but ultimately, he failed.

He was stopped by someone from the Senju Clan.

It was during the Warring States period a hundred years ago, even earlier than Uchiha Madara and Hashirama Senju. Therefore, this information is blurred and whether or not this information is real or fabricated by the later generations, we are uncertain.

If it was still months ago, when Feng met Orochimaru, he would probably panic about his situation. But now, he was calm as can be.

He's indeed Orochimaru.

'Just relying on his keen observation alone, and he almost concluded that my ability does not belong to any type of nature change, so the only possibility left for him is, time…'

"Indeed worthy of your fame Master, just a rough observation and you already knew what my ability is..."

Since he can't think of any other excuses, Feng could only speak frankly and said:

"I myself have done some experiments and determined that my Kekkei Genkai doesn't belong to the Five Basic Natures, nor does it belong to Yin-Yang and Space. So it should be a ninth type of Kekkei Genkai."

With his current strength even if he revealed his ability, it really wouldn't matter.

Also.

Space Ninjutsu is already extremely difficult to fight against, what more for Time Ninjutsu that's even more superior to it, unless someone also possesses a time based jutsu, then there wouldn't be anyone capable of fighting against him!

It was an ability that couldn't be countered.

This is the power of time!

"Interesting..."

Although he was almost certain, Orochimaru was still surprised after hearing Feng's confirmation.

He now looks at Feng as if he was looking at a priceless treasure.

His major ambition is to gain eternal life. And for that, his biggest obstacle would be time. Even existences as strong as Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara couldn't escape the clutches of time!

But now.

With Feng's Kekkei Genkai, he may have the opportunity to touch the power of time, and even gain a method in obtaining true immortality!

Feng at this moment has become something beyond all his prior experiments combined. Even if Sarutobi Hiruzen ordered him to kill Feng right this instant, he wouldn't hesitate to disobey that order.

He's even willing to defect from Konoha if they wanted to lay their hands on him!
