Chapter 68

In Feng's estimation, once he opened the Fifth Gate of Limit, his strength would be comparable to that of a top Kage.

So that means, after the Sixth Gate of View, coupled with his time acceleration ability, he wouldn't have any fears facing even the strongest class of Kage's!

Feng had read some novels before that stated the power above the Kages are Super Kage and Power of Six Paths level.

When Uchiha Obito aka Pain, during the Fourth Ninja War became the Sage of the Six Paths, his overall strength clearly surpassed that of a Kage in all aspects. Even top Kage class existences like the Third Tsuchikage Onoki or Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi would die with just a flick of his hand even in their peak forms.

Uchiha Madara and Hashirama Senju are the same.

Both of them could fight the Kage's of all the Great Villages combined single handedly.

Obviously, this kind of strength is already above the power level of a Kage. So there was no problem in calling them Super Kage's.

Judging his strength based on the number of Gate's he's opened so far. Feng estimated that after successfully opening the SIxth Gate of View, he should have no opponent within the Kage class.

Nonetheless.

Every class still has the difference in strengths and weaknesses, even in Super Kage's. Let's take Uchiha Madara for example, even with his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan along with the Kyubi and Susanoo combination, he was still defeated by Hashirama Senju.

Feng judged that even if he could open Hachimon up to the Sixth Gate and use the Quadruple Speed State at the same time, he still wouldn't be able to defeat Uchiha Madara, much less Hashirama Senju.

But it would be completely different if he could successfully practice Sage Mode.

I need to advance further.

He still didn't know how strong he would be if he could open the Seventh Gate of Wonder, but Feng isn't even sure if he could successfully open the Seventh Gate.

After all, training Hachimon not only requires talent and good physique, but also the willpower of the individual. Otherwise if it was that easy to master Hachimon, then what other meaning would the other Jutsus have?

"Actually, it's already enough for me to open Hachimon up to the Sixth Gate of View."

Feng said lightly.

As long as he achieves the power of a Super Kage, then we can safely say that the whole plot of the whole Naruto World would be smooth.

Destroying Uchiha Madara's plan would just be a breeze. He wouldn't have to worry about Edo Tensei. He could obtain the Rinnegan easily and collect all the Tailed Beast and be their Jinjuriki, which would also give him the power of SIx Paths.

After thinking for a while.

Opening as many gates as possible in Hachimon is still the best option for him to take for now.

"Opening the Fifth Gate of Limit would be another hurdle."

Feng said helplessly. Even with his strong willpower, practicing Hachimon up to the Fourth Gate already took its toll on him. After all, even though he can use time acceleration to speed up his training, he still experiences everything!

Moreover, his talent in Hachimon isn't comparable to Rock Lee, who, at the age of thirteen can already open up to the Fifth Gate. For him, opening the Fifth Gate would take him at least half or an entire year!

This is why he wanted to immediately breakthrough and improve his Chakra quality.

Once he successfully trained in Sage Mode, then in the future, if he became the Kyubi's Jinjuriki, then like Naruto Uzumaki, if Feng could combine Sage Mode along with Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, then he would even be stronger than when he opened the remaining Gates.

Feng decided that he would first open the Fifth Gate of Limit.

Right after, Feng closed his eyes and focused his mind into the illusory clock.

He can see that the next number is shrouded in thick gray fog.

"What would the third ability be..."

Feng murmured in his heart.

Time acceleration and time reversal, just these two abilities have already given him tremendous benefits. If he can unlock another time related ability, then even if he doesn't use any jutsus, he would still be unstoppable in the Ninja World.

...

Hidden Rock Village.

Tsuchikage Office.

The current Tsuchikage, Onoki was standing in front of his desk while staring at a ninja who's kneeling in front of him, and said infuritadely: "Failed? Such a thorough plan of ours failed? And it failed all because of a kid?!"

"L-Lord Tsuchikage..."

The ninja who's kneeling in front of Onoki has cold sweat running in his forehead while trembling slightly as he said nervously: "Even with Master Hong nor Neru... none of us knew that this would be the final outcome, we were completely in the dark about such an existence within Konoha."

A trace of madness flashed across the eyes of Onoki.

Just for this ambush, they've expended an incredible amount of manpower and time just for this to be successful and catch Konoha by surprise and gain a huge advantage against them before the beginning of the war, but all of their efforts… Not only were they not defeated, the result of their plan completely backfired against them and now they are in the disadvantageous position with major losses in their entire military power.

But this time, he wouldn't have anyone to blame, Hong and Neru are both the highest in command during that mission and both of them were killed, and those who escaped all sustained severe injuries.

"Do you have the information about the kid?"

"Yes..."

The ninja said as he passed something to Onoki.

Onoki read the document: "Hatake Feng… Hatake... so he's Sakumo's son."

During the Second Ninja World War, Hidden Rock suffered against Hatake Sakumo, and he was a huge factor that their village lost that war.

When he heard the news of Sakumo's death a few years ago. He was rejoicing happily for a long time because Konoha lost an incredibly strong commander. As a result, they were originally confident about this incoming Third Ninja War, but who would have thought that another "Hatake" would show up during this critical time!

And because of this Hatake Feng, their advance force suffered tremendous losses!

Is it their fate that their entire village would be single handedly suppressed by someone surnamed Hatake?

At this moment, a ninja who was also currently sitting in the Tsuchikage Office stood up and said solemnly at Onoki: "Our advance force was almost completely annihilated... Lord Tsuchikage, what's our next course of action?"

He's the most trusted confidant of the Third Tsuchikage. His status is second only to that of the Tsuchikage and both he and Onoki were the ones who planned the ambush against Konoha's advance force.

Onoki flew up, showing a contemplative look in the air. After floating for a while, he raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Since our advance force is defeated. If we continued our fight with Konoha, it might be further detrimental for us, Hidden Cloud might also take this opportunity to attack us..."

Onoki paused, then continued: "However... now that HIdden Sand has declared a full scale war against Konoha. It would really be a waste of great opportunity for us to not attack Konoha."

"But it's still not the time."

A gleam of light flashed in Ohnoki's eyes, and said, "Even if we don't act, Konoha will continue to be on guard against us and wouldn't be able to place all their troops in the frontlines against Hidden Sand, so even if we don't attack, that itself would give Konoha immense pressure when fighting against Hidden Sand."

Onoki continued: "If Hidden Sand emerges victorious, then we'll use that time to attack Konoha, but if they fail, then we'll just continue to not do anything."
