Chapter 18

Hokage Office.

The ANBU who had brought Feng over did not enter, but his figure flashed and disappeared at the door. Feng was not surprised by this, and he stepped inside.

As soon as he walked into the office, he saw a person near the desk sorting out documents, Sarutobi Hiruzen was sitting at his desk, while Kakashi stood in front of him.

Kakashi didn't look up when Feng came in, but just looked down at his toes, as if this turn of events have nothing to do with him.

"..."

Feng glanced at Kakashi, walked to the desk, and looked at Sarutobi.

Although he now has the strength of a Jonin, Sarutobi may not be as good as him in terms of speed, but he can still feel the pressure coming from him. After all, the Sarutobi right now is a Hokage at his peak!

Whether it is in chakra, ninjutsu, taijutsu or even just years of experience, they are all at the pinnacle of the Kage level, which can be said to stand at the apex of today's ninja world!

Even the third Raikage, a monster that even fought with 10,000 shinobis all alone, the Sarutobi Hiruzen at this moment also has his variety of forbidden techniques and secret skills including the reanimation jutsu that he still can't fight against.

"Don't be nervous, I asked you to come here to ask you something."

Sarutobi addressed Feng kindly, and said: "Last night, the Mist scout near the village, are you the one who killed him?"

"... Yes."

Since it has already been exposed, instead of making meaningless lies, he might as well just admit it. Anyway, his strength is now sufficient enough to attract Sarutobi's attention.

As long as he gets his attention, he can also have enough protection. After all, in Konoha the only threat to him is Danzo, and as long as Sarutobi pays attention to him, Danzo won't dare to do anything blatantly.

Hearing Feng's admission, even though Sarutobi already knew the truth, his expression still showed a hint of shock.

After all, it was a Mist Chunin scout!

Feng at this age has the strength to kill a chunin scout. His talent may be even higher than Kakashi!

A genius beyond Kakashi!

"Tell me about the specifics."

Sarutobi calmed his thoughts and spoke to Feng.

Feng briefly stated the events of that night, except for him using his time acceleration ability.

"You defeated a Mist scout in terms of speed?!"

After hearing Feng's statement, Sarutobi said in amazement.

A ninja who can be a scout is either good at speed or perception, but even if he's not good at perception, his speed should not, but Feng actually surpassed his opponent in terms of speed, so in that very short span of time he killed his enemy, this is undoubtedly amazing.

You should know that Feng at this moment is only nine years old!

"Yes."

Feng nodded and said:. "I have average talent in terms of ninjutsu and chakra, but the motor nerve in my body seem to differ from ordinary people, so it was very easy for me to practice father's swordsmanship"

Sarutobi's gaze wandered back and forth between Feng and Kakashi. It seems that Feng was more like White Fang when he was in his youth than Kakashi!

After a brief exclamation, Sarutobi took a breath and asked Feng: "Since your strength has always been stronger than Kakashi, why have you stayed in Ninja School? There is nothing more for you to learn and help you there."

"...I don't think it's a good thing to be too dazzling."

Feng responded with a look at Kakashi, and said: "Being way too aggressive is naïve. We ninjas are always in danger. It would be safer to to be more low-key."

This response is basically Feng's own thoughts. He was not lying, but it also shows his fear of some high-level Konoha ninjas such as Sarutobi and Danzo.

"Mhm..."

When Sarutobi heard Feng's answer, his eyes couldn't help but show a hint of approval, and said: "Although you are only a year older than Kakashi, you are much more mature than him. "

At this age, he can get rid of being 'childish and competitive', and possess a stable and mature mentality. No matter what his strength is, at least Feng's mentally was better than Kakashi.

Sarutobi thought of Hatake Sakumo, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Unexpectedly, the two children he left behind both had such high level of talents, and one was even better than the other... Sakumo would be very pleased over there.

"In your case, you are completely qualified to graduate from school." Sarutobi returned to his senses and looked at Feng.

Feng thought about it: "It's only half a year away from normal graduation, I still need to be assigned to my classes after and it would be very troublesome to transfer to class after graduation."

"Well, that's true."

Sarutobi nodded slightly. If Feng graduates now, it will be more troublesome to assign him into the last class of students, because the placements have already been done, and the classes he was on only have half a year left for them to graduate.

After learning of Feng's talent Sarutobi wanted him to graduate early, to become an official ninja, and participate in the formal trainings.

After hesitating for a while.

Sarutobi made a decision.

"Since you don't want to graduate early, then I'll respect your decision and allow you to graduate with your class normally."

Hearing Sarutobi's words, Feng saluted.

"Thank you, Lord Hokage.

"Sakumo gave birth to two excellent children..."

After Sarutobi sighed again, he smiled kindly at Feng and said: "In that case, you can go back first."

Feng nodded and left. He went out and disappeared.

Kakashi remained in place.

When Feng left, Sarutobi took a sip of his tea, looked at Kakashi, and said: "I didn't expect your brother to be only a year older than you but he can already think about circumstances like an adult, Kakashi, you should learn more from him."

If Kakashi can have Feng's maturity, then he won't have the trouble of arranging Kakashi's team, and specially handed this problem to Minato.

"My brother is too enduring sometimes."

Kakashi couldn't help but vomit blood when he heard Sarutobi's words, and said: "...So many mocking voices but he just regarded them as nothing."

"That's the difference between you two."

Sarutobi shook his head, he admired Feng more and more in his heart, and said: "Although he has not graduated yet, he already possess the qualities of an excellent ninja. Being a ninja is..."

Listening to the "teachings" of Sarutobi, the corners of Kakashi's mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes seemed to be spitting.

I haven't heard anyone praise Feng's calmness before.

So strength is the key!

Kakashi felt that this should be the correct conclusion.

...

Regarding Feng's matter, Sarutobi ordered not to spread it, and sealed the news that Feng was the one that killed the Mist scout.

Kakashi's capability of being a genius is already on the enemy's bingo book. If Feng was also exposed, then it will also add additional dangers. For the real geniuses like Feng and Kakashi, Sarutobi is naturally more protective of them.

After Feng graduates and becomes an official ninja. Then that would be the best time to show his glory that he was a genius ninja that belonged to Konoha.
