“I won't use an A-rank Ninjutsu like Great Waterfall Technique. I'll just use a D-rank Ninjutsu.”
Ninjutsu are categorized into S, A, B, C, D, and E ranks. The rank doesn't indicate power; higher ranks mean greater learning difficulty and harder to master, while lower ranks are easier to master. The Three Body Technique taught at the Ninja Academy is an E-rank Ninjutsu.
Feng An pondered. If he, a Genin who had just graduated from the Ninja Academy, mastered an A-rank Ninjutsu without a teacher, he would either be treated as a genius or be captured and dissected.
Inuzuka Kiba, seeing Feng An still looking worried, couldn't help but ask, “Aren't you ready yet, Feng An?”
Feng An glanced at Kiba and said, “I'm ready. Come on.”
Hinata stopped her Shuriken training and stepped aside, silently thinking, “Go, Feng An…”
“Aren't you going to make the first move? Then I will.”
Inuzuka Kiba immediately crouched on the ground: “Four Legs Technique.”
His Chakra flow gathered in his limbs, and his originally slender limbs instantly became thick and strong.
It looked like an enhancement-type Ninjutsu.
Feng An still didn't move. This was his first real combat, and his estimation of Kiba's abilities relied entirely on Kiba's performance in naruto in his previous life.
Now, he was curious to experience it firsthand.
“Feng An, why aren't you moving?”
Inuzuka Kiba looked at him, puzzled, from his crouched position.
Feng An felt confused: “You haven't even attacked yet, so how should I move?”
“I didn't expect you to be so arrogant,” Inuzuka Kiba said coldly.
After Kiba's body was enhanced by the Four Legs Technique, his speed and strength would double. Kiba thought that if he attacked first, Feng An wouldn't have time to react.
But Feng An's nonchalant attitude made him very angry.
Swish!
Using both hands and feet, he suddenly launched an attack. The four shallow pits at his original position showed the significant enhancement the Four Legs Technique provided to his body.
Not only was its power great, but its speed was also extremely fast, appearing in front of Feng An in an instant.
Inuzuka Kiba swiped a claw at Feng An.
At this moment, Feng An remained motionless. In Kiba's eyes, he was simply too fast for Feng An to react.
“It's over.”
“Feng An…” Hinata couldn't bear to watch and quickly covered her eyes.
At such close range, he couldn't possibly dodge!
Bang!
Bang bang!
What?!
Inuzuka Kiba's pupils constricted as he stared in disbelief at the wooden stake he had just struck down.
“Substitution Jutsu!”
His nose suddenly twitched, and he immediately clawed behind him.
Feng An, who was behind him, quickly dodged, sighing.
“Trying to sneak attack a sensory Ninja, even under the illusion of the Substitution Jutsu, is still a bit difficult.”
Inuzuka Kiba crouched on the ground, staring at Feng An.
If it weren't for his keen sense of smell, he would have already lost.
“It seems I was arrogant.”
“Fang Over Fang!”
Inuzuka Kiba suddenly spun rapidly in the air, like a small tornado, heading towards Feng An.
Feng An immediately leaped backward.
While airborne, he quickly formed the six hand seals: Snake, Ram, Monkey, Boar, Horse, and Tiger.
Over the years, he had already mastered the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, able to release it with just the last seal—the Tiger seal.
However, in a sparring match, there was no need to reveal his true strength.
“Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.”
Puff—
A spherical flame with a diameter of five meters suddenly appeared, spewing from his mouth and attacking the pursuing Inuzuka Kiba.
“Oh no, I only used a tiny bit of Chakra.”
After intentionally controlling his Chakra, he didn't expect the area of effect to still be so wide. This was the drawback of having Chatunla; it was difficult to gauge exactly how much a “tiny bit” was.
Inuzuka Kiba was still spinning rapidly when he saw such a large fireball, his eyes nearly popping out.
Didn't he say he only knew very basic Ninjutsu?!
How was he supposed to take that head-on? He didn't want to become a roasted pig.
Kiba immediately stopped spinning forcibly and suddenly jumped to the side.
Even so, when the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique hit the ground, small bursts of flame still splashed onto him.
He quickly dodged further away, rolling on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames.
Seeing this, Feng An and Hinata rushed over to help.
After a few kicks, the flames on Inuzuka Kiba were completely put out.
He let out a long breath.
Fortunately, Inuzuka Kiba was fine, otherwise he would have broken the law of Fire Release not killing people.
Inuzuka Kiba, staggering up from the ground, clutched his burnt, revealing pink boxers with a dog's head printed on them, and shouted with a black face, “Didn't you say you only knew the most basic Ninjutsu?!”
Faced with Inuzuka Kiba's questioning, Feng An awkwardly rubbed his nose.
He couldn't help it. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't remember any useful D-rank Ninjutsu he knew. Although the Great Fireball Technique was a C-rank Ninjutsu, it was still considered a basic Fire Release.
“But how come I never saw you use this move during sparring at the Ninja Academy? Did you just learn it?”
Inuzuka Kiba stared at him with an incredulous expression.
At the Ninja Academy, Feng An slept every day and slacked off during sparring. Most of his peers regarded him as a loser who was only slightly stronger than Naruto, because Naruto failed the Ninja qualification exam while Feng An passed.
For such a loser to suddenly use such a powerful Ninjutsu, anyone would feel a huge disparity.
However, if he knew that Feng An had actually mastered the Great Fireball Technique when he first learned to walk, he would probably start questioning his life directly.
“No, I also studied it for a long time and only barely mastered it just before graduation.”
Feng An calmly lied to the emotionally wounded boy.
“So that's it. I almost thought you were some hateful genius. It really is the result of hard work! It seems I'm not working hard enough!”
My wish is to become Hokage. I can lose in any area, but I cannot lose in effort!
Inuzuka Kiba clenched his fists. After seeing Feng An's strength, he resolved to double his training efforts.
“Feng An, you will be my second rival!”
Feng An asked, puzzled, “Why second?”
“My first rival is him.”
Inuzuka Kiba cast his gaze towards the person silently feeding insects in the corner.
Feng An followed his gaze. It was a man dressed out of place from everyone else, with a high collar covering his mouth and sunglasses on his face, a Konoha trendsetter with an unreadable expression—Shino Aburame.
It was Shino, indeed.
He hadn't seen Shino from the beginning and thought Shino hadn't come to train.
“His name is Shino Aburame. Don't let his lack of presence fool you; he's very strong. If you don't use Fire Release, he'll definitely give you a headache.”
Feng An nodded.
Feng An strongly agreed with this. In his memories from his previous life, Shino Aburame was a man who had never been defeated.
Besides that, there was another point he strongly agreed with: Shino was an insect user. It didn't seem like much in the two-dimensional world, but his current feeling was no different from reality. Just imagining Shino having insects hidden under his clothes and even inside his body made his scalp tingle.
Subsequently, the others also carried out their own training, some feeding insects, others feeding dogs.
The only one training seriously was Hinata.
Feng An specifically found a good spot to sit nearby, watching Hinata.
Whenever Hinata activated her Byakugan, she would notice Feng An sitting behind her, watching her, which made her so nervous that she wouldn't even activate her Byakugan anymore.
As long as I can't see him, he's not looking at me!
Holding onto this self-hypnosis, Hinata finally entered a state of training... As the four trained until noon, a familiar figure slowly walked over.
Feng An and the others greeted in unison, “Teacher Kurenai.”
Kurenai Yuhi nodded, “I'm back, and I took on a mission for you all.”
“That's great!”
Inuzuka Kiba and the other two were very happy. They had long wanted to shine on missions.
Enjoy it while you can; you won't be smiling when you see the mission details.
Feng An looked at them with sympathy.
