"Y-you're from Konoha?"
Konan quickly asked. Toward people from Konoha, she still held a trace of goodwill and gratitude.
After all, ever since the Second Shinobi World War—since they had been wandering the streets—it had always been Jiraiya-sensei who taught them ninjutsu and educated them.
"Jiraiya-sensei… is he doing well?"
Ning Feng naturally knew that once his Sharingan was exposed, his identity as a Konoha ninja would be obvious.
But in order to earn more dungeon points, there was no choice but to stop hiding it.
Hearing Konan's question, Ning Feng smiled and comforted her:
"Jiraiya-sensei is living quite freely in Konoha. Every day he soaks in hot springs and looks at beautiful women."
At those words, Konan couldn't help but laugh softly. Her favorability toward Ning Feng rose again—from 90 points straight to 95 points!
"Jiraiya-sensei is still the same… so lecherous. The moment he sees a pretty kunoichi, he can't move anymore."
Konan smiled brightly. With her already delicate features, she now looked even more adorable.
If someone else were here, they would definitely feel depressed—this was a battlefield, not a place for flirting.
As if suddenly remembering that a brutal battle was still raging, Konan's expression quickly turned solemn. She turned and charged straight toward the Rain ninja.
They had long hated these Rain ninja to the core. Who knew how many Akatsuki members had died at their hands?
If it weren't for the bigger picture, they would have slaughtered these Rain ninja long ago.
Konan had only just left when the Rain Village players noticed Ning Feng's presence. One after another, they rushed over, intent on killing him.
They had personally witnessed how Hanzō the Salamander had been killed by Ning Feng.
No one here was stupid—if they could kill Ning Feng, the dungeon point rewards would be absolutely massive!
"Don't give Uchiha Feng any chance! Everyone, attack together!"
The leading Rain Village player coldly shouted this and was the first to rush toward Ning Feng, even using one of the advanced Three Body Techniques—the Body Flicker Technique.
Ning Feng took a quick look. The lead Rain Village player was actually level 25, and his Body Flicker was quite proficient—clearly an elite player.
Unfortunately, an elite player was still just a slightly stronger ant in Ning Feng's eyes.
Whoosh!
Before the player could reach him, Ning Feng had already hurled a sharp kunai. Using its rapid flight, he instantly appeared behind that elite player.
Before the man could even use the Substitution Technique, Ning Feng's kunai pierced straight through him.
The entire exchange lasted less than a blink of an eye. Many Rain Village players hadn't even reacted yet before their leader had already been brutally killed.
The speed was so fast it left people speechless.
In the next moment, Ning Feng's hands flew through seals. Then his right hand slammed heavily into the ground.
Crack—!
Runic markings instantly spread out in all directions.
"Fire Release: Explosive Flame Formation!"
Ning Feng spoke calmly.
In an instant, explosive tags rapidly appeared beneath the feet of the Rain Village players charging toward him, encircling them at astonishing speed.
The next second—
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Deafening explosions rang out as countless Rain Village players were instantly blown into fragments by the detonations.
Even Rain ninja who were too slow to dodge in the distance were caught in the blast and taken down together!
If anyone were watching closely, they would be shocked to discover that the range of this Explosive Flame Formation far exceeded that of the Great Fireball Jutsu, and its power was on a completely different level.
This technique was no joke—it was one of Hanzō the Salamander's signature techniques.
During the Second Shinobi World War, Hanzō had nearly killed Tsunade, Jiraiya, and the others with this very technique. If Jiraiya hadn't desperately used a defensive ninjutsu, they would have already become corpses.
Later, in Hanzō's battle against Akatsuki, he had also used this technique to severely injure Nagato's leg.
That alone showed just how terrifying Explosive Flame Formation truly was!
A rapid series of pleasant system notifications rang in Ning Feng's ears. He discovered that just from this single Explosive Flame Formation, more than three hundred players had died.
He had instantly achieved a three-hundred-man kill streak!
It was worth noting that this Explosive Flame Formation was one of the ninjutsu scrolls Ning Feng had obtained after killing Hanzō earlier.
While recovering, he had already used all the ninjutsu scrolls he obtained—
Including this one.
"Explosive Flame Formation!? Isn't that Lord Hanzō's technique!? He learned it this fast!?"
In the far distance, several members of the Hidden Rain Village's special assassination unit—Rain ANBU—were all shocked.
The blast radius of that Explosive Flame Formation had nearly swallowed them as well!
Only now did these ANBU members finally recognize Ning Feng as an enormous threat.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several Rain ANBU instantly turned into streaks of light, charging straight toward Ning Feng, intending to eliminate this major threat first.
Unfortunately for them, Ning Feng—already possessing the two-tomoe Sharingan—had long noticed their presence.
With a flash of movement, he easily avoided the joint attack of two Rain ANBU.
In the next instant, two flashes passed by—
—and the two Rain ANBU collapsed directly at Ning Feng's feet.
It turned out that at the very moment Ning Feng clashed with them, he had already left behind the markings of his space-time ninjutsu.
"Uchi—no, Number 9… that kid's strength has improved again."
Outside the battlefield, Uchiha Itachi—who had not yet made a move but was ready to intervene at any moment—paused and couldn't help but speak.
"Yeah. He's much stronger than when we fought Salamander Tianlei before."
Kakashi nodded in agreement, shock surging in his heart.
It hasn't even been that long… and he's already grown this much stronger!?
Given enough time, what kind of monster will this kid become…?
Unknowingly, because Ning Feng had killed the enemy commander Hanzō and wiped out a large number of Rain Village players, the Rain Village's fierce offensive was forcibly broken.
As for the Rain Village players, they failed to make any waves at all and quickly retreated along with the Rain ninja.
Seeing that they had actually achieved ultimate victory, the three leaders of Akatsuki were overjoyed.
Very soon, however, all of them turned their grateful gazes toward Ning Feng.
Especially Yahiko, Akatsuki's leader—his face was filled with admiration.
"Kid, what's your name?"
"If it weren't for you this time, Akatsuki probably wouldn't have survived at all!"
