"What!?"
"That's wonderful!"
Upon hearing the report, Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato sprang to his feet, his eyes shining with excitement.
Ever since the end of the Third Great Ninja War, Kirigakure had sent numerous spy ninjas to lurk around Konoha, constantly looking for opportunities to stir up trouble.
The ANBU had launched several operations against them, all without success. Yet now, someone had actually eliminated them so quickly!
"Who did it? One of our ANBU elites?"
Minato asked eagerly.
"N-No…"
The ANBU ninja hesitated for a moment before answering slowly.
"It was an Uchiha clansman who looks to be only four or five years old."
To be honest, even this ANBU ninja felt deeply frustrated. So many elite ANBU had been tracking the Mist spies—yet in the end, the one who found and killed them was a kid who still looked barely out of diapers.
"What!?"
Minato was utterly shocked and was about to say something more when a knock sounded at the door.
"Come in."
Moments later, under the astonished gazes of Minato and the ANBU ninja, a small child, looking no more than four or five years old, walked in slowly with a bright smile on his face.
If not for the scroll in his hands, marked with the standard cipher symbols of Kirigakure spies, they would have thought this child was here to play a prank.
"Hokage-sama, I have successfully slain three Mist Village spies. This is the scroll they left behind—please take a look."
The child was none other than Ning Feng.
As he spoke, he handed the scroll to Namikaze Minato.
Even now, Minato found it hard to believe that someone this young had really killed three Mist spies. After a brief daze, he carefully accepted the scroll.
Sure enough, it bore Kirigakure's secret codes. Though they couldn't be deciphered immediately, that was only a matter of time.
"I never imagined you were this capable, little one. We honestly don't even know how to reward you properly."
Minato reached out, intending to pat Ning Feng on the head—but Ning Feng flashed aside, dodging smoothly.
Don't be fooled by his four-year-old body—his mental age was well over twenty. He had no desire to be treated like a child.
But just as Ning Feng was thinking this, he suddenly felt his body lift into the air, followed by being pulled into an extremely warm embrace.
That overwhelming softness… and the powerful visual impact that came with it…
"Wow! Whose child is this? He's so cute—so kawaii!"
A clear, oriole-like voice rang out.
A red-haired beauty appeared before Ning Feng.
Her facial features were exquisitely refined, especially her eyes, which sparkled like stars and radiated a unique feminine charm.
"Kushina… this isn't just any cute child."
Minato said helplessly, black lines forming on his forehead.
"He just helped us kill several Mist Village spies."
"Kushina!?"
Ning Feng froze for a moment.
Then he suddenly felt that being a bit younger actually had its advantages.
His gaze drifted downward, and—quite shamelessly—he even reached out and gave a squeeze.
So big… (╯▽╰ ) so fragrant~~
Only then did Kushina realize that the little guy in her arms wasn't entirely well-behaved. Just as she was about to say something, she met Ning Feng's pure, innocent gaze.
That single look caused Kushina's maternal instincts to explode. She hugged him even tighter.
"Congratulations! Uzumaki Kushina's favorability toward you has increased by 10 points! Now at 60 points!"
"Congratulations! Uzumaki Kushina's favorability toward you has increased by 10 points! Now at 70 points!"
...
Perhaps because Kushina was only a few months away from giving birth, that faint milky fragrance made Ning Feng utterly intoxicated.
He couldn't help but think—
Being a kid really does come with perks.
After quite a bit of fussing around, Ning Feng was finally set down.
Minato, standing nearby, couldn't shake the feeling that this kid had some ulterior motives—but there was nothing he could really say.
"You've made a great contribution by eliminating those Mist spies. I don't know what would be most appropriate to reward you with—so take this."
After a brief silence, Minato handed Ning Feng a ninjutsu scroll.
Ning Feng's eyes widened the moment he opened it.
Inside were systematic records of multiple Lightning Release techniques, complete with hand seals and usage methods.
He already had Fire Release and Water Release techniques, but Lightning Release was precisely what he lacked.
Without hesitation, Ning Feng chose Use.
"Congratulations! You have learned [Lightning Release: Lightning Clone]!"
"Congratulations! You have learned [Lightning Release: Lightning Ball]!"
"Congratulations! You have learned [Lightning Release: Furious Lightning Tiger]!"
...
Several Lightning Release techniques were instantly engraved into Ning Feng's mind, giving him an entirely new understanding of ninjutsu.
"Thank you, Hokage-sama!"
Ning Feng grinned, revealing a row of cute little white teeth—looking completely harmless.
The ANBU ninja beside them watched with nothing but envy.
When he was four, he hadn't even enrolled in the Ninja Academy yet—
And this kid had already killed several Mist spies.
Truly, comparison is the thief of joy.
After receiving his reward, Ning Feng politely greeted Kushina once more before leaving the Hokage Residence.
As for what happened afterward, that was no longer his concern.
All he needed to do was provide the intelligence trail of the Mist spies—that was enough.
The moment Ning Feng left, Minato stared at his departing figure, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
From this child, he seemed to glimpse the future—
Not just the future of the Uchiha Clan,
but the future of Konoha itself.
Stepping out of the Hokage Residence, Ning Feng eagerly opened his status panel.
