Konoha Village.
Hatake Residence.
"Mr. Feng, thank you so much…"
"I can't believe you even took the time to teach me how to use the Mangekyō Sharingan…"
Standing outside the residence, Kakashi, still wearing his mask, expressed his gratitude with a sincere expression.
Just moments ago, Ning Feng had guided him in using Kamui with his Mangekyō Sharingan, repeatedly pulling objects such as trees and Rasenshuriken into the space–time dimension.
Of course, Kakashi had no idea that his Mangekyō Sharingan was connected to Uchiha Obito's dimension.
Nor did he know that Ning Feng's actions were simply meant to send Obito a warning.
Instead, Kakashi believed that Ning Feng had genuinely come to teach him how to use the Mangekyō Sharingan, so he was deeply grateful.
"There's no need to thank me so much. It's just something I should do."
"I'll come by more often in the future."
After saying this, Ning Feng chatted casually with Kakashi and the others for a while.
Then his figure flashed—
And he disappeared instantly.
Almost the moment he left, a crisp system notification sounded in his ears.
"Congratulations! You have altered the original Naruto storyline.
Storyline change rate: 30%!"
"You have been awarded an additional 5,000,000 dungeon points! Please claim your reward!"
The sudden notification stunned Ning Feng for a moment before he smiled with delight.
He hadn't expected that this action would also change the storyline enough to earn rewards.
But thinking about it carefully, it made sense.
After what he had just done, Obito would have to think twice before planning anything again.
Many tragic events in the future might never happen.
So the system awarding him such a large number of points was perfectly reasonable.
Taking a deep breath, Ning Feng glanced at his total.
Over 7 million dungeon points.
He immediately began considering what he should exchange them for.
But just as he was thinking—
Three figures suddenly descended in front of him.
They were members of the Ino–Shika–Chō alliance.
The way the three of them looked at Ning Feng was filled with caution.
Especially when their eyes landed on his Mangekyō Sharingan, they seemed a little uneasy.
As members of Konoha's great clans, they were confident that when the three clans fought together—with Mind Transfer Technique, Shadow Possession Technique, and the immense power of the Akimichi clan—almost no opponent could withstand them.
Yet standing before Ning Feng…
They suddenly felt incredibly small.
As if all their techniques were nothing more than childish tricks.
"Do you need something?"
A faint, sinister gleam flashed through Ning Feng's Mangekyō Sharingan.
He didn't have any direct conflicts with the Ino–Shika–Chō alliance.
But as the Uchiha clan rapidly rose in power, it was inevitable that these clans might eventually attempt something against them.
In the original story, although it wasn't shown explicitly, the rapid decline of the Senju clan after founding Konoha could hardly be guaranteed to have nothing to do with political maneuvering by other clans.
Moreover, the Ino–Shika–Chō alliance was known for its tight unity, always acting together.
"Respected Young Master Uchiha Feng," the Akimichi clan member leading the group said respectfully while bowing.
"Lord Hiruzen wishes to invite you to the Sarutobi residence for a small gathering."
Hearing this, Ning Feng's eyes flickered slightly, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.
In truth, he had already guessed that Hiruzen Sarutobi would come looking for him after the Nine-Tails incident.
What he didn't expect was that it would happen so quickly.
"The Sarutobi residence?"
Ning Feng nodded lightly and signaled for them to lead the way.
Although he suspected that Hiruzen's invitation might be something like a banquet trap, Ning Feng was confident that with his strength, Hiruzen had no way of keeping him there.
Compared to Danzō, Hiruzen might be more calculating, but he was far less likely to resort to completely ruthless methods.
After all, in the original story, Danzō had even poisoned the air just to steal Shisui's eye.
That level of cruelty was on another level.
Soon, the three clans led the way.
The Sarutobi residence was also located in the central district of Konoha, not far from the Uchiha compound.
From a distance, Ning Feng could already see the building.
Compared to the luxurious Uchiha compound, the Sarutobi residence looked extremely simple—even slightly worn.
"As expected of Hiruzen…"
Ning Feng narrowed his eyes.
It was obvious that Hiruzen was good at winning people's hearts.
By deliberately living in a modest residence, he created the image of a humble leader.
No wonder he had once gained the favor of Hashirama and Tobirama.
Just as Ning Feng was thinking about this, Hiruzen—who seemed to have sensed his arrival—spoke from inside the house.
"Ah, Young Master Feng has arrived, hasn't he?"
"Please, let him come in at once."
Hearing this, the members of the three clans gestured politely for Ning Feng to enter.
Ning Feng didn't hesitate and walked inside.
Inside the hall, Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi had already prepared a table filled with fresh sushi and green tea.
He sat there smiling warmly as he waited for Ning Feng.
Soon, Ning Feng took his seat.
The members of the Ino–Shika–Chō clans also sat down after Hiruzen's invitation.
The atmosphere in the hall seemed lively and friendly.
But Ning Feng could still feel a faint cold tension beneath the surface.
"Lord Hiruzen," Ning Feng said directly.
"If you have something to say, let's get straight to the point."
"I still have many matters to handle with the Uchiha clan and Amegakure."
He wanted to see what Hiruzen was truly planning.
As expected, Hiruzen paused for a moment before speaking slowly.
"Young Master Feng… always so straightforward."
"The reason I invited you here today is quite simple."
"I hope that for the sake of Konoha Village, you can agree to do something for us."
"Oh?"
Ning Feng raised an eyebrow.
"You must have noticed during the Night of the Nine-Tails that many ninja villages are watching Konoha closely."
"Although Uzumaki Kushina carries the Nine-Tails within her, she cannot fully control it as a true Jinchūriki."
"So I intend to propose something to Minato…"
Hiruzen paused before revealing his real intention.
"I hope that you, Young Master Feng, will become the next Nine-Tails Jinchūriki."
