Naruto Time Control

Chapter 55

In the border of Land of Fire

Orochimaru led nearly a hundred ninjas, including Feng to a small town.

The whole town was already in ruins with some places still burning, and corpses are littered in the ground

"Reporting to Lord Orochimaru, the traces are from a battle that occured three days ago!"

A scout that explored the ruined town hurriedly reported to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru's pair of snake eyes revealed a dangerous glint and glanced roughly at the town, and said hoarsely: "Since the traces are already from three days ago, those Rock ninjas must be no longer here, but we'll encounter them sooner or later."

"Reorganize the group, we'll camp and rest here!"

Orochimaru gave his instructions.

They're already in the border of the Land of Fire, a battle may happen anytime. After a whole day of journey, everyone finally arrived. Although they're still in a state of vigilance, if they continue to probe the entire region, it would consume their energy and if they were suddenly ambushed by the Hidden Rock Village, it would be very dangerous.

"Understood!"

The scout responded.

After they entered the town, they cleaned up the corpses and extinguished the fires on the buildings and carried out a simple campsite.

Inside the central tent of the campsite, Orochimaru was standing and looked at the map that's placed in a stone platform in front of him with a contemplative look.

After a while he suddenly said:

"Where do you think the Hidden Rock Village advance force would be right now?"

Inside the tent, there were only Feng and his master Orochimaru. Feng was also standing beside him and looking at the map. Hearing Orochimaru's question, he thought for a bit and said: "Since they are the advance force and are using guerilla warfare against us, they wouldn't be around the area of the Land of Grass."

Orochimaru grinned and said: "Good, I think so too. They wouldn't dare go deep inside the Land of Fire, so their only options are these two locations."

After talking.

Orochimaru simply placed two pieces on the map and muttered: "Go and call the third and fourth squads over."

Feng nodded and left.

When he returned, he was followed by eight people.

The third and fourth squad captains are two Upper Jonins, one from the Hyuga Clan and the other from the Uchiha Clan. They are elites especially when it comes to perception and sensory abilities.

"Hyuga Hisao, take your team and investigate this location..."

"Uchiha Kohaku, you and your team, go here..."

Orochimaru gave his instructions to the two teams, and said in a deep voice: "If you encounter a single Rock ninja, you can go and try to obtain some information, however don't act rashly!"

"Roger!"

The captains responded respectfully.

Towards Orochimaru, who made a name for himself because all of all of his great achievements, even the ninjas from the two great families of Uchiha and Hyuga have high respect towards him.

Orochimaru watched the two teams leave, then turned to look at Feng with a faint smile, and said: "Feng, you can go back. Take a good rest and be prepared, we might encounter enemies anytime soon, so you must be ready to fight."

Feng saluted and left the central tent.

After returning to his tent, Feng did not rest immediately instead, after eating some food, he started training.

He never stopped training even when they were on their way here, because the Fourth Gate, under his continuous training is already on the verge of being opened.

For him who now has the ability to reverse time, once he opened the Fourth Gate, he could use the power of it in an unlimited amount of time.

And adding the fact that he could even accelerate for four times, how fast would his Fourth Gate be?

Even Feng couldn't predict it himself, but he estimates that at that speed, he could probably cast Morning Peacock. The bottomline is, even Kage class shinobis would be hard pressed on keeping up with just his speed alone!

With his speed and time reversal ability, the amount of people who could threaten him could only be counted in one hand.

And the number of ninjas he has the ability to kill also increased in a bigger range.

Whether Jonins or Upper Jonins, it would be incredibly difficult for them to survive his assault while in the quadruple speed state. It would even be impossible for those at the Quasi-Kage levels to escape from being targeted by him!

"Huu..."

After taking a deep breath, Feng began to do the most basic push-ups in his tent while wearing his weights.

As far as Hachimon is concerned, to open the 'Gates' one needs to do the most basic of exercises. There is no shortcut. You need to rely on your own accumulation. Tempering your body to be stronger to loosen the 'Gates' inside you.

Because of his ability to revert time, Feng was not concerned about fatigue. He would just activate his ability and he'll be at peak strength once again in no time.

So he carried his heaviest weights along the way, and did some arduous practice during his rest period. This was his fourth session so far.

'Three hundred and thirty one'

'Three hundred thirty two'

'Three hundred thirty three'

Feng did his push-ups quickly. After reaching the three hundred mark, his speed began to significantly slow down. His movements began to stiffen and his arms began to tremble slightly.

'Four hundred and eighty six'

'Four hundred and eighty seven'

Feng kept counting in his heart, he persisted even with the increasing soreness in his arms, this could also temper his will.

In fact, for him, after unlocking his ability to reverse time, even if he stopped cultivating Hachimon, he should still have the strength to face the strongest opponents, however, after careful deliberation, he dropped the idea.

Besides, Hachimon is really suitable for him.

On one hand, Hachimon not only strengthened the users body, it also strengthens someone's will during training, because of the sheer fatigue and dullness of training, it would hone the individuals will and sharpen his mind.

In addition.

The most critical factor is, during the activation of Hachimon, he would be immune to most genjutsus!

The essence of an illusion is to disrupt the chakra flow in someone's body. Once it happened, the opponent's mental state would be in chaos, making one fall into a genjutsu.

As for the Hachimon. Starting from the First Gate, the individual's chakra would flow towards his brain, however, after opening the Second Gate, the person's chakra would be in a state of rampage!

So using genjutsu to someone who's activated the Hachimon would be nigh impossible, because even the user would not be capable of controlling his already chaotic chakra much less others wanting to disrupt it.

And dealing with genjutsu also happened to be Feng's weakness.

Feng's mastery of genjutsu has always been just average. If a Kage class expert like Orochimaru uses genjutsu on him, it would probably be hard for him to resist.

But because of his practice on Hachimon. The more 'gates' he opened would also mean that his chakra fluctuations would be more chaotic making it harder to use genjutsu against him!

After opening the Fifth Gate, he would be almost immune to most genjutsus.

As for the Eight Gate...

Even the Six Paths Uchiha Madara didn't dare use Genjutsu against Guy with his Eight Gate opened. With Madara's combat experience, he knew that using genjutsu against Guy would be meaningless.

To disrupt the chakra flow of someone that activated the "Gate of Death", even with the power of Six Paths and the Rinnegan, he couldn't do it.
