"He can already use Ice Release?!"
As the person closest to Feng Bai on the field, Kakashi naturally understood exactly where this chill was coming from.
Knowing that Feng Bai possessed the Ice Release bloodline limit, he immediately increased both the speed and force of his punch.
Crack.
An ice wall appeared out of nowhere, separating Feng Bai and Kakashi.
Damn it.
Unable to pull back his punch in time, Kakashi could only channel chakra into his fist, attempting to shatter the ice wall before him.
...
"You bastard." Kakashi, his right hand badly swollen, glared at Feng Bai with his trademark dead-fish eyes.
"You can't blame me for that. It just means your fist wasn't fast enough or strong enough." Feng Bai whistled nonchalantly, struggling not to burst out laughing.
Ice Release: Glacial Defense Hall.
An Ice Release technique requiring only a single hand seal, capable of creating an ice wall to block attacks.
If this were the adult Kakashi, he should be able to pierce through this ice wall by concentrating lightning-nature chakra in his hand.
Unfortunately, the current Kakashi wasn't that formidable yet, so his swollen fist was entirely within Feng Bai's expectations.
"How did he create that ice wall?" Kurenai Yūhi, who hadn't expected the match to end in such a dramatic fashion, asked Asuma beside her.
"It looks like Feng Bai possesses the legendary bloodline limit. This kid's been hiding quite a lot." Asuma suddenly felt immense pressure. Why were there so many handsome and talented guys gathering around him?
Looks like I need to step up my game too.
"A bloodline limit—doesn't that make him like me?" Obito also started trying to assert his presence.
"You... whether you can even awaken your Sharingan is still uncertain." Anko spared no effort in crushing Obito's spirits.
"Hey, Anko, you're going too far!" Obito waved his fists, expressing his dissatisfaction.
In any case, this "battle" ultimately ended with Feng Bai's victory.
When Danzō returned home, he was actually smiling and praised Feng Bai several times.
Seeing Danzō in good spirits, Feng Bai breathed a sigh of relief—at least he wouldn't have to endure extra training.
And moreover...
He was starting school!
This meant he wouldn't have to suffer those meaningless beatings during the day anymore!
What a cause for celebration, truly wonderful.
"By the way, once you start school, you won't be able to continue your usual training, so your training load will need to double during this period." Danzō, just remembering this matter, came out to pour cold water on Feng Bai's excitement.
"Of course, this doesn't mean you should stop training altogether. I know what they teach at the ninja academy—it's all basic stuff, mainly the Three Basic Techniques and some theoretical knowledge, so your training will have to be moved to the evenings from now on."
Danzō continued delivering crushing blows to Feng Bai.
Old bastard, I swear I'll kill you!
A true man born between heaven and earth cannot remain subordinate forever!
Feng Bai was ready to channel Lü Bu and run Danzō through with a halberd—
"Yes, father."
But reality was that he chickened out, completely and thoroughly.
"Speaking of which, that Ice Release of yours, it was..." Remembering the earlier Ice Release, Danzō curiously questioned Feng Bai.
"Mom once left me a scroll..." Feng Bai answered honestly. The scroll recorded some Ice Release techniques, but he could only remember a few with relatively simple hand seals. Most of the others he was too lazy to even look at, so he had hidden the scroll away.
"I see, Ice Release techniques... Even in Kirigakure, that's extremely rare intelligence..." Hearing about the existence of such a scroll, Danzō narrowed his eyes.
"Do you still remember where you hid the scroll?"
"It's near the village where I used to live, but I can't remember the exact location, and I didn't make any markers. However, if I went there personally, I should be able to find it..." Feng Bai hesitated for a moment, not telling the complete truth.
In his heart, he still harbored some concern for a certain clansman.
Having come to this world, he really wanted to save that person.
When the time came, he could use this as an excuse to ask Danzō to lend him people so he could personally go to Kirigakure to find that guy who probably hadn't even been born yet.
"Is that so..." Danzō was somewhat disappointed. After all, Konoha had no records of Ice Release techniques. If they could find it, it would certainly provide significant help to Feng Bai's strength.
It seems I'll have to find a way to obtain Ice Release techniques from Kirigakure's official sources.
...
After enduring countless beatings, Feng Bai finally awaited the day school began.
Speaking of school starting, one couldn't help but mention Naruto's signature tradition—the Hokage personally taking the stage to give a speech, promoting the Will of Fire.
"Where the leaves dance, fire burns eternal."
Watching his classmates' reactions, Feng Bai sighed helplessly.
Clearly, the children from major clans didn't pay much attention to the Third's ideology, while the children from civilian backgrounds were quite inspired by it.
However, if Obito were here, he'd probably be very excited.
Seeing Might Guy and Ebisu sitting beside Rin, Feng Bai knew that Obito must have gone off somewhere to help elderly people again.
Speaking of which, Might Guy really did enter the school through the supplementary admission process. Thank goodness these key plot points haven't changed. As a reincarnator without a system, intelligence is my only advantage.
"The light of fire will illuminate the entire village and allow new green leaves to sprout. To an old man like me, you are those green leaves. We will watch over you forever, until you stand in my position."
As Hiruzen Sarutobi concluded his speech, the teacher beside him began applauding first, followed by the inspired children.
Feng Bai mixed in with the crowd, perfunctorily clapping his hands, considering it sufficient applause.
"Thank you for the Third Hokage's speech. Today's entrance ceremony ends here. Please remember your class schedule and don't be late tomorrow." After respectfully seeing Hiruzen off, the teacher turned to face the students and announced dismissal.
"Oh, and remember to take your respective files home." Before leaving, the teacher pointed to a pile of file folders on the desk as a reminder.
"Take Obito's file for him." Picking up his own file folder, Feng Bai said to Kakashi.
"Why should I?" Kakashi looked completely unwilling. "If you keep spoiling that guy who's always late, he'll become increasingly brazen."
"Besides, aren't you closer to him? You should be the one to take it for him."
Hearing Kakashi say he had a better relationship with Obito, Feng Bai quickly denied it: "Don't talk nonsense—you're clearly his best buddy."
"Hah? Every time that guy is late, you're the one making excuses for him. It's because of you that he's become what he is now." Although Kakashi didn't understand what "best buddy" meant, considering Feng Bai's usual behavior, it was obviously not a compliment.
