Naruto Time Control

Chapter 56

As for Uchiha Shisui's ultimate genjutsu, the Kotoamatsukami, whether it will be effective against Hachimon, we still don't know.

After all, it wasn't stated in the original story so even Feng couldn't tell.

But he doesn't care, the important thing was as long as he was immune to most genjutsus, it was enough for him.

This is why he endures all this hardship and still continues to practice Hachimon.

'Seven hundred and seventy five...'

'Seven hundred and seventy six'

'Seven hundred seventy seven'

As he continued his exercise, Feng's breathing began to become more intense and ragged, his sweat was already dripping on the floor.

When he reached '777', his arms finally couldn't bear it and finally collapsed and he fell to the ground.

After catching his breath for a minute, Feng sat up again.

"Unfortunately, I can't use time reversal to relieve my fatigue."

Feng shook his head.

His ability to reverse time would bring back his body into its previous state, so if he used it to remove his fatigue, it would also be equivalent to him not doing those 700+ push ups previously.

After resting for a few a while, Feng drank water as he looked at the ground with his puddle of sweat, and said, "Forget it, let's go outside."

Since his tent now smelled sweat, he found it troublesome to clean it.

After he went outside.

Feng laid down and placed his hands behind his head and started his sit-ups.

Push-ups, sit-ups and squats, these three are the most basic of exercises. These exercises include your whole body, and it was also the most effective exercise to loosen the gates inside the body.

'Two hundred twenty one'

'Two hundred twenty-two'

'Two hundred twenty three'

Feng continued counting silently in his heart.

His exercise attracted the attention of some ninjas.

"Hey, what's that kid doing?"

Someone saw Feng and couldn't help but speak to someone nearby.

Morino Ibiki that's holding a box in his hand, couldn't help but follow the gaze of the person next to him. Seeing Feng who was doing sit ups, he couldn't help but give him a weird look.

"Is that guy... exercising?"

"It seems like it."

Morino Ibiki's mouth couldn't help but twitch and said: "Why do I feel like this kid is...well, not very clever? Is he really the kid that was said to be the genius that was taken as the personal disciple of Lord Orochimaru?"

This is the border!

They might be attacked by enemies at any time!

In this kind of place and moment, the best thing to do is adjust your mental state to be prepared to fight at any given time, not to workout and exercise. He really wanted to blurt out towards Feng 'is there a problem with your brain?' but held back.

After all, Feng is still Orochimaru's disciple.

"Who knows?"

The companion next to him shrugged and said helplessly: "How can there be someone who still has the time to exercise in this kind of situation?"

Morino Ibiki was also lost for words.

If something unexpected happens, they might have to protect Feng who is incompetent and and still immature. They couldn't help but thought, 'why would he be assigned here in the Advance Force?!'

If they were still in the village then he would really pester Orochimaru with questions. But now that they're already at the border, it's useless to say anything anymore. Since Feng's already here, they can no longer kick him out.

"Forget it, leave him alone."

Ibiki finally shook his head and walked back into his tent.

Since Feng was Orochimaru's disicple he should be responsible for teaching him this kind of stupid behavior. They couldn't do anything, even if he was a burden.

After some time.

Feng did his sit ups and squats. After finishing them he started doing push ups once again.

He ignored the weird gazes directed at him, because he felt that the shackles towards the Fourth Gate had loosened up!

Even with all of his muscles spasming from pain, Feng still clenched his teeth.

The Fourth Gate is almost open! Just a little bit more!

Feng's actions not only attracted the ninjas nearby, but even Orochimaru noticed what he's doing. He looked at Feng and frowned slightly as he was puzzled on what he's disciple was currently doing.

"...you really have the time to do some exercises at this time?"

He is the most familiar with Feng more than Ibiki and the others. In his opinion, Feng would not do such stupid meaningless things.

He knew that Feng was wearing a gear with heavy weights on it, and on the way here from Konoha, Feng also often took time to continue his practice, and he never interfered with him.

In Orochimaru's perspective, this is an excellent attitude to never let up your training under any circumstances.

However, it was different this time.

This is the border of the Land of Fire, and fight may occur at any time. Feng should be perfectly clear about this.

But even after knowing this, Feng still chose to exercise. There should be only one explanation for this and that is Feng was about to breakthrough.

"Hachimon..."

Orochimaru thought then shook his head as he left Feng and didn't stop what he was doing.

It's highly unlikely that a battle will break out suddenly. If Feng is really close to breaking through, then it's worth taking this little risk.

He estimates that Feng's strength should have already reached Jonin rank. If he can breakthrough then maybe he would have the strength of an Upper Jonin once he activates Hachimon.

Although the activation time may not be that long and there would also be corresponding side effects, the increase of his combat power would be very advantageous to them on the battlefield. So Orochimaru chose no to interfere.

Even though the other ninjas found Feng's behaviour outrageous, since Orochimaru did not give them any instructions to stop him, they had no choice but to leave Feng alone and could only say a few words to him at most.

'He's a Chunin right? Even if he was young he should be a little more reliable than Might Dai, but now it seems that both of them are unreliable.' some of them thought.

'Six hundred and sixty four'

'Six hundred sixty five'

Feng with his hands behind his head, continued doing his sit ups.

Sweat kept dripping down on him but he still kept going, he felt that his abdomen was already burning from the soreness and knew that he was already on his limit, but he just clenched his teeth and persisted.

The chakra in his body is surging and converging towards the bottleneck of the Fourth Gate, he felt that his back and chest began to have a slight tingling pain.

Finally.

Feng felt a sudden change towards the Fourth Gate.

Those 'shackles' that he felt previously to loosen up have completely disappeared. He can now clearly feel the Fourth Gate!

This feeling is no stranger to Feng.

This feeling was that Feng had finally achieved a breakthrough and can now finally open the Fourth Gate!
