Chapter 25 The Third Hokage
The huge pangolin tumbled for several minutes before it died in the raging flames, leaving behind only a huge pangolin shell.

In addition, Uchiha Feiyu, who had been watching the show from above, also gained something, which was the soul of the pangolin.

Although the pangolin's soul is far inferior to that of Hatake Sakumo, it has very advanced earth-based techniques, which can be used not only to cultivate the earth attribute of chakra in the future, but also to escape.

You know, even if most animals have chakra in their bodies, they are of the type without attributes. Only one in ten has attributes, and those with pure attributes or even innate ninjutsu are one in a thousand.

Moreover, most of the innate ninjutsu are tricks like spraying water and spitting wind. Ninjutsu like the Earth Movement Technique, which is also very useful to Uchiha Feiyu, is extremely rare.

It was just luck that allowed Uchiha Feiyu to obtain a useful soul on this mission. This kind of thing is hard to come by.

In the following month, although the entire team carried out more than a dozen missions, they were basically smooth sailing. At most, they obtained the souls of a few ordinary chakra animals.

However, in the past month, Uchiha Feiyu's own strength has also improved a lot.

Although he had obtained Hatake Sakumo's soul and learned the White Fang sword technique, he still had great shortcomings in aspects such as chakra attribute changes and muscle memory training.

After all, he had only obtained Hatake Sakumo's soul for a few days. Even if he made rapid progress through his possession ability, it would be impossible for him to drain it dry in such a short time.

During this month, Uchiha Feiyu's originally rough mastery of the White Fang sword technique has gradually been turned into muscle memory, and the flexibility and connectivity of the moves have been greatly improved.

Moreover, the original lightning chakra attribute changes have also been improved a lot. Both the power of the sword and the speed under the stimulation of lightning have been greatly improved.

Even his chakra has improved a lot. This is not only because of the stimulation brought by Hatake Sakumo's soul, but also because Uchiha Feiyu has double magatama Sharingan, and his blood feeds back to his body, which also improves his talent.

The most obvious feature is the sparring between He Hinata and Hizashi during this period. Hizashi Hizashi is becoming more and more uncontrollable, and in the end Hizashi Hizashi has even stated clearly that there is no way to conduct full-strength combat training without both sides getting hurt.

According to Hinata Hizashi, Uchiha Feiyu may have flaws in other aspects, but in terms of pure combat power, Uchiha Feiyu is already at the level of a Jonin.

Uchiha Feiyu's abnormal speed of progress also stimulated his two friends. Unfortunately, no matter how hard Asuma and Hong practiced, their progress was as slow as a turtle compared to Uchiha Feiyu, who was a cheater.

For more than a month, the two of them only experienced some actual combat with chakra animals, saw a little blood, and gained some combat experience, but there was still no essential improvement in strength.

After completing the mission that day, Uchiha Feiyu came to the Death Forest again to practice. As soon as he arrived inside the Death Forest and saw the training ground, he was slightly surprised.

The training ground inside the Death Forest was actually just a piece of flat land created by him and Kakashi by cutting down some big trees. It was certainly not comparable to a regular training ground, but it didn't cost much either.

At this moment, in the center of the training ground, Kakashi with silver hair was standing respectfully in front of a short old man, and that short old man was the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"How did Hokage-sama find time to come here? Are you here to investigate us for destroying the Death Forest? I don't have the money to pay for it!"

Uchiha Feiyu showed a trembling expression on his face, which made Kakashi, who had already understood his nature, secretly roll his eyes. After hearing this, the Third Hokage's expression froze slightly, and then shook his head: "I didn't come here today to investigate the destruction of the Death Forest... Of course, it's better to do less of this kind of thing in the future."

The Third Hokage stroked his chin and spoke with a smile.

This is just for fun. As ninjas are masters of extraordinary powers, eight out of ten of them will build some secret bases as long as they are a little stronger. It is estimated that more than half of the underground of the entire Konoha Village has been hollowed out.

The little thing Kakashi and Uchiha Feiyu did would not alarm the Third Hokage at all, and he was not here for this matter at all.

In fact, perhaps Kakashi was still young and didn't think much, but as soon as Uchiha Feiyu saw the Third Hokage, he already knew why he came - it was nothing more than to win over the two youngest geniuses of the Konoha Village.

Neither Hinata Hizashi nor Asuma would hide Uchiha Toba's performance in Team 1 from the Third Hokage.

He is only fourteen years old now, but he is already a standard jonin. Kakashi is only eight or nine years old now, but he defeated Kondo Kunihiko, a special jonin. No matter how you look at it, the two of them will at least be quasi-kage-level strongmen in the future.

For such potential stocks, the Third Hokage must have tried to win them over and make use of them. This is also the consistent style of the Third Hokage.

"As long as I don't lose money, it's fine. I'm very poor now, and my savings are less than 100,000 taels."

Uchiha Feiyu patted his chest and looked relieved, which made the Third Hokage choke.

"It seems that your life is difficult? This is a mistake made by our top management. We will provide more subsidies to the orphan students of the Ninja Academy in the future."

Although Uchiha Feiyu knew what the Third Hokage was thinking, he had no intention of approaching him.

First of all, he is an Uchiha. Even if he is a marginal person who is not welcome by the Uchiha clan, it is hard to say what the top leaders will think of him.

Secondly, it is the Third World War now. After joining a faction, you will probably have to take on some important tasks and go directly to the battlefield!
Not to mention that you will become a target, attracting countless conspiracies and plots, and you might even become cannon fodder.

Kakashi is a clear example. He first followed Minato Namikaze and fought in the most dangerous battlefield of the Third Ninja World War. Then he was targeted by Danzo and survived a life-threatening situation.

"The subsidy doesn't matter. It's not given to me anyway. Since Hokage-sama is not here to hold us accountable, what are you doing here today?"

Uchiha Hiba asked with a somewhat lazy smile on his face. The Third Hokage smiled gently and looked at Uchiha Hiba and Kakashi:

"I'm sorry about White Fang, but luckily he left you two as his successors. You two are both the most outstanding geniuses in the entire Konoha. If you have any troubles, you can tell me."
