Under normal circumstances, Kakashi’s mission experience would have qualified him only for Special Jonin, and even that was a lenient standard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in this current war, he was promoted beyond protocol to Jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rules in the Hidden Leaf Village were like this, and other ninja villages were no different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, earlier, the Mist and Stone Village ninja who ambushed Luo Fu and the others appeared to be several Jonin, but only one was truly qualified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the situation they encountered next was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the jungle, cries of battle and screams came intermittently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A streak of starlight appeared; as it passed, the team’s sole Elite Jonin was instantly sliced into hundreds of pieces by Luo Fu’s chakra blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding a blade was entirely different from using the palm as a blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the world of One Below, Zhang Luo Fu used his palm as a blade, and without the intent to kill, he still made Wang Bing feel as if he had been cut a thousand times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Uchiha Luo Fu carried the intent to kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Star Breathing: Seventh Form—Shaking Light Shatters the Army—left almost no ninja alive in its path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the terrifying blade speed—two minor heavenly cycles, three hundred and sixteen cuts in mere moments—was comparable to a grinder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as an Elite Jonin, he couldn’t block even the first strike before being shredded to pieces by Luo Fu’s blade, which was nothing short of a bug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheathing his blade, Luo Fu scanned the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As starlight flared again, his figure surged toward the next target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, this new opponent, like the others, died helplessly in Luo Fu’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle ended completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain Luo Fu, the enemy has been wiped out, but four of our men are dead.” The Uchiha Jonin who had previously argued with Uchiha Shisui bore exhaustion etched into his brow from the slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We…” Seeing Luo Fu’s expressionless face, the Uchiha Jonin hesitated, then said: “Should we change our route and head to the Land of Grass? If we continue like this, I fear the Stone and Mist Villages will send double the forces to ambush us. We’re in the open, the enemy hides in the shadows—we’ll keep getting ambushed, and we’ll lose more men!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do Itachi think, Shisui?” Luo Fu looked at Uchiha Shisui with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, every Uchiha ninja who had heard Luo Fu and the Jonin’s exchange turned to Uchiha Shisui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along this journey, despite Luo Fu’s presence—his incomparable, legendary sword technique that slaughtered Mist and Stone ambushers like cutting vegetables—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu’s strength was one thing; enemy ambushes and sneak attacks were another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One can only be a thief for a thousand days; how can one guard against thieves for a thousand days?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A normal person under constant nervous tension would eventually break down, let alone the Uchiha, whose mental states were already unstable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had held out this long only because Luo Fu had demonstrated ever-growing power and battlefield dominance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After repeatedly crushing enemy ambushes, no matter whether these Uchiha ninja had originally been hardline hawks, weak doves, or moderates, they all inevitably developed unprecedented admiration for Luo Fu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To some extent, if the Hidden Leaf’s propaganda had turned the golden flash into an idol, these Uchiha ninja were now quietly beginning to treat Luo Fu as a deity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding Luo Fu’s request for Shisui’s opinion, these Uchiha ninja would not blame Luo Fu—but they would vent their growing resentment onto Shisui and the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, faced with Luo Fu’s question, Uchiha Shisui even felt his scalp tighten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet despite this, his faith in the village and the Will of Fire still overpowered everything. He took a deep breath and said: “Captain Luo Fu, the village’s orders to us are to follow the original plan and proceed to the Land of Grass battlefield.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood.” Luo Fu agreed immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With diverging thoughts, the Uchiha ninja continued along their original route toward the Land of Grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they did not know that because White Zetsu Obito leaked Luo Fu’s information, in the following ambushes and counter-ambushes, Luo Fu’s reputation grew ever larger, even beginning to rival Minato Namikaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Star Fang?” On the Land of Grass battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the message from headquarters, Minato Namikaze’s sunlit, handsome face lit up with delight, his tone unmistakably joyful: “Luo Fu has finally found his path. Who would have thought that as an Uchiha, his talent would lie in swordsmanship?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While delighted for Luo Fu, Minato Namikaze failed to notice that the village seemed far less optimistic about this development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even during this Great Ninja War, while the Hidden Leaf was at a disadvantage, the Hokage and the Leaf Four still chose to use the war to weaken the Uchiha clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who could have imagined that under such calculations, the Uchiha clan would produce a freak like Luo Fu—possessing a bloodline limit that could rival the entire ninja world, yet forging his own path in swordsmanship?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even during the march, he slaughtered every ambush and sneak attack with his terrifying sword technique, forging the title “Star Fang” for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After rejoicing briefly over Luo Fu’s surge, Minato said: “With Luo Fu’s emergence, our side’s pressure will drop significantly. With these reinforcements, we can even reclaim the Shinobi Bridge instead of destroying it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief pause, Minato added: “Kabuto, Inoichi, I want Itachi two to go welcome Luo Fu. After all, he’s also our classmate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pig, Deer, and Butterfly were absolute loyalists of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were well aware that the Third Hokage and Elder Danzo had long been secretly plotting to weaken the Uchiha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu’s emergence had completely shattered their plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could be certain that the Third Hokage and the others would not let this slide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Star Fang? Hmph. A damned Uchiha dare earn such an honor?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a dark, sinister expression and one eye blind, Danzo, upon receiving frontline reports, immediately leaned on his cane and entered the Hokage’s office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sarutobi, we cannot let this Uchiha Luo Fu accumulate more prestige.” As soon as he entered, Danzo blurted out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiruzen Sarutobi, smoking a pipe and exhaling faint blue smoke, replied gravely: “We assumed that after leaking intelligence about these Uchiha reinforcements, they’d be wiped out by Mist and Stone ambushes. But who could have expected that the once ordinary Uchiha Luo Fu would display such terrifying swordsmanship?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a pause, Hiruzen drew another puff from his pipe and said: “His reputation is earned through strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tossed a report toward Danzo and added: “Look—this is the latest frontline intelligence. Some veterans of the Second Great Ninja War even suspect that this Uchiha Luo Fu now rivals the White Fang of old. Otherwise, how could he have earned a title so similar to the Leaf’s White Fang?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then let him die!” Danzo growled. “Sarutobi, the White Fang of the Senju clan could be broken easily, but an Uchiha Fang? He’s a grave threat. This man must not live—he must die in this Great Ninja War.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do Itachi propose?” Hiruzen asked Danzo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of excitement passed through Danzo’s eyes. “Bring him back. Directly assign him to my Root. Once inside Root, he becomes our finest weapon—and this will cut off his further accumulation of prestige and prevent the Uchiha from gaining more standing in the village.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t even think about it.” Hiruzen looked at Danzo with disdain and handed him another report. “Look at this one—it’s from Shisui.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calming himself, Danzo read the report—and immediately flew into a rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a wicked Uchiha! He has no loyalty to the village and scorns the Will of Fire of the First Hokage. This man cannot be allowed to live.” Danzo’s tone was absolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, he’s a massive problem—but we can’t handle him easily now,” Hiruzen said, looking at Danzo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Danzo instantly fell silent on the idea of recalling Luo Fu to Root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jokingly, before seeing Uchiha Shisui’s report, Danzo had believed he could use the village and the Will of Fire to morally blackmail Luo Fu into accepting Tonghuo Genjue’s seals and becoming a weapon for Root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after reading Shisui’s assessment of Luo Fu, Danzo wished Luo Fu would never return to the Hidden Leaf for the rest of his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After careful thought, Danzo realized with shock that this Uchiha Luo Fu was an absolute anomaly within the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though born into the Uchiha clan, he was an only child with no siblings, and his parents died on the battlefield of the Second Great Ninja War.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Uchiha clan, he was the kind of person lost in a crowd—mediocre, as if “mediocrity” were his very definition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a mediocre ninja, if not born into the Uchiha clan, neither Danzo nor Hiruzen Sarutobi would have cared about him at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet precisely because he was an Uchiha, he had no true friends in either the Uchiha clan or the Ninja Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This solitary, unattached, unbound individual who scorned both village and Will of Fire—even Hiruzen and Danzo dared not easily manipulate him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was simple: Luo Fu was strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had Luo Fu been even slightly weaker, upon sensing this state, Hiruzen would have long found an opportunity to sacrifice him on the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his strength became his greatest shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Hiruzen and Danzo dared not act rashly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sarutobi, I may have a plan against him,” Danzo, truly the Shadow of the Pot, said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lacked power and common sense, yet in conspiracy and scheming, he always found twisted solutions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Speak. Only we two are here. This Luo Fu has become our greatest threat.” Hiruzen’s face was troubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My Root recently learned something about the Sand and Mist Villages,” Danzo sneered. “As one of the instigators of the Third Great Ninja War, the Sand Village is nearly broken. They’ve begun seeking peace with the Mist Village—and to end the war, they’ve decided to sacrifice the Yoton user, Ye Cang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiruzen glanced at Danzo, puzzled—why was Danzo suddenly bringing up Sand and Mist Villages when they were discussing Luo Fu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Both the Mist and Sand Villages want Ye Cang dead,” Danzo said. “And we cannot let Luo Fu live either. So we send him out—let him fight Ye Cang to the death. If Ye Cang wins, it’s none of our concern. If Uchiha Luo Fu wins, we can still trade his life to the Mist Village.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiruzen looked at Danzo strangely, then asked: “Are Itachi certain this plan can work?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course,” Danzo said confidently. “Itachi can trust me—my Root has long-standing ties with the Mist and Sand Villages.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiruzen studied Danzo deeply, then said: “Fine. Arrange it. Once everything is ready, I’ll assign Luo Fu a solo mission as Hokage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait for my good news,” Danzo said, as if he genuinely enjoyed such underhanded deeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even during this process, he asked for no favors from Hiruzen. After receiving permission, he hurriedly left the Hokage Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the ninja battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Luo Fu’s group arriving from the Water and Fire Country frontline to the Land of Grass battlefield,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uchiha Luo Fu’s title “Star Fang” spread throughout the entire ninja world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some ninja villages had already begun comparing Luo Fu to the original Leaf White Fang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even small ninja villages began issuing orders: if a ninja encountered Uchiha Luo Fu during a mission, abandoning the mission would not count as failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only small villages, lacking prestige, could merely add luster to Luo Fu’s “Star Fang” title.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a major village—like the Stone, Sand, Mist, or Cloud Villages of the Five Great Nations—issued the same order, Luo Fu would truly become a force to be reckoned with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Luo Fu and his team arrived, the Hidden Leaf’s base in the Land of Grass erupted in chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These civilian ninja knew nothing of the corruption between the higher-ups and the Uchiha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To them, Luo Fu—who had slain countless ninja on his journey—was unquestionably the Hidden Leaf’s hero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one sent to welcome Luo Fu was none other than the battlefield commander: Orochimaru.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Orochimaru had not yet become obsessed with the Sharingan, and he was genuinely curious about this Uchiha who, despite his bloodline, had forged the “Star Fang” title through swordsmanship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet upon seeing Luo Fu for the first time, Orochimaru paused for a moment, then his face lit up with keen interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If initially he had merely been curious about what an Uchiha ninja who had become a master of swordsmanship looked like, then the moment he saw Luo Fu, Orochimaru knew one thing for certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That this Uchiha Luo Fu was one of his kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, compared to him, Uchiha Luo Fu was even more terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sought immortality alone, but Uchiha Luo Fu had, in his very soul, ceased to regard himself as human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To say so might be slightly inappropriate—after all, in pursuit of immortality, Orochimaru had dared to subject his own body to any bizarre surgical procedure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet ultimately, Orochimaru’s heart still retained humanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luo Fu was different; the instant he saw him, Orochimaru felt only one thing: that the man was not human—not in body or power, but in spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was his fellow ninja from the Hidden Leaf or the villagers of the village, in this man’s eyes, they were all objects of condescension; his heart stood like a god or demon, utterly incapable of empathy toward any human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he was fully aware of the Uchiha’s pathological psyche, Orochimaru still felt intense curiosity toward a being like Luo Fu—who no longer saw himself as human, nor others as such.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep down, Orochimaru had a feeling that the immortality he sought might find its key in Luo Fu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After his shock passed, Orochimaru quickly wore a chilling smile, stepping before Luo Fu and saying, “I never imagined an Uchiha ninja could shake the entire ninja world with swordsmanship alone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Luo Fu and Orochimaru’s group had completed their rendezvous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the crowd of Hidden Leaf ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young Uchiha boy wearing goggles proudly told the white-haired girl beside him, whose face was veiled in black gauze: “See that? That’s my Uchiha elder, Starfang Fang—he’ll be the new White Fang of the Hidden Leaf, as strong as the original White Fang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi Hatake gazed at Luo Fu with complex eyes, hesitated a moment, then glared at Uchiha Obito and said, “Idiot, even if this Uchiha elder is incredibly powerful, what does it have to do with Itachi, a dead-last? Itachi can’t even activate your Sharingan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Itachi—” Uchiha Obito flew into a rage, pointing at Kakashi Hatake. “Kakashi, I swear to Itachi—I will awaken my Sharingan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, yes, yes.” Kakashi nodded dismissively. “Come on. Let’s go rest. Master Minato will take us to the Battle of Shinobi Bridge next.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, Kakashi, what do Itachi mean? Don’t Itachi believe in me? I tell Itachi, I won’t just awaken my Sharingan—I’ll become a Hokage as great as the Third.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind Kakashi Hatake, Uchiha Obito chattered endlessly to his comrade about his dreams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside them, a girl with painted facial markings walked behind them with a gentle smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rendezvous and handover of the support team went smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, with Luo Fu as a wildcard, if any Uchiha ninja died, so be it; if they survived, the Hidden Leaf would lose its F4—so for now, they could only let him reap immense prestige without openly suppressing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, not suppressing him was one thing—but trimming his rewards was still perfectly acceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, these Uchiha ninja faced precisely this situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The exposure of their route meant they had encountered countless ambushes along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, the Hidden Mist, Hidden Stone, and even the Hidden Cloud and Hidden Sand had joined in, not to mention hired rogue ninja and ninja from small villages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If all these ambushes and counterattacks are counted, Luo Fu’s support team would each earn at least several S-rank mission rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon reaching the Hidden Leaf’s military encampment, neither Commander Orochimaru nor those responsible for tallying battle merits—like Nara Shikamaru—mentioned the mission rewards at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Uchiha seethed inwardly, they dared not openly protest, since even Luo Fu’s own merits had not been recorded. Besides, Shisui had done his part to soothe tensions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the second day after arriving at the Grass Country’s military encampment, Luo Fu received a perplexing solo mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Solo missions, whether in wartime or peacetime, were exceptionally rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, ninja missions were assigned in teams of three, often with a senior jonin mentor; during war, when mentors were scarce, even genin could be led by chunin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Solo missions—let alone ordinary chunin—even jonin rarely qualified for them. Typically, solo missions were reserved for elite jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Luo Fu had been granted a solo mission meant his status within the village had, in some measure, been elevated to elite jonin level—he now only needed formal recognition and promotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But wartime operations were kept simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he saw his mission, Luo Fu wore a wry smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked meaningfully at Orochimaru and said, “Lord Orochimaru, are Itachi certain my mission is to travel to the Land of Water and assassinate Yecha, the Burning Release ninja sent by the Hidden Sand to negotiate with the Hidden Mist?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not certain,” Orochimaru replied with a smile matching Luo Fu’s. “Luo Fu, Itachi are a peculiar being. This peculiarity isn’t your kekkei genkai, nor your mysterious swordsmanship—it’s your heart. I feel no trace of Itachi regarding your Hidden Leaf comrades or villagers as equals.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do Itachi mean, Lord Orochimaru?” Luo Fu feigned confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",3032,"2026-06-21T01:08:28.363Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ffb963eb27fcc51efa46a64e95c5e1189efa39c297bc82cb84266c3e0cc9c8d1","simultaneously-transmigrated-i-forge-the-dao-acr-chapter-67","simultaneously-transmigrated-i-forge-the-dao-acr-chapter-65",686,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsimultaneously-transmigrated-i-forge-the-dao-acr-cover.jpg"]
