D-Rank missions.
D-Rank missions.
Fuck D-Rank missions.
Right now, we were doing a Tora mission, and Kami did it suck.
Look! I'm finally getting in the habit of saying Kami!
Are you proud of me mom?
Oh wait…
Anyways, Tora mission. For whatever reason Tora was frickin' terrified of me. I've noticed that with pretty much all animals, actually. The few times I saw Kiba in the Academy, Akamaru all but whimpered in my presence.
This made capturing Tora exceedingly difficult. Tora could sense my presence from a mile away, and she would always book it before we even got close.
We had already been chasing Tora around for five hours now. Say what you will about the cat, but she can run.
"Daisuke, take left! Ayano, run into the alley to the right! We'll try to cut her off!" Ever since the bell test, I had been recognised as the unofficial leader of the team when Kakashi wasn't around, or paying attention.
Such as right now.
As if mocking my thoughts, a perverted giggle was heard from the rooftops. Yep, Kakashi was still reading his porn.
Sigh.
Daisuke ran to intercept Tora, but she veered off to the right. Ayano exploded out of the alleyway, her fingers just brushing Tora's tail before she scampered away. Then Tora caught sight of me. She froze in terror for a moment, then fled the other way.
Stay still dammit! This stupid ass cat! I swear, when I get my hands on you, I'll turn you into a hat! You hear me? A MOTHERFUCKING HA-
Tora mysteriously bonked me in the head. My two teammates looked at the cat in shock. Tora herself looked equally shocked.
Not wanting to waste an opportunity, we jumped on Tora, and bound her in ropes.
Finally!
I felt another sting in my chest. I had grown used to the occasional chest pains over the course of the last few weeks or so. Training with an actual team had spiked my chakra usage, and therefore my chest pains considerably. I walked away with my team towards the Hokage's office.
"What happened back there?" Daisuke asked, "I mean, not that I'm not thankful or anything, but I'm just wondering."
I was silent. The way Tora just appeared was eerily similar to the way that the key from Orochimaru's lab had appeared in front of me. There had to be a connection somewhere. Perhaps Kakashi had seen what had happened? He was a high level ninja after all, perhaps with his stockpile of experience he had an idea of how Tora seemingly teleported into our arms.
He let out another perverted giggle.
Or perhaps not.
Kakashi's training was brutal, it wasn't anything like in canon.
Don't get me wrong, he was lazy, and we often had to force him to train us, but once he got going, he was merciless.
That's exactly what I wanted. If I'm going to make a difference in the world, you bet your ass that I'm gonna need all the training that I can get.
Since I was ridiculously talented with Ninjutsu, I had mastered tree walking in a day, and water walking in two.
Kakashi had seemed a little surprised, but he recovered quickly. Since my throwing skills were only mediocre, and my physical aspects were subpar, he had me work on those.
Right now, I was doing… something… on a tree branch. I'm not quite certain what kind of exercise I was doing, but let me tell you, it was exhausting.
On top of that, I had to three kunai at a moving bullseye every five seconds, regardless of what sort of position I was in.
Daisuke and Ayano were still figuring out tree walking. Psh, peasants.
Nerds! Bet ya'll wish you got experimented on by an insane S-ranked traitor now! Not only would you be done with tree walking, but you'd also have numerous body modifications, with Kami knows how many side effects! You'd be lucky to make it to twenty!
Wow. That… sounded a lot worse than I thought it would.
Granted, I knew that Orochimaru's experiments messed me up, but saying it out loud just…
Fucking Orochimaru.
Seriously, doing mostly physical workouts sucked. When I became a Genin, I was hoping for some jutsu, or maybe an intro to seals. Not this.
Despite having the best chakra control and the largest chakra reserves, I was stuck doing what real ninja back on Earth actually did.
Disgusting.
At least I had some noticeable progression with my training. Now I could maybe beat Ayano one-fourth of the time. I still had yet to beat Daisuke. I noticed that all the members of my team had different specialties. Daisuke was our Taijutsu guy. Ayano was our stereotypical kunoichi, with scary throwing skills, and Genjutsu. I was the Ninjutsu specialist, despite the fact that right now, I wasn't even training it.
All in all, we were a pretty well balanced team.
The next morning, we met again at Training Ground Seven.
"Anything you guys want to train for today?" Kakashi asks us over his porn.
"Wait, you're letting us choose?" Daisuke seems surprised. After all, Kakashi had chosen for us for the past two weeks or so.
"Sure." Kakashi replied, shrugging.
"How about some elemental jutsu?" I ask. It'd be nice to get my hands on some new jutsu.
"Tomorrow I'll bring chakra paper." Kakashi promised, "How about you guys?"
"Elemental stuff would be cool," said Daisuke.
"I'm fine with anything."
"Cool." Kakashi said, with an infuriating eye smile, "But you all better work your asses off today." The eye smile turned vicious.
Well damn.
When Kakashi said that we'd work our asses off, he meant that we'd train our asses into the ground.
After running a lap around the entire freaking village as a Kami damn warm up, we spent the rest of the day climbing the Hokage monument. Now, that might not seem hard, but instead of taking the path like a normal person, we climbed up the side.
With no chakra allowed.
While Kakashi's dogs nipped at our feet.
Ass.
The next day, we all met at the training ground. Kakashi, true to his promise, had three slips of chakra paper for us.
I took the paper in my hands and channelled a bit of chakra into it. It wrinkled. So, lightning.
Cool.
Looking over, I saw that Daisuke had earth, and Ayano had fire.
Lightning is good. It's fast and… yeah… fast. I mean, fire would be nice explosions are awesome, but lightning is cool too, I guess.
Besides, Kakashi as a sensei plus lightning affinity equals frickin' Chidori! Badassery here I come!
Come on Kakashi, what've you got for us? Awesome Ninjutsu? Crazy elemental combinations? I can practically feel the power of untapped potential flowing through my very soul.
Kakashi gave us a bunch of leaves to practice basic elemental changes with.
Ass.
A/N: About the nerf I mentioned last chapter, I should have phrased it a bit better. Seidome's gonna be strong enough to stand against crazy shinobi monsters, I promise. The 'nerf' is a sort of gateway for more power. It sounds kind of counterintuitive, and the 'nerf' doesn't actually nerf any of his powers in the long run. I'll get rid of the nerf note in the last chapter, it was poorly worded.
Feedback, as always, would be appreciated.
