Snorting while I sat in a tree waiting for Yuma Sensei, Seitaro and Saya were sparing in kenjutsu while I jumped down and appeared between them catching both blades, Seitaro's blade with a kunai and Saya I used my hand to catch it.

I stated," If you guys weren't so in depth you would realize that Yuma-sensei is watching us. We are in war so pay attention."

Saya pouted," Keiji we are gennin strong gennin yes we probably won't be going to the front lines for a while."

I responded," Rank doesn't matter we will still be killed wither we be Academy Student, Gennin, Chunin, Jounin, or Kage."

Yuma-sensei spoke up," He is right and Saya you are wrong. All three of you have been given clearance to go to the front line. Keiji I am naming you as team captain after me. Saya, Seitaro you are both to listen to his orders and work together."

Saya sighed," I swear you jinxed us Keiji."

Seitaro chuckled," Well you did say we need to leave a mark on this world."

Remaining impassive,' Why the hell would Hokage-sama give us clearance to go on the front lines. Our skill level no... we would be considered green Chunin no we are green Gennin. So why...'

I sheathed the kunai," Sensei why are we being given clearance to be on the front lines. This is unordinary for us to even be allowed to be on the frontlines. Don't tell me..."

She nodded," I have a feeling you got it already, yes we are losing the war. Iwa, Kumo, and Kiri allied with a newer village in Oni no Kuni(1). The warriors they have are all Chunin level, majority or Low Jounin to High ANBU level. Except for a few who are Kage level, no above that. Their leader's power is unmatched stronger than any of the kages."

My eyes widened," Seriously."

Seitaro growled," So I hate to be the one to say this but what will we do?"

Saya nodded in agreement while Yuma-sensei looked sad," We go to the frontlines, effective now. Go home, say goodbye to loved ones, and get supplies. We will meet at the west gate at dusk."

I waited tell both of them left when I asked," Yuma-sensei can I ask you for your permission to run on the side and in the trees that way I can hit the enemy hard from another direction?"

She nodded,"Of course, I can see the logic in your request. I will allow it."

I bowed," Thank you sensei. I will see you at dusk."

Disappearing in a body flicker I appeared in the Namikaze compound breathing lightly while on of the guards looked at me and stated," Keiji-sama, why are you back already?"

I replied," Mission outside of the village Kotetsu."

His eyes widened and walked off hastily while I made it to my room and began packing, bringing plenty of kunai, shuriken, senbon needles, chakra pills, blood pills, and a medkit just in case. Walking out of the room as Airi stomped towards me," Father wants to see you."

I sighed," Fine, fine."

Walking right past her I entered the room to see mother and father sitting there while I sat down across from him.

Father stated," Keiji we have come to the conclusion you are to be engaged."

My eyes widened slightly shocked before I masked my emotions," I see. Is that all you needed me for?"

Mother shook her head," No, Keiji we wish to know what you plan to do now?"

I responded," Go on the mission I was just assigned to."

Father rose a brow," Go where exactly?"

" The front lines."

Mother yelled," Absolutely not!"

I sighed," Mother, frankly speaking I should be saying the same to you about me being engaged. May I know who my...betrothed is?"

Father sighed," Saya Uchiha."

I coughed slightly on air before yelling," W-wait what!"

Mother chuckled," Never thought I would see that from you."

I calmed myself and stood up," Is that all?"

They both shook their heads while I headed to the door and father spoke," Oh Keiji" Looking back at him while be spoke," While the shattered wings seal will still be on you permanently, but I am proud of you."

I could tell he meant this and I bowed," Thank you father. I need to finish preparing for the mission I will take on."

I was curious what Saya's reaction would be from the marriage agreement. Sighing I opened my closet and grabbed my tantō, ninja-to, and my katana. Strapping my tantō to my right shoulder. I sealed my ninja-to in a scroll and strapped my katana to my right hip. I shook my head and finished gathering my belongings before walking out and sitting down on the porch outside my room.

My sister came up behind me while she stated arrogantly," You are going to weigh down your team."

I stood up the moment of tranquility was ruined while I stood in front of her before slamming a fist into her ribs causing her to fall," Airi shut the fuck up and grow up. We are shinobi and arrogance can cost us our lives."

She rose her hand on her stomach," You dare hit me."

I responded," I am done with you acting so arrogant. Get up."

She stood up again while I grabbed her shoulders before slamming my knee into the same spot I just punched before kicking her in the jaw, with enough force to at least bruise the bone. She was sent off the porch when my brother yelled," What are you doing Keiji?!"

"Teaching her that arrogance can get her killed Ko. She is a foolish bitch that is nothing more than a genin who was sat up and thinks the world is hers. I think I have wasted enough time with the idiot I must go to the West gate now."
