Thanks for all the reviews to start again, Enjoy the chapter


Kame, for all he talked about looking for a specialty, was extremely proficient at compartmentalizing.

'Why does he do this'

Looking at him, he looked perfectly fine, when yesterday he cried himself to sleep. We had already reached the second camp and killed everyone. He just had this blank expression on his face the whole time.

I'm no Yamanaka, but this can't be healthy, as soon as he gets comfortable, his mask drops, and I can see the distraught in his face.

Currently, we were tree running, we were about a day from the camp. When we reached it we were most likely going to be put in combat again.

'Why do we have to do this. shit'


Later

Kame

I think it's official, I might have the worst luck in the world. I already had pretty shit luck to be born in the Naruto work of all places(in the perfect timeframe to fight in a war), but now I think life just hates me.

I was placed under a warmonger

Jounin Iwai Michi was an attractive woman, but you can't let that fool you. She has a record for being one of the most brutal jounin in Konoha. She relished in combat, she was pretty much a Kiri shinobi born in Konoha.

The moment I met her she felt like an Inuzaka so she was probably a bastard that went unclaimed until it was too late.

Her reaction to seeing the Jounin with us was to punch him, that scared me a bit, but apparently, they were squad members so I'm going to dismiss the idea of it happening to me, hopefully...

Right now, I'm traveling to a meeting with her with Riichi. I was worried about being sent into combat immediately, Iwai was absolutely the type to do that. So my anxiety was at an all-time high.

Heading into her tent, she was spinning around a kunai in her chair. She looked over at us as soon as we entered.

"First off, Ricky, your getting promoted to chunin"

Riichi looked slightly irked by her calling him the wrong name, but he had been striving for this promotion for a while so he was thankful.

"My name is Riichi, but thank you Iwai-san" he replied

"Second, you are being deployed to front combat with me" she dropped that bombshell so casually like it didn't matter(it probably didn't to her).

"Haruto(her teammate) will take over the camp and we'll migrate to kusagakure" she continued

Riichi looked at me panicked, everyone knew that kusa was fucking slaughter machine. Iwa was all over the place in there. Hanzo's dogs in ame sometimes traveled into to kusa. Not to ignore that kusa was causing problems even when they were supposed to be our allies(fucking snakes).

The thing is we couldn't refuse this and Iwai would kill us if we went rouge because despite her attitude she was loyal to Konoha. This left riichi with nothing to say but yes.

"When are we leaving," Riichi asked, he was hoping to get at least a little break time before we went to likely die.

"Tomorrow" she replied as she sent us away.

Fucking E-rank luck!


Next Day


Really, I think I'm hated by someone up there, I don't have any idea why though. I was a fairly average guy, taller than most but not a giant, I wasn't a Saint but I had morals. I didn't even get to finish high school(I wanted to have that college experience).

Complaining about the unfairness of life wasn't going to change that I'm going to a different camp where I'll likely be called to fight in less than 24 hours.

It wasn't a far journey and would take about a day given that there were only a couple of people. The party was Jounin Iwai, Richii, Matsuo, 2 other chūnin I hadn't met, and me.

One of the chūnin raised their hand in the signal to stop. She was our groups sensor so there must be something nearby. "Four chakra signals nearby, west of us, one jounin level reserves others are chūnin level reserves" she said.

'I hate my life'

Are you actually kidding me, these are almost with out a doubt hostiles and while their reserves tell one story, they could be above that skill wise.

"We're engaging" Iwai said

'Fuck'

Dropping to the ground, our group started moving in their direction. I made sure to sure to stay close to Riichi.

'Ok ok, calm down, you're as ready as you could've been out number them, let's do this'

We saw a slight clearing with tents set up in the center, looking around I didn't feel or see any presences which was odd. Actually I saw no one not even Riichi who I was just next too.

'Shit, KAI!'

Releasing the genjutsu revealed we were already in combat, Iwai was engaging man who I assumed was the Jounin. Our sensor seemed to be doing good against her opponent. Riichi was fighting a chūnin and seemed to be doing pretty well at least compared to one of the Konoha chūnin who was getting his ass beat.

'Gotta go help him', I released Matsuo from the genjutsu and started running towards the battle.

Aside from a wound in his left leg, the opponent wasn't very injured. He was evading all of the Konoha chūnins attacks pretty well.

'Jumping in is going to be dangerous but then again I'm a shinobi, that's expected for the rest of my life'

Rushing in I launched a couple of shurikens at the enemy to get him to back off and stood next to my squad mate.

"He has a focus on taijutsu" he quickly said as soon as I got near him. A mismatch then, this guy was a genjutsu user so he likely got rushed before he could start anything.

"I'll rush in and you and Matsuo can provide support" I said

Seeing his nod I immediately rushed the enemy, throwing several kunais at him.

He dodged them(because of course they're fucking kunais) but immediately after had to block some shuriken from matsuo.

'Perfect!'

I used this opportunity to channel a bit of chakra for my bootleg fire bending; it wasn't nearly as good but it got the job done.

Throwing a punch at his chest that as soon as it made contact erupted in flames. I gave a follow up kick but he blocked that and jumped away.

'Damnit he managed to block it with his arm'. Looking at his left arm it was definitely burned and hurting but not unusable. He was mad now too. 'Fuck'

Quickly rushing towards him again to not give him any rest time, I launched and kick to his face which he swiftly blocked and punched me in the stomach sending me flying back.

Landing on my feet and quickly reorientating myself I looked up to see him grimace in pain. I attacked his left arm as soon as my kick was blocked to at least slow him down, it looked like it was out of commission now.

Quickly scanning the battlefield I saw that Iwai was done with her battle and seemed to be heading this way. 'Great'

Seeing a flash of movement out of the corner of my eyes I realized I had mad a mistake. Already on top of me in the time I took to focus up he punched me and sent me straight into a tree.

'Rookie mistake'. I thought while dazed from his punch. The last thing I saw before I lost consciousness was Iwai and Riichi both attacking the chūnin and Matsuo rushing towards me.

MY BOREDOM IS BACK!!

Nah I'm joking, I was kinda busy with school and stuff after I posted that last chapter and took a break that got outta hand but I'm back thanks to the very kind review of damionlott60 you kinda inspired me to get back on this.

So I stopped midway in this chapter before and because I was stupid and didn't make a story out line so I forgot where I was going with this chapter so I had to make the second half from scratch but I hoped you enjoyed regardless. Writing a fight scene was way harder than I expected so let me know how you guys thought about it.

Like I said I didn't have a story outline and only a general idea of stuff and some specific scene in my head so if you guys want to see something incorporated, pm and I'll see if It'll fit in the story.

Peace
