Check out Animescale on youtube for how I am scaling Mika...
This mission I thought long and hard about, it is going to be good!
The Next day after Mika's promotion
"What is the mission, Boss lady?" Mika asked the Hokage with Hanabi at his side. Instead of allowing Mika to train Hanabi for any set of time, he had been called to a mission with his apprentice at his side.
The woman before him looked grim. "A few years ago, the Village received reports of a dangerous, explosive berserker rage brought on by one boy that destroyed a great deal of the Fire Temple. Nothing was made of it, nothing odd was discovered about the boy in question. However, recently, as in this morning, someone slipped the files to my attention. Reading this notice, I realized that something must be done of it just to be sure that there is no risk of it repeating.
As a level three medic, I am sending you to the Fire Temple to check over the child that had this berserker rage. Do everything in your power to determine the cause. Hanabi normally would be kept here, but her eyes are powerful even by Hyuuga standards. She can assist you in discovering the cause. Take her with you. If you cannot determine anything, return with the boy in tow."
Mika nodded, bowing low with Hanabi mimicking him. "I will not fail you."
"Be sure you do not, this could be a massively important mission. With so much recent trauma to the village, and so much trauma in our future, we must ascertain any and all struggles and deal with them early. Prevention is key here. What makes this worse, more... important is that the boy in question is the son of Kazuma, an insurrectionist that died years ago. He was a member of the Guardian Shinobi Twelve and planned to overthrow the Hokage to unify the Land of Fire.
I cannot tell you the importance of this mission, I cannot stress it enough. You must succeed. Now go, go and finish what has failed already. Oh and take this scroll, i wt will get you to the gates."

Danzo wanted to cackle as he, using his Crystal orb, watched Mika and Hanabi crossed the village gates. 'There is it, you are on the path to my control. What Fu discovered is more than enough to control you, dear Mika. You are not like others, that need to be harmed or sweet talked or bribed. You must be challenged, given the means to make yourself great, to push past your limits, and gain skill and renown on your own. This is but one path for you, a path I am opening up for you. Take it and become all I need you to be. I will make you my puppet, one way, or another.'
"""
It took about six hours of moving at Shinobi pace to reach the Fire Temple. When they did, seeing it's ornate walls, Hanabi tapped into her Hyuuga heritage and activated her Byakugan. "There is chakra running through these walls, a barrier ninjutsu I think."
Mika nodded. "Likely, I guess a sealing matrix is a part of it. Monks use seals quite frequently."
"Huh, I didn't know that."
"Yup, that, elemental jutsu and taijutsu. They are very effective fighters too, more simple, but effective. Many join the Guardian Shinobi Twelve." Hanabi nodded as they walked up the temple stairs, walking straight into the open gates. They were suddenly greeted with the sound of grunts from fighting ninja monks, the smell of sweat and the gaze of a man Mika knew from the Bingo book.
Smiling, and knowing he would be horribly outmatched if they fought, Mika bowed. "Chiriku, it is an honor to meet you."
The man approached. He was tall with a long bald head with thick brows, the typical ninja monk outfit and a sash from his days among the Guardian Shinobi Twelve. "Leaf ninja, how may I serve you today?"
Mika held out the scrolls he had been given. "Lady Tsunade sends us with this. My name is Mika, and this is my apprentice Hanabi Hyuuga."
"Apprentice, but you are what eleven?"
"Almost thirteen but yes, I am young. I am also very skilled, and a well trained Meidc. Hanabi has one of the strongest Byakugan in recent history, even at her young age. She can help me dearly with this mission."
The man nodded and read the scroll, sighing after a moment. "Why now?"
"Chance really, the papers happened to go across her desk."
The man sighed once more. "Sora!" He called out and a boy with blue hair turned their way from where he was sparring with his comrades. "Come here please, there is much we need to discuss with these Leaf Ninja."
And so the boy hurried over... carrying with him notes of hatred in the eyes of every other person. Hate, indifference, and fear similar to how the world looked at Naruto. Mika's stomach dropped, and he knew that something very, very dark was going on here.
Feigning a grin, Mika bowed. "Hello, Sora, it is an honor to meet you."
"Thh, whatever."
Chiriku smacked his head. "Don't be rude, this ninja... well, he is a skilled medic from the Hokage's note, and he is here to help you."
"With what?"
Chiriku sighed. "Have you ever wondered why so, so many here seem to loathe you, for reason you cannot remember... I think it is time you were told why. Follow me."
The boy twitched and looked ready to scream, in fact he growled, but he obeyed his master enough and followed into the temple proper. Mika followed along, with Hanabi at his side. Soon they were in a powerfully sealed room. "This room is sealed to be something of a fortress, it is where we hide important things, or would if we had to. You can work with Sora here."
Mika approached Sora. "Hanabi will use her eyes to examine you, head to foot, specifically your chakra coils, while I examine you overall. All the while, Chiriku will tell you what he has to."
Sora nodded impatiently, grunting. "Why do they have to be here, they are't of the temple! It's none of their business."
Chiriku sighed. "It is their business now, I am sad to say,.. now... let me tell you what happened and why people, to no fault of your own, hate you."
Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.
This was a lot of fun to write.
Love, your Ninja Overlord,
Mika.
