The war on Kumo battlefront ends with Konoha's victory. All of the forces of Konoha retreats as they prepare for the aftermath of the war.Inside the Meeting Room,All the members of the council together with Village elders gather in a conference in presence of Fire Daimyo."I will be stepping down from the position of Hokage. I have guided the village for long and want to retire now." Hiruzen states the issue of the meeting.All elders and council members are surprised by this sudden announcement and they discuss fervently among themselves. Fire Daimyo waves his fan in front of his face as he speaks,"The Third Hokage was doing a fine job leading the village. I don't see any problem with his rule, then why the sudden request to step down from the Hokage's position?"Before anybody could continue the further discussion, Danzo chimes in between as he speaks,"Truth be told, the Third Hokage was too soft and he allowed the village to be pushed in a corner. This Third Great Ninja War only led to casualties and a lack of manpower and resources for Land of Fire. We obtained absolutely no benefit from the war as Hiruzen pushed the agenda of peace.""I disagree with you Danzo-sama. While Third Hokage-sama may have his shortcomings, his decision of peace prevented further casualties in the war. If not for peace with Iwagakure, Konoha wouldn't last long against the combined attack of Three Hidden Villages." Shikaku interrupts Danzo as he explains Hiruzen's decision."But haven't we suffered already. If we would have pushed a little bit harder, we would have secured victory on all three fronts and Land of Fire would have dominated the Shinobi world for years to come." Danzo refutes Shikaku's claim as he answers with his opinion."Today, we aren't here to debate on my incompetency, rather we are here to decide the Fourth Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village." Hiruzen taps his fingers on the table as he gathers everyone's attention."Ohoho!…I agree with Third Hokage's words. We are here to decide the Fourth Hokage. I would like to ask if anyone of you have any candidates for the position." The Fire Daimyo waves his fan as he laughs."I recommend Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin for the position of Hokage.' Danzo nominates Orochimaru."Orochimaru is truly a genius in this age of war. But he isn't a suitable candidate to lead the village as Hokage. A sinister will and greed lurk deep behind those eyes. That's why I am not in favor of Orochimaru as Hokage." Hiruzen refutes Danzo's nomination as he stares at Danzo with a pensive expression."Do any of you have any other candidate for Hokage's position?" Fire Daimyo waves his fan as he looks towards the rest of the Council members."I would like to nominate Sakumo Hatake for the position of Hokage." Shikaku presents his opinion.Fervor discussion starts among council members as they discuss the prospect of Sakumo as Hokage."He will be a great Hokage. His strength is comparable to a Kage and his achievements in a war far surpass anyone else. I support Shikaku's opinion." One of the council members supports the notion."Yes, Sakumo Hatake will be a fine Hokage. His achievements, his skill, and strength, all of them are Kage class and his character is great." Another council member agrees with the notion."Have all of you forgotten about the event which happened three years ago. Due to his incompetency, Land of Fire suffered a huge loss, that event even further strengthened over enemies. It was because of that event, Kumo dared to bare its fangs at Konoha." Danzo reminded them of the incident which happened three years ago."Third Hokage, you have served the village for many years. So, do you have any particular person in your mind, who is suitable for the position of Hokage?" The Fire Daimyo folds his fan as he looks at Hiruzen."I recommend Minato Namikaze for the position of Hokage. He has enough strength and contribution during the war to become a Hokage." Hiruzen states his opinion."A pupil of Jiraiya, one of the Three Legendary Sannins. That is a good choice indeed." Koharu agrees with Hiruzen.Danzo stands from his seat as he faces off against Hiruzen,"Minato is still too young for Hokage's position. He is still inexperienced when it comes to leading a Village.""Danzo-san seems like you are nit-picking against every candidate others nominate for the position. I wonder if you want Hokage's position for yourself." Fire Daimyo waves his fan in front of his face as he curiously looks for Danzo's response."That's….that's not like it. What I meant to say is we need to consider age and experience when it comes to such an important matter." Danzo answers while flustering."If you don't have any other complaints, then let us hear Third Hokage's reasoning for his choice." Fire Daimyo continues."He emerged victorious at the Battle of Kannabi Bridge and distinguished himself by leading the way to end of the Third Great Shinobi War. He faced off against a thousand enemy shinobis all by himself and repelled their invasion. That's enough contribution to assign him the position of Hokage." Hiruzen explains his choice."I am opposed to this notion!" Danzo strongly refutes the notion."What about the rest of you?" Fire Daimyo unfold the fan in front of his face as he stares at everyone."We don't have any problem with Third Hokage's nomination." All of the present council members agreed with Hiruzen."It is decided then, Minato Namikaze will be the Fourth Hokage of the Leaf." Fire Daimyo folds his fan as he concludes the meeting.--At Konoha's mourning ceremony,All the ninjas gathered with their respective clans as they mourn for their loved ones. I stood together with my parents and family as we mourn. We stood near Fugaku as we closed our eyes for silent prayer."We managed an armistice, but the sacrifice was just too great. Lord Third intends to take full responsibility and retire. There are voices in support of installing you, Leader as the Fourth Hokage. Please…" One of the Uchiha clan members raised the issue."Enough talk" Fugaku silences the member as he continues to close his eyes."What should we do about Kakashi Hatake? He doesn't belong to our clan but possesses the Sharingan" Another member raises the issue of Kakashi.I clenched my fists when I heard about this.'How can they think of such a thing during such kind of event?'"I understand Obito Uchiha fought bravely. Let's respect his wishes."We should bring the Sharingan back to the Uchiha…." The clan member continues."The war just ended. Do not sow seeds of discord." Fugaku rebukes the Uchiha member."Yes, sir.""We finally have peace. We will persevere to maintain it. That is the duty of the Uchiha clan…" Fugaku ends the conversation.I spot Itachi moving towards Orochimaru. I follow Itachi as I am curious to see Orochimaru."Grieving over the dead is meaningless. If there' any meaning in death, it's to take advantage of it." Orochimaru mutters as he stares at many graves."What is the meaning of life?" Itachi questions Orochimaru."There is none. There's meaning in life if it's eternal." Orochimaru replies to Itachi."Then wouldn't that make life meaningless, if there is no one left alive except you. If you have eternal life then wouldn't that be like a cursed life where you see your loved ones pass one by one." I interrupt Orochimaru as I look at him.Orochimaru has pale skin, golden eyes with slitted pupils, purple markings around his eyes, and fang-like teeth. He also has pronounced cheekbones and straight waist-length black hair with some lock covering and framing his face over to his shoulders.As I am inspecting Orochimaru, he is also inspecting me with a curious expression. After staring at me for a while, Orochimaru starts to retreat as I hear him muttering,"What a fine Specimen!"A shiver ran through my back as I heard those creepy lines.--Inside an underground Building,Orochimaru is performing some experiments as he pours a transparent liquid from a test tube in a conical flask. The liquid turns blue as Orochimaru jots down something in a logbook.Danzo walks beside Orochimaru as he speaks,"Everything in this situation is going the way the Hiruzen wants.""The Third Hokage just intends to use Minato as a puppet and intend to keep ruling the Hidden Leaf Village." Orochimaru continues experimenting as he converses with Danzo."At this rate, the leaf will have no future, whatsoever." Danzo angrily accuses Hiruzen."It's not over yet. So don't give up. If my research is successful, then I think it will be quite easy to cease power within the Hidden Leaf." Orochimaru consoles Danzo"Humm…" Danzo frowns and stares at Orochimaru."But to grasp such power, much stronger measures are going to have to be prepared." Orochimaru entices Danzo."When the time comes, those measures will be ready. However, it still isn't time yet.Danzo walks out of Orochimaru's hidden lab as he mutters to himself,"Frankly, if he was popular at all. This would be much easier."Danzo walks to his Root Subordinates as he orders,"Let's go, Kinoe, Kinoto, and Hinoe.""Sir, yes sir."Danzo and his subordinates dash off towards Leaf village as Orochimaru stares at Danzo's back and smiles to himself.
Early in the next morning, a Chunnin places a board in front of the Hokage office. The board reads,"I Hiruzen Sarutobi, hereby announce my resignation as Hokage and appoint Minato Namikaze as the Fourth Hokage."Clamour rang among citizens of the leaf as they read this notice."Third Hokage-sama is retiring from Hokage's position and had elected the Fourth Hokage." Someone among the crowd shouts."Minato Namikaze isn't he the Yellow Flash of Leaf. He would be a fine Hokage." Another person yells."I don't think he is a suitable candidate for the position. Isn't he still too young to take the mantle of Hokage? I mean he would have to bear huge responsibilities." An old man disagrees with the decision.I secretly activate my Sharingan to check the man. I suspect he is Danzo in disguise. After careful inspection, I conclude that he is just another conservative senile geezer."Minato-Sensei will be a fine Hokage. If you think he is too young, then remember the Third Hokage-sama was only twenty years old when he became Hokage. Facts speak louder Old man." I scoffed at that old man as I moved on to my training."This…that kid has a point. The third Hokage was also young when he became Hokage. I think Minato Namikaze will be a fine Hokage." Another person agrees with me."Yeah, just look at the contribution of Yellow Flash in the Third War. He single-handedly stopped the invasion by a thousand Shinobi of Iwa." Another person speaks in favor.Slowly, the public opinion sways in Minato's favor as people split in a group of two. One group favors Minato whereas another group is in disagreement.Later in the noon, on the rooftop of Hokage's Office,In presence of all clan leaders and village shinobis, Hiruzen passes the Hokage's hat to Minato as he resigns from the position."From this day onwards, Minato Namikaze will be appointed as the Fourth Hokage. I will be counting on you, Fourth Hokage.""I pledge my life to it," Minato responds to Hiruzen as he walks towards villagers.Minato addresses the villagers as he gives the usual Hokage speech and pledges about responsibility. After the speech, everyone returns to their work as many clan leaders start to plan out their future courses of action and political stance.--A week has passed by since Minato donned the mantle of Hokage. I haven't been able to meet him for the entire week.I will meet with Kushina whenever I pay a visit to their house."Big-sister Kushina. Minato-san is way too busy after he became Hokage. Aren't you sad that he doesn't have enough time for his family?" I ask Kushina.Kushina smiles as she replies,"It was Minato's dream to become Hokage. He is finally able to fulfill his dream, I am happy for him. After a month, when he has gained control over the majority of the forces and anbu, he will have more time to spare."I nod to her as I return, "See you later, Big-sister Kushina!""Bye, Izuna-kun."I walk towards the training ground as I think about the future. It will be a while before the Nine-tails attack and Obito's scheme. I have to train my Susanoo in this time.I can combat against Nine-tails only with my Susanoo. Maybe, I should join Anbu to better protect Minato and Kushina during the attack. I will ask Minato-san to appoint me as his security.With such thoughts, I moved to the Training ground and start to train in my Susanoo. To prevent any outside intrusion and interrupt my training, I set up a barrier with Fuinjutsu and an Optical illusion with my light style as I train.After the war ended, all of the Nations and Hidden Villages are in the process of recuperating. It will be at least a month before missions will start to appear again. Till then, I can just train myself a little more. I have to digest all of the harvests from the War.I activate my Mangekyo Sharingan as I start to infuse chakra around myself and shape it in the form of Susanoo from my memory. When I first unlocked the Mangekyo Sharingan, the information about Susanoo just popped into my brain.Susanoo is more of a technique related to Uchiha Bloodline then Mangekyo Sharingan. The only way to gain access to Susanoo is through unlocking Mangekyo Sharingan. Even if your lose your Mangekyo Sharingan, you can still use the technique as it is related to Uchiha Bloodline.Also, I noted that only people with pure Uchiha bloodline are capable of using Susanoo. You need the Uchiha chakra to use Susanoo.I start to form the Chakra construct from my memory. The process is very hard as it requires great Chakra control to shape the Susanoo. The process starts to strain nerves around my eyes as a large amount of Chakra is directed through them.A large ribcage with a mix of gold and silver color starts to encase me. A skeletal arm sprouts from the right side of my Susanoo as I try to control it. After practicing for a while, I get a hang of it. The arm feels like an extension of me. I move around with my basic skeletal Susanoo, I grab a tree and easily tear it into the half with the arm.The arm clenches into a fist as I smash it into a large boulder. A large hole, the size of Susanoo's fist appears in the boulder. Cracks appear on the boulder and it breaks apart.Now for the defense, I make a shadow clone and the clone starts to make a Rasengan.BoomThe Rasengan smashes into my Susanoo. Some small cracks appear at the point of impact, no major damage. My Susanoo can tank an A-rank jutsu for a while. I dissipate my Susanoo and start to practice other nature transformations Kekkai Genkai.--A month slowly passes and missions start to appear one after another. I grabbed a B-rank mission and decide to go solo on it. The mission was nothing difficult, a bunch of chunnin levels ninjas are assaulting people in the land of waves.I finished it quickly and returned to Hokage's office to report the completion."Oh, I see!""Yes, sir…I have never seen Kakashi like that before sir.""Good thing that, I secretly sent you along as backup.""You got that right. I wanna be able to help him in a time like this. That's what it truly means to be an eternal rival.""You have already done a lot to help. Please leave the rest to me now, Guy."I overhear Minato and Guy's conversation about Kakashi. I open the Hokage's office door as I barge in."Let me help too, Kakashi is my friend and I want to help him too.""Izuna!...weren't you on a mission?" Minato is surprised to see me."I have already completed my mission and I am here to report about it." I take out a scroll from my pocket and present it to Minato."Ok! Then follow me along to meet Kakashi. He is in leaf village hospital right now." Minato flickers towards the hospital as I follow him.Minato and I reach the hospital as I spot Kakashi reading a book while lying on the bed. I read the title of the book, 'How a Shinobi should die'.Kakashi is startled to see us as he quickly hid the book."Minato-sensei,… I mean Lord Fourth. Izuna, what are you doing here?""You may address me as you always have Kakashi. You know, there are some people within the village, who think I am not qualified for this position and oppose me. I came here because I want to assign you to the Anbu under my direct control." Minato's words surprise Kakashi as he asks,"But why me?""Because I want you to be my right-hand man Kakashi," Minato replies to Kakashi."Minato-san, I would also like to join the anbu and be in your personal security unit." I also request to Minato."Huh…" Minato is surprised by my request as he asks,"Izuna, you are still too young for the Anbu. Tell me, why you want to join the anbu?""I heard that the pay-out of Hokage's personal guard is quite high. So, I also want to join the anbu and be your guard." I chuckle slightly as I reply to him.Minato sighs at my response and replies,"Ok! It's fine if you don't want to tell me the real reason. I trust you Izuna. But are you sure, you are ready for the darkness of Anbu.""Minato-san, I have painted the battlefield red with my enemy's blood during the Third Shinobi War. I have killed countless people in the war to the point that I got the nickname, 'Silent Shinigami' during the war. I think I am ready for the Anbu." I speak with a firm expression on my face."Alright then, I will write a recommendation letter for both of you," Minato answers as he teleports from the hospital."What'Cha doing, Kakashi? Reading such a depressing book."I pull out the book from Kakashi's bed as I read it's title aloud."How a shinobi should die! Uncle Sakumo won't be happy to see you like this. I am sure he is worried about you. Come out of your depression, will you? Look at all your friends who are worried about you."I burn the book with my Fire Chakra as the door to the room is flung open.Guy, Asuma, Shizune, Kurenai, Anko enters the room as they bombard Kakashi with many questions. I smile at their interaction as I join them in the fray.
In a hidden passageway inside a hidden cavern,Kakashi and Izuna walk to an underground building with a huge sign for 'Anbu Black Ops' in kanji. They are inside the headquarters of Anbu.Both of us walks to a counter near a heavy metal gate. Kakashi puts down a scroll on the counter and we wait for a response.A masked Anbu grabs the scroll from the counter and retreats. We wait for a while for the Anbu. After a few more minutes, the Anbu returns with two sets of equipment as he speaks,"Here is a set of equipment for both of you.""Thank you!" both of us thanks to him as he continues,"Change in your equipment and meet with the Captain within the next ten minutes."We pick our set and moves to a remote corner of the building to equip our Anbu gear. The gear consists of an Anbu vest, a pair of arm guards, a porcelain mask, and a top-quality blade.After we change into our gear, Kakashi knocks slightly on the metal door. After a while, the door opens and an anbu leads our way."This way, Captain is waiting for you."We walk for a while inside various passages in the Anbu Headquarters before we enter a room."Captain, the recruits are here." The Anbu informs the Captain as he returns to his work.A masked Anbu walks up to us as he speaks,"So, you both are the recruits recommended by Hokage-sama, Kakashi Hatake, and Izuna Uchiha. Both of you possess the Sharingan and one of you even a moniker of 'Silent Shinigami'.Our Anbu isn't a place for a soft-hearted person. It is a place where darkness resides and many top secrets missions of the village are carried. We are an elite division that demands only the best among the best. Both of you will be trained for a month in various fields and at the end of the training, you will be assigned a division based on your specialty.Further information will be provided to you by your trainer. After your training, you will be branded with the mark of Anbu to inaugurate you as an official Anbu member. Now, go an meet your trainer."The Captain just directed us towards the training hall and left. After a while, an anbu member with a tall and bulky body appears before us as he introduces himself,"I am your trainer for the next month. Before we start, I would like to inform you about the various divisions of the Anbu. There are no ranks within the Anbu and only your merit and experience determine your hierarchy. Now, let's start with the introduction of various divisions of Anbu.There are seven divisions within the Anbu which are, the Falcon Division responsible for hunting missing-nins, the owl division responsible for Stealth and Information retrieval, the Bear division responsible for Protection and Investigation.The Cat division is responsible for Stealth and Assassination. The Frog division responsible for Medical and crisis, they are Combat Medics. The Wolf division is responsible for Torture and Interrogation and the Dragon Division responsible for Organization and Gathering of the rest of the Anbus.There is another hidden division known as Root which isn't part of the normal Anbu. It is a separate division under Danzo-sama, one of the elders of the Village.Now before we start your training, I would like to ask the Anbu unit, both of you would like to join. It is necessary as both of you will be trained accordingly.""I would join the Cat division." I immediately reply to him."I would also join the Cat division," Kakashi replies to the Trainer.The Trainer looks at Kakashi's mask and hesitates for a while before he speaks,"Looks like you need to change your mask."Kakashi wore a Dog mash whereas I had a tiger mask."It's fine, I will continue with this mask," Kakashi replies to Trainer."Very well, then we will start your training. But first, let me tell you more about the Cat division.The Anbus of Cat division can be coined as Assassins. They show their power through their stealth and Quick-killing. These are the heavy-duty anbu members as they are required to assassinate any powerful person. As a cat division member, you must move in and out without ever being caught, without ever being noticed and no sign of your work shall be traced back to Village in case of an investigation.For the next month, I will train you in stealth and Silent killing. Before we start, show me your hiding skills."I make a Ram seal as my body starts to fade away,'Light Style: Camouflage Cloak'I disappear from the Trainer's vision as his mouth is gaped open. He frantically tries to search for me, but after searching for a while, he is unable to find me."Good kid! Your stealth skills are top-notch. But I want you to hide your presence without the use of Ninjutsu. Only when you become one with the shadows without using any Ninjutsu would your stealth training be counted as complete. Anbus face various situation where they are unable to use Chakra or lest they may warn the enemy sensor."I re-appear before he asks me again to hide from senses. This way both of our Anbu training starts. Kakashi and I are quick-learners. Within a month, both of us mastered all the Techniques and skills of Anbu.--After a month, the Trainer nods at us in satisfaction as he speaks,"Call me Tatsu. I am a part of the Dragon division. Both of you are officially a part of Anbu now. You will receive your first mission from the Hokage-sama shortly."Tatsu summons another Anbu member who carves an Anbu tattoo on our left shoulder."Welcome to the Anbu corps. Both of you will be assigned to a Team soon. Follow him to meet your new team."We follow the guy who branded us. This guy wore a bear mask as he speaks,"These people from Dragon division are quite a handful. They are dubbed as 'Worded Bards' among the rest of the Anbu. I am Kuma and from today onwards you will be Inu and Tora based on your masks."He leads us to a room with other Anbu members and speaks,"Welcome to Team Ro, rookies. Now let us depart for Hokage's Office. We will be receiving our mission shortly."All of us flicker out as we move towards Hokage-Office. We gather in Minato's office as he starts to explain,"Recently, various reports of Shinobi attacks have been reported at the borders. Many shinobi from small villages survived by taking advantage of the turbulent situation.They have no wish to be controlled by the nations of fire, wind, and earth. So, I have no doubt that they will continue to cause disruptions. However, this peace was won through the sacrifice of many. So, we must maintain it. And for that, I am going to count on all of you.""Yes sir, sir." All of us shout in unison as we start to move towards borders.--At Land of fire borders,In a watchtower of the Border Patrol team, three Konoha shinobis are engaged in combat against Five Shinobis dressed in Iwagakure's shinobi outfit. They are about to finish them off when our team interrupts them."Reinforcements, retreat!" the enemy ninjas dashes off in the forest as we approach the tower."Thanks for that, looks like the Hidden Stone has betrayed us." One of the Jounin thanks us.One of the anbu members of Owl division picks up the shuriken and check it."This isn't a Hidden Stone Shuriken." The anbu concludes."You mean they were fakes. Why would…""Because of the rift between Stone and Leaf." The anbu interrupts the Jounin.Kakashi jumps off from the tower as he chases the imposters."Hey, don't chase them too far." The anbu members try to stop Kakashi. Kakashi makes some hand signs,'Lightning Release: Chidori Lightning Cutter'"I will look after him." I jump from the tower as I assure my team.'Swift Release: God Speed'I disappear from their vision as I follow Kakashi. Kakashi starts to attack the imposters as he finishes them off one by one. Kakashi removes his mask as he gets ready to kill the final Ninja."The Sharingan, You are the infamous cold-blooded Kakashi." the imposter trembles in fear upon seeing Kakashi.When Kakashi is about to land a blow on the final imposter, I catch his hand as I stop him from attacking."Stop Kakashi! We need to get intel from him."I remove my mask as I calm down Kakashi. At this point, the Imposter had a breakdown as he identifies me,"The mutated Sharingan, you are the 'Silent Shinigami' of the leaf.""Oh! You know about me."I walk towards the imposter as I smile at him.'Genjutsu: Sharingan'The enemy ninja starts to tremble violently as he wets his clothing in terror."I don't even want to know, what kind of weird Genjutsu, you put him into." Kakashi remarks."Oh! He has become a Goblin Slayer or not." I answer to Kakashi."Whatever!" Kakashi puts back his mask as our mission is over.
mission." I wear my mask again.
"Oh! He is that same kid, Minato. So, you have joined Anbu. You must have some extraordinary skills to be able to join the Anbu at such a young age." Jiraiya points at me as he immediately recognizes me.
"Oh! You knew him, Jiraiya." Hiruzen asks Jiraiya in surprise.
"Yes! I meet him before the war when you summoned us back to the village. This kid created an S-Rank Jutsu on his own." Jiraiya talks about me.
"What?" Hiruzen is surprised to hear this. He stares at me for a while before he nods to himself.
"Still, he is a kid. I don't want a kid to join us on an S-rank mission and lose his life for no reason." Tsunade interrupts the conversation as she points at me.
"I don't agree with your decision to include him in our mission. Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and I are enough for this mission." Tsunade continues.
Orochimaru stays silent during the entire conversation.
"He is an Anbu Tsunade. Also, he has earned the moniker of 'Silent Shinigami' during the war. That speaks for his prowess." Hiruzen explains to Tsunade.
"But, sensei…."
"No, buts… this is an order, Tsunade. Also, you will need his assistance during the mission. He is a part of Anbu and is skilled in tracking and assassination." Hiruzen rebukes Tsunade as he explains the mission.
"Recently, various reports of missing shinobis appeared in the village. To investigate the issue, Minato and I deployed a unit of Anbu. One of our Anbu units uncovered an underground Laboratory where some unethical and forbidden experiments are carried out without the consent of the Village. Upon further investigation, the perpetrator is found to be one of your comrade and childhood friend Hiruko.
Your mission is to uncover his motives if he doesn't comply then assassinate him. Keep in mind he is practicing a Kinjutsu, so you should be on alert when you face him.
Here is the location of his lab. Orochimaru will be your leader for the mission. Good luck with your mission."
Hiruzen passes a scroll to Orochimaru as he dismisses us. All of us flickers away from the office as we move towards the entrance of the village.
Orochimaru leads us towards the laboratory as we follow him.
"Kid, you better stay out of this mission. Such dangerous missions aren't for kids like you. You may lose your life unnecessarily." Tsunade warns me.
I am pissed off by her attitude. I know that she cares about me, but we are in the middle of a mission and the Hokage has approved my skills. Honestly, what's her problem?
'Swift Release: God Speed'
I disappear from my position as I reappear behind Tsunade with a kunai on her neck. Orochimaru and Jiraiya are stunned to see my speed. Tsunade is perplexed, but she calms down as she remarks,
"Although, your speed is impressive for your age. But it is still not enough to beat me."
She turns around and clenches her fist as she tries to punch me. I dodge her punch as she shatters a tree from her punch.
'Genjutsu: Sharingan'
I cast a genjutsu on her to prevent her from attacking me. She easily dispels my genjutsu after a few seconds.
'Her Chakra control is perfect. I have yet to reach the perfect level, but I am close. Guess genjutsu from normal Sharingan can't affect her and I don't want to use my Mangekyo Sharingan unnecessarily just over a small dispute. I just have to convince her of my skills.'
I start to knead Chakra in my palms as I form a seal, I appear in front of Tsunade as I dodge one of her punch and hit her arm with my palm.
'Fuinjutsu: Chakra Suppression Seal'
A seal starts to spread over her arms as it suppressed her chakra. Ignoring the seal, she continued to punch me. Her punch still packed power despite no chakra. I redirected the shock from her punch to ground through Shock Release as I ate her punch without flinching.
Tsunade is surprised to see this. I create Rasengan and adds a little Lightning Chakra to it and throws it towards Tsunade. My Rasengan disappears as Tsunade snorts at me.
"Watch out Tsunade, his jutsu is invisible to eyes," Jiraiya warns Tsunade.
Tsunade ducks down and avoids my Rasengan. I purposely aimed it above Tsunade to avoid her. I don't want to exhaust her before the mission.
Boom…
The Rasengan collides with a nearby tree and it shatters it. It continues and creates a large crater on impact. Tsunade is shocked to see the damage caused by my jutsu.
"Tsunade, that's the S-Rank jutsu, he created on his own. And from the looks of things, it seems like he didn't infuse enough Chakra in the jutsu. He held back a lot." Jiraiya informs Tsunade, and he turns to me.
"Kid, you can use Fuinjutsu. I thought you Uchiha avoided any Non-Uchiha techniques. Most of the Uchihas I know about pride in their techniques and refuse to use any other techniques."
"I am close to Grandmaster level in Fuinjutsu and I don't discriminate between techniques as long as they aren't against my morals," I reply to Jiraiya as I walk towards the lab.
"Hold up, kid! You are close to the Grandmaster level! Even I am only a master. What kind of monster has that Minato raised?" Jiraiya complains as he follows me.
"Interesting, very interesting." Orochimaru licks his lips as he stares at Izuna with a hungry gaze.
A chill ran through my spine as I turn around to see a creepy expression on Orochimaru's face.
