Chapter 31: Escort Mission and First Blood
A/N:- An extra chapter for you on weekend for reaching a million views.
-----------
It has been three months since my first mission. I turned six a few weeks ago. My training and missions were going hand by hand. I have hit a plateau in my progress and I can't seem to improve further.
I can currently fight against a normal jounin without breaking a sweat. My advantage is my high chakra reserves and tons of jutsus of each element I have mastered. My disadvantages lie in my small body and no real battle experience.
I have completed my space element training with Minato and I am currently progressing slowly in Fuinjutsu. There is a large difference in the Expert level and the Master level. Being able to use Chakra as a material to create Fuinjutsu seals is a big advantage. I am just waiting for my growth spurt to induce new changes to my body and I think after my first growth spurt I will grow relatively fast with the increase in Chakra capacity and increment in body strength.
After doing a ton of D-rank missions, the Hokage decides to give us a C-Rank mission. Honestly, I am going insane with so many D-rank missions. I haven't stepped out of the village yet.
This mission came right on time. The mission seemed to be not too difficult. The son of the Daimyo of the Land of Tea came to vacation in Land of fire. Now for his return trip, he needs the help of some escorts for his safe travel. The mission is issued as a C-Rank mission in the Hokage office.
Hiruzen just issues this mission to our team. I am excited to venture out of Konoha. The journey to Land of Tea from Konoha would be seven days long, so Tendo-Sensei asked us to prepare our supplies in advance.
I return home and inform my parents about the mission.
"It's time for you to adventure out of Konoha. Beware of everything when you are out on a mission. Many times, any unsuspecting passerby can turn out to be an enemy. Since this is a C-Rank mission, take some poison antidotes with you. The bandits and thugs you will confront during the mission usually coat their weapons with lethal poison to fight against Ninjas. Also, prepare your ration and all other necessities with you."
Father lectured me for an entire two hours about what to do and what not to do during the mission. I jotted down everything in my brain as I am a complete noob when it comes to experience. Father just passed down his experience to me.
Mother prepared some dry food for me which will be useful during the mission. I placed everything in a storage scroll and I am ready for my first mission.
Next day in the morning,
All of us meet at that entrance of the village as the convoy of the Tea Daimyo's son departs. The son of Daimyo sits in a carriage prepared for him as we travel. The carriage was surrounded by twelve guards who protected the carriage. Another two carriages containing food and other necessities together with various other items followed closely. The daimyo's son's carriage was in middle.
The son of Daimyo remove the curtain of his carriage as he notices me and question,
"What's with this kid here? Is he lost or something? Do we need to call his mama? How can he even protect anyone, he is still at the age when he should just hide in his mother's embrace. I asked Konoha for competent Ninjas and they sent me a kid who requires a nanny."
A tick appears on my forehead as I am pissed by his behavior. Tendo assures him as he replies,
"There is no need for you to worry about anything. Izuna here is a certified Ninja of our village and he is a young genius who graduated early. This speaks for his competency and skills. So, rest assured he can handle this mission."
Daimyo's son scoffs at this as he covers the carriage with the curtain and continues to travel. The carriages were moving slowly, we simply walk as we follow the carriage.
I am enjoying the sceneries as this was my first time out of Konoha. My Sharingan is active all the time as I searched for any suspicious activity.
Nothing suspecting happened until we reached the border of The Land of Tea. On the fourth day, since our departure, we finally entered the Land of Tea.
The convoy is moving through a steep valley as we went on full alert. This valley is the perfect spot for an ambush if the enemy wants to stop us.
Our hypothesis was right as large wooden logs began to drop from atop the hill. I immediately kneaded some Chakra and made hand signs,
'Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique'
I spewed out a large ball of fire as it burnt down the logs. Only ashes remained of the logs as they fell. The enemies were surprised to see this but they immediately reacted by throwing down large stones. I turned to my teammates waiting for their response. But they seemed to be clueless as they have no way to respond to the situation. I sighed at this and turned to Tendo,
Tendo immediately made some hand signs as he spewed out some water from his mouth,
'Water Style: Pressure Jet'
The pressure water in the form of a jet collided with the rocks and smashed them into dust. The descent of the rocks stopped as only small rock pieces and debris fell toward the carriage. These rock pieces were deflected by Ryo and Takeru as they jumped to protect the carriage.
Me and Tendo start to ascend the hill as we faced against the Bandits. Ryo and Takeru stayed behind to protect the carriage together with guards. I checked around for any Ninja as I activated my Heat vision together with Chakra's vision. I couldn't spot any signs of involvement of any ninja. The confrontation between us and Bandits begin. The bandits pose no threat to us. I checked their blades for poison and father was correct their weapons were coated in a purple liquid which I assumed is poison.
They were too slow to fight me while I was using my Sharingan. I summoned a kunai in the right hand as I start to fight them. I slashed the neck of one of the bandits as blood start to spew out from his neck. I felt disgusted at this as this was too much blood even for a medical student like me.
My stomach starts to churn as the contents of my breakfast were about to spew out. I held them in for a while as I finished off other bandits. Tendo was done on his side too as he approached me.
I nod to him as I run towards a nearby bush and start to puke out my breakfast. This is my first kill in this world and I felt very conflicted about this. In my previous world, I was a doctor whose job was to save lives and now in this current life, my job is to kill anyone who stops me from completing my mission.
I once again faced the reality of the situation as I muttered to myself,
"So, I have taken my first step to be embroiled in the chaos of this world. I breathed deeply to calm down my nerves as I walked out of the bush."
"Are you ok?" Tendo questioned me.
I nodded to him, "I am fine now. Let's regroup with Ryo and Takeru."
We descended the hill only to see dead bodies of a few bandits lying around. Takeru noticed us as he shouted,
"Sensei! We have a situation here." He pointed to the nearby Ryo who clutched one of his hands tightly.
"The leader of the Bandits was mixed within the few bandits who attacked us. We were able to deal with all of them as Ryo faced against the Bandit leader. During the battle, the bandit leader managed to land a cut on Ryo's left land. It was only a flesh wound so Ryo ignored it and fought the leader and finally killed him."
"Let me take a look at it." Tendo looked at his wound and frowned.
"He is poisoned by the weapon of the Bandit leader and the poison seems to be more potent than the rest."
I fished out an antidote and handed it to Ryo.
"Here have it, it is an antidote for the poison. I prepared some in case of emergency."
Ryo took the antidote and waited for the poison to neutralize. After a while, the poison stopped spreading but it wasn't neutralized. The entire left arm of Ryo turned purple as it starts to leak puss and rot.
I activated the X-ray and microscopic vision of my Sharingan as I checked his hand. The cells of his left hand were dying at a rapid rate as the poison corroded them. The muscles and veins start to shrivel as they leaked puss and start to rot. The nerves were badly damaged as they were affected by the poison. Overall it is a hopeless situation.
After checking the hand for a while, Tendo came to the same conclusion.
"Ryo you have to amputate the arm from the shoulder if you don't want the poison to spread further. It is too late for treatment, the poison is too potent."
"No, sensei! How can this be? My carrier as a ninja will be over and my arm, my arm…Nooo…" Ryo cried.
Tendo helped Ryo in amputating his arm as he cauterized the wound to ward off any remains of poison and tied the stump with bandages. I inhaled a deep breath as I looked at them,
'Thankfully, I wished for a healing factor comparable to Hashirama.'

Chapter 32: Taijutsu Training
After the mission was over, Ryo and Takeru decided to retire as a Ninja. They were too afraid to continue. Both of them lost their best friend in a previous C-Rank mission and in the next C-Rank mission one of them lost his arm. Ryo decided to help his father with his shop and Takeru joined him in the shop as a helper.
Tendo and I had no opinion about their decision. Thus, like this within four months my team disbanded. Hiruzen didn't pair me with any team again for a while. I stopped doing missions frequently as I focused solely on my Fuinjutsu training. Once in a while, I will go on some C-rank missions with other teams and even chunnins to gather some experience.
One year passed in the blink of any eye as I turned seven. I have finally reached the Master level in Fuinjutsu and Minato and Kushina were shocked to see this. Minato had progressed a lot too. He had successfully created the Rasengan ahead of time. Both Minato and Kushina have reached the Grandmaster level In Fuinjutsu.
My Sharingan evolved into three tomoe-Sharingan. I was really happy about this development. I exposed my Sharingan to my family and they were shocked to see my fully developed Sharingan. I just made an excuse that I have seen too many lives and deaths in my missions which acted as a trigger to awaken my Sharingan.
What shocked them more was my unusual Sharingan and father just called it off as a mutation. Such cases were rare in clans as hardly any mutation occurs and the person with mutated Sharingan usually goes blind shortly and in some worst-case scenarios, death may occur. I convinced them that I am fine and there is no harm to my body but they still insisted me on not using Sharingan regularly. I could only agree to their request but I don't need to comply with them.
Now I can start to train my other skills. I started practicing in Taijutsu under Uncle Sakumo. He isn't a very skilled Taijutsu user but his training still benefits me a lot.
'Maybe, I should find Might Duy now. He is the best Taijutsu user of the Shinobi world. Training with him will help me a lot as my body will be able to keep up with his training because of Hashirama's healing factor. I hope…'
To find Might Duy, I sneakily followed Might Guy. Might Guy went to his house which looked more like a hut than a proper house. I guess being a genin didn't earn Might Duy enough money to afford a proper house and also Might Duy practices in Eight Gates which burns him too much that he rests the entire next day.
I saw Might Duy practicing some kicking and punching techniques as Might Guy cheered him from sidelines. Might Duy turns in my direction as he immediately noticed me and instantly appeared in front of me.
'Fast! So, fast! He moved so fast without using any Chakra. I could only see his movements with my Sharingan. Without it, I doubt I could have tracked his movements.'
"Who are you, boy? I can see a vigorous youth in you. But it isn't good to peek on someone."
I scratched my head as I walk out of my hiding place. I have already thought of an excuse to convince him in case I got caught.
"Hello, I am Izuna Uchiha. I am a friend of Kakashi as I train with him. I want to learn Taijutsu and Kakashi told me that someone called Might Guy is the best Taijutsu user he ever met. So, I asked him more about you. I just followed Might Guy to see him train."
I lie with a straight-face as I point in Might Guy's direction.
"So, my eternal rival finally acknowledged him. I am so happy and fired up. I will train ten times more than my usual training."
Might guy start to shed a stream of tear as he hugs Might Duy.
"Youth! This is youth! I will cheer for you Guy. You are still in your youth!"
"Yes, father!"
Both father and son hug each other as they start to shed buckets of tears. I feel embarrassed by seeing their interaction as the atmosphere turned weird.
Cough…cough
I cough slightly to gather their attention as they look in my direction.
"Izuna boy, your youth is blooming. You have entered the spring of your youth. Seeing Guy fired up by your words, you can train in taijutsu with us. Your passion, determination, hard work, and youth will shine brighter in the entire Village. This is youth. But before that, I have to see that you are youthful enough."
I sweat-drop at his remark as weird thoughts enter my brain. I hug my body tightly as I retreat a step back.
"Let me see your youthfulness."
Might Duy walks towards me. I close my eyes to bear the assault, but nothing happened.
Might Duy just walks in front of me as he starts to inspect my body.
"Hum! Good body-fat ratio. Your muscles are compact enough and your body is in your first growth spurt."
He gives me a thumbs up and flashes a wide smile as his teeth gleam.
"Your youth is ready to shine but before that, you need to wear something better to train yourself."
He pulls green spandex from his belt as he thrusts it in my hand. I look at him awkwardly and I instantly reply,
"No, I won't wear this. I already have my training outfit, there is no need to wear anything else."
Might Duy slumps on his shoulder as he depressingly starts to mutter the benefits of this optimal Taijutsu training garment. I ignore him as I approach Might Guy.
"Guy, You are so cool to be able to enter and graduate from academy just by using Taijutsu."
Guy sheepishly scratches his head as he flashes a bright smile,
"It is all because of my youth. I train with my father and he motivated me to move further."
"Ok! Izuna boy, if you want to train with us. Come early tomorrow morning as we will start with a complete round around Konoha on our hands and then we will do the muscle training exercise. I will also make a diet and nutrition plan for you, follow that plan strictly. Now we will meet tomorrow morning."
With this, my hellish training with Might Duo started. When I got used to the normal training without sweating, Duy added weights to my legs and I start to pant again as I started the training in difficult mode.
Looking at the hell mode training of Might Duo, I could only shake my head as I started again.
Three more months passed by as I rapidly improved in Taijutsu. Duy taught me all of his techniques without holding back. Although he never mentioned anything about the Eight Gates. I can understand his sentiment but I am curious to see the technique and if I possible I would like to master it as my healing factor can compensate for the loss of vitality and other harms to the body.
But I doubt that Might Duy will teach me this technique. Well, he spent twenty years of his life creating, mastering and perfecting the technique. How can he pass such a powerful technique to an unknown person? For now, even Might Guy isn't aware of this Technique.
Guess, I have to see the technique for myself and perhaps try to copy it with Sharingan. Normal Sharingan can't copy the technique as Kakashi was able to learn only one gate release. Maybe, it was his body unable to bear the pressure of further gates or his inability to further copy the technique.
Duy practices this technique late at night. I can sneak out from my house and spy on Duy when he uses the Technique and records it with Sharingan. This idea came to my mind and I unanimously thought of putting it in the act.
Later at night, In Uchiha Clan compounds,
Inside his room, Izuna dressed completely in black clothes as he sneaks out from his room,
"Light Style: Camouflage Cloak"
Izuna's clothes start to cover in Light Chakra as his body starts to fade away and he turns invisible.
'I have further perfected my Light Style Techniques and created a few new ones in these past years. Now not even Byakugan and Sharingan can detect me as I am a part of light itself.'
I sneaked out of the Uchiha clan under the watchful eyes of Police Guards as I exited the clan. I walked along the streets as they were empty and jumping on rooftops may create unnecessary noise.
I reach the hut of Might Duy as I see him sneak out. Duy cautiously looks around as his gaze passed by me without any reaction. When he made sure no one is around, he starts to travel deeper into the forest.
I closely followed him without making any noise. Soon he reaches near a small waterfall on the Naka River. Duy stops for a while and starts to look around again.
After awhile Duy starts to do some warm-up exercise to condition his body. Duy clenches his fist as he crosses his hands in front of his chest.
"Haaah….Gate of Opening…..Gate of Healing….. Gate of Life….Gate of Pain…Gate of Limit…Open!"
Might Duy immediately opened five gates out of Eight as he starts to jump and kick for a while. After a few seconds, he concentrated again as his skin turned red and veins appeared on his entire body. His body was releasing a dense blue Chakra as his eyes and body glowed green.
"Haaah….Gate of View….Open!"
A shockwave is released from his body as nearby water starts to displace.
"Aaaah…Gate of Wonder…Open!"
His body starts to secrete blue sweat which evaporates immediately creating a blue Aura that blew nearby trees. I am blown back by the shockwave and almost exposed myself.
Might Duy clenched his fist as he punched slightly in the air. A large crater formed beneath his feet as the compressed air start to take shape of a White Tiger. Before it could form completely Duy ran out of gas as he slumped on the ground and start to pant heavily.
"Not yet, this technique has almost reached completion. I still need a little bit of time to complete the technique."
Duy laid on the ground motionlessly. After a while, snoring sounds could be heard as Duy fell asleep. I return to clan compounds as I start to contemplate,
"The technique is too fast, he opened the first five gates simultaneously. I could only record the opening of three gates. I need to pay him continuous visits for a while to completely understand the technique."
I made this plan as I continued to peek on Duy for the next few weeks.
