Chapter 23: Volume III: Bonding Time Chapter 23: S-Rank Mission
It's been two year's now, and my training with Tsunade in Medical Ninjutsu has finished faster than she said it would take. She thought me everything she knew about medicine, and now I can say that I'm arguably a good Medical Ninja. After training me for two years, she and Shizune left the village to travel around again as she said on the day I got my summons. Well, she said that she will leave after four years of training, but as I was a fast learner she was able to finish it in two. While leaving she handed over the access key to clan compound to me and said to keep it safe. She's still the clan head even if there's only two of us. So as a clan member, I obeyed her orders and kept the key in a seal at the Nara household.
In the two years, I've been keeping in touch with my friends every week. Itachi has become an ANBU captain now, Shisui is with his team most of the time, Hana has become a Veterinary Doctor assistant in the hospital, Izumi has joined the Konoha Military Police Force(KMPF). Even though the KMPF is full of Uchihas, they have now good reputation in the village.
As for my personal training, I've started to get used to water chakra nature, and it's fun to do it too. Thank's to grandfather's notes on water element I was able to get complete mastery over the element in these two years, but I still can't bring water from thin air like he did. So my aim is to achieve that within next eight years, the long time for that is because the difficulty to achieve it. Mastering a single element in two years is achievable by the calculations of grandpa, but to go beyond that to perfection is a highly difficult task, not impossible, but difficult. Due to achieving mastery over water element Ninjutsu, I didn't train in any other Justus, except for the medical Ninjutsu, because if I didn't Tsunade would bash me around like she did with Jiraiya, and I'm not up for it. So I studied medical Ninjutsu with diligence, and I think that it's partially that's to training medical Ninjutsu that to got the water element to mastery level.
Now, I'm on my way to the Hokage office as the Lord Third has called for me personally. I don't know why he's calling me personally, since I haven't done anything that would warrants for him to call me. After coming out of the one year leave I had taken several B-Rank missions and couple of A-Rank missions. So I'm basically confused on what this is all about.
As I reached the office, I knocked on the door and got permission to enter from Lord Third. So I opened the door and entered the office, inside there was Lord Third sitting on his chair, Shisui and Yugao standing on infront of the desk, and uncle is standing on the right side of Lord Third.
Seeing me Lord Third spoke "Bokuto, I have a S-Rank mission for you. It's to infiltrate Kirigakure and gather information on what is going on behind the mist."
"Hai."
"However you will be in a team. You know her well, she's you former teammate from ANBU, after getting out of the suspension this is her first S-Rank mission, ans since you mostly acted alone, Shisui Uchiha will be the one to lead you."
"Hai, Hokage-sama."
"That's all, you three can leave now."
"Hai." We three replied and walked out of the office.
As soon as we got out I asked Shisui "So when do we depart?"
"Within a day, and after the mission is finished, Hokage has asked us to go to the Land Of Whirlpool."
"And why is that?"
"There are some pirates who have taken over part of the land and have been scavenging on the remains of of the village. Our second mission is to eliminate them while we return."
"Okay."
"Now that's done be ready to leave to Kirigakure tomorrow early morning."
"Hai." As he got our reply he left us both alone on our own.
So looking at Yugao I asked "Care to join me at Ichiraku?"
"Sure, I will be there in the evening."
"Great. Then see you." After saying that I left back to the Nara clan.
After packing everything that will be required for the mission by evening I left the house, before leaving I told aunt that I will be eating out and also that I'll be away for almost a month from now as I have a mission.
When I reached the Ichiraku, Yugao was already there waiting for me. Seeing her I asked "You got here early?"
"Nope, just got here."
"Alright, shall we."
"Yes."
Saying that we entered the shop and sat down at counter and ordered our ramen. I ordered chicken ramen with some extra chiken and eggs, Yugao ordered Tonkotsu Ramen, with extra vegetables.
While we ate, we made small talks and also shared our experience that we had when we were not in the ANBU. After we finished eating, I paid for the meals and told her that this is a treat to her for getting back into Team Ro.
Then we left to our respective house on a good note and slept.
The next day early morning Yugao and me reached the gates, and waited for Shisui to show up. After half n hour, he arrived and said "You guy's got here early. Anyway, this mission is to be one month long and our order is to only gather information, nothing more. If we think that we're compromised there, we will leave immediately, got that."
"Yes Sir." We both replied.
"Good, then let's go." Saying that Shisui started to move, and we followed him. Before leaving the village, I had left most of my shadows soldiers in every corner and only took six with me, in case of emergency.
