Slowly I walked closer to the door on my tiptoes.
Making sure not to make a sound. I Carefully checked the door from top to the bottom.
There were no booby traps nor were there any seals engraved onto the door that I could see.
Deciding that it was safe I reached out my left hand to grab the doorknob. The moment I touched I felt a small prick on my thumb.
"What the fuck was that?" I thought to myself as I let go of the knob and brought my thumb towards my face. There wasn't any cut or prick that I could see.
"I must have imagined it due to how nervous I am." I thought to myself.
Taking a deep breath I once again put my hand on the knob only this time there was no prick or anything.
"so, I was imaging things" I thought as I let go of the breath I was holding I twisted the knob and opened the door.
"creeeeeeek"
"Oh for fucks sake."
" Is there a universal agreement that states that doors must creak when you want to do something quietly or be sneaky?"
Inside the door was a dark narrow staircase with little lamps mounted onto the walls.
"buzz"
Not even a second after I opened the door the lamps started to flicker and turned themselves on.
"Is that automatic?"
" But how?" I thought to myself.
" Is some kind of seal matrix that is triggered when someone opens the door?"
I closed the door and started walking forward admiring the carvings on the walls.
The corridor walk was a short one.
Soon I was in front of a big room That was similar to the civilian part of the library.
The room was illuminated by the dozens of lamps on the wall. There were bookshelves everywhere. Only in a slightly lower quantity.
It was clear the room was divided into four parts as there were small golden lines drawn around each section.
Each section had a sign on top. Ninjutsu, Taijustu, Genjutsu and finally we had the biggest section of them all sealing.
I guess it's only natural as the whirlpool village is known for its sealing techniques.
I walked over to the bookshelves in the Ninjutsu Department. There I could see a range of different titles on the shelves ranging from basics of ninjutsu to advance topics like an advanced guide to changing your chakra nature.
There were even books about jutsus based on the nature of the chakra.
It was almost like an encyclopedia for that particular element. Taking out a beginners guide for controlling your chakra and some justus books.
I went on to the next section that interested me.
The sealing section.
Genjutsu didn't interest me yet and reading Taijutsu books right now would not benefit me at all. Besides, I have Subaru sensei right now anyway.
................break......................................
It has been 15 minutes since I began searching the sealing section.
I could not make heads or tails about anything that was written in most of the books
.Most of the book talked about the theoretical application of seals. While others talked about giant seal matrices and how they function.
Deciding it would be better to start from the basics I took a book from the lower shelves titled seals for beginners and a guide to practicing calligraphy.
Putting all these books in the bag I headed back towards the narrow corridor to get out of the ninja room.
Twisting the doorknob I looked both ways to see if the coast was clear. Deciding it was safe. I walked out of the room closing the door behind me.
Making sure to close it as softly as possible. I didn't want to get caught after now.
" Brinnnnnggg " Brinnnngggg"
An alarm started to blare out throughout the building.
I couldn't help but freeze in place.
" How was the alarm triggered?"
" What happened?"
"Sizzztle"
The engravings on the wall slowly started to glow up in a bright red color.
Black kanji characters soon came out of the red engravings. They were spreading everywhere except on the shelves.
Thankfully I was near a bookshelf and because of my small stature I was able to climb up on the shelves with ease.
I stared at the black kanji characters on the floor. I could only imagine what would happen if I was standing there whilst I was standing on the floor.
I imagine it would do something like the seals would spread throughout my body paralyzing me till the guards get here.
A few minutes passed and soon I heard footsteps echoing throughout the library.
"Who is there?" somebody shouted out.
I never stood more still in my entire life.
I didn't even dare to breathe. Afraid that he might find me.
"Fuin: KAI" I heard the man shout out.
AS soon as he said that the engraving on the walls turned neon green and the sealing characters slowly receded back.
*step* *step* *step*
Very quietly I squeezed myself into one of the free spaces on the shelf.
Thankfully it was a spot that was not illuminated by the light. A perfect hiding spot for someone like me.
"I bet it was some chakra beasts that triggered the alarm again."
"Those buggers must have opened the door and entered the ninja room again and taken some books from there to give to their summoners. "
"Good thing we included the sealing trap in the matrix this time."
"Now they will be paralyzed unable to move on the ground." He mumbled as he walked past my hiding spot towards the ninja room.
Thankfully he was too distracted by his thoughts to notice me. Otherwise, I might have been toast for sure.
Letting go of the breath I was holding.
I quickly got out of my hiding spot. making sure to take the bag with me as I went.
It would be a darn shame if I left behind the spoils of my hard work.
Going to the window that I kept unlocked whilst I was waiting before.
I climbed out of it with ease making sure that there was no one watching me.
Thank God it was on the ground floor. Closing the window behind me I hurried away in the direction of the training grounds.
A shortcut from the library to my house that I found the other day after I was done training with Mr. Subaru.
Unknown Pov
It was a beautiful night. If anyone looked up at the sky, they would see a magnificent round moon bathing the surroundings with moonlight.
A masked figure could be seen sitting on top of the building looking up at the sky and admiring the view.
"Sigh, today was such a stressful day. Little miss being a handful as usual." the masked man said as he took a cigarette from his back pocket.
Putting the cigarette between his fingers in his right hand he pinched the tip of the cigarette with his left hand.
"sizzle "
When he removed his fingers there was a small ember on the top of his cigarette.
Seemingly satisfied with his work. He pushed his mask upwards and took a deep puff from his cigarette inhaling the smoke inwards.
"Ah that feels good" he said out loud.
Just as he was about to take another puff.
An alarm sound began to sound out
"Brrrrggggggg Brrggggggggg"
" Ahhhh can't a man get a break"
"It's probably some chakra beasts entering library again"
he said out in an annoyed tone before getting up and leaping in the direction of the sound
All the while keeping his cigarette in his mouth while his long blood red hair fluttered in the wind.

I walked along the path whistling a victory tune with a huge grin on my face.
How could I not be happy?
I was able to sneak into the ninja library and get away with it.
Granted, I'm sure that place didn't have any A rank jutsus or kinjutsues. Thats probably the reason why the security was so lax. Surely if the place had anything important it would have had much better sealing traps and guards .
The one that I saw was probably just a chunin at most.
Who would keep a jounin as a guard in a public library anyway?
"Rustle"
POV change to unknown person.
" Why would anyone break into the ninja section?"
"That place would only be useful to academy students , Gennin and Chunins and all of them would be able to get in to there anyways "
"Hmmm"
"What do we have over here?" The masked figure thought to himself as he observed the chakra that was trapped in the seal that was embedded in the door handle.
"This chakra signature on the handle could not be from an animal."
"No."
"It's too potent for that." The masked figure grumbled under his breath as he observed the seal on the door.
He extended two fingers coated in chakra towards the door and made an infinity symbol on the handle in one fluid motion.
FUIN: Chakra sensing thread.
As he said this a small reddish chakra globe came out of the handle.
It was attached to a light green chakra string coming from the masked man's fingers.
"This chakra. It couldn't be."
"But this color, this feeling and this heaviness. it feels exactly as that boy's chakra from that day." he whispered out.
Flashback
Fox mask POV
*WHOOSH*
*WHOOSH*
*WHOOSH*
Three men wearing animal masks could be seen jumping from one building to the other at neck breaking speeds.
" Today is the first day of school huh."
"I wonder if Subaru would find a good seedling to train this year." said the man with a mouse mask.
"CHEH."
"Don't get your hopes up Mouse."
"They are all civilian children. It would be a miracle if there was anyone that could even reach johnin level there."
"Most of them would be useless foot soldiers " the man wearing a tiger mask replied.
"OI. OI. Gennin are useful too."
"If not for them, wouldn't we have to do those annoying D rank mission. " The mouse masked man replied.
"We have enough Genin in the academy as it is."
"We don't need any more Genin " replied the tiger masked man.
"Enough." I said.
" There might be good seedlings amongst the civilians too."
" Haven't you heard of the third hokages students?" I said. Voicing my opinions for the first time since they started talking.
"No. What about them? " Tiger asked in a curious voice.
"Sigh"
I couldn't help but sigh at my subordinate's ignorance. One would think that as Anbu would be well informed. Especially when it was about someone as high profile as the third hokage.
" This is why you should listen to the briefings instead of skipping them to go to the brothels"
" He personally taught a team of three this time."
"One of them is the granddaughter of Mito Sama and Harishirama Senju and the other two are civilian orphans."
"I bet the other two can't even keep up with Mito Sama's granddaughter." The tiger said with a smug look on his face.
"No. you idiot. They are keeping up with her just fine."
"In fact, the black-haired boy called Orichimaru might even be better than Mito Samas Grand child when it comes to ninjutsu" I said in a snippy voice.
"So, you should......'
Before I could finish what I was going to say.
A strange pressure began to attack me.
Threatening to overpower my will.
It was as if it was screaming at me to submit.
"What the is that" I whispered out as we stopped and turned to the direction in which the pressure was coming from.
"The academy ground?"
"But why"
"Is it being attacked?" rat said out loud.
"Doesn't matter, we have to check this out. Something like this just cannot be ignored" I replied as I started jumping in the direction of the academy with rat and tiger following close by.
.....................…......break...........................…
As we got closer and closer the pressure only increased only for it completely disappear right as we landed in the academy ground.
"You are late?" someone called out.
"Subaru san. What was that?" rat asked as we stared at our old friend.
"That was the chakra awakening of this boy." He said with a smile on his face.
"No way"
"You are telling me a civilian was the cause of that"? Tiger shouted out.
Tuning out my subordinate's shouting.
I focused on the child in Subarus hands.
Blood red hair and that familiar looking face.
"It couldn't be." I thought to myself as I was unable to stop the smile that was forming behind my mask.
Flashback Ends.
I couldn't help but grin as I recognized to whom the chakra belonged to.
That brat.
Not only he was able to evade the paralyzing seal but he was also able to avoid the Chunin guard.
"He has a bright future ahead of him for sure."
"Now let's go catch him."
"He couldn't have gotten far. Maybe I should even test him a little bit as I remembered the fight between that boy and the academy student.
"I wonder how much better he has gotten under Subarus guidance. "I thought to myself as I tried to sense his chakra.
"Got him".
"So, he decided to go towards the forest huh."
"Smart."
"However, He can only blame his bad luck for running into me, the second-best sensor in the whirlpool village behind Uzukage sama." I thought to myself as I shunshined in the direction of the forest.
........................…break...........................…...
ZEKE POV
The forest was exactly what you would assume it would be at night.
Dark and spooky.
It was only the moonlight that was coming through the thick canopy that allowed me to follow the old pathway that would get me out of this creepy place.
The path was full of leaves and broken branches.
There was complete silence in the forest except for the sound of leaves rustling due to the wind, An occasional hoot from an owl and of course the sound of branches being broken due me stepping on them.
I walked down the path with grin on my face.
Stopping every once in a while, to see if I'm still on the correct path.
Hmmm.
After 20 minutes of walking, I stopped and listened. For some reason my instincts were screaming at me.
Telling me that there was something watching me. It was then I noticed how quiet it was.
"Why is it so quiet?" I thought to myself uneasily.
The leaves were no longer rustling and the owls had stopped hooting.
It was almost if time stopped in the forest. It became the very definition of the phrase pin drop silence.
"ZOOOOM"
Came a sound from my right side. Almost instinctively I did a side roll to my left side.
"PUCHHIN"
I turned my head to the right.
There was kunai lodged in to the ground at place I just stood not even a second ago.
AHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA
"GOOD REFLEXES." I heard someone shout out.
Looking up at the direction the shout came from.
I saw an Anbu with a fox mask sitting on a thick branch twirling a kunai with his right hand.
His long red hair fluttering through the wind with the moon illuminating him from behind.
He looked like Yokai taken straight out of Japanese folklore tale.
"That mask."
"Isn't he the guy that was protecting the princess today?"
"What is he doing here?"
"Why did he attack me?" I thought to myself.
Standing up.
I walked over to the kunai that was embedded in the ground and pulled it out.
"Why did you attack me?"
"Do you have a thing for young cute boys like me?" I questioned him as I traced the edge of the kunai with my finger.
FOX POV
Jumping from tree to tree as silently as I could. I got closer to the source of the chakra.
"Subarus seal must be failing" I thought to myself.
The boy's chakra felt stronger than the last time I saw him.
Finally, I stopped on a branch of a huge oak tree.
There was the boy.
He was walking along the old forest path not even five meters away from me.
Deciding to observe him a bit more I sat down on the branch.
"HMMMMM"
"Why did he stop?" I thought to myself as I looked at the boy.
It was as if he was listening for something.
"It couldn't be"
"Did he feel that someone was watching him?" I thought to myself as I small smile began to form underneath my mask.
Now let's see if his reflexes are as good as his intuitions.
Taking a kunai out of my back pocket.
I threw it at the kid with just enough force that even an academy student could dodge it while simultaneously getting myself ready to Shunshin him out if he fails to react.
After all Subaru would never forgive me if I turned his beloved pupil into a corpse.
My smile only got wider as I watched him dodge the kunai.
"Looks like our village is blessed with a good seedling this time." I thought to myself.
Deciding it was time to announce myself I shouted out.
"GOOD REFLEXES."
I saw the boy look up at my direction. Calmly analyzing me before standing up to go grab the kunai I just threw at him.
What came out of his mouth was something I would have never expected in a million years.
"Why did you attack me?"
"Do you have a thing for young cute boys like me?"
......................
"This brat...his mouth is definitely going to get him killed someday" I thought to myself.
Without saying anything I shunshined behind him.
"What if I do little boy" I whispered in to his ears.
A feeling of satisfaction came over me as I saw him jump away from me with his eyes wide open.
Serves him right for trying to mess with an adult.
