Tetsuya felt a surge of excitement at the prospect of leaving the village for the first time. Until now, the farthest he had ventured was the Konoha Forest. This mission represented a significant departure from his usual routine.
Before setting out, Tetsuya meticulously checked his ninja kit: detonating tags, kunai, shuriken, and some ration pills. Although his chakra capacity meant the pills would only provide a small boost, they could be crucial in a pinch.
When he arrived at the Konoha gate, Maru Xing Kosuke was already there, a cauldron strapped to his back.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Kosuke-senpai," Tetsuya said apologetically.
Kosuke waved it off. "I just got here myself. Let's head out."
After registering at the guard post, they left Konoha. Tetsuya finally met the legendary Konoha Gatekeepers, Izumo and Kotetsu, known for their vigilance.
The two moved at a steady pace, with Kosuke sharing his mission experiences as they walked. Tetsuya listened intently, knowing that Kosuke's insights were invaluable. The ninja world was vast and filled with unknowns. Overconfidence could be deadly.
They reached the base of Niutou Mountain by nightfall. According to their information, the area was infested with bandits notorious for their cruelty. They had terrorized countless innocent villagers, prompting a collective plea to Konoha for help.
Kosuke explained, "Our mission is to eliminate the bandits. They're all ordinary people, but they've taken many hostages. This mission is entirely yours. I'll follow your lead."
Tetsuya nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. "I understand. I'll handle it. Please cover me, Kosuke-senpai."
"No problem," Kosuke replied, ready to assist.
Tetsuya's system issued a task:
[Task: This world is deformed and needs your healing. The first step is the bandits in front of you.]
[Killing life to protect life, killing business is not killing people! Please kill all the bandits and save the innocent villagers.]
[Task reward: 200 points.]
Tetsuya knew this mission was a test of his skills and his resolve. If he failed to consider the hostages' lives, it would prove he wasn't fit to be Hokage. Konoha needed a leader who valued every life.
"I can handle this alone. Kosuke-senpai, please watch my back," Tetsuya said.
Kosuke agreed. "Understood."
With the cover of night, they approached the bandits' hideout. Kosuke identified the location of the hostages, guarded by a dozen bandits.
Tetsuya activated his Lightning Style Chakra, infusing it into his blade. He moved swiftly, dispatching the guards silently. Their bodies fell before they could sound an alarm.
However, Tetsuya intentionally allowed some noise to draw out the remaining bandits. It worked; they rushed out, weapons drawn.
"Kill him! He's alone!" one of them shouted, attempting to rally the others.
The bandit leader, meanwhile, tried to slip away. Tetsuya's Sharingan caught the movement. With a flick of his wrist, a kunai found its mark in the leader's throat.
Tetsuya faced the remaining bandits, his blade a blur. The scene turned gruesome as he cut through them, their bodies falling in pieces. Blood and viscera splattered the ground, but Tetsuya felt no revulsion, only a heightened sense of clarity.
His Sharingan evolved, the tomoe spinning and merging into a new pattern. He felt a surge of power and purpose.
The bandits, seeing their leader dead and their comrades falling, charged in a final, desperate assault. Tetsuya met them head-on, his movements precise and deadly. Each swing of his blade ended a life, and his Sharingan ensured no attack went unnoticed.
When the last bandit fell, Tetsuya stood amidst the carnage, his breath steady. The system chimed in his mind:
[Congratulations, Host, for completing the task. You have earned 200 points.]
Kosuke approached cautiously. "Tetsuya, are you alright?"
Tetsuya smiled, sheathing his blade. "I'm fine, Kosuke-senpai. It was necessary. These bandits deserved worse for what they've done."
Kosuke studied Tetsuya, noting the calm in his eyes. "You've done well. Let's free the hostages and return."
Tetsuya nodded. "Let's go."
As they released the captives, the young women looked at Tetsuya with a mix of fear and gratitude. He reassured them with a gentle smile, his thoughts already on the next challenge.
Kosuke couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. Tetsuya had faced his first true test with a strength and resolve beyond his years. The path to becoming Hokage was fraught with trials, but Tetsuya had taken his first steps with confidence and skill.
After safely escorting the hostages back to their villages and receiving heartfelt gratitude from the villagers, Tetsuya completed his first mission successfully. As evening approached, Maru Xing Kosuke suggested staying at a nearby town's hotel for the night. Proper relaxation, he argued, was also part of the training. Tetsuya readily agreed, needing a quiet place to study his newly acquired Mangekyō Sharingan.
In his hotel room, Tetsuya set up a simple alarm barrier to prevent interruptions. Sitting cross-legged on the bed, the distinctive lines of Mangekyō appeared in his eyes. The surging power of his pupils pulsed through his mind as Tetsuya felt the four abilities lodged within his eyes.
Yes, four abilities. Two were his own, while the other two—Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi—were gifts from Itachi. After some research, Tetsuya identified his unique abilities. Unfortunately, they weren't the Kamui he had hoped for.
The first technique, Shaoming Viguna, allowed him to shrink any inanimate object and instantly restore it to its original size. For living beings, it could only alter his own size. The second technique, Heaven's Blessing and Fate, enabled him to control any object infused with his chakra and transmit chakra through the air.
"Invincible," Tetsuya thought, excitement bubbling up inside him. Shaoming Viguna was incredibly powerful. He could shrink Naruto's Sage Art: Massive Rasengan into a tiny, harmless orb. In critical moments, he could shrink himself to evade attacks, making him an elusive target. Heaven's Blessing and Fate, while seemingly less impressive alone, complemented Shaoming Viguna perfectly.
Contemplating these abilities, Tetsuya noticed a similarity to a certain technique used by a formidable enemy in the Naruto series. He glanced at Bodu Yuhun hanging on the wall and used Heaven's Blessing and Fate to float it to his side, then shrank it with Shaoming Viguna, turning it into a pendant around his neck.
With Mangekyō's potential blindness due to overuse not being a concern thanks to his Sage Body, Tetsuya felt reassured. His body compensated for the eye's strain, and his pupil power continued to grow rapidly. It seemed Mangekyō was just the beginning.
"System, show my attributes panel," Tetsuya commanded.
A light curtain appeared:
Character: Tetsuya Kamiyo
Age: ThirteenConstitution: 4396 (Sage Body awakening)Spirit: 3900 (Immortal Eyes awakening)Chakra: 5.6 million
Talents:
Ninja Nature
Skills:
Chakra Refinement (9)Raikiri (9)Chidori-ryu (9)Rasengan (8)Various other ninjutsu

Points: 45654
Evaluation: A formidable Kage-level ninja, an all-rounder with no weaknesses, a master of ninjutsu.
Tetsuya's panel was impressive, reflecting the critical role his talent, Ninja Nature, played. This ability accelerated his mastery of various ninjutsu, making him a formidable opponent in the ninja world. If it were just about individual attributes, he could rival anyone. But considering his mastery over the five elements plus Yin and Yang, he was unparalleled.
Despite this, Tetsuya knew he still had to contend with abilities like Nagato's Rinnegan, which were significantly overpowered. Nevertheless, he appreciated his progress and went to sleep content.
The next morning, Tetsuya and Kosuke set off leisurely. On the way back, Tetsuya decided to buy gifts for Hinata, Ino, and the rest of his friends, ending up with bags full of presents. Utilizing Shaoming Viguna, he shrank the bags to the size of ration pills, stuffing them into his ninja pouch.
As they neared Konoha, Tetsuya asked Kosuke about swordsmanship. Konoha's fluid style didn't suit his aggressive thunder-based fighting style, but Kosuke, with his wealth of experience, had plenty to teach him. By the time they reached Konoha, Tetsuya had learned most of what Kosuke could teach.
Standing at Konoha's gate, Tetsuya felt a wave of familiarity and belonging. This was his home now, with lovers and friends who made the world feel real. He shook his head, smiling at his sentimental thoughts. He was young and strong; it was time to embrace his place in Konoha fully.
