Harry stood beside a huge tree while carrying out sokenjamd signs as he practiced the clone technique. Not long after, three clones which looked exactly like Harry appeared beside him.
With a satisfied smile Harry disperses those clones and sat down below the tree trying to recover the chakra he had spent on using the technique automatically.
Three weeks had passed since Harry had started his physical and Taijutsu training. In total five weeks had passed since the day of his transmigration.
Now, Harry had finally learned all the three E Rank Techniques which were gifted to him. His chakra control had reached the standard to perform the three techniques.
Moroeover he had also completed a few quests during the period of five weeks this accumulating enough points.
Though the quest which rewarded him for reaching Genin Rank was yet to be completed. Harry concluded that in order to become a ninja of Genin Rank, he had to at least learn one D Rank Technique.
A D Rank Technique costs him about one hundred points. The points which he had accumulated were 112 in total after weeks of hard work.
The 112 points were made up of 42 points from the daily basis quest of pull-ups, push-ups, running, and sit-ups; 45 points from the quest of learning the three E Rank Techniques; 15 points from the quest of learning Taijutsu, and 20 points from the quest of Kunai and Shuriken training. He had to spend ten points in order to buy a Kunai and Shuriken, bringing the total to 112.
Harry was feeling confused about whether to buy a D Rank Ninja Technique or to purchase the chakra paper first. With the help of the chakra paper, he would be able to get an idea of which element he should focus on the most. However, the chakra paper costs about 50 points, and if he bought one, he would have to wait a few more days to buy the D Rank Technique and become a fully-fledged Genin, and finally get the reward of 400 points.
Harry's mind was in turmoil as he weighed the options in front of him. On one hand, the D Rank Ninja Technique would bring him one step closer to becoming a Genin, and with it, the coveted reward of 400 points. On the other hand, the chakra paper seemed to offer valuable insight into his elemental affinity, a crucial factor in determining his future as a ninja. As he mulled over this, a sense of unease crept over him, and he couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss.
Suddenly, he became aware of a subtle shift in the atmosphere around him. It was as if the very air had grown heavy with tension, and Harry's instincts went on high alert. He scanned his surroundings, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Just as he was about to dismiss the feeling as mere paranoia, a faint glint caught his eye from the corner of his vision. He turned in the direction of the movement, only to find himself surrounded by seven shadowy figures, all of them dressed in the black suits.
Harry's frowned as he realized the gravity of the situation. His lack of a sensory technique had left him vulnerable, and now he found himself surrounded by his enemies without any clue.
Harry cursed himself as to why he didn't change his location earlier. He actually wanted to move to a different place after becoming a Genin Rank Ninja which could guarantee his safety more, but he seemed to have underestimated the resources and technology in the hand of SHIELD through which they were able to find his location in less then two months.
It wasn't entirely his fault as, according to the previous Harry, his location would not have been exposed for at least six months. He knew that plans would never align with reality all the time, but not even two months had passed since he had come to this village.
'Well it's not like I am in some sort of impossible situation,' Harry mentally readied himself to fight the agents using his E Rank Techniques and the Leaf Style Taijutsu.
As Harry made up his mind, a blue panel popped in front of him.
________________________________________
SITUATIONAL QUEST
•Defeat/ Kill the SHIELD agents without a scratch.
Reward: 500 points
________________________________________
'Without a scratch on me? That's going to be difficult,' Harry steeled himself.
The agents advanced with calculated precision, their weapons trained on Harry as they closed in on him. Despite the dire circumstances, Harry remained composed. He knew that these agents were not to be trifled with; they were highly trained and formidable in their own right. As the leader of the group stepped forward, his steely gaze locked onto Harry's, and his voice cut through the tense silence.
Agent Smith fixed Harry with a stern gaze. "Harry, you know the drill. Let's not make this difficult. Come peacefully with us back to base."
"I can't do that, Agent Smith. There's too much at stake," Harry replied firmly.
Agent Smith's expression grew more intense as he looked at Harry. "You may think you have a choice, but the reality is, we'll use force if necessary. It's in your best interest to cooperate."
Harry knew that no amount of convincing would deter any of these agents. These people were agents to their core and would definitely not let emotions get in between of their work. Though Harry had worked with them for almost a year, the current Harry was nothing but a traitor to them and they wouldn't hesitate to kill him, if they were given the orders to do so.
The only reason Harry was wasting a bit of the time in conversation because he was trying to form a proper strategy to fight them using his Ninja techniques. Even though he could buy a D Rank offensive Ninja technique, it was useless as he had to spend some time learning it before he could even use it. So the only things that he could rely on were his E Rank Techniques and Leaf Style Taijutsu.
"How did you find me?" Harry asked.

Agent Smith, the leader of the group, stepped forward and pointed his gun directly at Harry's forehead. "Enough of this nonsense, Harry," he said with a steely determination in his voice. "You know the consequences of betraying us. Quit stalling and lay down on the ground with your hands behind your head."
Harry nodded slowly, feigning compliance as he got down on his knees and placed his hands behind his head. As he lowered himself to the ground, he discreetly took out a smoke bomb from his system space which he had purchased on the spot from the system for five points.
Without wasting any time and with a swift movement, he threw the smoke bomb to the ground, releasing a cloud of smoke. In the blink of an eye, Harry's body seemed to dissolve into the swirling mist, leaving behind nothing but a lingering illusion of his presence.
He had used the smoke bomb for two reasons, one being to distract the people in front of him and the second reason was to deter any sniper from getting a proper aim at him, if a sniper was present at the site.
The agents were caught off guard for a split second, giving Harry the precious opportunity to act. From within the concealing cover of the smoke, he quickly performed the Body Replacement Technique, seamlessly swapping places with a nearby a wood log which he had place there while he was training the Body Replacement Technique.
As the smoke cleared, the agents found themselves aiming their guns at the wooden trunk, their expressions becoming even more determined as they realized Harry's attempt to deceive them.
Harry used the distraction to weave through the chaos, employing his agile Leaf Style Taijutsu to swiftly approach two of the agents and with precise strikes of his Kunai to their neck, he killed them.
The remaining agents regrouped and retaliated, their gunfire echoing through the air as they attempted to pin down Harry's elusive figure. But he was already on the move, utilizing his Clone Technique to create multiple illusory duplicates of himself that dashed in every direction, confusing the agents and making it nearly impossible for them to track the real Harry.
In the midst of the chaos, Harry seamlessly switched to his Transformation Technique, altering his appearance to resemble one of the agents. With his newfound disguise, he managed to infiltrate the group's ranks undetected, planting seeds of doubt and confusion among them as they hesitated to target their own colleague.
Taking advantage of their momentary hesitation, Harry swiftly disarmed another agent, using his mastery of close combat to swiftly neutralize his opponent.
Everyone including Agent Smith were bewildered by the unknown abilities that Harry was using. Still with many years of experience at their hand, they didn't flater and tried their best to fight Harry.
However Harry seemed to be unstoppable as he kept killing one agent after another while using the Ninja Technique in line with his Taijutsu and kunai.
Despite Agent Smith's formidable skills, Harry's determination and resourcefulness proved to be his greatest assets. With a final, decisive blow, Harry killed Agent Smith, leaving him on the ground with blood splurting out of his neck which slowly drenched his hairs.
Harry stood, panting, having exhausted almost half of his chakra reserves while fighting the agents. Although it seemed as though he had dominated the fight, he knew that the muscle memory of the body of the previous Harry, which he now occupied, had also played a very important role in the battle.
Harry had won the confrontation and that too without any scratch on his body. After he killed Agent Smith, the system panel had popped out rewarding him with 500 points.
Harry decided to ignore the reward for a while and without wasting any time he approached the Agent who he hadn't killed yet and had just knocked him unconscious. From the bit of the memories he had inherited from the previous Harry, he knew that this particular agent was a bit cowardly.
There was a low chance that he might answer a question of his. As for the rest Harry knew that they wouldn't answer anything even if they were tortured for weeks, so he could only kill them as leaving them alive means more problems for him in the future.
As he walked towards the unconscious Agent, he observed the bloodied surroundings, which he had caused. He felt a bit nauseous, but that feeling quickly drowned out by his resolve. He knew that if he were captured by them, he would definitely be killed sooner or later, and other than killing them, he had no other choice.
In any case, this wasn't the first time he had killed living beings. In his previous life, Harry had worked in his father's butcher shop. He had learned the art of cutting and preparing meat from his father, who was a skilled and experienced butcher. Harry had assisted in breaking down carcasses, cutting meat into various cuts, and preparing meat products.
Harry shook off all the unnecessary thoughts and woke up the unconscious agent with a swift kick to the ribs. The agent groaned and slowly opened his eyes, blinking in confusion and pain. Harry grabbed him by the collar and pulled him up to his feet, staring into the agent's eyes with a cold intensity.
"How did you find me?" Harry demanded, his voice low and dangerous.
The agent winced and grimaced, his breath coming in short, painful gasps. "I don't know," he admitted, his voice strained. "We received information from the higher-ups about your location. That's all I know, I swear."
"Who specifically gave you the information?" Harry pressed, his voice hard and unforgiving.
The agent shook his head weakly, his eyes darting around the blood-splattered area as if searching for an escape. "I don't know, they didn't tell me. It was just a directive from the top, orders that had to be followed. Please, you have to believe me."
"Useless," Harry sighed, swiftly retrieving the kunai from his system storage and sliced the neck of the Agent.
'Did the previous Harry accidentally leave some clues while escaping to this village? Harry thought as he was very careful during his stay in the village. The previous Harry also didn't bring any accessories with him when he escaped from HYDRA. Even the weapons provided to him by SHIELD were dumped, as he thought there might be a tracking mechanism in them.
No matter how much Harry thought, he couldn't come to a proper conclusion. So he decided to drop the matter and leave the place before the backup arrived.
