Chapter 20 - New title and New mission

"This heroic act permitted to avoid the death of at least two thansand people, and the death of 1500 ennemies. So for their heroic act, I, the Lord Hokage, grant the two of you a title each. Sakumo Hatake, from now on you are the White Fang of Konoha. You, Kyokai Uchiha, are from now on the Red Sword of Konoha. And normally I would have promoted the two of you to the next grade, I decided it would be a waste to let the two of you just command troops and not fight. So that is why the two of you will now come into a new position. You will fight whenever you want, and on wichever front you want."

The Hokage continued despite the sound of wonder made by the ninjas"So from now on the two of you will only receive orders from me, with your athority equal to the generals." After that said I heard everybody acclaming our names along with waves of applause. I heard the Hokage say to us"Follow me." We did as we were told and came to his tent.

He told us to sit down. After the two of us sat he began talking"First I would like to tell you that I am proud of the two of you." We thanked him at the same time. He continued"I recon the two of you know Chio from Suna, right ?" We again nodded at the same time. I saw that the Hokage face became grave. He said" She will come to the battleground tommorow, and that is why I want the two of you to stop her."

I looked at Sakumo and he did the same. I looked in his eyes and saw that he agreed so I nodded and said to the Hokage"Yes Lord Hokage". The Hokage looked at us pleased and said"The two of you need to quickly take care of her as even if she is strong against individuals, she is a nightmare for armies with her poison fogs and numerous puppets." We agreed to that statement. He took a box behind him and told us"This is some gift to you." He then opened the box and inside were a white short straight sword, along with a long red sword. We accepted the gift, thanked him again and departed.

Sakumo proposed to me"Why don't you come eat with me and my wife ? You would meet her and would not spend the night alone. What's more, you will be able to eat food from one of the best cook in the world !" I laughed hearing him praise his wife and accepted immediatly."Yeah let's go." We only took five minutes to walk there. But this was only because evvery person we would meet would greet us or even offer some things.

We entered the tent and it was way bigger than mine. There also was a beautiful woman around twenty two or twenty three. You could see that she would soon give birth.She greeted us soon as we came in"My greetings Lord Red Sword and White Fang." She said that with a sarcastic air. This made me closer to her directly. I presented to her the gift people offered to me"This is fom me, to the well being of this kid. The two laughed. We then ate and God ! Sakumo was not lying she really was one of the best cook.

Sakumo took out a bottle of sake and asked"You will take some with me ?" He looked at him wondering if he was an idiot"You know that I only am eleven years old ?" He looked at me and said"You looks like fourteen and is even more mature than me… You monster." After saying that he decided not to drink as he would be the only one and that would be boring, or so he says. But then I saw that Sakumo and Sakaki began to whisper.

They looked at each other, nodded and looked toward me. I was a bit nervous seeing them so serious. Did something happen ? Sakumo then opened his mouth and said""We would like you to be our child godfather." I let out the breath I was keeping, and said"Yes." I though it was something really serious… I saw Sakumo nod and he told me"Okay then, that is good. Let's see each other tommorow before going to war. With that said I came back to my tent and slept.

I woke up the next day and wanted to go to the training grounds but though that everybody would bother me. So I decided to go into the forest to train alone. But there I saw the same girl I saw some month earlier, the presumably Uchiha girl. I decided not to bother her and went to another corner of the forest. I began as always by training my body, and then worked on my Elemental coating. Fortunetly I had a breakthrought in battle or I don't know how much time it would have taken. So now I started by working on fire, as I worked on it the longest, then on lightning as I know the effects it will give me. If I coat my body with it, it will do the same as when I coat my weapons, make me faster. The additional effect will be paralysis. For the other two I do not know.

After my training I departed for the third stronghold alone as I did not want people to bother me. I used body flicker to go there and went to see Sakumo as soon as I saw him. This battle was of course less important than the first one as the first one was a demonstration of strenght. Now in this battle there only was two regiments or 9000 ninjas. Just before they began to walk off the stronghold we went to the two Colonels to tell them what we were doing here. Just seeing us made the moral of the troops to raise.
