As I arrived at the meeting point for the next battle, I heard my brother shooting while my father was laughing hard "Serui, Oto, Rai, stop running around ! You now are ninjas, not academics anymore !" I chuckled and walked to them. Father saw me first and smiled to him.The three brats saw me and they stopped seeing me. They eyed me curiously and turned to Dan. One of the two boys said" Is that the one we were waiting for sensei ? Why the need to wait for someone that seems so weak ?"
I saw that Dan was about to tell them who I am so I quickly said"Do not worry you brats, I won't slow you down." They looked at me in anger, certainly because I called them brats. The girl shyly said" We are not brats…" Dan interupted"You three, pay respect, he is my brother. And if you think he is weak, wait for us to be in a real fight to judge." The three looked at me with a bit of disdain, except the girl, she was looking at me discretly with shyness.
We went in the forest with a big group of a hundred men and separeted in teams once we were a bit further in the forest. We were quite lucky as we heard some fights around us but still did not encounter any ennemy. We were bodyflickering on the trees when I heard a laughter behind me. I looked back and saw the three genin laughing.
I now know who was who. One was a boy wiith red hair and freckles, was quite fit for his age. His name is Oto. The other boy, Rai, was a blond hair boy, slim and he was the quickestof the three. The last one, the girl, is named Serui. She has brown hair, was quite tall, 1m60, was beautiful for her age and still was looking at me even if she was laughing. The three of them were absolutly not taking this mission seriously. It is just like they were thinking it was a joke.
But just as I was about to reprimand them, I heard something in a tree in front of us. There was a group of ten Kumo's ninjas heading toward us. I heard Oto say"Don't worry Serui, I will protect you !" Rai followed"Yeah, I will too !" With that the two went to the ennemy. Serui went with them after a bit of hesitation. I saw that Dan was disapointed. The ennemy stopped and look at us. They had contempt in their eyes.
I frowned seeing how the three of them jumped to the ennemy without any plan. I looked at my brother and saw that he too was displeased. He jumped over them activating his stage 3 sharingan. I coated myself with lightning to be fast enough if something happened. I looked at my father and saw that he disapeared. He still is the most experienced of us. I turned to see that the fight had already begun.
The three genin were working well together as they were fighting a chunnin without being on the losing end. My brother was holding two jonin, and could still activate his mangekyou. But as I was analysing the battle, I saw a little twinkling behind them. I understood the message and took out my sword. One of the ennemies watching with fun the battle saw it and shooted with a panick filled face"Flee !"
The other ennemies looked at me and saw my sword. They all began to flrr, only to activate a trap. Countless shurikens and explosives notes attached to kunais went their way. They tried to evade it but only four of the ten escaped it. The four seemed to be jonin. Father appeared like a ghost and slashed two at the same time. This was the first time I saw him fight, and I did not thought he was that powerful. He is strong enought to be placed at the top ten of the A rank I think.
There were only two left, and they had their back on me. I sheathed my sword and quasi teleported behind them, put one hand on the back of their neck and knocked them out. If I put my hand there it is because the paralysis will be more powerful at that place than any other one, and makes it easier to knock them. With the two knocked out, I took one on my shoulder while kicking one toward father. We then departed to bring them to the nearest base. We did not encounter any other ennemies on the way and handed the two. As we could still not go back we decided to go deeper on the forest. As we were going, Dan said"Oto, why are you keeping this confused face since we fought the other group ?" Oto asked unsure"Sensei, I do not understand why they fled. They were two times more than us, and you are the only jonin here along with Mr. Atsuhiko."
Dan laughed and before he could say any anything I unsheathed my sword. They looked at it in shock and only blancked out when I release some killing intent. Seiru stuttered while half kneeling"Lord Re.. Red Swo.. Sword !" The two other boys did the same and I only said"You don't need to kneel, I don't really like it, moreover, maybe he did not tell you but your sensei is my big brother."
The three stood up and Rai asked excitedly"Lord Red Sword, do you have any advice for us to get stronger ?" I smiled"I am not the one you should ask, you should ask your sensei, he is not bad himself you know ? But if you really want one advice, do not ever take missions or war as a joke. You need to be always prepared to kill someone on the battlefield. And do not ever rush head first to ennemies without a plan like you did earlier."
