In front of Konoha's big door, Nori in Konoha ninja outfit, proudly wearing his front protection.
Nori looked one last time at the village of Konoha before moving away towards the borders of the land of fire.
The previous day, his leave was completed and he received a level C mission the same day, to patrol at the border.
It was a fairly simple mission, all he had to do was observe suspicious enemy movements, in addition to writing daily reports.
It was the least risky type of mission of the war and as classified as a rank C mission, it was also fairly well paid.
"I have to think about my retirement, I don't want to be a ninja all my life!" said he with a big smile as he accelerated even faster.

Then two days later, he arrived in front of a large canyon, about fifty meters deep with a stone bridge of about ten meters to cross the canyon.
"Normally, according to my information, patrols should guard the bridge." whispered Nori with a sligh surprise.
But then a man in his twenties, wearing the frontal protection of konoha, came out of the forest and approached Nori with a smile.
"So you're my replacement, thank you for coming so quickly, my name is Akito Nakamura. Nice to meet you."
"Nori Hisamatsu, nice to meet you." replied our protagonist.
"Come with me to the camp to make your registration." Says the man as he walked towards the forest.
"The patrol must be tiring, I'm sure you miss Konoha," Nori said as he followed Akito.
"No, actually patrol missions are relatively easy, but you're right, i miss Konoha ."
"It's already the rainy season in Konoha, you'll be soaked before you even return to the village!" said Nori, laughing.
"Yes, you're right, I almost forgot..." But before Akito finished his sentence, a Kunai stabbed him in the throat.
Nori slowly pulled out the Kunaï of Akito's throat, Akito fell on ground looked at him with an incredulous look.
"The rainy season in Konoha has been over for six months." Says Nori as she watches Akito die.
Suddenly a dozen Shuriken headed towards him, but Nori jumped backwards and dodged them completely before hiding behind a tree.
Directing his gaze towards the direction from which the Shurikens were launched Nori saw five ninjas clearly wearing iwa's frontal protection heading towards him.
Two of the five ninjas quickly executed seals with their fingers and the others separated in different directions as if to circle Nori.
"Doton : Earthquake Slam!"Screamed one of Iwa's ninjas, hitting his palms against the ground.
"Doton : Erupt"Screamed Iwa's second ninja by hitting his fists against the ground.
The ground under the feet of our protagonist instantly separated, then several small mountains of stone hit him and throwing his bodie more than 20 m into the sky.
One of Iwa's ninja who had separated earlier began to execute several seals before taking a great breath through his mouth.
"Katon : Flame Bombs!"
Then a large red ball of fire exploded in the direction of Nori, who fell in free fall.
Iwa's ninjas finally stopped moving, because all the martial arts masters will tell you, once in free fall, you can't dodge or attack, it was one of the worst possible situation in a fight, because the body was completely vulnerable.
But under the incredulous eyes of the ninjas of Iwa, Nori, as if he moving on dry land easily dodged the fireball and walked on the air before landing quietly on the ground.
"What a fuck?"Thoughted the five ninjas of Iwa at the same time.
But before they had time to react, Nori pulled two Kunai out of his back pocket, holding a Kunai in each hand.
Then folded both his legs to the maximum.
"Shave!"
And like a ghost the body of Nori disappeared and then reappeared cutting the throat of a ninja of Iwa before disappearing again.
"Watch out! The enemy is fast..." but before the ninja of Iwa can finish his sentence a Kunai cut his throat.
Then Nori appeared in front of Iwa's Ninja who had bombed him earlier and stabbed him four times in a row before disappearing again.
The expression of the other two ninjas of Iwa further, changed quickly and saw the silhouette of Nori who constantly flashed leaving only afterimage, while heading towards them, they quickly fled to forest.
But barely five metres away, a barely perceptible silhouette passed them, their heads were separated from their bodies.
Nori finally stopped in front of their corpses and after searching them, he retrieve a black scroll.
After searching the other bodies, he also found a red scroll, but both scrolls were written in coded language.
But if he brought the scrolls back to the village and if the two scrolls is a source of information, he will receive an additional reward for his patrol mission.
Then, after storing the two scrolls in his pockets, he headed for the border patrol camp.
According to his observations the patrols should have been attacked by the ninjas of Iwa but the worst was that the village of Konoha had not yet noticed, it meant that the ninjas of Iwa were sending false information to Konoha while they were trying a border penetration across borders.
Thought to this, Nori stopped a moment before changing his way to Konoha.
"Even if my strength is greatly improved in recent days, to the point where I could kill one or more chunin, but I can not risk fighting with jonins, especially in such a delicate situation, it is better to report the information to Konoha and left the following decisions to the village"
Thought that, he accelerated even faster, but as the problems never happened alone, three fire dragons attacked Nori from different directions ...
Nori disappeared two faiths in a row and appearing twelves meters away.
"Not good!!! "Whispered he, seeing seventeen Iwa's ninjas coming in his direction
Then a few seconds later they immediately surrounded Nori.
"Captain Arashi, he is the only Konoha ninja in the vicinity." said a young ninja from Iwa while staring at Nori.
"Okay, capture he, then read his memories, the others go back to camp!" Said the man with purple hair, in thirties with a square face and a large nose called Arashi.
"Yes Captain." Said Iwa's ninjas, ignoring Nori as if he did not exist.
What can a single ninja do against fifteen chunins and one jonin?
Seeing that, Nori quickly executed a seal.
"Tiger!"
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Thirty clones immediately appeared around Nori surprising the Iwa's ninjas and almost instently Nori's clones executed multiple seals.
"Snake , Dragon , Rabbit , Tiger!" ×15
"Tiger , Ox , Dog , Rabbit, Snake!"×15
"Katon : Dragon Flame Jutsu!" × 15
"Fūton : Great Breakthrough" ×15
" Cooperation Ninjutsu!"
"Katon : Incandescent Fire cloud !!!!"
15 clones spat out fifteen gigantic columns of fire that merges with fifteen other huge ball of compressed air, creating a blue fire cloud of about fifty meters.
The fire cloud headed violently at Iwa's ninjas.
