Chereads / Solo Journey / Chapter 18 - Chapter 17

Chapter 18 - Chapter 17

It had been a few days since the third hokage's death. He, as well as konoha's fallen shinobi were mourned.

Yesterday, Jiraiya had taken Naruto to go bad find Tsunade. He knows that by now Itachi and Sasuke should have already fought and Might Guy should be on his way back with Sasuke.

All of this just reminds Izuna that he'll be leaving the village soon. He has a target before he leaves the village. The scroll of sealing. He knew that Jiraiya and Naruto would be back in a little over a week so this would be the best time to grab it and make a copy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'System, is the scroll of sealing in the store? If so then how many system points does it cost.'

{The scroll of sealing is currently available in the store and it costs 600,000SP.}

He almost vomited blood just looking at the price.

'If I can get my hands on the scroll of sealing, how much will it cost to duplicate it?'

He hopes the price wasn't as ridiculous as the last one.

{It would cost 4000SP.}

That's still not an easy number. I barely get up to 100SP per shinobi.

'How many system points do I have currently?'

{Host currently has 8,470SP.}

'When did I get those points?'

He couldn't think of what he did to get that amount of points until the system spoke up.

{You got those points from those kusa-nin you killed during the invasion.}

'Oh. I need to pay more attention'

Since there is no current person occupying the hokage seat, this would be the best time to go for it. Unless I see Danzo seating in the chair like a creep, then I'm ready for anything.

'I'll make my move tonight.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When night fell, a blur could be seen appearing and disappearing on the rooftops of konoha buildings.

The figure stopped just before the hokage building. This figure is obviously Izuna. He activated his sharingan as he searched the exterior of the building for any guarding shinobi.

He could teleport right to the hiraishin marker he has on the hokage's table but he's not sure who is in the office. For all he knew, the anbu could be hiding inside the shadows of the office.

At this point, he wishes he had Obito's kamui. He weaves hand seals.

"Hiding Camouflage Technique"

He disappeared from the naked eye but there was a slight distortion in his position. He jumped to the window and saw one of the third hokage's advisors on the seat.

'I expected it to be Danzo seated there.'

If he's there, that means there isn't any anbu inside. Such lax security.

'Hiraishin'

He disappeared and then appeared in front of the desk with his sharingan active. The advisor wanted to raise an alarm but alas it was too late, he had already been put to sleep by genjutsu.

'I'm on limited time. Let's make this quick, shall we?'

He searched the desks inside out but couldn't find anything. Not even a clue on where it could be. He was about to give up when he saw a storage seal drawn underneath the table.

Channeling chakra to it, a puff of smoke appeared and in his hand was the scroll of sealing.

'Jackpot. System, copy the scroll.'

{That will cost 4000SP. Do wish to continue.}

'Yes'

{Copying...}

It was a few seconds until the system spoke again.

{Copied scroll of sealing is now in your inventory.}

I put the original scroll backing it's place.

'What am I going to do about him. It's not like he's even supposed to be here so he can't complain to anyone.'

I travel to my hiraishin marker in the Uchiha compound, leaving the advisor drunk in his seat. I quickly change out of my clothes into some comfortable ones before going to bed.

'It's almost time. I'm getting impatient.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A week has passed since Izuna copies the scroll of sealing. He couldn't find anything to do with the week, so he decided to learn a few jutsu from the scroll.

He had leant some but they weren't mastered. He finally decided to learn medical ninjutsu, after all there won't always be someone to heal or patch him up.

He's been making good progress. At the stage he's in, he could only heal small wounds. Bigger wounds and life threatening injuries were still far from his range.

He was currently at the hospital as Tsunade had already come back and was here to heal Kakashi, Sasuke and Lee. She had told Lee to give up on his dream of being a shinobi.

Izuna could heal him easily but what's the point. He shadowed her throughout the day as she made her rounds in the hospital.

As she left one of the patients room, she walked for a while before stopping. She spoke without turning.

Tsunade:"Why are you following me?"

Izuna:"I want to learn medical ninjutsu."

She finally turned around to see...nobody? She turned back to the direction she was walking, only to come face to face with Izuna. She stumbled back a little.

Tsunade:'How did he sneak up on me like that! If he want to kill me, I'd be dead already! Just who is this kid?'

Tsunade quickly regained her composure as she sees him still there with a stoic look.

Tsunade:"Who are you?"

Izuna:"Uchiha Izuna"

Tsunade's eyebrows shot to her hairline.

Tsunade:'Uchiha?'

Tsunade:"This is the first time I've seen an Uchiha want to learn medical ninjutsu."

Izuna:"There's a first time for everything."

She thought about it and she didn't have anything to lose by teaching him, but first,

Tsunade:"Do you at least know the basics on medical ninjutsu."

Izuna showed his palm as it lit up with a light green color. It would occasionally shake but there was not doubt that it was the 'Healing Palm Technique'.

Tsunade is pleasantly surprised.

Tsunade:"Follow me"

For the rest of the day, they had attended to patients while she taught Izuna how to properly use the healing palm. Izuna soaked up everything at such a high rate that Tsunade was shocked.

The progress he made in just a few hours in more than the progress she made in months when she was learning it. Little did she know that Izuna was using his sharingan to analyze her technique.

At the end of the day, he had made huge progress.

"I'll take everything I can learn from her."

As they part ways, Izuna went back to the Uchiha compound while Tsunade went to the former senju clan compound.

When she finally gets inside, she stops.

Tsunade:"Jiraiya, If you don't come out right now, I swear I'll kill you."

Jiraiya lands in front of her with nervously sweating.

Jiraiya:"Calm down. I wasn't doing anything."

Tsunade places her hand on her forehead and sighs before asking.

Tsunade:"Why are you here?"

Jiraiya adopted a serious face. Which shocked Tsunade.

Jiraiya:"I hear you've taken a student."

Tsunade:"He's not my student. I'm just improving what he already knows on medical ninjutsu. What's wrong with that?"

Jiraiya:"Uchiha Izuna. Be careful around him. He's dangerous."

Tsunade nods in understanding.

Tsunade:"I know. He managed to sneak up on me in the hospital."

Jiraiya shakes his head before having a grave expression.

Jiraiya:"That's not all. My toad summon, Gamabunta, told me that he subdued the ichibi in just two moves. He would have killed him, if not that Naruto stopped him."

Tsunade now, was very shocked but Jiraiya wasn't done.

Jiraiya:"His talent far surpasses Uchiha itachi and exceeds Madara's. I'm just here to warn you. "

Tsunade finally recovers from her shock.

Tsunade:"So what do we do with him."

Jiraiya:"We just need to make sure he doesn't end up like Madara and betray the leaf."
