Chapter 18: B-Rank Mission
(Author's note: I used a random generator for the affinity to be unbiased guys so don't worry…but then I used a 'Which element am I?' Quiz and got this one so welp :))
The Chakra paper immediately wrinkled.
"Lightning affinity huh…that's my main affinity too." Naido-sensei voiced out.
I turned to him in shock and asked, "So why do you always use the Earth element?"
"Ah…" He said, "That's cause I'm bored, I'm training in my weakest element for fun."
I deadpanned at him. He showed extreme mastery over the earth-element, being able to use it without any hand signs whatsoever. That was for fun?
"Anyways, we can start right away. How about with a Jutsu? What type do you want in your arsenal?" He asked.
"Something that helps in my offense-sensei. I need things that will catch my opponents off guard with my sudden destructive capabilities."
"I have just the thing." He mentioned.
As he said that, I saw another notification.
[You have learnt 1 new Jutsu]
[Ninjutsu: False Darkness
Rank: B
Description: The user emits lightning in the shape of a spear from its mouth, which then pierces the enemy. Its destructive power is great enough to even pierce through rock; meaning it has a high killing potential. The user can increase the number of spears to attack multiple enemies. This, coupled with the sheer speed of the lightning, makes it a difficult technique to evade. This technique is capable of being focused into a straight beam, similar to a laser.
Proficiency:1/ 500 ]
"This one will also be in the long range. And how about this, after you become a Chunin, as a mock graduation gift, I will provide you with a personal Jutsu I had created. You can't learn it yet, you don't have enough Chakra." He mentioned to me.
I nodded at him as he taught me how to use the Jutsu.
I also made 2 clones to study Fuinjutsu. I was going to learn the Flying Thunder God before going back. I might not be able to use it out in the open yet, but I definitely would find an opportunity to soon.
I spent my time training in chakra control.
Sensei made me switch constantly between walking on water and on trees. He then also randomly threw leaves around and expected me to allow some to stick and some to fall.
It was extremely obvious that he was finally taking my training seriously. According to him, after a little more, I would be adept enough with Chakra to allow me to cut my chakra costs by 25%.
He even made my clones train in Chakra control when they weren't efficient in studying. My clones weren't braindead, the AI simulated them to mimic my personality and I myself couldn't study at a 100% for every second.
I could however do multiple forms of training.
I also trained in my Jutsu for the next few days, bringing it to 150 before reaching the desired location in a week, the border of the Land of Earth. We were at our first major checkpoint, but still only halfway through.
Sensei also made me do elemental training, like running lightning chakra through a leaf. However I obviously didn't get it so easily.
Naruto with thousands of clones took a while, I didn't expect to get advanced chakra nature change in a while.
"Shikoumu, I want to hear your thoughts." Naido sensei asked, as we packed our supplies. We would now be officially entering enemy territory.
"Yes, sensei?" I asked.
"How would you propose infiltration? From now on it would be flat lands to the land of Earth from this side of the border. How should we get past enemy ninjas?"
I pondered over his question for a bit. I didn't actually learn stealth tactics too well, but I made sure to read over it. I was supposed to be a ninja after all.
"Sensei, I propose we stake out the border for a bit and watch how the enemy Ninja move. After figuring out their guarding patterns we should make more decisions." I told him.
He nodded at me, as he carried his backpack and placed it inside of his storage scroll.
I too did the same with the scroll he had provided me.
"I already know all those details. While we moved slowly, I already had Shadow-clones scout the area. I just wanted your thoughts on it." Naido sensei said.
He probably sent them right at the start of the mission, since I never saw him make any clones. How much chakra did sensei have? Is he a Kage level shinobi?
"The Ninja on this side of the border are only Chunin, I put most of them in a Genjutsu and let them be. They would report to their Jounin in the same way. I will break it in 30 minutes to not make the Jonin in this area suspicious, so hurry up." He said as he used the Body-flicker Jutsu.
Sensei already told me earlier to take off my training weights since it wasn't safe anymore.
We would still take breaks to do chakra control and Fuinjutsu practice but that was about it.
Sensei and I had to travel through terrain I had never seen, even back inside of my old planet, let alone the post-nuclear Earth.
We moved through valleys, plateaus and even some mountains.
As we moved through, Sensei taught me a lot about infiltration points. I even learnt a basic D-rank jutsu to disguise myself to civilians.
[Genjutsu: Imaginary Illusion Jutsu
Rank: D
Description: The user emits a small chakra wave to make it so he gives off an illusion like a phantom. This is an extremely low ranking Genjutsu and can be seen through by any Ninja with decent deception skills from the Average Genin rank
Proficiency:50/100 ]
Sensei believed this would be enough for now since we would be spying civilians, and if Ninja were there he could just cast the Genjutsu. However I made sure to note down that I had to train in Genjutsu.
Sure I didn't want to be a Kurenai, but I would be a fool to not train in something that could make my life so much easier. Being a Ninja isn't just being strong, at least for now.
Sure, during the 4th-great Ninja war, if that even happens, I could spam strong Jutsu, but for now, I needed to be a good all-rounded Ninja that was prepared for anything.
That is how I will be the top player in this game.
