Chapter 22: Rewards
As Sensei's chakra made contact with the Fire-ball, it seemed to slowly convert the fireballs chakra into normal chakra.
"What's going on?!" Shouted the woman. However Sensei suddenly disappeared from his spot, appeared beside the woman and knocked her out by hitting her neck.
"Sensei, what was that?" I asked as he approached me.
"That's something only I can use in the world." He said with a slightly arrogant smirk on his face.
"Yes but I have never heard of someone being able to just…cancel a Jutsu." Sensei nodded as he put her body onto the floor.
"That would make sense, since anyone who has heard of my style of fighting is either dead or someone who doesn't care enough to spread it." Sensei said casually.
I never really understood Naido sensei as an NPC. He was laid back sometimes yet strict some other times. There never really was a time where I could tell how he would behave.
Now there's this new thing.
"Anyways Shikomu, this was an extremely casual first actual mission huh." He asked as an entire wall broke down revealing more weapons. "Right…." (Author's note: FOR ANYONE disappointed, I was just trying to make it slightly more realistic wherever I could. It doesn't make sense for a Genin to be fighting actively in an A-rankish mission. The next true proper mission, I will make sure the mc has 1 or 2 close fights. This was more to build plot)
…
It took roughly a week for me to return back to the village, and thus the entire mission was only 1 month long, leaving me 2 more months to the Chunin exams, and right now is time for me to collect my rewards.
Sensei gave the entire report to the Hokage and I just backed him up on most parts.
"Well then Shikomu." The Hokage called out to me.
"It seems like you have finished your first A-rank mission. Albeit this was not planned or at that difficulty level, the village will make sure to compensate you for it. Tell me, other than Ryo, what is it you desire?" He asked me.
As he did, I acted like I was thinking about it for a second before mentioning what I had been planning for a bit. "Hokage-sama. I have been training in the Fuinjutsu books Shikaku had gotten me, and I read inside of the book made by Jiraya-sama that the 4th Hokage had some seals he had created for a Jutsu named the 'Flying Thunder God Jutsu.' I was wondering if I could study the notes of his Fuinjutsu. I do not need the entire Jutsu formula, I am just interested in the seals." The Hokage thought about it for a little before replying.
"Well, it would be hard for you to figure out the Jutsu from just Minato's seal…so sure, I will send you some of his notes and teleportation seals used inside of the Jutsu.|" "Thank you, Hokage-Sama." "Well if that is all, take a week off. You are dismissed for now." The Hokage told me and I left the room. As I did, I got a notification from the system.
[Crucial Mission
Rank: B
Description: The Hokage has personally assigned you to a mission he believes is around C-rank difficulty yet is classified as B-rank due to the distance of the mission. He wants you to investigate the movements of the civilians inside of the Land of Earth
Reward:
Gaining recognition as a true Shinobi of Konoha and improved relationship with your Sensei. Provided a set amount of Ryo depending on completion rate.
{Hidden rewards are applicable from B-rank}
Additional rewards: 300EXP- ??? EXP Depending on completion rate]
[Congratulations as your mission was classified as an A-rank mission]
[The host has gained 500 EXP]
[The host has gained 0.1 EXP X 10 for killing 10 civilian players]
[The host has gained 1 EXP X 5 for killing 5 Genin Players]
{The system has provided the host 194 EXP for destroying a players 'vassal' village}
{The host has gained 700 EXP in total. Congratulations}
It seems like destroying everything in sight is a very easy way to get stronger.
But that being said it's also a very easy way to get a target on my back.
It is not smart for me to go on a rampage without being an Elite Jounin at least, since outside of this village is a death sentence.
Well with Danzo here the inside isn't really safe too.
{System announcement: Special player, Techno-Queen has been killed. 1 of the 6 world chat spots have been destroyed}
It seems like the world chat was a permanent thing as well, which is a good thing. It gives much more advantages for early players.
Honestly I'm curious as to how the new players will impact the world.
They will probably be able to get C and B rank legacy jutsu, and the second batch might even get S rank ones as the world progresses.
But the later they log in, the less their advantages.
The second batch cannot become sages.
What if the 3rd batch has something restricting them from becoming a Jinchuriki?
That's a problem for them anyways.
For now I needed to meet sensei again since he promised me a new jutsu.
I walked over to our usual training ground, to see him sleeping in front of a Buddha Statue.
"Sensei?" I called out, to which he quickly woke up in shock.
"Shikomu? He questions out in slight surprise as he quickly wiped some drool from his face and sat up right.
"I was just praying."
"Sure. Anyways, sensei, you promised me a new offensive Jutsu after the mission."
"Right…I did say that. Let's see. Ah yes, I'll teach you Lightning Dispersal." He said as he clapped his hands.
[Ninjutsu: Lightning Dispersal
Rank: B Description: This Jutsu requires Proficient Lightning Elemental mastery to reach its peak potential. It is a jutsu that borders the A rank in the area of effect destructive capabilities, as chakra is transferred from the soles of one's feet and dispersed in a small radius depending on the chakra output and destroys everything in its path. It is a jutsu that requires only 3 hand signs, and non upon mastery
Proficiency: 1/500 ]
"Ah…sensei. Is it possible if I can ever learn the Dismantle technique you showed before ?" I questioned.
That was an extremely powerful Jutsu style, considering he can literally yeet a Fireball that was at the S rank.
"That depends on you I guess. I never had a reason to teach it. Impress me and I will teach it to you." He said, as he slowly went back into his sleeping posture.
I nodded at him and went to Ichiraku Ramen to see Naruto eating and explaining what happened in the Land of Waves to Iruka.
"And then, Sasuke threw this massive Shuriken, but I was under it the wh….SHIKOMU!" Naruto shouted as he quickly ran over to me.
Iruka seemed shocked as he saw Naruto talking to someone else.
"Hey Naruto." I greeted the whiskered boy.
He seemed genuinely happy to see me, which was something nice.
"Come, I was just telling Iruka sensei about my mission. I don't think you guys have met too."
It was that day I met Iruka for the first time.
…
After that and training with Lee, who came back from his mission, I went back to greet Shikamaru and Shikaku.
Logging out, I could see the forums going crazy over the death of the Techno Queen.
Apparently, she was relatively well known in the real world.
The heiress of a branch of the Union, and the daughter of the head of an E-Sports guild.
She was publicly being condemned for failing when she was so far ahead but made no statement regarding it.
She now couldn't log in until the second year of in-game time.
Well that's one issue that's sorted for me.
I wonder how this whole fun's thing is going to develop without their head.
Probably not going far unless the second in command takes charge.
Even then, for at least 9 more months in game time, I hopefully didn't have to worry about massive movements from the gun users.
Like that, 1 more week had passed in game, and I made decent progress.

I used 50 points on each, my Physique and Chakra amounts, and gained 50 each through my own training, making them reach 200.
I can immediately jump to the Joinin rank. But I didn't want my control over my Jutsu to drop.
My goal was just to become a Jounin before the exams, which should let me survive the arch.
I also gains 500 points in my Fuinjutsu, and added another 500, making me reach what seemed like the intermediate rank.
It was perfect, since some Anbu just dropped by Minato's notes on the Flying Thunder God.
It was time for me to grind and become one of the fastest Shinobi alive.
