"It's always a pleasure, kid!"
...
It was a cool summer morning in the Uchiha apartment. Itachi Uchiha could be seen meditating on the balcony with his eyes closed and breathing in and out in slow measured breaths. He had been at it for nearly 50 minutes and it seemed he was in deep focus before he suddenly opened his eyes revealing scarlet patterned eyes. He went into a handstand and began doing push-ups . After doing a hundred handstand push-ups he did a flip into a squat stance and then began doing squats.
The young teen did various different exercises before he stopped, putting an end to the session. He went to the bathroom to shower off all the sweat and grim from his intense workout.
After the shower the black haired teen got dressed into his favorite navy high collar long sleeved shirt with matching black slacks and black sneakers. He strapped on his pouch filled with multiple kunai knives, shuriken and newly added smoke pellets.
'I might need to invest in some armor soon. I don't know when I'll run into another monster that can bypass my physical prowess like that ogre did,' the teenager thought to himself, unconsciously rubbing his right arm.
"Itachi! Don't forget to drop off the flowers on your way to the bank!" Izumi yelled over the sound of the vacuum in her room.
"Got it," Itachi responded as he closed the door to the apartment with a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
He quickly made his way downtown and dropped off the flowers at the corner store downtown. It was a small flower shop that Izumi provided flowers for from her balcony garden for a few thousand yen. He had to commend Izumi on her ability to turn her hobby into a profit.
He would then quickly make his way to the Gunma Bank Niragawa in downtown Tokyo city. Itachi was there to make a new debit card after he created his bank account for all the funds he gained from his dungeon raids. The concept of a bank account wasn't unfamiliar to the prodigal Uchiha, because he came from a prestigious clan the Uchiha Clan, in his previous life. Managing the clan's funds were one of the responsibilities that his father, Fugaku Uchiha, tried to groom him for due to Itachi being the Clan heir at the time.
'I have a substantial bit of money. I can contact Shin and ask him where I should invest for some good equipment,' Itachi mused to himself thinking about how his right arm was easily broken by the Ogre attacks.
...
"Number 134!" was shouted out by a loud feminine voice. Itachi stood up and walked to the till, because that was his number being called out.
"How may I help you, young man?" a black haired woman dressed in a grey pullover asked kindly.
"I would like to have a debit card made and to deposit this money into the card," Itachi explained handing his bank book to the woman.
"Not a problem!" she said as accepted the book from Itachi's hands. She looked down and saw they figure he wanted to deposit and widened her eyes briefly.
'103 million yen? He's just a teenager so how...?' she questioned to herself. "If you wouldn't mind me asking, are you perhaps a hunter?" she asked pointedly.
"Yes," he answered simply.
'That explains it. They say hunters make a lot of money... He's just a kid, but his rank must be pretty high,' she thought to herself.
'The profits from the A-rank raid really boosted the money in my bank account. This should be enough to pay off most of Izumi's debt... At least for now," Itachi thought to himself as he denied the VIP offer from the lady and then left after he got his debit card.
...
"Uchiha Itachi, huh?" a very smooth voice questioned a handsome middle aged man with shaggy black hair and a well trimmed beard. "Yes," the handsome man replied with his arms folded in behind his back.
The two powerful men were walking side by side inside the prestine hallways of the Hunter Association Headquarters. "You know you make things very difficult for me, Goto Ryuji," replied the voice of a middle aged man with thick black hair, a black mustache and goatee.
"You are still in my debt, Matsumoto Shigeo. Don't forget who pleaded on your behalf when you didn't cover your tracks properly. This is the least you could do," Goto Ryuji, Guild master of the most powerful guild in Japan, said to Matsumoto whilst letting his mana leak out deliberately.
"Of course, Guild master. I wouldn't dare to oppose your power. I'll see what I can dig up on this young fellow," The chairman of the Hunter Association replied with sweat dripping down his brow.
The two middle aged men made a turn into the office of the chairman and then sat down across from one another. Matsumoto began to scroll through his computer whilst Goto sat down patiently waiting for him.
"He's got am impressive record for a hunter that started a month ago. 1 A-rank gate, 6 C-ranks and 12 D-ranks," Matsumoto commented on the dungeon raid history of Itachi Uchiha. "He's also 16 years old. Which would make the youngest A-rank hunter to join your guild. Why do you want him if you already have the most S-rank hunters in the country?" Matsumoto questioned Goto on his interest in Itachi.
"It's simple, I'm going to reward him. After all, he was the one who granted me with a new S-rank in the form of Tanaka Kenjo," Goto explained to the chairman. "Is that the only reason?" Matsumoto asked him with a knowing smirk on his face.
"No," Goto replied with the same smirk on his face.
...
"A Rune Stone," Itachi said gripping the all black stone his right hand. He was in the middle of a forest to isolate himself from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo city. He had multiple target points put up throughout the area just like when he went to train in the woods near the Uchiha compound.
He then took a deep breath as he closed his eyes to focus. The blue runic patterns on the stone began to glow brightly as the stone broke apart due to the magical energy building up rapidly and trying to leave it's seal.
The blue energy then flow into Itachi's body and completely covering his figure in a faint blue glow. He then opened his eyes as he clenched his right hand into a fist.
.
.
[Erasure!]
.
.
Itachi chanted as his whole body began to dissappear from sight along with his mana signature almost as if he didn't exist.
Itachi would remain invisible for a few more moments before he would materialize once again. He took a deep breath from the exhaustion he felt from performing the technique.
'Roncole's Preseance Erasure technique really is taxing on my reserves, but if this technique is able to evade even the visual prowess of my sharingan then it's well worth it,' Itachi thought to himself.
Rune Stones are magic techniques that can be learned instantly by hunter. This done by filtering the knowledge of the technique into the hunter's mana system allowing them to perform the technique instantly. However, it will require training to be able to perform the technique efficiently and masterfully.
"Mm!" Itachi grunted as he jumped away from a huge figure barreling straight for him at high speed. The huge figure smashed the ground Itachi was previously standing on as a smoke cloud formed, obscuring the figure.
"As I thought, your senses really are on another level... Uchiha Itachi!" the grinning face of Tanaka Kenjo revealed itself from the slowly clearing smoke.
