Clod's entire family was murdered, along with many others, during the 2nd Great Ninja War when Kumo ninjas breached Konoha. Since that day, Clod promised to become so strong that no one could endanger him. Eighteen years later, he became an elite Jonin. He became the disciple of the Hokage due to his amazing talent. The Hokage issued him an S-rank mission in the Land of Noodles. Although he was already an S-rank ninja, to ensure the mission went smoothly, he brought along a couple of Jonins. The objective was to escort the feudal lord from the Land of Noodles to the Land of Fire. This was a crucial mission due to the safety of the feudal lord. After the meeting ended, they started moving towards the Land of Fire. The journey somewhat went smoothly, but nearing the border, Clod sensed some chakras. Immediately, he ordered his troops to be on guard to maximize the safety of the feudal lord. Some ninjas emerged from the bushes and blocked their way. "Don't try to block us, we are from the Leaf," said Clod. "Oh, you are from the Leaf, you make our job easier," said one of the ninjas. "Looks like it's futile talking. Wind Style: Vacuum Bullet Jutsu," he said, shooting three vacuum bullets at the targets. The ambushers dodged the bullets by flickering. They made hand signs, and suddenly, a lightning cage appeared around them. Clod and the other Jonins used a combination jutsu using fire and wind elements. Cracks appeared in the cage. The ambushers also used combination jutsus, mixing water and lightning. This jutsu was a fusion between a water dragon and a lightning dragon. Clod and his team immediately made hand signs to create Earth Release: Mud Wall, but it wasn't enough to stop it. Clod flickered away, but one of his Jonins got hit by the remaining impact. Due to the impact, his shoulder was blasted away, and the other two Jonins were affected.
As the clash intensified, Clod swiftly assessed the situation, realizing the gravity of the threat they faced. With determination burning in his eyes, he formulated a new strategy on the spot.
"Focus on defense! We need to protect the feudal lord at all costs," Clod commanded, his voice cutting through the chaos.
With practiced precision, Clod and his team adjusted their tactics. The remaining Jonins formed a protective barrier around the feudal lord, while Clod engaged the enemy head-on. His movements were swift and calculated, his attacks aimed with deadly precision.
The enemy ninjas, sensing Clod's resolve, launched a relentless assault, their jutsus crackling with fierce power. But Clod remained undeterred. With each clash, he analyzed his opponent's movements, searching for weaknesses to exploit.
In a burst of speed, Clod maneuvered through the battlefield, countering each attack with unwavering resolve. His comrades fought valiantly beside him, their determination matching his own.
As the battle raged on, Clod's determination began to turn the tide. With strategic brilliance, he seized control of the battlefield, forcing the enemy on the defensive.
Amidst the chaos, Clod focused his chakra, channeling it into a devastating technique. With a mighty roar, he unleashed his signature move, "Raging Thunderstorm Fist!" Bolts of lightning surged from his fists, crackling with raw power as they tore through the enemy's defenses.
But the enemy was not so easily defeated. With a cunning grin, they unleashed their ultimate technique, a devastating fusion of fire and wind jutsu known as "Inferno Tempest."
Realizing the gravity of the situation, Clod gritted his teeth, his determination burning brighter than ever. With a surge of adrenaline, he rallied his team for one final assault.
"Everyone, together!" Clod shouted, his voice ringing with unwavering resolve.
With a synchronized battle cry, Clod and his team unleashed a barrage of jutsu, their elemental attacks converging into a blinding vortex of power.
They were in a stalemate. Knowing that more enemies could appear, Clod ordered the remaining Jonin to escort the feudal lord to the Land of Fire safely while he held back the ambushers. The Jonins nodded and used their jutsus to escape the area with the feudal lord.
"My chakra is almost depleted, and they are already surrounding us. It looks like I won't live until reinforcements come," Clod muttered to himself. He saw the enemies preparing their jutsus. "It seems like I won't make it out alive. If I'm going to die, I'm taking you all with me," he laughed manically, saying that. Clod made hand signs, his body started glowing. The enemies became startled by the sudden development. They tried to create shields, but it wasn't enough. Everything within a 50-meter radius exploded.
After what seemed like an eternity, Clod opened his eyes. He found himself in an unfamiliar environment. Suddenly, a flood of memories overwhelmed his mind. After some time, the pain lifted, and he became aware that he had somehow come to inhabit the body of a nine-year-old boy living in the modern world.
