|| Back to the Real World ||
As soon as the sudden flash from the Genjutsu subsided, three toads was seen on the shoulder and head of Akira singing this alluring song of rhythmic croaking...
~~~ Croak* Cro* Ak* Croak* Cro* Ak* Croak* Cro* Ak* Croak* Cro* Ak* ~~~
Akira was shocked at what he is seeing. It is a Genjutsu so strong that even he who is not targetted is starting to feel dizzy...
This Genjutsu was obviously not casted by Hiruzen Sarutobi or Danzo Shimura... It was made by the ellusive toads of Mount Myoboko on the request of Hiruzen to Jiraiya.
A Genjutsu imbued with Sage Art of the Mount Myoboku... This Genjutsu was powerful enough to even affect Akira Uchiha and even force him to activate his one tomoe sharingan...
' Wha- What is this? This Genjutsu is so strong'
Hiruzen looked at Akira who was visibly shocked at the situations and said
" This is the Elusive Mount Myoboku - Song of a thousand illusions, and every rhythm is keeping the Genjutsu active... Once the Rhythmic Croaking stops it means Shiiro either died or he finished the exam"
Akira while still looking at the toads nodded in understanding and then looked directly at Hiruzen with his 3 tomoe sharingan...
" Lord Hiruzen! What do you mean when he dies!?"
Akira as a person of the Uchiha Clan who specializes even in the Genjutsu field knows the side effects of a person dying in a Genjutsu casted technique... Especially a strong one, for it takes a large toll on the one trapped inside the Genjutsu...
" Calm yourself Uchiha boy!! This is the Hokage office and you dare use your Sharingan in front of the Hokage himself!?"
As soon as Danzo spoke a squad of Root and Anbu ninjas appeared and surrounded Hiruzen and Akira...
" Danzo! And everyone retreat at once!! "
Hiruzen was visibly angry at Danzo and he looked at Akira next
" Akira Uchiha you will be punished for this misconduct... The Mount Myoboku sage art prevents the mind from being affected when dying, it is explained properly in the Terms and Conditions...
It states there transparently that The Sage Art protects the mind and soul of the person casted with the Genjutsu, so Shiiro should be fine no matter what happens to him... So stand down Akira"
Danzo who was standing in front of Akira was also visibly angry as he could have got rid of the Vice Chief of the Uchiha Military Police Force here and then...
While all the Root and Anbu squads dispersed, Danzo was slowly walking back to his sit
" I am terribly sorry for my misconduct lord Hiruzen, i will accept the punishment my lord"
Akira who out of his muscle reflex activated his Three Tomoe Sharingan in anger... And was now seeing his mistake as he was reprimanded by Danzo and Hiruzen.
" It seems like the potency of the Genjutsu gave the nature of its danger to you Akira... But these toads are specialized on Genjutsu using Sage Art... Your outburst may have been understandable but, the use of your Sharingan or any other Kekkei Genkai is banned in the Hokage Office. As punishment, you will be going on an S-Rank Mission but its pay will be half and your achievement will not be recognized even if you finish the mission or not.
You are also required to finish the mission and failure to do so will have you quarantined at your home for a month, understood Akira? "
Akira nodded in agreement while not being able to make eye contact with Hiruzen, so all he could do now was wait for his son to finish the exam.
5 minutes had passed and Hiruzen stood next to Shiiro while reaching for his head, he then spoke
" Project me to the location of Shiiro Uchiha"
Another blinding light was casted and it was directed at Hiruzen...
" Shiiro Uchiha you have 5 Minutes left for the Examination... Failure to comply with the deadline will lead to your disqualification in the Exam"
Shiiro who just finished destroying the South East Outpost looked at Hiruzen and nodded...
Then Hiruzen disappeared as if he was a ghost.
|| Shiiro Uchiha P.O.V ||
As shiiro had finished his scouting on the South East Outpost, he assessed the situation inside the outpost and analyzed some possible scenarios to destroy this Outpost...
He couldn't make another mess like the last time and this outpost was double the size of the previous outpost, so it will obviously be harder to destroy and might even get reinforcement from the Eastern Outpost as it was close by.
' It seems ill have to do this hard way then...'
' Let's first kill off all of the Genin Shinobi in their ranks'
Shiiro Uchiha slowly killed off most of the Genin Shinobi in the Enemy ranks while also taking out a few of the Chuunin ranked Shinobis.
This onslaught lasted for 6 whole days without Shiiro getting noticed.
But unfortunately due to the loss of many shinobi the outpost became more alert and signalled a total lockdown they also sent for reinforcement from the Eastern Outpost.
As well as some scouting shinobi consisting of a team of Chuunin led by one Elite Chuunin.
Although the outpost was weakened, this had caused a problematic scenario for Shiiro, now he has to do everything as fast as possible.
And so he did.
' I'll have to remove the gravity seal restrictions for now and finish everyone of as fast as possible'
a lone child was seen wondering inside the Outpost, everyone had paid no mind to the child.
But this proved to be the biggest mistake that they could ever make. Because as soon as the sound of explosion was heard this child disappeared and begun slaughtering all of the people in the outpost, using but only a Tonto Blade and one Kunai.
The strategy was the same. 3 whole days was spent for laying down the explosive tags and after the tags was the diversion.
Before it may have just been a Shadow Clone, but now it was the real Shiiro that begun slaughtering the people in the outpost
2 Days passed and Shiiro was extremely tired, he rested for a day and cleaned himself off.
Shiiro slaughtered more than a dozen of Chuunin and 7 Elite Chuunin that was in the outpost and 3 Elite Chuunin as well as the Chuunin that was scouting the areas...
Because of this he was tired, extremely tired... And was on the verge of collapsing due to the exhaustion and fatigue of fighting and moving everywhere for 2 weeks.
So after he cleaned himself he dozed of somewhere in a cave and rested for 16 hours that day.
Then after Shiiro had just been refreshed, a spectral form of Hiruzen had arrived on the cave and asked for a debriefing of the situation he was on and what was the progress...
Shiiro respectfully informed Hiruzen about the situation and it was seen that Hiruzen was visibly shocked at the situation.
A mere 8 year old child was not only randomly assigned an A Class Mission, but was also going the worst path in the scenario.
The path where the Outpost was heavily guarded by Chuunins and Elite Chuunins, Obviously Shiiro had not known about this from the start but as soon as he found the Elite Chuunins he begun to think that he was going the hard way.
But he couldn't just stop now because of the time limit of the examination and just unconsciously thought about continuing the mission and didn't even think that there could be other missions scattered throughout the battlefield...
Shiiro finished off his report and was awaiting for hiruzens orders.
Hiruzen was even more shocked at the situation when he knew that Shiiro had only used explosion tags, a kunai and a tonto blade.
Not even one ninjutsu was used to finish of his enemies, well except for the distraction where he used the Shadow Clone Jutsu.
" Cough* Cough* Ahem, Shiiro you are doing extremely well on the mission, indeed. And so I am here to inform you that 5 Minutes had passed. You are able to pass now if you so wanted but if you want to finish the mission you are free to decide."
Shiiro looked at hiruzen with a confused look because he didn't even finish the mission yet. But he can already pass the exam if he wanted to?
Shiiro who had just been refreshed had remembered the exhaustion and fatigue that he went through from all of those moving and fighting.
Even though he trained so hard to do missions such as this, it still couldn't compare when it is really experienced first hand.
This mission proved that he was still not ready for such harsh missions, he understood that if he tried to continue now he could possibly die. Especially if he faced the danger of the Daimyo and his Jounin squad.
And so Shiiro said to Hiruzen...
