Naruto's Strongest Shinobi

Chapter 14 - First C-rank Mission

"It seems like team 2 is the best team this year haha," said the kunoichi in front of us, she was the one in charge of handing the mission list.

D-rank missions were easy for us, we didn't take too long on any D rank mission. After they noticed at the rapid speed that we completed the mission they got scared we will leave nothing for the other new teams.

And so we came to today, "D-rank missions are used to test new teams and to teach them how to gather intelligence, use stealth to approach a target and use a variety of techniques to complete them in a safe and secure environment, but it seems like your team is ready to move to C rank missions Yuki," she finished saying while giving our sensei a list of C rank missions.

"Well, we'll get this one," Yuki pointed to the one that said 'Clear a band of bandits'.

"Okay, I'll put it in the record, good luck out there," she was saying while putting the file on a list called ongoing missions.

"This mission is not going to be easy, in this one we might take the lives of other people. This is a fairly easy mission, the bandits are normal people that rob and have killed civilians. See you tomorrow at 8 a.m. ready to leave Konoha and search for the bandits," We heard Yuki before he disappeared.

As soon as he said that Shinko seemed nervous and anxious, Itachi seem to be thinking about the mission details while I didn't care that much. I knew from the beginning that being in the Naruto world wasn't like following Naruto around, where killing was really rare.

"Hey guys let's go and eat something since tomorrow we're starting our first C-rank mission," Shinko tried to be joyful, probably thought we were the same as her.

"Yeah let's go and eat something, I was thinking of dango's what about you all?" I said while dragging Itachi to the restaurant.

"Yeah dango is fine," Shinko responded.

"Fine by me," Itachi said with a defeated face.

"All right it's decided haha," I said with a laugh.

"Mom, Dad, I'm home!" I yelled as I opened the door to my house.

"Okay son, food will be ready in a little bit, put everything away and go call your father, he's at the training room."

"Mom I already ate, can you make me something light?"

"You should tell me sooner if you go out to eat, I already made your plate," My mom said frustrated.

"I'll eat it later, I'm going to train after we eat and I'll be hungry."

"Okay, okay," she finally said.

Once we were all seated at the table, they asked the usual questions.

"So how was your day son?" My dad questioned me, he would do that since I became a shinobi.

"You know dad, like usual, went and completed a D-rank mission and turned it in."

"You've been completing missions fast, you will take C-rank missions in no time if you keep this up," he said proudly.

"Yes Kira, you should keep this up and you'll be a great ninja in no time haha," my mom, said happily.

"About that, today we got issued our first C-rank mission."

"Hmm, yes in no time yo... WHAT!? You just got your first C-rank mission?" My dad said with a shocked expression.

"It hasn't been even a week and you are already moving to C-rank mission! Are you sure you heard right?" My father kept on questioning what I had just said.

"Yes dad I'm sure, they said that we were completing D-rank missions too fast. They were probably scared of us taking all the missions and them not having missions for the rest of the teams," I kept saying with a casual expression.

"Well your team has indeed been going through a lot of missions," my mom said with a serious expression.

"I guess if you are going to complete a C-rank mission, it's best if we geared you up. First, you'll need a tent where you can rest, some food supplies that will last you for a few days, and water. There's a lot of stuff to do! You should have told us sooner son," dad had a thoughtful look while saying all of that.

"So what is your mission?" Mom said still with a serious and nervous expression.

"Clear a bandits camp, we're supposed to leave by 8 a.m. tomorrow."

"8 a.m.! There's not a lot of time now, I'll get you some tools for camping, and new shurikens," my dad said while eating faster.

"And I'll cook you some food and prepare you some beef jerky that will last you for a few days," my mom said as well.

The day went on, my parents were rushing the whole day going to the store, making food, and testing the camping set. They also gave me tips on things that could go wrong and how to prevent them, things to look out for in the wild such as animals and poisonous plants.

As I approached Konoha's gate, I saw Itachi and Yuki already waiting for me, it seemed that Shinko wasn't here yet.

"Hey Itachi, Sensei, It seems we are just waiting for Shinko and leaving right?"

"That's right, Once she arrives we'll be on our way," responded Yuki.

Not long after Shinko appeared and we went on our way, nothing exciting happened on our way to the area of investigation where the last bandit raid occurred.

On the side of the road, we saw a few three carriages, there was nobody but bloodstains.

"First thing we need to do is access the situation and risks, please take a look around and see what you find. Also in this battle, I won't ȧssist you, everything will be handled by you three," Yuki finished saying as he used the body flickered in front of us.

"Okay well let's go and get started," I said while activating the Byakugan. Itachi went into the carriages while Shinko looked at the bloodstains. After a few minutes, we gathered together.

"23 people in total, it seemed like they were 3 groups, one group ran off and the other two seemed to get in a fight," I said what I got from investigating.

"There seems to be some ninjas, the carriages have some burnt marks, they are not that strong so we can conclude that they are genin," Itachi finished saying.

"There are some injured people but no one died, It wasn't long enough that they fought since the blood hasn't dried off completely," Shinko concluded.

"Okay, so three groups, one ran off and the other two fought. They used jutsus on their fight and people got injured, after the fight they went there separate ways. If there are two bandits group fighting for the loot here, we might have to separate, to get them," I said.

"No! We should stay together incase something goes wrong. What happens if they are stronger than us." Shinko wanted us to stay together as a group.

"Shinko does have a point, although we can see they are genin we don't really know there strength," Itachi also agreed with Shinko.

"Hmm, our mission stated to get rid of the bandits in these area, if we only get rid of one group and let the other one roaming around it won't be completed. If the other group goes into hiding it will be more complicated to find them. I suggest you Itachi and Shinko goes after the group that left towards the right, and I'll follow the group on the left. After all you are a combat shinobi while Shinko specializes in medical ninjutsu, you can fight and she can heal you in an emergency. I can handle my own, having the Byakugan and my clan's taijutsu is a combination not a lot of genins can handle, plus I know some medical ninjutsu, not even counting my clones," I gave the most logical explanation to complete the mission fast.

"You do have a point there, I'm also confident in fighting a group of genins, specially if I had Shinko with her medical ninjutsu," Itachi gave in and agreed to me.

"Argh! These is dangerous and we should stay as a team!" Shinko still thought it was a bad idea and was adamant in us continuing chasing one group.

"Two against one haha. Here, this scroll contains a fire jutsu that will explode making a deafening sound, use it in case something goes wrong, it will blind the enemy for a while and give you time to run off. I'm going to send a clone with you just incase, it will guide and help you in the fight." I said while making a clone and handing them the scroll.

"Good luck," Itachi said.

Shinko still gave a look, like she wanted me to change my mind.

"Don't worry, I have more scrolls, I'm a though guy to kill," I tried to lighten Shinko mood.

Yuki appeared right where we planned the strategy to solve the bandit groups, "These kids, they should stay together in case of trouble, I shall send a clone to watch over Itachi's group and go after Akira since he's one vs a group," Yuki said as a clone appeared and went after Itachi.

After Yuki sensei showed up to my location, he was stunned.

'Five persons in front of people, three are injured while the other 2 just look tired,' I said as I looked through my Byakugan. 'Altough I'm confident in abilities I should finish these quickly.'

I made five clones, all of them activated their Byakugan and approached the group quietly. It was good that they ran deep into a forest, with a lot of camouflage, and reducing my noise with the teachings of silent killing they were in my range except for one.

"Eight Trigrams: 32 palms" was all the sound that I produced, all of my clones closed in and started attacking four of the the five bandits. The bandits looked stun and tried to attack but it was already to late, after a series of attack they were useless. Having you tenketsu blocked was a real problem that a normal person had no means to counter.

"Well, now we can have a one on one haha," I said with some emotions, after all these was going to be my first real fight.

"Who are you kid?!" the last ninja said as he look at his team being tied by the clones.

"A shinobi from Konoha, and I'm here to eliminate the bandits causing trouble."

"Don't get so full of yourselve, I'm stronger than them, if you think you can take me out so easily you're mistaken!" He said while doing the handing for a fire jutsu.

As soon as I saw that he was going to form a ninjutsu I threw a shuriken to him and used body flicker to get next to him instantly. Once he saw he didn't have a choice he use taijutsu, but let me tell you, using taijutsu against a Hyuga that has the Byakugan is a really bad idea, only a few people could contend against my clan in taijustu.

I could end this fight as soon as I got near him, but I wanted to gain some experience, having a spar and someone trying to kill you was really different, one mistake and you can die.

I was analyzing the best tactics and how the enemy reacts to me, I was having so much fun at this moment.

"Yuki is about to approached, we need to finish this soon," One of my clones said as he look towards the road.

"Hmm although I am having fun is not that interesting, fighting someone that wants me dead is a new experience, sadly, you are too weak," I said as I punched him in his heart.

I used a lot of chakra, didn't want to make a mistake. This was a type of training for me, I wanted to see if killing someone will affect me. As I delivered the blow and his heart exploded my clones dispersed.

I just stood there watching him fall.

I crouched next to him and just thought to myself, 'That was easy, no suspense no nothing.'
