Chapter 31: Escort Mission and First Blood

A/N:- An extra chapter for you on weekend for reaching a million views.

-----------

It has been three months since my first mission. I turned six a few weeks ago. My training and missions were going hand by hand. I have hit a plateau in my progress and I can't seem to improve further.

I can currently fight against a normal jounin without breaking a sweat. My advantage is my high chakra reserves and tons of jutsus of each element I have mastered. My disadvantages lie in my small body and no real battle experience.

I have completed my space element training with Minato and I am currently progressing slowly in Fuinjutsu. There is a large difference in the Expert level and the Master level. Being able to use Chakra as a material to create Fuinjutsu seals is a big advantage. I am just waiting for my growth spurt to induce new changes to my body and I think after my first growth spurt I will grow relatively fast with the increase in Chakra capacity and increment in body strength.

After doing a ton of D-rank missions, the Hokage decides to give us a C-Rank mission. Honestly, I am going insane with so many D-rank missions. I haven't stepped out of the village yet.

This mission came right on time. The mission seemed to be not too difficult. The son of the Daimyo of the Land of Tea came to vacation in Land of fire. Now for his return trip, he needs the help of some escorts for his safe travel. The mission is issued as a C-Rank mission in the Hokage office.

Hiruzen just issues this mission to our team. I am excited to venture out of Konoha. The journey to Land of Tea from Konoha would be seven days long, so Tendo-Sensei asked us to prepare our supplies in advance.

I return home and inform my parents about the mission.

"It's time for you to adventure out of Konoha. Beware of everything when you are out on a mission. Many times, any unsuspecting passerby can turn out to be an enemy. Since this is a C-Rank mission, take some poison antidotes with you. The bandits and thugs you will confront during the mission usually coat their weapons with lethal poison to fight against Ninjas. Also, prepare your ration and all other necessities with you."

Father lectured me for an entire two hours about what to do and what not to do during the mission. I jotted down everything in my brain as I am a complete noob when it comes to experience. Father just passed down his experience to me.

Mother prepared some dry food for me which will be useful during the mission. I placed everything in a storage scroll and I am ready for my first mission.

Next day in the morning,

All of us meet at that entrance of the village as the convoy of the Tea Daimyo's son departs. The son of Daimyo sits in a carriage prepared for him as we travel. The carriage was surrounded by twelve guards who protected the carriage. Another two carriages containing food and other necessities together with various other items followed closely. The daimyo's son's carriage was in middle.

The son of Daimyo remove the curtain of his carriage as he notices me and question,

"What's with this kid here? Is he lost or something? Do we need to call his mama? How can he even protect anyone, he is still at the age when he should just hide in his mother's embrace. I asked Konoha for competent Ninjas and they sent me a kid who requires a nanny."

A tick appears on my forehead as I am pissed by his behavior. Tendo assures him as he replies,

"There is no need for you to worry about anything. Izuna here is a certified Ninja of our village and he is a young genius who graduated early. This speaks for his competency and skills. So, rest assured he can handle this mission."

Daimyo's son scoffs at this as he covers the carriage with the curtain and continues to travel. The carriages were moving slowly, we simply walk as we follow the carriage.

I am enjoying the sceneries as this was my first time out of Konoha. My Sharingan is active all the time as I searched for any suspicious activity.

Nothing suspecting happened until we reached the border of The Land of Tea. On the fourth day, since our departure, we finally entered the Land of Tea.

The convoy is moving through a steep valley as we went on full alert. This valley is the perfect spot for an ambush if the enemy wants to stop us.

Our hypothesis was right as large wooden logs began to drop from atop the hill. I immediately kneaded some Chakra and made hand signs,

'Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique'

I spewed out a large ball of fire as it burnt down the logs. Only ashes remained of the logs as they fell. The enemies were surprised to see this but they immediately reacted by throwing down large stones. I turned to my teammates waiting for their response. But they seemed to be clueless as they have no way to respond to the situation. I sighed at this and turned to Tendo,

Tendo immediately made some hand signs as he spewed out some water from his mouth,

'Water Style: Pressure Jet'

The pressure water in the form of a jet collided with the rocks and smashed them into dust. The descent of the rocks stopped as only small rock pieces and debris fell toward the carriage. These rock pieces were deflected by Ryo and Takeru as they jumped to protect the carriage.

Me and Tendo start to ascend the hill as we faced against the Bandits. Ryo and Takeru stayed behind to protect the carriage together with guards. I checked around for any Ninja as I activated my Heat vision together with Chakra's vision. I couldn't spot any signs of involvement of any ninja. The confrontation between us and Bandits begin. The bandits pose no threat to us. I checked their blades for poison and father was correct their weapons were coated in a purple liquid which I assumed is poison.

They were too slow to fight me while I was using my Sharingan. I summoned a kunai in the right hand as I start to fight them. I slashed the neck of one of the bandits as blood start to spew out from his neck. I felt disgusted at this as this was too much blood even for a medical student like me.

My stomach starts to churn as the contents of my breakfast were about to spew out. I held them in for a while as I finished off other bandits. Tendo was done on his side too as he approached me.

I nod to him as I run towards a nearby bush and start to puke out my breakfast. This is my first kill in this world and I felt very conflicted about this. In my previous world, I was a doctor whose job was to save lives and now in this current life, my job is to kill anyone who stops me from completing my mission.

I once again faced the reality of the situation as I muttered to myself,

"So, I have taken my first step to be embroiled in the chaos of this world. I breathed deeply to calm down my nerves as I walked out of the bush."

"Are you ok?" Tendo questioned me.

I nodded to him, "I am fine now. Let's regroup with Ryo and Takeru."

We descended the hill only to see dead bodies of a few bandits lying around. Takeru noticed us as he shouted,

"Sensei! We have a situation here." He pointed to the nearby Ryo who clutched one of his hands tightly.

"The leader of the Bandits was mixed within the few bandits who attacked us. We were able to deal with all of them as Ryo faced against the Bandit leader. During the battle, the bandit leader managed to land a cut on Ryo's left land. It was only a flesh wound so Ryo ignored it and fought the leader and finally killed him."

"Let me take a look at it." Tendo looked at his wound and frowned.

"He is poisoned by the weapon of the Bandit leader and the poison seems to be more potent than the rest."

I fished out an antidote and handed it to Ryo.

"Here have it, it is an antidote for the poison. I prepared some in case of emergency."

Ryo took the antidote and waited for the poison to neutralize. After a while, the poison stopped spreading but it wasn't neutralized. The entire left arm of Ryo turned purple as it starts to leak puss and rot.

I activated the X-ray and microscopic vision of my Sharingan as I checked his hand. The cells of his left hand were dying at a rapid rate as the poison corroded them. The muscles and veins start to shrivel as they leaked puss and start to rot. The nerves were badly damaged as they were affected by the poison. Overall it is a hopeless situation.

After checking the hand for a while, Tendo came to the same conclusion.

"Ryo you have to amputate the arm from the shoulder if you don't want the poison to spread further. It is too late for treatment, the poison is too potent."

"No, sensei! How can this be? My carrier as a ninja will be over and my arm, my armNooo" Ryo cried.

Tendo helped Ryo in amputating his arm as he cauterized the wound to ward off any remains of poison and tied the stump with bandages. I inhaled a deep breath as I looked at them,

'Thankfully, I wished for a healing factor comparable to Hashirama.'
