First Mission

It's been two weeks since I became a genin and I'm bored. The final part of the chūnin exams is going on right now and I've been ordered to stay home to prevent the other nations from learning of my status.

I'll surely draw attention if I wear my headband out in the open. Once again, being too good is backfiring on me. Sigh...pain in the ass.

I haven't been slacking off of course. I used this free time to develop new skills, improve my [Calligraphy][Fūinjutsu] and the new weapon skill Pakura helped me create during training.

Pole Arm Mastery, Level - 4 (98.41%)
- Allows the user to use long pole weapons, skills and techniques effectively. This includes spear, naginata, halberd, glaive, tridents, scythe and 
bō. 
+20 Bonus Damage with long pole type weapons.
+12% attack speed when using weapon.

A couple of days after the fight with Baki, Pakura lectured me on Narukami's sloppy spear techniques. When I told her I didn't have much combat experience with a spear, she nagged me for being careless.

Pakura : "If you don't know how to handle a spear, how do you expect your puppet to use it effectively?"

Since then, I've been training with the kunoichi to improve my weapon handling skills. She gave me tips, sparring sessions and examples of proper muscle movement. Man, is there anything Pakura can't do?

Ah well, I wanted to practice with her today but she's training that girl, Maki, who's apparently super butt hurt she lost to me.

Also, I left Becky's place and moved into my own mother's old apartment. Everything inside went untouched during my absence. I cleaned it up nicely and threw out most of the old furniture, only keeping the important mementos in my inventory.

I tore down the wall separating the two bedrooms and made it one giant room. I'll make it into a study and sleep in the living room. Not like I'll have a lot of guests come around.

Thanks to the large space, I was able to free up a lot of boxes from my inventory. And since I'm a ninja now, I don't have to pay for rent.

Unfortunately, everything else has to come out of pocket. Can't win everything I guess.

A couple of days after the exams, Rasa calls me over to his office.

Rasa : "I'm sure you know why I called you?"

Kazuki : "To assign me to a team?"

Rasa : "Correct, as you know genin must work in groups of three along with a jōnin instructor. Since you've only just graduated, there weren't any teams for you to join. However, one just recently lost a member and I'm assigning you to them"

Kazuki : "What can you tell me about this team?"

He pulls out a manila folder and hands it to me. I open the file and scan through the paperwork while Rasa continues.

Rasa : "The assigned jōnin is name Fukio, he's an expert sealing specialist who's been working with genin for 6 years now"

Kazuki : "Does he know about Shukaku?"

Rasa : "He has been informed"

Kazuki : "Judging by your word choice, I take it he doesn't like the idea?"

Rasa : "You'll meet a lot of people who won't like you, get used to it"

Kazuki : "Sigh....you're a real pain in the ass Rasa, I would've preferred working with someone I liked, like Pakura"

Rasa : "She's too busy to train genin"

More like you don't want the two people who hate you, talking behind your back.

Kazuki : "So when am I meeting this team?"

Right when I said that, a knock comes from the office door and Rasa invites them in. A man with short spiky black hair, wearing Suna's ninja outfit enters first, followed by two boys.

Fukio, Sunagakure Jōnin
Level - 65
Rep - -31 [Monster]

One of them, a twelve year old with light brown hair and green eyes. His outfit consisted of a white jacket with a giant roll of cloth on his back, dark blue shorts and sandals. Judging by his figure, he doesn't do a lot of physical training.

Shadi, Sunagakure Genin
Level - 28
Rep - -42 [Rival]

The other one possesses a turban-like headgear, eyes covered by goggles and violet markings on his cheeks and forehead. He wears a beige scarf around his neck that reaches down to his waist, a skin tight black shirt with matching pants and brown sandals. His chakra feels familiar though...

Zaido Rayma, Sunagakure Genin
Level - 25
Rep - -77 [Rival]

They're all dicks, got it.

Zaido : "Ah! You're the one joining our team!?"

Shadi : "You know this kid Zaido?"

Zaido : "Yeah! He got the top scores at the Academy and graduated early! My little brother complained about you a lot, always showing off and never getting in trouble"

Little brother.....oh yeah. His little bro's name is Itsubu, he got 4th place during the final exam. I remember him being annoying a lot, proclaiming how important his family was to the village and blah blah blah.

Typical rich kid talk.

Shadi : "Now that you mention it, I heard you were a teacher's pet"

Kazuki : "Nope, I was just better than everyone there so the teachers liked me better. I'm not incompetent like this one's little brother"

Zaido : "Lord Kazekage! I refuse to accept him into our group! He's disrespectful and arrogant!"

Shadi : "I also disapprove of him joining our team!"

Rasa : "Too bad. You're missing a member and he's the only genin in reserve"

Zaido : "Even so-"

Rasa : "I don't care. You've already failed 2 missions, you're both hanging by a thread and if you don't work together I'll strip you of your ninja ranks. Do I make myself clear?"

Zaido/Shadi : "Y-yes! Lord Kazekage!"

Kazuki : "They failed 2 missions?"

Rasa : "Yes. They were D-ranks, but missions nonetheless. I expect your addition will prevent another failure"

Kazuki : "I just hope they don't slow me down"

I could feel them wanting to shout something, but didn't want to risk getting yelled at again by Rasa. I'm the only one who can talk back to him, I've got verbal invincibility.

Rasa : "Now, I have another D-rank mission for this team, you'll be going to towers 7, 14 and 19, collect the daily reports from the watchmen and bring them back to me"

Hmm, that should be a two hour trip to each tower if we start from here. We'll have to split up and each go to one tower.

Rasa : "You're dismissed"

Ping!

[Mission Alert!]
D-rank : Daily Reports

Objectives
Gather Reports from Assigned Towers [0/3]

Bonus

Bonus Rewards
+300 EXP

Well look at that, even the system wants me to put these two down.

Once outside the Kazekage's office, Fukio begins going over the mission details.

Fukio : "Alright, we'll be splitting up for this mission. Zadio and Shadi will go to Tower 19, I will go to Tower 14 and Kazuki 7"

Kazuki : "Wait, why are the two of them going together?"

Fukio : "While Shadi does know the [Cloth Binding Jutsu], the creatures outside might be too big to capture so he needs someone with offensive jutsu to fend them off"

Shadi : "*smirk* You should head back to the Academy if you don't understand something so simple"

Kazuki : "No, this only proves your incompetency because you didn't bother to learn anything else to defend yourself. If an enemy ninja takes away your binding cloth, what will you do then?"

Shadi : "I'll pull out my kunai out and fight them off!"

Kazuki : "What if they don't want to fight fair and throw jutsu your way? You'll be hit with a relentless assault of long range jutsu and the only thing you have is a small blade to counter them"

Shadi : "Ah! Stop adding random situations to the question! It's not fair"

Kazuki : "Life's not fair, in a battle you never know what will happen, so you should prepare yourself with a back up plan and a back up plan for your back up plan just incase your back up plan fails"

Shadi : "What makes you the expert? *gets up in face* Huh?!"

Kazuki : "I plan on becoming Suna's first God of Shinobi, I've learned everything this village has to offer and have been working it into my own combat style"

Fukio : "He's right. Kazuki is a puppet and fan user, sealing specialist, medic and has an array of jutsu in his disposal. The teachers at the Academy have even referred to him as a jack of all trades"

Shadi : "Tch. Whatever"

He stomps away like a typical bully and Fukio hands us each a small emblem.

Fukio : "When you reach the Towers, show the watchmen this emblem, it'll tell them that you're working for the Kazekage's office"

Team 4 : "Yes sensei!"

With that, we head off on our own. Since I got 7, I'll have to head northeast but I won't take as long as the others.

Collecting the nearby sand, I conjure up a dense cloud that's strong enough to carry me. I hop on and float on over to the tower. I present the emblem to tower guard, grab the report and head back to the village.

All and all, it took about thirty minutes. When I came back to the office, Fukio was already there. Damn, this guy is faster than I expected.

Fukio : "You're done already?"

Kazuki : "Yeah, I used the sand to carry myself to the tower. It's much faster than walking"

Rasa : "I see, now we just wait for the others"

Kazuki : "Actually, I wanted to talk to you about two more projects I've been working on"

I look at the Kazekage, then at Fukio, don't want him to know I wrote a couple of best selling books and possibly leak out my information.

Rasa : "He knows about our arrangement, it's fine"

Oh, okay then.

Rasa : "So what are these two about?"

Kazuki : "Well, I decided to cover the sci-fi genre instead of what I normally write. The first one is called Iron Blooded Orphans and the second is Code Geass"

Rasa : "*closes eyes to think* No, now is the right time. Since you managed to complete the mission earlier then expected, you'll be heading over to Aero and meeting with the publisher"

Kazuki : "Wouldn't it look bad if they discover that I'm a jinchūriki?"

Rasa : "Then don't let her find out. Not only would Suna lose money, but so will you"

Hmm, maybe now I can finally make a steady income. Pakura did say not a lot of missions would come my way so I should earn money where I can.

Kazuki : "When do I leave?"

Rasa : "Tomorrow, I'll be sending her a message about your arrival and to prepare"

Ping!

[Mission Alert!]
C-rank : On Your Way

Objective
Meet with the Publisher in Aero

Rewards
+1000 EXP
+Steady Income

Kazuki : "Ah, but what about the team? Won't they have missions tomorrow?"

Rasa : "Because of our Daimyo, we don't have enough missions to give every genin so you won't be working everyday"

He pulls out a scroll and writes something down. He then hands it over to Fukio and tells him to bring it to messenger corps. Guess I better prepare for the trip.

Back to our current mission, Shadi and Zaido took at least 3 hours to finish their part. They couldn't believe I came in before them and thought up of numerous way to say I cheated.

Rasa shut them down and told them to work harder next time. We left the office and each of us headed home.

Ping!

[Mission Complete!]
D-rank : Daily Reports

Rewards
+300 EXP (-300)
+500 Ryo

At least, that's what I thought....

Kazuki : "You two can come out now"

Hiding in a nearby alley, Zaido and Shadi come out to confront me. Reading their chakra, it feels like they're pissed at me for showing them up.

Zaido : "How did you do it? There's no way you could get to the tower in so little time"

Kazuki : "What does it matter, the mission was complete so just leave it at that"

Shadi : "You're really starting to piss me off, a cocky brat like you should be listening to his superiors"

Kazuki : "The way I see it, Fukio is my only superior, the two of you are nothing but pounds of sand weighing me down"

Zaido : "That's it!"

The genin draws his kunai and rushes me. I don't have the time to deal with this. I have my sand coil around his leg and bend it backwards.

There was a sickening crush before Zaido fell to the floor howling in pain. A look of horror appears on Shadi's face as I glare at him.

Kazuki : "I don't care who you are, I'll kill anyone who gets in my way. Now pick up that piece of trash and get out of my sight!"

[Blood Lust Activated!]

The boy stammers and stutters from my intense aura, grabs his comrade and leaves the area. Sigh...now I need to tell Rasa about this, those two will try to spin this on me if I don't say anything first.

I go back to the office and explain the situation. He looked annoyed at this intimidation attempt and told me not to worry about it, but warned me about the Rayma's family because they have a couple of mercenaries on stand by to deal with punks like me.

Kazuki : "What do you want me to do about them if they come after me? I mean, I'm gonna kill them but should I leave one alive for questioning?"

Rasa : "No, they are mercenaries not ninjas so I don't care"

After that, I went home to chill. Or so I thought....

Ping!

[Mission Alert!]
C-rank : Mercenaries

Objective
Defeat all Mercenaries [0/15]

Rewards
+1000 EXP
+10 Skill Scroll

I could feel their chakra signatures coming my way. They're definitely at genin level strength, but I've defeated a chūnin already, they don't stand a chance.

Kazuki : 'Looks like we're having blood tonight, Shukaku'

Shukaku : 'Kukuku, finally!'

I jump out the open window in the living room and release the stored up sand in my inventory. I form another ridable cloud of sand and search the village for every hostile chakra signature.

They're a bunch of nobodies, the only one to look out for is the level 24 and he ain't even tough. That one is probably the leader. I'll kill the henchmen first.

I lead the first group to the closed off training grounds and find a woman wearing black garbs and a mask, right behind me.

Jano, Rayma Blades
Level - 21
Rep - -62 [Target]
HP - 9,894

Jano : "Found the target! I'm taking him down!"

She pulls out a sword and swipes at me, but I have the sand form a barrier and catch the blade.

Jano : "What?"

The sand below her feet starts to climb up her leg until fully engulfing her in a cloak of minerals. I point my open palm at her and her eyes went wide.

Jano : "Ah! No wait I-"

Kazuki : "[Sand Burial]!"

[Critical Hit!]
-12,000

The sand delivers a lethal amount of pressure that crushes every bone and organ in the woman's body, leaving nothing but a layer of black colored sand.

+231 EXP (-231)

Shukaku : 'Ah, the sweet taste of blood...I want more'

Kazuki : 'Don't worry, we still have more victims'

Years of resentment built up over the years is finally coming up. She's the first human I killed and I don't even care, this is a nice feeling.

Throughout the night, I hunted people down like animals in the wild. Hearing them beg for their lives was quite exciting, they know what they signed up for.

I also learned how much sand a stomach can hold before bursting open. When I confronted the last guy, my face was painted with the blood of his companions. He looked furious at what I've done, but by reading his chakra, I could tell he was scared to death of me.

Illmia, Rayma Blades Leader
Level - 24
Rep - -100 [Demon]
HP -  11,730

Kazuki : "You're shaking. What's wrong, afraid to die?"

Illmia : "You demon! You killed them without remorse!"

Kazuki : "*grins* There's a reason why I graduated the academy early. The moment you chose to come at me, you all signed your death warrant"

Illmia : "D-draw your blade, we'll finish this with our weapons"

Kazuki : ".......*chuckles* Fool, I'm a ninja"

Giant hands composed of [Iron Sand] come up and grab the man in a vice grip, leaving only his head exposed. He struggles to get free, but I increase the pressure with each passing breath.

Illmia : "Will you...*grunt* not give me a warrior's death?"

Kazuki : "No, you'll die like the dog you are"

*CRUNCH*

The hands completely tighten and the mercenary's head pops off his body, sending it flying through the air along with a fountain of blood.

+264 EXP (-264)

Ping!

[Mission Complete!]
C-rank : Mercenaries

Rewards
+500 EXP (-500)
+10 Skill Scroll

I collect the head and store it in my inventory. I'll need it for later.

Hmm? I turn around and look up at the sky, spotting a familiar floating spherical object.

Eye of Sand

There are only two people who can use the [Third Eye]. Guess this means Rasa knows about my [Iron Sand] now. Heh, that bastard expected this confrontation.

Rasa POV

In all honesty, I merely wanted to see if Kazuki could take the life of another. Not only did I get my answer but I witnessed something unbelievable.

Kazuki possesses the ability to wield the Third's [Iron Sand]. Where did he learn to use it, was it perhaps the One Tail?

No, that beast would never offer assistance to its host. Either way, this is a good sign. Sunagakure's finally acquired the weapon it needs.

He must be trained properly, the future of this village lies in the hands of that child.

Kazuki POV

Shukaku : 'Kukuku, it's been so long since I've had blood!'

Kazuki : 'That should satisfy you for a while, when we make more enemies there will be a lot more'

Shukaku : 'By the way, when did you learn to use [Iron Sand]? It took the Kazekage years to wield it, yet you did it like it was nothing'

Kazuki : 'Using the chakra you gave me during [Rasengan] training, it was quite simple to figure out with a bit of testing and research. I also swiped a book in the Kazekage's office about the Third's Magnet Release'

I honestly didn't expect him to buy that but it looks like I'm in the clear. He's seen me do crazier stuff without explanation, guess he trusts me enough to accept it.

I head home again and open my inventory to examine the reward scroll.

+10 Skill Scroll, Consumable
- Used to improve a skill level by 10 points instantly. One time use.

Oh! That'll be real useful. When I max out [Calligraphy], I'll use it on [Fūinjutsu].

Come the next day, I went back to the Kazekage's office ready for my journey to Aero.

Rasa : "Since you'll be heading out to Aero, I want you to deliver this to the Captain of the Daimyo's guards. Anything after that is your business and I expect you back in no less then three days"

If I ride the sand all the way to Aero, it'll only be a two hour trip and he knows that. Guess he's giving me time to negotiate with the publisher.

I grab the parcel and turn to leave, but Rasa stops me.

Rasa : "And when you get back, we'll be having a long discussion about what happened the other day"

Meh, I won't tell him anything important. I'll just say Shukaku helped me.

2 Hours Later

A couple miles from the front entrance, I spot a 15 story tall wall made up of limestone in the distance. That takes some craftsmanship, I wonder how long it took to make it.

Coming up to the wooden front entrance, two guards wearing steel armor order me to stop.

Guard 1 : "Who goes...*notices headband* A ninja? At your age?"

Kazuki : "Yes, I'm here by order of the Kazekage to deliver a parcel to the Daimyo's guard"

I present the Kazekage's emblem and my ninja id, the guards look them over a bit, nods and opens up the gate to the capital city. Right after I passed by them, I could overhear their conversation.

Guard 1 : "Can you believe it? A ninja at his age"

Guard 2 : "Guess anyone can become a ninja in that village, heh, Lord Saizo was right to reduce their funding"

Dicks.

The moment I took notice of the scenery around me, the entire road was full of people walking past concession stands, gifts shops and festival games. This place is nothing like Sunagakure, people are actually having fun here!

No! Stay focused, important work first then goofing off. So I deliver the package without trouble and go out to look for the publisher.

Asking the people around, I was told the publisher's building was just a couple streets away. They said it should be pretty obvious.....oh, so that's what they meant.

Sunstone Publishing

The sign was in bright neon colors, clearly trying to outshine the nearby shops and their hand drawn signs. Guess they like putting others down.

I walk inside and check in with the receptionist who tells me wait while the boss finishes up a meeting. Said receptionist gets called in the back and I hear...

??? : "REALLY? HE'S REALLY HERE?!"

The door to the room bursts open and an over excited woman with big breasts comes running out, scanning the lobby until her eyes land on me.

I don't like that look in her eyes. Who is this lady?

Aine, Sunstone Publisher Owner
Level - 14
Rep - 65 [Anomaly]

That's.....a weird way to see me.

Aine : "So, you're the one Lord Kazekage told me about, the true writer of those works of art"

She licks her lips erotically and her gaze becomes more intense, it made me feel aroused and scared at the same time. She's a dangerous one...

Kazuki : "Yeah, my name is Kazuki Inei"

Aine : "Well, good to meet you Kazuki, it's nice to finally put a face to the name I've been so curious about. My name is Aine, and I'm the owner of this building"

She comes closer to me and looks straight into my eyes. I know that look, she's trying to see the kind of person I am.

Aine : "You're very unique, never seen a kid your age put out books with such high levels of imagination"

Kazuki : "Ah...thank you. *clears throat* I'm sure you got the message from Rasa explaining why I'm here"

Aine : "Yes, I've been notified, he tells me you have two more stories ready for printing"

I take out the drafts from my inventory and hand them to her. She glosses over the titles then looks at me.

Kazuki : "Instead of what I usually write, I decided to go the sci-fi route as a nice change of pace"

Aine : "Heh, I'd like to give these a nice long read, so how about you go out and have some fun, my treat"

Reaching into the pouch attached to her hip, she pulls out a stack of bills and tosses them my way.

+5,000 Ryo

Kazuki : "Ah! Don't you think this is a bit much?"

Aine : "Oh please, compared to the money you raked in with your previous books, that's chump change. Now go out and have fun, you're a kid, that's what you do"

She's.....right about that. I leave the building and head back to the festival happening outside. Reading everyone's info, they all had 0 rep with me and see me as a stranger.

Food Seller 1 : "Hey kid, you new around here?"

Kazuki : "Yes sir, just arrived a couple minutes ago"

Food Seller 1 : "Well how's about trying my takoyaki? Half off for a newcomer"

Kazuki : "Sure!"

All day, I was called over by food sellers asking me to try out their food and it was all for cheap too!

Food Seller 2 : "Try the yakitori"

Food Seller 3 : "Why not try the okonomiyaki, it's well know around the capital city!"

Food Seller 4 : "The yakisoba is to die for, give it a taste!"

It's so weird being treated like a normal human being after all these years. Sure there are few who don't see me as a monster, but it doesn't counter the hate from the others. Even Rasa, his rep is at 17 but he still sees me as monster.

That guy's never gonna see me as an equal. I might just bang his daughter when she's older to get back at him.

I used up 3270 Ryo with 36 hours before Aine called me back to her office. She had bags under eyes, probably from staying up all night reading my stories.

In a meeting room, she pulls out a contract that states her company would handle all the advertising and distribution. I would get 65% of the profits but I'd have to use this company exclusively for any stories I wish to have published, along with losing the naming rights.

She wanted to stick me with a deadline, in which I would have to turn in a story every six months, but I added in that if I turn in anything acceptable then I'd have to be paid out 200,000 Ryo immediately.

Aine : "What's the payout for?"

Kazuki : "Just a little insurance incase the book doesn't sell well. I want make some money out of everything I write"

Aine : "It feels like you're trying to screw me here"

Kazuki : "And you're not with that deadline? Besides, the number of ideas I have can fill up a library"

Aine : "*eyes shine* Really now?"

And that's how I earned 400,000 Ryo in a single day.

I open up the [Black Lion Shop] and see if anything is worth buying right now.

Shop Items [New Items in 11:14:54]

Fire Release : Burning Ash - 65,000 Ryo
Wood Release - 75,000 Ryo

Hmm, speaking of the [Seven Heavenly Breaths], I wonder if Shira's been sent to Sunagakure yet. Maybe if I train him myself, I could turn him into my protégé and have a loyal shinobi who listens to everything I say.

[You have purchased Seven Heavenly Breaths!]

Seven Heavenly Breaths
- A taijutsu breathing method that grants the user immense power by gathering up large amounts of oxygen to increase lung capacity. Requires 150 STR and VIT to activate.

I wish the shop gave me some information before I buy something. And while I have the money, might as well buy [Wood Release].

[You have purchased Wood Release!]

Control - 100% Fire - 100% Wind - 100% Earth - 100% Lightning - 100% Water - 72% Magnet - 100% Scorch - 100% Force - 100% Wood - 0%

I'll save the rest for later. Even if I do buy another kekkei genkai, I won't have the privacy to practice it and Rasa will just ask me annoying questions.

I left Aine's office with the promise that I'll send the second part of Iron Blooded Orphans in a few months.

And since Rasa said he'd expect me in three days, I decided to sit back and relax in the capital for one more day. Not like I'll get a lot of vacation time, need to kick back every once an a while.

??? : "Have you memorized the position of the guards?"

Hmm? Are those voices coming from the inn across the street? Thank god I leveled my [Eavesdropping] skill to the max, I could hear them talking clearly from over 40ft/12m away.

??? : "Yes, there's a small window for us to break in through the south entrance once every 15 minutes. Once we're in we must kill the guards in front of the Daimyo's chamber and take their place with a [Transformation Jutsu]"

??? : "Alright then, all of us will rest up and kill the Daimyo tomorrow, those damn sand ninja won't see us coming"

Oh, so it's an assassination attempt, but where are these people from? I need to find out more before intervening.

Opening up my window a crack, I slip some chakra infused sand through it and have it form the [Third Eye]I learned this skill after the exams ended.

The eye hovers over to the assassins window and takes a peek inside the room. Just three guys sitting on their beds, looking down at a map.

Anyone else would say they're ordinary civilians, but with my gaming powers I can easily tell who they are.

Gobuzo, Kirigakure Chūnin
Level - 47
Rep - -84 [Kill on Sight]
HP - 21,726

Lin, Kirigakure Chūnin
Level - 51
Rep - -87 [Kill on Sight]
HP - 23,667

Bagai, Kirigakure Jōnin
Level - 66
Rep - -93 [Kill on Sight]
HP - 37,370

Oh damn. I didn't expect Kiri to send out ninja to assassinate the Daimyo, then again, it is easier to get here than Suna. Now there's only one problem...

This is none of my business. I don't care if the Daimyo dies-

Ping!

[Mission Alert!]
B-rank : Stop the Assassins

Objective
Prevent the Assassination Attempt

Bonus
No Casualties
Bring Assassin(s) to Sunagakure

Rewards
+5000 EXP
+Random Water Release Scroll

Bonus Reward
+5 Skill Scroll
Sealing Art : Custom Summoning Formula

Son of a bitch!

What can I even do? They've got a jōnin with them! My seals won't have any effect on him and I can't alert the guards because they'll kill each other and I'll lose the bonus.

.....

Maybe B-rank seals won't work, but A-rank would do just nicely.

Opening up my inventory, I pull out the +10 Skill Scroll and use it on [Fūinjutsu]. I didn't want to do this until I reached level 30 but I can speed this up with that bonus reward.

Fūinjutsu, Level - 36 (0%)
- The art of creating seals with ink and paper that can serve a variety of purposes from restricting movements, nullify elements, storage, suppressing chakra etc.
Max Difficulty : A-rank seals
+108% Bonus Efficiency

That should be good enough. Pulling out my writing tool and tags, I create a body restriction seal good enough to hold down a jōnin for a couple of hours.

Next, I need to use some very special seals....

3rd POV

The ninjas from Kiri decide to call it a night and fall asleep. Within a few hours, the temperature is slowly rising, matching the heat of the desert during the day.

The one called Lin, was the first to awaken and found the intense heat unbearable. He finds his throat parched, mouth dry, sweat rolling down his forehead and feeling a bit lightheaded.

He attempts to stand up, but his leg muscles feel weak and he falls to the floor.

Kazuki : "Looks like you could use some help"

Turning his attention to the voice, Lin spots the jinchūriki sitting on the window sill smiling. The ninja's first instinct was to get up and attack this child, but he finds his body too weak to move.

Lin : "Who......who the hell are you?"

Kazuki : "Before that"

Pulling out 3 sealing tags from his inventory, Kazuki slaps them on Lin and his sleeping Kiri partners. The ninja soon felt his consciousness fading upon contact with the seal.

Kazuki : "That's a movement restriction seal, you won't be able to move for a couple hours. Don't worry though, I can get to Sunagakure in around 2"

Kazuki POV

Sigh, now I gotta cut my vacation time short because of these assholes. Though I am glad I only had to resort to the first seal.

Heat Suffocation Seal, B-rank
- A scorch release infused seal that emits an intense amount of heat overtime. Used in enclosed spaces to give target(s) heat exhaustion.

No matter how strong you are, you're still human and we all share the same weaknesses. Heat stroke is no joke and can kill even the most prepared, all I did was tire them out until near death.

Might as well go home, not like I can do anything more here. I coil my sand around the ninja and carry them all the way to Sunagakure. Sucks, I'm gonna miss having fun.

Rasa was a little pissed to be woken up at 2am in the morning, but changed his attitude when I told him I caught three ninja looking to assassinate the Daimyo.

Rasa : "How did you catch them?"

Kazuki : "With seals, now take them off my hands because I'm tired and haven't had my rest yet"

Rasa : "I'll alert the T&I department, but I expect a full report on my desk"

Kazuki : "Yeah yeah..."

I had to deliver the three to the T&I department and place them in steel coffin mechanisms that close once something's inside, leaving only the head of the victim exposed. Lines of kanji overtake the metal casket upon being closed.

One of the agents come up and inspect the seals placed on their foreheads.

T&I Agent : "These seals on their heads, where did it come from?"

Kazuki : "Wrote it myself"

T&I Agent : "Impressive stroke mark precision, you'll be an excellent sealing specialist down the line"
