"No, Yami is telling the truth," Ko spoke up, "didn't you two feel it? The glares? The odd looks?"
China mumbled, "I just thought it was because we were foreigners."
Ko shook his head, "no...something is wrong...the Hokage needs to know of this."
I nodded, "agreed."
That night while the rest of them slept I stayed away on the couch looking at my status.
STR- 32 VIT- 48 DEX- 48 INT- 35 (+2) CHA- 57 CC- 131 LUC- 26 (+5) Points- 15 Okay, let's see here. 15 points to spend, okay, first things first, let's get a bonus from VIT and DEX.
VIT- 50 DEX- 50 Points- 11 Ping!
You have 50 stat points in VIT! You have gained a perk!
Split second's rush- Grant +20% stamina as emergency reserves if SP drops to 0 Ping!
You have 50 stat points in DEX! You have gained a perk!
Slower- Allows your perception of time to come to a halt during the heat of battle for 30 seconds. Can only be used three times a day.
The Split second's rush perk was similar to my chakra boost perk. And the slower perk showed prove useful in a fight when I'm being overwhelmed, even a split second could mean the difference between life and death.
I then assigned the rest of the points. Eight into STR and the rest into CHA;
STR- 40 VIT- 50 DEX- 50 INT- 35 (+2) CHA- 60 CC- 131 LUC- 26 (+5) WIth that done I opened up the skill scroll I gained today and selected a skill to level up;
Stealth, Lv- 32 (0%) Your ability to hide in plain sight is crucial for being a ninja.
Chances of not getting spotted- 61% For stronger opponents, -2% for each level they surpass you I so needed to improve my stealth skill. With that done I went to bed, I couldn't risk running out late at, even if I had a decent stealth skill. It could mean freaking war!
After than I opened up the TM I got and took it out. It was in the form of a disk with the letters 'TM' on it's surface. It would teach a pokemon a move...but I was curious, could it teach me as well? I pressed the disk against my forehead and waited...but nothing happened. Damn, guess only pokemon can learn this. Oh well.
So I went to bed and the we all woke up early the next day. I quickly hide a fanged dagger inside the floorboard of the hotel room, similar what what I did for the inn in the Land of Tea. Now I had a direct route inside an enemy ninja village. Hopefully if people to discover it, they wouldn't know what it is and would just throw it out. Hopefully.
We left with Rivora there bright and early. She guided us out of the village with a wave, I guess she was soft on us after spending some time chatting and eating.
We didn't do much on the way back, it was just a simple mission. I honestly wish though that the next mission isn't as calm as this one. I need excitement man!
A few days later: We did eventually reach Konoha in one piece. The moment we entered the gates we went straight to the Hokage tower and Ko gave our report to the old man.
The mission now officially over Ko ordered us home to rest before coming back the next day for training.
It was early in the morning when I found myself back at training ground 11 meditating with a leaf pressed between my palms.
Ever since returning home yesterday I have been training to create my own scorch style jutsus. It's been a pain, but I managed to dissect the main principles of both fire style and wind style.
I found that the tiger hand seal was for fire style jutsu and the bird hand seal was for wing style. This mean scorch style, a mixture of these two, had to use both in some form. So I began to experiment, using the hand seals for Great fireball, but instead of using the tiger seal at the end, I used the bird.
And not surprisingly, nothing happened. It was a dud.
So I moved on, instead of using jutsu I decided to use nature control, mainly training myself to use scorch style chakra alone.
I looked down at the leaf between my hands, while before I could only burn the leaf with my scorch release, now I could actually create a small ball of fire so potent, it began to dry up the leave around me just by existing.
I focused and held my hand tightly together. Slowly the leaf started to burn with a yellowish flame. I opened my palm and held out the burning fire ball as it slowly began to heat up. I could feel the heat, but it couldn't touch me as slowly the moisture around me began to burn into nothing. I smiled, this was the perfect first step to mastering the scorch style. Suddenly I felt two familiar chakra signatures approaching, China and Zumo. I put of the leave and got up, I waited and in moment they landed before me.
"Hey Yami," Zumo waved.
"Hey you two," I waved back, "what's new?"
"Nothing much," China shrugged, "when I got him yesterday my mother and father were so worried. They thought I was going to get hurt again. I'm glad nothing went wrong during this mission."
Zumo nodded, "don't I know it."
I felt Ko's chakra approach us, "sensei is here," and moment later he arrived, "morning sensei."
Ko blinked, "Yami? How did you know I was coming?" Hm...oh well, might as well reveal a few of my tricks, "I sensed you reach. I think I'm a chakra sensor."
"A what?!" Zumo's eyes winded.
"I'm sorry, but what does that mean?" China asked.
