56 Early and Beast

After that seeing that it still was daytime in the real world I decided to go make a surprise to Mikoto as I told her I would only come back at least one year later. I was sure that she was with Kushina and Minato as we would always be with them when we were not doing private stuff or visiting Kakashi and Sakumo or my family.

I went toward the training grounds and as expected they were all there. It was more crowded than before as the war ended. I went to them unnoticed as I wanted to make a surprise. I went all out and blended with the shadows and activated Time slow.

I made my way toward them and saw that they were seating in a circle and talking. There was just enough place between her and Minato for me to go. Once I was as near as I could with the shadows I activated body flicker technique to go as fast as possible between the two. I did not activate my lightning coat as it makes too much sound.

I arrived so fast, and along with my Time slow and unexpected timing, that none of them reacted. I deactivated Time slow once in position. Cool entrance : check

Minato reacted first and widened his eyes. Then the other two reacted and Mikoto screamed as I had my face just in front of hers. This caused a commotion and people looked. I did not bother with them and looked at her in the eyes.

Then I retreated a little to look at the three. I said" What's up ?" Like I was not saying this on purpose to act cool…

Mikoto teleported to me and we began a long kiss. We stopped when the two other troubleakers began to laugh. But we were not embarrassed as it already happenned far too much. Minato lloked at me weirdly and asked"Why do you always make those strange entrances ?"

I feigned not hearing and said to Mikoto" Surprised ?" She nodded fervently and asked why I was back so soon. I answered by" Well there was an unexpected change of event that made me able to come back cherish my wife ahead of time." Then began another long kiss.

We began to talk with other and do like we always do, some sparring and training. But Minato refused sparring against me or in front of me because he wanted to master his new technique before fighting me. It did not really changed anything for me so of course I accepted.

Soon night came and we departed. As we were heading toward our new house from after the marriage together, we met with Obito and Rin. When we learned that they were going to be eating alone, we asked them if they wanted to come home with us. They readily agreed and came with us.

The next day, after I sent back the two kids home, I went toward the Hokage's office to report that I was available for missions. He was not surprised to see me as I knew that yestereday some anbu had seen me. Well it's not like I was hiding.

I began to speak" Hiruzen, I would like to go on missions. I don't want to stay here and do nothing. It would be bad if I become rusted like a certain someone behind his chair…"

The Hokage understood the underlying meaning and angrily said" You brat, who is sitting behind a chair ? It only is since a few months !" After that he looked at me in the eyes and I did the same. We began exhuding pressure and when it was at max the anbu hidding around began to feel uncounfortable.

Then the two of us began to laugh hard. After calming down I said" More seriously, give me a mission old man." He responded whle handing me a fold" Here this is a B rank mission little boy." After reading it I departed toward my house as the mission was only later in the afternoon. A normal ninja would need to go now, but I am not a normal ninja.

After enjoying my morning with Mikoto I departed toward my mission area. My mission was to go hunt a dangerous beast as strong as a low B rank that was terrorizing villages. Once at the first village I began to gather informations.

When I entered the village I saw that nobody was outside despite the good weather. Knowing that it would be fruitless I did not began to knoxk on every door to ask about the beast. I directly went toward what seemed to be the village head's house and knocked.

A muscular man in his thirties opened and looked at me. He was glad to see my headband, but began to look at my face strangely. Then he suddenly threw himself on one knee and said" It is an honor to meet Lord Red Sword !"

I was surprised to see that people in far from all villages like that knew my face, but ignored it and asked for the man to stand up. He began to speak about the fearsomness of the beast, and from his tale it seemed to be a tailed beast instead of a B rank beast. I smiled at this and began my hunt.

I did not have to search for a long time as the beast was not able to hide its presence like aninja, so for a beast this powerful it was easy to locate, even for a ninja who isn't a sensor type. The beast was in fact a beast around two and a half tall, but very large, around two tons.

It first looked at me in defiance, but once I released some of my presence it began to fear me and tried to flee. I activated Time slow as I did not want to make it able to go far. I ran after it and it was really slow in my vision. As it was a bear its best attribute was its fleshly power and defence. So once next to it I coated my sword with wind and cut its head off.
