Chapter 8: The Quest

A few weeks had passed, and Hiroshi's training had been going exceptionally well.

Every day was a rigorous combination of chakra control exercises, hand-to-hand combat, and mastering his Sharingan.

Which lead to his progress to increase the percentage of his template from 1% to 7%.

This growth had granted him new jutsus and more combat memories of Madara, further enhancing his abilities.

Currently, Hiroshi was walking through one of the streets of Karakura Town. 

The day was warm, and the town buzzed with the usual activity of people going about their business. 

As he strolled, he noticed a flower pot that had been knocked over.

Bending down, he carefully fixed the flowers, straightening the pot.

 When he stood up, he saw the spirit of a teenage girl hovering above the flowers. "You can see me?" the spirit asked, surprised.

Hiroshi nodded and smiled. "Yes, I can. These flowers are beautiful, aren't they?"The spirit nodded, her expression softening. 

Hiroshi gave a small bow before continuing on his way, feeling a sense of peace from the brief encounter.

As he walked away, a holographic screen popped up in front of him, displaying a system notification.

Quest: Defeat the Hollow Fishbone D. 

Reward: 3% increase in the template.

Hiroshi stared at the screen, his mind racing. "It seems the plot has started," he mumbled to himself.

Then he disappeared from his place using body flicker. 

Although his body flicker wasn't perfect, and couldn't rival the likes of Yoruichi's shunpo or Soi Fon's but it still did the job. And he was confident once he increases his template progress he could rival their speed easily.
