10 Land of Hot water

After making escaping from the Anbu Kiyoshi went on to a secret loction that only his parents know. There was seal that he can only see with his sharingan on a tree. This was basically a treasury of his mother's bandit group. As bandits they live by killing wandering shinobi's or low ranking members of some shinobi village. Sometime they also take missions by some small villages that can't hire the services of larger villages or didn't want them to know. So their bandit group has a large amount of techniques and scrolls, although they are not secret techniques or hidden jutsu for Kiyoshi who didn't belong to any villages these were indeed precious. They were many D and C rank jutsu with one or two B rank. Although he awakened the Mangekyo sharingan his foundation and basic skills are weak and he has zero to no experiences in ninja battles, although he has watches his parents fight many times but fighting himself is still different.

At that time he noticed a scroll that caught his attention. It was jutsu of Chinoike clan his mother had on her.

"The art of Blood dragon ", "Blood clone "  were the two jutsu of the Chinoike clan his mother had. They were both A rank and 'The art of blood dragon' need great control of chakra.

They were also some Uchiha clan skills like some genjutsu techniques,insigts of his father using and adapting to the sharingan, the essence of fire release, shurikenjutsu and some advanced chakra excersies and chakra flow techniques. These were very valuable to Kiyoshi as he as no one to teach him these.

He also took some scroll he secretly stole from Anbu. They were some kenjutsu skills and leaf Taijutsu.

"I need to strengthen my basics first before moving to more complicated jutsu. I also need the iron rich water which naturally flows in the Valley of Hell. I can carry it with me like Gaara and use to defend and attack. From what I remember vaguely the Valley of Hell is located in place called hot water" Kiyoshi opened a map of Ninja world and looked through it.

"Oh yes Land of Hot Water. It shares a border with Land of fire, frost and sound. I am currently in outskirts of Land of fire so it is easy for me to travel there. I can practice while travelling and join some mercanary group or something to gain some money. After alteast having jonin level combat power I will go to Amegakure to join Akatsuki. I think by the time I will join Itachi will also join"

After thinking through all these Kiyoshi laid some traps around the area and went to sleep since it was too much for him handle so many things in a day.

In the morning the Kiyoshi woke up due to the sound of birds and the water from the river. He unconsciously wanted to call his mother but remember what happened yesterday. Not to be depressed so early in the morning he cheered himself and did some chakra control exercises. He did some strength excersies and taijutsu to strengthen his body. He also tried changing his chakra nature to lightning or water. For now he can only use water jutsu using already existing water resources. It is said that the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju can create water by himself to drown a entire battlefield. Water and lighting also have great synergy.

One month passed peacefully as Kiyoshi strengthened his foundations as shinobi.
