Heading to the training grounds, I found Hiroshi and Hayate standing in the opening, walking towards them. I greeted with a nod.

Hiroshi:" Yo kid, sorry I wasn't here. I was taking a mission with my team. Also, Yuriko is on duty today with patrol."

Hayate: * Cough, Cough* "We should get started."

Picking up the bokken, I was ready to start when Hayate stopped me.

Hayate:"We're going to spar on the river instead * cough * "

Nodding at him, we all started to walk towards the river, arriving at the river, and only me and Hayate were on the water. And Hiroshi was sitting on a rock nearby to watch.

Getting into the stance of [ Dance of the Crescent Moon], me and Hayate started to spar. Using [Shadow clone Jutsu][ Level 10]. Activating 5 shadow clones to attack Hayate, who was astonished about my [Shadow clone jutsu] increase in numbers in one day. Hayate was countering, and he still pointed out mistakes I had. But I was improving at a fast rate. with my system and his teaching.

A few hours went by, and we both finished with training today, now back with Hiroshi, who was supposed to teach me ninjutsu and genjutsu but couldn't as it was heavily regulated and could only be taught from student and teacher or must be a legal guardian to teach them. For student and teacher, it must be an official signed by the Hokage. Especially with Hiroshi teaching a genin squad.

So, with nothing to do, there was only one thing to do, get lunch at Ichiraku ramen. Though it took Hiroshi a hole to understand that I want to eat there. Passing through the flaps, I and Hiroshi sat down. As the owner, Teuchi, finished serving a customer, he asked for our order.

Teuchi:" Welcome, what would you like to have?"

Hiroshi:" Servings for two. I'll take a large bowl. What about you, Kid?"

"Extra spicy," I said with soft a voice, but it seemed that Teuchi understood. Leaving to cook our ramen , it seemed his daughter, Ayame, came from the back to take orders. But the moment she saw me. She looked at me like a predator.

Ayame:" Wow!! How cute!!!" As she said that, she started to pinch my cheeks and rubbed her cheeks against mine.

Ayame:" Look how adorable you are!!!"

Teuchi:" AYAME!!.stop bothering the customer!!"

It seemed that it worked because after her father said that, she instantly came off and started working harder.

And that bastard Hiroshi was looking with an amused face.

'I won't save you when you're getting scolded by Yuriko.'

<Sir, dont you think that a little petty.>

'Petty or not, I'm having my revenge.'

Talking with Iris for a while, the food finally came. and as I used [Observe], it showed this.

[Extra spicy Ramen] [ Epic]

[ ×2xp 24/hr]

[ Restores 75% Health and Chakra]

[ + 25 Chakra]

[ +25 Health]

[ + 25 all stats]

[ Used for one-time consumption]

My first [Epic], and it was ramen, though I don't mind, especially with the increase of stats, and there's the [×2xp] that lasts for one day. And like that, me and Hiroshi ate in peace.

Hiroshi:" So kid, what do you want to do now?"

After eating, Hiroshi and i were standing outside of Ichiraku Ramen. Answering Hiroshi's question, I pulled out the map from my shirt through the inventory. Grabbing the map from my hands, he spoke.

Hitoshi:" You want to go after the legendary fish there?"

Nodding at him, we both went to get supplies as bait, traps, and a fishing rod for Hiroshi. After gearing up, we arrived at a cliff and a lake below.

[New Side Quest]

[ Legendary Fish]

[ A legendary fish that was said to have magical properties. You have to catch that fish.]

[ Rewards: D rank Water Jutsu, 150xp, 2,500 Ryo, 8 levels water Affinity and stance]

Finding an abandoned boat, we used it to go into the middle of the lake. As we're both on the boat, I was flipping the [Lucky Coin] 3 times before getting a debuff, but the next spin canceled it.

I flipped it once more, and I kept doing this 27 times. I only managed to increase my luck by 12 more points.

[Luck 93 -> 108]

Hiroshi:" Hey kid, why are you flipping that coin? Aren't we supposed to be fishing?"

"Luck,"

Hiroshi:" Oh, a lucky charm, huh?"

"mhm." Nodding at him, I kept flipping the coin to increase my luck. till my luck reached 126.

[ Luck 108 ->126 ]

after reaching 100 and leveling up my [Fishing] skull made the rate of catching fishes faster. But we couldn't keep many of them as they were still young. As minutes passed by suddenly, I heard a notification.

[Lucky enounter]

'What!?' Before I could check on the notification, my [Sixth sense] alerted me, and before I could stand, the board was suddenly tipped over. Falling into the water, I used to observe and find who tipped the boat over. seeing nothing but darkness around me, I finally caught them. But when I saw the status, I tried to bring out the katana.

[Legendary Fish King] [Level 53]

[ Health 15,300]

'Iris!! Give me the katana'

The beast saw me and started to swim toward me at a fast rate.

< I can't you need to be Level 20 to weird it.>

'Shit!! Give a kunai then.'

< Yes, sir>

Having a Kunai in my hand used focus to predict its attack and to counter attack dogding to the right, and used the water current that the beast caused. to attack the gills.

[ Critical Damage: 146]

[ Animal whisperer 25 bonus damage]

[ 15,300 -> 15, 129]

'Shit, that didn't do anything, Iris, give me another Kunai.'

<Yes, sir>

With Duel kunais, I could use [ Duel wielding] that increases 28 damage and critical damage.

As the Beast was moving with a trail of blood into the darkness, I tried to sense him with the water currents moving.

[New skill]

[water sensing] [ Level 1]

[ Sense anything with water 5km around you]

Suddenly sensing him swimming to my behind, I turned to get ready for an attack. and a few seconds later, my [Sixth sense] went off and saw the beast closing in and attacked his eyes.

[Critical Damage: 146]

[Deul wielding +25 damage bonus]

[ Animal whisperer + 25 bonus damage]

[ 15, 129 -> 14, 930 ]

But as I was finished attacking its eye, it moved its head to hit me off, causing me to lose health

[ -131hp]

[ Hp 152/283]

After that, I was attacking it for 3 more minutes, and my health was filled again. But suddenly, I pulled out by Hiroshi, who was also wet.

Hiroshi:" Hey kid, are you okay."

Nodding at him as he was holding me from the back of the neck like a wet cat with round sunglasses.

Hiroshi:" Well, we should hurry and leave now."

After saying that, I was worried that I won't be able to finish the mission, but since there was no penalty and I barely managed to bring down its health I was just about to let it go when Hiroshi stopped. when I was about to ask him, my [Sixth sense] warned me to dodge.

Hiroshi:" Yuto, move out of the way!!'

I already did before he said that, and when we moved, the beast was in the air, and as I got a clear view of the beast, it was black with purplish scales. and as I was observing, it was falling towards me trying to swallow me. but before it could, it was burned with a fire ball.

Hiroshi:" Yuto!! move now. "

Running towards Hiroshi, as he threw kunais that the beast. Hiroshi threw another [Fireball jutsu] at the beast, and as he did that, there was Mist rising. And I saw this as an opportunity.

'Iris, could you help me with understanding the Mist.'

< Yes, but you need to focus on the Battle as well.>

'I use [Parallel Thoughts], and you use the other thinking box to help me understand the mist.'

<Understood>

Using [Parallel Thoughts] to understand Mist and the other to focus on the battle at hand.

Hiroshi:" Come on, kid, let's use the Mist as cover."

Nodding at him as I held my kunais to ready for any attacks.

Hiroshi:" Here, kid, if you have the opportunity, use these paper bombs. All you have to do is inject your Chakra into it and throw it at the opponent.

Nodding at him as I grabbed 5 paper bombs from him.

[Paper bombs] [ Uncommon] x5

[ Damage: 750]

[ Critical Damage: 1500]

Using the Mist as cover, I used [Water sensing ]

to see any disturbance and sense a huge figure coming towards Hiroshi.

"Left."

Hiroshi understood and moved out of the way, and I ran and attached two paper bombs on its underbelly.

[ Critical Damage 3,000]

[ 9,457 -> 6,457]

As the fish realized that it was critically damaged, it started to use its chakra to summon water bullets. Using [focus] and [Sixth sense], I managed to dodge them. and so did Hiroshi, and he countered with a [Fireball jutsu], making the Mist rise once more.

< Finished sir>

'Great'

[Mist affinity] [ Level 1]

[ +10 damage for Mist damage]

[ Mist stance ]

[ +10 damage in Mist]

[ +10% speed movement]

Since I don't have a katana, I can't use [Mist stance]. In the Mist the beast, once more submerged into the water, moving with Hiroshi, I tied a [Paper bomb] to a [Kunai] making a [ Paper bombs Kunai].

[ Crafting] [ Level 1 -> 2]

Hiroshi, seeing what I made looked at me with a complicated face and did the same.

Hiroshi:" Alright, once it jumps up again, we'll attack it with these."

Nodding at his simple plan. but as we got ready in case it jumped out again. the water beneath moved into a whirlpool, and as it was getting bigger. My [Sixth sense ] kept ringing louder. And as I focused on the middle of the whirlpool, my [Sixth sense] told me that it was a weakness there. So I threw the [Paper Bomb Kunai] in the middle, and Hiroshi did the same.

*Boom* * Splaaaaassshhh*

The water erupted upwards, and I and Hiroshi were on guard. till I heard a notification that I knew I finished the beast and the quest. Not losing my guard in case there was another that could be its partner, but none came out. I didn't lose my guard in till its dead carcass floated up.

After I and Hiroshi lost our guard, we both walked up to the Beast.

Hiroshi:" Shhesh, this guy is huge!!"

"mhm." Nodding at him as I used a kunai to pry its scale off that was bigger than my body, and get into its flesh.

[Legendary Fish Kings Meat] [ Legendary] x12

[ + 2,500 Chakra]

[ 1,500 Health]

[ +50 increase in stats]

* A few minutes later,

Me and Hiroshi were around a campfire cooking the fish we had taken down. And it was peace until Hiroshi pointed out something from earlier.

Hiroshi:" I didn't know you were a sensor."

Before replying with my usual nod, we were interrupted.

???:" Who's a sensor?"

I'm looking up toward the person who joined us, and I instantly recognized him.
