8 New Mission

For the last month and a half, Nobita had been training to refine his skills further, and he had progressed leaps and bounds in each of his stats. His body had also transformed as he hit the age of 13. His friends held a party for him at his house, which included Kurenai, Kiba, Hinata, Shino, Jiro (younger bro), Yui (former teammate), and Asahi (former teammate).

It was a happy and enjoyable occasion, and everybody had a good time. There was lots of food and drinks, and Nobita received meaningful gifts from everyone. He felt truly blessed with his group of friends.

During this period, he had taken Jiro out to train and had taught him some emergency defensive and offensive jutsu. He wanted to make sure that his brother would be safe when he was away from the village. Thanks to his training, Jiro had advanced to the top of his class and did very well in his exams.

As a reward, Nobita bought him his favourite video game consoles and games. However, this month and half was mainly used for training and these were his stats at the end of this time period.

Nobita had awoken a new Chakra affinity and had been practicing creating the Rasenshuriken jutsu, which although was in its prenatal stages, thanks to the practice, his Chakra control was nearing 500. His memory of anime helped him easily emulate the steps that Naruto took to develop it, and boy was it difficult.

He had also progressed significantly in his fire release armour and could now use it for up to 3 minutes. He was also able to add a neat modification to this armour.

Nobita had also been able to advance in his Kenjutsu, specifically in cutter of fire, with his fire release sword. It had become a true weapon.

He also further practiced his Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags jutsu, as it was a lifesaver card, which he would only use if his life was truly in danger.

His physical stats had improved as he had been wearing extremely heavy weights during training. He also took extreme care of his body, as he ate healthy and nutritious food thanks to his personal chef. He had also hired a chakra masseuse, who could heal his body by using the dispersed Chakra in his organs to improve his recovery time. Thanks to this, he was able to feel excellent and motivated during every day of training.

He was now able to easily physically overpower Kurenai, and her level of Taijutsu was unable to keep up.

The Chunin exams were in three months time, and he needed to get into more life threating experiences. The best way would be to go and kill someone listed on the Bingo Book. He could also earn a lot of money, which he had a plan for.

After searching for a bit in the Bingo Book, he found the perfect target. Deidara would be ripe for the picking. Nobita felt that he would be the easiest to kill since he would not have reached his prime yet, and would instead be a complete greenhorn. He also felt he matched up well against a teenager, instead of some experienced monster. Nonetheless, as a part of the Akatsuki, his bounty was very high, 55 million ryo high.

Now all Nobita had to do was seek out information where he could find Deidara alone and sneak attack him. The black market would be a great place to get some information.

Thus, Nobita packed his bags and left quickly in search of his target. He went to the nearest black market and after verifying some information, he was able to get into the office. It was located in a shady looking area and the office was completely dark.

Nobita: "I need the location of a member of the Akatsuki. Deidara specifically."

Black market dude: "That is possible, this information will cost you 3 million ryo."

Nobita without any haggling paid the price.

Black market dude: "You will find your target near Kirigakure. He is currently on a solo mission doing reconnaissance."

Nobita nodded and exited the black market. He then rushed on his way to Kirigakure. Nobita knew that although the village could be hard to find, by paying a little money here and there, it would be no problem.

He had to be careful though in order to launch a surprise attack on Deidara. He wanted to be able to increase his chances of winning.

In order to reach this village, Nobita would have to infiltrate the land of water, which was composed of a series of islands. Thus began his long journey to find Deidara.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It took him a week to cross the islands while remaining incognito, and trying to find the mysterious and elusive village.

Finally! He had found the village and it was time to spot Deidara, before he was the one spotted.

Nobita entered the village by providing some false identification and was then promptly able to make his way around the village. He scoured the village but saw no sign of the young Akatsuki member. It took him nearly three days before he was able to find Deidara disguised as a local Shinobi, he even wore the Kirigarkure headband.

The reason Nobita was able to spot him was because of his unique set of eyes, they looked very distinctive. Furthermore, his left eye was always covered with hair, and although this information was not complete proof, Nobita was willing to take a chance. In the worst case scenrio, he would just escape the land of water.

Nobita had to find the perfect opportunity to kill Deidara, it coudn't be in a crowded place, as he would be unable to recover his head and other goodies. Plus if a fight broke out, it would be a 1v1, instead of all the shinobi of the village trying to kill him. Thus for the next three days, Nobita closely observed Deidara and finally found him exiting the village. He headed into the forest, this would be the perfect opportunity to kill him!

He made sure to wait a little bit and then follow Deidara as stealthily as he could, using his cloak of invisibility jutsu.

Then, deep in the forest, he found Deidara sitting down and molding clay. He was probably creating his supply of clay explosives, which meant he was low on them. This was indeed a Godsend opportunity to decapitate him.
