We Get Stronger or We Die.
"AAAHHH!!!... Where am I?!... The mission?!... My teammates!AAAAAAHHHHH!!!"
"Mother!! Calm down, mother!! Calm down, please!!! Don't do any abrupt movement, you have been heavily injured..."
"I-Ichinaru!!! So, I really made it, I'm...."
Chiaki shouted her son's name but after a few words, her throat tightened and tears flowed from her eyes.
"Yes, mother! You are in Konoha, you are safe now.... Here, have some water."
Tears flowed from Ichinaru's eyes as he wiped her mother's tears with his left hand, while helping his mother drunk some water with his right hand. Ever since, he came to this world, Ichinaru had never seen Chiaki in such a state. Her left arm has been literally torn apart from her shoulder, a large burnt mark could also be seen on her face, and her right arm, and fingers were broken. She also had several damaged interal organs, but luckily, no vitals were damaged.
[Flash back begun]
Two days ago
At Ichinaru's and Chiaki's residence
In Ichinaru's room
'Can you go check mother's whereabouts.... It's been more than a week since she left, go straight to Konoha Military Police Force after all she's part of that organisation.... I think that they should known about her. Once it's done, send me the information direc-'
"Ichinaru!!!... Ichinaru!!!...Ichinaru!!"
'Keep the telepathic link on, please... Someone is calling for us at the front door.'
One of the clone that was training shape transformation using the rasengan, said to Ichinaru telepathically as he cancelled the small rasengan that he has managed to create and headed down the stairs.
Ichinaru opened the front door of the house and he saw a man with large physique and black-coloured hair and eyes standing at the door. The man was Uchiha Izuno, one of the clansmen that were firmly opposed to Ichinaru living in the Uchiha Compound.
"What do you want, Izuno!!"
Ichinaru's clone said coldly as he stared at Izuno.
"Zip it brat!! I'm not here to argue with you... I'm here to ask you to follow me quickly, it's very important, brat.!!"
Izuno said as he turned his back and walked away.
'Follow him, even if he tries anything to harm us... It will be useless, but still how does him know that I have left you one of mh clones at home... Only mother should know this, and she would never tell anyone unless something serious happened to her... I might be worrying for nothing, but I have a bad feeling about all this... What on earth is happening, is mother really fine?'
Ichinaru said telepathically to his clone and the latter followed Izuno silently with a worried expression. It was only thanks to the google that he wore constantly due to the promise he made with her mother, that no one could see his expression properly.
After 30 minutes, Ichinaru and Izuno entered a room of the Konoha Hospital.
"What's the meaning of this.... Why is my mother lying on this hospital bed?... What happened Izuno?"
Ichinaru said immediately after he saw her unconscious mother on the hospital bed connected to a perfusion.
"Sh-"
But before Izuno could answer him, Ichinaru was already beside her mother's bed and pulled her blanket. It was at this moment that he came to realise the shocking state of his mother.
" Your mother was severely wounded during a secret that involved the collaboration of the Anbu and the Konoha Military Police Force... She was the only one that survived and I'm still surprised how she made it back to the village... The only thing Chiaki said when she arrived this morning, was to look for you and that the perpetrator of this slaughter wore a black cloak with red clouds... She also said that he uses threads, he can create puppets with those thread, and he took out the hearts of all the other four ninjas involved in this mission."
'Kakuzu.... The Akatsuki... Those bastards!!! I will killed them all.'
*puff*
Ichinaru's clone suddenly dispersed in thin air.
[Flashback ended ]
"Don't worry mother, I will make the one that did this to you pay.... I might be weak right now but I will not be weak for long.. No matter what, I'll get stronger. So just get well and leave the rest to me, mother."
Ichinaru said as he lifted his googles and showed his three tomoe sharingan to her mother.
Two hours later,
Inside of Ichinaru's room.
"Multiple Shadow clones!!!!"
Ichinaru shouted as he performed a hand seal with both of his hands, and his room was completely occupied by one hundred clones.
"I know that it's unnecessary but I will still say it... Now, my chakra has been divided by 100 and all of us has only one hundredth of my initial chakra reserve... So, first we are going to separate ourselves in 12 different groups... The groups will be named from A to L....
Group A will consist of two clones that will be tasked to look after our home and mother... Group B will consist of five clones and will be training in shape transformation using the rasengan... Group C will consist of five clones and will be perfecting the fire nature transformation... Group D, E, F, and G will consist of ten clones each and will be tasked to train in Wind nature transformation, Lightning nature transformation, Earth transformation, and Water nature transformation respectively.
Group H and I will each consist of fifteen clones and will be tasked to train in Yin nature transformation and Yang nature transformation respectively. Group J, K and L will consit each of six clones each and will be respectively tasked with taijutsu/physical training, byakugan and sharingan trainings, and spiritual trainings. As for me, I will be meditating and monitoring all the tasks that has been assigned to each group via our telepathic links.
Now, each find a place inside the house to mediate for the next two hours in order to refill your chakra reserves and then, start your respective tasks. Also We will train without stopping and this training will keep up even when I'm on a mission... From now on it's either we get stronger or we die. I will accept no other outcomes... Now that everything is clear, let's get started, guys."
