Chapter 9

After Several Days

Anko shouted, "I'm back to my old self!"

Sindbad clapped his hands, "Congratulations!"

Anko looked at Sindbad, blushing slightly, and said, "Man, it was pure chaos."

Sindbad replied, "You're right."

Anko continued, "But you've changed a lot... You seem more dangerous than ever, just like Orochimaru-sensei."

Flashback...

Sindbad looked at the system notifications:

Urgent Mission: The Lost Novice

Name: Troublemaker Anko

Mission: Somehow, Anko stumbled into a war zone as soon as you arrived at the camp. Not ideal, but hey, at least it's exciting! Look at it this way, every enemy you defeat is just another point towards that new jutsu scroll you've had your eye on. Besides, who needs luck when you have guts (and a slightly sadistic teammate)?

Goals and Rewards:

Genin: These fresh faces (200 experience points)Chunin: They have some experience but are still weak (500 experience points)Jonin (Special Jonin): Now we're talking! These guys have power (1000 experience points)Jonin: Veterans, watch your back (2000 experience points)Elite Jonin: Battlefield leaders. High risk, high reward (3000 experience points)

Sindbad whistled in admiration as he stood beside Anko, who was sleeping in the medical tent.

Sindbad, looking amazed, said, "Isn't this from One Piece? Isn't this system supposed to be for Sindbad from the anime Magi?" He then looked at the ticket in his hand, tore it up, and immediately fell asleep.

In a White Room

Sindbad stood in front of a screen that read, "Please choose your trainer."

Sindbad looked at the many options, then went to the search bar and typed "Zenin Toji."

Sindbad disappeared from the white room and reappeared in the middle of a destroyed city, facing Zenin Toji, who wore a tight black shirt with a curse mark on his shoulder.

Toji smiled at Sindbad, "These will be the happiest six months of my life," and disappeared from his place, leaving Sindbad looking at his own body. Then Sindbad's body returned to normal.

Toji said, "The first rule for assassins is to always be ready."

Sindbad activated his Chakra Sword and said, "These will be the longest six months of my life."

Toji's training consisted of one part (trying to stay alive), and Toji was the best teacher for this lesson, killing Sindbad in every brutal way imaginable. Once, Toji turned Sindbad into a red paste. Another time, Toji gave Sindbad a break, only to crush him between two cars while laughing at Sindbad's suffering. This brings us to the present, in the middle of the sixth month.

Toji said, "You've been alive for five days, that's good progress."

Sindbad replied, "As expected of me."

Toji frowned and threw a car at Sindbad. Sindbad tilted his body to the side, avoiding the car and Toji, who was behind it.

Sindbad smiled and unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, directing it at Toji.

Toji smiled, "I've... created a monster. Now you can call yourself my student."

Skill: Conqueror's Haki (Advanced)

End of Flashback...

Sindbad looked at his body, which had developed significantly compared to before. Sindbad commented internally, "Senju cells are amazing. My body is gradually transforming into one like Goku's," then smiled maniacally.

Anko said, "You get dumber every day, you damned monster. I wish some of your cursed talent would go to your intelligence."

Sindbad replied, "Let's go, Orochimaru-sensei is waiting for us."

The two walked towards Orochimaru through the camp, where the groaning of the injured had finally subsided.

Orochimaru smiled as soon as he saw them and said, "You've finally arrived." He looked at Sindbad and said, "A message from Sarutobi-sensei has arrived for you."

Sindbad and Anko, both surprised, said, "Me?! / Him?!"

Orochimaru's smile widened, "Sensei has promoted you to Special Jonin. You are now the fastest to reach this rank in the village's history. Even before that battle, you were already equal to this rank."

Anko shouted so loudly the whole camp could hear, "What?!?!?!?" Then she covered her mouth with her hands.

Orochimaru paused for a moment, giving Sindbad an analytical look, "You are now more dangerous than that rank. I grant you Elite Jonin."

Sindbad smiled widely.

Orochimaru thought to himself, "His talent is insane. If I fought him now, I wouldn't be able to win easily."
