Chapter 8

I lazily walked into the hokage office. You know I'm surprised that Hiruzen can stand in front of me without shaking anymore.

It was amusing to see the so called Hokage shake when he saw me with my Madara length hair, black clothes and sharingan activated. When I met with the hokage to take my first mission, I had forgotten to change back to my Shorter hair.

Seeing Hiruzen shaking in his boots was worth it to me. Ever since then, I had kept my hair long as usual. Not just to scare him but it would waste time in my shorter hair to lengthen my hair in a fight.

Definitely had nothing to do with scaring the hokage. Nope.

I stood in front of him with a bored look and asked "What do you want?"

"Brat! Show the Hokage some respect!" A voice that I didn't recognize yelled out. I looked around the room, to realize that there was another shinobi that I didn't even notice.

'He should be chunin by the looks of it. What the heck? How insignificant can you be that I didn't notice you!?' Those were my exact thoughts as I stared at the chunin but despite that, my face remained stoic.

I didn't bother responding. Ignoring him completely, I turned to the Hokage with a questioning look.

"I was afraid you'd gone home but I have to ask for you assistance for a mission." He said seemingly pleadingly. I don't really care, I just want to go on a mission.

The chunin seemed ready to shout seeing the hokage looking like he was asking instead of ordering me.

"Hokage-sa-" he started but his complaints were drowned out by my question.

"What is the mission...and what does it have to do with him?" I boredly asked. He seemed relieved but wary that I seemingly accepted .

"A B-rank mission. The mission is to clear a bandit camp that has been laying low at the border of the land of fire. Normally this would be a C rank but from what few information we have, it seems that there are a few ninja among them. We are unclear on their strengths so please proceed with caution." He explained but I wasn't satisfied.

"You still haven't told me how it involves this idiot." I said, pointing my thumb at the now angry chunin.

"Seeing as how you are a sole team, going on a B rank solo is suicidal for you. He is going with you to assist on the mission." He said cautiously.

'So that's why he was wary.'

I was about to protest when I thought of something. Would I still get system points if a partner kills someone? No better time to find out than now.

"Do whatever you want. It doesn't concern me." I turned to walk out of the office. When I got to the door, I turned back to look at the occupants of the room.

"Note of warning. I'm not babysitting him. Whether he dies or not isn't my problem." I said to the Hokage. I turned to the angry and embarrassed chunin.

"Idiot chunin, Meet me at the gate in exactly an hour. If you slow me down, I'll kill you myself."

With that, I walked out before flashing to my room. The reason I said to meet me in an hour was to give me time to take a small nap. I maxed out [Create life] a while ago so I made something...interesting.

Strong people have their own summons. I have signed both the crow and the snake contract. I don't feel comfortable using either of them as my signature summon so...I created one.

The first thing I did before I created it was to create a special skill [Body Modification]. This skill is a bit tricky. I was going to go for shapeshifting but this is far more effective. With this I can perform the same feats as a shapeshifter and I can also manipulate my body in many ways.

At max level, which it is right now, I can make myself as big as the Nine tails, I can make myself grow wings out of my back, I could make myself have tails springtime by out of my butt if I wanted.

He'll, I could turn into a dog if I wanted to. After creating this skill, I began creating my summon. You might be wondering where all the creatures I created with [Create life] are. Well that's simply the work of my E.M.S(Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan).

The power of my left eye is something I'm familiar with. I can't remember the name it was called but it's the ability that Sasuke got after he got his Rinnegan. The ability to switch myself or anyone else with anything in my sight.

The power of my right eye is what helped me a lot. It creates a portal to a personal dimension just like Obito's. However, unlike Obito, I can manipulate my dimension however I see fit. It could be a lush forest one second and a boiling volcano the next.

Right now, my dimension is filled with different animals and creatures that I created using [Create life]. It's appearance is that of a forest to make it easier for the created creatures. The best part about it is that the space is limitless. I once tried to see how big my dimension was.

I spent a whole day running at full speed to reach the end, at some point I changed to my [Assault Mode] to go faster. It was endless, which is good for me. Back to my summon.

I created it in the form of a normal sized white and red eagle. I then transferred a copy of [Wind Manipulation],[Body Modification] and [Healing Hands].

[Wind Manipulation] to attack opponents, [Body Manipulation] to be able to change into different forms should the situation arise and [Healing hands] for a situation where I'm unable to heal myself or someone else.

It would be amusing to see him turn into the Kyubi while in Konoha. I had him do that in my dimension on a whim and partly out of curiosity. Seeing that my creation was a success, I had to think of a name. Shiro, that's what I called him. I'm not good at naming things.

I activated my E.M.S, my right eyes glowed ominously as a black portal opened up in front of me. A white eagle flew out of the portal and landed on my shoulder. It's easy to call him out or communicate with him, I have a sort of empathetic link with him. I deactivated my eyes as the portal closed. It's not a perfect way of summoning him but it'll do until i work out a summoning contract.

The essence of bringing him out was for him to watch over me as I napped and also because he would be following me on this 'mission'. I lay in bed as I dozed off.

...

...

I was tempted to create another skill but I threw that idea away. I grimaced at the skill [Overhaul]. As it is, there are skills that created but haven't used. [Body Modification] is probably the last skill I'll create for a few years. It's getting tedious having too much.

The reason why I created this, it solves a lot of problems for me. Using my normal jutsu and skills, any fight would end too quickly for it to be interesting or entertaining. I'm not a battle freak but I like trying out new things. And best of all, it gives me an excuse to be lazy.

I may not look like it but I'm very similar to Shikamaru. In my past life, though I was smart, I was naturally lazy. I could get a 100 in every test I got in school but there was no point. It's the same response I'll get at home no matter the score.

The other reason I actually worked and trained a lot to become strong was so that I could be lazy with anyone bothering me. I could swat away anyone annoying and go back to sleep. With this, I can get back in touch with my lazy side. I could sleep as a bird while watching them tear out their heads looking for me. It was relaxing as hell.

I leisurely get all the things I need into my inventory before leaving a note on my bed stand saying that I was going on a mission. Ino would probably come by later while Hinata is too shy.

With Shiro on my shoulder, I flashed to the marker at the Konoha gate. I appeared there in a black flash.

'It's refreshing not needing to walk anywhere.At the moment, I'm happy with markers at every corner of the village.'

When I had mastered the Hiraishin, I had disguised shadow clones put markers all around Konoha to easy movement. Now I only had to walk to keep up appearances.

Looking around, there were no signs of the chunin. I waited by the gate for a long time before the chunin showed up. The hour limit had long passed by the time he showed up. That wasn't all, he showed up with a smug look on his face. I was tempted to let shiro have him as a snack.

"Where were you?" I asked annoyed. He didn't even look at me.

"None of your business brat." He replied. I immediately used [Telekinesis] to lift him off the floor and telekinetic force to grip his neck tightly.

"Do you think I care about you. Make another smart retort and I'll kill you before we even leave the village. Let's go" I said before I release him to fall on the floor, his eyes wide in fear as he struggled to get up.

I had Shiro turn into a panther large enough for me to ride. I got on him, the chunin who had just calmed himself down would have followed me had it not been for the glare I gave him when he tried.

In a few minutes we were making our way to the border of the land of fire, me riding Shiro and the no name chunin on foot. He was struggling to keep up with Shiro's speed. He was going at full speed to keep up with Shiro so it was no surprise that he was panting before we went halfway.

"What's wrong, can't keep up?" I mocked. He looked like he wanted to say something then he stopped before continuing his attempt to catch up. That struck me as strange. I was half sure it was because o threatened him before we left but I wasn't completely sure.

Leaving the riding to Shiro, I used [Art of the mind] on him just to be sure.

[[[___]]]

Izuna was riding calmly on his panther while the chunin struggled. Suddenly Izuna slowly sat up, with his bangs covering his eyes. Suddenly the panther sped up even more, leaving the chunin in the dust.

With Shiro's increased speed, they got to the camp in a couple of minutes. The bandit camp was right ahead, evident by the number of tents erupted together. The bandits seemed to notice them coming and were prepared for combat.

Without slowing down, Izuna went through a series of hand seals. He leaped off Shiro high into the air as he made the final seal.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation"

A literal sea of intense flames spewed out of his mouth and unto the camp. The camp was fairly large, any other shinobi using this jutsu wouldn't be able to damage even half of the camp but with Izuna's permanent buff from being related to Madara, he was different.

The entire camp with its members were consumed by the intense stream of seemingly never ending flames. Izuna stood in the middle of the burning camp, the bandits charred corpses littered around him with none spared.

From the distance, the smoke emerging from the remains of the camp looked enormous but Izuna didn't seem to care as his eyes were still shadowed. He leapt back up into the air as Shiro who had transformed into a large eagle caught him on his back.

They made their way back to Konoha at intense speed. The chunin below saw the large pillar of smoke rising in the direction of the bandit camp and tried to increase his speed. He tripped and fell unto his back. As he lay on his back, a large bird flew passed in the sky at such high speed that he would have thought it was his imagination. He dismissed the bird as a summoning animal.

Meanwhile, Izuna had made his way to Konoha and was headed straight for the hokage office. When they were above Konoha, Izuna opened up a black portal which Shiro flew into as Izuna leapt off him, free falling over the hokage tower.

He crashed straight through the roof and landed in the hokage office with an enraged look. What he saw enraged him further. Ino and Hinata, each being restrained being restrained several Anbu. Izuna's form blurred but remained in the same spot...at least, that's what it looked like.

The 6 Anbu restraining them immediately fell to the ground. Anyone who looked closely could see that their necks were broken...very violently.

Twin red orbs stared at the hokage in rage.

"Sarutobi, you have tested my patience long enough." He said angrily. Before he could say anymore, the room was flooded with many jonin and Anbu alike. Even the jonin instructors for this year were present.

They quickly assessed the situation, seeing Izuna in rage and Ino and Hinata behind him, they had a vague understanding of what was going on. Kakashi was the first to speak.

"Izuna, what is the meaning of this? Stand down." Kakashi said, trying to de-escalate the situation.

"Kakashi, you remember what happened all those years ago. You defended him, look at your hokage now." Izuna said without looking back. Everyone present looked confused on what he was talking about. Everyone except Kakashi and the hokage who had been silent all this while.

"What do you mean?" Kakashi asked with narrowed eyes. Izuna's eyes remained on the elderly hokage as he spoke.

"Like I said. Unlike the drivel he likes to speak about the will of fire, he sees shinobi and the people of Konoha as tools at best. Your hokage sent me on a 'mission' with a weak chunin with the intention for the chunin to keep me outside the village for as long as possible." He paused, letting it sink in.

"His plan was to coerce Ino and Hinata, members and heiresses of your clan..." He started again, this time looking at Hiashi and Inoichi before continuing.

"...convince me to be his lap dog and keep me completely loyal to Konoha. In fact, some of you were present for the meeting when he announced his plan." He said looking at some jonin and chunin among them. The eyes of many ninja present darkened, especially that of Inoichi but Izuna wasn't done yet.

"I know for a fact that jonin instructors for this year were not aware of this plan or meeting. Kakashi for his friendship to me, Asuma for being Ino's team instructor and Kurenai for being Hinata's team instructor. I have no qualms with you." Izuna stated.

It was silent for a while until one jonin spoke up. "Who the hell do you think you are, brat! You're just one measly genin, don't overestimate yourself! I bet you're parents don't even care about you." He said the last part smugly.

"Oh boy..." this was said by Kakashi who sighed. Kurenai and Asuma looked at him in confusion but he motioned for them to watch.

Izuna's sharingan locked on to the jonin form. "Let me make something clear..." Izuna before he disappeared from view, appearing at the door facing away from them.

"...You can say what you want about me or my bastard of a father, but..." he slowly turned to face them.

"...never talk shit about my mother." He finished as he fully faced them. Some weak hearted people puked right there at what they saw. In Izuna's right hand was a bloody and beating heart.

He stared in hate at the jonin who now coughed out blood, falling to his knees. Izuna squished them heart like a balloon as the jonin fell face first, never to wake up again. He looked at the occupants of the room, most of them flinched as he walked passed them, making his way to Ino and Hinata.

The fact that he killed the man finally registered in the hokage as he let out his killing intent. The jonin and chunin in the room flinched once more. Izuna simply looked at the hokage like he was a fly.

"Is that it...?" He asked. Suddenly a heavy pressure filled the room as everyone, including the hokage was brought to his knees. Chakra was bursting out of Izuna in waves so much that the hokage tower cracked and a bit of Konoha was shaking violently.

"Don't get cocky. Try something like this again and Konoha will be searching for a new Kage." He said calmly but anyone looking at his eyes could see the rage within.

Those who managed to raise their heads to look at him gasped in shock. Behind Izuna, the image of a man with black spiky back length hair donning red armor with his arms folded. More importantly the sharingan in his eye sockets.

'Uchiha Madara!' That was the resounding thought. They looked between the figures of Madara and Izuna and paled in terror. Izuna practically a mirror image of Madara, disregarding age. Same pitch black back length hair, same calm anger in their eyes and same posture.

The image disappeared as Hiruzen almost fainted in shock. Ino and Hinata, who remained unaffected by Izuna's pressure or show of dominance put their hands on his shoulders as they disappeared in a flash of black.

The pressure disappeared as soon as they left. There was only the sound of panting in the room. Those who managed to catch their breath rushed to the hokage's side. All except Kurenai, Asuma, Kakashi and Inoichi. Truth be told, Izuna excluded them from the pressure but somehow left a message in their minds to act like it affected them.

Hiruzen faced the room before speaking. "What occurred in this room is classified as an S-rank secret punishable by death." Eyes widened at his statement. "As of this moment, Izuna Uchiha is a possible danger to the village. Be cautious and avoid any confrontation with him. There might still be a way to turn this around."

"Hai" chorused all jonin while this year's instructors shook they're head at the shamelessness of their Kage. One Nara in particular sighed quietly.

'I knew this would come back to bite us. How troublesome. I dread the day he decides to go against Konoha. It's a wonder how they seem to believe that they could take him on. That power play should have cleared it up. *Sigh* Hiruzen, I hope you don't lead Konoha to it's destruction.'

One thing was certain today. Izuna Uchiha was not someone to take lightly.
