Missions

The next day Orochimaru woke up at 4:00 AM as usual. He wore loose clothes and did some light exercises and kunai throwing practice. It is easily noticed that his kunai throwing technique has increased significantly due to new talents. After that, he started taijutsu practices.

If anyone sees the practice he will be only able to see movements that are changed between fast and slow irregularly.

After training, he came back home and said good morning to his mother who was making breakfast and freshened up. After that, he wore a kimono and stored shuriken and other ninja tools while he saw that it was already 5:30 AM. After eating breakfast he reached the same ground while waiting for Madara sensei to arrive.

Waiting for some time he saw that Madara sensei arrived.

"Take it"

Madara sensei said to Orochimaru while throwing Konoha's headband at him.

It seems that headbands are given after passing the exam of team leader.

Madara took him for a photograph which was taken by every team with their sensei.

If anyone sees the photograph they will only see two people with an emotionless face as if ready to kill the photographer.

Madara sensei said to Orochimaru

"You have chosen your taijutsu path. So, I would not comment on that, although it is in its preliminary stage and it needs tempering from fighting experience."

Madara took out chakra paper and handed it to Orochimaru.

"This is the chakra paper used for checking the chakra affinity of a person. Check it, with this you can see which type of jutsus you should focus on."

Orochimaru entered chakra according to Madara's instruction and was not surprised that it showed all 5 chakra attributes that can be shown on chakra paper. After all, he has Yata no Kagami which increases all seven elements affinity.

But it doesn't mean Madara was not surprised, after all, it was unheard of a person to have all chakra attributes. But he still accepted it after all although it has not been seen doesn't mean that it does not mean it doesn't exist.

"Surprisingly you have all chakra affinity. It is certainly good. In the future, it will be helpful"

Orochimaru understood that Madara is talking about chakra transformation. After all, it is less difficult for a person with affinity.

As for why not teach him now, of course, you will not teach a person to run before walking.

Firstly he should have experience and knowledge of that nature and chakra control should also be high. It is an advanced technique increasing the efficiency of jutsu and giving more versatility.

Orochimaru has all elements although the jutsu effect will be less due to not transforming chakra, he should be able to practice jutsu of every element.

"You can choose missions on your own, but I won't accompany you. After all, you should depend on yourself. Every Sunday I would fight with you to see progress and train you accordingly."

Madara sensei trained him today. He revealed some of his flaws, and he was surprised as his taijutsu and other techniques progress was increased by a large margin. After all, even though he has the training method, but there was no one there to teach him.

But it was a little biased to call it a fight, after all, there was too much difference between him and the shadow clone of Madara.

As for jutsus, Madara said he can take them from the Ninja library using merit points gained through missions, although Madara would point out for the practice if Orochimaru faces any difficulty.

Although he is Madara's disciple it's not like he would teach him secret fire techniques of the Uchiha clan, after all the takes time for everything.

Next day:

Orochimaru POV

After practice and other things, I arrived at Hokage tower for my for taking my first mission. Although I have to take a mission from Hokage as it is a tradition that a team receives the first mission from Hokage.

Arriving inside the room I noticed and greeted Hokage sama while bowing a little.

"Haha, no need for these, you must be here for mission right. Hmm~ let's see you could have D rank mission to catch a cat"

Well, I was surprised am I also going to catch on my first mission, is it Tora's father. As if Hokage sama read my mind(which was not possible due to calm mind skill). He explained further:

"It is a tamed grade 3 danger beast, although it will not happen to you it's the speed at escaping is very good. It is a cat of a person s

from daimyo's relative so catch it unharmed"

'Yup, it is certainly Tora's ancestor'

I am regaining confidence that I am the protagonist after all it is a cliche for the protagonist's first mission to catch the cat.

But I noticed that I have to do cursed D rank missions. It is a rule to complete a certain amount of D rank mission before handing over a C rank mission if the genin has done good work. Ignoring some special circumstances like war.

In hindsight, it is for team bonding and receiving some teachings from team leaders for making them ready for missions.

Although he fo does not have a team the rules can't be changed for him alone.

I completed the mission to catch the cat very quickly, with my hyper-awareness talent and speed how could a level 3 danger beast escape me. Although he was fast for mid-class genin. It was D rank mission as this dangerous beast is tamed.

Afterwards started the gruesome massacre of D -rank missions. To take the C rank mission earlier I completed D rank missions like crazy.

However, it was only one of the reasons, the main reason is that system rewards me with talent points for the missions. How could I not farm talent points, although low they are still a lot if he accumulates them.

In other people's eyes, I am a hard-working ninja but I would've not been able to do boring D rank missions if not for the motivation of rewards from the mission.
