[Complications!]
"I am sorry if I may seem a little rude Danzo-san, but I have not heard of any elder named Danzo..." I still had wind chakra flowing through my sword while I was scouting out what everyone's power level was…
'...that's... '
"I believe you may not know about my involvement with the hidden leaf… you see while Hidden leaf takes upon many missions ranging from D-rank to S-rank, it also rejects a lot of missions with… questionable contents, let's say… I have a different black-ops under my command that do those missions that are although questionable in nature but are for the good of the village… we are the root upon which Konoha stands..."
'No matter how much you preach that idea looking at the state of emotions, or lack of thereof, makes it hard for me to believe… even Itachi 'fucking' Uchiha had some emotions while the shinobi's behind you are almost complete blanks...'
"I understand you take pride in your work Danzo-san, and if I am understanding right, Konoha does owe you a debt of gratitude… what I am failing to understand is all these shinobi's under you… for a lack of a better term, do not exist… they are ghosts, so what am I supposed to do for you..."
He seemed pleased at my acknowledgment so I cut the flow of wind release chakra flowing through my sword and turn to him with a questioning look…
"I have never seen talent like you before Tobi-kun… you came from a civilian background, and although you have a bloodline there is so much more you learned through your own effort… I see those civilians preaching about the Uchiha but you are a true shinobi… a prodigy that hides his real skill level until necessary..."
'What is he on about...' I sense he started to channel chakra into his eyes... 'what is he planning...'
[You have been subjected to genjutsu Katoamatsukami]
'...what'
The world around me twisted as I found myself standing alone in the clearing…
'Danzo-san was pretty nice… it seems good that someone that higher up is noticing the efforts I have made...'
I went back to the clearing and decided to continue practicing my Dance of the Crescent Moon…
---------------------------X0X----------------------------
I was in the clearing resting after a good workout and some grinding… 'Status...'
'...what's this symbol'
In my Status screen, there was a new symbol with little swirly marks on it… I thought about clicking the symbol and a new window appeared in front of me…
[Under the effects of Katoamatsukami]
[Current orders: Kill Uchiha Sasuke if he deserts the village]
'...'
"Kai!" I send a precise pulse of chakra through my body but the genjutsu symbol stays on my status screen…
'...what is this… Zoey? What's Katoamatsukami… how do I remove it...'
[Katoamatsukami is one if the powers of the Mangekyou Sharingan, it grants the power of completely controlling the experience of the target in order to subtly influence them towards a specific task… Once caught in the genjutsu, there are two ways out. Either when awakening, choose Katoamatsukami as one of your eye prowess or to upgrade your Sharingan to Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.]
'...What bullshit power is this...but I swear I didn't once look into Itachi's eyes so how did he catch me in the genjutsu… and why order me to kill Sasuke if he deserts the village? First, he randomly drops hints of who he is after, and second, he wants me to kill Sasuke if he deserts the village? But why… why not kill Sasuke himself, and why only if he deserts Konoha?'
*sigh*
I lean back against the tree and continue thinking, 'It almost seems like Itachi supports Konoha!'
*Pfft*
I chuckle as I stood up and look back to the explanation of Zoey on how to get rid of the genjutsu's control… 'I need 25 more SP points… maybe it's time to get some missions… I am still a genin right! There might be many construction missions in order to fix the damage to the village...'
I used tree hopping as I make my way back to the village…
---------------------------X0X----------------------------
[D-Rank Mission Completed: Help with the construction of the Academy]
'One more SP...'
*sigh*
I have been doing these meaningless D-rank missions for the last 5 days and I still have 4 SP to collect before I can get out of the genjutsu…
'At least I am getting to work around with a lot of people...' I look at Iruka-sensei as he was in charge of this particular mission…
'The Mutt still smells though… although it was nice seeing him...'
Kiba and his team failed the genin exams so he was included in the reserve crops and his career path changed a little… Although looking at him he doesn't seem to mind.
'The main difference between regular corps and reserve corps is just the capacity to hold onto a major position within the village… The head of the medical department, ANBU commander, ANBU captain… these posts are reserved for the regular corps shinobi's… Kiba anyways doesn't seem like someone that is suitable for a leadership position anyway...'
Taichou's chakra signature appeared within my range and looks like he is heading for me as he appeared before me and said in a gruff voice, "Tobi! Let's go!"
!!!
I wave goodbye to Iruka-sensei and Kiba as I jump back following Taichou…
"What's the emergency Taichou!"
"Suna's delegation's here!"
'huh!'
