"...Tobi-kun, Hinata and Shino do not know water walking yet..."
'Right...totally forgot about that...'
We followed Pakkun to the initial scene of confrontation where Kakashi-san summoned Pakkun and from there we followed the scent left behind by team 7 to a large water body…
"What then Sensei?"
She seemed to be thinking hard for some time as I exchanged glances with Hinata and probably Shino, 'with his black tinted glasses you never know if he knew what I meant...'
As we waited a man seemed to be rowing back towards the shore… Seeing him Pakkun spoke up, "That one has the scent of Kakashi and his ninken on his boat and on him..."
Kurenai sensei nodded and ran on the water towards the fisherman…
"By the way Hinata-chan, aren't you guys done with tree climbing yet?"
"I am almost 4/5th of the way up...Kurenai Sensei says that I have almost got the hang of it and just need a little more practice..."
I turned towards Shino with an expectant eyebrow and he nodded… '*sigh* the things I do to fill the awkward silence in the team...'
"Let's go, team!!" Kurenai sensei seemed to have persuaded the fisherman to let us take the same route that Kakashi-san and his team took so we sat on the boat and drifted away…
'Okay, this is way too slow...' I look at my stored SP… 'maybe it's time to buy another bloodline...I have been holding myself back because I needed to buy medical skills constantly to progress but now that I have access to the hospital, I can grind proficiency very easily...what I need now is a bloodline that no one will suspect...'
I browse through the list and canceled out various doujutsu's and Nature transformation-related bloodlines and looked at chakra and body-related Kekkei Genkai's…
'...hmm Senju's strong chakra and vitality could be useful...Kurama clan's strong Genjutsu affinity, Kurenai-sensei might kill me if she saw me moving on from this one...huh! Uzumaki???'
'...What the hell Naruto had a clan? And a bloodline...Strong body, strong chakra, great vitality...and an awesome bloodline at that...why is he an orphan then, there is surely a story there...Hmm, what is this...'
Next to Uzumaki bloodline, there was an arrow, and when I concentrated on that it expanded to show 3 more bloodlines…
'Can you explain, Zoey'
[The Uzumaki are almost an extinct clan now but they were very prominent till the 3rd Ninja war. The Uzumaki's were Senju's distant cousins and great vitality, regeneration, and chakra. Alongside that, there were some bloodline traits that some members were able to exhibit...they were the adamantium chain, Mind's eye of the Kagura, and Healing chakra. You can choose one of the bloodline traits if you choose the Uzumaki Bloodline...]
'I guess I'll take this...along with a chakra and health modifier increase I can select the sensory skill and finally won't have to rely on my magnet release to detect shinobi's sneaking up on me...'
I selected the Uzumaki bloodline and the Mind's eye of the Kagura, my perception shifted as I could feel something different around the world. I closed my eyes and by focusing a little I could see and feel chakra over a vast distance.
'I think my range is about 500m around me...It's amazing though the world around is so different...wait is that...'
'5 chakra signatures...wow who is that...those are some massive reserves...'
"Kurenai-Sensei, about 500m north there are two Jounin level chakras...and they seem to be standing...no wait, one of them has trapped the other and there is...One Kage-level shinobi standing guard with one chunin and one genin around a civilian...and there is a Chunin level shinobi watching from a distance..."
"..."
"..."
"How far is your sensory range Tobi-kun?"
"Around 500m if I actively use it and 50m passive..."
"...we need to talk about it when we have time, Genshi-san can you hurry..."
The old man on the boat nodded as he hurriedly paddled away and we quickly reached the shoreline. As soon as we are close to the shore we quickly jump off the boat and dash toward team 7 in an arrow formation. I was in the front actively scanning everything around me with the Mind's Eye of the Kagura while Hinata had Byakugan on and was running on the right flank. Shino's insects were already buzzing and flying out towards seeming random directions and most probably closing on to the target point. And Kurenai-sensei was bringing up the rear to handle any surprise attack and to easily cast a genjutsu while the opponent's eyes were focused on us…
It took us half a minute to break into the clearing where Naruto and Sasuke were teaming up and successfully broke Kakashi-san out of his prison…I identified the client and stood in front of him while analyzing the hidden shinobi in the trees…
'His chakra feels off...it has a cold feel to it...'
"Having trouble Kakashi?"
Kurenai sensei landed beside Kakashi-san and nodded while I surveyed everyone's body for injuries… 'Damn that eye is draining his chakra pretty fast...' Everyone else seemed fine and even Naruto seemed to be healing pretty fast from the battering he had taken… 'yeah just as mentioned by the system, he is regenerating pretty fast...Uzumaki huh! Guess I need to thank his clan for my Sensory trait...'
I cast an Inspect on the opponent and the only information I got in return was not healthy for my mental state…

'Okay...that's more reasonable, I can handle him as at least my stats are better than him because of the countless amount of D-Rank missions...'
"Where is the other one Tobi-kun?"
"...50m at 2 O'clock...I can handle him Kurenai-Sensei..."
An alarmed expression came up on Zabuza's face as I pinpointed the location of his accomplice…
Kurenai-sensei paused before nodding and said, "Go! But don't go far I'll be watching over you..."
I nod and dashed towards the Rouge nin who dodged back into the shrubs in an attempt to create some distance between us and the Jounin's…
