Chapter 10 Main Task

Sand Stronghold.

In the camp,

Thud!

With an exhausted face Tsunade slumped on the chair next to the operating table, her back soaked with sweat.

But despite being tired her face had a relieved look as on the operating table lay Nawaki with bandages all over his body still passed out but his breathing stable unlike earlier.

Swish!

Dan, Jiraiya and Orochimaru rushed inside and immediately their eyes traced Nawaki.

"Thankfully we were able to save him and he can probably wake up any moment. He deserves to be Princess Tsunade's younger brother, such amazing vitality and recovering speed"

"Haa!"

The other surgeons in the camp seeing the three entering the camp immediately told the good news, Orochimaru letting out a huge relieved breath.

"Good Job Tsunade"

Jiraiya smiled at the good news and Dan praised Tsunade for her skills.

"Now would you explain what happened?"

Tsunade who was sat exhausted on the chair finally seemed to have recovered enough and inquired about the reason behind Nawaki's condition.

"Maybe I have spoiled him too much. He needs to be roughed up a little"

Orochimaru once again recounted the incident and Tsunade hearing about the reckless behavior of Nawaki, concluded it was not entirely Orochimaru's fault.

Unlike her who at a young age was guided by the likes of Hashirama, Tobirama, Mito and Sarutobi, her young brother always had it too easy.

Her love and soft attitude towards Nawaki seems to have harmed him, in this world full of wars being naïve and reckless would make you lose your life eventually.

Crack!

"Let him wake up and rest a little to recover, I'll teach him as well whenever I can from now on"

Send Tsunade cracking her knuckles, Nawaki who was unconscious shivering a little though still not waking up.

"I guess soon I'll have someone who shares the same pain as me"

Thought Jiraiya with a gloating look, giving condolences to Nawaki in his heart understanding someone who had only seen the angel side of Tsunade would see her true face; a buddy to talk about the same pain under construction.

"By the way, outside you mentioned someone who supposedly saved Nawaki, Orochimaru-san?"

Dan didn't forget about what Orochimaru said outside and inquired about it, Jiraiya looking towards Orochimaru again, obviously interested.

Tsunade without a doubt was the most interested, it seems her brother didn't survive the explosion through sheer luck.

Feeling the curious gazes casted upon him Orochimaru recalled the kid with silver hair in his head, that extreme display of water style which even he can't do bringing a smile on his face.

"Kazuki Aoyama….

Shaking his head to calm himself, Orochimaru faced the three and started speaking.

-------------------------------------

Unlike the commanders, the rest of the shinobi were all assigned small tents to live and just a while ago an empty tent was occupied by someone.

"Finally the main task is refreshed again!"

On the small bed lay Kazuki donning loose clothes, his silver hair still somewhat wet from a shower.

He had his eyes closed and in his consciousness floated a panel.

Name: Kazuki Aoyama

Age: 11

Template: Senju Tobirama {Progress 30.03%}

Props: Kusanagi {Sasuke's sword}

Ninjutsu: -

Advanced Water Release

Mid Lightning Release

Beginner Wind Release

Beginner Earth Release

Beginner Fire Release

Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu

Daily Task: - {Ninjutsu training till chakra exhaustion five times a day (0.03% Template Progress}

Main Task: - {Defeat a Kage before being ranked jonin/20% progress reward}

"It's going to take some time to finish this task, I'll struggle against an elite jonin now let alone a kage whose so much stronger than that!"

"Also I have to reject the possible promotion to jonin in the future, I can't let 20% progress go away like this"

Thought Kazuki, 20% progress means nearly two years of doing daily tasks so he didn't care about the title of jonin as before strength title meant nothing.

But he knew this main task was a lot tougher than before, right know his estimated strength is close to an elite jonin.

But Kage is a lot stronger, the kage in system evaluation is not the future Raikage like Darui or Sixth Mizukage Chojuro, they all had the strength of an elite jonin but were just promoted as no one else was there to succeed aside from them.

The True Kage according to system evaluation are those possessing strength like Third Hokage Sarutobi, Third Tsuchikage Onoki, Third Raikage A, Second Mizukage Gengetsu, Second Tsuchikage Mu.

All of them clearly can take down several elite jonin and even that with not too much trouble, so to achieve that he at least needed the template extraction to reach 70%.

Was Second Hokage weaker than Third Raikage or the rest? No, he may not be at the level of Hashirama and Madara but compared to rest he was in a league of his own.

Kinkaku and Ginkaku both possessed the chakra of nine tails, four sage of six paths tools and a whole squad of other Jonin with them yet he was able to kill one and seriously injure the other brother to the point where he was easily hunted down afterwards.

And the jonin squad having several elite jonin in them were all taken down by him as well, no doubt after Hashirama and Madara, Tobirama was clearly the strongest shinobi.

{P.S: This doesn't include Naruto and future shinobi of course}

So according to Kazuki's estimate 70% progress would be enough but according to his template progression speed it will take at least 4 years to reach that level.
