Team 3

Renji was sitting in his backyard, meditating with the crossed legs

[Ding]

[Decreases the cost of active techniques by 5%]

[Increases Chakra Capacity by 10%]

'Hmm, a passive technique is indeed hard to level up. I trained hard for 3 years yet I only Level up Till 20, At level 100 it would decrease the cost of all techniques by 25%. That's actually pretty good for a passive. I bet I could stack that as well.'

Humming contentedly at the results, 'I should be able to level up meditation as well'

Once more he concentrates, inwards sinking deep into his mind. Each breath more relaxed than the last, searching for something to give guidance. Once more he was rewarded by a ding.

[Ding]

'Finally'

[Meditation (Passive/Active) LVL 2 – Warning cannot use in battle. To know oneself body and mind. Meditation has been used for centuries to center oneself and for relaxation now you have started on the same path as though before you.]

[Active Effect: Increases Chakra Regeneration by 180/min]

[Level 5 Bonus: Sage Mode (Requires Contract beast)]

'This is excellent! I finally Level it up, this meditation is really hard to level up gosh!!'

"NII SAAN"

He smiled for Kushina was going to bring her best friend or to say her only friend today, he truly felt bad for his surrogate sister of his, for the bullying she had to endure was really getting worse and worse, If this was Uzushio, she would be the most popular girl in the school, but now...

He shook his head and get ready to greet and welcome his visitor

"Welcome, my lady...To our Humbleeeeee....

"..."

"..."

"..."

*caw*caw

Mikoto smiled, "Hello Uzumaki Renji, I heard a lot about you from Kushi" I finally found you and your identity pervert

"Uh...

"Nii saan...Is there anything?"

"N-Nothing"

"I am sure, your big brother is just excited to meet his adorable sister's friend, Isn't that right? Renji"

"Uh..Y-Yes...Please welcome, and talk about whatever you want...I-I Think I need to re-evaluate my life"

???

Renji looked up to see, Mikoto, but quickly down his head, he is afraid of this pervy System to give another mission.

He does not wish to die, not like this anyway.

But the rewards, are indeed hard to die for...tough to choose, not to mention he is a boy himself with lots of hormones building up inside of him...of course, he feels erotic whenever he does some perverted work...

-------

The day goes well, and to top it off, Everyone enjoyed it as well...Even Mikoto's eyes softened to Renji...Well, at least for a few moments, before...

Renji groped her chest and ran off

Mikoto sat around the Dining table and stared angrily at Renji whenever Kushina wasn't looking...

Renji, on the other hand, kept his head down...his head was totally red

Kushina although young but in this much sexual tension, even she felt, uncomfortable...and to top it off, she didn't know why is the feeling, this sense of being a third wheel coming from.

-------

(On the practice ground, Next Day)

"Alright, we will practice, water manipulation, a bit, before taking our academy team", said Sakumo

"Academy Team?"

"Sigh...Yea, Apparently General Kagami has personally asked...ordered me to take a Jonin 4 man team...OH FOR GODS SAKE WHY DON'T SOMEONE INFILTRATE SOMEWHERE FOR US TO LEAVE"

Renji chuckled, "Sensei, what's so wrong about this Academy 4 man team, it's just 1 year, and they will be chunin in no time, not to mention you can always fail them"

"Oh, My dear-dear, Renji-Chan, just How naive can you be?"

Grrr..."Can you stop calling me, that? Not to mention, what do you mean?"

"Our two team members are of such influence that we can't possibly con them If I wanna live in the village that is"

"What are you saying, old man?"

"It's General Kagami daughter and Hyuga head's son, and the future head of Hyuga's...Sigh...

Renji was staring ahead at his sensei, all the while there was a silence in there, the atmosphere in here it's something like someone died.

Sakumo was just in depression while Renji right eye was twitching as they kept staring at...nothing in particular...

"how can we be so unlucky"...asked Renji without a single form of emotion

"Don't ask kid, I am asking the same question as you, how can we be so unlucky".....said Sakumo while in depression

"Can we run away? using the excuse of some urgent mission or something like that"

"Not a chance kid, I am very much assured that Hokage-Sama will never allow it"

"So we have no choice but to have these two in our team?".....asked Renji sighing

"yes, and you know what the worst part is? they both are so good, that I am very much assured that they will pass the genin test set up by us".....said Sakumo sighing

"we are screwed right, I think it's Hokage-Sama's revenge on me for attacking him during Kushina's jinchiruki advancement"

"you know what; in normal time i would never have agreed to it, but now even i beginning to feel like it"

-------

While both of them are in shock there is another person watching them from his office using his crystal ball laughing his ass out

"Hahaha, to think they will reach this type of conclusion"

"Hokage-sama, don't you think its something over the line I mean these two clans were never together"....said an Anbu who was kneeling in front of Hokage

He is also the one who gave the list of the student team to sakumo, which he thought was weird after all Hokage always did it himself, but he didn't question his lord orders till he found out why is he the one to deliver the list

As soon as he delivered it he Body-Flickered from there, not daring to be there to face the Sakumo wraith

"Don't worry if I am not certain of Sakumo's abilities to lead, and his brat underlying ability to be a great leader and great potential for fighting, I would never have done it, if someone who could change it all is these two, also don't tell me you don't think if these four work together Konoha forces will be receiving an incredible team"

"Indeed Hokage sama all three of the kids including Sakumo are forces to be reckoned with and something incredibly useful for Konoha but I don-"

"Believe me, I know what I am doing"

"yes Lord Hokage"

"LORD HOKAGE EMERGENCY", a Jonin's voice reached faster than his body in Hokage's office

"Calm Down, Tell me, what happened"

"It's Lady Tsunade, She created the antidote, we have the antidote of Suna's poison"

"WHO IS THE HIGHEST RANK SHINOBI INSIDE THE VILLAGE RIGHT NOW?"

"it's Jonin Commander Hatake Sakumo Sir"

"SUMMON HIM QUICKLY"

"YES LORD HOKAGE"

-------

As soon as, Sakumo and Renji decided, it's time to get on to the train and swallow the bitter pill, something incredibly unexpected happened.

"Hatake Sakumo; Uzumaki Renji, both of you are to being summoned by lord Hokage right at this very moment"

Sakumo and Renji looked at each other knowing, this is heavenly karma, they have been saved by the god's themselves, though both didn't show it on their faces.

After all, what kind of a psychopath would be happy for the enemy to attack their hometown, not to mention in a time of war?

-------

"Lord Hokage"...said two of them in a very serious tone as they kneeled down

"This is the information passed down by an ANBU squad, read the scroll", Hokage threw the scroll to Sakumo who began to read it

"Lord Hokage this-" Shocked Sakumo passed down the scroll to Renji

"yes, Suna's third Kazekage just disappeared overnight, due to that, their council sent countless Suna shinobis in a desperate search for him all around, with few fights around, and this made the extremely fragile peace broken down"

Renji: "Lord Hokage something fishy is going in here, how the hell did someone as powerful as Lord third kazekage disappeared overnight? that's practically impossible...till it is done by someone he trusted with his back on the line...not to mention the disappearance of Lord third Kazekage made Suna's abilities to defend infinitely weaken, but rather than strengthening their village defenses suna council is making the war? I mean who the hell is their leader"

"I know and get what you mean Renji, but to tell you the truth I get the feeling that the death of the Kazekage is just the sort of excuse Lady Chiyo needed to start a war, She will probably use the war to finally get revenge on the Bane of the Sand, Sakumo Hatake. She has been hating you for years now, besides this is an extremely efficient move as she not only created another war she did it in such a fashion that everyone is included in it, now our village is defending on two fronts with third and fourth side as a potential danger zone, so there is practically no way we can stop suna full force attack on us not to mention iwa is on us with full force as well...at the same time we have to deal with Kiri as the third Zone, and Kumo as the fourth Zone"

Sakumo: "Sigh, that old lady should understand her child was a shinobi we live and die on battlefield besides her son died honorably and as a shinobi, she should be proud on him rather than doing this"

"I don't believe it's her doing Sakumo; no matter how much she hates you, as much as I know her she definitely did not harm the third kazekage"

Renji: "What about her grandchild, sensei did kill his parents after all"

"We are not certain of that Renji; and even if that's the case, Sasori is lady-Chiyo grandchild and hence his status in Suna is not something we can challenge just like that, with no proof and even if we have the proof, it needs to be a decisive one"

"But the main problem is, even if suna is on our neck we are not able to counteract on their poison which killed most of our shinobis, but today, right before your summon, I heard that Tsunade was able to make the antidote in Iwa's front"

"I Know boys that I am sending you into meat grinder without a single moment of Rest But it's necessary"

"Please Sir, If they want hell, we are giving them hell"

"Very Well, Hatake Sakumo; Uzumaki Renji, here are your Hokage's order"

"YES"...came the twin shout of Renji and sakumo

"Bring down the antidote from Iwa borders to the Suna borders, and join in the fight your commander of this war will be Jiraiya"

"YES"

Sakumo: "Lord Hokage before we go, I have a request"

"Speak"

"My disciple Renji is worthy and capable enough to a jonin, I request lord Hokage to change his rank or based on his rank, it will be extremely difficult for him to give orders in a fight, which will slow me and Jiraiya down eventually"

"I agree, I have monitored his progress for 3 whole years; I must say I am truly shocked, to be able to become someone who can compete with those of jonin ranks in just 3 years you are truly talented individual Renji"

"Alright, from the authority bestowed on me with my tile as the third Hokage, I hereby grant you the rank of jonin, your official documents will be done and reach suna borders when you are in there, congrats on becoming the youngest jonin ever" (Kakashi will break it, even Itachi will)

"Now as for both of your final orders"

"YES"

"You will be traveling as team 3, with your team will be escorting Fugaku since his father wants his son to see what is battlefield"

Renji: "So it's like Escorting a VVIP again? Who's our team this time"

"This time it will be more of a permanent team Renji, you and Sakumo will be the part of Jonin 4 man Team...That I am sure you guys already know about"

"Lord Hokage I apologize, I can not follow this request, two fresh out of academy students will be more of a hindrance than a help, and besides they can't even do C rank let alone A or potential S rank mission"

"You took Renji with you when he was 10"

Sakumo shook his head, "Renji was a disciple, that I chose with my choice, and I know and understand the risk of bringing him to the mission...and most importantly I trust him, to have my back without being a Hindrance"

"Sakumo, I think You misunderstood something...I am not giving you your new assignment...I am giving you an Order as Hokage...You will be a part of Team 3 as a jonin leader of the team...Am I Clear"

"Crystal, Lord Hokage"

"Now go, you two will be meeting your team alongside Fugaku on village main gate"

Suddenly, those two vanish in a Blur...

-------

(On village main gate)

Renji and sakumo came in here only to see three freshly out of the academy students who are influential enough to see the bloody battlefield just first day out of camp (2 of team 3, the third one is fugaku, the VVIP who will be escorted)

Suddenly Renji Stiffened the teenage beauty with black hairs standing there, he harassed her before, though he didn't know she is the daughter of General Kagami Uchiha...if he did, even if he was given 100 chances, he would have not completed the quest.

Now he just hopes, General Kagami doesn't know of him groping his sole daughter.

Mikoto widened a demon smile, this is going to be fun, she will torment him for every sexual harassment that he did.

Sakumo: "Listen up kids we are on an extremely tight schedule, so we will let go of the introduction and genin team test...welcome you two kids are part of the team 3 from now on, I am your leader jonin Commander Sakumo Hatake, this kid here is your second in command... Jonin Renji Uzumaki, we know all of your names so we don't wanna know, there is only one rule before I truly take you as my students"

"Follow the orders given by your team leader and second in command at all cost, today's mission is escorting your comrade Fugaku Uchiha...alongside running from Iwa front to Suna front with all our might, from north to south, this will improve your stamina and we might get attack along the way, so make sure you are stick together with each other; Renji and I are more than enough to take care of you three, Fugaku you are to be escorted to Suna front, but we need to go Iwa front first and it will be beneficial for your training as well"

Suddenly a hand rose

"Yes, Hyuuga Hiashi"

"He is our age, why is he second in command? Wouldn't I be the better choice, given I am the future head of Hyuuga"

Mikoto Uchiha: "Hmm, you wish to be second in command...Dream on Hyuuga...do you even begin to qualify for it, I who is being Trained by my father ANBU General Kagami Uchiha am a better fit for the title."

Renji: "I believe there should be one more rule...fight with the enemy, do not fight with each other, when we are on borders...we don't know what to expect, so put your egos to the side"

"Very well said Renji, now, I will repeat what Renji said, in a much more sensible way, so that you will get what he said"

*Cough*Cough..."Listen Well Okay"!!!

"MY TEAM, MY RULES, YOU HAVE THE PROBLEM GO WHINE TO YOUR DADDY!!! OR SUCK UP TO US" said sakumo releasing a good amount of killing intent to shut them both up

-------

With everything settled they ran, towards IWA border...

During the trip, Mikoto, Hiashi, and Fugaku kept looking at Renji...

They all are influential people's children after all, of course, they trained since very young...

All three were considered the elites and the geniuses of their age as well...and all of them were of the same age as well.

So why...Why is it that the Blue hair boy is easily beating them so hard in speed and stamina...

None of the 3's Pride could handle it, Sakumo Sensei was one thing, but Uzumaki Renji beating them was not acceptable by any norms.

During half-way run, towards Iwa, the three fresh out of Academy Students...took 4 breaks in between...Renji and Sakumo kept patrolling during their rest...They didn't take a single moment of Rest till now...

Though none understood, Sakumo Was a Jonin Commander, of course, his speed and stamina surpassed that of Genin

And Renji, after returning Mikoto her bra, that system apparently stole...god only knows how... allowed him to, learn Movement arts, he has been investing points into DEX as well, he is as fast as they come, and his stamina, well, during this time, he has been running a lot...Thus, Improving his Vitality along the way.

He kept stealing Glances at Mikoto...For he feared that the strange system will give him another mission...

Suddenly

[Ding!!]

"Oh no, Come on"

[Mission Generated/ Can Not be abandon]

[Survive]

!!!

*He looked here and there and found no one, he cursed, Too bad he is only a pseudo sensor, for he can only sense people's chakra, whenever it rains

And to top it off, he can't tell everyone here as well, What would he tell them anyway, that the almighty system, given to him by the gods, has warned him about the future.

And they reached Iwa borders, with Renji being sure that they will get an attack, a devastating attack that all of them would need to survive...
