Even releasing my body from the previous stupor, my prospects were still not very high.

I could consider myself a good Genin, but nothing more than that. The leaf village has a title that no one would like to receive, Eternal Genin, the previous one to have that title was a guy called Maito Duy, probably related to the Maito Guy I saw yesterday.

Thinking about my alternatives for the next few days, my biggest current urgency was housing. My apartment was the same trashy place I got after entering the academy for being an orphan... Cliché I know, orphan, but the universe has played this trick on me so many times that I don't even stress anymore.

My legs carried me to the Hokage.

It's impressive how someone so important can deal with such minimal bureaucracy in a place with thousands of Shinobi.

"I believe I am ready for my first C-rank mission." – I said to the old man, trying to project confidence.

Hiruzen looked at me, reviewed my records and took a deep breath.

"Kai, you have the potential to be a Fuijutsu Master, I don't know if you're ready for a responsibility like this." – said the Hokage despairingly.

My records showed that I had graduated by pure luck and the D-Rank missions I had undertaken were all sleep-deadening. I didn't stand out at anything until then.

"Hokage-sama I believe that a C Rank mission is exactly what I need to get a better view of the world and discover my path once and for all." I replied trying to convince him.

Having to call someone like him by a higher honorific isn't a problem for me, no more than I've learned to accept that I'm not at my peak.

"Okay, since you want it so bad. A delivery mission to the Land of Sound. Although they have their own hidden village, we now still have ancient treaties with them. You will deliver a shipment of equipment, nothing more." said the old man, conforming to my determination.

I gladly accepted the mission and headed directly to the north gate of the village.

The money would be better than a mission or even five Rank D missions and I could finish it in half the time.

One of the things that Shinobis know how to do is run. Without sophisticated transportation, rushing to your missions is the most practical alternative, especially since most missions require secrecy, so going by wagon is not one of the brightest ideas.

The path was smooth, I had plenty of energy to reach the land of sound during the night. But as soon as I crossed the border my senses picked up coordinated movements towards me.

In the distance I could hear them talking.

"Isn't that the kid who became the Uzumaki's apprentice?" – asked the first.

"He's on the elimination list" – said another.

Okay, my soul is powerful enough for me to be the best sensor ninja in the world, but bringing this up in the village would bring up too many questions for my taste.

Seven sound shinobi approached until I had to stop because I was surrounded.

The strongest of them were just two Chunins, I could handle them despite my low stats. No matter how strong you are, brute force only takes you so far, you need to know how to use it and I knew that in spades.

Looking at my records in the Supreme Realm you won't find anything impressive in the last hundred thousand years, but in all this time I have fought tooth and nail to return to the Supreme Realm. Few know about my period of reincarnation, especially because I am absent for only a hundred years on average, something that other cultivators do all the time meditating behind closed doors. But they forget a very important point, I am a dual cultivator, my closed door meditation involves orgies and as I focus on quality and not quantity these orgies do not last a hundred years, the longest one took just over a decade.

"Now what do we have here, what does a Konoha shinobi lost in the Land of Sound do?" – asked the Chunin who had identified me as a target on the elimination list.

I pretended to be apprehensive, I already knew what they wanted.

"Who are you? I am on a mission to deliver a contract signed when the Land of Sound was still the Land of Rice Fields." – I said with a small tremor in my voice.

"You can hand it over to us and consider your mission accomplished." – the other Chunin offered, hoping that I would accept the offer and lower my guard.

I shook my head denying the offer.

"I can only deliver to the recipient, please let me through, I don't want any hassle." I continued acting my scared Genin character.

'Tsk' was all I heard before the seven jumped towards me.

I pretended to fall back and planted both hands on the ground, just in time to propel myself and land a kick to the first Chunin's chin, his brain must have shaken enough because he fell to the ground immediately.

With a turn of my left wrist, I reversed the position of my body and tripped the other Chunin, taking him out of the fight for a few seconds. That was all I needed, pulling my arms hard against the ground I shot towards one of the Genin and with a strong headbutt against the external one I felt the ribs break. Using my arms as whips, I hit the eye sockets of the two flanking him.

Four out of combat and one temporarily.

With that, only two Genins remained who, in horror, were trying to order their bodies to flee. I caught up with them and with two heavy blows I took them both to the ground with no chance of ever getting up again.

With only the Chunin left who had just recovered from the trip, I walked towards him with a smile on my face. I must admit, when you have too much power the fights turn into a pyrotechnic show, I always miss a good exchange of punches in Melee.

"Who are you and why are you using this kid's appearance?" – he shouted in a mix of anger and fear.

My smile widened even more.

"Nobody." – I replied holding back my laughter.

He tried to attack me with a Kunai, but I was faster, avoiding its path and grabbing his face.

Using my soul I searched for information, his mind was protected by a seal, but nothing that I couldn't overcome while I was sleeping.

The Kage of Sound Village is the traitorous Sannin of Konoha. Interesting.
