Chapter 41

I ditched the thought of me changing for later. I had work to do and an enemies to kill.

The explosion threw me away from the center and that's exactly what I wanted. I think the enemy didn't have complete information about my abilities.

When I moved in a direction, I understood why there was no help even though we made this much noise.

I was surrounded by a water dome and trapped inside. I had yet to find anyone outside the dome, but that was easy, now that I know what to do.

Swimming would be a foolish task in my current situation, where my body was almost destroyed by the explosions.

My chakra fell to 20% and I went back to the surface and stood on water. This was the only good move in the situation, as when I used my explosive tags, it created a hole in the water and the water around it was gushing in its direction.

So, I would have been pulled into that hole and drowned to death. It wasn't any better on the surface, but I could manage.

The explosion seemed to have covered my location, as I didn't get attacked. I used this chance to throw a lightningbolt in the sky.

It managed to reach the roof of the dome. I had used almost all of my chakra in that move and didn't have more to stand on water.

As I was falling down, I mustered up as much chakra I could, to use the most basic fire release, where we make a small fire on our fingertips.

The fire I got was less than even a matchstick, but it did the job. The lightningbolt I threw at the dome, produced huge amounts of H2 gas and I managed to ignite it before sinking deep into the sea.

There was a huge explosion and it sent even my enemies flying, at least that's what I hoped after taking such a big risk.

My consciousness was slowly fading and I was sinking deep into the sea. I hated it. I was going to die without even living 20 years.

"It was all because I didn't want the people I care about become traitors of the country. What bullshit is this?

I craved for power ever since I came to this world, and even after 10 years I couldn't achieve anything. I only cared about medical knowledge that I am weak now.

This isn't like me. If my past self saw me like this, he would die of laughter, or kill himself. But whoever it is, they taught me an important lesson today.

So, if by mistake, I am given another chance to live here or reincarnate somewhere else, I will not slack off.

*sigh* Well, I guess ruling this world isn't easy. I needed to be more determined if I was planning to do so." I kept talking to myself as my consciousness faded.

I was waiting, to either meet the God of hell, or reincarnate somewhere else. I wasn't expecting to return with the Edo tensei, as I achieved nothing to deserve it.

I didn't know how much time passed, but I felt something. Something press down on me.

I was slowly starting to get my senses back and I could feel that something on my lips. I got my vision back, as I slowly opened my eyes.

I saw something which I didn't want to stop. Yugito was giving me a CPR. She blew air into my mouth while pressing my stomach, constantly switching between both.

I scolded myself "Just a few moments ago, I told myself as to how I would learn from my mistakes and shit, but here I am, enjoying the moment I get to feel a woman's lips on mine."

Although I wanted to enjoy the moment more, Yugito had monstrous strength and was pressing my stomach with monstrous strength.

I coughed out the water inside my body and woke up. Yugito looked at me with a happy face, with teary eyes.

She hugged me and said "Sorry, this is all my fault. I brought you into this mission without thinking properly. I put you in danger."

I just patted her back and said "No, it is me who should be sorry. It isn't your fault. I accepted this mission knowing the risks involved. I just overestimated myself. It is my fault for being weak and trying to act brave."

Yugito just tightened her hold and stayed like that. She felt that I was just trying to comfort her, but everything I said was true.

I overestimated myself and decided to join her on a S-rank mission. I wasted 9 years doing nothing but research on dna, eyes and the super soldier serum.

What was the use of powerful eyes if the user itself is weak. They would only be a gift to my enemies and I would be just delivering it to them.

This mission is an eye opener. I finally realized what kind of world I was living in. I decided to train like Saitama after returning to the village, but first I had to survive Yugito's bear hug.

I repeatedly patted her back and said "I appreciate you saving me, but I feel like you might end up really killing me."

I could breathe only after she let go of me. Only then did I notice our surroundings and I looked around.

I asked her "Where are we?"

She replied "This is the ship where we were supposed to meet the spy. It looks like he couldn't make it.

He hid the secret scroll on this ship. We have to find it. We were actually lucky. I found this ship without wasting too much time. It was troublesome to find the ship alone while carrying you.

I asked "What do you mean alone? What happened to the other two Jonin ninjas?"

Yugito's face turned into a face filled with rage. She said "Those pigs were the ones that attacked you."

Now that was unbelievable. I couldn't believe that they choose a life of rogue ninja instead of the good life of a jonin.

Since jonin are the true military power of a village, they are given high importance and respect. But they choose to kill me since I was close to Yugito and couldn't touch me.

Well, this was just my opinion, but that was the only explanation my brain could think of.

I still wanted to confirm first, so I asked her "How do you know that they were the ones who attacked me?"

She then started explaining....

Note :- Now, I heard some of you say that I nerfed him in the previous chapter and it makes sense you think so, but he isn't a MC with OP powers.

Now, the powers he had till then were the basic jutsu, lighting release, earth release and fire release.

He was in no position to use any as he had no target to aim at. He couldn't randomly throw jutsu at every direction to test his luck.

He is still 14 and doesn't have that much chakra. To run on water for half a day, it requires a continuous supply of chakra, that's why he didn't have that much chakra to spend.

As for why he was having hard time with kunai and shuriken is because, even if he knew that they were coming, he isn't a Hyuga to use gentle fist to defend like Neji.

The body flicker jutsu is also equally useless as he couldn't approach an enemy without knowing who it is. His enemy could be waiting for him to fight him in close combat.

So, I wrote this after taking everything into consideration. If there are any mistakes, you can point them out and I will look out for them in the upcoming fights.
