Chapter 14.

We returned to the room as Yamato introduced everyone.

" You have already known our code names now let me truly introduce everyone."

" This cat masked person is Yugao Uzuki." I nodded while checking her out earlier there was no way to determine she is female but at the moment since she removed mask after Yamato introduced I can see she is very beautiful and should be around 12-13 years old now.

" This guy who often coughs is Gekko Hayate." I nodded at him. This guy although sick is still quite handsome but older then Yugao by 3-4 years.

" Let me tell you a secret Yugao and Hayate are close. So don't let your thoughts wander." He slowly whispered beside me and continued to introduce. In return I just rolled my eyes at him.

" The one with Crow mask is Uchiha Shisui. He is very quick. You can ask for some tips from him as I see that you are majoring as speed type ninja." I nodded and asked him to help with my training. He nodded and smiled at me.

" Weasel masked guy is the Uchiha clans famous genius Uchiha Itachi. You should have heard about him and he is only 1 year older then you. You can compare to check on each other as well train to see your progress." I nodded while fighting intent reflected through my eyes. In return he also nodded while looking curiously at me.

" You already know Kakashi so I won't introduce him. And at last me the Greatest Ninja of all time after Kakashi Tenzo." Posing with a proud smile he said. Everyone just laughed at his antiques while Kakashi sighed at the side. I nodded at them and introduced myself again.

As I was introducing curious Yamato Interjected and asked.

" What is the meaning of your code name Theo."

" Well just heard It in an old Kid stories. It is a name of the Knight who protects his country by protecting the king. Gaining prestige all over the kingdom. Its just a childhood wish and fantasy of mine nothing much." While everyone appreciated and nodded. I couldn't say that Theos which means God derived from the Ancient Greek word Theos. Which in this life is my only Goal is to reach that level. So this Name is not just a name my ambition and a reminder. That whenever someone calls me by this name It will remind me of my ambition motivating me further towards the goal.

....

A week passed during which they trained me as their were no new assignments from Hokage. Team Ro is a special Anbu which responds to the call of only Hokage-same. Only the tasks assigned by Hokage-sama is performed rest of the time they are free to train. But they can't take any outgoing missions since this will delay the team whenever there is an urgent task. They took me through the basics letting me know the basic rules and the power structure of the Village. There are many things that wasn't shown in the canon. These things can only be known when you enter the higher circle. Even the high level are not allowed to divulge this information to the outside including their family.

Except for this I also fought with others In which Kakashi kicked my ass easily. At the time of exam he was only passively defending and he only used half of his strength only at the last attack did he use full strength to dodge or else there would have been accident.

Hayate and Yugao helped me with my kenjutsu as I quickly improved since it wasn't some secret jutsu but just some minor details that are very important if you want to go further in Kenjutsu way.

With Shisui there was no mock battles but only teaching. This guy is hidden I don't know his bottom so its better to learn from him. He taught me some techniques on how to isolate the presence when using body flicker. Except for the core part of his technique he taught me everything I'm still midway through this technique. In accordance with the data shown by A.I I will require another week to complete this technique but still not at Shisui level.

Itachi and mostly have fight each other he defeated me 2 time but the last time it was a tie the match was very hard but still it gave me many new ideas. But still this is not the full level of Itachi since he has only opened 2 tomoe of his Sharingan. There will be quick upgrades in the future when he opens 3 tomoe and the cheat of Mangekyo Sharingan. Ah such envy. Sigh!.

Except for training I got to understand one very very important thing which affected my plans slightly. At first I thought if I filled A.I database with all Ninjutsu it will help me in future battles. But only after fighting These guys did I know that ninjas truly fight they won't let you know what they are doing next. They attack from the dark. Even the hand signs are done silently. Canon is only for kids it doesn't tell much how can ninjas fighting in dark announce before attacking. This also led me to believe that when Yuhi sensei fights us he only uses minimal strength that is needed to suppress us. This makes my A.I totally auxilary which can only check body strength, to develop new Jutsu and some other things.

...

Today Hokage-sama summoned Kakashi. Entering the office without any unnecessary word threw him a scroll. Opening and reading the contents. He closed his eyes to memorize after which he nodded and promised Hokage to fulfil the mission.

Just as he turned to head out Hokage-sama stopped and said.

" Take Tim with you. Let him get some experience."

Kakashi hesitated and asked.

" Isn't it dangerous as his first task."

Hokage replied. " According to your report this kid has many tricks and with you there I don't think there will any danger. Oh try to take less number of people."

Returning back Kakashi summoned me to the training room. Since after the first time I hadn't came back hear just come straight to the ground or go back to the Anbu library section to Fill up A.I database.

Entering the room I saw only Itachi and Kakashi standing there. They looked at me and Kakashi said.

" Go and pack your things meet us at the gate in 30 minutes. Pack for a week refill although this task shouldn't take this much time but you still take this much supply."

I nodded and didn't ask much just replied. " Okay."

Heading back I entered a building with a cheap style just like the one Naruto lives in the canon. After becoming Chunin I left the orphanage since Chunin come in contact with many dangerous tasks and they will be called at any time. Its better to not disturb the atmosphere of the orphanage so I decided to move. And since the style of Building is cheap the rent is also cheap. And I don't have much belongings only 1 bag so a Hall + kitchen is good enough for me.

Entering the house I just took few underwear, Weapons, and some basic necessities such as biscuits and water bottles, etc. In the wilderness you can hunt for animals and when we enter city you can go to restaurant. It was the weapons that took time since I had to fill them in to the storage scrolls.

I arrived 5 minutes early and hid in the shadows waiting for them to come. Time passed just at the appointed time someone tapped me from me behind. I shuddered as I rolled aside as i drew my sword entering combat position. Looking clearly its kakashi who stood beside me. I sighed and glared at him while he just eye smiled and ignored my aggrieved look. Just at this we saw Itachi heading here from the shadows.

Greeting each other we dashed out from a hidden passage beside the gate. Moving through the jungle I couldn't hold my curiosity and asked.

" What is the task?"

" We are following a team who is responsible for information exchange just to keep an eye and see that other side doesn't go back on their words." He replied as we continued to move.

" Isn't this task very important. Why did you take a new like me." I asked not quite understanding why.

He glanced at me. " Don't worry you're just here to get experience and see how we do things. Theory are important but only practical lessons lets you see the truth. Even if something goes I will make it right so just tag along." Although he said this but I don't think its the truth just half maybe.

I nodded as we continued until we saw a team with a weird guy wearing Green suit and Bowl cut hairstyle. I opened my mouth in surprise seeing him.
