The First Mission

It had been a week since Akira had left Fukashi and to say it was an eventful week would be understating. Fukashi had been reading the book about the Sharingan with religious fervour.

The book was written by Mikoto Uchiha who was fascinated by the Sharingan. She was born hundreds of years before Madara so he was never mentioned but two users of sharingan that were frequently mentioned piqued his interest.

Her two sons who both awakened the Sharingan, Itachi and Sasuke Uchiha. Her writing was mainly about them and what they used the Sharingan for.

Itachi had the ability to put anyone, including cursed spirits under illusions of his own making. While his brother Sasuke could also do similar things it wasn't nearly as powerful, he apparently preferred the closer approach.

Sasuke took advantage of the perceptive and predictive abilities of the Sharingan. He would predict the opponent's next move before they had even finished their last 5

Itachi also had the cursed technique amaterasu which set fire to anything with flames as hot as the sun. Whereas Sasuke's technique was similar to his own.

Lightning.

They could both manipulate lightning, it doesn't go to specific into what Sasuke did with his cursed technique but it did mention one interesting thing.

Sasuke's mentor who sadly wasn't named had a similar cursed technique that was deadly when paired with a sharingan.

This technique piqued his interest, according to Mikotos account it could cut through anything and enhanced the users speed greatly while in use.

The Chidori.

Nothing else was really mentioned about the technique except one would need the sharingan on to avoid the tunnel vision the technique creates. They would also need to create a ball of lightning in their hand and according to Mikoto it would sound as if 1000 birds were chirping at once.

He would have to reverse engineer the technique. Fukashi grinned as he quickly stood to his feet and made his way to the training grounds.

He came to the sight of Panda and Toge sparring with Maki and someone he didn't recognise on the sidelines.

He quickly made his way over to her, she noticed his loud footsteps and turned her head. She seemed surprised at the small grin on his face and gestured with her hand for him to come over.

"Hey" she said to the person next to her, he was tall and had black spiky hair. "This is Fukashi," she said to the guy with black hair who nodded before speaking.

"I'm Megumi Fushiguro" he said with a bored tone as he met eyes with the Uchiha. Fukashi nodded and turned to the sparring Panda and Inumaki.

Inumaki was quick and quite agile as he danced his way through Pandas fast and strong punches. Fukashi winced slightly as Inumaki was clipped by one of Pandas punches and was sent spinning into the ground.

He didn't have the time to watch them spar though, so he said bye to Maki and Fushiguro and walked off.

Fukashi walked away in thought, he walked further into the grassy training grounds and past some trees until he came into a small clearing.

Before this he had always been able to use lightning sure but never to the extent of the Chidori. At most he could enhance his hits so that his opponent would get a shock but he had never really even thought of going beyond that.

So he started simply, he decided he would have to work his way up to a technique the likes of Chidori. So he built up electricity into his hand. The white lightning was crackling and buzzing in his hand.

This is what happens when he just enhances his hits, he needs to pierce. So he imagined sharpening his cursed energy and heard the crackling turn higher pitch.

He opened his eyes and stared at the lightning circling his hand. There wasn't really a difference, the lightning looked more volatile but that was it.

He concentrated and imagined the lightning becoming sharper and sharpening it again and again. Once it felt sharp enough he opened his eyes and turned, and in that one movement he punched the thick tree directly behind him.

A large bang was all he could hear as bits of wood flew into his face, his eyes widened in shock as his hand hadn't even gone more than 3 inches into the tree.

The Chidori was meant to slice through metal like butter, he did it wrong.

He grunted in frustration before trying again.

That's how Maki found the teenager, in what used to be a nice clearing surrounded by tree bark and lightning sparking around his fist.

"Hey!" She shouted from the other side of the clearing. He turned quickly, the lightning disappeared quickly. "Principal Yaga says we got a mission," she said to Fukashi.

His eyes lit up, this will be his first mission. Quickly he bounded over to the green haired girl and started to make his way back.

She rolled her eyes as they both made their way back to the school. "So your cursed technique is lightning?" She asked the excited Uchiha.

He nodded in response "Yep, I'm trying to get it to pierce" he turned to face her and started to walk backwards. "Got any ideas?"

Sge thought for a moment before responding "Doesn't lightning already pierce?" Well she wasn't an expert or anything but lightning piercing makes sense.

He sighed "I thought so too, but I don't just create lightning bolts, I mean…" he sighed again "I don't know" he turned back around and started walking the normal way.

Maki decided to change the subject "How's the book?" She asked, she wondered if he would have even found it under his futon.

His eyes widened and his body tensed. "You know about the book?" He asked, if anyone knew about that he could get into some trouble surely! There was a reason he wasn't allowed it in the first place.

Maki looked at the boy like he was stupid "Are you stupid?" She asked just to be sure. In response he activated his Sharingan and narrowed his eyes into slits.

She half jokingly and half seriously put her hands up in a mocking surrender before speaking with a nervous tone "I gave you that book idiot" she almost sighed in relief as the red eyes turned back into black.

His previously scary presence turned back into a stupid one, the look on his face spoke it all. "You gave me the book?" He asked.

"What, you thought the book was just there for no reason?" She asked incredulously.

When there was no response her eyes widened slighlty "You.." she had to cough to try and hide her snickers "You thought, that-that it was just left there?"

She couldn't hold back the laughter anymore when she saw the way he looked away and crossed his arms like a child.

The last Uchiha and second years made their way to a large dark factory, they were made aware of a second grade cursed spirit lurking around it.

A car speed off behind them the driver was Ijichi, a driver from Jujutsu Kaisen tech.

The mission was simple: exorcise the spirit.

It was a simple mission according to Maki, she said this was just a tester for him. To observe his combat prowess.

They made their way to the creaky factory, it was dark. Unnaturally so. He felt the hairs on the back of his rise and he stared at the rusted metal stairs, they were only a couple metres ahead of him and he couldn't even see the third step.

Quickly a fast searing ball of energy was sent past him and straight into Maki, she was sent flying through the closed metal doors behinds them with a loud crash.

Fukashi activated his Sharingan with practised ease, he quickly kicked Inumaki to the right so he was just missed by another blast of dark searing cursed energy.

Panda shouted over the large creaks of metal and smashing of glass "Everyone outside!" Fukashi followed the order quickly.

He simply dropped backwards out of the still wide open doors, thanks to Makis impromptu exit. He saw Inumaki and Panda both jump out after him.

He turned to see Maki just making her way to her feet. Her uniform was burnt, he could see her stomach, the skin was blackened and steaming.

He noticed her grimace as she stepped forward beside him. "You good?" He asked, she simply nodded in reply and pulled a large red spear out of somewhere?

He quickly noticed the darkness of the factory had seemingly followed them out of the factory. His teammates could barely see 5 meters in front of them, Fukashi however could see the faint outline of something in front of them.

It was humanoid but that's all he noticed as before he could think a blast of the searing dark energy hit him from behind.

He was sent flying forward and rolled across the concrete ground.

"Fukashi move!" Was shouted from behind him and before he could react he heard another voice.

"Fly" Fukashis body was sent flying almost 20 metres high, when he reached the peak he saw the shining night sky.

While he was in the air he heard another large explosion and felt small rocks fly past him at extreme speeds.

Panda caught him before he hit the floor. "What was that" Fukashi asked, Panda only pointed towards the panting Inumaki who nodded.

Fukashi looked back to the spot he was previously laid on and only saw a burning crater! Whatever Inumaki did saved him from that.

He gulped slightly before turning to Panda "This is what all second grades are?" He asked nervously.

Maki responded quickly "No" she took another look around "This is definitely a first grade!" She exclaimed as she moved to dodge another blast of dark cursed energy.

Fukashi was relieved by that but still worried, he got back to his feet. His black uniform was torn at the back and was already scraped up. He was constantly looking around in circles, he wouldn't be taken by surprise again.

He weaved multiple of the blasts of energy that came flying towards him with ease, he was looking for that figure he saw earlier in the fight.

He heard Panda and Maki speaking behind him but he blocked them out as he concentrated on his visual prowess. He did however notice Inumaki speak "Clear!" He shouted and the darkness surrounding them suddenly disappeared revealing the form of the cursed spirit.

It was grey and humanoid, it had no eyes or ears it's teeth were sharp and rotten as it clapped its large hands. It was skinny with a tail instead of legs and was floating eerily.

The clapping from the creature was quick and delighted and before they could get more information the darkness suddenly surrounded them once again.
