Otuka

Arya and Ana were brought to the nursery, where a medical nin stitched their wounds. For the first time since my transmigration, I got to wiitness the highly valuable [Mystical Palm Jutsu], a B-rank jutsu that could heal wounds with yang chakra energy.

However, I did not expect the consequences of beating up a noble like Arya to be so...annoying.

They could have made me do chores, but experience showed that it had no effects. So they decided to send me to this crazy elder Otuka.

Otuka was a jonin that retired in the Kirigakure academy. According to the rumours, he was relative of Byakuren, the first Mizukage, and a very respected figure in Kirigakure. Besides being the founder of the hidden village. Byakuren had managed to get Isobu, the tailed-beasts with three tails, and that for 30% of the price that Sunagakure paid. Besides, he also happened to be one of the strongest water ninjutsu user to have ever existed. The legacy he left behind, in terms of B-rank and A-rank ninjutsu had made Kirigakure a real powerhouse. Besides, most of the current policies implemented in Kirigakure descended from his legacy, one that had proven very efficient over time.

I always felt that Kirigakure was a very strong village, one that was highly underestimated. During the third shinobi war, Isobu had been sealed into Rin, causing the plot to go completely nuts after Obito lost it. If anything, it crippled Kakashi Hatake's talent, a man who had the potential reach kage-level yet stayed an elite jonin for a long time. 

However, Kirigakure should have relied on its own strength rather than plots.

Had it sealed Isobu into one of its elite jonin, they might have gained another S-rank jonin and earned an edge against Konoha and the tides of war would have been changed.

Although I was a mere academy student with genin strength at the moment, I planned to change it all.

"So you are the trouble maker, huh...", the old man said. He had a very long white beard and was sitting in the dojo like a master, but all I could see was a monstrous existence, "You have bad luck to have been sent here"

[Otuka - Lv. 88 Jonin]

The man was not an elite jonin, level-wise, but he was very much near that realm of strength. Considering his age and history, he was most likely a core elite jonin in the past, even though there was no mention of him in the series.

Since I was being punished, I had no choice but to endure this moment. 

There was a reason Otuka was a revered yet feared person in the Academy. Wanting to find a successor for his kenjutsu art, a modified version of the Mist Sword Art, he always beat up the students that interacted with him. Rumours were one thing, but everyone knew he was the 'crazy elder of the Academy'. 

Many kiri ninja tried to inherit his kenjutsu art, wanting to become stronger. However, the older you were, the more ruthless Otuka was to his opponents. Some were beaten up so bad that they stayed in the hospital for months, though he was much lighter on Kirigakure student.

As I did not want to be beaten up, I decided to play the card of flattery.

I bowed as low as I could, and shouted: "IT IS AN HONOUR MEETING OTUKA, ONE OF THE STRONGEST SWORDSMEN OF THE MIST"

Otuka was taken aback, as the students sent to him were usually very arrogant and troublesome. However, the kid in front of him possessed a coldness...one that should not belong to a child.

'Perfect', Otuka thought

There will be tons of AU in this story, be warned.

After all, there is not much information on the village itself, for example we don't even know the name of the third Mizukage !

However, Kirigakure definitely held its place of one of the five major villages for a reason and it is very strong.
