Attacked

'Only three months remaining,' Kent sighed. He was thinking about the chunin exam that would be held in the near future which was the precursor to the attack that Konoha will face under the hand of Orochimaru and Sunagakure (Village hidden in the sand).

While walking toward his house, he suddenly took a sudden turn and entered a dark alley.

"Who?!" He called as he surveyed his surroundings.

Suddenly three figures appeared in front of him. They were wearing the standard ANBU uniform except for the mask that had no characteristics.

Kent narrowed his eyes.

"Why are you following me?" He asked.

"Danzo-sama has called for you," said the middle one. His voice had no fluctuations, as if he was a machine under human skin.

They didn't go away. Kent knew that if he answered negative, they might use force.

"Danzo...," muttered Kent. Suddenly he gave a hollow laugh. "Haha, I knew it. I wanted to live a normal life but others don't want me to."

He suddenly paused and stared at the three root shinobi.

"I hope my father's alright," muttered Kent. "Otherwise–"

Before the root shinobis could react, Kent vanished under a cloud of smoke.

"–his demise may come sooner than the plot."

The hollow voice reverberated in the alley. It was like coming from abyss.

"He used some sort of reverse summoning," the root shinobi, who spoke earlier, said. "Separate and search. He might be hiding nearby."

...

It was a dimly lit cave where Kent appeared in a cloud of smoke.

There was a bed, a wood cabinet and a desk.

After getting the system, Kent had always been prepared for such incident. He never fully trusted anyone except maybe his dad.

The jutsus and methods of seal he got from the system included detailed theory and insight. After getting about five hundred jutsus and various sealing techniques, he already had a clear grasp of how jutsus worked, which in turn helped him develop some useful jutsus, like the reverse summoning.

Kent sluggishly walked to the bed and threw himself on the bed. He was very tired because of the overdraft of chakra. It was not easy to teleport to such a distance with only his small chakra reserve.

...

It was already the next morning when Kent woke up. There was still a headache that bugged him but he had more pressing matters to worry about, that is, his father's whereabout.

He was already a bit suspicious when his father did not come back to village in time. He wanted to wait another day before going out to find his father or maybe assign a searching task to the shinobi division.

But Danzo's move confirmed his suspicion and also made him a little helpless. Although he was very knowledgeable about jutsus and all that but his chakra reserve didn't allow him to use many things. For example, a single shadow clone was his limit even after having a near perfect chakra control.

He had asked his father to have shinobi escorts him to land of tea, where his father frequently visits for business purposes. But his father never did.

Kent always felt that his father had a deep buried grudge against shinobi in general.
