Chapter 55 Rejecting

Tanzaku Town.

The sky above the castle was dark with a full moon hanging on it, stars mattered all over the sky.

Tanzaku Castle.

At the training ground,

It was midnight and most of the shinobi were all the in the resting quarters, but a lone figure could be spotted at the training ground despite the late night.

He looked around 12, and stood at 170 cm quite tall for his age.

He wore a blue sleeveless shirt and black pants, his short silver hair adhering to his forehead due to the sweat.

He stood statue in the middle of the ground with his eyes closed, devoid of any movement though that didn't last long.

BOOM!!!

Chakra burst out of him suddenly, the blue strips of energy flying everywhere and even the ground under him cracking.

"What Power!"

Though quickly he brought the unstable chakra under control, as with the blue streamlined chakra hovering around him he opened his eyes and muttered, in a tone full of awe.

Main Task: Defeat a Kage Rank Shinobi before ranked Jonin (20% Template Progress/Incomplete)

"Maybe I can right now, defeating a kage alone may not be impossible now."

Said Kazuki looking at the system panel, the template extraction has reached the half point and with the jutsu, chakra he had now, he truly felt that defeating a kage might not be possible.

"But…how to explain possessing all these jutsu? It's really a big problem!"

But the excited look on Kazuki's face quickly disappeared, replaced by a troubled expression, for the past one and a half year as his strength kept increasing, he gradually unlocked more and more jutsu that only Tobirama possessed.

He already has displayed multi-shadow clone jutsu in the battle and when he returns to the village, explaining how he got hold of that jutsu would be troublesome.

On top of that if he were to reveal Fuinjutsu, Spirit Transformation Technique and a bunch of jutsu only once used by Tobirama, anyone would be able to see that he has a problem.

Just for this reason for the past year or so even during the fight against Han he hardly revealed his true strength, otherwise with his full strength along with Jiraiya and Fukashi supporting him, Han would be pretty much dead by now.

"What should I do?"

Muttered Kazuki while rubbing his temples, the worry had suddenly replaced his happiness of getting stronger.

Swish!

But just when Kazuki was madly thinking for a solution for his problem, a shadow flashed and entered the training field, approaching kazuki quickly who noticing it looked over.

"Commander Jiraiya has called for you in the meeting room!"

An Anbu with the compulsory mask hiding his face appeared before Kazuki and immediately relayed the message.

Swish!

Saying that he flashed and disappeared from the training field the same way he appeared.

Putting his worries aside, Kazuki quickly left the training field and after getting dressed up properly went to the meeting room.

------------------------

In the meeting room,

Knock!

Lightly knocking the door, Kazuki pushed it open and entered the meeting room.

Immediately Kazuki was met with Jiraiya who stood in the middle of the room, holding a scroll in his hands.

"You're finally here! take a look at this kazuki, you'll surely be overjoyed!"

Said Jiraiya in a happy tone after seeing kazuki enter, hurriedly walking to him and stretching the scroll towards him.

With a curious face, Kazuki took the scroll from his hands and opened it immediately, giving its contents a look.

But in a matter of seconds the curious face was replaced by an ugly look, Kazuki's hand holding the scroll trembling.

"Haha! Happy right? I still can't believe one day I'll see a 12-year-old jonin."

Jiraiya after handing the scroll to Kazuki, turned around and went to pick the jonin jacket along with the certificate of his appointment placed on the table, at the same time with his back facing kazuki telling his thoughts.

"I couldn't escape the inevitable after all"

Kazuki didn't seem to have heard Jiraiya at all, muttering with a stressed look on his face, his brown eyes on the scroll.

His promotion to jonin happened, and it happened before he was able to complete the main task, now he had only two options, one was to give up on 20% twenty template progress and the other…

"Here, quickly try this on and also sign this certificate, then you'll be officially registered as a jonin"

But the voice of Jiraiya pulled Kazuki out of his thoughts, who with a huge grin on his face stretched the jacket towards him, also the certificate with a pen.

Sigh….

But something that surprised Jiraiya happened at the moment, Kazuki instead of taking the jacket before him letting out a huge breath, a determined look on his face.

"I'm sorry Jiraiya san but I don't think I can sign it yet; I won't accept the promotion to jonin for now."

Thud!

Saying that Kazuki after giving Jiraiya a little bow left the room, leaving Jiraiya stunned still holding the jacket and the certificate.
