Chapter 3: Target To Kill

" Wow, well done, you managed to grasp your technique faster than I anticipated. But it's time for you to reveal your innate technique, Brat." 

I grin at her comment as I raise my hand towards her holding onto a metal shard. She looks at the shard confused until it suddenly rapidly grows. She starts nodding her head until I shrink the shard into a piece smaller than my pinky. 

A surprised look engulfs her face as she scratches the back of her head before she shrugs her shoulders. Looks like she has something on her mind but doesn't want to tell me. 

" You can expand and compact objects a useful technique indeed, but I need to show you someone. Please take a shower and put on the clothes inside that room. " 

Says my sister pointing to her right at a door. I just nod my head at her and start walking towards the stone door. I can't speak to my sister because it logically wouldn't make sense. 

She never taught me how to speak and I doubt she will ever teach me. So I have to act mute. I slide open the door and walk into a shower covered in brownish tiles and a single creaky showerhead...

After around 15 minutes I got out of the shower. The shower I took was cold. Which isn't too surprising. I walk towards a black robe and wooden sandals. Folded up near the entrance of the shower room. I quickly put the black robe on. 

The black robe is too large but I'm pretty sure this was done on purpose to hide the scars on my body. My face doesn't have a single scar, yet my entire body is covered in them. I put on the sandals and walked out of the shower room with my hair still wet. 

My sister was waiting outside the shower room with a bored expression on her face. She looked at me walked out of the shower, and grins.

" You sure took your time, but hurry up and come towards me. "

She says wagging two fingers toward me, I walk towards my sister as I see her holding something in her hand. She tosses it to me. I swiftly catch it and look at it. It's a metal ring with an emerald gemstone.

" When this ring glows come back to me. but hurry up brat and follow me "

She says walking towards a flight of stairs, I slide the ring on my finger and follow her...

20 minutes have passed since I left the shower room, after going up a long flight of stairs and walking through a dirt path in the middle of a forest. I have arrived apparently at the Zenin clan residence. 

It looks like a traditional Japanese house. Am I actually in Japan? I walk towards the house. Until the sounds of grunting are heard. I glance to my right at an opening in the middle of the forest and see a kid with long dark green hair and glasses. 

She's holding onto a spear far too big for her tiny body. I stare at her until she looks back at me feeling my gaze. A confused expression covers her face but before she can say something I enter the Zenin residence.

I walk through Shoji doors, before entering a long hall. The hall has a long table with a plethora of seats but no one is inside the seats. I stare at the long table until I feel a tug on my left shoulder.

I glance to my left and see my sister pointing toward a staircase that leads to an indoor balcony. The balcony has a set of chairs and a single opened window letting fresh air in. The balcony looks down at the long table. I start walking up the stairs until my sister speaks. 

" Satoru Gojo is going to meet with Zenin members at this meeting. He has white hair and blue eyes. That is your target to kill. Don't try anything at this meeting. You're nowhere near ready to kill him. "

She says turning around and leaving the room. I nod my head as I walk up the stairs and step onto the wooden balcony. She clearly wants me to see Gojo so I have an idea of the man I have to kill. 

I sit on a wooden chair that is on the balcony and look off the balcony waiting for the Gojo and the members' arrival. After a few minutes, the sound of footsteps entered my ears but they were far too light to be an adult. 

I watch as around 20 kids enter the room and walk up the stairs leading to the balcony. They were all startled by my presence until they all walked closer to me including the green-haired kid from earlier. They stood next to me before the green-haired girl asked me a question.

" Who are you? " 

Before I could say anything. The sound of footsteps enters my ears and the kids next to me. We all look down at the table as a tall man with white hair enters the room. I stare at him as black-haired men slide open different Shojis and enter the room. 

Let me see how strong the man I need to kill is...
