Chapter 6 - A Hero Emerges

'm Mei Terumi, and I'll only be picking boys." A smile blooms on her face.

YES YES YES YES YES I'ts mei wait no i need to focus but mei..no train we need to get stronger(an older) first.

still my eyes widen in anticipation as i sees her step forward.i was never sure how Chojuro met her, so i never complained about being without her all the time, even if it did improve my progress.

All for this moment, getting close Mei Terumi will ensure my safety and future. Even someone like Chojuro c ould became a member of the seven swordsmen of the mist, so why would i miss this bus? my knowledge of the future is my biggest weapon, and with one move i can cripple an entire nation.

The more i think about the last year full of waiting, the broader my grin becomes, looking at the young girl before me these eyes can't help but begin to shine.

She has long auburn hair to the small of her back with the trademark bangs covering her face. Her emerald green eyes scan the crowd with a smile plastered on her thin lips. She's wearing a gray dress with chainmail hanging just below her shoulders and covering her cleavage, the hem of her dress is just above her knees. A white belt hangs around her waist with the Kiri emblem on it. Mesh leggings extend down to her long steel battle boots, exposing her blue painted toenails.

She doesn't have her trademark blue dress yet, but mistaking her for anyone other than the fifth Mizukage is impossible.

As her eyes scan the kids her eyes stop Kuro, slowly lifting her finger she points at Kuro.

"Ok you auburn hair boy, we have the same hair color so I guess it can pass as something old."

"Ah?!?" kuro's face goes white, looking between Mei and me he doesn't know what to do.

Mei was about to pick someone else, but seeing the panic on my face deepens her smile, turning her eyes into slits.

"You! Because you have blue hair, and I may need you at my wedding one day. You gotta prepare for these things early."

A Immense feeling of excirment washed over me, when she saw me look about flustered she began to look away it was like a heavy weight pressing down on me just got lifted.

"Hmm, nothing else is auspicious here." She puts a finger on her lips and glances at the girls before quickly looking away.

"Can I just have these two?" She glances at Yagura and the other two.

"You want to give up a slot?" Yagura frowns slightly. "That's not the mission we were given, you have to pick three."

Puffing her cheeks she points at a pair of twin girls with dark gold hair "Fine her then. Introduce yourselves."

Before they even gets a chance to react a third boy steps forward.

"Bunrakuken!" The child yells at the top of his lungs, frightening some of the kids.

He appears to be around two years old. He has extremely short metallic gold hair, almost like a military cut. His eyes are dark yellow, almost orange. He has three vertical white scars on his forehead, over his eyes and nose. His face is oval shaped and he has a strong nose.

"I volenteer as tribute to be on Madame mei's team.

Looking at him i don't know wether to be sad for the girls or confused on how he thought this would work.

As i was thinking yagura suddenly spoke up

"Take him on your team since you only pick boys while he takes the girls" said yagura while pointing at the teen in the corner of the room.

The kid crosses his arms, obviously done with his introduction. Seeing this Zitsu pushes Chojuro forward.

Kuro stumbles a bit, but seeing the smile on Mei's face he calms down. "I'm" he glances back at me, seeing this i give a thumbs up he continues "I'm Kuro."

*Pah*

The loud noise causes everyone to turn their heads, standing there is Kuroba with my hand covering his face.

Rubbing his face i steps forward. "I'm Shun and this is my cousin Fuku."

"Good!" She nods her head "You three with me."

Walking off to the side the we kids follow her, getting a bit of distance away we turns to watch the rest of the selection.

Walking side by side to Kuro we stand behind Mei. The other kid, Bunrakuken stands a little in front of them. Seeing this i shake his head, what is this kid thinking?

With a nasty grin, another teenager steps forward. His hair is wrapped up in bandages but his orange eyebrows are still exposed. His nose and lips are full of piercings of various sizes. He's wearing extremely baggy blue pants and ninja slippers. His chest is covered in mesh and his waist is wrapped in bandages. Wrapped around his right arm is his ninja headband.

"My name is Unkei Tani" his lips begin to curl, he doesn't even look at the guys and points at the remaining three girls. "You three with me."

He immediately begins walking off to the side.

The girls look around confused.

"Over here!" Turning around he yells across the room.

Seeing this Mei frowns slightly and looks at Yagura, seeing the impassive look on his face she shakes her head.

The three girls run over behind Unkei. One brave girl around two years old step forward.

"Do we need to do int-" *Pah*

Before she could even finish talking the girl is slapped across the face and sent sprawling across the floor. The right side of her face instantly swells up like a balloon, her skull obviously fractured unkei begins to emit such strong bloodlust that even mei begins to shake.

Seeing this the other two girls, and all the other kids in the room begin to shake.

[Immense pressure forcing system quest function to temporary unlock]

[New Quest:Save the young girl;Reward Fully bypass bloodline and unlock entire system;Failure teleported to dungeon to survive for 800 hours]

Seeing this im put into a state of shock i just got here and i need to risk my life for another time but if i do get Eve back and can fully use the system to accomplish my goals but if i fail i die and if i succeed i die damn guess theres no choice here but to use the items i got in the starter pack

I summon three kunai in one hand while charging up hudro pump in the other

Unkei smiles, droll begins to flow out the side of his mouth as he licks his lips. "Did I" he slowly walks over to the sobbing girl "tell you to speak?"

"Huuu huuuu" *Hik* Hik* "I want my mommy huuu"

Unkei frows. Rising his foot up, he slowly lowers it on the girl's chest.

*Swish Swish Swish*

Before he could step on the girl's chest three kunai had alredy flown at him but they didn't hit as he had already moved out the way before he could turn around to see who threw them i began forming the seal for wind petal to blast him in the face but he suddenly appeared in fron of my and kicked me into the wall cracking my ribs i could feel the blood flowing from my mouth onto my chest luckily i have healing blood which helps but it won't remove the pain from my caved in chest.

"Oi whats this fancy yourself a her huh" he said as he began too slowely walk towards me like he was enjoying trying to kill me.

suddenly what which most in this situation would think is the voice of god sounded out "Unkei you can't kill him without is instructors consent or we fail the mission and you know what that means" said yagura emphising the Fail the mission part.

"Fine but i'm sure mei wont mind me killing her little hero right" he said looking at mei with a fowl grin mei then looks at me and even though she is the best one here in the room.

"Sure Bad kids need to be taught to respect their elders"

She agreed but i could still see a tinge f regret in her eyes i guess this is the part of the timeline where she just starts to see what she's doing is wrong.

"Good now die,hmm Shun was it that's interesting because i had sensei had a son with the exact same name it couldn't be that Shion is your father?"

No NO NO even if i only knew him for a few minutes there's no way my father would train a person to become such a heartless bastered and if he no he couldn't right if he No

seeing the distraught look on my face Unkei starts to laugh with glee "So it's true you are a justice basterd just like him it's a shame really father and son dying the same way both trying to save a dumb little girl"

After hearing this i just sit there shocked my dad who even with only a few moments after meeting me decided to leave to protect his family in a war he didnt want to fight and even then he wrote to me spoke to me and even died in a way that saved a child he really was a good guy after all without knowing a few somber tears rolled down my face

"Yes keep that face it's the same look he had when he knew could never see his son again cry cry boy what are those tears"

Without me even responding Unkei contienued his mocking until he was interrupted by mei this time

"If your gonna kill him do it theres no need to turture the boy"

At least my sensei has my back not well at least she wants me to die fast man is he starting to lose her appeal.

"Fine,Hey kid i'll give you the same grace i gave your father i'll let you ask me one entire question before you die"

Arrogant basterd you'll regret this.

"Thanks ok my question is what is blood made out of in the mist?"

Yagura began to turn to be and glare with a seious face along with his Saruku has the question i ask his what any chunin of the mist would know as it's the final question on the written exam

"HAHAHAHA your well informed to know that questiuon kid but as i'm a chunin i know the answer it's water i can't belive you picked something so easy."

Gotcha punk,with him distracted i had time to finsh the wind petel hand signs and had it flow towards his face suddenly he grabbed it and laughed

"Whats this the petal to a flower is it your final goodbye HAHAha OOh" he didnt get to finish as the petal exploded in a large blue flash wich made a strong gust of wind blow him back to the other side of the room then without hesitating i started blasting a full power hydro pump at his chest.

Cracking sounds begin to echo across the room as the Unkei's cries turn to wails, his arms and legs flapping around. Soon his screams turn into fits of coughing, but even that is drowned out by the cracking of his chest and the sound of rushing water. Blood begins to seep from his eyes and mouth as the pressure behind my attack builds. even with this he still decided to talk more trash about my father

"You hit as soft as a peddle just like your dad"

With this i erupted in a burst of anger and poured all the negative emotions i felt over the years at him

"I dare more filth to come out your mouth about my father"

With one final push his chest caves in, his putread blood only not staining the floor from the draining of water by yagura.

Every child, Kuro included, are currently petrified. After a few seconds, everyone but the four teens begins to hurl.

The death throttle of that guy still rings in my head as our vomit covers the floor. For this first time in over a year it finally clicks, this isn't Earth anymore, this isn't an anime, this isn't a game, this is the bloody mist village, these 'teenagers' are all elite killers, these aren't normal people, these are ninja!

If i'd had takin the mission too lightly, i would be dead instead of him i then stopped thinking of this as my favorite anime, this is my life!

My Immense realization was then iteruppted by Yagura

"Now with That mess over we are down a teacher so the plan for today is no longer possible so all of you go to your rooms"

He said while making sure everyone was gone before looking at me

"Everyone except You"
