Ayanokouji: Defective Shinobi

Chapter 6: An Unlikely Ally

Ichika-chan: Oni-chan! Am I going to wake you up every day now? Don't you have that mission that Mr. Ayanokouji gave us?

Grumbling, I got up. 

Me: Yeah, yeah, I get it. Thanks for the heads up. 

Ichika-chan: Also, that's not the only thing I'm here for!

Me: What else?

Ichika-chan: This is for you. 

She handed me a single scroll. 

Me: What is it?

Ichika-chan: I think it has to do with that clone thing you talked with Mr. Ayanokouji. Set it up before you go so you have your own little doppelganger. 

Me: Alright. And thanks. Ichika. 

Ichika-chan: No worries!

Me: So what are you going to do today?

Ichika-chan: Oh, I'm actually going on my first mission!

Me: Already? Good for you. What did they send you to do?

Ichika-chan: Oh it's an assassination. 

Me: Of who?

Ichika-chan: Classified!

Of course she'd say that. 

Me: Well, good luck. 

Ichika-chan: Thanks oni-chan. Now get ready. I have to change too!

Me: Alright. 

She ran out of my room, closing the door as she left. 

Me: Well, time to get this mission over with. 

Getting up, I took a shower, changed into completely dark clothes. and grabbed my book of weapons. 

Me: I can't use my longsword for this mission. So let's stick to small and very light swords. 

I pulled out two 5 foot katanna from one of the pages of my book as I sheathed it on my back. I put on black gloves and took out the mask of a white eagle. I needed to conceal my identity, since there would be the likes of Kakashi Hatake and his genin squad would be there as well.  

Before I exited the room, I opened up the scroll, revealing a summoning symbol. Putting the scroll on the table, I took off my glove and cut my finger, trickling my blood onto the symbol, activating it. 

What came out was a complete copy of myself. 

Me: So this is the type of clone I will leave here good. 

Looking down at the scroll, I saw a countdown begin. 7 days and counting. So this does have a time limit. Although you mentioned this mission did have a limit, there's one present on how long I can be out. Great. 

Me: You know how to live as I do, correct?

Clone: Yes, sir. 

Me: Good. So stop calling me sir, and be normal. I don't want my teammates finding out you're a clone. Especially Manabu. 

Clone: Alright. 

Me: Well, guess that settles that. I'll be off. 

Opening the door, I left my room and towards the elevator.

Nearing the exit to the village, I was stopped by one of the Jonin posted there.
