Bitter Scars (Naruto-fanfic)

Chapter 8: C-Rank ?

Keira's POV

In a few moments, he jumped from tree, then, roof to roof, most people that was a bit late to go back home, looked at our way, thinking we're just ANBU that just completed their mission or something, maybe I could ask that Hokage to give me that kind of jobs but It would be too revealing. (but i am glad that it was already late)

I cleaned my outfit, bathed and went to make dinner and meditate , well it was funny, I called it meditate but I was actually just resting my eyes, not falling asleep, but I conserved my chakra and removed my weights for a while. The following days were the usual.

I continued to practice to further increase my technique for both dark circle and burning sequence.

they were made from different elements but dark circle only works depending on the weather condition, if the arena was too bright, I couldn't disappear and use it. For burning sequence, even water cannot burn it but it's like a time bomb, thus it needs time to explode, I worked to decrease the size of usage, I didn't want to use too much chakra on one technique, over the weeks, I learnt to control the size of it and increased the strength of the inner energy only one rock was needed for this but still, huge energy is consumed.

I developed it fully for burning sequence while team 7 was out for a few D missions, I practiced it even then; walking dogs, i used one hand to walk it while I monitored it for every 2minutes while the others made a fool out of themselves.

I had to reduce the size of the rock, force a bit of chakra in it, let it withstand my strength and finally, the fire, it cannot be too much or too little and when it touches something.

just slightly, it will catch everything in it and burn. I finally got it but I didn't test it as the Hokage was lecturing Naruto, I was in the shadows, making them think that I was the only one who was listening, I wanted to test on the hokage, knowing he will block it but I stop myself, not only the whole office be filled of dead bodies, the whole building will collapse.

"Listen Old Man, I want to go for a real mission, not these small crap chores!" Naruto yells, hurting my poor sensitive ears, Sakura and Sasuke seemed to agree with him, I shrugged, and I don't actually care. (Though, i am also grateful that someone finally argued on that topic.)

'After all, ninjas cannot developed new skills if they read textbooks all day.' I thought.

The Hokage smiles at him, saying that he's all grown and he's not a kid anymore and gave us a C rank mission, being a bodyguard on the journey, at his request, the client enters the room and divert all attention to him, except me, I just have to do my job, without question.

Naruto yells with his over reactive loud voice, arguing with the client

"What? A bunch of kids is going to protect me?"

'Is that why so many drunkard men has died by their hands?' my demon mused

I smiled creepily, to the client which shut up really fast.
