D ranks and up

For the last month it's been nothing but d rank missions that are no different than being an odd jobs. The only entertaining ones are catching tora the daimyo's wife's pet or doing some physical work like pulling carts or painting walls. At least then I can get some exercise in.

Tora's capture mission had a record of 30 minutes by team minato and now the record is 8 minutes by team 8/ Kurenai. With my and Hana tracking the cat with our training and Hinata'S byakugan finding it is simple. Hana and her ninken pups trying to keep up is hilarious though. This cat is a type of summon creature that is several decades old. It can use a multitude of jutsu which is how it keeps escaping.

One of those jutsu is shunshin however I can keep up with flash step. When I get near it I use my intimidation and the thing freezes like its seen a damn tailed beast. I then capture it, knock it and have Hinata seal it's chakra points so it won't escape. We got a hefty amount of ryo for breaking the record.

After that more D ranks which are a bore. We pester nee-chan for some C ranks so we can qualify for chunin exams or so we can do some training. Low and behold we got some.

First up bandit extermination, we had a days travel to the land of fire outskirts, up a mountain to a village were some bandits had raided and made camp. Kurenai spread her scent across the village with wind style gentle breeze and that helped put them in a gen jutsu.

Hana had to find the women with one of her pups while nee-chan made me and Hinata kill a few. I could do it easily as I'm used to killing animals for food. When I thought about killing these guys I thought about how I'm getting paid to do this so technically I am killing for food.

When Hinata killed one she threw up and kept shivering so kurenai hugged her and the pups let her pet them. Therapy pets are a thing in this world apparently as even Ino had two cute boar piglet summons along with their mother which she gained from her first mission. The boar knows earth jutsu so it is useful to her. I'm considering get a summon myself and have been pondering the matter.

After tidying up the bandits and escorting the women back to Konoha which took 2 days we got our pay.

Next mission was to catch a rare type of fish so I just punched the water and had Kurenai grab it. We also caught a few for ourselves which I cooked. The girls love my cooking. Kurenai also gained improved eye sight after eating them but I gained nothing this time. The other genin were shocked about how much the yūhi family can eat.

After that two more C ranks about hunting chakra beasts which was more food. I gained a slight chakra increase and my muscles became slightly more defined after eating them which is good. Apparently if reverse summoning myself will send me to a place filled with animals pumped full of chakra. I'm honestly considering catching chief toad and making french cuisine outta him. When I said that to my team the two of them thought I was joking. Kurenai knee better and warned me not to cross that bridge...yet.

Our last C rank mission was more difficult. The hokage gave us a mission around the same time as naruto's wave mission. We encouraged Hinata to bid farewell to him and she gave him a bento. The idiot didn't process the meaning and kept chasing the pink banshee. I hope I face him in the chunin exams. I'm going to deck him one.

Our mission was to escort a gem towards the land of crystals near IWA borders. It was a land not mentioned in canon but I find there are lots of those now that I live here. The author can only fit in so much on panels. The journey took two weeks and we met with some complications.

We ran into to B-rank nukenin from IWA. One was a woman who mastered a nail jutsu that fires her finger nails like bullets and elongates the finger bones to be like claws. The other was a man who had a jutsu that made him produce projections of his attack before it happened so it throws the senses.

Hinata took the finger chick and put her new skills into practice. More confidence means she trained harder and mastered rotation like neji however I taught her a few things. You guys ever seen kengan series. I tried to teach her rakshasa palm and devil lance as well as blink. Surprisingly she picked them up. She adds rotation to her gentle palm attacks which cause more pain to the sealed area and also slow movement. Using rakshasa palm on her feet has made her faster and using her byakugan and analysing herself moving in the mirror has made her develop a new branch of her taijutsu.

She's thinking of calling it dizzy palm as her rotation does make someone who stares at it to closely dizzy. She says it's also excellent chakra control training. I'm also attempting to add it to my ice pick to make it into a drill and maybe add it to the kugi punch. The rotation might send someone hurtling further.

She easily defeated the nail woman by spinning and deflecting the nail bullets. When she got into close range she put in her second training. Precognition, me and sis trained her analyse the opponent and predict their next move so she can either preemptively stop it by attacking the area or dodging ahead of time. Her byakugan made her a natural for it.

As for the other guy Hana wanted to handle them with her new jutsu. Jagged fang Over fang. She learned she had a wind type nature and added that to her jutsu. It amped up her spinning and she fires off random wind blades as well as slicing whatever she passes. The after image guy lost an arm then tried to escape so I used a cameo jutsu.

I discovered some jutsu in the library and Kurenai's collection that she collected over travels during missions and her rewards that some were basically copies of stuff from other series. For example.

Wind style tempest kick- I said as I swung my leg making a spinning air blade shoot out cross sectioning the guy. It was not pretty to look at. I also learned some other Jutsu that are mainly water and fire style. My favourite was one that I picked up from water walking. It's called water style coco mon jutsu.

It lets me slowly sink into the ground and makes chakra stir the water to obscure me by dragging sand and muck up from the bottom of the area and infusing chakra into it. Even the byakugan can't see through it when it's activated although after a few seconds I can be tracked but with my swimming speed it's more than enough.

After the nukenin were killed we dragged the carcass to a butcher in the land of crystal. It's one of the bounty collection points. We got a couple million to spend and spilt it. We delivered the gem and went sight seeing.

I found a place called crystal jelly which made the best coffee jelly. It made my teeth stronger and my hair darker yet thicker. The same happened to Kurenai so we asked for the recipe and paid the owner a couple thousand ryo for it. I can easily remake it. We also got some rock candy that was good as it was made from rum. Whiskey bonbons. They are delicious.

After that we went back and turned in our report. We learned about what happened in the land of waves so Hana to Hinata to naruto to congratulate him while I went to the baths. Had a nice soak and drank some coffee milk. Picked up some dango on the way back and met up with my dango buddy for abit. Then caught some sleep.

Next day Kurenai gave us the week off to train for the chunin exams. I couldn't wait for it so I buffed my training up. I want to add the rotation to my moves and increase the amount I through with the flying utensils. Can't wait for this exam, I want to catch one of Orochimaru'S snakes here and eat it. Chinese snake soup, breaded snake strips or even stir fried. I can't wait 😊
