19: Bandits

Yami with Kaburamaru wrapped on his neck and Sakumo meet up at the Konoha entrance as they began running towards destination where Yami will perform his first Anbu mission.

"What's my mission captain?"

Yami ask, Sakumo didn't explain what his mission will be, he just told him that today will be his first mission.

"You'll just be fighting a couple of bandits that is hiding in the Bamboo Village."

'Seems simple enough.'

Yami subconsciously said to himself, fighting a couple of bandits might also help his new body to get experience.

"So what happened after you told your Uncle's and Aunt that you'll be having your first mission today."

Ahh, don't get me started. Both of my Uncles just stated 'good luck on my mission', while Aunt started lecturing about what to do's and what not to do's during a mission for nearly five hours.

When I told Shisui that I have a mission he wished me good luck on my mission, and after I said that I'll be away for two or three days he started crying and saying stuff about to not leave him alone.

And what irritates me the most was that Shisui stopped crying after I told him I'll be teaching him a cool Jutsu after I'll come back from the mission, and just said to come back early.

"I'd rather not talk about it."

"You brought your bokutō as a weapon. Why?"

"You already know that this bokutō is just not an ordinary bokutō."

About ten months ago I remembered a seen in the original story where the Hokage's son infused his wind chakra onto the blade. Remembering this scene it suddenly gave me a creative idea.

My bokutō is ordinary strong and cam be broken if it is used in a wrong way, but, with the correct stance and how high or low you raise your arms, how much strength you place in your arms. The bokutō might be able to damage a target with a severe injury.

Since wind is one of my affinity I imagined myself infusing my wind chakra onto the bokutō, but remembered that it has no sharpness on sides, the tip of the bokutō can go through a flesh if it is correctly thrust.

So I started with an ordinary stick, I coated the stick with my chakra before infusing the wind chakra, however, it had failed as I forgotten to change the shape of the chakra I coated. I improved this technique for until last week ago it was finally complete.

I still haven't try it on a combat but I'm planning to do so while fighting the bandits.

We finally arrived at the Bamboo Village in just three hours.

Sensei stopped walking and so do I. I'm guessing that the reason Sensei stopped was because he'd also sense a couple of people in about 87 meters away.

"Sensei, could you atleast provide me criticism."

Sensei signaled me that I could move and after hearing my request he just nodded.

I disappeared and reappeared nearby of the trees.

'Kaburamaru. Let's do this.'

Kaburamaru didn't reply as he just hissed.

I activate my Sharingan just in case there was a trapped. I stared at the blade that the three of the bandits was holding, just as I suspected, the blade were coated with poison. I gave a silent thank you to Kaburamaru who convinced me to listen to Aunt Mikoto's lesson for five hours.

After five minutes of inspected their movements, I knew that I could now move freely, the bandits were carefree they didn't even check their surroundings and the way their shoulder moved, every step. These bandits didn't even know how to fight properly.

Sigh. . . It would be a total waste of my time using the technique on these idiots.

I revealed my presence to them, I didn't wait for them to sense me as it was a waste of time waiting for an enemy to sense me.

I stared inhaling and announced my attacked.

"Serpent Breathing: Second Form: Venom Fangs of Narrow Head."

With that I dashed at the first bandit who was eating behind their back and landed a hit on his neck using the tip of the handle.

"AUGHH!"

His sudden loud cry gained the attention of ten bandits.

They started cursing at me telling me to go away but I didn't listen to their ruckus.

The second bandit who was about to become my victim walk towards me slowly, this thug started bluffing trying to scare me but I ignored his nonsense and focus to the next breathing technique I'm about to use.

"Serpent Breathing: Seventh Form: Venomous of Hundreds Slashes. . ."

In my past life I recreated the Serpent Breathing with nine forms, this form I used is one of the nine forms of the Serpent Breathing.

This seventh form was supposed to coat the katana with poison and and thrust the tip of the blade or slash at the target's several pressure points, but since they're just bandits with small brain, there was no need for me to use poisons with them.

I hit both of his sides of the the lower thigh, his xiphoid process and I was just about to hit his stomach when he just suddenly collapse.

I didn't even hit him that hard.

I stared at the bandits who was now finally alert as they run towards me.

"Serpent Breathing: Fifth Form: Slithering Serpent."

I grabbed the handle of the bokutō and curved my bokutō at the enemies who formed theirself in a zigzag pattern, and hit the back of their neck.

'Back. . ."

Kaburamaru informed me as I ducked and saw one of the bandit recklessly slashing the blade horizontaly.

Yami didn't give the bandit time to release an another attack as he twist his lower body and sweep the bandit.

Yami stood up as he knock the bandit out.

Yami continued killing all of the remaining bandits, after that Yani felt like they weren't the only ones, so he'd spread five Shadow Clones that he'd summoned and ordered his Clones look for the remaining bandits.

Moments later a memory came onto his mind as he began to move towards the southwest of the Bamboo forest.

After he had arrived he'd saw fifteen  bandits that was transporting a box inside of a carriage.

As Yami inspected them with his Sharingan, they were different from the other bandits he had recently just fought.

But nonetheless, in Yami's eyes they were like an annoying insects

-*-*-*-*-*-*

The mission ended well and it only took 10 hours if you include the time we got in the Bamboo Village and in Konohagakure.

Sakumo and Yami reported to the Hokage and came to the Hatake Compound.

"Why did you follow me?"

Sakumo asked his apprentice, the mission was done and Yami could go back to his home and train his brother.

"Well I'd like to know more about the human anatomy but to harm instead of heal."

"So you consider entering the Wolf Division?"

Yami shook his head, "Nope, its just that one of my techniques specialize in human body to slash better and painfully."

Sakumo nodded in understanding, and speaking of techniques, Sakumo asked.

"Those kenjutsu techniques that you displayed earlier, what kind of techniques are those?"

"I made it all on my own, which I call the Serpent Breathing."

Should I teach Sakumo-Sensei the TCB?

Yami asked his friend telepathically.

'This kid is a genius. . . No a prodigy! Maybe not even Kakashi can compare to him!'

Sakumo thought shockingly.

"Sensei, I would like to teach you a technique."

"What kind of technique?"

"Well this technique doesn't involves chakra but only Breathing does."

What kind of technique is it that others doesn't even need chakra?! Sakumo silently screamed in his heart.

"I call this technique the Total Concentration Breathing or in short you could just call it TBH. . ."

". . . It accelerates your blood circulation and your heart rate that causes your body temperature to spike. . ."

". . . And the best part is that it expand your lung capaxity, making any breath related Jutsu stronger and bigger. . ."

". . . When you bring lots of air into your blood, and when your blood gets excited, your bones and muscles scurry to heat up and grow stronger."

Sakumo stared at his apprentice with shocking eyes, he couldn't believe that Yami created such technique that allowed the lung capaxity to increase and made the body even stronger.

Yami knew what his Sensei was thinking but never made an effort stopping his thoughts about I created this technique.

Sigh. . .

How troublesome. . .

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Two days later, Sakumo-Sensei mastered the technique in just one day after that I taught him the FFCB, to which he was having a hard time  because of how similar snore every night.

Thankfully, Sakumo-Sensei made a Clone that would woke him up every night if he were to break the focus.

"I'm home!"

"Ni-Chan! You're back!"

"Yes, I'm back."

"When will you teach me a new Jutsu?"

I swear that this kid was waiting for the Jutsu rather than me.

I saw Aunt Mikoto as she ran at me making a huge fuss checking if I have an injury, but I never stopped her as it was quite a good feeling.

Uncle Fugaku was at the Konoha Military Police Force Headquarters busy doing stuff like maybe paper works.

After that I thank Aunt Mikoto again and head towards our home.

"Ni-Chan, what Ninjutsu will you be teaching me?"

"It will be the Body Flicker Jutsu. . ."

"What is that?"
