18: Lost Tower (1)

It has been a month since the discovery that there could be a possibility that one of Kanae's ancestors is also a reincarnated person, however,  as we still has no proof for that Kanae still continues to look for her family tree.

Kanae is a good friend and I appreciate her for that.

As Number One was walking around he noticed many people lining up and crowding a place.

'Ichiraku. . . Ramen? Grand opening?'

Number One widen his eyes in realization, this was the moment where the time travel happened!

No wonder the Sandaime Hokage request for his summon immediately! As he was about to head towards the Hokage Tower he noticed his student sibling anxiously looking for someone, however, it soon ended when Jiraiya came and placed his palm on Minato's shoulder.

Number One hurriedly came over them and joined their conversation

"Good morning, Minato-San!"

Number One greeted, waving his hand with his usual distinctive smile.

"Oh, One-kun Good Morning."

"Aren't you also gonna greet your Sensei Number One?"

"Of course, how could I forgot to greet my precious Sensei. Good morning, Jiriaya-Sensei!"

Jiraiya deadpanned as he was confuse whether Number One was being sarcastic or not, but nonetheless continued to do what he came here for.

"Come with me for a moment. Will you?"

Jiraiya motioned for Minato to follow him, and Number One who had nothing to do followed them. Jiriaya took them to a nearby alley where no one was watching.

"Now watch and be amazed!"

Jiriaya clutched his right hand using his left hand and forms a rasengan.

"How's that?"

Jiriaya said with a smug look on his face.

"This is the Hidden Jutsu that took you three full years to be perfect! And I mastered it already! Isn't that something?"

Minato stared at the Rasengan with an awe look.

"Yes! That something! I must handed it to you Jiriaya-Sensei!"

"I know! How about you Number One? Isn't this amazing?"

Number One snorted as he put his hand over his mouth and exclaimed with a fake shocking expression.

"Minato-San! It took you three years to perfect this Jutsu? You know it only took me a month to master it."

"What?! But how One-Kun? I never taught you this Jutsu."

Number One look at him with a convincing smile.

"Minato-San haven't you heard of me? I'm a genius from the Elite Uchiha Clan, I created this Jutsu with my imagination alone and I never knew that you had created this Jutsu way earlier than me."

Number One held out his palm and formed the Rasengan.

Jiriaya and Minato jaw dropped as they stared at him with widen eyes and an astonished expression.

Number One deactivated the rasengan and let out a dissatisfied sigh and shooked his head.

"However, this Jutsu is still imperfect. I plan on adding my wind nature to the Rasengan but have to delay it of fearing to the side effects."

"Wow, One-Kun you're a genius! To be honest I also tried to infuse my Wind Nature in the Rasengan in the past but ultimately failed to do so."

"Wow. . . These students of mine are a monster. . ."

"Now, now Jiriaya-Sensei no need to be so down."

"By the way, what's with your outfit?"

"Oh this, Kanae gave this to me yesterday."

Number one wore a brown blazer that is paired with dress pants of the same color. He wore a light blue button up long sleeve battle shirt with a dark brown necktie, and a Y-shape suspender son-slip 6 clips elastic to his pants, shinobi utility belt.

This suit was given to Kanae when she insisted that she would pick him a clothe  in repaying of what he had given her in her birthday.

Number One found it annoying that Jiriaya was giggling at him like a school girl, while Minato was just smiling.

"I must go now."

Number One dashed out of the alley towards the Hokage Office.

"Hokage-Sama, you called for me?"

Number One asked with now a serious expression.

"Yes. This mission requires a medic-nin, however, they were all occupied. I'm aware that you do not wish to be a medic-nin despite having medical skills that eill most likely surpass Sanae-San. But this could also help you have battle experience too."

"Thank you Hokage-Sama."

Minato arrived at the Hokage Office as he was astonish to see Number One too.

"Hokage-Sama, this is. . .?"

Hiruzen began to explain the details of the mission.

". . . That's the gist of your mission. Namikaze Minato, Chōza Akamichi, Shibi Aburame and Uchiha One head for Rōran immidiately."

Shibi, Chōza and Number One didn't say anything as Minato spoke in their behalf.

"I understand."

Minato slowly walk near Hiruzen as he respectfully called out.

"Sandaime-sama. . . I'd like your permission to include. . ."

Minato paused for a moment as he gave Hiruzen a document that consist details about Kakashi.

". . . This shinobi, Hatake Kakashi, on this mission."

Hiruzen inspected the document and raised his head and look at Minato as he spoke.

"Do you have something in mind?"

"Yes, well, just like One-Kun, he's young but an extremely talented shinobi."

Hiruzen nodded in satisfaction.

"Fine."

* * *

"It's nice to see you again Kakashi-san."

Number One remarked as he smiled. Kakashi didn't say anything and ignored him.

They had meet occasionally during Team Mianto's training and introduce theirselves.

Number One had already read the full report of the mission.

The destination of their mission is Rōran,

It is a city surrounded by the desert and lies within the Land of Wind.

The mission was to eliminate Anrokuzan

before he could even obtain the Chakra Ley Line.

"Number One, your clothes are a liability."

'In the past, I have always admire the adult Kakashi due to his personality and how he would always keep the situation under control. . . But. . . After meeting the real one, I realized just how much I hated this character.'

Number One thought angrily as he calmed himself down and ask the most obvious question with a smile on his face.

"Oh, may I ask what made you think like that?"

"That neck tie will most likely kill you, that clothes are uncomfortable. . ."

As Kakashi continued to criticized him, Number One run besides Kakashi as he secretly activated his Sharingan and put him in a genjutsu.

'This guy really irritates me.'

Rōran is very far from Konoha. To reach Rōran, they have to cross the Land of Wind without getting caught.

As they continued traveling, Chōza and Shibi were suprise to see Kalashi and Number One being able to keep up with them, Chōza couldn't hold back his curiosity anymore as he asked Minato.

"Minato, these kids are impressive, being able to keep up with our speed and stamina, especially the Uchiha kid. You have really done a great job in training Kakashi. But how do you know the Uchiha kid?"

Minato chuckled and replied.

"Chōza-San, One-kun is also Jiriaya-Sensei's student and that makes us student siblings as per what One-kun us. Even though I haven't seen much of his strength, Jiriaya-Sensei said that One-kun is a genius among geniuses."

Chōza and Shibi who listened to their conversation stared at Number One with astonished eyes. They never expected that Jiriaya would take a Genin Team again.

"Let's take a rest for an hour, we should save our strength and stamina for later."

All of them agreed and stayed to rest.

After an hour later, they started running again towards Rōran. Five days later they have almost finally arrived at Rōran.

Number One's could see the silhouettes of the city.

"That's Rōran."

Minato pointed out as Number One carefully listened to him.

Kakashi stared at Minato as if he was waiting for orders.

"Minato-Sensei, what will I be doing?"

"There's something I want you to do. Are you up to it?"

"Yes, I'll do my best!"

"Kakashi, go scout the area as soon as we reach Rōran. The three of us will keep an eyes on Anrokuzan and Queen Sara, as for you Number One. . ."

Number One immidiately know what to do.

"I'll also go scout the area separately with Kakashi."

Number One stated as he bite his thumb and wave multiple hand seals. Minato was shock to see Number One's hand seals as he immidiately knew what it is.

"Summoning Jutsu!"

As Number One placed his palm on the ground, in a puff of smoke a crow appeared with three legs.

"Hello, Raon. I have a mission you see and I need your assistance."

Number One stared at Minato as he remarked.

"Minato-san, can we start the mission now?"

Minato didn't say anything as he nodded. We all split up as and Number One told Raon to scout from the skies and report anything suspicious from him.

Number One activated his Sharingan just to see multiple chakra strings that was connected from the 'civilians'.

'How positively delightful! To think that Sandaime-Sama participated me in this kind of mission.'

As Number One was scouting in the city, he saw a brilliant flash of light for a second in a place that was not too far away from him.

Number One arrived at the location just to see a man and a woman unconscious.

The man wore the standard attire of a Konoha-nin, with a flak jacket. The differences between his attire and that of the standard one is that his does not have the Uzushiogakure crest on the shoulders of the sleeves, and the neck of his shirt is form fitting and goes up to his chin. He also still retains two hip pouches strapped to his lower back instead of just one. In addition to that, he has a happuri-style forehead protector that frames his face, similar to that of Tobirama Senju.

While the woman wore a dark purple uniform with golden buttons consisting of a dark-purple tinted straight-lined black jacket and pants. She wore her forehead protector in he bicep.

'I definitely recognize Yamato, but. . . This woman is very familiar.'

Number One's jaw dropped as he realized who she is.

'No way. . . This woman is Shinobu!'

Number One stared at Yamato who's blood consist of Hahsirama cells. Don't worry Number One doesn't have the desire to implant anyone's cell at his body.

Number One opened his mouth as he muttered.

"Shadow Style: Shadow Bind Jutsu."

Suddenly Shadows came out of Number One as they bind Yamato and adult Shinobu. Number One had finally mastered the Shadow Style Jutsu since last month.

He could finally tell the different between the Shadow Style and the Nara Clan's Hidden Jutsu just by activating it.

The shadows raised the bodies and began to bind them. With the sudden movement, it caused Yamato and adult Shinobu to regain their consciousness. They slowly opened their eyes as they observed their surroundings in confusion as they now put their guard up.

Number One let out a mischievous smirk as his eyes glinted with trouble.

"Do not move, you imposters. Now, I shall punish you for performing a serious crime. Now what shall your punishment shall be, hmmm, should I feed you to the lions alive and together burn you alive or have both of your limbs tied and then pulled each of the four cardinal directions. Oh, but not before both of you are tortured by me to no end until both of you confesses your intention as as why have both of you are pretending to be Konoha shinobi. Your fingers would be crushed one by one painfully, have your kneecaps gouded out, and then. . ."
