31 Undercover Mission (1/2)
In the following days Saito managed to complete his training in chakra mode, instead of just punching he now can use his chakra claws to rip chunks of meat from his opponents. He followed it by training his Chakra control which finally reached Expert Jonin and he knew that it will take a while before he reached Elite Jonin level. But the advancement gave him more power and he managed to increase the damage and strength of all his jutsus. He still sends his clone to the Hospital in order to keep his façade, and also improve his medical skills.
His current training is concentrated on his new Chakra release, his current speed of improvement was increased with the help of his four clones (minus the fifth working in the hospital), He finally managed to learn a new jutsu and the power it showed was surprising, he knew that other Nature changes can be trained and most Kage level ninjas know more than three nature changes.
Saito now is trying to increase his arsenal of lightning jutsus, he knew that without the shadow clones he would have taken months to learn any new jutsus, he also managed to use it to increase the power of his chakra scalpel and chakra sword creating new variants using thunder to increase the destructive power.
Today he had to stop his training because he was summoned by the Hokage to take a special mission.
=Hokage's office=
Hokage: ”So Saito how is the Anbu life treating you?”
The hokage was smiling, he liked Saito quite a lot he received reports about him and when he learned that he already started learning new chakra nature change, he knew that Saito's talent wasn't comparable to Geniuses like Neji Huga, Sasuke Uchiha or Itachi Uchiha but he managed to achieve great power based on hard work only. Hizuren was proud to have a ninja like him in the village and according to the hospital he showed great healing abilities.
Saito: ”Everything is great Hokage sama, the resources proved helpful in increasing my fighting power, and the battle experience is a great help.”
The Hokage then started explaining the content of his mission, the chakra beast captured the other day, according to the analysis was modified by someone and the changes made it extremely aggressive and its life power was exhausted.
Saito: ”So basically someone created an instable chakra beast, and let it wreak havoc on the villages.”
The Hokage nodded.
Hokage: ”I would like you to go undercover and look around the small villages for any suspicious activities. I already deployed other Anbus to cover bigger areas if you find anything send a report and keep watch on the target.”
Saito: ”Understood.”
Saito used body flicker and moved directly towards his house, he prepared civilian clothes with inner pockets used to store weapons and storage scrolls.
After eating one bowl of Ichiraku ramen, he directly headed out. This wasn't his first time out of the village alone, while taking missions with Anbu he had a lot of solo missions outside of the village some were infiltration, others spying or assassination.
On his way he met a lot of merchants and carriages, Saito always found it amusing that they had electricity, TV and fridges but didn't create transportation vehicles. He thinks that it's most likely due to the constant war between the nations.
He actually enjoys travelling around and meeting new people. He sometimes joined some travelling carriages or merchants. He usually keep his civilian disguise and only acts if his life is in danger.
