Shadow Of The Mist

"What did you just say?" The teacher is furious. Not a sinlge person was as disrespectfull as this child towards him in his entire life. He knows exactly who that kid is. The kid that appeard after being gone for 4 years. 'That brat has been in prison his entire life and is now for not even a year in the hidden mist village, but is already so arrogant. If he wouldn't be the Anbu captain's personal disciple i would kill him right now!' That is all the man can think of. In his mind thousands of different methods to kill this kid appear.

The first time someone disrespects him it is a 5 year old child and with the captain behind Yuu's back the man can't even touch a hair on his body. Because he can't do anything he just continues his lesson and dismisses the class as soon as possible. He has to think of a way he can show this brat who is superior.

Yuu on the other hand is bored. With the help of the system he learned to read so he could read what the teacher wrote on the blackboard and understood the lesson without listening to the teacher. This lesson was just about the basics of chakra. The sharik-like man just explained that chakra consists of physical and spritual energy. He also wrote that, in the beginning, you can increase your capacity by training your body and mind and regulary deplete your chakra so you can naturally replenish it again. That is all stuff he already knows so naturally he questions Ken's decision to send him here.

After they are finally allowed to leave Yuu rushes to the training ground he and Ken used the past 8 months. All he finds there is a note that basically says, that all he needs to know to become a ninja is tought at the academy and there is no need for Ken to train him any further. Ken trained him so he would fulfill the requirements to join the anbu after he graduates from the academy, if he wants to join.

Unsatisfied the boy thinks about how to graduate as fast as possible so Ken would train him again. But to graduate he needs to learn ninjutsu, because the test at the acadamy consists of two parts. In the first part you need to demonstrate a D-rank or two fully mastered E-rank jutsus. The second part is a life or death battle between the students. Of course jutsu come in handy in part two, so many focus on that. It is only natural that Yuu would like to learn some jutsu but what he really wants to know is how to further develope his bloodline limit.

In every village, even here in the hidden mist, people with a bloodline limit stand at the pinnacle and look down on every other ninja. If he can master his own bloodline limit further he has a trump card he can use and he can develope his own way to fight. If he just copys other ninja he can easily be seen through. If he can develope his own fighting style its nearly impossible to read his movements and attacks if he meets his opponent for the first time. That would be enough, because Yuu already promised himself that, if someone tries to stand in his way, there will be no second time.

If its just a ninjutsu Yuu's brother Yagura can surely help him so, after he stays there for a few minutes thinking about what he could do now, he goes home to ask his brother. His brother is already a ninja so he can teach him one or two ninjutsu, besides Yagura seems a bit sad that Yuu doesn't interact with him very much so, because Yuu can't stand this depressed mood every morning anymore, he will ask for his help, maybe he will feel better then.

On his way home a thick mist fills the streets. This often happens, but most of the time its a signal that ther is a battle in the vicinity. Because he doesn't really care about it he ignores it and goes home. When he arrives there it is unusually quiet.

Of course it is quiet like that when Yagura is on a mission, but he told him this morning that he would be at home for the next 3 days and would be on a long mission after that so he would like to spend some time with Yuu. Yuu carefully opens the door and asks loudly: "Yagura? Are you home?" As he gets no answer he slowly goes inside and looks in every room to find him. Because he can't find his brother Yuu wants to go and find Ken to ask him if he knows where Yagura is, but before he can leave the house he hears a a wretched scream from somewhere near the village gate.
