Ch 07

Saisei PoV

"Your class has been called to this room for a reason. It has been a full year since the attack and so the Elders decided that it would be a smart idea to allow you little boys and girls to actually set foot in dangerous missions." Our teacher said as she posted different missions in the board

"I am tasking all of you to create your own teams. Each team should have atleast 3 individuals. Each team would be put under mentorship of an A rank ninja and you will then attend missions." The teacher continued in which every kid started murmuring among themselves

Since we were given the liberty, everyone immediateky teamed with their closest friend. I wished to actually teamed up with Aki to protect her in the sidelines but unfortunately she adamantly wanted to team up with Umi and Niko.

I just let her do her thing since I know that I van't shelter her forever. She needs to be someone who can stand up for herself. I always teach her about morals and I believe that she is absorbing my lessons so I doubt that she would turn out to be like a blooodthirsty person.

"Hey Saisei. Do you have a team yet?" Madara asked as he approached me with his younger brother Izuna behind him

"Well, to be honest. I have no real best friend here. Although I am friends with all of them, there is always someone that they value than me." I sighed since I am not that bonded with my leers due to my eccentric behavior

"Hahaha. Me too. Our classmates are too afraid of my power that they didn't even dare to talk to me." Madara laughed with disdain as he whispered close to my ear to prevent others from overhearing him

Well, that is the truth ladies and gentlemen. The great Madara is actually like me who have no close friend except his brother. Our classmates view and revere him as a genius so they became afraid of him. Their reasoning is that they are lower than he is due to his talents or that he might just pick them because they are weaker.

"Since you are as decent according to my brother and actually have sharingan as we do, it would be a pleasure to team up with you. Nit only that but you save our younger brother and I cannot thank you enough." Izuna amiably said to me as he pat me in the shoulder

"Are you sure you want someone like me? I mean I am just a medical ninja?" I said to test if they actually wanted me just because I am a Medical-nin

"Well, it is beyond that Saisei. I know that you are strong you might even be as stong as I am since I know that you are the one who knocked out several B ranked Ninjas." Madara praised as he looked at me with a eager expression as if he want to fight me

"Wait?! You mean he was the one who dad was talking about?! The one that allowed the Genjutsu Ninjas of our Clan to have their hands on enemies alive?!" Izuna exclaimed even if it was in a whisphering way

"Indeed! Saisei right here was the one respobsible for letting our clan have the information about the goal of our attackers." Madara nodded

"Are you all grouped now?" Our teacher shouted

So with our conversation finalized, we decided to team up. We lined up standing in the far end of the room as a couple of older ninjas walked inside the room.

There is a total of 25 youths in our age range so there is a team that have an extra memeber. As the older ninjas examined all the papers given to them, they started to choose which team they want to mentor after a quick huddle.

There are eight A ranked Ninjas that are in our room right now. Although me and Madra are already at the B Rank level, our lack of experience in actual missions are actually on par with our peers.

Most of our classmates are C Ranked, with Aki being so close to being a B Ranked. Most of the students are actually capable in regards to Ninjutsu and are weaker in other areas.

So looking at the physique of the A ranked ninjas infront of me, they are definitely skilled in Taijustu than the average ninjas of our clan. I can forsee that the Clan is starting to nurture the students to become stronger not only in Ninjutsu but also in regards to other aspects of fighting.

Every A Ranked ninja that read all our profiles immediately went ahead and took their pick whom to mentor.

What was left was an plain looking old man with no distinguishing features. Just by looking at him, I can't figure out how strong that guy is. He just looked at our group with a plain smile before introducing himself.

"My name is Akio Uchiha. I may not look like a strong guy to you but I can assure you that not even you Madara would be unable to touch me with your Sharingan activated. By the way, you can call Sensei." Sensei said cockily provoked

"Why You!!!" Izuna raged as he was pissed off by the fact that such a weak looking guy would be our mentor. Not only was he weak looking, he also dared to mock his brother/idol.

Izuna charged quickly aiming towards the head of sensei but sensei easily dodged him. After dodging, Sensei then delivered as soft palm towards Izuna's stomach which didn't even hit but surprisingly sent Izuna flying to uncosciousness

With Izuna getting hurt in just seconds, Madara finally took Sensei seriously as he activated his Sharingan that was already at two tomoe.

Madara quickly apeared behind sensei and delivered a solid punch to the back of the head. Like Izuna, his attack failed and only hit a chair that was substituted by Sensei.

Sensei then sent his elbow towards Madra's back. Like what happened earlier against Izuna, Madara started flying before the elbow even touch its target. Good thing that the walls of the class room was made by a strong material so Madara didn't flew outside like a dummy.

"So what is left is you Saisei. Are you up for the challenge boy." Sensei asked with the same mocking tone he had earlier

"Sure thing Sensei. However, I would like to make a bet with you. If I am able to touch you, would you tell and teach me how you get your strength?" I asked as I inched towards Sensei

"Hahaha, it seems like you aren't hot headed like those two. Sure thing boy, if you are able to touch me, I will teach you my technique." Sensei said as his mannerism changed from being happy go lucky to a serious soldier

I immediately activated my Sharingan which was Blood colored and looked at Sensei. Although my Sharingan is a unique one, Sensei was only fazed for a second before returning to his calmness.

I initiated the attack and delivered a kick directed to the stomach. As I expected, Sensei dodged the attack in the most minimal way and is already on his way to pummeling my face with his fist.

Due to my Sharingan, I can see clear as day his blow and therefore evaded properly in the most minimal way.

However due to my inexperience of Sharingan, my body was alittle late from responding and was therefore almost hit. Even though I evaded properly, a cut was delivered to my face due to the pressure of punch. The punched compressed the air infront of the fist and therefore delivers an attack before the punch even land.

Sesing my wound in the face, Sensei stopped his attack and instead waited for my mext action. I just used my Medical Jutsu and healed it before immediately trying to deliver a punch.

Seeing my attack, Sensei visibly loosened up a little and becam lore laid back. It might be due to the fact that I tried the same attack the he thought that I was also a hot headed youth.

Seeing his condition, I threw a kunai to the right as a form of misdirection. Sensei bit the bait and was distracted for a second so I immediately did the handseals for a substitution technique. I substituted with Izuna who was laying behind Sensei and held him in his leg.

"Hahaha! Good! To think that I would be duped by a kid! Meet me later after lunch and I will start to teach you my technique." Sensei said as he caught the falling Izuna and laid him softly

"So you want to know my secret huh." Sensei said as we were sitting under a tree just across the building where everyone eats

"Yes. Seeing how your strength alone was able to cause air to be compressed to the point that it was comparable to a weak Wind Release is a testament that your physical body is freakishly strong." I said while I bite the sandwhich that I made

"Hahaha, you are quite observant Saisei. My physical strength is really strong. However that strength is gained to blood and pain." Sensei said as he looked in the sky as if remiscing

"The Technique I am using is the famous [Eight Inner Gates]. It is a Hiden Jutsu that the Might Clan but was made public by its leader to further spread the use of Taijutsu. However unlike the original [Eight Inner Gates] I modified it to begin at the Gate of Death or what I called as Heart Gate." Sensei said with confidence

"I researched this revision for a full decade with experimenting on my opponents with Genjutsu and allowing them to follow the way that I researched. And in a stroke of Luck, I finallu managed to actually make the technique stable enough that I wouldn't immediately die after opening the Heart Gate." Sensei continued with a serious expression

"What I didn't forecast was the hardness of opening the other Gates which is why I am still considered an A Rank Ninja. I managed to open the Gate of Shock and Joy." Sensei said with a sense of sadness

"So you haven't actually opened all the Eight Gates?" I asked with doubt

"Are you kidding me?! That is insane! Even the Might Clansmen were barely able to use the normal [Eight Inner Gates] much more if it is my revision which is the [Eight Inner Cycle]. Not only would an individual need hellish training, one must also be prepared to feel the side effect of opeing the First Gate of the Cycle." Sensei exclaimed before calming down."Listen here Saisei, if you are ready to tackle the pain and work for it, I would gladly give it to you. Like those old guys in the Might Clan, I also wish for my way in Taijutsu to live on and don't get stuck in me upto my grave."

Silence descended upon us an neither of us didn't utter a thing. I was contemplating about the pros and cons of the [Eight Inner Cycle]. Even though I have the knowldege on how to further my Sharingan which also gave me the knowldege on the strongest Genjutsu.

While I also got the path on how to be a Sage from Ancestor Serpent which may cover my Ninjutsus. Aside from those inheritance which require gigantic amount of training, I am also developing my own Medical Ninjutsu.

So it is either this unkown [Eight Inner Cycle] or the already known to end in death in its final stage which is the [Eight Inner Gates].

I am planning on infiltrating the Uzumaki Clan for their Sealing Arts. Sarutobi Clan for ther Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu. Find the Kaguya Clan and take absorb their Kekkei Genkai.

Then there is the plan of taking the blood sample from Madara and Hashiram who might have already met. Then there is the Tailed Beasts thingies.

Not only that but I still need to get my revenge against the Yamanaka, Akimichi, and Nara Clan for their actions. Not only that but I also need to punsih the individual or grouped that hired those three clans.

*Fuck It! This is just making my head spin! [Eight Cycle Gates] or [Eight Inner Gates]....hmmm...you know what Fuck it! I am going to gamble to this untested technique and hope that I would not die in the process.* I though as a cloud of depression was slowly forming in my head as I was thinking about the things I need to do in the future

"*sigh* I don't know if I would regret this! Alright Sensei! I am willing to learn your technique!" I said as looked at Sensei with resolve
