Yuuma meeting Karen (Daimyo Daughter)

"So the Mizukage has sent a recommendation for you to take part in the Chunin Exam that will take place in Kumogakure" Mei mentioned this for Yuuma while they followed the Daimyo so they could meet the target of protection for the day and also Mei's last mission as team captain. Yuuma was still not informed about his sister's new post or the plans she had for him in the future.

"It's a shame it will be the last time I get to see you as my personal guard Mei-chan" The Daimyo sighed as he stopped in front of the door on the left, he knocked gently. "Karen, Honey, can I come in? The two people you asked for came" Just as the Daimyo was about the pull open the door, the door was yanked open with force with an excited looking girl. "Could it Mei-sama!?" Karen looked towards Mei with reverence, even Yuuma was taken aback by her enthusiasm

"Good morning Miss Karen, I am Mei Terumi, this is my little brother Yuuma Terumi who will be in charge of your safety today" Mei introduced herself and Yuuma to Karen, when Karen turned to look at Yuuma she was mesmerized at how beautiful his eyes appear for her. "Pleased to meet you both, at last, I really wanted to meet the infamous Mei Terumi for a long time!" Karen spoke with Mei while Yuuma took out a rubber ball starting his training, it was by the time the ball explode that everyone took out their weapons aiming at Yuuma who was looking at his palm intently.

"Oh! Nothing just training" Yuuma answered but with all honesty, he did it on purpose as he was getting irritated by the killing intent he felt from Toshinori who was watching them from a distance. Mei too realized this but since it was her last mission she will soon no longer have anything to do with him so there was no need to put him in her eyes anymore. "As requested, I hope Yuuma will take responsibility to protect Karen in her tour around the Shinobi Village while I will be meeting the Mizukage" The Daimyo spoke while giving a meaningful glance to Mei who nodded.

During their trip, Yuuma was getting the hang of his training so he put the rubber ball in his pants pocket while he looks at his palm while manipulating his chakra to condense a spiralling sphere above his hand, Mei who saw this was shocked to see that he managed to do something like this even Karen was curious to see what it was since it looked so beautiful but Mei kept her away. After Yuuma stopped supplying the sphere with chakra did it simply broke down slowly before disappearing into particles.

"To think you would train even during Missions" Daimyo spoke with an admiring look in his eyes as he gazes at Yuuma, Yuuma smiled back at him "Well it a habit of mine since it helps me keep focus during the mission and its something I could do to pass by time since I am not that social" Yuuma explained while the Daimyo nodded feeling he could understand, Yuuma felt he only needed to practically use the sphere to see if it works before he would try a different shape transformation.

"Yuuma, what was that sphere you created?" Karen asked Yuuma while the two of them were walking around the Village with him being her bodyguard and guide, "Well it's an advanced shape transformation technique which transforms the shape of the chakra within our bodies, there are records of someone else who managed to create a similar technique as well but since I had no way of learning of this I could only figure things out on my own"

Karen was not interested in anything other than hearing Yuuma talk with her which made her quite happy as she could gaze into the two eyes that she was fond of, but just as she was about to ask something Yuuma took hold of her left wrist and lightly pulled her to his other side but he never expected an accomplice as two children wearing shredded clothes ran past them.

Karen who was shocked saw the children and the first thing she did was check her belongings as her father once taught her that the poor in the area are prone to pickpocket to survive, so naturally, Karen was not bothered but today she brought a special talisman that belonged to her mother today in hopes to gain some luck. "No..." She muttered as she felt the location where the talisman was left in was empty, Yuuma did not need to be told twice as he lifted Karen onto his back before sprinting in the direction of the two boys.

Meanwhile, from a distance on top of the roofs were two samurais wearing a black tight suit with silver-plated chest armour, pauldrons and shin guards with two swords at the side of their hops. "To think the bosses plan would go so easy" One of the samurais spoke with a smirk while the other one giggled while licking his sharp nails, "I will follow them and you will notify the boss to start the next phase" The samurai with the sharp nails ran after Yuuma and Karen who were following the slum boys.

"Yuuma why are you carrying me!?" Karen was blushing beet red not able to endure the embarrassment of Yuuma carrying her on his back which was immoral in her view, Yuuma smiled wryly "It's the only way to take you with me, otherwise I would have had to leave you alone in that dangerous place while chasing the kids" Hearing Yuuma's reasoning Karen pouted feeling disappointed that Yuuma was not feeling happy carrying a cute girl like her.

When Yuuma realized they entered the more unruly district of the Village did his eyes squint as he looks at the men surrounding him, "No need to hold grudges boy, it's business" One of the men muttered. Yuuma smirked, "So you would lay your hands on the daughter of a Daimyo?" Hearing this the men began to laugh, "We were paid enough to leave this godforsaken place, so killing you and the girl. Who will be able to know that the one who killed her is us unless we can make it appear you killed her"

'As I thought' Yuuma felt gloomy as he could already guess who was behind this entire incident as it was the only one who would target him personally especially Karen, "Karen?" Karen was shocked to hear Yuuma's composed voice since she was shivering from fear but hearing his voice calmed her down, "Y-Yes?" Yuuma smiled warmly at her, "Relax" Yuuma spoke the words while he placed Karen under a genjutsu as the next thing he could not allow her to see.

"I am happy you guys arrived when you did since I needed confirmation about a new technique I was training in" Yuuma spoke while a chakra spiralling sphere materialized above his palm, seeing the sphere the men became serious "Shinobi!" They took a step back since their job never mentioned a shinobi but it was already too late, Yuuma controlled his chakra to glue Karen against his back so both hands were free.

"Experimentation: Number Zero..." Yuuma muttered as his body disappeared from the men's view, the next moment they saw him was when one of their companions crashed into the nearby wall with his clothes shredded and his chest caved in with an unnatural spiral wound. "HIII!!!" Some of them scrambled for their lives not daring to come again, Yuuma did not chase after them since they were only pawns.

"Never expected the little brother of Mei Terumi would be so ruthless even to a civilian" The Samura spoke while licking his sharp index fingernail, "Same could be said about you and your boss, to actually put the Daimyo's Daughter in danger for a petty grudge" Yuuma turned to face the Samurai, "You can put the girl down, as a Samurai I will face you head on" The samurai spoke but Yuuma did not trust him but fighting with Karen on his back will be a distraction, so he reluctant placed her a bit further away from the dead corpse.

When Yuuma was about to turn around he felt the samurai already drew his sword to attack him, but Yuuma was ready for him when he twists his body around while a chakra spiralling sphere formed within his grasp as he smashes the sphere into the sword the Samurai, upon coming contact with the spinning sphere the samurai felt his sword going out of his control of wanting to spin but he held on till the sphere exploded forcing him to take a few steps back.

When the samurai regained his balance he noticed Yuuma was standing with his right side facing him, when Yuuma turned his head to the right to look at the samurai a smile form on his face. "Demonic Illusions: Fourth Heaven - Sun" Yuuma waved his hand as the surroundings for the Samurai turned into incredible burning surroundings, there was no oxygen to breathe for him. His skin was melting, he jumped running around in hopes to find a place where there is a cool surface but soon he lost the feeling of his legs as it melted away.

Yuuma smirked as he watches the lunatic screaming like he was a pig being slaughtered, but since it was going to be boring if he finishes it so soon so he cancelled the genjutsu he placed on the samurai. The feeling of a cool breeze caused him to involuntary take a deep breathe, feeling the familiar oxygen entering his lungs made the Samurai check his surroundings only to understood he fell in a genjutsu 'I underestimated the brat and let my guard down' The Samurai thought but when he tried to stand up was when he realized, for a while now he could no longer feel his legs.

"You brat what have you done to me!?" The Samurai yelled causing more and more people to gather around them but Yuuma only glances at him with a smirk not saying a word, "You attacked a samurai! The land of Iron will ask for an explanation for this!" hearing the Samurai finally losing his mind this Yuuma turn to look in a certain direction where Toshinori and Mei appeared for a while now.

The samurai did not realize his boss already arrived at the scene so he kept shouting out insults along with threats, each insult and threat he uttered caused Toshinori's face to become incredibly dark because the Daimyo was brought here as well with Mei Terumi which he did not want to have originally but the Daimyo was persistent and Mei worked together so he had no choice but the scene right now, completely destroyed his and the Land of Iron's reputation 'How am I going to explain this to the General' He thought.

Yuuma shook his head ignoring the Samurai as he removes the genjutsu from Karen while making sure her view is blocked from the dead corpse, "Yuuma? Where are we? I thought we were having a date--- No I thought we were eating lunch?" Karen blushed as she corrected herself, Yuuma pretended like he did not hear a thing as he explained, "Apologies Miss Karen, I had to place you under a genjutsu as I did not want you to witness something not fit for your age"

Karen pouted as she believed she was the same age as Yuuma so what could possibly be not fitting for her age, "To think you would care that much" Karen turned to look at her left side seeing her father walking with a smile, she ran towards him with a firm hug "Father!" Karen called out, "Hoho, good girl" Daimyo caresses her hair while looking at her with fatherly loved eyes before he glances at Yuuma, "Thank you" Yuuma nodded as he glances at the boy who arrived to hand over the Talisman to Karen after apologizing.

"Now then... Who wishes to explain what happened?" The Daimyo asked with a furious voice.
