2 Chapter 2

(MC POV)

A small dog licks a small stream of dark red blood, it clogs together like lava, dark and bubbly like some type of acid. The innocent dog just looks absentmindedly into the sky under the influence of a basic genjutsu. It's large tongue laps up the blood as it whimpers at the change in it's body.

An abrupt growth in chakra causes the dog to swell in size, dark red lines form strange patterns on the back of the dog in the symbol of devil horns. The snout of the dog grows longer and thicker with sharp metal like teeth lined up in it's mouth. His ears grow upwards pointing towards the sky with the tips pitch black as the midnight sky.

In a dark menacing growl the dog, no, wolf, howls up at the sky with a loud demonic shriek startling many birds and other wildlife. My hand courses over the dark red and black fur of the irregular wolf as it brushes it's head against my face. Yes this wolf is taller then I am standing at the height over 7 feet.

Just like my hawk this wolf has a large chakra capacity similar to that of humans, it's physical strength is incredible surpassing regular creatures and bordering on the level of strong summons specifically breed to serve clans such as the Uchiha, Inuzuka and Aburame.

Suddenly I feel a mental transmission coming from the hawk I have used <Blood Possession> on before now. The sight of my right eye changes perspective and I share my vision with my hawk.

Different from before my vision is far better than earlier, many shinobi are in combat in two groups. The one on the right is wearing forehead protectors belonging to Konohagakure and the group on the right is wearing forehead protectors belonging to Iwagakure.

A smile crawls up my face making it scrunch unnaturally as I look directly down at a man covered in some type of gold and iron alloy. Both of his arms are covered in sharp pieces of metal rotating like a drill as he splits open the bodies of my "fellow" shinobi. I recognize this man...his name is Gaki a famous jonin from Iwagakure know for his unique kekkei genkai called Steel Release.

Well isn't that simply extremely convenient for me now. I am perhaps the greatest counter to Gaki, none of his attacks can hurt me due to <White Gyrate> and any of my wind release infused kenjutsu strikes will make his head roll of his body. Of course that's assuming he can even hit me with <Pale Streak> boosting my reaction speed by several multitudes.

[Mission: Kill Gaki (0/1). Reward: <Internal Steel Coating>]

I assume that there are missions to kill other people at around jonin level too, if so then I'll definitely need to go on a hunt for them. Ever since I've graduated I have keep a low profile, after all I didn't have any type of sensei nor did I apprentice under anyone, because of this my strength is completely unknown to Konohagakure.

This unfortunately cannot continue, gaining rewards from completely missions is simply too profitable, just the reward for this mission is extremely extravagant. How many jutsu are capable of protecting important organs? These types of techniques are rare and valuable being highly sought after by every ninja, but just by killing some wayward jonin I can get such a useful technique? I would be idiotic to not at the very least complete this mission.

With that in mind I climb onto the back of my black and red covered dog saddling his back as I pet the back of his neck.

"I suppose I never gave you a name, let's see. I will name you Okami."

A low growl comes from his snout as I share my vision with him and manually take control over Okami's body. With a powerful charge Okami runs in a direct line towards the location my hawk is currently scouting, multiple trees, rocks and plants are crushed, torn and snapped under the heavy weight of my blood steed.

Surprising my new favorite mode of transportation is extremely fast allowing me to arrive at the bloody scene in just a few minutes, in just this short amount of time Okami traveled over 100 kilometers even with the added weight of me. The pungent smell of blood, iron and fire wafts through the air causing Okami to stagger in disgust. I get off Okami's back making sure to completely dull my presence to lower the chance of my enemies dodging my sneak attack.

My hand is placed tightly on the hilt of my sword as I sneak up on one of the Iwagakure chunin about to kill a newly graduated genin who looks to be barely 12. I take a deep breath as the wind changes around my hand, light whisps of white chakra float around it like physical light particles. In a bright flash of blinding white the entire body of the Iwagakure jonin, from the top of his head to the place where he is genital is, falls into two pieces.

The young genin screams in horror as he watches me coldly looking down on him with a body split directly in the middle in front of me as if what I had just done wasn't traumatizing. White flakes of chakra pile on the outline of my body as my hair glows white like the pale snow that piles up every winter in Konohagakure.

"Get that ridiculous look off your face, to sit here and cry like some child at the sight of death is beneath the demeanor of a shinobi of Konohagakure."

Turning my head just a few degrees I feel the edge of a kunai lightly brush one of my hairs. A cruel and ruthless smile splits my face in half making me look like some kind of snow demon. My hand rises as I put my sword directly in line with my nose as chakra burst from my body in the shape of a twisting tornado.

I take a quick look at the man who threw the kunai, he no longer looks as confident as before with multiple beads of sweat dripping down from his neck.

"There are around 15 of you correct? Hehe, I better get a good amount of contribution points for this I don't believe the 3rd will be ungrateful no?"

Wind builds up around me causing the chunin to not even be able to get closer without being pushed away by the powerful current.
