A month of missions

---Pov Arahi---

After that first mission with Raido and Anko, I took up other tasks traveling from Tanzaku, fighting enemies, and seeing Tsunade to the land of steam on the border of the land of fire. In between missions, I learned Earth Release: Earth Style Rampart (Doton: Dochuu Eigyo): C-rank and Water Release: Water Prison Technique (Suiton: Suijinheki): B-rank. I learned these to better capture and protect myself and they were quite easy to master after all with my talent and them being my affinities it's not surprising.

I amassed a good reputation with the lands surrounding Konoha and in the village itself. I had different teams throughout these missions, I had also gotten ridden of lots of bandits, Now that the war was over those bandits taking advantage of the war to plunder were quickly exterminated. I had visited my mother as well making sure to keep up my part as her son I didn't want to abandon that sweet lady even if in my heart I didn't consider her my real mother. I also perfected my body-flicker, Substittion, and clone jutsu to perfection I could now use them without hand signs I could directly perform this jutsu inside my body like circulating the chakra to make it so I can perform them without hand signs.

I have been just assigned a mission of taking out some more bandits. I will be performing this mission with two people named Haragi Oda and Nanami Shingo two newly promoted Chunin,affinities, one was fire and the other was water. We went to exterminate and capture a little-known bandit group that had been terrorizing our trade routes.

We currently had eyes on them, Arashi put chakra into his eyes and started watching every action the group of 20 bandits made. The bandits set up they had A leader who had an average-looking face and how did I know this was the leader I could sense his chakra size and it was that of a chunin. There were 18 Genin and two Chunin but the leader had more chakra almost that of a Jounin.

They were residing in an old abandoned fort from the war which might be why they haven't been caught, yet hiding in plain sight. I talked to Haragi "Perform a combination jutsu with me and my gale palm see your great fireball" Arahi whispered. "Nanami after we perform this combination engage the other chunin". "This should take care of most of the genin and when we are done with the attack assist Nanami Arashi said to Haragi and kill anyone that lives. They both nodded with determination This was their first mission as Chnin they both wanted to prove themselves.

Arashi and Haragi prepared their jutsu and they both overcharged the jutsu's. A massive burst of firewind surged toward the group of bandits scorching everything in its path. The leader already took notice as well as the second chunin in the group. The attack caught a lot of the genins by surprise and a lot of them were scorched to death or gravely injured.

Nanami swiftly took action, targeting the supporting chunin with her water bullet jutsu. The powerful water projectiles clashed with the chunin's efforts as they engaged in heated combat.

Haragi, demonstrating his proficiency in the combination jutsu, provided support to Nanami in their battle against the chunin adversary. Their synchronized efforts created a formidable force on the battlefield.

Meanwhile, Arashi locked eyes with the bandit leader, a silent understanding passing between them before they engaged in their own intense confrontation. The bandit leader, displaying agility and skill, unleashed a barrage of senbon towards Arashi. In a flash, Arashi moved with precision, flickering into position right in front of the leader, saber poised to strike. His attack was aimed with deadly accuracy, targeting the bandit leader's neck.

In a remarkable display of reflexes, the bandit leader narrowly avoided the saber's deadly edge, the blade missing him by a hair's breadth. In response, he countered with a swift kunai strike, aiming for Arashi's abdomen. Arashi, trained for such situations, deftly parried the blow, creating a brief opening in which the bandit leader retreated to gain some distance.

Seizing the moment, the bandit leader performed a series of hand seals and unleashed a barrage of razor-sharp wind blades toward Arashi. Arashi, quick on his feet, responded with the "Earth Style Wall" jutsu, erecting a protective barrier of solid earth between them. With this barrier serving as a buffer, Arashi summoned ten clones, five of whom rushed towards the bandit leader while the other five moved to assist Nanami and Haragi in distracting the genin in dealing with the genin harassing them so they could finish the battle with the chunin.

Arashi's primary objective was to immobilize the bandit leader within a water prison. He and his five clones approached the leader with determination, as Arashi unleashed a volley of five water bullets while the clones encircled their target. Realizing the impending danger, the bandit leader initiated hand seals and shouted "Great Breakthrough" in an attempt to dispel the water bullets and eliminate the clones. However, he mistakenly believed that the clones were shadow clones.

Unbeknownst to the bandit leader, the original Arashi had swiftly maneuvered behind him, his hands forming the necessary seals for the water prison technique. The bandit leader's realization came too late as he was ensnared by the water prison, leaving him trapped and incapacitated within its watery confines. Haragi and Nanami finished off the genin and the chunin they waited for backup to come before they left and they swiftly returned back to the village. Arashi reputation exceeded him he has been on a roll for the past month.
