A Saiyan In The Multiverse Chapter 16: Chapter16: Naruto's First Real Mission

According to the mission, Naruto's team 7, was tasked to protect and escort a bridge builder named Tazuna. Along the way I was chatting with Naruto about tactics and strategies that come along with a giant chakra pool like ours. I may have started with a small amount because I never knew how to mold it but as I trained it grew with my Ki and physical strength. I told Naruto to pay attention to little things because certain situations can be seen even in the most miniscule of details. I told him to keep track of the weather, know the topography and to keep track of his supplies. Naruto nodded as he was counting his tools in his bag. While tallying he saw a scroll that said "For Sage-chan, From Kushina". He handed me the scroll and saw that she sealed food in there because Minato must have told her I was accompanying Naruto on this mission. I put it away in my satchel. I didn't want to draw too much attention to myself from practicing my Ki so I used chakra instead. It started to look like a bijudama so I stopped immediately. I sighed and continued walking without practicing.

When he finished organizing his tools Naruto spotted a puddle on the floor. Naruto poked my arm then hinted at the puddle. I nodded with a smirk. To think that the same thing would happen as in the original story. Good thing I didn't alter the story too much. What surprised me more was the fact that Naruto spotted the puddle first. I am happy he wasn't the hyper dumba.s.s from the original and thought first before he acted.

Sage: (I nodded) I know.

Naruto: (Whispering) Sage-nii, what do we do?

Sage: (Whispering) Wait until he makes a move. Make sure to immobilize him for questioning, ok?

Naruto: (Whispering) Gotcha.

Naruto readied a sickle and chain but pulled it out while pretending to still fix his supplies while walking. I sensed that he actually infused the weapon with chakra to make it stronger. Color me impressed. It looks like Minato and Kushina are strict with Naruto when it comes to training. I laughed hard inwardly as I made Naruto far stronger than the original. My smirk became apparent to the rest of the team and Tazuna. They looked confused as to why I was smirking. They just looked at each other and continued on their way. The only one who was aware other than Naruto was of course, Kakashi. The Kirigakure ninja finally made their move. Like in the original they aimed at Kakashi first and pretended to be killed. They went after me as well but I also played the fool just to watch Naruto in action. Naruto knew Kakashi and I were not so weak as to be a one hit kill.

The Kirigakure ninja that popped out of the puddle that went after Tazuna was met with the weight of Naruto's chain straight to the forehead protector. The Kirigakure ninja was dis...o...b..bulated from the heavy chakra infused blow. Naruto then spun the chain around him from neck to feet, the enemy ninja was tied up and subdued. The second Kirigakure ninja that went after me and Kakashi popped out of the tree. Sasuke, too surprised by Naruto's reaction, skill and execution, was. .h.i.t heavily by the second enemy- nin. Sasuke was knocked back but quickly got up to retaliate. Naruto made shadow clones to cover Tazuna, Sakura and the captured ninja then flashed behind the enemy-nin with a Rasengan in hand and hit the other enemy-nin in the back. Again Sasuke was shocked as Naruto took care of the situation before he could even make a move. Naruto took another chakra infused chain and sickle to tie up the other Kirigakure ninja. I stepped out of the shadows giving Naruto the slow clap.

Naruto: Sage-nii, how did I do?

Sage: That was awesome Naruto. Way better than what I expected. Good thing our s.p.a.ce comprehension training is paying off.

Naruto was never the type to be called a genius but when it comes to hard work and repet.i.tion there are few who are better. I also told him that with the shadow clones he can train harder and faster. So when we train it looks like an army training. Too bad that it doesn't apply to the gravity training. The more he splits up the more his chakra is divided and can't get enough to resist the gravity. So far Naruto can go up 5X normal gravity while I am at a bottleneck trying to break through Super Saiyan at 200X. If Master Roshi from the first series of Dragon Ball can blow up the moon with a power level of 150 to 200 and Vegeta blowing up a planet in the Dragon Ball Z series at a power level of 16,000 to 18,000, I can only estimate my power level at 200,000 to 300,000 because I can already go into Pseudo Super Saiyan which has a 50X multiplier, I can even take it further by going True Saiyan which gives a 100X multiplier. A Zenkai boost or 2 will bring me over the hurdle. I will save that until before Naruto goes for his Chuunin exams. Right now I'm only on cruise control until Kaguya gets here. Then I can move to other planets. If I fully master s.p.a.ce and learn time I can probably go to other universes, hopefully. But keeping my power in check is such a ha.s.sle, that's why I walk around with at least a 120X gravity on me, but I do be careful who or what I touch though. So far this world has been a sight-seeing tour until I can ensure my departure. Until then having fun takes priority.

From Naruto's reaction to the point he subdued the Kirigakure ninja, I noticed that Sasuke was never put into Naruto's eyes as a rival. As for Sakura, the look she had when she found out that the person of her affection went from hero to Justin Bieber, made me laugh so hard I nearly blew up the side of the road. The jade green forest took slight damage but ultimately was left undamaged. I took the captive ninjas back to Konoha through Instant Transmission for interrogation and gave a report to Minato, then flashed back to Naruto.

Kakashi: What did the Hokage say?

Sage: He said to proceed with the mission, but the ranking will be changed from D to B. This mission will be doubled as a training mission for Sakura, Sasuke and Naruto.

Kakashi: Then we will proceed with caution. (Turned to Naruto) Naruto, I noticed you discovered the enemy first, what made you realize they were here?

Naruto: When I asked Sage-nii on what to look out for when going on missions alone, which he does all the time, he said to keep track of the weather, topography and my own supplies. I knew that there hasn't been any rain for a few weeks now, so when I saw a giant puddle, it couldn't have been more obvious.

Kakashi: I see, you have been taught well. (I can't believe he already learned the Rasengan and Flicker techniques, Kakashi thought) Sasuke, it was a good try but you have to pay more attention to your surroundings. Sakura, you did good trying to cover Tazuna but you let your guard loosen when Naruto took down the first enemy-nin. Naruto even covered for you and Sasuke while still holding down the enemy-nin. If you guys don't shape up, Naruto will leave you in the dust.

Sasuke & Sakura: Yes Kakashi-sensei!

Kakashi: So Tazunsan, what is it you are not telling us?

Tazuna explained what was going on and why he needed to have guards to build a bridge. He provided an adequate explanation for lying about the mission's difficulty level, Tazuna reveals his desire to build a bridge to save the impoverished Nami no Kuni, Land of Waves, from the wealthy shipping-magnate Gato. We took the explanation and felt we needed to help them. I will finally see Zabuza and see if the Kubikiribōchō is worth taking.
