Naruto: Systematic Shinobi

Chapter 194: Mist Shadow Booty - 1

The entrance to the Hidden Village In The Mist, if it could really technically be called that, was a port. Unlike Konoha that was completely surrounded by large walls, the Mist Village was technically the entire island.

There was a large circular buildings spread out around the port, and quite a few ships were docked there as well.

It made sense, as a village of the land of water and their territory being an archipelago of islands, that most of their trade and clients would come by ways of sea faring.

A glance with the Shinkugan, was all it took to confirm the contents the buildings at the port, the vast majority of them being storage buildings, which again made sense, one larger spherical building stood out though.

From peering inside it, he could see it was an administrational building of some sort, and he was sure he even saw a mission room quite like the one back in Konoha.

"Konoha shinobi," a man dressed in the dark blue padded Mist chunin gear addressed them as they made land on the port, "You're a long way from home." he stated in leu of greeting, his eyes eyeing the headband tied around Daiki's waist like a belt suspiciously.

'Are we really though?' Daiki resisted the urge to snort. He could be back home in an hour or two easily if he really wanted to gun it back.

Daiki eyed Anko from the corner of his eye, but she didn't say a thing. She only raised an eyebrow at him.

Yeah, he was in charge of this mission in totality it seemed. And honestly, a little bit of thought into her presence on this mission, told him she wasn't just his babysitter and back up.

She was evaluating him and would be reporting his performance back to old man third. Which probably also meant everything he'd done up until now, from his actions taking Kubikiribocho, what he'd told her about it, him killing that missing ninja and of course what he'd do here at the Mist Village.

Honestly, that was fine with him.

Time to turn on that charm.

"That we are my friend," Daiki gave the Mist chunin a winning debonairly handsome smile, "My name is Daiki, Daiki Yurei, you might have heard of me, or you will at least in the future if you haven't yet. I and my beautiful companion are envoys of the Leaf and are here to meet with the Mizukage." he bowed his head ever so slightly respectfully while maintaining eye contact.

Nailed it.

And then he peered straight into the mans mind.

'Fucking leaf hippies, look at this hoity toity rich looking little fucker, probably never worked a hard day in his life.' the man snorted derisively within the safety of his mind.

Isobu snorted.

Daiki just maintained his winning smile, 'If this goes through and sours, he dies first.' he thought.

"I see, then wait here, I will announce your arrival to my superiors." the Mist chunin said aloud, turning away and as he did, Daiki stared straight through his torso and saw him making a single hand seal, though it was not one for moulding chakra.

He left a moment later, leaving both him and Anko on the port, but all around him he could feel eyes on them.

"Anbu." Anko noted, crossing her arms.

Yeah, that would do it. They were pretty well hidden to the naked eye. Too bad for them, he had the Shinkugan.

"Twelve of them." Daiki nodded.

He didn't call his doujutsu the All Seeing Scarlet Eye for no reason after all.

"A standard full platoon then, probably a usual guard for their port." Anko hummed.

That made sense. Them, alongside the multitude of chunin in the dozens spread throughout the port buildings working in the buildings and on guard, meant they had quite a decently large force protecting their port at all times.

His eyes flickered up, peering into the sky above. Where he could see a large thin dome of chakra that encapsulated the entirety of the island. A sensory barrier, just like Konoha's.

It was bigger than Konoha's, yet thinner.

It would cost quite a hefty amount of chakra to maintain such a barrier, and the Mist village weren't well known for their chakra powerhouses beyond the odd one here and there, Kiri was more known for its weapon wielders.

Such a barrier could never sense him if he was trying to hide. And in fact, despite its size, would be a liability in trying to sense someone within populated areas.

That size, from what he could tell with his eyes sacrificed quality for range. He supposed he could understand, they had to monitor the entirety of their territory and a few concessions had to be made.

'Note to self, when I become Hokage I need to see about making sure our barrier corps are up to snuff.' Daiki thought. Perhaps he could look into using the chakra amplification seal once he mastered it himself, to augment the machines the barrier corps used to create, maintain and use the village sensory barrier?

Actually, that brought up the question of what he should do with the Ray Bow once he was done with it. He had no need for it personally. The Marlin Harpoon was going to Tenten of course.

But the Ray Bow, he wasn't sure if he should give it to her. Sure, she was probably the best marksmen in his generation and probably actually one of the best in the village despite her age-

But, with the sheer range of the Ray Bow from his estimates and its versatility, it would make a mean combo with the Byakugan.

Sure the Byakugan was inferior to his Shinkugan, but its range was still far beyond anybody else's when it came to length of sight. And as such, had much more potential with such a weapon for attacking from incredibly long ranges.

So a Hyuuga.

Which meant Hanabi or Hinata.

Hinata was a cool girl and she was doing way better now than her self from the other timeline, and the Ray Bow would really be a big help to her. And she was a good friend.

But…Hanabi was his apprentice, his student, his shoulder loli minion of epic doom. And she was younger, so her fighting style had more room for things to be added in compared to Hinata who was turning fifteen soon, a full year or so older than him.

'Actually, it's my birthday soon.' Daiki blinked and realised. He'd completely forgotten. In fact, it was Naruto's birthday tomorrow, October tenth and then his was November first.

He'd be turning fourteen in three weeks, a little after the Chunin exams ended.

…Neat.
