Reborn in Naruto As Madara's Grandson

Chapter 34: The Lost Tower Part-1

The destination of our mission is Roran, the City of Towers. It is a city surrounded by deserts and lies in the Land of Wind.

Hiruzen received a report from one of his spies in the Land of Wind. Anrokuzan the evil minister of Roran is concocting an evil scheme to utilize the Chakra ley line below the city of Roran to amass power and eventually wage war on five nations.

Our mission is to investigate and eliminate Anrokuzan, thus overthrowing his evil schemes. After an hour all of us gather near Konoha's entrance gate as we are ready to depart.

"Izuna, Kakashi! Both of you will scout the city and search for clues regarding the plans of Anrokuzan. Me, Choza, and Shibi will confront the enemy while we guard the Queen Sara of the Roran from shadows."

Minato takes out his special kunais and hands one to both of us.

"Keep this kunai with you. In case of an emergency, I will be able to teleport to you in an instant and help you deal with the problem."

Both of us nods to him and keep the kunai in our kunai holster.

Roran is very far from Konoha. To reach Roran we have to travel through Land of Rivers then enter Land of Winds and further travel in the hot scorching desert to finally reach the destination. Although Roran is surrounded by desert, there is an oasis near it which helps the city with many issues.

Our team of five moves out for the destination. We travel non-stop for seven hours. Choza and Shibi are surprised to see me and Kakashi being able to keep up with them. Unable to hold his curiosity back, Choza asks Minato,

"Minato, these kids can keep up with our speed and stamina especially that younger Uchiha kid. You have done a really job training Kakashi as he is your team member, so you are aware of his capabilities. But what about the Uchiha kid, how do you know him so well?"

Minato chuckles as he replies,

"Choza-san, in the past two years, Izuna had been training with my team regularly. He even skipped academy using a Shadow clone to train with us. I can only say one thing, if Kakashi is a genius then Izuna is a genius among genius. He helped me create my A-Rank Jutsu Rasengan and before I could improve it further Izuna already perfected the Jutsu to an S-rank all on his own.

The most surprising thing is he has enough Chakra to use the S-rank jutsu in an attack and still preserve his Chakra. I can easily say, he can defeat most of the Jounins of our village quite easily. And if caught by surprise, his S-rank jutsu can even take down a Kage-level Shinobi. What he lacks is only experience and I thought that this mission would help him gain some of it."

Choza and Shibi are shocked by this revelation as both of them mutter at the same time,

"What a Monster?"

"Anyway we have traveled for quite a while, let's take some rest to preserve our stamina and we will continue after an hour of rest."

Both of them agree with the decision as we stop and start to recover our stamina.

"Hey, Kakashi! You really missed out on that delicious heavenly ramen. But worry not I have got you covered."

I take out the bowl of hot Ramen from my storage scroll and present it to Kakashi. Kakashi strangely looks at me before he starts to dig in. I wanted to see the face of Kakashi with my own eyes.

In our two years of friendship, I have never ever, even once seen Kakashi without his mask. Well, I have seen his face from the anime but that was when Kakashi is an adult. I want to see how the chibi Kakashi looks like.

I intently stare at Kakashi as I activate my Sharingan and stare at him. I want to record his face in my memories and make a poster of it and distribute it among all of his teammates and friend.

Kakashi takes out the chopstick as he breaks it and gets ready to eat the ramen. My stare intensifies as I wait for the moment. As Kakashi is about to remove his mask and start eating his ramen, I feel a heavy hand on my shoulder.

Startled I turn around as my Sharingan flashes and creeps out the intruder. Choza is startled by my Sharingan as he retreats. I deactivate my Sharingan as I ask him,

"Sorry to startle you Choza-san. Is there anything that I can help you with?"

Choza scratches the back of his head as he inquires me,

"Earlier I saw you giving the hot ramen bowl to Kakashi. So, if you have any extra bowl remaining, can you share it with me?"

"Oh! Only this. I do have a last bowl remaining which I was saving for the future, but there is no point in it. You can have the bowl."

I take out the other bowl of Ramen and hands it over to Choza. He greedily slurps down the ramen as he remark,

"What heavenly ramen? Aahh.So, good. "

I agree with him as I comment,

"Yes, this is the best ramen I have ever eaten. These silky noodles and that shiny broth which slides down your throat and soothes your soul. This is true bliss."

Choza nods as he agrees with me as asks,

"If you don't have any problem, can I ask you a question Izuna-kun?"

I nod to him as I reply,

"As long as it is not something pertaining to our clan secret or any of such sort, I won't mind answering your question."

"It is nothing of that sort. I just wanted to ask you about your Sharingan, if you are fine with answering me. It is pretty unusual to see a weirunusual Sharingan, that too at such a young age."

"Oh, it is nothing secretive. I awakened my Sharingan previous years as I did many life and death mission with many teams and faced the death of many of my comrades which awakened my Sharingan. Father said that my Sharingan is a mutated one and depending on the mutations, they can either mature slowly or mature fast. My Sharingan is the latter one as it matured really fast." I replied to him.

"Oh! That's how it is. Thanks for the ramen, Izuna-kun ."

Minato and Shibi silently hears our conversation, but the shock on their faces is apparent when they saw my Sharingan. They are aware of the fact that many mutations of Kekkai Genkai tend to be harmful to the user and it can even cause death. They looked at me with a strange expression but I ignored it.

'Damn! Kakashi is still eating the ramen. I have to record his face.'

"Thank you for the food."

As I turn around to face Kakashi, the latter had already finished his Ramen as he covered his face with mask again and place the chopsticks and bowl in a scroll.

'F***! Kishimoto and his setting. One day I will unmask Kakashi before everyone.'

I grudgingly look at Kakashi who was confused by my expression.

After an hour is over, we start to run toward the Land of Winds again as the journey is too long.

With our almost non-stop travel, we finally reached Roran, the City of Towers after four days. All of us were exhausted either mentally or physically and we needed a break to recuperate from the fatigue. So, we decided to stay in the oasis outside the Roran as we relaxed.

From a distance, Roran looked like an Obelisk with a broad platform and many spikey structures jutted out of it. The city had a strange design.

I activated my Sharingan to start the telescopic vision paired with X-Ray vision as I peek inside the city. The platform like structure is the walls of the city which blocks the ever-present hot sandy winds from entering the city and the spikey structures are various towers where the people of Roran reside. The highest town in the middle of the city is the Queen's Palace where the Queen Sara of Roran resides.

The entire city had a gothic feel to it with many sky-scraping narrow towers pointed in the sky. I didn't reveal my discovery to them as it is pointless to do so and they will figure it out on their own once we reach near the city.

All of us start to prepare our tents to sleep in the forest. Setting tents would help us sleep in a more relaxed manner. There is no fear of any insects biting us, Shibi is able to contact the insects and ask them to stay away from us.

Minato and I start to set up some detection seals and other seals around our camps to warn us of any threat. Kakashi also helped by placing some traps, in case of an ambush. Shibi just sent his insects out to scout the area, meanwhile, Choza just sat in the tent as he munched down on dry rations like snacks.

We were pretty much set as all of us went to sleep in our tents.
