Ahhh…
My head hurt as I groggily opened my eyes and looked around.
I was in a very dark place because I could barely see any light. I stood up and started wandering around to look for this place. I walked aimlessly for a while, but I could not see the exit or the entrance to this place.
"Where am I?"
I screamed loudly but there was no response.
"Is there anyone here? Shisui, can you hear me? If anyone can hear me, answer me. Hello, is anyone here?”
I started moving around the place while constantly yelling looking for someone to answer me. I began to recall the incident before fainting as I sharpened my memory.
'We're on a mission to kill a leader of a local organization. We successfully completed the mission…..'
Memories begin to flow in my mind as I recall events.
'Kazuko was killed by a spy and Mami also died at the hands of a Kumo ninja.'
Tears were dripping down my face as I recalled these memories.
'After that I….' I sharpened my memory but I can't seem to remember anything after Mami died.
Aahs... My head hurts. I held my forehead as I felt a stabbing pain in my head.
'Huh!'
My gaze turned to my hand as I activated my Sharingan. No trace of the 'Seal Seals'. I checked again but I was unable to find the seal.
'Did the seal disappear by itself?'
I feel good when I think of something like that. The strange seal sucked up most of my Chakra so I only had a little. I can't even do a strong jutsu after getting the seal. As I try to insert the Chakra to perform the jutsu, the seal will trigger and begin to absorb my Chakra.
'Thank God! I got rid of that strange seal. Now the real question is: Where am I?'
There is no trace of any living thing here and all I can see is total darkness.
'Wait 'wait! darkness and no sign of anyone. I started to remember the scene when Naruto first met Kurama. He is also in the same place, although his mindscape looks similar to a sewage system. So, am I inside my Mindscape?'
As soon as I thought about this, the darkness began to fade and I appeared in a completely white room.
'This room looked similar to the room where I first met God when I died. Am I dead again?'
I immediately started looking around to find God. But there is no sign of God. My attention was drawn by some glowing balls in the middle of the room and I walked towards them.
Nine balls of different colors were floating in the middle of the room. I started checking them as I got closer. The color of the ball is red, cyan, yellow, brown, blue, gray, transparent white, deep black, and white. After a close examination, I concluded that they represented different elements that I had unlocked.
I urged the pitch-black ball to move towards me. The ball floated in front of me as I touched it.
A vast knowledge of the Dark element appeared in my mind. I began to digest information as I quickly mastered the element. After an unknown time, the,
'So, this is the element of darkness. I have learned the basics of the element of darkness. I just need to train him to learn more.'
I examined the ball carefully and I saw the symbol of the Sin seal on it.
'yeah! The seal of sin is in the ball of darkness. Don't tell me that's my reason for mastering the dark element. I wonder what this thing is.'
I checked all the other Orbs as well. The knowledge I have accumulated about the various elements so far is fresh back in my mind.
'That's very useful. These balls can be seen as a data bank for various elements. The knowledge I have gathered or learned is stored in these balls and I can remember all the knowledge whenever I want.'
I saw another spiral ball among the other spheres. After examining it, the ball turned out to be an extraterrestrial element.
'So, this is my mindscape. Quite a comfortable place.'
I closed my eyes as I thought about getting out of this place. I was sucked into the gate when I opened my eyes.
Shisui carried me on her shoulders as she ran towards Konoha. There was blood around his eyes. I guess he has developed the Mangekyo Sharingan as well.
“Shisui, I'm fine now. You can stop carrying me. ”
I jumped off Shisui's back while examining my right hand. The broken bone has been repaired and all the wounds and muscle tears have healed. I clutched my fist tightly to make sure.
"Yes I'm fine. Let's go back to the village and report this matter to Hokage.”
“We lost Kazuko and Mami on this mission. Your instincts are right nii-san, this mission is at least A-rank or even S-rank. Also, that betrayal..” Shisui clenched his hand.
“Nii-san, what jutsu did you use earlier? It was very strong.” Shisui began to tell about the incident.
'Things like that happened after I lost consciousness.'
I looked into my right hand as I activated my Sharingan. 'The 'seal of sin' is still there. I activated my Mangekyo Sharingan to understand the seal more deeply. What do I see that confuses me? There were strange black chains around my hands as they held the seal in place. I tried to touch it but my hand went through it. I checked carefully and I could see some fluctuations in the space around the chain.
The chain comes from a separate dimension. I inserted the Space element Chakra in my hand as I touched the chain knot. Sparks of fire ignited from the chain as the knots repelled my hand. It seems like my understanding of space is still too shallow to interact with separate dimensions.
“Nii-san...nii-san, are you listening to me?” Shisui started shaking me.
"Ah .. yes .. yes, I listen."
I showed him my Mangekyo Sharingan as I spoke,
“That is the power of my Mangekyo Sharingan. I woke them up when I saw Kazuko and Mami dead.”
I lied to Shisui for being too troublesome to explain in detail to her.
“I have also awakened Mangekyo Sharingan.”
Shisui activated her Mangekyo as she showed it to me.
“Shisui, listen! No matter what the case may be; don't point out or use your Mangekyo Sharingan in front of anyone. Use only in emergencies. These eyes are cursed, You will become blind if you use them excessively. You are smart enough to think about the rest. ” I warned Shisui.
“Yes, Nii-san. I'll remember it.”
We reached the village and I ordered Shisui to visit the hospital while I reported the matter to the Hokage.

Inside the Hokage's office, the,
“So, that's the chain of events that happened during our mission. Hokage-sama, I want some answers from you.”
Hiruzen pondered for a moment while sighing,
"Continue! Ask your question?”
"I wonder which elder gave you that information."
“This is one of my old teammates and a trusted partner of Danzo Shimura. I have no doubt about his loyalty to the village. I can guarantee that." Hiruzen replied in a serious tone.
"Thank you! Hokage-sama, I believe your words. I'll go now.” I answered him with my head bowed as anger burned in my eyes.
“Izuna, you are a ninja. Death often occurs during missions. This is the norm of the world, I'm sure you will be able to move on from this event. We ninjas barely live past our thirties because lives are lost every day. ” Hiruzen tried to explain some understanding to Izuna.
“Yes, Hokage-sama. I'll remember it.” I replied with a soft voice.
“Also, the war is about to start. Your services will be needed at the border. I expected great things from you during the war.”
-------------------
Inside the basement, at Root's headquarters,
Danzo sat in his chair as the pig-masked Anbu gave him a scroll. After reading the report, Danzo smashed the armrest of the newly replaced Chair as she bellowed furiously, shouting,
"Damn! Twenty elite anbus. Twenty elite anbus from my roots were killed in that mission. Even their bodies were not found. Do any of you have an explanation for this?”
“Danzo-sama! Of the four people, two genin were killed in the mission. Two Uchiha who were involved in the mission survived. Maybe, we can arrest them for interrogation about the details.” One of the Anbu suggested.
“No, we don't have time for that. It's okay as long as some people die. ”
Danzo waved his hand and dispersed all of Anbus.
“My goal to cause a conflict between Konoha and Kumo was successful. Now it's time for Iwa. Konoha will be the sole ruler of this world and I will be the only Hokage. Looks like I need to speed up a little.”
