Inside Anbu Headquarters, Anbu,
Izuna was holding a call roll from the Hokage Office as she kept her supplies. Captain Team Ro had just given this scroll to him, as he was the only Anbu currently available in the Village.
Kakashi and the others are at the border to solve the riots caused by the evil Shinobi. It has been three months since he joined Anbu and he has completed many missions from assassinations to Information Search.
Izuna left for the Hokage's office while pocketing the scroll.

Inside the Hokage's office, the,
Minato was discussing some matters with Hiruzen when Hiruzen was guiding him on some matters.
"Third Master! Is it okay to send his ex-partner to kill him?" Minato asked Hiruzen
"I don't want to do this either, but we don't have a choice. Most of our capable shinobi are stationed on the border to prevent small skirmishes orchestrated by small villages. Also, I thought they would be the perfect Candidates for the mission." Hiruzen replied to Minato.
Immediately, the door of the Hokage's office opened as three people entered the office.
"Oh! You're finally here, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru." Hiruzen greeted the newcomers.
"Why did you call us here, Sensei? I'm returning to the Village to join the war on your call. I will be back after this mission. I won't stay in the Village for too long." Tsunade grumbled as she folded her hands in front of her chest.
"Oh! Minato's. How did you spend your days as Hokage? Huh! Looks like you're very tired. Sensei, want to have fun with me later? We'll do research together after the mission." Jiraiya laughed as she spoke to Hiruzen and Minato.
"Also! Tsunade, you have to cheer up a little bit or you'll be a granny in a few more years with wrinkles on your face." Jiraiya made fun of Tsunade.
Tsunade had a tick mark on her forehead as she snapped and punched Jiraiya in the head. He angrily looked at Hiruzen who was sweating profusely at this moment.
"Sensei! Why did you call the three of us after the war? I'm sure there must be a reason for this distress call." Orochimaru calmly questioned Hiruzen.
"Wait, for a few minutes. The fourth member for the mission will be arriving soon. After that, I'll start telling you about the details of the mission." Hiruzen replied to Orochimaru while avoiding Tsunade's angry gaze.
Tap ... Tap ...
There's a knock on the door.
"Oh! He has arrived. Come inside." Minato told them.
I knocked on the door while waiting for an answer. Immediately, Minato ordered me to enter.
"You have a mission for me Hokage-sama." I walked straight to Minato as I placed the scroll on his desk.
"Hmm.not that I have a mission for you, but Lord Third issued a mission. I just gave that mission to Anbu and you're the one who took it." Minato was surprised to see me appear for the mission.
"You call me Third Master." I bowed in front of Hiruzen as I waited for his order.
"Hmm. I have an S-rank mission for you. Before I tell you about the mission, let me introduce you to your teammates." Hiruzen pointed towards Sannin as he started the introduction.
"This is the Three Legendary Sannins of Leaf Village. You have to be careful of them. They'll be your teammates for this mission."
I took off my mask as I began to introduce myself to them,
"I'm Izuna Uchiha. An anbu member and I will ask you to call me Tora for this mission." I'm wearing my mask again.
"Oh! He's the same kid, Minato. So, you have joined Anbu. You must have some amazing skills to be able to join Anbu at such a young age." Jiraiya pointed at me as she immediately recognized me.
"Oh! You know him, Jiraiya." Hiruzen asked Jiraiya in surprise.
"Yes! I met him before the war when you called us back to the village. This kid created his own Jutsu S-Rank." Jiraiya talked about me.
"What?" Hiruzen was surprised to hear that. He looked at me for a while before he nodded to himself.
"Fixed, he's a kid. I don't want a child to join us in an S-rank mission and lose his life for no reason." Tsunade interrupted the conversation as she pointed at me.
Orochimaru remained silent during the entire conversation.
"He is Anbu Tsunade. Also, he had earned the nickname 'Silent Shinigami' during the war. It shows his greatness." Hiruzen explained to Tsunade.
“But, sensei...”.
"No, but. It's an order, Tsunade. Also, you will need his help during the mission. He's part of Anbu and an expert in tracking and killing." Hiruzen reprimanded Tsunade as he explained his mission.
"Recently, various reports about the missing shinobi have surfaced in the village. To investigate the matter, Minato and I deployed the Anbu unit. One of our Anbu units found an underground Laboratory where some unethical and forbidden experiments were conducted without the consent of the Village After further investigation, the, the perpetrator is found to be one of your childhood colleagues and friends Hiruko.
Your mission is to uncover his motives if he doesn't comply then kill him. Keep in mind he is practicing Kinjutsu, so you should be vigilant when dealing with him.
Here is the location of the lab. Orochimaru will be your leader for the mission. Good luck with your mission."
Hiruzen gave the scroll to Orochimaru when he rejected us. We all blinked away from the office as we moved towards the village entrance.
Orochimaru led us to the laboratory as we followed him.
"Son, you better stay away from this mission. Such a dangerous mission is not for kids like you. You may lose your life unnecessarily." Tsunade warned.
I was upset by his attitude. I know he cares about me, but we're in the middle of a mission and the Hokage has approved of my skills. Honestly, what's the problem?
'Quick Release: God's Speed'
I disappeared from my position as I reappeared behind Tsunade with a kunai around her neck. Orochimaru and Jiraiya were stunned at my speed. Tsunade was confused, but she calmed down as she commented,
"Although, your speed is impressive for your age. But it's still not enough to beat me."
He turned around and clenched his fists as he tried to punch me. I dodged his punch as he smashed the tree from his punch.
'Genjutsu: Sharingan'
I threw a genjutsu at him to prevent him from attacking me. He easily eliminated my genjutsu after a few seconds.
'Chakras control is perfect. I haven't reached the perfect level yet, but I'm close. Guess the genjutsu of the normal Sharingan cannot affect it and I do not want to use my Mangekyo Sharingan just because of a minor disagreement. I just have to convince him of my skills.'
I started squeezing Chakra in my palm as I formed a seal, I appeared in front of Tsunade as I dodged one of her punches and struck her arm with my palm.
'Fuinjutsu: Chakra Suppressing Seal'
The seal began to spread on his arm as it pressed down on his chakra. Ignoring the seal, he kept punching me. His punch still packs strength despite no chakra. I diverted the shock from his punch to the ground through Shock Release as I ate his punch without jolting.
Tsunade was surprised to see this. I made a Rasengan and added a bit of Lightning Chakra into it and threw it towards Tsunade. My Rasengan disappeared when Tsunade snorted at me.
"Be careful Tsunade, the jutsu is invisible to the eye" Jiraiya warned Tsunade.
Tsunade lowered her head and avoided my Rasengan. I purposely pointed it over Tsunade to avoid her. I don't want to make him tired before the mission.
The explosion…
The Rasengan collided with a nearby tree and destroyed it. It continued and created a huge crater during the impact. Tsunade was shocked to see the damage caused by my jutsu.
"Tsunade, it's an S-Rank jutsu, he created himself. And from the looks of it, it doesn't seem like he's putting enough chakra into the jutsu. He's holding back a lot." Jiraiya told Tsunade, and she turned to me.
"Son, you can use Fuinjutsu. I thought you Uchiha avoided the Non-Uchiha technique. Most of the Uchiha I know about pride in their techniques and refuse to use any other techniques."
"I'm approaching Grandmaster level in Fuinjutsu and I don't discriminate techniques as long as it's not against my morals" I replied to Jiraiya as I walked towards the lab.
"Hold, Son! You have almost reached the level of Grandmaster! I'm just a master. What kind of monster has Minato raised?" Jiraiya complained as she followed me.
"Interesting, very interesting." Orochimaru licked his lips as he looked at Izuna with a hungry look.
A chill ran through my spine as I turned to look at the sinister expression on Orochimaru's face.
