The Sharingan Hyuga - Volume 1 Chapter 22 Scroll Of Task Part 2 Battle With Black Crocodiles Part 2

He went to the market and bought some other things which he deemed necessary. He put everything in his Big luggage back.

After going to the same place, he activated his byakugan to check a crocodile. After finding a lone crocodile, he silently went and threw the finishing, It struggled a bit and ripped the net a bit but by the time it was able to free itself, it was already dragged away from the shore.

When it was free. It didn’t dare to look at who caught it but it directly tried to move to the river becasue of its survival instincts.

Just then, Shuichi caught his crocodile with his chakra arms. and threw it towards a big rock few metres away from him.

It crashed on to the rock and fell. He dashed towards it

“Hakke Hasangeki – Eight Trigrams Mountain Crusher”. Its a variation of Air palm he created himself but it needs a user to be at a close range by hitting an enemy with a powerful wave of chakra created by their palm, which sends them back and make severe damage. But since it’s just a crocodile out of the land with no chakra, and not to mention, it was already on a dead end with a big rock behind it. it was instantly dead.

He dug it’s green eyes out. “sweet. The fourth one is completed. Now 8 more to go”. But just then, with his Byakugan he saw three people on a boat and three to four crocodiles surrounded them.

He instantly stood up and ran towards them.

within just a few seconds he reached the shore and saw that the crocodiles are swimming around the boat. Once in a while, a crocodile is attacking but the man defending them with an Oar. They were the same family who he saw earlier while he’s having breakfast.

He instantly jumped on the water and ran towards them. A crocodile broke the oar. as the boat was unstable, It made the man and the boy stumble and fell into the water. Two crocodiles who saw that instantly opened their big mouth to bite their heads.

While they were instantly filled with fear. The crocodiles didn’t get to bite either the boy or the man. because in front of them, a 12-year-old shinobi stood and took the bite on both of his shoulders.

he grimaced with pain. “What are you looking. get on the boat quickly and go away from here”.

He was able to squeeze that words from his mouth before another crocodile bites his left arm from the side.

“Argh”. Blood is oozing out from his body and as they get on the boat and went a little bit far away. another crocodile bit his leg.

“Dammit. you little shit of reptiles. leave me”. He gathered chakra but found out that he can’t spin so he protected his arms while trying to free himself. with the help of chakra arm, he threw the third one which was biting his arm. he tried to move the ones from his shoulders. but they just kept hold on. He somehow freed himself from the fourth one by moving and jumping around. He’s screamed with pain when the two black crocodiles who bit his shoulders and continued to pierce his skin further.

even with such pain, he gathered his strength to move his both hands “Shadow clone jutsu”. A shadow clone appeared and it jumped up. When it’s in the air, it emitted chakra and covered his arm. but unlike past, this time it looked very sharp.

He swung it at both the crocodile necks “Slash of the crescent moon”

From above, A dark brownish-purple chakra sword arm slashed down an arc which resembled a crescent moon from distance. it immediately cut their heads off in an instant.

Meanwhile, The Anbu who was observing was in distress after watching him protecting them with his body and seeing crocodiles biting him, Anbu wanted to help but chose to stand down after remembering Hokage’s orders. But later was amazed when the Anbu saw Shuichi awakened three tomoe sharingan and that weird sword made of chakra.

Later, after the couple didn’t found at the river, they thought he died. So, they asked for help. With the help of other villagers, they checked the whole place but never found a human body instead they found a couple of crocodile dead bodies. They sighed with relief thinking he was safe.

Meanwhile, at a cave, Shuichi who bandaged himself slept till morning. He was surprised to find extra bandages and ointments as well as some fruits near him. He shouted, “Thank you Anbu”.

Then he opened the scroll of Task. “I’m a bit injured right now. So, anything that required a battle wouldn’t do. I should see these which don’t require battle at all”.

After changing his bandages again, he travelled directly to the capital city in the Transformation of an ordinary young man in mid-twenties as a merchant. He stayed there for an entire week. after that, he changed back and went towards Fire Temple.

He sighed while walking “this is why those tasks are troublesome. Just two of them took me 7days. well, can’t do anything about it. posing as a merchant getting a successful transaction is hard. as no one would just believe a stranger and working as a waiter in a restaurant to spy on that Mercenary took me some time to gather every information. perhaps, it is to check my qualification whether in the future I can do spy missions or not?”.

“Ok, this task is quite troublesome. But it’s also quite easy if everything goes smooth”.

A few hours later, He soon reached the Fire temple.

There are a huge number of steps before a Big door to enter the temple.

Before the steps, He was sighted with graveyard and a young boy who has hair unlike a monk sweeping the ground.

After he found out someone was coming, he stopped him “Hey, who are you?”. Shuichi looked at him coldly for a second and didn’t answer while continuing his way to the steps.
