Chapter 13 - 3 years and Uzushiogakure

It's been 3 years since I and Gari joined Explosion corps.

Gari and I spent two years in the 5th division and transferred to the 1st division last year.

Explosion corps has 5 divisions in total.

The first explosion corps division can be said that it's our explosion corps' main combat division personally lead by the head of the explosion corps. They will be sent to most of the major battles and conflicts.

The second explosion corps division's works are mostly about setting up traps and bombs. Members of the second explosion corps don't have the requirement to have an explosion release.

Therefore, most of none kekkei Genkai shinobis in explosion corps are sent here.

The third explosion corps division is our second combat division. Members who are not powerful and inexperienced enough to join the first division would be sent here.

They usually do low ranking missions and escort or support second explosions corps.

Fourth explosion corps are very special because they are suicide bomb division. They don't have a division captain. They will take only orders from Head of Explosion corps (Goro-san) and Tsuchikage (Onoki).

This division was created solely for war. Basically, it is a death sentence for anyone who are deployed here.

Members in this division are all either shinobi who will soon die by incurable disease or psychopaths, but extremely loyal to Iwagakure more than anyone.

The two years in the 5th division was hell for me.

All they did was beat me and Gari up continuously to make us tougher. This seemed to be a tradition of the 5th division newly recruits.

Of course, since I was stronger than any of the members in the 5th division, I was beaten and trained personally by Captain Ishika.

He was too fast to my nȧkėd eyes and used his explosion release on all over my body while smiling. I think he enjoys bullying people.

Next, he analyzed me to find weaknesses and fix that problem. He concluded my biggest weakness was speed and genjutsu.

From then, I was forced to do similar Guy's training routines (wearing weights, running, etc) to make my speed faster. If I don't run, he will just blow the shit out of me.

He also invited a genjutsu user to train me to break genjutsu. If I didn't manage to break it within 5 seconds, he will beat me up.

He even put poison in our 5th foods or threw us to room full of poison gas for 1 hour so that our body can build resistance to poison.

That was pretty much I did in the first year. He beat me up, feed poison, and oversee speed and genjutsu breaking training.

After spending 2 years in the 5th division, I was sent to the first division due to my excellent performance. I was glad that I finally got free from that Sparta Ishika captain.

Gari was also being sent to the first division. He also trained rather forced to train hard to increase his explosion power and taijutsu and promoted to the first division.

He will be a future captain of the explosion corps division, so I didn't get too surprised for his talent.

In the first division, we were taught how to keep our emotions calm.

For this practice, we had to kill several prisoners which at first made me sick for a while, fortunately, 'anime body-mind' skill helped me stabilize my mind.

Unfortunately for Gari, he got sick for a few weeks after this practice.

I was very curious how the heck Naruto didn't kill anyone in series!!!!! It was just beyond a miracle.

We also sent to various missions to gain experience.

I also went to a solo C-rank mission for one month.

I tried to learn as many earth-style ninjutsu as I could, due to my unique explosion release.

I can see that tension between each great ninja village is skyrocketing. I am guessing war will happen in at most 3 months later.

----------------------------------

During the past 3 years, my shinobi strength has risen tremendously.

First of all, I have Jounin level charka control. I am not surprised about this since I knew I have talent in chakra control.

I have a Chunin level chakra reserve. It took me 3 years to increase my chakra reserve from Genin level to Chunin level.

But I am not worried about chakra reserve anymore since I still have a chakra increasing pill. I am planning to eat the pill amid war.

I am sure no one will care about it since they would be busy saving their own life.

As for Taijutsu, I can go head to head with Jounin, thanks to Captain Ishika's Sparta training.

Although I didn't learn any genjutsu, I am an expert in breaking genjutsu.

I used one-time access to the final floor of the ninja section library which I received as a reward for winning the academy battle event, to copy all the A-rank and S-rank ninjutsu in that floor to system's database.

Therefore, now I don't have to worry about asking others to teach me ninjutsu. I have all the information on ninjutsu that are kept in the library in the system's database.

I learned 3 earth style ninjutsu and Body Flicker jutsu (Shunshin) so far.

It took me less than an hour to learn Iwa version of body flicker jutus since I had Jounin level charka control.

I learned one of my reward jutsu I obtained from defeating Kitsuchi quest, Earth travel jutsu. This jutsu required me to hold breath when I travel through the earth.

It took me almost 6 months to learn this unique jutsu. But it was worth it. Now, I have confidence that I can escape from anyone below the Kage-level. This jutsu will ensure my safety during the war.

I also learned A-rank earth style: swamp of underground.

This jutsu creates a swamp by changing the ground beneath a target into the mud, which the target sinks into.

The mud is infused with chakra to make it sticky, ensnaring the target and preventing escape. The size and depth of the swamp are determined by the user's skill and the amount of chakra used; ideally, it will be made large enough for targets to become completely submerged.

This jutsu is very very useful for immobilizing enemies. Jiraiya used this jutsu to stop naruto's four tailed rampages and also used to stop Orochimaru's summon snakes.

Lastly, I learned earth style: earth dragon jutsu. I was wowed by this jutsu's destructive power when Kitsuchi used it on me during the academy battle event.

I can add my explosion release to add more power to this jutsu.

I also spent time making my earth style: mud wall tougher. I realised my mud wall is simply too weak compared to other shinobi mud wall.

Therefore, I have a few E, D-rank ninjutsu, several B-rank Ninjutsu, and 2 A-rank ninjutsu in my arsenal.

Not bad!

----------------------------

Gari and I were having lunch together after training, suddenly a messenger bird came and gave the paper to us. It was an order of emergency ȧssemble.

We quickly arrived at the explosion corps ȧssemble hall. There were already many people. I realized the ones who were called here are all first division and third division members.

"Attention Everyone. Get ready for war.

All of you here will be in the S-rank mission.

By the order from 3rd Tsuchikage-sama, we explosion corps will cooperate with Kiri and Kumo shinobi and JOINT-ATTACK ON UZUSHIOGAKURE!!!!!"
