Real Traveler

<<Timeskip 17 days; In front of the Hokage's tower>>

"…so show them that we won't give up, in the name of will of FIRE let's defend our families, village and country." – Hokage was standing on the roof of the building and speaking his fire up speech, with which he joined 3rd shinobi world war.

Eh, finally it started, I think I'm ready, however my hands are still shaking, it's not better situation with other unexperienced ninjas. *Sigh* A lot of genins are going to die in this period.

I looked at my previous team, they were not so nervous like others, it's not surprising as they will mostly stay in the village, no one will send Kushina on the front line without there being 2 or more Bijus. Even if they will she will be accompanied by minimum 2 S ranked jonins.

Maybe I should have stayed with them? … NO, my goal in this life is not to stay under the safe walls, I don't know which world will be next, I don't even know if I would be able to travel to another worlds. So I must gain as much as possible in order to increase my chances of survival.

In the last 2 weeks I did like my father advised, stayed in the village to finish my project and train a bit in ninjutsus. Right now, I know every ninjutsus till A ranked ones, however I can use only 8 C ranked jutsus and let's say truth I need too much time to use them. 2 genjutsus, 2 earth, 1 water, 1 fire, 1 wind and 1 lightning. The best situation is with genjutsus, water- and earth-walls, however I need to make every handseal + I'm not very fast + I have about 60% chakra loss.

Maybe I needed to focus more on ninjutsus, but I really can't make everything at the same time. Even shadow clones don't work like I hoped to.

Oh about this cheater technique with a lots of restrictions, which I want ro remove or solve say like you want, the point is that: a) to return memories and chakra, they must be in my sensory detection range, which is about 1km(I can only detect chakra, not say who it is, if I didn't meet him and I can't see him like Hyugas), otherwise they will just do what I say them and then just dispel, b) 1 clone really takes half of my chakra, yes if you make only 1 clone it's not a problem for him even to train a ninjutsus but,BUT, , if they don't use chakra, with chakra reserve of average genin they last only half an hour and c) when yin chakra comes back and fuses with my yin, yan must be at least 40% of yin's amount, otherwise I start getting headache, it means I can't make too much physical exercises while using this technique.

"Ichimaru-kun do you listen? Come back to the earth." – Blonde man with Konoha's emblem placed his hand on my shoulder and got me back from my thoughts.

"Oh sorry, hello Gimisu-san. How is you child?" – I slightly bowed and smiled apologetical.

"Haha, it's okay it must've shock you, but don't sleep on the battlefield, if you don't want to sleep forever." – he said this with serious voice – "anyway why did I come to you, this night, I want you to place a defense on my newborn's mind, do you manage?"

"Of course, Gimisu-san, I come today at 9 O'clock, you can count on me." – I said this with serious face.

"Okay, I tell clan's head and elders about the time." – we nodded to each other and separated.

You may be confused why Ginsu Yamanaka asked me to place on his daughter's mind a barrier. Let's start with the barrier, it protects someone's mind from genjutsus, which may be "implanted" in them, like when you grow up kill you parents, or something like this. Because babies don't use chakra it's not hard to make permanent.

As for why he allows me to do this, it's a tradition 2 in 1. Look firstly it's like baptism from my previous world, secondly, it's an exam on branch of mind techniques, to be exact on "stationary" mind techniques, these mean not in battle use abilities. I will be acknowledged master in this field, but of course elders proof the construct so it's not dangerous. Before our clan joined the village, you needed to be 15 years old, however now you need to be a chunin.

I went home, to prepare myself for morning. I'm leaving the village towards buffer country with kumogakure(lightning country), by the way orochimaru is our head commander.

At 6 O'clock I meet my friends in a restaurant near the center, we understand that we might not see each other either very long time, or ever again.

<<In the restaurant>>

"Good evening, how do you do?" – I greeted my comrades and tried to sound so carefree as I could.

"""Oh, hello Ichimaru-kun.""" – they returned greetings at the same time. I think they did talk to each other with some unease. Eh what a drag I think we won't be able to sit and chat with each other right 1 day before the departure.

*Sigh*"Okay friends I see that we can't just have fun 1 day before the start of our first and I hope last war." – they exchanged glances and sighed – "So let's don't waste our time and go home to prepare ourselves." – they looked at me with sad expression, I understood that they expect something more from this meeting, when they stood up and wanted to go away. – "However before this I want to make a promise to each other." – I looked int their eyes. – "We must promise to each other, that regardless how bad the situation will be, we won't give up till the end to return and meet each other here in this restaurant and drink sake after the war. Hope must die only after us." – I said and held out my fist.

They understood and put their fists over mine.

""" Hope mut die only after us.""" – they shouted and attracted attention of everyone in the restaurant, however no one said something against they could understand why we did this and some ninjas looked at us with approval and drank their sakes with fire in their eyes.

After this we went outside and without saying anything else separated, I need to prepare myself for the ritual. Yes, ritual. I must wear a clan's old traditional attire, which I must take from the clan's storehouse.

<<9 O'Clock in clan's head's house>>

*Huff* "Done, you can check this now." – I turned to the clan's elders and clan head, clan head looks like Inoichi, but he has hairstyle like Naruto at the start of Boruto's arc and a scar on the place of his elbow, he was wounded on the last war, thankfully he didn't lose his eye.

"Okay, Ichimaru-kun I check him." – a man on clan head's left-side nodded and walked to the newborn, which was sleeping to check my work. I went to my father and started to wait, I was not nervous, I'm one of the best in our clan, but I don't show my abilities, I know that in a fight wins, the one who has more information about his enemy and of course can use this properly, however ninja can't use information he dies on the first mission.

The shield which I placed will last until she starts actively practicing with chakra, on my, in addition to this, was placed a seal, however when I started training I should have weaken it, in order to be able to learn mind techniques without backlash. The seals, like mother placed on me, are rare, only Uzumakis have it, on first sight they are perfect defense, however they can't defend from active attacks of a master.

"Everything is fine, the structure is stable." – elder concluded and smiled to me.

"Good, then today onwards, if you want, you can be a mind reader in the interrogation squad, here are the doc.u.ments." – clan head smiled and dismissed us.

"Thank you Ichimaru-kun." – Gimisu smiled and after patting my shoulder went with his wife away.

"Hoho, my son is finally an a.d.u.l.t. Now you can marry on someone. Do you have candidates?" – he said this and left me dazed.

"Don't joke like this."

"I don't joke. It could be better to marry you before the war, but we can't do anything in this situation, so when you come back tell me your answer and if you want to marry with someone then tell me when you come back, but if not, then we will search."

F**k, I don't want to marry anyone, in my world only, something like this happens in some undeveloped countries. However, I understood long time ago that it's not the same world and they have different traditions.

"Fine, but only ,ONLY, if I won't find anyone."

"Of course." – he nodded satisfied. F**k I still don't like this, however if the fiancée won't be against or won't be less than 16 it's fine, I guess, but it's only before I'm underage. OMG I'm fu**ing underage I don't want to marry. Stop does my last life count? If it counts then… . No stop thinking.

"But she must not be less than 17, 18 would be perfect." – I said this with serious tone. He looked at me a few minutes and when he saw I won't fall back sighed in defeat. So, from tomorrow my life will change, I hope I won't stop my journey in this world too fast.
