Chapter 3: Chapter 2: The First Test
When Ryuji was eight years old, a mission was assigned to the students of the academy. It was a test to see who could complete a small task assigned by the village. It was no more than a simple reconnaissance mission to a nearby village to observe an ongoing dispute between two clans. But for Ryuji, this was his first true test of his abilities.
As the academy sent the Sannin and the other children to their tasks, Ryuji was given his own secret mission—an assassination. He had heard the rumors—there was a rogue shinobi operating in the shadows, someone who had defected from the village years ago. This rogue shinobi had been stirring up trouble, and Ryuji was selected by the Uchiha clan elders to deal with him.
On his way to the rendezvous point, Ryuji was ambushed by a group of bandits who tried to steal his mission scroll. In an instant, Ryuji reached for his Thousand Demon Daggers, throwing one in a flash. The blade whizzed through the air, slicing the first bandit's throat clean off. The others hesitated, their fear palpable. Ryuji didn't give them a chance to recover. He moved like a shadow, faster than they could react, cutting down two more with ease.
The Chameleon Summon: As Ryuji neared the rogue shinobi's hideout, he felt a strange presence. It was a summon—a chameleon, a creature of stealth and deadly precision. The summon was one of his personal, secreted creatures from his previous life. This chameleon was a perfect fit for his skill set—silent, unseen, and deadly. He formed a hand sign, and with a small puff of smoke, the chameleon appeared.
The chameleon was agile, blending into its surroundings, capable of moving silently through the forest. Ryuji sent it forward to scout the area, using its unique abilities to infiltrate the rogue shinobi's hideout without being noticed. The creature's heightened senses and ability to camouflage made it perfect for this mission.
Ryuji's eyes burned with the Sharingan, the first stage activated. He could see through the illusions the rogue shinobi had set up. His mind was cold, calculating. He could predict his enemy's movements as if reading a book. The rogue shinobi was powerful, but he was no match for the combination of Ryuji's deadly combat style and the precision of his Thousand Demon Daggers.
