NV Ch: 2 [Trial Power Theme]

When I was still working with the mercenary company, my boss used to bring me books, comics, and things like that. Maybe, because I was still a kid back then, or he might have felt guilt for turning a kid into a killer.

He tried his best to provide me with things kids like as a reward for completing missions, and he also gave me DVDs related to cartoons whenever he got his hand on them since the internet was out of the question due to all that tracking things.

Right now, a scene from one of those anime is playing before my eyes and with me in it. If I am not wrong, it's from Naruto. A hallucination on the verge of death? No. I am certain... This isn't a hallucination or a dream.

My body... It's like I had gone in the past when I was in my prime. I raised my shirt and saw the well-trained muscles and the marks of wounds that I had received during training and missions. If I am not wrong, my age should be around the 20s. I am glad that my body didn't change.

I look around. I feel the mud under my naked feet and the barks of the tree on my palm. I smell the musky scent of rotten wood. I can sense overwhelming pressure from the young girl and the group of assailants dressed in black attacking her.

This is reality. But how? I am glad to be alive, but the people fighting before me are strong and dangerous. I have to hide and wait them out. Then I will figure out my situation since it's not a battle where I can interfere without any weapon. Moreover, it ain't got anything to do with me.

The four attackers threw shurikens at the girl, but the girl swiftly dodged all except one. It pierced her left thigh. Blood is dripping from her wound. She pulls the shuriken from her thigh and throws it on the ground. Those attackers are pro. Instead of using unnecessary skills, they directly went for her legs to limit her movement. If it was me, I would have laced my weapons with poison to increase my chances of pinning down my target.

"You bastards. Poison!" She says while huffing in exhaustion. She is surrounded by the attackers. There is nowhere to run with her injuries, and if the poison is fatal, she will die in a few minutes. In her position, she only has two choices... Kill the attackers before they kill her or take down as many as she can before the poison kills her.

"Earth Style: Rock shower Jutsu." The four attackers threw the same Jutsu at the girl from four directions. Sharp shards of rock emerged from the ground and rushed toward the girl like a shower of bullets.

That girl is probably gonna die. She is losing her ground, but that look in her eyes. She has not given up and still clinging to her imaginary hope.

"Susanoo!" yells the girl as a stream of blood emerges from the corner of her eyes. She is pushing beyond her limit. Her eyes... Red! If I am not wrong, that's Sharingan.

Blue skeleton ribs appeared around her, defending her from the rock bullets. But it disappeared in mere seconds, and the girl fell to her knees. She ran out of chakra.

Huh?! A transparent screen appeared before my eyes, displaying a list of skills and missions.

A wand! A black wand that you basically see in HP appeared in my hand. What the fuck? First Naruto and now HP. And a new mission with a reward. Poison for not saving and healing for saving.

It's like one of those RPG games with moral choices and skill slots. But it says trial power theme. If I have to take a guess, it must be a temporary thing like those characters trials before choosing which one to play with. Whatever it is, I have to be careful in this dangerous world of ninjas.

"You fought well, Kara. For a ninja who awakened Mangekyo Sharingan just a few minutes ago... You really did your best. Sadly, this is the end of the road. We will be taking those eyes of yours. But before that, hehehe! We will have a taste of your young and beautiful body," One of the attackers says as he puts away his kunai in his waist bag.

I don't know where or which era I am in. Poison is great, I can sneak in and kill anyone with it, but 4x healing potions will come in handy in the long run. It can save my life... I don't want to die again. But the question is, what the fuck can I do with these skills? There are no offensive spells.

Think Fred... Think... Humm. I looked around and saw a kunai lying a few steps away from me. This could work. Well, it's time to hunt...

I read HP books and watched the movies that my boss brought me. I have a rough idea about how to use spells, but will it work. Time to find out.

"Evanesco!" I whisper with a little swing of my wand. I look at my body, and I can see through it. It's completely gone invisible.

...

I slowly walk forward and pick up the kunai.

"Hehe! Go easy on her, leader. We also want to fuck her youthful pussy," says one of the assassins.

"Bastards, I will die before... Huh?" The girl looks stunned.

"Kekeke! What's wrong? Can't move your body. Don't worry. It will be over soon. How many ninjas do you think has the liberty to enjoy sex before death? So, sit back and enjoy..." says the assassin's leader.

This degenerate bastard is stripping before the girl. Bastards want to fuck her before killing her. I have seen those types of degenerate back on earth.

I have to act fast and kill them swiftly. I don't know how long this invisibility spell lasts.

With my years of experience, it was easy for me to sneak behind those bastards. I am crouching down behind one of the assassins, who is pissing on a tree without any care about the world. The other two assassins are looking at the defenseless girl while their leader is walking toward the girl, butt-naked.

"Haaaa! Finally. Phew!!!" The pissing assassin says, closing his eyes with a relaxing smile. A yawn left his mouth, "Kuggg!"

I plunged the kunai inside his mouth and grabbed his adam's apple with my left hand. It's a basic technique. One hand grapples and destroys your opponent's throat, while the other hand delivers a fatal killing blow. It kills the target instantly. Best used in espionage missions to take down enemies without raising the alarm.

I adjusted my strength to prevent blood from spraying on my face from the other end of the assassin's throat. I slowly dragged his dead body and left him behind that tree. I can't make any unnecessary big movements and make them aware...

One down, three to go...
