The Gamer: Naruto World

Chapter 29 – Sword Drawing Arts

Smack!

Raito's chop landed on Naruto's head causing him to yell painfully, causing Naruto to fall back and clutch his head.

"You need to guard, you know." Raito clenched his fist then stretched his hand.

"I know but…" Naruto shifted his eyes and watched as the door to the backyard opened as Hinata walked out.

"I have refreshments." Hinata walked with some cookies and juices.

Naruto quickly walked towards her and grabbed a few of the cookies. Hinata watched Naruto for a while as if looking at the most beautiful gem.

Raito waited for a while as the two looked at each other before making an annoying sound. Hearing the sound, Hinata woke from her daze and walked towards Raito, folding her sleeves.

"You finally decided to come," Raito said in a teasing voice.

Hinata blushed for a moment before replying, "I was just thinking of something."

With a stomp, Raito dashed forward, his open palm aiming straight for her face. Hinata with a horse stance made a guard then pushed the palm aside. And as she was going to retaliate, she heard Raito speaking, "Does 'something' involve a boy with yellow hair, blue eyes and whisker marks on his face?"

Raito's face had a teasing smile causing Hinata to blush and making her counterattack with an unorganized attack. The finger strikes were aimed at the c.h.e.s.t, which Raito caught easily. But soon, Raito let go the wrist and looked at his hand where there were red marks.

Raito looked at the HP bar and found that the attack had decreased his HP by a mere five points.

"Grappling is no good for you." Raito made a guard stance and waited for Hinata to attack.

Hinata came with a flurry of finger strikes. Some were pushed by Raito but others hit Raito making him grimace. Raito pushed both of his palms forward after reflecting Hinata's strike then pushed her on the shoulder, making her stumble. With a stretch forward, Raito turned around and using a reverse sweep, attacked at Hinata's leg. Hinata, while she stumbled back after the push, watched carefully at Raito's action and dodged the incoming sweep.

"You are better than Naruto, you know?" Raito shouted making Naruto jump in anger.

Hinata went back to Hyuga family stance. Knees slightly bent, one arm straight and others slightly curved with the palm facing forward.

"I will be using palms next, please be careful." After giving a warning, she immediately dashed forward and used a palm to strike one after another.

Sweat began to form as Raito guarded against Hinata's strike. But each strike was causing Raito to feel a bit of pain and a bit of HP to drop every time. In a small frame of time, a hundred points of health were gone, making Raito frown.

Sighing, Raito activated his 'Chakra Sense' making it far easier for Raito to dodge and counter-attack. Hinata had already gotten body hits, making her take several back steps.

"Raito started using his special technique. Be careful Hinata!" Naruto warned while waving his hand.

"Naruto." Raito glared but focused back as Hinata activated her Byakugan.

Raito and Hinata faced each other ready to strike. But as they were about to jump at each other, Kakashi appeared in front of them sitting in a thinking position.

"Kakashi-sensei?" Hinata relaxed after checking with her Byakugan.

Raito had already remembered his chakra signature. So he was sure that the person in front of him was Kakashi. But without his 'Observe' skill, Raito was not sure that it was a shadow clone or not.

"Sensei why are you here?" Naruto asked.

"Hmm…I got bored." Kakashi answered which made Raito twitch a little.

"Then teach us something," Naruto shouted with fervor.

"You guys…wanna learn?" Kakashi questioned looking at everybody.

The three nodded in sync making Kakashi smile.

Kakashi pulled out a small ball then gave it to Raito.

Raito looked at the ball and then at Kakashi with some confusion, "A ball?"

"Yup. I will be working on your teamwork for today." Kakashi explained with an eye smile.

"Teamwork? With a ball?" Hinata asked with a head tilt.

"Hey sensei…aren't you supposed to teach us about jutsu?" Naruto questioned.

"Or even body conditioning or tactics?" Raito added.

"Those? You will be learning them someday." Kakashi replied nonchalantly.

Raito looked at the sky with a sad 'I give up' expression.

Minutes later, the three played ball. It was just passing the ball to the other member of the group and at the same time walking towards the Hokage tower.

People in the streets, watched as the new Genins walked towards the Hokage tower. The scene looked comedic as the three followed the balls, sometime they would knock on peoples and some time on the stalls. Some villagers rebuked the three and some, who already had seen Gai, training told them to watch out.

To reach the Hokage tower, which only took just ten or fifteen minutes to reach, took almost an hour, quadruple the time. The result made Raito and the group felt like it was really, really far. But Kakashi thought just the opposite, 'When Minato-sensei made us do this training, it took us whole three hours from the park and we made many mistakes during the training.'

"Next time let's do it without making any mistakes next time." Raito raised his fist.

Hinata who held the ball nodded vigorously and Naruto also did the same.

Kakashi who looked at the group sighed then smiled.

In a room, Hinata faced straight with a straight face looking at the camera. The cameraman took the picture and thought for a while before taking another picture.

Naruto and Raito had finished filling out their forms and now were waiting for the Identity number to be inscribed on the forehead protector.

As they waited for the work to be done, Raito had already pulled out a bento box and gave it to the desk clerk. She ate the food enthusiastically and gave various remarks about how delicious the food was. Raito smiled happily as he heard her praising the food.

While Naruto was reading the fuinjutsu book, Raito was also reading a book about the theoretical aspect of the hand seals and their relation with chakra. Raito was so focused that he didn't notice Shikamaru walking in and asking the desk clerk something.

"Shika." Naruto called out alerting Raito.

"Oh, it's Shikamaru." Raito closed his book and waved his hand.

"Naruto, Raito, you two are already registering, huh? That means, you already have passed the Genin test." Shikamaru commented.

"Yup, we are waiting for numbers to be engraved." Raito replied.

"But what are you doing?" Raito continued with a question.

"Nothing, I was trying to find out what cigarette Asuma-sensei likes the most." Shikamaru answered truthfully.

The test that Asuma had given the three were not hard but…it was the Shikamaru's luck that was bad. Shikamaru had to find out what cigarette Asuma liked them most. At first, he wanted to ask Kurenai but she was also somewhere giving her Genin some test. So, he went around the different shop but the shop, which sold Asuma the cigarette was closed down for the day.¬ Asking a few people but gaining no confirmation, though he found that the clerk may know. So after coming here and finding out that even she didn't know, he was ready to give up.

"So, you have to find out which he likes the most huh?" Naruto asked.

"Even I have a difficult time when I have to choose for ramen. Miso, pork, they are all good." Naruto continued his nonsense.

"Favorite cigarette? I may know. I seem that is… 'Red flags'." Raito answered Shikamaru with confidence.

"Red flag, huh? That was my first choice too." Shikamaru replied.

"I have seen that Asuma-sensei cigarette cover has a red flag with a white background many times. So, I know of it." Raito explained. Raito knew about it through his 'Observe' skill but to explain it to Shikamaru he lied.

"Thanks."

"Here." The desk clerk handed them the forehead protector with a big smile. "Please do your best."

"Hai." The three shouted with excitement.

"Photos, registration, engraving, all done." Raito broke his fingers.

Kakashi was leaning on the balcony when the three exited the room. Walking forward, he gave the three ball and asked them to repeat the exercise.

The group of three easily completed the exercise flawlessly. Raito kept giving advice from time to time and Naruto's shifty eyes were also of great help in dodging the angry villagers.

Reaching the training ground seven they took a rest and did a little warm up. Kakashi who had left them after reaching the training ground appeared with straps in his hand.

"What's that?" Naruto looked at the straps with curiosity.

"Those are weights." Raito answered with just a look.

"Correct." Kakashi handed the three straps and asked them to wear it.

"These leg weights are from Maito Gai. So, be sure to thank him later." Kakashi educated.

After wearing the weights, Raito felt that they were a lot heavier than what he had made. Each strap weighted about ten kilograms. That was a total of twenty kilograms with both the straps and adding to the metal bracers on Raito's hand, it already equaled to thirty kilograms.

"It's a bit heavy." Raito tried to move around but the movements were far slower than he thought.

"Keep wearing those metal bracers too. You have nearly adjusted to them." Kakashi from the side commented.

Naruto and Hinata struggled to move with the extra weights on their body, each step making them sweat a little bit.

"Use chakra only when there is absolutely needed to. Or use healing jutsu only after you feel the strain from working out too much." Kakashi advised.

Seeing that the three were listening to his advice and nodding in response, made Kakashi have a new feeling in his heart.

Smilingly, he said, "Then let's run a l.a.p around Konoha for today.

Some time passed as the students looked at the teacher and the teacher looked at the students.

"L.a.p around Konoha, sensei you have got to be kidding us." Raito retorted.

"Nope, I want you guys to circle Konoha once." Kakashi replied.

"For getting stronger!" Naruto shouted then dragged Hinata and Raito with him.

"Oi, don't drag, Naruto." Raito shouting made no effect on Naruto who's CP has nearly doubled to that of last time, reaching a grand total of six thousand.

Soon Naruto was tired and panting heavily. Raito and Hinata caught up to him then Raito gave Naruto a disapproving look. "That's what happens when you don't listen."

Panting hard Naruto turned around and with a louder tone, he replied, "Something like this won't stop me. I'll get first place." Declaring so, Naruto again sprinted away.

"Naruto-kun, you will hurt yourself," Hinata shouted but Naruto had already run very far away.

"That numb skull." Raito also increased his pace.

Hinata was left behind, feeling a little lonely.

"Boys are like that and those two of them are quite extreme. Walk on your own pace to reach to them." Kakashi who had appeared behind Hinata, advised.

"Hai." Hinata who had been using her Byakugan from time to time was not shocked by Kakashi appearing out of anywhere. Instead, she was calm as a still ocean and with her glittering eyes, Hinata took a step forward, one step at a time. In a distance away, Raito who was holding Naruto down looked at Hinata's figure, waved his hand and called her out.

"Look at this, Hinata. This dumbass Naruto thought that he can finish this on his own." Raito criticized Naruto while sitting on him.

"Mm." Hinata nodded with a smile. Looking at her, Raito pressed his knees and stood up. Then dragged Naruto to stand up and quietly healed him in process.

"You are so heavy, Raito." Naruto commented as he looked at Raito.

"Of course, I am. I eat as much as Chōji...that maybe not but I eat a lot." Raito thought for a while.

It was already the scene of the sunset as the group of three made their second l.a.p around the village. Their stomachs were grumbling and they were drenched in sweat. As soon as the foot inside the gate, the three fell down in exhaustion.

"It was a bad idea to do the second l.a.p," Raito commented between gasping for air.

"I can already feel myself getting stronger," Naruto shouted causing the Chūnin who was at the gate to look over.

"Kakashi-senpai, these three are yours?" The Chūnin standing from the booth asked.

"Kotetsu? Yeah, this group finally passed the test and now they are team seven." Kakashi answered.

"Oh! Someone finally passed your test, sempai. I thought that you were always giving excuses when Hokage-sama asked…" Kotetsu replied truthfully getting elbowed from his side by another Chūnin, who had long hair, covering hi one eye and wearing a bandana type of forehead protector.

Kotetsu brought back his focus and looked at the group, then said, "Please enter, we were going to close the door, soon."

The three held each other as they dragged themselves inside the village door.

Raito looked at the metal braces and leg straps as he checked their weight. "He again increased the weight." Feeling the weight, Raito grumbled.

[Training Weights (Leg)]

Weight – 20 kg

[Training Weights (Metal Bracers)]

Weight – 10 kg

Kakashi had replaced Raito's weights many times and now Raito was wearing about a total of 50 kg. Every step for him was like walking in sand or in mud or like walking with shackles bound to a rock.

"So unfair." Raito wined.

"It's for your sake." Kakashi said it for the umpteenth time to Raito.

"I know… but even so…" Raito looked at Naruto then at Hinata and didn't continue.

Seeing that Raito had finally stopped wining, Kakashi sighed in relief.

"Why don't I take all of you to eat for our first day together?" Kakashi suggested after pondering for a long time.

"Ichiraku Ramen!" Naruto shouted in an instant with a joy, seemingly all the fatigue had disappeared.

"Nice spirit, Naruto." Kakashi praised.

Raito and Hinata were so exhausted that they couldn't even answer to Kakashi's question or go against Naruto's choice. Not like Hinata would even want to do so.

Seeing that Kakashi had smile hung on his face Raito asked, "Sensei I think my weight is just a bit too heavy. How about I-"

"No." the smiling Kakashi immediately rejected.

"No one is allowed to remove the weights they are wearing…Only during some important time, you are allowed to remove them, and even that will be under my orders only." Kakashi immediately made the rule and looked at the three with a questioning gaze.

"Sensei what about my clan?" Hinata asked meekly as she knew that her clan was stricter to outside things.

"Hyuga clan, huh? It won't be much problem. They won't be going against the training between a Jounin instructor and the Genin, who are under the Hokage-sama, himself." Kakashi said with a smile but the threat was out in the fields.

"You can do whatever you want. Hokage-sama is behind us, anyway." Kakashi shrugged as he started walking to Ichiraku.

Naruto and Hinata followed behind Kakashi leaving Naruto alone for a while. Raito narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Kakashi's back.

Sometime later, in Naruto's and Raito's house. They walked into the study before disappearing entirely from the house.

"Multi shadow clone technique." Naruto with his several clones and went to kill the zombies.

Raito took out a katana from his inventory, the very same one he had taken from Mari.

One step, two steps…soon Raito was running and attacking zombies as he stopped, gaining mosquito meat. Slowly but surely the 'Katana Mastery' skill was reaching level 25 and a new skill was going to be unlocked.

One killing made from katana would increase the skill by about 0.05%, making it a long tiring process.

Soon the smoke was gathering in a spot, changing into a bigger zombie.

Raito stared at the big zombie with a smile on his face. Raising his katana to his c.h.e.s.t, he called out, 'Chakra Enhancement – Earth Elemental'. The chakra flowed to the katana with a yellow-brown l.u.s.ter. Feeling the increase in heaviness, Raito used his connection and felt the logs placed at the different areas then took out explosion paper bombs.

Naruto had also summoned his clones circling the big zombie. His hands were ready in seals and there were few explosion talisman papers hanging out from one of his pockets.

The black smoke coagulated into a mass and the shape was finally visible.

RAWRR!

The big zombie roared and looked around. And Naruto who was fully ready immediately activated the jutsu and activated the technique. 'Multi Shadow Clone – Multi Gale Palm'

Razors of wind strike the big zombie, who roared in pain and moved messily, easily destroying the buildings around him. In Raito's vision, the HP decreased at a fast rate, easily reaching half of the total Health Points.

Raito who was crouched down and held a snake hand seal stood up and started running towards the big zombie. The zombie was clearly in rage, swinging his big arms and sweeping the stalls and parts of the building. As Raito approached near the zombie, it looked in Raito's direction.

[Sprinting activated.]

[Title 'Zombie Slayer' activated.]

[Title 'Sword User' activated.]

One after another various notification was activated, which Raito didn't saw as he was dodging the monster slow but powerful stomps. Raito while dodging the zombie attacked with the sword cutting the leg muscles of the zombie. Soon the zombie was on his knees facing Raito with hate. Raito who saw the scene looked at the monster with a smile, charging forward, Raito raised his sword, in a position Yugao had taught him, ready to strike.

But the zombie was clearly not done as he threw the surrounding items towards Raito, which Raito had to dodge and stop his charge. After seeing that the zombie had nothing to grab, Raito again went for a charge aiming at the zombie neck, when suddenly the zombie roared, slamming the ground with his hands. Raito ignored the zombie's roar and ran forward, aiming for the final strike, when suddenly the zombie grabbed the walkway and threw it towards Raito.

Raito who was in a daze looking at the massive chunk of the road immediately used the replacement technique and switched to the log at a distance away.

Sensing that his prey had run, the zombie looked around and immediately located on to Raito.

Raito frowned as he felt that the distance between him and the zombie had increased. "And what the hell was that attack throwing that…rock."

Raito grumbled for a while before leisurely approaching the zombie's area. The zombie turned hostile as he roared and tried to walk forward.

"Let's see if you can survive this," Raito shouted as he made a rat hand seal and activated his chakra.

The ground beneath the zombie disappeared and the zombie fell down. Something so big and heavy, falling down and hitting the earth below made a huge noise and the land shake for a while.

Needless to say that the zombie was already dead, which was confirmed by the notification. But sadly the 'Katana mastery' had not leveled up.

The world faded back and now Raito and Naruto were back at the study, at the house.

"I think I am getting used to this 'Multi Gale Strike'." Naruto said looking Raito.

"Mm." Raito was looking distracted as he made some noise in reply.

"I also think that your, earth jutsu is really dangerous." Naruto made another comment which Raito replied again in the same manner.

Naruto, dissatisfied and now with a pout, immediately punched towards Raito but immediately after, Raito had countered with a lock, pushing Naruto to ground.

"Make some shadow clones for me Naruto. I wanna train." Raito asked Naruto for clones after which with all the clones Raito appeared once again into the 'ROOM OF NULL' (I don't know what to call it).

The original Naruto sat with him never-ending Fuinjutsu book of Uzumaki. From time to time, he was flinching, as his clones were getting destroyed.

After long grueling four hours, Raito looked at the notification with excitement.

['Katana Mastery' leveled up.]

['Katana Mastery' has reached level 25]

['Katana Mastery – Katana Skill, First level unlocked]

[Skill 'Sword Drawing Arts' has been unlocked.]

[Sword Drawing Arts]

108 ways to draw a sword out of the sheath. Acting after opponent but reaching before the opponent. Aim to disable, aim to kill.

After the new skills were unlocked, Raito was filled with new knowledge about drawing a sword in a fast and swift manner. As Raito raised his katana, a strange feeling enveloped him. Soon he sheath his sword, then left a hand on the sheath and right resting on the handle.

Naruto who saw that Raito was again going to deep thinking mode, he chooses to act and jump on Raito. Naruto clones jumped on Raito but in a flash, his clones were destroyed. The original Naruto touched his wrist then on his c.h.e.s.t and lastly on his neck. Even though the attacks made by Raito were shallow, the clones were too fragile for katana.

"Oh!" Raito looked strangely at his sword then looked at Naruto. "Again."

Naruto nodded and with a cross-hand seal, dozens of clones ran towards Raito with a kunai in their hands and shuriken thrown with force.

[Fast thinking activated.]

The surrounding slowed down as Raito's CP fell. The trajectory of the shuriken was seen through his 'Chakra Sense'. Left hand rose with katana, still in sheath, blocking all the shuriken. After all the shuriken were blocked, Raito kept the katana back. As Naruto appeared in front of Raito, kunai ready to plunge into Raito's body. Raito lowered his center of gravity and pulled the sheath back with his left hand and at the same time pulled the handle with the right hand. The drawing time was greatly reduced and with a wave destroyed all the clones. Raito targeted the neck and heart of all the clones and with the help of his 'Chakra Sense', Raito had a hundred percent guarantee.

"Wow!" Naruto was in awe as he watched Raito casually destroy his clones. His lips trembled as Naruto so much wanted to ask.

Seeing that Naruto had something to say, Raito first tried to deduce it himself. Not getting many ideas based on his knowledge and experience, Raito decided to use his 'Observe' skill.

Looking in puzzlement, Raito faced Naruto with a smile and said, "We should buy you a sword, Naruto."

Naruto blinked for a long time as the eye was filled with tears. Biting his lips, Naruto nodded his head vigorously.

Raito looked at the clock then nodded his head. With a warm smile, he grabbed Naruto and went back to the real world.

White fluffy rice with a good smell, then there was gravy made with beans, potato, and meat, giving a mouthwatering and stomach rumbling smell. Naruto gulped a few times as the smell filled the room. With the rain outside, giving a cool breeze and the 'Pita, Pita' sound and the smell of the wet soil, Raito opened the window and sat to eat with a happy heart.

In the middle of the night, Raito scribbled the characters on the scroll, quickly filling the scroll.

[Complete]

The check system of his gamer ability was really good making him smile. Placing the scroll on the floor and unrolling it completely, Raito placed the chakra paper on top of the scrolls. Quickly the chakra paper was filled with 'Character Seals'. Then bringing out a talisman paper, Raito placed the talisman paper on the chakra paper. Raito used a vast amount of chakra and created a new character seals on the talisman paper.

[Sealed Jutsu – Shadow Clone Technique]

Raito looked at the 'flaws' and again he was filled with sighs. Meditating to recover chakra then holding the talisman in his hand, Raito activated the talisman and a carbon copy of himself appeared in front of him.

Both of Raito touched the others hand and were shocked by the other.

Raito slowly murmured, "Observe."

[Clone No.1]

Durability – 10

CP – 1,250

STR – 43

VIT – 46

DEX – 40

INT – 52

WIS - 44

LUK - 36

Clone of Yoshizawa Raito.

The original Raito pointed his finger on top of his head and asked, "Can you see this too?"

The clone nodded his head and added, "I can also use the inventory."

Raito who went into thinking looked at his clone and said, "Let's leave everything for later. I want you to watch me sleep."

Then Raito pulled the drawer and gave his clone the seals for chakra storage. "If you need them."

Raito took a long breath…. Then slept.

[You have slept. HP and CP has been fully recovered. All negative status and ailments has been fully recovered.]

Raito woke up and quickly looked at the clone who was sitting in a chair and reading a book about 'Traditional method of maintaining Katana'. A small smile hung on his face, stretching Raito nodded at his clone who also nodded back at him and disappeared in smoke.

In a blink of an eye, memories of looking at his real self then reading the book and thinking about myriads of things appeared in his brain. And there was even a feeling of his chakra being compressed due to being excess.

Massaging his temples not because of the pain but because of needing to remember. Raito saw himself sleeping normally with no changes at all. Thinking that everything would recover to normal, Raito thought that something would have happened to him, like some glowing or suction like thing…but nothing had happened the whole time.

Walking to the chair, Raito picked up the talisman with a frown on his forehead. "My skill didn't level up, after all."

[Shadow Clone (Active) Lvl 1 CP Cost – 500]

Dividing the chakra into two equal halves, the user is able to create a real copy of himself. The clone has the original stats of the user and Health point is replaced by the Durability.

*Durability increases with the level of the skill.

Number of the clones – 1

"What a shitty technique." After comparing his own shadow clone technique with that of Naruto, Raito was quite unhappy.

Jumping down to the back yard, Raito practiced his sword techniques for a while. The sun was already high, shining on the beautiful katana blade.

Naruto also arrived after Raito did and practiced Taijutsu stances. The weight was no longer bothering him anymore like he was used to it.

Raito and Naruto did not bother with each other as they practiced their own techniques. The morning wind blew across the backyard, the clouds moved slowly and the grass sway. The birds were chirping and the two boys were working hard.

Sweat dropped as Raito panted hard. Feeling the weights drawing his body down he had the sudden urge to allocate his stat points on the STR. Raito closed his eyes and did some breathing exercise to recover. Putting the katana into the inventory, Raito cleaned himself him up and prepared the breakfast.

Soon Naruto was also done cleaning himself up and joined Raito to the table.

A bowl of rice, a mix of mixed vegetables, a bowl of meat and lastly a bowl of soup. The rice was mixed with some ghee and vegetables contained carrots, turnips, bean sprout and some pieces of mushroom. The l.u.s.ter given by the food immediately made Naruto's stomach growl and saliva drooled from his mouth.

Raito frowned and with a paper fan hit Naruto on the head immediately and said in a stern voice, "Behave!"

Naruto rubbed his head and looked pitifully at his food. And just as Raito was digging into his food the knocking came disturbing him. Raito frowned as he saw Hinata on the opposite side. He looked at his food then at the door.

Naruto who saw Raito was unwilling, stood up and ran towards the door, "Opening!"

Raito ignored Naruto opening the door and quietly ate his food. Under the sunlight from the window, the steam from the food made Raito marvel as he held another meat piece. Blowing lightly he ate the piece happily.

"Good morning." Hinata bowed as she entered the room.

Raito who was enjoying his food quickly filled the bowls and placed them on the table, then again sat on his chair, holding his chopsticks, once again.

"Sit." Raito called out to the two and again focused on his food.

"But…I already ate." Hinata refused as she looked at the food on the table.

"Mine is better." Raito added then no longer focused at Hinata.

"Ya, Hinata. Raito food is better than any other." Naruto gave a thumb ups to Hinata and then sat on his own seal. Picking up his chopsticks, he looked at Hinata with a smile and made hand signs telling her to eat.

Hinata sat down touching her stomach then looked at the food. But as soon as she did, her mouth slightly salivated. She subconsciously held the chopsticks and took a bite from the vegetables. Soon her hands were out of her control and everything was finished and as did Naruto's.

Only Raito was eating slowly, enjoying his food. It was not that Raito was not finding it delicious but he was using his skill 'Chakra Sense' which has increased the range a lot from the last time reaching a little more than five kilometers.

The information was so much that Raito was getting a headache. There were people and people, the trees were also big and Raito focused on some of the forbidden parts of the village, at first, he was able to go through but he found that the area was hazy as in covered by the fog.

Raito finished eating then handed the dishes to Hinata who was already was washing. Then taking out a notebook, he wrote down those places.

Walking out of the house, Raito felt a new feeling that he couldn't describe.

"Let's go." Raito and the group walked towards the Hokage tower for their very first mission.
