Naruto: Senmei Asahi

Next day.

Early in the morning, just after completing his basic training, Asahi was summoned to Orochimaru's camp. 

Upon entering the tent, Asahi found that there was another team besides his team. 

Minato, Kakashi, Obito, Rin, and another blonde-haired person, but he didn't know him.

"Orochimaru-sama."

Asahi, said while saluting. He secretly glanced at Orochimaru, only to find that he wasn't pay attention to him at all, as if nothing had happened last night. 

"Everyone is here, so I'll talk about your mission." Orochimaru glanced around and started to talk.

"There has been information showing that Sunagakure has been recently planning to sneak attack on the camp where our medic team is located. I need people to sneak into the Land of Wind's territory and find out the accuracy of this information within the next three days. Anbu will be there to assist you."

'You mother…! Such a difficult mission, but you are only sending one Jonin to complete it. Isn't that letting us go just to die?'

If he could beat Orochimaru, Asahi would definitely tear him apart. Although Minato could be considered to be equivalent to several Jonins, all the others in the group were either chunin or genin. Is it appropriate to send them to perform such a mission?

"Yes!"

But he was helpless, it's impossible for a ninja to refuse a mission. 

"Minato is now assigned to be the captain of this mission, and he will lead Hatake Kakash, Uchiha Obito, Nohara Rin, Senmei Asahi, Hyuga Keita, Shinohara, and Yamanaka Ichimi. I need you to start immediately."

Orochimaru instructed. 

'So the blonde guy is someone from the Yamanaka clan.' 

"Understood!"

Everyone took the lead. 

"Asahi-kun, stay for a minute, I have something to tell you." Orochimaru said at the end.

"Yes!" Asahi was puzzled by this, and started looking at Orochimaru, not knowing what he would have to talk to him about. 

"Here." Orochimaru pulled out a scroll and threw it at Asahi. 

"What is this?"

He curiously asked, with an ominous hunch in his heart. 

"After entering the Land of Wind, I need you to give this scroll to someone, and as for how to do it, it's written in this letter."

Orochimaru then gave a letter to Asahi. 

"Don't open this letter right now. After you enter the Land of Wind tonight, open it then to see what is your next plan of action."

Orochimaru continued to instruct him, "Asahi-kun, I am very optimistic about you, please don't let me down." 

Even though he was scolding Orochimaru from head to toe on his mind, Asahi said with respect on his face, "I will not let you down, Orochimaru-sama." 

... 

To enter the Land of Wind from the Land of Fire, one needs to go either through the Land of Rivers or the Land of Rain, but as of right now the Land of Rivers had become a battlefield, and Konoha and Sunagakure ninjas were everywhere in that place. So Minato decided to enter the Land of Wind from the Land of Rain. 

With the help of Keita's [Byakugan], Asahi's entire group easily bypassed Sunagakure's alert teams, and entered the Land of Wind silently. 

This once again made Asahi realize the role that a Byakugan could play in the war. It's no wonder that many villages want to get a hold of a Byakugan. Kumogakure didn't even hesitate to kidnap Hinata in the original series.

It must be said that the Byakugan's ability was indeed very attractive. 

"Okay, let's take a rest at this spot."

Minato suggested. 

After getting along during travelling the path of their mission, Asahi discovered that Minato was really a very easy-going person. With a strong strength, high charisma, and a naturally handsome face, he's that kind of person who were often very popular.

No wonder Minato became the Fourth Hokage in the future. Even after he died for more than ten years, there were still many people who remembered him and spoke highly of him. He was indeed very charismatic. 

But Asahi was not interested in Minato, he was very interested in his wife Uzumaki Kushina.

(T.L. Note: Excuse me what?)

Of course, he didn't want to have something to do with Kushina in any unspoken way, but instead he had been very interested in the Uzumaki clan's Sealing Jutsu for a long time. 

This was something that he had planned for the distant future. When Obito uses the Nine Tails to attack Konoha in the future, both Minato and Kushina would fight and die in that mayhem. At that time Asahi would get Uzumaki clan's sealing jutsu. 

What a great opportunity. 

Now he just needed to wait. 

"This time our mission is very difficult. If necessary, we will catch a few Sunagakure ninjas to bring them back and torture to extract information. At that time, everything will be up to you, Ichimi!"

Minato said seriously.

"No problem, leave it to me." Ichimi promised. 

For this mission, Asahi had been losing his mind. Now what he was the most worried about and thinking was how to complete the secret mission that Orochimaru entrusted to him. 

What exactly was recorded in the scroll? 

Asahi doesn't know.

It might be Konoha's confidential information, it might be a false information, or it might be a secret transaction between Orochimaru and someone, and more than anything it could also be just a blank scroll. 

But no matter what was recorded on this scroll, Asahi must complete this mission perfectly. 

If that happens then, he could prove his ability and make Orochimaru think that he had enough value to get exploited, and he could also get Orochimaru's trust, which would expose him to more secrets. 

Asahi also remembered those forbidden jutsu that Orochimaru possessed and he has been coveting for a long time. In particular, Ryūchi Cave's contract scroll in Orochimaru's hands was something that he was determined to get. 

Sage Mode! 

If Asahi wanted to compete with those ninjas with Kekkei Genkai as an ordinary ninja, both forbidden jutsu and sage mode were necessary. 

The effect of sage mode was undoubtedly huge. In Sage Mode, one's combat power is several times or even dozens of times more that in their normal state, and even the user's defense would be greatly increased.

It could be said that once he had mastered sage mode, Asahi would completely surpass the level of an ordinary ninja.

Mount Myōboku and Ryuchi Cave. 

Everything needed to be planned slowly. 

"Now that we have entered the Land of Wind territory, we need to be cautious in doing everything, so let's continue moving forward."

After a break, Minato proposed to continue on the road and go into the Land of Wind's center. 

"Captain Minato, I think that the plan to attack the medic team must have been carefully planned by Sunagakure, so those who actually hold information must also be the high-level of Sunagakure. Any ordinary ninja will probably have no idea about it."

Asahi said. 

"Yeah, that might indeed be the case. Do you have any plans, Asahi-kun?"

Minato agreed. 

"Yes." Asahi nodded, and continued saying, "Since Sunagakure wants to sneak attack on our medic team then we should give them a chance. We need to beat them at their own game. We can use the medic team as a bait to attract them to attack, and then we can take the opportunity to wipe out their entire group."
