Chapter 4: Chapter 4: The First Mission
At the age of sixteen, Tetsuya became a legend in the Hidden Rain. Though his heart remained conflicted about his origins, his reputation grew. It wasn't until one fateful mission that everything changed.
The Hidden Rain had long been a thorn in the side of the Hidden Leaf Village and other major powers in the world. Under Hanzo's leadership, the Hidden Rain became a covert force to be reckoned with. However, Tetsuya was soon sent on a mission that would reveal to him the cruel truths of the shinobi world.
He was tasked with infiltrating the Hidden Cloud Village, the home of his father, the Raikage. Hanzo had his own reasons for sending Tetsuya into the heart of enemy territory, but the moment Tetsuya set foot in the village, he felt the pull of his bloodline. His eyes, both Sharingan and Byakugan, saw the Lightning Village in a way no outsider could: the mountains, the terrain, the people—all felt familiar, as if they called to him.
Tetsuya didn't know it yet, but this mission would set in motion his path to confronting his father and the truth of his abandonment.
