One year and a few months pa.s.sed since the day Hinoki and Jun agreed to the deal. Although they had made the deal for leaving the village one year later for the personal mission of Hinoki, they had to delay it since the Daimyo of Fire kingdom was going to visit the village and Hinoki"s first objective involved him. Therefore Jun got more time to master all he could from Hinoki"s teachings. True to his word, Hinoki taught him everything he knew and at the age of four and a half years Jun could be said to have become one of the most formidable Seal Masters of the current age. Apart from that, Hinoki taught Jun various things about the fundamentals of Ninjutsu and about the various meanings behind the various hand signs and their functions. Jun himself invented a few personal jutsus he was proud of and kept them in his secret a.r.s.enal. Nazuna too was often studying alongside him and was a bit better them him at sealing, also she was proficient in healing and blacksmithing. She made a variety of gear of strange tastes like a sword with a removable vibrating blade. Jun"s favourite was however a pole which could also be transformed into a whip sword and worn like a belt. She made an all-black outfit with a jacket and a facemask as a gift for his fourth birthday. Jun loved it and had hugged her ecstatically which made her blush and drop her fist down at the top of his head, making him faint for the rest of the day and ended up missing his own birthday party. But finally after all that, the day of their departure was near. Hinoki had told them that it might take about a year before they return to the leaf, Jun was a bit sad about leaving his friends and his foster family, but was also excited about this new adventure. Despite all his prowess and maturity, ultimately he was a kid of four and half years after all.But the one absolutely unexpected thing which happened was he unlocked up to the third stage of immortal chakra stages and the first stage of heavenly breathing technique. This in turn unlocked the second stage of his bloodline, increasing his abilities and unlocking better physique with stronger inner organs, strengthening his soul and obtaining an increase positivity and decrease in negative emotions and unlocked parts of his memories of his past life. He learned about his disabilities, his luck in helping others by chance and gaining chance to reincarnate. Most important of all, he was surprised to know that the world he was in was considered just a fiction in his previous world. However luckily, he unlocked memories of the anime "Naruto" which contained information about this world and its future. But once he viewed all his memories, he felt that it was too shallow and that it focussed too much on Naruto and Sasuke the entire time and not in the world itself. But seeing all the problems these two faced their entire lives he decided to change a few if possible. And most of all, he wanted to get much stronger than he was right now and gain the ability to stand and fight alongside them in the troubles to come later. He gave the System a task to coordinate with his memories of the anime and give appropriate reminder at important events. System a.s.sured him that he will definitely get quests for such events more frequently now that his memory was more complete than before. He still had parts of his memories locked, but what excited him the most was that there might be other animes therefore other dimensions and worlds out there just like Naruto World.

In training ground three, Jun was having one final spar against his training comrades Sasuke, Naruto, Hinata, Sakura, and Ino before he leaves the village temporarily. Sasuke and Naruto were the front and Hinata took care of ambushes. Sakura and Ino supported them in various ways.
"Fire style: fireball jutsu" Sasuke attacked Jun with fireball keeping him busy while Naruto attacked him with various shadow clones and he himself was mixed amongst them. Hinata had her Byakugan activated and threw Senbons coated with Gentle fist chakra at places where Jun tried to escape to. Sakura and Ino circled the three boys, taking care of any holes left in the a.s.sault of Naruto and Sasuke.
"Good, you guys have improved. However this is not enough to beat me." Jun said as he dodged Naruto"s attacks and punched each of the clones and dispelled them. He kicked real Naruto at Hinata to stop her rain of Senbons and distract her.
"Wind Style: Wind blast" Jun fire of a highly concentrated burst of wind, turning Sasuke"s flames back at him and the winds also flung Sakura and Ino away. Jun quickly made five Shadow Clones who flashed away and placed a kunai each at all the five kids. They all admitted defeat with a groan easily, since they could sense that Jun was not even close to going all out.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So, you will be leaving Jun Kun?" Ino asked with her head down when they were all resting after the spar.
"Yes. Master and I plan to leave with Fire Daimyo after he has accomplished the work he has come here to do. It seems Master had entrusted something important to the royal family a while back and we need it now. So we would be going with the Daimyo first and then a few other places about which he hasn"t told me anything yet."
"The Fire Daimyo?" Sasuke responded to it "Itachi ni-san and his team has been a.s.signed to guard him on his way back to capital. I am so jealous that you are able to partic.i.p.ate on mission with Itachi ni-san." Sasuke usually didn"t show much emotion at anything, but his brother was something else. He really loved Itachi and from what Jun had heard about him, Itachi adored him too. However Jun knew from the anime that Itachi would garner hate of Sasuke after he murders the Uchiha clan. If possible he wanted to mediate that.
