🌸 The Will of Fire

Episode 3: The First Mission – Into the Shadows 🌑

🌍 The Academy's First Test: Community Service 🏘️

Team 7—Dan, Riko, and Suki—stand before their Jōnin instructor, Lady Kaede 💃🔥. It’s early in the morning, and the sun barely peaks over the horizon 🌅.

Kaede smirks and crosses her arms:

“Your first mission is... community service.” 🧹🧺

The students look confused.

“Don’t expect a thrilling fight,” she continues. “You’re helping the village today—cleaning the streets, picking up trash, and helping the elders. You'll learn that even the smallest tasks have their own importance.” ✋

After hours of sweeping streets 🧹, helping villagers carry groceries 🍞🍅, and doing menial chores, Dan's frustration grows. "This is nothing like what I imagined," he mutters under his breath. Riko, always quiet, picks up his broom and continues working without a word. Suki is annoyed too, though she never complains aloud.

😩 Dan's Plea for Action

By the end of the day, the trio has completed their tasks. They sit in front of the Hokage’s Tower, exhausted. Dan’s impatience reaches its peak.

“I’m not here for this! We’re shinobi, not laborers!” he says, standing up. "I want a real mission!" 💥

Lady Kaede’s eyes narrow, but she doesn’t say anything.

Just then, a cloaked messenger arrives from the Hokage’s office, handing Kaede a scroll. She opens it with a snap.

"Looks like we’ve been assigned a new mission. You’ve earned it, Dan." She smiles wickedly. 😈

🎯 The Real Mission: Infiltrating the UUB 🔍

The team is summoned to the Hokage’s office. Hokage Kaito, the Third Hokage 🧓🏾, a wise and calculating leader, sits behind a massive desk, his face calm yet intense. The Hokage’s face is lined with wisdom, and his presence commands respect.

He explains:

“The UUB Organization is a secretive and dangerous syndicate. They’ve been smuggling forbidden jutsu and illegal weapons into the village.” 💣

Dan listens closely, his eyes burning with determination.

“The UUB—Unseen Underground Brotherhood—is led by mysterious figures. It’s rumored they have dangerous plans, and we cannot let them get any stronger." ⚔️

🚨 The Spy Mission

The Hokage hands Kaede another scroll.

"Your mission is to infiltrate their base and gather intelligence. This mission is classified—if you’re caught, we deny any involvement. Understood?"

“Understood, Hokage-sama,” Kaede responds. She turns to her team, a serious glint in her eyes.

“Be careful. This won’t be easy.”

Team 7 travels under the cover of night 🌑, making their way through darkened woods and steep hills to the location provided in the scroll. Riko’s eyes scan every shadow, but he remains silent. Suki’s muscles are tensed, her breath shallow, ready to unleash her power if needed.

💥 Caught by UUB Agents

As they sneak through a hidden entrance into the UUB base, they are suddenly ambushed! 💥

Dozens of UUB agents spring from the shadows, surrounding the group.

Dan tries to react, but he is overwhelmed. A dark figure steps forward—a tall man with a dark cloak and glowing red eyes. “So, the Kageflame Academy has sent children to spy on us…” he smirks, raising his hand.

⚔️ The Battle Begins – Team 7’s Struggle

Dan attempts to fight back with his shadow clone jutsu, summoning several clones to confuse the UUB agents. They fight valiantly, but the UUB agents are well-trained and outnumber them. Dan carries a kunai 🗡️, ready to strike, but as he goes for a surprise attack, one of the UUB agents stomps on his back, sending him crashing to the ground 💥. He’s defeated.

Suki steps forward, her hands glowing with chakra-infused energy ⚡. She breathes deeply, releasing powerful chakra through her hands as she punches toward the UUB leader! Her punch lands with a force that shatters the stone wall—but the UUB agent dodges, and stomps her into the ground. 💥

💥 Riko’s Last Hope – A Moment of Strength

Riko steps forward, his Sharingan not activated yet, but his resolve burning bright.

“I won’t let them fall,” he mutters. Riko attempts to use his clan’s techniques—speed and precision—but he’s overpowered. A UUB agent kicks him to the side, throwing him into a pile of debris.

Kaede watches from the shadows, her lips curling into a frown.

“Enough games,” she mutters, stepping into the battle. 💃💥

⚔️ Kaede’s Attack: Unleashing Her Power

Lady Kaede attacks with incredible speed. She forms a series of hand seals, and suddenly a massive tornado of flames 🌀🔥 surrounds her. She unleashes a massive Fire Style technique—an inferno that scorches the UUB agents, forcing them back.

Her speed, power, and chakra control are like nothing the team has seen before.

The remaining UUB agents retreat into the shadows, disappearing without a trace. Kaede steps forward, her chest heaving from the exertion. She stares down at the defeated Team 7.

“Pathetic,” she mutters. “You were lucky I came in time. If you didn’t make so much noise, this could’ve been clean.” 💢

👴 The Hokage’s Final Words

Back at the Hokage’s office, the Third Hokage looks down at the team, who are visibly bruised and exhausted.

“You did well, but you weren’t ready for a mission like that.” His voice is calm but stern.

“Remember this, young ones: The mission comes before you. Always. The UUB is not a small threat. They are a shadow in the dark.” 🌓

Hokage Kaito watches them leave with a heavy heart. “The Will of Fire has been passed on to you... but it is your responsibility to keep it burning.” 🔥
