Authors note : Hello guys I hope you all are doing well and I hope that you have liking this story so far so before I continue with the story any forward I have somethings to say.
(1 ) Firstly , I want to announce that this story will progress slowly and gradually it won't be fast progressing story were the main character will fight all the main characters in two or three chapters but instead it will take time the main character of the story will gradually create his power house and create different mysteries around him and his organisation and more and more characters will be added in terms of supponing and other things .
( 2 ) Secondly , in this chapter 2 I have explained some of the reasons why the fight between Minato Namikaze and our dear main character went as how it went and please carefully read those explanation as to not missunderstand things . On this note one thing I want to say is that since the time Leng Luo had became the main character of the story the plot armour that many people in the story had special the main cast will not be applicable in much of the cases and I will have to give some preferences to the main character himself so you can tell that he now got the pseudo plot armour .
( 3 ) Thirdly , I have yet to decide that whether the main character will have any romance or not but I can share you that I will not be writing any heram stories in it and even if main character does have a romantic interest it will be only one girl not many .
( 4 ) Forthly , but lastly I would once again ask you to carefully read all the authors note and notification that I have given in this story including the explanations so that you can understand the story in a better way and avoid misunderstandings .
So that's all I had to say for now hells without any further and you let's start with our magical journey .
Thank you for reading .
Chapter : 7 : Defeating Kakashi And Successfull Retreat :
" Take this . "
Kakashi who had managed to get behind Leng Luo throwed 6 kunais attached with explosive tags in it .
And then rapidly started preparing his next attack .
" Doton : Doryu Taiga / Earth Release : Earth Flow River . " - as soon as Kakashi finished his technique the surface underneath Leng Luo turned into a muddy river intending to sweep his feet off and make his lose balance denying him any chance to counter the incoming explosive projectiles .
But there was one big flaw in his plan .
From the beginning of the confrontation Leng Luo had not moved from his place even in face of Minato's famous Rasengan . Instead he stayed there and took all the attacks head on .
So when Kakashi attacked this time he subconsciously came to the conclusion that even this time Leng Luo wouldn't move and that was his mistake .
Leng Luo was a proud man especially after getting his character templates which greatly affected his mindset but that doesn't mean that he was stupid .
No ! On the contrary Leng Luo even without any of his golden finger or supernatural powers as a normal was a smart person . He knew precisely what the word ' BALANCE ' meant .
He knew when to attack and when to defend , when to advance and when to retreat .
So this time he didn't receive any of those attack on directly instead used Shunshin no jutsu / body flicker technique to move away and directly appear in front of Kakashi and launched three consecutive palm strikes .
Kakashi who hadn't expected such a thing had little time to think a brought both his hands to defend against the incoming attack .
But infront of Leng Luo who was using Kegetane Hiruko's modified strength and Kaiou Kaku's martial arts Kakashi who was caught of gaurd had little to do .
So although he was able to block the first two strikes the third strike hit it's mark directly forcing Kakashi several steps back wincing in pain .
But Kakashi was genius for a reason . Soon he got up suppressing his pain and directly took out the famous Hakko Chakura To / White Light Chakra Sabre and charged towards Leng Luo .
Sakumo Hatake was the famous Konoha no Shiroi Kiba / White Fang of the Leaf whose mastery over the art of sword play was considered one of the greatest in the shinobi world . So Kakashi as his ginius son also inherited his talent in the sword art but due to various factors like Sakumo Hatake's untimely death he was not able to teach Kakashi all his techniques .
So even though Kakashi is a genius and was thought the basic of sword play by his father but unfortunately everything he learned after that were either from someone else or by himself .
And this made a huge gap in his basics .
As for Leng Luo although he had not learned any high level moves in Kenjutsu he had mastered 50 percent of Basic Kenjutsu training from the Land of Iron could easily through many of his flaws .
Don't underestimate the kenjutsu technique used by the samurai of the land of Iron .
Although not heavily popularized in the show due to it being a Shinobi dominating show one should not underestimate these Iron clad warriors and their prowess in Kenjutsu and Iaido .
Especially considering that one of the strongest character in the series Mifune was a samurai from the land of Iron who even earned respect from Hanzo of the Salamander .
And all these samurais started their practice with these basic techniques of which many were developed to especially counter Shinobis .
So when Leng Luo saw Kakashi's techniques he immediately saw many gaps and prepared to counter it .
As soon as Kakashi swinged his blade towards Leng Luo he quickly his left arm to block the attack by catching the blade .
" Ting ! "
Without any effort Leng Luo cought the blade with his right hand .
Here another difference between the two party was surfaced in form of their equipments .
A normal shinobi attire be it from Konohagakure or somewhere else is made and designed consists of a flak jacket which was gradually implemented and evolved from the time of Daiichiji Ninkai Taisen / First Shinobi World war replacing the Plate Armour that were commonly used during the warring states period .
These Flak jackets are made lightweighted for comfort , mobility and to carry shinobi tools ( while each shinobi village makes some adjustment to them according to their various conditions ) .
But on the flip side these Flak jackets are mass produced and give limited protection against attacks and various elements .
Where's Leng Luo's armour was of good quality brought from the System Shop . Although not a heaven grade or super heaven grade item it's easily better than any flak jacket worn by the shinobi even considering it's heavy weight .
So although Kakashi's sword is a great weapon that can easily cut through any shinobi attire it's not so affective against Leng Luo's armour especially if it's not properly strengthened by lightning element chakra or something else .
" Good sword but a pathetic display of swordsmanship . Go and train your basics first . " - Leng Luo said as he threw a powerful punch towards Kakashi sending him flying into a wall .
This punch contained a lot more power than his previous attack was intended to knock him out in one go .
And just as intended after being hit by the punch he couldn't move any further and sat down .
" Ding ! System Notice : Quest Overpower Minato Namikaze in a short confrontation completed :
Reward Granted :
( 1 ) 5,000 system points .
( 2 ) Mystic eyes of Tuatha De from world's finest assassin ( modified ) .
( 3 ) 600,000 Ryo .
Note : The mystic eyes will be automatically activated after 48 hours .
" "
" Ding ! Hidden Quest : Defeat Kakashi Hatake completed :
Reward Granted Basic : Basic Medical Ninjutsu .
" "
Seeing this Leng Luo's eyes slightly widened behind his mask as he never thought that defeating Kakashi would come as a hidden Quest . But it was good surprise .
And as for the time needed for the activation of Mystic eyes he had already guessed something like this so he was not overly surprised about that .
' Phew now that it's over it's time to leave this place . But before that their is one last thing . ' - thinking to himself he then turned around to look at the other members of team Minato .
By this time Rin had partially healed Minato and he was taking his fighting stance again .
Already completing his mission Leng Luo decided it was time to go .
" Wosh ! Wosh ! "
Suddenly a crack apaired in space behind Leng Luo . Soon it turned into a black portal with black clouds like things covering it completely .
" Enough of your foolish struggles . Remember it is my greatness that I am allowing you to live today . "
Saying those last words Leng Luo stepped inside the portal and instantly vanished from his place .
Soon the portal too disappeared leaving the entire place and team Minato in silence .
" Sensei what was that ? " - soon it was Obito who came out his stuper and asked Minato in complete confusion .
" That I don't know it seems like we are facing a trouble some opponent Sigh ! what can we do now let's just reported back to lord Hokage ! "
Seeing Leng Lao leave Minato said detectedly as he knew that this opponent is far stronger than what they had anticipated before coming to this place and from the information it would seem that he is not alone there but he is a leader of another organisation a well formed organisation with a well defined higher key .
Hearing this everyone including Rin Nohara who was treating Kakashi's injuries became sad and started packing up their things and called all the rest of the shinobies in the town to maintain order before leaving the town .
After completing everything team Minato set out quickly towards the village as the importance of this information is too much and the village and the third Hokage needs to informed about it immediately .
' But what was that strange force that pushed me back and then there is that strange portal which is most likely a advanced space time ninjutsu . And what does Black Knights means is it a hidden organisation or a elite division under some other shinobi village . If so how many members do they have , what's their strength , and what's their purpose . '
But even during his journey Minato couldn't come to terms with the strangeness of the events that transpired . From facing a team of Iwagakure Shinobi to facing this unknown man everything happened too fast .
He quickly analysed everything from Leng Luo's unusual physical strength to strange ninjutsus including the space portal that appeared in the end .
All these made Minato's heart extremely uneasy but at the same time he became even more resolute to protect his village and loved ones from any hidden threat .
' Leng Luo the leader of the Black knight next time we meet I will fight with my full strength and bring you down at any cost . I will not not allow me you or anyone else is to harm my loved ones . " - thought Minato in his heart as he had already accepted Leng Luo as the most dengerous man in his mind .
Location change : Leng Luo's secret base in the forest :
After coming to his secret base lainglau sorted out all the information he had carried from the mayor's mansion and thought about the events that happened in that day . Specially he fight with Minato .
" Phew ! It's a good thing that he has not yet reached the level of power he would in the future or else I might not have even have the chance do anything . But it's a good thing that my character templates have reached to this proficiency with it at least I can fight everyone under jonin level strength with my power without worry . "
Today's fight had many factors that one can think . One of the reasons why Leng Luo won the fight in this way is because of many factors in the event including Minato's refusal of using high level jutsus especially fire release jutsu as to not to harm the innocent civilians in the area where most of the houses are made of wood and his reluctance in using flying thunder God technique because of either underestimateing his opponents power or thinking that space between them is not good enough .
In fact while fighting Leng Luo had already used all of his cards including 60% of his Chakra reserves most of which he used while using his Suiton : Suidan no jutsu / Water Release : Water Bullet Technique to overpower Minato Namikazes attack . At the same time he also used all his powers of character templates and if Minato had fought even for another 5 minutes he would have been defeated without any option .
From the beginning to the end he never had the delusion that he could defeat Minato Namikaze in a proper fight .
So , he knew that after this battle that he was far from reaching a strong level and he must dedicate his time to grind from now now on an intensive level properly practicing his character temples day in and day out . At least completing one of it and then move on to the other one so that he can fight Minato next time without using any cheap tricks.
" But I need to be more careful from now on since I have already presented myself in front of the main cast its won't be long before Hiruzen Sarutobi comes to know about me and if he knows about me then that man Danzo Shimura will also come to know about me . Sigh ! I truly don't want that fool to come after me right now or his root shinobis but what can I do it would seem that I need to lay down for some time or do something else . "
" I guess this is my luck for being able to reincarnate in this world just like other main characters of different fanfictions but more importantly I have also revealed some of the information that I thought I would do afterwards , seems my plans need to be quickned . " - he thought to himself .
While introducing himself in front of team minato he deliberately named himself the leader of the Black knight this alone made this a simple fact that he was the leader of an organisation known as Black Knights and certainly an organisation is not made up of one man but has the lots of people in it . That means he will have to use different personas or recruit other members in his team to appear like a organisation in the future .
Although it has always been his plan he had yet to uncover how he will achieve this goal because he doesn't trust other people who can keep his secret and at the same time creating multiple personas will affect his own your life because he does not have to many character template right now .
" Well I will think about that later let's just check how much money I have earned this time . "
After thinking for a while he didn't came up with any solution for his previous problem instead he started remaging through his collections in order to see how much cash money and other items she had stolen ... cough ... cough or taken from the town lord's house .
In this world too money has a lot of importance after all though these shinobis are powerful they have to respect the Daimyo's because they are the one who are funding them and they can't do anything without it .
Leng Luo is also no different he too needs money after all if you want to form and organisation and to do a lot of research work in the future a lot of things need to be brought back with money and even if he doesn't need money to do those things and only system points are required he will need to create other personss to keep a public image and leave a outside life which also takes money and in order to do other activities like bribing officials , buying houses , etc money is also needed .
Time Skip : 10 minutes later :
After going through all the money in the collection of the town lords treasury he found about 1.5 million ryo in cash money and other valuable items that he did not know much value of .
But even without it he knew that he had already made a substantial amount even after leaving around 10,000 ryo in the Bar owner's hand for the disturbance and casualties in terms of collateral he had caused in his fight earlier in the town .
Obviously it was not necessary for him to so such kindness but he did so in order to full feel a greater goal in his mind .
In order for his organisation to be not become a public enemy and become a unique entity different from the shinobi villages he had decided to show a small amount of kindness to the people by giving some amount of money in compensation for their work in damages and other things before leaving the place .
This will not only provide a good base for them in term of public opinion but will also create confusion in other shinobi ranks for they won't be able to understand the purpose of his tactics .
" Wait what is this ? " - while searching through the antiques brought from the town lords treasury he found a unique box made of iron and decided to open it.
Just as he opened the box a blue light flashed and he found that the box contained a blue crystal about the size of a human hand palm .
Seeing this beautiful crystal laying in the box Leng Luo took it out of the box and inspected it from all the sides .
But after seeing that it had nothing more interesting but just as normal piece of crystal he quickly became uninterested in it but just as he was about to put it in the box and decided it to sell it somewhere else something unexpected happened.

Ding ! Special Quest Alert : Collect 3 blue crystal :
