Story
The Hokage's House

Hiruzen Sarutobi has just started to give the newly formed Konohagakure Special Kekkei Genkai Jōnin their very first team mission. As Kekkei Genkai Jōnin, they had expected to receive an S-Rank mission, in which they did. However, much to their surprise, the Hokage warned them not to be reckless, since this is their first S-rank mission. None of them went on any mission of that kind individually.

Hiruzen started speaking, "One of the Kirigakure shinobi has given their report to their Mizukage. He barely escaped, because the rest of the shinobi who was with him were already dead. He instead stayed back somewhere far away to watch the scenery. It seems that the Mizukage wishes to seek help from Konoha."

He cleared his throat and continued, "The report stated that a special Kekkei Genkai shinobi of Kumogakure was the one who mostly massacred the attacking Kiri shinobi team."

That made Kona brightened up. A Kekkei Genkai shinobi was whom he would like to face and make friends with. With great interest, he asked, "Who is the Kekkei Genkai shinobi? And what Kekkei Genkai does he have?"

"Masatsu, aged 16, male, and a Kumogakure jōnin. A hero of Kumo, who wielded the Kekkei Genkai, the Friction Release, simultaneously formed up by the Earth and Lightning Releases.
