Chapter 6: : First Mission: The chase

Mission rewards: 1500 system points, Three Basic Ninjutsu, Super Beast scroll.
Accept Mission...
Yes or No*
Seeing the system's interface pop up in his consciousness, Sasuke could feel the pressure descend onto him all of a sudden.
While he had yet to master any techniques or real battle skills, he couldn't allow himself to be killed by two third grade curses. That alone was humiliation that did not truly show he was deserving of the mantle of Uchiha Sasuke.
Gritting his teeth, he selected the yes option, gathered every iota of strength he could muster and bolted out of the alleyway.
***
The two curses wasted no time and rushed towards him, the massive furry curse chasing on all fours, smashing it's huge figure through any obstacle in its path, while the worm like one quickly burrowed into the ground and chased after him from the unseen.
Despite all of his efforts, he was only as fast as a regular human and the furry curse was dangerously close to his figure.
It roared, uprooting a massive building with it's huge arms and flung it towards Sasuke fleeing figure.
*BOOOM!*
Without even turning towards the incoming projectile, Sasuke quickly dropped to the ground, allowing the massive structure to swing over his head and crash into another building before him.
'At this rate they're going to get me easily!!.... It's coming!!'
He roared out in his heart, as he continued his run, ignoring the pain that began emerging in his lower extremities, before hurling himself onto another path. About a few seconds later, the worm curse erupted from the ground, jaw first, and angrily burrowed after catching nothing once more.
'I need to get faster!! Faster!!..
Cursed Energy!!!'
Realization dawned on him, and his eyes widened noticing how foolish he had been thinking he could escape two third grades without utilizing a drop of cursed energy to facilitate his movement.
He sucked in deep breaths, closing his eyes for a brief moment and focusing on the pure purplish black energy that burned within his heart like flames.
Unlike most sorcerers who had trouble sensing cursed energy and even manipulating it, his Sharingan granted him an affinity to cursed energy so great that it eclipsed everyone else.
Such talent for Jujutsu was only surpassed by Gojo Satoru himself with the six eyes.
Cursed energy, while of the same essence like chakra, fundamentally differed in the aspect of its source. Chakra was borne from fusing life energy with physical energy, while cursed energy was borne from the negative emotions of man.
While both looked like opposites of a spectrum, their applications bore extreme similarities such as strengthening, healing and many more.
Using his Sharingan as a catalyst to interact with his cursed energy, he felt it move as he willed it, soaking every bone and muscle in his body.
He felt his body grow lighter, and before he knew it, he began accelerating pass human levels of speed, as he laughed internally.
*Mission accomplished: Cursed energy activation and manipulation.
Reward: 200 system points.*
The two curses, as if entering a silent agreement increased their speed simultaneously, drawing closer and closer with every passing second.
Ducking under another projectile, he empowered his legs with cursed energy and hurled himself into the sky, dodging another attack from the worm curse.
'Its not going to work. Running on the ground puts me at a severe disadvantage against those two. But the worm can only burrow into the ground therefore....'
Despite the fear in his heart, Sasuke felt greatly annoyed. Those two curses were pincer attacking him.
While ducking below the projectiles that the furry curse was hurling towards him, he had to constantly focus his Sharingan to track movements in the ground in order to escape the worms timed attacks. It was getting rather exhausting at this point.
However, at that point he remembered. Shinobi from the elemental states had a unique technique of attaching a thin frame of chakra to their feet which allowed them to achieve impossible effects such as running or walking on water or along trees.
If he could apply that with cursed energy, he could achieve the same effect, becoming a literal ninja in the world of sorcerers.
Taking off his focus from his surroundings for a moment, he delved deeper and tapped into more of the purplish black cursed energy within his core, calling forth tendrils of it, that slowly encased his entire body, bathing him a purplish black glow.
As if being stirred by the sight of his cursed energy, the curses seemed even more hungry and increased their pace wanting to catch up.
*BANG!*
Before he could complete his skill, he was hurled into the distance by an earthquake from the worm cursed spirit, as his body skid along the rocky surface.
"Fuck!"
He cursed out grabbing his chest in pain and dragged himself to his feet only to notice the two curses attacking him from the left and right flanks.
At that point he wondered whether those curses were humans. Not many human teammates cold execute such flawless teamwork, at least according to him.
Quickly pulling onto the tendrils of cursed energy with his will, he forced them onto the soles of his feet and hurled himself into the air in time, allowing the two beasts to crash into one another.
This time, rather than land on the ground, he forced himself to land along the walls of a building, utilizing the cursed energy beneath the soles of his feet skillfully, to keep him attached to the building.
"Hahaha!"
He began walking along the walls, keeping himself glued by his cursed energy, and when it was successful, he couldn't help but burst out in a laugh.
Now the real game was about to begin. He had already formulated a plan to escape from the two beasts. How you may ask? By borrowing strength from others.
Entering into deep thought, he couldn't help but look into the distance after a moment, as a smile formed on his face.
"##£££6£7&£:#+##..*
The two cursed spirits recovered in a moment and rushed towards the building he was currently on, and he readied himself.
The red furry creature grabbed onto the building with it's huge arms and pushed it, wanting to shake him off, however he smiled, and let himself fall towards the beast.
With his Sharingan, he stared right into the massive pupils of the curse, poured enough cursed energy into the Sharingan and immoblized the curse for a moment with an illusion, before he hurled a kunai towards it, and grabbed the metal wire attached to its end.
As the kunai pierced towards the curse, he pulled onto it, using the momentum to hurl himself towards the beast faster.
Materialising two more kunai, he hurled them right into the massive eyeballs of the beast that was starting to recover from its drowsy state, causing it to roar out pain, distracting it, as he landed gracefully and soundlessly, like a butterfly.
"Eat this!!"
Laughing, he pulled out multiple explosive tags and attached them onto the body of the curse before he flipped once more, and hurled himself into the air.
Noticing movements from underground, he pulled out a kunai and hurled it into the wall of a tall building, before pulling on it, hurling himself just a hair's breath away from the massive jaws of the worm that erupted from the ground.
