《Reincarnated In a Naruto like world》 Prologue chapter 1 Prologue "Ah finally finished". I had just completed a mega binge watch and caught up to date with the latest episodes of One Piece, Dragon ball, and the Naruto franchise. I would say it was a strain on my endurance but as I love each and everyone of them it was relatively easy. I have however noticed that I smell rather funky. It would seem I have neglected myself whilst engrossed in my binge. For the last few weeks I have barely eaten and drank anything I have worn the same clothes for days on end and I haven''t washed. I just now became aware of just how much my head is hurting. My lips are incredibly dry and the skin is pealing. I stand up from my comfortable reclining chair and the room begins to spin. I gingerly reach for a bottle of water out of the small fridge and take a few sips. The cold water feels on my tongue like how I imagine a desert would during a rainstorm. The small sips began to be replaced by large chucking sounds as my adams apple bobbed with each glug of water swallowed. After getting my fill of water I head towards my balcony for some fresh air. I live on the top floor of an apartment building and the cool breeze up here always brings me back to life after a binge. This time however I must have binged more than ever as each step I took towards my balcony was like I was walking in mud. Finally I reached the balcony and no soon as I stood against the railing and the cool air hit me I felt my body collapse. My body felt weightless as I tumbled 20 stories below. I was fully aware of everything. The feeling of falling was oddly quite fun. No wonder sky divers enjoy it so much. That feeling however came to a sudden halt the moment i hit the ground. I don''t think it hurt as all I seemed to be aware of is a sudden inescapable blackness. As I was sinking into inky black abyss that was death I felt an unmistakeable pull. I felt as though my entire being was lassoed and being pulled out of a thick black tar pit. AsI exited I took a large gasp of breath. Well that''s how I would describe it even though I was dead and didn''t seem to breath any more.This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it I was slowly being pulled towards a bright light. Is this the so called tunnel to the after life. I was quickly disappointed however as the bright light at the end of the tunnel seemed to be a burning bluish hell fire. Suddenly as I began to panic. "Am I going to hell" two sets of hands grasped me. One set of hands was glowing a golden aura the other glowing silver. They untied the lasso from around me and carried me away from the burning hell fire. I felt a warmth whilst in their embrace it was somehow maternal and comforting. I lost all sense of reason and began to black out. Chapter One When I came to I found that I was lay down on a comfortable sofa with a soft wool blanket draped over me. As I began to stir I noticed two people. Both wearing oddly anime inspired outfits. A young man was dressed like Midoria from My Hero Academia and the young woman was dressed like Yugi from YuGiOh. Their blond silky hair waving with their flowing auras. "ah so you are awake little spirit" The voice came from a young beautiful man his golden aura felt warm and gave a sense of safety. "Good thing we came when we did" said an equally beautiful young woman. Her aura was silver and gave an oddly familiar feeling atmosphere. "Threat not little soul. We saved you from burning in those petty God''s hell. We saw how you lived your life and we approve". The young man said "Allow us to introduce ourselves. I am the God of Anime" said the young man with the golden aura. "And I am the Goddess of Manga" said the young woman. "Huh" I was drawing a blank how can such Gods and Goddesses exist. "See now brother he¡¯s so awe struck by our divinity he can barely react". "You are right sister. Its a good job Big sister the Goddess of light novels isn''t here I am afraid the stimulus would melt his little mind". I listened to the two of them talking and laughing then suddenly their jovial attitude became deadly serious. "Little soul you died and those petty gods saw how you lived your life as slothful and meaningless". The God of Anime said. "Because of that they sentenced you to hell. We rescued you because we sensed in you a love for Anime and Manga". Said the Goddess of Manga "However we must send your soul to another dimension to be safe from them. Our sister the Goddess of light novels has secretly created many universes based on our collective works" "We require you to choose one and we will quickly transfer your soul over so that you can be safe" Said the Goddess with a sense of sadness. "You see we are not meant to interfere with souls but we can never resist when we come across a soul such as yours who loves our work so much". Said the God I was immediately excited but it dawned on me such a terrible thing, I didn''t know which universe I wanted to live in. The three top contenders were Dragon Ball Naruto or One Piece. I loved them all equally The God and Goddess seemed to understand my dilemma and they both smiled. With a flick of a wrist a spinning board appeared out of thin air. On the board were the three choices of Dragon Ball Naruto and One piece along with a fourth section with a question mark written on it. They directed me to spin the board so I did as I was told. I watched it spin around making a clickety clack sound as each section passed the pointer. Eventually it started to slow down. My eyes widened as Dragon ball passed the pointer. It was soon followed by Naruto and One piece and landed on the Question mark. The God and Goddess began bouncing around in a circle. They were holding hands and yipping with glee. Suddenly a haze began to envelope me. "Good bye little soul, I hope you like the universe we send you to" said them both their voices overlapping. My sight became more blurred as all I could hear was their laughing and prancing becoming dimmer and dimmer until I was surrounded in nothingness. Luckily it wasn''t as terrifying as the inky blackness from earlier. In fact it seemed to lull me off into a comfortable sleep. Chapter 2 Chapter Two I found myself floating around in the blurry environment for who knows how long. My sense of time has been messed up completely. Suddenly however a box filled with text appeared before my very eyes. [Welcome..... So you are the stray my little brother and sister sent my way. I am the Goddess of Light novels. I hear you spun the question mark icon. That means I have sent you to a world of my own devising. I hope you like it. Don''t worry. You will find lots of things you are familiar with. I have however made just enough tweaks to keep you on your toes. I hope you enjoy your time in this world after you are born] What does this mean after I am born. Is this place my new mothers womb. Just as I began thinking another box filled with text appeared. [Oh by the way as I am the goddess of Light Novels I have taken the opportunity to grant you a few Light novel like abilities..... I know you are grateful there''s no need to thank me. You have the standard Appraisal, Storage box, even an ability to steal the bodies of others and replicate any part to your liking..... See aren¡¯t I nice. Good luck Hun XX] After this message my entire body felt incredibly hot. I found myself being constricted from all angles. Is this what a pythons victim feels like. This continued on and off over the next several hours. Occasionally I could hear screaming and even the occasional swear word. That¡¯s right I was being born and from the sounds of it my new Mother is one lady you do not want to get on the wrong side of. It has been three months since I was born. Using my appraisal ability i have gathered some quite odd results. For example I am Name: Rowan Clan: SenjuEnsure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website. Race: Human Age: Three Months Chakra Nature: Water, Earth,Lightning Kekkei Genkai: Not yet activated Unique ability: Body Snatcher, Appraisal, Item box It would turn out that I have been born as a cousin of Tsunade within the hidden leaf village oh Konoha. My Mother Emily Senju is from one of the branch family of the Senju clan. My Father is Seemingly absent. She has beautiful blonde hair and a full figure much like the grown up Tsunade. I am being raised with a fellow newborn called Nawaki. He is loud and cries a lot. I swear to god I feel like Broly in the old Dragon Ball movie¡¯s. We have a wet nurse that is responsible for our care. It seems Mother has already resumed missions. Damn women are tough. Just as I was Lost in my thoughts baby Nawaki rolled over and his sharp little baby nails pocked me right in the eye. I was so pissed off but sadly the only way my body responded was to also cry. Just when I couldn''t feel any more embarrassed by myself as I took an intake of air to continue crying I soiled myself. Damn stupid baby body. The Wet Nurse came in and began to settle us both down. First she got Nawaki to sleep then when rocking me I decided now would be a good time to try out my Unique ability. I pretended to also fall asleep and just as she was placing me upon my cot i struck. My mind suddenly took over her body. I looked down at my adorable little baby face. I have the same blonde hair as Mother but my skin is a bit more dark almost tanned in complexion. I was amazed at how delicate and squishy my body looked. My body has fallen fast asleep. This is very much like the Yamanaka clans the only difference is that My version requires physical contact. The mind of my victim has been put soundly to sleep within my own body so I don''t have to worry about them forcing me out of their body. The only downside to this however is that I am on a strict timer. I can see in the top corner of my vision saying I have exactly 30minutes before our minds switch back. I was amazed to find myself in the body of a woman but what I find most amazing is the strength this body holds. The wet nurse is a woman from the Uchiha clan. She is a retired Ninja from a branch family of the Uchiha. Her leg was injured during a mission and was unable to be healed completely. It doesn''t effect her day to day life but she is no longer capable of being a ninja. It was thought by giving an Uchiha such an important job as caring for the new generation of Senju it would bring our clans closer together. I couldn''t help but think there was more to it though. I slowly walked towards the mirror in the living room and looked at the woman whose body I control. I activated my Appraisal ability to find she Name: Silvia Clan: Uchiha Race: Human Age: Twenty Two years old Chakra Nature: Fire, Water, Earth Kekkei Genkai: Sharingan (TWO TOMOE) Because of the effects of Body snatcher I am intimately familiar with the workings of this body. I activate the Sharingan. I could see that Silvia¡¯s Chakra had an almost flame like appearance. I was hypnotised by the way these eyes see the world and quickly lost track of the timer at the top. I quickly deactivated the Sharingan and returned to the room I share with Nawaki. I reached down and held myself in the same way I was being held before the body swap and as the clock hit zero we switched back. Silvia looked momentarily confused but quickly shrugged it off. I while pretending to be asleep allowed her to place me down and leave the room. I quickly noticed a new timer that replaced the old one. As I focused on it information flooded my brain telling me that I had until the timer was up to make the alterations on my body before I forgot How Silvia''s body operated. It was at the moment she left the room that I gave the second ability of Body Snatcher a try. I felt a warm feeling within my eyes. It was almost as though wax was being melted then reformed and hardened again. As it did I looked around keenly aware that my vision is now the same as Silvia¡¯s when her Sharingan is active. In my mind I was doing some epic evil bad guy laugh as I had stolen the Sharingan from the Uchiha. My joy was short lived however. I had barely even altered two Cells to produce Uchiha like Chakra when the timer ran out. I quickly came down with a fever and lost conciousness. Chapter 3 Chapter Three The Senju clan was in an uproar as I suddenly was taken Ill. I was constantly under the care of the Konoha hospital for several weeks. I overheard the cause being that I was dangerously low on Chakra with no sign of it recovering. I felt annoyed with myself thinking that the cause is obviously because I integrated the Sharingan into my body without giving it any thought before hand. In the Anime and Manga the Sharingan took a huge toll on Kakashi yet imagine that strain placed in the body of a young baby. The only thing I had going for me is the incredible life force and Chakra that the Senju have. I am constantly being fed a concoction of medical herbs and Amakichi food pills to recover my Chakra. I have attempted to change my body enough to integrate the conflicting Senju and Uchiha bloodlines and Chakra together. I am sadly lacking the Chakra required at the minute so It is a slow and arduous process. Four months of being stuck in the Konoha hospital has played havoc with my development. Even though I am now Seven months old I am no bigger than I was when I first entered the hospital. The Nurses and Doctors would make a fuss over me but I can see the look on their faces. None of them think I am going to make it. Amusingly I have already gotten my body accustomed to the conflicting Uchiha and Senju Chakra The few Cells in my body that produce Uchiha like Chakra I was able to combine with Senju Cells via Body Snatcher. I then proceeded to replace each Cell in my body with these combined Cells leading to myself making a full recovery. My Mother had returned from her last mission and when she heard I was in the hospital she bulldozed her way through to me like a crazy woman.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. She even dragged along my cousin Tsunade along demanding she give her a second opinion. Tsunade at this point while a capable medical ninja is not the force she would one day be known to be. She however gave me an examination in hopes of placating my crazed Mother. With a look of relief Tsunade explained that it looks like what ever was draining my Chakra is no longer an issue. My Mother wept tears of joy at the news and held me so close I thought my little underdeveloped bones were going to break. After several weeks of rehabilitation I was finally allowed to leave the hospital. The Doctors were concerned about my stunted growth but decided that in time I should catch up eventually. I wanted to use my new found Sharingan to copy the medical Ninjutsu sadly however being but a baby I lack the required Chakra to activate the Sharingan for long. I only managed to use it for just a few seconds. I was barely able to make out much of the secrets of medical Ninjutsu before my Chakra bottomed out and I passed out again. Even though I used my body snatcher ability to become accustomed to it. My Sharingan still requires Chakra to maintain its use. It may not be as fuel efficient as a true Uchiha''s but its still far more efficient than Kakashi''s was in the anime and manga. When my Chakra reserves increase with my growth I should be able to activate it as and when I need it. The problem is that right now my body needs Chakra to grow. Because of this I have put a temporary ban on using the Sharingan. When I returned home the Senju threw a Celebration for my exit from the Hospital. Almost all the clan were there. Silvia the wet nurse was also there. She was making just as much a fuss over my return to health as my Mother. The thing I was most disappointed with however was baby Nawaki. He was now twice the size of me. Every time we were put together he would unknowingly pull and poke at me. Given the size disparity I found his behaviour a little too rough. On one such time I lost control of my temper and activated my Body Snatcher skill just to make him stop. I was amazed how much Chakra was housed within his body. The difference between the main house and the branch family is surely great. His Cells were producing Chakra at a rate that was over four times more efficient than my own. Using the small amount of Medical Ninjutsu I was capable of I quickly sensed how his Cells operated and cancelled the body switch. As Body Snatcher doesn''t use any Chakra at all I began modifying the operation my cells to duplicate the same Chakra production as Nawaki. It must have seemed quite odd to the adults around seeing a seven month old baby so engrossed in something but I wanted to make the alterations before I forgot how Nawaki''s Cells operated. I raced against the timer to implement the changes into a few Cells at least that way when the timer runs out I can duplicate those Cells later on with Body Snatcher. It truly is regrettable that I immediately forget how the entire body of my victim works but luckily I can replicate any changes I make to myself. Chapter 4 Chapter Four I am now one year old. I am currently at Konoha daycare. I was amazed to find out that Konoha has such a place. In the anime and manga the only educational facility is the Ninja academy. I am brought here once a day for a few hours to play with other children my age. I am still however smaller than other children my age. Even though my body is now producing Chakra at a rate far higher than before It seems that the head start in development these children have over me is hard to over turn. As I am so small a lot of the female children seem to fuss over me. I have to admit I find It rather annoying but should I voice such thoughts people would correctly state how unchildlike I am. Pretending to be an ordinary child is incredibly stressful. I was in for quite a shock however at day care. I originally thought this world was mostly based off of the Naruto anime and Manga. Imagine my surprise while in daycare to come across baby versions of Vegeta Nappa and Raditz from Dragon Ball. It was only then that I remembered this universe had several things that the Goddess of Light Novel''s said she inserted to keep me on my toes. This no doubt means it is not just the world of Naruto that was inserted into this universe. Who would have thought Dragon Ball and who knows what else could be come across in this universe. My Otaku nature was abuzz with excitement at the possibilities. Apparently they are from the Saiyan Clan. The Saiyan Clan are known to be one of the best when it comes to Taijutsu. Their abilities to use Chakra are negligible but they have overcome this handicap by developing the use of Ki. While the Clan are not hired by the Village as Ninjas they are however hired as mercenaries that use their bizarre strength to fight along side the Ninja squadrons. My eyes shined with this new prey before me. Just Imagine what I could do If I implemented a Saiyan¡¯s physiology into myself. Vegeta and Nappa are as a rule very unsociable. They avoid the other children. Raditz however is constantly left behind by the two.The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation. Because of this he has little choice but to play with the other children. I take my chance and approach him. He seems far more timid than a Saiyan should in my mind. I stumble over with a few tottering toddler steps. "OH big brother looks stwong" I say in embarrassingly baby talk. This however puts a huge smile on Raditz''s face. "I like you. You can see just how strong this big brother is can''t you" he said with a smug look on his face. As the Saiyan clan are known to develop faster his speech and and physical strength are far higher than the other clans children at this age. It took me less than a minute of flattery to get him to play with me. The Saiyan clan children are known to play roughly so it didn''t take long for him to try and wrestle with me. The second he did I activated Body snatcher. "Hahahah" I stood with my legs apart with my hands on my hips. To the outside it looks like Raditz had played to roughly with me and caused me to lose consciousness. The adult in charge quickly comes over and scolds Raditz. I can''t help but smile however. I quickly become intimate with the workings of the Saiyan clans physiology. Their muscles are far thicker and their bones are far denser. They also have the tail that was present in the Dragon Ball series. No soon as the timer runs out I find myself being placed on a small matt with a blanket over me. They seem to have done quick first aid to make sure I am not injured. When I am under the blanket I begin altering my bones and muscles to match a Saiyan clans body. I stop short at growing a tail as I am not sure if in this world they become a great ape or not but its not something I want to risk. It would also be suspicious if I just suddenly grew a tail. As their Cells are unable to produce Chakra but Ki instead I don''t completely modify mine to match. I become something more akin to Gohan a half Saiyan By doing this i am however find a perfect balance between Chakra and Ki production. The two forms of energy seem to fuse together within my Cells. Just one look can see that it is a highly volatile form of energy. I activate my Sharingan to look at the energy in more detail. The energy has retained the power of Ki and the adaptability of Chakra. The two forms of energy seem to multiply each other qualities rather than add to them I use my memories of the Dragon ball z episode where Gohan teaches Videl about Ki. I manage to separate a small amount of the energy into the palm of my hand. I then found that it is far easier to inject a nature element than pure Chakra. My fingers begin to crackle with electricity. I quickly shut it off before I lose control of it as its still new and requires experimentation. I did however find that the Saiyan body is unnaturally predisposed to energy manipulation, even as a half Saiyan. I begin chuckling away under the blanket not realising that the sparks of electricity have accidentally scorched a few of the threads. I decide there and then that should I come across any other characters from other anime and manga I will continually use body snatcher and rebuild myself as the ultimate Anime/manga protagonist. I already possess the body of a Saiyan/Senju and the eyes of an Uchiha. Who wouldn''t do the same thing if they were me right now. Chapter 5 Chapter Five Today is my fifth birthday. It''s hard to believe that it has been five years since I have been reborn into this world. My Mothers gave me a gift I really wasn''t expecting. A small black furred puppy. According to Silvia it is a Ninken that was the runt of its litter. As such the Inuzuka clan had little use for it. Silvia convinced them to allow us to take it. I watched as the small ball of fur timidly examined our home. Its little nose sniffing all the unfamiliar smells. As it came close to me I could sense how nervous it was. I gently placed my hand forward but not far enough to touch it. After a moment of hesitation the little Ninken rubbed its head against my hand. Its warm incredibly soft fur rubbed against my palm. My Mothers watched this scene tenderly. Ninken are far more intelligent than your standard dog. They have been raised by the Inuzuka clan for generations to be the perfect partners for their style of Ninjutsu. I tenderly began stroking the little Ninken and watch as its little eyes began to get heavy and it fell asleep enjoying being stroked. "What are you going to name it?!" Silvia asked. I gave it some thought for a moment and replied "Kuma". My mothers looked at me confused until I said "It looks like a tiny hibernating black bear while its asleep". They both smiled and agreed "Very well Kuma it is". Now that i have become five I am now allowed to join the academy. The first years a not much different than going to day care but there are introductions to Ninjutsu and Chakra. I have learned pretty well from my Mothers how to form my Chakra. Chakra is formed by moulding ones Spiritual and Physical energy together. This creates what is known as Chakra. This is the power source of all Ninjutsu Genjutsu and Taijutsu. There is an exercise involving sticking a leaf to ones forehead with Chakra that helps concentrate and control their chakra. I quickly grasped the leaf concentration method my Mothers taught me. They were amazed that I grasped it so quickly. I have begun introducing the Saiyan Clans Ki into the formula but as of yet it is next to impossible to get the correct balance. The Saiyan clans Ki unlike Chakra is made up of three separate parts. These are the Genki, the Yuki, and the Shoki. Because of all the moving parts of forming both Ki and Chakra I am only able to use them separately as of yet. But given enough time and training I hope to combine them.If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. Luckily the Saiyan clan are able to naturally control this Ki so i didn''t require much training to understand it. Also watching the anime and reading the manga in my past life helps me visualize its correct usage. Today is my first day at the academy. I am walked there in the company of both my Mothers and Kuma. As we are outside I have to be careful not to call Silvia Mother though. I can''t help but see the sadness in her eyes each time I call her Aunt Silvia. If it wasn''t for the stupid relationships between clans I''m sure they would have been married long before now. The sun is rising and illuminating the whole of Konoha. It couldn''t be any better a day to begin my time at the academy. The ninja academy is quite expensive for a parent to send their child to. There are however systems in place such as scholarships for students with gifted abilities. Konoha is always looking to develop great ninjas so Grand Father Tobirama the second Hokage set in place this system to help nurture the best of the next generation. I intend to make my self stand out just enough to qualify for this scholarship as I don''t want my mothers to worry about our finances. The first day at the academy begins with speech by the third Hokage. He is far younger than in the anime seemingly barely in his late twenties. Behind him were a young Tsunade Jiraiya and Orochimaru the three future Sannin. He began his usual talk about the Will of Fire. All the children and even their parents watched on with looks of amazement. Strangely enough it was Silvia not Mother who seemed the more amazed out of my parents. Then again there were Uchiha in the anime and manga that avoided the curse of hatred caused by awakening the Sharingan. Around me were all the bright eyed excitable children I must have been quite the odd duck looking as uninterested as I was. As much as I enjoy my life in Konoha its my Mothers that make my life here so enjoyable. Because of that I find it hard to buy into the whole every clan and every person is one family within Konoha. If that was the truth why are the Senju and Uchiha still at odds. Sure it may not be on the battlefield any more but behind the scenes they still battle each other with politics. Not to mention some of the other clans who don''t get along there are even rifts within their own clans for example the Hyuga and their constant branding of cursed marks on those in the branch family in order to control them. While I think one should be kind to those around them I feel it is naive to assume we are all family. I sat bored until the long winded speech finished. At the end every one gave a rousing round of applause to the smiling third Hokage. Afterwards we were given a tour of the academy and directed to our classroom. It was brightly coloured there were toys around that at first glance seem to be just for play but hold training value for raising young ninjas. Our parents were finally about to leave. There were some young children crying for their parents that were leaving. I however simply said my goodbyes to my Mothers, but not however before they warned me not to use my Sharingan. The teachers gave us all a quick test to see if we have any skills. They weren''t expecting much but there were some from a few major clans that raised an eye brow. The test was the simple leaf concentration that my Mothers taught me. There were a few who managed to stick it for a little while before losing control of their chakra. I did it with ease and gave my teachers a bored looking expression. The day was at the academy after that was relatively boring. There were songs and games but to me that seemed to be kid stuff. There were a few others who were not really that interested. In the corner an Uchiha was getting bossy with two twin Hyuga¡¯s over who had the better bloodlines. The teachers quickly put a stop to it before anything could really happen. All In all I was disappointed by my first day of Ninja academy. I think it showed as the teachers kept trying to get me involved and asking me questions. I simply shut them down with quick and always correct answers. Even the ninja games that the other kids loved I felt were a complete waste of my time. There was a point in the day when the kids tired themselves out. I was debating using my body snatcher ability on some of them but there were very few that really interested me. I was tempted by the two Hyuga boys but from what I over heard neither had awakened their Byakugan yet. The day ended and when my Mothers picked me up they asked how my day was to which I feigned some excitement just to appear slightly normal. To celebrate we went to eat at the barbecue place known as Yakiniku Q. According to Mother I have been selected as one of the Scholarship students in the academy. This is the major reason we are celebrating. Chapter 6 Chapter Six We arrive back home and as soon as we do both of my Mothers faces become incredibly stern. They look at each other then Silvia scoops me up and holds me protectively. Mother enters the house then suddenly a bunch of shuriken¡¯s crash through the window. The sound s of a scuffle break out with the sound of clashing metal. There is a sudden shock-wave as the house begins to tilt slightly. Within moments a fireball erupts through the front door. Mother is caught up in the blast. Silvia screams "Emie!" as I watch from within the now tightening grasp on Silvia. Our breath is caught in our throat as we watch as Mother isn''t moving. Silvia rushes towards her. Suddenly a figure thrusts a kunai towards me. Silvia turns and uses her body to cover me. Blood erupts from her back as her face contorts in pain. I then notice that the person who attacked has two glowing red eyes. I gasped both eyes were fully matured three Tomoe Sharingan. As Silvia begins to move sluggishly she activates her own Sharingan. The unknown Uchiha makes a move but yet again Silvia attempts to protect me. The Uchiha looks at Silvia condescendingly. He lands a swift kick from the side. His Silvia¡¯s ribs make a crunching sound under the pressure. in the shock of the blow Silvia accidentally drops me and I''m sent rolling. As I lift my head I see both my Mothers down and not moving. Something snaps in my brain. Tears begin to well up within my eyes. These tears burn like acid. These are the type of tears no person should ever shed. These are tears containing all of my rage. It was then the unknown Uchiha looks at me. His eyes lock on to mine and he says in surprise "Byakugan!". I use my appraisal ability to see Name: Kotaro Clan: Uchiha Race: HumanStolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. Age: Twenty Six years old Chakra Nature: Fire, Earth, Lightening Kekkei Genkai: Mangekyo Sharingan. My entire vision now contains an almost 360 degree scope of my surroundings. While the Uchiha is off guard I focus a large amount of Ki into my feet. I push off the ground flying towards him with incredible speed. I take out of my storage box a Kunai I managed to sneak away. I prepare to thrust it deep into the Uchiha. The Uchiha attempts to dodge but he remains in my scope of vision. I repeatedly chase him down and slash at him only for him to dodge. If not for the mobility from my Ki usage his speed would be far too much for me. I am soon getting exhausted though. I feel as though every fibre of my being is on fire with each laboured breath. I struggle to channel my Chakra into my kunai while at the same time manipulating Ki to keep me mobile. I am quickly running out of both and the situation is becoming more and more desperate. I am sorely lacking any kind of finishing move. I would attempt to copy a move from Dragon ball but this Uchiha is moving far too quickly for me to be able to hit him with a shoddy imitation. Suddenly I realise I have an ability that can turn this around. It will however be incredibly risky. I feign a momentary lapse in concentration to which the Uchiha pounces. He almost disappears and reappears in-front of me. Even with my Byakugan he was difficult to track. Just as he attempts to stab me with his kunai I grab on to his hand activating Body Snatcher. My Small body drops to the floor and I suddenly catch myself. I didn''t have time to think about what an odd situation catching my falling self is. I could barely see so it was quite lucky I caught myself. A sudden thought flashed into my mind. I quickly put myself down. A new feature was indicating underneath the timer. It said Automatic copy. I focused on that and a prompt appeared "DO YOU WANT TO USE AUTOMATIC COPY Y/N". I selected yes and It started to copy everything from the top of his head and his brain and worked my way down. Somehow my Body Snatcher ability has improved since I last used it. If I had to guess awakening my Byakugan forced my skills to increase. They increased so much that by copying his brain I was able to access his memories. This also included his Knowledge of Jutsu including techniques reserved for the main Uchiha family members. I was shocked to find his eyes that could barely see were a drastically over used pair of Mangekyo Sharingan. It was no wonder Silvia was unable to combat him with her own Sharingan. The timer was quickly running down. Copying his memories and his Mangekyo Sharingan took almost all my time. I quickly took the Kunai and severed the tendons in his legs followed by his arm. This way if my plan fails he shouldn''t be able to cause any damage. I was struggling to cope with the pain but I watched as the timer ticked down. Just as it reached its final ten seconds I slashed the Uchiha¡¯s throat. 10,9,8,7 Blood began to gurgle and I could taste the metallic coppery taste of his blood. 5,4,3 My mind was becoming panicked. All my survival instincts told me to hold the wound tight but I refused. I just watched the timer tick the final 2,1. Then suddenly I was back in my own body. Another new prompt appeared asking "DO YOU WANT TO BACK UP NEW DATA Y/N". I clicked yes as I didn''t have the time in implement the changes right now. I watched as the Uchiha¡¯s was gurgling his last breaths. I manage to drag myself over to Silvia and Mother. I begin using the pathetic amount of medical Ninjutsu with my last remaining amount of Chakra. I slowly heal Silvia as I decided I barely had enough Chakra to get her awake again. I put all my hopes in her being able to heal Mother. Just as the wound on Silvia¡¯s back and her bones began to heal I completely ran out of Chakra. As such I lost complete conciousness. Chapter 7 Chapter Seven I awoke to find myself in the Konoha hospital. I was feeling incredibly weak. My Chakra levels were at the bare minimum required to keep concious. I got up from the bed as my legs and arms began to shake. As I was about to but my foot onto the floor a nurse of the hospital ran in to stop me. "Please just lay back down young man you are far too weak" she said sternly. I looked at her and asked "Where is my Mother and Silvia?" The woman sighed and said "wait right there I will go get a wheel chair and take you to them". She left the room I felt a moment of relief as it is obvious they aren''t dead from her response. The nurse came back and helped me on the wheel chair and pushed me to the intensive care ward. Mother was wrapped up in bandages soaked in burn medicine and Silvia had her ribs bandaged up. Silvia was awake but looked to be in obvious pain. The moment she saw me she tried to move but the nurse scolded her just like she did to me. She rolled me by Silvia and said "I will let you two talk for a few minutes but don''t over do it okay". When the nurse left Silvia looked at me with the kind of relief only a Mother can have when she knows her child is okay. "How are you feeling?" She asked me. "I''m okay just tired. are you and Mother going to be okay?" I asked in reply. "Yes little Row. Your Mothers skin has been being healed and regenerated by the Doctors here. Their Medical Ninjutsu is of a really high level". She explained to me as simply as she could. The Doctors had simply wrapped mother up in order to keep the parts of her skin that hadn''t yet been healed from rotting. Regenerating skin is heavily Chakra draining and unlike characters such as Tsunade or Sakura from the manga they lack the control of their Chakra to keep at it for long periods of time only using the bare minimum Chakra required to regenerate the skin. This reminded me of the part in Shippuden where Sakura regenerates Naruto¡¯s skin after he goes four tailed Chakra cloak. She even had the healing effect of Naruto being a Jinchuriki on her side for that too. Myself and Silvia talked for a while but the nurse soon came back and told me I need to return to my room to rest. Silvia agreed and encouraged me saying that when she is allowed to move she will come to talk to me some more.If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. After I returned to my room I activated the backup data I got from the Uchiha. I was delved deep within his memories there I saw him talking to the head of their clan. "We have had a worrying report Kotoro. Fugaku''s Mother over heard Silvia Uchiha of the branch family and Emily Senju warning a child of the Senju not to use his Sharingan". "Is that true leader" Kotoro replied with a shocked expression. "We are not sure but I wish for you to see for your self if the child has a Sharingan. If you put enough mental pressure on him it should activate without his control. I order you to attack them when you have the chance. If he does indeed have a Sharingan you are to kill the Senju child his Mother and the traitor to our clan". Kotoro then used the body flicker technique and left the clan heads room and headed towards the home of Emily Senju. He explored their house and found no traces of Uchiha scrolls that could be used to train a Sharingan. As He was looking around the family arrived home. Kotoro attempted to take them by surprise yet the Senju woman managed to detect him. She flew through the door to attack Kotoro. The battled quickly knocking over many objects within the house. The Senju woman threw an incredible punch that knocked the house off its foundation. Feeling pressured Kotoro used the fireball jutsu at full power blasting the charging Senju through the front door". At this point its was exactly what Rowan knew about. He watched on as he awakened the Byakugan. He saw as The Uchiha was at a loss. His mission was to determine if Rowan had Uchiha blood and awakened a Sharingan yet he seemed to have proved he was of Hyuga descent. After that I simply went through all his knowledge pertaining to Jutsu''s. There are many I am not yet physically able to do but as I get older and stronger there should be no trouble. I then implemented a change to my Sharingan and upgraded them to match his Mangekyo. I was a bit worried that I would gain the same level of eye sight as the Uchiha but luckily my Body snatcher seemed to replicate the eyes as though they were at their prime. As I have also backed up this data Should I ever start loosing my eye sight I should be able to just reapply the modification and return to the eyes at their prime again. I was also quite happy to find that the powers of the Uchiha''s Mangekyo Sharingan allowed him to teleport over short distances with his left eye. His right eye was able to summon things to him from an equal distance. The problem being that everything has to be within the field of my vision. If I combine it with my Byakugan though that should greatly improve its capabilities. If I had faced the Uchiha while he was using the Mangekyo Sharingan I could only see my possible death. It was quite lucky he wasn''t taking me serious as a threat. Within my room I activated the Mangekyo Sharingan I was quite happy with its capabilities. Suddenly an idea struck me. I switched back to a regular Sharingan which now had all three Tomoe. And with my left eye I kept the Sharingan active and with my right I activated the Byakugan. The two Dojutsu seemed to worked well together combining the strength of both and eliminating their weakness. I saw through the wall a nurse heading towards my room so I quickly deactivated them. I felt incredibly weak so I now curled myself up under my blankets and fell into a deep sleep. Chapter 8 Chapter Eight I spent the next few days recovering my Chakra and Ki. I couldn''t help but wish that Senzu Beans were a thing in this world. I did however make good use of my time. When a Doctor came in to check on me I used my body snatcher abilities on him and made a back up of all his medical Ninjutsu knowledge. The incident with the Uchiha made it clear just how important being able to heal one self and their loved ones were. I cast a Genjutsu on him using my Sharingan forcing him to forget what had happened. Because of this I now have a larger amount of knowledge than I had before. This also included far more Chakra control too. I decided that I have to be less reserved about gaining strength. If the Uchiha are targeting my family I have to be able to protect us. One evening in the Hospital I was visited by my cousin Tsunade. While she was seemingly quite affable I could tell there was another reason here than just visiting me. I played along for a while but I quickly caught on that she was asking questions about what happened when we were attacked. It turns out that some one had removed the body of the Uchiha, I suspect his clan did so as to not be suspected. I would guess Mother and Silvia are being tight lipped so the Senju clan sent Tsunade to talk to me. They truly think I''m just a regular child who wouldn''t be able to tell what I should and shouldn''t say. I pretended to get upset thinking about it. Big ugly tears welled up within my eyes and Tsunade wanting to protect the little child before her wrapped her arms around me. It was Just then I activated Body Snatcher. I quickly backed up all the data I could from her mind, I was desperate to find out what the main branch of the family think of this incident. I had no need of copying her cells as they have next to no difference from the ones I copied from Nawaki so long ago. I quickly cancelled the Body Snatcher skill after I copied her brains data. I backed it up ready to examine later. I continued crying so as she wouldn''t realise she had lost any time comforting me. I let slip a few half truths about the attack so as she felt she accomplished her goals. I simply said that the Ninja was strong and fast. They used a fire Jutsu, that doesn''t really help as most ninjas in Konoha can use a fire Jutsu. When she left I began going through the back up data. It turns out she wasn''t sent here by the Senju clan head but by great Aunt Mito. I sighed with relief that the clan didn''t suspect us of anything. I then went through all the knowledge within Tsunade¡¯s mind. there was a great deal more medical Ninjutsu knowledge than I gained from the Doctors. Not to mention a lot of training Methods and jutsus of the main family. I was also glad to find knowledge she had gained from great Aunt Mito. this will eventually be used by her to develop the Strength of One Hundred Seal Unfortunately as she has only recently begun training under the Third Hokage so there wasn''t much I could gain there. I will however be putting the knowledge she has to use and develop my own Strength of One hundred Seal. I will however have to form the seal on a part of my body where it will not be seen as it would be suspicious if the main branch saw me. By combining the Uchiha and Tsunade¡¯s knowledge on Chakra control I should be able to gather enough Chakra over the next few years in order to form the seal.This narrative has been purloined without the author''s approval. Report any appearances on Amazon. I also suspect that great Aunt Mito''s seal is filled with the Chakra of the Nine Tailed Fox. It would be great if I could somehow gather some of that Chakra. After my Mothers and I were well enough we were discharged from the hospital. Our home which was for the most part ruined will have to be rebuilt. Until then we were given the option to stay at the Senju compound. Mother and Silvia debated the correct choice as we were walking the Konoha streets. Before they could decide we were surrounded by Uchiha ninjas. We were issued a summons to the Uchiha clan district to meet with the head of the Uchiha clan. Both my Mothers were visibly shaken by this but I grabbed their hands and fearlessly said "lets go then". Silvia and Mother both looked at me but I simply told them "its okay we don''t have anything to worry about". We were escorted to a large building within the Uchiha clan district. The atmosphere inside was stuffy and tense. "Welcome Emily and Rowan Senju" a man with black hair with strands of grey said. He was sat at the head of a large table with a glass of green tea placed before him. This is the Uchiha clan head I saw in the memories of Kotoro Uchiha. I disliked how he seemingly dismissed Silvia as though she was not even here but we managed to keep a straight face none the less. It was obviously a tactic used to get us annoyed or uncomfortable. Mother was just about to speak but was shocked as I interrupted her. "Hello sir clan head of the Uchiha. So then how do you intend to compensate us for sending an Uchiha to attack us in our home?" My brazen attitude took the Uchiha head by surprise his face twisted with anger and he furrowed his brow. I couldn''t help but laugh internally as I turned his attempt to make us uncomfortable against him. "You have some guts child. Who says that the person that attacked you was an Uchiha?" I then quickly activated my Byakygan in both eyes "are you saying my eyes were unable to see correctly". As I activated the Byakugan everyone in the room was shocked. Mother and Silvia barely kept their composure. I managed to further push the Uchiha off guard. Their desire to find out if I have the Sharingan would now surely be answered that they heard wrong given as I have proven I have the Byakugan. The Uchiha head then cleared his throat. "Very well you have proven your innocence. My clan had reason to suspect you had either stolen out Sharingan or were of our bloodline. But you have proven our understanding to be false. Mother then interjected "So you send a member of your clan to kill us without any proof of the crimes you say we were suspected of. If this got out it would bring shame to the face of the Uchiha wouldn''t you agree?" The Uchiha clan head smiled and said "Oh I don''t think it will get out. Although your child has proven not to be of Uchiha bloodline, What would the Hyuga do If we told them your child possessed their Dojutsu?" It was then that I began talking again "we don''t have to worry about the Hyuga go ahead and tell them". My confidence took the Uchiha Clan head by surprise. I then repeated word for word "We have had a worrying report Kotoro. Fugaku''s Mother over heard Silvia Uchiha of the branch family and Emily senju warning a child of the Senju not to use his Sharingan". As I repeated his words verbatim the Uchiha clan head looked shocked again. "Mr Uchiha clan head I have taken precautions during my time in hospital to make sure any damning information I have about the Uchiha would be delivered directly to the Hokage". I said with not an ounce of my usual childishness As an extra little bluff I added "you see the information I extracted from¡­ Erm Kotoro was it was quite illuminating. The Uchiha having a stone tablet that only those with the Sharingan can read. Oh what interesting contents Kotoro told me about. If you wish not for your clan secrets to be exposed I suggest you leave me and my Mothers alone from now on". I looked at Silvia indicating that she is one of my Mothers who protection I demand. The Uchiha clan head looked shocked for a moment. A small child not even six years old had managed to corner him so much. "Very well. You and your ahem Mothers are free to go" Said the clan head with a tinge of regret in his voice As we were leaving the Uchiha district we made our way to retrieve Kuma. One of our neighbours were looking after him. He looked happy to see us and jumped up licking my face. He almost knocked me over. Then we all went to a hotel. In our room my Mothers both looked at me shocked. "Rowan what happened to your Sharingan" Silvia was the first to ask. I quickly activated it showing I still possess it. "Three Tomoe" both my Mothers said in unison. I then took them further by surprise by activating my Byakugan in both eyes. "You see I can switch between them for some reason. I awakened my Byakugan when you were both Injured by that Uchiha. Luckily however if the Uchiha aren¡¯t to be trusted and tell the Hyuga I possess their Dojutsu I can just do what I did today. I showed the Uchiha the Byakugan and I can show the Hyuga the Sharingan". After I explained my plan they both looked a little relieved. I don''t expect it to work forever but it will surely buy us some time. "Okay little Rowan but how did you know so much about the Uchiha. Not even I knew about that stone tablet you mentioned" said Silvia I then reactivated my Sharingan and switched it to a Mangekyo Sharingan. This really shocked Silvia and Mother. They both gasped loudly and held their hands to their mouths. I lied and said "I also awakened this when seeing you injured. It can greatly power up my Genjutsu as such I was able to extract all that information from the Uchiha that attacked us". Silvia said "The Mangekyo Sharingan is thought to be only a myth to us in the Branch family. Who would have thought it truly exists and that little Rowan would awaken it?" I returned my eyes back to normal. All this constant switching between Dojutsu left a great deal of strain in my eyes. Chapter 9 Chapter Nine Late at night after both my Mothers fell asleep I sneaked out of our hotel room. There is something I desperately needed to do. Although I had awoken the Byakugan I had next to no idea how to use it. Outside I activated my Byakugan and sneaked through the late night streets of Konoha. The streets were eerily quite. I managed to locate guard ninjas using the Byakugan and avoided them as best as I could. In a shop that has been closed my eyes found a black crow mask and a black cloak. I teleport them to me by activating my right Mangekyo Sharingan. I quickly got changed and continued on, through many twists and turns and back alleys I managed to find my way to the Hyuga compound. I used the Byakygan to search and found the clan heads room. He and his wife were fast asleep in their bed. I activated the Mangekyo Sharingan in my left eye. I teleport directly into his room. This ability used far more chakra than I was hoping but luckily I still retained enough to make my escape. I gently placed my hand on the sleeping Clan head. He momentarily moved as though detecting my presence but I quickly activated Body Snatcher. I quickly selected the Auto copy. As soon as his Byakygan were also copied I reverted back to my body. Before he could react I used my Mangekyo Sharingan to teleport back outside the compound. I selected Yes to back up the data I copied and rushed my way back to the hotel. I ran like the wind dodging all the guard ninja I detected. As soon as I got back within sight of the Hotel I teleport directly into my room. My Mangekyo had been drastically over used and had begun to bleed. I deactivated it and cleaned myself off. I put the cloak and Mask into my storage box and got myself in bed. In bed I decoded all the data I had backed up from the Hyuga clan head. I was amazed that it contained all the clans secret techniques. including their cursed marks and the secrets of their gentle fist Taijutsu.The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement. There are many things yet again that I am currently Physically unable to do but as I get older and stronger I should manage the techniques just fine. The clan heads Byakugan was also far more powerful than my own. As soon as this data was decoded My Byakygan activated and began maturing to the same point as the clan heads data indicated. I had made a great deal of gains tonight. My only regret is that my body and Chakra are unable to match the knowledge and the techniques I possess. After altering my Cells with those of the Senju main family I have been unable to find any other person with enough Chakra to match. It seems that despite all my cheats I can''t get out of working hard to improve my physical and spiritual strength. The following day Konoha is in chaos. The Hyuga have reported that someone broke into their compound. Their clan head says it was an attempted assassination. The only known facts are that the assassin disappeared right before the clan head had chance to activate his Byakugan. As I heard my Mothers talking about this I couldn''t help but feel a little nervous. The only positive is that there is no trace of the culprit. After we have our breakfast in the hotel I am walked to the academy as both of my Mothers say I have missed too much time. When I enter the academy I am swamped with students asking if I am okay. Both my Mothers are standing off to the side and giving Fugaku¡¯s Mother an evil stare. School was yet again quite boring until around lunch time. A child of the Hatake clan that is a few years older is attempting to boss around some of the younger children. Nawaki being the kind of person he is attempts to stand up for the other children. I watch from a distance as the situation begins to escalate. Soon the Hatake child pushes Nawaki. The two begin a scuffle which gathers the attention of a lot of other students. Unfortunately Nawaki is no match for the older Hatake child. Soon Nawaki is pinned to the ground as the Hatake child pummels him. I sigh wondering what the hell the teachers are doing at such a time. I have been sharpening a small stick this entire time and having decided Nawaki is unable to take any more I appear behind the Hatake with the stick to the back of his neck. The Hatake recognises the skill I just displayed and turns his attention to me. "I think that''s enough don''t you?" I said to him as firmly as possible. His dirty looking silver hair was blown by the afternoon breeze. He made a swallowing sound when he realised I hadn''t left him any openings to attack. "Fine!" he yelled before walking off. I helped Nawaki up to his feet and took him towards the academy Nurse. On the way he said "Thanks Rowan. Wow you got strong". I simply nodded and said "Mother and Aunt Silvia are very strict with my training time". I managed to get Nawaki to the nurses after some more idle chit chat. Nawaki may be my cousin but as he is from the main family we aren''t that close. We were only really together at birth because we were born around the same time. I quickly made my way back to class and explained that Nawaki is at the nurses office to the teacher. I continued the rest of the day doing the exercises disguised as games along with the other children. Chapter 10 Chapter Ten After a year and a half at the academy I have started to see really improvements in my mind and body. Even if I find the games in classes boring it is building up my strength and Chakra as we go along. There is a child with unruly hair cut in a bowl cut and combed slightly to the right and large black caterpillar like eyebrows by the name of Might Dai who gets incredibly worked up during these games. If he wins any then he usually starts sobbing tears of joy and dripping snot from his bulbous nose. This is the person destined to be the Father of Might Guy and probably the one with the personality in the class I find most amusing. He is constantly exercising his body even during breaks so I started tagging along with him. I am fully aware of his future potential so I join him in his exercises. We do 100 push ups followed by 100 squats followed by 100 sit ups. Then when that is done we go for a 10Km run around the academy every day. We are looked at as weird by the other children but we find it amusing racing between us to see who gets finished first. With the increase in my physical strength due to these exercises my Chakra is also growing proportionately. Dai and I regularly spar against one another. I am forbidden from using Ninjutsu or Genjutsu against him so I fight with pure Taijutsu. As it would be suspicious if I used the Hyuga''s gentle fist I have been learning the strong fist style he uses. Usually when we begin our usual daily routine the other children chuckle and laugh at us. There are only a few that watch intently. Nawaki the Hyuga twins and Fugaku have all been known to sneak a peek at us from time to time. however as we only use Taijutsu they always lose interest pretty quickly. We return to class after our lunch break ends. Both Dai and I are sweating heavily after our workout. Dai is pleased because today he beat me bringing our score up to 136 wins for him and 135 wins for me. We have been doing this for over a year now and when it comes to Taijutsu me and Dai are in the top four of our class along with the Hyuga twins.If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. Its not just Taijutsu where I am excelling either. With the growth of my Chakra due to these exercises I am in the top four when it comes to Genjutsu and Ninjutsu too. I wish the Saiyan clans Ki techniques were taught here as well because I would love to learn more about them instead of relying on memories of my past life. We are to be tested next week to see if we graduate to the next level of the ninja academy. I have no reason to doubt I will fail as I can cast every Jutsu they have ever taught me. After the day is finished at the academy I return home and begin my training with my Mothers. Since the incident with the Uchiha we have moved to a more fortified and closed off area of Konoha. It was in the hope that I could be trained in secrecy with little chance of my secrets being revealed. Silvia has recently realised she awakened her Mangekyo Sharingan after the time we were attacked by the Uchiha. She uses them during our training despite my fear she may lose her eye sight. It seems both Mothers have become quite desperate in their desire to make me strong enough to defend myself from the clans of Konoha. Training with both of them is incredibly stressful. I have to combat the pair of them simultaneously while using a mixture of Sharingan and Byakugan. Since Silvia awakened her Mangekyo Sharingan she attempts to trap me in a Tsukuyomi like Genjutsu. This constant mental pressure from Silvia and physical pressure from Mother is more arduous than you can imagine. Just combating Mother requires the Sharingan and the Byakugan with Strong Fist style Taijutsu. Mothers Taijutsu style is frighteningly similar to the future Tsunade. Each attack holds incredible amounts of power. As such she is forging my Taijutsu to follow suit. After we finished our training we got cleaned off and had a family meal together. Afterwards we went to bed early as Ninjas are required to be early risers. I however waited till they were in a deep sleep and stealthily made my way to their room.When I got close enough to Silvia I lay on the floor next to their bed so I wouldn''t fall and wake them then I reached my hand over and used Body snatcher on her. Once in control of Silvia¡¯s mind I began using Auto Copy. I then cancelled Body Snatcher after I had gotten what I wanted. I backed up the data then returned to my room as quietly as possible. I decoded the data about her Mangekyo Sharingan and found that in her right eye gives her the ability to trap others in a Tsukuyomi like Genjutsu and her left eye gives her the ability to access a black form of lightening. Silvia¡¯s memories show she is poor at controlling that lightening however. I was able to quickly switch between Kotoro''s Mangekyo and Silvia¡¯s mixing both of their abilities. Since my Chakra control has increased I no longer have as much strain on my eyes when switching between Dojutsu. I have however failed to summon a Susanoo. The humanoid avatar made up of ones own Chakra is still outside my grasp. As much as my Chakra has increased it is still lacking enough to be able to summon a Susanoo. After making sure I had fully decoded and integrated Silvia¡¯s Mangekyo Sharingan I then went to bed expecting to be woken up early the next morning. Chapter 11 Chapter Eleven The next day at the academy Might Dai and myself continue the usual routine of exercises. Only now they increased the difficulty as their have begun finding it too easy to get done. The pair have started their 10km run around the academy on their hands. The teachers and the other students look on bemused at the strange pair. luckily this time I won the race bringing their score back even. As I return to class however I find a surprise. The third Hokage has come at the behest of the teachers. The teacher takes the rest of the students to the obstacle course leaving just myself and the Hokage in the classroom. My abilities are growing beyond the confides that the academy can teach and as it turns out they requested the Hokage to make a judgement on my abilities. He walks towards me and says "hello young Rowan, It''s a pleasure to meet you. I have heard a lot about your skills from your teachers". I then politely say "Hello lord Third, I Simply love learning everything they have to offer is all". I figured acting child like wouldn''t be in my best interest at the moment. "well then young Rowan, I am going to ask you to perform a Ninjutsu a Genjutsu and test your Taijutsu. If I find you acceptable in any of the two out of the three i will give my blessing to have you graduate from the academy early". I nodded to the Hokage and with a serious face I waited for his instructions. "Okay first of all a Ninjutsu, can you show me the Clone Technique?" I smiled at the simple nature of his request. I begin moulding my Chakra to the perfect level so as not to cause any wastage. I then quickly form the hand seals Tiger-Boar-Ox-Dog, then with a puff of white smoke I summon four clones of myself. "Four clones and so easily" the Hokage said with a look of approval. "Okay next is Genjutsu" The Hokage looks at me expectedly. I begin casting the a fast series of hand signs. The Hokage willingly allowed himself to be caught in my Genjutsu. It was a mere D rank Genjutsu. The Hokage looked around as a series of clones of myself. This however is merely the beginning. My clones begin to morph into a series of nude beautiful women. The Hokage who is a closet pervert immediately looses his focus and his nose begins to drip blood.The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation. Outside the Genjutsu while the Hokage is enjoying himself I secretly touch the Hokage switching bodies with him. I suddenly find myself inside my own Genjutsu with a bunch of busty beauties rubbing up against me. I activate Auto Copy. The ability quickly copies the Hokage¡¯s Brain and I return to My own body. I go to select Backup Data but amazingly it seems the sheer amount of Knowledge copied from the Hokage is more than every backup I have made put together. My Body Snatcher ability is unable to cope and begins showing error signs. each time I acknowledge the error another one pops up. After way to many that almost fill my entire field of vision My Body Snatcher begins closing the errors itself. It bega backing up all the Hokage¡¯s data on something called the External server. Just as I breath a sigh of relief the Hokage breaks out of my Genjutsu. He has a perverted smile on his face and he quickly uses his robe to wipe away the blood dripping from his nose. "Ahem... That is erm, Quite the Powerful Genjutsu. You pass young Rowan" While struggling to wipe off the perverted smile he hands me the Konoha forehead protector. "As of today you are a full fledged ninja of Konoha". He said switching back to his thoughtful adult mode. "Thank you lord Hokage. I shall strive to bring honour to Konoha" I replied "Oh and also I''m not sure what you did to me while I was in the Genjutsu of yours but we shall keep it between ourselves okay". I became pale as the Hokage realised I had done something. I decided to bluff and say "it is merely something that boosts the power of my Genjutsu. I''m sorry for testing it on the Hokage but I wanted to see how effective it is on a powerful Ninja". "very well if that is all it was. Ahem perhaps that is why I found you Genjutsu so powerful. Very good very good indeed". He almost slipped back into the pervy look but quickly caught himself . "Well then I shall be going then Young Rowan, Your should go tell your parents and have them bring you to the Hokage building tomorrow morning to complete your ninja registration". It didn''t go amiss that he used parents plural. I wondered just how much the Hokage really knows. As the Hokage left I informed the teachers that I had passed the Hokage¡¯s test and showed them the head protector as proof. They looked pleased and gave me permission to go home as I had now graduated from the academy. I walked home as the backup data from the Hokage began decoding. My head almost began hurting. There were village secrets bordering on thousands upon thousands of jutsu¡¯s. Secret techniques and many dirty secrets of several clans which the Hokage uses to keep some clans in line. As I got home my brain was almost fried with the amount of data I had forced into it. But my Mother simply shrugged it off as me being tired from the Hokage¡¯s test. They were over the moon with me graduating at such a young age. So much so that after I had a rest we went for barbecue. Silvia was almost in tears going on an on about "how her little boy has become a Ninja". Mother attempted to shush her as people could hear but Silvia was so proud she didn''t give a damn. Hell from what I gathered from the Hokage¡¯s memories it was an open secret anyway at this point. The Hokage had even used his position to stop the Uchiha¡¯s from interfering with their relationship. It kind of made all the secrecy up until now worthless so I decided to surprise Silvia "so Mom now I''m a ninja can you and Mother ramp up my training please" the surroundings became silent but more and more tears flowed from Silvia¡¯s eyes. Myself and Mother had to embrace her to calm her down. Mother was a little embarrassed but with the cat out of the bag already anyway she adapted pretty quickly. The celebration that night held even greater meaning as it is the first time we have ever been open about our family in public. Everyone in Yakiniku Q simply looked on us warmly as we celebrated as a family. Chapter 12 Chapter Twelve Later at night while in my room I was looking over my status with Appraisal. Name: Rowan Clan: Senju Race: Human Age: SIX YEARS Chakra Nature: Water, Earth,Lightning,Fire,Wind,Yin,Yang Kekkei Genkai: BYAKUGAN, SHARINGAN, MANGEKYO SHARINGAN (X2), Unique ability: Body Snatcher(level 3), Appraisal, Item box Tomorrow I will register as a ninja. While looking forward to being able to undertake missions the thought of gaining more strength is what is on my mind the most. I have one of the most complete understanding of jutsu in the entire village. So much so that I think I would be able to counter any other ninja in the entire of Konoha for a short while. My problem however is my physical strength and Chakra levels are sorely lacking. I can make up for it with my shoddy knowledge of Ki to a certain extent but against a true expert I wouldn''t be able to last long. Should the Uchiha or another clan target my Mothers again I am not sure I would be able to defend them without relying on my Unique abilities like last time. While my Chakra levels and physical strength has improved since the Uchiha incident it s only as far as I am slightly above the typical Genin. That is completely because of the training I went through with Might Dai. I however think I have an idea which may help me increase the cards I have at my disposal. I want to capture a White Zetsu. Their DNA which is identical to that of Hashirama Senju allows them to use the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai. White Zetsu however is a master of infiltration. It is going to require me improving my sensor capabilities to be able to find him. I suspect there is at least one clone of White Zetsu within the village as Madara Uchiha will undoubtedly want to keep abreast of the latest goings on within the Village. Luckily since I have copied the knowledge of the Third Hokage I have the perfect stealth Jutsu available now that can block any trace of me and my Chakra from sensor type Ninjas.This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. I wait until everyone in the village should be deeply sleeping. I take out the crow mask and black cloak from my item box and put them on. I activate my Byakugan and the stealth Jutsu and jump out of my bedroom window into the Silent Konoha night. I make my way to the Yamanaka clan headquarters. They are the best Sensor type ninjas in the village. Using my Byakugan I look throughout until I find the head of their clan. Just like with the Hyuga I activated my teleport ability using my left Mangekyo Sharingan. I make sure to lay down quietly and then use Body Snatcher. Inside the body of the Yamanaka clan head I begin the Auto Copy. Since using this ability on the Third Hokage it has levelled up. This includes a huge upgrade in speed. In the time it once took to copy the head of a ninja it now copies their entire body. As soon as it copies I cancel Body Snatcher returning to my body. I quickly make a backup of the data to the external server and Teleport away. I make my way to a secluded location and decode the data. When all the Yamanaka clans secret techniques are known to me I begin sensing a large area. As White Zetsu is incredibly hard to find it takes me a while. I do however know that he has the same kind of Chakra as Hashirama Senju. Knowing this I filter out all other Chakra Natures until I find a small response that indicates a fusion of Water Release and Earth Release. It would seem I was correct White Zetsu or a clone of him at-least has been stationed within Konoha to report back to Madara the inner workings of the Village. I make my way to the location I have detected White Zetsu. While using the stealth Jutsu I manage to sneak right on top of him. I see his head popping out of the ground. Maybe this is why I found him so easily I quickly use Earth Release to expose him completely and Using the Genjutsu of Silvia''s Mangekyo Sharingan I trap his mind in the Tsukuyomi like world before he even has chance to react. I then use Body Snatcher on White Zetsu. I appear within my own Genjutsu just like I did with the Third Hokage. The difference this time is how powerful the Genjutsu is. I manage to shrug it off however. As white Zetsu''s physiology is so different to any person whose body I have taken before I felt disorientated for a moment. I however remained aware enough to begin the Auto Copy. I wait till the exact moment the Auto Copy finishes and end Body Snatcher. I then back up his data to the external server which takes mere seconds. With the White Zetsu clone back within the Genjutsu I set about manipulating its mind. I use a great deal of Chakra. I leave it almost catatonic. I then get an idea I have never tried before. I backup my own Mind using Body Snatcher to the External Server. Once this is done I forcefully download the backup into the mind of the White Zetsu clone. I make sure to over write all the previous data as such I make this one White Zetsu share the same mind as myself. I set up a security measure within the Genjutsu making the White Zetsu compelled to kill its self should the tampering be discovered. Now by doing this I should have the perfect spy to use against Madara. I end the Genjutsu and the White Zetsu immediately recognises myself. As its mind is a backup of my own it is keenly aware of what I expect from it. It sinks back into the ground and continues its spying mission only now it is working for me as a double agent of sorts. I return home and begin decoding the data I got from White Zetsu. Its body is composed of Cells strikingly similar to Hashirama Senju. As I implement them I feel my life force being boosted to heights I have never felt before. I am glad I used the weakened Cells of a White Zetsu as my body probably wouldn''t be able to handle the raw cells of Hashirama. I then decode the mental data of the White Zetsu. All of the information it gathered for Madara now becomes my own. I also gain its knowledge of how to use its inferior form of Wood Release. This however has a synergistic response to my Senju DNA allowing me to use a form a little more advanced than what Yamato was capable of in his youth. It still pails in comparison to Hashiramas use of the Kekkei Genkai. After my busy night is over I return to bed. Tomorrow I have to register as a Ninja so I need my rest. Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen My ninja registration went off without a hitch. I was then ordered to report to the Hokage¡¯s office where I went. Inside using the Yamanaka sensing techniques i could tell there were many ninja hidden but I chose to ignore that. I was more amused by the large amount of paper work piled upon the desk with the Third Hokage sat behind diligently completing. It often occurred to me how the Third Hokage found time to train Orochimaru Jiraiya and Tsunade given how limited the Hokage¡¯s time is. I however chose to ignore that and instead bowed respectfully. "Lord Third I have arrived to receive your orders" The third Hokage smiled and said "Don''t be so tense young Rowan. As a Genin you would usually be placed on a team under the care of a Jonin but as manpower is short at the moment we are unable to find the ideal team for you to join" I looked disappointed for a moment but that was quickly changed with the Hokage¡¯s next words. "because of that I would like to draft you into the Anbu. This squad of Anbu report directly to me. The Hokage makes a noise as though clearing his throat. As soon as he does a Ninja with an animal mask that looks a little like a red panda appears. He is kneeling on one knee in front of the Hokage. The Third Hokage then tells him to take me to the Anbu headquarters to begin my training. Giving the affirmative to the Hokage we quickly left. Within the Hokage¡¯s offices lay a secret passage that led to the headquarters of the Hokage¡¯s Anbu. The passages are filled with hard stone walls and many metal pipes. There are so many twists and turns that without a guide from the Anbu one would easily get lost. I did my best to remember the directions I treated it almost like a dungeon crawler from my old life. After many many redundant seeming turns we finally arrived. The Anbu were an organisation within Konoha where ones identity is kept strictly confidential. The Anbu handle some of the unseamly missions that the village has to handle. I am told I am being transferred to the Hunter Nin department. These Anbu hunt down ninjas that have gone rogue. They some times work in teams but mostly they act independently so as to limit the chances of being discovered.Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. I am taken to a equipment department manned by a female ninja wearing Konoha Anbu equipment. She has a mask that looks a lot like a cat. The woman took one look at me and the Anbu beside me realising I was a new recruit she went to the storage racks behind her and came back with a mask and an Anbu uniform that matches my size. I was ordered to get changed so I went to a changing room next to the equipment department. I came out wearing the Anbu uniform and a tiger like mask complete with stripes. I was amazed that even wearing the mask my field of vision was not hampered despite the relatively small eye holes and it was easy to breath in. It was almost like I wasn''t wearing a mask at all. The people who develop ninja tools for the village must has put in a great deal of work on the Anbu masks. Seeing that I was prepared the red panda Anbu who was my guide took me to the Hunter Nin corps. There he handed me over to their captain before departing without even saying goodbye. The Hunter Nin captain was a tall lean man with flexible looking limbs. He almost seemed like an Olympic sprinter. One look at him indicated that this guy was explosively fast. He introduced himself as Supurinto. This person is to be my superior for the time being so I was as polite as possible and absorbed everything he has to say like a sponge. After a year of training with the Anbu Hunter Nin division I am finally given a mission. An A-Rank missing Nin from the Land of Water is rumoured to be hiding out in the Land of Fire. My mission is to track him down, If possible capture him alive but if not eliminate him. According to the mission briefing he is name Ketsueki and has a unique Ninjutsu that manipulates the blood of his opponents after making physical contact with them. There is rumour that he is undertaking assassination missions in the ninja underworld. After being briefed on my target I quickly left the village. My mothers both know I am leaving for my first official mission so there is no need to stop and say goodbye. Besides time is of the essence right now. Travelling as stealthily as I can I erase my presence as taught to me by the Anbu while also using the stealth Ninjutsu I got from the Third Hokage. My stealth abilities are so impressive that the Anbu gave me the code name Miraju meaning Mirage. I travel to a well known underground ninja hot spot within the Land Of Fire. Only the Ninjas with the most confidence in their abilities show up here. But because the cream of the underworld crop are here it is the best place to gather information. I make my way to a seemingly normal looking Cafe bar. However at the back door if given the right password you are allowed to enter. After gaining entrance I headed towards the Information Broker. I handed over an envelope to the Broker who quickly opened it. Inside was the name of my target along with payment. The payment comes in the form of a small card with a seal printed on it. Once the seal is broken the Information Broker will gain a large amount of money. Only those is cooperation with Konoha know how to break this seal so it proves just how much faith the Village has with this Broker. After taking payment he handed me a small scroll which I proceeded to put away and exit the underground Cafe. When I was safely away and sure no one was around I opened the scroll. I was shocked by the information within. As it would turn out the Missing Nin I am searching for is working for the Gold and Silver Brothers from Kumo the Village Hidden in the Clouds On one hand I wanted to return to Konoha and request backup but on the other this would be the perfect chance for me to gain their share of the Nine Tails Chakra. Chapter 14 Chapter Fourteen I decided to take the middle road between both options. I released a hawk from a scroll and sent it flying to the Konoha Anbu holding my report explaining the situation. I told them I am going to their location and request backup when I have confirmed the situation. I Made my way to their hideout as indicated in the Information Brokers data. I didn''t head straight in instead I stealthily skulked around the periphery. I used My Byakugan to search inside and found the two brothers and Ketsueki. I activated the Sharingan in my right eye giving me the ability to read their lips. They were talking about an assassination they are planning. Their target none other than the Fire Daimyo. This would plunge the Land of Fire and as a result Konoha into chaos. Luckily however their plan wasn''t to be immediately carried out. I quickly wrote this Intel down and sent it back to the Anbu. I decided it isn''t best to wait for a reply however as time is of the essence. As such I waited until late at night. The Brothers and Ketsueki had drank a great deal. They stumbled their way back to their own beds. I kept watch of them with my Byakugan for a long time making sure they didn''t suspect anything. I activated my left Mangekyo Sharingan and teleport to my first target. The older of the two brother known as Kinkaku. I quickly activated Body Snatcher. My thought and vision was impaired by a great deal because of how much Alcohol Kinkaku had had to drink. I was however barely able to keep to my plan.The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. I was amazed by the power I felt within this body. The amount of Chakra is unbelievable. It is hard to believe they aren''t even full Jinchuriki. I activated the Auto Copy function. As they are distantly related to the Sage of Six Paths I want their DNA and Cells in order to boost my own. As Auto copy is active I slowly made my way to myself that is laying on the floor. I then begin pouring the Nine Tailed Fox Chakra from Kinkaku into the Strength of One Hundred Seal I materialised on the bottom of my foot. I chose here as it would likely be the least seen part of my body. By doing this while using the stealth Technique of the Third Hokage should make it so that I''m not discovered. I barely managed to complete the Chakra transfer before my Body Snatcher timer ran out. I lay Kinkaku back on the bed and returned to my body. I then made my way to his brother Ginkaku. I repeated the process stealing his share of the Nine Tails Chakra too. Luckily he wasn''t quite as drunk as his brother so the Chakra transfer proceeded quicker. I noticed then with My Byakugan that several Konoha Anbu Were arriving in the vicinity. I quickly teleport out and deactivated my Dojutsu. I didn''t have time to decode the data I got from copying their bodies so that will just have to wait until later. I am however incredibly pleased with myself having managed to seal such a large amount of Nine Tails Chakra into my Strength of One Hundred seal. I explained to the Anbu the situation inside including how all the targets are inebriated. Just as we were planning to launch our assault however the Three from inside noticed the presence of so many ninjas. They quickly sobered up and came out attacking. The two brothers were as wild as you would expect. They have had so Much Chakra for so long they just brute forced most problems. Luckily they hadn''t noticed that they only had their own Chakra and not the Nine tails Chakra. It became an all out slaughter-fest. the two Brothers although weakened were incredibly powerful. They used the treasure tool of the Six Paths. Their entire offence was built around these tools Luckily with their Chakra remaining they could no longer use them as effectively as they once did. The huge drain on Chakra these tool cause quickly tired the brothers out. It was only then they noticed something was wrong. Just as they were about to voice that they lost their share of the Nine Tails Chakra I appeared behind them killing the pair simultaneously in order to keep them from spilling the beans. I then managed to capture the fleeing Ketsueki completing the mission. Chapter 15 Chapter Fifteen Now back at Konoha I finally have chance to decode the huge amounts of backup data I got from the Gold and Silver Brothers. I was amazed to find that yet again Body Snatcher had levelled up under the strain what I put it through. Because of the level up the Data base has been divided into several sections. They are: Ninjutsu backup, Genjutsu backup, Taijutsu Backup, Kekkei Genkai backup, Mental backup, Physical backup. Under each section is an alphabetised directory of everything I have ever copied using Body Snatcher. In the Physical Backup section it involves things such as the Saiyan Clans biology and the biology of the Gold and Silver Brothers. I quickly implemented the Gold and Silver Brothers Cells into my own. My body felt hot and my mind became sluggish. It put a humongous toll on my body. Luckily though I now have enough Chakra to cope with these changes. If not for the large amount of Chakra I had gained from the Brothers I would have probably ended up in the hospital again like when I was a child. Because of the large amount of Chakra I Can now perform almost every Jutsu I haver backed up. Another sudden gain from Body Snatcher levelling up is the fact that using a Jutsu that has been backed up costs me even less Chakra than it would normally cost. This combined with how much Chakra I now have has made me very excited. A major gain of having the Chakra sealed within the Strength of One Hundred Seal is that no one can sense how much Chakra I have. To them I am just a slightly gifted Seven year old. I don''t plan on relying on The Nine Tails Chakra however as I still want to develop my own Chakra levels to its maximum. I see the Nine Tails Chakra as more of a trump card to play when I am in need. Besides why would I get caught up in holding such a small amount of Nine Tails Chakra when there are full Jinchuriki¡¯s out there with far more Chakra at their disposal. Because of this I decided I have to increase the cards I have to play at any cost necessary. I never want to be too weak to protect my family again. Later under the shadow of night I was dressed in my Crow mask and black robe. I sneak into the Hokage residence. Using the Third Hokage¡¯s knowledge it was relatively simple. Because of the knowledge I gained from the White Zetsu I can manipulate my Chakra to appear identical to the Third Hokage''s. Because of this I have not caught the attention of the Anbu around the Hokage residence. Once I slipped in unnoticed I quickly used the Thirds stealth Jutsu. The reason I am here is there is a scroll I want to examine. The Scroll of Sealing contains the combined knowledge of the first two Hokage''s I want to get my hands on this so that I can Memorise Great Uncle Hashiramas Wood Release Jutsu''s and Grandfather Tobiramas invented Jutsu''s such as the Flying Thunder God. As I entered the secret parts of the Hokage residence my Byakugan noticed a large barrier sealing off this section from anyone gaining entrance. I found that the Barrier seamed to react to the Chakra I have sealed within my Strength of One Hundred Seal.This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it. If I had to guess Hashirama allowed his wife Great aunt Mito to be able to enter and exit the barrier. As she is the Nine Tails Jinchuriki only she should have been able to enter and exit freely. I chuckled at how convenient it was for me to gain the Chakra from those brothers. Because of this I can enter easily without setting off the Barrier. I walked through and came to a large scroll that was displayed on an alter. I quickly opened the scroll and using my Mangekyo Sharingans perception based abilities I read the scroll at such a speed one would usually find impossible. Every secret Jutsu Tobirama ever came up with and every Wood Release Jutsu of Hashirama was now mine. I quickly closed the Scroll placed it back and exited the barrier. However to my surprise I found that I had been discovered. Standing before me was Great Aunt Mito. The widow of Hashirama Senju and the Nine Tails Jinchuriki. "Hello there Little Rowan. I see you are on another one of your excursions. Her face looked quite stern but even in her middle to late age she was a stunningly beautiful woman. "Erm hello Great Aunt Mito long time no see" I took off my crow mask as there is no point hiding myself if she already knew it was me "Would you mind telling me what you are doing here Little Rowan" She asked in a strict sounding voice. "I erm wanted to learn Great Uncle Hashiramas Wood release". I decided to bluff a little bit and cast a small Wood release Jutsu "You see I have awoken the Same Kekkei Genkai but I had no other way of learning to control it". Mito looked shocked at me but a smile drifted on her face. As I have no negative emotion towards Great Aunt I should be able to bluff my way out of this without her suspecting anything. "You see Great Aunt I was a little scared to reveal this to the Main family, You are aware that relations between the branch family and them isn''t great. I was scared they would use me as a tool to gain power or worse eliminate me as a threat". Mito looked at me nodding in agreement but then she asked about how I managed to get passed the barrier. "Deciding there is no point hiding it from her I took off my boot and showed her the Strength of One Hundred Seal on the bottom of my foot. "Did Aunt hear about a mission involving the Gold and Silver Brothers. I was on that mission and managed to extract their Chakra and sealed it" I said trying to sound as innocent as I could possibly be. "You know Rowan that Seal is an Uzumaki secret I''m surprised you managed to be able to use it". She said testing me yet again "You see I saw Cousin Tsunade practising gathering Chakra to a place on her body. It seemed interesting so I kind of stealthily watched how she was doing it". I watched to see if she was buying it. I quickly continued "However I was unable to gather my own Chakra as I lack the control to do it over such a long time, But when I sealed the Nine Tails Chakra from the Gold and Silver Brothers it took me far less time to form the seal". "So that is how you have the seal and the Barrier recognised the Nine Tails Chakra in you" She said looking at me gently as though understanding. "But you know little Rowan if anyone else knows that you hold some of the Nine Tails Chakra it won''t only be the Senju clan you will have to worry about" "I know Great Aunt Mito, That is why i formed the seal on the bottom of my foot where not many people would see it". I hope my forethought is enough to convince her I am not a threat. "You see I heard a rumour that Great Uncle Hashirama was a sage. It is because of this his Wood Release was so strong. As I have no way of learning to be a sage I expected the Nine Tails Chakra I sealed to be an alternative" I gave her a plausible reason why I sealed the Nine Tails chakra in me. Mito seemed shocked that I knew so much about Hashirama, but shrugged it off as me investigating because I awakened Wood Release. "Okay then little Rowan. From now on when you are not on mission I want you to come to my home. I am going to teach you how to effectively control your Nine Tails Chakra". I was incredibly shocked I didn''t think this confrontation was going to go this way. I was half expecting to get into trouble. "However little Rowan we must keep this a secret between us, you should tell them I am training you in Fuinjutsu. You may not know but people don''t look to fondly on Jinchuriki, and even if you don''t have the beast sealed within you you have it''s Chakra. I''m afraid people would be able to differentiate between you and a Jinchuriki". I gave my word I would keep it secret. I was in fact quite touched that Great Aunt Mito would go so far to protect me. After that we went our separate ways and I returned home. I had to make a concious effort to remember every Jutsu I read using my Mangekyo Sharingan. Because of this I woke up the next morning feeling incredibly tired. Chapter 16 Chapter Sixteen I spent the next few weeks familiarising myself with the Jutsu¡¯s I memorised from the scroll. I got permission from the Hokage to use one of the training grounds so that I could work undisturbed. The hardest Jutsu I memorised from the scroll was by far the Flying Thunder God technique. While I understand the basic premise it requires such fine Chakra control it is like threading a needle blindfolded. Even with the improved sensory abilities I got from the Yamanaka clan I was still starting out at a disadvantage. I managed the forming a mark in which to teleport to. My mark looked like a black flower for some reason. This is done by making a seal with your own Chakra that you use as a target. After that it requires a degree of skill in moving ones Chakra to the marking at a distance which triggers the teleportation. The Flying Thunder God behaves far differently than the sight based teleportation of my Mangekyo Sharingan. However the feeling of teleporting does offer some clues. After practising for several hours I finally managed to trigger the teleportation. However the concentration required takes far too much time for it to be usable in battle. It would be quicker to just use my Mangekyo Sharingan. If I manage to get the time down however it will be far more effective as it uses next to no Chakra. The next step in my training is implementing Hashirama Senjus Wood Release Jutsu. Unlike the Flying Thunder God these Jutsu''s are incredibly demanding of Chakra. Just sprouting a small tree uses up most of my personal Chakra. I could use the Nine Tails Chakra but I feel that would be a waste until I get more skilled at this Jutsu. Sadly The White Zetsu whose memory I backed up only knows the basics of Wood Release. Once I finished my personal training for the day I head towards Great Aunt Mito''s. This has been my routine for the last several weeks. Under Great Aunt Mito I have been learning about the Nine Tailed Chakra. As I expected the seal on Great Aunt Mito¡¯s head is filled with the Nine Tails Chakra just like mine. She is able to extract the Chakra in much the same way Naruto. Aunt Mito taught me not the Version one and Version Two Chakra mode which she says drain too much Chakra but a special state that only the Jinchuriki of the Nine Tails can access, the Nine Tails Chakra Cloak. Aunt Mito modified my seal to allow more Chakra then she sealed more of the Tailed Beasts Chakra into it. I currently have ten times the amount of Nine Tails Chakra I gained from the Gold and Silver Brothers. This however is still a small fraction compared to how much Great Aunt Mito has at her disposal. As the Chakra she sealed into me no longer contains any of the Nine Tails will I found transforming into the Nine Tails Chakra Cloak incredibly easy with a few helpful pointers from Aunt Mito. The Only Problem I face however is that while I am in the Chakra cloak I can no longer access my own Chakra I have to willingly put my Chakra separate so as I can access this form.This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience. With this period of time I have grown quite fond of Aunt Mito. I believe that it is mutual as she has spoken to me about more than just the Nine Tails Chakra. She would tell me stories of Hashirama and Tobiramas era. She would also teach me secrets seals of the Uzumaki clan. I got the feeling she was feeling lonely after her Husband died. Sure she has her children and grandchildren but with everyone so busy she is left by herself quite often. Only Tsunade really visits her and just like with me Aunt Mito gladly teaches her all she knows about seals. I watched as she looked a little sad so I decided to use the Wood Release I have been training. I create a small plant that blooms a beautiful red petal just like her hair. I then use Earth release to make a small pot place the plant in it and give it to her. She seems remarkably Happy even saying "Hashirama did the same thing on our first date" She takes the flower and becomes lost in her thoughts for a while. After we finish training Aunt Mito see that I return home safely. Both of my Mothers invite her in and we all have a family meal together. I watched as Aunt Mito seemed to really savour the atmosphere of being around loved ones. If I had to guess she uses her love for her Family and the village her Husband built in order to fight the hatred of the Nine Tails. As we are eating a message comes from the Hokage¡¯s office. It seems I have a mission. My equipment is always ready within my storage box so I quickly say my goodbyes and head towards the Hokage''s Office. I duck into a side street where no one is around and use a new feature of my Item Box. It allows me to change clothes immediately. I simply have to indicate what outfit I want, In this case I choose My Anbu equipment and in a flash of light my clothing has changed with my prior outfit now residing in the storage box. Once I am in my Anbu uniform I enter the Hokage¡¯s Office where the Third Hokage gives me a run down of my target. Apparently to Missing Nin from the Village hidden in the wind have been detected on the borders of the Land of fire. According to the data one is a puppet user and the others techniques are unknown. Because of this the level of difficulty is quite high. I am to track them uncover their purpose in entering the Land of Fire and exterminate them if they are a threat. I travel over several days to their last known location. I wait until night and begin moving through the small village. I stick to the shadows and under my mask I activate My Byakugan. With the radius of around 30Km I can see almost all of the small village. I notice there are a few ninjas pretending to be regular civilians but they don''t seem to be the ones I am hunting. My guess is they too are hunting the Missing Nin. It is a risky move by the Land of Wind sending some of their ninjas across the border even if it is to search for some of their own. I however take this opportunity to see what kind of information I can gather from these Suna Ninjas. I activate my left Mangekyo Sharingan and Teleport into their hideout without being seen. Then switching my right to the same Mangekyo as Silvia I trap them all in a Tsukuyomi like Genjutsu before they know what happened to them. From there it is a simple case of using Body Snatcher on each of them backing up the data from their minds one by one and then exiting. I got quite a shock however when I saw the face of the final one of the Wind Ninjas I had captured. it was a very young Rasa the Father of Gaara. He looked to be roughly the same age as myself so even though he was young I didn''t take his abilities for granted. I had managed to capture quite a big fish indeed. I backed up his data and left I fully expect someone of Rasas skills to be able to break out of that Genjutsu when the Chakra I inserted into them begins to weaken. I decided not to kill them as if Rasa was here, if he was killed it would alter the future to much. I teleport back to where I was at the outskirts of the village and while hidden I decode the data I got from them. This included Rasas ability to use the Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai. As it turns out by going through their memories the Missing Nin whose abilities we weren''t aware of can also use Magnet Release which is why a young Rasa was sent on this mission. The two Missing Nin have been rumoured to have moved further into the Land of Fire. They are meant to be heading towards the Fire Temple. I wrote a report and just like my last mission sent it flying off to Konoha on a hawk I released from a scroll. I then used a great deal of concentration and Teleport to a Flying Thunder God mark I left along the way. This has drastically shortened my travel time in reaching the Fire Temple. Chapter 17 Chapter Seventeen I quickly head towards the Fire Temple. The temple itself is a large monastery that houses Twelve Guardian Ninja Monks. Each member of the Twelve Guardian Monks wear a white ceremonial robe and a grey sash indicating they are part of the twelve. They all have the shaved head making them look a lot like Shaolin Monks. Upon arriving at the Fire Temple I activate my Byakugan under my mask. I search the area and as luck would have it there are no signs of the Missing Nin from the hidden wind village. I hide in the forest that surrounds the temple and keep a watch. I have brought enough supplies within my Item Box so I should be able to survive in comfort for a while. I use Wood release and Grow a hollow tree that blends in with the surroundings. I am able to use this tree for shelter for the time being until I detect the Missing Nin. Several days pass and I constantly scout the area with my Byakugan until I finally detect the presence of two Ninjas approaching. With My Byakugan I can see that they are dressed as though a Ninja from the Hidden wind would dress. I notice one of them has a humanoid figure strapped to his back that is wrapped in bandages. This must be the puppet user of the two. he was a relatively short ninja barely more than 5 feet tall. He also has dull brown hair and pale unhealthy looking skin. His partner on the other hand is quite tall well over 6 feet tall with silver messy hair. If anyone described him they would undoubtedly say he was a handsome person. That is if not for the cruel look he has in his eyes. The two are headed towards the Fire Temple and are being careful of their surroundings. Luckily with My Byakugan I can see them from all the way over here. I watch as the two stop to rest. They seem to be gathering their strength before they do whatever they are doing here. The sky has gone dark with the setting sun and I make my move. I Teleport with the Left Mangekyo Sharingan active. I cut the puppet masters tendons making him unable to move his hands and feet thus eliminating whatever threat he posed. Before I could do anything else though I was attacked by a giant wave of copper sand. I felt like complaining to him that Copper isn''t magnetic but then again neither is gold and that doesn''t stop Rasa. I dodge the copper sand by jumping into a tree branch above but no soon as my feet are set the branch is cut by the sand leaving me to plummet. The copper sand forms a Sphere around me and begins to shrink. I manage to teleport out of it by relying on my Mangekyo Sharingan. I appear right in-front of the Magnet Release user, The exact second we are face to face I have captured him in my Genjutsu. His copper sand falls to the floor as all of his Chakra is drained from it. Rather than leaving it to waste I use my recently gained and shoddily executed Magnet Release to move the copper sand towards me. As It gets close I place it within my Item Box. I will practice with this copper sand when I return to Konoha. The puppet user is laying on the floor yelling some rather abuse language at me so I quickly use Body Snatcher on him. I do the usual with Auto copy then the moment I have all his Data I return to my body and kill him. I then place his puppet within my Item Box too along with all his hidden weapons. I was surprised to find he had a large amount of money on him so that also went into my item box as it was no longer any use to him. Next is the Magnet Release user I body Snatch him and the second I do I am notified that Body Snatcher has levelled up again. Along with auto copy there is an option to absorb all of his Chakra. I figure you can never have enough Chakra so I select that too. I''m glad my Body Snatcher ability doesn''t require Chakra because while I am in his body I feel myself getting weaker and weaker. The Auto Copy and the Chakra drain finish at the same time So I return to my body backing up everything. It seems the Chakra I drain doesn''t go to my own stores of Chakra but remains in Body Snatcher making any Jutsu I use that has been backed up by i use that Chakra instead. Now that I have everything backed up I kill the Magnet Release user too. I take away any useful items he may have on him too and put them in my Item Box then I place them both within a scroll and make my way back to Konoha.If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. After returning to Konoha I give my Mission report to the captain of the Hunter Nin. I then unsealed the bodies of the two Missing Nin from Suna. After getting my mission marked as complete I head back home. What I find however is Mother ans Silvia both injured. Physically from the outside they seem okay but they are struggling to move. I used my Byakugan and see that their Tenketsu have been targeted disrupting their Chakra flow. As soon as they see me their faces sink with sorrow. I asked them "Mothers what happened?" They looked at each other then nodded before they explained "The Uchiha have reported to the Hyuga that you possess a Byakygan. They came but as you weren''t here we explained that you didn''t possess the Byakugan but hey wouldn''t take no for an answer demanding to examine you themselves. When we refused they attacked us to leave a message. I was Furious I quickly healed their Tenketsu and while they were rested I set off to the Hyuga compound. I moved through the Konoha night with such speed that everything around me seemed to blur. Using Ki I am almost flying through the air I arrived outside the Hyuga compound to find two Hyuga¡¯s waiting for me. "I demand to see the clan head immediately" My voice was almost a roar They looked at me with a pretentious smirk. They both activated their Byakugans and took a fighting pose indicating that If I want to see the clan head it is going to be on their terms. I However moved with such speed that even with their Byakugan they couldn''t react. Using the Taijutsu style I learned with from Mother I punched them both with so much force they went flying through the compound walls. With a Ki beam I broke their gate and made my way inside. I was besieged by almost a hundred Hyuga but my rage went unabated. I moulded my Chakra and used Wood Release The ground split apart as dozens of trees erupted and destroyed their compound. The Hyuga¡¯s were looking upon me like I was some kind of monster. To bad for them that this is a monster they brought upon their selves. Using up the Chakra of the wind ninja I summoned two ten feet tall wooden golems and set them upon the Hyuga''s while I strolled on through. there were many more Hyuga¡¯s coming out of the woodwork but I simply knocked them out as soon as they approached me or used one of the Thirds many Jutsu¡¯s to disable them. No matter who challenged me the result remained the same. My anger at this clan will not be abated until I put them in their place. I received every attack they could throw at me without taking any damage. Even the Eight Trigrams Vacuum Wall Palm was returned using Kiai. This Ki technique reflects air currents around me so by using this I deflect every single Eight Trigrams Vacuum Wall Palm right back to its sender I even began systematically targeting the weak points of all of their Byakgan¡¯s. I threw a single Shuriken then with the hand signs OX-DOG-DRAGON-RAT-DOG-BOAR-SNAKE-TIGER they quickly became hundreds upon hundreds. The least skilled Hyuga were taken down almost at once. The ones who avoided was greeted to the sight of me laughing as I began using Fire Release jutsu to create a hell-scape. I used my sensor abilities that I got from he Yamanaka clan to avoid injuring and children but the adults who stood before me were fair game. I got quite a wicked idea and began using Chakra threads I learned from the puppet ninja and began attaching them to all the Hyuga¡¯s while they were distracted. Using Body Snatchers ability to drain Chakra I gained the Chakra of over one hundred people. Using this Chakra I summoned more Wood Release golems. Sadly for the one hundred peoples Chakra I stole I could only make twenty five golems, but with the two that are still causing destruction it made the scene even tougher for the Hyuga to manage. Finally I made my way to the clan head of the Hyuga. I recognised his Chakra from the time I used Body Snatcher on him. He looked at me with a face filled with rage. "I like that face you are making Hyuga, maybe you understand my rage after you targeted my family!" I yelled at him over the sounds of explosions and buildings crumbling. "You think you can get away with this. You have made an enemy of the Hyuga" I began laughing maniacally. "The Hyuga became my enemy the second you targeted my Mothers. Don''t act so high an mighty. You target my family I target yours. It just so happens your family is larger than mine so I had to spread the punishment around" "Your crazy. We simply wanted to know if you stole our Byakugan" he said his voice audibly cracking with emotion. "I''m crazy am I. The crazy one is the stupid clan head who made an enemy of someone he relly shouldn''t have." In my Rage both sets of my Mangekyo Sharingan and my Byakugan tried to activate. The interference caused by all three Dojutsu brought unbelievable pain to my head. I however started laughing more and more as I felt the Nine Tails Chakra seeping out of my seal little by little. It rushed to my eyes that were flickering a orange light. With the extra power supplied by the Nine Tails Chakra my Body Snatcher ability merged all three sets of Dojutsu into a new never before seen one. I could see in the reflection of his eyes My Dojutsu had become orange in colour with a black flower in its centre. The black flower looked identical to my mark that activates the Flying Thunder God Technique. Sadly however I became aware immediately that these eyes require a huge amount of Chakra to activate which is why they used some of the Nine Tails Chakra I had sealed. "what is that Dojutsu?" The Hyuga head gasped in shock. I teleport and arrived right before him and giving him a taste of his own medicine branded a cursed seal upon his forehead. This seal is directly linked to this Dojutsu so with a small amount of Chakra sent through it I forced him to activate his Byakugan. I then made his Byakugan drain every ounce of Chakra from his body until the clan head became thin and emaciated. His hair turned white and his Byakugan turned blood red. I have now cursed the very Byakugan he was so proud of. If he ever attempts to activate his Dojutsu again they will steal all his Chakra and life energy and send it directly to me. I watched as the weakened clan head collapsed on the floor. with my work done I had the now almost destroyed Golems return to the earth while I walked briskly through the destruction I had wrought and returned home. Making sure both Mothers were resting I crawled into bed and fell into a deep peaceful sleep almost right away. Chapter 18 Chapter Eighteen The following morning as expected I am awoken to find I have received a summons from the Hokage. I quickly head over to his office to find him looking incredibly stressed. I walk in jovially however with a huge smile on my face. "Good morning Lord Third" I say gaining his attention. With a stern expression he cuts right to the chase "So then young Rowan care to explain why I have a report that a single person almost destroyed the whole Hyuga compound". I simply chuckled and said "Lord Third must already be aware they targeted my Mothers while I was on a mission. I simply returned the favour they attacked my family so I attacked theirs" with a shocked expression the Third said "didn''t you consider the possibility of reprisals coming from the Hyuga clan. As Hokage I cannot allow such incidents to continue. Every member of this village is like family to me I cannot stand by and watch them attack each other". I sneered at these words "Like family really! If that is true then how come my Mothers were attacked by the Hyuga. I am fully aware of Lord thirds ability to gather information. As you were more than likely aware the Hyuga were targeting my Mothers I wonder why you or your Anbu didn''t act to stop them". "It is not so simple as stopping such an important clan to the village" He said with a tone of melancholia. "Ah so If the clan is important the Hokage wouldn''t act. Does that mean the Hokage sees two women ostracised from their Clans as expendable. So much for your everyone is like family Bullshit you spout all the while" "That is not true I used every ounce of my power as Hokage because of that the Hyuga didn''t kill your parents" He said trying to muster up some kind of defence. "Oh well thank you Lord Hokage. You know that by doing that you only made sure I didn''t wipe the Hyuga clan off the face of the earth. The way I see it we are even now. I didn''t kill any of them I just returned the pain they inflicted on my Mothers". Before the Hokage could say anything else I said "Now if there is nothing else to discuss I have something I have to take care of". I turned around and left the Hokage''s Office. Walking through Konoha people were busy gossiping about the Hyuga being attacked. No one truly knew what happened so there were wild speculations filling in the blanks. I decided that if things continue as they are I am going to need even more power than I already hold in order to protect my family from not just The Hyuga but possibly the whole Village. I summoned the White Zetsu whose mind I had altered and had him explain the situation with Madara. He is now getting old and quite weak. He has recently awakened the Rinnegan but doing so has weakened him even more than he originally was. Because of that he can''t survive for long without being attached to the Demon Statue Of Outer Path. Hearing this I had the White Zetsu produce a clone of himself by giving him a small amount of Chakra to use as a catalyst. I placed a Teleport Mark upon the White Zetsu clone and had it travel to the region where Madara is in hiding. I returned home waiting for the time when White Zetsu is within the range of Madara. Until then I had to prepare. Madara even weakened will undoubtedly be the toughest opponent I have ever faced. My Mothers were obviously on edge as they had become aware of my taking revenge on the Hyuga clan. As such I teleport them to the forest near the Fire temple using the Flying Thunder God technique in order to keep them safe. They were shocked when I used Wood Release to create a small home for them to live in for the time being. Once they had settled and I take out several items from my Item Box for them to live in peace for at least a few weeks. I simply told them the item box was a unique seal Aunt Mito had taught me and they soon forgot about the strange appearance of goods and began settling down. I returned home and began by meditating and forming my Ki. As Ki is more powerful than Chakra but far more unstable I decided to see if I can use this as an alternative power source for my new Dojutsu than the Nine Tail¡¯s Chakra. As such I can manage to activate only a single eye but it completely wipes out all of the Ki from within my body. Even though this is only able to activate it in one eye this is more than enough to confirm my suspicion. I simply need a way to raise the amount of Ki in my body quickly and I have an idea that may help in doing just that. I travelled to Aunt Mito''s, She was worried about me after hearing of the incident with the Hyuga clan. I simply brushed it off and bluffed saying "I have far more important things to worry about which is why I took such drastic methods with the Hyuga". Aunt Mito looked at me with surprise wondering what can be more important than the Hyuga. I summoned White Zetsu and Aunt Mito''s sensory capabilities saw immediately the similarities between White Zetsu and Great Uncle Hashirama. I explained that "Madara survived the battle with Hashirama". The shock on her face was clear for all to see. For a moment she lost control of the Nine Tails Chakra within her. I was taken aback by the suffocating aura it produced. I told her he used the battle to gain Hashiramas DNA which he used to create these White Zetsu''s. Then I told her he also used Hashiramas DNA to make his Sharingan evolve into the Rinnegan and that he is now plotting against not just the village but the entire world. I also lied saying that with his spies in the village he learned that I had awakened the Wood Release and has targeted me as the only threat that could put an end to his plans. Mito looked at me her face a mix of shock and sadness. "Very well she said what can I do to help?" She said.This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it. "I wish to form a summoning contract with Lady Katsuyu. With the powers of those that dwell within Shikkotsu Forest I may stand a chance". Aunt Mito quickly took out a summoning scroll already on it were the names of Tsunade, Mito, and Hashirama. "You already know that Hashirama was a Sage but what you don''t know is that he learned his form of Sage mode from the inhabitants of the Shikkotsu Forest". I quickly signed my name on the scroll in my own blood. Mito then Summoned a portion of Lady Katsuyu. The small white slug with blue streaks that run vertically down the middle and sides of its body. "Hello Mistress Mito. What can I do for you today?" The slug politely asked. Her voice was tender and soft. "I wish for you to reverse summon this new summoner to the Shikkotsu Forest. As It would turn out Madara is still alive and is plotting something we must put an end to. We have reason to believe he has awakened the Rinnegan". Mito succinctly summed up the situation we found ourselves in. When I heard that I was going to be learning the sage mode of the Shikkotsu Forest I placed a teleportation mark on White Zetsu and gave him an order to go to a specific place and wait there for me. After giving it some thought he slug before me said "very well Mistress Mito". The small slug and myself both disappeared within a puff of white smoke. The next thing I knew I was surrounded blue grass and bizarre looking trees. This forest looked so unlike anywhere else in the world. "This way young man" Katsuyu politely said. I followed her until I cam upon what appeared to be a large white cliff face. To my Surprise however the Katsuyu I have been following simply merged with it and the cliff began to move. It was only then that I realised that cliff was in-fact Katsuyu''s full body. When she stood upright she was larger than the tallest mountains. Her polite speaking tone remained however creating quite the contradiction between intimidation and approachable. "Well then young summoner as lady Mito seems to trust you then allow me to begin your preparation" The huge mountain sized slug crouched down towards me I was too taken aback to realise that she was opening her mouth. Suddenly I found my self swallowed hole by Lady Katsuyu. My entire body was completely covered with slime. As I began to panic I heard the voice of Lady Katsuyu within my mind. "Do not panic. You should not be harmed just allow yourself to give in to the slime". Despite my best judgement I did just that. The slime began hardening making me unable to move even a pinky finger. I don''t know how long we stayed like this as the canopy from the trees blocked out the sunlight so I quickly lost track of time. If I had to guess it has been over a week. Katsuyu kept my body healthy while I was encased within her hardened slime. Through this slime I suddenly felt a strange for of energy flowing into my body. It was then that I realised what Lady Katsuyu was doing. She was using her slime as a medium to pull Nature energy into my body. Lady Katsuyu perfectly balance the amount of Nature Energy to my Chakra level eliminating the fear of transforming into a toad like the training Naruto undertook in the anime and manga. She kept this nature balance while keeping me unable to move until my body began to integrate the Nature energy. Suddenly it fused with my Chakra forming Senjutsu Chakra. My body became a Sage that had the exact same markings of Hashirama when he is in Sage Mode. Seeing that I had become a Sage so quickly Lady Katsuyu was a little shocked. She said "When Hashirama was your age it took him almost a month to adapt to Senjutsu Chakra. Perhaps its the fact your body also holds Ki". The slime cocoon I was within crumbled to dust I moved for the first time in over a week yet my body felt no weakness if anything I felt powerful. Entering Sage mode had boosted every function of my body. "As you also possess Ki you should follow me. one of the elders within the forest may be able to further help you" I listened to Katsuyu''s bell like voice. She split off another small slug from her body who lead the way so I followed her expectantly. Through the thick and magical looking forest I followed the slug that was part of the great sage Lady Katsuyu. With my sage mode I could easily sense that the small section was lacking the Senjutsu Chakra that the full form of her possesses. I however obediently followed this slug as the promise of more power is irresistible. Suddenly we came to a clearing deep within the forest. The Blue grass is short and there are many lakes of emerald green water. There are several houses that are almost dome shaped with pointy protrusions sticking out of them. My eyes went wide as I recognised the architecture "Namekians" I whispered to my self. Lady Katsuyu took me to the largest of these dwellings. There a powerful looking Namekian exited fully aware of our arrival. "Hello there Sir Guru" lady Katsuyu said politely. The Namekian looked nothing like the Guru from the Dragon Ball anime and manga. He was thin and tall with powerful looking muscles. The only similarity are his slitted eyes that barely look open. "What can I do for you Miss Katsuyu?" The Namekian known as Guru politely replied. "This young man came here to learn Sage Mode but he also possesses Ki strangely enough I was hoping you would be able to help unlock some of his latent Ki for him. Guru looked at me his eyes narrowed and said "I could do but his Ki abilities are shoddy. If I increased them as is his body may not be able to handle the sudden increase". I put some thought to it. It is more than obvious my self taught Ki abilities look to a master like a monkey making a tool would to an engineer. Suddenly an idea popped into my head. "Lord Guru I have a unique ability that will allow me to make use of all your knowledge with you permission may I use it on you this will allow me to master my Ki in mere moments". Guru and Katsuyu looked intrigued by the ability I just described, ordinarily mastering Ki would take decades how can I say I could do it in mere moments. Guru looked at Katsuyu who nodded her little slug head. Guru walked forward and said "Very well then show me this ability". I placed my hand upon Guru and used Body Snatcher. My own body dropped to the floor like a puppet with its strings cut. Lady Katsuyu was worried and rushed over. "Don''t worry lady Katsuyu. I have simply moved my mind into Guru''s body" Katsuyu looked shocked but I gave it no though. I selected the Auto Copy and watched the progress bar until it was complete. Then I returned to my body and while backing up all of Guru''s data I decoded his knowledge. The Ki in my body began to fluctuate and rise out of my body forming a flowing almost fire like aura. I suddenly got it under control and returned it back within my body as though nothing happened. Gurus slitted eyes opened wide for the first time. "Quite an amazing ability you have there thank you for showing it to us" Guru then walked towards me placed his hand on my forehead and as though pulling and invisible rope began to extract my latent potential. I felt the Ki in my body growing with each passing moment. When Guru was finished I had access to ten times the Ki as I had to begin with. I thanked them from the bottom of my heart for their aid. I explained that time is of the essence so I used my teleport mark to arrive at White Zetsu''s location. I came to a small village close to the Ryuchi Cave. This is the home of a peculiar clan. This is the clan that Jugo will eventually be born into. They have a bizarre ability to passively absorb nature energy. As they are unable to control the Nature energy however they have a habit of going berserk and wild with rage often transforming into monstrous appearances. I thanked White Zetsu for his hard work. I waited until dark as usual and with my Byakugan and left Mangekyo Sharingan combination Teleport into the bedroom of the sleeping Clan head. I used Body Snatcher as usual used Auto Copy. Then the moment it was done I backed up the data to the external Server and Teleport out of the village. I took shelter in a secluded place where no one can find me and decoded and implemented their ability. As soon as this was done Nature energy began flowing into my body weather I moved or not. I quickly switched to Sage Mode and felt that the Senjutsu usage of Sage Mode was offset by the production of Senjutsu production that this clans ability produces. Because of this I can now stay in Sage mode permanently unless I somehow manage to use more Senjutsu Chakra than this ability can produce. Chapter 19 Chapter Nineteen I appeared right beside my White Zetsu which had remained hidden outside of Madara''s hideout. According to White Zetsu he has a barrier erected around that interferes with the Flying Thunder God, because of this I can''t use that as a way to gain entrance. Unlike most enemies where I don''t mind wasting a bit of Chakra and teleporting with my Mangekyo Sharingan I feel that would only be a fools move against Madara. I decided I needed to come up with something that he wouldn''t have taken into consideration. Just then a flash of inspiration strikes. I wait as I usually do until my target becomes tired. Madara however has White Zetsu and his clones guarding him while he is asleep. I plan to use this to my advantage. Using my Byakugan I watch silently until the old and weakened Madara falls asleep. I was shocked by how old Madara looked his skin looked so wrinkled and dry and his hair was a shocking white even brighter than the Zetsu¡¯s. Myself and White Zetsu then begin to merge with the ground. This is a special ability of the Zetsu''s known as Mayfly. I gained the knowledge of this ability when I used Body Snatcher on White Zetsu however my ability to control Wood Release was lacking at the time. Now however with the increase in Body Snatchers abilities allowing me to used Chakra stored in the Database I can use this at practically no cost. Myself and White Zetsu appear within Madaras hideout. It is dark and damp this place had such an eerie vibe it was well deserving of the name Mountains Graveyard. I watched as my White Zetsu appeared before Madara. The weak and feeble looking Madara stired and awoke. Zetsu gave a report on Konoha. I had him feed back false information that the members of Danzo''s Root organisation are planning to infiltrate the Village Hidden In The Mist. I know this is an important location for Madara as he plans on placing the Mizukage under a Genjutsu and control them eventually. He wants to use this puppet as an excuse to plunge the Ninja world into war. Madara quickly orders the Zetsu who was guarding him to go to Kiri and find out everything about what is going on. This left just my White Zetsu guarding Madara as he drifted off to sleep once again. When I felt the time was right I appeared out of the ground. I watched as the sleeping Madaras chest rose and fell. Deciding the time was right I made my way towards Madara as stealthily as I could. I reached my hand out towards him when suddenly. I was pushed back by an invisible force. I flew back with such force I cracked into the wall. Suddenly I heard a wheezy sounding laugh. I lifted my head to see Madara wide awake and staring at me with those eyes. The shocking purple and those concentric rings can only mean one thing Rinnegan. Just staring down at them my body felt as though it was under a tremendous pressure. Madara had just used one of the Six Paths Techniques knows as the Deva Path, this controls attractive and repulsive forces. "Those Markings just like Hashirama''s" He said in a hoarse whisper. He however began Laughing even more. He sounded like a man possessed. Suddenly the older Madaras body began sprouting mechanical limbs. He almost appeared to be like aspider. If it wasn''t for his humanoid body sticking out of its top you would call him a robotic spider. I however know this is yet another power of the Rinnegan knows as the Asura Path. Not wanting to continue being on the back foot I used a Sage mode enhanced Wood Release Golems to keep him busy. This however may have been a mistake as Madara became even more ecstatic "Wood Release too. Oh my, What has this old man done to deserve such a gift come to my very own door step".The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. The spider like Madara was happily toying with my Wood Golems However as they were enhanced with Senjutsu Chakra they managed to put up a small fight enabling me to regroup and come up with a new strategy. I took a deep breath and began setting my plan into action. I activated the Mangekyo Sharingan of Kotoro. Seeing my eyes he became even more amused. "My what a rare beast you are. Hashiramas abilities and those of the Uchiha too". I was a little annoyed that he was so comfortable as to be able to talk down to me even in the midst of battle. Then again my opponent is Madara Uchiha what did I expect. I have been having it too easy for far too long. Its about time I got a challenge. Just as my Wood Golems began to crack and crumble I teleport right behind Madara. He didn''t even turn to face me as I felt the Deva Path begin to repel me again. I teleport away and back within the sphere of repulsive energy after it had gotten far enough away from Madara. Now that I am within striking range one of my eyes switch to a Byakugan. Madara was quite amused by this change "HAHAHA now you''re a Hyuga are you". Using the Gentle Fist style I injected some of my Chakra into Madaras Tenketsu. He didn''t even dodge as though he was once again looking down upon me but I don''t care. I let Madara lead me around until the perfect opportunity to pressure him arrives. He then uses the Deva path once more so I teleport in and out and use Gentle fist in the same exact spot. That is step one complete Now I switched to the Nine tails Chakra Cloak. For a single moment there was a slight crack on Madaras smug expression but he soon realised I am not a true Jinchuriki and the smug face returned. I used the speed boost to dart around the room now I used my Mothers Taijutsu style. Madara used the Deva Paths power of attraction. I was gripped by an invisible force that began pulling me towards Madara. I however once again teleport away then landed a huge Taijutsu blow using my Mothers style. The elderly Madara was shook momentarily. But that completed step Two Now I just began biding my time I would teleport out of the range of his attacks. Use Wood Release, Magnet Release and pretty much every other trick I had up my sleeve to keep him thinking I was fighting against him desperately. "Oh my It is like I am fighting everyone from Konoha at once". His smile was disgusting but I didn''t mind I thought to myself that¡¯s right keep taking it easy. "Once I had wasted enough time I switched to Silvia¡¯s Mangekyo Sharingan in my right eye. One thing I was grateful that Madara doesn''t seem to know how to deactivate his Rinnegan yet. I use Silvia¡¯s Mangekyo Sharingan and trap Madara in the Tsukuyomi like Genjutsu. I am not stupid enough to believe it will keep him for long but this was Step Three. Now with my left Mangekyo Sharingan I cast the Uchiha¡¯s ultimate Genjutsu on him. I used Izanami and that eye immediately lost its sight. I however simply activated a backup of that Sharingan returning it to normal. I watch on as Madara is now in a Genjutsu within a Genjutsu. Even he I would expect Madara to take a while to break out of that. I take this opportunity to use Body Snatcher. Within Madaras body I see he has just broken out of the Tsukuyomi like Genjutsu only to receive a Gentle Fist blow to his Tenketsu. The Izanami is a Genjutsu that traps the victim in an infinite loop until they realise where they have gone wrong with their life. I ironically used this on Madara because I hated how his story ended in the anime and manga. I begin the Auto Copy function of Body Snatcher after all of Madaras data is scanned I return to my own body and back it up on the external Server. Then my eyes turn to deep within this dreary underground hideout. The Demon Statue Of Outer Path seated upon a tree. From this tree however is the upper body of a living clone of Hashirama Senju. I''m not sure if it will work or not but I try to use Body Snatcher on the clone. My mind quickly becomes one with the clone I use Auto Copy again. After returning to my body I quickly backup the data I got from the clone. Now I will have true Hashirama Senju cells at my disposal. This should boost my life energy and Chakra levels explosively. After leaving the clone I alter it like I did the White Zetsu I forcefully download a backup of my mind into the Clone. As it has no mind of its own this is far easier and cost less Chakra than it did with White Zetsu. As a little treat I also infuse its cells with Jugo¡¯s clans ability to naturally absorb Nature Energy. The Clone opened its eyes and just like Zetsu sprouting from the ground it exited the tree. "Hi there. Lets see its weird to call you Hashirama and its weird to call you Rowan. I will name you Kamui" I laugh internally thinking of the wood based hero from My Hero Academia. "Seriously dude". The clone said in response. Then it looked at its body then back at me before saying "Well I suppose it does fit Kamui it is". Myself Kamui and the White Zetsu I altered all stand together this is quite a bizare scene three separate bodies sharing the same mind. Right Kamui I won''t tell you what to do with your life. from now on you are your own person. I only hope that if anything happens to our Mothers and I''m not there you and this Zetsu will protect them. We all shook hands and went our seperate ways. The only thing remaining in the Mountains Graveyard was Madara standing still like a statue as he remained trapped within Izanami. Chapter 20 Chapter Twenty When I got time to decode the backups I had made I was presented with quite the surprise. In the data I got from Madara an ability I really wasn''t expecting was present. It was none other than Observaion Haki from One Piece. This explained why he was aware of me even with his eyes closed and me completely having no presence to detect. I was happy for the unexpected gain. I went through Madara''s memories and to my surprise there is a Grand Line in this world. It seems the Ninja villages are devided between the North East South and West Blue seas With the Village Hidden in the Mist located within the Grand Line. Which is this worlds analogue of the Land of Water. It seems after leaving Konoha old Madara became a pirate for a few years and made it all the way to the New World before coming back to challenge Hashirama at the Valley of The End. I teleport back to our home in Konoha just in time for sunrise where I begin decoding all the data on the external server. It took quite a while to implement all the changes to my body. After finishing My Chakra levels and life energy had been raised to the level of a prime Hashirama Senju. I also have complete almost control of the Rinnegan. Sadly I couldn''t deactivate the Rinnegan on my own I required the aid of Body Snatcher to switch it out with a Dojutsu I could deactivate. I was a little worried that as a copy of Madaras Rinnegan their vision would be linked but luckily that doesn''t seem to be the case. I spend until mid afternoon becoming familiar with every Jutsu that Madara knew. I even experimented using the Black Chakra receivers I was now capable of manifesting as hey gave me an idea for their use. I then felt a large amount of people slowly beginning to surround my house. As I am in Sage Mode and also capable of using the Yamanaka clans sensor abilities I was more than aware for quite a while of who they were. It is none other than the Uchiha in the guise of the Military Police force. I walked calmly outside to see almost two hundred of them. They began to part like the sea would for Moses and walking directly towards me was the head of the Uchiha clan I previously had interactions with. "Do not resist Senju you are under arrest" He looked at me as though one would look upon an ant. This attitude did not go down well with me however. "And what is my crime" I said while releasing an overwhelming amount of blood-lust. Some of the least powerful Uchiha¡¯s began shaking at the mere presence of that blood-lust. "You attacked the Hyuga clan did you not" the Uchiha clan head seemed to be enjoying this . "Are you forgetting that the Hyuga attacked my family first. What punishment have been levied against them?" My attitude was rubbing some of the overly proud Uchiha the wrong way. One such Uchiha yelled "Listen kid stop acting so high and mighty". His Sharingan began to rotate and morph into a Mangekyo Sharingan. I as quickly attacked by this Uchiha as a partially formed Susanoo arm rushed towards me to land a powerful blow. I simply stood there and after activating the Rinnegan I used the Petra Path and absorbed the Chakra that made up the Susanoo. The influx of Chakra boosted my already large Chakra reserves. The Uchiha¡¯s watched on as their previously smug faces contorted in horror. "Rinnegan!" The Uchiha clan head shouted in horror. "That''s right Uchiha. My Dojutsu have evolved into the Rinnegan" I bluffed. I figured as the Hyuga and the Uchiha share a common ancestry they would assume that both Dojutsu could be evolved into the Rinnegan. As the Uchiha clan head was contemplating the chances of victory some of the least informed Uchiha began to attack. I found myself battling against wave upon wave of Uchiha grunt.Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road. My speed and strength were more than enough to handle them however. I darted in-between each member of the Uchiha. As the Rinnegan could see the Tenketsu within the body just like the Byakygan I used the Gentle Fist Method of Taijutsu. With each attack more and more Uchiha began falling to the ground. Any and all opposition the offered was quickly over come. If they used a Ninjutsu I absorbed it with the Petra Path. If they used Taijutsu I used the Gentle Fist and shut them down. I used the Eight Trigrams Vacuum Wall Palm creating an incredible shockwave sending them flying. Eventualy my opposition became smaller and smaller. I had taken the initiative to which the Uchiha were unable to recover. Only a few managed to weakly offer any resistance. When it came down to just myself and the clan head I could see how nervous he appeared to be. His forehead was drenched in sweat and his brows were furrowed.The clan head activated his Mangekyo Sharingan. I was a little taken aback to see it was an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. He rushed towards me with a katana in hand. I in my arrogance decided to take his attack and counter attack with one of my own. I lunged towards him with a Kunai in hand. I was shocked to find that I phased right through him. It didn''t take long to realise e had an ability quite similar to Obito Uchiha in the Anime and Manga. The uchiha clan head was looking at me with a sense of invincibility. I however I am more than familiar with how this kind of ability works. from out of my Item box i summoned the puppet I had taken from the Hidden Wind ninja. I had spent the mrning inserting Chakra recievers into its various parts and with the power of the Rinnegan I was able to manipulate it like a puppet master would only without the need for Chakra Threads. I then sent wave after wave of copper sand against the Uchiha clan head to attack and distract the Uchiha clan head. Since I had become a sage the copper sand had become much faster and harder than it was before. While the Uchiha clan head was busy phasing through the sand I attacked from his blind side wih the puppet. This contnued for a while until the Uchiha clan head attempted a counter attack against me. This is exactly what I wanted as the moment he switched to attack his fate was sealed. I repeated a scene almost identica to Minato vs Obito. As the last of my attacks phased through him and the clan head was corporeal again in order to be able to attack me I reappeared behind him I stabbed a Black Receiver straight into his shoulder pinning him to the ground. The Black Receiver interrupts his flow of Chakra making him unable to escape even with his Kamui like ability. I continue pinning his limbs down and once I am sure al Uchiha''s have been defeated I claim the spoils of war. I go between each and every Uchiha that showed any kind of useful ability and use Body Snatcher on them. I made a backup of five Mangekyo Sharingan''s and the Clan Heads Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. Everyone else were deamed to be trash and a waste of my time using Body Snatcher on them. Not long after I completed my work backing up any useful abilities a squadron of Anbu arrived being led by the Third Hokage himself. I deactivated my Rinnegan and waited for him to arrive. "Hello there Lord Third. wonderful day isn''t it" I said to him as his expression was tense looking around at all the fallen Uchiha¡¯s. "Little Rowan it seems you have yet again done something most people would advise against" He said with a hint or regret in his eyes. "Not at all Lord Third. Just like last time I was provoked. I am not one to simply lay down and be victimised. Especially not when those who dare make me a victim are sorely lacking in ability to do so". The Third was unable to agree with me and said "then I''m afraid we have come to an impasse. I can''t allow you to keep disrupting the villages stability". I laughed heartily at those words. "Surely you jest Lord Third. This Village''s stability is nothing more than a precarious house of cards. Every Clan bar a few think to profit over the others. They gain their strength not for the well being of the village but their own. However if you say that you can no longer tolerate my presence in the village then I shall simply move on. How does that sound to you". The Third looked dismayed by my words however before he managed to say if me leaving the village was for the best or not, with a puff of white smoke Danzo appeared surrounded by his Root Anbu. "I whole heartedly disagree Lord Hokage. How can we allow someone so dangerous to leave our village alive" his calm measured voice barely masking his contempt. "Ah Danzo, I wondered when I would be meeting you. Are you still pretending your machinations to amass power under any means necessary is for the best of the Village". I said hitting closer to home than Danzo would have liked. "What do you know child?" his tone of voice became dark and dripping with sarcasm. "if you truly wish for the stability of this village Lord Third you should really keep an eye on those closest to you" I watched them both stare each other down I quickly interrupted their thoughts however and said "well then I here by tender my resignation as a ninja of the Leaf Village. Effective immediately myself and my family are no longer citizens of Konoha. As the Third puts the safety of clans who attack us before our own we no longer feel safe living in this village". The third was just about to say something however but I raised a finger to interrupt him. Then I decided to make a show of my exit and used the Flying Thunder God to teleport to the house I made for my Mothers. I like to imagine that the Hokage and Danzo were both dumbstruck by my theatrical exit. Chapter 21 Chapter Twenty-One As I appeared outside the house I made for my Mothers in the forest near the Fire Temple I was quickly pounced upon by a much larger Kuma. Hearing the commotion both my Mothers came outside and looked at the scene fondly. Inside the house I explained the happenings of the village. They were infuriated to hear that yet again the Uchiha¡¯s attacked and even more so they were disappointed in the Third Hokage for him backing the Uchiha along with the Hyuga despite their recent actions. I said "I tendered my resignation but I seriously doubt they will accept it and instead classify me as a Missing Nin in order to save face" they both look heartbroken at such thought. I then asked "With how things are what would you like to do?" they both looked at each other. It seems a conversation was being had between their eyes. "Well we have no reason to return to the village. They have already allowed two attacks on out family to go unpunished" Mother said with a resolute expression. "Do you know anywhere we can go where we may be safe?" Silvia asked to which I nodded. Using Madaras knowledge of the world from his travels I was aware of a union of countries that has very little to do with Ninjas. Hidden in the East blue is a little island that will be the beginning of the One Piece anime and manga. The island is known as Dawn Island and a small scenic little village known as Foosha Village sounds like the ideal place for my Mothers to keep a low profile. As I was kind of expecting to have to make an escape from Konoha eventually I had White Zetsu travel there before my confrontation with Madara and I set up a safe house Foosha village ready just in case. After telling them about it they both saw it as a place to enjoy their retirement together. We packed up everything within my Item Box and I used the Flying Thunder God to take us there. The place I chose was filled with green fields and quaint little windmills that turn with the sea breeze. In the distance is a large mountain which is home to the mountain bandits that Luffy will be raised by. I however had no need to worry about the safety of my Mothers here as they could easily handle some mountain bandits with ease.Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author. Our house was situated on a small cliff over looking the shimmering blue ocean. The house I made was an incredibly Beautiful house as I had made for the two of them. I wanted them to be as comfortable as possible Their eyes were shining with excitement as we made our way inside. White Zetsu has been preparing for our eventual escape from Konoha and as such he as been gathering all the requirements needed for our Mothers to live comfortably. It was quite amusing as we entered the parlour room to find Zetsu sat down reading a book. Both Mother and Silvia were shocked when they first saw him but I quickly explained that he was made using a special Jutsu that backed up my mind within his body. After asking I¡¯m several questions that really only I should know they both grew quite fond of Zetsu and began treating him as yet another of their sons. I happily explained that there is another one of us made with my mind as a backup and they were excited to meet him eventually. I however am not sure exactly where Kamui is at the moment. I believe he is probably off somewhere enjoying his life as that is pretty much what I have been doing since coming to this world. Later that evening while both Mothers were walking around the scenery to get a grasp of their location myself and White Zetsu were having a talk about the situation within the Leaf Village. He had left a clone there to relay information back in much the same way Madara had. It seems the Village is in an uproar with both the Hyuga and the Uchiha demanding I be treated as a Missing Nin. The third however is refusing to take that action which is hurting him politically within the Village. Danzo however has gained the support of the Hyuga and Uchiha by taking advantage of the situation further improving his political might within the village. I shrugged it off as I don''t care what the village do as long as it doesn''t impact my Mothers. What I was most shocked about however is that according to White Zetsu he has awakened an ability similar to my Body Snatcher. He says it is only at the level of when I first used Body Snatcher but he has been using it to gain enough strength to be able to defend himself from any upcoming threat. Unlike me however who can use a mixture of peoples cells and abilities he can only use one at a time and it requires him transforming into that person. There also seems to be a time limit on how long he can use their abilities for at full power. He however just cycles through transformations as the time limit runs out refreshing it. He demonstrated by transforming into a ninja that seemed to be from the hidden Rain Village. In the anime and Manga white Zetsu''s had the ability to manipulate their Chakra and transform into a Ninja being almost indistinguishable from the original. They were however far weaker than the ninja whose form they took. I was glad to see my White Zetsu had the ability to far surpass any other white Zetsu. chapter 22 Chapter Twenty-Two We have been settle within Foosha village for around two years now. I have spent the last two years training with my Rinnegan becoming fully capable of using it to its fullest. Because Madara was unable to use it completely at the time I copied it from him it required a great deal of effort on my part. This two years with my Mothers in Foosha village has been incredibly peaceful and fulfilling. Silvia and Mother both got jobs and integrated into the village incredibly well. So much in fact they have made many friends within the village. As I am no longer a ninja of Konoha I have decided to go on a journey to places I personally want to in order to increase the cards I have at my disposal. before I was at the mercy of relying on the luck of my missions to find people worthy of using Body Snatcher on. I use the White Zetsu based technique Mayfly and merge with the Earth. It may not be as fast as a Space Time Ninjutsu but travelling using this technique is way quicker than if a normal ninja was to travel. I then arrived at the place where my first target is located. It was none other than the Village hidden in the Rock also known as Iwa. The reason I am here is the ability known as Dust Release the only know Kekkei Tota within the whole of the Naruto fiction. Infiltrating the Iwa was simple with the use of Mayfly. I honestly become amazed at the infiltration capabilities of White Zetsu. it is no wonder he was used by the Akatsuki and Madara to gather Intel. The land of Iwa is now in the midst of transitioning from the Second to the Third Tsuchikage. The second has recently been killed in a battle against his life long rival the Mizukage of the Village Hidden in the Mist. I use a combination of my Sage Mode and Yamanaka sensory abilities and find the Third Tsuchikage''s location. The Third Onoki who will become quite an important character during the fourth world war. I was however disappointed to find out that Onoki has recently declared war on the Leaf, Wind, and Rain villages at the same time. This has kicked off the Second Shinobi World War.The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation. As I remained hidden I listened to their briefing and it seems that since the loss of the second Tsuchikage the rock have been losing missions to rival ninja villages. It seems he plans to gain resources that his village is lacking by taking them from the villages he sees as having taken them from him. I waited as is my usual Modus Operandi. Luckily when I use Mayfly my body becomes as though it is almost entirely made out of wood. This takes away the need to eat or breath or even relieve myself. It simply requires a steady stream of Senjutsu Chakra which I constantly produce. This form makes me next to impossible for sensor ninjas to detect it does however severely limit my abilities to defend myself. As such I have to leave the wood like form in order to safely battle anyone. When the sun goes down and the night becomes quiet I use my Byakugan to see exactly what Onoki is doing. I could sense it perfectly but sometimes seeing something is for the best too. When I know all of my senses are reporting the same thing I know I haven''t fallen into a trap. In the ninja world you can never be too careful. After completing a huge pile of paper work Onoki stands from his desk rubbing the small of his back. It seems even now he has issues with back pain. He soaks in a large bath area within the Tsuchikage Residence. I felt a little averse to watching another man Bathe but this is for the mission. Onoki got out drank a bottle of milk. and made a loud and refreshed "AH!" sound as he finished. It seems he has recovered from the stress of the day with this. I felt like chuckling watching the normally intimidating Third Tsuchikage behaving in such a manner. After this he retired to his room. There he and his wife retired to bed. I never really gave much thought to him being married in the manga and anime but as he has grandchildren it stands to reason he has a wife and children too. Luckily I wasn''t forced to witness any matrimonial like relations this evening as the two fell asleep pretty quickly. When I was certain he was in a deep enough sleep my body began to emerge from his bedroom wall. I only emerged partially as I am overlooking the sleeping couple. I reached out a hand that is no longer in wood form and touch the Third Tsuchikage gently. Body Snatcher activates and with me in control of the Thirds Body I open my eyes to see how incredibly creepy the partially emerged wooden figure of me sticking out of the wall looks like. The body of the Third is technically still asleep so he is under the effects of what they call sleep paralysis. The only reason I managed to open his eyes was because ninjas are trained to be able to combat the effects of sleep paralysis in order to complete their missions safely. I quickly use Auto Copy and lay back down closing the eyes of the Third Tsuchikage. I end Body snatcher and quickly zip back into the wall just in case. Luckily the Third remained asleep completely unaware that anything happened. I backed up his data and made my way out of the Hidden Rock Village where I preceded to decode all of the data giving myself the knowledge of all of Onoki''s techniques. Chapter 23 Chapter Twenty-Three My next Target is in the Village Hidden in the cloud. It is none other than the Third Raikage. He is known to have been the most powerful Raikage in history. So much in fact that he was able to stand toe to toe against the Eight Tails and only suffer an injury hat he himself caused. The Cloud Village or Kumo while not involved in the Third Ninja world war do suffer the loss of this Raikage as he battles ten thousands ninjas single handedly for three days and nights until his exhaustion gets the better of him. It is because of this strength that I placed his abilities on my list of targets. I have pretty big plans and I need all the power I can gather before I can enact them. I use Mayfly yet again and gain entrance to Kumo. I can sense a pretty incredible amount of Chakra to which I am drawn towards. I find the Third Raikage training with his son and the Jinchuriki of the Eight Tails. At his point the Jinchuriki is Blue B. The Raikage and his son were both cloaked in a Lightening release aura while Blue B was using the Version 1 three tails Chakra form. I watched in astonishment at the speed of their movements. The hidden cloud are renowned for their speed and seeing this before me really drove that home. Blue B and the future Fourth Raikage were however unable to keep up with the speed of A the Third Raikage. The Raikage first subdued his son then it was a one on one battle between Raikage and Jinchuriki. A toyed with Blue B making the Jinchuriki fall to his frustration. He then sprouted a fourth tail and switched to Version 2 Chakra mode. Doing this however he began losing his reasoning and began attacking wildly. The Third Raikage looked upon this sight with eyes filed with disappointment. With speed so fast even my Sage Mode and Yamanaka sensory skills could barely keep up, the Third Raikage appeared behind the crazed Jinchuriki. With his three fingers pointed and flickering with so much Lightening Release Chakra he quickly uses his most powerful Jutsu the Hell Stab. The Jinchuriki is pierce by the incredible force and its Chakra Mode begins to dissolve. Luckily for Blue B the Chakra of the Eight Tails lacks the caustic component that the Nine Tails does. Because of this his skin remained unblemished except for where he was stabbed by the Raikage''s jutsu.This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. The Raikage didn''t seem concerned however as the wound began healing immediately testament to the survivability of a Jinchuriki. I did my usual scouting and waiting and copied the abilities of the Raikage without a hitch. I then decided to put my time in Kumo to further use. I travelled to the location where Blue B was being cared for. He was still unconscious so I performed the Body Snatcher technique on him. This is the first time I had tried it on a true Jinchuriki so I was a little concerned about what would happen. To tell you the truth it was my curiosity of this which is why I decided o test it. I quickly found that the unconscious Blue B was being tormented deep within his mind by the Eight Tails. The second I took control of the body the Eight Tails recognised that I was a different entity to its Jinchuriki. In-fact the mental projection of Blue B was switched out with a mental projection of my self making it more than obvious to the Tailed Beast. The Eight tails was a giant Bull with an octopus like lower body. "Who are you?" Eight Tails said in confusion. His joy at tormenting his Jinchuriki now replaced with shock. As I am a mental projection of my self I activated the Rinnegan. Seeing these eyes the Eight Tails became even more shocked. "May I please talk to you Gyuki?" I asked politely as I knew his name he began to settle down. While this was happening I tried the Auto Copy function and watched as it began as normal. "what do you wish to talk to me about I wonder?" Gyuki asked in reply. I the spun a tale to him about how there is an evil person wishing to revive the Ten Tails and asked him for his help. Gyuki was obviously shocked this knowledge of things such as the Ten Tails should only be known of by his creator and his brother. I implied that I had gained the aid of the Nine Tails already and turned its attention to the outside world where it could sense the Nine Tails Chakra coming from the Strength of One Hundred Seal. He gave it a little thought and passes his fist through the bars of his seal. There he passed onto me a large amount of his Chakra. It was so much that it dwarfed the amount that Great Aunt Mito had given me. "There I should have given you more than that Stingy Fox" He said with pride. He seemingly thought that the Nine Tails had only agreed to give me a small amount of Chakra. The Chakra he gave me was quickly taken in by Body Snatcher I said "Thank you Gyuki" he smiled and said "No worries. I can tell you are not an evil person. If the people who wish to revive the Ten Tails are as you say they are they will come for me eventually. I only wish I wasn''t trapped within this useless Jinchuriki who treats me like a tool". I said to Gyuki putting on my best Sage like act "threat not Gyuki for I have foreseen you shall be joined with one who will become your most trusted partner. Be patient and the one who raps and has a thing for mature women with large breasts shall be the key to your survival". "A Rapping pervert who likes big breasted mature ladies now that you mention it someone does spring to mind" It seems Gyuki is already aware of the future Killer B. "My time is running out Gyuki I must bid you farewell". just as I was about to leave Gyuki said to me "Wait, If you go to the Jinchuriki of Matatabi I will explain the importance of the situation and have that cat offer you its aid to". I nodded and thanked Gyuki before My timer ran out. I quickly backed up everything I had gained from this little experiment and began sinking into the ground using Mayfly. Chapter 24 Chapter Twenty-Four I quickly made my way to the still sleeping Jinchuriki of the Two Tails. It was an incredibly young looking Yugito Nii. She was fast asleep so I quickly used body Snatcher on her and just like with the Eight Tails I appeared before the Two Tails. This giant flaming blue cat with different coloured eyes looked quite intimidating however it proved to be quite polite which took me by surprise. I put on a polite and sage like act showcasing my Rinnegan. After talking about the "evil people" who wish to revive the Ten Tails the Matatabi as the Two Tails is known shared with me its Chakra too. I thanked it before returning to my body. Outside of Kumo I couldn''t help but laugh my gains in this village have really been incredible. The Chakra I have now stored within the Body Snatcher Database is far more than I physically possess. Because of this I can now spam most Jutsu from within the Data Base almost infinitely. I am however and will never be satisfied. I came to this world and with my power I can take every power within it for myself. I would be a failure as an Otaku if i didn''t take advantage of this fact. After I had finished my business I finished with Kumo White Zetsu popped up out of the ground looking concerned. "What''s wrong?" I asked finding his change in expression quite odd. Foosha village is under attack by Pirates. Our Mothers are holding them back but they seem to be quite powerful. I teleport to the marking I left at the house. right away I could sense the Chakra of both my Mothers in the distance. Using the Byakugan and my left Mangekyo Sharingan I teleport beside them. One look at these Pirates tell me they are the Arlong Pirates of One Piece. What¡¯s more their leader Arlong is swinging a sword towards Mother he has no business having. It is none other than the shark sword Samehada. By using this sword he was managing to cut and devour the Chakra of both my Mothers. They were cut up and weak but still seemingly protecting people of this village. All of the Arlong Pirates are causing havoc in the Village so I begin dealing with them first. I split into almost forty Shadow Clones all appearing with a puff of white smoke. My clones all rush into the Arlong Pirates and begin battling against them. While that is going on my original boy decides to deal with Arlong. I switch to the Byakugan to get a look at Arlong¡¯s Tenketsu to understand what¡¯s going on. Samehada is a sentient sword which devours its users Chakra and as I didn''t expect Arlong to have Chakra I wanted to know how he was managing to use Samehada. It was while looking intently at Arlong I realised although he is unable to control his Chakra he is naturally producing an incredibly potent form of Chakra which Samehada seems intoxicated by. It seems all the Fishmen naturally produce this Chakra but Arlong¡¯s seems to be more potent than those of his crew. Now that that mystery is solved I switch to attack. I switch to Uchiha clan leaders Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and phase through each and every attack that Arlong and Samehada send my way. This combined with the Observation Haki and my sensory skills means it is almost impossible to land a hit on me.Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author. I have far more control than the Clan leader did. He could only phase his entire body at a time I however only phase the part of the body being attacked much like Obito was able to do during the Fourth Shinobi War. I heard Arlong mutter under his breath something about Devil Fruits which made me want to burst out laughing. As such my corporeal body parts were left free to attack. With one Senjutsu infused punch I sent Arlong and Samehada bouncing across the ground. Arlong attempted to intercept my punch with Samehada but the sword was unable to devour Senjutsu Chakra. Suddenly all my clones disappeared and with that all their experience returned to me. I was amused that ever clone used Body Snatcher on each member of the crew then decoded the data before undoing the Shadow Clone jutsu. because of that I gained every single crew members knowledge of Fishman Karate. This is a form of Taijutsu by the Database so every technique I have copied is placed under the Taijutsu Tab. Using a Water Release Jutsu I produced a wall of water which I then took a stance according to the new knowledge in my mind. I sent the wall of water plunging towards Arlong. The wall of water ploughed over the Fishman and knocked the sword out of his hands. I quickly rushed to the sword and placed it in my Item Box. Now that Arlong is without his weapon I switched to the Byakugan and used the Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight palms. Each of the one hundred and twenty-eight blows targeted one of Arlong¡¯s Tenketsu. He was quickly rendered unconscious. My mothers came rushing over making sure I am fine to which I gladly showed I didn''t even suffer a scratch. Arlong was taken away by the village guards and me and my Mothers went home through the crowd of cheering people. Later that evening I sneaked into the Jail that was holding Arlong. I quickly used Body Snatcher and copied his knowledge on Fishman Karate to add to the others. Because this is a new system of Knowledge it opened a new Tab in my Database where all its techniques were listed. After finishing I had learned all I could from Arlong. I even found out that he had stolen Samehada from the Village hidden in the mist which is located within the Grand Line. I went somewhere secluded as I wanted to attempt something. I took out Samehada from my Item Box. It seems placing a sentient Item in my Item Box has caused it to level up giving it the ability to clone an Item I place within. As such even though I had taken out the original Samehada there was a clone of it left within my Item Box. I then attempted to use Body Snatcher on Samehada as it is Sentient and to my surprise it worked. I used Auto Copy and retuned to my body as soon as it was done. I quickly put the original Samehada back into my Item Box while I decoded its data. Unfortunately I couldn''t make use of it as my body is not compatible. I however took out the copied Samehada only to find it was not Sentient like the original. There was however an easy way to fix that. I downloaded into it a copy of my mind along with all the skills the original Samehada had. As such I had created a Samehada that has my mind just like how I did with Kamui and White Zetsu. I returned home I told Mother I had made her a gift and gave the copied Samehada. She was almost brought to tears. However it seems Silvia was disappointed. "Look Little Rowan I know you have lots of strange skills that you don''t tell us about. But if you are going to make a duplicate of one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen Of The Mists Sword couldn''t you at least make something for me too". I felt like laughing I thought I was in for a lecture about my strange abilities but it just seems she is jealous. I gave it some thought and placed a handful of Belly in my Item Box. As the Belly is the Currency here I began spamming the new item copy function and Silvia was shocked to see a mountain of money suddenly appear within the house. Each note was exactly the same as the original and as there are no serial numbers then they would be accepted without any one knowing any difference. Mother and Silvia¡¯s eyes went wide at the sheer amount of money which if I do say so myself would be enough to match a Yonko''s Bounty. Chapter 25 Chapter Twenty-Five The following day the village was once again in an uproar. It seems Arlong has escaped from his cell. He used his Fishman strength and bent the bars allowing himself to exit. I expected this to happen if I am honest which is why I made certain to gain his knowledge of Fishman Karate while I had the chance. I was always in awe at the character Jinbe¡¯s fighting ability and although Arlong is weaker it give me a good starting place to be able to explore this different form of fighting. I didn''t give the escape of Arlong too much thought as I could sense he was no longer on the island I can only imagine he returned to the sea along with the rest of his slightly battered and bruised crew. Now that I put the Arlong incident behind me I have a desire to head towards the Grand Line to see what the situation is like in the Village Hidden In the Mist. I could sail there or I could travel by Mayfly but I decided it would be a good chance to practice something I have been putting off. With the use of Ki I can fly. At the risk of sounding like a coward however I have a little difficulty with heights so I have put off practising Bukujutsu the Flying Technique. I make my way to the cliff edge outside our house and I focus placing my Ki beneath me. I have all the knowledge required to do this already so it goes off without a hitch. I begin rising into the air and despite my initial panic I manage to calm down. I was already able to use Ki to move quickly along the ground which I did against Kotoro this is merely the natural second step. I''m ashamed it has taken me this long to take it. I moved out above the sea and I began picking up speed. The sea breeze felt incredible as I darted across. Suddenly the serpent every one piece fan knows erupted out of the water. This sea King is the one that bit off the arm of Red Hair Shanks. I couldn''t help but feel such a bad-ass Character losing his arm to such a puny example of a sea king is ridiculous. Then again he was protecting Luffy at the time so I suppose I will give him a pass. The Sea King also known as the Lord Of The Coast opened its gaping mouth and lunged towards me with those jagged teeth bared. Not feeling like playing with such a minor annoyance I simply use a Senjutsu enhanced fist and give it a slight punch. As such it scampers off making a whining noise to which I yell "you pathetic excuse for a sea king could you be any more of a wimp!" I continue flying across the entire East Blue I pass many a pirate and marine ship but none that really give me much reason to stop. That is however until I come across a Marine ship with two people on deck that grab my attention right away. They are two future Marine admirals one known as Sakuzaki and Kuzan or as they will be known in the future Aokiji and Akainu. They are far younger that they were in the Manga and Anime but then again this is the Era of Gol D Roger. Because of White Zetsu''s ability to gather Intel we learned that it is not yet the great Pirate Era as Gol D Roger is still sailing the seas. Anyway these two Future Admirals are as yet only Captains. Their ships are chasing one Pirate ship. I don''t recognise the flag of the ship but if they have two captains chasing after them they must have done something. Using all of my sensory abilities and my Byakugan I can see even from this distance that the Pirates are in a spot of bother. From one side Kuzan has frozen the waters stopping their ship and from the other Sakuzaki is bombarding them with huge meteors of magma.A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. However the Pirates are surprisingly still fighting back. What shocks me the most however is the fact I realise the Captain of these Pirates is using Ninjutsu. He sends a Fire Release towards the ice hoping to melt it while at the same time Summoning a wall of water to try and reflect the meteoroids of magma. It seems these pirates have at least two more ninjas as I spot them running across the water towards Sakuzaki¡¯s ship and across the ice to Kuzan¡¯s. They then takes out a scroll each and summons thousands of Explosive Tags that stick to the ship before detonating. It seems Kuzan managed to coat the ship in ice in time to defend against the attack but Sakuzaki''s ship wasn''t so lucky. In the chaos created by the explosions the pirate ship has quickly made an escape. After the battle Kuzan''s ship rescues the crew of Sakuzaki''s now sinking ship. I follow them for a while from the sky as I look upon them like I have just been served a delicious meal. I couldn''t help but wonder what would happen if I used Body Snatcher on Two Devil Fruit users. As Devil Fruits are the source of their ability to control Magma and Ice respectively I wanted to attempt to try my luck if only a little. A Marine Crew is incredibly orderly. As such with just a while of spying using my Byakugan and sensor abilities I memorised their schedule after just a few hours. It really did hammer it home how being unpredictable as a ninja is a superior Modus Operandi. The two Captains took it in turns to rest so as such I would have my chance to attempt Body Snatching one of them sooner than I thought. The first Captain to head back to his cabin was Kuzan. I waited until he was in a deep sleep. I had gotten so good at using my Byakugan I could even tell if my target was in Rem Sleep as I could see their eyes moving. I activated the trusty Mangekyo Sharingan and Teleport into the cabin where I quickly used Body Snatcher. Being inside this body felt incredibly strange. This must be what it feels like to be what its like to become a Logia type Devil Fruit user. This type of Devil Fruit user can become create and control the element of the Devil Fruit they eat. In Kuzan''s case that would be Ice. I quickly select the Auto Copy but there is an Message that says "Warning unusual Element Detected Auto Copy requires a New Tab to be Created Do you agree Y/N" I quickly click Yes and the auto copy begins as usual if maybe a little slower. It has been a long time since I have had to look at he timer wondering if I will make it in time. I barely finish the Auto Copy with around fifteen seconds remaining on my timer. I then return to my body and Teleport out of the ship to a safe distance. When I am backing up the data I am once again given a similar message "Warning unusual Element Detected External Server requires a New Tab to be Created Do you agree Y/N" I once again click yes and Kuzan''s data is backed up. I spend the time until Kuzan and Sakuzaki switch command decoding the data I gained from Kuzan. I was incredibly happy to find that I now had access to Armament Haki to go along with the Observation Haki I gained from Madara. Luckily for me according to Kuzan¡¯s current memories neither him nor Sakuzaki are very practised at Observation Haki at this point in time. When they switch over I repeat the exact same and Teleport out to safety yet again where I back up Sakuzaki''s Data. I am sadly warned however by the External Storage that I may only have access to one Devil Fruits abilities at a time. The only upside is that I can switch between the ones I have collected using a new function that appears within the top right corner of my vision. It is almost like a heads up display showing a small square with the picture of a strange fruit with spiral markings on it. The image has written what the Fruit Selected is along with an option to switch Devil Fruit. I switch between the two Fruits at first my body becomes Ice and with the next Devil Fruit It becomes Magma. I also have the option to select none. This option indeed comes in handy as Devil Fruit users are unable to swim due to a curse from gaining those powers. While I am not entirely sure the curse applies to me if I select none it most certainly shouldn''t. Besides who has ever heard of a ninja that can''t swim. Chapter 26 Chapter Twenty-Six It has been a while since I have checked my status so while I got the chance I gave it a quick look. Name: Rowan Clan: Senju Race: Human/Saiyan Age: NINE YEARS Chakra Nature: Water Release, Earth Release ,Lightning Release ,Fire Release ,Wind Release ,Yin Release ,Yang Release Kekkei Genkai: WOOD RELEASE, MAGNET RELEASE Kekkei Tota: DUST RELEASE DOJUTSU: BYAKUGAN, SHARINGAN, MANGEKYO SHARINGAN (X7), ETERNAL MANGEKYO SHARINGAN, RINNEGAN, UNKNOWN MUTATED DOJUTSU Unique ability: Body Snatcher(level 4), Appraisal(level 2), Item box(level 2) CHAKRA LEVEL: ???? KI BATTLE POWER: 10,000 HAKI: OBSERVATION, ARMAMENT DEVIL FRUIT: ICE ICE FRUIT, MAGMA MAGMA FRUIT It would seem my appraisal skill had levelled up too which now allows me to see more information than before. Who would have thought it would not be able to tell me exactly how much Chakra I have access to at its current level. I am however glad that it has separated Dojutsu''s into their own section otherwise my Kekkei Genkai section would look like a real mess. Also way to go me nine years old and twice as high a power level than adult Nappa. I was flying across the East Blue while checking my status with appraisal. In the distance I can see the place known as Loguetown. I head towards there at full speed. I am flying just above the sea''s surface the aura of my Ki is causing the sea to spray underneath me causing quite a beautiful Rainbow effect where the water droplets refract the light of the sun.If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it. I quickly land as soon as I arrive at Loguetown. I enjoy a peaceful walk and enjoy the sights. I even take my time when I arrive at the execution platform. I do this because it is o be the place where Gol D Roger is executed after he kicks of what becomes known as the Great Pirate Era. As I am lost in thought however my sensory abilities lock on to some people who seem to be far stronger than the average person around here. I quickly take note of their location and stealthily head towards them using Mayfly. I am amused to find out that they are the previous generation of CP-9. also known as Cipher Pol 9. They are the World Governments secret Assassination Squad. All members of this group are here because they have all mastered the Rokushiki or Six Powers Martial Arts. They seem to be here on some kind of mission which can only mean that there is someone here he World Government wants dead. The World Government are currently trying to gain complete control of this world. However unlike in the One Piece world they have to contend with entities such as the Ninja Villages and the counties they belong to. As such they are not quite as all powerful as they would appear to be in the works of One Piece. They however are still not to be taken lightly and if they want someone dead then nine times out of ten that person dies. I follow the members of CP-9 and discover their target is a Former Marine turned Pirate. Listening to them discussing the target it seems he was once a former high ranking Marine who had a change of heart during a mission where his orders included killing a small child so as not to leave any witnesses. This Marine disobeyed that order and took the small child away and hid them away somewhere on another island. When it became known he disobeyed his orders he became a target of the World Government and turned to piracy. It seems the whole Cipher Poll 9 is here to deal with the Pirate and his crew showing just how important a target the World Government think this Pirate is. I follow secretly and wait as the CP-9 to the docks where a large pirate ship is being filled with cargo. The member of CP-9 wait until the Captain is present and they then stage an ambush on the Pirates. I have no intention of intervening on the Pirates behalf but I do however want to attempt to take the CP-9''s techniques for myself. I wait until the surroundings are as chaotic as possible and use that to my advantage. I create a Shadow Clone who then uses the Transformation Jutsu to look just like the current leader of CP-9. He became a tall muscular man in a black suit with a top hat and tails. He has a fancy pocket watch attached to a chain and is wearing small round sunglasses. I take my chance and after the leader has let his guard down thinking he is invincible against these lowly Pirates I rush in and use a Genjutsu on him causing him to do as I command for the time being. My transformed Shadow clone mixes in with the chaos so as not to arouse suspicion by the leaders sudden disappearance. Now that I have the CP-9 leader away from everyone else I use Body Snatcher and quickly select Auto Copy. Once that is done I return to my body where I backup his data and return him to the battle where my clone has been masquerading as him. The Genjutsu should keep him from remembering he was taken captive. The moment I see he has returned to the Battle I undo the Shadow Clone Jutsu. The clones experience returns to me and I see just how one sidedly the CP-9 have been handling the Pirates. I make my way to an Inn where I stay for the evening. Once peaceful relaxing in my room I decode the CP-9 leaders data and all of the Rokushiki are added to my Database under the Taijutsu tab. Chapter 27 Chapter Twenty-Seven I have left Loguetown several hours ago and have now entered The Grand Line. On my wrist is a New World Log Pose which cost me an arm and a leg. I would have been unhappy but as I can spam creating money using my Item Box it really didn''t feel like that much of a burden to bare. As the New world Log Pose is like a wrist watch with three compass needles in that point to three separate islands of the Grand Line I am able to follow their direction to make my way to the exact island I want. I am heading towards the Village Hidden in the Mist or Kiri. Unlike most places on the first part of the Grand Line Kiri requires the usage of a New world Log Pose instead of the standard single needle Log Pose most people use on the first part. It is for this reason I had to purchase the New World version. Sure I can travel directly there using Mayfly but I would miss out on the chance to gain new techniques if I was to do that. I have already gained enough to classify my decision as worth while so just imagine what else I may gain along the way. I fly while following the needles on the Log Pose and decide to make my way to an Island which has the strongest reaction from one of the Log Pose needles indicating that it is the closest of the three possible islands. As soon as I fly above the island I recognise it as Cactus Island and the setting of the Whisky Peak Arc of one piece. This island in the story is home to Baroque Works the bounty hunting organisation created by the villain Crocodile. As yet however there is only a small settlement here as it is a long time before the founding of that organisation. Without this I feared this island would hold no purpose for my visit but I could sense several people on the mostly deserted island so I chose to see if it was anyone of importance. I was amazed to find the place where people are is the future site of Whisky Peak. The few people seem to be surveying the area and they are led by none other than a young Crocodile. It is a long time before Crocodile becomes the heartless calculating villain he is destined to be. He seems to be leading some members of his crew with much of the same excitement you would see from Luffy.The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement. The reason they are surveying the island however becomes apparent is because they are looking to have a low profile as there is too much heat on them from the Marines and World Government at the moment. I listen in to their conversation and it seems recently the young Crocodile has been running a mock along the first part of the grand line and a barricade of Marines are stopping their entry into the New world. As such they have retraced their steps along the first part of the Grand Line also known as Paradise in order to escape the Marines attention. This deserted Island seems to be the perfect place for them to hide as this island offers no incentives for any one to come here normally. I smile at my good fortune as I eye up Crocodile and decide to make his Sand Sand Devil Fruit powers my own. I stalk my prey until they make their way back to their Pirate ship. The ship has a cartoon looking crocodile as the figurehead just like how the Going Merry has a sheep or the Thousand Sunny has a lion. I believe this indicates just how light hearted this eras Crocodile is compared to his future self. It seems there Crocodile has yet to set his heart on becoming the Pirate King however like his future self did before his dreams were crushed. I think it is mostly because this is still the Era of Gol D Roger. the Crocodile of right now simply wishes for freedom much like Luffy does believing that being a Pirate offers you the most free lifestyle. I do my usual and wait until night when Crocodile and his crew fall asleep and using Byakugan and the Mangekyo Sharingan in my left eye teleport directly into Crocodiles quarters. The sleeping Crocodile has a stupidly happy smile on his face as he snores away peacefully. I manage to use Body Snatcher without any issue and Teleport away while backing up his data. A new Devil fruit icon becomes available in my heads up display. I decide to take a rest until morning so I pull out a House I created with Wood Release from my Item Box. This house is furnished with the most comfortable furniture I could buy with the Belly''s I created using Item Box. I went to the bedroom within and lay on the comfortable king size bed and I quickly fell into a comfortable sleep. I was woken up in the morning as my sensory abilities detected a disturbance. I put away my house and teleport over to where Crocodile and his crew are. It would seem Gol D Roger has been captured by the World Government. I however am aware that he has turned himself in because he is dying of a disease with no known cure. Crocodile and his crew are reading this from a newspaper which is using "The Capture of Gol D Roger" as propaganda to support the Marines and the World Government. There is even a huge section about his upcoming execution at Loguetown. The Marines obviously chose Loguetown because that is the home of Gol D Roger and it is one final F.U to the man¡¯s legacy. It seems Crocodile and his crew plan to attend the execution and begin heading back to Loguetown. I too want to go back to Loguetown not only to witness the start of the Great Pirate Age but to try and gain the Knowledge and sill of the Pirate King. Chapter 28 Chapter Twenty-Eight In a dark and dreary Jail cell laying upon a hard poor excuse for a bed The Pirate King Gol D Roger lay with his eyes closed. I begin moving towards him to when suddenly he speaks "hello there who would have thought I would have gotten a visitor at this time of night". I became shocked that he managed to notice me he is the first one since Madara to ever be able to do so. I decide there isn''t much point hiding so I sprout my head and torso out of the ground. "Hello the Mr Roger or should I call you the Pirate King" I say to the grinning fellow before me. "You can call me what ever you would like. Now what can I do for you this evening?". I was a little bit taken a back as I wanted to use Body Snatcher on him I never expected him to notice me so now I have to come up with something on the fly. "Well you see I happened to have heard that Mr Roger is suffering from an illness that cannot be cured and that you turned yourself in and wasn''t captured, I simply wanted to verify that". Roger began to laugh as his huge barrel like chest rose up and down as he laughed and laughed. "Yep you can say something like that. This Pirate is coming to the end of his journey as they say". He said with not even the slightest hint of sadness. It was almost as though he was happy to have fulfilled his life¡¯s purpose. "Well then Mr Roger as you managed to tame the very seas what if I gave you the chance for a new adventure" Just the word adventure was enough to pique his interest. I summoned White Zetsu who arrived in mere moments. It seems since he awakened an ability similar to mine we can communicate to each other through it in a text based system. Because of this we no longer have to wait to hear from the other. Roger was confused by the strange appearance of the odd humanoid that appeared before us. I told White Zetsu to produce a clone that is lacking any sentience thought and he quickly did so. I then looked at Roger and said "now how would you feel if I placed a copy of your mind within this body and made it look like you. Then after you pass away your mind will be off an another adventure". Roger gave it some thought for a while and then said "I don''t really care about dying but I would certainly like to travel to places I haven''t before. I hear there are lands where people use magic and others where people battle each other with cards with pictures of monsters on them. My life has been about exploring the seas but I do think it would be fun exploring each of these new lands".Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings. He then nodded and gave me the okay so I used Body Snatcher on the Pirate King. I was given a warning message the moment I selected Auto Copy "Warning this Body is too damaged to copy completely. Select from highlighted areas you wish to Copy" I saw an image of a humanoid figure with around 95% shaded in grey indicating just how ill Roger is. I''m surprised he can even smile yet alone survive how riddled with illness he is. I select a few parts of his body his brain and a few uncorrupted cells and the Auto Copy begins. As it doesn''t have much work to do it is handled in pretty quick time. I then return to my body. As Roger realises he had lost control of his body for a while he stares at me confused. "Don''t worry was just making a copy of your brain" I say as I back up the data. It seems that the situation with Auto Copy giving me access to a new feature has also unlocked a new feature within the Database. I was now able to modify more of the backed up data than I was before as such the uncorrupted cells of Roger I could make younger or older at will. "Hey there Mr Roger how would you like your new body to be like it was in your youth?" Rogers eyes opened wide "you can do that?" I nodded while it was now my turn to smile. "Just tell me the age and I will set your new body to match. I should warn you that you won''t be as powerful as you was and to regain any strength you lose will be a tough process for you to embark on" I gave him a little warning too just in-case he was unhappy with how weakened he becomes in his new body. "Then I would say around thirteen is the ideal age. it was around then I began training in this life so lets just call it a do over. I made the cells younger and downloaded them along with the backup of Rogers brain into the White Zetsu clone. I disable most of the White Zetsu features making it remain in the form it is going to change into. I also had to set it to age as it turns out I could even control that aspect of the clone. I figured Roger wouldn''t want to be stuck as an unageing child but as a favour I set it''s age rate to half speed. Sure being a child may last a bit longer but he will remain in his prime for that much longer too. The clone began to morph and shrink until a small child with messy black hair that covers most of his face appeared before us. From under the hair you can tell two curious eyes are looking around. It then starts examining its body. As he is physically around thirteen he is taller than me and has a better build too. I won''t lie I am slightly jealous. Seeing that he was naked though I had White Zetsu quickly go and get some clothes that the Marine recruits wear. While he was gone Gol D Roger began talking to his clone and made sure it was his exact mind within the small body. As far as the clone is concerned he allowed me to use my ability on him then woke up in a younger body. The two laughed thinking about how Roger''s adventures will continue. White Zetsu returned with a small Marines uniform which the child Roger put on. We all said out goodbyes to the adult Roger and I teleport Myself and the young Roger to the borders between The Land of Rain and The Land Of Fire. I give the young Roger a bag filled with the currency of this part of the world along with a map that I had so as he will be able to find his way around. He looked incredibly excited but I warned him to be careful. The ninja''s are currently at war against each other. I then teleport back to Loguetown where I waste some time until the day of adult Rogers execution. I was present to witness the start of The Great Pirate Era which I thought was incredibly exciting. And as for young Roger it wouldn''t be until much later where I learn he was taken in by Yahiko, Konnan, and Nagato and trained with the three in Ninjutsu under the tutelage of Jiraiya. Chapter 29 Chapter Twenty-Nine Unfortunately I didn''t manage to gain many abilities from Roger. His body to was ravaged by illness to be able to be copied but I did manage to gain his knowledge of Conquerors Haki and the mysterious ability The Voice of All Things. Sadly for the latter there is an activation method that I am not yet capable of whatever that is according to the Database. Having sorted through the decoded data I returned on my journey across The Grand Line. After returning to the Grand line I quickly made my way to the outskirts of the Village Hidden in the Mist''s territory. Unfortunately I didn''t come into contact with anyone whose abilities piqued my interest along the way. The Village Hidden in the Mist or Kiri is one of the more mysterious Ninja Villages. That especially holds true in this era. Unlike most Ninja villages however it seems to be operated on a strict caste system. the population is divided into three tiers. The highest class is made up of those families whose origins are tied with the origin of the village. The second class is made up of those who were allies with the village upon the battlefield and the last and lowest class of people are those whose families and lands were annexed after being defeated only to be used as disposable tools. These people are given the most dangerous missions in order to keep them weak enough in numbers and too busy to revolt. As such the Village Hidden In The Mist is spreading outs its reach across the Grand Line. The constant fighting between the Mist and the World Government for control of these areas has led to a lot of bloodshed. Because of the gruesome nature of the fighting the people with Kekkei Genkai''s and those with Devil Fruit powers became persecuted within the area around Kiri. In this area which is this worlds version of the Land of Water those prejudices run deeply. It isn''t boding well for the Mist Village at the moment either as the Second Mizukage has recently passed away fighting the Second Tsuchikage. Now with the village in a transferral period the World Government are using this as an excuse to push forward against the Mist. Because of how unstable this area is gaining entrance to the Hidden Mist is far more difficult than most countries. Possibly only the Hidden Rain would be a match in terms of strict security. I used the Mayfly technique to bypass all their security making my way inside. I quickly gained clothing that matches the local region and using the Item Box''s quick change ability I was ready to move about in the open. Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.I deactivated Sage Mode for the first time in a long time as the markings would give me away as a sage. I walked through the village and see how certain things are different here. The caste system for example has produced many weary looking people. While gathering as much information on the region as I can I heard a name of a clan that struck my interest. They are none other than the Kaguya clan. As I remember the Kaguya clan are descendants of Kaguya Otsutsuki. The Mother of the Sage Of The Six Paths and also the progenitor of Chakra within this world. It seems this clan has been growing restless as of late and the Third Mizukage spends most of his time keeping them under wraps. It wont be until the Fourth Mizukage''s reign where he will dispose of them completely. I decide to head towards the Kaguya clan to investigate as some of their members are known to have a rare Kekkei Genkai which allows them to manipulate their bones. This Kekkei Genkai is known as Shikotsumyaki. I decided I really want this Kekkei Genkai as since I gained the dense skeleton frame of the Saiyan clan can you imagine how much more powerful this Kekkei Genkai will be in my hands. I stealthily head to the Kaguya clan which is kept quite far away from Kiri. This is no doubt in order to be able to deal with the Kaguya Clan should they decide to rise up. I examine all the people of the clan but decide to limit my search to those with White Hair. As their descendant Kaguya Otsutsuki and the person who their bone manipulation Kekkei Genkai derived from had whit hair, I thought it was more likely those with white hair would most likely possess the Kekkei Genkai. I found one woman who had the white hair I was looking for pretty quickly. I used Appraisal on her from a distance and luckily she did possess the Shikotsumyaki Kekkei Genkai. I quickly rushed her and used Body Snatcher. After I had gained control of her body I used Auto Copy and returned to my own body. I then cast a Genjutsu on her forcing her to forget before I merged with the ground in order to backup the data. Luckily my hunch that those with white hair held the Kekkei Genkai was correct. I also found out the woman was in the early stages of pregnancy from the data but that is neither here nor there. Lets pretend I wasn''t technically pregnant for that time I was in control of her body. I decoded the data and scrolled through the database until I came to Shikotsumyaki. As I began to experiment with the Kekkei Genkai I felt a strange burning sensation within my eyes. Suddenly my Byakugan forcefully activated. I felt wave after wave of indescribable pain. In one moment of respite from the pain I used the Flying Thunder God technique to teleport back home to my Mothers house in Foosha Village. As soon as I arrived the pain came back stronger than ever. I screamed as I collapsed and then everything went dark. Chapter 30 Chapter Thirty I awoke to find myself in bed with a cold cloth over my eyes. The pain I felt is still coming and going in waves. I hear a door open then the familiar voice of Silvia "hey there Rowan glad you''re awake. I don''t know what is going on but I used my Sharingan and saw a large amount of Chakra pooling around your Byakugan¡¯s" I listen then tell her that they activated on their own and began pulsating and before long the pain got so bad I couldn''t handle it any-more". I was a little disappointed in myself for losing to the pain but if my hunch is correct then they are evolving since taking in some Otsutsuki DNA no matter how diluted it may have become in the Kaguya clan. I lay in bed over the next few days and both Mothers caring for me as my eyes began to settle down. Once I was healthy and my eyes finally settled down I removed the cloth that has been over my eyes to see that my Byakugan had evolved into the Tenseigan. This is the Dojutsu that Hamura Otsutsuki awoken after he and his brother sealed away Kaguya who was running wild as the Ten Tails. As soon as both Mothers saw my eyes they were enchanted. Silvia even said "Beautiful" under her breath. The blue pupils and iris which contains a white floral pattern has obviously made a good impression on them. As I have seen these eyes in The Last: Naruto the Movie they were awakened by Toneri Otsutsuki. He was the last descendant of Hamura Otsutsuki who had implanted Hanabi Hyuga¡¯s Byakugan into his eyes which reacted to his Otsutsuki DNA and evolved into the Tenseigan. These eyes hold many powers of a similar nature to their brother the Rinnegan. there are also a few unique powers like the Tenseigan Chakra Mode. This form provides you with enhanced speed strengthened durability. Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.I could however tell that these eyes are incredibly demanding of Chakra unlike the Rinnegan which seems to use barely any Chakra to keep active. In the movie after Toneri was defeated and his Chakra ran out the eyes reverted back into being Regular Byakugan. Before my Chakra levels reach a dangerous state I switched my eyes to the regular Byakugan using the Body Snatcher Database. As the drain on my Chakra was gone I felt relieved. My Mothers asked me about my eyes to which I told a few white lies as usual. I told them "I have been investigating the Sage Of Six Paths and found that he had a Brother". When I see they were with me up until there I told them "The Sage''s descendent¡¯s went on to be the Uchiha and the Sages Brother went on to be the Hyuga". Silvia seemed to take this the most seriously Obviously as she is an Uchiha. "You see the Sage had a Sharingan which evolved to become known as the Rinnegan. The Brother however had a Byakugan that evolved to become the Tenseigan. This is what I found out written on a tablet which crumble to dust before my eyes began to go out of control". Just as I was feeling proud for being able to come up with a reasonable explanation yet again Silvia asked "then how come you also possess the Sharingan and the Mangekyo Sharingan". After doing a little mental gymnastics and realising I had explained myself into a corner with my previous answer about how I awoke the Sharingan instead of the Byakugan. I decided to come at least partially clean "You see I discovered I have the ability to copy the Kekkei Genkai''s, I''m not sure when Mom but I think I used that ability on you when I was a baby. That''s the only way I can explain why I have the Sharingan and the Byakugan" the time after I said that and the time before anyone else seems to stretch on for an eternity. I am so worried that it will push Silvia away. Silvia thinks about it for a while and says "so you did get something from your Mom then, that''s just further proof your my son". Chapter 31 Chapter Thirty-One After a few days rest which my Mothers demanded I take after having such a rough time with the Tenseigan I continued my journey. This time I went right to Kiri using the Mayfly technique. I walked around the Village as I did before the disparity between the castes is tough to watch. There were many children of the lower class orphaned because their parents were killed doing dangerous missions which nine times out of ten was obviously above their skill level. I happened to find one such orphan mere moments away from death huddled up in a gutter wearing nothing but rags. Her body was covered in filth and what¡¯s more there wasn''t an ounce of meat on her. If I was to say she was nothing but bone it would do a disservice to bones. I wondered how the hell she survived this long. What makes it worse is the indifference every one around has towards this sight. I walked over to the girl I can see she is barely breathing so I crouch down and check her pulse. It is so weak that I''m afraid it will stop any moment. I lift her up and feel she has about as much weight as a sponge. I swallow the anger I feel and take her away. The people who see this look at me with contempt but I just can''t stand by and watch like they do. I take her to an old abandoned house and lay her on the dirty furniture where I use Medical Ninjutsu for the first time in a long time. I make sure she is stable and begin preparing an easily digestible meal for when she wakes up. I used Body Snatcher to get a better idea of her situation. Once inside her body I was racked by pain that felt as though every single muscle fibre was pulling itself apart. Once again the anger I felt for this village was once again reaching new heights. When I returned to my body I found that she has two Kekkei Genkai. it is no wonder the people here treated her so badly" close to an hour after I treated her she opens her eyes for the first time. She sees she is in an unfamiliar location but is too weak to react. "Hi glad you''re awake now" I say with the friendliest attitude I could muster. She looks at me with those half dead green eyes and tries to speak. She begins coughing and sputtering at the mere attempt. I bring her over a small cup of water and help her hold it. Her thin little hands shaking as she grasps the cup. She brings it to her mouth and takes a timid little sip. I hear a tiny little swallowing noise as she finishes drinking. A tiny drop of water drips from the corner of her mouth down her chin. This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.Seeing she had managed that okay I bring her over a small portion of rice porridge. She looks at the food then back at me. I can almost guess what she is thinking just looking at her reaction so I nod and hand her the spoon as she slowly starts eating. After a few moments her timid nature seems to dissipate and she begins piling bigger and bigger spoonfuls in her mouth at astounding speed. I was a bit concerned she would get the hiccups or something but couldn''t bring myself to say anything. She finishes eating and suddenly her eyes fill up with tears. She begins sobbing big ugly tears that mix with the snot dripping from her nose and she cries uncontrollably for a short while. I could do nothing but try to comfort her so I placed my arms around her small weak little body and support her as she sobbed it out to her hearts content. After she calmed down I introduced myself "I''m glad you''re feeling a little better. Hi I''m Rowan Senju". She said in a small voice not even louder than a church mouse "I''m Akarui Terumi". Terumi huh I thought. Its no wonder she has two Kekkei Genkai then. In the Anime and Manga of Naruto the future Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi also had the same two Kekkei Genkai. They must be related in some way. To be honest I am even amazed that woman even became the Mizukage given this countries feelings about Kekkei Genkai. Akarui and I stay in the abandoned house for a few weeks with me taking care of her until she regains some of her strength. In this time she has grown fond of me, and refers to me as her big brother and won''t sleep unless I''m around. Any time I have to leave to get supplies she suffers with such crippling feelings of fear and dread that I worry for her well-being. Luckily I have the Shadow Clone Jutsu so I can be in more than one place at once. Our life like this together went on peacefully until one day my Shadow Clone cancelled the Jutsu alerting me that a large squadron of mist Ninjas are heading towards us. It seems somebody alerted those in charge that a street girl with a Kekkei Genkai was being cared for by a stranger. Its my own fault because no matter how careful I have been since I did make quite the show when rescuing her. Akarui could tell that something was up from my atmosphere "what''s wrong big brother?" "Some bad people are coming to take me away from you". The moment I said this I put on the best big brother smile I could and said "don''t worry I won''t let that happen, just stay hidden in here until I come back". I left a Wood Clone standing by to protect he just in-case as they are more durable than a Shadow Clone. I quickly entered Sage Mode I was overflowing with Senjutsu Chakra as I haven''t used it in a while. I stepped outside the abandoned house we were staying in switched to my crow mask and cloak and met the mist Ninjas head on. Chapter 32 Chapter Thirty-Two As I was in sage mode I could tell that every Ninja heading my way was at least Jonin Class. There were seven however that stood above even them, I moved with such speed that most of the enemies didn''t see what hit them. Only the seven who I noted to be superior did. As I could see them clearly I could tell they were the Seven Swordsmen Of The Mist. They began acting right away, they summoned a thick mist to block my vision. Unfortunately for them I am the worst enemy to attempt that strategy with. I had a multitude of ways of finding them from Sage Modes sensory abilities or my Byakugan even the Yamanaka clans abilities would even shine here. As such I took out my duplicate Samehada and began tearing this generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen limb from limb. I would simply sneak up on my opponents. there was not even a single step made as I was hovering above the floor using Ki. Not one single swordsmen could react to me before I knocked them unconscious and took their swords. I used seven Shadow Clones which each used Body Snatcher. The Database was quickly filled up with every technique that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen knew. It was while I was lost in my own pride that I realised something was wrong. With all the Seven Ninja Swordsmen Of The Mist knocked out shouldn''t this mist have disappeared. I got an incredibly bad feeling and rushed back to the abandoned building where I found my Wood clone battling two people at the same time. I could also sense the presence of somebody trying to hide. This person is no doubt the cause of the Hiding in Mist Jutsu. Of the two people fighting my wood clone one was the current Jinchuriki''s of the Three Tails Isobu and the other was the Six Tails Saiken''s Jinchuriki. The fact my Wood clone has held up this long is truly commendable but he was filled with cracks where he had suffered a multitude of attacks. I hadn''t been in Sage Mode when I summoned him so I am even more impressed by his performance. The two Jinchuriki''s were both using the Version Two Chakra Mode. I began fighting against the two powerhouses. I was being slowly pushed back as I was fighting on the defensive. I was desperate to keep them as far away from the abandoned house as possible. Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.A Jinchuriki in this form has no problem causing craters and explosions that would level a city. What¡¯s more their Chakra has an odd fluidity to it where arms made of Chakra can sprout out of anywhere and attack you. Luckily in Sage Mode I could perceive any threat they sent my way so I managed to dodge any otherwise deadly attack with split seconds remaining. That however doesn''t mean I wasn''t getting royally Pissed off. They both of them attacked simultaneity, the two attacks created a shock-wave that sent me flying through a building on the opposite side of town. I erupted from the rubble my aura of Ki surrounding me as I flew back towards them. Neither Jinchuriki expected such speed but that wasn''t the only surprise I had for them. Under my now cracked crow mask I have activated the Rinnegan and began pulling them towards me with the Deva path. As I got them both lined up next to each other from my other hand I gathered as much Ki as I could It began glowing a golden colour and shot out in a beam. It pierced the right shoulder of Isobu and the left shoulder of Saiken but I wasn''t finished. A storm of sand began to erupt from my body as I began using Crocodiles Devil Fruit Power. I however have infused this sand with my Senjutsu Chakra making it far more powerful than Crocodile¡¯s. I could even take on The One Tails a tailed beast made of sand while in the desert and I still think I could make it call me daddy. The sand begins to form a seal around the two Jinchuriki holding them still. I arrive right before them and with the Rinnegan I absorbed all of the Chakra that was cloaking their bodies. Soon the two Jinchuriki''s were revealed looking at me in abject terror. I then summoned two Shadow Clones which used the Body snatcher ability on them. The two Shadow clones were both within the seals of the Jinchuriki¡¯s giving them the same speech about the revival of the Ten Tails I gave Isobu and Matatabi. Having seen my powers the two Tailed beasts assume I must be telling the truth and gladly hand over their Chakra. The two shadow clones then cancel the Jutsu returning it all to me. And as one last little F.U to the Jinchuriki''s I use the sand to absorb quite a lot of their bodies moisture making them dry up like raisins before they are knocked out. Chapter 33 Chapter Thirty-Three The Moment the two Jinchuriki''s lost conciousness I was attacked from within the mist by over a hundred thousand needles made of water. I used the Deva Path to repel each and every one of them. With Sage Mode I could tell my attacker was shocked his surprise attack hadn''t worked. He no doubt assumed I would be too caught up in my victory over the Jinchuriki to notice them. I reactivated the Byakugan in my left eye to get a look at them to find they turned out to be none other than the Third Mizukage. He was a tall man with long black hair with small pearl shaped objects encircling his head. He was intelligent to know that he had been discovered so he dissipated the Mist that blocks the view around the area. He came walking directly towards me his body oozing confidence. Suddenly he did something that truly didn''t expect. His entire body began to transform into a large creature that stood almost twenty feet tall. He became a giant black turtle entwined with a snake. I used my Appraisal on him to find that the Third Mizukage is in-fact also a Devil Fruit user. His specific Devil Fruit was of the Zoan type which allows its user the ability to transform into specific creature. In the case of the Mizukage he had an incredibly rare mythical type Zoan fruit known as the Genbu Genbu Fruit. This allowed him to transform into the Mythical Genbu also known as one of the Four Symbols of Chinese mythology. I was incredibly annoyed at the hypocrisy on show by the Mizukage. He is okay with his country persecuting Devil Fruit Users and those with a Kekkei Genkai but he happens to be a Devil Fruit User himself. The now giant Mizukage opened his mouth and shot a large amount of water towards me. The water took the shape of a sphere and began to harden as it turned to ice. I quickly switched the Devil Fruit I control over to the Magma Magma fruit and my body erupted with a giant wave of magma. The wave enveloped the sphere of ice and the wave continued on towards the Third Mizukage. He in turn sent a wave of his own back and the two forces began to clash. My magma was however too hot and was quickly evaporating the wave of water. The Mizukage quickly froze his wave of water which by now had cooled down my magma enough to be able to be defended against The Mizukage however had failed to realise that I had sent a series of Magma meteors hurtling towards him.The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. The Mizukage retreated into his shell. The defensive power of this Mythical Devil Fruit is second to none as such he received no damage at all while he was safely hidden inside his shell. Next I use the Deva Path to send his massive body flying off into the distance crashing through many buildings but yet again the Mizukage exits his shell as though nothing happened and sends a spear of ice flying my way. I manage to dodge as I was unable to use the Deva Path and as it held no Chakra it couldn''t be absorbed using the Preta Path. I had to use my copper Sand to change the trajectory of the large ice spear as it was heading dangerously close towards the abandoned house Akarui was hiding in. Over the next several hours our battle continued I escalate using almost every attack I had available to me but no matter what attack I tried the Mizukage remained undamaged when ever he retreated into his shell. Even Dust Release did nothing but leave a tiny scorch mark. The Mizukage was so confident in his defence that he would willingly take any attack I was throwing at him. It was obvious he was hoping to break my spirit seeing every single card I had to throw at him failing to even cause the slightest of scratches. At this moment a giant Sage Mode enhanced Wooden Golem is using every ounce of its strength smashing against the shell but even this is causing no damage. What the Mizukage doesn''t realise however is that he has now played directly into my hands. on one such moment when the Mizukage was within his shell I switched with a sage mode enhance Wood Clone. The clone kept the Mizukage busy enough for me to circle around ready to launch a surprise. When I finally put the plan into action predictably the Mizukage retreated into his shell again however this time I used Armament Haki, Senjutsu, and Ki combined. I have spent the course of this battle balancing these three energies and it has taken me several hours to get the ratio right. If I was against any other opponent it would have been impossible to gain the hours I needed to form this power. My arm has gone an ominous black colour as the three energies formed so much power that even my Senjutsu enhanced body was struggling to not tear itself apart under the strain. I jump high into the air and come hurtling down and my fist smashes into the Mizukage''s shell. I use the Gentle Fist technique to push the entirety of this energy into the Mizukage. It however proved to be so powerful it not only spread through the Mizukage''s body but the entire ground beneath him. Purple black sparks of lightening erupt as it creates a shock wave that spreads across the Village Hidden In The Mist. It didn''t destroy any buildings it did however knock each and every single person unconscious within the village even to the furthest outskirts. The Mizukage''s shell begins to crack and blood begins to erupt like a volcano. There is a huge crater formed underneath the huge turtle like form of the Mizukage as a spider-web of cracks begin to spread out. When the Mizukage stops sinking into the ground from within these crack the ground begins to shake. All the power I released has created an earthquake. Suddenly the spider-webs of crack begin splitting apart. Huge crevices begin to form going off into four directions and the Village Hidden in the Mist has been divided into quarters. I stood dumbfounded I was glad I used the gentle fist technique as I dread to think what would have happened if I used the Strong Fist style of my Mother instead. I walked over to the huge crater and within I could see the now unconscious Mizukage. I didn''t let this option go to waste I quickly used the Body Snatcher skill and Copied all of his data and backed it up to the External Server. As I felt a little guilty for creating so much destruction I took out all the Seven Ninja Swords of the Mist and left them laying before the unconscious Mizukage. Lets pretend it doesn''t matter that I have already cloned the swords using my Item Box so I have no need for the originals. I then Picked up Akarui who had also been knocked out by the shock wave and teleport back to Foosha Village with her. Chapter 34 Chapter Thirty-four My Mothers were shocked to see me return with a small unconscious child but after I explained the situation within the Village Hidden In the Mist their expressions soon became one of anger. We allowed the Akarui to rest in one of the spare rooms of the house. My mothers thought that Akarui was half my age but where shocked when I told them she was only a year younger than me. Her poor diet and lifestyle had stunted her growth and as such she appeared far smaller than she should be. Their anger towards the Village Hidden In The Mist became even more pronounced after hearing that. "Putting such a small child through such a torturous existence, I thought things were bad in the Leaf Village but in comparison it seemed like paradise" Silvia was close to tears as she thought of all the hardships Akarui must have gone through just to survive to this point. It seems the child is also unable to control her Chakra, obviously nobody wanted to teach a child with a Kekkei Genkai in that God forsaken Village. It seems the protective urges of my Mothers were stimulated but the plight of the young girl. As we were talking I noticed that Akarui had awoken so I quickly made my way to her room so that she wouldn''t be scared by the unfamiliar environment. She was relieved to see me and held my hand as I took her to meet my Mothers who both took a liking to the timid little girl. Silvia was constantly hugging the small scared child while Mother was plying her with sweets every chance they got. "Such a good child" Mother said with a gentle smile upon her face. "Rowan always seemed so assertive and rarely needed his Mothers for protection" Silvia said in reply. Over the next year Akarui began calling Mothers both Mom and as such they were pleased to have a Daughter. They began training her how to mould and control her Chakra. Before long myself and my new sister were walking up the trees of the forests of Foosha Village. Akarui was also tasked with hunting some of the dangerous animals that are local to the area as an excuse for her to develop her Kekkei Genkai''s. Her reliance to me has slowly lessened as she has become stronger under the training of our Mothers. I wanted to train her too but both Mothers demanded it is a job that they should do as the parents. I was only allowed to accompany her in her training but wasn''t allowed to actively teach her. It was however quite fun for me going back to basics as I discovered I had become too reliant upon the Database. The fact that the Databases abilities use less Chakra than if I were to use them myself has made my own Chakra control lessen as i have gotten older. I was quite annoyed when I came to this realisation. In this time training with my new sister I had gotten my Chakra control to such a high level that I had become able to use a Jutsu not from the database at almost the same Chakra requirement as one from the Database. There are however some thing¡¯s that have happened over this year that are not so praiseworthy. It seems that the commotion I caused in the Mist Village has been labelled the work of the World Government, as such tensions between the Land of Water and the World Government has tipped the Mist into declaring all out War on the World Government. This coupled with the increase in piracy since adult Rogers execution has placed the World Government in a dire position. The Third Mizukage has strategically been using several skirmishes to increase their territory and annex more clans into his forces who he in turn sets upon the World Government. This however doesn''t really bother me as long as my family remain safe. I also check in on the happenings of the Second Shinobi World War from time to time. The leaf is as expected coming out ahead with the might of the Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Tsunade standing above their peers. They have recently been given the name of Legendary Sannin by Hanzo the Salamander the leader of the Village hidden in the Rain. Not long after this fight Jiraiya has taken it upon himself to train four orphans.This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience. I was shocked when White Zetsu told me the number is Four so I quickly teleport to see the situation for myself. It turns out the extra orphan is none other than young Roger who is growing incredibly powerful. I could sense his immense amounts of Chakra without even trying to. I was however saddened to see that the Nagato of this world is still in possession of Madara''s Rinnegan. Myself and White Zetsu were unable to find any trace of Madara so I quickly assumed he found a way out of Izanami and continued his plans. While I was back in the Ninja world for the time being I decided to make my way to the Hidden Sand Village. With a new black crow mask and black robe I entered the Land of Wind. Using the Sand Sand Fruit I copied from Crocodile I was able to traverse the desert like area of the Land of Wind with such speed it rivalled the Mayfly ability. I also began spamming the Item Clone function and increased my stores of copper sand by 100 times its previous amount. I easily infiltrated the Hidden Sand. These Ninja villages are turning into nothing but my own little playground at this point. I could sense a huge amount of Chakra which I stealthily made my way towards. I found it to be emanating from the One Tails Jinchuriki who was meditating. I recognised this man as being Bunpuku from his brief appearance in the anime and Manga. He seemed to have the look of a priest by his clothing and purple looking kimono. He also had a shaved head and dark rings around his eyes which indicates he is the One Tails Jinchuriki. What I found shocking however is that this Jinchuriki has been locked up within a jail cell hidden far away from the regular citizens of Suna. If not for my sensory abilities and Mayfly I would have found it difficult to find this place and make my way inside. Using my knowledge of the One Tails I had to alter my usual Modus Operandi. The One Tails doesn''t allow his Jinchuriki''s to sleep as the moment they do he begins chipping away at their mental strength in hopes of freeing itself. The giant tanuki made of sand is incredibly intelligent and bides his time until he is able to loosen the seal that restrains him. He uses these moments to cause as much destruction as he can within the Sand Village. His current hosts mental strength however is causing him quite a deal of irritation as it has been an incredibly long time since he was last able to loosen the seal imprisoning him. I decided that as I can''t wait till the Jinchuriki is asleep the best course of action is instead to have my hand emerge from the ground where I am currently hiding using the Mayfly technique. I gently make physical contact with Bunpuku. It was so soft that their greatest pickpockets would bleed tears of blood due to envy. Before Bunpuku even noticed anything was untoward I had already switched Bodies. The One Tails who was not behind bars like the other Tailed beasts were in their seals could sense a fluctuation in the seal as I switched bodies, at that moment attempted to break free. He however found that his body which is entirely made up of Sand and Chakra couldn''t move at all. He then noticed my figure before him and began cursing me with abusive language. I was using Crocodiles Sand Sand Fruit to control the sand which makes up the One Tails body and the Rinnegan to absorb the Chakra. I had secretly activated Auto Copy at this exact time too. Seeing the Rinnegan in the eyes of the crow mask The one Tails suddenly stopped resisting. "hello there Shukaku" I said politely from under my mask. The One Tails looked at me with a face filled with suspicion but seeing the eyes of his creator the Sage of The Six Paths made the beast calmer than usual. "My name is Rowan. I have come to warn you of a danger to you and your Tailed Beast family. There is someone who wishes to use you to revive the Ten Tails". As time is of the essence and Shukaku is less trusting than the other Tailed Beasts except for maybe the Nine Tails. I switched to Silvia¡¯s Mangekyo Sharingan and placed the One Tails in a Tsukuyomi like Genjutsu. There I showed it the sights I had seen from the anime of it being chained and dragged into the Demon Statue of Outer Path. I ended the Genjutsu and the prideful tailed beast asked "What can I do to stop this future?" I showed it the Chakra I had gained from the other tailed beasts and using Shukaku¡¯s hatred of the Nine tails I said "all the other Tailed beasts have offered me some Chakra so that i can extract them when the time comes, However the Nine Tails only offered a small amount compared to the others". Shukaku started laughing violently and separated a large portion of his sand and gave it to me. The One Tails shrunk down to half its original size and looked rather pleased with itself. In this sand housed so much Chakra it could be considered it equal to the combined amount of Tailed Beast Chakra I had gained up until this point combined. I thanked Shukaku and as the timer was about to hit zero I made the Jinchuriki''s body fall asleep. Luckily Shukaku knew my reasoning for making his Jinchuriki sleep and chose not to bother Bunpuku for once and allow him to sleep while I make my exit from the jail. I had now backed up all the data I had gained to the database. I next traverse throughout The land of Wind targeting several ninjas whose knowledge and techniques I wanted. The first was Chiyo as a famed Puppeteer and Medical Nin i wanted her knowledge to boost the knowledge I already have. As the Puppet Ninja whose skills I copied before were pretty average in comparison i wanted Chiyo''s knowledge as until the rise of her Grandchild Sasori she is renowned as the greatest Puppet ninja. Then their is her medical skills which are second only to Tsunade but she has a greater knowledge of poisons which she uses with her puppets. I use my trusty wait till they are asleep routine and her abilities and knowledge become mine. It also turned out she has a great knowledge of creating puppets too which will come in handy for me. I suddenly had the idea to create the ultimate puppet but I will put that off until later. As the Sand Village is at war most of my targets this time are spread out based in different encampments in the war-zone. With my travel speed it is pretty easy to cover the distance in moments however. The next target is the Third Kazekage. He is known as the strongest Kazekage in the history of the Sand Village. As Rasa was able to subdue Shukaku in the desert and Gaara was a former Jinchuriki with enormous Chakra reserves that should tell you how incredible the Third Kazekage is. Chapter 35 Chapter Thirty-Five I find the the Third Kazekage is leading the battle against the Hidden Leaf. The desert sand is soaked in blood of hundreds of ninja. The Third Kazekage is like a demon reaping the lives of anyone who dares challenge him. It looks as though there are almost no Jonin left on the Leaf''s side. The only person still managing to hold their own is Sakumo Hatake the man who is to become the Father of Kakashi. He is trying to draw the attention of the Third Kazekage in order to allow his fellow Leaf Ninjas to escape. I watch from a distance when I notice my friend Might Dai dressed in his green jumpsuit surrounded by sand ninja. He suddenly erupts with a green aura while his skin becomes redder and veins begin bulging from his forehead. These are all the tell tale signs he has opened several of the Eight Gates. The Eight Gates are eight specific Tenketsu within the body that limit the flow of Chakra to a safe and manageable limit. By forcing one of the gates open reduces the limit until if all eight are opened the user becomes insanely strong. The downside of this technique however is that it puts humongous strain on the body and opening the Eighth and final gate will result in the death of the user. As such this technique has been labelled as a Kinjutsu or Forbidden Technique. Might Dai begins moving with such incredible speed that the sand ninjas are struggling to keep up. His use of Taijutsu is even more incredible than I remember it being. He jumps high into the air and comes down landing a heel kick to the head of a sand ninja with such force his body shoots beneath the surface of the sand. The other ninjas see this and become concerned but I can tell that Dai is struggling to keep up with the demand placed upon him. If I had to guess he has opened more gates in this moment than he has ever done so in the past. I use my Byakugan and can see the flow of Chakra within him is erratic and causing many internal injuries as he has not prepared his body enough for this strain. The sand ninjas to their credit aren''t retreating which means Dai''s situation will only get worse as it goes on.Stolen novel; please report. The other Leaf ninjas have managed to escape safely thanks to Sakumo Hatake. The only one left behind are Hatake who is being toyed with by the Kazekage and Dai who was encircled by Sand Ninjas. While I no longer consider myself a citizen of the leaf I do however consider Dai to still be my friend as such I stop remaining neutral and go save my friend. Just as Dai is about to collapse I appear before him with his body landing on top of mine. I then teleport near the Konoha medical camp. As his gates close and his Chakra reverts to its usual flow his body begins to spasm and twitch as the muscle are damaged from overexertion. The build up of lactic acid is so much that his body is screaming in pain. Dai however looks at me wearing my crow mask wondering who I am. I quickly take it off and show him a reassuring smile. He is shocked when he realises its me but quickly loses conciousness. I then teleport back to the battlefield as I intend to take advantage of the situation. Just as the Kazekage sends a huge cone of iron sand to skewer Sakumo he becomes distracted by my copper sand which grabs onto his feet from below. Sakumo seeing the distraction took advantage of it and retreated as fast as he could. I then begin pulling the Kazekage below the surface of the sand into a cube shaped area being supported by my Wood Release. All of this happened in less than a second. The Kazekage was unable to break free as my copper sand is more dense than his iron sand. I noticed that he has far finer control over his iron sand during his battle than I do with my copper sand, a prime example of this would be the shapes he manipulated forming sharp stabbing weapons and round shields during his battle with Sakumo Hatake. So I just used the brute force method in capturing him relying on the element of surprise and using so much Senjutsu Chakra enhanced copper sand that it doesn''t give him the chance to put his fine control to use. As soon as the Kazekage appeared within the cube shaped space I activated Body Snatcher. I was amazed how much Chakra the Kazekage had within his body even after having a battle against the Leaf Village. I was just about to start the Auto Copy procedure when I noticed another new option. My Body Snatcher must have levelled up again. This option gives me the ability to leave a a small command within the brain of those whose body I have taken over. It would seem that this command must be followed under all circumstances. I really could cause a few nasty little problems for people if I put this to use. I however didn''t have time to experiment with that as the timer was still ticking down so I began the Auto Copy and returned to my body. I used teleport to exit the cube below the ground before the Kazekage escaped and I backed up his data. I was incredibly happy as I had now managed to completely copy the data on every current Kage of this era. After I had completed my objective I return to Foosha Village for a while and relax with my family. I also needed some time to train and familiarise myself with these new abilities, as although I know how they work there is a difference between my body and those who I copied the techniques from so there is always a small adjustment period when gaining new abilities. Chapter 36 Chapter Thirty-Six I have recently been putting some thought into continuing my journey. There is a place I am really wanting to go and that place is Skypiea the land above the clouds. I say my goodbyes to my family the following day and use my Ki to fly as high as I can. Luckily for me I don''t require the use of the Knock up stream to make my way here. Above the clouds, which stretched on for as far as the eye can see like an endless white see I found myself stranded in an area with nothing around at all. I know the chances of flying straight to an inhabited area straight from the ground is pretty poor but I can''t help but feel a little disappointed. Luckily however I felt the presence in the distance and flew directly towards it. I was surprised to see a single person seated upon a small boat which strongly resembles a coffin. The centre mast looks a lot like a crucifix. The owner of this boat is a very young teenage looking Dracule Mihawk. The man who will be known as the worlds greatest swordsman takes out his sword and sends a flying shock-wave incredibly suddenly taking me by surprise. I quickly react and take the Executioner''s Blade one of the Seven Ninja Sword copies the one most famously used by Zabuza Momochi from my item box and I gladly received his attack deflecting his attack. Mihawk red eyes have a slicker of amazement. He stands up from his seat and runs his hand through his black hair. "So you have some skill" he says to me from a distance. To which I chuckle I place the incredibly large blade on my shoulder and I head towards him. "Nice to meet you, I''m Rowan" I said with a cheerful expression. I was always a huge fan of Mihawk so getting to meet him it became incredibly difficult not to fan-boy out.If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. Seeing how cheerful I seemed to be Mihawk who was incredibly serious for his age seemed a little annoyed. He did however continue the conversation asking "Isn''t that one of the Seven Ninja Swords?" As you would expect from someone destined to become the Worlds Greatest Swordsman he really knew his stuff when it came to swords. "Yeah. I kind of found myself fighting against the Seven Ninja Swordsmen Of The Mist not too long ago and some of their swords caught my eye". We talked for a while about the abilities of each sword and their uses. As I followed him and his ship towards an island. The island in question has a large bean stalk which is visible even from this distance. Curious I asked "so how come you''re here in Skypiea?" . As it turns out he is here to challenge the person known as the God who at this current moment in time is known to be Gan Fall. He is an excellent combatant who in the Anime and Manga of one piece is introduced as the Sky Knight. We made land on the huge island Mihawk explains that this island is known as the Upper Yard. It is considered to be a holy place by the people of Skypiea. There was however quite a tragic history to this land as the Skypieans forced out its former inhabitants due to the rarity of soil in the sky islands. Just as We were about to begin our travel across the Upper Yard however I could sense the arrival of many men heading our way. It would seem Mihawk too could sense them as we looked at each other. Once again confirming my skill Mihawk smiled little did I know at the time he was wondering how a small child of my size could possibly be so skilled. We waited patiently as a small army of men wearing loose fitting robes all came rushing towards us. These men had a pair of small angel like wings sticking out their back as all Skypieans do. They also had a hair style that looked as though they had a single antenna sticking up vertically. "You are trespassing on the Upper Yard" said the leader looking member of these people. Mihawk sighed showing his obvious disappointment. It wasn''t because he was upset with what this person said but because they all were holding staff like weapons and there wasn''t a single swordsman among them. Before they could even react Mihawk unsheathed his sword and with a single slash of its thin pointed blade they all began to fall down one after another. Mihawk had avoided their vitals but a cloud of blood still appeared in the air. I was amazed by the skill displayed and as such quickly patted his back and took control of his body. I backed up all his combat knowledge which was so in-depth that all the Seven Ninja Swordsmen Of The Mist''s knowledge was barely even with his own. I quickly returned to my body and cast a Genjutsu on Mihawk making him forget what had just happened. Chapter 37 Chapter Thirty-Seven The unlikely pair of myself and Mihawk left behind the Divine Squadron of which Mihawk had quickly incapacitated. We walked across the Upper Yard at a comfortable pace until we came to a series of ruins. Both of us could sense an incredibly powerful presence there but neither of us wanted to appear weak in front of the other so we continued onwards. Using my Sage Mode abilities I could tell that the person present in the ruins had also noticed us but had chosen not to do anything. This indicated just how sure of his power he was. Even with all of my strength I was sure it would take a great deal of effort to beat this person. We crossed the ruins and I pointed to the large bean stalk known as Giant jack. "Mihawk the person you want to challenge is at the top of that bean stalk, I will go say hello to this person while you complete your purpose for coming here". Mihawk thought for a moment about refusing my offer but decided it would be in his best interest to face the God of Skypiea at his best instead of exhausted after fighting someone else. We went our separate ways and I headed towards the powerful presence I felt. As he had already noticed me walking with Mihawk using his incredibly advance Observation Haki I decided that a sneak attack was no longer possible. The ruins around us held incredibly important historical objects including something called a Poneglyph. These block shaped objects are known to tell the history of the world. Only a select few can read this writing as it is written in an ancient language that has been all but eliminated by the World Government. The knowledge of this language is considered so dangerous that any one who is able to read it is immediately given a huge Bounty and marked for death by the World Government. As I was thinking about this Poneglyph a huge hulking figure emerged from the large ruin before me. He was around twenty one feet tall and had a large crescent shaped moustache. Even though this man before me is around fifty years of age he is still in his prime. He is none other than Edward Newgate also known as Whitebeard.The author''s tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. Even when he was in his seventies in the Anime and Manga and was weakened by illness he could still take on the full might of Marines in what was known as the Battle Of Marineford. As he is not weakened right now however if we should come to blows I know I have a real challenge ahead of me. We walked and faced one another I didn''t even come up to the man¡¯s shin it was quite an embarrassing sight. He began laughing his unique laugh of "GU RA RA RA RA" seeing such a small child willing to stand before him. "Hello there Whitebeard it is a pleasure to meet you" I said to him as politely as possible. "Cut the crap kid I could sense your desire to fight me from miles away" he replied. I''m not going to lie I was tempted to see how powerful this beast of a man was before his illness but who would have thought he could sense it so clearly. Obviously his mastery of Observation Haki is far higher than the norm. "Well I was tempted to see just how strong the fabled White Beard is. But before that may I ask why you are here in Skypiea?" Whitebeard laughed again "You have some guts kid. Very well, you see I''m currently retracing Roger''s steps to see what I missed when we were competing against each other." Ah so that''s it I thought but before I could ask anything else the powerful pirate took a fighting stance. It seems that for whatever reason he has taken an interest in testing my strength too. He throws a punch which shatters the air like glass. The cracks spread out before releasing a shock-wave that comes heading towards me with such power I almost panic. I activate the Rinnegan and use the Deva Path I create a spherical shock-wave with me at its centre to combat his own shock-wave. the two shock-wave clashes head on. I was shocked to see that the incredible almost Godlike power of the Deva Path was being pushed back slightly. Eventually the two shock-waves dissipated but it was clear in the test of strength his was even more powerful than mine. A smile appears on the face of Whitebeard seeing he was able to push my power back. However I have more tricks up my sleeve than just that so I began the counter attack. I summoned several large beasts using the Animal Path power of the Rinnegan. A large drill beaked bird, a multi-headed dog and a giant rhino all rush Whitebeard. Whitebeard however stands tall with not even a hint of fear on his face. As the three creatures rush towards him he releases incredibly potent waves of Conquerors Haki causing all three to faint. I couldn''t help but wonder just how much of a monster this man is. I had attempted to use the distraction to be able to sneak up on Whitebeard in order to activate Body Snatcher but he detected me and swung his Naginata at me. the sharp blade pierces through me scattering large amounts of sand. Luckily I had Crocodile''s Devil Fruit active and Whitebeard hadn''t used Haki allowing me to avoid a fatal attack. "Logia Huh" Whitebeard mused to himself. Deciding he would probably be using Haki in his attacks from now on I decided to step up my game against the monstrously powerful Pirate before me. Chapter 38 Chapter Thirty-Eight I took out a specially made Kunai and threw it towards Whitebeard. Suddenly the sole Kunai became thousands of them as I had used a derivative of the Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu on it. This is also not your standard Kunai as they have a special Chakra mark upon them. They began landing all over the place and once the stage was set I began to make my move. I used the Flying Thunder God technique to teleport quickly all over the place my speed so fast that Whitebeard couldn''t keep up with his eyes. I also created an army of Shadow Clones that were doing the same thing. We were buzzing around the Pirate launching all of our most Powerful Jutsu''s one after another. There was waves of copper sand, Wood Release Jutsu''s, Lava Release, Boil Release, and projectiles made of my own bones, along with every standard Elemental Release I knew but Whitebeard simply broke every attack with a punch that shattered the air around them like glass. I couldn''t even get close enough to cast a Genjutsu on him. He was truly living up to his reputation as the Strongest Man In The World. Quickly each and every one of my army of Shadow Clones are destroyed with a puff of white smoke. "Is that all you got kid?" Whitebeard said obviously trying to anger me into making a stupid mistake. "You know what old man. No its not" I switched into the Nine Tails Chakra Cloak which coupled with the Flying Thunder God had finally improved my speed to a degree that a normal person''s Observation Haki would no longer be able to follow. Whitebeard however is far from normal it was almost like he could see a few seconds into the future and he threw a punch directly in the location I was about to teleport to. I didn''t have time to stop myself as when I appeared I was engulfed in a series of glass shattering cracks. My Nine Tails Chakra Cloak barely protected me from the shock-wave but it blew me so far into the distance I went bouncing through many of the ruins.Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation. Whitebeard stood staring into the distance and said "That shouldn''t have done it" and he was right. I erupted out of the ground flying into the air the aura of my Ki combining with the Nine Tails Chakra Cloak becoming a vivid flickering flame around my body with electrical like sparks. My body felt as though it was pulling itself apart from so many competing elements but I pushed myself even further as the electrical sparks became more and more erratic until I also managed to activate the Lightning Release Chakra cloak at the same time as the Ki aura and Nine Tails Chakra Cloak. I Teleport with the Flying Thunder God again only now I moved with such speed the world around me had stopped moving. Even Whitebeard who until now could respond to each and every attack I had was moving at a snails pace. Sadly however my first attack in this form missed by a large margin. It was next to impossible to control the speed in this form. The Nine Tails Chakra Cloak gave Naruto the ability to move faster than the Fourth Raikage in the anime and Manga. Add on top of that the speed boost by using the Third Raikage¡¯s superior form of the Lightening Release Chakra Cloak. And If that wasn''t crazy enough I was using the full extent of my Ki and the Flying Thunder God. I was moving with such speed that my eye sight even with the Rinnegan was unable to keep up. I doubt even the tracking abilities of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan would manage. I however have an ability I may be able to use to circumvent that problem. I simply closed my eyes and allowed my Sage Mode sensory abilities to replace any and all visual information. I used teleport again. Once again I became aware of just how slow Whitebeard was moving I finally managed to get close enough to touch him and the moment I did I activated Body Snatcher. Inside Whitebeard¡¯s incredibly tall body I watched as my own body plummeted into the ground of the Upper Yard. Without anyone controlling it my body crashed deep underground as the multitude of Chakra and Ki disappeared. I cringed thinking just how much that is going to hurt. I didn''t have time to worry about my body right now I had to quickly use Auto Copy on Whitebeard¡¯s body. I was just about to return to my body when Body snatcher issued me a warning "Warning Host body is unconscious, As such you will be unable to backup data to Database. Do you wish to use Emergency Protocol to backup data now Y/N" I quickly clicked yes. I then had the idea as my body was unconscious I was unable to tell how much damage I had suffered so I used the new Body Snatcher feature to leave a small command into the brain of the person whose body I am in. I commanded Whitebeard make sure I am safe and healthy and then returned to my body where nothing but blackness was waiting for me. Chapter 39 Chapter Thirty-Nine I awoke to find myself on Whitebeard¡¯s ship. It was a large whale shaped ship known as The Moby Dick. I was heavily bandaged and my body was screaming in pain. I could tell that what I did has caused so much damage to my body that I don''t even have the strength to even scratch an itch on my nose. A man came into the room I was laying in and as it would turn out he is the Doctor of the Whitebeard Pirates. I feigned being unconscious and used Body Snatcher the moment he made physical contact in order to examine me. The reason I did this is because I wanted to copy his medical expertise. Unlike ninjas who use Medical Ninjutsu, a pirates crew have doctors more in line with the doctors we had in my previous life. I would be a fool not to gain such highly specified knowledge while I could. The other reason is I wanted to access his memories and see what Whitebeard had ordered him to do. I retuned to my body after copying his knowledge and used a Genjutsu to make him think he examined me thoroughly. I backed up his data to the Database and was pleasantly surprised to find he was also a Devil Fruit user. Meaning I now have access to six Devil Fruits powers. While scanning through his memories within the Database I was shocked to find a new play icon next to each memory file listed. Before the memories would be placed within my own mind for a short duration of time making me remember them as my own memories for a short time. Now however I was able to simply select this play icon and a screen seems to appear which only I can see. By watching this screen I can view the memories located within the Database. I watched as Whitebeard arrived back to his ship carrying me in his huge hands and ordered his crew to get me "Safe and Healthy again". There was almost something a little robotic about how Whitebeard said that but it seems to be the doing of me leaving the command within his mind. I was relieved to find that I am safe on this ship for the time being. Luckily my body is made up of Hashiramas cells so I should fully heal in at most a day. While I was waiting for my body to heal I went through my own memories which were backed up in the Database during the time I downloaded my mind into White Zetsu and Kamui. I used the new play icon to watch several Anime episodes of series that I haven''t watched in close to a decade. The ability to watch Anime''s again had brought a slight tear to my eye. You truly don''t know what you have until it is gone. My body healed in the time I binge watched young Goku gathering the Dragon Balls along with a young Bulma. The following day I got up much to the surprise of the Whitebeard¡¯s doctor made my way to the deck where Whitebeard was happily drinking from a huge bottle of Sake. I gave my thanks to the old man who was acting as though he had me taken care of on a whim.Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. I couldn''t help but find his Tsundere attitude to be quite amusing. I also didn''t want to tell him he only helped me because I made him do it. I said my goodbyes to the Whitebeard Pirates and made my way back to the Upper Yard. I was wondering how Mihawk had fared in his challenge with the God of Skypiea. As I reached the giant bean stalk I found a peacefully dozing Mihawk waiting. It seems even in his sleep his Observation Haki is incredible as he awoke noticing my presence. I''m not going to lie as a ninja I do kind of hate not being able to sneak up on these pirates who are skilled with Observation Haki. "Glad you''re back, I heard you got the crap kicked out of you by Whitebeard" Mihawk said with a sly smile on his face. "Like you wouldn''t believe" I said in reply to which Mihawk burst out laughing. This was quite the juxtaposition from his usually stern demeanour. He pointed to the top of the bean stalk and said "There''s an interesting fellow up there who asked me to tell you to make your way up there once you are healed up". As soon as he delivered this message Mihawk stood up and began heading off "Well as I have done as he asked I will be heading off, I look forward to meeting you again Rowan". I waved my goodbye Mihawk¡¯s back as he walked off towards where he left his ship. After Mihawk was gone I flew up Giant Jack the bean stalk and found that at the very top was a building that looked incredibly familiar to me. I was however quite surprised to see it here as it is not from the world of One Piece. It is none other than Kami''s Lookout a famous building within the world of Dragon Ball. As I arrived at the Lookout I saw a small rotund character. He has pitch black skin and round white eyes. His red lips were smiling contentedly and his pointy ears twitched with every sound. He was wearing a red vest and baggy white trousers with a turban and red pointed shoes. It is the attendant of the lookout Mr Popo. I was amused to meet someone as iconic as the seemingly ageless being who witnessed so many incredible events in the Dragon Ball story. "Hello!" I yelled as I came in for a landing. "I''ve been told someone wanted me to come up here" I said to Mr Popo. "Follow Popo" He said in quite a simplistic tone of voice to which I gladly obliged. We walked into the Lookout and I came across two people I recognise. One was Gan Fall who was bandaged up slightly, but acting as though he was on guard. If I had to guess these small injuries are Mihawk¡¯s work as he had come here to challenge the God of Skypiea. The other person I recognised was a Namekian known in the Dragon Ball series as Kami. He is the good half of the Demon King Piccolo. He appears to be far younger than he would be in the Dragon Ball story though. "Hello there" Kami said in a polite and friendly enough attitude. "I am Kami the guardian of this planet, you have met Mr Popo and this here is my friend Gan Fall the person with the title as the God of Skypiea" Kami introduced themselves amiably enough so I said "Hello my name is Rowan Senju". "It is a pleasure to meet you Rowan, I have asked for you to come here because there is a very important thing I would wish to discuss with you" Kami said his eyes locked onto mine as though watching intently at my reaction. "What could the guardian of this planet have to discuss with someone such as myself?" I asked curiously. "Are you familiar with the Poneglyph¡¯s?" Kami asked to which I nodded. "Good then the explanation will be kept short for you then. You see as well as the known Poneglyph¡¯s which tell of the history of the world, there are seven crystal Poneglyph¡¯s. Unlike those that tell the history of the world these crystal Poneglyph¡¯s are rumoured to be a letter written from the creator of this world to one specific person". Making sure I was keeping up to here Kami took a slight breath before continuing on with his tale. "You see as Guardian of this planet it is my duty to set the person of whom the letter is intended on a quest to read all of the crystal Poneglyph¡¯s. The name of that person has been passed on from guardian to guardian as Rowan Senju". I was shocked by the fact my name is of such importance but then again I was Reincarnated into this world by a God and his two sister Goddesses. Chapter 40 Chapter Fourty Kami Mr Popo and Gan Fall all led me to a secret room within the lookout. Inside was a huge crystal cube etched in a language I had no knowledge of. Kami said "Rowan, I am aware you have a special ability to gain knowledge from others as it was told to me by my predecessor that you would. Sadly neither Gan Fall nor myself can read this writing. The only one here who can is Mr Popo." Mr Popo stepped forward and said "Please use your power on Popo" to which I oblige. I placed my hand on Mr Popo and activated Body Snatcher. The moment I took control of his body Kami and Gan Fall both looked amazed seeing my body fall to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut. I picked up my hand to calm the concerned Kami and Gan Fall down. "It''s okay, I''m just inside the body of Mr Popo" I said to them. The usage of speech that is distinctly different to the kind of speech that Mr Popo would use eased their worries. I selected the Auto Copy function only to be told "Warning demi divine being detected. Do you still wish to Auto Copy Y/N" I selected yes and returned to my body as the copy process was done. I then selected the backup only to be prompted again "Warning demi divine being detected. Do you still wish to Backup to Database Y/N" I selected yes again but quickly learned the reason behind these prompts. It seems that if I implemented Mr Popo''s cells into my own I would gain the same agelessness as he has. My main priority now was the knowledge that Mr Popo has. I selected his Tab within the Database only to find that there was well over a Millennium of information to scroll through. Luckily I only have to think about what kind of information I want to view and the Database brings it up for me. I selected the ancient language and it downloaded into my brain. I told Kami Mr Popo and Gan Fall that I had gained the knowledge required to read the Crystal Poneglyph. The trio led me into a part of the Lookout which greatly resembled a shrine. At the focal point of this shrine however was a crystal cube with ancient lettering inscribed upon it. I had gained the permission of the three and walked down the aisle towards the alter where the Crystal Poneglyph stood. I looked over the writing and was relieved to see I knew what it said. I began reading it to find it says [Hi Rowan, I hope you are okay. My Brother and Sister and I would like to apologise.This narrative has been purloined without the author''s approval. Report any appearances on Amazon. We brought you to this world because of your love for the things we hold most sacred but in doing so we made a powerful enemy. The gods of your former world, while unable to act upon this world themselves have managed to send somebody here to retrieve your soul.

Because of this my Brother Sister and I have hidden seven crystal Poneglyph¡¯s for you to find. Obviously you have found this one if you are reading this. For each one you read will grant you new powers to fight the enemy. We wish your soul to stay in this world as it was created precisely for people like you. Yours Sincerely The Goddess Of Light Novel¡¯s x. ] As I finished reading this a orb of light erupted out of the crystal Poneglyph and entered into my body. "Body Snatcher Levelled up, Appraisal Levelled up, Item Box Levelled up, Store Feature added". I was amazed that the Poneglyph had boosted my abilities and given me a new one. I used appraisal on myself to see Name: Rowan Clan: Senju Race: Human/Saiyan Age: NINE YEARS Chakra Nature: Water Release, Earth Release, Lightning Release, Fire Release, Wind Release, Yin Release, Yang Release Kekkei Genkai: WOOD RELEASE, MAGNET RELEASE, LAVA RELEASE, BOIL RELEASE, SHIKOTSUMYAKI.

I put some thought into what the Poneglyph had to say and decided if anyone wants to take me from this world they will have one hell of a fight on their hands in order to accomplish that. My strength that I have right now might seem incredible but I am still not satisfied. The fight against Whitebeard has taught me I need more strength and now more than ever. I thanked Kami, Mr Popo, and Ganfall. I tell them I am going home for a while to think over what the Poneglyph had to say. I say my goodbyes and teleport back to Foosha Village.
