《Blood Limit》


 This is the start

    He sighed as he seated him self in his usual posture on the train. Today was monday. He was heading to school where he would be troubled with work and non-stop nagging of the teacher. And just like any other day he planned to lay his head on the desk and let the sun rays of light that shine through in the morning hit him making his napping position more comfortable by 10-fold as he also had be seated by the window to his advantage.


    He smirked. Watching the scenery go by as he sped past different constructs and soon came to a stop.


    He stepped off the "bullet" and made his way up stairs slowly. He felt the sun hit him again and let out a groan because of the raw waves of heat. He would be drenched in sweat by time he made it.


    He sighed and scratched his head. ''No use griping about it here'' he gave the sun a side glance and made his way towards the school. ''The evening sun will be better''


    .


    In minutes he was at a familiar door which he opened walking into a familiar classroom. Walking slowly to his desk he took his seat in the back near the window. As he sat down he heard a yell


    "Hey, watch out!"


    As the voice entered his ears his head snapped in the direction of the voice''s source. He said a kid running at him with an outstretched arm, behind the kid was a girl with a worried countenance. But maybe it was fake? She smiled. It wasn''t intent on harm but definitely can''t be good either right?


    Finally as it closed in he lay eyes on a small blue truck not even the size of his hand. He mentally rolled his eyes before he evenly swatted it away. As he expected it to go flying in another directon something completely out of the ordinary happened.If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.


    The small truck phased through his hand, squarely hitting his face. He felt a odd sensation run through his hand, also the rest of his body. He immediately went to flexing his hand and rubbing his face but there was no pain. Only leaving him feeling as if something touched something deep inside of him. He could not shake the feeling and to add to it he felt a pull. Something was sure to come.


    Crack* khn


    Everyone heard it as they snapped their vision to a crevice in the ceiling. Looking directly above he saw the blue front of a truck make its way through the ceiling. He had no time to think. His instincts, reflexes. All of it yelled it screamed at him too move but. ''Shut up no human can possibly move that friggin fast! And why the hell is a truck raining from a sky!?'' Before the truck smashed into him he swiftly made his move. Grabbing the pen he never used he thrust it towards the maw of the truck. Can something of this extent even be called a last ditch effort? He doesn''t know..


    Just as the truck crashed into him he could hear the truck driver shout


    "Are we there yet!?" And the horns went off.


    Then everything went black but he swore he saw all the students sweat.


    He could only hope that driver had a long sentence.


    He gave his signature sigh as everything went black.


    Sigh..


    ...


    ..


    .


    Lying in a ''rip'' position he sat up and shook his head. As his eyes focused he realized there was nothing but air beneath him.


    ''What?!''


    He shot up and turned to look at where he lie just a moment before he heard something fall away. Huh? And not even a breath later he heard the familiar horn of a certain deadly truck honk at him from 6 o'' clock he instantly paled and rounded on reflex to the familiar noise only to be get with an unfamiliar blue screen.

    From the words alone this sounds alot like the naruto verse he knows about. He summons all the knowledge he knows about getting in ''accidents'' with trucks and the human brakes before being shipped to another word after dying and getting his/her perks from the entity that they meet after. This left him with fewer questions than most. What he had to find out was. No he had to confirm where he would go and what he got as as perks.


    "So I will be going to the naruto world am I right? What are my perks?" This is the most important right? His eyes focused on the blue screen before the words faded from existence and a new response was seemingly typed up.


    <table>


    <tbody>


    <tr>


    <td>straight to the point huh. They''re always like that these days. So in a hurry to leave us behind. *Tears fall* I''m not really just a blue screen. I''m an actuall being. The blue screens are more like as cover up. A mask of sorts.</td>


    </tr>


    </tbody>


    </table>


    A mask? That''s unusual. "Why would someone like you require a mask? I take it you are not a mortal. A human much less." The word on the blue screen seemingly backspace this time before no words were entered.

    Hmmm..That''s not something I should say. But I will tell you, you are not alone. Now as for the world you will be in..


    -DING DING


    CORRECT~ It is indeed the naruto universe. And that''s not all! You get to CREATE your very own bloodline limit which no one else could ever access! Well that is unless you say otherwise~ *giggles*

    He put an L shaped hand to his chin and begin putting together his new bloodline but not before giving a large smile and a loud ''Yosh!'' Whilst thrusting a fist above his head.


    It didn''t take long for him to put it together seeing as he always asked himself the ''what if he was in another world'' only thing was is this is a bloodline limit. Not some skill. Or something on a grander scale. ''I do hope this works.'' Ready, he looked up at the screen still in the air in front of him.

    <td>...Wow you really thought about this haven''t you. Mind explaining the last one?</td>


    </tr>


    </tbody>


    </table>


    He smiled lightly and said "I wasn''t sure how to cover freezing or the cold in general so it ended up just like I said. I just hope that it can be done?"

    <tr>


    <td>Easily. Is there anything else though? You still seem too underpowered. You might die soon as you mess with the wrong one.</td>

    Smiling he decided to increase his power in the other world. "Great. I would like that regeneration to become ''instant regeneration'' it has no limit if I see it as something that should be able to regenerate then it should be able to do so. Also an immediate understanding and being able to wield my freeze and suspension ability would be a big help. Naruto has his clones but it wont hurt if I have a greater talent right? One attempt on a skill is several gained right?"Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.


    He said all that rapidly. The blue screen reeled taking in what he had just said but then.


    <table>


    <tbody>


    <tr>


    <td>Is that all?</td>


    </tr>


    </tbody>


    </table>


    That can''t be all. He felt like he was missing something vital. What if once he feels like there''s definitely something. ''Thats right.''


    "The instant regeneration has to be natural. Its passive while I can also take command of it. If one of my limbs are cut off it would be bad if it immediately appeared out of no where. A certain snake would be all over me in an instant. And I cant have the regeneration using my own chakra so it has to be completely natural and do it job on its own. Passive ability."


    <table>


    <tbody>


    <tr>


    <td>Smiles* you caught me. Anything else?</td>


    </tr>


    </tbody>


    </table>


    "Certainly." He smiled as he spoke with the blue screen which laughed like an evil master mind here an there but was brought to tears a couple of times. But still grudgingly granted the request.


    ____A few hours later~


    "Alright I believe that''s everything. I really am grateful to you I may have less chance finding my self frozen much less finding my self comfortably alive if you hand pointed that out." True enough once he use the freezing ability it would have certainly froze him and his opponent so he would predominantly be dead even if he didn''t die in a block of ice.

    <tr>


    <td>You are certainly welcome. You were quite careless. Still I can''t have you dying soon as you arrive right?</td>

    "Right hehe" he diffidently scratched his head at his careless. Blue screens right. I most likely would have died quickly.

    He wasn''t particularly keen on naming himself cause of his bad naming sense but also wasnt interested in keeping his old one. New world, new life, must have a new name to go with it all right?

    He mentally facepalmed as he immediately understood the meaning but couldn''t understand how he missed something so simple.


    "Yea" He nodded

    "Mhm thanks for everything. Perhaps we''ll meet again?" Sasu owed this blue screen who ever she was alot. It was thanks to the blue screen he would have an easy life.


    "That would be interesting wouldn''t it?" Sasu jumped as he turn to face the voice that came out of nowhere in the darkness nothing but a blue and himself were here so whom?


    "Shall our paths cross again Sasu!" The voice was cute and faint Sasu caught sight of a girl around 5ft in a mini kimono and white long hair that flowed as if it was blowing in winds. he felt his gaze soften but unexpectingly a small pale white hand pushed him from behind. And Sasu fell.


    U-UWAAAA!?


    And everything went black.


    ______Somewhere in a forest~


    Uggh


    ''Was that the blue screen?'' Sasu asked drearily. Feeling sun rays on his skin caused him to look around. It seems he was surrounded by trees. Light leaked in through the gaps between the leafes and branches. He raised a hand over his head to share the light entering his eyes.


    "Well I know where this is."


    He stood on two legs and yawned. he noted he reflexively yawned instead of sighing. ''That was different'' he walked in a random direction hoping he would reach the leaf soon.


    As he past he look around gave the new scenery a lazy glance of mild interest though in his mind he was really interested at what was happening. ''really can''t wait till I reach the leaf'' reaching the leaf was the most important goal right now. The faster he learned sign the faster he could get into using his abilities.


    Thinking like that he quickened his pace. ''The faster the better''


    But for some reason he felt a breathing on his neck. He stopped and slowly turned before he faced a bear with an undead appearance. A centipede crawled from an eye socket before burrowing in deep fur. The bear growled before Sasu took action.


    The hand that rose into the air~


    Came down in a back hand.

 Ch 3

    Growls!...


    RAOOOOORORODODODRORODOR!!!


    Sasu fell on his buttocks he wanted to yawn but the bear lept on top of him placing one large paw at the center of his chest. Smashing through ribs easily. ''No regeneration? Was it a lie?'' The regeneration immediately made it self known. The large claw falling slowly into his chest was forced up into its original position. It was an odd feeling but ''nevermind. Sorry I doubted you!''


    Agrh!!


    Even if his wounds and injuries did heal the pain was getting to be unbearable. So was the bears nasty maw closing the distance. Sasu could have sworn he seen an ecosystem of shit right at the edge of its mouth and the bear reek! This was unforgivable!


    This time Sasu smacked the bear with the palm of his hand full strength. It even turned its head to the side from the force.


    "Fufu you underestimate me. I''m definitely no push over-" ''ha take that you fool! I won''t lose'' Sasu brought back his hand to deliver yet another slap to his heavy opponent!


    ROARRRRRR


    The large mass of fur stomped down hard on Sasu chest knocking the wind out of him before moving in taking a chunk out Sasu''s neck.


    AHHH!!!


    The screams of Sasu ceased immediately as he no longer had anylarynx, Thyroid gland,trachea, nor vocal cords to screech from. The pain almost caused him lose conscious but just as the bear took a step back confident in its kill it was Sasu to rise up again. Sasu was on his back looking at the bear as he rubbed his brand new neck that came from no where.


    Blood dripped from the bears maw as it lick it maw relishing in blood. Seeing as this victim is still alive it figured it would eat its fill with a game an then some.


    Sasu slowly retreated backwards, inching back as his arms carried him away but slowly such as the human instinct allowed.This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.


    The bear growled before it was upon Sasu again this time it went for the gut shredding the clothes he wore to school as the same day he first died. All his innerds. His organs were being devourded constantly and it didn''t seem as if the bear would want to stop any time soon.


    Just his luck he met a zombie bear on his way to where he hoped he would find the leaf. He couldnt recall of ever hearing about a full zombie in his previous life. Just where did all the flesh go?


    "Hey... Why dont you stop now." In pain and all Sasu fired off a rapid barrage of punches and kicks at the bear. The bear was heavy but the blows to his head disoreinted it a little.


    Sasu shot up and ran in the opposite direction as fast as he could.


    "that ought to teach him!"


    Sasu ran full speed but it wasn''t long before he heard the disgruntled breaths of something closing in on his 6. (Just behind him) he turned and was disheartened at the fact the bear caught up so quickly. If the zombie bear gets a hold of him there may not be such an easy escape next time.


    Sasu looked around looking for something that might be enough to evade the bear. Nothing but trees why the hell are there no weapons around!? Does the world hate him so much for.. ''Wait'' Sasu skid to a stop. ''Ive read that humans in my world were able to fight bears on an equal level. Some of them won if they were skilled. Maybe I can get lucky. I mean I dazed it so far right? Just a few times. Maybe I can do it again?


    Just at his feet Sasu picked up a twig. ''It''ll have to do'' he looked up to see the bear running. It wasted no time on its mad dash as loose branches caught in its fur.


    "Here goes nothin''!"


    Taking the form of a professional base ball player. Sasu held the twig properly in his hand and as the bear closed the distance he thrust his arm forward carrying his weight to add in more force.


    The twig managed to easily pierce the open eye socket and through the bears skull.


    ROARR


    The bear slowly fell and with a thud. The bear crashed into the ground kicking up some dust as dirt flew.


    Sasu''s ragged breathing soon ceased as the ability did it''s job.


    ''Hah thought you could fare against me?'' Sasu walked over confidently to the corpse.


    "Fool!" He hollered at the corpse before kicking it. Now satisfied.


    Sasu straightened the collar of his torn overcoat. He glanced at the shredded mess around the gut and spoke silently. "Regenerate" not even a second later his school wear was good as new.


    He smirked and looked around at the now peaceful scenery. Taking in a breath of the otherworldly fresh air he begin his march through the forest greenery anew.


    Sasu looked around once more before saying with an ambiance different from the one he carried when he arrived. "I can get used to this."

 Ch 4

    CRACK *


    A figure could be seen flying back at an incredible speed as a bear stood on two hind legs, its arm outstretched. It stood tall. Its glare with the eye ball hanging down its face. it growled as it heard the voice its soon to be victim. Which should have died the last several...thousand times but still stands.


    From the dust cloud came the voice of a male with black hair and slit eyes.


    THWACK


    The tree was being torn apart a the male tore himself from the tree and dropped to the ground before he stood tall facing his toughest opponent yet. What could he say? This large oversized white bear refused to go down.


    "When will you ever learn?" The black haired male asked. Inquiring the bear tho not really expecting a response the bear growled viciously before making a mad dash at this man.


    "This again?" The man smirked but quickly returned his serious expression and sprinted at the white mass.


    ROAAAAAAARRRR!!!


    RAAUGGHHHHThis novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.


    The man and the bear were quickly caught in a melee as the bear took a swipe at the man''s face he ducked under and send a palm toward the bears seemingly open chest. A great gust of wind blew through out from the other side of the bear from its back before the man sent it flying with a round kick.


    The bear splintered several large trees before colliding with a larger tree and falling to the ground glaring at the man with its good eye through the clearing cloud of dust.


    As the bear looked up it found the man just a few meters from it. Taking a step forward the man cocked his head to the side arrogantly.


    "I thought that maybe you were more powerful than the others ya know quality over quantity ya know but maybe you''re just fat? Compared to the other monsters you may be sturdy but.. I can''t really say why you lived so long seeing as all you can do is take hits. You get what I''m hinting at?"


    He sneered before he broke into laughter.


    "You should see you right now! HAHAha haha! And my joke this master before you cracks himself up." Heh the man grins before he crouchs almost eye level to the downed bear. "I''ve wasted enough time here with you. So why not let us end this shall we? Master will be swift-"


    As he said it blood sprayed as he sliced through the bear''s neck. The cut was to clean to be done by hand yet it was. Flexing. His fingers which he has stiffened to perform the sword hand technique the man stood whilst letting the bears head drop from his other hand.


    ''I''ve been wondering around an entire 33 hours and I still can''t find the leaf. Did I take the wrong route? Not it cant be she promised my arrival so long as I walked a bit so why?'' He stood and walked passed the fallen corpse of the white bear.


    "No point actually dawdling here. Lets ruuunn, that way!" He yelled refusing to give up just yet.

 Ch 5

    Sasu has be sprinting non stop for a while now the unchanging scenery not so interesting as it was when first laid eyes upon. While running he ran past monsters and the usual bears dodging and evading sudden attacks to the best of his ability. Still fresh in the world and new to the concept of power it isn''t unusual he gets smacked around a bit but he gradually begin taking less an less hits. By the next morning he found himself able to avoid all attacks from the bear but by a hair. It wasn''t perfect. Not yet.


    The unchanging scenery changed slightly from before. Something more distinct about this area. Sasu noted that there''s been lack of monsters attacking him whilst just animals went about their day. After some time the attacks stopped completely.


    Slowing down Sasu stopped his sprint and walked up to a tree. ''Maybe I should check my location'' raising a hand he slapped the tree and began his ascent to the top.


    At the top a black hair male could be seen taking in his surroundings. The male''s eyes widened when his mouth dropped open he muttered curses. He had already arrived at the leaf. Just as he was making to climb down he repositioned himself. ''Rather isn''t tree hopping a basic to all shinobi? Lets test it out''


    A stupid grin appeared on the black hair male''s face before he pushed of the branch with all his strength. The stupid grin widened as he saw his next branch coming closer. ''Hm?'' It was noted by Sasu the branch was increasing in altitude as his own decreased.


    U-WAWAUA


    Before he could react Sasu''s chin hit the branch which was preordained designated landing spot.


    Rubbing his previously bruised chin he saidEnjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site.


    "Well that didn''t happen now did it?"


    Looking around he made sure no one was in sight to witness his fall. Finding no one he proceeded to march toward where he saw the village hidden in the leaves. ''Phew''


    He reassured his arrogant aura, looking straight ahead. If anyone saw him now they would no doubt think he was of a prestigious. Honorable background. He made it several steps before a voice in the trees erupted in laughter.


    "HAHA Haha that was terrible! How could someone be so bad tree hopping! Hehe"


    Sasu eyes went wide in shock before turning to face the source of the voice.


    Coming out from behind a tree was a man figure covered in all black. He walked forward stopping a some distance from Sasu. Frowning at the unusual appearance of a person. Something which had not appeared at all on coming here.


    "Did you see?"


    "And what if I did?" The ninja responded drawing a shuriken from his bag before throwing it. Zipping past Sasu the shuriken embedded it self in the tree behind him.


    "You have made my day now as such you have my gratitude. This gratitude of mine prevents you from being forced to turn over all of your belongings to me." Turning he begin walking in the opposite direction. "Honestly I tell you kids haha! Cya boy"


    Sasu countenance darkened as he also turned. Walking some distance he retrieved the metal projectile the ninja left behind. Looking at the distance growing between them Sasu steeled him self and took aim. ''foolish'' he thought and threw the projectile which blurred towards the man.


    ''3''


    ''2''


    ''1'' ... "DYNAMIC ENTRY!" to fast for the eyes all Sasu knew is that the man in black disappeared and a man in a green jumpsuit and jonin vest and some bushy brows appeared instead catching the shuriken he threw with a grin.


    CRASH *


    trees fell as a dust kicked up somewhere in the distance. Looking over Sasu saw the now unconscious body of the man he intend to cut down earlier. Most likely bones broken. Battered and bruised from fighting so many trees.


    "Now." Lowering his leg the big green mantis made its way over.


    "Who are you and what are you doing so near to the leaf?"


    This was the beast of the leaf village. Goofy but very sharp. Sasu couldn''t afford to have it blown here. He had to get into the leaf. His face melted into a serious expression before he spoke.


    "I need to meet with the hokage."

 Ch 6

    Guy eyes widened a slight margin before he said.


    "I am most likely wrong but you don''t mean directly do you?" As he quirked an eyebrow. After thinking Guy already settled upon taking him to see the hokage where he would be on stand by if needed.


    Sasu nodded.


    "Well its a good thing you found me otherwise there would have been trouble. Ya see we have chunin guard at the gates and anbu who would be on you in seconds. Higher level ninja, jonin are also on that list." Guy waved the shuriken while giving his nice guy grin. Then guy said "I will take you to see the hokage my self. This way there won''t be any trouble right?"


    Guy moved past Sasu and towards the village and gestured for him to follow.


    No longer able to gaze at the scenery which was cospicuous to his eye before; no longer catching his interest he allowed silence to wash over them.


    Until Guy rolled his neck looking over his shoulder, speaking, before tossing the shuriken back "I can''t say I''m sure of what you would be capable of but since that is the case if you are my enemy do not expect me too hold back"


    Sasu nodded. Though he knew Guy wasn''t stupid he appreciated how things were going so far but those lucid words of warning left a slight tension with him; knowing he was being watched. With one wrong move he would make the entire village his enemy.


    But as he remembered ''The leaf'' was pretty easy going so it should be ok right?


    With that they quietly continued to the village at a moderate pace.


    Entering the village Sasu soaked in the scenery before him while thinking about how he would confront the head of the village. His name, his age, where the hell he came from? These would all be inquires of the hokage. He could answer all of them except the latter. Where did he come from? Training in the forest with a master? One of the Legendary Sanin? Was he from another village? Maybe a prestigious hidden family will do. His ability should well cover that. But that would also blow one of his trump cards.


    As Sasu was formulating a plan a ball hit his leg pulling him from his thoughts. ''Hm?''


    Looking at the ball then from where it came he saw children running straight toward him. Of the group one stepped forward still meters away.


    "Hey mister, could you pass that back to us?" The kid opened his arms ready for a pass.


    Glancing back Sasu noted Guy hadn''t stopped his stride and was still walking slowly. Too suspicious! Not something Sasu would fall for though. Picking up the ball Sasu casually tossed it back and turned to catch up with Guy.


    "Uhm ah- thankyou mister!"Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.


    Smilling, Sasu responded with a reverse wave.


    Soon Sasu found him self at the desk of the village head with the hokage in her seat.


    "So you mean to tell me you found a kid wandering outside our village borders. He almost killed a bandit. Before you jumped on the set and he asked to meet the hokage. Then you just bought him here!?" Tsunade couldn''t make heads or tails of this nonsense. What if she died?


    "Um I figure with our power we could take him but I''ve watched him until now and that''s not all. Regarding his physic even though he looks slim he doesn''t seem at all exhausted. Then.."


    Silence permeates the air a few seconds before tsunade shouts. "What what!? Out with it!" Sasu brought his gaze from her figure to her lips.


    "Well he was fighting a wild bear before the bandit and when the bear sent him flying but there he recovered almost instantly! Walking from the wreckage he sprinted at the bear dealing a blow sending it through several stray trees. Pursuing his target at low-jonin rank speed, he swiftly fininshed it off with a single blow." Tsunade eyes widened as she turned to the young man ogling her. Her very slight twitch went unnoticed as a "OoOoOoO" could be heard from from the window.


    A tick mark appeared on tsunade visage before a shoe came from her sending a silver haired nin with an eye patch flying from the tower window. Still fueming at the tacit of the flying nin she turned her attention back to the matter at hand. Seeing the hearts in the boy''s eyes she called him after another unnoticed twitch.


    "Boyo"


    "Hm?" The boy shook his head snapping out of his stupor. ''oops was my signature response to disrespectful?'' He glanced at the shocked look the hokage gave him. He smirked and adjusted his orientation. Favoring his weight on one leg as one was put behind shifting to just his toes. And scratched his cheek looking embarrased.


    That wasnt it though she was merely shocked about him coming back to focus so quickly.


    "Uhm.."


    Seeing as this was going nowhere guy came in. "Ahem!" He frowned at Tsunade.


    "Right. Guy how did he finish?"


    "The great bear, white was killed via decapitation. A bare handed technique sir." Wide eyes and ogling eyes flashed, meeting once more between the mysterious black haired male and blond village leader.


    <hr><hr>


    Well moments later we jump into it~


    Looking at the mysterious young man Tsunade looked like a chicken having had someone pluck its feather by surprise. One question was on the mind of everyone present.


    Guy looked at Sasu and said. "Young man."


    Tsunade said "Who are you?"


    Stepping forward in confidence he now had regained his arrogant air but the laziness could still be felt from him. He said. "You may call me Sasu. I am a youngster and as for where I''ve come from... You don''t need too worry about that."


    Hearing this Guy began hollerin'' nonsense and Tsunade raised her voice for no reason. Cleaning his ear with his little finger he furrowed his brows ''well this has certainly gone on long enough'' before demanding silence. "Oh my, shut up! acting like a fly won''t due for someone of your prestige will it? Now I can guarantee this village''s while protection so long as I''m here but in exchange I have a request."


    Seeing the surprised faces Sasu took advantage of their silence and told them what he had in mind.


    "I am mostly civilian rank maybe chunin but that''s on my strength alone. I''ve done a strict training regimen and my strength increased facing enemies beyond my strength which is the power Might Guy spoke of before. I can''t stop here. I have yet to learn how to use what makes ninja well a ninja. Shinobi are more known for the those born into chakra or talented people that awaken to it. I can''t use mine at all. This is where you come in. I want to learn signing, chakra manipulation, and Justus.


    Saying such things in rapid fire the rapt attention of those present became more like an audience with monkeys and birds. Guy scratched and Tsunade looked around before she caught the gleam in her eye that said she found prey fish. As her eyes landed upon Jon.

 Ch 7

    Walking the road to the academy was a boy hair so dark it was likened to the void. Wearing all black his gear was a black shirt, some black joggers tied to his pants was a dark demon fox mask with a black string. And black flip flops. This was Sasu.


    Approaching the academy were kids on the path to become nin. These kids on the level of genin already knew hand sign and and even fewer knew jutsu nor had enough experience in chakra control.


    Entering the academy Sasu went to the class appointed to him by the hokage.


    ___


    Flashback~


    "I understand! You may enter my academy!" Said the hokage while slamming he palms on her desk as she stood.


    "S-sir are you sure? This isnt our normal protocol!" An anbu said appearing from no where off to the side before the desk of tsunade.


    "He''s right. We should find out more about this boy! We know NOTHING!" Guy remarked making a tick mark appear on tsunade.


    "I said he will attend my academy! The students are ignorant and I shall speak of my will to a teacher at the academy on my own!"


    Scratching his cheek Sasu spoke. "Uhm.. I don''t necessarily need to join the academy do I? My own teacher will be fine."


    Sasu did not want to spend years at the academy. Considering his skills he can increase his strength in no time. He had no intention on wasting his time when he could learn Justus in months. Wow maybe less considering how amiable the blue screen had acted. She fullfilled most of his request whilst ameliorating others. Seemingly stoking a flame and tossing in fuel when it needed to be hotter.


    Looking into her eyes tsunade broke her gaze with a sigh and agreed. "I will allow you to get help from any of the jonin on within the village. But.. I have a request."Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.


    "Hm?" Sasu could see how serious she was as she spoke he looked at the hokage as the seriousness was suffused in her voice.


    "You will be givin 3 A-S rank mission in addition to this deal. Once they are completed you may completely leave the village." Said tsunade. This deal made Sasu an ally of sorts to the leaf village.


    "To be sure you do not betray this village this seal will be placed on you. Please lift your shirt" tsunade spoke as she pulled a piece of paper from the desk.


    "Hmm I understand." Sasu mesmerized the writing on the seal in case he got around to learning seals later. Lifting his shirt he saw the softening gaze of tsunade before she blinked an quickly checked herself assuming the air of leader again. Her hand went forth as she touched his chest. The seal lay between his chest and her fingers before it lit up a blue color and vanished. She stood and went backed into her desk, leaning on it.


    "Thank you." Sasu thanked her and turned to leave. Wondering who would be a good jonin would be to teach him how to work with the elements he walked out of the office in thought. He would go to team 7 first. He wanted to meet a certain unpredictable ninja. He smiled mischievously.


    Now alone guy glared at the anbu left in the room. Turning to the anbu nin tsunade nodded and said. "Leave us."


    In a whirlwind of leafs the anbu vanished.


    Raising a bushy brow at tsunade, she said. "I let him go because he seemed harmless. That seal I put on him is something made by jiraiya" Guy eyes went wide and he was going to argue his confusion but she cut him off. "Its just a prototype, not all ends were explored yet. He gave it to me long before he even died. But, he told me its intent. The seal will wrack his body with pain before causing him to deteriorate, bleeding from all the holes in his body, Killing him. This is for a traitor of the leaf village!"


    Guy nodded before turning. "If you don''t mind I still would like to keep my eye on him."


    Tsunade laughed and said tiredly. "Go ahead. You are dismissed." Guy gave a reverse wave and left closing the door behind him.


    Tsunade slowly placed a hand on her chest. Panting she blushed slightly before.


    "Reporting my lady!" Giving tsunade a jump scare the anbu snickered behind his mask ''must be bcause of the new comer. She likes em young huh?''


    "R-report!" Tsunade quickly took on her role as the leader again.


    Flashback End~


    _____


    So what is Sasu doing at the academy? Checking out the new comers of course. Fillers like npc''s and such caught his curiosity. Teachers as well besides the old ones but most importantly he felt something in the air. As if waiting to happen.

 Ok, So not time yet! (Ch 8)

    Sasu solemnly entered into one of the empty class. It was different. The desk, the seats, the room, the air. It was all so different! Sasu approached a table, allowing his hand to slide across as a wave of nolstagia washed over him.


    "It seems I missed such a life."


    He looked to the upper corner to the right of the room. His eyes gazed at the sunlight which shun into the room from the, a new evening sky. Approaching the steps he took a breath as he headed to the back of the class where the higher seats are. Schooching over he slid to the seat nearest to the window.


    ''Ahhh even this other wordly sun feels nice.''


    His head fell back allowing the sun light to hit his face. From the increasing ease in his face. In the tranquility the sun bought this evening he felt all of his vexation, simply fall away. It melted from his face as only tranquility was left.


    ''Why couldn''t every day continue like this?''


    Sasu could not agree more when its been said sleeping in the rays of the evening sun were the clearly the best thing life had to offer. Also anyone could do it! With the respiteful ambience he lay forward soon fast asleep on the desk.


    ~~~~~~


    Two girls walked through the hallways of the academy talking about the small talk of some jonin and that small talk was about.


    "Hey has your father taught you the trick to throwing kunai?"


    "No but did you hear those jonin? Kakashi got done in by the villages most unpredictable ninja at a young age! Its surprising for a Benin to even manage to lay hand on a jonin much less his fingers!" She laughed


    "Right! but the thousand years of death is a little bit much.. Isn''t it?" A bit grossed out by the technique. ''Who makes a technique to impale another mans ass?''


    "Well I guess you are right but would you like it if he had done it to you instead? And if he does it to everyone then the barriers and principle built will all be torn down!"


    Holding her ass she said "Right, I''m good!"


    "Hey what''s that over there?" Pointing at a person in a near by classroom to their own.If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.


    Looking in direction of the finger her friend pointed she found a boy up in the back of the class. She followed her friend inside.


    "Hey! This isnt our class maybe we should call him from here!?"


    "Come on. He isnt suppose to be in here either stop being a stick in the mud!" She quickly entered and began disturbing the boy.


    "Stop! You will get us in trouble!"


    "Not if your loud mouth does first. now help me wake him up."


    After a bit of hesitation she prepares to approach the boy but soon as she takes a step she notices the boys movement.


    The girl nearer to him clearly surprised let out a surprised "ah"


    ~~


    Pov change ~~


    Ugh


    Hearing a loud voice as someone else tapped at him and poked his head and finally rubbed him he could no longer endure. His head lifted from the table. His gaze fell on the two who caused his rest to come to an unfortunate end.


    "What can I help you with?" He said impatiently. As he had just been woken up via an uncomfortable method his rude reaction was within reason. On his mind now was who disturbed his sleep? And getting them to leave. Why they disturbed him was of far less concern.


    Coming out of her surprise the girl nearer to him drew a kunai and put it in a reverse grip before stabbing down. Sasu reacted by avoiding the kunai and grabbing her wrist before he snatched the kunai from her before rotating it and thrusting it at her neck. She immediately starts signing her low genin rank jutsu taught by the academy to all genin in attendance.


    Ram ¡ú Boar ¡ú Ox ¡ú Dog ¡ú Snake


    As soon as the kunai cut into her flesh blood spray from her neck before her body was covered in smoke and with a poor she disappeared before the smoke vanished and at the end of the kunai was a textbook. Sasu glanced over to see the girl he killed still alive. though he was frowning he was mentally relieved.


    "You''re pretty good! Even though you had only woke up just then your response and reaction were really fast too I like your style." The girl said smugly.


    "Thank you and yourKawarimi was perfect! I know this may be abrupt and maybe odd as well but.. Can you teach me?"


    "Hmm... Sure! Its not odd to want to gain power." She said proudly as she hopped from the top of the desk. Switching places with the textbook left her there. "I am Enai. This is my friend, her name is kiriya, you will be learning the Kawarimi from me." She offered her hand.


    "Sasu." He accepted the hand of the seemingly cheerful Enai and waved to a kiriya who appeared to have given up and decided to stand back on this matter at a desk across from the two as she returned a friendly wave.


    Enai raised an eyebrow at his name but said nothing. ''I did say just my first name'' she said to the boy. "Well we came back because I forgot something but I''m not at all tired and seeing as we are on school grounds we could use the arena is that ok?"


    Thinking he''d just met one of those crazy battle maniac''s he loved to read about he allowed a small smile on his countenance. He slid out of his seat and stood up as he flexed a bit. His arms, his legs, hands, shoulders, and finally his neck allowing a loud crack to sound in the room.


    "Yea, I''m ready. Lead the way."


    This other world is apparently easy. Really easy. Those thoughts in his mind Sasu followed beside Enai with kiriya in tow.

 Schooled by genin (9)

    Setting foot on the practice grounds of the academy two genin and another nin walked to an open space on the field.


    "Ok I don''t know really how talented you are but I hope this doesn''t take too long as this is just the basics. First you will try to sense your chakra. Manipulating said chakra comes after." Said Enai as kiriya walked over to one of the near by benches on the training ground.


    "Then what about hand signs, when will I learn those?" Sasu inquired. ''I really want to work on my jutsu''s. Earth had no way of any one even doing a real kawarimi yet it was done right before my own eyes now. I have to learn it!''


    Sensing a bit of his impatience Enai said. "As soon as you can use chakra and not before!" She held back a laugh an snickered at the childish disappointment on his face.


    "Well how do I start?" Sasu inquired his genin teacher.


    "First you have to feel your chakra. So close your eyes and try to feel the energy deep inside you." She instructed.


    Closing his eyes he searched. And indeed he did find something. "Enai-sensei, I feel it!" He said


    "What is it? Did you awaken to your chakra?!" This is fast he shouldnt be able to do it so soon not without recieveing prior training.


    "No sensei, this is different. The chakra I feel from you guys isnt the same." Sasu said worriedly.


    "Out with it student!" She said.


    "I believe I need to see the trees sensei" he said sheepishly with his eyes still closed in concentration.


    ''Is he asking for drugs? Why. I have no tobacco.'' She thought. Sasu was indeed confusing. Seeing trees? What does this mean?


    "I don''t understand. I think I am to young still for a drug." Enai said.


    "I think you are misunderstanding Enai, he has to pick flowers."


    ''Pick flowers? What does that have to do with chakra sensing?!'' Now agitated she said. "Stop playing and try sensing your chakra! You can pick flowers another time."


    "But sensei I have to-" Sasu attempted.


    Closing her eyes in irritation she opened them before they flash dangerously at Sasu daring him to finish his sentence. "Shut up! I''m helping you to learn your chakra sense and here you are playing with me! If you dont really wish to learn then maybe you should go around with only your taijutsu!" Her emotions flared in anger. It was nighttime anyway she should be sleep!


    "Yes sensei-Enai." Pushing down the urge to go let it out on a tree. Our previously high school teenager decided to focus on sensing chakra.


    10 minutes later he felt it. It was like water. When his consciousness reached to touch the energy it felt like water between his fingers. ''Sort of like a rushing stream of sorts'' he sensed it but nothing happened. He took it in with smell, touch, sight, taste, he could hear it running. No it was like a wave. And still nothing happened. It was just there. He felt he could do a jutsu if he tried but it was something.. Awkward. It didn''t feel fully intimate with his consciousness. ''Maybe I should try to assimilate it with my conscious some how. I don''t know but I feel like I could do it.'' He tried the way he felt he could and felt something happen.


    Sasu slowly stopped feeling ''normal'' as more and more chakra joined his consciousness like his very own sea. He felt attachment to it grow until it felt normal.

    ''Seems simple enough'' Sasu waved at empty air as instructed. He still hadn''t opened his eyes and chose to wait on the safe side. ''I feel I can trust her and the notification seemed urgent enough. Following what happens in novels this is the best way I have to avoid a catastrophe.'' A few seconds later the blue screen faded from existence. Once this was done Sasu felt like that was meant to happen and opened his eyes.


    "Why are you waving?! Do you feel it yet!" Enai inquired about the chakra agitated clearly unhappy with being ignored.


    Sasu could clearly recall faintly hearing her voice while he was reading the message from the blue screen. ''Maybe she thinks I ignored her.''


    "Sorry Enai. I have managed to sense chakra. I think I can manipulate it to an extent." Sasu apologized sheepishly closing his left eye and grinning while putting out his tongue. And scratched his head.


    "Huh" Enai expected this guy was talented but to comprehend chakra so effortlessly in such a short span of time was not possible.


    "So you understand chakra manipulation right?" Enai asked him in disbelief.


    "Yup I''m ready to learn signs now and probably some of your jutsu?" Sasu hadn''t expected the blue screens too act so soon but that didnt mean the timing wasn''t good. Now he good learn hot to use his jutsu. In fact if he knew the hand signs he could go from there. Not to mention he wanted to immediately move on to hand seal combat. He recalled his time on earth when he watched the final fight between sasuke and naruro. ''Fighting with hand seals is more thrilling than normal combat!''


    "Okay how about we test that now?" Enai put her hands together performing the necessary hand signs before letting out a fire ball. The fire ball was aimed at Sasu before it Hit he recalled bit of instructions given to genin nin of naruto. ''So you apply a little bit of chakra and...''


    BOOM


    Upon impact the fireball exploded leaving a good sized crater as fire and only Sasu remained.


    ...


    ..


    .


    15 seconds later Enai and Kiriya heard a log drop then they heard someone quickly catch their breath in the trees behind them. And there at the edge of the forest in the trees the saw a boy on fire dropping the snake hand seal.


    "Kawarimi.." He muttered. Falling out of the tree off the branch he appeared on the exhausted boy fell to the ground making dust come up.


    "Sasu!!" Kiriya screamed in distress. She immediately ran at him. Tears forming in her eyes she dropped to her knees by his side. As he was still on fire she hesitated before grabbing his head and raising his upper body holding him in her arms.


    "Hey hey calm down, he isn''t screamin'' so why are you. Seeing as he isn''t dead and he''s constantly healing him self and everything I think he will be alright won''t he? So get back you or are you trying to actually burn your self?" Enai said as she join her friend as she cleaned her ear with her little finger.


    Kiriya glared at her friend before she began to rise up putting down Sasu. The fire had burned her clothes and her skirt was scorched as was the mesh leggings she wore. Bits of it disappeared as her long blue hair was singed at the tips. Kiriya glanced at Sasu before. Glaring at her best friend. "After all these years Enai you still haven''t changed! You are so reckless you are really so stupid! As torwa Said in our past you couldn''t think your way out of a goblins den! because you are too-"


    "Stop there." The burning male spoke before as he slowly came to a stand still on fire. The fire was dying gradually as he spoke. "Don''t say something to your friend you will regret. As for me I was the one who was crass. I didn''t speak properly and was disrespectful. Its was dishonorable to boldly claim I knew what was what when I had yet to learn what it was."


    They looked at him with stupified looks on their faces before they could act Sasu already bowed his head in apology. He didnt completely believe it was his fault. It was definitely Sensei being too crass as her friend said. He simply didn''t want to waste time. Or maybe he was a bit soft-hearted when it came down to friends. Maybe this was a way of thanking them. Who knew?


    Coming out of their shock they both reacted too his sincerity almost simultaneously.


    "No I''m sorry maybe if I reacted more quickly." Kiriya apologized


    "You are correct of course. Lets move on to learning hand seals at this rate you will be signing in no time by sun rise!" Enai said with a confident grin.


    "Are you sure?!"


    "I mean you did use my kawarimi after only seeing it once." Enai snickered. As Sasu laughed awkwardly at his childishness.


    Enai nodded as she encouraged him once again. "It''s okay. Take your time and I won''t have to punish you again."


    Nodding Sasu noted his arrogant and lax attitude had been completely nullified by these two. What caused it? All this sheepishness was an entirely new concept to him. He has always been lazy and arrogance happened somewhere along the line. But those were completely normal. ''Maybe it''s these two. After All I didn''t really interact with anyone for a long amount of time. I quickly ended things to get back to sleep.''


    "Well shall we begin part two of your training?"


    "Yes sensei!" Sasu responded energetically. Now completely healed again clothes as well.


    ~~~Pov switch


    ~


    From the trees further in the forest a jonin in a green jumpsuit and jonin vest observed the students from a distance remaining undetected. Even when Sasu was burned his frowning on increased as he was ready to leap in at the slightest hint of betrayal. If Sasu would have retaliated he would be down to the scene in seconds ready to beat him within an inch of his life.


    "43- million 500 thousand 346... 347.. 348!" Behind this jonin was lee. Guy''s number one pupil. He was in a handstand doing pushups on one arm.


    "Guy sensei is that him! His flames of youth seemed to be ready to go out but at the final moment they came back brighter than before! Isn''t that good!" He asked energetically still working on his pushups.


    Turning toward lee he responded. "Its perfect lee! I couldnt have said it better my self now why don''t you run fast as you can around the village again to reignite the youth in your legs! And look I got these new weights that are around 7000 kg per band!"


    Crying anime tears lee hopped up and was standing on his legs before guy as he said. "You have that much faith in me sensei?!"


    "I do lee. Now go let your youth burn quickly or the flame might go out." He said as he placed a hand on Lee''s shoulder. He gave a confident smile as lee turned and took off running at high speed.


    "I won''t let you down sensei!" He ran with a happiness that only came from having a teacher who had faith in his students.


    "AND IF YOU ARE MOVING TO FAST APPLY THE OLD WEIGHTS WITH THE NEW ONES!!! IF THE CHUNINS CANT SEE YOU THEN YOU''RE MOVING TOO FAST! THAT MEANS ADD ANOTHER 100KG!!"


    "YES SENSEI!! MY FLAMES WILL NOT GO OUT THEY SHALL NOT EXTINGUISH BECAUSE OF A FEW POUNDS!" And like an idiot he disappeared from view.


    ''now that idiot pupil of mine shouldnt be back for some time.'' He thought as he turned to face the genin battling against the Sasu. His eyes widened as he never would have suspected what his eyes might find.


    ''Shit.''

 Ch 10

    Silence washed over the two both remained unmoving as they stay stared down one another.


    Only a minute prior kiriya had participated in the hand sealing lessons so that Sasu could have both perspective and while having an energetic battle freak as teacher is good. Having someone take the time to calmly explain was also good.


    The lessons from the two only lasted an hour with small examples, explanations on combos and the use of hands signs. Enai also added her own experiences while explaining how to sign and possibilities of it.


    Taking in this knowledge was no real challenge to Sasu. He took in all they had to teach him in one hour. Now he was ready to put it to the test.


    Enai also asked Sasu to perform the fireball jutsu she used on him. He had no trouble at all and even managed to drop it to just a few hand signs. Causing doubtful ambiance to become one of shock. Kiriya and Enai almost fainted hearing his next sentence.


    "Fufufu I feel like I can do it with a single seal now. My power will soon reach over the boundary of 9000."


    Enai had almost asked him to train her but had stopped her self. She still had yet to finish confirming her student fully understood her lessons. Which brings them to where they are now.


    A tense atmosphere began to run over the area as Enai took a few steps back. She lifted her hands removing her band from her hair letting locks fall free. Shaking her head she used a hand to straighten her hair which was now free of its bindings, but now all over her head. then her attention went back too Sasu, he never felt it truly leave though.


    "I will be honest with you don''t expect me to go down easy. I have alot more experience than my looks would tell. Take my current form with a grain of salt." Enai warned Sasu as the air around her changed to something serious. Wind blew through this atmosphere.


    Looking at his teacher now serious, he noted she dropped the child''s mask she wore and now seemed more of a woman chalk full of wisdom with experience.


    "I suggest you come at me with all that you have or so help you, ill put you in so many pieces I will have the puzzle gods working centuries to put you back together." Her tone was now different as well. Shivers went down Sasu''s spine before he crouched to a battle stance and took out the shuriken he took from the bandit.


    "it''s seems you have composed your self." Enai looked at him and closed her eyes. "Are you ready?"


    "I''m ready-" Sasu intended to say this but found a blade in his throat. Looking in the direction of the arm that held it he only to realize the distance between him and Enai shrank to nothing. Her Kunai pierced his neck before she lifted her leg. He was sent back with a kick some meters away leaving them at another small distance from each other.


    "Heh!" Sasu grinned and stood proudly. He look back at his teacher as he watched her pull a projectile from her shoe before putting her foot to the ground again. With a few test stamps of her shoe she confirmed it would be no hindrance.


    Looking in her pupil''s eyes she could see along with the atmosphere he had before of a reckless fool his soft, not harsh nor heroic. Less kind maybe yet still kind. Gone was all that. It was slowly disappearing as arrogance crept on his face.


    "I suspect you would like to try something like that again no?" Sasu grinned as if he had just successfully cornered his prey.Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original.


    "That was some stunt you pulled attacking me when I had not expected it." He cocked his head to the side as he said. "Nice try but that certainly was that final time." He softly mutter the name of his new ability full of his intent.


    He slowly closed the distance on his target with conviction. His steps almost seemed to have the ability to part sea.


    With a mocking glare he stopped a few steps from his target. Although no struggle was apparent he could tell Enai was trying to fight. Fight and unstoppable force which kept her under strict control.


    "Speak." Sasu said simply, In his mocking arrogant tone.


    Enai''s eyes flashed questioningly before she stuttered "uhh." She was fighting to move since the time she noticed the arrogance creeping on his face. This all gave her a bad feeling. She glanced over at her long time best friend. With urgency, fear, regret all in her eyes she said a single. Meaningful word. "Run."


    Kiriya stood in place torn. She couldn''t decide whether to aid friend in battle or run for her life. However in the end she couldnt abandon her. Yet still she knew resistance was useless hence there she dropped to her knee sitting in tears.


    Sasu didn''t so much glance her direction. His attention was wholly on the sole target in front of him.


    Sasu cracked his neck arrogantly looking down at his opponent. "Fool me once. Shame on you. Fool me twice. Shame on me. It never happens again. Do you know why?"


    "Please-" Enai attempted to reason but was interrupted as Sasu held out his hand in front of her. In her face the temperature dropped as particles so transparent they appeared as water gather in his hand forming an elegant grandly adorned dagger of ice and frost. Both lined the blade as snow was abundant at the handle. Sasu gripped his new sword before flexing his grip. With a few test swings he nodded.


    Sasu studied his weapon a bit more before looking at her and with mocking intent he said. "Hey. What was that?"


    Before she could answer his blade followed his arms as he swung horizontally. Just before the blade could remove her head a figure appeared.


    Blocking the dagger with his ankle weights using his raised leg. It was guy the Green beast of the village hidden in the leafs. Guy narrowed his eyes with an expression of ''I knew I was right all along about this stupid kid''


    Sasu''s heart pounded as this jonin seemingly appeared out of thin air. ''Fuck, he exposed one of my trump cards now this piece of shit is getting in my way!'' Honestly Sasu had not planned to reveal his regeneration ability in the leaf but as it went this green clown already told the head of the village! From the lack of surprise of the genin here he concluded word of his regerative was already out. ''Fuck it. This clown can die.''


    Sasu reassumed the his grip on his blade before he looked at guy with a stupified expression warranted by the jonins last sentence.


    "I suggest you come quietly. I have watched you all this time. Attempted murder on a leaf citizen. Betrayal of the leaf, breach of contract, disrespect to your temporal sensei, attacking your sensei, mutiny, stolen clothes, stolen shuriken, stolen mask, stolen money straight from the hokage! Further more you infiltrated the academy, you attacked a student at the academy, you threaten the life of young shinobi full of potential, you restricted your sensei''s movements, you are a molester!!! Rapist, attempted rape." Pointing a finger at the crying, wet Kiriya he began anew. "You burned a student at our fine academy, you potentially could have burned others in the village." Shock washed over Might Guy as he seemed to recall something. "You hit the student hands with a ball!!"


    Sasu could''ve sworn he felt like he would die before this guy decided to shut up. His patience withered as guy spouted more and more nonsense. Sasu caught the silhouette of a persons leg snap at him from the corned of his eyes.


    At the last minute Sasu sword arm blurred as it flew to hack off guys leg. But it was a feint. Guy twisted his body before his kick could connect withdrawing that attack an kicking out again with his other leg. With his free hand Sasu perform the boar hand seal. He immediately vanished in a smoke screen before it cleared revealing a log. The log splintered as Might Guy missed his original target. Turning as if some monster from an rpg guy faced Sasu again.


    "I WILL FIGHT YOU WITH MY YOUTH! DONT EXPECT TO ESCAPE THIS VILLAGE IF YOU MANAGE YOU WONT BE INTACT! I WILL DISLOCATE ALL OF YOUR LIMBS TO PROVE MY FLAMES OF YOUTH!" Guy threaten Sasu before he crouched then vanished in the direction of his target.


    Sasu mentally rolled his eyes. This fool was killing the mood. He didn''t know whether to laugh at this ridiculous jonin or cry that he may have gone overboard. ''Well until I can make up my mind about this situation.'' Sasu hand lifted as guy appeared before him.


    "Kawarimi." With a hand seal Sasu vanished in a cloud of smoke.

    She was surprised. She was indeed shaking yes. But she would never say more than that, she was far to proud. Though underneath all that, she knew it was true she was afraid, never in her lifetime had she been caught like this. All she could do was move her head. Everything else? ''What the he''ll is this?!'' She thought with grim fear bubbling inside. ''What did he do? I can''t move at all!'' she couldnt even move.


    In her peripheral she saw a spider web of cracks spread on the ground before it cratered. On the center was the Jonin beast of the leaf and some mysterious boy under calumny of treachorous action against the leaf.


    She honestly found them ridiculous. ''I mean hitting someone''s hand with a ball? Seriously? Did the person involve even complain?'' It could have been just passing the ball is what it sounds like. And is stealing coinage from the hokage even possible with all the anbu around? I mean she''s a power house and can easily dispatch over a thousand nin in minutes.'' Enai didn''t believe it for a second.


    Her termporary apprentice and an advanced jonin cratered the ground with kicks. Guy appeared before Sasu with a snap kick, Sasu countered with his own kick causinging the ground beneath to sink a few inches under their bridge made with their legs. The force caused a ring to expand outward as a result of the force. It expanded from the center of impact where their legs met.


    She watched Sasu twist his body, swaggering his leg into Guys gut. Guy keeled over and Sasu pressed the attack and send his open hand to the jonin''s head which guy avoided by shifting to the side. Sasu sent out a small barrage of sword hands which were easily avoided by Guy by simply shifting. Guy countered this barrage with a round house kick sending Sasu flying. Or so one would assume.


    Sasu disappeared in smoke before being replaced with a log. ''Where'' both of them asked and checked there surroundings before Guy felt heat from above. Enai saw Guy suddenly look up and followed his eyes finding Sasu launching a uselessly huge fireball. Around 30 meters wide and if it hit she would be caught int the blast too.


    ''What is this!?'' Enai was looking grim. She didnt know what to do shd couldn''t move yet as Sasu had yet to release her from his weird jutsu.


    "Enai!!" Kiriya cried out to her.


    Enai turned her head to find kiriya running at her. What the hell? She should be running away!


    "Get out of here kiriya!" Enai ordered out of concern for her long time friend.


    "But you-" kiriya persisted.


    "Don''t worry about me! Ill come back to you so get out of here!" Kiriya began tearing up again and tears dripped down her face.


    "You are lying and you know it! This blast will kill you! If you died then what will I do? Are you going to just leave me all over again?" Kiriya looked extremely torn. Her cheeks swollen as hot tears streaked her face.


    Enai''s heart pounded as her heart leapt in her throat, she felt the weight of those words as flashbacks of their past played over in her mind. Cruel sacrifices, uselessness, regret. It was happening all over again. She bite back tears as they fought to surface from her eyes.


    "Must I really say it again. I''m all to aware of our lives in the past. And just like in the life before you will really have me repeat those cruel words? Do you remember them? What I said to you before I died. Please." Enai was begging. Hoping kiriya would just run. ''Dont you stand here and die before me. I don''t know what I would do if you died. I would be really sad. Please dont break me!'' And then as if answering her prayers.


    Kiriya bite her tongue till it bled before she said. "I understand." Kiriya turned and left with meaningful words to her friend. "Lets meet again. And next time. I won''t have you die alone. I promise!" Indeed Enai wishes were granted as kiriya ran away. Enai turned to face the blast with apprehension. ''In my last life I steeled my self in front of death. This time.. I dont deserve..''

    "Hey teach! Sorry I''m late." She heard a familiar voice from her side causing her head to turn at break neck speed.


    "I''m sorry I did indeed go overboard but.. Ahh~ there''s no excuse." He said. She found a nin in dark black clothing with hair as black/dark as the void. She saw Sasu at her side. She felt several emotions at once upon seeing him. Fear, apprehension, wonder, and maybe most of all question.


    "Please forgive me~" Sasu begged her forgiveness. She could feel the sincerity in his voice. The regret in his apology. She gazed into his eyes realizing they were once more, soft.This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.


    ''Why?'' She shook her head. She knew why so she decided to change the question. She wanted to ask why he fought her but she knew. So she would ask "Why have you come back?" She lost eyes contact as her head drooped. "I saw your eyes, you were mad. You have no reason to save me-"


    Sasu put a finger to his lips and mouthed quietly "Shhh." He gave her a kind smile when he said "We must move quickly. Actually now." He picked her up in a princess carry an as soon as she was in his arms their scenery blurred before it changed to some place further from the academy to some roof tops in the village.


    ''Haa? Why are we here?'' Although the fast movement and did leave her a bit.. Discombobulated..recovering wasn''t so hard. She had experience.


    In one direction was the hokage tower, a short distance away from them. And behind her was Sasu. "Why haven''t you let me down yet?" She said.


    "Oh, its just that I was under the impression you wanted to live. Did you not want to see kiriya again? Or sensei do you want to wait for the after life." Inquired Sasu raising an eyebrow.


    "How?" Enai inquiried.


    "Look down." Sasu said.


    Looking down Enai gave a pitched ''yeep'' before she heard a laugh. She turned on Sasu fixing him with a glare. He took it a responded "Sorry I just couldn''t contain my self." She glared into his eyes before he decided to change the topic. "He''s still alive." Sasu said descending to a roof top.


    "Huh" Enai responded in surprise.


    "I didnt kill him. Though I am sure I could one way or another I didn''t." Sasu told her.


    "Why?" Enai asked him she wouldn''t question the killing a jonin part. Her tolerance for surprise was nearing its limit. Though she may look like a kid and is a genin she''s lived to long for this life of surprise to come now.


    "If I kill a jonin in the leaf what do you think will happen as a new comer?" Sasu asked her.


    Enai didn''t take long to think before she said "Oh!... But why is he targeting you like that? And all that stuff he said before.." Enai asked intrigued. What could this boy have done to get on the wrong side of a jonin?


    Sasu rolled his eyes upward before he looked at the hokage tower in the distance. "Why does he have bushy brows? Why does his student have bushy brows?" Sasu asked his sensei.


    Her face gave a look of disgust before she said "I don''t know."


    Sasu chuckled while watching her expression and gave her a knowing look. Sasu felt a new energy approach and looked across from them. On the other end of the roof he saw Guy land from a front flip.


    Enai followed his sight and saw a slightly burned jonin with singed bushy brows.


    "Might Guy." With those words a tense atmosphere was once again realized. Enai looked at her protectors eyes to see they were not arrogant but they were firm. Sasu now wore a dignified air with promise. Sasu said "I suggest you stand down before you make a mistake. If you insist on fighting, attacking me as I have my sensei I''ll have to stop you with force."


    Enai watched Sasu checking for any sign of the monster from before but all she found was his honest desire to protect her. To not involve her.


    "Are you stupid son? Look I am after you. You are under arrest. Put the girl down. This is my warning. I suggest you obey because.." Might Guy''s hair blew in the wind as he said "From here I''ll no longer treat you with the consideration of a child. But this will be reshaped into a mission. Of the highest rank." Guy warned with his serious countenance changing to deathly. Promising death.


    ''Huh'' he had to be kidding. Why is he getting serious with a child? Furthermore isn''t this too much? From many views guy was over exaggerating things. His reaction is over the top. He said this would be his mission. Are jonin allowed to do that?


    Wind blew through as the three stared one another down. Blood was boiling for the jonin and Enai held her breath as these two beared down on each other with malevolence.


    She watched this before suddenly Sasu closed his eyes and moments later they opened. There she found his eyes as resolute as ever. Being so close to Sasu she felt admiration for him. She began to feel as if she could also take on this monster.


    "Stop." Sasu faced her. Without her realizing before her hands began to move as she was steadily rising from his hold. She stopped her unconscious movement and resting back against him once again.


    "Guy. If this is the sort of tact you have as a leaf shinobi I will lose all respect for you. I have warned you already. I won''t repeat my self." Sasu turned and started to walk away from Guy but before he could take a full step.


    "Gate of limit.." Guy muttered which caused Sasu to turn when he did, Guy said. "Fifth Gate: The Gate Of Closing OPEN!!!" Enai watched Guy energy explode out of him. Guy screamed his technique to the top of his lungs and that''s when she heard a sigh.


    "Foolish." Sasu said listlessly. He watched as Guy vanished from where he stood on the roof tops before appearing few inches from his face, drawing ever nearer and letting loose with a punch.


    ~~~

    ~


    However he never close the distance between them. Guy was now stuck in place unmoving. Walking around Guy Sasu stopped when he faced his back. At guys back particles as transparent as water gathered before forming the same Godly dagger from before. With out a free hand to use Sasu was left with his skill to manipulate his chakra and his element to use to control the weapon.


    "Sasu." Enai called silently


    Figuring she was referring to the act of killing the crazed jonin. "I know.." Sasu said. As he made the blade go forth.


    But suddenly from the corner of his peripheral he saw a blue ball of energy come his way. With a split second to react all he could do was raise his hand and coat it with all the chakra he could gather. Which was fortunately alot.


    Quite unfortunate though Sasu was still sent flying.


    Enai felt her heart pound in that time. Causing her to shout his name but that was cut short as she felt herself jerk against him as he maneuvered in the air attempting to right himself. She almost fell when he adjusted his hold on her.


    GASP!


    she jumped in surprise as her concern shown on her visage.


    Sasu seemed to not feel it but with her experience she knew he was in a world of pain his entire right arm was gone as so his ribs were torn open and broken. You could see his organs in just a blink all of that disappeared. New flesh and back were his clothes that were mostly destroyed from the blow. And in entirely brand new condition as if they seen no grim, dust, sweat you would expect to find in battle. Even blood was gone from the clothing. ''This is regeneration.. Impossible.'' Enai eyes went upward to her carrier as his eyes locked onto a blond haired ninja.


    The blonds anger was apparent and he said with a face that seemed to have previously been stricken with tears he said.


    "how dare you."

 Ch 11 (part 1)

    ~~~Pov Sasu


    ~~


    Sasu felt more pain then he ever felt before. When the attack hit everything seemed to slow down as the spinning ball of chakra sliced apart his chakra covered hand like paper before it all so slowly destroyed his skin, his flesh, and bones. It was a slow process to Sasu but he managed to hold in his anguish.


    While recovering he merely winced but he believe he hid that well when he adjusted Enai in his arms.


    He was worried about this girl but as they were still in the midst of battle he could not just simply put his sensei down and very well check her for injury so he could only hope she was okay.


    After regaining the use of two limbs he looked to the new comer who was a blond shinobi in a simple shirt and and pants. On his face were a set of whiskers situated on his cheeks under blue eyes. He seemed to have just stop crying some time ago.


    "You.." Sasu said. Sasu has been thinking about this for a while but.. First the hokage is tsunade. Then we have the genin naruto here in his teens, also he appeared to have just been crying not so long ago. It didn''t take Einstein to put it together to find out where he was and what time he was sent to. ''So apparently I''ve been transported to the time where jiraiya has recently been killed by pain.'' Maybe this would explain why everyone seems so tense. Or not ''but I can''t say Might Guy knew jiraiya on such a level. The anime had nothing on a relationship between the two. Maybe Guy is just weird?'' As awesome as Guy was in the anime on earth Sasu couldn''t disagree with the fact the jonin was overly weird.This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work.


    Of course he wasn''t ignoring the scenario that guy simply was upset an important family member to the leaf died and he did nothing. His reaction could be his intent to prevent this from happening again to anymore of the leaf. As they were his family this was a potential reason.


    He watched as Naruto took out kunai with an explosive tag on the end and and made six shadow clones each were in position with two clones behind the middle shadow clone As their hands were held out they began shaping A rasengan. Once they were finish the two clones behind grabbed the Naruto clone in front of them and like a slingshot they were catapulted at Sasu.


    Sasu quickly sifted through options before summoning his ice dagger. Failing to make another with out any real training for this techniqueb this was merely something he thought up on the spur of the moment before. In no time two rasengan naruto clones were upon him. Using his mind he made the dagger slash at them horizontally.


    "This!" Sasu shouted at the force of the rasengan. And understandably so his weapon was showing signs of breaking as cracks spread through it.


    He held for a few seconds before the sword broke. Sasu frowned at the two assailants as the rasengans pushed forth to impact him and Enai. With no time to think he could only hope his attempt to deflect the technique works.


    Sasu raised his left leg and kicked the clone''s right arm that held a rasengan into the clone next to him. The clones having been hit dispersed leaving behind smoke.


    Sasu took a moment to recover his breath when he tried he noticed a disturbance in the air above him drawing his attention upward to the blond who appeared in a position in the air above. Naruto couldn''t seem more like a tragic hero as he lifted, single handedly a giant rasengan over his head and swung down taking Sasu by surprise he watched the rasengan consume him with wide eyes.


    Naruto in his melancholy said "Sorry, I can''t say I''m sure what happened exactly but... I cant allow you to kill my friends when I can do something about it."


    ~~~


    ~~


    Sorry but uhhh.. Question to the readers~

 Ch 11 part 2

    The huge rasengan was cast down on the two nin by none other than the jinchuriki naruto himself. The blue, huge rotating ball of energy devoured both Sasu and co.


    Sasu''s vision was filled with blue before that blue suddenly was overcome by a familiar darkness.


    ''Ahh.. Is it over already?'' Sasu said as he noted the familiar surroundings he was here previously and has not even been gone from this place a full week yet.


    "So what happens now?" Sasu inquired to no one in particular.


    ~~~


    ~~


    I lay in the void drifting in darkness to no where nor do I come from anywhere. Its all the same; I feel no matter how far I drift I won''t get far nor does it matter the time, that''s just a feeling.


    Suddenly the memory of my few recent; small battles and short lived victories came to surface in mind. They situated them selves before me as screens; they resembled the films of an old theater. One of the films shown my efforts to subdue a white bear while from an outsiders perspective I would seem maybe a bit overbearing..


    *Screens shows clip of severing the bear''s head from its neck with minimal effort; blood covers everything as the severed neck spews blood dirtying a mysterious persons face*


    ''Okay maybe I did over do it.. But just a little..'' Sasu twitched as he was forced to change his choice words before the evidence shown by the screen.


    As if saying ''just a little?'' The screen changed once again it shown the time when Sasu ducked an incoming blow from the great white ''monstrosity'' before sending it lumberjacking via headbutts in fresh flight, Outright up rooting any nature its way during the flight_All this via driving a heel into its gut.


    "Ok." Sasu exasperated. "I admit I did that but what about those other ones did I really looks so.."


    In a second the screen was switched now displaying the time when I confronted Enai-sensei. Blood dripped down my neck and was ruining my shirt new black shirt and before long the same arrogant look I wore killing the bear was upon me once more. Perhaps even more sinister than the last..


    It showed me give my sensei a sinister grin as I shit talked her then favoring a domineering smile I mocked her until I was upon her again_also forming a blade of frost and ice I taunted her with a few test swings but I was responded to with fear and surprise. In the recording I practically relished in her fear. Her eyes shook in complete.. Utter terror and I stoked this trepidation. Then at the height of it all I swung my sword..


    "Haaa I look like one of those mad nobleman. I could perhaps even be mistaken as one of the guys in those wuxia worlds.. This arrogance.." I looked on in compteplation as it played the scene of me scaring my sensei shit-less.


    Okay the thing is even as mentally fucked as arrogant as I may seem, truthfully I don''t take well to scaring her to this degree. I mean she did stab me.. But she knew of my regeneration. My regeneration that Guy practically told everyone about.


    Sitting up to watch the screens my arms were propped up on my legs in a comfortable posture to more comfortable view the screens that had appeared before me. Finally I clench my fist as I recall everything involving the unreasonable treatment from the jonin in the village_ First of all exposing my passive ability. Then he proceeds to observe.. No rather he STALKS me as go around the village. Not even peacefully allowing me to learn from this villages shinobi! ..... ..further more.. what was he doing watching me in the academy? I was sleep..._


    Knowing very well efficient ninja must first gather valid information on a target I might understand but why could it not have been Enai? Or Hinata even would have been more fair!


    "Even Hinata the ''SSS'' class legendary stalker would definitely be a decent choice but why the hell was Guy and of all things a guy doing it?!" A tick mark broad on my face as my hand curled into a fist.


    "Where''s my respawn button!? I call for a second chance!" I yelled into the void in anger.


    ~"Laughs* Would I be right in saying this bile is directed at one of the bushy brows of the leaf? Much more specifically Might Guy maybe? Am I right?"


    There came a voice all too sudden from everywhere around, I knew it wasn''t near me because I was already twisting, looking in all directions for where this voice may have came from.


    "Here Sasu." the voice came from just just in front of me. In front of me is the girl same as before there was an elegant girl with a head of long white flowing hair. White..pale skin which beautiful fit her well. She looked healthy, her garbs were exotic black she wore a suspenion belt and a beautiful mini kimono of the darkest black exposed to the human eye.


    "Wow wow are we blushing?" The cute loli mused sitting in the the air across from me.


    "W-what! No I''m just angry-" I say. I sought to cover my abashment with this but it was a lie.


    "You are so cold Sasuu~" She said pouting as her cheeks went a slight tint in red.


    "You.. Who are you?" I said in a slightly annoyed manner.


    "Just call me goddess." She said smugly and waved me off in an offhanded manner only for a blue screen to suddenly pop-up in my face.

    "Blue screen! ...I assumed you were... I merely required confirmation." I said with kindness and familiarity. Closing my eyes I breath in the oxygen(?) From my surrounding. Opening them again only to see a beautiful head of perfect white hair crash into my solar plexus knocking the wind out of me.


    Weightlessness is what I felt as I flew threw the air almost half a mile before I landed on the ground(?) The feeling of laying against the ground was present and more so present than that was the goddess on my chest. She beat my chest with small hands as tears fell from her eyes. "W-what? What is this?" Shock was first.


    Furrowing my eye brows, I couldn''t understand what all this was about. "If this is a joke then I suggest that you stop." I said feigning anger.


    "You were scary Sasu." The goddess cried.


    As for me I was exasperated. "What?" I said. Indicating her head to rise, looking in my face through her mess of tears she began to collect her self enough to speak to me.


    "Y-your face!" She yelled making tears go many places. ''Boy, its a relief there''s no mucus.'' Wait what does she mean by my face?A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.


    "Huh?"


    "You looked like a monster!" She exclaimed.


    Does she mean when i was fighting Enai? I shook. As she looked like a kid. As some loli''s do. And while crying the looks became increasingly apparent. In response to this bodacious beauty I rubbed her head with a hand to calm her and look her in the eyes to show sincerity. "Sorry. I did not mean to alarm you. Please dont cry." I told her sincerely and gave her my kind smile while showing my concern.


    "Thank you." The goddess said only for a few seconds later my vision to be completely spammed with blue screens having wink and faces with their tongue out.


    "You tricked me!" I screamed in anger, sitting up caused her to slide her bottom from my abdomen to my pants. It wasn''t until after my stuttering an apology that I realize she stood up and started talking to me with her back turned. "Sasu.. There''s actually a reason why I have beckoned you here.."


    "..." My response..


    "Sasu I brought you here because I forgot to give you two more skills. Also I''m sure you may wonder why about 8 of the skill received were a repeat of the abilities and skills I have supposedly bestown upon you once you were last here."


    "..." I gulped as I nodded to confirm she was correct.


    She did not face me but she took a breath before she glanced back at me. "I gave you those skills and abilities to help familiarize your self with the ability your blood limit has already. Am I heard?" She elaborated on her actions.


    "Huh?" My response..


    She raised an eye brow. "Well the original agreement is seven skills upon one attempted, If you look here." She snapped her fingers before my skill/ability list appeared. "Your wish is still being upheld as you will see if you would kindly take a look at your status screen."


    I stood up finally with a ''hmm'' and analyzed my status screen before nodding. "Yes I see but why are a few skills violet?" I asked with eyebrows furrowed in confusion.


    With the blink of an eyes she faced me and began to explain the skills highlighted in another color.


    She gave an ''ahh'' and said "The skills colored violet are the skills you received of the seven you initially will receive."


    With hope in my eyes I told her "Please, might I be able to select my own skills?" But she crushed this hope.


    "No, the skills can be chosen by me but are actually completely randomised. If you don get what you wish for from random selection please take your argument to ''Luck''.


    ''Luck''? Could that be another being of power here in the universes? I wonder...

    <tr>


    <td>


    SKILLS AND ABILITIES~


    + Chakra gathering ~ allows host to gain chakra. Can be used to increase user''s compacity.


    + Chakra manipulation ~ control your chakra. Pretty easy right?


    + Freeze sense ~ all senses are heightened within your element, etc


    + Freeze manipulation ~ control and manifest your element, again pretty easy right?


    + suspension ~ control this thing! (Goddess of the blue screen Notes: I really am not sure how you use this so just control the thing! sticks out tongue*)


    + protection and immunity ~ you won''t be affected by your own moves no matter what so shoot your abilities without shilly-shally! You can hit your self on purpose though. I don''t understand why you said you wanted too. But to each their own!


    + Love for the cold ~ you can feel it! And you love it! Its home! This elemental won''t hinder you whatsoever! So fear it no longer! Xb


    + Perfect signs ~ signing is easy. Sign with greater experience than that of any ninja. I have nothing left to teach you.


    (Survival skills. Note: I recommend only using these in the worst case scenarios.)


    + Frozen Realm ~ make your own hell! Uses your chakra to freeze everything! Normally this creates a frozen area with a circumference of 120 miles. By pumping more chakra into the skill power and size will increase.

    So then this means that only one of the several skills has been selected.. I looked at my skill list in thought before Goddess-sama returned my attention to her.


    "The last skill is something I created which will give you a hand should you encounter trouble beyond your capabilities."


    "Then what are the two skills you mentioned you would give me before?"


    The goddess gave an ''oh, right'' sort of response before she snapped her fingers and a new blue screen appeared.


    <table>


    <tbody>


    <tr>


    <td>


    + Creator''s phone ~ talk with the goddess anytime now without the overrated blue screens their overused and are actually lame~ Just kidding! Blue screens are not invisible to people of the world so are dangerous to use.


    (Blue screens are actually those~ that incredible thing that everybody wishes for! =3)


    [Ps: don''t ask about the dangers!]


    + Elemental entity summon ~ okay brat, here''s how this works. You can summon anything you can think of with ALL of its traits and abilities~ but there''s a catch. Just as [Frozen Realm] does this also requires chakra. You will be charged chakra to summon and.... ..To maintain your summon Sasu!


    First of all the price to summon goes according to your chance of defeating your summons which are of course all very loyal to you! (Ok maybe not the strong willed with a clear conscious..but mad summons are now loyal hence you can summon undead.)


    Example: If you summon a skeleton Goddess-sama believes 100% you will emerge victorious, thus it takes 0% chakra to summon which leaves you to maintain it with merely a thought. Yet still these can become stronger like a skeleton peladin for example. This more depends upon its blessing but lets say you have 95% chance to defeat one meaning 5% chakra to maintain it.


    Second is really this skill goes according to individual battles so you don''t need to worry about spam summoning. If you can kill a demon lord in a solo battle then you can summon it, this however doesn''t affect summoning two demon lords as long as you can subdue a demonlord in one verse one battles.


    Third is the element of your summons is your own element. If a Queen with an assassins class has lightning and fire then those are both eliminated and replaced with your element upon summoning. As experienced as she would have been with fire she is with your element now.

    Well...


    "That''s one hell of an explanation Goddess-sama!" I read that and blinked a few times in disbelief. Does she know what she''s doing by giving me this? What''s going on in my Goddessess mind~ Haha~


    "Thank you I intended for it to be reasonable. I hope I''m not making you into a weak other worlder?" she said with a wryly.


    "Weak?" I was shaking. If this is weak then what is strong?! What the hell does a goddess see as a strong ability!


    "Giggle* If it isn''t then let me know. Prove it to me and this is a good time to do it. Because guess what!"


    Hmm well if I''m not reading to much into things then.. "Well goddess-sama.." I gave a wry smile.


    She took a withering breath before she smiled and said. "Correct. Its time we part once more."


    Apprehension.. No.. Why is she hesitant? Looking her eyes I noted from the start they seems to appropriate for each case between us. When we met she had the eyes of seeing a friend after a long time. Which came to mirror my own feelings. I felt like its been to long since I saw her last. Then it came time for business and she perfectly acted out that role. Her eyes still had something behind them yet in this moment... It became even more apparent. "Goddess-sama are you alright here?"


    "I''m... Fine. Thank you Sasu." She said responding to my question absently.. Some thing is off here with the Goddess. I know it..


    "Goddess-sama...."


    Something seemed to happen in her mind and as if the gears switched again... "It''s time I send you back." She snapped her fingers and light erupted beneath my feet.


    "Goddess-sama!!"


    At the last moment her eyes softened and with one of the most sad smiles to ever happen on my goddesses visage she told me.. "Please keep in touch.."


    "Goddess-Sama!!!" And with a flash I vanished from her void awakening in anguish.. Woe.. ..... In moments the scenery changed. I was lying on the ground prone underneath rubble and debris.. Feeling constantly permeated in my legs only to vanish as quickly as it had come in one endless loop.


    Looking to my left..a broken wall. To my right was... Stairs inside a home which some lady screamed in terror at me before escaping upwards via those steps. And in front of me...


    "What is this before my eyes right now? You people dare.." I said menacingly as my eyes brows lifted in surprise before I frowned.


    The ninja present within the room look down at me. Kakashi had just made a chidori, naruto and his clones restricted Enai holding each four seriously hurt limbs to the ground as she looked at me in shock but just moments before she was struggling to get free at full strength. With the clones distracted she broke from her shock trying again to free herself before they refocused on her applying more force to keep her in place as three narutos stood before her and the supposed main one with his tragic expression unchanging readied another rasengan as his clones made the same oversized one as before in the main naruto''s hands. Sakura had somehow caught kiriya and was holding back both of her arms. Kiriya cried as she gave up a futile struggle.


    ''The hell.. Did I come back to?''

    I arrived here just in time to see a figure clad in black garbs and one of the most magnificent fox mask I ever lay eyes on. The mask was tied to his belt instead of on his face but before I could make clear ends he was sent flying on a crash course to some persons home.


    I glanced at Naruto only to find him in shambles, mentally he was really torn after the hokage announced the death of one of the greatest sannin who had ever lived in this world. Naruto really was shookin'' up quite a bit by the news I mean not really having family as he grew up in a village... Not so kind to the little jinchuriki. Those two really enjoyed one another''s company.. Naruto must have seen jiraiya as a father no maybe even an uncle if not close family he was definitely someone Naruto wouldn''t want to lose.


    There was still two buildings distance between us and the battle with naruto and the mysterious man. Guy said this was a kid though.. Still I cant waste time here.


    I hopped the two roof tops just as Naruto had descended in pursuit of his target. There was a hole in the roof and I landed on the roof looking in as I jumped down I found Naruto slowly approach his target holding a kunai with an explosive tag off to his side. The target prone against the ground out cold and unconscious as his damaged body already healed. as the girl he had in his arms was on the floor in front of him. Short on breath she gradually lifted her self from the floor and got into her battle stance and faced naruto.


    Naruto stopped before he looked at the genin standing in his way and said "Please stand down, you are not involved as far as I can tell. As a kid you should return to your family, I''m sure they''re worried about you."


    The girl shook her head. "You don''t understand, it is the jonin back there who was out of line.. Sasu did nothing wrong!" She shouted in defense of the mysterious boy.


    "Oh yea? And just what did Guy do wrong huh?!" Naruto shouted.


    "Sasu has not even been here a full day yet and he already has Jonin at his back! He hasn''t even been allowed to rest properly without that buffoon the leaf calls a jonin breathing down his back!" She shouted in anger. I did find her point but..


    "Then you won''t mind if I ask a question?" I entered the scene with friendly eyes drawing surprised looks from both faces. I approached naruto and stood near him before questioning the little girl. "Then please explain why he was aiming to kill you with some unknown jutsu." I tossed her a scroll I received from Guy he sent me via a messenger bird prior to all this.


    She eyes me carefully and I sent her a harmless smile. Upon opening the scroll the shock on her face became increasingly apparent, hands falling loosely to either side as she held the scroll in one.


    "So, would you explain that please? Or was Guy mistaken.. Perhaps my eyes are bad. What say you?"


    "This is false information." The girl rolled up the scroll before throwing it back, I caught it and gave an ''oh?''


    Drawing a kunai from her weapon pouch she said "Well first I am sure you heard the boy here has extreme regeneration.." I nodded as she continued. "In the practice match between the two of us I used a cheap shot and stabbed my kunai into his neck and that''s when he made a sword but only then and not before! So this is none of his fault!" She ran at us with the speed of an experienced chunin. This was surprising but more surprising was sakura appearing through a wall to our right.


    "So if I''m understanding all of this then he is pardoned for coming at you with the intent to kill? If Guy had not shown up when he did you would be in the after life instead of here kiddo." Sakura said as she made her own entrance stepping from past the broken wall. Sakura dusted herself off then narrowed her eyes at the kid who stood confounded at the appearance of her.


    "Leave now, you are not in any trouble so go, leave here and return home now. You did the right thing now leave the rest up too us."


    "You.. Its people like you." The girl walked up to sakura then past her before cutting into Sakura''s rib from her unprotected side. "Its people like you that annoy me the most!" Pressing the attack she kicked sakura''s now wounded abdomen_knocking her a few back feet to where she previously fragmented the wall with a fist_ and adding salt to injury she sent a barrage of fist into Sakura''s wounded abdomen. This knocked the already ill-balanced Sakura too the ground and slammed into the wall, because of the size of the person impacting it more debris fell. The girl shouted again in anger "I tried to talk.. No. I''m done talking. From here on I will make you feel pain good pain Through this pain I will acertain a clear understanding between us." She said with finality and pointed her kunai at Sakura while using her free hand she drew another kunai, putting her arm behind her back.


    "Don''t do this.." Sakura begged as her gaze gradually loss will in the face of the girl.This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    The girl said nothing as she relaxed her guard and turned her back on Sakura before Sakura let out a relieved sigh. Turning back with great speed the girl let loose with a kick already nailing her face. putting Sakura into the wall again.


    The ceiling shook as more of it caved in until the boy named Sasu was almost completely baried under the rubble.


    The girl lifted her foot above sakura''s gental area before stamping down with a chakra enhanced kick sending her into the ground. Not before the quiet sakura finally release a despairing yell of angst and fear.


    "Aummmmm!" Sakura screamed.


    "Wait what the hell are you doing to Sakura!" Naruto was stupefied as was I at the whole thing the entire time. ''Lady Tsunade will certainly not be pleased when she hears this.'' The girl looked at Naruto before he ran at her while performing the necessary hand sign five clones poofed into existence. Seeing she was being rushed from one side and was likely to be cornered from the outside she opted for a jutsu.


    The girl performed the necessary hand signs and sent a fireball at Sakura.


    "AHHHHHHH!!" Sakura was shouting in pain as she was now being burned to a crisp with a fire jutsu.


    Naruto after dropping to his knees he slowly stood up with a broken look reminiscent of the one he wore minutes earlier. His clones at his back needed no instruction as they began forming a rasengan in naruto''s hands. Two Naruto clones flanked the girl and the last two clones ran with kunai drawn keeping pace with the original. One of the clones reached the girl first in a reverse grips they clashed before the girl deflected one of the clones attacks and countered by getting in close and stomping Cnaruto''s toes and stabbing him viciously in the chest before he poofed.


    When faced with five different but life-like naruto''s an uncertainty reflected in her eyes but with renewed confidence she faced them again.


    "Oh god!" I shouted but I was to late to do anything as the girl turned to see what I was looking at which was Naruto with a tragic expression appear through the hole in the wall with two more clones in tow. Seeing the rasengan he held, appearing suddenly put the inexperienced genin in shock and before anyone could grasp what was happening the two tragic looking naruto clones apprehended The girl as the one with the rasengan thrust his arm forward having the rasengan explode on impact against the girl, she she went flying.


    "I... Apologise but... Your allegment is besides the point. I will be crystal clear here..your mistakes are inexcusable. Are you prepared for the repercussions." Naruto stepped on to the scene with steps most present began to dread. Tragic naruto moved through the large hole in the wall before glancing back at a clone who took the hint and began to helping out Sakura. After a few seconds a green light shun from Sakura as she started her healing process. Tragic naruto looked around before walking up to the girl who was suffering from serious injuries and wounds from a rasengan. The tragic naruto gazed at all the narutos present drawing their attention as he stopped in front of the girl who was now frowning at him with a pained expression as sweat dropped from her face. Taking a head motion from the tragic naruto as the signal the four clones approached the girl with a mix of listlessness and some stoic expressions. Those four clones beat the girl senseless before she lie there weak with ragged breath. Coughing up blood she glared at the tragic naruto.


    ''So it seems the one with that pitiful and gloomy look is the original'' I concluded. I''ve never seen naruto like this so for right now watching and then interfering when things get out of hand seems to be a wonderful choice.. I pulled my porno book out to read while observing how my student took care of things.


    Tragic Naruto turned to Sakura before checking her condition. "Sakura.."


    "Y-yes I-I''m fwine naruto." Sakura was indeed showing a strange expression on her face as her eyes were glassy she was back in good condition but she was sitting on her hunches instead of standing. Her face had a naughty expression with a light blush in her cheeks. Sakura''s hands folded between her legs.


    "Okay.." Tragic naruto looked her over once more before turning to face the girl and his clone platoon once more.


    "Hold her.." Naruto said apatheticly. Each of the little girls limbs were soon restricted by each individual naruto clone. Glaring at the cruel blond headed shinobi as she looked up to him she said "What will you do?"


    "You will be punished.." He looked at her with cold eyes.


    "Why?" She said with out thinking and regretted it but was surprised by his dejected answer.


    "You harmed.. My Sakura."


    "W-Wha" The girl seemed to go into thought a brief moment before saying.. "We were just playing. I meant no harm to her"


    "Oh..." Naruto said before he nodded to the clones beside him as he reached his hand out.


    The two clones went to Naruto''s out stretched hand before using their wind chakra nature to form a rasengan in his hand.


    "I hate liars." His tone was cold as if on cue the rasengan expanded into the familiar giant of before.


    In resignation the girl shut her eyes before opening them, giving the tragic naruto one last glare.


    "Do it.."


    That''s when a kid sprinted in.. "ENAI!!!"


    ''Oh shit'' I thought... "Sakura grab her. Quickly!"


    As the kid brushed past Sakura, she leapt up and caught the kid before she was out of reach. Struggling to get free of sakura the kid stamped Sakura''s toes crazy and shook, twisting her body trying to work free.


    "Mhn!" Sakura moaned


    "Stop I caught you already." Sakura said as she bite her lips with an eye closed holding back a cry.


    "Kiriya!!" The girl naruto apprehended called stopping the new girls'' struggle but the one who seemed to be called Enai began struggling with all she had against the four naruto clones.


    The girl called kiriya looked around before an understanding reached her eyes as she put an end to her futile struggle, her arms falling limply to her side. Tears welled up in her eyes before they fell and she began to cry.


    I looked at everyone and thought carefully about how we got to this point. When looking at it all I believe I am a good sensei with what do you say... Amazing students with bright futures ahead huh? I smiled kindly.


    Then against all expectations the boy spoke.


    "What is this before my eyes right now.. You people dare?" The boy spoke menacingly offering malevolence in his very waking.


    I looked at everyone.. Very much surprised to his awakening _ My students occupied I close my eyes and made chidori in my right hand_ I will protect my students.


    ~~~Kakashi Pov End

 Ch 13

    ~~~Pov Sasu


    ~~


    I don''t comprehend this situation - putting the situation into perspective naruto is going to kill Enai, while we have sakura holding reinforcements... All of this as a jonin sits near by reading porn and still hasn''t put the damn book away!


    I felt anger bubbling inside of me, the leaf would never allow kids to be killed in front of them and much less killing a kid like some pig. Naruto is the hero here right? Why is he holding a child at gun point. Seeing naruto about to let loose a giant rasengan upon the girl Sasu couldn''t fathom this - gritting my teeth I lifted my chin and looked at the enemy. One more chance..


    "Naruto.. What say you let go of my sensei?" I asked kindly.


    Naruto glanced over but kept his target in his peripheral. "Why are you making demands in your position?"


    "Listen Naruto.. If you let her go I promise you, you will be doing the village a favor." If I am honest with my self I still like the leaf village but albeit not my favorite but it was put in a good light plenty enough times for it to have a good name in my book. Although.. Novels uncovered scheme after time and time again from the leaf that wasn''t only concocted by Danzo but by hokage previous hokage. These schemes either involved Naruto being the black sheep and dying under harsh treatment.. To birthdays at a young age where he spent his time with a nose at his neck as he was beat, cut, and brutally tortured. The cases were too inhumane.


    Naruto gazed into my eyes with light query behind his eyes. "You.. What is she to you? Tell me if I''m wrong but you have been in this village barely even a day now." He pointed at her leaf head band. "And is she not a leaf shinobi? I have seen her around once or twice and this tells me that you should have no prior connection with this girl." Naruto glanced over to Kakashi.


    Kakashi nodded "That''s right naruto."


    There was an undeniable truth.. Someone who just met how could they have any feelings for one another? Yes they beat her and this was before my very eyes while I was sleep. This caused my frustration but that''s normal no one would be happy if they had this image before them. If asked do I like her I would certainly respond ''dont ask me questions that I don''t have answers to''


    "I will definitely save her. As she has nothing to do with this it was wrong of me to involve her. What''s more.."


    "You didn''t involve her she took it upon her self to get involved to save your ass and took down sakura while she came to your defense!" Naruto''s responded in anger.


    "She took down sakura? ...." I looked at the pink haired ninja. ''This same ninja who was the very same one who played a great role in the war to come against madara uchiha and obito uchiha. That very same sakura was taken down by a genin? ...no that''s wrong.'' I shook my head. ''The sakura haruno now isn''t on the same level as that sakura. Also the battle with pain hasn''t even begun yet.'' I look back to Naruto. "Naruto you do know that''s just a kid right?" This is ridiculous.


    "Sakura is not your run of the mill ninja. This girl made work of Sakura with ease and has the potential to take on a chunin ranked shinobi." Kakashi said walking toward my direction.


    ''Oh that''s right she is a chunin.'' I glanced at Enai again. ''So that''s where her confidence stem from.. Only a genin ranked shinobi and already at a level where she can challenge chunin.'' Looking at all the wounds on her again anger took hold of me once more. "Let her go.."


    Kakashi stopped in his steps while looking down to where I am. ''Man, being looked down on is so annoying.'' "I am Kakashi hatake, the teacher of these fine shinobi. Unfortunately the girl will be taken custody of. We really lack control over you and as such we need to take extensive measures until you are finished in aiding our village Enai and Kiriya will be held by the leaf officially for obsidatus purposes." Looking over to Naruto her said. "Get rid of it."


    Naruto grinded his as this went against his own intentions. "Kakashi.. Your argument is understandable.. However, I find it unfortunate because this girl has buried herself under folly on her own. Her deed is inexcusable rendering you''re request implausible." Naruto said as he casted the rasengan down.


    Enai was eyeing me with an unsure look and kiriya was crying out every last tear drop.


    In this case the unsure look was certainly out of the normal but with just a split second to react I did what I could before a light erupted from the impact- tremors shook the ground as a small aftershock shook everyone off balance or would have should they have missed the chance of using chakra to stabablize their footing- the house was more or less in ruin as the small dust cloud began to clear.


    "Cough*" with that the dust cleared it self completely as I was more or less alive in the middle of a crater. Every one stared on in surprise then I told them my major ass-pull-shit-eating skill with a grin. "You guys must be wondering how this became...this. It is simple." I stole a glance at a mystified Enai redirecting my sight at everyone. "I used the substitution jutsu and my chakra nature."


    I was given looks of disbelief as sakura glared and Kakashi shook his head. "There''s nothing here for you to use the substitution jutsu. And there''s no way you preped this area before this happened." Kakashi said in disbelief.


    "Ya, you did not get attacked at all who do you think you''re trying to fool!" Sakura retorted.


    ''Talk about an exaggerated response Haruno..'' I kept a smile. "The substitution jutsu is a technique that is used when attacked Haruno, that is correct but what do you all think of concept; how do you perceive the meaning of the kawarimi?.." This drew odd looks on the faces of everyone while naruto became stoic.


    "Y-you..Impossible." Kakashi muttered.


    "You used the damage you were receiving from the rubble as a substitute for a real time attack.." Sakura deducted.


    "Brilliant Haruno." Giving her a kind smile I applauded her. "That''s correct. I substituted real time damage with those rocks. By perceiving the rocks as an attack I used the substitution jutsu." I said in response to Haruno.


    "But explain to me why you ended up at the centre of Naruto''s rasengan." Said Sakura.


    "As I said already Haruno, that''s because I used my chakra nature." I said.


    "And what''s your chakra nature exactly?"


    "Exactly..?" I narrowed my eyes before lifting my left hand and looked at it. Looking back to Haruno my inquisitor. "I can''t answer that."


    "What?" Asked Haruno.


    "Because I don''t know.." I said to everyone''s surprise giving our listeners a shock. ''These people have great reactions... Or is it just because I am in anime now..'' With a grin- again I addressed the crowd while looking directly at Haruno. "My affinities lie not only in one element but in anything to do with the cold." Not to naively give out information about my self for I very well aware but for effect I made my sword out of ice and frost again. Again the entire sword from the point on to its hilt was made out of ice whilst the guard was made out of ice but covered in snow. The handle I held in my right hand was a grip covered with snow as well.


    "Ah" Haruno responded with surprise and fascination of my sword before Naruto glared and Kakashi''s eyes narrowed.


    "This sword is made of ice and snow... A product of my chakra nature. My affinities? Anything cold in nature is my guess." I said with a light smile.


    "Y-your chakra lessons.. began just a few hours ago." Enai said her breath short and ragged as she sat down leaning her back against a the wall near the stairs. The front door of the house was just across from the stairs and to the back of the house assumed to be the living room prior to was where Haruno came through a wall I assume she obliterated with a punch. Kakashi came from the kitchen and has recently chose to join us all in the living room where we now have all gathered with Naruto standing near kakashi.


    Kakashi eye upper lids followed his eye brows upward at the revelation. "Sorry but you learned chakra in just a few hours? How could you expect anyone to believe it?"


    ''Ah.. Something else has been revealed.. Nothing I can do for it now. Once I leave then I''ll go in to studying my abilities. As for real training I won''t. I wish to take my time and live a slow life.'' I scratched the back of my head sheepishly. ''I''ll ask once more..'' - "Kakashi." I said drawing his attention. "Please reconsider. Me and the village head have already established a contract. There''s no need to involve the girls in this and genin are not qualified for this. Is this not official business?"


    Kakashi gave me bit of a surprised look and said "you knew?"


    "Indeed I''d be a fool if I didn''t realize I was being put under a contract when it was just in front of my eyes." I retorted.This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.


    His widened again before he said. "..Your name is Sasu, right?" Kakashi asked me.


    "Yes."


    "Unfortunately I can''t. I cannot honor that request.." Kakash said and brought a change to the atmosphere.


    I closed my eyes as Sakura returned to the conversation. "Why not Kakashi? He has been humble and his words aren''t lies." She said.


    "I could not understand before but we need his ability for our village. With him we may stand a chance against the Akatsuki." Kakashi responded understanding.


    "Kakashi are you so low, that low a shinobi to act like orochimaru? We are not bandits kakashi we don''t bring people into our dissension and force them to fight for us! This is not their fight!" Naruto bellowed indignantly at kakashi.


    "Naruto I have my orders to follow now I''m going to give you yours. Capture him now and bring Enai with us. We are going to the hokage and we will find out what she says is our next step." Kakashi gave Naruto an order.


    "No way.. This is not my ninja way! This is insane. All of this to protect the village? And you and the hokage are willing to drag in two innocents to the fold!?" Naruto shouted angrily.


    "Naruto these two are part of our village, by helping they would be doing a service to their home. Its natural to be willful when in regards to the protection of those you love just as you desire to protect the leaf it''s all the same let these two become hostages to protect the leaf now go ahead and capture them." Kakashi said.


    "Kakashi maybe you hit your head and you need to lie down now. Did I not tell you no just then?" Naruto spared Kakashi with a jocular remark.


    "Kakashi-sensei Naruto is right maybe its because of you reading too much." Sakura chimed in humorously.


    "Yea Kakashi maybe you should stop reading so much of that ero-senin all of the time hasn''t gone to the right place eh? or maybe that erotic stuff keeps you up all night is that it?" Naruto added.


    "Erotic?!" Sakura squeeked out in embarressment.


    I opened my eyes to see personally Sakura act embarrassed and beyond all expectation it was certainly cute as expected. -In my past life a wish such as - experiencing the life of anime or being the character from a show certainly wasn''t unusual.'' I watched team seven excluding sasuke bicker like that for a while before Kakashi finally submitted.


    "So let them go kakashi." Said Sakura.


    Kakashi looked liked he''d given up on capturing us and using the two girls as hostage as he finally gave in. "Fine." He gave a winded sigh. "Lady tsunade won''t be happy you two." He told them but it was a bit late for it as they were already happily celebrating with a high-five.


    ~


    Sakura left naruto with Kakashi and went to check up on Enai. Kiriya who was released some time while naruto and sakura were mauling kakashi which in the end successfully worked. They will not have to go trying to capture these two Or thats how it is for now.


    Feeling an unexpected wave of relief I watched Sakura heal up our little saviour Enai. That feeling hit me pretty hard as next thing I knew I was on the ground. I sat there a bit stupified as I felt no exhaustion but still I know fatigue and what I was sensing is similar but as far as I know there''s nothing to it. ''Its maybe just the remaining parts of me that were a human born on earth. We tire pretty easily ya'' know? Mentally I am really underequipped for things like this not mentioning the earthly trained immaterial me.'' With that I''m sitting on my ass with a stupid look and laughing. ''Understandable, I guess retraining my self will be fun will it not. Perhaps I could take my self on a changed path in lieu of this old earthly one.''


    With each passing thought time went by before Naruto came to stand in front of me. With a sheepish look he scratched his head. "Sasu.." Snapping my head up I looked up to see Naruto "I apologize...blowing you up earlier was rather.. Well..." Naruto attempted an apology.


    I blinked at the apologetic Naruto, I hadn''t really been expecting an apology with jiraiya dead a reaction like his was appropriate when more of his important people were in danger. His power at that time was beyond my expectations I knew people in Naruto were holding back their strength most of the time other wise the rasengan that can splinter a tree wouldn''t just send a shinobi flying although methods to protect against such attacks aren''t unheard of.


    ''¨­noki... When I first talked to the goddess I knew there were some people who I couldn''t just over power with just a wish for instant regeneration. There are people in Naruto I expected could destroy me in seconds hence I made more adjustments to my instant regeneration ability among them a wish for high resistance to pain which was a given. When asked why not just wish for invincibility or something along those lines I retorted with "I''m not trying to live forever thank you." Not a complete argument I am aware but there are some things in life that keeps things live. More fun than just going around invincibly challenging opponents.


    So healing from a rasengan was natural after all. "Naruto don''t worry about it. Your reaction is understandable anyway. If someone important to me was in danger I can''t say my reaction would be doing nothing." I told Naruto.


    Naruto''s hand curled in to fist as tension flowed again. "I really thought you would kill Guy....I .. I can''t lose anyone else. I have to be strong enough to protect everyone important to me!" A resolved Naruto spoke before me.


    Honestly how could anyone not be glad to have a friend like this?


    "Your strength is definitely good but you need more." I told him. I was thinking of the fight that are to come which everyone lives are at stake.


    "You''re right."


    "Naruto and!..." Sakura came over and joined us as Enai and kiriya stayed behind where they were.


    "Sasu." I offered.


    "Sasu, Enai is all healed up and kiriya is alright to." She said.


    "Thank you Haruno. I really appreciate your medical ninjutsu." I gave her an appreciating smile. She blushed slightly "Its nothing. But what will you do now? after this living in the leaf I don''t think things will remain quiet for you much longer."


    I guess I will speak honestly.. Nothing will happen anyway. "I plan on leaving the leaf."


    "W-what? But tsunade made a contract with you right?" She said to me.


    Scracthing my cheek I gave an answer before glancing over at Kakashi to see the surprised jonin dramatic expression. "Yea, the contract.. The sentence is refusing to cooperate with the leaf I will feel pain after one week. And something terrible will happen a mere five days later?" I said. And stopped for effect allowing the suspense to give more feeling to it.


    "What." They asked simultaneously.


    "Five days later I might bleed to death. Approximately twelve days after failing to cooperate with the leaf." I said honestly.


    "What!?" They were exasperated and the girls look at me with looks of despair, fear, surprise. And Kakashi said "How did you know!?" With raised eyebrows.


    "I simply stood at the door listened. There was an anbu but he didn''t leave through the door so I can only deduce he left via body flicker or the window." I said with a grin as Kakashi looked at me with full surprise on his face.


    "Kakashi what is this!" Naruto yelled with rising anger.


    "Stop Naruto." I told him.


    "But-"


    "Your fight is not amongst your selves but with someone else right?" I said stopping him in his tracks.


    "He''s right!" Sakura exclaimed.


    Naruto released clenched fist and acquiesced.


    "It''s alright-" Kiriya cut me off. "ITS NOT ALRIGHT YOU WILL DIE DYING IS BAD!" She said in fear with new tears in her eyes. ''Where the hell are all of these tears coming from did you not cry already!''


    "Its alright, I have-" I attempted but was cut off when she cried "ITS NOT ALRIGHT-" she was abruptly cut short when Enai covered her mouth and asked me to continue.


    "Its alright, I''m not planning on betraying the leaf. Even without the contract I planned to help you guys out.. For a time." I said honestly as I slowly closed my eyes.


    "Why?" Enai said in confusion. ''Iguess she assumed I dislike the leaf.'' I looked at her.


    "I have people here in the leaf that I wish to protect." I said.


    "But you haven''t even been inside of the village a day yet you don''t know anybody yet. Although me and her introduced our selves at the academy its not like the leaf stood up and walked in to introduce them selves to you."


    "Wait, that right how do you know us? You''ve been saying my name since the beginning and narutos, Even Kakashi you knew correct." Sakura called out finally noticing something wrong.


    "Hey, thats right how do you know all of us?" Said Naruto curiously.


    ''I knew that this time would come.. But I have already prepared for this!''


    "You all have met me before but got amnesia somehow." I said with a bit of sadness. I hoped it seemed sad enough because I was suddenly attacked with my indolence.


    "Eh?" Enai responded with everyone having a similar expression on their countenance.


    "Hey, do you know what Kakashi-sensei face looks like under the mask then?" Naruto asked me humorously.


    "Yup." I beckoned them closer. Sakura leaned in and Naruto took a small step forward before turning his ear to hear me. "Kakashi really has huge red lips and monstrous teeth big enough to chomp a on trees. Tearing even big ones asunder."


    "Really?" Sakura eyes narrowed in surprise.


    "Naruto sent a fist into the air over his head and celebrated. "Yea, I knew it! See I was right Sakura?!"


    Sakura turned on Naruto. "Cut that out you idiot!" She screamed at Naruto. "I was right!" She said proudly stealing the credit.


    I chuckled at these two and smiled as the sun shone the the hole in the roof. ''Its setting already is it? The evening sun..'' Closing my eyes I took pleasure in the evening breeze that licked my skin. ''Ha. This time is actually best.'' This time is something I will remember..


    ~


    Slowly opening my eyes I looked up at faintly familiar ceiling. Memories of the previous day were called to mind as I recalled the long winding fight from yesterday and how it ended. Naruto is actually pretty powerful also team seven has people with a good heart - maybe it was the influence of the setting but Sakura and Naruto are heart warming people - after we finished talking I freed Guy from my ability but activated it in another fashion rendering him unable to attack me or watch me. No matter how hard he tries he couldn''t find me even if he looked at me directly. Any attacks phase through me as if I wasnt there to begin with so I''m satisfied.


    After everything Naruto and his clones began handling the destruction began handling the destruction and construction of the house as the actual construction workers stood back at a safe distance providing Naruto with instruction standing back in case one of Naruto clones poofed due to an accident.


    Me and Kakashi went to have a talk with Tsunade - Naruto and Sakura offered to come along but I declined and told them it was fine and thanked them for their kindness.


    The talk with Tsunade went smoothly and it seems I indeed have not breeched the contract. She said I was free to join team seven if I wished to but I refused. I prefer my freedom rather than extra work but if they needed help I wasn''t too unwilling if I was not busy already.


    Enai and kiriya simply went home after we wrapped things up although Enai insisted on coming to see the hokage with us I declined the offer and kiriya asked to come, I was a bit surprised but told her it was unnecessary.


    After thanking everyone we parted. Naruto walked with me and Kakashi for a while - when it came time for us to part Naruto extended my the offer of sleeping over at his place. I thought about and told him I''d stop by if I decided to. He pointed in the direction of where he stay and took off.


    ~Recount finished


    This morning I planned to enter the forest and view the training grounds with my own eyes with Naruto and Sakura showing me around. after a few hours that was done. Naruto left to go help with the construction and make more clones when they poofed or were short handed. Sakura returned to her training. I had my own objective.


    "Now what was it again?" I said as I left the Hidden Leaf Village. "My two new abilities wereCreator''s phone andElemental entity summon right? Lets test it out." I said vanishing deep into the forest.

 Ch 14

    Appearing somewhere deep in a forest was Sasu. He gazed at the familiar scenery which never seem to change yet it still never got old in his eyes.


    Sasu looked into the trees above where the sunlight shone through the gap between the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees. Closing his eyes for a moment as he walked he relished in the breeze that brush his skin while the sunlight warmed him.


    ''I can actually train my chakra sense with this.'' Sasu thought and turned on his chakra sense as he maneuvered forward through the forest.


    "Not using my eyes is certainly fresh to me. As this is the first time I''ve attempted it although it''s a bit different I think if I spend enough time with it I could use it regularly." Sasu said aloud with a smile.


    Soon the trees began to lessen this meant that there was a clearing up ahead. Seeing the lack of trees up ahead Sasu started thinking of what he would try to do first with his new abilities.


    Reaching the clearing up ahead he already used the creator''s phone skill to contact the Goddess who granted him this new life.


    ~ring


    ~ring


    "Sasu?" The voice came from the phone a bit surprised and the response came as if the call from him was unexpected.


    "How are you? Are you doing alright after I left?" Sasu inquired.


    "Sasu..I''m fine - I''m fine. Just... Thank you for calling." She said with relief in her voice.


    "Yes it does my heart good to knowing that.." Sasu said with a smile.


    "Sasu.." She called thought his mind via the creator phone skill.


    "Hm?" Sasu asked while lifting an eyebrow.


    "What were you doing out in the middle of the forest?"


    ''Oh..'' Sasu thought before he said "I''m here to test out my new abilities. I''m quite interested in trying the elemental summoning but I don''t know how to use it."


    "Oh, Sorry I forgot to tell you how it was used.. But wait how could you call me if you had not received my instruction on using the skill?" She said Sounding apologetic then dumbfoundly asked.


    Sasu shrugged and said "I don''t know.. Maybe I just really need to talk with you." His word drawing silence from the other end of the phone before he heard an embarrassed scream. '' was that her voice? Hm?'' He wondered. After the scream the sound from her end was cut and Sasu frowned.


    Sasu was ready to immediately hang up and call her again but stopped when he realized she''s actually a Goddess and the embarrassed scream let him know she likely wasn''t in any danger. Maybe..


    Hearing something rustle in the bushes across from him he saw a injured shinobi limp toward him. When it came closer he realized the various cuts and bruises on the shinobi and dull eyes with bones jutting out from its flesh.


    "A zombie eh?" Sasu smirked watching the approaching undead before five more joined and left the brush behind the first zombie and approach Sasu.


    ''The undead shinobi were already intriguing but a few more should make for good melee practice!'' With that Sasu took advantage of the adrenaline that rushed through his veins and charged the first zombie.


    Meeting the first zombie head on Sasu grabbed its head and pulled it to himself as he slammed his knee into its skull before back handing a zombie that was closing in on his left sending them both back before they raced at him.


    ''Good start but umm... I just remembered.. I''m not a martial artist.... ..tehe'' Sasu thought as he faced the zombies running really fast toward him. Catching him off guard a zombie appeared on his left and with no time to defend the zombie tore into him. With its claws it shredded his left shoulder before taking the time to stand still and admire Sasu - dropped to the ground performing a leg sweep. Grabbing the zombie leg mid-air he swung the zombie like a bat sending his zombie assailants flying as they groaned.


    Sasu made chakra claws by pumping his chakra through his fingers which soon covering them in a blue light. Swinging his arm he flung off at his target as they flew the claws changed into ice turning to ice - when piercing their target the zombies instantly slowed down and gradually became covered in a thin coat of ice.


    Leaving one zombie whom politely ignored all of that and ran at Sasu with a fierce hunger to it. When it was in range it drew a kunai from its pouch to Sasu''s surprise and wielding the the kunai in its right hand it thrust its kunai at his face. Just when the kunai got close Sasu shifted his head to the right avoiding the attack before he grabbed the zombie''s face with his left hand sending his chakra into it he combined it with his chakra nature freeze the last zombie.


    Taking a step back Sasu admired his work.


    One was frozen in mid-air from being thrown but fell to the ground mid-flight, three of them were frozen while they were sprinting, one apparently saw it coming and covered its face with both hands in defense but was impaled it being pierced through its left eye. And finally the last one with some level of intelligence was frozen in place while stabbing empty air with a kunai.


    ''What was that?'' During the fight Sasu temporarily forgot how to fight and defend as he remembered being a human of earth who had street fights before but still not a martial artist. ''That.. I can only hope it doesn''t affect me in battle'' Sasu thought.


    "Anyway what should I do with these guys?" Sasu said refering to the ice sculptures.


    ~Ring


    When he heard a tone as the connection within his mind was back hearing the silence from the other end.


    "Hello?"


    "Hey.."


    "Is every thing okay?" Sasu asked with a bit of concern.


    "Yes.. I am fine." Came her response through the creator''s phone connection.Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.


    "That''s a relief." He muttered.


    Hearing his reaction she said "Were you worried about me?"


    Caught off-guard by the question he said "No..yes I was actually." Answering honestly.


    She gave a shocked ''oh'' and said "So, Sasu does have a heart."


    Sasu furrowed his brows as he studied a cut wound that ran down over his eyes and cut diagonally across his face to his jaw. There was a vicious stab wound in its clavicle but it hindered the zombie none as it still managed to act lively when attacking. "What do you mean by that? You think that I''m a monster?"


    "No.. Just heartless." She said.


    "How am I heartless?" He said.


    "Sasu you remember that time you were on your way to school and you forgot you left the range on leaving home. You ran back but on the way encountered a street where an incident took place with the woman being hit by a truck. You saw the situation and you detoured running an extra three miles home instead of choosing to watch the woman get taken away like the rest of the crowd."


    "But the brownies and cinnamon roles could have burned." He said with a fearful look.


    "You''re sick." She said with fake contempt.


    "If sick is refusing to watch some dead woman be carried off somewhere then I''m fine with being sick." Sasu said.


    "That''s not what I meant."


    "The pastries were burning.."


    "That''s not it!" She screamed furiously.


    He shrugged as he let out a breath. "I have better things to do than trying to concern my self with a situation that doesn''t involve me. Rather than staring I could be doing something more meaningful."


    "And what''s that?" She said more delighted with his honest response.


    "A blissful evening in recline" he admitted while shrugging at the prying goddess. ''How did she know that.. Ah wait in the novels they usually know everything'' narrowing his eyes as he recalled a fact from his previous life.


    "Anyway I would like to know how to use that new summoning ability"


    She gave an ''ah'' and began teaching him his new ability. "Right I took into account plenty when I crafted this skill. You only have to know what you want to summon in mind, its position as in where you will summon it, and don''t forget to add chakra." She explained.


    "Wait, when I read it, it stated not all summons require chakra." He said a bit confused.


    "Everything requires something. Your energy will be used to initiate the spell and not only show the summon you are master but so that it knows your signature. Otherwise if you are not with the summon; it finding you will be a problem."


    "I see.." Sasu put a hand to his chin and went into thought. "Well, the area is too damn small for a dragon so it will have to be the skeletons."


    "Hey.. Sasu what are those things in ice?" The goddess asked curiously.


    "Oh you see them? Finally. These are zombies. They showed up when you cut the line - while you were gone I fought them in melee but with a new skill I created I froze five of them in ice." He told her what she missed out on while she was gone.


    ''But there are six..'' She noted as she gazed at the field of frozen undead. "Then what happened to the last one?"


    "Oh. That one." Lifting his hand he pointed to the zombie that still aimed its dagger thrusting it at open air. "That one equipped a kunai when it sprinted at me - in my surprised I shifted my head and avoided it at the last second before I put my hand on its head and froze it with a mix of my chakra manipulation and chakra nature."


    "Tch" he heard her click her tongue. "I thought I had more time." She said in frustration.


    "What?" Sasu heard her weird reaction causing him to respond instinctively.


    "This can only mean Sasu.. You''ve been found by it." She said


    "What? Found by whom?" Sasu spoke calmly.


    "Not whom. Or who for that matter. Its an it Sasu-kun" she said vaguely.


    ''This doesn''t answer the question..'' Sasu thought before saying "Is this the thing that actually has you worried Goddess-sama?"


    "Sasu... No. There is something that calls me. I must see to it." She said urgently.


    Sasu found himself getting angry but sadness overwhelmed him and heart crept into his throat. "So this is bye again?"


    "Yes.." Sadness could be heard in her voice.


    "How long will you take?" Sasu asked


    "I don''t know. I''ve been fighting it for years. At times I drive it back enough to do things like now. That is how I am able to speak with you like this." She said. "For now.. Please live. Don''t be overwhelmed by it''s spawn.." She said and the call ended. When the connection cut Sasu looked miserable, he wanted to help but he knew he just wasn''t ready to help the one who had given him life - a life worth living. Before he had nothing he wanted to put effort into in his past. But now he could do anything he wanted should he apply the necessary effort.


    Looking up at the sun in the sky Sasu noted that it was some time around noon as the sun was high the sky. ''Its twelve o'' clock, I should should take care and train my self until she returns.'' He said as he closed he eyes and cut on chakra sense. Just when he was starting to expand his chakra sense he received a pleasant surprise.

    Sasu thanked the goddess with great exhaultation as he read it twice in his mind where the screen floated in darkness. With wonder the dark haired reincarnator thought "Still, alot of this requires refined chakra. How on earth.. How in the shinobi world do I refine chakra?"

    Raising his arms Sasu waved his arms in front of him and waited before opening his eyes. After a moment the dark haired nin opened his eyes upon receiving the same feeling from before that told he successfully avoided an impending doom.


    ''Right I had almost forgotten that.''


    Looking up at the sun he found a setting sun as the gentle breeze past him kissing his skin. This was his favorite time of day - evening.


    Getting his head out of the clouds he looked forward.

    ~Sasu


    I was really happy that I spoke with her today; I am glad that she answered. Among all things I''m grateful for the abilities she been endowing me With. When I finished checking the time using the sky I decided to check my chakra gauge ability.


    When I thought of the skill I was confused on how to use it but then after testing a theory I added a bit of will and it activated.


    Appearing in my head was a percentage of 1000 chakra and next to it was the gauge for my amount of refined chakra which was 0 percent as of now. ''Hm.. Maybe I have to do it manually?'' With will I told the ability to refine 500 chakra.


    I waited a moment but felt no difference and decided to check the guage - I now possessed 500%/500% refined chakra. My normal chakra was 500%/1000% chakra but instantly refilled it self becoming 1000%/1000% chakra again.


    "Now lets hope this works-.." I said and disappeared without any indication I was there. Disappearing before I reappeared inside of a familiar classroom.


    ''Great! It works~'' I grinned and headed to the back of the classroom to my designated spot. Sliding in to a seat near to the window with the evening sun I opened the window for the gentle breeze to come in. I slouched in my seat enjoying the breeze that kissed my skin and put my feet up on the table in front of me.


    And while basking in the evening ambiance I fell asleep.

 Poll (offer stands for only a couple hours)

 Unsaid feelings that can no longer go unsaid (Ch 15 part 1)

    ~~Naruto''s Pov


    ~


    I couldn''t focus at all during the construction. After the fight we began wrapping things up but my mind never left - it couldn''t stop replaying the scene of sakura getting beat up by a genin.


    When I first saw it with these eyes I was angry. I was mad enough to truly hurt the kid who done it but now all I feel is worry, regret. I stood there watching the entire time, watching like some kind of by stander.


    ''I know! Ill head to ichiraku''s, Maybe I just need some ramen.''


    Making 15 shadow clones and just in case one of them poofs another can take up their slack. ''With this strategy the work can continue even while I''m eating ramen!'' Naruto thought and took off in the direction of his favorite restaurant.


    ~~


    "Boy that was good! Thanks again Ayame, ichiraku!" I thanked the best cooks in the leaf when it came down to ramen.


    ''Huh?'' Just as I left the shop I saw a pink haired person walking through the the village. "Sakura!" I called out.


    The pink haired turned out to really be Sakura. She turned around and started walking towards me.


    When she was close she stopped and asked with an irked expression. "Naruto where have you been-" then her eyes took spotted the ramen shop behind me. "Never mind. Come with me." She said as she grabbed my arm and pulled me along.


    Feeling like I had a hundred things to say - there were only a few things I really wanted to say but I chose one.


    "Sakura I wanted to apologize." I said and she stopped in her tracks and let go of my arm. "For what Naruto" she asked looking me in my eyes.


    "That girl from before.. I stood by and did nothing when it was getting bad for you. I was of no use to you Sakura." She said nothing but watched me as I lay bear what''s been eating at me non-stop. "That''s not all. I was there and watched it all happen. I watched her beat!-" She covered my mouth with a hand. "Think of where we are." She told me.


    True enough the public eye had gradually begun to turn its attention toward us.


    With a slight frown she told me to follow here again; I listened, when she hopped on the roofs of buildings above I was just behind her keeping the appropriate distance.


    ~


    We finally stopped. When I looked up I realized we were at the training grounds reservered for team 7. This entire time I was in thought and merely followed Sakura''s back so realizing only now wasn''t an oddity.


    "Why did you bring me here Sakura?" I said in confusion.


    "Naruto.. I wanted to ask you something." Sakura said without turning to face me. She had been looking dead ahead since we arrived. "Naruto.. During that fight - Sasu had been knocked out by you and the girl had targeted me but then you saved me. But you said ''My Sakura'' right?" She inquired me.


    "Wha- huh wha huwa wha huh? What!?" My stutter was so bad I thought I had become mentally impaired somehow. ''But that''s not important though; what did she say right now?! She actually heard that?''The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.


    "Naruto if you still have feelings for me say so now." She said as she glanced back at me but still faced the forest ahead of her with her back still faced with me. "For a long time.." She said as returned her vision to the brush of the forest before her - with a breath she spoke to me and said. "I won''t say sasuke has been gone so I lost my feelings for him, but when I was young; sure I crushed on him. I felt truly in love sometimes. He was good looking." She stabbed my heart with a kunai. "He was strong." My body was in pain. "He was - he had been very ambitious.. He still is I''m sure." ''Sakura please stop..'' I thought and clutched my chest as pain spread and I grabbed hold of my stomach - I was gonna be sick. "Many things and yes he was my crush when I was young." My soul.. ''I feel a pull.. - is that you Death god?'' "But every now and then I feel my heart waver.. You have slowly helped me conclude that Sasuke has been nothing but a crush, someone I liked as a child. When Sasuke abandoned the leaf village I still had these feelings right? And then he left right in front of me!" She cried whining emotionally.


    But then just as she turned towards me I saw that there were tears in the eyes of Sakura the pink haired maiden. And she said while time seemed to just slow down all of a sudden. She spoke "And as they say absence make the heart grow fonder right?" And the tears fell.


    In seconds, in just a split second I closed the distance with me and sakura. Between us was nothing to stop me from embracing her - and I did. "Naruto.. I didn''t mean to.. I just held onto Sasuke once he was gone! And before I realized it!!" Saskura cried through a mess of tears. "The feelings I felt for Sasuke changed! I wanted to see him again.. I held on to the feelings I had.. But because he had left.... I sent you out to go and find him.. And without realizing it I caused you misery and you were in pain over and again." The crying slowed down a bit. And she said "But I did realize it. When Sasuke left the feelings and attachment I had for him only grew. But I was blinded, I thought if I continue, if I had continued to love him.. Maybe.. Just maybe those feelings, him being just a crush could become true." She buried her head onto my chest. "I''m tired..I''m just so tired Naruto." She told me with emotions at their height. At this one moment.. In my arms the strong Sakura disappeared leaving nothing behind but this small seemingly fragile girl.


    ''I should tell her..'' I thought as I pet her head with a hand to comfort her.. With the hand I had on her head I called her and gently caused her to look up at me. "Sakura.. Hear me out please... I don''t mean to sound like an idiot but.." She gazed into my eyes with her eyes. Her ears open.. Her Full attention was only for only me. "Sakura I''m in love with you." ''There I finally said it! .....But... Now what?''


    Sakura smiled as she told me "You are an idiot." Before she buried her head in my chest but this was different..it felt warmer than earlier. Passionate - she spoke while buried in my chest "You''re my idiot though.. Naruto."


    Emotions had been welling up in me since some time ago for a while and now I felt I just couldn''t resist any much more. "Sakura." She began to lift her head so I took her chin and lifted it up with the fingers of my hand and planted a kiss on a soft.. Smooth pair of lips.


    Sakura looked shocked at first but appearing to accept it she slowly closed her eyes and even returned the kiss.


    ~


    Minutes passed - the kiss it came to an unfortunate end. The kiss felt warm, soft, passionate and most of all the solicitous kiss was real. These feelings I now had were the satisfaction of expressing how I felt to Sakura but there was something else..


    Happiness.. Finally I have Sakura like I''ve always wanted.


    "Naruto." Sakura said as she took a step back. "I have to go meet up with tsunade, or she''ll be angry with me" she said grudgingly.


    ''Curses!'' I thought before responding with a smile "Well tell granny Tsunade hi for me." I told her and waved as I watched her go.


    Turning around she was just about to jump but I interfered. "Ah! Wait a second Sakura." She stopped and turned just to find my lips on her cheek. I took a step back and told her "hey weren''t you going somewhere?" She nodded slowly and turned around. She jumped up and started tree hopping back to to the leaf but it wasn''t long before she looked back at me with a glare. "Naruto you knuckle head!" She shouted while blushing.


    "Eh? I thought you wanted it!" I shouted over the distance.


    Her blush got even redder and with a grudging look she accepted that I was right and mutter something she was to far for me to hear. Turning back she refocused on tree hopping and vanished behind the trees.


    "I actually feel really good now!" I said loudly while stretching. ''I guess I should head back to finish up the construction and make sure my clones are not falling short handed..''


    When I was about to start my walk to the leaf village I heard something in the brush behind me.

    ~Sasu Pov


    "Mmm what idiot?" I said waking up from sleeping. Looking at the lack of sun light which would be around during the evening I deduced that it was already morning as it was light and assumingly the sun was just on the rise. While my mind picked that up I was now glaring at some idiot teacher who was a tutor for genin of this generation. He stood at my desk rudely grounding his teeth loudly without reserve.


    "Idiot!? Boy I''ll have you know that you slept in my class!" He said angrily.


    "I''ll have you know sending out chakra pulses at me is akin to challenging me you know that right?" I said in irritation. ''Seriously why the do you pulse your chakra around a sleeping person? Its really rude! Well maybe it was to wake me up but still he''s asking for it.''


    "HMMM!" The teacher growled in anger before he shouted. "Get out right now or I''m gonna have to kick you out!"


    ''Interesting so he agrees to battle.''


    "Alright lets go then!" I said with a smirk.


    "Arghhh!! Brat!" The teacher said and threw a punch at me.


    ''Perfect.'' I thought before I vanished - appearing next to the teachers left using demonic walker. He saw me at the corner of his peripheral and swung his left arm back which connected with my left arm I raised to block. Raising my right arm I smack his left arm away and pushed him back down the steps. Instead of falling and humiliatingly barreling down the steps his used his experience and took advantage of the my hand and used my push to jump back instead. Landing beside his teachers desk he stared at me with a glare.


    "Brat, how did you move so quickly?" He asked angrily.


    "First you.." I paused and stared at him with a carefree look which really provoked his anger.


    "YOU WHAT!" He yelled to the top of his lungs.


    "Do you really expect me to explain my skills to you?" I said with mock intent. "What is this anime?" ...''Right.''


    Then hearing me he shouted "Get out of my class right now!" He said as I responded with a yawn.


    ...Then he growled again "HMMMMMM!!!" And in response I stared out into the sky and watched the clouds drift by with an interested look as if nothing had happened.


    "Youuuuu!" He screamed in rage and ran at me as fast he could. Or at least it seem he would until someone stopped his approach.Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.


    "Ill take it from here." A silver haired jonin said as he stood between me and the teacher on the steps it was Kakashi.


    Kakashi turned from the stunned teacher and looked at me and said while gesturing out of the window where I saw Enai and kiriya waiting in a tree. "Mind coming along?" I nodded and jumped through the opened window and landed on the ground before I used demonic walker and appeared in the tree above standing on the branch with the two girls looking at my appearance in surprise. Kiriya shone with an interested gleam and Enai had a fascinated look at my appearance.


    "Yo." I greeted them and turned to see kakashi giving the easy to provoke teacher an eye smile as he waved and turned to hop out of the window before landing on the ground then hopping up into the tree as he landed on a near by branch.


    Greeting us with the same eye smile kakashi stood and said "shall we go everyone?"


    "Yes Sensei." The girls replied.


    ~


    We have been tree hopping for almost 30 seconds well they were tree hopping. I still had not learned the skill so was using demonic walker to move tree to tree that was until Enai broke the chain and said it was no good.


    "Sasu, why are you not tree hopping normally?" Then Kakashi stopped on a branch as Kiriya landed next to him. Kakashi turned and looked to me curiously and said "From speculation you are moving at high speed with a technique that doesn''t seem like the body flicker or the hiraishin of fourth hokage. Mind explaining this to us?"


    I had appeared on a branch before them them so that I was looking at the two genin and the jonin. Raising my hands in the universal surrendering pose I said "You caught me." As I smirked. Kakashi raised an eyebrow before I told everyone.


    "The truth is I can''t jump in trees" I sheepishly stated.


    Sure enough everyone was shocked and Kakashi stood there with an ''i see..'' Reaction as he replied "While we are on this mission of ours I''m sure none of us would mind lending you a hand. Are you willing to learn?"


    Well I have no reason to reject so I nodded.


    "Great, now Sasu I need you to jump to that tree branch over there." Enai said with a weird gleam in her eye. "I will be tutoring your tree jumping lessons."


    ''Wait now?'' I thought before replying with surprise. "Huh?"


    "Stop acting confused and jump to that branch!" My previous sensei said as something drew my attention to my audience with a kabutomushi and having a fascinated gleam in its eye. Kiriya was giving me a kind smile and Kakashi gave an encouraging nod.


    ''Whats with the kabutomushi doing in my audience? No actually why does it look like that? Also why do I feel like I''m letting kiriya down if I fail? Does she really believe in me so strongly? Why? Why? And what''s is Kakashi after by encouraging this? Also Enai why now of all times!? The next hour , the day after maybe hundreds of years later or when I had actually practiced the technique would have been much more preferable! Rather than now! Unacceptable..''


    "Hurry up Sasu we still have a mission you know?" She said revealing a gleam in her eye that expected me to fail the lesson.


    "Um.. I left my range on." I said making an excuse to leave.


    "Sasu you don''t own a range." Kakashi offered.


    ''Damn you kakashi..'' I have been exposed of course he would know that.''


    "Um.. Maybe later?" I said looking to Enai only to find the gleam with terrible intent gone.


    "Well you should have said that earlier Sasu we have a mission we must complete." She said with a completely different air about her. She was now appearing innocent with a smile on her countenance.


    ''Huh?''


    "Now if you both are done wasting time we have a mission which we have to complete." Kakashi said as he turned his back to the path we were on.


    "Hold on. what mission?"


    Turning back Kakashi gave us an eye smile and told us. "Reconnaissance."

 Ch 16

    ~~Sasu Pov


    ~~


    We traversed the trees with the unchanging scenery being leaves and branches of trees.


    "Alright we''ll here for the night." Kakashi said.


    We were standing in the trees with the view of a lake in front of us, on the other side there were mountains from the mountains one would be unlikely to miss the grand view of the setting sun making it a beautiful sight.


    Kakashi jumped down first and landed on the ground ensuing us three jumping down next.


    "Camp? Kakashi-sensei where do we sleep? Rather I forgot to bring the camping gear required for this trip." I said to kakashi.


    Kakashi seemingly was finding a relatively great place to park for the night indicating for us to follow. "Sasu do you know of the transformation technique? Widely known as henge?" He asked.


    Henge? Its pretty useless to me without knowing the shadow clone jutsu but if I recall correctly the user can completely change their appearance while gaining the features of what ever they become. But the technique is dispelled in death or when the user loses all of their chakra.


    Wait does this mean I can become a dragon? Actually who wants to be a dragon when they can become a demon! right? Actually could I not try both when I learn the henge jutsu? Lets learn it and find out!


    So I shook my head in response.


    "What about the shadow clone jutsu?" Kakashi asked.


    I REALLY want that one!


    "Kakashi-sensei, he only has just learned chakra without any one to learn from he only knows what I showed him." Kiriya turned towards me. "The fire ball jutsu then those weapons he made from ice from before right?" She said and I nodded.


    "Well today you will be learning both. For plenty of reasons and in worst case scenarios if you bother using them correctly they might save your life." Kakashi informs. "Sasu you will learn both techniques from these two and I''ve heard of what a fast learner you are so once you figure it out you can do this!" Kakashi looked at a spot somewhere between the forest and the lake as he made a hand sign and appeared four small dust clouds which disappeared revealing four clones of Kakashi. One of the shadow clones weaved a hand sign before it was a good sized tent. The second clone entered that one before it weaved a hand sign, with the dust cloud that came from using henge it became bedding for a futon. The next clone entered the tent and became a simple white pillow. The last one remained, weaving a hand sign it became a blanket which kakashi snatched up and put around him self he looked at his work. "The tent I expect would collapse from natural causes as a clone-"


    "Wow!! Thats clever Sensei!" Kiriya said in acclamation of his deed.Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.


    "Pretty amazing Sensei!" Enai applauded.


    That was actually pretty clever! I still might sleep in a tree though.. Then suddenly Kakashi dropped a bomb.


    "You two train him well.. I believe he might have need of it in the future." Kakashi stated.


    "Why? What could I need it for? Is something happening?" I asked.


    He looked at me seriously and saying, "Just a hunch." Then turned heading into his tent to before laying down.


    ''Now I should begin learning these jutsu. I will carelessly shrug off what kakashi said and learn these jutsu.'' I thought and turned to both of my Sensei''s.


    Enai wore a smile as she inquired me, "Ready?" While getting into a battle stance.


    I guess this means we will learn it while in battle with this one.


    "I''ll be teaching you the clone part of the lesson." Enai said.


    We fought for a solid 30 minutes making clones through-out the fight I watched and learned the shadow clone jutsu from her as we fought.


    I more or less held back at the start but in she discovered that I was and told me not to although I did not recommend it I obliged her and got some hits in but I noted her reaction time improved and her kawarimi surprisingly decreased in signs so she was weaving only two now.


    Still i had been wondering a while now why 2 genin had come on a mission before graduating the academy but I decided I would ask them later.


    Again, different from Enai''s teaching Kiriya came up to me and helped my hands make the signs. I asked why she did this but she answered stubbornly. "Because I wouldn''t feel like a teacher if you learned it all on your own! Here.. The hand sign is like this... No.. Ya. Okay ill run through this a few more times here and then you will show me you got it."


    Then after I felt I knew how to do it I transformed into a bear.. Before I transformed I remembered the white huge bear I killed before and tranformed into that.


    The girls gave astonished faces and admired me. We played around a bit as I acted like a bear a nice one and roared at them.. It was another really.. pleasant evening.


    Until they became visibly tired. I acted tired and collapsed on my stomach and inevitably the ground shook. I lay there with an innocent look.. While being laughed at by Enai kiriya gradually came out breaking into a fit of laughter.


    ~


    ''They act like kids..'' I thought. Before I knew it they fell asleep against my bear coat. I had been enjoying the breeze in that usually came at this time while they sat down next to me but before long I felt their bodies against my fur, glancing at them I saw two cute girls sleeping with warmth from my belly most likely making things more comfortable in this situation.


    "You truly are a fast learner huh?" I heard Kakashi.


    Turning my head I saw a few leaves falling in spiral. ''Body flicker is pretty useful isn''t it? Still I doubt it would beat my new skill!'' I thought referring to my fast movement technique. ''Actually it really isn''t fast movement.. But it is not the space-time teleportation the main characters (Mc) would describe in novels and manga. Just what technique did I come across then?''


    "Hey Kakashi." I said.


    "I see they fell asleep?" He replied.


    I did what I thought was lifting an eyebrow and steered this conversation in a direction I was curious about. "What is this reconnaissance mission?"


    Kakashi looked at my eyes before he turned around. "It''s nothing." And headed to his tent.


    "Is this request from you or the hokage!" I asked him.


    He stopped in his tracks and glancing back He told me "Thank you for coming along to help me out on my mission.." Thanking me, he continued walking and disappeared his tent.


    ''I suppose this is his mission. Well met Tsunade.. Ill assist Kakashi for free but I guess I''m fine with that.'' I thought as I gazed into the falling sun. With the evening gone, what ensued was darkness.


    Getting into the position that was comfortable for bears I ended up falling asleep. I still can''t believe how real this technique is. There was a weird feeling that came with being able to talk as a bear. Requiring that I henge my throat into what it needed to be for conducting human conversation.

    When I finally opened my eyes I noticed that I had awoken early in the morning with the sun rising from the east.


    "Nice grizzly~" Said a sleeping kiriya.


    Next to her Enai had already woken her self up, watching the blue sky that was slightly tinged orange by the sun.


    "Sasu.. Did you know that even the most amazing sights is able to blackjack one to insanity. I have seen the sun first rise and fall - I have seen countless days still just as many nights.." Her hands rose before her eyes and shook in affliction "Our bodies hold so much tension and resentment and sadness, so if we don''t move it out of the body, we stay stuck in those negative patterns. Our bodies down to the very soul have our memories etched into our very being, that goes for everyone."


    "Blackjack?" I inquired lifting a non-existing eye-brow. She let her hands fall to their sides.


    "It''s a madness that moves behind the constant cycles stealthily - invading the minds of all things with a mind of its own impeling it into madness." She said.Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.


    "Why are you telling me this?" I asked her.


    "It is not for me to say." She shakes her head as the length of her hair slightly passing her shoulders moves from either side caused by the movement. "Your answers will come."


    Cocking my head questioningly ask a single word to her. "When?"


    "They are here." She said as she looked up at four people with long ears leaving the forest. Hair being blond, silver, black, green all long an done in some elegant style. There were two males and two females.


    Stepping forward the green haired female directing her sight on us said "Please come along with us."


    Before I could ask why a blond haired male stepped forward "Can''t you hear it? There it is! Mother is calling! Your time has come.. Mother has decreed a reckoning!" He said dramatically.


    I realized there were no zombie attacks even miles away from the village. When did it switch to elves? This ''it'' thing what is it hiding?


    "Who are you?" I inquired.


    Stepping forward before the rest of the group the silver haired female spoke. "Mother demanded your retrieval - we offer a last chance to come with us willingly!"


    "And if we don''t?" I cocked my head questioning them.


    The blond caught a wild glint in his eyes as his face wore the look of a crazed mad man. "Violence!! Mother seekeths thy flesh!" He blurred before appearing in the air two feet from my camp with two well smithed, elegant daggers equipped. "Give it to me!" He bellowed and adding twist to his body he spun as he came spiraling toward us with his daggers much like a circular saw promising to draw blood - Hinting at an inevitable battle.


    I did what I thought was smirking in my henge of a bear. "With such an appealing offer there''s no way I could possibly pass this up!" I said

    His fast attack was absolutely cutting it close, seeing as this elf in blond hair would be cutting us down in now time I countered with one of the only attack jutsu I learned so far.


    "Fire ball." I spoke as a huge fireball left my maw at incredible speed. "Guh!" The blond reacted to the pain caused by my fireball attack.


    ''Why isn''t it flying back?'' I thought because my fire ball seemed stuck in place. Widening in shock as I realized my fire ball was being cut apart from the opposition my eyes narrowed.


    "Enai! Wake up kiriya, prepare yourselves to move!" I told them. My fireball was losing power I was now able to see through the fire I saw that the blond was powering his way through.Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation.


    Shit! What the hell can I do? If I move the girls will get attacked, if I don''t do anything I''ll be fine but.. "Ah" I can test out....


    "Body refinement: refined chakra 100%." I spoke and immediately felt a change. I felt stronger, the world seemed to have slowed down even if just slightly.


    Distorted sound*


    "argh! ....eh?" The elf broke through the flames and was now staring at where I had been just seconds ago. I was hanging on to a tree branch by a single arm, before me now was group of stupified elfs, the girls were on my back with a now woke kiriya grabbing me by my fur.


    The blond turned his head in my direction as he was about to speak his absurd bullshit. But was cut off by the appearance of the silver haired elf at his side.


    "We are tasked with bringing you to M''lady." She turned to her comrade. "If we waste to much time time with Mlady''s request you know what will happen." The blonds eyes were narrowed. "I know."


    "I know we have just met." With an unfortunate helpless look he spoke. "But we will have to hurry this along." I cocked my head as I looked down to the elf. "Fine by me."

 Arc 1 (end) Chapter 19

    ~~Sasu Pov


    ~


    I felt with my new power - using body refinement I could put down these attackers with ease. Once I cut them down I would ask where they came from and I would find out who sent them. Collecting the clue and putting the pieces together.. I''d hate to make this a chore so I will end this quick.


    "I know we have just met." With an unfortunate helpless look he spoke. "But we will have to hurry this along." I cocked my head as I looked down to the elf. "Fine by me." Spoke the blond elf after the silver haired let''s prompt.


    "Oh? What a coincidence.. I was thinking the exact same thing." I spoke before I disappeared from the tree - appearing before the blond already swiping him with large claws - Clash*


    My claws were stopped by his dagger his blade had been turned so that the side had caught a few of the claws on my right paw. "Well that''s a surprise, a bear is normally 990lbs to 1000lbs but I should be well around 1400lbs and with a height of 5''6ft regular and-" I had to avoid an incoming cut that was aimed to cut diagonally into chest. I blurred and appeared behind the silver haired woman near us and kicked her down with my one of my hind legs as I stood tall - the female elf was quick to react an made the motion as if she was drawing a sword from some sheath but the was none. Instead a pitch black hole appeared appearing like a disk, when the sword was out she blocked kick with the blade that cut into the flesh of my bear foot. I continued my speech as she was sent back leaving track on the ground from her feet gripping the ground to stop herself. "I stand on these hindquaters at over 14ft tall ya know? Scrawny elfs like yourself standing against that power is already unusual." I spoke


    "Even more unusual is a talking bear though.." Said a new voice from behind. When I glanced behind I saw the black haired elf as he approached me. "We shall collect!" Screamed the stupid blond elf. "Mother''s!" At the edge my peripheral he had blurred in my direction.


    "Stop!" Spoke a voice - it was domineering it was no the voice of a man without wisdom, this person did not demand respect but it was simply his. This voice was great as a king. Certaintly not a human one, not this powerful, this is out of your regular humans capabilities.


    "¥¢©`¥«¥¤¥ÖÓÞ¤«¤Ê×ӤˤȤɤޤë" the dark haired elf said as he flickered to a position in front of the blonde elf. Before anyone could make out what was transpiring the blonde combusted completely and blood was left to fly but before it could it turned to some form of small light and vanished into thin air in no time. His back was no longer towards me as he appeared facing me. His hair was actually as dark as mine I realized - his eyes were constantly changing reflecting stars, war, betrayal between friends, apocalyptic worlds all before changing into a more ''normal'' pair of red crimson eyes with slit pupils. He wore a dignified clothing, ''no its just the air around him'' I thought. He wore a simple royal black shirt and black pants. Something like you might expect from royals within a medieval time. He also had a young appearance of maybe someone in around 20 in age.


    I knew right now I was probably dealing with someone important - the other three elfs wore some kind of armor for protection they also could not properly fight with me. The green haired female elf seemed almost too passive for this mission. Her clothing was simple A Plunge Lantern Sleeve Pleated Slit Evening Dress exposing beautiful flesh from her thighs.


    ''I reckon these two hold some kind of status here..'' I thought. ''But her..'' I thought of the female elf with silver hair. ''She must be a regular soldier like that stupid blond who I just fought.''


    Characters like that annoyed Sasu because he had been loud for ''no reason'' how he thought of it was something he couldn''t understand.


    "Sasu." The dark haired elf standing before him called out.


    ''Shit, another one knows my name.'' Why do all of these people just call me by my name like I told it to them? I only told a few since I''ve come to this world and now all the universes know?


    "Girls stand back for a moment." I spoke. The girls climbed down from my back before I reverted back to my original form after coming to this world.


    "Wow hes even better in person isn''t he babe." He spoke while the green elf came beside him and linked arms as passionate as lovers. "Still you are better." She spoke. He smiled bitterly to the compliment "Come on, babe give him credit." She pouted and looked me over. "Hes a handsome man." He gave me an apologetic look. "Sorry, she can be a bit.. stubborn."


    "Her compliment was enough, she''s fine." As I did receive compliments in my past life I was used to it. Yet to receive a compliment from a beauty of this level I was left unsure how to react.If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.


    "Any questions my friend?" Spoke the man with a kind look.


    Well who doesn''t? I have been here no span long already an in this time I have been brought more clues granting me questions, questions granted vague answers, answers only begging for more question.


    "I have plenty. Who is this mother that elf spoke of?" I inquired.


    His eyes narrowed slightly. "Oh that blond thing.. Mother is all powerful entity. It is what you properly know as the Void, where everything begins as it ends and in reverse." The elf in black hair spoke.


    That answers alot for srarters. I now know the ''it'' which the blue screen Goddess spoke of. The mother may be that which sent those undead after me but I still need to know why. Why is this thing after me?


    "But why..?" I spoke.


    The male elf parted from the green haired female, she pouted and watched him approach me from the corner of her eyes. "Why does she desire you" he made it sound like this was a mystery to even himself. "I have known her all of my years as a friend. This particular day she asked my to come along to see you off." He said. The green haired girl seemed be getting irritated. "Dear.." He said with a cold look. "Sorry." She immediately acquiesced an apology without sounding sorry.


    These two get along well don''t they?


    "See me off?" I spoke questioningly.


    "Well.. Apparently you will be returning to your original world."


    What? I just got here though.


    "I''m not convinced." I said stubbornly.


    "Please go easy on me will you?" He spoke in a friendly manner. I remained stubborn. His eyes lit up like he gained an idea "how about I compensate you. I say this informational will certainly tickle your fancy."


    I was doubtful but still he had me curious with this. Also this guy was certainly kind and from the way this girl did not seem to fear him he definitely did not abuse her. So I might add he was a gentleman. Also I am not certain of this person. He''s a complete mystery to me now so I may as well entertain him. "Well what is it?" I spoke unable to hide the curious tone.


    He seemed happy I expressed interest in his proposal. "Aha! ..so its like this... In three maybe four weeks time your original world will be overun with zombies." He spoke. "Eh!! ....what is that bullshit?" I was certainly surprised but I never really cared much for life on earth, that miserable planet.


    "You may not care but is it not interesting? Going back to that world with all of your abilities. I reckon it should be quite fun seeing this would be your first experience in your regular world as the singular abnormality."


    That may actually be quite interesting. I would be able to play God in this case, I get a few weeks rest as well, I see no harm in it.


    "One last question." I spoke.


    "Hmm?"


    "What are you called?"


    "Oh, will you go once you have your answer?" He spoke questioningly lifting an eyebrow. I nodded.


    "I am the first born Dragon of the archives. Refered to by many as ''the devoured of stars'', ''devourer of man and women of all race'', ''devourer of the young of all races'', ''God of death'', but that became the ''devourer of death'' in no time and in the most literal sense. These are simply mere categories, when broken into more specific items these names will be countless." He spoke in a carefree manner as if those words meant nothing. ''What the hell are archives!? Does he mean the void maybe?..


    His hand slowly came as his the palm of his pale hand became opposite of me, pointedly my chest. His hand began to glow faintly as a magic sigil appeared centimeters in the air from his palm glowing brightly.


    "Wait , you said archives at least twice now. Do you mean the Void?" I inquired.


    "Ah I did didn''t I?" The bright glow of the sigil became feint but hummed with potential energy. "Hey, how would you like a secret? Can you keep one?" He spoke. I nodded. "Good, I trust you will. The Void is a completely separate entity.. Actually not entirely. The archives are even older than the Void and an utter powerhouse I say. Documents of all time periods, existences and more are the archive''s to own, the oldest of all things too - If it wanted it could erase us all in a mere instant. Or what time it documents is fastest... Ya know. When it comes down to it the Void doesn''t stand a chance. None of us. In front of many I am certainly powerful but not even all of my power could pose the slightest threat haha!" He spoke to my astonishment. I thought the Void all this time not God or some other pseudo-religion. Everything starts with the Void as it all Ends ...and vice-versa so what the-


    "It''s time we part my friend." He spoke with a slight grin.


    "Shall we meet again?" I spoke courteously.


    He put his fingers go his chin in thought for a moment. "If I''m not busy?" I nodded with a smile. "Farewell." He spoke, his voice solemn.


    "Just a second.." I said. "Huh?" He raised his eyebrows before his eyes narrowed and he grinned at me mischievously. Through our eyes we exchanged an understanding. "Well goodbye." I spoke with a slight grin.


    "Yea." He spoke and the magic sigil at his hand grew brightly and the surrounding of my peripheral lit up in a multi-colored glow likened as the sigil at his hand.


    I caught a last glimpse of Kakashi''s tent with ''ZZZZzzzz''s'' floating from it and slightly behind me were the girls and oddly enough she wasn''t crying. Much rather they were expecting this.


    Lastly I was met with the waving hand of the first dragon and the glare of the green haired lady elf. "We should also take our leave." He said and the couple disappeared along with the silver haired female which was forgotten by me.


    ''Wait were they not planning to take these two?'' I thought and just like that he appeared again. "Oops can''t forget both of thee, M''lady." He bowed and like an escort he held out hand to them but instead of waiting for them to meet his hand the three disappeared.


    "Yawn* ...Now prey tell where will I be?" I spoke as I finally disappeared from the world of Naruto - Appearing back on my home planet.

 Arc 2 Chapter 20

    ~~Back on Earth


    ~Japan


    ~~~


    Appearing in a home which was on relatively calm street in Japan was a someone who appeared to be in his late teens, a young man with a head of the darkest black hair which people may certainly fear due to its resemblance to the Void of space - eyes with iris as deep in pitch as a black hole is rumored to be, his hair was in a bed head style of sorts with bangs to yield shadows to his face a face of listless wonder- The clothes he wore were also a deep shade of black; jogger pants and a long sleeve mesh top which could were the type made for (Straight) men in naruto, above the top was a simple black cotton shirt. Tied to his pants was a dark demon fox mask with a black string. And black flip flops for his feet.


    [Note: for those who would like an example its kinda like.. (Solid Color Casual Men''s Harem Pants) for those who have no idea of mesh shirts and know only those for women or just would like to see what it is exactly.. (https://www.aliexpress.com/i/442471769.html</a>)]


    "So I''m home..?" The boy said.


    Everything was mostly as he''d left it looking around he recognized this particular room as the living room. There was a kitchen large comparable to normal ones it was walled-off leaving the kitchen a bit to you right is a desk with a laptop on it, It was closed. Looking a bit to the left as you left the kitchen there was a sofa to seat your self room for a few with a table, leading to the living room against the wall is a table on the wall instead of sitting on a table. To the far left of you, you find stairs leading upwards. The floor made of marble rich white''ish''-gray with alternating white. Rugs with colors dark gray, blue, white, or black were placed in a decorative manner that looked good.


    His wonder and the tickling excitement passed when his steps carried him to the desk. Pulling back his favorite gamer seat of blue and black he took a seat as he cut on the black laptop. Sliding his right hand across the top a slight nolstagia feeling was passing through him when he lifted the lid and input his password.


    "I wonder how much time passed while I was gone from earth?" He spoke. Taking a gander at his home again from his seat before speaking, "sure couldn''t have been long or this place wouldn''t be as I had left it." He said as the laptop left the loading screen and went to his desktop, rather his home screen.


    His home screen immediately was covered with his last opened pages which were of course.. "Un-unbelievable.. Its still here. She.." He murmered as he caressed the screen with a look of shock shaking hands following his softening eyes to the screen. On the screen a pop-up had shown him a picture of the girl who had taken care of him after he had been cast out by his family. The picture was really old and he never thought he would see it so soon, its been years since it was taken.


    His mother referred to him as an accident while his bastard of a father called him ''thing-son'' or reversed it some times to his own humor. His father didn''t care either and said a number of times the kid had just been an accident while he was having fun with his wife.


    To properly take care of the boy his father had gotten tired of caring for him at the young age of twelve, this day so happened to be his wife''s birthday so he said ''what better gift than throwing out our son right?'' Hence driving yonder to the other end of town and leaving him outside of someone''s house before leaving as fast as he could.


    Said kid was left with but the clothes on his back with miserable feelings about him. Yet they had not given him a proper; formal education so he was unsure how to respond to this. What came to his mind were the times he was allowed to play at a near by park; when it had come time to get in after dark he had to knock on the door.


    Turning around in his eyes reflecting a house in the quiet neighborhood, its lawn was well cared for. The yard was maintained an excellent degree as was the house which was rather new is what it seemed. He knew he had been thrown out, unable to go back he was left without a proper well to draw from; education, money, a home. All of this was well beyond him and before he realized he was at the door and without much pause he knocked. "Coming!" He heard a voice which he came to was a girl once the door was opened. "Who is it? Huh.. Brat what are you doing here?" The voice was kind at first but with a better look at him she seemed slightly annoyed.


    Viewing the lady from a short angle he spoke what he thought was closest to a proper response... Or maybe it wasnt? "Miss can I come in?" The annoyance became an irked expression as her response like. "Hah!? ...okay do me a favor first." She said after thinking. "Go get me a soda from that machine there." She said pointing across the yard at a vending machine across a small street. Following her hand he saw where she pointed - sliding his hands into his pocket he found he still had enough money that could keep him fed for maybe as long as a week with cheap foods like ramen if he ate just a bowel a day. He hesitated, ''should I find someone else? With seven days... I..'' He thought.


    She observed his figure and found something she recognized in other people. "You don''t have too." She said while slamming the door shut in front of him.


    ''No! My chance'' His thoughts an actions were immediate. "I''ll do it!" He shouted and with determination he ventured out of the yard and to the machine buying all 16 different drinks. He instinctively ground his teeth at the disappearance of money but all he had left now was just good enough to survive barely a day buying him a single bowl ramen. A days food..


    With rage at its boiling point a feeling welled up in him, he felt a word come to his tongue which his father said often around him "oops." He spoke. Still unaware that, that was actually the mocking of his father not even clearly aware of swearing yet. He ''swore'' for the first time.


    Grabbing all of the drinks that he purchased he dashed back to the girls house and knocked using a can as his arms and hands were unavailable. He thought to use his feet breifly but he knew enough to know that older people hated dirt and if this person would help him they deserved to be treated properly. ''Is this how it goes?'' He thought.


    The door opened and the girl stepped out with a single raised eye brow, "You actually had quite a bit of money on you huh?" She spoke, turning around she entered her place again making the boy think he wasted his time, he was even more miserable than before but in that instant he was brought back to that border of hopeful by her following words. "Bring them in, just set them on the table." His eyes gleamed hope reflected in the boy eyes.


    Closing the door behind him self he lugged the drinks over to the table and planted them down, he stood and waited. The girl glanced over at him from the kitchen, she had been drying her hands with a towel. "I Live alone, dead parents and all.. Oh I dont mind if you sit down." He made to sit down but she had yet finished. "But!" She called startling him. "You have to shower first.. I''m not in particularly a clean freak but my shits'' new looks like it right?" She spoke as her claim caused him to look around finding her true to her word all the black and gray decor, furniture and all was indeed fresh. It smelled new, it seemed new, of course they were used by this person but this made it all the more homely with her own taste. This person has a heaven defying interest in dark colors too it seemed as his sight gazed over the interior of this persons home. "So lets keep it that way ya? Go bath and meet me back here. I have something you can lather up with but... Clothes?" She wore a look of uncertainty.. "You won''t wear girl clothes will you? ..Haha I guessed not!" She joked. His reaction however was a little..off. "Girl clothes?" His head tilted to the side as he made the question.


    ''Hes kidding'' she thought. "Well if you want I have a large shirt and red garments for the lower body I don''t really want. I can give them to you if that''s what you want." She saw he was still looking quite confused actually dumbfounded. With an evil idea she wore an expression which expressed she thought of something which the person it was intended for would certainly disagree to. "Hold on stay right there, ill come right back." She said and left to the upstairs corridor in a hurry. Still confused the kid was left with that dumbfounded look.


    "I''m back!" The girl alerted him upon jumping the last three steps down. She went in front of the boy and held up the clothes to him with but a small distance between the outfit and him. "Hmm.. I may be a natural when comes to tagging someone to a fashion suited to them. ..here put these on before you come out to see me again." The boy looked uncertain, "Is this okay?" Her eyes shone with a infatuated look of sorts it was the hunger to see this through. The result of her intuition. Or actually full intent on pulling this antic. "Absolutely now go go Go! You stink you smell absolutely horrifying. I''m terrified now go quickly." She said pushing him into the bathroom enthusiastically before slamming the door shut which was actually designed with blue, white, and gray.


    "Hehe, My friends out of all of us I believe I have successfully carried out our dream!" In her mind flashed the members of the yankii group she was was part of.


    The freshman girl of 14 years of age approached the sofa, took a pillow from it and dove face first or would have if not for the comforting pillow under her. She lay there for a while in thought before an excited scream left her albeit muffled by the pillow.


    ~


    The pop-up had shown him picture of he and the girl who taken care of him all those years ago, since the time he was twelve.


    This particular photo was of the time the girl invited her yankii group over atleast two years after his arrival at her place. He had met her yankii gang a year after met her through an accident. Some man had broke in when he had been at home beckoning a bento to him like it was some animal but just happened to find the kid the girl was taking care of inside. Upon meeting the boy the dude immediately tried to strangle him the assumed tresspasser. Luckily the guy was followed by her and she cleared the understanding cause this guy in particular beat people he put to sleep. Arriving just in the nick of time to clear the misunderstanding, after arguing about not telling them sooner they decided to throw a rather grand party at her place which was right around her birthday that winter so they did it then.


    In the picture the the kid was challenged to pick up the girl who had taken care of him to ''test his strength'', he successfully lifted her up but just in case she had put some energy into her legs should he fail. But the guys mostly mocked her for being scared provoking her go through with it and gave the boy words of encouragement.


    In the end he proved successful, her figure wasn''t particularly small her three sizes had already filled out too desirable sizes at such the age of 16. This picture everyone either wore a smile or were grinning their hardest, this was only the main photo; down to the corner of the right to the pop-up was a picture of her in a beautiful dress of black which suited her dirty brown but curly hair, pieces were highlighted by a deep pink hair color that was long and held by hair clips; The hair was also done back in a top ponytail by a black hair ribbon. This picture was absolutely recent.


    He was caught up in that absurd death at age 16; the girl had been 18, they both attended the same school. With some fake information and drawing some strings they built his background story, she was immediately resentful when she first heard he was called ''oops'' or ''the oops'' around his family he told her he had no name but when his parents came around that''s what they used to get his attention. While in public they just stayed near each other and mostly his father talked to him and if he need his attention he just called him ''kid'' giving of the feeling of some sort of family connection.


    So she ended up giving him a name. or at least she tried, when she offered a name he told her he wasn''t ready so she decidingly referred to him as brother or ototo also meaning younger brother. As for how the people would call him in public he chose ''Contem'' what it meant him was the present day being the beginning of his new life. Derived from the word contemporary. He thought to add ''White'' for really symbolic meaning which would refer to a blank sheet he had begun but this idea was immediately chopped, shot, and brutally burned by here and they finished by just adding her own last name as his own when people got close enough they jested when saying his first name but stuck with his last name as it was preferable.


    With longing the fondness, the loving bond between two he hid in the back of his mind all rushed back at him with a fierceness that shook his entire being. Subconcious shutting down was his body refinement technique he''d left on but he payed this no mind although noticed he let it be; Ignoring the power that left his body from the refined chakra. His right arm moved his hand giving a gentle meaningful caress of the picture on the screen.


    "Lydia.." Spoke he softly. "Are you alright right now? ...where are you Lydia?" He spoke like this because he knew how much he meant to her. If she knew he was dead she could do alot of damage. But that''s when he heard a click from the front door. Looking dead ahead behind his back was the front door - to the left of that were the steps leading upstairs.


    "Lydia?" He watched the door knob twist with expectation, he hoped to see the girl he missed so.. The door creaked open as dim light from the night poured in. One step...then another. The figure stepped in but their face was twisted in a look of anguish. Her steps were filled with sorrow as she made her way to the kitchen; she turned its light on.


    The living room was really really dark, to the point one must strain to see but light shone from the laptop allowed him to see. Even as a ninja he was still too green as he had not learned to see within this level of darkness yet, his eyes followed her as she made movement in the kitchen.


    ''What is she doing so late? School ends earlier than it is right now so where has she been?'' He thought, ''Did she get out for a drink when she heard I was no longer in this world? She did not kill anybody right?'' He thought cause he knew how depression works but it could be worse for a female yankii.


    ''Oh crap!'' He hollered in his mind; distracted by his thoughts the girl he recognized as Lydia had closed the distance and already a kitchen knife was at his neck. "Hold on Lydia, I''m the last person you''d want to draw blood from." He protested with hands raised. With a dry voice that held hatred she spoke, "I don''t know who you are but you have seconds to leave quietly." She gestured with the knife for him to get up and with no choice that''s what he did.


    Soon she had guided him out of the house and shut the door in his face...again. ''Well if this situation isn''t anything like the last one...'' He thought. "It isn''t." He shook his head. "She believes that I am dead. ...how do I convince her I am alive though." He said with a puzzled expression.


    "I am particularly interested in that apocalypse but first I should handle these things though.. I can only try." He spoke and vanished on the spot.


    Lydia had just made it upstairs before she ran into the the man she''d seen down stairs. He had been waiting and rubbed his head with a nervous expression. "Lidya.." He called, seeming to notice the irritation in her face he spoke with rushed words, "I came back from the dead. I know I look really different but.. But look! I spoke to very important people while in my after life. There is suppose to be a zombie apocalypse very soon"


    She sneered. "Well maybe I can die too now shove off!" She said and pushed him to the side as she past entering her room slamming the door shut.


    ''I should continue she''s clearly not thinking straight.'' He had seen the look in her eyes, the look of a girl suffering due to loss. The lost of losing one close to you. ''I can''t possibly quit now.'' Sasu thought vanishing only to appear in her room.


    "Look! I couldn''t get in through a closed door if was still normal right! I had seen the after life! I am the same kid.. I came to you years ago. ...four if we''re exact." Sasu said as he locked eyes with the girl who glared into return. "I am the same one... Remember when I happened upon your door? I bought you soda." I spoke.


    Lydia responded. "I don''t care who you are dammit get the fuck out of my house!" She said fiercely.This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.


    The atmosphere was tense between the two; one was losing his hope, the other was in denial he couldn''t tell if she believed his words so far or thought insane but he was obviously annoying the shit out of her..


    "Lydia.. Remember when.. The time I..I wore girl clothes? You told me to clean up first befor-" that was all he could get out before she erupted in laughter. "Hahahaha" her loud but pleasant laughter filled the room it was a laugh of enjoyment. "Lydia..?" He said before she caught him in a hug.


    "Lydia?" Sasu reached out tentatively. Her arms reached around him in a passionate hug. "What happened.. Brother?" She spoke softly.


    "That''s a story.." He said with a contentment that came from reaching her even though it was through the most embarrassing method. ''Did I really have to tell her like that? ...nevermind it.'' Sasu thought before he looked down into her eyes, "Why don''t you sit down this is gonna'' be a minute." He said. "Oh boy. Well come on what could have happened in a day?" She said as she before releasing me and taking a seat on her bed.


    "One day?" He her asked flabbergasted, she nodded. "The hell is going on?" Sasu spoke. This was unexpected, from the pop-up on the screen downstairs Sasu knew it had to be taken recently the one she took on her own. She looked the same as when before Sasu was hit by the truck in that absurd situation.


    "How long were you gone?" She said pulling Sasu from his thoughts, raising an eyebrow he said. "I was in other world for a week actually."


    "Huh? You''re right! What the fuck is with that?" She spoke.


    Sasu shook his head, "I should just tell you my story."


    Nodding she said, "Mhm, do tell."


    Sasu walked over her desk and took a seat in her chair as he done plenty of times before. More of that familiar feeling washed over him before he began to go over in his mind what happened after being hit with an absurd situation. ''How and why would the truck come from the sky?'' He thought but shook his head. On her bed was she waiting his now relieved sisted, she was notably more vibrant too. Seeing his sister come from depressed to happy was certainly an improvement, one that made him smile from his heart.


    "Well lets get on with it." He said with a loose smile tugging his lips.


    ~


    "Hohhh!? Really I wanna see! Summon the skeleton!" She said as her eyes lit up in excitement.


    Sasu had recounted his tale unto her telling her first about his meeting with the goddess of course not adding how close they were in that time. ''Even though me and the goddess are just friends it feels like I''m missing something.. There''s something more to her.. This, Everything I''ll find answers eventually.'' Sasu thought in his pause as he resumed telling her about his time in the Naruto world. How he trained by fighting with bears starting with his first encounter with the bear when he appeared in the world of Naruto. Carrying on he explained his first attempt at tree jumping and was sorely laughed at as she admitted if she saw it she would have laughed too. Signaling for him to continue she finally stopped laughing then he went on telling her his meeting with the bandit.


    "Wow! He was really arrogant tell me you kicked that guys ass!" She spoke humoring me a bit. This made Sasu laugh as he felt the load that he hadn''t realized was there had finally been lift from his shoulders. He shook his head.


    "That''s when he showed up.." Sasu spoke with an ominous glare.


    "Huh?" She saw his eyes and immediately felt worried for him. With a serious look she spoke, "Tell me what happened."


    Sasu nodded and told her about his appearing in the village with the annoying jonin who stalked him after leading him into the village and exposing an important ability to the hokage.


    "Wait so what''s the limit of this regeneration? Are you finally one of those zombies now?" She asked while lifting an eyebrow.


    Chuckling at her jest he spoke, "Most things can''t kill me.. Poisons are useless as I could heal before they had a chance to take affect but if that wasn''t enough my secondary innate ability keeps such things at bay. Still I went ahead and asked for something that allows me to eliminate life threatening ailments like those."


    "I don''t understand whats the difference between those two?" She spoke.


    "What?" I said in question. ''Did I explain it wrong?'' Sasu wondered but she helped him realize it was a similar case.


    "You kept saying innate ability this; skills and abilities that. I don''t know what you mean by these two? Are they not both abilities too." She spoke and he agreed it was indeed confusing the way he was explaining it. He opted to elaborate a little.


    "Innate abilities are the ones I call which I received before my first rebirth-" She cut him off. "You died twice?" She said eyes widening. He nodded in response, "I''ll explain that in time." She nodded.


    "Innate abilities are what I was given after I died on earth. My time in between dying on earth and going to Naruto. What the goddess gave me." She nodded with understanding. "Skills and abilities I refer to those differently because I gain them during my time in Naruto, most of my abilities so far I was given to better help me adjust to using what I was given upon being incarnated into this world and I say I have gotten the hang of them. ...to an extent." Sasu said.


    "What does extent mean here?" She said raising an eyebrow again.


    "My arm and just about half my body was blown to pieces or most fittingly torn up by his rasengan just before he hit me with an unexpected attack before killing me." Sasu spoke bitterly as Sasu disagreed with that outcome.


    "Where did he hit you?" She inquired. Sasu answered by scratching then pointing at his head with closed eyes. "Well if I understand correctly instant regeneration heals right? So instead of dying didn''t you just get knocked unconscious from a hit to the head?" She said causing my eyes to widen. "It sounds like you were hit and knocked unconscious before you could consciously witness your body regenerate and its instantaneous so I expect it happened just as the rasengan left your body. No I''d deduce that if you keep it active your body was regenerating even during his attack so maybe you had not been harmed to begin with I reckon." She said a mouthful, this had actually made him feel a whole lot better and actually meant alot to him. He thought he had wasted his second life! In seconds he had her in a hug of his own. "Thank you Lydia!" Sasu said as she pet his back. She responded to her brother that was like this, "That''s what I''m here for right? By the way... You go by Sasu now is that it?" She asked as they released each other and he stood to his height wiping his eyes with a hand. He looked at her and shrugged.


    "Will you keep my last name-"She asked appearing hopeful. But was cut off, "Of course." Sasu smirked, "Just what do you think we are!" He said with a rare flaming passion in his eyes.


    She smiled contentedly, "I see.. So one could call you Sasupenshon Okaibu?"


    Sasu nodded in confirmation, but that was met with her uttering an. unexpected statement.


    "Sasu is really good but I have something I think will do you justice.. Want to listen?" She spoke suddenly. He gulped but nodded expectantly at her proposal. "I was thinking... ..Wakai Okaibu Sasu! What do you think!" She proposed excitedly. Sasu thought the first word meant young but he always punched blank with the meaning of his last name. ''Still its just a name is it not?'' Smiling he decided if it made Lydia happy then is it not worth it? So he nodded.


    "Is it good? Phew! I was hoping you I didn''t just tag your name with shit, ya know?" She spoke. "Haha your naming sense was always better than mine." He said feeling confident in her naming sense. ''Thousand times better than mine hehe'' he thought.


    "Really!? What happened next?" She asked and he continued telling her up to the point where he was brought back by the first dragon in existence and his meeting with the dragon in elf form as well as what they discussed.


    "Hey.. Wakai, don''t tell anyone else about what he told you alright?" Lydia said suddenly serious. She spoke with the utmost seriousness he''d ever seen from her. To his surprise she added another thing to the list of unmentionables, "Dont mention your full name either. No matter who anyone is no one and I mean nobody knows of it understand?" She spoke wearing a deathly serious ambience.


    As surprised as he was he nodded. "Suspend your ability to speak of it. Actually its maybe better to suspend it from memory and existence for a short time. And use Sasu as an alias." She spoke in the same deathly serious tone.


    This request had blown Sasu out of the water, "Why?" He asked shocked. It was like she was asking him to lock up his house, chain his foods in the fridge, chain it all up. Its as ridiculous as chaining up and locking up dust particles. "It''s just that.. Its actually important to me ya know?" She spoke fidgeting slightly.


    Seeing her like this Sasu did not really get it but agreed to it if it would make her happy. He breathed before speaking, "Alright so when will I remember it... Rather until when shall I forget?" Her mood immediately.


    Her eyes lit up as she wore a vibrant smile, "Ahh, So you really will do it for me? Yay!!" She said with extremely cheerful pose. Seeing her like this made him glade he agreed, Sasu waited for her to answer as he wore a game smile. "So I want you to forget until..." Her last words were immediately given a fierce reply. "That won''t EVER happen! Never!! Not if I''m around to do something about! Even when I''m not around still I will-" She cut him off by calling his name which caused him to relax a little, "Nothing last forever." She spoke and just as he was about to cut her off she rose a hand and continued to speak, "Still let me impart these words.." She looked into his eyes, "I believe in you, you are the only one I will place my faith in because.. You are my brother ya'' know?" She spoke with confidence full belief in him.


    Sasu''s heart beat slowed and calmed down, "I will do it." He spoke. "Good!" Lydia spoke with a look of happiness.


    Sasu closed his eyes and opened them almost a minute later. A brief look of confusion was planted on his face before he said, "Where were we? Ahh, would you like to see a skeleton?" He spoke.


    "Yea I never seen one before! This should be spooky right?" She asked him as she blatantly ignored the lapse in memory with a smile plastered on her visage. "Yea I suppose so? This is actually my first time summoning one."


    "What about before you left Naruto?" She spoke.


    "Ah, I didn''t really get to look at them but my chakra felt a major change to the environment." Sasu spoke honestly.


    "Well why don''t we see this one together?" She lifted a finger before her lips as she was seemed in thought. In a moment she snapped her fingers and looked back at Sasu, "Why don''t you summon something small. Thats already sounding like a plan!" Sasu thought for a second and said ''okay'' to him self and he stood in near Lydia as he positioned for a skeleton to be summoned in the middle of the room.


    For a second nothing happened making them both look slightly confused. Sasu had been expecting a magic sigil but instead a skeleton appeared in the middle of the room out of thin air. Its appearance were rich black bones with empty eyes sockets with but a dull blue light emitting from them. A human skeleton.


    Sasu looked proud while looking at his summon with mild interest but in turning to see his long time friend Lydia he noticed a look of shock and then a moment later it was replaced with a look of fascinaton. "So this is the skeleton summon of your abilities?" She said as she stood and rounded the skeleton with a look of inspection.


    Sasu looked down at the weapon which the skeleton already equipped in its left hand. "Give me your sword!" Sasu eyes narrowed when he demanded the skeleton''s sword. Fixing it self with a somewhat elegant posture as it approached him then dropped to a knee as one foot was forward. It held the sword by the handle down near the guard; point to the floor, allowing Sasu to take the sword in his hand.


    "Wasn''t that kind of him your majesty?" Lydia teased Sasu before she had been offered the handle as Sasu held near the sword''s guard; point down. "You will be practicing.. I will train you in what I''ve learned so far for self defence." Sasu spoke resolutely getting a surprised shout ''Ehh!?'' From Lydia. Sasu chuckled at her response, "Well that is what I should do.. I know but in thee end I''ve decided to just give you an entire army of monsters." Sasu said in a careless manner as if it was nothing.


    "I ain''t weak! I won''t let you treat me like some weakling who can''t defend herself.." Lydia shouted. Slightly shocked by her outburst Sasu remained unmoved, "Even armies have safety measures... Back-up, tactic and strategy. This is an apocalypse, for your survival my will be done Lydia."


    Lydia frowned, "Your will? ... And mine? What about me?! Does my opinion matter or has the power already fucked up that head of yours?" Sasu looked plain as day which was the expression he wore when he spoke, "Then what do you suggest Lydia.". Lydia responded with shocked Sasu, "You will take me along with you where ever you go during that shitty apocalypse! Don''t think you can just leave me behind in some army for my protection! If you want me safe then do it your self!" She shouted going in between the ill mannerisms she had as a yankii. Sasu thought as he looked in her eyes a moment before his head tilted back allowing him a view of the ceiling above.


    Sasu remembered the times where she would help him when kids would exclude him while he was young. He wasn''t really allowed to hang out with her until he got into her high school, once he was found by one of her brothers who came to her house looking for Lydia''s bento was he able to hang out with them when their activities were on a relatively safer side. As he got older he was able to do almost anything he wanted although they introduced him to booze when he was a first year, a freshman in high school.


    Sasu remembered his first taste of alcohol but the memory was simply to hazy to piece together. Putting back the memory together usually gave him a splitting headache but this time it was mostly numb and could be ignored but he decided to remember later. ''For now....'' He thought, as he brought his attention back. "Fine, but I will have a set of summons with me as well when this thing hits the fan." He spoke.


    "Great!" She said as she stretched her limbs then twisted her back to loosen up any tenseness. "But what will we do for now? And what about this guy?" She said as she sat down and pointed a foot at the skeleton still on its knee.


    Sasu regarded the skeleton and spoke, "I can unsummon him but I thought to test its abilities first." Lydia regarded her room for a moment, It was neither big nor small. "Its fine with me. Go at it and show me what you learned the 7 days you were gone in other world." She said with a smile that would normally intimidate others he seen her use plenty of times on others.


    Without words Sasu summoned his dagger of ice over his hand before taking hold of it. He gave the skeleton back its sword and it stood as he nodded before hearing a fascinated whistle from behind causing him to look back at Lydia. "That''s some blade you got there." She said with a short applause.


    Sasu smiled but wore a serious look when returning his attention back to the skeleton. "Attack." Sasu ordered. With no hesitation known to its bones it rushed Sasu at breakneck speed and their blades met before it spun on its phalanges and sesamoid bones with its right foot swinging its sword at Sasu which was deflected by Sasu who swung his sword in return.


    The skeleton sent a quick barrage of stabs towards Sasu''s abdomen but he deflected them without much difficulty while he studied the skeleton''s moves. It launched a kick which was again block by the sword but unexpectedly there was more to the attack. Twisting in the air it kicked out with its other foot before climbing higher into the air, maintaining that momentum it rotated as it kicked the sword each time until it reach the tip finally snap kicking Sasu in the Jaw sending him flying back with force.


    "Sasu?" Lidya called before she saw the skeleton charge the still flying Sasu whose hair covered his face leaving his expression a mystery. She had nothing that could form a proper weapon in arms reach but her bag so she grabbed it and just when she was planning to throw it she realized Sasu disappeared and reappered in front of the skeleton giving it a kick to the skull. The skeleton shrugged it off and cut crescently with its ordinary blade leaving a gash in his cheek. Now irritation began to creep into his face, Sasu formed a four spiked club of ice in his right hand which looked to made by a blacksmith. He swung it with no specific technique lieu smashing it against its head using power that made it skid towards a near by bookcase.. Rather almost until that was intercercepted by Sasu appearing at its side and bashing it in the head again causing its skull to shatter and fall to the floor in pieces. The body began to fall back from the force of the blow but before it did completely the club in his hand reformed into a long sword before Sasu cut it down the middle; causing the skeleton to fall in two halves.


    Sasu released a breath at the same time dismissing the summoned skeleton and his sword at once. His face regained a normal expression as he spoke, "regenerate" making all wounds done or damage regenerate.


    Applause came from his back and he looked back at Lidya with shock before giving her a embarrassed smile. "That was quite the show." Lidya spoke, "That combo was amazin''! what did you do!?" She said excitedly.


    "I was just making use of a certain skill... I used the demonic walker skill to get to him and finish him off." He spoke.


    "But you were in the air do you not need to touch anything for it to activate?" She questioned.


    "My sword." Sasu said indicating he used his sword as the surface thereby meeting requirements to use the technique. Sasu responded and she gave a ''ahh'' which expressed both surprise and understanding. "That''s pretty clever of you actually." She spoke, "So was that skeleton specifically strong or not?"


    Sasu nodded, "That specific skeleton was from some abyss somewhere. When I was summoning I just thought about something ominous and relatively skilled. That was a variant skeleton the information tells me it''s pretty low rank in the world it comes from. The ranks of this world being low, med, high and 1-7 being their ranks in power. This skeleton was low 7; a high rank amongst the others ranking of the ''low'' category." Lydia lifted an eyebrow and Sasu spoke again, "This information is apparently a hidden kink to my entity summon ability, with a vague description of what I want it attempts to meet my demands with a match. Upon summoning it I get most of the information on it like where it came from, ranking and the rank standards its world uses. Also I get information on its specialty including the attitude or aggro of my summon. That answers your question?" He asked.


    "Yup! By the way..." She said and Sasu gave a questioning ''hm?'' "You won''t be going to school anymore." He asked her why because even though school never interested him he had fairly good memories there.


    "You are dead in this world. And even if your appearance isn''t too... Actually its TOO DIFFERENT!" She shouted. "First your hair why is it dark it doesn''t reflect light at all, your clothes... Nevermind you might actually make it as a cosplayer!" Sasu rolled his eyes at this. He liked cosplay but was more the type to see someone else''s then to actually dress up. "Right there! Your eyes too they suck in the light! Ah ah my eyes!" She said in fear which made him roll his eyes in annoyance. "Haha, lighten up. You actually look pretty good. So good in fact I expect women should be all over you soon as they lay eyes on you." She stood up and approached him with small steps before she reach him and stared up into his eyes, "Onee-San has had a looong day and I need to change but before that..." She wrapped him in her arms giving him a loving hug with her head was against his chest she stayed like that a moment before lifting her eyes and looking into his which held a seemingly slight embarrassed yet curious look and held in place by her at the same time.


    That''s when she closed in planting a kiss on his cheek too his surprise leaving him stock still as red crept over his skin in a blush. "Thank you." She said after taking a step back.


    As the red on his face was becoming increasingly apparent he vanished from the room using his ability like teleportation.


    Seeing his embarrassment Lydia laughed a bit before turning to her wardrobe she opened it before choosing night clothes, after she finally switched her clothes she slowly approached her bed, cutting off the near by light she layed down on the bed pulling the sheet back she covered only her lower half.


    Laying on her side she positioned herself comfortably. ''An apocalypse is in three weeks huh'' With a thought on the careless side she drifted off to sleep.

 Ch 21

    ~~Sasu Pov


    ~


    I used my demonic walker skill to leave that room which my friend has started changing in. First I realized when I think of using this skill that name is uselessly long so I will just call it ''shift''.


    I wonder if I can do that?


    "Well I should start getting ready for bed myself." I said aloud to no one specifically.


    I walked the upstairs corridor from where I shifted out of Lydia''s room, leaving from outside of her door I walked towards my room before opening the door.


    The window was slightly opened as a breeze came cool breeze came through blowing the curtains. I looked in a corner to my right when walking in, there was my bed.


    "I forgot what a bed was like.. Is that what a week from home feels like?" I said aloud again to no one special. I approached my bed and just collapsed on top of the sheets.


    "Ahh" the breeze hit me coming in from the window as the bed comforted my body which was still had adjusting to do in the other world still it had improved immensely compared to my old body.


    I do doubt I would be done in by a flying truck anytime soon.


    Slowly I shut my eyes and drifted off to sleep and just when I almost lost consciousness I received a new pop-up with closed eyes.

    Hm... I don''t get it really but apparently I can officially use it under the name ''shift''.


    Are these skills I gain upgradable? Or just this one. Well no matter. Either way level 3 of shifting is really good! This means I don''t have to struggle finding a proper surface and I do believe my genius did this?


    Teleporting mid-air while using the sword as a surface before I finished off that skeleton was with out a doubt the right move!


    Still... Is this pop-up random or is the goddess aware of my presence here? Appearing here automatically would certainly be a first for the blue screens.


    Haa.. No use thinking about it.


    Now should I make it disappear same as before? I can''t sleep with this on my conscious.


    I wave a hand and wait, but as expected it disappears and my conscious is left with a peace of mind.


    Wonder what an apocalyptic modern world would be like for someone with shinobi like ability.. I don''t know.


    I fall asleep.


    ~~~


    I wake up and turn over, I sit up in my bed, I glance around and notice the sun has begun its rise in the sky.


    I hear a pair of feet against the floor as they approach my room, I know its Lydia as she''s the only one in the house and a break in is least expected. Nevertheless her foot falls were a dead give away so I''m not surprised when she swings the door open.


    "Rise and shine brother!" Lydia shouted as she marched in.


    "I''m awake Lydia." I said expressionlessly. "Are you leaving to school yet?"


    "Still lazy in the morning I see... I guess somethings remain the same." She spoke like it was something she was experienced with.


    She was already in school uniform and carrying her bag in a hand as she wore her normal excited expression.


    I looked back at the sun just to note it was pretty high in the sky. "You are pretty late again aren''t I right?" I said still looking at the sun.


    "I don''t even get how you find thing out just by looking at the sun. ...and no I''m not I''m on schedule!" Lydia said fully believing what she said.


    Convincing yourself a lie is truth is dangerous I should reprimand her..


    "Which schedule, the late one? To be honest I already knew you would be late, still just because you do it all the time doesn''t make it a great habit." I said as I looked back to her.


    "I''ll just stay home! In three weeks school won''t mean jack shit right? Japan will-" she said drawing some pretty great points.


    I cut her off, "I was thinking about this.. I want to take my time so Japan won''t be feeling the full affect of the apocalypse in three weeks." I said wearing plain look.


    She seemed a bit thrown back by my words. "What will you do?" She asked.


    I had expected this question. Still that doesn''t mean I will answer straight away, "You will see." I got up from my bed and moved past her before stopping. "I have a gift for you too.. I have planning to take care of so you guys do what you want for these last two weeks but can I keep you for the third week?"


    I glanced and saw her slightly uncertain aura but she told me ''yes'' while nodding. "But where will you go?"


    "I have to map out Japan before it becomes obliterated." I said before using shift to disappear from there but not before summoning a guard for Lydia. She won''t see it.

 Ch 22

    Something precious is something you will protect is it not?


    I disappeared from the house of Lydia and myself just to reappear at the very top of Tokyo tower, my home country...


    This tower is 332.9 metres, approximately but as I am in the air above it by a few meters, on the point out of sight... Hopefully, I am above even that height.


    Looking down on all of Japan I take it all in as if it was the city of lights..


    Its broad day light, I''m sighting the borders but not so much as I am feeling them. Though I had been in Naruto for a while the techniques of chakra light enhancing eyes were still unknown to me so that left me to spread out my senses.


    Lets see... Using Chakra Gauge I can see that my chakra is full at its meter of 1000/1000.


    "So spreading out 1 point of my chakra... A mere 1 meter out huh.." I expand my chakra sense a bit more and it is indeed 1 point per meter of chakra.


    Hm.. This is suffering I can''t even sense all of Japan like this. How do I summon an army for all of Japan when I can''t sense that far!?


    "Fuck.." I cursed.


    I need to build chakra.. But how do I do it? My brows furrowed.


    I need a skill! I need chakra! But how!? I grit my teeth before I ran through my memory for all of the skills I obtained so far.


    No... No No nah... Ah-ha! Found it! I can build my chakra capacity with this skill.


    "Chakra gathering ~ allows host to gain chakra. Can be used to increase user''s compacity. (Skill obtained Ch 9)"


    Perfect! I can actually increase my capacity naturally like this. But will it work on earth I wonder? Energy concepts are rather intangible... Very difficult stuff here.


    I decided to forget my worries for a moment it won''t help i''ll just end up wasting time right? I shut my eyes and sat down on the spot mid-air with my shift skill and started my attempt to gain chakra.


    "..."


    There! ...in less than a minute I felt something happening to my chakra, I checked my gauge. 1024/1024 was my new chakra count in I say lets do 30 seconds. So in estimate I gain 25 chakra points every 30 seconds using this skill of mine.


    I guess there''s around 604800 seconds in a week right so... I guess my chakra will right by 24192 each week? Hm? Maybe...


    Whatever I''ll just look at my gauge by the end of the week. For now building chakra is the first step..

    ~Pov Random


    "Hey mommy what''s that?" A child said as he pointed out the window of a restaurant at Tokyo''s Tower.


    "Stop pointing thats ru- ... Um, I don''t believe I can answer that son?" The mom said as she let her fork fall onto the plate with a ''clater'' like noise drawing the attention of a few people which became more.


    What the kid had pointed at a fine silhouette of a figure with a light so bright it seemed like the sun.


    The figure seemed human enough apparently sitting down just above the point of the Tower but... That was of course impossible.


    "Hey, she''s not gonna believe this!" Some guy said whipping out his phone from his pocket.


    "Its buddha haha and it seems that guy''s lost some weight!" Some guy said as he started recording the figure.


    "I wonder what this means though.. This is obviously an unnatural feat." Some lady said.


    "Who cares there hasn''t been anything like this in ages! If this is real... Oh boy!" Said some guy enthusiastically recording.Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.


    "Yea this is certainly more than a sight for sore eyes.." Said some guy coolly in a laid back manner.


    The mom was finding her, and her son more and more surrounded by onlookers and their phones as recorders for ah video.


    "Scuse'' me.. Hey I said excuse me!" The lady said but she was being ignored.


    Or maybe not...


    "Hey guys lets move this table! Who wants better footage!" Some guy said lowering his phone a bit and looking annoyed at the table.


    "Yea lets increase our quality!" Someone else shouted.


    "Move the table! Lets do it!!" Some guy said getting pumped.


    Back to the mother ''these heathens!'' She thought.


    She looked at her son then took a glance at their unfinished meal before silently apologizing to her son, grabbing his arm she held on tight and pulled him along. "Come on! Everybody let us through!" She screamed.


    Still no one listened but she forced her way from the table before they moved it.


    Holding tightly to her son''s arm she began swimming through the wave of people that surged from no where. "Just what the hell is all this- ahh!" She was forced to fix her grip but found someone had also held her arm firmly. Looking at the arm that held her and who she held...


    "Wheres my son!?" She yelled to the top her lungs.

    ~Lidya Pov


    Well what''s this?


    I pulled my phone from my skirt pocket before checking its notifications, apparently it rang because of this sight atop Tokyo''s Tower.


    Hold on...


    I went to an image sent to me by one of my yankii buddies and zoomed in on the silhouette.


    "That''s.. Brother? What is he doing up there." I said aloud and looked at it a moment before coming out of it and preparing to call his phone.


    Ring*


    I heard his phone go off somewhere near me so I followed it, upstairs? Nope.. I took my foot off the step and glanced towards the desk on the first floor.


    "..."


    I approached the desk and picked up the phone which had been charging near the laptop.


    "This idiot.." I said with frustration.


    That''s when I felt a surge of force nearly knock me off my feet but some ghastly figure appeared and steadied me with a hand before fading out again leaving no trace of having been even existent in the first place.


    I could hardly even make it out it went and gone as quickly as it''d come.


    "The fuck is going on!!" I yelled before running out the door with my bag.


    I still have to meet up with them..


    ~~~


    ~Sasu Pov


    I pulsed my chakra a single time before I stood up.


    It turns out that that skill was upgradable as well, after some time passed I received another pop-up from the blue screen so now I gain around 100 Chakra every 23 seconds.


    That was very exciting but better was yet to come as I received another pop up telling me I could increase my chakra capacity unceremoniously.


    "Just what is even getting stronger anymore?" I pulsed my chakra once more to get a feel of my surroundings and to show off like they did in novels and anime.


    What can I say it seemed pretty cool right? Those characters are amazing.


    "Wait what''s she doing all the way over there?" I said as the image of Lidya was put in my mind. Information came and apparently she left the house and went off on her on..


    Still... Moreover..


    I directed my sight down at the people in the resaurants below. "What?" I said curiously.


    They had their phone camera directed up here. Toward me?


    I looked around at myself and noted I had been shining rather brightly, "Rather.. Just what is this aura?"


    Around me had been an aura going all around my body very thickly, I doubted those people down there would be able to see me through this. The color of this aura is blue like chakra but... Its different?


    Hm?


    A helicopter had chose to come stop by and was quickly closing the distance with a person hanging out holding a camera.


    "Hey its not that big a deal!" I said and waved in annoyance.


    "Just what is that!?" Said the guy hanging out the helicopter.


    "I don''t know but keep recording!" Said someone else from the seat of the helicopter which had gotten to close for comfort.


    "Back up.." I said and instinctively my chakra had pulses making the helicopter rear back with its nose turned up.


    "What the hell is happening!?" Said the person piloting.


    "It didn''t even touch us! A-amazing!!" The guy with the camera said. "Hey get closer!" He told the pilot enthusiastically.


    "Fuck." Well I have no choice..


    I looked directly at the helicopter an its people, "Hey guys guess what?" I said before I disappeared.


    ~


    I reappeared in front of a stunned Lidya before she stopped being stunned and asked me curiously, "Brother is that you in there?"


    She may not even see me.. This dense thing is rather annoying, this aura.


    Hm.. Instead of trying to answer I did my best to manifest an ice version manifestation of myself before I had it to nod its head for me.


    It was the best I could come up with to answer at this moment don''t complain.


    "You.. You idiot why did you leave without your phone!" She shouted but I could pay no mind to that right now.


    I made a ice stone tablet with a written choice of words I''d use to get what I intended to say across before I had the ice manifestion hold the tablet for her to read.


    "I don''t understand any of this.. I need to go and find out what this is and it may be some time because I think this could be useful in a long run?" She read disbelieving.


    I made the tablet refresh it self before it seeming etched on words which she read again, "Give me two days.." She took a breath before she spoke her own thoughts.


    "Very well," she put her hands to her hips. "But come back on time you just died here remember?" She said.


    I refreshed the tablet once more before it read "Thank you!" And I disappeared with the ice manifestion nodding at me before it fell apart and just became ice on the ground on a sunny day.


    "Great.." Said Lidya afterwards.


    Then she walked off in an in a random direction.

 Ch 23

    ~~Sasu Pov


    ~


    I shifted, leaving behind Lidya. Where I appeared now was in a open field of grass. No trees, no buildings nor constructs.


    Where is this place? Have I left japan?


    I had been looking at the endless plain of grass layed out before me, it was a nice sight when seen rarely but also one of those sights which were to plain to keep looking at.


    I lifted a hand, looking at it with inspecting eyes. The glowing was still there of course and radiant as ever seeming like it wouldn''t leave no time soon.


    Hm lets see what this is all about..


    I remain standing and closed my eyes then I waited.


    "..."


    <table>


    <tbody>


    <tr>


    <td>You have any questions?</td>


    </tr>


    </tbody>


    </table>


    My eye brows lifted slightly because of this new kink to the blue screens.


    I guess this is the goddess? No this screen has a mechanical feel. I wonder if it will help me figure out something about this aura.


    "Yea what is this aura?" I asked curiously.


    <table>


    <tbody>


    <tr>


    <td>Figure it out.</td>


    </tr>


    </tbody>


    </table>


    Then after reading that one of the weirdest things happened, the blue screen disappeared as my eyes were forced open. It felt absolutely unatural, so unnatural in fact I dont want to do it again.


    Still if I am to figure this out alone then... Its best to take things from where it all began, that is..


    Did this happen with that update I got from using chakra gathering? But there had been no mention of this aura at all. Still they must be connected...


    Only one way to find out! I deactivate the auto chakra gathering and I wasn''t disappointed.


    The aura of chakra went up in wisp and extinguished.


    "So they are connected!" I said as I had gotten somewhere.


    Heh might not need that blue screen to tell me everything after all! But ...again.. This has only lead to more question. Now I need to know what it does.


    ''Alright!'' I thought before cutting Chakra Gathering back on, the aura appeared as large and as dense as before and its movements akin to the flow of reacting to swiping winds which blew at me like a breeze.


    Well this is some power! I looked around at the grass it was either flattened or being blowing in the wind.


    "This is amazing! I feel I can do anything, my power has the feel of being limitless also." I said excitedly.


    I wonder what this does too... The surge of power is notable but that can''t be all right?Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.


    "Ahh... That''s right." I said aloud. I had remembered when I pulsed my chakra by instinct pushing back the helicopter, the people were unable to identify me as well.


    "..."


    So wait.. What all this skill does is pulse and concealment? Isn''t that worthless as a skill? In Naruto those ninja are the most forward ninja... They fight upfront as contradicting as it sounds..


    "..."


    I guess you really shouldn''t question plot sometimes..


    "Well I''m grateful, three skills in one." I said but I believe I had failed in sounding excited, it was also said in a laid back manner.


    But who cares right? By the way I guess I didn''t need two days at all, I barely took an hour. Should I head back?


    "I suppose I don''t have a reason to stay out here... But I guess I will anyway. I mean whats the fun in going right back home right?" I said in thought.


    Since I should be training and I have chakra expanding in all directions like this is the best time to play with the entity summon ability.


    Hmm what do I summon first..


    Looking at the plains before me it was decided I would change the enviorment first.


    First I have to destroy the grass a bit, I summon a couple of nukes which appeared in the air in a position from my head then they fell at my feet.


    All one could hear through the explosion of two nukes were my cries of anguish if they were actually someone in the abandoned area.


    "AHHH! - HUH? Eh, is it over?" I said it without and indication of just being in the center of the blast.


    "They appear then blow up in my face?" I said in anger.


    That''s when I summoned a lot of nukes spaced out in the air all over the place then I cut my instant regeneration up to max before I did the horse hand seal on one hand and made my sword in the other hand.


    When I did a hundred clones appeared for the sake of 1000 bombs and we disappeared.


    I reappeared on the surface one of the falling bombs and stabbed in my sword while getting some satisfaction from plunging my sword into the stupid bomb I vanished, unable to stay long or it''ll blow.


    I appeared on some other bomb while immediately plunging my blade into it and repeated this process as the clones were don''t the same.


    This all took 10 seconds before an explosion went off wreaking havoc all through the area.


    ~


    "Thank you everyone! Good work out there!" I said proud of the clones hard work and dedication.


    "Bye!" They shouted while some waved happily. Clapping my hands I dispelled the clones before breathing tired and setting regeneration to normal.


    Ok ok.. So cats out of the bag, allow me to explain.


    My regeneration is normally something I activate consciously.. Unless! There are cases of emergency like the time Naruto had almost killed me. This time specifically I took advantage of my ability to change between the two of them. Normally I consciously regenerate but I couldn''t bother this time so I left my body to regeneration to do its work automatically.


    I regenerate on my own alot of the time for mental practice and its very good practice you should try it if you reach this point one day. (Complete bullshit need mental capacity increase rather than chakra capacity increase I mean wtf!)


    Well my wrath has been placated a bit..


    Well lets get to work! I have to change this sorry enviorment, cause otherwise it''ll keep stagnating looking like ''who the hell did it!?''


    I look at the land utterly torn asunder, lets bring nature back whose with me?


    Activating my summon ability I summoned an air of cleansing and preparation the ability again activated meeting my demands and the area cleaned, cleared it self like magic before I dispelled that and brought back nature but not before spreading these arms dramatically.


    "BEHOLD!!! FOR I HERALD THE NATURE ONCE FORGOTTEN... KNEEL BEFORE MY POWER!!" I yelled dramatically and summoned a brilliant multi-colored light which immediately consumed the entire area.


    "BEAR WITNESS!!-" I spoke grandly and there a swamp of fantasy gradually appeared amidst the fading light and for added effect I summoned a great wind that blew throughout the swamp sending the leaves of great trees fluttering and other wild plant life all great in size shook.


    I summoned tremors great enough to shake the ground though causing no visible damage and as though I woke it up monsters surfaced from the fantasy marsh the most unusual sights and unknown monsters to even me appeared out of all places of the the swamp.


    Well I can''t have our visitors going off on their own right? What if they get lost? Who agrees?


    "Suspension.." I said with an expression of mild interest as I swaggered into the swamp of fantasy with my sword on my belt.

 Ch 24

    I walked the ground beside the waters as I studied what I summoned, the life here is far to grand!


    I get the feeling if I touch it wrong it will shatter and much like glass does it becomes a fitting blade.


    I saw a large tree as tall as thee other stabbing into the sky most definitely larger than anything earth has seen in years if any time ever.


    I put a hand on the tree because of a feeling. Thats what led me to encounter another form of energy it felt nothing like chakra and something told me it was certainly not Nature energy.


    Hm... Should I test it?


    "Whistle whistle, recognizable word, whistle whistle whistle!" I heard something that sounded like a group of birds so I cranned my neck upward to see a female hopping down and in pursuit was an old man.


    Long ears, white healthy flesh, green clothes - no shoes and her weaponry seemed to be crafted from the surrounding material which seemed just like plants and other oversized greenery to me. This of course was the female whose ears had been more perfected in a way, they seemed more natural. That original roundness perfectly coming in to a point.


    The old man.. Normal ears, dark clothes, short white hair reached his nose and dirty brown boots. All he revealed was his arms head and face, equipped was a sword of...


    "Is that ebony?" I asked curiously with sight on his sword.


    Instead of approaching me she acted as though I weren''t there and dramatically dove into the water behind my back with the old man hot on her trail. Upon reaching the lake instead of jumping in the old man sneered with his face wrinkling, on the top of his sword ignited a flame and he held that over the lake as though torching oil.


    He moved, plunging the flame into the lake but before he could contact the lake with his attack I rose my sword to his neck.


    As though he already knew this He stiffened when the blade was in sight before he stopped his sword.


    Great, I stopped him but what do I do now?


    That''s when something phenomenal happened.


    The girl shot out of the lake, rather four tentacle broke the waters surface and stabbed into the air as the girl hung from a tentacles by a hand.


    Rose a monstrosity from out of the waters with a height of 500ft, its apparel was the head of a dragon mouth glowing green, its arms were actually humanoid, fingers, claws, its claws excelled in sharpness as did the length. Like horns on its head extended smaller trees, its body was well.. Just like.. The smooth skin was tree bark so it wore this look and a horrifying maw with tens of thousands of teeth in rows resembling a megladon.


    Its murky eyes narrowed at us in a glare with a threatening aura the black tentacle which lapped over entangling its body turned out not to be tangled at all and twenty shot toward us.


    My right arm was batted by the old man in my distraction as he grinned and moved forward.


    "Hey, you''re gonna die." I spoke caution to him.


    Ignoring me he jumped at vanishing speed and appeared again on the knee of the humanoid-dragon monster. Jumping again he dodged while cutting down tentacle aimed at him while using branches or trees or whatever he met on his way up the monsters body, using obstacle to go even higher.


    Hey hey I am no genius but this guy seems not to be a push over in battle so what will these two do next?


    I looked over to the elf girl, she was now running along the tentacle at breakneck speed leading back to the head of this mythical creature.


    This is when my eyes widened you would need so much focus to run along something so small so effortlessly and she made it look natural. I wondered if I could do it for that moment but that was put on hold as the old man almost reached the top.


    The elf girl decided against running and shot out her arm open palm aimed at the head of the monster, small vines protruded from the small slender hand and wrapped around a tree. She gripped and tugged at the vines before being pulled along at blinding speed.


    Upon reaching the head the vines immediately loosed their hold on to the tree and shot back into their owners arm before she turned to frown at the man who had just reached the top.


    The mans blade was being lifted above his head and had erupted in fire on point, with an evil smile he swung down in an arc his large sword. It was normal in length for a sword but was great in width.The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.


    Upon seeing the sword light up in flames the elf girl eyes widened before frowning, she blurred towards the old man meeting his sword with a kick.


    I cringed thinking she would be burned but instead as if it hit some strong material it stopped and the fire which I''d expected to burn flesh and the wooden bangle on her ankle had certainly not been burned.


    "Heh." His lips tugged into an evil smile, but before he could take action he was flying into the air above from a snap kick from the girl.


    The man groaned then growled before lifting his sword and throwing it down with all of his power.


    Before he even knew what was going to happen the girl''s palm opened again with the vines shooting forth once again they wrapped around his head and pulled him down before the sword even left his hands he was slammed onto the monster''s head with extreme force.


    The vines slowly loosed his head and took their time slithering back into her hand as she lifted her small foot to the man who was at her feet, she stomped his head in with force finally doing damage to the monster''s hard bark like skin.


    Rather that''s its armor isn''t it?


    She''s really strong so she won''t be needing my help.


    I had been taking my time cutting down each tentacle from the monster as they came while observing the situation with the girl and the oldman. But now that was unnecessary so I cut them all down in a blink finishing them up.


    Phew! This power really is amazing!


    I looked at my hand which was covered in a dense chakra I found out this aura was really just my raw chakra with a little thought.


    Putting my sword back on my belt I turned and walked off casually planning to enter deeper into the swamp.


    But the corner of my peripheral caught something interesting halting my steps I look back at the twitching arm attached to the monstrosity which rose and as if it had an itch its claws raked across its head where the girl and old man were. The girl jumped back and the old disoriented old man remained while his head no longer had been attached to his body and had been severed by a large claw.


    As if it knew something was still there it roared loudly as the tentacles which wrapped its body soon covered its head. Or it tried to but ended up hissing at the burning sword.


    The girl seen the problem and looked like she wanted to help but seemed hesitant for some reason. The fire on the sword reflected in her eyes instilling hesitation.


    Hm that''s interesting... So the problem is the flames huh?


    I guess I''ll help..


    I used shift, disappearing before I reappeared in front of the elf girl who looked at me with shock in her eyes. I hefted the flaming sword which was light as a feather off the bark which had somehow resisted getting burns making me lift an eye brow.


    The monster gave a deep growl before it raked claws across its head again.


    Seeing the oversized claws move I shifted again, appearing below. I looked back in time to see the girl narrow her eyes on me and as she jumped down before approaching with her eyes on the blade.


    Moments later the tentacles moved again, leaving nothing behind.


    "Thaw lliw uoy od?" She said in an elegant voice.


    Huh? So this person has her own language.


    Does this mean we won''t be able to talk to each other.


    "I will put this blade down once its extinguished. I dont really care for it you see?" I told her although I suspected she wouldn''t understand.


    She nodded before she retrieved a leaf from the ground. Staring at it as it sat upon the palm of her hand she murmered some words before I felt breeze and the leaf fluttered in her hand before she handed it to me.


    I lifted an eyebrow.


    What is this should I whisper to the leaf too?


    I took the leaf and felt a change not knowing anything I decided to ask forgetting she wouldn''t understand me.


    "What is this suppose to do?" I asked curiously.


    "Nature has power. I have requested that it allows you to comprehend my words and make your language sound as mine." She said speaking in Japanese.


    Rather there was still a notable difference to her words and mine now so I suppose that this is just us both speaking her language while mine is gone?


    I think its like this as long as I''m holding the leaf..


    Lets hold it for now.


    "So as I was saying.." I said with closed as before summarizing what I had said before. "I will extinguish this blade and don''t particularly care for it so you can take it after."


    She nodded. "I will be grateful mortal."


    Mortal? What does that mean? Are elfs not mortal because of their longevity now?


    I looked away in annoyance and set my sight on the blade which I held in the air nonchalantly. My chakra covered the blade before my chakra nature froze the sword extinguishing the flames. Narrowing my eyes the ice cracked like glass before falling in pieces.


    I handed the elf with slightly widened eyes the hilt of the blade which she took.


    Nodding gratefully she took the sword before looking back at monster, her eyes widened I terror.


    What''s wrong now?


    I looked back to the creature but my eyes widened at the sight.


    Tens of thousands of the sharpest wooden tendrils were shooting out of the colossal creatures mouth, coursing green with a venomous substance dripping from the tip.


    That''s all I seen before I spazed out.


    A change of scenery washed over me each millisecond not even allowing me to perceive the changes. Before I knew it I reached the mouth of the monster and thats when its black tongue snaked out grabbing me before pulling me in and chomping down it slammed its mouth shut before devouring me whole.


    The tongue and the green substance seemed to be an acidic poisonous liquid. I felt my self melting and healing all over again.


    So I''m expected to be easy food for this thing and I''m also expected to just let myself be devoured constantly?


    Bullshit!


    I disappeared from the dark intestines and appeared outside before the elf girl who had some how dodged that attack.


    I looked around at the surrounding which were pierced by the wood tendrils which were now gone, back in its mouth I assume.


    My gaze went over to the elf girl whose eyes had widened slightly.


    I felt my eye lids growing heavy following a mysterious scent which went into my nostrils.


    I had nothing to do so I fell to the ground and fast asleep I was when my face contacted the ground.


    That venom had a sedative affect? Awe man..

 Ch 25

    ~~Elf girl Pov


    ~


    "ARYNA!" The voice shouted from the side. I rushed my opponent. He was a stocky man, his height and width bear resemblance, with a shaven beard and a head of white hair. I had a sword and simply clothing with no armor, because it was unlike elvens, this was due to the belief that my people were immensely superior compared to humans, which was true. It was rare for a human to be able to make an elven bleed.


    I had a sword in my right hand. I swung it so fast my arm was a blur but the swing was blocked by his sword, he shrugged it off and went under my defenses swinging horizontally as quick as lightning. Using my inborn reflexes I appeared few feet distance from him and his swing missed.


    "Take that human filth away from here and make sure it doesn''t burn anything down, Don''t play too long your mother has told Signol to get the Ground crawlers cleaned up and you know he''s always punctual that means get back in time for entertainment!" Screamed the voice from the side. The human glared at hearing the name given to its kind by the elves.


    The man on the side whom was my father eyes narrowed, "Is there a problem human?" He said placing a hand on his scabbard.


    The human had flames ignite at the tip of his sword but that''s when father smacked him over the head with the flat of his sword which sent the human flying, he immediately crashed into a tree at the edge of the woods.


    "Get this thing out of my sight before I lose temper and the Ground Crawler loses its head!" The human steadily rose to its feet and grind its teeth under the glare of my father.


    I Approached the woods, only stopping to give the human my command to follow me. As we left we both heard father sheathing his sword.


    ~


    We were approaching a large pool of water, this is the place where I favored taking them when the Ground Crawlers were put under my care.


    "As expected of father.." Even though this human whom was especially strong as it was sturdy he had easily tore through its defenses making it look like a facile task. I admired father, as rare as it was for humans to draw elven blood it happened, especially during war. I had heard a single human could take on hundreds of my people.


    During the war my father never had so much as a scratch. He shrugged off hits and magic from them treating them like filth, when facing him they were merely lambs to be slaughtered.


    Yet still our people judged and our conclusion for the so called humans was slavery. But that was natural as the weak were born to serve the strong, and strong was my people.


    Origins of these humans are still unclear, they appear out of the wood though we have seen some who just dug up the ground and walk the surface.


    The way the war started is unknown to me. I''ve heard the history plenty of times yet I don''t believe it. It sounds like perjury to me.Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.


    I shrugged as i ran through the forest only fast enough for the human to keep the pace.


    My inner thoughts: ''Not as though I really care about it.''


    Servants are like small animals, any action can give you an erratic reaction from them. Still even animals have their uses and I thank the dirt for birthing slaves right out of the ground.


    Hm?


    Once we were just a few paces from the waters we encountered a boy in black garbs, his hair was fairly long but had not gone down his back like my own. His hair was actually the darkest shade of the color I''d ever seen. At his belt was a magnificent sword, long in length while its width was smaller than most still it was suited to the ornate look of the sword, still though it was only ice it had all been a transparent blue. The boy had a massive aura which I''d never seen before, that made me pass his figure with caution.


    Running pass the boy I rushed into the lake as we stared at each other briefly locking eyes. Instead of fear my thoughts leaned more towards caution with this person, he had been entirely different than anything I''ve encountered so far.

    Old man Pov:


    That bastard! If he had not interfered I could have killed his daughter!


    I have been stalking this ground for a week now so I know what to do, once I perfected my plan I surfaced from the ground and snuck behind his daughter to catch her unawares. To capture the youngest blood is the best way to take down the camp here is take the bosses most important item. In that case it could be the wife or daughter but the older elves are more experienced and their more powerful so I can only go with the daughter but this is not a bad thing.


    Taking the daughter captive will leave both fools stuck like rats in a trap, once they see I took their daughter by the neck I''ll make both of them beg and torture both of them before I take the both of em'' to the elves higher ups. If I do that and threat in to kill one of their war hero''s right in there stupid faces I''ll have every single one of those fools bowing before me.


    Then once I''ve seen my brothers and sisters free ill be the hero of our entire race!


    ''No.. No... No no this needs more tact!'' My thoughts yell at me.


    ''How about capturing a few more of their hero''s then threaten the elves?'' My thoughts proposed.


    Well damn i''m smart ain''t I? I''ll capture the daughter of the stupid elves but before I go get more of their warcheifs or whatever I say lets have a piece of that woman elf huh! I''ll just show the father I captured his daughter before I knock him out then there will be nothing in my way with this ebony sword of mine!


    With thoughts like these I did what I thought was grabbing the elf girls throat and putting my knife to her neck but she vanished into thin air and that''s what''s confused me. All of a sudden I hear a girl shout from behind me, "FATHER FATHER COME QUICK!!" I couldn''t even turn before her father appeared outside of the house. Turning my head I finally caught sight of the daughter I thought I''d captured.


    "Oh who is this, Ah we have a Ground Crawler in our own garden." The father said coming from looking surprised to a mocking smile. I recognized his long silver hair done in some kind of style trying to look elegant and majestic and gray eyes like storm clouds. Her daughter had the same eyes but larger than his. "Can I deal with him papa?" His daughter asked with an excited tone.


    "Hmm.. Go ahead, but you must hurry you see? Your mother has set something up for us." He said and that''s when she charged me with explosive vigor. I met her sword with my ebony sword. I was surprised by the strength of this girl but held my ground and just decided to wait for an opening.


    She swung her sword vertically in an upwards arc so I stepped out of reach, that''s when I saw my chance, I doubted she would be experienced enough to deal with this. With out giving a seconds hesitation, I ducked under her guard and slashed horizontally sending a crushing blow to her belly I planned to turn from the point of the blade to its flat to avoid killing her so that I could effectively take her hostage, then it would be a game well played.


    But just like before she vanished and before I knew it my plan had failed before it started.

    </table>


    So this is what spazzing out like that earlier got me.. Well this is exciting. There are plenty of ways to use it.


    I don''t know when I might use this but staying prepared rather than not is certainly the better choice.


    I immediately willed my chakra refinement skill to get to work with 2000 chakra, though I felt no changes I knew it had been done I could now use my skill to its full capacity.


    This blue screen is getting familiar though isn''t it? Its been coming in when I sleep or anytime my eyes closes for an extended time, I still don''t know if this is directly from her or is it just moving on its own mechanics?


    Well its good that it does not interfere when I am sleep.


    Anyways I see the screen waiting so I decide to wave for it to disappear. Open eyes show me my enviorment, my eyes are greeted by the swamp, the waters with trees breaking through its surface have no life to them the leaves have gone. I now know that to be the head of some unidentified monster over 500ft tall, now away from the waters where I lay is upon damp ground near the healthier trees.


    Near my body was the elf girl from before who seems to have found a large stone to sit on. Her eyes had been closed, her knees bent, overlapping as they went off the edge of the stone. I sat up, looking at my hands I saw my figure had still been shrouded in chakra. I realized this with a smirk.


    "Hm.." A voice came from the side. My gaze went back to where the elf was seated. Looking at her she really didn''t have any armor, not even a leather. She wore an extravagant green and white color, her hair brown, storm gray eyes. She wore an intrincately designed head jewelry with a floral pattern over her hair. She studied me a moment before putting a hand on her chest, leaning on her left hand to stabilize her seating posture.


    Speaking in an an alien tongue she said something, this lead me to touch search my chest a hand. I thought she meant something may have been there but she shook her head and pointed into her lap. She was clad in a short skirt, which was slit twice in the front revealing two healthy thighs to creamy pale white skin. I inhaled the scent of her body and a certain hunger welled up in me.


    I felt her gaze on me, pulling my focus back. I looked at my chest found nothing that she could be pointing to so I looked lower and found a leaf in my lap. I grabbed it taking it in my right hand.


    "Human, what is that energy you have shrouding you?" The girl asked as she pointed at my chakra. I had no reason to respond but a little conversation is never bad. So I took advantage of her question.


    "This is my chakra, well some of it.. I''ve observed it a bit and it seems my chakra energy comes out of my body and attracts more from the surroundings. Working like with magnet mechanics its increases my own resovoir a great deal." She nodded with a slightly impressed smile. "From the way you explain it, it seems that was a simple explanation based from your own speculation. Is it not?" She said.


    "Yes, this is something I''ve come across recently." I decided not to go in depth and explain my circumstances with. I am certain telling her will toss the flow of this conversation into her hands. I am not interested in that.


    "What does it do?" She asked after studying it for a moment, her eyes were coming here and there on my body not remaining in the same place for too long. Her question was something I had the answer to but I could not tell her that yet so I shrugged. She seemed slight surprised by that action but just as quickly as her discomfort appeared it left her.


    Not knowing how she might react I figured introduction might magnetize her attention somewhere else.


    "I am Sasu. This is my name." I told her hoping the leaf would translate correctly. She blinked before her cheeks went an unoticable tint of red as she moved on introducing her self dramatically with a proud air. "I am Aryna! The daughter of Treg Earl Euthoniss of the 12 heros and a general of the elven army. A True Primordial!" She said studying my expression with impatience. What am I suppose to be scared here? I felt her expectations were just that but did not even know what she was saying. True Primordial? Is there not only one? And maybe coincidental as it may seem I''ve met him already. Still she doesn''t seem to be lying. If I get hold of the dragon I might be able to ask the primordial it self.


    "Sorry, I don''t know of the many primordials or generals you''re referring to but..." I trailed of purposely not wanting to say more. My flip flops felt like they were falling of as I sat down so I shook it back in place and let the elf keep my gaze once more.


    "Lies.." I caught the last second of her shocked visage before her brows furrowed as she soundlessly hopped down from her seat, the large stone. She moved three steps toward me. "Can this be released?" She asked.


    Best guess says shes asking me to release my aura, I nodded without releasing the skill.


    "Release it!" She ordered. Her attitude has changed which confused me but I also thought the concealment part was rude. I don''t want trouble right now so I politely released the skill after crossing my legs, facing her directly sitting on the wet ground. It felt like the dirt would cake into my clothes but I used the suspension skill to keep them from getting filth or dirt for that matter. I thought of doing the same for my skin but I wanted to keep the concept of bathing, not all human attachments are bad but I might do the same thing later and just enable my permanently clean body to bath leisurely.


    The elf girl leaned in close to me who was seated on the floor and she gazed into my eyes. My nose detected a delicious from her cleavage, with few slender black straps crossing over her breast revealing just the some of the top cleavage only seemed more erotic. The silk top she wore was like a corset but was not. I could imagine the size of her breast which had not been.


    "You are not lying." She spoke pulling back my attention. I suppose she found something in my eyes. My skill I suspected concealed me from humans easily enough but elfs are one of the mythical beings with prominent sight so it did not come as much of a surprise when she knew that I was human. After disabling my chakra gathering, the concealment left leaving me exposed to the naked eyes allowing her to see me better.


    "Where did you come from?" She asked me with curiosity in her expression which had been mixed with interest. Even if I tell her she won''t know what of what I speak. I do not intend for the people of this swamp... This island to be involved with the outside world.


    I inhaled the air from our surrounding and I realized the air here is considerably more potent when compared to earth. The pollution and contamination and all was not here. This slate was entirely new when compared to earth.. My home... I dont want my old home anymore! I know.. This is my new home. A feeling courses through my veins and my body, I felt numbness which brought vertigo but I managed. Next my blood boiled and welled in my body before it burned as if it was on fire. I felt energy flow into my legs, it churned in my stomach, coursing through my chest it flowed to my brain and rushed through my entire body as it flowed like a lake.


    I don''t know what this is but I feel as though my power has increased, my gaze snapped to the surroundings as I realized everything move as if in slow motion. Huh? Am I broken? Back to normal please.. My Goddess I hope this is just some other ability-If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.


    I inhaled and tried to calm my beating heart which had begun to panic, I realized a change Instantly everything returned to normal.


    I felt my eyes go wide with shock but after running through a few test I knew that my assumption was correct. I could change my perception speed, reading fast movements no longer would pose a problem. Realizing this I smiled to myself.


    My head was down so in peripheral it wasn''t hard to catch the elf stamp her left foot in frustration. I saw no blemish in her skin as my sight gradually took me up her flawless upholstered legs, beautiful waist, from her buxom, pretty neck, and absolutely kissable face, and finally I met her eyes.


    "I asked you where you came from." She said once more in an impatient tone as she bit her lip. Her cheek had darkened In its red hue. Her rich brown locks, ran down her face in bangs which seemed to shade her eyes, through the shade I saw eyes that did not make contact with my own. Looking off to the side. More tresses cascaded down her back in waves.


    "I am not from this swamp you are also not from this world neither." I spoke finally answering her. Her eyes narrowed under a raised eyebrow as she look me in my eyes. "What''s that suppose to mean?"


    "I bought large acres worth of your land into my world after destroying some of my own. My world is currently due for an apocalypse in a little over 2 weeks from now. Also I have put some form of a barrier completely encompassing this little island of ours. Above, beneath, and all around us." I spoke leaving an utterly surprised look on her face. "Y-you!" She was about to accuse me of lying but of course I told the truth. Tears welled in her eyes as her face reddened for another reason entirely. She took two steps forward and gripped my collar dexterously. "What will happen to my family! What apocalypse! Where have you taken us!?"


    I was hit with her emotion. She was ready to cry now and now I suddenly felt wrong. Why had I done this again? No reason at all.. I found none. I was really interested in something coming from other worlds... But for some reason when I look at everything I don''t regret it. Besides if I did not who could guarantee I would see something so, beautiful?


    My right hand lifted wiping a falling tear from the elf. Her eyes blinked before hatred consumed her eyes. She regarded me with coldly, when I felt my self being lifted in her hands, I allowed my self to fly out of her grip and into the ground.


    The sky spun, the ground cratered and I felt pain smack against my spine before numbness silenced the pain and left.


    I looked to where the elf girl had been seconds before just to see her vanish, hovering over me she appeared again with a leg on either side of my waist she dropped with anger consuming her, I was pummeled into the ground. I felt my skull fracture repeatedly, my brain suffered stab wounds from bones and bled constantly. My nose was broken by a delicate hand clenched into a fist. My chest not to be spared my ribs were broken again, and again, constantly, constantly piercing regenerating lungs. That''s when I felt something pierce my heart. Putting her pointer and middle finger together drove them through my heart between once broken ribs. With both hands she repeated the action in rapid succession until her breath became labored drawing it all to a stop.


    Her body finally relaxed, my blood had gushed all over her face and clothes covering her, its as if the sky rained blood. I was neither mad nor saddened by this, still she had my empathy. I understood her feelings. She was right to feel scared in this situation. Though we were not in the same situation I knew she doubted much of what I''ve said but I do not have an inkling of which part caused her to react so destructively. But this can not go on forever..


    "Are you satisfied?" I spoke after spitting a cups worth of blood out to the side. She cocked back her right hand as she clenched her fist after a moments hesitation it came down towards my head. I checked her fist with my right hand stopping her blow.


    "Can we ever return to our world?" I raised an eye brow, confused. And she clenched her fist maybe thinking I was mocking her. But I held her fist and responded evenly. I told her that I thought the swamp was their world.


    "That''s what information says at least so according to that I bought everything inside the swamp to my world." She shook her head. "My people have found humans all over my home so they spread through all corners of the world to catch and enslave or kill and humans they might find."


    Hearing humans being enslaved or dying does not really effect me. I am not a hero, they can either rise or fall what they do is up to them, that won''t affect me either way. But that does not mean I have no questions.


    "Why are the humans enslaved?" She looked into my eyes a moment with contemplation before she let out a breath. "Elves are superior to the humans in many things. We''re renowned for our power, strength, defense, speed... Any challenge a human sees as difficult amounts to no trouble at all for one of our kind." She said and I stared at her as she let out another breath. She loosened up so I dropped my hand as her hand unclenched falling to her side.


    "The books say humans disrespected the king, Elder to our people in the past, he reigned many years peacefully until some humans crawled out of the ground during a celebration one day. Large humans taller than my people at the time of course.. Tore the castle halls apart before they were subdued by more powerful elves may their name be forever remembered in history. A human ''hero'' appeared just when we thought the fighting had ended and ruined everything. The battle could only end in death, our king died and so did the hero. Enraging both sides we sought to end one another lives and rose from our side a unique breed of elves among others. That''s who we call the primordials. These elves were stronger than any of us worth hundreds to thousands of our men and women. They killed all the larger humans and it became easier for all of us. Its rare for us to encounter a difficult humans." Well this certainly answers plenty of qustions. Now I don''t want to get involved any more than before, I''ll maybe stay here if I''m welcomed. Otherwise I don''t mind sticking around out here. I glanced around the swamp with a smile.


    "I must go back home." She said suddenly as I felt her ass leave my belly. I had felt immense remorse, the lower part of me was waking up but her rise left us both for a loop. As upsetting as it was I pushed against the muddy ground and finally stood up, as I shook my hands hard for the caked mud to come off.


    "Why?" I asked. My fingers flexed and the wet dirt came off in clumps, it felt better for my hands to be freed from all of it. I wondered what would happen if I wiped it on my clothes. I used my pants. The little dirt left rolled into tiny or small sized clumps before falling back into the dirt. My gazed in her eyes and noticed she had watched my actions with a passive look.


    "Mother was getting a show ready for us, tonight" I wanted to explore the marsh a bit more but maybe I can get aqainted with these people. I am also interested in these elves.


    "Can I come?" I asked her. She looked a bit stunned with a oncoming uncertainty crossing her face.


    "Have you listened to my to me at all? Your and my people are at odds. They will be trying to enslave you soon as you come near if they do not kill you first." Ah I forgot that problem, she told me this slightly worried with a mix of irritation. I am not worried about death. I think only that primordial dragon guy can kill me anyways. I intend on being friends with these elves. If not just a guest with a treaty of sorts.


    "That will not be a problem. It is not me and your people who are at odds but those humans. Also I doubt that they can really kill me do you not agree?" I said smirking, I dusted off my clothes before looking into her eyes again meeting her incredulous look.


    She opened her mouth it gapped open like a fish before her lips were pursed close again. "What happens is on you. If something happens do not expect my help." Her eyes closed as she turned, opening again they regained a mysterious glint they had when she first dove into the lake. It was not fear but superiority, gained from experiencing the better sides of life from being in the strongest category.


    "Very well then." I smirked and her feet and my flip flops crushed small blades of grass, cracking and breaking the wet wood of twigs beneath of treading steps. We went deeper into the swamp avoiding trees, hopping huge roots which courses into the ground as we passed in silence.


    I inhaled the air and my blood began boiling once more, it was numb at first when compared to the degree it burned before but I exhaled before deeply inhaling, once more came the burning sensation in my blood as energy from the air flowed through me, making me feel refreshed. I had unknowing gained a hint of exhaustion but this recovered me from that a bit.


    "I do hope at least my and your worlds people can reach an agreement." She said softly, seeming quite concerned over the matter.


    "I doubt it." I said. My ''people'' are humans, politics are trash and we have a hidden superiority complex. Irrationality will consume earth''s humans before any sort of deal could ever be struck. Maybe it would last a while but war will start and I feel differences will override any bonds made between the two before long. But... I could be wrong? But again I really doubt I am.


    "Humans in my world I fear are a pretty irritating bunch." She laughed a bit as she glanced back at me. "I don''t care either way, if they arent stronger than the humans here then they will be enslaved. That''s the only possible outcome." I took a few quick large strides and came to her side before looking into her narcissistic eyes.


    "Was under the impression you wanted us to get along." I heard a loud snap come from a branch crushed beneath my right foot. I ignored it.


    "I believe it is good to be on the side of power. A bond between yourself and my own people is beneficial in it self." She said while she closed her eyes also ignoring a wet snap from a weak twig broken in two beneath her heel. "That is certainly an intelligent answer. But what if I decide to kill your precious people."


    "You do not seem the type of person that would do this, you are too adventurous. Not only that I sense you have an interest in my people." She stated without concern.


    "But if I did decide to-" she cut me off.


    "I would kill you before you could attempt it." She said with a coldness in her eyes. This was the look of a predator warning their prey before it becomes a meal. Comparable to a resting lion scaring off a hyena before it makes the mistake of attacking it. The question had been mere curiosity.


    I shrugged and looked down at my feet, hoping to give the impression that was not my intent. She closed her eyes on me and looked forward as she opened her eyes once more. I hoped I alleviated her by this.


    "We are not that far off. I do hope this goes well." She said with concern ignoring the previous matter. I nodded and followed her through the unfamiliar forestry.

 Ch 27

    When I summoned this place, true I had thought of bringing back nature. But when I had only a swamp in mind I did not think that I would bring this forestry here as well.


    As we were going I began to realize this place I had summoned was not just swamp like what you would see in fantasies but it was forest and so much more.


    The forest was really quite as we past but I could sense the life within it, interesting birds were the only thing daring enough to show.


    I heard a screech and my head tilted back to give me view of the sky above, above flying among the trees were birds with I had never seen before. I could tell they were white before they disappeared into the trees.


    I let my sight take a gander at the the place as we past.


    My senses were in constant shock from encountering things new to them. Although they were familiar with nature this goes beyond my long time beliefs I developed being born a human on earth. The taste of the air was exquisite, granted it made me feel like I could go on forever.


    My old eyes were useless compared to now. I saw things in a grander light everything appeared more lucid than before and the nature around us possessed a specific radiance to them. Small wisp of light came from everything and vanished just moments after it''d come making the place appear magical. The sunlight had hit us at a splendid angle which made me feel quite relaxed despite this unfamiliar situation.


    "We are here." My attention was pulled back to the female elf as she had spoke. I glanced around and I already noticed the lack of grass beneath my sandaled feet. We had treaded dirt for a while before we arrived to where we are now. Before us was a large yard the size of a baseball field, there was a huge wooden house three stories high just at the edge of the forest. All around this baseball like area was dirt with few blades of grass growing randomly.


    The house seemed rather ordinary with few stone structure that worked as both the strength of its foundation and design of intricate, ornate affairs on the material. For a house constructed on top of a dirt surface I thought it had been maintained very well.


    Then I saw the reason..


    Coming around the corner with a anxiousness about him had been a man. His head baled exposing a green tattoo on the side that had no hair to be covered by. He had a stocky build, scars on his body had yet to heal. He wore a white tunic and brown trousers. The handle protruded from either side of the bucket shaped like a semi circle he held it in his left hand, the bucket had a dry white towel which hung off the top edge of it, in his right hand was a wash cloth that originally used to be white but was smudged by the dirt. His right hand wiped the surface of the stone as he attempted also cleaning the ornate affair of it. Before he saw us at least..If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.


    "Lady Aryna!" The suppose slave cried, with long strides he made a bee-line toward us. He had been at the side of the house and we were crossing the front so he had to turn the corner before he stood blocking our path. His actions left me dumbfounded and I was looking like ''why''?


    He dropped the bucket to the ground, the impact made some of the water come out but it was abysmal to the full bucket, I noticed a large leaf floating at the bottom. I heard a thud, the man had fallen on both knees and groveled in front of the elf I''ve been traveling with. Her name is Aryna huh? The man was shivering in fear and his respiration worked overtime as I could practically feel the sweat in the air.


    "You.." Her intense gaze landed on his back. Then she sent a glance at me, looking as if she changed her mind on something she looked back at the guy. "Resume your cleaning duties." The man shook.


    Standing slowly he picked up the bucket and went back to the wash cloth he dropped at the wall he was cleaning, not before shooting me the ''I tried!'' Look as he past.


    "You didn''t have to restrain yourself for me." I said as we continued our steps. She looked at me a moment as I kept pace.


    "I did not do it for you." She said. We were approaching the stairs and stopped. I stopped my tracks as well and looked to one another.


    "That isn''t what I saw back there, I am not here to free these slaves. They are not my people. Don''t worry about me. I''m not here to free them." She looked slightly concerned. "Are you really only here for..? Why did you come here? Its true your interest in my people?" She said appearing confused. I had not told her why I done what I did in detail. But her guess was only partly true.


    "I have come.. because I thought that this would be interesting." I uttered honestly. Her eyes had opened gradually and her mouth ajar. That was before she frowned at me.


    "You came here because it''s interesting?" She exclaimed with electric bolts flying from her head coming with being stunned I nodded as I tried to hold back a laugh. "You- I told you they would kill you right! Why have you come anyways!?"


    "But were you not the woman who lead me here? And whats this, when do your elves not want to enslave humans?" I asked her. From astonishment to shock, only her mouth hung open before her lips came together again. "I won''t mind being your slave ya'' know?" I got to see her mouth open again as she returned to the stunned look. I watched her eyes narrow and smirked to my self, as I allow my self to be amused by her.


    "E-enough games!" She shouted as she stomped pass like a kid, she ascended the steps. Her skirt was tighter in back. The shape of her hips and the delicate curves of her back were imaginable.


    "Ill wait here." I told her. She shot me a glare for a few seconds before she swung open the door with her left hand, stepping in she disappeared inside before slamming it shut.


    I chuckled at her mix of emotions. I sighed and looked at the steps. I sat down on the top most step, the third one and my bending my knees I spread my sandaled feet across the first step and studied the vast open space in front of the house. When I felt like I was being watched I looked to my side and found the human slave from before. I lifted an eye brow at his pose. He had two hands next to eachother wrapping the corner of the wall as his head stuck out with the other half of his body. Only his neck properly hidding behind the wall. After he saw me raise an eyebrow only then did he run from his post and go back to cleaning.


    I thought of playing parrot a little and repeating his actions but decided not to waste my time. Soon enough ill be meeting the ''True primordial'' it looks like. I don''t intend on anything big so I also hope that this goes well.


    "What do I do?" I asked to my self and my gaze went to the skies.

 Ch 28 part 1

    I won''t concern my self over it...


    When finally meet with this self proclaimed "true primordial" I want to achieve peace between my humans and the elves. If I decide to let the elves mingle with the humans I want to attempt a peaceful life between the two of them. Atleast in Japan....


    I thought of saving other places across the world but I could not feel my heart in them. Home was here as greed and as selfish as it may look, it loomed over me a while but why should I force my self.


    Soo... I guess I''ll save Japan. That is the place where my loved ones reside anyway.... Right? Nor am I a hero. The apocalypse is in two weeks now. By then my chakra will have increased to a certain level allowing me to save my home...


    I feel my face scrunch itself into a frown as my eyebrows come to my eyes as said eyes squint. What a hypocrite..


    Is it wrong to protect those I care about?


    Is saving my entire country wrong?


    Should I do my best to save the other countries?


    What about the people in the U.S?


    Should I extend my hand...?


    There has to be a way I can elude the skill some how.


    I let my eyes close slowly so that anyone would think of it as is I had just fallen asleep. The blue screen appeared moments later in the my now darkened world.

    So that means that the blue-screens has an auto functions. And the one, Goddess is not who I am speaking to now.


    Wonder if she''s still locked in battle with ''that...''


    No... She should be fine.


    I look back to the blue screens and tell it. "Can you show my the summon skill?"


    The previous screen disappears before another shown up with my skill on it allowing me to view my skill.

    Summoning Skill:


    Spoiler: Spoiler


    <div>


    Elemental entity summon ~ okay brat, here''s how this works. You can summon anything you can think of with ALL of its traits and abilities~ but there''s a catch. Just as [Frozen Realm] does this also requires chakra. You will be charged chakra to summon and.... ..To maintain your summon Sasu!


    First of all the price to summon goes according to your chance of defeating your summons which are of course all very loyal to you! (Ok maybe not the strong willed with a clear conscious..but mad summons are now loyal hence you can summon undead.)


    Example: If you summon a skeleton Goddess-sama believes 100% you will emerge victorious, thus it takes 0% chakra to summon which leaves you to maintain it with merely a thought. Yet still these can become stronger like a skeleton peladin for example. This more depends upon its blessing but lets say you have 95% chance to defeat one meaning 5% chakra to maintain it.


    Second is really this skill goes according to individual battles so you don''t need to worry about spam summoning. If you can kill a demon lord in a solo battle then you can summon it, this however doesn''t affect summoning two demon lords as long as you can subdue a demonlord in a single duel (one on one) .If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.


    Third is the element of your summons is your own element. If a Queen with an assassins class has lightning and fire then those are both eliminated and replaced with your element upon summoning. As experienced as she would have been with fire she is with your element now.

    It seems there really isn''t many limits placed on this one ability. There is one thing bothering me though.


    The range..


    I can summon something only as far as I can spread my chakra, that is where chakra sense comes in. By increasing my chakra resovoir this will enable me to further my summoning ability.


    But this is not everything, the Goddess told me something more to this summon skill. Now if only I can remember it..


    After giving it a moments of thought I was ready to wave the screen away and think of other methods but just before I could give the blue-screen my gratitude my mind was flooded with familiar memories to its surface.


    ~Flashback: Goddess and Sasu


    She gave an ''ah'' and began teaching him his new ability. "Right I took into account plenty when I crafted this skill. You only have to know what you want to summon in mind, its position as in where you will summon it, and don''t forget to add chakra." She explained.


    "Wait, when I read it, it stated not all summons require chakra." He said a bit confused.


    "Everything requires something. Your energy will be used to initiate the spell and not only show the summon you are master but so that it knows your signature. Otherwise if you are not with the summon; it finding you will be a problem."


    "I see.." Sasu put a hand to his chin and went into thought. "Well, the area is too damn small for a dragon so it will have to be the skeletons."


    ~~End of Flashback


    ~


    "I''m grateful.." I voiced to the screens.


    <table>


    <tbody>


    <tr>


    <td>Will that be everything?</td>


    </tr>


    </tbody>


    </table>


    I noted its short words but dismissed them. Pains nothing any way and this ''AI'' had indeed been of great use.


    "Yes, you''ve been a great help. That will be all for now."


    <table>


    <tbody>


    <tr>


    <td>It was my pleasure.. Until next time.</td>


    </tr>


    </tbody>


    </table>


    "Yes." I spoke back as I nodded. The blue screen had already begun to disappear, once the screens left I let my eyes open once more.


    Of course the first noticeable detail that graced my eyes, the sun was still fairly high in the sky and not yet fallen. I felt the steps I had sat upon still beneath my arse and the scenery had not changed and so has Aryna not returned just yet.


    Deduction: I have only spent maybe an hour with the blue-screens that have been recently updated by the Goddess, said blue-screen are more like a specialized intelligence now. By its own words an AI.


    Ah! I should be putting this to use now as well.


    On the side note there''s much more to that event then it seems. The elf girl is dangerous is my deduction. If I had not continued to heal my self via regeneration fragments of skull could have pierced my brain and I have seen it enough in stories, I dont want to find out what happens when something dangerous happens to my brain. So when my skull constantly sharded I needed to regenerate the broken fragments back into place with the rest of my skull, fast enough so that the sharp shards of bone did not shred my brain to bits and pieces.


    However, through all that, the beating helped me to find something else. Even with my improved body I still stood no chance against her. Her punches against my defense, her speed against my senses. My eyes could not follow the movements. My lacked the sturdiness required to suffer her might. I could not weather her hits at all..


    I am indeed much stronger than your average human but I had yet to become invincible to the humans of my own world. They could take me down with creativity. No... Even a sneak attack would cut it..


    My eyes glared upon facing the ground, my previously relaxed hands became tensed by my thought.


    I need my strength... More! I require more of it!


    If only I had more chakra... I need to refine much more of it. Then refine it into my body enhancing.


    This lack of chakra could surely be my downfall!


    I need more! So much more chakra just this..


    I have to cover all of Japan with chakra for this summoning I have planned. I must stay close enough to keep Lydia protected. The guard I summoned for her is certainly strong, the mythical entity has an impressive ability but how can I not want to protect her myself? Important things like this are better done by ones own hand!


    Thought flowing in such a direction I inevitably do what comes next. I check my chakra gauge.


    <div>


    <div>


    <div>


    <div>


    <div>


    124214 is my guess if I''m including the 2000 which I had used to let me make full use of demonic shifting ability. But the original total would have been 126214.


    Lets see if I''m right.


    Chakra gauge: 123814/123814

 Ch 29

    An elf had appeared.


    The tall elf wore simple clothing, a white tunic and trousers. His hair silver in color that goes with the color of his eyes. He has white skin slightly paler than normal. The obvious feature his ears made it clear that he is indeed an elf.


    "Who might you be?" I said as I looked at the elf.


    The elf man closed his eyes for a moment then opened up as he turned around, sauntering off in the other direction.


    He seems familiar somehow. Who is he? What does he want with me? Well he obviously has something private to speak about. I check my belt for my sword, its in place at my hip.


    Alright, I guess ill see what he wants.


    Then I will need to return. I cant have her thinking I wandered off alone.


    And so I find myself entering the forest after the elf.


    ~


    We walked five minutes.


    This time around, treading to forest I couldn''t put the surrounding into mind much less give my consideration. I had wondered if she had returned to look for me on the porch. Contrary to her expectations she would find me gone and should things go wrong then my plans to establish a connection with the elves through cooperation with her are all sophistry.


    "Tell me again.. Why you''ve brought us here.." He spoke after studying me.


    "Why- wha- what?" I stammered.


    He rested a hand on the pummel of his sword. At this his actions quickly spread calmness with in me. Like a sedative.


    "You brought this Land to an ENTIRELY new realm! ..What are you?" He said.


    Had he seen us in the swamp before? I have explained this to Aryna but I had not found any spectators. Nor did I concern my self with them either, recklessness.


    "This was just a self serving event.. I did this to satisfy my own ideals." I answered honestly.


    A look of shock appeared on his face but was replaced with seriousness.


    "One of my questions are still lacking answer."


    Well he doesnt seem mad I took his Land to an entirely new place, I guess the event overall is pretty much astonishing. How could you respond to unexpectedly being brought somewhere else, also this is done by a single person.Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.


    "I assure you I''m human!"


    "No records of our history state a human being as capable as all that.. Not even the tiatanous human tribes of the the age." He said obviously weary of me. His hand not leaving the sword.


    "How powerful were the titans exactly?" I asked.


    "Not powerful, though they were certainly a capable bunch. I never knew what heaps of muscle could do until I seen the magicless titan oblitering enchanted walls of our castle... ..Ignoring spell after spell the heap of muscle inconvenienced us considerably." He sighs and look up to the sunlight from the sky above shown through the trees. "....Still I somehow took down that one and a number of its brethren with it. My swordsmanship still hasn''t dulled in the years its been."


    Is he trying to fight me?


    "I have faith."  -Me


    "Honor me with a duel... Human." -Elf


    So thats it..


    Well I don''t have a problem with it.


    Wait, hold on.


    Actually, wont this action compromise my own plans?


    "Sorry. Pressing matters bid me not to. You see, I have plans with Aryna to-"  -Me


    "To discuss with me friendly terms with us elves." He quoted.


    What does this mean? He said ''me'' right? But who.. is this?


    I studied his features with improved eyes and noted his the color.


    Eyes just like Aryna''s. Gray like in the ambiance of the storm. A daunting pair of eyes.


    Could it be?


    "Are you..?"


    "Her Father? Yes. Also I can assure you this wont compromise your request. In fact if you do well I will make certain of our relationship."


    "..."


    He answered honestly enough but still I hesitated.


    Seeing my hesitation he decided on a different approach. "One strike."


    "Huh?"  -Me


    "Just one strike then we''re done." He insisted.


    "That''s all?"  -Me


    "You have my word."


    "Sigh.."


    I still haven''t learned the amount of refined chakra that I need.


    I don''t want to do this so early but he''s not really leaving my any choice.


    Fine! Lets show him that I''m no push over and put him in his place..


    My mind practically hissing as adrenaline pumped, coursing through my veins for an attack.


    Before I knew it I had gently drawn my sword from its sheath. Recklessly holding it off to the side, equipped at the palm of my right hand holding the handle loosely.


    "I see you are finally resolved."


    He said as he got into his battle ready stance. Bending his knees, his orientation crouched. He drew his sword from its sheath partially, leaving it ajar.


    "Something like that."  -Me


    "Hm." He said as he ran at me. His movements blurred until he vanished from sight.


    Fast! He fast!


    I decided to leap into action and move from where I had been only to find my ankle caught by strong blades of grass from the growth beneath us.


    I was surprised but I looked up from my ankle just to find him angle his sword beneath my throat, from the chin.


    "Its over." He said looking into my eyes with slight disappointment.


    "Not yet." I spoke and what I had been waiting for had finally come.


    His clothes fell apart at angles from his shoulders, torso, back, and legs looked as if they were cleanly cut slashed by blade.


    He let out a flabbergasted ''huh'' as he stood straight and I somehow missed him sheathing his sword no longer at my neck.


    "I believe this is over sir Earl!" I said with a smile.


    He stood in shock but went. "Apparently so? I must be getting old." I chuckled at this.


    "Lets get back." I said.


    "I wish to stand here for a bit." -Earl


    "Haha ok." And with that I used ''shift'' and disappeared leaving a shocked elf primordial behind and appearing back on the porch.


    And what I saw was..

 Ch 30

    "Thank you. I''ve had a wonderful visit." I said pleasantly.


    "Of course! You can expect nothing less from us." Said her vivacious mother elf as Aryna stood off to to the side watching me impatiently.


    "Do you mind explaining to me why you''re coming with me?" I inquired the waiting elf.


    "We''ve been through this before-" she said as I cut her off.


    "Then again please.." -Sasu


    "Ugh." She groaned. "For the thousanth time you must show me that barrier you have constructed!"


    "Why you do have to come with me is what I don''t understand.."


    "Should I come instead?" Asked her mother.


    "Uhm.." Over the past 2 weeks I have stayed in this place with this family with Earl (the father), Mystia Oliwa (the mother), and Aryna. Contrary to my expectations things were actually peaceful here. The few time humans appeared just to be put down and enslaved were minor disturbances quickly dealt with by Earl and Aryna.


    I asked why he didn''t take care of them by him self but was replied with "She needs to learn. Intellect, experience, battle, the maneuvers." To which I replied my understanding. "I get it."


    Besides the small interruptions when I arrived back I was just in time for the "entertainment", the humans were either outright disgusting or torturing one another between them selves. In an organized manner. It was set in several groups varied by what the family desired at the time.


    I was stolen by surprise when there was a human play of something similar to Romeo and Juliet, it was great right up until Earl decided to stab Romeo in real time as the play was on going. Shock on my face was apparent at the time while Mystia had an amused expression watching my reaction.


    Even more shocking "Juliet" was forced to continue alone but where Romeo could not play she took on both roles playing his character right down until he died it became difficult to a whole new degree.


    The girl when looking into the glass vial she hesitated to down the poison, that''s when her eyes lifted to glance at me with those eyes of hope and expectation. She wanted me to.. To save her.


    -Do not look at me with such eyes.. You will ruin what I have going here so do whatever it is they tell you. By the way is that death poison real?/ I thought.


    I raised my hands in my seat in a ''Dont involve me'' manner and she bite her lip coming to tears shouting indignant statements about me being a traitor and such. I felt gazes from my sides coming from the elves all present were us four and a few human maids in their formal maid attire.


    -Was this actually a test maybe? Maybe I had been expected to interfere here../ I thought.


    After a glance Earl stood and waved a hand as he cast his order to the human actress. "Drop it. You are due for a performance later, go prepare!" She bowed as elegant as she was capable going a perfect 90¡ã . she rose slowly and gave me a side glance... No. A glare.


    -Does she really see me as a traitor? Never mind that.. Why is there hatred in those eyes?/ I thought.


    And the actress walked off disappearing from the room.


    "I think.." Earl spoke before turning to the rest of us. "We can expect your cooperation to an extent." He said.


    "To an extent?" I said confused. I believe if this were a test I passed with flying colors. Or did they see something? My brows furrowed unconsciously.


    "Yes, its just a way I do things. Not only through experience but expectation, I do hope that you take not this to heart." He said This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.


    "Understood."


    This did not really offend me, in fact I''m the same way. Its better to expect things than to be left with your back open for a back stabbing. Besides through similarities we would be able to strengthen our bond would we not?


    "I''m just the same way. None of us wants to find an unexpected knife in the back." I said with a smile plastered countenance.


    "We see eye to eye.. Besides this your power is at a good level." He said. I got the feeling down played my powers quite a bit just now. Was it for arrogance?


    Aryna had gotten a look of suspicion about her but said nothing.


    "You two are getting along well!  And this is common ground we have found is it not?" Mystia said seemingly pleased with an expressive smile on her face.


    ""Yes"" We say at the same time, with a bit of shock appearing on our faces.


    "Dear, why don''t we go and agree to this boy''s request." Said Mystia.


    A bit of hesitation, a thoughtful expression appeared but a short moments later he agreed.


    This action set me on my feet. I took step after step which eventually carried me toward until I met the self proclaimed elf primordial. He seemed puzzled but I could feel his energy welling up in very slight caution.


    It was not as though he planned to blast me and cut me to pieces for just doing this. We really only just met so he has the correct approach in his caution here.


    I put forward my right hand and hope this has the same universal meaning.


    A bit shocked but he doesn''t show it long enough for a normal person to notice. He shook my hand.


    "Too find my self shaking hands with the very being that we enslave. You have my... What do we call this? You are the only one right?" He said with A firm to confused look.


    "No, there are others." This gave everyone an unwilling look so I decided to quickly finish my sentence. "There exist other humans of course as does wild life and proper foundation but the only one I desire to involve in this is my dear sister." I said hurriedly.


    "Hmm.. You mean to say an actual civilized human exist?" He looked a bit surprised but there is disbelief on everyone.


    I mean I stand before you don''t I?  Or rather Am I civilized? Don''t answer that..


    "Yes. And contrary to your humans they stay above ground. In properly constructed homes and business, schools, careers, and work and such." I said in a breath.


    This information left a few stunned faces around the large room.


    "I would like to see this." Mystia spoke in an interested manner.


    Seeing his wife''s interest peaked he decided to interrupt. "But dear you cant, you are well aware of what happens if they don''t find you here. As the wife of a primordial and because of your power I would get an earful!" He complained


    "Is that all? So if I''d left then none of you would miss me is that correct?" Mystia replied.


    "I had not meant-" Earl


    "Then I am leaving when he does!" Before I knew it she had linked arms with me as she screamed her declaration cutting Earl off.


    As beautiful as she is with extremely gorgeous hair long burning redish-pink tresses long and down her back. Her perfect features and her body being absolutely gorgeous I was not enjoying this. If he targets me for this then it could ruin everything. So I stayed stock still to watch this play through.


    "Dear do not...do this.." He said leaving gaps between his sentence.


    Mystia waited.


    "Please..." He said.


    "Well we could send Aryna if that''s the case." She said finally.


    "Yes that would be better.." He sighed in relief.


    -Haha I think my journey just got complicated. So I have to care for an entire elf during an apocalypse!? Not that I''m worried much about her persay but the civilians. Wait what if there''s a possible infection ability the zombies carry? Goddess I came to play "God" so tell me why do I feel backed against the corner!/ I screamed indignantly inside my mind.


    ~


    "Madam Mystia, if you come or not is your decision but if you wish to come along I am willing." I said to her as I lowered my head before straightening up. "I will take my leave." I said and gave Earl a final glance. In his eyes was he sent me a message "take care of her." I nodded and sauntered back to the direction we came from with Aryna coming beside me.


    ~


    The two stood and watched the human and elf pair disappear into the forest.


    One seemed interested in following the pair while the other seemed to have a difficult expression.


    "I wonder if they will arrive in time.." Said Mystia as their backs finally became to hidden in the forestry to recognize.


    "..."


    "I would have loved to venture once more, OUT! out into the world that is entirely new to me. All the sights and the activity, the festivities." She said.


    "..."


    Her eyes left forestry and gave a peek to her husband.


    He stood in silence as his focus remained absolutely trained on the view ahead.


    She pushed harder. "Is this this the proper way to express your love!?"


    "You can go." He spoke.


    In an instant her expression became absolute happiness and a sour Earl was given a peck to his cheek by an euphoric Mystia.


    "As expected of you my husband." She said. Happily and quickly left before he could change his mind.


    ~


    "Is this the proper way you express your love? ..... Pffft" said a lone man on a porch.


    And an enraged elf went off to his own devices.


    ~


    "So you''ve come..?"

 Ch 31 part 1

    Two prying silhouettes stood up high in the trees on a thick branch whilst conversing in hushed tones over a house in the woods.


    Scout 1 "So she really left... Just like that?"


    Scout 2 "Well well... You can''t say this was unexpected. She''s been off at the ears on how she''s wanted to adventure again and.."


    Scout 1 "Hold on! Whose ears? I''ve been the only one acting like Maladies private diary!"


    Scout 2 "My my, what a respectful tone you have. In four decades dont tell me your mind has finally croaked under the ''Maladies'' beuteous duress."


    Scout 1 "No it hasn''t but... In case that there are are onlookers the respectful approach is best. And I woo women not the other way around!"


    Scout 2 "Haha" he laughed. "ok because if there were otherwise then a certain someone wouldn''t be able to just sit eating fresh grapes any more, I wouldn''t want your blood on my hands, you''re aware right?"


    Scout 1 "What do you take me for? From all of the conversation she makes I''m more worried that my blade has dulled over my head."


    Scout 2 "Well if its that then I could help you with it!"


    Scout 1 "That would be ideal.."


    Scout 2 "Yeah but first lets report. And don''t expect me to go easy on ya!"


    With their objective seemingly complete the scouts leap from the trees and head off some where towards the town.The author''s tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.


    ~


    The other two had been on their way to the barrier which was constructed with Sasu''s unusual power.


    -She''s been pretty quiet so far but something is obviously on her mind. /Sasu thought.


    They have already come as far as a couple of miles.


    Judging by their pace they would reach the barrier in hours.


    Although the quiet never really bothered Sasu he thought it appropriate to get to know his new comrades a little better. At first glance this would seem an like armistice agreement of sorts but he rather think of them as comrades.


    "You have something on your mind right? Lets hear it." He said as he was unable to remain quiet.


    She continued to walk quietly as she thought of telling him but as they went on it seemed as though Sasu was unheard by the girl. Sasu stopped where he stood and looked back at her.


    Strange enough her gaze was focused not on him but ahead. She had just lifted her leg to step higher over a root from the ground completely ignoring its existence as an obstacle.


    When Sasu stopped he also happened to step to the side making enough room for her to walk by and that she did gratefully. But he was was only off enough to avoid being completely hit.


    "Whaa."


    The impact was enough to make him fall after knocking him off balance. That''s how strong she was but surprisingly she continued on.. As if nothing at all has happened!


    "Wait! .... Hey!" Sasu shouted. This had not made him angry but completely ignoring him like this rubbed him the wrong way in an annoying way.


    Sasu jackknifed to his feet. Despite all of his yelling she still focused on the path in front of her with a straight look. He wanted to remove this trance like state she was in. This time he ran and grabbed her shoulder but contrary to his expectations the sky spun and his back felt great pain upon meeting the ground.


    He again jackknifed to his feet just to be met with her glare.


    Although she glared that''s all that happened until she looked forward.. Only to continue as she had been.


    "Hah?" Sasu let out in surprise.


    This was done a few times until finally Sasu decided to just walk beside her. Aside from fortunately having stiff shoulders removed he was tired of the broken spine he would get.

 Ch 31 END

    Walking past the trees and around few bushes on her path was an elegant and charming female elf. This was Mystia. Its been years since Mystia has been out on the road for an adventure, she loved to the challenges, the scenery, getting to know more about the party you were with while facing hard times together, facing challenges. This was merely just drama, she knew it too but she loved the exploration! After all who wouldn''t? People die for this stuff!


    Therefore her stride carried her forward with a pleasant smile. Not only was she young in appearance, seemingly only to be twenty, she also felt like a girl again.


    That''s when a thought occurred.


    "There she goes again. Just like her father." Mystia said aloud as she spotted her daughter Aryna staring straight ahead.


    Just to the side also walking this path within the narrow outline of trees was a boy of unnatural black hair. This had peeked her interest consistently but there was something that drew back her hand upon any sneak attempt at touching his head. It wasn''t bad nor was it good, just a feeling of ''its not mine so I cant touch it''. But this only made her want to touch it more!


    Then she noticed his facial expression: exasperation.


    From the looks of things he must have just found out how frustating this habit is!


    "It seems to me we may be more alike than I thought" she said quietly with a giggle.


    Which she presumed may have been too loud so she quickly hid behind one of the large tree with the ease given by her superior physical capabilites. Once hidden she quickly peeked around the tree only to find the boy''s ears twitch. ''Seems he noticed me already'' Mystia thought. She had hoped she would get to watch a little longer but the plans she began had already been shot down hence she pouted.The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.


    Stepping from behind the trees was an elegant female elf. Her long redish-pink hair was among many of the charming aspects she possess but Sasu knew this woman to be Mystia. Although he seemed all but surprised and simply glanced at her, he was inwardly reacting. ''how can I watch two elves?'' He thought. ''much less that being the problem but these are women!''


    That''s right, Sasu had no problem with them being elves. If it was just that then there was not a problem. If these were guys he could simply tell them something and send them back a couple of days later. No problem. But even though the point of this trip was experience and scenery and bring back their story to the Earl it was now a problem. He knew these two on an entire different level.


    "So why did you come?" He inquired as he turned around.


    "Yes mother, why?" What surprised Sasu was that Aryna had actually stopped. And even turned to face her mother. The trance was gone.


    Mystia appearing from the woods was really unexpected to Sasu but with adapted senses he managed to hear a small giggle. The small giggle caught his attention making him reign in the surroudings under his chakra using it to sense thing near by, and in this case it was Aryna''s Mother.


    "Oh.. Just a stroll" Mystia said unable to hide her grin.


    Sasu, from just that, already knew where this was going. However he could do nothing about it so he just started walking.


    This proceeded with Mystia happily announcing her intentions on coming on an adventure and of course it was a given but Aryna decided to stick around until her mother decided to come back home. Thus it was decided Sasu would be looking after both of these elf until.. When ever their adventure ends.


    Inwardly sighing Sasu wish for his own wishes to be granted, but, as the so called ''God'' of this world thats up to whom exactly?
