Hello guyz. This is my first fanfiction. Please don't bash me for my bad grammar and all that stuff.
So when re-read my work, there was some mistake, so I corrected it.
What was I thinking, taking a nuclear to the face. Yeah that turned out alright. I sat up and started to look around. All I can see was trees... and more trees... and more trees...
"Where the fuck am I!"
Okay, calm down and let think straight for a while. I look up to the stars and frowned.
The stars are strange, no noticeable constellation that I recognize. Well, when that nuclear explode, all I can feel was being... no, no, no... but... Sigh~ this is bull shit, I refuse to acknowledge the fact that... aaah, fuck... is it possible... well, let's find out...
I walked through the woods into the darkness. After a while... well, I don't have any idea long it was, since when does a virus give a fuck of time... I'm immortal bitches... well, technically semi-immortal, but who cares about that shit anyway. The sound of explosion was heard. I immediately change my form into an animal, a wolf to be precise. And I peeked out of the bush to the front.
"You will not leave the knowledge of Roots from us, Hyugo."
A man with a pinwheel-like blood red-shot eye spoke tonelessly... in Japanese. He wore a black tight shirt together with a matching set of pant. He stood above the tree with a sandal and wore a mask that only reveals his eye with a Kanji on the forehead.
The Hyugo wore a long sleeved tan shirt with dark blue cargo pants. A metal adorn his head. He stood opposite of the Useecar.
"Go to hell Useecar!"
The Hyugo guy spat. As soon as the Useecar jumped down, he clenched his teeth and rushed to the man with hand blazing... well not blazing but coated in a white... The useecar just parry his hands not touching his coated palm. The Hyuga suddenly opened a stance and about to rush at the masked guy.
Suddenly, the earth underneath him burst open and another masked guy immediately stabbed a ninjato to his stomach dragging it to his heart, effectively killing the white-eyed guy. The other masked man turned to a puff of smoke.
The speed of people here are way above the normal human standard. The metal plate on their possibly signify allegiance... but similar sign means, probably an argument or something. Well, let's see the settlement then. What the...
Blood splashed my face, the Useecar was looking completely emotionless, stepping on the other guy stomach while holding his head. I sigh and thought... Why not? I morphed back, and dashed to the masked guy, immediately changing my right hand to my blade mode.
His eyes widen in surprise, however it was no longer tinted with red. I cleaved downward, splitting him and the other guy into half, immediately began to consume them... well, if I didn't... I ain't called Mercer.

Well, this is embarrassing... The Uchiha was a Root member of an underground organization that kills the emotion of its member. The scuffle between them was due to the fact that the Hyuga encounter the Root headquarter and was about to notify the Yondaime Hokage of it. However he was caught by the member and was chased down.
That was when I felt the chakra being integrated into me. The warmth feeling with a hint of spark, heat and sand circulated through my entire Blacklight composition as if each and every cell changed to accommodate the presence if chakra. When the changes occurred, a sudden feeling reached my eyes. It felt like my eyeballs were merging with two other sets of eyeball. I closed my eyes, pained. As soon as pain eased, I looked around and stood in silence. My vision was better and it felt…. great.
Suddenly, a roar was bellowing with a strong gale of wind. I narrowed my eye to the source of the sound. Remember about doujutsu, I utilized the new chakra pool, I channelled a miniscule of chakra to my eyes, immediately widening my field of vision to max and higher perception of time and movement. From the distance I saw an enormous long nine-tailed bunny.
I convert my body composition to become more lean changing my clothes altogether. I now wore clothes similar to the Root and I moved through the canopy of the forest, dashing toward were the sound reverberated. My body ultimately felt lighter with the circulation of chakra, increasing my movement speed. The huge bunny, well, on closer inspection the animal seemed to be a fox or something. I used my biomass to coat myself with camouflage and created a few hand-seal for chakra based technique to further improve my stealth by using camouflage skill, remembered through the search of the Root memories.
When the fox disappeared and appeared behind me, I immediately stopped further movement and stayed as still as possible. As soon as I did that, red barriers were deployed on to the surrounding and I watched with amazement as hundreds of chakra chains slammed onto the fox from a red headed woman, attired like a housewife. I noticed it was the famous Red Death, S-Rank kunoichi from the Hyuga memories.
I saw the Hokage forming an unknown seals and started to pull something out of the fox to his stomach and then cause the fox to shrink a bit. The Uzumaki appeared, started to talk to the Hokage. In their lax of awareness during the argument, the fox tried to stab a baby placed on a weird cradle on the ground, seals encrypted on the ground, with his? her? its nail, whatever the gender it is. Immediately, the parent was quick enough to block the attack with their own body. Coughing out blood, the woman spoke to the baby.

Remembered about chakra, I quickly tried to reinforce my ear with it.
Naru.., ..om now .., you're going to face lots of pain and hardship.. Be true to yourself.. Have a dream and have the confidence to make that dream come true.. There's so much.. Oh, so much more that I want to pass on to you.. I wish I could stay with you longer.. I love you"
My eyes felt wet. I am not crying dammit! Dust entered my eyes! Sniff... Sniff... Trying to stifle my tears, I missed what the Hokage had just said. All I heard was a shout that snapped me out of my reverie.
After that, the Hokage sealed the fox into the baby while it, yeah the fox, curses to oblivion. The seals inscribed on the ground slowly travelled toward the baby's navel. I walked slowly toward them not revealing myself. The Hokage held her wife's hand as tears soaked his eyes. I crouched next to the baby and poked at the seal. Apparently, both ninja that I consumed are very ignorant of knowledge. I sighed. Hearing me, the Hokage eyes looked straight into me and I stiffen. I slowly removed my camouflage, as respect to the dying man.
"Help... Prot...ect and... Provide... h.. Cough... cough.. Please.. I know... that.. jinchuuriki... grew up... alone.. I can only... hope.. that my... fear is... unfounded.. I don't know... who you are... but... please..."
His eyes stared into mine like an endless pit that judges your very soul. The silence was stiffening, the wind howl onto the area, the barrier started to dim as his life force was prolonged by mere will and desire for his child to grow up happy even if his choice, may led the child to path of destruction as I once was. I sigh. The fact that I was once a mass murderer considered at his word send amusement down my down my stomach.
"Yeah... whatever"
When the word was spoken, the unknown burden on his very soul seemed to lift and happiness returned to his eyes. Oh, how I envy his naivety to the world, to expect an unknown man to uphold his word, I chuckled at his motivation. The barrier collapsed, I re-cloaked myself and stiffen next to the baby stand. I watched as three figure shunshin-ed into the area, not noticing my presence.
The Third... I believe... told the ANBU to take the child... and stand wait... He walked toward the now died Namikaze with weary in his steps... not noticing the sheer disgust and hatred emanating from the two ANBU... In silence, I walked behind the two, with an ingenious idea, created a clone out of biomass. I nodded at my clone. In the same motion, both me and my clone, pulled their mask upward, clasped their mouth, with the other hand sharpened, stabbed on his throat downward, immediately consuming the two ANBU...

Hiruzen... not noticing anything simply told me to follow him and my clone were told to gather the council members for meeting... I cradled the baby and followed him to the Hokage's office. Upon reaching the, he told me to wait as he took out a pipe and started smoking watching outside the window. Then he looked at me with a heavy gaze. I simply bowed to him.
"My apology Sandaime-sama, you really shouldn't smoke in the presence of a child"
He chuckled at me, and simply smiled widely while putting out the pipe.
"I'm happy that you would see pass the beast, and putting the child health above anything else."
He spoke longingly. I acted stiff and immediately kneeled down, cradled the baby closer.
"I'm sorry for my disobedience!"
He chuckled.
"No, no, no. It's alright, it's heartening for me to see that you care for the child."
I stood and nodded to him. I then, peered into the bundle to see the baby's as she yawned and snuggled into my chest. A sudden shift in the air, noted the arrival of my clone and he informed the Sandaime that the meeting room has already filled.
He signaled me to follow him and I sent a mental image to the clone telling him to infiltrate, consume and impostor all Roots to avoid problems in the future. After all, those who hold the darkness reigned supreme in the society. He left and I followed Hiruzen by the shadows. We walked to the meeting room. I waited in the shadow behind his shadow while he sat at his seat, waiting for others too come. As the meeting starts, the council talked about the destruction, the re-instatement of the Third, death count, hospitals and reconstruction. And before the meeting ends, I was signed to move to Hiruzen's side.
"Why have you called for the child, Hiruzen?"
The war hawk spoke. Everyone else nodded to his question.
"This is the Kyuubi jinchuuriki."
Silence fell upon them. When a brief of understanding flickered in their eyes, chaos dawned upon the room. The civilians demanding for death of the child and the shinobi head and the elders did nothing to pacify the reaction. Hiruzen's eyes widen in horror at the mere thought of killing an innocent child. His visage abruptly turned to anger and killing intent spiked in the room, silencing all argument.
"I will not have an innocent child be sentenced to death!"
Silence settled in the room before being broken by a pink haired women, no, a pink headed banshee was more likely, screeched out.
"That demon shou..."
A burst of another killing intent spiked and another moment of calm reign upon them.
"Her name is Naruko Uzumaki."
Hiruzen stressed the name. The killing intent stopped.
"Why not give her to me? I'll make a protector out of her."
The war hawk spoke and the idea was accepted by the other two Elders. He however didn't notice the Hokage quivering in anger. With another burst of high dosed killing intent, Hiruzen slammed down his hand, hard on the table cracking it at the same time. A council man fainted at sheer pressure pressed on them.
"I will not have an emotionless weapon of destruction at your hand Danzo! Your hands are sinned as it is, I will not have another tainted in your hand!"
Danzo glared at Hiruzen while the shinobi head nodded. Suddenly a rush of memory hit me. I tried to block the memory. The infiltration had begun. As the silence continued, I thought on how to take care of the child. It wouldn't do for an adult to suddenly have interest in a baby especially the jinchuuriki.
"In that case, why not give her to the Uchiha? We would surely raise her into,"
"A stuck up, power hungry woman? Or a child with no form of love directed at her?"
Before Uchiha Fugaku even finished, Hyuga Hiashi cut off his words. He glared at the Hyuga head as the other just looked stern. Nara Shikaku just lifted his hand and all eyes were on him.
"It's best you place her in the orphanage, having a Jinchuuriki in a clan will severely disrupt the power of each clan, avoiding civil war. Even if it was Inoichi the one who adopt her, I won't deny that even I would have to do something."
Yamanaka Inoichi looked pained at the thought and was about to counter the fact before his shoulder were grabbed by Akimichi Chouza as he shakes his head.
"Yes, yes."
Hiruzen nodded in understanding.
"Now dismiss."
The council members walked mechanically out of the room. As soon as the last person walked out, Hiruzen sighed and a wary and tired look entered his eyes. It speaks of his old age catching up to him. He took the child and I was dismissed for the night.
I shunshin-ed out of there and headed to my room in the ANBU headquarter or to be precise, Nara Ikura. On the way, I created my Blacklight Clone and send him to continue to act as ANBU. I went to the Roots Headquarter and waits for the war hawk to return. As soon as he returned, two of my Root clones sneak behind his guards and consumed them from behind while he was immediately alerted to the attack and moved into his stance and tried to attack my clones. Before he could reach them, I threw a kunai I created from my biomass. My clones left us alone as Danzo stood there tried to find me.
"Who are you people! Show yourself!"
I chuckled in the dark and he turned to face me. I stepped out from the shadow as he narrowed his eyes. I reinforced my body with biomass, imbued myself with chakra, and I dashed at him hoping for action. While I too was shocked at the speed I went at him, I was disappointed in seeing he was only able to widen his eyes in surprise before my knife arm stabbed him in the heart. I relieved myself from his weight and he slumped to the ground looking up at me in fear. I changed my arm back to normal.
"Who are... you?"
I chuckled again, without answering I consumed him. With all the memories of people I consume I fear that the information overload will send me into a coma, I sent mental images to all my Roots clones to return to me. Immediately all the clones turned to biomass and started to converge on me.
The influx of contained chakra and biomass wrecked my body with pain as the biomass overload my body yet it continue streaming into my body. The huge chakra pool inside were widening as I felt my body about to burst yet the biomass I absorbed avoided it. Suddenly the pain stopped. The biomass had already converged.
I was stunned for a moment before an immense pain hit my body. Every single part of my body felt agony. My nerve felt like being electrocuted by thousands jolt of electricity, my muscle felt like it was grating between cells turning it to sand. My skins felt like being cut again and again with salts smeared on them. My innards were burning and melting. That, while my blood felt like they were freezing inside me.
I didn't know how long the pain ached my body, when it stopped I huffed at the torment. Then my mind felt like bursting out, information streaming to my head.

I clenched my teeth and my hand shook in rage of the atrocities done by the man I consumed.
"That fucking asshole!"
I raged on and on destroying the room, the mere thought of his action send my bones to rage. That man, had sinned countless of times, my act compared to his was like comparing sand to boulder.
He kidnapped children forces them to fight each other. Raped them and broke their mind. If that wasn't enough, he tortured them, days and nights, make them watch as he rape their sisters. He left them at vegetative state for those who actually too broken. If it was woman, then he made them as child factory. Not only that, he actually experimented on them, not just adults, but also babies. Even foetuses!
My clones actually barfed at the memory and killed them in the act of mercy. I left no room unchecked and consume everything. Luckily or unlucky, based on whose perception, none of the experiment were done again after Orochimaru's desertion.
I trashed the room again and again. Anger and madness coursed through my vein. Seeing the act as both victim and culprit left my mind fogged. I didn't know how long but by the time I noticed, it was already morning. I went to one of the room, and sat down. I reviewed my ability before setting out.
Since the Roots consist of many people from various clans, there was much ability that I obtained. Senju's wood release from a vial of his DNA, Uchiha's sharingan from the earlier root, Hyuga's byakugan from the dead Hyuga I consumed, Nara's shadow release, Yamanaka's mind walk, Inuzuka's senses, and all five elements. My chakra pool was way past the Hokage's chakra comparable only to the Bijuu's. I started to integrate them.
Finding out ways to improve my control over the element, I created a special Blacklight Clone and told him to train every single thing. Taijutsu and Kenjutsu Kata's as I didn't need to improve my muscle due to the fact that I can control my muscle development and body composition.
I told him to ignore Ninjutsu in favour of true elemental manipulation. Which means that I will be able to form elemental jutsu at a single glance, including wood release and shadow release. Chakra control was a must. Jutsu like Kawarimi and Shunshin must be trained to be able to use at a moment of notice similar to element manipulation. With perfect chakra control, Genjutsu can also be integrated into the training. I also told him to train how to use the doujutsu available.
I sent that clone away and created another. This was to scour the base for knowledge and information. To learn everything possible within the base. As he left, I sent a mental image to both my disguised clones within the ANBU to search for information in the ninja corp. Especially regarding sealing.
I create a Blacklight Clone to act as Shimura Danzo and his little ragtag army. For this, I told him to continue running the organization with different approach. The organization will act as fundraiser and spy network. No recruitment needed as my biomasses collected were already enough. And if I consume more people, meaning that I will be able to create more clones to work. It would also serve to control the civilian council which I no doubt will disturb my life when I adopt little Naruko.
Coming from a more technological advance world, I created a batch of clones to act as R&D for Roots to recreate several items that will be beneficial to me like video camera and also to supply me with network. Seals would also be done by them. Another batch of clones was created and placed in another room to act as mind walker to accommodate all the information streaming to my mind. Avoiding deep headache or worse, sending myself into comatose.
Gears were turning and running in my mind. I sent out an image to one of my ANBU clone, Nara Ikura to find out which orphanage Naruko was sent to and told him what he needed to do. I sat and started to change my body to a size of three years old.
I stood in a 3 years old child's body as I left the underground and sneak back to the town. I waited in an alley and sent an image to the ANBU clone. I waited for a while and he returned to the ANBU headquarter, having settled creating a new orphaned boy identity.
I placed the name as Ichigo with no last known name. My body were similar to that of an Uchiha so that in the future if I reveal my Sharingan I will be able to integrate into the Uchiha clan, and having them as allies. The identity was then sent to the orphanage that Naruko will be placed. I immediately head to the orphanage wearing a neutral face.
There were various kids orphaned from the attack. I immediately ignored them and look around. The caretaker saw me and took me to my room. I sat on the bed and waited for the trigger.
Well, that's all for chapter 1. If there's high demand, than I'll continue it. though I doubt there'll be any. (insert cry here). Later then.
