Living Twice

I'm going to be frank. When I put up my first short story with the Hanabi pairing (G.P.H.L.), I wasn't expecting a lot of views. Now, I put up an unusual pairing (Kin) [I like to read every once in a while] and everyone's just flocking to it. It's passed G.P.H.L. in popularity in just two chapters.

Wow.

Thanks for reading now let me move on.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. I own my ideas, some of which may seem based of something but it's still unique. If you do, however, find something like it, let me know so I can amend this disclaimer.

3.

The Sandaime Hokage's flickered to all three people in the clearing. Two of them were corpses while all three were blooded, particularly Mizuki. The corpses did not hold his attention for long, though.

Instead, it was centered on Naruto who was in some type of catatonic shock who still hadn't acknowledged his or the anbu's presence. The boy was just sitting there, as he had just witnessed a murder, which in fact he practically had.

He strode over to the boy while motioning to the two anbu to check Iruka for a pulse and to remove Mizuki. Reaching the boy, he did what medical and psychology books have told him to do.

He sat beside the boy in the grass at the foot of the tree. Let Naruto speak first. When it showed that he was capable of speech, then he would speak to him.

Hiruzen looked out in front of him, watching the two anbu look over Iruka before shaking their heads to him. The man sighed as he waved at them, signaling them to take the man to the morgue. They did and soon returned and checked Mizuki's carcass. At first they were fussing over how to remove him from his spot on the tree without making it worse.

That's when they realized that it couldn't get any worse for the man. With a grunt, one of them yanked out the kunai pinning up the man to the tree and shunshinned away with him as well. They returned in five minutes and picked up every weapon on the ground. In a matter of minutes, besides the crimson smears on the ground and the bloody Uzumaki, there was nothing unusual in the clearing.

It's been three hours. Sarutobi had long since dismissed the anbu and waited patiently beside Naruto. It was now midnight, the start of Saturday morning but he was a man of patience. Besides, if Naruto could stay still and watched his own hands for three hours and he as a kage couldn't, he no longer deserved the title.

"Ir…Ir… he killed Iruka-s-sensei."

Hiruzen looked to him, waiting expectantly. He knew what was coming next.

"A-and then I k-killed M-M-Mizuki…" He looked at his hands and as if he just noticed that they were bloody, he tried to wipe them on his clothes. When he realized that his clothes were also bloodied with Mizuki's life, he started to furiously wipe his hands on the grass but the blood was already dry.

"It's my fault." The Sandaime stated as he watched the boy's actions. "If only I had arrived sooner, this could have been prevented. I had some difficulty finding here because there is nothing outstanding to this location."

"I must really be a d-demon. I-" He started to stutter.

"Naruto-kun. Stop. You are not a demon. You merely hold the beast back at bay. You are it's prison, you are it's master, you-"

"Used it's power to kill a handicapped teacher."

"Mizuki was about to kill you. Were you going to let him kill you?"

"No! Of course not! If only I had my chakra at the time… and beaten him up or something. Or… if I had tried to find out-"

"Naruto. Perhaps you should come to my home and sleep instead. Perhaps it would benefit you more if you weren't alone right now." The hokage stood up and held out his hand to the boy.

Naruto watched him for a moment before grasping the man's hand. As soon as he did, they both disappeared in a body flicker, one that was a swirl of leaves.

Next Morning

Naruto's eyes snapped open suddenly, as was his habit everyday to awake at this time. He already registered where he was the second he saw the ceiling. He knew what was happening once more.

His memory kicked in about what happened the night before. His body slightly ached in soreness as he remembered stabbing a dead man. The man had no identity to him. He was just another person; didn't matter if he was good or bad. He knew all the speeches that would be given him, all the 'condolences' for Iruka. He might as well get breakfast and the sooner he got this day over with, the sooner he could get to training. Now that he had killed, his ninja career had taken off, he could train without repercussions for training in regimens beyond that of his class in the open.

He kicked off the sheets and leaned over the edge unto his feet. He immediately left the room and made his way to the kitchen to have breakfast. It would be his second time so he knew where to go, not getting lost or wandering into the wrong rooms along the way. Finding the kitchen, he plopped down in an empty seat in between the older man with brown hair and a goatee and a little boy who had was still changing teeth. He already knew their names but if they were going through introductions (again) he would just roll with it.

"Ohayou Naruto. How did you sleep?" The elder asked, putting down his booklet.

"Like the usual." The blond grunted. The man took that as a good sign that he was over his shock.

"Naruto, huh?" The little boy said. "Mornin' Naruto. Name's Konohamaru."

"Ohayou Konohamaru."

The man with the goatee got up and started preparing breakfast. "Did you stumble your way into our rooms on accident coming here Naruto?"

"No Asuma-san."

The man lifted an eyebrow. "How did'ya know my name?"

"You're well known in the village." Naruto lied smoothly.

"Oh? Well, good for me, huh? I'm popular." The Sarutobi chuckled as he quickly prepared some soba noodles and eggs and dished it out to the two boys, as well as some for himself, before seating himself again.

Naruto frowned a bit, staring at the soba. It was his least favorite noodle type and he has to go through it now…for the second time. He shrugged and started eating, hurrying to get it over with and out of the way. Soon finished, he placed his dish in the sink. He was going to have to be 'ignorant' for a few hours. Nothing he couldn't handle.

"So, Sarutobi-san?"

"Hmm?" Asuma looked up from his meal.

"Can I have my clothes? I can't just go out in underclothes that I slept in."

"That's going to be a problem. We disposed of your bloody jumpsuit."

"So what am I going to wear then?" He snorted.

"I'm sure I can find something around here you can try on. At least until we get you to the nearest ninja clothing store. Besides, if you have any more orange jumpsuits at home like the one you were wearing, get rid of them too."

"Oh yeah, I will. I definitely will."

Two Hours later

Naruto and Asuma completed their journey to the ninja service establishment, one of them gratefully. The younger of the pair wore a jacket and pants two sizes too big and the cuffs he had put into them were beginning to come undone. As if the clothing wasn't already cumbersome and awkward enough to begin with.

They pushed the door in and entered, allowing the smell of brand new clothing and lubricating oil to hit their nostrils. The store was relatively empty of other patrons so they just made their way to the front desk and tapped the bell waiting on it.

"Hello?!" Asuma called. "I'd like some service!"

"Coming!" A girl's voice sounded from the back. Almost immediately, A twin-bun haired girl entered through a door behind the counter came up to the two males. "Welcome to Higurashi's Shinobi Supplies!" She welcomed.

"Hey Tenten." The Sarutobi greeted. "I came down to get Naruto here some things to prepare himself to be a ninja." He gestured to the boy by patting him on the head. "And get him some new clothes."

The girl smiled at the blond. "Naruto… is it? I heard of you before."

"Good things, I hope?" He lifted an eyebrow.

"Well… they said you were so quiet most people didn't know what you sounded like." The Higurashi smirked. "I guess I should count myself lucky."

"Let's begin shopping, shall we?" Asuma suggested to the children.

One half hour later, Naruto was dressed in a dark blue close fitting shirt with a v-neck and long sleeves that were slack around the elbows. Black ankle length pants went far in completing the look and gray sandals that rounded it all off nicely. (1)

He had a small backpack on his back that he placed his mesh armor inside to carry home, as well as a set of fifty shuriken, thirty kunai, and eighty yards of ninja wire on a spool, ten C ranked paper bombs and five B ranked ones. He had everything sorted out in different pockets in said backpack and with the even distribution, the bag felt right at home on his back.

"Now for a weapon!" Tenten slightly squealed in her excitement but stopped when she saw the patrons staring at her. "What? I just…like weapons, okay? Sheesh." She waved her hand dismissively before she turned to Naruto.

"What kind of weapon would you like to use?" She took his hand and stretched it while feeling his biceps. "Good definition. A strength type o' guy?"

"Umm." He retracted his arm and started to think about how he stabbed Mizuki full of holes. "Something…blunt?"

"Tonfas? Iron Knuckles? Hammers? Staffs?"

"Um… hmm. Let me see your staffs."

She led him to the back rooms to look over their merchandise of staffs which was quite impressive. She showed him staff after staff but nothing really appealed to him. His mind started to wander back to when the Hokage asked if he would have let Mizuki kill him. He didn't want to kill anyone but sooner or later he would need to. It was his profession. Besides, he knew what he wanted.

He decided to speak up. "Is there anything that's both blunt and sharp at the same time? Anything?"

She stopped what she was doing and looked up to her forehead in thought. "Well, I think I have a tonfa with a blade on one side-"

"No! No. Err, something else."

"To be honest, we got something experimental from the Land of Iron two years ago. No one wanted it."

"Well? What is it, Tenten?" Asuma asked.

"It's like some kind of folding blade. Let me ask tou-san if he knows where it is." She ran back to a door that apparently lead into her living quarters while the males waited on her return. A few minutes later, she returned with a relatively small box in her palm before she removed the cover. She took it out and held it in her hand. It was like an oversized rectangle-shaped handle with slight palm grips on either side. It was about six inches long.

That was it.

Asuma gave a disbelieving air. "That's it? Where's the rest of it?"

Tenten firmly gripped it before she swung it down rapidly. The 'rest' of the weapon extended out by two feet, thick at the bottom and small at the top. On one side, it was rounded off and blunt but the other side was sharp to a decent degree. It was like a long one-edged sword with a really blunt opposite side. (Stretch your index finger straight and keep it like that while touching the top flat of your thumb against the top flat of the index. The shape it creates shows the sharp part versus the blunt end, in actual size.) (2)

"That's…new?" The man with the goatee remarked, observing the development.

"I like it!" Naruto exclaimed. It would suit his intents and purposes perfectly. "How much?"

"I asked tou-san about it and he said he had clean forgotten about it. He says you can have it for half price. That's still eight thousand ryo."

Asuma's cigarette fell out of his mouth when his jaw dropped. "That thing was sixteen thousand ryo?!"

"Yeah!" Tenten smiled cheerfully. "It's made with some expensive alloy to guarantee durability. Besides, chakra can be infused into it. That's always a good thing. Right?"

"Uhh… I don't have that much on me…" Asuma scratched the back of his head while he pick up his cigarette off the ground. "I'll be back in around five minutes." He quickly shunshinned away in a puff of smoke, leaving the children to stand around awkwardly in his absence.

"So… uh, used anything like this before?" The blond asked.

"No. never. If you're going to learn, you'll probably need a sword user and a baton user or something." She shrugged.

Four minutes later when the man came back, he patted his back pocket. "Alright. I think I've got enough to cover the whole sum."

They walked back to the front desk where the brown eyed girl retrieved a calculator and the two patrons crossed back to the correct side of the counter. As soon as they were settled, Tenten added up the prices.

"Okay, let's see. Kunai… shuriken… bombs…" She punched the buttons in the buttons on the calculator while she announced the items. "…Wire…and… uh… that half blade thing." She pressed the equal symbol and the price was totaled. "That's twenty three thousand, eight hundred and ten ryo."

"Good thing it's not my money." Asuma counted out the money exactly when Naruto stopped him by holding his hand out in front of him.

"What is it, Naruto?"

"Just give her the full twenty four thousand. Like a tip."

"A tip?" The man smirked. "Do you like this Tenten, Naruto?"

The boy was not about to be embarrassed (the second time.) "Yeah. She's nice."

Asuma now realizing his tease had no effect merely grumbled to himself before handing over the money to the blushing girl. "Whatever."

Naruto took up the tactical weapon from off the counter. "Arigato, Tenten. See you around."

"Uh… ja ne." She turned around stiffly before disappearing into the back room again, muttering something about blonds.

Naruto merely sighed. "Well, that's that. I'm just gonna go home to drop the things off and then go visit jiji." He was about to leave the shop when Asuma grabbed his shoulder.

"Let me provide you are less time consuming alternative." Both people left in a large puff of smoke and appeared outside Naruto's apartment building. Naruto thanked the man before running inside the building with his pack. A short minute later he returned outside and Asuma promptly body flickered them to the Hokage's tower.

With the Hokage

The aged Sandaime sighed as he stroked his forehead in, trying to chase away the growing headache. And Naruto was the source of it all.

'Naruto had learned the Shadow clone technique in a mere hour. The boy is practically a prodigy. And he took down a chunin, albeit violently. Even one of the Hyuuga anbu told me that he used the Kyuubi's chakra in the final moments. But that's not what's important. Naruto described to me last night that he was fighting with pure taijutsu and bukijutsu. When he used a substitution that drained the remnants of his chakra, he refused to tell me what had caused him to be at near zero in the first place. In any case, I am pleased to know that he will be a ninja, and I am happy to help in anyway I can, be it emotional support or even financially. Although I wonder why my son wanted more mon-'

A puff of smoke came into being in the room, signaling someone's entry. He looked up, knowing that it was Asuma when he sensed for the person's chakra signature. The smoke cleared to reveal said person.

"Just dropping Naruto off. He said he wanted to see you."

"Ohayou again, Asuma. You can leave. If anything, Naruto can explain some things."

"Whatever." The Sarutobi rolled his eyes before leaving again in smoke.

"So, Naruto," the hokage turned to the thirteen year old. "How are you feeling now?"

"I feel… better. I'm not quite at a full 100% but I'm better."

The man sighed in relief, his headache starting to disappear already. "That's good to hear. I provided some money for you to get some supplies-"

"About that jiji. Am I a ninja now?"

Hiruzen chuckled. Naruto was somewhat more friendly with him. Perhaps it was because of the bonding they had done recently. "Hai, Naruto-kun. In fact, here is your headband." He reached inside his desk and fished out a headband with a blue cloth and tossed it to him deftly. "Congratulations. Your one step closer to being Hokage."

Naruto caught the headband and looked at the leaf insignia. "Hokage, huh?" He placed it on his forehead and tied it behind his head. "Perhaps."

"If not a Hokage, then what?" The man used to hear the boy proclaim about being kage up until three years ago. Did he have a new dream?

"… A person who always makes the right decision, based on knowledge that has been passed from before." He had rehearsed his answer.

"Is that so? Making decisions based on others past experiences?"

"No. Decisions based on mine."

Sarutobi was befuddled. The boy was only thirteen years old. How much experience did he really have to make wise and informed decisions?

"Regardless, jiji, I want to say thank you for paying for my supplies. Especially for the last weapon."

"What was it?"

Naruto described it to him and how it worked in a nutshell. "…And one side's sharp and the other is blunt."

"I see. Will you name it?"

"Hai. I'll think of something soon enough. Everything cam to twenty-four thousand ryo, by the way."

His jaw dropped a little. "Why is it so expensive."

"It would have been more expensive if I wasn't given a fifty percent discount. That's what they told me anyway. Besides, I'll pay it back when I get a high ranking mission pay, huh?"

Hiruzen chuckled twice. "No need. My own account is quite sizeable after all these years of saving. I don't even really make purchases that often anymore."

"Is that so? Well, my home needs a little renovating then, if you don't mind."

"Perhaps in a fortnight. Get some planning done and such."

Naruto bowed a little, head and shoulders. "Arigatou, gramps." He broke out in a grin, one that was reciprocated by the hokage.

Monday morning

He sat down in his usual seat, bored as usual. Everyone jostled around excitedly, sporting their headbands in their respective places. Most were conversing loudly about how they were going to be the best, yelling who was better than who and so on.

The door opened slowly and all eyes turned to see Sasuke Uchiha wearing his usual stoicism on the outside. The last Uchiha saw fan girls swarming his usual seat, waiting on him to sit in anticipation. He groaned internally before sitting beside Naruto. When all saw his action, it was then they took notice of Naruto's presence.

Naruto started to count in his mind. '3…2…1… cue Inuzuka.'

"Naruto?! What the hell are you doing here?! You failed the test Friday, idiot! This is just for people who are real ninja!"

Naruto had rehearsed his answer. He grinned, giving off a feral vibe."I am a real ninja. But if you want to know how I passed, wait three minutes."

"What the fuck does that mean?!" Kiba yelled the question.

"Kiba, be patient. We shall see what he means when three minutes have flown." Shino said quietly, placating the boy. Everyone shrugged and decided to wit as well. Something had always been strange about Naruto. Perhaps today they could get some answers.

Sasuke closed his eyes. "So you passed, huh."

"Yeah. Your advice was useful but it wasn't what I used."

"Is that so? What did you do?" The coal eyed youth asked.

"Two and a half minutes."

"Hn."

Exactly two and a half minutes later, a puff of smoke erupted behind the teacher's desk at the front of the class. When it cleared, it revealed the taijutsu testing anbu from Friday.

"It is now 9 a.m. Get to your seats." He said in monotone.

Everyone who were standing or seated inappropriately quickly got to their correct seats, thoroughly intimidated. When they were all settled, the anbu began to speak again.

"I will speak only once. I will not repeat myself pertaining to any matter that is controversial. If anything is unclear, seek clarity elsewhere."

Everyone nodded in response.

"I have been commissioned by the Hokage and one Naruto Uzumaki to bring some issues to light. It was to be done in the hopes that all of you would rid yourselves of complacency and childish ways for the life of the Shinobi is riddled with death, lies and…betrayal. Only a few details were to be spared."

He threw a kunai blurring quick that took root in Shikamaru's desk, right next to his head. The boy was jolted awake by the sudden action.

"As in that case, he could have been killed in his slumber." The anbu continued.

Suddenly, everyone else who had started to zone out were back at full attention.

"On Friday, Mizuki, your chunin teacher deceived Naruto Uzumaki to steal the Scroll of Forbidden Techniques for him to pilfer. Before the scroll could change hands, Iruka Umino found Naruto trying to learn a technique from said scroll. Iruka scolded him for stealing it, just before Mizuki arrived to claim the scroll from the pair. When Mizuki threw a kunai that mortally injured Iruka, that was when they realized that Mizuki was betraying the village. While Iruka had to sit out the fight, Mizuki and Naruto fought it out with little more than pure Taijutsu. When Mizuki was finally gaining the upper hand, Iruka tried to stop Mizuki from killing Naruto by holding unto him."

Everyone leaned forward, eyes getting bigger and bigger as the anbu told the tale.

"Mizuki finished off Iruka by stabbing him in his back, right into his heart. When Naruto saw Iruka killed, he killed Mizuki by stabbing him…"

"…Over fifty…" Naruto said.

"Over fifty times in his upper torso, before stabbing Mizuki through his eye and staking him to the tree in his rage."

Everyone gave the blond a horrified look before they tried to inch away from him, sans Sasuke.

"This is why none of your teachers are present. Iruka is now buried and Mizuki is now ashes. The reason for this recount is to make it clear that you understand what kind of life you're getting into. Being a ninja is not fun and games. To be completely straightforward, we kill for a living. All who think this is too much for them to handle, please leave now."

Everyone looked to each other, a bit unsure. Slowly, Roana got out of his seat and strode out of the class. With his exodus, more and more of the students trickled out until only eighteen students remained.

"If that is all, I shall now read the teams with their respective squad numbers along with jounin senseis. There will be some improvisation for teams broken with loss of some team members."

He quickly announced teams from memory recall to the silent class. "Next is team seven. Uchiha, Uzumaki and Haruno. Team eight is Hyuuga, Aburame and Inuzuka. Team nine is in circulation. Team ten is Yamanaka, Nara and Akimichi. Your senseis will come to fetch you at times of their own choosing in this room."

He looked over the class through his mask before he nodded. "Good day." He left in a puff of smoke.

Most of the students started to breathe more easily in the anbu's leave. They all looked to Naruto who still retained a bored look.

"Now you know why, Inuzuka. Find anything wrong? Something unclear?"

"I… don't believe it. Besides, you still can't even create a decent clone! You think you're hot stuff?! You're still shit!"

Most of the girls were hesitant and no one agree with Kiba, Sakura mostly. She started to wonder if he would kill her, seeing that she always tried to hit him. He would have plenty of chances, now that they were on the same team. She wasn't even feeling celebratory knowing that she would be on Sasuke's team.

Naruto formed the cross ram handseal and formed a clone out in the walkway beside Kiba. "You were saying?"

"Feh! It's just one!"

Naruto nodded to the clone, who nodded back in response. The clone decked Kiba in the face right below his eye, making the boy fall back unto his butt.

"Stay down." The clone said before it reached its hand to his head and snapped his own neck, dispersing in smoke.

Kiba was too frightened to even move from his spot on the floor. Hinata from where she was sitting was saddened by Naruto's actions, starting to think he was just a killer. Shino merely raised an eyebrow while Sasuke was… intrigued.

"That's new."

"Yes it is, Sasuke. Yes it is."

Three hours later

The door slid open to reveal a jounin with a face-neck mask and spiky silver hair that styled upwards and to the side. He also wore his hitai ate over his left eye, covering up his face by a fair 75%. His right eye looked over the remaining three students who were waiting for him. Naruto was spinning a kunai on his fingertips to improve his chakra control, Sasuke was sitting beside him with his hands balled under his chin and Sakura sat behind Sasuke, reading.

"Hmm. Looks like a quiet bunch. Team 7, meet me on the roof." He promptly disappeared in a puff of smoke.

The students heaved themselves up and filed out to the roof, Sasuke in the lead. When they arrived there, they saw their supposed sensei waiting on them with his hands in his pockets.

"Kon-nichi wa, Kakashi-sensei." Naruto called to him when he was hailing distance.

"How do you know my name?" The man replied the question.

The genin finished closing the distance and sat on the steps in front of the jounin. "You're very well known." He lied.

Kakashi narrowed his visible eye, detecting the lie. 'Why would he lie? How does he really know?' "That's fine." He stated, not betraying his thoughts.

"As you all just heard, my name is Kakashi Hatake. We will have some introductions. Who's first?"

"Why don't (Lets just skip this 'Sakura's embarrassing question' and Kakashi's lack of info, shall we?)

"…and dreams and aspirations... I don't want to tell you. Now it's your turn pinky."

"Hmph. My name is Sakura Haruno. I like-" She looked over at Sasuke and blushed heavily. "I dislike…" She glanced at Naruto and hesitated. "Ino-pig. My hobbies are…" She looked at Sasuke with her peripherals. "Making scrapbooks and reading. And my dream is-" She now squealed a little.

"O…k… I'm almost sorry I asked. Brooder, you're up."

"Hn. My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I like to train. I dislike fan girls. My hobbies and likes are the same. My dream-no…ambition is to kill Itachi."

"A little dark." Kakashi sighed. Blondie, you're next."

"My name is Uzumaki. And you would be wise to remember, Hatake." He said evenly.

His visible eye narrowed before he relented. "Fine. You call me by name and title, I'll call you yours. Naruto, introduce yourself please."

"Arigatou. My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I like to be well informed and surrogate family members like Ayame-nee and Hokage-jiji. I dislike those who are biased towards me. My hobbies include making changes to disastrous events, training and other things. My dream is to be wise and always make the best decisions." He said with a small smile.

"It's impossible to always make the right decision." Hatake remarked with a small sigh. 'My time with Obito and Rin is proof of that.'

Naruto smirked. "It is. All you need is a little foresight. Now, what's next, Kakashi-sensei?"

Kakashi coughed into his hand to clear his throat. "The test you did Friday was merely a screening process to see who would and could be genin material. You still have another."

"Say what?" Sakura nearly yelled.

"Uh huh. You have to pass the respective jounin's test. Each of us jounin have our own exam and mine is a bell test."

"Elaborate please." Naruto said.

"I'll tell you tomorrow. And don't eat any breakfast tomorrow or you'll puke."

"Meh." "Hn." "What?!"

Kakashi eye smiled. " Test starts at seven a.m. Ja ne!" He disappeared in a puff of smoke.

They all stood up and straightened themselves with a small stretch. "Well, that's that." Naruto said. "Lets all go home and get some sleep. Rest ourselves."

"Who died and made you team leader?" Sakura asked.

"Who died?" Naruto asked back the question.

"Uh… never mind." She shook her head quickly. Sasuke merely grunted before he ran and jumped off the roof at the third storey and landed nimbly, going home. Naruto did the same by swallow diving off the roof at the adjacent corner, flipped in midair and landed on his feet before performing a perfect pk roll, sprinting home.

Sakura sighed. "I wish I could do that." She took the 'normal' way down the stairs and made her way home as well.

At home, Naruto finally gathered his things together and changed into something casual. He then placed his last two identical (kerosene laced) jumpsuits in a trashcan outside before dramatically striking a match and dropping it in it. The contents inside the bin burst into flames with a flare.

"After the flames die, ashes will be all that remains…" He said quietly.

He walked back into his house and pressed his new outfit before fashioning a small holster inside his weapons pouch for his new tactical weapon. He had a simple dinner before going to bed at six, just as usual.

That's chapter three. I intended to leave the test 'till next chapter anyway so no frowning! Now for those numbers.

1- This is practically the same outfit from my other story 'Breaking Limits'. Keeps things simple, flow easy and the fact that I love how the outfit comes together in my mind.

2- It's just a tactical baton that is a bit flat. One side's sharp like a cleaver and the other side is perfectly blunt. I'm not basing it on Zabuza's Decapitating Carving Knife, it's just that I always see Naruto using blunts over sharps given his personality, but he would need a blade for this story. Everything evened out. Besides, when I used to play Watch Dogs, I liked to see some of the takedowns Pearce did. (And hacking a sign that said 'Tactical baton to the knee.' That just guaranteed my love for the weapon.)

Thanks for reading folks and don't forget to review. Don't forget. Do it now.

Sayonara.
