"So, what do you think of him?" Shikaku asked his son.
"I don't think he's a spy, if that's what you're asking."
"No, it wasn't."
"...Troublesome. Great intelligence. Able to move the pieces without touching them and/or use of chakra strings. Assumption, some form of bloodline. Shows emotions but most likely sociopathic, or has trouble relating to others. Could be from being a genius or mental issues. All things considered. Dangerous." Shikamaru replied.
"Keep an eye on him."
Shikamaru gave a nod in response, then lazily made his way up to his room.
"Troublesome. As if I can manipulate a manipulator."
On the way home, I could just feel the question forming in Naruto's mind.
"What is it, Naruto?"
"What was the point of that? I know you, Yuuki, and you don't approach unless you see something you want."
"Exactly."
"Exactly?"
I gave a small laugh. "I'm building a collection. You should know this by now, Naruto, I'm selfish by design. I see something I want, I take it."
"Is that what you did with me?"
"Of course." He blushed in response.
"I can't tell if you're evil, or just crazy." He said while scratching his neck. Oh, how I've corrupted the innocent main character.
"So, do you want to put on a stupid act tomorrow also? That blush creeped me out." I just smiled in return. Now, he is still for the most part an exuberant person, but he doesn't shy away from misleading others so much anymore. It took a while to get to this point, with him asking 'why' to every demand, but once I explained once, he accepted it.
"Naw, just enjoy your time in school. Maybe make some friends."
"I'd rather just hang out with you." I let out a giggle in reply.
"Maybe we should go see the Hokage tomorrow."
"Really?! Woo! Free ramen!"
The next day passed pretty quietly. Shika took his place next to us, but didn't make an attempt to talk to us. Just laid his head down all through class. Classes were let out without much fuss and Naruto and I made our way to the Hokage Tower. Took about an hour, but he eventually came out and had ramen with us. Once, it started getting dark, I left Naruto at the orphanage and made my way to my next plan.
The Uchiha Compound.
It took quite a bit of information collection to pinpoint when this event would happen, but there's an equation I need to take care of. The night was silent while I stalked my way through the streets. Not a soul in sight, but once I closed in on my destination, I could feel the air shift. I listened intently for any noise, than made my way in. Hiding in the shadows. Now the anime painted it like it was only one person's doing, but if you think logically, that would be close to impossible. I heard a muffled scream from the house on my right, and snuck my way in. When I came in, I saw the tragic sight of a mother stabbed through her back defending a child. A man with, what I assume, a root mask hovered over them. How about I leave a little evidence? I took control of some blood and moved it to just behind the man. When I saw he didn't detect it, I had it penetrate his throat, right where I knew the artery was. The man fell back clutching his throat. When I saw his hand generate green light, I sent another spike of blood to his brain. The child crouched down in shock, shook it away and made her way to her mother. Balling and crying. I covered my face with my hood and made my way over to her.
"Shhh, child. If you aren't quiet, they'll come to finish the job." Fear showed on her face. "I need you to hide in the floorboards, ok?" I removed a rug and pried open a board. "Come on, I need you to stay very quiet. Can you do that?"
She nodded in response and made her way under the house. "Don't come out until you see sunlight." I closed up the board. I could hear some sniffling, but otherwise, she was doing an admirable job. Now, what to do with this body? I took it by the feet and made my way with it out of the compound. Small miracle I wasn't discovered, but I wasn't far from the entrance. You would think they'd start with the houses near the village, but I suppose they had a different entry point. Once, I had hid the body. I snuck back into the compound and made my way through each house. I was able to save two more children, by leaving their parents to die. To make sure they didn't make a fuss, I had to knock them out, but at least they won't have to watch their parents die in front of them. After making sure the children were secure and hidden, I waited for the commotion to die down. Confirming the number of ROOT agents that made their way out, along with Itachi. 34. After I was sure they all left, I waited for an additional hour and made my way to the main house. The compound was like a ghost town. It seemed to be abandoned, but if you went inside one of the houses, you'd know what happened instantly. Inside the main house, laid bodies of maids and other Uchiha family members, which I can only assume came to defend their head. The living room had the head and his wife, with Sasuke a few feet away. He was covered in cold sweat and seemed to be suppressing a scream.
"I'm sorry, child, but you have no place in this story." I said while taking out a kunai. I plunged it into his heart. He gasped in shock and opened his eyes for a split second. Looking at me with eyes of surprise and confusion. Then he went limp. I stared at those eyes for a minute too long. Feeling the weight of what I've just done. Almost as soon as the feeling came, it passed. I stretched my blood out and had them go into Sasuke's eye sockets, pulling out his eyes and storing them inside my body. I haven't decided what to do with them yet. On the way out, I made sure the ROOT agent I collected was strapped up by his feet outside the Uchiha compound, then slowing slipped my way back into the orphanage.
That felt… too easy. I slid into my bed and thought everything back over. My heart raced with thoughts of possibly being seen, until I reviewed the night over in my head. I wasn't. No one saw me. I'm going to get away with this. I sighed, and let sleep overtake me.
