A month passed since I began school and met with Jane(Her real name his Uzumaki Shigure), on the letter left by her parents she told me that in order to safe her they add to send her away through a secret fuin of the clan in order to survive the clan purge, the instructions to replicate it were inside the storage seal on her arm but until she atleast gained the rank of fuinjutsu master, she won't have acess to it.
This revelation led me to believe that Jane his a survivor from the 2º shinobi world war, when Kumo, Iwa and Kiri attacked Uzuoshigakure in fear of the Uzumaki's power.
"Again!" Jane yells while running up a nearby tree while I walk slowly up and down another, were currently grinning the tree climbing skill, tedious and repetitive but necessary, Jane only started last week but she as to practice a lot more and she as to hide it, same goes for me but I can simply create a instant dungeon with a 3:1 time ratio, " Crack, shit ! ", bellows Jane as the tree bark break's and she's tossed back but managing to sommersault and land on her feet.
"Your getting better thought, remenber the first time you tried?" I ask while returning to the ground and taking a seat, Jane gives me the stink eye as I mentioned her spetacular failure, looking at the game clock, "35 minutes and 50 seconds, still not there," I mutter, Jane raises her eyebrow,"What do you mean I can't barelly go 7 feet up!" she says taking a seat next to me.
Looking at her with a huff, "A true master can fight on a vertical surface for atleast an hour, I only last a little over half that time and I'm only walking, still have a long way to go," I answer remembering the knowledge from Narutoverse.
Jane on the other hand looks mortified, "A wholle hour fighting, damm that his serious bull right there, I wanna learn a few cool Jutsu and go to the zombie dungeon Dattebane!" she moans looking dejected.
I laught lightly at her misery, truth be told I also want to go for a quick spin, but we have neither weapons nor armor, this means that we need atleast a way to escape when we get swarmed, I didn't want to go there at least until I was 12 years old, but Jane convinced me otherwise with the condition of mastering tree climbing and learning atleast one offensive jutsu.
And so here we are training in order to have some fun as Jane put it," You promised to master this, so we are mastering it, meditate in order to restore chakra faster," I point out crossing my legs and clossing my eyes.
Meditate level up
I smile lightly at the pop up before clossing my eyes.
Jane's P.O.V.
I sigh while looking at Max, he his a very strange kid, then again the same could be said about me, not that i care about what other people think, "Still if people were to find out about him he would be put into a asylum or used as a lab rat for some nefarious deed, not like i would let that happen!" I say to myself, after revealing to me the truth about who I am, I would fight a Reaper with notting but my bare hands if that his what it took to repay this debt, "But in the end he just asked me to be his friend! " I mussed with a smile in my face.
Moulding a little chakra I unseal my parents letter for it's poket dimension and start reading it for what it should be the hundred time.
Dear Shigure
If you are reading this then it means that my hopes came to be and you have arrived in a land or world that knows of chakra,
I wished to have been the one to teach you how to wield it, but fate his a cruel mistress and I found myself forced to
relay my teachings through this message and the scrolls acompaning it.
As I write this our enemies bang at our door to take our lives and our knowledge, for it his not only fear that drives them but greed as well, they may take our lives but notting else.
Within the seal lies the knowledge of our branch of the clan and the Fuinjutsu that brought you to were you are incase you ever want to return to your birthplace
We did not wish for them to take you as well so using a special time space fuinjutsu we plan to to send as many children as possible to a new land or even a new world, we fear that many won't survive, but know this Sighure that we did what we did because we loved you and did not wish for you to end dead or a slave to our enemies.
With Love Uzumaki Raiza(Father) and Uzumaki Nazumi(Mother)
The first time you add read the letter you add cried for your parents that you never knew nor would ever meet but once they dried a fire lit up in your soul as knowing that others likelly came along to this world, "I will find them and restore my clan in this world! " you declared.
Placing the letter back on the seal, you returned to your meditation as Max thaught you, it took time to even get the basis down, and add it not been for Max's bullshit power you problably would still sttrugling with it.
Other skills like Caligraphy add come on instinct since you literally add it in your blood, the concept was also very cool, shuriken & Kunaijutsu required a little effort but in the end you also got it down, one of the scrolls left by your parents was of the clan's taijutsr basic's on the Uzuken style and you loved it, you wanted to learn Kenjutsu as well but...
You can't learn this skill
Requires STR: 20, VIT: 20, DEX: 20 to learn Kenjutsu
...and just like that I add to put that on hold, a real letdown that one still no point in rushing things.
Looking arround the backyard of Max's house( He invited me over ) I see the swiming pool and grimace, we would be doing water walking once we add some experience as Zombie hunters and you were not looking forward to it, reason?, too fucking cold this time of year.
Another thing that caught your attention was a small tree Max was growing, he did not told you why he was doing it, just that it was important for your training, you smiled lightly at that, "Add that not happened I would have been trained like this as well, with members of the clan, but no point in dwelling in what if's!" you thought absentmindedly returning to your meditation, what a really boring task.

Life add fallen into a routine, not that it was bad mind you, but going day after day doing the same things got boring, so it his a good thing that this time arround I have friends beside online penpals.
"So what do you think?, pretty cool right!" said Nick exited about some new game that just came out," Nah, I'm more of a RPG guy, besides not all parents are like yours, I can't play those violent games!" retorted Bruce with a frown.
"Boys!" I heard Ana sign while Jane just grins at her, Nick Phoenix and Bruce Johnson were gaming adicts and two friends that me and Jane helped out a while ago, how that happened still makes me laught and cringe at the same time.
Flashback:
Cold days were ahead I thought to myself as I waited for my Mom to pick me up, Jane and Ana were sitting besides me having girl talk wich i turned off, no point in learning what nefarious things 7 year old girl's thaught.
Jane add made an impression of mom the first time they met, feathers of a feather flock together I guess, thought the smile that she gave me left little to the imagination.
"So do you think that we can get together this weekend, it would be great if you could join us Jane?!" Asked Ana with an excited smile despite the cold, "Problably yes, the orphanage's curfew his the same all year, most kids don't leave because of what can happen to them but I'm no pushover! " answered Jane with a nod.
Ana and Jane adn't exactly started on the right foot, something about the way Jane dressed up as a boy and whore orange since a acording to Ana it was not proper(Who cares about that in this day and age!?), Jane snaped at her that she would never dress as a hussy, things would have soured in between the two add I not intervened telling Ana that each person add the right to dress as they liked while telling Jane what hussy really meant( She didn't knew).
Since then the two add gradually warmed up to each other, Jane add at one time even dressed a skirt, while Ana stoped bickering over such things as proper getup.
"My house then?" I ask the two but recieved no answer as a scream pierces the air,"GHAAAAAAAA!" Jane and I look at each other then at the alley were the scream came from and broke into a dash with Ana trying to keep up, as we rounded the corner we saw a older boy with a baseball bat,"See what happens when you say no, now fork up the money or you end up as your friend here!" he said as he steped on a boy arround your age while pointing the bat at another.
Bruce Johnson Level 2
Nick Phoenix Level 2
Comom Thug Level 10
Quest alert: Beat the Thug

You frowned at the sight, looking at Jane she just gave a light nod and I pressed yes,"Screw you, your just gonna beat me as well and take it anyway!", screeched the boy with a attempt at a glare, "Eh cute!" he scoffed and raised his bat up in the air.
In an instant you sprinted and jumped to the thug delivering a kick to his back that would make Maito Gai proud, "Dinamic Entry motherfracker!" I shouted in my head while sending the thug skiding his bat flew in a arc and was caught by a pissed of Jane Shepard, the thug got up with a snarl like a wild animal and looked arround for his assailant.
He finally saw me and Jane and charged like a bull, bad call, "Here you dropped this!" said Jane with a almoust nonchalant tone and threw the baseball bat back to his owner, thing his it flew in a straight line directly at his groin,"CRUUUNCH!" the sound alone made me reach protectly at my own junk while the other boys in the alley whent pale at the display.
I saw the hp bar reach near zero at the critical hit then a blue box appeared.
Status: Inconscious due to heavy damage
The thug stoped in his track's just fell backwards with a blank stare, a look over him told me that he add passed out to spare himself the pain,"Was that really necessary, I mean shit?" I asked Jane, she looked at me confussed,"What do you mean, did that hurt that much?" she asked back(cue: collective sweatdrops), instead of answering I piked the thug's tablet and called in an ambulance.

Flashback end:
And that was how we met Nick and Bruce, they were somewhat fearfull of Jane at first but ended warming up to her, "So Max what kind of games you prefer?" asked Nick still excited about this new upcoming game, " Me, well I prefer FPS but I also play RTS on the side, if you happen to visit I'll show you something cool !", I answered.
"Something cool huh, hell why not this weekend, I'll have to ask my parents thought!" said Nick thoughtfull, "The cool thing his what you told me about?", asked Jane somewhat curious, she knew about my obcession about games as well Reapers or no that was one part of me that would never change, "Yeap, managed to finish last night, just need to test run it!" I answer with a grin she nods with a smile of her own.
"BIP BIP", sounded a familiar horn, looking arround I saw Mom waving at me,"Well see ya next weekend then, c'mon Jame!" I say while piking up my bagpack.

March 8 2107
It add been a long time but finally I was going inside the dungeon and Jane was coming with me, we add come a long way, the both of us mastered the basic forms of our respective martial arts but again we hit a wall with age restrictioning what we could learn on the physical area, in terms of Ninjutsu my project worked and I managed to produce a few chakra papers not very good looking but got the job done since I now know that I have a main wind affinity with fire as my secondary, Jane has lightning main with a sencondary water.
Once we finally mastered the tree climbing exercise we learned one jutsu for each of the elements that we have affinity with, I add to write a pair of scrolls for Jane since unlike me she can't just learn the jutsu simply by acesseing them in a mental Archive.
"So besides slow zombies his there anything we should be wary?" asked Jane as she warmed up any stiff joints,"Not sure if the zombies are slow at all, but we shouldn't kill too many of them or risk calling the boss, we came a long way but no point in pushing our luck right now!" I explain while making push ups," Ok ready?" Jane nods exitedly, " I.D. Create Zombies 5 to 1 !", I yell while thrusting my arm in the air, immediatly the scenary arround us turns from a quiet neighborhood to Sanctuary(Fallout 4) post-nuclear war.
" This his quiet the change !" blurts Jane as she looks's arround, I have to agree, the grass his dried, the houses are delapidated or fell to the ground, anything metal his completly rusted over and unusable, the place was deserted, or so we though,"Uaaah!" came a moan from inside one of the houses and a zombie walked out, "Holy shit on a stick!", Jane muttered as she looked at the mass of moving flesh mocking the human appearance.
Putrid blood covered his once white shirt as it dripped from his open maw, eyes completly blank and unaware of anything and clearly rotten flesh by the green like color of the skin the smell that would make a lot of people puke and the 'splosh' sound it made with every step, all in all a classic zombie from a B rated horror movie.

Description: A zombie raised from the grave by a foul Necromancer it attack's anyone and anything that comes within his short range in order to eat it's brain, though instinctual awareness only it posseses high strenght.
And that was what a Observe told me about the rotten bastard,"Inventory" I muttered so not to atract it's attention and pulled out The 3 B's, the weapon that I got from the Thug was a steel baseball bat, and handed it to Jane with a shudder of how the thing came into your possesion, she was surprised and asked as she took a few swings at it,"Why are you giving it to me, you could just use it yourself?" she asked.
In response I shrugged and said," I prefer a more ranged aproach, I know that won't be always the case but for now I'll stick with with it", I answer while reading myself to start shooting Katon jutsu,"Fine by me i'll take the front while you have my back!" she said with a smirk an rushed the zombie.
The creature noticed the rush and turned to take a bite at his small attacker but the only thing it got was,"HOME RUN!" shouted Jane as The 3 B's riped the zombie's head of by pure blunt force and send it flying over a nearby house, thinking that the animated corpse was dead Jane turned arround and walked away looking for another, "Katon: Hidama!" next thing she noticed was a fireball coming from Max direction and sthraight at the still standing zombie, the thing didn't scream since it no longer add a head to scream as it contorted and finally died for good.
Jane stood looking at the burning remains as it dispersed leaving loot behind, you gave a sigh of relieve, when you saw that despite having it's head blown away it still moved being only temporaraly stuned from losing it,"That was close these frackers are like the Warhammer fantasy zombies instead of Resident Evil ones, they keep coming at you until you hack them appart or burn them to hell!" you conclued as you came close," Shigure you alright?" you asked worried since she adn't said a word yeat.
She finally turned to you with a cold look in her eyes "Oh I'm perfectly fine no thanks to you" she said voice driping with sarcasm " I mean what the frak were you thinking in using a Katon jutsu so close to me without a little warning!" she said her voice climbing in both heat and volume, " I could have ended up burned you idiot, a little warning next time!" she yelled now angry...and atracting zombies.
"GUUUUAAAAH!" came the wail in between two buildings, Jane put her hands in her mouth realizing her mistake a little too late as two new types of zombies made their appearance and I cringed "Husks, frigging fraking Husks!" i blurt out, they spoted us and I quickly made a set of seals ending in the tiger seal for a higher level jutsu,"Katon: Gougakyu no Jutsu!" the over implanted bodies took the full brunt of the massive fireball scourging the cybernetics and melting their remaining flesh before their hp bars reached zero turning to smoke and leaving their respective loot behind.
Beside me Jane droped her hands from her mouth, "Those were Husks, the indocrinated humans frak me!" she mutered with a slightly white face, I noded in response not expecting to face the wankers this soon, it seemed that this ID didn't just spawned regular old zombies but Husks as well, it would be good training for when we fought then for real but dam did that spook me..."Wait a minute, what if these ain't the only kinds in here?!" the idea was scary.
Calling Jane's attention with a poke to the shoulder I place my index finder to my lips telling her to keep quiet and follow me with a hand wave, jumping up a nearby build I start looking around, i spot the regular zombies that we first encounter and Husks goind arround the place and a third kind as well, Jane saw them as well, "What are those, some kind of leech that's stuck to his head!?" she whispered to my ear, whit a quick observe to both the Husk and the third type confirmed what I already knew.

Yep the Half-life zombie his in the house as well, fan-fricking-tastic, I sign and procead to explain to Jane what we are dealing with,"I see, well we won't level up by just standing here, let's waste those wankers!" she shouted without notecing(cue facepalm), and the orde his on to us, the regular zombies and Headcrabs can't get to us but the Husks are both climbers and speeders, I shot Jane a dirty look and she add the gall to look poud, I sign again in defeat and ready a few wind jutsu this time, this was going to be a long day.
