Chapter 7

"Yes!" she answered excitedly. Becoming a ninja seemed like a really good career choice. And if the people she worked with were nice people like Mitsuki, Boruto and Sarada, then she had no reason to refuse. Why would she refuse to become a ninja?

Mitsuki chuckled at her enthusiastic response. He took out a square thing that looked like the local version of Remnant's Scrolls but was a bit bulkier, he took a look at the square thing and nodded to himself.

"I guess we still have much time left. How about I give you a tour of this place so you don't get lost when you are on your own, alright?" Mitsuki suggested.

She nodded. She had almost forgotten this place was a maze. It was better to know her way around sooner rather than later.

"Alright, let's go."

"This is the garden." Mitsuki gestured toward the 'garden' in front of them.

More like a jungle than a garden... Her thoughts however were soon interrupted by a massive snake slithering in front of her, moving into the garden.

"What...?" Her mouth was agape as she turned to Mitsuki who smiled back sheepishly.

"Ah, it's just Tei, he keeps the pests away from the garden," he explained.

"What kind of pests..." She was interrupted again as she heard a loud screech from direction of where the snake went. A giant centipedes as big as a house burst from the woods only to be pulled back-No, swallowed by the snake from before.

"That kind of pest," he simply said.

"..."

"Don't worry, he won't bite you," Mitsuki reassured her.

He won't bite me? He swallowed me! Was what went through her mind even as she gulped and nodded.

"This place is also where we get most of the ingredients for our medicine supplies," He pointed to the other side of the forest-like garden toward a huge tract of land where various herbs were planted. Even as Blake looked, a on a giant fly landed on the gaping, fanged maw of a giant, human sized Venus Fly Trap and the plant closed its mouth with a loud snapping sound.

She turned her head toward Mitsuki.

"Are you sure this is a garden and not a deathtrap?" she asked him with a deadpan expression.

"Hmm..." He playfully adopted a thinking pose. "Well, we do use the intruders and thieves as fertilizer." His smile was disturbingly innocent after making such a remark.

-0-

That was it. Blake was starting to doubt her choice of living with Mitsuki and was seriously considering if it was going to be detrimental to her health.

"And this is the training room. Though as you can see this place is a little bit different from what you saw this morning." Mitsuki showed her the room.

"..."

"Blake?" Mitsuki looked at her with a confused expression.

"..."

"Blake? Hey Blake, you there?"

Still no response.

"Are you sure this is the training room from this morning and not a... torture chamber, Mitsuki?" She turned to face him with a blank look on her face.

"Yes?"

"So..." She trailed off. "Why does this place have a nail bed, an Iron Maiden and all these other devices which I'm sure are used for torturing people?" She raised an eyebrow, which was just about the only expression she could muster after seeing the arrangement of the 'Training Room'.

"Oh, it's for my parent relaxation time," he explained. "And you could change this place just by pushing this switch." He walked over to a switch panel on the wall with different kinds of writing on it and pushed one of the buttons. With a poof of smoke the room changed back into the room that she saw this morning complete with the 'Mokujin' doll standing still beside her.

The room had changed, but so had Blake's impression of the person of unidentified gender named Orochimaru.

"And this is the lab."

Blake looked around the place and couldn't help but feel strangely suspicious. This place looked like a normal laboratory and after the oddness of all the other facilities it was quite strange in its normalcy. She was kind of expecting a friendly zombie or something equally outrageous to pop out right in front of her any second now.

"Oi Mitsuki, who is this little girl?" A woman approached them. Her short crimson hair and glasses strangely reminded her of Sarada.

"This is Blake. She going to live here from now on." He patted her head. "Blake, introduce yourself."

"My name is Blake." She bowed like the people here seemed to do and added a little smile for good measure. "Nice to meet you."

"My name is Karin," The woman returned her smile. "Nice to meet you too Blake. I hope you enjoy your stay here." She then turned to Mitsuki. "Mitsuki, why do I have a hard time sensing her chakra?" Her expression turned serious. "Her chakra is pretty minuscule even for a child."

Mitsuki rubbed the base of his neck. "It's a long story, I'll explain later."

Karin nodded.

"I smell something fishy," Blake absentmindedly said.

"Ouch, that's pretty rude!" said a man with light blue hair and jagged sharp teeth.

"So, you took a cue from Orochimaru eh, Karin?" The man flashed a mocking smile full of sharp, shark-like teeth at her.

Was this man some sort of Shark Faunus, Blake wondered?

"What are you implying, Suigetsu?" Karin growled back.

"That the little missy with the sharp tongue is your chil-." Before the man could even finish his sentence Karin's fist made contact with his face and with a resounding splash his head burst into water.

Blake's eyes went wide at the strange sight. This lab was not a normal place after all.

"Sheeesh, you can't even take a joke..." Slowly water gathered to the place where the watery remains of the man's neck was and restored his head.

"Not funny." She crossed her arms and huffed.

"Why do I have the feeling this is a daily occurrence?" Blake turned to Mitsuki, already predicting how this was going to go.

"You learn fast. I'm so proud." Mitsuki smirked.

"So, how does his head become water?" she asked Mitsuki while looking at the still bickering Suigetsu and Karin.

"It's called a Bloodline Limit. It's basically an ability that passes down genetically." He looked thoughtful for a second. "I guess your cat ears could be countedas a Bloodline Limit if you could pass it down to your children."

That made Blake a little curious. "How do people react to those with Bloodline Limits?"

"Well, if you have a pretty obvious Bloodline Limit you may get stared at by people until they get used to it, like if you have six arms for example," he explained and then added, "A Bloodline Limit like yours is pretty common, so I doubt people would take notice."

Blake nodded. It certainly was reassuring that this place did not have a blatant discrimination.

"Well, while they bicker let's continue our tour around, shall we?"

After finishing the tour around the base and sending Blake to her room Mitsuki came back to the lab to talk with Karin and asked for her help.

"Alright, I'm going to prepare the tools to help you share your chakra with her," Karin sighed. "I can't believe that girl is from another world. And why don't you just ask the Hokage to give her chakra?"

"She already got a bit of the Hokage's chakra in her to help her communicate. I just want to help her get a little bit more." Mitsuki shrugged.

Karin nodded, apparently satisfied with his answer.

"Then come back tomorrow morning. It will be done by then."

AN: The new Boruto manga almost killed my muse. Seriously Kishimoto Assistant giving Boruto a katana is justified because he is Sasuke student. But giving Sarada a hooker outfit and change her attidude to part 1 Sakura...

And don't get me started on Hinata. All those curves... Lose. Hinata has officially become a breast cancer survivor. Seriously she became a loli.

Though the story isn't too bad and it was still the first chapter so I reseved my judgement.
