"To think you were able to defeat me gaki, I commend you.." Mahogany met ebony.
"Aah, Sasori-san, that's where you're wrong. You had a clear chance on eliminating that old lady several times, and you hesitated too much when dealing with her. You really couldn't kill your own grandmother, could you?"
Sasori raised his head and look towards me with no emotion and no words. I could clearly see his denial sketched across his face despite his emotionless expression.
"This room has seals placed well along every inch of the walls. Chakra is entirely impossible to use. I've also taken the liberty to clog all of your joints, so expect only your neck able to move." I finished up my last words and shut the door behind me, Zabuza sitting on a chair by the door.
"Gaki, is it really a good idea to keep him locked in there by himself, no human contact and unable to move in a bright white room? Any seasoned shinobi would go insane in a month tops."
"People like Sasori-san need plenty of time to understand himself and his feelings. The five stages of grief. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. In time, he'll be able to keep up with his own feelings."
. . .
I returned to the base with Deidara, as we decided to meet Tanigakure and made our way back to the Akatsuki base.
"So Sasori no Danna actually died?"
"Hmmhm."
"I respect Sasori no Danna as a fellow artist, but for him to go out so early..." Deidara muttered,
"That Sakura girl has punches that can crush mountains, Sasori-san's puppets were easily destroyed."
"Himself too?"
"I was able to recover the remains of his body, although his inner 'heart'..." I trailed off, giving off uncertainty in my voice.
"This "Sakura" girl defeated Sasori no Danna, I'll defeat her to avenge him..." Deidara proclaimed, his eye narrowing.
"Don't get ahead of yourself. I'm sure we'll meet her again once we claim the Kyuubi, patience is a virtue."
Our short journey was cut short of conversations, as we both left each other to our own thoughts.
'Convincing Deidara to my side is impossible, I'll have to leave it canon, Sasuke will deal with him. Kisame was the most loyalist Akatsuki member, he's out. Itachi and I already communicating, as long as he takes his medicine, there shouldn't be any problem until the big fight between him and his brother. Hidan and Kakazu will go down the canon way. That's the most I could save from Akatsuki. Sadly, Konon will also have to pass...'
[+1 WIS for calculative decisions]
I slid the blue box out of my line of sight and looked at my stats. 310 stat points just waiting for me to use.
Quickly pausing the world, I opened up my menu and looked over my profile.
Still unsure how I should distribute my points to get the maximum effect, I chatted with the Game Master.
Q: What is the best way to distribute stat points giving off my build?
A: Your build is very unique as you have acquired many long-ranged attacks that undeniable OP, which later will be nerfed, as well as close combat attacks. With your build, I suggest preparing for the nerf and build up your INT for more CP or/and WIS for less CP cost for certain skills that require CP.
Since you're fond of your tanto and your skill [Blade Profiencity] is at level 327, I suggest distributing a couple points [75] into VIT, with this, you'll be able to fight in close-combat for a longer period of time.
Given the fact you are still at the prime age of learning, I suggest spending a good amount of points [80] into DEX to increase your pace of leveling up skills and flexibility. You know what they say, if they can't catch you, they can't hurt you.
I suggest not to put in points into STR as your build is more of a hit fast hit soft, whatever your definition of soft is for you as a single chakra enhanced punch could probably do at least 380 DMG. Honestly, just use some dumbbells while eating or something. Maybe [5] or [6] won't hurt.
Agility is a must with your character build. At minimum, [85] points.
If you followed my suggestions, you should have 65 skill points left, which you should distribute into WIS and INT.
However, there's also another way to spend these points, in a couple minutes, a new system update will allow you to use the [Shop] which contains potions, charms, accessories, and armor at the cost of the current currency the world you are visiting uses. The shop also has a side tab which goes to [Shop] [Skill Shop].
The [Skill Shop] is self-explanatory, as you can buy skills, including Kekkei Genkai, at the cost of skill points!
Don't worry, if you decide you want the skill [Yoton - Kekkei Genkai], the description will give you a fake story that is downloadable to make sure any confusions in the game are solved.
So, no one would question why would you have another Kekkei Genkai that popped out of nowhere and you can already wield it as if you were born with it.
[Would you like to automatically add your skill points into the Game Master's suggestions?]
[Yes] [No]
My jaw dropped.
Buying Kekkei Genkai?
Does this mean I could potentially buy a fucking Sharingan?
No, no, that would be bad. I could forever mess up the plot and I would probably be forced by the kages to reproduce to give the next generation a potential Sharingan user and a 100% Sharingan carrier gene.
Not to mention her reproductive mate would be Sasuke, in a higher chance of producing an offspring with Sharingan
"Nope."
I clicked no and painstakingly added the points one by one, furiously tapping the increasing button 210 times, adding [25] points to WIS and INT, [40] into VIT, [55] into DEX, [10] into STR, [55] into AGI.
With [100] skill points left, I checked out the [Skill Shop] and window shopped.
"[Blacksmith]...[Sculpture]...[Empathy]...[Intimindation]...I learned that already...[Tamer]...ooh [Tamer] sounds cool." I mused, clicking on the icon, the tab increasing in size explaining the skill.
[Tamer]
-Can be learned through special requirements in the real world
-Able to tame wild animals - Mountain Lions, Cheetahs, Goats, Cats, Dogs, and Goats. Lots of goats.
[25] Skill Points
"If I wasn't placed into the Naruto-verse, but more of an RPG fantasy world with monsters, this skill would be fun to use. However, everyone's fucking OP and would one-shot my mountain lion and goat. Why would I tame a goat..?"
[So many questions yet such little time...]
I scrolled down until another certain skill caught my eye.
[Poison Immunity]
-Can be learned through special requirements in the real world
-Immunity to poison, seriously? It's in the name
-You ever get sick of this time when you eat food, and you realized your health is going down at a fast rate? Then you're like shit I'm poisoned, then you die, and you realized you haven't saved since last month, and you had to deal with a boss battle again? Yeah.
-[25] Skill Point
* You Already learned this skill!
I stared at the note at the bottom with confusion, since when did I have [Poison Immunity]?
. . .
It wasn't until an hour later I'd find a Kekkei Genkai that was perfect for my fighting build.
[Jinton - Kekkei Genkai]
-Cannot be learned through special requirements in the real world
-Fast, fast, fast, swoosh, swoosh, blurs everywhere.
+Introduced in Naruto Shippuden The Movie: The Will of Fire
+Second to the Fourth Hokage's Hiraishin [See Page 7 in Skill Shop for details]
"Hiraishin cost is [500] skill points-" I paused, choking at the number, "while Jinton is only [100]."
I slowly moved my finger to the [Buy], my unsteady, shaking finger touched the [Buy] and [Okay].
[ Purchase Complete! You have attained the skill, [Jinton - Kekkei Genkai]! This skill has been removed from [Skill Shop]. Your current [Skill Points] have reached [0] ]
[+100 AGI!]
LV UP!
LV UP!
I cried softly on how quick [310] skill points were spent in two hours, that took her whole life to attain.
I switched over to [Shop] and scrolled down, buying a necklace that recovers HP and CP 10% faster and earring stud that increased LUK by 20. Both combined into a hefty number of 250,000 ryo.
Items like these with attributes were extremely rare and only possible to obtain either boss battle, special event and easter eggs.
I resumed the game and walked quietly with Deidara by my side, if not an inch ahead of me.
. . .
Placing silencing seals around the room was an easy feat, talking to Itachi was not.
"I'd already explained about my dreams, everything is going according to the plan, the one...event that troubling me is your fight against Sasuke."
Itachi nodded wordlessly and continued to sip his green tea silently with all the Uchiha grace he could muster.
"I hope your acting is on par with mine as you'll need to fake it until you make it."
Itachi rose his delicate eyebrow, "Fake it until you make it? I apologize, but could you clarify in further detail?"
"In my dreams, Sasuke is successful in his 'revenge'," I put air quotes in revenge, "and later collapse next to your body after you poke him in the forehead. As you already know, Tobi or Madara as you know, and how I know him as Obito."
Itachi eyes widen a fraction, "Obito? Shisui's older brother..?"
"Yes, that Obito that died during the mission of Destroy Kanabi Bridge issued by the Third Hokage himself and also caused the whole Kakashi and Uchiha tension.
"Yes, yes, my elders always stressed out the fact that a non-Uchiha who wields our prized Kekkei Genkai was able to live 'peacefully' in the village."
"Moving on, we'll discuss Obito's story in a further date. Obito implants your eyes into Sasuke in a later date, who then explains the whole orchestrated plan that the elders planned out for you without the approval of Sandaime. This leads Sasuke to another path of revenge for you, and with the trauma caused, he unlocks Mangekyo Sharingan. He kills Danzo, which is actually a positive for Konoha as he was involved with Orochimaru, which could weaken Konoha tremendously."
I took a deep breath and looked at Itachi.
"So in other words, I have to fool Sasuke and Obito into thinking I was defeated? How would he receive the Mangekyo Sharingan?" Itachi questioned, folding his arms.
"I plan to distract Zetsu, who collects your body. Before he can get to you, or even spectate the battle, I'll remove your eyes and leave them in a glass jar and take his eyes and implant them into you, giving you Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. Sasuke will unlock Mangekyo Sharingan after finding out the truth, go on a rampage, and then implant your eyes into himself."
"Wouldn't Zetzu and Obito be suspicious of my missing body and the obvious jar of eyes?"
"Now, Obito is a smart individual, he clearly would think of the idea of you faking your death. Using reverse reverse reverse psychology, he would come to the conclusion of you taking out your own eyes, since he already knows the true story, and believe after that, you suicided and disposed of your body to further Sasuke's improvement in power. It sounds farfetched, but believe me."
Itachi merely gave me the look.
"Fine, if my reverse reverse reverse psychology didn't work, I'll just change his memories."
"And how exactly are you going to execute that plan?"
"I know plenty of people to subdue him, erase his memories and heal him up like nothing happened. Using a technique similar to the one that controlled the Mizukage"
'Keep bullshitting until Itachi believes me, I have so many saves ready for this.'
Itachi nodded, outlining his stress marks and sighing.
"Then?"
"I'll lead you to my base so you can fully recover from that disease of yours and get used to your new Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. And meet a couple of my associates. You would probably get involved in the war to disable Kabuto and his...dead kage problem. I already marked his location. I need to prepare a disposable Sharingan eye and person to use Izanami."
"Is that all I need to know?"
I lifted my hands to massage my head until remembering,
"Sasuke 'murders' Orochimaru and forms his team which he calls Team Hebi and later Taka. Includes Uzumaki Karin, Hozuki Suigetsu, and Jugo. Karin as the sensor, she's unable to self-defense but she is extremely good at her clan's specialty, Chakra Chains. Suigetsu is able to liquidify his whole body at will, making him immune to physical attacks, he wields the infamous Kubikiribōchō-"
"-the Demon of the Mist lives." Itachi interrupted
"Yes right, how could I ever forgot about that," I replied in a dead tone.
"He once wielded Kubikiribōchō, however since I was able to change Zabuza's death, I'm unsure of the weapon he will choose. Possible a similar weapon, I'll manipulate into my liking. And finally, Jugo. He is the originator of the infamous curse mark, he, I think, forcefully absorbs Nature Chakra and goes rampaging, losing all rational thought until Sasuke came along. Very deadly, very scary. Which reminds me, I must visit Sasuke sometime next month."
Itachi merely nodded his head.
"Express my undying thirst of defeating his continuous worthless life."
"Of course."
. . .
"Sasuke-chann! I miss you sooo muchhh." I ran forward, opened my arms and attempted to leap into his arms.
Sasuke dodged, leaving me skidding back.
"Who are you?" A feminine voice rang out, revealing a small amount of disgust.
I turned around and faced red hair, red eyes, and red glasses.
'Woah, that's red.'
"Suna no Tamako. Although I don't think the sand part applies to me anymore. " I grinned, "Sasucakes, I heard you killed Orochimaru, good good. A step closer to revenge. Remember, I'm the only person from your past you can trust."
"Just tell me the info."
"Hold up Sasuke, we don't even know her, how do you know she's reliable? My sensor abilities are enough to find Itachi." Karin said, keeping her eyes on me like a true trained kunoichi.
"Uzumaki Karin, your ancestors hail for Uzushiogakure, you grew up in Kusagakure, where you and your mother lived if your mother provided healing. She passed away, leaving you to take up the job, sad childhood, honestly. You were at the same Chunin Exams as Sasuke and I, which he saved you from a bear, blah blah blah, a war happened, you sensed them and hid, Orochimaru discovered you, experimented on you, blah blah blah, you became the leading of West Base? or was it East Base? Pretty sure it was West Base. Then Sasuke came and freed everyone and you ended up following him. I could go more into detail, but that's not why I'm here." I grinned at her shocked face.
"Besides, me and Sasucakes go all away back when we were twelve, and on his first C-Ranked Mission. HahahAHA, Sasuke was such a weakling back then, knocked out my Haku. But what do you expect from nice village Konohagakure? Going rouge is the best way to increase your skills at a faster rate, if it doesn't, probably means your dead."
"Stop talking and give me the info. I can't waste time while he is out there."
"Right, right. Last time I saw Itachi was when we were extracting Ichibi, almost three ago. His tailed beast is the Kyuubi. You see where I'm getting at?"
Sasuke frowned, "That Naruto, isn't it?"
"Yes, I recommend hanging around Hi no Kuni, but the fact that you're wanted there makes me think Tanigakure, Amegakure, Kusagakure, Takigakure, Otogakure, and Yugakure. See Sasuke, if you'd let me sell Naruto, I could lure Itachi and you could finish him off."
"I'd rather defeat him without your help." Sasuke sneered.
"Love you too Sasucakes."
Sasuke looked away, "Anything else worthy enough that I should know?"
"Your partner, Suigetsu, he likes swords, don't he? So where's it?"
"The sword I want is one of the 7 Swords of the Mist." Suigetsu stated, slurping on his water bottle
"Tamako, don't you know Zabuza?" Sasuke questioned.
"There's no way I'm going to convince Zabuza to lend his precious sword to a boy ten years younger than him." I deadpanned, clearly looking unconvinced.
"If you'll give me a hint where he's at, we'll handle the rest," Sasuke noted.
"Zabuza is a good friend and ally, he's important in my plans later. How bout' I give you a sword much older than the 7 Swords of the Mist?" I offered.
Sasuke nodded.
I put my hand into my sleeve and pulled out a scroll from my inventory and poofed out Raijin no Ken.
"Sword of the Thunder God." I announced, testing into against the air.
"If I remember correctly, I destroyed that. How is it still..?"
"Sasuke, the fact that you destroyed an artifact from Senju Tobirame, the fucking Second Hokage, the fucking legend almost made me want to unfriend you."
Sasuke eyebrows rose.
"But alas, your desire for revenge is too alluring and...resourceful. In all, collecting the remnants of the blade and having it reconstructed cost millions of ryo and a lot of effort." I lied fluidly, shitting out bullshit so fluidly, I considered it an art.
I handed the blade is Sasuke.
This small gesture (not really) showcased my huge trust in him.
[+20 Relationship to Sasuke! Sasuke now trusts you!]
"If it's somehow damage, let me know, I'll get it fixed."
"Aah."
"Couldn't you say thank you?"
"Hn."
