The Next Day
I woke up early to set out earlier to find my next sensei. I packed my things, I strapped my Naginata to my back, my kusarigama to my right hip, and Ryuujin Jakka to my left hip. I got dressed in brown anbu pants, with brown tape that taped the bottoms of the pant legs to my legs, I wore a black shirt that was covered in a black cloak. I still wore a half mask over my face, and I now owned an amigasa.
I began my travels once again, heading toward Sunagakure this time. I wanted to see a specialist on poisons, and traps.
A few days later
When I finally arrived in Sunagakure, I didn't have any Id, so I had to sneak past the guards, and their hidden anbu. I sought out the poisons specialist. I eventually found the poison specialist.
I walked into the building. "Hello, I'm here to learn about poisons, and the effects they can or can't cause. If you will have me I am interested in learning." I spoke in a tone that conveyed my eagerness to learn.
"Very well, go down the hall to the left, the first door on the right will be your room, you will have four months to learn anything and everything you can." The specialist spoke.
Following their instructions, I found my room for the next four months. I set my bag holding my stuff on the floor. I then noticed the note on the bed that said, "Go to sleep now, and you shall begin your studies in the morning."
Nodding to myself, I layed on the bed and fell asleep.
The Next Morning
I woke up and got something to eat. Getting ready quickly I opened the door, and got out to the main foyer, and got prepared to learn.
"Ok, son, I will be honest, the only way to learn what a poison can do to a person's body, is to test it. So my teachings will be hands off for the most part. I will let you read up on anything you wish to read, I will let you test anything you make. I do not care if you kill people with the poisons you do make, but make sure to cover your tracks." He spoke.
"Thank you." I replied. I made hand signs to the shadow clone jutsu, making four hundred clones to explore the library. "One hundred of you go to the north hall of the library, one hundred to the south, one hundred to the west, and one hundred to the east. Dispel yourselves in groups of ten after ten hours." I spoke to my clones.
As I watched them go to their respective halls, I decided to leave the library and do my physical training. As I trained I thought over my skills. My nin, tai, and genjutsu, were now all low jounin to high chunin skill level. My speed was low anbu level. My chakra control was high anbu level, my chakra reserves were mid Jounin level. My kenjutsu was at a low kage level. And my fuinjutsu skill would dwarf Jiraiya of the sannin.
Breaking out of my thoughts, I decided to go for a run in the desert. I was almost to the walls when I heard screaming. Curious, I decided to investigate. What I found was surprising. A child my age was using the earth in ways just as I was. I could also detect a very large amount of chakra sealed inside of him. I approached him casually.
"You know hurting others just because of bloodlust isn't smart. Because mindless killing will cause fear of you around others, and that fear can become anger, or even send people into a sense of fight or flight response and make them lash out at you, and then you will defend yourself, and cause the cycle again and again and again." I spoke to him.
He turned to me with rage in his eyes, but he suddenly grabbed his head in pain, as if something was speaking to him in a loud voice. "Mother says, you have the blood of grandfather."
"Uhmm, that's not weird at all. I can help you sleep." I say.
"Please."
I nod at him, I step closer, his sand instinctively goes to defend him. I lay a hand on his forehead, and grab a brush from one of my storage seals on my arms. I begin to draw a circle on his stomach, inside the circle I drew for triangles overlapping, then three circles on top of the triangles, then an x over the circles. I then put my palm on the seal, and spoke, "Sealing arts of the heavenly scribes: Seal of the Seven Virtues." With that I activated the seal. I then undid the seal on his forehead, and transferred the beast to the new seal.
After doing so, the boy fell asleep. After about thirty minutes he woke up. He mumbled, "I slept. I actually slept."
"Yes you did, how does it feel to sleep like a normal person?" I ask.
"You're still here? It felt good. Amazing even." He spoke, "My name is Gaara, what is yours?"
"My name is Shenlo." I replied. I decided it was time for me to leave back to the library of poisons.
I walked toward the library, and found my room.
Time skip four months
I stood on the steps to the building that had become my temporary home. I had learned a lot about poisons, ranging from poisons that would put people to sleep, or make them dizzy, or silk to lethal poisons that could kill within seconds, or even poisons that target certain organs. I learned how to apply them to my weapons, and to kunai and senbon. I had become the youngest master of poisons. I left suna to continue my journey.
Time skip eight months
I hunted missing nin, from all five great nations. I had discovered I was in the bingo book as a person to watch out for. I was given a flee on sight order for anyone under the rank of jounin skill. I was wanted in every nation to join as a shinobi. I now stood at a height of five foot eight inches. My hair now laid down relatively, a small section of blue colored hair covered the right half of my face, leaving only my left eye open to the world.
I was in search of one last sense before I had to return to Konohagakure. I traveled to Kumogakure to be trained by their kinkaku force. It was founded by the second raikage, so I knew they would be good trainers. I actively searched them out within Kumogakure. I had finally found their building. Luckily for me they had been searching for new recruits. So I joined as a new member of the kinkaku force.
Time Skip 1 year
In the Kinkaku force I learned basically the same skills you would need for anbu. I learned tracking, demolition, close, mid, and long range combat, I learned strategy, torture, and the preassure points of the body. I increased my strength with heavy weights, gravity seals, and resistance seals. I also used gravity seals and resistance seals to increase my speed. I was sannin level with strength and speed.
My nin, tai, and genjutsu were at anbu level. My kenjutsu and fuinjutsu were at kage level. My bukijutsu(weapon techniques, for the kusarigama, and the naginata) were at mid anbu level. My stealth skills were at a low kage level. My interrogation and torture skills were at high jounin.
I now stood at a height of six foot three inches. My hair went down to my mid back, blue bangs framed the right half of my face still. I wore a form fitting black shirt over it, I wore a chest protector, I also wore form fitting black anbu pants tapered at the bottom, and black shinobi sandals. I wore black fingerless gloves with matte black pieces of metal on the back of my hands.
I got up and got dressed, making sure to not make any noise. I had to figure out how to leave the kinkaku force without anyone noticing. I quietly slip away from my room. But I forgot one thing, the door to my room has a stronger spring than other doors. I let go of the door and it slammed shut. The others in the force immediately got up and started running to me. The alarm went off, a code started transmitting.
No one was supposed to leave their rooms at night, the only reason one would leave their rooms at night was to defect. Acting quickly I jumped up above the member running at me. I grabbed my naginata and stabbed him. I balanced on the tip of my weapon for a moment before stomping the next person to the ground as I fell, effectively crushing their ribcage.
The first guys body still on my weapon, I sling my naginata around and threw the dead corpse into the oncoming warriors. Channeling fire chakra into my weapon I swing it in a diagonal line, sending out a crescent of flames that consumed the people I once called allies. Behind me were five orbs of elements that shot out rays of each corresponding element that deflected thrown objects at me. Plant life burst through the walls and strangled and impaled many of the kinkaku force.
I walked through the carnage going on around me, slowly finishing off those who didn't die at first. All was going well until I was near the entrance where I found the one person I feared.
The commander of the Kinkaku force. He was a beast of a man. Standing at an astounding height of six foot nine inches( heh nice), with massive rippling muscles. Carrying a long sword, dressed in a white hoodie tank top, black pants, and combat boots.
He lowered his sword and pointed it at me. I sighed knowing that I would have to fight this man. I put the naginata back into place on my back. I drew Ryuujin Jakka. I gripped the handle with both hands and got into the traditional stance. We circled each other for a few moments before we each went for a strike. He went for a side swipe, I blocked with the flat of Ryuujin Jakka, and kicked him away. Noticing that he only slid back a few feet, I undid the gravity and resistance seals. "Kai." Glowing purple for a second, I stood, moving my limbs to get used to the movements of my body.
Time began to slow down.
I got back into my stance, he swung downward at a left diagonal angle.
I jumped over the strike.
I landed on his blade.
I ran up the blade.
Continuing up his arm.
Across his shoulders and jumped.
Twisting in the air.
Simultaneously I swung and bellowed., "RYUUJIN JAKKA!"
With that fire flew from the blade like a waterfall. The buildings around us lit aflame, the ground was scorched. The commander's body was gone.
Standing quickly, I sheathed Ryuujin Jakka back on my left hip, and ran toward the walls of Kumogakure.
After ten minutes of running, I made it to the walls of Kumo. Turning back to the city in the mountains, I jumped backwards giving a two finger salute. Twisting in air, I started to run down the mountain. I then proceeded to run toward Hi no kuni, finally it was time to return to konoha to become a genin in nothing but name.
