Chapter 3 First kill and Gradulation
Thanks to the system, he had gained level rapidly and get some new dungeon keys from the daily quest 'Surprise box'. Although they are all E-rank but still provided good EXP and item. But in the end, he needs to ask Yukari to get him to the dimension where strong monsters live to level up. He even has a steady income thanks to getting money inside the dungeon and selling the magic ingredients to Patchouli, Marisa, Alice, and the other Gensokyou resident as well.
After a few runs, he finally had enough level to open the 'Store' buying system. But he immediately closed it because the price is ridiculous. I mean, even a C-rank Dagger he has right now is about 10m.
Right now it was night as Naruto goes back to Reimu house as he said: "I'm back."
"Dinner will be ready in a moment so go change." Said Reimu
"Okay…" Said Naruto tiredly as he walking in tiredly
After done changing, he then lied down on the tatami as he breathed in and out tiredly.
After that, the two then eating as Reimu said: "Speaking of which, it has been like… a long time since you are here right? Have you familiar with the Gensokyou resident yet?"
"Yeah… besides the fact that Marisa tried to rob me dried and Remillia attempted to get me in the Scarlet Devil crews, everything is fine." Said Naruto
"She still holds on to that?" Asked Reimu deadpanned
"Well… Remillia is quite a possessive person after all. Or is it Youkai?" Said Naruto chuckling
"Then… what level are you now?" asked Reimu
"About 52… It starts to get slower since I don't have a higher rank key." Said Naruto
"Then I guess I don't have to worry much at all." Said Reimu
"What do you mean?" Asked Naruto
"Wasn't your graduate… as you call it, a few weeks away?" Asked Reimu
"Oh right… I was so focused on leveling I forgot about that…" Said Naruto embarrass
"Honestly… what in the world are you doing at the school anyway?" Asked Reimu
"Well… it's not like the teacher besides this Iruka guy even bother to teach me anyway." Said Naruto asking for a second
"Huh? Just what is this leader of your doing? Wasn't he supposed to keep an eye on you?" Asked Reimu refill his bowl
"Most likely stuck behind the desk full of paperwork. Now that I think about it… why do I even want to be Hokage when all the old man does is sitting behind the desk?" Asked Naruto wonders taking the bowl of rice
"You are still young and wanting attention… that much is oblivious." Said Reimu
"Yeah… I guess you are right." Said Naruto chuckling
At the morning at Konoha, after school, he then going back as he bought another patch of leaf tea for Reimu. His senses then start picking up followers
'Seven… no eight. They all are mostly chunin and civilians. Why would they…?' Though Naruto
'Oh who am I kidding? I'm the menace. That's more than enough reason for them anyway…' Though Naruto shaking his head smiling
'Very well… let see what they want.' Though Naruto as he took a little… 'detour'
At the dead end, Naruto then smirking as he said: "Isn't it about time that you come out?"
"So you noticed." Said a Chunin came out as other along with civilian covering the exit come in closer
"Look… can you leave me alone? I mean… I'm not even bothering you all with my prank anymore so why are you doing this?" Asked Naruto tiredly
"Shut up! Because of you that a councilman had been killed unjustified!" Said a civilian woman
"Councilman? Oh you mean the guy that been executed the other day? But wasn't hiring ANBU to kill a kid illegal?" Asked Naruto
"SHUT UP! YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A DEMON!" Shout the woman
'Great… a pain in the ass.' Though Naruto tiredly
"But now… you will die. I had gathered this many people to kill you. Let see how you can run now!" Said the woman insane
Naruto powders what to do then suddenly a screen appeared:
An emergency quest had appeared
'Emergency quest?' Though Naruto as he was interrupted by a kunai with a paper bomb and a Raiton Jutsu aiming at him
"We did it! We killed the demon!" Said the Chunin cheering
Meanwhile, with Naruto, he is now lying on the rubbles as he looks at the quest:
Emergency quest: Kill your enemy
Many human beings are trying to kill you. Kill them all to preserve your lives. Warning: Penalty will be added if you failed
'I see… so the system told me that if I kill them, I will live. If I don't, then I'll die instead. It doesn't need a weakling. It needs a strong Naruto Uzumaki.' Though Naruto slowly standing up
'Fine then… you people like hunting. Let see how you feel when you are being hunted!' Though Naruto looking at them
"The demon is alive? Tch… you people must have held back." Said the woman clicking her tongue
"Y-Yeah…" Said the Chunin 'I was sure that I was using my Chakra full power on that jutsu'
Unknown to them, the entire alley had been swallow to another dimension as no one will be able to leave now.
At Gensokyou netherworld, Yukari now eating popcorn with Yuyuko as she said: "Hurry Youmu! The show is about to start!"
"yes… Yuyuko-sama." Said Youmu
Back to Naruto. He slowly walks to them as he said: "You people love to hunting so much? How would you like to be hunted instead?"
"haha… HAHAHAHA! Did you hear that everyone? The demon thinks he can kill us?!" Said the woman laughing along with the other
A lone chunin slowly walk up to Naruto as he said mockingly: "Listen demon. Do you really think you can beat a Chunin?"
Naruto only answer him by putting his dagger on the Chunin neck and sliced his head clean off
"W-what the?" The onlooker shocked at that
"W-When did that brat get that knife?" Asked the woman
'How is this possible? Even if off-guard, that guy was still a chunin. So how did that brat?' Though the other chunin
"W-What are you waiting for?! Killed him!" Said the woman angry
The Chunin snapped out of it as he said: "Raiton: Thunder Wolf."
3 large wolf makes of lighting then charge at Naruto with fast speed but unfortunately for them… Naruto was faster
"You're annoying…" Said Naruto near the chunin as the chunin was shredded to piece
"… DIE DEMON!" Said the villagers as all of them charge in.
Naruto then dashes behind one and sliced his throat off killing one and then caught one hand, stabbing the villager's gut and then cleaving the villager in half
"H-How is the brat moving so fast?!" Said a genin as he throwing the shuriken
Naruto then dodge all of them as he then past through all of the villagers and Genin as the dagger effect start to kick in
"W-What is this?!" Said one Genin as he bleeding rapidly from all over his body
"I-I can't move…" Said a villager
"Mommy!" Cried out a genin
And then… there was no one left beside the ring leader woman. Naruto slowly walking toward her as she scrambles back in fear. She tried to leave the alley but for some reason, something had blocked her from leaving.
"W-Wait… who do you think you are?! If you killed me… do you think you will get away with it?" Said the woman tried to be brave
"Isn't that apply to you as well? But you still tried to kill me… twice." Said Naruto looks at her smirking
"You brat! I'm the mistress of a councilman. If you kill me…" the word died on her throat as two of her arms being sliced off
She screams out in pain as blood not only pour out of her mouth but also from her eye, nose, and mouth.
"W-Wait… please don't kill me! I beg you! I admit I was wrong!" Said the woman tried to beg for her life
"Beg… in hell." Said Naruto sends her head flying.
'Ah… I truly did take other life now.' Though Naruto as the screen appeared:
Emergency Quest completed
Please choose your reward:
Status Recovery
Stats point +10
Skill: Bloodlust
'Bloodlust? I got a skill for a reward now?' Though Naruto inspects it
Skill: Bloodlust (100 MP use)
Using your bloodlust to install 'Fear' upon your opponent. If strong enough can knock down your opponent. If not, decrease the target all stats 50 %. 'Fear' status will be applied (Duration depend on resistant). Several targets can be used on.
'This is… actually quite useful. I think I'll choose this.' Though Naruto choosing his reward
After that, he then said: "Now if only Yukari can put the alley back to where it was."
As if hearing him, the alley returns to where it was as Naruto then run up of the building and goes back to his house via the roof.
(Netherworld)
"So how was it?" Asked Yukari
"It was interesting~! I can't wait to get to know him! Maybe I'll throw in Youmu like how Remillia did~!" Said Yuyuko clapping her hand
"YUYUKO-SAMA!" Said Youmu
"It was a joke. He won't accept it anyway…" Said Yuyuko waving her hand childishly
'Somehow, I can't pass that as a joke at all.' Though Youmu tiredly
(Hakurei Shrine)
"You killed a group of villagers and some Genin and Chunin?" Asked Reimu
"Yeah…" Said Naruto changing for new clothes since his was dirty… with blood.
"Then why are you so down?" Asked Reimu
"Well… It doesn't change the fact that I actually took a life let alone a whole lot…" Said Naruto
"Listen… it's true that is wrong. But they were the one tried to kill you in the first place, so it was your right to do so in order to survive." Said Reimu "As long as you don't find the joy in killing, that was more than enough to show that you are still human. Only the lowest scum of all scum enjoy killing."
"I see… thanks, Reimu. I mean it." Said Naruto
"Yeah yeah… now sit down and wait for dinner." Said Reimu preparing the dinner
As he was waiting, he then heard: "Like father like son. Ready to be a bitch to your female mate huh?"
"Eh? Who's there?" Asked Naruto tried to use his senses
"It's useless. You won't find me with that… 'power' of yours. Close your eye for a moment then I'll take you to your mind."
"Enter my mind?" Asked Naruto 'Could it be…' as he closing his eye
Once he opens his eye, a large cage appeared in front of him. A red eye appeared as a voice rang out: "I believe this is the first time we have met. Allow me to introduce myself, I am the one that the Yondaime sealed into you… the Kyuubi no Yoko"
(Konoha)
Sarutobi is now massaging another incoming headache. An ANBU had just reported to him of the death of a group of civilian along with bodies of 3 Genin and 2 Chunin. Among the group of the civilian is the wife of the councilman that he had executed on the other day.
Back at the matter, he is now ordering the ANBUs to investigate the crime scene to see if there is any clue. But the only clue is the killer is using some kind of short sword or a dagger judging from the wounds of the bodies. He even asked Inochi to check the brain of the dead bodies but for some reason, the brain was too damaged to use the jutsu on.
The forensic told him that there was a trace of the bodies being poison but they can't find any trace of the poison inside the bodies at all. It was like the poison just vanished… like magic.
Honestly… just what happened in this village?
(Back to Naruto)
"I had doubt since you said you will bring me to my mind." Said Naruto looked at the Kyuubi unfazed
"Good. Not only the brain but also the courage to stand before me as well. No doubt from your… 'grinding' as you called it." Said the Kyuubi
"So what is it that you want?" Asked Naruto
"Straight to the point huh? Fine by me… I have a proposal." Said the Kyuubi
"Depend on what is it…" Said Naruto
"… Fair enough. I want to access to your sight. Just seeing from your memory is boring. I rather a live show. And of course, I'll turn my eye away in case of something… private." Said the Kyuubi
"That's all?" Asked Naruto surprise
"It's not like freeing me is an option since if we both tried then the most likely case is the death of both of us. And of course, in exchange, I'll lend you my power. Who knows, you might achieve a… 'skill'." Said the Kyuubi
"… Two conditions." Said Naruto
"Okay… I'm curious. What do you want next?" Asked Kyuubi
"Your real name. I can't just call you Kyuubi since I know another one." Said Naruto
"Fair enough. The name is Kurama." Said Kurama
"Alright. The second is… what do you mean from before by 'Like father like son'?" Asked Naruto
"I'm glad you asked that. But I think you already know the answer by now." Said Kurama
"So it really was true huh? Since the only one you have met is the Yondaime. Then I must be his son." Said Naruto
"And why can you be so sure? I mean… if you learn history at that Academy, I'm sure that you know that I have met Hashirama and Madara as well." Said Kurama
"Because you said 'son'. Not 'descendant'. Besides, I had seen the two in the book. Of all the three, the Yondaime is the one who had the closest feature similar to me." Said Naruto
"HAHAHAHA! As expected. You are interesting. Look like my choice of making the deal with you is not wrong at all." Said Kurama
"Then what about my mother?" Asked Naruto
"Your mother is Kushina Uzumaki and she… was my container before you. Similar to the first Hokage as well." Said Kurama
"Hou? Why is no one heard about this? I imagine that will cause quite an uproar." Said Naruto
"Because the information was supposed to be a secret. Your father and that idiot old bag are too naïve thinking after so many lives had lost that night, they think that the village will think you as a hero." Said Kurama
"More like stupidity to be exact. They think too highly of the villagers. They are human, they won't get rid of their hatred that easily." Said Naruto tiredly
"You know quite a lot about that subject there…" Said Kurama
"Living in Gensokyou for awhile make me understand. Heck… the reason that human can become a Youkai because of hatred after all." Said Naruto
"Let just hope those villagers won't become one…" Said Kurama
"Yeah… because that… will become too much of a headache." Said Naruto
"I think you should go back now. Your mate is coming back." Said Kurama
"She's not my mate." Said Naruto
"Sure… 'girlfriend' or whatever you want to call her." Said Kurama
Back to the outside, Naruto wakes up to see Reimu enter and said: "Dinner ready."
"Thanks Reimu. Itadakimasu." Said Naruto as they clapping their hand
After a few weeks later, Naruto kept on 'grinding' for level and then sparring with Sakuya and… Flander
He noticed two things. First is Flander is strong as hell. Her attack is quite fast and it can track him. Combine with Sakuya who can move faster than the speed of light… yeah, he had quite a hard time there.
But thanks to that, his 'Agility' stats had risen quite fast and he managed to discover the second thing
Even if he was 'defeated' by the two, he doesn't have a penalty and his stats steady going up by sparring with them. Could it be the 'Spell-call' rule affecting his system somehow?
But oh well… who could ignore free stats?
And then, before the Graduation Exam, Naruto is now resting on the grass as he had just finished sparring with Sakuya and Meiling per Remillia order.
"So I take it that tomorrow is this 'Graduation Exam' commit huh?" Asked Remillia
"Yeah…" Said Naruto sitting up
"You better graduated. I can't have my future servant failing class." Said Remillia
"You will never let that go, don't you?" Asked Naruto deadpanned
All Remillia did was drinking her tea.
"Good luck on tomorrow exam Naruto." Said Sakuya
"You better pass so you can play with me after that!" Said Flander
"Ahahaha…" Said Naruto chuckling dryly as Reimu came to pick him up after that since he's no longer can move due to high 'fatigue'
The Exam day had arrived as Naruto walking to the Academy. It seems that the incident a few weeks ago had finally died down. Wonder what will everyone think that an Academy student managed to kill a group of civilians with Genin and Chunin as well?
At the Academy, all of the students had sat down as Iruka said: "Alright listen carefully, everyone. Your test is simple. Perform 3 basic ninjutsu: Henge, Kawakiri, Bushin, and you pass. Now sit down and wait for your turn to be called."
'Great… it that stupid jutsu again. I can kill a bunch of demon beasts that could rip most of the chunin throat off and I can't even perform something that simple.' Though Naruto with a tired look
"It because it was so simple that you have a hard time." Said Kurama
"What do you mean?" Asked Naruto
"I remember your mother had that same problem. So, in the end, she had to use a different jutsu." Said Kurama
"A different jutsu?" Asked Naruto
"Naruto Uzumaki. You are up." Said Iruka
"Go. I'll explain on the way." Said Kurama
Naruto walking to the room as he heard mocking word like 'He's gonna fail again' 'What a dobe'
Naruto sighed as he arrived at the testing room. After Iruka sit, he then said: "All right Naruto. Perform three basic jutsu and you pass"
Naruto nodded as he performed Henge and Kawakiri that passable. And for the bushin…
"Iruka-sensei, can I try a different bushin jutsu?" Asked Naruto
Iruka raises his eyebrows at that as he said: "Sure."
"Okay then. Kage Bushin no Jutsu!" Said Naruto as 10 perfect copy appeared perfectly
'Wow… this jutsu fit me so easily.' Though Naruto
"Told you so." Said Kurama
Meanwhile, Iruka just dropped his pen in shocked as an Academy Dead Last had performed a Jounin level Bushin. And he does not even look winded after summoning 10 Bushin.
"Wow… I'm impressed Naruto. You can perform a Jounin level jutsu so easily. You must have trained hard huh?" Asked Iruka
'He had no idea…' Though Naruto chuckling
"So do I pass Sensei?" Asked Naruto
"You passed of course! Come and take your headband!" Said Iruka truly happy for him but confuse that where did Naruto learn Kage Bushin in the first place?
Naruto took the headband as he said: "Alright! Ichiraku… here I come!" as he dashed off
Had he stayed a bit longer, Naruto would have seen a scowl look at Mizuki face.
(Hokage office)
"Is it true Iruka?" Asked Sarutobi
"Yes Hokage-sama. He really used Kage Bushin on his Exam. I checked them and all of them are solid." Said Iruka
"I understand that Kage Bushin isn't common but it's not rare either since Jounin using them. Naruto most likely encounters someone who used that jutsu and tried it himself." Said Sarutobi
"What should we do Hokage-sama?" Asked Iruka
"Well… I don't think we have to worry since thanks to the Kyuubi, he had no problem using it at all. But this begs the question, when did he practice it at all?" Asked Sarutobi
At the night, Naruto showing the old man Ichiraku his headband as he orders the ramen.
Both him and Ayame miss him and happy for him. They miss him because recently, he always ordering them to his house as he said he was busy training. And this must be the result of the training after all.
Naruto after paying for 32 bowls of ramen which shocked Ayame and Teuchi since he's paying for himself. Teuchi then said the money will be for the ramen at before when he couldn't pay while today is on the house to celebrates his graduation.
Naruto is now walking back to his house as he then senses ANBU and many ninjas running around at the time of the night. Naruto then hides at the nearby as he heard
"Keep searching. The thief can't be fall." Said a Jounin
"If we fail to find the thief, we will lose the Scroll of Sealing!" Said the ANBU
'Scroll of Sealing? Wasn't that the dangerous scroll that contains many jutsu since the Shodai time?' Though Naruto
"That scroll supposed to be kept guard quite tight by the Hokage himself. Whoever this is, they must have quite familiar with Hokage Tower structure." Said Kurama
"Then let us see just who is this criminal?" Said Naruto disappearing from the alley
Using his sense, he can sense a lone figure dashing through the forest. Naruto arrived to see the Chunin at the Academy… Mizuki if he remembers it right. Which is weird though… how did an Academy Instructor know the structure of the Hokage Tower?
"hahaha… Orochimaru-sama is right. Konoha is too lax in security thus it was too easy for me." Said Mizuki
Well… that answers that. Still, what should he do?
"Kill him. He might have good EXP." Said Kurama
"I don't know… well, couldn't hurt to try." Said Naruto landing down
"Who's there?" Asked Mizuki
"Hello there Mizuki-sensei. Up for a late night walk?" Asked Naruto
"Oh… that's right." Said Mizuki lying
"With the Forbidden Scroll of Sealing on your back? That's quite a walk there…" Said Naruto with sarcasm
"So you know…" Said Mizuki prepares for the large shuriken
"You do realize that I could scream and ANBU will be here before you could even throw that right?" Asked Naruto
"Like they believe you… Demon!" Said Mizuki
'Of course, he had to be that type of idiot.' Though Naruto
"Eh? What do you mean by that?" Asked Naruto
"Hahaha… you didn't know huh? Then let me tell you the truth. 12 years ago, the Kyuubi that destroyed the village and taking many lives is you!" Said Mizuki pointing at him
"That's why… if I killed you now, I could easily frame you and get away with it!" Said Mizuki
"I see… but there's an error of that plan Mizuki-sensei." Said Naruto holding one finger up
"And what is that Demon?" Asked Mizuki mocking Naruto
Squelch. A wet sound was heard as his arm holding the shuriken fall down. Mizuki slowly registers the pain as he screams out… or he would be if Naruto didn't slice off his vocal core with blood pouring out of his mouth and he can't move
"You didn't consider the fact that I could easily kill you." Said Naruto eye flash blue as he uses 'Bloodlust' at the minimum level.
Mizuki starts to feel his leg sinking down as darkness is staring back at him. He then starts to understand the feeling he had right now… Fear. Fear at the brat in front of him. He wants to angry at the brat but his 'Fear' overtook him.
He then felt a dagger slowly sink into his heard as he died with horror on his face.
'Huh… To think I even power down 'Bloodlust' at the minimum and he still crapping his pant. And my EXP not even raise at all! This is a waste of time.' Though Naruto
An alarm from the system then tells him that something is on Mizuki body. He picks it up to finds:
Item: Orochimaru abandon lab key
Rank: C-
Type: Key
The key to entering the dungeon of a mad scientist. The lab was overrun by many mutant demon beasts due to the sustain left abandon there.
'Huh… it seems it's not a total waste after all.' Though Naruto putting the key to 'Inventory' as he disappeared right before the ANBU arrived to find Mizuki body.
Done. Naruto had his first kill and graduated. In case everyone wondering, the 'Spell-call' rule is like a non-lethal training ground thus affecting the system like that. Please PM or Review
