Well with all that said and done let's get on with the story.
"Muhahaha. Run naruto. Run," I said as we ran away from the Anbu because we had already defeated the jonin stupid fools don't even have the stamina to chase children. Now we are running from anbu's and if you want the reason let's move back a bit.
-3 hours ago-
Alone in the training ground without sasuke because of the stunt we pulled with him in the hot springs. shikamaru, choji, shino, and kiba was not here because there family were training them. I bet kiba got the short end of the stick because his mother was there and now I think he is getting tortured with training. Me and naruto were left to train for ourself and I'm currently resting while naruto is looking very healthy and his chakra has returned to normal, while there were some problems with the chains at the start because it stabbed me here and there on his sleep and when naruto exploded the air balloon it stabbed me in my hand. Naruto is in the last stage of the Rasengan pushing himself and I watched in boredom and something popped up in my head.
"Hey naruto, do you want to test our skills?," I said to naruto with a grin.
"In what way?" he asked and I just grinned at him even harder.
-Moments later-
"Bro what are we doing," naruto asked scared.
"Shhhh. This is a secret mission," as we continued to sneak and naruto just followed behind me.
As we entered the second floor of the hokage tower and continued to snoop around looking for something I want to see. Moments later we found what I wanted.
"Hahaha. We found it naruto," I said in a whisper.
"What?" naruto said.
"Come now let's go. Hehe hehe," as I opened a door and we entered a locker room where there was weapons and sitting areas, The lockers were not even locked just a little pin holding it close.
After that me and naruto left the room because it was not the right room, and both me and naruto just walked around looking for another room just to bump into jonin's which me and naruto knocked out. I punched him in the crotch making him pass out from pain [secret move: ball buster]. Naruto just simply jumped and kicked him in the temple, smashing the other side of his head to the wall.
"Naruto you are too soft," I said as I looked at him.
"And your too ruthless. Poor guy he didn't deserve this," Naruto said while he prayed to the man I knocked down and the spirit of his balls could almost be seen floating away.
"They were the enemy and this is our mission," I said to naruto.
"Yeh yeh yeh just get on with it," as naruto waved me off and we walked away.
Me and naruto continued to walk around looking for things. It would have looked awkward if anyone saw two pint sized brats knocking out jonins and entering rooms or more like peeking inside.
"Naruto I found it," I said as I entered the room it was a room with multiple scrolls but there was one big one and that was our target.
"Naruto that's our target," I said while pointing at a big scroll twice the size of our body.
"Are you sure? I mean isn't this dangerous we are practically stealing from the hokage," naruto nervously asked.
"Nah, now come let's get it," I said as I grabbed the scroll and hid it somewhere in the room.
"Wherent we going to steal that?" naruto asked.
"No that would be a crime, we are doing a prank not a crime," as I transformed my satchel into the scroll.
"Now let's go," as I opened the door. "WELL WASN'T THAT EASY!!!" I screamed out.
"Wha what are you doing," naruto asked full of dread
"We need some chasers and also transform so we get a good chase," I said with a grin.
Chunins and jonins came and they saw two people that looked like foreigners.
"INTRUDERS," one of them said. They charged at me with there weapons on hand.
"They found us what are we gonna do," naruto said while the fear in his voice was clear.
And I just rushed at them with chakra flowing through my legs pushing me fast towards them [flashing steel: ball break] while I looked taller through there eyes but in truth I was very short, and so my fist struck his crotch and a very girly yelp could be heard. I continued to do this while waiting for the anbu and moments later my wish came true I then grabbed a transformed naruto and threw him to the window.
"Run," as I jumped after naruto and both of us fell from the tower and jumped roof to roof followed by an army of anbu but it was clear they already know who we were. We were children and the scroll was a transformation but they were mostly chasing me because of what I did to the jonins and chunins.
-Back to the present-
"Why did you do this," naruto said as he dodged a shuriken.
"Why not," I said as I blocked a kunai with a rock and threw the same rock back.
Me and naruto ran and ran until we jumped to a corner of the side roads.
Huff huff "I think we got away," I said while I sat down sweating and my body craving oxygen
"I don't know," naruto said while huffing.
"Yeh you got away," someone said to the right of me.
"Yeh I think we got this," I said clearly not realizing who was next to me.
"Lets go home now naruto,"
"Ohh where is your house," the mysterious voice said and I turned and saw a white mask with red markings.
"Wyajdiehxirbfj" I screamed out in shock and tried to push naruto to run but both of us got grabbed from our collars and he lifted us like baby kittens.
-Hokage's Office-
"Let. Go. Of. Me. Dogman," I said as I moved and wriggled the best I can from who I presume as Kakashi, I mean white hair, dog mask, it's a dead giveaway because who else has white hair in this universe.
"Bro I suggest you stop I mean we are already captured," naruto said as he had already given up from trying to escape.
"Come on naruto where is your fighting spirit. You really gonna let this asshole carry us like this," I said trying to encourage naruto as I am trying to turn and hit him in the nuts, not just for staying in character but also revenge for naruto for not taking care of him.
Naruto just gave up because he already saw the old man smiling in front of us. Hiruzen had already stopped what he was doing and smiled at what was occurring in his office.
"Welcome young one's," hiruzen said and I stopped struggling.
"Uhm…. Hello…. Lord third," I said as the nervousness, dripped out from my every word.
"You may leave," he said to the anbu and we were dropped and he left in a puff of smoke.
And me and naruto we're dropped on our asses.
"Fuckin anbu," I said as me and naruto rubbed our asses from the pain.
"So 20 chunins and 8 jonins were taken down by you and it took 5 anbu and 30 jonins were needed to capture you," hiruzen said as he looked at a piece of paper in front of him.
"Most of them reported to have been struck in the crotch and at least 3 to 6 of them said they were kicked in the head," hiruzen said while eying both of us.
After some lectures from Hiruzen himself, we were kicked out of the room with a light scolding because there were no "permanent", heavy on the quotes by the way damage to the people.
"Well with that all said and done, let's go," I said to naruto as I walked to the direction of our training ground.
"Yeh…." Naruto replied with a hint of exhaustion in his breath and it wasn't out of fatigue because naruto had an abundance of stamina, it was out of something else.
I looked at naruto and saw him a little sad. With that, something finally struck me in the head naruto is still a child and unlike what we usually see from the screen, in there they showed him grow by himself but the problem is this isn't a show but real life now, and I had not noticed it because I was too preoccupied from seeing it because of everything I wanted to do, all I knew was I need to get strong and get everyone stronger gain knowledge and bend the world to my will, so I never thought about how I would affect naruto. In the show, they showed us in the scene with Jiraiya he wanted to play catch with him clearly a sign of loneliness and a longing to belong, yes I have been there for him but I been just there doing nothing I stood and watched but never interacted with him I was like a nanny always watching and making sure he had the bare necessities and kept my distance, it clearly showed from my actions I was only training them what they knew and I would go far away to train my self I became like one of those loner anime emo boys unknowingly.
"Wanna play catch naruto," I asked the blond after realizing my assholeness.
Naruto continued to walk not having processed the words I had just spoken to him and after a few minutes, he stopped abruptly as if he just slammed into a brick wall.
"Really," naruto looked at me with hope in his eyes.
"Yes. We can skip training for today given that's all we do on our free time anyways," naruto beamed at me and jumped to my back.
"Yay. Let's go niichan," naruto said while I grabbed his legs giving him a piggyback ride.
"Ok now. Hold on tight naruto," I said as I then charged forward with all my strength leaving dust in my trail and the wind flowing through our hair.
"Hmm. He is a good influence on him," Hiruzen said from his tower and returned to his papers shortly after.
-At the park-
"Alright naruto catch," I said as I threw a rubber ball at naruto.
"I got it. I got it," Naruto said as he moved from left to right trying to catch the ball.
"I got it," naruto screamed out as he caught the ball and passed it to me.
If you're wondering how we got this ball lets go back a bit.
-A few minutes ago-
"Weeeeee," naruto said as I ran as fast as I could
"Hold on naruto," I said to naruto as he raised both his hands to catch the wind as I ran fast enough to look like a blur to the civilians of konoha.
On my speedy dash towards one of the park in konoha my training really came in handy as on my way I saw a store that sold those toy balls with colored dots. With a small shift of my weight I passed by and grabbed a red ball with bright orange dots around it while of course making a mess of the store with my speed but leaving a hundred yen on the table.
-Present-
"Go long naruto," I said and he ran as far as he could from me and I threw the ball as hard as I can.
"Yeh not again," naruto said as I tried to throw it far, to far from the playground but unlike before naruto jumped on top of a tree and leaped up and caught the ball.
"I got it this time," he said but did not notice the hight he was on and as soon as he realized he started to fall almost like a cartoon character.
"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" naruto screamed out while falling.
As he was about to hit the ground I caught him mid air and landed on the roof of one of the houses.
"Thank you oniisan," naruto said while I hold him from the back of his hoodie.
"That was a close one naruto. Next time you should be aware of your surroundings," I said while I put him down next to me.
"Ok," he replied.
"Well let's stop playing catch for now and let's play different games," and after that me and naruto played various games in the park for example we played around the swing, slide, monkey bars, and played tag but it was more like sparing because I just parried most of his tries.
-Hours later-
I started walking home as I have naruto on my back sleeping and snoring while drooling over my shoulder
"Tired yourself out now didn't you," I said to a sleeping naruto.
'Well sleep up for now because the future holds a lot so best rest up and grow since its all or nothing in the future,' I thought after remembering everything of what I could in the show of naruto.
Well I stopped that line of thought and just continued to walk home with naruto, both of us got there as soon as the sun had fully set. As soon as we got home I placed naruto on the bed and did my usual routine and checked on the seal I implanted on him and seeing it was forming properly and nothing bad or abnormal has happened I just turned him over laying back down and suited myself up prepared to do my usual antics at night but before that.
I would spend some time on my writing skills so I could keep them sharp and pristine, aside from that I would continue on my medical research and recheck all of my items and skills making sure none of them got rusty and checking my horde of items most of them being stolen but some of them I bought while being in a transformation, after spending some hours in that I would prepare food to cook for tomorrow.
After my preparations I set out to my usual antics this, nightly activity usually made me nervous because of my fear of the anbu and being enteregated from head to toe about my being and checking if I was a spy and with danzo still being alive I would for sure be executed because aside from me living in konoha I have almost zero influence in here and unlike naruto I don't have a tailed beast making me a military asset and huruzen the god of shinobi on my ass so all in all i have no one to back me up.
Well aside from that I'm pretty sure they don't actually care anymore because I've done this multiple times and I haven't been stopped yet so I'm pushing my luck I guess. I have done this so many times it's almost become routine changing in to dark clothing apply genjutsu on the exterior and make sure no one would recognize me if I would ever be caught in the middle of my actions, jumping outside of the house in the cover of the night.
Well this was usually just to fuck with the people who angered me or pushed naruto around but this is now become a way for me to either steal items examples are, one of my books the ones I stole from the library though I had planned to return it but with my increasing need for medical research to create my medicine and how chakra is applied to it, one my favorites are the chakra scalpel and the different ways to apply it.
One of the applications were what we saw kabuto use and most of the medical ninjas it was mostly used for safely severing tendons and cutting veins mostly used in surgery because of the amount of concentration needed to maintain it and can also be used in combat but less effective because of the need to concentrate in combat and chakra manipulation needed to maintain it, There is also the combat version of it shown by neji on the fight with the spider dude and when Tsunade cut naruto's clothing to heal him, but this also has a weakness because it's mostly performed in the tips of the fingers and if possible different parts where the tenketsu point are at, well aside from the heavy concentration needed to keep the finger scalpels than the palm version you will need to be more precise with one but it's effective.
Moving on this time I'm going to the library to steal a proper book for sealing because aside from my quick steals on them and just copying what I see with them and practice writing with normal ink and paper and now that I have already dabbled in the item sealing department now I need to jump down the rabbit hole further.
Entering the library for only God knows, there were no changes from last time so no problem for me but kind of makes me feel uneasy because of the way it maintains its usualness but I didn't let that bother me and just browsed my way around the library taking 5 books such as, sealing for dummies, basics of sealing, seal guide 1 – 3, also one thing in common with all of them is that they are either made by an Uzumaki or made by Jiraiya or Minato and sometimes both of them but these 5 piqued my interest.
Stealing things almost became second nature to me and I don't feel guilty in the slightest because to me I'm doing this as small revenge or pranks depends on the persons perspective really. Nothing really gets under my skin now well at least guilt but I can't stop feeling creeped out by the eyes on me, the anbus that think there sneaky hiding on slightly hidden spots but somewhat obvious thanks to their white masks, though they are silent and sometimes hard to spot but thanks to living with naruto you kind of need an eye for details if you don't want to get caught in one of his traps, well that aside it's time to move.
Stuffing the books inside my satchel(sling bag) which I had written a seal inside to make things convenient for me and so that people don't question where I pulled something out. I leaped out of the library and dashed to one of the shinobi markets and looked for the asshole that sent glares at naruto and just sneakily entered the store, though these stores have more security they are nothing compared to the amount that naruto made in the house, even I'm amazed that none of them actually conflicts with one another, after carefully walking around I entered the back where they mostly keep items in stock and scanned the area. I would steal from everyone if I was a monster but even I know they need to make a living and no matter how much of an asshole they are they still need to feed themself if I want them to see naruto on top and becoming hokage.
Leaving the store because there supplies were down so I decided to move to the next store and check there storage to see if I can steal enough without ruining there way of life. After checking 3 other stores I had decided to take from all of them only those where they had an abundance of and where they won't miss the materials. Taking 8 empty chakra scrolls 4 chakra inks 1 chakra brush(just in case) 2 whetstones and a bundle of shuriken and kunai (12) after that I had left to the sketchier area of Konoha and did my usual rounds to either find the black market or somewhere I can make profit from. I know there were those fighting pools I could easily gain fighting experience and money but I could easily lose my life if I were to face a desperate jonin because despite me training and experience it's clear that I am no match for them, still keep in mind I'm only a 6 and a half years old my chances of entering are not nothing but I will probably be seen as a joke.
Roaming around this district always had its pros and cons, one is it makes me think and one is the sight of everything, it was clear that the show was a censored version of this world, because everywhere I see it either has some prostitute or more often than not a rotting corpse on the alleyways and they are always either fresh or on rare occasions rotting but they would always disappear the next day, but there is one bright side and that is that there are no children who are on the side begging but that also made me think they are either sent to the orphanage or are being groomed to become a living weapon or just cannon fodder for future wars.
After an hour of leaping and examining the area I had returned to my apartment room through my window and saw a sleeping naruto looking from right to left, up and down, I walked inside and scanned the entire house, You may call me paranoid for doing this but it's worth it, I mean we are living in a village that has people who can easily wipe out entire towns in only hours and not to mention the people who can carve out a hole in mountains so it's best to be safe than sorry. After my little scan around there was nothing odd or different aside from the lid of my pressure cooker which I had inspected and tested if there was any poison which there was none and inspecting closer the sink has freshly been used and one of the bowls in the drying rack is slightly wet and inspecting the straps one of them is active, I already know the suspect but decided to ignore it and lessen the fire after steering the broth and headed to sleep.
-next day-
I had woken up early like usual and to my surprise naruto was not to my side at first I was scared because what if he was kidnapped but after hearing the shower from our bathroom running I calmed down and started to prepare my clothing for the day and placed them on a table, then prepared the food like usual.
-after school-
Me and naruto walked to our training ground and met sasuke on the way so we scooped him up and brought him with us basically.
"So is it just us?" sasuke asked.
"Yup," me and naruto answered.
"Why though?" sasuke said
"Well sasuke my boy it's because they are all starting to train in their clan jutsu just like you when your father fugaku thought you the fireball jutsu," I answered
"Alright. But what about you two," sasuke asked
"Well since me and naruto are orphans we have no clan or parents to get training from," I said which got sasuke to look slightly guilty and naruto to have a wave of sadness pass through his eyes.
"Well that probably only applies to me since unlike naruto I had to choose my own last name," I said which got the two to pause and look at me curiously.
"What don't look at me like that," I said.
"Yeh but what do you mean by that," sasuke asked while naruto just stayed silent for the first time and waited for my answer
"Well it's only a theory but naruto may have had a clan, I mean we were born after the third shinobi war so around 2 to 4 years and be around our birth we were attacked by the 9 tails so it's not hard to imagine that naruto maybe from a clan that was dying, and he is the last of his kind currently," I said which got sasuke and naruto to stare wide eyed at me as if I just told them god is not real or something.
"What?" I asked.
"So does this mean he isn't a clanless lo… Person," sasuke said.
"Most likely, and probably from a strong clan at that, because if you think about it naruto has a unique appearance from his whisker marks and his abnormally enormous amount of chakra and his almost endless pool of stamina and a high amount of physical strength despite his age and shows that naruto is either from a strong line of ninja or he is just abnormal which is highly unlikely," I said and got the two to think.
"Well let's skip that for now and start training," I said as I got up and clapped my hands.
"Wait but..," naruto said.
"If it will make you feel better we can look up your last name in the library at a later date, and probably even better we ask the hokage about it since he is so old, he probably has some info for you," I said which got naruto to stop and sasuke is just thinking.
"Alright naruto on the motions," I said.
"Alright," Naruto said which got sasuke out of his daze.
"What-" sasuke was about to talk but just saw naruto holding two balls in his hands and nashi doing handstands with his fingers.
"Aren't you gonna train?"
"This is training sasuke," on which I just received a look.
"We are training on parts we are not that strong at, for me that would be my physical body because I come from a civilian family so my body isn't that well off, unlike you guys. Naruto as I said before has an almost endless pool of stamina and enormous strength along with that a high pool of chakra which he has almost zero control over, so I'm making him train it, and the short term is we are strengthening our weaknesses so it doesn't get used against us,"
"Alright then what should I do?" he asked
"We'll work on your physical body for now because unlike naruto you have proper control over your chakra, and I'm not saying you are weaker far from it actually because with naruto's lack of control over his chakra it actually weakens him, so chakra and jutsu training from your family and physical training from here will develop you nicely," I said to sasuke and with only that he went along with it and decided to train physically along with us.
-1 hour later-
Naruto and Sasuke are both tired on the ground sweating profusely and panting to feed their bodies with air well mostly sasuke because he was doing more physical than naruto, and speaking of naruto he formed a sphere over his left hand but it dispersed due to lack of focus and chakra control and after failing for over 30 minutes he moved on to physical work and joined us on our physical conditioning. Sasuke, on the other hand, tried to keep up with me from the very start and got him to push himself a little too hard and so, in turn, tired him out quicker than he usually does. I am sweating a lot as I am fighting against a lvl 6 restriction seal on my body but with the time and effort I placed on it I needed to push more but after seeing these two tire themself out I decided to take a break.
"Alright now time for a break," I said as I stood up and both of them just groaned in response.
"Well it's free time now since I'm going to do my usual so you boys have fun now and play nice ," I said to both of them but got nothing in response but heavy breathing.
As I was walking away I heard sasuke talk.
"Wait nashi… I just realized…. But where is everyone?" he said between breaths.
"Well if you haven't realized it it's because they are currently being trained by there family to perform their family jutsu, just like you except there's isn't just basic chakra transformation," I said.
"Ok," he said then proceeded to continue laying down on the ground breathing heavily.
Me On the other hand walked away and passed by the blacksmith and saw the geezers working they had returned a couple of months ago from the land of snow where they were contracted to make swords and armor, and that was the reason why they took so long though they are closed for today they still needed to work on the items that shinobi are usually equipped with such as kunai, shurikens, and ninja wires, so I just left and went to do what I usually go when I'm bored and isn't interested in training and harass a ninja clan.
"Hello I'm here to do the usual," I told the Hyuga guard who just sighed and went inside to tell the clan head.
-around a year ago-
"Hello sir I will be spying on your children so that I can learn exercises or something that can help me with my chakra control training," I told a Hyuga guard who just looked at me with a questioning expression and just looked at his partner.
"Hey…. Uhhh," clearly the guard didn't know what to do with me because he couldn't even make a proper reply.
"Well if you were gonna say you can't do that and say something about clan secrets, my reply would be wouldn't most of your children training in the open just be the branch family and if you would train your family secrets in the open I would be shocked. So now if you will excuse me I will just be observing over the wall,"
I know this was a weird approach but better this than making the Hyuga heads think I'm an enemy shinobi here to steal the main branches jutsu, well this isn't much better but it would tell them my intentions and wouldn't come to interrogations I hope.
Well after that fiasco I just sat on top of the wall that shows the Hyuga children training in taijutsu and some adults playing games with some children but it also has an undertone of training these little killing machines. Though I mostly just observed the older children training, not their movements but how they mold their chakra but it's clear that most of them use their eyes as a crutch because none of them are doing chakra control at least from a glance, but I was extremely mistaken as if I focus intensely I can see glimmers of blue streaks coming from there every movement it's not like what I do.
'What I do is mostly coat my selected section in a thin layer of chakra like what the guide book they handed out to us, though it looks similar it's far too different in use because it almost looks like there using there chakra almost like a propulsion device, I mean it's technically not the first time I've seen something like this I mean I've seen the anime and how jugo fights and I practically based my [flashing steel] on it combined with zenitsu's explanation with how he does his thunder clap and flash, but this is fascinating because I have never expected this.' As I am in the middle of me taking notes I hear someone land with sandals to the right of me.
"So you're the child that asked to observe the children," hiashi asked.
"Ahhh….. Yes, I am lord Hyuga,"
"Well, I'll skip to what I want to know. Why have you taken interest in observing my clans training?" he asked while looking at me in speculation.
"Well lord Hyuga if you are going straight for the point I will answer in the same way. I come to mostly get a better understanding of how to control chakra because I had heard your clan is the best at chakra control despite your ninja lineage which I would suspect your clan to have an exceptional amount of chakra but still be capable of using it very efficiently," my words surprised Hiashi because no one would expect a 5 year old to be this intelligent and be humble enough to seek out help or look at others works to improve himself.
"I see but why have you not asked directly," he asked after a second of silence.
"I suppose I could do that but who would be interested in a civilian orphan when they could seek out better talent from clanned children who could fend for them selfs with their training and their family jutsu or blood limit," I replied as if I had told him the weather and continued to note out what I was writing before hiashi came to me.
From my words hiashi could not refute it because it was the reality because most of the clanned children were more likely to survive because of their family training and from the teacher's training they would grow exponentially and it would reflect on their records allowing them to prosper and possibly rank up, so it's practically common knowledge to pick up some clanned children than waste your time in training a ninja who might just die one day in the middle of a mission or if an enemy surprise attacks them, but this one definitely was different from the others because he is already mature enough to recognize his weakness and find a way to strengthen it or cover it and improve himself in the process.
"Well thank you for not outright booting me out of the walls of your compound lord Hyuga but I must leave now because I have some prior objectives that I must do," after that, I bowed to him and left the same way as I had came calmly walking away.
After walking far enough I hope, I instantly held on a tree to puke my guts out because that was scary as hell I mean who in their right minds would just keep calm after hearing wood softly hit tiles and not shit their pants, I mean horror games be dammed but in real life that shits a big no, and worst of all it had to be hiashi the fucking leader of the Hyuga clan which just made my asshole clench harder to the point that if I had coal stuffed up my rectum I'm pretty sure they would be diamonds by now, well I'll just suck it up and walk to old man sato and do some shopping to at least calm my nerves down.
-Hiashi pov-
'What an interesting child well let's hope he survives long enough to bloom,' hiashi thought to himself as he continues to do his usual as a clan head.
-back to the present-
'Well those were good days I learned something that day but after my next couple of visits I picked up less and less from them and it's not like I'm not getting anything it's just that there is nothing different all they do is gentle fist training and meditation with some side of the obvious chakra control exercises, and I'm not doing the Hyuga chakra propulsion thing out of safety reasons and confidence issues,' I thought this to my self while just observing the weakness of the gentle fist and how they could improve it but I don't say this to there faces because I'm pretty sure they would get angry at me and as I noted down from other fanfictions hyugas are prideful and pointing these out may put my life in danger.
'Also I have done this to other clans but most of them just told me to not do this because of clan secrets and the uchihas were specially harsh on me for trying so, and what I got from this is only the hyugas have a branch main family type of dynamic going around. I usually just spend an hour in doing this and seeing some main branch mix in to teach them how to do the gentle fist properly and what not but nothing much changes,'
After my hour had passed I jumped down and walked back toward naruto and sasuke to help them train and to train myself. Walking back to the abandoned training ground I get introduced to a shocking sight.
"You got this naruto," sasuke said while he was on top of naruto.
"It's not easy to do push ups while your on top of me ya know," Naruto replied as he was doing pushups.
"And it's not simple balancing with one hand while you keep moving so this is training for both of us," sasuke replied while he had his hand on naruto's head shakily doing one handed handstand pushups.
"What the hell are both of you doing," I asked which shocked both of them and caused sasuke to slip on naruto's sweat which made him fall headfirst on naruto's head and which naruto in exchange got headbutted by sasuke which got both of them rolling in pain on the ground.
"Hello nashi why are you back," sasuke asked me because Naruto was still rolling on the ground in pain from the headbutt.
"You could have warned us ya know," naruto said to me and I got myself to mentally roll my eyes because his verbal tic has emerged to existence recently annoy the shit out of me.
"Well is it my fault you both lost balance, huh," I said which I just received and hurmph and a quick turn of the head from naruto.
"Didn't you say you had something to do," sasuke said.
"Yes, and now it's over, so I am here," I answered
After chatting for about half an hour, we continued to train all of our physical abilities this time, pushing our bodies to the limit to increase in strength and possibly power, that aside for me I just hope that my chakra will increase as my physical abilities does, so I can catch up to these numbskulls, wishful thinking but I can at least hope.
Hours of hard work of training would pass for me and sasuke, physical and for naruto a fifty fifty on chakra control exercise and physical work outs, but after all of this me and sasuke would part ways as I would carry a sleeping naruto on my back and head home before it fully becomes night.
After arriving home I would do my usual and plant naruto on the bed face first, and check his back to see if something is happening or something has change, and per usual nothing aside from the chakra of naruto and the 9 tales have now somewhat merged, as I see light orange with blue floating bits and pieces around almost like a curse mark.
One thing I noticed is that naruto's chakra is starting to stabilize, unlike before when naruto was drained after an hour of chakra control training, because his time has increased to an hour and a half now and Kurama is messing with naruto's chakra less and less now, and I think it has to do with the chakra chains because when Kurama was sealed in kushina he was more subdued this could also just mean that it's sapping Kurama and less naruto.
After my usual checkup on naruto, I noted down some things one is his chakra is stabilizing.
Second is this might worsen naruto's chakra control because it's coming back to its usual levels.
Third is that Kurama's control or ability to mess with naruto's chakra has extremely lessened.
Fourth is highly unlikely but I feel that naruto will get his 50x chakra used to keep Kurama contained which will make naruto's chakra more manageable because Kurama stops messing with it and it might go full garbage because of the amount of chakra he will receive.
Well that's for future me to worry about because it's time for me to scavenge.
Doing the usual I stole some items but this time I just paid for one special item that I was looking for and that is chakra paper well aside from that I didn't steal much this time. Going back home I instantly fell asleep and crashed down on my bed.
-next day-
I done my usual go to school while ignoring classes in favor of reading my books with shikamaru, and doing the usual sparring fights where I had actually struggled with naruto and sasuke. Naruto because he was nearly unpredictable never telegraphing his strikes and always switching it quicker than you can blink if it becomes too obvious.
Sasuke has become more troublesome because he now observes all my movements like I'm the last of my species, noting down my every move no matter how minuscule and he has built a style purely on the reaction of his enemy.
Though I still won just because of simple facts. For naruto, I only needed to be faster can't use his unpredictability if he can't react but he did eat it like a champion because he literally got up a second later, and if it wasn't for the rules I'm sure Naruto would have outlasted me For sasuke, it was multiple faints because he still focuses on my hands and feet to which I landed a headbutt on him after I missed a reverse roundhouse kick.
Also after school, we went to Sasuke's house where we meet shisui and itachi again and where I challenged shisui again because he always humiliate's me.
"TODAY I WILL CRUSH YOUR BALLS SHISUI!!!!!!!!," I screamed out as I rushed full speed at him.
"Sheesh kid, you that mad after losing to me multiple times," he said as he dodged an uppercut aimed low.
"You know anger would not help your complexion at such a young age nashi-Kun," he said as he dodged a flurry of punches and kicks from the pint sized kid.
"Your not so good looking your self mister calm with those lines on your face," I replied as I sent more kicks and punches his way that he easily dodges.
This fight continued for a while me throwing punches and kicks, and Shisui just dodging and parrying while adding a comment here and there which I would just reply in kind. For a few minutes he would toy with me but close to the end it finally happened.
"Well it's time to end this little nashi," shisui said with a cocky look on his face as he has done this to me multiple times and it pisses me off.
Shisui rushes at me using the move he is famous for the [body flicker] it's a jutsu that propels your body in unreasonable speeds. mostly used for traveling long distances because it launches you 5 meters ahead, (depending on how much chakra you pump into the jutsu) and with practice and effort you can shorten or lengthen it's distance so you can use this in combat but not many people do so because of the extreme tunnel vision it gives to the user, making it hard to use in actual combat but perfect for traveling long distance, You can get over the tunnel vision by specializing in it and training your dynamic vision to over come this problem, but it takes time and effort, but with the sharingan you can bypass the problem with the already enhanced visual prowess it gives.
As shisui uses the body flicker, before he could do so I already performed a technique I positioned myself to a bracing stance and lifted my elbow around the level of my head and performed [re-teakwondo: arang]. Using his speed and the fact that he did not expect this technique, it hit true on his solar plexus stunning him and surprising our audience who was itachi, naruto, and sasuke because of the fact that I was able to actually hit him while he did a body flicker, though it is not without consequence because it numbed out my elbow so hard that I could hardly move it anymore, but I didn't let it stop me.
After I realized I actually hit him I didn't let up and grabbed his elbow and delivered a kick to his liver which got a pained grunt out of him, and after that one kick shisui used the body flicker while I'm still holding on to him, which in turn dragged me along and he body flickered everywhere in the room from floor to ceiling to the walls, he body flickered me everywhere and the moment he stopped I felt my throat burning, and something climbing up to my mouth and seconds later I am puking around the bushes, while my organs felt like they were upside down and my head was about to split like an egg.
-minutes later-
"You asshole. You used the fact that you have trained on the body flicker on me," I said while huffing and glaring at shisui who is just smugly smiling.
"A good ninja uses everything in his arsenal," he said with a smug and punchable face.
"By the way what was that kick you did to me," he asked while rubbing his side.
"Explain because I did just kick you while I was ecstatic because I hit you," I said while trying to move the arm that I elbowed him with.
"Well it felt like my body vibrated or something like that. It was very uncomfortable," he said while he still rubs his side.
"Hmmm, never knew that could be implemented in combat," I said as I got to my satchel and pulled out a note and pen to start writing.
"What do you mean," shisui asked.
"Well that was mostly defensive purposes, to be specific it was a defense to shino's bugs that sucks the chakra out of me when we have sparring matches if you want details go to page 32," I said while handing him a book titled (defenses).
"Alright," he said while scrolling through the notes he saw that most of the content inside the book is different theories of chakra armor derived from the basic school chakra cloak that was meant to boost the abilities of the students.
"What is this. Nashi chan I think this is all a little to theoretical, I mean the lighting cloak is already a thing because of the Raikage but I don't think things like wind cloak could be a thing, because I think it won't be able to block a strike," shisui said questioning my notes.
"Not with that attitude but you do have a point, besides other elements would be hard to use but it won't be impossible because you've already confirmed one," I answered his question.
"Well fire armor would be excessively painful," he said while his face scrunched up thinking about it.
"Just stop looking at them and go to page 32 already," I said to him as I closed up the book I was writing in.
"Fine fine you don't have to be such a meanie about it," he said as he rushed to page 32.
"Huh, this doesn't seem right," he said as he looked at the instructions.
(page 32)
Project stop the bugs from sucking my chakra pool dry
Step 1 create a chakra armor around you. (check) do the basic school chakra cloak but compact it more
Step 2 make it pulse or something to stop the bugs from latching on. (failed) tried vibrating my chakra but it just hurt.
Step 2.1 try to reverse engineer the tree climbing exercise but reverse. (tough but possible) same as the tree climbing exercise put intentionally fail but on other parts of your body.
Step 3? Try to use in in combat with shino. (hard to detect insects) tried to use it but could not know when he would put them on me or not.
Step 3.1 try to do something so that I can detect creepy crawls over your body. (doable) use your heart beet as a solid ground to work upon, let your heart beat and allow a pulse of chakra to flow with it.
Step 4 practice.
Step 5 initiate. (full success) was able to win and stop the bugs, problem it takes to much chakra from my small reserves.
After reading all the steps on how to use my [bug repellent technique] shisui paled and looked at me like I was a ghost.
"Nashi-chan can you perform this kind of jutsu?" he asked almost like he is trying to reassure himself from a dream.
"Well naturally yes, but why do you ask?" I asked as I stopped reviewing my notes and looked at him.
"How are you alive?" a simple question that is straightforward and one that got me off guard.
"Huh?" was my intelligent answer to his question.
"HOW ARE YOU ALIVE!!!!!" he screamed at my face while backing away like I'm a creature directly from his nightmares.
After me trying to explain and shisui screaming and quivering like a child not listening to my explanation, Itachi finally noticed and stopped observing Naruto and Sasuke's sparring and came to us.
"What's going on here? He asked calmly.
"Don't know?" was my reply and I just pointed a thumb at Shisui. After Shisui explained to Itachi he looked at me with a slightly curios eyes.
"What?" I said after I noticed the expression on his eyes, it was a very minute expression, blink and you'll miss it.
"Well you see nashi, using the heart as a drum to exude chakra is equal to suicide, because the heart may be the strongest organ within us it's still very fragile," he answered calmly as he sits down next to a calming shisui.
"Hmmm. Explains how painful it was when I first started," I said silently to myself but not silent enough because Itachi heard it. Well it made sense now that I think about it because from the many books the school has given, us aside from the loyalty brainwash there we're some notes to escape and in rare occasions suicide, mostly to keep vital information from leaking out. In the notes it said to flood your heart with chakra to perform a fast and efficient death.
"What do you mean "when I started"?. He asked me as he heard my muttering, I looked at him for a couple of seconds then relented.
"Well you see I used it before I created [bug repellent] I called it [sonar] its the same as repellent but on a wider and smaller bursts, both of them are executed similarly but function differently while repellent is a jutsu meant to vibrate around my body in different intervals to repel any creepy crawlies around me, sonar uses my heart like a drum to spread chakra to my surroundings, at first it was tiring and chakra intensive to use but after months of fine tuning it and practice I got it to cost as less as possible," I explained it to them with out mentioning that it was a variant from Iruka's own sonar but, I didn't want to use so much chakra for one burst so I made it cost as less as possible while having a radios of 30 meters around me like the hyugas, but it's not perfect because if someone is fast enough they can bypass it and when my heart beat increase with multiple people around me it can start to become confusing.
"Well I'm not risking my life just for a slight bug repellent." Shisui answered.
"Well we can just modify it, it would cost more chakra though," I said as I started writing in the notebook for a variant.
"Can you?" shisui asked as I presented it on his face and replaced some key factors like instead of using the heart he would just need to focus and fine tune the chakra to pulse around him.
"Waw that was fast, thanks nashi-chan" he said as he then just read up and tested it around his palm because he is trying to use it for combat.
"Isn't this similar to the Hyuga clan's gentle fist?" Itachi chimed in after a couple of seconds.
"Well true but we don't have the byakugan and we didn't steal from their clan scrolls so I'm guessing this is ok," I replied as what I said is true and we could just show my notes to those who say otherwise.
"He has a point," shisui said from the corner.
After that me and Itachi just did our usual and had a chat while we supervise and observe naruto and Sasuke's, spar well Itachi mostly because he has the experience and eyes for this.
"naruto I'm going to the blacksmith, so when your done here you head home first or at least be there before midnight," I said while I started to pack my things.
"Alright mom" naruto replied sarcastically after a few seconds of me glaring at him.
"Alright now bye, and shisui I'll be needing that book tomorrow ok," I said while waving behind me.
"Ok see you na-chan," he replied enthusiastically which just got me to sigh and leave.
After leaving the Uchiha house I would always get judging looks from the older Uchiha's who has a 8 foot pole up there asses, and I get to see pint sized Uchiha's cutely trying to copy the adults it's kind of interesting and annoying to see young brats copying stuck up adults, I mean I'm not far from this because I'm like 32 now combining my age here and from my old days but right now I'm only a 6 year old, so I need to play my part and not gather to much attention to my self that I already have, thanks to my tittle in school as the demon among the leaves, most have already seen me take down a number of children around and above my age level, so most of the ninja family knows me already.
Arriving around the forge I saw the usual, Kaijin hammering away at metals, it was the same for old man Garp and Kaido, but I went to where I normally would go and talked to old man Suji for my usual tasks around the forge, I'm practically the unofficial junior they have, I bring them water and orders, I also pile the weapons and orders so it would make it easier for them, and after the afternoon ends and they start to close they begin to teach me how to properly temper steel and the proper way of hammering the metal to form the blade, unlike my Benihime though it was my first blade, and it was good for a beginner it was nowhere good enough for selling because Benihime as more in common to a sharpened block of steel than a sword it would be effective in combat but it would need to much force for any finesse or skill,
They criticized everything about my movements, my posture, the strength I use when hammering, my technique, and most importantly my focus, because in their words you must focus on doing this one thing because as a blacksmith nothing in the world should matter when you strike that red hot steel with the hammer until it's finished.
After hours of practicing in the forge and old men critiquing me on my every movement, I passed by the market while using a quick transformation to change my appearance so they won't overprice me or try to kick me out for quote on quote being around the demon brat, I would just by my usual some fruits and vegetables here and there and going to old man Sato for some prime meat that he sells and a couple pounds of beef jerky to fill up my emergency rations.
When I arrived home It was dark and all you can hear is dripping of water and silent humming of the refrigerator working and if you listen closely a light snoring coming from the bedroom, sighing at the sight of the knife and cutting board used, not cleaned, and are left I quickly cleaned it up and stored my groceries in the fridge for later use.
Going to the bedroom I saw Naruto sprawled on the bed and with the sheets and pillow scattered, clearly they were used properly before Naruto started moving around, I just sighed to my self and pushed him to his side while I planted myself to my usual spot and slept for the day.
