Chapter 15

I have no clue why there are so many parades that pass by this orphanage. No, Seriously. Since getting to this place one form of parade or another has passed by or been in hearing distance.
And looking at one go by the front gate I am not at all sure what to think. Especially, when leading the parade were the twelve weird women that visited Naruto just to rub plants on him. I have no clue what the dancing along the street was about, and I would bet that in the evening there will be a lot of noise as the sun goes down
Sighing, I turn away from fickle strangers and go find Naruto. He will make sense.

When I find Naruto I also find an ANBU looking at him. I don't think I have seen this one before, he doesn't look like 'covers half face', or 'marks under eyes' that I remember for all that he wears a similar mask. Maybe it's the way he is standing. Like he has places he would rather be...
I walk up to him then past and he doesn't register me at all. Maybe he is new? I go to Naruto and his eyes follow, rather lazily. I get my personal sunbeam to stand up, and start walking away. And the Jerk just walks in front of us. Not a cough, not a sound that says that he wants anything, completely ignoring me staring at him, and then he walks in front of us when we go about our day.
This is so not happening.
I look at the man, and start to move around him. And he steps in front of us again. I smile up at the man, then I grab a handful of my stale cookies from my inventory, and throw them at him.
The reaction was comical, they hit in the face then bounce off. Some went toward the wall, and bounced back to hit him where he wasn't facing. Some fell and landed on his foot. Some missed altogether and landed on the floor. Then he tried to dodge. And it was if he had walked on a banana peel in a skit. And slid.
Priceless.
+1 Skill to Vengeance
Huff. It was funny though, right?
Hilarious
And so, the grey-haired newbie learned not to underestimate a kid who isn't even a year old; while we left the building. I wonder how long it will take him to find us. To the garden, we go anyway. Hopefully the green-haired dude from yesterday is done with whatever he was doing, and won't kick us out again.
When we get there, Naruto just curls up in the shadow of a tree to sleep. I wonder why, usually he runs or crawls really around a bit before finding a spot in the shade. Or just curling up. I then make shade so he doesn't get a sunburn because if he does I don't have anything to treat it with, I while dark-brown-hair (who might be a boss of some kind) might care, she also might not. So yeah, I make shade
Except today I go over and poke Naruto's side. Because this is odd behavior and I have no clue why he isn't doing what he normally does. He opens his eyes, squints at me, then grabs my arm and pulls quick. I fall on the ground right next to him, surprised while he just curls up on top of my arm and goes back to sleep.
I blink at him and try to get my arm back. It doesn't work.
The wind blows overhead, the flowers are blooming. It's peaceful. I don't realize as I close my eyes, and soon I sleep.
After the impromptu nap, which was Lovely let me tell you, the blonde beside me was as energetic as ever. And started pulling me towards the woods, with those large eyes of his all sparkling joy at the idea. I lean away from the beaming eyes because really, it looks like someone put glitter in his eyes then shone a light on it.
But still I start walking towards the woods, then I stop. Do I even know how to find that tree again? * Map, and close view or Konoha please. * I am not sure it will work, but so far, the map has been kind, so why not ask?
In front of me pups up the regular map, then the areas except the village seem to move out of the screen as Konoha becomes bigger.
Map of Konoha
Is at the top. * Can you zoom in closer to where I am? *
and it does so. Soon, I see a rough copy of the area around me it has a circle with a series of squares in it for the Orphanage, and the garden is a patch of green near the edge of the outer circle. * Can you mark where the tree that leads to Amon is? *
Only after you create one.
Lovely.
I had started moving forward again because Naruto had been pulling my hand. So, I didn't not the tree we were moving toward. The only thing that kept me from hitting the tree was that I closed the map, and continued to look forward. So, I managed not to hit the tree the giggling blonde had aimed me at.
Twitching, I try to glare at him, he just smiles back. Obviously, I need a higher skill in Glare.
Still glaring at him, I step around the tree and continue forward. they only reason I don't try anything else is because how rarely he giggles.
Naruto is a surprisingly quiet kid. Since fake-face caused him pain whenever he cried, he stopped crying as often, sure I tried to get people to help, or just Notice, but he very rarely cries. And he also rarely has stuff to laugh about. I am... not the most amusing person... to have around all day every day. And with me sometimes just messing with the menus, I am not the most interactive person either. Coupled with the sever Lack of other people trying to regularly interact without trying to kill him it does not make for a very happy child. Sure, I sometimes do things that he finds funny, like almost walk into a tree, but when you are in a room without windows it is hard to walk into trees. So, I try to let him laugh when possible.
And that means I let him get away with it. Besides, he has a nice laugh.
So, with a blonde child giggling, and me being wary for extra trees, we go into the woods in search of a tree.

Not that tree. Not that tree. Not that tree either.
Oy vey, just how in the world did we find that one tree last time. I mean really, Naruto and I have been wandering for a while now and still no stinking tree. Fe.
Going forward, knowing it was likely to overlook the goal, was annoying but There. This tree and mound look about right. Going around we find it has a large hole, but there's noises coming from it.
And of course, Naruto, seeing a large hole under a tree, goes diving right in. Flibbertigibbet. Now I have to follow behind him. And moving with speed is still not my best skill, at all. As I go past I pick up some rocks hopefully they come in handy, since I doubt that cookies would do much, then I try to speed up to make up for lost time. Going forward, and I stop. There's a bear. A large bear, which is standing in front of cub. Great, a large, mother bear. Which is sniffing Naruto. Who is acting like nothing is wrong and is sniffing her right back.
'Observe'
Mother Bear
Lv10
A Large bear, that when she thinks her cub is threatened will become Enraged.
Usually thinks any creature near the size of her cub is a threat to it.
Lovely, we are just about the size of her cub. Let's hope that we don't register as a threat anyway. Then the bear smells something she doesn't like on Naruto's stomach and starts growling. I start trying to get the blonde's attention. It doesn't work. I have to move forward. And my foot just hit a rock and sent it rolling. Its clatter is loud in the small space.
At least the bear stopped growling at Naruto?
Now the Mother Bear has turned to face me and it seems larger than before. "Cook-key?" I offer while holding out one. It probably smelt how stale the thing in my hand was because it roared at me. Well, the offer got my hand close enough to Naruto to grab and start pulling him out. With speed as the bear is starting to get up.

Escape has leveled 3 times
Update: Escape now has a chakra cost of 5 CHAK per meter when activated.
-Sniffle- I move sharply at the noise but it's just the blonde. Who now looks like part of the world died "fuwwy?" If he didn't have tears in his eyes it would have been adorable. I sigh, and go to hug him. He flinches and I stop. Blinking at him, after stopping mid-action, I slowly move one arm. He seems fine with that so that is what I use. "Shshshshsh" I hush. Like Red-hair did so long ago. It works so much better on him than it did to me. "Shshshshshsh" I repeat hoping the constant sound helps.
What to do? What... to... do... maybe get him something else to think about. That should work for a bit.
And so, with one arm still around his shoulders I nudge him forward after a quick check on the map. We weren't too far from the Orphanage. We could look for Amon another day. Besides it was getting cold out here anyway.
"Where were you?" I blink at the man. Green-haired-person was apparently miffed that we went into the woods without his say so. I don't understand this. One day he is practically shooing us into them the next he seems infuriated at the mere thought.
People make no sense.
"ANSWER ME," the dud yells in our face. I still blink at him. It's not like I know enough to tell him. I think he might be high-strung like the other workers that can't decide what they want. "Dude, calm down," the person standing in the doorway said. He was a rather nondescript. "What at you doing here?" the dud seems to dislike this one for some reason. "I was attracted by the sheer volume coming from a room with 3 people in it. Two of which can barely speak." Ooh, burn. Green-haired what is your response. "Yes, you always were attracted to trouble. I have everything in hand so you can leave."
… That did not have the same impact, Green-hair loses this round but opens the next salvo anyway. Nondescript's response of, "Yes, everything under control with you yelling at a baby barely nine months old. You would think you would pay more attention to the distressed blonde one that the kid that is perfectly calm with you yelling in her face." Wait, what? I turn to Naruto and, oh, the face he is making at Green-hair. I move toward him and give a slow one arm hug. Then I use the other hand to start brushing away tears, "Shshshshshshshsh." Then I glare at Green-hair. Despicable, really making a kid cry like that. "Wow, she just did your job for you, maybe you can be reassigned like you wanted. Just tell people you were replaced."
…Ok, maybe I can understand how Nondescript can be disliked. His sense of timing is great for comebacks, not so great at not getting everyone in the vicinity angry.
"Shut up, I know she is able to understand me. I need to know where they went else I will be fined for not keeping track of the brats." ...So, he wants me to do his job for him? Not happening. I turn, with Naruto still under my arm, and walk out. If he didn't want to deal with consequence of not knowing where we were he should have paid attention. This should help him learn.
Besides, if he did his job instead, there would have been no bear incident.
While walking Naruto back to our, and paying more attention to the young blonde that what is in front of me, I bump into something. Looking forward I see a pair of legs with shin guards on them. My eyes strayed upwards, and eventually I saw that the person that I had bumped into was the grey haired ANBU from earlier.
I think my brain stalled, no clue why.
He looked down at us then reached down picked up my friend by the scruff of the shirt, like some misbehaving kitten, turned and walked away. Leaving me there gaping. Realizing that I had been staring while my friend was taken away I start after them at a good approximation of a run. Catching up to the two, I grab the guy's leg and hold on even as he continued to walk like I wasn't attached. He didn't even glance down at me. This guy, I think he may have issues. He walked back to the room Naruto and I shared, then set the blonde in his crib. Then he looked at me. I got the hint and let go of his leg as he walked out.
…I don't think it would be a good idea to leave just yet. But what to do?
You haven't added any perks to the new tree yet

* Why are there the extra subjects beneath each subject? *
Because it is still possible to learn the Language portion without using Allocation Points
And for you to find out what is taught when you Do use one
Ok, I can understand that. Hm, what do I want here? *Can I have one point in Music and one point to Speech in Land of Fire? *
Sure.
So now that is done, * you mentioned messing with 'perk points'? *
Yes, Perk Points are used to change or upgrade Perks. Each Perk has a specific cost
So the upgrade cost of "For want of a Nail" would be different than "What is a Rose by any other Name"
* Those are actual perks? *
I got Bored.
* What do they do? *
Buy the perk and find out.
... I am not sure what to say. * Can I purchase extra perks instead of just changing them? *
You could but it would cost an extra Perk Point each, and they are limited
It is also possible that you bought a skill you would have later gotten naturally
I blink at the words. * Can you bring up my current Perks, please? *

* That is a lot. *
And these are just the ones that are available right now
Looking at the list I am somewhat taken aback. I mean, Appleseed, By the Log, Vegetables? These are seriously some of the perks?
Congratulations you have just bought three perks at a discount for buying three at once. You are now at 4 PP
You have bought Appleseed, By the log, and Vegetables.
My eye is twitching. * I was not thinking at you that time. *
Then think quieter
The things I want to say. *Do I get to find out what the perks I have bout do? *
Sure
By the Log Lv1
every 2 minutes a log of variable size spawn in your INV.
Appleseed
Whenever you walk on ground a tree will spawn in your steps every two minutes
if you are not on the ground it will appear, potted, on nearest flat surface
Vegetables Lv1
Every two minutes a random vegetable will spawn in INV.
That is not exactly helpful, and what is with the Appleseed skill it will give me away wherever I go? Just what will I do with that?
As long as you don't walk barefoot or crawl on your bare hands or knees you will be fine.
It needs contact with the ground not your clothing.
Besides you can always change it
* That doesn't exactly help and wouldn't I have to buy the change? *
Yes, but if you are that averse to them it is within your ability to change them.
I am tempted to. Man, am I tempted. But I decide to wait, maybe it will be useful, and I really need to keep points for when I know exactly what I have. Who knows maybe it will help me get rid of the effects of my allergy.
Sighing because I have to keep this. Well, at least I won't have to buy vegetables everyday if I level that.
-Pop- turning toward the noise and I stop. Blinking, I see, a plant that about two feet high in a cube shaped container that looked around three feet. I look at it. Probably closer to staring, but who cares. Then I look at the parts of the plant considering it doesn't really look like a tree. Maybe it cares less about actual trees and more upright plants?
Anyway, looking at the plant I notice its leaves have three points. That brings a sense of something but I don't really remember what it is. I reached out to feel the leaves
Poison Immunity Has Gained a 50% to next level
And jerk my hand away. Great, Anakin was trying to poison me now.
-Pop- I turn and see another tree Just like the one that would have poisoned me.
I think it might be a good idea to go outside for a bit. Moving toward the door, I go through it before checking. Lucky for me I did not walk into the ANBU this time. Barely missed him but all good. He looks at me. I look at him, and then I point at the plants that popped out from thin air. Then left the grey-haired shadow to stare at the plants that hadn't been there when he had left us in the room.
It might be a good idea to try and find that tree while Naruto is asleep. Even if it is chilly outside right now.
Okay, not my best thought out plan. Actually, it might be right up there with the bunny incident.
And the world changed around me.
Why must you use my thoughts against me.
Tutorial Quest
Goals: find the tree and mark on map
Failure: found by the Mother Rabbit
Update: it is slightly right of the direction you are facing
I stand there, staring. Because, really, spent the entire day looking for the tree, and then this pops up nice as you please? *Anakin, what are you playing at? *
-thump- -thump- THump- THUmp-
You may want to run
-THUMP- -THUMP-
I run. And if you ever get the chance to run in the woods while its dark, turn it down. The tripping is not fun.
-THUMP- -THUMP-
You know what, 'Sneak.' And I feel something, not sure what though. Then a bar shows up in the corner of my eye. The color in the bar changed from part to part, going red blue, brown, and then back.
-10 CHAK
100 Chakra
And a giant white blur past in front of me.
-THUMP- -THUMP- -THUMP- -THUMP- -THUmp-
I am very glad of the sneak skill now. And that Anakin didn't pull this while Naruto was with me.
The problem with things that automatically take the chakra needed for them to work, is that they automatically take what they need to work. I am at 20 Chakra because I didn't notice that 'Sneak' was still in effect until I looked at the bar and saw it was half empty. I am so glad that "Cancel Sneak" worked and that I don't need to just Use the skill if I want to be stealthy.
Sure, just using the thing for so long got me a level but it is just easier to watch how I step, and where I step then to potentially drain my CHAK bar all the way down. I very much don't want to find out what would happen. Even with the 'Automatic Upkeep'
It turns out that there are other rabbits here to. So, I am not able to just walk around regularly while following the hints Anakin gives and just hide when I start hearing 'Thumps'. Nooo, that would be easy. This dungeon forest instead is practically filled with the child rabbits that mostly travel in groups of three. Thankfully, there are a few that travel by themselves.
Not fun. At all.
Though, I am so glad that I went to such lengths to find that cookie even if I never did actually 'find the cookie'. Who knew that I would be able to use them to foil civil rights violations, get back at lazy ANBU, distract bears, and be able to use them against dungeon beasts? Seriously, these have been so useful. And because of that one messed up throw that hit one in the ear I learn that they have certain weak spots that automatically do more damage without being 'critical.'
So here I am, running toward a tree while following directions like "go more right," hitting kits, and hiding from a giant rabbit that would probably try to eat me. Anakin really needs to learn how to give directions.
Go More Left
So, I turn slightly and -Bang-...
*Anakin, did you say that with intent for me to run into a tree. *
-15 Health
None whatsoever
Uh-huh. Well, after I get my bearings and back up, I start moving forward again
Turn around
I do so trying to figure out what is-
Oh. Well, I found the tree. Now what am I supposed to do?
Open map
I do so.
Zoom in
Again, I do so.
Say "show me where I am."
"sow my ere a am," I need to work on using my words.
Close enough. Now have it mark and save your place
Blinking at the words then at the map. Maybe... I touch my finger to the map, and think mark. Then I take my finger away. There, where my finger had been, was a tiny square. 'Save,' I think at the map again.
What do you want to save as?
'Amon'
Saved
You have completed "Find the Cookie"
Reward: 10 EXP, 2 Levels in random skill used while completing quest, and one skill book.
*Why in the world is this called 'Find the cookie' *
You were looking for something you had already been to and liked.
I don't like Anakin's humor.
-Thump- -Thump-
What in the world?
You are still in the dungeon.
But I thought that the dungeon went away with the quest?
Nope.
Only for dungeons created by quests.
For quests that take place in dungeons you must leave on your own.
But I was here earlier with Naruto and nothing happened! -THUMP- -THUMP-
Since you do Lack the ability to take others with you and Naruto is young you did not enter the dungeon.
I start running into the tunnel. Delayed, sure, but I needed to make sure that it wasn't a joke sound created by Anakin.
And in time to because Mother Rabbit just hit the lip of the tunnel, and I am so lucky that it can't get through. Wondering something I turn and try to observe it.
Try being the main words
Mother Rabbit
?
And that tells me all I need to know. I start moving with speed through the tunnel again. And then the world bleeds to normal. Looking at where the Mother Rabbit had been I see that it had been clawing at where it had been caught. If it had a second more my pausing to look at it would not have been so nice.
And so, I learned 'You don't stop to look at things as you get away.'
Chapter 17

Walking down tunnels, even natural ones, especially natural ones, without light means you trip. After the 3rd time I landed on my face I seriously consider turning around but seeing as that would need me going through the woods, after dark, after I know that it will randomly turn into a dungeon, not something I really want to do. The tunnel was much easier than dealing with the forest, ~pop, stare~ especially with trees popping up … every few... minutes.
Realizing that if I don't go back and pick up the trees, or at least move them, then there will be a trail right to this place I turn around. Stepping forward (backward?) I go back to the tree that just came up. Reaching forward, not paying attention to my feet, I hear a skittering as my foot slides left, and with me reaching forward... well, I become re-acquainted with the ground. Again. For the fourth, bloody, time. Laying there I wonder how did I go the entire time here jumping, hiding, battling, running, and now, suddenly, I am a klutz?
Wonders of Adrenaline
Also, since you have Finally started using your chakra for stuff We, meaning I, have Kindly made a tree for you to use
Until your CHAKRA control is max all CHARKA based skill uses will need 1.5 times more to work right... Unless you meant the basic control needed of course.
Why now -
Because if we did it early it would have gotten you killed.
And you had to use it for anyone to add anything to apply to it.
I stare at the words, not sure if I was glaring or not.
This was not what I needed right now.
Picking up the trees was special. It's dark, half the time I am tripping on roots, rocks, sticks or bushes and another forth I am falling from the stuff under my feet sliding away, or being a slug that squished and lacked substance. I think I have twigs sticking out of my hair and more dirt and leaves than a small bush.
Very annoying.
Anyway, when I wasn't falling over everything and its slug, I was hitting trees and I don't mean me punching them.

I am just glad that with how often I was stuck in one place hiding or waiting for a critical strike throw meant that a lot of the potted trees were close together.
+15% to next resist poison Level
Of course, when you are falling, and trying to grab things to hold you up that isn't the greatest thing either. And I couldn't glare at the 'tree' either because when I touch them they go to my inventory so quickly.
I don't even know how close I am to getting out of here. I am at...I think the 40th... potted tree.
I am finding a way to deal with this bloody perk, having to double check my walking doesn't leave anything behind me is almost as annoying as trying to find the ones that I started back to get. Never mind that the trees are mildly poisonous.
-Oomph. -
Poison resistance has risen to Level 2
I pull my face of the spawned tree that I had tripped into. Glaring at the spot that I HAD been standing, I put the tree in my inventory and look for the next.
I really hope I can get to the orphanage soon.
