Chapter 17:
Well, it has been a month now, and nothing much has changed, They did however give us normal things to do now, D-rank missions were simple and therapeutic Honestly, I got to sit around and do simple chores I mean I did live alone for a few years plus taking care of Naruto and doing odd jobs around the district, they generally helped with serving food, caretaking of some children that mothers are to busy to keep and take care off, helping fix or find items, you know the general things that they ask and pay for, so the simple chores were good, they did, however, give us odd ones from time to time, mostly eliminations and espionage missions that only lasted for a day or two and weed be back by the end of the week.
And when we get back we fucking train like no ever, I mean I got to train like hell if I want to live longer in this world because mothafucking Naruto was in a war when he was 16 and early 17 so give or take I got 4 years left now, I mean four years is mothafucking long, it gave lee enough time to train and reach the 7th gate, enough time for Sakura to master and surpass Tsunade's skills, Naruto to got stronger despite the half of the three years not being trained by Jiraiya since he was mostly busy with his "research" and his spy network, but they're part of the main cast but I'm technically the main character. . . . Right? Ugh fuck, I forgot this is Naruto, not Nashi, dam I am so fucked, I should have asked for Wolverine level regeneration, and a Rinnegan, or fucking godlike powers, now I'm here pissed and annoyed, I should have thought of those when god asked me, but noooo my dumb ass was dazed and in wonder that I was in Naruto making me forget how fucking dangerous this world is.
But I can't help it since I'm dumb but that only means I can only work like hell and, now I just need to fight, like this guy in my hands whose throat I just slit, I mean yeah it's weird that I got used to killing to quickly but its just part of the job.
"AHHHH!!!!" A man yelled out behind me as he swung his sword down.
"You know it's not a sneak attack if you yell before the attack," I said as I pulled my sword partly out of my sheath to block it with the unsheathed part and then I turned around and stabbed him in the chest, before he could react I then jammed the kunai I had just stabbed in his chest under his jaw through his mouth and into his brain.
"Hey is this the last one!!!!" I yelled out calmly as I saw Sai rip his sword out of a guy's back, and Tsubaki twisting off the head of the final guy.
"That should have been the last," Tsubaki said as she walked towards me and Sai who walked closer.
"Are you checking her out pukes?" Sai said bluntly after seeing me look her up and down, she wore a tight suit that hugged her figure tightly from the neck down, though her shoulders were free along with her thigh.
"You perv," she said as she began to hide her chest and crotch.
"Nah, I'm just thinking we need a bath," I said calmly as I looked at Sai and looked him up and down then I looked down on myself and my hands.
"Why?" Sai asked not knowing since he might have gotten used to being drenched in blood with Danzo's training.
"Well since we are going back to the village, and through the front gate I might add, so either we look clean or get suspicious looks, plus these missions are meant to be hidden so walking in the village covered in blood is basically advertising that we just did high rank missions," I said.
"You have a good point," Sai said.
"But where are we going to bathe? I mean we didn't pass any river's as we went through our path," she added.
"Well there is a river a few meters in the north from here," I said.
"How would you know that?" She said hands on her hips.
"Simple there was a map, I mean we did patrol the area for a day," I said as I pulled out a map and pointed at the water.
Sooner rather than later we dunked our bodies in the water, we didn't want to take a full blown bath, we just needed to clean the blood from our bodies so we didn't need a full bath just enough to take the blood off, and it was shown as the river flowed with blood from where they stood, after that we met up with Hayate and went off legging it to the village, when night time came we set up a bigger flame than usual to warm us up in the middle of the night and dry our clothes since we only had one pair, Getting back to our village we were told that we had the weekend off and we could do what we wanted.
"Yes sir," we all said like usual.
"Anyways if you guys ever want to meet up this weekend I'll be at training ground 7 from 6 am to 3 pm," I said.
"Well aren't you an early bird," Tsubaki said.
"Why there though?" Sai asked.
"Well we usually meet up there even before being a ninja, Honestly it had vegetation running wild so we thought it was abandoned," I said as I walked away, so after that Tsubaki and Sai went off on their own.
After that I did the usual, I went and did some grocery shopping, asked Mr. Sato to do some maintenance on my three part staff, and trained hand to hand combat with Sato jr, it's kind of funny that both have the same name but both have different occupation.
Now reaching my house I placed the groceries in the fridge.
"You know its pretty fucking strange that I'm home alone again," I said out to the empty living room that a month ago was usually occupied with my clones either walking through or sitting around meditating, now we made an underground basement training ground thing with different levels, I wonder if they finished the third floor, though it does make me wonder where the fuck do they drop the materials we mine up, I suggested to sell them to the stonemasons, or a company that uses rocks for building or jewelry, we might even have ores inside there so it might be useful for smiths, sadly we don't know if the rocks oxidize because we don't know what happens inside the pouch since we didn't really add much of the fancy shit on it, I mean its quite literally just a giant bag and we did sacrifice those functions so it has a very high hold capacity.
"Oh well, I'll just gather up the squad and see their improvements," I said as I pulled out a small container that holds 5 boiled eggs after stuffing it I closed the container, I changed my shirt and dropped the old one in a bucket with some cleaning product, after that I walked out of the house and went to where we generally trained, and that is training ground 7, if they're not there then let the manhunt begin, but before that, I need to get my satchel, and the satchel I had bought when I was only 8 years old and the usual length that reaches the floor is no more as right now its hip hight, I got to say this is more comfortable.
Walking out of the house I did the obvious and checked if Naruto was being lazy today, and opening his door I jumped back as a waterfall of liquid lava came down, I then dodged to the side as what looked like plungers were launched fully scooping the thick sauce and landing on the street side, and I hear some screaming I prayed for there soul as it looks like an improved version of our reaper death sauce that brings the feeling of death upon skin contact, but if you thought that was all the moment the sauce finished dropping the floor suddenly sprung to life as it threw the sauce on the floor outwards, if I hadn't anticipated it I would have been covered in it since I was already rolling to the side when I heard something click.
"God dam, and that's only the front door," I said to myself as below the second floor there was a thick fluid flowing down.
"I'm pretty sure no one is stupid enough to test it," I said as I looked at Naruto's hallway, and instantly the moment I focused I saw them, and they were wires, and attached to those wires were trap doors undoubtedly holding powder traps, and my guess is itch, chilly, pepper black and white, and curry, and all I hope is he didn't get tear gas or something equal to it.
I stepped in the door and to the best of my ability I slithered through the gaps in the strings but soon realized my clothes would get caught. "God dam Naruto, this is bad for all parties," I said as I took off my shirt and slithered around reaching the living room I got to see all the traps, on the back window it had the regular boarding up, but unlike the usual, it had a nozzle over the dam thing, and it is connected to a watered down version of our death sauce, it would coat the thick piece of metal and it would spray those who tried to enter through it, and with the powder combo if they force an enter is deadly to, itch, black, and garlic, all powder, next was his bedroom door, I just ignored it and went to his living cabinet and just pushed it.
When the hole was fully open I crawled under feet first and upon exiting to the other side I made sure to pull back the cabinet enough to cover the hole.
"Hmm, very simple," I said as it was very simple, a bed, some sheets, a drawer, a basket half full of dirty clothes, and cups of instant ramen on the table side bed, so over all very spartan.
"Well," I said as I looked at the traps on the window. "Hmmm," I said as I looked outside and jumped making the wall drop a mesh blocking anyone who wished to enter through the bedroom window.
"Well time to head to training ground 7," I said while I flew through the sky, the weights currently aren't a problem for me, I even increased it to 500 though I haven't gotten used to it but I'm able to jump around.
Feeling the weights I used them like some sort of counterweight as I swung them forward while increasing their weights around my risks by focusing my chakra there, as soon as I reached the other roof I then began to shift and adjust my motions and then jumped to the next roof but this time I landed on it.
Now being able to reach the roofs again I ran and jumped this time with little problem aside from the weight, despite my new disadvantages I still got there, and as soon as I arrived on top of a roof that overlooked the training ground I was shocked and pleasantly surprised, because looking down I saw them all, Naruto and Sasuke bantering, Shikamaru and Choji playing shogi Shikamaru clearly winning while Choji just enjoyed the moment, Kiba playing with Akamaru, Shino, and Hinata sitting on the side, and most surprising addition of all was Ino and Sakura, Sakura since I thought she wouldn't want to stay and the same was for Ino, , , until I realized Sasuke.
Looking at them for a little bit longer and noticing that no one trained, snorting I jumped down and walked towards them activating my ability and silencing my footsteps, I silently walked around them, I squatted only a few feet from Sakura and Ino, Kiba and Akamaru, though Akamaru did look around for a bit and Kiba's nose did point him to my direction but since I was on top of a tree he didn't find me, Choji was oblivious, Shikamaru instantly noticed me but said nothing, Hinata was a no brainer since byakugan and 360 view, and Shino found me via bugs, Naruto couldn't find me but he did get super tense and he raised his guard up quite a bit, Sasuke noticing Naruto tensing up he activated his sharingan and proceeded to scan the surroundings while Naruto closed his eyes and spread out his conscious.
I did this for a while until it came to a point that everyone gasped as Naruto and Sasuke turned to each other and positioned their backs to each other, Sasuke's eyes scanned the area not leaving any possible opening, Naruto started to overcharge his body with chakra shown when his pupils shrank and sharpened and his body began to emit a light blue mist.
"W-whats going on?" Sakura asked as she got closer to the two, scared of the situation.
"We don't know, but this feeling-," Naruto said.
"It's dangerous-" Sasuke finished.
"Who is it?" Ino asked as Ino, Sakura, Shino, Kiba, and everyone else slowly gathered to the two.
"IT WAS I KONO NASHI DA, HAHAHAHAHA," I said on their blindspot and only being seen because Naruto and Sasuke only saw my hand.
"Whdijrkcor," everyone yelled out gibbered as they got scared and landed on their ass except Shikamaru, Shino, Sasuke, and Naruto, though the ladder two flinched and let out a deep sigh.
"And all of you except Shino, Hinata, and Shikamaru failed, they get light training while all of you are under my boot," I said as I crossed my arms.
"WHAT!!!!" Naruto yelled out. "But we sensed you before you tried it!!" Naruto said while angrily pointing at me.
"Yes, you sensed me, but——,"
"We didn't find him beforehand," Sasuke finished what I said.
"Bingo, plus I've been here for five minutes now, and you only noticed me when I lessened my presence concealment to about 30% so you still failed," I said, and I only did that because the weights were slightly becoming unbearable.
"Fuck!!" Naruto said.
"That's right, now as usual change clothes if you have them, if you wine I will double your work, try to fight me to lessen the training I'll double your work, if you don't want to work then feel free to die in reality," I said as I took off my jacket revealing a white shirt with a gray tiger on the back.
"Wait!!" A female voice sounded out before it was muffled and looking back it looks like Sakura knew what's up as she begged Ino to be silent, and everyone changed except for Hinata, and the other girls.
"Now as usual if you fail to do the training, a set punishment will be applied to you," I said as I pulled out a jar of what looked like to be jam, but its demonic orange color kind of unnerved Ino but to everyone they just shivered, since they all knew that what's inside the jar was something that increased there stamina and pain at the same time, because it was made with medicine that increased the consumer's stamina and the pain from the crazy amount of chilly they used to make it, though it does motivate them, only because it's the best way to get rid of it is to do his training and wash it off.
"Now Shino and friends 10km run, and the rest 15km run, as usual, it's ok to lag behind but resting, collapsing, or anything that stops you from moving instantly double, not reach the end by 5 minutes after the last one passes instant double, now let's go," I said as I ran towards the wall that covers the village.
"Pst, why are we going to the wall?" I heard Ino ask who I'm sensing with my overtrained chakra pulse was Sakura, I mean it made sense since she was next to her but as I thought.
"I don't know, this is the first time I've joined their training," Sakura whispered back but it was useless since my ears were sharp.
After jogging at a brisk pace, well brisk for us and a full sprint for some since the village is like 150km wide, so simply running from where we are to the wall and back would be good, plus With no chakra it and my weights it would be good physical training for me.
While we ran I simply just told when we reached the halfway mark for Hinata and the others to turn back while I and the group continued, Ino and Sakura did start to slow down but unlike Ino, Sakura who seemed to have done it to get a bit of rest, reaching the wall we went back.
"Hey you got five minutes, if you don't reach the training ground I will send a flare to mark the time," I said to Ino and Sakura as we passed them.
.

"Sasuke, Kiba, Shino, Shik-"
"We know so shut up already," Shikamaru cut in.
"Alright, fire away," I said as everyone did the hand signs, soon after They looked up, their hand over their mouth and cheeks puffed up, and a breath sent out a torrent of flames coming from 5 people rising to the sky and exploding.
"You know the shockwave reminds me of the shit that's been happening in the village," I said absentmindedly.
"You mean those shockwaves in the middle of the night?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah, it started ramping up about a month ago," I said.
"I heard it's the cause of the gang fights," Naruto replied.
"Yeah, it must be some gang fights since explosions seem to be the norm,"
"Ya know its pretty dumb that they do that,"
"Don't be like that Naruto, Everyone has got a life that they live, and killing is just part of the job," Shikamaru kicked in.
"He's right you know, even our jobs after these D-rank missions has blood written all over it, so we just need to be prepared and not try to get ourselves killed," I said.
"True," Sasuke said as he did a one handed handstand while waiting for the two girls.
"Welp anyways as we wait, Shikamaru you will be playing shogi while doing a one handed stand up with this?" I said as I pulled out my old 150 kg weights.
"With who?" He asked as he equipped the weights.
"Naruto,"
"Oh come on, why him?" He asked knowing the answer.
"Oh you know why, since with someone like you Naruto is like the rock to your paper," I said with a grin as he and Naruto walked to the shade to play shogi, the funniest part about this is that Shikamaru likes to have control over everything it even represents his chakra since every movement is empowered by chakra, it's like every action he takes uses chakra to make it less of a drag, plus it's super hard to sense him when he doesn't want to be found, because he has enough control over it to the point that he can't be noticed unless you have some way to sense him specifically, and I make him fight Naruto cause Naruto is super unpredictable and fucks up any plan Shikamaru has when he does something unpredictable.
"Now Choji be a dear and start training your chakra control to reach that butterfly form your clan is famous for," I said as I grabbed Kiba.
"After this bag," he said as he pulled out a bag of chips, but before he could open it something nabbed it.
"No, no, no, plus I'll buy you some barbecue at that all you can eat stand," I said as I placed the bag of chips in front of him.
"Really!?!?!?" He yelled out with excitement and stars over his eyes.
"Yes, and I'll get you that limited edition chips that Snow Country sells once a year," I said and to which motivated him enough that fire raged over his eyes as he began to train his chakra with gusto.
"Now Kiba, we will be training your speed," I said as I walked him over to the circle that Sasuke and Naruto were fighting in. "Now, see these circles?" I asked pointing at the small circles.
"Yeah? Are we doing finger or knuckle stands?" He asked looking at how small the circles are.
"Nah, we're going to use them to train your footwork," I said.
"What!? How!?" He asked as he placed his foot in different stances.
"Simple," I said as I stood with the balls of my feet
"Bruh," he said his shoulders slumping down.
"You know, you and a certain red eyed lancer would work well together," and it isn't even a bad thing I mean best boy cu's nickname was quite literally the Hound of Ulster, plus their personalities match, give him red eyes and blue hair boom I would say that Kiba is the son of cu.
"what?" He said confused.
"Never mind just make sure to fight with your beast mimicry thing," I said.
"But how am I going to not step out of the lines?" He asked.
"Good point," I said while contemplating how to actually help him. "You're pretty good fighting in an area full of obstacles or small areas, so I'm kind of doing this so you don't get shafted the moment you fight in an open space, plus its kinda double edge thing since when you fight in a group you can't always make the terrain only suitable to your self, because what if your teammate works well with an open field," I said while rubbing my chin.
"You have a good point,"
"So we have two options, one is to fine tune your fighting style to the point that fighting in a flat area won't diminish your effectiveness, or you'll have to learn a whole new fighting style which will mean more training," I said.
"What are the advantages?" Kiba asked since he noticed my hints.
"Well if we go with refinement, there is the destruction route, which is a route that just finds a way to increase your total destructibility so bigger attacks and eats more stamina, There is the fine tune route, this route will need to basically push your understanding of the technique you are using so a constant disassembly and reassembly of your Arsenal, this has the benefit of making you a master of your style, so you will be a one style pony but with this, you can possibly create your own techniques surrounding it which you can repurpose for certain situations, but that's not really your style," I said while contemplating.
"Hey! I heard that asshole," he said with a grumble. "But if those don't suit me then what?
"Well we could mix and match, but the problem with that is that we need to crush and change your current fighting instincts, and replace it," I said while sitting down.
"What? But don't I already fight like that?" Kiba asked as he sat down crosslegged while patting Akamaru that lay between his legs.
"Well true but you have a pattern and your eyes show where you attack and how, the best example for this is when you try to use your fang over fang, as usual, it's strong but your general speed diminishes as if you were looking for them with your senses before you attack, so what were going to be doing is basically stop those habits you use and increase your spacial awareness," I said.
"But doesn't that mean I've been doing it all the time?" Kiba asked since it's basically the training their family does.
"Yeah true, but you have set skills, and motions in situations, what we are trying to do is for you to fight in pure instinct, where you don't move but your body does, I know it sounds stupid and impossible, but with your family style it would be perfect," I said as I stood up.
"Ok, so what are we going to do?" He asked as he stood up.
"Simple first we make you fight without your eyes," I said as I pulled out a blindfold.
"What what?!?!" Kiba yelled out in surprise.
"Yup, and the best part is it's the first step," I said with a grin.
"Y-your really doing this," Kiba asked with an audible gulp.
"Oh don't be a baby it's just step one," I said.
"That makes it worse," Kiba said as he reluctantly let himself get blindfolded.
.
.
.
"Thousand yen says he will be tortured," Naruto said.
"You think too low of Nashi Naruto," Sasuke said and Sakura just looked at Sasuke and Ino nodded like an idiot since she only knows one training. "He will break him," Sasuke finished and Sakura smiled while Ino gawked at a Nashi walking to them.
"I thought you were training Kiba," Naruto asked and I just pointed a thumb at where Kiba was, and Kiba was getting pelted by a Nashi clone throwing rocks at Kiba like how Goten did when he trained with Gohan, though unlike Goten the speed and power was not equal.
"I see you learned the shadow clone as well," Sasuke said.
"What? Isn't that just a regular thing you learn in the academy," Ino asked while raising an eyebrow in total confusion.
"Nah, that right there isn't whatcha call a regular clone," Naruto said.
"Oh yeah? And what does a dead last like you know?!?!" She said while shaking a fist at Naruto who was sitting on top of a bolder.
Sigh. "You know I said deception is a ninja's best friend but you really pushed it to the max," I said hands on my hips and shaking my head.
"What? Angry I actually still passed while hiding everything?" I said while I began to prepare for round two.
"What is he talking about?" She said while crossing her arms. "A dead last is a dead last," she said sure of herself until a deep sigh could be heard in front of her making her confused since it was Sasuke.
"Naruto please demonstrate," Sasuke said.
"Alright," Naruto said as he stood up and jumped up and using chakra boost to shift positions until he was coming down into the bolder, Upon reaching the bolder another burst of chakra exploded as smoke and dust were lifted while being accompanied by a strong wind, and the surroundings who didn't prepare coughed like a sick
"Well There you have it miss princess," I said with a laugh.
"Bu- bu- bu-" she continued to stutter at how much Naruto had been holding back.
"Remember miss," I said while placing my palm on Ino's shoulder. "A ninja's best friend is deception," I said while I gave her an eye smile.
While passing her by I clapped my hands to get everyone's attention. "Alright everyone, get your ass in gear for round two," I said and everyone started gathering. "Except you Kiba, your ass is doing special training," I said which stopped Kiba and subsequently getting a rock to smash his cheek.
"What is it today?" Shikamaru asked since he hated this the most.
"Oh you already know my smart friend," I said to which lead a group of sighs, while Sasuke and Naruto got to my sides. "Per usual, you may choose your poison," I said with a bow.
"Rough and destructive," I then presented Naruto to my left.
"Swift and untouchable," I then presented Sasuke to my right.
"Now you choose, die through destruction? Or die to a hundred cuts?" I said with a smile.
Everyone stayed silent for a few minutes only letting silent sounds of contemplation out and Kiba frantically dodging rocks, but then. "Is there a third option," a female voice asked and everyone looked at this girl as if they had just made death a certain.
"Wonderful question Miss Princess," I said with a massive grin. "That would be me of course, death through dissection," I said, and after a few seconds of anticipation, as if I was going to add something, after a few seconds everyone sighed.
"What? Did you guys think I would let you pick at straws again?" I asked and I just smiled at their eyes that clearly said monster in them.
"Well now go on, pick your poison," I said as I walked back clearly knowing no one would willingly choose my path of training aside from three people who are very hard headed and determined for something, and with that knowledge I generally don't train with them unless I see them staggering, plus sitting it out lets me analyze them allowing me to see if they did stagnate on something.
And as I had expected nobody choses to train with me, it's a little sad but its to be expected since nobody especially children wants to be told what their weakness is, I have no problem with it since having someone point out a problem of yours is a great way to improve anything, but it still hurts to be told what it is, and no one, and I mean no one, especially prideful children wants there debilitating habits, mistakes, and overall imperfections to be pointed out, i'm not pushing them to be perfect, just so that it isn't the thing that kills them.
Watching them fight was interesting, to say the least, Sasuke has improved since he doesn't go for those only speed tactics, but he could still improve, his strikes are mostly body blow's and joint blow's, I know it's a habit from fighting someone like Naruto, I think I made him to strong in this world, because in the show Naruto was generally a brawler but in this one I made him a tank, though he does still dodge, its kind of interesting to see a Naruto take a hit and fuck with it, I mean Naruto is quite literally the embodiment of what goes around comes around.
Because Naruto has quite literally perfected the shield fighting, because the moment you impact his body with your fist he uses chakra boost to jerk his body there and basically running a jolt of force through your arm, and when you don't expect it it can dislocate a bone or bruise someone easily.
Shikamaru looks like he's using something like wing chun since he isn't the strongest and fighting someone like Naruto generally leaves you no choice but to parry or dodge, so using his strength to lessen the damage he receives is pretty genius but there is one big ass problem with this, and that is the fact that he cant do much damage to him, and by the looks of it his knuckles are red now sooooooo, yeah.
Though Sasuke is currently fighting Hinata, and I got to say Sasuke is currently on the defense, currently all the fighting is only pure fighting style since if we add chakra Naruto and Sasuke would slam, I mean its not like they cant put up a fight, but it's the fact that there Arsenal of combat is higher than them, for example Shikamaru can easily bind Naruto's shadow or even tie him up but that would just exhaust his chakra pool, since despite limiting his movement Naruto can easily blast chakra and disturbing Shikamaru's shadow and putting strain on him, and in that moment of weakness Naruto can just destroy him, though destroyed, if put against someone like Sasuke, or anyone without massive chakra pool he would easily win, I mean he can already beat someone like Kiba, the third when it comes to pure power just behind Choji, so if Shikamaru can stop being lazy and train his shadow's strength he can easily be the strongest one here.
Also if Hinata can use chakra i'm pretty sure the fight would just devolve into byakugan vs sharingan, while both are visual kekkei genkai one predicts and the other see's the weakness, while both increases the owners visual prowess there will only be one victor, and that is who has the better skill, Sasuke has that, but funny thing is, Hinata is a main branch member, , , , did it sink in yet? Because if it hasn't let me explain.
You see Hinata is a main branch member, despite her not being able to throw something like 8 trigrams 64 palms, since by looking at it she cant time her footwork while spinning, but let me tell you a secret, 64 palms doesn't all need to hit, plus even if you can do it but not the chakra points those will still damage the internal organs organs are fucked, look to me its an assassination technique cause just jamming it to one's ear would kill them, now enough of my ranting and get back to why Hinata kicked Sasuke's ass if she could use chakra.
And that's simple, while Sasuke is fast he cant keep up to Hinata's 8 trigrams 16 palms, because if he enters her range thanks to all the practice and training she does with it, her speed doubles in that moment even though Sasuke can dodge, block, and parry all her attacks, he cant stop half of them from hitting him, even though its not his chakra points those strikes still hit him, and with Hinata a proper hyuga those simple strikes are more like hammers hitting directly whats under your skin.
But since its not the case, Shikamaru's stamina ran out, and Hinata's tactics could not last long to Sasuke's battering hammer technique, though I find this strange, since usually Hinata would go with Naruto's side, while Shikamaru tends to to with Sasuke since he is more predictable.
I smiled and jumped down from the rock I was sitting on catching there attention.
"Whats wrong bro?" Naruto asked as he lifted up Shikamaru.
"Nothing much bro, just going on my way now," I said as I walked towards the exit.
"What? No third exercise?" Sasuke asked voicing out everyone expect Ino's confused since he never leaves this early.
"Well after observing I cant help but feel proud of you guys, I mean the usual traps that Shikamaru sets up always stumbles Sasuke, but this time he didn't go for you and went with the giant hammer that are Naruto's strikes, and poor sweet and gentle Hinata didn't go for the slow and overly easy Naruto, and I guess what i'm saying is that i'm so proud that all of you guys found your own weakness without any of my input that I feel like training myself," I said as I reached the exit. "Now I do hope you return tomorrow for more," I said with a gentle bow which sent shivers down everyone's spine since Nashi always ramps things up when times like this came, and before they could ask anything I was gone.
.
.
.
"Anyone know why he is like that," a worried Ino sounded out, and as if that question already had an answer they all looked at Naruto and Sasuke respectively.
And in the mince of silence at looking on the two boys who spent the most time with the little monster a voice could be heard in the background. "Guys, a little help here, his throws are getting faster," Kiba said as rocks began to aim for where he was going to dodge.
"Don't look at us man, we don't even know much about big bro Nashi," Naruto said as he scratched the back of his head.
"Really now?" Ino's eyes squinted smelling a topic for gossip.
"His right you know, even after spending nearly years with, everyone here know's the basics," Sasuke added.
"Then what do you know?" Ino turned to Sasuke.
"For starters, his full name is Nashi Urahara," Sasuke said.
"What is the Urahara clan?" Ino asked jumpy of the thought that there would be a clan full of someone like Nashi.
"Its not a clan," Naruto said catching her attention. "Nashi is an orphan thanks to the 9 tails attack leaving him with no memories of them, so nothing like secrets or a last name, so he choose that name himself," Naruto said shocking Ino.
"Despite that he doesn't really care of much, he holds no resentment and no apparent regret, he is so weird that we thought he was a spy, but after years spent with him we come to realize that he is just weird," Sasuke said.
"He was so weird that even Shikamaru with all his brains thought he was some wise old man, but he knows about a lot of things, we think its all the books he reads," Naruto said, and after that someone groaned, looking around they saw it was Ino.
"Could you two please stop doing this back and forth thing?" She asked/demanded since this thing hurt her brain.
"Success," Naruto said as he and Sasuke clapped hands.
"Alright, rock paper scissors," Naruto asked, while Sasuke rolled his eyes and prepared his hand, after a few rounds Naruto won.
"Alright with that said and done, Naruto said he reads books, while he does read a large amount of books, what perplexes most of us is that his knowledge seems to surpass what he generally has, additional to his knowledge his actions seem far more wiser, to put it to simple words his personality resembles those of an adult, I don't know if you noticed it but when we were still at school, Nashi tends to not listen in class but all his papers have a sufficient score to pass and in the beginning of the practical exams or P.E training he usually wins, but as time went on he slowly began to reach lower," Sasuke was then cut of by a question.
"Wait, so has he been hiding his abilities?" Ino asked.
"Well duh, since he always said that deception is a ninja's best friend," Naruto said with a bad impression of me.
"What?" Ino said surprised.
"He is right, plus he's been drilling us with the knowledge that outside these walls is where people will kill for the littlest of things," Shikamaru said.
"Yeah he did, and those range from chakra beasts, such as the goblins, sabertooth, dire wolfs, and many more," Choji said while thoughts of how they would taste if grilled.
"He told us that unlike the villages, the monsters outside be it human or chakra beasts would not stop when we are tired or weakened, specially those who hold a grudge against us," Hinata said timidly.
"He is right, unlike those here creatures that roam outside will not hold back," Shino said in his usual monotone.
"And as you two can see, Nashi is quite the nasty person," Sasuke said while looking at Sakura and Ino who sat next to each other. "He isn't an evil person just that he does anything to show you something, biggest example for this is breaking an egg that is told to be unbreakable just to fill it with something, but when breaking that egg despite how violent it is, his motion and facial expressions are quite the opposite, its as if he was protecting it while breaking it," Sasuke said confusing Ino.
"Ok, but can you tell me how he got so strong?" Ino asked opening her most curious question since he basically commanded everyone.
"Now that we can answer," Sasuke said.
"He showed you how today," Naruto followed.
"So…. Basic training?" She asked confused.
"Basic? Yes, difficult?, very,"
"But, weren't they all simple?" She said despite using chakra half way.
"Yeah, but one thing he hasn't told you about, are these," Naruto said as he opened his orange jacket revealing his mesh shirt, but the most eye catching to the two was the small vest under it.
"Does everyone have one?" She asked.
And then everyone showed them, Sasuke removed the cloth covering his shins and forearm showing heavy weights, Shikamaru pulled up his shirt to show a weighted vest, Hinata rolled up her sleeves to show arm weights, Shino unbuttoned his jacket to show rubber bands that looks to be formed to flex his muscles if he let up, Choji pulled up his shirt to show a vest.
"Wow," she said aloud due to her surprise. "Does he have something similar?" She asked since she didn't know.
"Everyone here carries about 200 kg, so those with arm or leg weights carry about a person per hand," Shikamaru said. "Can you guess what someone like him has?" Shikamaru asked.
Ino stayed silent for a few seconds than she answered. "About 210 to 250?" She questioned.
"As if, someone like big bro Nashi only doing those," Naruto said out catching Ino's attention. "Big bro Nashi carries about 300 on him, give or take with his weird movements today he possibly increased it just recently," Naruto said while Ino wondered if he wore a vest.
As soon as another question was about to be fired a loud thud could be heard, when everyone looked to the direction they noticed a very swollen Kiba, along with a downed Akamaru as he joined the training mid way.
"Sorry boy, but its training," the clone said as he patted Akamaru's head.
"By the way, the total amount of weights I have today is 500kg, you little rats are going to have to work hard," I said with a grin, seconds later a small explosion of smoke appeared where I was standing which signified its time was up.
[a few meters away]
"Oh dam, those little rats are about to get the training of there lives," I said with a grin as I entered my house to prepare the materials for tomorrow.
Chapter end.
As usual thanks for reading and this novice shit, tell me how to improve, where I messed up? Or something, but as usual have a great day and thanks for giving me your time.
Question of the day: you know what lets go simple with this one.
What s your favorite food?
Mine is a Filipino dish called tortang talong.
Omake:
Questions.
"Do you guys know why I don't receive all your memories?" Nashi abruptly said out as they rested from hammering the walls for the third floor.
"Wait original doesn't get all our memories?" Red asked.
"Well mostly the others, I get about 80% of red and blue's memories," I said.
"Hmmm, I don't know," blue said.
"Well it might be the fact that most of our chakra isn't refined," gray said.
"He has a point?" Brown said.
"You guys have a point, by the way do you guys still get most of your chakra from the red squad?" I asked and everyone stayed silent. "You still get them from the red squad right?" I asked again and like before I was greeted with silence, I soon sighed and rubbed my eyebrows.
"Well to be honest you did say to practice it," one of them said out.
"I said refine it," I said with a sigh. "But still training it would be good, but try to refine it at least," I said reluctantly.
"Well at least we got that out of the way," brown said.
"Well aside from all of you who started training on absorbing ambient chakra in the air, how is all the mission I gave you guys?" I asked as I bit down on a rice ball.
"Well since i'm one of the two that you get 80% of the memories and since its affected by chakra purity I guess i'm good," red said as he ate some sushi.
"Well my clones got the water clones completed, though mixing earth clone and water clone kind of is hard, I know were working on something like a mud clone, which then we can move on to blood clone but its taking to long," gray said.
"Well then have you done some testing on the water clones?" I asked.
"Well yeah, naturally original, we tested it's durability, its over all power, and what it can give, and from our research we found out that unlike the earth clone or the regular clone, water clones are super weak, though they can take a few hits just like the earth clone, but what off sets it from earth clone is the fact that it can hold people, not like grasping them but when someone punches them the water can open around the impact and hold them there, and if given a weapon, , , well lets just say despite its weakness a blade is a blade," gray said.
"Hmmm, ok, anything else?" I asked.
"Well, aside from the generic water clone, we are half way to perfecting the mud clone, its about a mixture of 30% water and 70% earth this has the benefit if having the power and solidity of earth while keeping it flexible and malleable," gray said.
"I see, but by the way you say half way, i'm guessing there are some complications?" I asked.
"True, we are still on the move on some movements, and its creation aren't fully well off? Well lets just say the mixture aren't fully completed, like some area's are more earth than water and some are more water than earth, so mixing is the problem," he said.
"I see, but you do know we are using blood right? And you know, blood is, , , , you know 90% water?" I asked.
And with a sigh gray answered. "And that's why it is halfway complete," he said while rubbing his four head with his pointer and middle finger up and down. "Since we need the principle of earth, but water needs to be the core of this clone, we could simply compress the water while keeping it flexible to mimic bones, using mostly earth clone's principles on blood brought us brittle yet powerful clones, but if we focus the earth clones principles on making the bones while keeping the water slightly compressed we could have something like a human body, stiff yet moldable, and with that we can have something like human stiff but soft," gray said.
"That—" before brown could say but he was cut off.
"Silence you, I know I set myself up, and I was to late," gray said as he grunted while everyone smiled.
"Ok, its good to say we have the theory, it's a step on the right path, but what about you blue?" I asked the one who is focused on jutsu research and chakra control.
"Well aside from helping gray with the jutsu, I got electricity and wind pretty well now," blue said while letting electricity coat his hand while not letting a sound.
"Wait, what the fuck? Did you just perform a chidori?" Red yelled out as he leaned closer to look at his hand.
"What? Original uses something similar with his thunder clap," blue said then dismissed it.
"Yeah its not a surprise, since my thunder clap could easily become deadly by focusing its power to a point," I said.
"Yeah so aside from chakra refinement, I have developed some skills as original has known," he said as he looked at me.
"Yeah, from the sonic scream, divergent fist, assassination fist, vibration, and others, most of my jutsu based arsenal comes from blue, add to that chakra control exercises that he surprisingly makes up himself, I mean who could ever think of combining water walking and tree climbing, its weird since I'm basically walking on a few millimeters of air, and despite its small increase in my hight the concentration sucks since The control needed to get into every nook and cranny of the rocks could easily fuck me over," I said while imagining how many times I had tripped when I first started training with it since my chakra is based on containing. I sometimes stick to the ground when I first started it which lead to a lot of face planting, and on the later stages it got so weird to control that I unconsciously release a chakra burst which lead to a lot of awkward situations, one of them was breaking through a fruit stand, another one was launching myself off my own house, and the final one I could remember was launching myself like a rocket in some girl's underwear.
"Yeah, but no matter how sucky it was, we got a pretty good skill out of it didn't we?" He said and I just sighed while nodding.
We all sat there no sound coming out except the sounds of eating coming from red and brown, and speaking of brown. "How about you brown?" I asked.
"What?" He asked while he still had an apple in his mouth.
"How much improvement you got?" I asked.
"Oh that, you should know, since most of the skills I used you are already using," he said.
"Yeah, but i'm asking if you have improved? Or possibly developed any new skills," I asked
"Oh, nothing much, but I am training on how to use something like excalibur," he said.
"Sooo…. Sword beam?" I asked.
"Yeah, and if I manage to do this we can easily add any chakra affinity to it," he said with a grin.
"Well then, if he does pull that off it can be combine with different chakra elements?" I said while looking at blue.
"Smart as always I see," he said with a smile, "but to answer your question it mostly depends,"he said.
"In what way?" I asked.
"Well if we theoretically master such a volatile technique, adding one element to it would be dubious enough, adding a second one would yield a result similar to Naruto training his rasenshuriken when he first started, but unlike the rasengan which is a contained ball of wildly spinning chakra, this one would be a similar situation, the only difference is the fact that we would be containing an ever expanding energy, while the rasengan spins to keep its shape while simultaneously adding destructive power, ours would be taking advantage of our chakra's natural instinct to contain," he said while waving his fingers around.
"Don't we already do that?" I asked thinking of our kekkei genkai
"I'm assuming your thinking about our kekkei genkai," he said while squinting at me, and I just smiled and scratched my cheek with a smile. "While yes its similar to our kekkei genkai, how we will be using it is super different, unless you want to be the medium of this type of attack," he said.
"What kind of medium?" I asked.
"Don't be stupid you fool, you and Everyone already knows of it, its quite literally the most chakra receptive metal around, matter of fact you have it as the core of that little sword you have," he said and it clicked.
"Oh you mean chakra metal," I said, but after realizing something. "What what?" I asked.
"Yeah, I was wondering if you knew about it," he said.
"The fuck?! How would I know about it!?!?" I asked him while I pulled out benihime from my backpack and looked at the top of the blade, and when I did I saw it, it was a silverish metal inside my blade, it looks like it had been placed there mid forging, its not as if it was placed there when molding but placed there after the blade was finished.
"Jesus christ, did someone play a prank on me? Or is it something like 100th costumer or something," I asked as I sheeted the blade
"We don't know, but its better to keep it since its pretty useful," he said with a grin.
I sighed. "Yeah you right," I did another sigh. "Welp break time is over, lets go back to work," I said as everyone got up and picked up there tools.
