'I guess the news must have spread quickly' I think while walking to the academy I notice a few people nodding their heads and some even bowing in respect! I guess it makes sense though, I am technically a clan head now. Arriving at the academy I notice Naruko already walking into the classroom 'When did she get here first?'
I follow her and Iruka tells me a short version of all that I missed while I was gone, also saying to meet him after class for the papers I need to do to catch up.
I sigh and sit down on my seat. While Iruka explains how Konoha won against Iwagakure in the third war, I get an Idea.
'I could easily train my Hemomancy while in school, couldn't I?' I proceed to summon a few pellets of blood in my palm while it is under the table. Then I start to manipulate it's shape, temperature and density.
Hemomancy leveled up!
'I guess my Hemomancy will be a lot better than I thought.'
Iruka finishes up his lessons for the day and I go home. You would think I would train until at least 8 PM, which is my normal training time, but I want to make a training plan to evenly spread my progress while having it open enough for things to be added. Unlocking my door and heading in I take out a piece of paper to make a training schedule.
I noticed that my perfect adaptability trait is making muscle growth, muscle memory ant training in anything physical much easier. So I'm going to wake up at 5 AM, have my morning workout which I will increase with gravity seals when I get them, at the academy I will train my Hemomancy control and then, until 8 PM I will train SOMETHING, my new taijutsu style the bloody brawler and one other thing that I will switch each day of the week. From Ninjutsu, of which I have none currently, to Shurikenjutsu. I will keep this up until we have to learn the three academy ninjutsu, then I will incorporate those into this plan.
After writing a comprehensible training plan on the piece of paper I think about my system. 'How easy is it to gain skills?' to test that I grab my last piece of paper I have and start drawing a map. After finishing half of Konoha I hear the voice of my system.

That is a lot of skills and just from drawing a map. I was always going to have an hour after training before I go to bed, I'll start to draw and write things I guess. It will also help a lot if my calligraphy is high when I start fuinjutsu. I'll head to bed now though, I'll test more with my system later.
"Nah bro, the Pokémon would win. Even 2 billion lions would lose!" I tell my friend Simon. I've known him since starting 5th grade and we've kicked it off instantly after we started talking back then. He got me through some tough times but sometimes we get into pretty heated arguments because of stupid shit.
"It's 1 BILLION lions, do you know how BIG that is?" He retorts, waving his arms around franticly.
I look at him with a contemplating expression. "Are we going off of pokédex entries or the in-game moves?" I ask, wanting a conclusion to our argument which started an hour ago.
"It doesn't matter! Lions would win, one billion would win through sheer numbers." He exclaims, confident in his victory.
I smirk and start to chuckle evilly. "You've activated my trap card" I mutter, relishing my moment of victory.
"Bro what?"
"In that case, I only need ONE Pokémon!" I almost scream. Simon plays along with the bit and steps back, looking scared.
"N-no way! that's impossible!" Simon stutters. "Which one, tell me!"
"It's GOD!" screaming, I reveal my ultimate Pokémon. "Arceus, canonically God, would just snap every. singl- wait where am I. S-Simon, y-you're alive!"
as I look over to my friend I see nothing. "Wait, where is this place? Why am I back here?! Don't leave me! Not again."
"Why" I hear from behind me. Looking back I see Simon being held by the Monster that killed him. The knife wielding phsyco speaks in a raspy, deep tone "I'll kill him. And it's your fault. I killed him because you where to weak to do anything. It's your fault"
YOUR FAULT
I wake up in my bed, gasping for air. 'My lungs feel so tight. I can't get any air.' I panic and start to walk towards the bathroom. 'I'm gonna throw up.'
I stumble, once, twice and by the third I've fallen down next to the toilet. I empty my insides there and stand up, taking shallow breaths. 'I want to leave my past life behind. I cant. I wasn't strong enough back then. I will be now.'
I look in the mirror. I don't see SOMETHING. I see lifeless eyes of my friends corpse staring at me from behind. my eyes widen in panic and I look behind me.
Nothing.
I look back to the mirror.
Nothing.
I walk back to my bedroom at a rapid pace. 'What happened back then shouldn't effect me this much. I shouldn't have taken that cursed token.' I close my eyes, wanting a good dream for once.
Nothing.
"HA" My shuriken hit the center of the tree, the next slightly above it and to the right. I use those kunai as a ladder and jump off of them, whilst in the air I throw another tow kunai with each hand, both hitting the tree to form a square with the other kunai.
"That was cool." I've gained another skill a week after I got my art related ones.
Acrobatics Level 12/100

Due to my perfect adaptability my HP have sky rocketed, so they can compensate for all the blood I'm loosing daily because of my Hemomancy. It's a beautiful cycle. My STR and DEX are slowing down, as expected and so is my WIS. But the drain of my Hemomancy has become so small that it is negligible if I don't use any big moves, like making a spear 10 times larger than myself. Now I still have an hour of training time and I wanted to expand my bloody brawler style. My first idea was making gauntlets, so I will do that first.
I stand Infront of a straining dummy I bought with the large amounts of money I get from Konoha as a clan head and concentrate on the veins and their blood an my hands. I imagine them getting sliced open ever so slightly to let blood coat all of my hand. Blood starts to coat my hands and drip down, now I harden it.
"I cant move my hands now." that's a problem. But it has a solution. I can control the density and solidity of my blood completely, so I slightly loosen up the parts of my hands and fingers that I need to move them around. It's not that hard to keep up such complex structures anymore, my Hemomancy is pretty high after all. The gauntlets double the diameter of my arms and go to a bit below my elbow. When I get a style down in the future I'll customize them more but for now I'll ad three little stumpy spikes on the knuckles of the gauntlets.
New fighting style technique unlocked!
Blood Boxers Level 1/10
A gauntlet that can be used for melee combat. [NOTE: if made out of your own blood, chakra can still be channeled thorough them, making hand signs possible.]
Part of the Bloody brawler fighting style.
"today we start the first taijutsu competitions. Everyone stand up and follow me." Iruka says. Everybody does so and I find myself at the yard where THE swing was in the original Naruto. It's still there of course, just hasn't seen much use. Iruka then announces the first matches. They're all civilians fighting so I don't really watch that much. I hear my name get called "Senshi Kūsho vs Sasuki Uchiha." 'I completely forgot she exists.'
We step into the ring and take our stances. "Begin!"
I know I'm far better than anybody here, even Iruka, my observe says so. I'm going to hold back, but not that much as I want to be a recognized 'prodigy' as It will bring good bonuses with the Hokage.
She waits for me to attack first as the Uchiha taijutsu style, the interceptor fist, relies on them reacting to my moves. 'Too bad she wont get to use the style.'
I rush towards her at speeds only Iruka can follow and punch her in the stomach, then a punch to her side follows and my final move is a straight kick to her center, launching her out of the ring.
"That was sooo cool!" "He's from that new clan right? He's even the clan head!" "Is he single?"
'No, no, no I'm not dealing with fangirls. PLEASE.'
"I'll ask him!" "No, he'll go out with me!"
I quickly go to back to my spot and wait for class to end.
After class I start walking to the training ground but I get stopped by Sasuki. She looks annoyed and confused at the same time. I hold up my hands and say "If this is about me not hanging out with you as I promised, I swear it was because I was at the hospital."
She looks even more annoyed at that. She then speaks "No. How are you that strong?"
I look confused "Part of it is my bloodline and the other is training."
She narrows her eyes at that "So it's your bloodline?"
"You have no right to complain about bloodlines, yours is one of the strongest." I complain 'I'm inflating her ego.'
She smirks and agrees "That's true. Still, if your training is good enough to win against an Uchiha I want to train with you. You promised to hang out too."
And so it was, I agreed to her request and we started to train together.
It's been a month after we started to train together and she doesn't really talk. We meet up at the training ground I usually go to and I work on the things I usually do while she practices Shurikenjutsu alone. The only real change came when we started to spar in taijutsu together.
"I win again" I say, relishing in my victory.
She get's up from the floor she was laying in and sighs "At lest you take the time to train with me."
'What is tha- Oh, Itachi is starting to distance himself, isn't he? Am I starting to take the same level of importance as Itachi in her life?'
I smile, something rare these days, and reply "I will always spend time with you, you've grown on me. Even when you're so broody."
Sasuki shifts from her sad expression to a more happy one, even blushing slightly "Thanks."
I take up my straight face again and ask "Do you want to see something cool?"
She looks intrigued 'Perfect shift of topic on my part.' "sure." she says.
I summon Mewo and swiftly deactivate her terrifying aura. I mentally command her to jump into the Uchiha's lap. The black ball of cuteness does so. Sasuki looks absolutely infatuated with my own personal ghost cat. She pets her ears and looks up at me as if I've gifted her her sharingan "Oh my kami, what's her name and where did she come from?"
I quickly answer "It's my second Kekkei Genkai, though she's normally much more scary, she can just shapeshift. And her name is Mewo."
That day me and the future avenger grew a lot closer.
That's a wrap. I don't know when I'll write the next chapters. It depends on how I'm feeling. If you're wondering where all the observes are, they're very tedious to write so I'm not including them so much, only when they're important. Bye.
