The second day of my week off was spent doing much the same as the day before. I went to the training ground. I trained my Hemomancy. And I trained my Bloody Hammer. This time though, I still had time after finishing those. Now, I could choose between either training SOMETHING or training my until now untrained Shurikenjutsu.
I started searching for any shuriken or kunai still scattered on this training ground. I eventually found enough to start practicing with them.
The first shot missed. The second followed. I used another way to throw. I missed, but barley. I used more force. I hit.
Skill acquired!
Shurikenjutsu Level 1/100
The ability to throw senbon, kunai, shuriken and other such objects.
Dexterity increased!
Another such vague skill. It's better this way though, as this skill alone will determine my entire throwing ability and I don't have to redirect attention to multiple skills. I spend two hours increasing the skill to level 12 and mentally prepare for my last task today. Using SOMETHING. 'First things first, I've gotta get used to it's presence, if not comfortable. That means having it out a lot. It will scare the Konoha populate but I will just change it's appearance to Mewo from the original OMORI game. But because I will be using SOMETHINGS base form for combat for now, I will train with it in that form.' I end my inner monologue by summoning my mental torturer.
SOMETHING appears just as it is expected of it as my skill and I start training it's shadow control abilities. After three entire hours of using Noose on animals as well as terrifying them and using shadows to reenact shitty youtube videos I only vaguely remember, I finally gain a level. I did the last one to bring some comedic light to this terrible ability. This next level also unlocked one of the locked skills I saw back when I first got this thing.
SOMETHING [OMORI] Level: 2/5
"When something killed Mari.. when something ruined all our photos.. I didn't say anything.. I didn't want people to think it was you, SUNNY."
-BASIL
Phobia manifestation: Can use any phobia of the target to bring it into reality, either by SOMETHING taking it's form or by using shadow creation. This, in conjunction with terrifying aura can be permanently mentally damaging.
I am starting to remember why I was initially exited to get this skill, the SOMETHING from OMORI had a lot of power, from SUNNYS perspective anyway. Using my SOMETHING is also far less tiring now and easier to look at, especially in Mewo form. Then it's even adorable. It acts any way I want it to, so when I wanted the adorable cat from the horror game I got it. I am slowly getting over SOMETHING itself, though not so much the trauma it brings.
Either way, I am going to train the remaining four days in everything I did today and at the end I'll have some sort of test.
As I lay In bed after a good day of training my thoughts can only drift to the expected, my death. His death. My faul- 'I really should buy some sleeping meds, I hate the nights. Nothing to distract me from my own head.' I really shouldn't summon something but I need a cuddle partner and Mewo sounds very good.
The spirit reacts. The cat snuggles into me and I feel well.
At that moment I remembered that SOMETHING feeds of every emotion, even the good ones and reacts accordingly. "Maybe it wont be so bad with you after all, huh Mewo?" The black, almost spherical ball of cuteness only looks up at me, not uttering a single word.
As I close my eyes, slowly drifting or into my dream world, helpfully devoid of nightmares, I hear one last sound.
"Meow"
It's the last day of training and Naruko said they were taking a test today, supposedly we will be taking one every week. 'Maybe I will get to train with her earlier than I thought.' I think as I shoot another large blood spike from my finger pistol. Before conducting the test I've set out for myself I will look at my progress once more.
Hemomancy: Level 29/100
"I'm a blood mage. It's what I do!"
-Garry, the Sanguine sorcerer after killing 10 people for their blood and being confronted about it by the local government.
You can manipulate the properties of blood including location, density and temperature. Also, you can control you own blood far easier than other blood. (1 MP per second) [NOTE: temperature and density will become exponentially more harder to change depending on the degree of change]
Shurikenjutsu Level 31/100
The ability to throw senbon, kunai, shuriken and other such objects.
Bloody Hammer technique Level 7/10
This technique let's you wield a hammer using Hemomancy much easier by fluctuating its state of being between liquid and solid.
Part of the [Bloody Brawler] fighting style
I've also noticed a substantial increase in my mana, supposedly if you use one type of magic a LOT, you reap far more rewards in the mana department that if you were to branch out to much.

I have also noticed the non-linear progression of my HP and after some easy calculations I manage to deduce that after level 30 my health didn't upgrade at a 1:1 ratio but a 1:1.5 ratio, leading to the growth I've seen. Not that it isn't welcome. Now onto my test, I will be spending the rest of the day, 6 remaining hors until midnight, in the Forrest of death. Now you may ask 'what the fuck is wrong with you' I must tell you that I've spent a lot of my time at home, when not training, Powe scaling the characters from the show and while I wont use those estimates as exact, correct information, I know I can broadly guess how strong everybody is.
I compared my own power set and the destruction it could cause to the power set of the participants of the chunin exams from the show and I've concluded that I can take on the same Forrest they could while not being hunted down by other ninja. So, onwards to prove myself worthy of this world and to the dream I want to make real.
'He's been doing well for quite some time now.' Mitarashi Anko thought after having been told about an intruder by her snakes. Of course she wanted to start messing with them, but after seeing what the kid could do, she thought twice. She wasn't scared that he was stronger than her, no. She got too close once while he was using what ever the fuck that ghost thing was, she of course knew what it was because every Jonin got report of the new clan in Konoha, and she quickly knew why the kid was gives so much leeway in regards to the CRA.
Reliving her memories with Orochimaru, her branding in specific, was not fun. So, as any reasonable shinobi does, she waited for him to deactivate his monster. That had been an hour ago and now he finally made his bloodline disappear.
She quickly jumped down from the Tree branch she was on while hiding her chakra, she didn't think the boy could sense her but he took her by surprise one and she wouldn't let it happen twice. She got uncomfortably close to his ear and whispered to him "Whacha doing here? You know this is the Forrest of de-"
before she could finish her senses scream at her, she took out a kunai to block an incoming blood sword but the sword cut right through her kunai like it was a toy. She still easily dodged the swing of his sword. "Whoa there you little brat, I was just saying hello!" she complained at him but he just looked at her with only slightly widened eyes. 'Oh yea, they said he had some sort of genetic sociopathy but he can turn it off after getting attached or something, I wasn't listening too much.'
The kid, Senshi she knew, then opened his mouth "I didn't hear or sense you coming so you surprised me." his face still straight, showing no emotion. Though she knew he could easily fake one.
Anko then replies "I hid my chakra. But I've got a question too, little brat. Why are you in my Forrest?" the last sentence is spoken with a little more seriousness.
Senshi, still blank faced answers "I wanted to test myself against this infamous Forrest. I did not know of a person residing here, though I am not complaining now, you're presence is greatly appreciated."
Anko squints her eyes 'Is he trying to compliment me? I guess that must be harder to do when you cant empathize with other people. I admire the attempt though.'
Anko then smirks and says "Ohhh~ trying to seduce me, are ya now?"
Senshi ever so slightly smirks back, thinking 'I need to play her game if I want a chance at what I want from her.' then says "Initially, that was not my intention but now the option of wooing you with my infinite charm doesn't sound too bad." he continues his sentence in thought 'Yes that is part of the reason why but I also want to be trained by a Jonin before I gat on a team if I can and the R.O.B still wants his Harem.'
Now Anko is starting to smile "I'm no pedophile you know? you're going to have to wait till after you become gennin."#
I raise an eyebrow "But I would still be a kid then?"
she shrugs "Well, not legally, as soon as you become part of any shinobi rank you are legally an adult. Now, when you're gennin you can come back here. Leave your teammates out of it though." Then she shunshins away.
I finish up the rest of my time in the Forrest and then pack up and head back. After getting up to my floor on the apartment complex I see Naruko knocking at my door, asking if I'm in there. I walk over to her slowly, as to not alert her to my presence, then I peak up "I'm right here."
"AH! oh, oh, kami you scared me. I thought you were home? Where where you until this late? I've been standing here for an hour!" The feisty blond complains.
I sigh and open the door while saying "I was training longer today, don't worry." we then both step into my apartment and I close the door again.
I then have an idea "Okay, Naruko I have an idea. Do you remember when I told you about my spirit, my SOMETHING and how it lives to protect me?"
She cringes a bit and answers with a yes. I then say "It has the ability to shape shift and I know you're uncomfortable around it, so was I but I found a way to fix it!"
I then summon my SOMETHING in it's Mewo form. Naruko immediately forgets that this thing almost traumatized her and darts over to my 'cat'.
With sparkling eyes and a smile on her face she says "It's soooo adorable! What is it's name, you cant call this the same as the monster. No offence kitty."
"Meow" Mewo purrs in affirmation.
"I thought so too, so I named her Mewo." I say while going over to the couch where both feline and fox have made their den.
She brings the adorable spirit into a bone crushing hug and exclaims "That's the perfect name for her."
'She doesn't act much like Naruto anymore. She's just a very energetic child now. That's good, Naruko, I'm not taking away your childhood.'
I smile and say "It's late now though so I'm going to go to sleep. You can keep cuddling with Mewo. Now there is and idea, bring Mewo with you to your apartment, I can test his range then." she thanks me and reluctantly leaves my home. I don't eel Mewo de-summoning for the entire night so I think it worked.
that's the next one done. The following chapter will be academy centric, I want to get Senshi's relationships with the rookie 9 out of the way. I would greatly appreciate a comment, my first comment was somebody advertising CP and of course I deleted it but that was kind of demoralizing. Also a bit funny.
