***Story Start***
It s been a week since their pickpocket mission and the strange occurrences have been the talk of the town. From many people losing their possessions and money to freak moments like crazy animals, heavy mist and giant birds. It had everyone spooked and suspicious of what really was at hand.
The responsible party was laying low buying the essentials they would need going forward. Some camping equipment, new clothes, hygiene products, wrist watches and a phone. They didn t stop stealing either. They are just saving up for when they can get a roof over their heads despite the fact that they can counterfeit their money through the use of shadow clones.
Naruto can make way less clones now, so they have been discussing and training to perform a variant of the jutsu. A variant that can only clone objects. Naruto got inspired by Konohamaru who had this ability but never got to learning it. Well, it would have been easier to just ask but that would mean Naruto has to suffer the humiliation of asking his disciple for ask jutsu advice. At least he knows it s possible, so it doesn t limit their options, but he has been climbing a lot of buildings or visiting bathrooms just to clone in private.
The exact number of clones wasn t important since everyone can assist with the counterfeiting process but only after they get the variant down. After that they will be swimming in money. But for argument s sake they guessed that Naruto can safely make about 80 clones. Since Naruto had 4 times the chakra Kakashi had and he had 100 times when he was a jinchuriki, he should be able to perform 4% of all his chakra feats as a jinchuriki. Though the six paths power is skewing their calculations since they can t tell how chakra Sasuke or Naruto have.
They wished that Sasuke could have awakened the rinnegan again, but Sasuke is stuck with mangekyou sharingan, and they re not even eternal. But despite that they managed to gruesomely turn Sasuke into sharingan eye factory. This was at his request of course but he did regret every waking moment of it. Now Sasuke had 10 spare eyes and they needed to be kept safe from decomposition, so Sakura came handy for their shopping. They couldn t just stuff them into a storage seal and call it a day since time still flows regularly in seal. Sure, they can protect it from oxidation but it s better to be safe and seal it with a chemical solution to preserve the eyes.
So now you find the team split up performing different missions. Sakura and Sasuke are out stealing in the residential areas because everyone preferred Sasuke s approach since it was the least flashy and had less collateral damage. And Naruto and Kakashi are on reconnaissance. You would find a clueless Naruto at the library and Kakashi at the bar.
Sasuke and Sakura were busy rummaging through the homeowner s things looking for any sign of a wallet. They had already decided to take a 100 yen per apartment and always check for surveillance cameras. I m glad I picked up lock picking fast Sakura commented after finding a piggy bank.
Yeah, you have a better way of doing than we do Sasuke replied.
Well shapeshifting into the right key after a process of trial and error is way too long and suspicious. I m just glad I had medical training Sakura stated after she pocketed the cash.
Sasuke headed towards the window and henged into a cat, We owe our successful criminal careers to you. We can even target businesses now with your help .
Sakura locked the door and also changed herself into a cat, Yeah, we ll definitely charge them more. It might even be a one-time thing for businesses before they tighten their security.
hmph, look at you worrying about the success of our future heists. Where s the girl that would rather beg for money than steal? Sasuke smirked in his cat form.
She died when she ripped a handbag out of a woman s hands while in the form of a monkey. And she got reminded that we, shinobi, can and do commit far worse atrocities like killing Sakura replied.
Yeah, I couldn t believe that they made killing illegal here. Not that it is morally right in our dimension and that you would still get punishment for killing. Be it the village s own law or the cycle of hatred as Naruto coined it. Sasuke stated as he was making his way down to the floor. They had to reenter the premises to break into another apartment.
I m surprised that he cried. Thought it would be me to shed some tears first Sakura joked.
Sasuke paused and turned his head towards Sakura, You know it s okay to cry right. You may not love the idea of peace as much as Naruto, but you did lose your family and friends.
I m fine. I just would rather be distracted with trying to survive in this world than talk about it right now. I think it would be nice to shed some tears with a roof over my head.
We can cry together tomorrow when we go into mourning Sasuke stated as he reentered the building as a cat.
Sakura giggled at the thought of Sasuke crying, Thanks but I ll be fine. The joke alleviated her mood slightly. Sakura hadn t been fine by any stretch of the word these few days. Everyday she s been hoping that she ll wake up from this nightmare. It wasn t an intense feeling just a brief hope she gets every morning. It s always this uncomfortable feeling that she has move to get rid of it. To build a momentum to live through the motions. She didn t want to die but living felt kind of irritating. She just couldn t shake the feeling.
At a bar on a Friday afternoon, you ll find Kakashi having a drink while he s reading from a manuscript. He s supposedly on a reconnaissance mission collecting information from the general public, but he is sipping on his beverage quietly reading. A few hours of relaxation won t hurt anyone.
Hey turtleneck why is you reading in a bar? Actually, why are you wearing the turtleneck like that? How are you supposed to drink when you re covering your face like some kind of idiot? a random stranger pointed out as he was drinking through his second beer.
I m researching and sorry about the turtleneck thing it was a force of habit Kakashi replied as he pulled down his turtleneck.
Oh, what do we have here, a handsome man. Look if you re going to attract some ladies with the whole suave sophisticated look you should be pulling that shit at a library or something unless girls in the library weren t your fancy and now you just pulling that shit in this bar. This isn t the place for some quiet reading but a place for sports, games, bar fights and some crass flirting. We don t need a book club in this loud and rambunctious place the stranger continued.
I m sorry I was just looking for any mistakes in my manuscript of this book I m writing before I send it to a publishing company Kakashi replied.
Oh, you re a writer. Man, I should have known you were some kind of snob when you were covering your nose like that but hey if you got money than why don t you buy us a couple of rounds to make up for antics. Appease the gods for your atrocities against the sanctity of this establishment. The stranger demanded.
Yeah, make up for embarrassing yourself with this shameful performance of promoting the fact that you re some aspiring author. Honestly get out of here with that crap the stranger s friend piped up.
Kakashi just exhaled and pulled out what looked like a phone and started to randomly pressed some numbers and phoned someone. Kakashi wasn t phoning anyone he was just copying the actions of some people with phones. He hasn t sat down to figure out the functions of the thing yet. He walked up to the counter and placed down 10 000 yen. That s for the next couple of rounds Kakashi said while still on the phone. He then made his way to the bathroom to settle his business.
WOW NOW THAT S HOW YOU REDEEM YOURSELF! the stranger cheered with his friends.
He really didn t need to do that the bartender thought. She was quite familiar with her regulars but even she felt like this was unnecessary win for them. Even she thought the guy was some kind of idiot who covered his face with a turtleneck. Like honestly was he a child playing ninja or did he really not like the smell of this place. On second thought, it s not my problem. He can bear with the consequences of his actions and not get a refund .
Kakashi came out the toilet and took a seat at the counter. Thank you for juicing up those idiots. They can be the life of the party sometimes the bartender thanked Kakashi.
No problem though I ll be short on cash since I ve been quite frivolous with my allowance. Kakashi sighed.
Allowance? How s a grown man still getting an allowance?
I just recently retired from an old job, so we have been living off our savings. Kakashi surely wished this was the case. If he still had access to his funds they would be living comfortably right instead sleeping outside. Sure, they have camping equipment, and they could just camp out on top of buildings to avoid getting reprimanded by the law. Sure, Kakashi has done this plenty of times for the sake of missions but now. He wasn t complaining about that. No. He was just on a mission to secure a comfortable life before an apocalypse happens. They don t know when the Otsutsuki will come, nor do they care right now. They need to integrate into this society and maybe try to warn the governments of this place about them. That s if it s happens in their lifetime.
They have never met or heard the Otsutsuki before Kaguya so maybe they were busy conquering other worlds. That would take anybody some time and that was a scary thought to consider. That there are some clan of dimension travelling monsters powerful enough to conquer worlds if Kaguya was an indication to how powerful they may be. She does have the ten tails so maybe they are weaker than they feared but it wasn t their problem. They weren t the final defense for this planet or dimension well unless it happens right in front them. There were others strong enough to contend with their team 7 and there may be others they haven t sensed yet. They don t have to jeopardize their peace and reveal some daunting information, information they may have no solution to resolve it.
No, they are just going to live a civilian life. No more missions after a certain point. They are more concerned with stability then dealing with the paranoia and chaos that comes with a possible warring clan of monsters. They will enjoy life until the last hour.
Hello, are you listening? the bartender asked.
Oh, yes I am. I m just thinking about the future Kakashi replied.
You know if this book of yours is your last stitch at having a better life, you better fix your spending habits first the bartender admonished.
They re potential fans Kakashi retorted.
They don t even know your name.
The sun hasn t even set yet I think I have time to win them over.
Then you better be ready to buy a couple more rounds. Beer is not as cheap nowadays.
I would rather use my personality to win them over.
The bartender laughed. Well good luck with that. Koda over there may be the life of the party but he s also has a nasty temper. He isn t quick to violence, but he will annoy the hell out of you and force your hand. We have been privy to his self-defense tactic far too often.
I can t even appeal to him through the love of sports.
Not unless you re a professional fighter.
Professional fighter? Does he like professional fighting?
No. Like I said, he will annoy you and purposely be combative. Look at him now, he s probably planning on cozying up to you and then doing something stupid like spilling his drink all over your manuscript.
So, I need to be a professional fighter to handle him and his friends? I guess I ll make myself sparse. Do you mind giving me a refund?
No. This will be a valuable life lesson for you and hey, you might be safe since he caused some trouble a few weeks back so he might be careful this time.
Why don t you just ban him and his friends.
They re loyal customers and its nice having this kind muscle behind your back. They have helped get rid of some bothersome characters, so we forgive some of their antics. They usually get into a fight at least once a year so it s not much of a problem. The only reason I know so much about their tactics is because they love bragging.
hmph, I guess I ll stay until I get my fill.
Stopped being generous? the bartender smirked.
Entirely. Kakashi replied.
My name is Miko by the way.
Mine is Kakashi.
A person entered the premises, and it was a blue eyed blond. He approached Kakashi and received the manuscript Protect it with your life and the blonde just rolled his eyes and left.
You got assistants now. Good thing you got rid of that book. Something could have happened to it Koda exclaimed from his table.
I didn t want to tarnish the sanctity of this establishment Kakashi shouted back.
You really need to change your spending habits if you already have an assistant. Miko stated as she was cleaning a glass.
He s family.
Sorry for bothering so much Yuna. I hope you do well at your exams.
Don t worry Naruto. The exams are in a few months so I m happy to help.
Naruto opened the door and let her out first. He was glad he managed to make a friend to guide him through his research of this world. Thankfully he hid his whiskers in a henge or else he would have gotten a weird look instead of some guidance. He wanted to delve deep into some subjects but now knowing it would take some extra schooling to receive a degree, he would wait until he has figured out how to get into this university. Thankfully he posed himself as a foreigner that is trying to acclimate himself with Japanese literature. She was really helpful and impressed with his use of language.
Now Naruto knows some general knowledge like how many people there are, the name of the planet, continents, a brief history of Japan, brief history of some wars, nuclear weapons, nuclear power, serial killers, some psychology (they had the concept in the shinobi world), sports, magic tricks and finally this dimension s rendition of ninjas. He even got her number.
Naruto had a lot to talk about with the others but first let s get some ramen and take down this henge. The only ones with all their stuff are the ones who are doing the stealing missions. They keep all their stuff in a book though they do separate the money evenly. So far, they have scrunched up about 40 000 yen. Naruto couldn t wait until he got a job, and he had the perfect idea for a job. Looks like there will be no more stealing for Naruto in the near future hopefully.
A/N:
hey i'm back. Yeah I turned Sasuke into eye factory. Will he share with his teammates? No... well not now at least. These first chapters are going to be also a slow burn. Just trying to ease into the other plot points so please bare with me. so Until next time, peace out.
