"Lightning style; Lightning clone jutsu!" I split my chakra three times, three clones made of lightning appeared. All of them with a tenth of my power. It was odd seeing three other me's but it wasn't the worst thing in the world. 'There are worse people to see.' Far worse. Now they couldn't access the system. I checked that the second time I used the clone jutsu.
'This will be useful in my plans for sure.' If I built up my reserves enough, I could make enough clones to be a distraction for Hunter-nin. 'My plan still needs a few tweaks doesn't it?' It wasn't perfect for sure. But it was a good plan to me. 'I still need to get the floor plans for the academy.' That was going to be tough but I could do it. The toughest part was going to be dealing with the Hunter-nin.
My Stealth skill was at a good enough level after all! Or at least I hoped.
[Stealth; lvl 16
Increases chances of not being caught when sneaking by 80%
Cost 1; stamina points per second]
My highest leveled skill... that wasn't maxed out... damn physical conditioning.
"Hey Kukui! You can make clones now too!" I turned around and saw Choujuro running over to me like he usually does, "How's lightning manipulation going? You have to be good at it now that you can make lightning clones!"
[Lightning manipulation; Lvl 8:
Increases control of lightning according to level
Lightning jutsu are 8% more effective.
Lightning jutsu cost 8% less
Lightning jutsu are 8% less effective on user]
Sometimes I wondered if I could level this to one hundred or something close to that, "Not really... I could be better but I'm so close to getting that leaf to crumple without burning its edges off or tearing holes through it. So close," I put my fingers together for emphasis, "How's water manipulation going for you?"
Choujuro looked down a bit, "Its not really progressing as fast as your lightning is but I'm on the second stage still. But I can make water clones using my own mist now!" He looked excited for a second, "Water clones are really useful,"
I shook my head, "You are ahead of me and doing something harder. Thats why its going slower," Choujuro looked down again, "Also its awesome you can make clones out of mist now. Think of the possibilities! If someone is chasing you through anywhere your chakra is saturated in you can just make clones to confuse them," Water clones were probably third best to shadow clones which was second best to wood clones. They could literally be made anywhere there was moisture.
Choujuro's eyes lit up for a second, "I never thought of it like that! I could even use them to throw off enemies if need be. I could even use them to make false tracks to avoid stuff like Konoha's Inuzuka clan or Suna's sensor unit!"
"Very good thinking Choujuro. Now you two, get back to training!" Sensei called out as he walked by, A flask in hand. War has been rough on him apparently. And he hasn't even fought. He was just pissed off when more of those 'Bloodline scum' Didn't die.
"Yes sensei," Both me and Choujuro said at once.
"Well... I guess I'll work on increasing my reserves," I shrugged and went to go run. 'Now I know how I'll evade Hunter-nin,'
I considered myself to be reasonably smart. In my near three months in the world of Naruto I had been smart and I had changed a lot. Mainly with me becoming very... hateful... of a certain man. Obito Uchiha was my personal enemy at the moment. But anyways, I had been smart. For the most part. I even figured out how to tree walk in an instant.
But fuck this was my stupidest idea yet. 'Breaking into the academy at eleven PM, Really Kukui?' If this was successful which it likely wouldn't be, I'd probably get access to a few new things to help me. Maybe a jutsu or two somewhere? Probably not. But oh well. Failure meant... death.
'Seriously, I'm stupid.' I thought as I carefully took the cover off a vent. No teachers were sensors so if there was any here I'd be safe in that regard. I just needed to be, really, really, really quiet and Hope stealth worked out. I was near the entrance. My first destination was the principal's office.
I crawled through the vents as quietly as I could. 'Okay, get the floorplans, make a map, look for anything else of value, and then get the fuck out of here.' That was the plan. it was simple but it was my goal. I continued to crawled through the vents, eventually turning left. 'I should be there soon.'
I eventually made it and saw nobody was in there. Good. I was going to be safe for a while. If the Principal wasn't here then that means nobody would be. He was normally the last person to leave. 'Okay Kukui, Take anything of info and copy it as best you can as fast as possible. Easy right?'
I took the vent cover off of the vent and I put it back into place carefully as to not make any noise. That wouldn't be good. I then began going through the desks drawers. Trying to find anything of value plus the floor plans. If they weren't here then they'd be in the administrative office.
'Student abilities, no, Grades, I'll check that later, A photo of a lady that isn't the principal's wife and the principal having sex.' One thing I learned is the cameras were a thing. And the principal loved his wife. The one time I came here legitimately it felt like his wife was staring into my soul. 'Well... This would be some good blackmail material but he's going to die anyways and he likely doesn't have anything of value for me to take...' I put the photo back where I found it.
I continued digging and found information on each of the staff. 'Oh hey, Sensei's the strongest guy here.' Sensei was apparently bordering on Jonin. He was apparently trying for Jonin so he could go join his comrades in the war. He was being considered heavily too. 'Thats why sensei's been in such a fantastic mood this week.' The man when happy made the room just feel lighter. 'A pity... He's a good man other than his hate of those with Kekkei Genkai.'
Still not what I want. Although useful. 'If I have to fight any of them, than Kai-sensei is the one I'd rather fight.' He was a medic nin. Kiri has an abundance of those so he was allowed to stay at the academy. He could only heal and not fuck with the body too badly. So I'd rather fight him than anyone else. He was damn good at the blade though.
I continued digging until I found what I wanted. The academy's floor plans. I laid them out on the desk and took out a large piece of paper. 'Thank the gods I stole that sealing scroll a few weeks ago,'
I took a look at the floor plans and counted how many people there were. '300, 400... 500... T-thats a lot of people. I expected it to be a lot lower.' Five hundred people... All of them at the academy when I blow it up... 'No... Would that be the right thing to do?' Killing even 50 left a very sour taste in my mouth. Let alone ten times that.
At least four-hundred and eighty of these people would be kids. Younger or barely older than I am currently. 'Could I really do this?' Sure they could become threats later on... But. Did they really deserve to die now? They would just be genin for a while and probably not kill anyone.
I didn't know the answer to any of my questions. 'I'm fucking disgusting.' I found myself drawing a shitty map of the school. Could I really go through with this? 'Maybe there's another way.' I couldn't just leave the academy empty when I blew it up... It would just be rebuilt in like a month at most. I needed to take people out with it. '...Why did I have to be Reincarnated into Naruto and oh I don't know Pokemon? Hell I'd even take something like Black Clover instead of this. At least killing dozens of innocents wasn't what a hero would have to do.'
[New skill unlocked; Cartography lvl 1
Increases the quality of drawn maps by 5%]
I ignored the screen as I put my newly shittily drawn map away into my sealing scroll. Along with my bombs. 'Dear god... I'm going to commit terrorism.' That fact had specifically just sunk in. I was planning a fucking terrorist attack and I planned to take lives.
I nearly puked then and there. 'I shouldn't think of this, now of all times.' I quickly climbed back into the vent after taking the cover off and putting everything back to where they were. 'Maybe I should look for a jutsu to learn. Yeah a jutsu. Don't they keep some low level ones in scrolls somewhere so if they want to teach someone a jutsu they don't have an affinity for, they can?'
I looked at my map. Which was very crude and shitty looking... The Teachers lounge was my next destination is seemed. 'Keep your mind off of it. Don't think about anything but jutsu.' I crawled to the teachers lounge vent. Thankfuly I knew the rough location of it. So it wasn't too long of a trip.
I jumped down after taking off the vent cover and put it back into place. I looked around and saw a shelf that was locked... I couldn't pick a lock without a lock pick yet... Well fuck. 'Well my mood is soured again.'
I turned around. 'Time to leave... I have a lot to think about.'
I looked at the bodies of the Kaguya clan once more. Not the best thing to look at in the state I am in but it might help me. Its been a week since that day. Three months in this world and I was already considering Murder. 'I wonder what my parents would think of me now.'
Probably with disgust. I mean what kind of person decides blowing up a school is a good idea? I wasn't even half a year into the world when I thought of it. Hell. I'm not even a half a year in now. 'Maybe my stint in hell did this to me?' That or Kiri was just that bad... or the one thing I didn't even want to consider. I always was a psychopath. 'Why did I deserve to be here then? Why not someone more deserving of this chance?'
It wasn't worth it to think of the what ifs... but I couldn't help it. 'These people died due to the mistakes of someone along with a black blob. I'm the only one who knows about the future and how to stop it... But can I really stop the inevitable? Could I really do anything of value to help Naruto and Sasuke?' I'd probably be one of those jobbers that fought Madara and died within three seconds... 'Do I really want to be that?'
"What are ya thinking about brat?" I yelp and the man chuckled, "Not wanting to join them aren't you?" I turned around and saw a tall, pale blue shark like man with a large bandaged sword in the back. The sword shifter and I felt some of my chakra drain and Kisame chuckled again, "I think Samehada likes you a bit brat. Now you wanna be one of them or not?" We both looked to the Kaguya clan.
I shook my head. 'Well... I'll try to not die...' I wasn't ready to die again, "No... But did they really deserve to die?" Abort. Abort. Abort. 'Idiot that didn't just come out of your mouth didn't it?' Welp. I'm boned.
"Some did. Some didn't. Yet they're all dead. Its the way of life kid, now is that why you look so glum or is there another reason? I got people to slaughter," He had a vicious grin at that. But he didn't look like he was going to kill me.
I nodded, "Its just... Why does things like this need to happen? Why do people need to die?" I thought for a second longer, "Why do we need to kill?" I needed to kill. If I wanted to stay out of Hunter-nins path... 'Do I even want to do this anymore?'
Kisame sighed, "I don't know brat. This world sucks and people lie. Some bastard probably just decided to lie about something to the Kaguya clan and now their bloodline kin are dying." He shrugged, "This world is full of lies brat. People will just lie about anything and get good people killed. Remember that. Now get out of my way brat. This conversation didn't happen you got it? I'll have to kill you otherwise." He walked away then. Samehada moving on his back. Slightly pointing toward my direction.
'That... was weird...' I'm alive. "Holy shit." Well... I had a lot more to think of now. 'Kisame is Obito's closest Human confidant... Besides Itachi Maybe? Fuck. Why didn't he kill me? He probably knows I am a bloodline sympathyser now... but he didn't sound like he hated them...'
Well... I'd just take this as a win. 'The way of life eh... I don't want to follow the way of life then.' But... It was the best option... 'What should I do?'
[Choujuro POV]
"Maybe... No... How do I do that? Would that be a good Idea? Flee... Academy... Sensei." Choujuro only heard some of what his friend was saying. He had no idea what it meant though, "Leave... Kirigakure... Support Bloodlines..." His friends muttering was getting harder to understand but Choujuro got the gist of it. Currently they were outside of Kiri, training. Choujuro was just listening to his friend ramble.
'So... He's a bloodline supporter too!' Choujuro thought with a smile as Kukui kicked a log. 'This means he probably wants to leave Kirigakure too. Maybe I can convince him to join me to find Kirigakure's rebellion? We can join together and help fight Yagura!' Choujuro continued to watch his friend train. 'I wonder... what is he planning though?' Kukui was a crafty one. It didn't show often but when it did it was nasty. 'Kaina's arm felt that one.' Never give Kukui anything blunt and a rope.
"Maybe... 500..." He breathed in heavily as he finished kicking the log. He then unsheathed both of his swords. Twin Taiji blades. They suited him honestly. Both of them knew that Kukui had little chakra. So duel-wielding was probably the best option for him. He began swinging the blades and going through Kenjutsu Kata's. 'He's a better swordsman than me.' Kukui would deny it. Considering Choujuro won all of their spars but Choujuro thought his friend was better. His sword was just heavier and he had more tricks up his sleeve.
A few minutes later Choujuro threw a bottle of water to Kukui, "You look tired and thirsty," Kukui took the bottle with a smile and drank up as fast as possible. 'He's still been training a lot... I wonder who's causing this.'
Kukui wiped his mouth clean and unsheathed his Taiji blades, "Thanks Choujuro. I needed that," He then swung around his blades for a bit, "This still feels weird you know... But I think it'll be useful,"
Choujuro sat down, "You know... You never told me why you decided to duel wield. Why did you anyways?" Choujuro was genuinely curious. Sensei didn't pull him aside and told him to try it, didn't he?
Kukui tensed up for a second, "...No reason... I just figured it would be a good idea to be honest," Choujuro didn't buy it. But he'd let it go for now. Everyone has their secrets.
Choujuro nodded, "Well it suits you. You don't have the biggest reserves in the world so this is a good solution."
Kukui grinned, "They are, but I'd love to have bigger reserves. You never know when your going to need to bust out a giant lightning dragon from the skies or something." He chuckled then, "No way is two swords going to cover it,"
Choujuro chuckled too. The idea of such a jutsu existing was hilarious. That seriously would take so much talent and skill to create its insane, "Maybe so. But still learning duel wielding might save you one day. Or it might impress someone."
Kukui shrugged, "Maybe. But we don't know for sure. I just want to be able to be strong enough to achieve my dreams though," This intrigued Choujuro. What were Kukui's dreams? Choujuro's was to make Kiri great again like it was during the time of lord second and to help the Kiri rebellion somehow. So what was Kukuis?
Choujuro looked at the brown haired boy, "What are your dreams anyways?" Kukui frowned.
Kukui looked down at the floor, "I want to change the world. I had an idea of how to start my plans to achieve my dream... but now I'm not so sure," Change the world... What a noble goal. Kukui seemed conflicted about his dream though. His plan more specifically.
'I shouldn't pry too much now...' Choujuro looked down as well, "Well. You don't have to have a plan now. Even if your plan sucks now it can always be better later. Or it can be good now and you just don't see it." Choujuro smiled, "And besides... No matter what, Changing the world is a noble goal and one that I think you can achieve even without power."
Kukui smiled widely, "Thanks Choujuro,"
"What did I do?" Choujuro asked and Kukui just sighed.
I kind of wanted to make this chapter longer but I just couldn't... It took a lot out of me to write this to be honest and I'm probably not going to write another chapter tonight. Anyways we have Kukui doubting his plans now! I figured that him killing dozens of kids without hesitation might not look good on him so he's doubting his plans! And yes his plans is to bomb the academy on graduation day. Or that's his original plan.
Also when you see this. One more chapter I need to pre write before I can upload... So I'll assume I'm writing next chapter the 24th of May... Your likely seeing this that last week of June or the first week of July. Huh food for thought.
Anyways hopefully you enjoyed!
Tobi-kun out!
Edit: Welp my prediction was wrong. I decided to release early as I need motivation to write.
