Access to Shinobi Library
.
Well Damn. This will do wonders for me, access to a library filled with ninjutsu and shit. Nice.
Speaking of Jutsu, I needed a plan. I, currently, had absolutely no idea what I was going to do first. Hell, I don't even know what I'm going to do in general! There was certainly a lack of foresight here. Not on my part of course. Somebody else.
Ok. Alright. Think here! Where do I go from here? The smart decision would be the shinobi library, I can learn Jutsu there! OK, but where was the library?
...
Shit.
Walking around and asking people was quite embarrassing, I mean, What ninja didn't know where the Ninja library was? But eventually, I did manage to find it. The building was hidden away in between the Hokage Mountain and the academy.
My goddamned start position...
Whatever
"let's have a look shall we?"
I really shouldn't be talking to myself... Moving on... The first thing I noticed was not the overwhelming amount of books that lined every wall, it was not the people inside the fine establishment either. No. It was the blue box that appeared before me.
You Have Entered the Shinobi Library! What would you like to learn?
Ninjutsu
Taijutsu
Genjutsu
Fuinjutsu
Bukijutsu
Kenjutsu
History
General Knowledge
...what? This wasn't the first time I had a box before me, it shouldn't have surprised me, but it just did. I guess after the euphoria of using an actual jutsu and the novelty of my situation had worn off I'd realized just what I was in for.
I was alone. In a foreign place. A place that was the epicenter of a story. A story that would lead to the death of many. The fear that had been forgotten about all rushed back... And I just went on autopilot. I completely ignored my Notification. I got to a chair at an empty table and just sat there.
I'm not sure when I started thinking again but time had passed. The bright glow of the afternoon sun gave out to the settling evening, I could make out the stars in the sky, faintly glowing. At that moment, I was rooted back to my reality. I was unsure as to why the stars grounded me but I didn't care.
I had a role to play. That role was the one who would make it out alive. I'd be the one to survive Pein, the one to survive Obito, the one who'd survive Madara and Kaguya. That was my role...
And I'd do a damn good job of it.
Looking at the list again, I briefly contemplated on which but eventually decided on ninjutsu.
Ninjutsu Selected.
Suddenly, three books were in front of me. The title of the first one read: How to Chakra!
"...perfect" With an exasperated sigh, I began reading.
By reading a book you have gained 1 INT
By reading a book you have gained 1 INT
By reading a book you have gained 1 INT
The sudden appearance of these was starting to get tiresome. But it was worth it. With each increase in intelligence came with an increase in my understanding of what I was reading. It was awesome. When I looked back at my status screen though, something confused me greatly.
The existence of a 'background' was weird. I was pretty sure the game knew my history. So why was it there? With nowhere else to turn to, I asked the game itself. It provided me with something crazy.
Background: N/A
A player's background is the origin he creates for himself, this will affect pre-existing parts of your life and the game itself, such as adding new skills. You only get one shot at creating your background, and while you can add more details later on, you are set to a maximum of 5 known characters. You will be given a blank piece of paper to write on and it is the basis of what will become your epic origin.
Upon reading it, said piece of paper appeared on the table, but I wasn't looking at that, no, I was trying to wrap my head around the absolute power it gave me. I could make myself the reincarnation of the sage of six paths that were trained by the Hokage... but something held me from doing so... A simple thought... How would this change the story? How would this person be perceived in this world? My sheer existence would cause black Zetsu and Obito to change their plans. That could derail the entire story.
So no. I am not doing that. But then, the question now was, what now? Who do I be? And how is that not going to lead to Madara not getting betrayed? So, I started running all the possibilities in my head and their prospective outcomes.
Uchiha? Danzo would kill me
Hyuga? Branch Enslavement
Uzumaki? I am not becoming a breeding dog
Senju? Same as Uzumaki
Nara, Yamanaka, or Akamichi? Maybe, but not a Kekkei Genkai
Maybe from a clan outside the village? It could work... I could say I was like the cousin of someone. Haku maybe? hmm. That could work...
'I am Haku's cousin...'
Wait...
'I am Haku's cousin on his mom's side...'
Ok, now what...
'My mother escaped the land of water and found refuge with Konoha's walls'
Who should the father be?
They had to be old enough at the time, meaning they had to be pushing 40. Shikaku maybe?
'My father, Shikaku Nara, had gotten really drunk after a chunin died under his supervision, that's where he met my mother, also drunk. They proceeded to have sex and both completely forgot about it. Accept, 9 months later, on August 15, I was born'
Ok... Now...
'My mother did not survive my birth leading to me being orphaned...'
This is where I need to put the person who'd teach me... but who? I could put like, Kakashi or Gai but... I didn't want to risk that. Kakashi was not in the right mind to be doing that and Gai... well... yeah. He would not be a good parent. I'm not gonna get fucked in the head cause I wanted 8 gates early. So who...
...
What was the guy who trained Konohamaru again?
...
Come on! He's a good teacher or something...
The only real reason I'm going with him is because that won't lead to me having brain damage. How old would he be? he's like 30 at the start soooo, so 30-12 is 18... best to wait till he's 20.
'2 years after becoming an orphan, Ebisu adopted me, he said he'd make me into a fine shinobi'
Three down, 2 more.
'After a while, I unlocked my Kekkei Genkai, Hyoten. Ebisu, Seeing this,...'
I can fit a trainer in here but who...
Someone who would be able to help with my Kekkei Genkai...
Outside of Tenzo, there really isn't one. and I can't go with Tenzo cause that raises suspicion.
Damn
What sort of skill would be nice to have?
Ninjutsu...But who...
Hold on
Hiruzen was gonna die soon anyway...
'Requested that Hiruzen Sarutobi provide Wind and Water Style Ninjutsu, he complied...'
One more.
'He also managed to convince his close friend Hayate Gekko to teach me Kenjutsu.'
This was it.
This was my backstory...
altogether it said:
'I am Haku's cousin on his mom's side, My mother escaped the land of water and found refuge with Konoha's walls, My father, Shikaku Nara, had gotten really drunk after a chunin died under his supervision, that's where he met my mother, also drunk. They proceeded to have sex and both completely forgot about it. Accept, 9 months later, on August 15, I was born, My mother did not survive my birth leading to me being orphaned 2 years after becoming an orphan, Ebisu adopted me, and he said he'd make me into a fine shinobi, After a while, I unlocked my Kekkei Genkai, Hyoten. Ebisu, Seeing this, Requested that Hiruzen Sarutobi provide Wind and Water Style Ninjutsu, and he complied, He also managed to convince his close friend Hayate Gekko to teach me Kenjutsu.'
Damn
This... Was going to change so much. With a bit of reluctance, I placed the paper inside the blue box...
And the world went black.
