The next morning, Daiki, as usual found himself in training ground sixty-nine. After finishing through his initial work out and healing himself up with the Mystical Palm Jutsu, getting them gains instantly, he got around to the next part of his training.

Ninjutsu.

Usually, for the last little while, he'd been working on his lightning chakra generation and manipulation. But, he'd put that on hold yesterday, for a little bit.

Because he finally had the excuse he needed, to work on a jutsu that would for sure make his training, at least in the learning sense of things, go much faster.

Taking a deep breath and focusing, Daiki crossed his fingers in a familiar hand seal. It was a bit odd, it wasn't one of the normal twelve hand seals, at best, it could pass for a modified Ox-seal.

But, it did help him focus on the physical aspect of his chakra more. Which on of itself, was interesting, and made a lot of sense.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" he declared.

He felt chunk of his chakra be expended as he focused on the technique.

But, not half.

There was a puff of smoke and an identical copy of himself appeared at his side. Yet, there were glaring discrepancies.
For example, his clone was pale, and sweaty, looking ill.

"You…you got the ratio wrong again." the clone said haggardly.

"I know." Daiki sighed, and cancelled the technique. The clone disappeared in a chunk of smoke, and he felt the chakra used to create it, return to him.

Or rather, about three quarters of it.

He was beginning to see why this technique was a lesser form of a Kinjutsu, a forbidden technique. Getting the ratio down was actually quite tough, on top of that, doing it wrong, meant much of the chakra used would go to waste, leaving the clone formed wrong, and ensure the user got less chakra back upon the clone being dispelled.

…With that failure, he'd lost roughly, a thirteenth of his total chakra capacity. Which might not seem like a lot, but it was, when it only gave him so little chances to get the technique down before he had to rest and recover his chakra again.

Still, that was a better attempt than the last few, before he'd given up last night and returned home to rest.

And he was learning a lot through trial and error. For instance, he initially thought, that clones would have the same chakra capacity as him, lower chakra to begin with, but more or less, like a half empty tank. Basically, like one could put their hand in, and feel space that wasn't filled with water or whatever.

Maybe a bucket would have been a better analogy?

Either way, that was not the case. The clone was a complete copy of him, right down to the chakra. The thing was though? The clones 'tank', while a perfect copy for the most part, was a fraction of the size. Meaning, a shadow clone of him, would never have the same max chakra output that he did.

Especially since, his chakra coils, would refill while the clones were still active. Hell, the clones could apparently regenerate chakra as well, just like him.

Shadow Clone Jutsu was so fucking busted, without even getting into the memory transfer aspect of things.

Bringing his hands together again, Daiki was about to attempt the jutsu once more, before he frowned and paused.

He could feel someone coming.

He might not be a sensor-ninja, but his general senses weren't bad either.

He looked over his shoulder, just as a familiar high collared, dark haired Uchiha made his way into the training ground.

Sasuke eyed the training ground idly for a moment, before making his way over to Daiki, "Your training ground is a chore to get to." he grunted.

"Exactly why I picked it, I don't have a family compound to train in so people don't disturb me." Daiki retorted, turning around to face the boy.

Sasuke pursed his lips, before nodded, "Sound logic," he replied, "I imagine two idiots not bothering you constantly also helps with training, wish I could say the same."

"You're not wrong," Daiki agreed, "Honestly, as big a help a jonin-sensei would be to my training, having to have those two former teammates of mine along as well, would make my progress slower than it is now I'm sure, I'm better off really."

Hell, not getting a jonin-sensei leading to his current situation, was probably the best thing that ever happened to him.

"It's easy to see, with how much stronger you've gotten," Sasuke nodded, "Wish I could say the same."

"Well, Naruto's not dead weight at least, unlike Ami and Suzuki were, they were pathetic." Daiki pointed out.

Sasuke snorted, "I notice you didn't mention Sakura not being dead weight." he responded.

That was because he couldn't. Sakura, had talent, for sure, but she didn't apply it, and without Tsunade personally training her, she really had no right being on a team with Sasuke and Naruto, they were absolute monsters in the making without even taking into account Ashura and Indra.

"Well, she's good eye candy at least," he settled on replying with, hiding a wince, "And she'd drop to her knees for you at a word, I'm almost jealous."

Sasuke raised an eyebrow at him, before scoffing, "And have her think we're fated to be together forever or some other girlish fantasy nonsense?" there was pure derision in his voice, "No thank you. She already gets in the way of me getting stronger enough, I don't need her getting any other crazy ideas. You want to fuck Sakura? Feel free, hell, I'll wish you luck, maybe then she'll stop bothering me about this dating tripe."

Well, wow. He knew Sasuke wasn't a fan of Sakura early on, but he didn't think he'd full on express his, more or less blessing for another dude to fuck her just to keep her away from him.

"You know, you never expressed interest in any other girls at the academy," Daiki hummed, "You realise, you're gonna need to bang some girls to revive your clan, right?"

"Women, not girls," Sasuke surprised him by correcting him promptly, "Weak, useless deadweight, I have no interest in them being the mother of my children and the future matriarch of my clan. Besides, that goal is secondary, and something that can be taken away at any moment, unless I accomplish my main goal."

"Killing your brother?" Daiki nodded in understanding.

"Yesss," Sasuke hissed, his eyes onyx eyes flashing red briefly, "You're a lot smarter than my teammates, beyond Kakashi, those other two have no idea what I'm after."

Daiki shrugged, "Naruto can't understand it, he'd try, but he won't be able to understand it, because he hasn't experienced anything like that," he reasoned, "And Sakura has deluded herself into believing she's in love with you, when she knows jack all about you."

A brief chuckle left Sasuke, "Funny, you sound like you do though." he pointed out.

"A bit," he nodded in response, "I'm an orphan. But I did know my parents for a little while, or at least my mother. My father was killed by the Kyuubi during its attack, and my mother was eaten away by its corrosive chakra for a few years before dying."

"I suppose you can understand a bit then," Sasuke agreed, "Though, you at least have the solace of knowing the one who murdered your family is dead and gone now."

Daiki chuckled, "You'd think so, huh?" he hummed, but said nothing else on the matter.

It was funny, before he basically became a fusion of two people, he originally despised the Kyuubi, hating it for making him live life of an orphan. But, perspective really was key.

And he found he couldn't hate Kurama. Not only was he mind controlled into the attack, he'd been sealed away, for nearly an entire century, used and abused by humans, he couldn't blame the fox for attacking humans on sight and trying to kill them when the Sharingan hypnosis was broken.

They lapsed into a silence that hung in the air. It was only broken by Sasuke giving a cough and reaching into his pocket, withdrawing a small scroll, "Here, by the way, as we agreed on," the boy handed it over to him, "I've written down all the instructions you'll need to learn the fireball jutsu."

"Oh, right, thanks," Daiki blinked, accepting it, before looking Sasuke in the eye, "You're a lot more civil than you were yesterday."

Sasuke smirked, "You proved you were worth my time," he responded simply, "You're strong."

Daiki grinned proudly, "And getting stronger and stronger every damn day." he agreed.

"Next time, I'll win." Sasuke vowed.

"We'll see," Daiki actually found he was quite eager for another spar with him, "By the way, on the matter of Sakura, while I wouldn't mind a tumble with her, she's way too high maintenance for my liking, you can keep her."

"How generous of you," the dark haired Uchiha replied, voice dry and rolling his eyes, "Well, maybe pigs will learn to fly and I'll be able to foist her off on Naruto, along with that Yamanaka annoyance, unlikely, but I can dream."

Snorting, the Uchiha heir gave him a nod, bidding him goodbye, and walked away, leaving Daiki behind.

He watched his fellow genin leave, eyes fixated on his back, "…Huh, did I just become friends with that guy?" he wondered.

"Yes!" Daiki's voice echoed throughout training grounds sixty-nine the very next day.

It had taken a few days, quite a bit longer than Naruto to get it down, but he'd done it, with only a fraction of the chakra the blonde jinchuuriki had at his disposal.

"How'd you feel?" he asked the perfect clone of himself standing at his side.

"About the same," his clone shrugged, "Beyond the chakra which is obvious, I don't feel any different."

Daiki nodded, "What about the system?" he asked next.

"That's there to." his clone confirmed, "Though the chakra capacity is reduced on mine."

Interestingly, he couldn't see the system the clone could see. He'd tried showing the system off to a random civilian, and they couldn't see it either.

In that way, it meant the system was somehow linked to his individual mind then.

"Alright, two left," Daiki pushed on, he'd dwell more on those thoughts later, "Can you access the sealed equipment?"

When one created a clone, any equipment they had on them was generally cloned as well. Since the seal was tattoo'd directly into his skin, it made him wonder if-

There was a puff of smoke that emanated from his clones hand, and within it, grasped in his palm, was the white hilt of a familiar Kumo-make ninjato.

The weapon of that missing-nin he killed nearly a month ago. What was his name again? Kagero or something? It was kind of surreal how easily he could forget the name of a man he murdered, decapitated and then handed over his head for cash.

"Well, guess that answers that then." Daiki blinked. That, would be incredibly useful in the future.

"Only one left then." his clone agreed, before erupting into smoke as he dispelled himself.

As soon as the clone was gone, a rush of memories swept through Daiki's head, all from the perspective of his clone. He could see in his minds eyes, the status screen from another perspective, the halved chakra capacity, the feel of the ninjato in his palm.

It was actually a bit disorienting, "…I shouldn't abuse this too much right now, and recycle the clones every hour or so at most." he mused.

He had to remember, he didn't have an innate Jinchuuriki/Uzmaki combo healing factor, or anything even close to that.
…Yet.

"I can work with that!" he grinned, bringing his fingers into the cross shaped hand seal once again and shouting, "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Time to get down to the grind, right and proper, time to crinkle those leaves!

Daiki sighed, the sizzling of cooking meat sounding in his ears as he leaned back against the comfortable seating behind him, it was soft, and comfortable.

A balm for his aching muscles. For the most part, after training, he could heal his muscles right up to tip, top shape, more or less, gaining instant muscle increases.

His muscles, still felt the fatigue though, and through constant punishment, phantom rips in in the muscles themselves.

He had to admit, the seating inside the booths of Yakiniku Q, felt absolutely heavenly compared to his piece of shit couch.

'I should look into getting enough cash to move to a better place, or at least get better furniture.' he mused to himself

That would involve going on more missions to raise the money though. And, well, he was kind of you know, super busy training himself into the dirt so he didn't become a statistic when Orochimaru decided he wanted to invade because he was still baby raging over the fact Minato got picked over him to be Hokage.

Oh well, it was kind of working for him, if his status screen was anything to go by.

Name: Daiki Yurei
Age: 13
Chakra Capacity: 18,900/18,900 (Chunin)
Strength: 69/500
Endurance: 102/500
Durability: 69/500
Agility: 69/500
Taijutsu: 145/500
Ninjutsu: 165/500

Chakra Control: 180/500

Chakra Affinities:
Lightning - (Adept): You have stepped onto the path of roaring thunder.
Fuinjutsu - (Adept): You are no longer a mere amateur.

He was looking damn fine now. Everything seemed to just balloon upwards now that he had clones he could spar with, especially his Bukijusu and Taijutsu.

Since he could use multiple styles to fight, and so could his clones, they could mitch and batch, get experience fighting in all different ways.

Funny though, that his Ninjutsu had blown right past his Taijutsu, after he'd managed to finally crinkle the shit out of that damn leaf. Honestly, after that, getting the Fireball Jutsu down had been easy street.

In total he'd worked on his lightning chakra for a month, two, or more even technically when including clones into his training, which made his chakra capacity grow massively in the process as well.

He mentally thanked Kakashi for this training method, god it was helpful, 'Hmm, actually, could I send a clone off to do D-ranks for me every single day?' he wondered.

That shouldn't be too much of a problem, and he could accumulate missions for his record and earn money every day while he was at it!

As it was, he'd learned pretty much everything he had access to right now, beyond the Rasengan, but he wasn't sure he wanted to touch that for the time being. Maybe it would be best to give a little time on it to make it seem more natural?

If he just barraged Hiruzen and such with the news of all this shit he was 'coming' across or 're-creating', it would look too good to be true.

And definitely seem suspicious, even though no spy would ever be so blatant as to wave that shit in front of peoples faces.

It would just lead to awkward questions he didn't want to answer though.

Though, he definitely needed to work on that Genjutsu score, somehow. Maybe go see Iruka-sensei? He knew he had learned a few Genjutsu, the man had used them to test his class now and then after all and one of the tests to obtain his headband had been breaking out of Iruka's Hell Viewing Technique.

"The grind never ends." Daiki chuckled under his breath, putting it out of mind as he grabbed the tongs that had been provided to him and flipped over the meat atop the barbeque within his booth.

While he waited, he flared chakra through his palm, and in a buff of smoke, a map appeared in front of him.

He repeated the motion, and a pencil appeared as well. God, his Dimension Force Seal was so fucking convenient, no having to reach for scrolls or anything like that, just a thought and he was holding what he wanted.

Truly, the best jutsu ever.

"…What is with that place, honestly?" he rolled his eyes as he focused on a specific part of the map.

He'd been taking the time to triangulate where Isobu, the three tailed Bijuu should be right now. And, he was pretty sure he knew where it was.

The huge lake Isobu was in, was between Fire Country and Tea Country for sure, since Kabuto took a boat to reach the area.

Which wouldn't make sense for anywhere else, especially because Tea Country was to the south of Fire Country, and lead out into the open ocean according to the map.

The problem was, there were no large water surfaces between Fire Country and Tea Country.

But….if one took a boat across the Hanguri Gulf, part of the ocean that swept into a junction in between Wind Country, Fire Country and Tea country…

They would find themselves in the Land of Rivers. A small country, named as such, because of the massive, massive lake, or river that used to be connected to the ocean before a fight Hashirama Senju was a part of re-arranged the map and created a land mass that cut it off.

….A place that was less than twenty miles away from where he met Shiromari, and not even a days journey from the Katabami Gold Mine, where Raiga Kurosaki was.

"River Country sure is rife with treasure." Daiki snorted to himself. But yes, he was sure that was where Isobu was.

Now he only needed to get stronger, copy and learn how Naruto's seal worked, or at least half of it and somehow convince the three tailed Bijuu to willingly join up with him and let him become its Jinchuuriki…then somehow explain that off without it sounding like complete bullshit to everyone around him.

…Maybe he could spin a tale involving Raiga and Ranmaru, take care of three daimyo with one shuriken and all that.

Before he could think any further on it, a loud voice broke him from his thoughts, "Meat is youth!"

Daiki blinked slowly.

"Indeed, one must partake in plenty of meat and facilitate their protein intake!" a younger, male voice agreed, "Meat, is indeed youthful!"

"Can't you guys be quiet for one day?" a soft female voice groused in annoyance, "The patron already told us, there's no booths left, let's just go somewhere else, you're disturbing the other customers."

"Nonsense Tenten," the first voice harrumphed, "I'm sure some will be amendable to sharing space with us!"

And as the voice finished, a head full of shiny black, bowl-cut shaped hair peeked over the barrier hiding the booth Daiki was in, and a blinding grin shone towards him, "Why hello there my young youthful friend!" Maito Gai greeted him boisterously, "I see that you are alone in this booth! Might it perhaps be okay for I, and my youthful students to join you and partake in youthful tasty meal together?"

Huh.

Daiki blinked slowly, before shrugging, "Sure, I don't see why not, I've got plenty of space." he gestured to the other side of the booth, enough for four people to sit comfortably, with nary a soul.

He wasn't going to say no to the chance to get to know them.

"How youthful!" Gai flashed him a thumbs up, before turning and saying something to his team and gesturing to them to follow him.

A moment later, he bore witness to a robust, muscular and tall bow haired man in a green leotard, followed by his mini-me, and a long hair, white eyed pretty boy sitting opposite him.

While the seating at his side shifted as the last member of their name sat next to him.

"Sorry about them." Tenten apologised with a sheepish smile, cheeks flushed and rubbing the nape of her neck in embarrassment.

"Don't worry about it," he waved her apology off, "I had plenty of space as you can see." looking at her, he had to admit, Tenten was quite the looker. A pretty, creamy skinned face, warm chocolate brown eyes, a cute delicate looking nose, a graceful neck, and a quick glance from the corner of his eyes, seeing the way the front of her sleeveless pink shirt stretched out at the front….told him that she was far more curvaceous than Sakura.

He was actually surprised. He thought Tenten was more the slender type, but she was actually kind of stacked.

"A pleasure to meet you, friend!" Gai's mini-me thrust out a thumbs up at him, drawing him from saying anything else to the pretty bun-haired girl at his side, "I am Konoha's Beautiful Green Beast, Rock Lee!" he flashed a massive grin at him, and for a moment, Daiki was sure he heard an audible 'ping' come from them.

"…Daiki." he introduced himself, rather blankly. Seeing it on a screen was one thing, but it in no way prepared him for the sheer…exuberance of the older boy.

"That's the way Lee, socializing is youth!" Gai cheered, before flashing a thumbs up at Daiki just like his student, "And I am Konoha's Sublime Green Beast, Maito Gai!"

Daiki blinked at him, before looking at the long haired Neji who seemed to be doing his very best to ignore his teammates very existence, "Are you also some kind of beast of Konoha?"

The look Neji gave him in return, one would think he'd insulted his dead parents, ancestry and everything else he took pride in, "…No…no I am not." he replied simply, before grunting out his name and looking away to stare out of the window and probably imagine the other occupants of the booth out of existence.

A groan of dismay came from Tenten, "…This is why no other teams want to hang out with us anymore," she whined. She shook her head and forced a brittle smile on her face, "I'm Tenten." she introduced herself.

"You have it rough, huh?" Daiki pointed out, "Kinda glad I don't have teammates now."

Well, there was no now about it, he'd been thanking his lucky stars since he talked to Sasuke about it.

"…You have no idea." Tenten groaned.

He resisted the urge to pat her on the back sympathetically.

"A part of the Genin Corps I assume then youthful Daiki?" Gai hummed, making him look over to the man, "How is it treating you? You look like a strong lad, I can't imagine you not doing well."

"Pretty well, there's a lot more freedom in it I've figured out recently than having a jonin sensei," he shrugged, "I don't really have anyone to teach me, but, hard work and guts are carrying me along pretty well regardless!"

Silence.

The whole booth went silent for a good five seconds and Daiki felt himself get a bit uncomfortable as Gai…and Lee just kind of stared at him.

And then, they exploded.

"OH MY GOODNESS!" Gai wept, great big tears.

"Daiki-kun, you are so youthful!" Lee joined him.

And then they began hugging each other, and crying together.

He turned to Tenten, "…Correction, you have it really rough."

Tenten whimpered

Thankfully, after that, Gai and Lee seemed to quiet down, and while Gai ordered food for his team, discussion naturally shifted to the big shiny red koinkedink, or rather coincidence they all had in common.

Being ninja.

Lee asked what sort of Shinobi he was, and at first Daiki wasn't really sure how to answer, before settling on claiming to be a general shinobi, with leanings towards Ninjutsu and Taijutsu.

He got especially hyped about the taijutsu and invited Daiki to come meet him at Training Ground 9 anytime and they could spar. Gai jumped in and happily agreed to even give Daiki some tips if he did.

It was definitely something to keep in mind.

Tenten asked him what kind of jutsu he knew, and he rattled of a few, mentioning the Mystical Palm though, had her giving him an odd look, before changing the subject to ask about missions.

Really, they had a lot of interesting missions to talk about, even completing a B-rank mission together at one point apparently. The most he had to share really, was his last mission.

It did seem to get a bit of attention from Neji though when he revealed he'd killed and claimed the bounty of a Kumo ninja, even got a slight nod of respect out of the frigid Hyuuga prodigy.

Time seemed to fly in, and before he knew it, he had eaten his food, ordered more, and finished that up, and Team nine were right there with him.

He actually didn't even need to pay, Gai happily footed the bill for being kind enough to let them join him in his booth, before rushing off with Lee, both running on their hands through the streets of Konoha.

Neji said nothing as he left, leaving him alone with Tenten.

"…Please don't tell me you're actually going to wear that?" Tenten grimaced beside him, pointing at the gift Gai had left him with the profound tip of, 'Stay youthful!'

A green leotard that he held in his hand, "What, don't think I could pull it off?" he grinned at her.

"…I don't even Tsunade-sama could pull that off." Tenten gagged.

Oh, he begged to differ, especially with how skin tight it was.

"Think so?" Daiki raised an eyebrow at her, "I think you could pull it pretty well actually." after all, now that they were out of the booth, he could get a good look at her, good and proper-like, and he had to admit, he was not wrong. Tenten was pretty tall for a girl, with long, tonged legs, and green baggy pants she wore, were stretched out deliciously at the back.

Tenten had it going on for sure.

Her cheeks flushed a little bit, "Stop." she giggled a bit, punching him lightly on the arm.

Seemed she wasn't all that used to boys flirting with her. Kind of expected, with how much time she spent training and being a tomboy, but still, good to know.

"Alright, alright," he held up his hands in surrender, "So, what's up?" Daiki asked, getting to the root of the issue.

There had to have been a reason she hung around, instead of leaving with her teammates, right?

She winced, "…I don't really like asking this, but I've hit a brick wall," the pretty older girl began, "Can you help me with the Mystical Palm Jutsu?"

Oh, that was all?

"Sure." Daiki agreed. Not only would it get him in good with not only a fellow Konoha ninja, and a pretty older female one at that, but Gai was nice enough to offer him some tips and to come to him for advice if he needed it even, so, he saw no reason why he shouldn't help his student out in turn.

Plus, beyond all that, he kind of liked Tenten, he'd come to see she had quite the sarcastic personality and dry personality to her.

"…That was easy…" Tenten froze, surprised.

"Should it have been though? We hit it off with pretty well, right?" he pointed out, "Anyway, you can generally find me in training ground sixty-nine when i'm not busy with missions or the like."

"Oh, ok-" Tenten began responding before freezing and giving him a deadpan look, "…Why do I feel like you chose that specific number of training ground just for the number alone?"

His lips twitched into a switch, "Because you've got brains to go with that beauty?" he winked.

Her face flushed a deep red, and he laughed, bidding her goodbye and continuing on.

He had more training to do after all.

The grind never ended!

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Kakashi looked up from his book to meet the Sandaime Hokage's eyes, "I mean, Sasuke is fine, but Sakura has no filter when she's around him and Naruto's still far too rash. They aren't really a team that's suited for escorting a high class VIP."

"It's a B-rank in name only," Hiruzen puffed on his pipe, "It's only that high even because of who you're escorting. The chance of combat is drastically low, and it's less than a days travel from here. And it will look good for yours teams mission record when the chance comes to be promoted."

"…It's rather silly so, is it not?" Kakashi directed his faze to the mission scroll sitting on the Hokage's deck, displaying the picture of the client, "Who ever heard of the leader of a Hidden Village having to pay another village to escort them?"

"Waterfall sadly has precious few shinobi these days, and young Shibuki lacks the disposition needed," the Hokage shook his head, "Quite a waste really, the boy is incredibly talented, perhaps he could even have been a match for you given a few years if not for being afraid of his shadow."

"Perhaps," Kakashi shrugged lightly, "Though, I have a feeling there's a specific shinobi, or rather kunoichi you want me to check in on while I'm there." he eyed the older man knowingly.

"Well, I wouldn't pick your team for this mission otherwise, the genin act as a good smokescreen for you to sneak in," Hiruzen chortled lightly, he was just making sure young ninja got some props for their part in it. He reached into his robe, and pulled out a scroll, unrolling it across his desk, "Her name is Fu, no last name, an orphan from what we have been able to uncover. She is sixteen years old, general strength below that of your typical chunin, Waterfall has few capable of teaching her, after all, she is the current container of the Nanabi, the seven tailed horn beetle." depicted on the scroll, was a young teenage girl, she had tan skin, with short mint green hair and striking bright orange eyes.

"And you just want me to check on her?" Kakashi asked.

"That's all, just get me a general personality profile and check how she's treated by her village," Hiruzen confirmed with a nod, "Waterfall is not known for their sealing prowess, we have to know if she is liable to lose control and unleash the beast. While not as powerful as the Kyuubi, not even close, it is still the third most powerful of the Tailed Beasts, and with the ability to fly freely through the air, it is a terrible foe to deal with and could devastate the countryside before we can stop it."

Kakashi grimaced, yes, he could understand exactly how big a threat that would be, "Alright, I'll get it done." the copy-ninja promised.

"Splendid," Hiruzen grinned, before pausing for a moment, "Actually, a young Genin has caught my eye lately, part of the Genin Corps, he's training very hard to make up for that. Would you be fine taking him along? A B-rank on his record, will go a long way to allowing him to compete in the Chunin Exams."

"…From the Genin Corps, huh?" Kakashi hummed with interest.

And here we are, back once again with the big number 6!

And the grind continues ever on. Being going full ham with this. Up to chapter nine is done now and on my Pa-atreon, so you cna look forward to a few more updates every few days.

Anyway, again, shameless Pa-atreon plug. I've got one, go by the same username on there, easy to find and all that jazz. Support me if you want, it'd be swell, but don't feel pressured lads and ladies, I'll be uploading my stuff outside it regardless and not keeping it all behind a paywall or anything like that.
