Chapter 21: Changed

Chojusen looked at the man that chose to kill himself and tears started falling from his eyes. Even though he didn't personally choose to kill the man, he felt like it was all his fault. The man looked back at Chojusen, there was blood leaking from his mouth. He said "Look kid, Its not worth losing your girlfriend for me. If you don't kill me now, not only will I die in vain, you and your girlfriend won't be spared from Danzo's wrath either!"

Hearing the man's final words, Chojusen nodded his head and finished the man off by slicing his throat with the kunai. As he completed this action, he dropped the kunai to the floor and weeped on the floor for killing a person for the first time. Chojusen kept sobbing for minutes and eventually lied motionlessly on the floor.

Danzo left Chojusen to do as he wished after killing a person for the first time. Even he still remembered the first time he killed a man. While he was a cold and heartless monster now, he was also once a greenhorn like Chojusen.

As Chojusen stopped crying, a system prompt sounded off in his mind, but he was too emotional to understand what it said. Chojusen got up from the floor and turned to Danzo. With his eyes still closed Chojusen began crying tears of blood and his eyes involuntarily transformed into his Fiendgod Eyes. However, when Chojusen opened his eyes they were no longer the normal Fiendgod eyes, instead the vector black pupils now formed a red dot in the center. These red dots were ghastly and would leave behind a ghost trail of red neon light whenever Chojusen moved.

Chojusen looked at Danzo with real killing intent and walked over to him slowly. Danzo was frozen in fear and tried to activate the curse mark in Chojusen's time several times to no avail. Losing all hope he activated the last resort function of the curse seal to kill Chojusen, but that didn't work either.

Right now, Chojusen was in what the system would call a "very distressed state" so for now, the limiter would not be working against Chojusen. Danzo chose to strike Chojusen first, hoping to land a sneak attack, but Chojusen was no longer restrained, moreover he had his Fiendgod Eyes activated; to him, Danzo looked like he was barely moving.

Chojusen punched Danzo's body into a mangled corpse, but then noticed that it was just a mass of highly condensed Yin Law constructs. Chojusen turned around to see Danzo stare at him with pure unadulterated fear. Danzo tried to leave, but Chojusen just punched him again. This cycle of Danzo surviving his blows lasted for seven rounds, before Chojusen noticed that the eyeballs on his arm were closing each time he survived what would otherwise instakill him.

Connecting the dots, Chojusen didn't aim for Danzo's body and instead used Wind Elemental coating on his hand to cut off Danzo's arm. Unsurprisingly, after Danzo lost the arm full of Sharingans, he could no longer use Izanagi to survive Chojusen's attacks. For one final time, Chojusen punched Danzo's body, but before he could connect the punch Danzo starting yelling like a mad man, saying "You've forced me to do this! Even If I can't survive this ordeal, I will still take you down with me! Reverse Four Symbols Sealing!"

Symbols began to appear on Danzo's chest and black ink-like liquid started spurting out of the symbols like blood from a wound. A black sphere materialized, surrounding Chojusen and Danzo and Chojusen was pulled towards the center of the sphere. He used Void Cloak to become incorporeal and waited for the black sphere to dissipate.

When the black sphere was gone, nothing was left of Danzo's corpse. With Danzo dead, everyone that had the Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal, including Chojusen, were relieved of its restrain.

Chojusen wanted to be left alone now, so he teleported himself out to his personal dimension. Chojusen spent a good while calming down; it helped that his personal dimension was full of calming environments like mountains, valleys, and lakes. Chokogo had been in his personal dimension all this time and she noticed Chojusen's unstable condition, so she tried to comfort him by staying next to him. When he was fully calmed down, Chojusen said to the system "Why did you purposely play me like that!"

[You had to get over killing people at some point. I figured now would be as good a time as any. Besides, now that you learned the Omniseal Unlock Skill, you probably won't be in a situation like that again.]

"I had to get over killing a person? How could you have possibly known that Danzo would pick for me to kill someone for the first task?"

[Well, if you knew the history of Root and how extreme they are, it wouldn't be hard to guess that he would want you to kill someone to prove your loyalty sooner rather than later.

It seems you still haven't gotten it through your head that this is a dog eat dog world. First it was your encounter with Rasa; if anyone else were in your position, they would not hesitate to kill him after he tried to assassinate you. And now if you weren't forced to kill that prisoner and unlocked the second stage of your Fiendgod Eyes, you probably would have chosen to spare Danzo after learning how to get rid of his curse seal.

The method to make you get over killing people might have been a bit unorthodox, but everything I do is to support your growth. Do you understand?]

"Alright… Now what's this about unlocking the second stage of my Fiendgod Eyes?"

[You probably didn't hear the notification because you were distressed, so I'll repeat it. Host has evolved Fiendgod Eyes to Stage 2

Fiendgod Eyes (Stage 2 | 0/100): Special eyes that grant the user multiple spacetime abilities. These eyes can be used outside of Fiendgod Butterfly Sage Mode. Current Effect: (Stage 1) Allows the user to perceive time three times as fast. (Stage 2) Allows the user to stop spacetime from effecting his body for five minute, but can only be used once a day.]

Chojusen left his personal dimension and teleported back to the Hidden Leaf Village. He walked over to Minato's office and told him about his encounter with Danzo. Minato found it hard to believe Chojusen, as he didn't have any proof to validate his claims. So, Chojusen just told Minato that he would believe him after not hearing word about Danzo in the coming days.

Chojusen went back to Karin's house and let her know that he was ok, before returning to his own house and going to sleep. After getting his Yang Awakening Skill, Chojusen never took a day off training at night to sleep, so his exhaustion could be imagined. After killing a person, Chojusen had changed subtly and everyone he interacted with thereon noticed it.

Chojusen took a couple days to return back to normal, evident in his lackluster training sessions with Karin, Sakura, and Ino. But time heals all wounds, so he got over it eventually.

Chapter 22: Hot Springs

The day of Danzo's Incident, when Chojusen returned to his house, he told Choza what happened. Choza was heartbroken that his son lost his innocence so early on in his life; he couldn't imagine how bad Chojusen must've felt. Sure he was no saint and had killed hundreds or even thousands of enemies in life, but his first time was very traumatic and only had to cross that line in his preteen years, after graduating from the academy.

Chojusen was just four years old, even though he explained to Choza that his mental capacity was similar to an adult's, his body and experiences up until now had been those of a four-year-old; excluding all the insanity about him being strong enough to fight Kages. Choza had watched Chojusen grow up, and even if he was told that Chojusen thought like an adult, he knew that Chojusen behaved like a child much more than he led on.

For a couple days, Choza thought about how he would help Chojusen get through this harsh moment in his life. So, he visited Minato in his office and the two began discussing what they could do.

Minato welcomed Choza into his office and said "Choza! What can I do for you today?"

"I know Chojusen talked to you about his encounter with Danzo. After he came home that day, he's hasn't been eating right and he comes home early everyday from his training. I'm getting worried about him and come to seek your advice."

Minato thought about Chojusen's situation for a while and said "Right now what he needs most are his friends."

"He's been going to the training grounds with three of his friends for the past couple days and behavior isn't changing back to normal."

"What if we arrange for them to have a little trip outside of training? Something like… the hot springs?"

"Yes of course! Why didn't I think of that?"

"Alright then, I'll see if I can arrange for all his friends to go to the hot springs free of charge this one time."

Later that day, Minato sent several shadow clones to the various main clans of the village and asked the Clan heads if they would allow their kids to go to the hot springs for free to cheer up Choza's kid. The Nara and Yamanaka Clans didn't didn't ask to many questions and just agreed to let their kids get a day off training to enjoy a free trip to the hot springs. The Inuzuka, Aburame, Hyuga, and Uchiha were a bit skeptical, but after hearing that it was a FREE trip, they acquiesced.

The day for the hot springs trip was on a Thursday so only the kids would be going to the trip; all their parents would be busy doing high ranking missions. Chojusen only agreed to go to the hot springs because all his other friends were going and he hadn't seen them in a while. It seems the excitement of seeing some of the friends he hadn't seen in months improved Chojusen's mood, as his training with Ino, Sakura, and Karin improved in atmosphere.

When the day for the trip arrived, Chojusen was so excited that he woke up his brother extra early and the two talked about their friends until they were escorted to the hot springs by their father.

Choji was still learning the Multisize technique so he didn't talk with Chojusen as much as when they were training Staff Arts, but now that they had an entire free day, they talked with each other for as long as they could. By the time they reached the hot springs Chojusen had given Choji some pointers and evaluated his skill with the Multisize technique; he judged that Choji would be able to use the partial version of the skill after a couple more weeks of training.

As Chojusen and Choji were brought to the entrance of the hot springs, Choza told them to have a good time and promptly left. In the lobby of the hot springs, Chojusen found that Hinata, Kiba, Shikamaru, and Naruto were already catching up with each other. Both he and his brother made their way over to them and they all started talking about their experiences training.

When the rest of their friends joined them in the lobby, the group of four-year-olds registered themselves in the check in, before splitting up into groups by their gender. All the boys went to the left side of the hot springs while all the girls went to the right side.

The trip to the hot springs was originally intended to be a way to get Chojusen calmed down and have him return to his normal attitude. However, the hot springs was now occupied by a bunch of kids; a bunch of kids that were being trained to be ninjas. Instead of calmly taking in the peaceful environment, most of the kids were running around the hot springs whipping each other with towers, or playing around with water.

This was the case for all the boys except for Shikamaru; the lazy potato felt it was too bothersome to play in such a peaceful environment. The girls, much like Shikamaru weren't about to destroy this wonderful environment and just soaked in the water while talking to each other to catch up.

In the male side of the hot spirings as the kids were playing around, Chojusen stopped and turned to a dividing wall of the hot springs. There he faintly detected a person hiding and was not comfortable with the situation. He walked right next to the place he detected the hidden person and said "What are you doing?"

All his friends to turned to him to see what he was talking about, but nothing changed. Chojusen didn't feel like waiting for the hidden person to come out so he used Space Locking to reveal a white haired middle aged man. The man had red tattoos on his face that were almost identical to Chojusen's and had a horned forehead protector on his head with the kanji for "oil."

When the middle aged man fell from being locked in space, a periscope fell from his hands. Chojusen thought about these context clues and said "Were you spying on the girls section of the hot springs?"

Chojusen undid the space lock and the man said "It's all for research purposes! How else would I finish my books?!"

Chojusen unintentionally leaked a bit of killing intent and said "You were spying on my friends?"

Jiraiya didn't take Chojusen's killing intent to heart and said "Obviously I'm not. Are you dumb? What would I gain from looking at little undeveloped flowers? Remember kid, the if the shape is not developed and the fruit is not mature, the price will not be valuable."

Chojusen was so confused he had to ask "What are you talking about?"

"Kid you are too young to understand just how important this is to me as a writer."

"What do you mean?"

"Like in any field of study, you need to closely observe the subject matter to..." Jiraiya kept talking about the how important this "research" was, that even Chojusen was interested to find out what he was talking about. The more he talked with Jiraiya the more interest he became in the opposite sex.

Chojusen had always been around girls, but he only found them to be as interesting as his male friends. Now that Jiraiya kept talking so much about the wonders of the female body, Chojusen wanted to take a look for himself.

He made a clone to stay as his cover in the male side of the hot springs and teleported himself over to the girls side of the hot springs. Under his Void Cloak, no one could feel his presence even if he stood a couple inches from them. Chojusen walked all around the girls side of the hot springs, but couldn't find these so called "wonders" Jiraiya talked about.

In the girls section, aside from Chojusen's friends there were several other females, which Chojusen determined had the qualities Jiraiya could call "ripe" and "mature," but they were just like his friends only a bit taller; the more mature females did have what Jiraiya called "curvy," but Chojusen didn't see much use in having that kind of body hape.

What was so interesting about girls, that Jiraiya had to see and study? He looked around everywhere and nothing special happened? Was that old man just insane? Little did Chojusen know that Jiraiya would worship him as a god if he knew of these epic spying powers.

Chojusen was just about to leave the girls side of the hot springs, when he remembered that Chokogo was also a girl and summoned her from his personal dimension so that she could relax with the rest his female friends.

Chojusen though he did this discreetly without anyone noticing, but Chokogo's appearance was immediately detected by Karin. Even before Karin met with Chojusen, she always had the ability to detect chakra signatures and the sudden appearance of Chokogo's signature was like a bright beam of chakra begging for her attention.

Karin ran up to Chokogo, but on the way there she bumped into the invisible Chojusen.
