During this time we had received info that some of orochimarus subordinates were sneaking around the lake the three tails was in. This only seemed to make the akatsuki more sure he had the Gedo statue.
I kidnapped the one useful person who was there with the help of the imperiused kabuto giving me information. Her name was Guren. a user of crystal release who was currently being replaced by Sasuke and had grown bitter. I offered her a nice job and told her I had uses for her. After a show of power and beating her down like a helpless child she was eager to join my ever growing army. Like most of the jinchuriki she was shunned as a child for her powers. I was easily able to get on her good side plus I had even recruited others from orochimaru, he really was giving me such nice things and even taking the fall for me. I'll have to send him a gift or something.
I left the akatsuki and orochimarus men to do whatever with the turtle as I really didn't care. I'd rather not be noticed so soon so I can mess around longer. I mean train, yeah training.
Over the past few years my training had gone well. I had freed kurumi from the seal and she even happily lives in kamui. She enjoys getting her tails brushed and eating cooked rabbit. she's still very clingy and sticks to me almost all the time along with a few other girls.
I had a huge reservoir of jutsu and my ninja education plan was going great. I mean they were still mob characters but instead of goblins they had evolved into armed ogres. They could now fight properly and were able to use more than just two moves. Effectively I could use these guys to steamroll any village.
I was also outfitting the 100% loyal ones with sharingan. Kabuto had provided me with all of orochimarus experimental data. Most of it was cruel but I didn't have to do any research as he already did it for me. Using hasirama cells I could effectively clone the sharingan. Basically I was building a cheat like ninja army. Of course it was a long process so only the super strong got sharingans. Cloning things takes much longer than a day guys.
But imagine this shit, jiraiya with a sharingan. I had that old man fully master sage mode too since he just did fuck all the whole time I made him train. Spy master my ass. The whole show he basically got maybe 3 secrets the entire time. orochimarus bases you say? sadly I know where all of them are and I've been stealing from him this entire time. What's the akatsuki up to and why are they doing it? I know that shit too. What are the other villages doing? They are weaker than me, so why should I really care? plus I had infiltrated most of them at one point easily.
The fuck you doing taking 6 months for one report? I mean basically the sand no longer exists and the leader of the mist is my wife you've got what? Like two and a half more villages that really matter? Waste of time my friend. My faceless men were 100x more reliable.
I have my own little elite group going well. Kimimaro and Pakura are my person bodyguards I'll probably add Guren aswell. Orochimaru really wastes people talent man and for sasuke? pfft. I've had kimimaro trained properly and taught him some jutsu so he doesn't have to always rely on just his bones. pakura also went through retraining and learned new moves. I mean it's pretty stupid when you fight someone and everyone already knows what you can do. 'Wow its pakura of the scorch release I wonder what kind of moves she's going to use?!?!? Scorch release moves?!?! No way!'
Yeah we can't have that with Minato around he was inventing jutsu left and right he had never had so many things to work with for information and he had spent years studying in my mental scape. now what will happen when you give him scrolls of tons of arts and almost unlimited time? You get tons of new jutsu to instill fear upon your enemies.
A lot of the other girls were taught medical skills, new jutsu, advanced Chakra control exercises, proper taijutsu and even started to come up with their own styles. I mean with shadow clones the sky is the limit you can have them study while your sleeping. of course we made sure not to overload them and had breaks and such all work and no play isn't any fun and people need time to relax.
of course all the food and stuff required for a hidden village in my kamui and equipment didn't come cheap. I hunted down towns of bingo book missing ninjas for bounties using clones. I had clones learning how to make items and blacksmithing. Clones learning more fuinjutsu for scrolls. I had taken all the uzumaki clan masks and even raided the village for any left over items. we found a survivor of the clan named honoka and killed some giant summon beast. Recruiting her for the kamui world she was excited to see members of her clan like Karin and Kushina. The village of the whirlpool contained all sorts of hidden scrolls only uzumaki could find and unlock we made quite a killing searching it.
