Chapter 5: Thoughts
BBQ was nice, surprisingly, Dog boy didn't hold out on us, and naturally to repay him for letting us get jumped we ate as much meat as we possibly could. We burnt a sizable hole in his wallet, and after considering how much A, and S rank missions pay out, maybe we didn't. It's the thought that counts though.
At this point I've definitely tossed cannon out the fuckin window, so I'm going to assume 80% of my future knowledge is now useless. In addition I really fuckin hope Kakashi gets over his whole emo phase, and gets with the program. The way I see it he should have gotten his shit together and been like an older brother to naruto considering Minato basically raised him after his father passed. Regardless, it's time to whip this doggo into shape. He needs to be a fuckin good teacher since both Naruto, and I are a handful. Considering i'm not even from this universe, I'm a self proclaimed dumbass, and naruto is a dumbass. Sorry buddy.
While I was lost in my own little world Kakashi had led us to a nice little two bedroom apartment, the very same one Naruto grew up in, just with an extra room. I can only assume this change was made due to me, but who knows. The inside was tidy, and furnished already. Both bedrooms were identically spartan, and empty save for a wardrobe, and a bed.
" Alright rest up for tonight. Since you guys are hurt we will be doing book lessons instead of any ninja related training until you're both healed. "
" I disagree. "
Silence for a moment before a bored look crossed dog breath's face.
" You don't get to disagree. "
" Naruto, and I will be fine by tomorrow morning. Some sleep, and all these bruises will be gone. "
" Haru is right, it wouldn't be the first time somebody threw stones, or kicked, or punched us. "
" Alright then we will do a mix. If it hurts too much I don't care. "
With a shrug he opened the window, and disappeared.
" Good lord, that guy is too much. "
" I dunno, I kinda like him. He seems a bit lazy, but maybe there is a bigger picture we were missing. Maybe some kind of test for us? "
" I dunno, maybe. So who gets which room? "
" Hmmm which one is better? "
" I dunno, they look the same to me. "
Both held their chins as if deep in thought about it before Naruto snapped his fingers.
" The room by the kitchen is clearly better. "
" How so? "
" Closer access to the kitchen of course. "
" Hmmm, fine I'll take the other one then. "
" Wait, why did you give up so easily? "
" This room is closer to the bathroom. Less chance of losing my sleepy if it's a shorter walk. "
" Hmmmmm. Good point. I want that room now. "
" Too late you already called the other one. "
" No! Not fair! "
" Too bad! " Sticking my tongue out and pulling my eye down, I rushed into the room, and collapsed on the bed.
" Stupid! "
" Shut up, go to bed "
" UUUGGGHHH "
The night passed easily, and to ensure I wasn't too sus I healed exactly as much as Naruto did. Now to this point I have a very limited control of my powers. With no system to guide me, or even explain what I'm capable of, it all came down to trial and error. Now it all works based on my thoughts, and my will. If I think about weakening myself it works, but If I slip, and lose control due to miss managing my emotions my full strength will pop out. As it did when I hit that kid. Now I can't quite transform myself yet, if i had to guess why it's due to a lack of biomass. But I suspect that chakra could be spent in its place. Which will be extremely helpful in making this seem like a unique Kekki Genkai. Now for available transformations I don't think I can use all the powers that mercer had, I also think my strain is a little different. First and foremost I do have an enhanced physique. But only on par with a Genin at this stage. More biomass will probably strengthen that as if I recall mercer could rip apart tanks with his bare hands. I am not on that level, or even close.
As I mentioned I think I'm going to be very different from Mercer, and eventually much stronger than he ever could be. Reason being the biomass he absorbed was severely inferior to everything here due to chakra. For now I have a strong healing factor for wounds not made by magic, deep cuts take a day or two to heal, and superficial wounds like bruises take maybe an hour to heal. My stamina is also very high as I've been able to stay awake for a week before getting drop dead tired, with no signs of mental instability. Lastly for defense I basically don't take damage from attacks under a certain level. For instance the old lady's lashings, and the civilian kids' punches. If I wanted to, I could have taken them all without batting an eye. All, and all my overall capability is roughly around a genin. With the Sharingan A little above. A jutsu could easily kill me at this stage, and I doubt my healing factor is at the stage of mercer's who survived a nuke.
Now from my fractured memories I'm sure of a few things, The Peodphile is responsible for my existence, as for how I ended up in the orphanage I have no clue how I escaped his clutches. The good news is I was not marked with a curse mark meaning there's no vestige of his soul within me. More good news: I know some of the things he fed me with, and oh boy are there a few interesting tidbits to explain some of my current, and future abilities. First and foremost sharingan OG OP eyes, next several bits of chakra infused metals, Several plants, and many, many pieces of various ninjas. Now the best part is that somehow that snake freak had the tip of the 8 tails horn, and he fed it to me. Which means while nowhere near Naruto's level, that boy has uzumaki, and the nine tails. But I have like 7 different clans in me. His included, both sides apparently as he's the only bright blonde in the village. Now I don't really know what all this means to me, and I'm pretty sure I'm a genetic freak, but I think this means a really high growth potential. Lastly while Mercer got stronger by consuming it didn't affect, or change his base form. It enhanced his base stats, but he didn't take on aspects of his victims. I however do, meaning perhaps the more I absorb the more my base form will change, and not just my base stats will increase. Also since this ain't a game where I pick and choose I think it's just random.
While most of my rambling to this point was mostly just organizing my thoughts. Training begins today woo!
