{Valley of Hell, Land of Hot Springs}
{10:35 AM, 12 April 78 Yrs}
Hiroshi looked at the logs scrolling by, the time skipped quickly as in the simulation the {Basic Storage Seal} quickly leveled up to Max at level 10 which gave an unexpected level up to his {Basic Fuinjutsu} to level 3. After that Hiroshi instructed himself in the simulation to keep trying to master the {Body Flicker Technique} while he tried to think about what he wanted to do.
'Alright I should end my isolation in the simulation, maybe going around the world and scrolling Yugakure wouldn't be so bad, maybe if I was lucky I could hear rumors about Hidan starting his massacre then I could quietly insert myself into the story, and try to start a legitimate business.'
His main reasoning was simple, Hidan was dissatisfied with how Yugakure changed from a small shinobi nation to a peaceful vacation spot, as he slowly got acquainted with the Jashin cult and then became immortal due to being part of an experiment where he was blessed with the 'Curse Technique: Death Controlling Possessed Blood technique'. The cult of Jashin was a cult based on anarchy, each member of the cult was allowed entry into their ranks after they kill an innocent member with a bladed weapon. After that, every kill they make must be through that same bladed weapon.
Hidan choose a scythe as his weapon showcasing that he was already a violent individual, as he got higher into the ranks Hidan's humanity slowly eroded until finally one day he was immortal, in his mind he was the messenger of the god of death and his purpose was to kill. So when he left Yugakure after killing a lot of their shinobi, he wouldn't just hide in some corner to let the heat die down, no he must have continued going from village to village, killing to please his god which led to Akatsuki being hired by the leader of Yugakure to kill Hidan. The situation after that isn't of much concern as Akatsuki would reign in Hidan, but the wake of destruction he would leave in his wake should make it easier for some people to lose everything. That's where Hiroshi thought he could enter himself into the world with a new identity.
'Alright let's first see if I can figure out where the black market around this region is...'
...
[Day 43: You venture out of the Valley of Death and approach the small town where you bought supplies from last time, you didn't have any money so you searched for a job around town. Deciding to forge a new identity for yourself, you took your Konoha forehead protector and slashed the leaf symbol in half. You quickly found one of the more seeder local bars, as you order a bottle of sake you look around, your arrival has naturally disrupted the atmosphere of the place, there were several people who were eyeing your forehead protector. Instead, you ignored everyone and started chatting with the bartender while casually sipping on some sake. A slight sound alerted you to the strike, you tilted your head away before grabbing the offending arm, the kunai held within its grasp seemed laughably slow to your eyes as you looked at the person who was responsible for the strike, seeing no one familiar you bashed your forehead protector with their bare head knocking him out cold. You reached down and searched through the man's pocket quickly finding a purse. You grab the bottle of Sake and dropped a few bills from the man's purse before telling the bartender to keep his ears open and that you were looking for some work.]
[Day 45: Within two days the man who tried to attack you tracked you down to the inn where you were saying, the man wasn't important but you surely recognized the name he mentioned, En Oyashiro. The man extended an invitation to you to be part of Oyashiro's forces, one of his bases of operations was set in Eikai Town and he was always on the lookout for talents to harbor.]
Hiroshi looked at the simulation in surprise, En Oyashiro was a third-rate villain in Naruto, he didn't have a lot of screentime in the original, but given how Orochimaru described him as 'a person with more hideouts than Orochimaru himself'. He was not a part of the main story, and only appeared in the filler episodes toward the end of the Naruto franchise, though the existence of the Chinoike Clan was confirmed in canon, he was one of the only two remaining members of the clan with the other being his daughter. He was an arms dealer, also known as the 'Merchant of Death', and had his own private force, he was a patron of the infamous Coliseum and a collector of the rare kekkei genkai.
'Of course, Oyashiro would be active around this area, it was so close to the Valley of Death, his previous home. I wonder if he keeps tabs on the valley itself but I guess the simulation would reveal that answer to me soon, though being part of his forces wouldn't be much of a problem. He was probably the biggest Arms dealer in the elemental nations, which means that he must have hoarded a lot of fuinjutsu knowledge. I just need to start climbing ranks in his organization, and maybe after showing my aptitude for fuinjutsu... it could work, but I need to tweak my background story a little bit.'
[Day 46: After accepting Takashi's invitation the two of you travel to the nearest hideout, the hideout was underground located about 5 miles south of Eikai Town. It was a small cave system and according to Takashi, it was a small hideout that was recently established and was a branch of a bigger hideout that controlled the North-East region of Yugakure. Each Hideout had its own leader who answers to a leader of a region who then directly answer to Oyashiro himself. As Takashi explained the inner workings of his organization, you arrive in front of No Atsushi, the leader of Eikai Hideout.]
[Day 46: After dismissing Takashi, Atsushi offered you a seat, and you sat down and started talking about some of your background information, you unsealed the entry permit that you had from Konoha. You spun the story about how you were caught trying to sneak into Konoha's archive for books and scrolls on Fuinjutsu, the forehead protector that you have is from a Konoha genin you killed during your escape. Atsushi asked several questions about your motives and reasoning and you managed to turn everything about your fascination with fuinjutsu and how getting access to some basic knowledge regarding seals changed your life. He had you create a {basic storage scroll} before he sent you away.]
'Alright alright, no need to press too much, there is no need to die early by gaining suspicion and losing a chance to get access to a hell of a lot of knowledge.'
[Day 47: After your discussions with Atsushi, you were given access to the hideout for a probatory period of a year, Atsushi also found you later during the day and presented several scrolls to you asking you to report back on your progress in a week. After he left you found that there were 3 complete seal matrixes along with a healthy supply of chakra scrolls and ink.]
[Day 48: You started reading on the basic theories first, your {Basic Fuinjutsu Skill} levels up to 4.]
[Day 49: You started learning your second seal, it took you several tries, and after sustaining some light injuries and burn damage, you managed to create an {Exploding Tag} that could make an explosion big enough to heat a cup of tea. But still, you managed to gain the skill {Basic Exploding Tag}.]
[Day 50: After gaining some success in creating a more powerful exploding tag, you move on to your third seal a two-point barrier seal, the concepts were unfamiliar to you, and you tried to copy past the seal matrix but it didn't work out. After trying for the whole day you called it quits and went to sleep.]
'Forget that one, try the last seal, I think Atsushi must have purposefully slipped it in as a test or something, I should keep the attempts as proof for him...'
'...'
'...Wait a second, does this mean now I would have to choose between learning new seals against maxing out my skills...'
