บท 221: NLS231-240
Chapter 231
"Damn it Kakashi sensei!" Naruto cried out, "you can't just leave! What
about training! We need to prepare for the chunin exams!"
I shrugged, "I can train you if you like."
"What?! Are you serious Yami?!" Naruto did a total 180, going from
angry to excited in seconds.
"I have a month off, I don't mind," I shrugged, noticing Sakura and
Sasuke looking curious as well, "I can help all three of you if you want."
"Y-you wouldn't mind?" Sakura asked, sounding unsure.
I nodded, "you're a team, it wouldn't be fair if only one of you got
training. Besides, Kakashi sure as hell won't be training you."
"Yeah! What kind of sensei is he! He never trains us!" Naruto
grumbled.
I shrugged, "it's not his job to train every aspect of your life, that's a
master's job. You're his genin students, meaning it's your job to pester
him for training, not the other way around."
Sasuke grunted, "is that what your sensei did?"
I shrugged, "Ko sensei was a lot nicer about it, but yeah. If we wanted
something we needed to ask him, or tell him where we wanted help. In
this world things won't be handed over to you, you need to take it.
Within reason of course."
They were silent for a long time, digesting my words. Finally though
Naruto spoke up, "so Yami! What are you going to teach us first?!" that
got their attention.
I smiled, "well that's simple, I'm going back to the the basics, chakra
control."
"What?! But that sounds so boring!" Naruto whined, "can't you teach us
something cool?! Like a new jutsu?!"
I raised an eyebrow, "boring is it? Well then, tell me," I jumped away
from them, a good fifty feet. I pulled my hand back, channeled chakra
into it and brought it down onto the ground.
KRAKOM!
The ground around me broke apart, the genin were so scared they
leaped away, but I kept the destruction localised, creating a crater
twenty feet wide and 8 feet deep.
I leaped out of the crater and landed before them holding my dusty fist,
"was that boring?"
Naruto gulped as Sakura looked horrified and Sasuke looked down
right afraid. "H-how did you do that?" Sasuke asked.
"I channeled chakra into my arm and let it out the instant before impact.
But it's dangerous, extremely dangerous, like a rubber band. Let go too
soon and you'll hurt yourself, too late and you'll hurt yourself. You need
near perfect chakra control for this, so….do you still think that's lame?"
They shook their heads so fast I thought it would fall off. I smiled,
"good, now," I turned back to the crater ad began going through seals
ending with dg, "Water Release: Rampaging water!" I spat out a large
glob of water from my mouth filing the giant puddle up to the rim with
water.
"The second chakra control exercise I'm going to teach you is water
walking," I explained as I began walking on the water surface, "the
concept is similar to tree walking, except it's a lot harder because you
need to account for surface tension and the water movement. Do this,
and you'll find yourself wasting less chakra and being more precise."
"Cool," Naruto blinked.
"Thanks, now, Sakura, why don't you go first?" I suggested moving
away.
"Me? But why me?" she asked blinking.
"You have the best chakra control out of all three of them," I shrugged
as I stepped onto dry land, "you'll probably get this the fastest."
Sakura nodded as she slowly stepped forward, putting one foot on the
water and then another. She was shaking, trying hard to keep herself
from falling, before finally she stood perfectly still on top of the water.
"Good job Sakura!" Naruto cheered loudly for his girlfriend.
I nodded, "good. Now the rest of you try, and when you're good enough
to run on water we can begin training in other areas."
"How will this help me?" Sasuke asked, "I understand Sakura and
Naruto, but why me?"
"It'll help reduce the amount of chakra you waste when using the
sharingan," I told him, "meaning you'll be able to use it for a longer
time. That good enough for you?"
He practically teleported over to the sink hole I made, trying his best to
walk on water, but instead sinking into it, "keep trying," I encouraged
him, he nodded and pulled himself out before trying again.
Soon Naruto also joined, Sakura stayed dry and stood over them,
giving them helpful tips and encouraging them both. Naruto and
Sasuke were competing again, good, maybe they might learn this by
the end of the day.
I took out a book on advanced seal making my Jiraiya and laid back
and began to read, might as well do something to pass the time.
Around noon though I was interrupted. "Yo Yami!" I lowered the book to
see Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke all standing perfectly still on the water.
Naruto grinned brightly while Sakura smiled and even Sasuke looked
satisfied.
"Walk," I told them, and saw them easily do the task. I smiled, "alright,
what do you want to learn?"
"A new jutsu!" Naruto cried out.
"C-could you help with my taijutsu?" Sakura asked.
"Do you know any fire jutsus?" Sasuke asked.
I nodded, "alright," I made three clones, "each clone will help you out.
But they will only last for about and hour and a half, so try to make the
most out of them."
"You're not going to teach us yourself?" Naruto asked.
"No," I told him, "I have to be somewhere else," besides, if Gaara
hadn't made a move yet knowing his impulsive nature then he might
not do anything just yet, Naruto was in the clear.
"Oh...okay! Bye then!" Naruto cheered as the clones took each one
aside and began training them.
I left the training field and headed to the hospital. I managed to get the
doctor to allow me access to the medical library, being a tokubetsu
jonin gave me special privileges like this.
I took up books on body modification and on mutations, reading them
up quicker then a fat man eating pizza.
Two hours quickly went by, meaning my clones had already dispelled.
It seems my clone had Sakura go through medical texts in the library
and chakra control exercises to improve her control, meaning he
wanted her to get a head start of her super strength training.
Naruto had learnt two more wind jutsus from me, though I made sure
he understood how important it was for him to learn them properly. And
Sasuke had also learn two fire jutsus, though he was more
understanding and patient when I taught him, which was odd for him
Around four though I began to noise powerful signatures approach me.
Several off them. I took a peek and noticed an ANBU mask wearing
individual looking at me. Ah, so Root finally caught on.
Medical knowledge, Lv- 11 (9%)
Your knowledge about the human body.
Chance of success- 55%
I managed to level up my medical knowledge by one, I was just about
to continue when I felt another powerful signature approach, this
caused the Root members to scatter.
I looked over and saw an ANBU member leap over to the hospital,
climbing to the window near me and pushing it open. He was a Wolf
mask, "the Hokage asks for your preakness."
I raised an eyebrow, could it be about Danzo? Neah, no proof. I
nodded, "I'll be there," I put the books away into my inventory, the
ANBU made no comment on it, by now the upper brass new of my
storage seals and sort of just went with it.
I took off, leaving the ANBU in my dust. I reached the Hokage's office
and entered through the door. "YOu wished to see me Lord Hokage?" I
asked stepping inside.
"Ah, Yami, yes, come in," Hiruzen motioned me inside.
I stood before him, "sir."
"Yami...I require you to tell me the truth to this question I am going to
ask you," he said seriously, "have you had any contact with Danzo?"
Shit.
Chapter 232: Snake Hater
Alright time to put on my poker face, I planned for this, time to stick to
the script. I nodded, "yes sir. Elder Danzo approached me last night."
"About what?" the Hokage asked.
"He wanted me to release the Sanbi into his possession so that he
could seal it away," I told him.
The man's eyes widened, "w-what?"
"He wanted me to betray you and give Yagura to him. He was planning
on placing the Sanbi into one of his men. He confessed so much to
me."
"And what did you do then?"
"I broke his arm and kicked his balls," I grinned.
The Hokage blinked, "I see... and where is he now?"
I blinked, "what do you mean?"
"Danzo has gone missing, you were the last person to see him
alive...and you just admitted to assaulting. So where is he now?"
"I-I don't know. I just left him in the park, I walked away. I was going to
tell you but then...he..."
"What? He what?"
"He said it would be pointless. That you would never believe an Uchiha
over him," I looked ashamed, "he said he had powerful allies who
would make life hell for me...I suppose that's why his men have been
following me around all day."
"His men?"
"Root," I told him.
"They are still active?" Hiruzen hissed, "Yami, do you think you can
identify these men using your chakra sensory skills?"
I nodded, "yeah, it'll take a while, but I'm sure I can do it."
"I see...very well. First go to the T&I department. I have readied
Yagura's cell for them, they'll begin the process of breaking the
genjutsu immediately. After that report back here for an S rank
mission," he said dismissing me.
"Right," I took off, running out the window and jumping across the
village to T&I. I was met by Ibiki who lead me to an underground cell.
The room was covered with seals of several kinds, I was actually
impressed by how complex they were.
In the middle of the room was a metal box with a chair inside of it.
"Place him in there," Ibiki said as he opened the box for me.
I nodded and opened my inventory, taking Yagara out for the first time
since I kicked his ass. I placed the limp body on the chair and
immediately the metal box snapped shut, I heard several locks click
close as seals grew on the box, pushing Yagura's chakra away and
sealing him shut.
Only Yagura's head was exposed, the rest of the body tucked inside.
"What happened to him?" Ibiki asked noticing his stump of a leg and
the several burn and broken bones across his body.
"Me," I replied, "can this keep a biju down?"
Ibiki nodded, "it should. As long as he is in his human form the seals
will hold. But if he transforms, that's another issue. But it should be
fine, he won't wake up and even if he did the box he's in will activate
and kill him."
I nodded, "good...oh and if anything does happen, call me," I gave Ibiki
a fanged dagger, "throw it and I'll be there in seconds."
"Right," Ibiki nodded as he pocketed the dagger.
"No problem," I nodded, "say is Anko around? I haven't seen here in
awhile."
"She's preparing for the chunin exams," Ibiki replied, "she's one of the
protectors."
I nodded, "right. Anyway, if you see her tell her I stopped by. Later," I
took off in a flash, reappearing the Hokage's office, which now had
more people in it. It seemed like the entire ANBU force.
"Good, you're back," the Hokage nodded, "these will be your
companions," he motioned to them, "you will lead them to the Root
members you sensed. Until the end of this mission Eagle will be
incharge."
Eagle stepped forward, "long time kid. You ready?"
I nodded, "good to see you too Eagle. I'm fine, thanks for asking."
"When you encounter their base you are to burn it all to the ground, is
that understood?" Hiruzen said with narrowed eyes, "gather any vital
information you can and capture if possible. If not...eliminate them."

Do you accept?
Y/N?
I selected yes and immediately we took off. I widened my senses and
felt the familiar signature that had been tracking me all day gathered
underground.
"They are underground," I told Eagle as I lead them to a sewer drain,
"deep underground."
"Yami take the lead," Eagle instructed, "Pume, Spider, Rat, Frog and
Panda, stay out here and make sure no one tries slip out."
"Panda? You have a rookie on board?" I asked surprised.
"He's decent enough," Bear shrugged.
"Right, let's go," Eagle prompted.
I took the lead as we jumped down, landing softly, using waterwalking
to make sure none of the disgusting water gets on our person.
I lead them through the maze of sewer tunnel for what felt like two
hours. It got difficult to breath at times, but I managed to use a wind
jutsu to keep myself fresh, and following me lead several ANBU did the
same.
I used my sense to go down deeper and deeper, and finally, the tunnel
opened up to a great big collection tank that had a tower going under in
the middle of it with several burdge moving to different tunnels all along
the walls.
'Here,' I motioned with my hands, pointing out to a group of masked
ninjas gathered around the base of the tower.
Chapter 233
'Let's go,' Eagle motioned as the ANBU took off, leaping into battle. The
Root immediately noticed them, they tried to escape b their exits were
covered by at least two ANBU members.
The sound of steel hitting steel rang through loudly, I watched as the
ANBU fought tooth and nail against the Root. I sighed, might as well
give them some help.
I created a hundred clones, each with 100 CP, they then took off,
targeting Root members when their backs were turned, allowing them
to beat them unconscious or slap a superior seal on them.
While most were skilled enough to break out of the seals, they then
had to face both my clone and an ANBU member, so slowly, if not
captured, the Root members were killed.
I waited until my chakra came back before I made another hundred
and then repeated the process until the Root was taken care off.
"Good job team," Eagle replied, "begin searching these tunnels, I'm
sure we'll find some useful information around here."
'Like information about Danzo's body modifications?' I wondered. I
need to get that info before anyone else does. Or else it will be a pain
in the ass.
"I'll help out," I called out as I went through the swift release.
"That's really not a problem Yami-" Eagle said, but before he could
finish I had vanished in a blur of speed, going a 100 times faster than
anyone else.
I looked through the tunnels, this was a once in a lifetime chance. I
went through several rooms, on looked like barracks, one looked like a
lab and the other a library. In the library I searched through the scrolls
but didn't find any personal files.
I was almost about to give up before I found a med bay near the end of
the last tunnel. I knew this was it, Danzo had to have some sort of
record. I looked through the locked files and found a sealed folder with
Danzo's name on it. The seal however was complex, it would destroy
the information if forced open, luckily, I was a seal master.
I put the file away in my inventory and then began to gather everything
into a bag, the library scrolls, everything I could find. I then brought the
bag to Eagle, who was moving in slow motion, h had made it halfway
across the bridge.
I stopped the jutsu, he looked at me in surprise, "Yami? What-"
"Here," I tossed him the bag, "I gathered everything I found and put it
away in this bag. You should double check, just in case I missed
something."
The ANBU were impressed, "right" Eagle nodded, "you should go back
to the Hokage, tell him we're done over here. Good job Yami."
I nodded, quickly leaving the sewers, this time finding my way out a lot
faster than finding my way in.
The next day:
After the mission I was dismissed and I spent entire the night in my lab
unlocking Danzo's files. It took some time, but I managed to do it,
learning over all the details that were stored inside.
It seemed Hashirama's cells were something of a wanted item for
Konoha. Ever since the First died they have been trying to regrow
Wood release into another people, but after all the test subjects died,
with not even a single success they shut that down.
Officially anyway.
Danzo got Orochimaru to make this arm for him, the cells apparently
have regenerative properties, allowing the user to heal faster. But not
only that they also provide the user with increased stamina and chakra
flow, allowing someone like Danzo, who was aged and old, to use ten
transplanted sharingan eyes, which Kakashi himself, a jonin at his
physical peak, could only use one, and still it would be too much of a
strain for him.
The wood release is something I have too, but unfortunately I never got
a chance to train in it. With the war in Kiri and the watchful eyes I never
got a chance, but now, with my private room, maybe I can begin again.
Let's see if I could possibly pick up on some on the First's 'vitality' as it
were.
From what I understood having the wood release allowed one to do
three things in particular;
Control a bijuu
Wood control
Increased vitality
I haven't yet experienced the vitality part, so maybe it's something
unique only to Hashirama. Or rather, the spirit living inside Hashirama.
Asura Otsutsuki...the second son of the Sage and the man that
inherited the Sage's body. Hashirama was the reincarnation of that
man and so was Naruto...damn, I never realised that.
Madara and Sasuke was the reincarnation of Indra, Asura's brother
and Madara by combining Hashirama's own cells with his own
managed to unlock the Rinnegan...could I possibly do the same?!
The factors were confusing, the pieces however were there! To unlock
a Rinnegan one needed to have the Sage's chakra, that's how it
worked. Either by combining the chakra of his sons, like Madara did
when he infused himself with Hashirama's cells, or receive it from the
sage directly.
There were people who I knew had the chakra of Asura and Indra,
Naruto and Sasuke. And I knew if I asked them, they wouldn't mind
giving me some blood, if I have to I could bribe Sasuke with some
jutsus.
Chapter 234
I could then combine the chakras inside me, the Hashirama cells would
take to my body since I could already use the wood release, that
should count for something right? And since my eyes were sharingan,
Sasuke's powers should latch on pretty easily too!
It could be done...theoretically, but there came problems. One being
time. Madara didn't gain his rinnegan till the end of his long life, I don't
have time to wait so long, the battles I have to worry about are coming
now! I need to speed up the process but how?! How...wait...that's it!
Experimentation! I had ten sharingan eyes from Danzo, if I insert some
of Sasuke's blood into them and then Hashirama's cells in the arms
would help mix the two parts! I can experiment with the arm, keeping it
alive, after all if it worked like Zetsu clones then I should be able to
control it with my wood release right? I wouldn't even need to use
Naruto's blood!
And then I can experiment to figure out how to increase the conversion
rate for the eyes! It's perfect!
But there were several factors I had to account for, like the fact that my
skills in the medical field weren't perfect but….wait...that's it! The +10
skill scroll! If I use that I can level up the skill instantly! I didn't want to
waste it on the skill before, but now if I get a chance to get a Rinnegan
it would be perfect!

Now all I had to do was figure out five wood release jutsus, obtains
some blood from Sasuke and start building a lab for myself to
experiment in.
I had no doubt I won't find a Wood release jutsus in the library, shit like
that was clan secrets. So instead I have to figure out them myself. So
at around 6 in the morning I created a ten clones, each with a thousand
CP and sent them out to create wood release jutsus in training ground
7, since I knew team seven won't be using it today.
I now needed to obtain Sasuke's blood...this would require a personal
touch. The boy was probably awake by now, so I might as well talk to
him myself.
As I left my apartment, I created ten clones and sent them off. These
were instructed to find medica tools that I could use to set up my lab,
things like syringes, chemical testes and even electron microscopes. I
made sure they would be under henges to insure these purchases
wouldn't be traced back to me. I even went so far a to make sure they
only used the money in our inventory, the black money that no one
could track.
I sensed out Sasuke's chakra, it was North, near the Hokage mountain.
I hopped on over and found him near the edge of the Uchiha district,
using the training ground there. He was punching away at a wooden
pole, sweating hard.
"What did the pole ever do to you?" I asked as I landed behind him.
"Yami? What do you want?" Sasuke asked, pausing his training.
"We need to talk," I looked around, it was early in the morning, most
people weren't even awake, but better safe than sorry, "in private."
Sasuke narrowed his eyes before nodding, "follow me," he said leaving
the compound and entering a fancy looking apartment down the road.
"You don't live in the compound?" I asked as he took me into an
apartment on the sixth floor that was well maintained and clean.
"No," was his simple reply. We sat down at the living room, Sasuke
finished a glass of water and rubbed the sweat off his face with a towel,
"now, what do you want?"
"I need...I need some of your blood," I said bluntly.
Sasuke's eyes widened, "what?"
I chuckled, "yeah, should have expected that."
"Why do you need my blood," Sasuke asked.
I had a perfect excuse lined up for that, it was the perfect excuse for
me to gain some blood and fit in with the talk I've been meaning to
have with him for some time now.
I readied myself and spoke, "I think it'll be easier if I just show," I said
as I channeled chakra into my eyes and met his eyes.
Immediately Sasuke's hand reached for his kunai, "please don't' do
that," I reached over and grabbed his hand, "I really don't want to hurt
you."
"H-how?! How do you have those eyes?! There are only two people in
the world who have them and...Itachi?!"
I chuckled, "no Sasuke, I'm not Itachi. I'm me. Do you really think
someone like Itachi would just walk into a village that hates him?"
Sasuke looked at my eyes, "b-but then how?"
I smiled, "honestly? That's what I'm trying to find out," I let go of his arm
and sat back down. I took a deep breath and let it out, "did you know I
actually met your brother?"
"What? Where?" Sasuke asked as he quickly gave me his full
attention.
"It was during a mission," I told him, "I can't give you the details, very
hush hush, but I can tell you that during that mission I had to protect a
client from your brother."
Chapter 235
"Itachi attacked you?! And you lived?"
I nodded, "yeah..barely. He was a monster that man, I swear...I was
going the fastest I could go, and those damn eyes of his still managed
to follow me!" I sighed, "anyway...it was during that time I...I awakened
my eyes. One of my teammates was injured, they got badly hurt, very
badly hurt. The stress got to me, and suddenly...I could keep up with
him. Suddenly, we were evenly matched."
"You awakened the sharingan?" Sasuke asked.
I nodded, "yeah...I did. Itachi himself confirmed this, it wasn't just some
trick or a fake. He was genuinely shocked to see them on me, the
Sharingan...he proclaimed me an Uchiha and...well, kind off left."
Lie Successful!
"H-how?" Sasuke asked.
"I asked the Hokage the same thing. I did some research and found out
that my mother….she was a whore," Sasuke winced, "after the Kyuubi
attack they found my body in the middle of a brothel. The theory is that
my father was an Uchiha that had me with her, but since she wasn't
there to say so, I was just a labeled an orphan and thrown away."
"I I'm so sorry," he said, his eyes filling with pity and hope.
I shrugged, "it's fine. I managed to make a family of my own anyway," I
grinned, "Naruto's not that bad of a little brother, if you get used to the
snoring."
Sasuke smiled, he actually smiled, "this is amazing Yami...you...you're
an Uchiha."
I nodded, "yeah..I guess so."
"So...why do you need my blood?" Sasuke asked.
"I want to know who my father is," I told him, "I know it won't be
conclusive or anything like that, but you're the only other Uchiha I
know, you're the only person I can rely on for any proof of who my
father was."
"Do you plan on stacking a claim for the clan?" Sasuke asked.
I snorted, "no way in hell. If people know that I'm an Uchiha it would be
a problem."
"Why?"
"Because it won't be fair damn it," I spat, "I worked hard every single
day since I was eight to reach the level I am right now! I fought, tooth
and nail for my position and power, I didn't even awaken these damn
eyes until a few months ago and if I tell people I could be an Uchiha do
you know what they'll say?"
Sasuke shook his head.
"They'll say, 'of course he's an Uchiha, no wonder he's such a genius!'
They'll automatically relate all my hardwork and efforts to a clan that
abandoned me, that left em alone and they'll gain all the damn glory. I
refuse to allow that to happen, it wouldn't be right."
"I-I'm sorry," Sasuke spoke, "if anyone had known I'm sure they
wouldn't have stopped at anything to bring you home."
I waved his excuse, "it doesn't matter...they're all dead but...you. You're
the only family I have left Sasuke, you and Itachi...though I don't think
he count," I snorted, "and while I do love Naruto like a brother...I always
wanted a family of my own….just someone I know who'll be there...look
I understand if getting some of your blood is too much, I'm sorry I
asked," I got up to leave, three, two, one and…
"Wait," Sasuke got up.
I turned, "what?"
"How much do you need?" he asked.
"I….are you serious?" I blinked, praying my acting wasn't too bad.
"You're the only family member I have left," Sasuke spoke, "you're the
only one...I'm no longer alone," he walked up to me, and hugged me.
His REP went up to 90
I was so startled I didn't realise he was doing it. I was actually shocked,
but before I could do anything he broke the hug and looked at me,
"anything you want, all you have to do is ask Yami, I'll give it you in a
heartbeat."
I blinked, "I-I...thanks...really..." I need to break this content, too much
emotions! Guilt eating away. "Right then," I took out a syringe and
scalpel I had brought before hand, "just ah, show me your hand."
"What's the knife for?" Sasuke asked as we sat down next to each
other, he presented his arm to me without being asked.
"Since it's highly unlikely you and I are related directly, like a common
grandfather or something, I'll need to be taking some cells, just to be
sure," I took out around 200 ml of blood from him and then cut a little
skin off his forearm. Sasuke winced at that, but I quickly healed him,
relieving him off the pain.
Ping!
You have made progress in a quest!

Sasuke's blood- (1/1)
I put the collected samples away and sighed, "I'll send these to the lab,
hopefully we'll get some results soon."
"I see...please inform me what you find," Sasuke requested.
"I will, thanks...oh and...please don't mention this to the Hokage," I said
with a sigh, "that man was pretty insistent I take up the last name
Uchiha. If he thinks I'm interested he'll try again."
Sasuke nodded, "I won't say a word, I promise. But you know...the
name would suit you. Yami Uchiha...sounds nice doesn't it?"
I chuckled, "yeah, maybe...maybe one day, when people acknowledge
my talents for me, and not because of my blood."
"You do know people already do that right?" Sasuke snorted, "those
Suna ninjas looked scared out of their minds."
Chapter 236
I shrugged, "they should be."
"Yami...how did you become so strong?" Sasuke asked.
I smiled, "I told you didn't I? You fight for a goal, not for yourself. Quite
worrying about the clan Sasuke, if worst comes to worst, I'll take care
of that. Focus on yourself, why do you want to fight? Who is Sasuke
Uchiha if not an avenger? What do you like? What matters to you?"
"Family," he replied, "family matters to me."
"Then maybe, instead of training to avenge a dead one, you should try
and protect the one you have," I smiled, "you're not that alone you
know. People do care about you."
"Like you?"
I nodded, "yeah, I always thought you were kind of cool, remember at
the academy when you challenged me for a fight?"
He smirked, "you kicked my ass all the time."
I shrugged, "it's what I do," he snorted, "anyway...I thought you were
pretty cool then, I do so now. But it's not just me you know. Kakashi
cares for you like a teacher, Naruto sees you as someone he has to
surpass, the village treats you with nothing but kindness."
"Only because of my name," he replied.
I nodded, "exactly. To them you are one of theirs that they failed to
protect. You were a villager of Konoha, and they failed you. So they try
so hard not to fail again. You think all that ass kissing was because
they knew how great the Uchiha were? Please, it's because they
refused to allow on of their own to be alone. That's the Will of fire
Sasuke...that's the reason why I fight. So that good people like that
won't' die in vain...so that people can live being open with one another.
That's the reason why I fight...maybe it should be yours."
Sasuke was silent, clearly I had gotten to him.
"Listen, I have to go now, the sooner I get these blood works in the
better," I got up, "thank you for doing this Sasuke and….it was nice to
talk to someone about this."
"Thank you for telling me," Sasuke nodded, "I understand you didn't
want to but...I will never treat you different because of that Yami."
I smiled, "thanks. Good luck on the chunin exams," I smirked, "trust
me, you'll need it."
Sasuke grunted, "we're ready."
"Glad to hear that. But, just in case," I took out a dagger and tossed it
to him, "if you need my help at any point during the exam, just throw
this, and I'll be there instantly."
Sasuke blinked, "I thought you weren't allowed to interfere."
I shrugged, "we're ninjas, breaking rules is what we do. Just make sure
you actually need my help when you throw it okay? Don't summon me
for something stupid, like a written exam or something."
Sasuke nodded, "I'll keep this safe, I promise."
"Good, alright then, bye!" I then left through the window, making my
way back home.
I then sat down and began working my way through the body
modification books I took from the hospital yesterday. Now since my
medical knowledge was MAX, I already knew all this. It seemed when I
used the skill scroll, the knowledge was just grafted into my mind. How
cool was that?!
About an hour later though I felt the ten clones I sent to create wood
release jutsus pop and their knowledge flooding into me.

Oh….oh! I got it! I figured it out! Well not me me, the clones me!
Wood Release didn't just affect the world around me, it affected me as
well! It changed my cells into nature. Wood is to barbaric a name, it
should be instead called life release or something!
Chakra went into the cells of wooden life forms, like plants and trees
and manipulates them through the water in their cells and the minerals.
My clones took a very scientific approach to this, and I'm glad they did!
This way, my chakra, which was now in the water and earth content of
the wood, was able to manipulate things! And in turn, if I controlled my
own body, I manipulate it as well, controlling the water and minerals in
my own body!
But it wasn't perfect, I would need to change my body into wood itself
for that to happen, which was risky. Luckily though through trial and
error on a shadow clones body, I managed to figure it out! Now I could
transform parts of my body into wood if I had too!
Chapter 237
This however was dangerously close to senjutsu, no wonder
Hashirama was able to use senjutsu even though he didn't have a
summon to teach him. Wood Release was basically senjutsu in the first
place! Instead of using the trees chakra, you're using your own!
But if I train in wood release, I'm sure I can eventually get to a level
where senjutsu comes easily for me...yes...this could work!
I remember one of my clones feeling out the senjutsu chakra in tree
while attempting to control them. He tried to absorb it and in return his
arm got turned into wood. This lead to to the discovery of how my cells
could turn wood and back to normal again. The clone managed to get
his arm back to normal after some time, eventually leading to the
creation of the Great Forest jutsu.
I didn't have enough control to enter sage mode though, the charka my
clone absorbed from the trees was only a fraction, yet in seconds his
entire limb was turned into wood. I'll need to be careful about
this...guess I'll just use it later.
Ping!
You have made progress in a quest!
Obtain a Rinnegan
5 Wood Release jutsus- (7/5)
Nice. Now it's time to begin experimentation. First things first, I need to
be able to manipulate life using my cells, this will allow me to
manipulate the cells in Danzo's arms and sharingan eyes he has.
So I had two clones go out and grab a couple of fishes from the
market. I then began the medical process where I try to resurrect the
fish using medical ninjutsu, but instead of that, I infused my cells with
the fish, allowing my chakra to latch onto the fish's structure and begin
trying to manipulate it.
While I did that the clones I sent out to buy laboratory equipment came
back and began setting up the room. I left them too it and spent the
rest of the day working on manipulating the fish cells using the mystical
palm healing technique and my wood release chakra.
The result was...peculiar.
Ping!
You have invented a new ninjutsu skill!
Cellular Manipulation, Lv- 1 (0%)
By inserting the cells of a wood release user into an enemy, one is
able to control their cells via the Mystical Palm healing jutsu.
CP- 100 per second
Chance of success- 5%
I had created an entirely new branch of medical ninjutsu. I used my
own cells as a medium, controlling it through the mystical palm healing
jutsu, it acted like nanobots, attacking certain parts and changed the
cellular structure.
For the fish, I managed to attack it's broken down cells, manipulating
them through my own blood, turning them fresh once again via the
healing powers of the Mystical Palm Healing jutsu. This caused the fish
to jump back to life, just like one would react after being revived by the
Mystical Palm Healing, but, thanks to my cells interacting with it, I kept
it alive.
Was was breathing air, I used my cells to help the gills mix the oxygen
rich air, the blood kept everything inside in check, forcing it alive. I was
not just reviving him, but keeping him alive!
The first twenty times, I kept failing, over and over again, but I kept at
it, pushing forward. I marinated the jutsu for the rest of the day, I Didn't
even have lunch...or breakfast for that matter. The jutsu needed 100
CP perscond, I produced double that amount, so I was fine.
Eventually, my grinding won out, and I managed to level the skill up
over the course of the day;
Cellular Manipulation, Lv- 6 (40%)
By inserting the cells of a wood release user into an enemy, one is
able to control their cells via the Mystical Palm healing jutsu.
CP- 100 per second
Chance of success- 30%
I then decided it was time to take a break. I have been working for well
over twelve hours, it was time to stop. Plus, it was already fiv in the
evening, the chunin exams began at four, the written test was over by
now, meaning the second task would start soon. Meaning Orochimaru
would be there, meaning Sasuke and Naruto would need my help.
I brought out twenty clones and instructed them to continue to practise
the skill, each had a fish to use, while one had a dead rat, which I
instructed to try and bring back to life. Let's see if the things I can bring
back still have their brain.
I had a large meal, since I skipped breakfast and lunch, and quickly got
ready for the battle ahead.
I knew the moment Sasuke summoned me I would have to fight
Orochimaru, meaning I'll have to fight instantly. So I left my home and
went closer to the forest of Death, I waited a kilometer away and
summoned a clone that began to form a Rasen Nova Blast in the plan
of my hand.
I maintained the blast, stabilized it, and kept it ready. Slowly, an hour
had passed, it was now six, yet Sasuke didn't call for me. Why? Did he
lose the dagger? Or was it because...that idiot!
Chapter 238
He probably thinks I wouldn't be able to take Orochimaru! He's scared,
he doesn't know what to do and Orochimaru seems unbeatable! He
probably doesn't want me killing myself fighting the man!
It's been an hour since he entered the forest, I'm sure by now the
snake would have tried something.
"Take us to Sasuke," I told the clone.
"Right," he grabbed my shoulder and we vanished in a blur of lighting,
appearing in the middle of a forest, on a giant tree branch, right behind
someone wearing a white robe with a giant purple rope.
"What?!" Orochimaru twisted his neck to see me.
"Die!" my clone grabbed the Nova blast as I jumped away. Our reflexes
were ten times faster than Orochimaru's, so the snake sannin didn't
even register us before my clone slammed the ball of energy at the
moron.
Ping!
You gained a critical strike! DMG is multiplied by 5!
40,000 X 5 = 200,000
Orochimaru: 50,000/250,000
I looked around and saw Sasuke and Sakura huddled together, the girl
looking scared and Sasuke looking surprised. I noticed Naruto
unconscious and hanging off a tree branch, a kunai stuck to his jacket
keeping him from falling.
"Why didn't you call me?!" I asked as landed before Sasuke and
Sakura and I sent a clone to retrieve Naruto.
"H-he recognized the dagger you gave me," Sasuke spoke, "he took it
before I could use it! How did you know We were in trouble?"
"I could sense his chakra approach yours," I told him as my clone with
Naruto approached, "it took me some time to notice though," I lifted
Naruto shirt and saw the Five Element Seal he put on Naruto's own
seal. I channeled chakra into my fingertips and struck his body,
removing the seal.
"What did you do?" Sakura asked in worry.
"He'll be fine," I told her handing his body over to Sasuke, "take Naruto
and go, I'll take care of this."
"But-"
"-go! I'll be fine!" I felt Orochimaru's chakra move towards us at a
blinding speed. He was coming for Sasuke again. I removed the Ring
of Stars from my inventory and channeled wind chakra into it.
Just then Orochimaru emerged from a tree branch and launched
himself at Sasuke from behind. I pushed the Uchiha away and threw
the Ring at the snake, manipulating it to hit his mouth, and slice
through it like a knife through butter.
Ping!
You gained a critical strike! DMG is multiplied by 5!
5,000 X 5 = 25,000
Orochimaru: 25,000/250,000
I turned to Sasuke, "go!" The Uchiha gulped and nodded, carrying
Naruto away, Sakura closely following him.
I turned to Orochimaru, I held out my hand summoning the Ring of
Stars back to me as Orochimaru's elongated neck hanged limply on
the ground.
"You can stop pretending Orochimaru, I know you're alive," I snorted.
"Ku ku ku, well isn't this a surprise little Yami, Id don't expect you to
come," out of the mouth came a brand new Orochimaru, unscared and
fresh faced, he smiled his creepy ass smile, "how are you? I heard you
got promoted to a jonin yes? Very impressive."
Orochimaru: 250,000/250,000
Fucking hacker! "Thanks," I shrugged, "now, what's with you and
chunin exams? Can't play in the big leagues anymore? Does beating
up little genin turn you on?"
"Fu, nothing like that Yami, I'm just interested in Sasuke over there,
who you allowed to seep out of my fingers," Orochimaru pouted, "you
really are beginning to become a thorn at my side."
"Well what are you going to do about it gay vampire?"
"Well...maybe you're right, I should just-"
"End you," a second Orochimaru appeared behind me and drove a
sword through my chest. It's came out the other side clean.
The First Orochimaru crumbled into dust as the second one removed
his blade, "you really should have seen that coming my boy."
"And you should have seen this," I came flying through the air, kicking
him across the face as the one that was stab exploded in water.
The Orochimaru that I kicked then crumbled into dust, I turned around
and leaped, landing on the ground where the real one slowly rose up
like a mole hill, "ku ku ku, so you really are a sensor."
I shrugged, "I do my best,"
"Well, then I might have to kill you first before you allow me to chase
after Sasuke," Orochimaru sighed, "such a shame."
"Hey snake boy, before you do that, could you tell me something. Why
Sasuke?"
"Oh? Well it's simple really, it's his eyes," the man licked his lips with
that grossly long tongue of his, "I want those eyes of his."
"Oh? The Sharingan? Well if you wanted those, you don't have to go
after Sasuke," my eyes flashed red, "I can help you with that."
"W-What?!" he gawked in shock as suddenly I poofed into smoke. He
quickly caught of, looking around for the real me.
"Hey gay boy!" I called out from above him as I went through the last
hand seal of my Swift Release jutsus. He looked up and his eyes
widened as he recognized the jutsus, "Swift Release: Speed times
1,000!"
He tried to shunshin away, but I was much faster. I first created two
clones and sent them away into the forest to hide. I then charged up
my fists with chakra, enhancing them. I charged forward and began to
hit the monster over and over again, hitting vital areas like his neck,
groin and head, just like last time;
Ping!

Then I took out trench knives and charged them up with wind chakra. I
charged Orochimaru and cut his neck and fingers;
Ping!

Orochimaru: 106,500/250,000
But I knew he wouldn't die, not if he could still do that molting jutsus
thing that revives all his chakra. So this time I couldn't just beat him up
from the outside, I needed to end him from the inside.
Chapter 239
I cut own my hand and poured my blood into his open wounds, the one
on his neck, groin and chest. I was in the last moments of the Swift
Release when I activated my Mystical Palm jutsu and activated the
cellular manipulation skill I had, ordering my blood to seep into his
body for later use.
I then leaped away and canceled the jutsu as suddenly Orochimaru
exploded in pain.
"ARGH!" he cried out as immediately he molted once more returning to
full health. He panted as he looked at me, my chakra was at 500,
slowly recovering.
"You could have killed me with that little Yami," Orochimaru smirked,
"but now you're dead," he began to move, ready to kill me, but I
immediately activated my Mystical Palm jutsu, taking control of my
blood inside his now sealed body.
Orochimaru suddenly stopped, he looked horrified as he felt my cells
attack his nervous system, cutting the cells in his spine, paralysing his
lower back, "what are you doing?!"
"Buying myself some time," I took out a dagger and threw it at the man,
hitting his chest, "now!" I cried out as I leaped away.
Immediately the two clones I made appeared before him, and held
between them two Rasen Nova Blasts. Orochimaru's eyes widened in
horror, he was unable to move his body, so he was forced to make his
final stand.
His jaw unhinged as his snake form emerged out. The white snake
form whose scales were made of snakes itself. It tried to run away by
digging into the ground. My clones however weren't stupid, far from it.
In fact, this was what they were waiting for.
One grabbed the snake, the other smashed the Rasen Nova Blasts
headfirst into Orochimaru's body. I braced myself, the explosion that
came was powerful enough to knock me off my feet.
KABOOM!
The entire Forest heard that explosion, I was sure of it. There was a
bright light strong enough to blind any Hyuga stupid enough to be
looking at it at this very moment. I felt heat and pushing outwards, the
trees next to me caught on fire instantly as they began to burn away
into nothing.
Ping!
You gained a critical strike! DMG is multiplied by 5!
40,000 X 5 = 200,000
Orochimaru: 250,000/450,000

Orochimaru: 50,000/450,000
That new snake form of his must have increased his HP! Just like the
Sanbi did for Yagura! There's no way I'm letting this fucker get out of
my sight now! He's dead!
I felt this chakra move away and I moved along with it, reaching him in
seconds. "FUCK YOU BITCH!" I cried out as I went headfirst into the
ground, punching it with all my might, causing the ground to splinter
open as his snake form which was hiding inside came flying rock along
with the rest of the ground.
Orochimaru: 43,200/450,000
I growled as I summoned three clones that launched up at him and
grabbed a different part of his body, holding him tightly as I flew
through hand seals, "Scorch Release: Purgatory Tsunami!"
The flames were so hot and wide they engrossed not only Orochimaru
and my clones, which poofed out of existence, but also the surrounding
trees, I might just burn down this fuckign forest, but there's no way in
hell I'm letting the snake go!
Ping!
You gained a critical strike! DMG is multiplied by 5!

Vanquisher of Orochimaru- +50% more effective against snake

I pushed the notifications away and looked around, I was right, I did
overdo it with the scorch release, practically everything was burning.
I immediately formed ten clones to and put out the fires, dosing them
with water. While they did that I searched Orochimaru's corps. It was a
testament to his body's regenerative powers considering there even
was a corpse to check out. Usually my scorch flames would be so
powerful there wouldn't be a body left.
It was charred and burnt, you couldn't even make out it's face
anymore, only the process of it's burnt snakeheads have any sign it
was the same thing.
I noticed the flesh near the head had been the most affected, as it had
gotten the front of the attack. The flesh had been ripped apart and I
could see something light up inside.
Chapter 240
Curious I opened the jaw with a flick and found a blade's handle
sticking out of his mouth.
Kusanagi, S rank
A legendary sword owned by Orochimaru. It's able to grow longer
or shorter based on it's users requirements. Current User: None
CP cost- 50 per second
Durability- Indestructible
DMG- 1,000
Now this was an S rank item! Fuck yeah! I grabbed the hilt and drew it
out of the snake's mouth. It was shaped as a double edged blade of
Chinese design, it's hilt tied off with a blue thread.
I poured chakra to test it growing powers when suddenly I got a new
message:
Ping!
You are now registered as Kusanagi's new owner! It cannot
change ownership unless it is dead!
I saw the ownership trun from none to Yami. Grinned and watched the
sword suddenly lengthen as it grew to nearly fifty feet instantly, obey
my mental command. It then grew short again, almost the size of my
hand. I then ordered it to grow shorter to the length of a dagger, I
quickly tucked it in into my kunai pouch on my hip.
I felt someone rushing towards me, I turned and saw Anko land before
me, her eyes wide in surprise, "Y-Yami?! What are you doing here?!
Did you set his place on fire?!"
I nodded, "yeah, sorry about that, but don't worry, my clones have it
handled," I pointed at my clones, already putting out most of the fires.
"Fine, whatever, look I don't have time to explain, my old master has
come back and I don't have time for this! So either get on board or go
and warn the Hokage! I'm going after him!"
"You don't need to do that," I told her.
"What?! Why?! He ruined my life Yami! If you think-"
"-I meant, you don't have to do that anymore, because he's dead," I
replied.
"W-what?!" Anko looked at me in disbelief.
"It's true," I kicked his corpse, "when you said he was a snake I didn't
realise how true that statement was."
"T-that's him?" Anko blinked, "you killed him?!"
I nodded, "yup," I then took out Kusanagi, "and here's proof. I took it
from his corpse."
Immediately Anko rushed me, grabbing the blade. She looked it over,
checked the handle, her hands shaking, "i-it's real...it's the real blade,"
she looked over my shoulder at corpse, "he's dead? He's really dead?"
I nodded, "yes...he can't hurt you anymore."
Anko walked up to the corpse, she dropped Kusanagi from her hands
and got to her knees. Slowly tears came rolling down her eyes, "it's
over...it's finally over!" she cried loudly and strongly. I was silent as she
did so, I didn't think it was right to say anything.
After a minute she stopped, she picked up Kusanagi and got up. She
smiled at me, her tear marked face looking happy, like a for the first
time a great weight was lifted from hs back, "here," she gave me the
blade, "you killed him, it's yours."
"Thanks," I smiled taking the sword and putting it away, "I'm sorry you
couldn't get revenge...I know how much you wanted it."
"Please," Anko snorted, "it's fine….you actually killed him, damn," she
grinned, as suddenly she grabbed my collar and pulled me forward.
My eyes went wide as saucers as she kissed me on the lips. I froze for
a second before moaning and seeping into the kiss, hungrily kissing
her back;
Ping!
A skill has leveled up!
Kissing, Lv- 4 (50%)
Your ability to please someone through a kiss.
20% satisfaction
+2 REP for the next ten minutes
I whined in annoyance as she broke the kiss, "that's for...well, you
know," she smiled.
"I ah...I...ah…." I blinked, "I don't know how I'm supposed to react."
"Good, I would hate to think I was getting predictable," Anko grin grew
wider. Just then several ninjas showed up, all chunin or higher, "about
time you lot showed up! Where were you?!"
"We are here now Anko, what happened?" a chunin by the name of
Toshi asked.
Anko grinned, "I'll tell you what happened! This man right here just
killed the biggest traitor to the Leaf since Madara Uchiha! May I
present to you, Orochimaru," she spat on the corpse once more.
"That's Orochimaru?!"
"What happened to him?"
"Isn't that Yami? The second Flash?"
I groaned, this was going to be a long day, I just know it.
Several hours later:
It was almost ten in the night now, and I found myself before the
Hokage once more. The man looked at the report in his hands, the one
I spent several hours writing.
He then looked down to Kusanagi, which I kept on the table and the
medical report form the hospital that tested Orochimaru's charred flesh
to find his DNA.
Hiruzen was silent as he placed the document down on the table, "it's
him."
"Yes!" Anko cheered beside me, her smile almost like the sun, "so he's
gone this time?! Really gone?!"
Sarutobi nodded, "yes, it would seem so Anko...congratulations."
Anko's smile didn't falter for a second, "hell yeah congratulations!
Come on Yami! I'm getting you drunk tonight! My treat!"
I chuckled, "I'm pretty sure I'm a minor."
"You're a jounin of the village, old enough to kill, old enough to drink"
Anko grinned, "come on brat! Tonight's a night of celebration!"
"While that's all good, unfortunately I still have need of Yami," Hiruzen
smiled, "but you go ahead Anko, I promise I'll send him along as soon
as I can."
