I looked towards Jiraiya who sighed. "Princess come on don't be petty. The snake bastard maybe be the most unpleasant, repulsive, obnoxious-"
Orochimaru: "…I still exist."
"-Piece of work, but he has a point. Let the kid do whatever…I kind of want it as well…"
Tsunade bit her lip while angrily tapping her finger against her arm before she acquiesced, "Tch, fine do whatever you want."
I raised a brow at that before looking towards Orochimaru. "…I don't particularly care, however, in return I want 2 things from you."
The pale skinned man gave me that patented wide grin, "As long as it is within my abilities…"
I nodded and took a kunai before slitting my wrist. From my inventory, I took out a small cup and collected the blood before my healing factor sealed the wound shut.
"…Fascinating." Orochimaru stated as he looked at my wrist. "Such powerful regenerative capacity."
"…Yeah, and I need you to do a test on whatever is in my blood and compile data on it." I stated.
With an eager look, Orochimaru took the cup, "And your other request?"
"I'll let you know when the time comes."
"That works splendidly." The slitted eyed man replied. "If you are ever interested in helping me with my research, do let me know."
While he mildly disturbed me, I nodded nonetheless. "…I'll keep that in mind." Saying so I walked up to him and gripped his wrist before implanting my seal on it in the shape of a simple circle.
Orochimaru looked at it in wonder before glancing back at me with an unsettling smile, Orochimaru vanished.
"To be honest, I think he would have done you a favor just for your blood…" Jiraiya commented with a smile before his eyes widened and he whipped his head towards Tsunade. "Princess?"
I blinked at his sudden response and turned towards her as well, noting that her body was shaking as she stared at the floor.
At my blood.
"I-I'm ok…" she stated before taking a step back and shaking her head. "In any case, good riddance." Tsunade said as she looked in the direction that Orochimaru left before looking my way. She seemed to struggle to say something before sending a nod of acknowledgment my way. "I doubted you earlier kid so I apologize and…thank you."
Before even waiting for my reply, she too vanished.
I looked at the place she disappeared from with mild confusion. "Was she afraid of my blood? As a medic-nin?"
The white-haired Sannin scratched his head with a sigh before shaking it. "She's been through some rough shit over the years." Saying so, he shook his head once more before asking, "Anyway, about your technique…"
I took out the scrolls I had written my notes on from my inventory and handed it over to him. "That's the process I went through to create it. It'll help if you have good knowledge of chakra theory, the human body, and the traditional Mystic Palm Technique."
Jiraiya smiled as he took them, "No worries kid, I'm the great Jiraiya-sama. Something like this won't take me too long to figure out." Immediately, he continued, "Well I got to go do my own thing." Jiraiya stated before looking my way and smiling. "Later kiddo." And he vanished as well, leaving me here in this bunker alone with a hole in the wall.
"…"
I approached the gates to the Uchiha clan at the edge of the village and walked up to the two front guards who were keeping watch. They suddenly became alert at the sound of my footsteps before relaxing slightly as they saw me approach.
"Halt kid! State your purpose for being here." One of the shinobi on watch stayed.
The other guard looked at me carefully before smiling slightly and patting his colleague on the shoulder. "Relax Genta, this is the kid I talked to you about before, Itachi young Master's friend."
"Eh? Seriously?" Genta replied looking me up and down curiously. "You're telling me he's the one that could keep up with Itachi despite them being of similar age?"
"That's right." The other guard said with a smile before looking at me and waving my way. "Yo Yoru, What brings you here at this time?"
"…Haruki." I stated, looking at the guard. "nothing really, I'm simply here because I have nothing else to do."
"I'm so envious." The man said with a sigh. "I feel like every day I'm wasting away being here. Even my last partner got to do something else."
"I see…" I replied before asking. "Can I come in…?"
"Ah, that's right!" Haruki responded before stepping aside and opening the gate. "Please come in."
I nodded to the two guards and entered the Uchiha residential area before making my way towards Itachi's place. I received some nods here and there from the few people that recognized me since I had been here a few times in the past.
In but a few moments, I arrived at the Uchiha Clan Head's residence and admired it large size for a moment before knocking on the door.
"Coming!" A voice yelled from inside before the door was opened giving view to a beautiful black-haired woman with onyx eyes. "Ah! Yoru? I didn't know you would be here today."
"She's so pretty…"
I nodded my head. "I apologize for my intrusion Mrs. Uchiha."
"No no, don't worry about it." She said with a smile before ushering me inside. "Why don't you come in?"
So I nodded my head and followed her inside before asking. "Is Itachi home?"
She put on a thoughtful expression. "…Last I remember he said he was going out back to train-"
Before she could finish that sentence, the sound of a baby's cries echoed out through the building.
"Oh…" Mikoto stated, looking towards the living room. "It seems like Sasuke's woken up." She then turned back towards me and gave me an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry I can't entertain you any longer, but feel free to look out back."
"Thank you."
She nodded with a smile before heading towards the sounds of Sasuke's cries. "Don't cry! Mommy's coming."
I watched as she disappeared before heading towards the back door of the home. I exited it and admired the largely forested scenery before closing my eyes and focusing my enhanced senses outwards.
I listened for the sound of Kunai impacting wood before making my way towards that direction. As I came closer towards my destination, I could hear the sound of Itachi's exertion and eventually saw his figure in front of me.
His body was covered in sweat yet his gaze remained unwatered as he gripped his kunai before jumping up and tossing them together. At the mid-point of their flight, the projectiles collided against each and ricocheted directly into the bullseye of two opposite target.
Itachi landed on the ground and paused for a moment before throwing a kunai at my direction.
I caught it between my fingers and walked out of the tree lines into the clearing. "…That wasn't nice."
Itachi blinked. "Yoru…"
"Yo." I replied before twirling the weapon between my fingers before tossing the kunai up into the air.
Itachi smiled and tossed his kunai towards mine at a precise angle where they ricocheted and became lodged into the centers of two other targets opposite each other.
"What are you doing here at this time?" Itachi asked as he sat on the ground. "Isn't it quite early for you?"
"I finished my training early." I stated as I sat down next to him. "…Plus I just got out of something important so I'm not really in the mood to go do anything else."
"I see…" Itachi stated before looking up in the sky.
We stayed in silence for a while as we typically did when we hung out. We sometimes trained together but due to my missions as an Anbu member, there wasn't much opportunity for me to relax, so typically I did that when I came here. Besides, this place had a decent view of the clouds.
After a while, Itachi, still looking up at the clouds asked, "… hey Yoru?"
"Hmm?" I replied, laying on the ground, my gaze focused above.
He looked at me. "Do…" he paused and thought for a moment before continuing. "Do you believe that world peace is…attainable?"
"Attainable…?" I stated before my eyes became half-lidded. "…With the current state of this screwed up place, I can't say that I have much faith in humanity to accomplish that."
"Is that so…" Itachi stated, looking back up to the clouds. "…So many people die each day from the war and I've already been sent out to the front lines…" he gripped his fists. "I don't want my brother to grow up in this kind of world or to stain his hands as a child. He shouldn't have to do that…" he paused and looked down towards his hands. "…no one should."
"Hmmm…" I stated, looking at Itachi before looking back up towards the clouds. "…If you're so passionate, then do something about it."
Itachi widened his eyes and turned his head towards me. "…me?"
"Something like world peace isn't going to happen on its own." I replied. "If you want to chase after something like that, then you'll have to take an active role."
"I…" Itachi began, looking down towards his hands. "I'm not sure if I can do that."
"Obviously you of now is too weak to cause any impactful change, we all are." I replied. "…Maybe if you become as strong as Konoha's founders, you would be able to directly impact the world."
"As strong as Hashirama and Madara…" he stated, looking towards me with a sigh. "That's going to be difficult."
"Yep." I replied. "…But if you really aspire for such an ideal world, you will need to be at least powerful enough to take on the entire shinobi world on your own."
He widened his eyes before returning his features to before and looking up. "…Why should it take that much for the world to change for the better."
"Because…" I began, with slightly lidded eyes. "Humans always find a reason to start a conflict. From love to hatred to wealth to women, to even because someone looked at you funny, humans will always find reasons to fight. It's in our nature to fight, so for you to want to stop them from doing that…"
Itachi laid back in the grass. "Why would it be in our nature?"
"Who knows? A flaw in humanities' design?" I replied. "In any case, if you want to go against human nature, you'll need to be ready to fight everyone."
Itachi stayed silent for a moment before asking. "…and what about you? What do you aspire for?"
"What I want…"I began, "Is selfish and simple, but something I have always strived for…"
At Itachi's curious look, I finished. "Strength." I clenched my fist in front of my face. "…I want to be so strong that the very idea of challenging me would be utter foolishness, that even thinking about going up against me would be a sin."
"…why?"
I put down my hand and closed my eyes. "…so that I can live a life with absolutely nothing to control me. The only thing I value above my own life…is my own peace."
Itachi looked at me with a smile. "That is selfish…" he then stayed silent for a moment before asking. "And then? After you become the strongest?"
I opened my eyes half way. "Who knows? I'll probably travel the world or find something else to strive for. I really don't have that much desire anyway." I then paused before looking at Itachi. "And maybe if by that time you still haven't achieved your dream, I will lend a hand."
"Really?" Itachi asked with wide eyes.
"Why not?" I replied, looking back up towards the clouds. "I'll probably have nothing better to do anyway."
Itachi stayed silent for a moment. "Thank you…"
"Hn."
And so we stayed there on the grass looking up towards the clouds and so in my lackadaisical state of mind, I observed them.
"Observe"
Cloud (Cumulus)
Cumulus clouds are clouds which have flat bases and are often described as "puffy", "cotton-like" or "fluffy" in appearance. Their name derives from the Latin cumulo-, meaning heap or pile
"…Good to know."
And so I observed them again.
Cloud (Cumulus)

And again-
Cloud (Cumulus)
Cumulus clouds are clouds which have flat bases and are often described as "puffy", "cotton-like" or "fluffy" in appearance…
And again-
Cloud (Cumulus)
Cumulus clouds are clouds…
And again-
Cloud (Cumulus)
…
I had no idea how mind-numbingly long I decided to stare up at the clouds…
Cloud…
but eventually,
"Ohh that's new…"
Cloud (Cirrus)
Cirrus is a genus of atmospheric cloud generally characterized by thin, wispy strands, giving the type its name from the Latin word cirrus, meaning a ringlet or curling lock of hair.
"Neat…"
Ping!

"That's even neater…"
"Itachi!" A voice yelled out from the distance, causing me to blink.
"I've never heard that voice before…"
Yet, it seemed as Itachi was intimately familiar with it as he stood up from his sitting position and looked towards the direction of the voice.
"Who is that?" I asked
"It's another close friend of mine." Itachi stated before looking my way and freezing.
I raised a brow. "What?"
He looked me straight in the eyes. "Yoru…your eyes…"
I blinked. "What's wrong?"
"They're…glowing."
I paused at that. "Could it be…" Immediately I deactivated Deconstructive Analysis and looked at Itachi. "How about now?"
He shook his head. "No, not anymore. What was-"
"Itachi! I found you!" A feminine voice shouted out before a figure came into view. She had had long brown hair in a ponytail with bangs framing her face and onyx eyes, with a small adorable mole under her right eye.
"Hmm, she's cute." I thought before looking back up at the clouds. "But that bunny cloud tho…"
"Izumi…" Itachi stated as he looked at the girl. "What are you doing here?"
The girl smiled. "You promised we would go around the village today."
Itachi paused. "…ohh."
Izumi sighed. "You know Itachi, I figured you would get so lost in your training that you would forget-" she paused and blinked. "Who is that?"
"Hm?" Itachi asked before looking at me who was still admiring the clouds. "Ahh, this is Yoru, a friend of mine."
"I'm surprised" she stated, blinking. "I wouldn't think you would have any friends besides me. Good for you Itachi!"
"…That's rude."
She giggled before looking my way and giving me a short bow. "Nice to meet you! I'm Izumi Uchiha and one of Itachi's friends. Let's get along!" She finished with a beautiful smile.
"Likewise…" I said as I looked her way before turning my gaze back towards Itachi with a smile. "…I didn't think you had it in you to get such an adorable girlfriend and at such a young age to…good for you."
Itachi looked at me startled. "Well, she's not my…"
"G-Girlfriend…" Izumi replied, placing her hands on her flushed cheeks.
Itachi looked at her before looking back at me with a sigh. "…Why do you do this?"
"Trust me…" I said, standing up and dusting myself off. "You'll definitely thank me one day."
Itachi blinked. "Where are you going?"
"Well…" I said, looking at Izumi who was still in her own world before looking back at Itachi. "…It was nice hanging out, but you made a promise to a woman so you have to honor that, besides…" I said, looking towards the distance. "I've spent some time here and still have another trip to make…"
"I see…" Itachi stated before he blinked as I lent him a hand and pulled him up. "…Thank you."
"No worries." I said before looking towards a certain direction of the Uchiha clan district. "Well, I'll be off."
Itachi nodded and turned towards Izumi so I Body Flickered to my next destination.
I stood in front of the door of a relatively small apartment that was part of an apartment complex near the edge of the Uchiha clan residential area. I looked at the house for a moment before raising my hand and knocking on the door a few times and waiting.
"I'm coming!"
Immediately the door opened giving view to a boy with black eyes, short black hair, and a pair of orange goggles resting on his forehead.
"…Yo, Obito."
Obito blinked and looked at me for a moment. "Yoru? I didn't expect to see you. What are you doing here?"
"…I was in the area so I thought I would drop by." I said, tilting my head to get a view of his home. "You mind if I come inside?"
He shook his head with a smile, "Of course not, come in-"
"Ahh, little Yoru! What a surprise to see you here!" An elderly voice stated behind Obito causing us to look at the source.
"Grandma…" Obito stated as he turned around.
I looked at the old woman for a moment before bowing slightly. "Madame Uchiha…I apologize for my intrusion, I came here on such short notice."
"It's fine! it's fine!" The woman said waving me off with a smile. "Why don't you come inside and I'll get you something to eat."
I nodded my head and looked towards Obito who ushered me inside.
"Why don't you two makes yourselves comfortable while I go prepare something." The elder woman said kindly.
"…Thank you. I apologize for the trouble."
The woman just smiled in return and made her way to the kitchen, leaving me alone with Obito who returned his gaze back towards me. "I realize I haven't been seeing you as of late. How's it been?"
"…Fine, but busy." I replied while making myself comfortable on the couch. "I've been working with a few different Fuuinjutsu projects, in addition, to constantly doing missions. I haven't had that much time to relax."
"Is that so…?" Obito asked before scratching the back of his head and smiling. "I still can't believe you can understand that stuff…" he then began to slightly grumble. "Every time I look at a seal I just get dizzy…"
"Hmm…" I replied looking towards him. "Well, it's not really for everyone and while it is wonderful, it takes a lot of dedication. You'd be spending much less time training your skills if you picked up Fuuinjutsu."
"Even you have your own troubles huh." Obito stated before smiling as two plates of spring rolls were placed on the table. "Ahh! Thank you grandma!"
"Of course." The elder woman said with a smile. "I hope you both enjoy."
I nodded in reply. "…Thank you."
She gave me one more smile before looking at Obito. "I'll be going out to get some things, so be on your best behavior while I'm gone."
"Of course!" Obito replied with a huff. "What exactly do you take me for?"
The elder woman chuckled before leaving the apartment.
As soon as his grandmother left the house, Obito grinned as he looked at the food on the table before clapping his hands. "Let's eat!" And with that, he devoured his food.
I watched him gorge on the spring rolls before I liberally took one and popped it in my mouth. "…What are you up to these days?"
Obito looked at me and swallowed his food before replying. "Training, missions, you know…" he said, grabbing another spring roll. "The usual." Then he ate it.
"Hmm…" I stated as I grabbed another spring roll. "Then, how is your love life with Rin going?"
Obito immediately spat out his spring roll and began to cough while patting his chest. He eventually looked at me with a frustrated, but flushed gaze, before sighing. "…It's gone nowhere." He stated while facing the ceiling. "She's so hung up on Kakashi…" he shifted once more. "I don't think I have a shot at this rate. Trust me, I've been trying for years to no avail."
"Hmm…" I thought while swallowing the spring roll. "I guess I can impart into you some of my knowledge about her emotions."
Obito looked at me startled. "You?" He then looked at my face before giving me a twitching smile. "I don't think someone with the emotional capacity of a brick can really teach me much…"
I raised a brow before shrugging and turning away. "…Fine, you can deal with your love life on your own. We all know how well that is going."
And not a moment later-
"Please teach me your ways Yoru-senpai!" Obito stated as he kneeled on the ground and looked up at me with teary eyes.
I rolled my eyes. "…Fine, but first, stop making a fool of yourself."
"Yes!" He stated as he stood up immediately in salute.
I looked him over before ushering him to sit down to which he complied.
"Now…" I began while looking at Obito. "Do you know why Rin is so fixated on Kakashi?"
Obito furrowed his brows before pouting. "…because that silver haired, selfish, emotionless-"
I gave him a look.
He twitched his eyes before chuckling nervously. "I meant Kakashi…" he then went back to pouting. "Because Kakashi is such a great ninja and I guess she likes him for-"
"Wrong." I started cutting him off. At his surprised look, I continued. "Rin doesn't actually like Kakashi as much as you think she does."
He blinked but then exclaimed, "but every time she looks at him there's stars in her eyes and she always scolds me for causing trouble-"
"I get the feeling that you deserve those…"
Obito paused and rapidly shook his head before looking my way. "ANYWAY-" he began while taking a breath. "She always focuses her attention towards him and always praises him." He then slumped to the couch. "I'm pretty sure she likes him a lot."
I sighed. "No." I said, looking straight at him. "She merely has great admiration towards Kakashi but not actual love."
At his startled look, I elaborated. "Every time she praises Kakashi, it is because of his skill and every time she scolds you, it is because of your lack thereof. Am I right?"
He slightly looked away. "Well, you're not wrong…"
I continued. "I've been around team Minato and I have noticed that she doesn't show any form of romantic gestures towards Kakashi."
That was a lie, she definitely had a crush on him.
"She simply admired him as a shinobi, comrade, and friend. Nothing more."
"…Everything More."
Obito's eyes widened. "T-Then what about me?"
I looked at him carefully. "…Of course, she cares about you as well. Just as, if not more so, than she does Kakashi."
"Then why-"
"She treats you like that because she cares you fool." I stated before gulping down another spring roll. "Despite your incompetence, Rin actually has a unique place for you in her heart."
I could sense his emotions spinning before he asked. "Then why-"
"Because of your immaturity, I suppose." I replied, already figuring the question. "Both Kakashi and Rin act in a much more reserved manner befitting their status as shinobi but your boisterousness makes you seem like a child. That's probably why she doesn't show much romantic interest in you. Because of your low maturity."
"I-I see." He said, slumping further into the couch while sighing. "If I was like you and Kakashi…"
"Wrong." I stated, breaking him from his thought process. At his gaze, I continued. "…Don't try to change who you are or it'll come off as forced or fake."
"But didn't you say-"
"I know what I said." I replied before sitting up straight and looking at him. "But changing who you are isn't the answer. Improving yourself is."
"Improving myself…" Obito replied in thought.
"Exactly." I said. "Become the best version of yourself as possible not just in your personality but also in your skills. As long as you don't do anything stupid, I'm sure you can wiggle your way into her heart."
There was a short silence before Obito looked at me oddly. "You know, for someone with the emotional capacity of a toaster, you actually give decent advice…"
It was really all thanks to Empathy or I'd have terrible people skills. "Well, you can choose not to listen to my advice if you feel that way."
He hastily shook his hands. "No, no, no! I'll gladly take your advice Master!"
I took another spring roll and popped it in my mouth before engaging in conversation with Obito about other meaningless trifles.
"Hmm…where to next…?"
I appeared in front of the Namikaze-Uzumaki house and placed my hand ok the side of the door before gaining access to the house. As the door clicked open and I stepped into the house…
"Yoruuu~!" A voice yelled as I saw the short red haired creature run towards me, however, before she could collide with me I picked her up by the scruff of her shirt and lifted her up to eye level. "…Didn't your mom tell you not to run around like that?"
She giggled.
I placed her on my shoulder before looking around. "Your parents?"
She hummed for a moment while playing with my hair. "Mama is out and papa is-"
"Here." Minato stated as he came down the stairs from his room and smiled.
"Ahh, Papa~!" Mito stated as she reached out her hands towards him.
Minato smiled and liberated her from my shoulders before looking at me. "What brings you here at this time? Not that you aren't welcome of course."
"…Nothing really. I just finished a meeting with the Hokage and the Sannin a few hours back."
Minato began to walk to the living room as he replied. "Ah, you're healing skill right?"
I nodded my head.
"And how did that go?" He asked as he sat down on the couch.
"I don't think they expected my show." I replied with a slight smile. "In the end, Lady Tsunade will screen shinobi who have good enough chakra control and are familiar with the Mystic Palm Technique. I'll implant my seal on their bodies allowing them to regrow limbs as well."
"Look at you go." Minato stated with a smile. "Now that you're done with your pet project, what's next?"
I shrugged, "…Who knows? I wanted to work on some spacetime projects but Kushina forbade me from even touching them. I then planned on working on gravity-based seals but your wife was afraid I would create a wormhole to another dimension or something so those projects were shelved since she wouldn't teach me."
Minato shuffled uncomfortably, "Yeah…it must be rough…"
I looked at him in suspicion before deciding not to bother. "The only good thing is that I completed my Kinetic Absorption Seal, so at least I have something new in my arsenal."
"Oh? I think Kushina told me about that one." Minato stated in thought. "She kept explaining how it was such a novel concept to apply to the general Immobilization Seal. Good on you."
"I suppose." I replied. "But regardless, now that I have nothing new to work on, I'll just dedicate all my focus on training."
Minato looked at me in amusement. "Many shinobi more than twice your age are only around your level of strength, yet you still want to push forward."
"Compared to you…" I said, looking at him carefully.

"I still have a long way to go…" I finished as I observed his stats. It was now that I was looking at another person with the Deconstructive Analysis that I noted very small glowing red areas on his body. They glittered like small stars and seemed to be focused around areas that were near normal human weak points were."Those must be his weak points I suppose…"
Minato blinked as he looked at me carefully. "Yoru…your eyes are glowing…"
I shut off my new skill. "Yeah, they do that now."
"I see…" Minato said. He seemed to want to say more but decided not to bother.
"What about you?" I asked. "Now that you've completed your big projects, do you have anything new planned?"
"In the meantime, not so much." Minato replied. "I've had to go on more missions frequently due to the war nearing its climax. It's just…"
I tilted my head. "It's just…?"
Minato looked at me, "Kannabi bridge, you know it?"
"Hmm…" I thought. "Yeah…from what I recall, it's an important supply checkpoint for Iwa in their advance into Kusagakure."
"That's right." Minato replied before sighing. "Over the last few months, with the war intensifying, Iwa has been able to ever so slowly advance due to their occupation of Kannabi Bridge."
I looked at Minato carefully, "And…"
"And in a few months, my team might have to go there." He paused and explained. "While the war isn't necessarily against our favor, the longer we allow Iwa to occupy the bridge, the worse it'll be for us. I plan on taking care of the situation, however not before I train my team a little more."
"I see…" I said, looking towards him. "You really don't have the time to focus on anything else right now do you?"
The blond sighed and leaned into the couch. "Not too much, unfortunately, but hopefully after this war ends, I'll have some more time to work on something new."
I raised a brow, "Kushina will probably be annoyed with you again you know."
Minato chuckled nervously, "What can I say? Seals are just that fun…"
"I can't really argue." I replied
With that, we continued our small talk ranging from his projects to cool jutsu and just about any other mundane thing. That was until Minato looked down towards his lap to see his daughter peacefully sleeping. "I guess she was really tired." He said, carefully picking her up and putting her over his shoulder.
I nodded my head before standing up.
"You're leaving already?" Minato asked.
"Yeah." I replied while loosening my neck with cracks. "I'll probably go harass my teacher or something. I have nothing better to do for the night."
"Alright then." Minato replied brightly. "It was a pleasure to talk with you."
"Likewise." I said before vanishing from the house.
