Chapter 2- New Life, New Almost Death Experience

Walking out of my one place of safety, well as much as a cell could be with an abusive landlord. I ran down the road heading towards the Hokage's tower. I knew the man from my memory's quite well. I just wasn't sure how I got so close to the man in the first place.

I mean looking at my memories it's obvious that I met him in the orphanage, and I never questioned that in this life. But if you stop for a second and think, why would a leader of a village take interest in a single child when not a single other kid managed to, the answer was pretty obvious.

Looking at my bloodlines I knew that there had to be a connection somewhere. I also thought about the reason that I got no protection considering that I likely had some heritage to some great clan related to this village in some way. Did he not protect me in order to make me look like a dummy child for the "real family" while letting the village harass me. Did somebody want to kill me in secret or something?

Quickly shooting down that idea I knew I would have died as a baby if that was the case to cover any cases by any power that may hate my family. Maybe it was just the obvious answer of the Hokage leveraging me in someway to Establish his position. On another hand, since I was part of some super family I likely had protection. It seems however for me that the protection doesn't extend to people of similar strength of myself, well that and villagers.

Likely they used me as a constant sort of honey trap to kill off some lower ranked shinobi that had really low intelligence. Still why did they use me a kid with a bloodline to do such a thing. One wrong mistake and I would be gone. Also none of this explained why the village hated me with such a passion. Maybe my family was part of some kind of open secret. That's one good reason why so many people hated me.

Trying to speed up to the Hokage tower so nothing happened on the way there; my instincts informed me with a sudden slap on the wrist that today was just going to be a pain. Looking to my left, sure enough out of a bar a couple of men walked out as drunk as could be. Looking at the fake stumbling that was just plain bad acting, and feeling the killing intent I couldn't help but curse all ten generations of my luck.

Feeling helplessness in the face of this situation, I wondered why boy never attacked back? Looking at my memories it was obvious I had just let the people I considered adults attack me so nothing would trouble the Hokage. But looking even further back I found something disturbing. A couple of older shinobi had told me not to fight back for the Hokage's sake, and me being a child didn't consider that a problem at all. On top of that they had told me this without a blink in consideration that it could be bad for my own survival. Obviously they didn't like me that much either.

"I mean sure, if I attack them they would probably start hunting me in larger groups, and...." that stopped me cold in my tracks. Well now I knew why for multiple reason's why I hadn't done anything. If it was unacceptable to fight, then my third and only option with my lowered wisdom was running. This might draw in bigger crowds for a Demon Hunting Party, but not as large of one as fighting back would create.

With that I took off as fast as I can pumping chakra instinctively into my legs as I ran.

*Chakra Enhancement*- Lv.1/00- Each level of this skill adds 4 str, vit, dex, and enables the user to perceive things 5% faster. Cost is 1 Chakra a second.

Pumping more chakra consciously now into my legs and eyes I got two more notices. Pushing a bit into my arms as well I received a third.

-Chakra Dash- Lv.1/10- Each level of this skill allows the user to move 10% faster. Cost is 5 Chakra a second.

-Chakra Perception- Lv.1/10- Each level of this skill allows the user to perceive things 20% slower. Cost is 5 Chakra a second.

-Chakra Muscles- Lv.1/10- Each level of this skill allows the user to use 10% more Str. Cost is 5 Chakra a second.

Interesting I couldn't help but mumble. Doesn't that mean I could use it on my mind as well. Trying it I felt a part of my brain bust, literally. Stopping and falling over from the sudden pain, I clutched my head as blood started to pour out of my nose. Looking at my Hp. I noticed it dropped 500 from the fall alone. I had almost killed myself. Obviously intelligence was not longer my strong point.

Fate chose that moment to bite me in the behind as one of the men had finally caught up to me, and with me still clutching my head in pain I was unable to get away at all. This was going to be terrible. I could already tell. Sighing I resigned myself to my fate. Then I felt something helping me. Something while dark on the outside, was probably the purest thing I had ever felt in years on the inside.

Slowly I felt my brain recover not from my gamer ability, but from another source. The cosmetic effect was healed by some outside, yet inside force. I remembered the Jinchuriki option in my status. Most likely that was the cause of my healing what ever that meant. Deciding to try and figure out the situation another time I looked back at the source of my troubles and felt a little angry at being caught. Still even in this situation my mind was calm and collected. I knew I couldn't fight back, even if I wished with every part of my arrogance to do so. Thankfully I could once more at least try to run with my recent healing, and I knew they probably wouldn't expect me to get up so fast.

. It was at this moment behind me when I had turned and started to run that the other man showed his face cutting off all my ways of escape. I realized something at this moment. My luck, that stupid hidden stat I found out about later in my last life was likely, really, really low in this life.

Thankfully for the beating that was about to take place I heard a ding as the rest of my healing finished up.

"Host has managed to discover Jinchuriki skill, Biju Healing Factor."

-Biju Healing Factor- Lv.2/10- The Biju can only heal for now 10% of all damage you incure every level of this skill. Note that if the Biju runs out of usable chakra this skill stops working. 999,999,975/ 999,999,999 Cp.

That was a hint for my perk I noted to look into later. What was a Biju, and what kind of power did it have to have that much Cp this new energy source, and what did Jinchuriki mean. The thought admittedly made me nervous and excited. I couldn't wait to explore this new path, but first I needed to look out for my current situation.

Seeing only one way to escape this situation I placed my hope on it and took the chance. Putting as much chakra as I could into my legs I jumped towards a neighboring roof. Sure enough two things happened. One I got a skill. Two well lets say limp is a understatement of the damage. It looked like my legs were both noodles. Thankfully I did succeed in my plan and made it to the roof of the neighboring building out of my dangerous predicament. Going into my settings I turned off and on my cosmetic effects allowing all my blood and injuries to disappear without having to rely on my healing.

My Hp, however was down to 290. Seeing the stop in my healing and knowing that was not 20% of the damage I had most likely received it made me realize that the Biju was somehow connected to me at all times, and secondly it thought I was fully healed. Thankfully I learned this now and not later on in some future battle. Looking at my new skill I just smirked. What was this Leap Frog based skill? (I have no rights to this game. Do not sue. Just using this name for entertainment purposes without profit.)

-Chakra Leap- Lv.2/10- Every level of this skill lets the user jump 5 feet higher for every level of the skill for every 100 Chakra put into the skill. Warning, Excess chakra can cause harm if the body is not strong enough to handle the strain.

Finding this kinda unique I made my way roof to roof of each house on my way to the Hokage's office.
