Obsidian release

'What has Akuma learned and what are we trying to piece together from the internet?' I ask Rebirth.

'Akuma has learned the steps for Earth release: Hiding like a mole jutsu. Earth release: Earth wall jutsu, Fire release: phoenix flower jutsu, fire release: fireball jutsu, water release water wall jutsu, water release water bullet jutsu, substitution jutsu, transformation jutsu, and the clone jutsu. We have the official hand seals for several other jutsu coupled with my computation skills, and a new unique view of the world and its energies through your soul and bloodline. I'm sure we can figure this out.

'Prioritize figuring out the shadow clone jutsu, Earth release: Hiding like a mole jutsu, replacement jutsu, sticky cement jutsu, earth release earth wall jutsu…. Scan local fauna for chemical makeup. Prioritize healing, and stimulants, note possible combinations, run simulations on possible effects. Compile fuinjutsu knowledge, and develop seals useful to building my body, mind, chakra network, chakra control, computer applications, and to build my drones again.' I interrupted.

Establish a folder on Naruto universe everything I've ever read or seen about the show deep dive. Prioritize timelines major events characters, bloodlines, Otsutsuki, Ten tails, tailed beast, jinchuriki, the sage of six paths, Kaguya, Zetsu, Akatsuki, Summoning impure world resurrection. , Wood release, first Hokage, Uchiha, Rennigan,.....'

I continued to list off important names, and such out of my memories as I reached the wall of growth separating me from the interior of the forest. I channel chakra from the pit of my stomach down my arm forming an obsidian machete in my hand. The sensation of using chakra for the first time was amazing. Like this high pressured jet stream of malleable water. As it passed through my bodysuit brought a cool sensation. The blade in my hand, over a foot and a half long. As thin as a cicada's wing. Was nearly weightless. As it Laying my palm it was as if I had truly become one with the blade and it was my arm.

But much more than that was something that even Akuma had never experienced. As soon as the obsidian formed a new partition in my mind was suddenly available to me. Everything within 150 ft of me was now represented by varying sizes of light in my mind. Their chakra, or life energy. I wasn't sure which. But I knew without a doubt that ten feet to my right was a highly venomous tree snake, 4 feet above me to my right was a nest of spiders numbering in over seven hundred. About 60 feet up and 90 feet to the north was a small family of what seemed to be a parrot of some kind.

'Rebirth, it seems our fusion with Akuma also further mutated his bloodline. He had barely any chakra sensing abilities, but now I can see everything clear as crystal for a hundred plus feet.'

'Most likely scenario is the influx is spiritual power or soul strength, evolved Akuma's existing spiritually related abilities.'

I lazily slashed at the seemingly impenetrable wall of thorny vines, the blade passes through everything as if I had slid it through the water. Obsidian even on my home Earth, was the sharpest substance known. So sharp that it causes damage on the molecular level. And unlike Guren's crystal release. Akuma's was naturally black and resembled obsidian almost to a T. Only it had a denser molecular structure making it much stronger.

I continue to slowly cut my way into the forest. After half an hour of near-constant uphill battle against the underbrush, I finally find a game trail. Not only that but I hear water to the south. As I head in that direction the ground begins to level off and the size of the game trail captures my attention. I'm nine, so not all that big. But I can walk upright and have a foot plus on each side.

So maybe some large game deer, boar, something like that. Such naive thoughts didn't last long however, coming across a large tree with large gouge marks in the bark more than 7 feet off the ground put a stop to them quickly. A large predator cat most likely.

Keeping my head on a swivel, scanning lower branches for carcasses, or worse predator eyes. I continue making my way to the sounds of falling water. It doesn't take long before I enter a large clearing in the center 60 ft. In diameter, a clear blue pond. Feeding into it was a gentle waterfall from a gradual cliff face. The pool then fed out into a creek bed 30 feet across but that only had around 4ft. Of water.

Looking into to calm waters I see my new body in person for the first time. I have deep blood-colored hair. It is straight and hangs down to my shoulder blades freely. With a bang going down the left side of my face ending at my chin. My face is young, considering the original Akuma was only nine.

That's to be expected. What's unexpected was the new thin purple scar in the shape of a reaper scythe on both ends of a zigzagging shaft above my left eye splitting my brow with the bottom blade, and angled in a slant. Below the new scar were the eyes that set Akuma aside from everyone else. Black sclera with vibrant amethyst iris.

These eyes were of great interest to me. They were a dojutsu that hadn't existed in cannon. Unlike other dojutsu, they hadn't manifested any chakra-related abilities. They could however see perfectly in the dark, and see in thermal. Which came with the ability to see people through relatively thin objects such as walls.

My tan young face had sharp sword-like eyebrows and a strong jawline. Another cause of jealousy within the younger generation. Being the handsome young master of the main clan.

I stood tall for my age I noticed as I took in the blue kimono with black dragons I was wearing. Already standing at 5'3 and weighing 86 lbs. The size of most 12 yr. Olds. Memories of 'my' father was almost 7' tall, and 250lbs. a beast of a man, and quite skilled with a sword, Kenpachi Uzumaki.

I gathered water from the stream into a bamboo section. That I find downstream. It probably only holds a quart and a half of water but it will have to do until I can collect or fashion something better. I then gather fallen branches and break down small sticks before lighting them on fire with Fire Release: Ember jutsu. A basic camping jutsu taught to young clansmen. It was nearly instinctive, when I wanted fire, chakra molded, and was released.

I shake my head at my child-like fascination. Perhaps this is just what I needed for my weariness. A new life. A challenging life. Mysteries to solve.
