The tiger

Very well it looks like I'll be staying for awhile longer. I better improve my shelter and start gathering supplies.' I think to myself happily. I then look towards the two monkeys and am comforted that I can help the female get a bit stronger before I leave.

Project venom was a design I had often used in my homeworld. It was an idea based off of comics and manga actually. I had created small robotics each a bit larger than a graid of rice. They were made with steel some small electric engines and a bit of luck. They even had hyperdermic needles for legs and injected trace amount of deadly poison. Originally they looked like flies.

This time around I was going to make them look like tiny dragons, for Akuma. Rebirth and I had designed a seal that would enlarge an object. So the theory is simple. Hack some steel off the kunai I had up my sleeve. Enlarge it shape it to look like dragons engrave seals for movement, poison distribution, and explosions. I would then leave a shard of my Kekkai Genkai created obsidian to act as a conduit for the chakra pulse patterns to move.

I would also use these bug bots to scout the areas around me with the chakra sensory ability that came with the Obsidian release. They would effectivley be a safety net. But where as in the past they were being remote controlled via Rebirth. Now we would see things together. And ID be able to make quick changes instantly. In theory.

Another awesome feature we had come up with is to make there legs interlockable. That way the can wrap around my body and act as chainmail. When someone lands a blow I can deploy a few bots to latch on and attack, or track.

I continued to shape and control the balls for approximately two hours before feeling the beginning signs of exhaustion. I cancelled the techniques easily and was pleasantly surprised when the chakra from creating the objects was partially returned to my reserves.

Seventeen days later I had built up my temporary house as best I could. Using earth chakra manipulation, and some obsidian release tools, I had dug holes and placed long sturdy bamboo down them before packing them pack tight. I had then split several bamboo trees into slats and wove them between the poles going 7 ft high. I then dug a good sized hole and used a water camping jutsu to get all the clay wet, stomping in some dry leaves and grass I covered the new walls with the mud having to repeat the process of digging and refilling the whole using earth natured chakra to manipulate the land. Increasing my understanding of earth release.

I had then dug a small forge. Just a square hole in the ground with a vent hole next to it to draft air through. Using a hand cranked leaf fan that resembled a bike pedal system. The sides being lined with stones. I had also crafted an anvil and several tools to manipulate the red hot metal. All that was left was to enlarge the Kunai and cut off manageable pieces.

Using a small series of chisels made with Obsidian release. I slowly engraved the kunai with the varuios components and layers that comprised of this completley original seal.

Having been raised in the head family of the Uzumaki clan Okame had been given the best instruction available on the art of Fuinjustu. And the Uzumaki child had been very talented in that area reconizing it as a way to get closer to the village through the noble art.

But Rebirth had simply blown him out of the water with her hundreds of thousands of combinations being processed and discarded every few minutes. He wasn't sure if they hadn't developed a new school in Fuinjutsu. The way that the overlapping seals interacted with each other requiring precise calculations. And then having to repeat the process in a dozen ways for something as simple as enlarging a kunai.

The end reults were rather impressive though I estimated that the original 8 ounce kunai now weighed 18lbs. I easily shaved of thin 2 inch sections using obsidian release and a large amount of concentration to move the obsidian through the heated steel. I then use tongs to heat the small metal squares red hot. Using pliers hammers and hard work I slowly but surely bang out 275 very rough body segments 3 to each dragon and 125 dragon heads. Making the wings, clawed hands, and legs each fully articulating on gears and rivots.

I would have the traditional Japanese dragon. And the European lord of the rings style dragon. The diffrences won't simply be visual as I have made a few adjustments in the design so that the japanese style dragon drones henceforth known as shenron. Which breathes poisons. While Smaug the other drones will drop small explosive seal pellets I designed. There small yield but can cause injury and discomfort.

I'd now been in the world of Naruto, or a similar dimension, for just under 2 months. Ultimately I was procrastinating, something I hadn't done since...2 lifetimes ago. 'I'm nervous. I don't have back up bodies, don't have a network of allies, no access to world wide monitoring systems...

Taking a break from bthose thoughts. I go over to the large caged in area I have created next to my house. The two monkeys are in there playing together. The female having regained enough strength to now frolick about happily. I go to the side of where the door for the cage would be it it wasn't off sitting on top of the structure. I had built the cage on the first night not wanting the pups to become prey as I slept. And after the sister had started to play roughly with her bother I had taken the door off. Only putting it back on at night when they hadn't yet left.

As I set in my chair the female notices me and immidiatlety abandons her brother to scurry up into my lap. It seems that she has taken to me more than I should have allowed. She nuzzled into my hands a few times before getting fiesty with them for rubbing her. Her brother meanwhile had chuffed in my general direction then walked out and some distance away before laying down with his back towards us in such a way he could still watch.

I sat there just enjoying the scerenity for a moment when the monkeys ears perked up and I felt a disturbance in the borders of my chakra sense. It seems no matter how well I hide the traces of food I can't fool the predators of the forest. I had already had to scare off a few small red bears.

I sat the femle on the ground and she hurried off to the inside of her cage. The male had also made his way over when suddenly it stopped the fur along its body stood on end and a hateful growl made its way up its small throat. Its whole body flexed and angry.

Turning in the direction I feel the chakra presence coming from I am greeted to the sight of a large tiger with fresh claw shaped scars across is snout and rear leg. It doesn't even pause as it sofly pads over in our general direction. The male launches itsef at the beast only to be swatted aside in mid air in a lazy manner. The beast then turns all of its attention towards me and makes a half hearted pounce. So sure in its victory.

I snort in diresion as it aproaches before summoning the obsidian sphere in my bed into my hand before changing its shape into a snowflake shaped shuriken and launching It through the tigers open mouth clearly cutting its head in half. The tiger skid to a rest at my feet. The male monkey having landed again pounced and attacked every part of the tigers skin it could find until it became exhausted. I picked it up and put it in the cage with its sister before hanging and skinning the tiger having guessed that it was somehow responsible for the pups mothers demise I had decided. to make the tiger pelt itno a sleeping mat or something no sense in letting it go to waste.

I then begin skinning out the meat with mental control of square blades I quickly cut the meat all down to about a quarter inch thick strips and throw them on a rack fashoined of wood . its a few feet over the fire to slowly dry as I flesh the hide, soak it in tanning soulution made from its brains. Then wrapping it over the top of the drying meat helping smoke preserve the tiger meat and slowly smoking and drying the tiger pelt. As it drys I take it down to resoak, and stretch to make sure it stays soft.
