Chapter 32

[ Naruto's POV ]

Before I entered the pit, I went around the area surrounding it looking for something. I inspected the area and found that nothing was out of the ordinary. I checked for any traps that I placed and found out that they had not been touched. I check each and every corner that was accessible to me but I found nothing. I check for trails but found none. Then, I mentally nod my head to confirm today's report.

[ Today's report. The Pit is safe. ]

For the past three years after Hinami-san assassination attempt, I was being followed by stalkers like crazy and these stalkers were ninjas. can't these guys ever give me a break. It was getting really annoying, so I had to make some counter-stalker plans.

All the years I spent to familiarize the streets of Konoha was not useless.

I know each and every part of Konoha like the back of my hand. So slipping away from my stalkers eyes was a piece of cake for me. Combine that with suppressing my chaka it was like searching for a needle in a huge haystack.

For three years, I have mastered Fuinjutsu to level 6. It was not an easy task but it was very taxing and fruitful. During those time making storage scrolls, I made a very useful mistake. I don't know what happened to me, but I got this crazy idea to experiment.

I combined a storage scroll and an explosion scroll and you know what, I failed to achieve my desired result. I hope to get a scroll that worked like a bomb that explodes and shoots out projectiles like shirukens, kunais, nails, rocks etc. further damaging the enemy. I bet that would sell for a lot of cash.

BUT, I invented something even more terrifying.

What I invented could be the most dangerous booby trap that could ever existed.

It was a modified storage scroll with a self-destruct add-on.

It doesn't sound scary but don't let the simple words fool you.

Once this scroll touches you, it stores you inside the scroll then, you're dead.

As explained by the Fuinjutsu book, the storage scroll is based on the theories of space and time. Once activated, it sends an object to a separate space created by the scroll and is stored in it and the object can also be taken out at will. Simple enough, that is what a storage scroll does.

The one I made sends any unfortunate victim to the separate space. After that, the explosion scroll will activate instantly destroying the space created by the scroll and the content as well. What happens to the content ? seriously, I don't give a fuck!

I placed the scrolls at every place I could place near the pit and was heavily concealed by the dense vegetation then with another seven layers layer of booby traps, '' The Pit '' is the most safest place to hide inside Konoha. Now the only safest route to this part of the forest, is with me.

I am not being overboard, or paranoid. Its just a habit you acquired when you are targeted by the entire village. It never hurts to be more cautious.

These are just a warning that you don't won't to mess with me.

I have a motto I always follow, '' You fuck with me, I'll fuck you even harder. ''

As I lie down on my futon, I recalled all the events of this day. I chuckled, at the position I am at the very moment. '' I have became selfless haven't I ?... Like hell I am. ''

I hated the Kumo for what they tried to take from me three year ago.

I have received nothing from this village full of hypocrites since the time I was born. All I received from them was loneliness, hatred, disgust, torture and scars that might never heal.

My life was like a long dark tunnel and I had walked for six years inside it. Everything was soo dark as if my future was nothing but eternal darkness. But something caught my eyes, when finally I could see a ray of light in the long dark tunnel. I was so happy that day! But some bastards tried to kill that light right in front of my eyes.

Rage erupted in me, and I kill the person responsible in the most brutal ways possible.

When I found out that the village itself used my ray of light as a bait, I had to suppress my urge to kill them the same way I killed the Kumo ambassador.

I have walked for six years inside the dark tunnel called '' My life ''. It was rough at first, but I got used to it eventually. Even though I got used to the treatment, I yearned for a light, a warm light and when I found it, this ray of light illuminated the dark tunnel, giving me hope, warmth and strength.

At first, just surviving to see the next day was a blessing to me, now, I don't want to survive, I want to live, live my life to make sure that this ray of light shall never die, but to grow stronger and brighter. It'll be soo bright that the radiance of the sun could never match it.

And for that, I'll do anything, anything to protect this light !

But the enemies are too many to fight. I am not a one man army, nor is Kuromaru. So, I'll gather my own allies, the ones that will never betray me. If needed, I'll use fear to make sure they stay loyal.

Fear is a powerful weapon, a weapon that sharper than any blade, harder than any war hammer and faster than any arrow.

Currently, I have two allies that are loyal to me.

Kuromaru, is my brother. Even though we don't belong to the same race, the bonds of our brotherhood can never be destroyed. I'll risk my life for him and I know he will do the same for me.

Konohamaru and Shiro are strange creatures, creatures that reeks of violence and arrogance. I can hardly call Konohamaru a human now, he is more or like a monster in human skin. He would challenge me time and time again and gets a good beating from me, but he keeps comming again and again, but better than before. I have only a few experiences fighting with humans in the past, this can also help alot.

The word Fear doesn't exist in his dictionary, so I had to put it in his.

They never fight fairly, always using unfair means to win a fight and I like that. There is no such things as honour and fairness in a fight. There is only a victor and a loser. The victor lives and the losers dies.

Their arrogance might be an is issue, but it was not baseless. I told and drilled this knowledge into his head time and time again, that they can be arrogant if they knows who the person they are dealing with and knows how to silence that said person. In short, if you are proud of your skills, back it up not just with words but with your actions as well.

Other than that, they are very stubborn. But this stubbornness can very useful.

During the past five months of training, I taught everything he needed to learn to survive.

You know it sounds pretty dumb for me to teach a brat I barely knew basically everything I knew.

But I have my reasons for that as well. Hehehe

Now, since I already gave him aura, he better be prepared for even harsher training. My goal is to turn him into a living embodiment of fear and I doubt, the Hokage will allow me to do that to his grandson.

So, I lied to the old man. Telling him that Konohamaru will be staying with me for as long as he is training with me, so that we will not disturb him with his duties and I can supervise him very nicely. He with great difficulty, agreed that Konohamaru should write him a letter every week and I have to write him the progress of Konohamaru's training. Seriously, this old man is too good for well being.

Like the bastard I usually am, I wrote a report that contained mostly of lies but a few truths mixed in it. Neither the Hokage nor any of the Council members should know of this, especially about aura.

The Aura is a strange and dangerous power, and the fewer people knew about it, the better it was.

Next time, I probably would give to no more than two people max.

Hinata and Neji might be the best candidates, but they are too kind. Plus, their parents would never allow it and I don't want to lie to them either.

Today was a tiring day, so... I'm off to bed.
