NLS81-90
Chapter 81
And now after a week of resting, team 11 gathered in front of the
Hokage tower yet again, ready to take on the world! I'm ready for
anything! Bandits! Pirates! Giant talking apes! Bring it!
"Team 11, washing the orphanage's laundry," Sarutobi smiled, almost
happy at our disappointed faces.
"B-but C rank!" Zumo cried, tears coming out of his eyes and we all
hung our heads.
The Hokage took a puff from his cigar and smiled, "you just started
your C rank missions, it's alright to take a break from time to time. Trust
me on that. So for the next month, you'll have nothing by D ranks."
"NO!" China, Zumo and I cried out in horror as the older ninjas
chuckled at our antics. Fucking old bags of bones!
One month of torture later:
One month of mission, averaging out to 500 per mission and over 60
mission (chores) completed, resulting in 30,000 EXP. So at least I
leveled up;
Yami, Little Professor
Level- 32 (16,000/16,900)
HP- 4,750/4,750 (+20)
SP- 2,300/2,300
CP- 2,700/2,700
CONTROL- 100%
FIRE- 100% WIND- 100%
Allegiance- Konoha Civilian
STR- 32
VIT- 48
DEX- 48
INT- 35 (+2)
CHA- 57
CC- 131
LUC- 26 (+5)
And the moment I reached a 100% control rate for wind, I gained a
surprising new ability! Instead of asking me if I wanted to unlock a third
element, instead I was asked if I wanted to combine the two elements I
did control, allowing to create a new bloodline!
That's right, I had the option of creating a bloodline limit for myself!
Conditions have been meet: Fire 100% control, Wind 100%
control. Would you like to unlock a keki genkai!
FIRE + WIND = SCORCH
Or unlock another element?
Lightning
Earth
Water
Obviously I selected the kekkei genkai!
Yami, Little Professor
Level- 32 (16,000/16,900)
HP- 4,750/4,750 (+20)
SP- 2,300/2,300
CP- 2,700/2,700
CONTROL- 100%
FIRE- 100% WIND- 100% SCORCH- 50%
Since I already had 100% control in FIRE and WIND, SCORCH came
already half mastered. I tried to create my own jutsus for it, or some
kind of training, but the only thing I could do which involved scorch
release was lighting a leaf on fire, burning faster that simple fire
release jutsu training.
Unfortunately according to the history books there has only ever been
one famous user of the scorch release, Pakura, a kouichi from Suna
that died quite some time ago. Obviously Konoha had no records of
her or her jutsu, so I was stuck with no clue how to train this new new
kekkei genkai.
But hey, at least I'm getting a new mission now.
"So, I'm assuming you want a C rank mission," the old man smiled.
"Yes!" I threw my hands up and sighed, "if I have to paint one more
damn fence I'll puke! Why do people have so many fences?! They
should just learn to get long with people!"
Zumo nodded, "yeah, plus do they all have to be white? Can they be
interesting in the least? Have a little more personality than a stone
wall?"
Ko nodded as he stepped forward, "we are ready lord Hokage."
The Hokage chuckled, "alright. Now, you have three options mission
available, all definitely important and up to your standards of interest,
so no fence painting here."
"Oh thank God," China muttered.
"Now, there's first a mission to to the border where you'll be delivering
medicine to a village suffering from a plague. Another escort mission to
the Land of noodles and a mission to Suna delivering important
documents."
"I vote Suna!" I cried out holding up my hand in excitement.
Zumo blinked, "dude, you want to travel in a dessert?"
"It's Suna man! You know how amazing that place is? Another freaking
ninja village! Don't you want to know how it looks like?"
Zumo groaned, "I guess."
Ko smiled, "well then if there are no objections," he turned to China
who shock hr head, "then I suppose Suna it is."
Ping!

We set off the next day, packing a little as possible. I went a step
ahead and actually changed clothes, wearing black ninja garbs similar
to what Sasuke wore when fighting Gaara, except bright yellow, don't
want to die from a heat stroke. I also got a cloak for the sand and some
goggles.
Zumo actually laughed at my change in attirer, but then Ko arrived with
a clock similar to mine, nodding in approval at my new get up. Thi
prompted us to stop by in a nearby village on the border to get China
and Zumo a cloak and googled as well.
We traveled at ninja speed, making great time as we crossed into Tani,
the land of rivers. There wasn't much to see, a lot of bridges and a lot
of rivers, oh and a huge mountain range, but nothing else.
Chapter 82
It was two days later when the forest slowly began to die out as we
saw the great expanse of desert before us. From then on the trek
became...slower. We had to slow down since China and Zumo didn't
know how to tree walk, meaning they couldn't channel chakra into their
feet to keep themselves from sinking in.
Zumo huffed as he pulled his leg up out of the sand. He looked at Ko
and me and growled, "how the hell are you doing that?!"
Ko smiled, "it's simple Zumo, you see, this is the result of an exercise
called the tree walking technique. It helps refine chakra control and
helps you climb trees. It also can help you from sinking into the sand."
"It's not that hard," I told them as I helped China out of a optically hard
sand trap.
"When did you learn it Yami?" China asked in surprise.
"During our week resting," I shrugged, wiping away the sweat on my
face from the harsh sun, "I looked it up and bribed a chunin to show me
how it's done. I have very good chakra control, so it wasn't all that
difficult learning it."
"Hm, I see," Ko said thinking, "well then when we get back after this
mission I'll teach China and Zumo the tree walking exercise while you
and I can go over another chakra control exercise."
I nodded, "sure," we walked in silence once more before I sighed and
asked, "how much further?"
Ko chuckled, "if we keep this rate up we will reach there in two days
time."
"ARGH!" I cried out, "that's too long to spend in the desert! There's
nothing to do here! Nothing to see!"
"You're the one who wanted to come on this mission," Zumo scoffed.
I grumbled, "yeah, I know..."
"Well then how about we play a game?" Ko suggested with.
"A game?" China asked.
"Yes, a shinobi game," Ko said taking out a shuriken, "I'll throw on
shuriken, if you can somehow deflect it back to me with your own ninja
tools, that's one point for you, if not, it's a point to me."
Zumo frowned, "what kind of game is this?"
"The kind which helps you learn how to deflect weapons thrown at
you," China informed.
"Very good China," Ko smiled, "yes, that's correct, this is not just a
game, but training as well. So," he took out two shurikens, "who wants
to go first?"
The game was fun, China ended up winning as she scored the most
points with my coming in second and Zumo coming third. The Sarutobi
really needed to learn how to aim better.
Soon it turned dark and we set up camp for the night inside a cave with
me taking first shift. It was a quiet night with nothing notable
happening. I did however make sure to leave behind a fanged dagger
inside the cave, just in case I ever needed a place to escape. Or dump
a body. The middle of the dessert would do just fine.
And then the next day we came upon the village, seeing it off in the
distance around noon time. The city was inside a large crater
surrounded by large walls and a single entry point. We approached the
gates and were immediately halted by the gate guards.
"Stop! State your business here Konoha ninjas!" said the first one.
"Ko Hyuga, jonin, on mission to deliver vital information for the
kazekage," Ko stated gathering out ninja ID cards and giving it to the
guards who checked them out for a moment before stepping aside.
"Everything seems to be in order," he turned to the gates which were
slowly being pushed open. On the other side was a level 42 konichi
with bandages covering her hair and the sides of her face. She was
dress in a simple sand coloured vest, which seems to be Suna's
version of the Konoha's flack jacket.
"Chunin Rovira will be your guide," the gaurd informed us handing us
back out cards.
"Please, follow me, don't stray," Rovira informed us, acting as our guide
into the village.
We entered for the first time another ninja village. And the moment I
did;
Ping!
You have entered an enemy village!
-20 REP to everyone from Suna
Okay, that was unexpected. Technically on paper Suna and Konoha
were allies, but there were ongoing hostilities as people hated the fact
that Konoha was more prosperous. This was also the reason
Orochimaru was so successful in turning Suna against Konoha.
Rovira took us through the main road, surrounding it on both sides
were dull almost sand coloured buildings with rarely any luxury items
seen. There wasn't even a proper restaurant that I could see.
"Damn, this place is depressing," Zumo said with a whistle.
I slammed my palm on my head, "you dumb mother-"
"What was that?" Rovira asked, snapping to Zumo with a glare.
"N-nothing!" Zumo gulped. The Suna kunoichi maintained the glare for
a moment before dropping it. Ko sighed and turned around seeing
Zumo a glare that made the Sarutobi kid shudder, good, he needs to
learn not to insult people he just met!
In the heart of the village was a giant tower that looked over the village.
On the top I could see sentiers looking out and in ground level were a
constant stream of ninjas coming in and out.
Chapter 83
"Watch yourself," Rovira ordered as we walked inside, moving through
the crowds of shinbi that either stared at us or glared at us. Sigh,
fucking hell man.
We walked up to the third floor where we found a receptionist that
ordered us to wait, sending a not o subtle glare our way.
We sat down and Rovira disappeared in a bust of sand. Ko sighed as
he turned to the receptionist, "can I get some water? It's been a difficult
journey."
The elderly woman sighed, "I'm sorry, but we're right now in the middle
of a drought. Water is limited."
Ko nodded, "we understand," he turned to us and signed for us to
remain silent. Zumo nodded immediately while China and I made no
outward motion.
We waited for half an hour before the woman finally called us up, "he's
almost finished, it'll just be a moment."
Just then the Kazekage's door opened up and a man dressed in white,
a mask covering his face walked out. The receptionist bowed while Ko
moved the team away, obviously unsure about the man.
But he should have done more than that...a lot more.
Orochimaru, Snake Sanin
Lv- ?
REP- -50
Holy shit! I did nothing, said nothing, I just watched he walk by, not
bothering to even look at our directions. I gulped, scary mother fucker. I
didn't even register the woman telling us to go inside, I kept looking
back, and just as I entered the office, he turned back and looked at me,
narrowing his eyes.
I immediately ran in and shut the door behind me. I almost ran into Ko
who motioned me to fall in. Id id so without complaint, praying
Orochimaru didn't come in for me.
"Right, so what's this about?" a red haired man sitting behind a desk
wearing a white and green version of the Hokage's robes.
Rasa, Fourth Kazekage
Lv- ?
REP- -60
Oh great, he hates us more than normal, this should be fun.
"Lord Hokage ordered us to deliver this information to you," Ko aid as
he took a scroll out of his jacket. The Kazekage nodded allowing Ko to
approach and place the scroll on his desk before backing away.
Rasa took the scroll, looked it over before throwing it aside, "was there
anything else?"
"No," Ko replied.
Rasa nodded, "you can stay in Suna for one night, I expect you to be
gone by tomorrow morning, is that understood?"
"Perfectly," Ko replied.
Ping!

Luckily for me the reward scroll just ended up in my inventory and
didn't appear in my hands in a puff of smoke. That would have caused
some trouble for sure. But hey, at least my scorch release was at 76%!
The man waved us away, we walked out and I was so glad that
Orochimaru wasn't there waiting for us. Damn, what was he even doing
here in the first place?!
Rovira appeared at that point and acted as our guide once more to a
hotel right across the kazekage tower. "You have already been
assigned a single room," she informed us, "anything further you require
will have to be payed out of your own pockets."
"Understood," Ko nodded as she escorted us out of the tower. And
then, I saw it. A glowing rock shaped symbol on the tower's walls. A
golden symbol similar to the ones the Suna ninja wore.
I quickly walked to it and put my hand on it gaining curious looks from
my companions and a cautious glare from Rivora. But I ignored them
all;
Ping!
Congratulations! You have found a legendary spot: Kazekage
tower!
Locations found in Suna: 1/5
Select your reward!
+10 points
+10,000 EXP
Suna style battle fan
Random skill scroll
I can't use the battle fan, it will appear in my hands immediately
drawing attention to myself. The scroll would also cause some smoke
and people here hate us enough and suspect us as it is.
My only options were to use the ten points or the 10,000 EXP. And
while the EXP was nice, it wouldn't level me up, meaning the more
prudent choice was the points, which is what I selected.
Ping!
You have gained: +10 points!
"Yami, what are you doing?" Ko asked.
"Nothing, sorry," I said joining them again.
Rovira glared at me and then the spot I touched. Seeing nothing of
note she continued to walk and talk, "you cannot leave the building
without an escort, though I doubt you would find anything interesting
here," she said glaring at Zumo who blushed.
Chapter 84
I sighed, "do you guys have a book store by any chance?"
Rovira scoffed, "paper is rare here, so no, we don't."
I grumbled, "that sucks. I was looking forward to reading your guys
literature."
Rovira eyes seemed to soften a little at that, "Suna mainly consists of
poets, not many novelists come out of our village. We have main
collection of poem we are all proud of, you can have one deliver to you
from the post office. We don't have a store, but we do deliver custom
orders."
I saw an opening, I can use this.
"Hmm, I'm guessing the poem are about sand and how amazing water
it right?" I said, "I think I remember one guy….Bashamichi or
something, wrote a fantastic piece of his first visit to the ocean.
Honestly, after reading that I was glad even for the tap water I used to
wash my clothes."
"You have read Bashamichi?" Rivora asked surprised.
I winked, "haven't you heard? Konoha nin are tree lovers. Is it really
that surprising that we also like books?"
The konichi chuckled, "no I suppose not."
Ping!
Your skill has leveled up!
Flirting, Lv- 10 (3%)

them or getting them to like you.

I smiled, "so are there any other books you can recommend?"
"Depends, what's your favorite genre?"
"Fantasy...or historical figures," I smiled, time to hint at what I want, "I
like reading about great ninjas of the past. Like the fourth hokage, he's
my favorite."
Rivora nodded, "yes, I suppose he would be. It would take quite a feet
to defeat a biju."
I shrugged, "yeah, that's cool and all, but what I like about him was his
style. Dude knows how to dress!" This caused the sand konichi to
chuckled. I smiled back, "but that's just me. I also read a few of the
ninjas you guys have produced. Like the third kazekage? Magnet
release? I can't even begin to image what kind of a powerhouse that
guy was."
Rivora smirked, "who do you think would have won? The fourth hokage
and the third kazekage?"
I groaned, "well...it depends."
"On?"
"Whether or not they want to kill each other."
"Oh? How so?"
"Well if it's just a friendly spar then the fourth would win easily. The
kazekage's powers are deadly, he would have to strain to hold himself
back. So the fourth would win easily. But if it was a death match...the
winner would be decided on a coin flip."
Rivora scoffed, "oh please, magnet release beats Flying Thunder God
any day of the week. All the Kazekage would have to do is destroy
those kunais of the Hokage before he could use them."
"But you're forgetting one thing," I smirked.
"What's that?" she asked as we entered the hotel, my team mates
following close by.
"The fourth hokage is a seal master," I grinned, "the magnet release is
powerful. But if the fourth create a seal which can send out a powerful
electromagnetic shock wave, the metal would be demagnetize causing
them to become nothing more than heavy sand."
"Such a seal can't possibly exist," she scoffed.
"I bet I can make it in twenty minutes," I grinned.
She raised an eyebrow, "oh really? Is that a challenge?"
"Depends, you chicken Sandy."
"Oh you are on tree hugger!" she grinned, "what are the stakes?"
"If I win you treat me to lunch," I smiled.
Rivora raised an eyebrow, "a date? Really?"
"Yup. Plus I'm hungry," que hungry stomach.
The sun konichi rolled her eyes, "fine. But if I win you owe me your
copy of Bashamichi work...you do have it on you yes?"
I nodded, "yep," I carried it in my inventory. It really was a good book. I
extended my hand, "deal?"
"Deal," she shock it, "now start sealing tree hugger," she scoffed.
I smiled as I took out and empty scroll and brush. Ko and the others
gathered around as I st down in the hotel lobby, placing the scroll on
the tea table there and began to construct a seal. Rivora raised an
unimpressed eyebrow as she saw the way my brush moved, while Ko
groaned, what's bugging him?
"And done," I finished at the ten minute mark.
Ping!
A new seal recipe has been added!
Electromagnetic shock wave, B rank
Seal sends out a blast of electromagnetic energy that
demagnetizes everything within a 20 feet radius.
"How do we know if it'll actually work?" Rivora asked crossing her
arms.
I shrugged, "I guess you'll just have to trust me," she raised an
eyebrow, "or use it against your kazekage and see if his gold reacts the
same way. It is based around the same principles yes?"
Rivora's eyes blinked, "how did you know that?"
I shrugged, "I told you, I know a lot about great ninjas," that made her
more relaxed, "anyway, I win, so I demand lunch!"
"Please, we don't' even know if it works, it could be a dud," the sun
konich shrugged.
I smiled back, "fine, be that way. But you still owe me a date.
And...well, I'm still hungry."
She rolled her eyes and turned to Ko, "you got it from here?" Shit! Shit!
I need to talk her and learn more about scorch release.
Chapter 85
"Actually, we are really hungry, if you wouldn't mind, could you show us
the nearest restaurant?" Ko asked with a smile. Thank you sensei! It's
like you read my mind!
Rivora groaned for a moment before nodding, "I guess it's fine," she
then turned to me, "but I'm not paying."
I rolled up the seal and put it way, "it's fine, be sandy, see if I care."
She groaned, "oh god, that pun, it's like you think no one has ever
used that before," she then took us around, stopping a restaurant that
served meals throughout the day.
She sat with us for lunch, she and I constantly exchanging book ideas
and the like. Half way through the meal though, I finally decided to
approach the topic I was so anxious about.
"You know there are a lot of great stories about ninjas, but not enough
about kunoichis," I stated, through the statement out in the open.
"That's true," Rivora nodded as she ate her rice.
"Well, there's wonder woman," China offered.
"She isn't real kid," Rivora shot the girl down, making her blush in
embarrassment, "we're talking about real konichis."
"Like Tsunade," I offered, gentle pressing China's hand to make her
seem more confident.
"R-right," she nodded.
I turned to Rivora, "hey, I just realised, Suna doesn't really have any
famous kunoichi's do they?"
She scoffed, "I thought you liked reading history kid, of course we do!
We have Chiyo, the mistress of puppets!"
I shrugged, "anyone else?"
"Hm," she blinked, "oh, yes, we have the Kazekage's own daughter,
Temari, amazing wind user."
I groaned, "yeah...well, I don't know about her, but I think I understand
what you're saying. Wasn't there also some woman who had a special
release? Scorch was it?"
Rivora nodded, "yup. Her name was Pakura, she died a hero. Fucking
Iwa had her killed," she cursed.
I frowned, "I guess we all hate Iwa. Hm, if I recall correctly she died on
an embassy mission to Kiri yes?"
Rivora nodded, "yup, that's correct. Got ambushed and left for dead."
"Damn, the village must have taken that hard. Did she have any
family?" I asked with concern.
"Not that I know," she shrugged, "she did have a student named Maki,
she took it harder than all of us."
I frowned, "hmm, makes sense Kiri killing her, considering their hatred
of bloodlines. I suppose with her death you guys lost all records of the
scorch release as well. Too bad you won't be able to train the next one
you happen across."
The Suna ninja nodded, "yes, that's true. But not to worry, from what
I've been told the scorch release is a very adaptive herself didn't
actually have anyone to teach her, she just went ahead and did it. I
think Maki once mentioned that her master had built her style up from
the ground up."
"Woah, that's pretty amazing," Zuma said in awe.
"You sure it isn't just boring and bland?" Rivora asked with a smile.
We laughed as Zumo blushed even further, but inside I was seething. I
had nothing to go on. Pakura herself had built her style up from
scratch, guess I'll just have to do the same. Damn, this is going to be
hard.
Ping!

Wait what? A TM? A technical machine? One that can teach pokemon

these things! I'm so going to check it out later tonight!
After lunch we got back to our hotel, escorted by Rivora. She checked
us into our room and left, warning us to stay inside or else.
The moment we stepped into the room though China cried out, "Yami!
Why do you always flirt with every woman we meet!"
I blinked, "well...I was trying to maintain Suna Konoha relations,
everyone seemed kind of...hostile to us."
"Oh really?" Zumo asked rolling his eyes, "I'm sure that's true. Can't
you just liked tell the truth man? You don't have to make up such lies."
"No, Yami is telling the truth," Ko spoke up, "didn't you two feel it? The
glares? The odd looks?"
China mumbled, "I just thought it was because we were foreigners."
Ko shook his head, "no...something is wrong...the Hokage needs to
know of this."
I nodded, "agreed."
That night while the rest of them slept I stayed away on the couch
looking at my status.

a skill to level up;
Stealth, Lv- 32 (0%)
Your ability to hide in plain sight is crucial for being a ninja.
Chances of not getting spotted- 61%
For stronger opponents, -2% for each level they surpass you
I so needed to improve my stealth skill. With that done I went to bed, I
couldn't risk running out late at, even if I had a decent stealth skill. It
could mean freaking war!
Chapter 86
After than I opened up the TM I got and took it out. It was in the form of
a disk with the letters 'TM' on it's surface. It would teach a pokemon a
move...but I was curious, could it teach me as well?
I pressed the disk against my forehead and waited...but nothing
happened. Damn, guess only pokemon can learn this. Oh well.
So I went to bed and the we all woke up early the next day. I quickly
hide a fanged dagger inside the floorboard of the hotel room, similar
what what I did for the inn in the Land of Tea. Now I had a direct route
inside an enemy ninja village. Hopefully if people to discover it, they
wouldn't know what it is and would just throw it out. Hopefully.
We left with Rivora there bright and early. She guided us out of the
village with a wave, I guess she was soft on us after spending some
time chatting and eating.
We didn't do much on the way back, it was just a simple mission. I
honestly wish though that the next mission isn't as calm as this one. I
need excitement man!
A few days later:
We did eventually reach Konoha in one piece. The moment we entered
the gates we went straight to the Hokage tower and Ko gave our report
to the old man.
The mission now officially over Ko ordered us home to rest before
coming back the next day for training.
It was early in the morning when I found myself back at training ground
11 meditating with a leaf pressed between my palms.
Ever since returning home yesterday I have been training to create my
own scorch style jutsus. It's been a pain, but I managed to dissect the
main principles of both fire style and wind style.
I found that the tiger hand seal was for fire style jutsu and the bird hand
seal was for wing style. This mean scorch style, a mixture of these two,
had to use both in some form.
So I began to experiment, using the hand seals for Great fireball, but
instead of using the tiger seal at the end, I used the bird.
And not surprisingly, nothing happened. It was a dud.
So I moved on, instead of using jutsu I decided to use nature control,
mainly training myself to use scorch style chakra alone.
I looked down at the leaf between my hands, while before I could only
burn the leaf with my scorch release, now I could actually create a
small ball of fire so potent, it began to dry up the leave around me just
by existing.
I focused and held my hand tightly together. Slowly the leaf started to
burn with a yellowish flame. I opened my palm and held out the burning
fire ball as it slowly began to heat up. I could feel the heat, but it
couldn't touch me as slowly the moisture around me began to burn into
nothing.
I smiled, this was the perfect first step to mastering the scorch style.
Suddenly I felt two familiar chakra signatures approaching, China and
Zumo. I put of the leave and got up, I waited and in moment they
landed before me.
"Hey Yami," Zumo waved.
"Hey you two," I waved back, "what's new?"
"Nothing much," China shrugged, "when I got him yesterday my mother
and father were so worried. They thought I was going to get hurt again.
I'm glad nothing went wrong during this mission."
Zumo nodded, "don't I know it."
I felt Ko's chakra approach us, "sensei is here," and moment later he
arrived, "morning sensei."
Ko blinked, "Yami? How did you know I was coming?"
Hm...oh well, might as well reveal a few of my tricks, "I sensed you
reach. I think I'm a chakra sensor."
"A what?!" Zumo's eyes winded.
"I'm sorry, but what does that mean?" China asked.
"It means that Yami can detect people's chakra on an emotional level,"
Ko said humming, "I see, that would explain how you knew about
Balubo's oncoming attack. I just chalked it up to instincts. Why didn't
you mention this before Yami?"
I shrugged, "I didn't know what it was, I just thought it was my sixth
sense, or whatever people call it. It wasn't until I read up a little on
chakra system when I realised what I could do."
"Hm, a chakra sensor is pretty rare," Ko groaned, "what is your range?"
"I think around 300 feet," I shrugged, remember the perk I got.
"That's not half bad," Ko nodded, "very well, I'll keep this in mind.
Thank you for telling us this Yami, it can be very useful in the future."
"You're welcome."
"Right, let's begin then," Ko moved towards a tree and tapped on it's
trunk, "today I'm going to show you how to tree walk, Yami, if you'll do
the honours?"
I nodded and quickly walked up to the tree, climbing the side before
walking underneath a branch and hanging upside down.
"Woah! So that's how they do that!" Zuma said in awe.
"Yami here achieves this state by placing chakra into the soles of his
feet, allowing it to gain a sticky property that latches onto whatever
surface you stand on," Ko explained, "but you need to be careful. Too
much chakra and you get blasted off, too little and nothing will happen.
Your goal is to climb till the top of this tree, don't worry if it takes some
time, usually it will take one a week to achieve this."
China and Zumo nodded and quickly stood before a tree, using a kunai
to mark their progress as they climbed up. Predictably Zumo's control
sucked balls while China was able to just get a few steps in before
falling down.
Chapter 87
"Now while they are doing that, you and I can train in the second stage
of chakra control," Ko and I walked over to the small pound the training
ground hand. The Hyuga walked into the water and stood on it's
surface, "water walking."
I smiled and followed him, stepping onto the water surface with
practised confidence. Ko looked surprised when I didn't fall in. I walked
next to him and smiled, "done."
"Since when could you do that?" Ko asked curiously.
"I've always had very good chakra control," I admitted, "in fact I'm
pretty sure I have perfect chakra control."
Ko groaned as he activated his special eyes and looked at my feet.
They widened in surprise as he nodded, "yes, I do believe you're
correct. This is the most perfectly control supply of chakra I have ever
seen. I don't think even a drop is wasted. Amazing, even your reserves
aren't too little, hm...you can be quite the formidable ninja when you
grow up Yami….very powerful indeed."
I smiled, "thank you...so, what now?"
Ko sighed as he deactivated his dojutsu, "now? Well I'm not really sure,
I actually wanted to spend the day teaching chakra control, but if you
can already do this...hm, do you have anything you wish to learn?"
"Depends, how many fire style and wind style jutsus do you know?" I
asked curiously.
Ko hummed, "well you see Yami, due to my clan's rules I don't know
much high level ninjutsu. I know a few basic ones, and I believe you
already know more than me when it comes to wind jutsu."
I sighed, "no offense sensei, but your clan not allowing you to learn
ninjutsu is kind of like cutting yourself with your own kunai."
Ko chuckled, "yes, the maybe so...hm, well how about this, you and I
will go to the library and I'll use my jonin level clearance and allow you
to take one jutsu from the library, what do you say?"
My eyes sparkled, "yes! YES! Let's go!"
"No so fast Yami," the Hyuga chuckled as he made a familiar cross like
seal with his fingers creating a second version of him, "there, he will
take you to the library to get you your books, I need to stay here to
keep an eye on China and Zumo."
I gaped, "is this the shadow clone jutsu?"
Ko nodded, "yes, I'm suprised you know that Yami."
"It's a jutsu the second hokage invented, of course I would know about
it," I looked at the clone and found myself torn, "sensei….do you think
you can teach me this jutsu instead?"
Ko chuckled, "I thought you would say that. Sorry kiddo but no, this is a
kinjutsu, and while you do have very good chakra control, people with
bigger reserves than you have died because they used this jutsu
without care for the repercussion. How about this though, I'll teach you
the shadow clone jutsu the moment you become a chunin, deal?"
I blinked, "wait, are you going to enroll us in the chunin exams?!"
Ko laughed, "no Yami, don't get too excited. You three aren't ready for
that yet. But maybe the one six months later would be better suited for
you."
I groaned, that was right in the middle of the time NAruto was going to
graduate...hm, should I be worried about Mizuki interfering? Neah, it
sorted itself out last time, I'm sure now won't be that different.
"I accept your offer Ko sensei," I nodded at him before turning to the
clone, "let's go."
Ko waved us off as he sprinted towards the library, the clone easily
keeping up with my max speed. We reached the steps and I
immediately walked in.
I noticed not much had changed, except there was now a poster on the
library wall with the words, 'Stan Lee's newest work coming soon!
Justice Leagues! Featuring the Trinity and other heroes from Lee's
amazing mind!'
I chuckled, I almost forgot about that.
"Ah Yami, I'm surprised to see you!" Misa walked out with a pile of
books under her arm. She looked at Ko and smiled, "and you must be
his sensei, a Hyuga yes?"
"Yes ma'am," Ko bowed.
"Thank you for taking care of him, I know he can be a handful
sometimes," Misa said with a chuckle.
"Hey!" I cried out.
Ko ruffled my hair, "he's no trouble at all."
"Well, what can I do for you today?" Misa asked going behind her desk.
"We're just going to use the jonin section to find this one a jutsu to
learn," Ko said pointing at me.
Misa blinked in worry, "are you sure that's wise?"
Ko nodded, "trust me, he's naturally gifted at chakra control, he'll be
fine."
Misa sighed, "very well, but please, keep an eye on him. He's known to
have shifty fingers when it comes to books," she glared at me making
me smirk.
Ko nodded, "I'll make sure he only takes one." And with that Ko guided
me into a section of the library I had never been, the second floor.
The first was for genins and the public. The first was for chunin and the
second, well that was reserved for only jonin. And now me. I was so
going to get my hands on any other scroll I could!
Ping!
Quest alert!
Steal some scrolls!
Rewards:
+5 points for every jutsu you steal
Failure:
Getting caught will cause you to get banned from the library until
you become a chunin
Do you accept?
Y/N?
Hell yeah I do!
We reached the second floor and Ko motioned me forward into a shelf
filled with jutsu scrolls, arrange by their nature affinity, "go ahead and
see if anything interests you. And remember, you can only take one.
And don't try anything funny," he said activating his eyes, because I
have my eye on you."
I rolled my eyes, "wow, I haven't heard that one before, honestly
sensei, you need get new puns."
Ko chuckled as he deactivated his eyes and went to another row,
leaving me alone. But I knew since he did have those eyes, I would
technically be under watch...meaning I'll just have to be quick about it.
Chapter 88
My advantage? He didn't know about my inventory not can he see it.
So that's a plus for me. I began to look around the jutsu, focusing on
the wind and fire types for now.
I found two fire jutsu of note and one wind one I liked. I looked over my
shoulder to see Ko looking at a book on chakra manipulation. I opened
my inventory and slipped one fire jutsu inside along with the wind jutsu.
Then I grabbed the scroll and pretended to read it for a while before
looking for more. Hey, if he's going to make it so easy for me, I'm going
to walk all over him.
I looked around the jutsu sections when my eyes slowly glossed over
into the genjutsu section. Curious, I put the fre scroll I was carrying
back in it's shelf and went to Ko, "hey sensei, is it okay if I check out
some genjutsu instead?"
Ko looked up, "oh? Nothing interested you?"
I shrugged, "I just want to keep my options open you know."
Ko nodded, "go ahead Yami," he said activating his eyes to look me
over one time before raising an eyebrow, "huh...I was expecting you to
take something."
I scoffed, "please, what type of ninja do you take me for?" I smiled
going into the genjutsu section and looking them over.
I didn't find anything that interested me, but, right next to the genjutsu
section was the kekkei genkai section. Which really surprised me as it
had jutus for things like ice release, boil release and the like. Obviously
I couldn't find the scorch release or any information about it in here.
So sadly I was forced to return to the first fire scroll from before, taking
it and walking over to Ko, "I'll take this."
Ko looked over and checked the scroll, "fire release, great fire
annihilation jutsu. Hm, okay," he gave me a once over with the
byakugan before taking me to the counter to check it out.
When I left Misa gave me a narrowed glare, the only bat just knew I
had done something, me smiling like an idiot didn't help things either.
The moment I left the library Ko's clone disappeared, but not before
giving me the day off to learn the jutsu and the hand seals involved.
Hehe, as if I would even need a day.
Ping!
Quest completed!
Steal some scrolls!
Rewards:
+5 points for every jutsu you steal
Total reward: +10 points
I went home as soon as possible and made copies of all the scrolls I
took, since they were valuable, I couldn't just burn them by quick
learning from them.
After that was done I learnt all three jutsu I got;
Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire jutsu, B rank
The user compresses a large amount of chakra built up inside
their body and changes it into a dragon head-shaped fireball.
CP cost- 600
DMG- 1,000
Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation, B rank
Chakra kneaded inside the body is converted into fire, and then
expelled from the mouth and shaped into a literal sea of flame.
CP cost- 900
DMG- 1,500
Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere, B rank
The user takes a deep breath and then exhales several small
blasts of wind chakra, dispersing them over an expansive range,
making it difficult to avoid them entirely without taking any
damage.
CP cost- 300 (per blast)
DMG- 600
Then I dealt with the +10 points I gained from the quest I just
completed. I put five points into STR, two into VIT and DEX and one
point into CHA.
STR- 45
VIT- 52
DEX- 52
INT- 35 (+2)
CHA- 61
CC- 131
LUC- 26 (+5)
With three more powerful jutsus in my arsenal I decided it's time for
some real training now. I left Naruto a note telling him I was going to
training late tonight and went out to the park, activating the natural
dungeon.
You have discovered a natural dungeon! Would you like to go
inside?
Y/N
Dungeon, Lv- 1
Dunegon, Lv- 2
Dunegon, Lv- 3
Dunegon, Lv- 4
Dunegon, Lv- 5
I decided it was time to finally try out the newest dungeon, I selected
the option and found myself elsewhere, again. And this time...it looked
fucking scarry.
I was surrounded by lava, I was literally in the middle of a lava pit with
smoke covered sky and heat pouring at at me, making me sweat like a
pig.
"Fuck!" I looked around, the piece of rock I was standing on was slowly
breaking apart into the lava. I looked around and found solid land
outside the lava near a small hill.
I drew a fanged dagger and threw it at the shore. The moment it landed
into rock I teleported myself there in a flash of yellow.
-100 CP
I sighed looking around, from the location I'm guessing I'm going to be
fighting rock types and fire types. Nice. And here I am without a single
water jutsu. Fucking hell.
I wanted to use my pokemon, Onix would be great over here and
Nidoking would be awesome as well, but I needed to practise for
myself. So against my better judgement I decided to not call for
backup.
Chapter 89
I walked around, the ground hot and covered with shark rocks that
cracked like glass as I walked over them. But just then, I heard cry,
"MAGMAR!" As suddenly a blast of fire came my way.
I jumped back, dodging the flames and landed away as a Magmar
came out from behind a large bolder. It stood seven feet tall and looked
pissed. I quickly observed it.
Magmar
Lv- 25
HP- 3,500/3,500

LUC- 12
In battle, MAGMAR blows out intensely hot flames from all over its
body to intimidate its opponent. This POKéMON's fiery bursts
create heat waves that ignite grass and trees in its surroundings.
Kill to gain: 700 EXP
I can't approach it directly and all my fire jutsu were useless. So that
left only one option, I would need to use that.
I opened my inventory and reached in drawing out a giant yellow and
black battle fan. I carried it on my shoulder, Magmar curious as to what
that weapon could do.
Uchiha Gunbai, B class item
A battle fan that can reflect basic jutsus. It summons a blast of
wind from each swing that can fire based attacks.
Durability- 500/500 (per attack)
Bonus to fire attacks- 40%
I smirked, "birth it ugly!" Magmar quickly grew impatient, opening it's
mouth and crying out as it spat out a blast of fire right at me.
"You're going to have to do better than that!" I cried, swinging the
gunbai like a baseball bat, sending a gust of wind so powerful it blasted
the flames away.
"Mag?" Magmar asked in surprise as I leaped forward, bringing the fan
down on it's head, "MAG!"
-200 HP!
I landed besides and brought the gunbai forward blocking the fire balls
Magmar spilled out. "MAG?!" it cried out as the fan blocked all the fire.
It's attack finally stopped, I dropped the fan, performing two hand seals
in quick succession, meeting Magmar's eyes the moment the gunbai
hit the ground. "Demonic illusion: Hell viewing jutsu!"
-10 CP
"MAG!" Mag Mar cried out as it began to spew out fire randomly.
I jumped away out of reach and began to move into a second jutus set,
just to see how effective it would be, 'wind release: Vacuum sphere!' I
thought as I burped out three balls of vacuum out, sending them right
at the pokemon.
-90 CP!
"MAG!" it cried out blasting out fire from it's whole body. The fire hit the
vacuum spheres, and instead of burning it to nothing, it instead added
to the spheres, causing Magmar to get hit by spheres of vacuum
covered by flames sending him flying back into a boulder, crashing so
hard it left an impression.
-3,204 HP
Magmar: 0/3,500 HP
I watched as the Magmar disappeared, leaving behind some cash
which I didn't even bother to pick up and a red potion bottle;
Burn heal, D class item
Heals any burn wherever applied.
Usage: Once
Meh, could be useful. I put it way and grabbed my gunbai, holding it on
my shoulders with one hand while I held a fanged dagger with my
other.
I ran across the lava covered world looking around for more opponent
and quickly came upon more and more Magmars.
I used mainly the vacuum spheres to fight them off, while also knocking
their own attacks to the side using my gunbai. There was one point
where three Magmars tried to ambush me at once, it was then that I
had to use the Flying Thunder god jutsu for the first time in combat.
I was walking between two large rock faces with only one path way out.
And just then, just as I was about to reach the end of the passage, two
magmars blocked the exit while one came charging at me from behind,
spewing out flames from it' mouth.
I put the gunbai on my back to block the flames and quickly created
seals for the vacuum spheres, but these Magamar were smarter, the
moment they aw my hands moved, they went on their side of the rock
faces, using them as cover while sending fireballs at me.
So I took out a fanged dagger and threw it, the Magmar moved behind
cover as the dagger flew right between them and then in a flash I
appeared over the dagger, my mouth bulging with pent up air.
'Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!' I blasted on out point blank. I
turned around and wun my gunbai, hitting the other one in the throat
before I used the hell viewing genjutsu to trick it into attacking it's
friend.
And then I finished them all off with my vacuum spheres. Out of that
confrontation I gained a special loot item, a fire stone;
Firestone, B class item
A stone that has the ability to evolve certain fire type pokemon
I could use this to level up one of my Growlithe into an Archean. I put it
away for later before continuing my little grinding session.
I was around twenty Magmars in when I leveled up;
Yami, Little Professor
Level- 34 (2,900/16,900)

SP- 2,575/2,575

Ping!
You have obtained 100% mastery of SCORCH!
Select a new element to master!
Lighting
Earth
Water
Honestly my one weakness is water, fire can be put out by it and if it's
an area effect jutsu then wind is fucked too. So I need the Lightning
element as well. So I picked that, unlocking it.
Yami, Little Professor

I then assigned the points I gained. Two into CHA, two into STR and
one into LUC;
STR- 47
VIT- 52
DEX- 52
INT- 35 (+2)
CHA- 63
CC- 131
LUC- 27 (+5)
After that the magmas became few in between, and instead I got
another pokemon showing up. And to my utter surprise, it was one I
wasn't expecting to see here;
Charmeleon,
Lv- 20
If this was one of the spawns, I so had to see who the boss was!
Fighting the little flame spewing lizard was easy. Just a couple of
vacuum spheres and it was down for the count. I gained only 300 EXP
for defeating him, and some flammable oil;
Flammable oil, C class item
Oil obtained from Charmander and it's evolutions, this oil is
extremely flammable and what helps keep it's tail lite.
Hm, not bad.
After killing around fifteen of those little buggers I found myself
aimlessly walking around the now empty battlefield. Until I came upon
a giant crater, and right there in the middle of it was, I assume, the
boss of this dungeon.
Chapter 90
A rock type pokemon, off for a fire dungeon, but sure enough I saw it
right there in the middle of the creator.
A Rhydon, essentially a rhino standing on two legs with a huge body,
giant tail and a drill for a horn. Not intimidating at all. And right now it
was punching away at the bottom of the creator, digging in deeper with
a little bit of lava coming out of the cracks.
Rhydon
Lv- 35
HP- 25,000/25,000
SP- 9,000/9,000

LUC- 32
RHYDON's horn can crush even uncut diamonds. One sweeping
blow of its tail can topple a building. This pokemon's hide is
extremely tough. Even direct cannon hits don't leave a scratch.
Kill to gain: 12,000 EXP
I quickly created a plan, and moved. First, the distraction, "demonic
illusion: hell viewing technique!"
The pokemon stopped punching the ground and immediately began to
cry out, "Rhydon!" it then began trashing slamming it's feet into the
ground over and over again causing more crackin in the ground.
Eather was weak against wind, thankfully I knew just the jutsu for this. I
quickly went through the seals before I took out ten fanged dangers in
each hand and threw them into the air.
I waited until they came back down at leave with my mouth before I
exhaled the jutsu, 'Wind release: Great Breakthrough!'
-25 CP!
The blast of air sent all the daggers flying right towards Rhydon who
had his back turned to me. They flew with such speed, their added
momentum allowed them to dig into Rhydon's skin while the wind jutsu
managed to push him on his face.
-880 HP!
Rhydon, HP- 24,120/25,000
I then began to move through the hand seals for vacuum seals, this
time gathering as much chakra and air I could into my mouth. Thanks
to my mastery of the wind nature chakra, the cost for each jutsu is
reduced by 90% , meaning each ball of air which costed 300 is now
only 30CP.
And I needed every single attack I got.
Slowly the Rhydon broke out of it's genjutsu enhanced stupor, that fall
must have knocked it senses back into it's head. It then looked at me
and roaring, ready to charge. I sucked in more air, waiting for him to
come closer. I cried out and charged, horn lowered and spinning
around like a drill, aimed at me.
I held my breath, waiting for my chance as it came closer and closer. It
was at the edge of the crater and lowered it's horn, ready to skewer
me.
But that the last moment I activated one of the Flying Thunder God
seals on the daggers sticking out of Rhydon's back. I vanished in a
blast of yellow light, Rhydon's horn charging upwards with the strength
of a hundred men, but no target.
I appeared behind him, I released the jutsu mid air. The air exploded
out of my mouth, bursts of wind came flying out.
-300 CP!
A hundred vacuum spheres, each strong enough to do 1,200 points of
damage hit Rhydon in the back. The pokemon cried itu in pain as they
all exploded on it's back, sending it flying into the air, it's heavy mass
landing a good hundred feet away in a small crater.
-120,000 HP!
Rhydon: 0/25,000
If it was anyone else, like a real ninja, it would have easily escaped.
But no, it was just an animal and I defeated it.
Ping!
You have leveled up!
Yami, Little Professor

Points- 5
YES! Now that was fucking awesome! I quickly ran to Rhydon's
disappearing body and searched for loot items.
I found a pokeball, a small ruby, a drill shaped sword in the form of the
drill on it's head and what looked to be a small red flare gun.
I took the pokeball and the ruby. I then observed the sword;
Driller, B class item
A sword made out of the drill of a Rhydon. It can help dig tunnels
or tear away enemies as the blade can rotate 360 degrees
DMG: 100
Impressive, plus it wasn't all that heavy. Hm, maybe I should try and
figure out how this works so that I can make more. I put it away and
then turned to the final loot item, the flare gun.
Flare gun, S rank item
This gun sends out a flare so potent, it draws the attention of
whatever pokemon it is alleged to, forcing to come towards the
person who fired it.
Pokemon this flare is aligned to: Moltres.
Holy. Shit.
A legendary?! A legendary pokemon?! This thing will bring a legendary
pokemon to me?! Seriously?!
I need to calm myself and think about this. Legendary pokemon, and a
flying type pokemon. I so wanted it, but at the same time I had to ask
myself, could I even take it on as I am now? The only reason I won
against these pokemon is because I had superior jutsu and was smart
about it, but against a legendary...it almost definitely going to be a level
80, if the games are to be trusted.
