Yami: The Gamer Kage

Chapter 21: Sssnakesss Hater

Alright time to put on my poker face, I planned for this, time to stick to the script. I nodded, "yes sir. Elder Danzo approached me last night."

"About what?" the Hokage asked.

"He wanted me to release the Sanbi into his possession so that he could seal it away," I told him.

The man's eyes widened, "w-what?"

"He wanted me to betray you and give Yagura to him. He was planning on placing the Sanbi into one of his men. He confessed so much to me."

"And what did you do then?"

"I broke his arm and kicked his balls," I grinned.

The Hokage blinked, "I see... and where is he now?"

I blinked, "what do you mean?"

"Danzo has gone missing, you were the last person to see him alive...and you just admitted to assaulting. So where is he now?"

"I-I don't know. I just left him in the park, I walked away. I was going to tell you but then...he..."

"What? He what?"

"He said it would be pointless. That you would never believe an Uchiha over him," I looked ashamed, "he said he had powerful allies who would make life hell for me...I suppose that's why his men have been following me around all day."

"His men?"

"Root," I told him.

"They are still active?" Hiruzen hissed, "Yami, do you think you can identify these men using your chakra sensory skills?"

I nodded, "yeah, it'll take a while, but I'm sure I can do it."

"I see...very well. First go to the T&I department. I have readied Yagura's cell for them, they'll begin the process of breaking the genjutsu immediately. After that report back here for an S rank mission," he said dismissing me.

"Right," I took off, running out the window and jumping across the village to T&I. I was met by Ibiki who lead me to an underground cell. The room was covered with seals of several kinds, I was actually impressed by how complex they were.

In the middle of the room was a metal box with a chair inside of it. "Place him in there," Ibiki said as he opened the box for me.

I nodded and opened my inventory, taking Yagara out for the first time since I kicked his ass. I placed the limp body on the chair and immediately the metal box snapped shut, I heard several locks click close as seals grew on the box, pushing Yagura's chakra away and sealing him shut.

Only Yagura's head was exposed, the rest of the body tucked inside. "What happened to him?" Ibiki asked noticing his stump of a leg and the several burn and broken bones across his body.

"Me," I replied, "can this keep a biju down?"

Ibiki nodded, "it should. As long as he is in his human form the seals will hold. But if he transforms, that's another issue. But it should be fine, he won't wake up and even if he did the box he's in will activate and kill him."

I nodded, "good...oh and if anything does happen, call me," I gave Ibiki a fanged dagger, "throw it and I'll be there in seconds."

"Right," Ibiki nodded as he pocketed the dagger.

"No problem," I nodded, "say is Anko around? I haven't seen here in awhile."

"She's preparing for the chunin exams," Ibiki replied, "she's one of the protectors."

I nodded, "right. Anyway, if you see her tell her I stopped by. Later," I took off in a flash, reappearing the Hokage's office, which now had more people in it. It seemed like the entire ANBU force.

"Good, you're back," the Hokage nodded, "these will be your companions," he motioned to them, "you will lead them to the Root members you sensed. Until the end of this mission Eagle will be incharge."

Eagle stepped forward, "long time kid. You ready?"

I nodded, "good to see you too Eagle. I'm fine, thanks for asking."

"When you encounter their base you are to burn it all to the ground, is that understood?" Hiruzen said with narrowed eyes, "gather any vital information you can and capture if possible. If not...eliminate them."

Do you accept?

Y/N?

I selected yes and immediately we took off. I widened my senses and felt the familiar signature that had been tracking me all day gathered underground.

"They are underground," I told Eagle as I lead them to a sewer drain, "deep underground."

"Yami take the lead," Eagle instructed, "Pume, Spider, Rat, Frog and Panda, stay out here and make sure no one tries slip out."

"Panda? You have a rookie on board?" I asked surprised.

"He's decent enough," Bear shrugged.

"Right, let's go," Eagle prompted.

I took the lead as we jumped down, landing softly, using waterwalking to make sure none of the disgusting water gets on our person.

I lead them through the maze of sewer tunnel for what felt like two hours. It got difficult to breath at times, but I managed to use a wind jutsu to keep myself fresh, and following me lead several ANBU did the same.

I used my sense to go down deeper and deeper, and finally, the tunnel opened up to a great big collection tank that had a tower going under in the middle of it with several burdge moving to different tunnels all along the walls.

'Here,' I motioned with my hands, pointing out to a group of masked ninjas gathered around the base of the tower.

'Let's go,' Eagle motioned as the ANBU took off, leaping into battle. The Root immediately noticed them, they tried to escape b their exits were covered by at least two ANBU members.

The sound of steel hitting steel rang through loudly, I watched as the ANBU fought tooth and nail against the Root. I sighed, might as well give them some help.

I created a hundred clones, each with 100 CP, they then took off, targeting Root members when their backs were turned, allowing them to beat them unconscious or slap a superior seal on them.

While most were skilled enough to break out of the seals, they then had to face both my clone and an ANBU member, so slowly, if not captured, the Root members were killed.

I waited until my chakra came back before I made another hundred and then repeated the process until the Root was taken care off.

"Good job team," Eagle replied, "begin searching these tunnels, I'm sure we'll find some useful information around here."

'Like information about Danzo's body modifications?' I wondered. I need to get that info before anyone else does. Or else it will be a pain in the ass.

"I'll help out," I called out as I went through the swift release.

"That's really not a problem Yami-" Eagle said, but before he could finish I had vanished in a blur of speed, going a 100 times faster than anyone else.

I looked through the tunnels, this was a once in a lifetime chance. I went through several rooms, on looked like barracks, one looked like a lab and the other a library. In the library I searched through the scrolls but didn't find any personal files.

I was almost about to give up before I found a med bay near the end of the last tunnel. I knew this was it, Danzo had to have some sort of record. I looked through the locked files and found a sealed folder with Danzo's name on it. The seal however was complex, it would destroy the information if forced open, luckily, I was a seal master.

I put the file away in my inventory and then began to gather everything into a bag, the library scrolls, everything I could find. I then brought the bag to Eagle, who was moving in slow motion, h had made it halfway across the bridge.

I stopped the jutsu, he looked at me in surprise, "Yami? What-"

"Here," I tossed him the bag, "I gathered everything I found and put it away in this bag. You should double check, just in case I missed something."

The ANBU were impressed, "right" Eagle nodded, "you should go back to the Hokage, tell him we're done over here. Good job Yami."

I nodded, quickly leaving the sewers, this time finding my way out a lot faster than finding my way in.

The next day:

After the mission I was dismissed and I spent entire the night in my lab unlocking Danzo's files. It took some time, but I managed to do it, learning over all the details that were stored inside.

It seemed Hashirama's cells were something of a wanted item for Konoha. Ever since the First died they have been trying to regrow Wood release into another people, but after all the test subjects died, with not even a single success they shut that down.

Officially anyway.

Danzo got Orochimaru to make this arm for him, the cells apparently have regenerative properties, allowing the user to heal faster. But not only that they also provide the user with increased stamina and chakra flow, allowing someone like Danzo, who was aged and old, to use ten transplanted sharingan eyes, which Kakashi himself, a jonin at his physical peak, could only use one, and still it would be too much of a strain for him.

The wood release is something I have too, but unfortunately I never got a chance to train in it. With the war in Kiri and the watchful eyes I never got a chance, but now, with my private room, maybe I can begin again. Let's see if I could possibly pick up on some on the First's 'vitality' as it were.

From what I understood having the wood release allowed one to do three things in particular;

Control a bijuu

Wood control

Increased vitality

I haven't yet experienced the vitality part, so maybe it's something unique only to Hashirama. Or rather, the spirit living inside Hashirama.

Asura Otsutsuki...the second son of the Sage and the man that inherited the Sage's body. Hashirama was the reincarnation of that man and so was Naruto...damn, I never realised that.

Madara and Sasuke was the reincarnation of Indra, Asura's brother and Madara by combining Hashirama's own cells with his own managed to unlock the Rinnegan...could I possibly do the same?!

The factors were confusing, the pieces however were there! To unlock a Rinnegan one needed to have the Sage's chakra, that's how it worked. Either by combining the chakra of his sons, like Madara did when he infused himself with Hashirama's cells, or receive it from the sage directly.

There were people who I knew had the chakra of Asura and Indra, Naruto and Sasuke. And I knew if I asked them, they wouldn't mind giving me some blood, if I have to I could bribe Sasuke with some jutsus.

I could then combine the chakras inside me, the Hashirama cells would take to my body since I could already use the wood release, that should count for something right? And since my eyes were sharingan, Sasuke's powers should latch on pretty easily too!

It could be done...theoretically, but there came problems. One being time. Madara didn't gain his rinnegan till the end of his long life, I don't have time to wait so long, the battles I have to worry about are coming now! I need to speed up the process but how?! How...wait...that's it!

Experimentation! I had ten sharingan eyes from Danzo, if I insert some of Sasuke's blood into them and then Hashirama's cells in the arms would help mix the two parts! I can experiment with the arm, keeping it alive, after all if it worked like Zetsu clones then I should be able to control it with my wood release right? I wouldn't even need to use Naruto's blood!

And then I can experiment to figure out how to increase the conversion rate for the eyes! It's perfect!

But there were several factors I had to account for, like the fact that my skills in the medical field weren't perfect but.wait...that's it! The +10 skill scroll! If I use that I can level up the skill instantly! I didn't want to waste it on the skill before, but now if I get a chance to get a Rinnegan it would be perfect!

Now all I had to do was figure out five wood release jutsus, obtains some blood from Sasuke and start building a lab for myself to experiment in.

I had no doubt I won't find a Wood release jutsus in the library, shit like that was clan secrets. So instead I have to figure out them myself. So at around 6 in the morning I created a ten clones, each with a thousand CP and sent them out to create wood release jutsus in training ground 7, since I knew team seven won't be using it today.

I now needed to obtain Sasuke's blood...this would require a personal touch. The boy was probably awake by now, so I might as well talk to him myself.

As I left my apartment, I created ten clones and sent them off. These were instructed to find medica tools that I could use to set up my lab, things like syringes, chemical testes and even electron microscopes. I made sure they would be under henges to insure these purchases wouldn't be traced back to me. I even went so far a to make sure they only used the money in our inventory, the black money that no one could track.

I sensed out Sasuke's chakra, it was North, near the Hokage mountain. I hopped on over and found him near the edge of the Uchiha district, using the training ground there. He was punching away at a wooden pole, sweating hard.

"What did the pole ever do to you?" I asked as I landed behind him.

"Yami? What do you want?" Sasuke asked, pausing his training.

"We need to talk," I looked around, it was early in the morning, most people weren't even awake, but better safe than sorry, "in private."

Sasuke narrowed his eyes before nodding, "follow me," he said leaving the compound and entering a fancy looking apartment down the road.

"You don't live in the compound?" I asked as he took me into an apartment on the sixth floor that was well maintained and clean.

"No," was his simple reply. We sat down at the living room, Sasuke finished a glass of water and rubbed the sweat off his face with a towel, "now, what do you want?"

"I need...I need some of your blood," I said bluntly.

Sasuke's eyes widened, "what?"

I chuckled, "yeah, should have expected that."

"Why do you need my blood," Sasuke asked.

I had a perfect excuse lined up for that, it was the perfect excuse for me to gain some blood and fit in with the talk I've been meaning to have with him for some time now.

I readied myself and spoke, "I think it'll be easier if I just show," I said as I channeled chakra into my eyes and met his eyes.

Immediately Sasuke's hand reached for his kunai, "please don't' do that," I reached over and grabbed his hand, "I really don't want to hurt you."

"H-how?! How do you have those eyes?! There are only two people in the world who have them and...Itachi?!"

I chuckled, "no Sasuke, I'm not Itachi. I'm me. Do you really think someone like Itachi would just walk into a village that hates him?"

Sasuke looked at my eyes, "b-but then how?"

I smiled, "honestly? That's what I'm trying to find out," I let go of his arm and sat back down. I took a deep breath and let it out, "did you know I actually met your brother?"

"What? Where?" Sasuke asked as he quickly gave me his full attention.

"It was during a mission," I told him, "I can't give you the details, very hush hush, but I can tell you that during that mission I had to protect a client from your brother."

"Itachi attacked you?! And you lived?"

I nodded, "yeah..barely. He was a monster that man, I swear...I was going the fastest I could go, and those damn eyes of his still managed to follow me!" I sighed, "anyway...it was during that time I...I awakened my eyes. One of my teammates was injured, they got badly hurt, very badly hurt. The stress got to me, and suddenly...I could keep up with him. Suddenly, we were evenly matched."

"You awakened the sharingan?" Sasuke asked.

I nodded, "yeah...I did. Itachi himself confirmed this, it wasn't just some trick or a fake. He was genuinely shocked to see them on me, the Sharingan...he proclaimed me an Uchiha and...well, kind off left."

Lie Successful!

"H-how?" Sasuke asked.

"I asked the Hokage the same thing. I did some research and found out that my mother.she was a whore," Sasuke winced, "after the Kyuubi attack they found my body in the middle of a brothel. The theory is that my father was an Uchiha that had me with her, but since she wasn't there to say so, I was just a labeled an orphan and thrown away."

"I I'm so sorry," he said, his eyes filling with pity and hope.

I shrugged, "it's fine. I managed to make a family of my own anyway," I grinned, "Naruto's not that bad of a little brother, if you get used to the snoring."

Sasuke smiled, he actually smiled, "this is amazing Yami...you...you're an Uchiha."

I nodded, "yeah..I guess so."

"So...why do you need my blood?" Sasuke asked.

"I want to know who my father is," I told him, "I know it won't be conclusive or anything like that, but you're the only other Uchiha I know, you're the only person I can rely on for any proof of who my father was."

"Do you plan on stacking a claim for the clan?" Sasuke asked.

I snorted, "no way in hell. If people know that I'm an Uchiha it would be a problem."

"Why?"

"Because it won't be fair damn it," I spat, "I worked hard every single day since I was eight to reach the level I am right now! I fought, tooth and nail for my position and power, I didn't even awaken these damn eyes until a few months ago and if I tell people I could be an Uchiha do you know what they'll say?"

Sasuke shook his head.

"They'll say, 'of course he's an Uchiha, no wonder he's such a genius!' They'll automatically relate all my hardwork and efforts to a clan that abandoned me, that left em alone and they'll gain all the damn glory. I refuse to allow that to happen, it wouldn't be right."

"I-I'm sorry," Sasuke spoke, "if anyone had known I'm sure they wouldn't have stopped at anything to bring you home."

I waved his excuse, "it doesn't matter...they're all dead but...you. You're the only family I have left Sasuke, you and Itachi...though I don't think he count," I snorted, "and while I do love Naruto like a brother...I always wanted a family of my own.just someone I know who'll be there...look I understand if getting some of your blood is too much, I'm sorry I asked," I got up to leave, three, two, one and

"Wait," Sasuke got up.

I turned, "what?"

"How much do you need?" he asked.

"I.are you serious?" I blinked, praying my acting wasn't too bad.

"You're the only family member I have left," Sasuke spoke, "you're the only one...I'm no longer alone," he walked up to me, and hugged me. His REP went up to 90

I was so startled I didn't realise he was doing it. I was actually shocked, but before I could do anything he broke the hug and looked at me, "anything you want, all you have to do is ask Yami, I'll give it you in a heartbeat."

I blinked, "I-I...thanks...really..." I need to break this content, too much emotions! Guilt eating away. "Right then," I took out a syringe and scalpel I had brought before hand, "just ah, show me your hand."

"What's the knife for?" Sasuke asked as we sat down next to each other, he presented his arm to me without being asked.

"Since it's highly unlikely you and I are related directly, like a common grandfather or something, I'll need to be taking some cells, just to be sure," I took out around 200 ml of blood from him and then cut a little skin off his forearm. Sasuke winced at that, but I quickly healed him, relieving him off the pain.

Ping!

Sasuke's blood- (1/1)

I put the collected samples away and sighed, "I'll send these to the lab, hopefully we'll get some results soon."

"I see...please inform me what you find," Sasuke requested.

"I will, thanks...oh and...please don't mention this to the Hokage," I said with a sigh, "that man was pretty insistent I take up the last name Uchiha. If he thinks I'm interested he'll try again."

Sasuke nodded, "I won't say a word, I promise. But you know...the name would suit you. Yami Uchiha...sounds nice doesn't it?"

I chuckled, "yeah, maybe...maybe one day, when people acknowledge my talents for me, and not because of my blood."

"You do know people already do that right?" Sasuke snorted, "those Suna ninjas looked scared out of their minds."

I shrugged, "they should be."

"Yami...how did you become so strong?" Sasuke asked.

I smiled, "I told you didn't I? You fight for a goal, not for yourself. Quite worrying about the clan Sasuke, if worst comes to worst, I'll take care of that. Focus on yourself, why do you want to fight? Who is Sasuke Uchiha if not an avenger? What do you like? What matters to you?"

"Family," he replied, "family matters to me."

"Then maybe, instead of training to avenge a dead one, you should try and protect the one you have," I smiled, "you're not that alone you know. People do care about you."

"Like you?"

I nodded, "yeah, I always thought you were kind of cool, remember at the academy when you challenged me for a fight?"

He smirked, "you kicked my ass all the time."

I shrugged, "it's what I do," he snorted, "anyway...I thought you were pretty cool then, I do so now. But it's not just me you know. Kakashi cares for you like a teacher, Naruto sees you as someone he has to surpass, the village treats you with nothing but kindness."

"Only because of my name," he replied.

I nodded, "exactly. To them you are one of theirs that they failed to protect. You were a villager of Konoha, and they failed you. So they try so hard not to fail again. You think all that ass kissing was because they knew how great the Uchiha were? Please, it's because they refused to allow on of their own to be alone. That's the Will of fire Sasuke...that's the reason why I fight. So that good people like that won't' die in vain...so that people can live being open with one another. That's the reason why I fight...maybe it should be yours."

Sasuke was silent, clearly I had gotten to him.

"Listen, I have to go now, the sooner I get these blood works in the better," I got up, "thank you for doing this Sasuke and.it was nice to talk to someone about this."

"Thank you for telling me," Sasuke nodded, "I understand you didn't want to but...I will never treat you different because of that Yami."

I smiled, "thanks. Good luck on the chunin exams," I smirked, "trust me, you'll need it."

Sasuke grunted, "we're ready."

"Glad to hear that. But, just in case," I took out a dagger and tossed it to him, "if you need my help at any point during the exam, just throw this, and I'll be there instantly."

Sasuke blinked, "I thought you weren't allowed to interfere."

I shrugged, "we're ninjas, breaking rules is what we do. Just make sure you actually need my help when you throw it okay? Don't summon me for something stupid, like a written exam or something."

Sasuke nodded, "I'll keep this safe, I promise."

"Good, alright then, bye!" I then left through the window, making my way back home.

I then sat down and began working my way through the body modification books I took from the hospital yesterday. Now since my medical knowledge was MAX, I already knew all this. It seemed when I used the skill scroll, the knowledge was just grafted into my mind. How cool was that?!

About an hour later though I felt the ten clones I sent to create wood release jutsus pop and their knowledge flooding into me.

Oh.oh! I got it! I figured it out! Well not me me, the clones me!

Wood Release didn't just affect the world around me, it affected me as well! It changed my cells into nature. Wood is to barbaric a name, it should be instead called life release or something!

Chakra went into the cells of wooden life forms, like plants and trees and manipulates them through the water in their cells and the minerals. My clones took a very scientific approach to this, and I'm glad they did!

This way, my chakra, which was now in the water and earth content of the wood, was able to manipulate things! And in turn, if I controlled my own body, I manipulate it as well, controlling the water and minerals in my own body!

But it wasn't perfect, I would need to change my body into wood itself for that to happen, which was risky. Luckily though through trial and error on a shadow clones body, I managed to figure it out! Now I could transform parts of my body into wood if I had too!

This however was dangerously close to senjutsu, no wonder Hashirama was able to use senjutsu even though he didn't have a summon to teach him. Wood Release was basically senjutsu in the first place! Instead of using the trees chakra, you're using your own!

But if I train in wood release, I'm sure I can eventually get to a level where senjutsu comes easily for me...yes...this could work!

I remember one of my clones feeling out the senjutsu chakra in tree while attempting to control them. He tried to absorb it and in return his arm got turned into wood. This lead to to the discovery of how my cells could turn wood and back to normal again. The clone managed to get his arm back to normal after some time, eventually leading to the creation of the Great Forest jutsu.

I didn't have enough control to enter sage mode though, the charka my clone absorbed from the trees was only a fraction, yet in seconds his entire limb was turned into wood. I'll need to be careful about this...guess I'll just use it later.

5 Wood Release jutsus- (7/5)

Nice. Now it's time to begin experimentation. First things first, I need to be able to manipulate life using my cells, this will allow me to manipulate the cells in Danzo's arms and sharingan eyes he has.

So I had two clones go out and grab a couple of fishes from the market. I then began the medical process where I try to resurrect the fish using medical ninjutsu, but instead of that, I infused my cells with the fish, allowing my chakra to latch onto the fish's structure and begin trying to manipulate it.

While I did that the clones I sent out to buy laboratory equipment came back and began setting up the room. I left them too it and spent the rest of the day working on manipulating the fish cells using the mystical palm healing technique and my wood release chakra.

The result was...peculiar.

Ping!

You have invented a new ninjutsu skill!

Cellular Manipulation, Lv- 1 (0%)

By inserting the cells of a wood release user into an enemy, one is able to control their cells via the Mystical Palm healing jutsu.

CP- 100 per second

Chance of success- 5%

I had created an entirely new branch of medical ninjutsu. I used my own cells as a medium, controlling it through the mystical palm healing jutsu, it acted like nanobots, attacking certain parts and changed the cellular structure.

For the fish, I managed to attack it's broken down cells, manipulating them through my own blood, turning them fresh once again via the healing powers of the Mystical Palm Healing jutsu. This caused the fish to jump back to life, just like one would react after being revived by the Mystical Palm Healing, but, thanks to my cells interacting with it, I kept it alive.

Was was breathing air, I used my cells to help the gills mix the oxygen rich air, the blood kept everything inside in check, forcing it alive. I was not just reviving him, but keeping him alive!

The first twenty times, I kept failing, over and over again, but I kept at it, pushing forward. I marinated the jutsu for the rest of the day, I Didn't even have lunch...or breakfast for that matter. The jutsu needed 100 CP perscond, I produced double that amount, so I was fine.

Eventually, my grinding won out, and I managed to level the skill up over the course of the day;

Cellular Manipulation, Lv- 6 (40%)

By inserting the cells of a wood release user into an enemy, one is able to control their cells via the Mystical Palm healing jutsu.

CP- 100 per second

Chance of success- 30%

I then decided it was time to take a break. I have been working for well over twelve hours, it was time to stop. Plus, it was already fiv in the evening, the chunin exams began at four, the written test was over by now, meaning the second task would start soon. Meaning Orochimaru would be there, meaning Sasuke and Naruto would need my help.

I brought out twenty clones and instructed them to continue to practise the skill, each had a fish to use, while one had a dead rat, which I instructed to try and bring back to life. Let's see if the things I can bring back still have their brain.

I had a large meal, since I skipped breakfast and lunch, and quickly got ready for the battle ahead.

I knew the moment Sasuke summoned me I would have to fight Orochimaru, meaning I'll have to fight instantly. So I left my home and went closer to the forest of Death, I waited a kilometer away and summoned a clone that began to form a Rasen Nova Blast in the plan of my hand.

I maintained the blast, stabilized it, and kept it ready. Slowly, an hour had passed, it was now six, yet Sasuke didn't call for me. Why? Did he lose the dagger? Or was it because...that idiot!

He probably thinks I wouldn't be able to take Orochimaru! He's scared, he doesn't know what to do and Orochimaru seems unbeatable! He probably doesn't want me killing myself fighting the man!

It's been an hour since he entered the forest, I'm sure by now the snake would have tried something.

"Take us to Sasuke," I told the clone.

"Right," he grabbed my shoulder and we vanished in a blur of lighting, appearing in the middle of a forest, on a giant tree branch, right behind someone wearing a white robe with a giant purple rope.

"What?!" Orochimaru twisted his neck to see me.

"Die!" my clone grabbed the Nova blast as I jumped away. Our reflexes were ten times faster than Orochimaru's, so the snake sannin didn't even register us before my clone slammed the ball of energy at the moron.

Ping!

You gained a critical strike! DMG is multiplied by 5!

40,000 X 5 = 200,000

Orochimaru: 50,000/250,000

I looked around and saw Sasuke and Sakura huddled together, the girl looking scared and Sasuke looking surprised. I noticed Naruto unconscious and hanging off a tree branch, a kunai stuck to his jacket keeping him from falling.

"Why didn't you call me?!" I asked as landed before Sasuke and Sakura and I sent a clone to retrieve Naruto.

"H-he recognized the dagger you gave me," Sasuke spoke, "he took it before I could use it! How did you know We were in trouble?"

"I could sense his chakra approach yours," I told him as my clone with Naruto approached, "it took me some time to notice though," I lifted Naruto shirt and saw the Five Element Seal he put on Naruto's own seal. I channeled chakra into my fingertips and struck his body, removing the seal.

"What did you do?" Sakura asked in worry.

"He'll be fine," I told her handing his body over to Sasuke, "take Naruto and go, I'll take care of this."

"But-"

"-go! I'll be fine!" I felt Orochimaru's chakra move towards us at a blinding speed. He was coming for Sasuke again. I removed the Ring of Stars from my inventory and channeled wind chakra into it.

Just then Orochimaru emerged from a tree branch and launched himself at Sasuke from behind. I pushed the Uchiha away and threw the Ring at the snake, manipulating it to hit his mouth, and slice through it like a knife through butter.

Ping!

You gained a critical strike! DMG is multiplied by 5!

5,000 X 5 = 25,000

Orochimaru: 25,000/250,000

I turned to Sasuke, "go!" The Uchiha gulped and nodded, carrying Naruto away, Sakura closely following him.

I turned to Orochimaru, I held out my hand summoning the Ring of Stars back to me as Orochimaru's elongated neck hanged limply on the ground.

"You can stop pretending Orochimaru, I know you're alive," I snorted.

"Ku ku ku, well isn't this a surprise little Yami, Id don't expect you to come," out of the mouth came a brand new Orochimaru, unscared and fresh faced, he smiled his creepy ass smile, "how are you? I heard you got promoted to a jonin yes? Very impressive."

Orochimaru: 250,000/250,000

Fucking hacker! "Thanks," I shrugged, "now, what's with you and chunin exams? Can't play in the big leagues anymore? Does beating up little genin turn you on?"

"Fu, nothing like that Yami, I'm just interested in Sasuke over there, who you allowed to seep out of my fingers," Orochimaru pouted, "you really are beginning to become a thorn at my side."

"Well what are you going to do about it gay vampire?"

"Well...maybe you're right, I should just-"

"End you," a second Orochimaru appeared behind me and drove a sword through my chest. It's came out the other side clean.

The First Orochimaru crumbled into dust as the second one removed his blade, "you really should have seen that coming my boy."

"And you should have seen this," I came flying through the air, kicking him across the face as the one that was stab exploded in water.

The Orochimaru that I kicked then crumbled into dust, I turned around and leaped, landing on the ground where the real one slowly rose up like a mole hill, "ku ku ku, so you really are a sensor."

I shrugged, "I do my best,"

"Well, then I might have to kill you first before you allow me to chase after Sasuke," Orochimaru sighed, "such a shame."

"Hey snake boy, before you do that, could you tell me something. Why Sasuke?"

"Oh? Well it's simple really, it's his eyes," the man licked his lips with that grossly long tongue of his, "I want those eyes of his."

"Oh? The Sharingan? Well if you wanted those, you don't have to go after Sasuke," my eyes flashed red, "I can help you with that."

"W-What?!" he gawked in shock as suddenly I poofed into smoke. He quickly caught of, looking around for the real me.

"Hey gay boy!" I called out from above him as I went through the last hand seal of my Swift Release jutsus. He looked up and his eyes widened as he recognized the jutsus, "Swift Release: Speed times 1,000!"

He tried to shunshin away, but I was much faster. I first created two clones and sent them away into the forest to hide. I then charged up my fists with chakra, enhancing them. I charged forward and began to hit the monster over and over again, hitting vital areas like his neck, groin and head, just like last time;

Ping!

Total damage= 136,000

Orochimaru: 114,000/ 250,000

Then I took out trench knives and charged them up with wind chakra. I charged Orochimaru and cut his neck and fingers;

Ping!

500 X 5 = 2,500

Ping!

500 X 5 = 2,500

Orochimaru: 106,500/250,000

But I knew he wouldn't die, not if he could still do that molting jutsus thing that revives all his chakra. So this time I couldn't just beat him up from the outside, I needed to end him from the inside.

I cut own my hand and poured my blood into his open wounds, the one on his neck, groin and chest. I was in the last moments of the Swift Release when I activated my Mystical Palm jutsu and activated the cellular manipulation skill I had, ordering my blood to seep into his body for later use.

I then leaped away and canceled the jutsu as suddenly Orochimaru exploded in pain.

"ARGH!" he cried out as immediately he molted once more returning to full health. He panted as he looked at me, my chakra was at 500, slowly recovering.

"You could have killed me with that little Yami," Orochimaru smirked, "but now you're dead," he began to move, ready to kill me, but I immediately activated my Mystical Palm jutsu, taking control of my blood inside his now sealed body.

Orochimaru suddenly stopped, he looked horrified as he felt my cells attack his nervous system, cutting the cells in his spine, paralysing his lower back, "what are you doing?!"

"Buying myself some time," I took out a dagger and threw it at the man, hitting his chest, "now!" I cried out as I leaped away.

Immediately the two clones I made appeared before him, and held between them two Rasen Nova Blasts. Orochimaru's eyes widened in horror, he was unable to move his body, so he was forced to make his final stand.

His jaw unhinged as his snake form emerged out. The white snake form whose scales were made of snakes itself. It tried to run away by digging into the ground. My clones however weren't stupid, far from it. In fact, this was what they were waiting for.

One grabbed the snake, the other smashed the Rasen Nova Blasts headfirst into Orochimaru's body. I braced myself, the explosion that came was powerful enough to knock me off my feet.

KABOOM!

The entire Forest heard that explosion, I was sure of it. There was a bright light strong enough to blind any Hyuga stupid enough to be looking at it at this very moment. I felt heat and pushing outwards, the trees next to me caught on fire instantly as they began to burn away into nothing.

Ping!

You gained a critical strike! DMG is multiplied by 5!

40,000 X 5 = 200,000

Orochimaru: 250,000/450,000

40,000 X 5 = 200,000

Orochimaru: 50,000/450,000

That new snake form of his must have increased his HP! Just like the Sanbi did for Yagura! There's no way I'm letting this fucker get out of my sight now! He's dead!

I felt this chakra move away and I moved along with it, reaching him in seconds. "FUCK YOU BITCH!" I cried out as I went headfirst into the ground, punching it with all my might, causing the ground to splinter open as his snake form which was hiding inside came flying rock along with the rest of the ground.

Orochimaru: 43,200/450,000

I growled as I summoned three clones that launched up at him and grabbed a different part of his body, holding him tightly as I flew through hand seals, "Scorch Release: Purgatory Tsunami!"

The flames were so hot and wide they engrossed not only Orochimaru and my clones, which poofed out of existence, but also the surrounding trees, I might just burn down this fuckign forest, but there's no way in hell I'm letting the snake go!

Ping!

You gained a critical strike! DMG is multiplied by 5!

Ping!

You have gained a new title!

Vanquisher of Orochimaru- +50% more effective against snake users

I pushed the notifications away and looked around, I was right, I did overdo it with the scorch release, practically everything was burning.

I immediately formed ten clones to and put out the fires, dosing them with water. While they did that I searched Orochimaru's corps. It was a testament to his body's regenerative powers considering there even was a corpse to check out. Usually my scorch flames would be so powerful there wouldn't be a body left.

It was charred and burnt, you couldn't even make out it's face anymore, only the process of it's burnt snakeheads have any sign it was the same thing.

I noticed the flesh near the head had been the most affected, as it had gotten the front of the attack. The flesh had been ripped apart and I could see something light up inside.

Curious I opened the jaw with a flick and found a blade's handle sticking out of his mouth.

Kusanagi, S rank

A legendary sword owned by Orochimaru. It's able to grow longer or shorter based on it's users requirements. Current User: None

CP cost- 50 per second

Durability- Indestructible

DMG- 1,000

Now this was an S rank item! Fuck yeah! I grabbed the hilt and drew it out of the snake's mouth. It was shaped as a double edged blade of Chinese design, it's hilt tied off with a blue thread.

I poured chakra to test it growing powers when suddenly I got a new message:

Ping!

You are now registered as Kusanagi's new owner! It cannot change ownership unless it is dead!

I saw the ownership trun from none to Yami. Grinned and watched the sword suddenly lengthen as it grew to nearly fifty feet instantly, obey my mental command. It then grew short again, almost the size of my hand. I then ordered it to grow shorter to the length of a dagger, I quickly tucked it in into my kunai pouch on my hip.

I felt someone rushing towards me, I turned and saw Anko land before me, her eyes wide in surprise, "Y-Yami?! What are you doing here?! Did you set his place on fire?!"

I nodded, "yeah, sorry about that, but don't worry, my clones have it handled," I pointed at my clones, already putting out most of the fires.

"Fine, whatever, look I don't have time to explain, my old master has come back and I don't have time for this! So either get on board or go and warn the Hokage! I'm going after him!"

"You don't need to do that," I told her.

"What?! Why?! He ruined my life Yami! If you think-"

"-I meant, you don't have to do that anymore, because he's dead," I replied.

"W-what?!" Anko looked at me in disbelief.

"It's true," I kicked his corpse, "when you said he was a snake I didn't realise how true that statement was."

"T-that's him?" Anko blinked, "you killed him?!"

I nodded, "yup," I then took out Kusanagi, "and here's proof. I took it from his corpse."

Immediately Anko rushed me, grabbing the blade. She looked it over, checked the handle, her hands shaking, "i-it's real...it's the real blade," she looked over my shoulder at corpse, "he's dead? He's really dead?"

I nodded, "yes...he can't hurt you anymore."

Anko walked up to the corpse, she dropped Kusanagi from her hands and got to her knees. Slowly tears came rolling down her eyes, "it's over...it's finally over!" she cried loudly and strongly. I was silent as she did so, I didn't think it was right to say anything.

After a minute she stopped, she picked up Kusanagi and got up. She smiled at me, her tear marked face looking happy, like a for the first time a great weight was lifted from hs back, "here," she gave me the blade, "you killed him, it's yours."

"Thanks," I smiled taking the sword and putting it away, "I'm sorry you couldn't get revenge...I know how much you wanted it."

"Please," Anko snorted, "it's fine.you actually killed him, damn," she grinned, as suddenly she grabbed my collar and pulled me forward.

My eyes went wide as saucers as she kissed me on the lips. I froze for a second before moaning and seeping into the kiss, hungrily kissing her back;

Ping!

A skill has leveled up!

Kissing, Lv- 4 (50%)

Your ability to please someone through a kiss.

20% satisfaction

+2 REP for the next ten minutes

I whined in annoyance as she broke the kiss, "that's for...well, you know," she smiled.

"I ah...I...ah." I blinked, "I don't know how I'm supposed to react."

"Good, I would hate to think I was getting predictable," Anko grin grew wider. Just then several ninjas showed up, all chunin or higher, "about time you lot showed up! Where were you?!"

"We are here now Anko, what happened?" a chunin by the name of Toshi asked.

Anko grinned, "I'll tell you what happened! This man right here just killed the biggest traitor to the Leaf since Madara Uchiha! May I present to you, Orochimaru," she spat on the corpse once more.

"That's Orochimaru?!"

"What happened to him?"

"Isn't that Yami? The second Flash?"

I groaned, this was going to be a long day, I just know it.

Several hours later:

It was almost ten in the night now, and I found myself before the Hokage once more. The man looked at the report in his hands, the one I spent several hours writing.

He then looked down to Kusanagi, which I kept on the table and the medical report form the hospital that tested Orochimaru's charred flesh to find his DNA.

Hiruzen was silent as he placed the document down on the table, "it's him."

"Yes!" Anko cheered beside me, her smile almost like the sun, "so he's gone this time?! Really gone?!"

Sarutobi nodded, "yes, it would seem so Anko...congratulations."

Anko's smile didn't falter for a second, "hell yeah congratulations! Come on Yami! I'm getting you drunk tonight! My treat!"

I chuckled, "I'm pretty sure I'm a minor."

"You're a jounin of the village, old enough to kill, old enough to drink" Anko grinned, "come on brat! Tonight's a night of celebration!"

"While that's all good, unfortunately I still have need of Yami," Hiruzen smiled, "but you go ahead Anko, I promise I'll send him along as soon as I can."

Anko grumbled, "fine, but you better send him quickly! I'm planning on getting wasted!" and with that she left, jumping out the window screaming, "YAHOO! HE'S FUCKIGN DEAD!" at the top of her lungs over and over again.

I chuckled, "she really does remind me of Naruto."

"Yes, she does," the Hokage smiled before slowly his smile dropped and a look of remorse came upon his face as he looked at the hospital report.

"Sir? Is everything alright?" I asked, knowing it was not. I felt someone sneak up behind me, someone powerful.

"Give him some time," said the deep masculine voice, "he just lost an old student of his."

I looked over and standing next to me was Jiraiya, but instead of a happy go lucky smile there was a serious grim froan.

Jiraiya, Toad Sannin

Lv- 94

REP- 65

"You must be Jiraya," I replied, "I was wondering what you were doing sneaking around."

"You're a sensor right?" Jiraiya asked to which I nodded, "sensor's are never fun. You can't ever surprise them."

"So you heard," Hiruzen said as he put the paper away and got up, removing his hat and throwing it aside.

"I was in the area," Jiraiya replied as he came forward and took the medical report, narrowing his eyes as he read it through, "you burnt him alive?"

"Several times," I snorted, "fucker wouldn't die."

"Have care how you speak," Jiraiya growled, "he may have been a monster, but was my friend."

"He tortured hundreds of people and killed thousands more for fun," I raised an eyebrow.

"He...had his flaws," Jiraiya replied sheepishly.

"Don't make excuses for him Jiraiya," the Hokage instructed as he looked out at the village, a single tear rolling down his face, "he was a monster...we failed him."

"I suppose." Jiraiya picked up Kusanagi and looked at me, "here, it's yours now, I can sense your chakra all over it. It recognizes you as it's owner now, it won't accept anyone else."

I took the blade, "thanks, I'll make sure to put it to good use."

"I'm sure you will Yami," Hiruzen turned back around, the tear disappeared from sight as he smiled, "the blade couldn't have chosen a better owner. I'm sure whatever you choose to do...you will bring nothing but pride to Konoha and her people," I saw his REP score reach 95, "Jiraiya, the bottle."

"Right," the man nodded as he reached into his coat and took out a sake bottle that was sealed with purple wax. He placed it on the table and took out four saucers.

As he broke the sake and poured out the drinks the Hokage explained, "the day Orochimaru left the village Jiraiya swore he would bring him back. I promised him if he did, we would all share a drink in his honour."

"But I never could bring him back," Jiraiya said as he handed me a saucer, "and I realised soon that I never would...I realised the only time I would be able to drink this sake, was when he was dead."

"Tsunade isn't here to join us...so you'll have to take her place," Hiruzen took his own saucer.

"I always thought it would be one of us sannin to bring down Orochimaru," Jiraiya snorted, "not some kid who isn't even a year into his ninja career."

I smiled, "well...surprise."

"To Konoha," Hiruzen raised his cup as he threw the fourth flew at a wall, I'm guessing that one was for Orochimaru.

"To Konoha," Jiraiya and I repeated as together we all drank the sake. It tasted warm in my mouth and burnt as it went down.

I grunted, "damn, that's harsh."

The Hokage chuckled, "you'll get used to it."

"So, sensei tells me you're a writer," Jiraiya smiled, "anything I would have read?"

I shrugged, "don't know, have you heard of Stan Lee?"

"What?!" Jiraiya's eyes winded, "you're Stan Lee?!"

"Indeed," Hiruzen smiled, "he was eight I believe when he first began writing. He told me when he asked if Naruto was allowed to move in with him. I was skeptical that they could manage living together before he admitted he had a paying job. To say I was shocked was an understatement."

"Damn kid, not only are you an S rank ninja but also a world famous author? What can't you do?" Jiraiya whistled.

I chuckled, "thanks for the kind words, but you're kind of exaggerating a little."

"I would hardly think so," Hiruzen smiled, "your books are world famous. Even Iwa reads them from what I hear."

"And speaking of ninja villages," Jiraiya said seriously, "what are we going to do about Sound?"

"What do you mean?" I asked, "Sound?"

"Orochimaru was the leader of sound, the Otokage," Hiruzen explained as he sighed, "with his death, the newly formed country will begin to crumble."

"We have to be careful now," Jiraiya said as he sat on the wind sill, "the land of Sound borders the land of Fire. The could take hostile actions...and with the rumors of Suna also being restless, they could try something."

"I doubt it," Hiruzen admitted, "Orochimaru was the head of Sound. Without him they are all a headless body. Either they kill each out with infighting or they elect a new leader, who will mostly probably be much more wary about approaching us."

"And Suna?" I asked.

"Suna's hostility to us will need to be addressed," Hiruzen admitted, "if a Suna ninjas reach the finals, then the Kazekage will have to come to Konoha. I'll discuss a trade deal with them to pay them all."

"Right now, Konoha is is a good place, thanks to you kid," Jiraiya grinned, "why don't you go out and have some fun? I'm sure Anko is eager to congratulate the man who killed her tormentor. Here," he tossed me something.

I grabbed it quickly and looked, finding myself holding condoms. Immediately I blushed, "w-what the fuck?!"

"Don't go making any babies you hear!" Jiraiya chuckled.

"Y-you pervert! You-you pervy sage!" I cried out.

"Ha! That's what Minato used to call me," Jiraiya snorted.

"Go on Yami, have some fun," Hiruzen smiled, "I'll send the amount for Orochimaru's bounty into your bank account tomorrow morning. I'm sure you'll be pleased with the amount."

"How much?" I asked.

"One hundred million," Hiruzen smiled.

"O-one hundred?!" I gasped, "shit man! And I thought I was rich before!"

"Rich?" Jiraiya's ear twitched, "hey kid, mind if I borrow some cash?"

"And that's my cue to leave," I said leaping out the window, hearing Hiruzen and Jiraiya laughing behind me.

I sighed as I felt the relaxing evening air hit me. I jumped down to the road and sighed as I cracked my shoulders. It was getting late, I might as well go home and complete the experiments. The clones I left behind had disappeared some time ago and could now not only revive a fish, but regrow certain parts using my cells as a substitute.

And the clone I left to manipulate the rat corpse found our cells didn't just revive them, but when working on the brain, could rework it. This obviously needed further experimentation but-

"YO! Yami!" Anko tackled me to the ground, I was so distracted I didn't notice, "where the hell are you going?!"

I blinked as she grabbed my by the collar, "ah...I was looking for you of course."

Anko grinned, "damn right you are! Come on! We're going to get wasted!" she dragged me into a bar and we began to drink, and drink and drink.

And surprisingly I got a status update around my tenth shot in;

You are now drunk. Good night!

The next day:

I groaned, my eyes were heavy, but my head was clear, no headache. Did I get a hangover? I groaned as I looked up and saw several message;

WHAT THE FUCK?!

I dismissed the window and immediately saw the giant lump under my bed sheets snuggled next to me. I carefully pulled up the covers and froze at the sight of Anko's bare naked body currently wrapping her arms around my torso.

I looked around, we were in my room in my new apartment. Our clothes had been thrown all over the room in disarray and my writing desk had been smashed right down the middle.

"Close the curtains," Anko mumbled as she rubbed her eyes, "I'm trying too." she slowly looked up. My red face met her gaze. We stared at each other for a moment before we both opened our mouths at the same time.

"AARGHHHH!"
