Yami: The Gamer Kage

A month later:

We were in the inner chambers of the Mizukage office, I now wore the common ninja gabr a jounin of Konoha wore. Since my jacket, armour, hood, mask and headband got destroyed thanks to Yagura, I was forced to borrow gear from my allies.

I so wish I hadn't gotten my coat destroyed, that thing was so cool! And a super rare item! ARGH! Now I wish I killed that stupid three tailed freak!

The only things I still have on me is the power belt which gives me +5 STAR, such a pain.

The month since Yagura's 'death', went quickly and kind of boring for me. After they discovered Yaga's severed leg, which my clone had left behind, people were more ready to accept the fact that he was in fact dead.

Soon the rumours of my battle with the man was spread all across Kiri, and I suspect, all across the Elemental Nations. I overheard some of the rumors and they were getting wilder and wilder. The weirdest one I heard was when I defeated Yagura by summoning a fleet of dragons that fused together to form a giant Ryu who's flames were responsible for destroyed the lake bed, now called the 'Field of Purple Lava'.

Anyway, after that it was a long and boring process of rounding up all rouge Kiri ninjas and bring them all to justice. The ninjas inside Kiri's gates gave up easily enough and Mei has had her hands full for the past weeks getting everything sorted.

I was also busy releasing prisoners for my inventory. It took me all day as I had to make sure none of them tried to escape or die along the way. It was a long process, usually I just had a clone do it while I spent the rest of the time going on patrol to bring back the escaping Kiri ninjas.

And now, finally, after a week, Mei had finally called us into her new office. We walked in and found her sitting behind the desk wearing a white and blue robe. Zabuza and Haku were by her side, both now official Kiri ninjas wearing jonin gear common with the land.

And along with them there was another ninja present, Ao, the man with the transplanted Byakugan. The man had come three days after the fight with Yagura and had been instrumental and bringing the people to Mei's side.

His REP score for me was at 68, but he still creeped me out, weirdo.

Mei smiled, "hello, I suppose this is long overdue."

1 nodded, "Mizukage."

"1, Yami," she smiled, "first, I wish to issue an official thanks from Kiri to Konoha. Without your help this war would have gone on for much longer and would have been much bloodier. For your help in it's speedy conclusion, I the fifth Mizukage, thank you."

We all bowed, "you're welcome Lady Mizukage," 1 replied as he took out a sealed scroll, "I was instructed by the Hokage to deliver this to you."

"What is it?" she asked.

"He didn't say, it was for your eyes only ma'am."

She broke the seal and read it, her eyes narrowing before she smiled, "well, this is fun. Alright, I understand. Don't worry, it's nothing bad, just the promise of a strong friendship."

1 bowed, "ma'am."

"And now, the sword," Zabuza spoke up, glaring at me.

"Right," I walked forward, "do you have the containment seal?"

"Yes," Zabuza motioned over to Haku to brought forth a giant human sized scroll that she opened up on the Mizukage's desk, "place Samehada on the scroll, it won't be able to escape."

I nodded as I opened my inventory and did just that, placing the sword's handle on the seal, immediately it tried to move away, screaming loudly. I was about to activate Swift Release to catch it, when suddenly it stopped moving and screaming and just dropped down still, like a normal sword.

"Seal," Mei said as she poured chakra into the score, sealing the sword into it. Haku then rolled the scroll and took it away, leaving the office.

"Thank you for returning one of the greatest treasures of this land Yami," Mei said with a smile, "I suppose you were right, we never did need that relique to obtain victory. We just needed you, someone who was powerful enough to defeat a biju all by himself."

I chuckled, "yeah well I barely did that. I hell, I almost died twice."

"Still, Kiri owes you," Mei smiled, "if you require any help in any form, you can always turn to us. We don't forget, we'll always remember."

I bowed, "thank you lady Mizukage."

"You're welcome. Now, I don't meant to sound rude, but I'm sue you're all missing home. When do you leave?"

"Tonight if possible," 1 replied, "that is is Yami's feeling up to it."

I nodded, "it'll be fine."

"Well I'm certainly sad to see you go," Mei smiled, "it's not often such a handsome thing like you comes along."

I blushed, "hehe, yeah. Don't worry, I'm sad too, you're literally the second hottest woman I've met, the first being a kunoichi in Kumo, so I'll be sad leaving."

"Oh? Does that mean I'm prettier than every woman in Konoha?" she asked in a baiting smile.

"Yup," I smiled and immediately realised what I said, "ah, I mean, no! Not everyone woman in Konoha- it's just-" I felt killing intent radiate out from my masked female companions as they all slowly turned to me, glaring hole at me back.

I grumbled, "hey it's my fault she's hotter than you! It's also not my fault she has the biggest rack! Honestly, stop trying to kill me with your looks!"

"Oh boy," 5 gulped, "he should have not said that."

"Yami," 2.2 said in a very sweet voice, "you're going to regret those words."

I gulped, "ah...mercy?"

That night:

Mei and the other high level Kiri ninjas gathered at the docks to see us off. Everyone who we fought side by side was there, Koro, Krill, now without a mask, a couple of chunin I worked with and also Yukiko, who was now staying with Mei as her adoptive sister.

Yukiko blinked, "are you okay Yami? You looked hurt."

I chuckled, "y-yea well, things happened," I was covered with bruises that 2.1 and 2.2 refused to let me heal, threatening even more pain if I do so.

"Okay….Yami...I'm sorry I can't come with you to Konoha," she said in a quiet voice.

I smiled, "it's fine, Kiri is your home Yuki, you shouldn't' have to be sad."

"B-but I promised-"

I waved he offed, "it's fine. Just promise me you'll come to visit once in awhile and we'll call it even, okay?"

Yukiko smiled, "deal! Big sister Mei said that I can join the academy soon and become a ninja like you!"

"I said I'll think about it Yuki," Mei said with a roll of her eyes, "after all you're too old anyway, so unless you can catch up no academy for you."

"Bu-but-"

"Then I guess she'll just have to catch up then huh?" I said with a smile.

Yukiko smiled, "right! I'll do just that!"

"See you all around," Zabuza waved, "give the old monkey my best."

"I hope to see you all soon," Haku bowed.

"Have a safe journey," Ao nodded.

"Don't worry, we'll be fine," I smiled as the team gathered around me. I made twenty clones, one for each person and they all vanished in a flash of blue lightning.

I was the last one left, I turned to Mei and winked, "hey, if you're ever in the situation where you're desperate for a lover, call me okay?"

"W-what?!" Yukiko blushed red.

"You little brat!" Ao growled, "don't talk to a Kage like that!"

Zabuza sighed, "typical."

"Well...maybe if you grow a beard," Mei chuckled.

I shrugged, "hey, it can happen," I winked and then took off in a blur of speed, vanishing before their eyes.

The team and I appeared in the Hokage's office. The moment we appeared the ANBU hidden side sprung out, drawing their tanto and leaving them at us while Hiruzen just raised an mildly impressed eyebrow.

"Identification papers," the ANBU with the bear mask asked.

1 handed ours over, they spent a moment looking them over before nodding and stepping back into the shadows.

"Report," the Hokage spoke.

"Sir..." 1 then gave a verbal report of everything that happened since we last met, giving him a quick recap of all our duties and actions. Finally ending with my battle with Yagura and Mei's new position.

"I see, I heard the rumors from Kiri of course, but I never would have believed them," the man looked to me and smiled, "so, a phoenix contract eh?"

"No really sir," I replied, "it was a custom summon I just happened upon during one of my experiments with the time space ninjutsu arts. I found several creatures, though not quite clans of animals, were unique. I managed to tame six of them into working for me. Hinokami is my strongest one."

Lie successful!

"I see, well be careful when dealing with fuinjutsu, especially space time ninjutsu, they're especially dangerous."

I nodded, "yes sir."

"Yami stay, the rest of you dismissed, go home, you have earned a month off. The mission to stop the civil war in Kiri has been officially completed with great success," he instructed.

Ping!

Damn, I so want that recipe scroll! But unfortunately I couldn't get it right now.

Immediately everyone else vacated, eager to go home, leaving only me and he Hokage in the office. Sarutobi then looked to me and sighed, "I have to say Yami, you have a way of surprising me every time I see you."

I shrugged, "such is life."

"Over a six months ago you were a chunin, now you're an S level ninja."

"Wait what?"

He put down the bingo book, it looked like this months' edition. I picked it up and turned to the bookmarked page.

I blinked, "well this is flattering. Wait, why does it mention my age wrong?"

The Hokage blinked, "did you honestly forget?"

I blinked, "wait...was it my birthday?"

"Yes...three weeks ago...Naruto was angry that you missed it, but he understood you had an important mission," the Hokage sighed.

I nodded, "right, thanks for explaining it to him. Damn...so...this is kind of cool huh?"

"You don't understand the gravity of the situation here Yami," the Hokage said going into his serious mode, "you're now a target, and a big one. That goal you had for yourself? Becoming a new icon that others would think twice about messing with? Well congratulations, you have achieved it. People are comparing you to the Fourth, claiming how you're his second coming."

I groaned, "fuck me."

"Yes, some want exactly that," the man smiled seeing my confused look, "your popularity has made you famous with Kouchis, I suggest to take to wearing your mask and hood once more, it'll be safer for you that way."

I grumbled, "fuck me! That's just what I need! Bloody fan girls!"

"Yes well, such is the bane of all competent shinobis," the man smiled, "but in all seriousness Yami, I'm proud of the man you turned out today. When I heard what you did, fighting off Yagura to allow civilians to escape...honestly your dream of a united world is becoming more and more of a reality everyday."

"Oh please, you never believed in that dream," I scoffed.

"True...but after seeing what you can do? After knowing the kind of person you are….I honestly can't think otherwise," the man smiled, "I suspect Naruto might have a competitor for this hat."

I shook my head, "in all honesty? No way, I would rather die than put on that hat and be stuck as a paper pusher. No offense old man, but your job sucks."

He groaned, "you could at least sugar coat it a little."

"That was sugar coating it."

"Ha, maybe you're right," the man laughed, "maybe this is a useless and thankless job. But….that doesn't change the fact Yami, the way things are going, you're far more qualified to become Hokage than most ninjas I know. It's going to be a long time before Naruto ever even qualifies."

I blinked, "a-are you serious?"

The man nodded, "you're the perfect candidate...which is why it's all the more sadder than you don't wish for the hat."

I chuckled, "yeah...I guess that is a twist...lord Hokage, there is another matter I wish to discuss with you."

"What is it?" the man asked, his glare now serious.

"Alone sir," I motioned to the 'hidden' ANBU, "this could be a potential S rank secret, maybe higher."

"Is it about your parentage?" he asked in wonder.

"No sir...it's something else," I replied.

"Right..." the man made several handsets causing the ANBU to leave and sval sound blocking seals go up, from what I could tell they were all S rank and above.

"So, what is it that you wanted to tell me?" he asked.

"Yagura isn't dead, I managed to capture him alive and am holding him in my status seal," I told the man.

Tick tock, that way the sound of his pipe hitting the floor as his jaw hanged open in shock. "N-no way," he blinked, "I think I'm having a stroke."

I formed the horse seal activating the mystical palm healing jutsu, "er, you're joking right?"

"I hope," he sighed rubbing his nose, "Yami, what the hell were you thinking?! I understand gaining a Biju for ourselves is a great boost in power, but we are just forming an alliance with Kiri! An extremely fragile one at that! A stunt like this will-"

"-He under a genjutsu cast on him by someone with a Mangekyou sharingan," I cut the old man off.

His eyes widened, "w-what?"

"I was about to kill him, really, I was. But just then I felt the presences of a secondary chakra signature running around his mind, altering it. It felt like the chakra signature Itachi used when he tried to cast his genjutsu on me."

"But why would Itachi put the Mizukage under control?" the Hokage asked.

"It wasn't Itachi," I shook my head, "it was someone else. I know Itachi's chakra, that wasn't it."

"Are you telling me there's another Uchiha alive out there? One with the Mangekyou sharingan?" the Third looked serious now.

I nodded, "yes sir. And if my guess is correct, this genjutsu is the reason why Yagura acted so...cruelly, ordering the death of bloodline clans leading to the civil war. He is….under this Uchiha's influence. So you see, I thought this could be useful...or if Kiri found this out, potentially deadly."

"You….you did the right thing Yami," Sarutobi grumbled, "and you're sure he won't be able to escape your storage space?"

"No sir. It's impossible. Only I can release him," I nodded.

"Then keep him with you until we can put him away in a prison he can't break out off," he grumbled, "so much damn paper work! I'll have reassign the entire sealing corps to this as well as put several Yamakas to the process of wiping the genjutsus from his mind. Damn it Yami! If you're going to give me this much work you could at least help by doing some of the god damn paper work!"

I chuckled, "you could just use shadow clones you know."

The man stopped, his eyes widening to a comical degree, "w-what?!"

I sighed, "how the hell do they consider you the Professor when you can't even think of such a stupidly simple solution?"

"Shadow Clone jutsu!" he ignored me and cried out, summoning five clones of himself, "divided the work and get to it!"

"But we don't want to," one grumbled.

"B-bu-"

"-And if you force us we'll just dispel," another snorted.

The Hokage grumbled, "fine! I'll do some with you! Is that enough?"

The clones shrugged and began to work, the Hokage himself looking tired. He turned to me and nodded, "thank you for that, this will make things so much easier Yami."

I shrugged, "it's fine...by the way lord Hokage, have you found anything about my past? My parents? Anything?" I was genuinely curious, did the game mechanics change the real world in any way?

"I'm sorry Yami, btu I could not find anything," the Hokage sighed, "I had one of my best investigating teams on it, but they couldn't find out anything, except for the fact that you were brought to the orphanage by a chunin named To Akuma the day after the Kyuubi attack. He was in charge of gathering the dead children of the shinobis that died that day.

"However, he found you in the wreckage of a building in the South side which is popular for...the more adult situations of a ninja's life. So as far as we can tell, you were a child of a shinobi, but we couldn't track down who's or how they died. But...seeing as your eyes speak for themselves, I suppose at least one of your parents were an Uchiha."

"The south side?" I groaned, "that's...the red light district."

The Hokage nodded, "yes, it would seem so."

"So...chances are my mother was a prostitute and my father was an Uchiha that knocked her up," I clicked my teeth, "damn."

"I understand this is difficult for you Yami, but no one will ever judge you for the actions of your parents. We only care about one thing, the man you are today," the man smiled, "and from what I see, you're origins are far outshined by your actions."

I sighed, "yeah...thanks...I guess that's a good thing huh? If my mom had brought me to the Uchiha clan I would be dead right now, I guess she did the right thing," it was a lie, I know, but I had to act the part, keep up appearances.

"Have you told anyone?" I asked.

"I've spoken to the elders about this," Sarutobi continued, "they were...furious that I let you go on the Kiri mission."

"What did you do?" I asked.

The man smiled, "nothing. The moment news arrived of your defeating a jinchuriki all on your own they shut up. They objected before, since you were one of the few last Uchiha remaining your safety was their top priority. But now, since you have proven even a biju isn't a match for you, they're far more open about this."

I groaned, "I'm surprised Danzo of all people didn't object."

"Oh he had concerns at first," Hiruzen nodded, "but after the Yagura incident he backed down. He actually suggested I give you the full rank of jounin and assign a genin team to you."

I blinked, "please don't! The last thing I need is baby sitting duty!"

The Hokage chuckled, "don't worry, I wasn't planning on it. After all, if you do have a genin team that means you can't take any of the high risk missions that are beginning to obtain."

"Oh hell yes," I grinned at the idea of B and A ranked missions, "when do I begin?"

"A month from now," he replied, "after all, I'm sure you have things to do. Naruto is missing his older brother and I'm sure Sasuke would love to be told that he isn't alone anymore."

"So I have permission to tell him?" I asked surprised.

The Hokage nodded, "yes, and not just him," he took out a form, it was a copy of my ninja papers, except in this one I had a last name, 'Yami Uchiha'.

I sighed, "damn."

"What's wrong? Do you not want people to know?" the old man asked.

"It's not that it's just...all this time I worked hard and fought for my position and place. I didn't even know I was an Uchiha until these eyes popped up after I became a tokubetsu jonin. Now when people find out they'll think it's destiny that I became so powerful, after all an Uchiha is a genius, so why isn't a surprise that he became powerful?"

"I see...well, I understand why you would feel anguish over this Yami, but trust me, people will know the difference. The people who matter. They will know that you didn't gain your title and status because you're an Uchiha, but because you worked for it."

I sighed, "that may be sir, but I'm not going to call myself an Uchiha," I pushed the papers away, "I've been just Yami all my life, and now that I made something off myself, now I get a name? Fuck that. It's like a man abandoning his son, but coming back once the son's makes himself rich by hard work. So if it's all the same to you, I'll keep my name how it is."

The Hokage nodded, "that's reasonable Yami," he took the form and put it away, "very well, as per your request I'll keep your official name out of the papers. But, make no mistake, as far as Konoha is concerned, you are an Uchiha. You may use your eyes and reveal your true origins as per your discretion, but be warned, once you tell people, they will treat you differently Yami."

I shrugged, "I can deal with that. Thank you lord Hokage, this means a lot to me."

The old man smiled, "you're welcome. Now, I'm sure you're exhausted, go on, go home. We'll speak again after your month long break is over."

I nodded, "right," I then activated the seal I kept in my bedroom and flushed away, appearing inside my room which was exactly how I left it.

I opened my senses and found Naruto in his room and Misu in her's, which was my work room that had been remodeled into serving as the older woman's bedroom. I quickly took off my jacket and clothes, slipping into something more comfortable before hitting the bed. I was asleep almost immediately, damn it felt good to be home.

The Next Day:

"Of course I'm going dattebayo!" came a loud scream through the house that woke me up.

I grumbled as I woke up and rubbed my eyes, it was around 7 in the morning. Who the fucks wakes up at seven in the morning and is so goddamn chirpy?!

"Naruto! You need to eat breakfast first!" Misu cried out, "you know Kakashi is always late anyway! And you can't start your day without a proper meal!"

"But grandma!"

"No buts!"

I groaned, 'Uzumakis, all loud and fucking annoying. And a fucking pain in the ass! I so need to buy myself a new apartment.'

"Fine! But if I'm late I'm blaming you!" Naruto cried out.

"Will you both shut up!" I threw open the door, "I'm trying to fucking sleep here!"

"Yami?!" Misu gassed.

Naruto turned form his chair and gasped, his eyes going wide, "Yami! You're back! When did you come home?!"

"Last night," I yawned, "I see some things never change. How have you two been?"

"I'm great!" Naruto cheered, "my team and I saved a princess!"

I blinked, "say what now?"

Naruto chuckled as he began to explain his mission to Snow. It went exactly the same as the movie, they came, they saw, they kicked some ass. And now the land was called the Land of Spring, which was nice.

IT seems along the way Sasuke gained his sharingan, which was nice, I didn't want to think because he never faced Haku and Zabuza his growth was stunted.

So now we sat together, eating the breakfast Misu had made, Naruto winding up his story. "So Naruto, where are you going now?" I asked.

"Eh? Oh, I'm going to meet Kakashi sensei and the others! We're going to have a team meeting at 8!"

I nodded, "I see. Mind if I tag along?"

"Sure! But, don't you have anything to do?" he blinked.

"No, I have some time off," I winked.

"Cool!" Naruto grinned, "then let's do it!"

"So what have you been doing for the past four months Yami?" Misu asked.

I winked, "sorry grandma, but that's a secret."

"Oh come on! Can't you tell us anything?!" Naruto whined.

"Well I can tell you that it had something to do with Kiri, but that's it," I grinned seeing him groan. I put the chopsticks away and got up, "anyway, give me a moment and I'll be with you."

I quickly changed and Naruto and I left, saying goodbye to Misu. We then took off on the roofs, rushing towards training field seven. Well, rushing for Naruto, for me this was like a slow jog.

"We did it!" Naruto cried out as we reached the training field, only see Sakura, Sasuke and Kakashi there waiting for us.

"You're late idiot!" Sakura cried out.

"What?!" Naruto gasped, "b-but Kakashi sensei is on time?! How?!"

"Well when it's important I don't show up late," Kakashi replied with a shrug.

"Important?! What's so important?!" Naruto asked.

"I'll tell you, wait for a moment," he waved Naruto down before turning to me and nodding, "hello Yami, I'm glad to see you back home."

"Kakashi," I nodded, "how have you been?"

"Good, can't complain. I heard what you did in Kiri, I have to say, I was very impressed, not many ninjas can survive an attacked from a biju, let alone defeat one."

I shrugged, "it was a combination of luck and skill honestly."

"Hm, from what I heard you came out of that fight with only a broken hand and tattered armour. Other than that you didn't have a scratch on you."

I nodded, "yeah. I ended up losing my battle cloak though, which was kind of disappointing."

"Wait, what happened Kakashi sensei?" Sakura asked, "what did Yami have to face?"

"Sorry Sakura, but that's classified," Kakashi replied.

"Yeah, that's what Yami said too," Naruto huffed, "he wouldn't even tell me what he did!"

"Well...I suppose I could tell you one thing," Kakashi replied, gaining all three genin's attention, "you see Yami over there fought and won against a Kage level opponent."

"What?! A kage level enemy?!" Naruto cried out, "like jiji?!"

Kakashi nodded, "yes, like the Hokage."

"How did you get so strong?" Sasuke asked me.

I shrugged, "I told you, training, planning and skill. You can do it too, you just have to train smart instead of hard."

Sasuke narrowed his eyes and grunted, turning back to Kakashi while Naruto spoke, "just you watch Yami! Soon I'll get strong enough to beat you too! I'll become a jonin too!"

"Well first you'll have to become a chunin Naruto," I chuckled.

"Alright, enough chit chat," Kakashi spoke before Naruto could reply, "it's time for some training. Yami, you want to stick around and watch?"

I shrugged, "sure, why not. I'll just be over there if you need me."

"Right, now, Naruto, let's work on your taijutsu..."

I walked away and sat down under the shade of a tree. I watched them train for a while, focusing on taijutsu today. After a moment I decided to work on myself instead of just wasting time.

I opened my inventory and took out the jutsu scroll I gained as a reward for the Kiri quest;

Ping!

You have learnt a new jutsu!

Water Release: Water Clone, C rank

User creates clones by using water as a medium, the clones possess one-tenth of the user's power and cannot go too far from the original.

CP- 500

Range- 50 feet

Hm, the range limit thing is surprising, but I'm glad I have a second clone jutsu, could be useful. I then took out the one I've been most excited for, the recipe scroll.

Ping!

You have obtained a recipe scroll! Would you like to learn it?!

Y/N?

I pressed yes and;

Ping!

The scroll is based on the chakra natures you control! You have three options to chose from!

Chakra blade types available:

Wind

Fire

Lightning

Earth

Water

Scorch

Swift

Wood

Lava

Boil

Power

Okay, so I have three choices now, that's good, I don't think I could pick just one.

My first choice is Wind, since obviously it would help cutting things. Then would be Scorch, which is slowly becoming my favorite nature release and then...hm, why not go with my most powerful release? Power. It's impossible to create jutsus for it, but it's still powerful and I can still use it.

Ping!

Are you sure these are your choices?

Y/N?

I selected yes and the menu disappeared as the knowledge to make the three chakra blades entered into my head.

Hm, so that's how, I'll have to introduce the chakra natures during the process of smelting along with oiling it up with a condensed oil mixed with my own chakra. Hm, I could use this. Maybe it's time I made myself a weapon.

Ping!

Quest Alert!

Create yourself a weapon!

Rewards:

A new weapon!

2, 000 EXP!

Failure:

Waste of chakra ore

Do you accept?

Y/N?

I said yes and closed the menu. I then opened my inventory and looked through it, finding two skill scrolls inside. Both were +10. I looked over my skills and decided to use one on my chakra enhanced strength skill;

Chakra enhanced strength, Lv- 26 (0%)

Channel chakra into different parts of your body and unleash it with pinpoint accuracy to cause a large amount of damage.

CP cost- 80 per minute

DMG: 40 X STR

I saved the second scroll for later, never know when you could need it in cases of emergencies. I then took out the last reward I gained from the quest, a piece of armour.

It was several black plates tied together with an elastic chain mail that seemed to be able to stretch like cloth. The plates were metal from what I could tell and when I slipped it on, the bands seemed to stretch open before locking back into place, grabbing my limb in a vice.

The forearm were vambracers with a hidden pocket for a kunai on the under arm. There were plates around the bicep and a demon's head on the shoulder stretching outwards with two horns and an oni smile.

The part covering my palms were fingerless with a metal plate on the back of my hand and soft pads on my palms. There were reinforcements around my wrist to prevent it from getting hurt and metal caps over the knuckles.

There were several hidden pockets along the arm, enough space for scrolls and weapons along with a real of wire hidden behind the demon's head.

Right arm plated armour, S rank

Armour crafted by a legendary smith whose name is lost to time. The armour is covered with armour that is virtually unbreakable and cloth that can't be cut by normal kunai. The entire piece of made of a special chakra metal that gets strengthened when supplied with chakra.

Durability- 10,000/10,000

Bonus- 100 CP to double durability

Hidden abilities- ? (Self discovery)

I raised an eyebrow at that last one, self discovery? Meaning I had to figure it out? What a load of crap. Fine, at least it had cool stats, that's enough for me I guess. Plus, it does look pretty cool. Hm, I wonder what will happen if I punch someone with this?

I then spent the rest of the morning just watching them train, intent on just wasting away time. But at around noon though I decided enough was enough and I needed to get back to work. I said goodbye to team seven and walked back into town.

I went over to my editor's publishing office and entered his office. Baroma greeted me eagerly, closing all the curtains and doors to give us some privacy.

"It's been a long time since I saw you last," he said as we sat down at his table, the covers of my book framed and hanging on his wall.
