Yami: The Gamer Kage

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 aroun
