Chapter 41: Skipping Times Like Skipping Stones

[Following events are not necessarily back to back, they just happen during the three year time skip.]

I reached Orochimaru's base where he was waiting like a robot next to him was Kabuto.

Seeing me come in they bowed as they greeted me, not gonna lie it creeps me out but anyway.

Orochimaru is still somewhat "aware" of what's going on around him unlike Danzo and Kabuto so I got him draw up a training schedule for ninjutsu training to teach me whatever he knows.

I also need to work on my EMS abilities, after all jutsus are like muscles, practice helps immensely. As I was going inside the facility I got tackled by a red missile.

"You're that cool kid that saved me during Chunin exams right, I can't be mistaken about this chakra." Karin is here as well.

I am going around Kirigakure, this place certainly has seen better days, from the rumors I hear there's still a group that isn't happy with Mei being the Mizukage but it seems Zabuza and Haku are doing a good job cleaning them up.

"Standing, on the edge, of the crater...." I keep singing, it's been a good cover for me.

A foreign musician singing songs of another language. Morgan said it's crazy Anko said wouldn't work but it's working.

And they owe me a maid roleplay hehe~

"Bijuu kazoe uta! Hajimari! Hajimari!

Hitotsu, hito yori inemuri, Shukaku

Futatsu, FIRE moeteru, Matatabi..."I keep singing along with Karin on the side, she was all too eager to please me so she kinda does whatever I ask.

By the end of the song we reached another Orochimaru base where he is going to release the prisoners for us to fight as training.

"Well I had fun, let's go handle this Karin."

"Yeah it was a catchy song Sasuke-kun thanks for teaching me." Karin nods happily and her mood reflected on her performance where she was able to summon her chains.

She can't summon them like Kushina does she needs an emotional trigger most of the time but she's getting there.

I also mastered Chidori series jutsus that OG Sasuke created now I am experimenting on my own.

"...Just another hero, CAN'T YOU HEAR CRIES FOR HEEEELP!..."

Turns out Kiri doesn't like strangers, I dodged as I kept singing. It's hard not to kill or maim people I mean I am trying to fuck their leader and it would paint me in a bad light.

"Stop singing bastard!"

"Nope *Continues singing*"

"Arghhh!" Seeing him getting crazed I knocked him out and turned to block a sword.

"Chojuro I am assuming"I greet the blue haired swordsman.

"You know me?"

"Seven swordsman candidate, as a swordsman myself of course I would know." I explain while we are trading blows.

He kinda understood I was the one got attacked first or he was just trying to buy time for Mei to arrive.

Then she came spewing lava on me no questions asked kinda hot(Pun intended), I was never this glad that I have teleportation, my clothes would be ruined.

"Who are you?" Mei asks coldly.

"They attacked first!" I point out while an Kiri anbu gives a scroll to Mei.

"Travelling musician... also a swordsman apparently would you come for questioning or should I take you cutie." God she's thirsty She should be 27 it's not that old

"If you're the one that's going to do the questioning I am down." And I was taken to the Kiri's T&I for a fun chat with their Mizukage.

*Ethan playing Iron Man on guitar hero*

"He kinda let himself go after leaving Konoha." Anko comments on the side.

"He felt like he needs to follow canon to get his hands on EMS earliest possible but now that he is free." Morgan ends her analysis with a shrug.

"Well, he's certainly more fun like this."

"Now Ethan Ambrosius, let's get this right you're a wandering musician/swordsman that went on a journey to find... a wife?" Mei asks from her chair across me, I can tell it got her attention.

"Yeah I am looking for my third or fourth wife!" I answer with a big smile, making Mei freeze then she starts drawing circles on the table muttering about lost opportunities.

It seems she didn't register that I have multiple wives before I can point that out Ao barges in and takes Mei out before taking over the interrogation.

They didn't get anything out of me, they were just going to get rid of me but Mei had me "released" it appears they're just going to investigate me.

Getting out of T&I I immediately start singing like it's highschool musical.

"Everybody is Kung Fu fighting!..."

I look at the scene in front of me with disgust and turn to Morgan with an expression asking her to explain what the fuck am I witnessing.

"Those Cthulhu Ice Creams were just getting wasted in your inventory." She shrugs.

"Why use it on Orochimaru, why not some hot chick so it would be at least somewhat pleasant to watch."

"I ran out of female minions." Morgan says and goes back to watching Cthulhu Ice Cream whip Orochimaru.

I threw that memory back in my mind where I built a dungeon for them.

- Ethan -

Senjutsu is a technique that involves taking the natural energy in the atmosphere and merging it with your chakra in equal parts to enhance your abilities.

The danger lays in the balancing act because you would need to focus on three types of chakra at once, the mental, physical and senjutsu chakra.

Those all mean shit to me, Ehtan doesn't posses chakra like everyone else, I could have gotten it through ninshu from Sasuke but why bother.

Now this plays in my benefit because even if I don't have chakra I have prana coursing through my body and it's just one type instead of two like it's with chakra.

So I breathe in the natural energy reach an equilibrium in my dragon core and keep it like that.

"Ten minutes without any adverse effects but no visible changes neither Ethan try out spells or just your dragon breath." Morgan asks on the side she already covered me with electrodes and medical sensor seals.

Nodding I go over some spells and note that there's indeed an increase in output. Then trying my dragon breath ended up with all three of us having a drug fueled night full of sex.

It was confirmed that my breath gotten stronger.
