2 Swords can slice, Wind can kill

It was 4 years after Naruto was adopted. Demon child, Snake's spawn, Snakes love child, all of those names were used against the forsaken child. When Orochimaru was being Orochimaru, he felt a tinge of guilt every time he experimented with the boy. It was not a lot of guilt but it was still there.

"Naruto, today we will be learning about kunai and shurikens. They can be used in many different forms, traps, projectiles, and melee weapons."

One trait Orochimaru found odd was his talent, he soaked everything in like a sponge. Orochimaru was, for the lack of a better word, proud of Naruto. He even looked through mental physiology to find out what that weird feeling was.

Naruto pumped his arms in excitement. Orochimaru chuckled at the little gesture.

"Kunai can be used as melee weapons and projectiles. They are more versatile then shurikens but doesn't do a great job at what it does. Shurikens can be used as a melee weapon but the usual variant is not advised over kunai. Shurikens are better at throwing at the opponent and due to its empty circle in the middle, you can throw it better and attack a string to the shuriken to change its direction and many other tasks. When thrown, kunai can have tags attached to them, usually explosive tags are placed."

Orochimaru explained with a smile and patience with Naruto nodding his head. After Orochimaru explained about kunai and shurikens, Naruto threw them all and it landed on the target on the first try. Orochimaru just wipes his eyes and blinks to look at the target again. Still there.

"Good job, Naruto!"

Orochimaru claps his hands together and makes Naruto keep repeating throwing shurikens and kunai at the target, all of them hitting in the middle. Orochimaru eventually summoned a snake and had Naruto target practice on a moving target. Naruto automatically hit the eyes of the snake and killed it. At this point, Orochimaru isn't surprised at the slightest. He then explained many subjects like chakra natures, bloodlines, chakra in general, and the history of Konoha with Naruto having as much talent in understanding the subjects as practical subjects like shuriken throwing and taijutsu.

Orochimaru wonders if the bloodlines he implanted into Naruto increased his talent to astronomical levels.

I yawn as I walk down the dusty road. The usual glares and 'demon' comments happen and I just sigh as I look at the lake. I see a black-haired kid about my age so I walk up to him. He has the Uchiha crest on his back and he looks... lonely.

"Yo! My name is Naruto Uzumaki!"

I held out my hand for a handshake.

"Hi, my name is Sasuke Uchiha."

He said plainly, he is one of the only people my age that won't run away from me, I sure as hell ain't going to waste it!

"Hey, ever skipped rocks?"

"No, why?"

I grab him by the collar of his shirt and drag him.

"Then we are even, I never skipped rocks either!"

During that afternoon, the two boys were trying to get a one-up on each other each time they compete.

'Why do I feel like I just got my ass handed to me by an Uchiha and a blondie? Weird.'

_____

Naruto gets on all fours and rushes towards Orochimaru. Orochimaru justs stands with his hands on his back. Naruto jumps while spinning and tries to whip Orochimaru in the stomach with his right foot's heel. Orochimaru blocks it with his arm and winces at the pain. Naruto back-flips and goes for a leg sweep that Orochimaru jumps over, then Naruto jumps up with a fist in front of him. Orochimaru just back-steps and Naruto falls over.

"Your form is sloppy, Naruto."

"Sorry, dad."

This went on for a while before something unexpected happened.

Naruto started to convulse out of nowhere and strong winds gushed out of the boy's pores. The wind cutting the boy's skin but somehow avoiding the groin.

"Shit!"

Orochimaru didn't know what was happening, is it one of the bloodlines awakening?

________

"Kit! Kit! Snap out of it!"

The Nine-Tails was yelling at the blond in concern behind the bars.

'Oh, he is activating his bloodline that bastard installed into him.'

The fox then pumped chakra to help the little kid with the wounds that the wind created.

_______

Orochimaru can be seen carrying Naruto in a bridal carry to an experiment tube. He then placed Naruto inside the tube and waited until he would heal, which would take about 24 hours. Unknown to the snake, in front of the boy is a strange blue rectangle that has the text "Hello, Gamer!"

____________

AN: I will nerf the party system and get rid of Gamer Mind and nerf Gamer Body. Gamer Body will turn into Gamer's Rest which only has the fully recover HP and CP after sleeping. The party system will only allow 5 people in a party and if you invite someone and they accept, its permanent so Naruto has to use it wisely.
