------------------------

Whatever ability I consumed from my latest prey was barebones, to say the least.

But this was fine… after all, I was just born today and I already was a borderline genin. The memories of Kuro, the reincarnator were the real treasure, a trove of information… Kaguya, the Rinne-Sharingan, its offsprings, the bloodlines and the troublesome ones… the chakra beasts… I couldn't consume them as they were made of energy, I couldn't kill them as I would only be exposing my hand to any potential onlooker and the beast's future hosts.

As I was thinking about what to do a large howl drew my attention from the direction Kuro came earlier. While I couldn't see anything due to the trees, I knew what was happening. Kuro was running from the Village as he had no guarantee of survival from the destruction the Nine-Tails caused. He had just graduated the day before after all. During his escape debris swung by one of the tails had hit him. That was all it had taken to nearly kill him as he ran for his life.

While I couldn't hear it before absorbing him, now my senses had tripled. Kuro had trained himself harshly as he knew he couldn't trust anyone in a world filled with killers. He feared this night to his bones, once he saw how powerless he was in front of the Nine-Tails.

I couldn't stop myself from rushing into a sprint. This was THE night of the Kyuubi. The night that cost Konoha thousands of Shinobi and civilians. To me, it was a reason to celebrate. It was an opportunity to infiltrate into the most powerful village in this world, the birthplace of the forbidden techniques and gathering place of some of the most prominent bloodlines. It didn't matter if I had to wait for years, I was nigh-immortal and needed to learn patience, to use the time to my advantage.

But this was all secondary. My primary goal was the S-Rank Jutsu feared by nations… one that would nullify the disadvantage of my armored form. Thanks to my Race, my defense would grow through conflicts and my Armored form would push that ridiculous defense to even more absurd levels… but this Jutsu was already at absurd levels. I would gain the ability to evade almost every one of the enemy's attacks.

That being said I couldn't take this in stride. Kuro had been bleeding for about 20 min. While the anime may have made it look longer, for all I knew it could end any second now. I couldn't take The Yellow Flash in a direct Confrontation anytime soon, and I sure as hell couldn't stop him if he wanted to run unless I had some form of leverage… but there was one moment I could take advantage of.

When Minato gets killed by Nine-Tails… that is the window I need, I can only try and reach the battlefield before that.

As I decided on my objective, I decided that the reward was worth the risk, not caring for not leaving any traces during my approach, I started to speed up, and cracks formed on the ground. As I ran through the forest, I took a big jump, directly landing on a branch and not a second later using it as a springboard to leap further into the air. It didn't take me long to reach the village.

Making my way towards the wall I realized it was only the second time I had seen it, Kuro had only seen it when escaping and I couldn't make out the direction of the gate. Without any other choice, I made my way towards the tallest tree I could find nearby and shaped my fingers into claws, taking a swing at the tree as it lost a chunk of wood, making it fall towards the wall, making it a passable ramp. Climbing the tree/ramp I jumped once more and stabbed my claws into the wall. With another jump, I finally got over the wall.

Immediately turning my head towards the inner part of the village I saw no trace of the Nine-Tails, merely a trail of destruction leading to it outside the village… on the other side of the village.

"Now is the part where Minato appears and teleports Nine-Tails far from the village. It was the best chance to get the Flying Raijin… but not the last. After all, death is not the end in this world. Thank you, Second Hokage." – and as I talked to myself, planning for the future The fourth appeared and took the tailed beast away, the rest of the shinobi running to catch up to the explosion in the distance.

"Now, what can I grab that is just below the flying Raijin in my list…" – I said as I turned my head towards the village.

"The shinobi left behind are mainly genin and weak chunnin, to help with search and rescue, the more powerful ones guarding the outside perimeter or their clans… The wreckage is away from the Uchiha's so my chances at finding one dead here should be rather low… No breaking into their compound either, not today, there are too many things that could go wrong and I have no way of identifying a weak one… I can't exactly go turning corpses around for a look at the clan symbol on their shirt… time is my greatest weapon right now, that's what I'll use."

The night of the Massacre would come in but a few years, I could wait… until then I needed to remain in the village. Kuro could have easily been spotted running away when the Kyuubi started to rampage. It was an identity that would most likely get me under surveillance or worse, imprisonment. I needed someone new… someone that lived separated from the rest, I couldn't afford to waste time on other people. I had around 8 years to find a way to get strong enough to be able to evade Anbu level shinobi.

Any other day it would have been a walk in a park… but this was during a peaceful period, no war anytime soon. Draw attention and I get monitored, which wouldn't be a problem after graduating from the academy but this early it would disrupt too many of my plans. Konoha is not as easy of a place as it seems to leave. I would need to draw the attention of the snake at some point… but that could wait.

That being said I had already made my mind up… I needed a newborn… and at least the mental capabilities of a few other individuals. After all, Kuro had knowledge but he was no genius and the farmer had inherited the family land… he was but a normal man. Different people, different points of view, different ways of thinking… after all, a genius is but a man that thinks differently from normal people, sees things that most don't, does things that most don't. 20 people vaporized by the Nine-Tails Tailed bomb should be believable right?

I tried to focus my hearing, hoping to hear someone mention any dead Uchiha or an Uchiha child, but it was useless, too many screams and cries of help were heard. It was up to my luck and so I dived from the wall inside the city, heading towards the most damaged areas.

The faint noise from the Nine-Tails had stopped and my senses told me that only the danger from the moon remained… then again I might just have been too far.

It took quite careful observation, even using my Infected Vision, to get away with consuming almost 20 individuals. Finding a newborn had been the hardest, small heat sources that could be mistaken with fires that were nearly everywhere. I found one eventually, parents crushed by a pillar, and the baby with a nasty cut in his head, I gave him a 90% chance of survival should a medic-nin arrive within 5 min… now that I found him it dropped to 0.

While I thought that all was good there was one major error I had made when choosing a baby, a detail that passed as common sense among all living things... except me… I DON'T AGE!
