13 Chapter 12 Jiraiya

It has been a week since his talk with the Hokage. Any day now he could be ordered to leave, and he would. His parents already signed off for it. They were given a lot of leeway in their business practices because they raised a loyal Uchiha. Or that's what their business rivals liked to mutter on the street. Did they love him? Yes, as much as they could love someone like him. Bastion knew he made things difficult.

Since awakening his eyes, he hadn't turned them off. Bastion had gotten used to his new way to see the world. Accidents, appeared before they happened in his mind, training to react to them was difficult. Using the Sharingan wasn't enough of a drain to matter to his reserves. He would need a real fight to get them to mature.

He stepped up to the ledge over looking the hot springs were Jiraiya liked to do his research. "I've always wondered, why use real observations, when pandering to your audience would be much more lucrative. Do men expect women to just bath and gossip? With my sharingan I can tell what their saying. Their discussing one of the wealthier merchants in Konoha and whether his tiny dick is worth his money. One quite shamelessly says that she would just find a powerful ninja that looks like him and claim the children are his." Bastion said and sat beside the older man. With his Sharingan he could see their boobs and even zoom in on places he might have when he was an adult. Now as a child he felt nothing towards them.

"Aren't you scary, with that information you can set up a blackmail agency and simply collect profit. Why would you want to be a ninja?" Jiraiya said.

"I have no interest in blackmailing anyone. A fool and his money are soon parted. If a rich man isn't wary then he won't remain so, or his line will die with him. Besides, can't he just marry a girl and have his kids with her then take a mistress for fun. That's how its normally done." Bastion said.

"One thing I noticed about you kid. Your blunt, its refreshing but it would make you a poor ninja. You know we have to lie." Jiraiya said.

"The best lies hide in truth. Its not what you say, its what you don't say. She doesn't want to not marry him. She's more than happy to take his resources, but she doesn't like his genes. I'm not here to judge." Bastion said.

"You scare me kid. I've had people watch you. All you do is train non-stop don't you ever play or do normal child like things." Jiraiya said.

"Hobby, I like to collect things. Rocks mostly, but I used them all up making myself stronger. Maybe I should go back to the practice. I'll start collecting rocks with high Natural energy." Bastion said mostly to himself. "When are we heading out, I can't wait to get on the road and see more of the world." Jiraiya snorted.

"Naruto should be about ready to head out. We should be leaving in a day or two. If you have anything to get settled better do it before we leave. Was that all you needed?" Jiraiya asked.

"I was wondering if you would teach me fuinjutsu. With my eyes, I should be able to learn the basics fairly quickly." Bastion said. That was one of the most OP techniques in all of Naruto. If he could learn it, he could become so much stronger.

"No, I'm not going to teach you a thing." Jiraiya said firmly. Bastion figured it was to keep an Uchiha from becoming the child of prophecy. He couldn't become such a thing anyway. His time on this world might not be too much longer. Soon, he would have Itachi to contend with. Round 2 was going to be a challenge. But he didn't have quite the handicap as last time.

"Have a good day Jiraiya Sensie, don't worry this conversation has taught me more than you know." Bastion said before leaving.
