4 Journal entry # 4

This is likely my final journal entry for a while. I have some plans about how to use my Save/ Load power. It may seem overpowered but I'd rather not be able to bring myself back from death consistently as opposed to just not dying. There's a big difference in being Saitama and being Goku. Think about it, Goku would be long dead without the dragonballs. Sure he comes back stronger and stronger but dead is dead and we don't all get do overs after death. I'm one to talk but still.

Apart from my almost limitless do over chances that would make Danzo blush in shame. Save and load is wildly convenient for day to day life I can basically end world hunger so feeding myself well isn't hard. Honestly the monetization ability of this skill maybe more impressive than all it's other abilities. Can't protect myself without strength though so that's secondary.

Currently my item panel has my clothes taking up 6 slots. Each shoe, pants, boxers, undershirt, and jacket. Think of a young Neji with pants instead of shorts and shoulder length hair instead of his luscious locks. Point is having permanently clean clothes is a nice quality of life feature. My seventh slot has a 10,000 Ryo note. Semi limitless funds. I've been hiding the note in my jacket after I stole it from that woman. I'm catching beatings anyways so why not get paid?

She embezzles clan funds every now and then so it's not like she'll make a mere 10,000 note a priority. It should be though. That's two low end rank D mission rewards so it can't be said it's a low amount either. Not my problem.

On that note though that woman found less and less time to mess with me lately. She could care less about me and my affairs at the moment. She's settling down with a new man. Main family this time. If Hiashi wasn't so young she might have made a move on him instead. Her new love means I don't catch beatings daily though so God bless.

I won't take any chances though. You can apply at any age for the academy and I'm taking the win of my guaranteed entry as a Hyuga to not attend and leave this damn prison.

The academy simply has a lot less opportunity then outside of it. I'll do anything to survive and it all starts with a certain pervert and his two team mates.

He'll be pretty easy to locate. The slug is too far out of reach for me at the moment, she's basically a princess, it's not something I could pull off. The snake is locatable but I have nothing to bargain with him. The point is one of them may eventually lead me to my goal. Hiruko. I need the chimera technique. That thing is by far the most versatile technique with a little creativity.

The cursed seal on my head isn't simple and ditching this body is probably for the best. So why settle for leaving this body with Orichimarus living corpse reincarnation for some random when I can make a perfect body to jump in too. Honestly Orochimaru has no vision. With access to Shin, Hashiramas Cells, his own jutsu and Hiruko's, the man should be a god.

Regeneration, wood release, 4 other Kekkei Genkai, Sharingan and that's at the low end.

Cell division you say? With Shin and some bio engineered Hashirama cells you can more or less produce new bodies endlessly. Congrats you're immortal Orochimaru. Life goal reached.

It's really not as simple as I make it sound but with that end goal in mind you would more or less be immortal.

I digress. Now the question is how to catch the eyes of the Snake? Simple. Konoha Hospital.

Now save and load could make me seem like the god of medical ninjutsu but I'm 4 years old, no schooling on the subject, and using it on others is a risk. Not to mention I can't load them to a healed state if they're not saved as such. I mean if I play things right I could have one shining moment without risk of being a guinea pig with it but id rather not. No it's a slow game I'm playing here.

Creation Rebirth exists in the future so what if I make it appear a little sooner. Plus the pity card with all the abuse scars on my back gives me a reason to pursue regeneration in the eye of many adults and exploiting broken children seems to be this villages bread and butter.

You're thinking harsh right? Well to name a few Shisui, Itachi, Naruto, Anko, Neji, Iruka, and the OG himself, Orochimaru. Now you're probably confused but that's right he's the OG. Motivated by the Third Hokage himself at the now orphaned boys parents grave, his grief was weaponized through that Will of Fire crap. Of course Orochimaru wasn't like the rest of the sheep but his origins are no different then the rest.

Fact of the matter is I've now left the Hyuga compound and I'm heading straight for Konoha hospital. The village looks similar to the anime so I'm a bit starstruck for a while. Once my little moment is over I pick up the pace the hospital isn't next door to the academy but it's close and I don't want to get dragged in on my ditch day.

I'm a ninja now for heavens sake how lame would it be if I can't even ditch!

On my way there though I'm thinking about some things I've been ignoring.

By all rights I should be more mature than I act. Soul wise I'm about 44 years old and yet I seem to be sinking into a child like mindset the more I age. I think I'm losing my sense of self. Deep down I used to think I'm just Nedd, this is a dream, more recently a nightmare. Never have I forgotten that I had a family back on Earth but I can remember less and less about my personal life there.

My journal says I have kids and a wife there, a normal family? Without this journal though I wouldn't be able to know that. I don't know if it's just due to all the crap that woman's put me through but something's definitely wrong with me. Nedd Stark really might have died already and I'm not sure if I'm okay with that reality.
