23 Pills

After letting down thing one and thing two "Oui why did you leave us there for so long?!" Naruto immediately accuses me. I can only rub the back of my head "I didn't mean to. I was attacked and ended up in the hospital again" Both Naruto and Sasuke stare at me "Who attacked you?" Oh both spoke at the same time before looking at one another humphing and turning away. So I spend the next half hour explaining what all happened, though I give the version where Grandpa saves me. I also tell them about how I seem to be able to interact with ghost now. Sasuke seems to be in deep thought about that while Naruto seems a bit frightened to know ghost exist

After dealing with those to I head to my lab in the basement. Feeling quite flustered about everything I experienced tonight. I got attacked, I got saved by a Death God, I killed four people... Looking down at my hands. My mind is conflicted. I knew I would have to kill someone someday but not this soon and not in the way it happened.

"I have to get stronger. My 'Ultimate Defense' can't protect me from everything" He knew already it wouldn't protect him from everything after all the metal is only as thick as a coin. {DING} Oh seems the computer is finished. Walking over I cheek out the formula and the simulation results "Good begin extraction and merging" I can honestly say this is probably the most advanced computer in the entire fire country. No one knows what an AI is here. The tech we have is basically for communication and also to check vital signs in the hospital.

Soon the synthetic mixture coagulates into pill form. A few dozen are created by using up all the ingredients I have for them. "I should name these... I'll call them Experience Pills" It isn't the best name but it is simple and gets straight to the point. Since these pills will double the effect of training the body for a limited time. From what the AI calculated is one can take 3 in a day at most and the effects last about two hours. This is what I need most right now. After all my jutsu was useless against those four. I may have great chakra control but my physical body is quite terrible to the point it is even worse than Narutos right now and he is pretty weak currently.

Putting away all the pills into my Storage band I get up and head to my room. Training starts tomorrow in earnest, luckily I think we have taijutsu training scheduled. When I dream I am in my own Mind Maze only at the very edge of it. There is a path connecting my Maze to Gaara but it isn't wide enough for me to go through. Sand keeps blowing end from this path and I can hear a voice coming from it. The voice sounds like a drunk. Keeps mumbling about wishing for someone to fall asleep.

The next day I made some breakfast for me and my two 'brothers' so to speak. I decided to make pancakes today as calories are important for the class we have today. "Naruto, Sasuke, I made a pill that can improve our training today would you like some?" Naruto looks at me "Nah. I can't rely on you forever. I'll get strong in my own way" Sasuke agree with Naruto on this and also refuses my pills.

Just as we are getting ready to set out there is a knock on the door. "Hm?" I open it and Ino jumps on me "Marix! Let's go to the Academy together" 'She is very um affectionate' I think to myself with a light blush on my face as she takes hold of my hand and began to lead me out. Sasuke and Naruto both smirk at this since they have never seen me flustered like this before.

Well me and Ino walk to the Academy while holding hands, mainly because Ino won't let mine go, we get all kinds of looks which just makes me blush a bit more. I don't know why I am blushing from this though but I can't control myself. When we arrive I put a pill in Ino's hand "When we begin Taijutsu classes today eat this. It will double your training" She smiles and holds the pill like a precious jewel.

"Hey is Ino your girlfriend now?" A certain person eating chips asked me "Yea I guess so" my cheeks still a bit red "Girls are a pain..." a certain lazy individual states. I give both of them a pill in secret telling them not to tell anyone about it. "So Marix.. You ok? We heard about you getting attacked last night." I lay my head down in my arms on the table "Yea... I'm fine" I sigh "Curious about who would want me dead though" Shikamaru reaches over and pats my shoulder.

Soon Iruka Sensei comes in. I don't really care much for his classes as most of it is what I already learned but he does teach things well I must say. I really enjoy when he talks about jutsu I don't know yet. Like today he is telling us about Transformation Jutsu which is able to allow you to disguise yourself as anyone you have in your imagination. Sasuke, me and Shikamaru all get it right the first time turning into Iruka Sensei. Naruto doesn't do as well his version is short and plump causing us to laugh though Iruka Sensei berated Naruto on his Transformation. Well Iruka may be harsh but he does care for Naruto, sometimes Iruka treats him to Ramen.

Next up is Taijutsu lessons with Mizuki Sensei. I don't know why but I always feel a bit of caution when around Mizuki. I don't know why since he is always cheerful and encouraging of us yet... Well it is spars so we are put in pairs. My opponent is Kiba, he is that boy who brought his dog to class. I secretly take my pill it dissolves quickly making my body feel hot. "Haha I finally get to take that grin off your face! Wait here Akamaru" he puts the small puppy down under a tree. Kiba seems to be very outspoken.

Both myself and my opponent enter the ring. We give each other a traditional bow "And START" Kiba rushes at me very quickly and strikes at me with a right. Lifting my arm I block him while countering with my own strike to his stomach. Kiba jumps back quick enough to avoid my strike before darting in from my left so I spin on my heel while lifting my right leg to try and connect with his lowered body. Kiba tries to dodge it but it still manages to connect with his hair. In retaliation he sweep kicks me causing me to fall down. He then moves to strike again but I place a hand on the ground and rotate my lower body upwards knocking him in the chest and pushing him back a bit.

"Hah so you do have some moves after all runt" He seems to be enjoying this as he charges at me once more he targets my legs again. I jump to avoid but this is a bad move which I learn very soon since he grabs one of my legs from the air and slams me back down onto the ground like a hammer stunning me before throwing me out the ring. "Winner Kiba Inuzuka" Well one good thing about having a girlfriend is she comes over to check on me after I was thrown out. Checking me over for injuries. Still it didn't feel too good to lose but at least I know my biggest issue is Taijutsu.
