Chapter 4

I sat on my bed in my apartment thinking. The Uchiha massacre is happening tomorrow. Itachi just left my house a few minutes ago. I had managed to sign the crow summoning contract. I also managed to get him to adjust his plans for Sasuke.

[[[Flashback]]]

"It won't work." I said to Itachi as he leaned on the wall in my apartment. After he had assessed that I was not a threat and that I was actually willing to help him, he finally relax. Or else this would have been a very difficult situation.

"What do you mean?" He asked stoically.

"Your plan is good but it has one flaw. Sasuke loves his elder brother. Doing this will blind him with revenge and the quest for strength. You plan to tell him the truth right before you die but that will backfire."

Itachi was listening to my every word. As he took it in, it looked like he was starting to get it.

"After you die, Sasuke will most likely turn to take his revenge on the leaf for using you, ruining what you have set to accomplish in Konoha. To him, Konoha is not as dear to him as you are." I finished.

He had a look of understanding. "I see. I didn't think of that. It seems like my plan still leaves much to be desired."

"You're plan is a good one. The only thing you need to do is convince him not to take revenge on the leaf. That will not be easy but he'll listen to you." He smiles as I finish my solution.

"Sometimes I need to remind myself that you're not from the Nara clan. You have a frightening mind. You'll make a good shinobi."

[[[Flashback end]]]

I took out a blue pill from my inventory. I looked at the description.

[Bloodline pill]

[Description]:[A pill that brings out the latent is hidden bloodline of the user.]

I got it a few months back but I was hesitant to use it. Looking at the mirror in the room, I was reminded of the reason for my hesitation.

Staring back at me were spiky very dark-almost black-brown hair that ended just above my hip. Bangs that reached my shoulders and covered my right eye. Any Naruto fan would understand my hesitation.

I looked like the second coming of freaking Madara Uchiha. I brushed it off at first, seeing it as nothing more than a coincidence until I got a notification.

[Hidden Quest Completed!]

[Find our which legendary figure you are related to.]

[Reward]:[Bloodline pill x2][Fire style jutsu now cost half the required chakra and are twice as strong.]

I was excited on one hand. On the other hand I was nervous. How the hell am I going to be free to even move around in this world if someone figures it out.

Added on to that fact that Madara is going to be the reason for the fourth ninja war. I will be targeted or at least suspected for working with him.

Taking this pill means that I will be targeted unless I have someone in high power vouching for me. I can't go to any of the Kage as they have no reason to support me.

My best bet is with Tsunade. No matter how desperate I am, the thought of siding with the third hokage will never cross my mind. I just need to give Tsunade valid reason to see me as an ally. Which means I have to be with Jiraiya and Naruto to get her back to Konoha to build a connection.

"What a drag."

I steeled my nerves and pop the pill into my mouth. As soon as I swallowed it, the feeling of a dam burst flowed through. My chakra climbed a bit higher, now at peak jonin.

My brown hair finally crossed the threshold and turned black. A trickle of blood rolled down my cheek. And most importantly, my eyes had changed.

In place of the normal black orbs were twin red orbs with two tomoe present. Looking at my hand, I could see the chakra flowing in my hand.

*Ding*

[Due to skill [Genjutsu] being at max, [Genjutsu] effects of the sharingan are boosted.]

I could hold in my smile. At least now I'll be able to beat Itachi in genjutsu. We had tested it before he left. I was curious to see how my [Genjutsu] at max can match up with his sharingan. The result; a tie which he narrowly won by using his Mangekyo to dispel my genjutsu.

I clean up the blood on my face then deactivate my sharingan. Before I went to bed I wanted to try something. I took out the second bloodline pill. This could be the thing that will give me Tsunade's support. After all, why wouldn't she be grateful if she was able to use wood style like her grandfather Hashirama, or manifest chakra chains like her grandmother Mito.

Using [structural grasp] on it. I feel the familiar sensation of information flowing to my head. Even with the skill being at level 3, it still works perfectly. The level just limits the size that I can scan. Right now, the most I can scan is something the size of a cube of one meter.

Using [creation], I try to recreate the pill. A dull white light shines on my palm as a perfect replica of the pill appeared.

[Bloodline pill]

Looks like I won't have to bother about buying extra pills once I have a single one. Satisfied, I put it in my inventory and succumb to sleep with a smile on my face.

[[[6 years later]]]

'Finally.'

It's the day of the graduation exams and I'm walking passed the academy doors towards the classroom where Naruto's year is.

I haven't exactly been waiting for it but monotonously grinding my skills for over 8 years tends to become boring. I was ready for canon events a long time ago.

I find myself staring at the door to the classroom. Before I walk in, I take a quick glance at my skills list.

[Skills list]:

[Genjutsu lv.10]

[Wind Manipulation lv.10]

[Shurikenjutsu lv.10]

[Art of the mind lv.10]

[Hair Manipulation lv.10]

[Nabong Needle Ryu lv.10]

...

...

[Structural grasp lv.10]

All of my former skills were now at level 10. From [Genjutsu] to [Structural grasp]. And then came my additional skills that I've acquired since then.

[Swift release lv.10]

[Snatch lv.10]

[Forbidden Balor View lv.10]

The skill [Snatch] is from Ban in Seven deadly sins while the [Forbidden Balor View] is from Gasper in highschool dxd. Fortunately it wasn't sentient.

Unfortunately those were the only skills that I got from the lottery. It seemed that I had used up all my luck. After a while I stopped getting skills from the lottery. Instead I got mostly items and system points. After I stopped getting skills, the closest thing I got to a skill were Earth and Water chakra affinity.

My original affinities were Fire and lightning but due to me getting [wind manipulation], wind was included. Then I got Water and Earth from the system.

My progress in strength didn't stop because I couldn't get skills from the system. It actually gave me time to focus more on the jutsu here in the shinobi world.

With the sharingan it was easy to copy skills from training chunin it jonin. And even better. I cracked the seal for the Hiraishin. At the moment I have the formula in different places in Konoha for emergencies.

Unlike Minato who kept his Tri-kunai in places in the village that he wanted to flash to, I preferred to engrave the formula on the surrounding.

I can place a formula just by touching my target so there is no need to keep a kunai where it can be seen when I can paste it directly.

Of course, even with all these grand achievements, there is one that shines brighter than the rest. Years back I wanted to create skill like sage mode but opposite of it. It would be a direct counter to Naruto's sage mode (if the time comes that we need to fight each other) and to be able to hurt Obito's sage body after he became the ten tails jinchuriki.

Of course there were problems. I couldn't figure out the mechanics of Senjutsu and how to write it in a way that it would be a valid skill book. So I found a loop hole.

Instead of creating a skill book to create my own mode, I create a skill book that allowed me to create skills. It took me a whole month but it was worth it. [Skill Creation]. Now instead of spending a month or so creating a skill, I spent half an hour. The only limit is that it can only be used once a day.

That's a fair trade off. Fortunately the skill didn't have levels or it would have been a long time until I would be able to make what I was looking for. Using [Skill creation] I recreated something from seven deadly sins but with a few adjustments.

[Assault Mode]

[Description]:[Demonic energy is a dark and powerful source of power not unlike that of the demon king. Assault mode cloaks the body in demonic energy allowing for various effects. It is the enemy of nature.]

[1st Effect]:[Allows user to be able to contain demonic energy in their body.]

[2nd Effect]:[Allows user to be able to use demonic energy]

[3rd Effect]:[Allows users body to naturally regenerate demonic energy.]

[4th Effect]:[Allows user to enhance ninjutsu with demonic energy.]

[5th Effect]:[Passively increases health regeneration massively.]

[6th Effect]:[Passively multiplies user's strength and speed by 10.]

[7th Effect]:[Deals permanent damage to undead enemies.]

[8th Effect]:[Stops undead from regenerating.]

[9th Effect]:[Passively keeps user calm while using demonic energy.]

This was the closest that I could make. What I wanted was Meliodas's form when he was the leader of the Ten Commandments. When I got the skill, I felt another kind of energy being formed in my body other than chakra.

It took a bit of time and a little bit of pain for it to fully synchronize with my body but it was worth it. The energy was far denser than chakra. The amount of energy was even higher than my low kage reserves.

People often call the tailed beast demons but I'm closer to demons than them when I'm in [Assault mode]. Tailed beast are just masses of chakra with consciousness. The 'evil' that their chakra exudes is nothing more than their own personal hatred and malice.

Before trying out [Assault mode], I had to leave Konoha which was surprisingly easy when I thought of a plan. I tied a tag with a Hiraishin formula on the leg of my crow summon and had him fly out of the village.

I would then wait until I was sure he was far enough from Konoha before flashing to the seal.

When I activated [Assault mode], just like with Meliodas, the demon mark covered my forehead. Black Demonic energy would form over my legs forming pants regardless if I was was already wearing one. Whatever I'm wear as a top would disappear leaving me shirtless before the black cloak of demonic energy would form.

I kept a Marker in a secluded spot outside Konoha which I used to practice with [Assault mode] and other skills. The mode took sometime to get used to due to the enhanced speed and strength.

I cleared my thoughts as I enter the classroom as I hear Iruka speaking.

"-will now start the..." he paused as he saw me enter.

"Oh. I almost forgot. This is Izuna. He'll be joining us for the exam." He introduced me. A familiar blonde haired jinchuriki chose that moment to yell.

"Oi! Iruka-Sensei! Why the hell does he get to do exam without going to the academy!? That's not fair!!!" He screamed. It seemed like I was right earlier. He had forgotten the fear he felt...well it's not hard to do it again.

Before Iruka could answer, a brown haired boy with red markings on his face yelled at naruto. "Shut up Naruto! Let him finish."

Naruto wanted to yell again but Iruka decided to speak up. "He has special permission from the Hokage. Now SIT DOWN!!!" He started off calm but ended it with a shout as his head comically grew bigger than his body.

I could hear whispers from the now red faced females in the class as I walk towards a sit without waiting for Iruka. Though I didn't bother listening to them, I didn't blame them.

After discovering that I was related to Madara, I had to keep my hair shorter than my usual hair length. I am eventually going to end up revealing it but not so early. I used [Hair Manipulation] to shorten my hair to Sasuke's length.

Currently, I could pass for Sasuke's twin brother. The difference between the both of us was that my hair was less of a duck butt than his. Ino complained for a whole month after I changed my hair but she got over it.

Speaking of Ino, the seat I'm walking to is in between Ino and Hinata. Yes, Hinata. It took her a whole year to muster up the courage to come and talk to me. Though that was with Ino's constant encouragement. It was a full two years before I was sure that I could completely trust her.

She eventually joined my training with Ino and I have to say, she could easily beat Neji at this point. I had her sparring with me using only the basics of the gentle fist for weeks before I allowed her to use advanced moves.

The essence was for her to be able to use it fast enough without thinking. To strike instantaneously. When you use basics of a form in a fight, you notice that there are some things that are lacking in the basic form but are present in the advanced form.

Your mind and body subconsciously makes moves to fill in those gaps with moves that are more in tuned with the user. It would be rough at first but it gets more fluid the more you use it.

When I finally allowed her to use the advanced form, the difference was clear. There was fluidity, strength and speed in her form. It was slightly different from the Gentle Fist form but it was more effective.

When training Hinata, I thought of my revenge against Hiashi. I had planned on killing him but that would make Hinata depressed and I wouldn't be able to handle that. So I adjusted my plans.

Kumo wanted the byakugan but Hiashi was ok with giving me up to them. Well as they say 'An eye for an eye' or in my case 'A pair of eyes for another pair'. It was when I was adjusting my plan for Hiashi that I thought 'Does the Byakugan register as a skill with the system.' Answer: yes.

I tested it on a Hyuga boy that I crosspaths with in a store in the village. Looking back, I should have thought it out before I acted. I used [Plunder] when I walked past him with my arm bumping into him in the crowded store. Thankfully we were in a crowd so that would have justified my claim that I was pushed.

Apparently, even the target is unaware when I use [Plunder] on them. There is no flashy light or any feeling of loss from the target. That would have made for an awkward and terrible situation at the time.

The skill was perfect. I was also curious about what would happen if I gave the 'Byakugan' skill to someone who already had it. The second effect of [Plunder] was the ability to transfer skills. I also discovered that I could choose to transfer a copy of the skill so that I could also keep the skill.

I transferred the 'Byakugan' skill to Hinata the next day after she swore to silence of course. The result was that her eyes went from 'Byakugan' to what I can only call 'Evolved Byakugan'.

Her eyes still looked the same. The difference was that the pupil of her eyes when she used the Byakugan were now a shade darker. And that is just in appearance. I had her tell me the difference she felt. It was outstanding.

The blind spot was erased. Like the sharingan, she could see things moving slower in her perception but the sharingan still beats her in that area. The best part was that she could literally see the whole of Konoha if she stayed at the middle. It was terrifying yet exciting.

Back to my revenge. My plan was to [Plunder] his Byakugan. After all, what was a Hyuga without the Byakugan , much less the head of the clan. After that I would use a pill I saw in the system. The [Chakra crippling pill]. Such a cruel pill to satisfy my revenge. His life will be ruined. Losing his Byakugan and then his ability to mold chakra.

I doubt he would be allowed to stay as the head of the clan. Nothing short of a [Senzu bean] can cure it and I'm the only one in this world who has both the pill and the [Senzu bean]. I've tested the pill on my father, it works.

I also slipped another pill into him, the [Body crippling pill]. By the end of this month he'll lose the ability to even walk. Right now he can't even control his bladder. By the end of next month, he'll be dead.

Now back to class. I sat down in between the two smiling girls as Iruka continued with the exams. Or at least he's about to start.

"As I was saying, we will now start the final exam. If your name is called, come to the classroom next door. The subject will be the replication technique." He said as the class quietly listened.

As he finished, in the corner of my eye, I see Naruto with an expression of terror. I couldn't help but let an amused smirk grow on my face. It was ruined as Hinata painfully pulled on my cheek. I turned to her to see her pouting. Her and Ino complain that I space out a lot. I gave no comment.

I slipped my hand around her and Ino's waists as she blushes a bit but smiles while Ino gave an amused chuckle.

'Did I mention that Hinata has grown really bold? *Sigh* What a drag.'
