Home, sweet home.

After the return of the child, even though my help was minimal, the clan of eagles was so pleased that they even offered to live with them. I took it politely to stay safe for a year and devote time to training. And now the year has passed unnoticed.

During the time that I stayed here, I learned so much, the eagles are ready to die but protect some of their secrets even from me. But with some, they shared as with friend. But one condition.

I have to teach them how to cook. I showed them how to roast properly, how much to keep, what to add, what kind of meat, how to boil. And when I taught them how to cook - they instantly made a giant bowl of stone and somehow brought it to me. Unfortunately, there was no water on the mountain, so the bowl was moved to a waterfall not far from their mountain. The mountain was their rightfully as the strongest by the way. Whoever disagreed was invited to dinner. As a food.

In return, I was trained in the use of fire and lightning. They taught a lot of techniques in their own way and had to redo them for myself. Same bullet fire technique - they did it with their beak. I had to do it with a human mouth. Taking the idea of ​​a bullet, I created the water technique. Squeezing my cheeks, I released water under pressure, cutting off anything.

Well, the harvest itself brought Orochimaru and his experiments. Many of the scrolls opened my eyes to this world and its concept. For example about the existence of gods and demons. That under the earth's crust there is probably a parallel world that affects the world of the living. That chakra is the key to something greater. But, everything that is not immortality, Orochimaru quickly threw, and I learned little.

And then the day came.

Those who I knew well over the years from the eagles gathered and accompanied me. The cave was assigned to me and I hid my good there, sealed with seals that I can use and call the scroll to me. Having typed only what was necessary, I left the cave, meeting Wansai, Asami and others. Saying goodbye to everyone, I jumped on Wansai who, through the secret technique of eagles, teleported me to one of the points of the shinobi world.

Not far from the Village of Hidden Sand in the Land of the Wind, Wansai left me wishing me luck and giving me parting words to call at any time except when he was looking for a chick. Although he flirts with others like that all the time, I noticed that he only looked at Asami with the eyes of lust. But, eagles are specific centenarians in the life span of more than ten centuries, and I can only wish him good luck.

Looking at the sun standing high in its dive, and like an evil that burns out my eyes with a bright light, I took out my favorite glasses. They were the last in reserve, as I usually broke them in training. It will be necessary to replenish stocks. Stretching my whole body, I switched my mind. The eagles were too righteous. And if I want to fulfill my plans and achieve the dream of becoming immortal, I have to be cruel. Perhaps even worse than Orochimaru. After a year of training, both mental and physical, I had time to think a lot. For example, about morality. What good is it when you are a corpse? Or when you are killed or robbed. Until you are strong you will be not used. So I will achieve my goals by staining my path with the blood of others.

Having accelerated, I seemed to fly, almost without touching the ground, raising waves of sand and dust behind me. With such speed, I will soon reach my first goal in terms of what I have been creating for a whole year. The village of hidden sand. Finally, noticing with my senses the pulsing chakra dome of the sensor technique, I folded the seals and created a clone. Throwing explosive seals and fishing line at him, I ran in a circle around the dome of the village. While the clone was preparing for the obvious sabotage, I prepared in my mind the perfect combinations of water and lightning techniques. This will allow to kill a lot of opponents in case of something. But the fourth Kazekage was the problem. But there were also trump cards against him.

Finally, after counting the time, I realized that the clone should have already gone blazing chakra at divine speed from the other side of the village. Hiding the chakra, not letting it go, I ran towards the rocks. There were 5 chakras behind the stones. After activating Mangyoku, I didn't feel sorry for them. With my speed, there was no chance I lose. After killing all but one, I chased the last one. This one tried to use the technique to warn the others, but with a swing of the tanto, I cut off both of his hands and with a blow of my finger dislodged the bone in his throat without letting him scream. The boy, crying in pain and fear, crawled away from me with horror in his eyes. He had about 4 minutes if not less with his blood loss. But he shouldn't stay to live.

Piercing his chest with my hand, I poured chakra into his eyes and hand. In the boy's heart, it turned out to be like a magnet that instantly collected all the purple goo over his body. In agony, he died and pulling out his heart, I hid in the shadows of the rocks. Others came running to the scene of the murder, but it was too late. Unnoticed, I hid in the village itself. Before absorbing the knowledge of the target, I waited. Finally, after a minute, the clone's knowledge came. He killed 12 people in hand-to-hand combat until the Kazekage came and wrapped him in a sea of ​​sand. The seals were activated before the death of the clone and the only water canal exploded. It will take them half a day to protect and repair it. Concentrating, I began to watch the boy's life like a movie. The heart was beating as if not realizing that there was nothing to pump and its owner was dead.

Birth, loving parents, going to school, first love, second love, third love, oh my god, this is a playboy, graduation, team building, first murder, significant events, conversations, village plan, village forces, shinobi world news, missions, secrets, his eighth love, for fuck sake, becoming a jounin, knowledge about protected places and what is in them, a patrol, a meeting with me.

The guy whole life flashed like an accelerated movie as soon as I wanted to see it. Eyes burned and enduring until the last moment I dropped heart and deactivating my eyes sat down, clutching them with bloody hands, hissing in pain. His heart burned with remorse, this guy had his whole life ahead and seeing his happy days and days when he cried from grief it was difficult to isolate myself from feelings. After sitting for a while, I calmed down. During the year spent on the mountain, I found my true purpose and secret desire. I want to become immortal. I want to know the secrets of space. I want to know so many things and experience so many things that I understand that such cases are inevitable. And I cannot give in to such weaknesses, emotions.

After wiping the blood off my cheek, I just smeared it. The eyes burned red, there was blood on the face. The next target of the plan is a building guarded by one ninja. Murder won't be a problem, it's a problem to go there. If the guy understood correctly during the conversation with the mentor, then there are seals through which it is impossible to pass.

When I got to the place, I was surprised how they work badly. We ran all over the village, but even running under our noses, they did not see me point-blank. Having reached the building, I carefully knocked out the man, although he was a ninja, already retired. After searching, I did not find anything useful and immediately proceeded to print around one of the doors to the rooms. Having found the place from which the chakra was going with the Sharingan, I tore off the floorboard and found a simple seal. Burning it, I saw that the barrier fell. So simple to print. Entering the corridor, I immediately started down the corridor into the underground labyrinth to the Kazekage tower. There were many chakras ahead, but I was not noticed yet. Finally, rushing past the pool with sand instead of water, I pulled on the hood of the sweatshirt with the ears of the cat, letting the hair flow down over my shoulders. Sharingan hid glasses so they shouldn't recognize me.

"Oh, you little thief decided to take advantage of the noise while no one is watching? I will ... "- a ninja with a short beard who accidentally came out did not have time to finish and was already looking, without turning his head not forward, but back, wheezing, not understanding until the last second what had happened.

Rushing on, I found the right fork and new seals. Finally finding the right door that was in my memory, I did not hold back. The chakra burst into flames and with a fortified hand, I shattered the floor. Having failed, I immediately found myself in a place filled with shelves and cabinets. After making a clone, I tossed him the seal scrolls. We had four minutes before the elite forces and the Kazekage himself realized that someone had broken in. Weak ninjas have already fled here, I sensed. But a lot of effort is not needed for them.

By stuffing the scrolls without looking one by one, we finished faster than expected. Suddenly I felt everyone leave the building. It was unexpected, I did not expect this. Having dispelled the clone and returned part of the chakra, I threw two seal scrolls into the case and ran along a new route. Everyone was running away from me. Suddenly, chakra flashed directly above me and golden sand poured from all the cracks. Forming needles, he tried to pull me to the cocoon. Dodging playfully seeing each attack by the Sharingan, I ran out to the side of another door behind which there was another chakra, but its owner circulated perfectly, even it seemed instinctively and therefore an experienced fighter.

Having broken down the door, I found myself right in front of an old woman who, with a wave of her hand, sent a stream of kunai at me. Behind her stood two men in white clothes ... no puppet! Realizing what chakra strands were behind the kunai, I quickly used a fireball at low power and knocked down all the kunai. The attached threads still flew towards me. I saw them perfectly well with my Sharingan. Realizing that it was not profitable to fight, especially when a mountain of sand was coming down to me from above, I switched to sage mode. The eyes became completely red that they began to glow as if in the dark. White marks appeared under the eyes. After hitting the ground, I pulled out a huge tile and threw it at Chiyo, who was crazy about what was happening. But she did not miss the moment and, at the perfect angle, threw something subtle at me while dodging, and two white shadows darted, cutting off my path from the entrance to the sewer. However, she did not take into account my speed. Ignoring that the way out is far, I calculated where the houses are and where the water should go, and everything that people washed away. Throwing myself straight into the wall, I punched it at high speed with my body. Like knife with butter, but with pain, I passed it through and, as if on a flat road, rushed along the water towards the exit through the sewer. The higher the speed, the easier it is to run on water, even chakra on water support did not need to be spent.

Having flown out through the sewer grate, I was met again by the sand that almost crushed me. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a floating golden cloud and a man manipulating sand on top of it. I could not kill such a person, too high. Having drawn air into my lungs, I diluted it with dense chakra. In sage mode, squeezing my lungs, I squeezed the chakra and releasing it into my mouth without letting it disperse, squeezed my cheeks, and began to spit towards the Kazekage with a fiery machine gun while dodging the sand.

The Kazekage could not concentrate on the attack when one of the bullets pierced his stomach and, starting to dodge and shield himself, he stopped attacking me. Other jоуnin and higher arrived. Already four white puppets flew out of the sewers and threw themself at me. But it was already too late. Completely ignoring the defenses, I put chakra into my body, making it lighter. Strengthening my legs, I fired like a bullet upward at an angle, ignoring the pain throughout my body from air resistance. If it were not for the strengthened body by the natural chakra, pollen from me would have remained after such a jump. Withstanding the air pressure, I jumped across the desert and stopped only when my whole body threatened to fall.

Pulling out the pills that I learned to make from the scrolls of Orochimaru, I took two. It became much easier. The body seemed to be resting all day, but I knew that the effect would last for two or three hours.

Running in the opposite direction from the village, I left the desert in an hour. Dense forests came and after choosing a suitable mountain, I immediately found a cave. There was already an inhabitant in it, but he immediately went to my breakfast. Bears may not be so tasty and tough, but this is food. After deactivating the chakra and the sage mode and taking a break, I began to cook the bear. The body slowly rested and recovered. According to the plan, I was supposed to fly into two villages today. Sand villages as well ... Konoha. I have to find out what is going on in Konoha right now. What if Sasuke was killed as they tried to kill me? Is Danzo really dead? And still, need to buy glasses.

While the chakra was recovering to my enormous reserves, which I had increased with Orochimaru's techniques, I began checking the scrolls stolen from the sand village in hopes of finding something that would help me increase my strength.

According to the boy's recollection, this library was only for the Jounin. It means that really useful scrolls were kept in it. Having chosen the most useful ones like the art of puppetry, the technique of creating dolls, techniques related to suicide that are applicable to clones, and other interesting techniques, I put those that are not needed in one and those that I will leave in the other. Unfortunately, what I was looking for was not in the mountain of scrolls. Apparently, they considered this knowledge too dangerous and hid the scroll. Will have to visit again later.

As I remembered correctly - Toby was a specific troll, well, I decided to wipe it too. Having made a clone giving him a lot of chakras, I gave him a seal scroll with unnecessary scrolls. Mostly there was one rubbish. It was not a problem to check everything with a Sharingan. The clone took my scroll and grinned and walked back towards the village of sand. I sat down in a meditation posture and focused my thoughts. They had their own techniques to accelerate the restoration of chakra. And in 2 hours I was able to completely restore it. After finishing some more meat before the road, leaving the remnants of the bear and the extinguished fire, I set off towards the country of fire. The map was as if in front of my eyes and, having determined by the north, I ran.

The sun rose high. Feeling like robbed a sandy village a long time ago even though it was early in the morning. Noticing a strange caravan, I looked closely at it. The suna ninja accompanied him. This is a coincidence. It's still a long way to the village and there is no one else besides these guys. Deciding to jump into the village, I jumped to the ninjas and merchants. Only two ninjas accompanied the convoy. Suddenly one went into the bushes and began to pour. The rest did not wait for him and went ahead.

Smiling at luck, I jumped down and instantly killed the straggler, remembering his appearance thoroughly with a Sharingan. Having banished his life as a film, I figured out how to behave. A little looser, being an idiot. But I need code words on return. Repeating to myself, I ran up to "Partner" in the guise of the killed and said

"Alright, I'm done. By the way, on the way back I saw 2 ants that were sitting on a frog. Here's the hilarity. "

"What can you not see in these lands," the other ninja smiled and relaxed.

We got there to Konoha without incident. And my "partner" did not go far with reason and immediately wanted to find the red light district. Deciding not to interfere with him, I said that I wanted to buy drinks and compare with ours and left him, agreeing to meet tomorrow morning at the gate. Well, goodbye to the dude with whom I spoke for so long without killing this year.

Having canceled the technique, as soon as I disappeared in appearance, I chose a different look, as if a civilian who neither face nor body came out well. Walking through the familiar streets, my heart beat faster than expected. The road took longer than I expected. Before reaching my destination, I saw familiar faces. Almost two years have passed since my escape from the village. A sense of nostalgia surged. The clone's memories suddenly flooded into my head. And I forgot about him.

With a grin, I went on almost laughing out loud. Here is the hilarity.

MEMORIES OF A CLONE.

I went to the gate of the village smoking a pipe. Not believing their eyes, the guards came up to me and politely asked what I wanted here.

I began to chant about youth and the will of fire. How young they are. And then I said that it was a pity that I had killed their people and wounded the kage. He threw a scroll at them and said that I would visit them on other scrolls, waved his hand with a sweet smile. In spite of the appearance of the third Hokage of the leaf village, the crowd has already pounced on me and tried to kill me. But, the clone vanished and the memories passed on to me.

Having passed the park, I already saw the grown-up children. Although I am only a year older than them, they are still children. Although Naruto didn't even seem to have changed. Shikamaru seems to have grown wiser. He looked at me with narrowed eyes, forgetting about his game on the board. Deciding not to scare him, I just moved on.

Next I visited Sasuke's house. There were no guards, and there was one source of chakra in the house. Entering silently, I did not disturb the seal. It seems Sasuke never let anyone in and didn't let them change their seals. Out the back door, I saw Sasuke doing push-ups. A mountain of sweat was dripping from him, and in a cold voice, as if not his muscles creak like doors, he counted to a hundred.

Realizing that he was safe, I disappeared.

My next target was the home of the councilors. Lucky the first time. Both councilors sat in the same house and drank tea. Easy target. After stunning the guards who were helpless in front of my speed, I went to the window and fired two bullets of fire at once. The head was blown off one of them instantly. The second one only has a hand from the shoulder to prevent him from dying prematurely. After stunning the old man, I used the severed hand as a magnet and pulled out a purple mass. Leaving behind me two corpses and a stunned guard, I left the place taking my hand. After attempting to assassinate, I found an abandoned house and found a dark corner. After 10 minutes, destroying the hand, I was ready. Most of the memories were lost, but I already understood where they kept their money and documents confirming their dirty deeds. There were also Danzo's hidden documents related to invoices. The root also needed to eat. I have planned to use all this evidence against these loyalists to the village and their advisors if I am pushed against a wall. My next target was the Hokage. I had too many accounts with this bastard. His death would be a gift to me. His knowledge could give a lot. And in his place would be put Tsunade, who was not as stupid and weak-willed as this old man.

The building was new, perfectly refurbished after the Wansai attack. However, squinting, I decided to postpone the case. A man with long white hair with spines jumped through the window to the Hokage. This man's identity was without a doubt Jiraiya.

Deciding to wait it out, I made a clone to observe and found an inconspicuous place, decided to recover, and consider a plan to kill the third. He was a master of all the elements, but it sounded more like a challenge than a threat. Although I was a sage, my chakra reserves weren't so abnormal and the battle shouldn't be too long. A covert attack is preferable. Having formed a plan, I wrote a note and tied it to the kunai with a grin. Sharpening its edges with the wind, I threw it through the window of the Hokage's office and disappear.

POV HIRUZEN

"What a problematic day today. It seems that these Naras infected me with their laziness. Precisely, they are to blame for this. "- I said to myself, replenishing my favorite pipe. I wanted to get my favorite crystal ball and look after the younger generation or look at the hot springs, but , ANBU would have seen this.

After thinking a little more, I decided to let them go for a while and relax a little. Taking out the ball, I put it in my hands and activated the seals, began to concentrate. Perhaps today there will be hot springs and beautiful girls. I unrolled the chakra and already began to see the beautiful outlines of young girls.

"Yo, Hokage!"

"Holy shit!" - I jumped, canceling the technique. Turning around, I saw Jiraiya in the window.

"Why are you constantly walking in through the window? Is it really so difficult to walk through the door like a normal person at least once?

"Well, I'm not a normal person, I'm a ninja," Jiraiya said again.

Each time listening to his excuses, it seems that the case speaks, and then it starts talking nonsense.

"As I understand it, you didn't come to see the old man," I leaned back tiredly, turning a chair on wheels to look at my student sitting on the windowsill.

Jiraiya immediately became serious.

"Yes, I got more information. But the most important thing is that in the morning someone robbed the village of sand and left without even scratching, colliding with Chiyo, Kazekage, and half of their village. He even wounded the Kazekage severely in the stomach, damaging the intestines. But the doctors pulled him out and put him on his feet quickly. But most importantly, he then pretended to be your appearance and returned the scrolls to them. Most likely not all, but the sand remained silent and hid everything that actually happened. It seems that they said something about youth and the will of fire ... "

Jiraiya could not finish as the kunai pierced the window at incredible speed with a sound cutting through both glass and air, he entered the wall.

Looking at the kunai, both swallowed. They relaxed too much and if the kunai were flying at their heads they would die. Jumping out, taking out their weapons, they saw no one. The Anbu came and did not find anyone either. Neither the Hyuuga nor the other sensors found anything.

"There is a note on the kunai," one of the ANBU remarked. And taking it out, he handed it to me.

It was written in it.

"Yo! I've traveled here and there, got a good sense of the mind. It turns out that my native village abandoned me after trying to kill me and kidnap me for organs and recorded me as a deserter in bingo. And that old man was completely covered with Uchiha eyes, can you imagine? Well, at least I became Genin, such a progress. By the way, I heard how you robbed the sand village this morning, I must praise. With your old bones, running back and forth so fast is an achievement. Who knows, maybe for your deeds heaven will strike you with lightning as punishment. But it seems that the ancient sages said that lightning does not strike twice in one place? Who knows who knows…"

END OF POV

On that day, the Hokage Tower was evacuated without a specified reason and almost all shinobi were running around the village in search of something suspicious. But what exactly the Hokage did not explain. The bodies of the Hokage's advisors were also found, which led to even more panic. But the Hokage reassured everyone by gathering them in the square, saying that everything was in order and there was no need to worry because everything was under his control.
