107. Instant Mastery

( Yuto Pov )

Sweep, spin, strike, step back, block, step forward, sweep.

I've done this with the scythe, I was only doing the basic, only correcting my stance on finding a better balance. I haven't integrated breathing style with it.

Now I'm just working on footwork.

Kakashi:" Training in another weapon? Are you that bored?"

" Phew, shouldn't you be reading smut?"

Kakashi:" Touche, so why the sudden interest for a scythe?"

" Because it looks cool."

* Swish *

I was spinning the scythe as I moved back and turned sideways stopping.

Kakashi:" Seems you're getting the hang of it already."

* Swish * * Swoosh * * Shiiing *

Breathing in and out, I started to add breathing style.

Rotating the scythe around my waist, I caught it and spinned along with it using the momentum to cut into a tree.

* Slash *

[ Ding! Acheivment Unlocked ]

[ New Skill: Instant Mastery]

( Description: Because you've learned multiple skills and weapons, you've unlocked a new skill. You're able to instantly master any form of skill, weapon, etc.]

I instantly changed my grip on the scythe in a better position and moved my feet in a comfortable stance that felt easy to move from.

Kakashi:" Hmm? did you perhaps learn before?"

" No. I probably just have a better affinity with a Scythe."

Also, I felt constant total concentration breathing was active passively.

' Phew, this is great.'

[ Time Manipulation] [ Level 100 ]

' Time stop '

Feeling time stopped as I saw in white and black color.

spinning my scythe, I cut the tree multiple times before stopping and releasing the skill.

* FWOOSH!! * * Crash *

The tree fell. I was not able to do this for 5 seconds because my mana wasn't enough. But it was high leveled enough for mana to activate it. Though I felt my body was extremely tired but recovered with life force.

* Pssshhh * Smoke came from my body.

Kakashi:" Wha???"

Kakashi was shocked to see the tree cut down in an instant.

" Whoops."

I looked to the scythe as it was steaming as well.

' Hmm, I should make a durable one.'

Kakashi:" What just happened."

" Just a new jutsu I'm working on." I didn't turn back as I was checking if the scythe was broken.

[ Durability: 867/ 1,200]

' Hmm, I should definitely make a stronger one'

" So why are you here?"

Kakashi:" I found a lead on that mask guy."

" The one that poisoned the village?"

Kakashi:" Yes." He spoke as he took out a kunai.

' Idiot must've forgotten it.'

" And? it's not like we could just go after him?"

Kakashi:" Actually, we already have permission from the Hokage."

' Well shit.'

" Alright. And the two of us are enough?"

I spoke as I looked at Kakashi.

Kakashi:" Yes. I've noticed you're strong as a special jonin."

" Alright, if I die, it's on you."

Kakashi shrugged.

* A few days later,*

[ The Harbringers Scythe ]

[ Legendary]

[ Unique Skill: Blood possession]

( Description: The weapons take the user's blood, giving the user a temporary boost. Able to mend and sharpen in contact with blood.)

I held a red and white scythe. As I created this Syrhe, I used Blood Ore, which I got from the Gacha.

Kakashi:" Did you really have to make that?""

" Yes, it's my child." I held the scythe over my shoulder.

Kakashi:" Sigh."

" This should be the place, right?"

Kakashi:" Yes."

We entered a village.

" So, should we just look for the most suspicious person here?"

Kakashi:" That would be a start."

[ Lucky Encounter]

'Sigh, this better be something good.' I thought as I looked around and spotted a familiar face.

" Like Itachi traveling with someone suspicious."

Kakashi looked down towards me.

Kakashi:" What?"

I pointed at the marketplace, and Kakashi looked to see Itachi, and if I remember correctly, Kisame with samehada.

The three of us stopped in the middle of the road as Kisame also stopped along with Itachi.

Kisame:" Hm? do you know these people, Itachi?"

Itachi:" Konoha ninja's."

Kisame gripped Samehada

Kakashi put a hand in his kunai pouch.

Without anyone noticing, I pulled out a smoke bomb.

' Shit, if we're going to fight, we'll have to fight with the intent to kill.'

' But why is Itachi and Kisame here?'

' Are they looking for something? Right, we're also searching for him as well, so Obito or pain ordered to look for him as well.'

With parallel thought, it only took a few seconds to reach that conclusion.

As soon as Itachi activated his sharigan, I threw the smoke bomb with Aeromancy. I spread it out.

With my Sythe, I swung downward towards Itachi, which he blocked with his kunai.

Itachi:" So it came to this, Yuto."

" I'm batman."

Itachi ignored those words and used his mangekyou.

' Ah totally forgot that.'

* Itachis Tsukuyomi *

Itachi:" I see there's a limit to your genjutsu resistance."

I turned around to see Itachi walking toward me as I shrugged.

" Eh, if I wanted to, I could escape."

Itachi looked down to me as I stared at him through my sunglasses.

Itachi:" You've grown stronger."

" Why are you here?" I spoke as I shocked the surroundings.

Itachi:" Obito managed to find a trace of Shisui here."

" Kakashi did as well, shisuis, leading them to a trap."

Itachi:" Hn, I thought so as well."

We talked for a while, mostly Itachi asking about Sasuke.

Itachi:" You said you could escape whenever, right? let's see."

" Are you challenging me?"

Itachi smiled.

[ Gamers mind Activated]

* Real world *

Blood seeped from Itachis eyes as he tried to keep his kunai up.

Sensing Kakashi losing, I decided to switch.

" Switch!"

Kakashi understood, and as he backed off, I threw a bomb filled with gunpowder in Itachis face.

Using the hidden blades, I created a spark.

* Boom*

Itachi retreats, and as the fire is covering him, he throws shurikens through it.

' Bullet time.'

I took out a few shuriken and threw them to block the shurikens

* Clink clink clink clink clink*

Using this chance, I parkoured over Kakashi as he blocked Samehada and kicked Kisame in the face.

Kakashi used rhis chance to go to Itachi.

Kisame:" That was a mean kick kid."

He spoke as he held his jaw.

Putting up the Scythe, I blocked Samehada.

" Phew, let's make this interesting, should we?"

Kisame:" Hoh?"

' Iris, make my stats back to lower chunin.'

Feeling weaker, Kisame overpowered me easily. I parried Samehada and kicked it into Kisames chest.

Kisame:" Hm? that was weaker than before?"

" Blood Possession."

Feeling the Sythe punctured my hand as it absorbed my blood, I controlled the remaining blood to the scythe blade.

Feeling stronger, I used a newly created technique.

' Scythe Arts: Blood Moon: Crimson Reaper.'

Slashing towards Kisame, he blocked the attack, but some blood was splashed onto him.

Stretching my hand out, I grasped it.

The blood seeped into his skin, peircing into it as it integrated with his blood.

Kisame:" Ugh!!"

He swung his sword, but I used blood manipulation to move it by an inch, which I used this chance to attack his stomach.

Peircing his stomach, I manipulated the rest of the blood on my Sythe to enter his body.

Kisame:" AARRRGGHH!!" Kisame yelled as he swung down Samehada.

* bang!!*

Stepping back, I dodged the attack.

' Good, he's getting slower. '

Itachi:" Kisame!"

Itachi used his genjutsu to turn into crows that surrounded Kakashi and used Tsukuyomi.

As Itachi made his way over. Kisame spoke.

Kisame:" Itachi, you don't mind if I finish this fight?"

Itachi came close, and he looked at me and at Kisame, then to Kakshi, who was weakened.

Itachi:" We should leave."

Kisame accepted, but I didn't let that happen.

" You must be feeling weak after that second Tsukuyomi. And he's injured already, I don't mind finishing this fight."

Kisame looked to Itachi, and they both nodded.

Itachi:" Fire style: Great fire ball jutsu!!"

Kisame gripped Samehada as it broke out of its wrapping.

' Fire Style: Fireball justu.'

Nullifying Itachis attacks with mine, as I moved back samehada grazed my arm which absorbed some chakra.

Spinning my Scythe, I attacked Kisame, and Itachi moved in with a kunai. moving my face to the dogging the kunai.

I grabbed Itachis arm and punched under his arm.

* Crack *

Itachi:" Ugh."

Kisame moved in with an attack as I parried Samehada.

' Scythe art: Earth Shaker: Quakebreaker'

* BOOM!!!*

With the earth element, I stabbed the Syrthe to the ground, which destroyed the ground.

itachi jumped back with Kisame and used a smoke bomb.

' Breath of the mi..Ugh.'

Feeling my body fell on one knee, I knew that the temporary boost was over.

Taking a kunai out, and threw it into the smoke.

* Swish *

Shurikens flew out and forced my body to move. I felt I couldn't move in time.

Using eyes of fate and possibility manipulation, I cut some fate strings that were fired to hit me to hit other shurikens next to them.

* Ding, Ding Ding Ding *

Itachi:" Huff, still lucky, huh?"

The smoke cleared to reveal Kisame on one knew as he took out the kunai that was stuck into his leg.

" Huff, what can I say, I'm just better."

Standing up with the help of life force. I activated a hand sign.

' Swift release: shadows wind'

By using the shadow clones, they would move in a blur towards Itachi and Kisame surrounding them.

And they manage to stab them.

' As I thought a distraction.'

Turning around, I grabbed Samehada.

Kisame:" You're quite the monster!!"

" I try my best."

I felt my chakra getting absorbed. So I used life force to cover my hand.

' A clone?'

* Pssh *

' A paper bomb'

Kicking the clone away as it exploded onto a wall.

* Boom!!*

Looking around with the scythe in my hand, I was looking to see if they would attack again.

Looking at the map, I saw two dots escaping.

I walked to Kakashi.

As I got close, I noticed he was breathing heavily.

Kakashi;" Huff, how did you survive that?"

" Like I said before, genjutsu doesn't work on me."

I picked up Kakashi, and out helped him stand as I put his arm over my shoulder.

" Come, let's go find a place to rest."

Kakashi:" It was a trap, right?"

" Yeah, he must've intentionally left those Kunais to bring us here, and I'm sure he did the same with those two, taking us out with one stone."

Kakashi;" I see."

' I admit Shisui, that was genius.'
