Shisui the catalyst

Matsuo wondered what he should do, then he remembered that skill function.

[Skill function booting up...]

[Skills; basic strategy 1.]

So, pretty much it lets you use skills like a video game, with levels and all. But Matsuo wondered, what did that skill do?

[Basic strategy, lvl 1

Having learnt normal strategums, you start to use them in real world situations. But you're not good enough to be used in a war or in any type of battle for that matter, so you usually just use them to win games against children.]

'Did the system thing try to diss me?' Matsuo looked at the description again 'If it did, then its really bad at it.' But he did have to be honest with something, he was way better at strategizing now 'Maybe I should play some chess, I mean shogi, how do you play shogi again? Eh, I'll just play chess.'

Matsuo started to throw shuriken at the target, and he did that the entire day. Until his parents made dinner, then when he had to go to sleep. Where he went somewhere else in the night to train even more, then he went to bed at around 1:00.

-1 week later-

There was a bit of taijutsu sparing, so fun thing, Naruto reached the standard. And was going to spar with me, there was one problem, Matsuo trained with shurikens and kunai only except if he was in the academy "Ha, am I up to your little standard now?"

Matsuo sighed and said "Barely, I feel bad for you. Training with chakra so much, but not being able to use it." Then Matsuo 'had' an idea, you could figuratively see a lightbulb turning on in his mind "How about we use everything, including chakra in this fight. Of course I won't use chakra though, I have way to big of an advantage in that field." while doing some hidden bragging, Matsuo was pleading in his heart 'Please be dumb enough to fall for this.'

Naruto laugh "Of course I'll do it, I'm going to be the hokage in the future, how could I back down from a challenge? Believe it!" Matsuo looked at Iruka coldly "Fine I'll allow it, Go pick up some shuriken and kunai."

[Automatic challenge activated]

[Challenge: Defeat Naruto with only one type of weapon/attack

Reward; basic Shurikenjutsu/basic Kunaijutsu/basic Taijutsu/basic Kenjutsu/Fire style: Ichi]

Instantly Matsuo chose to get kunaijutsu, he didn't know what it was, but getting an extra skill isn't a bad choice. Of course he did take a lot of shuriken with him too, but way more kunai.

"Ready loser?" Matsuo asked curiously, while fliping the kunai in the air "I was born ready asshole!" Matsuo was getting under his skin, he just asked if a loser was ready without any ridicule in his voice as if him being a loser was a fact.

Matsuo looked at the teacher on duty "Begin!" Matsuo right after hearing that threw the kunai he was playing with, rushing at naruto right away. Naruto jumped out of the kunai's path, ducking the other kunai thrown at him by Matsuo. Since they were only five meters appart, Matsuo was able to cut naruto on his right arm. Naruto kicked at matsuo, but so obviously that he just stepped out of the way and cut his leg, that was a bit worse than the one on the arm.

Naruto staggered at the pain of the cuts, he was but a child afterall. Matsuo cut him in the other arm, then blocked a punch, grabbed the arm an cut it again. When naruto winced at the pain for a bit to long, matsuo rushed past him, and cut him on his side.

Matsuo yawned, this was way easier than expected. He thought it was going to be a hard fought battle, but he wasn't dumb enough to let down his guard. You never now when a wild kurama will appear, so just to be sure he rididculed him a tiny bit by only attacking when attacked or not attacked for to long.

After a while "Matsuo Uchiha wins." Iruka said after seeing naruto with cuts every over his body, but Matsuo wasn't all that worried, an Uzumaki has high vitality "I can still go Iruka-sensei!" Of course he could, those cuts would be gone in an hour, max "No Naruto, you're getting toyed with. If this wasn't him just having fun you would've lost the moment he got close to you, he used those kunai at a senior academy student level."

At that Matsuo was surprised, and looked at his talent with kunai

[...

Kunaijustu: 23

...]

Wow, that's pretty high. plus working really hard and entire week does that stuff, he guessed "Fine Iruka-sensei." Naruto looked at Matsuo "But I'll fight you again next week."

[Challenge completed.]

[Proccesing rewards...]

Matsuo murrmered to himself loud enough for Naruto to hear "Maybe I should raise my standard? This was way to easy, like... dropkicking a todler." Then he walked of the stage, Naruto would be harvested for a long, long time.

Most of the kids were impressed, but not surprised. Matsuo was an uchiha, of course he would be talented. And Matsuo did a fun little thing, he took the kunai with him, more like put a few in his bag while putting the kunai and shuriken away. The kunais felt more natural in his hands, he could flip them in the air nicely. It was really cool, but not cool enough.

[Kunaijutsu lvl 1

Having trained with kunais for a long time, you gained a small natural affinity to them. To bad they originate from trowls, maybe make the boruto one?]

Matsuo looked at what the system recommended 'That's a pretty good idea, those look way cooler.' The boruto ones had the handle of a brass nuckle, at least the ones konohamaru used.

Matsuo then tried to feel his chakra, it was more defined then before. He could look at the finer details, and can faintly control it. As if it was a part of him, instead of some foreign energy. Matsuo wanted to not be totally relient on the system for now, 'Hmmmmmmmm?'

[Affirmative proccessing...]

[Challenges loaded]

[Challenge: Make a string of chakra with a length of 2> cm and maintain it for a minute Reward; 1 point of chakra control]

[Challenge: stick a leaf on your head and keep it there for 5 minutes Time limit: 1 month Rewards; 1 point in chakra control talent.]

Happy at his own genius, Matsuo had a pop in his step. Instead of actually respecting the duels, Matsuo had better things to do than be all sentimental and shit. Especially when he got a new 'toy', a toy that can make a lot of other 'toys'.

Soooo... Instead of looking into the abyss, Matsuo started to master the mystery that is chakra. At the end of the school day not too much difference was made, but remember he didn't have any talent at all. But the more chakra went through a path, the easier chakra could move through that path.

'Its like muscle memory, I guess.' Matsuo thought "Or maybe it's adaption?" He murmered. Naruto, who was close by heard it, but he was thinking about how to beat Matsuo and didn't care.

Back at his house Matsuo tried to make his chakra flow through every 'chakra path' or whatever it was called 'Maybe I should ask one of the hyuga? naa.'

But then he had a better idea, train for the talent only. It has a time limit, and the ability to grow was a way beter thing than just another point.

-2 weeks later-

Matsuo has beaten Naruto up an extra 6 times, it was even easier than last time. He got a free taijutsu skill from it, but the next time I beat him up as if he were a real loser, it was not like dropkicking a todler, but like killing a newborn. Not that he had researched that topic, not really that popular if he had to say. He got a new challenge, it had a description too.

[Challenge: Defeat 1000 people in a row, only counts if only taijutsu is used and has at least 3000 in overall stats Description; As someone who has dominated someone with more stats than you, you have proven yourself as a master of your craft. Reward; specialized taijutsu (one chosen depending on battles.)]

'Dafuq? I'm a master of taijutsu? What kind of stuff is the system on? And how much would it sell for?' Matsuo wasn't getting it done anytime soon, he didn't even now the stats of a genin, how would he now how strong someone is?

Anyways, Matsuo wasn't going to get that point in talent at this rate, he could only keep the leaf there for maybe a minute. So, Matsuo started to complain 'Com'n system, how am I supposed to do this? This is way unfair!'

[Objective was the furthest a normal person should be able to obtain and a bit extra with your talent and reward from the system. 'It was deemed as fair, so no takebacks!'- some random person.]

'Did the system put me down with a quote? How the hell did it even get one? Less worrying about the thing that could kill me instantly, and more thinking about how to get that point.' Instead of thinking about how to do it normally, Matsuo had given up all hope of that, but if there were loopholes.

There were actually a lot of them, but the best one was; laying down on the floor then just connecting the leaf to the head with chakra, no need to defy gravity.

After 2 weeks of constant work, Matsuo had gained a modicum of talent in chakra control. Little did he know that the ancient disaster, Itachi, was being put into motion.

Currently a suicidal shisui had a kunai in his hands, he sighed and steeled his resolve 'I can't let me become the wedge that destroyed our relations with the village.' He thought he was saving the clan, but he was just bringing its demise. He was attacked by Danzo and had lost one of his eyes.

He stretched his arms, and pulled them back with as much power as possible. The next morning a passer by found Shisui's day old corpse in a nearby forest, with both of his eyes gone. One taken by Danzo, the other taken by Itachi, who had found the corpse while the sun was still down.
