tree beater 9000 (In a store near you)

A week has passed since Matsuo has been looking around for a good tree, he couldn't wait for his evil schemes to start. If he had any, anyways... He found the tree on the sixth day, and has spent the rest of his time building a little home in a nearby cave. He can't be expected to run all the way to a tree in the middle of the forest, more than a few kilometers away from the nearest town.

In the morning of the next week, a resting place was made. Matsuo didn't need to worry about food and water, his inventory was filled with money, food, water, the big book, ect. Though the inventory's inventory still interacted with the real world as normal, no time dilation or all that, though it is sad.

Matsuo got out of the sleeping bag, and got out of the tent he bought. Money makes the world goes round, and that's true, in a figuritive sense.

Matsuo walked out of his new cave, his posture filled with confidence that was leaking out. Matsuo wasn't worried that he would fail, he had a grudge that he recieved from all the trees in the world, probably... How would he know if trees hated him? Anyways, he had beaten up a tree when he was younger and this was no different. He had five years of experience in this field, five years! More like four, but still.

"I know you can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk?" Matsuo said, before a tree with a thickness of five meters at the minimum. It's size domineering, but this didn't stop the expert tree beater Matsuo. His courage unlimited, he glared at the tree as if it killed his family.

"I will never let this debt go unpayed." And he started to punch the tree, making cringy one-liners once in a while "Die for this king-god-emperor-supreme!" "I'm the predator and your the prey, mhuahaahah." "Harashima can't save you now!"... Ect.

When he felt tired he said stuff like "I acknowledge your power, I shall spare your miserable life for a short while." "This king finds you so miserable, this king shall let you take a break for fairness." "Do not misunderstand this god's actions, I have but become bored of this farce."... Ect.

This of course, had... An excuse to back it up. He was practicing his arrogant persona, definitely not doing something to relieve the bordom and loneliness...

At the end of the day, some bark had dropped to the floor. So he made a centimeter or two, from loose bark. He's seven man, what do you expect? That his punch would destroy the mountain two kilometers away? His hands were wounded and he wouldn't be able to punch full force in fear of getting scars, for now.

As the reincarnated Uchiha, Matsuo still doesn't have a high pain tolerance. He's a coward that doesn't fight much, maybe this will be better than he thought?

Before he walked away he honestly felt annoyance against that tree "You will rue the day that you got in the way of my schemes!" But before he left he made a shadow clone to beat some random tree for even more experience in the field, also, just so you know. 'Shadow clone jutsu' the B-rank jutsu that a chunin can get their hands on with some hard work, is not the same as 'Multi-shadow clone jutsu' the A-rank jutsu that's hard to come by and takes so much chakra that it was classified as a forbidden jutsu.

To be honest, shadow clone jutsu is Matsuo's best jutsu. He just doesn't use it that much, usually just to buy some time while he runs away. He even made a little improvement that made it possible to drop a few drops of red colored water if wounded, every improvement is good. That kind of thing, the stuff that makes people easier to fool.

Though the challenge he was supposed to do was annoying as fuck.

[Challenge: Make a clone kill healthy human adult in their prime with ninjutsu

Reward; base shadow clone jutsu]

Do you have any idea how annoying it is to make a normal clone, without a physical body, contain chakra. Extremely, extremely annoying. First he had tried to make a change and give the clone a crude body, but that fell apart every time. So he suspended a core of physical chakra inside of the clone to contain even more chakra inside it, since there was a slight success, which was it not collapsing in on itself the moment it was made, that let Matsuo see so many more problems.

He had constant nightmares about him working as a centenarian, still finding out how the fuck to do it. Matsuo shivered at just the thought, those were true nightmares. Not a recollection of a past trauma, but a future occurance that shows yourself having made thousands of mistakes in your life. You got through the old trauma in one way or another, but the future can be more terrifying than anything you've dealt with in your life.

Anyways, Matsuo made it work with a weird chakra skeleton and joints with his own creation, chakra bearings! Original technique, do not steal, TM, copyrighted. Though it was pretty much useless after getting the new jutsu, it worked in a completely different way to his tricks. He was kind of salty with how primitive the shadow clone was made, he spent five months of hard work into sofisticated methods of moving a clone's physical characteristics, and a shadow clone is just chakra in the form of a human with some channels similar to a human's channels that straight up moves the human formed lump of chakra.

He also realized something that entire time, all this shit the shadow clone does, it needs way higher chakra control than he has. It straight up changed the way chakra works by manipulating it in a different way to the jutsu that he has, not just making it physical, but changing how it interacts with the world around it. Anyways, he made the clone make a small fire above its finger tip, but in that place was something called the brain, I think you know what happened next.

Anyways Matsuo had a nice rest for the night, when he woke up new memories of beating trees through the night was there. Then Matsuo, the most sensible and wise sage of this world made two more shadow clones to beat up trees for protection money. Then as a godfather, Matsuo walked up to the tree with a cold expression "That's some nice bark, it would be a shame if something were to... Happen to it."

Another fufilling day of tree beating had finished for Matsuo, but not for the slav- cough cough, shadow clones. Then he had another relaxing night, then beat the tree while having shadow clones abuse other trees.

This day, a month of tree beating later, Matsuo had gone to a city closeby "Thank you for your patronage sir." Matsuo had made his last transaction, he was close to running out of supplies in his inventory. Unfortunately Matsuo's inventory doesn't have that much space in it, about half was left for supplies.

On his way back through the forest, Matsuo held out his fist. Matsuo has been feeling something wrong every time he punched, but a small amount, but its so annoying. He wondered what it was, maybe sword intent? The non-existent, fist intent? Probably not, maybe some kind of technique is being cooked up or something?

Maybe, maybe not. I don't have a lot of experience in this field, Matsuo also didn't. And he had doubts about if he was infected by the black plague, maybe chollera too.

Anyways, when he came back three whole gansters were beating up their customers. The trees all had holes in them, not uniform fists, but holes. The big tree had a weird circular path way inside it, going a meter deep.

Tree beating had become a science, or something with a resemblence to it. He didn't have a lot of stuff to do, he made a few books of power, they were pretty bad. But very expensive if the right buyer was found, so he put it in his inventory.

In recent days he's been making more and more alien clicking sounds while beating the tree, it just felt right to him. Anyways, he did that for a few more weeks.

And through that has tripled his progress, his tree beating ways have made a qualitive leap. The feeling has also tripled and made a qualitive leap, not by much though.

He just ignored the feeling, just a few weeks more and he'd be done. He can deal with a bit of annoyance, he's been beating up a tree for two months, He wouldn't stop because of a minor annoyance. The sunk cost fallacy wouldn't allow it, he still had his pride.

As an Uchiha, of course he had to cultivate his pride! Even if he could throw it away at a moments notice, its easier to fool people with a pride that doesn't have any real effect on you then a fake pride that is easy to see through with instinct and some feeling.

'I won't give up! I must have revenge for the clan!' Matsuo was making jokes non-stop, he never cared for the clan! Oh wait, I think I know why he cares.

Anyways, after the last punch. He heard some gasps and afraid children sounds. At moments like this, Matsuo had an instinctual need to become an alien monster. On the other side, a procession of all the nearby town's people saw a human hand that punched out of their holy tree, transform into a grotesque monster.

These townspeople had walked to their divine tree in a rural ritual, these days there have been many bad omens. The procession came here too their gardian deity, the children became afraid due to weird clicking sounds. The parents comforted their children, saying things like "Its just the animals sweety, there aren't any monsters here." Ect.

After they saw 'It' another 'thing' slowly climbed down from the canopy, some kids start to cry. The hand retracted into the tree, Right at that moment Matsuo was already setting up a challenge to make the most out of this unlikely occurrence.
