Chapter 8: My Purpose

"... Ren Jisakai"

Muttered Ino under her breath as she showed a smile. Her face was red, blushing at the recent events that transpired just recently 'I will remember you' She thought and went back to her parents

Her heart beating so fast for the first time seeing a handsome and cute boy in front of her. She couldn't think straight for days after that encounter.

[•Understanding the Basics:

You should first study and comprehend the fundamental principles of time and space manipulation. This may involve researching scientific theories, studying existing literature, or seeking guidance from someone experienced, though there is no one other than probably Minato who knows something about it but that's all.

Control and Focus:

Developing control and focus over your powers is crucial. You should practice exercises that enhance your concentration and mental discipline. Meditation or other mindfulness techniques may help achieve this.

Experimentation and Observation:

You can experiment with your powers in controlled environments. You should observe the effects of your manipulations of time and space and learn from the outcomes. This process helps in understanding the limits, consequences, and potential of your abilities. Though your powers are far beyond reality so it doesn't have a limit at all.

Continuous Practice:

Like any skill or ability, mastering time and space manipulation requires consistent practice. So you should dedicate time to refine your abilities, explore new techniques, and expand your understanding of the object

And that's it.]

"I thought you would tell me later tonight"

[I have no time for that, so I decided to tell it to you early... I think I know what you are about to d-

"I guess I have no choice but to train hehe"

[You damn monster!]

"Relax, Lix. It's not like I have better things to do"

I said to him as I was now in my room

After my first encounter with Ino, I went back home. But not before getting an earful from Mom, though she let it slide since I didn't seem to get hurt 'I guess I can freely train now, just don't get on Mom's bad side' I thought, deciding to sit down crossed leg on the floor of my room, and started to meditate

"This feels nice. After this, I'll work on my abilities. No need to learn the concepts since I already know them. Only a matter of time now before I can master and perfect these two powers of mine"

I muttered. Time-related powers. From what I can come up with, I can control time, travel through timelines and such, erase and create timelines, reverse time, accelerate time, time dimensions, time capsule varieties, see the future and the past, and such. So many to think about, and to think all of this is possible once I can control and perfect my time manipulation without any limitations or drawbacks to it. And also, since being the embodiment and the concept of both time and space. I'm immortal

The same goes for my space manipulation. Able to create space out of nothing, make my dimension perhaps, manipulating and ripping apart the very fabric and atoms that make up space itself, being able to distort space and make ripples, create an unlimited and infinite space around myself to avoid damage, much like Gojo Satoru's ability in a way, but of course, mine will be better and stronger. So many possibilities, and combining both of these abilities is something I drool over just thinking about it 'For now, I'll meditate. I'm confident I can perfect these soon' I thought. My body glowed a bright white aura whilst floating slightly off the floor. I already have achieved inner peace within myself. I was, transcending

[Shit. It looks like he has obtained Absolute transcendence. Combining that with his other two passive powers, I can't even imagine the destruction and power, not to mention his growth... Damn.]

Lix said, managing to observe that I have obtained a level of transcending beyond existence, reality, and comprehension, just by looking at my aura. Omnipotent beings will kneel once they see me, because I transcend them, in any way shape, or form. I will always and will forever transcend my opponents whenever and whatever I want to. Absolute power. Though I'm probably thinking way too far in the future. I'll focus on what is happening right now.

[2 Months Later.]

After the first day of my mission, things went normally. Meaning my schedule every day was just waking up early, doing my physical training, reading from the library, going back home and meditating, and as well as practice manipulating my powers over time and space.

Around 2 months have passed and I've gotten significantly stronger now, though the word significantly is underestimating the growth that I had in only 2 months' worth of time. There are no conceivable words out there to describe the level of transcending and adaptability I have displayed in that time frame. Lix just accepted the fact that I'm a monster, which he keeps saying to me, though in a good way, he also added. Well, I do acknowledge my abnormal growth after all, and I'm used to it now so it shouldn't be surprising

In that time frame, my meditation has yielded results in manipulating my space-time powers. It also is a relaxing way for me to do if I need some rest or peace now and then

I can now fully grasp manipulating my powers with ease as my concentration has grown immensely. And with the help of Lix who stated that he also was responsible for improving my mind in a way, I have grown keen on the people around me, sensing them and seeing things no ordinary being can see with their eyes. Seeing and feeling their emotions, desires, and feelings. Reading them is just like reading a children's book for me. It's like toying with their soul in a way.

And Hiruzen hasn't caught up with me yet. And I would rather keep it that way. I'll leave this world until I'm finished with it, but that doesn't mean I can do whatever I want just like that. A lot of people stood in my place before in this world that was from my world as well. I've seen enough and read enough to see their deeds and plans in this world, and yet all of those were so annoying

I don't plan on taking over this world by force, being this Anti-hero bullshit like every other person is, or any of those villain things. Because quite frankly, it's meaningless. As I said, I've read enough to the point that seeing the meaning behind those decisions

Of course, every decision is caused by each individual's past and that will lead to making their future choices. Regardless if they are not from that world anymore, they still add their past lives and influence themselves into making decisions that benefit them. Again, it is dependent on what type of person that is making the decisions, but that doesn't change the fact that they are still influenced by their past experiences and then leading it into a new world that they have been sent into

I have taken the liberty to be someone that can be better than those. To be something more than just be "a part" of a particular world and just live in the background, or take over it for selfish needs. Purifying everything to its purest form is a luxury I can help give. I may be neutral sometimes, or lazy. But that doesn't change what I will do to cultivate myself and this world, or any world that I am in, for the sake of betterment for everyone. I will do my best.

[Alright, that should be a good ideology for every main character ever. I just hope sooner or later we'll fight a villain that contradicts your ideology too. Like every other Shonen anime.]

"I guess so... It's quite relaxing sitting here atop Minato's stone head"

I said, taking a bite of my dango. Overlooking the village as the sun high up from the sky starts to descend down

"It's been 2 months right?... I'm satisfied with this"

I smiled to myself since I'd never been this peaceful in my life in a long time. I've grown quite a bit in these 2 months. My red ruby eyes started to shine even brighter since I obtained it, making me, as Mom said, "More handsome than I already was"

I mean, I've never really taken my appearance seriously. But ever since Mom said that I've grown quite accustomed to my appearance lately. Accepting that I indeed, have quite a face. Even girls in the village said it as well so there is no denying it now. Even some of the older ones, I sensed lust all over their minds when they saw me

[Yeah, and I still haven't seen your mom's body.]

"If that happens, It would be the end of reality"

[Shut your damn mouth. I've been trying to take a peek at your mom. Give me this one chance man.]

Lix said, his voice filled with desperation

"You said it yourself. Until I see a pussy with my very own eyes, then I'll let you take a look at Mom's figure"

[I shouldn't have said that. You're more self-controlling than I thought you'd be. Well, no matter. I WILL make you look at Ino's pussy if it's the last thing I do!]

Lix said, his tone filling with determination at seeing my mom's naked body. Unbelievable this system is, unbelievable indeed

"Good luck with that Lix. And please stop mentioning Ino in these matters"

[Don't try and hide it. You've grown quite a liking to her these past two months.]

Lix said, and I could only sigh since I couldn't argue his words. I indeed took a liking to the young blonde. Though she hasn't seen me since our little bump incident. But I regularly see her around the village, though from afar. Somedays I just watched her play with Sakura from a distance far enough that she wouldn't see me. It was another way for me to relax when I'm done with my training

"I admit I did, and still do. Let's see what happens moving forward"

I said, and ate my dango in peace, as the day ended and it was night-time

===

"Hey, have you noticed the drawings in Ino's room?"

Suddenly, Inoichi asked his wife who was cooking dinner

"Yeah, a kid with dark hair and red eyes is it?"

She replied as Inoichi nodded

"She has a lot of drawings of that for some reason. I don't know any kid that looks like that. But why? She suddenly started to draw after we registered her in the academy. Did she meet someone? Perhaps that kid in her drawing?"

"Probably. I guess our little Ino has himself a crush then"

"Maybe, but... She seems a bit obsessed"

"Leave her be honey. She's still a child after all so it's probably normal"

"I guess so... And also, she's been reading more romance novels as well. No denying it then, my daughter has a crush on him. But who is he?..."

"A question for another day, because dinner is ready. Call Ino for me will you? And don't mention her drawings, she's... A bit sensitive in that topic"

"Really? Well, sooner or later, she'll be more open about it. I'm intrigued about this kid that stole my daughter's heart"

Inoichi said as he headed towards Ino's room.

*Gulp*

I finished the last piece of Dango as I had a satisfied face. Patting my stomach filled with dango

"I guess it's time to go home huh"

I stood up from Minato's stone face. Stretching my arms a bit, and disappeared out of existence. No trace left behind 'My speed is looking great. A lot of development that's for sure. I'll hide my space time manipulation for now unless it is necessary'.

(Hoping you all are enjoying this.)
