NLS131-140

Chapter 131

At the end of the story the Hokage sighed, "I'm just glad this whole

thing's behind us now."

I nodded, "yeah...how's he holding up?"

"Better than one would expect," the Hokage sighed, "now...Yami,

there's another matter I wished to speak to you about. How much do

you know about Naruto's...history?"

Raised an eyebrow, "you need to be way more specific old man."

The Hokage smiled before growing serious, "I mean, do you know why

people treat him so differently?"

Ah, the Kyuubi, I nodded, "yup. You're talking about the Kyuubi right?"

The Hokage's widened, "yes, I am. You already know?"

I shrugged, "I'm a chakra sensor remember? I figured it out a long time

ago. Actually it was a few days after I met him."

Lie successful!

The man looked shocked, "and you didn't say anything? Nothing?"

I blinked, "well...you didn't either, so I figured there must be a reason

right?"

Lie successful!

"Yes...there was," the man looked at me with calculating eyes, "all

these years, you knew, and you didn't once feel ...scared?"

I chuckled, "Naruto's a moron, why would I ever feel scared of a guy

who I consider a dumb little brother? The Kyuubi on the other hand,

yeah, maybe, but Naruto and the Kyuubi are totally different, so what's

the point? I'm a finjutsu specialist lord Hokage, I know the difference

between a sealing scroll and the kunai inside of it."

The man's REP scored leaped to 65. He smiled, "you're a very mature

person Yami, always have been. I'm glad Naruto got you as a

brother...it makes me happy to know he won't be prosecuted for being

what he is."

I smiled, "thanks for those kind words. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have

a little brother to see and congratulate on making genin!"

Hokage nodded, "right, dismissed."

I left his office and quickly went back to my place, walking in and calling

out, "I'm home!"

"Yami!" Naruto called out from the dining room. I walked in and found

him eating some instant ramen for dinner.

I scowled, "two weeks and you're eating instant ramen again. Honestly

Naruto, I told you nutrition is important!"

"Hey! Don't diss ramen!"

I rolled my eyes, "whatever," he got up and quickly charged into me,

giving me a tight hug, Is milled as I patted his back, "it's good to see

you again Naruto. How have you been?"

"Great! And hey, check it out!" he ran into his room and came out with a

headband, an old one that looked to be well used, "I'm a ninja too! I'm

a genin Yami!"

I grinned, "alright! This calls for a treat! Come on! Let's go out for

dinner!"

Naruto blinked, "but I was just having dinner."

"Would you rather have instant ramen or Ichiraku ramen?" I raised an

eyebrow.

"Ichiraku!" Naruto grabbed his tracksuit jacket and in moments we were

out the door.

We had lunch late into the night, Ayame and her dad kept it open just

for us. We payed, giving the family of two a big tip, and took a slow

walk around the village that was slowly growing quieter.

"So then Iruka sensei tied this around my head and called me his most

favorite student!" Naruto said with a smile as he finished his story

about how he got to be a genin.

I smiled, "cool story Naruto, damn, I wish mine was half as exciting as

yours was! All I had was a boring test!"

"Hehe, that's because I'm awesome!" Naruto cheered.

I smiled, "that you are," we walked in silence for sometime before I

spoke up, "Naruto, I'm sorry about Mizuki...I didn't realise he would use

your faith in me to rock you like that."

"Haha, don't worry about it!" Naruto said with a big smile, "he tricked us

all! Even Iruka sensei was tricked! Do worry about it!"

I smiled, "right."

Naruto smiled as we kept walking at a slow pace towards our home.

Slowly though I noticed I noticed Naruto's smile falling down, I saw him

taking side glances at me and looking conflicted.

I sighed, "okay, what is it?"

Naruto blinked, "what do you mean?"

"You keep looking at me with worry Naruto. What is it? Spit it out

already," I smiled.

"Well...it's just….it's something Mizuki said...before he attacked me," he

looked nervous, scared even. Why...oh, the Kyubi thing, he doesn't

know I know. He probably thinks I would leave.

I smirked, "oh and what did he say?"

"He said...he said...he said that I was the Kyuubi," Naruto spoke in a

low tone.

"GASP! What?! You're the Kyuubi?! What?! How?! Oh my! I'm going to

faint! Help someone help!"

Naruto's eyes widened in fear, "Yami please! I promise I won't hurt you

I…..why are you giggling?"

"Bahahaha!" I exploded into laughter, "oh you face! It's perfect!"

Naruto's eyebrow twitched, "this isn't funny Yami! I'm being serious

here!"

I chuckled, slowly wiping away a tear, "I-I know idiot. I've always

known."

"What?! You knew?! All the time you knew?!" Naruto looked pissed.

I shrugged, "yup. What, you think someone as amazing as me couldn't

figure it out?"

"Why didn't you say anything?!"

"Does it matter?" I asked with a smile, stifling his anger. I ruffled his

hair, Naruto stood just a few inches shorter than me, "you're my little

bro Naruto, it doesn't matter if you have a giant fox living inside of you,

heck that just makes you a little cooler than normal people. I don't care

what you are Naruto, just who you are."

Naruto's eyes began to water and he hugged me again, I smiled as

hugged him back. We stayed like that for a few moments before I broke

it and smiled, "now come on! You have a week before team

placements right?"

Naruto nodded enthusiastically, "yup!"

"Great! Then I can spend the week training you!"

"Really?! Any jusu I want?!"

I nodded, "as long as it's not dangerous, then yes."

"Hell yeah!" Naruto cheered as we quickly went back home.

Chapter 132

The next day:

The next day Naruto woke up bright and early, obviously he was

excited to learn some cool new jutsu. We traveled to training ground

eleven, hopefully my team mates wouldn't mind.

"Alright! What do I learn first?!" Naruto asked eagerly, "oh, can you

teach me that blue fire one that you do?!"

I chuckled, "sorry Naruto, but you lack the chakra control needed to

perform that jutus."

"Chakra control? What's that?" he asked stupidly.

I sighed, was he really this dense? "Chakra control is how much chakra

you can control without it leaking out. It's a major part of a ninja's tool

kit and something that can mean the defrence between life and death."

"Cool!" Naruto said giddly.

I smiled, "glad you think so. Now, here's what we're going to do. You

see that tree over there?" I pointed at a nearby tree, "you're going to

climb it."

Naruto blinked, "but I can already do that!"

I smirked, "without using your hands, watch," I walked to the tree and

walked straight up it's trunk and stood upside down on a branch, "tada."

"Woah! That's so cool!" Naruto cried out.

I smiled and detached myself, landing on my feet, "and if you're really

good you can also walk on water."

"Cool! How did you do that Yami?! Teach me!" Naruto said with his eye

lit up.

"This is how," I then began explaining the process to him, going into

detail on how it should feel and how Naruto should behave. He got to

work quickly, using a kunai to mark his progress.

While he did that I took out the scroll the Hokage gave me and began

to read it. It wa honestly amazing and very in depth when it comes to

how chakra is molded when making a hand sign.

I got the gist of it, I think. Basically every hand sign you make changes

the path way of the chakra in your body, shaking it up as it were. This

allows the chakra to become active and perform certain roles.

I grew curious though, just what did each hand seal contribute into a

jutsu? So I got to work.

By nightfall I had a working theory, and Naruto was half tired, panting in

sweat as the kunai stuck a quarter up the tree.

There were twelve hand seals each based on the zodiac symbol. It

went a little like this:

Tiger- fire and earth release jutsus

Bird- wind release

Dog- water release

Snake- lighting release and a few earth release jutsus as well

Then came the specialised hand seals;

Dragon- usually involved with projection type jutsu, like fireball

Ram- used to channel chakra, usually the at beginning of most high

powered jutsus

Rat- used for focusing chakra into specific use

Ox- Allows for a build up of chakra after initial formation of intent of use

Hare- Usually used in jutsus that is involved with chakra infusion into

body

Horse- Helps control volatile chakra

Boar- used to focus chakra into a specific portion of the body

Monkey- used to disperse chakra, for a wide area effect

I had the list figured out, I finally understood how each worked and

understood how I could manipulate them. And now since I could

understand what made a jutsu up, I could get to work figuring out how

to make moe jutsu for myself, instead of just combining them randomly.

But again, that would take a long time, if only I could somehow get

more time...I turned to NAruto, who was now snoring. No, not more

time, more mes!

The next day:

"So you want me to teach you the shadow clone jutsu?" Naruto asked.

I nodded, "yup. It would really help with my training, I have a month

before the chunin exams and if you teach me it would really help."

Naruto hummed, "well...I guess, but you better teach me a cool new

jutsu after this!"

I smiled, "fine, I promise. If you teach me the shadow clone jutsu, I'll

teach you a wind release jutsu, one strong enough to uproot a tree."

"Yata! Okay, here's how you do it."

Three hours later:

I sighed as I tried again. First I formed the cross hand seal and poured

chakra into my whole body, just as Naruto instructed, it took a while,

but thanks to my perfect chakra control I finally understood just how it

felt to extend your chakra out so much.

It felt like you were pouring a cup's worth of paint onto the floor and

trying to make it fit the entire ten by ten square feet of floor space. No

wonder only trained ninjas with high level charak is allowed to do this.

But what I lacked in chakra, I made for in control!

"Shadow clone jutsu!" I released the chakra at once. And unlike so

many times before, now I felt something;

Ping!

You have learnt a new jutsu!

Shadow clone jutsu, B rank

Divide your chakra equally into different portions to a copy of

yourself.

CP cost- X (depends on user)

Durability of clone- 20% of user's own health

Time limit- INT minutes

-1,875 CP!

There was a puff of smoke as a perfect carbon copy of me blinked in

surprise. He looked down and touched his body, "this is...I'm a clone?"

"Amazing," I said moving closer to him, looking him over as he did the

same to me, "what do you remember last?"

"The jutsu skill being created," he responded.

"Were you made with the knowledge that you were a clone?" I asked.

"Yes...I did...it was like...what else could I be?"

I smirked, "glad to know you won't try to snatch away my body."

He snorted, "as if I would ever do something that stupid."

"Ah, it's so nice to have such an amazing conversation with someone

of equal wit."

Chapter 133

"And not half bad looking either," he grinned, "no wonder chicks think

we're hot."

"Dude! We're hot! Do you know what this means?! We can so get laid!"

I snickered.

He smiled, "hell yeah! Although," he sighed and hanged his head,

"puberty is going to be a bitch."

I sighed, "don't I know it."

"Hey Yami!" Naruto cried out, standing upside down from a tree branch

grinning as he twirled a kunai in his hand, "stop talking to yourself and

look at the amazing me!"

The clone whistled, "not bad, only a day and he already mastered it.

Remember how long it took us?"

I sighed, "yeah..anyway, let's not waste any time, you remember what

the skill limit said, you only have as many minutes as our INT stat

allows us."

The clone opened the stat box, and more importantly I saw him open

the stat box. Hm, maybe he could use the gamer abilities too? I wonder

what would happen if we both use the inventory.

"It's a good idea," he spoke up, "we should try it tonight."

"How...oh, right, clone, same thoughts. You're right, we'll explore this

further tonight. Now, how much time do you have?"

"36 minutes, might as well make it 30 for all the time we wasted," he

said.

I nodded, "agreed. You need a task, since we're interested in Swift

release go into the library as see if you can dig up old records of a

Konoha ninja with that."

"Oh right, it came in that movie with the dude who tried to kidnap

kekkei genkai users and eh mentioned the Swift release was one of

ours. On it, see you later Alpha."

I smirked, "by Beta," and then he took off. I turned to Naruto who was

blinking in surprise, "what? Never see a guy talk to himself before?"

"Ah...no."

I snorted, "alright, come down here, I'll show you the hand seals for the

jutsu."

"Hell yes!" He backflipped and landed on his feet. "Show me! Show

me!"

I smiled, "right, this jutsu is called wind release: Great Breakthrough.

You might want to practise holding your breath."

Half and hour later the clone dispelled sending memories into my head.

He was in the process of following a promising lead when the jutsu cut

itself off. I really need to invest in the INT stat more often now.

I made another clone every half hour, Misa was confused as to how I

kept walking out without her noticing every half hour, but I managed to

convince her it was just an upset stomach.

Naruto and I practised his wind jutsu into the night and by midnight he

had actually managed to create a proper blast of wind strong enough

to topple a tree back. I smiled at that, hard work always payed off.

I had a clone take him home and then turned to the empty field and

turned to my CP bar. It was regenerating at a rate of 50% every 30

seconds, meaning in half a minute my charak level was back to full. OP

chakra control for the win!

Anyway after I reached max CP I focused on creating more shadow

clones, this time diving my chakra into 10 parts.

-3375 CP!

There were ten puffs of smoke as a huge portion of my chakra was

sapped away. We all began to sweat a little, not enjoying the feeling.

"Quick, open your stats and see if all you'r chakra is regenerating," I

said as I saw them do just that.

"No, it's not moving," said the one nearest to me, "the cap is at 375, it

seems if you create a clone with that much chakra, that's it's limit."

"Alright...use a fireball at that tree," I pointed to a far away tree.

The clone did that and it got a message of the chakra it used, but none

of us did. Good, at least I won't be spammed with message regarding

other clones.

The clone that fired the jutsu looked at his stat and nodded, "okay, it's

regenerating the hundred CP I lost, but it's stuck at 375."

"Okay, so you're like my little cell jrs.," I said with a hum, "all my skills

and strength, but weaker."

"It's so strange we all know that reference but can't understand where it

comes from," said one clone, causing us all to sigh.

"Anyway, we should see if the whole dungeon time stopping thing

actually works," said one clone.

I nodded, "right. Three of you stay here, the rest come with me to the

park, time to test this out."

The clones nodded as three stayed behind discussing about chakra

and hand seals while the rest of us went to the park. We arrived quickly

and walked out the glowing blue symbol.

"Hey, why don't one of you try and touch it this time," I suggested, "I

want to see if it will work on clones as well."

Chapter 134

"Right," a clone stepped up and pressed against the blue leaf symbol

and we all waited...and waited. But he was right there. Eventually he

got back up and shrugged, "it didn't work...which is a first."

I hummed, "must only work for me. Damn, that's too bad, kind of

hoping I could just use you guys to grind."

"That is if we can even gain EXP like you can," one clone suggested

causing the rest of us to node.

"Only one way to find out, grab onto my shoulders," I told the others as

they did that. I selected the blue leaf as the dungeon options came up,

this time I might as well go with the latest dungeon level, number 7.

The world changed, and once again I found myself in a valley between

two mountains and a small river flowing in between. It seems that after

number 5, the dungeons just repeated themselves, with stronger

pokemon.

"Alright everyone, try to see if you can access the pokemon menu," I

ordered.

They tried and the clone next to me grumbled, "nope. Can't access it."

I sighed, "inventory?"

Clone grabbed a stone and tossed it to another one, he then opened

the inventory and put it inside, appearing in all our menus.

The clone who opened the inventory grinned "yup! Plus it seems that

for every item we put in our inventory, it shows up in all the other ones

as well! It's like instant teleportation! We can so use this on information

gathering mission! Send a clone in, taake a super secret scroll and put

it into the inventory and boom! The main guy has it!"

"We know," another clone rolled his eyes, "we all thought off the same

idea."

I smirked, "great minds think alike!"

"Hell yeah!"

"Alright, first things first, let's see if you guys can gain EXP as well,

because if you can, that would be amazing! Gives new meaning to the

word grinding!" I smiled.

"Right," a clone stepped forward, "I'll go out and find whatever

pokemon is spawning in this forest and get rid of it. See you all in a few

minutes," and with that he took off.

I turned to the clones, all looking at each other, "so..." I began, "how

are we going to handle our love life?"

"Isn't it obvious?" a clone shrugged, "we go for the chick with the

biggest tits. So far, that's Samui."

"Man, we really have a boob fetish huh?" another clone sighed.

Another nodded, "yup...hey, do you think we should try and see if

Hinata-"

"-Hell no! You know she and Naruto ends up together!" I eylled out.

"But Sakura and Naruto are closer in this timeline, what could be the

harm," another huffed.

"Yeah, c'mon, we all know you're thinking about it!" another clone

called out, "you've seen how massive her chest gets!"

"And you know the massive crush she has on Naruto," another clone

argued, "as if we could ever make her forget him. Please, she would

sooner die for him than be with anyone else."

I sighed, "why aren't there any chicks with a massive rack in this

village?!"

"Well there is Anko," one clone suggested.

"Too crazy," another argued.

"We like crazy," one smirked.

"Plus she has a snake fetish...you all know what that means right?" We

all shuddered, we hated snakes.

"Well there's always Tsunade," one clone shrugged.

"Except she's an old hag and her breast are probably sagging by now,"

a clone argued back.

"What about Mei? The Mizukage?"

"Future Mizukage," I corrected, "plus she's like 30. But she does have

an amazing rack...and has red hair...and blue eyes….damn it! Why are

all the hot chicks older than us?!"

"I'm back," the clone from before landed before us and looked around,

"what are you guys talking about?"

"Boobs," a clone sighed.

"Oh...right. Anyway, I looked around, this level is filled with Pikachu and

Raichu for starters. I defeated five pikachu's using wind juts and gained

their fur as loot items and a sac that stores 5 CP of lightning chakra,

but only half the EXP that was listed under each pokemon."

I sighed, "alright...that isn't so bad. So you get only half, but since there

are ten of you that means I can get EXP worth five people, not half

bad. Alright here's the plan," I took out all my pokemon and released

them.

Flamer, Blaze, Cuter, Basher and King came out and looked down in

surprise seeing eleven versions of me. I smiled, "alright, here's the

plan, five pokemon, ten clones. This is the main base, I'll stay here

while two clones and basher one pokemon move out and fighting off

this dungeon's pokemon. Any clone get's dispelled or runs out of time,

I'll create another and send over immediately. Then when the boss

arrives we'll all work together to defeat it. Any questions."

The clones smirked, "you know that we don't have any."

I smirked back, "great, move out!" And with that my grinding session

began.

Chapter 135: Chunin Finals

I had a very busy schedule for the next month of training. First I took

care of my personal side, after Naruto gained his new team, which was

surprisingly the same team seven with Sasuke and Sakura. Guess the

Hokage really wanted Naruto to be in that team regardless of the fact

that Kiba was now technically the deadlast.

I helped NAruto train for a while before he started going on missions. I

had to listen to him complain a lot, but it was a nice dinner

conversation.

Then came my editor and his whole drama of trying to publish a

children's story, he didn't like it, but I kept having to force it on him,

convincing him it was a good idea. Soon it was announced that Stan

Lee was creating a new line of story books for kids and everyone was

excited.

And then after that all was finally taken care off, I could move onto the

most important part, my training.

I used ten clones to farm up EXP and loot items from the dungeons.

From the level 7 dungeon I gained a few electric proof fur items that I

fashioned into a new leather armour for myself. The boss of the

dungeon was a Primeape, which was honestly a pain to fight, but I

managed to win.

Then I unlocked the level 8 dungeon and in there were Machamp,

Machoke and Dugtrio as the spawns and a Nidoking as the boss. King

had a nice time beating the shit out of him.

I did however gain a very particular item drop from the dungeon;

Power belt, B class

The eare of this belt gains +5 STR.

It came from a Machoke, and it was totally worth the bonus stats I

gained. And along with that I also gained a few vials of steroid, which

I'm never going to use and a very nice poisoned horn from the boss

Nidoking.

Overall my pokemon leveled up amazingly;

1. Flamer, Arcanine

Lv- 42

REP- 91

2. Blaze, Growlithe,

Lv- 39

REP- 76

3. Cuter, Scyther

Lv- 41

REP- 72

4. King, Nidoking

Lv- 47

REP- 85

5. Basher, Onix

Lv- 42

REP- 62

I managed to get all of them over 40, which was my goal in the first

place. And with them, I also leveled up;

Yami, Little Professor

Level- 42 (200/49,900)

HP- 8,100/8,100 (+20)

SP- 4,025/4,025

CP- 4,750/4,750

CONTROL- 100%

FIRE- 100% WIND- 100% LIGHTNING- 100%

SCORCH- 100% SWIFT- 100%

Allegiance- Konoha Civilian

STR- 50 (+5)

VIT- 60

DEX- 60

INT- 40 (+2)

CHA- 80

CC- 150

LUC- 27 (+5)

Points- 0

And the moment I leveled up my control for Swift release to 100, I

gained the option for more releases:

Ping!

Conditions have been meet: Fire 100% control, Lightning 100%

control. Would you like to unlock a keki genkai!

FIRE + LIGHTNING = PLASMA

Conditions have been meet: Fire 100% control, Lightning 100%

control, Wind 100%. Would you like to unlock a kekkei tota!

FIRE + LIGHTNING + WIND = POWER

Or unlock another element?

Earth

Water

This time, I selected Power release, for one very simple reason, I

finally figured how to make my own jutsu style. The book the Hokage

gave me was really useful. Using that I able to create an arsenal of

scorch based jutsus, and now that I gained a new affinity, I could work

on that as well

I also leveled up a few skills, like my medical knowledge and medical

ninjutsu;

Medical knowledge, Lv- 12 (73%)

Your knowledge about the human body.

Chance of success- 44%

Medical ninjutsu, Lv- 8 (2%)

Your ability to heal wounds using chakra.

Success rate- 20% + chance of success from medical knowledge

Limit- C rank Poisons, bleeding, C rank level injuries.

And I also focused on searching for power ups throughout the village,

intent on finally getting all 30 golden leaves hidden around the village.

My first stop was the Hokage monument. Honestly, I should have

figured this out a long time ago. Four giant heads, obviously there was

a high probability of finding a golden leaf on each one.

I found a golden leaf on the first Hokage's head band, one on the

second mouth, another behind the Third's right ear and one on top of

the Fourth's head.

The first gave me a new headband, bigger than my old one with a sta

bonus;

Konoha headband, A rank item

Shows that you a loyal shinobi of the leaf

+40 REP

I think it must have belonged to the First Hokage himself, so obviously I

wore it. I have to admit, a black headband is much cooler than normal.

From the second hokage I got a +10 skill scroll! I first tried to use it on

my medical ninjutsu, but I fould that I can't level it up higher than

whatever level my medical knowledge is, which makes sense

considering they're both interrelated.

So I used it to level up my chakra enhanced strength instead;

Chakra enhanced strength, Lv- 15 (0%)

Channel chakra into different parts of your body and unleash it

with pinpoint accuracy to cause a large amount of damage.

CP cost- 80 per minute

DMG: 15 X STR

From the Third I got a perk, which was amazing!

Fire breather- +20% more damage when using jutsus which has

fire chakra

Hell yeah! Sarutobi for the win! This included my scorch release as that

used fire chakra as well. So double bonus so me!

And then finally came the Fourth's head, which probably gave me the

greatest prize of all;

Konoha battle cloak, A rank item

A battle cloak worn by shinobi of great repute, whose skills

outweigh their stature

Durability- 300/300

+10 REP for all who see you wearing this cloak

It was long, reaching my knees with arms cut short till my elbow. It was

coloured black with red flames licking the bottom. And on the back

were the words 'Yami', written in kanji. When I wore it it felt like a

second skin, perfect in everyway.

Chapter 136

I tried it one once at home and looked at the reflection. My hair was

longer, reached down till my shoulders and was spiky. With this on I

looked like an Uchiha version of the Fourth, even my facial structure

was similarly shaped, honestly, it felt a little odd seeing myself look like

a mini version of Naruto's dad.

And the more I looked at it, the more I realised just how much of myself

I modeled after that man. He was my favorite character in this entire

story, no questions asked. Even Naruto came off as a little annoying at

times, but Minato? He was my hero.

He lived the life of a hero, a true hero. His skills were amazing and

more than that he was a great Hokage, probably the best that would

ever live...in my opinion.

And so yeah, I liked him, a lot. And it would seem the game was

pushing me into the position where I could revive the legacy of the

Flash into Konoha, become it's protector...like he was.

So I decided, if I was going to go this, I might as well go all out. So for

the last week of my month in training I began a special kind of jutsu

practise. The kind that involved water balloons, rubber balls and air

balloons.

The day of departure:

I arrived late for the day of departure. I ran to the gates as fast as I

could and found Zumo, China and Gai waiting for me.

I dropped down before them, "sorry I'm late! I was just finishing up

some business."

"Yosh! It's fine!" Gai cheered.

"Yami...where did you get that cloak?" China asked as she and Zumo

approached.

"I got it made," I smiled as they looked at my new uniform. I had the

black cloak over my normal leather uniform. I had my hood and face

mask up as well, basically I had my entire body covered.

"Looks cool!" Zumo said with a smile. He also got a makeover, now

wearing a red full sleeves top and full black pants with sandals. His

staff was battered, it looked like it was highly used. Even Zumo's level

had jumped to 37.

I whistled, "damn Zumo, you've gotten powerful. What type of training

did you do?"

The Sarutobi winked, "the secret kind. Now come on! We're burning

daylight over here!"

I nodded as we all turned to Gai, who was acting as the jonin in charge

for this mission. Asuma just go assigned his new team so he couldn't

make it, and since Ko still couldn't come into Kumo territory he was out

as well. Luckly Gai offered to help, and after getting Ko to take his

place for a few days, we were all ready to set out.

It took us three days this time to reach Kumo, China had gotten a lot

faster. We went through the same process as before, arriving in the

Raikage's office to register, only this time, we weren't alone.

As we walked into the office I saw a Kumo team before me, specifically,

Samui's team, with B as it's sensei.

"Heya B! How's it been?!" I cheered out.

B turned around and smiled, "Ya Dark! It's been a while! You're looking

hella fly!"

I winced, "need to work on that beat B. It's starting to sound mellow

and weak."

"Would you stop encouraging him?!" Kaur cried out, "it's bad enough

we have to deal with it, but now you too?! Gah?! Why doesn't anyone

understand our plight?"

Omoi snickered while Samui just rolled her eyes. Immediately my eyes

land on the blonde bombshell. I walked up to her and winked, "haven't

forgotten our deal have you?"

She looked down, damn I hate being short, "I have not. You have my

chakra ore?"

I nodded, "yup. I'm a man of my word. Hey tell me, do you like ramen?

Because I know this great ramen place in Konoha, we can go there for

some."

Samui raised an eyebrow, "I don't think you're overconfidence is

warranted. You will lose our match, that I can guarantee."

I shrugged, "we'll see about that beautiful," I winked as I moved aside,

letting them walk away.

Ping!

Damn, I'm getting better, but not fast enough!

"Yami! You shouldn't flirt with your opponent's!" China cried out.

I sighed, "yeah, but she's so hot China! I can't help it!" I looked over to

see a small smirk of a smile form on Samui's mouth as she and her

team left the building.

"Argh! You're impossible!" China cried out as we registered Zumo and

myself into the final round. We were escorted into a hotel for the night

and the next day I was up bright and early.

Our KUBO guide took out to the stadium where the final stage of the

exam was to be held. It was outside the city, in another valley, this one

was towards the East and the stadium was built into a large flat top

mountain with the sindice carved out.

It was an amazing sight to behold, truly it was. At the entrance Gai and

China had to leave us to find seats in the spectator section while Zumo

and I were taken out back through the contestant entrance.

We walked into a private booth that overlooked the area with a set of

stairs on either side going down to the pit. There weren't any chairs or

seating arrangements, we had to stand, which wasn't that bad.

Chapter 137

We entered and found Samui, Kuro and E inside already, the Kumo

ninjas off in one corner while Kuro leaned up against a wall with a book

open before her.

"Well isn't this fun," I called out, alerting them to my presence.

Samui looked over for a moment before turning back to E. Kurotsuchi

on the other hand looked up from her book and smiled, "well, aren't

you looking stylish. You know a different costume won't make any

difference right?"

I smiled, "thanks Kuro, you look hot too," I looked up at her level, 45,

"and I see you grew stronger, impressive. Mid chunin right?"

She rolled her pink eyes, "right," I approached her, with Zumo following

behind me, "so any new tricks up your sleeve?"

I smirked, "one or two. It's going to be fun fighting you."

"How are you so sure you're the one going to be fighting her in the

finals?" Zumo raised an eyebrow, "it could be me you know."

I smirked, "I know. But that doesn't mean I shouldn't plan ahead."

"Hey! What makes you both think she'll beat me?!" E asked grinding

his teeth. Zumo, Kurotsuchi and I looked at each other before breaking

out into laughter. "Hey! Stop laughing!" E growled, prompting us to

laugh harder.

He was about to say something else when Samui stopped him by

putting her hand on his shoulder, "stop, they're just riling you up. Ignore

them."

"Awh, Samui! You're no fun!" I snickered.

"Besides, hood boy won't make it past the first round with me," she

added.

I smiled, "oh please Samui, if it's you, I can go many rounds...many,

many rounds," I sent her a wink.

"Ack! You're such a perv Yami," Zumo said faking a gag.

"Hey! I'm not a perv! Just an admirer of beautiful things!" I argued back.

"You're a perv," Kurotsuchi said with a snort, "there's no argument on

that."

"You're just jealous because Samui's hotter than you," I huffed.

Kurotsuchi rolled her eyes, "oh please, as if."

"Admit it, you're just pissed off because I asked Samui out on a date

and not you," I winked at her, "it's fine, if you want after this we can

hang out too."

"In your wildest dreams tree hugger," Kurotsuchi snorted.

"You're such a horn dog," Zumo grumbled face palming himself.

"You say that like it's a bad thing," I smirked.

Zumo and I talked for a while, letting Kurotsuchi read in peace. We

spoke about what we did with our month apart, avoiding things like

training and the like. Ten minutes later Sidra came, only he didn't greet

any of us, choosing instead to stand alone in one corner of the room.

Samui and E ignored him, but Zumo was curious at his behaviour.

"Geez, what's his problem," Zumo said looking at the sound nin.

"He feels….different," Kurotsuchi spoke up.

I gulped, "y-you have no idea." The reason for my stutter was simple, it

was because of the name over Sidra's head, only it wasn't Sidra.

Orochimaru, Snake Sanin

Lv- 91

REP- -50

Fuck. Fuck! FUCK! What was he doing here?! Why was he in

disguise?! Why?! What is going on?! Oh no...Zumo''s going to fight him

in the first round! I have to do something!

I ran out of the room, "hey Yami! Where are you going?!" Zumo called

out behind him.

"I-I have to talk to the Hokage!" I told him, running to the door, only for

a Kumo nin to block the way.

"You aren't allowed to leave," he grumbled out, "no exceptions."

"P-please, I just need to talk to my kage for a second!" I told him.

"No, get back in there," he pointed.

I growled as I walked back inside before looking out into the area,

might as well go the long way around. I made a shadow clone, much to

everyone's surprise. I used only 100 CP to make him, so not much of a

stretch on my reserve.

He nodded at me and jumped out before running along the outer walls

of the area, making his way to the Kage box.

I sighed as I walked back to the others who looked surprised by what

just happened. Zumo blinked, "dude, since when can clones do that?!"

I sighed, "it's...it's a long story Zumo. Trust me."

"Why did you need to talk to your kage so badly?" Saui asked.

I blinked, "ah...sorry, village secret," I noticed Sidra-I mean

Orochimaru-perk up at that. He looked interested but said nothing.

And then the clone dispelled and I gained it's memories.

Clone's memories:

I ran till the kage box which was filled with royalty and of course, the

Kages from three villages. So of course it was filled with guard.

I didn't even get halfway there when I was stopped by KUBO guards,

"halt! Go back to your waiting room contestant Yami. You aren't allowed

to be here."

"I have a major matter to speak to my Hokage about, so sorry about

this," I charged at them and managed to slip past them with my

superior speed, entering the box with them following behind.

"Yami?" the Hokage called out from his seat, turning around to see me,

"what are you doing here?"

"Yeah kid, aren't you supposed to be in your little box?" the Raikage, A,

asked.

A, Raikage

Lv- 87

REP- -20

I bowed, "lord Hokage, I need to speak with you, it's urgent."

The man nodded and turned to the KUBO behind me, "stand down, he

is a ninja of my village, he has the right to speak to me whenever he

wishes."

The KUBO looked unsure, they didn't move until A called out, "it's fine.

Let them be."

"Thank you Raikage," Sarutobi smiled before approaching me and

dragging me away. When we were in one corner of the room he looked

at me with a serious face, "what's this about?"

"Orochimaru has replaced one of the contests, the sound nin Sidra," I

spoke quickly, "he's disguising himself."

Sarutobi's eyes winded, "how do you know this?"

"Sidra was in my team during the second task, I memorized his chakra.

And the one who looks like Sidra with the others...he isn't Sidra, his

chakra is Kage level and he..he smells like snakes. I know that's not a

very accurate description, but that's the feeling I'm getting."

Lie successful!

"Are you sure about this?" Hiruzen asked, sounding desperate.

I nodded, "yes, I'm sure. It's him, I know it."

The Hokage looked enrage, "that monster...Zumo...he's to fight Sidra

yes?"

I nodded, "yes."

"Then why...why is he doing this? He knows if he shows off too much

he would stand out," the man stayed silent for a moment before

speaking, "listen closely Yami, I want you to use that on Zumo and

keep an eye on him. If it looks like Orochimaru is about to kill hi or

something similar take him out of there. Do you understand?"

I nodded, "yes sir. And if I have to face Orochimaru, do I have your

permission to use that during combat?"

The Hokage sighed, "I hoped you would only use that during the last

match but...yes, if Orochimaru becomes too much to handle, I give you

permission to use that to win."

I nodded, "understood….Lord Hokage, why do you think he's here?

What do you think he wants?"

"If I know my old student he's here because something interests him."

I blinked, "something?"

"Someone," he corrected with a frown, "maybe one of the contestants

interests him and he wishes to test them."

I felt fear for my original self, ""d-did he somehow come to find out

about me and my ability?

The Hokage grew worried, "possibly….maybe. If that's the case then

you're in danger Yami...if you feel you aren't us to this, then I suggest-"

"-No," I stopped him, "I'll do it. If I just give up then...I meant what I said

lord Hokage, about being an explame for Konoha's power. How can I

be that if I run away?"

"Good luck Yami...you shall need it," he said in a soft tone.

I sighed, "yeah, Yami will need it," and with that I dispelled.

Chapter 138

Back with the original:

I cursed, I really wished my clone hasn't made that choice for me. Oh

what am I saying, I would have said the same thing!

Ping!

Quest Alert!

Survive the fight against Orochimaru!

Rewards:

+20, 000 EXP

+5 skill scroll

Failure:

Death

Do you accept?

Y/N?

I sighed and pressed yes. "What happened?" Kurotsuchi asked, "talked

to your Hokage?"

I nodded, "yeah," I looked over at Orochimaru, he looked at me, and for

a moment, we maintained eye contact. Under the disguise of Sidra, I

swear I think he smiled. Fucking bastard.

I turned to Zumo and extended my arm, "Zumo, good luck out there."

The Sarutobi looked confused, "ah...okay?" he extended his hand and

we shook, and unknown to him I created a hand seal with my left hand,

a half ram seal, that allowed me to leave a seal on the palm of Zumo's

hand. The Flying Thunder God seal.

If things got too bad, I could use it, after all Hiruzen did give me

permission to do so.

We spoke a little when finally the tournament began. Fireworks sudden

light up the sky as a jonin listed as R walked out of the Kage box and

leaped down into the middle of the area.

"Listen up people! Welcome to the start of the chunin exams! You all

excited for this?!" R cried out!

"Yeah!" the people cheered.

"I'm going to be the referee here! And your announcer!" R called out,

gaining everyone's approval.

I smiled, "okay, I hate to admit this, but you're jonin's got some style."

"Hell yeah he does!" E cheered, joining with the crowd. Everyone was

in on it, it seemed only Samui chose to remain silent.

"Are you ready?!" R cried out.

"Yeah!" the people cheered on.

"I can't hear you!" R yelled so loud the entire area's chatter was

drowned out.

"YEAH!" the people yelled.

"That's what I'm talking about!" R cried out, "today is the chunin exams!

The fight of the year! Happening in our very own village! So let's show

these foreigners how we do it in Kumo! Can I get a hell yeah?!"

"HELL YEAH!" everyone cheered, even E.

"KUMO! KUMO! KUMO! KUMO!" they began to chant, stamping their

feet causing the entire stadium to start to shake.

I blinked, "woah...you guys really like your spectacles huh?"

"Why do you think pro-wrestling's a national pastime over here?"

Kurotsuchi asked with a snort.

"Alright people listen up!" R yelled cutting off the chant, "today we are

going to see six amazing ninja fighting each other! Two of our own is in

it too! So can I get some love for them?!"

"YEAH!" people cheered loudly.

"Alright that's good!" R smirked, "here are the finalist!" he pointed at a

jumbotron that light up with the tournament brackets, displaying

everyone's names on it, "the first match is between a ninja from the

sound! And a ninja from Konoha, from the Sarutobi clan! So make

some noise! Sidra! Zumo! Get your white asses down here now!"

"Wish me luck," Zumo turned to me and smiled.

"Good luck," I smiled, Zumo was about to leap away when I stopped in

and pulled him closer, "don't give him any time to breath, hit hard, his

fast and for the love of god don't toy with him. He's incredibly

dangerous Zumo, trust me."

The Sarutobi nodded, "right, I got it," and with that he left.

Sidra came up to the balcony slowly, swaying his legs lazily, he

stopped at the edge and looked at me, "you're right little Yami, I am

dangerous," he then jumped away. I gulped, that power...it's

monstrous.

Zumo landed on the area, followed by Orochimaru. "Alright! Here are

the rules!" R cried out as he leaped back, landing on the edge of the

arena pit, "no killing if you can help it! Anything else is allowed! Oh, and

no endangering the civilians! That's a big no-no! Do you understand?!"

Zumo gave him a thumbs up while Orochimaru just nodded. They then

faced each other, Zumo taking his bo-staff out while Orochimaru didn't

even bother reaching for Sidra's musical weapon, I'm guessing he's

abandoned all pretences of acting like the genjutsu user.

"Something's wrong," Kurotsuchi with narrowed eyes, "that's not

Sidra's fighting stance. He's more...afraid. He's not that confident."

I nodded, "yeah...I know."

Kurotsuchi eyes widened, "an imposter?"

I turned to her and nodded, "yeah….that's what it looks like." I turned to

the match, I hope he's not here for me...although if Sidra mentioned

even half of what he saw me do then maybe Orochimaru did gain

interest in me, maybe that's why he's here.

"Alright! Are you both ready?!" R smirked, "begin!"

Zumo launched himself forward, swinging his bo staff and catching

Orochimaru in the face, smacking him across the air. 'Sidra' flew across

the arena, into the wall, creating a spider web like creature.

Zumo stopped and blinked, "that was easy."

"Don't stop!" I yelled out, "he's still alive!"

And like a zombie rising from the grave, 'Sidra's' hands rose from the

wall. He stepped out and cracked his neck, the snapp audible round

the stadium. He looked up, his face bandages torn apart revealing a

plan face with a busted lip. Orochimaru looked at Zumo and smiled.

He took off like a bullet. Zumo couldn't even see him come at began to

wail on him, beating Zumo into the ground over and over again. Inally

he punched her over the head, sending him flying away.

"No!" I cried out, ready to move when I saw Zumo's body suddenly

disappear in a puff of smoke, replaced by a log.

I felt him appear behind Orochimaru, going through hand seals faster

than the normal eye could follow, finally ending on the tiger seal and

taking a deep breath. He was about to pour it out on 'Sidra' when the

sound nin disappeared.

"Over here!" Sidra reappeared next to Zumo, kicking him in the gut so

hard he went flying away, the air pushed out of his body as a burst of

fire came flying out as Zumo flew backwards.

Chapter 139

The Sarutobi took control midair however, flipping head over heels and

landing on his feet, skidding to a halt. He stopped and looked up,

panting as his mouth spat out blood.

He raised his bo staff and smashed it down on the ground. Orochimaru

looked curious as he waited back, watching as Zumo twisted the metal

cap off his staff, revealing a nozzle of some kind.

"Ninja art! Scattering rain!" Zumo called out as he pointed the nozzle at

Orochimaru and threw his staff like a javelin.

The sound nin rolled his eyes and leaped away, charging at the now

unarmed Zumo. But just then Zumo smiled as he made three hand

seals and spat out a wad of fire on the ground.

Suddenly a wall of fire erupted before him. I looked down, the fire

moved towards his staff, the nozzle! It must have had some kind of oil!

And Orochimaru jumped right into it!

"Clever," came a serious voice as 'Sidra walked out of the flames, "I

almost didn't notice the oil spill out of the staff when you threw it," Sidra

clothes were burnt away revealing his bandaged body underneath, guy

looked like a freakin mummy, "but no matter," he flew through hand

seals ending with a bird symbol.

Zuko's eyes widened, he knew that jutsu, I used that jutsu. Orochimaru

belched out, "wind release: Great Breakthrough!"

Zumo leaped away just in time, running to his staff and picked it up.

Orochimaru leaped at him once again and the two began to fight.

Zumo used his staff to block Orochimaru's fists, each blow bent the

staff inwards just a little bit. Until the tenth hit, shattered it in half,

reaching forward. It was inches away from Zumo's face when he

substituted himself with another log, allowing Orochimaru's fist to

shatter that into pieces inside of his face.

I breathed a sigh of relief and watched the Sarutobi leap away, reach

into his back pocket and take out three kunai, throwing them at Sidra.

The sage disguised as a genin ducked and swerved away from it's

attack and moved forward, but just then Zumo pulled on ninja wire that

was attached to the kunai, making the weapons curved around

Orochimaru's body and catching him.

The trick was obvious, Orochimaru allowed himself to be captured. But

Zumo didn't think that. Instead he smiled as he put the wire in his

mouth and began going through the hand seals for the dragon fire

jutsu.

He finished with a tiger seal, causing the wire in his mouth to light up in

flames and burn Orochimaru alive.

"ARGH! IT BURNS! IT BURNS! Just kidding!" 'Sidra' flexed, allowing

him to break out of the wires. He then rushed forward so fast Zumo

couldn't even move. He took out his shamisen and struck a cord,

causing Zumo's eyes to suddenly gloss over.

I was impressed, but then again this was Orochimaru, the man who set

out to learn every ninjutsu in existence. Immediately Zumo became

paralyzed, unable to move.

Sidra chuckled as he took out a kunai, "it's my victory," he placed the

kunai on Zumo's neck and pressed drawing blood, "goodbye monkey

boy."

ZOOM!

"That's enough," I grabbed the kunai the moment I appeared before

them in a flash of blue.

Orochimaru blinked as he leaped away, "how did you..." he narrowed

his eyes.

"Yo! What the hell do you think you're doing?!" R called out.

I turned to him, "this match is over, clearly Sidra is the winner, he won

the moment Zumo was caught under his genjutsu. You said no killing,

I'm just keeping to your rules."

R smirked, "alright tree hugger, you make a good point! Winner! Sidra

of the sound!" The people cheered loudly, happy that a leaf ninja was

defeated. "Now get his sorry ass out of there!"

I nodded and turned ot Zumo, who slowly came out of his stupor. He

blinked, "I-I lost?"

I sighed, "dude, just be happy you were alive, go wait in the

participants lounge, it's my turn," I told him gently.

He nodded, "ri-right...thank you Yami," he looked to 'Sidra', the man

looked at us, or more specifically, me. I moved too fast, people weren't

paying attention to me to notice, everyone was looking at the

attempted murder, so they didn't know my secret. But Orochimaru...I

wouldn't put anything past him.

Zumo took off and slowly following him was 'Sidra', who kept staring at

me.

With the Kages:

A raised an eyebrow, "that's one of yours isn't it Hokage?"

Sarutobi nodded, "yes, his name is Yami."

"Oh? No last name?" the fire Daimyo sitting near the back asked.

"No," Sarutobi shook his head, "he's an orphan lord Daimyo."

"He's certainly come a long way hasn't he?" the fire lord said, "I didn't

even notice him arrive."

"Yeah, his speed is...impressive," A narrowed his eyes at Yami's form

before turning ot the old man sitting next to him, "what do you think lord

Tsuchikage?"

Sitting with the two kages was a third, the leader of the village hidden

in stone. The old man groaned, "his presence...it seems familiar….very

familiar."

The Hokage smirked, 'it should. It's the will of fire you see before you

Onoki. And the last you faced it, it came in the form of Minato...ironic to

think the next time would be in someone similar.'

With Yami:

"Alright! The first round was dope," R called out, "but now we have our

very own Samui coming up in the second round! So give her some love

people! I know you guys want too!" he laughed as people cheered

loudly, watching Samui leap down into the arena.

"We love you Samui!" people cheered.

"Marry me!" another cried out, a guy by the looks of it.

Samui walked up to me, a thirty feet distance between us. I looked

around, the people were really loud this time around.

Samui, Genin of Kumo

Lv- 39

REP- 0

HP: 7,800/7,800

"And facing our fine kouichi is this dark clothes emo looking mother

fucker! Yami from the leaf! The guy who saw it fit to interfere in his

friend's match!" R spat.

"Boo!" as loud as they were in supporting Samui, they were louder in

booing me.

Chapter 140

Samui raised an eyebrow, "nothing clever to say."

I smirked, "good luck Samui," I made the seal of confrontation, making

her curious.

"What is that?" she asked.

"It's the seal of confrontation, you do that when you fight an alley to

show that you respect them and consider them an equal," I smiled.

"You consider me an equal?" she asked.

"Well...you're here aren't you?" I smiled. I saw her REP go up to 10.

Ah, so she wants to be treated with respect, not as a piece of meat.

"When I first met you I was excited as hell to fight you. I could feel your

strength, you were the strongest Kumo genin I met, so obviously I was

curious what you could do."

"And the flirting?" Samui raised an eyebrow.

I smirked, "you're also the most beautiful kumo ninja I met, can you

blame me?"

"Are you ready?!" R asked, "begin!"

I moved first. I was in no mood for games or dragging this out. I had a

sannin to fight. I came down on her with a kunai, Samui drew her tanto

and blocked it.

I flicked my wrist and brought out a dagger swiping upwards at her. The

blonde moved back and I kicked into the air, leaping behind her.

I swung both weapons at her head, she blocked with her tanto, which

is what I expected. I let go of both weapons, ducked down and drew

two dagger out from my secret slots.

I came up quickly with twin upper cuts. Samui moved back before

swinging her tanto to strike my gut. I brought my knee up and kicked

my kunai up in the air, caught her tanto with a dagger, let go of the

dagger once the tanto's moment stopped and grabbed the flying kunai,

moving it to her neck.

Samui disappeared in a puff of smoke. I flicked the kunai at her new

locatio, twenty feet behind, I then flipped into the air, throwing five more

dagger at her.

She moved quickly, blocking each projectile with her blade, as I

suspected. The kunai she first deflected flew into the air. She blocked

four of my daggers, but when the fifth one came, the falling kunai

deflected it's tip by a centimeter, going past Samui's blade and striking

her shoulder.

-4 HP!

HP: 7,796/7,800

"Shit!" she cried out as she moved backward, holding her tanto with her

left hand, cradling her right. She immediately pulled the dagger out,

throwing it away, she looked up just in time to see my hands move into

the final tiger seal.

"Scorch release: Dragon's Breath!" I called out the jutsu's name, I

wanted people to be impressed, part of the quest. I threw out the blue

flames from my mouth. The force of the fire came straight at Samui, I

was afraid she wouldn't dodge it, but in the last moment she switched

with a random debris and escaped the fire.

"Lightning release: Thunder strike!" Samui called out, sending a blast

of lightning chakra from the tip of her sword.

"Wind release: Great Breakthrough!" the blast of wind pushed the

lighting away, thank you elemental affinity!

I charged forward, opening my inventory to finish this. Samui moved

back, her shoulder still giving her pain. She managed to make it

halfway to the arena wall when I caught up to her.

I leaped to her side, and pulled out the Uchiha Gunbai. Her eyes

winded, to her it looked like I pulled it out of thin air. I swung it like a

baseball bat, Samui made a sharp leap backwards, her ankles

snapping in the process.

But she managed to get away from the fan, but not from the gust of

wind it created.

-100 DMG

HP: 7,696/7,800

She went flying away head over heels and landed on her feet. I didn't

give her a chance to move as I moved through hand seals for B rank

fire jutsu. I landed on the tiger seal, her eyes went wide, "fire release:

Great Fire Annihilation!"

I sucked air in and let it out like a burst of air. The flames came pouring

out like a mist of water, spread out like a wave. The fire came flying

out, Samui moved back, her sprained ankle making her movement

sloppy, but she would have cleared the fire. If I didn't swing the gunbai,

feeding wind into the flames.

The gave it new life, causing the flames to increase if size and speed,

faster than Samui could keep up.

She growled as she stood her ground and went through several hand

seals, landing on dog, ah a water jutsu.

"Water Release: Water beam!" She gulped air into her lungs and

exploded a ton of water out, fighting into the fire. It must have been

some jutsu as the water kept coming and coming. The flames went

over her head, but she kept going.

Finally, after five minutes, the flames died out and Samui collapsed to

her feet, exhausted. I appeared behind her with a kunai at her neck,

"do you surrender?"

"Y-yes," she gasped out, totally exhausted. I turned upwards to R, the

entire arena was silent.

"R-right. And the winner is Yami from Konoha!" R announced,

"someone call the medics already!"

Ping!

Quest Completed!

Defeat Samui in your match!

Rewards:

A date!

+20 REP to Samui

Ping!

You have spared you enemy's life! Peace Lover perk activated! +1

stat point!

"No need," I removed the kunai and bent down, using the horse seal to

make my palm glow green, "here, let me help."

Samui's eyes widened in shock as played my healing hand over her

right shoulder, healing the wound.

"You man! What the hell are you doing?!" R asked.

I ignored him and continued healing her, smiling at Samui, "sorry I went

all out, I honestly didn't see any other choice," the wound closed, "ah,

there we go. Now for the ankle," I bent down and put my hand on her

leg.
