Chapter 8: One Month Later

On the front lines.

-Lord Orochimaru, you have a letter from Danzo-sama.

-Sh-s-s. Give it to me.

In Orochimaru's mind.

Hmm. I wonder what he wants from me? Has he finally agreed to my plan?

Opening the letter, Orochimaru saw that he wants him to take an apprentice.

Really? There's a war going on right now and he asks me to take some kid as an apprentice afterwards. But wait. After reading the letter more closely, Orochimaru was very interested in this child. Two years old, has awakened his own chakra, trains himself, and stands out with his mind. And he looks like me. Remembering his childhood, Orochimaru fell out of the world for a few moments. After pondering Danzo's offer for a while longer, he sent a reply that he would only agree on the condition that Danzo build him a secret laboratory.

Akuma began to get caught up in the monotonous life . Body training from morning till night, Chakra and Control training at night.But at least once a week Uchiha Obito came again to challenge him. He didn't make any money. But he became a great dummy for punching training.

A month later, on the training ground.

-You again, Obito?

-Yes, Akuma, I'll win this time for sure!

Akuma's thoughts.

"As unfortunate as it is to learn, the Uchiha are truly talented. Obito has also risen very high during this time, but still not enough for me." thought Akuma, playfully dodging Uchiha Obito's punches.

"But that's it. It's time to call it a day," I thought. I took a swift, unexpected punch to the face. Falling to the ground I repeated the beating. But every week he comes here, healing his wounds and getting a little stronger, hoping to win me over.

But I'm better off, he's a great punching bag. Finished with the primitive beating of Uchiha, I went to my friend's training ground (I found 1 more abandoned training ground this month). Danzo-sama's opinion of me was getting better and better. The dog started to bring not only shurikens, but also started to treat me to Nourishing Food. You can't eat much at the orphanage, and my body needs substances to grow. It's time for a month's worth of analysis.

"Status"-I said thoughtfully.

Name: Yakushi Akuma

Gender:Male

Age: 2 years

Strength: 1.9

Dexterity:1.7

Intelligence:29

Wisdom:22

Chakra:35

Chakra Control:7%

Passive skills

"Shurikenjutsu LVL2 47/100"

"Taijutsu Fundamentals LVL1 70/100"

Resistance:

10% to mind techniques.

After upgrading his "Shurikenjutsu" skill, he increased his hit chance by 5%. That is, in total, he adds 15%. A definite plus is the increase in Intelligence and Wisdom. After I finished the last book brought by Nono. Hoyat's Taijutsu skill is not pumped up. Practicing my punches makes them more skillful, so I got a lot stronger during that time. Plus sparring with Obito brings me some fighting experience.

At this point...

-Hey, Akuma! -Dog called out to me.

-Yes, Mr. Dog (that's what he said to call him)

-I've got great news for you.

-What is it? -I said with great happiness in my eyes

-Danzo-sama wants to see you.

-Really!?

-Yes, let's go.

On the way there I asked him about Danzo-sama. He told me about his achievements, his victories, his strength, his good character. In short, he does the standard brainwashing.

At Root's underground base.

Danzo's thoughts.

Hmm. If he agrees, there's no point in doing the brainwashing procedure. It represents a huge chance. But there is still a chance that he will refuse to join the Root in the future. So you have to be prepared for anything.

About 50-100 meters to Root's base.

-Akuma, here I have to put you to sleep while you are not a member of our organization. you must not see where it is located.

Having said that, the dog delivered a lightning strike to my carotid artery.

And then my eyes went black....
