So with no other choice I ran around, intent to use the monkey bars in the playground out back as a way over the walls.
I reached thee quickly enough, and since no one was yelling at me I'm assuming nobody saw me as well. I grabbed onto the bars to pull myself up, when suddenly;
Ping!
Congratulations! You have found a legendary spot: Konoha orphanage! Locations found in Konoha: 5/30 Select your reward!
+100 EXP +3 stat points Random item drop +5 kunai pouch I blinked, 'seriously?' I removed my hand and looked around finding a golden leaf embedded on the other side of the bar. Honestly, why did I never think of this before? Maybe because I never actually came to the playground before. Damn.
Okay, down to business. Hm, okay, EXp was shit, I'm guessing I was supposed to have found this a long time ago, maybe even when I first came here. Okay, so no exp, no points, that left the random drop and the +5 kunai pouch.
If I was weaker, that is before I went into my first dungeon, then I would need the kunai. But now I can just buy all the kunais I want. So that just left the random item drop. Yipee!
Ping!
You have obtained: 5,000R! Okay, not something mind blowing, but hey, I can use this money to buy myself some kunai so that's nice.
I took the money and put it away before climbing onto the monkey bars and leaning over the wall, landing on the other side and running to Naruto's place.
It took me awhile to get there, but I did reach before it was too late. I opened the door and called out, "yo! I'm home!"
"Yami! About time you bastard! We've been waiting for you!" Naruto called out from inside.
"We?" I asked curiously as I walked in to find Naruto sitting with Baroma, the old publisher man, "Oh," I said with a smile, "hey old man. Did you finish reading it?"
The man stood up, "yes, I did," he took out the book and handed it over to me. "Yami! You bastard! Why didn't you tell me you were writing your own book!" Naruto cried out.
I shrugged, "I wanted to see if people would actually like it. Plus it's not like you're an avid reader," I took the book back and looked at him raising an eyebrow, "and? What did you think?"
The man narrowed his eyes, "I think you have a very childish and idealistic way of thinking."
Naruto blinked, "what's idealistic?"
"Just another word people use for when you have a dream which other people think is impossible," I told him looking at the man.
"A hero that doesn't kill?" the man snorted, "you do know the world we live in yes? You yourself are training to be a ninja."
I nodded, "yeah...but life still has value. And like you said, in this world of ninjas, eventually people will forget that value. That's why they need stories like this. Sure, the hero is unrealistic, but he exactly the kind of hero people need to look up to. To know that justice needn't come from...killing."
The man sighed, "you're young, you don't understand the world yet. But...that doesn't change the fact that it's a good book." I grinned as he continued, "I'm very much interested in publishing this book, and any other sequels you have in mind….you do have something in mind yes? You can't just leave this as it is."
I nodded, "I do have an idea. But...it's kind of unique."
The man sighed, "fine, whatever," he walked away to the door, "I'll bring the official contract over tomorrow night. Be ready to sign it."
"I'm going to have to read it first." The man nodded, "as you wish. Good night Yami," he looked over my shoulder at Naruto, his eyes softening, "Naruto."
The door shut behind him and I turned to Naruto, "what did you say to him?"
Naruto blinked, "what do you mean?"
"In the morning he hated your guts, but now, he kind of seems….nice?"
Naruto shrugged, "I don't know what you mean. He came by an hour ago, we just sat here and waited for you."
I groaned, this brat. If I was to guess he probably has a +20 REP bonus to everyone he talks too for more than ten minutes. No wonder he turns enemies into allies like it was nothing.
We had dinner, which I cooked;
Ping!
Your skill has leveled up! Cooking, Lv- 3 (3%) You can cook and make something to eat. It may not be edible.
Bonus- 6% to all food items you make Not bad, maybe I can actually use this for something. Anyway, after that Naruto went to bed, I waited until I heard him snore before climbing out of bed and sat on the table, which Naruto told me I could use for whatever I want. I hadn't really set it up for anything, but...I thinking somewhere along the mad genius range.
First thing's first. I took out the skill scroll and opened it up;
Ping!
You have obtained a skill scroll! Would you like to learn it? Y/N? I quickly selected yes and watched as the scroll disappeared giving me the knowledge of the jutsu;
Spiral Flame jutsu, B rank The user takes in a giant gulp of air before spewing it out as a spiraling cloak of flames that lunges forward.
CP cost- 150 CP (Additional CP can be added) DMG- 600 (+25 DMG for ever 50 CP) Okay...so basically I can never use this jutsu. Well, at least I level up some more. Damnit! I so wanted to use this fucking thing! Sigh, such is life.
Still I have to say, it does some amazing damage. Totally worth the CP. This makes it two fire affinity jutsu I have, hm, I wonder, do I have a fire efinity? Would make sense...hm, maybe I should buy some chakra paper tomorrow.
