"Ugh..."
I opened my eyes to scrunch it as light rays hit 'em. Yawning loudly, I then got up groggily.
It's been a week since the Kyuubi attack and everything's still a mess, the Yondaime's alive but is monitored by the Slug Sannin, Tsunade. I knew of her return days ago because mother usually gossips with aunt Mikoto.
I yawned again and got up as I heard many thuds on the floor towards me.
"Musaaaa!"
The little ball of energy barged in my door, knocking everything out with a cheerful aura, "Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!"
I rose a brow as little Hina jumped towards my bed, only to hit the cushioned mattress, making me chuckle silently, "I'm up..."
'How'd she not notice me?'
"Oh!" She looked towards where my voice was and laughed cheerfully, "Good morning!"
'Awwww....' This little... "Good morning, pipsqueak..."
Little Hina then proceeded to get up in the bed and raised her arms, "He~he~!"
'Her smile's so contagious...' I sighed and chuckle again, and carried her out of my room, "Good morning mom..."
It seems I got early as I saw my mother, still readying breakfast, "Were you able to gossip with aunt Mikoto lately? How's the Yondaime?"
I approached her and placed little Hina on top of the table to play.
*BONK!*
"What gossip!?" Mother grunted and immediately went back to cooking as we could hear the frying loudly, "But, we can only guess right now, at least we have Tsunade-sama in the village right now!"
I sighed but she was right, I could do the healing but fuck that, "You're right, what would've happened to his son if he and aunt Kushina didn't make it out alive from the attack..."
"Fortunately, that didn't happen so stop thinking about emo stuff and wash your hands for breakfast!" yelled at me but smiled.
"Yes, mom..." I replied as I thought about the situation of our family right, 'It's pretty nice to have this kind of serenity... While I still think the third Hokage's naive for denying war, I applaud him for normalizing peace...'
"Now, my mission's to find a stepdad..." I murmured as I washed my hands.
"Hm? did you say something?"
"Nothing, I was thinking about going to the academy with Itachi," I said as I sat down, "He said that the academy will open early next week because we lack a lot of shinobis because of the Kyuubi attack..."
"Oh..." Mother got Hina up and carried her to her room, "I'll take a bath with Hina, don't you dare just leave your plates!"
"Yes, mom..."
XXXXXXXXXYYYYYYYYZZZZZZZZZ
I've been having dreams lately, it's bothering me although I don't show it.
Every time I'm in the midst of the flow of my midnight fantasies, the Shinigami randomly appears. The taunting laugh that echoes to the non-existing walls of my dream.
I'm not afraid, in fact, I'd face the shinigami head-on, but I'm just bothered. I may be laid back and strong, but a God is someone I can't mess with. I have many people who I care about now.
I ain't no psychopath who'd sacrifice everyone just his own goal. (Naruto: Dream to Immortality, awesome fanfic.)
'Five Hundred souls huh...' I thought as I unsealed the tanto and gripped the handle tightly. Suddenly, a violet trace of aura manifested around it, 'It feels so violent and deadly... like I'm holding death itself...'
I sealed it again and shook my head, 'I got to be careful with this thing...'
I could only remind myself as I remembered what happened when I unsealed this.
Last week, Itachi and I sparred. After that, he went home while I stayed in the training ground.
~Flashback~
"You got lucky..." Itachi emotionlessly informed me and turned around, "I'll win next time..."
I snorted and picked my nose, "Yeah yeah, I guess beating you a hundred times is considered lucky..."
"Hn..." With that, Itachi shunshined off.
'Does he want to look cool or something?' I thought as I shook my head, 'Now what about this little guy...'
I unsealed the tanto from my body, "Now what can you do, do you have some kind of Bankai or some shit?"
As I gripped the handle, it zapped me so hard, draining my chakra so fast, "Oh shit!"
I was surprised and dropped it, "The hell!"
Before I could complain more, I felt a very sinister intent coming from the dagger, 'Interesting...'
Interesting indeed as the sinister feeling intensified more and before I could react, the whole training ground's grass and trees immediately died.
'Yow what...'
Withered.
That's the word, everything withered from the touch of the dagger.
I immediately took it, and as I touched the handle, I felt a strong connection towards it. However, it wasn't a positive one, it was a very malicious connection, 'Still, a connection's a connection...'
I sighed and gripped the handle, and when I lifted it, everything stayed the same... withered.
'Hmm... how about...'
I threw the tanto towards the farthest tree I could see, only to find it dead upon the tiniest contact.
"Woah... how dangerous..." 'I guess the only thing that's able to touch it is me...'
I suddenly got an idea, and raised my hand towards the tanto and called for it in my mind. My idea was correct, it flew towards me like how Thor's hammer flies back towards him.
"What if..."
I inserted a small amount of chakra and willed it to look like something I want... a scythe, sword, greatsword, spear, etc., 'Amazing...'
~Flashback Ends~
'I have to make a contract with the shinigami or something...'
'...'
'No... definitely not...'
Although dangerous and deadly, the tanto was amazingly powerful. I came up with lots of techniques in mind but haven't practiced yet so I won't use 'em... although I could just use my time ability and train...'
'Well, I'm not in a hurry...'
I shook my head and sealed it back to my body.
"Moooooom, I'm going out!"
"Shower first! It'd be shameful if you talk to your friends with that odor!"
*sigh*
"Yes, mom..."
