the next day
I woke up and was about to stand up when I suddenly realised that I was not alone, there was a woman who looks to be in her 20's tightly hugging me.
"Izuna-kun, you are awake. " the woman smiles.
my heart was warm, full of sensations that I didn't know even existed.
"Yes grandma mito. " I replied to her with a smile, a genuine smile.
"Get yourself a bath and come to the dinning room after that. I will assign a servant to you so that you don't get lost. " The woman replies.
"Yes! " I woke up and leave the room and the first thing I saw after opening the room was tsunade practicing in the courtyard in a judo outfit.
She looks at me cheerfully " Izuna-chan, you are awake! why did grandma mito sleep
with you last night? "
I didn't know how to answer her so I asked
"What are you doing this early in the morning? " trying to diverge the topic.
"Training, of course you can't become a great ninja without training. Don't you know it before? " She cheekily answers.
"Yeah I know it too. " oh boy was I pissed.
"Izuna-chan, are you going to stay here from now on? " tsunade asked.
"Yeah, you can say so. " I replied casually.
"Heh, doesn't that means that you will be leaching off from us izuna-chan! " tsunade replied in an overly exasperated tone.
'Oh boy ,do I have news for you! I have been doing that ever since I was 1 yrs old!! ' I pitied her. *ignorance can be bliss*
"No I won't. " I playfully snapped at her.
"hehehe" tsunade laughs at my reaction.
She wipes a tear of her eyes and started talking. " Izuna-chan, you look different from before. " tsunade applies.
" In what sense? " I asked somewhat puzzled.
"It's hard to describe, hmmmmm.. how should I say it? one day ago when we were talking, you seemed liked you weren't really present and your mind was on somthing else. like you were etheral...? " she answers somewhat confused.
"Etheral..? ummm, that's an interesting choice of words. " I mocked her or rather teased her.
"Shut up you brat! how dare you tease someone older than you! " she snaps at me with a beautiful red blush on her face.
"Hehehe" I laughed at her not because of her angry reply but because of the red blush on her face which was so obvious due to her fair skin.
"Enough! follow me, I will take you to the bathroom. " she angrily orders.
I nodded while various thoughts were roaming through my mind. I have changed huh, I didn't notice it myself. All this change happened to me because of the previous night talk. *sigh * talk no jutsu sure is powerful. It works even against a traverser like me and grandma Mito sure was good at it.
No wonder naruto was so proficient at it. I guess it's in the Uzumaki's blood.
but...
this change isn't so bad. '
I followed tsunade and soon came to a wooden bathroom with a bath house next to it. Man, the senju's sure are loaded. I entered the bathroom as per tsunade's instruction and started brushing my teeth with a toothbrush and toothpaste specially prepared for me.
"After brushing your teeth go and take a bath.
You don't need my help in that too right? " tsunade teases me and how was she even going to compete with a shameless person in that expect?
"Hmmm, pervert, trash, want to peek at a little kid while bathing. " I was about to add paedophile but I guess I will spare her.
"You-" for a moment she was in a dazed and then her entire face turned red and then shouted " Why would be I be interested in peeking during a little kid's bath! " She released smoke for her head as she was beaten again and again by a little brat.
"Oh! sorry for the misunderstanding. " I smile cheekily at her and started taking off my clothes for the bath. "Are you gonna go or prove my suspicions correct? "
"Hmph! " tsunade stomped her foot in frustration and went away.
I quickly clean myself up and dip into the hot bath.
" I don't feel anything.....
I killed a living person few days ago but still I feel..... nothing . Has the lives of other become meaningless in my eyes? No, if I hadn't kill him then I would have been the one dead right now. The fight, the anbu and the chunin were really powerful. Killing them would have been impossible if the circumstances weren't in my favours. The chunin was underestimating me and walk straight into my trap and as for the anbu, the first time we exchange moves, the anbu was heavily nerfed because he was maintaining the barrier and the second he die was mostly because he didn't have much information about me and was heavily injured by that explosion.... During the chunin's fight I ran my sparkle fingers against him and somehow the information in his head was transmitted into me like using a usb cable. I didn't know at that time how much chakra should be used in the sparkle finger to kill a human so I used a lot of chakra in it (compared to my massage sessions) which I run through the chunin's hippocampus by accident and somehow it caused a feedback loop between his and my....brain? I hope it makes sense but I can't be sure. Looks like I need to find some subjects who are ready to be sacrificed in the name of science! '
I walked out of the bath and was ready to move out when my eyes met a little girl who was timidly waiting outside the door.
" who are you pipsqueak? ' I asked her.
"I am young master's personal maid from now on, pls treat me well! " the girl hastily bowed.
I took a close look at the girl. ' Hmmmm, long and Lustrous light grey hair that anybody would want to touch and mess it up specially with her long hair reaching her back divided by that bang in the middle of her forehead.
Her crystal like pinkish red eyes and that quite round face with a snow White skin tone. '
I looked at her face very closely.
'who is this beauty? the Canon never mentioned anything about her. '
"umm, ah young master , the young lady has called for you. " the girl's face started to turn red and smoke started coming of her head and replied in a lovely voice.
' so she got a personality similar to that of hinata's hah, '
"Okay, lead the way. " I ordered her and why is she refering me as young master ? have I already acquired such status? well it's good for me that I don't have to live in the forest as an illegal occupant.
Along the way the maid would turn her face to peek at me and abruptly turns her head way with a blush and avoid eye-contact. I was started to get annoyed. "If you have something to say then say it" I said to her in an angry manner. She immediately bowed her head and apologize timidly " I-I am sorry young master. " the girl replied with some tears in her eyes. The tear in her pink eyes were mesmerizing and filled one's heart with pity but I was unfazed. " why are you looking at me for? " I toned up my voice and asked her .
"y-young master, I just... " tears were falling from her beautiful face. I was extremely annoyed and I completely ignored her and started moving on my own. But the little girl kept her head down and bowed without moving even a little bit while tear fell down her beautiful cheeks.
at that time I ignored her and didn't even asked for her name. I didn't even feel an ounce of pity for her but....
now that I remembered it after such a long time. My tears couldn't help but fall and my heart filled with regrets. If I had listened to what she was saying at that time than maybe the future would have turned out different.
