What is our little hero up to this time?
Taxes, yep.
He bought some paper and had made a outline for taxes, Matsuo had no idea why he was doing this. Habits truely die hard, the Uchiha blood flowed and "I'm not doing this anymore! Why the hell did I even do this!"
He threw the paper into the chimney in his gamer rage, he went out to get some fresh air 'This village pillaging business really does a toll on your sanity, at least the money's good.'
He opened the door, and walked out of his house. He looked around and saw a bunch of his projects, my personal favorites are the beer barrels and the in progress distillery.
Around his domain, there was pretty much a Xenomorph infestation on this mountain. At least it was hidden inside the mountain, it was pretty much a large ant hill.
"Right now my buget for daily expenditures are 5000 ryo, my liquid funds are about 700 million ryo, and my total wealth if I sell everything would be around 1.1 billion ryo. Excluding Xenomorphs that would be 952 million ryo. Age reversal doesn't cost too much, about 500 million per month of allel waste restored," Matsuo's penny pincher thought process came out "The best time to gain more chakra is in your teenage years, right now I'm around 8 years old, and a year costs about 100 million ryo."
"I'll go into puberty when I'm eleven, so three years. I can easily say I'm the best of my current generation, Sasuke is chained by his lack of resources, and Naruto is Naruto with his chakra control problem," Matsuo thought, a bit of nastolga in his veins "I wonder if anyone misses me?"
A laugh resounded across the mountain "No chance in hell, I made sure not to make friends. Maybe by some guy or teacher because I made Naruto actually train. I guess I can use my old identity when Naruto bridge fight is about to end, if I show dominance I should become a part of the plot." Matsuo said. "That'll happen when Naruto is 12, since I'm about the same age as him in about 4 years will the great fox make his appearance, making his holy bridge of holiness."
He looked far away, a village was seen on the land of waves. It was protected with a few ninjas, it was Gato land in the flesh. Matsuo had no idea his mountain was close to Gato land before he chose to attack a nearby village.
He found Gato had taken up residence in that village, now city in Matsuo's eyes.
Actually, Matsuo was very, very bored. He has nothing to do really, training is really slow although he had gotten to 6 points in chakra control, fuinjutsu needs it alot, and he makes bombtags as if it were a religion. As long as you have the slightest talent you can grow with hard work, that talent was at 2 btw.
A Xenomorph passed by him and he had a small thought 'Wouldn't it be nice to have a saddle? Armor would be good too, bombtag using Xenomorphs... I need it, now.'
After buying the to make bomb tags activatable by a Xenomorph with only a source, this type, as long there's chakra in you. If you tear it however you want to, it will do it's thing. On a delay of 5 seconds. Though the delay is easy to change in creation, just change a single number!
After quickly buying a few Xeno-bombs, he made a pouch for them, he had a good few skills by now. He went into leatherworking a few months ago, making leather. It took more than a month to make.
Actually Matsuo hasn't been doing much with the system recently, he's been obsessed with raiding. He's obsessed with getting a billion in liquid funds, but it seems he's finally snapped out of it with his bombs.
'What's the new main mission?' Matsuo thought
[Do you accept your reward?]
"EEEhhhhh?" Matsuo made a sound of surprise, he instantly said yes.
[+1 to all stats!]
"Hehehehe," Matsuo laughed "Hahahahahah," Getting louder and louder "Mhuahahahahahhahahhhhahahaaaaahahahahahaa" Turning into a grand laugh of insanity and regret.
Matsuo forgot about the mistakes of the past and looked forwards.
[Conquer a region and place it under Xenomorph rule, without territory a nation is but a collection of nomads.]
'Fair's fair, When I asked the system how large a region was it said depends, but it was a group of people's habitat and had close relations and the like, so it could mean a fief or something.' Matsuo thought of his great evil plan, and he came to a conclusion "Guess I'll be needing to find that reclusive island early."
Although Matsuo was hesitant, the rewards of the previous quest was great. So... He bought something; the seafarer's compass.
Named it himself, it was already explained, but... It's a single use item that points to the closest island of your specifications, though this one only lets you determine size and viability of colonization (How good it is for human life.)
He kept it in his inventory, he also took out his favorate cloak. Yep, the bloody one, which I am jealous of. Though he hasn't gained anything aditional from it through king slaying, the fear aura is doing better. It has seen better days though, with him being a good person while wearing it appearantly makes the souls who cursed it less angry. And that's bad for ol' Matsuo, remember he's still really old, mentally.
Matsuo looked at a nearby cliff face, and ran at it full force. He jumped and tried to walk up it, he face planted against the floor after falling.
Filled with rightious fury, Matsuo made a mission to walk up that wall for talent. That was to do it in the next three months, hard but not extremely hard. Well.. If you think of a half-Sasuke/Naruto kid, otherwise it's living hell.
But Matsuo had a plan, a scheme if you will. Put a foot on the wall, and just see if it sticks. When it's strong enough to hold a bit above his weight, he would walk on every wall he could to flex his superiority.
Another evil scheme was made seconds later 'What if you train on walking on a waterfall?' and then was put on hold until further notice.
This was a free time thing anyways, what he needed right now was a great ship of evil. And his Xenomorphs can't make one, and he ain't making one himself... So... It's time to get some slave- Interns, that's what I was going to say, interns.
'I need someone who hates his village,' Matsuo thought 'And also needs enough talent to use chakra, otherwise I'll need to use all that money for him to only build a ship.'
As allways, the system helped save time with one of Matsuo's worldly compasses (Patent pending). The recruiter's budget compass, finds someone with your requirements inside a 100 kilometers radius.
This isn't even close to as big as the fire nation, and he still spent more than a family fortune. It wasn't a extremely large amount for Matsuo, but... It was a lot. At least it was useable every 7 days, or he could use nature energy to fuel it.
Unlike last time Matsuo took some time to think of a design, a rustic and used compass, with magic runes indented crudely, with lots of straight lines. The cool usage effect thought up was toggleable, so he would use it infront of others.
'Just once,' Matsuo thought 'just once, I spent 5 minutes thinking up the effect, I need to see it.' Matsuo has a lack of entertainment, and everything actually cool only happens in the great Madara wars.
It was going to be a spectical 'Let's go to the south of the country, then do it at night, that has the cooler of the two effects,' Matsuo thought about his great scheme of evil 'I'll do it on a mountain with my own greek temple like ritual altar with a large opening to the stars, and since the ozone layer isn't effected by co2 the night sky is filled with little lights.'
Matsuo took 50 runner warriors with him and one preatorian, Ogon had not yet become queen. And he wasn't planning on making a nest or obtaining more Xeno's, so he didn't need drones. He needed an intimidating horde, not an effective army.
After 6 hours of journey Matsuo found his great region of search for a great mountain, the highest mountain was easy to find. Then to flatten a 100m across circle and anything extra that's left over, at last make the temple with marble.
Matsuo took out a jade, and pondered 'To abuse or not? Risk and reward, or none of both.' Matsuo's philosophical side came out 'What is life without risk!'
The jade thingy trilled a bit, after a minute "Hello, what can I do for you?" Orochimaru's voice resounded out, Matsuo smilled with the convince of magic phones costing more than 400 million ryo for a pair. A tear too, but it was worth it.
"Are you still in the Akatsuki?" Matsuo asked, he had reccomended not fighting Itachi, because that's dumb "Yesss, what do you need?" Orochimaru said in his sleasy way of evil speaking."
Matsuo knew what he needed "First, tell me about the new members. Second, I have a spectacal that some may want to interupt. Well... I want them to interupt and watch, help me get some more natural protection from the akatsuki. Third, get some goons to spread the word about a great prophecy about something that will shake the world happening on inazuma mountain's ancient temple in the land of waves."
Orochimaru on the otherside coughed a bit, and Matsuo sighed, putting 20 mill into the jade "There's a new recruit called Rio Tanaka, he failed the coke test. The other two are easy, it'll all finish in a week, okay?"
Matsuo smiled and said "Yes but it has to be at night today next week, okay?" After getting affirmation, Matsuo thought and put another mill in "Bribe Kazaku for me too, it won't be hard, will it?" Another yes and Matsuo turned off the jade.
Matsuo looked up and saw his construction site, runners were pulling marble and molding them with a little acid and clawing "Get a move on people, seven days at the latest!" Matsuo said after putting on his hard hat, safety first.
Matsuo ran away to another peak, now that people would journey to that place he would make home base a bit further away.
After 10 minutes of running he looked around, nodded, and started to think 'If I use the tiger seal first then dragon, then serpent, then bird, then rat, then tiger, then a new seal that a I just made.' His new seal, literaly just a middle finger duo.
Matsuo yelled with his rightious indignation, infront of a big block of marble "Earth style; marble carving justu!" In one corner a cubic piece broke off with a bang, nearly hitting the celebrating Matsuo in the head. Matsuo nodded to himself 'Let's exchange that second tiger seal with a serpent seal. And adding to the end an end seal is good too.' The end seal being a clap but as a hand seal.
Matsuo laughed maniacly after another test successfull, this time the block turning into dust, normal dust. Not ultra-fine mars dust which causes cancer with inhalation, Matsuo also just got the idea of making that type of dust for kombat.
"I shall become the greatest statue-er ever seen in this world!" Matsuo shouted with his zealot power 'I wonder if artistic value increases the price.'
