'The sound of constant downpour reminded me of where I am. Hearing the slow but heavy steps my sandals would make in the muddy soil. Amegakure no Sato, it's said the rain is due because of the constant wars the people are dragged into. As even Kami-sama can do nothing but openly weep for his people.' Jaden thinks.
'"It's not safe here." I can still hear the screams of men and the sizzling sounds of explosive tags being detonated.' Jaden thinks.
'And who could forget that smell of iron, or the bodies flung across the tree line. That girl over there lying in the dirt. Who looks no older than me, with the Konoha forehead protector missing a leg. But the real difference between us is that I can see her chest wide open as she's missing a kidney. Probably was an orphan brainwashed by Hiruzen's Will of Fire speech on the first day opening ceremony.' Jaden thinks.
"In the place where leaves fly, there will be fire burning. The flames will illuminate the village, and new leaves will sprout again…" Jaden resights, remembering the quote.
'Hiruzen probably saw a +1 Notification on top of their little heads that read "Will of Fire", clap clap sacrifice your life for me speech.' Jaden can't help but think cynically.
'Or was she just desperate for money, as orphans can only pick to be ninjas as who would hire them.' As I can't help but pity these people for being so easy to manipulate.
'Then there's that older brother that's missing an arm, with the right part of his face burnt off, probably was hit with a boil release. "Poor bastard", honestly that's just bad luck. Because I'm pretty sure that's a rare Kekkei Genkai.' Jaden can't help and pity the guys luck in his head.
"I should probably hold off on training until I find a shelter." I can't help but say by looking at the corpses of human flesh lying around.
'Because as much as I'm in a desperate need to be stronger in this deadly world, it might not be the best idea to train in an active war zone. Facing two sides of hostile enemies that block my escape routes. Not to mention training will lower the amount of chakra my body can produce if I face an emergency enemy attack.' Jaden thinks.
'Based on this it's highly likely that I'll run into a hostile Iwa shinobi patrol unit. Or a Konoha assault team aiming to push back Iwagakure. I hope it's a weak recon team for my sake. Of course if I run into Ame shinobi then I should be safe since at this time Hanzo is a kind person, who values his own citizens. ' Jaden thinks.
'And since I'm a child with no forehead protector he'd probably assume I'm one of his citizens and take pity on me. The problem is that he's most likely on the border for the land of wind and fire. Since Hanzo is facing off against Chiyo for like the thousandth time. While also pushing Konoha out of their territory. With the remaining army probably protecting the rear from Iwagakure, acting as protection for the populace.' Jaden thinks.
'My best plan is to gather supplies to make products to sell to the shinobi countries since The 2nd Great Shinobi World War is the best time to make substantial profit.' Jaden thinks.
'So, I can't train, even if I did, how strong would a person with average potential be? Let me answer that one. Not strong enough to take on any Kage or Elite Jōnin. Not to mention my body's limitations given my age and having no teacher to guide and protect me.' Jaden thinks.
" I'm not strong but Its impossible for me to be fodder like the rest of the other unlucky bastards in this world." 'What's that you're complaining about how hard you have it random Taki shinobi? Then why not take it up with your mother for not picking a partner who was a descendant of ninja Jesus. Even the sage of six paths had children, and all with different mothers. While his brother was on gate duty on the moon, Hagoromo was getting it in with multiple women. Then leaving saying he's a humble sage that must travel the world. More like he didn't want to raise them.' Jaden can't help but laugh at the person these people call a savior.
"Uh huh!? Sure, that's why you did it." 'Knowing how much bloodlines give a person unattainable power for 90 percent of the population. I can't help but smile, happy with the choices I made with the Angel.' Jaden thinks.
Why!? 'You might be wondering.'
"Simple" I nod shaking my head ready to teach a class.
'I joined the Onikuma clan.'
"What was that? Who are they again?" 'You might be asking.'
' The Onikuma clan was a powerful clan during the warring states period. But after the formation of the hidden villages. My clan was brought to the brink of extinction right before the first great shinobi world war.'
'You wanna take a guess as to who attacked us.'
'If you guessed Iwa then congrats that's worth +500 points.'
"So yeah. Do I need another reason to hate those Wasp Collecting "Mud Divers!?" I know that might have been a little racist."
'But let me have this one, they Sasuke'd my entire family. Before that even became a thing.'
"Oh what was I saying?"
"Oh yes!" 'What made the entirety of Iwa attack my clan was because of my clan Kekkei Genkai.'
'Along with "Hiden" techniques that were passed down for generations. The Kekkei Genkai of the Onikuma clan is the most similar to Jugo's clan.'
'It augments your strength, to the point you can easily crush rocks. And probably the human body if trained. As well as being easily able to stretch limbs. However, the technique takes an extreme amount of mental fortitude to stay in control. Due to all the bloodlust going to your head. Which might I say, is quite addictive.'
'From what I know about the story. Jugo's clan was situated by Kirigakure. Somewhere in between the land of Forest and Land of Woods on one of those Uninhabited islands. So, they could live in peace.'
'But then one day some Uchiha with a stick up his ass and was like 10 drinks in. Decided he wanted to fuck with them.'
'But who would do such a thing? I'll give you a hint.'
'His name rhymes with Dadara.'
*Ding* Ding* Ding*
'If you guessed "Madara" then damn you're getting really good at this game.'
'Long story short….'
'He Lost.'
'Got stomped out.'
'Then came back Years Later and fired a Tailed Beast Bomb at them. Out of spite. He couldn't beat a clan of Sage's, so he improvised. The Onikuma clan was located in the land of Bears. To the west of the land of Earth. In Boruto I know the clan relocates to Konoha. I don't blame them. If anything, they should have done it earlier. They could have been a major clan. '
'Like if the Inuzuka, Shimura, Mitokado, Utatane and Gekko clans could become major clans. '
"Then what could my clan do?" Jaden says.
"My clan would break them like toothpicks. So yeah, they chose the worst time to join Konoha. As the power scaling is so high that they're irrelevant. Not to mention are down to one shinobi." Jaden says.
'Currently my ancestral land is being occupied by the Hoshigakure village. Being the shinobi village with the star headband. You know the ones that worship "Kaguya's Moon Shit" Jaden says. As if it gives them power. When it's obviously toxic and killing them, like they have no idea how much alien bacteria and viruses, their bodies are intaking.' "Not to mention the parasites it contains." I shutter thinking about the gross object. Jaden says.
"Like put the Dookey Rock down and go feed your kids." I can't help but shake my head and say.
'Don't get me wrong, the Mysterious Peacock Method is cool. But not worth dying over.'
'The point is I get a discount Sage mode, that if trained properly puts me on Kage level. Before the Otsusuki clan appears.'
'Then I heard it.'
Something that made me stand up straight. My heart instinctively started to beat faster. The thumping sound of branches meeting sandals mirrored the sound of my breathing.
" I-I know this sound". Jaden says. 'It's the sound of a ninja. I quickly do what any sensible person would do.'
I hide.
'But this isn't a country known for its vegetation so the moment something doesn't look like the gray undertone this land naturally produces. It sticks out like a beacon. Not to mention this stupid double layered daimyo kimono that's WAY too big for me.'
A stern but child-like voice rang out. "Come out!"
The tension in the air is thick enough to choke me.
