Chapter 94: Chapter 92: A new rival?

 

-  Ow! (Damn it, that still hurts!)

 

I dropped the bag I was carrying.

 

I still have pains from having that spar with the other assh*le all those days ago.

 

I have no fractures whatsoever, but I can't say that I wasn't hurt.

 

My chest still kinda hurts still.

 

-Tch! (Just remembering it...makes me mad. Uchiha Sasuke...He was holding back. Not only that but he was studying me in a match and stole some of my moves even, at least until things got...jeez, how can a kid be so gifted? And Itachi is supposed to be better than he was at his age?...defeating him seems outright impossible... I don't know what to do anymore.)

 

I touch my chest, with my right hand.

 

Only to feel that it feels kinda... hot? Or is it something else?

 

Probably something else.

 

A reminder of my lack of strength...I have so many of those already...

 

- *sigh*

 

But having no other choice but to ponder my choices and lack of power, I decided to let it go and picked up the bag I had just dropped a few moments earlier.

 

To put it bluntly, I had dropped a set of tools I just bought for wood crafting.

 

It is not very expensive since wood crafting is pretty normal for our village and easy to come by.

After all this is the village hidden in the leaves...there are enough trees for anything.

 

Just that the tools I got this time are a bit more special and will serve me to craft details unto wood among other things, much better.

 

The tools I previously had were too crude for the finer details.

 

The more I kept using them for the wrong things, the more I got hurt. Even before my last fight with that jerk.

 

My beautiful hands are ruined, no gloves can fix all the scars that don't quite go away with each injury I have accumulated.

 

Not that they weren't ruined prior to this, the wires I use for shuriken jutsu did a lot more damage to my hands than I'd like to admit.

 

I've never bled so much in my previous life as I did in this life...at least I think so.

 

...I think that I am healing wrong.

 

But what do I know?

 

The only scrolls I read about medicines are ones with human anatomy in them.

 

The academy's library are full of those.

 

Turns out to be a good shinobi, you gotta know key points of human bodies and other creatures.

 

It is not very complicated but a lot to remember.

 

Makes me realize how fragile living beings are and have a new-found respect for Sakura for becoming a medic-nin and the Hyugas for dedicating their time to learning cr*p like that.

 

Though I guess they have no other choice.

 

The byakugan is quite OP.

 

If one can't hit tenketsu properly they should still be able to inflict damage on any shinobi; if they know exactly where to strike though.

 

I guess that's how it works...

 

I don't really know how the byakugan works or what it can do besides seeing tenketsus and chakra...I guess I should investigate more on the matter one of those days, everything I know about it from my memories.

 

And anything that I can find here.

 

Though I doubt there's anything about it in the academy library...perhaps there's some information on it in the library or registry or in the department of records or something.

 

- another problem to solve, huh? (But this one is far more complicated.,,)

 

Seems like I have had nothing but work lately.

 

At least ever since I entered the academy.

 

I have accumulated a lot of mental fatigue from cramming years of training into a couple of months is too much, I am at my limit.

 

... However, I have to bare with it.

 

I have to get good at it since I am running out of time.

 

 

Sadly, I can't complain about it too much since my wood-crafting skills have jumped by leaps and bounds.

 

I am not the bragging type but I believe that I am getting pretty good at it, if I do say so myself.

 

How could I not?

 

I have been doing that even inside that weird space inside my mind for the past month or so.

 

If I add all the time I spent there trying to train my skills in this art, it has probably been close to a year.

 

Probably a year and a couple of months.

 

... I can't really tell how long it has been since I don't retain my memories but the speed of my progress is too surreal.

 

Every time I start working I get this weird sense of deja vu, and my body feels more accustom-

 

 

- Hey, you! Stop! (???)

 

-huh?

 

I turned back and to my surprise it was some weird brat.

 

But I guess he is taller than me, and all.

 

...a lot of people are taller than me.

 

It doesn't mean anything.

 

If I were to guess he must be one of those upperclassmen, though I can't really say since I haven't met any as of yet.

 

All classes are pretty much left to their own devices and I eat alone...for the most part.

 

Lately Naruto has been avoiding me.

 

- yes, you! (???)

 

- me?!

You are reading story The Tale of Some Random Shinobi (Naruto) at novel35.com

 

I pointed at myself.

Why does he want to talk to me?

 

I don't know who he is but...this high and mighty stare of his even though he is just a stupid brat, seems familiar.

 

-how dumb can you be?! Yes you! (???)

 

- (dumb...) sure, what do you want... don't tell me... you want me to beat you again?! Dude, I am busy. Go annoy someone else.

 

I see.

 

I finally understand who this brat might be...I guess the clothes don't lie.

 

Only those guys like to go around wearing those types of clothes.

 

At least the male brats do.

 

- what!? how dare you? I will never lose to you! Get that through that empty skull of yours! Last time I wasn't being serious since you weren't an academy student. (???)

 

Last time?

 

So, I really know him.

 

I just assumed that he might be one of those weirdos who challenge me from time to time, I can't believe I was right.

 

-(C, any data on him?...that name sounds familiar.)

 

-(His physical features,voice and behavior, match the human being known as Uchiha Aoshi, 97,39% ) (C)

 

-(Aoshi... Aoshi. A.O. Shi... More like Ahoshi (dumb death).)

 

-(...) (C)

 

-(F*ck you! That was a good joke. )

 

- (Statistically your attempts at humor have fai-!) (C)

- (S-shut up!)

 

- Right~~ I remember you now,  you're that Ahoshi guy.

He's one of those idiots that tried to intimidate me because the tryouts or something...that was a while ago.

 

I totally forgot about him.

I wish he'd forget me though...

 

- It's Aoshi! Not Ahoshi!

 

- sure, sure. So what do you want?...(Aoshi...Ao and shi...Blue death?  No that's not right...wait? Aoshi is just another word for blue! (Indigo) )

 

-...the taijutsu that used to fight Sasuke was similar to the one taught by the clan...how do you know it? (Aoshi)

 

-Ha? Wait were you there? You're not in my class...wait did you repeat a year? You're a bit too old to be in my class.

 

- Shut up! I saw your match through my classroom's window! (Aoshi)

 

Window seat, huh? I guess I get that. I've also seen other classes on the training grounds before through the window.

- I guess that's possible. So you're not my classmate?

 

- No! W-what's wrong with you?! N-no, I don't care.  Just answer the question already. (Aoshi)

- (I feel insulted...but) Hm.

I started to ponder what he could possibly mean...

(Let me think... Sasuke... fight... what did... Ah! I used Shisui's taijutsu techniques from the book...were those specific to the Uchiha clan? Oh! So that's what happened...so it is not that he could accurately predict my moves but that he already knew them in advance...I can be so stup-! I mean overthink too much sometimes. )

 

To think that those were specific to the Uchiha clan, most of the book he gave me had to do with shurikenjutsu and wire techniques...sure there are some taijutsu but it is not really the majority of the content described.

 

-...I have fought many people, I usually incorporate their moves into mine...no big deal.

 

(Was that good enough? No! No need to doubt myself anymore. I have now the background of a genius he should buy it...hopefully)

 

-...hm... (Aoshi)

 

-What? Dont like me stealing moves from your precious clan?...to tell the truth an old lady from your clan also taught me some jutsus.

 

- lies! (Aoshi)

 

-You see... I never told anyone...but I am actually an Uchiha too-!

 

- Sh*t up, just sh*t up. (Aoshi)

 

- haha maybe it is true or maybe it is not. However, I can show you what I can really do. If you can make me get serious, I might use the moves you talked about. So that you can see them for yourself.

 

- that's it! Fight me! Tomorrow. After school! I will show once and for all that I am the strongest out of the 2 of us. This time nothing will stop us! (Aoshi)

 

- I'd rather not! what is there for me in beating you?

 

- what do you mean? You'd prove that you are stronger than me, but that's never going to happen. (Aoshi)

 

(Fu*king children...they are used to doing things for free. Especially the ones with parents.)

 

- ...forget it! Let's fight for real at the end of the week or something like that. I am still recovering from my injuries.

 

He looked at me, and as if he had realized something...the look on his face began to sour.

 

-...fine. (Aoshi)

 

Not waiting for my answer he just turned around and walked away.

 

He left just like that?...Assh*le.

 

Whatever, now I am free.

 

Anyway, I should go to the library tomorrow.

 

Find a book to read that can help patch me up faster.

 

The lady at the infirmary said I just need not to overexert myself and I should be fine, but I am sure there's like something faster.

 

Maybe I should aim to be a medical ninja in the future...seems like a safe job.

 

...

 

Me... A medical-nin?

 

Yeah, that's probably a bad idea.

 

 

Chapter end.

 

 

*Sorry bit of a filler chapter but pressed for time will try to at least put out 3 extra chapters by the end of the week*
