I Don't Own Naruto

So I might have missed one or two upload dates. But that's besides the point a updates here now and that's what counts right? No ok so like basically tradition at this point I lost interest in the story and kinda just fell out of it. I'm not sure if I'll try and continue this in some kinda of scheduled way.

Anyway I'm sure more than most of you don't give a shit about what I'm talking about and just want to read the chapter so I'll leave you to it.


I heard myself give out a yawn as I became aware of my surroundings as I woke up, only to have to stop myself from sitting up off the bed as I felt something laying on my chest. Opening my eyes slowly to adjust to the light, I tilted my head up to see Dachi with his eyes closed laid out across most of my upper body.

Wonder when he got onto the bed. Last thing I remember him doing was going back to sleep on the couch, before I decided to go to bed myself around three hours after him. Speaking of time what time is it at the moment. Turning my head to the right to look at the dresser that was across the room to see a small clock sitting on top reading six-twenty.

So I got about seven hours of sleep, not that bad considering how much sleep I get normally ranging from four to six hours. Shaking the thoughts away I focused back onto my surroundings to note that Dachi was pretty out of it.

Which meant it was up to me to get out of bed without waking up the red fox. My eyes moved to the right of me, looking at the space in between the bed and the wall before sending out a burst of chakra. And just like that I was staring down at my newly created clone that replaced myself now trapped under the tiny animal.

Now free I walked towards the door while sending my sleep clothes into my inventory before summoning them out once again, this time into my left hand out of laziness while also getting some shorts out as well to have something to wear. The reason behind that was I needed to wash some clothes which I learned yesterday before going to sleep.

With that said I made my way into the bathroom while tossing the used clothes into the bin that was in there. I was about to step into the shower when I noticed something from the corner of my eye that was reflecting form the small round mirror that was above the sink.

I felt my left arm raise as I placed a hand over my right peck covering the blot of very white skin that clashed against my normal only slightly pale skin tone. It was one of the after effects of having my lung removed in that painful manor was that the skin in the front and back of said organ also got destroyed.

And because the skin didn't technically heal naturally with it instead being repaired in only an hour the skin didn't have the time to return to its proper color so the only thing I could do for it was give it sun light to tan it back making it fix itself on its own. At least that's my theory behind it.

Oh well no point thinking about it right now, I can just get a tan at a later time but at this moment I need to take a shower and wash some clothes before waking up Naruto for him to go to the academy. With that I turned away from the mirror while ignoring the slight discomfort that came from the right side of my chest as I took another big breath before stepping into the tub.


I stared up at the ceiling from my spot at the kitchen table as I listened to the front door close as Naruto and Mai left for the academy. As the slight bang form the door faded into the background I listened to the washing machine whirl around with all of my, Mai, and Naruto's clothes in it.

There really wasn't much to do at the moment besides some training but I didn't know what to train. My stats are good enough for the time being and the levels my skills are at now are high enough that unless I decided to create a new skill there isn't much of a point training them.

Then again that's what I thought before I lost a lung to a old man so maybe those reasons don't hold up as well anymore. So what was there to do? I could talk to Dachi but I don't want to wake him up over something so petty and I know Kurama isn't awake either.

Finally after a few minutes I stood up and decided to at least do something that wouldn't just be a waste of time. I was going to go pick up some more food as we were running low on. Thankfully Mai still had some clean clothes left so with that I switched over before opening up my inventory to get some money out to set a limit on what I could spend.

With my last mission I gotten enough to finally break off my debt to that dead guys family so I have some extra cash and I should also be making more soon so I could also while I'm out look around for a weapons shop to get a refill on kunai. I've gone threw a lot of them because of how damaging lightning chakra is to the metal.

Nodding to myself at the plan I was about to slip the money I had taken out into my pocket when two knocks came from outside the door. I felt myself freeze for a second before looking over at the closed door in confusion as I thought about who would be there.

Was someone trying to kill me again? No, not a lot of people know about where I live so it has to be someone that does. But Anbu knock three times then state what they want and if you don't answer they enter and look for you or leave. At least from my experience.

Not to mention I don't remember feeling this persons chakra before but then again I haven't had my sensing ability long enough to have memorized everyone worth memorizing yet so it could be someone I know but haven't felt the chakra of before but I'm not sure who that would be at this second.

So the question still stands who is at my door? I decided that I could easily find out if I just opened the so I did the reasonable thing and walked over towards the door while pulling out a kunai that was beginning to have small sparks flicker off the blade. When I got in front of the door I moved the weapon to hide it behind my back before unlocking the door and opening it up prepared to stab away.

Only to immediately send it to my inventory as I saw the Old man standing there in the hall way. As I stared up at him in a mix of fake and real confusion I made a note to get a good feel on his dulled but powerful chakra type like rust on iron before I did anything else but once I got that I asked.

"Oh, what are you doing here Old man? I was just about to go out and do some shopping" His expression was a little uncertain like he wasn't sure how to bring something up which wasn't helping my growing feeling of confusion as why he visited himself and not send someone to get me like he normally does.

Whatever I don't care enough to question it so with that I moved to the side of the door and let the Hokage walk into the apartment. Leading him into the middle of the room I watched as he gave the room a once over during which I noted that his eyes stopped very briefly over my bedroom door.

I couldn't tell if he sensed my clone, Dachi, or both but I knew which one I hoped it would be as I really didn't want to have to come up with a convoluted lie to tell him how I found the small fox and why I didn't come to him about it. Thankfully he didn't talk about whichever one he felt as instead he turned back to me and started a conversation.

"Hello Mai, sorry if I sound rude but I was hopping to speak with Kai, when I arrived at you door. If you wouldn't mind could you get him?" I didn't let anything show as I thought about his request. Is he being watched? No I doubt that if he knew he was being watched that he would allow it to continue.

So this is just a pleasantry to be used as a greeting or maybe he's using this as a excuse to test how much I can act as a different person? I'm not sure but it's not like I got much of a choice unless I want to only wear shorts while talking to the Old man. He really shouldn't have come on laundry day. Still I answered him.

"Sorry to say but Kai at the moment isn't available" He seemed confused so I explained some more so he didn't somehow think something was wrong "I'm doing some laundry and what your seeing is the only clean set of clothes I have. So you'll us have to deal with me until Kai at least as a shirt to wear. I hope that isn't a problem for you"

"Oh, that's ok, I'm sorry for coming at a bad time for you but I had to tell you somethings and I figured I could come over and see if you wanted to talk about anything else while I was here" That was a surprisingly loaded statement. For one he probably has bad news if it is something that he thinks it would be best if he came to see me instead of the other way around.

Second is that he wants to talk about something else also but he doesn't want to be the one to bring it up for some reason. Which means that we aren't going to be talking about it as I have no clue as to what he is talking about. Moving past that I just gave the Old man a shake of the head before saying.

"It's no problem, I should have done the laundry awhile ago but I got caught up in a few projects. But that's besides the point of why you came here, what did you want to talk about?" He seemed hesitant which wasn't that comforting but still thankfully he didn't try and change the subject and got right to the point.

"Well you see Itachi recently came to me and asked that he should be removed from his position as your teacher" And with that the ball dropped as I stopped myself from going into my mild panic mode as I took a good second to think about what that meant. I knew the massacre was coming up but I didn't think that it would be so soon.

Which was a mistake on my part to be fair but still the only reason for Itachi to decided to stop teaching me is because he is about to kill his clan. Damn well there's nothing I can really do anymore anyway. I waited way too long and even then it isn't like I was planning on doing anything about it anyway so I might as well move past it.

Of course that's when a small audible ding rang out as a quest screen appeared right before my eyes. It took a good amount of my respectfully large amount of self control to not do anything to show that a box of text had just very suddenly blocked out my vision.

Considering that I couldn't read it right now. I just kept myself from reacting to the box while I moved it out of my line of sight letting it float behind me while I responded to the Old Man with a proper mix of confusion and worry that I had done something wrong.

"Why has he decided to stop teaching me? Is it something I did?" Thankfully the quest alert didn't throw me off to much as it seems that the Hokage didn't notice anything as I responded. It would lead to too many questions if I seemed to already know why this has happened so the best way to go about this is to just act like a normal person would in this situation. Well to be fair not a lot of normal people would be in a situation like this at all.

After a moment of thinking the Old man told me.

"No it has nothing to do with anything you have done. You see Ka- I mean Mai, as you know Itachi is a member of the Anbu corps. which means that besides teaching you he has a lot of things on his plate. So he decided that he couldn't manage both so his decision was to stop teaching you to hopefully help limit the stress he has been put under"

I just gave the Old man a small nodded to indicate that I was thinking about what he had said which was kind of what I was doing just not in the way he probably thought I would be. No, I was thinking about what would come next for me as now that I had lost my teacher I would have have to be reassigned at the very least.

Which meant that I had to get use to a new team, something that I wasn't sure how I was going to do. With Itachi, while there was that very obvious sense that it was dangerous to be so close to him this close to the start of the clan massacre, I had at least knew what to expect to a degree.

Now though I was going into a situation blind, something that I so far hadn't had to deal with as at least there was some basic information that I could glean from my foreknowledge. I'm not sure how I'll react now in this more than likely unfamiliar situation I now find myself in.

It took a second before I decided that if I couldn't plan for something I already knew then I just had to deal with it. So with that I straightened out my mind to calm myself to an appropriate level to act properly. Once that was done I got my sentence ready as I told the Old man in front of me who seemed to be waiting on me to respond.

"I see, well I have to say that its good for Itachi to take a stand to sort out what he has to. It would be bad of me to place myself before him so I understand why he decided this but that does raise the question of who will be teaching me now?"

The way I phrased it I hoped to get to the more important parts of what my near future will be looking like while also making sure that I didn't look to unattached or uncaring to losing my teacher. Lucky for me the Old man just seemed to be glad that I took the news well as looked to be more than happy to move on.

More than likely to due with him knowing what Itachi was getting ready to do. But I did notice that the look he had earlier was back as his answer seemed to be another attempt to get me to bring up what he wanted to talk about while not being conspicuous enough to show what he wanted.

"I'm glad you understand the situation so well as I image that you understand what it's like at the moment to be under some stress. Anyway, to answer you good question. I'm still asking around but I have found a team that I think you would fit into well. That would be team number five. There team leader is a man called Daikoku Funin"

As he finished his statement I ignored most of it expect for three certain parts that I kept to the front of me mind as I looked more into them. First was the Hokage thinking that I was under a lot of stress. I'm not quite sure why he might think that, actually to be fair if I was a normal kid I would probably have insane PTSD by this point.

So with that probably figured out I dismissed it to the next on my list. Team five, It might not be much to most but with prefect recall there was a surprising amount you can find out about something you didn't think you would know. Sure most of it turned out to be nothing that related to this I still got some information when paired with the third thing on my list.

The name Daikoku Funin, while not something that was in the show or manga didn't mean I hadn't heard of him before. To be fair most of it was just very small snippets of info that I gathered from briefly over hearing different conversations. So while I didn't have a full picture I did have at last a decent image.

From what I've picked up he was a promising student in the academy even holding a record for a little while being one of the fastest to pick up using kunai even beating a record set by one Minato Namikaze. Unfortunately for some reason afterwards he seemed to stall heavily afterwards only really being able to set himself at a slightly above average Jonin.

And that was mostly it besides a very mild rumor that he had an affair with some persons wife. That last part was just something I think I over heard from a nurse at some point. Moving past that I just nodded to the Old man. As I was about to ask another fallow up question asking who else was on the team it was at this time when the washing machine decided to go off.

"Well it seems that you have some clothes to dry. I won't take up anymore of your time Mai. Have a good day" Glancing over at the Hokage as he walked out of the apartment I wondered why he decided to leave in such a hurry so suddenly before moving my eyes back towards the end of the hallway where the washer was.

Deciding to forget the hasty retreat from the Old man for now I made my way down the hall to collect the clothes from it to put the rest that needed to be washed in. After swapping them out I threw the wet clothes in a basket before summoning a clone to go up to the roof to hang them up to dry.

It still confused me why washing machines existed but dryers didn't. But then again technology has always been so mixed and matched in this world that really it didn't truly surprise me. Shaking my head at the thought I moved myself over towards the couch to take a look at the quest alert that I had gotten during my chat with the Hokage.

As I finished reading it over I sighed as I sat back into the couch as I looked at the text box in front of me for a good minute before leaning back forward and reached up with my right hand to select decline as I frowned as I watched the text pop away like I hadn't just basically kill dozens of my technically family just to make my life a little easier.

I wasn't sure what to really feel after doing that and I sat on the couch looking forward as I consulted on the fact that I didn't feel anything really. Well there was that weird feeling of knowing I should be feeling something like guilt or regret but nothing came.

It was one of those things that I foresaw happening right when I started heading down this path. I knew Gamer's Mind was going to end up leaving me as a sociopath basically. It was something I knew was going to happen I'm pretty sure I dreaded it knowing that eventually I wouldn't really be me anymore.

But now I wasn't sure that I could tell a difference which was something that should probably worry me. I sighed as I looked up at the ceiling for a good moment in deep thought when I heard a small creaking sound from behind me. Tensing mildly I stopped myself from doing anything as I felt the two chakra signs behind me.

Glancing over my shoulder I stared at my clone who was holding Dachi in his arms. After a moment I banished the thoughts that were plaguing me instead in flavor of standing up and nodding to my clone as I took Dachi from his arms. Letting the clone puff up in a cloud of smoke I looked down to the small animal in my arms as he also stared up at me in return.

"Good morning Dachi, I hope you slept well" He seemed to nod before squirming in my arms a little. Taking that as a sign that he wants down I lowered myself down and placed him down on the floor as he seemed to appreciate no longer being held as he hopped up on the couch.

I'll have to look into that later but I doubt it would be anything to big. Could just be that he doesn't like close spaces. Moving past that I watched the kit for a moment before moving out of the living room area towards the kitchen. Going over to the fridge I opened the door up and looked in side for a moment before pulling out a few left over bits of meat.

Tossing them into the microwave for about a minute I noted as I moved over to grab a plate from one of the cabinets that my clone on the roof had returned to drop of the basket before dispelling them self. Moving the plate over to the microwave I placed it down and grabbed the handle right after it went off moving the contents to the prepared plate.

Walking over towards the living room I dropped the plate in front of the fox which he gave me a grateful look for as he moved over towards the food to get his fill of breakfast. As he ate in silence I couldn't help but think that he seemed more depressed than he didn't yesterday. I wonder why that could be.

After a few moments of him eating I eventually made my way over towards the hallway. Deciding that I should get somethings done even if I had to watch over the small fox. So walking into my room I bent down and opened a drawer that contained a few pots of ink and another brush.

While I did keep most of my items on me at all times in my inventory that doesn't mean that I kept every thing in there. The reason I had these bottles of ink on stand by here was the bottle of ink that I've been using in my inventory was almost dried out. Something I noticed a little while ago but didn't do anything about until now as I could instead just use my chakra.

With that I summoned a few pieces of paper before making my way back to the main room. Noting that Dachi seemed to be done eating for the most part surprisingly. He must have been hungry, moving past that I sat down next to him while moving the plate out onto the table in front of me so a clone could get it later.

Setting down my items I moved them to there proper places while unscrewing the lid to the ink and setting down a brush as well nearby. Glancing over at Dachi it seemed that he was interested in what I was doing. If I had to guess I doubt that his people had seal masters but then again I could be wrong.

Moving past that I leaned back from the paper and ink while the brush in my hand as I stared at the page in front of me thinking about what I wanted to make or upgrade. Maybe I could create a new seal. I haven't really done that in a while but it would be good to test myself with a new project. That's when a small voice broke me out of my thinking.

"What are you doing?" Looking over at him, he seemed curious as to what I was doing like before but now there was a look of confusion in his eyes as well.

"I'm creating a seal. It's something that a number of ninja can do with the proper training. Basically I'm storing some chakra into a certain design that I'll be putting on this paper in front of me to get a certain effect" That seemed to confuse the fox even more as I watched as his head tilt to the right some.

"Here, it's like this. There are dozens if not hundreds of different seals out there with each one having a different effect depending on what parts one uses to make the seal in the first place. And so right now I'm trying to think of a new seal to make"

He still seemed to not really get what I was saying but at the very least he seemed to understand what I was trying to do some what. Which raised the question if his people used seals or not. One would assume so considering that they have a summoning contract but then again literary all summons have a contract so that doesn't really mean much.

Looking back towards the paper in front of me there wasn't really anything I wanted to make. I had a few ideas of things I could try and make but most of them were things that I wouldn't be able to do for awhile considering my skill level at the moment compared to what I want to do.

Maybe I could make something to help with one of my skills. Looking at the page for another moment I raised my eye level up slightly as I opened up my skill menu. After a few moments I closed out the menu without anything to base a seal off of.

That is slightly disappointing. Shaking my head I looked over my shoulder towards the kitchen as I thought about what I wanted to do. It was a weird thought but I didn't really have any hobbies besides training and the things involved in that. Moving past that I stood up and sent the items still on the table into my inventory while giving an explanation to Dachi.

He seemed really interested in seals now that he had an example of what they could do. Then again it wasn't a seal that I used but he didn't need to know that. Afterwards we had a small discussion about seals and a few other things that they could be used for.

It was a nice talk but it fell off only after a couple minutes. After that everything after became a weird tension that involved small talk and a few question from the fox about what I've figured out about how to get him home. He didn't seemed to like that I had only a little information but his gratefulness seemed to over shadow it thankfully.


This chapter wasn't that long and was kinda cut off before I really felt like it had hit a proper end but I decided that this was enough for now.

I don't know when the next chapter is going to come out but I do know that I've been thinking about another story to write in the mean time so you can look out for that at least. See ya
