10 The Be (1/2)

~~~~~~~~~~~~Rogue Narrator's POV~~~~~~~~~~~

”So I have been looking for him all over the place but I have had no luck. I happened to overhear from some people though that he apparently looks a lot different and made a bet with one of the ladies of the leaf. So now I am going to look for him and I will get back to you once I do”

After a very short time the camera turns back on and has a highly grainy footage that barely shows anything beyond a few pixels.

”If you look at where I have it aimed at I found him because he didn't change his hair cut. Though he does look taller and now has facial hair he can't escape from my sleuthing abilities. Heheh.”

The camera shows the light yellow pixel that it was zoomed in on disappear and then the camera pans back out to normal zoom.

”Wait where did he go this time? God dammit he always gets away.”

A man appears behind the attempted Narrator and crouches before talking to him.

”Who got away?”

Without even looking back the narrator responded, ”Joseph. That bastard keeps getting away from me whenever I get close to him. Its like he knows I am watching him and trying to get ratings up.”

Joseph then chuckles at the Narrator before tapping his shoulder. The camera then turns and follows the Narrators view and shows Joseph with a grin on his face, ”Now that I have your attention I'm gonna tell you to come back next time but this time try not getting upset too easily.”

The camera points downward and starts shaking quickly as there are sounds of feet running against the pavement.

~~~~~~~~~ Joseph's POV~~~~~~~~~~

You know, I'm getting sick of my viewers getting ditched right as something big is going down, and then this shit happens where someone is trying to Narrate for me while not even continuing where things left off at?

Not going to happen, I'll only concede my first person narration if someone more qualified comes along, and so far it hasn't happened.

So anyways, where were we? Hm, got permission from Hokage... Oh yeah the bet!

Yeah, it was a spur of the moment confidence and partially since I know Tsunade has a bit of an addiction to gambling. So right after I said that she got a fire in her eyes and quickly responded, ”Yes!”

That was too easy, ”Okay, if I win I want a date.” I grin at her but this gets a frown from her. Jesus I didn't tell her to kill her first born in sacrifice to me. ”If you're concerned you can always make the losing condition for what I have to do just that much worse.”

She puts her hand to her chin and sinks into contemplation before smiling evilly, ”Alright. If you lose you have to be my test dummy for a day. I have some new techniques I want to try.” If I didn't just visibly shiver then I don't know what else could possibly make me shiver in any world.

”Alright sounds good. The bet is that before this coming weekend I can kill Danzo and convert Orochimaru.” Cocky? Oh it sure does sound cocky, but honestly going for completing 3 quests this fast is extremely cocky. On the bright side taking care of Danzo should be easy... should be. I mean I took away his regeneration.

She then laughs out loud, ”You think you can take care of both of them in less than 3 days? God I thought you were a fool but holy shit, my stomach hurts. Ooh breathe Tsunade breath. Oh man, I should've asked for more honestly if I knew that was going to be the bet. Oh well what's done is done.” She finally managed to get her laughter under control and she wiped the tears that were forming in her eyes, ”This must be me getting a lucky streak, I'm going to go hit the slots before I lose it.” She waves as she leaves the room.

”Oh yes Joseph, I should inform you there are no Uchiha born with the name Shisui at this moment. I checked with the patriarch of their clan and there was nothing to be done.” Damn there goes my back up plan for Orochimaru.

”Well do you know where Danzo is right now? I figure I may as well get it over with now rather than later.” He calls an Anbu over that whispers some things to him before he leaves.

”It appears he is currently going to eat some Ramen in a few moments. Do you have any tools?” Oh shit tools, that's right.

I shake my head, ”If you have a sword I will take it. I don't really know how to use anything else yet.” He nods and calls another Anbu over who then presents me with a sword. I am no expert so I can't tell how high quality it is, but I'll give benefit of the doubt.

”Good luck.” The Hokage says as I walk off. I then go and flash towards one of my formations by Ramen Ichiraku, and as soon as I get there I activate my quadruple blink step making everything slow down much more than before, maybe because I made my Chakra denser again. After a few minutes of walking I ran into Danzo who was casually strolling.

I activate my Expert Analysis to look at him:

[Danzo Shimura

Haha so leveling up Analysis does help me looking at higher leveled stats! Well time to use my skill steal. What? I spent 7 years in there, of course it's timer reset. Got a notification and everything. Yes I know how broken that is and I approve. Well I guess it's balanced since I mean I'll die if I do that too much because you know, old age.

Well give me his Advanced Taijutsu, Advanced Kenjutsu, and Advanced Spy Techniques.

[Skill Stolen- Advanced Taijutsu. Uses remaining before skill recharge - 5]

[Skill Stolen- Advanced Kenjutsu. Uses remaining before skill recharge - 4]

[Skill Stolen- Advanced Spy Techniques. Uses remaining before skill recharge - 3]

Wait hold up, do I have 6 charges total now?

'Informing host, yes host does. As host practices skills they will before more efficient or better. Host, remember Kami-sama and his explanation of skills leveling?'

Oh that's right, so the skill basically is now level 2?

'Affirmative'

Okay yeah that makes sense now. Well time to execute my kill. I stop the Jutsu and start walking as naturally as I can, I start going through all the techniques I can think of that show sheer badassery but there weren't many.

After a bit of walking I remember existence beheading. I start practicing it in my mind a few times before I think I have it down enough, then I pull out the sword the Hokage gave me, but I don't remove it from its sheath. I look at Danzo who seemed to notice my killing intent directed at him, but to his shock he can't seem to do anything with his sword, his hands, or his feet since I took away all of his important abilities.

I then look up and pull the sword slightly, turning the world around me to black and white, I rush towards him pulling my sword quickly and slashing at him before I rush past him and re-sheath the sword. After I do, with the world fading from black and white, a spurt of red appears in the air and spreads on the ground from the arm I cut off of him.

He doesn't scream at all throughout this, I walk up to him and stare him dead in his eye, ”I don't respect you at all. You always choose the most brutal way to do things and always feel threatened by those that have more power than you, but let me tell you this.” I bend down to get close to him, ”There will always be those stronger than you, I am no exception to this.” While being close to him I pull out the sword and give the finishing blow to his neck, causing his neck to fall off.

I blink away into an alleyway and vomit, god now I know why Tsunade got traumatized by blood. Man I always thought it'd be easy to kill someone like in video games, movies, and TV. Well I guess it was, but its different doing it with your own two hands. God, I think I'll be fine from now on, those years of watching horror movies helped me out a lot.

'Host has notifications pending.'

Huh? Show me.
