Chapter 74 - No Rest For The Wicked

Chapter 75

While looking at my face at first I didn't notice anything wrong… until I looked at my spiky hair.

Some strands of hair almost unnoticeable by the n.a.k.e.d eye had started turning…. WHITE…

"FU*K."

The overuse of the Creation Rebirth Technique has started to finally take his toll on me… ho-how much lifespan did I lose… probably in the battle against the Raikage I lost most of it… Tsunade was able to use her Creation Rebirth more because of her Senju heritage and even then at around fifty years old she looked like a hundred year old hag without her transformation on… DAMN IT… 

Ok I need to calm down… that just means that I need to become immortal sooner than expected… the plan can just be adjusted a little… instead of waiting till Naruto Canon comes around to become immortal then I just need to become so sooner… I can do that… but I need a plan for it… I wanted Kaguya's immortality with some higher regeneration on the side, but it seems like I will have to temporarily settle for some other type of immortality… Or I could invent my own type of immortality… 

....

Then after some thinking I finally concoct a plan.

Oh… yeah… that could work…

But that will take some more planning to get the finer details of it worked out. First order of business is to go back to Konoha… and not spend anymore of my vitality & lifespan on this war… which no longer has any benefits for me. I already exterminated all of the Kaguya clan members. I already have enough dead bodies that have the Shikotsumyaku bloodline limit. 

I then get up and look at my clone who still has the sharingan activated. I just dispel him immediately and get his memories. Then I sit down and take out another scroll and…

*poof*

A lot of food comes out. From cup ramen, vegetables, dried meat… and I immediately start eating…

I will just wait in this cave for three days and then return to the camp. Just in case the Raikage decides to take out his anger somewhere. It will be the camp… and if the Raikage doesn't attack I will take the credit of holding the Raikage back all by myself… so it's a win-win situation for me. If he does attack I just say to the higher ups that I did my best, I even lost an arm and almost died… but the first situation is the better win for me.

….

-three days later-

….

I am currently still in the cave. I sent a shadow clone to scout out the Konoha Camp and see if the Raikage already attacked it.

..

After some hours I get the memories of my dispelled clone. The camp was... ok, the memories were mostly from the clone confirming if it was a trap or not. 

The clone after much inspection confirmed that it was not a trap. So I myself went outside of the cave for the first time in three days… I could feel the sun shining in my eyes… ahhh not having a sharingan is going to suck… everything just became 120% harder… 

I stealthily get off the island and start running on water towards  the Land of Noodles which is the place where Konoha and Mist Village fight in order to not destroy their own lands. 

….

When I got close to the camp I didn't hide anymore and one of the patrol ninja  noticed me, and came towards me. He looked like your average chunin.

I saw in his eyes that he realized who I was. He also looked at my missing arm and the huge scar in my neck. I didn't bother to hide either of them. I need to be seen as a hero for when I return to Konoha...

Even though he recognized me because of protocols he still asked me in a serious voice.

"The ramen in the land of noodles is hot…"

I just look at him seriously and answer.

"But the tea in Konoha is better… also the ramen has gotten cold lately."

The code changes every day but this was an answer that showed that I was the real deal and that I had been on a long time mission.

He just nods at me and signals for me to follow him. I do so and go to the camp. When I go inside I see some of the Hyuga and Uchiha clan members look at me suspiciously.. well I know why they are acting like that… I already have a plan on how to take care of it...

The Jounin that I left to run the camp are still all alive. As soon as they see me they tell me to follow them. They will escort me to the Camp Leaders. I secretly do a handsign to them without the chunin even noticing anything. I ask them with handsings what is going on. It seems that apparently two S-rank ninja were sent to hold back the Raikage… and while I was away it seems like me having a sharingan has become a s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e situation. Apparently I am under suspicion of killing an Uchiha and taking his eyes….

So I confirmed what I already suspected.

'I knew that making promises (that I probably won't keep) to these Jounin would pay off one day.'

….

I go into the tent, and see who it was… the first face that I saw has eyes with snakelike pupils with long hair and pale skin, he is wearing a Jounin jacket… As soon as I saw him I was immediately in 100% alert mode…. It was Orochimaru… I will need to be VERY careful around him… especially with what now is the 'Me Having a Sharingan Situation.'... 

...damn I can never get a break can I….

Also the other person is….
