Chapter 71 - Time Skip.

So life continued and the years passed, tension is brewing, and I wouldn't be surprised if the 3rd war started in one to two years, it is definitely close. the other villages simply can't stand a warless world. It is almost comical as everyone preaches about peace but they don't even blink before starting a war.

I became a sort of a reserve Anbu, basically, I am an Anbu in everything, but I don't take obligatory missions anymore, my only obligation now is to attend emergencies and war. Now the only missions I do are correlated to my interests, but most of the time I am by myself, practicing Fuinjutsu probably.

I started acting as the Senju clan head now, so I go to some of the council meetings and help to vote for the betterment of the village. As if, that bunch of politicians only want to the betterment of their own ass, they don't care much about their country, only caring about their own benefits. Politics are really something detestable, you need to be someone truly rotten to actively enjoy it.

So after going to some meetings I mostly avoid politics, I really don't wanna touch that rotten shit. About the Kara mystery, I already extracted as must info as I can, I was even ambushed some times. but his time I was more prepared and was able to capture some of the ambushers, this led me to some more info, and now I can say that I have a pretty good grasp of their forces, and everything is looking great, mostly because Kara doesn't have strong combatants besides Jigen, most of the future combatants doesn't exist yet.

Another thing of notice is that Danzo has become really crazy as the time passes since the second war the dude has become more and more sinister. I really cut relations with him, and put some plans into motion to kill the shítstaín. I already know something like this would've happened but it really hurt seeing someone you consider a cool uncle becoming something so detestable.

About my life. Well, My life is going great, but a thing I noticed after I attained partial immortality, as I don't age anymore, is my outlook on things. Yes, I still remember as I was always busy, and doing something, almost like I don't have sufficient time.

It was true, when I was born I did have a normal life expectancy, for a Senju at least. but after gaining an Ageless body my mentality changed somewhat, I don't have that urgency I see on all other people. Its something you will only notice, when time became meaningless to you, you simply don't care anymore if you are 'Wasting time'.

An example would be when I found a beautiful landscape, normally a person may look at it for some time or even ignore it depending on its life. But I simply decided to sit there and look at the landscape for hours admiring its beauty, was I concerned about time? no. compromises? no, I simply didn't care much about these things, my life really lost all the urgency it had before.

Most of the training and practices I do I stopped doing it to become strong and started to do it more on the lines, of 'because I like it', I know there is a threat on the horizon, but I couldn't bring myself to desperate around it. Most of it I already have plans in motion for it, so everything is practically resolved already.

Should I be stronger? Yes probably, but my plans don't require it, most of them don't depend on my strength, but more on my ingenuity and manipulation, how good i can act and etc.
