How To Survive In The World Of Naruto With Fragmented Memories

"So why have you selected the girl?" Orochimaru spoke with Kabuto after they returned to their rooms from the exams, Orochimaru had already chosen to kidnap Yuuma but instead, Kabuto signified for him to choose this Mina from the same team instead. "Because the boy you had your eyes on already had a contract with a different beast. If you were to use your Fushi Tensei on him. The contract between the Snakes and the other beasts will collide making his body reject you faster"

Orochimaru nodded after thinking about it when Kabuto mentioned it, it was indeed true that the contracts between two souls will collide and interrupt the process of Fushi Tensei. "Very well, we have two weeks to kidnap her. I will leave it to you Kabuto, even if you fail there is no need to beat yourself since we have a back up" Kabuto nodded at Orochimaru's words, he knew Orochimaru was feeling a bit dissapointed he could not take over Yuuma's body.

"Since we have two weeks to go, Chojuro will train Tomotoki, Kiyo will train Mina and I will be handling the little runt" Ao announces the plans for the two weeks, Yuuma snorted at his sensei calling him a runt 'I will beat your a.s.s sooner or later for this' Yuuma thought while he played with his balloon that was inflated with air instead of water which made it easier to tear apart, so he had to pay extra attention while forming a spiralling chakra ball within.

"The location of the training will be near Kage River, both Kiyo and I have already bought the necessary supplies. We will be leaving tomorrow morning, you may use the time you have now to do as you see fit" Hearing Ao's words, Yuuma went out of the house while walking along the stairs. Similar to Kirigakure, the villagers who were not shinobis opened variety of shops to run inside the village frequented by Kumo shinobis.

Yuuma stopped at a restaurant that specializes in Rice dishes, "Good Morning, will you be sitting alone?" The waitress came to welcome Yuuma, she was dark-skinned with long spiky red hair and amber eyes. Seeing that Yuuma was a foreign shinobi she wanted to change her attitude but since she already started off polite she could only force her smile while it twitched, Yuuma smiled as he could see this girl also have a prejudice against other shinobis but was not disturbed by it since it was common after all.

"Yes, thank you" Yuuma answered allowing the waitress to lead the way, from the manner of her movements and her aura, Yuuma could discern this girl was a Kunoichi about the age of Chojuro. They stopped at the table furthest away from the already taken tables, Yuuma took his seat "Could you give me the Chicken Rice special?" Hearing Yuuma's orders the waitress wrote it down till someone called her.

"Oi Karui! There are more customers coming in. At this rate, we will soon be flooded with work!" The waitress or Karui is her name turned furious at the voice who called out for her, "Omoi stop dramatizing everything and work harder!" Hearing Karui's yell Omoi could only sigh while continuing his cooking "Yes yes", Yuuma smirked at the two's interactions as he found it quite amusing, "I will come soon with your orders" Karui answered while a faint blush appeared on her cheeks seeing Yuuma's smile as she hurriedly left for the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Orochimaru spotted Yuuma from a distance as he still having doubts about Kabuto's decided to take a look closer. He entered the restaurant while asking to be seated with Yuuma, the waitress glances at Orochimaru wanting to recommend a different seat but after seeing his eyes turning to slits she was scared out of her wits leading him to the table. "I hope you won't mind me taking a seat with you, won't you?"

Yuuma turns to look at Orochimaru who arrived but did not know who Orochimaru was, Yuuma said nothing as he gestured for Orochimaru since Yuuma knew he could not prevent the man from taking a seat. "Thank you for your kind gesture" Orochimaru took his seat while ordering a drink, "You came quite far to attend the examination" Orochimaru muttered, "Well it was along the way I did missions so it is alright" Yuuma answered, he was not certain why but this man gave him the same vibe as Kabuto.

Orochimaru asked a few more questions in hope to probe Yuuma's abilities but what he has gotten out of it was nothing but disappointment, Yuuma felt relieved when Orochimaru left him. Soon Karui came to place the orders in front of Yuuma, "Are you participating in the Chunin exams?" She took her seat since she decided to try talking with him, "Yes, it's my first attempt" Hearing Yuuma's answer Karui felt a bit excited asking him what the preliminary was to which he answered, "I heard you injured a Kumo Shinobi" Karui asked

Yuuma nodded while eating his chicken rice, "I did warn him to be ready to face me seriously, but I guess with my age no one will take me seriously" Karui who heard this glances at Yuuma up and down before giggling while nodding her head, "Indeed, your age makes it difficult for most to take you seriously, what is your age right now?" Hearing Karui's question Yuuma raised his two hands indicating Seven, seeing this Karui almost fell off her chair looking at him with shock.

"T-That young!?" Karui was definitely shocked since she was only a genin right now and here is someone much younger than her about to become a Chunin, She shook her head "I think you need to use transformation jutsu to make yourself look older" Everyone in the restaurant who had been listening to their discussion all nodded at Karui's advice to which Yuuma was taken aback, 'Seriously?' Yuuma thought

After finishing his meal, Yuuma bade farewell to Omoi and Karui before heading back to the room where he met with his sensei. "Oh Yuuma you're back" Yuuma nodded at Ao before standing before him, seeing this Ao was quite surprised wondering what Yuuma would want, "Sensei, I would like to ask for permission to train in the White Tiger Village for the next to weeks instead" Hearing Yuuma's proposal Ao thought for a moment, from the beginning Yuuma had the talent to train on his own and only rarely needed consultation on his techniques which is mostly done through sparrings.

After brooding over it, Ao nodded "Very well, with that, I can assist Chojuro to train Tomotoki. Make sure you are back on time" Yuuma nodded at AO's orders as he went to pack all his necessities for the training, by the time he was done packing he was summoned by Airi to the white tiger village. "Where is Yuuma?" Mina asked Ao, "He has gone to train elsewhere and will be back before the start of the Chunin exams" Hearing Ao's answer Mina nodded with a reluctant face as she wanted to buy him lunch to thank him for his help in the chunin exams.

"Oh Yuuma you came to train in your senjutsu?" Kun who was busy cutting some branches from the flowers turned to look behind him when he sensed Yuuma and Aira, "Yes, I would like to ask for your teachings for the next two weeks sensei" Yuuma answered, Kun glances at Yuuma's determined eyes before nodding "Leave your belongings in the guest rooms, we will be heading for the tiger platform" Kun watches Yuuma leave with Airi to place his belongings in the guest room.

When Yuuma already placed his belongings in the room arriving in front of Kun without anything else on him since he will be training senjutsu alone for today so he could at least experienced it once. "Follow me, I will not go into details about Chakra as you know that it is made up of your physical strength and your spiritual energy. But learning Senjutsu you have to introduce a new form of energy into your body while balancing it with spiritual and physical energy, should you do it incorrectly it will fail. At the least, it will simply not work and at worst you will become a mindless tiger"

Yuuma nodded as Kun continues, "I am not sure if you know of this but the toads train their senjutsu by making use of the toad oil, the snake sage injects the nature energy into the trainee and if it fails she eats them." Hearing this Yuuma was shocked and relieved he had a contract with the Tigers since he did have thoughts of signing a contract with the snakes, Kun stops at an open plain near the village with a platform carved out of a rock.

In the middle of the platform is the same symbols, the seiryuu of the east, the Genbu of the north, Suzaku of the south and Byakko of the west. "Our training method is much simpler compared to others, you have to sit on the platform with your face in the western direction. Once you are relaxed I will activate the platform that will enhance the density of the Natural energy in the domain of the platform while it will assist you in absorbing it, each time you successfully gather natural energy I will be adjusting it lower and lower till you can normally gather natural energy "

Yuuma thought for a moment, "What if I absorb too fast?" Kun chuckled, "The platform is also an absorbing device made to specifically absorb natural energy, this will activate the moment it detects abnormality within your body" Yuuma nodded as he leaps onto the platform, he went o take his seat on the Byakko symbol while facing the west. His eyes glances at the sun that was right above him while he took a deep breath to start.

Seeing that he was ready, Kun absorbs natural energy while one of his palms was placed against the platform. As he gathered he immediately injects it into the platform, a soft humming noise could be heard as the natural energy density within the platform was growing increasingly fast. Even Yuuma could feel some abnormal energy invading his body, if it was not for his eyes he could use to inspect his chakra system he might have not noticed this.

But oddly the more natural energy Yuuma absorb nothing happened, but he felt a strange burning sensation within his eyes. It was not that bad for the first few minutes, other than light irritations there was nothing else. It was after that few minutes the irritation began to increase as tears were running from his eyes, Kun who saw this was surprised as the platform did not stop despite the fact the boy was absorbing an abnormal amount of natural energies that was heading straight for his eyes.

Yuuma felt like his eyes were melting and regenerated in a loop, he was not certain why this was happening but this is something he will never gain the answer to because the lingering chakra he gained from coming in contact with Hagoromo finally activated and began to mutate his eyes. Yuuma screamed while a faint drop of blood formed at the corner of his eyes in the form of a tear, when Yuuma opened his eyes, the left was crimson red while the other was Golden Coloured with veins bulging at the side of his right eye.

When the platform finally activated the absorbing mechanism to draw out all the excess natural energy, Yuuma's eyes turned back to his usual light blue with barely visible pupils before he lost consciousness.

Meanwhile, at the toad village inside a great hall where a gigantic Toad was sitting with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes "To think my dear old friend unknowingly influenced someone's fate" The toad sage closed his eyes while thinking 'Blue eyes, Red eye and Gold eye... The future is slowly changing, but the direction this one wish to walk is different from Jiraya's chosen student... Both are good ends but different views...' The sage toad thought while thinking he would like to see how this singularity would take this world differently.
