How To Survive In The World Of Naruto With Fragmented Memories

When they entered the restaurant they were seated at the far end of the restaurant, the Kumo shinobis now knew of Yuuma's name and his prowess although they are still wondering what his limit was. "Hey, isn't that the Odd eye Yuuma" One of the Kumo shinobi called B muttered while his friend C corrected him, "No! Calling him Odd Eye is wrong, it should be playboy since he smashes boys but plays with girls" B nodded his head being reminded of how Yuuma toyed with that poor Byakugan kunoichi, "It does make me feel pity for the poor girl, she was up against a monster"

Yuuma's eyes were twitching as he listens to these people gossiping while Kiyo giggled and Mina only blushed, the manner how Yuuma restricted the kunoichi with earth pillar prison was a bit too e.r.o.t.i.c. "Heh, I told you that you performed too well... In being a borderline sadist!" Tomotoki chuckled while listening to the surrounding people, but suddenly the entire restaurant became eery silent. Yuuma immediately used his own genjutsu on himself to prevent the foreign genjutus from affecting him.

Just as the shadows were about to leap towards Mina "Water Style: Water needles jutsu!" Yuuma threw needles towards the two shadows making them temporary retreat, "Who are you!?" Yuuma called out as he could see their faces were covered, seeing they were not answering Yuuma weaved his hands swiftly "Demonic Illusions: Foreign Invaders!"

Suddenly the entire restaurant was swept by a transparent bubble that grew with Yuuma as the centre, each time the bubble passes through someone, they awaken from the genjutsu. This was Yuuma's trump card against genjutsu users who might attack his teammates with genjutsu, waking his teammates up one at a time is useless so he designed a genjutsu that can take over an active genjutsu. It would have been appropriate to call it Hacking the Genjutsu.

"You dare disrupt my plan" One of the shadow shinobi opened his mouth as a tiny snake suddenly darts out of his mouth towards Yuuma when Yuuma slashed the snake in halves. The first thing he did was to touch Chojuro, Mina, Tomotoki and Kiyo who were still dizzy from the after-effects before warping them into the guest room near the pouch that held his special kunais. "Rule #1: Never leave a weakness to be exploited Yuuma muttered as he noticed the stronger shadow wanted to take one of his fellow shinobis.

"Tsk!" Orochimaru clicked his tongue seeing the girl disappeared, Seeing how the surrounding were waking up one after the other Orochimaru's attention was distracted from Yuuma. And since the next move, Yuuma did not direct his intent towards him gave Yuuma the opportunity as he immediately used Body flicker to appear behind the other shadow ninja who was Kabuto but Yuuma naturally did not know ti was them as he spin kicks at Kabuto's head but it was blocked. "Rule 2: Finish off the weaker ones first before the stronger one"

"What happened?"

"Someone used genjutsu on us?"

The shinobis were waking up, Orochimaru felt irritated as he body flickered straight for Yuuma and struck at him. "Ninja Arts: Substitution jutsu" Yuuma muttered with a smile as he and Kabuto switched places, the strange noise escape from Kabuto's mouth as he felt his body felt like giving in to this incredible force that knocked him out. Yuuma watches how the Kumo Shinobis all surrounded him and the two shadow ninjas, Orochimaru would have been able to beat Yuuma instantly but he never expected that Yuuma would count on the fact he will get distracted by the shinobis awakening form his genjutsu.

'Such a strange genjutsu that took over my genjutsu, interesting. I will experiment it' Orochimaru glances at Yuuma as his eyes began to slit like a snake, seeing this Yuuma felt his body growing cold from the danger bells going off in his heads. When Orochimaru and Kabuto disappeared did Yuuma collapse on his knees feeling his back soaked with sweat, 'Did I just face someone that dangerous!?' Yuuma thought he was incredibly lucky or he would have been killed right now, soon Anbu's of Kumo arrived near Yuuma and took him to meet the Raikage to explain what happened.

After a while of following the Anbu's Yuuma was brought into a wide space office, with a single desk in front of a row of large windows that overviews the entire Village. a bit further in front of the Desk were two couches of where one Ao as sitting on and the other was the Familiar Raikage, "I heard you have been attacked in my village by foreign shinobis, can you tell me in detail about this?" A turned to look at Yuuma who arrived, Ao did not interrupt this question as he too just heard of this now.

Yuuma explained how they separated from Ao his sensei up till the moment his fight against the two shadow shinobis ended, "So you are saying you have no idea who they are?" A asked Yuuma who shook his head, "I am afraid I don't know, they are definitely not Kiri shinobis" Yuuma answered, A nodded before turning to Ao. "Since your student is involved I will like to have Kirigakure sent some of their own investigators to help us investigate this incident"

Ao sneered within his heart as he knew this Raikage did not want to waste his own manpower to investigate the situation, but since the Kirigakure can't afford a war for a duration of time he could only relent.

After a while of talking with the Raikage in hopes to have a temporary alliance for the next ten years to give Kirigakure time to recover from its internal damages done by the Blood Mist era. Ao and Yuuma went out of the Raikage offices, "Yuuma, tell me more about these two people" Ao knew Yuuma did not tell everything as he must have a specific clue that would answer their questions, "Sensei, one of them is incredibly strong. His eyes became slits that made me have an illusion as if I was looking at a snake, and the pressure his killing intent gives off is really frightening... I never thought I would be crazy to fight such an opponent"

"Snake huh? At least we have some lead to work with" Ao muttered as the two of them head back to the guest room, when he opened the door he saw Kiyo and the two genins giving their reports to Kumo Anbu since they were in Kumogakure and it happened in their territory it was wiser to cooperate with them in regards to this incident. And the Anbu did not give them much trouble the moment they saw that Chojuro was a swordsman of the mist. "Everything fine?" Ao asked as the two Kumo Anbu nodded before disappearing, "Ao!" Kiyo came feeling anxious since she could not find Yuuma.

Ao chopped her forehead "Calm down Kiyo" Kiyo held her forehead but a smile unconsciously formed as this was the first time Ao spoke with her with such a warm voice, it was then she became aware that Yuuma was behind him. The room became noisy as Kiyo and the two genins want to know what happened so Yuuma told them in detail what happened although he kept silent about the eyes as just thinking about it make him shiver.

"The Chunin exams have been cancelled because of this incident, so we will be returning to Kirigakure tomorrow morning" Ao announced after the six of them enjoyed their meals before heading off to bed. Before sleeping, Yuuma sits crosslegged as he began to replay the event that took place in the restaurant. He was once again reminded of how lucky he was in his current location which held many disadvantages against his enemies, 'So they were extremely wary of the Raikage' Yuuma thought before sighing. 'The way to become the strongest is a distant journey'

"Never expected our plans would fail" Kabuto grumbled while Orochimaru shook his head, the two of them were too impatient to capture the girl. 'But that boys talent in Genjutsu is spectacular, it reminds me too much of Kurama clan. But I heard if their talent in Genjutsu is too high then it will have adverse effects on their surroundings; Orchochimaru c.a.r.e.s.s his chin as he enters the lab, this failure was not that much of an impact, in fact, he gained quite a bit of boon from this encounter.

"Lord Orochimaru, should I plan for another attempt?" Kabuto asked Orochimaru who shook his head, "No need, I will be using the woman we have as planned. Make sure to keep contact with Danzo so as not to have him suspect our connection." Kabuto bowed after hearing Orochimaru's words as he disappears, 'I should consider starting a hidden village of my own if I were to take on that old man' Orochimaru thought as he continues his research.

Returning to Kirigakure took Yuuma and the rest several days of travelling by foot and right about now they were currently on the ship sailing for Port City to the Lands of Water, Yuuma was sitting at the front of the deck facing the waves of water crashing against the hull of the ship. He could feel the water splashing from each crash but it never managed to touch Yuuma's face, in front of Yuuma was a vertical spinning disc which he was currently practising with.

"So what is that technique called?" Ao came out to see Yuuma covering the places the waters were splashing towards to with the disc, "I call it Destructo Disk" Yuuma answered while moving the disk around him before sending it flying towards a massive wave that was approaching the boat slicing it in halves.

Ao nodded thinking this technique is really a good weapon to use as a Shinobi, "Then let us start your training I owe you" Ao muttered as Yuuma smirked, the two of them confronted each other with taijutsu. "I see you are getting used to fighting at this pace" Ao chuckled as he suddenly increased his speed slamming his palm into Yuuma's c.h.e.s.t sending Yuuma backwards a few steps, the blow was not exceptionally powerful but Yuuma could feel his body is uncomfortable.

'This technique...' Yuuma thought as he slapped his c.h.e.s.t with a slither of his chakra penetrating the very position he felt uncomfortable with. When he felt the irritation feeling was gone did he look up at Ao who nodded "I saw you toyed with a Byakugan user in the exams to have a look at their technique, although I can't simulate it perfectly but I fought them long enough to at least do this much. So how does it feel?"

"You mean to say their taijutsu targets the acupoints of our chakra system to shut down the flow?" Yuuma asked while Ao nodded and shook his head, "Right and wrong, it can be used differently. But I suggest you don't learn it. You have to start choosing a route Yuuma, specialize. Even if you can use everything, focus on something that you can push to the limits" After saying this Ao sprinted towards Yuuma striking out towards him, Yuuma dodge while he thought about what his sensei told him.

'Speciality huh? I am indeed a swordsman... Earth and Water are my most used ninjutsu after genjutsu, I am creating the Destructo disk move that could increase my killing move which I will have as one of my trump cards' Yuuma struck out right elbow towards Ao's side but Ao dodged it without much effort as he spins his body to deliver a roundhouse kick with his left leg which Yuuma grasp his shin. "You thought of an answer?" Ao asked to which Yuuma nodded, he did indeed have an answer.

Yuuma decided to focus mostly on his naturally Genjutsu talent, Kenjutsu and his newly create Destructo Disk. He still intends to train all the other things on the side, as one could never have enough knowledge and skills to survive. "Yes" Yuuma nodded
