Chapter 24 Blood puppet

Great, now i’m gonna be known as a potential rapist forever. Well it doesn’t matter, it’s not like I planned to stay in the leaf village forever.

Then I felt someone smack me hard in the shoulder.

“Ahahaha! Kid. In my whole life I have never seen such a situation happen before, it was funny to see your shocked expression.” (Jiraiya) laughed at my current situation.

“No it isn’t funny. Atleast I don’t have a reputation for peeping at the girls bath house.” (Chris)

“I think being a potential rapist is a little bit worst than peeping at the girls bath house.” (Jiraiya)

“Uh Sensei. What’s a rapis.t” (Naruto) said without the slightest clue about what that word means.

“I don’t know either Naruto. Why don’t you ask the long haired pervert over here. That reminds me, what were the both of you arguing about” (Chris)

“Well you see-” (Naruto) was interupted by JIraiya before he could finish his sentence.

“Hey! I am not a pervert, I only peep at the girls bath house for research only.” (Jiraiya)

“That’s the lamest excuse I have ever heard.” (Chris)

“Kid! Do you know who I am.” (Jiraiya) said and pointed at himself with his thumb

“Don’t know, don’t care. Let’s go Naruto” (Chris) I said as I tried to get Naruto out of here as well.

“Kid! I am the legendary sage toad Jiraiya. I am the greatest in all of the leaf village.” (Jiraiya) said proudly naming himself that way.

“So!... it’s not like I met a sage before. Dom was my teacher, I don’t know where he is, but i’m sure he’s still alive. Second. You’re not the strongest sage. I have heard rumors that Isabella is stronger than all the other sages, and they also said you also fear Tsunade as well. Which means you’re not the greatest.” (Chris)

“Uuuuhhhh! Rumors are rumors kid. Don’t believe them”. (Jiraiya) tried to come up with an excuse, and he did.

“Well gotta go, see ya Naruto.” (Chris)

I was about to leave, but Jiraiya held my arm. He didn’t want me to leave because he had something to tell me.

“Before you go kid. Tell me where you learned the rasengan.” (Jiraiya)

“The what?” (Chris) I tried to feign ignorance.

“Don’t try to act dumb kid. Now tell me where you learned that jutsu, only I am able to use that jutsu, and I never taught it to anybody else.” (Jiraiya) said a bit serious.

“Oh! The rasengan. That is an interesting question, but first, let me do one thing.” (Chris)

Jiraiya and Naruto were equally confused. So I walked up to Naruto and whispered something into his ear.

‘Naruto. You should train with this guy because he will make you stronger as well. I know that I am your sensei, but he knows something that I don’t, and you need it to make you stronger.’ I whispered.

‘hmmm! Alright sensei. If you say so.’ Naruto whispered as well.

‘But before you can learn from him, you need to impress him first.’ I whispered.

‘How do I do that’ Naruto whispered.

‘Use the….’ I whispered

I turned to face Jiraiya, and said.

“Hey Jiraiya, Naruto wants to show you something.” (Chris)

“I don’t see why not, but after this you will have to tell me how you learned the rasengan.” (JIraiya)

“Okay sure. Naruto! Show him.” (Chris)

Then Naruto walked towards JIraiya’s direction, with a huge grin. And he did hand sealing techniques and Yelled out.

“SEXY JUTSU!!” (Naruto)

Then a naked female Naruto appeared out of nowhere and did a sexy pose.

Jiraiya didn’t expect this and fainted with a bloody nose. I however closed my eyes and looked the other direction. I don’t want to see Naruto in that form, because it’s gay.

(is it gay? Let me know)

I could have used my natural liar skills on Jiraiya and made up some half-excused lie. But this is more funner.

So with my back facing Naruto, I said.

“Good job Naruto. When he wakes up you must accept him as a teacher. And because you did such good work, i’ll take you out for ramen.” (Chris)

“YES! You’re the best Chris sensei” (Naruto) (He turned back to his original form, right after Jiraiya fainted)

And I left behind the cheerful Naruto, and the unconcious pervy sage behind. I still needed to find ‘that’ guy. Only he knows how to fix my problem.

The only problem is that I have never met him in person, so it’s kinda hard to tell where he is, since I don’t know how his chakra feels.

“Ow! Let me go.” (Konohamaru)

I turned and saw a man wearing a black hood with cat ears. He also had makeup on him, and had the headband of the sand village. He was Kankuro, A.K.A. Gaara’s brother.

For some reason he held Konohamaru by his shirt, and held him up high. Temari tried to reason with Konohamaru, but he wouldn’t listen to her at all. Gaara however was nowhere to be seen.

“Let him go.” (Sakura) was there as well. She knew that Kankuro was strong, so she knew that she couldn’t take him by force, but she couldn’t just stand by and do nothing while a kid was being hurt by a sand ninja.

“You brat. You spilled ice cream on my clothes, now you have to pay for it.” (Kankuro)

“I’m-i’m sorry m-mister. P-please let me g-go, i’ll d-do my best t-to pay y-you” (Konahamaru) was so afraid of the killing intent that Kankuro was immiting, that he couldn’t even speak properly.

I actually didn’t care what happens to Konahamaru, because I always found him very annoying in the anime. But the person that I was looking for all this time was Kankuro. He is the only person that I know who is very knowledgable in puppets.

“Please don’t hurt him. He is just a kid.” (Sakura) said and pleaded Kankuro to let go of him.

“He has to pay in blood for what he has done to me.” (Kankuro) said as he was about to punch the kid.

“Oi OI. just leave the kid alone.” (Chris) I said.

Kankuro, Temari, Konohamaru, and Sakura turned around to face me. Sakura was happy to see me, because I could easily clear this mess up.

Konohamaru didn’t know me, so he wasn’t as relieved as Sakura was.

Kankuro and Temari didn’t know me at all. Kankuro was a bit annoyed that I interrupted him, and Temari’s expression didn’t change at all.

“Leave! otherwise you and this kid will both end up paying with your blood.” (Kankuro)

“I actually don’t care what you do to him. But what will the people think about the sand village, if they were to witness a former sand ninja punch a kid of the leaf village. Not only that, but you might also start a war if you do anything to that kid.” (Chris)

“It’s just a kid, who cares what I do to him.” (Kankuro)

“Because ‘that’ kid, is the grandson of the Hokage. If you do anything to him, then the Hokage won’t stand by and do nothing, while someone from another village is beating up his grandson.” (Chris)

“...I see” (Kankuro) said a bit worried now. The 4th Kazekage A.K.A. Gaara’s father, told them to not cause any trouble, especially when it is about he Hokage.

If it weren’t for me, then he would have forgotten about the Kazekage’s warning. He always had a bit of an anger issue since he was little, so sometimes his rage would take control of his body.

“Just let the kid go, and i’ll treat the both of you to a meal, and i’ll also pay for your cleaning bill.” (Chris)

‘So he’s a son of a rich dad, no wonder he dares to act arrogantly around us. He probably isn’t even that strong.’ Temari thought.

Kankuro took a little bit of time to think about it, and dropped Konohamaru to the ground. The little crying kid then ran away to his house. He didn’t even say thanks to me, what a jerk that kid is.

Sakura was here because she wanted to save Konohamaru from this man. It was actually her fault that Konohamaru got caught in this mess in the first place.

While she was going home from the beauty salon, she ran into Konohamaru and his friends. They did a little prank on her, which covered her long skirt in dirt. Today was a special day today because she was trying to impress Sasuke with her new looks.

She has noticed that Sasuke’s attitude has been very different. She thought that it was thanks to her that Sasuke is more friendly, and if that was true, then she might actually have a chance to get a special place in Sasuke’s heart. And then finally beat the ino-pig once and for all.

But now her clothes were dirtied by Konohamaru and his friends, out of rage, she decided to teach them a lesson, by hitting them hard in the head. Konohamaru was caught by the screaming banshee, and got the punishment of a lifetime.

The other two fled, they weren’t that type of people to leave their friends behind. But they were too scared of Sakura, that they didn’t even think of saving Konohamaru.

After Sakura hit Konohamaru, he started to cry. Then after a while her age subsided, and she also apologized to him. After some time they got to know one another, and she noticed that his attitude is almost like Naruto’s.

She thought that this world was going in shambles, I mean seriously, isn’t one Naruto enough. She then hanged out with him, and even bought him ice cream. But who would have thought that Konohamaru would accidentally run into a sand ninja, and spill his ice cream on his cat clothes.

The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

The ninja had a bad temperment, and without hesitating, he picked up Konohamaru and was about to hit him. He looked very strong and scary, her fear got the best of her and she couldn’t even charge at him to save Konohamaru.

She was truly weak, she couldn’t even help a kid, then how is she able to go through the Chuunin exams. It was thanks to luck, and the help of others, that she even managed to make it this far into the exams.

This made her realize how weak she is. She thought that if this were to continue, then how will she be able to protect her friends, if she can’t even protect someone in front of her.

But after I came, she felt a sense of security. She knew that I was strong, so me being here made her feel safe. But the problem is that she has now realized that no matter how much she spents on clothes, or make up. She will never be able to catch up to Sasuke, or anyone in power.

Even Naruto, who was last in the academy, had already surpassed her. And she has noticed that maybe Ino might be stronger than her. Ino comes from a strong family, and they have a special ninjutsu that is used to interogate enemies.

This move isn’t strong at the offensive, but it made Ino much more useful than Sakura. But what does Sakura have.

She doesn’t have strength. She has a bit average good looks, but the Hyuga family has beautiful ladies in there. I mean look at Hinata, even if she is still a kid, her looks have definitely surpassed Sakura’s.

In short, Sakura has now realized how weak she truly is. The only thing that she had was her perfect chakra control. But her chakra pool was low, which is pretty much useless.

Back on topic.

“Just pay me for the cleaning bills, and nothing more.” (Kankuro) thought that this other brat (me) was also weak, but came from another prestigous family.

He only let go of Konohamaru because he doesn’t want to be lectured by the Kazekage. But if I was willing to pay for the kid’s problem, then he doesn’t the reason why he shouldn’t say no.

He didn’t like to be bossed around like that. But there is a chance that I was from a wealthy clan on the leaf village. So messing with any of us, could possibly lead to unecessary consequences.

“Nonsense. Infact I have some business with you as well.” (Chris)

I need to know what he knows about puppets. It might be possible that I might be able to find that annoying spy, and possibly Sasori.

“Kankuro, just say yes. We were on our way to eat anyway’s, and if he’s willing to pay, then there is no reason to decline his offer.” (Temari)

She might not be cheap, but what kind of idiot says no to free food. And besides, she was starving. She didn't want to eat at home, because she and Kankuro didn't like eggs for breakfast. So they hadn't had the chance to eat all morning.

“Fine. Lead us, we’re not that familiar with the leaf village.” (Kankuro)

“Sure.” (Chris) I said that, and I lead the both of them to a restaurant.

Sakura just stood there and watched the three of us leave. It looked like she wanted to say something to me, but she didn’t say anything, and went to find Konohamaru. She would only be a nuisance if she were to stick around.

I was able to notice that she wanted to say something to me, but what was is. I didn't use my mind reading on her, because I forgot.

I lead the two to a little restaurant, it was nothing expensive or cheap. But it was good enough to fill your stomachs. Now that I think about it, it’s been so long since i’ve eaten in a restaurant. I never took the time to come to dine in one of these, because I would always make my own food.

What can I say. My maxed out cooking skill is very good at making delicous things.

“So what did you want to talk about… uh!” (Kankuro) tried to recall my name. I never mentioned my name to them.

“My name is Chris Walker.” (Chris)

“Hm! Walker, i’ll remember you. Say, aren’t you that guy who shouted out his love to an Uchiha girl. You know, right outside of the forest of death” (Kankuro)

Temari was too focused in the menu, that she didn’t even hear what Kankuro just said.

“Yes that was me.” (Chris) I said and smiled. There is no reason to be embarrased about this.

“Just making sure, but what did you want to talk about.” (Kankuro)

“Then i’ll get straight to the point. There is something that I need to know about puppets.” (Chris)

This caught the attention of both Kankuro, and Temari. They have never revealed about Kankuro’s puppets to anyone, who isn’t a part of their village. So how did I know about his ability to control puppets. And more importantly, why was I trying to learn about puppets.

“How do you know about my puppets.” (Kankuro) said in a more serious tone.

“I have heard of your reputation and skills from a certain friend of mine (the internet) Don’t take this the wrong way Kankuro, I do not mean to sound like a spy, or an enemy. True we might be fighting each other on the Dhuunin exams, but this is about something completely different.” (Chris)

“I can’t tell you anything about puppets. Because who is stupid enough to tell their enemy about his or her strengths, and weaknesses. So I cannot say anything about it.” (Kankuro)

“I don’t want you to tell me everything you know about puppets. I just need to know a certain skill, if you don’t mind me asking.” (Chris)

“What skill are you referring to?” (Kankuro)

“I just want to know, if it Is possible, for someone to control a puppet without using chakra threads.” (Chris)

Now this definitely surprised Kankuro. Temari however isn’t as knowledgable in puppets as Kankuro, so she had no idea how to react to this question.

I know that it's impossible for Sasori to use chakra threads, because the puppet of his needs to be in plain view to control it. And neither Hiashi or the other Hyuga family members has noticed Sasori. So my theory is that Sasori is somehow controlling the puppet, without using chakra threads.

“Where did you hear that.” (Kankuro)

“I didn’t hear that from anybody, and I cannot tell you how I know because it’s very secret.” (Chris) If Kankuro is asking me how I know about it, then my theory must be correct.

“I think I know what you’re talking about, but I cannot reveal about it, because only me and some other puppet users know about it.” (Kankuro)

“Can’t I use something to change your mind.” (Chris)

I will not use my mind reading skill on Kankuro. Because I need to know everything about this puppet without threads. And reading Kankuro’s mind, will not be able to tell me everything that I need to know.

“What do you have. And I won’t accept any type of currency, you have to give me something that will ‘amaze’ me.” (Kankuro)

I was using my persuade skill on him, and it kind of worked. And I have a good idea to ‘amaze’ him, to tell me what I need to know.

“Can you let me burrow your puppet for a second.” (Chris) I just straight up asked for his puppet.

Kankuro was looking fiercly at me. He wouldn’t trust most people with his puppet, especially to someone he just met. It could be possible that I could tamper with it, and it will break down in a middle of a fight.

“No!” (Kankuro)

Temari was ordering food from a waiter, who was serving us. She ordered Nacho’s and some chicken wings, and a large pizza for us to eat. Looks like she is taking full advantage that I am paying for the meal.

“I know that you can’t trust me Kankuro. But this is the only way that I can think of that will amaze you.” (Chris)

I said as I kept using persuade on him. Kankuro was reluctant at first, but gave in to my persuade skill and gave me his puppet.

He quickly unbandaged it, and showed me the whole puppet. He was keeping a very close eye on me, to make sure I won’t do anything terrible to his puppet.

I just tapped it with my pointer finger, and a few seals appeared. I added ‘resistance’ ‘hardened’ ‘lightness’ ‘poison’ to the puupet

With these many seals on it, Kankuro is bound to be ‘amazed’ True I might have overdone it a bit, and possibly have made the enemy stronger. But then that means that the future fights will be more fun.

“Are these. Seals!” (Kankuro) yelled in shock. Temari was as equally surprised as her brother.

“These are indeed seals. They are resistance, hardened, lightness, and last but not least, poison. So now are you amazed.” (Chris)

Kankuro checked on his puppet, and he was indeed amazed. Puppets were relatively heavy, because they are made out of wood, and carry weapons with them. But with the lightness seal on it, the weight has dropped signifigantly.

He even felt that the wood felt alot like metal, this will without a doubt become stronger at offense and defense. But he doesn’t want to try out, poison and resistance on it. Because he would need an opponent to test out these on.

(If you guys are confused by harden and resistance. Well the difference is that Resistance, lets the puppet become more resistant to attacks. Duh!, but it’s attack power will remain the same. But with the hardened seal attached to it, the puppets attacks become as hard as metal, making it even more painful for it’s enemies. It even makes the puppet more resistant than it already is.)

After Kankuro finished examining his puppet, he put it away and looked at my direction.

“All right Walker, you got yourself a deal.” (Kankuro)

Yes! I did it.

“The thing you are looking for is called a blood puppet.” (Kankuro)

“What’s a blood puppet?” (Chris) I have never heard of such a thing

“Blood puppet’s aren’t really made out of blood. But you can say that these blood puppets are like an upgrade, compared to the ordinary puppets.” (Kankuro)

“What makes a blood puppet better than the one you’re using.” (Chris)

“Well I think you already know, but blood puppets don’t need chakra threads to control it. All you need is your mind to control it. That means that you can use your blood puppet to fight beside you, and you can also use your hands to fight the enemy in hand to hand combat.

You know that we puppeteers are really bad at close range, so to make it up, we use puppets to fight in our steed. But if we were to use a blood puppet, then it’s like fighting an enemy with someone by your side.” (Kankuro)

“I kinda get it, but if it’s that good, then why don’t you use it.” (Chris)

“That’s where the bad things come in. A blood puppet needs at least 3 times more chakra to control it. Not only that, but it is also mentally exhausting. The other drawback is that, the further away the blood puppet is from it’s master, the more chakra you need to keep it active.

Infact, my father once told me that blood puppets are really dangerous to use. Because most of the people who use these blood puppets, mostly die by chakra exhaustion.” (Kankuro)

“But there is something that I don’t get. You just said that you don’t need chakra threads to control the blood puppet, then how can you run out of chakra if you are only using your mind to control it.” (Chris)

“I don’t think you understand. In a way, you and the puppet are linked. So even though you aren’t using chakra threads to control it, you still need to use your chakra to fuel your blood puppet. But to control it with your mind, takes a huge toll on it.” (Kankuro)

“So what you’re saying is that even though a blood puppet doesn’t need chakra threads to control it. It is still connected to the one controlling it.” (Chris)

If this is true, then once I find the puppet then i’ll be able to find Sasori. And then i’ll kill him.

“In a way, yes.” (Kankuro)

Good. Now if I were to find the spy puppet living in the Hyuga place, then I can easily find Sasori, who is hiding somewhere in the leaf village.

Now I am really sure that Sasori is hiding somewhere in the leaf village, because. Kankuro just said that the further away the puppet is from it's master, the more chakra it takes to control it. So Sasori must be near us, otherwise he would die by chakra exhaustion. But the question is where is he.

I don’t know how Sasori’s chakra feels like, because we have never met in person. But if I were to find his puppet, then things will be much easier for me.

I think you should learn to use a blood puppet as well.

Why blue screen?

Because i’ve done my research, and as it turns out, blood puppets are very easy to create. Expecially for you, because you have the ability 'creation' Not only that, but they’re much more useful than a shadow clone.

Really? How!

Well the shadow clone jutsu is a very strong jutsu, but if they were to take one hit, they ‘poof’ out of existence. Where as a blood puppet can take some damage, and still remain intact.

You can do a lot more things with these puppets, that shadow clones can’t do. And the best thing, is that you don’t need to worry about chakra exhaustion, because you’re a literal walking chakra beast.

I guess I see your point blue screen, but will Kankuro teach me such a technique.

Even with your persuade skill, it might take some time and convincing to make him teach you the blood puppet technique. So I much rather give you the blood puppet technique, only if you do a mission of course.

Well then show me the mission. ‘It’s been a while since i’ve done one of these missions.’

Mission: Find Sasori, and his puppet spy, and kill them.

Mission rewards: blood puppet technique.

Mission failure: none

I think this is the first time, that you didn’t troll me with the rewards blue screen.

Eh! Well I gotta go and keep working on the ‘thing’ to use on the green alien.

Well good luck with that.

“Do you have any more questions.” (Kankuro)

Looks like Kankuro was unaware that I was talking with blue screen. And at this exact time, the waiter brought the food to the table. This looks very good and delicous, kinda reminds me of BP.

(Try boston pizza's shrimp tacos, they're my favourite dish.)

“That’s everything. But for now, let’s eat.” (Chris)

I said and the three of us started eating.

Afterwards we finished our meals, we went our own ways and said goodbye. Kankuro was even a bit friendly to me because of the seals I added on his puppet. He even didn't let me pay for his ice cream stain, that was on his cat costume.

Temari’s attitude towards me was about the same.

I never mentioned where was Gaara, since I completely forgot about him. But i’ll see him in the Chuunin exams. Hopefully I get to fight him, since his defense is supposed to be unrivaled in all of the Naruto world.

Now the next step, is to find the spy puppet. Which is probably residing somewhere in the Hyuga compound. I haven't met Hinata in quite a while. I wonder how my student is progressing.
