Chapter 1+2 (exceptonal)

After having died in a shitty way to go via getting my house broken into and gunned down I've found myself floating in the void of who knows what, for what has felt like years considering that time flowed differently here. Yet after so long I'd finally get a message that would change my life after spending a seeming eternity in the void floating, and contemplating my life with repetition after repetition in order to prevent myself from going absolutely mad from boredom.

(?, 20?, 11:49 Pm)

It'd been who knows how long since I died that night, all I know is that maybe this is my supposed hell seeing as how I wasn't exactly the poster boy for good deeds and such.

"Well, this is a new turn of events." The man said as he saw a sapphire-colored light appear

Congratulations you've now been selected to be a Gamer...select your universe

Selected universes are as follows (Bleach, Highschool DXD, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Naruto, DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Percy Jackson, Game of Thrones)

"Let's see as much as I like DC and Marvel that's a no go because there's no way I'm letting myself get smacked around by people who are the literal equivalent to Gods or better yet are Gods. Since there's too much fun I want to have. Which also crosses out Percy Jackson as well." The man said to himself knowing those 3 were out because he knew that he didn't want to f.u.c.k around and piss off Iron Man or Superman because of his soon to be antics

"I'd also have to say no to The Old Republic because as much as I'd love to be a badass Sith. I have no intention of dealing with my master I trying to take over my body in what would be the first part of the story or blowing me up because I'm too good at my job. So until I'm stronger then sadly Star Wars is a no go." The man spoke as sadly his dreams of being a Sith badass would have to be on hold for now

"Game of Thrones is a definite no go. Since I really don't feel like having to deal with constantly getting backstabbed by power-hungry jackasses like in my last life, and neither do I have the mental capacity to deal with or put up with anyone..especially that little shit Joffrey." The man spoke considering that he didn't want to have to put up with the constant betrayals and looking over his shoulder and neither did he want to have to placate insane bastards like Joffrey

"That only leaves 3 options left, now let's look at my remaining options." The man thought to himself

"Highschool DXD is obviously out. Because despite it being cleverly masked as a harem anime, that place is f.u.c.k.i.n.g nightmare with all the bullshit powerful people in there, and starting out there would be a tactical mistake. Even if all the girls there are hot and somehow that f.u.c.k.i.n.g dumbass Issei managed to get them all, as the man calls himself a proclaimed harem king and yet does nothing with all of those girls and the power to slay gods. If I ever see that little shit he's dead." The man swore to himself as Issei was one of the most irritating things about Highschool DXD in his opinion

New mission Objective

Revolt against the Harem King

Objective: Kill Issei Hyoudou and assert yourself as the new protagonist.

Reward 1: ? EXP

Reward 2: ? Items, ? Items

(Accept: Y/N)

"This an obvious one, as your days are numbered you little shit." The man spoke easily accepting the quest and all of what would soon be his

"Now then it's between Naruto and Bleach, as both are freaking awesome. But which to choose...well I guess to make things easier would be a coin flip. Tails I go to Naruto and Heads for Bleach." The man added as he flipped a half-dollar into the void as it slowly came back down and landed in his palm

"Well I guess I choose Naruto then." The man spoke as another message appeared

You've chosen the Narutoverse as your starting gamer world. Now select your starting village.

(Konoha, Suna, Iwa, Kumo, or Kiri)

"Konoha of course, as hopefully I'm not relegated to being a side character. Since if I'm playing the game then I think I deserve to be the main character or at least a supporting one." The man spoke as two messages opened up

Due to request, a quest-line has opened up

Master the Beast

Due to the interesting request, the system has decided to give you the optional questline.

If you accept this quest-line you shall replace the titular character as host of the 9 tails.

Objective 1: Master the 9 tails chakra before the end of series

Objective 2: Earn maximum reputation and obedience with Kurama the 9 tailed fox before end of series

Objective 3: Kill Obito Uchiha before end of series

Reward 1: 27 Levels to all classes

Reward 2: 6 random perks

Reward 3: 18 ? Cards

(Accept (Y/N)

"F.u.c.k the hell yes I'm accepting, as I'd have to be a complete and utter dumbass not to!" The man exclaimed as he quickly accepted yes

Now then select your class

(Fighter, Healer, Mage, Rogue)

"Obviously Mage, as mages are f.u.c.k.i.n.g awesome." The man spoke as he selected Mage immediately

Select Specialization

(Elementalist, Necromancer, Illusionist, Summoner)

"Elementalist is overrated since throwing around the elements like you're the last Airbender has been done to death. Not really caring about summoning so that's out, and making people trip the f.u.c.k out as Illusionist doesn't hold a candle to the awesomeness that is Necromancer. Because no one truly understands how awesome using the power of undeath is too make people rot and wither or summoning up undead to have your own army of zombies." The man spoke as he felt that people truly underestimated the awesomeness of being a necromancer

The Gamer

HP: 720/720

MP: 420/420 (MP Regen: 64 per 5 seconds)

XP: 0/300

STR: 23

INT: 14

WIS: 16

CHA: 18

Luck: 22

Stat Points Available: 60

Str: Your physical stat of how much you can dish out with physical damage and athletic prowess when it comes to jumping, lifting and other such things. 1 STR point = 5 points of damage

Dex: How good you can run, dodge evade and do all sorts of acrobatics. If your gonna be in the world of Naruto make this at least decent.

INT: How smart you are and the ability to put absorb information, as well as your stat for spellcasting. 1 point of INT= 20 points of MP

CHA: Acts as your force of personality and how well you're able to apply yourself in social settings

LUC: Basically how lucky you are and affects things such as loot drops and chances of rewards and such

"Well time to do some spending." The man spoke as he began investing his Stat points

That in mind put several points in Strength, 8 points into Dexterity to make it not suck so much, 4 points into Vitality, 12 points into Intelligence so he could have more mana for spells, 11 into wisdom knowing he'd need it for the mana regeneration, 4 into Charisma and 6 into Luck. Which left him with 8 left and so with stat points well spent he decided that he was done and that it was time to kiss the void goodbye and begin a whole new life.

(September 13th 994 S.E, 10:53 pm, Konohagakure)

It was the dead of night as the man woke up in an alleyway in the midst of the night, and found it awkward that it was like this

"What the hell am I doing in an alleyway?" The man or rather Gamer questioned himself

Due to you having overtaken Naruto Uzumaki's life as your own, your starting point has now taken on a more a.d.u.l.t and realistic beginning than originally created in canon. Considering how you are the host of Kurama you are more or less seen as a monster, and thusly kicked out of your apartment for being seen as such.

"Well, that explains it." The Gamer spoke as he saw that his new name was now Gohan Uzumaki

' At least I get named after one of the most badass Dragon Ball characters, even if he did peak super early.' The now named Gohan thought to himself feeling happy that his name was in honor of the son of Goku

"Since I'm already hated and seen as a pariah, I might as well started on building up my army. After all, if this is pretty much a grittier version of Naruto and already I have people hating my guts." Gohan spoke as the moment he walked out of the alleyway he saw people staring at him with hate, disgust and vitriol

"Look here boys its the demon walkin' around." A drunk villager spoke

"And since it doesn't have his guards around this time, we can finally get to punishing it for what its done." Another spoke brandishing a crowbar

'Really...I have to deal with this trope...I know it said gritty realism, but even this is pushing it.' Gohan thought to himself as the whole villagers hating Naruto trope while a good one was a bit of overblown one at that

"You shut your mouth you damn demon, as its time to pay for you killing little sister!" An auburn-haired villager cried out as she threw a rock at Gohan who with his physical resistance took 2 points of damage

"Yeah let's get him!" Another shouted slashing a kitchen knife against his 13-year-old body that made him take another 3 points of damage

"Well at least I know who my victims are, and the bonus is since you attacked me first I can claim self-defense." Gohan replied as he grabbed the villager who hit him with the knife and with his bare hands bent the knife in half and used the broken shards to stab him in the chest causing 20 points of damage

"Wow you guys are frail, but then again I am stronger than you so that's a given," Gohan spoke stabbing him with the shard causing another 20 points of damage as the man was bleeding out and proceeded to use Drain Life to drain his remaining health into him and heal his missing HP

"T-The demon killed him." The woman stuttered before she was casually struck down by Ray of Death causing her body to wither

"Yeah what the f.u.c.k did you think was gonna happen? Because y'all pushing me around is over, as now all of you are dead and the best part is you won't be missed because you're all cannon fodder for my path to power." Gohan spoke as he charged up Rays of Death

With Gohan having shot out multiple Rays of Death that struck their targets head on and in mere moments were corpses lying dead at his feet. with him then proceeding too put them into his inventory to be later converted into his legions of undead.

Congratulations you've made your first kill(s) and made the first steps to asserting your dominance. So here are your rewards.

450XP

5 Stat Points

+5 Obedience to Kurama for showing you will not be pushed around Obedience (5/100)

Congratulations you've made it to Level 2

+5 INT

+5 WIS

'Well, it looks like I'm gonna be well on my way towards being a badass necromancer.' Gohan spoke as he put the corpses away in his inventory to convert to undead later

(3 months later, December 26th 994 S.E)

It was winter as Gohan in his new home in the Forest of Death both because he knew that with the inhabitants of Konoha having their bias in thinking he was the 9 tails he wouldn't be able to have a proper home, which was why he settled here and besides it was free XP and chances to level himself up and his abilities to their limit before the start of Part 1 of Naruto.

"I gotta say that as cliche as it this is going to sound, the cold doesn't bother me anymore." Gohan thought as he sat down on a patch of snow and looked up at the cloud-filled sky

"Besides at least in here I don't have these idiot villagers bothering me, and I get the chance to grow my power in peace. The only downside is that I can't go murdering all willy nilly, otherwise the big boys or worse yet the 3rd Hokage and even Danzo will catch on and I can't really have that. So I guess that puts the growth on my legion of undead on hold for now

"Anyways I might as well see how far I've come." Gohan spoke as he pulled up the screen to check his stats what abilities he's gained

"Well, at least I've got some really good spells going on." Gohan thought to himself as he closed off the stats screen before he heard a roar

What in the actual hell is going on." Gohan wondered as he saw 3 large reddish-brown colored bears with dark blue eyes staring back at him

LUC: 8

XP GAIN: 310

Description: Like all animals within the Forest of Death have been mutated by the abundance of chakra in the ecosystem. Even more so due to the 9 tails attack 14 years ago.

That in mind he cast Create Undead twice summoning up 2 Skeleton Horde's each in piecemeal leather armor and armed with war pike's, morningstar's, flails and shields; with him sending the forces out against the two dire grizzly's who were unprepared for the 20 armed skeletons rushing towards them. With the two bears clawing out at the skeletons who did battle against the trio of dire bears, as Gohan was quite content at the way his skeletons were fighting the bears who were kept off guard by the undead threat; with him doing ranged support via his Ray of Death attacks so as to rain death damage against his new targets.

With him seeing that a handful of his skeletons were running low on health he activated the Corpse Bomb ability and saw 250 points of damage were dealt to the bears as toxic cobalt blue and pale green miasma erupted from them. That in mind the number of his skeletons continued to dwindle if slightly while he provided ranged support, with Rays of Death in a Gatling gun-like manner, that soon enough had the dire bears were in the double digits of health before 3 more of his skeletons burst from the Corpse Bomb ability killing them.

That in mind he had his now 13 remaining skeletons step aside to allow him to collect his prizes which were 3 dire bear pelts and about 5 pounds of dire grizzly meat, as well at the 930 XP gained from killing them as he collected his prizes. With him being glad that he could sell these come spring for some additional cash, so that way he could get to work on buying armor for his living armors; however a loud clicking noise that was probably attracted from all the bloodshed.

"Well, this should be fun." Gohan thought to himself as he saw a large emerald-colored centipede the size of a small house glaring at him

Dire Centipede

Level: 18

HP: 1,950/1,950

CP: 60/60

STR: 39

DEX: 19

VIT 30

INT:7

WIS: 8

CHA: 8

LUC:8

XP Gain: 390

Description: Like all animals this centipede has mutated due to the saturation. This creature can fold up into its hardened shell to defend itself against physical attacks.

"Well here goes nothing." Gohan spoke giving the order for his remaining skeletons to swarm the creature

That in mind once the remaining 13 skeletons got in range he had them explode thanks to his Corpse Bomb ability, which caused 650 points of damage and while the necromancer was happy that he managed to take out a 3rd of its health. He knew full well that it wouldn't be enough and proceeded to dart off while the dire centipede gave chase to him, while Gohan was breaking out into a full sprint before using his strength to make a leap onto one of the nearby tree branches to escape from the dire centipede.

Yet it was in vain as the large centipede crawled and curled its way up the massive tree trunk with Gohan shooting out Rays of Death at it in a rapid-fire pace, managing to get several shots off before it soon was face to face with him and lunged at him. With the necromancer managing to catch one its pincers from impaling him, while one caught him in the gut causing 95 points of damage with 2 hidden ones soon jutting out and forcing him to break off contact from it while the hidden pincers tore at him causing 70 points of damage respectively.

With him deciding to use Create Undead to summon up Bayrok's which were grayish skinned corpses that wore leather armor with razor-sharp claws and armed with short-bows which he ordered to open fire, with their short-bows releasing arrows which were sent flying towards the dire centipede who curled up into a ball which halved the damage dealt. Nonetheless, it gave Gohan some time to recover while his undead minions continued to fire upon the dire centipede, while Gohan was deep in thought of how he could ramp up his abilities to further.

"I swear I need to level up more quickly since there's only so much I can do against these creatures. Much less when the real story starts and I gotta go up against people like Zabuza or god forbid the badass himself Kisame." Gohan said as he knew he needed to get stronger faster

"Hopefully when I do take over this place that I can recruit Kisame, as having the tailless beast on my side and the most badass of the 7 Swordsman would be awesome." Gohan added as in his opinion Kisame Hoshigaki was the most awesome swordsman in Naruto

After his brief period of fanboying over the Akatsuki member, Gohan turned his attention back on the dire centipede who after the repeated attacks was whittled down to 705, before he joined the fight and ran up to it once he saw it opened up from its shell-like ball and began attacking. That in mind he clamped down onto it and cast Drain Life thrice in order to regain more of his lost health, before proceeding to blast Rays of Death into its hardened carapace.

With it being once it was whittled down to below 300 health after having defeated 3 of his Bayrok's he decided to end it, via having his remaining once explode due to his Corpse Bomb ability which finished it off with each. With the drops from it now only being experience but also it's carapace which he felt could be used to be traded in for armor, because he knew full well from experience that necromancer's while badass didn't have much in the way of armor and defense like that; because he knew that should his undead hordes fail he would need something to cover his ass.

"Well this has been a productive day," Gohan said with how today has gone

"Once my MP and HP are filled back up I can go back and hunt some more and possibly get halfway to my next level before nightfall. Not only that but I can get shelter set up before one of the snowstorms hit." Gohan spoke in having throughout his time in the Forest of Death learned to make shelters

"Now then the only thing that's a waste of time is the stupid academy, as everyone with a few exceptions are so damned annoying. Perhaps later on I can get rid of Kiba and Akamaru for myself, as I'm sure he'd make a fantastic hellhound and familiar. Not only that but get rid of Sakura and possibly Ino, seeing as how they're relatively useless at this point. So many decisions on who to get rid of." Gohan mused as to whom he should get rid of and who would be in my way

"Then there's Sasuke. Since he was a great character..well great before Itachi further mindf.u.c.k.i.e.d him and sent him the path to Orochimaru where granted he was still pretty good but not what he could've been. Well, now that I'm here I can prevent that and possibly have him under my thumb. Now that would be wonderful in having a general to serve me in my eventual plans as a lord of undeath." Gohan spoke since in his past life he did quite enjoy Sasuke's character

"This is an obvious and easy answer, but what the f.u.c.k are Gacha Tokens?" Gohan wondered before another message appeared

Gacha Tokens: These Tokens allow for one random skill or companion to be one.

"Well that makes things more interesting." Gohan thought before he went elsewhere to hunt

(1 month later, January 28th, 995 S.E, Hokage Tower, 12:25 Pm)

It was the new year as Hiruzen was with Danzo over one subject that being over Gohan's growth in strength and change in personality, which even Hiruzen had to admit was concerning from him having gone from a cheerful and boisterous young man to driven, angry and at times ruthless individual.

"I'm telling you Hiruzen something must be done about the boy." Danzo spoke in referencing Gohan's growth of power and change in personality

"I will tell you this, like I have been for the past decade that you will not put him into ROOT. As he still deserves the chance of living as close to a normal childhood as possible. Not to be made into a war machine." Hiruzen rebuked the warhawk as he refused to let Gohan be put into his clutches

"Oh come off it now Hiruzen, you and I both know that his childhood has been anything but normal. Since the villagers have damned him to a life of being a pariah, and hate him like he was spawned from the pits of the underworld itself. So why do you continue with this false illusion that he'll be like anyone else. Because you and I both know that the light in him that you've tried so hard to keep bright is gone and that he's not the precious boy you've tried so hard to shield is gone." Danzo countered in knowing that the bright and cheerful boy Hiruzen saw as a surrogate grandson had practically died and been replaced by something cruel and sinister

"Because my ROOT agents have seen the boy spend his time constantly in the Forest of Death, with them saying that he smells of blood and death. Since I'm sure that even you can see that every time you look in his eyes the light of innocence is gone and instead there's cold, even pragmatic hate in them." Danzo added in knowing that Gohan from what they knew him as had changed

Because with them now dealing with the Gamer version of Gohan who was like a shark cold, unforgiving and ruthless; since even Danzo knew that with the way he's been treated in the village that with his mindset as it was now that it wouldn't take much for him to decide to take retribution on the villagers.

"Even Iruka has reported to on Gohan's changes. As for the most part I thought it was Gohan taking things seriously in the academy, until during one of the sparring matches when he went up against Kiba. Since he's still getting over his broken ribs and sternum." Hiruzen spoke considering that it took Iruka himself to pull Gohan off of the Inuzuka heir as he beat the tar out of him

"Besides, the boy is even wising up to the fact that you've kept Anbu watching him, because for all of the boy's prior immaturity. He's shown himself to be quite perceptive and intelligent, with him proving to be the Nara's equal and soon enough superior if time is anything to go by." Danzo replied as Gohan had for all of his reclusiveness into the Forest of Death proven himself to be quite smart to say the least

"Minato and Kushina would be both ashamed and proud of how he's begun to turn out. With him showing himself to be such a talented young boy, but the growing darkness in his heart is something that can't be overlooked." Hiruzen said in knowing that both parents would be proud of his talents and intellect yet ashamed of the fact that he let such darkness to foster and grow itself inside their son

"One thing that can be ruled out is the fact that the 9 tails is influencing him. Because my operatives have so far seen no attempts or even so much of an iota of its chakra being tapped into." Danzo told the 3rd Hokage that so far no contact with the tailed beast had been made

"That is so far great news. Because with the way that Gohan has been progressing and acting, the 9 tails influencing him would be a disaster waiting to happen." Hiruzen spoke in relief at the fact that the 9 tails hadn't made contact with Gohan otherwise things would be looking in far more dire straits

"Still Hiruzen even you have to admit that the changes in the boy are more than likely for the best. " Danzo remarked causing a small bit of killer intent to be sent his way

"Choose your words carefully Danzo. Because I mave have declined from what I once was as the God of Shinobi, but I am still capable of showing you why even now I am the 3rd Hokage." Hiruzen warned him as this was still dangerous territory he was treading on

"What I am saying Hiruzen is that these changes going on within him are for the better. With you almost convinently forgetting that the villagers have not been the best towards him and that the changes in him right now are not just because he is the jinchuuriki of the 9 tails. But because he's been stripped away of any illusion of kindness the world has and as a result has had to harden himself against a place that he feels is out to get him." Danzo told him in knowing that Gohan from his point of view was most likely having to change himself as such because he felt that he had to be ruthless to survive in a place that absolutely hated him

"You can live in your fantasy world much all you want, but him being seen as a hero Hiruzen is as likely as Tsunade ever going sober; considering how the villagers hate him too much. Since sure enough you can think that he can work hard enough to change his opinion of them, and see him as a hero and something good. However, have you ever thought that he doesn't want the villager's admiration anymore and instead just outright hates them back." Danzo added with his one single eye staring at Hiruzen with a cold harsh truth

Since one unfortunate truth was the fact that Gohan had come to a realization that he was within a place that hated him and often wished him dead, and because of such things as villagers who outright made their hate known for them or drunken mobs that would form to try and beat and sometimes kill him. With even a brazen enough villager going out of their way to beat him to a pulp in his youth out of hate for the 9 tails, it was a no brainer that Gohan's changes to the two elder ninja had happened as something that was completely inevitable.

"All I've ever tried since Minato's death and having to take back the hat was too make sure the boy was seen as a hero to these people. Yet for all my best efforts in trying to do so, the village has wound up crushing the good boy I've known and started to transform him into something sinister." Hiruzen said in having tried throughout his 2nd reign to make the boy who he saw as his surrogate grandson live as close to a happy childhood as possible

"The only thing that can be done now Hiruzen is for a close eye to be kept on him, despite his chakra not being unlocked he shouldn't be underestimated. If anything he should be seen as prodigious, because he may not be as fast as his father was. But his strength, intellect and perceptiveness outstrip most of his peers by a far mile. So, adding to it that once his chakra is unlocked and he'll be something extraordinary." Danzo remarked at the fact that Gohan should have a close eye kept on him

"Even still, who should keep an eye on him is the better question? Seeing as how we still teams are being chosen this time around, and we can't simply have anyone watching over him." Hiruzen spoke knowing that with genin teams being chosen that the amount of high-class shinobi that could watch him were in short supply

"Regardless the boy needs to be watched over. Because with no real love for the village and any real ties to the village, then his chances of leaving the village or betraying it will skyrocket in time. Especially with him having become clearly self-reliant and self-sufficient." Danzo replied as he knew that with nothing to really tie him down then he would easily have reason to leave Konoha, and would do well for himself due to him having been shown to be quite self-sufficient

"Agreed. Hopefully when he graduates and makes it onto a genin team, that he'll be able to better foster bonds with his fellow genin and give him true ties to the village this way." Hiruzen said in hoping that once Gohan got onto a genin team that he'd be able to foster bonds with the villagers

That in mind more words were said between them before Danzo went on about his way to continue further management of ROOT, with Hiruzen feeling his age catch up to him as he only hoped that he'd be able to stem the growing darkness in the jinchuuriki's heart.

So then with the gamer having taken over Naruto's life and set upon the path of a Necromancer we see him focused on his path to power, for how will he go about accomplishing his goals. Well, you'll have to find out in the new chapters of A Necromancer's Path to Power.

Chapter 2

It was soon the month of April as Gohan had been hard at work in increasing his level in Necromancer having used his workhorse mentality to clear a bloody swath through the creatures that resided in the Forest of Death. So much so that he was close to reaching level 16 as he went nonstop in sending his hordes of Undead to attack those in his way, with him also having managed to use the cover of night and get rid of drunken villagers or genin and chunin that nobody would miss; with him taking using his knowledge of horror movies to act as a sort of pseudo serial killer.

With the necromancer not feeling any guilt about doing so since they were all cannon fodder in the end who were being put to better use in his growing horde of undead, as the only thing left on his agenda was to learn how to unlock chakra. Because the necromancer knew that even with his abilities of undeath that if he were to further succeed in his path to power then, unlocking his chakra would be a primary objective that needed to be completed.

(April 20th, 996 S.E, 2:10 Pm, Konoha)

It was 10 minutes after 2 as Gohan had decided to go to the library in order to get some books on unlocking chakra and knowing your chakra natures.

"Well, at least I'll be able to put this chakra issue out of my head for good now." Gohan thought as he went up to the librarian who gave him a dirty look

"What are you doing here?" The librarian questioned haughtily at the jinchuuriki

"I merely came here to check out a few books on chakra." Gohan answered back as to what he'd come here for

"I'm sorry but we're about to close." The librarian told him in an attempt to have him go away

"I checked your sign out front earlier and you don't close until 8:30 tonight. There's also the fact that it is not a holiday today." Gohan countered in having checked the times and dates and made sure to come in a way in which there wouldn't be a logical reason for her to turn him away

"Well, we're closing up early today…" The librarian tried to say but a hard look from Gohan cut her off

"Look you can make excuses all until Sunday, but that won't solve anything. So do yourself a favor and point me to where I can get my books or else." Gohan told her his sharp blue eyes staring at her with an almost haunting and sinister look in them

"Or..what are you going to do about it?" The librarian questioned before Gohan grabbed her by the shirt collar and brought her face to face with him

"What I'm going to do about it, is begin finding out where you live and while your sleeping choke you to death. Since this won't be a quick and painless death, no I'm going to wrap my hands around your throat and strangle you and I mean really strangle you as I take the grim pleasure in choking away your air supply and seeing your face go from red to blue and then to purple. So sure you can struggle in vain as you feel the blood vessels in your eyes pop like cherries, and you begin to choke on your vomit. But it'll all be in vain as I look you right in the face and watch the life drain from your eyes." Gohan answered back in vivid detail that made her stomach wrap itself in knots and her flesh break into a cold sweat

"So either you can give me what I want or the fate of me watching you die via my strangling you to death for my cruel entertainment happens, and I bury you in unmarked graves for your insolence." Gohan added as not once did he blink or look away from her or even raise his voice

"T-There in the 5th section, 3rd row. Y-you can't m-m-miss it." The librarian spoke as undaunting fear at the cold and merciless way he spoke combined with the look in his eyes that lacked any light of kindness was like looking into those of shark waiting to tear you to shreds

"Excellent now was that so hard." Gohan spoke as he let go of her shirt collar and straightened it back out so as not to draw attention

"Y-You're a m-monster." The librarian stuttered out

"No I just know what I want, and remember if you tell a soul about what happened I'll go to your house and bash your skull against the kitchen sink; until its a bloody pulp between my fingers. And believe I'll know if you so much as tell a single soul." Gohan told her as he walked away leaving a frightened librarian in his wake

Due to your having absolutely scared the living hell of someone who hates you, you've increased your CHA by 3 and leveled up your Intimidation skill.

"And that right there has made my day just a little bit better." Gohan thought as he whistled a merry tune

That in mind it didn't take too long for him to collect the books on chakra theory and chakra natures and check them out with the, obviously frightened librarian who he had look him in the face and continue his straight-faced look towards her in order to keep her compliance. With that out of the way he soon returned to the Forest of Death which had in these 6 months become his residence, as he soon spent the next few hours reading the books with undivided attention; as he had used Create Undead to make a zombie horde set up a perimeter so as to make sure he remained undisturbed.

Once he finished reading he soon understood what he needed to do and began to focus on what was needed to in theory unlock his chakra pool, as Gohan sat down and took a deep breath and began concentrating focusing on both the mental aspects of his mind and his physical vitality and bringing them together as one. With him feeling both the physical and mental coming together until a feeling like a dam bursting and releasing a mighty flood spread through his body, as soon enough a shockwave of azure-colored chakra erupted from his body and briefly formed into a skull shape before dissipating.

Once that was done he took out a slip of paper and sent his newfound chakra into it to see what he was capable of, with it split in half before each half started to shred itself as the pieces on his right burst into flames while the one on his left half soon became damp. With Gohan looking in satisfaction at his newly awakened chakra pool before looking up at the new messages that had come from his unlocking his chakra, while a wide smile came across his face.

Congratulations you've now unlocked your chakra. Your chakra pool is your INT X VIT X 10. With Chakra regeneration equaling WIS + INT per 5 seconds.

Due to unlocking your chakra a new trait has been unlocked.

Endurance of the Spirals

(Thanks to unlocking your chakra you've unlocked one of the trademarked physical traits of the Uzumaki. Which is there incredible stamina and life force. Your currently Vitality is now doubled.)

You now gain the following affinities

Fire Affinity: Level 1: (0%)

You now have access to the primary element that is associated with destructive jutsu. With this affinity you can use mid to long range incendiary attacks to burn your enemies

2% more damage with Fire jutsu

2% less cost with Fire jutsu

Water Affinity: Level 1 (0%)

You now have access to the element whose versatility in defense is just as great as it is in offense. With this element, you can draw upon water to crush your enemies with pressurized bursts, jets and streams of water

2% more damage with Water Jutsu

2% less cost with water jutsu

Wind Affinity: Level 3 (0%)

Due to this being your primary affinity this will always start at levels higher than your secondary and tertiary affinities. This offensive element uses jutsu to shred and cut into enemies with pressurized or vacuum-like blade of wind or using wind to slam in it through sheer pressure.

6% more damage with Wind Jutsu

6% less cost with Wind Jutsu

"Alright with that out of the way and everything getting a better boost overall. I think I can do with upgrading my overall necromantic abilities, especially Ray of Death." Gohan thought as he upgraded Ray of Death

Ray of Death +1

(Cost 200 MP)

The upgraded form of Ray of Death now deals 250 points of Necrotic Damage dealt

"I may not be able to use it like a machine gun anymore, but damn if this won't help more." Gohan thought as he looked over more of his abilities

"Looks like Drain Life and Corpse Bomb can do with an upgrade." Gohan added as he upgraded the two abilities and smiled at what they were now

Corpse Bomb +1

You're undead due to this upgraded ability now deal out 180 plague damage

Drain Life +1

Cost 150 MP

This ability now drains 250 HP per cast and if this ability is used as a killing blow, you can still one random stat point from a victim that will be put into your stats at random.

"Now then let's look at the new abilities and see if they're worth upgrading now or hold off for later on." Gohan mused as he looked over his new set of abilities

Ray of Enfeeblement

110 MP Cost

When you hit this target with this spell they become weak and feeble. Prevents HP from refilling and Vitality is reduced by 1 quarter until lifted

Sanguine Javelins

Cost 80 MP per Cast

You use necromantic energy and draw forth from the blood of the fallen to create spears of tainted blood to attack your enemies. You create 1 javelin per 10 points of INT with each javelin dealing 65 points of necrotic damage

"Well, I'm sure that Sanguine Javelins can do with a boost since I can use all the help I can get." Gohan thought to himself as he upgraded the spell

Sanguine Javelins +1

Cost 440 MP per Cast

With the now upgraded version of this spell, you create 2 javelins per 10 points of INT with each javelin dealing 210 points of necrotic damage

"Well my Sanguine Javelins may not take up a huge chunk of my mana, but at least I'll have a heavy hitter." Gohan thought as he was content with his newly upgraded necromantic abilities

"Now then time to do some training with my new chakra." Gohan spoke as he went off to train up in doing chakra control

(2 weeks later, Konoha, 2:34 Pm, May 6th, 996 S.E)

It was 2 weeks later since Gohan had unlocked his chakra and had started doing chakra control exercises, which due to their requiring constant focus had started raising his wisdom stat, with it having gone up by 2 and while it was slow progress it was nevertheless still progress.

"Well at least can take a break from power leveling," Gohan spoke feeling as though his nonstop grinding deserved a needed break

"As finally, I can enjoy this nice day out." Gohan thought as he continued a stroll throughout the village

With him continuing his walk until he neared a spring which caused him to stop with what caused him to stop being none other than Anko Mitarashi who began stripping out of her trench coat, mesh top and skirt so as to start sunbathing and begin working on a tan. So with Gohan having the body of a hormonal almost 15-year-old, he decided to do what any teenager would do in his situation and proceed to look at the violet haired bombshell, as who was he to pass up on the golden opportunity to see a n.a.k.e.d and smokin' hot woman.

Since call him a pervert all you want for taking the golden opportunity to peep on Anko, but after having to deal with dumbass villagers who hated his guts and power leveling so that he could grow his undead hordes; that he deserved this. With it being that he was so caught up in peeping on her that he didn't notice her chocolate brown eyes soon focus in on him with a predatory look on them, as it was in a burst of movement that he could barely track that she was soon behind him.

"Oh f.u.c.k me sideways." Gohan cursed as he soon began dumping 15 points into his DEX stat which raised it from the 25 it was from the months of power leveling to 40 in knowing he'd need it

"Well, aren't you the kinky little shit, and a naughty one for having come and peep on me." Anko spoke as the necromancer tried extremely hard not to look at him

"In my defense, your one of the most gorgeous women in Konoha, so excuse me for wanting to see one of the best things about the village." Gohan replied since from his view Anko was one of the most beautiful girls on Naruto who he thought was a shame that she got little screen time

"You actually mean it, as how do I know your not saying that, to buy yourself time to escape?" Anko questioned with a raised brow

"Because I'd be a complete and utter idiot to deny the fact that you practically blow everyone out of the water in Konoha with how absolutely gorgeous you are. Since the only one who is even comparable to you in beauty would be Tsunade herself and even then in my personal opinion is she overrated." Gohan spoke turning to look her in the eye and he'd be a damned liar if he didn't say she was extremely s.e.xy

(+5 Affection with Anko Mitarashi, for making a genuine compliment towards her)

"Well its nice to know a perverted brat like you, knows what a real woman like when he sees one." Anko chuckled in thinking it was nice that the teenage necromancer would genuinely compliment her

"If there's one thing I'm not is a liar, because like I said why would I lie to one of the most gorgeous women in all of the village." Gohan responded as he was thankful for having enough restraint to help him keep focused on Anko's face and not stare at her rather generous assets

"You know I'm surprised that for a perverted brat that you haven't stared at my tits this whole time." Anko spoke with a teasing grin as she soon started bending down to let Gohan get a full view of her large firm b.r.e.a.s.ts

"The one time I get to see a n.a.k.e.d woman since I got here, and its with one who can kill me." Gohan thought to himself

No one forced you to peep on Anko, this is your own fault. So deal with the consequences for being caught.

"Well f.u.c.k you too." Gohan said under his breath

"Anyways I don't hope this means that you could possibly let me go without a warning." Gohan hoped in that she'd let this slide

"Nice try there. But I'll make you a deal if you can evade me and whatever I send at you till half-past 3 then I'll let it slide and let you have the honor of taking the awesome and s.e.xy Anko on a date." Anko told him as a compromise

Quest opened

Keep away from a sadist

Evade and defend yourself from Anko and whatever she throws at you until 3:30 Pm.

Succeed: Gain 3,300 XP, +10 Affection with Anko Mitarashi, +3 to DEX and CHA.

Failure: -10 Affection with Anko, possible beatdown from Anko, and 500 XP

Accept (Y/N)

"You're on Anko, and to make it more interesting, as how about we start this in the Forest of Death." Gohan spoke in knowing that this would give him a home-field advantage

"Oh, you want to make it that kind of a challenge. I swear I like you already, your on." Anko spoke as he gained a plus 3 affection for having the guts to do it in the Forest of Death

That in mind Gohan decided to use Bayrok's to provide ranged cover and support against Anko but with explicit orders to only wound and not kill, as the teenage necromancer was ready for whatever the s.e.xy sadist had to throw at him. With him having soon heard a loud hissing noise and turned to see a large python with mottled beige and forest green scales that had golden colored eyes look at him predatorily, before it lunged at him with its fangs bared.

With Gohan ordering his Bayrok's to open fire on the large snake with each Bayrok's arrow dealing 35 damage which combined with their numbers were making short work of the serpent, which after taking so much damage as Gohan decided to fire two shots of his upgraded Ray of Death revealed it as a summon. Evident by after the two beams of deep emerald necrotic energy struck it after being peppered with arrows it disappeared in a burst of smoke, with Gohan knowing that he'd have to be on further guard against Anko in knowing that this wouldn't be the end of it.

For he had to order his Bayrok's to get out of the way as Anko fired off a Fire Release: Dragon Flame Jutsu that scorched 6 of his Bayrok's leaving him with 13 left, as the necromancer soon made a break for it as he had 8 of his Bayrok's stay behind and provide cover fire to keep Anko pinned down. Meanwhile, he and the other 5 Bayrok's soon made a break for it while the others continued laying down suppressive fire, for Gohan was merely happy that he managed to put some distance between him and Anko.

"Well, at least I managed to get some distance between me and Anko." Gohan thought to himself

"Now all I got to do is find a place to have as cover, while the other Bayrok's keep her distracted," Gohan spoke as he continued to run off into the forest while having his 5 Bayrok's keep a perimeter around her

With him barely having found a place to take cover behind and hide out from Anko who he assumed had had enough of being shot with arrows courtesy of his Bayrok's evident when he soon heard a small boom as a firestorm soon erupted where they were. For the teenage necromancer knew full well that if Anko was busting out a fire jutsu that could cause what was essentially a localized yet widespread enough immolation, then he knew he couldn't take this lightly as he had.

Which was why he had used Create Undead twice more and used it to summon forth Totenhund's which took the form of rottweiler like hounds with rotting flesh covering their bodies, yet they remained deadly with their sharpened claws, razors like teeth and reddish magenta-colored eyes. With him giving the order to go after Anko as they all let out furious barks and howls before dashing off after their quarry, with Gohan knowing that it'd be enough to buy him time as he made a break for it in one of the caves within the Forest of Death.

With him hiding within the depths of the cave and focused on just staying as quiet and still as possible and during his travels to the cave covered himself in mud, wood-ch.i.p.s and sawdust in order to mask his scent, as all he had to do now was hide out while the remaining Bayrok's and Totenhund's kept Anko busy enough for him to complete the quest. For he felt that with the distractions he set up with the Bayrok's and Totenhund's that he was at the moment in the clear, as he decided that since he did all that he could to have evaded Anko and set himself up well enough in the Forest of Death that he was in the practical clear.

For he decided to crack open a book on wind affinity and manipulation, after all he knew that if he was going to become anything close to powerful in this world that while his necromancy was a fantastic asset to have; that he'd also have to grow his skills in other areas as well. Therefore he proceeded to wait out the remainder of the time while Anko dealt with his minions, with their being the smell of smoke as his undead burnt to ashes; but he wasn't concerned considering that he'd virtually won as he continued to read his book.

"Well then will you look at that its half past 3 already, and since Anko hasn't found me I've won our little bet. Which means I get to go on a date with Anko." Gohan spoke as he dashed off to find Anko

With him having soon found a panting Anko with scratches and bite wounds from the Totenhund's and having taken some arrows from the Bayrok's, with their being tears in her trench coat and even her mesh armor revealing generous amounts of cleavage.

"Well looks like I won our bet." Gohan said with a smug smile on his face

"I don't know what you did, but I won't lie when I say that it was pretty cool." Anko replied as she had to admit that those summons that Gohan used were pretty awesome

"Thank you, as there something I've had the great opportunity of working on. Well, that among other things I'm capable of." Gohan spoke as he wasn't lying when he said he'd been working on this for a very long time

"So would you mind telling me about it?" Anko asked as Gohan let out a small chuckle

"We can perhaps talk about it on that date I have with you in the future," Gohan answered back

"You've got yourself a deal, and I look forward to it Gohan." Anko spoke with a teasing grin of her own

"Excellent. By the way, what are you gonna do about the fires you've caused?" Gohan questioned pointing to the slowly dying down flames

"Don't worry about that, as I have some friends that owe me some favors. So that'll take care of itself in no time." Anko answered back in having sent one of her summon's to get some people who knew water jutsu to help put out the fire

"Alright anyways I will see you in..let's say two weeks from now." Gohan spoke thinking that it'd be a good enough time period

"Sounds good enough for me, and I'll see you later then." Anko replied with a flirtatious wink

You've completed Keep Away from a Sadist

You've earned 3,300 XP, +10 Affection with Anko Mitarashi, + 3 DEX and CHA.

"Dang it just a couple hundred more and I would've leveled up." Gohan cursed to himself at the fact that he was shy of 600 XP away from leveling

Be grateful that you gained as much XP as you did. Since your lucky to have survived as well and as long as you did against her.

"Well, I can't argue with that, as with all that I've gained I shouldn't get too greedy. Anyways at least I've started on my way to getting with Anko." Gohan thought in knowing that he shouldn't get greedy with what he's rewarded, lest it blow up in his face later

"Anyways let's see how much money I have for my eventual date with Anko, as my selling all of these pelts and blankets, and all of the meat I've gained from loot drops, and what not should be earning me quite a good deal." Gohan spoke in seeing that thanks to his having done fur trading with merchants that have been coming around he had 12,100 Ryo

"Alright, Anko looks like I've got enough to take you out on a nice date." Gohan thought to himself with a smile on his face

(2 weeks later, Konoha, 6:48 Pm, May 22nd, 996 S.E)

It was 2 weeks later as Gohan would soon meet up with Anko at a Dango stand which he didn't mind doing so at all, as it gave him time to read more books on chakra manipulation, and one on jutsu creation.

"You sure love to read." Anko remarked as she saw Gohan reading up on jutsu creation

"Well considering that besides the stupid academy, I have an abundance of free time. So besides hunting and such in my home, I also like to read often." Gohan replied as he did develop a love of reading considering that the necromancer in him wanted to consume as much knowledge as possible

"I forget that you're an academy student, then again with how strong you are, you could pass for a Chunin." Anko remarked as she ordered herself some dango

"Thank you for the complimen, because unlike most people in my generation. I take training myself quite seriously." Gohan responded in having constantly made sure to power level himself so he could crush his enemies without fail

"Since unlike everyone else I want to make sure I'm prepared for anything that comes my way, which is why during the two weeks leading up to our date I made you this. Since I knew that if you ever went out on missions that you'd get cold at night." Gohan spoke as he reached into his backpack he made from dire wolf leather and tanned dire grizzly hide

With that, he pulled out a neatly folded up blanket made of dire wolf and tiger fur, with Anko being impressed at how soft and well put together it was.

"You went out of your way to make this for me?" Anko questioned as she took the blanket

"Of course, as I wanted to make you something that could also be a gift that could put the incident that had me meet you in the first place behind us." Gohan answered back as he didn't only do it to gain a bit more affection towards Anko but he also wanted to do something nice as well

"I think I'll have to let you peep on me more, if it means I get nice gifts like these." Anko joked as she loved the new present she was gifted

"Put a pin in that for later, because by the time I've won you over we'll be able to get to all the good stuff later." Gohan casually replied, gaining a flirtatious look on the sadist's face

"Oh really now, and you really think you could handle me? As I don't want to burst your bubble, but not even the supposed elite of this village could handle me." Anko asked she leaned over to Gohan who was still reading his book

"So what makes you think you could handle me if we ever got in the sack with one another?" Anko added with a teasing smirk on her face that held minor hints of l.u.s.t in wanting to see it she could make the necromancer sweat

"Because Anko unlike them I have actual drive and willpower on my side, and I'm committed to seeing things through to the end and last time I checked I'm no quitter. So if we ever do start fooling around, the one thing I have to say is bringing it the hell on. Since I'm better than all the others you've been with by a wide margin." Gohan answered back with complete assuredness in the fact that he was without a doubt superior to all the other men Anko was with

(+8 Affection to Anko Mitarashi for not only giving her a nice gift but for also not caving in and acting with actual confidence)

"Well thank you to having over 30 charisma." Gohan thought to himself

"It's nice to see that someone has the balls enough to crack when I actually play around with them, as you should see some of these d.i.c.kless idiots. Since they think that because I'm the supposed 'Snake Whore' that I'm easy to get with, but they can't even handle some flirting and teasing on my end and wind up red-faced. Which makes for great blackmail considering that they may talk a big game, but nearly every time I put them to the test they crack like cheap glass." Anko spoke considering that the men of Konoha talked a big game of how they'd rock her world and make the snake s.l.u.t squirm, but when she flipped it back on them they'd become tongue-tied and red-faced

"Well, that's where you've been going wrong. You've been dealing with f.u.c.k-boys your whole life, but... you'll no longer have to worry about that should you and I get together." Gohan responded while trying to make himself seem as least like a douche as possible while saying that and was thanking the System that it was working

"And you know how to? Since you're still going through puberty and in the academy no less." Anko said with a chuckle yet Gohan remained straight-faced

"That's the thing I may be an almost 15 year old, but still I'm more driven than most and focused than the hard majority of the people here. Since I not only work myself to almost exhaustion training to be the best. In addition I also no what I want and how to get it, on top of the fact that I have the power to back up everything I say and or do. In short, unlike most people I know what I'm after. So I know that if I had the chance that I can do right by you far better than what anyone else in the village can." Gohan responded with all the confidence his now 36 Charisma would allow

Suffice to say his words were able to get Anko's attention and have her look at the teenage necromancer with interest, at the confidence and conviction with which he spoke to her in a way that the men beforehand hadn't. Because to Anko Mitarashi she found a level of interest in the boy who was barely into his mid-teens at not only the focus he demonstrated but also the amount of confidence and conviction in which he spoke, in which the former student of Orochimaru found quite attractive if she were to be honest with herself.

"Alright, I'll make a deal with you. When you can graduate from the academy and not be the dead last of your class with a headband on your head, then I'll consider dating you. After all, if you have the drive and initiative you say you do; then it won't be too hard to see you graduate at the top of the class." Anko said in making a wager with the necromancer

"You, my good lady have yourself a deal." Gohan replied with a knowing grin on his face as he saw a message pop up but ignored it as he was too busy with Anko

That in mind the two continued to share quite a good time with him enjoying her excitable and rather cheery nature, while Anko found Gohan's confidence and intense amount of drive to be the best in his chosen fields rather charming.

"I still have to say that I'm impressed with how driven you are. Because to go as far as to start making jutsu at your age is nothing short of incredible." Anko said as she was impressed that the teenager beside her was already working on creating jutsu

"Well with the village treating me like shit for my whole life, I've had high expectations of myself to be the greatest version of myself. That way whenever they look at me or try to go after me, I can face them and show that I am downright indestructible compared to all of them." Gohan spoke since it there was one thing that would be a holdover from his past life, it would be that he would never allow himself to be pushed around and would make himself down near indestructible to do so

"Trust me I can relate to that; since you aren't the only one that's been scorned by the village." Anko replied as she rubbed her neck as painful memories sifted through her mind

"Well, you know what I say, who cares what the village thinks. Since all I know at the current moment is that I'm here with a gorgeous woman." Gohan spoke making Anko smile at the flattering words

"Keep talking like that and I'll give you a nice surprise one of these days," Anko replied with a flirtatious wink aimed at the necromancer

"I'll hold you to that, and if you ever want more stuff like your blanket. Or when I get real good higher quality gifts and in the near future some new jutsu then please feel free to come to me." Gohan told her as he was happy to do things such as this for Anko

"And I'll hold you to that since this is really great quality." Anko spoke happy with her new blanket

"Thank you." Gohan responded thankful that Anko liked the blanket

That in mind there date continued onwards with them sharing a few laughs and them walking out on the warm spring night and just enjoying Konoha at nighttime when it was peaceful before they said their farewells to each other and went on about their separate ways.

(2 days later, May 24th, 996 S.E, 3:09 Pm, The Academy)

It was soon a Tuesday afternoon as another day had ended at the Academy which Gohan was thankful for since it meant that he could go about growing stronger and increasing his hordes much faster, that was until Iruka wanted to speak to him for some odd reason.

"Gohan would you mind staying after class?" Iruka requested of the necromancer

"Sure Iruka-sensei as what do you need from me." Gohan wondered as he ignored the students who thought he was in trouble

"It's about how you've been acting this past semester." Iruka spoke causing the teenage gamer to tilt his head inquisitively

"But I thought that I was doing much better. Since I've been improving my grades, I've stopped causing trouble in class and have improved my skills in the sparring matches with everyone. So if I am in trouble for something then I don't see what for?" Gohan responded because all he's done is improve by leaps and bounds than what his other iteration would've ever been capable of

"With the exception of the broken arm you gave Kiba months ago, then you are not in trouble...anymore that is." Iruka spoke still remembering the day in which Gohan broke Kiba's left arm

"I told him to quit bothering me. Honestly, that's what that mutt gets for making fun of me for having been homeless. I swear I should've cracked his skull open like a walnut so he'd be out for the whole year." Gohan replied with the last bit more to himself as he detested Kiba

Because if there was a pet peeve to the necromancer it was having to repeat himself to others, and when the Inuzuka had him constantly keep repeating himself when he wouldn't stop among the others who'd bother and ridicule him. So he took matters into his own hands when he sparred with the Inuzuka and not only did he beat him with his superior hand to hand skills and higher strength at the time, but broke his legs so as to leave him with a permanent reminder of what happened when you continued to piss him off.

"Besides, he got what he deserved being a dumbass mutt and all. At least he'll learn his place for trying to f.u.c.k with me." Gohan added as he had a zero-tolerance policy for anyone pushing him around

"Gohan while I'm proud of you for your improvements in class, I and the Hokage have grown concerned with your overall attitude changes." Iruka said as he personally he was growling slightly fearful of Gohan's new personality traits

"Yet the Hokage couldn't have come to me with these concerns. Because if he were so concerned about it as you say he is, then he would've called me to his office, and talked with me about it himself. But instead, he had you be the middle man because the man thinks so little of me like everyone else does." Gohan replied his blue eyes locked onto the Chunin who seemed unnerved by the almost sinister and predatory look they held

"It's not like that at all Gohan." Iruka spoke yet the necromancer remained unconvinced

"Isn't it Iruka-sensei. Because I see absolutely nothing wrong with how I'm acting. If anything I thought that you'd want me to change more than anyone else, as now I'm no longer a nuisance to you or anyone else in the classroom. Since now I'm finally acting like the soldier I'm being trained to become, if anything I should be an example of how a 'proper' ninja should act." Gohan countered as the fact that their his tone of voice remained even and calm during this exchange unnerved Iruka more and more

"So besides my acting more my age and more maturely. Tell me how my attitude is concerning because the last time I checked I'm not here to make friends. Instead, I'm here to earn my headband and become a soldier like everyone before me." Gohan added as he wasn't here to make friends as he was here to complete his objectives and stay the course to his path to power

"But I thought that you'd made some friends, as what about Shikamaru and Shino as I've seen you talk with them a few times." Iruka spoke in having seen the necromancer talk with the two in passing

"Because they're the only two here beside Sasuke I tolerate. With Shikamaru, I respect because he's one of the rare few that can match my own intellect and is a pretty chill guy, yet his severe laziness and lack of initiative infuriate me to no end. While Shino on the other hand I like because he actually leaves me alone, and oftentimes I do talk to him about insects and which ones he should add to his hive in order to increase its viability when he becomes a shinobi. Other than that I don't really concern myself with anyone else, because the amount of people I tolerate or even like is far outstripped by the people I hate." Gohan responded with the exception of Sasuke who was the closest thing to a rival he had here, then Shikamaru and Shino were the only two he tolerated or even came close to even liking

"I didn't know you felt that way." Iruka said having felt a bit guilty that as his teacher he didn't look more into things concerning Gohan

"Of course you didn't, because no one ever cares what I felt until I stopped being a happy little dipshit with a never say die smile on his face. But now that I'm actually turning into something superior to all these maggots, that now you choose to worry about how I feel...spare me your semantics." Gohan replied as Iruka could only internally flinch in knowing of Gohan's growing up till now

Since he'd seen firsthand the hardsh.i.p.s that Gohan had to endure and knew that he had willpower in spades even with his more menacing changes, which was why he had grown a great deal of respect for him not only improving in the Academy but also for having started his growing side business.

"Regardless if my attitude is the only thing that you and the Hokage have a problem with, then I'm afraid I see no reason to change. Especially since I'm merely acting like I would for when I go into the real world, because the village has stripped me of any illusion that the real world is a kind place in any capacity." Gohan added as the necromancer knew full well that the world of Naruto and with the game told him it was going to be a grittier version of what it was canon knew that it was going to be a very harsh and cruel reality and that was something that as a necromancer he'd thrive in

"Gohan I…" Iruka tried to say but those intense blue eyes stopped him

"Iruka-sensei I don't care, because unless the next words are my being the Rookie of the Year and my getting a headband then I don't want to hear another word from you. For you will mark my words that I will become something far superior than every single person here, and if I have to step on them until their broken piles of shit ground under my heel...then so be it. For nothing and no one will get in the way of what is rightfully mine. " Gohan replied and all the while killing intent rose forth from him to the point where it was strong enough to hold Iruka in place and hold him silent

"So seeing how you have nothing left to say to me, I'll be on my way...but one other thing to say Iruka-sensei is stay out of my path to being something great in this village. Otherwise...well let's just say that you'll be very intimate with no longer being able to breathe, so have a nice day and don't bother me unless its something important." Gohan told him with a cruel grin on his face while his eyes in that brief moment flashed a crimson red as a final burst of killing intent was enough to make Iruka grip his chest with fear as his student walked away

'That boy is a monster.' Iruka thought to himself as for the first time in his teaching career he actually felt afraid of one of his students

With our necromancer starting a relationship with Anko in a most unusual way, and his continued growth in becoming a soon to be master of undeath; things are looking up for him. But will they continue to do so, well you'll have to find out in the new chapters of A Necromancer's Path to Power.
