It had been 3 weeks since Rudra started to train with the Might Guy. And these 3 weeks can be summed up in one word. Hellish Torture.
Waking up at 4 am every day to train and doing it until you drop dead, resurrecting and doing it again until the day is over.
While the last 3 weeks were undoubtedly the hardest 3 weeks of his life, the results were impressive to say at least or according to Might Guy, "I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE ELSE'S YOUTH SHINE SO BRIGHT. YOU ARE EPITOPE OF YOUTH!!" (CLASSIC MIGHT GUY THUMBS UP POSE)
His new stats looked somewhat like this.
Name: Rudra D. Ōtsutsuki
Age: 16
Chakra: At the level of chunin exams Sakura/Ino
Physical Strength: Barely made it to Chunin, Just Barely
Haki: Observation Haki (Basic Stage), Armament Haki (Unawakened), Conqueror's Haki (Unawakened)
Overall Verdict: A somewhat decent genin (You need help)
His physical body saw the most change, followed by his chakra which rose in tandem with his physical strength. As for the Observation Haki, he felt it was something like a combination of Byukugan and Sharingan.
Starting at around 1 meter of him, he can practically see everything. And track everyone's movements and read it to a very small margin. By using it continuously, he was able to raise the limit to 3 meters.
According to the system, it was related to something called spirit energy. It rose along with his body and from repeated use of Haki.
As for chakra, it was still as useless as ever. He can run on the trees and water with it now though, which is something he found really cool.
The other benefit of the last 3 weeks was he was able to collect a lot of information about this era.
While the new information broke a lot of his adventuring dreams, he knew if he wanted to fulfil his ambitions and make a better world, he had to Improvise, adapt, and overcome the circumstances.
That's what he planned on doing, today being the first step, by meeting with the Uchiha Itachi.
--------------------------------
Itachi looked at the weird man who was sitting in front of him he encountered a day before.
After seeing himself, that guy practically ran up to him and started shaking his hand with fervour while shouting weird things like, 'My 2nd favourite Uchiha, You Brocon, Best brother ever, King of flex, I'm a big fan, let me give you hug, etc.'
Unable to make heads or tails of the person in front of him, he did what any sane person would do and ignored him and started walking away.
"Hey Itachi Uchiha!! Be my son!!!"
Itachi: ??????
"If become my son I'll tell you how to help your clan and stop the thing!!!" Itachi's pupils narrowed as they turned into sharingan as he glared at the dude in front of him.
"What do you know?! Tell me everything or there will be consequences." Despite being only 11 years old, Itachi was a prodigy. He had already killed a lot of people and recently joined the AMBU.
So when he glared at people, they tended to fold quickly under pressure. But not this guy, if anything the look he gave him was the one of pity.
"If you want to find out everything, come to this address tomorrow. Better be ready to find some shocking things." After saying so, the dude walked away after passing him a paper with the address written on it.
That brought him to today, where he found himself sitting in front of the weird person.
--------------------------------
Looking at the 11-year-old Itachi in front of him, Rudra felt nothing but pity for the genius, brainwashed by the adults, made to do horrendous things and under pressure he ended up killing his whole family before dying at his brother's hand.
He lived a pitiful life from beginning to end. And he was not about to let that happen in front of his eyes, not if he can help it. The system was also in support of him.
{New Mission: Save the Uchiha Clan. The founding clan of the Hidden Leaf has been marginalised from their own village and is on the verge of extinction. Help Itachi save his clan and steer them in the right direction.}
{Mission Reward: Unlocks Armament Haki}
With motivation from the system, he was fired up to change the fate of this pitiful boy and his entire clan.
"So kid, have you decided to become my son after all?" Rdura grinned at the boy who growled in response.
"Don't joke with me!! I'm not a kid and I'm not here for this kind of bullshit either!! Tell me everything you know, NOW!!" Itachi glared at him with his Sharingan.
"Woah woah woah, no need to be so serious okay? I know everything, about your two-timing with the Hokage and Fukaku, your clan's plan to stage a coup, etc. I also know how to stop it all ya know. To learn all this you just need to do one simple thing. Call me dad. That's it."
Itachi glared at the vile man sitting in front of him. While he can easily put him under genjutsu and get everything out of him, he didn't want to resort to that. He, in the end, was a good boy after all.
"Dad!! Now tell me everything. And if you are wasting my team here I swear to Kami there will be one more missing person in the village today." If looks can kill, Rudra would have died several times by the look of pure anger that Itachi was giving him.
While shitting his pants in his mind, he put on a brave front, and patted his chest, "Don't worry, if you don't like the solution I've provided I'll commit seppuku myself."
"Now let's start analysing, shall we? Let's start from..."
