/.My bad I got Extremely lazy and almost forgot about this little side quest, so go ahead and un add to library to those who did. though I'll get on it more now. I suppose I should get back on the chair\
"What a waste of blood." I had been dragged away most of the care givers giving me a stern lecture on 'The demon brat' and why I should avoid him 'Oh well I guess I could always get some another way. Though they did blame the removal of the head care giver on Naruto, Whoops.'
It was hours later and I don't think the ANBU was watching anymore, Or at least I don't think so. Lunch was right around the corner so we were all out side. And the only ANBU I could see is the bear masked one. So maybe I'm not being watched right now.
The care givers had always pushed me to play with the children my age, It didn't always end they way they wanted. I usually sat down in the shade of the orphanage or under a tree connected by shade. The sun, Now my almost immortal enemy. Had somewhat actually hurt. If I stood any longer than thirty minutes without an umbrella or the smallest amount of mana covering me, Then I could get hospitalized for sunburn.
I managed to see how long I could go under the rays of the sun and suffice to say roughly thirty to forty minutes before burning ensues. That amount of time gives me a bit of le way to do, Something?
Walking back into the building I stopped close to the caregiver who was currently preparing the meal for the children still here. She was cutting some meat to put into a soup at this moment unknowing to my presence. With the slight telekinetic pull I developed in the last world I forced her hand to move the knife and cut her finger, Deep enough for the blood to spurt on the counter.
She swore then rushed off to to bandage her finger, I on the other hand swiped my finger on most of the blood, consuming most of it even though it wasn't very much. I had to leave before I was spotted. Though I do have to say she did have a different taste from the rat, More balanced? More tasteful? All in all it was better.
With an addition of 1.6% to the meter I walked back into the yard. And watched as one of the dumbass kids trip on nothing and fall. I smiled of course, Hiding my laughter behind my hand.
As much as this was an up side, Seeing annoying children fall and hurt them self's was somewhat always funny. Though the downsides AKA Danzo and the Hiruzen couple. I have no doubt that I'm now slightly in their crosshairs, Most likely cause several hours I did something I shouldn't be able to in this worlds standard. I guess I should plan an escape if something happens, More when something happens.
I had waited patiently, The low amount I require a benefit so far. With Dusk approaching I sat in the bed with the other children, Them all falling asleep as well as the caregivers.

I got up. It was probably around midnight, My vision being no help when the darkness of the night still just as bright as the mid day. My foot steps silent as I leave the building once more. This time I spotted an ANBU, The same ANBU that caught me drinking the rat like a Capri sun. And this time before anything I went completely out to the streets we made eye contact. And for a brief moment we stared one in confusion and the other in recognition. I waved, then continued walking.
This time I clearly both heard and smelt that same person following. 'Must be a clone'. I didn't look at The ANBU, After all I didn't want to stave and possibly go into a ravenous state. Wouldn't want to try and explain that. Not like what I'm about to do is any better either.
They could look at it as a kid staving enough to the point he has to do things themselves. Oh and there was my first target. Another rat in the alley way just about 20 feet away. I could see it eating something. With it's back turned away I got closer, My footsteps silent.
So far it hadn't moved, So just about five feet left I raised my hand towards it a blue mana wire extending just towards the right of it. I gave the wire just enough room to whip and deal a lethal blow and go unnoticed. Though some one was taking peculiar interest in what I was doing.
I could feel the eyes of the ANBU observing . It was weird having an extra sense or heightened senses. It's like I hadn't really had my eyes open. The wire Sliced through the neck of the rat, Leaving it headless. The same thing happened to the last one. I picked it up and over my face with the blood I could get out of it flowing into my mouth. The ANBU didn't move, So I looked for another one.

I Walked around the village once again spotting more ninjas and civilian. Night vision really does something for you. I went down another alley way, This time finding a women being harassed, Between two ninjas? The man seems drunk, Even though I couldn't see his face I could smell it. And by the looks of it was a chunin and Jonin.
I looked back the ANBU watching, Waiting for me to do something. At the same time it looked like they were already pulling out their kunai. I walked toward the Jonin my steps still silent even to me. Just right behind the man now and still hasn't notices me, Neither has the woman. Looking back at the dog masked ANBU There was only a slight tilt of the head, Making it more convincing that there was only a zoo of special forces in each villiage.
Mana string came from all the tips of my fingers slowly making their way toward the mans hands and legs. The women had glanced at them, Making the man loosen his grip on her arms and face his head to where she was looking. It was to late, I had already pulled to the ground different sections of each thread sprouting more threads further wrapping around the mad like what a spider would do.
My mana bar hadn't dipped so It must cost less then my regeneration just to wrap the Jonin. Though I could see some start to snap causing me to reinforce it. Now the bar was ticking down slowly.
The women now that the man wasn't blocking the way looked somewhat familiar. Black hair, Ruby red eyes and a strange attire gave a hint to who I was looking at. She looked like Kurenai. "Thank you." She said before her look changed to something sinister. "If you don't mind I'd like to borrow him for a minute." I merely shrugged but kept the threads on.
She flipped through hands signs whispering demonic illusion: hell viewing technique. I had no Idea what that did so I watched as the man tried to make hand signs to despel it only to be tugging on the threads. Then he passed out. "Let that also be a lesson to you if you do something similar." Her tone softened the proceeded to kick his ball while he was out and walk out of the alley way.
Oof ouch that's going to hurt in the morning. 'I just helped her and she told me off, Then she didn't even asked any questions on how a literal child could do any of this. Incompetent son of a-' I heard a step beside me and swiftly looked toward the noise.
The dog mask ANBU managed to sneak up on me, Looking down at me then the threads they knelt down their hand touching the threads. They pulled their hand back as if stung, Then proceeded to touch it again. I don't know what the dog doing but it seems he's interested in the solid mana.
Now I don't think they are going to do anything unless It's something truly bad, So I opened my mouth the fangs slowly coming further out and not coated. This of course caught the ANBU's attention, Though it was already a little to late for them to do anything when I plunged them into the Jonins shoulder.
'I have to say, This is way better than the rat and the tiny taste of the lady. This tasted like... fruits yes but like a smoothie this time around though the tang of alcohol a little weird. Will different levels of power affect the taste? It was almost sweet or sweeter than the other subjects.
I closed my eyes and took a few more mouth full and reaching 100%. with the last gulp of the red nectar I reached 103% and it gave me a stat boost.

"Sweet" I was ecstatic when reading the message. 'I guess this is still a system, Even though It's so much more difficult to deal with than It's Anime Counterpart.'
Though that wasn't the problem no more. Looking to my right The ANBU seemed to be staring at me before poofing out of existence. I didn't kill the man I know that much for sure so I know I'm not in any trouble. Dropping the man I walked out of the alley, the streets still as quiet as when I went in the alleys. There was no point of staying out here now That I was at a hundred.
I was home within fifteen minutes of walking avoiding the drunk men and the women working the corners. Yet I couldn't help but feel like something was going to happen in the near future. At the same time I didn't feel heavier after the amount of blood I drank, Which was something new. I guess I'm going to have to get used to the feeling of not needing sleep or not as much and the almost overwhelming amount sense I have now.
Somewhere underground: "Are you sure these reports are fact?" A dark shadow had placed down some documents on a desk right in front of them. "yes Lord Danzo, The Reports came from both ANBU dog and ANBU hawk. would you wish for one of us to observe as well?" A dark cloaked figure with a near blank animal mask was kneeling in front of Danzo.
"No, Hiruzen already had his ANBU set there. Might I add any of you being caught will be immediately killed." "Yes Danzo sama."
Danzo Flipped open the folder again looking at the report on a Two and a halve year old. 'How could I have missed something like this.' "Go retrieve Tatsu, I'll need to talk to him about choosing possible root candidates."
"Yes Danzo Sama."
