3 Displacement

News quickly spread through the city and throughout the whole country about his parents' death.

The death of Nara clan members outside the Hidden Village of Leaves have caused quite a stir in both the general public and the politics of the Fire Country.

However, with the higher ups of both the Fire Country and the Leaf adamant in preserving peace away from panic, in a matter of weeks, the matter was settled as an act of a bounty hunter.

No one was really aware of the true reason for this event, but since the Nara clan members weren't really that prominent in both the clan and the village, and they weren't shinobi, so the matter quickly cooled down in less than a month.

As for Yami, since he was the only living member of the family, and since he was technically a Nara, he was quickly escorted to the village only 3 days after that gruesome experience.

Their wealth was also technically absorbed back into the clan, but since in name the will of their properties and money was to him, they decided to keep them until he came of age.

And now, Yami was now living alone within the Nara district of the village, inside his personally-owned house.

"They barely left me anything at all huh, they weren't even ninjas, so that's why their deaths didn't cause much stir"

Since his parents weren't ninjas, they only left money and property rights to their business back in the fire capital, although all of that was to be kept by thr Nara Clan higher ups up until his maturity.

No ninjutsu, taijutsu, no nothing. With his abhorrent personality of extreme apathy, he only cared about what his parents left him.

Even in the past three years of living with them, he could only pretend to love them. He didn't particularly disliked them, but at the same time, he didn't care about them enough to like them. It was just his normal treatment of others, even to his biological parents.

"Why should I love them? when technically they aren't my real imprinted parents"

Yami's approach to this relationship was cruel and straightforward. Although no one can really blame him since he got reincarnated here with his past memories intact.

The previous ruler of earth, that is right, he once ruled the whole world as the shadow monarch. What that means is that he ruled the world in the shadows, the public didn't know about his existence, not even the supposed presidents and Royals of the countries subject under him knew of his real identity, they only knew that he exists.

In his last moments, a cliche drama unfolded within his family during his last moments, well it wasn't supposed to be his last moment.

During a party with only the elites of the elites of the world, his son, whom he had half-trusted all his life, killed him in cold-blood, and after that, he proclaimed that he was now the ruler of the world.

For him, he already accepted that that was what he gets for trusting somebody, even if that person was his son, even though only half.

His son had planned an assasination event in the party where the drinks were poisoned, a maid was planted with bombs, the ceilings were gonna collapse, and more. Everywhere was a trap set by his ingrate son.

But at the end of the day, and ironically, he actually was already sick of being the most powerful man in the world.

He got tired of it, he didn't really care about the unknowing public, but still the stress of managing too much lands and people got to him. And eventually, he got so bored that he fired his defense officers, the people responsible for his safety in all situations, because he wanted to die at least epicly in the hands of criminals.

But in the end, he didn't expect that it was gonna be his son to do the deed. Well that betrayal is partly the reason why he barely batted an eye at his parents' death.

But one more thing was needed to be discussed. His powers.

Despite having no chakra, he had somehow gained an ability, the shadows.

"This surely puts me out of boredom"

Yami says as he looks at the shadow tentacles in front of him.

He had found out only two properties of this power of his.

One, it didn't require chakra, however it did require a clear mental image for its movements, meaning it uses mental energy. As after a while of using it, Yami's head starts to hurt.

Two, he could form any shapes, textures and sizes with this moldable shadow, essentially, its a versatile weapon and tool.

"Sword"

He utters a word and the dark shadows transformed into a sword of Medium-length. It was one of those European swords. However, the sword still looked black, there was no color nor textural distinction.

With this, his standing in this world had drastically changed. He wasn't sure of the limits of this ability, but one thing was sure, he was going to be extremely powerful.

A kekkei Genkai that requires no chakra? This is it, This is my own power, a power made from scratch, a power that rose from nothingness...

However, as of now, he was sure with his general knowledge of the story that revealing his powers prematurely will cause him his own demise.

And that is why he needed to be careful of using this power for now.

And as for his first kill in this world using his newfound powers? No one really questioned him what happened to that ninja. All they knew and assumed was that his parents killed the ninja prior to their death. Although they still weren't sire about that, and that is why they still continued secretly investigating.
