An information network 1/2

[Kei Uzumaki's POV]

Months passed by as I continued my everyday routine, making small adjustments to it over time. Jin got back to doing missions around 2 months ago. And ever since my training has been done by myself or when I was training Naruto who started doing it by himself as well.

I hadn't yet completed my own personal creation, as progress was gradual. It truly showed just how challenging creating a jutsu from scratch truly was. Then again, I knew from the manga that creating a Jutsu by modification of a preexisting technique took at least 2 years just by what Kakashi said.

Creating an entirely original Jutsu would be at least 4 times harder. As such, I took to modifying some Jutsu as I worked on my own creation.

Creating a stronger Kudan (air bullets) or Reppusho (gale palm) was pretty easy. Adding extra chakra to the Reppusho was all that was required to make a Tatsusho (Tornado palm). It was much the same for the Kudan, but you changed its speed to be 5 times faster. This was what created a Tatsudan (Tornado bullet).

As for what I was doing right now, well, I was shopping for supplies and also observing for anyone I could potentially use for my next few plans.

One of which was getting a network of information set up, and to do this, I chose not to use Kage Bunshin's for it. Instead, I opted for a more discrete strategy, and that was to gain allies in the underworld by becoming an ally to them.

After that, are the beginning stages of phase 2 since phase 1 is in the process of being completed.

I picked up a box of nutrient filled cereal that was tailored towards those who required more energy for the day ahead of them.

This isn't relevant, but breakfast is considered the most important meal of the day, and for good reasons, too.

For starters, breakfast provides us with much needed nutrients that help get us through the day.

These include glucose, which increases energy levels and alertness. Calcium, which helps the nervous system send signals as such it helps our muscles move as well. Vitamin B or pyridoxine, which helps our normal immune system. Iron, which helps our haemoglobin carry oxygen from the lungs.  It also contributes to myoglobin, which carries oxygen to our muscles.

It breaks the overnight fasting period we go through as well.

Breakfast is highly important, and the box in my hand contains everything I just talked about and then some. As there are other nutrients in this world, one needs to help their chakra pathway system.

Ah, yes, similar to our cardiovascular system, which helps blood get from one place to the other. Our bodies in this world contain a system that directs chakra in our body throughout it, and as such, chakra required has its own nutritional requirements.

Some of these are the same as most of our bodies, but chakra requires another 2 Vitamin's. Vitamin M and Vitamin Q are prime examples of this.

Wait, why did I distract myself with such a thing?

My thought process ceased and began taking note of information.

2 men came in both wearing clothes that made them pretty inconspicuous looking. My ears started to listen in as I put the aforementioned 2 boxes of the cereal I mentioned in a wooden basket.

I then walked over to the opposite side of the aisle I was in as this one contained both bread and cereal. I picked one that contained more nutrition based value.

*Image goes here*

So Shiro's good for tonight?" The brown haired one just up and asked in all confidence that nobody would listen in.

"Yeah, he's good." The other one answered with conviction.

I kept an eye on them as I walked down the aisle.

"Right, so we gonna find Kakeru's Killer after all then." He said as a matter of fact. His words told me that there was unequivocally more than meets the eye with them.

"Right." The other one spoke before the two began chatting normally.

I first paid for my items and then left. I went into my Kazenami Henge as I made my way into my house, placing everything away with practised ease. Then, leaving after making sure that Naruto was studying.

Right time to make my move.

A/N Split into 2 parts as the next part is going to start diving into much darker themes as for the first time Kei will be committing an extremely cruel act.
