Competition with Naruto

Naruto and I played tag for 4 hours straight which made me realize a few things. One, my regeneration and blood control ability both are quite OP. While I was chasing naruto I tripped on a rock and fell, which caused a small cut on my knee.

What surprised me was that, even after the blood spilled out from the cut, I could still sense the blood as if it was still a part of my body. I tried to move the blood around and I actually succeeded.

The blood slowly moved in the direction I willed. I didn't try to control the blood anymore because I was in a public place and I didn't want to expose my secrets. So I decided to experiment with it later.

And another thing is that, with the help of my regeneration ability, it only took me a minute to completely heal the wound. My regeneration ability also slowly continues to regenerate my stamina no matter the situation. So, I don't have to worry about getting too tired.

The second thing I realized is, that Naruto is a freak. We ran continuously for 4 hours and he still looks energetic. I am sure that no other kids of our age can compare with Naruto in regards to stamina.

Of course, I am an exception because I have that cheat ability. He was also stronger and faster than me which didn't surprise me that much because I have not done any physical exercises yet.

My stomach started to rumble after all that running around.

"Hey Naruto, let's stop for now. I am kinda hungry let's go and get some food."

Naruto nodded his head. "I am also pretty hungry, but where are we going?"

"Where do you usually eat?"

"At ichiraku ramen."

I nodded my head. "Ok, let's go there."

After a couple of minutes, we arrived at the ramen shop. Teuchi the owner of the shop looked at Naruto and me. He kindly smiled when he saw Naruto happily talking with me.

"Welcome back to the shop, Naruto."

He pointed towards me and continued. "Who is he? Your new friend?"

Naruto nodded his head while laughing. "Yes, he is my friend, his name is Ruki."

Teuchi laughed. "Good, since you have brought your new friend to our shop, today's bill will be in the house."

After we finished eating ramen, the two of us started walking back towards the playground.

"Naruto, it's getting pretty late so I am gonna go home now. Let's meet up at the playground tomorrow."

"Sure, see you tomorrow."

It was around 5 pm when I reached home.

"Mom, I am home."

"Welcome back dear, how was your day."

"It was fun, I made a new friend. His name is Naruto, he has yellow hair and is a very nice guy."

I mentioned Naruto to see what kind of reaction mom would have.

Dad came out of his room and replied.

"Ohh, that's good, make sure to be nice to your friends ok."

"Ok, Dad."

Both my parents didn't seem to have any problems with me befriending Naruto. I was surprised by their reply, I was happy because that solves one of my problems.

After talking with my parents for a bit, I went into my room.

I searched for some sharp object, to cut myself with but I couldn't find anything. So I decided to go with the classic Naruto style and bite my thumb to draw some blood.

It actually hurt more than I thought it would. Few drops of blood fell on the floor. I tried to clot the wound to make it stop bleeding and it worked.

The blood around my hand just froze there instead of flowing. This ability to clot the wound was not that important to me because I had the regeneration ability, but I was still glad that I was able to do that.

I focused my attention on the drops of blood on the floor. There was blood in 4 different places on the floor. At first, I tried to merge all the blood on the floor together.

Slowly the drops of blood started to move towards each other. The speed of the blood was slow but I knew, I could improve it with practice.

I separated, merged, and moved the blood around for a few minutes. After doing that I wanted to test, from how far I could control my blood.

I slowly started to control the blood and send it away from me. I went to the corner of my room and sent the blood to the opposite corner.

When the blood was about 5 meters away from me, it became harder for me to control it. After about 5.5 meters I couldn't move the blood anymore.

A day passed, after eating breakfast I went straight to the playground. When I reached their Naruto was already there waiting for me.

I ran towards Naruto "Sorry, I am late."

"It's fine, I also just got here."

"Naruto, let's play a new game today."

"Ok, what is it?"

I laid on the ground and did a push-up. "What I just did is called a push-up, let's see who can do the most push up, the loser has to pay for today's meal."

Naruto immediately became excited. "Ok, I hope you have enough money for the treat, cause I am not losing."

Naruto laid next to me, got on the plank position, and prepared himself.

I looked at him and asked, "Ok, ready?"

He nodded his head and said. "Start."

We both started doing push-ups. After doing 10 push-ups, my speed slowed down. On the 20th push-ups, my arms and chest started burning.

But I could feel the regeneration ability slowly healing them and giving me strength. After the 25th push-ups, I couldn't feel my arms.

I looked at Naruto to see how he was doing, he was not doing any better than me, his arms were shaking looked like he could fall at any moment.

Looking at him, my competitive spirit rose. I was 23 years if I counted my both lives. So as a 23-year-old, I didn't want to lose to a 4 and a half-year-old kid.

Both of us wanted to win, we kept doing push-ups after push-ups, kept pushing past our limits.

After doing my 40th push-up, I couldn't take it anymore and I collapsed.
