Chapter 78 : waste of time

Mito's POV/

"Ohh, so he left!" I muttered as I looked at how Garou used Katsuyu to cover him in a shield of chakra to deceive the sensors and how he himself manipulated his body to change his appearance and quietly left towards the death forest after picking up Tsunade.

"Sighh, Now I am bored" I muttered with a sigh.

The being that I am most interested in just left for an adventure and now I don't know what to do anymore. I write what I know about him in this diary of mine but now it seems I can't do that too anymore.

"Hmm, should I follow him ?" With a hand on my chin I contemplated about going or not.

I don't even know what I will do here anyways. All the problems of the Senju clan is already being solved by Tsunade. My time is spent by sitting and watching the garden all day every day that it makes it really all the more boring for me.

According to the story of the Toad, the time to hunt the Senjus will start from now on but it doesn't concern me one bit as I simply don't care about any of them except Tsunade, it's not like they did anything good for me other than messing my life over with the Uzumaki and that wood punk of the so-called husband of mine. 

And also, Garou already told Tsunade some little information about this without sounding suspicious, enough to make her vigilant but didn't delve into the matter that much for some reason, so now all the more reason for me to not care at all.

The politics of the village can also be damned. The monkey can be the failure of a ruler as much as he wants, and his bestie to be as evil as he could be, not my problem.

But there's something that makes me hesitate to go, which is the fertilised egg inside Tsunade!

I can't just leave her alone when she is pregnant and I also have a slight bad feeling about this. It may be my ninja paranoia acting up again like the days of the past but I don't want any accidents to happen when I am not around.

No one is safe in this village except me after all.

Or maybe I could send a shadow clone after Garou to observe him from afar ?

"Hmm, then it's decided!" I said.

I got to work and manipulated a vast amount of mine and Kyuubi's chakra then made a hand seal.

*Puff*

A shadow clone appeared before me with a face and body identical to mine and a huge amount of chakra to last the clone around 6 months before dispersing.

"You know what to do!" I said with a frown.

The clone didn't answer and just smiled elegantly at me and disappeared to follow my lo...

'My?... hmm... I know he won't accept me in anyway but I wonder if he likes older women?... food for thoughts' I thought as I took out my red book and start to write what's necessary again.

Garou's POV /

First, I had to get rid of those ninjas spying on me all day without a stop which was kinda easy to say the least.

All I had to do was to tell Katsuyu to create a fake chakra pathway inside my body by controlling the chakra which fortunately, she can do so perfectly.

My body is like an empty pot and it can store little and safe amount of chakra inside of it for a very limited time.

After Katsuyu done what I said and she gave the chakra inside my body a signature similar to a random civilian, I used one of my racial ability I have been ignoring for some time now which is my Lesser Shape Shifting.

I haven't used the ability that much but it's still good to change your appearance like eyes, hair, jawline and to a lesser degree, my body.

But it's still not that good and some keen eyes, sharingan or byakugan can immediately reveal my disguise, so the ability needs some grinding to become better which I have the time to do so fortunately.

It's also the same for my Lesser bio material manipulation but the way it functions is better than my shape shifting as it only needs energy and parts of my own body to create whatever tools I want. The only downside is how slow it's.

But let's get back to present.

Now, I am in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by medium sized trees unlike the ones inside the borders of Konoha.

"Okay! so where the fuck should I go now ?" I said in confusion to no one in particular as I looked at a map in my hands

I have been going south for hours now, and according to this map, then the capital of fire country "Oujisama" is in the far south.

"So I just continue my way to south until I reach the capital, right Katsuyu ?" I asked the woman on my head who was enjoying her time by drinking tea.

"Yes Garou-sama. You will soon come across a muddy path leading to the capital if you continue on your way" She replied.

"Then going straight it is" I murmured and started to walk again.

Right now, I don't know what I will do for all these years, I still haven't decided about where to go. I am puzzled between just going around wasting time until something eventually happens or just actively seek trouble ?

If I am not wrong, I still have around 8 years before the second shinobi war happens. If nothing changed which should be impossible, then I will spend around 5 years roaming around the elemental nations or until I was sure my body got enough triggers to get back my former strength I had when I fought the heroes and monster association combined!

But I don't know if it's instinct or not but I feel like, that being who sent me here did something to my body so I wouldn't become powerful too fast which is slightly annoying.

But I hate going through this the same way as in my original world, so this is a unique challenge that makes things more exciting in this slightly lower level world compared to mine which had many powerful beings who were the same level as the six path man of this world, or even far more powerful than him.

So, I obviously accept challenges and it's just a matter of how many fights I have until I can throw nuclear punches again, so no worries here.

For now, I should get to the capital and see what it has in store for me.

4 hours later /

*step step step*

The stories in my mind that guy on that dull world the 21st century earth read, all had one thing in common, which is something cool or a sudden event happening to the main characters out of nowhere every time they get out on an adventure outside their respective comfort zones.

So I wonder why in the hell nothing happened to me till now ? It has been 4 hours since I am walking on this damn muddy road and if not for my footwork I have refined throughout years that made me lighter than usual, then I am sure my Tai chi shoes and clothes would have mud all over it.

'Does that mean I am not the main character ?' I thought with a hand on my chin.

*step step step*

This is so boring, looking at the beautiful green scenery around me could only be entertaining for some time and now it's pissing me off for no reason!

Like, come on man, can't this world send some bandits my way at least to fuck them up ? This is an official road that a constant flow of rich merchants travel on, where in the fuck are this bad people when you need them the most ?

8 hours later /

In a quite evening where the son painted the sky with its final hues of orange and gold, a little away to form a twilight over a vast clearing with a pathway leading to somewhere, you could see a tall and muscular man walking through the path all alone.

"🎶Country Rooaaaddd, take me homeeee, to my waifussss, I beloooong, West Konohaaaa🎶" I sang in a deep voice with my hands behind my back as I looked at the orange sky that was about to form the twilight.

I stopped singing and just walked down the way with a deadpan expression.

"Didn't know you could sing this well Garou-sama! But I am confused at what waifu is you kept mentioning in your lyrics, so if I may ask, what does that mean ?" Katsuyu suddenly spoke on my head.

"It's confidential" I replied immediately which made her pout.

"You won't tell me ?"

"Nahh"

"Why ?"

"..."

"Tell me!"

"Nahh"

"Aren't you bored ?" She asked.

"Woman... what does it look like to you ? Have you ever seen me look this miserable before ?" I cried in annoyance with my jaw jutted forward.

"Well maybe that's why I am trying to strike up a conversation and ask what a waifu is ? To keep the journey entertaining ?" She shrugged.

"Yea yea thanks for trying at least I guess" I replied in boredom.

I continued to walk, ignoring the now silent Katsuyu for some minutes until she spoke again.

"Why do you always ignore me ?" She asked, and if you listened closely, you could hear the sad tone in her voice which my superior hearing didn't fail to notice.

"..."

I ignored her.

'Hmm ?' I tilted my head a little as I heard the sound of footsteps.

The sound came from behind a hill ahead 1 mile away. it immediately made me excited and quickly used Soru to get there and check the sound out.

*Swoosh*

With some dust dispersing under my feet, I instantly covered around 50 meters closer to my target.

With a wide grin on my face, I ran towards the sound I heard, I continued to use Soru, Soru and again Soru until I got on the hill in a matter of some seconds, and now I could see the silhouette of a... FUCKING old man trying to pull out the wooden wheel of his cart that was stuck inside the muddy ground.

My excitement disappeared, the adrenaline rush went away, and the scenario of me beating the hell out of some bad guys and after saving the damsel in distress, I raise a middle finger at her while shouting "I have a wife bitch!!" stayed being just a useless thought.

All the thoughts of me having a unique and exciting experience, some kind of conspiracy going on after I took care of the trouble, then after investigating the matter I will get to fight more opponents like a local villain trying to summon a demon or something that will furthermore make more chain reactions and I will get myself into more trouble...

It went away!

It died... disappeared... puffed!

Now, with a shadow hiding my face, I reluctantly and dully, approached the old dude who was sweating from trying to free the wheel from the muddy ground.

*step step step*

I walked forward until I was behind the old man and towered over him, it created a shadow that immediately alerted the dude and he quickly looked back to see my legs which made him raise his head until his black eyes locked onto my bloody one.

"Do you need help old man ?" I asked in a deep voice indifferently which made his old body to shake in sudden fear.

His expression changed to a terrified one the moment he saw my unique attire, stature and intimidating eyes and he slowly backed away with his hands trembling.

"I-I-I am just a s-simple villager sir! Please leave me alone!" He said in an exhausted and shaky voice.

I wasn't amused, not little one bit.

First I ran here, wasting all that precious adrenaline all for nought, and now this guy thinks I am some kind of bandit trying to mug him.

"If you don't need help, then goodbye" I said and just left to continue my way towards the capital with a sour mood.

The old man just looked at my leaving back in confusion as he didn't expect me to leave him alone just like that, he thought he will die after being robbed.

But now that I think about it, I need to ask him a question "Hey you!" I called the dude from a little far away.

"Hm?! Huh ?! Ahh" He came out of his daze and nervously let out some words, if you could call it that.

"How long till I get to the capital ?" I asked with my eyes bore into his.

He looked at me for a few moments, surprised by what I asked "Y-young man, why do you want to go there ?!" He asked.

"Just answer the question, damn!" I let out in annoyance which made him flinch, already pissed off at this cowardly man.

"S-sorry young man, but the capital is a month and half away by horse, and after seeing nothing on you just made me confused a little, so that's why I asked!" He answered and I just looked at him indifferently before turning away to leave again.

"Ahh young man, are you a ninja ? Could you please help this old man to get this wheel out ?" The old man asked in a pleading tone.

*swoosh*

I didn't even answer the old fart and just vanished from that place using Soru leaving the dude dumbfounded.

I won't repeat myself twice because it's stupid, the guy didn't even consider my kind gesture as a thing first time and just straight up considered me a thief, so don't find me weird to be rude too.

But now, there's a more important matter going on to think about.

I stop usuing Soru far away from my previous spot and just stand there with veins bulging on my forhead and hands in anger.

"Why didn't you tell me it will take this much time to get to the capital K.a.t.s.u.y.u ?!" I asked with my teeth gritted.

"Hmm ? Well, in my defense, you kept ignoring me even after trying to talk to you, so..." She replied calmly but I could even smell her slight smirk that pissed me off more.

"I have been walking down the fucking road for around a day now without getting some rest you hear ?! A fucking day of walking!...and I thought I will get there by tomorrow BUT... a freaking month and half away by fucking horse ?! You should have told me sooner you wench!" I cried in frustration while grabbing my hair, about to pull a chunk out.

"You shouldn't have ignored me then hmph!" I heard her mutter under her breath with a pout which made the blood vessels in my eyes to pop out more in anger.

"YOU FUCKIN... Okaay!... It's okay hahaha...totally okay!" I was about to lash out but calmed down and took deep breaths to get back to my zen state.

I comb my hair using my hands and stretch my legs and arms. I look up ahead the empty road that stretched to the unknown until it reached a forest between two mountains, then I crouch down into a sprinter's stance.

My muscles tensed, eyes focused on the path ahead. As the anticipation builds, I takes a deep breath, with muscles now bulging with raw power.

"I ain't fucking Garou if I don't reach the capital in two days!!"

"Rahhhhh!" *Boooom!!* * Swooooosh!!*

With a feral roar, I launched myself into a sprint, tearing through the ground beneath me as I left a huge crater of 15 meters in my previous place, destroying the road...now heading towards the capital with blurring speeds.

The End.
