Like Danzo had said, the two young council members had accepted my challenge, and in said challenge, I… let all the anger they themselves had produced within me out. Needless to say, it was very satisfying to kick their asses, unfortunately, I had to hold back a lot. But, regardless of how much I had to pull my punches, I enjoyed every single second of it.
After that, I returned to my normal life, as day by day the whispers and rumors about me disappeared, leaving nothing but bitter memories of what had happened buried in the past. With my peace of mind, I focused on leveling my professions. I wanted to be able to craft the items I was going to use as soon as possible. Armor, potions, weapons… The list of things I was going to craft was endless, and who knows… maybe do a business with it.
As for my professions, they were almost all at max level, and something that I had found out while leveling then was, that the recipes came alone, no sidequest for them, the moment I reached a level with a profession, I just knew how to make something I didn't a few seconds ago, it was a very odd sensation, but a good one, anywho, considering my level… perhaps it was time to try and craft some items. So I started to craft the strongest armor I could craft right now with the leather I had. The Desolate Leather set.
First I started crafting the treads, using nine pieces of tiger leather, and two pieces of ninja thread, the process was like everything had been so far, easy and almost instantaneous, generating the boots.
[----Desolate Leather Treads----
---Item Level 100---
--20 Armor
+19 Agility
+34 Strength
+35 Stamina
+19 Intellect ]
Intriguing, no level requirement, that didn't align with what I remembered of WOW, not that I was going to complain. Taking a deep breath, I continued with my crafting this time creating the armguards.
[----Desolate Leather Armguards----
---Item Level 100---
--19 Armor
+14 Agility
+26 Strength
+26 Stamina
+14 Intellect]
Next, I crafted the waistguard. Fully focusing on the stats I was going to get.
[----Desolate Leather Waisguard----
---Item Level 99---
--18 Armor
+19 Agility
+34 Strength
+34 Stamina
+19 Intellect]
"Well, these stats are crazy," In wow, this armor for me was nothing but a waste of space in my inventory, something I only crafted to level up my profession, but seeing them in person, gave me a… new sense of appreciation, considering my entire ninja setup had no stats or armor, "Now the gauntlets," I chuckled, crafting the gauntlets.
[----Desolate Leather Gauntlets----
---Item Level 111---
--19 Armor
+21 Agility
+36 Strength
+39 stamina
+21 Intellect]
Then I ordered one of my clones to bring me more leather from my storage to craft the Helm. Once I had the leather, I started, crafting another piece of my armor.
[----Desolate Leather Helm----
---Item Level 111---
+26 Armor
+28 Agility
+48 Strength
+52 Stamina
+28 Intellect]
With a wild smile, I ordered my clones to bring out more leather, today I was going to use a new armor.

[----Desolated Leather Vest----
---Item Level 129--
--38 Armor
+33 Agility
+50 Strength
+63 Stamina
+33 Intellect]
[----Desolated Leather Leggings----

[----Desolated Leather Pauldrons----

And a pair of.

With no materials left, I stopped my crafting and focused now on transmogrification, the armor was powerful compared to anything I had seen, but it looked very bad, like awfully so, so in order to be able to fix that, and still use the armor, I was going to change the appearance of my armor, to look like my normal attire, with my transmogrification skill, one that I had learned the moment I reached level ten with my professions, a very useful skill.
The skill allowed me to change the appearance of my clothes as long as I already had the appearance myself, meaning if I wanted my armor to look like a red shirt, I needed to have a redshirt within my possessions. It was a simple thing really, all I had to do to have variety was to buy lots of clothes, and use the appearances of those clothes to modify my ugly-looking armors. "Stats," it was time to see the fruits of my grinding with my armor.

"Jesus fuck," I chuckled, "I am twice as powerful with this crappy armor,"

[Danzo POV]
Raiden Senju, at first I didn't see what Tobirama sensei saw in him, but after a bit, I had come to realize he was a tool like no other, a wild card that only Konoha should have, I didn't like the kid, but it was undeniable, his unique set of skills was of great importance to the village, which is why I had forced Koharu and Komura to stop antagonizing him, should he decide to leave… the tide of power among the villages would change drastically, no… he had to be happy within the village so that I could manipulate him, mold him into a shadow that protects the Leaf, a true shinobi. And if I had to kill Koharu and Komura to keep the brat with a sense of belonging, I would do it, with no hesitation, Tobirama sensei had seen his value, and had nurtured it with all his might, now I shall do the same, turning him into the name every other village fears when spoken, "You will be the perfect tool to keep Konoha safe, Raiden."
