Haphazard [Part-18]

[When are you going to be visiting the Uchiha boy you've kept... locked up? Gosh, that sounded so wrong...]-Matatabi

Veronica blinked twice before she took in a deep breath at what Matatabi had said.

'It did... A-anyways, I'll be visiting him tomorrow. I'll probably need to clean up his poop and pee by that time... Dear lord.'

[Hopefully you won't rape him-] -Matatabi

'Hey! I'll probably only eye rape him!!!'

Veronica had a small blush on her face, remembering the time when she stole Lily's laptop to watch 'stuff'.

[…

I pray that the boy would come out alive.]-Matatabi

'Heyyyyy! You enjoyed that stuff too! I know you were watching my memories on replay when it came on.

*Sigh* Whatever, I'll be working on taijutsu and chakra control for most of the academy. Just relay that to Tobirama-San for me so he could help me out.'

[Can't you do it?]-Matatabi

'Well, I don't have much chakra right now. I'm still recovering from letting Tobirama-San take over my body and use his techniques. I could just enter my mind space but that would make me lose focus for now. And we aren't exactly in a safe place.'

As Veronica said this, she noticed two drunk men coming towards her direction. She had a henge on so wasn't worried about being spotted if they weren't at least chunin level. Genin were never advanced with being able to guess who the person was by their chakra even if they could see through Veronica's henge.

'They aren't ninja... That's a relief. I don't how I would explain as to what I was doing here of all places. Then again, most ninja won't come here except if they were on a mission. This place might actually be the best hiding place in all of Konoha.

Slums back where I came from were worse than this. Then again, I haven't checked that one isolated part of this place yet. Maybe that's where the worst of the worst go to.'

Sighing, she thought how tiring today would be for her. Well, every day was tiring for her ever since she was left at the make shift orphanage.

'I can't believe I thought of that day again... *Sigh* I should've just laid low and pretended to be a normal person. I'm pretty sure I could've survived since I know the future and all. Dammit. My excitement got the best of me.

I wish I could've just died by that asshole's hands and not be reborn here of all places. Now I've gone and made all these bonds. If I leave so abruptly then I won't be able to live with myself.

Now I always have to be careful. I can't let anyone know I have information about the future, especially since I've gotten involved with the ninja world now.

I hope at least Lily is having a good time, wherever she might be. I wonder if she was able to get away from him? Was she able to grab a weapon of some sorts? She's probably going to be traumatized because of that, isn't she?'

Shaking her head in an attempt to clear her head, she quickly followed her target.

'I need to calm down. It'll be fine. This isn't my first kill anyways.

Then again, it might be my first kill since I didn't know that I had killed someone until a while later.'

She followed after the man, mentally remembering all the information she had gathered about him.

'A rapist and a murderer. He picks up any and all humans under 20 and brings them with him to his small house by the Naka River. Since that specific area is quite scheduled nobody comes there. After having his 'pleasures' he stabs his victims, usually always going for the heart to make it more efficient. Since the people are from areas like these, people are glad to see one less mouth to fight over them about food. And nobody else bothers with these people.

After all, these kinds of people are 'dirty' to 'normal' people.

He would be an easy target but with all his 'actions' but, he's become more aware of his surroundings and a bit skilled in close range fighting.

He's still below Genin level but I'm not particularly strong either. This could turn out to be a slight challenge... Maybe I should've made a back-up plan?

No, if I get scared of this then I won't be worth anything in the ninja world.'

Taking in a deep breath, she gripped her kunai tightly and made the signs for the shadow clone jutsu. She had the clone henge into a lady she met in her previous world.

'I think the name, 'Karasu' would do for her.'

Karasu, had brown skin and looked like she was 15 years in age. She looked a bit malnourished which was a common trait for some people in this area. A very common trait of his victims as well.

'I can't believe I have to use the 'flower' tactic. Thank God I cut off my connection with Matatabi and Tobirama-San before. Although I doubt Matatabi would be against my decision. They know how this world isn't just some fairy tale.'

Silently seeing her clone go up to the man with, asking for shelter, from the rooftop of some house. She made sure that no one was around to watch the two's interaction.

'And there they go... Maybe I shouldn't have done this? But... I need to do this. I'm not like Naruto who has his... 'light' nor like Sasuke. I'm not... No, I can never be like them.

I am and always will be... a fake.

I wonder if I would be able to get into ANBU by the time Naruto came back from his 2 years of training with Jiraiya. No, I'll make sure that I have experience in ANBU for at least a year before becoming a Jonin rank.

Goddamn, I need to stop thinking about random things out of nowhere. It's too distracting.'

She continued to observe the two as she put on a blank face. Pretending that nothing happened had always worked for her and she knew that even if someone had forced her to let down her walls, she would always pretend.

*Smile when it hurts, laugh when you want to cry and stand up when you're ready to fall.*
