Trip to Town

So as I decided to stay in the forest for a week or two longer to get a feel for my eye prowess, I made rapid progress.

I realised that every time I activate my Dōjutsu it drains quite a bit a chakra, all because of my 360 degree vision and I had to change that. So after familiarising myself with it, I was able to deactivate that feature at will.

Now it came easy to switch between normal and 360 degree vision when activated. I was also able to have the normal vision activated while still peering through obstacles which was a pleasant surprise.

My gravity manipulation also came quite a long way. I started just pulling and pushing pebbles and tried getting more control over the momentum. Then went onto to bigger objects such as branches and eventually big rocks. When I infuse a large amount of chakra in my push it can easily knock trees over.

For bigger objects I obviously had to use more chakra and while I wouldn't be able to use it during combat, where every second counts, for now, it's easy to ambush someone with it while taking them off guard.

When I wasn't training with my Dōjutsu,

(A/N: PLEAVE GIVE ME SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR THE NAME)

I was keeping up with my strength and control exercises. Every time I my chakra was spent, I was meditating, and came to the realisation that what I was sensing before was space itself. It was very elusive, but I made progress better picking up on it. Manipulating it was a whole different beast however and even with my Dōjutsu it seemed almost impossible to make any progress.

So, as I was getting ready to leave and look for a village, I was thinking of some plans for the foreseeable future.

'I definitely have to figure out what time period I am in, I also need to find a way to get some actual techniques. I am just not sure wether to steal them or find another way.'

I was in quite the pickle but I decided to worry about those things once I actually needed to make a choice. And with that I flew off, leaving behind my training spot in search for some civilisation.

While I didn't fly all that fast, it still took me a day and a half to find a small town. As I approached it from a distance, I decided to keep myself hidden and activate my Dōjutsu to scout the place out a bit.

The town didn't have many residents, somewhere in between 150-200 people maybe, and it seemed to be very poor.

I didn't find another presence with a substantial amount of chakra so I deemed it safe to start walking in and ask some people about where I actually am.

The town looked more like a street filled with houses to the side, and as I walked through the wooden gate I immediately started getting weird stares.

It didn't bother me too much since I must've looked quite funny, some had looks of surprise and curiosity while other looked at my with.. disdain?

I wasn't proud to say it, but I might have developed quite the Ego since I actually thought of most humans beneath me, so those stares irked me quite a bit more than others. Sure I must've looked raggedy and homeless but still??

I walked until I found a shop , where a nice enough looking grandma was selling food from their window and stopped in front of it trying to started a conversation.

But before I could even mutter a word she looked at me and started talking.

"Oh you poor thing, look at you, a cute girl like you shouldn't be running around with no shirt on looking all dishevelled. Come here I'll bring you some food and you tell me what's going on with you."

I tried my best to not kill right her then and there.

'What's going on with everyone calling me a girl?! And cute?? I really need a mirror. '

"Actually I am a BOY and if it wouldn't be too much trouble can you tell me where I am?"

She just said: "Oh my, I'm sorry little one, your looks can be quite deceiving and what's going on with your white skin? Is it a sickness of some kind?"

'This lady is unintentionally rude', I thought to myself and just told her that it wasn't and didn't say more. Afterwards she explained that this is a village in the outskirts of the Land of Fire close to the Land of Waves.

We made some small talk, she offered me some of her food and when I tried a bit, I immediately grimaced. It just felt wrong, I could eat it, but it wasn't enjoyable to me. She gave me some tea seeing as I didn't like her food and this on the other hand was quite good.

Since I've already had a conversation going I asked whether she had a mirror so that I could look at myself she immediately went inside to get me one.

As she came back and gave me a hand mirror I was quite surprised my appearance. My face truly looked like that of a girl, a really cute little girl and it irked me quite a bit. I am powerful but I look like a cute little girl.

SIGHHH

Well whatever, I had bright blue eyes that were almost shining, which painted a nice contrast between my white skin and greyish hair. I told myself that I'd probably lose my cuteness once I either grow up or evolve so I didn't mind too much for now.

After giving her the mirror back I asked where Konoha is, and she said: "Hmm Konoha is a few days of travel north west, but it's dangerous going there without protection, you shouldn't even think about going there!"

While I just nodded to that I also made sure to ask if she knew what year it was since Konohas establishment, but she had no idea. Luckily a man sitting on a table in front of her shop overheard my question. He didn't know what year it was but he said that 3 or 4 years ago he heard news of a demon running wild in Konoha.

That was good information for me. This means that Naruto should start going to the Ninja academy soon, and that the Uchiha massacre hadn't happened yet. I did want to have a Sharingan in my arsenal after all.

I was thinking of staying in the town for a while longer, and was almost persuaded by the kind old Lady, but it didn't have anything to offer to me, and I couldn't afford to waste precious time here.

Before I left however I had to get some clothes, and I had just the plan for that. I bid the old Lady goodbye and went back into the forest.

During nighttime, I was hovering above the village, my vision scanning through the different houses below looking for a specific person.

I had a good memory and remembered one of the men that was looking at me in disdain earlier, so when the town was asleep, I broke into his house, quietly of course, and simply stole his whole wardrobe and his small amount of savings.

Luckily it wasn't much clothes he had. I did it just to spite him mostly, but it was something I needed to do either way. Back in the forest I threw away all of his clothes, except one pair of pants, from which I cut a good amount length off with my sword, as well as a hoodie which was way too big.

I probably looked quite comical but having something to wear was still a plus in my book.

And with that I flew for 10 minutes or so, until I found a tree I could rest on for my journey ahead.

I decided it was a good idea to go to Konoha and see if I can steal some techniques with my Dōjutsu, and perhaps even get myself a sharingan.
