Chapter 18: The Copy Ninja's Rage
[Adam Yukimura POV]
Kakashi Hatake. The Copy Ninja. I'd already acquired skills from him, but there was one thing I coveted above all else: his Mangekyo Sharingan. The Kamui. The ability to warp space. It was a long shot, a truly dangerous gamble, but the potential reward was immense. And with my two deaths per person, I was ready to push him to his absolute limit.
"Kakashi-sensei!" I called out, finding him training alone in a secluded forest, practicing his lightning techniques. "Just the man I wanted to see! Your Mangekyo Sharingan! It's truly legendary! The way it warps space! It's like having a personal teleportation device, but with more eye strain! Do you ever accidentally warp yourself into a wall?"
Kakashi slowly lowered his hand, his visible eye narrowed. "Adam-san. What do you want? I'm busy."
"Oh, nothing much!" I chirped. "Just a friendly spar! You know, for training purposes! I'm a Special Jonin now, and I need to hone my skills! And what better way to do that than by getting utterly annihilated by a true master of the Mangekyo Sharingan?"
Kakashi sighed. "I'm not going to use Kamui on you, Adam-san. It's too dangerous."
"Nonsense!" I declared. "I'm a connoisseur of danger, Kakashi-sensei! A true aficionado of existential threats! Hit me with your best shot! Literally! I'm hoping to learn a thing or two about… well, about being warped into another dimension!"
We moved to a clear area. Kakashi, despite his initial reluctance, was a serious opponent. He started with his usual lightning-based attacks, which I, with my "Chakra Perception: Lightning," was surprisingly adept at "dodging" (i.e., positioning myself to take the hit in the least damaging way possible, while still dying). I pushed him, forcing him to escalate, to use more chakra, to strain his eye. I used my "Impact Rush" to charge him, my "Predator's Stride" to vanish and reappear, my "Exploding Sand Constructs" to create distractions.
He eventually activated his Mangekyo Sharingan, his eye swirling with the distinctive pattern. I felt a strange, pulling sensation in the air around me. This was it.
" Come on, Kakashi. Give me the good stuff. "
I "tripped" directly into the path of his gaze. The world twisted around me, a sickening lurch as space itself seemed to tear apart. I felt my body being pulled, stretched, compressed into a tiny point, then… darkness.
[ YOU HAVE BEEN KILLED BY: KAKASHI HATAKE (UNIQUE DEATH!) ][ SKILL ACQUIRED: RUDIMENTARY SPACE-TIME PERCEPTION (Passive) - A very minor ability to perceive subtle distortions in space and time. ][ DEATHS REMAINING (KAKASHI HATAKE): 0 ]
I gasped, reforming from what felt like a very uncomfortable wormhole. My body felt… disoriented. And surprisingly good at noticing when space was about to fold. "Rudimentary Space-Time Perception! Excellent! Now I can probably, maybe, perhaps, tell when someone's about to teleport! Or, you know, just subtly predict when a wormhole is about to open in my living room! The possibilities are endless!"
Kakashi stared at me, his Mangekyo Sharingan still active, but his visible eye wide with utter shock. "You… you just… survived Kamui."
"It's a gift, Kakashi-sensei!" I chirped. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some new skills to merge!"
I returned to my apartment, eager to experiment with my new acquisition. "Rudimentary Space-Time Perception" and "Chakra Perception: Lightning." This was going to be an interesting combination.
"System, merge 'Rudimentary Space-Time Perception' and 'Chakra Perception: Lightning'!"
[ MERGE SUCCESSFUL! ][ NEW SKILL ACQUIRED: SPATIAL CHAKRA SENSING (Passive) - Enhanced ability to perceive chakra distortions related to space-time ninjutsu, allowing for slightly improved evasion of such attacks and a minor intuitive grasp of their mechanics. ]
"Spatial Chakra Sensing! Oh, this is fantastic! Now I can probably, maybe, perhaps, dodge even the fastest teleportation attacks! Or, you know, just subtly tell if someone's about to try and warp me into another dimension! The possibilities are endless!"
My unique death count was steadily climbing.
[ CURRENT UNIQUE DEATHS: 51 ]
Life as a Special Jonin was a constant stream of opportunities for self-improvement through self-destruction. And with "Spatial Chakra Sensing," I was practically a walking, talking, space-time-aware prankster. Unless, of course, I wanted to be. Which, let's be honest, I always did.
