Chapter 36
It was at that moment that Kazuo invested all of his points into charisma.
*Boom*
It felt like an explosion had occurred inside his mind.
Every single memory of his, both in his past life as well as in this new one of his started playing into his mind.
It was as if he was watching his entire life from a third perspective, whilst it was playing on a thousand times the speed.
It was only an hour later that Kazuo finally managed to bring himself together and the influx of memories stopped.
*Huff* *Huff*
Releasing harsh breaths, Kazuo was covered in sweat from head to toe.
'What the fuck.' Kazuo thought to himself as his mind wandered to what had just transpired.
He had seen every single memory of his and gained a new deeper perspective into it.
It was like he could finally understand what he had outright missed before.
The way his mother had looked at him whilst he remained oblivious.
The way his friends had seen him, how they had reacted to his stories, his life, and everything he had done.
How everyone around him in his past life had perceived him.
Kazuo could finally understand that and so much more.
As for the memories of this life, Kazuo felt even deeper surprise than from his old world memories.
This body was an orphan, growing up inside the hidden leaf village, the only pillars of support he had back then were the caretakers.
The old Kazuo and even the Kazuo of merely an hour ago had thought of them as naive good people who wanted to help children.
'Those bastards didn't give a damn about us, if you connect that kind of behavior with my knowledge of this world then the likeliness of that being a root orphanage is almost one hundred percent.' Kazuo thought as he furrowed his brows.
He didn't try to get up from his bed however, he had noticed that his body refused to move.
It was as if it had achieved its true limits and now a deep sated tiredness had settled in, making movement almost impossible.
'These should be the aftereffects of the soldier pills.' Kazuo thought before releasing a sigh.
'Shikaru was deeply suspicious of me from the very start, I knew that but with this new perspective, I know it for sure. The guys back then, that hawk team was looking into me whilst they dispatched the ambushers at the patrol route.' Kazuo thought before nodding his head, finding his assumption to be close if not the very truth of the situation.
'This was a good choice.' Kazuo thought before his brows furrowed even further and his fist clenched hard enough to tear the skin, blood dripped out and hit the ground however Kazuo didn't remove the force he was applying until a few moments later.
'Still, it's annoying to know just how others looked and thought of you, if only I could get back there again somehow, I'd rip those bastards to shreds.' Kazuo thought as faces swirled in his mind.
An old woman with graying hair, a young blonde guy, and a young girl with luscious black hair that went to her waist.
'I'd kill you all, every single one of you.' Kazuo thought to himself before taking in a deep breath and releasing it slowly.
'That shit doesn't matter either way, why the fuck am I wasting my time thinking about them.' Kazuo thought finally as he turned on his side with difficulty and closed his eyes.
When Kazuo woke up, he felt almost completely rejuvenated.
His body felt much better than it had in weeks, his mind was clear as well.
Getting up from the ground, Kazuo saw that the effects of the soldier pills had completely subsided.
'I slept for two days didn't I?' Kazuo thought as he considered the fact that he had been told the aftereffects would last at least two days.
Getting out of his tent, Kazuo felt bright sunlight hit his eyes causing him to close them for a few moments until they adapted to the light.
Finally having the ability to have a good look around, Kazuo saw that most shinobi were training or gathered in a circle with their team members as they shared stories and jokes with each other.
Walking to one of the teams, Kazuo sat down next to them without even asking for permission.
The others turned to look at who had joined them, finding out quickly that it was Kazuo.
"Ey Kiddo, you finally awake?" A large man with a rotund belly said as he ate a pack of what looked like dried meat.
"Yeah, how long was I asleep for?" Kazuo asked the man, speaking out for the first time since he had raised his charisma, Kazuo was surprised at himself.
His voice carried a strange sound making it more confident, more warm, and charismatic if Kauzo had to say so himself, though it still clearly sounded like Kazuo himself and the voices were identical.
'Strange' Kazuo thought before turning his attention to the man once more, awaiting his reply.
With a loud chuckle, the man replied.
"It's been two and a half days, for a moment we thought you had died or something but when the medical team checked up on you they simply said that you were experiencing the aftereffects of three soldier pills and were in dire need of rest." The man said with a smile.
After he finished his words, Kazuo saw someone extend their arm toward him and place it around his shoulders.
"Yeah kid, you really weren't lying when you said you ran as fast as you could to get back into the fight. I wish I could have your courage you know?" It was a woman with purple hair that went all the way down to her bosom.
"Im not brave, I simply think that everything has a value and my comrades and my village hold a greater position than myself," Kazuo answered, his voice almost melodious as he answered the woman.
