-Two hours ter-
Pov: Kenzo
We were moved to one of the bigger tables as more and more people came to eat- I asked and I didn't accidentally step in on someone's party but it seems these gatherings happen all the time.
Like once every other week a group of ninja just decide to eat at the same pce and that spirals into an impromptu party.
I'm the only one not drunk here and I have been helping them not be idiots the entire night, I would have left but this is some of the best accidental fun I have had in a while.
"Come on! Surely he's not that clumsy!" Someone named Anko yells as Kurenai whispers to her.
"What do you mean! I am quiet!" She yells again and Kurenai starts ughing.
"Hey, hey! Open!" Someone else named Tsume chucks a piece of cooked meat across the table and I open my mouth to catch it.
It started out as a joke and now everyone keeps throwing food at me- I missed my pte only twice! Twice is all! I don't need assistance!
"How can you be bad at chopsticks but good at catching food like that?" Another named Genma asks confused as Asuma and someone named Raido chuckle next to him.
"Those two situations were pure bad luck and nothing else! I have perfectly fine aim" I defend myself.
"Oh yeah? How about you back your words up?" Anko smugly replies and pnts a senbon into the table in front of me.
"What's my target?" I confidently ask and pluck the senbon out, holding it like a dart.
"With that grip better make it simple" Raido snickers.
"Come on~ give me a chance" I ugh as well.
"Hit this" Asuma chucks a ball of paper into the air and I line up my shot.
*Thunk*
I hit the ball and it falls down swiftly.
"So you do have some accuracy- hit two!" Anko scrunches up some paper from her pack and throws them up.
...? I don't have the senbon anymore?
I pull out my ninja wire and infuse it with mana... if I curve it just right- *Thunk* *thunk* it shoots out of my hand and curves into hitting both bundled pieces of paper.
"Whoa- never seen that done with wire before" Genma says as he picks food out of his teeth.
"What else you got?" Raido asks and I retract the two balls of paper and start juggling them.
"I can only manage ten items in fifty variations for over two hours- this count as a skill?" I ask and hear them chuckle as they throw more items to be juggled including paper, chopsticks, kunai and a pte.
To my credit I don't drop a single item for the rest of the night and yes they made sure to test my juggling skills to the parameters I had said.
Which leads us to the current scene of me juggling and cpping every throw while catching the next item and sometimes under my leg as I hop around the table as others join for the impromptu gathering, Gekko and Ebisu that is.
I slowly get onto the floor and move the items from my hands to juggling them with my kicks.
"How did you learn that.... and more importantly why??" Asuma asks confused as I juggle the items with ease.
"Got bored, don't have very many hobbies apart from training" I reply, cant tell him I learnt by having someone shoot my skull out every time I failed.
That was fun though, maybe I should upgrade that scroll sometime again?
"It cant be as easy as your making it" Genma adds.
"Its all about flow, rhythm and maintaining the output- the more I change the power I put into every kick the more chaotic it gets and the more I have to.... readjust... myself" I reply.
Readjust myself... they cant handle the mana like I can because they cant respond to it- what if it never went any other direction? What if I built the roads in their body and all they had to do was send traffic in a certain way?
Like- like... a chakra system but for lightning mana!
I could totally make that in my own body as a test subject with my shapeshifting using the organ I made as a reference for the points and using my veins as the mana lines!
How would that work though? I can make it in myself but how do I transfer that to someone else?
Could we do a medical operation to transfer what I make in my body... which could be made to fit them perfectly and then with my shapeshifting and natural regeneration I could have the material for that operation outside my body...?
No, I would need a doctor on the legendary scale and Konoha wont risk messing with something like that...
!
Does it have to be inside the body however? I could have it applied from the outside of the body... oh damn- with some medical books and some basic sealing knowledge I could create an entirely new system of mana management where they only need to infuse something with mana to use one of my skills.
I could put this into a handle of a weapon and have them cast my 'spells' using that!
And I could have these Organ/Seals applied to their body like a tattoo, and because it isn't entirely a seal and more just a natural part of the body someone would have to be a seal master and Hyuga to shut it down!
I am a genuis! Or perhaps its my title giving me inspiration- either way I found out what I need to do and now I need to go get a challenge scroll!
...
Just after this fun gathering!

-one hour ter-
Pov: Kurenai
"He was excited to leave- did he not like us? Should have drunk something." Anko ughs as we walk down the road.
"Nah- you could see it on his face, he just had a an idea- was ready to leave an hour ago" Genma yawns.
Oh yeah, I can see that- was unfocused for the tter half of the dinner.
"*hic* he was certainly less clumsy than when I first met him" I say.
"Yeah- how does one facepnt mid greeting?" Raido asks curious and I chuckle to myself.
"I'm almost entirely sure he had that injury recently because that's the only expnation" I reply confidently.
Its funny to watch him panic when he cant walk right or misses the pte though- he boasts about himself so confidently after it happens too.

Pov: Kenzo
------
Defeat a team of four chunin!
Reward: Instant B-rank scroll!
------
I can do that- I grab the scroll off the training ground log and run back to my pce practically jumping through the door and locking it behind me.
I walk into the bathroom and shut that door before accepting the scroll immediately and being transported to the training ground I had just departed from, I am faced with four different chunin.
A team standard to go on B-rank missions hence the B-rank scroll.
Unfortunately for them- in this box I am able to go all out.
I take off my goggles and overshot before chucking them to the ground- a chunin rushes towards me and I death stare him into tripping up as he runs.
*Hoo* *Hoo* *Hoo*
Three breaths, charging my muscles with mana and I appear before the first chunin before- *CACKLE* My neck mouth glows orange and the chunin sshes forward but I leap over him... as I float above him I release my dragons breath at three points of mana.
*BOOOOM* *CACKLE* *WOOOSH*
The first chunin is down and I nd behind him as he falls to the ground... the other three chunin paralyzed by indecision panic under my stare.
They are afraid to approach and that is what usually happens when fighting anything below Jonin teir.
Two run and the middle one starts to weave hand signs.
I take two points of mana and deplete my organ to create two lightning darts- *WoosH!* throwing them at one of the two departing chunin.
*Sizzle!* *Crash!*
He dodges one but my gaze hardens on him and he freezes- taking a dart to the leg and crashing to the ground.
*Woooooooooo!*
A bst of wind sends me flying as the remaining chunin hits me with a wind jutsu and gaining the courage to throw some kunai my way.
I wrap wire around my hand and send it flying after the two kunai thrown.
*Clink* *Tink*
Metal cshes and I deflect the kunai with ease... *Swish* *Woosh!* I pour mana into my wires and start sshing at the chunin in front of me- he dodges in fear and I close in on him.
He suddenly stops and my wire cuts his head clean off- my genjutsu was created when our metal cshed, he was caught easily.
Now leaves the two others... I crack my neck and walk forward, its unfortunate that I cannot go all out in real life, I would be a great Jonin by now- in fact its a shame that I have to hold back all the time.
But it serves its purpose and serves it well.
*Stab!*
I stab the limping chunin and he falls... the other must have surrendered under my pursuit as the scroll ends there.
...
A B-rank instant scroll appears in my hands and I walk to my bed- better to learn while my inspiration is hot and fresh!
Now... what do I call this new thing? Organs... and seal work- have to stick with the magic theme even if its not really magic... better categorizing my skills that way.
...
'Bio-Runes'
That works right? Magic themed and easily expins the skill.
I focus in on the skill as I sit on my bed.
A blink.
And the Orange box greets me, the scenery changes as I get up and undo my goggles once more, I appear to be in a b- unfortunately it seems Oorochimaru themed.
And speak of the devil.
I grit my teeth in annoyance as the ink version of him appears in the b with me.
"Lets- lets make theory into reality! You will be forming a new system entirely? So- so go ahead and try out a Bio-Rune! You seem to have a ssss- sss- a- you seem to have a starting theory! I will rip out organs from your body the more you fail" Ink Oorochimaru ughs.
"How do I start?" I ask and look around... do I write it down or?
"Get on the table" He smiles creepily as he taps the surgery table.
So no theory today? All practical? That's fine, its not like I am going to regret having all my organs ripped out as I try to make a new one or anything.
I hop onto the table as the snake locks me onto it- each handcuff makes me take a breath as I try to focus on the task at hand.
So first things first is applying direction towards the organs storage, giving that energy a pce to go... I thought I would be learning basic seal stuff to compensate for that but its fine.
That just means I can produce the effects I want with what knowledge I currently have.
So- I should try to mimic a chakra line... and have the energy flow through that? But the blood itself carries the energy... so I need to make my containment veins more like the organ so energy can go through it.
...
Or more simply I should elongate the organ and wrap them in my unique vein material like electrical wires... which makes much more sense.
I form the yang energy in my body and have it form a Bio-wire that extends from my organ... the energy slowly travels up it.
Now- how do I turn that into a spell? How can I make the wires shape the energy within it? I have the Bio-wire flow through my body and reach the end of my palm... I try to make an opening and see if I can expel energy from it to give my students a short ranged bst technique.
*Stab!*
A knife is stabbed into my chest and slowly, ever so slowly dragged down it.
Haaa- haaa-
I forgot how much I hated this snake... sweat drips down my forehead and I feel woozy.
He plucks my skin like an instrument and delves into the flesh to rip out my failed creation causing blood to fly everywhere.
My head feels light... and I soon succumb to the awful feeling of dying.
*Gasp!* *Rattle!*
I gasp and rush to leave the table but only shake my restraints before lowering myself once more.
...
Okay- so that was the wrong thing to do, should I weave the wires in some pattern? If so then how? What if I set it up at the ends of each finger tip to mimic the palm technique I wanted to create, that would work right?
*Stab!*
*Slice!* *Flick* *Shlick*
*Gasp!* *Rattle!*
...
Ok- lets try something else this time... after a moment- I just need a minute to not vomit... this training is making me feel insanely queasy.
...
Haaa- maybe I am jumping too quickly to conclusions, I shouldn't have the Bio-wire be all this skill is, I can use the Bio-wire to transport... while the lightning organ stores mana it cant do anything complicated- so I need a new organ to fulfil the function of a chakra point, but instead of chakra regution it would be shaping the mana for the user.
So... instead of forging the mana we would be using moulds?
The thematic shouldn't matter at the moment- I need to focus up and not get my stomach removed.
...
So the organ I am creating would be the Bio-Rune itself- a seal that adds complexity to the mana and shapes it, the only other body part I can think of that does the same kind of thing is the brain, constantly receiving and sending signals to manage the entire body, luckily I only need to manage just one spell so it should be much easier than recreating the miracle in my skull.
I have never messed with my brain and I probably shouldn't- but if I take inspiration it shouldn't do me any harm.
...
Although if I die...
I wont face any consequences out here for messing with my brain at all.
...
Fuck it.
*Gasp!* *Rattle!*
Minutes pass before my mind feels alright again.
*Gasp!* *Rattle!*
*Gasp!* *Rattle!*
Hours go by as I continue to try and pick apart my own brain.
*Gasp!* *Rattle!*
*Gasp!* *Rattle!*
*Gasp!* *Rattle!*
There is no sense of time.
*Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!*
Ah! Ah thats it!
*Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!*
Close!
*Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!*
Closer!!
*Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!**Gasp!* *Rattle!*
YESSSS!!!
*Gasp!* *Rattle!*
I shake in cold sweat as I lower my body to the table below me.
Okay... I learned barely anything- but I git what I needed most, I got the- *rattle* I shake off the feeling of discomfort and take a few breaths before I start thinking again.
Alright- so what I got was something essential, using my scan of the brain (Picking apart and trying my best to remember after picking. Apart. My. Brain) I can see how the signals sent can activate a certain part of the brain!
...
Doesn't sound so impressive when I spent so much time for all of that, but not knowing how the brain works I think I did well.
Using that I can modify my current organ and add responses and signals to it- so if mana is poured through... Bio-wire one, this affect will happen, while if mana is poured through the other another affect will occur.
Simple gates will allow me to make more complicated systems- but for now all I need is to have the mana flow in the right directions in order to set up a pattern much like a seal and have the mana self shape.
I feel like the more I think the less it all makes sense...
Lets just get to the trial and error.
-Three days ter-
"How does that one look?" I ask.
"Better than- than the st one, try one st- time" Oorochimaru stabs into my chest and rips out the failed organ.
*Gasp!* *Rattle!*
Haaa- I. Hate. Oorochimaru.
I form the Bio-wires... attach them within the Bio-Rune frame and shape it to form outside my body into the palm of my hand where it fits snuggly- the snake cuts it from my body and heals the wound closed.
The empty Bio-rune looks like a ft oval about one cm thick, I have reduced the size of the wires and frame by tremendous amounts, it is a darker red colour and looks a little too gross for my liking.
But- if I graft it onto someone else's wrist and attach a Bio-wire to their vein it can sap away the mana and infuse it into the frame easily.
Now all I need to figure out is how to make it cast a spell- the powering works and the next step is shaping the mana itself.
"E-rank portion complete... another- another time" Oorochimaru licks his lips and the scenery around me changes as I am released from the table.
The orange box forms.
Thanks for reading :)
