As we walked the road Karin decided to discuss our future wedding so we could have the details all hashed out to save us the trouble later.
"It won't be a small affair given our fame so the venue will need to be able to accommodate that many people, perhaps on top of the Hokage mountain?" I suggested but she shook her head.
"That would be disrespectful and give the wrong impression....

"No need to look at me like that, it's not stolen. I found it in a chest buried under the sands of a beach near Littleroot. I assume that the ship it was on originally went down near there some time ago." I said honestly. He looked suspicious for a moment before nodding "I'll check to see if such a ship existed as well as all the other pieces of the ore we have to verify that story but I believ...

We made our way back to Fyrestone and Zeds place in particular to turn in the mission and I saw the vendor was up and running while the others waited with shields now openly sitting on their waists.
"Got some shields finally I see, good! We cleared out the bandit's already so this Nine-Toes dude shouldn't be getting any new intel, a good time to catch him off guard." I said calmly.

Once the last of the monsters were taken care Bell collapsed the moment he relaxed. I didn't fault him for this as he was quite thoroughly exhausted and suffering mind zero. I poured a mana potion and a healing potion down his throat in a trickle to make sure he didn't inhale it but it hit his stomach. I passed Welf, Lili and Daphne potions since while they were exhausted they were nowhere near...

We didn't travel as fast as we could unlike if we were on a mission and time was of the essence but rather walked casually along the road.
"I never could understand why anyone would choose to become a bandit." Karin complained after i killed those bandits who ambushed us.

That little distraction done I went snooping about for any hints at any of the other plates being dug up in the town as unlike most parts of the region this place had been heavily excavated over a long period of time and thus more likely to have found a plate if one was buried here. My first stop as a result was naturally the museum that had a collection of things found while mining over the ye...

I suppose I should explain what a Claptrap unit looked like since we are here. See the neurotic little bots were about three feet tall upside down pyramidish shaped things with two robotic arms out the side and the sharp tip of the pyramid being chopped off and replaced with a single wheel that they used to move. At the top was a stiff antenna and the front of the unit had a single large roboti...

My new armor was swanky as fuck and I loved it already because it was almost a durable as me. It had the awesome and ridiculously useful ability to mend itself over time and was equally as tough to damage in the first place. It should be understood that I had refined the goliath parts to the brink of ascension which I STILL couldn't push it past but regardless that still put it towards the peak...

Interestingly this kekkai genkai was also one of the reasons I knew that yin and yang energy being fused into an elemental chakra didn't create kekkai genkai. Specifically because of the infamous black lightning of Kumogakure that was in essence lightning release with a bunch of yang energy mixed in. How Storm release factored into this was that the kekkai genkai could be used in conjunction wi...

Oreburgh was a mining town originally but grew into a mining city over time and the design and feel of the place showed that. The "road" was more like a bunch of stones cobbled together in a grey path that sat counter to the exposed brown dirt literally everywhere else. Most of the buildings were made of metal that had likely been extracted from the ground here and the inhabitants clearly took ...

I returned to Eden six and spent the next few days until my deadline arrived preparing for my trip to Pandora while practicing with my new powers. Maya's powers were excellent for single targets but groups proved troublesome for it though that could be somewhat mitigated by creative use. For example you phase lock an enemy and them use their mass to create a burst of strong attractive gravity c...

I carefully created a "track" inside the box to move the marbles properly and even labeled the buttons to prevent confusion. I then created the "top" of the box that was in fact a curse tool in and of itself that was a jackbird's golden egg refined, ascended and formed into a "speaker" of sorts that when a marble was "played" created the exact sound recorded on the marble in clear and precise v...

I wasn't lying either as that was precisely what I did too. I wrote down how to achieve each kekkai genkai in a step by step manner by listing my understanding of the basic amount of chakra one should have, the mastery over the individual elements that made up the stuff and even the strength I thought it best to have before attempting the fusion. The level of detail I used for this when documen...

Yani moved out the way once Tank's powder bomb was ready and the Garchomp got a face blasted full of the terrible mixture. It became clear that while the sleep powder hadn't taken hold in that mixture the other two powders had. A slightly purple tinge appeared on its skin while it's movements became sluggish as the poison and paralysis took hold. I didn't bother calling out orders after that as...

I didn't stand on ceremony and straight up dumped the legendary grade energy trait into Maya catching her off guard.
"MMMM!~" she moaned in pleasure as the trait integrated itself with her already existent version.
Couldn't blame her either as I was pretty sure it felt like getting a full body massage by the most skilled hands in the galaxy. How could it not? She had until now had t...

'About what I expected after so much accumulation and changes.' I thought looking over the paper carefully.
As I had expected RCT had shown up as a skill on my page and if I wasn't mistaken all that was left was domain expansion before I would cease to gain any new skills. I wasn't surprised by this as that was the last thing available to curse users that wasn't just further refinement of...

Once the Shimura clansmen had been trained in everything I knew that would help them in the mission my job was done. I got a hefty reward for my help by my sensei who understood how much of a slog that sort of work was but I barely cared enough about the reward to even remember it now that I was done. Rather than tempt fate I hid away in my meditation chamber and took a two day power nap. I was...

Rune, Gaia and Vulcan all complained as they were the one's who would need to be in their balls in the cave due to their size or in Vulcans case because caves weren't exactly good places for fast movement or fire type moves.

The next five days weren't really worth talking about to be honest as there was nothing new in that time but the same wake up, hunt the next three floors, return and repeat. I also kept Hestia up to date on my progress and had already made it clear that I was way overdue for an update. She was reluctant to agree but after hearing me nag at her about it for fi...

No one else noticed it but I saw the three tails leave upon Yagura's death like a cloud of steam escaping a boiling pot of water. It wasn't that it was willfully escaping either but as if the world itself wished it to regather elsewhere. I left behind a shadow clone to deal with the aftermath of this battle while following this cloud of energy into the land of rivers and eventually a lake where...

I set these heavy thoughts aside and worked to capitalize on the benefit that this plate offered Tank. As a bug type he naturally had a very short lifespan but in exchange was able to grow much faster than any other typing. It was the exact opposite of a type such as ghost that effectively lived forever unless they were killed off and thus grew rather slowly. Thanks to being able to utilize aur...

This entire resistance was founded because they DIDN'T want to keep seeing their friends, family and comrades die for no good reason.

For even a newbie trainer that amount of money was next to nothing as training pokemon was an expensive thing. ...
