Chapter 3 - Demon.

The person who caught her blade was an Iwa ninja, a jonin. Tsukimi quickly wrote the kanji for fire in the air and the man's upper body was engulfed in flames. She then jumped away from him.

'He's most certainly not dead. Why couldn't I sense him coming?!' Tsukimi grumbled as she enhanced her entire body with lightning. She made sure to keep [Internal Energy Circulation] active and used [Spiritual Energy Coating] for the first time on her arms, turning them black.

'I should've guessed this was haki, but I didn't really have an opportunity to use it.' She commented as she waited for the man to come out of the dust cloud. Running away wasn't an option so if he wanted a fight, she was going to give him one. But then an idea hit her head, 'I can destroy the bridge and get the quest rewards and then fight him!'

She pivoted her foot to turn her back but in seconds, the man's hulking figure was towering over her with his fist cocked back for a powerful punch. She felt a tingle in the back of her head and quickly moved out of the way before he could hit her.

*BOOM*

His fist left a crater in the ground and he had a savage smile on his face, "How long do you think you can escape me little girl?"

'Snakes, please attack that big motherfucker!' Tsukimi pleaded as she ran towards the bridge. Snakes began to emerge from the forest and latched themselves onto the man.

"Puny reptiles, you are no match for Saka Wakahimo!" He yelled and he was right. Their fangs couldn't penetrate his thick muscles. But that brief distraction was all Tsukimi needed.

In the center of the bridge was a kanji that read 'EXPLOSION' in all caps. The man barreled towards her but she stopped him, "One more step and this bridge is gone! Me and you will both die!"

"Hehehehe, you think little girl?!" Saka laughed stupidly. His brain had no capacity for critical thinking, so he never felt the fear of death. He stepped onto the bridge and Tsukimi grinned.

'Yes, come on you big oaf. Show me how stupid you really are.' Tsukimi thought as Saka took another step, "I thought the bridge was gonna be gone? What happened, too scared to die?"

Tsukimi laughed, "Me? Scared of death?" She dashed towards Saka with a grin. She jumped and swung Wado Ichimonji at his head, aiming to decapitate him. Saka sidestepped and gripped Tsukimi by her skull.

*BOOM*

He slammed her into the ground creating a decent crater in the bridge. She bled from her head but she was still grinning behind his giant hand.

"Gotcha." Tsukimi laughed and the kanji that was on the bridge vanished. Her skin began to melt and all that was left was a clone made of ink. On its forehead read a series of kanji, 'Clone, EXPLOSION!'

Saka widened his eyes but it was already too late. The clone began to bulge and it exploded with the strength of 10 explosive tags.

*BOOM*

The structural integrity of the bridge failed and it began to collapse. Tsukimi watched all of this unfold from the other side.

"Idiot." She laughed as she looked at her system notifications.

Due to the sudden increase in her stats, especially her physical ones, Tsukimi's muscles bulged for a moment. She clicked yes and information flooded her mind, giving her a minor nosebleed.

"My understanding of martial arts, kenjutsu, and chakra has broadened greatly. The way I was swinging and fighting before could be considered sloppy with the knowledge I have now." She said to herself and then thought of her next course of action.

"If I'm not mistaken, Kakashi, Obito, and Rin should be fighting more Iwa shinobi up ahead. If I prevent his "death" then I can save Minato, Kushina, and Naruto. But where's the fun in that?!" She exclaimed with a laugh. Tsukimi is an individual who lives for entertainment and power. These traits about her were present in her past life but have greatly amplified now that she has the power to back her greed.

"System, I can't keep calling you that I'll think of a name for you, anyways, what would happen if I took Obito's Sharingan?" She asked as she trekked into the thick forest.

[It would become a part of your anatomy completely. Allowing you to turn it off and on without any serious drawbacks.]

"I love you system!" Tsukimi said with a bright smile. She then ran into the forest sensing for anything with a chakra level above a genin. Mid-run she realized her clothes were dyed red with blood and were starting to smell.

"System, can I buy some clothes? Or can you clean these for me?" She asked and a black kimono appeared in her hands.

[A freebie, as you would say.]

"If I could kiss you I would." She smiled and put on the kimono. It was a bit big on her but she'd grow into it. It didn't even hinder movement as she dashed through the forest. After 30 minutes of running, she almost gave up on her plan but then she felt the signatures of two ninjas.

She concealed her presence and snuck up on them.

"I'm going to go save Rin, whether you like it or not Kakashi!" Obito yelled and walked off but before he left he turned around again, "And I personally think the White Fang was a hero!"

Kakashi was silent at his words and watched him leave. Tsukimi followed Obito from a distance and watched him find where they were holding Rin.

'Sharingan here I come!' Tsukimi thought to herself excitedly. Just as Obito was about to charge into the rock dome, an Iwa shinobi appeared next to him.

"Going where?" He said and swung his blade at Obito but before it could reach him Kakashi descended from the sky, slashing the man across his chest.

'Ouuu, how interesting.' Tsukimi kicked her feet in the air as she watched from a nearby tree branch. If someone were to look in her direction hard enough they would see her.

A fight ensued causing Kakashi to lose his left eye and Obito to awaken his Sharingan. They killed the Iwa shinobi and advanced towards the rock dome.

"It's about time I get moving." Tsukimi said as she jumped off the tree branch and landed silently on the ground. She stood at the entrance for a moment until the dome suddenly collapsed.

"Now!" She ran inside and avoided the falling boulders while also keeping an eye on Obito.

*BOOM*

Soon the cave collapsed putting Kakashi and Rin out of commission for a moment. Obito almost called out to them but he then saw Tsukimi.

"W-Who are you?" He asked weakly. Tsukimi gave him a sweet smile, "Your savior of sorts. But my services come with a price."

She walked over to the unconscious Kakashi and Rin and wrote 'Sleep' on their foreheads. To keep Kakashi asleep took a considerable amount of chakra but it was worth it to her.

"W-What do you mean? What did you do to my friends?" Obito asked but Tsukimi didn't answer. Her right fist bursted with black chakra and she aimed it at the boulder Obito was under.

"[ROCK]!" She punched the boulder and it exploded into pieces, releasing Obito. But obviously, with half of his body crushed he couldn't move.

"T-Thank you…" He said as Tsukimi stood over him with a glint in her eyes, "No, Obito. Thank you."

She then bent down and dug her fingers into his eye sockets, "AAAAHHHHH!!!" Obito screamed with his remaining strength as Tsukimi took both of his Sharingan.

"So, system, how does this work?" She asked holding both of his eyes.

[Place them near your eyes and I will do the rest.]

"Roger." She did exactly that and with a flash of light, the Sharingan in her hands disappeared and became her own.

[Innate Skill gained: Sharingan: The trademark dojutsu of the Uchiha clan. You will be able to perform genjustu, copy nearly any ninjutsu, genjutsu, or taijutsu. Along with granting you enhanced perception. Current tomoes - 2.]

"M-Monster…" Obito weakly said before passing out. Tsukimi paid him no mind and activated her new eyes. Immediately she felt the whole world slow down and she could see the chakra flow of everyone around her, including the unsuspecting Kakkō outside.

"I'll do all of you a favor, a token of gratitude." She smiled as she jumped up and cut the roof open. Kakkō immediately turned his head but then scoffed, "Where did you come from little girl? Are you lost?"

She smiled and made direct eye contact with him, "Yes mister, please help me find my way back home. I'll lead you to speak to my parents," He was under a genjustu and stood stationary as Tsukimi decapitated him, "in hell."

She flicked the blood off Wado Ichimonji and left the area. Soon the kanji on Kakashi and Rin vanished and they woke up.

"Obito!" They both yelled and rushed to their friend's aid.

"Obito, your eyes…what happened?!" Kakashi asked and Obito woke up in terror, "A demon! She was a demon!"
