[BOOK 4] The demon's generation

Chapter 2 - Oni

Karma Uzumaki's POV

Angra Mainyu.

A will of corruption. It's a product created from the death of powerful beings.

Sometimes, Angra Mainyu inherited the memories and nucleic heart of the original individual.

And sometimes, they were born from soul shattering that causes the Voice of the world to think they're a lost soul rather than an empty Angra Mainyu.

That is the case of what I am researching right now.

Upon our fights, Yuuki and I produced not one, but two Angra Mainyu.

Bad.

Rather than giving my condolences to the worlds they reincarnated into, I should probably go and stop them.

Just when I made that resolve, I arrived at the probable destination of their reincarnation.

Which is narutoverse.

But it seems like space-time control affected the Angra Mainyus.

Meaning their souls were reincarnated or transmigrated in all different kinds of timelines.

How troublesome.

Therefore, I go back in time AGAIN.

At the narutoverse, my gaze landed on a white-haired bishoujo who's cursing on top of her lungs.

She seemed to be complaining about Voice of the world and not being able to change her gender.

I spot on the Angra mainyu directly.

「YES! I-I mean- N-no! I MEAN... WHO'S KARMA!?」

The girl panicked.

Wow… this is comedy.

I like this.

However, it doesn't seem like she has any corrupted intentions though?

Her soul is an actual soul.

Unlike Velda's lump of memories and negative energies coating an already dead nucleic core.

In other words,

This girl is a type of Angra Mainyu that reincarnated.

Voice of the world must've mistaken her/him as a lost soul containing magicules.

Interesting…

Well then, should I really kill her?

I don't think so.

She doesn't suddenly think she's me, the Karma Uzumaki.

But she seems rather confused.

Maa~ I cast Thought Guidance her words just to escalate the situation quickly.

Of course, making Kakashi suddenly realized she's "Karma Uzumaki" is also created from my interference.

Umu, we can guide her to our side with this.

But there's one more thing left to do…

Just to be safe…

I seal myself inside of her.

『Kinjutsu: Neutrality Karmic Seal!』

Fufu, Now this will be fun.

Third person's POV

In a certain house where the rokudaime Hokage lives, a white-haired bishoujo sat on the couch in the living room.

「Gambler, activate!」

Just as she said that, a green translucent screen popped in front of her.

The screen only has an option; Gacha.

The very familiar 1x roll button, 10x roll button, and a currency of a blue-ish purple star called primogems on the top right corner.

Confirming this fact, the girl frowned and shouts once again.

「…Stats! 」

Nothing happened.

The frown on her face disappeared while it changes to a worried expression.

「Status!」

Nothing responded.

「Edit!」

Nope.

Sigh*

She takes a deep breath.

Nameless Majin's POV

Sigh* so it's different than the 『Gamer』's skill huh?

Now, this is quite a problem.

I don't even have a way to check my nucleic heart for skills.

Shouldn't this world already have a voice of the world too?

A 『great sage』 or 『observation』 will really help right now…

≪You currently have 100 skill points.≫

Uwaa!??

T-that scared me…

≪The skill 『Appraisal』lv. 1 costs 100 skill points to learn. Would you like to learn this skill?≫

What the heck?

Is this really the Voice of the world?

Skill points she said?

Since when did I make such a thing?

…no, my core is activated.

Which means, rather than the Voice of the world, this is a skill.

But what ski-

Ah… Customer.

Why do this look and sound familiar?

There's no screen, but her voice is very familiar.

Umu. Maybe I should go with appraisal?

I could probably try to replicate 『Gamer』 skill from my memory.

But maybe I should check another ski-

DING*

≪The skill 『Appraisal』lv. 1 costs 100 skill points to learn. Would you like to learn this skill?≫

No.

Just to satisfy this sense of nostalgia I had, can I buy the gamer skill with this?

≪The skill 『Playful』lv. 1 costs 100 skill points to learn. Would you like to learn this skill?≫

… that doesn't sound like a skill at all…

Now what should I do…

This one sounds weird, but it can maybe be a rare skill considering the points it cost…

Looking at the unique skills like Gluttony, Merciless, and other kinds of skill, this "Playful" sounds like a unique judging by its name.

There's no "control" or "manipulation" at the end, there's no EX at the end or anything similar looking at the word.

I'd say this skill might be a unique so…

Ye-

「I have your adoption papers~!」

「KYAA!?」

That cute shrieks unintentionally came out from me.

After letting that cute voice, I covered my mouth with my hands.

Oh I was embarrassed alright…

Slowly, I turn around.

It was the dumbfounded Kakashi.

He didn't even get in from the door but teleported here instead.

This guy's smirk of mischief can be seen clearly even with the mask covering him.

「Ah? Sorry, did I startle you? That was a cute voice by the wa-」

「SHUT UP!」

.
.
.

After an episode of me trying to hit his head with a broom I found in the room, which I hoped was enough to create the effect of short-term memory loss, Kakashi handed out a paper for me.

「Just sign here and we're done.」

Stated.

I glanced at it.

He called me "Riko" earlier, which is not really a name I would prefer.

But when my gaze landed at the kanji…

"Riko"

It means Jasmine and Truth.

OI!

Wasn't this means "True Woman"!?

KAKASHIII!!!!!

With a vein on my head, I tried to hit Kakashi with the earlier broom.

But, well, he dodges.

Just as I swung the broom left and right.

Kakashi stopped while he raised a hand to catch the broom before it slammed to his head.

「Now now, Riko-chan, Sakura already heard your name. It would be weird if you suddenly changed your name, right~?」

I've said it but I'll say it again, ISN'T THIS TOO MUCH OF A CHANGE IN HIS PERSONALITY!?

「DON'T GIVE ME THAT BULL! YOU'VE PLANNED TO GIVE ME THAT NAME TO MESS WITH ME ALL ALONG, WEREN'T YOU!?」

I lashed my anger out.

「Maa~ don't make early conclusion now, why would Otou-san do that to his daughter?」

THIS GUY-!?

「I'M LEAVING」

「A-a-ah! Alright alright! I'm sorry alright? The name just came out of nowhere, I swear!」

Kakashi stopped me from leaving the house.

.
.
.

「…fine, But I'm not wearing your fetish clothes. 」

「…why would I even do that to my daughter?」

That's how it was escalated after an episode of my cursing.

「Maa~ now that's all ended… from now on, you are Riko Hatake」

After that remark, my body glowed.

I feel… stronger!

And my soul… there's a link to someone/something.

This must be Kakashi's.

But after that, Kakashi widened his eyes and clutches his head before his legs starts to get wobbly.

「Kakashi!」 Now that's me shouting in worry.

Eventually, Kakashi closed his eyes for a second after he fall to his knees.

He opened his eyes.

While looking at the massive amounts of Magicules gathered around his purple eye that was caught by Universal detect, I realize this world is filled with Magic essences.

Right, this world evolved.

I sometimes forgot about that.

Kakashi's… "Jashingan" though, sucked Magicules in the air.

He's replenishing his Magic?!

WHAT A TERRIFYING MP REPLENISHMENT RATE!

After a while, Kakashi stands up.

「I'm alright, that should be the effect of "Naming" huh? I tried replicating them with pakkun, it worked, but not this much. It also seemed like it didn't apply to humans so, What are you right now?」

I went silent.

What am I, you ask?

A human born from Magic?

That should be it.

I'm a Majin.

And now that I was "named", will I evolve or only gets stronger?

I don't-

DING*

≪『Nameless Majin』 has received the name, 『Riko Hatake』 Gift upon evolution will be bestowed≫

DING*

≪PROFICIENCY REACHED, SKILL <UNIVERSAL DETECT LV 1> BECAME < UNIVERSAL DETECT LV 2>.≫

DING*

≪EXPERIENCE POINTS HAVE REACHED THE FIXED AMOUNT. MAJIN LV 8 BECAME LV 9.≫

-EVERY BASIC ABILITY INCREASED.
-SKILL PROFICIENCY LEVEL UP BONUS RECEIVED.

≪PROFICIENCY REACHED, SKILL <UNIVERSAL THREAD LV 1> BECAME < UNIVERSAL THREAD LV 2>.≫

DING*

≪EXPERIENCE POINTS HAVE REACHED THE FIXED AMOUNT. MAJIN LV 9 BECAME LV 10.≫

-EVERY BASIC ABILITY INCREASED.
-SKILL PROFICIENCY LEVEL UP BONUS RECEIVED.

≪PROFICIENCY REACHED, SKILL <LUST LV 1> BECAME < LUST LV 2>.≫

≪CONDITION CLEARED. INDIVIDUAL MAJIN IS ABLE TO EVOLVE.≫

≪THERE ARE MULTIPLE OPTIONS OF EVOLUTION. PLEASE CHOOSE FROM THE FOLLOWING.≫

- Lesser demon (B+)
- Kijin (C+)


Just as I was thinking about it, such notifications came.

Ignoring the attentive Kakashi who saw my flinch upon hearing these notifs, I pondered at the voice's words.

Now this is a problem.

This may not be tensura, but the demon tribe's power is sealed.

Even they had freedom, they won't be able to evolve further no matter how many souls from the offerings they got, from what I had remembered.

Unless they were named by someone, then an archdemon would advance as a demon duke.

So…

A grin plastered itself on my face.

I looked at Kakashi.

「Of course I'm an Oni (Kijin)! Isn't that obvious!?」

(Chair-kun/Door-kun: Oni is also Demon in Japanese)
