I spend the rest of the day once I got home making 50AE Magazines for my gun using the scrap metal. Unlike making the gun, the magazines didn't take long.
I kind of lost it today. My plans in tatters. I really need to get a hold of myself.
By the time it was dinner I had a stack of 50AE Magazines x 36 in my inventory along with my gun. Deactivating The Magic Forge I headed inside to the kitchen to begin preparing dinner.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"So what's for dinner bro?" Tenten called out as she came down the stairs. "Smells good."
Of course, it smells good I just finished arranging the table and putting out the food.
"Whoa, what's that?" Tenten pulled out a chair and sat down.
"This is what I call a Pizza. It's quite simple to make." I cut it out into eight slices and placed one on her plate and put one on mine before taking a seat myself.
"This is good how did you make it?" she asked between bites.
And so I began a short explanation of how to make a Pizza.

Gun Proficiency is now level 4
I began to hum a sing a song to myself as I popped one Zombie after another. At my Gun proficiency level, the only reason I could hit head shot's so easily now was because of the zombies were fucking slow.
More. DIE. DIE and give me moar EXP.
Popping out the empty mag I popped in a new one from my inventory and slammed in and continue to mercilessly murder the fuck out of them....
Head Shot!

I lost count of how many Zombie's I had killed there doesn't seem to be an end to all these zombies? There doesn't seem to be a boss Either no matter how many I kill.
Gun Proficiency is now level 6
Well, that is always good.
_______________________________________________________________________________
The week passed by in a similar pattern,, wake up take prepare breakfast, take tenten to school, return, Enter the dungeon shoot bullet holes through the zombie's headshot's if possible until I run out of ammo, exit the dungeon, practice normal smithing then use the failed result with the MAgic forge to make Ammo. Go for lunch at Ichiraku's sometime's find Naruto there sometimes not. Have lunch go back home. Do exercises like pushups sit up squats until I'm too tired to move. take a break for about an hour. Write stuff on my diary and draw stuff, go for a sprint up to the academy to pick up Tenten and come home, prepare dinner, make then clean up and go to bed do some leaf sticking chakra control exercises until I fall asleep, tired and exhausted.
In the end, it was worth the raise in stats that I got.
Today was the day dad was supposed to come home.
I also gained two whole levels.
"Status."
"Status?" Tenten asked. I was walking her to the academy.
"its nothing."
"Oh, ok."

I had decided to keep my points and keep them in case of emergency. It's not I'm going to need it anytime soon.
_____________________________________________________________________________
As I soon as I dropped Tenten of and started to head home an ANBU dropped and knelt down in front of me.
"Ryuuto-san. Danzo-sama wishes to meet you."
I stilled as my mind processed what I just heard.
I jinxed myself, didn't I?
"Why would the honoured elder wish to speak with me?"
"I am not aware. Danzo-sama merely requested me to ask if you were willing to speak with him."
So he's not going to kidnap me? Internally I breathed a sigh of relief. But if I reject him now he might get forceful or even try to hold Tenten hostage.
I could not risk that. SO I nodded. "Very well." I just hoped I was not in trouble.
The Anbu put a hand on my shoulder and the next moment I found myself on starring down at the village.
Huh, I kind of expected to be thrown in a dark prison or something not somewhere here.
I was on top of the Hokage Monument.
To my right was Danzo.
I was so nervous I had switched back to fake Shard speak.
"Purpose?"
"Hmm, tell me young one, why did you not wish to attend the academy? A fine prodigy like yourself would easily become one of the most powerful shinobi in Konoha."
I had to be careful with what answer I gave.
"Ninja's, Caged, desire Freedom."
"I see, you're indeed a sharp one, and wise for your age. Your father was right about you. The Muramasa clan indeed has a prodigy for the first time."
Wait why is speaking about dad and dad never said anything about a clan.
"Father alright?"
I was almost sure he expressed sorrow, but that couldn't be right.
"I'm sorry, your father has passed away, he was attacked by an unknown enemy ninja."
Why? Why would someone attack Father?
"Escort?"
Did he have no escort?
"Unfortunately, they were killed as well, however one of them managed to leave a report."
So dad did take an escort. but why was he targeted? Or was he simply caught in the crossfire?
He wasn't my dad for long, even if I didn't technically consider him my real dad he still took care of me.
"Elders time important, why you?"
I had a suspicion. Did Danzo kill him?
He let out a chuckle that sounded almost sad.
"I suppose I owe him a lot. He was one of the few dear friends I had. So the least I could do."
"Oh."
Oh, of course, this was not a manga, this was real life. I was judging him with information that was most likely false.
Still, the root might be a thing, and Dad, had connections with Danzo? Holy hell. This was dangerous I had to be careful it's a good thing I keep my dairy, gun and ammo in my inventory can't leave those lying around. How much does he know?
Still, with dad gone, I'll have much less time for levelling up and training, I had to continue smithing in his place in order to pay for the academy tuition for tenten and to keep food on the table. I could use dad's saving but that would probably last about a year at most, I could exchange the gold I had, but I had to find a pawn shop for that, and who would except it from a child? Either they would refuse it or rip me off, after all, I didn't even know the market price for them.
As I came out of my thoughts I found Danzo staring at me and I took a step back in surprise.
"You are quite cautious and wise for your age if it was another six-year-old they would have either denied it and called me a liar or started to cry. Yet instead of doing either of those things. You started to plan. Tell me what were you thinking."
"Money, Food, Academy Tuition. Necessities. Have to take father's place. Out of Materials."
Danzo's lone eye widened just a bit that I almost couldn't catch it.
"I see, you are indeed a prodigy and a very wise one at that." He hummed ."Will, you truly not change your mind about joining the Academy?"
"Negative."
He nodded. "I'll to provide funds for your sister's tuition and the basic necessities and materials for the smith."
I narrowed my eyes, "The catch?"
"Oh?"
I had a stupid impulse that I could not ignore. I deepened my voice and said something i should not have.
"Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is the law of Equivalent Exchange."
Ok, that was stupid but it was cool.
Danzo's lips thinned. Did I make him angry? "Wise indeed." The end of his lips twitched up.
No, hell no that was so wrong, I can't be that wise. Also, Danzo smiling? Are pigs flying yet? Did the world end?
"This right hand of mine is an artificial limb, a scientist created it but I am not satisfied with it. It requires to be replaced every month even if it grants me immense strength."
Holy hell is he telling me what I think he is telling?
As he unbound the bandages it revealed a pale Hashirama arm but thankfully no Sharingan and why aren't you satisfied with your Hashirama arm?
"Specifications?"
His smile widened a bit. "You are the first person who asked that question. Others simply create a metal limb that is too heavy and useless in combat or anything else simply serving as a stump even if it did need little to no maintenance, while I am a retired ninja I still would like it if I could fight at full strength. However, none of the blacksmiths so far has been able to. Create on that even comes close to meeting my expectations. Can you meet my expectations little Ryuuto? Prodigy Blacksmith of the Muramasa-clan?"
Hmmm, wait, the Uchiha were still in the village which no wonder he still doesn't have the entire arms cover in Sharingan. An artificial arm huh? I can't make Automail since it's not actually made for being a weapon. What about an Iron man arm? Yes, that's possible but that's a gauntlet, not an arm. What about Yang's prosthetic arm? Yes, that might work i had an Idea. If I accept this sure it might turn out alright but I was to make him indebted to me so he would take a second thought if he ever comes across the thought of getting rid of me. What bout Genos's arm? Yes, it's definitely a weapon and it doesn't need maintenance. Extremely strong and durable though I'll have to adjust it so it can connect it to human tissue and make sure it can run on chakra instead. Wait what about his eyes? I can make him a cybernetic eyeball that would be capable of a lot of things.
"Your eye?"
"What of it."
"I can make an arm and an eye."
"Oh, very well how long do you think it will take?"
"Don't know..."
"Hmmm, very well, Neko!"
An ANBU appeared beside Danzo kneeling in front of him. "Hai!"
"He shall wait outside your house if there is anything you need such as a material or food you may ask him and when you have finished inform him and he will bring you to me. If you have met my expectations I shall provide a monthly stipend funds with your sister's academy tuition as well as any other necessities you might need. Is that acceptable?"
I nodded.
"Very well, Neko you are tasked with his protection Hebi will take the night shift."
"Hai Danzo-sama." With that the next instant I was in front of my house.
Great, how the hell am I suppose to tell Tenten about this without traumatizing her?
