Chapter 3 - choice of a mob

You are always staying in your room they said...

Go to the park and make some friends they said...

Now I'm here at the park sitting on a bench and watching other children.

"I have no idea"

How the hell do shitty brats make friends with each other???

Hmmm....in my university days you just had to offer some free beer so maybe...no better not.

WAIT!!!

Why do I even think about shitty brats!

The world of Naruto is a dangerous place to live!!!

Let's get my mind back to a more important topic.

Since I regained my memories I have come up with some options:

Option 1: living a quiet life as a non-shinobi...even in the unlikely scenario where I miraculously survive till the end of Naruto, what would only await me would be the era of Boruto - where damn aliens invade the planet day and night!!!

Option 2: Obtaining somehow a Sharingan or a tailed beast....nah - if I wanted to commit suicide might as well do it less painfully.

Option 3: Get strong enough to be able to travel the world and then just hide in some unimportant place...

Yeah, option 3 is probably the best.

So then the next question would be how strong would be good enough?

I should be at least strong enough to be able to deal with multiple small fries right?

So I guess around Jonin level?

Ok, that seems achievable even for a mob like me.

So next would be how can I achieve this?

If I just follow the normal shinobi career path with going to the academy and then just doing missions, I would just end up like my parents who only know how to throw some kunai around.

So to be Jonin level I would need some real ninjutsu,

I think when you are a Chunin you can learn some elemental ninjutsu from scrolls which you can borrow....wait what the hell are my parents even doing?

If they learned some I could ask them to train me...but I guess they are just glad that they aren't Genin anymore.

They really have no ambition at all...well my Dad has an ambition but let's not talk about that.

Anyways so that means I just have to advance to Chunin, learn some decent ninjutsu, and then defect.

I would be considered a wanted rouge ninja and would be in the Bingo Book, but it is still better than being forced to fight a rampaging Madara.

Graduating from the academy should be easy since I know which jutsu is tested as the graduation exam.

Yeah that will be as easy for me as stealing candy from children hehehehe

I also know the content of the Chunin Exams where Naruto and the rest will be participating.

That won't be as easy though.

First of all, I need to make sure that my assigned Jonin will allow me to participate in this particular exams.

Furthermore, I need to impress the staff there, so I can be promoted like Shikamaru.

But this will be really hard, considering how stupidly strong some of this generation will be - I legit will be competing against monsters.

But the problem is, is that if I don't participate in this particular exam, I'm not confident at all that I will be able to pass future Chunin Exams without abusing my future knowledge!!!

Just look at the dumb first test!!

How is a normal person supposed to know that you have to cheat!!!

So then the only thing I can do is to make sure that I will be strong enough till then.

Yeah...asking my parents to train me will be a waste of time so let's just look somewhere else.

Well, somehow it was fruitful going outside to think things through so let's head back home...

But why do I have the feeling that I forgot something?

"Oh welcome home Eiji, were you able to make some friends?"

Oh right...

"Yeah I'm now in friendship with nature and decided to live in the woods, I just came here to tell you"

"..."

"I'm just joking. Anyway, what's for dinner?"

While walking inside I hear my mother muttering: "this damn pill made him weird..."

I wonder what she is talking about?
