Due to unfortunate complications I ended up having to archive the previous thread and make a new one. I apologize for the inconvenience but we're almost there to the Chuunin Exams. The next two events are way smaller in comparison to land of Snow arc. So get hyped.

Another thing. Apologizes in advance about this but I was doing some extensive research for future plans. And I ended up thinking midway about Tenten. Like Sakura, Tenten is a character that is never properly developed. Forever shrouded in extensive mystery that never gets touched upon aside from her dream and vague training in the anime filler. Now I have some ideas to better structure future events with her but I thought it would be more fun/interesting to let you pick her background much like with our protagonist.

Recap no Jutsu

>After spending a week of training, Kakashi appointed Sasuke and Naruto fit to accompanying you in safeguarding Tazuna. Due to overexertion, Naruto was put on bedrest while the rest of your team accompany Tazuna
>From out of nowhere You and the rest of Team Seven was ambushed by Zabuza Momochi and Haku Yuki.
>Faced with adversity you assigned yourself to protecting Tazuna while assisting Sasuke as he transitions into his battle with Haku
>Tensions rises as Sasuke Uchiha found himself trapped in Haku’s Ice Mirror Dome. An Unlikely visit from Naruto Uzumaki gave way to you assisting from underground while the two boys directly confront Haku.
>Despite your best efforts, Naruto and Sasuke suffer a constant barrage from Haku until the Ice release wielder flushed you out with deadly ice techniques.
>Triggered from your Genjutsu, Sasuke Uchiha awakened the Sharingan as you directly fight against Haku. The battle escalates to the climax through quick wit and deception from Haku. You watch helplessly as Sasuke was forced to protect Naruto, thus pushing him to the brink of death.
>In your awakened fury you manage to quickly turn the tides on Haku. Before the two of you could finish your fight, you were interrupted by a possessed Kyuubi Naruto. Through Naruto’s efforts, you quickly rushed to Sasuke’s aid.
>Pushed in between a difficult situation, you gambled on preforming medical ninjutsu for the first time to save Sasuke’s life. Your dire efforts end up successful as you revive Sasuke from his death like state.
>Through Inner Sakura you learn about Haku’s true identity and his ultimate fate as he sacrifices himself to safe Zabuza. You could only watch in sorrow and sadness as Naruto manages to convince Zabuza to have a change of heart and sacrifice himself to eliminate Gato once and for all.
>With the threat over and reinforcements arrived, Team Seven was left to celebrate a bittersweet victory as they soon bury their fallen adversaries.
>After some much reflection on what it means to be a ninja, you end up taking the Kubikiribōchō aka Executioner’s Blade.
>Once the great Naruto bridge was completed Team seven resume to head home. Upon returning home you ended up breaking down and hugging your parents Mebuki and Kizashi Haruno.
>After some much needed rest, you return to training in your secret spot. There you reunite with Rock Lee, Tenten and Neji Hyuuga.
>Sharing your adventures in the land of Waves made you reflect upon your first meeting with Team Guy.

>Through a strange chain of events you found yourself being challenged by the previous top graduate Neji Hyuuga.
>Accepting the challenge, you set the battlefield at Akagahara tomorrow. Motivated by this, Rock Lee decides to train you in preparation of the duel.
>On the promise day you decide to confront Neji after scouting the area beforehand.
>A climatic battle between the two Ace Students commence. Although with your greater physical strength and durability, you find yourself forced on the defensive against Neji’s superior reflexes and speed.
> To counteract this, you decide to use your environment including the traps in order to find a weakspot in Neji’s Absolute Defenses. A valid effort that ultimately leads to you aiming the rusty Kunai at Neji’s blindspot. Unfortunately, the Kunai was too rusted to deal a deceive blow and instead you found yourself having your chakra network disrupted by Neji’s swift attack.
>Out of options you bet it all on the Red Lotus. With your herculean strength pushed to the limit you overpowered Neji’s absolute defense. Forcing the gifted Hyuuga to use his ultimate technique the Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation to counter. Although you broke through the barrier, the accumulated damage and overall strain of Red Lotus puts you at a grievous disadvantageous.
>The fight was left to a draw due to an unforeseen accident and growing concerns over the damage to the arena. Before any of you could escape Might Guy manages to make a sudden appearance.
>Lectured by the experience Jounin, you found yourself drafted into Might Guy’s teachings which you graciously accept.
>Back in present time you received an unexpected visit from Yugao Uzuki. Requested by Kakashi Hatake, Yugao was sent to teach you battle sense among an assortment of other skills including Kenjutsu.
>Because of Yugao’s duties as Anbu Commander and current leader of team Ro. Your Kenjutsu training was primarily governed by Yugao’s fiancé Hayato Geckko.
>Through your talk with Yugao you learned portions of Kakashi Hatake’s past, more on Sasuke Uchiha’s life including Yugao being his legal guardian, and the lingering secret of Itachi Uchiha.
>As you focused on training, Yugao strictly teaches you about the intent and willpower of another including how to use one’s spiritual energy to affect the psyche. You were met with a powerful yet terrifying presence as even with Inner Sakura’s help you couldn’t defend against Yugao’s killing intent.
>Forced to come to the realization of the weakness of will, you strive to endure Yugao’s training to improve yourself mentally and spiritually in addition to physically. Through Yugao you also learned how to deal with fear and pain as you begin to strive against your weaknesses in combat.

>The next two to three weeks you continued your Kenjutsu and Sense training, interacting with friends during your down time and doing minor missions. Before long you and the rest of team seven decide to spend some bonding time watching a Princess Fuun movie.
>After the screening you found yourself suddenly wrapped into another mission by your squad leader Kakashi. It was to escort Princess Fuun aka Yukie Fujikaze to the Land of Snow.
>Upon accepting the mission you start to have a rocky start with the actress Yukie Fujikaze. Using the transformation jutsu you manage to trick Yukie to getting onto the boat.
>During the boat ride you and the rest of team seven underwent the water walking surface training. For you however, you went and improve your sensing skills and improve your chakra managements via transforming into an older version of yourself.
>In between bonding with Team Seven and helping them train, you learn through Yukie’s about her past and her true identity as Kyouki Kazahana. Despite your best efforts, you only ended up fighting with Kyouki and leaving in a fit of agitation.
>The Next day during shooting on a giant iceberg island, you found yourself attacked by Nadare, Fubki and Mizore. Naturally you took to protecting Princess Kyouki, but due to your disjointed teamwork and Kyouki’s PTSD you found yourself pinned and abused by Mizore’s grappling hook.
> Through clever trickery with a fake necklace, you allowed Team Seven to regroup and escape from the iceberg island. As you recovered, you ended up having a mental breakdown and dispute a fight with Naruto and Sasuke.
>You went to calm down elsewhere only to have Sasuke appear to treat your wounds. By exchanging small talk, you ultimately broke down and revealed the inner turmoil that still plagued you from the land of waves.
>With Sasuke’s conformation and comfort you found yourself recovering from your inner suffering and gain further insight on your path to achieving your dream. In the debriefing you learned the power of makeshift Elemental Bloodlines as well as the chakra armor and true goal of Sandayu, the manager of Princess Kyouki and former advisor to the daimyo of the land of snow.
>Enraged by the truth you ended up picking a fight with both Kyouki and Sandayu. After leaving in a storm, you were confronted by Naruto. Like Sasuke, Naruto helped you recovered from the inner turmoil inside as you strengthen your bonds with Team Seven.
>During the next stop towards your destination Princess Kyouki manages to escape from watch. Working with Naruto you managed to find the princess unconscious in the icy forest. During the walk the three of you manage to share a moment while walking into a large cave.
>Much to your surprise you quickly found yourself on chakra heating train tracks. To make matters worse a giant train was coming your way. With precise timing you and Naruto manage to jump ontop of the train where you were greeted by Fubuki.

How redundant.
>>
>>3539698

>With Naruto’s assistance you were relieved of protecting Fubuki. Instead you went and do battle with Fubuki on a moving train. Turning the tide in your favor, Fubuki counteracts you by knocking you into the sky and continue her assult. Despite being made into a ragdoll, you managed to time a successful cross counter punch via Red Lotus + Mimicking Lee’s movements.
>With Fubuki defeated you quickly made your way back to the train. To your horror you saw Sandayu and his army watching into a death trap set up by Doto Kazahana. Using Shinra Banshou + Earth Style you managed to protect the army. Unfortunately, Doto manages to kill Sandayu in a last stand before meeting with you.
>In a short battle, Doto easily defeats you with a point blank Ice Dragon Blizzard before flying off with the princess and hexagonal crystal in hand. Through creative quick thinking you manage to recover through using Shinra Bansho + Kubikiribōchō. At the same time, you were forced to steel your resolve to push your morality in using a fresh corpse to restore yourself fully.
>Disguising yourself as Fubuki you manage to infiltrate Doto’s castle and learn the secret to his master plan and research. In addition, you rely a message to Sasuke and Kakashi in Morse Code. Because of your intervention Naruto and Kyouki manages to escape from the holding cell.
>Through a series of events Doto manages to recapture Kyouki and head off to the massive mirror reactor. To make matters worse, Inner Sakura and Sasuke were forced to fight an injured Fubuki and Mizore. Taking advantage of the situation you direct Inner Sakura to defeat and restrain the snow ninjas while you continue to tail Doto.
>Arriving at the reactor Doto quickly explains his true goals and deduce your real identity. Forced to take action, you quickly reunite with Naruto and Sasuke. Arriving at the final battle,Team Seven confronts Doto as the reactor activates.

“One more thing.” Without warning you yank off the Chakra Negator safely off Naruto’s stomach before sealing it in a scroll.

“Thanks Sakura! Now I can fight at full power.” Naruto goes to hug you much to your embarrassment.

“Easy, easy! We’re trying to win a fight here!” You push Naruto off after getting annoyed by the hug.

“So annoying.” Sasuke mutters, getting into a stance.

“It makes no difference. Zero Power is still Zero Power. “Doto reiterates as he walks down from the reactor. He was meeting the three of you head on for this final showdown.

“Let’s go” The three of you said in unison.

“Shadow Clone Jutsu!”

Naruto summons a large barrage of clones. While not at the level of the multi-Shadow Clone jutsu there was still quite a lot of Naruto clones. Each of the Naruto clone charges forward to attack Doto in a straight line.

“You fools think I can’t handle clones of this magnitude.” Doto starts to weave hand signs as you can tell it was the Black Dragon Blizzard Jutsu.

“Earth Style Practice Brick Jutsu! “

“Ice Release: Black Dragon Blizzard!”

Just in the nick of time you manage to make a multilayer barricade of stone enhanced by Shinra Banchou to take on the materializing Black Dragon. It gave the group cover while serving as a distraction for you to dive underground and simultaneously make Inner Sakura.

The Dragon eventually breaks through the barricade of dense rocks, but that was not the true purpose of the jutsu. The true purpose made itself apparent given Doto’s annoyed face. Doto soon see himself staring at the upcoming onslaught of multiple Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura clones. Each one charging from multiple angles in over to overwhelm Doto.

Exchanging countless blows with Doto, the Team Seven clones continue to keep him at bay while doing very little to actually hurt him. You begin to take note of his strong armed fighting style. He was a bruiser much like you but with the added defense of the Chakra Armor and his Black Dragon techniques.

However, your constant Earth Release defenses didn’t exactly give him the standard accuracy needed to make powerful and decisive blows.

You were really putting your knowledge of the first with Doto to good use in disruption. The real Naruto uses this chance to rescue the princess without him noticing.

To make matters worse for Doto, you were keeping him on edge with the explosive tag land mines Inner Sakura set up earlier. You were really making him keep up his guard as the environment was your greatest weapon. Quite literally in fact as all those constant explosions gave you countless giant rocks to chuck at him to deflect.
>>
>>3539741

“Annoying insects. Try this on for size. Ice Release: Twin Dragon Blizzard.”

To everyone’s surprise Doto aims both his hands at multiple directions before summoning two massive Black Dragons. In an instant they start to tear through the lands, obliterating the team seven clones as all of them were made by Naruto who disguised several of his clones as Sasuke and Sakura so they could conserve their energy for their offensive attacks. To your horror you would also see your traps being ravaged by the ice dragons as Doto stands victorious.

As he stood his ground, two remaining Naruto clones charged at him from multiple sides. Doto was easily preparing for another Twin Dragon attack while blocking their attacks.

“More clones? Try to be more original then tha-“

To Doto’s Surprise he would be caught off guard by the latest act of trickery. What he expected were more Naruto clones were in fact Inner Sakura and Sasuke. This gave them the opening to lift Doto into the air with a timed kick before the two worked together to attack the center focus point of the armor.

Wearing down Doto with hit and run tactics was your bread and butter as the substitution jutsu kept him from landing a direct blow. His irritation was growing more and more as the battle went on. On team seven’s end it was rather hard to shatter Doto’s iron defenses.

In that exchange of blows, Inner Sakura manages to pull out the Kubikiribōchō to take full advantage of the opening Sasuke was making with his fancy footwork and shurikenjutsu. A tactic that merely annoyed him as he results to using the gauntlets to block the constant shurikens before seeing the fuma shuriken in action.

With one mighty swing, Inner Sakura slams the sword straight towards where Doto was forced to move after dodging the fuma shuriken spam. Unfortunately, even with that split second opening, Doto still manages to catch the sword with both hands.

“That’s a rather nice sword. Too bad you don’t have the skills to handle such a beauty.”

“I don’t know; it’s doing its job perfectly.”

“What are you tal-“

“Afterglow”

From out of nowhere Sasuke delivers a vertical slash with the Chakra Blade Katana you lent him. Aiming at the spine was a detrimental to weakling a martial artist’s fighting capabilities. Even with the Chakra Armor he was going to be feeling that.

Doto was kneeling back, giving Inner Sakura the chance to use Kubikiribōchō in a powerful arc swing against Doto. The first critical damage that Team Seven was able to make. The armor manages to hold itself together but it was clear that it has seen better days.

Doto quickly bounces back as he goes to use another Ice Dragon Blizzard. A move that Inner Sakura withstood by using her earth chakra flow and Kubikiribōchō together to withstand the attack and to keep her at place obscuring Doto’s view. The sword was holding up but that rock armor crumbling.
>>
>>3539745

Now Sasuke!”

“Uchiha Style: Dance of the Sun Halo!”

Using your Chakra Blade Katana, Sasuke manages to deliver a powerful point blank sword slash. The attack was enhanced further thanks to previously running at Doto at high speeds thanks to the chakra flowing through his legs.

The Chakra Armor while it manages to absorb the full brunt of the massive flame strike, there was a crack forming on the device. For added effect, he also swings his own Tanto weapon as it emits a crimson colored upon making impact with the sword, damaging the core further.

“Don’t think a feeble attack like that will be enough to bring me to my knees boy!” Doto swings his fist towards Sasuke with great force.

Inner Sakura took the blow for Sasuke, pushing him back before sliding off to the ground. Naruto rushes to catch Sasuke but Doto puts further strain on the armor by speeding his movements.

Seeing this you quickly travel to meet him in mid-strike. It was a valid effort but futile as he summons another Black Dragon Blizzard at point blank range. You could only manage to reduce the power via Shinra Banshou's defenses before getting swept by the attack.

All three of you were smacked down by the abet weaker dragon, sending each of you diving down into the depths of the sea. Leaving Kyouki to call out your names while Doto laughs victorious at assuming he finally eliminated team Seven.

Underneath the depths of the ocean waters. You, Sasuke and Naruto slowly awaken from being on the receiving end of the Black Dragon attack. The three of you pull together your chakra as you begin to make your last stand known.

Doto quickly witnesses a massive typhoon rises up from the lake’s waters. He was previously walking back to the generator to properly harvest the untapped chakra in these lands. Emerging from the typhoon was a sea of Naruto clones.

This time Naruto was using the Multi-Shadow Clone. This massive army of Naruto combined with this giant disaster was enough to keep Doto distracted. There was a lot of clones so it was going to take him quite the while to obliterate them.

“Won’t you ever learn? No matter how you multiply, zero power is still Zero!”

Doto once again called forth the Twin Dragon Blizzard to tackle the threat in front of him. Several of the Naruto clones were wiped out in an instant from the twin Black Dragons running amuck. It went as far as to clash with the spiraling vortex to turn it into a black twister. Truthfully this was just a decoy to keep Doto from noticing your real aim.

The true final ditch effort that you, Sasuke and Naruto came up with was a final charge. Sasuke was proving the Fire Chakra while Naruto gave his Wind Chakra. This left you primarily on Shape Manipulation and Balancing duty.

Although you did add an extra bonus based off of your Earth Style training. The intense pressure and sheer condensed density was creating a faint gravitational pull. If nothing else, you didn’t want Doto to be able to dodge from this.

The three of you put your everything into this final attack. The raging flames grew intensely from the spiraling winds as you compact the dual forces into its smallest form.

This Combination Ninjutsu took the form of a largely condensed orb. With each of your hands touching one another, transporting the orb was easy.

As Doto finishes off the last of the barrage he found himself satisfied with his action. He was now drunk with power. So much in fact that he went into a villainous chuckle.

Meanwhile the mirrors that were extracting the Aurora Borealis intensifies further once the Sun starts to shine.

“It’s over now! I have won! Once again I have proven that my Chakra Armor is invincible!”

“I told you already, it isn’t over yet!”

“Huh!?!”

As Doto looks around for that voice, he was soon met with a sight that drove him to pure unrelenting fury. There it was. Team Seven was putting the final touches to their Collaboration Ninjutsu.

Naruto was having a shit eating grin while Sasuke could only look at the scene with mild annoyance.You on the other hand mentally sighed to yourself, struggling hard to keep a straight face for what Naruto said next.
>>
>>3539970

“Didn’t I tell you? If you say something is over, it means that justice prevails and evil loses! It’s obvious that this story will have a happy ending for all…. except you!”

“Once again you blew our cover….and to say something that cheesy to boot. You really are an idiot.”

“Yeah but he’s our idiot. And we’re good to go anyway. Although you might as well have thrown a speech about friendship and bonds into it if you really want to complete the cheese.”

“Both of you are ruining the moment! Ugh, Let’s go Team 7!”

“Right!” You and Sasuke said in unison.

Princess Kyouki was cheering the three of you on. Believing deep in her heart that the three of you are the strongest and undefeatable team. That was a little much of an exaggeration. And yet you still couldn’t help be encouraged by her words. It only motivated Team Seven that much more as they start charging towards Doto.

For reasons that were unknown to any of you, the nature chakra that was the Aurora Borealis was flowing directly into your team’s combination attack. The strange chakra enwraps around the three of you. This circulation of rainbow-like chakra envelops the three of you in a swirling Chakra flow style armor.

Was it the shard of Chakra armor that you took during the last attack to help balance the chakra via Shinra Banshou? Was the sheer force of the Scorch Release collaboration jutsu drawing everything around it? Or was this some sort of miracle formed from the bonds of friendship? It was hard to say. Honestly it didn’t matter how it was happening, it was helping you and that’s all that matters.

“Disappear into oblivion!”

Once again Doto fires another Black Dragon at you. Unlike last time it seems that the rainbow chakra combined with your intense running speed was shielding you from the attack. A rainbow barrier formed to continuously block the multitude of Black Dragons Doto kept shooting at you.

The closer your team came to the threat range of your Collaboration Ninjutsu, the more Doto was driven into a corner. Fear starts to slowly creep on him at the realization. He stubbornly refused to acknowledge his defeat was coming.

With one final Twin Dragon Blizzard shot, Doto watches in horror at the combined dragon breaking apart from your teamwork.

“Scorch Release: Blazing Rainbow Hurricane! “

The three of you thrust the huge ball of rainbow chakra directly into Doto’s chest. It was hard to tell which hurt worse. The intense scorching heat of the orb or the tremendously dense vortex that continuously grinds deeply into Doto’s armor.
>>
>>3539979

Either way, Doto was sent flying into the distance. Almost like a shooting star, Doto was rendered helpless by the attack.

Despite this, he tries to once again use his Chakra Armor to stop this. This time by absorbing the Aurora Borealis to create an invisible shroud just like the three of you.

A fatal lapse in judgment as the Chakra armor went berserk. It was absorbing far too much Chakra and couldn’t hold it on its own anymore. So it did the next best thing…. store it into Doto’s body.

He could only look in horror as his body was turning into stone. The Scorch Release speeds up the unfortunate transformation for Doto.

With an agonized scream Doto turned to stone while his body continue to fly off into the distance. Chances are by the time he would land, his now petrified body would shatter against the ground. Doto’s reign was finally over.

With a loud cheer, the three of you celebrate your victory. Completely unaware of the unfortunate fate that Doto suffered.

It was a pretty wonderful attempt for your first try at making a makeshift Advance Nature Transformation Jutsu.

Of course the three of you quickly collapse on to the ground. The adrenaline was wearing off and all three of you were positively spent after pulling off a move like that.

Leaving with Kyouki to deal with stopping the generator and momentarily changing the scenery to that of a spring garden. It was the safest way to distribute that amass of Nature Chakra without risking an explosion.

“Pretty sure this should negatively impact the ecosystem….” You muttered, taking note of the now flourishing grassland.

“I’m sure it’s fine. Don’t be a nerd Sakura.”

“I’d punch you for that if I could lift a muscle.”

“Give it a rest. I’d like to pass out in peace.”

The three of you ended up arguing for a bit before laughing yourselves unconscious. The last thing you would see is Kakashi and Kyouki coming to your side.

For the next several days the three of you ended up in the hospital due to injuries and overexerting yourselves. Luckily you had your own room so you can at least read a book without Naruto and Sasuke arguing.

With the mission over and Princess Kyouki now taking reign as the new Daimyo there was nothing to worry about. Doto’s research and military resources were confiscated and all of his men were taken to a special prison. All potential loose ends were all tied up. So you can focus on recovery and relaxation as Team Seven returns home.

He just knows enough wind to pull this off. He hasn't fully developed jutsus yet.

I hope we got our hands on an Ice Bomb.

>>3539982
So I'm sure I'm just asking what's on everyone's minds here, but who got signed photographs with the now-Daimyo/film star?
>>
>>3539982

>>3539988
Support. But also get Hinata involved. Time for some girl time after having to deal with blockheaded boys and annoying princesses.

Also adding
>Track down Shikamaru to commiserate about how troublesome '''C''' rank escort missions are.
We haven't spent time with him for ages.

Training-wise, might as well take it easy right after a mission so
>Work on one handed seals
Perfect this
>Help along Naruto with his chakra flow training
We literally pulled off a proto-Rasengan here, that might motivate him to put more effort in.
>>
>>3540001
Yeah. We're gonna be dragged into Kenjutsu lessons later in order to inevitably handle Kubikiribōchō a bit better but Girl time, Shikamaru bonding and these choices for training will shore up our current issues outside of Chakra capacity.
>>
>>3540001
>>3539982
Support


>Help along Naruto with his chakra flow training
Since we're doing this anyway can we work with both boys to improve our new scorch release? It helps the boys teamwork and shows Sasuke that team = strength.
>>
>>3540035
Teamwork drills would be nice, since they seem to be getting the hang of it during missions.
...Though there is a lingering feeling that it'll be a hard road.
>>
>>3540073
Might as well lay the groundwork for it now, since the exams are just around the corner.
>>
>>3539990

All three of you did. Kakashi got the best surprise of his life with the new Ichi Ichi Paradise movie coming out.

For the training aspect, do you want a quick summary or to actually min-max it before the next mission.
>>
We should do something with the Chakra Armor we stole. If modify it for our use it solve a major problem we’re suffering from.
>>
>>3540083
I think a quick summary this time will do.
>>
Since we're only doing
>One handed handsigns
>Naruto chakra flow
>Scorch release
as well as our regular conditioning (sword, physical), might as well have a quick summary.

I think we should save min maxing if Sakura is trying to train multiple elements at the same time (e.g nature AND shape AND chakra flow, like she was trying to in wave.)
>>
>>3540104
Actually we can use a blindfold and clones all throughout that training.
>>
>>3540132
Wait why though. For sensing?

We could maybe have Inner work on sensing while the real sakura works on the scorch release and helps Naruto maybe.
>>
>>3540083
Quick summary is fine
>>
Wait is it possible to train intelligence?
>>
>>3540676

You train it by gaining experience and knowledge thus becoming wiser. Which is a no brainer given how much an egghead Sakura is.
>>
>>3540848

Also for the record you're getting another lesson in elemental Nature soon. But can I just say this. Fuck the novels with mud release. There's 2 missing combination to the list of known advance nature transformation which I finally managed to figure out a viable combination for them both. But rather than establish covering those in the novels, they instead introduce advance forms of the basic elements like with Blaze Release. Not to mention the headache that is Mud release. As well as the return of the Steel Release. Might as well canonize Crystal while you at it. And why didn't they make an advance form of Lightning release while they're at it
>>
>>3540976
Honestly if we consider advanced nature releases a sort of synthesis and refinement of the basic elements and that the basic elements are loosely based on Wu Xing it makes some sense.
>>
>>3540976
blaze release is kinda bullshit because mangkeyo sharingan is bullshit
>>
>>3541040

It is bullshit cause the uchihas themselves are bullshit, but on Blaze Release on its own it has contradictions. Kishimoto wanted us to think Sasuke's special for being unique enough to make it all on his own during his bout with A. But then he has Tobirama mention seeing this move before in his lifetime. So either Tobirama been dealing with a lot Amateratsu shooting uchihas in his life or there's other ways to reach the goal and Sasuke just took the most abusive. Blue Flames for non-uchihas/Matatabi, Black Flames for Uchiha

Blaze Release – Advance Fire Release
Typhoon Release – Advance Wind Release
Slime/Mud Release – Advance Water Release
Crystal Release – Advance Earth Release
Light Release – Advance Lightning Release

Flare Release – Fire + Lightning
Wave Release – Wind + Lightning

Steel Release is going to be a Kekki Toka, unless I can be better convinced to flip Crystal and Steel’s positioning.

As for Mud, most if not all the techniques I read about it involve liquefying solid ground into pure sticky mud like substance. Most of the mud-like attacks in the main series either use pre-existing mud or rely on water in some way to become more powerful/functional. And given how corrosive some of the other water releated advance nature transformations, it makes the most sense to me.

I’m willing to listen to suggestions/opinions

Crystal is honestly worthy of being a Kekkei Tota and is stated to be rare.

That's basically what I'm basing all of this on. Which only irks me all the more with mud release. Akatsuki Hidan practically treats it like a throwaway/joke anyway,

In the upcoming weeks you spent your time accordingly improving your weaker aspects. In addition to the usual training such as Kenjutsu and Physical conditioning, you aimed to improve your sensing and one handed hand sign skills. Ms. Fundamentals once again took charge in improving the basics. You wanted to be sure that you could wield the Kubikiribōchō more effectively.

It’s immense size and weight meant that you require at least one hand to wield it with your herculean strength. More importantly, you wanted to force your enemies to guard against it while using your free hand to preform one handed hand signs. An unorthodox yet highly effective way of fighting. Diligently you spent polishing these skills in your solo training/Kenjutsu practices with Hayato and Yugao.

As for Naruto, you continue to help him with chakra flow. Under your tutelage he manages to quickly get the hang of it. His shape and Nature transformation improved greatly as he was at the state to properly start learning some Wind Release techniques.

You left the wind technique learning to Kakashi the copycat ninja to supply just like with you and Earth Release and Sasuke with Fire Release.

When you were with Team Seven outside of minor missions, you took it upon yourself to start directing Sasuke and Naruto. You convince the two of them to work alongside you to polish the teamwork between the three of you.

It goes without saying that when you work together the three of you could achieve more than what any of you could do alone. Something that Sasuke especially was starting to realize. The Scorch Release was a true testament to that.

Scorch Release was going to be your final trump card as a team. Instinctively the three of you during that time managed to balance the chakra ratio alongside having compatible elements for it to work. Some can see it as mere dumb luck that the three of you managed to even pull it off. Others would theorize the outside effect of the Nature Chakra was the cause for the stability. Boosting its power to make it akin to the real deal rather than just a makeshift version.

Whatever the reason, you, Naruto and Sasuke come to an agreement that improving this trump card was vital for the future. As it was right now it was more of a liability than a practical trump card. First off it needed three people to preform, so you needed to rely on clones to keep the distraction long enough to finish. Secondly the Scorch Release: Blazing Hurricane was your strongest combination attack.

However, it was also a jutsu that heavily relies on close range to truly be at its strongest. Therefore, it was a double edge sword that required perfect timing and setup to use to avoid the enemy dodging and using it to strike at your weak spot.
>>
>>3541368

Lastly there was the incredible amount of strain and drain that it did to each of your reserves. Even though Naruto and Sasuke were providing the quantity, it was you who was handling the quality. An equal taxation on all three of your accounts.

To counteract this, the true purpose of training for your team was to create different ways to apply Scorch Release in addition to reducing the cost and strain. As well as improving the creation speed and overall synchronization between the three of you.

You estimate that the three of you can manage just about Three Scorch Release techniques safely before being spent. There was possibility for a Fourth Scorch Release technique but it would put all three of you at an immense risk. Still, this was great improvement over the first time. That and it was a miracle that this training and the teamwork drills were even sticking.

Both Naruto and Sasuke were naturally clashing elements. Even though the mission in the land of Snow further your bonds, the three of you were still twelve year olds. So it was still rather hard to keep your emotions in check and fight properly. Even so, the teamwork drills you set up were developing the groundwork for this hard road you three are taking.

It wasn’t going to be easy as what you were doing not even seasoned team ups could perform as perfectly as the three of you were striving for. Just goes to show just how truly talented the three of you are and how strong the bonds you and the rest of Team Seven carries.

During one of your break days, you decide to go and round up the girls. It was about time you spent some time away from the two knuckleheads. Sure your teamwork was getting better with each passing day. And yet you felt like you need a break every once in a while. There was only so much of Naruto and Sasuke you could realistically take without losing your sanity.

Starting with Tenten you quickly arrive at her place. Being as someone who respect cultural norms most of the time. You gently knock the door. Luckily you didn’t have to wait long as you see Tenten opening the door with a large bag in hand.

“Oh hey Sakura! What brings you to my home?”

“Thought I surprise you with some souvenirs that I got from the Land of Snow.”

“Aw you shouldn’t have~ As someone who likes to travel around the world, it’s always appreciative that you’re looking.

“It’s nothing really. I’m just paying you back for all of the tools you graciously give to me. They often really save my skin out there.”

“Glad you appreciate the finer details of my talents Sakura. Lee and Neji just can’t really appreciate the sheer beauty and efficiency that ninja tools bring. Too busy focusing on just training the body. Not to mention Master Guy is also in the same boat with his rigorous training plan for us. It’s a shame really. Oh! Before I forget to ask. Are those C missions really that troubling?” Tenten looks curiously at you.

“Try escort missions in general! They keep escalating from C to A without warning. It’s only dumb convenience that we manage to win by the skin of our teeth. Yet Naruto and Sasuke keep raring to go like it’s no big deal.”

“Aww, it sounds like they been working you to the bone with their eccentric You can tell me all about it on the way to the springs.” Tenten smiles as she starts to push you out after locking the door.

“Springs? You mean like right now?!?!”

“Well I was originally planning on going myself after a grueling day of training. But this is much more fun~ We can even invite Ino and Hinata on the way if we see them. Now come on~”

There was no point in arguing with Tenten. Once she set her eyes on something she kept pushing and pushing till she ultimately gets her way.

Just what you expect from the master of Bukijutsu. She never misses her target. As you were being directed out into Konoha’s hot springs, there was something very important that is escaping your memory.

Chakra was truly a versatile source of power. In your training to learn and improve sensing, you begin to dabble in how to apply your chakra. In your tinkering you found out you could boost your natural senses, enhance physical capabilities such as endurance, further augment your physical prowess, and even boost your mental prowess as well. Feats such as these were only possible thanks to your advance chakra control skills.

You were getting very skilled at manipulating chakra, if only you had the medical knowledge to truly tap in your body’s true potential. You start to use the chakra flow to alter your brain patterns and signals.

In mere moments you feel like you can process and gather information more clearly and efficiently. This was your answer to working around your less than optimized battle sense. Although it was gradually improving under Yugao’s teaching and real combat.

With your enhanced intelligence it was now possible for you to reach further into your subconscious. Your mind went to work deciphering precisely what was troubling you. It ran simulations, hypothesizes and all other kinds of mental evaluations for the truth.

You even went as far as to look into your past memories, something that you were really good at keeping. The memories were now running at a faster speed, letting you surf through precisely what you were looking for. That nagging feeling you were troubled with begin to fade away.

To you who were now looking at the memories as an outsider, the memories became clearer to you. One memory in particular sticks out to you like a sore thumb.

You look at that memory to see you watching Naruto spent several hours learning the Shadow Clone technique in the forest.

You were still in the form of a squirrel at this time trying to hide in order to observe and keep an eye out on Mizuki and Iruka.

In that moment you caught glimpse of countless secret techniques as Naruto flipped to the shadow clone technique and practiced.

At the time it was hard to keep it all together on the surface given your predicament at the time. All but one technique which you know cherished as the cornerstone of your being. However, right next beside the technique was another one created by the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju.

Most of the techniques on the scroll was attributed to Tobirama and Mito Uzumaki with the rare addition from Hashirama among secrets from other Hokages. Almost like a rite of passage or something.

On the surface you quickly looked like you had a realization. Tenten goes to look at you while you lied stationary in the street.

“Earth to Sakura! Hello! Are you in there? If this because I tease you about Naruto and Sasuke I’m sorry. Now wake up.”

I lean against teaching Tenten just now? Because 12-year-old Haruno Sakura becoming a font of knowledge about techniques which were deliberately sealed away strikes me as something that could become contentious within the village and I don't think we're ready for that.

Though I'd also welcome being up-front with Tenten about what just happened, and our hesitance about using that knowledge we have locked away.

Wait till shit hits the fan after the village invasion to start handing out forbidden techniques like candy. Less side eyes then

Pretty sure Kakashi and maybe the third know we sneaked shinra banshou, but they're not doing anything cos Sakura is pretty discrete about it. If she starts blabbing techniques to everyone without a good cause she might get in trouble, it get the wrong sort of attention.

“I’m sorry.” You quickly snap out of your daze.

“Sorry? What for?” Tenten leans over with mild confusion.

You quickly grabbed Tenten’s hand and moved quickly towards a private location in the hotsprings. Through Tenten’s guidance you made your way there in record speed. You kept your mouth shut through the experience as you think about the ramifications.

After that event with Mizuki, some part of you was paranoid over your accumulated knowledge of the scroll of sealing. Subconsciously you kept it buried in the depths of your mind.

For your own good, you even kept yourself from openly using Shinra Banshou. It was a last ditch effort and you were going to keep it to emergencies.

With that in mind you still felt in some way that important people like Hiruzen and Kakashi knows about your secret. The fact you haven’t been caught or punish only made your paranoia worsen.

Maybe that was your punishment for looking at the scroll and getting involved subtly with Mizuki. You couldn’t prove anything but you didn’t want to confront that possibility. You were too scared to.

The true weight of your knowledge came crashing down upon you. So after checking the close as clear you told Tenten about your dilemma.

About time considering that Tenten was looking at you with the same look she gives Lee and Might Guy when they’re being too “eccentric” for her taste.

By the time it was over did you find yourself slinking into the hot waters of the spring. Tenten held a rather serious look on her face as she pondered.

You were expecting to get chewed out for being so irresponsible and selfish. Yet Tenten only puts her hand on your back. Patting you softly while cheering you up. This was not the response you were expecting.

“I see, I see now. That does sound like a troubling predicament. You’re so lucky Naruto’s too much of a narrow minded idiot to recall such dangerous secrets. I can only imagine just how much stress you have thinking about these kinds of things. You really need to lay back and stop overthinking everything Sakura.”

“I know…...I’m sorry. Someday I’ll share my knowledge over you know what with you once I figure all of this out.”

“Don’t be. I’m really happy you’re thinking about me. That said, I don’t want you putting yourself endanger over it. Your knowledge of that jutsu maybe perfect for a space time ninjutsu and fuinjutsu user like myself. And you already know my secret. “

Tenten lifts her arm, momentarily revealing a blue chakra cuffs. The very same cuffs you remember holding back what can only be described as raging torrent.
>>
>>3541608

During training with Team Guy, you learned that each of them were some sort of close-combat specialist. Neji included, everyone has a big obstacle to overcome. With Lee he held no talent for Ninjutsu and Genjutsu, he could barely mold and shape chakra at all. So he pushes himself day after day to turn his Taijutsu to something truly remarkable.

For Neji, he was a branch member of the Hyuuga clan, despite his amazing talents there were countless secrets hidden from him. So he has to develop his skills and jutsu through educated guess and trial and error. All of which made Neji that much more impressive as a genius.

As for Tenten, you argue she may have it the hardest. Tenten was born with far more chakra than the average person. To be honest, you still weren’t sure the precise amount as in all of your training sessions you never saw her tire out. And you saw her summon large elemental dragons from her scrolls.

Out of all the Genin teams you know so far, you can deduce only Naruto could rival her chakra reserves. Naturally that’s not taking into account the Kyuubi inside of Naruto. For Tenten, this made her dream of being a legendary Kunoichi like Tsunade that much harder.

Something that you been slowly helping her out with your training sessions. If she has your near perfect chakra control, Tenten would honestly be a real monster. Although, the same could be said about you if you obtain her massive chakra reserves.

It’s funny how each of you need special seals to keep your inborn gifts in check. If comparing by build, you were by far the tougher and stronger one out of the duo. Tenten on the other hand was much faster and has way more stamina. You were smarter but she was wiser and more experienced. That was made painfully aware when you tried to outlast her in a game of tag.

You once compared her to a monkey with how acrobatic and nimble she was. Though you never told her that to her face. Even if her skills and photographic muscle memory and reflexes made it child’s play to mimic a person’s moves perfectly. It was almost absurd how much her reflexes act before her mind does. Monkey see monkey do really does describe your senior.

And to think Guy’s training was only improving her skills further. Combined with her innate talent for Space Time-Ninjutsu, Fuinjutsu and Bukijutsu, it was safe to say she was a powerhouse kunoichi in her own right. It’d be more accurate to call Tenten a genius in a team of elites. Then again, she’s always sparing with Neji so it’s no wonder why she’s as talented as she is.

"Just think of it as another secret between friends. Besides, my summoning jutsu skills aren't anything to laugh at. I can do instantaneous sealing and summoning back to back. So don't be underestimating my fighting style."

She placed her right hand against the bath handle, pinning you closely while keeping her smile. She was one to not underestimate her opponent nor liked to be underestimated.

"R-Right."

"Good. Anyway, we're suppose to be relaxing. So start sharing those stories you promise me. Or should we wait before Ino and Hinata show up?"

"How you managed to contact them so quickly?"

"While you were having a Sakura moment, I happened to sent message via summoning jutsu to them."

"Oh...that explains a lot."

We should also try to learn how to make weapons and equipment because Shinra Banshou would allow to in the middle of combat if we get good enough with it.
>>
>>3541634
Second on the votes, but instead of abusing Hiden skills we arguably shouldn't even know I'd rather focus on ways to make summoning and sealing more usable. Sasuke's summoning wristwraps we're a genuinely good idea from canon.

>>3541639
I don’t think they can handle large items though. If they could he would have shoved Fuma Shuriken into them.
>>
>>3541626
>Learn about the ins and out of Summoning and Sealing

>>3541639 Yeah I agree we should learn sealing over crafting right now. With Sakura's brains she'll soon be making her own seals once she has a solid foundation down, and also it lets her do stuff like Sasuke's wristwraps in the future. I don't see why we can't modify the seal array on the wraps to store larger objects - like our sword.

Plus we have the cursed seal issue coming up damn fast, so any bit of sealing knowledge will help.

Also I don’t think those are clan skills. The real bullshit we likely haven’t even seen yet.

Seals seem to suffer from size constrains, while we don’t know the limits most seals shown in the show wouldn’t fit on a wrist cuffs.

Becoming a crafter is arguably a good idea, but summoning and sealing should probably be focused on more as >>3541639 mentioned.
Otherwise though

>>3541683
One of the things that bothered me was how short the time frame was between the Kaguya bullshit and the establishment of the cycle of reincarnation and thereafter the number of times it was repeated. I think if Kishimoto wanted to make some real impact he would have expanded the time frame just to emphasize how fucking bad shit really got. Imagine thousands years of war and genocide, of Indra and Asura reincarnations making no progress toward their goals, of nations collapsing due to their own societal decay and corruption from the very peace they have.
>>
>>3541701

Trust me I am making the necessary changes needed to reasonably fix and foreshadowing needed to tackle things like Kaguya and reincarnation individuals. Or at least I'm going to try to do that among other adjustment/fixes.
>>
>>3541663
>>3541674

Had to re-watch the Sasuke vs Itachi fight, but when Sasuke summoned the snakes, he didn't use any scrolls to summon the Fuma Shuriken. It's implied that he did use the wrist bands but it took far longer than the instantaneous summon that the shurikens did.

What I am going with based with canon is that the smaller the object container, the harder it is to summon larger option at reasonable speeds as it drains a lot more chakra to pull off with the release technique and to contain with the sealing technique.
>>
>>3541786
So wristband Kubikiribōchō is a complete bust. I kind of figure it would be because if it wasn’t everyone would abuse that to hell and back.
>>
>>3541809

Tenten could probably pull it off no problem with her specialized talent + Massive Chakra Reserves in the instantaneous way the lot of you would probably want to abuse it.

A jack of all trades like Sakura with average chakra reserves isn't going to be pulling off such talent even with her near perfect chakra control.
>>
>>3541809
It'll still be useful to learn in the future, inventory management has always been OP as hell.
>>
>>3541823
We are a jack of all trades because Naruto is an idiot with near infinite stamina and Sasuke is angsty, power obsessed, “genius” that ignored the very important fundamental out of a misguided desire for power. We have to cover for them both and are more or less carrying the team.
>>3541846
Just stick to using scrolls for the meat cleaver. It’s cheaper and more efficient.
>>
Also is Sasuke going to get a sword now?
>>
>>3541847
No one is debating that, but learning summoning and sealing is arguably a useful tool nonetheless.
>>3541870
He's pretty talented with a sword, I'm surprised he doesn't have one of his own already.
>>
>>3541870
Get Tenten to set him up with a chakra blade. That way he can have a fire sword.

Also we really need to get our hands on the sword of the thunder god. Either for Sasuke or ourselves.
>>
>>3541895
>Sword of the Thunder God
>For Ourselves
Nah, we already got Kubikiribōchō, and as strong as it might be it's better off in the hands of a weapon master like Tenten.
>>
>>3541899
>Tenten
As funny as it is to say this, I think Tenten has enough boosts right now. If we're not getting it I'd say give it to Sasuke.
>>
>>3541876
I’m not arguing that summoning and sealing isn’t useful. At the higher levels it’s capable of conceptual bullshit and I’ve been thinking of ways to use it to accelerate our training massively. Also from what we’ve been told we could in theory use Flying Thunder God + Medical Ninjutsu to accelerate our thought processes to such speeds that the world would seem frozen.
>I'm surprised he doesn't have one of his own already.
Probably never crossed his mind because his mind.
>>3541895
>giving sword of the thunder god to Sasuke
That’s a bad idea. No only is that sword at it’s best when used with Flying Thunder God but you’d also be risking everyone’s lives at the Rescue Sasuke arc if it ever happens.
>>3541899
I still consider Kubikiribōchō a mediocre sword even with the buffs QM gave it and in many ways Sword of the Thunder God is objectively superior.
>>3541910
Honestly I’m down with using it ourself. We could use it to train lightning chakra.

“Hey Tenten.”

“Ya?”

“I been wondering this for a while but never got the chance to ask.”

“Shoot.”

“Can you explain to me fully the ins and out to Summoning, Sealing and Release?”

“Ohoooh. So the bookworm wants little ole me to help her. Jee, you’d make a girl blush.”

Tenten continues her teasing until she saw your hair come to life. You ere pouting but it was clear like Buddha you could only take so much before you’d reach your breaking point.

“Sorry, sorry. You just make it too easy. Anyway, you already know the basic understanding of Summoning, Sealing and Release correct?”

“Yes. Summoning Jutsu lets you transport a target to your current location. The Enclosing Jutsu allows you to seal many things within objects such as scrolls. And the Unsealing releases anything that is sealed within said object.”

“Very good~ Really showing your book smarts here. Summoning Jutsu is normally left to inanimate matter but living things can be summoned provided you have a contract set up and offer blood in the process. People can also be summoned this way but it’s far more complicated than just trying to summon an animal or an inanimate object. Lots of variables you have to work with and you must have cooperation or else it’ll be rejected. And the reverse can be done with those you set up a contract with as well.”

“That does sound tricky. “

“Okay so virtually anything can be summoned, sealed or release if you either meet the requirements or have enough chakra to strong-arm your way through. With summoning jutsu, the caster’s chakra is directly proportionate to the quantity and size of what is summoned. So you should never to summon anything higher than your current limit or else wasting chakra will be the least of your worries. You may end up sending the target you’re trying to summon to parts unknown. After all, the summoning jutsu is a bridge between two points. Both points have to be in a variable condition to send something from one point to another. “

“And that sounds even more extensive. If I’d tell Naruto this his brain would explode from the info dump.”

“Hey you said you wanted to know.

“By all means please continue. I was just teasing you back.”

“…I’m proud of you. “

The two of you ended up laughing a bit before getting back to business. It was cute that the two of you were having bit of a moment while waiting for Ino and Hinata to arrive. The hot springs were washing the worries and you were learning a lot from Tenten about Fuinjutsu.

“There also storage to consider. Scrolls for instance are the most use because they are the most reliable and easy to access. That said, when it comes to sealing or releasing you should aim for small stuff like shuriken or small chunks of rubble. Like with summoning jutsu, the sealing and releasing is directly tied to your chakra. So larger and/or more powerful targets will naturally take a tool on your chakra. Either precise chakra control or huge chakra reserve can generally make this almost a non-issue depending on the summoner.”

“Okay I think I understand the jist of it. But what if you want to use something more compact than a regular scroll. Can a piece of fabric for instance work?”

“Exactly! Depending on the skill of the summoner, it can be possible to summon through smaller mediums like a piece of paper. It doesn’t have to be large objects. Of course as I told you the size of your sealing device matters importantly when it comes to storage. Packing too much in too little can drain you far more rapidly than just using something like a large scroll for storage. Then you run the risk of imbalance and disrupt the process. Also you have to consider how many things you are summoning, sealing or releasing simultaneously. It’s way more mathematical than people give credit for.”

“I’d think I may have underestimate how much effort you put into this. Not to insult you but given your cheerful and easy going attitude I’d figure you would find such a thing a chore to memorize. You already get annoyed with Guy’s training regiments when he keeps pushing you to better yourself.”

“There’s a difference between surpassing yourself and doing the impossible. I might have more than enough stamina to withstand Gai and Lee’s antics. It doesn’t mean I should keep pushing beyond to such extremes. Three consecutive days without sleep doing heavy training is as far as a current cap as I want to measure myself.”

“…. Sometimes I forget how inhuman you are Tenten.”

“Hello pot, the name’s kettle. Let’s be friends.”

“…. Touché.”

“As I told you. This is my unique fighting style. I might not be as strong as you or as much as a madman as Lee with hard effort. Or as blessed as Neji. But when it comes to speed, I’m the fastest. There isn’t anyone who can beat me in a contest of speeds. Especially when it comes to Fuinjutsu. And that goes double for trap making.”

“Hey I make some really good traps! And they’re very creative in fact.”

“I won’t lie about that. Though you shouldn’t forget who taught you how to make proper booby trap in the first place. After that bout with Neji I knew you had potential but the way you were trying a land a hit on his absolute defense with rusted junk was embarrassing. Creative but still clumsy.”

"What you call clumsy, I call it luring my enemies into a false sense of security."

"...That's something Naruto would say."

"....You're right."

You quickly start to share the tools and tech you managed to grab during your land of Snow to Tenten. She could put better used to it as a weapon’s master, especially those ice bombs you found. You could even get her to probably get you a custom weapon made out of the chakra affecting technology you swindle. Of course such a process would naturally take quite a long thing to do.

We can always ask our sword tutors for more help on the Kubikiribōchō front. Tell her about the autograph and ask about animal summoning.
>>
>>3542011

Do you want to essentially murder people/risk your life to restore the sword back to prime after chipping a massive chunk of the sword? Also it's like super dense to break through. And there's the obvious morality/lack of fine blacksmithing that normally held one back in the golden days.

Still be much weaker than the original.
>>
>>3542011
>>3542019
I didnt mean for us to break the sword cause I dont think any piece that breaks off would retain its properties. (If it did, there would be multiple Kubikiribocho around)
I was thinking of using shinra banshou to make a kunai/katana size piece at most.
Narutopedia says that with shinra banshou "Should the need arise, they are able to generate more of the emulated substance from their bodies"

Again it was just a thought that crossed my mind. I dont see it giving tenten any major/relevant benefits.
>>
>>3542033
To pull that off we likely need to chop off body parts. Yes we can recover them with blood, but we are yet to be called Sakura the Demon.

I plan for the name change when we hit Chunnin Exams against Gaara.

We still haven't really killed anyone yet also I dont think we're ever gonna get called that unless shit starts getting really fucked like punished sakura tier other wise we're just keeping the sword as a trump card so to speak
>>
>>3542099
I'm 100% pro-learning to wield the Kubikiribōchō. the story potential of carrying such a monstrous weapon and the internal debate on how to use it is hype as fuck and if you disagree you can get the fuck outta my face.

But that's what makes it interesting: the apparent contradiction, the struggle, the conflict. Going full "already a demon" ruins that. I'd rather just throw it in a fucking lake.

i agree with this but much like naruto i feel there will be times where we say fuck it and go ham though
>>
>>3542236
The only real way to mitigate edgelord tendencies is to expand our arsenal so we have other options. You have to realize that Kubikiribōchō was designed to be wielded with a certain mindset and people will lean toward that mindset unless you have some other option to act as a counterbalance reserving Kubikiribōchō for moments of true desperation. That’s one of the reasons I’m all for using Sword of the Thunder God ourself (other reasons being that it is a sword of solid lightning would make learning how to absorb lightning with Shinra Banshou much easier and we have Flying Thunder God). Really Sakura the Sword Saint sounds like something worth aiming for.
>>
>>3542257
There is a reason I say until Gaara. Gaara will defiantly attempt to kill us and we have no counter to his sand bullshit besides brute strength.

I hope we consider killing him when he turns fully into his beast form. It's the only time we can defeat him and the One Tailed Raccoon.

Add in some edge from Orochimaru and this story can easily change. Now that we are relevant and have a shaky backstory who knows what he will do to us.

You decide to show Tenten the autograph and souvenirs you gotten from the crew in your time in the land of snow. Safe to say you managed to pull the rug over her eyes with. The Princess Fuun movies were tremendously popular throughout the world. The land of fire was no different.

Hence why you got autographs for all your girlfriends. You even had one for Shikamaru and Lee in case Naruto didn’t share his to any of the other male Konoha twelve students. You did lecture Naruto to be sure he shared. That didn't stop you from being extra cautious. Better safe than sorry.

“You got to meet Michy and the crew too? You already previously had me envious that you got to meet one of the seven swordsmen of the mist. Man you really seem to get the good missions as of late. And you just came out of the academy almost half a year ago. “

“Good is subjective Tenten. Both times my life was constantly on the line during those missions. I’d probably lost like a few years due to stress.”

“Now, now. I’m pretty sure you’re too stubborn to die anyway.”

“The fact you keep comparing me to Naruto is making me think he’s rubbing off on me too well….”

“Hehehehe…. well thanks for the gifts Sakura. Makes me embarrassed I don’t have anything current for you to pay you back.”

“What you talking about? You always been treating me well with your supplies. Even directing me to the best shops and the weapon smiths you know. I’m just repaying the favor for your kindness.”

“Sakura….” Tenten turns to you, moved by your purity.

“Anyway let’s forget about that. I want to know more about the animal summoning aspect of summoning release. Someone as talented as you already must have an animal contract right? You also talked about how animals can reverse summon their contractors?”

“…Truth is I do have such a contract…. but…”

“Is something wrong? I’m sorry if I’m asking a lot of questions. I’m just really invested in this.” You look at Tenten with growing concern.

“It’s fine… Animal Summons as I told you require a contract between the summoner and the beast. Most animals can be tamed or bred and be imprinted on to the summoner. Like Mr. Kakashi and his dogs or Master Guy and his personal turtle summon. Of course rarer then that are the sentient animals that know our language and can perform ninja arts. They’re the more professional yet harder establish a contract. It’s usually these creatures that can reverse summon people. To teleport them to the place of their choosing like how we do to them. It’s a mutual system between man and beast. You can’t truly use animal summoning jutsus without that mutual bond.”
>>
>>3542905

“Usually when you try to perform a summoning jutsu with no contract or connection it ends up not working. However, it’s like posting a job offering or your personal contact info. Someone who does a summon like that runs the risk of being reverse summoned by an animal clan or powerful creature that the user has an affinity towards. “

“…So what you’re saying is…”

“You catch on pretty quickly. I was one of those unfortunate idiots who used a summoning jutsu so recklessly.”

This was quite the shocking realization for you. Sure you knew about Lee’s past first hand through personal experience. Neji on the other hand normally kept to himself. Still, with the tidbits he was comfortable telling you and learning through Hinata you discovered Neji’s tragic past. And with your talk with Might Guy, you learned the misfortune that Guy suffered by the seven mist swordsman.

Despite this, you didn’t reveal to him you have one of the swords. Like with Kakashi and Shinra Banshou, you get the strange feeling he knows about your secret. And yet he still held you with open arms as his student. One day you’d going to have to confront him about that and set things straight. As for Tenten, you always assumed she had a more mundane background compared to her more eccentric teammates. So this caught you off guard.

“When I was just seven years old I got to meet Tsunade. The Slug Princess of Konoha. I heard many stories about her when I was young. But to actually see her in action and actually talk to her one of one. It was my most cherished memory. She was…. the first person who acknowledge me. Who said I had real potential even when I didn’t believe in myself. My easy going nature and laziness was just a cover so I could avoid facing the truth. To face destiny and reality.”

You get the feeling that destiny was a running theme between Team Guy. Each one of them were tackling their place in the world and the hurtles that have to overcome. Perhaps these conflicts and struggles that each of them goes with is why they’re so close to one another. And why Might Guy take great care in nurturing and developing the team’s true talents.

“Me, a complete nobody who couldn’t even control their immense chakra. Having it constantly leak out caused a lot problems and ultimately brought misfortune to those around me. But it was thanks to Tsunade who managed to seal and regulate my powers that I’m even here right now. Ever since that day she been my idol, my goal. So I did extensive research and digging in order to learn more about her. She became my inspiration, my very reason for becoming a kunoichi. So I trained relentlessly trying to emulate her. Of course I was a stupid kid back then. Thinking that a lofty dream such as that was possible when my own chakra kept me from properly learning medical ninjutsu."
>>
>>3542949

“The legendary Medical ninjutsu skills, her superhuman prowess, and her famed summoning technique. I tried to copy all of it after seeing it in action once. A mistake that almost ended up costing me my life. “

“Tenten…”

“Master Guy was the one who helped me tapped into my potential with Bukijutsu. But I have Lord Hiruzen to thank for teaching me everything I know when it comes to Fuinjutsu and everything related to it. I think deep down he taught me those things to keep me from being discouraged after my little accident seven years ago. My parents are both active ninjas but they’re retired from being in the frontlines after the Kyuubi attack to commit to better fine tuning crafting and building ninja tools and equipment. I love both of them and have always been in their care. But…”

“…. But what?” You managed to get Tenten to speak up this far. At this point you pushed Tenten to spill it all out so she can confront it.

“…. I always felt like there was something missing. Something that I don’t know that’s tied to where I came from and where I belong. Father said the Kyuubi attack ended up destroying our family’s shrine. The residence of the Kyuubi’s wicked chakra made it unsafe to continue living there so it’s currently sealed up thanks to the sacred seals. But someday...I want to go our original home and find anything that can help me put the pieces together. Until then, all I been doing is going on missions to travel the world. Collecting valuable items and artifacts has always been a hobby of mine. But I think deep down…the reason why I go on these trips is to try and find where I came from. Why was I born with such abnormal chakra? And…. it’s to properly find the place where I was summoned to all these years ago.”

“You told me earlier that you were summoned to a special location. One of the areas where the animals rule over correct? Just what exactly was that location? If you don’t want to tell me about it’s fine.”

“The place is called Suirendō (Water Screen Cave), or something like that. I was only seven years old when it happened. So my memory is a little fuzzy. And yet I can remember my experience as clear as day. See after I was summoned to the place I found myself completely lost in the caves. I kept wondering and wondering and yet I still ended up not making any progress. My chakra drawn countless unwanted attention even with the seal, I was chased by giant animals. With little food and water, it was a struggle to survive until I came close to passing out from over exhaustion and lack of nutrients.”

Well this probably explains Tenten puts so much into survival skills and trap making. It must have been quite the traumatizing experience for any seven-year-old to go. She never really let it get to her though. If anything, Tenten was more likely to be thankful for the experience. Her laid-back and easy-going nature made it easy for her to go with the flow.
>>
>>3542953

“The last thing I remember seeing before going unconscious was a giant ape with red fur. I don’t remember much of our conversation but for a while I was under his care. He was boastful and full of pride. And by all reason he had every right to not want to be with a snot nose brat like me. Yet he couldn’t leave me alone. He didn’t tell me why but I just knew this feeling. With his help I was able to see the paradise that was in the cave and meet up with the guardians who run it. It was a kingdom run by simians. I can only describe the place as being some kind of folktale.”

“Well considering all the stuff I see ninjas do. To someone with a normal background like me, this whole ninja lifestyle is like one big folktake. So I can only imagine how overwhelming this must have been for you. Anyway continue.”

“Through the sage monkeys I was able to meet with the Monkey King Emma. He had quite the earful telling me of my foolish act. Even told me that I reminded him of someone from long ago who also pulled a stunt like this. My only way home was to sign a contract with the monkeys if I wanted to be safely teleported without issue. So I agreed. After signing a contract with the monkeys, King Emma was able to reverse summon me back home to the leaf. I ended up at the Hokage’s mansion where Lord Hiruzen was staying. He ended up scolding me for my reckless. The same lecture I got from King Emma and the monkey sages. I was ashamed about that. I only became contracted with them in order to get home. So it didn’t feel like a proper mutual contract to me.”

You kept quiet after hearing those words. This was really alienating to see the spunky and cheerful Tenten be so melancholy and lifeless. At this rate you were going to learn medical ninjutsu just to qualify as a therapist to your friends. Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata, Neji, Lee, and now Tenten. Who else in your clubhouse has a hard life? Ino-Shika-Cho? Shino? Maybe even Kiba? The possibilities are endless.

“Look at me. I already have a contract with animals…. yet I can’t bring myself to summon them. I feel like I haven’t earned the right to yet. They did so much for me when they didn’t have to. They even ended up saving me from who knows ending up elsewhere. I was told I had exceptional talent and a high affinity…. but I’m not from the Sarutobi clan like Mr. Asuma or The Third Hokage. Heck Konohamaru has more of a birthright to them then I do. I have the Nyoikinkōbō the giant ape gave me to protect myself during our travels and yet I keep it sealed up out of this guilt. I must sound really pathetic.”

PS: Sorry for the exposition dump. Not only was this an attempt to fit with the motif of Team Guy while being able to stand on it's own. It's also trying to tie into the bigger narrative of the story. As well as set up more breadcrumbs for world traveling. Also I want to address the massive elephant in the room with the other jinchuurikis being a compete after thought after Gaara. How are you suppose to care what happens to them if the main cast never interacts with them till it's far too late.

Naruto has the child of prophecy tagline and Main character stigmata, so he's arguably disqualified from establishing future potential Sage Adventures. That and considering the war with Iwa and Konoha. It's rather touching to see a former Iwa shinobi actually lending a helping hand to a konoha nin. At least I think so.

Aside from B who is the most based person even if his rap lyrics can get a bit cringy at times. It'll be hard getting him to appear earlier given how close guard A is over his brother.

The Four perfect Jinchuurikis at the start of Part II are Yagura, Killer B, Roshi and Kazekage Gaara, In that order. That's not to say Fuu, Han, Yugaro and Utakata aren't impressive as well. Though Fuu would probably be the second least experience, that award goes to Naruto because of course Naruto. Though to be fair, Danzo is also hampering Naruto's potential in order to try and control him better.

Certainly this was a lot for you to swallow. Seeing the person whom you admire and respect from the bottom of your heart like this agitated you. Defeatism and Tenten should never be in the same sentence. She was human yes and it goes to show that even Tenten has her fears and insecurities. But you were her closest friend, and like your best friend Ino did for you so too would you pick Tenten back up.

“You’re right that is pathetic. The Tenten I know wouldn’t be hesitating over something as small as that. Or maybe you were lying about your dream and goals. Talk about being a hypocrite.”

“What was that?” Tenten rose to meet with you with a glare as you stand your ground.

“The Tenten I know is far more motivated to let anything stop her. No matter what!” You rose up to meet with Tenten head on. You weren’t backing down as the two were practically invading each other’s personal space.

“Even when she says it’s a chore or a bother to train as hard as the others. She goes up and beyond to surpass herself every day. She doesn’t let something like her massive chakra reserves or poor affinity for things like medical ninjutsu stop her. You’re a proud member of Team guy, a kunoichi that Tsunade acknowledges, and…you’re the rightful Summoner of the Monkey contract!”

“No I’m not! I’m just a stupid kid who gotten to ambitious in trying to reach a foolish dream. I’m just a burden to them!” Tenten screamed, balling her fist tightly. You rectify this by grabbing her hand and slowly undoing the fist as you speak.

“If they didn't want you in the contract they could've just summoned Lord Hiruzen to take you home. King Enma is his personal summon and a loyal member of Konoha. There’s absolutely no way Lord Hiruzen would turn down his request. Especially if it’s to rescue one of his valued children.”

“How can you be sur-“

“Face it! They wanted you before anyone else could take you. It’s both an act of kindness and acknowledgement towards your potential. So don’t ever think of yourself as any lesser than the kunoichi that I Sakura Haruno respect. Don’t you want to reunite with the red Ape that saved you? Don’t you want to show your skill as thank you for protecting you! Don’t you want to prove the monkey sages, the Red Ape AND Enma that they were right to accept you?”

“….” Tenten adverts her gaze from you, focusing on the water as she didn’t have an argument to counteract your truth.
>>
>>3543445

>>3543445

“You’re strong Tenten. As someone once told me, do you really have to take the same path as those you admire to reach the same goals? Medical Ninjutsu is a valuable skill that I know that you will get. And your skills in Fuinjutsu and Bukijutsu are second to none. You have a fine understanding of techniques, skills and weapons just by sheer muscle memory and keen observation. You’re far more talented than you give yourself credit. And you can do so much more if you’re willing to accept the Monkey Summons into your arsenal. I won’t accept you throwing your full potential to reach your dreams due to foolish reasons.”

“…When did you start to become wise. I can’t beat that and your intelligence.”

“I only became wise thanks to my childhood friend. He’s an aloof goof but he can be pretty insightful in his own way. I’m truly lucky to have a friend like him.”

Without further hesitation you went to hug Tenten. You gave her the biggest hug you can muster as Tenten starts to break down into tears and cry. For all the kindness and support others constantly gave you. You wanted to give back the same amount if not more. After all, you were someone who truly cherishes the bonds you forge in this ninja world.

“We’ll go talk to Lord Hiruzen together. I still strongly believe he’ll be more than okay if you use those summons. Heck I’ll be there to support your case and help get him to see what truly a waste it’ll be if you don’t nurture such talents. Besides, I need to go and apologize to him about Shinra Banshou alongside the other secrets from my glimpse at the Scroll of Seals.”

“Yeah!” Tenten smiled, slowly wiping the tears that continues to keep coming.

The two of you manage to finish your moment just in time to greet Ino and Hinata. With all four girls here, you start to share your experiences in the Land of Snow. Going as far as to mention just how cursed escort missions truly are.

Although this made everyone laugh, yourself included, you were still right. That aside, you went on to talk about mundane stuff. It seems that this helped Tenten quickly bounce back to her old self. This was for the best.

Going to be replying soon but it should be no secret that I been been using compelling theorizes and hypothesis in addition to adding my own spin in my research to make for a more structured/ coherent quest. And that's not changing anytime soon.

I just wanted to bring up some interesting fact that helps with my long time goal of world building/pot hole fixing. As well as hint at future stuff later down the line. Since the key goal I notice from a lot of people invested in this is to travel the five great nations and beyond. I want to respect that desire while keeping it within the realm of reasonably.

There's also bit of a conflict I'm having with wood release in general. Rather if i want to keep it as a kekki genkai in the traditional advance elements sense, or relate to it as some sort of unique oddity/mutation related to the god tree like how part one it was just unique ninjutsu.

I feel like doing the latter better explains why only Hashirama has it despite the potential other Ashura clones have it and heck why in the anime why Ashura was able to tap into it and with Obito and Madara having the direct Statue could bio-engineer the same power
https://narutoversity.wordpress.com/2015/08/09/wood-release/

Would also make me respect Mud Release enough to fill the spot.

But I want your opinion on it.
>>
>>3543802
That would mean that that girl with Wood release got implanted with his cells or is some sort of freak of nature mutation.
Also I have an idea for how chakra was molded before handsigns were a thing. Since Hagoromo wanted peace he would have tried to make molding chakra in combat hard so I thought why wouldn’t older styles of ninja magic use the entire body to mold chakra? It does make ninja magic impractical in combat.

Not going to stop you from whatever plans you decide later down the line. But this debate did make me remember one more thing of consideration for the blade since it's very concept of siphoning to repair itself and it's user would've ultimately led to this given it's excessive quantities of iron. https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Magnet_Ninja_Art

>>3543821

Part of the conundrum I'm dealing with altering wood release or not.
>>
>>3543855
>Though similar to Magnet Release, Jiga actually gained this ability through ingesting iron when he was younger and as such is not a kekkei genkai but an unorthodox bodily adaptation.
>unorthodox bodily adaption
Naruto honestly needs more ninja arts like this.
>>3543855
>Part of the conundrum I'm dealing with altering wood release or not.
I’m personally fine either way. It would however have implications that other such exceptions could exist.
>>
>>3543915

Well the novels sort of made it canon with Steel manipulation in Sasuke Shinden,

I think I rather have exceptions rather than what the story did personally. Uniquely tying it to a single person to the point everyone tries to use his cells to recreate it like a miracle drug. Only for Boruto to shit all over that. I don't mind his body being used as a blueprint to figure out the mutation/secret like actual ninjas. Something Haku brought into consideration upon his first appearance but only Orochimaru and Kabuto really dive into. Well them and Madara I guess.

Gives more fuel why Makeshift Advance Elements came into existence I suppose. And teaching things like Kekkai Totas.
>>
>>3543974
I say go for it and also move forward with the quest.
I proabably not the only one waiting for a story update.
>>
>>3543974
Also Boruto isn’t happening in this quest so why does it matter?
>>
>>3543982
Boruto isn't happening since we're gonna butterfly effect the shit out of the setting. We probably won't be seeing the exact same pairings after all.

Okay satan calm down

“Fuwaah! Now this is the life. After a hard day of mission and clan duties, it’s nice to just wind down and relax.”

“You almost sound like an old man Ino.”

“You don’t get to tease me when you’re spouting stuff like that every other time Tenten.”

“Sorry sorry Ms. Future Clan head.”

“If I only get stuck with running the flower shop then that’s the true blessing in my life.”

You ended up laughing at the banter from Ino and Tenten. Things were starting to liven up as each of you start talking about mundane things in addition to comparing missions. Seem like the other teams had more balanced missions and much better teamwork than your team.

It made you feel all the more jealous considering that you were strong arming Team Seven. So being an a more balance and considerate team like Team 8 or Team 10 would’ve been a dream come true. Over time the conversation quickly swings to the topic that all teen girls talk about the most…. boys.

“So Hinata. Did you make any progress with Naurto yet?” You asked, starting the pitch.

“N-Not really. I’d still been too nervous to really tell him. Between missions and training, I haven’t really found the time.” Hinata looks away embarrassingly.

“Hmmmm~ I see then. If you don’t hurry up Hinata then someone else will ultimately grab the number one knucklehead ninja from you.”

“Reaping what you sow there Sakura.” Tenten appears behind you, taking note to your sly smugness.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Ino stares closely to Tenten.

“Oh nothing. I just think based on your advice then Ino should also take it to heart. Otherwise, you’re going to steal Sasuke from her.”Tenten waggles her finger with her own sly smile.

Just like that both you and Ino quickly look at Tenten with shock and embarrassment before turning to one another. You had a worried look on your face while Ino was fuming. Not at you of course but mainly remembering that she could have a much better chance

“I would never do something like that! Besides, I mention countless times if I could switch teams…. I would at every chance….’” You almost cried tears of blood over the bad luck and trauma you experienced.

“Yeah Sakura isn’t like that. I trust in my bestie. Besides, she’s the only one here who isn’t trying to get into boys.”

“…Ino the way you say that makes it sound like you think I’m fencing for the other side….”

“Well you’re not showing a convincing argument on both accounts.” Tenten chips in.

Things escalated further the more you talk about boys. You couldn’t answer Tenten and Ino’s question about who you like most. Sure there were some options but given how the closest thing to romance is fangirling over actors, you knew next to nothing about actual love. Let alone strongly swinging to a current boy in your generation.
>>
>>3544260

“Putting that aside, I’m rather jealous over Hinata over there.”

“Huh?”

“Well you’re the most developed out of all of us. Heck I’m a year older than all of you and yet Hinata has me beat. Maybe it’s a secret Hyuuga clan blessing.”

“T-That’s not it at all!”

“I hate to admit it but Tenten is right. What exactly is your diet? What kind of beauty trick do you know?”

“Yeah come on tell us everything that lead to you being so…so…”

“Well endowed?”

“Exactly!”

Ino and Tenten took the time to swarm Hinata with questions after question. Hinata found herself overwhelmed and all the more embarrassed as she dives into the water. You on the other hand was also interested but was far more reserved compared to Ino and Tenten. That and you lectured yourself deeply for getting jealous over your friend Hinata like that. So you sink back down deep in the water while listening to the conversation.

“Even with Hinata aside, I’m pretty sure I’m at the top of the food chain here.”

“Funny you say that. Cause I’m pretty sure you’re like third at best.”

“What are you implying? I thought you admitted that Hinata was the biggest here. So the second spot is clearly mine.”

“I said only Hinata has me beat. I’m pretty sure I’m still bigger than you Ino.”

“Want to prove that!”

“Well if you insist~”

“G-Guys we shouldn’t be fighting. Private place or not we’re being rude.”

Sorry for the long wait. I was watching some omake and filler so I can try to be more consistent with this as much as possible. Boruto actually does introduce/touch up on some good things. It's just unfortunately plagued with too many stupid things even for naruto standards that makes it bad.

“Hinata is right. We shouldn’t be fighting like this. Besides, does it really matter who’s biggest really?”

“Stay out of this flat chest!” Both said in unison.

Now that was a harsh blow to your ego. Sure you were no Hinata, but you lead yourself to believe that you were well balanced. At worst you were more developed in the lower body than the top given your daily training. Not that you didn’t have your own charms or really can be considered flat. You were just more modest and better developed elsewhere. Also you’re still growing so it’s not a race! At least that’s what you told yourself as Inner Sakura was having a field day at the insult.

Perhaps it would’ve been wiser to not step into a landmine with a painted on target right in front of you. Rather than resort to petty outbursts like Ino and Tenten were currently doing, you decide to be more tactful. Slowly you made your way to your bag while Hinata continues her futile attempt at trying to defuse the situation.

“Is that so? Guess that I should keep these one of a kind gifts I got from the Princess Fuun cast and crew to myself then.”

All three went silent upon you showing the goods. Imminently all manner of growing tension was suddenly deflated to the point of being non-existent. It really did paid off to be so considerate and thoughtful to your friends. Tenten and Ino dropped the subject but not before apologizing to you to the point of bowing. You kept a straight face but internally you were enjoying being at the top. Hinata could only giggle a bit before all of you continue to resume small talk.

To be honest, considering how long you been in the springs it almost felt like an eternity. Naturally you did other things like wash each other’s backs or take a dip in the sauna room for instance. Yet you can safely say you and the girls essentially went for the full spa treatment. Not that you really cared. It almost felt like forever since you did anything with your girlfriends. You were too busy with training and missions to have a social life. In a way this was truly a blessing for you.


As the four of you quickly finished changing into some fresh clothing, you prepare to leave the hot springs and finish the night with some karaoke. With the four of you chipping in it was rather cheap to experience the full package with lots of refreshments and cuisines.

“Sakura…there’s one thing I wanted to as you.” Ino looks over.

“Yeah sure what is it?” You turn to Ino.

“You been secretly moving your hand erratically while we been hanging out all this time. …What exactly are you doing?”

“Oh? You mean this? Well to tell you the truth. I been practicing one handed Hand signs this entire time.” You blush a bit while still preforming the act. It was becoming second nature to you at this point.

“O-One handed Hand Signs.” They all said in unison.
>>
>>3546577

“I told you during my storytelling that I fought a shinobi who can perform such a feat. So I been working my butt off trying to pull off the same level of skill. Currently I can perform it at a seventy percent chance of success. But I’m looking to make it a hundred percent.”

“Sakura that’s amazing. Already you’re on your way to master something that’s a severe rarity in the ninja world. I always knew your chakra control was impressive but this is a whole another level. “Hinata cheered you on like the good friend she was.

“There’s got to be a word to describe how diligent you are when it comes to training. You can almost put Lee to shame.”Tenten sweatdrops.

“Workaholic is a term I’d describe it. Seriously if you look up the dictionary fir that word. You’d see Sakura’s face planted on it.” Ino interjects while trying to stop you from making more handsigns.

You reel over this since you couldn’t help yourself. Micromanagement was your bread and butter. It wasn’t like you were actually going to activate any real jutsus. The ninja life may be slowly chipping away your sense of normality, but you weren’t so far gone that you would willingly invoke summoning an unfortunate accident caused by Ninjutsu. That’s something you’d expect from your more knuckleheaded friends rather than yourself. Those thoughts quickly faded away as you direct the gang to the karoke bar. This was your day off from Team 7. So you were going to enjoy it to the fullest.

The next day you found yourself lying deep against your bed. You honestly couldn’t remember how long you been partying with the girls. In fact, the last time you remember was shaving to sneak back inside through your window to avoid alerting your parents. Luck for you that you didn’t have any missions or practice planned. Even if you could heal and recover from over exhaustion, it didn’t do you any good to try and abuse it. Resting in between hard training made sure your body could accumulate all of your experiences and maximize its growth without harming itself in the process.

You pull yourself out of your half-drooling slumber to do the usual stuff. What would normally take you an hour or two to complete, you finish in less than half the time. Due to your mastery over your hair techniques, it practically became second nature to you to use them for your mundane life. Speaking of mundanely, this was your planned day with Shikamaru.

Out of your schedule you make sure to plan time to play Shogi with Shikamaru. Rarely did you ever beat the genius as he was the only one in the academy that was outright smarter than you. Originally it rather frustrated the smaller Sakura being inferior to someone so lazy and unmotivated. However, you were also grateful to know someone who has to struggle with such intelligence.
>>
>>3546578

Not to say your friends, especially Ino were stupid. Well arguably there’s Naruto, but that was more ignorance and simple-mindedness that plagued the blockhead. With Shikamaru you shared a kinship with him. Aside from Ino, you have the best chance to actually motivate the super genius to actually put effort into things. One of those things just happened to be Shogi. Soon you arrived at Shikamaru’s manner as you remember to be polite before being let in.

You decide before seeing Shikamaru that you would help with cooking. Spending time with your mom in the kitchen really improved your cooking skills. And yet it wasn’t just from family who taught you everything you know about cooking. You managed to pick up cooking tips and skills in your life from countless people. Including the late Mikoto Uchiha who you managed to replicate her home cooking perfectly.

Quickly you make your way to the kitchen as you announce yourself to Yoshino Nara. Graciously she accepts your offer and you familiarize yourself with the tools. Yoshino quickly tell you what you’d be helping her cook. In addition to breakfast, it seems that you were making a big bento lunch for Team Ten. It was simple enough for you to do as with your help the of you manage to get it done in record time.

“Thanks again for your help Sakura. You’re a real lifesaver.”

“No problem Ms. Yoshino. Happy to help. That said, is there any reason why you’re making a special bento.”

“Shikamaru is heading off to the Fire Temple later with Mr. Asuma and the rest of Team 10.”

“Fire Temple? Why is he heading out there?”

“Mr. Asuma believes that traveling to the temple, it’ll help improve Shikamaru’s team greatly. Shikamaru has always been a lazy boy. At the same time nobody can deny how gifted my son is. He just needs to improve his focus and enhance his control of his spiritual side. Ino much like yourself is incredibly talented. Seeing her lead her team and direct her tactics to maximizing Shikamaru and Choji’s strengths shows she has the right stuff to be a truly beneficial kunoichi. If she can improve her spirit and mental fortitude, then her clan skills will only improve further.”

“Okay I get Ino and Shikamaru, but what about Choji? Isn’t he more physical and close combat orientated compared to the mid to long range duo of Ino and Shikamaru?”

“Yes you’re right. However, Mr. Asuma believes that Choji is truly a kind and gentle boy. Being around the monks at the temple will let Choji develop a way to fight without trampling on his ideals. Mr. Asuma also hopes that by learning from the monks Choji can understand when to be kind and when to fight. In the ninja world kindness can both be a strength and a weakness. If you can’t deceiver when to apply true kindness…. then you’re only a burden. There’s a fine line between being kind and being a coward. “

“Ms. Yoshino….”

“I gotten a little too deep in that. Please forgive me.”

“It’s alright. I think I get what you’re trying to say. I just hope it goes alright for them.”

“You could always ask to come along? Isn’t that why you’re hear? To spend time with Shikamaru and co?”

You lot asked for world building and I'm going to give you as many reasonable chances as I can give to do it.

Now that I think of it a two part mission with both the Bikōchū and the Mizuki tracking mission could reasonably be done.
>>
>>3547827
I'm more inclined to pick bikochu wanna see hinata get that power up before chunin
>>
>>3547845
Except the mission would have no point without anyone to track and we have no guarantee that Hinata will get the power up that mission. Also Mizuki tracking > Bikōchū storywise.
>>
>>3547827

With waterfall and the cross roads coming i'm already pushing the waiting period. It's doing some good establishing the teams and bonds of team seven in these down times, but I imagine there's only so much character build up one can do before people want the main story to continue.
>>
>>3547990
Okay then but I do think Mizuki tracking should happen in some form before the Chunin exams even if it’s a bunch of Chunin or Jounin capturing him and us getting a short post about that.
>>
>>3548163

I'm considering adding it in since one of my goals is building up team 7's relationship. Currently I'm thinking with all the additions and restructuring, it'll be 1-2 years in story before "That" event happens. I think that's a good enough time frame for things to realistically happen the way they do while establishing what Kishimoto wanted to do with their bonds.

Side note. I'm currently doing research on fixing the Tenseigan and handling Hamura's legacy as well as importing things like the Kaguya clan better. I think Jugo's clan and Kimimaru's being related would help but I'm also considering their origins to come from Hamura's side since Kaguya only had two children before going crazy. Otherwise we would've seen more Hamura and Hagoromo. Still thinking on it.
>>
>>3548181
Why not have an entire celestial bureaucracy complete with an asshole billion year old emperor that could give the Jade Emperor a run for his money. The Otsutsuki clan could have been one of the several clans that got sick of the Emperor’s shit and decided to leave (kind of like how Japan separated from China) but the Emperor refused to allow this because it would make him seem weak (because face) so a war started. The Otsutsuki and their allies were in a poor position but realized that if they monopolized key resources (like the chakra fruit) they could come out on top, so they sent out some of their clan members to gathered resources while the rest focused on consolidating power and holding ground against the empire. Kaguya eventually defects. Otsutsuk clan sends people to check up on her. Kaguya stomps their shit in, they become to weak to return and become ancestors for various Kekkei Genkai. Otsutsuki clan figures the territory was lost when nobody returns and gives up on it.
Sound good?
>>
>>3548264

Kaguya as in Kimimaro's clan. Btw can I say that having his last name be Kaguya is a really stupid thing when there's a central villain named Kaguya. But your description does give me an idea to handle the otsutsuki without them being lol aliens from another world
>>
>>3547865
Maybe true but I just like naruto x hinata growth better then the movie I also felt like she was weak like power wise
>>
>>3548285
I too find it kind of stupid and confusing the Kaguya clan have the same name as the last villain of Naruto. The space ninja bullshit is also pretty as well as the mindlessly amoral tendencies of the Otsutsuki clan members. I was (mostly) just posting how I would have handled the Otsutsuki.
>>
>>3548337
A major reason for that growth Hinata had in that episode was because Neji beat the shit out of her in the Chunin exam. Even Kishimoto himself thought she was underdeveloped as a character and couldn’t understand why people liked her.
>>
>>3548424
I get that but I still wish she put up more of a fight because she fuckin falters off later I feel like it she's naruto's wife there should be some sort of equal ground in terms of power scaling
>>
>>3548498
>she's naruto's wife
That’s a flawed way of thinking. You are literally trying to force her character to be something you want to be rather than let it play out naturally. Not to mention the NaruHina ship was completely unnatural and required Kishimoto to kill off Neji to make it happen.
>>
>>3548550
Not.force necessarily just kinda wish was more fleshed out I just like the character and felt was done a disservice but then again so sas most of naruto's characters in part 2 except for itachi

All the Konoha 13 will be getting their time to shine and fleshed out. Sakura is the main goal of the quest but even if nobody does anything, the waves will ripple.

You were now tidying up from finishing the bento lunch boxes. The dedication to continue being helpful was putting a smile on Yoshino’s face. Speaking of timing you soon saw Shikamaru walking into a kitchen scratching his stomach with a yawn.

“So you’re here again? Man, you must either really like Shogi or got too much time on your hands.” Shikamaru yawns again.

“Is it wrong for me to spend time with a longtime friend?” You pouted at his words.

“Not really. Just was expecting you to be training or studying.”

“I made enough progress to be able to spend time like this. I may be an overachiever but even I want to socialize every now and then.” You firmly spell it out that you like hanging out with Shikamaru.

Shikamaru ends up scratching his head in mild embarrassment. You were strong willed like Ino and his mother but unlike them you knew how to better apply your assertiveness. If Shikamaru was willing to be polite even when he didn’t need to, then you were going to be understanding with persuasion. In your longtime friendship, you learned that it was better to come off non-aggressive and more altruistic and charitable.

It was funny how out all of the Konoha girls, you’re the only one who knows how to best handle each of the boys. For better or worse it ends up making you the big sister of the group. Or Team Mom as Naruto would often tease you over with. Those days really tests your patience. Actually, maybe going to the Fire Temple with the others would better help with tolerating Naruto and Sasuke’s antics.

“Sorry to burst your bubble. But I won’t be able to play Shogi as long as we normally do. I have to prepare for my trip to the Fire Temple. What a drag.”

“Its fine, your mom already told me about that.”

“Really now? So that explains why there was so much noise in the kitchen.”

“I even made bentos for you and your team.”

“Sakura, at the rate you’re going you’re going to end up making someone very happy as a housewife instead of a Kunoichi.”

Embarrassed by Shikamaru’s words, you huffed out of the kitchen. You had the biggest of puffed pouts as you almost stomp your way to the garden. Yoshino looks to Shikamaru with a mother’s stare. Shikamaru quickly let out a sign knowing exactly what he did wrong. Slowly he follows after you before getting another lecture from his mom.

Vaguely you remember where the last time the Shogi board was set up. Arriving at your destination you found yourself in shock. Sitting next to the Shogi board was Asuma Sarutobi who currently was having bit of a smoke break. Thankfully, he knew to be respectful and not give any chance of second hand smoking.

“Ah! Hello Sakura. Fancy meeting you here.”

“Hello Mr. Asuma. I wasn’t expecting you to be here so soon.”

“Well just like you I also happen to play Shogi with Shikamaru.”

“How many times you manage to win?”
>>
>>3548794

“Close to Zero.”

“….Me too…”

Before you knew it the two of you started laughing as you found something in common. It was refreshing to have someone else who know how you feel with situations like this. As you made your way to the Shogi board, you and Shikamaru took your designated spots.

Cultivating all of the experiences real battle has brought you has really improved your game. For the first time in a really long time you manage to making Shikamaru really work for the win. Simultaneously, you asked Asuma if it was okay for you to come along with Team Ten to the Fire Temple.

“I don’t see any problems with that. Kurenai has been telling me in the past that she’s been teaching you Genjutsu. So improving your spiritual side will naturally enhance those floral Genjutsu. And Ino can learn from your example.”

What’s with the Jounins holding you like the perfect motivation tool for several of their students? Whatever, you were happy enough to be a part of the trip. Yoshino hears this and before you even asks her she ends up making a special bento for you. Touched by this you naturally thank Yoshino before heading off with Shikamaru and Asuma. They were going to meet up with Choji and Ino before you would make your way to the Fire Temple.

With Team 10 completed you soon find yourselves currently making the way to the Fire Temple. It was rather a long hike up the temple’s forest region. The hardest challenge being the long stairway that to some seem like it goes forever. This was quite the issue for Team Ten as they were struggling to make their way to the temple.

The experiences you accumulated from Team Gai made this hike a complete cakewalk to you. Thus, you weren’t affected like the others. Out of the kindness of your heart and potential training tool, you decided to carry Shikamaru and company without issue. Once again it becomes apparent just how much of a behemoth you truly are.


“Say Mr. Asuma. How are the Third Hokage and Konohamaru currently doing?”

“Konohamaru has been taking his studies more seriously since the day he declared Naruto as his rival. I think him meeting someone he can talk to and polish his skills on really helped his confidence. As well as slowly get him to realize that genetics and heritage doesn’t always guarantee respect from everyone. If he wants true acknowledgement and to escape his grandfather’s shadow then he just need to make his own legends. As for the Third Hokage, he’s planning for his next small break after setting up some important events in the upcoming months. Something that you’ll need to get ready for.”

“That event being?” All the Genin said in unison.

“It’s a secret for now. But if you paid attention in class then it shouldn’t be hard to figure out.” Asuma smiles to the group.

“How bothersome. I got enough on my plate to be considering what’s going to happen.” Shikamaru sighs.

“I hope it’s a festival. Now that’ll be something to get excited for.” Choji enthusiastically cheers.

“Pretty sure it wouldn’t be something as simple as that.” Ino interjects while Shikamaru rebounds the depressed Choji back to a happier mood. You could only laugh a bit before turning back to Asuma.

“Say Mr. Asuma. If you don’t mind me asking….what exactly is your connection to the Fire Temple? I thought it was a secluded place that only the Ninsou were allowed.”

“You’re not exactly wrong about that. It’s a secluded location that is heavily guarded by a powerful ninjutsu barrier. To the Ninsou or ninja monks, it is one of the notorious safe havens for them to practice in peace. Although, they do open their doors to those looking to learn and better themselves with their teachings. I know this from personal experience.”

“You used to be a Ninsou?” Ino asked.

“To be more precise I was trained by one. He’s the current head of the Fire Temple and a long time close friend of mine. His name is Chiriku. He and I used to be members of The Twelve Guardian Shinobi.”

“I think I heard about that. It used to be composed of twelve skilled ninja drawn from around the Land of Fire. Their only task was to protect the country's Daimyō, even at the cost of their own lives. Yet they mysteriously disbanded and were forgotten in the history books.” Once again you showed off your book smarts as you take great pride in your egghead identity.

“Correct. However, that was just a cover to keep the real secret from coming out to the public. There was a civil war between the Twelve Guardian Shinobi. With the recent destruction of the Kyuubi attack and Konoha growing more powerful after the Third Great Ninja War, things escalated immensely within our ranks. These events convince of the members that there should be only one ruler, the Fire Daimyo. The Hokage was merely an obstacle that only proved their incompetence after the Kyuubi attack. Thus, a coup d’etat was staged against the Hokage, fracturing the Guardians on to two sides. Chiriku and I were on the side that defended the Hokage. It was a battle that last for quite a long time, until a new Daimyo was selected after the last battle. The son of the previous Daimyo rejected the actions of his father, believing that it was better to be united rather than trying to make an alternative to Konoha’s forces. He stood with the Hokage and branded the conspirators as traitors after their defeat. Our side was victory, but the cost was far too great for both us and our country. Most of the Guardians were said to have been killed. But only a handful of bodies were found. Chiriku, Tou and I were the remaining members. And after the event, we splinted from our duties. Chiriku went back to the temple and became its leader. I went back to Konoha to serve my village and became an official jounin. Touu the Lightning Empress chose to wander through the lands. I haven’t seen her in five years. “

Everyone was in complete silence over the sudden information. One would naturally expect Asuma Sarutobi to be an important figure given that he was the son of the Third Hokage. Like with Kakashi, you were taken off complete guard over just how famous Asuma really was. Then there’s Kurenai who was a big shot herself. Some call her the mistress of Genjutsu, a true prodigy like no other. Finally there was Might Guy and just being around him made you think he was anything but normal. Kakashi’s generation must truly have been something special.

“Here we are. The Fire Temple. Watch your step.”

You gently let the rest of Team Ten down before walking inside the massive Temple. Impressed by the Chinese dojo setting you begin to take complete look around your surroundings. While at the same time you made sure to be courteous and not stare too much at the monks currently training. Team Guy would feel right at home with the strenuous training you saw the bald monks executing.

Once you made your way inside the inner temple grounds you find yourself looking at countless people currently meditating in harmony. At the far end of the giant room you saw a rather mature looking monk sitting in position. There was a far more regel yet tranquil presence around him.

“Welcome fellow travelers. I am Chiriku and I am happy to have you take part in our daily activities. Asuma told me ahead of time of your visit and what you been struggling with. Our practices teaches the way of Ninshu. A means to connect ourselves not just with our very being but to all those around us. Asuma believes that by understanding this and taking part in our daily rituals you may start to develop your spiritual side. As well as improve your mental fortitude in order become better ninjas for the duty of our home. We may have different beliefs but our core objective is the same. So please, make yourself comfortable and remember to follow the rules set outside in the entrance. “

So Sakura is a physical monster and Tenten is a chakra monster,huh...
Guys,I just had an idea so stupid there is no way it could possibly fail

>Sakura and Tenten train in Ying Yan release to help with the next step
>Use a combination of Shinra Bansho/Medicinal jutsu/Power of Friendship to bullshit our way into creating the fusion dance jutsu
>Maybe also use nature chakra to keep it up
>Train to mantain the fusion for a few hours or a day
>Pull off a Gogeta vs Omega Shenron against the final boss before proceeding to obliterate it
>Beat the crap out of Naruto if,read when, he gives the fusion a stupid name

Interesting. In canon only Asuma and Chiriku survived.

>>3549374

You'll get a chance to meet her in the future.

Can't have all your potential teacher/older figures be majority males. Same goes for villains.

PS: Finding a good look for Tou and Karin's team is a whole new level of asinine suffering.Also I hate how a lot of oc pics outside of the standard tyhard/hardcore shipping bullshit being too filtered and faded out. Like nobody knows how to not shit on the quality.

Because I’m bored I went looking for how Naruto should be rewritten. I had interesting results...
https://needtobecomestronger.wordpress.com/

>>3550537

Going to be replying shortly. But out of spare time I decided to check out your link. It got some decent ideas for consideration.

The joys of time skipping childhood events is the fact that important events or key moments can be inserted without disrupting the timeline and can resurface when the story needs it.

I really like this explanation for Body Flicker and Substitution Jutsu.

“Okay, look at it this way: If the body-flicker technique is teleportation, why can’t you use it to teleport through walls, hmmm?”

“Uh, well, I mean…” Naruto frowned. “Maybe it’s teleportation that requires line of sight?”

“Hah! Teleportation that requires line of sight! Even though you can still do it with your eyes closed, and you can’t use it to teleport into the air. How is that different from high-speed movement, exactly?”

Naruto hesitated. “Well, if it’s high speed movement, where does all the energy go? I mean, if you’re moving faster than sound, shouldn’t there be a huge explosion when you suddenly stop or something?”


“I only realized it once the excitement wore off, but the body-flicker technique is one of the most basic academy techniques, taught to anyone who wants to become a genin. There’s no point in testing something that’s already been done a million times before, because we already know exactly how it works: The user casts the technique using hand signs and chakra, and it speeds up his movements so that he can cross a short distance in the time it takes to blink. That’s all there is to it.”

. “When you look at it, the substitution-technique does the exact same thing as the body-flicker technique, except that it also moves a similarly-sized object to your position at the same time. So even without looking it up I can guess that the substitution technique just casts the body flicker technique twice, once for you and once for an object that you coated with your chakra. Then it leaves an afterimage of your body behind in the same way as the transformation technique. There’s no mystery to it.”

So many people I talked to always make the mistake of assuming those jutsu are also space-time ninjutsu rather than clever application of high-speed movement.
>>
Is it just me, or was Sakura originally written as though she would become attracted to Naturo? Only for the author to retcon this and keep her childish crush on Sasuke.

Or am I being delusional?
>>
>>3551546

No, that's just Hermione syndrome, plus the fact that Sasuke never ever shows interest in Sakura (and Naruto never ever shows interest in Hinata) until basically after they've already got kids. In fact I've watched that damn show until it started getting too DBZ for my tastes (after Naruto became Hokage I stopped seeing the point) and I feel like Ino was left out of the whole thing first off and it just makes me mad and I'm gonna stop talking about it because you're wrong but Kishimoto understands relationships about as well as he understands ninjas.
>>
>>3548975
>>3549004

Going to be streamlining your training given that not many people showed interest in fully expanding Ninshou. But I'm still open to listen to what Min-maxing you do during the month in the temple.

Unsure of yourself of what to improve on, you decide to ask for some sage wisdom. Politely you brought your concerns to Chiriku, including on what should you do to improve. Showing such strong desire to learn about Ninshuu touched the entire monastery with your pure intentions. Deception was virtually impossible to hide from one who truly knows Ninshuu. Touched by this, Chiriku suggested to you to experience the Ninsou program.

From what you can understand, it would help you become more spiritually connected while further improving your physical capabilities. More importantly, it was to teach you how to use chakra in different ways compared to how you know it currently.

Undergoing all of this would put you that much closer to understanding Ninshu and obtaining it yourself. Ninshu wasn’t something that could easily be obtained in such a short time. Through diligence and hard work, you still held the potential to obtain it as does every person.

Being someone who appreciate training the fundamentals, you took Chiriku’s advice. You made sure it was alright with Kakashi and your other mentors. Fortunately, there was a noticeably large gap in time before you are needed for missions.

And with you gone, this worked in Kakashi’s favor of trying to teach teamwork and Genjutsu resistance training to Naruto and Sasuke among other skills that they desperately need. Something that you yourself experienced from Kurenai when learning Genjutsu from her.

Mental fortitude was also helpful in Kenjutsu practice and sense sharpening, so there were no complaints from Hayato and Yugao. Your mentors still gave you plenty of homework to do in order to not fall behind in your studies.

To anyone else that would bring them to despair. Being someone who’s truly committed to your studies and improvement, you only tackle the challenge head on with a smile.

Now clad in the monk’s Gi, you slowly tie your hair back in a fashionable pony tail to look the part. You begin to take part in the Ninsou training program.

For what can only be estimated as an entire month you diligently trained your mind and spirit. Opening yourself to the perspective of others made it easier for you to grasp the fundamentals and key elements.

With the time spent with Team Ten, you took part in the meditation stances. These were to help center the mind and focus the flow of chakra while improving the connection between the mind and spirit.

The longer you practice this, the more it dawns upon you that this was also an endurance game. To be still like stone for several hours took a lot of mental will. Something that you know Naruto couldn’t do.
>>
>>3551656

Although, with the added assistance from the ninja monks…. even Naruto could pull of this off …...eventually…. Every time you lost concertation, you were hit on the back with a wooden stick. In your case it was a chakra enhanced strike to break through in order for you to feel it. Can’t blame them now. Not that you weren’t used to this given how Yugao used a similar method to sharpen your senses.

Steadfast determination and iron resolve to steeled strength was forged under the Ninsou’s guidance. Spiritual and Mental strength quickly obtained and expanded upon. Synchronizing with another to strengthen one’s abilities and provide support. Even the inner secrets of the Ninsou’s creed was becoming more attuned to your core through your long training.

Your natural talent in diligence and hard work made you progress much faster than what anyone expected you to go. Perhaps in some way during your life you were following the fundamentals of Ninsou without realizing it. Subconsciously improving on the foundation of mind, body and spirit alongside your chakra control. Making learning techniques such as Barrier Ninjutsu, Medical Ninjutsu and Fuinjutsu a breeze as you improve on those skills further.

Safely the Ninsou quickly accepted you without issue, which was honestly surprising for you. In fact, it was through the Ninsou’s strong willingness to cooperate that you advance much further and quicker than you would normally.

For instance, it was through their teachings you manage to learn how to transfer chakra between yourself and others. A process that could only be done by synchronization to a person’s chakra and adjusting the flow for proper sharing. Unknowingly, you also subconsciously learned to siphon and absorb chakra. Probably due to your constant usage of Shinra Banshou and partially fusing with the Kubikiribōchō.

By learning the flow of chakra and further improving your chakra control and medical knowledge. You manage to surprise everyone by inverting learning the basics to chakra enhanced combat. With enough practice you could safely amplify your physical and mental capabilities in a far more consistent and safe manner. If you had Tsunade’s teaching, this skill would tremendously bloom. For now, it was becoming a valuable asset to keep up with your teammates.

The physical training in the mountains did wonders for your stamina and physical conditioning. Actually, this served as the final step for you to freely use Red Lotus and recover from its effect far quicker than normal. You were close to mastering the four weight seal as your herculean strength evolved to monstrous levels.

The survival skills and natural sensing you picked up from Team Eight showed further improvements. You were finally at the level where you could safely close your eyes and rely on your other senses to compensate instinctively, including your sixth sense and sensing technique. .
>>
>>3551662

Although you haven’t learned it fully, there has been hints of you picking up Ninshuu. Daily commitment to training would eventually give you the means to fully learn Ninshuu. The Ninsou in the temple were able to communicate without words. A skill that you were starting to get. Linking yourself was nature was easier to do than with other people.

You couldn’t replicate it fully, but things like reading a person’s intent and emotion was easier to do thanks to Yugao’s training. This was the high level ninja skill that you were told about. Predicting a person’s movement and action through intent was becoming more possible each time you commit to Ninshuu training.

What truly got to you was the philosophy of Ninshuu. An art meant to connect with people and the world around you. You were slowly diving deep into the religious teachings of Ninshuu. You heard something similar to the academy, but this was far more expansive than the friendship codes in the academy.

In your heart you deeply wanted to connect to people around you. Establish bonds, be a part of their life and for them to be connected to you. Maybe in some way…if Lord Hiruzen didn’t take you into the academy. Then just maybe…in another life you would’ve became a Ninshu rather than a Kunoichi.

Right now you didn’t have to choose between the two. Even with training done, you found yourself being an honorary Ninshu. The Ninshu always have their doors open for you when you needed some guidance, more teaching or just wanted to chat. You made lots of friends with the Ninshu during your time in their care.

With your newly acquired enlighten understanding of chakra, you believe you can be an even better supporter for Naruto and Sasuke. Not only could you heal more effectively, you can transfer chakra, link up senses, and many other Ninshu based skills. Though, you were still a novice in using the Ninshu exclusive teachings and skills.

Someday though, you may be able to pick up the highest level of Ninshu…. Gift of the Sages. A special kind of skill capable of producing a special kind of chakra similar to Senjutsu but not to the same extremes.

But it’s at its best when use in cooperation as it was also “anti-ninjutsu”. It was different compared to Samurais as it merely protects and neutralizes a jutsu rather than viciously destroy it. It was something that you could appreciate given your current morality.

At some point before accepting the program, you also took part in preparing a special order for Team Seven. After your experiences in the Land of Snow, it was better to become more equipped for the challenges ahead. Sure, there was your trump card Scorch Release. Yet you didn’t want to solely rely on it, better off making it a last resort if anything. That’s why you wanted to improve your weapons. Thankfully, it was a request that went through as you meet up with Team Seven to pick their equipment.

>What did you order from Tenten's shop?
>>
>>3551670
Get a sword for sasuke and something for naruto sasuke is already getting good at kenjutsu so maybe having one on him will make him a little better with it no idea what for naruto though
>>
>>3551670
Yeah get the sword, specifically a chakra blade. Also sure we are stocked up on any other supplies we may need. Has she figured out how to make more Ice Bomb? If yes get some of those. I strongly doubt the armor is done.
>>
>>3551683
>>3551674

Alongside the usual preparations, each of you manage to receive your own custom weapons. Naturally you asked about your secret weapon. Elemental bombs based on the ice one was no problem producing.

The chakra armor was another story. Even with the blueprints and schematics you stole from Doto. It didn't change the fact it was taking a long time deciphering. The basics of chakra defenses and absorption while doable was taking longer to perfect.

Same goes for chakra and jutsu amplification. The worst of it was balancing the reactor to avoid having it self-destruct just by being near others.

Despite this, a prototype was made in the form of Tekko Gauntlet for you to use. It was good enough for you to experiment with and gain some more field testing.

Sasuke was now carrying a Chokutō, it was a straight, one-edged Japanese sword that served Sasuke far more effectively than getting a regular Katana. His assortment of shurikenjutsu tools and wires were enhanced to better improve his Fre Release tactics.

Naruto on the other hand who was taught swordsmanship by both of you chose to pick up a Ninjatō. A short sword, often portrayed as having a straight blade that was known to be thick, heavy and straight. Naruto still preferred the chakra blade kunais he was carrying. He still didn’t object to having a chakra bladed weapon like the two of you.

You however held your special katana close to you. Considering that you are wielding Kubikiribōchō, a special kind of sword was needed to properly train you for wielding Kubikiribōchō in secret.

Using the countless resources, of which you frequently acquired throughout your life, they were able to remake your Chakra Blade Katana. Not one but two special green blades that are capable of attaching themselves to one another through the hilt.

On its own, they could freely change themselves from the size of a tantō to a large ōdachi. Highly valuable on its own, but with Shinra Banshou you could freely control the shape and size. The sword was very compatible with you.

Once again it proves the paranoia deep in your heart that someone clearly knows you have Shinra Banshou and authorize Tenten’s family to produce such a fine weapon for you. Going as far to get additional materials from the Land of Iron to help with its creation.

Sugari no Ontachi (須賀利御太刀; Lit. Honorable Long Sword Profiting by Any Means) was the name for your new weapon. Still in the prototype stages, it still serves to accurately represent your growing potential much like your unique jutsu Inner Sakura. Its beautiful craftsmanship combined with its protective and absorbent nature made you reflect to bees as another flower pun was coming your way.
>>
>>3551723

Tenten’s family was paid extensively for their hardwork. Them were just one of the perks knowing the best weapon smiths in Konoha. With your “donation” in fine materials, you got off with good discounts to free weapons depending on your findings. A blessing to you thanks only to Shinra Banshou.

Sasuke holds the vast wealth of the Uchihas and Naruto was in a similar boat with his family savings and the treasures left by Uzumaki Mito and the Uzumaki clan.

Of course it managed by Lord Hiruzen and their respective guardians Yūgao and Tenzō. One man in particular who was close to Naruto was reined back by Hiruzen due to his…unfortunate habits.

Still, their parental guardians made sure that Sasuke and Naruto learned the high values of management at a very young age. How did that person end up being Naruto’s god father continues to baffle you to this day.

Still, you can’t help but feel very envious to both Naruto and Sasuke. A feeling that quickly went away when you remember that no matter how much vast wealth that both kids carry.

It wouldn’t replace the emptiness of being an orphan that they are forced to endure. Adopted parents can only do so much for them. And having Anbu secretly watching you was also not as comforting as one would think.

Once suited up you make your way to reunite with Kakashi. He was waiting on the entrance into Konoha. With him was a rather meekly man with dark brown hair.

You look at him confusingly for a bit before turning to Kakashi. Wasn’t long before it dawns upon you that this was going to be what you feared most…. an escort mission.

“Alright. Now that you properly got equipped and suited based on your experiences from the Land of Snow. I can begin debriefing you on your next mission. We’re head to the Land of Waterfalls to escort one of our allies’ future head on his way back home. His name is Shibuki.”

“I thought you agreed that we wouldn’t be doing anymore C-Rank escort missions!”

“And I did. It’s a B rank mission. Lord Hiruzen was proud of our achievements in both missions that he was willing to let us handle this important B rank mission. You should feel very proud.”

>Remember to complain to Lord Hiruzen once this is over and quietly walk with Shibuki
>Complain throughout the walk that it was another escort mission
>Openly smile while mentally screaming/letting paranoia kick in
>Distract yourself by talking to Shibuki and learn more about the Waterfall village.
>Other [write in]

These next few missions are going to be much shorter compare to the Land of Snow arc. So prepare yourself for the final hoop before we go to the chuunin exams. Also dat low-key mentioning of Jiraiya.

Glad we held off of teaching Tenten Flying Thunder God.

This makes me wonder if Hiruzen knew she memorised it from the night she saw the scroll, or whether Kakashi alerted him later.
>>
>>3551743
Also just to recap for me, after the Ninsou training
>Improved medical and sealing skills
>Transfer chakra to others
>Absorb chakra from the enviroment (!!!)
>Enhance our strength with chakra (not to canon shippuden Sakura's levels yet, but getting there)
>Can use red lotus without fucking up our body after
>Improved sensing (to the point of going eyes free)

Damn she really is blossoming.

Didn't Naruto get fighting sticks at the very end?
>>
>>3551752

Truth Seeking balls that transformed into staffs yes

>>3551746

You can absorb chakra from living things, the environment is a whole another story. Not to mention you're not yet trained to handle Senjutsu properly.
>>
>>3551743
I did some digging on Flying Thunder God and it might require more than just being fast and proficiency with fuinjutsu. It also requires high grade analytical skills and sensing abilities since using it can get you killed if you’re not careful.
>>
>>3551743
>>3551731

Obviously you were fuming over Kakashi once again managing to loophole his way out of this. If he wasn’t your teacher and more likely to counter whatever you throw at him.

Chances are you’d punch him straight into the deep blue sky. Luckily training with the Ninsou have taught you to better control your emotions. Putting them to good use, you enter a tranquil like state and resume smiling.

“Shibuki wasn’t it? My name is Sakura Haruno. Pleased to meet you.”

“L-Likewise Sakura.” He shakes your hand. Both of you end up smiling at this show good nature.

“I’m Naruto Uzumaki. I’m the number one student from the academy.”

“Sasuke Uchiha. Actual number one in Konoha academy. The dimwit over there is lying.”

“Sasuke! What’s with you always nitpicking whatever I say.”

“I’m just stating facts.”

“Well you don’t have to be a dick about it!”

The bickering that usually annoy you was a mere afterthought to you. Old Sakura naturally should be interrupting the boys to tell them to shut up. That was old Sakura. New Sakura has transcended such childish antics. Instead you drown it out by focusing your attention back to the cheerful Shibuki.

“So you’re the village leader. You must be pretty talented to reach such a position at such a young age.”

“Well my parents used to be the leaders of Takigakure. But…due to reasons I ended up being the new leader of the village. Among the other candidates, I was the most well suited for the village. My Water Release style is something to be called prodigy level. So you’re right about that.”

“What’s the Takigakure like?”

“It’s a beautiful place protected by a massive tree from over several centuries. The village is quite peaceful and blooming with beauty. The water is the purest out of the five great nations. Not to mention it is home to countless good villagers and frequently produce very strong ninjas throughout the ages. And don’t get me started on our plant life.”

Hooked doesn’t even begin to describe how invested you are with Takigakure. How you wish you could see it up close after hearing about it. Although it wasn’t recognized as a major village, it was never once invaded. An impressive feat that you have to give credit to its natural geography. The entire village has its own natural barrier in addition to the secret entrance inside the mountain waterfall.
>>
>>3552102

Not that it changed the fact it also nurtured countless ninja that took part in wars. Takigakure was not a village that was to be taken lightly based on his many heroic achievements. You were learning a lot about Takigakure, possibly annoying the rest of the team with your bookworm tendencies.

Now you weren’t sure if you were seeing things but you notice there was a hint of sadness coming from Shibuki. Especially when it came to talking about his parents. Logically, you gather that there must be a lot of responsibilities that was weighting Shibuki down.

Yet you feel like there was more to it than that. Before you got the chance to ask him, a bird starts to fly off in the distance.

The act sent Shibuki into a frantic panic. Quickly Shibuki ran behind you in order to hide from the bird. Naruto looks at it closely before looking back to Shibuki.

“Huh? It’s only just a bird flying.”

“Please be quiet! I know that!” Shibuki screamed, resuming to then coward behind you in fear.

Words could not express how disappointed you currently are at the scene. This was not becoming of the newly village leader. Sasuke ignored the entire thing.

Naruto was disgusted by the sight. Kakashi was just looking at Shibuki with only slight concern. Something must have happened to make Shibuki act like he has post-traumatic stress disorder. That or he was just a coward. At least he was no Princess Kyouki.

Eventually you made your way back to the village. Like Shibuki said it didn’t take all that long to reach. In the time it took you, you learned that there was a special person that you were to take back to the village.

Seems like Shibuki and Lord Hiruzen came to an agreement on the matter during Shibuki’s stay. You didn’t poke your nose into this. If Lord Hiruzen said it was okay to have an outsider come live inside the village then who are you to put your foot down.

Speaking of putting your foot down, you catch a carrier hawk flying down towards Kakashi. Extending out his left arm, Kakashi safely directs the bird to land.

Kakashi then grabbed the note before letting the bird off his arm. You watched him with mild curiosity as Kakashi reads the note. The angle made it impossible for you to look at it. Judging from his face it was rather serious.

“Well it looks like I been called to an important meeting. It’s fine if I leave it up to you since you’re already close to the drop off point?” Kakashi smiles.

“Sure! No problem Master Kakashi! We got this!” Naruto boldly exclaimed.

“Hmmph, it was a boring trip so far. So we should be fine finishing the job and getting home by ourselves.” Sasuke disinterestedly turns from the group.
>>
>>3552110

Some part in your mind you wanted to interject and tell them no we shouldn’t be careless. Perhaps you were just being overly cautious. You decide to just roll with it. Everything was fine and the entrance to Takigakure was just around the corner. Once he saw everyone was in unison, Kakashi waves before vanishing altogether. It was just the three of you now on Team Seven. No pressure.

As you keep your promise to Shibuki and not look at the secret entrance, you see some children coming from out of nowhere. From what you then gathered, it seems that the kids were tasked to clean up the river. Shibuki quickly offered your services to help with the matter.

Normally this would make you irritated, but Shibuki was paying you for it. That and your training at the monastery helped you put aside such irritation and rage to more productive manners as you keep your cool.

Sasuke probably, dunno about Naruto.

>>3552142

Cleaning up the river was a no brainer to trained ninjas like yourselves. Naruto naturally complained about it but couldn’t say no to the kids. Sasuke treated it as merely part of the mission. So he didn’t really complain about it. Thinking hard about how to best turn this into another team building exercise, a wicked idea forms in your head.

In order to make things more interesting, you decide to bring up cleaning the river while not touching the water. Sasuke and Naruto looked at you with mild curiosity. You went to explain that three of you should use the walking on water technique to do it. The children were interested at the sight of seeing ninjas do ninja things. It got Shibuki to accept without any issue once you clean your shoes.

Naturally Naruto interjected by saying they already know the technique. A sound argument from Naruto but you quickly quelled Naruto’s fire before it even begins to burn. Reluctantly, Naruto goes along with your suggestion after you destroyed him with a rather convincing argument.

Sasuke saw through your suggestion. Already he figured out your true objective. Thankfully Sasuke doesn’t say anything against you. If anything, Sasuke riled up Naruto precisely to get him involved with the task. With that out of the way, the three of you begin the game.

For you, the exercise was as effortless as breathing. So as a handicap, you decide to walk on the water with just your fingers doing the walking. A feat that further impressed Naruto while Sasuke merely bats an eye before going in. Without any doubt Sasuke was handling the walking on water exercise swimmingly.

Naruto on the other hand was rather sloppy about it. Sure he was managing to pull off the walking on water trick. Unfortunately, it took him several tries to adjust to the moving waters. It was different from the salt water he was used to considering he didn’t have the minerals to help solidify the water.

Quickly the three of you manage to clean up the river while the kids were keeping score. You tied with Sasuke who decided to put himself on the same stipulation as you. Naruto did the same but struggled.

As you prepare to leave you notice a woman walking in the distance. She was badly hurt as evident by the multiple cuts and bruises. Shibuki was deeply disturbed by this. Upon delivering the message of an attack in the village, the mother of the children soon fell down to the ground.

You quickly made your way to check on her condition. It was non-fatal but she was losing a lot of blood and need serious medical attention.

Naruto and Sasuke talked to Shibuki about going inside the village’s entrance to stop the invaders. Shibuki reluctantly agrees to the plan.

Hey Sage want me to teach you the basic process through which those pills you often see in Naruto might have been used to create them? From what I’ve seen the Hero Water would be a good ingredient for such pills.
>>
>>3552844

yeah sure go for it
>>
>>3552857
Well I’ve seen multiple different methods and the pills in Naruto most closely resemble herbal pill specifically “tea pills”. Tea pills I’m not completely sure on but I found this
https://1stchineseherbs.com/how-to-use-teapills/
>Teapills are made by blending together the herbs in the formula, then slowly cooking the mixture in water. This tea is simmered down into a concentrate, and later formed into small pills.
Other pills were easier to find info on and found a few sites that explained how to make them.
http://greenpathherbschool.com/making-herbal-pills/
https://learningherbs.com/remedies-recipes/whole-food-vitamin-c-pills/
Basic process here is that you take the herbs, turn them into a powder, then use excipients (which will help bind it together) and turn it into a paste, you then take the paste and roll it into a pill, and finally dry it.

With Inner Sakura, you were able to travel alongside Naruto and the gang. Leaving the healing to your original body, Inner Sakura can focus on helping beating up the bad guys.

By following Shibuki, the gang made their way through the waterfall and into the secret caves. Given the deep darkness of the surroundings, Inner Sakura quickly form a light with your chakra to look around.

Inner Sakura soon discover some strange carvings on the wall as she travels. The words were far too ancient for any of you to read it. And the pictures show what you can only assume a lost civilization from long ago.

What truly catches your eye was the sight of a woman. She was standing at the center of these ancient civilization drawings. From what you can tell, she resembles something akin to a rabbit coming from the moon.

Surrounded by an aura of light, she seems to appear as a benevolent being. You can only assume that with some of the ruins being worn out through the test of time that most of the story was lost to the test of time.

You don’t really pay much attention to it as Naruto calls you out to hurry up. Inner Sakura shrugs it off before making it towards the ponds and dives right in to travel further.

Back at the outside it didn’t take you long before you manage to safely patch up and heal the children’s mother. You quickly reassure the children that she was going to be alright. The two children were relieved over hearing the good news. You could reach the gang if you hurry up now.

While such a thing was possible, it was also quite irresponsible. For now, you would stay with the kids until the mother awaken. Keeping your senses in tune but it wasn’t as strong as it could be currently given your split focus with Inner Sakura.


“Well now, looks like I made an interesting discovery.”

Before you had the chance to react, a quick chop to the neck was enough to mess with your senses. Traces of chakra flow into your body, clinging against your skin like a tick. Considering your composition, it wasn’t enough to knock you out. Something that catches attention from one of the mysterious figures as they soon drop to your location.

“My, she’s certainly a tough one. Usually ones who get hit by Kirisame’s pressure point attack tend to stay unconscious.”

“Getting passed her senses was an amusing game as it is. So I’m fine if she wants to put up a struggle. Makes it more fun that way Hisame.”

“As much as that sound interesting Kirisame, we’re getting on topic. Right Master Suiken?”

“Correct Murasame. Stay focus on the task at hand. We’ll have plenty of time for fun once we liberate the village.”

“Yes Master Suiken.” All three bow to the trench coat man.

“Water Release: Transform at Will” Suiken snaps his finger after making a single hand sign.

>>3552940
We should be able to warn them we are being attacked.

A jelly like substance merges from the mark on your back. Like some sort of parasite, the living jelly starts to sap you off your strength. Struggling to look around your surroundings, you were in the presence of four individuals. A tall, lanky brown haired male whose face was obscured like your mentor Kakashi.

Next, was a rather rugged and musclebound man with white hair and green face paint around his face. On to the right of the man was beautiful brunette woman dressed in seductive yet tasteful attire. Lastly, at the center was a middle-aged man in a trench coat. Giving off the commanding aura you feel from him, you can only imagine him being the leader.

“Shall we use her to test that?” Hisame turns to Suiken as she grabs for his approval.

“Oooooh. Now that would be fun. “Kirisame laughs wildly. You compare him to a hyena with his erratic behavior.

“I have no qualms with making use of our enemy.” Murasame closes his eyes and fold his arms after taking not of your physique.

Without saying a word, Suiken commands Murasame to hold you close with added insurance. The jelly like liquid continue to swarm around in its hasted attempt at restraining you. Easier said than done considering that it was requiring more chakra than they’re expecting to hold you down.

“See this? This is called the Hero Water. A highly concentrated mineral water made from the sacred tree. Combined with the sap it makes, it refines the water and raises it to its highest quality. Normal Hero Water only last temporally and can be quite dangerous to the untrained body. Even a trained person still runs risk of death for a temporal boost that is out of their control. It takes the power of the sap to stabilize the growth to make it permanent at the cost of the user’s life-force. Then there’s the fact it takes quite a long time to harvest enough of the special sap produced by the tree in order to make the true Hero Water. Very inconvenient wouldn’t you agree?” Suiken shows you the Hero water in mid conversation, gauging your level of interest as he explains. He soon pulls out another serum out from his trenchcoat.

“That’s where this comes in. Our benefactor has helped us experiment with the water’s property to create this variation. It hasn’t been tested fully and to be honest I was going to make Shibuki consume it to confirm its value. If successful, then we’d have ourselves a never ending source of pure Hero Water. No longer will we have to wait to replenish our resources in such an inefficient manner. We can weaponized this and return to our former glory. “

“Most important of all, we’d be able to finally migrate the death rate from drinking the water. Safely increasing our reserves while amplifying our power. No longer will we be restricted in how much we can improve our chakra levels.” Hisame interject while keeping the kids from escaping.

“We can become much stronger. “Murasame reflects with his own envision of the experiment succeeding.


“Either you’d die from the strain or on the off chance you survive, we’ll put you out of your misery. No matter what your life is going to end Konoha brat.” A wicked smile forms from Kirisame. Looking down at you like he was sending lambs to the slaughterhouse, he continues to fantasize over your suffering.

“Well said. So do be a good test subject and survive for our village sake okay?”

Suien stares at you with a soft smile. Murasame continues to keep you restrained, forcing your head upwards. Deep chills start to run down your spine in anticipation for what’s to come.

From within Suien’s trench coat he pulls out a special clear gourd. Filled with the magical waters, you can feel the immense chakra that was flowing from the water. No one would blame you if you were terrified about what's to come.

Struggle as you may you felt the liquid being forced down upon you. Intense pressure starts building up inside of you. Almost as it your entire body was compulsion immensely from the overwhelming flow. Every cell in your body screams at the constant chain of destruction and recreation.

Normally, the Eight Inner Gates that regulate and keep your chakra under control was being overwhelmed by the rapid increase of chakra flow. You needed to do something before it gets too bad.

Another divergence time. Aside from foreshadowing future events in the main story and building up on the overall lore. I made the necessary changes to Suiken and his ideals. If he knows for the fact that the Hero water is dangerous to drink and consume his lifeforce.

Why would he half-haphazardly drink it with no care for his life? Not to mention his goals to gain the hero water which is such an issue to extract yet he drinks it all like a gluttonous pig honestly doesn't make any sense. For Ova villains you can tell how little effort was put into this. So instead I made him a more cautious yet still ambitious man. Working with another certain individual in order to gain the power to return Takigakure to it's former glory after the events of the Third World War...and another event that will be made to you lot soon.

Yeah I found that strange. Orochimaru is involved isn’t he? I really can’t think of anyone else that could be pulling the strings here except for Danzo but I doubt it’s him. The perfect opportunity to have Danzo show up is after the Chunin exam if we become a Chunin.

It's orochimaru, For part 1 he is the central antagonist as he should be. Akatsuki is hanging out in the background prepping, but they'll have their chance in part 1. Also the tree is a fraction of the chakra fruit tree that managed to survive. It's MUCH weaker and less dangerous than it's parent. https://narutoversity.wordpress.com/2017/08/12/the-village-hidden-in-the-waterfall/

Inspired by concepts such as Sakura Banner, Solid Gold Fist, and other game originals. As well as Orochmaru’s extensive experiments to tap into all the secrets of the human body. Cat Covering also had a hand.

Antlion Ninja Arts: Ephemeral…a Kinjutsu similar to the Eight Inner Gates and Calorie Control. It enhances the body through manipulation of the Tenketsu Points, focusing on tapping into several points rather than focusing primarily on the Eight Inner Gates of Tenketsu. Tapping into these points, they can unlock the body’s full potential as chakra swells up from the unrestrained Teketsu.

By forcibly controlling the flow of chakra and accelerating it extensively, they can produce devastating effects such as enhancing the body’s natural abilities, amplifying one’s chakra quality for empowered techniques, physical manifestation of chakra for greater shape manipulation and chakra cloaking, even including destroying a person’s pathway system due to the immense chakra flow.

It is considered to be the pinnacle of Chakra Control as not just anyone can draw such a power without drastically burning out one’s own life-force in the process. That said, it still causes immense strain on the body as prologue exposure can negatively impact the spirit and mind. Extensive medical knowledge is also required in order to avoid negatively destroy the body with the release of certain Tenketsu points.

Another note is that the great risk of chakra exhaustion that comes from each usage if one isn't careful about chakra management. The forcibly release of chakra through the Tenketsu can also over continuous usage or prorogued exposure can pose a risk of damaging the chakra pathway networks.

Forcing you to drink the entire gourd, you felt your insides burning from the experience. Words currently escape you to describe how positively painful this was. Too much, it was positively too much for you to handle. Reduced to a fit of loud screams, you quickly collapse to the ground in immense strain.

“Look at that. She took the entire gourd and she’s still hanging on. Either she’s really something else or our benefactor the Wonderful One kept his end of the deal. “Hisame clapped her hands with glee.

“Very nice. I’m quite pleased with the results.” Suien nods in approval of your progression.

“Does this mean I can kill her now?” Kirisame looks to Suien, rubbing his hands together with excitement.

“Not yet. We need to head to where the purist source of Hero water. Once we amplify the source, we can replenish it endlessly without worry. Although, unlike that brat over there pulsating from the seizure, we should drink in moderation to let our bodies naturally adapt to it. Even in it’s perfect state, we shouldn’t be careless. “

“Yes Master Suiken.” All said in unison.

“Murasame, bring the girl with you once she stops pulsating. We’ll meet up with you at the center of the Takigakure village. We still need to relinquish our dear Shibuki of his burden as village head.”

“As you command Master Suiken.” Murasame bows, watching his comrades disappear in the shadow with the children.

You on the other hand was put into a near death experience. The constant experience of your body destroying itself and recreating itself was a whole new level of pain you never thought you experienced. Constantly screaming in your mind was the strong desire of death. Whether it was your strong will, or the desire for the pain to stop, you find yourself fully embracing the experience.

There was no resistance, allowing the natural energy produce by the dragon veins that was now filtered to flow into you. Every cell in your body began to absorb the alienating chakra. In order to survive, your body went through the effort to remaking your body into a container capable of handling the vast chakra now flowing through your body. Two of the Eight Inner Gates were forcibly opened by the Hero’s water.

Through sheer force of will, you kept the remaining six gates from opening despite the quantity of Hero Water you drank. The process left you positively drained. Honestly you weren’t even sure if you were alive. Driven into deliriously, you think back to the important people in your life. Going as far to envision your own death and how they would handle it.

Truly a heart wrenching experience capable of making you cry even now. The last thing you saw before blacking out was that stone carving. The woman with the rabbit like horns. Why exactly where you thinking that in a time like this? No matter, your consciousness quickly blacks out.
>>
>>3553437

“You lasted quite a while kid. But it looks like your flames just went out. A pity…I wanted to see more of what the reformed Hero Water can do.” Murasame slowly reaches for your body. Upon coming close to it, your right arm quickly springs to life to grab at his thick forearm.

“…Kill you…” You muttered in a hazy tone.

“…Huh?”

“…kill you….”

“What are you mumbling about now?” Murasame asked, trying to remove your tightening grip from his hand. You however start to rise up from the ground, hair covering your face as your teeth sharpen.

“…I’ll…kill you!” Your voice distorts, sounding more feral and aggressive by the second. With great force you threw Murasame out from the cave and into the water.

Slowly you make your way out of the cave, eyes glowing as you growl intensely. Fight or Flight couldn’t begin to describe the heretical strength that was currently oozing out of you.

Chakra begins to flow violently from your Tenketsu Points. It begins to shoot out from your back, taking the form of four different chakra points.

The chakra starts to combine those four geyser of chakra, reshaping itself into the form of wings. Constant chakra was leaking out from the body, enveloping you in a veil of chakra. Almost like some sort of cloak of densely thick chakra, it serves as a thin yet tremendously compacted multi-layered armor.

Your pupil was slit like a berserk animal’s, changing color to that of a golden shade. That beautiful pink hair of yours begin to turn a deep shade of snow white.

Your muscles tenses if not growing from the constant stimulation and circulation of the deep mass of chakra flowing through you.

Every cell of your body was enriched by both the enhanced pure Hero Water but the amplification of the Chakra pathway system. It was becoming a part of you, mixing with your own natural chakra.

In the process, a switch begins to flip. A switch that hasn’t been flipped since the battle with Haku. Though you were driven into hysteria due to stress…. while this was different. It was far more…primal.

All of your senses were unleashed, stimulated far beyond your normal capacity. To handle the overwhelming process power, you currently display, your mind went into a more primal state.

Controlled by countless impulses and different stimuli to bypass the limitation of the augmented muscles’ electrical signals and brain power traveling too fast for comparatively slow nervous system to process.

Right now, you were controlled by the intense pain your body currently felt. Driving you to the point of pure aggression and destructive impulses.

Murasame was in complete awe over your sight. Pulling himself from the ground, he watched the chakra circulating around your body constantly in a violent manner. Standing in place with constant compulsion, your reinforced body starts to slowly adapt to the immense strain.
>>
>>3553445

“So this what our lord the Wonderful One was talking about by refining the Hero Water. Interesting. How very interesting! Now show me what you can do…Konoha Bra- “He got into position readying himself for a fight.

Before the giant musclebound man could finish, you deliver a powerful punch from his right side. Those eyes of his couldn’t keep your instantaneous movement. The strike of your punch sends him flying across the lake.

The force was enough to cause your fist to tremble. Yet you endured, getting rather turned on by your power as it far greater than red lotus. Crowing downwards to the ground like savage beast, you start to circulate chakra through to your legs. They start to ripen and swell momentarily before compacting itself. With your enhanced leg muscles, you disappear once again in a instance.

>Continue your brutal onslaught on Murasame
>Go after the ones that did this to you?
>Seek out more chakra

Internal struggle has reached a whole new playing field. As for the white hair, I based it on the event where Nagato overexert himself with his chakra consumption to the point of death. In this case, too much chakra flowing out of you is momentarily turning your pink hair white. As for the eyes, once again related to the wonderful one. Diluted Natural Chakra from the tree is still Natural Chakra.

It sways between functioning like a curse mark and a mode like Eight Inner Gates/Chakra Cloak ninjutsus. Violent Impulses pushed to their extremes as it tears away at the mind all with the intent to survive.

At least there's an excuse for Part II Sakura's violent tendencies and quick impulses if you willingly succumb to this.

Not willing to concern yourself over the fate of the enemy, your senses focused elsewhere. Filled with intense rage and violent impulses, the only thing you wanted was retribution. Using your enhanced senses, it was child’s play to transverse through the cave. By the time you arrive, you make your way into Takigakure. Sharp pains would be the only greeting, this new found state was quite bothersome.

Right when the mind-numbing tedium of the chakra drain impact you further, something strange happens with the chakra. Almost following on the thought of your subconscious did the giant wings start to shrink. Compression upon compression, the chakra veil reconstitute itself to a compressed formless mass. The chakra circulation kept the leakage to almost a non-factor. Berserk or not your chakra control continues to shine through.

Kneeling downwards followed by eyes darting, you slowly pick up movement. How long has it been since you drank the water and underwent the unbearable torture? An hour, several, or perhaps even a day or more. Time wasn’t exactly within your current level of comprehension. Such matters were also unnecessary to think about. Driving you was your primal urges and growing violent impulses.

Once you caught the chakra signatures you quickly pounce ahead. Out in the distance, it seems that Naruto and Sasuke were fighting Suiken. In the brief observation, it looks like Hisame and Kirisame were struggling to get up. Shibuki was on the floor unconscious. Small fry that you care not to associate yourself with. Instead, you make your way towards Suiken.

That is what you wanted to do. A sudden kick from behind forces you into the depths of the water. Looking from below you saw that it was an injured Murasame. He was holding his right arm before walking over to Kirisame and Hisame. The three of them exchange words before receiving a boom of their own via the Hero Water.

Frustration didn’t cover just how pissed off you were. The water around you was practically boiling around you. Resurgence of escalating power start to overflow once again as you make your move. No one was going to keep you from getting payback…not now or ever.

Kirisame, Hisame and Murasame felt their power constantly rising from drinking the bottled Hero Water. Caution was thrown out the window after the multitude of defeats they were having.

Nobody could blame them if they were driven by sheer fury. Something that all of you have in common. Their apprehension growing by the second, waiting for your next move.

“Now we’re equal. So let’s play Konoha Bra-!” Murasama tried to taunt you to flush you out with a laugh.

Once again you cut him off in mid laughter. Just by thrusting your elbow into his side, you send Murasame flying into the distance. Staring at him with an eerily grin, he found himself staring with a demon. Shadow of the dancing leaf made effortless to catch up behind him. His eyes couldn’t follow your erratic movements.

“Water Release Water Weapon- “

Before he could finish crafting weapons of water, his fate was already sealed. Flurry of blows after another, Murasama was pummeled into the waters.

Each one of your blows was capable of causing some large scale damage to the scenery. One can only imagine how much pain he was in trying to block a single punch.

Seeing Hisame and Kirisame manifest whips of water, you took the first initiative. Charging at them with great force, Hisame and Kirisame timed their water whips to your movement. Graceful as a butterfly, you easily dodge their attacks.

Quickly closing the distance, the formless chakra mimics Hisame and Kirisame’s attack. Transforming itself into two large tendrils, it coils deeply against them.

“…Suffer…”

Tightening your grip with great intensity, Hisame and Kirisame could only scream in response. The densely thick tendrils muffled their screams.

In addition to the bone crushing tightness, the tendrils forcibly began siphoning chakra from them. Struggle as they did it was a futile effort. The process only drained more of their chakra, making them even weaker than previously.

One couldn’t be sure if it’s because they were using the Hero Water that drew the tendrils to absorbing their chakra.

Or the near death experience awakened a hidden talent within you. Either way, you painfully drain them of their newly gained resources. Empowering you further while simultaneously increasing your own enhanced reserves.

Suddenly you look down to notice a whip of water wrapped around your neck.

“…Got you now. Heart Acceleration Jutsu & Water Release: Rapid Thunder Whip”

Through a combination of enhancing his chakra flow and using the whip as conductor, you were met with a rapid surge of electricity.

Musasame laughs to himself finally paying you back for the humiliation. And yet you still stare at him with a rather creepy smile. Deception made its course as Musasame only now realize just how much he fucked up.
>>
>>3553740

Adrenaline continues to pump into you as your sense of pain greatly dulls. Despite the constant drain you were feeling, it seems like your body was getting used to the power and strain of Antlion Ninja Arts.

With that in mind, you subtly link yourself to Musasame’s whip upon making contact. Subtly draining Musasame of his chakra much like his companions. The Heart Acceleration Jutsu only made the process go that much faster.

“…Monster…you’re a real dem….”

Too drained to finish his hysterical blabbering, Musasame drops into the water. Kirisame and Hisame soon relinquish themselves to the same fate.

They weren’t dead, but you certainly made them wish that they were. Your chakra tanks were practically exploding from the vast abundant of chakra.

Overfilled with this power, your eyes glow brightly. Focusing their attention towards Suien, you leap forward to finish the fight and get revenge.

SOSP mentioned Inner was still with the boys at some point and didn't say anything more on that front, not to mention our actual self is currently running on instinct.
Thought it was a reasonable addon considering the circumstances.

>>3553768
Honestly I’d call it something different because it seems to be more of a variation than the actual Antlion tech. Maybe something like Demon Butterfly Rebirth which sort of fits what just happened.

I'm going to be blunt.

>>3553811

The actual Antlion tech is....very lacking so I expanded upon it to make it an actually viable move. But if you prefer it to be called a new name altogether.

Then I'm probably going with this Shinsei Mahachisu (新生魔; Rebirth/Resurrection of the Demon Lotus Fruit)

Will and Desire are synonymous and our desire is to beat his face in. Just because you think clone are completely independent like that does not mean they actually are.
>>
>>3553892
>Will and Desire are synonymous
Okay, real talk.
Since when has this been the case?
If your desires and will were the same thing we wouldn't have anything to restrain ourselves with, we would all be impulsive jackasses that didn't think things through.
>>
>>3553918
>not knowing synonymous means
Also you don’t realize that most people have conflicting internal desires that drive. That’s what internal conflict is all about. What do you think our desires are? Do you really think we don’t have multiple conflicting desires?

That’s not what synonym means. A wall and a boundary are synonyms but are not the same thing.

Because that isn’t how it works from what the series has established. Clones are completely subservient and would only act on want we really want them to (or what we command them to). Thus if we are right enough in our mind to command the clone we don’t need to stop us. Consistency is more important to me.

They also aren’t that independent. They can’t go against us. You are saying a clone can go against us while saying they can’t turn against us.
All clones are capable of independent action but none are that independent.
>>
>>3554018
Also your argument is in fact predicated on the idea that clones can turn on the user for subconscious reasons which is stupid. Nobody in their right mind would make a clone that can turn on the user like that because you’d end up with shit like Ido.

Now carrying the chakra of four individuals who drank the enhanced Hero Water. There was just one more to be sacrificed to the great cause.

Suien had just gotten done pushing a Kyuubi enhanced Naruto back alongside Sasuke with his Sharingan. Drunken from his own power, Suien prepares to make hand signs for the Water Dragon Bullet.

Appearing instantly, you manage to easily catch Suien off guard. With a well-timed roundhouse kick, Suien quickly spins out of control against the water.

Quickly he pulls himself together, looking for you as you suddenly disappear again. Teleporting above him, you slam your leg down against him. Suien was knocked deep into the water while he tries to regain his senses.

Once again you disappear from everyone’s sight. The high speed movement transcended the Body Flicker Technique.

In fact, it’d be better compared to breaking yourself into pure chakra before instantaneously teleporting to your next destination. A method similar to Flying Thunder God or Summoning Technique yet still unique in Space-Time Ninjutsu.

Abusing this resulting in Suien being reduced to a ragdog against your superior movement and physical prowess.

He could only counter with the Tornado of Water defense since his eyes could not keep up even with the chakra from the Hero Water. As he wraps himself in a constant vortex of water, you only smirk at this before.

The Tornado of Water did its job of disbursing and reducing the kinetic force of your augmented punches. Yet it couldn’t inflict the immense power right back at you.

It was just a miracle that it was holding itself together against this terrifying threat. Left without any other options, Suien drinks the last of the Hero Water before preforming some hand signs.

“Water Release: Water Armor”

The water around him start to spiral into the tornado wall. Suien was now wrapped within a clear liquid like coating as it spreads throughout his entire body.

He resembled like he just got swallowed by a giant slime given the armor’s appearance. He makes a makeshift water cutter blade as he took a stance.

“This Water will defend me while simultaneously increasing my range and dexterity. So even if my eyes can’t follow you, the chakra will react accordingly. You can’t hope to overpower this formation.”

The only thing you did was ripen your muscles, expanding and contracting them as Chakra explode furiously from your back. Words almost didn’t resonate with you.

You were far too consumed by impulses created by rage to listen. Rather, you push your body further beyond its natural limits to continue the battle with Suien.

Like Suien said the Water Armor protecting him while alerting him of your moves. It did him no good as he was still far too slow to truly capitalize.

Even with the full power of his armor and the Hero Water. He was somehow outmatched by you. His mind rattle this while you savagely beat him.
>>
>>3554065

He was a jounin, the elite. He couldn’t forgive himself losing to a snot nose brat. Especially when you and him drank from the same source. So why was he being overpowered? As he contemplates this, you were once again building more Chakra around you as you start to glow violently.

“Reincarnation of the Demon Lotus Fruit: Lotus Light”

Upon saying those words, you disappear from sight. To Suien’s horror he was dastardly pummeled from multiple spots. The Water Chakra Armor couldn’t keep up to you fully utilizing the Kinjutsu’s instantaneous teleportation.

By the time you were done, Suien was kneeling downwards to the ground. His water chakra armor dissipating as the chakra flow was faltering. Naruto and Sasuke wear him down earlier, but it seems like you were taking full advantage of that. Suien was too infuriated to notice.

“This can’t be…. The Wondrous One has blessed me…. not you. So why…. why... WHY ARE YOU SO MUCH STRONGER THAN I!?! I HAVE THE HERO’S WATER. THE CORE FORMULA AND THE PURIST FORM OF THE SAP ONLY KEPT TO THE VILLAGE LEADER. SO WHY…WHY AM I LOSING TO YO- “

“Silence. “

“….”

“Unify…. the…. chakra. To…. make him…suffer. Break him…... crush him…. obliterate…. destroy…brutalize…. annihilate!”

As you say this, you were draining Suien of his chakra. His body compensates by accelerating the chakra recovery further. You took advantage of this to power yourself up further.

Gripping your left hand tightly, a violent spiral of chakra circulates around your hand at intense speeds. A psychotic smile quickly formed as the chakra intensifies further from all sides.

“…Die!”

“SAKURA!”

Stopping yourself from delivering the final blow, you catch the glimpse of Inner Sakura standing in front of you. You weren’t sure if this was the real deal or merely an illusion. You were sure that the determined look in Inner Sakura started to help you grasp reality. The vision fade as you soon find yourself looking at the sorry state of yourself.

Turning to look around, you see Naruto and Sasuke. Both were restraining you from the bloodbath you were about to make. Your consciousness was slowly returning as they shout at you. Slowly the words that you couldn’t hear before were now making themselves known to you.

The talk about real strength rather than relying on the hero’s water. To have the courage to act despite being weak. The dedication and will to push yourself for others. And the kindness to cherish.

These words and words start to echo inside of you. In your subconscious you were reduced to that of a child, currently surrounded in a thick black ocean of energy. An ocean filled with fog which was finally being tore down from an outside source.
>>
>>3554079

As you look up to it, you would see a version of yourself. The Sakura Haruno that your friends and mentors believed in. The Sakura Haruno who cherished the real power that Haku has showed her. The Sakura Haruno that connected with others and treasure bonds beyond all else. That Sakura Haruno offered her hand to you as she pulls you out from the blacken sea.

“…. What happened? Where am I?”

You look around, trying to find traces as Inner Sakura had previously become unstable due to your disruption of imbalanced chakra. Like a doll, she fell to the ground and became motionless. Only able to see the events that took place as with her disbursing the memories start to flood back.

“…. Naruto…. Sasuke…. Was I about to…” You hesitate to finish that sentence.

“…Thank goodness…we finally got to you.” Naruto smiles, hiding the burns from his hand trying to hold you back. Your eyes look to Sasuke who was in a similar position as your heart wavers from causing them pain. You were supposed to protect and support them. Instead all you did was cause problems and made them worry about you.

“How are you feeling?” Sasuke asks, helping you up alongside Naruto.

“…My entire body is constantly screaming in pain. And it’s taking all of my strength to regulate this new chakra into a new spot where it won’t interfere with my natural reserves. Aside from that…just peachy.” You struggle to heal both of them of their wounds while all three stare at Suien.

“Don’t suppose you can pull off whatever you did just now again right?”

“…Naruto…. I don’t even understand how I did it the first time. Even then…it was draining me of my spiritual and mental power. I wouldn’t trust it to be highly useful here.”

“Yeah…that’s what I thought.”

“Naruto, stop talking nonsense. Sakura what’s the plan. Suien suffered greatly from our assaults. But he’s still standing with the Hero water’s power. We only have one more short to take him down before he fully recovers.”

If all clones were capable of independent action in the first place, why would the QM specifically note the "Can act independently now" part after we trained said jutsu if it didn't mean something?

In a world where Genjutsu is a thing, making a clone that can probably keep you from doing anything stupid or get you out of said Genjutsu would be a useful niche.

Nobody uses clones like this though and for good reason. You have to remember Ido was a thing in the anime and killed the entire family of Yakumo as a part of her subconscious desires or that might be able to affect clone. Realistically if you are stuck in genjutsu you are most part fucked and if that clone is turned against you (genjutsu can potentially do this), you’re even more fucked. Such a jutsu would never really serve a purpose like you think it would.
>If all clones were capable of independent action in the first place, why would the QM specifically note the "Can act independently now" part after we trained said jutsu if it didn't mean something?
All clones that have been shown in the franchise could act independently. Only one that haven’t really been shown is the basic ones but those are intangible. So independent action might as well have been standard anyway.
>Words can have multiple meanings Anon, and in this conversation the Desire and Will we're talking about is clearly not synonymous.
So you mean “will” as in “will you shut up” or will as in “I have the will to win”? There are two basic definitions to “will”, there is “will” as in referring to what is going to happen and “will” as in your desire. Latter is what I’m referring to so by process of elimination you must mean the former but that doesn’t sound right.
Not like it matters, the thread is bumplocked and being on the same page, with the same information is kind of necessary for us to work together. I’m perfectly fine with debating this topic or changing the topic but no one really discusses much in this quest which is kind of sad.

“Actually....I got to tap out. I interrupted your fight and already pushed myself too hard. All I can do is recover and restore you two. To make up for hurting you.” On record time you finished healing Naruto and Sasuke.

“Don’t worry Sakura. We got this.”

“He’s a shell of his former self now. No need to go all out on him.”

You trusted in Naruto and Sasuke’s teamwork to get the job done. So there was no need for you to come up with a battle plan. Instead, you took the time to carefully mend the damage you received from the Hero Water and the Kinjutsu.

Regenerative properties or not, it was rather foolish going as long as you did in your rampage. Not to mention you have a new problem with containing and isolating your newly acquired chakra reserves. Those were problems to deal with later.

Naruto and Sasuke continued to have no trouble taking him out through a series of Taijutsu and shurikenjutsu trickery. Considering the injuries, it was a miracle Suien could still fight efficiently. Well, as effective as a mad lunatic currently could do. Yet you weren’t worried.

After all, you were part of Team Seven. Time after time again they managed to turn the tables and grasp victory from the jaws of defeat. And from the looks of it, today wasn’t going to be any different.

With a decisive blow, Suien was knocked to the ground. Still refusing to give up, Suien rises again. However, due to the over dosage of Hero Water and the constant beating, his body just couldn’t handle it anymore. Watching in horror, you saw Suien inflate and expand like a massive balloon before exploding away to parts unknown. That’s going to leave a mental scar.

Now that the threat was over, you quickly collapse to the ground. You earned a much needed nap after patch working the major injuries you endured. Your body would handle the rest as Shibuki.

“Thanks for your hard work. “Shibuki bows to all three of you, deeply showing gratitude.

“Hey you deserve all the credit just as much as us. Taking on those punks and rising up with your own power. That’s truly something special Shibuki. “You cheered on Shibuki, causing him to blush.

“You think so? Well I am the village leader now. I can’t just sit back and not be the hero that people believe in me to be.”

All of you casually laugh, even Sasuke which was a little awkward given his usual stoic behavior. You brush it off by keeping your laughing to a minimum. The strain you felt from the Kinjutsu plus the Hero water was still ever present. At least, it was to the point you could still actively do your duties while ignoring the pain.
>>
>>3554212

“Anyway, it’s time to address the other concern that I brought you here. Truthfully my time in Konoha was observing and discussing with Lord Hiruzen. There was some lingering doubts I have for doing this. But meeting with you and seeing your team in action…I’d feel truly bless if you take Fuu under your wing.”

“Fuu? Who is that?” Naruto asked with deep confusion.

“She’s a special person that I truly treasure. But due to the incident of a certain rogue Shinobi from our homeland and this ordeal, I have to admit that our village isn’t safe enough to keep Fuu protected. As village head I have to think about the safety of all of my villagers. And I deeply believe Fuu will be safe under your village care. Both physically and mentally.”

“I mean I don’t mind but are you sure about this?” You asked with mild concern.

“Yes. I want her to be around people where she can bond and grow to have friends. I can’t keep protecting her as her only friend after all.”

Shibuki quickly ushers his companion to come out from the back. Stepping from one of the back doors was a young girl. She was no different from your age. Green hair and tan skin, safe to say that she was quite the unique charm.

“Greet our guest. They’ll be taking you to Konoha like we talked about.” Shibuki smiles to Fuu, causing her to quickly rise to her feet. You get the strange feeling of déjà vu as you look at Naruto.

“My name is Fuu. Pleased to meet all of you. I’m in your care.” She bows, surprising all of you with how polite she was.

>Exchange pleasantries by offering to shake her hand.
>Ask some questions about Fuu [write in them]
>Say hello and quickly usher the gang to get ready to leave

Next deliverance from the canon story. As you probably guessed, this is the other reason why this mini-arc became mandatory. Unlike in canon, there will be chances to meet all the Jinchuriki. Though one in particular will have it the hardest...cause he's dead. Or about to reach that point.

“Hello Fuu. My name is Sakura Haruno. The raven haired boy over there is Sasuke Uchiha. And the one in the orange jumpsuit is Naruto Uzumaki. We’re pleased to meet you.” You go to offer your hand with a smile.

“Charmed I’m sure.”

“Nice to meet you Fuu. Before anyone say anything, I am not obnoxious nor loud.”

“Yes you are!” Both you and Sasuke spoke in unison, causing Fuu to laugh a bit by your comedy act.

“I hope we can be good friends.” Fuu soon goes to grab your hand.

A shocked look formed on your face upon having Fuu grab your hand. She was strong…like crazy strong. Perhaps you were looking at a rival or a little sister you never knew.

“O-Oh sorry about that. I have trouble regulating my strength.”

“Not at all. I know your burden quite well from experience.” You catch Fuu off guard by matching her herculean strength with your own.

“Woah, you weren’t kidding when you said you knew how it feels. I think I’m going to like you Big Sis Sakura.”

“W-Wait there’s another musclebound amazon in the group? One Zakura is bad enough.” Naruto panics deeply.

“Way to put your foot in your mouth.” Sasuke sighs in annoyance.

Fuu looks at the group with mild confusion while you were staring daggers at Naruto. You really did not care to be called “Musclebound Amazon” in that tone. Zakura is already pushing the line. For better or worse you didn’t have the strength to pick apart Naruto. So Sasuke had to bonk Naruto on the head for you. Shibuki politely laughs before sharing one final moment with Fuu. It was a touching scene as the two of them say goodbye. So you made sure Naruto didn’t ruin the moment.

Once goodbyes were said, the four of you start to travel out of Takigakure. Due to the soreness of your body, you were much slower than usual. Always willing to lend a helping hand, Fuu manages to carry you without problem. It was rather strange to be put on the other side of the fence. Usually it was you who had to carry the escort or a tired teammate. Oddly for you, it was a welcomed change of pace as you two start to commence small talk.

“So Fuu. You’re going to be living in Konoha right?”

“Yep that’s right. I’m joining as an exchange student from Takigakure.”

“In that case we got a lot to show you around when we get back home. More importantly, do you know where you’re going to live?”

“I think I may get an apartment to myself but I have to talk to Lord Hiruzen about it. Either way, I’m rather used to being alone.” The cheerful girl spoke, there was a hint of sadness in her words as your Ninshu training let you pick up tones easier.

>Offer to let Fuu live with you instead

Yeah they'll get along fine with her - it's just considering Naruto's complete inability to read the mood and short attention span and Sasuke's grouchiness, Sakura is the only on suited to make polite smalltalk with a complete stranger without annoying them / weirding them out in the process.

Interesting I’ll think lore ideas and stuff can also be included.
There is a criminal organization made up of almost exclusively ninja with kekkei genkai whose entire goal is to assert the superiority of those with bloodlines powers and strongly push for eugenics. This fear of this organization is what lead to the various purges of bloodlines and the oppressive system of the Hyuga clan.
It’s kind of sad Kishimoto never did anything like this. It would have fit perfectly.

Too many allegories to actual Nazis in a Shonen anime.

>>3554608
Wasn’t thinking of Nazi when I wrote that nor was I thinking that they would be genocidal. The idea was that they were mostly a bunch of individuals that are sick of the oppression that the various villages put them through and decided to band together with a more radical subset the want revenge or to produce perfect bloodline or such.The main reason I suggested this was to create an opportunity to explore the Hyuga clan more with an entire chunk of their clan having broken off long ago with various secrets.

“If you’re not sure about placement. You could always live with me and my family. We got way more space than we know to do with it. Of course I have talk to Lord Hiruzen about it. “You offered while acting casual about it.

“R-Really you mean it?!” Fuu’s eyes start to sparkle in excitement.

“I wouldn’t suggest it if I didn’t mean it.”

“Thanks Big Sis. You’re truly a lifesaver.” Fuu happily hugs you tightly with her herculean strength.

“You’re crushing my bruises…” You muttered out, feeling rather dizzy from the tight embrace.


Just like that you managed to end up with a new roommate. Sure you learned as you talked with Fuu that she shares some similarities with Naruto. A spunky tomboy that gets into trouble and always live in the moment. Despite this, you get the feeling that Fuu is still much smarter than Naruto. Her main issue seems to be being naïve, which when you live a sheltered life from the villagers it’s to be expected.

Well you were going to change all of that. When you get home and recover, you were going to show Fuu around the village and help her make lots of friends. In no time flat you were coming close to the village. The small talk you were having with Fu really made time fly by. Speaking of flying by, you catch someone hoping through tree to tree. To your surprise, it was your academy homeroom teacher Iruka.

“Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura! Surprising to meet you three here. Sorry if I can’t catch up with my former students.” Iruka exclaimed, apologizing to the three of you before showing manners to Fu.

“Hey Mr. Iruka. Is something the matter?” Naruto asked curiously.

“Big trouble actually. There was a jail break and currently the Jounins are trying to round up the escaped prisoners and keep the situation under wraps.”

“That explains why Kakashi had to return to the village in a hurry.” Sasuke ponders while keeping his arms folded.

“Okay big prison break, no big deal.”

“Naruto it’s a very big deal. The really troublesome ninjas get sent off to a special prison called Hōzuki Castle in Kusagakure. The minor ones just get sent to Konoha Correctional Facility for rehabilitation as they pay their crimes to society.” Even tired you still find some way to be Ms. Exposition.

“Sounds like it’s doing some good…. or well it was.” Fuu added her two cents, continuing to piggyback you while you look at Iruka.
>>
>>3555258

“Anyway I’m tracking one person in particular before he can leave the boarder…...Mizuki. Apparently he was the one who orchestrated the breakout. Several ninjas have escaped but the main contributor Mizuki is currently making his way to the Land of Grass.” Iruka explains.

Cold sweat best describes the shaken up feeling that Naruto was carrying. You remember that day even now where Naruto learned about his true identity as the Jinchūriki of the Kyuubi.

Although Naruto didn’t always show it, you get the feeling there was still some emotional baggage about his trust being betrayed like that. Naturally you been rectifying that, but you can only do so much


“If Mizuki is behind this, then you’re going to need all the help you can get.” Sasuke offered.

“Really it’s fine. I can handle this. I can’t exactly ask my students to come along with me on this dangerous mission.”Iruka smiled, trying to defuse the group's growing concerns.

“No way Mr. Iruka. We can’t just go back home and leave you to tackle Mizuki on your own. Who knows what lousy tricks he has in store. We’re going to back you up and there’s no way you can change our minds.” Seems like Naruto was refusing to take Iruka’s offer. Then again, this is just what you expect from the number one knucklehead ninja.

“Naruto are you sure?” You asked.

“Yeah I’ll be fine. Besides…I want to show that punk how much I grown since the last time.”

“Well I can’t convince you to go back to the village. So alright you can come along. But you’re going to have to follow my orders you got it.”

“Of course Mr. Iruka.” Sasuke and Naruto spoke in unison.

Your hair returned to normal when you dispelled the jutsu. The Takigakure medicine and treatment helped you recovered, gaining back that natural pink shine.

I'd consider the mode more akin to Gear Second + Killua's Godspeed, but Super Saiyan is a good example as well. Though I'd would've said Kaioken or Manga Super Saiyan Blue personally in terms of functions. Most of the shonen protag's super modes blend together anyway.

so it works but at extreme stress to our own body? can we train it to minimize the stress?
>>
>>3555340

Naturally like with almost any jutsu it can improve through training/practice.

As I said before, it sways between acting like the gates to a curse seal. That's due to trying to stabilize the imbalanced/raging torrent of Chakra. Chakra is both made from spiritual and physical energy.

The physical strain from speeding up the chakra flow and putting strain on the gates without opening them is self-explanatory.

For the spiritual side, it's like your psyche is being devoured from the imbalance. Hence why you went berserk over the overabundant release of chakra.

Training can better develop how you use the technique, manage the chakra flow, mitigate the downsides, increase how long you can use it, and overall improve the efficiency/give room for more versatility.

>>3555345

I'm sure there's someone clever enough to make a better comparison to explain the difference in how Lee and Guy invoke the Eight Gates to how you're achieving a similar but more controlled effect with the chakra flow.

Also since I probably didn't make it clear enough. Kakuzen is the one who killed Shibuki's father as in the novel of the waterfall village ova arc it was never stated. The village was attacked by foreign powers and Hisen was forced to use the water to defend them which caused his death. Here it's the same but that foreign power was definitely Kakuzen. Little bit of revenge and trying to capture Fuu but failed.

“You guys go on ahead and tackle Mizuki. I’ll stay behind with Fuu and lead her into Konoha safely.”

“Are you sure Sakura?” Naruto asked with rising concern. Iruka was on a similar boat but focused more on the mission at hand.

“Actually that’s not a bad idea. Sakura’s body is worn out from that overexertion of physical strength and chakra expulsion. As she is right now, she would be more of a hindrance even with Inner Sakura’s help. I rather not have her overexert herself further just to help out.” Sasuke being the voice of reason here surprises you.

“Well when you put it that way….”

“It’s fine Naruto. Sasuke is absolutely right. Besides, I got Fuu to protect me. “

“That’s right! I won’t anything bad happen to Big Sis.” Fuu flexes her arm muscles confidently.

With Fuu backing you up on the matter it seems that it was enough to convince Naruto and Iruka to leave you behind. This was a good first step in trusting your teammates rather than trying to do everything by yourself with Inner Sakura. Although it wasn't intentional, your constant babysitting was keeping Naruto and Sasuke from naturally developing teamwork on their own. So this was best for them and you.

After watching your friends leave, you went back to recovering by taking a nap. You honestly deserved some sleep and could leave the rest to Fuu. It wasn't a very long nap, but that nap was going to get a rude awakening.

Crash! You wake up to the sudden rampaging destruction of the forest area. It was rather close to you as the culprit’s figures became more noticeable.

From what you can gather it looks to be two giant figures jumping down from the trees in dramatic fashion. The force of their jump causes a massive crater to form.

Standing in front of you and Fuu were two giant man. Judging from their build they resemble that of giant heavy weight sumo wrestlers. You didn’t let your guard down given that you can easily see the thick muscles underneath their overweight build. Both men easily tower you with their giant size, but more noticeably was the dimwitted expression they constantly gave off.

The taller one has a strange dark blue ponytail as it resembles a long brush. His attire composed of green open vest, matching trouser and sandals.

The shorter brother also has a ponytail but it was spikier and much smaller. Like the other brother, he was wearing the same outfit, with the colors being purple instead of green.

>>3555365

Slip up on my end. But yes Kakuzu

>>3555366

Being the egghead, you did a lot of reading. From what you can recall, these were the Legendary Stupid Brothers. Brothers from parts unknown who demonstrate monstrous physical prowess. In exchange, they were rather....simple minded. No that's not fair to compare Naruto to them since they were MUCH dumber.

“Duuuuuuuh. Bro I think we’re lost. “Raijin the taller one exclaimed, scratching his head in confusion.

“Matters not Bro. We’re free and can get food now!” Fujin the shorter one cheered, going as far as raising his arms around in a dance.

“Big bro you’re so smart. But I think we’re forgetting something.”

“Aye little bro we are. Something about…taking out the kids to get more food from the wonderful one.”

“Ah! That’s it big bro. If we bring these kids to them, we’ll get an even bigger feast from the wonderful one.”

“Excellent little bro! Now let’s earn our keep!”

“Right Big Bro!”

Both brothers giggled to each other before getting into a stance. In unison they start to slam their fists against their chest. The act made you think of excited apes getting ready for battle. Chances are you feel that persuading them to go back to their cells and wait for food wasn’t possible. Like it or not, another fight was going to take place.

Earth Release was your friend in this fight. Between using the ground as a shield to causing tremors to throw off their balance, you were controlling flow of the fight. Controlling the battlefield gave you the advantage in setting up pathways for Fuu to use. Using those gave Fuu all the footing needed to outmaneuver the Legendary Stupid Brothers and attack them. This was your fight to win. You just needed to deliver a decisive blow to them.

Easier said than done Sakura. From keen observation, you gather that the legendary stupid brothers were quite resilient. The series of punches and kicks that Fuu manages to get off of them were indeed hitting the mark. You figured that like you she could probably put down normal fighters with a single blow with superhuman strength. So these guys were monsters in their own right to shrug off those blows so easily.

You weren’t sure if you should feel annoyed or just upset over being treated as mere inconvenience. Of which you saw the Legendary Stupid brothers slowly getting mad from their constant failed attempts. Perhaps you could out last them with these tactics. Wearing them down with Fuu’s constant punches and kicks while you play on the defensive could guarantee victory.

Unfortunately, you’re starting to get the feeling they also have the stamina to match their monstrous strength given how their heavy builds aren’t slowing them in the slightest. By no means were they actually fast especially considering how well you been timing the rising Earth walls to block and redirect attacks.


“Big bro…the ground keeps getting in our way.”

“Ah you’re right little bro. Punches don’t seem to connect. Allowing string bean over there to keep outmaneuvering us.”

“Hey! I am not a string bean.” Fuu shout out, avoiding another punch from Fujin and punching right back.

“This is making me hungry big bro.” Fujin cried, ignoring the punch from Fuu as he exclaims his growing hunger.

“You’re not along little bro. I’m getting hungry as well.” Judging from Raijin’s tone, he was getting angry.

Fujin was also getting angry, resulting in him beating his chest. Raijin soon did the same as the pupils in their eyes. You imminently took this as a bad sign.
>>
>>3555636

Fuu get back!” You raise several layers of giant slabs of rock in between her and Raijin.

Fuu naturally uses her chakra to push herself back while Raijin easily busts through the walls. A process that normally worked to slow him down was no longer practical.

This sudden increase in power was starting to get to you as you use Earth Release to make a tunnel for Fuu to dive down and avoid the next strike from Fujin. This was not looking good for both of you.

"Sakura they're getting stronger in addition to being more annoying!" Fuu shout in mild frustration.

“Our enemy has the superior strength and stamina. AND they can keep getting stronger through sheer rage? The long game is starting to look more and more likely to work in their favor than ours.” You muttered with great annoyance.

Seeing them enraged, you decide to be an opportunist. Timing your dodges with Fuu, you begin to use the Legendary Stupid Brother’s strength against them. Already they were pretty dumb, so having them enraged only made it easier to trick them. The more the two hit each other with their blows, the angrier they got. Which in turn made it easier for you to trick. It was some kind of endless loop as this went on for a while.

You weren’t sure if they were only using as much strength as they thought necessary to take both of you out in their enraged state. Or even taking pummels from themselves wasn’t enough to take them down. Either way, this was getting ridiculous for you.

It was getting harder and harder to pull off. Their strength just continues to rise and rise the angrier that they became. What truly made it worse was the fact they were starting to brute strength their way through your defenses and redirecting. Sure, you did inflict some serious damage from this hit and run tactic. Unless you could finish it with a decisive blow, they were just going to keep getting up.

Things turned to look to the worst as Fujin grabs Raijin. He begins to use his older brother like a bat. This was just bizarre, but not ineffective. The two brothers start to spin wildly, picking up great speed. Busting through the ground and knocking away your earth release techniques. The Legendary Stupid Brothers start to pick up dangerous amounts of speed. Just where were these idiots finding such ludicrous power?!?!

Without warning, the two brothers surprise you again as they start rampaging through your defenses. They were moving too fast for you to dodge in your current condition. As you went to brace yourself fro the onslaught, Fuu pushes you out of the way to take the powerful blows instead. You slide to the ground, watching in horror as the two brothers knock Fuu through the battlefield and into a massive tree.

“Fuu!” You screamed.

“I’m alright Sakura…” Fuu tries to give a thumbs up before coughing up some blood.

“We did it Big Bro!”

“Yeah! We finally landed a hit. Won’t be long until we get what we want!”

“Right Big Bro!”

The two brothers cheer in unison. The ground was shaking from their force as they only seem to get even stronger. Both Brothers soon began their counterattack, launching themselves like missiles towards Fuu. This has to end soon or else.

This was just too much to handle. Fuu was hurt and you weren’t at a hundred percent. The Legendary Stupid Brothers were no laughing matter. No wonder it needed strong ninjas like Tsunade to be able to handle these idiots. Run away! That’s the only logical thing to do.

Quickly you maneuver yourself, making another large wall to distract the two titans. The giant wall didn’t last long against their charge, but it did slow them down long enough for you to grab Fuu. With the injured Kunoichi in hand you quickly jump into the trees and run.

“Hey Big Bro they’re running away!”

“Seems that way Lil Bro!”

“If they get away we can’t get feast.”

“That’s right! No capture means no feast. And no feast equals hunger!”

“Yeah! Let’s finish this Big Bro!”
“Right Lil Bro!”

Both Brothers begin to stomp on the ground, much like how a sumo prepares for their next attack. Despite being up in the trees, you can still feel the immense shockwave of their step. Just how much power were they accumulating.

No time to think of a plan, you quickly try to out run them. An admirable but futile attempt, the Legendary stupid brothers were using their enhanced strength to throw powerful air bullets at you. Drastically limiting your options, you desperately outmaneuver the bullets.

Eventually, the air bullet tactic managed to give the brothers the chance to close the distance and come speeding at you like flying torpedoes. Quickly they manage to catch you off guard as there wasn't time to run in your condition.

Through use of Inner Sakura, you manage to pull Fuu out of the way. She was in safe hands. With a reassuring smile, you endured the Twin Stupid Brother’s double lariat strike. Blood begins to spill out in a violent cough before the sheer shock starts to take over. The twin brothers send you plummeting to the ground at ferocious speeds.

The light around you begins to fade as your vision became blurry. Inner Sakura held on despite your condition and continued to get Fuu to safety. In your distorted daze, you could barely hear Fuu screaming your name.

Blood was spilling and strength began to fade. It was useless. All of this was pointless. So why didn’t you run away when you had the chance?

Your life begins to flash before your eyes as the world around you start to get dark. Sounds of the legendary stupid brothers were getting closer. You were too out of it to really notice. All you can think about was your time at the academy. Why were you thinking about that day at a time like this?

======= Flashback =======

“Forehead Girl”

“Billboard Brow. Billboard Brow.”

“Thick like an overboard cow!”

The kids at school started to make rhymes and jokes about your apparent. Currently you were on the floor crying. Standing at the center of it was Ami. A young girl with medium length purple hair, bewitching brown eyes, and pale white skin. She was wearing her maroon dress as she stood out above the rest of the children as the Alpha lioness.

She was leader of the pack of school kids and the most popular girl in school. Well that’s only half-true considering Ino has been her longtime rival. Once again, she was taking out her frustrations with Ino on you as her and her click start picking on you.


“Maybe she’s actually an outsider or a freak.”

“Yeah, just look at her parents. Complete normal folks and they don’t have any pink hair. It’s kind of creepy isn’t it?”

“Totally! With that unnatural hair and her wide forehead, she might actually be a Yūrei!”

“That’s much worse than I came up with. My guess was a possessed sheepdog pretending to be a person.” Ami points out with a laugh. She was holding on what appears to be a cute panda bear with a scholar hat and glasses. It was your stuffed animal that she managed to rip from your hand.

The other kids surround you, keeping you pinned in formation as the bullying continues. This was nothing new since you had to endure it since day one. However, this was an all-time low for you considering that they were pushing you into a corner.

Pushed to a corner you had only one option. Sprinting as hard as you can, you made a full swing to grab the stuffed animal. Lunging yourself without care you find yourself grabbing the target. Ami looks at this with mild shock as you catch her off-guard.

Or so she made you think. From out of nowhere, Ami kneed you in the gut. Ami did it in a way that nobody would see at first glance. She wanted the high ground by making it look like you’re in the wrong. You dropped to your knees, holding both the toy and your stomach in pain after Ami subtly removed her knee.

“Oh what’s this now? Did you guys see that? This little troublemaker tried and attack me just now.”

“Yeah I saw it as well.”

“Me too”

“Of course we all saw it Lady Ami”

“Good. So in that case, I’m in my right to defend myself from being attacked right?” Ami kept a soft smile while turning to the crowd

The crowd was in complete agreement as always. You didn’t even need to guess what was about to happen next. Several of the students held you up while a couple of them stood outside to make sure that nobody could interfere.

“Of course. I’d need some help. If the rumors true, then she’s a danger to us all. And little old me can’t do this alone.”

“We’ll gladly help.” The crowd said in unison.

“Let’s get started shall we?”

Just like that you were reduced to taking a severe beating by the students. Considering your thick hide, the kids had to resort to using brass knuckles and tekko gauntlets to properly “teach” you proper manners. Ami didn’t even lift a finger, leaving her follows to do the job for her. All you could hear in between the beatings were constant mocking and laughter.

By the time it was over, you were lying on the floor in great pain. There was no blood since this was supposed to be a “child’s quarrel”. Ami slowly kneels down, grabbing your beautiful pink hair to look you directly in the eye.

“You should really quit being a ninja. You don’t belong here. And frankly your setting a bad example with your pink hair. We should really get rid of it “Subtle as a spider, Ami threatens you while keeping her image. The sounds of student coming closer begins to put you into despair and fear.

“Please…. stop….” You muttered, drawing tears from your eyes. You were reduced to on the floor crying and rolling into a protective ball.

With your strength you could’ve easily fought back. However, it wasn’t something that you once considered doing it. It was more of a curse to you than a blessing. Not even Lord Hiruzen could convince you otherwise. It was better to just take the beatings and be left alone once they got tired.

The look of fright suddenly appears on your face as Ami holds a kunai in hand.

“Just a trim here and cut there and this sheepdog’s wool is no more.”

“…N-No…. please don’t” You struggled to hold back your screams. Practically on the verge of breaking down, you start to routinely make deep breaths while crying. Ami’s kunai came closer and closer towards your eye.

“Just Kidding~ ” Closing her eyes with a smile, she slams your head against the floor. Blood starts to drip from it, showing sign that she has in fact broke your nose.

You quietly sobbed, not moving your face from the floor to hide your tears. It was all over now. Ami and her gang will leave you alone now that you’re a broken down mess. There was nothing else that needed to be done.

“I think that’s enough for today. If she doesn’t get the lesson by now, then she’s truly hopeless. That said…it would be too much of a bother if she starts to try and tattle. So I guess I got no choice.”

“Ami are you going to use that technique again?”

“Classic Ami. Always thinking ahead for the good of the academy. The Shimura Clan is lucky to have a future heir as considerate as you.”

“Hold her closely. I don’t want her wiggling out of this.” Ami’s right hand starts to glow an eerie blue shade.

The other kids start to hold you down by the arms. They look at glee at Ami about to preform actual ninjutsu on you. Your body starts to tremble, almost like this wasn’t the first time that this has been done. Creeping terror starts to bubble up inside, causing you to squirm and struggle against the other children. You turn your head enough for one eye to look at the technique coming to her.
>>
>>3556381

“Nighty night…Sakura~”

“No…no…DON’T!!”

Bright lights followed by intense screaming, you find yourself lying against the ground. Emerald eyes hollowed with lifeless colored, the memory erasure technique has done its job. Smiling to herself, Ami silently directs the gang to leave. Ami slowly walks away with the gang. With the deed done there was nothing else needed. That’s what Ami thought anyway.

Slowly you pick yourself up, sending a cold chill behind Ami’s back. Turning around to the sight, Ami now saw a bloody Sakura standing up with. Hair was flowing wildly as your face was obscured by the darkness. Gripping your fist tightly, there was just one thing driving you now. Vengeance, the violent impulses build up from a poor child forced to bottle her emotions and keep herself in check.

“...I said stop it…” You muttered quietly, slowly moving forward to Ami.

“What’s this? For a moment I thought I was dealing with a real thre-“

Without hesitation, you punched Ami through the gut with your sudden punch. Catching everyone off guard, you start to turn to the class. Before anyone could register what happened, you start to pick them off one by one. The world was moving so slow for you. Reasons for this currently escaped you but it doesn’t matter.

You spent your time fighting the class of students. At this point was a one sided slaughter with your abnormal physical prowess no longer checked. Surrounded in a world made of cardboard, instinctively you kept your strength in check as much as possible. Even with your poor control, you didn’t want to hurt anyone. That’s why you kept yourself from lifting a finger at someone.

Now things were different. You were driven by the fight or flight system. And you chose to fight. By the time Ami pulls herself from the wall, she would look to see a horrible sight. You were standing in a circle of other kids. Broken bones and deep bruises. They weren’t dead, but you certainly made them wish that they were.

“Don’t get cocky you freak. I’m Ami Shimura…. heiress to the Shimura clan. Don’t think…. don’t you dare think you can make me yield. You worthless cow!” Ami aimed her finger, forming water around it as she took aim.

Sorry if this seems a little dark. In a school with ninjas being trained for combat. It didn't exactly make a lick of sense that the worst Sakura got was typical childish bullying. This isn't regular school. Also the Shimura clan is just as important as the Sarutobi and yet it never actually matters except just to inflate Danzo's importance.

“Water Release: Water Spirt Wave”

Quickly she fires a bullet of water from her fingertips. It was a warning shot so she didn’t put her all into denting your face. It left a rather shallow cut as blood begin to drip from your forehead. Not a single flinch came from you, only setting Ami’s terror further.

In rapid session Ami starts clapping both hands together and fire ball after ball of compressed water at you. The way you moved to dodge all of them only further cements Ami’s fears. Chakra was oozing out from your body, cementing a rather terrifying presence befitting a “Yurei” as the kids called you. Before Ami realized it, you quickly close the gap between them in all those erratic dodging.

"Yield? Don't you dare think I'd let you." Before she had the chance to react, you quickly grab Ami’s hand.

“Let’s play a game?”

“A game” Ami paused, her voice was struggling to act tough.

“See I’m going to break your fingers one by one. And if you don’t scream through it all. I’ll let you go.”

“W-What makes you think that I’d pla- “You cut Ami off by snapping her left index finger. That more than enough got the point across.

“One finger down~” The soft smile only further sets off the creepy Yurei vibes you were giving.

Ami bite her lip, keeping herself from screaming outright. Through the tears Ami glared at you. You on the other hand keep your eerie smile at the sight. Seem like she didn’t need any more convincing.

“Let the game begin~”
>>
>>3556577

One by one you snap Ami’s fingers. Forcing the alpha lioness to prove her worth as a kunoichi by enduring the pain. To your surprise she kept to her word and didn’t scream through all of it. Her lip was bleeding from how hard she was biting through the entire experience. Her amber eyes fluttered, holding on through sheer will.

“Well got to say I’m impressed. The Shimura clan really do embody the will of a ninja. Guess you are someone special. Compared to this no-name freak here”

“…. Told you…I wouldn’t yield.” Ami haggardly spill out, fighting the urge to pass out from the pain. In her condition she was helpless and you already got payback for your experience.

“Suppose I should keep my promise.” You said with a bored sigh.

The look of Ami’s face quickly lids up at you letting her go as promise. In all honestly she was prepared for the worst case scenario. So this was positively shocking to her. Just exactly what you wanted. It made punching her deeply into the gut all the more satisfying. Several of Ami’s ribs were cracking as you weren’t going to kill her. But breaking bones was still on the agenda.

“…Just kidding~” There it was, the complete realization that Ami has truly made a grievous mistake.

You were merciful. So you didn’t let it sink in long enough as you punched her again. Reduced to dropping, Ami started to puke blood. Some of it lands on your face, painting a rather cold expression on your face.

That smile of validation still remained despite the overkill that you just done. But some part of you wanted more. You wanted to drill it into Ami and the other’s head that you were done taking in their shit. This whole academy can burn for all you cared. And then it hits you, there were a whole crowd of people including Iruka watching what you just did in complete shock and horror.

Hands covered in blood, the rush of adrenaline slowly disappearing as your morals were slowly coming to the surface. You begin to feel a wave of sorrow and fear overtake your body. Some started to call you a Yurei while others make mention of the second coming of Red Hot-Blooded Habanero. It didn’t take a genius to figure out just how frighten everyone was of you now.

“…I…I”

Cue Sadness and Sorrow theme here


Briefly looking at Iruka with a regretful and sad look on your face, you start to run. Before anyone could stop you, you jumped out of the window. Several of the adults start to imminently pick up the other kids and take them for treatment. With Ami being the worst off, she was taken directly to the medical corps.

Running as fast as you can, you passed through the streets and into the forest. You didn’t give any second thoughts to who you ran into. Tremendous guilt and self-loathing have already made their claim on you. This time, it was gripping at your heart tightly and it wasn’t ever letting go. With your worst fears realized, you made your way to the secret spot in the forest.

With the entrance sealed, you start to break down and cry. Why did this happen to you? Why was any of this something you have to deal with? It wasn’t your fault. You kept trying to tell yourself it was just self-defense. You were beaten up and psychologically tortured. Not that anyone would take your side in this. Deep down you knew that, but more importantly you realize that what you did was overkill.

Someone with your capabilities could’ve easily just scared the kids off without being so thorough. You could’ve pretend that you were unconscious and just leave it at that before going off to tell the teachers. There were a lot of things that someone with your smarts could have done instead. Yet here you are, currently crying your eyes out and slamming your hands against the ground till they bleed. At this point dirt would be a better substitute than having the blood others on your hands.

Sometime later you finally calm down. You decided to not to return home or go back to the academy. There was no way you could face anyone. And so you spent days if not weeks just living in your secret spot. You knew how to find food and water to survive. And with your supplies, you could endure anything nature could throw at you. It was better living the life of an outcast hermit than return to society.

Eventually on a routine trip to go fishing for food in the river, you saw him sitting on a rock. It was Hiruzen Sarutobi, the third Hokage. He had a somber look on his face. Knowing full well of what happened, you start to panic as his eyes focused upon you.

“Mind if we talk?” He smiles, patting the rock to gently tell you to join him.

It's not like we're gonna get away from the Hokage himself. But still.

Because I felt like rewriting an entire passage just to see if I could do better

Despite the overkill of it all, you were still smiling. Deep down inside you wanted more. You wanted to make sure they all knew you had enough of their shit. This whole academy could burn for all you care. Then you noticed the entire crowd that was gathered around, staring in horror at you and your actions.

With your hands covered in blood, the rush of adrenaline faded as your conscience began to reassert itself. The feeling of sorrow and fear welled up and overtook you. Whispers and gossip surrounded you making it all too clear what they thought of you, how horrible you were. You were a monster

Slowly you make your way to sitting with Lord Hiruzen. The kind old Hokage even pulls out a fishing rod for you to join him fishing. Feeling his warm comfort, you begin to explain to him what happens. Judging from the look on his face, it seems that Hiruzen already knew. He even tells you that you didn’t have to worry about the charges or being reprimanded. Still, it doesn’t make you feel any better. In fact, you felt a whole lot worse as you button your lip.

“Am I a Yurei” You stuttered, bitting your lip to hold back the tears caused by guilt and fear. Lord Hiruzen places his hand on your head, rubbing it out of comfort.

“No my child. You are not a Yurei or any kind of monster. Just a six-year-old girl who’s having trouble truly knowing herself. I’m deeply sorry you had to experience this kind of pain.”

All it took was the Third Hokage’s acceptance to finally break that wall around yourself. Gripping tightly against the Hokage, you begin to breakdown and sob into his chest. No matter how talented or frightening you are. At the core of it, you’re still a six-year-old girl. A scared, lonely and regretful little girl who vents to her imaginary friend for comfort.

“Did you know that Naruto Uzumaki, the goofball kid who does pranks for attention is actually an orphan of the late Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki.”

You shook your head at this, keeping quiet as you didn’t want to interrupt Lord Hiruzen.

“How about that Hinata Hyuuga and Sasuke Uchiha both are struggling to meet up with the tough expectations of their father? Or the fact that Choji has self-esteem issues, Shikamaru’s smarts bring him the loneliness of a genius who is incapable of experiencing the wonders of putting effort into things, Rock Lee being incapable of properly manipulating Ninjutsu and Taijutsu. I can go on and describe every problem from every student in the academy. But I think you’re starting to get my point.”

“…Yes. Everyone in the academy has their own problems and I’m not the only one suffering.” You sniffled, making sure not to dirty up his clothing any further.
>>
>>3556738

“Very good. Each and every person in the leaf I treat as my children. I take it upon my interest to know the problems that everyone has and try my best as Hokage to help them out. It’s a foolish ambition since I can’t save everyone. It still doesn’t stop me from wanting to lend a helping hand to those who need it. Like right now.”

You look up to Hiruzen, tears still in your eyes as he continues to smile upon you. He soon set you down to then look at you face to face. Slowly he wipes your tears and straighten out your messy hair.

“Sakura. I know it must be frustrating having such monstrous physical capabilities lying dormant within. You keep your emotions in check to better restrain these gifts of yours. One little outburst and you find yourself breaking everything around you. That’s why I suggested going to the academy. To learn to control your gifts and put them to good use rather than hiding out in complete solitude to drown in self-loathing and loneliness. “

We're getting back to the main plot after this. Felt like the perfect time to fill in the blank as to what terrible thing you did in the academy and bring more character development.

As well as show off the good Professor so if he dies, it only impacts you more.

Might as well have him teach us before he kicks the bucket and have an excuse for introducing Tenten like we said we would.
Honestly I’d rather we have him as a teacher so his death hits us on a more personal level. Great potential for character development.

We are all disappoint by how Naruto went. Honestly if Kishimoto liked Togashi’s work so much he should have pushed for adding more potential conflict (seriously Togashi even said one of his favorite things is seeing enemies of the main characters duke it out) and put more work into worldbuilding. Naruto’s world and power system were in need of more development but that development never happened.

“Why don’t you teach me instead. You’re the professor after all. Nobody in this village can better prepare me better than you. So we can do that instead and I don’t have to go back to the academy.”

“Suppose I can do that. However.…would that really take care of the root of the problem? “

You blink in confusion to the Third Hokage’s wise words. Logically you can see what he was getting at given how smart and bright you are. At the same time, you didn’t want to admit it. All the smartness in the world couldn’t change the fact that you’re still a kid. A scared, sad little child who wants friends. Crouching down to your legs, you curled up in a ball gazing at the river.

“I’m scared Lord Hiruzen. I’m scared of things ending up like this again. In that point of desperation and fear. I felt a switch going off. Everything was red and I was filled with intense violent impulses. All I wanted to do was to lash out and get retribution. I was tired of holding back, of being ostracized for things I can’t control, being mocked just for being an outsider. I don’t think I’m cut out to be a ninja. I’m a civilian that ended up being born with monstrous strength. Nobody wants to be near someone who can break them so easily without meaning to. It’s better if I never be near anyone ever again! “

There was intense fear and terror creaking in your voice. Driven to the point of shaking, you made it apparent of the fears and worries that you carry to Lord Hiruzen. Being compared to a Yurei really has gotten to you. Hiruzen dispels such terrors merely by placing his hand on your back. He gave you the warmest smile as he begins to tackle the source of the problem.

“Listen Sakura, if you keep on like this, you’ll be all alone. I know just how kind and sweet you are. You can show that to others, you’ll be able to reconnect with people and use your strength for others. I know you’ll become a beloved kunoichi who’s surrounded with lots of friends. While it’s true your strength can be seen as a curse. But it can also be a blessing in disguise.”

“What do you mean…. How can I exactly be like that?

“By continuing to be a kind and sweet girl. You don’t have to hide yourself or keep those emotions bottled up. Someday I truly believe you’ll find people who can understand you and you be able to connect with others. You’re far blessed than what others think you are. You can comprehend what true strength is, you felt the frustration and pain of being weak. And you experienced what loneliness is. That’s why I know you’ll overcome this. “

Slowly you pull your head up to look at Hiruzen Sarutobi. His genuine words have indeed resonated with your fragile heart. Like a loving grandfather to their grandchild, you felt secure being around him. It didn’t make you speak up, but you were still beginning to open up to Hiruzen’s proposal.
>>
>>3557606

“Just think it over Sakura. Even if you choose not to go to the academy, don’t let yourself continue this life of loneliness and self-hatred. Love yourself and embrace the world around you. The world is boundless and filled with many wonderful things. Compared to such vastness, this man’s existence is very insignificant. No one man can ever compete with it. Instead, we should continue to support one another through the tough times and strive for a new tomorrow. People make countless mistakes; nobody is the exception. It’s what you do afterwards that truly defines a person.”

“Even if I did want to…. I don’t think I can go back to the academy after that.”

“You won’t really know until you try. Your innocence has been proven but the only one who can truly convince people to change their mind is you. By showing them through your actions, I know you’ll be able to bloom into the beautiful kunoichi I know you’ll become. Coming from a civilian family gives you a new perspective that nobody else has. A bridge to connect the two worlds and bring new possibilities not yet considered. I want to put my faith in such a wild card.”

Gently Hiruzen places his hand on your right shoulder, you meet his eyes with curiosity and hope. If Hiruzen Sarutobi has so much faith and respect for you, then why couldn’t you do the same for yourself? Before long you quickly found yourself surrounded with fish as far as the eye can see. Hiruzen was preparing a fire as the sky was turning black. You look up to see the night stars all in align. Further cementing the vastness and wonders of the world to you.

“You should go back home at least to think it over. Your parents are worried sick about you. If you can at least do that. I’ll teach you everything I know in time. While I still want you to try again, I won’t force you to go back. Just consider all your possibilities before deciding. I don’t want the door to a bright future to close in front of you without even getting the chance to look at it. “

With the fire done, Hiruzen beacon you to come join him as he cooks the fish. Slowly you get up from the rock and make your way to the old man. Bit by bit you were getting better. Having somebody else to talk to was making it easier to recover. Inner Sakura can only do so much for you.

“Now come and sit with me. I’ll tell you the story of a Kunoichi who was just like you. The Story of Kushina Uzumaki.”

===== Present Time ======


The memories came flooding back to you as you endure the Legendary Stupid Brother’s assault. What was suppressed from your subconscious and tampered with through Ami’s trickery came flooding back.

It was all becoming so clear to you now. Strength begins to flow into you as you reflect to the times spent learning and hanging out with Lord Hiruzen. Your first meeting with Ino. Slowly repairing your image back at the academy. The first time you met Naruto Uzumaki and all of your friends.

You couldn’t help but smile through the pain. Seem the Third Hokage was right all along. You did know what true strength is all along. Before Raijin and Fujin could lay another finger on you, a blond woman with very long hair stood in their way. She didn't flinch as her hands were in a special formation.

Both Raijin and Fujin were suddenly frozen in place despite their punches came inches away from hitting her. Arriving to the scene were some familiar faces. A black haired man with a lazy expression, and a big brown haired man with a kind yet serious look on his face.

“You look like you’re in quite the mess Sakura. Never thought I’d see the day where you’d need my help again” A familiar voice rings to your head.

“What a drag. And we just got back from finishing a mission too. Guess it can’t be helped, don’t want my childhood friend to flatten like a pancake.”

“Pancakes sound good to have for a celebratory return. For now, let’s take care of these morons.”

“Alright Team 10. Let’s show them the unbeatable Ino-Shika-Cho formation.Let's show them what happens when they make my cute little bud cry.” Ino commands with a confident smile.

“Right!” Shikamaru and Choji said in unison.

>Join Ino side by side and work with Team 10

Deciding it would be your best interest to go to Fuu, you decide to leave the Legendary Stupid Brothers to Team Ten. After all, with how much hit and run tactics you and Fuu been doing, even those knuckle heads probably were losing steam. As you made it to Fuu, you notice that she had passed out from the pain. Her life wasn’t in any danger, but you still focused your remaining strength on healing Fuu.

Despite focusing on healing Fu, your eyes still dart over to Team Ten. The team that always looked so unprofessional was working like a tight-knit machine. Not only were they holding their own against the Legendary Stupid brothers, but they were actually winning. You had the excuse of being damaged from the Hero Water. And yet there was a hint of jealousy and disappointment with yourself at seeing the perfect teamwork that Team Ten was pulling off.

Choji using his Multi-Size Technique was matching Fujin and Raijin in power. The brothers were having a hard time holding Choji back as clever usage of growing and shrinking made him able to dodge their attacks. While giving him the opportunity to deliver powerful blows himself without exposing himself or losing any speed.

Shikamaru was also playing quite the part in helping Choji counteract the Legendary Stupid Brother’s movements. With the Shadow Imitation Jutsu, their movements were becoming more rigid and restrictive. Most effectively, Shinkamaru linked their shadows with Choji’s allowing the giant to better mimic their moves and counter them accordingly.

What draws your attention the most was Ino. Not only was she directing Choji and Shikamaru like a proper leader. Yet it was how accurate and precise her orders were that caught you off guard. Almost as if she knew what the Legendary Stupid brothers were going to do before they even did. Of course they weren’t hard to read, it didn’t change the effective that her support made Choji and Shikamaru’s display and trickery that much more effective.

Once weakened enough, Ino finishes the job with her Mind Body Disturbance to have the Legendary Brothers knock themselves out. For added insurance, Choji went and expand his arms to grab them and hold them out in place. The two brothers were unconscious from the well timed attacks to the noggin.

“There. I got them guys. Even if they have resilient bodies, it won’t do them good in their current state.”

“Finally. I can undo the Shadow Imitation Jutsu now. These morons were obnoxiously strong; I wasn’t sure if I could keep holding them as well as I was.”

“Good work you two. It’s a good thing that they were already worn down before. Otherwise, it would’ve taken a lot longer and more strain on our part for that to work. Now let’s take them to the holding cell and celebrate.”

>Thank Ino for the assist and apologize

And that's why their specialized skills are so much better/more focused compared to your Jack of all trades. Not that you're weak or bad because of it. They commit to their specialty and improve it as much as they can while applying other applications that can best help support them and /mitigate their weaknesses.

Jack of all trades has its uses too. More adaptive to the battle field, and can easily slot in on a newly made team. Those who are too specialised run the risk of coming up against someone who is perfectly fit to counter them and then they're stuck.

Both have their pros and cons.
>>
>>3557731

That's why I said it's not weak or bad, just in their focused field they were able to better execute the plan you and Fuu tried to earlier.

That said, it would help if you and Fuu were more coordinate AND didn't fuck yourselves over with the hero water. And lots even begin to mention Naruto and Sasuke.

>>3557702

“Thanks for the save Ino. I don’t know what would’ve happened if you didn’t come to my rescue.”

“No problem Sakura. Happy to help my BFF. Besides, you held out pretty well despite your injuries. I know if you were at a hundred percent you’d probably clobber those morons.”

“…Yeah…. I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be sorry Sakura. Those Stupid brothers are said to rival Tsunade in strength. A feat that only can be done through sheer anger. A double-sided sword since they become too angry and stupid to really capitalize on such ferocious power. Then there’s the fact generating that much strength in a quick time-frame drains them far quicker. “

“But-“

“Instead of being a Debbie Downer. Why not watch these memories instead?” Ino smiles, tapping your wide forehead with her index and middle finger.

Judging how casual Ino was with transferring memories to you, this was one of the Yamanaka clan techniques.

Unlike with Ami this was far more gentle and receptive to your mental state. The possibility of erasing or manipulating your memories was still there. Thankfully, you could firmly believe in your best friend to never do something so horrible to you.

Through the memories you caught the replay of Naruto and Sasuke’s fight with Mizuki. Seem like they didn’t have it easy, especially with how powerful Mizuki has gotten. His physical attributes were off the charts and that strange blueprint on his arm seem to be the cause of it.

Seeing Mizuki transform into a tiger was the last thing you’d expected. Luckily Iruka with Naruto and Sasuke’s help was able to trick and defeat Mizuki.

A combination of Fire and Wind techniques to wear him down before trapping him in the barrier. Although they won, Sasuke was feeling rather frustrated for some reason. Seem like you’re not the only one who is feeling insecure right now.

When you looked back to the memory, you notice something strange was happening to Mizuki. He was possessed by some special force that broke the barrier and allowed him to seemingly disappear.

You weren’t sure about what happened so you kept it to yourself. Shikamaru and Ino then explained that from what they can gather that weird blueprint contain the formula for ingredients found in the Nara Clan’s laboratory.

It didn’t take a rocket scientist to realize how upset Shikamaru was about it. Someone was using the Nara Clan’s secrets to produce something so dastardly and spreading it to others. You didn’t have a name but so far the only one who fits was The Wondrous one. Between this and the Hero water incident, it was the only possibility that makes sense to you.
>>
>>3557801

Eventually you make your way to the Hokage Mansion. You wave goodbye to Ino and her team as they took the stupid brothers to their cell. That just leave you to knock on the door while carrying Fuu.

"Ah Sakura! Long time no see. I was expecting you to come back to the village but I didn't suspect you to be coming to me directly."

We know that he already knows, but might as well get advice on how to deal with this while Fuu is K.O.
Also that Wondrous One is definitely someone to look out for, especially if they were involved with the breakout of multiple enemy Shinobi.

But finally

"There were a few reasons I went to you directly, outside of asking if Fuu could stay at my house." As you say this, you walk inside Hiruzen’s home and set Fuu on one of the couches before going to talk somewhere private.

“Alright Sakura, I’m listening. Before you start, I want to say that I have no problem with Fuu living in your house. We’ll even send you money to accommodate your new guest. It’ll probably even do her some good to have someone she can relate to while being in a new location far from home. But you should know that she is the Jinchuuriki of the Nanabi. “

“She’s a Jinchuuriki like Naruto?! Well that does explain why Shibuki wanted us to guard Fuu so extensively when bringing her to Konoha.” You kept yourself from waking up Fuu, but there was a deep look of shock upon hearing the news.

“Yes. Due to the unfortunate events that happened to Takigakure, we came to an agreement that it’s no longer safe to have Fuu stay in Takigakure. We know the assailant is an S-Rank who has said to have fought Hashirama Senju. The previous Takigakure leader lost his life trying to drive away said assailant from causing any more damage. Most assume that he did it for revenge, but we can’t put the possibility that Fuu may be a target. Hence why we decided to take her in to protect her and our allied village. “

The puzzle was slowly coming together to you as you listen to Lord Hiruzen’s explanation. You then confirm Hiruzen’s suspicion once he gave you the okay to debrief him.

You told him the entire events of both the Takigakure attack and the Mizuki breakout, believing them to be connected to the “Wondrous One” Hiruzen gave a stern look while stroking his chin. There was expectation that Hiruzen may know more about this than you first thought.

“This does solidify my hypothesis that someone is working in the shadows contributing to these events. The way they appeared simultaneously is more than mere coincidence. I’ll have my men look into it. Danzo might know something about this as well.”

“Lord Hiruzen. There’s…one more thing I need to address.”

“Don’t fret Sakura. Whatever it is, I don’t think of any less of you.”

“Well…” You went and gone to explain about having several jutsus from the scroll of sealing inside your head. Naturally you mention that you been trying desperately to keep it under wraps.

Being honest with yourself, you mention that you have been practicing using Shinra Banshou in order to protect your team. And have considered teaching Tenten flying thunder god on a similar principle.

Expecting to get chewed out and lectured, you brace yourself for the worst. Just like with your mother. Hiruzen on the other hand merely places his right hand on your shoulder. He kept a warm smile as his gaze met with yours.
>>
>>3558121

“Sakura I am very proud of you for coming forward. As you gathered I had already known about your involvement with the scroll of sealing incident. Given your excellent memory, I did consider the possibility if you were to look at the scroll it’d remain in the depths of your mind. Even my signature technique Shinra Banshou. But I didn’t say anything since you were keeping a good secret. That and I had faith you would come and tell me this secret when you are ready. Just like how you went back to the academy. You really are a pure and honest girl.”

“Busted. In my defense I wasn’t trying to look at it when I went to confront Narut-Wait a second! Shinra Banshou is your signature technique ?!?!” It was getting harder to contain your shock and disbelief with each shocking reveal.

“That’s right. I’m the one who invented the Shinra Banshou technique in my youth. In order to try and follow the man that I admire and called my teacher alongside his brother, I tried inventing a technique to try and recapture Hashirama’s legendary wood release. It also partially led to my path of being the professor, knowing every single jutsu in Konoha, including the Hiden. “

“W-Wow. To think I’m using the same jutsu as you personally. I don’t know what to say except I’m sorry!” You bowed to Hiruzen to show your respect and embarrassment.

“It’s fine. The elderly is usually supposed to past down secrets and skills for the next generation. Out of the jutsus you could have learned. I’m glad it was that one. Anyway, to reward your honesty I’ll tell you a secret of mine. See this crystal ball? “Hiruzen points to the device on the table.

“Yes I do Lord Hiruzen.” You look with curiosity as an image starts to appear on the crystal ball. It was the entire leaf village. Bewildered by this, you start to asks Hiruzen how he was doing this.

“It serves as the medium for my Telescope Technique. An advance sensing ninjutsu that through the use of chakra signatures I know allows me to see their current activates regardless of distance or physical obstructions. “

At first you were amazed by this. You knew sensing techniques could cover a lot of things in terms of perception. Yet you never thought it could be used like this. The more you thought about it, the more paranoia starts to creep behind you.

"So wait. Does this mean you're watching us at every waking moment? Is that's why I also felt like someone was watching me!" You flustered with worry and embarrassment.

“Sakura who do you take me for. I may keep an eye on my villagers to keep public order. But I would never stoop to something as low as invading a person’s privacy. Let alone such acts as peeping. “

“I’m sorry for having some doubts. It’s just Naruto told me he managed to get you with his Sexy Jutsu. A jutsu by the way I disapprove.”

“I never said I was without any vice. I just have too much respect and common sense for my villagers.”
>>
>>3558136
>Even my signature technique Shinra Banshou
Wut? He uses it?
>>
>>3558136

That seems to be enough to convince you of any doubt and worry. Though, in the back of your head you find it really hard to believe even now that Naruto managed to get to him with such a juvenile jutsu. Even now it gets your blood boiling thinking about how he first shown you the technique.

“I’m not surprised that Naruto has inherited Kushina’s talents. Between her unique ninjutsu to her transformation skills, she was a highly efficient Kunoichi. Did I mention that Kushina was very good with the transformation technique? Like, immensely good. Honestly she could rival Tsunade’s transformation skills and signature Rejuvenation Jutsu. “

“So Kushina was great at Transformation jutsu in addition to Shape Manipulation, Hair Ninjutsu and Elemental Nintaijutsu alongside her freakish physical prowess and Uzumaki related attributes. With the story you told me about her when I was young, I get the strange feeling you’re disappointed in Naruto’s usage of his great potential. Am I right?”

“Yes, seeing him use his talents and shadow clones for juvenile pranks and unpredictable antics is a bit upsetting. But Kushina was also a prankster. So I’m not as disappointed as I should be with him. He’s still a twelve-year-old boy.”

“That may be. But it’s still frustrating dealing with someone who has all these highly versatile jutsus. And the first thing he thinks of using them is to do stupid stuff. I’m already envious with his chakra levels!”

“Fret not Sakura. Sooner or later Naruto will grow up and become a fine shinobi. Especially with you reeling over him. And you have your own talents. That said, I can seal up your memories of the scroll from your mind if you prefer to no longer be troubled by the truth. “

The actual filler had the ninja who used it actually replicate several Hiden techniques. And while I'll probably won't do that filler arc, it makes better sense story wise to have the jutsu that can best replicate the first Hokage's wood style in some form among other tricks to the Professor/Second Coming of the God of Shinobi.

Unfortunately, he's far too old to properly use it like he used to in his youth.

You shake your head in response. Honestly you had more than enough memory manipulation experiences for a lifetime. “Nu-uh. I think I’ll keep these memories and just deal. Instead, just give me a proper punishment.”

“You’ve matured Sakura.” Hiruzen smiles, patting your head as you smile.

“I just finally understood the true meaning of that talk at the river. I don’t want to run from my mistakes. Instead, I’ll face them head on and grab tomorrow.”

Quickly you kneel down to your knees to properly bow to Hiruzen. Here lies the man who been taking care of you since early childhood. He served as your only connection to the ninja world before you eventually started to make bonds with countless people. You owed everything to Hiruzen Sarutobi and his kind heart. So you made sure that you were eternally grateful to him.

“I want to thank you. For everything you’d done for me. I’m…really happy that you never gave up on me.”

“I’m glad that I didn’t either.”

After having that touching moment, you convince Hiruzen to seek an audience with Tenten. You thought it was too much trouble to have him teach you with his busy schedule. Yet you were adamant in having Tenten learn from him about the monkey summons and what she should do. He agreed but also surprises you by promising to teach you the secrets of Shinra Banshou once the time was right. Turning him down would be disrespectful so you happily accept.

“Alright in that case. As punishment, you have to help out with my duties and support me as best you can.”

“Understood Lord Hiruzen.” You showed your respect while bowing.

“You can start by cleaning Naruto's apartment."

"GOD NO! ANYTHING BUT THAT! SEND ME TO PRISON, EXILE ME FOR A WHILE, ANYTHING ELSE!”

This was going to be a long night for you.

You absorbed the chakra of 4 ninja who drank the hero's water. It's taking a lot longer before it's fully safe to use.

There were nine days until the next mission. Actually you had more days, but you spent the next three days just sleeping. Pure willpower was moving through you all this time. Something that you need to harness more when working around your natural limitations. To draw out more power when you felt like you couldn’t do no more. That has been one of your main goals.

Sure, there was this new cesspool of chakra buried within you. As you soon come to realize, tapping into that chakra drastically messed with your near perfect chakra control. There was just too much for you to balance and finely control. That and that event made you hesitant to use it out of fear of turning into “that” again.

You need to give your body time to properly adjust to it before you can truly call it out. Which you didn’t know how long it’d take, not that you were complaining since it’s a miracle you’re not dead. Rather than complain, you come to realize your recovery rate skyrocketed. In addition to recovering and regenerating faster and stronger, even your modestly average chakra reserves replenished themselves far faster than average.

Seems like almost dying to the Hero Water overdose and chakra absorbing was good after all. As you finally awaken from your long slumber. The first thing you did was head to the kitchen and eat three days’ worth of food. Just because you can recover chakra faster didn’t mean you didn’t need to naturally refill your tank. Especially when your body pushed itself to fully repair the damages done to your chakra pathway system.

“Morning Big Sis Sakura.” Fuu walked inside, from the looks of it she had just taken a shower. It did your heart good that your parents have been taking good care of your new roommate.

“Morning” You muffled, going back at it as you think about what you were going to tackle the day. It was… cleanup day after all.

Once you finished refilling your tank, you start to discuss your plans for Fuu. The happy go lucky girl was bouncing from the edge of her seat at the activity. You couldn’t help but smile at her. It was like having the little sister you never had. If only you didn’t have to clean up Naruto’s apartment today. Without further ado, you prepared yourself for your mission.

If you were going to do this, then you might as well look the part. That’s what you told yourself while looking at your maid attire. You went for a rather tasteful version with its long black sleeves, ankle length dress and white apron. Mentally you thought to yourself how this was adding fuel to the fire for Naruto to tease you over. A ninja must use deception to defeat their enemy.

What better way to ensure Naruto’s fate than using something as distracting as this? With a simple one handed hand sign, you manifest Inner Sakura in fitting casual clothing.

Without saying a word to each other, both of you begin to take different directions. Inner Sakura head off to start showing Fuu around the village. Meanwhile, you head outside and used Body Flicker to disappear from sight.

By the time you became visible you have arrived at Naruto’s apartment. Luck for you nobody managed to see you dressed like this. The last thing you wanted was to invite teasing from your former classmates.

Slowly you knock at the door, waiting for Naruto to respond. The door suddenly creaks to reveal Naruto’s tired face. He quietly stares at you while you start him. Silence was soon replaced with laughter once Naruto realized the situation.

“Ahahahaha I can’t believe it! You’re actually dressed up like one of those fancy housemaids I saw on television. It’s like having my own housekeeping. This is too much.”

Naruto continued to laugh, completely unaware of the strands of hair slithering towards him from behind. In one fell swoop, you render Naruto completely helpless in your luscious pink locks.

Several of your extended hair start to extend till they were just inches from touching his face. His face turned from laughter to complete fright as you walk right in. A frightening face that only a Yurei could make creeps up on your complexion.

“Listen up. This is a part of my punishment for reading the Scroll of Sealing. I can live with that. I’m just going to also use this to teach you a valuable lesson in cleaning. Nod once if you understand.”

Naruto frantically nods. You get the feeling if he could speak he be calling it Zakura 3 The Resurgence. Unfortunately for Naruto, you weren’t in the mood for jokes.

Pigsty would be insulting the pigs out back. Just how exactly could Naruto live like this?!?! Half eating ramen bowls on the floor, expired milk to the right, trash bags everywhere. To list all the grievances of filth would make you have an aneurism out of sheer stupidity and rage. Okay sure he at least kept to eating a healthy diet, but ramen still dominated the entire thing.

His used clothing was lying around on the floor. Worst of all, you thought you saw something moving in the distance. Pity doesn’t cover just how much shame you must feel for Tenzo, Kakashi and Hiruzen when do their checkups on Naruto. Heck even Jiraiya was looking like someone you’d pity for having to deal with something like this.

Naruto didn’t even need to look at you to get just how pissed off you were currently feeling. Aura was just oozing out from your body, multiple stress veins bulging out on your wide forehead. Taking a branchy shape that best contributes to demonstrating your anger. Even Inner Sakura had to take a brief moment to keep herself from feeling that intense anger.

“Naruto…. Even Buddha will only forgive you once. Insult him three times and you’ll invoke his wraith. This is the second time.” You voice almost distorts from sheer rage.

Naruto didn’t have any witty remarks to say. No he was absolutely sure if he sneezes that would be the third. He didn’t want to think about what’d you do next. Although it wasn’t intentional, but you were really selling that Yurei stigmata right now. This was cruel and unusual punishment for you.

No matter where you went it was all the same. Dishes stacked on his sink, books scattered everywhere, more trash bags, it was positively infuriating. Orphan or not, there was no excuse especially when you have been to Sasuke’s house to cook him food. He kept his entire place squeaky clean. Before your hair turns white out of sheer anger, you decide to get started after lecturing Naruto.

First thing first came the laundry. By pulling out some gloves, you start to pick up all of Naruto’s clothing. A twelve-year-old girl shouldn’t have to be picking up a boy’s boxers. As you lament throughout, you gathered every single article of clothing in the house. Quickly making your way to the laundry machine, you see both a laundry machine and a dryer. And yet Naruto was hanging his clothing out to dry.

You weren’t sure if he didn’t know how to use it…. or he ran out of supplies and was doing things the old fashion way. Once you checked that it was the latter, you just gave Naruto the most disgusted look on your face. He shriveled in your hair, there was no excuse.
>>
>>3560003

“If only I had the chakra to freely spam Shadow Clones. Then even with Inner Sakura being out, I can just get one to go to the store and get me some laundry supplies.”

With a mental sigh, you start to set the clothing into the back. For now, you would use your own cleaning supplies to start to tackle. Deciding to start with the fridge, you open it up to see what was inside. To nobody’s surprise there was stains and muck around.

At your left you catch the sight of something truly disturbing for you. It was a black, sponge like substance that you can only gather was mold. It jiggles a bit, almost like it was alive.

Quickly you turn pale at the sight, gripping your hand tightly as more blood veins bulge out. It was taking every ounce of strength to not strangle Naruto to unconsciousness with how riled up your hair was.

Are you fucking kidding me?!?! By the end of the day you were going to drill it into Naruto the importance of high maintenance. Just so you’d never have to experience something like this again.

Making your way to the oven, you check to see that it was also filthy and filled with dust. Naruto knows how to cook; after all you were the one who taught him how. And yet it was driving you crazy just how lazy he could be.

Talk no Jutsu = Ninshu. Giving bit of an info dump for more lore building.

Rage continue to swell up inside of you. More and more it was getting harder to stay focus. For a brief second, your hair started to turn white. The imbalance of spiritual energy was letting the excess chakra you accumulated start to flow through. Quickly you catch on to this upon seeing your golden eyes. Stay calm. Don’t lose yourself to your anger. Become tranquil and remember your Ninshu training.

Deep breathes start to come from within. Through the memories of your experience with the Ninsou, you begin to quell your rage into tranquility. The ability to channel emotion into clarity and serenity is a rare talent. Something that you were beginning to understand.

Having a serene state of mind was necessary to preform many of the Ninsou’s techniques, including Ninshu. Although you have yet to mastered this, your daily Ninshu training was gradually making it easier.

One of the teachings you learned from the Ninsou was Qigong. A holistic system of coordinated body posture and movement, breathing, and meditation used for the purposes of health, spirituality, and martial arts training.

Perfect for balancing not only one’s chakra and improving the overall flow, but also centering oneself. Balancing the dual natures of a person was essential to keep one from losing focus and opening themselves to become more understanding.

This was especially necessary in practicing Ninshu. The Ninsou taught you that Ninshu has the power to understand and communicate with others without words. Similar to the Yamanaka clan and their many mental related abilities, Ninshu allowed for complete communication and synchronization with those around you. A practice that was established by the Sage of the Six Paths, the creator of Ninshu.

To have the skills capable of using Ninsou, one must be able to willingly allow themselves to open up without any resistance. The complete understanding of presence in absence.

By linking with another’s chakra, Ninshu can let you communicate and interact within a special realm in the soul. High ranking ninja subconsciously preform some form of Ninsou. Be it to read the intent and actions of others and predict their next action or use their own presence to influence the mental state of others.

Ninsou is to go a step beyond such barbaric methods. Because it is true communication and understanding, there is also a risk to using Ninsou carelessly. Without a strong will and trained mind, one can be influenced by the other’s thoughts and heart.

At worst it can lead to one being corrupted, while others would merely become distracted and lost in these strong feelings/thoughts. So to strengthen the mind and spirit, many of the ninja monks practice Qigong precisely to center themselves. For you, this was perfect in balancing your own duality and inner turmoil.

As you begin to relax and become tranquil, your hair fully returns to normal and your eyes as well. Naruto couldn’t really see this given how he was previously restrained. It didn’t stop him from thinking that he really made you mad. Undoing the bindings that held Naruto in place, the hair gently sets him down to the ground.

“Naruto. I want you to go grab these things from the store.” You write down a list of supplies to tackle the growing concern.

“Right I’ll get right on it.” Naruto takes the list and heads off in a flash, not willing to give you any back talk.

A side effect from your long daily Qigong practices is your incredible lung capacity. With the use of chakra, it’s simple for one to enhance and augment the body in many ways. It is also not unheard of for swimmers to practice breathing to enhance lung capacity. Poison makers have also done training to avoid whiffing their own toxins.

For you who already has the well trained body and innate ability, the Qigong practices only furthered these capabilities. On your own, you’d say you could hold your breath to about fifteen to twenty minutes. With chakra enhancement and circulation, it was probably much longer than that. How much you weren’t sure, might want to check on that later.

After stepping outside, you begin to fill your lungs with deep, refreshing clean oxygen. Once you had your fill did you dive back into Naruto’s apartment.

Practically treating it like a bio-hazard, you start removing any trace of dangerous substances and contaminated materials safely. Again, this wasn’t what a twelve-year-old girl should be expected to do.

For added insurance, you enwrap yourself around a thin cloak of chakra. The last thing you wanted was to test to see if your regenerative and recovery powers can tackle actual diseases or not. Curiosity can only do so much before common sense keeps you in check. With your preparations it was like having a hazama suit. Never before you were glad to be taught ninja skills quite like right now.

With Naruto gone there was nobody to interrupt you. Therefore, you took the necessary steps to remove all possible bio-hazards and other threats out of his apartment. Clearly the Kyuubi must of gave him some protection or it was his half-Uzumaki dna that let him shrug these off so easily. Either way there was going to be a long talk about the importance of hygiene and proper cleaning.

Despite your time limit you still manage to be very thorough in removal and cleaning. You even resorted to using Shinra Banshou to partially merge with the floor and walls. All for checking any other issues and remove them accordingly. If nothing else, nobody can deny your efficacy and competence. Competence that ultimately pushed your lung capacity to their limits in your efforts to clean Naruto’s apartment.

Rushing out to a window you take deep sigh of relief. The mold threat was taken care of. So you were enjoying taking a breather before getting back to the cleaning. You still held another deep breath due to Naruto’s dirty clothing. How could anyone live like this?!? As you think about avoiding the stench, you went to cleaning the bathroom. You’re really thankful at how long you can hold your breath.

Thanks to the cleaning supplies you brought with you it was a breeze cleaning the bathroom. From washing the bath tub to actual plumbing, you weren’t ever going to let Naruto live this down. Even with gloves and chakra coating you felt like it was crawling into your skin. No amount of bathing will make you feel clean after you finish cleaning Naruto’s apartment.

Now with the hardest part of the job done, it was time to recover. Casually you start opening up all the windows and doors before stepping out. The apartment really needed to be aired out before you were willing to continue with the cleanup. It would also do you some good to recover. Ninshu training can only do so much for the mind.

You decide to take a long break after that exhausting decontamination sequence. It’ll also give the apartment enough time to air out. Stressing out your lungs with extensive breath holding feats will only lead to unwanted backlash. So you spent your time being grateful to the fresh air.

Wind Release probably would’ve made airing out the house a whole lot quicker. The more you thought about it, the more it became clear that you shouldn’t leave such a delicate thing to Naruto. His chakra control could still use some serious work. He can use Wind Release technique, but to clean out a house without making a mess require a finer touch than the brute force method.

During your break you decide to check up on Inner Sakura’s progress. It seems she and Fuu were having a really fun time hanging out and exploring Konoha together. Receiving information about Inner Sakura’s day made you rather happy but also jealous.

Here you are currently cleaning an idiot’s house while Inner Sakura was enjoying herself with Fuu. You curse your honest nature dragging you into this. Of course it didn’t take long for you to realize it was better that you did the hard work personally. Independent clones while efficient are still based on your personality.

If you didn’t want to do this, what makes you think the clone wouldn’t be the same? Self-sufficient or not, they’re still you. You start wondering if Naruto ever thinks about stuff like this when using his Shadow Clones. Inner Sakura was more efficient as you went for quality over quantity.

And yet, you couldn’t deny all the versatility and benefits of having your own army. It wasn’t long until you were lost in thought about the philosophical implications with Naruto’s Shadow clones. Including the possibility of Naruto using them to hide his own loneliness.

Out from nowhere Naruto suddenly arrives back to the house. He alerted you by quickly busting the door open in dramatic fashion. Completely catching you off guard, you almost jumped from the balcony. You keep yourself turned from him and just chant your Ninshu mantra to help calm your nerves.

“Hey Sakura I got all the cleaning supplies you wanted. Even the specific laundry detergent.”

“Naruto…we’re going to have a long talk about everything that is wrong with your house among other things when this is over.” You flare up your chakra to force him into a cold sweat.

“Yes Ma’am” Naruto paused, feeling rather guilty for leaving you to handle the full brunt of clean up.

If I had something to be angry about it’d be the fact that nobody is really willing to discuss shit in this thread. Here you have a QM willing to hear you out and take ideas yet nobody is offering him ideas. I mean for fuck sakes this is why I miss the /tg/ questing days. People actually discussed shit like future plans or ideas for QMs back then compared to now.

>>3560413
Lack of discussion or criticism is what often kills quests on the player end (I’ve seen several quests that had low playerbases because of how poorly handled they were). This is one of the reason I hate players that mindlessly suck the QM’s dick. I’ll even good so far as to say discussion not even directly related to quest can help out the quest. Though most quests actually die because the QM gives up (which is why most QMs do not deserve respect in my eyes since they often are flakes).

Back inside you made sure to pour regular water and soap water for the dishes. There weren’t enough dishes to actually justify using the dishwasher. Most of Naruto’s waste came from disposable ramen bowls anyway. Next, you went to grab a bucket to pour the hot water into for mopping. The furniture was recently cleaned of dust and floors were already swept. So they just need to be cleaned.

Now that Naruto was here with the supplies you finally tackled the fridge and oven. Things were moving much smoothly with the main issue addressed. As you continue to clean, you start to get an idea. Aside from reorganizing stuff all the remaining cleaning required water. A perfect chance came to practice with Shinra Banshou.

You can do this Sakura. You been practicing like crazy with chakra flow. This isn’t like last time where you accidently merged with the river and almost went out to sea. ...The only worst thing to happen in getting swept up into the pipes….no pressure. Again you took some deep breathes to mentally prepare yourself. Moving your hand slowly to the water, you silently activate Shinra Banshou with a single hand.

Hot water suddenly begins to spread across your arm. You kept yourself focused while circulating the water to other parts of the body. Naruto quietly watches you slowly become transparent as your skin colored turns blue. In a blink of an eye, your body was now in a semi-solid liquid state. Bewildered by the transformation, you clinch your fingers tightly with a smile.

“Shinra Banshou: Aqua Mode is born!”

“I don’t get what just happened but good job Sakura.” Naruto gave you a thumbs up.

You couldn’t help but be happy with your progress. All that training and chakra flow practice really paid off. Now you can safely merge with liquid surfaces without sinking into them. By the time you came out of your mental celebration, you would see a hand sticking out from your stomach. Given the familiar skin tone, you knew who would be dumb enough to do something like this.

“Naruto…. what are you doing?” You looked at him with mild irritation.

“Well I wanted to see if my hand would actually go through you. You’re like one of those human shape jelly snacks.” Naruto laughs.

I wouldn't completely sell Hiruzen short. Shinra Banshou helped him take the Elements to their highest level/skill rank, but he did most of the work himself in his long life before becoming Hokage.

It's easier to piggy back off the work of someone who did most of the experiment/refining.

“Naruto…have you ever considered what would happen if I’d abruptly canceled the jutsu out of shock?” You stare at him rather coldly.

“…. Um no” Naruto scratches his head in confusion.

“Yes. So try to imagine how it would go?”

“I think…. you become solid and I’d…...oh…” Naruto turns pale upon realizing the grim implications.

“Very good~ You’d lose an arm and I’d have it stuck in my stomach and both intestine. You’d die from blood loss while I’d meet a similar fate from having a whole arm in my guts. “

“..”

“So, are you sure you want to be pulling such a stunt like that?” Closing your eyes with a smile, you start to grip your watery form around the arm.

“S-Sakura what are you doing?”

“Demonstrating a point~”

Naruto soon feel himself getting pulled inside of you like quicksand. Terror start to display upon Naruto’s face while you kept your arms behind your back. The suction only worsens as more of him start to submerge inside of you.

“Okay, Okay I get it! I’ll be more considerate from now on! Just stop!”

Naruto was met with a giggle as you ignore his plead. The fact he was too scared to make a comment about being so close to your chest really hammered in the point. Slowly you pull more of Naruto into your body until he closes his eyes in panic and apologize. Imminently you let go of him, causing Naruto to tumble down on the floor.

“I’m glad we learned a valuable lesson. Also, if you say to anyone that you ‘ended up inside of Sakura’. I will make sure you’ll regret doing that. “Once again you send that familiar chill down Naruto’s spine while retaining your cheerful smile.

“Y-You’re like a mom to me Sakura! I wouldn’t say such things!”

You weren’t sure how to feel about that. He wasn’t wrong since you been looking out for him since early childhood. And hearing the stories of Kushina Uzumaki did tell you that the two of you have a lot in common. Instead of thinking about it, you went on to use your new form to take care of the remaining duties. Both serving as an efficient way to clean and to practice Water Release.

Naruto on the other hand was recovering from his little scare. You decide you’re going to treat him to ramen after clean up. If only because you felt a little bad for scaring him. That and he’d better listen to your lecture about clean up if you feed him some food along with it. Eventually, you complete the chores while getting used to being made out of water. With some practice, you feel like you'll get the hand of Water Release in no time.

With the last of the chores completed, you sat yourself against the table to look at your handiwork. Earlier this morning you wouldn’t believe that the sparkling apartment you now stood was once the unbearable mess Naruto called home. Undergoing such an experience has left quite the impression on you. For one you were never going to slack on your chores ever again.

Honestly, it’d wouldn’t be surprising if you end up bit of a neat freak over this. Secondly, you calmly yet thoroughly lectured Naruto as you were waiting for Inner Sakura to arrive with Fuu. This lesson will not repeat itself, you made sure of that.

With your ever increasing arsenal you gave more excuses for people to call you a Yurei. If it makes people listen to you out of the fear of popping out of any source of liquids, then you were fine with that. Seeing there was no further need you undid Shinra Banshou. You made enough progress with it to be satisfied with your current level.

“I’m going to go back home and change. Take a shower because we’ll be going out for lunch.”

“Can do Sakura. And thanks again for helping me out with my apartment. I’ll…. try to keep it better managed in the future.”

“Oh I know you will. Cause I’m not letting you slip up again.” You made sure Naruto got the subtle implication.

Without warning you disappeared through Body Flicker Jutsu. Across the horizon you moved from place to place, really showing off your acrobatic skills. The last thing you wanted was anyone to see you. Life unfortunately never always go as planned.

Arriving close to your house, you notice that your fellow classmates where within eye’s view of you. Your heart almost froze as you just imagine them never letting it live you down seeing you in a maid outfit.

Finding yourself in eyes view of the Konoha 12, you calmly look to them with just a stare. A deadly stare that practically pierces into the hearts of your former classmates. Facing adversaries after another has ironically made your will that much stronger. So your “killing intent” flourished as a result.

“…You saw nothing. Right?” You met everyone with a closed eyes smile.

“…” The gang were too spooked to really speak.

Casually you walk back home, reassuring everyone that you will not have them speak of this. Once at home you finally change out of the maid outfit. The sooner you put today’s experiences behind you the better. Eventually after a long pampering session, you rendezvous with Naruto and the others.

In your down time you made a call to Hinata with the intent of inviting her to lunch. Naturally Hinata accepted your offer, leaving you to play matchmaker once again. Now all together, you start to head inside the ramen shop.

Inside the ramen shop, you quickly exchange pleasantries with Teuchi and his daughter Ayame. Almost imminently you took advantage of teasing Hinata when Teuchi asked if this was some sort of date. Naruto was clueless as ever as Fuu only added to the mayhem with her sheltered innocence. It took all your inner strength not to break down laughing. Now you only needed was Tenten to show up and playfully nudge Naruto and you got an award winning sitcom.

All joking aside, the four of you begin to make your order. You went for the menma special this time around. Naruto had his usual, and Hinata helped Fu pick out the best bowl to eat. If you really wanted to, you could’ve made an actual home cook meal for the four of you to enjoy. However, you busted your butt off turning Naruto’s apartment into a proper living estate. You didn’t want to do any more work by cooking.

Despite outwards complains, you never really minded eating in Ramen Ichiraku. It was where you spent your first day with Naruto after pranking. It was where you saw Hinata beat the shop’s record and became the Queen of Gluttony, beating even Choji. A feat to this day you’re still wrapping your head around.

Or even how you were tricked into participating in the spicy ramen challenge and swore off spicy foods forever. There were so many memories in this small yet cozy shop. And you hope it’ll continue as you get older. Spending time with your friends made the grueling day of doing chores wash away. It didn’t matter what small talk you did or the antics you took part in. You were enjoying their company and feeling that much closer as a result.

The next day you were sleeping in after the events of yesterday. Some part of you tried to justify sleeping so late even though you normally get up around at dusk to exercise. The argument swayed to following schedule since if nothing else you were a stickler to punctuality. Of course that’s probably due to being annoyed with Kakashi abrupt need to always be late.

Rising from your bed you start to go through the daily motions. Half-asleep to the point of being on autopilot, the long pink locks served as your senses.

With your constant chakra flow and control practice it’s not all that surprising your hair ninjutsu bloomed to the point of acting on your intent/instincts. Surely made getting through the mornings a lot easier for you.

Even in your current condition you hazily begin to plan your day in the shower. Fuu had just gotten done using the bath and was courteous to clean up before leaving.

Mixing training with convenience, you half-consciously activate Shinra Banshou to merge with the water. Using the chakra flow you start to boil the cold water to make for some instant hot water. Without the constant fear of sinking into the water drain, you were really starting to see the convenience of Shinra Banshou for everyday life.

Ah training day, the moment where we can plan exactly how powerful we're going to be.
Recently we haven't had a chance to focus practicing our Genjutsu. It would be a shame to have one of our best talents atrophy, so let's work on that shall we?

My main point of concern for our Genjutsu is that most of them are visual based, working on tricking the other senses such as smell, hearing and touch might work wonders.
Maybe we can even enhance our Earth-Style Battlefield Manipulation skills by messing with the enemy's sense of balance to boot?
>>
>>3562379

It was a very minor one that could still be fixed without drawing attention. Or so I thought.

>>3562381

That's not wrong. Being able to balance the physical and mental chakra at the level of Shinsei Mahachisu will make it easier to use the A class Jutsu without losing your sense of self in the process. Even push it to it's full S class potential.

https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Mysterious_Peacock_Method Also forgot one more inspiration for the formless/greater shape manipulation aspect of this new fighting style.

Enjoying your morning shower, you start to think deeply. Going as far as to thinking back to some unpleasant memories. Just yesterday for that brief moment you almost lost your temper. Normally that wouldn’t be a bad thing since Naruto’s antics on plenty occasions have made you mad.

It wasn’t like one of those typical times, especially when you found your chakra imbalances trying to force something inside of you. It made you start to think when the first time this has happened. It was fuzzy but you were able to start piecing it together. Recalling the brief glimpses, you were left speechless by the ordeal.

White hair…. Golden Eyes….and Intense violent impulses. Remembering such intense feelings from your near death experience wasn’t a welcomed feeling. Yet you couldn’t deny just how powerful it was. In that state you had it all. Monstrous physical prowess, exceptional shape manipulation, advance chakra absorbing capabilities, and intense chakra flow. Rarely chakra becomes visible to the naked eye when in usage except in short, quick burst.

However, in that state your chakra was constantly visible in circulation. From the knowledge you accumulated in medical study and from Lee’s explanation, the experience you felt was similar to what happens when one opens the Eight Inner Gates. It was also different since you were desperately keeping yourself from opening all the eights after forcibly drinking the Hero Water.

And yet in that strain you found yourself preforming something that only came naturally to the Hyuuga clan. Controlling one’s tenketsu was not an easy task, most people resorted to their hands or feet to expel chakra.

The Hyuuga clan could naturally do it on any and all Tenketsu points without issue. There been exceptions such as using chakra flow to envelop one with a cloak of chakra. Those required precise precision or overwhelming chakra amounts to pull off. Sometimes both.
>>
>>3562685

For you to be able to expel chakra from Teketsu points in the chakra pathway system was nothing short of a miracle. Intrigued by this, you start to ponder more after finishing your morning ritual and preparation for a trip. Before either parents or Fu would notice, you were already out the door. In your deep thought you find yourself in a secluded region in the rocky terrains. Perfect for your training since you didn’t want anyone to catch whiff of your activity.

Subconsciously, you ended up creating another Jutsu like Inner Sakura. Unlike your first original jutsu, this was far more powerful in comparison. At the same time, it was far more dangerous even with your accumulated knowledge throughout your experiences. This was more accurate to call it a Kinjutsu. You weren't sure if you're really a genius or some crazy madwoman who got lucky from the Hero Water ordeal.

Ninshu training was probably the reason why you could connect to yourself further to pull off freely controlling the Teketsu points. Or so you theorize, it was still a new experience for you since you only did it subconsciously. It could also be due to Shinra Banshou exposure, but again you weren’t sure of the reason.

Questions start to rise to the surface the more you thought about it. One question in particular stood out above all others. Just how did you manage to pull it off? And could you handle doing it again in a more controlled state?

I appreciate any and all help and suggestions.

I’ll start with reincarnation. Rather than the clusterfuck we got I’d go for a hybrid of the Chinese Hun and Po and the Japanese Shinto beliefs on souls. Essentially when a person dies their splits into two part: The earthly half that stays behind and the more spiritual part that reincarnates. The earthly half is the part of you that contains your memories and attachments to the world itself while the spiritual half is the more “pure” half. If you lived a life without regret your soul would leave behind no earthly half and escape the cycle all together.

I also chose that because it explains why the fuck Naruto’s and Sasuke’s past incarnations show up despite them being alive and without any timefuckery involved. Seriously reincarnation only exists to give Naruto and Sasuke a power up and have them fight everyone in the past.
Also not even done yet.

>>
>>3562739
For chakra I wanted to explore the more spiritual side of it. It never really is explained how or why certain jutsus work the way they do like “Dead Demon Consuming Seal” or “Water Dragon.” My explanation is that, just like how chakra can directly affect the physical world, there a spiritual plane that chakra can interact with. The spiritual plane operates on a more conceptual level allowing for effects that are not logical on a physical level. Like for example “Dead Demon Consuming Seal” you are calling upon an entity that metaphysically represents death to kill your opponent and seal their soul while “Water Dragon” channels the concept of dragons to add more power behind your attack. Being able to interact with this plane is necessary for ninjutsu and genjutsu which is why if you can’t interact with it you are limited to the most basic applications of chakra (I’m looking at you Rock Lee). It is also the home of the “kami” which are responsible for the natural energy of the world and whose existence are linked directly to the world itself. The Kami while they seem like entities are more like a force encompassing the entire world.

Limbo says Hi
>>
>>3562688
>Experiment through the Tenketsu until you get a feel for it
Considering the event that caused it was ridiculously painful, recalling it is most likely just gonna make us black out before we get to do anything due to our merely moderate pain tolerance.
>>3562849
While I do like the idea of conceptual components to jutsu, the implications of it are terrifying. But this also explains why Handseals are a thing due to them drawing further upon a concept to focus your Chakra through.
>>
>>3562980

Ah right, I probably should boost that to high tolerance now since it was a long intense pain session out of enduring that alone.
>>
>>3562980
I was pretty iffy on adding that too but thought that it fit too well to not include. Honestly though most jutsu are going to be limited by the user’s abilities with the most ridiculous being in the realm of gods (Kaguya does have an instant kill jutsu by the way). Think of it more like this, you are using the physical side of chakra to affect the world and using the spiritual side to distort the rules to make the jutsu work. There’s also the fact that if this is combined with my earlier rework of reincarnation the “impurities” the dead leave behind could affect the spiritual plane limiting what you can do with it.
>>
>>3563021
I can see why a Purification/Pure Release would be considered a Kekkei Tōta now.
>>
>>3563040
No less bullshit then Dust Release. Seriously if the QM intends to make Steel Release a Kekkai Tota it needs something like artifact creation to make it fit.
>>
>>3563068
My theory with the Wood Release/Mud Release discrepancy is that it's all about how it's balanced out. Mud Release would lean more on the water side of things and simply uses the earth nature to harden itself. The reason Wood Release is so special is that it requires a almost 50/50 balance, which is almost impossible to get on your own without some special ability. By this logic I would also propose Crystal Release is also a simple Earth/Water combo that is leaning more on the Earth half.
Yes this would mean that there are about three Kekkei Genkais for each combination, but I honestly can't think of any other system to explain the discrepancies.
>>
>>3563191
A solid theory. I guess I’ll elaborate on how I envision spiritual impurity and chakra interacting. The impurity can hinder/limit some jutsus but on the flip side it can also help/enhance other jutsus. Take for example the five basic elements. That appear to be a sort of system a primitive society would come up with right? Well turns out it was created by a more primitive civilization but not on purpose. You see when impurity is left alone for long enough it will eventually start to merge with the spiritual plane causing lasting alternation to it. Like if they thought all of the world at it’s most basic level is composed of Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, and Lightning the spiritual plane will reflect that if it absorbs enough impurity associated with that.
>>
>>3562725
>>3562735

Rather than be foolhardy and force yourself to act stupid you were going to play this by ear. With chakra flowing into your brain, you start to look into your memories. Specifically finding the event of “That day” recorded by both “Sakuras”. It didn’t take you long to find the memory with your enhanced intelligence and perception.

Seeing it from an outsider point of view certainly gave you a new perspective. Even for you this was terrifying to watch. Just how effortlessly merciless your triggered state was in brutalizing Suien and his men. Yeah there wasn’t any doubt they deserved it, especially considering what they did to you. Still, there was some part of you that didn’t condemn such acts of violence. Just like there was some part of you that really enjoyed lashing out like that. The duality of man was no simple concept to deal with.

Okay Sakura you know what you did clearly now. You’re still figuring out how you did it though. Let’s review what we know. This new form expels tremendous amount of energy similar to the gates. Hence why your hair turned white from the power. Unlike the gates you’re not forcing them open, but they are getting stressed test from the intense chakra flow. The imbalance of chakra overwhelmed the mind, eating at me spiritually and mentally while forcing my brain to rely on stimuli and primal impulses to compensate for the enhanced state. You took it upon yourself to think it slowly while processing how were you going to trigger it.

The last thing you wanted was to permanently damage your Tenketsu points. Without them, it would be impossible for you to mold chakra ever again. So this was not something that should be done hastily. Regeneration means nothing if you can't manually tap into it.

Good, you know that much now. It’s like a series of circuit breakers going off. So in that case…...what if I gradually flip the switches off while increasing the overall chakra flow. Beginning to take the right mediating stance, you start to put your hypothesis into action. One by one you start unlocking the Tenketsu points, much like how you flip circuit breakers. Unlike previously, you were reinforcing the body to help prevent serious damage to your Tenketsu points. Only when you do so did you start to increase the chakra flow and speed up the circulation.

You couldn’t see the changes, but your body certainly felt them. Slowly it begins to remember the sensation that it experienced before. Muscles ripen as they begin to expand and contract.

The memories of Lee, Sasuke and Naruto filled your thoughts. Naruto’s transformation, seeing Lee trying to master the gates and Sasuke’s sharingan. All three’s intensity was motivating you to do the same as you think about protecting them and the others. Physically a shroud of chakra starts to form from your open tenketsu points.

Yes! It’s working! Just a little more…Strengthen the flow…. release more of your limiters steadily…. As the chakra flow intensifies further, the shroud of chakra begins to become more violent and rapid. Constantly fluctuating at qualities not unheard of as it starts to wildly take shape. For some reason you were picturing how Zabuza managed to make an oni-like shroud of chakra.

This was operating on the same property once you came to realize it. Maybe Naruto was right about being possessed by Zabuza after all. Who else but you would instinctively try to recreate something like that from keen observation.

Teeth starting to sharpen, nails spiking up and your face was becoming rougher and more intense. All while your hair starts to levitate into the air as it begins to move. More…even more! Get more ferocious…go wild! Well-groomed pink locks swiftly transcend into a savage snow white appearance. Finally opening your eyes, they were admitting an intense shade of gold. Pupils slit to show that primal side coming into the light as you feel yourself brimming up with intense emotions as the chakra flow spirals wildly from within.


“SHANNARO!” You scream, almost letting out a ferocious roar that didn’t sound human.

At long last you managed to achieve the enraged state of mind you been subconsciously suppressing even as a child. This berserker state is a fine representative of the pent up feelings just surging outwards towards the surface in intense impulses. Chakra continues to circulate violently as the chakra shroud took a Rakshasa like appearance than the oni-like form previously.

I can’t believe I forgot to mention how this would affect Yin release and Yang release. While most people know about Yin and Yang most people don’t know about the division into greater yang, lesser yang, greater yin, and lesser yin. The idea is that there is always some Yin mix in with Yang and vice versa and that completely separating the two is not possible.

Not giving yourself a chance to lose focus you sat down and begin to take a meditative stance. Coming to terms with your duality was something you were taught extensively by the Ninsou. Rather than reject these feelings, you went to slowly embrace yourself. Through Ninshu you were able to balance the two elements that made up your chakra. No longer needing the stance, you slowly pick yourself up.

Alright. Remember this feeling. You want to be stable and in control when using this. Words to live by Sakura. Focusing your attention closely, you take notice of the constant chakra flow. Already you were trying to manage your chakra flow. This form was bleeding out chakra when in use.

Something that normally would be extremely disastrous for you. In order to better manage the amount and better circulate the leakage of chakra. You decide to release more of that swelling power inside. Instantly you felt yourself enwrapped by tremendous forces generated from your own chakra. The ground pulsates extensively from your sudden burst of chakra.

“I feel great! Simply wonderful! I can feel tremendous power swelling up inside me. There’s so much energy surging that it almost feels bottomless~” You exclaimed, getting swept up from the rising surge of chakra flowing through you. Those golden eyes lit up even further as you felt yourself getting caught up by it for a brief moment. By the time you realize this, you had already jumped halfway across the massive field.

“Whoops…...almost lost myself in thought. If I didn’t have such strong natural reinforcement, that’d probably cause my ankle to sprain itself. Got to remember to regulate my newfound augmentation better. “You pull yourself back, gently rubbing at your left ankle.

To think that subconsciously you managed to pull of invoking this transformed state but putting the necessary adjustments to freely use this overwhelming power without harm. Neji was right, to call yourself a monster is a grievous understatement.
>>
>>3563872

Hopping around like a rabbit was giving you a better understanding your limitations. It was frightening seeing yourself move so fast and agile. It almost felt like you couldn't keep up with your own movements. This intense feeling was no different from circulating chakra to a certain part of the body to augment its power and enhance its efficacy.

The more you get a feel for yourself, the more it becomes apparent that this was on another level. Increasing the chakra flow to such intensities allowed you to drastically enhance your entire body to a level akin to the gates without forcibly opening them.

Truly a wondrous discovery for you. If you were going to be the medic of the group, then using a technique like the Gates was disastrous. While it provides tremendous power that can ultimately exceed even a Kage level fighter, it comes with unimaginable amounts of physical stress to the point of destroying yourself from the inside out. Again you have your regenerative properties and recovery to migrate that extreme damage.

Even still, it wasn’t suited for someone like you unlike Lee and Might Guy. For someone like you, you wanted something that can be tailored for long battles with the least amount of physical and mental strain. As well as something that can be instantaneous in activating and deactivating for maximum efficiency.

Chakra Control was your greatest strength, so mastering this new state only further cements that fact. Who knows? Once you get better at it, maybe you can apply Nature Transformation to it as well.

In time, the knowledge of this fighting style and your cat summoning will come to full bloom. But your childhood friendship with Sasuke has opened up this path of possibility for you.

>>3564263

Most of the early day you spent understanding everything that you can do with the basics of Shinsei Mahachisu. The main point of your experiment was to learn all of its strength and weaknesses. Knowing them first gives you the idea of how to refine them. In terms of combat, it provides phenomenal power that exceeds even what you can normally do with Red Lotus plus the augmentation you normally do. Yet it was also quite taxing. If it wasn’t for your well trained body, chances are you’d probably pass out several times over by lunch time.

Little by little it was becoming more practical and well-polished. Already experiencing a high level technique like Shinra Banshou served as good experience with managing such techniques. Currently you revoke Shinsei Manhachisu after taking a good break. I managed to get the hang of turning it on and off. Each interval I feel the heavy burden that this technique brings me. My recovery rate makes me able to gradually shave off the wait period before I can safely do this. If I were to guess, I can use this new mode roughly three to four times a day before crashing out if just using my regular chakra. The length period I can go before needing a break to recover chakra is roughly a few hours at best. Direct combat will greatly shorten that time if I exert myself.

My entire body is constantly augmented. If I focus and finely tone what I’m amplifying, I can further boost their already outrageous output. But that’s not the problem. You thought about this while gauging how fast your physical blows travel. With this power you find yourself able to replicate what you previously couldn’t. Haku’s lightning speeds and Neji’s exceptional reflexes. Putting those two together you managed to create a rather dangerous form as you push yourself further. On the other side, it was getting harder keeping up the more you exert yourself.

The real problem is keeping up with my enhancements. Even with chakra, my thought patterns can only keep up with my body’s augmented form. If I boost my speed, agility and reflexes further, then my brainwaves can’t travel fast enough to truly take advantage of this form. If I had lightning release or was more experience with simulating some kind of electrical current out of chakra to further stimulate my brain this wouldn’t be an issue to keep up. What I wouldn’t give to have been born with keen battle senses. You lament on this while reviewing the memories again. Only after seeing it once again did the answer finally come to you.


That’s it! Okay Berserk Sakura got around this by following the violent impulses and pre-recorded stimuli left by my subconscious. So it’s safe to say that I can do it as well. I don’t want to end up indiscriminately hurting those around me nor become a bloodthirsty psycho. [/i
>>
>>3564375

Shaking with a sigh, you begin to think about how to rectify that. Last thing you desired with mastering this new state is to turned into an unrelenting killing machine. Soon it dawns on you that the core function was survival, the pain merely pushed you to your breaking point.

Slowly you close your eyes, getting back into a meditate stance while enhancing your brain’s performance. The process was becoming easier to understand. I bet if I willingly left message like protect my friends or merely “knockout” through chakra, I can artificially make a better stimulus than what my nerve system can normally achieve at its full potential. Stuff like unwanted physical contact, threat range, and malevolent intentions should be obvious to per-program. But how far can I manipulate my per-recorded messages. How complex can they be?


Let’s try this… Carefully adjusting your own nervous system, you proceed to make “artificial” messages by tinkering with your primal instincts. You couldn’t test things setting reactive commands without someone else. Using Inner Sakura was risky since you haven’t fully master this form yet. One wrong impulse could negatively influence Inner Sakura as well. Not to mention you didn’t want to use up more chakra. You gotten better at managing the chakra but it was still very draining. Instead, you pre-program some animistic behavior to follow.

“Nyah!” You made a rather convincing cat nose upon activation. The time spent with the Ninnekos in between tagging along with Itachi and Sasuke to earning their blessing has certainly left quite the impact on you.

In fact, it seems like the flowing chakra currently circulating around you start to change form. Shaping itself to resemble like that of cat-like traits, you were looking more like an actual catgirl. Based on your pre-recorded stimuli, you start to act exactly like an actual cat. Such examples were licking your arm, jumping around at the first sign of movement, to a bunch of other cat like functions. To say you succeeded at reprogramming your primal instincts was an understatement.

Your senses and body movement best replicated those newly programmed instincts. Because a cat is typically fickle, it did some good practicing the different fluctuations of your chakra. In addition, it served as a good focus point to handle your augmented reflexes, agility, speed and equilibrium. Getting used to it was surely going to open up new ways of fighting.

Eventually, you would come out of your long session of mimicking a cat’s movements. It dawns upon you that more keen observations of other animals could give you a wide range of options. Though, you were rather embarrassed by acting like one of the Ninnekos for so long. So after eating lunch you would resume with developing Shinsei Mahachisu.

Naturally before anything else you tried to achieve that instantaneous movement berserk Sakura preformed against Suien. Easier said than done as you come to realize just how hard Space-Time Ninjutsu really was. And to think you achieve it subconsciously. From the knowledge of Flying Thunder God and Tenten’s lessons, you eventually succeed in recreating that instant teleportation. Next, you started to refine and develop more moves based around what Berserk Sakura achieved.


With Lotus Light you could achieve instant teleportation similar to Flying Thunder God. Dragon’s Veins gave you complete control of your reflexes and impulses for Automatism as well as rewriting another’s. Pressure Point Change offered tapping into the Teketsu points to influence different changes to the bodily system for both good and ill wanting effects. Order of Creation is what allowed you to greatly reshape and alter your overflowing chakra shroud, and Full Blossom was the trickiest of them all.

Full Blossom was theorized to push Shinsei Mahachisu to the extreme. Achieving the full extend your enhanced maximum potential and going beyond any physical limits. Frankly you were scared to put the hypothesis to the test in your current state.

You still remember what happened the first time when you preformed Red Lotus. This was essentially a greater variation of that. Before even attempting to use it, it was better that you got Shinsei Mahachisu fully developed and mastered first.

Through constant practice and developing new moves, you begin to start having more control over your body. The medical knowledge you accumulated so far alongside your near perfect Chakra Control gave birth to what you call the Sakura System (サクラシステム, Sakura Shisutemu).

With Shinsei Mahachisu at the centerfold, you begin to theorized and come multitude of ways of influence your bodily functions and motor control. Such a method naturally would let you keep up with the more gifted and bizarre talents that your fellow classmates achieve through inherence or proper teachings.
>>
>>3564457

Without anyone telling you directly, you still managed to reach a rudimentary form of Kyōkashiyō no Chakura (強化使用のチャクラ; Chakra Enhanced Condition) at some point prior in your life. A feat that the legendary Sannin Tsunade herself has perfected to the point of preforming on reflex while still drawing out its full potential.

Something that you yourself have yet to do even with the creation of this new jutsu. It didn’t diminish your achievements, in fact it only highlighted your own natural potential. If you had someone of Tsunade’s skills teaching you, there’s no limit to how much more efficient and powerful you’d become.

By the time you realize it, you spent most of the day through improving and developing Shinsei Mahachisu. Thinking of all the ways you can utilize it to the fullest. Even acting like a cat held some tactical advantages.

You look to the sky to see that the sun was still up. In a few more hours it’ll start to become dark. So there was still time to continue training. At the same time, you made phenomenal progress for someone who is self-taught. Nobody could blame you if you decided to go home for the day.

>>3564463

Staring at the sky for a while you decide to pack it in and go home. Spending the entire day learning and developing Shinsei Mahachisu was enough justification to turn in. Another move that was neither a Kekkei Genkai nor a Hiden but of your own hard work and study. You couldn’t help but feel extremely proud of yourself. Unlike Inner Sakura, this was a lot wilder to get down to the right form. Yet you couldn’t help but feel excited over it. Imaging all the possibilities and how you were going to tackle it was just too fun. You couldn’t not get into even if you wanted to.

For you, this was developing something unheard of rather than piggy backing off of someone else’s work. Not that you had any shame or regret learning techniques like Shinra Banshou. No, you were sure to start making them your own and hold the deepest amount of respect to their creators. It was just nice to be able to develop something on your own. It made you remember back to how you first made Inner Sakura a possibility. To recapture that magical feeling was just the best. With this I’ll know I’ll be able to protect those around me. Another smile formed from your face upon coming to that resolution.

Before long you made it back home much to Fu’s glee. Tackling you like one of those excited dogs, you soon find yourself on the ground. She soon went and told you about her day. The fact she was adjusting to Konoha quite well made you happy. Especially when she was hanging out with one of your friends Tenten. She came earlier to deliver a new device that her family crafted. It was those chakra armor tekko that you lent back for further improvements several weeks ago. They were finally out of the Alpha stage and now in beta.

Fu kept talking about the different places that Tenten took her. Already they had another play date planned, reassuring you that you didn’t need to worry about her. Maybe you should take her during one of those solo runs. You weren’t really sure if she knew all the ninja skills given her secluded life or even what her signature talents are. Not to mention, Fu was more perceptive and willing to listen unlike a certain number one knucklehead ninja. So your lessons would naturally sink in without having it to be altered and adjusted for simpletons.

After dinner and some socializing, you quickly made your way to your bed. To quell your excitement, you decide to read a book until you fell asleep. Tomorrow was going to be another day for you. Kenjutsu practice, Genjutsu improvement, more Shinsei Mahachisu, etc. There was so many things to work upon and yet you couldn’t decide right there. You didn’t have any trouble sleeping that night. Actually it was the opposite. You were out like a light, sleeping through the entire night and the early morning.
>>
>>3564495
I'm cool to do one more min max day then go straight to chunin I just wanted to practice kenjutsu while in berserk sakura form
>>
>>3564893

Next morning you were met with constant ringing from your alarm clock. Mildly annoyed by this you move your hand to turn off the device. What was strange about it was the fact your fingers were curled into a paw. Twitching for a few minutes, you finally pulled yourself out of bed. Eyes were completely closed as you show off some unusual flexibility. Even with your eyes close, your keen senses developed through sense training kept you aware of your surrounded as you continue stretching.

“Nyaaaaaaaaaaah!” Letting out a long yawn, you begin to make your way to the bathroom. Completely unaware of the fact you were acting far more cat like than you ought to be.

Just to clarify how the new ability works. The cat instinct stuff is just a crutch that we are using because we can’t use the jutsu to it’s full effect. Only way we could use it to it’s maximum potential is if we unlock lightning nature at which point cat instincts will start to hold us back.
>>
>>3564915
Well we're gonna practice shinsei today anyway why not primal fighting style mixed with a big fuck huge sword and animal instincts can cover up some of our own weaknesses
>>
>>3564943
Because they don’t mix well. You seem to be under the impression that cats (that primarily operate off dex and stealth) would work well with a strength weapon. Your better off sticking to the shapeshifting swords. Also learning Lightning > Cat Instincts.

I knew it, messing with one's subconscious can have some silly effects.
>>3564943
>>3564951
We just trained on Shinsei, and I don't really get how Lightning is relevant to Catness.
a Kenjutsu day should be good here, no need to go for something overly complicated.
>>
>>3564964
I want to spar with Fu and hopefully complete Red Lotus training.
>>3564965
Cat instinct are a crutch we are using since our mind can’t keep up with the jutsu (qm story posts have stated as much). Learning Lightning let’s us ditch the crutch since it let’s our mind keep up with our body.
>>
>>3564951
>>3564978
Not disagreeing with the 'snap out of it' as the best idea for the immediate term, but why do you anons figure so many stlyes of shaolin are called 'imitative'? Learning animal-based styles wouldn't be a bad thing, but they have to be coupled with human control and reason to be effective as a martial art.
>>
>>3564994
In the short term animal instincts are useful since we are literally locked out of human reasoning when using Shinsei but when we get lightning the instincts will start to hinder us (fighting style won’t hinder us as much however) since we can using human reasoning with this jutsu then.
I was never arguing against animal fighting styles but rather against becoming dependent on animal instincts.
>>
>>3565003
The actual solution is Ninshuu since that will most likely allow Human Reasoning to be used. SOSP has been pushing it for a reason. Lightning Release if anything would also be a crutch.
>>
>>3565011
Agreed, actually. It's really just a different operating principle in each case, where animal styles managed by Ninshuu would lead to greater variety.
>>
>>3565011
>>3565014
I’ve been pushing for that as well however using lightning release with Shinsei would allow us to go really fast. Like the Yellow Flash can eat my dust levels of fast. So Lightning isn’t as much a crutch as you think it is. I’m also down for adding more animal styles to our arsenal.
>>
>>3565022
We're a looooooong ways to go before we can work on Lightning Release, might I remind you that Shinra Banshou still has massive difficulty with Plasmas?
>>
>Instinctively call upon the Ninnekos

No reason not to.
>>
>>3565003
i can see what you're getting at im not saying we become dependant but rather we hone them so in a worst case scenario we can still call on them
>>
>>3564898
>Instinctively call upon the Ninnekos
>>
>>3565044
All we really need to do is figure out how to turn our chakra into electricity. So my plan isn’t to absorb plasma but to run a light electrical current through our arm and try to produce our own electricity.

>>3564965

Swaying your hips side to side you start to act more and more cat like by the second. So much so that chakra begins to manifest and start to take on cat-like appearance. Shinsei Mahachisu wasn’t active, but it didn’t change the fact your chakra was responding to your current subconscious thoughts. It was most likely due to the pre-programmed impulses you set up.

Despite acting like a cat, you still manage to complete your morning rituals. Probably due to how routine they became in your everyday life. Although you were rather fickle about it like an actual cat. Especially when it came to taking a bath, you find yourself too picky with the water.

So you tried to clean yourself with your tongue instead. Questionable results were achieved that day. As you use the chakra shroud tail to brush your teeth, your eyes begin to wonder. Curious like a cat you begin to take notice of your surroundings.

One thing in particular catches your cat like eyes. It was a blue bird, more specifically an eastern bluebird. Currently sitting on the tree near your bathroom window that was currently open. The small avian started to chirp, looking blissfully unaware at the apex predator staring at it. Eyes started to sparkle at the sight of what can only be considered as breakfast for you.

“Nyah!” You exclaimed excitingly, tail twitching at the sight.

Quickly you pounce out of the window. Remarkable flexibility combined with honed reflexes and speed made it child’s play for the cat influenced you to capture the bird. Before the bluebird even knew what happened, you gracefully yet swiftly grabbed the creature in mouth. Keeping the bird in a state of shock, you happily mew to yourself over the catch.

Luckily for the bluebird, you started to regain your senses before any harm could befall on the frighten creature. Slowly your eyes begin to focus with the sudden realization of what you been doing. The bird looks at you with sadness and fear. A look that only made you feel guilty about your actions.

“Hoooooooooou oooooooooohhhhhhh” You spit out the bird in disgust.

“Aww oh my god! Went out the house for some bird like this! “ You quickly jump back inside before anyone saw you in your nightie.
>>
>>3565082
>>3565046
>>3565070

Insulting yourself for zooning out like that, you quickly regain your sanity and reasoning. Seems like you underestimated what messing with the subconscious could do for long term effects. Wasn’t enough to not consider using it given how martial arts were formed by mimicking countless things especially animals. It did make you be more careful in the future when hotwiring your own mind to utilize Shinsei Mahachisu properly at your current level.

It was a good thing you caught yourself before jumping out the window chasing a bird. The last thing you needed was your friends seeing you acting and thinking like a cat. A cat with uninhibited physical prowess who could instinctively use Shinsei Mahachisu when in danger.

Now you sure you wouldn’t kill anyone like this. Worst you’d be doing is seriously inconveniencing someone’s day. Didn’t change the fact you’d be a walking catastrophe. Even now you just thought of a cat pun with that and you felt embarrassment over it.

After finishing your morning ritual, you lay your head against the kitchen table. You needed a moment before you would be ready to cook breakfast. Joining you for breakfast was Fu as she finished up with her morning ritual.

“Morning Kitty cat” Fu casually remarks your experience while making cereal. You could only burry your head in embarrassment and shame.

Adding salt to the wound was the Ninnekos Denka and Hina who materialized on your table. At some point prior you must have summoned the Ninneko in your cat-like state. Judging from their expression, they also bared witness to your morning experience. Both of them looked at you with sparkles in their eyes. Clearly Denka and Hina were rather proud of their little Sakura becoming so well in tune with the ways of being a cat.

…Today was going to be a long day.

As you start to make breakfast, you find yourself making some fish for Denta and Hina to snack upon. It was rude to call them here and not be a good host. Both of them quickly prop themselves onto the table, vividly excited to be tasting one of your home cooked meals. Fu also wait in line, having decided not to finish making cereal to get your home cooking instead.

“Hey Fu. “

“Yeah Big Sis Sakura.”

“You don’t mind if you come along with me for Taijutsu training and physical conditioning? I want to meet up with Team Guy and I figured since your good friends with Tenten that you should meet the rest of the team.”

“That sounds exciting! Of course I’d love to accompanying you. If they’re friendly like Tenten then I’lm going to have no problem making friends.” Fu kept swaying back and forth in excitement.

Given her life of seclusion, it wasn’t really all that surprising that Fu would almost be obsessed with making friends. Considering that you personally experienced loneliness and solitude, you can understand Fu’s blight perfectly. With you being near, you made sure nobody would take advantage of the cinnamon bun you called your friend.

“That’s actually a great idea Sakura. “Denka interjects, popping to your left side.

“Yeah nyah! With your level of reflexes and flexibility, you can at long last start learning our secret Taijutsu style. Bàoquán in addition to Fu Jow Pai.” Hina appeared from the right, also giving you her support.

“Leopard Kung Fu? Tiger Claw Style?” You asked in confusion. Vaguely in your youth you recall the Ninnekos being really good at Taijutsu when watching Sasuke and Itachi train with them.

“In addition to being able to completely erase our presence, seismic senses and scent based Genjutsu, we Ninneko have developed two Taijutsu styles that take advantage of our flexibility and reflexes. The Leopard Fist takes advantage of aggressive speed and reflexes to overwhelm and outsmart our adversaries. While the Tiger Claw Strike uses overwhelming might to disable and break the enemy. You humans can compare it to Soft and Hard Style in martial arts. But both style is still much faster than the average martial arts.” Denka explained while Hina provided the visual drawings.

“So I take it they’re martial arts that requires the physiology of a cat to really pull off.” You asked with mild curiosity in between cooking.

“There are ways for humans to learn our fighting style. In fact, you’d already been subconsciously mimicking it with chakra. Your daily physical conditioning has made it possible for you to achieve. Now you just need to properly see it.” Denka remarks, patting against your sides to take note of your well trained muscles.

“Don’t forget your Earth Release also helps with picking up vibrations. So learning seismic sensing should be doable for you to maximize our taijutsu. "Hina cheerfully supports you.

“It’d be much better if Sakura could use Wave Release though. Then she can just freely control the vibrations in any form including pulses and waves.” Denta practically put his foot in his mouth upon realizing what he said was uncalled for.

“Sorry if I wasn’t born with an advance element.” Exclaiming with a pout, you glance at Denta.

“That wasn’t what I meant.” Denta sinks into his chair in shame.

“Now, now. Denta was just getting overly ambitious. Even without earth release it’d be possible to adapt one of the other elements to do it. But because you know earth release, you can connect to the Dragon’s vein and further this art and Earth Release in general. “

“Dragon’s Vein? You mean the flow of energy that is said to be traveling through the earth?” Setting the plates down you glance at the two ninnekos while Fu starts to reach for her plate. You hand it to her while reminding her to ask rather than take.

“Exactly!” Both said in unison, catching you offguard as you almost drop the next plate.

“See I told you it was a good idea to established a summoning pact with Sakura~ Very approachable unlike our lord Uchiha.”

“Yeah, she’s very keen. She might even be able to use that technique in the future.”

“You sure? Well now you mention it, she does have the chakra amount for it now. Maybe three more years of maturity would be perfect for her to bloom into a person capable of using that without the dire consequences. “

You were mildly getting annoyed with Denka and Hina talking like you weren’t there. Fu was equally confused by their talk. Yet neither of you took it upon yourselves to interrupt them. Instead, you made the necessary preparations to head out to go to Team Guy.

>Escort Fu & the Ninneko cats to the usual spot in the forest
>Convince Team Guy to meet you in the mountains
>Ask the Ninnekos if you and your friends can train in their home

I thought about this a little and then realized the mountains would be a good change of pace.
>>
One more thing just to get everything straighten out and streamline this.

Do you use Inner Sakura to train with the Ninnekos privately, or do you still bring them along to meet up with Team Guy in the mountains ?
>>
>>3565637
Privately sure.
>>
>>3565637
Train the secret moves privately
>>
>>3565637
Definitely in private.
>>
>>3565637
I say privately
>>
>>3565547
>>3565590

Alright so here’s the plan. Fu and I are going to the mountains to train with Team Guy. Inner Sakura will go with Denka and Hina to the forest bellow to learn about the Ninneko’s taijutsu.”

“Sound good to me!”

“We have no problems with this. The fewer people who know our secrets the better.”

“Aye. Besides, Sakura is still Sakura. “

With the preparations done, the four of you set off to the mountains. Through the Ninneko’s help you manage to get the message across to Team Guy about meeting in the mountains. Using the shortcut gave you the opportunity to arrive first. Thus, allowing the Ninnekos to scout out the area and pick out the best spot for Inner Sakura to train.

Once they found a perfect spot you then manifest Inner Sakura. You waved goodbye to your Inner Self as she travels with Denka and Hina to learn more about the Ninneko’s secret moves. Inner Sakura was far more durable and resilient than most clone techniques. Sharing some of that massive pool of chakra buried inside of you served as additional insurance. So there was nothing to worry.

Soon after you find yourself meeting up with Team Guy.

“Hello Sakura! I got your message about wanting to practice in the mountain. Just like you to consider changing the scenery to better improve ourselves. I’m once again inspired by your-”

“Hi Lee. “You interrupted his long banter, already laughing awkwardly while Fu looks confused.

“Lee it’s way too early in the morning for this.” Tenten sighed.

“Don’t mind him. Even if you tranquilize him he’ll still find a way to be his usual self. The more concerning aspect is that girl over there.” Neji glances towards Fu while keeping his stoic expression.

“Who he’s talking about Big Sis?” Fu pulls from behind you, looking at the others.

“Anyway this is my friend Fu. She’s an exchange student from Takigakure. Currently she’s under my care.”

“Hello. I’m pleased to meet all of you.” Fu bows to the group.

“The pleasure is all mine. I am Rock Lee.” Rock Lee offers his hand for a handshake.

“You’re strange but funny. Nice to meet you Lee.” Fu shook Lee’s hand, showing proper manners.

“I’m Tenten but we already met.”

“Neji Hyuuga”

Already it sound like things were heading off well. Inner Sakura was listening closely to the secrets of the Ninneko's fighting style. This was turning out to be quite the productive day.

>What do you do with Team Guy + Fu?
>>
Just for the record the Ninneko were referencing Senjutsu and Sage Mode. Animals are more knowledgeable with Senjutsu more than people cause they don't keep destroying their civilizations due to stupid reasons. Therefore the knowledge of the past, especially during the Sage of the Six Path's time isn't lost to time.
>>
>>3565781
Strength training and sparing with Fu. Let’s show them all she’s as strong as Sakura.
>>
>>3565801
So we’re learning Senjutsu from both the slugs and the cats? What a lucky person we are to double dip like that.
>>
>>3565781
Okay I guess I’ll keep adding stuff.
>Train up taijutsu, speed, and stamina as well. Do some group training with Team Guy.
>>
>>3565781
I guess I’ll add even more detail to what I want to do.
>do a training exercise with Fu and Team Guy where we us and Fu try to traverse the mountains to reach a location while team guy tries to capture us.
>>
Is everyone watching the fucking E3? It looks like complete shit.
>>
>>3565986
dude bethesda has put me in a good mood watching a company just fucking crash and burn puts me in such a good mood
>>
>>3566004
I’m really wonder what the fuck is causing that stupidity because it sure as hell ain’t money, I have my suspicions but they are just that. Also can you please vote?
>>
Okay I think a new thread is needed.
>>
>>3566742

I have been considering that. My big concern is whether I'd fully cover what was suggested, make a summary of it and go to the next day, or just flat out list out what you do until the mission.

Chuunin exams are right on the corner but I get the feeling too much slice of life may be killing the hype. That or it's E3 week.
>>
>>3566748
It’s E3 week and the thread is old. Most people are interested in the slice of life (that last mission was a plot heavy roller coaster so some SoL is needed).
>>
>>3566763

Well then I'll get started on making the recap bullet points in addition to the post before archiving the thread. Unless someone wants to save me the trouble of archiving.
>>
>>3566748
>>3566763
>>3566772
Or maybe some of us had a few other things to do like sleep. Can't shitpost in a single thread forever y'know.
There really isn't much to add onto our training plans in this day so it's best to just toss us a quick summary.
As for your worries about slice of life clogging up the works there isn't much of a issue, but I do feel like we should speed things up a little bit unless some character interaction/development crops up.
As for training for the later days, we have several things to work on such as
>Healing
>Ninshuu
>Kenjutsu
>Genjutsu
>Hair Shenanigans
>Using Aqua Mode to finally unlock Water Release
>Killing Intent
>Figuring out how Chakra Transferal shenanigans work
>Barrier Ninjutsu and how to effectively use them.
>Enhancing our Sensing ability to Spider Sense levels
>Fuinjutsu are still underrated.
>Finding ways to improve our Ninjutsu ability in general.

Think there are even a few things I haven't listed. point is there are a loooooooot of things we could choose to work on. So we might as well plan out the rest of our training days.
>>
>>3566779
Fuinjutsu is secretly overpowered, it’s just nobody uses it to it’s fullest. Even canon Tenten was only scratching the surface.
>>
Okay thread archived, new thread will be up really soon.
>>
>>3566851
Fresh bread
>>
If only I can better contact a mod to put the thread into it's respective resting place without taking up my thread limit.
