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.

>>3539699
>creative ingenious
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.

>What do you do when you arrive back to Konoha?

>>3539914

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

>>3539982
>go find Tenten and Ino
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

>>3541078
Crystal is honestly worthy of being a Kekkei Tota and is stated to be rare.

>>3541078

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,

I like this idea

>>3541248
The entire site is a gold mine. It even suggests that Orochimaru should have gone for using his true form as a disguise instead of that random Jounin.

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.

>>3541396

“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.

We might have to orderfag about this later since the strength of our memory is apparently way too ridiculous to keep under wraps. Having a good chunk of the Scroll of Seals stuck in your brain is a dangerous risk.

>>3541538
>Keep the knowledge to yourself and continue small talk

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.

>>3541538
>Keep the knowledge to yourself and continue small talk

With flying thunder god and our superhuman strength, we could easily destroy a village by ourselves.

We should keep the knowledge to ourselves and further explore the memory. We could become the next 'Professor' like the third hokage.

“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.

>>3541619

"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
>Share your tools/gifts with Tenten

>>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.

>Forgotten lineage
>Tons of chakra
>Good at sealing
Ah so Tenten is the hidden whirlpool descendant, then.

>>3541639
>instead of abusing Hiden skills
Also I don’t think those are clan skills. The real bullshit we likely haven’t even seen yet.
>>3541663
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.

>>3541674

None of the jutsu you saw are Hiden.

Just pure madman engineering with the seal of Mr. "Invent every important jutsu ever" Tobirama Senju approval.

>Learn about the ins and out of Summoning and Sealing

>>3541634
Support.
Becoming a crafter is arguably a good idea, but summoning and sealing should probably be focused on more as >>3541639 mentioned.
Otherwise though
>Talk about your adventures once the other girls arrive, they should be prepared if they get dragged into a C-rank Escort mission.

They're cursed I tell ya. CURSED!

>>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.

>>3541914

“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.

>>3541957

“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.

He has a tanto but he usually feels that's enough. That and he's tsundere about Yugao's gift.

A good idea. The first one I mean.

>>3541990
>Ask her opinion on how to better wield Kubikiribōchō
>Ask abt animal summoning

Also, give her a shard of kubikiribocho so she can craft it into some kunai or weapon of her choice as a thank you for her advice and help.

If that’s possible I have to question why there aren’t multiple Kubikiribōchō around.

>>3541990
Offer her the autograph in thanks for the seals advice, and dangle the other tech in exchange for advice on the Biggest Sword. Really tease her about the new trap and tool designs

>>3541990
>Ask Tenten how she knows about “Animals being able to summon contractors”
>Mention The autographs you gotten for Tenten and how your experience with the crew was

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.

>>3542099
>Sakura the Demon
Calm down edgelord. Not feeling the whole demon thing (or the damn sword either)

>>3542099
No thanks.

>>3542099
Yeaaaah nope

>>3542099
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.

>>3542099
You clearly do not understand what sort of character this thread has been going for all this time.

>>3542236
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.

>>3542440
>implying brute strength will work against someone that can fight Jounin on equal terms.
I’m also thoroughly against the demon bullshit you are pushing.

>>3542440
i see what you're getting at you want a demon "form" so to speak but i think we'll come up with something but we shouldn't go full edge lord we still havent killed yet and gaara is insanely powerful and also if we kill garra shukaku roams free

>>3542500
Yeah killing Gaara is like setting off a nuke

>>3541987

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.”

[If you have dialogue suggestions you want to give, feel free to do so.]

>>3542972

>>3542972 (You)

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.

>>3542972
>Lecture Tenten about her self-worth and tell her she already has been acknowledged by the Sage Monkeys
>Give her a hug
Tell her to go and talk to the Third Hokage. We think he’ll approve of her having a contract with the Monkeys and are willing to stand by her side every step of the way.

>>3542972

>Lecture Tenten about her self-worth and tell her she already has been acknowledged by the Sage Monkeys

>>3543109

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.

>>3543131

I'm literally establishing bread crumbs towards that purpose.

So anyone up for having Hiruzen train Tenten in the monkey techs?

>>3543162
Danzo's been drugging Naruto to make him a fucking idiot.

>>3543000
>>3543005
>>3543068
>>3543138

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.

https://narutoversity.wordpress.com/2015/07/12/ninja-monks/
https://narutoversity.wordpress.com/2017/11/25/black-lightning/

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.

>>3542236
>>3541914
>>3541899

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?”

Dangit SOSP, I can't help but take the bait.
I gotta admit though, we're still lacking the spirit and mental fortitude department ourselves and we might learn something.

>>3546764

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

My biggest worry now is trying to see if I can squeeze in team 8 somewhere before the chuunin exams. You already did stuff with hinata and kurenai but there's still shino and kiba.

>>3546737
>Ask Asuma if you can tag along to the Fire Temple

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

>>3548590

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.

>>3548945

“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 who broke a leg?

>Learn about Ninshu

>>3548962
Focus on learning about Ninshu and spiritual training.

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

>>3548945
>Tou lived
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.

Shippers were the main thing driving Naruto forward toward the end. It’s to be expected.

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

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. .

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.

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.

>>3551725
>Distract yourself by talking to Shibuki and learn more about the Waterfall village.

>>3551725
>Distract yourself by talking to Shibuki and learn more about the Waterfall village.

>Someone high up knows about Shinra Banshou
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?
