Chapter 9

I decided to start with Bunshin no jutsu. Taking in a deep breath, I cleared my mind. Tiger—Boar—Ox—Dog, "Bunshin no jutsu" at the moment a poof sound and white smoke emerged with a complete copy of me by the side. How did I know the hand seals? They were in the scrolls. I was not so much a die-hard fan to know the simple lower level jutsu hand signs like the bunshin, but I knew complex hand signs for the Water Dragon Jutsu and Chidori. Who knew how many days and hours I spent memorizing those? Crazy right?

Rubbing my chin in thought I felt it was quite cool. There was a perfect copy of myself just staring at me. What was even better for me was that I was right. It came extremely easy to me. It seemed Sakura had really practiced them and quite extensively too for the jutsus to actually become muscle memory.

Another quick hand signs, this time with a bit more chakra and "Bunshin no jutsu". 'Poof, poof' sounds rang out as two clones appeared. "Very good." Feeling satisfied with the jutsu as well as the control, I undid the jutsu.

"Hehe. Haha. HAHHAHAH!" I began to laugh hysterically. I was not losing my mind. I was ecstatic. No matter what, I just performed a jutsu. I, a person from earth that had on more than one occasion fantasized or dreamed about performing some techniques of certain animes and manga, especially including Naruto, just performed a jutsu.

Granted, it was the most basic of E-rank jutsus, bunshin (clone), which had zero substance, but I just performed it, with hand seals no doubt. As I was enjoying the moment, I was suddenly hit with a wave of melancholy. I wished my daughter was there to see me. Naruto had always been her favorite anime. Even after the manga had ended, I did not how many times I had caught rereading certain chapters or re-watching certain episodes over and over again.

"She would probably have died of bliss. Let's continue." I shook my head to get me out of that mood as I thought of the next jutsu. At this point I had already confirmed I had it in memory and there was no need for me to continue but I just wanted to get a feel for it.

It may be muscle memory but I needed to know how to initiate it first before the body naturally remembered. Following what I memorized from the library, I gathered chakra, and with a clear image of what I wanted to transform into, I yelled, "Henge!", With a puff of white smoke, there stood a blonde haired, fair skinned middle aged woman with a single band down her face; Haruno Mebuki.

Although I had no way to confirm facially, I was pretty sure it worked. Why? Well for one, my height had changed from the short 11-year-old to a much taller figure. The clothes I was wearing had also changed as well. I now wore a long grey skirt that reached my feet and a black sleeveless top.

"Hmm, so did these grown up clothes transform with the help of the clothes I wore or would they still appear even when I'm naked? Chakra maybe? Maybe I can experiment later.". But still, I was almost tempted to pee on the floor and check my reflection but that seemed a bit too…

Regardless, I had succeeded. I really had a vivid image of her. Plus, it helped that I had just seen her not too long ago. I began doing the hammer dance and then the moonwalk as celebration. That was what I always did back on earth each time I closed a good sale. This time however it was me just being happy about being ninja. Nin Nin.

After a while, I finally calmed myself down as I undid the transformation. It was finally time to try the two D-rank jutsus I memorized. She had brought out four D-rank jutsus however the other two were unpractical to me so I memorized the ones I felt would benefit me the most.

The first was shunshin no jutsu (Body flicker technique); Mind blown. Who would have thought the weed librarian would actually pull this out. She probably assumed I was surprised by the number of D-rank scrolls she brought out. This was a technique that allowed the user to move short to long distances at almost untraceable speeds, appearing as though the user teleported. This technique trained to a high degree had so many practical uses; It was just ridiculous.

Uchiha Shisui was able to move seamlessly leaving no trace of his presence nor indication of his destination. It even allowed him to leave tangible copies or afterimages of himself.
