The Suna academy wasn't all that bad really

...Why are you looking at me like that? I'm serious, It's actually not that bad!

...

...

"Ok, students! Pop Quiz on the accomplishments Suna made during the First War!"

...

...

Ok, it's pretty bad. But I can tolerate it at least

Well, Just barely with all of the brainwashing it's doing to all of its kids, which is ineffective against me of course

I'm not going to lie though. Suna was a pretty interesting place to be in once you get past the 40 degree days and the dust bowls. The people were actually really nice and seeing new clans just made it all the more worth it

Seriously, Suna had a bunch of clans before the Third War. I counted at least 50 different civilian and shinobi clans

'What did the Noble Genjutsu mistress of Suna, Hiruka, use to defeat the Iwa army?'

Seriously, this brainwashing is really obvious but the kids are eating it up like free candy. Or drinking it up like free water...

Anyways, I've been stuck here for 3 years now and I've learned quite a bit from this place

First of all - Puppetry

Apparently I have a talent for creating and wielding puppets. Weird, huh?

It's quite fascinating to see how joints and weapons get put together in those tiny things. Fuinjutsu gets used quite a bit in puppets. It's only basic storage seals from what I can put together, but what happens when you apply something like a seal that makes it so that your puppet ignores air resistance? Hiraishin Puppet? Or maybe a seal that makes it so that your puppet uses the ambient chakra to regenerate? Jinchuuriki Puppet

The possibilities are really endless, but before then I'll have to become proficient in seals. Maybe Jack will have raided the Uzumaki ruins and I can hog off him. Who knows?

Second up on the list - Poisons

Chiyo wrote some really interesting scrolls on Poisons a couple years back when Tsunade was out there to cure them off

Did you know that there's a poison out there that induces Stockholm Syndrome? Perfect for interrogation, but you'd need a barrels worth of the stuff to actually get anything out of it

Another poison induces a sort of genjutsu effect that has the target think they are stuck in a vat of tar. Visions and everything. I think a small vial of it contains a gram of psilocybin and some really bad Habaneros...

Anyways, put that into a puppet and add some seals to enhance the poison and you've got yourself a killing machine

So!

To prepare for that, I've been practicing my Kanji non stop as well as looking over a bunch of blueprints for puppets like Karasu. Chakra Strings are out of my league for now since they take an INSANE amount of control to even create a whole hand, let alone what Sasori did

To prepare for that, however, I've been practicing sandwalking and sandstone climbing secretly

Off topic, but Sandwalking is very similar to Water walking, seeing as how the sand particles are very loose and move often. It is easier, however, seeing as how the sand is solid as a rock more than half a foot down

"Eiri! What did I just explain?" The teacher, Genki sensei shouted at me, cutting me out of my day dreaming

"You were explaining how Suna captured Kinto Valley from Iwa, Sir"

He narrowed his eyes at me "Lucky Guess.." before turning back around to write something on the chalkboard

No clue why he dislikes me that much. Maybe something to do with my mom? Some guys hold grudges that long, yeah? I remember Snape doing it back in harry potter because he was cucked by James, but I have no clue

In other news, Rumors have been circulating about a strange kid in Kumo who got a weird bloodline. Kyoi Murosaki, was it?

Could it have been Jack? Possible, but I don't want to place all of my hopes on one kid like that

There were also rumors about other kids from the surrounding countries

A guy named Inaho from Kiri who was apparently a Genius in inventing things as well as having one of the best strategic minds to come out of a Non-Nara human. It's rumored that he has a workshop in the outskirts of town where he's building some sort of giant Robot. Jack would totally do that, but I don't think he would be that indiscreet about it

A kid named Yuichiro from Iwa. Amazing Kenjutsu practitioner. Like, on par with Kushina Uzumaki amazing. He also has this weird Green Sword. Sensors have apparently said it radiates a very high dosage of Negative and Demonic energy. People were convinced that the Tsuchikage sealed the four and five tails into the thing

And then another kid in Konoha. Spike? Apparently he's a prodigy at Shurikenjutsu and Projectiles. A very great healing factor as well? I think he was seen walking around with Duy a few months ago, which is interesting. It also seems he knows about as many weapons as Tenten does. Impressive.

I believe Team 30 said that they also spotted a Red haired girl heading around the forests of the land of fire. Seemed to be a very, very good hunter and ranger. Didn't get the girls name but I'll have to look for her in my travels

I'm still wondering, however.

Which of those guys is Jack?
