16 Half year, developments and an old man

After we pass Kakashi's test they give us lots of D-rank shitty missions for ''Development of your teamwork'' and I used this time to develop and refine my jutsus and equipment. I create a new type of shadow clones. Just like Kakashi's Lightning release: Shadow clone, I create Yin release: Shadow clone. The effect of this technique is unlike the original Shadow clone where you need to dispel first to get their memories my clones linked with me and other clones. While this will increase the strain on the brain thanks to my Uzumaki heritage and Kyuubi I can handle it and this will raise my training efficiency tremendously because me and my other clones get knowledge about training subject without dispelling(the moment one of us enlightened all of us will be enlightened) and this link is cuttable so I can create hive mind study groups with this.

I teach some water release jutsus to Karin and she learns some earth release jutsus from Kakashi. Sasuke learn tree climbing and water walking. Karin already learned them so she focuses on jutsus in this time frame like me. I create a new way to use Uzumaki adamantine chains. In the original way, they come out from users back because the widest tenketsu points are there and these are most suitable for this technique. If I use these tenketsu points I can create one chan with ease and it is powerful but dodgeable because its only one chain. In my way, I create the same chakra flow from my finger tenketsu points and one chain chakra is enough to create five slim chains. While these chains not strong as the first one they have the same properties as preventing chakra usage of the victim and they're faster and easy to use in sneak attacks for neutralizing targets.

We create a new way of use for Karin's special chakra too. Karin named it Uzumaki style: Mystic palm (what a creative naming, right?) and it works as a yang release and we can store this chakra inside scroll to use whenever we need it. We teach this technique Yua too and our clan gains a new money and gratitude source from other shinobis. Because this technique multi-purpose medical jutsu which is useable in the form of the scroll for shinobi who doesn't have a medic ninja to help them. Also this technique doesn't harm Karin or Yua or me (I ''awakened'' it too) so it is perfect in my eyes even though it isn't effective as bite version.

I also learn water clone technique and Kakashi's Lightning release: Shadow clone then create wind clone and lightning clone techniques while wind clone is useful because the user can create solid clones from the wind just like water clone technique, lightning clone technique doesn't seem like useful because it needs lightning(electricity) to create clones. I don't stop there and create Wind release: Shadow clone and Water release: Shadow clone too. Unlike normal elemental versions, shadow clone versions have both effect of Shadow clones memory and elemental clones after effect like water splashing on the enemy or sudden wind-waves which stunning enemy. I learn Shadow clone explosion too. I start to learn Flying Raijin jutsu but I am not complete it.

Apart from jutsus I also upgrade my old equipment and create new ones. I already create empty-finger gloves with Enclosment-seal (storing) inside palms and earring with Barrier talisman seal. I create a little war hammer just like the hammer of Thor from Norse mythology with weight seals connected to others and unlike training weights which are passive (always active), active so they only become heavy when I want. I don't stop with the Hammer and create some kunai and shurikens in same logic while the Hammer is specially made and have nearly a hundred seals ( a kunai maximum take 3 while shuriken hardly takes one while Rock Lee's weights have seven seals in anime[I go and count it]) so it is a formidable weapon but hard to use because I can't find a good way to use it for now. I don't let go of my forehead protector too. I use hypnotism seal on it activated when I wish so when someone looks at it they feel dizzy if not fall in sleep directly. It mostly depend on persons will power to resist it. I forget to say I create a special ink for using on seals. Its invisible ink for seals so my enemy doesn't know the fact my weapons have seals on them. I take two gourds one for water and the other for poison then I made Enclosment seals inside them and now I have lots of water and poison in storage with me. They come handy, especially the one that keeps water. Thanks to it I can use water release jutsus without needing a lake or river nearby or open my mouth because I cant use Tobirama's water gathering jutsu for now. These gourds are little unlike Garaa's and I can carry them on my belt. I get the inspiration for them from one of the myths I don't remember which one now (Sun Wukong maybe but I am not sure).

All these take half of the year and I start to worry because we still don't get the cat mission which let me know the time of Zabuza's mission until today. Today we get the cat mission and now on the way of Hokage's office, Karin carries the cat and unlike the manga, the cat doesn't attack us. I get this chance and put a tracking seal on the cat while act like I patting it. It is the cat of Daimo's wife and humans mostly bring their pet when they go somewhere ''safe'' like emergency hideout and it doesn't hurt to know the possible location of Daimo's wife. After 5 more minutes, we came to Hokage's office and give the cat to its owner. Then Hokage start to talk.

Hiruzen: Now, Team 7 your next mission is baybsitti-

Me: Oi, Jiji come on! Give us something more suitable for our power level. I mean I don't say give us some A-rank or S-rank but I know you can give us at least a C-rank mission.

Kakashi: With all my respect Hokage-sama, kis is right. They successfully take bells from me even though I only doing defense.

Iruka: But Hokage-sama

Hiruzen: Enough, Iruka. Kakashi is the one who teaches them and who know their powers best. If he thinks they are qualified for C-rank there is no reason to not give them. There is a protection mission. Bring the client here!

Tazuna: Oh, what is this Hokage-sama. They are just a bunch of brats. They can even defend themselves?

Me: So you think your judgment about a shinobi strength is better then Hokage?

Tazuna: No, no. Of course not! Just you are seemed too young to me.

Kakashi: Don't worry about it. Even if they are young they are powerful enough to give headache some low Chunins. And I will come too. I am a jounin so no need to worry.

Tazuna: Okay then. We don't have much time.

Kakashi: Well, Team 7 prepare and meet me with doors of Konoha. I give you one hour.

Me, Karin and Sasuke: Yes Sensei!

With this our journey to Land of Waves begins...
