~ I have added this Fanfic to my Patreon. If you'd like to read advanced chapters, feel free to check it out!
~ I'm planning to increase the number of advanced chapters to +50 this weekend!
~ I've edited some of the previous chapters to remove anything you might consider "cringe" or "unnecessary." I'll continue reviewing them from time to time!
~ Very soon, we'll return to releasing two chapters daily, including bonus privileges for Power Stone contributions
<><><><><><><>
[Fūton: Kaiten Shuriken no Jutsu] (Active) [LVMAX]
The Wind Style: Rotating Shuriken Jutsu is a useful jutsu for increasing the effectiveness of your Shurikenjutsu. By infusing a shuriken with Wind-Natured Chakra, you increase its cutting power. Once a shuriken has been infused, you can manipulate the shuriken to attack your enemies remotely. Requires shuriken to use.
- Actively increases the Damage of any infused bladed weapon by 50 +5%.
- Actively allows you to control the infused weapon up to 60 meters away.
- Added Effect: Blades of Lesser Wind: Once a shuriken strikes its target, they will unleash 2-3 blades of wind into the target causing 20 to 25 +5% per blade, and each has a high chance for a critical hit.
Handsigns: None.
Number of weapons that can be infused and manipulated: fifteen.
Costs 10 CP per weapon, 2 CP per minute to maintain. (Fūton Affinity and Chakra Control cost reductions taken into account.)
Mastery Bonus: Chakra cost is reduced to the above seen values.
[Doton: Dangan no Jutsu] (Active) [LVMAX]
By slamming their hand or foot on the ground after completing the handsigns, the user can send a large boulder or menhir at the opponent. As this jutsu only requires two handsigns, it can be performed quickly. The drawback of this jutsu is that it is relatively short ranged and lacks speed when moving through the air, although this is improved at higher levels.
- Launches a boulder or a menhir at your opponent up to ten meters away, causing 150 points of damage, plus an additional 20 points per every level of [Secondary Doton Affinity] that you possess (MAX 10 levels).
- The difference between a boulder and a menhir is purely cosmetic and entirely up to the user's preferences.
Handsigns: Horse-Monkey
Costs 60 CP per use.
Mastery Bonus: Enemies targeted by this jutsu will be inflicted with two seconds of [Paralysis] while it is in flight.
The Mastery Bonuses were all over the place, but that just made it interesting. They were just High D-rank/Low C-Rank jutsu, so they weren't all that powerful compared to some jutsu, the Mastery Bonuses simply made them a bit more effective or easier to use. Still, it made his arsenal that much stronger.
He'd changed into a fresh set of his light combat clothes after getting back to his apartment post-team training and he was about halfway to TG13 when Asuma-sensei appeared next to him in a burst of smoke.
"Doing some self-training?" the jonin asked casually as he fell into step beside his student.
"Considering the EXP from the D-Ranks is barely a drop of broth in the ramen bowl, I kinda need to if I'm gonna level up." Naruto replied evenly. "It isn't as if I haven't been doing this for a year or anything."
'He's expecting me to try and convince him to stop.' Asuma easily deduced.
"I have no issues with you going to TG13." Asuma responded with a grin, causing his headstrong genin to relax slightly before he continued, "But you are part of a team now kid; you need to learn how to fight alongside each other. So I'd like you to at least invite your teammates along on your little hunting trips in future."
"Would Sakura-chan and Ino even want to learn how to fight these things?" the blond boy responded dubiously.
"Back when I was an Academy Student, it was a requirement that you had to fight and kill at least one Chakra Mutation during your final year at the Academy." Asuma informed him simply. "You either proved you had the stones for it or you automatically failed the graduation exam. Pops was not happy when he heard that idiot had it removed from the curriculum for being 'too harsh.'"
"I'll bet." Naruto snorted. "Ten-chan said she hadn't done that either; she killed her first mutation in there with me."
"Higurashi Tenten, right?" Asuma questioned, snorting when the teen nodded. "Of course, she's one of Gai's students, and that man would never condone harming 'innocent' creatures as part of a training exercise." When he noticed Naruto's curious look, he elaborated. "Maito Gai is one of Konoha's elite jonin and acknowledged as one of, if not the best, Taijutsu Master in Konoha. He's also a bit of animal lover, he hated the idea of having to kill a 'harmless' creature as part of a graduation requirement even back when we were in the Academy."
Of course, he never hesitated to kill one if it went on a rampage or had killed/injured someone, but he never went out of his way to kill one that was just minding its own business unless it was a mission. Never mind that most Chakra Mutations attacked any human with active chakra coils as soon as the beasts sensed them.
"He considers flesh-eating squirrels and boulder-sized moles harmless?" Naruto responded incredulously.
"Depends on your definition of harmless." Asuma replied with a smirk. "Even back then, Gai was a physical monster, the kind of guy who could lift and juggle boulders as part of his daily exercise routine. Compared to someone like that, most normal mutations would look pretty harmless."
Naruto could only sweatdrop at that. Yeah, compared to a monster that, even the boss monsters he'd encountered sounded fairly harmless.
"Anyway, all I ask is that you at least give them the option." the jonin said calmly. "Besides, its always a good idea to have backup, especially since I can't risk going in there except for a brief period thanks to that gang of idiots you dealt with."
