Hey everyone, quick author update + some questions for you guys. This chapter's more of a chill talk session. Let's go over a few things:
Small But Important Notice
Changing the character name Hyuga Mei to Hyuga Miwa in earlier chapters — don't want to confuse her with Terumi Mei, who will be appearing later.
1) Previous Vote Results
So the vote results are in — and guess what? It was a perfect tie:10 votes for Method 1: Senjutsu Chakra Fusion10 votes for Method 2: Cursed Energy Mechanics(I don't know how that happened either but yeah)
So, I used my divine Author powers and cast the deciding vote.
Winner: Senjutsu Chakra Fusion
→ What Is Senjutsu Chakra Fusion?
We all know that chakra = physical energy + mental energy, right?
To use Sage Mode, you balance your chakra with nature energy, but the two never actually fuse into one thing — they stay separate.
But here's my idea: Kazuki's chakra is pure Yin — it's entirely mental/spiritual, no elemental affinity, no Yang chakra. So what if his chakra can fuse with senjutsu chakra (nature/physical energy)?
Basically:
Senjutsu Chakra (Physical) + Kazuki's Yin Chakra (Mental) = some next-level hybrid chakra
Kind of like a backwards version of how chakra is made — instead of mixing physical and mental to make chakra, we're fusing nature energy and Yin to create something new. Think Yin-Yang Sage Chakra, but with its own flavor.
Because it's not canon, I can get creative and give this new energy its own unique traits:
Maybe it unlocks a unique skill or ability — something like a Cursed Technique (JJK) or a Quirk (MHA)
Or maybe, when Kazuki enters this state, he can use Kido-style techniques (like from Bleach — though I'll tweak them, since I haven't read the full manga)
If you've got ideas for what abilities this fusion should unlock, drop them in the comments. I'm all ears!
2) Kurama Clan Genjutsu – How Does This Work?
So, according to the wiki:
"The Kurama Clan is known for super powerful genjutsu. Every few generations, a member is born whose illusions are so real that the victim's brain thinks it's actually happening. That illusion becomes physically real — like, stab someone in the heart in genjutsu, their body dies from the trauma."
That's insane. It's not just illusions — it's like turning the brain against the body. Very cool.
But I'm a little confused about Kurama Yakumo — apparently, she could draw stuff and bring it to life? Like summoning actual lightning from a painting?
That feels more like reality-warping, kinda like Izanagi or a budget reality stone.
If anyone can explain how Yakumo's power works in detail (anime-only stuff), please help me out. I'm mostly a manga reader (had strict parents — sneaking reading manga was easier than watching anime lol), and the Kurama Clan never showed up in the manga.
3) Harem vs Non-Harem – The Eternal Debate
Ah yes… the duality of man.
On one shoulder:
"Keep it wholesome. One true love. Or even no love — just plot and vibes. If you must, throw in a classy fling and call it a day."
And on the other:
"Bro, you've never been in a relationship. Let the MC live your dreams. Full-on harem. Maximum chaos. Unlock polygamy."
So I had a compromise idea:
What if Kazuki has a romantic arc (or fling) with one kunoichi from each village?
Like:
From Leaf – Too many options; we can do this anytime
From Mist – Terumi Mei (queen energy)
From Sand – Pakura (underused and deserves love)
From Cloud – Samui (…yes.)
From Stone – Uh... wait. Were there even any female characters from this village in Naruto? Lemme know if you have a pick.
This way, it's not just a mindless harem — each relationship can have an arc, a story, and maybe even consequences
So tell me — Harem or No Harem? Or something in between?
Also… Please Leave a Review
I know it's embarrassing, but the book doesn't even have a star rating yet because there aren't enough reviews.
If you like the story, please take a second to drop a review!
Good reviews = big motivation boost
Bad reviews = please post them in the comments of this chapter, not as a public rating
Why I Didn't Choose Cursed Energy Mechanics
One last note — the reason I didn't go with JJK-style Cursed Energy is because:
In that system, Yin × Yin = Yang
So Kazuki would end up with Yang chakra eventually… and that kinda ruins the whole point of the story — he's supposed to be an Uchiha Without Ninjutsu.
Giving him Yang chakra = giving him ninjutsu = bye-bye title.
Final Thoughts
Chapter updates might slow down a bit because I'm thinking hard about stuff like:
3rd Great Ninja War arc
Butterfly effects of Kazuki's presence
How to fix the MC's crew dynamic and his awkward Tsume situation (I'm regretting writing that tbh)
Danzo & Hiruzen's schemes
Madara & Zetsu lurking in the shadows
Saving Obito (and maybe pairing him with Rin?)
Honestly, how do Chinese authors write 500+ chapters so easily?? I'm over here struggling just to stretch one arc
That's all for now. Thanks for reading, and let me know your thoughts on:
Kazuki's new chakra fusion abilities
Harem vs non-harem (and Iwa girl suggestions)
Kurama Clan genjutsu logic
Or anything else you feel like ranting about!
