Chapter 3
Four hours. Four freaking hours since you arrived and Kakashi is still nowhere to be found.
“When he arrives, he's done for.” You roll your eyes.
Sadly for you, you had the time to stretch, meditate, run and climb five trees with chakra before he finally bless you with his presence. He's perched on a tree with his nose buried in his Icha Icha.
“Hi. Sorry about that, an old lady needed help with her grocerie’s bags and me being a good person, I felt the need to help her transport them to her house.” He says without even looking at you.
“I don’t know why or care about the reasons you keep being late because either way I hate it and I sure won’t do as if it was fine. I can tolerate that you arrive an hour late since it gives me time to stretch and warm up, but goddamn 5 hours, nah. So please, can you stop being a jerk and grow out of your ‘I’m better than everyone else’ phase, because I won’t stand it.” He finally raises his eye from his book and glares at you with a bored look.
“Mah, you’re a feisty one aren’t you. If you need a reminder, I’m the adult here and most importantly I’m your jounin-sensei. So, drop the attitude around me, brat.” His gaze is almost challenging.
“If you want even an ounce of respect from me, you’ll need to act as the goddamn adult you are. Because right now, the only thing I can see in front of me is an immature asshole.” You hiss through your gritted teeth.
“10 laps around the village. Now, and don't make me repeat myself.” His jaw twitches as his patience runs thin.
“You just proved my point about being immature…” You mumble under your breath and by the way he stiffed, you know that he heard you.
“Better get going.”
Soon enough, sweat is dripping from your face and your breath is rigged.
“I know that I should regret what I said, but honestly telling him to fuck off was so worth the 10 laps.”
“Today, I will test your aim. You will start with kunais, shirrukens and senbons.” Kakashi explains the exercise and sits back against a tree as you train.
The training went unexpectedly well, your movements were fluid and every weapon you threw at least touched the target.
“Well, at least I’m not a shitty genin. Jutsus of two different chakra natures and a good aim, that's not bad I guess.”
Kakashi puts away the senbons you used in one of his hip’s pouches and walks away slowly.
“I will be on a mission for the next 2 weeks, you practise on your own until then. Eat well and drink a lot of water.” He disappears in a cloud of smoke, leaving you alone on the training ground.
You painfully walk back to your apartment, your leg’s muscles crying out at every step. When you arrive you sigh desperately at the sight of the state your home is.
“I could do some cleaning. This place looks like a dumpster.”
You shower and change in booty shorts with a baggy shirt. You braid your red hair in a single french braid.
You start with the kitchen, because the dishes in the sink grossed you out the most. You then clean up the bathroom and the living room. The only room left to do is your bedroom.
You vacuum the whole room and sort the things under Naruto’s bed. The sole thing left to do is to rearrange your bookcase.
You remove all the books and clean the shelves. You then put back each book one by one classified by the type of story in the bookcase. Until there’s only one book left on your desk : “My creations”. You open the red cover and you almost drop the book when you recognize your handwriting.
Hi! I’m Uzumaki Nora. This is kind of a diary so if you’re not me, well stop reading. <3
Anyways, this is kind of an encyclopedia of all the jutsus that I invented and wish to perfect. Those jutsus are secrets, nobody knows that I created them. So be quiet about it, we wouldn’t want to be caught, wouldn’t we? ;)
Nora’s Style: Cloak of Blindness….p.2-3
Nora’s Style: Touch of Blindness….p.4-5
There’s no date or anything that could tell you how long ago it was written. You stare blankly at the words in hope to bring back memories, but it's useless. You slowly turn the page.
The Cloak of Blindness is a jutsu that makes me invisible! Well technically I’m not invisible, I just coat my entire body in water nature chakra and it will act kind of like a mirror.
I can choose who can or can’t see, smell, hear or sense me. Though, people can touch me or hurt me even if they don’t see me. No kekkei genkai can see through or copy my jutsu and even if my opponent has sensory abilities, they can’t perceive me. I discovered these things through experiment, but I still don’t know why kekkei genkais and sensory abilities are useless against my jutsu. Maybe it’s because my water nature chakra is special? Ouhh spooky!
Anyways, I’m the only one who can deactivate this jutsu. If I don’t have chakra anymore, this jutsu won't be undone. I need to say “Cloak of Blindness: Deactivated” and do the hand sign (look at p.3) if I want to stop the jutsu.
Page 3 is filled with drawings of hand signs that you’ve never seen before. You trace the outlines of the drawings with your index, eyebrows knit together in confusion. You turn the page.
The Touch of Blindness is pretty much the same as the Cloak of Blindness, but it affects objects and other peoples when I touch them. I also need to coat the target in a layer of water nature chakra.
I can’t put objects or people under this jutsu by accident, because if I don’t have the will to activate the jutsu, well it won’t. I mean that’s kind of oblivious, but imagine if I touched someone and they just disappear from everyone's vision. That jutsu would have been completely pointless.
From the information I was able to gather, thanks to my many experiments, there’s no limit of entities or time.
Every entity suffers the same effects as when I put myself under the Cloak of Blindness, but I can’t choose who can or can’t see the object or the person under the jutsu. In other words, I’m the only one that will be able to see, smell, hear or sense objects or people that are put under my jutsu. Once again, the jutsu can’t be deactivated in any ways other than if I say “Touch of Blindness: Deactivated” and do the hand sign at the sametime (look at p.5). I also need to touch the object or the person to undo this jutsu.
Page 5 is also covered with drawings similar to the ones on page 3. Though, the hand signs are slightly different from the ones from before, but they are still pretty much the same.
You look at the clock hanging on the wall above your headboard, 14:33. You close the diary and put it on the highest shelf.
“Naruto’s classes finish in about two hours and a half, I could watch TV and pick him up directly at the Academy. I’m sure it would make him happy.”
“I’m here to pick-up Naruto. I’m Uzumaki Nora, his sister.” You look at the man before you, Umino Iruka.
“Of course! Just a minute, I will-” A loud noise makes both of you jump. Iruka spin on his heels and sprint in the hallway. Curious, you follow him closely. Iruka enter the classroom where the weird noise came from. You sneak your head in the class and almost burst out laughing.
Naruto is laying on the ground and a boy with raven hair is standing beside him, looking down at Naruto.
“What happened here?!” Iruka asks angrily.
“Naruto challenged Sasuke, saying he was better than him and well…He got thrown across the class.” Chouji admits.
“Naruto! What did I say about-” You put your hand on Iruka’s arm.
“Ruto.” You look at your twin coldly.
“Nee-chan what are you doing here?” He jumps on his feet with a smile across his face.
“That’s beside the point.” You turn your head to face Iruka. “I’m sorry for any inconvenience that Naruto has caused. You can be sure that he will hear about this later, Iruka-sensei.” You give Naruto a side glance.
“I-Uh thanks?” Iruka looked at you with a puzzled expression on his features.
“Oh and I almost forgot, you’re Sasuke right?” The boy grunt in response. “Well, I will take that as a yes. I’m sorry if Naruto disturbed you or made you uncomfortable. He doesn’t mean it like that.” You give Sasuke a kind smile, but you only receive another grunt as he walks back to his desk.
You let your eyes wander across the classroom. You are able to recognize a few faces like Ino, Sakura, Kiba, Hinata and Shino. When you make eye contact with Shikamaru, you quickly look away as an embarrassed blush forms across your face.
“Naruto, it’s time to go.” The yellow-haired boy nobs and walks slowly. “Sorry for the disturbance again.” You say as you follow Naruto out of the class.
Once you are both out of the building, you look at Naruto.
“You know Ruto, you don’t need to fight everyone or be the class clown to be acknowledged. Doing so will only result in people despising you.” Naruto's eyes are filled with tears.
“I’m sorry if I made you feel embarrassed back at the Academy, but I needed to give my apologies. Even if I understand why you did such a thing, it’s still not okay.” You give him an apologetic smile.
“If you want, I can teach you some ninjutsu and help you with your aim, so people will acknowledge you for a good reason.”
“Are you serious? You would do that for me?!”
“Of course I would, dummy. Now, want some Ichiraku ramens?”
“Yes! Thank you nee-chan.”
