Chapter 108
Of course, their memories don't return, and their strength amounts to one-tenth of the creator's, but if you don't deactivate the training seals, even against two opponents, I have to put in quite an effort, not to mention a larger number.
It's a pity you won't become a master this way—sooner or later you'll have to find a training partner, but given the somewhat cold attitude of most Konoha shinobi to weapons other than kunai and shuriken, it won't be such an easy task. While there are specialists in ANBU, there are none from the Nara clan.
As much as I don't want to go to the shinobi academy, it's another reason to consider enrollment, besides many other reasons. Unfortunately, even in this world, the toughest medics should be able to stand up for themselves, otherwise everyone who can will take advantage of you.
It's also good that the Hokage, along with the elders and Danzo, have gone to fight on the front lines, otherwise there would be a hundred percent chance of ending up with a properly instructed teacher.
But if rumors are to be believed, teams are already being handed out to jonin, although I've only seen two so far. I'm willing to bet that if it weren't for the need to carry out missions in the Land of Fire and maintain a network of patrols, even the last jonin would have been sent to fight, leaving the village's defense to the ANBU commander and his significantly diminished forces.
Honestly, I don't understand the logic of the Hokage. Reduced security in the country's territory also threatens Konoha, endangering convoys with supplies and the wounded, indirectly affecting the situation on the front lines.
Or is he hoping that the remaining clan forces will ensure the village's security in the event of a direct attack? Considering the gradual recovery of the wounded, perhaps this will provide the necessary advantage in strength on the front lines, but in my opinion, it's too risky.
Anyway, I'm not the only one who thinks so; most of the remaining Naras share a similar view. I wonder if it was such a risky strategy that caused the Sandaime to grind a bunch of clan people at the front during the war?
In that case, it's understandable why they hounded Hatake Sakumo to resign at the end of the Second World Shinobi War—to prevent a new competitor for the position of Hokage, which the clans dissatisfied with the losses would have put instead of Sarutobi.
Not to mention the suddenly rejuvenated Mito, the already elderly Toki Senju, and the not yet crippled Danzo, there is currently no one in Konoha who compares in personal strength to these two and is equally suitable for the position of village head.
How nice it is to work in the hospital—always up to date with the latest events, news from the front lines from the wounded, and the arrangement of existing political forces.
Well, as long as the war doesn't affect me personally, I can set aside thoughts on such topics. It's better to continue training and hope that upon becoming a genin, I'll have enough chances to stay alive in unforeseen situations.
At least I've heard that teams of green rookies have already appeared, completely changing their lineups several times in the last six months. Most reasons—death from blood loss on the battlefield, but also several dozen fallen from successful unexpected attacks also don't inspire confidence in tomorrow.
It's scary to even imagine the number of losses among new teams if not for Senju taking charge of the training reorganization. As mom used to say, the skill level of the shinobi and kunoichi graduating now is roughly equivalent to that of recently promoted chunin. And only a serious lack of field experience distinguishes them from enemy village chunin.
Therefore—training, training, and training again. Thanks to the clones, I can receive quite diverse training at a decent level, which most academy entrants don't have. Well-mastered basics are the bricks at the base of the foundation of my future power, and the more skills I acquire, the better.
Right now, by the end of the year, I need to focus on the Shadow Possession Technique, but a dozen shadow clones, each day assigned to increasing mastery in creating chakra constructs, will also quickly boost control. And in the meantime, I'll personally focus exclusively on sensory abilities and attempts to extract energy from the body.
Creating even a couple of links will be enough to get an idea of the process, and then I'll provide scrolls with training and the technique itself to the Uzumaki beauties. Considering the need to start from scratch, training could take several years, so the sooner, the better.
Besides, there's quite a selfish interest—I won't have to come up with all the ways to use such weapons from chakra alone. After all, no one thought of using an exploding Rasengan on a string as a guided grenade, although it seems like an obvious idea. And there are many useful things you can come up with for the Tri-Head.
And I don't even know how to set barriers without using drawn seals. Mito understands this better, so let her think about how to achieve such a result, providing me only with the final outcome.
