Emptiness - Naruto SI

But Ebizo, how do you plan on becoming strong in a world full of ninjutsu and batshit abilities with just taijutsu?

First off, Might guy fought against the best of the best throughout his career with just taijutsu, there's not a single person more qualified to learn survival from than him, ironically himself.

But I plan on abusing the one thing I feel was underutilized throughout the series, shape manipulation.

Why is it that after the 4th created his jutsu, not a single person ever tried to come up with more seal-less jutsus? Sure they reduce handsigns but wasn't this a moment of revolutionary history where most jutsus could become flow like water(which is my elemental type, checking from the chakra paper) and hard like ice, drill like a tool yet smooth like in terms of swiftness and coherent flow?

Like Katara and water bending, I remember Bruce Lee's line of: "I Fear not the man who practiced 10,000 kicks but the man who's practiced one kick 10,000 times", I plan on revolutionizing water jutsus like Lord 2nd did with his ability to create water out of thin air. I may not have the acumen to do that specifically, I can still try, but I have storage seals and pouches to place/replace water in, and a dream and so I have decided to become a B-tec Tobirama Genin.

Congratulating myself with a pat on the back and a shitty sketch of myself in an ANBU uniform with pouches attached to them like they're pancake mix dripping from the suit(I'll fix the uniform later!), I walk toward the clearing and in secret train my nature chakra and Rasengan training in order to get started.

This along with other taijutsu training keeps me so busy that I forget to help Tenten with shuriken training like I promised. That apparently pissed her off so much that in the midst of me moving toward the middle ranks that at the start of the 3rd year, Tenten gets a perfect score(I get near perfect for I completely stop caring about it altogether), turns around, smirks at me, and says: "You need a rival, bitch?"

AND AT THAT POINT IT WAS ON MOTHER FUCKER.

As if my schedule wasn't hectic enough, suddenly I've got Tenten pushing me further with regards to weapon and Angle creativity, coming at the target in all sorts of ways, ambushes, Angles, and ended up getting carried away in terms of flashiness because of excitement.

Neji, for all his wisdom is arrogant enough to pretend he's not nervous but I can See the extra callouses he's been getting from extra sparring at home and smile at him with exuberance, for I would not have to graduate early(even though Itachi's now "involvement" in the Uchiha Massacre almost guarantees it anyways), I smile because he might move up a year from all that training which would be perfect for me!

As long as I'm not number 1, they can't ask me to sacrifice myself earlier for the "cause" and in return the "effect" is they think they have a loyal, but stupid ninja.

Being approached a second time by Root while I was nature training and having to reject them politely made me serious about taking up basic sensory skills and privacy based seal-making which I end up recreating by creating a shadow clone while attending the academy.

How exactly did I receive this exclusive jutsu you ask?

I copied Naruto(cross hand seal) and started yelling shadow clone jutsu where a jonin team was training nearby and almost fainted on the spot...on purpose.

When I woke up, they laughed and said it was good ole' chakra exhaustion, but became serious when asking about how I learned about the jutsu, and I told them that I just copied some other kid.

Apparently this was not only a reasonable excuse but something that happens all the time with academy brats getting overly ambitious and trying out the "secret" jutsus they found, and so, I was let go with a warning to not show my friends this, which I was completely fine with doing.

I later learned that I was trying multi-shadow clone jutsu and was thankful no one learned of that part during that phase of my academic career when an Academy teacher casually created a shadow clone in my 5th year, so I really lucked out on not dying apparently.

Regardless, with an extra set of hands, I was able to pick up basic sensing and have it focus on fuinjutsu, specifically on creating brand new seals for storage of liquids and the outfit that comes with it because there's no way I'm going to be called something lame like flappy boy.

And with the 3rd year coming to a close, although I learned basic sensing and fuinjutsu, I simply needed help with fuinjutsu, but there was no one around to do so, and so I could only make a shadow clone relearn fuinjutsu from the basics up to See if I could See something. Instead of using the same wheel as everyone else, why not create a new one?

For this is what all the greats apparently did, and with no access to mid-level seals, it's the only thing I could think to go after, without a formal teacher.
