  That was it wasn't it? The thing that bothered me the most about the slimy Sannin, he was me gone wrong. Orochimaru's story was not anything new but her was my own. Born a genius, held on a pedestal and saw success everywhere. Then something happeo ge them and they went on to do great or terrible things. This story scheme was as on as it got and I khat the only thing stopping me from going dowh to terrible deeds was myself. People like to think that they were responsible for the as of those around them but it wasn't true.-

  The only as one is truly ever responsible for are their own, Orochimaru alone was responsible for the way he turned out as those choices were his aloeachers give knowledge and time to their students but how that was used was the students choice. I uood this and accepted it but my sensei was not the same. To some degree she felt responsible for the way Orochimaru turned out and even now felt responsible for myself as well. Don't get me wrong I was happy to have her as my sensei but that didn't mean I wasn't aware of why she took this role.-

  "Let me guess the old man called you specifically to bey sensei just so I didn't turn into the snake right?" I asked and she looked ashamed.

  "o look like that it's only to be expected after all. "Oten twice shy" I believe the phrase goes. Orochimaru turned into a vile person and no one close to him seemed to realize it until it caused irreparable damage to the vilge. Obviously when a child who shared so many simirities appeared you all wouldn't want to risk repeating the mistakes of the past. But I assure you that I have no iion of turning into anything like that man. Feel free to see for yourself in time." I said calmly before leaving the woman to her thoughts.

  We didn't talk much over the few days beyond her correg any mistake I made or further expining something I was having trouble grasping. I couldn't really bme her for it since I had exposed her and the old mans reason for my pt under her. She probably felt shame or like the boween teacher and student had been dirtied by this reason but I didn't see it that way.

  While it was true I would have preferred a sensei who didn't have a motive freeing to teach me beyond seeing me reach my full potential there was nothing wrong with this either. She treated no differently than Shizune and taught me early so I had no reason to pin. In truth this entire versation was simply for her own be so she could get over it. I am not Orochimaru and if I had a say in it would never be like him beyond what I am now.-

  Heavy thoughts aside there was a breakthrough in my chakra nature transformation in regards to copying my beasts. I had finally discovered how to replicate Rens poison nature transformation and I really wao punch the old man when I did. The reason for this was that it wasn't a single chakra nature, not a kekkai genkai either mind you. No, it was a yin-yang chakra blend that was heavy on yang energy that turhe chakra into poison. In other words it wasn't a real ge in chakra nature but more a transformation of chakra itself so that it was close in appearance.-

  The rest of my beasts abilities were either the exact same way itimate kekkai genkai from the fusion of two chakra natures. My cats ability was more yin heavy and my snakes ability was yang heavy to the extreme to the point it might as well be sidered pure yang release. Let me tell you those es were level helpful sinlike what I had thought they were still ected to me in a sort of hive-mind and basically let me be in three pces at once.-

  I could only hahree es unfortunately as any more caused my mind to overload and gave me nosebleeds and debilitating headaches. It was totally worth it though as my sensei practically begged me to teach her how to do it as it erfect for an iryonin. Most that died waiting for medical attention did so because one iryonin was always just that, one person. e jutsus always suffered from chakra problems and were fragile as any damage no matter how small dispersed them. My new e jutsu that I dubbed "Mitosis e jutsu" didn't have that issue.

  You paid an absolutely massive amount of chakra to create a e but after that the e and yourself bee chakra equal to what your max was and the cherry on top was that the es were also entirely physical so you basically multiplied yourself. Destroying a e was nasty busihough as the thing dissolved and you had to experiehe feeling of death and pain until it was finished. I had both my sensei and Shizune swear oy of death not to share the jutsu with anyone before I taught them how it worked.-

  Both of them were wise and practiced the chakra manipution with shadow es like I did since failure had some nasty sequences. Full body stage five cer, multiple ans, too much blood and a few other fun ditions were all possibilities. Unlike myself who could sehe way chakra moved within a body these two didn't have this privilege and ep by step molding instrus from me AFTER they got the yin-yang ratios correct to pull it off. There was a lot of deformed shadow es during that month before they mao pull it off a siime.-

  My sensei asked me if she could at least tell report the jutsu to the vilge even if I wasn't going to share it si definitely qualified as a forbidden jutsu due to it's cost and effects. Konoha had very strict policies in pce about forbidden jutsu so while I was VERY relut I agreed. It came as no surprise that we were summoned back to the vilge days after that report was sent. It took time for the information to reach the vilge and theurn after all. We were at the border of the nd of fire and hot water when a dozen masked bck clothed shinobi ambushed us.-

  It was early in the m on a overcast sky that shaded the tall grass and trees around us and we all leapt away when the first senbons(needle-like throwing on) came straight towards us.

  I stretched out my senses and frowwelve all with chakras parable to Shizunes." I reported and my sensei and fellow student both had stern expressions.

  "Twelve Jonin level shinobi, someone really doesn't want us to leave this pce. If I'm right at least one of these shinobi has a way to shoot down your hawk as well." Tsunade said seriously as the twelve ninjas stepped into view with emotionless eyes staring us down and ons in pin view.

  "This is a capture unit, look at the ons. Not a sihi to kill but s and senbon for crippling and poisoning." I said seriously and my sensei looked grim.
