My sensei absolutely adored Karin much to the girls disfort and my amusement. She showered her with books that beloo the Uzumaki , artifacts and even clothes of the same nature. It was only when Karin started hiding from my sehat I put a stop to it. I get it really I do she was just so excited to see an actual Uzumaki again that she impulsively tried to spoil Karin with gifts. Pretty sure the reason she hadn't dohe same to Naruto was because he took too much after his dad and failed to live up to her mental image of the .-

  Karin oherhand was ironically a stereotypical Uzumaki with the looks, attitude and taste in men, whatever that meant. Still after I moved into the Senju pound I finally had some peace because the seals around the pou by the first hokages wife Mito Uzumaki made trespassing a death sentehe woman was a grandmaster sealer and the first jinchuriki of the ails which meant that the seals she made were ridiculously powerful and plex. She was very different than Naruto in regards to that st part as well.-

  If the history books were to be believed she was able to freely tap into the beasts power and even give some of it to others temporarily. Thanks to this the seals around the pound had the "feel" of the ails due to the vast amounts of chakra from it she had used wheing them. So much power in fact that my instincts told me to avoid activating them at all cost. Apparently Danzo himself uood how dangerous these seals were as he hadn't had any of his Root spy on me while I was here.-

  That said there was han a dozen of them outside the pound no doubt top make sure I couldn't vanish again.

  'It won't matter in three days when my sensei gets inaugurated.' I thought with a smirk.

  Normally the inauguration of a new Hokage was supposed to be a gra with lots of celebration over weeks but the vilge was in such dire need of a new Hokage to return us to normalcy that the process had been simplified drastically. About four days long was the entire process as my sensei had to go to the fire capital get the blessing of the Daimyo then e bad carve their name on the mo stone as every Hokage has done sihe first.-

  The stru crews were already in the process of carving her fa the Hokage rock overlooking the vilge. While I waited for that process to finish I sent out shadow es to collee things for me in the vilge. To be specific item crafting books and some materials for that. I couldn't train my chakra armor in this pound but the pce had a fully funal if slightly dated fe and crafting rooms. They were apparently something the sed Hokage had installed as he tinkered and toiled over various ideas of his.-

  The fe was even a pce he had created his famed [Bde of the thunder spirit] in that was to this day sidered on par with the seven swords of the mist. The thing had unfortunately been lost to us after his death but records stated that it was just a small metal ha when fed chakra it created a bde of pure lightning that also boosted the power and chakra ption of that nature of jutsu.-

  It was my hope to pick up crafting so that I might one day create sage tools. Before I could do that though I o know how to make items first. What better time to learn than when I have over a week of free time? I came to uand really quickly that a week was NOT enough time. Normal smithing I could roughly pick up in that time due to my ability to retain and utilize vast amounts of information I read as well as my body that easily hahe work and precision.-

  The problem however came in the form of once again experience as well as advaeiques. The basic stuff like iron and steel f was easy enough to figure out from the information I read as it was a lot of heat trol and uanding of the materials and how they were worked. The issue however was that I hadn't have the "smiths instinct" that came from years of honing the craft and so everything made ractically faade. It was all the exact same and cked any personality or speess. The Senju library had some advaeiques but the problem came up in that none of it was what I needed.-

  As I found out the art of smithing was kept very private and mostly monopolized by the nd of iron. This meant nearly all information on using special materials like chakra metal or literally any other type of special material was out of my reach. The sed Hokage had apparently been sworn to secre this regard after going to study the art in the nd of iron so even the senju library was useless in this regard. I was very unhappy to discover this and had to resort to experimentation to see if I could improve my products better.-

  For example I discovered that I could improve iron or steels chakra ductivity if I flooded it with chakra while it was molten. It was a small increase of maybe five or ten pert but it was still an increase. I also found that wildly infusing natural energy iher iron or steel had extraordinary results. Both metals got a lot more durable with iron having a seemingly two hundred pert increase in durability while steel jumped a whopping four hundred pert, I kept those for myself.-

  I wasn't really willing to purchase any chakra metal or any other special ore to experiment with so I only mao get the hang of iron and steel work by the time my sensei was officially instated as the fifth Hokage.

  "Alright brat I have the office so cough up that evidence." she wasted no time demanding.

  I summoned my turtle before retrieving the envelope I hid u's shell just behind it's head.

  "An odd pce to hide something but safe enough given how sturdy that shell is." my sensei e this sight.

  "I warn you now that what you are about to read WILL make you mad so try to limit the destru as much as possible." i said seriously as I handed over the envelope.

  She looked slightly hesitant but steeled herself before opening the envelop and pulling out the papers within. I watched as she read further and further with eyes wide before darker and darker an expression crossed her features. I could practically taste her a was so intehough she was doing surprisingly well at maintaining her posure.
