Also known as Nature Tranformation...Yesterday, in CH_173 (6.2), I wrote a fight in which I wrote that Lightning is weak to Earth.So, first of all, I would like to apologize to @Ryuu248. I replied to your comment without thinking much about it. You were correct.In the Narutoverse— Lightning is str...
Naruto: The Outsider's Resolve: CH_173 [UPDATED]
“This is the princess, and this is her lady-in-waiting.”Little Uni showed her ragdolls to Takuma. She would pick one, brush their hair, and straighten her dresses as she told him all about them. Takuma looked at the dolls in his lap; a part of him was fascinated by the stories Uni told him—the...

Takuma had been in the Land of Hot Waters once, but he had only passed through the nation on his way to the Land of Frost. The journey was quite pleasant, even if he had nothing terrible memories of the destination. If Takuma weren’t on a clock and hadn’t set aside time for sightseeing because o...

Mikoto sat in the room facing her garden as she spent her afternoon with a calm flower arrangement session. For the past year, her afternoons had been occupied with her lessons with Takuma, but since the incident two months ago, that had come to a stop, and her days had returned to what they were be...

“Are you nervous?”Takuma looked up from the portable charcoal grill with chicken on its way to become delicious yakitori to Taru sitting across from him. It was Takuma’s second last day in the village, and he was spending the evening with his friends.Because they were all busy people and it wa...
Naruto: The Outsider's Resolve: Latest Shopping Spree
Well, here we are again. I remember it was perhaps in ARC-03 I asked you guys what jutsu should Takuma buy. It feels like so long ago—which it was.And today, that day has come again.Takuma just got "several" jutsu and they are yet to be revealed. The reason for that is because I haven'...

Takuma stared at the class of children running an obstacle course. There were the few in the lead, competing against each other; the large middle pack; and the small group in the back, making up a trail. He was once in a similar situation, but it seemed so far away in the past that it looked alien t...

Takuma observed the people on the road from the rooftop café, sipping on a large glass of cold lemonade. There were only four more days before he had to leave the village for the journey to the Land of Hot Waters. He had made it his mission to enjoy the delicacies of his hometown before he was ship...
Naruto: The Outsider's Resolve: Takuma's Relationships
TL;DR: Need pointers on how to better develop characters and relationships.So, I'm taking in what you guys are putting out.In my mind, Takuma is pretty close with all of his friends. Maruboshi, Masaaki, Nenro, Ai, Taro, are what Takuma considers his family.Then there are other people Takuma has ...

The sound of a walking cane was something Takuma hoped never became a permanent part of his life. He looked at the cane in his hand and sighed. He was fit enough to fight, but his leg was still weak—Takuma could no longer feel any difference and hadn’t once leaned on the cane, but Dr. Oichi had ...

More time passed, and Takuma’s physical status continued to improve until he was back in combat-worthy condition.Clang! Clang! Clang!Takuma launched a volley of shuriken, but they were matched one to one by an opposing volley of shuriken.The shuriken had barely fallen when Maruboshi rushed Takuma,...
Naruto: The Outsider's Resolve: TIMELINE [till: CH_165]
So, I have been wanting to do this for a bit now.This post is roughly how much time has passed since Takuma came to the Narutoverse. I believe there has been some confusion or perhaps a general haziness on how much time has passed.I hope this will clear it somewhat—YEAR-1 (Takuma-10yrs old— Stud...

Takuma took a deep breath, grabbed the parallel railings on either side of him, and exhaled as he let his arms support his weight. He grunted in pain and extreme discomfort as he tried to walk forward; his legs and hips trembled like a newborn faun. To re-learn how to walk, something that was as nat...

In an underground facility under Hidden Leaf known only to a select few, Kinoto walked down a hallway lit with yellow lightbulbs nailed to the walls with a line or jute rope where his footsteps trained to be silent still made echoing noise.The facility was built deep underground, going further than ...

Takuma slowly opened his eyes and was greeted by such a blurry mess that he couldn’t tell where he was. It took blinking dozens of times to get his eyes to focus, and even then, they went out of focus when he tried to look around.From the beige ceiling above, the green curtain to his sides, and th...

In a hospital staff room, Ai worked on a report that needed to be submitted the next day. Her day had started at seven in the morning, and she was in the hospital for her classes by eight. She looked up at the clock, which was about to turn eleven. She sighed, knowing it would already be midnight by...

Takuma turned around to look at the three assassins who stood around him at a distance. No#1 and No#2 looked injured and hobbled—it seemed his Water Release: Wild Water Wave had done a good job. While No#3 looked tired, his cloaked body had lost the sharpness it possessed before.Takuma dug into No...

Takuma didn’t dare look at his leg in fear the remaining three assassins would notice the glance and figure out the situation. But simultaneously, it didn’t matter as they would figure it out anyway when Takuma moved.The rain was now bathing the Hidden Leaf. Takuma’s ears were filled with the ...

Six while moving; seven while stationary.That was Takuma’s limit with Eight Tentacles Jutsu. But today, that wasn’t something that would work today. He was injured, and the four assassins had an iryo-nin among them, which meant they had slightly less to worry about injuries— but even that smal...

Takuma retreated towards to where he had left No#1 but found the man to be missing. This was a great problem with fighting multiple opponents; help was readily available—something he had recently taken advantage of against a difficult chunin.He turned back to the second man and recognized him as N...

AN: Before you start, two things of note: I split the fight into three chapters of regular length— and second, the fight is still not over. I'm finished with Phase-1, and I wanted to continue to write, but felt that too much time had passed. There's Phase-2, which should be shorter— perh...

“Why didn’t you order anything,” said Sango after handing the menu to the waiter.Takuma took a sip of water. “I don’t like to eat immediately after fights,” he said. He had just finished a ninjutsu fight at the Ring, and instead of taking her usual payment, Sango had asked him to treat h...

“Biding a chunin in a genjutsu. You have come far,” said Mikoto, smiling. “I remember the last time you couldn’t exclude others from getting trapped by the genjutsu. Isn’t it good that we worked on that?”“The genjutsu would’ve been useless if I caught in the genjutsu.” Takuma sippe...

From the day they left the village to the day they returned. The mission took a whopping ten days to wrap up. They had to process the entire farm— search the whole place for information, take samples of the crop and equipment, and then torch the remaining crop down to shut the site down permanentl...

Takuma gazed at everyone on the team, the nine people who had helped him bring down the chunin. He didn’t know half of them well. Nenro and Masaaki were his best friends, while Arisu was his second-in-command, partner, and firmest supporter inside the Police Force. Minoru and Gouki were his co-wor...

As the mist faded, the first thing Yuhi searched for was the chunin. Among the cardinal rules of combat was never letting the enemy out of sight. She held the bell tight and rang it again while her eyes scoured the ground, darting among the trees. Her sight finally landed on the chunin, who now had ...

“Come on, sheep. Is that all you got?” asked the chunin.He enjoyed the look on the kids’ faces. The slow growth of displeasure, pain, anxiety, and exhaustion crept up on the brat’s face as they continued to fight. It was only a matter of time before the little chicks got tired, and as they d...

Earth Release: Hardening JutsuTakuma recognized the jutsu used by the chunin. The well-known B-rank jutsu would pull the surrounding earth onto the body and harden it to a rocky consistency. The jutsu worked the best when the material used was naturally rigid, but it could use even the most porous o...

Takuma felt the resistance from the chunin’s arms against his grip fade, and relief filled him. The last half hour had been more stressful than any raid he had conducted in the past eight months; they didn’t usually ambush chunin like this. Moreover, this time around, he had Nenro and Masaaki al...
