(NSS)Chapter 74: A break(2)
🕑 Added 2024-06-25 16:10:29 +0000 UTCBut then her face became conflicted "But what if someone finds out? Would that cause you to get in trouble?" she asked concerned.
I shook my head "It may sound arrogant of me but I guarantee that nobody will care so long as I vouch for you. Not to brag but i'm something of a famous figure in the village at this point." I said honestly.
"Really? Why?" she asked surprised.
"My sensei is Tsunade Senju and in addition to that I regularly appear at the hospital and use my medical skills to heal others. That alone gives me quite a lot of recognition but then you add on my beasts and I can be considered quite famous in the village." I said with a grin.
"The greatest medical ninja in the world is your sensei!? And you've just been sitting here and letting me learn from books!?" she exclaimed in offense.
I shrugged "I had to learn from those same books so why wouldn't you? Besides it's not like you can get a lot of practical experience in here now can you?" I asked and she stopped to think about it for a moment before sighing in disappointment.
After that she used the transformation jutsu to change her hair color and facial features but left the rest alone at my suggestion. The reason for this was because there was honestly no point in her performing full body transformation when no one would be able to identify her with just her hair and face transformed. It was actually easier to tell when the transformation jutsu was used when you went full body as any shinobi worth that name would notice the inconsistencies that are inevitable with such large scale transformations.-
Obviously you could just spend the extra effort to perfect your transformation but really unless you were on an espionage mission or something like that it was a waste of time. It was easier and more time effective to do what I had Karin do and use a mirror to fix the consistencies of her head transformation and that's it. Her chosen form wasn't even all that complicated either as she shortened her hair while turning it plain brown while changing a few details of her facial structure so that you couldn't tell she was who she actually was even if you knew what she originally looked like.-
"So um do you take other girls to out like this?" she asked fidgeting as we left my house secretly.
I tilted my head in confusion at it though "I haven't thought about it but I suppose you would be the first, why?" I asked.
"No reason!" she said hurriedly but had a happy look that confused me.
Soon enough we left the forest and entered the village proper where I started taking it slow as I showed her around.
"Over there is the best blacksmith in the village, and that's a famous dango shop that is pretty popular with the kunoichi of the village. Never saw the appeal myself." I said pointing as we went.
"Eh? Kenzo is that you?" a semi-familiar voice called out in surprise from nearby and I turned to see who it was.
It turned out to be Shikamaru who had his hands full with grocery bags.
"Your mom send you out to restock up on groceries?" I asked with a chuckle.
He sighed tiredly "Yeah, it's a real drag man. What about you though, who's your friend here?" he asked curiously as he eyed Karin.
"A friend I'm showing around from out of the village is all." I said honestly.
"A friend eh? Well if Kenzo's vouching for you you should be decent enough I suppose, he tends to know what he's doing after all. I'll leave you to it though as my mom'll kill me if I take too long getting back." Shikamaru said casually before walking away.
"See I told you." I said with a grin to Karin who was nervous after Shikamaru easily figured out she was in disguise.
"So people just see you involved with something out of place and accept it, just like that?" she asked in astonishment.
"Just like that." I said with a nod.
We continued walking through the village as I pointed out all the things I thought she should know if she was going to live here in the future. We ran into a few more people that knew me and after the third time someone chose to just accept her presence after I vouched for her she relaxed. We got to the ramen shop at about five or so and the place was like usual empty.
"Ah Kenzo welcome! And what's this you even brought a young lady with you today, my you kids grow up so fast!" Teuchi said with a smile and a laugh.
"Nothing like that, we're just friends." I said shaking me head.
"Sure sure, so you getting the usual today?" Teuchi asked with a chuckle.
"Give me the chasu special with extra onions this time, same amount as usual though." I said while taking a seat at the counter.
"Got it! And for you young lady?" Teuchi asked with a smile.
Karin looked at me worriedly "I don't have any money though?" she said bothered.
"Don't worry about it, my treat so go nuts." I said with a reassuring smile.
Go nuts she did too. Three bowls of crane special and two of the mushroom ramen with added chicken cutlets. Teuchi like the master of ramen he was had the first bowls for both of us out in two minutes tops and then slowed down with the perfect timing of the next bowls so we got them right as we finished our previous bowls. Karin was all smiles as we ate and it was clear that the love of ramen might be an Uzumaki thing though Teuchi could just be that good at what he does, hard to tell.-
Once we were done eating I paid for the meal and we had to lose the Root shinobi tailing us in the village before we snuck back to my house for the night. Karin was in a great mood for the next week at least after that little outing and I always caught her smiling to herself as she read her books. For me it was back to business as usual as I worked on mastering the water release jutsu to the point of not needing handsigns anymore.-
By the end of the week I had lowered it to four handsigns and by my reckoning that meant in another day or two I will finish it up. Once I had that taken care of I just needed to learn at least one A rank elemental ninjutsu for me to confidently say that I was truly at Jonin level across the board. My taijutsu was in S rank like Guy's and my sensei's due to my body but I was honestly much weaker in almost every other regard with medical ninjutsu not counting since that was not a combat skill.

I had an idea for Kenzo’s chakra projection technique. After he gets both arms covered why not try to extend it to his chakra metal staff? He could coat it in a projection that lets him turn it into other weapons. Like adding a massive hammer head to make it become a warhammer, a blade to make it a scythe, or just a point at one end to make it a spear. That would be an immensely powerful weapon for Kenzo. The warhammer mode would give him the power to decimate even full size tailed beasts. Plus the blade projection forms could work like Asuma’s trench knives in that they could alter the length making him even more unpredictable. You could have Kenzo spend some time in the country of Iron just sparring with the master swordsmen there to hone his weapon techniques.

It's due to the sage chakra how else is he supposed to be that strong and durable is not condensing all thise muscles down didn't know it did the same mentally but we learn something new everyday XD

Isn't he aware of her felling but just ignored them? I remember he said he was trying to friend zone her until she pass her 'princess syndrome' phase.

Why do they not consider the medical ninjutsu combat capable? I mean I get a lot of it takes time, but with his abilities and his sensei’s couldn’t they both use their knowledge to help with where to hit and the iryo ninjutsu to case burst of growth in joints or the scalpel added to their hands to cut tendons ect?
