Chapter 20: The Country of Waves

Disclaimer: Naruto is the work of Kishimoto

Sometime later, Kakashi was on a crutch and moved with his team to a place nearby of the home of their client.

All three of his students were silent which was a strange thing since he expected things to be louder with them before he got them.

The main reason seemed to be Naruto.

Yes, the blonde whiskered boy was something unexpected for the copy-ninja. He was reported to be dead-last; a failure in Taijutsu, Ninjutsu and Genjutsu all the way compared to the prodigy Sasuke who was the opposite and Sakura who was a promising Kunoichi in her own right.

Oh the reports couldn't even compare to the real thing.

Upon seeing his team for the first time, it seemed that only Sasuke's report was correct in that he was strong for his age, was anti-social and was a loner. Sakura on the other hand wasn't the promising Kunoichi but rather a Fan-girl.

And Naruto?

Naruto wasn't dead last. In fact if he had a different name and appearance; Kakashi could've sworn he was an experience Genin at least. He was quick on his feet, moved with calculation and had a high amount of skill in Ninjutsu with a surprising mastery of the Jutsus he knew. His Taijutsu wasn't that impressive but combined with Shadow Clones…

The only thing correct about the report seemed to be his lack of attribute in Genjutsu.

Yes, Naruto was different from what he knew. He still had some guilt for not taking care of the boy when he was orphaned on the same day, the same hour he was born but he was a teenager who was in ANBU and was carrying way too much to support a child of all things. He didn't want the boy to be as screwed up as him.

Of course there was that time when someone had the bright idea to try and poison him and later send an assassin in when that failed. Kakashi had LOTS of fun making that foolish assassin spill his guts, metaphorically and literally.

Anyway back to Naruto.

The boy seemed…calm for the most part as if he was bored.

However in training there was this spark that appeared once in a while but it almost seemed like he was relearning something he had forgotten. Something that marked him as some sort of Genius.

And Kakashi would've believed that as well if not for the fact that he one day found out that Naruto had at least 200 Shadow Clones constantly training at once.

Whether or not he had talent; Naruto was effectively using his Shadow Clones to better himself.

That kind of thing let you survive in this kind of world. It was an unexpected find for a student to actively train themselves independently. A Sensei should be someone who guides the next generation not hold their hand for every step.

And any thoughts of being offended when he found out Naruto had kept this training from him was removed when said person also asked the most questions, asked for the most explanations on a wide variety of topics and even made Sasuke who was too stubborn to ask for help stronger as well as a result.

Sometimes he thought he was intentionally doing it showing some skill that he couldn't completely hide in one thing or another when he asked for a topic that Sasuke would excel in.

Needless to say that the Last Uchiha improved loops and bounds and became friends with the blonde due to this. He wasn't stupid to not see that Naruto was helping him along with himself.

Unfortunately neither boys liked Sakura that much especially with her attitude to training.

Naruto seemed to avoid her more than anything else now and Sasuke always did before so there was no change in his attitude to her.

What changed was Sakura who became even clingier to said crush which drove him even more away. Kakashi knew he better request a transfer for Sakura later on if this keeps on happening.

Now what to train them in…

Naruto already knew of the Tree Climbing and Water Walking Techniques but Sasuke and Sakura didn't. He supposed he could make them work on that first. Sakura would get it quickly with her low reserves and control but Sasuke would take a while.

Then he would have to deal with training both Naruto and Sakura at the same time.

'Well I get Sakura to guard Tazuna for the time being if she finishes quickly' he mused. He was subconsciously being lazy in training Sakura since she didn't do much training even with him prompting her.

"Now we're going to get started with Training" he said to his students, "First of all, can anyone tell me what Chakra is?"

Seeing this is the area of expertise Sakura smirked before reciting out the textbook answer, "Simply put, Chakra is the energy a Shinobi needs when performing a Jutsu. Chakra is the combination of spiritual and physical energies which are formed from the strength of your body and the experiences of your mind. So by bringing out and releasing Chakra, you can use a Jutsu. This is done through a process of performing seals with the hands."

Kakashi nodded since that is a good explanation and praised her a bit, "Good, Iruka has some good students" especially since her confidences was shot down thanks to Naruto.

"Heh" Kakashi said Sakura look at the direction of Naruto and felt something bad was going to happen again. Naruto was ignoring Sakura but Sakura wasn't going to let it go especially after all what he said to her.

He really tried to stop Sakura from blurting something insulting out but couldn't stop her in time.

"Of course someone like Naruto-baka who has no control can't even use it properly" she said with a smug look before adding, "Of course Sasuke-kun is the best at using his Chakra."

Kakashi expected for Naruto to either blurt out something insulting back to Sakura or to attack her…verbally he hoped for that but that didn't happen since Naruto turned to Sasuke and started explaining things to the Raven Haired boy much to the surprise of everyone.

"Jutsus are formed through hand-seals which are used to direct your Chakra to mold in a certain way. Each hand-seal forces your Chakra to move or shape in a different way and a string of hand-seals will form into the Chakra that will act a certain way. That is a Jutsu in a nutshell. Taking this approach the main reason why Jonin are so powerful other than the most obvious reasons is that they can shorten the number of hand-seals needed for a Jutsu. They can cut down a 20 hand-seal Jutsu into a mere 5 hand-seal one. For something simple like a Substitution Jutsu, they can do it seal-less which is another way of saying that they know how to form this Jutsu to the point they can do it even without hands. This split second speed advantage is often the decider of whether someone wins or dies. So it would be best to keep on using the Jutsus you know to a point where you can surprise someone in the speed you can use them. Power doesn't really matter that much if the enemy knows when you are attacking and can move to dodge" Naruto explained making a cross hand-seal and making a Shadow Clone-

-Before trying to hit it but with the Shadow Clone forming a quick 2 hand-seal and disappearing being replaced with a log nearby.

The Clone reappeared through the bushes waving its arm before the attention came back to the real Naruto. Kakashi was impressed, it usually took Genin a few months to get down their Basic Three to one or two hand-seals.

While basic, Kakashi knew that other countries hate how Konoha Shinobi are so good at that particular Jutsu and even more so when all they keep hitting are logs. Even if the Jutsu takes a fair bit of Chakra to use; it is a good way to surprise and take down enemies or escape with a good deal of distance.

"Hn" Sasuke surprisingly nodded to this suggestion from Naruto. Kakashi suspected the boy was thinking of firing off Fireballs from his mouth without the need of hand-seals. God if he was able to do that a month ago in the bell test…

There was another reason why doing a Jutsu seal less was impressive. It was the fact that you could instantly use a Jutsu which meant no way of telling when that Jutsu could come out of you.

Using hand-seals molds your Chakra in a certain way but also allows others who are Chakra Sensitive enough (Pretty much all Jonin and above) to tell that you are doing so.

Doing it seal less wouldn't allow you to tell if you were doing a Jutsu until it was too late.

"Aside from using Jutsus, Chakra has many benefits to anyone who processes enough of it. For example Konoha citizens whom all have at least Academy Student levels of Chakra have an extremely low chance of catching colds or diseases unless their bodies are weakened or other factors" Naruto said, "Another benefit is that Chakra can be used to enhanced your body in several ways. The most basic way is to use Chakra to boost your speed and power enhancing your muscles. However you can also use to say enhance your sense of smell through your nose or sense of hearing through your ears and so on. This can also be done in reverse blocking out your senses so you won't fall to stink bombs or flash bombs as well."

Naruto pointed a finger up, "But to do all of this effectively and not hurt yourself you need a certain amount of Chakra Control. The Leaf Exercise gives you only the most minimum amount of control to use easy Jutsus. The Enhancement Techniques I talked about requires more Chakra Control than you currently have and if you don't have that Chakra Control you either put too little Chakra in and thus waste your Chakra or too much causing damage to your nose, ears or muscles which vary according to how much Chakra you overloaded. Too much and you could permanently damage your body or even cripple yourself which is why you need more Chakra Control to do these things and especially under supervision of someone experienced like Kakashi-sensei. So any questions?"

"…."

After the surprising explanation from Naruto everyone explanations everyone was silent. Even Kakashi was since he didn't know his Blonde Student was so knowledgeable of that topic. That was the sort of thing that experienced Genin or Chunin were taught.

"How do you know all of his?" Sasuke asked shocked to the point he didn't even call Naruto a Dobe (though he knew he wasn't one and it was an ongoing gag between the two).

Naruto shrugged and said, "The library. There are who scrolls on lots of stuff that you can learn from and I've only seen the Genin section. The Chunin section is also in the library but I have no idea where Jonin find information to learn from."

"Y-You…read?!" Sakura blurted out suddenly making Kakashi sigh but even more so shocked when she pulled out a Kunai and threw it at him.

"NARUTO!"

However-

Poof.

-That Naruto turned into smoke being hit. From the bushes where the Clone Naruto was; the real Naruto came back to the team with Sasuke in shock and Kakashi looking to bury Sakura somewhere and say Zabuza killed her in the previous battle.

Glaring at the girl Kakashi warned her, "Sakura, if you dare attack a team-mate ever again, I will personally rip your arms off. It's one thing to abandon your team-mate and become worse than trash but a completely another thing to attack them and possibly kill them!" he growled.

Sakura took several steps back before falling down on the ground as she felt the killing intent that was once directed to Zabuza be directed to her, though on a much lower scale.

"Anyway" Kakashi ignored her for the moment and said, "Before Naruto started on his own explanation on something more advanced for a Genin, I was about to tell you a way to increase your Chakra Control."

Sasuke perked up to this though Naruto suspected it was going to be Tree Climbing which he was sure Sakura didn't learn it as well.

'Looks like I can start those two on Tree Climbing at least' the Jonin thought before throwing two Kunai in front of Sasuke and Sakura. Sakura…screamed due to the slight killing intent he sent her earlier but he ignored her again to at least start them on something before anything else stops him from.

Such as Naruto and Naruto.

"The exercise you two will be doing is called Tree Climbing. The premise of this exercise is to stick vertically on the tree and move up and down it using only Chakra to aid you" he explained before moving slowly to the tree and started walking up it casually making both Sasuke and Sakura gap at him.

"When you master the technique enough you can walk up like this but for now I want you two to start off with running to give you a slight boost" he ordered but neither started since they were looking at Naruto.

He seemed to understand this and asked Kakashi, "So what am I going to do Sensei? Shouldn't I be doing this same exercise as well?"

"Like you could Baka! I bet Sensei didn't want to waste time with you!" Sakura started to insult Naruto again but no one paid attention to her now. She was like background noise that you needed to filter out when something no as intellectual comes out.

"Actually Naruto already mastered this along with the next stage of this exercise; Water Walking already in his own time" Kakashi explained.

""What?!"" the two other Genin shouted at once while Naruto looked on nervously. It seemed that Naruto was surprised that he knew that he was training on his own. But he rather talk to the blonde about it alone; he could give the boy some tips here and there after all.

He created a Shadow Clone…something he shouldn't be doing in his current state but he wanted to talk to Naruto alone and he couldn't leave his other students not supervised for their training.

"Anyway you two get started while I'll talk to Naruto about what kind of training he could do" Kakashi waved to his students as he walked a fair distance away from them and hidden from sight. He looked down at the blonde whom he couldn't see his eyes currently.

Naruto was panicking right now.

How did Sensei know? How did he know? What did he find out? Was he in trouble? Was he going to say he was a spy?

He could know that he couldn't have grown so quickly like that. He was going to be punished now.

"Naru-" His Sensei started but Naruto cut him off.

"Sensei…are you mad at me?" Naruto asked Kakashi with a low tone filled with guilt.

He felt his Sensei sigh to this and became even more worried due to that. There were many things that he could do now that they were alone.

Naruto had to admit that he wasn't exactly the most close to Kakashi. Hell no one was from what he could tell. Who would know he was a Demon hater?

He didn't want to be beaten up again.

"No I'm not mad but I do believe you should've came to me directly if you were to train without the team. I need to know at what level everyone is to make the right call on what missions we do" Kakashi explained which made Naruto a bit more relieved.

"So…you don't hate me?" he asked timidly. Now was the bend or break. He hope it was neither and it was a misunderstanding.

"What?!" Kakashi exclaimed in shock, "Why would I hate you? If I did then I wouldn't have requested to be your sensei. Besides that; out of everyone I know you have the most potential."

"Eh? But Sasuke easily learn stuff from you while I have to use Shadow Clones to quickly gain the experience to keep up" Naruto blurted out. Even after a year for Naruto to train in; Sasuke was still better than him in Shurikenjutsu and the likes that involves Ninja tools…plus Taijutsu and several other things.

Hell the only things that Naruto was sure of that he was better than Sasuke is in are in the form of Chakra Reserves (Something he had way too much of), Chakra Control (Which was due to his VERY long time in practising it and Sasuke would soon get better than him in it either way), Stealth (Due to years of pranking and Trapping (Also due to years of pranking).

In everything else, Sasuke was currently better than him and it would be hard to catch up in the future even without Shadow Clones if what he knew about the Sharingan was correct.

"Really? I find that you would probably become stronger than even me in a few years or at least an equal with your massive Chakra Reserves that continue to grow and Shadow Clones to aid you. You could become like the Saindaime or even more powerful in his style of fighting" Kakashi exclaimed while placing his hands on Naruto's shoulders reassuringly.

Naruto was partly shocked. He had read the basis of the ability Hokage-jiji had with Ninjutsu. He didn't have the most powerful affinity to any jutsu nor was he the top at Genjutsu or Taijutsu. What he had was complete mastery of all 5 basic elements.

But he didn't stop there; no Hokage-jiji went further than that and somehow managed to combine jutsus together to create new stronger Jutsus with ease. And the most monstrous fact about that was that he did it alone without a Shadow Clone to aid him.

The speed in which it would take to do that was beyond even other Kages in sheer difficulty.

It also didn't help that apparently Hokage-jiji could just combine Jutsus even without releasing them when he was younger and his body could take that. The difficulty was so high Naruto doubt he could ever get to that point.

He tried; trying to make Transformed Shadow Clones failed badly and exploded on him.

But Kakashi said that he could possibly become the next Hokage-jiji in his ability…hmm…he did need a goal and what better goal was to replicate the fighting style of the Saindaime Hokage.

What Naruto didn't notice was that Kakashi was smiling down at his student. Good, his student now had a goal and he didn't doubt that in a few years there would be another 'Shinobi no Kami' in Konoha's ranks.

"Naruto" with that one word, Naruto looked up at his Sensei.

With an eye-smile Kakashi then asked, "So now that we have determined that I do NOT hate you and want the best for you; let's start with our training. I'm surprised you didn't come to me earlier. If I've known your ability I would've taken up a C-rank with the team much earlier."

Naruto's ears perked up to that.

"So you're saying if I did come to you then we were more likely to get a C rank mission early?" Naruto inquired with some shock. It seemed he didn't know that Kakashi would never take a mission with risks that would harm his team unless they could handle it.

Unless the missions was mislabelled and they had to do it anyway of course.

"Not necessarily" Kakashi shrugged it off, "But I would more likely choose a C-rank that involves subjugation rather than protection."

The two stared at each other for a few moments. One was surprised that his Sensei had that amount of trust in him despite hiding so much including about the Time Loops and the other was proud of the progress he had made in a single month since becoming a Genin.

Needless to say Naruto broke the silence first by asking, "So do you want to teach me a new Jutsu or do you want to comment on what I can do right now?"

Kakashi mused and was tempted to do the former but with Zabuza still out there and that unknown variable that was the Fake Hunter-nin; he wanted to know how much he could place on Naruto's shoulders.

"I say let's see what you got. I have a guise of it from spying on you but I don't know everything. Let's start with Ninjutsu first since you are the Ninjutsu type despite the lack of higher powered ones" he said while taking out his Orange Book.

While he wasn't completely ignoring Naruto; he really had no need to not commit to his hobbies at the same time. If Naruto was offended with this, there was no indications at all.

Naruto nodded and made three Shadow Clones. One made a single hand-seal and transformed into Kakashi, the second throwing a Kunai to the third and the last making three hand-seals and substituting with a nearby log.

"Yeah, that's pretty much all I have in the Ninjutsu department. My Transformation is top notch and can easily be done with one hand-seal, my Substitution is above average with me needing three hand-seals; I'm still working on reducing that to one hand-seal by the way and the last thing I have are Shadow Clones which can range from one to more than a thousand if I wish."

Kakashi noticed with a raised eyebrow that each executing of these Jutsu were smooth and were with a small amount of mist. A sign that Naruto had a good amount of control over the Jutsus and often used them.

"Naruto though I probably know the answer to it already but why don't you create a thousand Shadow Clones for training or battle?" Kakashi asked.

Naruto rolled his eyes and said, "Other than taking most of my Chakra with it? I find that too many Shadow Clones will just bombard me with too much information when they dispel at once. Plus it's hard to hide me using so many to train. Plus with less Chakra in each of them; they are limited in what they can do aside from charging and dying and with numbers comes a higher frequency of them dying one way or another."

Kakashi nodded understanding the difference between quantity and quality. He heard of the battle with Minato-sensei driving off Iwa by slaying the majority of their forces in one go.

That made him a Hero to Konoha and a bogeyman to Iwa at the same time.

Moving on from that, Naruto had a very good mastery with the Transformation and Substitution Jutsus.

Hell Naruto was better than some Jonin at those Jutsus from what he saw. He expected Naruto to get the Jutsus down to its seal less forms in a few years max.

However Kakashi was a bit worried about Naruto's lack of Jutsus. Well he could easily teach him a couple in a week with Shadow Clones at least. There were several which would benefit Naruto quite a bit.

The Body Flicker Jutsu for instant movement.

The Earth Style: Hidden Mole Jutsu was something that would allow him to hide underground. Though the Earth Style: Underground Projection Fish Jutsu was more effective in surprise attacks.

The Earth Style: Double Suicide Decapitation Jutsu would be another good addition to what Naruto could do.

He or one of his Shadow Clones could easily drag an enemy into the ground with it.

So in all, Kakashi had three Jutsu which would make Naruto a danger to anyone below Chunin level that worked well with his Shadow Clones…but there was the issue of his Element Affinity. If he was a Lightning Element like himself it would be difficult to learn Earth Jutsu.

But Kakashi was a person who copied a thousand jutsus and thus also mastered using all 5 basic elements to do so. He had plenty of Jutsus that Naruto could use with his massive reserves and combined with Shadow Clones.

With a flick of his page and the thoughts of which Ninjutsus Naruto would learn in the week Kakashi said, "Good enough for now but we really want to expand your Ninjutsu list in the week. Next up is Taijutsu and since I can't spar with you right now you need to use Shadow Clones against each other."

"Right."

And with that Naruto made two more Shadow Clones after he dispelled the remaining ones before making one of the Shadow Clones use the same Jutsu to split himself into 20.

Without a word, Kakashi watched as a single Shadow Clone faced against 20 Shadow Clones.

The 20 Shadow Clones rotated around the lone Shadow Clones and split into attacking close range, attacking long range or striving around seeing if there is an opening. However after a few seconds the lone Shadow Clone popped.

With a sigh Kakashi told his student, "Naruto, its better if you could fight your clone and not as a Shadow Clone. Unless you have a way to make Shadow Clones take more hits then you personally need to do this."

'Make Shadow Clones take more hits? More durable…? Hmm…that could be a good side project for me' Naruto mused before nodding and fighting against the horde of Shadow Clones that only slightly thinned out.

The Shadow Clones started off like before and Naruto knew at this rate he was going to be trapped.

He was being pushed around by dodging attacks rapidly from all sides; he had to keep a look out behind him constantly as well. However unlike a Shadow Clone, Naruto could take hits.

And he took them and slammed his fist into one Shadow Clone at a time.

After a minute of this and seeing the two styles Naruto had Kakashi halted them to say, "This area needs some work."

Naruto huffed a bit due to the workout but did not say anything else as Kakashi spoke, "While Gai is a the leading Tajutsu Master Konoha has; he doesn't have much expertise in using Shadow Clones to fight in a mass amount of them especially."

Naruto nodded, Gai was indeed straining his brain trying to find a good style for him to fight in.

"Another thing" Kakashi added, "Lose trying to use several Taijutsu styles. It's dragging you down frankly and made you weaker in your offence."

"Huh? What do you mean? My Taijutsu is finally getting better!" Naruto retort with some anger. Many Loops were spent on trying to get to his level especially with his muscle memories resetting. Seeing the anger of his student Kakashi quickly waved his hand (the one without the orange book) and said, "Oh I don't mean complete forget everything. Gai and the Hyuga Clan are good examples on how extreme Taijutsu is powerful."

"However you are neither of them and have more than enough Chakra to use high level Ninjutsus over and over again" Kakashi held a hand up, "There are no Taijutsu styles that would allow you to spend time using hand-seals without giving enemies openings. Furthermore there isn't a Taijutsu style out there that I know of that caters around a large amount of Shadow Clones…a small amount like 2-3 but not up to 20 or more."

"That is why I said not to focus on several Taijutsu styles at once" Kakashi stated, "We need to train you in the ways of using Shadow Clones in battle bit by bit. You have the right idea on 'pushing' using attacks to force someone to an area but you're not looking at the big picture here."

With an eye-smile the Jonin said, "Who said you needed to attack to manipulate someone?"

Naruto grinned as he was starting to figure what Kakashi was talking about. If attacking someone to a certain place didn't work then let them attack to that certain place? Hell by letting the enemy destroy one Shadow Clone, he could perfectly trap them in an even tighter formation.

Just as he was about to spout out on ways to do this Kakashi crushed his hopes saying, "But before that I want to see your capabilities in other areas since this along with Ninjutsu are what we are focusing on~"

"Ahhhhh…." Naruto pouted as they went through each and every area Naruto had studied under.

His level of expertise were as shown below:

Ninjutsu: Genin

Taijutsu: Genin

Genjutsu: Academy Student

Fuinjutsu: Basic level

Bukijutsu (Weapon): Low Genin

Chakra Reserves: Low Elite Jonin

Chakra Control: High Genin

Stealth: High Chunin

Trapping: Chunin

Body Strength and speed: Genin

Naruto in summary was able to break out of the most basic Genjutsus but nothing more advanced than that.

Kakashi commented he needed to learn how to identify Genjutsus in the first place and left it for later.

With Fuinjutsu, he was impressed that Naruto was already at a level where he could make good explosive notes and storage seals but needed more material to learn.

Kakashi made a note to give Naruto some of the intermediate and advance Fuinjutsu books later.

With anything weapon related Naruto was so-so being of barely Genin level. It was obvious the blonde knew how to use them but wasn't an expert in it. His aim and speed was not bad though.

With his Chakra Reserves, it was growing quickly!

He was sure it was at around Jonin levels when he graduated but in a month he was already in Elite Jonin levels. At this rate he would have Kage-level reserves by the next Chunin exams in months let alone years.

Kakashi had a feeling it was due to Naruto eating better…and his reading habits now. There were many questions on how large his physical energies must be if he had Jonin reserves with just that and nearly no spiritual energies to mix with.

In all, his Chakra Control was actually find with Naruto being able to balance leaves and tree-climb or water-walk and several combinations of that.

Kakashi actually knew some more advance versions that only ANBU are taught. He would make an exception for Naruto considering his reserves…

Kakashi knew of how good Naruto was at Stealth and Traps due to his pranks.

There was that one time that he actually managed to cover the ANBU headquarters…which was hidden as an ordinary building in orange!

Oh Kakashi knew that Naruto was going to surpass him one day-the question was when.

A/N:

Well this is the beginning of another series of Naruto training.

However now his training also includes Jutsus as what Kakashi said in the chapter. Two Jutsus in particular would really have complimented Naruto's Shadow Clones.

The Earth Style: Underground Projection Fish Jutsu and the Earth Style: Double Suicide Decapitation Jutsu are both highly underused even in Fanfiction as far as I'm concern.

I mean you have one Jutsu that lets you travel underground and another to pull others into the ground up to their heads.

This with Shadow Clones is literally asking to be used together.

Too bad I don't intent Naruto to have a easy time in the next battle on the bridge.

But more on the thing I want to talk about here, Elemental Jutsus in general.

They pretty much fall into two categories as far as I can see. Overpowered and overused and overpowered and once used.

Jutsus such as Rasengan, Chidori and so on used to the thump cards of Naruto and Sasuke in Part 1 became a stable Jutsu to often use in Part 2 to the point that it's not funny.

I mean Kakashi had Kamui which he didn't have in Part 1 but everything was the same...except that Lightning Wolf thing he used against Pein.

In part 2, both Naruto and Sasuke seemed to have developed even more powerful Jutsus than the two A-rank Finishers to use but at the same had degraded said A-rank Finsher Jutsus as battle openers of all things.

Naruto in the end had Wind Style: Rasenshuriken also fell into this trap which by the time the end of the series happened as a spamming thing as well when before when he created it he could barely make one.

Sasuke's original Jutsu Kirin? You know, that one that forced Itachi to use Susanno in battle? Yeah, that was a one time thing apparently, never to be used ever again.

Don't even make me think of all those Rasangan variants and those random Amaterasu variants as well.
