Naruto : The ultimate Troublemaker

Shikai froze for a moment, the weight of the announcement bearing down on him. Then he adjusted his cloak, his face becoming that of a Shinobi once more. DarkRai, the one who had ended the war against Kumogakure.

He used telepathy to contact his uncle, Shikaku.

["Uncle, what's going on?"]

["Don't worry about us, Shikai. The other Kages are on their way to prepare the defense of their villages."]

["I see. Do you have a plan?"]

Shikaku replied calmly, with a hint of his usual irony: ["You know, it's always good to lighten the mood, even in these moments. But yes, you should find Shikamaru. He'll explain the plan in detail. Don't rush headlong into it like last time. This isn't a war that can be won alone."]

Shikai nodded, cutting off the communication. He turned to Ino, his expression more determined. "Do you think you can keep up?"

Ino gave him a confident smile, her eyes shining with resolve. "You're underestimating me, sensei."

*Cellular Activation* and golden lightning bolts erupted around her, enveloping her body in a luminous aura.

["Yellow Flash"], she murmured before disappearing in a trail of lightning, leaving Shikai alone in a cloud of smoke.

Shikai took a deep breath and looked at where she had been a moment ago. He tapped his temple lightly, and an hologram appeared before his eyes:

[Ino Yamanaka

Age: 16 years old

Level: 40, Kage level

Release: Suiton, Raiton, Fûton, Yin

Jutsu: Secret Yamanaka Technique (modified), Suiton: S-rank, Raiton: S-rank, Yin: S-rank, Medical Jutsu: A-rank, Kenjutsu: S-rank, Taijutsu: A-rank, Sharingan three tomoe, Yellow Flash, Genjutsu: S-rank

Strengths: Genjutsu, speed]

She was indeed at the Kage level, but few could match her in battle. With Shikai's training, Ino could cast a Genjutsu based on Yamanaka techniques while using the Sharingan. The technique was similar to Kotoamatsukami, easily controlling multiple people. With a single glance, she could command the death of a hundred enemies. However, she had a weakness. The excessive amount of chakra made it ineffective against enemies with immense chakra reserves or a dojutsu. In Shikai's opinion, she would easily defeat his 15-year-old self, without the Sage Mode and not yet being the host of Reibi.

He also checked his own skills:

[Shikai Nara-Senju

Sage Mark: Toad: 100% / Snake: 100% / Slug: 0%

Kekkei Genkai: Meiton]

"I've almost completed all my marks, and my supreme body is already ready. I must say, Oroshimaru did a good job... Now, I just have to die."

Shikai had never used one of the marks, as he knew it would only destroy his body unnecessarily. And since the last time, his Sage Mode had become more perfect. He could also use the Snake Sage Mode like Oroshimaru's after obtaining Kimimaru's body, but he preferred to use only the Toad Sage Mode in this body.

"Every day, I get better at the comedy," he said, laughing, before disappearing in a violet flash, heading towards Konoha.

***

Year 62

The infirmary room was lit by a bright sun, and Hinata Hyûga, weakened, lay on a bed, her breath short, her cheeks still rosy from effort and embarrassment. Her shy gaze avoided that of the young doctor who was taking care of her. Shikai Nara, known for his extraordinary medical skills, was responsible for treating the injured during the Chunin exam. He gently placed his hands on her wound, and his soft and soothing chakra emanated from a Mystic Palm jutsu.

"Hinata-chan, you have to stop pushing yourself so hard," he said in a soft voice as he observed the damage. "It's not a big deal to lose a fight, especially when the opponent is as relentless as Neji."

Hinata blushed even more, nodding timidly. Her hands trembled slightly. She wanted to speak, but the words refused to come out.

"Hinata-chan?" Shikai asked, tilting his head, intrigued by her silence.

"M-thank you, Shikai-kun," she finally murmured, her voice barely audible.

Shikai smiled kindly at her while continuing the treatment. "You're too hard on yourself. Remember that every injury is a lesson."

Hinata nodded, but her thoughts swirled around her public humiliation. When Shikai finished, he gently patted her head.

"Rest. I'm going to talk to Neji."

Hinata watched him leave, and once the door was closed, her expression changed completely. An unusual anger rose within her, her face twisted in ugliness. Her fists clenched, and she grabbed the flower pot next to her bed, throwing it violently to the ground.

"That bastard Neji!" she spat, her face contorted with rage. "I trained him so hard... and he humiliates me in front of Shikai?! You'll pay for this, Neji!"
