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.

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—they were childish and simple, but they wer...
2023-09-30 17:42:30 +0000 UTC View PostTakuma 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 of how long it took to get the pass f...

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 before Takuma was a daily guest in her...

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 was a wee...
2023-09-25 11:17:04 +0000 UTC View PostWell, 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't decided a concrete list. So, if ...
2023-09-20 04:23:44 +0000 UTC View PostTakuma 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 to him.
“Thanks fo...
2023-09-19 07:36:35 +0000 UTC View PostTakuma 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 shipped off to war for who knew how long...

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.

2023-09-16 14:59:03 +0000 UTC View PostThe 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 ordered him to carry it in case he n...

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 wh...
2023-09-12 11:37:41 +0000 UTC View PostSo, 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—

2023-09-11 21:24:53 +0000 UTC View PostTakuma 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 natural as breathing, was a miserable e...

The facility was built deep underground, going further than any similar facili...
2023-09-10 04:06:29 +0000 UTC View PostTakuma 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 the smell of disinfe...
2023-09-08 00:46:18 +0000 UTC View PostIn 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 the time she tucked herself in bed....
2023-09-05 23:11:21 +0000 UTC View PostTakuma 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#4’s we...
2023-09-04 02:02:54 +0000 UTC View PostTakuma 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 sound of the heavy...

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 small concess...
2023-08-28 22:58:04 +0000 UTC View PostTakuma 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 No#3.

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— perhaps only chapter length or a bit more.
“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 her to a meal. He d...

2023-08-15 17:13:03 +0000 UTC View PostTakuma 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.

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 did that, he would ...
2023-08-04 21:17:56 +0000 UTC View PostEarth Release: Hardening Jutsu
Takuma 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 of sand in...
