Why do authors make water style in Naruto water bending?

I don't get it it's explained clearly ninjas are able to change chakra into elements and High level ninjas are able to use pre-existing elements, people use Tobirama's feat by ANBU in part one but it's kinda wrong Tobirama's feat was noticeable because he was using water from air instead of making his own water.

What do you think is the right quantity in a jutsu arsenal?

I'm talking about jutsu in a designated fighting style.

For example, Kakashi - Raikiri (finisher), Mud Wall (usual defense), copying enemy jutsu (side trick), dog summons (rare support), Kamui (ace in a hole).

I was actually thinking about how I would regulate the skillset for my version of Naruto. Basically, in my "Part 1", he started as a more refined and skilled version of Canon with some extra:

  • Mainly a raw chakra specialist. He accidentally learned chakra absorption, which is NOT Ninjutsu absorption (and it won't be). Think of Yoroi (the guy Sasuke fought in the Chunin Preliminaries) but Naruto honed this ability further. He's also more tactical with Henge and Shadow Clones (it helps that Naruto started at basic clones and learned Shadow Clones at a later date).

  • Mainly a Lightning Style user but has 1-2 offensive Wind style and one defensive Earth Style.

But as a teen, something happened in my version of a timeskip that Naruto completely remade his fighting style.

  • Doesn't use elemental jutsu much at all in favor of something (I won't tell but it's not a Bloodline or any other nonsense like that). This Naruto basically doubled down on non-elemental jutsu.

  • Doesn't rely much on clones for duels. Naruto basically expanded it into a strategic asset so he does it more for information gathering and mass communication over large distances.

  • This older Naruto... is actually kind of like Teen Boruto in terms of how he approach his fights. Efficiency, mobility and strategy over immediate firepower. No, this Naruto doesn't use a sword. He doesn't have Hiraishin. He doesn't even use Kurama's chakra (it's a spoiler as to why). He occasionally use claws for melee but fights more like a silent prowler rather than a wild hunter like Kiba.

What kinds of fics do you think the fandom needs more of, and what kinds do you think are way over-exploited?

The title. The fanfic community for this fandom has gone on for a loooong time and so it is inevitable that it has taken on specific trends. So I kinda wondered: what kinds of stories would you like to see more of? what kinds would you want to see less or completely gone for a while? Would variety be good at all for the fandom?

"The Child Needs To Die"

It was a beautiful night in Konoha, Minato, the 4th Hokage was tired. Extremly tired, it was almost 2 AM. And so, he teleported to his statue to admire the environnement. Suddenly, he heard kunais being thrown on trees. He sensed chakra from a skilled ninja. He couldn't deduce who it was and so, he used Body Flicker to go to that place, right above the forestwith the Hokages' head staues.

Arriving there, he sees Shisui Uchiha panting after a long session of intense training. He sees trees, kunais on those said trees. Lots of intertwined threads, as if Shisui's training his agility and precision. It seemed like a very good uchiha training method. It consisted of threads spread around the training grounds, those threads could detect any movement at certain speeds, the faster you are to hit the 'targets' while moving around, the better you will be.

Those targets could be anything with chakra. It could be a toy imbued with chakra, anything really.

Minato was surprised by how well thought out it was. Each thread seemed like a new obstacle that would require adaptability while having to hit multiple "targets". The first word Minato said was :

"Wow" followed by "Great discipline and training method, who taught you that ? And what's that weird fox doing here ? It's a sort of chakra target right ?".

Shisui smiled, before saying " Yes, precisely. I'm also training by myself most of the time, it's just experience I guess."

Minato: "Shisui Uchiha, hmmm... Let me ask you a question, Shisui" said before yawning due to tiredness. "Let's take a child, this child has a project, to make his mom and dad together again."

Shisui's face expression obviously showed intrigueness, and also a shock that the 4th has such personality. This weird problem, he'd solved lots of problems in the past but this one was... bizzare. Which attracted even more of his attention.

Minato followed by saying : "The dad is powerful, but has hurt the mom alot. The mom was kind, but too passive, she wasn't communicating her feelings. And the only time she'd done it, it was to either tell dinner was ready or talk to herself. The dad has put alot of mental charge in the mom. And the kid, was aware of it all.The kid wants them to be together, but how ? One has money, power but lacks comprehension. The other has comprehension, emotional intelligence, but lacks the confidence and power to express them properly, or to defend herself.

What's your take on this ?".

Shisui said, with a cold, almost robotic face, "The child needs to die."

Minato got shook by this answer, his eyes widened when he saw what Shisui just said. "The child needs to die ?"

"Yes" retorted Shisui:"If the child dies, the mom and dad will do introspective analysis on what was wrong, what went wrong. And now, they will need to protect their respective images, their conscience. By making such an event, the mom and dad will likely get back together. The dad is rich and powerful, yet lacks communication skills. The mom has the other but lacks power.

Both of them are juxtaposed.

They will try to make up for their mistakes. Their parents' mistakes, I could even argue that this is how the shinobi world works. When trauma impacts emotionally, multiple parties like a "child's death". All of those said parties won't try to fight each other but rather, they'll try their hardest to find a solution to a problem."

What Shisui said felt robotic, too precise, and yet irrational for Minato.

But a fire in the 4th's heart revived, a fire that signified excitment and progress.

They had found him, found the person who will be the principal coordinator of an ENA project.

His reasoning felt instinctive, but it felt right, extremly, precisely right. And so, without a word, Minato left. The 4th's eyes sensed a part of truth in Shisui's answer, but an answer which hid his true personality. An answer that was too robotic, too perfect.

He left Shisui bamboozled.

In Shisui's POV, all he did was answer a weird question from the hokage, who just suddenly leaves with a smile on his face ?

What was the point of this ? Why would he ask that question ? What's inside the 4th's mind ?

What do you think Shisui actually believes here ? Is the answer purely analytical or does he mean something else?

Fic where Sakura is dating a new guy every month?

Looking for a fun rom-com-esque fic I think from Fanfiction.net where its a modern AU and Sakura dates a new guy every month.

I think Itachi was the first guy? Or at least was the man for January because it loops back to him in the end lol

LF ao3 fic that deals with the effects of Sasuke's "fans"

I was reading through the Trust Your Nose series and there was a Sasuke & Asuma exchange where he was trying to manipulate his reputation, but also suddenly realizing how screwed up his "fan club" was as both a concept and as a thing that every adult around him allowed, if not encouraged. He has a few more moments of being drastically effected by being treated as a piece of meat, expected to breed regardless of his wishes, and it hit me that I don't usually see any of that addressed (save for Orochimaru being a creeper, which does not scratch the itch). A slaughter orphan is being stalked and harassed every day of his life by adults and children, growing up with the expectation that he'll "rebuild the clan" for the good of the village. That's whack, I want to see the child cry. :3

I don't really have much of a genre preference, but I do tend towards longer stories. Short fics that only focus on the concept are fine by me, but if anyone has an epic in mind that works it into long-term character growth that would be aces. Obliterate canon world building as needed, I have several authors who did great things with the building blocks Kishimoto provided, so staying true-ish to canon is pretty low-priority. Honestly, I won't even mind if Team 7 gets broken up; inter-team exchange fics (sort of TYN) or new teams from the beginning (like Team Psych) can be fascinating.

(The TYN series is technically more focused on Naruto, but Sasuke has some great growth if youre a fan of his that hasnt gone down the 'Naruto raised by his accidental summons' route of finding new works. Team Psych has no Sasuke, but Naruto doing infiltration/espionage work like his skillset deserves is lovely and Shilamaru is far kinder as a third than Sasuke.)

Villain Kushina fics?

Are there any fics where Kushina is a villain?

And I'm don't mean just her being regretful. Straight up villain on the level of Orochimaru or the Akatsuki.

I have always wondered about something

I have been very curious for a while about Elemental Affinities. When Naruto was training to make his own jutsu through wind manipulation training. We saw Naruto go through step 1 and step 2 of elemental training. What are the other training methods for the other elements? Are there any more levels? Is there a training step to gain mastery over an element? Is there anything for sub elements like Wood? I have been so curious and wondered what your thoughts are or if there is a fanfiction that shows these steps or mentions what they are?

Is it possible to have a jutsu or sage mode that allows a blind person to see?

I was creating a blind OC character and I wondered if this was possible. I feel like I wouldn't be able to fight with just heightened senses, so I'd need something more. Something interesting would be a jutsu that allows one to see like a sixth sense, but that not only allows one to sense presences but to see directly, and if that is not possible then at least only sense presences. Perhaps it could also be a Wise mode with a super sense that allows one to feel reality itself. I don't know if this is possible, even Naruto in SPSM can't see directly without eyes.

Now that I think about it, wasn't there a character in the Sasuke Retsuden novel who used a jutsu to see because he was blind? I think his name was Zansul. And if I remember correctly...And if I remember correctly, I think it was said that the Otsutsuki with the moon-sealed eyes also had jutsus to see.

Archived thread found - The Arrangment by Yuugiri

Found a random archived thread about a gaara x ino fic where ino is gaara's partner for a month. They never found it but I found it, its one of the few remaining completed gaara x ino fics. Figured I'd add it here incase they still follow the sub (and for anyone else who enjoys the rarepair!)

https://m.fanfiction.net/s/7704752/1/The-Arrangement

Ino acts as Gaara's fiance for a month to help Gaara escape the council's plans to force him to marry. They fall in love but Ino can't get out of the mission headspaces/feels the blurred lines. They cut the mission short when the coucil throws a final blow in the form of planning their whole wedding to celebrate them finally believing in them being together. It is happy ending.
