74. F is for forbbiden


    <span style="font-weight:400">A while has gone by since Naruto stole the forbidden scroll and now he was sitting near the meating point with Mizuki while reading the first part of the scroll. As he did he felt a prick on his arm. A pesky mosquito had bit him. However, reality was different.


    <span style="font-weight:400">‘Looks like it worked’ Tomoka felt proud of her idea for tonight. She had just ced Naruto under a genjutsu using a needle and his sense of touch. After all, if he sees, hears or even smells something that shouldn’t be there might lead toplications down the line. However, a mosquito biting him would bepletely normal in such a dense forest at night.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Not wasting any time, Tomoka took the forbidden scroll from Naruto, unfurled it, gave the thing a quick scan and then furled it back up before leaving. The genjutsu she had ced Naruto under ended just as she left. Overall, the entire thing only took her three minutes.


    <span style="font-weight:400">‘Alright, mission sess. Now all I need to do is give the mental image a stored a proper read and see what’s up with this thing’


    <span style="font-weight:400">[You know, I thought it would be moreplicated. This feels anticlimactic]


    <span style="font-weight:400">‘Yeah, it does… but who cares! Never look a gifted horse in the mouth’ With that Tomoka began reviewing the scroll. The first thing she saw was the same thing Naruto did. The first segment of the scroll contained the information about the multi-shadow clone jutsu. Reading through it Tomoka learned a few new things.


    <span style="font-weight:400">‘So that''s how it works. This feels simr toputer programing from my previous life’


    <span style="font-weight:400">[How so?] Even though Kurama had no idea whatputer programming is, he still asked since he didn’t have anything better to do.


    <span style="font-weight:400">‘Well, you see. If we consider the ninja as aputer and jutsus as programs or methods within programs then the shadow clone jutsu has an inbuilt parameter with only two possible inputs. This parameter is the amount of clones to be made by the jutsu and the two possible inputs are either one or two. Meaning, no matter what, the shadow clone jutsu will never make more than two clones at a time.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Now, if we follow the same logic with the multi shadow clone jutsu it removes this limiter by using a looping mechanism. Instead of a predetermined possible input it loops the code the amount of times stated by the input. This results in the quick production of a certain amount of clones. However, this is also the reason why it’s dangerous and forbidden.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Like code from my past life, these things are rigid and will always follow the instructions given disregarding everything else a sapient being may consider important. For example, if someone were to use this and input something absurd like five hundred clones then the jutsu will try and do so. Even if the ninja runs out of chakra the jutsu will continue to create clones by any means possible. Which more often than not leads to the jutsu using the ninja’s life force.’


    <span style="font-weight:400">[So, only idiots that overestimate their chakra get killed by this thing] Even though Kurama didn’t understand any of the jargon Tomoka just spouted he understood the gist of it.


    <span style="font-weight:400">‘P-much yeah. Anyway, let''s check the next jutsu. We are on a clock here, I don’t want to miss Naruto beating Mizuki’ With that said, Tomoka continued reading the scroll. What came next made her pupils dte due to the sheer surprise and excitement she felt.


    <span style="font-weight:400">‘Another one of the second Hokage’s masterpieces!? The edo tensei? I didn’t know today was christmas eve!’ Tomoka felt ted. Like any good mad scientist out there she had a slight godplex. She believed that with enough resources and knowledge she could do God''s work.


    <span style="font-weight:400">‘HAhaHA With this I can tell death to go fuck itself!’


    <span style="font-weight:400">[She finally went insane]


    <span style="font-weight:400">‘No I have not Kurama, my good old foxy friend. Didn’t I promise to make a body for you and somehow link it with you so you could be freer while still staying inside of me? How did you think I would do that?’


    <span style="font-weight:400">[To tell the truth I didn’t believe you, it just sounds too insane to be true]


    <span style="font-weight:400">‘Well you are in for a fucking surprice caus I wasn’t shiting you. Let me tell you about the awesomeness of technology my furry friend!’
