-3rd POV-
In a dark cave there was a man sitting on a chair made of earth with something attached to his back.
He had spiky white hair, his eyes were like pools of darkness, and with his thin body, he wore a simple black outfit, as black as the night itself. His name was Madara, Uchiha Madara.
"Madara-sama, we have news." A voice broke the silence. Madara opened his eyes, his Sharingan eyes scanning the room before focusing on the white figure emerging from the ground. It was one of his loyal subordinates.
"What is it?" Madara's voice was deep and commanding.
"Nagato used Rinnegan's power, but I don't know if he did it on purpose or not." The subordinate spoke.
"What do you mean, you don't know?" Madara's tone was sharp.
The white creature laughed nervously, "I can't go near the village because there's a creepy creature that knows my whereabouts, I've even been beaten by it, look at this." He said as he pointed to his face, where there was a vertical scratch next to his right eye. He added, "The others disappeared after trying to approach the village."
Madara leaned back in his chair, his expression unreadable. "The creepy creature... Who is it? Describe it to me," he demanded, his voice laced with curiosity.
The subordinate shivered, recalling the encounter. "It's a cat, Madara-sama. It's incredibly fast and elusive. It seems to be protecting the village."
"...."
Madara's expression did not change, it was just that Madara could not understand how his subordinates could be afraid of a cat?
A cat.
It's not like they are facing a tailed beast.
"...."
"So, what do you think, Madara-sama?" The subordinate asked nervously.
Madara sighed, "Just watch from a distance, I don't have any plans for him now."
"Oh right, In the village where Nagato lived, there was also a little boy who defeated hundreds of ninjas from Hidden Rock." The subordinate continued.
Madara's eyebrows shot up, his curiosity piqued. "A child with such power? Interesting. What is his name?"
"They call him Haruto, Madara-sama. He used such a powerful explosion, I don't know if it was a jutsu or not. Oh, I also saw him fighting with a ninja from a distance, and he managed to defeat him." The subordinate reported.
Madara's interest grew, "Tell me more about this 'Haruto'."
"Umm... Madara-sama, have you forgotten that there's a cat in the village? I don't know anything about it except its name." The subordinate said, laughing nervously.
"...."

"So... we have lost contact with our reconnaissance team in the Land of Rain?" Onoki, the Third Tsuchikage, frowned at the report on his desk.
His assistant replied with a slight bow, "Yes, Tsuchikage-sama."
Onoki pondered the information, his eyes narrowing as he thought of the potential implications. Could it be that Hidden leaf had made a move? Or the hidden sand?
"Send a search party to investigate," Onoki ordered, his voice firm. "I want to know what's going on over there, and if there's any sign of trouble, I want to be informed immediately."
The assistant nodded, "Understood, Tsuchikage-sama." He quickly retreated from the room to carry out the order.
Onoki wondered how Hidden Leaf's reinforcements had arrived so quickly. Even Hidden Rock had lost contact with the scouting party that had defeated Hidden Leaf earlier.
Could there be a spy in the hidden rock village?
Onoki couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. He had to be cautious.
---|||---
"We've lost contact with our team in the Land of Rain." Said the ninja from Hidden Leaf.
Sakumo, the White Fang of the Leaf, sat in the dimly lit room with a furrowed brow, listening to the reports with growing concern.
"A week has passed and no one has sent any information." Said one of the ninjas.
Sakumo's eyes were glued to the map of the Land of Rain, his hand tracing the path the team had taken. His mind raced, trying to piece together what could have happened. The disappearance of their men could mean anything from a simple misunderstanding to an all-out attack.
"What about Hokage-sama's order?" Sakumo asked his assistant.
The ninja paused before answering, "He wants us to remain vigilant and be prepared for any eventuality."
Sakumo paused for a moment as he thought about something. "Send a team to investigate, but keep it low profile," he instructed. "We don't want to cause any unnecessary alarm or conflict."
"Understood." the ninja nodded and swiftly disappeared to carry out the order.
Sakumo paused for a moment as he thought about something, "What about Jiraiya, Tsunade and Orochimaru?" Sakumo asked the other ninja.
The ninja looked at him with a hint of apprehension, "They're on a mission to gather intel on the Hidden Rain's military movements. They should be back in a few days."
Sakumo nodded, his gaze never leaving the map. "Keep me informed of any developments." he said.
The ninja nodded and left the room, leaving Sakumo to his thoughts.

How can I put it?
"...."
It works.
I made a simple seal with the alphabet, the seal I made is just a seal that activates and glows when you put chakra into it. Just make a formula with things like input, connection, processing and output.
Yes, in each formula I only need to enter the command that is connected to the next formula, if I want to make it more complex then there will be a lot of different commands in one formula. For example, in the Input formula, I enter 15% of my chakra, which is connected by the Connection formula in each formula.
The original form could be Input-Connection-Processing-Connection-Output. With the command in the processing formula, the 15% chakra is processed by the existing command, then connected to the output formula to give the result of the 15% chakra that has been processed, and with the command in it, the result that has been obtained can be projected or released, depending on how the command is made.
And there was something interesting when I tried to use random letters of the alphabet, you could say I wrote a word with no meaning at all and the seal didn't work.
I even tried to use a word where one of the letters was unclear or not connected at all. And the result was the same, the seal didn't work.
Maybe that's why Fuinjutsu user learn to write calligraphy first, so that they don't make mistakes like the seal not activating because the writing isn't clear or appropriate.
"...."
It's not easy to learn to write seals, but it's not difficult either.
Well, the first time I tried it, it didn't work. So I thought it wouldn't work, but I tried something else, I wrote it with chakra added to the ink, I thought the user of the sealing jutsu would just use regular ink and put chakra into the seal, it turns out the ink was also infused with chakra.
So how do you turn chakra into ink?
"...."
I saw in the anime that Orochimaru used some kind of seal on Naruto, he just used his hand with chakra.
So... it's not ink, it's chakra?
"...."
Wait a minute, can I combine my shirt with the paper seal as well?
"...."
I fused my shirt with the seal paper I made. I saw many options, like the explosive tag I had changed. I could make my clothes indestructible.
Indestructible is the strangest option on this menu.
"...."
Then add and change the seal, glow in the dark?
That's nice, but no.
A seal that absorbs chakra-based attacks?
That is good.
A seal that can store chakra?
Combined with a seal that absorbs chakra, I can have a chakra battery, I can also put the chakra in my inventory into that seal.
I also want a seal that reflects attacks, but if all attacks are reflected, how can I absorb chakra from enemy attacks?
Maybe I can set it to not reflect chakra-based attacks.
What about Genjutsu?
Can I add an anti-genjutsu seal?
"...."
Oh, is that called anti-genjutsu?
I don't think so, it's just a seal that disrupts the flow of chakra in the body, of course it's effective against genjutsu users.
But what about the Sharingan?
If I'm hit by genjutsu from the Sharingan, I might still be able to free myself with this seal.
But what about the Mangekyo Sharingan?
Tsukuyomi, for example, will I be able to break free?
Maybe I can wear glasses with anti-genjutsu seals, or it falls under the category of chakra-based attacks, so I'll probably add chakra-based attack-absorbing seals as well.
Or an eye protection seal so that Mangekyo Sharingan users can't make eye contact with me.
What about kotoamatsukami?
This genjutsu doesn't even require eye contact to perform.
"...."
It looks like I'll have to make my own seal to detect and thwart genjutsu attacks.
But first, what if I combine my clothes with iron or steel?
Could I get the same result as the paper I made for Konan?
"...."
With the existing seals and strong resistance, I can use this outfit on others, with the proper safeguards and precautions, of course, such as seals that make the outfit unwearable to anyone but its owner, then seals that give me a signal if the person wearing it betrays me, tracking seals, seals that can immobilise it, seals that can teleport it to me. Or, simplest of all, I can just take it and keep it in my inventory, because anything I make is bound to be marked.
I could also make a useful seal for Konan, such as a storage seal for his paper, but that might not be necessary as I could just use a connecting seal for Konan to retrieve her paper from my inventory.
"...."
Wait, I can also create a gravity seal to train our bodies.
"...."
There were so many things to do, but I thought, I want to go to sleep now, I don't know how long I've been here.
"Alright, I'm going to bed," I said, stretching my back.
I left my workshop and saw that the others were asleep. I slowly made my way to my bed, careful not to wake them. As I lay down, I closed my eyes, my mind racing with excitement and anticipation for the next day's experiments.
I soon fell asleep, lulled by the rhythmic sounds of the rain outside.
---|||---
The next morning, I woke up feeling rejuvenated.
"Nya!" Ame's meowing pulled me out of my thoughts. She was sitting on my chest, her paws poking at my face.
"All right, all right." I chuckled, picking her up and bringing her to my face, burying my face in her belly fur. She squirmed and purred.
"Nn... Nyaa..." Ame's purring grew louder as I nuzzled her belly, her claws tickling my cheeks.
I sat up, setting Ame aside gently. "Let's get some breakfast."
The smell of cooking food filled the clinic as Fuso and Konan was already in the kitchen, preparing breakfast for everyone. She looked over her shoulder and smiled warmly when she saw me. "Good morning, Haruto-kun. How did you sleep?"
"Like a rock." I replied, returning her smile.
Fuso chuckled, her eyes twinkling with amusement.
I stretched my arms, the fabric of my new shirt flexing slightly as I moved. It felt surprisingly comfortable.
"What do you think of the new look?" I asked Ame, who was now grooming herself on the table.
"Nyappo," she responded, flicking her tail dismissively before jumping off the table to follow me.
We eat peacefully, the warmth of the food and the company washing away the fatigue.
---|||---
After breakfast, I took Konan to my workshop to show her the results of my creation.
"Konan, look at this," I said, holding up the shirt with a proud smile. "I've incorporated the seals into the clothing, plus it has the durability of steel. So now it's like a portable chakra battery and defence system."
Her eyes widened in amazement as she took the shirt from my hands, examining it closely. "This is incredible, Haruto."
I just smiled, "I want to give you this too." I took the explosive tags I had changed on Konan.
"These are... " She looked at the tags in wonder. "Do they have the same properties as the paper you made?"
"Yes," I nodded. "They're now much safer and more reliable."
"Oh, you can also use Paper Pigeons: Watcher formation," I suggested. "The birds will keep an eye on the village from the skies."
Konan's eyes lit up with excitement. "This is brilliant, Haruto! It's like having our own scouting team."
We spent the morning discussing and explaining the seals on the explosive tags, and Konan managed to make a lot of paper pigeons, which caught Ame and Ranko's attention. They watched with curiosity as the paper birds fluttered around the room, their eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Nya!" Ame leapt up, her eyes following the paper pigeons as they danced through the air.
"Careful, Ame." I chuckled, watching her jump and swipe at the birds playfully.
Konan and I looked at each other, our eyes sparkling with excitement. "We should test these out." she suggested.
I nodded my head in agreement, "But before that, let me modify your clothes first."
"Okay." Konan handed me her outfit, and I went to work.
Using the same process, I did it quickly and easily.
Konan put on her new outfit and the excitement was palpable as we walked to the training ground outside the clinic. Ame and Ranko followed behind us.
"Ready?" I asked.
Konan nodded eagerly, her eyes reflecting the excitement of a child opening a new toy. "Let's do it."
Konan performs hand seal, "Paper pigeons: Watcher formation."
A flock of paper pigeons shoots into the sky, their movements swift and precise. They disperse in different directions.
"They're beautiful." Konan murmured, watching them disappear into the horizon.
"Now, let's test out my new outfit," I said, handing her a stick. "Hit me as hard as you can."
Konan looked at the stick, then back at me. With a deep breath, she swung the stick with all her might, aiming for my side.
*Thwack!*
The stick hit the side of my new shirt with surprising force, but the shirt held firm and absorbed the blow without a scratch. Even the stick broke and I didn't feel anything.
"Wow, that's... amazing!" she exclaimed, her eyes wide with wonder.
"Yeah, it's pretty handy." I said with a grin.
Then we train our bodies with gravity seals, pushing ourselves to new limits.
While we were training, I was thinking about the hyperbolic time chamber in Dragon Ball. I wondered if I could make something like that? If I can't do it with dimensions, maybe I can make a room that has the same effect.
Maybe I can do it with a seal?
"...."
I think I'll try to create my own hyperbolic time chamber.

"Finally, I can sleep in a comfortable place." Jiraiya said when they arrived at the hidden leaf camp. His eyes were tired from the long journey, and his body was sore from the constant vigilance.
"This place is much better than the last one." Tsunade added, her voice filled with relief as she set down her medical supplies.
Orochimaru remained silent, his gaze distant as he contemplated the information they had gathered from their mission.
Before they reached their tent, Sakumo was waiting for them. His eyes searched their faces, looking for signs of trouble.
"You're back." he said, his tone neutral.
Tsunade nodded, "Yes, we've returned." She gestured to the ninja who had accompanied them. "And we have some information that might be of interest."
Sakumo's gaze sharpened as he took the scroll from the ninja's outstretched hand. He unfurled it and began to read the detailed report of their findings in the Land of Rain.
"Let's talk about this in my tent." Sakumo said, his expression unreadable.
"I thought I would rest immediately, but it turns out that there are still things to do." Jiraiya complained.
"This is war, after all, so we can't take things like this lightly. But don't worry, I'll give you a day's rest." Sakumo said comforting Jiraiya.
"...."
"Can I have one more day?" Jiraiya tried to negotiate.
Sakumo turned and gave Jiraiya a smile, "One day or nothing."
Jiraiya nervously nodded his head.
The three shinobi followed him into Sakumo's tent.
Sakumo sat behind a small wooden table, the scrolls laid out before him. He looked up at Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru.
"So... this week the Hidden Rain Village received hundreds of explosive tags, weapons and rations from unknown senders?" Sakumo asked, raising an eyebrow as he scanned the report.
Jiraiya nodded, his eyes sparkling with curiosity. "Yes, it seems someone is providing them with support." he said, stroking his chin.
"Perhaps between Hidden Sand or Hidden Rock?" Tsunade speculated, her brow furrowed.
"Even if we know, it doesn't really change the flow of the battle, whether it's one on one, two on one, or even three on one. We must always be prepared and vigilant." Sakumo added, "But it's most likely that Hidden Rain's supplies came from Hidden Rock." Sakumo said, his voice laced with suspicion.
"What about the hidden sand?" Orochimaru, who had been silent, finally opened his voice.
Sakumo looked up from his scrolls, "That may be, but I suspect they're keeping their distance from the conflict for now."
"That's why I need you, if hidden sand moves, I can deal with it and you can focus on your next mission." Sakumo said.
The three ninjas nodded their heads in agreement.
"You three can rest now." Sakumo said firmly. "Your mission was successful, and now we know more about the situation in the Land of Rain."
They nodded, understanding the urgency of the situation but also feeling the weight of their exhaustion.

I, along with other residents, repaired the buildings, not all of them, just the necessary ones.
"Nice work, everyone." I said, wiping the sweat from my brow. The villagers looked tired but satisfied with the progress we had made.
The sight of their revitalised homes brought smiles to their faces.
"Thank you, Haruto-sama" one of the villagers said, bowing in gratitude.
"Don't mention it," I replied, smiling.
The villagers began to disperse and return to their daily routines. The sense of unity was strong and their collective efforts had made a tangible improvement to the village. As the days passed, the paper pigeons continued to serve as our eyes in the sky, sending back valuable information about the surrounding areas.
Oh, and let's not forget the patrol led by Ame and Ranko, whose members are children from the village.
Ame looked at me with her usual smug look. "Nyaaon."
I chuckled, "You're really taking this patrol thing seriously, aren't you?"
"Nyappo!" Ame answered proudly, flicking her tail.
I asked the villagers who could make clothes to make special clothes so that the children would be more enthusiastic. And from the finished clothes, I modified them to keep them safe.
And now the children, all wearing the new clothes I had modified for them, were eager to help defend the village. They had appointed themselves as the village's Guardians, and their enthusiasm was both heart-warming and reassuring.
I saw children who were happy with their new looks, but there was one child who didn't care about her appearance, but she still looked at Ame with admiration, well I also gave Ame a necklace that I had modified, after all Ame didn't want to wear the special clothes that were made for her.
"Ame-sama." she called out, her eyes sparkling with admiration. "You are very beautiful and strong too. Can I be like you when I grow up?"
I couldn't help but smile, how can you want to be a cat when you grow up, or maybe she wanted to be beautiful and strong too. That must be it.
"You really like Ame, huh? What's your name?'" I asked the young girl. Well, I'm as young as they are.
"I'm Amaya." she replied shyly, her eyes not leaving Ame.
"Amaya, you can be as strong and beautiful as Ame if you work hard and believe in yourself." I said with a warm smile. Her cheeks flushed with excitement, and she nodded eagerly.
"But can you tell me why you admire Ame so much?" I asked, curious about the girl's perspective.
Amaya looked up at me with a spark in her eyes. "Ame-sama is brave and protects us. She's like a hero," she said, her voice filled with admiration. "Ame-sama saved me from the evil creatures in the forest!"
"Is that right?" I looked at Ame, who was now sitting on a fence.
"Nya!" Ame seemed to acknowledge Amaya's words with a proud meow.
"Well, Ame is indeed special." I said, "Can you tell me who the evil creature is you are talking about?"
Amaya nodded vigorously. "They were like humans, but their bodies are white and their shapes are quite strange, and some of them came out of the ground and trees!" she exclaimed, her eyes wide with the memory of fear. "Ame-sama scared them off and chased them back into the forest."
"Hmm." I mused, White Zetsu?
I guessed it, there must be White Zetsu around, luckily there is Ame, but does Ame have the ability to detect White Zetsu?
"...."
Looks like I'm going to have to add a few more detection seals.
"Ame is great." I stroked Ame's head gently.
"Nyappo," she purred contentedly.
"Well, you can do your job." I added, "But be careful." I looked at Ame and Ranko, "Please keep an eye on them, OK?"
"Nyon!" Ame jumped down from the fence, her tail waving like a banner. "Caw!" Ranko echoed her enthusiasm, flapping her wings.
"Thank you, Ame-sama!" Amaya said, her voice quivering with excitement. "Thank you, Ranko-sama!"
"Nyaa! Caw!" Ame and Ranko responded in unison, their tails waving as they led the group of children into the forest for their patrol.
