Naruto- Secret Sage

Done

I more than most understood that my cranes frozen power wasn't nearly as simple as it first appeared. For many the sheer fact that he could freeze things in a short period of time was all they needed to know but I had personally verified that there was more to the power than that. Shiro's ability didn't just freeze things but directly ceased all movements of the atoms that comprised it in an area around him. Besides the insane chakra cost the only weakness the ability had was that it didn't really have any ranged application.-

It was sort of like a flamethrower in that while you COULD hit something in the distance with it everything between you and that target also gets burnt or frozen in this case. The only really difference was that Shiro could sort of control the precision of the ability to minimize collateral damage, yes minimize not remove. Even after my transformation I got a deep sense of unease whenever Shiro used it's ability in close proximity to myself so I didn't doubt at all that Dust release that was absolutely more destructive in nature could outright kill me or at the very least get close.-

Anyways after that matter was done with I turned my attention fully on completing my chakra armor technique. All that I had left was the head but that was the most dangerous of all the parts of the body as one wrong move meant death. Ironically it was also the easiest to work on as it held the second densest collection of chakra veins and points in the body meaning less trouble for me to use chakra there. That said it was so dangerous that I didn't practice creating the armor there at all unless my sensei was nearby in case of emergency.-

Creating a half mask of chakra armor over my mouth and nose went smoothly but when I got to my eyes and higher things got dangerous. My transformation had created new chakra veins to my eyes that I was still getting used to so the chakra I exerted around them was rather unstable. Something I discovered by accident and put a damper on things was that I couldn't actually create chakra armor over my eyes as my eyes activated every time I tried and dispelled it.-

Finally after a month of effort with myself and my sensei I completely covered my entire body save two holes over my eyes with my armor.

"So it's finally done huh?" my sensei said as she looked over my completed armor.

From an outside perspective it was an almost otherworldly thing as it was almost perfectly smooth bright glowing blue energy with no features at all in it's standard configuration. It was like if you took a human and removed all signs of hair, muscles, bone structure and skin and replaced it with a being of pure energy that was shaped like a human but lacked any discernable features.

"Indeed, all that is left is to master using it and the entire process would be complete." I said pleased with the result.

"It sort of reminds me of the state a jinchuriki can enter by releasing their tailed beasts power. Less chaotic though that's for sure." she said honestly as I withdrew the chakra that made up the armor.

"Hmmm, I haven't seen that state myself but there are records of it from the jinchuriki's of the cloud and mist using it in battle. If I ever get the chance to see it myself I might make comparisons." I said calmly.

"What are your plans now that you won't be spending the majority of your time working on this technique?" she asked with a mischievous glint in her eyes.

"I'm not taking any students so you can drop that idea." I said and she clicked her tongue.

"That obvious huh?" she asks with a slightly annoyed look.

I chuckle "You've been trying to convince me to take students for quite some time now so it's not odd that I'd figure out what you were after given the timing of your previous question. Besides I have taken a look at the current graduating class of the academy and none of them are worth my time." I said honestly.

I meant it too as while the class had some decent talent in it none of it's members had any obvious talents that would make them worth me giving them the time to train under me. A bit arrogant that may sound but my pride had nothing to do with it in truth. The way I think and my personality simply weren't that great for teaching others and even came across as condescending if I wasn't careful.-

Hell the only reason Naruto was able to learn from me despite this was that he had long since gotten desensitized to who I was as a person and knew I wasn't intentionally being mean, most of the time anyways. With this in mind the only way I could justify taking a student would be if they were talented to an extreme degree or special in some way that applied to me specifically. That didn't mean I didn't understand where my sensei was coming from as her being the Hokage meant she had to worry about the long term strength of the village and that meant trying to get the powerful shinobi of the village to hopefully pass that power on.-

For anyone else that might be enough for them to take a student but I was both extremely young for the power I held and likely to outlive the grandchildren of the grandchildren of the students coming from the academy this year. I was a sage and that meant if I wasn't killed I had a VERY long life ahead of me. The funny bit was that I STILL wasn't at the peak of my power as my body was still only fourteen years old.-

I still had at least another six years before my body stopped maturing and another thirty after that before I "supposedly" shouldn't be able to improve my body any further. This was based on normal shinobi standards mind you and only the gods knew if it still applied to me or if I'd simply never stop growing in power. I believe that theoretically the limit of my power was that of the entire world all at once but I had no clue beyond speculation. I am referring to being able to effectively control the entire world all at once rather than literally being able to create planet sized attacks.-

Even still that was a mind boggling level of power on it's own that honestly couldn't be considered any less than godly. Then again this was purely theory to me at this point as I simply hadn't the information to assume further. 

"Can't blame me for trying. We only have three S rank shinobi in the village at the moment and one of them is wandering the land with our jinchuriki who knows where. We are not in an ideal position in terms of power if a war were to break out." she said with a sigh.
