Naruto- Secret Sage

Status quo

"Show off." Karin said with a wide smile.

"Seemed like a good idea so I did it." I said honestly.

Meanwhile in the village proper the coordinators of the festival and my sensei were all trying to figure out if this little show of mine was supposed to happen or not. They weren't concerned about damages ort anything as it was clearly a big flashy thing that was harmless but none of them could figure out if it was supposed to happen or not. I thought this was rather hilarious when I learned about it the next day since Karin ratted me out to my sensei.-

My sensei was less amused because of the extra work it gave her since it hadn't in fact been part of the planned spectacle. 

"You can't deny that it was a fitting end to the festival though right?" I asked with a grin.

"That's not the point Damnit! I had an extra hours worth of paperwork to file after that stunt you pulled that I'll have to refile now that I know the truth of the matter." She complained angrily.

"I have no idea why you don't just use shadow clones for this stuff, like yeah it'd give you a bit of a headache after you dispel them but the work would be over WAY faster." I pointed out unbothered by her anger.

"It's tradition at this point, no previous Hokage used shadow clones like that so it's expected that I shouldn't either." she said with a tired sigh.

"Bah, you already broke tradition by becoming hokage in the first place so going a little further to make your job easier shouldn't be a big deal." I said with a scoff.

"I don't know, the elder council might kick up a fit if I broke even more tradition." she said skeptically.

"That reminds me but shouldn't those old folks retire already. Like I'm not saying that they haven't done a decent job of it or anything since you know the village IS still here. But maybe they should let some shinobi who are younger take over now." I suggested seriously.

"It'd never go through, those old farts are practically glued to those seats and won't give them up without a fight." She said shaking her head.

"They have children right? Why not have them set up a vote for a successor like with the positions of Hokage and let those people win the spots? This way they would have no reason to be dissatisfied AND we would get people not so stuck in the past in those seats so we could try to actually change things, modernize if you would?" I offered a solution and she looked thoughtful.

"That's not a terrible idea, though I'd need at least a little help from the clan leaders for it to go through." she said seriously with her hands steepled together on her desk.

After that things pretty much went back to normal for me as I modified the genjutsu I came up with for the emerald to work for the necklace Karin had and then taught it to her. My sensei was also quite happy with the genjutsu since it was perfect for keeping a patient in pain still as the pain was shrouded by the genjutsu. The genjutsu was also the rare sort that couldn't be broken out of with physical injury as it piggy backed off the pain signals to begin with which made the genjutsu be unaffected by any other pain signals that appeared.-

She was quite proud to record this genjutsu as a high C rank technique normally or with the emerald necklace a low B rank. For a few weeks the scroll was a highly popular object in the Konoha hospital as the genjutsu was simply perfect for iryonin to use. Karin also strutted around like a peacock for some reason during that time proudly showing off her necklace. It was illogical to me but didn't really effect anything so I let it be while I turned my attention back to perfecting my chakra armor. Admittedly I had sort of isolated myself in the process as I missed the changes happening in the village.-

There were in fact quite a few changes in the village that all started after my sensei had gotten my idea about the elders retiring to go through. For starters my sensei had finally gotten her long held wish of mandating a single iryonin trained shinobi per team though this was in it's initial stages. Naturally training in iryonin jutsu wasn't a quick or easy thing for most and took at least two years to reach the lowest level in the arts for those with average talent.-

Still my sensei had managed to have an auxiliary course set up at the academy to train shinobi in only Iryonin jutsu. The course was mostly knowledge cramming and chakra control exercises for the first two years. The third and fourth years were devoted to intense taijutsu training and basic practical applications, healing scrapes and bruises, that sort of thing. The fifth and sixth years were dedicated to the more advanced fields of the arts and allowed for specializations such as poison, illness or chakra diseases. The trick here was that she had to get students themselves to take the path of an iryonin rather than a combat shinobi.-

My sensei kinda went with the blunt method of pointing out the difference in talents right when the academy started for the year. There was a sort of ranking tournament between new students and another two months later to show the difference that different students had to try and sort of trick these gullible children that may in fact just be late bloomers to take the iryonin course instead of the combat shinobi one. It came as little surprise to me that a great many of those from the Hyuga clan that weren't very talented took that path where they excelled.-

Another change was that more modern tech was starting to pop up in the shinobi parts of the village. Things like electrical lighting, mechanical appliances and even refrigeration surprisingly enough. The tech field was also rapidly advancing in a short period of time, so much so that if I had known about it at the time I would have thought there was another other worlder here somewhere. Entertainment was still a big deficiency though as there was no electronical version of games or the like, yet.
