《The Fox Prodigy》Chapter 12: Special Day
Advertisement
The next day Naruto and Naruko were waiting for Mito to leave her room. Apparently Mito got Naruko a brand new black aucaustic guitar, because one of Naruko's hobbies is playing the guitar and a open leaf bracelet cuff.
Mito woke up because she heard a commotion behind her door. She opened the door rubbing her eyes. She saw Naruko sitting against the wall playing on her new guitar and saw Naruto sitting against the wall wearing his new hoodie and looking at his new machete. She was blushing bright red at this. Naruto and Naruko noticed her and instantly got up and hugged her.
"Thank you so much Mito." the twins said in unison
Mito was surprised they loved there gifts that much. She hugged them back.
"Do you really love you gifts." Mito asked with a bright smile on her face.
"I love them." Naruko said showing the guitar in amazement and the bracelet
"Why wouldn't I, they're awesome." Naruto said looking at his machete and holding his new necklace.
They then hugged her tighter.
"We're gonna go have a fun day today in the village. Whatever you wanna do." The twins said in unison
Mito eyes got bright. She nodded and ran to her room to get dressed. She got dressed, they all ate breakfast, and they headed out the door.
"Mom we're leaving." Naruko yelled
Kushina nodded with a smile.
"At least Naruto has them." Kushina thought, thinking about Naruto
When they were outside Naruto put Mito on her shoulder's and left to go have a fun day.
*5 Hours Later*
The day was great. The stopped at Ichiraku's for some ramen. They went shopping for Mito. They got her some fresh kunai, some clothes, played a couple games.

"Today was great. I had so much fun." Mito said happily
"I'm glad you enjoyed it." Naruko said giving her a high-five.
"Can we do some training?" Mito asked the twins
"If you want to train, we can." Naruto told her
"Yay, lets do it." Mito said with her hands up.
They walked to the training grounds to start training.
"Ok Mito, what do you want to work on." Naruko asked
"Can we work on my ninjutsu." Mito asked
"Ok, but first lets warm up with some taijutsu." Naruto said while he is stretching and then gets in his stance.
They began practicing there taijutsu by doing a 1v1v1 battle. When they finished they started working on ninjutsu.
"What is your chakra affinity?" Naruto asked
"Wind, what about you guys?" Mito asked
"I have wind." Naruko said
"I have wind and fire." Naruto said
"How do you have two?" Mito asked
"The kyuubi." Naruto said like it was nothing
"Oh." Mito said in embarassment
"Can you do a rasengan." Naruko asked
"Yes, Dad taught after you left for your mission." Mito said while smiling
"That's good. Now lets see it." Naruko told her while making a rasengan
They were both holding a rasengan. Until Mito noticed Naruto wasn't holding a rasengan, but was looking in amazement.
"Naruto aren't you gonna do it too?" Mito asked
"I can't do this move. I've never heard or seen this before. It sorta reminds me of a move that I can do. Thats a rotating ball of chakra." Naruto said while holding his hand out. He began making red and blue bubbles come out of nowhere and start making a black ball.
"This is called a tailed beast bomb. Your move looks like it is the exact same as this. But this can do a lot more destruction." Naruto told them.

"That's amazing Naruto." Mito looked at in amazement. She had never seen this before.
Naruto then dispelled it. "Enough about my move. Let's work on you, Mito."
Naruto and Naruko began showing her some wind techniques and began teaching her the techniques.
*3 Hours of Training*
The 3 siblings were walking home. Naruto was carrying Mito on her back.
"She wanted to work hard today." Naruko told Naruto while looking at Mito.
"She'll be stronger than both of us at the rate she's going." Naruto admitted
They entered the house began taking Mito to her, but was stopped by Kushina she was wondering why Mito was knocked out. They told and she understood.
*the next day*
Mito woke up being in her room. She realized she was in her room and in her bed. She looked over to her clock and realized it was the next but she saw a note.
Thank you so much Mito. We love you so much.
Sincerely Naruto and Naruko
She smiled and went to get breakfast.
*Meanwhile with Team 7*
Kakashi appeared late in front of his team of genin.
"What's your excuse for late this time." Sasuke asked
"I was submitting your applications for the Chuunin exams."

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.
