Hiruko, now in his room, sat cross-legged on his bed, looking over the scroll containing Tobirama's notes on Water Release.
The scroll, though small, contained hundreds, no, millions of words and notes on the uses and applications of Water Release.
'Is this what the inside of a genius's head looks like?' Hiruko pondered as he gazed over the scroll before finding a good starting point and began reading.
{If you're reading this, I assume you have some talent in water release, and that means you should know water release is a very useful and versatile chakra nature, especially when up against those of the fire nature, like the Uchiha. Ughh, just saying that cursed clan's name pisses me off, but—}
Hiruko, reading that line, chuckled to himself a bit; in his old world there was a saying that every genius had their quirk.
Tobirama's quirk bordering on racism was slightly funny.
After calming back down, his face returning back to focus, Hiruko began reading again.
{But my dislike aside, it's important to not limit yourself.
Chakra transformation is the act of altering the properties and characteristics of one's chakra, giving it the characteristic of an element.
But it's important to know it will never be that element per se; we only imitate them. The imitation is very close to the real thing, but it lacks that power that comes with a natural element.
For example, lightning chakra as a byproduct of Jutsu will never have the sheer speed and destructive force of natural lightning; this is a fact.
However, this can be bypassed in two ways: a unique power my brother attained from his partnership with Shikkotsu Forest called nature energy.
And the method I found, which is by doing something most people with the Earth Chakra Nature do, which is use the earth already given from the terrain and use chakra to manipulate that.
Casting jutsu like Earth Wall, but the terrain is limited in a sense.
What if you want to shoot earthen bullets? Do you then put earth in your mouth? Do you even have enough time to do that in battle? No, that's idiotic, but that's what makes water so useful because it's everywhere.
If you wish to cast it externally, you can use water found in the atmosphere or the moisture in your surroundings.
You wish to cast certain jutsu, like Water Style: Water Bullets. You can use saliva or sweat as the crux, maybe even blood.
Though these experiments never panned out due to Hashirama and Mito's confiscations of over 95% of all jutsu I created, deeming them forbidden and a danger.
Ughh, they're so annoying. Little do they know I'm working on a jutsu that'll piss them off if they ever die. Hehe. }
Hiruko reading this line couldn't help but think of a certain forbidden jutsu.
'Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation? And are they sure this wasn't his diary and not notes' Hiruko thought, lightly shaking his head, deciding to read a couple more sentences before calling it a night.
{ Anyway, I've found that it is harder to replace our chakra imitations with natural ones, though the best starting point would be practicing sensing water in various places, starting outward and slowly moving inward.
Try spending time in places where water is abundant, and try using your chakra to manipulate water instead of reproducing it.}
Hiruko finally finished just a quarter of the first part of the scroll out of 20 and was somewhat exhausted; you'd never believe he'd just woken up from a day and a half of sleep.
Yawning, Hiruko thought to himself as he lay down, covering up.
'I'll begin practicing Tobirama methods most likely my next training day or if I get some free time. Ugh, so much to do,' Hiruko thought, closing his eyes and slowly drifting to sleep.

"So you ready, Hiruko?" Arata asked, a small smile on his face, as both stood in the Senju Estate personnel training ground.
Hiruko, who stood across from Arata wearing a standard training uniform from his Garb-Garb Fruit, wore a lazy expression; his eyes held deep bags.
"As ready as I'll ever be," Hiruko said.
Watching from the sidelines were Yuri, Tsunade, and Sakumo.
Arata, still smiling at Hiruko's underwhelming response, simply said,
"Remember, your goal isn't to defeat me; it's to dodge me, who will be attacking you 10 times, and only after you dodge 10 times do you try and attack me only once.
Attack me before you hit me 10 times or more than once, and I am going to hit you 20 times in return."
Hiruko, hearing this, felt his eye twitch slightly.
"What type of dumb exercise is this?" Hiruko said, flabbergasted.
At this Arata simply chuckled.
"Who knows? My dad tried it on me, and after getting tumbled repeatedly, it worked, so let's hope this method works for you.
Oh, and no using anything other than Taijutsu; Yuri will give you a bashing if you do," Arata said, smiling as he pointed to a Yurei who eyed Hiruko with a devilish grin.
Arata, seeing the worry on Hiruko's face, adopted a grin of his own. As he said, "Begin."
Hiruko, who was lost in his own thoughts, snapped out in bewilderment at these words as he saw Arata rushing toward him.
'Oh, fuck me.' Hiruko said as he took a slight step back.
Arata closing the distance in a matter of seconds caught Hiruko by surprise as he swung his fist hard towards his face.
Hiruko, analyzing the trajectory of the punch as best he could, turned his body slightly to the right.
However, Arata seeing this allowed his momentum to carry his body downwards.
He caught his body with both hands on the ground and lifted his body just enough to deliver a kick to Hiruko's face, blasting him several meters away.
"I think you broke my nose," Hiruko said as a bit of blood dripped from his slightly crooked Snow White nose.
Arata, who stood across from Hiruko, simply said, "It'll heal now; let's go again." Arata knew just how impressive Hiruko's healing factor was—not on his level, but it was still impressive.
And not only that, he found out Hiruko had some weird healing ability that could heal a wound from the great Madara Uchiha; a broken nose should be nothing.
'Tsk, what happened to the caring older brother?' Hiruko sneered internally as he gave a look towards Arata.
Arata, not caring what Hiruko was trying to convey, rushed back in this time with faster speed.
As he threw another punch, Hiruko, more ready, decided close-up dodging was meaningless.
So he opted to not engage closely at all, so he didn't and did a couple of flips, disengaging from the battle.
Arata, seeing this with a smile as he recalled a past memory, said,
"You know, running away doesn't count as dogging, but fine, I guess I'll come to you." Arata said disappearing
Hiruko, on the other side of the arena, thought, annoyed, 'What do you mean you've been coming to me this whole time?'
Hiruko anxiously scanned the arena for Arata's presence when a small chill appeared on his neck.
"You know my father learned this from Sakumo's grandpa. Why don't you get a taste! A thousand years of death," Arata said as he appeared squatting behind Hiruko, the tiger seal formed.
'No, no, please, for the love of everything, no,' is all Hiruko could think before he felt it.
