That sounds like a sad existence to live but I disagreed. It was quiet and peaceful to not NEED to push yourself or strive for a lofty goal you may never reach. It was rather ironic how very sagely I was acted in regards to the way I lived. I did as I pleased and had no true burdens on my shoulders in truth as who could give them to me? The village refused to do anything that might annoy me and I didn't really have any enemies.-

Sure there were people that would absolutely not hesitate to kill me if given a chance but no one was ACTIVELY trying to murder me anymore after Danzo was dealt with. My beasts were sort of a different story with Kiseki currently being actively targeted by the other villages due to her ability to influence the growth of plants around her. All of the villages save Suna sent regular assassins after her because of the sheer threat to the balance she posed. More plants in a shorter time meant more money for the village and more money meant better trained and outfitted shinobi which the other villages did not want to see.-

While money didn't exactly make the world of shinobi go around it was without a doubt a serious factor to consider. In the short term the impact Kiseki caused to Konoha's finances was not a problem but say five or ten years from now of nothing but stupidly fast plant growth and profits and there was now a VERY big problem. The village was already the wealthiest in the world due to it's location being hyper rich in resources that we absolutely exploited so if we grew too wealthy we might be able to throw absurd amounts of money at the other villages to suppress them.-

Most of my other beasts weren't targets of assassination due to being very powerful on their own or just as reclusive as myself but every now and again some idiot attempts it still. The latest of these trials was aimed at my cat hilariously enough to embarrassing effect for the would be assassin. None of my beasts are stupid per se, not geniuses or anything but certainly not retarded. That said a few, my cat included, had lets say troublesome tendencies.-

I am of course referring to actions that could be considered playing with their lives such as my cats habit of stealing food from shinobi. Chasing my cat had in fact even been turned into a very popular D rank mission for new Genin squads to be given as it trained their tracking, urban movement and trapping skills. Obviously no one had succeeded in completing the mission but the lessons learned from the attempt was worth it as far as the village had decided. Obviously this boost of competency even small as it was annoyed the other villages who failed to replicate it for obvious reasons.-

This meant some assassins were sent every now and then to kill the bothersome feline in any way possible. The most recent assassin disguised themselves as a Konoha shinobi and was fake about to eat a very heavily poisoned sandwich to try and get my cat to kill itself. The problem came however when some ACTUAL Konoha shinobi joined the poor bastard to eat their lunches and my cat never showed so the fool had no choice but to eat the poisoned meal. He was obviously captured after the other shinobi saw that he had been poisoned and took him to the hospital only to discover he was a fraud.-

"The Nara clan is of a similar mindset from what Shikaku has told me. they believe Kuma's ability to absorb sunlight would be a perfect addition to their secret shadow techniques if utilized correctly." she said with a nod.

This wasn't the first time i heard about this as Shikamaru had mentioned it a few times over the years but I had always explained that I honestly wasn't sure HOW exactly Kuma's ability worked chakra wise. At first glance one would think it a fire release or even perhaps a yang release but I personally verified long ago that this wasn't the case. Just the fact Kuma could draw literal light coming from the sun was bamboozling enough.

Add the fact he could somehow then mix that light with chakra and belch it out like a bear shaped godzilla and you could see my trouble in replicating the ability. Honestly I basically tossed figuring the ability out into the "spare time" portion of my list of things to do as I simply didn't care enough to dedicate more focus than that on it. The ability was great and might have some awesome applications if used smarter than how Kuma utilized it but i wasn't exactly pressed for techniques that fit that description now was I?
