AN: ha ha ha ha! I appreciate the faith you all have in me that I have a plan, but I don't. I was under the impression the format of the story wouldn't allow it. I just go with whatever seems cool at the time.

It's okay, this one kind of answers... A lot of problems. Taylor has been working on her Chakra control since before the birdcage and has been using shadow clones as a main part of her combat tactics recently. There's no in story reason for her not to look for and grab some relevant jutsu for her current problems here, she can literally be spitting lightning with just a bit of work.

if you want to make the archives less powerful, just say she doesn't have an affinity for fire and that cuts the number of jutsu she can learn by a third

Ahh, no, the archives are much more powerful than that. It's not a collection of all the Uchiha special techniques, it's the collection of every technique that the Uchiha could get their very capable hands on. It says in the description, it basically contains the knowledge to learn everything but the most unique, personal, or best kept secrets and bloodline only abilities. She just got access to almost the entire Naruto library, and arguably anything reasonable that would fit in with the lore of the world. The only limiter on this power is how much and how well she can use it...
So yes, limiting her affinities limits what will be used, but whatever affinities she does have will have lots of options still

yeas they will contain a lot of other justsu, but you have to remember every single uchiha has a fire affinity, literally all of them that were shown in screen, the other affinities were secondary techniques and therefore much more taxing because they were meant for someone already proficient in elemental manipulation

double elemental affinities are joning things, so I doubt there will be that many chunin and genning level water jutsu in there

I mean, look at this, this is a list of uchiha jutsu from the wiki:

Jutsu
Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation
Fire Release: Great Fire Destruction
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique
Fire Release: Great Flame Flower (Anime only)
Genjutsu: Sharingan
Manipulating Windmill Triple Blades
Naka Shrine Pass Technique
Susanoo: Great Fireball Technique (Anime only)
Uchiha Flame Formation
Uchiha Return

Literally, 60% of the jutsu shown are fire jutsu

sure she will have all the common konoha jutsu and a few more to boot I honestly think that she would have been better with some other clans secrets, definitely a better fit for the Nara and Aburame then Uchiha

honestly she might as well try the 3 initial jutsu of academy students, the uchiha probably had a whole training regiment specifically for those

also remember that the uchiha have a greater than average chakra reserve, so they wouldn't be refining jutsu for super energy economy

point is the amount of immediately Taylor-usable jutsu will not pass 10%, maybe 50% with weeks of dedicated study and won't be combat effective for over a month even with clone studying

she just isn't going to have the chakra capacity for them

heck out of the academy rookies we have seen the only ones that aren't from a clan that was selectively breeding for chakra are ten ten, Sakura and lee, and she isn't going to pull lees training regiment

Chapter 64: Hold On To Your Eardrums

    • There is one thing I can definitely say after taking a cursory glance into the archive. That is, fuck the Uchiha librarian. Amazing magic bullshit library this may be, apparently the sadistic bastard only cared to sort scrolls by who contributed them. Seemingly leaving the contributors to decide best how to sort them, whether by topic, element, ease of study, order collected, or fucking scroll type. Hell, I think I saw two or three duplicates in there under the course of ten minutes. Maddening!

    After a while I ended up locking the locker room up once a dockworker almost wandered into the kill zone. Close one. Apparently Dad and Marquis want me for something.

    "Yes Dad?" After my escort leaves.

    "Well, what did you get?"

    "I got a vault with an incredibly lethal security system. Your messenger came fourteen centimeters from a crispy death."

    "...Oh" He looks kind of stunned.

    "What was in it?" Asks Marquis. I start flashing hand signs.

    "A series of techniques with "the same basis as this one."" As my clone separates out. I dismiss it immediately.

    "Looks interesting. What will you be able to do with them?"

    "Quite a lot, and absolutely nothing. They require a significant amount of time and energy to practice. Not to mention from what little I saw I will have to reorganize the entire vault to make any use of it. Alone and by hand." My voice is absolutely dripping with annoyance.

    "Ah. Well, such is life. It was actually my idea that brought you here." A whiteboard shoots up from Dad's desk. It reads 'I helped' followed shortly by Aisha's face. I narrow my eyes at her excited expression.

    "Frankly, I'm not sure how you managed to get Grue to agree to a meeting, but that was what led to it." I put up a one moment finger up to stop Marquis and raise my eyebrows at Aisha.

    "Hey, I had to get the memory to stick somehow, didn't I?" I retract my finger and nod.

    "So the idea is thus: we eliminate Coil's covert assets through whatever means available, then do the same to his mercenaries. Make sure he only has the PRT to manipulate."

    "I don't see how this ends any better for us in the long run."

    "Well first of all it limits how much force he can bring to bear at once. Secondly, there's only so much he can do to us using PRT resources. Anything he does that embarrasses the PRT can be used to pressure him into giving that timeline up."

    "I know for a fact he can pull at least one assassination out of his ass using purely PRT resources." Dad and Marquis look at each other.

    "Be that as it may, it is still a good plan." Says Marquis. "It limits his options. We can work on forcing the PRT to do it's job later. In more recent business one of Accord's Ambassadors called. Apparently the PRT captured Rune and they want to know what you want to do with the bounty."

    "Hmm... Not sure really. Armsmaster mentioned something about unveiling a new Ward last night. I'd like to know their official story before deciding." They nod.

    "Reasonable. You talked with Armsmaster?"

    "Yeah. Last night. I tried to get him to tell me how to deal with our intruder." I get my phone out. "He invited me to a fundraiser... at the Forsberg? Where the hell is that?" Dad starts typing.

    "Hmmm. Looks like a hoity toity art gallery downtown. Awfully close to Coil's nominal terrority. You think it'll be a problem?"

    "No, I'm more worried about the PRT pulling something. But I have confidence in my ability to at least escape if that happens. Is that all?"

    "Yeah. We'll talk later okay sweetie?" From Dad. I nod and turn away.

    "Aisha, get the hell over here!" I bellow as I leave. I hear her footsteps catch up to me as I walk away.

    "Yeah boss?"

    "When and where are we meeting your brother?"

    "In the mall at noon in the food court. Eating food is the best time to have these types of meetings I think."

    "I'll need my casual clothes then. I'll also need you to activate your power and book it back to headquarters if this turns out to be an ambush."

    "Pah!" She scoffs. "You really think he would screw up truces for himself like that? You really think he would betray me?" I look over to her.

    "I believe he would never willingly endanger his baby sister." She looks away and grumbles at that. "I'm going to go get changed now. You do the same and we'll meet up to go to the mall."

    "But noon is hours off still."

    "I'm going to go get some feeder mice from the petstore. One of my workshop additions came with a security system, and your dumb ass needs a live demonstration of what happens to anything not me approaching the door."

    "Taylor!" She says in a put upon tone. "When have I ever done anything to deserve such suspicion?" I give her my best unimpressed face.

    "Oh geez, I don't know, maybe our first meeting? Or would you like the full list?"

    "Right, well fuck you too then I guess." She says casually flipping me the bird, and stomping off in the direction of the mundane locker room.

    As I walk towards my own room I consider the options. There is always the chance, bare as it may be, that Aisha is leading me into a trap. I like the little gremlin, and it seems like we both get along. But money talks, no matter the source, and today was the first I heard of her contact with her brother. Nothing against her really, but I think I'll keep my loadout secret from her for now. In my room I change into my crowdblending clothes. Then I go in my locker room to put on the camouflaged Philosopher's Stone, a pocket full of suture string, hang my flute around my neck under my shirt, and put that pen dagger in my other pocket. Then I load up a first aid kit with a bunch of useful preloaded syringes in it, put it in a backpack, and stuff my urban camo cloak in there too. A hoodie completes my disguise, and I'm off to warn Sherrel about the deadly addition to my workshop before leaving to meet back up with Aisha. Sherrel just shrugged and started some guys on putting up a wooden barricade separating the garage out from the rest of my workshop.

    The Forge then failed to give me something strange. No side effects though, which is nice.

    Coming up on Aisha waiting impatiently by the locker room stops me dead.

    "The fuck are you wearing?" Its an unholy combination of way too much purple makeup, ripped booty shorts, and a t-shirt with a different shade of some eye searing purple and a punk logo. She rolls her eyes.

    "Big bro will never believe its me if I don't show up in something wildly inappropriate. Let's fucking go!" She says with a grin. She turns to leave. I follow her out. Well its certainly a choice in clothing. Before we leave the building I stop her to put my concealment cloak on. We walk to the mall with me holding her hand so she doesn't lose me, and I take the cloak off in a side passage near the lady's room. Buying two feeder mice is easy enough, and we're in my locker room two minutes later.

    "Okay, so I'm going to film this with my phone, and you're going to throw one of these mice towards that vault door."

    "Yeah yeah yeah, big bad deadly security system. Let's do this thing." She puts the cage down and grabs a mouse by the tail. "Sorry cutie, science awaits." I keep my phone pointed firmly at the vault door. No telling where this video may end up. A barely visible mouse flies towards the door and-

    *BOOM*

    "I'm sorry, was that some motherfucking lightning that just happened there?!" I hear being yelled through the ringing in my ears.

    *BOOM BOOM BOOM*

    I turn off the recording and try to blink the light away while ducking for cover, dragging Aisha with me. The fuck? That's not normal. Its supposed to stop once the infiltration attempt passes. Wait a minute.

    "Aisha, are you using your power?"

    *BOOM*

    "WHAT?" Oh for fuck's sake. I pull up my phone and start texting to ask the question, then show it to her.

    "OH SHIT!" And the lightning stops. I see blood coming out of Aisha's ears and then feel at mine. Yeah that's blood. Fucking ow.

    Guess I'm going to have to interrupt Amy's day then.

    • ...The vault's fiat-based security system misinterprets Aisha's default-on power as a continual infiltration attempt... even after she's kinda run away and is too insensate to even think about breaking in to the vault?

    edit: I think it's actually fuinjutsu-based but fiat-backed. For it to keep going off either the seals need to think Aisha is still trying to break in, or something enforced by fiat (or fanwanked, presumably due to ambiguity) needs needs to require such.

    yeah the whole thing is not going to be that usefull

    one thing that will however is the fact taylor could probably craft any ninja tool with minimal spenditure

    like the tresures of hagaromo or madaras warfan, all of those are within her capability eventually

    barrier tags alone are a massive boom since it stops most capes

    she may be eventually able to use puppets made of super strong metamaterials at a distance with portals the size of rings, or better yet have them be self powered and controlled by a clone

    Thinking about it, puppeteer jutsu would be great for a mech as it's practically a mind body interface with extra steps

    a handgun version of the chakra canon they used in the movie to blow up the moon

    the sword of the thunder god that appear in those filler episodes definitely would be the sort of thing that the uchiha have, given how much the second hokage hated them

    The Seven Ninja Swords are absolutely doable by her, I especially want to see her with an endless tag machine with infinite explosive tags, it fits her dockworker aesthetic quite nicely

    the Shinobi Gauntlet from boruto used shrunk scrolls as well as the ability of scrolls to seal chakra to make the used capable of any technique

    Taylor could do the same with parahuman attacks, making her aboe to use any blaster of shaker power she can pull from
     
    ok the more I look into it the more I can see puppet jutsu being taken to extremes

    so long as it has its own power you can move anything no matter how large

    it also plays well with Taylor style wise

    Besides its not a jutsu that's difficult because of chakra drain but skills that ate separately from ninjutsu

    the exact type of skills the forge helps her get

    we are impressed today with high-end puppeteers, and those aren't even close to combat level

    Sasori for instance managed to create prosthetics for ninjas so it can be done without the fingers

    then agaim can only use E & D rank jutsu, so it preaty low chance she can make that much progress with them

    • "That should fix you both up. Now don't go playing with lightning strikes ever again. Dumbasses." Amy is a real lifesaver. She went out with nothing but a spare camo cloak to keep her anonymity intact on her way here.

    "And why the hell do you have bits of dead mouse on you?" Oh goodie, another thing to clean up. Add that to the now escaped mouse in my locker room.

    "Oh, that's what we were using to play around with to get the lightning to happen!" I turn to glare at Aisha.

    "Pay no attention to the idiot. I was showing her the security system, and getting footage on where to put the caution tape."

    "Well, that puts this idiocy in a better light at least. If it happens again I'm not healing you though."

    "Thank you for this." I say as Aisha salutes with a stupid grin on her face. Amy wordlessly walks away, putting the cloak on again.

    Cleaning up in the bathroom takes some time. The bits of mouse guts and bone were the worst. I'm thinking it exploded? Very gross. Then comes our meeting preparation.

    "Feeling up to it? I know it takes effort to turn your power off."

    "Jesus, I'm fine. I managed that interaction with Panacea, didn't I? I can manage a few minutes with my bro. I've been practicing." I nod to her.

    "Okay, that just leaves scouting to see if Coil has anybody following him. I'm going to go around and see if I spot anything. You stay here in case your brother shows up. Can't keep him from forgetting you and also stay unnoticed after all." She nods, and I go out into the mall with my cloak on. Couple laps around the mall yields nothing too suspicious. Just a shoplifter, and I'm not breaking cover for that. Then I go poking around the food court for a black guy. Its about a half hour early, but what the hell. I was here earlier. I find a few promising candidates, and snap some pics for Aisha to confirm his identity. She texted back a 'hell yeah' about one of them. Told her to wait five more minutes.

    Looking around to see where I would set up a surveillance point, then walked around the place for good measure. Didn't find anything until I came across some dude in a jacket loitering by the bathrooms. I recognize this motherfucker. He was there during my first alternate timeline, when I escaped from the Birdcage. He shot Panacea. Looking at him more intensely I spot the bulge of what looks like a gun under his jacket. I text Aisha to wait some more. Going into the lady's room, I materialize a simple needle covered in neurotoxin. Coming out of the bathroom I quickly jab it into his jugular, vaporize the metal protruding from his neck, and watch him scrabble at his throat as the neurotoxin gets pumped directly into his brain. I then walk away playing my flute to make people less attentive to the kerfluffle going on behind me. Two minutes later it seems people have noticed the corpse, and not a peep from Coil's mercenaries. In either timeline. I text Aisha the all clear. My phone buzzes with a text.

    -I thought you said it was clear, there's mall cops all over!-

    I look over in the direction of the body. Well look at that, so there is. I start texting back.

    -It is clear. There was a Coil merc. He's dead now.-

    -WTF! Taylor you psycho XD-

    I frown. No need to be insulting about it. I look over to where Grue is. I see Aisha sit down, and Grue getting all animated. Very surprised face. Conflicted emotions. Yeah, that looks genuine. I let that play out a couple minutes before walking up myself. I make sure to take off my cloak and roll it up before sitting down.

    "And this is my patron."

    "Oh thank Christ." He slumps in relief.

    "What, you thought I was dumb enough to attach myself to some random psychopath like you were bro?"

    "This isn't about me little sister. And you. What the hell were you thinking letting her out like this?" He hisses. I look over to her clashing purples.

    "I admit, letting her dress herself this morning was a mistake."

    "No, not that-" He looks over to her. "Well yes that, but I'm talking about letting her out at all! If Coil doesn't already have her, she's sure as shit being hunted by him!" I open my mouth to speak, but Aisha beats me to the punch.

    "Bro I'm not some helpless damsel in distress here. I'm a real live cape with one of the best stealth powers there is!" I nervously look around me, but the din of people around us are drowning out the conversation handily. "Those Coil fuckeroos tried to kidnap me and I triggered. I'm not gonna just leave that alone. Fucker is gonna get exactly what he deserves." Punctuated by a fist pounding the table. About half a minute passes by as he glares at us.

    "You know what sis? I don't think I'm willing to let that go either."



    AN: Shorter than usual, but it was such a perfect stopping point.

    Fucking hell Taylor. I guess she did kill all those Nazis before, so it's not surprising. Although maybe it will be surprising for Coil to discover Taylor is already resorting to lethal force. He never did anything too egregious in a kept timeline!

    Coil's mercs will be catching a horrendous case of deaditis. It's spreading all around his bases.
     
    thanks for the chapter and for writing. yeah as bad as it sounds if i was in her place i would of murked the fuck as well shoot my friend now you dead
