It was smaller, he likely kept a smaller one for use in areas like hallways where the sword taller than himself would be impossible to properly swing but when he also wants more reach than a kunai would give.
Sending teams to kidnap him? In the biz, I think that's what's referred to as 'Woodchipper Missions'.But in all seriousness, there's evidence in the hands of people not loyal to Konoha that he's a strategic asset. Best be on the lookout for kidnapping and seduction missions.
Which adds another 11 combinations to the doubles and I don't know how many triples or quads there are.
I think "very strong, very stupid, or bait." would probably have worked better here, very stupid and soon to be very dead usually enjoy at least something of a causal relationship, after all.Anko-sensei had simply commented that a loud shinobi was either very strong, very stupid, or soon to be very dead.
I think Yin and Yang release would probably not combine with the others like that. They aren't the same kind of "release" as the elemental transformations, after all. Elemental transformations involve using chakra in whole, formed into an element. Yin and Yang release are about isolating one or the other of the two energies that is combined to form proper chakra, and using that. Even if it's possible to use one of them at the same time as a full chakra jutsu, if you tried to add them together all you would get is a jutsu with imbalanced chakra. A failure in all respects.Which adds another 11 combinations to the doubles and I don't know how many triples or quads there are.
Granted this assumes that Yin and Yang mix with the other 5 basic elements the same way that they mix with each other and not just act as a boost to potency and adding automatic instructions or even just requiring a balance of all five to mix properly in elemental techniques.it's another 110 combinations. (120 total: 21 double and penta, 35 triple and quad, 7 hex, and the ultimate combo)
good thing the clone spam means it's all of 5 minutes at most to try them all out.
I'm fairly sure YinYang Release is more or less using Yin Release and Yang Release at the same time to perform different parts of the technique. Combining Yin chakra and Yang chakra directly just results in "chakra," after all. YinYang Release therefore, would require splitting your chakra into the two separate aspects and keeping them separate, while performing what amounts to two separate jutsu at the same time, each in the already difficult and opposing Yin or Yang release, that also interact with and tie into each other codependently but can't be allowed to actually mix. Which kind of explains why it's such a hideously difficult concept to pull off, that we only really see done via one form or other of Six Paths cheat in canon.There's also the specific YinYang Release, if it counts as separate from just Yin and Yang release combined (And if it's, y'know, actually possible to combine the two without going for YinYang Release). Not exactly likely, but still a possibility. It partially depends on how the combination is done; there's already an example of Water+Earth having different possible outcomes of Mud and Mokuton/wood. And the two different 'Lava releases' (Which have different names, just the translation to English gave them identical ones).
Based on the description, sun still worksPlasma is Storm, that is water/lightning, Fire/Lightning has no canon combination, hence the curiosity about the result.
Now that I think about it, I wonder if people will start thinking the Tome is a super secret Uzu artifact, possibly the main target of the village's destruction. And before anyone asks how an Uzu artifact ended up in Konoha, it was smuggled out before Uzu's destruction and Naruto found its secret hiding placewith fire he'd somehow ended up with what looked like a perfect sphere of energy that had dissipated into the surroundings on hi
Assuming, of course, that the tome becomes known to the other villages. That said, when three genin who are clearly not related (and one is from a known bloodline) prove to be able to freeform combine elements... I suspect the other villages will be thinking less "bloodline limit" and more "oh crap, secret Uzu training method that is being shared with village." Especially if the two Jounin Sensei then start doing so.
I was more thinking people within Konoha thinking that, Danzo for example?Assuming, of course, that the tome becomes known to the other villages.

Heavy assault? What? No, we're an infiltration squad. Gotta be able to impersonate anyone you know. Can't let little things like bloodline talents or things like that stop us. Heck, right now you're the only person left in your village - everyone else is us.
I had an idea, the team is covering their infiltration role by also acting in a heavy assault role, but it would be great if they also went around telling people that they are an infiltration team with the argument in favor of the idea being essentially Malfean Stealth Tactics, possibly selling it even better if only Naruto is "trying" to convince people of their role.
Nobody would believe them and their actual infiltration missions would never be traced back to the absolute least subtle team in Konoha's history.
I suggest that there is a reasonable chance that it has properties that the current holders are either unaware of or unable to use, that Naruto can.Huh. Kubikiribocho sorta makes sense, for those that didn't keep up with the series until the end it was revealed that it has the power to repair itself by absorbing and multiplying the iron in blood from people it cuts, which is weird enough to be an Uzumaki thing, sure. But Nuibari is just an oddly shaped sword with a roll of wire tied to the hilt, all it's strangeness is down to the user's skill. Why did they make that?
are there only two? because Lava Release has at least 5 different manifestations: Molten Rock, Acid Mud, Corrosive Quiklime, Vulcanised Rubber, and Volcanic Ash(which would act like a cloud of burning razorblades).And the two different 'Lava releases' (Which have different names, just the translation to English gave them identical ones).
