Chapter 86 - Ino's Path Forward

Mikoto glanced between the children. "Right." Her gaze settled on Naruto and Sasuke, both standing stiffly side by side, still trying to outdo each other in posture. "All right, Sasuke, Naruto. I'm going to continue instructing you two. Raven said previously that she was going to help Ino and Hinata out. Is that still right, Raven?"

Raven gave a nod, arms crossed and gaze calm. "Yep. I have a few ideas to help them train in their own directions for the future."

Mikoto tilted her head slightly, something unreadable passing behind her eyes. "You certainly are informed."

Under the wide canopy of the tree, Yumi lounged lazily, her white tails flicking with idle amusement. "Raven, it looks like it's your time to shine."

"Oh, don't worry," Raven whispered with a slight smile to her lips. "I've got plans for these two."

Ino and Hinata exchanged a glance, curiosity in their eyes.

"What are we going to do, Raven?" Ino asked, brushing her blonde bangs behind one ear.

"Don't worry," Raven said softly, stepping forward, her tone calm and patient. "We'll get to it."

Mikoto gave a small nod. "All right, Raven. I'm leaving these two to you. I'll take care of Naruto and Sasuke."

Turning her full attention to the girls, Raven drew a slow breath. "Ino, we'll start with you first. Give me a basic explanation of your Mind Transfer Jutsu."

Ino straightened a little, her tone shifting into something formal. "The Mind Transfer Jutsu is my clan's secret technique—the Yamanaka Clan's Mind Body Switch Technique. It lets me send my consciousness into another person's body, allowing me to control them for a short time." Her fingers twitched as she spoke. "The problem is… when I use it, my body is left completely defenseless. I have to rely on my allies to protect me while I'm in someone else's mind." She paused, glancing down. "I've basically mastered the foundational principles of the jutsu, but its vulnerabilities are huge. If my body's attacked while I'm using it, the connection breaks—and it can seriously hurt me."

Raven nodded slowly, the gears turning behind her eyes. "Don't worry, Ino. We're going to take your Mind Transfer Jutsu in a new direction. I'm going to help you evolve it into something far more advanced—using the foundational principles you just described and building on them from there."

She turned slightly, her attention now shifting to Hinata. The girl was quietly watching, her pale lavender eyes focused.

"Hinata, I previously tested your chakra, and it's water-type. So here's what we're going to do: I'll train both you and Ino in chakra refinement to expand your chakra pools. But for you specifically, Hinata, we're going to start learning basic water manipulation techniques so you can learn to channel your element properly."

"Water manipulation?" Hinata echoed, tilting her head slightly.

"Yes," Raven said firmly. "Once you build a solid foundation in water chakra, we'll move on to mutating that chakra into something far more advanced—ice chakra. Ice is a mutated form of water chakra, more powerful and versatile for both defense and attack."

Hinata's expression changed, awe settling over her delicate features. "You can actually transform the nature of your chakra?"

"Of course," Raven said simply. "You can master every elemental release with time and effort. But for you, we'll fundamentally alter your chakra's nature from water to ice. That will make you stronger than most shinobi your age—but first, you need to refine and build your water reserves."

Hinata's face firmed as she nodded. "All right, Raven. I'll do my best."

Raven's eyes shifted back to Ino. "Now, Ino—what's your chakra type?"

Ino blinked. "I've never really been told. My family just says my chakra works best for psychic techniques—like my Mind Body Switch."

Raven folded her arms. "That makes sense. You have what I'd call psychic-type chakra—a rare affinity suited for mental techniques and telepathic control." She paused for emphasis, voice lowering slightly. "But that psychic chakra can be refined into something even greater—soul-type chakra."

"Soul-type chakra?" Ino tilted her head. "What's that?"

"It's a unique form of energy I've developed just for you," Raven replied calmly. "Soul-type chakra allows you to project attacks directly at an enemy's spirit—while staying in full control of your own body. No more leaving yourself defenseless like before."

Ino stared at her. "I've never heard of anything like that."

"Of course not," Raven said, her tone cool. "The knowledge of soul-type chakra isn't known to anyone in Konoha. You don't need to worry about how I learned it—just trust that it'll make you far more powerful than any traditional Mind Transfer technique ever can."

There was a long silence between them before Ino finally nodded. "All right, Raven. I trust you."

Raven's lips curved ever so slightly. "Good. Then let's begin."
