The gates of Konoha rose into view like a memory half forgotten. Team 7 slowed to a stop, each of them taking in the familiar walls with a quiet mix of relief and nostalgia.

"I forgot how much I missed this place," Jiraiya said with a laugh. "The streets, the food and the bathhouses."

Q: Did Naruto's inheritance get used up by Konoha after the Kyuubi attack?

Canonically we do not know. This topic never comes up in the manga or anime, which is a shame because Kishimoto could have done a Harry Potter style reveal where Minato and Kushina had a pile of money saved up. Since he never mentioned it, all we can do is speculate.

A lot of fanfics have their own interpretation. My headcanon is simple. After the Kyuubi attack, Konoha was left in a severely weakened state. Tons of shinobi dead, buildings destroyed, infrastructure gone, and a huge number of injured personnel. When Pain destroyed the village later, Yamato was around to rebuild. Hiruzen did not have that luxury. No convenient Wood Release user to magic a village back together. So logically the village would need a massive amount of funding just to keep itself running.

And where would those funds come from?

By seizing the assets of dead shinobi.

Irl, governments throughout history have done this after major wars or disasters. When an empire collapses or a city is destroyed, estates of the dead often get absorbed into state property to fund reconstruction. Ancient Rome did it. Medieval kingdoms did it. Even modern governments can seize property when there is no next of kin or during emergency powers.

So to me, that is the most logical explanation. Canon Naruto apparently did not care enough to question any of this. My version of Naruto absolutely does. He is going to take back every single ryo owed to him with twelve years of interest.

How much is that exactly?

If someone wants to run the numbers, great. If not, I am more than happy to just have Naruto staring at the amount, wide eyed, wondering how many zeros he is looking at.

Q: Why does Kushina have a spear style? What is the Gungnir Henke no Jutsu?

Let us clear up one thing. Kushina is not a sword user. I get so many comments assuming she is, or that Naruto inherited her sword techniques, but canon gives us nothing about how Kushina fought. The chakra chains are literally the only confirmed ability she had.

The whole idea of Kushina being a swordswoman mainly comes from Ashina Uzumaki having two swords on his back when he is shown next to Hashirama. And, well, swords are cool, so fanon ran with it.

Canon Kushina is basically a blank slate when it comes to combat style, which gives us full freedom.

I made her a spear user because it is more unique than a sword, and because spears are criminally underused in Naruto despite being one of the most historically important weapons in warfare. Also, I want Naruto to eventually use other weapons from Lordran, especially spears, and this sets up a clean transition.

This idea has been hinted at across a few chapters:

Kushina's bingo book epithet is the Crimson Valkyrie of Chains. Valkyries are often portrayed with spears.

In the Uzumaki clan ruins, Sasuke and Sakura saw a large statue holding a spear.

The founder of this fanfic's Uzumaki clan, Oden Uzumaki, is based on Odin from Norse mythology, who wields the spear Gungnir.

Q: So what is the Gungnir Henke no Jutsu?

I am not revealing that yet. If you have any big ideas about spear techniques or what this jutsu could be, drop them. I am open to inspiration.

Now that I have done my Q and A, I have a few questions for you:

A. Do you think Sasuke or Sakura would have bingo book entries? If so, what would their epithets be?

B. How should Naruto use the spear? Do you want something grounded, like real spear techniques enhanced with wind chakra, similar to how I handled the zweihander? Or do you want a more fantasy anime style spear fighting approach?

Now, if you're interested in supporting me on P@treon, let me just say that over there, I post these massive 15k-word chapters.
