I have been transitioning for four years, and the last seven months I was off hormones due to personal reasons I will not elaborate on.
I was a natural D cup, had curves, and less hair. Now, my cup size has shrunken basically two sizes, my fat pattern altered, and my hair grew back with vengeance.
Today is my first day back on Estradiol, Spironolactone, and Progesterone, and I was wondering if you knew an approximate length of time it will be for things to go back to normal. I know a majority is anecdotal and subjective to rack their own, so please refrain from reminding. But if you have any tips, feel free to reply with whatever.

Do you think they look natural? I’m debating if I should add more hair in the front on the left eyebrow

Hello, I am the developer of Archean, which just released on Steam today, in Early Access. I've been sent here by u/RMuldoun to make a detailed post about this new game for you guys :)
Archean is an immersive Engineering Sandbox and Space Sim. The game is set on Earth, 3 billion years in the past, in the Archean eon.
This is a challenging sandbox that can be played solo or multiplayer with dedicated servers. It also happens to be a full scale Space Sim but it doesn't force you to do space stuff.

This game (and custom engine) is developed by a single programmer (myself) in a small team of two.

This project is my baby, I've been working on it for more than 13 years, starting over many times, until the technology got to where it needed to actually make it happen.
It's priced at USD 19.99 but there is a 25% discount at the moment for the release!
NOTE: You require an NVIDIA RTX graphics card to be able to play it. It won't run on a GTX or an AMD gpu.
Current Features

• Engineering / build sandbox
• Resource gathering and crafting
• Solo or Multiplayer with dedicated servers
• Open World with full size Earth and Moon
• Space Sim with orbital mechanics
• Aerodynamics simulation
• In-game coding with the XenonCode language
• Workshop integration
• Creative and Adventure modes
• Fully ray-traced graphics

Future Updates

• Survival mode
• Vehicle destruction and PVP
• Pressurization system
• Full scale solar system (with all the planets and moons)
• Weather system
• LOTS more content
• SDK for modders

Immersive Engineering Sandbox

We offer a very advanced, high precision build and engineering system with small resizable blocks from 25 cm to 4 meters. In this game, you have to connect components with actual cables/pipes for power, data and fluids. Build in-game live in an immersive way, not in an editor. Code your own logic in virtual computers, using pure code or a node-based visual programming system.

XenonCode

We have developed a new programming language designed to be easy to learn and optimal for in-game virtual computers. The game has a built-in cooperative editor with syntax highlighting and multi-cursor support, as well as a node-based visual editor to facilitate scripting.

Adventure Mode

In this mode, you begin with nothing in your backpack. You have to gather resources and craft everything you need. You start by hand, picking up rocks, build mining rigs, build automated machines and so on. Some resources are underwater, some are at the highest mountain peaks. It's up to you to build vehicles that can get there. The ultimate goal is to reach the Moon.

Native Ray-Tracing

Our innovative renderer is fully ray-traced with a great performance. This is not a eye-candy, it's actually a necessary feature for this game to even exist, because of its dynamic nature. Since the content will be mostly user-created and it's set to be moddable out-of-the-box, we cannot afford any artist-driven baked lighting, and with the full scale aspects with customizable solar system, we need the sun(s) lighting to be completely dynamic based on the real-time scenario, instead of tweaking shadow maps and reflection probes manually like other games do. The entire scene is rendered in a single ray-tracing pass with many recursive light bounces. This allows for realistic hard shadows, perfectly reflective mirrors and physically correct refractions. Just make sure you have an NVIDIA RTX graphics card and you're good to go.

Space Sim

The final goal of this game is to be a Full Scale Space Sim with the entire solar system. At the moment we have the Earth and the Moon, Orbital Mechanics and Re-Entry effects based on velocity. There is no artificial speed limit, so you can actually orbit realistically at 8 km/s. You can also dock with your friend's ship while in orbit, if you're good.
We have great plans for this game, and we swear by our 5 commandments:

1. Thou shall obey physics

It's NOT arcade-style and we do not underestimate our players. You must understand science or be willing to learn some physics. The game features realistic 6-dof space physics without any artificial speed limit. As far as we know, it's the only multiplayer space sim where you can dock with your friend's space station while in space at Full Orbital Velocity. This game is NOT meant to be a dogfight-style space shooter because that would not be practical with realistic physics.

2. Thou shall not see "Loading..."

Seamless transitions, no loading screens, EVER! From ground to orbit to another planet... it's all seamless. The game also happens to "load" pretty much instantly... For reference, in our Quadcopter video, the recording started BEFORE the game's executable was launched.

3. Thou shall not hit a wall

No fake boundaries. No skyboxes. No predefined paths. IT's a true Open World game, and it's all full scale. If you see a mountain, it's not a texture... You can just walk there and climb it if you have the courage... But I would just build a Rover or some kind of aircraft to get there faster. The moon that you see from the surface of Earth is the actual moon's terrain that you will land on, if you manage to build a good enough rocket, that is. The stars you see are individually rendered points in 3D space. It's not a skybox. But let's be honest you won't ever be able to reach another star.

4. Thou shall not be Thee

Immersive, first person controls and no cutscenes. There will NEVER be a point where the player loses control of their avatar to a cutscene or to some long animation. This game will keep a focus on First Person Immersion. Even though there is a 3rd person view available, it's mostly for taking screenshots, the game is not meant to be played this way.

5: Thou shall make sense

Everything has a realistic purpose based on science. Nothing should be fake, and in-game technologies must be at least plausible with some math behind it. This means that there is no such thing as magical artificial gravity. There are only two ways to have gravity in your spaceship when you're in space:

• Constant Acceleration: Players inside an accelerating ship do feel gravity realistically, and there is no artificial sublight speed limit as opposed to most (if not all) other multiplayer space sims.
• Centrifugal Forces: Yes you can also build a rotating station and you will have realistic "gravity" sensation like you would expect.

Also, there will be no Faster Than Light space travel. The math for a plausible Warp Drive would not allow that, but will let you multiply your acceleration quite a bit, in a way that you can travel up to 99% the speed of light.

I sincerely hope you'll enjoy this game a lot, as I did developing it and will keep enjoying working on it for years to come.

I’ve been wondering if I should try brown mascara as my hair, eyebrows and eyelashes are pretty much black but my eyes are brown and my skin tone is tanned, what we call in Portuguese “morena”. My make-up is also very brown centred, my eyeliner and Eyeshadows are almost always brown, is what suits me best but my concern is that since my eyelashes are black, would brown mascara be noticeable? Or would it just be a waste of money?

Believe it or not, there was a time when people actually talked to each other—shocking, especially for the younger generation, right?
But kidding aside, there's a grain of truth in that jest. I'm a firm believer that genuine connections start with meaningful conversations. I'm on the lookout for someone who appreciates the beauty of communication as much as I do.
About Me: I'm the kind of person who finds joy in learning about people from all walks of life. Whether it's through the pages of a book, the scenes of a movie, or engaging in conversation, there's always something to discover about the human condition. I believe in making every moment count.
I've been told I have a knack for turning ordinary conversations into something a bit more exciting. If you enjoy a good laugh, playful banter, and a dash of charm, we might just hit it off.
I'm searching for someone who knows how to keep a conversation interesting. If you appreciate witty banter, love sharing your favourite cheesy jokes, and aren't shy about throwing in a compliment or two, you might be the one I'm looking for.
If you're ready to embark on a communication adventure filled with laughter, curiosity, and a hint of flirtation, send me a message. Let's see where our conversation takes us and if we can make each other's day a little brighter.
About You:
I do have a type. Currently working on my overall fitness journey during bouts of depression (somewhere between fit and dad bod?). I'm looking for a partnesub who is somewhat in shape or thin. Apparently, someone once told me that I have a thing for dark-haired women with big lips—go figure!
A bit about me: I'm pretty open, dark-skinned, 5'7, black hair, brown eyes, working in IT. Feel free to bounce ideas off me to see if there's a match. I enjoy wordplay, encouragement, and, of course, seeing you. Intellectual stimulation is crucial, and effort goes a long way. Currently learning guitar for fun (what a journey!). I'm pretty much an open book.
If any of this resonates with you, don't hesitate to reach out. Pouring yourself out there isn't easy, but to make sure you've read this far, please include your favourite drink or any books you've read lately in your message!

Left: Lancôme lash idole mascara in black Right: Art Class magicurl fixing mascara in black The Lancôme retails for $30 and I got the art class for less than $10 when I was in Korea. I think it’s more expensive in the US but you can get similar kbeauty mascaras for around the same price here.
I’ve spoken in the past about how my project pan experience has helped me realize the importance of investing in high quality products rather than dupes, but the opposite is true as well. It’s all about understanding your features and how you need your products to perform. For example, I have dry, textured skin so no drugstore foundation has ever worked for me, and instead of wasting money on dupes, I’ve learned only go for high end foundations. In contrast, my eyelashes are naturally long and curly, so every mascara works exactly the same on them. Idk what I was thinking splurging $30 on a mascara but never again 😤
Overall, here are categories I splurge vs save on: Splurge: all base products (foundation, concealer, bronzer, blush, powder, highlighter), matte lipstick, setting spray Save: all eye products (mascara, eyeliner, eyeshadow), all brow products (brow pencil, gel, pen), primer, and lip gloss
I’m curious what other people’s splurge vs save categories are!

My hair has always been a bit of a mystery to me. After washing, if I don’t towel dry, it has some waves and is pretty frizzy as seen above. I will sometimes towel dry it because then it’s more straight and not as frizzy. I know towel drying isn’t good for hair that has some natural wave or curl though so I don’t want to continue doing this. I have tried various wavy girl methods to encourage healthier hair and I feel like all they do is make my hair get greasy faster and require so many products (which is why I think it gets greasy). I would like to use one product ideally outside of shampoo and conditioner. One day it will be super wavy and the next it will be straight. These pictures are when it’s in between of the two.
It gets greasy like two days after washing and I do what I can to make sure I don’t wash it for several days. I am a natural blonde and I only bleached my hair once (that has since grown out and been chopped off). I use sulfate free shampoos and conditioners. I don’t condition my roots and I wash it in luke-warm water. If I don’t condition, my hair gets dried out. I only wash my hair on Sundays and Thursdays. If I go longer than that it gets too greasy to manage.

I really want to use a diffuser, but I do not want to lower my hair health. At the moment I do not towel dry and let my hair dry naturally so I don’t know how my hair will respond to hair drying even if I use the lowest heat option.
If you do not suggest hair drying, what are some alternatives I can use to promote my curls?

Hello, I need some advice on what to do in this situation and I especially want to know if I’m overreacting or not. First, English isn’t my first language, I’ll do my best. So, I’m a teenager living with my parents. I know this’ll sound like some little fight between teen girl and her mom but I don’t know where else to tell anyone. I literally have no one to talk to. My older brother was always the favorite of us two, I noticed that from a very young age, when I was about seven. I’m always expected to be perfect while he’s allowed to make mistakes, he’s two years older than me but only one school year ahead of me. If I get A’s then I’ll get a “good job” or a comment like “why not A +?” It started as a joke but I just can’t anymore and it’s not even funny. He almost only gets D’s, sometimes C’s. He gets praised for that and when he does get like an A or B he always gets something for it, even if it’s just something as little as sweets or whatever. I’m not saying that I’m perfect, I’m not. I’m not Einstein. It’s just unfair to see that he always gets everything. I’m from germany and there is something called “BBR”, it’s like the first graduation. It’s just little but it’s just something to ensure you can even get a job, even if not a good one. When he wrote it, he got an C in maths and a D in German. He almost failed German. I’m not saying it’s bad, he did it and that’s what counts. Our parents were very proud of him and he got gifts. When I wrote the exams, I got a B in Maths and B in German, it’s not perfect but it’s also the top grades from my whole class. What did I get? Nothing. Am I just being jealous or is it really unfair? That were just some examples and I could go on rambling about that for hours, but now to the next point. It’s about what he gets, I don’t want to sound ungrateful and I’m thankful for everything I have, that I have the privilege to live with a roof over my head and always have my basic needs fulfilled. The thing is, I always have to beg if I want something, my brother on the other hand just asks and gets it. Sometimes he doesn’t even ask and just gets things. I’m also a rather independent person, I cook for myself, I clean after myself, I go grocery shopping myself and basically act like some housewife. I get scolded if I didn’t have the time to clean my room or forgot to shower that day because I just fell right asleep. Then there is my brother who doesn’t do anything alone. If our mother wouldn’t cook then he would probably just starve. He’s not a messy person, gotta give him that but he’s also the most unhygienic person I know. He showers like once a week, he doesn’t brush his teeth, he doesn’t do his hair, he walks in the same clothes for days and he doesn’t even change his underwear. Our parents don’t even do anything about it. “It’s just boys being boys”. No. Honestly, my mother is just so upset about the fact that I don’t look like the typical skinny girl in a dress with long hair. I’m not trynna be some pick me saying I’m not like other girls. I’m not all that. Just a girl. The one thing that pisses me off more than her having a favorite is the fact that her only argument is that she owns me and my body. She says that as long as I live under her roof that I have to do as she says. When we argue and she doesn’t have anh comebacks anymore, she just goes “Cállate, no me importa que quieres decir” that translates to “Shut up, I don’t care what you have to say.” Then she goes on saying that she doesn’t want to argue with me. She is the one who always starts them btw. Now, I’m not the skinniest girl and from what my mom says, I look like a man. I wear baggy jeans and a shirt, does she expect me to walk into school with a dress on? I’m kinda an easy bully target and that will just make it easier for them. The last argument we had was just a moment ago, that’s why I just have to let it out somewhere. She doesn’t know anything about me and neither does my dad. She doesn’t ask me about much, just how my grades are or when I’m finally going to get skinny cause I don’t look pretty enough. I’m not sensitive to insults but if you hear that every day for more than four years then it’ll make you feel like she says. I know I need to lose weight, I never was against it. She just makes it sound like I’m on the phone all day. Sorry that we don’t necessarily need to use books anymore to learn. Everything I need is online. Also, even if I do workout or something, she doesn’t believe me and makes me do it again. She says if I really did sport, then she would see it on how my body looks but my body naturally looks like I have like big muscles. If I lose weight then I’ll lose weight, not bones. I told her all that and more but I’ll spare you that thirty minutes. I just left saying “Just shut up about all that weight loosing for once and care about me for me.” She literally answered “What else am I supposed to talk to you about?” I was already mad but I just stormed off saying that the moment I get the chance, I’ll leave and go somewhere where I’ll at least be appreciated more than whatever she does. After that she just simply called me, telling me to put the hummus in the fridge. She always acts like nothing happened. Just three minutes ago she came into my room talking softly to me and asking why I look so pissed. Girl what do you think? The hummus or what? Like of course it’s our argument. My dad isn’t much of a help either, he just goes with whatever my mom says, even if she’s in the wrong. He’ll be like “Don’t be so rude, she probably didn’t mean it, you know that she’s not german.” Then explain to me what gives you the right to intervene without knowing anything? She literally spoke Spanish, not german. Your argument doesn’t make sense. It also doesn’t matter if she says she own me in Spanish or German. I know this is a long post but I just want some advice. This isn’t a teenage thing, it was since I was way younger as I already mentioned and it also doesn’t look like it’s going to stop anytime soon. I don’t want to spend my years hearing her talk bad about me right in front of me, even to others. I left out very much and there’s just a lot of stuff happening between us. Even if this isn’t your exiting reddit Aita and just some minor problem, I would appreciate some advice here. Should I just do as she says? Should forgive her? Should I just get over it? Move on? Act like nothing happened? I want to add that she isn’t all bad, she can be a great mother. It’s just that it’s getting worse by the day. Hope it’s not too confusing, if there are questions and I find the time, I’ll try to answer them.

One of the primary things I use AI for is drafting emails that I later edit to make them "in line" with my writing style.
In the recent update, Google seemed to have completely messed up this use case by having Gemini try to connect with a workspace account rather writing an email draft in the "chat conversation". This is INFURIATING!

Has anyone else experienced this?
The croseed out black parts is more "informational context" for the AI.

It's hard to really pinpoint down an accurate shape or style of her glasses. I'm still slowly working on a cosplay for her, and I'm aiming to see about getting a pair of (preferrably cheap) sunglasses to match up to hers.
But not being a glasses aficionado myself, I honestly can't tell what type she uses. Her wiki page doesn't say much, and it states she wears a green set when her official artworks show more black/dark gray than green.

Sometimes they look square-ish, sometimes circular... It's difficult to say, really.
As for why \specifically** sunglasses, I have a sensitivity to light. Being out and about, even in building with certain light types/levels, I keep them on to stop me from being blinded.
If need be, I'll go with a set of regular glasses that use plastic lenses (or regular glass, as I don't need glasses to see/read like many other folks) and try to find flip down sun lenses. ...Where ever I'd find those.

I'm white, 5'3", with an average build, green eyes, brown hair (currently shaved), and a mustache. Goofy, shy, with a touch of the 'tism.
Music lover. I'm a massive metalhead and punk, who also enjoys goth, psychedelic rock, and dungeon synth. I occasionally dabble in concert promotion. A few favorite artists are Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Blind Guardian, Candlemass, Testament, Gulch, Napalm Death, and Darkthrone. Record collector.
Big ole nerd. Sci-fi, fantasy, and horror nerd. Love animation, video games, D&D, and manga/graphic novels. Enjoy learning about history, cultures, and religion. Aspiring writer who listens to a lot of media criticism. Tolkienite.
Leftist. Agnostic. Don't want kids.
Here for the goths, goofs, and geeks. I love women who are smart, funny, passionate, affectionate, empathetic, and curious. Bonus points if you're tall, busty, or muscular.
Let's talk and see what happens. Tell me about the things that make you happy.

What fighting style is most similar to the way he fights?

Hello all! I'm a women and I'm 24 years old and I have a twin sister. All my life I lived under the shadow of my sister: she's an extrovert and I'm an introvert! Besides that she always cared a lot of her appearance so she always wears make up, has her hair done, wears pretty clothes, etc... she's like that since we start to be teenagers until now. On the other hand, I don't wear make up all the time and I use my natural hair. So since we were teenagers she has been much more prettier than me, she has a prettier face, a nicer body and perhaps a better personality.
Basically I grew up feeling jealous of her since we were kids until now! When we were kids the envy was more because she made a lot of friends and I had no friends to play with. From 13 years old until now the envy is more about her being much prettier than me, having a nicer body than me, having multiple guys all around her, having many boyfriends, having a lot of friends... I consider myself pretty as well but I just can't handle the fact that she is my twin sister and she's way more prettier than me! Everyone know that even my only boyfriend I ever had commented on her beauty.
My sister always helped me in everything, she always tried to include me in her plans (because I don't have a lot of friends) so for example I only started to go out at clubs with heher friends and I also travelled with heher friends, etc. But at the end of the day, I'm always sad and jealous because the friends aren't mine and I will never be as pretty as she.
We have always been in the same class in school so I have always been compared to her. I have always listened to comments from friends and family like "why don't you start to be more like your sister and dress better?" or "why don't you go out with your friends more like your sister?". It came to a point where I didn't wanted to be seen with my sister beside me or I didn't wanted people to know that I have a twin sister!! I just hate walking anywhere with her next to each other because I always see the guys looking at her and try to make eyes at her and never to me.
Things got a little better when we were 18 and we went to university because we had to split up and went on separate ways for the first time! I started to be more independent of her and having a little more friends and trying to do things without her. And I loved the feeling about anyone knowing that I had a twin sister and no one compared me to her. But as soon as I mentioned I has a twin sister, everyone asked for a photo of her and then I felt inferior to her again...
Now we are both working but we still live together and we spend most of the time together and now she is on her best fit life (she goes to the gym everyday). She has an incredible body and I spend my life listening to people complimenting her body, which makes me feel like shit even though I also go to the gym regularly but she's way better than me.
So I would like to ask you advice on what to do to not feel like this anymore towards my sister, because at the end of the day I love her and it's not her fault.

Choosing the best running shoes involves:

• Understanding your foot type (flat, neutral, or high arch).
• Knowing your pronation pattern (overpronation, neutral, or underpronation).
• Considering your running terrain (road, trail, or track).
• Ensuring a proper fit with adequate room in the toe box.
• Selecting the right level of cushioning and support based on your needs.

Stick to reputable brands, balance your budget, and replace shoes every 300-500 miles. Always listen to your body for signs of discomfort. This guide helps you find the perfect pair to enhance performance and prevent injuries.

Understanding Your Foot Type

Know Your Arch

First things first, understand your foot arch type. There are three main types:

• Flat Feet: Minimal to no arch. This often leads to overpronation.
• Neutral Arch: A standard arch. Suitable for most types of running shoes.
• High Arch: Excessive arch. This can lead to underpronation.

Pronation Patterns

Pronation refers to how your foot rolls inward upon landing. Knowing your pronation type helps you choose shoes that offer the right support.

• Overpronation: Foot rolls inward excessively. Look for stability or motion-control shoes.
• Neutral Pronation: Foot rolls inward naturally. Most running shoes will suit you.
• Underpronation (Supination): Foot rolls outward. Cushioned shoes are your best bet.

Consider Your Running Terrain

Where you run plays a big role in choosing your shoes.

Road Running

If you run primarily on pavements, look for:

• Lightweight shoes: For speed and flexibility.
• Cushioning: To absorb the impact of hard surfaces.

Trail Running

For off-road running, consider:

• Trail shoes: With aggressive treads for grip.
• Protective features: Like toe guards and rock plates to shield against obstacles.

Track Running

If you hit the track:

• Spikes: For better grip and speed.
• Minimal cushioning: For lighter weight and faster sprints.

Comfort and Fit

Size Matters

Your running shoes should fit snugly but not too tight. Ensure enough room in the toe box, about a thumb's width from your longest toe to the shoe's end.

Try Them On

Always try on shoes later in the day when your feet are more swollen. Wear the socks you intend to run in to get the best fit.

Break-In Period

Remember, running shoes don't usually require a break-in period. If they feel uncomfortable initially, they are likely not the right shoes for you.

Support and Cushioning

Cushioning Levels

Choose the cushioning based on your comfort and running style:

• Maximalist: Extra cushioning for a plush feel and shock absorption.
• Minimalist: Less cushioning for a natural running feel.

Support Features

Depending on your pronation type, you might need additional support:

• Arch support: Essential for flat feet and high arches.
• Heel counters: Help keep your foot stable.

Brand and Budget

Reputable Brands

Stick to well-known brands like Nike, Adidas, Asics, Brooks, and New Balance. These brands often offer a range of shoes tailored to different needs and offer reliable quality.

Budget Considerations

Investing in a good pair of running shoes is crucial. Prices typically range from $50 to $200. While higher-end shoes offer advanced technology, mid-range shoes can also provide excellent support and durability.

Additional Tips

Replace Regularly

Running shoes typically last 300 to 500 miles. Tracking your mileage can help you know when it's time for a new pair.

Listen to Your Body

Pay attention to any discomfort or pain during or after running. It might be a sign that your shoes are not the right fit.

Final Thought

Choosing the best running shoes involves:

• Understanding your foot type.
• Considering your running terrain.
• Ensuring the perfect fit.
• Selecting the right level of support and cushioning.

Following these guidelines, you can find a pair that enhances your performance and keeps you comfortable and injury-free. Happy running!

Not sure if this is the right subreddit to ask. Are all part compatible? I am a bit worried about physical clearance. The PC is non RGB, all black style. I am going to be using the pc for playing games like BeamNG.drive and SCP Secret Laboratory, i am also going to do some video editing. https://fi.pcpartpicker.com/useTryffeliPossu/saved/sTY7CJ

This is a story I've come up with my head for years It predates most things talked about so I've had to figure a way for it to fit in. This story was created basically to find a good way to blend Dbs with Naruto. There is a bit of a "timeline thing" but that will be explained and basically thrown away fairly early on. Also it starts a little overpowered but only due to the bigger things I started building up too. Also This is my first time "writing this down" and I'm not exactly a world class story teller so in ways this is more of a character.His name is Hachiman
This takes place in the Hidden Leaf Village but the current time is during Just before the 4th Great Ninja War. In this world The Kaguya clan has not yet gone extinct. A Prodigy child is born of the Kaguya Clan. A Rere Genetic Awakening has happened within the child's body Opening access to the Ötsutsuki genes within him of which being born with Byakugan and multiple charkra nature's are amongst a couple. His Ötsutsuki ability has the ability to manipulate time to a second difference Small but extremely reliable. Due to being such a a Prodigy at a young age as well as fascination with different Justu, as well as Frankly not being able to Beat or Captured he was Drafted into the Anbu. He shows hardly any emotion and Know's full well he can do what he wants to an extent but has no want for this as he Would rather just live peacefully and whatever brings him and everyone closer to peace he will due solemnly. He grows up with Hardly anybody but 1 girl named Kiriko (Kiri for short) In the middle of a mission The Hidden Stone attacks the Leaf! Hachiman hurry's back to the village quickly! Quickly he fends off quite an amount of Hidden Stone. A Shriek is heard in the distance! He rushes to Help! There he finds Kiriko with blood trickling the the hands of the enemy. Blind Rage awakens within Hachiman His Time related Kekkei genkai Erupts! White Surrounds the entire area it seems as if the world Is collapsed within it. When he comes to he awakes in a Forrest, "Where is the hidden leaf?" He thinks. Realizing his eyes have awakened Sharingan! Shinobi running through the Forrest stop him "Who are you they ask" As Hachiman looks up they meet eyes with the Sharingan. Immediately they attack! Hachiman defeats then. As he begins to walk around he notices the world and the chakra of the world itself is different? Eventually he stumbled into a camp and realizes this is an Original Uchiha Camp. He begins to ask questions blending in with the fact he has Sharingan they questioned nothing. He begins to put the pieces together His Kekkei genkai awakened and Swalllowed Him in time, He himself has Time traveled to before the Villages had begun. Thinking back in history eventually he works under the Uchiha but with minimal Killing as to protect time from being distorted and making an impact that never happened. As time continues he meets Madara Uchiha and studies him from the shadows Observing and Copying his every move. Hachiman learns his Sharingan's ability is able to Save and copy other Sharingan Formation (allowing Amaterasu, etc) Later he again Stay's in the shadows and does the same with the Tobirama. As time moves on he realizes he does not age anymore. He begins to not fully understand his situation but make the better of it instead. In the shadows he studies and copies all of the Legends from Naruto. Eventually Rinnegan awakens and Before the final Ninja war he abandons this dimension. "It is not my home anymore" he believes. He watches as Naruto and Sasuke beat Kaguya and Learns of the Ten tails. Trying to further his power he discovers a Ten tails abandoned in a random dimension. He decided to become a Ten Tailed Jinchūriki. Later Sasuke while traveling through his Rinnegan meets Hachiman. Hachiman explains everything. Sasuke already having his first run in with Otsutsuki explains everything that has been happening home. Hachiman has no interest as he feels a greater threat is coming. He tells Sasuke to leave him and he will stay out of all Trouble and wishes to be left alone.
