2 Weeks Later Somewhere at the Academy:
[Hado: You consumed the spiritual blood of a fallen mythological creature and the fusion between your monstrous and the nine-tailed fox's spirit produced a strong killing intent that will spread fear into the hearts of weaker individuals than you if you ever wished to do so.]
------
(A/N: Hado is versatile if you know what that is, it ain't just intimidation.)
------
"Hmm, at least I got something out of Kurama's blood, I guess." I muttered to myself while looking at the new skill that had appeared in my status screen.
I could feel it deep in my bones, like a second heartbeat waiting to be unleashed. If I wanted to, I could probably paralyze every student in this room with just my aura and slaughter them without letting them lift a finger.
"What are you muttering to yourself?" I heard Yuji say beside me, his voice carrying that usual lazy drawl.
I opened my mouth to reply, but I turned and looked at someone approaching Ken suspiciously.
"Yo yo yo, are you little KenKen?"
"Who's asking?" Ken answered as he also looked at the boy who was tweaking like a crackhead.
"I... I'm a customer. I'm trying to buy. Heard you were the person I needed to go to."
"Alright, so what do you want? Chips? Gum? Candy? What is it?" Ken replied mysteriously with a nod.
"I was actually hoping to buy from the exclusive inventory."
"I don't know what you're talking about." Ken replied with narrowed eyes.
"Come on, man. I'll pay you extra."
"If you're referring to THAT, then sorry because I don't mess with them no more." Ken said.
"Ohhhhh," The boy slumped his shoulders in disappointment and turned then walked away from Ken.
"..."
"..."
We all looked at Ken who looked back at us with an innocent smile.
"What was that?" I asked.
"Nothing." Ken replied, his smile still on.
"You sure?" I asked with suspicion.
"Yep."
"..."
"..."
"Hey Yuji," I called.
"Hmm," Yuji hummed.
"Any kind of explanation?" I asked as I looked at him.
"Well–" Yuji was about to answer but Satoshi beat him to it.
"Naked food."
"..." ×3
"Hehehehe, it's not what you think it's I swea–" Ken was making excuses but I already stared at him with sheer disgust.
"Tch." I just spit on the floor as I continued to stare at this lil jew selling porn to kids.
"Okay you know what? I am so proud of you, you know." Ken suddenly said with literal stars shining in his eyes, looking at me like I had just won a championship. Trying hard to deflect the topic.
"Why?" I asked, still glaring at him.
"Don't play dumb, man." Ken leaned in, his voice dropping to a whisper. "I am the son of the clan head of the Yamanaka clan. I know what you did." He said with a smirk that made me want to punch him.
"What?" Yuji lazily asked while looking at Ken, clearly not invested but curious enough to ask.
"Mito-sama announced that our brute friend here is going to become Tsunade's fiancé, and she invited us to celebrate." Ken said loudly enough for the entire class to hear.
The silence that followed was deafening.
Then...
"What?! What the fuck?!"
"Awww!"
"Nooo way!!"
"Oh my gawd!!"
"NOOOO!! THAT'S IT!! I WILL COMMIT SUICIDE!!"
"How can that be?!"
"Dan dan daaaaannn!!"
"Ahh my heart!!"
"Who the fuck cares?! Eat shit!"
"I do! I care! We all do! She was my crush man!"
"My Bonita!!! Noooooo!!!"
"Life sucks."
"Don't worry man, too many ass exists for all of us."
"Yes but that ass was different."
"..."
Every boy in the room looked like they had just been told their entire life was a lie. The girls were a mix of shocked and sadness. Some still didn't care. They were the lesbians.
Yuji's eyebrows had actually risen past their usual half-mast position. Satoshi stopped munching on whatever he was eating for a whole TWO seconds before continuing.
"Who do you think you are to take my Tsunade just like that?!" A burly kid who still looked like a kid compared to me suddenly cried out and came running toward me with a flying kick that would have been impressive if it wasn't so predictable.
I tilted my head to the right, letting the kick sail past me. Ken, Satoshi, and Yuji had already scattered away like they knew what was coming.
*Grab.*
I caught him by the cheeks, my fingers digging into his face, and stood up, lifting him off the ground. His legs kicked uselessly in the air as he struggled against my grip.
With my free hand, I magically pulled out a pen from somewhere and held it between my fingers.
*Swoosh.*
My hand blurred and stopped with the tip of the pen millimeters away from his eye. One push and he'd become blind.
"Piss off." I said indifferently near his face.
Then I threw him back to wherever the hell he came from.
*Crash Break!*
"Seems I have been too lenient these past weeks and you guys have forgotten your places. So let's not waste time, who's got a problem, come forward." I said as I glared at the rest of the class, my voice echoing off the walls.
The room went dead quiet. The kids who had been whispering a second ago were now staring at me with wide, fearful eyes.
Good.
"Ken! You loud mouth–" I was about to reprimand Ken for being a loose bastard but then I heard it.
"Actually, I do have a problem."
I raised an eyebrow in surprise. 'At least there's one who's not a pussy, I guess.' I thought, a small grin forming on my face.
"And who might you be?" I asked while looking behind the students, who made way to reveal a brown-haired tall young man with completely white eyes.
"Gasp! Tenshi?!"
"It's Tenshi!"
"Finally someone stood up to that chakra-less boy!"
"Yeah!"
"He was really getting on my nerves, and now he stole Tsunade from us. I hope Tenshi teaches him a lesson."
"Crush him Tenshi!"
"Yea–"
*Swoosh Bam.*
"AGHH!"
I threw an eraser at the head of the yeah-yeah kid, sending him flying into a group of students who scrambled away from him like he was contagious.
Then they all looked at me cautiously with sweat running down their faces.
'He really gets on my nerves every time he speaks.' I thought as I focused back on the spermy dude.
"I am Hyuga Tenshi from the Hyuga clan. Main family." He replied with so much arrogance in his tone that I was surprised.
'Another young master?!' I thought.
When did this become Chinese?
Though, it doesn't matter, Japan is part of the mainland like Taiwan. I will tolerate it for once.
Hail president Xi.
"So you wanna fight?" I said with a small mocking smirk. Ken's big mouth was actually making my day better.
"Hmph. For someone who has no chakra, you sure are arrogant." He said in that same mocking tone, his white eyes narrowing at me.
"Well, you can even take that as a handicap if you want." I replied with a smirk that made tick marks appear on his forehead.
"Don't get cocky just because you beat a weak student. This time it will be different. Your fate is already decided." He said in a superior tone that made me want to laugh.
Instead, I grinned savagely, the kind of grin that made the other students shift uncomfortably in their seats.
"Mhehe, I hope so then." I replied, my voice dripping with anticipation.
It has been some time since I moved my muscles genuinely outside training.
Maybe I should invite Dai to train with me from now on.
"Then today, we will have a fight after academy finishes." He said, then quickly turned around to go back to his seat because the lessons were about to start.
I sat back down. The students started to disperse, whispering among themselves in excitement about the upcoming fight.
"I am sorry, I didn't mean to cause this, but your glare was making me scared." I heard Ken apologize while scratching the back of his head in embarrassment.
"You don't need to. I actually quite like where this is going." I replied with a small smile as I slowly dozed off, letting sleep take me.
"Sigh, you are troublesome." Yuji lazily said from beside me.
"Without problems, life is meaningless" I replied with a small smile that made Yuji shake his head in disappointment. I just shrugged at him and let the darkness take me.
-------
Later at the Academy's Fighting Stage/
On a circular stage at the academy, two individuals stood opposite each other with a crowd of students surrounding them, buzzing with excitement.
"I hope you are ready, because I am going to crush your will and teach you that your fate could only get you to this moment." Tenshi said with such disdain I could practically taste it.
"What in the hell are you talki–Ayo! Chunin teacher who I don't remember your name, can you please start this match already? I have a date with my lover after this, so let's be quick." I said nonchalantly, not giving two shits about this weirdo, while looking at the chunin man whose mouth was twitching.
"My name is Katsuki Maz–"
"Who cares man? Just let's start." I interrupted the Katsuki guy, who was grinding his teeth in anger, and turned back to look at Tenshi, who was giving me mocking smiles. I responded with my own innocent smile that sent shivers down the spines of every student watching.
"Okay then... START THE FIGHT, YOU BRATS!" The chunin teacher yelled in anger while looking at me with tick marks and veins all over his face.
'Bust his ass Tenshi! I choose you my boy!' Katsuki cried internally, but a moment later his rationality came back and started praying for Tenshi because he knew his ass will be handed to him.
I picked my nose, looking at Tenshi with boredom. He went into a peculiar stance that made me raise an eyebrow in surprise.
'A Baguazhang stance? Or something similar.' I thought, my eyes examining his every move and muscle movement.
Baguazhang is a Chinese martial art that emphasized circular movements, agility, and adaptability. It was known for its distinctive walking techniques where practitioners moved in a circular pattern, often imitating the movements of the eight trigrams from the I Ching.
I had mastered it years ago.
"Some peculiar stance you are in." I said while looking around for Tsunade but not finding her except for the Horny one and the Snake. 'Seems Mito has better things to teach her.' I thought with a nod to myself.
"This is the stance of my clan's secret technique. Gentle Fist!" He said with so much pride at the end that I almost felt bad for what was about to happen.
"Then bring it on and let me see what you got." I said with a small relaxed smile while putting my hands in my white pants pockets.
"Behold, the power of the Hyuga clan!" He said as he dashed toward me with his arms behind his back and his feet releasing a tinge of blue chakra to enhance his speed.
He appeared before me and struck with his index finger at my left shoulder. I dodged to the right. He didn't stop and started relentlessly throwing strikes at me, which I just dodged with a small smile on my face and my hands still in my pockets.
*Strike... dodge... strike... dodge...*
Yawn.
"This is getting disappointing." I said in boredom with a yawn after some time as I continuously dodged his strikes. Tenshi was getting visibly angry now, his face reddening with each missed hit.
"You're making fun of me?" He said as he stopped a few meters away from me.
"Yes." I replied with a smirk that made his forehead grow some veins in anger.
"Hmm? I thought it was your eyes that became creepy, not your forehead. What's wrong with you?" I said with a mocking smile.
'Just use it, dammit.' I thought in annoyance, expecting more from him.
*Swoosh.*
He dashed toward me a little faster than before and threw a punch, which I grabbed easily with my palm much to his surprise. I just moved my arm and threw him away to the other side with a bored expression. He flipped in the air and landed on his feet.
He looked at me seriously and calmly for a moment before doing a hand seal in front of himself. Veins spread around his eyes, and I felt a little bit excited.
He crouched down and pumped more of his bluish chakra into his feet.
*Swoosh.*
This time he appeared before me far faster than before, at exactly high genin speeds, which made me hum and nod at him in my mind.
"Eight Trigrams, Sixteen Palms!" He shouted, and I had the urge to cover my ears for a second.
I stood straight in my place but put one of my hands on my balls to protect them just in case.
I could see the movements of his hands clearly.
I contracted my muscles.
Adamantine Kata: Indestructible.
"Two consecutive strikes!" Tenshi started to shout as he gently hit certain locations on my body. I felt something foreign try to invade me for a second, but it failed obviously.
"Four consecutive strikes!"
"Eight consecutive strikes!"
"Annnd Sixteen consecutive strikes!"
After the sixteenth one, he immediately backed away and looked at me with a smirk.
I looked at him for a second. And waited to see what all his bullshit led him to, but as expected.
Nothing.
"You dumbass!" I said with a shadow hiding my face.
"What did you just say?!" Tenshi asked with a serious angry face.
"You are a Hyuga with cheat eyes, yet you still can't see that I have no tenketsu in my body. You sure you aren't blind or something? I thought you already knew it." I asked in ridicule and smirked.
"The Gentle Fist is the best Taijutsu created known to man. A chakra-less person like you know nothing!" He said as he narrowed his eyes and focused on my body carefully. Then his eyes widened so much I thought they might pop out of his skull because the Gentle Fist didn't work as he intended at all.
"There are two types of students. One memorizes everything in their books without even knowing what they are memorizing, and the other understands what they are memorizing. You are the first kind." I said calmly, watching him process my words. "All this time, your focus was on my eyes instead of my body, which I still don't get how you do that with your 360-degree vision. But anyways, let's continue."
"How in the hell are you even alive?! Chakra is the source of life. Without it, you would just die! Even if you have no tenketsu or chakra, my chakra invading your body must have crippled you already!!" He cried loudly with his fists clenched, his composure completely gone.
*Swoosh Paw.*
I didn't wait to listen to his nonsense. I appeared before him fast and threw a normal punch at his chest, which he blocked with his forearms with difficulty. After that, he quickly started to strike my body again.
"Eight Trigrams, Thirty-Two Palms!" He shouted again and relentlessly started to strike my non-existent tenketsu.
'Tch, this dumbass never learns. Sighhh, I guess my fights with people like Dai and Mito really make these kids look more like... kids? They have no experience.' I thought in confusion as his fingers pinched uselessly at my skin.
*Pinch pinch pinch.*
Should I laugh? That actually tickles.
"Two consecutive strikes!"
"Four consecutive strikes!"
"Eight consecutive strikes!"
"Sixteen consecutive strikes!"
"AHHHHH! Thirty-two consecutive strikes!" He shouted at the end and again backed away to look at me from afar.
I gave him a glare for a moment and then put a very wide, disturbing grin on my face.
"Thank you." I said, my grin still plastered on my face.
"Huff Huff for what?!" Tenshi asked in confusion and exhaustion, his chest heaving.
"You talked about fate and that nonsense, right?" I said as I prepared myself to launch at him.
"Wha–"
*Swoosh.*
Before he could say anything else, I appeared in front of him with a speed he couldn't follow.
And just for the sake of ridicule, I uttered:
"Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms."
Then I began to strike his tenketsu with the exact same locations he had used on me.
*Pinch pinch pinch!* ×32
"People should really learn to take accountability for their own incompetency instead of blaming fate and god or some shit." I said as he stared at me with wide eyes and an open mouth.
*Thud.*
He fell loosely to the ground as if his strings had been cut.
Ding...
[You copied Taijutsu —> Gentle Fist]
I immediately checked its details with a frown because I knew there was a crucial thing I was missing for this style.
[Gentle Fist: A form of hand-to-hand combat used by members of the Hyūga clan. It inflicts internal damage through attacking the body's Chakra Pathway System, subsequently injuring organs which are closely intertwined with the area of the network which has been struck. To do this, the user surgically injects a certain amount of their own chakra into the opponent's chakra pathway system, causing damage to surrounding organs due to their proximity to the chakra circulatory system. Even the slightest tap can cause severe internal damage, hence the name "gentle" fist.
Note: You have no chakra to effectively use this.]
'Tch, I knew it wouldn't be easy.' I thought while looking at the pitiful boy who had just received thirty-two weakened Shigans to his body instead of the tickling stuff he did on me.
