Pov: Obito Uchiha.
"Takumi- come on your slowing us down!" I yell out behind us.
We have to lessen our flickering because of him... we are one of the fastest teams here! Constantly forced to keep up with Minato-sensei!
Why is he not taking this seriously?
"Don't be so harsh on him..." Rin tells me.
"He could at least put some effort in this exam if he was going to take a spot in our team" I grumble.
"What if he is that slow?" Rin asks.
"He can't be- I've seen him put effort into things before, he has to be faster" I argue.
"You guys go ahead. I will ensure I am at that building in time" Takumi calls out.
"See- he is just messing around" I tell her and flicker forward, to which Rin follows.
Why can't he see how important this is to me? He knew that he was terrible with genjutsu and did nothing, he knew he was a one trick pony and did nothing!
He could of at least looked awake today instead of keeping his eyes half-closed.
Pov: Takumi Uchiha.
This is another upset.
Speed has never been my strongest card, in fact it was the weakest part of me in my last life too- which is why that cursed spiteful wretched speedster was selected for my disposal.
I can sustain a speed over a long time but I lack a lot of acceleration and high speed abilities.
Meaning I am slow.
So how do I conquer the distance between me and this building? I have seen multiple teams pass by me and I am certain that I am in last place.
My teammates can advance luckily but I am the one in need of help.
Of my abilities I can see one option.
High momentum impact sends me flying and I shape my own crashing impact into another blast of power emit from the right angles to send me forward at high speeds.
A sort of ragdoll rush.
Problem encountered- Initial impact?
Solution, tall trees make a great fall.
*Flicker!*
I rush up a tree using the tree walking method and crawl my way up as quickly as I can- reaching the top of the trees I swiftly leap backwards and swan dive into the ground.
*Whistle~*
My fall is almost comically long but soon enough- *CRASH!*
My body stiffens upon contacting the ground and I focus all that impact into the back of my leg which sends me flying forwards!
*Woosh!* *Crack!*
My forehead slams into a rock and I absorb the impact redirecting it again.
Very well- it works. Similar to my flurry technique.
[Ragdoll Rush] technique will be added into my list of Taijutsu.
*BAM!*
My chest impacts against a trees base before flying faster at a branch- *BANG!* My chin meets the branch and my body wraps around it as the energy is sent to blast me forward.
Though I do need obstacles for this to work in a chase, the desert would be terrible but forests are perfect for this technique to function.
*CRASH!*
My left side is slapped by a blur of a tree and again my impact sends me flying further.
I also need momentum- I have an insane high capped speed here due to the great fall, but without tall trees something will need to power this speed.
Another flaw found. Perhaps this ability is only useful here.
Hn- I will fix it like the others.
*WOOSH!* *WOOOSH!* *WOOOOOSH!*
Pov: Shikaku Nara.
"This test is different this year" Chozu notes.
"Yes, speed over survival at this point- we need more chunin to take on some critical roles while everyone else is away. This test ensures no one dies unlike the normal survival test we keep track of" I explain.
"Doesn't that effect the ninja's growth?" Inoichi asks.
"Yes, but this is war- and they can be re-evaluated at another time, consider this a pseudo exam" I reply.
...
"That's not all is it? It changed due to the Lazy kid" Inoichi asks me with a raised brow.
I sigh and smile.
"What a drag, can't get anything past you. Yes, I insisted the change was made to exploit some of his weaknesses, mainly his lack of care and speed. I believe he should pull his own weight instead of leading us on with false promises of potential power" I shake my head softly.
"That makes sense. Doesn't matter to me much anyway- practically every genin we signed up today has proven themselves in the field and at the last exam as a bare minimum, this exam is more like a competitive tournament to get a title and rank instead of a proof of experience" Inoichi acknowledges that.
...
"How many teams have made it through?" I ask Chozu.
"Four, Obito and Rin have arrived without Takumi" He explains.
I smirk.
"See, he is dead weight. Let's go wait with the genin at the entrance, speed things up a bit so I can get onto helping Lord Hokage with his paperwork this evening" I add and we all walk out into the main entrance.
"Congratulations those of you who have made it this far, let us wait for the last team to arrive before we begin" Chozu takes the lead as we stand behind him.
"Who are you betting on?" I ask quietly.
"Takumi" Inoichi whispers back.
"Why? He is probably far behind" I tell him.
He merely points outside and I turn to focus my gaze.
Like a corpse blasted into a tornado his body flops around without care and smacks against a tree before- *BANG!*
Slamming his head against the top of the door and flipping his body multiple times as he descends into the- *Slap!*
Floor.
...
What a drag... I give up, I am not putting anymore effort into this- I said my part and the Hokage can take it into consideration himself.
Pov: Takumi Uchiha.
I peel my face from the floor and dust myself off, nodding upwards at Obito who breaths out a sigh of relief.
"You made it!" Rin lets out a breath herself.
"Congratulations Takumi!" Maito shouts.
"Did someone throw you in?" Another voice murmurs.
"Why is he here...? He is barely a genin..." Another voice rudely mingles in the conversation.
"Congratulations. Your team is here and passed, now fuck off. You're no longer needed" The white eyed teenager comments rather loudly.
"Rude. What did I ever do to you?" I remark.
"Wait here everyone! I will talk to the teams who didn't make it in time!" Chozu walks outside and past me as I step forward to the white eyed genin.
"You don't belong here, you are the Lazy Uchiha. Sitting comfortably with a pay check while everyone else works themselves to death" He mocks.
"Understandable. But I didn't want this pay check, the Hokage forced my hand into a deal. I was happy to work at a local bookshop and sleep without concern. Your anger is misguided" I note with an annoyed tone.
"My anger is well guided you little Uchiha brat- you have talent and waste it, so many more could have lived if not for your laziness!" He spits anger at me.
"So someone close to you died? Is that the case?" I frown.
"Takumi..." Rin groans out a whisper to get me to stop.
"One station- one scouting position left unfilled due to a lack of shinobi- one fucking empty position let an entire unit of Stone ninja into our camp and only seven out of fourteen ninja survived! Three permanently retired from injuries! My sensei dead! My girlfriend dead! My teammate doesn't have eyes anymore Uchiha! He doesn't have a left leg! Because we lacked just one more shinobi to help us!" He yells out loud and not even the Jonin wish to interrupt at this stone cold fact.
"One ninja changes the entire battle doesn't it?" I repeat his words.
"So why do you mock their deaths! Their losses! Why do you insist on lazing around while WE- ARE! AT WAR!" He screams with a rage so deep in his core.
"I have talents in murder- my only missions would be of killing someone else's sensei, brother, father, mother, sister, friend or more-" I reply calmly.
"Who the hell cares!? KILL THEM! We aren't play fighting the other nations! We didn't beg them to attack us! And you don't just get the privilege of deciding your missions! You get put where you are put- and then you do it! You were born in a clan and you MUST protect the village you serve! There is no buts or ifs- that's your life! And the Hokage swaddling you like some entitled baby is not fair on anyone else! You need to get off your ass and do your part. Else there is no point in your continued existence" His face is practically red at this point and I take a step back as Chozu places a hand on each of our chests.
"Save it for the tournament. I will ensure you both go first so don't break the rules and keep to yourselves until the first fight" Chozu pushes us away from each other and we are all placed into another room, shaped like an arena.
The Hokage, Fugaku and the three Jonin stand at the end, while a few Sensei watch from above.
The Hokage begins his speech but I ignore it in favour of my internal monologue.
He is right.
Takumi is lazing around- in every part of Takumi's existence that white eyed genin is correct.
I am lazy- I am doing nothing- I should be doing something!
But!
I am not this child! I am the Emperor of Blades! I am resting! Mourning! Even if it takes another eleven years of rest I will not have even scratched the surface of effort I wasted in my last life!
Every waking moment- training- murder- marching- training- killing- pillaging- conquering- protecting- murdering- tracking- training- marching- burning- slashing- piercing- training- cutting- training and it goes on and on endlessly!
I couldn't sleep the second I awoke my second aspect- the Old Fool relentlessly built my unyielding mind to never give in to sleep- I had every moment of every day to pour more effort into my wasted life!
I had- every hour! Of every day!
And I wasted it on being a blade! I never saw my wife, my friend's! My teachers! My home! My bed! My walls! My ceiling!
Always the cold training grounds or dark basement where that grandfather of mine tortured me until I figured out a way to wring out the towel even more- dragging out every inch of power I could muster!
Every bleeding second! Wasted!
Every fight! Every battle! Every drop of blood I dripped was meaningless!
I was a tool! A sharp one- that was used until it broke, not even allowed to go near the dull shed in which I could have been well kept and cycled out.
Not even a drop of rest.
Just pure effort.
So yes- I deserve this rest and none can ever change my mind on that, not even the Old Fool could twist me back.
Because I made a promise to myself!
I told this world to watch me rest- so that when I am needed my Empire could see me save it again!
...
My Empire...
I accepted this reincarnation to protect it even more, I was meant to reincarnate in my home! Amongst my people.
My Old Fool made me promise to rest, and on my deathbed I lay still- warning him that nothing could stop me from fighting for it again.
...
It's dead.
Gone.
I have no fuel to my fire anymore.
This Laziness is borne from spite against my last life's expectations and beliefs.
But it is also a corruption that spreads without the Empire to burn it away, no dream- no goal. Just this pitiful existence.
A place I hold no care for- Konoha.
Friends here who I know more about than the entire roster of people I knew in my past life.
The only saving grace for this planet is the people on it- the one's I got to know.
And I have to watch them dream as I dreamt, burn as I burnt- Die as I died.
...
I am pathetic. Lazy, and worthless.
I earned that.
And so will these genin.
"-Takumi?" Rin grasps my tightened hand.
"Yes, Rin?" I ask.
"He is right ya' know? You are a great friend, but I do hate that part of you" Obito comments with a harsh tone.
"Obito- let him calm down before-" Rin hushes him.
"-Before scolding me. You hate this existence of mine as well?" I ask, stone faced.
"... you just have some things to get through, it's nothing bad-" She begins to explain herself.
"I hate this too Rin" I tell her and look past her towards the Hokage.
"-And so, let this be a moment in your personal history books. The day you became a Chunin!" He yells out and most of the hall claps.
Me and the White eyed genin do not- sneaking a glare at each other through the genin gathered here.
I am getting angry at a child. What am I? What has become of my name? My will? My flame?
Did I not eat well this morning? Or is this sick feeling my emotions? My mind trying to tell me something?
"Everyone head up to view the first fight- Takumi Uchiha and Yū Hyuga! Begin on my command-" The purple clothed Jonin yells out and the crowd moves away.
...
We walk around each other to face one another properly.
"-Start!" The examiner calls.
Hn.
I take a breath, letting out all my anger.
I threw my tantrum and now I need to handle this poor traumatized kid.
It's my responsibility as the child he targets all his anger on- as the only one who knows my side of the argument- as the one who knows better than to sow hatred.
"Yū is it? Your anger is not unfounded, your feelings are not invalidated- everyone in this hall and everyone within Konoha feels exactly as you do. So do understand that I am the only one who doesn't give any care towards your plight and it's terrible traumatizing consequences. No good deed goes unpunished and no amount of whining will ever change my mind" I summarise how I feel.
"You incompetent cold hearted wretched Uchiha- do you think that the Hokage would ever keep up his deal with you after saying that!?" He spits out hatred.
"I wanted him to cast me out years ago, I would be happy living under a rock. Because of that he understands that this deal is the punishment- that this meagre effort I offer is the worst thing he has to throw at me" I reply coldly.
"You truly are a cruel bastard" He mashes his teeth.
*Wooosh!* *Whappapapapapapa!*
A flurry of quick strikes assail me, I struggle to match the speed but successfully block every attack with my palms and release the impacts harmlessly beneath the floor.
*Woosh!* *Crack!*
He suddenly flips upwards and weighs down a heavy yet swift kick across my jaw and I turn that impact into a boost for my own kick that strikes him in the stomach as he descends.
*Bam!* *Swooosh*
He gets knocked back but slowly glides into a safe standing position as his feet slide across the ground.
*Woosh* *Whoo-*
He flickers forwards at me and strikes my palm- but my taijutsu fails to work.
*Bam!*
I raise my other hand to block and the impact is taken as normal- my chakra not flowing into my hand anymore.
*Whabababababababam!*
Strike after strike hits me- and he pushes his two arms deep into my chest as he seals off access to my chakra and sends me stumbling backwards.
*Tap- Tap*
I slow my stumble and stand tall as I search for chakra that is not moving to my will, or even flowing right at all.
The Hyuga slowly takes a breath and raises himself taller than me, straightening his back and letting out even angrier breaths.
"Look how weak you are. Failure in Genjutsu, failure in shinobi basics, failure in ninjutsu- failure in effort and failure to even uphold that taijutsu talent you are praised for. What even is your worth?" He mocks with heavy breaths.
I am the Emperor of blades! I protected my people and destroyed all my enemies!- and my worth is tied to my Empires great walls!
"I have no worth. No fuel, no flame. I am worthless" I click my tongue.
"And that's the saddest part of your entire existence. You know what you are doing is wrong and yet you still do it. It's cruel you Lazy shit" He curses.
"So are you done? Did beating the crap out of me change anything for you? Did cursing my name and shouting at the top of your lungs revive anyone? Save anyone?" I ask.
"The second you start acting like everyone else is the second I'll hold back my anger. So no, I am still angry" Yū scrunches his fists.
"I am stubborn. Unyielding. I will not budge on my beliefs, are you sure you want that anger to cloud your judgement? Forever claim a place in your mind? It is not good to bottle up anger" I tell him.
I am no therapist- in fact I am sure my words aren't helping.
All I know is to kill, and all I did was kill.
So even if it is my responsibility to handle this situation my lack of training within social situations has left this conversation sour.
"And you just won't shut up-" Yū rushes me.
*BAM!*
And swings a fist over my head.
I tap my forehead and notice blood dripping from it, a wound opened up? Blood won't stop dripping from that.
"If you even bothered to wear that headband- the symbol of our entire village- then that wouldn't have happened!" Yū grabs my hair and grasps my neck.
Lifting me up he begins to squeeze at my throat.
He grabs a kunai and places it to my forehead.
"Let me give you a reason to wear it, maybe then you will listen to your orders" He breathes heavily.
I glance to the side.
Fugaku seems to be holding the Hokage back with a guiding hand, and the other Jonin are listening to him.
Considering everything I don't blame them, I should have been punished far worse, far earlier.
Obito and Rin are stunned up above... not sure what to do- Obito wants to shout and Rin is ready to jump over the railings.
But Fugaku's glare ensures Namikaze keeps them still.
"A leaf symbol will do nicely to remind you of your duty to this village" Yū chuckles.
My eyes flash back into a memory-
-Memory of the past-
Pov: Emporer of Blades.
"The symbol of our Empire will do nicely to remind you of your duty, Emperor" My Old fool states as he hands me the hot branding iron.
"No- don't- stop! Please, don't listen to-" My father begs for forgiveness but I hold my branding iron tightly.
"Close of your mind young blade. That is no longer your father, he is an enemy of the Empire. He sold your Empires secrets, colluded with with our greatest rival!" The Old fool gags my father and I breathe out heavily, unsure of what to do.
He is our enemy.
But he was my father.
I haven't seen him in years, why did he sell himself to THEM of all people!? Why is he forcing MY hand!?
"He was kidnapped- he was taken, what would you do in that situation Emperor?" My Old fool asks me.
"Kill them or myself. And I would watch as they never saw the latter option" I repeat coldly.
But my heart is anything but cold- it's burning up as it beats even faster, rushing to break out of my chest.
"He sold himself to become a trophy. To save his own life and wound the Empire. Remember all those attacks? Those villages burnt and pillaged. Those secret passages exploited? Our arsenals in complete view? Your weakness exposed?" The Old fool continues.
...
That last comment stops my heart.
The Greatest rival to our empire, nearly killed me by sending one of their holy warriors.
And with complete faith that my weakness was real it grew- that enemy holy warrior used his Aura to enhance my weakness tenfold with his second aspect of faith.
"If you fell. The Empire would fall too" My Old Fool reminds me.
They were there.
At our capital- my wife was there, my friends were there, my teachers were there- all my people were there.
If I had died- if I fell when the enemy was at our doorstep...
I hold up the branding iron.
*Muffled screaming!*
My heart stopped- I need to start it again.
*SIZZZLE!* *TSSSSS!*
Flesh burns.
And I remove the branding iron from my chest.
The beating of my heart returns.
"You are right Old Fool. This brand will help me remember. I won't forget my duty" I state and drop the branding iron.
My Old Fool is taken aback, not expecting me to brand myself- and I leave no room for doubt in my heart as my hands cleanly cut through the Emperor- my fathers neck.
Pov: Takumi Uchiha.
-my hand touches my chest, unable to feel the pain of my brand anymore.
Not only did I give every physical effort- I gave every emotional and spiritual effort for my Empire.
...
The kunai starts to move.
*GRIP!*
My hand grips his and halts the kunai.
I gave up everything.
I am not willing to do that again- I loved my father, he was a hero to our Empire like me.
He was soft, wanted to live.
I didn't understand it then- the need to rest, let go. Give up.
But I do now.
*STRUGGLE*
I use both hands to try and stop his chakra enhanced grip.
"I gave up. I am not participating in your war. I was born in a corpse and I will not live amongst them- I am not a soldier and I have told everyone that many times. Leave me alone and go ruin your own lives" I seethe with my own pride.
"That wasn't the answer to get out of this" Yū struggles against my grip.
I have no chakra- he is easily five years older than me and on top of that he primarily is a taijutsu user.
*Stomp!* *Stomp!*
I kick at his chest but it does nothing.
"I'm sorry but this far too much- I am not going to sit back and watch a kid get branded while everyone watches" A Red headed Jonin I do not know jumps down and grabs Yū's arm.
"You of all people should know better than to brand someone else Hyuga" The Jonin comments.
"Leave it. I am his Clan head and I agree with this method" Fugaku commands.
"No- absolutely not! The Chunin exams are for young ninja to prove themselves! This is wrong- I will not stand by and let this happen!" The Jonin shouts back.
"Kushina..." The Hokage sighs.
"I can't believe you are sitting here letting this happen! This isn't right!" She yells.
"We have tried the right way multiple times before, this is a reoccurring problem that Takumi himself acknowledges and insists on using heavier methods to move him" The Hokage explains.
"Lord Hokage- if I may intervene here, I don't think this is the right move either" Namikaze jumps down and stands next to the Jonin.
"Oh? I would be interested in your view on this Minato" The Hokage seems to smile in relief.
"Correct me if I am wrong sir but you and Takumi made a deal at his graduation" Namikaze asks.
"Yes. We did" The Hokage nods.
"Then why is he being punished for following the compromise you agreed to?" Namikaze follows up.
"Because he has the potential to be one of the strongest Uchiha in our history, I truly feel that way- I can see the talent in taijutsu and I can see how easy it is for him to obtain it. He has power and our clans blood backing him, and with those two things comes responsibility" Fugaku stands in and answers.
"He is not in my clan Minato, this is a matter of discourse between Takumi and the consequences of his compromise" The Hokage sighs regretfully.
"But he didn't want to attend the academy- become a shinobi at all! Isn't he just a civilian we have forced into fighting? Aren't we doing the opposite of protecting our village by forcing the unwilling to fight for us?" Namikaze argues.
The Hokage's eyes widen a little as he glances towards Fugaku.
"This is not a matter for you to poke through-" Fugaku argues back and I ignore the rest of this interruption to focus on what's happening to me now.
My chakra is not flowing... his technique poked around my entire body- specifically targeting organs and odd areas.
My chakra won't work at all- it's as if he shut it off.
I try to build up chakra in my gut but I doesn't move- or rather it clashes with the very idea of being built up.
As if a gate was stopping me from going further down the road, what a unique taijutsu application.
How did he know where to strike? To lock these invisible gates across my entire body?
And the gentle taps that he rapidly dished out onto my body has internal wounds built up beneath the skin? Like a chakra scalpels ability to cut beneath the skin, and how I used that idea to send impacts underneath other targets flesh.
How to deal with this? What do I do?
Hn. I blink and recall every spot he poked, my mind rushing for an answer.
I just need to unlock these gates again, he has the key and I don't however.
I can't flood my chakra pathways due to the fact that my internal pathways are needed to build up chakra in the first place.
I let go with one hand and trace my chest with a finger, pressing the few places he tapped.
The pathways I need to open again to build up chakra and bulldoze the rest of my chakra systems gates.
I don't have chakra to open them still- but I know where to inject it now.
Hn? If I could control these gates I could store an impact- sealing off its release and keeping it within a closed loop by locking the gates that turn out of the chakra loop.
Impact storage? Just what I needed, though I probably can't let that impact run about within me for a while- even in theory I could probably only hold it for a minute at maximum.
To do that I require the ability to unlock a gate without chakra.
This 'lock' that's on me now seems like a disruption in more accurate terms, puncturing a hole with chakra and disturbing the system entirely- it won't last but it isn't naturally fixing itself soon.
I would need an impossible amount of control to just 'will' the disturbed chakra back into line.
Hn- technically I have a disturbing amount of practice with doing exactly that to Aura instead, my second best ability was my Unyielding mind.
I also have exerted the same sharp will on my chakra before- except that ended with it cutting me across my entire body as I grieved.
Hn- 'Unyielding!'
...?
I suppose I can be as unyielding as I want but without the technique to attach it towards disrupted chakra I am at a loss.
I need to flood my chakra paths again- if I had a secondary source of chakra I could do that, unfortunately I do not.
Chakra primarily builds up in the heart- maybe I could blow a hole in the gate blocking my chakra from functioning?
I am yet again stumped by the same problem- no chakra to affect the things inside my body.
Solution- my physical energies such as my stamina and my spiritual energies such as my intellect are waiting to mix.
I cannot manipulate these energies without chakra- and the chakra system naturally guides them into a mixture.
What if I pump my heart rapidly while producing as much thought as I can within a single moment- will that create a spark of chakra big enough to break the lock on my hearts chakra lid?
"-I wasn't paying attention to your conversation but I would like to state that the Hokage cannot go back on his word- I will kill myself if captured and go rogue if he does. Fugaku can have a problem with me after this fight is over. Can I keep going? Or are you all going to keep rambling on and on?" I interrupt the argument and grip the hand again.
"He is right- back to your positions, this is against the rules and Takumi himself has yet to forfeit from this battle. The second he does is the second you can intervene" The Hokage commands and the Jonin named Kushina lets go of the genin's wrist, mumbling something to herself as she flickers back up.
I feel the force assault me like before and I smile as the kunai attempts to press forward, back into that stalemate we just left.
Physical activity to raise my heartrate- *Whackackack!*
I start kicking his chest rapidly while holding my breath, easily masked by him strangling me with his other hand.
My heart pumps faster and faster and I begin to churn my mind- extreme emotions like stress can cause heart problems and so I will weaponize it.
And I have loads of mental baggage waiting to be picked up once more.
*Thump!-Thump!* *Thump!*
*Thump!- Th- Th-*
*Th-*
My vision darkens and my heart suddenly stops- an unexpected error.
With Aura I had full control over it, I was Aura and Aura was me- Aspects of myself manifested into power.
Chakra is different- feels alien to me, I can control it but it is also not me in the same sense, like a limb.
You can't cut off Aura from the person but you can certainly can sever chakra from a person.
And so this physical system of chakra obviously has biological reactions I didn't account for.
I think- theoretically. That my intense increase of both energies and the disrupted chakra system caused my heart to stop as the chakra had no path to follow.
And so I generated more and more disrupted chakra in my heart instead of fine chakra gathered in my system to create a flood.
To picture an image I spawned in more and more rain instead of generating water via a river opening up to the lake in order to overflood it.
My heart stopped beating because it the disrupted chakra around it is causing my organs to malfunction quite like the gentle taps caused my organs to malfunction on a much smaller level.
My vision grows darker.
"Did you just- he just stopped his heart" The genin choking me loosens his anger for a second and switches it with confusion.
He can see that? Is that the secret to targeting my internal systems with his taijutsu? How intriguing, I wonder if I could replicate that technique?
Hn!
A thought clicks into my head- my mind tries to 'will' the storm of chakra around my heart.
It's built up this time, some of it must be squished into my chakra system- capable of being controlled in such a large quantity even if disrupted.
I start to sweat as my face pales and my legs stop kicking.
It would be borderline impossible to control just a spec- only the greatest could do such a thing.
And I have only trained to jonin level of control- it would be insane to make that leap.
But I am dying. And I have a track record of doing vastly more difficult things in much more 'dead' states so I won't act surprised when I achieve this goal.
In fact if I do not achieve this goal I will be greatly surprised.
I'll simply take my 'last' breath and hold it.
Look the genin in his eyes as my vision starts to falter.
And then breath out that breath as my 'talent' takes over.
I am not the most lucky man when it comes to crawling back from loss.
I am not the most brilliant mind when it comes to weaving a path to victory.
I am not the most gifted when it comes to outside help either.
But I am talented in the sense that my Old Fool inflicted terrible things onto me and let me learn how to rid myself of those terrible things myself.
Every day of my life I have been sharp and unyielding- even before I awakened those aspects I was naturally inclined to be better than every one else.
With both haunting experience and unyielding sharpness at my side I can achieve it all.
Because I am better. I am sharper. And none can match my strength of will!
*Fwooo*
A breath returns to me as I use a grain of chakra to pull in a drop of disturbed chakra.
*Haaaa-*
I take another breath as I drag more and more chakra into my hearts chakra system safely- weaving it around the organ and breaking the lock on it's chakra lid.
*Thump* *Thump*
It begins to beat again.
And as my chakra surges through my primary chakra system I feel it's refinement- the control I have is outclassed.
Death still can't claim me!
"What- you undid my-" The genin pushes his kunai with all the might he can muster.
*SLAM!*
I kick his chest and absorb my own impact- sending it flying through my neck and into his grip.
*Slam!*
I kick off of him with my other foot and flip out of his loosened grip before sliding away and into a safe standing position.
I raise my block and my heart pumps adrenaline throughout my entire body- my chakra fills back up and I crack my neck after it was mishandled.
Hn.
I came here out of boredom and I ended up reaching an unparalleled level of chakra control. I also pushed myself too hard and died on accident.
What is wrong with me?
Thanks for reading! :)
