[No recap no jutsu, been struggling for the past hour trying to post. Also felt like I was wasting my time doing it.]

Honestly you had no clue precisely what Kin was talking about as the two of you glance at one another from opposite ends. It would be a rather impressive game of intimitation if the both of you weren’t currently blind as bats or bagermoles. The only close to it you could think about was the possibility that it was one of the things that Ami wanted to tell you. It was still quite the blur given that Ami was hijacking your mind. Something something Kimera no Jutsu. Again you weren’t sure why but it strangely made you think to your own Shinra Banshou.

Could Ami have something akin to it but with organic life rather than inanimate matter? This was really the perplexing ordeal to be slapped with. Now you didn’t regret what you did to her in response to her actions. But you started to realize that there was some answers that you need to get. Or you could always toughen through since you strongly dislike having any sort of confrontation with Ami. Either way, you needed to address the elephant in front of you. In spite of this you decide to play it cool. It wasn’t like she could read your mind or anything.

“Strong words for a lackey. I'm not counting on you getting past Shikamaru but be sure to call me for Orochimaru's next masterful ploy, whenever that is.” You gave a consistent smirk as you fold your arms. If it wasn’t for your blindness, you’d positively look quite intimidating to Kin. In exchange, you decide to flare out your chakra as it takes the form of a Rakshasi with some feline traits. Kin could only bat an eye as she noticed the chakra construct.


“Ever playing the tough act. Some say that when a cat hiss it’s because they’re afraid but putting up a tough act to scare the enemy. They only consider fighting when there’s no other way. And judging from the strands of hair and your own heart rate ...I think I hit it out of the park with that analogy.” Kin smiled, sitting down on the bench as she crosses her legs.

“Although... since you’re so quick to being paranoid. Who’s to say that Orochimaru hasn’t already claimed Sasuke? I mean he’s already a no show. Sure he may be the last match of the first bracket. But who knows? He might not even showed up. And I’m highly doubtful that on the chance that Kakashi of the Sharingan is there that he can stop someone like Orochimaru.” Kin glanced, keeping a sly smile while looking intently at you.

>>3715784

“What are you getting at?” You calmly asked. You weren’t expecting Kin to actually be connected to what you saw in the glimpse of Temari’s memories but you couldn’t rule out that possibility. It’d be nice if you could get vectors of attack, estimation of enemy numbers, weak points, possible targets of interest, etc. Any tidbit of information would be far more helpful than having none.


“I’m just having a little chat. Maybe even indulge you a little and share some info with you. After all, you gave quite the showing just now. Between your little freakout in the forest of death and this, I can’t help but wonder...Just how far has the fangs of Nature sank into you?” As Kin says this, you would catch her chakra leaking out from her body.

With your other senses it was slowly becoming clear as the fuzziness fades. It took the form of a bakeneko much to your annoyance. However, it was merely the beginning as it begins to morph itself. The different shapes it took made it hard for you to judge but intense flames start to emerge from the construct. It was morphing itself from a mere bakeneko into a Kasha. To be more specific it was a Sokushinbutsu taking the attributes of a Kasha. Right down to having a bell collar around the neck as it gave of grin quite like a cheshire cat.

Seriously? I have no idea what's even going on anymore. If you're jamming in more of the Yokai angle I still have no clue.

And why the hell do Ami and Kin speak and act interchangeably. They're pretty much the same character at this point.

>>3716527

She's mainly taking action to the provoke. Though in actuality she would much settle it with fists.

Also it's just a battle of killer intent just move visible like with Zabuza or the Hokages. The figures are for dramatic flare.

Still, I'm trying to keep them different. So if there's a little slip up then I apologize.

>>3715793
>Try to use the bottle water to extract the sand out of your eyes

Writing shortly.

>>3716978

She’s not even being subtle about being a twisted doppelgangers of me. I now truly empathize with Lee over having someone copying your hard work and twisting it to fit their own vision. You brushed the temples on your broad forehead. As if you weren’t already having a type disadvantage at the moment you’d finally throw hands against Kin Tsuchi. Nonetheless, you remain calm and composed despite Kin bringing up some good points about Sasuke’s disappearance.


“I believe in my team, my friends, heck they’re practically family to me. I know a fact that Kakashi wouldn’t let Sasuke out of his sight or not come to his aid when he needs it most. And I also believe in Sasuke’s strength of will and heart. He’ll never succumb to Orochimaru’s power. If I can overcome it then I know Sasuke will do the same. He won’t go to your side, ever.” You said confidently, making a smile of your own as you reach forward to the bottle.


“Yin Seal: Anima. The proof of you strongly defying Orochimaru while in some way accepting the fact that you need power. Power to protect those you hold dear. Power to stand up to the ordeals that’s to come. And...Power to fight against whatever fate has in store. Between this and the Hero Water, I’d honestly have to say you have quite a sense of humor about what constitutes as legitimate gains of hard work. Or you’re really no different than me or any of us here and seek power through any means necessary. “ Kin replied, folding her arms as she continued to stare at you as both you kept out your auras to gauge the other’s reaction. You ended up narrowing your eyes if ever so slightly at the implication she threw.


“Let’s get one thing straight. Those unfortunate scenarios weren’t by choice. They were thrusted upon me by my enemies. I just turned a bad situation into a positive for me. It doesn’t negate the fact that I got to where I am through pure hard work. I didn’t need a Kekkei Genkai infused into me or some mad scientists playing doctor on me to try and make me into the perfect supersoldier by following Transhumanism. “ As you said this you popped out the cap rather aggressively. At best Kin made you only slightly annoyed but you experienced far worse in terms of the mental game. A certain person in particular being very good at just bringing out the worst in you a mere phrase.


“It doesn’t matter how you paint the house so long as the core infrastructure remains the same. “ Kin sighed a bit, dropping her own killing intent as it briefly caught you by surprise. Naturally you did the same but you didn’t drop your guard. She may have helped you just now but that nowhere near made you close to the Kusagakure Kunoichi.

>>3717179

"I'm curious, how much have you copied from me so far?" You asked in between using Shinra Banshou on your left hand. Touching the water with your transformed finger gave you a complete understanding of the composition of the liquid. It was as Kin said, it was pure, fresh bottled water. There wasn’t anything secretly buried underneath it. Thus, you looked at Kin with a brief bewilderment at her sudden fair-play.

“That look you’re giving me is pissing me off you know. “Kin replied, narrowing her eyes as she kept her distance from you. You felt all the more annoyed by that since your suspicion was justified. Especially after what you experienced through these chunin exams.

“Well excuse me. You did ambush me during the forest of death and your teammate blast me from behind with his pressurized air beams.” You snapped, still holding a bit of a grudge on that.

As you thought about it, Kin never once actually did do a sneak attack or underhanded trick on you. She’s always been straightforward and headstrong as you saw with Choji and Sasuke. You merely chalked it up to arrogance or some sort of psychological attack on you by mimicking your style. Even during introductions, they announce themselves to you before attacking. And back at the first chunin exam building, it was Dosu who underwent a sneak attack. Kin never insinuated anything of the sort.

“Have you forgot what I said...Actually scratch that you were lying on the floor in your own blood after having a lover’s spat with Sasuke. So let me repeat what I told your friends. Next time, we won’t run or hide. We’ll complete our final objective flawlessly without fail. To me, trying to take you out through shrewd tactics such as poisons or any other substance with the intent of weakening you isn’t my style. Ironic for someone who knows silent killing and can murder people with just a senbon. But I’m an old-fashioned girl. I like to get close and personal with my targets. Either a swift defeat with nobody being the wiser, or good old fashioned knuckle busting brawl, they’re both the same to me. “ Kin said, cracking her knuckles effortlessly mainly to get the point across. You weren't exactly keen about her calling you and Sasuke a couple. But you kept yourself from acting violent impulses.

At least she wasn’t the type to stab you behind the back. No, from what you gather she much rather stab you in the stomach, but not before having one hell of a catfight if given the choice.

>>3717318

“I’ll remember that if you make it past Shikamaru. Now back to my question. I know for a fact that everyone has been either focusing solely on training or gaining intel on the enemy. I’m going to assume you did both during these two months.” You questioned Kin, focusing mainly on moving the water straight to your bloodshot eyes. It started to move like floating globs of water currently levitating from the bottle and soon into your eyes.

By invoking Jiseiryū (Self-Control Method) you managed to turn off the nerves relating to your eyes, allowing you to keep them perfectly open without running risk of flinching. This made inserting the water into your eyes a much easier process. With your medical skills combined with your talents in Water Release you were able to carefully extract the dust and chakra infused sand out of your eyes. Next, you proceed to use the water to cleanse your eyes. Drawing out any remaining unwanted substance towards the surface and proceeding with treating your eyes.

Luckily there weren’t any signs of infection, let alone any risk of permanent damage to your eyeballs. Without the senses working you couldn’t feel any pain. Which of course would’ve made the extraction process that much harder even with your high tolerance to pain. Still, you weren’t out of the woods yet. There was a lot of additional things need to be done to truly restore your sight back to the way it should be.

>>3717337


Fortune soon smiled upon you as during the talk and extraction one of the medical nurses brought the exact tools and substances you asked for further treatment. They even have eyedrops for you to use as by the end of it they were still going to be a valuable resource. Sure you could have just regenerate your eyes but that would waste noticeably a lot more chakra than just using medical ninjutsu. These matches were endurance rounds and even with the chakra you gained from Temari it was ultimately better to be conservative.

“You say that I copied you and I won’t lie and say there's not any truth to that. But who’s the real copycat here?” Kin finally spoke after strangely giving you the peace and quiet needed to perform such complex medical procedure.

“What do you mean?” You asked in between of treating your eyes with the medical tools. The hard part was over so right now all you had left was clean up.

“Aside from the fact you’re trying to mimic how I sense and operate without eyes, there’s a couple of other things that I notice that’s painfully similar. Most importantly...you done some serious physical changes to your body. And I don’t mean undergoing puberty. Seriously with how trained you’re are if I punch your boobs it’d be like punching wet sand in a balloon...or an overinflated tractor tire from such firmness. ” Kin remarked, slowly getting up from the bench as she starts to walk towards you.

That Yuri undertone anon is going to be irked.

“Only warning. If you touch my boobs I won’t be as lenient as I was with my friend. You may just lose a hand over it.” You barked, momentary showing those elongated canines of yours. You already had one embarrassing moment, you weren’t set on experiencing it again.

“Relax I’m not here to start anything. Not when things are already set in place for the inevitable showdown. Besides, your heartbeat and muscle contractions are telling me that you’re dead serious with that threat.”Kin said,showing off her supernatural sensory by merely hearing all of it. You felt like dealing with the world’s most efficient lie detector as she was accurately reading your psychology through emotions but seemingly not the reasoning like with empathy sensing.


“Get back to what you said earlier about how you notice that I’d undergone a metamorphosis compared to what I was two and a half months ago.” You asked.

“You turned yourself into a living weapon. I don’t need the Shigan (Eye of the Mind/Heart) or my other acute senses to tell. From the chakra signature alone I can sense substantial gains compared to yourself back then. It’s almost like I’m standing in front of a completely different person. Course it doesn’t help when your obnoxious pink hair is now a shining snow white. It’s like you’re not even trying to be any article of traditional ninjas.” Kin remarked, swiftly placing her right hand against the wall. She was dangerously close to you as you could practically feel the body heat coming off her like the tension in the area.

“And yet it’s still far more silkier than your hair I imagine. Since you know I still can’t see nor do I want to touch your hair to find out.” You muttered, keeping your poker face as you kept your cool. It was rather off putting to have Kin so close to you especially under such conditions.

Before you could say anything else you felt the older woman’s hand against your face. Not making a single sound nor creating any vibrations, half of your senses were rendered useless as Kin catch you off guard. She kept to her word despite her sensitive yet rough skin soaking in the feedback she was getting from the contact. This was the only time you felt any form of vibration coming from Kin’s movements. Quickly you recall this method back in the first chunin exam when she seemingly tapped on a bell to perform something akin to echolocation for scrying. She was reading your entire physiology with a single stroke. Naturally you kept focus on healing but you still reframed from dropping your guard.

>>3718244

“Speaking of touch. A simple brush like this...and all of the body’s secrets come flowing to me like an endless river. You did well to gain control of yourself and overcome the influence of Anima. But at what cost? You’re obviously no longer the snot nose brat who was pretending to be a real ninja. Now one could find it hypocritical that you who criticized my actions about the morality but ended up willingly changing yourself to a similar agree. Took you nearly three whole months to change your composition to such degrees when I underwent years of experimentation and physical conditioning to achieve. Anima is truly a valuable tool.“ Kin said, now finished with her inspection but keeping her close distance towards you.

“Honestly I could care less about any of that. Only the mission should take priority. And yet...I can’t really fatum it. The feeling I have right now.” With the way Kin was talking you were feeling like you were getting some serious flag coming from the older woman. Therefore you begin to lean back as far as possible to make some form of distance given Kin was invading personal space.

"Woah, woah, woah, back off there. Between sneaking up and this you are sending me weird mixed signals. Banter's fine but I'm too young, well-educated and old school for flirtatious enmity." You exclaimed, feeling rather embarrassed over the entire thing but that didn’t stop you from trying to get under Kin’s skin by making her the pervert here.

“First off the fact you didn’t start with “Sorry I’m not into girls” already brings serious questions towards your sexuality. No wonder why you cause Temari to submit via the kiss of death or so they say. Secondly, you don’t get to play the well-educated card when you look more in touch with a barbarian rather than a scholar. Thirdly, old school? Really? Next you’re going to tell me you still think chivalry is still a thing. For someone who’s still a pre-teen, you’re sounding far older than you have any right to be.” Kin harshly criticized you while showing no sign of flustering or anger. Either she was good at masking her emotions or you miscalculated on those signs. Course you were far too distracted at the sudden implication of you and Temari being an item.

>>3718378

“What exactly are they saying about me Kin?! Already bad enough that you were probably creeping around me and my senior sensai Kabuki. Now I got this to deal with too! Actually how long have you been watching me anyway?! You got a bunch of potential information just rattling in that brain and you’re going to spill it you deviant!” You yelled, now pushing Kin off of you from the pin. In your haste you suddenly find yourself grabbing at something you clearly shouldn’t. Things were really getting complicated.

"...Ah~" Kin remarked, letting out an exaggerated sound. You weren't sure if she was screwing with you or her sensitivity was really biting her right about now.

>Screw the tension and tackle Kin down for a brawl
>Slowly let go and change the subject
>Apologize for the act while reaffirming you’re far too young to think about your sexuality.

Also for timeline sake just in case I didn't touch it with the Sand and Kusagakure Ninjas.

And nobody cares about Team Oboro. Though if I have to give a guess, they're 17-19. Same for the rest of Karin's team.

>>3718390
>Admit, to yourself at least, that you're interested in things like this. Stop bottling up your desires, just don't let them control you.
>Then, once you've acknowledged this aspect of your psyche, promptly work around it. Kin is a hostile, one who is loyal to Orochi-fucking-maru and a threat to you personally. She has a brilliant mind, and a body to match, but for now, especially now, you aren't interested in her.

>>3718440

Romance is on the last of my mind as like a good shonentard I'm fightsexual just like countless characters in fiction.

I just went with it cause it's funny since we been going with a long chain of serious drama and tension. Felt like it's better to balance it out with slapstick/comedy and wholesome goodness.

For that singular moment everything seems to be stopped. Like all manners of perception stood still and unflowing. It might just be the fact that your mind has stopped. Or Shinsei Mahachisu was moving your brain’s thought waves at a much faster rate thus achieving a sort of bullet time. Either way, you were overclocking over thinking about this perplexing situation. It would just be far easier if you just repressed these conflicting thoughts, ignore whatever feels inside and try and rebound to regain control over the situation.

Then it dawns upon you. All of your life you been doing this. This exact moment where you repress your emotions and desires to be in control. Making sure that you don’t willingly cause any negative repercussions and keep things stable. It was better to repress them to the point of being forgotten and hopefully never touching them again. Perhaps it was because of this that your mind ended up developing a second mind.

It didn't help that the second mind manifest itself as what you named Saigyo, a cynical and detached individual that represented your inner darkness and criticized every single move you did. Now you knew exactly why but it still didn’t change the fact that it was still unhelpful. At least until recently where she actually gave advice.

At this point you came to realize just how helpful having Sagiyo around. Mainly when she wasn’t being completely antagonizing to you and keeping your inner turmoil in check. But you didn’t have her helping you keep these conflicting feelings and thoughts from your psyche in check. Therefore, you soon came to a decision.

Not this time. You were no longer going to lie to yourself or repress your emotions and desires anymore. You were going to confront them and accept them for what they are. Only by doing so did you believe you would make substantial growth as a person. You have complete control over your body, it’s about time you did it with your mind and soul. And this was the first step. The next step was now acknowledging that you do have bi-curious feelings in addition to romance. This was going to be a lot to sort out over time but acceptance was the best way to tackle it.

>>3718971

Speaking of that you think back to Kin as you promptly work around this certain aspect of yourself. She was your senior by roughly two years older than you. She just oozes with confidence and . A brilliant mind and a well developed body. You could tell that while she is a byproduct of transhumanism she really did take training seriously. It made her talks about undergoing a “training from hell” all the more believable. Comparing to your form she was somewhat taller with a very noticeable musculature both in mass and definition.

It was looking like an older version of yourself, more specifically the vision you had as a kid. She may be a copycat but it didn’t change the fact that the majority of it came naturally. If she wasn’t a hostile threat who was loyal to Orochimaru, honestly you would promptly start developing a real kinship with Kin. Maybe even going further into actual romance. But for now, especially now you aren’t interested. Now if only you could convince Kin that with your compromising action.

By the time you came out of it, you would feel yourself currently lying against the ground. It seems during your train of thought Kin naturally took an appropriate response. By tackling you against the ground now pinned on top of you like a lion currently pinning their pray before going for the kill. Your vision was strangely coming back. Just in time to be greeted with Kin’s mature Sharingan. To make matters worse, you saw a rather sadistic smile on her face. You weren’t sure if you saw her pupils were like hearts or it was just your sight being still blurry.

“Finally came back from wonderland? Good. Cause you just triggered my lust for battle. Among other things. So are we going to fight or keep up this compromising banter?” An unexpected response from Kin. Honestly getting a broken nose from touching her chest would be the more likely situation you lend yourself to believe.

Now part 2 to the canon Naruto/Sasuke jabbing - The Fighting

Although your sight wasn’t at full working order you could still make out the crimson eyes. Those sharp eye piercing gaze sent a shiver down your spine. Out of convince you begin to draw out the full extent of Shinsei Mahachisu. After all, you were facing the fully matured sharingan despite it coming from a non-uchiha. But you didn’t drop your guard out of the possibility that the information on Sasuke would have naturally improved Kin’s Sharingan. It has been nearly 3 months after all. Still, you felt your heart racing as you begin to give into your battlelust.

“Took the words straight out of my mouth.” You made a rather angry smile before aiming to thrust your knee against Kin’s stomach. Despite your speed Kin would flip back to avoid the attack.

Quickly she did a series of flips to put some distance. Once her right foot touched the ground she swiftly dashes forward. Like a graceful assassin there was no wasted movement. In response to this you pulled back to dodge a well timed punch as you noticed the large cracks on the floor. Unsurprising that she was able to demonstrate such monstrous strength despite clearly holding back. The both of you were still inside the medical bay’s hallway.

You begin to move back in order to draw the fight away from the building to a secluded location. Even though you were developing a lust for fighting you still held your common sense. That and you didn’t want anyone to interfere with the long break given to fix up most of the arena. As you do this, you started to exchange punches with Kin. Each punch generated tremendous force as it connects with Kin’s. With knuckles practically touching you felt your worst fears having been met as Kin was matching your strength.

Knee strike blocked by an elbow strike, kicks against kicks, punch to punch, and even a headbutt to one another. The two of you were practically dancing as both of you tuned yourselves to the other’s rhythm. Synchronizing your moves perfectly in countering the incoming attack with one of your own. Although you were using Shinsei Mahachisu Kin was keeping up to your moves perfectly. Again you chalked it up to the maturity of her sharingan. Then again, you got the feeling that the sharingan wasn’t the key factor here. Such fluid movements and precise timing wouldn’t be possible for someone who is normally blind.

>>3719871

As you make it far into the outside grounds, Kin finally made her move by aiming a kick straight to your ankles. You timed a kick of your own as both you trip down onto the ground. Catching yourselves with your hands, the two of you continued this dance with a series of kicks. It really was like fighting your doppelganger. And yet you felt something strange in by exchanging blows with Kin. These movements were more than mere copying. But as you think about it, you quickly find yourself jumping back as Kin started a rolling kick. Judging how fast she was moving you honestly mistaken her with a giant buzzsaw as her kicks tear deeply against the ground.

Getting your footing together you made your next stand against the rolling kick by bracing both your arms in a x formation. The raw strength of the kick was enough to sink your feet deep against the ground as the force creates a strong gust of wind. Although she dropped her rolling axe kick against you, she was pressing forward to break against your guard. Struggling at first you pulled away to dodge the kick as it slams against the ground. Not letting this opening go you lung forward with a straight hook. Kin counters this through the use of her shin.

Now skitting back from the force of the blows, the two of you dash forward towards one another. Bumping chests against the other, the two of you held each other ground. You hated to admit it but her comparison to your chest was highly accurate. Because you felt the exact same against Kin’s as the two of you resorted to grappling. Fingers locked together the two of you begin to exert tremendous raw strength to overpower the other. The cracks on the ground spread as the foundation was being torn about this barbaric display of power.

Continuing this contest of raw strength you find yourself admitting that Kin was your equal. All that transhumanism demonstration wasn’t full of hot air. Just how far did she pushed herself to reach this point in such a short time? The more you pushed the more Kin pushed back as the ground cracks further from your monstrous strength. At the rate you were going this stalemate wouldn’t ever end. Part of you was naturally frustrated at this but on the other hand. You were finding enjoyment in this despite your hardwork and perseverance.

Regardless, you came up with the idea to use that broad forehead of yours to good use. From out of nowhere you deliver a rather swift and powerful forehead on to Kin. Despite delivering the brunt force of the blow, you still winced a bit from meeting with such resistance. You were going to have to make a mental note that Kin’s flesh was denser, tougher and rougher than yours. Still, you made enough force to break her nose as blood started to spill. As she starts to stagger back you prepared yourself to deliver a second headbutt.

Almost like a pendulum you find yourself experiencing exactly what you did to Kin upon suddenly receiving a powerful headbutt to the face. Blood begins to spill upon your nose from enduring the swift blow. Hand it to Kin to use your own force against you by withstanding the blow and arching herself back to maximize her own headbutt. You let go momentary, giving ground to a swift kick to the gut. You met the kick with a kick of your own as the two of you were pushed back. For a warm up this was rather intense.

You merely rubbed the nasal bridge as Kin applied pressure on hers to relocate it accordingly through sheer muscle control. Naturally you ended up doing the same but blood still dripped upon each others noses. Yet for some reason you could only smile. Now coming to terms with your desires you could honestly admit you were having fun. It didn’t fully change your viewpoint on Kin but you felt lucky to have such an opportunity to go all out. Just like with Lady Nekoma, so you couldn’t help but feel so excited.

“Gijū Ninpō ( Imitation Beast Ninja Arts)” Upon invoking the primal art you begin to undergo a metamorphosis. Musculoskeletal started to reinforce itself as the bone structure becoming denser while the muscles swell up and ripen considerably. Teeth started to elongate to that of a primal beast not unlike previously when you permanently merged with your berserk incarnation to tame the inner beast. Fingernails and toenails lengthen themselves to resemble actual claws. Even your hair start to become more wild and jagged as you resemble a more ferocious appearance.

In response to this, Kin only took a deep breath before charging head on. You find yourself charging as well as you got down on all force. Like before the two of you bumped chests before transitioning to another grappling contest. Now closer to your primal state you begin to exert more muscular strength than before. For the moment you were having the edge in raw physical strength as you start to gradually overpower Kin in the struggle. She may be well trained but you were hellbent on proving that no one could equal this juggernaut in raw strength.

Swiftly yet gracefully Kin jumped up in timing to your pushing to slam her boots directly against your face. It goes without saying that you took the blow like a champ while not letting go of her hands. Mere distractions from what she was truly after as she opens her longer legs. Within an instant she coils them around your face, pressing her thighs against your cheekbones and pelvis against your face. After the coiling she tightly grips her legs against your faces like a constricting boa constrictor but python was far more accurate.

Although previously you held her hands tightly, it was now Kin who was keeping you from moving your hands free. Slowly she was suffocating you while exerting exceptional force. Those thick, meaty thunder thighs of hers felt like they could crush a bowling ball easily with the amount of raw power they were generating. Meanwhile Kin continued with her deep breathing while holding the submission pin. Something strange was happening now that you were this close to Kin. And not just the embarrassment of the current predicament.

Seeing yourself currently locked in Kin’s submission hold you decided to ever be the opportunist. You start to channel chakra into your canines as your sharpen them further. You were going to need such serious dentures to pierce through Kin’s thick skin. Once ready you went to bite as hard as you can at Kin’s left thigh. Sinking your fangs through flesh and going in deep against the muscle fibers, you felt yourself having to resort a lot of raw strength to pull off. Kin flinched just a fraction of the second from the pain but rather than slip up it motivated her further.

Normally the pain would keep one from actually performing a stunt like contracting one’s muscles. And yet here Kin was using her thickly dense muscle fiber to squeeze against your canines. At the cost of putting herself in more pain, she has effectively clinched you in her thigh. Her refined muscle control if not her own body supremacy was positively absurd with the amount of finesse she was demonstrating .Even if you wanted to, you would find yourself unable to pull yourself from Kin’s inner thighs. Truly you were quite in a rough bind.

Despite the current predicament you rationalized this by focusing on draining Kin’s chakra. With Shinsei Mahachisu’s augmented chakra flow, the reverse flow would naturally draw far more chakra at a faster rate. Naturally you would feel a sort of resistance towards someone trying to keep you from stealing her chakra. So you at least went after her physical energy given that it’ll be easier to drain. At least that’s part of how you tend to rationalize things. However, you weren’t sure why but you were having a much harder time drawing it out from Kin.

“Trying to take my energy eh? That glutton Yoroi has really left quite the negative impression. Or maybe you were always a glutton yourself? No matter, just try and take my resources if you can.” Kin remarks, squeezing her thighs further against you to tighten the hold as you were practically resting against her pelvis while the rest of her thighs and legs dangle down against your shoulder and back.

Demonstrating some extraordinary upper body strength, Kin slams her body against your stomach . Timing with her movements perfectly she kicked against your back. Two consecutive blows against your waist joint as they harmonize with each other to maximize the damage. With your training your body naturally absorbs the shock and cushion the blow to some degree. Though you were lucky you endured much stronger blows for so long or else this would be tricky.

But that wasn’t the worrying part. No, what was truly harmful to you was the fact you found yourself suddenly winded. Your breathes were becoming haggard as if it was becoming much harder to catch your breath. Vision was returning to being completely blank and responsive. Strength was slowly leaving your body with each passing second. You were so vigorous just a moment ago but right now you feel like you were becoming legethic. Each time Kin strikes at your waist, that feeling only strengthen as you struggle against her hold.

This submission pin wasn’t solely for obscuring your senses, causing suffocation or even putting pressure with the intent of breaking bones. No, what Kin was truly after was attacking your trachea and respiratory system. She was purposely messing with your breathing to keep it unfocused and unstable. Thus, you becoming scatterbrained as a result. Meanwhile you could feel Kin’s breathing being in complete control. Her rock hard abdomen had expanded considerably as it became more pronounced but retaining some form of subtly. Yet because of this her physical energy was overflowing at an alarming rate while still refined and focused.

In short she was becoming stronger while you were getting weaker despite the one siphoning physical energy. To make matters worse, Kin started demonstrating the Soft Physique version of the Chōtai Henkei no Jutsu (Body Length Deformation Technique) to strengthen the constricting submission hold. Her fingers coiled against yours following with her arms stretching to wrap around your forearms and biceps. Twisting parts of her thighs after extending her legs, Kin firmly tightens forms another lock around the back of your head. Safe to say she was making it harder to break free. Leaving you starting to struggle molding and shaping your chakra.

There was something important slapping you in front of your face. But dare you risk being under this hold to uncover the secrets?

Alrighty then it's time to put that analytical side of yours to good use and show Kin that this beast has a brain.

Also anyone else find it funny that nearly all your opponents have been older than you. Even just the one year gap with people like Neji.

>>3721379

One may call your next move foolish but it was still yours to make. Risking it all to uncover Kin’s secrets, you begin to regulate your breathing. While at your current state you couldn’t bring yourself back to full capacity, you did however kept yourself from dropping any further. Breathing really was a tiring chore in this current state. But you couldn’t let any more oxygen leave your body. Having your brain’s functions lessen was the last thing you wanted, much less put yourself at the passing out point.

So you endured and start flowing what little chakra you could mode directly into your brain. Enhancing your mental capabilities with chakra enhancement and using Shinsei Mahachisu to speed up the process was an ingenious move. Of course you begin to feel your physical strength weakening further as it was becoming harder moving much less breaking free. Still, you painfully observed and analyze Kin’s motion with your remaining senses.

Removing all form of distractions around you, you let your mind read all the hints and signals the body managed to pick up. Deep breathing followed by circulation and a steady heart rate for increasing the blood flow. At first it didn’t leave for a lot but as you observed you begin to find the pieces were aligning together. Kin was using some form of Qigong, specifically one of it’s techniques called reverse breathing. She was using it in line with her own chakra to vitalize her physique far greater than simple chakra enhancement could produce. She was amplifying and maintaining that power through the use of additional oxygen in the muscles.

Sensing the danger that you were in by Kin’s secret as it became apparent that she was using the same practice to greatly weaken you, you start to struggle your teeth against Kin’s flesh. Such absurdly thick dense flesh was simply unfair to you. It was taking all your current strength just penetrating it. Any more and you felt like you’d run the risk of losing what remaining mental fortitude you had left. So you came to a decision to use Kin’s muscle control against her. By pushing yourself to the limit you did the unthinkable and broke your own canines to get free.

Surprised by this Kin she was caught off guard for just a moment. That was all you really needed as you pushed past the pain to act. Driving yourself directly towards a certain spot on the body that was quite sensitive you bite down with all your jaw muscle and remaining teeth strength. Even the well trained Kin found herself wincing from the act in more ways than one. Thus, she exerts her hips to rotate her body to slamming your head against the hard pavement with tremendous force.

KEK. If you can't beat them, molest them.

>>3721589

The act was enough for Kin to let go of your face as you unwillingly let go due to the rising pain and vertigo you were currently feeling. At least you were somewhat free. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK! Currently you were screaming a whole assortment of different curses over the events that transpired. Sure getting a sprained neck wasn’t fun in addition to a mild concussion . But both pale in comparison to the nerve pains you got from breaking your own canines and biting against a spot you certainly shouldn’t be biting. It seems to never end with finding new levels of intense pains.

“Color me surprised. You really will do anything to win will you? Or was that just survivor’s instinct kicking in due to the desperation. Either way I think we should kick things to the next level...shall we?” As you try to gain your affairs in order, Kin pulled your head up from the ground.

Meanwhile she was using her well trained muscles to push out the fangs out of her thighs. Her body’s natural recovery was kicking in at an alarming rate thanks to the Qigong style. But she was tolerating the pain through sheer willpower just to remain on top. Locking eyes with the raven haired woman, she surprised you with a sudden kiss on the lips. Already going for third base Kin extends her tongue into your mouth while holding your face closely through wrapping her neck around yours. Limbs were still pinned by Kin’s.

Pain was quite the unfortunate predicament to deal with. But it was singing a different tone in comparison to being french kissed by your enemy. She was no Ami Shimura but that didn’t change the fact you believed her to be working with Orochimaru. So why did this feel ...good to you? Lying down against the ground, panting up a storm, exchanging fluids, sharing skin to skin contact, etc. It was like one of those battle romances that talked about love blooming on the battlefield. That’s the kind of stuff that Kakashi would read in his Ichi ichi paradise books. Yet here you are without much options.

Catching you completely off guard with the sudden kiss you find yourself unable to muster any form of response. Embarrassment was kicking in mixed with the pain as you instinctively turned off your sense of pain with Jakutensuka (Pressure Point Change). You didn’t want to lose what remaining concentration you had. So with your regeneration ability you started to regrow those fangs while kicking in your body’s chemistry to jumpstart your hormones. Even now it seem like quite the bad idea by following your primal urges rather than just trying to continue the fight. But you were thirteen, there was a lot of confusion hormones and repressed emotions to deal with.

At least it was with someone you could acknowledge being smart and beautiful even on opposite sides. If you were going to give into them, then you’re going to put them to good use through medical ninjutsu. Adrenaline for obvious reasons, triggering some form of a steroid hormone enhance the musculature along with strengthening you further, growth hormones and Parathyroid for repairing your teeth. Along with the natural pheromones and hormones that govern the sexual attraction. It was a fair trade off in exchange for healing yourself and becoming stronger as a result.

Once you canines were back in proper order you proceed to bite Kin’s tongue after spending a good while having a sloppy kissing session. While you were coming to terms with your raging hormones and your newfound bi-curious nature, it didn’t change the fact you were in a fight. So embracing those conflicting feelings for Kin while continuing the conflict was a good compromise. As you sink your teeth into Kin’s tongue you find yourself incapable of doing so. Not out of some sort of hypnotism no but rather Kin extending her own elasticity from her jutsu down to her tongue. In hindsight, fighting someone who can read your moves right down to the pulses, bone frictions, muscle contractions and heartbeat made sneak attacks virtually non-existent.

>>3722243

That didn’t change the fact you continue to try and chew her tongue off as Kin merely extends it further to dominate your mouth. You narrowed your eyes while looking into Kin who has a sly smile through the kiss. Not once did you remove your eyes from making contact with Kin’s matured Sharingan. Seeing that three tomoe was culptivating on it’s own but something about it was simply mesmerizing. Almost like you were under a siren’s spell despite fully knowing that you were aware of your actions. She wasn’t using her sharingan to take control of you or implant suggestions. At least you think you believed that.

So ...what was Kin doing then during your inability to look away?

>Use Ninshu to try and peak into Kin's heart to find some answers

I mean only your morality is going to stop you. I told you lot during with Ami that you could theoretically kill her but you'll have to face what consequences that came with such an action.

im with you on that sick of this bitch

>>3722541

Currently interlocked with your adversary you were tantalized by the sweet taste of the forbidden fruit in front of you. Hypnotized by such mesmerizing eyes you find yourself being engulfed in flames by the scarlet night. As you continue to kiss Kin and be enchanted by here curiosity continue to nag against your mind. No amount of bliss you were currently feeling could take you out of the nagging feeling.

Here Kin was using her sharingan and yet not once did she try to influence you. Let alone use the frightening power of the Sharingan to control you. It would be so easy to do so given your current state of mind. And yet she didn’t do any of that. Why? That’s what truly infuriating about the thing. So to get to the bottom of it you started to use that power. The power of Ninshu to connect with Kin’s soul and read what is hidden by the mask that people wear to protect their true self.

Diving into Kin’s subconscious was no easy feat. While you were recovering from the onslaught from Kin, your breathing was still far from returning back to standard. So you did as much as you could with your chakra control against your fluctuating chakra. As a result, you find yourself diving deep into a certain memory. A member that was long since isolated and suppressed to keep it under check. Like with Temari you were a ghostly spectator now watching appear to a mature woman currently carrying a sickly little girl on her back.

“Mommy I’m cold ...and hungry.” Said the little raven haired girl, showing a rather charming shade of amber eyes despite her condition. She kept herself from coughing as she continue to cling to her mother.

“Hush now sweetie. Mommy’s trying to find us some food. You just got to be a little patient dear.” The mature woman spoke, keeping a warm smile as she closes her eyes. She wasn’t doing a whole lot better but compared to her daughter she was healthy like an ox. If only she could give the same vitality to her daughter.

“..I know...but..” The little girl muttered, gripping at her mother’s cloak tightly from uneasiness. Seeing this worried the mother but she did well to keep it from showing to the surface.

“...How about I sing you your favorite song?” The mother kept her smile. The little girl simply nodded as she soon listen to her mother’s soothing voice.

>>3723274

From what you saw the woman sang to the girl a japanese version of the lullaby Hush, little baby. The scenery was that of a war torn field. Although the third great war was recently over there were countless areas like where the two of them currently stood. Ash filled lands scarred from constant clashes between Konohagakure and Iwagakure. Destroyed landscape, ruined historical areas, and desolate areas. There were many shelters but most of them were destroyed in the crossfire.

The ones that remained were filled with poverty thanks to the war. The tired mother and her shaken four years old were often forced to travel to find food and water. As well as to avoid any remaining conflict from the stragglers and opportunists. Such harsh living conditions often left them having to fasting for a while until they could find such resources. The mother endured a lot to keep her baby girl safe. But even through her efforts it all for naught as the child was bitten by a strange creature during her trip to the river that was once held the Kannabi Bridge.

It didn’t show up at first but the symptoms became more apparent over time. By the time that her mother would notice it was far too late. The girl was bedridden and forced to deal with a high fever. Valiantly the mother carried her offspring to the nearest shelter to help treat her condition. But as she eventually reach her destination and treat her daughter’s fever, she would be met with an unfortunate conclusion.

“Kin! Kin Answer me! You’re going to be okay “ The mother cried, currently looking down to her daughter. She was currently resting on the bed. Her vivid amber eyes were now lifeless and dull with the light in her pupils dimmed out.

“Mommy…..where are you mommy? why is everything…...so ...dark?” As the little girl spoke, a sharp pain came on to the mother. She didn’t need to hear anything more as she looked to the outside. It was a sunny day in this bleak landscape. The sunflowers were blooming nicely which only made this all the more disheartening for the mother.

“It hurts mommy….it’s so cold and dark...….I can’t see anything… When are we going to go outside and look at the sunlight..”. The child muttered, still unaware of her condition. The mother could only break down and hug her daughter.

I’m sorry Kin ...I'm truly sorry ...if only you weren’t born in these terrible times…” As the mother said this something inside Kin resonated with the words. Although you could gather that the mother blamed herself for her daughter’s misfortune. For Kin it sounded like her mother was rejecting her and labeling her as a burden.

>>3723325

Her relationship with her mother began to sour as she comes to terms with her blindness. At first it was a scary world for the little girl. But through the next two years her body accumulated to the experience. Aside from that her health rose as her immune system toughened from the ordeal. But no amount of gains could make up the fact that she lost her light in the world. Both metaphorically and literally, thus growing distant and cold.

On a silent night in a wooden hut the two of them soon found company. Kin seemly appeared asleep but in actuality was listening to the conversation. A strange man wearing what appears to be a rather distinguish outfit. His pale complexion gave shivers down your spine but his eyes were something that you never forgot.

“It’s such a shame really. To have your own blood crippled by such poor conditions. Although Konoha is supposed to have an alliance with Kusa they still ended up fighting on your home. And when the battle is over rather than come to terms for their part in the destruction and assisting in repairs. They instead left you on your own to pick up the pieces because it couldn’t be helped. Them's the breaks when dealing with the causality of war.” The mysterious man spoke, earning himself a rather sharp glare from the mother. She knew all of it was true but she didn’t want her daughter to be filled with spite and hate. There was too much of that in the world already. She was no exception to experiencing such troubles.

“Whatever you’re looking to gain isn’t here. So please, just leave us be. My daughter finally went to sleep.” The mother politely explained, keeping herself close to her daughter.

“Now now no need to be so defensive. Unlike those of Konoha I’m willing to lend a helping hand to those who are willing to take it. I may not look it but I am a scientist and a doctor. I also have people who can help your daughter. Come with me, I can provide for the both of you so you don’t have to keep roughing it wondering if this day will be your last. With my skills, I may even be able to bring back her sight.” The mysterious man smiled, slowly reassuring the woman of his kind nature. But you knew deep down that there was something sinister coming from the man. In fact there was doubt in the mother but what other option did she have?

“...Can...Can you really do such a thing?” The woman paused, briefly showing signs of weakness at the possibility of her baby girl being able.

“Would I lie to a beautiful woman like yourself? Now come with me. We have much to discuss.” He offered his hand to the mother as she slowly reached for it.

“Just tell me one thing. Who are you?” The mother asked.

“Simple...my name is Orochimaru.” He smiled as he eyed his attention from the mother to look at Kin.

[Figured it was best to break up the flashback moment to allow another choice before moving on.

It's a naruto quest. Like it or not most if not all antagonists and villains have motives and experience that shaped them into the characters they end up as. Knowing this is one thing. How you act upon it is entirely another story.]

Yep, about what I expected. Now, what's her agency...

>>Try to reach her psyche to look for recent information

>>3723361
>>3723362

Continuing with your journey through her memories they begin flooding the memories were flooding inside. You begin to see a brief summary of Kin’s life. Despite being blind she underwent grueling procedures that test her physical and mental limits. From a young age she was kept from her mother to better focus on her development. Surrounded with countless other children Kin was forced to survive to live another day. Each new task was made with the full intent of drawing out one’s full potential and pushing them to new heights in order to become stronger. Those that couldn’t adapt or show promise were as good as dead as nobody knew what happened to them.

Of course you could gather a pretty grim idea based on what Lord Hiruzen told you about Orochimaru’s crimes. That only made the implication of what Kin underwent that much more hellish as the “Training from hell” quote was having a much bigger weight. Ironically such harsh treatment followed with the social darwinism that Kusagakure adopted from years of war. Through the wonders of science and bioengineering Kin like many others were remade from the ground up. Those who could prove themselves as the diamonds in the rough were allowed into Orochimaru’s favor and receive his blessing.

That said, many of the children were often forced to fight one another to test their competency and development. Those who weren’t willing to do whatever it takes to win were cast away like garbage. Thus developing a us or them mentality for self-perseverance. Kin ended up having to make the ultimate decision. Surviving meant killing and kill she did to survive. For her own ambition, Kin destroyed countless lives. Eventually reaching the summit at the age of ten after four years of conditioning and hardships.

For Kin her efforts and hellish training gave her the conditioning needed to survive a certain experiment. Unlike those who were picked to undergo the curse seal treatment she was selected to the splicing core. A program with the intent of recreating Kekkei Genkai and/or implanting them from the previous sources. To keep with the deal Orochimaru took Kin as a test subject for a certain experiment. Although she was compatible with the sharingan, Kin still went through extreme levels of pain and suffering until the convulsions finally stopped and her sight was restored. It didn’t bring her any closure.

OK now I'm thinking she has a thing for battle hungry people. But great writing fitting all this in.

>>3723472

After receiving her sharingan, Kin went with the other subject that managed to survive the dangerous experiments. There she was trained further to maximize her abilities and reach a pinnacle worthy of Orochimaru’s expectations. Eventually she formed a kinship with her team as the three of them were each the top candidates from their sector. But they were all the same. Orphans who shared a common goal in this hell on earth. These are the closest Kin had to feeling any sort of attachments or bonds as you noticed she was normally alone. It was easier dealing with everything by adopting a lone wolf dynamic.

As you were getting close to seeing the mission objective you would feel a hand on your shoulder. Slowly you turned to notice that Kin was currently standing behind you. Which was strange since you were seeing a recent memory. A memory of Kin discussing with Dosu and Zaku about how Orochimaru was deceiving them with the mission. That they were no different than disposable pawns now that Sasuke was top priority for Orochimaru. You were real close to seeing what sort of answer Kin gave.

“So that’s where you been hiding? To be honest I wasn’t sure where your conscious was after peaking through your brain with my Sharingan. Who would’ve thought you could pull off something like this?” Kin said, folding her arms as she glances at you.

>Question Kin on her motives as you come to discover the truth.
>Try to make amends by talking about Kin’s mother
>Interrogate Kin over what she did to you and if she was using her sharingan to make you like this
>Set aside this melodrama for now and get back to fighting
>Come to terms with your feelings and talk it out with Kin
>Share your similarities and acknowledge that you both like fighting
>Other [write-in]

>>3723485

You win the prize. It's the only thing that makes her feel alive. A fight is the only real thing in this world to her. To prove her own self-worth and superiority while more importantly be a coping mechanism to stay rooted in the past and turn a blind eye to the actions she committed for hr own selfish reasons. And mommy issues.

So,how is the inform Hiruzen thing going anyway,Sage?

>>3723697


Let's see. Your breathing hassle with Kin caused a severe distabilizing effect on Inner Sakura. But previously she was met with the anbu guard as Yugao had to talk them down to keep them from escorting you out. The kazekage continued to remain close to Hiruzen as the two were watching the fights together.

I do have a per-prepared outcome for it but if you want to discuss/choose how you proceed with inner sakura then feel free.

“Judging from the look on your face, you saw something that you shouldn’t. And don’t try to lie. Even in this space of my mind my sensory capabilities are still at their highest. Also don’t take this the wrong way but you don’t look like the type who can control their emotions and deceive others. For you it’s more likely you wear them around your sleeves or keep them bottled up till the cap explodes from the pressure.” Kin said, turning a moment to look at the scenery as it changes back to bleak underground dungeon that Kin knew for most of her life.

“I have no intentions of lying to you. Especially not after seeing your life story like that.” You kept your gaze focused on Kin as you refused to turn away in shame. At first you thought that Ami was merely getting under your skin about the relationship between Kusagakure, Amegakure and even Sunagakure. But seeing it from Temari and Kin’s perspective, you begin to understand the horrors of war and the effect it can have on others. As well as the perspective of duty and what it means to be a ninja from your seniors. It was vastly different from what you experienced. And yet in some way similar.

“If you’re trying to show pity towards me save it. No amount of sympathy can fix what has happened. And I don’t need anyone to give any hand out just because I didn’t live a sheltered life thanks to war. Nor am I delusional enough to hold a grudge against people who weren’t involved with the war. There’s no point in that.” Kin turned her eyes from you. Narrowing a bit at knowing how this will end as she seen it countless times. You could only grip your fist together as you try to come to terms with your own feelings.

“Will you just listen to me for a second! It isn’t any of that. I mean I can’t deny what you went through was an awful experience that nobody should go through. And honestly I wouldn't blame you if you held resentment over my village for fighting a long time war on your home turf. Maybe then you wouldn’t have ended up like this. “ You said, finding the grounds to acknowledge that Kin was a victim no different from those you connected with like Haku and Temari. It didn’t make up what she has done to your group and you still haven’t forgiven her. But you can at least begin to understand the woman behind the blind eyes.

>>3724527

“Maybe it’s because I’m a victim of happenstance as well by the same man. Or it’s the fact that I’m a living weapon myself that I can see myself in your shoes. You have done whatever you can to survive despite it being easier just to give up and die. I respect people who despite their circumstances choose to live rather than throw their life away and commit suicide. Even if you didn’t have anything left you kept living in hopes of finding that moment where you can truly achieve happiness and escape from despair. Am I not mistaken?” You asked, looking closely to Kin who was looking at her younger self currently staring at a puddle of water crying over her sharingan eyes. Yet keeping a rather ominous smile on her face or so what it appeared as.

“I won’t lie and say there’s not any truth to that. All my life I have only seen the absolute worst and barely managed to find the light at the end of the tunnel. But when I lost everything, the world became cold and unloving. I gained many new perspectives with my blindness as I can see things far better than others. But even with that I couldn’t see any reason or purpose to keep living. Death would be far easier than to keep going. Although I said that, I still chose to live simply because I didn’t want to die. My survival instincts are far too strong...or maybe I wanted to live long enough to find her. The woman who abandoned me and left me in this hell. “ As Kin says this you could feel some serious animosity towards her mother.

Bitter resentment mixed with denial and distrust as it swirls together to create this state of melancholy and aggression. She soon hid it with a shrewd smile as she turns to you. The scenery would change again back to a field of sunflowers. You briefly saw Kin’s mother giving Kin her trademark bell while calling the child her “good luck charm” A maneki-neko as well as doubling a charm to warn off evil. The child didn’t really understand it but she cherish the bell and had her other tie the charm to her ponytail.

“I have yet to come to terms with what I’d do the moment I’ll find her. Will I kill her or…never mind. It doesn’t really matter. Anyway, in my environment I continue to look for a sign of hope. A reason to keep going. For a long time it was to regain my sight and return to my mother. So long as I kept that to heart I was willing to do anything to achieve that goal. Even kill to ensure my own survival when pushed to that point. But when I gain these eyes after having my own identity rewritten by Orochimaru...all I saw was what I always knew. Darkness.” Kin focused down on the ground before opening her sharingan eyes halfway.

>>3723493
>>Set aside this melodrama for now and get back to fighting

>>3724586

“Obtaining these eyes changed nothing. No matter how far I travel or how many things I see with them. They all end up only furthering this lingering feeling of darkness and thus my path towards isolation only continued. “ Kin now turned her full attention to you, almost adopting a monotone voice.


The scenery becoming monochrome as everything started to become no different than an old movie scene. With some cracks on the ground and in the air. There were hints of bitterness, anger and sorrow in the air as it shapes the young child into the jaded and empty Kin in front of you. In someway it was a mirror reflection compared to you. Had you not taken Lord Hiruzen’s offer or held any bonds, perhaps you would’ve ended under the same path of isolation and emptiness that claimed Kin even now. Hence why she filled that void through fighting.


“Do you really believe that? Do you truly believe there’s nothing but darkness around you? That there’s nothing but isolation waiting for you. I’m your enemy and even I can find things that connect us together. It’s almost disturbing how similar we are. Even this new side of me, the side that likes fighting and pushing myself against strong opponents. To test my own skills while connecting with them as equals. That’s something that’s apart of me. And surely I know in some way you feel the same about it too. Otherwise why else would you try and fight me when previously you called me annoying.” To better drive your point you quickly turned the taller woman from her averted gaze to look you directly in the eye. You gave a stern look as Kin met with a look of detached emptiness. Before finally closing her eyes and letting off a soft sigh.

>>3724622

“Fighting is the only thing that makes me truly feel alive. I have been fighting an uphill battle since the day I was born. And losing everything only pushed me further into the brink of the abyss. My heart has long since been frozen and my time has stopped since the day I lost my sight. The only thing that can make me feel anything now is the thrill of battle. The adrenaline rush from a fight, blood overflowing from every point as it boils, the rising body heat, heart racing from conflict, bone friction and muscle tension, the countless sensations coursing through the body including that of pain and a bunch of other clustering sounds produced by the body and it’s emotions. Everything becomes real during that moment of battle. Motives, philosophies/ideals, personal history, race, sex, status, even one’s identity is inscnificant. All manners of reasoning, they’re all unnecessary when one steps on to the battlefield. “ Kin explained, slowly breaking out of her monotone state as fiery passion slowly merged to the surface. While one can look at this battle crazed woman as dangerous you continued to keep your current perspective while acknowledging the shared bond over fighting. And just how much you changed from the little girl who didn’t want any conflict.


“When one fight everything becomes so much more simple and earnest. When I put myself through battle I can forget everything. My suffering, my despair, my resent, my hatred, everything that’ll shackle me down becomes a fleeting memory best left forgotten. All I have in that moment is the experience of my very existence put to the test. I came close to death far more times than any Genin from the five main villages have experienced, especially that of Konoha. Nothing else matters, nay even exist on the battlefield. The only thing that truly matters is the fight to survive and live another day. When I have a taste of that, a true real battle. I feel myself truly becoming alive as I reach the summit. When you boil down a person to their purest form, we’re just a collection of impulses and primal instincts long since suppressed by the affects of our surroundings and the people around us. And nobody can change or cause those impulses to lie.” Kin said, changing the sunflower field back to a bamboo forest where the two of you are currently having your battle take place.

>>3724635

“All my life I wasn’t given a single purpose. A reason for why I was born. And having my own mother reject me made me all the more detached and isolated. Not once since I was under Orochimaru care was I treated like a person. And with what I have done, I don’t even see myself as one as well. But of course that’s just what it means to be a ninja. To throw away your humanity and sense of self for the collective. To do what your village ask of you and embrace being a tool for conflict. I have yet to come to terms with finding a purpose in this empty world. But I came to the conclusion that such a thought is unnecessary. I live to fight and fighting is how I’ll continue to feel alive. So with that it’s only natural that I came to love fighting.” Kin soon took a rather sadistic smile as she fully looked at you. You knew deep down there was condition in Kin’s words and currently expression. Almost like she was deceiving herself and turning a blind eye to things that have been eating at her for the longest time. You weren’t a hundred percent sure on it but you think you know what’s the cause of the hypocrisy.

>Ask Kin about her motives and why she’s working for Orochimaru

Went on longer than I wanted with that. And it should've came out much sooner. But I was re-reading what was previously established while trying to do my best to keep it consistent while further expanding/touching up with Kin's ideology and character.

Since I'm going for an amalgamation of previous antagonists, most noticeable Haku and Temari while keeping her own identity and serving as a dark reflection. As you can gather the one of the reoccurring themes of this is the shinobi system and how the long term effects of war and conflict has affected the world since the beginning but reaching it's breaking point after the third Great Shinobi War.

I think this is the best prime example to the conflict that this Sakrua will have to deal with, especially if she wants to keep her original dream alive and stay true to the path in front of her.

I apologize if I didn't do a good enough job or if there's any inconsistency. As well as apologize to the more bloodlust people who just want to fight and kill and be damned with this drama.

Either EVO night really has a hold on people or I made a terrible mistake killing fun time with flashback no jutsu. though some would argue fun time in general was the cause.

Yeah, I was wary of the mood whiplash but I didn't know if we would get the chance to do this later so I went with it anyways.

You would've gotten the chance to do it later.

Either way, I need to think of how to rebound from this, or just waited out before coming to a decision.

“Ninjas shouldn’t seek the reasons for their existence. What is important is to exist as merely tools. Kin Tsuchi, you’re the fitting example of the ninja code. Striving to be what ninjas should be rather than what they’re really are...human. You’re someone who enjoys fighting because it brings life to you. It’s not merely some sort of adrenaline junkie mindset or an act of murderous intentions. At the same time it’s more than just bringing you out of this nihilistic state of yours. It’s an escape from reality. A coping mechanism born from a twisted perversion out of necessity to endure your experiences. To keep yourself blind to the truth and not think about your actions and horrors you went through. You remove yourself from it all, choosing to remain detached and isolated to keep yourself from breaking down. No matter how hard you fight, it won’t let you forget what you have done, what you experienced. It won’t make your time move forward. ” You said, keeping your eye close to Kin as you begin to walk around the field. Kin on the other hand lightly narrow her eyes while choosing to keep quiet.

“You said that you don’t care about finding a purpose but I think that’s not true. I think deep down the fact you don’t have one irritates you. There’s no way someone who didn’t choose to be one of Orochimaru’s lab rats would be willing to become his tool. Even if it’s for your village you can’t just willingly make yourself into a weapon and kill without feeling anything. Otherwise you wouldn’t be thinking about your mother even now. Those old memories of you spending time with her despite those harsh conditions.” You lectured Kin while slowly trying to reach her. It was a complicated relationship as previously you only consider yourself defeating Kin and being done with it. Now you were playing therapist and uprooting the source of Kin’s hypocrisy and trauma

“What are you getting at?” Kin asked. The look on her face told you that even by reading your emotions through your body it didn’t give her any insight to your reasoning. This was knowledge that was good to know for the future.

“I want to know why someone like you is working for Orochimaru. You’re far too smart, too resourceful and tenacious to be just willing to commit to being his lackey. I know you and your team know that you’re disposable. Orochimaru doesn’t care about you one bit, any of you. He just sees you as a means to an end. To further his experiments and ambitions. Nothing more.” You bluntly said, now turning to look Kin in the eye.

“My objective is to complete the mission entrusted in me and earn Orochimaru’s favor. As Orochimaru can grant one request to anyone that gets him what he wants most.” Kin said, looking you in the eye as she says it in the same bluntness you did just now.

>>3725573

“Sasuke…” You muttered, a look of dread and frustration start to spread over your face. You didn’t want to assume the worst but it was getting rather hard keeping your cool over your childhood friend being offered like a scapegoat. No matter the reason or how rational it was you still couldn’t accept it.

“Orochimaru holds a superhuman presence. As one of the three great Sannin he holds a lot of influential power. So much in fact he was able to fully unite the scattered Kusagakure and helped pushed it into a military like state. In the ten years since the way my home made substantial improvements and developments to bounce back from the nightmare of war. I already told you all about this during my speech in the preliminaries. Orochimaru was a primary benefactor. But nothing in this world is for free. My country sold itself to the devil in order to survive. In exchange Orochimaru got to do what he pleases and for that he required all of us. The children that he deemed special and valuable. We were all made into living weapons, super soldiers capable of one day toppling the five great nations if they chose to use our home as a battleground again. When met with such travesty it can make one do the damest of things...for revenge.” As Kin says this you felt rather uneasy over the entire thing.

Naturally it was despicable that the leaders of Kusagakure would make a deal with Orochimaru and ultimately produce trained soldiers like Kin at the cost of sacrificing morality and human rights for brutal efficiency. It was dangerously similar to Zabuza’s story but with Orochimaru in control it was far more unnecessary inhumane. Once you got over the shock did you begin to start putting things into perspective. Revenge was a common thing that tied a lot of things into the narrative. And if you look at like that then the pieces slowly begin to fall in place. Paranoia gave way to understanding as your suspicions were coming clear. Something was going to happen and it was going to happen soon. Very soon.

“Orochimaru took advantage of my village’s desperation and desire for payback. And I’m sure Kusagakure isn’t the only one. Villages like Amegakure who have been torn asunder by war are often left in a broken state both physically and mentally. They’ll do anything to escape out of hell and align themselves with anyone who can make it a reality. But truthfully, we're all just mere tools for the ambitions of a madman. But I didn’t care. All I wanted was my world back, to be able to see with my own eyes. But like a monkey’s paw it doesn’t always end up how you envision. “ Kin mentioned rather nonchalantly. Earning your anger since you knew what Kin was detaching herself to avoid confronting her true feelings and listening to reason.

>>3725579

“And you think that by giving Sasuke you’ll get a wish, a real wish. Kin you’re a lot of things but I know sure as hell that you’re not stupid. There’s no way that he’ll grant you what you desire. No, what you truly need.So spill it. What are you really trying to accomplish?!” You shout, gripping Kin’s military vest by the collar while looking her straight in the eye. You were adamant on getting the truth out of Kin before continuing with therapy. She merely stared at you before looking up to the bleak sky as a response.

“You’re right in the fact that I’m not offering Sasuke with the intention of getting a wish. I like many of the other children came together with this plan. A ninja is all about self-sacrifice. The individual means nothing for the good of the collective. And I can tell you that the collective are all united on one reason. To kill Orochimaru.” As her eyes drop down to meet with yours, you soon caught sight of Kin’s pupils slitting. A clear sign of aggression as hatred begins to surface.

“Kill Orochimaru...Hold on. Aren’t you contradicting yourself here? You previously said you wanted a wish and now you want to kill Orochimaru. How exactly does that fit with ninjas existing as mere tools and self-sacrifice? I swear if you’re jerking my chain.” You questioned, tightening your grip ever so slightly. This sudden reveal has further the complications you have towards Kin. Seismic senses weren’t picking up any lies but you still wanted to be sure if Kin was still your enemy or not.

“My actions have always been coherent and straightforward. My wish is to find my mother but I don’t trust Orochimaru as far as I can throw him to make it easy. And even if he granted it, that doesn’t change the fact for ten long years I underwent a living hell for his own purpose. Just for him to then throw me away when he has a new toy to play with. If by some miracle that my mother is still alive then I will confront her to finally put things into perspective. Despite this, I can’t deny the fact that I don’t know what exactly I’ll do once I reunite with the woman who abandoned me.” Kin soon moved her hand against yours to have you let go of her straps and return to the stand off as your chests pressed against one another.

>>3725627

“As for going back to Orochimaru, we want to take advantage of his blind ambition. Sasuke is a necessary evil for our plan to take fruition. While we’re not nearly strong to defeat Orochimaru as we are now. Sasuke will make the snake drop his guard and fall prey to assassination. Or at least that’s the original plan we came up with in secret.” Kin slowly trailed off as sh reflects back to the meeting with Zaku and Dosu. Zaku was in complete denial over the subject as his ego was far too high for him to merely accept reality. Dosu was pragmatic about it as he retained a calm and collected mindset. But even Dosu held bitter resentment over their fate. Kin on the other hand tried to become uncaring and kept herself from feeling anything. The keyword being trying as she eventually succumbed to hatred.

“Originally? What sort of changes happened since then. And what reason do I have to believe that you won’t fall back on using Sasuke.” You question Kin. You weren’t hostile to her but you refrained from dropping your guard just yet. Kin could only give a sly smile as she looked down at you.

“Simple. Sasuke is scared of his power. From what I saw him during the preliminaries and through observation that I deducted that as he is now he won't be able to help us achieve our true objective. His sharingan eye. As a result Dosu is going to force him to awaken or kill him as a protest against Orochimaru. To show him that we’re not his disposable pawns. He’s still on the fence.” Kin still smiled while turning her eyes away. There was a strong sense of melancholy in her eyes despite the contraction.

“And what about you? Do you really think that Orochimaru will just willingly let Sasuke die?! And even if he did, what’s to make sure that he won’t kill you for disobeying him. I know you don’t want to have your lifelong struggle to end this way. Much less having your teammates and all those other children back in those containment centers killed.”You turned to meet eye contact with Kin, refusing to let her avoid confrontation.

“Dosu and Zaku can do what they want. It has nothing to do with me. We’re not exactly friends. We only worked together as long as we did because of our common interests. Now that we’re splintered it’s back to looking out for one’s self. If Orochimaru comes after me, I’ll fight him to my dying breath. Perhaps it's better that way since I wanted to fight him. After all, if his experiment was perfect he wouldn’t have any need for Sasuke And would’ve most likely condition me to be his successor.“ Kin said, trying to show disinterest over the threat of her team possibly dying or her own death. Her bloodlust was kicking in but once again you knew that was merely just the coping mechanism going to work.

>>3725636

Swiftly you grab Kin by her scarf collar and angrily glared at her. “Bullshit Kin! I know deep down you care about Zaku and Dosu. The three you have each other. You may try and rationalize it by saying you have a common goal, but true comradery can’t be waived off like that. You don’t need a reason to stay with people. Or even connect with others. Isolation and loneliness shouldn’t be how you live or how you punish yourself. Nor should you continue to view yourself as a weapon. No matter how hard you try, you can’t condition yourself to be the perfect tool. You’re human and you should never stop being human. It’s not a weakness!”

“You’re so naive it’s sickening. Just what I expect from someone who never experienced the horrors of war first hand. Even now you’re trying to win over your enemy just because you learned their dark secret. What’s to stop me from denying everything you’re saying and continue with how i been doing?” Kin could only react to your aggression with a burning anger of her own. She coldly smacked your hand off the scarf before narrow her eyes further. You were starting to make some serious progress as you sense there was an internal conflict inside.


“Because I’ll knock the sense right back into you. You should know by now that I’m stubborn and hardheaded. Whenever I put my mind on something I don’t stop until I make it a reality. And the reality I see is you coming to your senses and coming to my side. Your mother loves you and wouldn’t want you to remain being the killing tool of a madman. So come with me. We can figure something out. Perhaps talk to Lord Hiruzen and maybe work on a way to usurp Orochimaru’s hold on you and the others and put an end to his ambition. And find your mother.” You said, continuing to stand firm in the argument.


“Why...why are you doing all of this? You have nothing to gain from any of this and only put yourself at risk for a what if? So stop with this savior act and tell me what you’re really after.” Kin asked, positively vexed by the paradox that she was facing.


“ Kusagakure is our ally and we haven’t done a good enough job helping you when you needed it most. So let me make it up by helping you now. By giving you something to hope for once again.” You tried to reassure Kin’s doubts with a smile. Her eyes would widen a bit before turning away. As the mental space begin to crash you would find yourself slowly returning to the outside world.

At least this is one way to cap off the prologue/warm up fight

>>3726004

And we continue to confirm the long running gag of Sakura's type being black haired people, bonus points if they have dojutsus.

As your mind came out from the wonderland experience you would see yourself currently interlocked with Kin’s plush lips. It would take a moment before you remembered where your stood and how you ended up in this position. Face down bottom up with Kin on top of you pinning you good. Limbs coiled against yours to keep you from moving. Each bit of struggle led you to feel those ample bosom pressing and rubbing against you. Furthering the embarrassing experience as you reevaluate your next move.

Aw screw it. You’re thirteen years old with raging hormones and just shared a life changing confrontation. So you take Kin off by surprise by continuing the kiss, pushing deeper against her. She only looked at you with bewilderment now that she was coming to her senses. But it wasn’t unwelcome as the two of you continue to make out. Bulking up those muscles you brute force your way out of those bindings now that Kin was caught off guard.

Now overpowering Kin you flipped her against her back and pressed against her. Kissing her rather feverishly, heart pupils nearly formed on your eyes as you embrace these emotions. While you were to snogging you didn’t go below the belt. You were still new to this and being old fashioned you wanted to take things slow. Something that Kin respected as she could’ve easily went all the way given her older mindset being more in tune with her own hormones. Still, you were sharing a rather intimate moment that it was only luck nobody came to interrupt it.

What would seem like an eternity at cloud nine there was still that lingering feeling on the back of your head. You needed to get your head back in the game. There was still a lot of things that you needed to do. And while sharing an intimate embrace was quite a new experience, you knew it wasn’t enough to truly save Kin. Not a lack of trying mind you as you were quite the fast learner. There was a lot of inner demons that Kin needed to sort out and to go any further would just be taking advantage of a damaged girl with mommy issues.

“Kin?” You called, using Ninshu to speak telepathically while your mouth continued this french kiss.

“Sakura?” Kin blinked a bit, quickly adapting to having another voice in her head as she kept kissing passionately.

“I don’t think I can continue fighting like this. Or going any further than I am right now. Otherwise, I won't be able to stop myself and-” Before you could finish, Kin took the pace from you by delivering a mind blowing kiss as you felt yourself momentary going numb. It was cheating that the older woman was more experienced at hitting all the sweet spots.

>>3726059

“Stop talking. I got a match to fight soon. We’ll continue our fight in the arena. Just the fighting, I’d doubt you would want any more rumors flying by about you being some sort of exhibitionist deviant. “ Kin sharply pointed out with a hint of teasing. It was noticeably softer compared to previous encounters where she was as sharp as a senbon with her words.

“Y-Yeah. “ You didn’t have a real response to that despite not new to rumors. That didn’t change the fact you didn’t want to give your haters more ammo or worse be unable to face your friends and family if things excluated to that point.

“I’m taking some of your extra chakra though.” Kin blunty said, activating her own chakra absorption skills.

“What?! Why!” You exclaimed in both confusion and anger. You were going to use most of Temari’s chakra to reinvigorate yourself and heal the remaining wounds on your body.

“You practically sexually harassed me…twice almost three times. The least you owe me is the chakra.” Kin narrowed her eyes, giving you a cold, piercing stare. Although you could argue that if she wasn’t so mesmerizing it wouldn’t have happened. But you’d feel like you dug a big enough hole already from this encounter.

“Fine whatever. I got it. But I’m continuing this kiss as you do so.” You turned your eyes from Kin, angry pouting before wrapping your arms around her neck. Letting her siphon enough chakra as compensation while keeping enough to fully restore yourself from the extra reserved. Although the mind-blowing kiss was tantalizing, you also wanted a fair fight. So when you defeated Kin there would be no excuse.

After taking what she needed, Kin removed herself from your lips once she saw you were satisfied. The two of you kept from seeing one another as Kin turned off her sharingan. You were in deep disbelief that you just did all of that. You knew you were a glutton for chakra and became a fight-loving junkie. But there were no words to describe what just happened. Without saying a word, Kin disappeared thus leaving you to reflect over the events that transpired.

>>3726071

Part of you wanted to continue this enriching experience. From the thrilling dance of battle to embracing the burning passions within and tasting more of that forbidden fruit. Most of all you felt like you could reach Kin and get her to see reason. It was truly a confusing dilemma. She was previously your enemy and antagonized you through your friends. In spite of this you ended up fighting and giving into the passion. And you just told yourself previously that you’re not interested. Now you couldn't get your mind off of her. You really did become an eccentric deviant who also loves fighting.


The more you thought about it the more you felt embarrassed over the entire thing. Face starts to flushed a deep shade of red. You just lost your first official (technically Naruto and Sasuke kissed Sakura but she tries deeply to repress that memory) kiss and went all the way to second base. Some would argue that you made it to third but you rationalized out of trying to get out of Kin’s thick thunder thighs. As you thought about them you blushed even further. You may have decided to no longer deny these emotions and embrace them, but it was still embarrassing fantasizing such lewd scenarios. Hormones were truly your bane.

Stretching out your hair further you utilize it to cover yourself as you make your way to a sink to cool off. A mix of medical ninjutsu and regeneration was fixing up that neck sprain and concussion lickety-split. That said...you wanted to fully be on top next time.

Reposting the matchup for convenience.

Sakura Haruno vs Temari [Winner Sakura]
Shikamaru Nara vs Kin Tsuchi
Zaku Abumi vs Naruto Uzumaki
Neji Hyuuga vs Shino Aburame
Sasuke Uchiha vs Dosu Kinuta
Gaara vs Kankurō

>>3726095
>>3726320

Once you cooled yourself off from what just happened you left the bathroom to return to the watching stands. Despite your little ordeal with Kin there was still more than enough time to make it back to the arena and get your shit together before the next round could begin. Temari’s Typhoon Release really did quite a number on the arena. Not that you weren’t blameless by egging her on such extremes. Like it or not, it was probably for the best that she was taken out in her current state of mind.

As you make your way back to the arena you would see each of the fighters mostly splintered with some key exceptions.. Zaku and Dosu stood close to one another while Gaara and Kankuro did the same but far more distant. Shikamaru and Kin were preparing for their match in the waiting room. Sasuke was still a non-show which was concerning especially after getting the rundown from Kin. That just left Neji, Naruto, Shino and yourself isolated. Seeing that you were friends with each of them you made your way to rounding them up.

Now you could’ve just gotten by with being around Naruto given that he was your teammate. Yet you got the strangest compulsion to go for a diverse case. That and it’s been more than two months since “that” incident. Surely Naruto and Neji wouldn’t be holding any noteworthy hostility. Rounding up Naruto and Shino on record time, you made your way towards Neji. He briefly glance at you before narrowing his eyes at Naruto.

“Sakura you can’t be serious! Why on earth do we have to stand here next to that guy!” Naruto barked, following Neji’s actions as he sent a glare his way. The composed Hyuuga merely closed his eyes while retaining his animosity towards Naruto.

“Took the words right out of my mouth you failure. It’s only by dumb luck that you made it this far. It must be some sort of balancing effect to make up for your foolish nature .” Neji scoffed at Naruto, clearly holding a grudge of his own over what has happened. But it seemed like there was more to it than that. Some lingering feelings of resentment and stubborn refusal to acknowledge the orange jumpsuit shinobi in front of him.

“Just like how your eyes serve as a means to fuel your own sententious nature.” Naruto bounced back by using his brain rather than just following his heart. You and Shino were both surprised by this. Then again, Naruto was never truly stupid. Simple minded sure but he had his moments of brilliance and wisdom.

“Hmph. I’m amazed you even know such a word. Still, I can’t exactly take your disrespect to my Byakugan lying down.” Neji smiled, putting Naruto down despite for a brief moment opening his right eye in irritation. Blood veins formed around Naruto’s facial side, symbolizing his growing anger to the Hyuuga elite. Even so, he would show an act of maturity by not attacking Neji like how the old Naruto would’ve.

>>3726769
So all that time fucking around with Kin held up the exam? Well that's inconsiderate of us. At least Shikamaru's happy he got to nap while Sakura lezed out with his opponent.

This whole thing felt like a huge waste of time, so just tell us who won and skip to our next fight.

>>3726827

“Anytime you pompous hypocrite. But I’ll think it's better that I knock you off your pedestal and destroy this nonsense elitist mindset.”As Naruto smiled, Neji fully opened his eyes to see the act. His once calm nature was falling apart as he sharply glared at Naruto. You could sense his rising hatred towards Naruto slowly coming to the surface.

“You won’t even get the chance. However, by some miracle you make it past this round, I’ll be happy to instruct you just how the world works and destroy that idiotic notion that you can overcome anything just by powering through with guts and heart. You hopeless failure.” Neji talked down Naruto yet again. Quickly giving into his anger as he was finding it hard to stay still and calm with such a person he despises second only to his uncle.

“Stop calling me a failure!” Naruto yelled.

“Stop acting like one then, not that you can!” Neji shouted back.

No what helped up the exam was the severe damage that Temari's typhoon release did. Which in all fairness is to be expected given the destructive power it can generate.

Writing now.

>>3727161
hey for those curious can we get a sentence or 2 on how shika / naruto / sasuke won and how badly team dosu got fucked up

>>3727161
Ah dammit, those were cool matchups and we didn't get to see what Dosu could do.

>>3727172

Shikamaru used Kin's own hypersensitivity against her long enough to get a shadow possession jutsu off on her. It turned into a contest of brute force as Kin was slowly breaking through the possession while Shikamaru was trying to force her to give up too troublesome. Thus enraging Kin as she was finally having some serious fun.

Shino tried to overwhelm Neji with his insect army while keeping himself close. But Neji proved that was ineffective by making a massive Heaven's Rotation to blow away the insects. Then use his superior speed to take that brief opening to fire long range chakra needles to strike at Shino's chakra pathway system.

Naruto had a uphill battle on his own as Sasuke's Typhoon Style created a vacuum zone where any wind except his own couldn't exist. Despite Zaku's overwelming advantage, Naruto found the eye of the storm and jumped into it to clash with Zaku with his rasengan. Resulting in Zaku being overpowered and sent through the stage.

Dosu and Sasuke was a back and forth game with it escalating over time. Although Dosu had the advantage, he forced Sasuke to use the sharingan once he disarmed Dosu's glove. Thus revealing his true hand as he uses Sage Transformation to produce Black Elements. He also revealed until Sasuke came along he was Orochimaru's student and was eventually going to be his successor. But Sasuke proved too much as his Mature Sharingan + Chidori allowed him to cut through Dosu's Black Lightning by finding it's weak point. Though Dosu was also suppressing the Sage Transformation to avoid losing himself thus proving Orochimaru right with making Sasuke as his true successor/vessel.

Despite losing, Dosu did smile as his sacrifice confirmed that Sasuke will be the one to complete their true objective and get revenge on Orochimaru. [[He knows Sasuke has Mangekyou]

>>3727196

Forgot to mention, it's due to Sage Transformation that's why Dosu has bandages over his body as he was an unfortunate victim of explosive tag bombing tactics similar to our world's equivalent of carpet bombing.

But since he was comparable with Jugo Orochimaru [or to be more accurate, Kabuto] frankenstein him a new arm and it spread to the right side of his body. But he's still having trouble fully bending the new power to his willl. Hence why he keeps it restrain.

I guess one can see it as proto-mitsuki and setting up for Kabuto's own metamorphosis in the future.

>>3726862

As you listen to Naruto and Neji bicker you ultimately put your foot down and got in between them before things escalated further. Naturally you begin to reason to them by pointing out that Hinata didn’t want either of them fighting like this. But it only made things sour as Neji and Naruto’s emotions flared out. Ultimately they decide to keep quiet, leaving you to having to explain to Shino just what was going in your mind that made you thought getting them together was a good idea.

Over the course of the matches you paid close attention to each of them in between exchanging commentary. Unlike before where using your cat-like senses for extended periods was strenuous you recent conditioning has made it a non-factor. For you hiding your bestial attributes to retain appearing more human that was the everyday struggle. Regardless, you commit to having each fight recorded to memory right down to the finite of details.

Eventually the quarter finals soon came to a close and as much of a roller coaster it was you remained focused on the task at hand. Your next opponent was Kin Tsuchi, someone that you have a rather complicated relationship. In your previous battle you discovered that Kin utilizes some form of martial arts that relies on Qigong 気功チーゴング, Chīgongu lit. Life Force Cultivation) or otherwise called Kikō being the centerfold. With it she could resist your chakra absorption and further amplify her physical capabilities.

But you feel like there was more to it than that. There was still the matter of what Kin gained during the battle and why she didn’t use her sharingan to influence you in some way. It certainly would’ve made justifying what you did as mere suggestion or corruptive influence. As you shake off these conflicted feelings you made your way to the arena. Upon arrival you saw that the field was fully restored. The Earth Release ninjas were having their work cut out for them keep restoring the arena from the actions of such explosive combatants.

Standing on the other side of the field was the blind assassin Kin. She didn’t have her sharingan activated but you couldn’t let down your guard. She was just as effective fighting blind as she made it a non-issue. Slowly you make your way towards Kin as Genma was getting ready to signal the first fight of the semi-finals to begin. There was a lot of things you need to do to get through to Kin but as you came to learn. Speaking through your fist was the best option.

>"May the best Kunoichi win"
Alright, since her power up comes from breathing that should be the first thing we take care of. Either we 1. bust her a lung, which may be effective but temporary since she can regenerate and morph her body, or we 2. stick something in her lung which may not work for the same reasons or 3. try our medic jutsu to mess with her body in some way, just making her hiccup may be enough but she's was altered by Orochi so it might easier said than done. In my opinion we should just try both and hope one sticks.
Besides that, use Shinra Banshou and Inner Sakura to our hearts content, that might be able to keep her on her toes. If we go for grappling again, use Aria Mode to get off, maybe we could also use Wind style to try and mess with her senses, maybe figure something like "Air Afterimages" for more mindgames. Inner Sakura gets the Kubikiribocho, mostly for deterrence since I'd rather not maim anyone in front of a crowd.
But remember, nothing we can do will be worse than what Orochimaru already did to her.

>>3727307
>>3727339
>>3727339
>>3727339
Might as well do both since the motives are similar

>>3727689

"May the best Kunoichi win.” You said in confidence and showing good sportsmanship. Despite the importance of the fight you didn’t let it be an excuse for bad manners.

“Right….” Kin muttered cracking her joints to limber herself up. An unnecessary method considering how much subjugation she has over her entire body. Still, she would do it out of habit deeply rooted to her Taijutsu training and martial art’s discipline. You soon ended up doing the same with some stretches as you needed to be at your best if you wanted a chance for victory.

Once the preparations were done the two of you remained stationary just waiting for the other to act. On the first drop of the leaf did you make your move towards Kin who followed suit to begin the clash. A powerful punch from the both of you created a rather strong updraft mixed with shockwaves created from the soundwaves. Although Shinsei Mahachisu was in dormancy it still left you with your honed physical prowess which was monstrous even by chunin standards. And yet here Kin was perfectly matching your current output like a mirror doppelganger.

Then again when you recall all the bodily reconstruction and alterations she underwent in addition to her ten years of intense combat, it wasn’t all that surprising that she was your equal even without powering up. All the more reason why you couldn’t let her initiate her breathing techniques. Upon being pushed back by the force of the clash you jumped back into the ring. Not letting Kin take a deep breath you swiftly swing your left leg in roundhouse formation, aimed directly at Kin’’s chest. Even if she turned every part into an impregnable fortress you were confident that you could break through it.

“Shannyanro” You cried in mid-delivery, showing that your experience with the Ninnekos deeply rubbing off on you. As you went to kick Kin, she only reacted by jumping on to your leg and clinching on it with her hands.

Quickly you brace your arms in a guard upon seeing Kin suddenly spinning on your leg to deliver a series of break-dancing kicks. Naturally you timed your senses to block the majority of the kicks. However, a few of the kicks slipped through your notice and attacked at your abdomen and back. With the Iron Shirt technique you managed to protect yourself and cushion the blow. More importantly, you defended against having your lifeline disable. A martial artist’s life depends on the waist joints as without them they can’t perform to the best of their ability.

>>3727792

You counter this by risking receiving a kick to the chest to catch Kin’s right leg. Now in your possession you aimed your elbow to the knee joint to disable it. Kin gave her own counter by using the momentum build up from her attack to rotate into a snap kick to your face. Although you kept her from hitting your jaw, most of your face took the brunt of the attack as you were sent flying. Before you hit the ground you slammed your hands against the surface to launch yourself upwards. Putting those cat-like reflexes to good us you did an aerial flip to realign yourself as you land on the ground.

In retrospect, you were thankful for the growth spurt or else Kin’s body length would put you at a bigger disadvantage. And with her superior sensory arsenal, you didn’t want to give her any additional help. It didn’t help that she has gotten better at fighting you one on one. She was adapting and you needed to keep up the pressure. Therefore you reach for your scroll for the Kubikiribocho. Simultaneously you called forth Inner Sakura as Kin watched with curiosity. If you wanted to make any progression you decide on relying on numbers. Tossing the massive weapon to Kubkiribocho to Inner Sakura, you prepare your next move.

The crowd meanwhile was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the weapon. Given it's legacy even the common folk would get a vague understanding of the legends. But it was really the more experienced ninjas who knew its true value. There was no turning back now.

>>3727805
>>3727923

The best course of option was observation. Although you fought Kin before just recently you still lacked a lot of information on the bewitching Itako. Meanwhile she was doing just fine moving towards your rhythm and countering your moves accordingly. Thus you commit yourself to watching the fight as you send out Inner Sakura to do battle. For added insurance you quickly turned on Shinsei Mahachisu to augment the flow of chakra as you send it towards your brain and eyes. Amplifying your observation abilities will help committing Kin’s movements to memory. With Inner Sakura’s fast speed and fluid movements, she would quickly take the pace in this fight.

At first Inner Sakura was having quite the effect on Kin with Kubkiribocho. The massive weapon served as a good deterrence as it kept Kin on the defensive. Combined with your Kenjutsu training you held the means to throw off Kin’s previously well attuned rhythm while you the original continue to observe. Although Inner Sakura wasn’t exactly optimizing the blade with the same kind of ferocity that you would expect. Perhaps its somehow connected with the severed connection to Saigyo. Troublesome as it was Inner Sakura pressed forward as it ultimately led towards slashing against Kin’s chest. You saw Kin rotating her body prior to the slash to avoid the full brunt of the attack but a good chunk of the attack.

Much to your dismay the green vest absorbed much of the blow. It was clear that it has to be some sort of custom Flak Jacket given how much damage it can withstand while boasting flexibility. Kusagakure truly was a militarism village ruled by transhumanism. What came next managed to shock you to the core as you see Kin taking off her green vest. Upon doing so her voluptuous figure came into full view, the vest clearly was acting as a suppressor for her sizeable cleavage. Seeing it in full view you realized just how well built her muscular frame truly was. Bulking muscles will retaining a sense of slenderness and athletics. A true textbook definition of supersoldier. As she drops her vest to the ground it made for a rather dense crater.

“Before you jump to conclusion I didn’t adopt your trained weights strategy. My village long since dropped that method for building the body. Instead it’s so dense because it provides optimum protection to keep my vitals safe at all cost. As you saw a martial artist’s lifeline is tied to the waist and hip joints. Disrupt them and even the mighty will fall apart. “ As Kin says this she would also take off her scarf as it makes for a similar effect. You gulped in response, not out of fear, mind you but something else entirely.

“That aside, I can’t exactly overcome that massive sword while wearing these clothing. My flak jacket becomes more of a liability than a strength. And by my estimate it’ll eventually fall completely to your sword. Therefore, it’s time to change strategies.” Now tying her long raven black hair into a more traditional ponytail, Kin focused her eyes against Inner Sakura.

Meanwhile your eyes took to noticing Kin’s chest, not completely out of hormones. But as you looked at it you saw the scrape from the sword was healing at an alarming rate as did the black tank top. The fact that Orochimaru went as far as to give Kin a regeneration ability didn’t do you any favors. Once ready Kin started to take the next move by taking a deep breath. Naturally Inner Sakura came swinging forth with the massive sword to stop her movements. And yet for some reason this seems very odd to you.

As Inner Sakura made her next attack, Kin bounced back while still gathering fresh air. A split second flip, dodging by a hair’s breadth but by doing so she maximizes her dodging and setting up for a counterattack. Using the momentum of her movement, Kin wraps her legs around Inner Sakura’s neck, pulling her from the sword while simultaneously throwing her against the wall at high speeds. It soon dawn upon you that while she was exposed, her uninhibited speed allowed for these split second movements. Luckily Inner Sakura was sturdy as the original as she pulls herself from the wall. Next, Inner Sakura lunged herself forward as Kin stood behind the sword.

Reaching for the Kubkiribocho Inner Sakura was met with a swift kick to the neck. Foolish as it was it was mere distraction as Inner Sakura invoked the Magnet Ninja arts to command Kubkiribocho to levitate. Taking a page from both Ino and Temari she directed the sword to an upward strike at Kin’s back. Unfortunately she moved out of the way just seconds from it connecting. Still, it gave Inner Sakura the change to grab the sword again through the Magnet Ninja Arts drawing her to the blade. With the weapon back in hand Inner Sakura continued to move in rapid swings against Kin.

Kin meanwhile continued to dodge each sword strike with graceful dexterity and fine tuned finesse. Despite the blade now at the level of being a mere extension of your arm, it didn’t stop the fact that Kin could still read Inner Sakura’s movements and be able to respond in time. At the very least you were getting a better understanding of Kin’s fighting style. As you continued observing you felt something odd around the surroundings.

Almost as if you were seeing blurred movements around Kin. The more you thought about it upon observing it the more you picked up the subtle sounds of the bells in Kin’s ponytail. You were starting to fall under her Genjutsu. In between fighting Inner Sakura, Kin was also subtly maneuvering the sound waves to your ears. If it wasn’t for Shinsei Mahachisu and your own resistance, you gathered you would’ve fully fallen to the trick long ago. In spite of this, you quickly decide to act fast by punching yourself hard on the face. The shock from the blow was enough to snap you back into reality while conserving your concentration and chakra.

For it to work you hit yourself hard enough to break your nose given that your own pain tolerance was working against you when it comes to breaking out of Genjutsu. The only downside for it being so high. Still, it was a fair sacrifice for almost ending up like Shikamaru. From your memory you recall Kin like the rest of her team could use soundwaves for a wide array of different effects. Kin typically specializes in mirages among other hallucinations and acts of hypnotism. Again proving her point of being able to recreate the Eye of Hypnosis and the Eye of Insight even without the Sharingan.

“Inner Path: Shadow Clone Jutsu.” Upon activation Inner Sakura begins to split herself into a series of additional copies. Each one was a one to one recreation to the original, right down to having the Kubkiribocho. In mere moments Kin was surrounded by dozens of Inner Sakura. This was the fruit of your labor as you optimized the best of both jutsu after watching the Kiba vs Naruto fight. You didn’t have enough time to fully learn the fission technique or incorporate it into Inner Sakura so this would have to do for now.


“Combing the Shadow Clone technique with Inner Sakura. Clever move as a Shadow Clone is a big risk. Like your manifested spirit it requires strength of will. Most clones including the shadow clone will dispel from a single blow, wasting your chakra in the process. But a strong enough will can make a clone more sturdy and resilient. It also helps if the caster is exceptionally skilled at creating the clones. In spite of this, no matter how well you make the clones or how strong your will is, they will become weaker the more make. So to bypass this you use Inner Sakura as a medium before splitting her into multiple clones. Not only does it let you retain her unique properties but also create a similar effect as if you used a living creature for a medium for the shadow clone to reduce the cost. Am I not mistaken?” Kin smiled, slowly clapping at the sight she was “seeing”.

“Yeah you got me. But just you know about it doesn’t change the fact that I got an army now.” You declared in confident. Even if she could easily read your movement and anticipate your next actions, this was the best course of action to counter it.


“This is true. If we were to look at it you have the advantage now. Even so...just how much mental strain you must be putting on yourself to pull this off?” Despite being blind Kin was rather good at mimicking eye expression as she gave a sharp eyed glance. You didn’t need to say a single word as it was written on your face. Without Inner Sakura you didn’t have your iron clad resistance to genjutsu. And with Saigyo was a no show it was taking your remaining mental power to be fully alert.

“Keeping silent won’t do you any good. Even from this difference I can hear your emotions through your heartbeat. No matter. A few dozen Sakuras might as well equal to fighting a hundred or more trained ninjas. Just perfect to kick this warm up to the next level.” Kin flexes a bit before beckoning the clone army to attack.

>>3728950
I should say that 'Become a storm of wires' is not in a literal sense. It means have each clone throw out a bunch of wires to bind and hamper, controlled by magnet release.

>>3728938
>>3728950
these and

Fire iron hair neeles as suppressive fire at her Tenketsu points make it look like we're trying to disable her breathing.

Then have all clones leap towards her with a sexy henge on. When she's open use magnet arts on the deflected hair to try and infiltrate her respiratory system and then punch the shit out of her respiratory system.

>>3728967
...no sexy henge.

>>3728968

ok what about really disgusting old grandma henges with syphilis?

>>3728975
Or we could NOT henge. We're already under a significant amount of mental strain as is.

>>3728950
That sounds like it's gonna be more mentally straining than just using the sword, and more likely that the clones will get in each others way. But it might be feasible.
>>3728967
We could be more subtle than that. First use Shrinking on the iron needles and have her breath them in, then undo the jutsu.

Going to wait a while longer to see any changes to the battle plan or a unified plan.

>>3729055

Although there was a substantial amount of mental strain maintaining something of this magnitude you press through it. Mental pain was worth it if it means overcoming the sensory skills of Kin. Just to be safe however you proceed to invoke Imitation Beast Art. Sure this gave the chance for Kin to prepare but this sudden increase in physical prowess was well worth whatever Kin had in store. Now invoking the primal power of the beast art the army of Inner Sakuras begin their attack on Kin.Staying firmly on the ground Kin resumed her game of dodging and counter attacking.

The series of unorthodox attacks kept Kin from taking the flow of the battle. She was getting by with scrapes and small cuts as she was overtaken by the erratic movements. At first it seemed like she was fighting a losing battle, but Kin was slowly but surely adapting despite the odds. Even with the worst swing she mitigated most of the attack by rotating and sing her elasticity to perform supernatural feats of dodging. Continuing the pattern of getting by just a hair’s breadth, Kin was getting through anticipation by sheer prediction. Like it or not your observation was telling you that Kin was evolving mid-combat. She was getting more clever and ingenious with handling the army of Inner Sakuras.

What started off with her being overtaken slowly progressed with her dancing to the rhythm of movements. She was returning to form by once again showing such graceful footwork and unrestricted finesse. Followed by knocking them in place with well timed strikes. A punch to the gut, elbow to the face, a swift kick to the ankles, catching the swords barehanded before tugging them for a well timed blow, etc. She even went as far as grabbing one of the Inner Sakura and using them as a shield. Or the mere playing substitution jutsu decoy trick. Now taking full advantage of the size of Kubkiribocho, she starts disrupting the tempo of the Inner Sakura's barrage of slashes and thrusts. Even so, the Kubkiribocho slashes would eventually land across Kin’s body. Despite the direct hits, the skin wouldn’t break as if Kin was reinforcing herself to withstand the blows. Just how much was simple breathing doing to her. Or so it seemed?

Each time the blades made contact with Kin’s skin, it was almost like they were sliding off or being downright repelled. It wasn’t just simply her harden skin being too thick and dense to cut through. There was something more to it than that. This margin for error is what giving Kin the chance to turn the clone’s momentum against them and slam them against one another. As much as you hated to admit it, Kin was effectively a one woman army. The savage nature of Imitation Beast Arts did still give you somewhat of a leg up from before. And the sheer numbers was keeping Kin on her toes as she was still forced on the defensive. But the more this fight continued the closer Kin came to overcoming the army. And without Sharingan no less.

>>3729457

Unfortunately, the Kubkiribocho was hurting your onslaught more than it helped. Kin was using the fact that such a large weapon has a limited number of swings to predict just how exactly it’ll move even with Imitation Beast Art making them unpredictable. But the real negative was the fact that it was a detriment towards your numbers. One wrong move and you ended up slashing against an Inner Sakura. Something that Kin took full advantage off by using the numbers against you. In exchange, you tried countering this by surrounding Kin by all sides. Using her latest backflip against her, the barrage of Sakura’s all attack in position that gave Kin no leg room to escape. She was now cornered as the blades came crashing forward.

“Shōten (Heavenly Ascension)” Kin spoke, taking another deep breath just seconds before the inevitable as she draws very large volumes into her body in an instant.

Just as the blade’s made contact, Kin’s body started to glow. Just in a blink of an eye the multitude of sword attacks were swiftly repelled back while the Inner Sakuras found themselves pushed back by the sudden updraft coming from Kin. Upon closer inspection you saw her chakra flowing against her body in a fluid motion. Circulating from head to toe the golden aura emanating from Kin quickly seeps into her flesh and caused it to glisten noticeably. Her bulking muscles ripen further while her injuries start to speed up and recover. One can almost chalk it up as her getting her second wind.

Seeing that the sword was not effective for ambush, the remaining Inner Sakuras switched to using steel wires. Through the use of Magnet Ninja Arts, Inner Sakura command the metal wire to ensnare around Kin. Seeing the wire’s movement Kin proceed to fall back on a previous strategy by doing a series of flips and turns to avoid the steel wires. In regards to that more and more wires start to bundle together. Even with Nan no Kaizō (Soft Physique Modification) it only delayed the inevitable. Sooner or later Kin found herself ensnared by the living steel wires. Each one of her limbs, torso, and neck was firmly tied by the bundle of steel wires.

With this chance the Inner Sakuras that weren’t holding the wires together proceed to swarm Kin. Tries as she may her brute strength wasn’t enough to break out of the bindings as they hampered her movements. She grits her teeth at the Kubkiribocho wielding army now coming at her. Rather than swing those blades there were mere distractions as the Inner Sakuras harden their hair to that of iron. Once in range each one of them shot against Kin’s Tenketsu points. Valiantly she tried to defend but even with the wires now digging deep into her skin, several of her Tenketsu points were hit.

>>3729510

The shiny sheen that Kin carried was now fading as it appears that she couldn’t keep it up. While it was a crude method of trying to hamper and close Kin’s Tenketsu it seems to have been effective. And the cuts of blood didn’t help with maintaining the blood flow. Like it or not Kin was once again at your mercy. If she were to remain like this she would effectively bleed to death. And the wires around her neck kept her from taking gulps of air less she wanted to put herself at risk. Seems like everything was coming in your way.

Tell her to give up, even as the Inner Sakuras come in to finish the job. She's ensnared, incapable of properly oxygenating her body, several of her tenketsu are shut down restricting her defensive techniques, if we continue at this pace there's a very real possibility of her dying.

yeet

>>3729803

Almost done but I just wanted to be sure, are you looking for a fatal strike or non-fatal?

>>3730771

non fatal

>>3729803

Currently you held the advantage given that Kin was stricken in several of her tenketsu although she kept you from hitting the ones around her chest and other vital areas. Not to mention her wrist and ankles were bleeding and seemingly she couldn’t oxygenate her body thus eliminating her otherworldly ability. At this point she would need to use the Sharingan in order to try and escape out of this. But you kept your distance and cut your senses from Inner Sakura. With the amount of mental strain you were carrying from this you regulated the army to the best of your abilities while minimizing how much feedback you were getting.

You needed to end this quick before any other problems manifest themselves. So you begin to direct one of the Inner Sakuras that was holding Kubkiribocho to march forward to Kin. Slowly it raises it’s hand upwards into a vertical striking position. Wielding the Kubkiribocho at first hand you were aware that this sword was meant for slaughter. A rather troubling weapon when trying to use it for non-lethal combat. With your medical knowledge such a thing was possible and Kin’s physiology was altered to be far greater than the average ninja. Still, if you can avoid it you wouldn’t want to experience being a murderer.

“Kin, I recommend you giving up now. You may have years of experience ahead of me but not even you can get out of this unscathed. Someone as brilliant as you can see just how dire things are. If things were to continue down this pace then there’s a very real possibility that you can die. And I’m not just telling you out of not wanting to get disqualified for killing you. So I plead with you to stand down.” You spoke up from your position while the Inner Sakura continue to march forward. You gave Kin only a small window of time to think before the clone would be within striking range.


“Sorry. The word give up doesn’t really exist in our dictionary. So if you’re going to strike then I’d advise you to do it now but make it count. Or else you’ll come to regret it.” Kin smiled, not showing an ounce of fear. You couldn’t be surprised by this after seeing her memories. Anything you could do to her pales in comparison to what Orochimaru did in order to make her a perfect killing machine.

Without saying another word you directed Inner Sakura to finish it. Although chakra flowing the sword would greatly enhance it’s cutting power you refrained from doing so. You didn’t exactly wanted to split her in two with this strike and the cutting power of Kubikiribocho was still enough to break through Kin’s remaining defenses. Flipping the massive sword to the blunt side, Inner Sakura proceeded with the act. With a downward slash you deliver the full force of Kubikiribocho on to Kin in dramatic fashion. Even with this it was enough to break through Kin’s flesh despite absorbing most of the blow and dampening the damage.

>>3730847

https://narutoversity.wordpress.com/2015/11/29/chakra-absorption/
https://narutoversity.wordpress.com/2015/10/31/sensors-and-sensing/

>>3730847

Blood gushed out from the wound as it rains upon Inner Sakura’s body. A rather gruesome display of showmanship as you went for the goal. The slash managed to connect to one of her lungs despite missing several of her vitals. It wasn’t destroyed or rather not completely but you certainly done a lot of damage to it as it bust. This left Kin falling down against her knees as blood flows down from her wound. From what you looked at it seem like she was reaching unconsciousness. That’s good. Maybe someone can treat her before her wound could be permanent.

Silence filled the arena as you waited for Genma to make the call. Looking at him you saw that he has a stern look on his face. Almost as if he knew something that you didn’t. You wanted to ask him what was wrong. But as you walked over to Genma, several of the Inner Sakuras quickly fell to their knees before dropping to the ground. They were the ones who were holding the wires that currently binds Kin. Speaking of Kin, you watched the wires release her from the bindings upon those clones disbursing. Quickly you switched to sensory mode to see the cause of it.

You were met with quite the shocking discovery. Chakra was flowing into Kin’s body at an alarming rate. At first you recall the clones not once touching Kin once she was bound by the wires. As you thought about it, it quickly came together. The wires, it was through those devices that Kin was siphoning chakra into herself. Previously you only thought such methods can only be done through actual skin to skin contact. After all, you never had a weapon that could directly absorbed chakra or ever try to use a physical medium for the trick. Closest you done was use actual chakra constructs via Shinsei Mahachisu to siphon chakra. This was a rather unfortunate yet helpful learning experience.

Even if you didn’t use sensory mode out of the strain and safeguarding yourself from any potential assaults, it still left the doppelgangers who should notice. The more you thought about it, the more the answers became apparent as you hear a bell ring. It was odd that during the struggle not once did the bell make a sound once you brought out the magnet ninja arts. The Inner Sakuras that were within range didn’t notice this due to already being inside Kin’s Genjutsu. A delayed Genjutsu through the bells as she was infecting each one of the copies through her long scuffle. The fact it reached out to you wasn’t meant to actually catch you. Only further your paranoia and forcing you from the front lines while you observed. Split second circulation with silent masking to avoid detection. A dangerous combination.

>>3730883

“Got to say that surprised me. I didn’t really think you would actually strike me down like that. But since you used the blunt side I can still say that you’re still the same as ever.” Kin remarked, now having gotten up from the ground as her wounds were starting to heal. No longer was she bound by the wires as she looked to the Inner Sakuras who were still lost in the mirage before turning to you. Her tank top was repairing itself as the outfit barely managed to cover her important bits as her bare chest was exposed. There was still a deep gash wound so you knew that you yourself weren’t in a Genjutsu.

“This is going to leave quite the scar. “ Kin found herself touching her chest to notice the blood. It was rather strange that despite having a gaping wound on one of her lungs she was able to speak clearly without any loss of breath. Sure it was being healed alongside with the rest of her body but it still should’ve left her winded. Not only was it the opposite, she was feeling reinvigorated as the golden aura started to return. “Would you like to know the secret of my fighting style before we transition to the main event? Or do you want to continue trying to figure it out before you suffer a brain aneurysm from micromanaging all these clones.” Kin smiled, looking to the dozens of Inner Sakuras that were still around.

>Swallow your pride and accept Kin’s explanation

She's clearly not going to stop until she's dying, and maybe not even then. Fine. We'll shove our giant, girthy sword into her, and use it to pin her to the ground.

>>3731003

Seeing Kin smile nonchalantly made you grit your teeth in frustration. After all of that it still wasn’t enough to bring her down. Now killing her would’ve been equally bad but after this you weren’t sure if you could even pull it off with the Kubikiribocho. Not that you wanted to do such a thing in a public location in addition to your morality. As you fumed over the stunt you take a moment to look at yourself. You were upset but still impressed with the act. Pride was keeping you from acknowledging that even without the sharingan Kin was a strong adversary.

“Deep down I knew it wouldn’t be easy. After all you haven’t even started to use those special eyes of yours. That alone tells me that you weren’t going out. So I assumed you were underestimating me hence why I tried to take you down with this strategy. But like how I assumed you were underestimating me, I was unknowingly taking you unlikely. Honestly I thought that all you knew how to do is copy others and mimic them to the fullest ability. And without your enhancements you weren’t all that special.” You sighed as you begin to explain your current mindset.

By coming out into the opening it was helping you calm down and keep a level head. Simultaneously each of the other Inner Sakura back into you. Effectively restoring the majority of your massive reserves and returning your Genjutsu resistance. The ones that Kin drained didn’t restore your reserves, once again reaffirming the strengths and weaknesses of clone techniques. Kin on the other hand merely focused on healing while listening to you. The wounds on her chest was more or less healed with the shirt partially repairing itself thus exposing more of her cleavage and abdomen.

“So I apologize and ask of you to fully explain how you did all of that stuff.” You briefly bowed to Kin, catching her off guard with your sudden act of swallowing your pride and acknowledging Kin. It threw her off guard as she was expecting a far more aggressive response.

“Well you’re not wrong about me being a copycat. I take anything that is compatible with me and utilize it to the fullest capability. Many forms of martial arts and jutsu are born from observation and inspiration of others. Such as the animals, the people or nature itself. With that in mind, rather than being a mere copycat, I train relentlessly to make anything I learn or copy become integrated with me until it is truly my own and fits my style. You weren’t the first person I copied and you sure won’t be the last so long as I draw a breath. “ Kin explained, undoing her headband and letting her raven hair fall down and exposing some of her bangs.

>>3731288

“As for my primary style it’s called the Shōten Ōnshouken (Heavenly Ascension of the Victorious Goddess's Fist/Fist of the Victorious Goddess Ascending into the Heavens). It’s one of the few truly original moves of Kin Tsuchi. As you figured out I use the power of breathing as the centerfold of my fighting style. By controlling one’s breathing you can draw the body’s natural capabilities and reach superhuman feats. My Yang chakra for instance is supercharged through this style. I who have been conditioned as a perfect super soldier can optimize my breathing and maximize my respiratory system to fully utilize this martial arts to the utmost degree. But to further developed it I took inspiration from the animal kingdom and underwent relentless training to reach the same feats to overcome the weaknesses and flaws to this fighting style.” As Kin continued to explained her previous feats began to make a lot more sense. There were several animals in particular who boast remarkable respiratory system feats, And if Kin trained herself to pull those off then it all the more explained how even having a punctured lung and her neck tighten that she was able to perform her fighting style with no noticeable lost in strength or effectiveness.

“As for how I was able to deflect your moves it’s called the Tenkei (Heavenly Release), an instantaneous blast of kinetic force and densely compressed air pressure. Like Zaku’s Decapitating Airwaves and Dosu’s Resonating Echo I can control the ratio between sound and air. It’s a versatile technique as with sound waves I can repel virtually any attack that comes into contact. Or use that concussive force to generate an impact that harms the opposition both internally and externally. There’s more but why bore you with the play by play when you can experience it personally.” Kin stated, tying her headband around her neck before turning her attention to the sky.

“In our little fight earlier and that warm up you only saw a fraction of what I am capable of.
Therefore, let me address that question you asked earlier. Why aren’t I using that? Is it because it’s too much of a drain for me? Is it because of arrogance? Or an assortment of other reasons that I’m sure your big brain is currently thinking off. Well I’ll tell you right now that I have condition myself for the past ten years to handle those special eyes of mine in addition to being optimized as a super soldier. And it’s not arrogance that keeps me from using.” Kin said, softly putting her fingers on her face as she reflects upon her sharingan eyes.

>>3731322

After thinking about it for a bit, Kin soon turned her head back towards you to look you eye to eye. A serious yet relaxed expression as whatever hostility she has was now gone. “Sakura Haruno. I just want to fight you as myself. Not for Kusagakure, not for my benefactors or for anyone else. Just merely as Kin Tsuchi. And that’s why I couldn’t let the battle end there.“

“Why?” You asked as it is now your turn to be confused by the actions of the other. Just when you thought you understand her she pulled something like this out of nowhere. No longer resembling the previous incarnation, Kin simply makes for a soft smile.

“Why? If you beat me in this fight I'll tell you the answer. Right now, let’s focus back on fighting. Because I’m about to kick it up a notch.” Upon saying that a sudden fluctuation of dense air currents manifests around Kin. The golden aura she previously emitted fully manifested with a vengeance. Mainly due to the amount of bio-energy it was generating, Kin’s chakra quality and signature skyrockets. For some reason you got a similar feeling to several of your friends and even yourself upon seeing the sight.

Now for a callback to a certain scene from Ippo

An intense golden aura currently flows around Kin as you continued to watch the spectacle. It was serene and focused while simultaneously wild and bursting with energy. It was enriched with yang chakra and yet at the same time it wasn’t chakra at all. It was pure air pressure circulating around Kin as it felt similar to Choji’s Butterfly Mode, Hinata’s Pressure Point augmentation, and Rock Lee’s Eight Gates. It wouldn’t put it past you that Kin committed them to memory but there was something unique about it. Something that was almost otherworldly as you felt this enlightened aura admitting from her. Seeing this in action made your body tremble at the monstrosity that was in front of you. It was frightened but also excited over the experience. A true paradox in every sense of the word.

“This is my true strength Sakura Haruno. The fruits of my own perseverance and hardwork as well as the ultimate form of sovereignty over my entire body. Prepare yourself.” Kin mentioned as she waited until you were fully on guard. Which was good for you cause the moment you blinked she was already gone. As you darted you way to your back, Kin was already behind you as you turned.

With a simple press from her chest to your back, you felt yourself flung across the battlefield. Tremendous kinetic force combined with concussive pressure overwhelmed you. Causing you to hit the ground in ragdoll physics before you sprung to catch yourself mid-fall. Just in time for Kin to appear behind you yet again. Just with a single brush of her leg was enough to send you high into the atmosphere. Your senses dart around trying to comprehend what just happened. With a single leap, Kin shot towards you like a speeding missile. Quickly closing the gap between you, you only guarded yourself through tanking to withstand Kin’s rapid fire punches. Each one generated exceptional force with tints of static electricity as you endure the barrage.

Before you knew it, you were already knocked down on the ground. The Iron Shirt method barely managed to damper and absorb the blows. But the bio-energy flowing through them made your body tense up and stagger from the experience. You tried to overpower it through brute force but the process would take about a couple of seconds. Giving Kin more than enough time to appear right behind you. Fist just inches between your right cheek bone. The heat coming from her fist only made your hair stand up as goosebumps start to form. It was like facing the rising sun itself now compacted into a single fist. This kind of radiance was indeed on a whole nother level compared to Shōten. You couldn’t afford to hold back any longer.

“That was just a sample of this form. As you felt it through your body this is an amplifying technique that drastically augments my physical prowess. But everything you experience is through pure Taijutsu alone. And since I'm a walking battery of energy, my monstrous stamina can now shine through. This is far different than the breathing techniques presented in my fighting style. In fact a byproduct of Shichi Tenkohō is the fact my lung capacity increases several folds the further I go. And just for the record, in base form I have the superhuman lung capacity to hold my breath and survive off it for a full month thanks to my body control and honed respiratory system. You understand what that means right?” As she says this you felt Kin’s aura flaring up further as more oxygen was being drawn to her like some sort of vacuum.


“Crystal. Trying to disrupt your breathing while you’re like this a true challenge. And I thought your muscles absorbing all the fresh oxygen and retaining to maximize your optimize performance was insane. And there’s still your Shigan to factor into all of this. I really got my work cut out for me. “ You said, relaxing your nerves as you see Kin lowering her fist and continuing the conversation. She shifted her blackened eyes at you momentarily before looking at the sky.

“I get the strong impression that you haven’t fully awaken your super form. Hence why I’m holding back on mine. If Shinsei Mahachisu is your answer to the Eight Inner Gates then Shichi Tenkohō is mine. While they’re not as explosively powerful they do offer far better control and lesson the risk and injury for prolonged exposure. But if push comes to shove, they can reach the same output as the Eight Inner Gates as a last resort, am I not mistaken?” Kin asked, causing you to merely shrug with a smile.


“Cat’s out of the bag. Shouldn’t be surprise that you’d figured that out. When I first used this technique it was out of necessity since my inner gates were open. I never really tried to use it like that again out of fear of losing control and seriously damaging my body as a best case scenario. It’s been five months since that experience. And I underwent a lot of changes and got to see first hand from Lee how the Gates should be. Accumulating all of my experiences and perseverance has led me to this point. I’m no longer afraid. ”Slowly closing your eyes you briefly callback to your personal experiences. Although it was painful, it was necessary for you to move forward as a kunoichi and become that much closer to your dream. So there was only one thing that can be done at this stage.

“Martial arts are born through observation and mimicking what you see before making it your own right? If that’s the case...Kin I’m taking the core aspect of your fighting style to further my own and finally pull it off. I’ll fully harmonize the serene state of the chakra flow with the explosive power of the inner gates and take Shinsei Mahachisu to the next stage. It should be within the realm of possibility given that Shinsei Mahachisu is about chakra control to achieve it’s calm and focused nature to enhance itself. Meanwhile the Inner Gates is about power through extreme bodily control, combined the two together and there’s no telling how high I can go!” You screamed, exciting your body in anticipation as you begin to make that boast into a reality.

Silvery white hair started to glow as you use the principle of Kin’s Shōten Ōnshouken to improve your breathing flow. Naturally you saw a significant improvement in the chakra flow that Shinsei Mahachisu provided but more importantly it was enough to begin harmonization. The First Inner Gate located in your mind starts to open as chakra flows fluidly through the cracks, no longer putting immense strain on the gate. As a result, you felt your body suddenly explodes in power.

“Shinsei Mahachisu: First Bloom” You begin to take a fighting pose while trying to hide the giddiness you felt from pulling off such a gamble. All that physical conditioning and training to Shinsei Mahachisu paid off for this shining moment. And now you’re going to see just how far you can push it.

“Good. That’s very good. Now we can finally fight for real.” Kin smiled wildly, the pupils in her eyes turning completely white. In addition, her raven black hair suddenly transition to a golden lemon-cream hue. A complete inverse to its natural colors.

Further preparing yourself you called upon your emphatic sensing and the Kōgan. Dealing with Kin’s Shigan was quite the troublesome endeavor. Her information gathering and reaction speed was top notch. So you are going to need something to truly mask your own intent if you were going to have any chance of hitting her. And you were going to do it with your own self-made fighting style, the Jūjoōken. If sh was fighting you as Kin Tsuchi then you were going to meet such demands as Sakura Haruno. There was nobody else who you would rather be.

After a quick stare down, the two of you sprint towards one another. The movement speed made you appear as complete blurs to the untrained eye. In truth your motion was akin to that of using the Body Flicker, although more control and fluid rather than the straight path it usually took. Even at this speed you were capable of following Kin’s movements. Using your skills to the best of their abilities you exchanged blows with Kin. With perfect timing you manage to block every attack with your own. Unfortunately this came with quite the drawback. The roughness and density of her skin was the same to your own though noticeably higher in quality. It wasn't anything you couldn't handle, especially after striking much harder surfaces. It's what came through that was truly problematic.

Each one of Kin’s blows connected with yours sent a powerful charge of kinetic energy, concussion force and the internal bio-energy from within. This vivid mixture manifests itself as a golden current as it invades your body. This sensation felt very similar to the Nijuushou if not exactly the same. Of course this was more intense given the added elements. You gritted your teeth as blood dripped from your lips. Stubbornly you kept at this brawl protecting your insides to the best of your ability while delivering blow after blow to Kin.

Your current state gave you the means to withstand such sky shocking blows. That didn’t change the fact it was still damaging you with each blow. Despite that you refused to dodge or block as with the rest of team Dosu demonstrated, Kin didn’t need to fully connect for her emission to attack your body. All you can do is endure and cushion the blow with your body. In exchange you sent the Kōgan to simultaneously deliver a blow of it’s own. Much to Kin’s dismany she wouldn’t be able to dodge in time. Moving chakra was far harder to predict at this range in addition to body movement.

Therefore this battle has now turned into an endurance game. Whoever crumbles first would be the loser. You weren’t any stranger to endurance matches given your training with Lady Nekoma. That said, this wasn’t going to be easy as you continued to exchange blows. Despite the body length deformation jutsu protecting your vitals, you still felt the internal damage traveling through your entire body upon contact with Kin’s strikes.The constant mixture of the trinity turned Kin’s entire body into a weapon. Even something absurd as a mere hip bump carried tremendous destructive power as you came to realize. Above all else you cannot afford to get grappled against Kin’s powerful emissions.

At the very least your current strategy kept Kin on her toes as her graceful dodges were non-existence. Like you she had to settle with blocking with her body as the Tenketsu damage limited her once seemingly invincible defenses. Be that as it may it was turning out to be quite evenly between the two of you. Just as Kin was having a hard time reading your next move you were struggling to do the same. Even if you knew the method of her strike, you couldn’t pick up how the emission would act. Still, you persevered through the exchange of bone shattering blows. Pushing your resilience and durability to the limit, you continued this dance of blows with Kin.

Through the use of her pressure she was delivering at least six more crushing blows in session towards yours even with Kogan’s assistance. You could only met this by focusing more on quality than quantity to overcome this. Still, to get anywhere you had to gamble it on your next move. Using Jakutensuka (Pressure Point Change) you quickly reprogram your own consciousness. You were betting on the instantaneous output and feedback to bypass Kin’s Shigan. As you did this however, Kin shot pass through your Kogan’s strikes to close the gap between the two of you. You can only withstand what’s to come to ensure completing the transition.

“Sōtennyū Hōkōdan (Twin Heavenly Burst Raging Bullet)” Kin thrust herself against you in a powerful tackle against the check. The raw power alone would be enough to shatter through solid reinforced iron with ease but it’s the trinity force that truly overwhelmed you. Reduced to coughing up blood you briefly dropped as your consciousness started to get fuzzy. That said, you bounced back by leaping passed Kin as she felt a sudden slash against her chest.

Kin blinked in shock at the deep gash wound against her chest as you land on to your two feet. She placed her hand against her wound, watching it heal as a byproduct of the abundant amounts of yang chakra coursing through her body. As she turns to see your current state Kin was met with an unforeseen sight. Cat ears now sticking on top your head following with a rather long snow white cat tail. Standing in front of Kin was a Sakura Haruno that now reverted that into a mere Neko.

“Nyah~” You smiled, scratching your neck with your feet now adopting the cat lifestyle in a time like this. Everyone in the stadium was confused by your erratic behavior. Meanwhile Kin could only look in awe as her aura intensifies out of excitement.
