Like Mindedness, A Cautionary Tale. [Wynne]May 16, 2022 0:47:29 GMT -5
If one were to venture deep within Hi no Kuni's highlands, in an area of unforgivable terrain, they would find something out of place when compared to the natural vast expanse of the area. A large building, nestled in one of the most remote regions of the fire country. Stepping out of the structure was Hyuga Kayaku, native born Hi no Kunian and one of the country's most wanted criminals. Although the man has been everything but a criminal in recent years, his infamy would still strike fear into those who happened to stumble upon him. Kayaku, however, has renounced most of his criminal ways. Setting aside the bloodlust, the violence and urge to control the world around him for the life of a martial artist. Sunlight peeked around the mountain the man now called home, teasing the landscape with several rays of light. The brisk morning air nipped at the Hyuga's skin as he walked towards a battered and bruised area of land. The tortured land beneath him was a result of Kayaku awakening an ability that could very well be the panicle of chakra control. With it, he was able to drastically increase his already large degree of strength. Since obtaining what he called chakra enhanced strength, the ghost of the Hyuga clan had been training his body and mind to become familiar with the ability. Today would be no different; having finally reached the center of the scarred training area. The grandmaster of the currently unnamed mountain-side dojo, Kayaku wrapped his battered and bruised arms in bandages. From the top of his fingers up to his shoulder, the man wrapped and wrapped again, wanting the covering to be as sturdy and tight as possible. Training the Chakra Enhanced Strength, releasing his potent chakra with pinpoint accuracy caused wear and tear of his hands and arms. "Training alone again it seems… heh wouldn't be the first time I guess" he paused and started stretching his body, preparing for the arduous session ahead of him. "Won't be the last either" he said, the stretching getting his blood flowing for the morning. If luck was on his side, today would be the day that someone would stumble upon his Dojo in the middle of nowhere. If such a thing did happen, Kayaku would greet them as Grandmaster of the dojo, and not an S-rank Missing-nin. He'd more than likely ask them to join his training session or to have some tea, honorably and genuinely. However, if they so happened to not reciprocate the neutrality and honor that he had given them; the Hyuga would not hold back in his retaliation. He would not stop until their chakra system was destroyed and their body, organs, bones and flesh crushed into paste upon the rocky ground beneath them. Stringing together handseals, the Hyuga activated the shadow clone jutsu, creating a single clone. Although it wasn't the same as training against a real person, this particular shadow clone was created from Kayaku's likeness. Which meant that it had access to all of the elite Jounin's abilities, including his strength, speed and endurance; making the copy a great training partner. The clone was already aware of the situation, falling into the gentle fist stance it would simply nod at the original to signify it was ready. Kayaku wasted no time or effort and moved straight for the shadow clone, although he did not use any techniques or the gentle fist jutsu. Instead, the original relied solely on his physical strength and speed. Two palm strikes were sent forward, one aiming at the clone's face and immediately after it's chest. The shadow clone responded by side stepping the initial palm, before trying aiming a knife hand to the back of Kayaku's neck. The original dropped low to the ground to evade the knife hand, he'd then spin his body with one foot reached out to trip the clone. The clone barely evaded the leg sweep, jumping back several times before rushing towards the original. Kayaku was already back to his feet, as the clone approached the original would leap into a flying kick. The clone couldn't evade so it blocked with both arms instead. Despite successfully blocking the kick, it's force sent the clone sliding across the ground. Kayaku smiled, despite not having a real training partner to increase his skills, trading blows with himself was a difficult task. The clone recovered it's footing and fell into the gentle fist stance, surprising the original. "I know what you're thinking… You're wishing that you had an actual person to train with. Hehehe, can't say I wouldn't feel the same way, after all I'm you. However, you shouldn't underestimate yourself" the clone said, using its massive speed to quickly close the distance between himself and the original. The clone's words were true, Kayaku was one of the strongest Taijutsu users that Konoha had ever produced, it would be stupid to think his own shadow clone wouldn't be enough to train with. The two of them engaged one another, the clone's palms releasing chakra with every strike. Kayaku held fast to not using chakra just yet, relying on the Byakugan, his speed and strength to evade, redirect or counter the clone's strikes. Eventually the two would become a blur to the untrained eye, the only thing visible would be their tracks in the ground from where they had recently stepped. "Ōkashō [Cherry Blossom Impact]" the original Kayaku exclaimed, finally using chakra in an attempt to destroy the clone in one quick strike. However, using the latest jutsu derived from the chakra enhanced strength on an actual opponent was different than when practicing with a stationary training dummy. So much so that it allowed the clone to escape Kayaku's jutsu. Jutsu Used: Shadow Clone x1 NAME: Ōkashō [Cherry Blossom Impact] RANK: C CHAKRA USAGE: Low CLASSIFICATION: Taijutsu ELEMENT: - HANDSEALS: 0 REQUIREMENT: Chakra Gouriki [Chakra Enhanced Strength] DESCRIPTION: While some may see it as "superhuman strength", this technique is actually an application of medical ninjutsu, that demands the ability to concentrate, along with minute chakra control. An immense amount of chakra is kneaded inside the body, and a moment later all of it it is gathered into the fist. That chakra is then released into the target, which does a great amount of damage. With the damage done dependent on the amount of chakra used, it is also possible for a skilled shinobi to amass it in their fingertip. When the ground is hit it is pulverized into minute pieces by the excess shock, which are then scattered like flower petals, giving rise to the name "Cherry Blossom Impact". SA Used: Byakugan Master[Always Active] One of Kayaku's trademark abilities is his Byakugan, with the other two being his Taijutsu and chakra control. While the Byakugan is very common within in his clan, Kayaku's is especially powerful. With his eyes, he has a near-360° penetrative field of vision, with a small blind-spot exists behind his third upper-thoracic vertebrae. Kayaku's Byakugan gives him the ability to see chakra, which it can do to a greater degree than the Sharingan, with it he can identify chakra by the specific individuals it originates from and determine when genjutsu is being used. Kayaku's ability to see chakra is acute enough to see the chakra pathway system and the 361 tenketsu that run along it, including the Eight Chakra Gates, additionally his vision can penetrate through most solid objects and obstructions, however certain barriers may distort his Byakugan's perception The range of this vision varies between clan members, however Kayaku has refined both his long range and close range visual prowess. When focusing his vision in a single direction, Kayaku can see across vast distances, reaching as far away as 15 kilometers, while at close distances his Byakugan grants his attacks pinpoint accuracy, allowing him to magnify in on the slightest movements of his opponents body and inturn move to dodge or intercept. Lastly, Kayaku's Byakugan is able to follow high-speed movements, which allows the him to react better under entense situation. With that being said Kayaku's prowess with his Byakugan is such that it allows him to see the faintest movements of his opponents body, see fast-moving objects or opponents, chara and his opponents Organs, simply put Kayaku has one of the strong Byakugan's to hail from the clan. Agility of the Rabbit Over the years, Kayaku has gained a high level of agility, this coupled with the added visual prowess granted to him by his Byakugan has also endowed him with impressive evasive skills. Utilizing both his agility and the dojutsu allows him to dodge, evade and even counter the trickiest of attacks. Kayaku has also learned to read his enemies' attack patterns with the Byakugan, which greatly increases his already potent evasive skills. This is done by Kayaku paying close attention to the enemie's chakra system and body movements, allowing Kayaku to basically see when his opponent is about to attack. Enhanced Physical Speed Even without speed enhancing jutsu, Kayaku is naturally fast and now thanks to the tremendous raw strength in his legs, Kayaku's natural speed is more than enough to keep shinobi busy during battle. Allowing him to move fast enough to instantly close a gaps between him and his opponent. In battle, he can strike with incredible speed in rapid succession, making it highly difficult for his opponents to find an opening and counterattack. This allows him to react to the visual information given to him by his Byakugan, such as seeing incoming projectiles, or enemy jutsu or even dodging close range attacks that would be impossible to do so otherwise. Matchless Man Kayaku has gained a large degree of physical strength as a result of his life long Taijutsu training. Admittedly, Kayaku had intended to increase his striking power but unintentionally found many different uses for his unimaginable strength. Now honed to elite shinobi standards and possibly higher, Kayaku's strength is no doubt top tier. Kayaku's strength is mostly displayed is in his ability to seemingly punch, break or attack through anything. Whether this is attributed to the use of chakra or strength alone has yet to be determined. However, with his natural strength alone Kayaku can easily punch through most objects such as flesh, bones and wood, with the use of a chakra his striking power could extend to concrete, steel and even chakra constructs. As mentioned above, this strength also comes in handy with other situations as well, being a taijutsu master, Kayaku can easily attack or Defend against most his opponent's attacks with his bare hands. Endurance of the Taijutsu Master Another one of Kayaku's defining traits is his extreme level of physical endurance, like his physical strength Kayaku has trained his entire body in order for him to survive deadly attacks that was attributed to Taijutsu but in later years ninjutsu as well. Allowing him to survive most attacks or continue fighting with injuries capable of bringing even jounin to their knees. This, coupled with his incredible strength, make him an incredibly fearsome foe if forced to fight seriously. Hyuga's Chakra Prowess Like all Hyuga clan members Kayaku was born with an inherent ability to expel chakra from any or all Tenketsu, over the Years Kayaku has mastered the use of this ability and has gained exceptional amount of control of his chakra, It usually takes a shinobi a great deal of time and training to gain just an average amount of chakra control. However, in Kayaku's case things were different. Even as a young child, Kayaku was able to mould his own chakra. Now, as an adult and an S ranked Missing-nin, Kayaku's chakra control is otherworldly. Kayaku's innate talent allows him to precisely gather chakra from any part of his body and use any of his techniques to its maximum potential with no wasted chakra or timing. Kayaku has expanded his chakra control to the point that he is able to rapidly accumulate large amounts of chakra within his body without his enemies noticing, and unleash it from any tenketsu without any wasted effort. |
