Walking casually through an area of Hi no Kuni that had yet to be spoiled by shinobi-kind, Hyuga Kayaku had returned to his homeland once again. His trip had taken him to the Law country, where he had reunited with one of his lovers, the Voice of Jashin, Kyodai Jirou. Some would say that their relationship was toxic or insanity however Kāyaku didn't think it to be so. What's toxic for some isn't for others, and Kayaku never suffered from insanity; he enjoys every minute of it. Despite his odd love life and being a wanted man, something always brought the man back home. No matter how far away he had traveled this mysteriously profound, and otherworldly force brought him home. Too Kayaku, it felt like nostalgia, though not the kind that elicits fond memories, that usual warm fuzzy feeling or anything of that nature. The nostalgia Kayaku felt was warped and twisted, a gnawing urge in the pit of his gut that could only elicit negative emotions. Feelings of regret, sorrowful mourning, rage, sadness and abandonment. Feelings that would usually keep a person away from the thing that caused it, especially someone such as the Hyuga, whose freedom was nearly unbound. Yet, he always, eventually found himself back home. As if he were tethered to the very land itself, with only death being the only way to escape. The man chuckled, quickly thinking that with his luck, even death couldn't pry the "Hi no Kuni" from who and what he is. After all, he could take himself out of his country, but could he or anyone else take his country and Identity out of the man? To be honest, Kāyaku could go on for hours and hours on end about how there wasn't any love between him and his homeland. The truth of the matter was simple… he loved his home. Which might or might not include the hidden village. Nevertheless, Kayaku had given himself an excuse as to why he returned, and this time it wasn't his usual unimaginative "Mountain-top Dojo" spiel. This time he had business with one of his associates, a Hyuga by the name of Shigure. The two kinsmen unintentionally crossed paths one faithful evening. Kayaku decided to test the then Genin shinobi due to him being the former heir and Shigure being the current heir; Kayaku's replacement. Nonsense and drivel soon followed as Shigure quickly denounced Kayaku, calling him the Ghost of the Hyuga, and that he was an evil man who slew the former leader, and left the village merely on a whim. He didn't even know the full story... Kayaku was someone who rarely shows any sign of anger, he was the epitome of serenity and the personification of nonchalant. However, when he heard the bullshit the elders had told the clan and following generations, it tore open a wound that he thought to have healed. Out of that wound came the anger and disgust he harbored for his late mother, the former leader of the Hyuga clan, who had been killed by his hands. The older Hyuga nearly forgot that he wanted to simply test the boy's prowess and resolve, so much so that he slowly stopped pulling his punches. Then… something miraculous happened, Shigure's words managed to reach the Hyuga heir deep inside the Missing-nin; the boy Kayaku was before he had become Seishin, the Spirit or Borei no Hyuga, Ghost of the Clan. It forced the man from his fury, utterly stopping him in his tracks as if he were powerless to do anything but concede. After Kayaku regained his composure, the two of them had agreed upon a wager. A promise between Hi no Kunians… A deal between two shinobi… A pact that ordered Kāyaku to abstain… A vow of blood between kin… Thinking back to that day, the man chuckled, it was true that Shigure's conviction and burning desire is what saved him a few broken bones. However, Kayaku also played devil's advocate during that fateful day and agreed simply to see Shigure fail. Annoying as it was… as he was, Kayaku ultimately decided to play along and agreed to Shigure's terms. Promising to not pull why Missing-nin shenanigans so that Shigure can fix the clan his own way. Of course Kayaku didn't think the boy would succeed, there was still a small part of him that had been buried for so long secretly hoping that the boy would. Sadly, that was months ago and they're hasn't been any word from Shigure let alone any noticeable change that had involved the Hyuga clan. Then the fallout between Shodaime and the village happened. This event coupled with not hearing a single word from Shigure, let alone a basket of snacks or something, meant that Both him and Shigure had failed… Up until today, Kayaku still had faith in the younger shinobi so much so that he stayed his hand a little longer and decided to reunite with Jirou to buy Shigure more time. Now that time has run out and the Ghost of the Hyuga had returned, Shigure's time had run its course and Kayaku was itching to cause some mayhem and destruction. If the Hyuga didn't want to change then Kayaku would force retribution upon them. Complete and utter annihilation was the only option. The Hyuga Clan Massacre, the extinction of every single Hyuga save Shigure; Kayaku didn't plan on himself leaving out situation alive, his only goal was to destroy the clan. Regardless of his own life… ...Or so he thought Lost in thought as he traveled through the murky swamplands known as Kawa. Kayaku's pace increased subconsciously going from a casual stride to a fast paced all and then to jogging, and finally max speed. Sprinting, flipping and dodging inundated roots and fallen tree limbs, the man's destination was Konohagakure no Sato. Although he didn't know it at time he would never make it to the hidden village. While racing through the unforgiving wilderness his Byakugan caught the slightest glimpse of a very familiar Chakra signature; a chakra that was not only produced by a Byakugan eye but also by someone from his immediate family. There were slight differences between the Chakra signature that he just saw and the one he remembered, but he still decided to investigate its source. Kayaku couldn't ignore another Hyuga within the area, especially someone of his family. Letting them go would put an end to his Hyuga assault before it had even begun. "Well well… and here I thought I'd come across one of my family members. My uncle to be exact" the man said, suddenly appearing out of the foliage as if he had used the Shunshin no Jutsu. "Tell me young man… exactly how did you come by that Byakugan eye? You're no Hyuga, though it seems you're not exactly a normal person either….. biologically speaking". Although Kayaku wasn't a medic and didn't have official training with medical jutsu, he was fairly familiar with seeing Human Anatomy, due to having trained and used his own doujutsu extensively throughout his life. Due to the Byakugan and peering into countless Shinobi bodies Kāyaku was able to notice certain differences between the people he met. Most people appeared the same as the next, with slight variation due to aspects such as their clan, diet and overall health; irregardless of that Kayaku had never seen anatomy like this Wahei's. Of course it really was the same as any other person, everything was in it's correct please such as organs, bones and muscles. However it was the minute differences that stood out more than if he were looking into someone else. Such as the rytheme of the person's heart beat, to the thickness of his blood or how his muscles tensed when he moved. "Are you some type of designer human test tube person? Wait, never mind that, answer the Byakugan question. " Kayaku asked out loud before doubling back to his original question. Not realizing how unsettling it would be for a random man suddenly appearing and then asking questions about a Doujutsu. What made this even worse was that Kayaku's face and his own Byakugan was covered by his usual freaky looking eyeless mask. 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. |
