10 The Prodigy

A few months after i got my Electromaster skill i went ahead and acted as if i was awakening, hell i think i went a little to far. I wouldn't be proud of just doing some screams, blood, and flickering lightning. I did this speech during a council meeting, my reason?

Dad i need to learn politics, i might get assigned to CRA just because of my ridiculous affinity to lightning and wind.

In this world it seems like chakra paper is a thing but only a basic thing. Us people with higher authority can access the Altar of Affinity. this altar was a relic found deep within the mountains the hokage stone-faces were carved. in a 50 meter area outside and even inside the altar space the rock was hard, so hard in fact that Guy, the best taijutsu master in konoha, heck even in all of the elemental nations, needed to open up to the 4th gate to 'easily' break the surroundings.

This altar had 9 Big stone pillars surrounding the middle obelisk, the pillars themselves look more like a swirling snake going up and above, the obelisk was shining with a deep amethyst color.

This Altar could measure how far the affinity of someone was. the obelisk itself would flash colors depending on which element, and to what extent would the 9 pillars light up would determine their affinity, the nidaime hokage reached 70% lights on all the pillars.

My test was so absurd due to the fact that my awakening caused the pillars to move, it slithered like a real snake, and the obelisk vibrated, at that moment i was panicking asking the system what was happening but i received no response, then i found myself in a world of storms, lightning of all colors, differing ferocity, differing strengths, and most importantly all those lightning were mesmerizing to the point i didn't care about the place, i understood lightning greatly during my time there, and the turbulent air currents, the way it helped and affected lightning, due to that maybe not to the point of lightning but my wind manipulation certainly got better.

I flashed back to the altar, i felt like i was missing something, yes i was missing knowledge, strength, qualifications to learn the full secrets of the altar, then the altar slowly reverted back to its original state. Thinking of something, i went ahead and acted as if i was in extreme pain, i used the Raijin component of my lightning based chakra. and i manipulated it using my elemental and electromaster, to make it affect me inside and outside, i did this to fool the sensors, and most importantly the hyuugas with us. i made it seem as if i was being integrated with lightning, next when the lightning was calming down, turbulent winds, fierce tornadoes appeared in the confined space where i was, but instead of me being torn to shreds it was as if i was at peace. then i made the lightning a dragon, sure it was hard on me but the looks they had was priceless.

After that incident which was called the "Dragon's Awakening" which for now was a S-Class secret. of course some civilian council members were there as well, and due to me overdoing it a little, the CRA was being heavily pushed onto me, i decided to play a little, considering i had to act alot for the past years,

"Council members. may i please have your attention? yes now before you ask, i know it is a little rude interrupting matters such as this, but it is even more so rude if you are trying to decide a person's marriage without their consent." A few got a little embarrassed but some were probably thinking i was a easily fooled 'Childe'.

"Shikaku-sama, this would strengthen our village, you would like that wouldn't you? after all this will help the village your adoptive father, the yondaime hokage, manage become stronger." This pig disgusts me a little, if i was any other child i would become like "YEA! I WANT TO HELP DAD!" unfortunately for him i wasn't.

"While it would help, but down the line this could cause strife. if i were to marry a hyuuga and uchiha clan member respectively, and if they weren't on good terms, as time passes on the internal strife in my family would grow, each from the different shinobi clan factions, wanting my bloodline to favor their clans. And while i do know that marrying Kunoichi is better for their genes have been adapted for chakra, this still doesn't solve my problem, but if i were to marry too much females from one clan, this could be seen as favoritism and sew discord between that clan and the other clan's of konoha." Shock was apparent, haha. take that you fools, my noble temperament isn't just for show.

"So i have something to say, while i am young and may not fully comprehend love, i know one thing, that in all the kunoichi's i've seen, scratch that, in all the women i have seen, it has only been Hinata-hime that has been able to interact with me wholeheartedly. So you might think it is far-fetched to call this love, but what can you understand? an adopted child of the hokage, a genius, a talent that has a chance to start a new clan. how many parent's wouldn't at least tell their child to be on good terms with me? But hinata-hime although was nervous at first, i never detected a hint of a lie. I am a child how could i detect lies? WRONG!. My bloodline abilities may have just awakened but the passive benefits have long been with me, i could sense the electricity within people, that makes me a sensor, when people lie i notice their electricity flow gets disturbed a little, this may be passed off due to nervousness, but i did research, i observed and observed. i got better at this power. and i can now detect lies from truths." Halfway through a lot of them already seemed to want to say something, when it came to the adopted part, a few of them let a little guilt show, when i said things about my bloodline they got hooked.

"And i one day asked hinata. 'Do you love me? Do you alone with no relation to your clan love me as i am?' What can i say i got a resounding yes within the no lies part when she said yes. I don't care test me if all you want but i want to let you know. i love hinata, if i can't get married to her, i will leave this village or kill myself, and i will not accept anyone that hinata doesn't approve off. come test me." Truth is i would push a little if i was truly interested but i wanted to keep up the 'Lonely Genius finding comfort'

After that was an intense session to see if my claims of lies and truths were tested. of course i waited for so long for the reveal because 1 for the epic factor and 2 to properly prepare and i think i may have let my otaku feelings from my past life escape from my speech a little. good think i was good at bullshitting, like that one guy said.
