13 Growing Up
8 years later
*Asura's POV*
"Oi, Inosuke get my pelt. We'll leave in an hour." I said while tying my shoes or well what can be considered shoes. It's more like a piece of cloth on the base of my foot held together by a small string.
"Woof!!" I was startled by the white wolf appearing at my side.
"You'll kill me someday by your sneakiness." I said as I petted Fenris's head.
It's been 8 years since I found Fenris and Cerberus. Most of the time during these years was spent training. Well it's not like I have a PS5 lying around the mountain just ready to be plugged in and neither do I have an internet connection.
At least Puberty hasn't come yet. That's one witch waiting to come knocking on my door.
Anyway Here's my status:
[ Name: Asura Hashibira
Age : 13 years 7 months
STR : 75
DEX : 65
STM : 100
Ki : 60]
[ Ki: It's required for strengthening and hardening the body among other uses. Other uses will be revealed after 'Battle Forms' has been unlocked ]
[ Skills:
Drake's Jaws: Level 2
Dragon Breathing: Level 2
Exp: 9/100
Wolf Breathing: Level 2
Exp: 2/100
Beast Nose : Level 2
Exp: 57/100]
[ Battle Forms: Locked
Inventory : 10kg/500kg
Description: A personal space pocket which allows the user to store any Nonsentinent mass without any signs of rotting or Decomposition.]
Don't ask how I found out about the Nonsentinent part. Let's just say that a lot of rabbits lost their lives for my research. I single handedly brought down the rabbit population on this mountain by 20% but considering how fast those little balls of fur multiply it wasn't a problem.
I was now more than 7 times stronger than an ordinary adult and my dexterity and stamina were through the roof at least compared to normal people.
But still the only reason I got these strengths was because of my breath training. Dragon Breathing directly affected my strength while Wolf Breathing did the same for my Dexterity. They both affected my STM as far as Ki and INT was concerned those only grow by themselves. I still haven't found a way to increase them.
Inosuke was also quite powerful now and I had personally asked him to keep his air sensing abilities always on and try his best to feel his surroundings constantly.
We both still couldn't do total concentration breathing 'constantly' as we usually stopped an hour after sleeping. It was a pain to try and maintain those Breathing Patterns subconsciously. It's like trying to carve something into your bones but instead of ink to write you use pain and tears. We were still getting better at it.
The only other noteworthy thing that happened during this time was the finding of Blue spider Lily. Yes I found them. They could be considered the most important thing I found since I came to this world.
[Author Note: I'll probably do a side chapter explaining this quest.]
The flowers were a pain in the ass to find. They were somehow stuck on a mountain's tip. Literally they grew around a mountain's tip surrounding it like some blue headlights.
The Blue spider Lily only bloomed for 3 days every 7 years. The flowers were somehow eaten by the animals on the mountain which explains their wierd body colors and abnormal strength. Some animals eat them and then other predators eat them thus bringing the Flower's powers into the ecosystem up the food chain.
It was only because of my inventory that I had been able to preserve those flowers without them dying on me.
I now had around 20 petals of the legendary flower.
'What would Muzan give to get a single one.' I thought as I creepily chuckled. I quite liked the idea of the eternal fuckward that was Muzan Kibutsuji spewing out blood due to anger.

" Here's your pelt Nii San." Inosuke said as he gave me my white wolf pelt.
Inosuke now looked a lot more like Canon. After the boar family head died Inosuke fought and easily won his hide. The boars truly respected him and treated him like Family. Well it was more like they respected his strength.
The same goes for me and the Pack. Although Fenris and Cerberus could easily defeat the Alpha pair they never fought with them. It was somehow beneath them to fight for something like a position. The Pack treated them and me as Family so we were happy to contribute whatever we could whenever we could.
Inosuke now had his Canon boar mask on his face and was wearing simple blue pants.
I on the other hand had my back covered with my White wolf pelt. My eyes shining as I was visibly excited for finally getting off the damm mountain.
I did love it here but nothing could get my blood boiling like experiencing this amazing world first hand.
Of course I was also wearing blue pants with stripes on them and also had my hair tied in a simple bun. I sometimes let it loose and then it came around my shoulders in length. I'll probably try to grow it out a bit.
I had already bid farewell to the wolf pack and promised them that I'll return to visit sometimes.
These mountains were crucial to my plan. So it's not like I was gonna forget about them.
Me and Inosuke sometimes descended the mountain to visit an old grandpa who lived in a shack near the base of the mountain.
He taught Inosuke how to read and write while I on the other hand asked him about our location and other general information.
He didn't have any other family and was kind hearted. I still remember Inosuke poking his face and saying 'This old hag looks weak.' . Well that earned him a well deserved smack on the head from Gramps
Inosuke was a lot more well mannered than in canon and I will take full credit for that.
Whenever Inosuke tried or did something bad I told him that I won't train with him and he almost instantaneously stopped whatever he was doing every time.
Inosuke was skeptical about leaving the mountain at first but as soon as I told him that he'll get to fight strong people he was more than ready.
*Exposition no Jutsu End*
Inosuke whistled to call Cerberus. The black wolf somehow never liked to leave Inosuke for too long and the same went for Inosuke.
They both were practically impossible to seperate and never went more than 50 meters away from each other.
I for one was happy to see Inosuke getting along with other life forms.
Fenris on the other hand was a lot more understanding. He was also one of the beings which had his DNA altered by the Blue spider Lily. The same most likely went for Cerberus but it wasn't like I had a science lab to test their genes or something.
Both Fenris and Cerberus were stronger and more intelligent than the other Wolves and somehow understood complex human speech and I was sure that the Blue spider Lily had something to do with it.
I mean where would you find wolves that blush when talking to female wolves.
{ Authors Note: I know I'm kinda obsessed with wolves and dogs in general. It's just that I'm never gonna be allowed to have one. So please kindly accept the immense doggo love flowing in my veins.
*Proceeds to kowtow to Heaven and Earth*}
"Well let's just get out of the mountain. We need to reach the base before dusk." I said as we started our journey down the mountain we called home for the last 13 years of our lives.
*2 hours later*
" Phew finally we can breathe better. " Inosuke said while sighing in relief. The air on the mountain was quite thin and despite us being adjusted to it it still felt better to breathe at Normal human levels.
"Let's stay at Gramps house for the night Inosuke. "
I said as I started walking towards the old shack.
' Why do I have a bad feeling about this. ' I had something similar to a sixth sense due to my Wolf Breathing. Nothing like seeing in the future but it was more like my instincts were heightened.
I suddenly smelled an all too familiar Smell . A smell that I can never seem to forget. It was blood.
' Those fucking demons' I thought as I started running full speed towards the shack.
I was sure that it was a demon because I could also smell an extremely ghastly smell mixed with the smell of blood. Also there was no other human settlement for miles.
" Inosuke get the metal pieces. . Cerberus guard Inosuke. Fenris come with me." I said as Inosuke threw the metal shards at me and I immediately stored them in my Inventory.
The sun was already hidden behind the mountains and I could see the stars twinkling In the night sky.
' This is gonna be a long night.'
