What?
|]=| Host has gained Hidden Class [Sadist] |=[|
Once again, what?
Sadist? I'm not that cruel am I? System, what does [Sadist] even do?
[All points earned will be doubled and customization costs will be reduced.]
I blinked in shock at the screen above me. If this was true then any points I received would now increase immensely and any time I wanted to make something...
I just got a stable income, fuck yeah.
While those thoughts made their way into my head, I was suddenly interrupted by a small vial with a strange black liquid appearing within my clenched fist.
I gazed at the vial with confusion before recalling what the system said about the Awakening Potion and stared at it with narrowed eyes.
And how does this thing work? Will it be like a Wuxia where black shit comes out of my body?
[No impurity cleanse. After ingestion you will pass out and awaken once more with a random bloodline in your heritage awakened]
Hmm, I see.
There are still a few hours before the village wakes up, so I should eat this now and wake up in a few hours.
Following that train of thought, I popped the vial open and chugged the disgusting liquid.
Now, time to rest.
[Later on]
*Ping* *Ping* *Ping* *Ping*
I was shaken awake by the persistent sound of the system as it flashes a bright light in my face.
Groaning in annoyance, I rubbed my eyes and adjusted the body of the woman next to me as I sat straighter.
I swiped at the system, stopping the lights as I glanced at the notification, my eyes widening in shock as my jaw dropped.
[Hyuga Bloodline Awakened]
[Dojutsu [Byakugan] has been unlocked]
A Hyuga bloodline? Did being around Hanabi influence the outcome? Or is it something else?
This thing awakened a bloodline so deep in my heritage. But the question is, did the potion awaken the bloodline from being a descendant of Kaguya or did my biological father have some sort of distant relation to the Hyuga? If I even have a biological father to begin with.
The Kaguya theory seems to be the most plausible one.
Though, I suppose it doesn't matter as long as I get the Byakugan.
The moment that thought crossed my mind, I felt my eyes burn and the veins around them pop.
I gripped my forehead out of pain as the searing feeling in my eyes finally disappeared.
Wanting to see what my eyes looked like, I gently placed Hanabi on the bed as I walked towards the mirror, grabbing my pants on the way.
The instant I stepped into sight of the mirror I was happy to see my dark blue eyes replaced by a pair of pale lavender ones.
However, I suddenly felt an intense bolt of pain striking my left eye as the pale eye began to glow a bright whitish blue, the iris being overcome by a black color.
[Skill [Jougan] has been unsealed]
The Jougan had just bloomed in my left eye.
That was quite possibly the biggest surprise of the day.
I have to assume that the reason the Jougan decided to come out now is due to the awakening of the Hyuga Bloodline and, by proxy, a closer relation to the members of the Otsutsuki.
I turned to look at Hanabi in curiosity as my eyes scanned her body, her tenketsu and chakra flow visible to my bare eyes.
Amazing. 360-degree vision, visible tenketsu, visible chakra flow and the ability to see barriers between dimensions. This was a powerhouse setup.
But... am I able to shut these off?
[Yes. Cancel the chakra flow, they'll be hidden]
That's good. I could always transform but that would be cumbersome. For now, I should hide my eyes away.
I was basking in the feeling of joy, but I soon recalled that I had just completed all my missions.
'System... What do I do now that the main quests are gone?'
It didn't take long for me to get a response from the system.
[Nothing. Now, all that must be done is gain more DP and get stronger]
That's all, huh? Well, I can't deny that this news is slightly disappointing.
However, the more important thing is that I now have a grand total of 1000 DP which I could use to make basically anything.
Well, not anything, just one relatively powerful thing or multiple decently good things.
Though, I wouldn't do anything right now. All I need to do right now is settle things with Hanabi then head back
As soon as I finished that thought, I glanced to my right and saw Hanabi stirring awake, "Morning," I said as she just blinked at me, "What?" she questioned sleepily before shaking awake, "Wait, did we...?"
"I'd assume so. Unless I was imagining the whole thing," I said plainly as I grabbed a pair of water bottles, handing one to her as she began to chug it down, "Ugh, what's Naruko gonna think? Didn't she like you?" She asked with a regretful expression as I raised a brow, "Well, she's not gonna be thinking anything. It's not like she has to know, right?" I said as she had a surprised expression. She hadn't thought to lie to her friend, rather, she didn't want to think of such a thing.
"I mean, I guess not..." She agreed hesitantly, leaning on her side as I handed her clothes to her, "Thanks," She muttered as she began to clothe herself.
I nodded at her words and rose from my seat, "Get dressed, for now. I've got to deal with something," I said, making my way to the bathroom.
I could see her covering herself out of the corner of my eye as I entered the washroom.
I faced the mirror with an inquisitive expression as I was greeted with the face of my older transformation.
It had lasted throughout the time of us having sex and even until now. the fact that it lasted throughout the night was impressive.
I had to keep a note of that. If my transformation doesn't stray too far from my original appearance, it would last much longer and remain intact.
I mean, I already knew that but this amount of resilience was rather abnormal.
Though, I had begun to notice a few cracks like how one of my fingers was smaller than the rest.
I came in here to reapply the jutsu. Just until I got home, at least.
With that thought in mind, I used the jutsu again, masking my chakra as I exited the bathroom to the Hyuga sitting on the side of the bed.
"Let's go," I said as she followed me out of the hotel rooms.
I had paid for the room using some pickpocketed money so it was no skin off my back.
Along the way, I caught Hanabi giving me strange glances, but I simply ignored them.
It took a few minutes of walking but the two of us eventually neared close to the Hyuga's land. I didn't want to get too close, though, so I just let her off with a wave, telling her that we'd eventually meet up once again and to keep me in mind as I turned away, making my way into the crowded streets of Konoha.
I would eventually come back for Hanabi once more, but for now, there were more important matters.
I had previously intended to head home for now, but I was surprised to pass by a small outdoor bar and see a group of two heads that seemed vaguely familiar.
Curious, I walked over to them and spotted a woman dressed in jounin gear in the middle who had long brown hair with a larger fringe next to her blue right eye.
However, the most notable part of her appearance was the blue scarf wrapped around her slim neck. I looked further past her and also noticed a ginger girl with a rather strange, but recognizable, hairstyle.
Konohamaru and Moegi.
As I realized who they were, I subtly dissipated my transformation and approached the two, "Big sis Konohamaru!" I called out as the brown-haired woman leaned back to get a look at who called out for her, "Hey, Akuto!" She replied after recognizing her friend's son, "What's up?"
"Nothing. Just happened to see you while passing by," I said as I sat down next to Konohamaru.
Konohamaru nodded at the words as an expression of realization crossed her face, "Ah! This is Moegi, my friend," She introduced as Moegi waved with a smile, "Hi, Akuto!"
"Nice to meet you," I reciprocated the greeting as Konohamaru spoke, "So do you need anything or are you just here to hang out?"
I didn't respond immediately as I thought about it for a moment before an idea suddenly struck me, "Actually..."
"I might need your help with something," I said as Konohamaru turned to me with confusion, "Sure... What do you need?"
I stayed silent as Konohamaru caught the slight glance in Moegi's direction, understanding the gesture, "Sorry Moegi, but I should probably help Akuto with what he needs," She said with an apologetic expression as Moegi spoke, "It's really no problem at all. Besides it's not like we can't do this another time," She said with a face of acceptance as I and Konohamaru left the place, "Thanks, Moegi!"
Konohamaru looked confused as I lead the way into my favourite spot in the woods.
It took a few minutes but we eventually got to my training spot as Konohmaru turned to me with an inquiring look, "So what did you need?" She said as I looked at her with a serious expression as I spoke.
"Teach me the Rasengan," I said plainly as Konohamaru's eyes widened in surprise, "What? Why?" She asked confusedly as I let out a sigh, "Because I'm weak, very weak, and I know that I can get much stronger with access to a jutsu like that," I explained sincerely as Konohamaru considered it.
She silently looked at me for a few seconds before reluctantly speaking, "It's a really difficult jutsu, you know. Are you sure you want to learn?" She questioned as I quickly responded, "Of course. I'll do anything necessary."
She held an irritated expression, "Alright, I'll teach you. Just wait here while I grab something," She said as she jumped away, leaving me behind with a smile on my face.
I didn't need her.
I already knew the Rasengan steps; rotation, power, and compression.
But she would serve as a good excuse for how I know the Rasengan at all.
When I was younger I had attempted to learn the jutsu, but I soon learned that at that young of an age, chakra was very difficult to use, so I could never learn the Rasengan on its own since it required borderline masterful chakra control, which wouldn't be possible until I reached a certain age.
That's not even mentioning the fact that I was also never able to even practice much since anytime my chakra would get too concentrated with a jutsu like that, Naruko would sense it and come ask me what happened. Any time she thought I was in any danger she would come running. It was incredibly annoying and limiting.
I didn't ask Naruko to teach me either since even getting her to let me do anything remotely within the realm of "dangerous" was perceived as being a threat to my oh-so-weak self. And holding the power of the Rasengan apparently put an automatic target on my back... which kind of made sense...
It was no secret that if someone were to kidnap a "weak" person with knowledge of the Rasengan, they would do anything to learn that power, even torture the person who held the previously mentioned knowledge.
Overall, I absolutely despised those years of my life.
A few seconds of silence passed as Konohamaru soon came back with a couple of balls in her hand, "Okay, Let's get this started! The first step to learning the Rasengan is..."
And so, my training began.
|]=====[|
*POP*
"Finally! It took you long enough," Konohamaru mocked as I sat in frustration.
Once again, my lack of talent was on display.
This was the first step. The first step... and my control was so unfocused that we were out here for almost the entire night doing this shit.
Now, that wouldn't be that bad, normally, when compared to how it took 3 days for canon Naruto to do it... However, the problem lies in the fact that it only took him that long due to not knowing how to move his chakra. I, on the other hand, did know and still took the entire night. That's not even mentioning all the breaks I had to take to recover my chakra, unlike canon Naruto who had so much chakra he could just keep on practicing.
It's not like I hadn't trained my chakra control. I did the leaf and tree climbing exercises when I was younger and I did the water one in secret by letting my feet hang over water.
It made absolutely no sense, but it would seem that I had shit chakra control for some reason.
"You are an absolute riot, Konohamaru, why don't you become a comedian?" I said with annoyance clear on my face as she responded, ignoring what I had just said, "It's getting late. I'll teach you how to do the next step and give you the ball so you can practice, but it's about time we both head home," She said as she handed me a couple rubber balls.
"Thanks. I'll see you tomorrow," I muttered as she left the forest with a wave, leaving me to my own devices.
I simply lay on the grass silently as I finally came to a decision.
I knew what to spend my points on.
