Chapter 4:NinTekken

"Are you ok?" Akiko asked, her eyes a little worried.

Picking Akane up from the ground, she lightly pressed her right hand on her liver and cradled Akane's head inside her left arm.

Akane flinched and shuddered before remembering how to breathe again.

She nodded to her sister and tried to regain control over her breathing before standing up. Although she faltered for a moment she still managed to fully stand on her own.

Yep, that's right, those three powerful strikes to her liver could have floored a professional fighter, or placed an adult man in the hospital. Was just shrugged off by a Nine-year-old girl and merely winded her.

/No matter how many times I see it, this fucking recovery speed and anti-shock ability amazes me to no end! Although her speed and dexterity lag in a fight, Akanes strength and durability more than make up for it./ I complain in my mind while seeing Akane stand back up.

"I'm fine... Just. A little winded. Damn Kekkai, you didn't have to hit me so hard!" Akane scolded while wheezing a little to catch her breath.

"I guess you shouldn't have put on that turtle shell of yours. You know he doesn't hold back his punches when you use Jutsu like that." Akiko states while raising an eyebrow.

And I didn't, just because I can power through Earth Chakra with focused power strikes and use momentum to dissipate her concentration to maintain it.

Earth style is as hard as the name entails, it feels like punching bricks! Though I go to extremes to condition my body and mental fortitude(I have these two go through the same training, although not as torturous as mine), This body is Five years old and has a limited amount of training.

So It still fucking Hurts!

He was a fitness enthusiast and also had a terrific amount of Martial Arts training. Kick-Boxing, Muay Thai, and Kenpo. All of which he generously shared and exchanged with his cousins.

Akane is much stronger and more durable than me even in her regular state. Although she had moderate chakra reserves, she had trouble with explosive speed and flexibility. But I helped her circumvent these weaknesses by having her play to her strengths and gave her extended tactics education and conditioning exercises. I also taught her a couple of movements that used swords, staffs, and spears paired with shields.

/It seems that these brats do have a couple of attainments. Although his taijutsu is interesting, it's still too weak and slow! Relying on raw force and technique without having Chakra reinforce it will end up devastating his body when he comes across real opponents. He won't even hold up against young yokai with just that./ Ryū noted in his thoughts as he continues to observe.

After Akiko picked up Akane she reached down and retrieved her weapons from the ground.

"I'll take point this time. Help me contain him so he won't have any breathing room. I'm going to use 'that' technique but I don't have many chakras to use it, so make sure to trap him when it lands!"

"Got it!" Akane nodded and smiled confidently while retrieving her equipment from the floor as well.

Without any delay, Akane rushed forward, with Bigaku and Akachan following closely behind her.

/Here we go./ I thought and tightened up a little.

Swinging her Kusurigama in tight rotations, Akiko rushed till she was 3 meters away before pivoting sideways and shooting the weapon Hammer first at me.

Easily sidestepping the attack, I kept my distance from my cousin warily. Although I don't know what she had planned I would rather focus on her companions first.

Keeping an eye out for the two, I dragged my feet and waited patiently for them to begin their assault. And I didn't need to wait long because Akiko tied the Kusuragama to her arm and began to seal quickly.

/Kia-Pyo-Zen-Sha-Jin-Toh/ Akiko whispered in her mind, concentrating on letting her chakra flow and gather through the newly registered path as she performed each seal.

/Wait what?!/ I looked at her hand seals in confusion.

/What's this?/ Ryū also looked at Akiko in confusion. This set of seals is not within the Jutsu taught in the clan and is not even registered in the technique library as well.

Just when I was tempted to try and interrupt this new Jutsu that she was preparing, Akane arrived at her side and stood guard.

Glaring at me, she looked at her two Chi-Tori and whistled.

*Phwwt*!

Bakuga and Akachan screeched and ran forward, I could only take my eyes away from Akiko to deal with them.

Backing off to the right I snapped a back kick at the leaping Bakuga, sending her back to the ground once again with a whimper but I ended up leaving my side open and got knocked down by the following Akachan.

Stretching herself, she started beating at me with her stubby legs and wings. Snapping at my hair she started pecking me as well.

/Get off me you big dumb bird! Well, I should be glad she isn't using her talons./ I growled while prying my hair from her tugging beak.

I quickly gathered myself and gave the naughty bird a quick jab to her chest and grabbed her shoulder.

Taking the floor as leverage, I kicked to the side of the ground and pulled Akachan with me, taking her into a roll with momentum.

Off the roll, I finished with a rotating shoulder throw and slammed the 60-pound bird into the ground hard, back first.

Akachan could only spasm on the ground with a sad cry of pain, her eyes leaking tears while looking at me.

/Sorry girl, I can't lose this./ I apologized silently in my head before I turned back to Akiko and Akane.

At this time Akiko had finished gathering chakra and clapped her hands together on the final seal.

"[Shuiton-NinTekken: Sedna's Cloak!]" She let out a small cute cry, a slight ring sounded and then her body let off a slight blue glow visible to the naked eye.

"NINTEKKEN! Are you fucking kidding me!" I screamed before taking a few steps back and watching her with fear and horror as I watched her shining body.

/Good, nice technique! It can also manifest in such quantity as well! And she's only five, What a genius!/ Ryū grinned and was close to laughing giddily as he watched her shimmering body.

You should know that usually if it's not within physical transformation or in abundance, chakra is invisible to the naked eye.

For Akiko to manage this amount of Chakra at this age is impressive. Many people try and fail to refine chakra at this age and she had already refined a hefty amount of it.

Except this is not the reason I was horrified, I had already known about her chakra reserves that were even above her sisters as well as control.

What I was worried about was the words 'NinTekken', this is a technique that I had come up with ever since I arrived here and had been experimenting with since I got here.

Taking inspiration from fighting games like Streetfighter, I hoped that the boost in fitness in this world would allow me to Qi or some equivalent of it.

Though I do hate to admit it, I was a little scared about the chakra as a whole and wanted to have something else to rely on besides the Otsutsuki's main dish of the El' Chakra un' Lifeforce buffet.

To my sadness and disappointment, I had failed to do anything of the sort despite trying countless times, even doing actions that I count as courting death to see if I could manage to achieve it.

I handed my ideas for Tekken Style combat to these two as well. Thinking it would help their creativity and imagination if they had a framework to work off of.

But this girl did it! She managed to pull it off! Though I suspect she must have cheated and used chakra as a fill-in for chi. This genius girl pulled off what I couldn't!

/I shouldn't be surprised, she managed to learn every grade school to high school level subject that I threw at her in a year! A year! Who is the transmigrated here? You or me?/ I complained unwillingly and jealously in my mind.

"How did you manage to do it? When did you manage to do it?!" I asked her hoarsely, my jealousy leaking through my word as I looked at her enviously.

"I finished it over the winter. It's rough but it will do, I told you that I've been working hard over the winter!" Akiko admitted with a smug smile on her face.

/A new technique? She made something like that?/ Ryū opened his eyes wide while watching, scratching at his beard in confusion and anticipation.

"As for how I did it? Hehe, a girl never reveals her secrets!" She denied me solace with a wink and an annoying small giggle.

While she said this she brought her hand to her face in amazement. Though she didn't say it, this was the first time she managed to pull this stunt off.

Feeling the adrenaline pumping through her small chest, the cool tingling sensation of clarity in all of her mind and body, the soft flow resting against her skin, she was amazed at the wonderful technique that her cousin had taught her.

/How does he manage to come up with these things, his brain is way too freaky! But now that I managed to complete this technique, I'll forgive him for tricking me after a slight beating!/ The girl was like a peacock, puffing her chest out with pride as she marveled at the technique before looking at me with wolfish eyes.

"Oh shit," I whispered, picking my stance back up and bracing myself for whatever she would through at me.

Akiko just grinned at my stance, and without another word, she pushed forward, Bursting boldly from her sister's side, at amazing speed.

However, on her 3rd stride, an accident occurred. As if she had stepped on black ice, her feet began to slip and slide along the ground, making her wobble and wiggle as she tried and failed to regain her footing.

Sliding in a completely different direction, Akiko fell face-first in a classic downward dog stance.

Silence filled the air and crickets(I don't know where they came from) started chirping, everyone looked at the prone Akiko dumbfounded.

I blinked once, twice, three times. I stood there, stiff as a statue, Incapable of the ability to register what just happened.

One moment Akiko had all the confidence in the world, a brand new technique that filled her with potent power and she was ready to unleash it, and the next moment she was embarrassingly planted onto the ground.

The image of the prone Akiko still didn't change after I blinked repeatedly, Ryū began to look away in embarrassment, and Akane facepalmed and looked away in half embarrassment and half amusement.

Even Bakuga was looking at her mistress in confused distress, chirping softly before walking to her and nudging her head, not knowing why she had fallen.

"Hehe, Hehahahaha!" I couldn't help it anymore I started snickering before full out bursting with laughter. I practically couldn't breathe and fell on my backside as I clutched my sides.

Following my gut-bursting laughter, Akane soon followed as well, no longer able to keep appearances and regain some dignity for her sister as she also giggled uncontrollably.

Slowly raising herself from the ground, Akiko's ace skin had turned a deep shade of red, her expression looking uncomfortable to the extreme when she looked up and saw the two of us on the ground laughing, her cheeks puffed out and steam practically whistled from her ears in her embarrassment.

Slowly getting up, she stabilized herself upright and dusted off her clothes as if nothing happened. This made me and Akane give another burst of laughter.

"Hahahaa, what-, what happened Akiko, I was scared for a moment there, thinking that you had managed to learn something even I couldn't learn, but it seems you still don't have a handle on it," I smirked at her

*Clench*

Akiko clenched her fists in irritation and embarrassment before turning to glare at her sister, who was still laughing on the floor.

"Get UP! I just misjudged how slippery it was, I wasn't hurt at all! This time I'll get it right!" She barked

She wasn't hurt, there was a film of energy covering her body and dulling the impact, it's just that she underestimated the lack of friction that this technique imbued into her body.

/I'll just have to adjust the friction on the fly and use the appropriate amount of force. Or I can try this!/ Akiko thought about the drawbacks before adjusting a small layer of chakra around her feet and taking a runner's stance.

"Oh come on Akiko, I've taught you everything you know. You can't beat me with that half-finished Jutsu!" I chuckled and relaxed my tension while looking at her.

"That's true! You did teach me a lot." Akiko admitted, but the next second she disappeared from her place.

I blinked.

"But now that I've improved on all of it, I'm still going to beat you, you big stupid meanie!" A chilling voice said coldly from behind me.

/Oh, fuck me!/ I thought

*WHAPOW*

And that's all I could do because the next moment Akiko sent a screaming whip lash kick that sank into my waist, knocking the air out of me and sending me flying close to 4 meters away with that single blow.

"Is that Shunkuchi?! How is that possible?" yelled Ryū Mēkā, as his huge frame immediately jumped up from its cross-legged position, his eyes bulging in astonishment.

/Fucking old man! Are you not worried about me?/ I almost passed out from anger rather than the kick when he cried out this.

*Cough*

*Cough*

*Cough*

/I just laughed a bit, you didn't need to kick me so hard!/ I grimaced as I rolled on the floor.

I lay there on the ground wheezing as I tried to capture my breath, after a few seconds I sat up, caressing my sore side while looking for the grudge-holding girl.

"Looking for me?" Akiko asked amusedly from my back again.

"Mercy?" I immediately asked without turning around.

"Nope! You shouldn't laugh at a young maiden!" Akiko denied lightly with a little merriment returning to her voice.

A small fist flew at the back of my head, but this time I reacted fast, rocking forward I bent my body over my abdomen dodging the fist.

Falling into a handstand I performed a tight flip kick, landing it on her shoulder.

Or at least it should have, because when I made contact. A weird grease-like feeling spread instead of the feeling of landing a blow, and my foot simply rolled off of her body.

"What?!" I gasped as I was sent off balance.

"Surprise!" She declared before dropping into a spinning low kick, knocking my arms from underneath me before grabbing my training robe and pulling me into an over-the-head shoulder throw, making me fly like a ragdoll through the air.

"Woahh! Oh crap," I flailed my arms wildly as the wind rushed through my ears and gravity began to take hold again.

*Oof*

I hit the ground rolling, although it was a sloppy roll and I hit my head on the floor and dizziness flooded into my head.

Seeing that Akiko had disappeared again I gritted my teeth and shook off my dizziness as I planted my feet on the ground. Tensing up I gathered myself before releasing, I twisted my stance to a single leg and thrust a vicious back kick into space behind me.

"Didn't I teach you never to pull the same trick twice?!" I growled as I sent trying to reorient myself.

/It slid off again. What the hell is this / I noted calmly unlike my irritated visage.

This blow had more connection than the last but still had that same oily disgusting texture to it that bothered me to no end.

Akiko slid close to 5 meters backward under the blow as if she was sliding on ice, looking at her arms for a second before shaking them.

/Yep it didn't connect, whatever Jutsu this is, it seems that it boosts either her flexibility and dexterity so that she notices the attacks before they land or boosts her ability to absorb and disperse shock and blunt attacks./ I analyzed carefully.

"Of course you did. But you also said when fighting, if it's not broken don't fix it. And it looks like you can't break it at all." Akiko states with a grin.

"Go ahead and try it one more time and see if I don't shatter it with a single blow," I growled while bouncing up and down, switching my legs back and forth. My fists once again raised to my sides.

/You and your sister love your turtle shells so much, sinking into them comfortably, let's see how you will deal with this./ I scoffed

"I'm coming. Watch your back." Akiko exclaimed, disappearing again.

/Left side./ I predicted before I immediately sent a low kick to the left.

"Eh?" Akiko gasped in surprise as her legs were swept from underneath her.

"Take this, [Fist of Love]!" I shouted before sending a right cross into the airborne girl.

*Bang*

Akiko went flying back, but she still recovered and twisted in midair to land on her feet.

/It's a cloak, her chakra is kind of like running water, it runs along her skin and disperses the damage to the air or around her.

"How did you do that? Can you react to even this?!" Akiko who landed urged, astonished.

"That's a secret." I winced at her with a smirk.

"Hmph." Akiko pouted

/I have to finish this quickly, it takes too much chakra to maintain this. And this guy won't go down easily./ Akane grimaced while feeling her stamina drop at an alarming rate.

"Let's finish this quickly, grandpa still needs to get through our geography lessons." Akiko offered

"It's only been a few minutes. What? Are you tired already?" I inquired deliberately.

Techniques like this are draining when it comes to chakra, Akiko does have monstrous control and reserves even at a young age but just initiating this Jutsu must have taken close to half of her reserves.

/And whatever instant technique she's using has to be draining just as much. She might just drop from Chakra Exhaustion in 10 moves if she keeps it up./ I expected

And lo and behold, this was exactly correct if she didn't dismiss the cloak she would be down for the count in 5 moves.

"Are you sure you don't want to discuss this?" Akiko slyly bargained

"Not a chance." I denied

"Guess the negotiations have broken down." Akiko sighed half-heartedly.

*Swish*

A rush of wind came as Akane stabbed her spear once again from behind me.

"You gotta be quicker than that." I mocked while sidestepping once again the sneak attacker Akane.

"If you're going to sneak up on someone, either step lighter or make sure their attention is completely distracted." I continued to lecture

"Mom says that not everyone is a monster like you with eyes on the back of his head," Akane growled in obvious discomfort and distress at her failed attack.

Taking her spear back before thrusting it at me repeatedly, she worked hard as the wind dragged behind gusts from the whistling blows.

I of course dodged every one of them easily by ducking and weaving.

/It's still absurd that all this strength is backed by little to no Chakra, I still fail to see how the hell this works. It should be the greater your physical potential the more chakra you can refine. And she has excellent Chakra control as well, so it's not her mental power in the way./ I mused as I dodged the blows.

Akane has minuscule if not close to no Chakra reserves compared to Akiko. But she made up for it in massive explosive strength, not even I dared to take many of her attacks head-on, I'd go numb from the third blow.

When training I had given her So she tried to take the one-hit assassin route of min-maxing, which I think is an obvious waste of her tough and resilient physique.

She should take on the role of a Tank and warrior. but the response she had from developing muscles early on in my training. I refrained from offering it to her again and revised her routine after she refused to talk to me for over a month.

Failing to land anything made her face twist a little, shifting her grip, she turned her short spear into a staff and began making long sweeping strikes.

"You shouldn't have done that," I muttered and leaped over a sweeping ground strike and drop-kicked her in the chest while she was unguarded.

Losing her footing, she tried to rebalance herself using her spear while I fell to the ground.

"And you shouldn't have done that!" Akiko exclaimed triumphantly as she had already reclaimed her discarded Kusurigama and closed the distance quickly.

Rolling to avoid the literal hammer from heaven, I scissor-cut my legs and knocked down Akane who was regaining her balance.

Bakuga who was silent on the side growled and lashed out at this time.

This time, however, she didn't snap and try to leap onto me and knock me down, instead, she reached and snapped her beak at the back of my shirt and dragged me from there.

/It's not fair! How am I expected to be fighting 5 on 1 and win? And not only do they have the advantage of numbers, but they are also going all out with Chakra as well!/ I complained while trying to rip away from the thrashing Chi-Tori.

*Shrnnnrnk*

The rattling of chains sounded again as Akiko's sickle finally met its mark.

I flinched a little as the blade made a long scratch across my arm before wrapping itself around it.

"Got you! Good girl, Bakugo! Drop!" Akiko ordered.

With her order, Bakugo immediately released her bite and backed away hurriedly.

Meanwhile, I fought with the chains and tried to release their grip on me.

"Uh uh, where do you think you're going!" Akiko grinned and tightened her grip on the Kusurigama and pulled.

I flinched as the chains dug deeper into an open wound, growling at her I gripped the chain and tried to pull it towards me to off-balance her.

Sadly, I didn't get the chance to do so because a whistling wind sounded from the side as the always-sneaking Akane blindsided me with a swing of her spear.

*CRREAAACK*

Like her spear was a bat and my body was a ball, she walloped me hard enough to break the spear shaft and send me flying.

/My Arm is broken./ I could only acknowledge in despair as I felt pain shooting up the arm I used to guard my side.

Akiko didn't even let me reach the ground this time. She used her chain as a guide and vanished once again before appearing where I was landing and kicking me again into the air, and again, and again.

/I swear this ogre girl is trying to kill me./ I remarked cloudily, I really couldn't stand the pain and was essentially close to passing out.

I believe that she had already broken or sprained at the least, my shoulder, arm, and leg. I also think I have a concussion or at least internal bleeding from these three kicks.

"Akane! Catch!" She called out before kicking me into her sister.

Who was already prepared and sealed quickly?

"Sha-Toh-Retsu-Sha-Zen-Rin-Jin-Kai" Akane sealed before slamming her hand onto the ground and pouring chakra into it.

"[Doton: Clay Prison]!" She cried out

The stone stage started to quiver before expanding into a small hill of mud-like substance in front of Akane.

And I could only register myself smashing into it, dulling the impact as if landing on a nice soft pillow, the substance making way until I sank in it with only my head and arms showing.

"[Doton: HARDEN]" Akane sealed once again

The substance instantly hardened, trapping me inside like I was an embedded dinosaur fossil.

/Welp, this sucks./ I groaned.
