8 Years Later

(Hey, sorry for skipping so far ahead, but younger years are boring af. After this the pace will slow down.)

*Thwak* *Bang* Crack!*

The sounds of bodies being bruised and battered ring throughout the courtyard of the Hyuga Main House. thirteen-year-old Zenoshiki ducks, weaves and spins avoiding the strikes of six chunin and genin-level teen Hyuga.

The veins in Zeno's eyes clearly show his use of the Byakugan. After only a few moments of utilizing the gentle fist technique, Zeno changes his stance, a strange smile stretching on his face revealing his sharp teeth.

Seeing this, the Hyuga all grit their teeth beads of sweat dripping down their faces. Sharing a quick glance, they all nod before blitzing in trying to close the distance as fast as possible. However, they are too slow.

Swiftly changing his stance, Zenoshiki bursts forward towards the nearest opponent. Quickly unleashing a flurry of strikes, the boy, who appears around 15, tries to defend himself, but Zeno's hands begin sparking.

"Shit!" The boy groans as the strike, as soon as they land, explode sending him crashing backward his arms and stomach on fire from where he was struck.

Seeing their friend get blasted away, they quickly prepare themselves, getting ready to defend themselves... The moment Zeno blasts his first target away, his feet spark. Using his explosions, he blasts off the ground high into the air, flipping. The moment he faces downwards, using his explosion technique, he causes two explosions from his feet hurdling him into another opponent.

During these past years, this is the skill that Zeno has spent all of his extra time on. [Explosion Style Footwork: Blast Step.]

Using Blast Step, he is capable of flying through the air and increasing his speed. He is also able to move in ways that would normally be impossible.

Seeing Zeno approaching quickly, the boy raises his fists and launches a strike toward Zeno. Using Blast Step, Zeno swerves around to the left of the Hyuga boy. Spinning, he launches a powerful kick into the Huga's side. The Hyuga boy grasps his side gritting his teeth as he collapses to the ground in pain.

Turning to the four remaining opponents, Zenoshiki returns to the ground. Blast Step is an incredible technique, however, it is often extremely difficult to control while focusing on other things, as one mistake can leave him in a fatal situation.

Zeno slowly begins walking forwards. The four remaining Huga all take defensive stances. Seeing this, Zenoshiki runs forwards. Upon reaching his targets, Zeno jumps directly into the first two.

Seeing this the other two sweep around surrounding Zeno. Twirling and spinning, Zeno manages to perfectly deflect and block the many strikes that are sent his way. In between the few moments that Zeno has from blocking, his palm suddenly shoots outwards striking one pressure point on his opponent.

After only a minute two of them collapse to the ground groaning as many of their limbs are disabled by Zenoshiki's Gentle Fist technique.

The remaining two leap back before raising their hands. As they do, the eldest of the two remaining Huyga steps forward, "There is no point in continuing Zeno. We lost."

Zeno shrugs, "Alright, thanks for helping me practice."

The two nod their heads as they walk over to the others helping them stand...

As they do so, Zeno turns to face a familiar figure. "Tobias, why do you refuse to spar with me? All of these other kids, while skilled, simply aren't a match for me."

Tobias sighs as he looks down at Zenoshiki. Thanks to the young boy's eagerness to become stronger, the albino little monster in front of him forced Tobias to become his teacher. Tobias had tried to refuse, but once he had.... Explosions began outside of his personal flat... And they went on all night long for weeks.

"Because you brat, I have to meet my girlfriend right after this, and I would rather not go on my date while smelling like smoke and sweat." He scowls.

Zenoshiki chuckles, "Which girl is it this time? Is it still that Amelia girl?"

"No. Amelia and I didn't click. I met this one on my last mission. Her name is Amari Nara. She's from the Nara clan."

"Well, I don't believe it. It's not like you just told me her last name."

Hearing the sarcasm in the boy's voice, Tobias smacks the boy. "Dam brat. At least my girlfriend's name isn't two numbers thrown together."

"I think it is unique. Besides, she isn't my girlfriend yet." Zeno mutters the last part.

"Oh? Still haven't worked out the guts to ask her? And I thought I was the one who needed relationship advice." Tobias mocks.

"Fuck you."

"Hey! Where did you learn that language from? You know if people hear one of the two Hyuga family prodigies speaking with such a dirty mouth, Hiashi will be pissed."

"From you. The former prodigy of the village! Oh wait, that was Itachi, you lack the skills to slaughter your entire clan even if you wanted to."

Tobias's mouth drops open at the boy's words. "First, fuck you. Second, that is not okay to say!"

"He. You asked for it." Zeno smirks revealing his sharp teeth.

After these eight years, the now 12-year-old Zenoshiki stands at a height of 5ft6" and weighs 116llbs. His long white silky hair now falls to his waist, and his yellow eyes radiate an eerie glow. His horns in the front of his head have reached a full 6" in length, and the others circling his head are all at 4" in length.

"Tch. Why bother using weapons? Your mouth and head are full of them." Tobias smirks.

"That's what I am saying! But the Academy seems so stringent on making me learn a weapon."

"Oh yeah. What did you decide on by the way?"

"I decided to learn the glaive."

"Glaive? That's an interesting choice. I haven't heard of anyone using one of those in a while."

"Yeah. I don't know. I just thought it would pair well with my explosion Kekki Genkai."

As the two continue talking, a voice comes from over the wall to their left, from the direction of the street. "Hey, Zeni! Are you done training yet? I'm bored."

The feminine and whiny voice that comes over the wall makes Zeno subconsciously smile.

"I'll be right over Tenten." He shouts back.

Turning to Tobias, he jokingly salutes, "See you later Sensei."

With that, using Blast Step, Zeno leaps over the wall. Upon landing on the other side, he turns to face Tenten. The girl has long chestnut brown hair, which is tied up in twin buns. She is around 5ft tall with a slightly round adorable face.

Seeing the girl's bright smile, Zeno rubs the back of his head embarrassed. "Hey, Tenten."

"It took you long enough. I was waiting for like ten minutes! You were late." She puffs irritated.

"I'm sorry. I got distracter. Tobias Sensei got a new girlfriend."

"Already? Isn't that his third this month?" Tenten asks with an annoyed expression.

"Fourth actually."

Tenten glares at Zeno, "You better not be learning his bad habits as well as his techniques. He always finds a problem in a girl and jumps right to te next one."

"Okay, okay, I won't," Zeno promises with a large smirk on his face.

"So. What did you want to meet for?" Zeno asks curiously.

"Well, considering we are graduating from the academy tomorrow, I though we could do something to celebrate us becoming full-fledged ninjas!" Tenten declares excitedly.

"And what's that?"

She smirks, "Follow me!"
