New member and Training Time

Yo here's the chap. No idea about tomorrow though. 50:50. There might be one or not. My family had the bright idea to go on a mountain that's like 150 km away. Apparently some famous ski resort.

No idea. If there aren't any chaps like in 4 days. It means I died there xD

After we put down the necessary barriers. Me and Kurama got into position to face each other. I was standing up against a Giant Fox.

The tension was high.

He was a master at Senjutsu. Having practiced it his entire life. And I guess he is one of the few that has actually used Evil Chakra. Hanging on to his sanity while training every day with Nature Chakra must have been hell.

Senjutsu is tricky. Especially when Yokai use it. For example, Nekomata have Kasha. The user summons multiple wheels covered in spiritual flames. The flames won't stop burning until they change the reason and principle of their existence. They also have a purification effect.

Manipulating the life force and souls of others is also possible.

When you learn Senjutsu which is basically manipulating the life force. You gain Touki. Touki is, in essence the external manifestation of one's life-force. You get a boost in strenght, speed and endurance.

Which can be acquired through insane training. Like Sairaegorg and me. But I focused on my Demonic Power and Swords. So my Touki is kinda weak.

And I'm about to fight a guy who is more or less on my level without any boosts. So when we both fight we use our own methods to increase our strenght,

This should be fun.

"READY!" Veldora was in his dragon form. The others were on top of his head. It was for their own safety

"GO!"

Both of us rushed at each other. I formed an ordinary sword in my hand and directly entered Balance Braker.

Against a Senjutsu user of his caliber. This is the one

'Bankai' (A/N Unohana Bankai Violin OST)

A cut my palm on the beginning of my blade. And smear blood on it all the way to the tip.

'Minazuki'

"Huh?!" Kurama jumped back as blood started to pour out of my sword. Quickly covering the ground beneath us. Like a tsunami, the blood engulfed the nearby trees and started to let out a bloody mist that covered the sky.

"What is this? This blood.. It feels wrong" Kurama mumbled as he tried to use Senjutu on it and failed.

"Senjutu allows you to manipulate life force. But only the one who wields this blade can move this blood."

I stabbed the tip in the blood pool beneath us and slashed at Kurama. A huge sharp blood arc followed the course of my sword. Flying at Kurama.

*Boom*

Kurama's aura exploded. White Touki with bits of black and red covered him. He used his palm to smash the blood arc. He raised one of his tails

" Fox Fire" Crimson flames engulfed the tail he raises it in the air preparing to attack.

Hmm that fire damages the spirit directly

*Shhh.*

I quickly look below and jump back. From the blood pool. Orange-red hair tendrils attacked me. I cut away most of them, but I was still cut on a few places on my body.

"I didn't think you would resort to tricks from the strat" I smile at him. As the blood mist healed my wounds.

"Fox Yokai. What did you expect? But all this blood is really troublesome. But you are still holding back. The energy flow in your body is blocked. Are you looking down on me" Kurama growled

"Hmm noticed that right away. Too bad. I was hoping to use it as a sneak attack. KAI" (Release)

*BOOOOOMMMM*

All the Debuff and Training swords in my body vanished. Gravity, Resistance and Mana Supresion Swords were gone.

Ahhh this feels great. I feel so light. I haven't felt this way since I fought Tiamat.

"Well you asked for it" I pump my Demonic Power to the max alongside the Weak Touki I have.

"COME!" Kurama uses Touki and Fox Fire to cover his whole body. He rushed at me.

His claws and my sword met.

*Clang* *Clang* *Clang*

We go blow for blow. I use blood slashes against him but his Touki weakens most of the Blood Slashes.

On the other hand, his Fox Fire and Touki hit me even as I dodged. He tried to use Senjustu to mess up my own ki flow. But Minazuki stopped that from happening. It was blocking his Senjutsu from working on me.

But he was still accumulating injuries from all the Blood Slashes. While I was healing all my injuries.

*BOOM. BOOM. SPLAT*

"Damn all of this blood is annoying. Can you even be killed" Kurama grumbled as he used his fire to burn the blood around him. He was at a disadvantage and he knew it. But he didn't have enough control to change into Human Form.

"Like you are one to talk. Your Fox Fire takes a ton of power to heal. Spiritual attacks are such a pain. Its one of the main reasons I want to learn Senjutsu" I use a Blood Wave to block his Fire.

The Blood was evaporated but Minazuki made more.

"Well defend against this" I make a sword in my hand Acceleration Sword. And I strap it on my back. usually, I would just combine it with Ink sword so it can be a tattoo. But losing even more of my 'stamina' against him is stupid

I started to Slash at incredible speeds. My arm blurred as I threw out Blood Arcs.

*Slash. Slash. Slash. Slash. Slash. Slash. Slash..*

~ A little further away

*Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!*

*BANG!*

"Sugoi. I didn't know Isaiah was that strong" Asia claped her hands in excitement

"That's very impressive. Good to know that our leader is a capable guy" Meredith mumbled with a pleased expression

"Umu" Valeri just nodded with a smile

"AHAHAHAH. AS EXPECTED OF MY SWORN FRIEND!!" Veldora laughed loudly

*Zzzzzzz*

"Oi! Don't sleep through the fight!" Veldora yelled at Dino

Dino raised his eye mask and pulled it down again "Hmmm? 5 more minutes"

"Let him sleep. He is a hopeless case anyway" Meredith pated Veldora on the back

"Dino looks tired. Maybe we should just let him sleep" Asia even while knowing the truth about the world. Was still a kind person at heart.

She took out a pillow from the Storage Spell Isaiah thought her and gave it to Dino

"Asia you are an angel" Dino mumbled as he went back to sleep, this time on a fluffy pillow

"As I said. Hopeless" Meredith just shook her head and turned back to watch the fight.

~~~~

"HAHAHAAHAHAHA" Kurama was enjoying himself, but he started to get reckless, fighting like a berserker

This idiot started to take in Raw Nature Chakra again. That means the Malevolent part as well.

He will ruin all his effort.

I use the blood to tie him up. Then I use my wings and fly to his head

"Wake UP!" and smack him right in between the eyes. I use Tsunade's super punch technique and sent him flying

Kurama yelled from the pain but his reasoning returned. He put his palm on his forehead and started to massage it.

My arm was busted up but the blood healed me. That move really isn't for me. The amount of control needed for it is insane.

"Fuck!...Thank you." He says awkwardly

"I lost control again. When they attack me I automatically start to absorb Nature Charka. To raise my strength to their level. But.."

"-but it also makes it easier for you to lose control. Man if you have been doing this each time you were attacked. No wonder you unconsciously gather raw nature chakra. You really need to work on that."

Kurama nodded as he got back up

"Still want to fight?" I ask the Giant Fox

"How about one last attack? Frankly, I have never even used it. It might be a bit too much even for you" He said uncertainly

Is he still hiding something like that?

"Alright" I deactivate Minazuki. I doubt it could handle what he is about to throw at me.

Kurama raised his tails in the air around him. From the tips of the tails Fox Fire appeared. It slowly started to gather in front of him, forming a ball of Crimson fire.

The fire started to condense. The more fire is condensed the hotter it becomes. Especially high-level flame like his Fox Fire.

"Huff. Huff. I don't even have a name for it yet" Kurama looked at the Dark Crimson Fire Ball

"How about Bijudama" (Taled Beast Bomb)

Kurama looked back at his tails then at the bomb "Yeah, that will work. I hope you survive this"

Yeah right. I'm not taking that attack. I could probably stop it. But it would drain me too much. Not to mention the destruction it will do to the surrounding area. I dont want to be here when the Shinto Faction comes.

So the answer is simple.

"TAKE THIS!!" Kurama threw the ball at me. As soon as it left his control the Compressed Fox Fire started to burn through everything in its way.

'Sword Birth. YAMATO'

A katana with a white handle and golden guard appeared in my hand. The blade itself was sharp. The way it glided through the air, No the way it 'cut' the air.

The sword is able to cut through anything, even the very fabric of space itself.

Why fight it when you can make it disappear?

"HYAAAAAAA"

I jump in the air and 'cut' the space in front of me, 'cutting' even as I fall down to the ground. A multicolored distorted space appeared where I previously cut.

The Dimensional Gap

The Bijudama entereded the Gap. And disappeared like it never even existed. I quickly closed up the 'portal'.

"Well that's just not fair" Kurama slumped a bit. Disappointed that his strongest attack was taken care of that easily

"A deal is a deal. Looking forward to working with you" Kurama gave a wry smile in his fox form

"Lets go meet the others" I spread my wings and went to see the 'spectators

~Team meeting.

A few minutes to let Asia calm down and for the others to officially introduce themselves.

We are finally ready to start.

"Okey now that we have a new member and our group has grown large enough. It's time to start training seriously. Without power. We will be picked apart by the other factions. Coincidently we are out in the middle of nowhere which means we can go wild as long as we place barriers."

Veldora and Kurama smirk at that.

"Do we have to-" Dino just whined

"Yes" I deadpan at him

"Ah... Ok then. Zzz" And he went back to sleep.

Sigh

"First of all Kurama. Your situation is the most critical." I threw him a bunch of swords " That one is for Purification. It will help you get rid of the Malevolent Chakra. The blue one next to it forcefully keeps your mind Calm. That should stop you from getting influenced or go insane. The next one is an experimental one i just made. Chakra Suppression Sword. I based it off my old one. My original one uses my own power to keep my power suppressed. I'm hoping this one will help you contain the wild Chakra. The next sword one just helps you stay in meditation longer."

Kurama uses his hair tendrils to pick up the swords. "I'll see what I can do with them"

He walks away from us and goes back to meditating

"Good. Veldora your case is simple. You are Peak High Class and need a good fight to break through. So we will beat the shit out of each other later. Dino will join us"

"AHAHAHA. As expected of my Sworn Friend. You already got it planed out" Veldora laughed in his exaggerated tone

"I will do what now?" Dino woke up when he heard his name "Go back to sleep" I just wave him off.

Dino just needs to train. He is already Low Ultimate.

~(MC is High Ultimate. But he just broke through. Base strenght. Wants to learn senjutsu )~

Now for the girls.

"Asia and Meredith need Stamina Training. After that Meredith needs to practice with her sacred gear. While Asia needs to train in Mana Control for the technique she wants to learn.

Both of them nodded.

The world wasn't nice enough to allow them to live carefree lives.

If they wanted to be truly free. They needed to become strong.

Now for Valerie, She is strong power-wise. But has no fighting experience. And her strenght lies in Healing and Buffing others.

" Valerie. Your situation is a bit complicated. Sephiroth Graal is making things difficult for you. I will give you swords to block out it's influence. And you will practice your healing on us. After some time. When you get stronger. We will try eliminating some of our 'weaknesses'. Okay?"

"Umu" Valerie nods resolutely

"You will also be learning some attack and defense spells. And maybe some physical exercise if you are feeling better. Oh and If you ever get the thirst for blood call me right away. I don't mind giving you my blood" I patted the older girl on the head. Making her blush.

She just gave a small nod at me.

"Okay people. Let's get to work!"

~ Dimensional Gap

A giant Red Dragon saw a Red Fire 'Marble' coming his way.

Huff

He blew out air from his nose and The Bijudama was snuffed out.

"Stupid brats"

### A/N
