you call this.... a heroic battle?

At the Jinichi household,

The tension in the atmosphere was so palpable that you could basically touch it.

"Who's starting first, me or you Tadama ?"

"Well well well losers have to start first don't you think?"

"Heh. Your arrogance will be the cause of your downfall." Just as jinichi said so he smirked.

Just then his hand went down towards his pocket in an effort to draw out a cursed technique of some sort.

"Playing a game with the big-breasted manager. VOL 1 I'D LIKE TO SEE HOW YOU TOP THAT TADAMAAAAA" Jinichi..... He pulled out a "manga" from his pocket

"Hoh? Is that all you've got, volume one ? What are you talking about.?" Tadama said as blood was coming out of his nose.

"Now now. I think with old age you've lost your sight Tadama." Just as he said so he swipped his thumb across the book revealing not 1 but 3 other books.

"You-you've truly deceived me. But every dog has his good days. Toji whip out 'You Can Grope it if only 10 times'." As soon as Tadama said that the purple blob on Toji's shoulder spewed out 5 books with the same label.

"Sigh old man is this why you asked me to keep these books in my storage?" Toji didn't know if he should praise or be dissapointed at this old man.

"Tch, son if you can't even understand these books. You're still a child. " Tadama threw a dissaproving gaze towards his son.

"... Whatever"

"Heh Jinichi I bet you didn't expect THIS." Tadama said before throwing the books at jinichi.

"Oi Tadama, don't throw gold. What if it gets dam-VOLUME FIVE?!??? I THOUGHT IT WAS UNRELEASED." Jinichi was in pure shock as he held those books.

" Heh. Let's just say I called in some favours in the mortal world." Tadama said while trying to stop his nosebleed with tissues.

"Y-you you've forced me to do this!" Jinichi said before throwing another book from his left pocket at tadama.

'whats this? 'a-good-subordinate-is-also-good-at-sex-expressionless-kun-has-sex-with-his-female-boss-all-night' volume 1? Sigh. He's really underestimating me.

Just then Tadama threw the book on the floor.

"OY TADAMA WHAT ARE YOU DOINNNGGGGG ONLY 340 COPIES OF THAT BOOK ARE LEFT IN THIS WORLD AGHHHHHH" Jinichi looked horrified and on the brink of tears because of what tadama did.

"Toji whip out the other two books."

"Whatever" Toji said before passing two seemingly 200 page long mangas to Tadama.

"Guess what Jinichi-san! "Tadama said while holding the two books with his head sandwiched between them.

"N-no way volume t-two it can't be. The author died already and volume two was supposed to go on auction in May... How'd you get it already ?"

"Well..... Do you know the make a wish foundation from the human world? Let's just say I used my connections a bit too far. Aha!" Although Tadama worded it casually, he was sweating profusely.

"Y-you. Fine I accept defeat but only this once!." By now Jinichi was on the ground crying while banging it with his first, wondering what went wrong in his life.

"Mwahahahaha the ground is where you belong Jinichi"

"Now that I've won, I have something to ask from you."

"What is it? 'Playing a game with the big-breasted manager','At night shes a nymphomaniac' , 'a sexless wife finds pleasures in a sexual beauty treatment and cums again and again' .Which book do you want ?" Jinichi said with a defeated sigh.

"Unfortunately this time I've come for something else."

This time Jinichi really was shocked he looked at Tadama with suspicion.

"I want you to fight against my son"

"Oi I know that you gotta train them young but isn't this a bit overboard?"

"Don't worry about it. His cursed technique has already manifested. You'd be surprised at what it can do."

"Sigh. Fine when do we begin ?"

"Now." Toji said from the background.

"You sure brat? You're barely six years old."

"Doesn't matter, come at me."

'10% release'

Just as Toji said so, black chaos energy flowed out of the purple blob that stuck to Toji's hands, reinforcing and increasing their strength.

'This technique is still incomplete. With this body I can't coat my vessels and inner body.'

"Interesting cursed technique boy. Let's begin then." Come at me. Jinichi struck a pose before gesturing Toji to come at him with his hands.

"Get ready old man." Just as Toji said so he appeared right before Jinichi. Yet almost like jinichi expected a punch, he crossed his arms just in time to block it.

"Wow kid. You can really throw a good punch." He said while looking at his crossed arms which were blowing off smoke because of the friction.

"My turn." Just as he said so he dissapeared from Toji's vision.

'These monsters sigh' just as Toji said so he closed his eyes and spread his sense around the area.

But then he widened his eyes and crossed his arms towards his eyes, bracing for impact.

"Why is nobody here?" Toji could swear he felt Jinichi's presence to his right just 0.01 seconds ago.

"Peek-a-boo. Here comes dinner." Before Toji could even react he felt tens of punches hit his spine.

'Wh-what a monster.' even the punches that failed to hit Toji made huge craters on the ground. Toji even felt the bones in his spine crack a bit.

"Well then how'd you like my cursed technique kid? Wanna give up?"

<Missile Fists> Jinichi possessed a highly destructive technique that could conjure giant fists that were propelled by cursed energy, similar to a missile. These massive fists accompanied Jinichi's own physical punches. He's capable of forming at least seven of these fists at once, each one being large and powerful enough to easily crush a building during a barrage. Needless to say Toji isn't exactly a correct match for him physically.

"Sigh you're making this hard for me old man."

"70% release"

As soon as Toji said so the black energy released by the blob started to cover Toji.

"I call this technique, hmmmm yeah <chaotic shirt.>" At the end of the transformation toji was covered by what looked like black paint all around his body.

"Interesting. I wanna see how that fares compared to my techniq-" just as Jinichi said so he felt a punch land straight into his face.

"Now now now. This armour of mine allows me to be much faster and stronger."

As Jinichi hurriedly created distance between both of them, he couldn't help but admire Toji's physique while wiping the blood off his face.

"Impressive, brat. Let the fight continue then." Jinichi closed the distance between them before a barrage of punches hit Toji head on. Instead of defending against them Toji counterattacked them with welcoming hands.

As their fight continued you could feel the gusts of wind emanating from their battle.

'Looks like we are evenly matched.' the punches Toji sent against Jinichi were blocked by Jinichi's hands and the same happened for the other.

"You've forced me to do this old man." Toji quickly made distance between them before saying,

<100% release>

As soon as Toji said that his armour seemed to become even darker then before.

As Toji walked towards Jinichi, the ground below him started cracking, unable to handle his power.

"Get ready old man. I'm putting my 100% into this punch." As soon as Toji said this the black energy on his body moved towards Toji's right fist. So much so that his fist started leaking out steam.

'Tch looks like this body still can't handle 100% release.'

"Hohoho boy let this be our final showdown." As soon as he said that he coated his fist with cursed energy and all the imaginary middle fists that formed behind him seemingly merged with his fist making it turn red under stress.

By now the whole zen'in clan could hear the shockwaves emanating from Jinichi's house.

In the middle of the ground, both of their fists met causing the very air around them to be violently moved away from them, creating a sonic boom. The very ground they were standing on started caving under the stress. Just before both Toji and Jinichi were going to fall into the ravine their punches created, Tadama intervened and created fire arrows that flew and pinned them against the compound wall.

"Heh looks like I win." Toji said while looking at the unconscious body next to him but this wasn't without consequence.

"Looks like my right arm has a bit of damage." What toji said was an understatement. Blood was flowing straight thorugh his arm and if you looked closely you could even see the disfigured bone poking out of his right hand. The tendons trying in vain to hold back the broken bone but failing miserably.

"Dad take me back to the infirmary leave this guy hanging here. He'll understand who won when he looks at his body anyway." That's right, Jinichi's body was hit hard too. You could see that although his fingers were broken and dismembered but the worst was his arm, apparently the shock travelled through his fist and created giant crack on his arm through which blood was flowing out.

"Alright son, but I'm curious, aren't you feeling any pain?"

"Nope." Toji was lying. Unfortunately, he did feel pain, but this was nothing compared to what he felt when he lost her.

"Just in case I'll knock you unconscious."

Tadama carried his son's unconscious and bloodied body to the infirmary.

----------------------------------------------------------

At the infirmary,

The nurses and doctors weren't majorly busy because most lower members of combat unit were out on missions and the patriarch himself went out with them. So needless to say there wasn't much traffic coming there.

"Haaaah finally I can get some rest." The doctor was about to get a quick nap in his chair, the door to the infirmary was burst open making it fall down to the floor.

"Sigh. Tadama san you do know that breaking down our doors whenever you come isn't compulsory?"

"Teehee. It's a bit of a habit of mine." Tadama poked his tongue out of his mouth before walking in.

"So where are you injured this t- WHAAATTTT GET THE PATIENT ON THE MAIN BED RIGHT NOW."the doctor couldn't help but make a horrified face when he saw the 6 year old infront of him.

"Uh he just fell down from his cycle don't worry much."

"Do you think we'll really believe that? This is related to the shockwaves from before isn't it? Tadama you can't keep getting others involved in your fights."

"Uh yeah." Tadama couldn't go around and tell people that his son beat JINICHI ZENIN out of all people could he?.

"Anyways get out of the room we'll be performing surgery on him. You can wait on the bench outside."

"Alright doctor make sure that he can still use his arm later."

"Are you fucking stupid? He's got multiple fractures on his arm it would be a miracle if he can use it in the future."

"Eh don't worry. He's my son of all people."

"Okay just get the fuck out of the room. Your stupidity is making me go crazy."

"Okay. Bye bye."

"Sigh looks like I'm busy once again" the doctor said while putting on his gloves.

6 hours later,

Out of the place where the door to the infirmary once was the doctor could be said walking out while sweating.

" As expected of your son. He's a monster for his age. His muscles already started to sort-of heal mid surgery."

"Uhm. I already knew that, what about his bones.?"

"Eh, we had to perform surgery on that fracture. A metal stent was kept adjoining his bone to help it heal. When it's done healing we'll remove it so don't worry."

"Judging by your son's healing ability and stamina, it won't take long until the bone is as good as new, but he won't be able to use his right arm for a while."

"Neat. At least the bone isn't fucking destroyed."

"I hate your fucking guts Tadama. If you weren't a regular at this place I would have killed you. Just take him away when he's concious again."

One day later at the infirmary-

" This is the fourth time I had to say this but where am I?"

[Processing request]

[The host is at the in-]

'Relax, I did it for comedic effect for the viewers, anyways looks like my bone's broken, well the fracture will heal in a while no worries. They'll probably take out the iron rod from my hand when it's done healing.'

"Hello is anyone there?" Toji said while moving his head around the seemingly empty room.

"H-huh? Toji sama you are awake?" He saw that Mai who was sleeping on his leg before, suddenly got up and bowed to him on the floor.

"Sigh. How many times do I have to say this? You can relax when you're with me."

"Toji sama, as your humble servant, it would be a sin if I did that." Mai was sweating profusely while saying so. She had fallen asleep whilst watching Toji, half way through her night shift. Truly an embarrassment.

"Any changes in the Zen'in household while I was gone?"

"Yes, Toji Sama. Naobito Zen'in and the kukuru unit are back from their cursed spirit elimination missions."

"Hoh? That old man is back? Well he'll be shocked by what happened here while he was gone hah. "

'Unfortunatly now isn't the time to fight against him. I still need to increase my power level. If I can almost lose to a person like Jinichi, I've got a long way to go.'

"Anyways let's go home."

"Yes, Toji Sama."

As they exited the infirmary they saw an old man sleeping on the couch.

"Tadama sama has been sleeping here waiting for your recovery since yesterday, Toji sama."

"Hoh? Well time to wake him up then." He said while pulling his dad's cheek with his only remaining hand.

"Oy Oyaji. Wake up"

"H-huh TOOOJIIIIIIII you're up already, how is your arm feeling?" Tadama suddenly sprang from the couch before shaking Toji's shoulders around.

"It's all right although it will be an inconvenience while fighting Ogi, but I'd still win."

"Son honestly I thought you'd want to delay your duel with Ogi because of this but you really are a true warrior." Tadama said while crying tears of pride."

"Yeah yeah whatever let's just go home. I'm tired."
