Sukuna stood on a rooftop with Hinata in his arms as he looked at her, ''Hold on tight''
Hinata removed the hands from her face as she showed her blushing cheeks, this was the most intimate she had been with a man in her life.
She hesitantly put her hands around his neck which made Sukuna smile lightly, he flexed his legs as he jumped up.
''KYAA!'' Hinata squeeked as she saw the ground beneath her become smaller at an insane pace.
Her arms tightened around his neck with strength Sukuna could swear would slap Neji into oblivion with a single hit.
''Calm down, don't kill me before we hit the ground Hinata-chan'' Sukuna said with a bitter smile which made Hinata blush in embarrassment as she looked at the ground.
Her eyes sparkled as she looked at the bright moon, they were so high in the air that she didn't even hear the life inside of Konoha anymore.
''Calming, isn't it?'' Sukuna's voice shook Hinata awake from her amazement as she lightly nodded with a happy smile on her face as she looked at the stars.
''I'm taking you with me to train with Might Guy, although Kurenai means well, she is heavily focussed on Genjutsu. Guy wanted to teach me Taijutsu so I might aswell bring him another student'' Sukuna joked to which Hinata softly replied,
''W....Won't he mind? After all, I barely know Guy-Sensei'' Hinata softly said.
''Haha don't worry, he is kindhearted, too kindhearted if you ask me'' Sukuna smiled happily yet you could hear envy in his voice.
Hinata noticed it aswell and didn't say anything, merely clutching his clothes as they bounced through the air.
Soon, they arrived at training ground number 87 where Guy always trained his team. It was already dark yet it was still bright around that area.
Guy and Lee were still furiously working out while the other two seemed to have left already like Sukuna thought.
As Sukuna approached from the sky, Guy looked up and happily smiled. It seemed another promising child had appeared to learn from him!
''Good evening! Young ones!'' ''Yo! Sukuna, Hinata! Are you coming to train aswell?!"
Two eccentric voices came from the two as they welcomed the pair. Sukuna let Hinata out of his embrace as she looked down with a red face.
''Guy, do you mind if we train with you tonight?'' Sukuna asked politely with a smile on his face.
''Ofcourse not! To teach the young the power of youth is my honor!'' Guy said as he smiled and put up his thumb.
''Then what do you suggest we do?'' Sukuna asked as he listened attentively, Hinata also focused on Guy who gave them instructions.
''Hinata-chan will have to improve her body while Sukuna you should spar with Lee so I can see how strong you actually are. Only Taijutsu and no techniques!'' Guy said to which Lee's eyes shone brightly with an excited smile.
Sukuna nodded and went with Lee to a separate part of the training field. Both got into position as Guy's voice rang out, ''Both of you should remove your weights''
Lee shook for a moment and nodded before removing his weights, creating a big dust cloud as they fell.
Sukuna also removed his, creating almost a similar dust cloud to Lee's amazement.
''Sukuna! I didn't know you had such strength!'' Lee said in genuine happiness.
''They are getting too light and barely give any results anymore so I will stop wearing them soon. I don't focus on Taijutsu after all'' Sukuna said with a light smile.
Lee nodded and put out his thumb, Sukuna smiled helplessly as the two of them looked at eachother. The two disappeared from their spots as a loud bang was heard through the trainingfield which shook Hinata from Guy's explenation.
''Hoho? It seems that his strength is even a bit higher than young Lee!'' Guy said in amazement as he saw Lee take 2 steps back as Sukuna stood at the same spot.
Lee's face was full of shock aswell, he didn't expect anyone to have more strength than him in his generation. They might be stronger in other things but definitely not raw strength!
Yet Sukuna just forced him back....
Sukuna grinned at Lee before disappearing once more, Lee felt cold sweat on his back as Sukuna appeared behind him with a nonchalant smile on his face.
Lee's leg acting like a whip as it blocked Sukuna's fist. However, he was still thrown back a dozen meters and landed onto the ground.
The two of them continued their shuffle while Guy started teaching Hinata a few poses while wearing weights on her.
Sukuna obviously had the upper hand in the fight while occasionally hitting Lee's body. However, again and again he got up which earned him at least some respect from Sukuna.
After an hour, Guy stopped the two and started training them Taijutsu while Hinata was busy with her own practice.
''Alright, that is enough young ones!'' Guy said with his usual eccentric voice as he clapped his hands.
Sukuna looked at him from an upside-down posture as he stood on one finger while doing push-ups, sweat drenching his body yet his body was as solid as a rock.
He pushed himself against the ground and landed on his feet, Lee and Hinata also slowly got up from their seating posture while breathing heavily.
They both looked at Sukuna as if he was a monster, Guy had made their training so that they would need to take a break every 30 minutes because they were at their limit.
Yet Sukuna, whose training was way harder had no difference to him except the sweat on his body. His posture was solid, his breathing was steady and his pace never slowed down.
''Hinata-chan, Sukuna, you two should continue these exercises for the next month. When it gets too light you increase it by 5%, amount of weight AND actions'' Guy said with a bright smile as he handed a scroll to Sukuna, ''You should learn this as well, only use it when needed since it is quite heavy on the body!''
Sukuna looked at the scroll and asked, ''What is this?''
''It's something my father created after he created the 8 Gates'' Guy said proudly as Sukuna read the scroll.
----------
[6 Thrones Technique]
Uses Chakra to enhance the body's Strength, Toughness and Chakra Flow
[Creator] Might Dai
---------
''But I thought your Father barely had any Chakra'' Sukuna in shock as he read through the technique, it sounded simple yet the usefulness is simply ridiculously off the charts.
''Ofcourse! But my father wanted to teach the children of the village this technique. But the village told him that a technique created by a Genin of over 35 years old would never be able to create a Jutsu good enough. If you don't want to learn it either I und-….'' Guy said with a bitter smile, but Sukuna interrupted him and stashed the scroll fast enough that his hands became a blur.
''I will repay you for this one'' Sukuna said seriously, others might not understand why he was so determined with this 'failed' technique, but he was sure of how powerful it was.
The moment he laid eyes on it, it was as if his brain was obsessing over it.
Guy smiled happily as he put his hands on Sukuna's shoulders, ''I'm glad to hear that! One day I might be able to see it in its full glory! Now it's time to go home, it's already night time after all''
Sukuna nodded and looked at Hinata who was still trying to steady her breath, ''I will walk you home''
Hinata nodded with a red face and walked together with Sukuna out of the training field after they bade their farwells to the eccentric duo.
As they both walked through the dark streets, Hinata was fidgeting with her clothes which gained Sukuna's attention.
''Something wrong?''
Hinata just shook her head and hid her face, Sukuna looked at her with a light and said, ''You suck at lying''
Hinata hesitated for a bit before answering, ''My dad will get angry I stayed out so late''
''Don't worry, he won't be mad'' Sukuna said with the same smile, Hinata looked at him with a confused expression but just continued walking, readying her heart for her father's yelling.
After walking for a few minutes, the two of them came in front of the Hyuga Clan where four guards protected the gate.
The guards looked at the duo approaching before one of the guards quickly disappeared while the other three looked at them with disdain.
Sukuna's expression didn't change while Hinata tried to hide her face.
''No entry for outsiders'' One of the guards said coldly as he stoke out one of his hands, blocking their path.
''B...but he is my friend'' Hinata stuttered with a red face as she tried to hide herself.
''Doesn't matter'' The guard replied coldly. The other guards snickered at the side as they didn't even bother to hide their laughter.
''I see, so I'm not welcome huh?'' Sukuna said with a warm smile on his face.
''Indeed, we do not welcome outsiders'' The guard said coldly as he continued, ''Young miss, you should go inside and stop wasting our time''
Hinata trembled slightly and nodded, Sukuna looked at her and sighed internally. Hinata's behavior was worse than he expected.
''Hinata-chan, open your eyes okay?'' Sukuna said as he put a hand on her shoulder, her body shook and looked at him in confusion before he disappeared.
The guard who was looking at with a cold and disdainful look suddenly felt the threat of death he felt quite a few times in his years and hastily tried to raise a kunai.
However.... Sukuna's left fist had already connected with his jaw, a bone-crunching sound ran through the area which made the other guards and Hinata's spines tingle.
The guard flew five meters into the air, his head spinning as he saw the moon above...
'Four moons...???' The guards mind blurred as Sukuna suddenly appeared above him as his right fist blocked the guards face.
Another bone-crunching sound ran through the area as a fountain of blood and shattered teeth flew through the air as the guard was smashed into the ground, creating cracks on the floor where he landed.
Sukuna landed on the ground under the stunned gazes of the other guards to which he just said, ''You should tell your Clan Leader that the heir of the Senju Clan is here to see him''
One of the guards nearly fell on his butt as Sukuna's voice ran through his ears, the gravity of the situation was too heavy for him to bear.
He scrambled away while Sukuna just wiped his fist on his clothes, ''See Hinata-chan? They are not that scary''
''Mhm'' Hinata nodded in a daze.
''Oh, if you're curious. I call that move 'Left, right, goodnight'. It's simple and fun to ruin someone's confidence'' Sukuna said with a laugh as multiple people came running over to the gate.
Hiashi and three other elders came running over, they looked at the guard who was pummeled into the ground with a frown on their face.
Hiashi looked at Sukuna and said with an emotionless expression, ''I didn't expect the soon-to-be Senju Heir to be at my humble Clan Compound''
The guards shook and trembled upon knowing who Sukuna actually was while the elders piped down aswell and looked towards the guards with a cold face, they weren't idiots and knew of Sukuna's behavior to a certain extent.
''Mm, I came to drop off your daughter. I took her with me for the evening to train some'' Sukuna said with a light smile.
''I see, I apologize if my useless daughter wasn't enough'' Hiashi said coldly, Hinata trembled and hid her face while tears threatened to fall from her eyes.
''Hiashi-san, if I thought she was useless I wouldn't have dropped her off so late. Her weakness stems from the poor teaching she has received'' Sukuna's face turned cold while Hiashi looked at him with a frown on his face, clearly not liking the indirect dig Sukuna took at him.
''I see, that doesn't explain how she is weaker than her little sister. Regardless, I thank you for bringing my daughter home. Now go to your room Hinata'' Hiashi said while not even looking at her once.
Hinata nodded lightly and awkwardly walked away, Sukuna looked at her back with a frown on his face. This girl was like a little rabbit, she was meek, shy, vurnurable and small. Sukuna's eyes turned emotionless as he said,
''Grandmother asked you to meet her one last time, consider this my message delivered''
Hiashi and the elders visibly trembled as they remembered the old hag as Hiashi could only nod his head.
It was clear from his reaction the impact Marani's past on the village, to Sukuna she had always been a gently old lady but to others? She was a demon incarnation.....
''I will visit her tomorrow'' Hiashi said with reluctance as Sukuna merely wished him goodbye and left.
It wasn't his place to berate Hiashi on Hinata's treatment, if anything, it was her own responsibility to show them they made a mistake.
Considering with what he saw in their training, he had no doubt that the Chuunin exams were going to be interesting.
