~Magical Beast-forest, Divine Star ContinentTraversing through the tree branches was Ryu. This was the most ideal and economical method of traveling for a shin.o.bi. Ryu had changed wardrobes. He was showcasing Kidōmaru sound five suit. It was an off white kimono, holding it together is a large purple Obi.
"Really? Are you going to play-about; is this forest a playground?"
Ryu had a wide grin across his face as he jumped from branch to branch. "Haha. Ah. Come on spoil-sport." He replied amicably.
Akatsuki eyes rolled mentally. Ryu had a bright idea earlier. After his daily meditation he hurriedly left the secret glade.
Kidōmaru wasn"t your typical ninja, he was actually an Archer. His disposition and innate abilities were naturally that of an archer. He excelled at long-range tactics, stealth related techniques. It was actually Shikamaru Naru who realized he was actually proficient taijutsu user.
"Akatsuki, I have trained and meditating far to long. Why can"t I have some fun?"
Stated Ryu.
"This mysterious magical forest, with abundance of magical beasts, waiting for me taste them," he smacked his lips. His predecessor lacked spirit root, even though he was a n.o.ble and ate better than most he didn"t gain anything from magical beast; his helpers even subst.i.tuted his food with regular meat, and ate his share. normally humans didn"t get to partake in beast meat to such extent, only those influential could afford to consume such nourishment.
With a diet like his along the phenomenal mediation technique he had on hand his chakra network was smooth and clear of roadblocks, also his reserves were blossoming astronomically.
"I know its childish, but am I not a child? Asked Ryu. Aido Hwedo was technically still a youth, and with their synergistic relationship Ryu had gain much from Aido, he even had part of his outlook on things. And, Ryu being a who he was on earth, craved adventure that he read in stories. He would have never been able to experience fierce battles with ferocious beast.
"I could only fantasies about these things on Earth," he explained. "And how about Aido, he could only watch from afar, with his lack of spirit root; he miserably watched other n.o.bles strolled about, and take to the skies, all of that was demoralizing to him. I have the opportunity and ability to a.s.suage both our dreams?" He landed on a tree branch. His argument complete.
He sighed. "Soon I want to be able to enjoy myself. Things are about to change, I"m afraid my personality will be among those things.
Akatsuki didn"t respond, but he felt her nodding, understanding.
Amazed at the different type of ecosystems inside the magical forest. One side was an everglade, swampland, and now rainforest. Then the trees, each one equal to the Eiffel Tower.
He whistled. "Even the Empire State Building wouldn"t necessary be king here."
Though he hunted in the forest, he seldom met powerful beasts. So him stumbling across some faint tracts of magical beast was exciting. He hung upside down like spider, this was in fact his kekkei-genkai. Kidōmaru Kekkai Genkai partially consisted of making spider webs by infusing his spit or sweat with chakra. He could use his webs to bind, trap, or sense enemies. These threads were extremely sticky, yet durable and elastic. Ryu Learned this was because his chakra was constantly flowing through the webs, even when it left his hand the chakra flow was constant; almost like an electrical current.
Originally he imagined he the webs couldn"t necessarily be cut easily.However, Akatsuki informed him Neji Gentle Fist was able to sever them. She summarized that the same method used by Warrior, and magicians had the potential.
He noted the intentions of the beast prints were hoof like. His predecessor had actually received proper education, and actually was very studios and absorbed knowledge like a sponge, that"s how he stumbled across the clan magical beast encyclopedia. This beast that he hunted was an Iron-Tusk Boar.
Iron-Tusk Boar lacked speed, but once it charged it was quite deadly, it"s tusks we"re like an elephants, though it was slow, it"s defense wasn"t. Being a magical beast element was of earth/iron.
The beast was actually a nuisance to human farms, with its iron tusks and intelligence, it often decimate farmland. Because of that and it"s fairly moderate strength, Human towns offered year-long quelling mission. He soon spotted the lone Iron-tusk boar, it was aggressively digging up some roots, it was obviously searching for some tasty morsels.
He squinted and decisiveness showed on his face. He began chewing vigorously as he watched the boar below. Akatsuki had mentioned, he looked funny, she said when he molded the sticky-gold he looked like a billy-goat. This technique was how he molded his k.u.mo Nenkin Kekkai Genkai. The weapons created from this process were the core of his style of fighting. Soon as the substance came in contact the air it would harden like steel. The more he progressed the stronger it could be come, this bloodline had support, offense and defense. It wasn"t actually bad tasting, the texture was soft, the flavor reminded him of bubblicious from earth. Using his hands he began to shape the substance into a golden kunai.
He descended on a thread. The beast didn"t notice. He was quite stealthy. His hand exploded forth, the golden kunai shimmering in the sunlight.
Roar! The kunai embedded into the skull of the Boar. Ryu released the blade, unfortunately the boar bucked and he was. .h.i.t. He sailed through the air, and tumbled across the marshland The boar whirled around, blood trickled down like a faucet. It roared painfully.
Spotting the a.s.sailant and seeing it was a human, the magical beast became incensed. Its black beady eyes turned red in hatred. Magical beasts were intelligent, even rank one beast had some sense, also magical beasts and human had precarious relationship, the two races fought many times in great wars.
The boar head lowered, its Iron tusks sharp and fierce pointed toward the hateful human that tried to sneak attack it. He righted himself and faced the beast. He saw how irate it was and remembered something, Iron-tusk boars were known to go berserk when they"re seriously infuriated. It right leg kicked up earth and its body blurred.
What? The boar couldn"t be seen. He couldn"t react fast enough. Things didn"t go as planned. He acted rashly, and ended causing himself trouble. He also didn"t have his Sharingan activated. He thought he had the drop on the beast.
Without anytime to properly prepare, he could only cross his arms. The semi-truck that was the angered to the extreme, iron-tusk boar slammed into him
Thud! His body rocketd ten-meters away. He body smacked into the base of the ma.s.sive tree. He groaned loudly and his sticky-gold body armor shattered around his arms into small pieces. Blood poured from his lips as he suffered internal damage. He landed on the ground on one knee.
Squeal!
Oink!
Oink!
The boar roared a mighty battle cry, and rushed forward again. Ryu eyes enlarged. He quickly activated his Sharingan. He flipped over the beasts, his right hand grabbed the embedded kunai, his left hand leaving an explosive tag in its place. He barely cleared the two meter bulk of the beast before the tag exploded, the blast sent him further away as debris and smoke-filled the area.
Boom!
