The next round was between The Two elder Hyuga Cousins, Neji Hyuga and Himiko Hyuga.
" Heh, this is going to be too easy," said Neji with a cocky grunt.
Himiko just stood there unfazed by his cocky attitude.
" Heh I guess you're scared," said Neji.
Himiko just cocked her head to the left.
" That's funny, Do I seem Afraid," asked Himiko.
Kai, Yoshiko and Naruto shook their hands as if trying to wave off a burning sensation.
" Grr...Don't get cocky you Kuudéré," said Neji.
" *Cough* Alright *Cough* that's enough, Now Begin," said Hayate.
The match began and Neji came at Himiko with an attempt at a spearhand to Himiko's heart.
Himiko in return sidestepped it at the last minute while delivering a knee strike to Neji's solar plexus in such a fluid motion that Neji nearly has the wind knocked out of him.
Neji turns to deliver a back turn palm only for Himiko to use a windmill block to pull him into an arm break lock and then sweep his legs with a powerful low roundhouse kick to the ankles of neji's feet which kicked them out from underneath him and flipped him upside down.
Neji recovered and attempted an elbow strike using a move known as The Geki-Tou-Chou-Chuu only for Himiko to catch it with a yin-yang Palm and then push herself off it spinning before landing in a crouching crane stance underneath Neji's attempt at a spinning hook kick and Himiko strikes Neji with a palm wave.
Neji was launched across the ground and he got to his feet and he activated his Byakugan, however so did Himiko and from there things got crazy as the two engaged in a closed quarters combat Duel with Every strike Neji threw a Himiko redirected with a simple push of her palms eventually Neji attempted a double palm spike which Himiko pushed up before pulling down neji's arms by the inside of his elbows and drover her knee into his chin, nearly scrambling neji's brain then Neji in a brief moment attempted to use a tenkettsu point strike to cut off her breathing that was until Himiko somehow jumped from his front view to his side view and proceeded to land a series of fast multiple hands from the crane, tiger, mantis and snake fist while also striking neji's tenkettsu points before delivering a powerful Corkscrew tiger palm strike to Neji's chest which unleashed a spiral arrow of wind force.
" Hakke-taikyoku-ken: Fujin-yumi/ Eight trigrams Universe extreme fist: Wind Gods bow," she shouted the attack pushed Neji into a corner where again Himiko appeared to jump from one place to another and she proceeded to hit him with a barrage of tenkettsu point strikes to his arms, legs, up his center line then finally to his throat causing his entire body to go numb and his breathing to be sealed off.
" That's the pain you were trying to inflict on me and Hinata-chan, now try and break free from it yourself or just lay there suffocate and die," she said and walked away.
Neji tried to push himself up.
" Do-" he began.
" Look-"
" DON'T YOU DARE LOOK DOWN ON ME!" Neji shouted rushing Himiko with an attempt to kill her with a powerful strike to the kidneys but Himiko vanished and Neji for a moment in his rage couldn't find her until it was too late and Himiko from a bow stance delivered a powerful rising heel kick before turning Neji downward at a 90 degree angle and planted him into the ground with a powerful heel spike as she shouted out.
" Hakke-taikyoku-ken: Tenchi-Haoh-Geri!" And the blow nearly crushed neji's diaphragm as Neji was finally down for the count.
Everyone watching was surprised at this except for the Sensei's.
They all knew that when it came to Ayeka's teams she wouldn't accept anyone except those with the skill to survive and the resolve to kill if needed.
" * Cough* Neji Hyuga of team 3 is unable to battle* cough* Himiko Hyuga of Team 12 wins," said Hayate.
" No way Neji lost," said Ten-Ten in shock.
" Reasonably it makes since; Himiko was holding back both in combat and In fury, tired of the abuse they put her and Hinata through this was the opportunity of a lifetime for her to run wild on one of the people who made her's and her cousin's life a living hell, naturally she wanted to put him through more but because it would go against their clans' rules, she only used a small amount of what should've been her true skills," said Ayeka.
" Well As The Old Saying Goes... Hell Hath No Fury...Like A Woman Scorned," Kai said while putting on his shades doing his best Horatio Caine impression.
Everyone rolled their eyes at the cheesy impression.
The next match was between Ino and Sakura and of course like cannon they were equal in every field even though it was mainly just the basic academy shit until Ino attempted to use a mind possession Jutsu to force Sakura to surrender until Sakura broke out and then the two went for a clash however unlike in canon Sakura had managed to gain a more fundamental standard in Taijutsu and she slipped under ino's attempt to put her down before delivering a huge slugger-style: gut punch and then delivered a one two punch to ino's jaw line before finally putting her down with a powerful Right Hook to the temple ending the fight.
" When did she learn that?" I asked.
" I may have Given her some lessons," said Yoshiko with a wink.
The elimination round continued as followed.
The next match is between Yoshiko senju and Omōi.
" Heavenly Foot of pain!" Shouted Yoshiko.
" *Cough* *Cough*Omōi is unable to continue, and can someone please use an earth style to fix the arena,* cough* *cough*" said Hayate.
" The next match is Shino Abarame versus Zaku," said Hayate.
" Somebody, do something, get them off of me," cried Zaku as multiple parasitic insects were climbing into his hands.
" Next up is Kankuro-no-sabuku versus Choji Akamichi!" Said Hayate.
While choji did his best to overcome Kankuro It wouldn't be enough as the poison of Kankuro's puppets would wind up pushing choji to his limits.
Finally there was Lee Versus Gaara.
" Let us Have a Youthful battle," said Lee.
" Whatever," said Gaara.
Lee attacked Gaara with an attempt at a dynamic Entry only for Gaara to defend with his living sand.
Lee then attempted a leaf gale only for Gaara to defend against the low spin kick, from there lee evaded and attempted feint which Gaara was able to predict however lee used a mix up to deliver a toe kick to gaara's gut before delivering a Corkscrew Roundhouse Kick to the jaw of the sand ninja.
This served as the catalyst to piss Gaara off however at that moment Lee was called out by Gai who gave him a thumbs up.
And with a swift hand seal from Kai Lee's weights were released causing not one not two not three but five huge mushroom clouds to cover the arena.
( Allow me to explain,)
Two years before hand.
Kai and Naruto were heading to their usual spot to train when they noticed an older boy who looked like a young Bruce lee kicking against a log.
After discussing with him they found out his name.
" So your name is Rock Lee and you're incapable of using Ninjutsu, but you're trying to prove yourself by mastering Taijutsu, very well then I'll help you out," Kai said.
He then took Lee to a shop where he bought a special set of weighted clothing unlike the leg weights that lee used in Cannon this was a full set of clothes similar to that of Goku's clothes during the Piccolo Jr saga, they were also given a special seal to grow heavier the more his body adapted to them and after discussing it with Lee's mentor Gai, they agreed that Kai would be the one to let Lee free from the weights.
Normally the weights were estimated to be about 1000 to 1500 Kg's for his leg weights alone in cannon Goku's clothes are estimated to be 140 pounds total so by combining with the shirt weighing 50 the boots each weighing 30 and the wristbands each weighing about 15 kilos so in total lee should be wearing about 30'110 Kg's.
Naturally lee would challenge me every month for a spar but I wasn't available for two of them so he began acting like we were strangers like he did back at the academy entrance.
( Now back to the story,)
Everyone's faces were priceless Sakura had the biggest wtf was that face i've ever seen.
" Just how much weight was that lee!" Asked Ino.
" Oh about 30'110 Kgs," said Lee.
" That's over 15 tons," said Sakura weakly.
Lee suddenly moved so fast he seemed to teleport just above gaara's head before delivering a fast 450 spinning roundhouse kick to gaara's jaw cracking it before Lee then teleported via speed again and delivered a powerful spinning low kick to Gaara's calves knocking the legs out from underneath him before Lee performed a diving corkscrew knee drop into gaara's solar-plexus knocking the wind out of him.
Gaara was unable to do anything to Lee and eventually Lee wound up attempting to use the Front Lotus however at that moment Gaara used his sand to trap Lee's limbs before attempting to break them however lee broke free by sheer strength alone and proceeded to spam a knuckle rush to Gaara's body before using a uppercut so fast it caught fire and delivering a flying Kick into Gaara's Chest knocking him out.
" Leaf Bonfire smash!" Shouted Lee it was a technique I had taught lee from an old game called street fighter alpha 3 that was used by fei-long another Bruce Lee clone called Ryuu-Yasai ( dragon eight smashes) the attack was enough to punish Gaara as the punch set him on fire and the kick amplified that speed.
" Lee!" Shouted Gai.
Lee finished the fight by using a different flying grapple move this time it was straight out of the undertakers play book as Lee performed a flying tombstone piledriver pin.
Ending the match.
Lee was walking away before Gaara got up and called his sand to attack Lee however at that moment Naruto and I appeared and both Naruto and I had our swords held at Gaara's neck.
" Do it and you die," I said.
" You're messing with the demon of the sand," said Gaara.
" We've killed worse for less," said Naruto with a slasher grin on his face.
The boy grunted and he returned to his place.
The matches continued as normal except that Hinata wound up facing Temari in a duel and wound up being wounded pretty badly.
" Hinata!" Shouted Naruto lifting her up carefully.
Tsunadé arrived to tend to the wounded and then Naruto gave Temari a death glare.
" you better count your days because they're numbered," said Naruto.
" Ooh, I'm so scared," she said in mock horror.
" Oh you should be," said Naruto as his face began to show a more feral animalistic form.
The matches were set.
Kai vs Lee.
Naruto VS Kankuro.
Himiko Vs Sasuke.
Yoshiko VS Sakura.
Temari VS Shikamaru.
- meanwhile-
" Damnit, this isn't going as I planned, how the hell did Gaara lose, is speed really so powerful that his sand can't keep up with him...no it has to do with perception," said Orochimaru.
" Please allow me to avenge our honor," said Kabuto.
" No need to, Kabuto-kun, we will gain revenge in our invasion but to do this we need you to prepare to take out those who are investigating our involvement," said Orochimaru.
" Do you mean the white lynx?" Asked Kabuto.
" Indeed I do," said Orochimaru.
Kai was glad he had a week to himself before he began his training this gave him the perfect opportunity to Finish leveling and enter a gate he had obtained the key to.
" Alright this should be a fine place to enter the gate," said Kai and he activated the key which in turn opened the Red gate fortunately Kai was aware that this gate led him to an underground hive of Insects.
Kai entered and found himself in a dank cave light by Torches Kai began walking through the cave until a large horde of insects appeared, He quickly began to dispatch them using his Daggers, Kai didn't want to rely solely on his sword for this exercise his gold was to get all his weapons and skills to max percentage before reaching his level cap, Kai also began to sense an unfamiliar presence that of someone that doesn't belong in this dungeon.
Kai quickly made his way towards the center of the dungeon eventually arriving at the first minor boss of the dungeon.
It was a large humanoid grasshopper wielding a wicked sword and small circular buckler Kai smirked as he recognized the iconic design of the Insect Knight.

" So this must be the first boss, the warrior who is willing to sacrifice himself for his queen?" Kai asked in a cold stoic voice.
( Imagine a Raspy echoing voice from some sort of videogame boss these monsters voices will be in between pounds * like this* )
* You are not supposed to be in our nest mortal, state your name so that it will be your epitaph,* he said.
Kai cocked his head to the side." I suppose you actually have some skill to back up that claim," Kai asked him.
* Die Mortal,* he shouted lunging at Kai but before he could close the distance Kai was already above the insect knight and performing a Rolling axe kick.
" Kage-ken: Suzume-Bachi/ Shadow Fist: Bee Sting," Kai shouted as he brought his heel down in a black flash which nearly cleared the Insect Knight in half had it not used its buckler however that blow was strong enough to cut the knights shield in half.
"I see so you're competent enough to at least know how to guard," Kai said clearly unimpressed by the attack.
* Do not look down on me mortal* he hissed and lunged at Kai with his sword only for Kai to deflect it with a series of cuts from his daggers in the form of multiple black flashes as he used his dagger rush technique.
Before appearing behind the grasshopper knight.
* Impossible...no mortal...is that fast," said the grasshopper in utter shock.
Kai moved towards the exit.
* Where do you think you are going,* the insect knight hissed.
" There is no more need for me to fight," said Kai as he sheathed his daggers.
* So you have chosen pacifism,* hissed the bug.
" You are already dead." Kai said as he walked onward.
* What!* Asked the insect before suddenly multiple streaks of light cut across his body before he fell apart.
" Like I said; you are already dead," and he walked onward.
As Kai continued his levels grew higher also by this time the effects of the venom wore off and Kai had grown back to his normal strength and then some now with his strength back to normal and now at 3000% which was the max for his base level Kai was already powerful enough to defeat almost every enemy in his way.
Eventually Kai came across a large Spider which was the mid boss.
[ Mid boss: Giant Earth Spider Tsuchigumo] the voice of the Dungeon spoke.
" So it's Raidou Kuzunoha's first boss enemy; well this should be entertaining" Said Kai as he cocked his head.
Kai then proceeded to switch to his Raging Demon armor and proceeded to attack the Tsuchigumo with his armor.
" Kage-ken: Zan'ei Kyaku/ Shadow fist: Violent Shadow Leg" Kai shouted and stamped behind the Tsuchigumo's longer front left Leg Shattering each one causing the spider to howl it launched venom from its mouth however Kai swiftly dodged it with an extreme evasion.
[ Congratulations you have performed 100 extreme Evasions: you now have access to the Precision Dodge Skill: this skill doesn't require mana ] said The system notification.
" Noice!" Kai declaired internally and he proceeded to spam this skill while delivering a rush of Zan'ei Kyaku to crush the spider's legs.
It howled and multiple insects came to its aid but as swiftly as they came they were dispatched even swifter as Kai proceeded to use a Wind release Cyclone straight to tear them apart before delivering a powerful pinwheel axe kick to the spiders thorax destroying it as if he were simply squashing a normal sized bug.
Each time Kai killed an enemy he got a notification.

" So at this point I've maxed my stats, my skills have evolved, and I've achieved my level cap until I can rank up?" Kai said to himself with a smirk.
" Looks like I may just give strings a little show," said Kai.
Kai spent about seven hours in the dungeon until he found the final boss an Insect queen that looked like a giant weevil.
" Oddly enough, I'm actually Feeling like this may be a challenge," said Kai.
The queen summoned her minions And Kai summoned his Shadows who made quick work of dispatching the insects while Kai faced the insect queen.
Kai quickly evaded the enemy's attack, as his body left seven blue after images.
" Okay, let's see how you react to Chō-Shinsoku-No-Justsu!" Said Kai and he began to move so fast that it seemed like time itself slowed down before Kai Drew his sword performing a 180 degree turn he took out multiple Insects with a single cut as he shouted, " Hiten-Mitsurugi-Ryu: Ryūkansen/ Flying Heavens Sovereign Sword Style: Dragon coil Flash! " and defeated multiple enemies before rushing the insect queen who slashed at Kai with her various tarsl claws.
He saw them coming thanks to his observation being maxed out he was seeing them as if they were a slow motion movie he easily evaded them by spamming precision Dodge before appearing above The Insect queen and saying.
" Critical art: Twin Dragon Sever Flash!" And with a swift rush of cuts leaving black flashes behind them Kai swiftly cut his enemies claws off However to his surprise they grew back and came at him.
Kai in a brief moment used the Body flicker to vanish and reappear outside her peripheral and then proceeded to use a Ryūtsui-Shōsen.
The Flying Axe-Handle Slash that transitioned into a Rising Uppercut Slash was able to break the Bosses defense but still wasn't enough to defeat it, as the boss begin to transform into its second stage and somehow managed to catch Kai of Gaurd it's claws puncturing into his skin.
" Sunuvabitch," Kai cursed.
after recovering from the momentary injury Kai prepared to finalize this battle.
" Feel this!" Kai said as his hand was surrounded by flames.
" Erupting Blow!" Kai shouted punching the Insect queen with enough force to create an explosion similar to that of the Power Geyser from The King Of Fighters.
The bug hissed as most of its dismembered body parts were cauterized as the insect queen hissed Badly.
* It burnsss,* the insect queen cried out in a wicked Hiss finally speaking for the first time.
" So the queen has finally spoken?" Kai said before he rushed the enemy using a burning blow this time to deliver a huge rising corkscrew Uppercut that damaged the queen's spinner.
She cried out in pain.
Finally Kai said.
" The Battles over!" And he delivered a powerful Flying smash that created a hypersonic shockwave.
" Kami-Té-Geki/God Hand Strike!" The blow squashed the bug as simple as crushing a peanut.
Kai landed on the ground as the insects fell one by one.
The insect queen dropped an item that appeared to be a sword hilt of some kind when Kai touched it, the hilt generated a blade of solid lightning with a loud hiss before humming as the blade stood still.
[Host has now obtained The Sword of the Thunder God]
" Heh, so now I've Got a lightsaber or should it be a lightning saber, either way I should keep this hidden for the time being, after all it is one of the hidden leaf village's sacred treasures," said Kai.
He then turned and held out his hand.
" Arise!" He shouted and every enemy including the three dungeon bosses rose from their bodies as newly obtained shadows.
" Milord please Grant us names that we may serve you," said the insect knight kneeling before Kai alongside Tsuchigumo and The insect queen.
" Hmm a name for the queen her guard and her leading soldier huh...I've got just the names," I said.
" Insect queen from here on your name will be Vivian, and insect knight your name will be Lancelot and Tsuchigumo your name from here on will be Tristan," I said

" So even my Shadows got upgraded as I reached my level cap, and I've got 200 points to spend once I perform a breakthrough, This should give me something worth using during the battle that is to come," Kai said with a look of amusement in his eyes.
Kai then stepped through the dungeon exit and he returned to his home.
Much To Kai's annoyance, Neither Tenchi Sensei nor Ayeka-sensei was available to train him However he would be given a special Sensei to train him.
This Sensei was None other than the one and Only.
Ryoko Hakubi.
Kai was glad he had found that Sword when he did because he was about to need it.
For the first two days Kai and Ryoko sparred so that Ryoko could understand Kai's Strengths and weaknesses.
Ryoko found that Kai's only weakness was his reliance on Close-ranged combat, she decided to change that by having him learn her unique skill: Astral Transition.
After demonstrating the skill Kai realized how busted it was as it not only allowed the user to turn intangible but it also allowed them to fight enemies without even needing to engage them in close combat and even made it possible to break through Dimensional Jutsu Like Kamui literally Bypassing Dimensional physics.
Ryoko also taught Kai how to create a sword of energy made from his chakra..
" Hya!" Kai shouted as he slashed at Ryoko using a Ryūtsuisen which she parried he ducked under her horizontal cut while carrying her slash then did a backflip before coming at her with a sliding dash while swiping his sword in a vertical arc before it became a rising double crescent slash
" Shin-hiten-mitsurugi: Ryushōsen: Tsuki-Guruma/ Neo-Flying Heaven Sovereign Sword: Rising Dragon Flash: Moon Wheel!" As Kai performed And with the very cut he pushed Ryoko up Kai used Astral Transition to appear behind her trapping her in a rear waist lock and performing a suplex into an Inazuna-Ogoshi.
Fortunately though They were both in astral form this allowed them to spar as needed in order to master the techniques that Ryoko planned on teaching Kai.
Kai attacked Ryoko with a back fist which Ryoko stopped using her palm while attempting to put Kai in a windmill block, Kai reversed it by stepping of Ryoko 's gut before delivering a Inzui-Giri to Her head, causing her to let him go and attempt a Gaurd however at the last moment Kai teleported behind her as she thought he was going for a kick from above she turned around only to be met by two crouching crescent kicks to her legs that took her off her feet and then to be hit by a backflip somersault knee drop which Ryoko managed to evade.
" Kai watch and observe," said Ryoko as she created a ball of energy in her hand similar to how she would create her energy sword before she held her palm out gripped her forearm and shouted.
" Light Surge Gun!" She shouted blasting a target which was a large Rock spire with a Beam that ripped into the target before making a Huge explosion.
" Now you try, it's the same set up as The Light Surge Sword, but you push it out as a beam," she said..
Kai thought for a moment as he remembered the method and nodded.
He held out his palm creating a sphere of light before holding it up aiming at his target a large pillar of rock his Doing the same as Ryoko except with a slightly Lower level of explosive power due to Their difference in experience.
" Well done Kai, you got it down packed the first try," said Ryoko with an exceptional excitement.
And this was all in the first week.
For the next week Kai and Ryoko began testing the limits of Kai's ability to create variants for his Jutsu.
Kai demonstrated quite the skill in this as he created a multiple Hit version of his Burning Blow in new form he called " the Hono-Reppa-Geki/ Burning Rend-Blast Strike which is a power based three Hit version similar to the High Angle Geyser and his Hono-Rekka-Geki/ Burning Violent-Fire Strike similar to the fist of the mortal flame in Yu-Yu Hakusho this is a rapid punch variant of the attack, and due to the high level of Kai's chakra he could use about 20 of them before needing to rest.
Kai also began to learn some more fundamental Jutsu, the first was water surface walking practice.
" Today you are going to learn to walk on water," said Ryoko.
" Excuse me, did you just say...I'll be learning to walk on water" Kai said in complete disbelief.
" That's right, your learning to walk on water," she said.
" ...Okay," said Kai.
The Suimen Hokō no Gyō/water surface walking practice; requires the user to direct their chakra to the soles of their feet and balance the flow of their chakra to maintain posture on top of the flowing water, it took time for me to get it right but once he understood the method Kai pretty much had it perfected due to my level cap, after this we began water surface sparring, Ryoko was a surprisingly skilled Taijutsu expert, her fighting style reminded me of the fighting techniques used by both Kyo Kusunagi and K' ( pronounced Kay Dash) especially because she could use a teleportation technique called the Astral Flash.
Kai managed to evade the Teleporting oblique leg stomp she threw at me, but wound up Falling into the water.
After a week of this Kai had 2 more weeks before the finals and the invasion.
During that time Kai had managed to rescue Hayate from his certain demise using a Hiraishin to bring him towards my training ground but while he was here kai was under disguise.
" I need you to warn the hokagé, Hayate, In return I will protect you and Yugao, and yes I am aware of your relationship," Kai said with a scrambled voice as Hayate attempted to argue.
" Just who are you?" He asked.
" I'm someone who has been watching over this village for a while now, just call me the Ghost of Konoha, I will reveal myself eventually but for now, you can call me ashborn," Kai told him.
" Very well Ashborn How can I trust you," asked Hayate.
" I am endebted to the Hokagé, long ago, I killed a member of kumogakure in self defense, the Raikagé was furious but the hokagé helped me out by protecting me from the fury of the Raikagé, ever since I've owed him a debt, that needs to be repaid," Kai said not a lie, he did owe the Hokagé a debt for keeping his role in the Hyuga affair a secret.
" Very well, I'll do my best, But tell Me ashborn How will the hokagé recognize you," hayate asked Kai.
" Tell him that the sovereign Sword Flys above the heavens and kills those who try and kidnap the children of Konoha, he will understand who I am," Said Kai.
" As you *Cough* Wish," said Hayate.
Kai reached into his pocket and pulled out a bottle handing it to Hayate, " here this is a bottle of a medicine I take for coughs," said Kai.
Hayate was skeptical at first he poured some on his finger and took a lick, " hmm that's pretty good," he said with a feint smile.
" You noticed that you didn't cough when you said that," Kai Replied.
" Yes you're right," he said.
" Take a sip of that every hour for one day, and your cough should be cured," said Kai.
"... I'll take your word for it," he said with a smirk.
The two then parted ways.
" Burai go and stay with him until the beginning of the Finals," said Kai.
" Yes My Liege," he said.
" ..."
" Burai did...Did you just talk?" Kai asked him.
" Of course I did, I just couldn't communicate with you until Now My Child," he said.
" Oh what the hell, very well then Burai Stay in the shadows and only attack if needed, Also I grant you permission to use my newly acquired Chō-Shinsoku-No-Justsu," said Kai and suddenly a shining came over him.
" As you wish My Master," he said with a hearty laugh and sunk into the shadows of the forest before coming upon the swordsman and taking residence in Hayate's Shadow.
During the last two weeks of my training, Ryoko had me learn two of my family's signature skills, the first was a Taijutsu technique called Futae-no-kiwami.
" Listen up Kai I'm only going to explain this once," said Ryoko.
"The Futae no Kiwami enables one's strength and power to be fully utilized at its maximum output. Though its utilization can be used with all of the body, the use of it through extremities, especially the fist, is often the first part to start with when it is to be studied and mastered." said Ryoko in a stern and serious tone of voice. After she explained the training method she then began to explain the concept and methods behind said technique.
" The Futae no Kiwami's principle aspects come from understanding that all matter bears a level of resistance, and that a single blow's impact is wasted upon meeting this resistance. From this, two blows are to be acted to fully transfer this impact. With the fist, the first blow, using the proximal interphalangeal joints of the hand, meets to absorb the object's initial resistance. Then, with folding the hand immediately to switch over to the proximal phalanx knuckles, delivers the final strike to the weakened object; in addition, the two hits are to be delivered at nearly the same time, with a few milliseconds' interval. The result is the complete destruction of the object, which has no more resistance to sustain itself and collapses into dust." Said Ryoko.
" So basically I'm punching someone so fast that their body returns to the basis of creation?" Kai asked.
" Exactly your basically punching the creation out of them," said Ryoko clenching her fist.
" So how exactly do I practice this?" Asked Kai.
Ryoko smiled mischievously.
" What's with that loo- Aw No, Aw Hell No," Kai said.
For The Next Five Days Kai Experienced The Most Grudgingly Painful Sparring He'd Ever Experienced In His Life.
The final week Kai would spend Practicing everything he learned from his training against several enemies that had been spotted along Kōnōha-No-Sato.
Due to each enemy being in a secret place Kai decided to let his shadows have some fun, he let Lancelot, Morpheus, Zabuza and Haku Get some kills.
Ryoko wasn't surprised to see this as she had been observing Kai for the past month and a half ( the Chūnin exams took place within a week,) and had seen what he could do she of course knew he was aware of her presence but decided to rule his lack of taking action due to her lack of malice towards him.
Kai smiled as he was able to tell that his shadows had reached enough high of a power level to stay on his level.
" Okay, now we have gained enough reputation," said Kai as he approached the last of his enemies as the man cowered in fear, " stay back, stay away from me you Grim Reaper!" He said.
' Well that's an interesting Statement ,' thought Kai.
" Dead men tell no tales, that's why I've decided to let you live, but pass on a message to your leader, tell him that the moment he Invades Kōnōha-No-Sato, death will come for them, and along with them, the soldiers of the shinigami, Now Go On," said Kai the man was scared at first before Kai used Bloodlust "Get!" Kai Barked and the man rushed away.
Then Kai got a notification from the System as the Automated woman's voice spoke up.
[ You Have Earned A New Title: Grim Reaper,] The Systems Automated Voice Said.
" Grim Reaper Huh, I like that," Kai said while rubbing his chin with a smirk.
Kai continued Practicing his abilities in Secluded Areas until the end of the week, finally Saturday came.
And Kai stood in the area alongside His friends and fellow competitors.
" You four have made it to the finals via your own skills and determination, now we will see the results of your training paid off," said Hiruzen sarutobi.
To be continued.
