'What are these question marks?" Yoichi mused, propping a hand on his chin.
Since the start, his system has been completely lifeless.
At first, Yoichi was okay with how things were going well. The charm attribute wasn't that big of a deal.
However, two panels with undefined characteristics were clearly indicated which left Yoichi in thoughtfulness.
"It could be another attribute waiting for the right passive to be unlocked."
Yoichi shrugged, closing the panel before he saw innumerable passive abilities within the system.
These bad boys are right here proved that I made it.
From point A to point B, these hadn't failed him all this time. In fact, the Prismatic Abilities drove his capability to an unimaginable degree.
Regular Martial Artists don't have any kind of power-ups and are heavily dependent on their realms, special techniques, or irregular constitutions.
Only blood, sweat, and tears are their trusted partner with the demanding path of Martial Arts.
But what about Yoichi?
He was being fed on a silver platter, only waiting to graze in the green fields of grass like a sheltered cow.
Sure, he had to bring something to the table like his efforts and hardships.
However, no one could deny that his system truly brought a drastic shift in his direction. Instead of fumbling in the enigmatic path of Martial Arts, the system was a light, extinguishing any blind spots in his mysterious tracks.
And that's why he was always thankful.
Come to think of it, these passive abilities made me realize how they are very advantageous for my path.
"Yoichi! Let's hang out!"
Looking at the abilities, Yoichi mulled a bit before knocking sound along with a familiar voice was heard.
"Do you need something again?"
Opening the entrance, Yoichi saw Jiraiya as well as an irritated Tsunade and Orochimaru behind him.
"Again? You're too mean, Yoichi... Do you actually think I am a bum asking for something from a friend?" Jiraiya felt upset.
Off to the side, Orochimaru and Tsunade peeked at Jiraiya like a joke.
During those 6 months, Jiraiya's odd habits became clearly conspicuous to the point that no one would honestly believe his rambunctious statements.
"Research again, right? If you have any time to waste; well, I don't." Yoichi walked out as he glanced at the two.
"Hey, don't look at me like that! I was– I was just dragged by this fool." Tsunade vehemently interjected, glaring at Jiraiya with irritation.
"Likewise," As detached as ever, Orochimaru also responded.
"Come on now, let's enjoy this summer while it lasts." Jiraiya urged.
"Alright then... Let's head out." Yoichi took the white coat, dressing up in an instant.
"Hahaha! That's great! Now, we're assembled like a team!" Jiraiya was elated.
I wonder what this perverted idiot has in store for us... Tsunade pondered.
At this point, she would preferably be at home relaxing rather than being in the middle of the scorching sunlight.
However, plans couldn't keep up with reality.
Therefore, the 4 set out for something that even Yoichi did not know with Jiraiya in the lead, hopping in the road on top of his spirited smile.
...
...
...
"Jiraiya! Is this your plan you came up with? We've been walking under this blistering sunlight for minutes now!"
After strolling down, the group of 4 heads out as Tsunade's face dimmed, feeling impatient.
"I swear it will be something! Look over there!" Jiraiya pointed in the direction.
Looking at the route, the three couldn't resist being interested.
In that direction, numerous children swarmed with symbols on their backs, seemingly watching something that piqued the three's inquisitiveness.
"It appears there's a fight going on!" Tsunade's eyes lit up.
Without any entertainment and only training in their lives, this occasion was truly appreciated.
Not only that, the symbols signified something even deeper in meaning: top-tier families' descendants are fighting for an unknown purpose.
"Beat that arrogant kid, Tenjin!"
"Hah! Nothing beats our strength, even if you cry and wallow! Just be a good dog for the Hokage."
"What are they fighting for? I am not sure..."
Amongst the cheers and mockery, the children around uniformly encircled the arena while the two combatants fought with Sharingan and Byakugan activated as if it were a life-and-death scenario.
The brawl between the two children felt domineering yet entertaining to watch since both of them appeared to be experienced, more likely to be talented shinobi previously exposed to lethal missions or killing based on their expertise in hand-to-hand action.
"Would you look at that, Uchiha and Hyūga are fighting in Taijutsu!" Jiraiya commented with a gleeful smile.
That child...
Back then, Yoichi was being tested by Kohaku and his associates against an emotionless boy.
Now, the memories being recalled came straight to his mind before he thought about it.
"Any closeness to this child?" On the side, Orochimaru noticed Yoichi's contemplative state.
"That's the one who pushed me to the limit when I first came here," Yoichi replied.
"What are the results? Did he beat you into submission?" Jiraiya's eyes shone while Tsunade and Orochimaru darted at Yoichi.
Yoichi sighed, "It was a draw."
Hearing this, Tsunade and Jiraiya's eyes widened. Correspondingly, Orochimaru nodded in agreement.
"You mean... You fought that already monstrous child and almost won?" Jiraiya subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
'As expected of him, his experiences actually pale in comparison to ours.' Tsunade mulled but her eyes were filled with admiration.
"What the hell?! Tsuyoshi lost?!"
"Tenjin won! Hahaha, Byakugan is the best!"
Once they heard the voices of doubt, the 4 glanced and saw that the Uchiha Child was on the ground, defeated by a cold-faced Hyūga child.
"Is this your best, Uchiha?"
Tenjin's resounding voice rang, laced with undisguised contempt.
"Tsuyoshi, are you alright?" One of the Uchiha children helped him.
"... I'm fine!' Tsuyoshi slapped his helper's concerned hand.
His menacing aura with pure white eyes made the Uchiha instinctively back away from the scene, still angry yet helpless do to anything else.
Is this really the "conservative" Hyūga? Why do I feel like it was a pretentious one rather than the latter?
On the side, Yoichi frowned.
In the materials written by Kishimoto, Hyūga's characteristics felt modest in Yoichi's belief, an opinion he caught up according to what he saw in the anime or manga materials.
But now, this pretentiousness and sky-high superiority were plastered right before Yoichi's eyes, a little bit thoughtful in a brief moment.
It could be an ego thing or someone provoked his clan... After all, these Hyūga children have a sense of belonging and arrogance in their bones as a part of the top-tier clan.
"Hey, you!" Tenjin noticed the child and pointed at him, "You are Yoichi, right? The genius of your clan? Why not come here and fight?"
"We're saved! Beat him up, Yoichi!"
"Foolish Uchiha, are you actually putting your faith in a 5-year-old child? How pathetic!"
"Yeah, the gap is too big! Tenjin is roughly a Chūnin now while this brat only went to the Academy for what? Less than 1 year?!"
The kids around glanced at Yoichi with different expressions on their faces. Some of them felt ecstatic while others threw disdainful eyes.
"A fight huh... Alright." Yoichi gave his neck a good stretch before slowly walking in.
"Hoy! Are you really sure? That guy looked like a Chūnin and a real one too!" Jiraiya grabbed Yoichi's shoulders, stopping him in his tracks.
"It is a good demonstration of Martial Arts, no?" Orochimaru flashed a smile.
"Precisely." Yoichi snapped his fingers.
"Furthermore, let's say that I'm bored with our training. Perhaps this thing might scratch my battle itch. Just watch me."
Without further ado, Yoichi sauntered off while Tsunade glanced at him with admiration and a little bit of expectation.
A man should be like this! Similar to my grandfather, he took on the hard task without any complaints. Tsunade thought as the silhouette of Yoichi shone brilliantly in her eyes.
