Soryu Style: Destructive Death: Compass Needle!
Slowly, the tips of my fingers started to emit a dark blue wisp, and the same happened for my leg toes.
Unlike Akaza's extraordinary visual effects of this style, mine was just this simple.
Compass Needle. I was still unsure how it worked completely, but right now, the world in my eyes was gray, and the only thing that was different was the image of Tsunade, who was bathed in a yellow and green aura that was fluctuating in random directions.
From the little info I had analyzed and had on this technique before recreating it, it allowed me to sense a person's fighting spirit or a person's will to fight, which I could use to achieve numerous effects while in combat.
So, that yellow and green aura was probably her fighting spirit.
As for the effects while using this, firstly, I was able to determine the strength of anyone at a glance, which was useless because I could already gauge out anyone's strength levels easily. But who knows, maybe it would come in handy if I encountered someone who could conceal their aura just like how Katsuyu told me she could do it, so maybe some people out there also could do it too.
Secondly, I was able to detect the presence of my opponents in my immediate surroundings, even in my blind spots, which was strange to 'see' as if I had eyes on my back.
But if I said so myself, it was still not that useful, as my senses already had that kind of function and my nose could smell danger a kilometer away. But if her fighting spirit now could mean anything, then she would appear behind me, so that probably meant that I could use this martial arts to predict where and how my opponents would strike me next.
I had to say, this was like how Observation Haki was described, and I felt quite delighted.
The whole point of me recreating this martial arts was to keep up with people that had speed to their advantage while I remained in my weakest form, which is the human form.
Since I don't want to use my stronger forms in this fight, then precognition is a must.
Right now, I could see some few strange light red dots around her body that moved and changed places with every intention and movement she made. I could say that those dots were probably her weak points and openings ready to take advantage of.
One of the strange effects of this martial arts was my fists were strangely getting drawn toward those red dots on their own, which indicated that my instincts had amplified and my body was on a semi-autopilot or battle mode.
One of the drawbacks though was how my way of breathing instinctively changed, and it was like I was inhaling small wind needles that were piercing my lungs and forcefully activating more cells of my brain than it should. It was painful but not totally unbearable, as my pain tolerance was top notch, so pain of this level, even though slightly distracting, was nothing.
'Also, my stamina is being consumed real fast because of the constant and slight regeneration of my lungs and brain which were being used at full capacity in a very non-efficient and brutal way that caused damage. And I don't want to depend that much on Katsuyu for sending Nature Energy to my body and recharging my lost stamina.' I thought as I looked at the fluctuations of Tsunade's fighting spirit change, which made me ready to make my next move before her.
With an arrogant grin plastered on my face, I pulled my right hand backward and clenched it tight. "Take this!" I said which made her more vigilant and put on her guard expecting something like Rankyaku to be sent toward her.
Soryu Style: Destructive Death: Air Cannon!
[Picture]
I punched forward with my fist, leaving a trail of dark blue until my arm was fully stretched. I felt I had hit some kind of barrier, which was the compressed air reacting to my shockwave-like punch.
Finally, I stood in this position with a satisfied smile and... waited.
She looked at me in confusion and relaxed a little as nothing seemed to happen. "Nothing happ—AGHHHH!!" Tsunade muttered but immediately shouted in pain as a solid ball of air hit her left shoulder, which was still healing even after using the Mystic Palm technique.
She was sent some meters backward due to the force, which made her unbalanced and disoriented.
Seeing this, I did nothing but feel absolutely like a genius as I stretched my lips and grinned.
"I am good." I nodded at myself.
"You really never stop amazing me, Garou-sama. You are truly amazing!" Katsuyu glazed on top of my head, which made me raise my chest in pride more.
"Ez."
"Anyways, I figured you don't want her to know about your true nature, so I suggest you shouldn't let her go like this and continue sending those air projectiles until she is down before she starts to fight back, because this time she will probably not hold back against you!" Katsuyu said with a small peculiar smile as she rested on my head in her human form and looked at the disoriented Tsunade with interest in her eyes.
'Ruin that woman for me Garou-sama~' Katsuyu thought with a dreamy face.
"I know, you don't need to tell me," I replied as I focused back on my stance and got ready to send more of those invisible air cannons.
*Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!*
I punched the air four times so fast that it seemed as if my arms didn't move from their place, but you couldn't be more wrong, as four invisible air cannons headed toward Tsunade, who slowly came back to her senses and quickly jumped and ran toward another side as she saw what I did.
*Bam Bam Bam!*
The air cannons hit some trees behind her and immediately destroyed the tree trunks.
Ziiiiiii!!
My senses alarmed me, and I quickly crouched to dodge a kunai attack aiming for my shoulder behind me with difficulty. I then reacted by grabbing the hand holding the kunai, and after that, with some strength put into my grip, I broke the hand, and the person behind puffed out of existence.
I didn't get distracted as I felt the fluctuations of Tsunade's fighting spirit change continuously. "The front?" I muttered as I predicted her next movement in a matter of milliseconds and delivered a front kick where Tsunade would most likely appear, which she did a second later and got herself in front of the kick unintentionally.
*Pawww!!*
"GAGHHH!" She shouted in pain while coughing some blood out, and she got thrown away again far from here because my kick wasn't just any normal kick, as I made sure to also send an air cannon with it.
Yep. Another plus of this technique was that I could send invisible air cannons or shockwaves with every part of my body, which I would take advantage of to my heart's content.
Her flying body hit a tree a hundred metre away, made a dent in it and then stopped.
I took a look at Tsunade, who was sitting while leaning on the tree behind her. She had a shadow hiding her face and a trail of blood visible on her mouth. Amidst the gentle breeze that made the leaves of the trees scatter and the dust to disperse, she wiped the blood from her mouth and stood up slowly.
She suddenly gave me a glare. "I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU!" she shouted, and her hands blurred. "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" she shouted again, and then out of nowhere, a huge fireball headed toward me.
Big mistake, because that jutsu, hasn't ever killed or genuinely harmed anyone.
I looked at the beautiful fireball that came out of her mouth and now headed toward me with incredible speeds, but still nothing to worry about, as big things like this were easy to dodge. But why dodge when I could use this situation to recreate more moves?
So I quickly moved my clenched hands beside my core and...
Soryu Style: Destructive Death: Eight-Layered Demon Core.
[Picture]
*Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.*
My arms blurred, and I unleashed eight powerful punches, each strike creating large and strong invisible balls of shockwaves that traveled fast toward the huge fireball until the two forces collided.
*BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!*
The shockwaves immediately pushed back the fireball and made it explode before getting closer to me.
Ziiiiii!!
My amplified senses went haywire again.
'Front, back, right, and left!' I thought really fast as my new precognition-like abilities warned me of the threat, and I immediately manipulated every muscle from my right arm and made it move like a wave, then hit the ground with as much strength as I could muster.
Hasshoken!
*BOOM! PLOP, PLOP, PLOP!*
The ground under my punch tore apart, and some ripple-like effects generated from my fist, which were the vibrations caused by the shockwaves my fist produced, making a web of fractures spread across the ground for over fifty meters all around me.
Dust and debris swirled in the air, caught in the shockwave of my mighty blow.
I smirked as the four shadow clones of Tsunade puffed out of existence because of my punch's impact.
Ziiiiii!!
"Heavenly Foot of Pain!" I heard a shout, but even with my amplified senses that saw the attack a mile away, my body simply couldn't react to her in time. She was using all of her mid-jonin physique with body flicker on top of it, while I stayed low-jonin with only precognition and footwork on my side.
But I still tried to dodge, which made her heel hit my shoulder instead of my head.
*BOOM!*
"Arghhh!"
The already destroyed crater under my feet got shattered more, and our surroundings got decimated.
After some time, now I lay on the ground face forward and grimaced as my shoulder and some of my ribs were broken now by her kick.
'Fuck Body Flicker,' I thought in annoyance.
"Huff, huff! You are down finally, I win–"
I didn't let her finish what she had to say. Ignoring the pain, I quickly did a handstand spin on the ground, then jumped toward her using my hands to close the distance and deliver a spinning double kick aiming for her stomach.
Soryu Style: Leg Type: Disorder.
[Picture]
*PAW! BAM!*
Using her palm, she blocked the shockwave-mixed kick that surely must have cracked some of her hand bones.
She was about to retaliate, but I didn't let her and stopped my body from falling to the ground using my right hand. I did a handstand spin next to deliver another kick, but this time to her head.
*PAW! BAM!*
She blocked the kick again with her forearm, but she obviously couldn't block the shockwaves and vibrations of my kick, which made her disoriented and back away groggily.
I immediately jumped and landed on my feet, then dashed toward her to engage in close combat.
Realizing what I was doing, she quickly adjusted herself to deliver a chakra-enhanced punch, but she was unbalanced and still recovering from my kick. So I just simply dodged and was about to use another Soryu technique... but when I looked at her pained expression, I stopped from continuing using the technique and just used a normal but powerful punch to her stomach, which made her cough all the air inside her lungs out.
She tried to retaliate again quickly by striking and delivering some chakra-enhanced punches, which I easily dodged and countered with my own normal strikes that some hit her and some she dodged with difficulty.
I slowly lost my smile as I looked at her becoming more pathetic by the second.
*Paw, paw!*
I punched her face twice, which made her spit out blood. "Your internal organs are not in a good condition, so we better stop and heal yourself," I said.
Her fighting spirit was diminishing, and the fact that I didn't let her heal herself from those internal injuries caused by my shockwaves made her appear more exhausted.
"I.. I hafe to... tak u dawn," she said incoherently and punched again, which I just dodged. Again she punched and continued to punch, which I easily dodged all of them easily and punched her back sometimes, which made her fighting spirit get weaker and weaker.
"You underestimated me too much," I said with a shake of my head. "Your victories till now made you arrogant and think no one will beat you in a fight, which I will admit, if someone less skilled than me fought you, they wouldn't be able to last long," I said.
*Paw!*
"Aghhh!"
I punched her in the face again, breaking her nose in the process.
"You might wanna fix that. We don't want you having a crooked nose. You are already greedy for money, but having a nose like that on top of it?" I said as I slowly went back to breathing normally and stopped sending oxygen to my brain forcefully, as I no longer needed to bother using the Soryu Shiki martial arts.
*Paw!*
"Gahhhh!"
I punched her in the stomach, which made her spit out saliva mixed with blood. "You have power but don't know how to utilize it to its maximum potential, and you fight like a thug, which is very disappointing, as I expected more from my wife and a princess of the Senju clan! Maybe I will have to drill some of my moves into you." I said with a smirk, which made her grit her teeth.
"I..was n..not s..serious fighting y..you!" she said with difficulty, her face now black and blue and blood running all over her face.
*Paw!*
"Gahhh!"
I punched her face again, which made her back away until her back hit a tree. "Hooo, so you think I was serious all the while I fought you?" I said, which made her look at me and tremble slightly as weakness was slowly catching up with her because of the accumulated injuries.
'If only I had my grandfather's Kekkei Genkai, I could regenerate from this in seconds.' Tsunade thought bitterly.
"I didn't even go all out and use my main martial arts against you, otherwise I myself wouldn't even know how you would end up in the process." I said with a shrug, which made her look at me as if I was lying or something.
I admit that the Soryu Shiki martial arts was powerful with its array of techniques and versatility, like sensing the intent and fighting spirit of someone, but it still was not as powerful as the Whirlwind Water Stream: Roaring Aura Sky Ripping Fist, and its only advantage in this specific situation was the long-range attacks. Otherwise, besides the precognition abilities you got from it, it was nothing special, and a very skilled person could counter most of its moves, unlike this noob who was caught off guard.
I had to add to the fact too that I only recreated this art for a situation where I got myself into a disadvantaged fight with a muscle head like her, where I wouldn't need to fight in close combat and could just fuck them up from far away, even though the point of this martial art was close combat.
*Paw!*
"Aghhh!"
I punched her again in the face just because I was bored.
"Fight is over. Heal yourself," I said.
She looked at me with deep resentment after spitting out a tooth and blood without saying anything for a few moments before she slowly put her hand on her injured parts and used her Mystical Palm jutsu on herself.
After waiting for ten minutes of healing, she was as good as new.
'Now is the best chance to use another technique I love to use every time I fight Dai.' I thought as I secretly got ready and manipulated every muscle in my right arm in weird directions until I created a momentum and sent it toward my index and middle finger, then rushed toward Tsunade real quick and raised my hand to strike an artery near her heart.
"By the way, how can you still use your broken shoulder–" She turned her head up, about to say something, but I didn't let her.
Tai Lung: Leopard Style: Nerve Attack.
As I moved closer to a bewildered Tsunade who didn't expect a sudden attack from me, my index and middle finger crackled with a blue-colored wisp. I grinned as I jabbed her right boob.
*Poww!*
"Blurgghhhhhhh!"
She coughed, and her eyes rolled back. Then immediately, as if her strings had been cut, she fell and hit the ground... paralyzed.
*slap!*
I slapped her ass.
~Boing~
The End.
