Reborn as Neji Hyuga with a system Chapter 9 - Growing up and training (part 3)

My birthday passed and was as boring as the first one. But, at least, my father told me that he will soon start to train me!

I have ten attributes points to spend. This time, I'm going to spend them between PWR and AGL since I have too many points in CHA. 'PWR+5, AGL+5'.

[You spent 10 attributes points.]

ATTRIBUTES

PWR: 23

CHA: 26

AGL: 28

Remaining Attributes Points: 0

Good, I feel even stronger now.

…

One week later.

Today, my training in the Gentle Fist fighting style officially starts.

I'm in the dojo near my house with my father.

The interior of the dojo is very large but, strangely, it is completely empty, except for five training dummies in the back. There are barred windows on the stone walls, and the floor is wooden.

"In the past two months you build your stamina by running every day, so you don't need to begin with that. I will now show you the kata of the Gentle Fist and later I will explain to you how to inject your chakra in your opponent's chakra pathway system. Observe attentively my movements." Said my father.

My father then starts to perform the kata.

He mainly uses his palms and fingers to strike, sometimes he also kicks.

I already saw two or three times other Hyuga practicing the Gentle Fist but my father's movements are more fluid, more powerful. He is a true master.

I activate my Byakugan to observe how he moves, the way he keeps his balance, and the coordination of his movements from every angle.

After a few minutes, he stops his demonstration and looks at me.

"With the Gentle Fist fighting style, we use our palms to inject chakra in our opponent's chakra pathway system and our fingers to close his tenketsu. But we are not limited to only that since we can release chakra from all of our tenketsu. We can also use the back of our hands, our elbows, our feet… Now, it's your turn. Show me what you have learned from my demonstration." He said.

Thanks to my eidetic memory, I remember each of his movements. I just need to synchronize my body with my mind.

I perform the kata…

I never fought in my previous life but in this life, I feel strong and fast. I can easily move my body. Therefore, I have no difficulty reproducing the movements my father showed me.

I finish my demonstration and turn to my father. He looks proud of me.

"Not bad but your movements lack of fluidity. It will come with time. For now, you have to practice these kata until they become natural for you." He said.

Was it meant to be a praise?

[You learned a new training skill: Gentle Fist kata.]

[Skill name: Gentle Fist kata

Level: 1/100 (0%)

Type: Training skill

Description: The movements of the Gentle Fist fighting style.

Effect: +0.1 PWR

Next level Effect: +0.1 PWR

]

Great, another training skill!

"I will train hard!" I said.

…

In the following eight months, I entered in a training routine. In the morning: workout with push-ups, sit-ups, squats and running. In the afternoon: training the Gentle Fist kata. In the evening: reading medical books and leveling up my Byakugan.

I never trained so hard! If my body was not strengthened by the system there would be no way for my two years old body to support this kind of training.

My father advised me to meditate. He told me it was important to have both a calm mind and a relaxed body to train efficiently.

So, I meditate every day and it's very helpful! It even created a training skill.

[Skill name: Meditation

Level: 1/100 (0%)

Type: Training skill

Description: Relax your body and mind by meditating.

Effect: +0.01 CHA

Next level Effect: +0.01 CHA

I also created a new training skill when I started my workout.

Fortunately, my efforts are not vain, I'm getting stronger day after day. Here the result of my intensive training:

SKILLS

Training skills

Perks

It's very strange because if I continue to practice a training skill which already reached level 100, I don't feel any change in my body. Except for meditating which is still useful to relax. But it means that to become stronger, I need to create a lot of training skills.

Objective: Accept the quest to buy the perk.

Reward: Perk <Masquerade>.

Accept: Yes / No

]

Yeah, I already thought about it. At first, I wanted to buy a seal from the shop which would help me to hide my chakra from sensor-type nin, but it would not help me against the Byakugan. A perk is exactly what I need!

'I accept the quest'.

[You spent 5000 Shop points.]

[Quest: Abnormal chakra reserve completed. Reward: Perk <Masquerade>]

[Perk: Masquerade

Effect: This perk gives you the ability to hide your true chakra level by choosing the level of chakra you want other people to see and sense. You can't totally hide your chakra. The perk doesn't work if your chakra reserve is superior to Kage level.

Restriction: -]

Good. Now let's use my new perk. 'Masquerade: Low academy student level'.

[Other people will now only see and sense your chakra as low academy student chakra level.]

Hmm, my father never used his Byakugan on me and he is not a sensor, so he shouldn't know my original chakra level.

…

I am now in the dojo with my father.

"In the past few months, you mastered the kata. Now it's time to put them into practice. From now on, we will spar together every day. Come, fight me without holding back." He said.

"Byakugan!"

I activate my Byakugan and rush to him with high speed. It surprises him for a fraction of second but he still avoids my attack.

I continue to strike with various palms attacks and kicks but he effortlessly blocks or evades everything.

I can't believe I can't hit him!

I circulate my chakra through my legs to enhance my speed. I discovered this technique not long ago, I can use my chakra to enhance my speed. However, I don't know why it's not listed as a skill by the system.

I attack faster than before and try to found a flaw in my father's movements. This time, he has to be more serious. He can't dodge as often as before and he's forced to block my attacks. However, I still can't hit him…

After a few minutes, my father tells me to stop.

"You did great. There was almost no flaw in your attacks." He said.

"But I didn't manage to hit you!" I said, disappointed with myself.

"You're still young. You lack speed and strength but more importantly, you lack combat experience. I gave you four opportunities to hit me but you didn't see them." He said.

Four opportunities? I only saw three of them and even though I saw them, I was not fast enough to land a hit on him… He didn't go easy on me.

"Anyway, the goal of this exercise was not to hit me. I wanted to see how you apply what you have learned in a real combat situation… Now it's your turn to defend and my turn to attack…" He continued.

My father puts himself in attack stance and rushes towards me.

I activate my Byakugan and prepare myself to defend against his assault.

He starts to strike, only with his palms, with moderate speed. Thanks to the system I have a very good perception. I can clearly see his movements and avoid his strikes.

He gradually increases his speed and starts kicking, I have hard time to keep up with him now…

Bang!

I'm not fast enough to avoid his strike and receive a hit on my face.

Ouch, it hurts! Thankfully, the strike was not very powerful, but I'm still on the ground pressing my hand against my face.

"Stand up! The training is not finished yet." He said.

I stand up and continue to avoid and block as many strikes as possible. I sometimes receive a hit but I try my best to ignore it and continue to focus on my father's moves.

After long minutes, it's finally over.

"Alright, we are done for today." Said my father.

…

Four months later.

[Happy birthday host. Level +1.]

[Congratulations, you are now level 7. (Attributes points +10, Shop points +5000)]

I'm now three years old!

In the past four months, I trained hard with my father. Even though it didn't increase my stats, the combat experience I gained was worth it. I mean, what the point of having a huge strength if I don't know how to fight?

I still need a lot of training, four months are not enough to gain good combat experience.

Of course, I continued to run every day. I also created a new training skill to improve my speed. I was inspired by a video I saw in my past life for this exercise. It's not that easy, I must keep my knees past my waistline while walking, running…

[Skill name: Heels over knee

Level: 1/100 (0%)

Type: Training skill

Description: Exercise in order to improve your speed.

Effect: +0.05 AGL

Next level Effect: +0.05 AGL

Endurance cost: 2 / minute

]

My training skill <Running> is now level 80 and my training skill <Heels over knee> is level 25. My Byakugan is level 21.

This year, I'm also going to train my lightning affinity and buy a justu in the shop.

[Quest name: Hyuga style.

Type: Main quest.

Description: Learn a Hyuga technique!

Objective: Buy a Hyuga technique in the shop and level it up to 10.

Reward: XP +600

]

Perfect timing! I accept the quest.

But first I must spend my attributes points. This time, I have too much PWR, so I'm going to spend them in CHA and AGL. 'CHA+6, AGL+4'.

[You spent 10 attributes points.]

ATTRIBUTES

PWR: 46

CHA: 33

AGL: 42

Remaining Attributes Points: 0

Alright, now let's see which technique I should buy. 'Shop. Search: Hyuga's techniques'.

A list of all the Hyuga's techniques appears before my eyes

Hmm…

Shit, I can't buy the techniques 'Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms' and 'Eight Trigrams: Palm Rotation', I still don't have enough PWR and AGL…

So, what else should I choose? Hmm… Not this one… Not this one… Oh, this one! 'Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm'.

[Jutsu name: Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm

This technique is not bad at all. It gives me a ranged attack and I can even make it stronger once I have mastered my lightning affinity by adding it to the technique.

]

Knowledge of the technique suddenly flows to my brain. Now, I know how to expel chakra out of my body. I don't need my father to teach me how to do it anymore!

I must level it up now. This morning, I have to train with my father, but I have time to do it in the afternoon.

Now that I grow up, I can leave the house on my own as much as I want as long as it is not night and, of course, I don't leave the Hyuga compound.

Hamari is not with me as much as before. One month ago, I asked her to "teach me to write", so whenever she's here, she teaches me.

…

After the training with my father and a good lunch, I walk to the dojo to finally start to train my jutsu.

I learned that this dojo belonged to my father, it means only him and I can use it.

Once inside the dojo, I walk to the middle of the room and start to focus.

To use the jutsu Vacuum Palm, I must gather chakra in my palm, compress it, then expel it with a powerful and fast palm thrust.

Because I bought the jutsu from the shop, I learned to do all of this. I just need to practice now, because knowing to do it doesn't mean I can do it...

After a few hours of practice and test, I think I'm finally ready to perform the jutsu.

"Vacuum Palm!"

I emit a strong wave of chakra with my palm in front of me.

I did it! But my attack just now still lacked power. I know I can do better than that.

"Vacuum Palm!"

This time, I gathered more chakra in my palm and my attack was more powerful than before.

…

One week later.

I only gained 20% of XP by training the Vacuum Palm every day, it's so slow!

Leveling it up to 10 will take a lot of time. So, I'm going to train my lightning affinity in parallel.

I remember from my past life, I read in the Wiki that to be able to use lightning release I must convert my chakra into electricity and to do that I must force my chakra to vibrate.

I gather my chakra in my hand and try to move it faster and faster in order to make it vibrate.

Nothing happen… I knew it would not be so easy…

Hmm, maybe I didn't move my chakra fast enough?

Alright, let's try again…

…

Three months… It took me three months to finally produce electricity in my hand but even now it's not strong at all, it's just a weak electric current.

I must train harder.

…

One year and a month later.

All my efforts, all my training were not vain.

In the past year, I was able to level up my Vacuum Palm to level 10 and completed the quest. Thanks to the XP gained with the quest and the level I gained during my fourth birthday, I'm now level 9!

My lightning affinity reached 55% and I'm now able to produce a strong and stable electric current in my hand. When I merge it with the Vacuum Palm, it becomes devastating! I named this technique Lightning Vacuum Palm. I know, it's not really original.

In the past few months, I experimented and created a new technique. If I release chakra from all my tenketsu and convert it to electricity, I can create a lightning cloak around me similar to the Raikage's lightning cloak. When I use it, I'm stronger, faster, and my reaction time improves. However, it's still not perfect. The technique consumes too much chakra and because it stimulates my nervous system, I get a strong headache after a few minutes of use. I must continue to train it if I want to be able to use it in a real fight.

In addition, I also sparred with my father every day and gained a lot of fighting experience. I can now fight using the true Gentle Fist technique. He trained me to target the tenketsu in order to close them and inject my chakra to someone's chakra pathway system. A few weeks ago, my father also bought me 5 kg weights. I now wear four weights (two weights on my arms and two weights on my legs) constantly under my clothes.

Of course, I didn't forget my medical training. I gathered enough knowledge in the past three years but now, the problem is to find someone who can teach me to use the Mystic Palm technique, I don't want to buy it in the shop. I asked my father who told me that I was too young and needed to train my chakra control…

During my whole training, I tried to remain as discreet as possible. No one knows what I'm really capable of. I knew lightning affinity had destructive power so I trained my lightning techniques in the forest at the rear of our clan's compound. No one ever goes there and, to be sure, I often checked with my Byakugan that no one was spying on me.

Anyway, Hinata's third birthday is in a few days now. I already thought of a lot of scenarios to save my father and I think I'm ready.

For most people in this world, today is a day like any other in their lives.

For people who live in Konohagakure, today is a day of celebration. Shinobi from Kumogakure are here to sign a peace treaty after years of war.

For members of the Hyuga clan (at least, half of them), today is a happy day. The clan's heiress is finally three years old.

For me? Today is probably going to be one of the worst days of my life.
