(Michikatsu's POV.)
The sound of pages turning filled the room, "Swoosh..Swoosh."
"At least there are new things that I can learn from these books," he thought.
"Hmm?" /*sniff..sniff*/
"Blood? But no one is here in the house except Aunt Shi, and she went to bring milk for me."
***
Michikatsu held the book in his hand.
"Hmm?" Michikatsu turned towards the door and threw the book hard. The door opened, and the ninja from Sunagakure held the book.
"Keen and sharp senses at just one year old, as expected from the son of Hatake Sakumo," said the Chunin ninja.
Michikatsu stood there without an ounce of fear. The personality of his past life was screaming inside him to run, back away, throw things, or shout, but he did none of that due to the fact that he had five hundred years of combat experience and memories of Kokushibo. This made his mind calm and cool as ice, so he didn't show an ounce of fear on his face; rather, he displayed disdain.
The Sunagakure ninja interpreted this disdain as arrogance stemming from being the son of 'Hatake Sakumo'. He immediately used the 'Body Flicker technique' and appeared behind Michikatsu.
Michikatsu instinctively avoided this, but having an instinct is one thing, and having a body that can react to that instinct is another matter. His left hand was cut, and his blood started falling to the ground. Michikatsu began backing towards the wall.
The Sunagakure ninja started walking in the direction of Michikatsu, saying, "Quite fast reflexes for a weak person like you. A weak person like you, who doesn't even have the ability to stand in the sun, has a look of disdain towards me, an Elite Chunin. You have disdain towards me because of your father, correct? Then why don't you shout for help from your father? Maybe he will come. HAHA," said the Sunagakure ninja with a cruel smile, while licking his kunai. He was standing in the blood, which made his look even more menacing.
But soon his smile turned to one of humiliation as he saw Michikatsu smiling. The Sunagakure ninja asked angrily, "What makes you laugh, boy?"
Michikatsu didn't respond, but just raised his hand, and the blood around the Sunagakure ninja gathered and covered him.
At first, the Sunagakure ninja was struck by fear after being covered by the blood, but when nothing happened, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I've heard stories that some ninjas awaken their Kekkei Genkai at death's door. Today, I was able to see this as well. It's either a weak Kekkei Genkai or it has been awakened, so you can't use its full potential."
"God is helping me too. If I give your body to Chiyo-Sama now, and she finds out I killed the son of Hatake Sakumo, who has awakened a Kekkei Genkai, my reward may be increased several times," said the Sunagakure ninja with a wide smile, even covered in blood.
However, Michikatsu's smile remained unchanged, showing no signs of diminishing.
The Sunagakure ninja was irritated after seeing Michikatsu's smile and was about to end his life. At this point, Michikatsu spoke, "You know why I am laughing? Because, no matter how powerful a ninja is, he or she can be killed with a kunai or their body is vulnerable to different elements. So, are you ready to burn?"
"Haha, a brat like you wants to burn me? Tell me, how are you going to do that? By using ninjutsu or that candle in your room?" said the Sunagakure ninja, laughing wildly.
However, Michikatsu's smile remained undiminished. Suddenly, the Chunin was hit with realization, and he looked at his hands, then turned towards Michikatsu. Michikatsu said, "Too late."
"Blood Demon Art: Combustible Blood," Michikatsu invoked.
Before the Sunagakure ninja could react, his whole body was set ablaze by red flames. He shouted, "Ahh! How can you use this powerful ninjutsu?"
Michikatsu didn't say anything but watched the Chunin ninja die, and finally, only a charred corpse of the Sunagakure ninja remained.
Michikatsu was panting heavily, "Hah..Hah, using two Blood Demon Arts one after another is too much for me. Using 'Blood Demon Art: Blood Manipulation' for the first time and 'Blood Demon Art: Combusting Blood' for the second time. The fire color of my Blood Demon Art is different from Nezuko's, maybe due to its effectiveness against humans."
At this time, Sakumo also entered the room. The first thing he saw was a charred body. Then he searched around the room to find Michikatsu sitting on the ground, covered in blood, panting heavily, and holding his left shoulder, from where Michikatsu's left hand was regrowing.
"Michi, are you alright?" Sakumo immediately came to Michikatsu and held him.
"No need to worry, father. I am fine," said Michikatsu.
"How are you fine? You are heavily injured. No, I will take you immediately to the doctor," insisted Sakumo.
"No need, father. I am fine, and my hand is regenerating. It will be fully regenerated by morning," reassured Michikatsu.
Sakumo came to his senses and looked at Michikatsu carefully. When he saw that Michikatsu wasn't injured much and his hand was slowly regrowing, Sakumo let out a sigh of relief and asked, "You killed this person?"
"Yes," said Michikatsu.
