Learning Swift Release (1)

Hyuga Manor

As the commotion died down, the branch family members finally found out the reason the damsel ran away from the hero. As it turned out, Hyuga Kaori took care of Hyuga Akihiko when he fell into a coma. The young and inexperienced Kaori wanted love and attention from the young Jonin who fell into the same age gap as her.

In her mind, they were perfect for each other, besides with such powerful husband at a young age, she'll have a bright future ahead of her. Logically speaking, she wanted to use him to climb the social ladder since it was already guaranteed that Akihiko would become an Elite Jonin. Unfortunately for the maiden, Akihiko was not interested, even if he was; he lacked emotions to reciprocate her so called affection.

The elders in the branch house that heard about couldn't help but sympathize with the Chuunin Kunoichi. As elders, they knew that Akihiko was a Root member, love was almost deleted from their brain. It was natural that the Kunoichi didn't know what the Root was, nor its members so it was normal that she was heartbroken.

Obviously, not many knew that he was in the Root. Only the elders of the Branch and Main family knew about this. It will be bad if the Hyuga clan knew that they sold a genius away to the Root. A backlash could be the best outcome, since a genius might be afraid that they'll sell him away just like that certain senior. The Hyuga elders were not going to risk it, as it might affect their public image.

Hyuga Kaori who knew nothing of his circumstance cried for a while before falling silent. She sat at her residence and contemplated for a while. It was at this moment of reflection that she found out about her true self. No, rather, part of her true self. She didn't actually love him so why did she cry when he spoke coldly to her?

It's not that he owed her anything in the first place, besides she just jumped into his life thinking that her ideas were also his ideas. She was greedy, she was prideful, she masked her true self in kindness, compassion, and naivity such that she even fooled herself.

She had received indulgence from even the Main family that unconsciously swelled her pride, thinking that things where meant to happen her way, so far as she showed them her charming side. It can be said that this girl was truly inexperienced, and didn't know the cruelty of the Shinobi World. Her charade could actually work very well in Akihiko's former world, but here…

The truth is that, with the protection of the Hyuga clan no one dared to harbour thoughts on her…yet…

She thinks that she could climb the way with her guile, but no matter how you scheme, it will be useless in front of absolute power. What if a certain Jonin takes fancy to her adorable expressions and uses underhanded methods to rape her? By then, even the self righteous Hyuga wont say a thing since they didn't want to offend a Jonin over an insignificant girl in the Branch House.

There were a lot of similar examples that will ruin her life if she followed this path, however ignorance was truly bliss….

Releasing a terrifying laugh, Kaori decided that what she couldn't have must be destroyed!! No one could have thought that the cute Kaori could release such an expression, truly eye opening. This is why you can never judge a Ninja through face value. Akihiko noticed this trait at first glance since he has met many of her kind, as they say 'There's nothing new under the Sun'.

.....

In this way an unamusing week quickly flashed by…

Nothing note worthy happened in this rare week of peace. Akihiko was having a head ache though, as Danzo had made him his personal 'boy' that was always close to him. After knowing that a 16 year old was already an elite Jonin with Kage level potential, Danzo had invested all he could into Akihiko.

And he's expression this days were very good! He had hit the jackpot with Akihiko, gloating about the Hyuga clan menacingly, Danzo was on an all time high.

During one of the daily training sessions with Akihiko, Danzo gave him a B rank Lightning Style Jutsu to learn, and he was amazed at the results, since in less than a half a day Akihiko had learnt the technique. What a terrifying talent!! Not at all inferior to Kakashi if he nutured him well.

Danzo made sure to train Akihiko extensively, since he himself could not participate, he had 5 Elite Jonins battle Akihiko constantly. Even if Akihiko was thankful for the timely battle experience he urgently needed, it was getting him irritated as time passed. Akihiko deliberately revealed some of his talent for the relentless nurturing by Danzo, but he didn't expect that Danzo would be this enthusiastic about the whole thing.

He had underestimated Danzo's drive for the Hokage title, but he could keep up with it for as long as he wanted. Danzo also noticed that he's protegee had become too indifferent, showing no emotion, but he didn't mind it much because in this way he could be more devoted to his cause. Danzo felt pride for having such a masterpiece.

Danzo was also filled with ambition since Akihiko could freely use all 5 elements just like Hiruzen Sarutobi, this opened new possibilities for Danzo since he could use Akihiko to effectively surpress the old Hokage. Then he'll he unstoppable. Laughing heartily, Danzo was giddy the whole week.

Another matter that pleased him greatly was the approaching demise of the Uchiha clan. He had already planned out the whole scenario, all he'll need to do now is to pressure his old friend a little.

...

Forest of Death

In the spot that Akihiko left various clones of his….

A small hill with countless trees that obscured the suns rays stood out.

Meanwhile, underneath this beautiful hill, a base of operation was set up. It beared similarities to the Research aspect of Danzo's laboratory, though nothing was here at the moment. However the outline of the base was already made. Surrounded by seals that effectively isolated the base from sensory skills, One of Akihiko's clone abruptly opened it eyes!

It had almost figured out the key to Swift Release. So without wasting time it killed itself. This was done so that all the other clones will have the same experience that particular clone had. It was an effective method that was very clever.

Swift Release is the combined nature transformation Kekkei Genkai created by fusing Wind Release with Lightning Release. By infusing the mixture of wind and lightning chakra into their bodies, the user is able to simultaneously energize their nervous system as well as remove the friction cause by air around them, this is practically removing air resistance, this in turn grants them unparalled speed that is directly proportional to the strength of their physical bodies.

There's of course a limit to this because even if there's no friction with air, the body won't be able to withstand such movement.

If someone like Might Guy on the Gate of Death uses Swift Release....

Laughing nervously, Akihiko quickly rid this immoral thought from his head. "What the fuck?" He's mind really works wonders.
