Konoha: The Legend of Kiba
Chapter 3 Sudden Situation
"What are you doing?" Kiba frowned.
He could feel the chakra gathering on the girl's palm, if that palm were to hit him, he would probably start bleeding on his face.
No! bleeding was only the best outcome of it, in worst case scenario this can even crack his jaws. Kiba was a little annoyed.
"Let go of me!" The girl in her arms yelled and then tried to slap him in the face again. Kiba moved out of the way again, but this time he was tad a bit slower and as a result the right side of his face was in hot pain, feeling embarrassed by being hit Kiba yelled "you!"
But as soon as he spoke, he felt the chakra point of Seimon slowly closing, and with that waves of fatigue surged up. As soon as his grip on the girl lessened, she slipped down.
The Gate of Life mode was off. The amount of chakra has also returned to its original level. Although the staying Eight-Gate chakra mode is less stressful on the body compared to opening of Eight-Inner Gates, there is still a limit to the eight-door mode, and it seems that this limit should be one's own physical strength.
"After all, I just controlled the eight chakras, not changing the essence of the technique". Mused Kiba.
If you don't have enough physical strength to keep the Gates open, the Eight-inner Gates chakra mode will get closed. Therefore without the corresponding physical strength, one will not be able to maintain it.
"It seems there is still room for improvement in this technique". Although exhausted, Kiba still calmly analyzed. He quietly let out a sigh of relief. "I thought this mode could only be maintained for a short period of time. From a point of view, as long as I continue to exercise my body and improve my physical strength it should not be impossible for me to keep the corresponding Gate open continuously for a long period. Just like how Guy could continuously keep the seventh gate open". Thought Kiba.
As one's physical strength improves, the eight-Gate mode will last longer. Without needing to open the seventh Gate, it might become a standing mode. Now, with only the third Gate opened, Kiba has quasi-Jonin level chakra. With the fourth Gate opened, he would have Jonin level chakra. Thinking of this, Kiba became excited, and even his physical fatigue weakened. What made him even happier was that when the life Gate mode was released, his body didn't feel the slightest injury, and the chakra burst with such an electric punch just now didn't cause any damage. In other words, Seimon mode is completely safe!
While Kiba was analyzing the pattern of the eight Gates, the young lady of the Hyuga clan, who had slipped from Kiba's hand, rolled to the ground, turned over abruptly, and stood up, pushing him with an elbow. Kiba suddenly realized that the tenketsu at his core was closed; his body was so weak that even if he sensed the palm, he was powerless to avoid it. Seeing the aggressive look of the eldest lady and the Gentle Fist stance, the corners of Kiba's mouth twitched. She is attacking me with eight trigram palm; can I hold on in this situation?
At this moment, Kiba knew there was only one option. He closed his eyes and steeled himself. Hyuga Yukina had already launched her attack with the Eight Trigrams Palm. "Stop! We're from the same village!" Kiba shouted, hoping to break through her focus.
Hyuga Yukina's face was a mask of determination, her Byakugan activated. The veins around her eyes bulged, signifying her heightened perception. With swift and precise movements, she thrust her palm forward, aiming directly at Kiba's chest. "Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"
Each strike landed with pinpoint accuracy, targeting Kiba's tenketsu points and disrupting the flow of chakra within his body. He barely managed to remain standing, the relentless barrage of chakra-infused strikes making it hard to breathe. As her hands moved with blinding speed, Kiba's mind raced, desperately searching for a way to explain himself.
With the final strike, Hyuga Yukina stopped, her frosty gaze fixed on Kiba. The air between them crackled with residual energy from her attack. Kiba, now weakened and struggling to stay upright, looked into her snow-white eyes, outlined by the intricate patterns of her Byakugan. "Please, listen... I'm not your enemy," he managed to say, his voice strained.
Hyuga Yukina's eyes narrowed, but she hesitated, her hands still raised and ready for another attack. The tension in the air was palpable, each second stretching into eternity as she considered his words.
She saw the ninja who had fallen to the ground from a 360-degree angle of view. It was the ninja who had suddenly attacked her! In an instant, she gleaned the relationship. This person saved me? Looking at the big pit with a diameter of one meter and at Kiba, who was looking at her palm with a pale face in front of her, she frowned! There was no one else here; he should be the one who saved her. But this person, no matter how you look at it, doesn't seem like someone with such strong power! That big hole was obviously punched out by someone; what kind of power is this?
Through her white eyes, Hyuga Yukina could see the chakra flowing in Kiba's body. Judging by the amount, it was very ordinary, much worse than her own. Although the musculature is strong, it is absolutely impossible to punch such a punch! But he was the only one present, and the facts were before her eyes. "That...Miss, look..." Kiba pointed to the slender hand on his chest and tried his best to show a smile of "We're from the same village."
Hyuga Yukina frowned. This person? Really the one who saved me? He doesn't look strong at all! Even very weak! Looking into the suspicious eyes of the young lady, Kiba offered a wry smile. Despite saving others, their mistrust weighed heavily on him. He felt a sense of helplessness wash over him.
However, Hyuga Yukina, who had cleared her mind, withdrew her palm, and the coldness on her pretty face gradually faded away. "I misunderstood you, sorry." She bowed slightly. "Also, thank you for saving me." Kiba breathed a sigh of relief, seeing Hyuga's sincere apology and thanks. Some of the misunderstood dissatisfaction in his heart also slowly subsided.
At this time, Kiba also had the opportunity to take a closer look at the young ladies of the Hyuga family. He saw her delicate face, as white as jade, like a porcelain doll, with long black and beautiful hair reaching to her waist, with a little baby fat, wearing a white kimono-like dress; only her arms were exposed. The skirt on the lower body reached exactly one-third of the thigh, slightly longer than the leggings, and under the black leggings, sheer stockings wrapped two white and tender thighs, and a pair of clogs were worn on her jade-like feet. Just because she had fallen to the ground just now, it caused a little dust.
"Crack..." At this time, there was a faint sound from the other side of the big pit. The two looked at each other warily. Seeing this, both of them were surprised. The skin color of the ninja in that big pit turned into a loess color and then turned into a pool of loess. Earth Release clone! Kiba and Hyuga Yukina had the same thought.
"Hiding Like a Mole Technique!" At this moment, a crack suddenly opened in the ground behind the two of them, attacking them! Almost at the same time, they jumped away to the left and right, dodging when the crack was about to reach them.
"Earth Release, Rock Pillar Prison!" Just when Hyuga Yukina jumped to the ground, four rocks suddenly stood up beside her, locking her inside. Oops! Kiba glanced at Hyuga Yukina in mid-air, screaming inwardly. It's that Ninja! At this moment, Kiba's body was weak, and he tried his best to avoid the leap that cracked the ground and turned his palms. After landing, he almost fell to the ground. He gritted his teeth and stood still, but his feet were trembling a little.
Kiba turned around, his face darkened. Behind him was the ninja who was hit by his punch. The situation sucks! Kiba looked at Hyuga Yukina, who was imprisoned by four rocks a little farther to the right, and then looked at the ninja in front of him. The life Gate mode is closed, his stamina is exhausted, and the eldest lady is also trapped... And this ninja, seeing his two consecutive ninjutsu just now, there is no doubt that he must be a Jonin! Really, the worst-case scenario!
