(End of Author's announcement)

Only one week left until the fight! I started consuming as much food as I could process, and while I was doing that, I started coming up with theories about the different bloodlines. Kekkei Genkai for example is inheritable in the family thus it means that unlocking it change your genetics and cells structure! I started remembering things that I've studied in 8th grade when I was at school, cell structure, differences between animal and plant cells. I remembered a lot of the components of the cell and their job. For the Akimichi technique the best thing to increase is the mitochondria in which break the chemical juice and make ATP, it increases the speed in which your body can store the energy.

I would not customize my body for one technique, thus I started thinking of all the possibilities! I only need to modify a small sample of my stem cells and stabilize them, kill the other stem cells and induce the modified cells with a huge amount to multiply over a period of time. The process will be painful and lengthy, but it will be a customized bloodline, something never existed before!

I proceeded in writing down what I need and how I will achieve it. I need to process more energy in the shortest time period ever; which is doable by adding a bigger quantity of mitochondria into specific cells which include muscles. I need a better recovery rate thus cell devision, which needs more energy and faster division material processing; which could be done by adding more centrioles.

I started tweaking more things in the cells, increasing nervous system signal transmitting speed, cell sizes and resistance to pressure, cell division, enzymes production, cellular control, power, processing power and limb regeneration, and much more! I even added some of the plant cell components and started experimenting if it works or not! I modified a cell and tried to get it to divide but it ended up dying. Countless tried later I finally got one to divide! The cell was full of Yang energy, now if I make it produce more of itself and remove all the other stem cells, my body should be reconstructed by itself as cells die, those stem cells will change and turn to the design I chose!

I started removing my stem cells, my bone morrow and in hurt very much! The price I must pay for such power was withstanding immeasurable pain even worse than breaking all your bones, and I need to keep eating while doing that to make sure I had enough energy! This was the first time the pain was enough to make my eyes tear, but I kept on eating and eating and soon the tears were misunderstood because people thought I was crying while eating because I am scared of Fū. People started to talk to me about it, trying to comfort me and I was having none of that! Not only do I have to withstand this pain, I have to withstand their annoyance.

I acted composed removing the tears from my eyes then looked everyone in the eye one by one and said that I will win the match easily, if they needed to comfort someone it should be Fū who is going to lose his life tomorrow. Attending clansmen were shaking, some were in happiness and others were in fear while the rest were in awe.

I kept on eating nonstop for two days, only four are left until the match, thus I started the second step which is deconstructing my own muscles and body tissues and then making the stem cells to rebuild them, this way the old regular human cells will die and the new one will take their place. The process of deconstructing and reconstructing every single muscle in my body took a little more than two days, which is an amazingly short period of time in normal human's standards.

Soon I started reconstructing other things such as my hair and my skin, and by that I don't mean the dead skin that Is available from the outside, I meant the living skin that is protected by the dead skin. As the progress started, I began to looking hideous and I knew this would happen so I caged myself in a place that was filled with food! All my hair fell down, my skin looked like someone was digging it from the inside as it wasn't even at the same level. But in less than a day my hair grew back to normal, my skin also became normal.

At this point, the people started questioning my eating habits and if I was fine, but I soon made an excuse of storing energy so I can murder Fū! People also noticed my beautiful fine as silk gray hair, my eyelashes are the dream of every woman. Speaking of women, I met Sans's wife two months ago and found out that she is a Yuki that was pouched in the third shinobi war. Only Inoichi and Santa were the only ones in the clan that knew of her origins; Hiruzen, Danzo and other officials knew her origins too as the ice release bloodline is so hard to refuse! Keeping her existence a secret was to not fall into troubles with Kirigakure. The fruits of such move are already showing as Asano, Sans's wife, gave birth to a girl six years ago. The daughter's name was Mieko, which is strange because she didn't exist in the anime but I am pretty sure she met a terrible fate and my guess is that Danzo gave Asano and Mieko to Orochimaru so he could experiment on them. Mieko, unlike her mother, was a lovely girl and also the first useful fangirl that I had! Asano wasn't convinced of my genius but when I told her that I knew about her origin, she became more friendly and accepting.

Only two, almost three, days are left. I was about to bet my life for this improvement! My memories my everything! It was the time to reconstruct my brain and nervous system! This was the most dangerous improvement! It is even more dangerous than the reconstruction of my heart (muscle). I started with me nerves and made my way up to the spinal cord! It wasn't as painful as replacing my stem cells yet it was almost there! As I replaced my spinal cord I was planing the division of brain parts that I will work on in steps. I started loading memories into certain stem cells that will work to replace different parts of the brain as I knew when my brain get damages I will not have the ability to manage the process manually. Once I am out of conscious my stem cells full of energy will do all the work automatically for me!

At a certain point of the process I kept losing conscious and regaining it over and over again. My soul is still there but my body control was almost non-existent! The brain was sending singles everywhere and the nervous system was going crazy! But there was one thing that I was aware of, it was the fact that I am biting my teeth very hard that my mouth is full of blood! It is all worth it after all, not only will I gain a stronger processing power and a faster reaction time, my efficiency will increase by a lot... The stronger I am the faster I will be able to awaken Hika's soul!

Remembering Hika, my spirited reignited, I am doing this for Hika, and for my happiness sake! I withstood sixty hours of rebooting my brain with myself going in and out of conscious repeatedly! Shikaku kept everyone from entering my room until the fight starts as I asked him to before entering. If anyone were to enter my room at the time, they would have freaked out as they saw my body moves all over the place with no control at all!

I opened my eyes four hours before the match, as a huge change of my perspective occurred! The world was slower, I could hear people outside talking very clearly. I could see every single detail that a mosquito can't escape my vision. I could smell a lot better, I could feel everything in a microscopic level! My brain is processing everything way too fast! I tried to walk, but before I thought about it, I was already walking! The speed in which my brain process things instinctually is way faster than my thinking reaction time because of me memories of experiencing normal processing power. I will need sometime to get used to this. My movement is sluggish, the smell is bad as I didn't shower or clean my mouth for more than 2 days... I thought to myself that smelling is a disturbance as of now, and surprisingly my instincts acted up by itself again deactivating most of my smelling sensors! I tried thinking the same but this time with my eyes, and sure enough my vision changed to normal... There was one more test I should do, think about decreasing the reaction time so I could increase it by a small amount each time, but for the first time my instincts let me down.

I have a fight after four hours to the fight so I need to get accustomed with at least moving my muscles and using ninjutsu! I took baby steps toward the door of the room but I am still facing difficulties controlling my body and as I was trying to get accustomed, it turns out that coordinations between my body parts are lacking since I tried to grab the door handle but my legs didn't stop moving so I slammed head first into the door!

From this experiment I could tell that the way my body work currently is like this. A certain task starts instinctually before I think about it, but when I stop thinking about doing the task, there is a delay equal in time as the difference between the task starting and me starting to think about the task. In order to control my body correctly I need to stop thinking of doing the task early calculating the delay as an extension, and work my way from there. So I began trying that as I tried to grab the handle of the door, my hand moved before I thought of grabbing it, yet when I stopped thinking it kept on moving. I calculated the advance and the delay to be exactly 2.08 second which means I am doing the tasks for 4.16 seconds more than intended which is a huge advance in reaction speed if you asked me.

I left the room as I kept calculating time for advance and delay every time I do anything. Even speaking was difficult because the vocal cords starts vibrating before the tongue move in the correct position, so I moved my tongue on advance to the correct position before thinking about talking but the commands I tried to send to my tongue in advance overlapped causing me to bite my own tongue in countless occasions... People looked at me weirdly as Fū's supporters started laughing and making fun of my situation. I walked to the Akimichi Chow and then took a piece of paper and pen and started typing instead of trying to speak. I noticed something, the delay and advance is now shorter, it means that I am getting accustomed to the reaction speed.

I ordered some Akimichi clansmen to bring my living animals as I want to try my jutsu on them. My writing was very bad as it was almost incomprehensible. Choza, and a lot others started to ask me if I was fine, so I typed in the paper that I am fine. They went away and started to talking by themselves about how awkward I am right now, I could hear every single word but I couldn't bother, not in this situation! Soon some pigs were brought outside the restaurant and they were in public view. I asked to celebrate the animals and everyone to stay away from the pig I am targeting. They thought it was awkward but as soon as I tried releasing my bloodlust the pig died from a heart attack instantly. The bloodlust was so strong it affected everyone around me... Some were very intimated they brought their weapons out to fight, and others were scared enough to pee themselves. The other pigs tried to run away, but before I could even thinking about killing them, I looked at the running pig and in an instant used Mind Body Withering Technique while using an astonishing amount of chakra, melting it's body to nothing but disgusting juice in a fraction of a second. Even I was scared of what just happened!

The amount of Yin Chakra I was able to carry with me was just immeasurable to the point that it could be sensed by all censor ninja around the village. My body is still incomplete yet the amount of chakra it has is just... I wonder how my withering technique would do against a real person that could reinforce their muscles with chakra! I guess Fū will be the sacrifice! I smiled like a maniac as everyone around me was scared and are feeling chills down their spines.

It didn't take long for jonins such as Inoichi, Choza and Shikaku to recover. They tried to question me as they recovered but Shikaku soon stopped Inoichi and Choza as I needed to keep my secrets for the match. They both nodded and looked on the roofs of the houses around them as Anbu were everywhere with the Hokage appearing not far after. He must have rushed to here, but when he saw me he signaled for the Anbu to leave.

Hiruzen only said "Follow me" before turning around and started walking his way to the hokage's office. I raised my hand signaling 'goodbye' to everyone right before I grabbed a bag of chips and walked after Hiruzen.

The hokage started moving slower intending to let me catch up. Walking became very boring since every second felt like eight seconds with my new brain improvement, so I dashed toward the Hokage just to go get ahead him in a fracture of a second... I didn't expect such speed, and I didn't stop thinking at the right time so I continued running for three more seconds than anticipated. Hiruzen chased after me to see what was happening but was shocked to see my speed becomes zero at an instant. Hiruzen was so flabbergasted he forgot to look in front of him and soon went head first on a wooden fence breaking it. The best part about it was seeing his reaction is slow motion!

I laughed as he looked at me with anger... We ran to the hokage's office and as we arrived he emptied the place just to have a chat with me.

He looked at me as I was devouring everything inside the bag of chips then asked "Is this the true strength of your technique? It's power is very scary!", I knew what he meant, if the other Yamanaka could use it too, the Yamanaka will become stronger even than the Uchiha and the Hyuga but that was too much wishful thinking and so I explained with paper and pen "It depends on two factors. First, your soul's strength, the stronger your soul the bigger the capacity of chakra you can use. The second factor is your own Yin Chakra reserve, even if you have the strongest soul in the world but you have no chakra it means that you will be limited by what you have despite having a much bigger capacity."

Hiruzen nodded and then continued asking "I noticed your muscles grew in a rapid speed, your strength is not that of a 6 years old kid, is that another jutsu?". I stopped and thought about it for a second before writing 'well it be beneficial for me to tell him that I unlocked a Kekkei Genkai, or do I tell him that it was a jutsu?'.

I believed in human's greed and so I wrote "This is a Kekkei Genkai that I've unlocked just minutes ago. I am still not accustomed to it and this is why my body is acting awkwardly currently, but soon I will get accustomed to the change". Surely enough, Hiruzen was interested and asked "What does your Kekkei Genkai do? I will reward you for your achievement! Today is a joyous day for the whole village! Don't worry about today's match, I will nullify it if you don't feel ready!".

I smiled and shook my head as I wrote "You will see the abilities of my Kekkei Genkai in the match, but I will give you a sample! Do you have any knife or a very sharp tool with you?". Harizun didn't understand why I would ask for a sharp tool but he opened one of the drawers and took the fourth hokage's kunai. He gave it to me and so I grabbed it. I put my finger on the table and chopped it with the kunai. The Hokage felt worried, but instead of bleeding, the place of my finger started to regrow. I put the kunai down and started melting my severed finger making sure that I melted even the genetic code (DNA) from it.

Hiruzen was about to jump the gun and conclude that I had wood release, but he stopped himself. He wanted to ask further questions but as soon as he saw me writing something down he waited for my input which was "Can I leave now? I need to eat because I didn't eat for three days". Despite wanting to continue questioning me, Hiruzen knew that I had a match today and so he let me leave.

News about how scary my technique is must have reached Danzo's ears by now, I am thinking that Fū's game plan is going to be close combat and never letting my use my Justus, and the only way to counter that is by eating a lot and trying to store enough energy to regenerate whenever I receive any kind of damage. The lack of body control is going to be a very bad advantage and any miss calculation might be crucial!

I arrived at the Akimichi Chow again just to start putting everything I can into my stomach! I kept on eating for three hours without stopping for any reason. As the time for the match approaches I feel more and more excited, and more adrenaline is rushing through my veins!

Being the gentlemen that I am, I arrive at the arena five minutes early. Not only that, but I even arranged to pay for the stadium's seats for everyone that signed a contract with me including small projects owners and other people that aren't from an established family. My crowd were cheering my name! The cries of the crowd excited me!

Fū arrived at the exact moment of the fight, acting all haughty and powerful. He screamed to the cheering crowd "Cheer now! When I destroy your little genius you will cry!" but no one ave a fuck as no one heard his voice like an insignificant ant trying to grab the attention of an elephant.

Fū grew angry with the crowd so he decided the followed up with his plan and threw a Kunai at me before even letting me knew that the match has started. I saw the Kunai in slow motion, as he started to run toward me after throwing the Kunai. I tried to focus on the timing but I thought about catching the Kunai too soon because my body started reacting before I could think. My hand went higher than I intended and the Kunai penetrated my chest! Fū started laughing as he jumped intending to strike my head. Did I feel pain? No! I grabbed the Kunai and took it out of my chest. There was no blood, no pain, the only mark that was left was the cut in my clothes but nothing else. I soon swung the Kunai with a strong force at the excited Fū breaking his right clavicle.

Fū didn't jump backward but started his desperate tries to overcome me in a close combat. Whenever he swing, I would dodge but it didn't take long for me to get the timing wrong again and so he managed to give me an insignificant scar. At the time I stopped thinking and I had one purpose in my mind, it was to kill Fū in the worst way possible! My instincts started controlling my body, as I kicked Fū's stomach sending him far away.

Fū tried to stand up just a moment after falling on the ground, but I grabbed his head as he stood up and kicked it very hard with my knee fracturing his mandible and knocking off some of his teeth. But I was yet to be done! I lowered my knee and my whole body as I slammed his head to the floor breaking his nose. Amidst the impact, I grabbed the Kunai I sticked in his shoulder earlier and used it to impale his left arm to the ground! His screams could be heard across the stadium, but I do not have mercy for the likes of him.

He thought I would kill him, but it was too early! I used my withering technique to melt his limps slowly while making sure it was painful. He tried to struggle as he screamed and cursed, so I had to make him shut up by slamming his head against the floor over and over again.

When his hands are limps were about to melt, he finally broke up and started begging for his life. I knew it was the best chance I have to condemn Danzo, and so I did what I did best... Giving people false hope! I screamed this time making sure to not miss my speech up "Why did you started the strife in our clan? If you answer me honestly, I will let you live!". Fū kept his mouth shut, so I kept the torture going. The crowd went silent as the circle continued until he spoke "I was jealous of you! You were the center of the attention!" in which I knew was a lie. The torture kept on going until his guts started melting, that was the breaking point when he screamed "I WILL ADMIT IT! PLEASE STOP! I WILL ADMIT IT, IT WAS DAN-" but before he could continue, his body exploded so did my arm! My relatives rushed in as they were worried, but before they could even reach me, my arm have already recovered itself.

I was frustrated for not being able to get information out of him, yet I still made sure to melt all what remains of my pervious hands as I don't want anyone to get my DNA sample!

"Are you alright?" Inoichi and Shikaku asked, I replied "thiss chance!" as I bite my tongue again before using hand signals to relay what I wanted to say. I gathered my breathe and then shouted "Elders who supported Fū! What is the meaning of this? I demand an explanation for putting a bomb in Fū's body! You knew he was going to lose and so you planned to assassinate me!"

They gulped before most of them tried to run but they soon were caught by the Anbu. With this, I have finally regained control of the Yamanaka! The next step is to stabilize the family and get rid of the rats that exist within the clan!
