章節 109: Hikari's Confrontation with the Kirigakure's Jinchuriki (1)

After Hikari's pivotal victory over two of the Swordsmen of the Mist, the morale among Konoha's forces on that part of the front surged dramatically.

Hikari's reputation soared both among his own troops and in the eyes of his enemies.

The loss severely damaged the morale of the Kirigakure forces and visibly shifted the momentum of the conflict.

In the following months, bolstered by their newfound confidence, Konoha's shinobi pressed forward, steadily pushing the frontline deeper into the continental territory of the Land of Water.

Hikari, now a figure of significant renown and fear, exploited the enemy's disarray, catching numerous Kirigakure squadrons off guard.

His tactics were ruthless and effective, decimating entire enemy units single-handedly and cementing his fearsome reputation.

This relentless advance continued, with Konoha gaining ground and putting the Kirigakure forces on a persistent backfoot.

However, despite these successes, the tide of war was about to take an unexpected turn.

Everything shifted dramatically when Kirigakure, feeling the sting of their earlier defeats, decided to deploy their two Jinchuriki to this area of the front.

The presence of these formidable forces changed the dynamics of the conflict. These Jinchuriki, utilizing their partial transformations, exhibited remarkable speed and agility, swiftly breaking through Konoha's formations.

They targeted and annihilated entire squadrons with devastating efficiency, retreating before Konoha could muster sufficient forces to encircle and counter them.

Despite being easily detectable due to their immense chakra signatures, their incredible speed meant they completed their destructive tasks and withdrew long before Konoha could effectively respond.

This new strategy by Kirigakure began to push back against Konoha's advances, causing significant disruption to their previously gained momentum. After a few more months, everything completely returned to the previous state, effectively erasing all of Konoha's gains so far.

As the Jinchuriki wreaked havoc on Konoha's forces over time, Hikari initially refrained from confronting them directly, recognizing the disadvantage of facing the two together. He still valued his own life above everything else, including his side's war campaign success.

Instead, he experimented with tactics at first—setting traps and organizing ambushes—but all attempts proved futile against the Jinchuriki's swift and destructive assaults over time.

During this period, Hikari, eventually turning 14 years old, continued to refine his mastery over external control of natural energy, making significant strides in his training while managing his forces from a distance.

Months passed, and with the relentless damage inflicted by the Jinchuriki threatening to tilt the war in Kirigakure's favor way too much, beyond the point of return, and Hikari's own strength growing as the massive training paid off, Hikari realized he could no longer remain on the sidelines.

Although not yet confident in his ability to match a mid-Kage level, he estimated he needed to win over the two of them at the same time, as they were both around the Early-Kage level individually. In his estimates, his continuous training had brought him close to that level.

Therefore, saw engaging the Jinchuriki as a necessary risk, potentially even as the catalyst needed for his breakthrough to that level during the battle.

With the situation growing dire, Hikari decided it was time to act. Sealing his chakra points to minimize his presence, he now lay in wait in the dense jungle.

Alongside him, selected squadrons acted as bait, drawing the Jinchuriki into his meticulously planned ambush.

This moment culminated months of preparation and growth, a calculated risk Hikari was now ready to take to turn the tide of the war.

Hidden in the dense undergrowth, Hikari currently braced himself and mentally prepared for the upcoming battle, recognizing the gravity of the challenge ahead.

The confrontation with the Jinchuriki represented not just a crucial moment in the war but the biggest test of his growth and capabilities so far, his hardest battle up until this point.

Facing even the two "imperfect" Jinchuriki—beings whose power dwarfed that of even the most elite shinobi—underscored both how much he had evolved and the lengths he still needed to go to handle potential threats, in the future, that he was perfectly aware existed both external and internal kinds.

Hikari's relentless training regimen, which continued even while being mobilized on this front, was fueled by more than just ambition; it was driven by a deep-seated fear of defeat that haunted him even in his sleep.

Nightmares of potential defeat turned into motivation, pushing him to train with even greater intensity each day, no matter how far he already got as a shinobi and no matter the location.

The dense jungle suddenly resonated with the approach of formidable chakra signatures. Hikari's Byakugan sharpened as he saw two figures break through the tree line, their bodies cloaked in the eerie chakra of their respective tailed beasts.

The first was the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, his form surrounded by a bubbling, aqueous chakra cloak that hinted at the beast's aquatic nature.

Beside him, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki emitted a noxious, pale chakra cloud reflective of the slug-like beast sealed within him.

Both Jinchuriki had already transformed into their partial Version 1 forms, showcasing their readiness for battle.

Their chakra cloaks pulsed rhythmically, a visual testament to the raw power at their command.

As they surveyed their surroundings, their eyes were sharp and calculating, ready to engage at the slightest hint of an enemy.

Hikari, hidden in his ambush position, watched them closely, analyzing their movements and preparing for the right moment to strike.

As Hikari then released his chakra points swiftly and expertly, a burst of energy surged through him, enhancing his reflexes and strength to their peak.

With a swift motion, he launched two of his Rotation Spheres, compact orbs of spinning chakra that flew with lethal precision toward Isobu and Saiken.

By this point, the rest of the 'bait' shinobi present on the scene also tactically moved back to observe and wait for the right moment to try and help Hikari later, as they were instructed. 

Simultaneously, Hikari propelled himself forward with a burst of Wind Release under his feet, enhancing his already impressive speed.

His form blurred as he dashed through the jungle terrain, leaves and debris swirling in the wake of his rapid movement.

His eyes, sharp with the clarity of the Byakugan, focused intently on the Jinchuriki, calculating the best angles and timings for his strikes.

Additionally, the previously thrown Rotation Spheres erupted into full-blown Wind Rotations, on the ground, throwing debris and disorienting his targets, Hikari capitalized on that precise moment of confusion.

His form blurred into action, surrounded by a whirling aura of chakra — his Rotation Armor, a necessary shield against the overwhelming chakra of the Jinchuriki.

Hikari knew that he had to leave this 'Armor' constantly on him for protection from the beginning, or else risk being physically destroyed with their overwhelming tangible Tailed Beast's potent and boiling-hot kind of chakra even in their Version 1. 

Without hesitation, Hikari launched his newest and most potent 'ordinary' technique so far, 'Wind Release: Rotation Drill,' which didn't involve natural energy manipulation in any way.

His arm transformed into a deadly drill, spiraling with intense speed and compact wind chakra.

The technique was not just a testament to his mastery of the Wind Release but also a fusion with the Hyuga's Gentle Fist, aimed to penetrate defenses that were impervious to conventional chakra disruption techniques.

This was Hikari's answer to the overwhelming chakra of the Jinchuriki—a direct, piercing strike designed to bypass the monstrous energy that made sealing their chakra points impossible.

His Twin Lion Fist, though formidable, was inadequate against foes of this caliber. He couldn't possibly try to seal or steal chakra of that level of potency; he knew that from the beginning.

Thus, he had developed the Rotation Drill, fine-tuning it over months of relentless training and preparation, specifically for this confrontation.

As he closed the distance, the drill whirred with lethal intent, aiming to bore through the defenses of the nearest Jinchuriki.

The sharp, rotating chakra was like a beacon of his resolve, cutting through the air and aiming to end the battle quickly with a decisive blow.

However, Hikari was taken aback as his attack halted against the sudden, formidable defense of Isobu's host, who purposefully placed himself in front of his comrade due to his better defense capability.

The Jinchuriki had 'partially transformed' himself and formed a gray, shell-like barrier from a giant tail, robust enough to slow down the piercing motion of his attack considerably. So Hikari found his drill was still gaining ground and piercing the hard shell-like material, albeit very slowly.

Moreover, the Isobu's host, now in his full three-tailed Version 1 form, threatened with large, elongated, translucent chakra claws swiping at him from the other side.

The Saiken's host, also in his full Version 1 form, mirrored this aggression, extending formidable chakra claws toward him, creating a pincer attack that left little room for evasion.

With a burst of speed, Hikari retreated as he realized his situation, using his Byakugan to navigate through the dense jungle. His mind raced as he understood the challenge ahead.

'Damn, the coordination between them is impeccable. Their timing is flawless—it's almost like they've trained for this scenario too... The way they switched places to position Isobu's Jinchuriki in front of my strike... And their 'base speed' even in Version 1 is exceptional...',

He thought, frustration momentarily clouding his usual calm, 'That first 'surprise strike' was supposed to at least dent their morale or chip away some of their vitality and damage them in some way for the rest of the battle.',

'But that shell—it's like striking a mountain. I guess it is because essentially, this could be seen as some kind of a projection of Isobu's true body in a much smaller form, making it similarly sturdy to a certain extent.',

'It seems that I must be ready to retreat at a moment's notice during this battle. The various cooperation and barrier jutsu prepared by my 'bait' team here should at least buy me some time If I choose to escape next.',

He glanced around, noting the positions of his forces hidden within the foliage, each ready to enact their part of the escape plan. 

From the beginning, he was ready to sacrifice them first if needed to escape; otherwise, he wouldn't have come here in the first place without that confidence.

With this same assurance, he now also chose to remain in the fray to assess his capabilities against such formidable opponents, gain further valuable combat experience, and refine his newly developed skills in manipulating natural energy in real combat for the first time ever.

This encounter also presented a chance to possibly ascend to a new level of shinobi power.

章節 110: Hikari's Confrontation with the Kirigakure's Jinchuriki (2)

As the dust settled and the shattered jungle lay bare around them thanks to their chakra cloak projections, and as they were still enshrouded in their full Version 1 forms, Kaito, with his heightened senses from the Three Tails' chakra, spotted Hikari exiting and now standing calmly amidst the chaos in the more open kind of field.

His voice, carrying the guttural undertones of Isobu, echoed through the clearing, "You're tough to pin down, Hikari Hyuga. And you have great vision and reaction speed. However, you're outmatched here now that we cleared everything down."

With a menacing grin, Riku pulsing with the acidic chakra of the Six Tails, added, "It seems that you thought you could take us on your own. Let's see how long you last against us then."

Their voices, tinged with the raw energy of their tailed beasts, filled the clearing, challenging Hikari with their words and the sheer intensity of their presence, trying to intimidate and unnerve him.

'It's truly fascinating. Even with my full capabilities for speed, including Wind Release and heightened processing speed, I'm just keeping pace with them in this form. Their Version 2 could be out of my reach...', Hikari contemplated.

But, out loud, he taunted, "It seems Kirigakure isn't as formidable as it pretends, having to deploy both Jinchuriki away from the village during such critical times.",

"Even the Hozuki Patriarch and those Swordsmen believed their own hype before they faced reality against me...", He retorted sharply, his voice laced with provocation.

However, internally, his mind raced as he meticulously watched every minute movement of the Jinchuriki, preparing to react in an instant if needed.

He understood well that the Jinchuriki, thanks to their Tailed Beasts sealed inside of them, possessed not only a vastly superior chakra reserve but also enhanced physical abilities and regenerative powers, even in their normal states, not to mention enhanced states like now.

Kaito, the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, spoke first, his voice tinged with annoyance, "The past is the past, Hikari. Even you know well that you're no match for the two of us now. So, what were you trying to accomplish by openly setting such a little 'trap'?",

"Do you think those fodders you placed around will manage to help you? You should have just continued hiding as you did these past months instead. Then maybe you would've lived through this war as the little mouse you are ."

Riku, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, added with a menacing tone, "We've been searching for you tirelessly. The Lord Mizukage has marked you as Kirigakure's number one public enemy after the humiliation you caused.",

"And now that we're here to stabilize this front, which we are doing, we'll return to the village with your head as a trophy. It's only a matter of time."

As Kaito and Riku faced Hikari, their internal fury simmered. This young, proud-looking teen was the primary reason this section of the front had started to falter, forcing them to intervene directly to salvage the situation during the last few months.

Furthermore, this diversion meant abandoning the Mizukage's critical plan to deliver a final blow to the rival political factions led by the Kaguya and Yuki clans.

When everything was aligning for their Mizukage to perfectly consolidate power and eliminate those prominent bloodline clans, his greatest dream and wish in life, this unexpected challenge arose.

The Third Mizukage, who had treated them with all the respect and provided them autonomy, power, fame, and care—unlike the treatment of Jinchuriki in other villages—now had his greatest ambitions thwarted.

This failure to fulfill their leader's greatest aspiration, even only temporarily, weighed heavily on their minds, fueling their resentment and eagerness to exact vengeance on Hikari next.

As the fight soon intensified, and the two Jinchuriki managed to clear the field, which was to their advantage for obvious reasons, Hikari found himself dodging and weaving through a barrage of attacks.

Kaito, utilizing his ability to manipulate coral, launched jagged structures from the ground, aiming to trap or impale Hikari.

At the same time, Riku employed his Soap Bubble Ninjutsu, creating bubbles that exploded upon contact, releasing corrosive substances that sizzled menacingly as they burst near Hikari.

Amid this chaos, Hikari was forced to deploy a series of his Wind Release techniques. His swift and sharp Rotations sliced through the incoming coral structures, turning them into harmless debris.

The Rotation Spheres he hurled disrupted Riku's bubbles, causing them to pop at a safe distance.

Yet, his Wind Release: Rotation Drill was the most energy-draining of all. Hikari spun it furiously, creating a powerful vortex that repelled all the attacks that breached closer. 

With the battlefield cleared of obstacles and every dodge costing him precious chakra, he had way less than his opponents; Hikari felt the pressure mounting.

He knew he couldn't sustain this defensive onslaught for much longer and started planning his next move, aware that his window to turn the tide was closing fast.

Therefore, in a pivotal moment, Hikari honed his focus to an unprecedented degree, pushing his cognitive capabilities to their limit as he prepared to deploy the most potent weapon in his arsenal: his unique ability to perceive and manipulate natural energy.

With his Byakugan strained to the utmost, he activated its special mode, which allowed him to see natural energy, a rare talent unique to his vision.

Simultaneously, Hikari began to control the chakra coursing through his body finely, oscillating it intensely to prepare for various external projections needed to control that natural energy he was now 'seeing' everywhere outside.

This preparation was crucial for interacting with the natural energy he now visualized outside his body, blending it with his own chakra to amplify his power. This complex technique demanded a profound 'flow state,' which Hikari had diligently honed over recent months.

With everything set, Hikari propelled himself forward at astonishing speed by channeling his chakra into his legs and feet. As he always did, he used the natural energy around him to boost his velocity alongside the wind release.

As he moved, he also enveloped one of his palms externally with a mix of controlled and distanced natural energy and wind chakra, careful to ensure it didn't directly contact his skin to avoid harm.

He planned to use it to 'push' the natural energy into his enemy and kill him quickly, utilizing the advantage of this surprise attack they didn't know he had in his arsenal.

This sudden burst of speed and power caught Kaito off guard. To him, it was as though Hikari had vanished, reappearing with an enhanced velocity that was nearly impossible to track with the naked eye. He was now at least a level faster than before.

The natural energy, invisible to them, left Kaito and his companion momentarily bewildered, unsure of the source of Hikari's newfound speed and strength.

Meanwhile, as Hikari closed in on Kaito, he simultaneously launched a Rotation Sphere from his free palm towards Riku. This time, the sphere was not only faster but significantly more potent, enhanced by a surge of natural energy that Hikari had skillfully woven into its core.

The added natural energy intensified the sphere's rotational force, making it a more formidable projectile than ever before.

The natural energy amplified the sphere's destructive power and autonomy. Once released, the sphere moved with unprecedented velocity, propelled by the natural energy that coursed through and around it.

Hikari found that he no longer needed to guide it with his Wind Release; the natural energy itself dictated its trajectory, carrying it towards Riku with lethal precision.

This strategic deployment allowed Hikari to focus his full attention on Kaito, attempting to capitalize on the momentary distraction his attack provided.

As Hikari closed the distance between himself and Kaito, ready to deliver his potent attack with a palm infused with natural energy, he was taken aback.

Kaito's chakra cloak reacted instinctively. The dense chakra converged at the point of impact to form a robust barrier against the natural energy.

Realizing the natural energy alone wouldn't penetrate, Hikari quickly adapted.

"Not enough time, I need to use the drill then!", Hikari exclaimed, surprised by the resilience of the chakra cloak.

He swiftly began forming his Wind Release: Rotation Drill, now attempting to integrate natural energy into the technique for the first time to enhance its penetrating power.

This integration required precise control and additional time to stabilize the volatile energies involved.

Not to mention that he still didn't master it quite well like all the other 'integrations', because he learned that technique even in its ordinary form, and was familiar with it, only recently. 

However, as Hikari focused on refining his technique, Kaito seized the moment to escalate the battle further.

With a surge of power, he transitioned into his more formidable Version 2 Jinchuriki form, his silhouette expanding and distorting with even more intense and wild chakra.

This sudden transformation meant that Kaito was now enveloped in a much thicker and more aggressive chakra cloak, presenting an even greater challenge to Hikari's attack.

As Kaito's transformation into his Version 2 form was completed, a massive surge of energy erupted from him.

The ground beneath his feet cratered under the immense force, a testament to the formidable power now at his command.

His body was now encased in a dark red, nearly black chakra cloak that took on a humanoid shape, acting as an endoskeleton that magnified his physical capabilities.

The chakra shroud, thick and pulsating with violent energy, formed a formidable defense that could repel even the most robust attacks.

In addition to the sheer increase in strength, speed, and chakra, Kaito could still use chakra arms to extend his reach and manipulate his surroundings aggressively.

Moreover, the advanced form allowed him to generate chakra bones around his body, providing additional defensive mechanisms and offensive options.

As Hikari's new 'Senjutsu: Wind Rotation Drill' spiraled towards Kaito, the jinchuriki used the enhanced chakra arms granted by his Version 2 transformation to parry the attack.

The energy was so dense and potent that it stopped Hikari's drill in its tracks, demonstrating the formidable defense of the Version 2 cloak.

At that moment, Riku, having also transformed into his Version 2, moved with startling speed and power. He surged forward and delivered a powerful punch to Hikari. The impact was fierce, sending Hikari hurtling backward through the air.

The force of the blow was a clear testament to the increased strength and speed provided by the Six Tails' chakra.
