Mato's Shinobi

Chapter 11: The Azuma Sisters

Yachiho Azuma's ability is called 'Eastern Time, Golden Hour' or just 'Golden Hour'. I allows her to stop or rewind time upto 5 seconds by striking a pose. By striking a supreme pose, she can double the time she can control. This ability also has several weaknesses like she cannot spam poses and stop time continuously. It also takes alot of energy so it can't be used alot of times.

Shiki and Himari were in the courtyard to train. He created a clone to become the slave. "For her to activate her power, she needs to strike a pose. So we need to be faster than that if we really want to win." Himari said. "Oh, thats the least of your worries." Shiki said with a smirk.

He looked at the clone slave, who got what he was saying and used Jinton: Onsoku. With his naturally high speed and this jutsu his speed became almost instantaneous. For Himari, it was as if the clone just disappeared and reappeared somewhere else. "You see what I mean?" he said with a smug smirk. "That was amazing!! What was that?!" Himari asked delightedly.

"That was a special jutsu I created by combining two of the fastest jutsus. The only problem with it is that due to the speed being too high, it can only move in a straight line. I can go in a zig zag pattern but the direction of motion will always be in a straight line." Shiki explained to Himari. "But-" Before Himari could say anything Shiki cut her off and said, "But don't worry about that, its not the only thing I can use. There are two other jutsus that if I use them together, it will be only a second slower than teleportation."

"Then why don't you use them?" She asked. "I can but you wont be able to handle it. You first need to get used to the jutsu he just did then we can talk about the rest. What do you think will happen when you use this ability in the games?" He asked. Himari thought a little and then widened her eyes a little as she got what he was saying. She quicly jumped on the clone slave's back and held the chains. "Now that's what I'm talkin about." Shiki said with a smile.

"Hold on tight or you'll get blown off. I'll start with a little slower version of this jutsu." C.Shiki said. He then used shunshin to start things off and let Himari get the hang of it first. The original was looking at them practicing and was giving them some tips and ideas. Himari was in luck because she had someone to guide her usage of the slave from both a viewing perspective and an actual doing perspective.

'There is still around a week till the exhibition games. She has enough time to get used to Lightning Chakra Mode, Jinton: Mueishō or Swift Release: Shadowless Flight and other fuuton and raiton moves.' The original Shiki thought as he looked at them.

Shiki sense somebody approaching and looked behind to see Kyouka. "I see the training is going well." She said. "Yeah, right now she's just getting used to the speed but she'll be ready to fight in no time." He said. "Is that so. You keep a watch over her and help her train like youre doing. I have some work to complete." She said as she walked back inside.

-----3 Hours Later-----

"Hey, let's wrap this up for today after this last attack! Overworking yourself isn't going to be good y'know!" The original Shiki shouted. The clone could go on for a few more hours but Himari cant. This kind of speed takes quite a toll on a normal humans body. The only reason she could last this long was because of her strengthend physique due to the Peaches. That would be the most logical answer because if someone without a strengthening or reinforcing power were to get hit with a shuuki, they would die instantly. So those who eat a Peach also get their body enhanced.

She looked at him and nodded as she and the clone used their new attack, 'Demon's Branding'. The clone slave would use Onsoku and close the distance between them and the enemy in under a second and using the momentum gained by that he would use Fuuton:Reppūshō or Wind Style: Gale Palm at the last moment before hitting the target. The combination of both results in a devastating strike that when they tested on a shuuki, it had its whole upper body turn to only red mist. No chunks of meat, no blood, it just got vaporized in red mist. And the area behind it also got damaged a little. It can be focused on a single point to make it a deadly sure kill pierceing attack that pierces multiple enemies in a straight line. The best thing is, he can use it in his human form too. The only problem with the 'Demon's Branding: Pierce' is that it also affects allies.
