You trained to the point where you lost your vision, "I don't know how you will possibly become a demon slayer if your eyes and body tire out so quickly" Neji sighed at your current state, nevertheless you took those words as encouragement and gathered up the strength to continue training.
As you were training the past entered your mind, all of the harsh words thrown at you because you weren't worthy of being the heir of the Hyuga clan, the harsh words Neji used to say to you.
"Concentrate! The final selection is up sooner than you think, you want to become a demon slayer like me right!" Your brother yelled as he tried swinging his sword at you, bringing you back to reality.
After months of training, you created your own breathing form: breath of rabbits
"I am sorry brother Neji, I...I'm sure I didn't reach your expectations on my breathing form.." you said while having a sad expression while looking at Neji
"It's fine, it's just disappointing that after all the training you created such a childish breathing form, nevertheless, please do not die in the final selection after all of this trai-" your brother was cut off when hiashi called him, so he quickly handed you a nichirin sword and walked off.
You stood, admiring the sword, realizing this was his old sword before walking off towards the mountain, mount fujikasane, the final selection site
As you reached the top you could see wisteria flowers and admired them before your eyes landed on many people gathered for the final selection
"These people look experienced...I'm probably the weakest of them all despite coming from the Hyuga clan.." you thought to yourself as you admired faces with scars and dirt.
"Greetings everyone" two identical kids spoke up
"Thank you for gathering at the final selection, mount fujikasane holds demons that demon slayer swordsmen will have to kill, demons hate wisteria flowers, which bloom here even out of season."
"They cover the mountain halfway up the slope, from that point on they do not bloom so demons are in that area, you must stay and survive here for seven days" you listened quietly, waiting for them to finish, getting more and more nervous by the second.
eventually, they said to go in so you walked forward, entering deep into the mountains
It felt as if as soon as you entered, you were faced with a demon.
"You look quite tasty, what'd you say, can I have a bite"
"Concentrate!" You thought to yourself while pulling your sword out, you took a deep breath and concentrated before jumping toward the demon, "Second Form: High-Jump Smash!" As soon as you jumped you allowed your breathing to circulate through your legs and then slash the demon's neck.
You felt your feet touch the ground, you moved your eyes to see the demon's head detached from its body.
You were happy because you've slayed your first demon, yet sad that you were the one to kill it "I hope that wasn't too painful." You spoke softly watching the demon disintegrate
Soon after you smelt the worst smell you have ever smelt and heard screams, screams of people in pain.
Quickly, you activated your byakugan only to see a demon with way too many arms to count squeezing one boy and preying on another.
"I have to save them!" you thought as you could hear the pain in those screams, quickly running towards the scene
While you tried to reach the scene you could see another boy running there as well, he was a young boy of average height with fairly tanned skin and He had ruffled, black hair with burgundy tips, combed back to expose his forehead, and wide, dark red eyes with white pupils.
You noticed the boy staring back and quickly adverted your gaze towards the gorey scene
Once you reached the scene felt fear rush throughout your body
"I can do this! What would brother Neji think if I ran away" you thought once again pulling out your sword "Second Form: High-Jump Smash!" You jumped in the air and cut off one of the arms of the demon, you heard someone yell another breathing form and noticed it was the boy you spotted earlier
Unlike you, he quickly protected one of the boys, you didn't even think about them
Did you deserve to be a demon slayer? Or should you just be a wife and bear children to keep the clan going?
After exiting your thoughts you noticed you hadn't been attacked, the demon seemed to be focused on the boy so you took this as a chance to strike it
"Third Form: Lucky Rabbit's Foot!" This attack mostly relied on luck and confidence, you breathe slowly but not too slow, you tried to stop breathing so fast and get to a steady pace, you leaped into the air, dodging one attack and getting closer to the demon's neck and successfully slice its neck
Well you certainly hadn't had enough luck on your side as the demon grabbed you and threw you in the air, causing you to land on your back and hit your head
You were nauseous after the fall, Nejis words enter your mind "please do not die in the final selection-" this was a confidence booster, you slowly got up and noticed the boy, the one you saw earlier was passed out and the victim—the one you both came to save was nowhere to be found
After noticing this you believed the demon ate the boy and this both saddened and angered you, as you pulled on your sword the boy woke up and quickly started to fight
Hoping you and this stranger could pull off a combo attack you went to fight with him, aiming to cut off the arms of the demon, you soon noticed while you were using your byakugan, that the demon's hands were underground, this meant the demon was planning a surprise attack
"jump!" You yelled looking for the boy and it seemed he already noticed this
As you jumped one of the hands of the demon reached for you so you sliced it off, but then another hand grabbed you and was squeezing you
You yelled because it felt as if your eyes were going to pop out, why were you so weak?
Just in time, the stranger sliced off the demon's head, causing the demon to have no choice but loosen his grip and release you
"Th..thank you" you managed to say towards the kind stranger who'd just saved you from death
"It's no problem!" The kind stranger replied before you walked away having to endure even more days inside of mount fujikasane
