It was rather amusing for me to watch as later that same day a timid blonde Renard was more or less delivered to our doorstep by a rather unhappy looking woman. I recognized her as Heith Velvet of Freya's familia. Specifically belonging to the healing aspect of that group as to no surprise the familia regularly got injured during daily training or diving. She wasn't mean or anything like that a...

Anyways once I got a solid handle on Ice release I moved on to the final documented water based Kekkai genkai, Wood release. Like with the other elemental chakras I was pretty sure there were other Kekkai genkai that used them but those were undocumented and not something I wanted to waste my time trying to discover. In theory though each elemental pairing had two kekkai genkai possible for it ...

What I found odd however was that in the game after Cyrus bombed the first lake and captured the legendary there the other two lake guardians just sat in their lakes passively until he captured them too. Uxie, Azelf and Mesprit weren't helpless or ignorant creatures by any means and even held a full psychic link between them so they knew immediately when the first had been captured and yet stil...

The fact my bullets had so little effect at all told me that this thing either had really good defensive traits or was built qualitatively better than even the normal badass Skags. I briefly flicked my attention to Brick and his Skag(Moe) and saw a brutal dance of strength going on. Unlike this shock one that kept it's distance to launch those shock projectiles the flame Skag charged in a VERY ...

I was taking this incredibly seriously as I wanted to get the most out of this binding vow without effectively crippling me in some regard. The most powerful restrictions were off the table since they required exactly that but I could get close to that sort of boost by giving up a bunch of smaller things to get restricted. For example if I gave up my ability to drink alcohol or my ability to sp...

While I say sloppy his technique was actually quite close to my own in how it worked but obviously far far less smooth and powerful.

This wasn't some new concept really as this was always how aura worked. It was your essence and reflected yourself to those around you when let out freely. If you leaned towards violence often or weren't afraid to kill it was reflected in your aura. That was why team felt more dangerous than even those pokemon held by Cynthia or most of the other Gym leaders. Unlike them my pokemon were not new...

Both of these quests were close to each other so we all headed over that way together. We only had two runners to do so but made it work as I hung off the side of the gunner seat of the runner Roland and Lil took. It was really fucking sketchy but we made it so whatever. The windmill power station was overrun with bandits that really didn't fucking want to let us take back control of the area b...

To be fair I had been rather distracted with the cat itself and hadn't really understood the implications behind it's birth. I was understandably horrified now at knowing that in a weird sort of way I was it's father and Hephaestus was it's mother though perhaps not exactly.

"That's not how that works. S rank isn't just one level of power for jutsu but a sort of spectrum with weaker and stronger jutsu all having it but not being necessarily the same in terms of danger." I said correcting his mistaken thoughts.

In a funny way thanks to these gloves I could be considered one of the most dangerous people on the planet who wasn't a pokemon god. Not to say I wasn't already but if you were to strip away all of my other special aspects and left just my aura and these gloves I would still fall under that list. Satisfied with my new conduit weapons after hours of practice to acclimate to them I called it a da...

I had to admit that the "runners" from the catch-a-ride were fascinating creations even if a bit oddly designed. See unlike most cars you would think of that are one solid unit with the engine at the front and a squarish shape the runners were NOTHING like that. They had a sort of cockpit main body with no windshield or roof but a driver seat and behind that a gunner seat with a 360 degree mach...

I didn't mind this though as if anything this was even more in my favor as now I could leave this thing in charge of my flames during combat. Not now obviously as it was too weak to be of any use at the moment but after it grew up a bit absolutely.

"You said I just need to create a counterflow to the jutsu to return it to chakra?" Jiraiya muttered as he held up a palm and an apple sized blue orb of chakra swirled to life.
I quickly reached out and grasped the orb with my hand and squeezed causing a terrible grinding sound to ring out before the jutsu shattered under my grip without so much as bruising my skin.

Creating a move through my palms was much easier now as the gloves worked as a focus for my energies. 'This really is a broken type of conduit weapon.' I thought as flames covered my fist harmlessly. Sure it was still quite tricky to pull off but compared to before it was much more reasonable. I couldn't use any of the really big or flashy moves yet but something simple like fire punch was a ci...

She believed that she had my flames contained because of her barrier but the truth was that much like a wild tiger given a juicy steak she had only slowed it down while it savored it's meal.

I don't mean to say that the ratios were balanced when creating Kekkai genkai but that it was only two chakra natures that were balanced to create the unique chakra and thus not an issue for the body to accommodate. Kekkai tota however were comprised of three chakra natures and thus was intrinsically unbalanced. In theory this could be corrected by fusing in a fourth nature but I had no underst...

I stood next to the raging furnace with my palm channeling my aura into the life iron ore as it was brought to temperature. Thankfully the aura protected my skin and flesh from being burnt by the flames but that didn't mean this was comfortable at all for me. The smith was perfectly fine though and if anything seemed content to bask in this heat which given her blessing made sense. One the ore ...

For my final test I put in a level four non monster rex stone and observed how long it took to be converted.

They even had letters from the Daimyo sanctioning their "tolls" so long as a portion of it got sent to them as "taxes". It was dirty business but this world had never been clean so I was hardly surprised.

This meant that this woman had met either a very powerful or very old Heatran AND managed to get a blessing out of it. Heatran were notoriously ill tempered so this was quite a surprising piece of news though not impossible by any means.

She was different to me and my pokemon who for lack of a better description were vicious and savage in how we battled. Cynthia on the other hand was controlled and calculating. Add on the sheer dominance her pokemon were trained for and she was an extremely difficult foe to face as she'd pick you apart piece by piece.
