Looking at his fingertips that healed instantaneously, and then thinking back at how easily he managed to use the Shikotsumyaku Jutsu just a few moments ago, Kuroto can’t help but mutter in wonder, “Is this how a genius feels?”

The ‘Ten Finger Drilling Bullets’ that Kuroto used a few moments ago was used with incredible ease, there was no resistance, no need for guidance, nothing at all… no it felt natural, as if he should be able to use it without a doubt, sort of like an instinct to the body.

And this feeling made Kuroto sort of overwhelmed, after all, he has always had a mediocre talent and has always required a lot of practice and hard work to gain proficiency in any ninjutsu.

Condensing his divergent thoughts, Kuroto slowly walked towards the center of the training site and clapped his hands.

As soon as, Kuroto clapped his hands, several humanoid puppets appeared out of the storage rooms.

These puppets were sent by the Godaime Kazekage Pakura as per Kuroto’s instructions, and Kuroto then gave these puppets autonomy using the Demon Moryo’s Chakra; to make these puppets serve as the objects of training.

The strength of each of these puppets varies, with some being Genin Level, a few at the Chunin level, and even Jonin level based on how much Chakra they contain.

The purpose of varying degrees of strength is to make them simulate a real war situation where the strength of the enemy is not always the same, as each enemy has a different strength.

Unfortunately, these puppets are only capable of using Taijutsu and shinobi tools like Shuriken, Senbon, and Kunai, et cetera because Kuroto has no method to enable these puppets from being able to use Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, other forms of Jutsu or different Kekkei Genkai, else he would have surely done that for better war simulation.

Clack clack

After these puppets took their respective positions and surrounded Kuroto from all sides, the lights in the room dimmed.

Normally, Kuroto has no problem seeing in the dark because of the Byakugan, but since he is testing a few things so Kuroto did not activate the Byakugan, in fact, he even closed his eyelids, then bent forward changing the center of gravity of his body.

“Let’s start!” and the very next instant, these puppets started to attack Kuroto in a perfectly coordinated manner.

All sorts of Kunai, Shuriken, and Senbon, rushed towards Kuroto from all directions. The attacks weren’t solely focused on him but arranged in such a manner that his retreat options were also very limited.

And since, Kuroto’s eyes were closed, so he did not know of which directions to take, well technically, he shouldn’t have known of which directions to take, but for some reason he did.

Feeling the minimal changes in the airflow around him, and listening to the sound of each Shuriken, Kunai, and Senbon cutting through the air, Kuroto murmured slightly as his lips arched in a smirk, “I feel it!”

Just before the tools hit him and cause an injury, Kuroto’s figure turned into an afterimage.

And this afterimage was like an inexplicable ghost, moving all over the room, calmly evading each and every attack by the use of minimal movements necessary.

“This is the feeling!” muttered Kuroto, as he easily dodged another rain of Shuriken and a blade attack.

What Kuroto is currently practicing is another Jutsu of the Kaguya Clan, ‘The Dance of Willow!’, that was recorded in the scroll.

The Dance of Willow is not as simplistic as it appears, in fact, not even a single dance of the Kaguya Clan is as simplistic as they appear to be. The Dances of the Kaguya Clan highly revolves around sensing the minimal changes in the surrounding airflow, then responding accordingly.

Those of the Kaguya Clan, rely less on vision, and more on the changes in airflow, and thus their moves appear to be bodily instincts.

Clang Clang Ding Ding

A series of metal crashing sounds rang through the room and the Kunai and Shuriken cut by the Bone blades fell to the ground.

""

Kuroto finally stopped at this moment and the several bone blades that were protruding out of his palm, elbows, shoulders, and knees retracted back inside the body. At the same time, the skin that had ripped wide open was healed again.

“Next is Dance of Camellia.” Muttered Kuroto as he pulled out a single modified sword made out of his upper arm bone, and using this sword made out of bone, Kuroto started to repeatedly stab the various puppets at such rapid speed that it literally created several afterimages.

Each stab was directed at a different part of the puppet, and at a different angle with slightly different regularity, so Kuroto’s movements became increasingly difficult to predict.

By the time, Kuroto stopped, all the puppets in the room along with the swords in their arms were cut into pieces by the Bone Blade and collapsed on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Kuroto squatted on the ground and looked at the fragments of the puppets and the swords scattered on the ground, and he wasn’t much surprised to find that each cut was extremely neat and smooth. Clearly indicating the sharpness that the Bone Blade carried.

After pondering a little, Kuroto again shook his right hand, and a bone blade stretched out from the palm of his right hand, then, Kuroto picked up a Kunai lying on the floor.

Ding

The bone blade and Kunai were struck against each other and accompanied by a sharp sound; the metallic Kunai was immediately cut into two fragments by the bone spur.

“The sharpness of the Bone is extraordinary.” Muttered Kuroto as he looked at the bone Blade in his hand. The Kunai was cut into two pieces when Kuroto did not even put too much force in it. This alone shows how sharp a simple bone blade it.

Normally, Kuroto should be happy about it, but he was not, and a trace of worry grew in his heart.

‘The more talented the members of the Kaguya Clan, the earlier they die.’

Kuroto certainly has very high expectations from this Wind Nature Clone-A, the high volume of Chakra, Byakugan purity, and body-soul synchronization alone is more than enough to make the potential of this Clone very high, this is why Kuroto didn’t need this Clone to have very strong potential towards Shikotsumyaku, because the strong the potential of Shikotsumyaku, the severe disease to the body, and the earlier this Clone would be destroyed.

After thinking for a while, Kuroto decided to use Shikotsumyaku less in the future, and immediately after that, he pondered on which Kekkei Genkai to master for this Clone.

There is more than one option at Kuroto’s hand, as Kuroto has information of quite a lot of Kekkei Genkai with Wind as one of the Chakra Nature of that Kekkei Genkai. Ice Release, Scorch Release, Magnet Release. But neither of these three is a Kekkei Genkai purely based on Wind Release.

Ice Release can be discarded because it contains too much Water Nature Chakra, so the two options in front of Kuroto are Magnet Release and Scorch Release.

“Which one should I Choose? Magnet Release? Or Scorch Release?” muttered Kuroto with a thoughtful look.
