Chapter 48 - Chapter 48 Developing a Killer Queen-like Skill? Ability Out of Control!

[But this power was still too weak. Even using all your strength, it only produced an explosive force comparable to a cheap box of firecrackers.]

[This level of power was only good for blowing up cow patties. It could barely chip tree bark and couldn't blast through a tree trunk.]

'Seriously? That's how you measure explosive power?' Takumi narrowed his eyes.

A cheap box of firecrackers indeed had limited power. But if every punch could produce that kind of force, it would still be quite significant.

[You began focusing on increasing the explosive power.]

[A month later, the explosions from your fists could blast off tree bark and about a centimeter of the trunk.]

[Half a year later, the explosive power increased again, allowing you to punch a notch directly into a tree.]

[A year later, a single punch from you could completely shatter a tree trunk.]

[You entered the Academy and began learning Ninjutsu and other knowledge.]

[However, your training focus remained on your demolition ability.]

[One month after enrollment, you began combining demolition with the Gentle Fist, developing a set of 'Explosion Fist'.]

[The day you successfully developed this skill, you had a scuffle with a kid from the Akimichi Clan.]

[The result was unquestionable: a crushing defeat for the other party.]

[And due to your immense explosive power, they were severely injured.]

[This incident alarmed nearly half of Konoha. The school teachers criticized you, the other parents caused a scene. In the end, your father, Hyuga Hiashi, stepped in to settle the disturbance.]

[Two months later, Hinata was kidnapped by the Land of Lightning. Although she was eventually rescued, it cost the life of Neji's father.]

[At the clan meeting, you were furious and filled with self-blame.]

[You said if you had been there, Hinata might not have suffered such a fate, so it was all your fault.]

[To make up for your mistake, you decided to move into Hinata's room to protect her day and night.]

[No one could stop your fierce determination. The clansmen praised your behavior of caring for your younger sister.]

[That very night, you moved into Hinata's room. You slipped into her futon and told her: 'I will protect Hinata's body!']

[You began training even harder.]

[Your demolition ability grew stronger and stronger. You could even generate explosions just by swinging your fist vigorously, without using any specific Taijutsu.]

[You started researching stronger demolition techniques.]

[Because you knew you had a natural talent in this area, what kind of technique you could develop from this demolition ability was entirely up to you.]

[In your mind, you had a template character. You wanted to create an ability similar to his.]

[This template character was Kira Yoshikage, the boss from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 4. His Stand, Killer Queen, could turn anything it touched into a bomb.]

[You began thinking about how to create this ability.]

[You went to seek advice from Kakashi, Jiraiya, Sandaime Hokage... the village's top experts.]

[Because of your prominent status, they all enthusiastically explained things to you and shared their knowledge.]

[Six months later, you finally successfully developed a skill similar to Killer Queen.]

[The principle of this technique was to turn your Chakra into a bomb.]

[When you touched an object, you would leave a layer of Chakra on its surface. Then, you would detonate it, making it seem like anything you touched turned into a bomb.]

[Initially, the power of these bombs was minuscule, barely causing a slight tremor, not even enough to tear paper.]

[Two months later, the power gradually increased. After touching an ordinary paper cup, you could make it 'blossom' open.]

[Five months later, you successfully detonated a steamed bun from a breakfast shop by touching it.]

[Eight months later, while napping at the Academy, you accidentally touched the hand of a kid from the Nara Clan, causing an explosion that crippled his entire arm.]

[Once again, your father stepped in to handle it. You couldn't help but sigh: having an awesome dad sure makes things easy.]

[Nine months later, you tried to blow up a banyan tree in your backyard. You touched its bark, moved far away, and then detonated it.]

[You succeeded.]

[The hard trunk was blasted open with a hole. You were in a room over 20 meters away, meaning you now possessed a remote detonation ability.]

[And this level of power was already sufficient to cause real harm to Shinobi.]

'This...'

At this point in the simulation, Takumi couldn't help but take a deep breath, unable to contain his excitement!

'He actually... succeeded?'

'He managed to create an ability similar to Killer Queen?!'

Takumi was utterly shocked.

After all, Killer Queen was one of the Stands he found really cool. It was the ultimate demolition maniac! And its ability was extremely stylish… anything it touched directly turned into a bomb! There was simply no way to escape it!

And he actually managed to develop it successfully using the Ninjutsu System?

Genius!

...

[Your explosive ability attracted Hiashi's attention.]

[Under his inquiry, you didn't hide anything and truthfully told him about your ability.]

[After all, you knew Hiashi was your biological father, and he would only protect you.]

[Soon, Kakashi, Might Guy, Sandaime Hokage... the village's higher-ups also learned about your terrifying ability.]

[In the Hokage's Office, when you learned you had graduated early, you excitedly slapped the desk. Then, the desk exploded.]

[In the ensuing chaos, you touched Sandaime Hokage's body, and Sandaime Hokage exploded.]

[Fortunately, Sandaime Hokage was tough. He only suffered a gash on his arm and was not in mortal danger. Otherwise, your Shinobi career would have ended that day.]

[You began to discover the drawbacks of this ability. As your body developed and your physical energy and Chakra increased, your explosive power grew larger. Most crucially, your emotions greatly influenced your ability.]

[If your emotions became too agitated, it could cause objects your body contacted to explode instantly!]

[Within one month of your Genin graduation, you caused multiple explosions.]

[The Hokage's Office, Konoha's streets, Ichiraku Ramen...]

[Because of your developed 'Pseudo-Killer Queen' skill, everything around you could potentially become a bomb, so people began to panic around you.]

[Classmates started intentionally keeping their distance from you. Clan members also tried to avoid contact with you. Only Hinata, when you were in her room at night, still let you hold her while sleeping.]

[You felt very troubled. You hadn't anticipated this loss of control over your ability.]

[You had only kept increasing the 'firepower' in your Chakra, but you didn't expect the concentration to become so high. You felt you had become a walking powder keg.]

[You began to feel somewhat dejected, even afraid to touch Hinata.]

[Because you had reached that age, if you didn't control certain... stirrings well, you were afraid you might hurt Hinata.]

[Half a month later, following Hiashi's advice and Sandaime Hokage's consideration, they decided to have the 'Toad Sage', Jiraiya, take you as his disciple.]

[Because everyone understood clearly: while an explosive ability possessed great destructive power, it also carried extreme danger!]

[If not properly controlled and mastered, it would pose a significant safety hazard!]

[You, and Deidara from the Land of Earth, were prime examples.]

[To control your power, you decided to embark on a training journey with Jiraiya.]

[On the day you turned 13, you waved goodbye to everyone in the village.]
