Chapter 16 - C16 Soutarou Senju, The Sieryū (Azure Dragon) (III)

~Everyone present at Fugaku VS Soutarou POV~

Soutarou thought to himself, 'I have no clue how this part of the jutsu works. I hope I aimed right…'

Everyone else was staring in horror at the massive forming lightning jutsu at the moment Setsuna and Tsunade had noticed Fugaku had no chakra left and SETSUNA screamed, "FUGAKU GET OUT OF THERE!"

Mito's chakra flared as a golden cloak surrounded her and she shot off faster than sound while on the other Soutarou who had gone deaf from the overly powered chidori brought his hand down causing the lightning dragon to crash down on Mito and Fugaku. Thanks to promptly entering nine tails chakra mode, Mito was able to push Fugaku out of the way, though the same couldn't be said about her or the summon Garuda. Mito's scream resounded as both Tsunade and Setsuna restrained Soutarou and Fugaku, promptly ending the match. At the same time Hiruzen formed seals rapidly with Yuya, Kushina, Mikoto, and Naori following suit and they cast a massive wind jutsu in an attempt to disperse the lightning jutsu. 

'Wind style: Infinite Breakthrough!' (Yuya, Naori, and Hiruzen)

'Wind style: Great Breakthrough!' (Mikoto and Kushina)

As the lightning began to fade, Tsunade rushed off towards Mito, whose hair was frizzed beyond recognition and her shimmering golden cloak flickered erratically. Mito shook herself awake as she stared at Soutarou in half-annoyance and shock. While it might seem Mito was ok, in fact she was forcing herself up using the nine-tails regeneration to offset the damage. Soutarou realizing now that Fugaku barely had any chakra left, realized how over the top he went, and went to quickly moved over to Mito and used earth manipulation to create a shock absorber that latched on to Mito's arm at the same time he blew a wind breeze over here using, a modified 'Wind Style: Gale Palm' known as 'Gale Breath.' 

Mito shook out the remaining lightning in her system by rapidly forming seals and shooting a massive overcharged jutsu into the air, 'Lightning Style: False Darkness.'

Seeing the quantity of lightning shot off, everyone started sweatdropping, especially Fugaku who was now shivering and muttered, "Were you trying to not even leave a corpse?"

Soutarou strained a smile out and said, "That was the first time I used that jutsu… it wasn't supposed to be that strong… It was due to all the water you evaporated that the cloud I was trying to form became even bigger and as a result the jutsu got a bit… over powered… and before you ask no I didn't have that much chakra left to use a jutsu of that scale it was just pure environmental lightning that I manipulated… though to be honest I couldn't aim it properly…" 

Everyone started sweating even more before Mito grunted out, "Brat. Everytime I let you use jutsu you go and break all the notions of what jutsu should be used for. From now on I'm banning you from using S-Rank jutsu at all. And where the hell did you learn the hard whirlpool water blade? Neither Tsunade nor Me gave you access to that scroll nor did we give you access to-"

Soutarou grumbled, "Taking all the fun out of learning… No you didn't show me either hard whirlpool blade or water dragon biting explosion… I just figured it out on my own using the notes that were left in the water style scroll and my Rasengan was the basis for that hard whirlpool blade… to be honest today was the first time I used hard whirlpool blade or Kirin. 

Mito's brows furrowed at his ridiculous claims and she uttered, "Brat… you're saying if I even give you the basic ninjutsu you're going to figure out an S-Rank version of that jutsu?"

Hiruzen was the one who really wanted to say something, but held back until Mito finished. Mito added, "Fine whatever obviously Fugaku lost this battle, I hope no one disagrees, but Soutarou this isn't the end of this conversation."

Yuya and Setsuna nodded before Yuya added, "Fugaku, would you like to say something?"

Fugaku's gaze was still lowered before he looked up in slight admiration and a bit of a grimace and loss before saying, "Soutarou Senju, the Sieryū you have won this battle I hope this does not affect our relationship. I was simply following my clan's will."

Soutarou just looked confused before nodding and saying, "the Sieryū? Is that my title…?"

Everyone looked quite happy with Fugaku's statement while Mikoto was simply staring at Soutarou with hearts almost forming in her eyes. Regardless, the event wrapped up quickly as everyone was absent minded and thinking about Soutarou's absolute genius….

~Back at the Senju Estate, Mikoto, Kushina, Tsunade, and Naori POV~

Soutarou was currently getting spanked by Mito and cursing at Mito, while Kushina looked at Mikoto with jealousy and Naori looked at Mikoto with an unhappy face. On the other hand Tsunade was just confused and happy Soutarou won. Mikoto stared with a blank happy and unerasable smile at Soutarou. Obviously Mito noticed this and the others emotions and decided to punish the boy by throwing him to the wolves and she quickly made her way out. The moment Mito left Naori jumped Soutarou and stared at him with her Mangekyo Sharingan putting him under a sort of illusion that would force the truth out. 

Without waiting for anyone else and likely hoping nobody would interfere, Naori spoke in a deep voice, "Soutarou what's your real opinion on everyone here? Do you actually care for us like we care for you?"

Soutarou blankly responded in an almost robotic manner, "I love all of you, I couldn't bear to let myself hurt any of you. So I have to be selfish, I have to be greedy. I want all of you. If it meant saving one of you I'd sacrifice my life without hesitation, because to me you're already family."

Mikoto didn't react much other than softly smiling. On the other hand Tsunade suddenly found her face a bit flush, while Kushina grinned absent mindedly, and Naori's sharingan swirled for a moment before she too smiled and broke the genjutsu on Soutarou. Naori, knowing that Tsunade and Kushina wouldn't understand, dragged the two out of the room before saying, "Don't take too long."

 ~Soutarou POV~

Mikoto smiled at Soutarou and said, "You did it… and so fast too… I thought I'd have to wait… but I guess Soutarou always knows what I want… You playboy… you're just too good at messing with a girl's heart aren't you?"

Soutarou strained a smile and said, "I haven't a clue about what you're talking about, I'm just an innocent little boy."

Mikoto snorted before rushing in before Soutarou could react and she quickly planted her lips on his and stared into his eyes, before his arms went slack and he kissed back, albeit very shortly before he pulled away only to find his mouth hanging wide open at a terrifying sight…

In Mikoto's eyes were two black suns… Soutarou, who knew this exact pattern accidently muttered, "O-ohirume…"

Mikoto didn't notice her eyes had changed or anything Soutarou had said, instead she stared at Soutarou with love and happiness. She slowly traced his lips before nuzzling herself right into Soutarou's shoulder and softly inhaling his scent. Soutarou on the other hand finally calmed down after a notification went off… 

[Ding! Congratulations host! Mikoto's love rating has reached 10/10, "absolute devotion."]

[User gains from Mikoto Uchiha, Sage Eye Bloodline (Pure)... due to Uchiha Mikoto's proper Mangekyo awakening rather than the crude method that descendents of the Sage have been using for eons, she has realized a natural Pure Mangekyo that will not blind herself similar to Indra Otsutsuki's eyes.]

[Quest line completion… Save Mikoto from her Engagement ... Rewards: Amenomihashira and methods of elemental integration for it. Bonus Rewards: natural extreme nerve response time and extreme heightened visual prowess]

While Mikoto was fiddling with Soutarou's hair and hugging him and looped over his shoulder. Soutarou's eyes began to burn as a three tomoe pattern emerged from his eyes quickly turning into a swirl like a whirlpool. He quickly closed his eyes and deactivated it promptly. At the same time even without his eyes everything seemed to slow down in real time as Soutarou's eyes even noticed the floating dust particles in the air. 

'Jackpot!… though using those eyes could be a bit complicated…not that I'll need them for anything other than copying jutsu and genjutsu and maybe enhancing my vision even more… though… maybe it's a good idea to take a look at my Ocular Technique… well that's for the future… for now lets focus on Mikoto.'

With that Soutarou hugged Mikoto back and simply pressed his forehead against her and said, "Just don't bother me again when I'm training Mikoto."

Mikoto smiled and chuckled at his reference to the first time they met and closed her eyes before saying, "Thank you Soutarou."

….

~Mikoto POV Later~

Mikoto stared at the mirror as she noticed her sharingan pattern and muttered, 'Mangekyo? My ocular technique is something called Orihume and I can already access Susanoo? Wait, didn't Soutarou mutter something about my ocular technique? Don't tell me falling in love with him awakened my eyes! This… well for Soutarou I suppose it's fine… My love for him is eternal. He can't do anything wrong after all… I wonder what my status looks like now… Status!'

'Is Mangekyo that strong? I wonder what my eye ability gives me… gravity and space-time control? Along with something called a black hole…? What's a black hole? Whatever I remember grandpa said to never use the Mangekyo unless one is on the verge of death… it saps away the ocular power and causes the user to be blind… but why is my Mangekyo so different? I didn't feel my eyes burn, nor did I feel anything different… and my eyes awakened from love not hatred, agony, or suffering like everyone else does… My grandpa said Mangekyo can only be awakened by those who are extremely talented and those who've suffered true loss… What does that mean for me…?'

'Perhaps I can reach the level of our ancestor? For Soutarou getting that strong maybe worth it… My Soutarou… as for the other girls if I'm strong enough they won't be a problem… Soutarou and Me with the strength of Madara-sama and Hashirama-sama who could stop us… ahh… maybe I should start planning our children's names. Yes…'

Mikoto's mangekyo activated again and glowed brightly, spinning quicker and quicker…

'Soutarou…~'

~Soutarou POV~

Sitting alone in his room near a mirror, Soutarou stared at his Mangekyo.

'Damn I didn't get the same techniques as Mikoto… Mikoto's eyes are the most busted… instead I got Yaoyorozu Shinden (Temple of the Myriad Gods) and Tenmei Jingū (Divine Mandate)…? Let's see… store mangekyo abilities… and store kekkei genkai, tota, and if I have enough ocular prowess kekkei mora…? What? This… this is… ah. Never mind, I suppose this is fine. Wait, how does this Mangekyo ability even work? I have to understand the innate mechanics… and what the pattern looks like? Wait, doesn't this mean…'

[New Mangekyo Abilities Available: Dual Kamui, Dual Kotoamatsukami, Dual Ohirume, Amaterasu, Kagutsuchi, Tsukuyomi, Izanagi, and Izanami.]

'Isn't this too broken? Even the other ability to copy Kekkei Genkai… well at least for that one I have to at least see the techniques and possess the corresponding chakra natures. Which… I now possess all of them including Yin…'

Glancing over Soutarou, look at his new status panel…

'??? Wait what?'

'How?'

'Shit… well I guess I need to be careful, but Kaguya was always a threat.
