Chapter 2.5: Pre-Chunin Exams
Sigmund nodded his head as he watched Nanami's demonstration. He was impressed but her repetitive disappearing and reappearing trick would eventually become predictable and someone will eventually start catching on to her little trick unfortunately. It took chakra to keep it up too and if she kept excessively doing it, she would tire herself so much quicker, especially if kept using her new technique. Akuma-sensei explained her supporting role and he was completely okay with that. She was the smarts after all and he were the bronze. She would be able to read the battle field must faster than he and Nori could.
That's when Akuma-sensei said it was his turn. "With pleasure, sensei," he said as he threw off his coat and tossed it away from them. He stepped away from them because things could get ugly. He took a battle stance, crossing his arms in an x shape across his chest and closed his eyes. His team could hear bone cracking and starting witnessing bones popping out of his skin, from his shoulders, all over his arms, in the palm of his hands, and his torso. He reopened his eyes and when he did, they had changed color from his dark blue to a bright green. He seemed to have red lining outlining the bottom of his eyes, resembling his unknown late father, Kimimar. "I call this one Dance of the Larch. Very deadly if someone ever comes close. Incredibly fast and incredibly troublesome for all taijutsu users," he said, seeing the darkness in his eyes.
"It's the third of my five dances I have planned for myself. From my body, several bones pop out all at once. The stronger the opponent's physical attack, the more powerful the counter attack is, dealing severe damage. The sudden defence, combined with the needle-like bones high killing ability, makes way for a technique which has great potential for battle," he began to explain his dance. "The bones can be used to block or trap an opponent's taijutsu strikes. In addition to being an unwelcome surprise for opponents, it makes me basically untouchable at close range. If an opponent would start to get close to me, I will begin to spin rapidly slashing the foe in multiple areas," he finished and then stood up straight. "The only down fall to this technique is that I can't hold this form for long just yet. It takes too much of my chakra to maintain. 10 seconds is the best I can do if I gradually build up my kekkei techniques using the other two first," and as he explained this, his bones began to start retracing back inside his body, making minor crackling sounds and the red underneath his eyes vanished. "If I go straight to this jutsu without buildup, only 20 seconds," he finished, clearly showing them he couldn't hold it anymore. His eyes final turned back to blue.
