I saw my sensei's look and scoffed "Don't make that face at me. Is it any surprise that I would try to categorize and add logic to even something like romance given how well you know me? As I said earlier I believe we were too young to think about such things and thus hadn't had any such feelings towards Karin unlike her towards me. That may ge now that I am aware of it but you 't expect me to suddenly fall head over heels for her." I said and she thought about it for a moment before sighing and nodding in agreement.

  Nothing I had said was wrong given the circumstances and sad as that may seem assuming that me knowing how Kari would automatically make me reciprocate those feelings was ft out foolish. Karin was a good choice of partners for me to begin with since we got along quite well after living together for so long so while learning she held feeling for me came as a surprise I wasn't against the idea of pairing up with her. Holy it wouldn't really ge much as far as I saw it beyond taking us both off the market.-

  "So are you going to start dating now?" my sensei asked curiously.

  "Up to Karin. I'm not the one pursuing her after all but rather it's her that pursues me so naturally she will o put in the work if she wants to get me." I said holy.

  "I almost pity the girl given yh standards in every ard." she said with amused look.

  "Enough about that though, I o uand fully what the shat bit me has doo me before I seek it out to cut off it's head." I said seriously and she nodded.

  "I've tried to take blood samples after this transformation finished but well I failed. Your body is too tough to pierce through with any needle now, not even the chakra metal ones he used to cause this. I thought of using chakra but not even my chakra scalpel could leave more than a white mark on your skin." She said with a helpless look.

  "Hmm, give me a moment." I said and created a cw of chakra on my pointer fihat I then pressed against my wrist hard.

  "SKKKKRRRRREEEE!"

  The sound of metal grinding against metal sounded out as my cw slid ay skin but failed to pee at all.

  "Fihen, the hard way it is then." I muttered and reabsorbed the chakra cw before projeg chakra out of my finger again that swirled before f a small bead sized lightning [rasengan] that I sent straight at my wrist.

  Sparks flew as the miniaturized jutsu drilled against my skin and I finally felt some pain as it started to dig ever so slowly through my skin to hit a vein at which point I hurriedly tilted my wrist sending the small jutsu harmlessly through the floor as it was deflected.-

  "What was that jutsu?" my sensei asked curiously while not wasting any time colleg my blood in a vial as I forcefully fought against my own bodies healing factor to keep the wound open.

  "Lightning nature [rasengan], I miniaturized it but the principles behind it still work. It could be sidered an S rank jutsu specialized in pierg through tough materials. I hadn't expected it tle so much against my skin, fasating is it not?" I expined genuinely amazed by the sheer defensive quality my flesh had now.

  "Are you insane!? You used an S rank jutsu of all things just to collect blood!?" she excimed in horror.

  "Not at all, even before that s me I could resist most jutsu at B rank and judging by your expnation I assumed I had skipped A rank jutsu in terms of resistand thus only an S rank jutsu or attack might work. I assure you I y pt for the jutsu in a location that wouldn't cause much damage even if it went fully through my arm. Betweeendons and bo an angle for minor injury in the worse case sario." I said calmly.

  "You do uand how ihat sounds right?" she asked and I shrugged.

  "It was the best option I could think of. Though now that you mention it I will o figure out an easier way to draw blood or the summoning jutsu will bee unusable for me." I said with a frown.

  "I give up trying to uand how that brain of yours works. I'll get this to the b to see what I figure out. In the meanwhile I expect you to take it easy for the foreseeable future and I mean it Kenzo. No training at all AM. I. CLEAR?" she asked with a firm look as she emphasized those st few words.

  I relutly agreed since while I holy felt better thahere was no telling what would happen if I tried to really push things. I had just gohrough a fual transformation after all and such things were never simple matters. It wasly the same thing but it was sort of how an Uchiha was affected by their eyes the further along they develop.-

  It was sort of an ope but the sharingan caused the wielder to bee colder and more emotionally unstable the further their eyes developed. This was theorized to be because their eyes made it impossible tet things they saw including traumatic stuff. The phrase "all wounds heal with time" doesn't apply to them as a result meaning they felt that same emotioime they recalled any i as if they were still experieng that i. It only got so much worse the more drastic the transformation of their eyes as each further stage of development required a stronger emotional trigger tha.-

  My own transformation probably didn't have such a nasty side to it but I REALLY wasn't willing to test that Idea without some evideo back it up first. I was a little peeved that I couldn't work on my chakra armor too since I felt as if my chakra was smoother and more obedient. Just the ease by which I was able to summon that d lightning [rasengan] earlier roof enough for me to make that assumption as her of those were simple teiques.
