On a beautiful morning, the sun's rays gently streamed into Haruka's room. Seated at her desk, Haruka found herself lost in thoughts, reflecting on the recent events involving the blob attack. It was a wake-up call for her, making her realize that she hadn't encountered the full range of demons that existed in the world. She acknowledged that her current skills were insufficient to handle situations where demons possessed abilities beyond the ordinary fodder she had faced before.
Her gaze fell upon a scroll resting on her desk, a scroll she hadn't paid much attention to since discovering the curse that transformed her into a futanari. Curiosity sparked within her, and she decided it was time to delve into its contents and learn a new ninjutsu technique that could aid her in future battles. With a determined mindset, she began reading through the scroll, exploring the different special techniques it held.
As she perused the pages, her eyes fell upon the technique she had witnessed Setsuna employ during the battle with the slime. It described a method where the user focused their spirit energy into their hand, releasing it through their palm to unleash a powerful force. Recalling how that move had saved her, Haruka thought it could serve as a good starting point for her to learn a new technique.
Moments later, Haruka found herself in the training yard behind her house, ready to practice the ninjutsu technique. However, as she attempted to generate the energy in her hand, she encountered difficulty. Time passed, and frustration started to creep in as she struggled to achieve the desired result. Exhausted and disheartened, she decided to take a break, sitting down to catch her breath.
Sitting there, she stared at her hand, contemplating her own abilities. Doubts filled her mind as she wondered if she could even master this technique, let alone the others within the scroll. A wave of uncertainty washed over her, and she closed her fist, contemplating her next move.
Realizing that she needed guidance, Haruka made a decision. She would seek assistance from her sister, Setsuna, to gain a better understanding of how to effectively use the palm disperse technique. Determined to learn and grow, Haruka closed the scroll and prepared to seek Setsuna's guidance, knowing that with her sister's help, she could unlock the secrets of the technique and further her skills as a demon hunter.As Haruka walks into the living room, she notices Setsuna lying on the couch, engrossed in a handheld game and casually snacking on chips. Doubt flickers in Haruka's mind as she questions whether Setsuna truly embodies the essence of a ninja. Nonetheless, she gathers her resolve and approaches her sister, seeking assistance.
Setsuna glances at Haruka from her relaxed position on the couch, playfully addressing her as "little sister." Haruka hesitates but musters the courage to ask Setsuna if she knows any tips for mastering the palm disperse technique. Setsuna, still lounging lazily, responds, acknowledging that Haruka followed the steps in the scroll. Haruka confirms this but admits her struggle to draw energy into her hand, wondering if she is missing something crucial.
Setsuna, donning a snarky demeanor, quips that perhaps Haruka simply needs to "get good." Annoyed by the unhelpful remark, Haruka's frustration surfaces, and she protests. Setsuna chuckles lightly and, after a moment of contemplation, poses a thoughtful question: Is Haruka truly focusing her energy correctly?
Haruka, determined and slightly defensive, affirms that she is indeed concentrating as she should. Nevertheless, the desired results elude her. Setsuna sighs, realizing that actions speak louder than words, and suggests demonstrating the technique to Haruka. Her face brightens with enthusiasm, Haruka gratefully agrees, eager to witness Setsuna's expertise firsthand.
The two sisters make their way to the yard, anticipation and hope fueling Haruka's steps.As they step into the yard, Haruka takes her position on the sidelines, observing intently. Setsuna, wearing a serious expression, confidently strides towards the center. With swift and deliberate movements, she assumes a focused stance, capturing Haruka's attention.
Haruka's senses tingle as an intense energy envelops Setsuna's palm, coalescing into a concentrated point. Setsuna withdraws her arm, then propels it forward in a swift motion, releasing the palm strike straight ahead. Haruka's eyes widen in awe, realizing the skill and mastery exhibited by her sister. Despite Setsuna's casual demeanor at home, her true ninja nature shines through.
Setsuna returns to Haruka's side, her face betraying a hint of satisfaction. She asks Haruka for her thoughts on the display. Still captivated by the spectacle, Haruka expresses her admiration, praising Setsuna's graceful stance and fluid movements. Setsuna accepts the compliment with a sense of contentment, but her tone quickly shifts as she imparts a valuable lesson to Haruka.
She emphasizes that if Haruka wishes to perform any of the techniques from the scroll, she must cultivate a clear mind and focus solely on the task at hand. Setsuna stresses the importance of wholeheartedly committing herself to the execution of each technique, as anything less would render their attempts meaningless.
As Setsuna retreats back into the house, Haruka absorbs her sister's words, reflecting on the path that lies before her. She realizes that she still has a long journey ahead, filled with challenges and self-discovery.
Several days have passed since Haruka began her relentless pursuit of mastering the new technique. Despite witnessing her sister's demonstration and practicing diligently, she still struggled to execute the move with precision. However, fate had a way of providing opportunities for growth.
While on patrol, Haruka unexpectedly encounters a formidable monster. Reacting swiftly, she attempts to halt its advance, only to be met with the shock of her sword being deflected by the creature's impenetrable shell. Startled, she leaps backward, her mind racing to devise a plan. In that moment, her sister's words echo in her thoughts, urging her to embrace a clear mind and unwavering focus.
Drawing upon her resolve, Haruka recalls the steps of the technique and decides to put it to the test. As the monster darts around, she leaps down, assuming her stance and calming her racing thoughts. The creature catches sight of her and charges forward, sensing an opportunity for attack. Undeterred, Haruka directs her attention solely on her target, shutting out all distractions.
As the monster draws nearer, the spirit energy within Haruka's hand intensifies, growing with each passing moment. With a resolute mind, she utters the words, "Palm Disperse." In a mesmerizing display, the monster hurtles directly into her outstretched hand, succumbing to the powerful force contained within. The creature detonates from the inside, fragments scattering in all directions.
Haruka finds herself overwhelmed with a mixture of astonishment and triumph. She stands amidst the aftermath of her feat, unable to contain her exhilaration. Pumping her fist in victory, she realizes that she has finally accomplished the full execution of the technique she yearned to master. In this moment of triumph, Haruka embraces the knowledge that her perseverance and unwavering focus have borne fruit, solidifying her growth as a skilled warrior.
