"So you still won't tell me what's happening to you ?" My dad asked me with a frown, his arms crossed.
In our living where only me and my dad were sitting on the floor staring at each other and discussing about something without mom who went to buy groceries.
"Depends on what you trying to say" I replied calmly.
"Are you really going to play the ignorance game with me, Son ?" He asked with slight irritation in his tone.
"..."
"Have you looked at yourself in the mirror lately ?" He asked again.
"I feel fine-"
*BAM!*
"SON !!" My dad shouted in anger.
"..."
"Do you take us for some dumbass stupid fucker of parents that don't care about the well-being of our fucking OWN blood and flesh ?!" He angrily said with veins on his forhead, wisps of chakra getting released around him.
"No" I replied codly.
"THEN WHAT ARE YOU HIDING FROM US ?!" He shouted with his chakra getting released around the room which made some cracks on the wall and mundane things began to fall around the room.
"Nothin-"
"SON ! My own child is anything but a liar, And I know for a reason that you never lied to us even once through the entire 11 years of your life, So I hope it stays this way and tell me what's up with you !" He said sternly as he narrowed his eyes at me.
I can't really blame him tho, Just look at my lustrous shiny and spiky snow white hair a few months back but now its now full of orange-red follicles mixed with the whites, You normally will realise that something is not right.
"Do you know how much your mother worries about you ? Do you think I can't sense what's happening in your room every single night with you rolling around the floor, letting out muffled sounds of pain ? Have you ever looked at yourself to realise how your hair is changing, Your height increasing at an alarming rate, your blood vessels around your sclera popping out and about how it's slowly turning red ? " He said with his teeth gritted.
"We spoiled you too much and tolerated you for coming back home every single day with somewhere broken or blood all over your body. from the moment we knew you were a cripple, we just couldn't bring our hearts to say no to whatever shit you are doing but don't you think that this is enough ?" He said to me which I just clenched my hands at and looked at him coldly.
"I know you are mature enough to realise this, Heck you even becoming taller than me now that some will mistake you for being a 28 years old or something which with those unrealistic muscles, I can't even blame anyone to assume that, So tell me Son ! I just want to know what's wrong with you, And I think I have the right to know that as your own father" He said in a pleading tone at end which made me grit my teeth more.
"Will you still look at me like your own son when you know what I am ?"I asked and looked at my dad seriously.
"I was there when Ayaka gave birth to you, So nothing can change that fact that you came from me and her, I can assure you of that" He said with a serious nod to me.
'Ok then, let's see if he changes after he sees the real me. If he doesn't change then its good But if he changes, then I think there will be no place in this house for me to live anymore' I thought coldly.
I look at my hands for a few moments before I look back at my dad.
*Krrkrkk *
Much to shock of my dad, I began to transform. My hands turning into claws, my teeth turning into fangs, grow armor on my skin that covered every inch of my body, glowing deep red veins running along my body and hair, My back grew some several holes that glowed an ominous red colour.
"KYAAHHHHH A HUGE COCKROACH !!" My father shouted in exaggeration and immediately jumped back, moving away from me until his back hit the wall of the room and wore a fearful expression on his face.
"My Son was eaten by a cockroach, WHO would have thought ?!" He uttered to himself with sweat running down his face and then a tanto appeared on his hand out of nowhere which made me sweat for a second.
"Don't need to worry, it's me" I said in a deep ominous voice that echoed through the room.
"Shit ! He now acts like him too, What should I tell Ayaka about this ?!" My dad mumbled to himself which pissed me off.
I rub my forhead tiredly as I look at my stupid ass father "Can you just please stop ? I know you just acting" I said.
When I said that, His fearful expression then quickly removed from his face and was replaced by an intrigued one as he slowly came forward me me.
I just stared at him without saying anything as he stretched his hands to touch my armor and started to examine my body with a wide smile as if he found a new toy.
"So ?" I said.
"What ?" He asked without even looking at me as he touched all over my body and I felt his chakra scanning me all over.
"Aren't you disgusted by me ? Don't you fear me ? Don't you want to abandon me now that you know I am this weird ?" I asked multiple questions eich my dad stop for a moment before he looked at eyes which was covered by glowing red, glass like armour.
"Son, I have seen shits way more severe, You just don't know how weird this world of ours is. From giant freaking animals to weird humans who has extra heads and arms which make no sense but this is the reality we live in and we have to adapt, You having your skin turned to armour is more or less could just be a unique Jutsu ninjas do" He explained to me with a smile.
"..."
"Sighh, You may not believe it son but me and your mother were praying ever since that day we knew you were a cripple just for some miracle to happen so that it could help you live in this harsh world of ours when the time comes and we pass away" He added with a sad smile.
"Me and Ayaka are getting old and weaker by the day. When I saw the changes happening to you and how I felt you were becoming stronger every time you came back from training, You just don't know how happy I was for you my son. And now that I have seen you in this form which I suspect is a Kekkei Tota that's very unique to you, a sign that you too can be strong in the future and protect yourself better, I just can now die in peace y'know" He said with a sad smile.
"Don't say that" I said with clenched fists.
I hate it when I become a burden, and now it seems I was just one to my parents all along.
Even though I haven't told him that I am a monster, a different race than humans, but for now, me showing him this form is just enough.
"Enough about this sad things, So what can you do in this state ?!" He excitedly asked me which I just smiled that was hidden underneath my armour.
"It let's me be able to...

2 days later /
"You smell so damn good" I told Tsunade who was buried in my embrace.
"Hehe" She just giggled in response with me smelling the hell out of her with my enhanced nose.
---
A week later /
*PAW PAW*
In Hatake's training ground, two individuals were fighting each other fiercely and exchanging blows after blows on each other's body.
*Swoosh !* ×2
"AHHHHH !" I yelled and delivered a normal powerd up jab at Duy who easily dodged it and punched my face that drew blood from my nose.
With a blindfold on my eyes I backflip far from Duy and then stop to concentrate on my surroundings to try and use my monster senses to 'see'.
*sniff sniff*
I smell the air to feel Duy who was...
"DYNAMIC ENTRY !" He shouted infront of me.
'Tekkai'
With my muscles all contracted around the area the kick was coming from, I waited for the kick to hit me, but instead of hitting my face which I thought it would, it directly hit my vulnerable chest which I just covered it with Tekkai at the last second.
*BAM !*
With the sound of the hit, I was sent flying towards a tree and hit its trunk strongly that made cracks spread all around idue the force.
"Are you alright Master garou ?!" Duy shouted from far.
"Aghh my chest ! Yes I am alright" I muttered and shouted tiredly at Duy with my blindfold still on and slowly get up to get closer to him.
"What are you trying to do Master garou ?! It has already been hours since you are like this !" He said with confusion.
"I am trying to create a new Art to minimize damages that my body takes as much as my body could possibly achieve" I replied.
"Waaa master garou, that's so Youthful of you !" He said with stars in his eyes.
"Yea" I replied with a smile.
I am trying to learn a martial arts I saw from a very clever but ruthless old man that has a vast variety of knowledge in martial arts that was resulted in a century of perfecting his martial arts and countering its weaknesses.
I have figured that my Tekkai is slightly different from the one piece version which it gives an iron like body that sometimes could counter even Haki with only your body.
But that's the case if the person has a very strong physique like Garp and other people from there who are like him.
The difference is that although it hardens my body by leaps and bounds, it absorbs too much force but it doesn't nullify the waves of the force that rattles every bone in my body then crack them.
Duy here is qn example who just now made a very small crack on one of my ribs even though I used Tekkai.
'Or maybe I am just too young and not still in my prime physical fitness ?' I thought seriously.
"Duy-san, I want you to do something" I said as I get into a horse stance infront of Duy.
"What do you want me to do master garou ?!" He asked in confusion.
"I want you to punch my face with all of your base power AND don't stop until I tell you" I said in a stern tone and he nodded seriously.
He came closer and clenched his dominant hand's fist tightly that started to shake because of him putting too much power on that hand.
"Are you ready ?" He asked and I nod with my teeth gritted, still in my horse stance.
*swoosh* *Bam!*
He hit my jaw that strongly which hurt but I didn't care.
"Again !" I cried.
*Paw*
"Aghhh AGAIN" I cried again.
*Paw*
"Again*
*Paw*
1 minute later /
With blood falling down from my face that painted my white pants, some teeth laying on the ground and my whole face was bruised that made it hard for someone to recognize me.
"a...g..ain" I uttered with difficulty, barely could hold up my horse stance and faint right here and then.
"Are you sure master garou ? I know your Youth is blazing like a sun but you don't seem ok to me !" Duy said and I just smiled with my swelled lips.
The key is to flow.
To flow all the force of the punch around my body first from the area that hits my face then around my body to nullify it.
And that flow of force's travel begins at the exact same moment his punch hits, So I have to instead of contraction of my muscles like I always do, This time it's relaxation of them which I figured this out just now.
"ag..a..in' I uttered again but this time ready for the impact.
'Psycho mode'
*swoosh*
With my concentration is now full on alert I lock my eyes at Duy's blooded fist that traveled towards my face quickly.
'Come on, Come onnnn !' I thought as I looked at the fist that was about to hit.
'Annnd NOW !' I yelled in my mind as the fist made contact with my facial muscles.
*Paw*
I relax the muscles on the place the punch hit then guide the force of the punch around those area by creating a pathway for the force to travel through my body which is done by relaxing the muscles just around the hitted area to absorb it's force by creating a vacant area of the same polar and relaxed muscle then contract the previous place where it was the point of impact.
Then I continue to do this until all the force equally spread around my body.
I let out a smirk as this time I didn't even feel I was hit in the first place.
"Bwahahaha it w..as a suc..cess !!" I shout with my now incoherent speech because of all those punches I recieved and I slumped backwards on the ground and look at the sky with a smile.
Ding... { Assimilation %25 > % 26 }
Ding... { You learned ---> Xiaoli Ancient martial arts }
"fuck me !" I said with my fists clenched.
"What happened master garou" I heard Duy ask with a question mark on his head.
"I th..ink we just was..ted our tim..e Duy-san" I said with a little bit of anger as I go through a tiny bit memory I got just now from OG garou about the water stream arts.
'Water stream was called the ultimate art of redirecting forces for a reason it seems'
The End
