Chapter 211: Ryoto vs Yoruichi 2

(Ryoto's pov)

At first, Yoruichi was surprised, but moments later, a grin returned to her face.

"It looks like we had the same idea, and it turned into the same technique. I just invented it not long ago, and I made these special clothes because Shunko, as I call it, ripping my clothes off, just like yours."

I was curious when she got those clothes because I remembered that the clothes that Yoruichi was currently wearing were made explicitly for the use of Shunko. Leaving the back and sides open and without any sleeves makes Shunko safe for clothes. Otherwise, it destroys upper body garments. In short, it's the perfect technique for me, and it even comes with a cool effect.

Speaking of which, it looks like I have fire-type Shunko, which is fitting since I was always more talented in fire bending than water bending, even though I learned water bending first fire was always easier to learn, and it can't be because of my personality as I'm as calm as a millpond.

Never in my life have I been angered.

I thought as I remembered my time on my first otherworldly quest.

Yep, I was calm the whole time and never lost control over my emotions.

Joking aside, I deliberately used fire-type Kido for my Shunko for mainly two reasons. First is firepower. Expect Getsuga Tenshou. I don't have a finishing attack. While I could use Kido by itself, Shunko has more power. I also could use it as a combo while using Zangetsu. Yoruichi chose to prioritize speed, and Soi Fon used the wind to have both but not as powerful as either of the two.

Now focusing on Yoruichi once again, I wonder what will win. Unimaginable speed or Unimaginable power? An obvious answer would be neither, but as power can't hit the target and speed doesn't have enough power.

Shunko, however, isn't the only trick in our sleeves (which we don't have at the moment). In a fight, we are using our hand-to-hand combat experience and tactics. There's also the fact that our technique isn't complete, so it doesn't have the power it could possess, but that's what training is for.

Yoruichi, even faster than before, rushed at me and attempted to kick me. At the same time, I did a low sliding kick to make her fall which I succeeded at doing, but Yoruichi wasn't one to just take a beating, and while in the air, she kicked me in the chest with all her might. It didn't help as I was halfway through a spinning kick which made me wide open.

I flew into a giant boulder leaving a mark on it, the shape of my body. Even incomplete Shunko still packs a punch, and if I didn't focus my own Shunko where Yoruichi had kicked me, it would have hurt even more. Who am I kidding? I would be lying on the ground if I didn't do anything.

I deactivated my ability.

It ended much faster than I anticipated. I didn't use this ability for some time since my time with it is very limited, and I wanted to have it as a trump card, but I feel like I've gotten a lot stronger in these five years, so I allowed myself to use it. I also figured out something interesting about it. The calmer I am, the better I can use 'prediction calculation'. It's not like it's more powerful in my calm state, but I can notice more details. I'm still working on it, but this was my test drive if you will.

I got up and helped Yoruichi as well, who was sulking.

"What was that?" She asked.

"One of my trump cards."

"That much, I guessed, but you seemed... emotionless. Like a machine ready to finish your mission."

"You don't need to worry about it. It's just I focused too much and practically ignored my emotions just so I could defeat you... and I did." I said proudly.

"You are going to rub this to my face, aren't you?"

"Without any remorse, and you would do the same in place," I said with a grin.

"...I hate that you are right."

(E/D: Just like Dr. House. He is always right and it is sickening, even for him.)
