Against The Gods With An Anime System

"Yeah, I guess that makes sense. Well since you're not taking back those two powers, let me at least give something back in return. Even though it's nowhere near enough to settle this debt of gratitude I have with you, it's at least a start."

And so instead of staying at an inn, Hei would camp out in the woods for that day. Jasmine and Ophis both came out as well. After getting a campfire started and grilling some meat for them eat, Jasmine started talking about a technique of hers called the Star God Broken Shadow. It is a movement technique that allows one to gain such extreme speed that they leave behind after images that are indistinguishable from the real one. Activating his EMS (Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan) Hei watches on as Jasmine demonstrates the Star God Broken Shadow in front of him.

*DING ["Sir, you have just observed the Star God Broken Shadow technique. Do you wish to comprehend this technique?"]

['Yes JARVIS.']

["Understood sir. Comprehension of the Star God Broken Shadow in progress.

....

....

....

....

Congratulations sir, you are now capable of using the Star God Broken Shadow (currently at Stage 1)"]

"Thanks Jasmine, I got it." said Hei as he immediately demonstrated the Star God Broken Shadow in front of them.

"{sigh}…. As broken as always I see. Well, I still have one more Profound Art for you. But it depends. Are you going to use a heavy sword as your main weapon?" asked Jasmine.

"I am going to use a heavy sword, but not exclusively. I like to think of myself as a jack of all trades, master of all." Said Hei with a confident smirk.

"Doesn't the saying go: Jack of all trades, master of none." Said Ophis confused.

"Normally, yes. But in my case, every weapon I get my hands on, I'll immediately be an expert with it.

Doesn't matter if it's a spear, a sword, an axe, a dagger or whatever weapon, I'm a master with all of them." Said Hei with a continued confident smirk.

"Meh…... Good enough. I'll take with I can I get with you. This next one is a profound art called the Great Way of Buddha. It is an extremely difficult skill to cultivate and depends on ones' comprehension ability. My brother, who was one the most celebrated geniuses in the God's Realm, managed to comprehend it in 33 days. But compared to you, that is just a snail's pace so I think you'll comprehend it quickly if not instantly." Said Jasmine as she placed her hand on Hei's forehead and imparted the first stage of the Great Way of Buddha to him.

DING* ["Sir, you have just been granted the Great Way of Buddha. Would you like to comprehend it?"]

["Yes"]

["Understood sir. Comprehension of the Great Way of Buddha in progress.

....

....

....

....

Congratulations sir, you have just comprehended the Great Way of Buddha."]

'Alright, let's see... Huh? Great Way of Buddha: a profound art that uses the energy from Heaven and Earth to increase the users arm strength and grant restorative powers. Unlike other profound arts that exist in the Profound Veins, the Great Way of Buddha exist everywhere in the body, except the Profound Veins. In summary, this skill gives a permanent boost to arm strength and gives a regenerative skill as well. This skill is a lot like senjutsu, with the main difference that senjutsu is a temporary power boost that boost both physical strength and profound strength and Great Way of Buddha is a permanent power boost only to the physical strength department.' Thought Hei to himself as he was busy comprehending this skill.

Just across from him, Jasmine and Ophis were sitting there and eating their meal and occasionally looking over to Hei. Five minutes after Jasmine had given him the Great Way of Buddha, a silver pagoda mark appeared on his forehead, in the same place where his golden Phoenix mark is.

'Jeez… What a surprise. It took him 5 minutes to comprehend a skill that took my brother 33 days to comprehend. I wonder how long this skill will be useful to him until he has something that'll make the Great Way of Buddha obsolete.' Thought Jasmine to herself sarcastically as she watched Hei comprehend the Great Way of Buddha. An hour later Hei stopped his cultivating for the night and went to sleep while the girls went to their bed in the Sky Poison Pearl.

The next day, after getting up early, Hei took Articuno and continued on his way to Blue Wind Imperial City. It took him until late in the afternoon when he finally made it to Blue Wind Imperial City.

Blue Wind Imperial City, or Blue Wind Empire's capital, was located in the Blue Wind Empire's central-northern regions, and was also Blue Wind Empire's biggest city; its area was more than thirty times the size of New Moon City. In the dead center of the imperial city, laid the pinnacle of authority in Blue Wind Empire —— The Imperial Palace.

Forty miles straight north from the location of the Imperial Palace laid the Blue Wind Empire's greatest Profound Palace —— The Blue Wind Profound Palace.

And so Hei began walking towards the Blue Wind Profound Palace. As he walked up to the main entrance, Hei could see a man clad in purple, who happened to look over to him and smiled when he saw him and came over. Upon closer inspection, it seems that this purple clad man is New Moon Profound Palace chief Qin Wuyou.

"Ahh, Hei Uchiha! How wonderful to finally have you here!"

"Palace Chief Qin? What are you doing here?" Asked Hei curiously to keep up appearance, while he already knew that he would meet Palace Chief Qin here.

"Why talk here. Come with me inside and we can talk while also getting your enrolment into the Blue Wind Profound Palace in order." Said Palace Chief Qin as he took Hei with him inside. While they were walking they started talking.

"So, to answer your previous question. Lan Xueruo has brought me here since she told me that she would come here and that you would come here as well. Let me tell you, after that whole debacle with the Xiao Branch Sect back at New Moon City and your subsequent disappearance, I went mad with concern that something happened to you. Is was only after Lan Xueruo came to me and told me everything that I was finally at ease. And Lan Xueruo has been very impatient these last few days. She has been coming to me every day to ask if I heard anything about your arrival here." Said Palace Chief Qin with a smile on his face.

"Well then, it's good thing that I'm here now. I can get her to finally be at ease and she won't be bothering you anymore. Besides, what happened to the Xiao Branch Sect?" asked Hei.

"Ahahahaha…... They're almost done fore. After that whole debacle with you severely injuring Xiao Luocheng, they started searching for a doctor to treat him. Somehow they hired some quack who, instead of healing Xiao Luocheng, just swiped their entire vault empty and I heard he disappeared into thin air. And just as astonishing, Xiao Zaihe disappeared as well. Nobody has heard anything from him since the day of the ceremony at the New Moon Profound Palace." Said Palace Chief Qin.

"Well then, serves them right if you ask me. Well then, if you'll excuse me, I will find Sister Xueruo and tell her not to bother you anymore." Said Hei with a smile as he walked away.

Walking around the courtyard, he could see many people hanging out around the gardens and talking with each other on the walkways. Looking around Hei was surprised to find two people he actually didn't expect to see here. There on a bench next to a pond were Yun Che and Xia Yuanba sitting together with Cang Yue and laughing with each other. As he was walking towards them he saw another guy coming over to them as well, Murong Ye. As he got closer to them, Yun Che and Xia Yuanba decided to make themselves scarce and immediately left, leaving Cang Yue alone with Murong Ye. Cang Yue smile just dropped upon Murong Ye's arrival and she started to just ignore him and didn't even bother looking in his direction. Seeing Cang Yue's plight, Hei walked over to save her from the clingiest guy who just refused understand when a woman had no interest in him and kept pestering her.

"Ahh! Lan Xueruo, it has been such long a time!" said Hei to Cang Yue to which she immediately perked up and come over leaving Murong Ye with a rejected and angry look on his face.

"Hei! I've missed you so much!" said Cang Yue as she ran over and gave Hei a hug. Seeing this happen made Murong Ye snap and he rushed over immediately.

"UNHAND HER YOU SWINE!!" Yelled Murong Ye at Hei at the top of his lungs causing both Hei and Cang Yue to look at him in disgust and anger at his actions.

"Sister Xueruo, where you with this guy?" asked Hei

"No! I don't even want to talk to him. I told him I had no interest in him what so ever but he just keeps coming and chasing away my friends. At some point I was so tired of telling him to get lost that I just ignored him whenever he came over again." Said Cang Yue with disgust in her face causing Murong Ye get even angrier. Seeing that the situation would go south, Hei let go of Cang Yue and stood in front of her in between her and Murong Ye.

"Listen here buddy. Some free piece advice for you, woman don't like clingy and possessive man. Especially not ones that don't get it when a woman hates them for bothering her and chasing away her friends. So I suggest you do us all a favor and f.u.c.k off." Said Hei.

"You filthy mongrel! How dare you speak to me like that! Sister Xueruo belongs to me and no one else!!" screamed Murong Ye as he flashed forward with a sword and pierced towards Hei's head.

Cang Yue just stood there calmly, because she already knew how this would end up. As Murong Ye's sword was just inches away from Hei's head he moved his head sideways so fast that it seemed as he blurred out of the path of the sword. Seeing that his attack had missed, Murong Ye retracted his sword for a second attack only for Hei to appear right in his face. Reinforcing his forehead with Haki, Hei head-butted Murong Ye in the nose and mouth so hard that he broke his nose and knocked out his front teeth. This attack launched Murong Ye away, right into the bench that he was sitting on a few yards away with his face and clothes covered in blood and his teeth on the ground, he looked incredibly pathetic.

Murong Ye who was in extreme pain with his broken nose and knocked out teeth got up and looks over to Hei and sees him wiping his face with a towel and then throwing that that same towel straight into his face.

"Clean yourself up. You're a disgrace." Said Hei with disgust in his voice and then spit on the ground next to him before he walked back to Cang Yue.

"Come Sister Xueruo, let's not stay with this piece of filth any longer." Said Hei as he happily led Cang Yue away from Murong Ye.

"You will regret this…. Before long, I'll make you regret having been born into this world Hei Uchiha!" said Murong Ye as he watched Hei and Cang Yue walk away from him.
