Chapter. 32.5- One Thousand Hands

After that flex, kizuru stepped off the metaphorical stage, and Omoikane replaced him by what seemed to be broad consensus. “I can use both fire and earth release really well. I know a few wind release techniques from Uncle Danzo, but nothing groundbreaking. My taijutsu is really good and I can summon a monkey but it costs a lot of chakra and he only really fights when he wants to. My genjutsu is passable but I’m good at detecting them” He said, and I nodded at his words. He was on the same team as both Kizuru and Izuku and had been Kagami’s student. What passed as passable in that company was probably in the 90th percentile of people out there. I ignored the way my chest twinged at the thought of Kagami Uchiha- the man whose kill I’d stolen however unwillingly.

“Me next.” Inukuro said, stepping up and practically daring anyone who had a problem with it to fight him. No one did and so we were blessed with the hotheaded teenager taking a second to breathe as if he wasn’t sure what he was going to say. “I’m really good at my clan jutsu, and my taijutsu is also great. I can smell anything for kilometers out depending on the wind. My hearing can be that good as well fits quiet enough. I’m really fast, and I have stamina for miles” He said the last with a wink that wasn’t really directed at anyone and received eye rolls from more than half the class. “Oh, I also know medical ninjutsu.” I wasn’t the only one who raised an eyebrow at that. “I learned some stuff to help with Shiro and it turns out most of the stuff carries over to humans” he explained with a shrug.

“I’ll go after you then” Shiba stepped up, speaking to his teammate before turning to address the rest of us. “I am Shiba Aburame. In my body are several species of insects utilized by my clan. Unlike most members of my clan who play host to two to three species of insects, I am host to Bikōchū, Rinkaichū, Kidaichū, Kikaichū, Kochū, and Shōkaichū. This means I can play the roles of a sensor, tracker, combatant, assassin, and diversion specialist as needed” He said “A regular jack of all trades this one” Izuku said with a chuckle but I could see the way his eyes laid on Shiba. They were assessing. So were mine. Six species of insects was double what even the most skilled Aburame could boast. There had to be something unique about him that made him uniquely suited for it. It also made him dangerous.

“Finally my turn. I can use my clan’s mind techniques and I am also a sensor. I have good taijutsu and kenjutsu as well” Inoken said, briefly unsheathing the tanto strapped to his back to show it off.

“I also can use my clan’s techniques and I have good taijutsu and kenjutsu, same as Inoken” Choni said immediately after her teammate had spoken.. I could feel the gears in my brain begin to turn. Kenjutsu? Shika had a tanto as well.
