Breaking the past

"you're a hard worker, but you search for power, and i have the perfect answer for you." he heard from within his slumber the sweet feminine voice of himself, it seemed quite alarming at first, yet he slowly relaxed to the sound of the voice confusing it for his mother's. "mom, you can't use chakra, at all..." he mumbled, assuming that by now his mother would've let him sleep for just a bit longer, but it wasn't as he assumed. "i've been around your for four years, you never once question the power i could give you, or what exactly i was." the voice tried to explain to kenichi, yet kenichi ignored the voice that tried to explain who it was. kenichi found himself in his usual resting place, his bed, a place he usually has no memory of how he got there the night before. it was time for kenichi to start his day despite the will to sleep for another hour or so. recently he was put into a team, but didn't have the mentally capacity to focus on the other two. kenichi stood in front of the mirror in his room, he examined his all black uniform he fell asleep in last night, he mainly focused on the stains sap left on his uniform, he'd have his black clothes washed later today since most of them had received the sap of trees. but for now he'd head out in this one, he gripped the mace then placed it around to his side, in a similar manner who a katana. he opened his house door then shut it back after he was outside, he began to walk towards his usual training area, a place that was ever changing and this was only due to the fact kenichi has practiced a lot. today he wanted to focus on two things in specific, both of his gravitas mark. which in hope would grant him great effects for future use, but in order to train those marks he'd have to use it until it seemed his body and soul was aching, and push further after that. kenichi would walk to the closest tree which would now be his training target, he placed his lighten palm on the tree, he knew what type of effect it would have if he  was to punch the tree now, it'd be seen as touching the tree that kenichi had made it weaker, but in actuallity he made the tree lighter; his fist would probably only destroy two inches of the trees bark. he needed the power to surpass that his limits, and then more. he gripped his mace by the handle, leaping backwards he swung the mace at the tree, in view the mace took out more of the tree then it would if he hadn't used lighten on the tree but that didn't seem to be enough "do you want more power?" the feminine voice from his dream echoed in his head, he glance left, right, then turned his head to view behind him; yet no one was there. kenichi was mistaken about where the voice came from "who doesn't want more power, everyone has something or someone they want to protect!" he replied calmly still searching the area for the source of the voice "there we go, you seemed to mature a lot since the last time i showed my mind. you don't look like the young kid who puked at the sight of blood anymore, i wonder does your stomach still spin thinking of the day you saw the those bodies laying in the alleyway." the words started to dig deep as she brought up events from years, stuff that he buried deep inside his brain had begun to resurface.

 

slowly the strength he used to hold himself up had vanished, as he was brought to his knees by the mere words of the story only. kenichi began to replay the event in his mind, his eyes weren't strong enough to see down the alley which held danger "don't go down there, you'll regret it!" he spoke to a his younger self who preformed handsigns, then marched down the alley. the sound of water being left on echo in his head, he bugan examine sound he heard from the so called water. every drop seem to get lighter and take a few second longer as it continued to run down to the ground "drip" the sound of the blood falling onto the ground echoed in his head, until it lightly faded into null. this was the only chance kenichi would have to come back to his senses, yet he missed his chance to leave out of the mental world his mind created "drip" the blood fell from the the body once again, but even within the distance of forty feet he could now smell the blood that he once stood face to face with. the area seemed to brighten up as the surrounding area only had the crimson red color which blood possessed, this caused him google play glance at his hands within them held the blood of random strangers, this caused kenichi to let out a scream; which drawn him back to the place he had trained at. "what do you need power for?" the feminine voice asked the question, this caused kenichi to be released from his self harm mental state. "i want power..." kenichi stated, his eyes at the ground as he gripped the ground,  gathering dirt into his hands, before he spoke once again "i want power to-" he paused before glaring at the tree in front of him, his eyes glared at the tree, the words flowed out of his mouth smoothly  "i want power to find my mom, i want more power so i can bring in enough money to keep her here in haka, but i can't find the power i need to even consider retrieving her." if one looked into his eyes it'd make you shiver with how determine he was to retrieve his mother, but her questions didn't end there, she had more enough that he might actually lose his mind just imaging exactly how much the number was. "who has the right to make rules, and give orders?" the feminine voice questoned, this brought kenichi to an awkward silence, as the answer to that question was obvious, within seconds of the silence he finally decided break it. "that be the goikage!" he glance towards the left, then the right, he waited for the female voice to tell him that he was entirely correct "hmm, then let me rephrase my question, who has the right to become the goikage?" the question seemed just as easy as the previous one, but he withheld his answer for a couple of seconds to see if there was a point to rephrase the question, was there something special she was trying to get at; maybe it was something simple "only the strongest of the alliance are capable of being given the title of goikage!" He answered, giving the feminine voice something to chuckle "you are weak, your mother has been taken by those who are stronger than you." she stated making sure she rubbed in the fact that he was weak and he needed power, something that she could easily grant him "what if I told you the power you seek, it's something I could achieve you if you give me the chance. think about it, we could go to the epsilon republic and get her from their greasy palms." the words she spoke made sense, epsilon was the most financially strong places in the world, little to no one who could compare to the amount of money they rake In legally. it was true that they took his mother from him, all he really needed to do is to rank up and take higher rank missions whom will eventually cause him to rake in the coins after, possible beating everyone who stands in his way financially. "who are you, where are you, and how do you plan to give me this power I seek?" kenichi asked, as he took one final search before looking down to the mace. "my name is Bloodstained Mace, well, that what I'll let you call me until you get strong enough to call me by my given name, I've been around you for the last four years, so, you really want the power. we'll have to make a contract, once there contact is made there are special conditions that I can only tell you after the completion  of the contract." she explained,  it seemed simple enough, but kenichi needed to know what was needed for this contract. "what do you want to do for my end of the contact, if you are around me for four years why are you just now speaking to me?" kenichi questioned the mace but it didn't quite appear to him that the actual reason was closer than it seem. several months ago his sword had broken it by mistake, he was trying to lighten the the weight of the swing of the sword, yet complete failed in doing it. he'd lighten the sword causing it to break at the speeds kenichi would try to swing it, the sword crumbled to nothing but dust. "you randomly decide to pick me up recently, so I wasn't quite sure how to approach you. the contract is done by you feeding me an A-rank of any energy of your choice, in return I'll hold up to half as much as you can; you will be able to pull from me at anytime you want. this mean you'll be able to use more chakra than anyone else at your rank meaning you'll have twice as much as them." obviously the last part was a lie, but in order to catch a fly, you have to give it honey; and that's exactly what the Bloodstained Mace planned to do. if anyone had seen his eyes, they light up nearly being as determined as an ocean to drag someone into it "fine I'll do it." kenichi stated placing both of his hands against the mace, he slowly pour an A-rank of chakra into the mace. as this went on kenichi glared deeply into the mace, waiting til he knew for sure he'd given an A-rank of chakra "with that the contract has been formed, I'll lend you my strength" wroth that kenichi stopped giving chakra, then whipped his forbear from any sweat that seemed to be there. "let's work hard together!" Kenichi smiled and gripped the mace into his hands. kenichi found himself back at the alley way once more, this time he decided to enter the alley way with his former self,  the thought of blood actually didn't bother him as much compared to the younger him, who sat in front of the blood puking his soul out. the current kenichi lightly pat his hand against the back of the younger him, once he speed puking they both reached for the mace, despite the fact the bodies and blood were still on the floor the area seemed much bright then it did the time before. kenichi had returned to reality, it seemed that nothing changed from before, but that was up to him to decide and not anyone else. kenichi stood to his feet "you better keep your promise or I'll turn you into dice metal and have you scraped for parts!" Kenichi threaten as he prepared to practice on his heavy gravitas marking, he pushed to make it the mace two ranks stronger, then swung it wildly at the tree; this caused an arc to be left within the tree. kenichi saw this, suddenly turning around and head back to his house. He quickly marched into the direction of his house, as he knew he would have been cleaning that mess up for days. Once he arrived at his house, standing from the outside one could tell that the lights were on; his father had finally came back from the meeting held by those of who's position in the clean weren't as important.
