07 - Heir

Falcon opened his eyes, he felt his power increase. He was in Great fighter for years and managed to advance straight to Warrior, the difference of 1 Rank was immense, a person at the peak of the fighter rank could face dozens of novices easily.

A person who just advanced, could also liquidate hundreds of people from lower rank. Besides the increase of strength, he felt his body rejuvenate, his chakra absorption became better and his physical potential too.

- There I finished. - Karou pretended to be tired after doing this, he looked at the patriarch who was without expression. - Grandpa, are you okay?

The patriarch was very happy, he ignored Karou's question and hugged him as hard as he could.

- Grandpa! You are suffocating me!

- Sorry, I just got emotional, Karou from now on you will be my heir, the future patriarch of the clan! - Karou was surprised by this, but to have the whole clan under his control would be something good. - With this increase in my strength I will challenge Reito, I will prevent him from speaking anything!

- Grandpa, please, I made a deal with Reito and I plan to keep it!

- But Karou... - When seeing the serious expression of his grandson, the patriarch can only retreat. - Sunflower is one of the most talented young people in town, with her talent released probably the most talented at this moment, I will invest all the resources of the clan to help him!

- Thanks Grandpa, do you have any other beast core similar to the one you gave me? - Karou was really grateful.

- Actually no, that was the core of a master Rank beast, it took the sacrifice of hundreds of clan warriors to kill it, it was our greatest treasure.

Karou was surprised, his grandfather had given him a higher level core available, but he was sad, with another of these cores he could buy one of the 7 swords belonging to the swordsmen of the mist.

His grandfather talked some more time, he said that the change was already ready, soon he would live in this room which belonged to the patriarch himself, there would be a meeting in the clan at night, which Karou should attend.

After his grandfather left, Karou saw his amount of points. After releasing the legacies the points stopped being counted in quantity, now it was more like an energy tank that could be exchanged within the system for something similar energy.

The jutsus were the most modified, they were completely released, it was necessary only one thought for the techniques to appear in your mind, of course there were requirements to learn the majority.

- I need to go back to training. - Karou went back to exercise, by absorbing the Chakra which was inside the core the number of clones he could create increased to 20 and he still had enough Chakra to spend, that means 20 was the limit for the jutsu clone of the shadow.

It was time to learn its evolved version, Jutsu multiclones of shadows.

I then started the learning process, sat down on the floor and started to circulate the Chakra, after many attempts had not yet learned, it seemed that the release of Chakra to create more than 20 should be much greater, so I went back to train the Eight Gates.

At night a familiar voice called me

- Young master... the patriarch awaits you. - Karou knew who he was, he was his servant.

- I'm coming. - In the meantime, Karou had sent a clone to create new clothes. The clone this time created an outfit identical to Neji's after the jump in time.

Leaving the room, the servant faced Karou again.

- What was it this time?

- Sorry young master, your clothes always surprise me.

The servant just said that and took Karou to the noble area of the clan, it was a huge meeting room with beautiful gardens around. All the servants here were well dressed, there were young masters training and relaxing around.

Entering the hall Karou looked around, there were several elders, the greatest talents of the clan were also in the hall. In the middle of the hall was the patriarch, on either side were two clan elders.

From Karou's memories he knew who they were. The elder on the left was the patriarch's brother, his name is Eagle, on the right side was the elder Hawk, a distant cousin of the patriarch.

I didn't know much about the elder Hawk, he worked well and wanted the best for the clan, but he was too favorable for his children, always trying to take resources from the clan to give to them, he also wishes that some of his children become the new patriarch.

The old Eagle on the other hand didn't try to hide it, he disobeyed the patriarch's orders and multiple times already tried to take control over the clan, he already used several resources of the clan for his own gains.

As owner of most of the business and being a Great Fighter the patriarch couldn't fight him, when entering the Karou salon he received countless looks of disgust, his father was in the salon too. One of the greatest looks was his.

- Falcon, what is this? Didn't you say you had made the decision of who would be the next heir?! - shouted the elder Eagle.

- Yes, I made my decision, Karou will be my heir.

- You are crazy! - The elder Eagle shouted and hit the table

- Eagle I've taken too much of you already! - Falcon released his heavy Chakra in the hall, Eagle also released, he had gone through a training and his strength had increased, he thought he could already face the patriarch, but to his surprise the patriarch's strength had exceeded the limit of a Great Fighter, Falcon had become a warrior.

- Falcon, I have to agree with him, his grandson is an invalid...

- Silence! Do you wish to go against the patriarch?

- It's not that, be sensible Falcon!

The patriarch and the elders started an argument.

- Grandpa! You can stop this.

Karou entered the discussion, at that moment the eyes of everyone in the hall turned to him, no one thought Karou should get into an argument among the clan members.

- Moleque you dare to speak in this hall! - Shouted the elder Eagle.

Falcon was prepared to discuss with Eagle again, but Karou spoke first

- How dare you talk like that to the next patriarch! - shouted Karou confidently.

The old man couldn't contain himself anymore, he appeared in front of Karou extremely fast and tried to hit him, but at this moment the patriarch also moved.

The patriarch would use his standard jutsu, but another jutsu appeared in his mind, it was like an evolution of the snake, a much more powerful blow.

- Water style. Water dragon jutsu!

A giant water dragon appeared in front of Eagle, After receiving the blow Eagle flew out of the room the dragon's impact shocked him against a wall and pressed him there until the water pressure passed.

He fell to the ground, spitting water and blood, two of his sons came to his rescue.

- Take the elder Eagle away! Let this serve as a warning to all who go against my orders! - Shouted Falcon.

- Falcon think well, our enemies will see this as a weakness of the clan, their strength is great, but against hundreds you will not be able to resist. - Hawk spoke.

- Was that a threat?! - asked the patriarch.

- Grandpa! Let me take care of it, I challenge anyone my age to combat, I will prove my worth! - Said Karou.

- I accept! - Shouted one of Hawk's grandchildren, he was a young muscle.

- Grandpa please leave, I'll take care of him. - Falcon was afraid, but decided to trust Karou.

Soon only the two of them were there, Hawk's grandson came running towards Karou, Karou moved his Chakra.

- Jutsu Clone of shadow.

Karou created two clones identical to himself, Falcon and the others were surprised by it, Karou stood in the middle of the two clones that so much an impulse threw him forward, with a flying Karou defeated the young man with only one blow.

- He is already an apprentice. - Someone whispered in the hall.

- Anyone else want to test my strength?!
