Chapter 29: The Bunny Fists of Terror and the slippery Mummy part-2
"Twin Lion Fists!" I shouted.
Blue chakra flared around my hands. But instead of the roaring, majestic lions of the Hyuga clan, the chakra formed into two round, fluffy, lop-eared shapes. They had cute little tails.
[System Notification: Skill Activated: "Bunny Fists." Lethality: 5%. Adorableness: 100%. Sticky Foam Capacity: Maximum.]
The crowd murmured.
"Are those... rabbits?" someone asked.
"Is she going to cuddle him to death?" another laughed.
Dosu's eye twitched. "You mock me? You think this is a joke?"
He slammed his gauntlet. A shockwave of sound blasted toward me.
"Sound Drill!"
The invisible vibrations tore up the ground.
(Dodge!)
I tried to step to the right.
[System Alert: Nervous Evasion. Skill "Accidental Counter-Attack" Triggered.]
My foot caught on a pebble.
I didn't step. I tripped.
I fell forward, face-first toward the ground.
However, because I had activated the "Bunny Fists", my hands instinctively shot out to break my fall.
My chakra bunnies hit the ground first.
SPLAT.
The "Clumsy Variant" of the technique didn't just hit hard; it released its payload. A massive explosion of white, viscous, soap-like foam erupted from my hands.
It covered a ten-meter radius instantly.
The ground turned into a skating rink.
"Whoa!" I yelled, sliding across the foam on my stomach like a penguin.
I was sliding directly toward Dosu.
Dosu saw me coming. He saw the wave of foam.
"What is this?! Soap style?!"
He tried to jump back. But the foam was faster. It washed over his boots.
Dosu's feet lost all traction.
"Nani?!"
He slipped. His legs flew up into the air. He hung suspended for a moment, a look of pure horror on his face.
I, meanwhile, was still sliding. My trajectory was locked.
I crashed into him.
My head hit his stomach. We both spun out of control, sliding across the arena floor in a tangled mess of limbs and bubbles.
[System Alert: Contact Made. The foam has high lubricity. Friction is now zero.]
We spun toward the arena wall.
BAM.
We hit the wall. The impact was jarring.
I was fine, thanks to the Indestructible Leotard under my clothes.
Dosu, however, was in trouble.
The foam had soaked into his leather coat. It had soaked into his belts. It had soaked into the duct tape.
The "Clumsy Variant" foam had a secondary property: it dissolved adhesives.
As Dosu tried to stand up, he slipped again. He grabbed my shoulder for support.
I tried to push him away.
"Let go!" I cried.
My bunny-fist hand (still active) shoved his chest.
The sticky foam grabbed his heavy leather coat.
I pulled my hand back.
SCHLORP.
The sound was wet and disgusting.
Because the floor was slippery, and the coat was heavy, and the buckles were lubricated by the foam... Dosu slid out of his coat.
And his shirt.
And, tragically, his suspenders failed.
Dosu went flying backward, propelled by the force of my push and the lack of friction. He slid across the arena like a curling stone.
He came to a stop in the exact center of the stadium.
He was lying on his back. He was covered in white foam. He was missing his coat, his shirt, and his pants were down around his ankles.
He was wearing... rubber ducky boxers.
The crowd stared. The Hokage stared. The Kazekage (who was secretly Orochimaru) stared.
"..."
"..."
"MY PANTS!" Dosu screamed, his voice cracking. "AGAIN?!"
[Ding!]
[Achievement Unlocked: "The Foam Party." You have created a slippery wonderland and stripped the enemy despite his excessive precautions.]
[Reward: 1,500 Shy Points.]
[System Comment: Rubber ducks? This man has layers.]
Genma walked over to Dosu. He looked at the foam. He poked it with his foot. It was incredibly slippery.
"Can you stand up?" Genma asked.
Dosu tried. He really did. He got to his knees.
Slip.
He fell face-first into the foam.
He tried again.
Slip.
He fell on his butt.
"I cannot stand!" Dosu wailed. "It is too slippery! And I am cold!"
Genma sighed. He looked at me. I was still huddled against the wall, covered in bubbles, hiding my face.
"Winner... by incapacitation via... aggressive bubble bath... Hinata Hyuga."
The crowd erupted. But this time, it was laughter. Roaring laughter.
"Did you see that?!" Kiba howled, clutching his stomach. "She turned the Chunin Exams into a water park!"
"Unbelievable," Neji muttered from the infirmary window. "Her style is... incomprehensible."
I crawled out of the arena on my hands and knees, trying not to slip on my own jutsu.
....................
I fled to the waiting area. I wanted to disappear. I put on my Glasses of Invisibility, hoping they would work.
"Hinata!" Naruto grabbed me in a bear hug. "That was hilarious! You slipped him right out of his clothes! Is that a secret jutsu?"
"It... it is the Bunny Fist," I whispered, my soul leaving my body.
"So cool," Naruto grinned.
Suddenly, the air in the arena changed.
The next match was Sasuke vs. Gaara.
But Sasuke wasn't there.
"Where is he?" the crowd murmured.
Just as the timer was about to run out, a swirl of leaves appeared. Kakashi and Sasuke stood there. Sasuke looked different. He was wearing black.
"Sorry we're late," Kakashi said, eye-smiling. "We got lost on the path of life."
The match began. It was terrifying. Sasuke had learned Lee's speed. He used the Chidori.
Gaara screamed. He started to transform.
And then... the explosion happened.
Feathers began to fall from the sky.
Genjutsu.
"Everyone, wake up!" wait, no, actually everyone just fell asleep.
"Dispels!" Sakura shouted, waking Naruto.
I felt my eyelids get heavy.
(No. Not now. I can't sleep. The System...)
[System Alert: INVASION DETECTED. The Sand and Sound Villages are attacking. The tournament is canceled. Welcome to the War Arc.]
[Objective: Survive. Protect Naruto. Do not trip on any debris.]
"Hinata!" Kiba shook me. "Don't sleep! We are under attack!"
Boom!
A giant snake crashed through the stadium wall.
Chaos erupted. Ninjas were fighting everywhere.
