"The creation of the seal was just as manageable as inputting the connection to the main body by intricately chakra-ki control and the words inscribed to the seal. I made the 'Convergence' word on my earrings since the afterimage was an exact copy of me and it's pretty near to my head which serves as the brain of the afterimage, maintaining the structure of the Chakra and Ki but at the same time, had the contact with my own main body." Yoichi was finished inscribing his seal into the Yin-Yang earrings.
The Ki and Chakra needed for the technique were minimal and almost negligible since Yoichi's brand-new tech was only dispersing faint Ki and Chakra in the air as his Chakra and Ki reserves were far bigger due to the [Lazy Accumulation] automatically absorbing and refining energies in his body.
The seal was sturdy and mighty enough to withstand the structure through his indestructible earrings. After all, the earrings were the clan's insignia.
In an instant, Yoichi's afterimage emerged from his arrangements. Fine and properly working as intended. Green patches of grass were stepped on by the afterimage, creating a solid foundation like a human.
"Can you talk?" X2 Both Yoichi on the Training Ground, mimicking each other, and after a few tries...
"HAHAHAHA, It works! I guess this is how clones work with the structure and connectivity... It stays for about 3 minutes. Kekekeke..." Yoichi felt like it was a good run.
He called his skill, the "Phantom Dispersion Technique." by discharging his Ki and Chakra out of his body through the 361 tenketsu and merging with a seal which was interconnected back to the main body.
"Ah... Hehehe, time's up." Yoichi looked back at the greenish surroundings, with the kids looking perplexed about the situation.
The time was up for today.
Yoichi could say that the harvest was pretty much great in terms of his overall agenda.
———————————————————
Around 9 AM.
"Let's go now—" Yoichi patted their heads until...
"Yoichi-kun!"
A voice could be heard in the distance, it sounded like a woman.
"Yoichi-kun!" In an instant, Yoichi glanced at the panting and sweating Ryoko with her worried expression written on her face.
'Maybe something bad happened!'
"What happened?! Are you fine?" Yoichi's serious countenance surfaced.
"Makima... Makima was harassed by three thugs and looking for compensation!" Ryoko sighed but the anxious expression never left her face.
'Haaaaahhh... That woman! I said to use the jade whenever she's in danger... Still, caring for the people huh?'
"Where are they?" Yoichi continued.
"In the center of the town!" Ryoko replied.
"I will go. As for the kids, just follow me or stay here." Yoichi vanished after his words.
"Sensei! Dad!" the children, especially Sumiko were nervous about the situation and hugged his supposedly figure.
"Ah..."
As soon as they lunged at Yoichi, the youngsters fell to the ground and passed through Yoichi's body.
"What? How's that happened?" x3
Looking back at each other, the youngsters were stunned and blinked a few more times while glancing at Yoichi's afterimage.
Ryoko was terrified of Yoichi's afterimage like it was a ghost or evil spirit in the middle of a sunny morning.
"Dad... He vanished and this ability was one of his divine powers! Let's look at Mom first!" Nodding with her speculation, Sumiko grabbed both Ryoma and Natsumi.
"Dad?!" Ryoko was confused completely.
"No time to waste, Aunt Ryoko! I will explain later!" Sumiko began running towards the center hub of the town.
———————————————————
"Hehehe, Makima. Let's have some fun! We have enough money to pay for your 'outstanding' service! HAHAHA!" On the side of the main street, a thug with two more thugs appeared to be harassing a woman in a black kimono.
"That's right! We miss those elegant curves and that sultry voice! Brother, let's just grab her!" one of the ugly thugs lecherously grinned at Makima.
"Yes, yes! Hehehe, we could have a good time with this bitch!"
As time passed by, many people were watching but had no guts to stop these thugs due to their inferior disposition in life.
These bystanders were murmuring like a swarm of bees, earning more and more attention from the public.
Glaring at the thugs, Makima clutched the Jade with trepidation and fear.
'If these ugly bastards touched me, I will send them to their maker!' Makima thought.
"Come on now! We're losing so much fun time!" the leading thug grabbed at her wrist, forcefully and tightly.
"Kuaaaakkk!" In the blink of an eye, the leading thug was blasted out of the scene as the people looked at the attacker.
"Fucking bastard! Did you just touch her? Just wait there for a moment..." Yoichi looked at the thug with a threatening voice.
"Yoichi!" Makima glanced at the familiar silhouette and hugged him tightly, still scared but the visage was brimming with safety and security.
"Are you alright?" Yoichi warmly smiled at her and patted her back.
Makima merely hummed, assured at the ongoing situation.
"Oi oi oi! You brat! What are— ARRRGGHH!" one of the thugs interjected but was interrupted by a powerful kick from Yoichi, blasting him near their leader.
The other unharmed thug was shivering in fear and apprehension, peeking at his thug friends and swallowing his saliva while clumsily preparing himself against Yoichi.
"Everyone! What's happening here?!" a commanding voice rang at the back of the crowd, 5 people wearing light armor with polearms and uchigatana walked into the scene.
"Shit, it's the constable!"
"Oh no, what would happen to this young man now? I hope he will be fine after this..."
"What a pity..."
"Heh! Does he know we have laws here?!"
At first, the crowd was pretty excited and amazed at Yoichi's dazzling performance but now... They are looking at him with some sympathy and others, contempt.
"Sir, arrest this guy! He harmed my friends and threatened us!" The unharmed thug sighed in relief, his expression becoming vile and malicious while pointing his finger at Yoichi.
"Guards, apprehend this guy! There are rules here and unlawfulness was the only thing we don't have in this town!" The second-in-command ordered his side guards in a fierce and stern tone.
"Eeeehhhh... Are you sure about that?!" Yoichi tilted his head, asking curiously and playfully.
"You dare resist the order! Cease him!" the second in command roared angrily.
The guards lunged at Yoichi's arms and tied his wrists with rope tightly while Yoichi calmly smiled at the leader of the brigade.
"Hahaha, that serves right, you brat! I will wait for the day of your release to chop your head off!" the leading thug rebuked, feeling satisfied with the outcome.
"We will enjoy our time with your lover here! Hehehehe!" the other one replied with a lustful expression, staring at Makima.
The leader of the constable was still narrowing his eyes, looking at the familiar visage and asking what was going on with the attacker's audacity until he saw the face...
'Shit! That's the guy earlier who easily defeated our leader! I need to do something!'
"Stop! Release him, now!" the leader's voice rang in the scene, commanding the guards to unleash the guy. The leader of the guards was sweating bullets and looked at the smile of Yoichi as if it were the death sentence on his way to him.
"But sir—" the second in command and side guards were completely confused about their leader's strange behavior.
"Just release him and follow my orders! Do you want to lose your job?! Ha?!" the leader's voice chimed with impatience and irritation in his mind.
"You are so lucky! This is what would happen if you irritated me." Yoichi easily snapped the rope and patted the leader's shoulder with a calm smile after he vanished in front of him.
"No—" Yoichi appeared to the front crouching thug and kicked the thug's head with so much force, that it flew and severed away from his body.
Just like a football, the thug's skull arrived at the store. ANKARA MESSI!
The atmosphere was silent for a second until the terrified cries and wailing from the crowd sounded in the center of the town.
Merchants and high-ranked officials paled at the sight of the head rolling in front of them. Some people including ordinary customers vomited in dread.
"He.... He murdered someone!"
"Mur...Murder! There's a murderer!"
"WAAAAHHHH!!!"
"Run! Run away from this devil!"
The sounds of scattering and panicking people were so horrifying while Yoichi held the neck of another thug with a smile that was not calm now... but terrifying in the eyes of the people watching the scene.
"No, no! Please! Let...me...live! I...will do... Anything!" the thug being held on his neck pleaded for mercy in front of Yoichi.
In a second, Yoichi snapped his neck and threw the lifeless body of the thug effortlessly like garbage.
Watching Yoichi instantly dispose of the thugs, the unharmed thug ran away from Yoichi with life on the line while removing anything just to run away faster than him.
Snots of his nose and saliva were flowing out of his mouth... The thug's mind was filled with absolute fear like a prey running away against the apex predator.
"Do you think you can run away from me?" a voice whispered in the thug's ear, horrifying him until Yoichi clasped the thug's head and ruthlessly disconnected the skull and spine.
Then he showed the thug's head to the guards. The last expression of the thug was fear and shock from his outcome while the headless body fell to the ground as Yoichi dropped the head off.
Like a child, discontented about his Lego headpiece.
Looking at the gory scene, Yoichi's face splashed with blood and fluids from his enemies while having a smile...
The smile was eerie and dreadful.
The atmosphere was silent, there were no bystanders or other people. Just the guards standing, swallowing their saliva with anxiety and tension in their minds.
"Hmmm.. Now, who else?" Yoichi shook his hands from the blood.
