《Bloody Grass》The end of a dream

"What the fuck?! How do I revert them back!"
"Ok, calm down, we can't let anyone know about this for now. Close your eyes, breath, and concentrate on your eyes, there should be a chakra flow going to them, stop it." Gisei said.
I did as he said, there really was chakra flowing to my eyes, after a few seconds, I finally figured out how to stop the flow and opened them again. "Are they back to normal?"
"Yes." Gisei confirmed, I breathed a sigh of relief "I did not recognize them, the only dojutsu that I know off are the byakugan, the Sharingan and the rinnegan, two are from Konoha but they look nothing like that, the byakugan makes the eyes completely featureless, the sharingan turn them red with 3 tomoe inside them, while the last is a Myth, no one saw it for years."
I mentally made a happy dance, I was really scared it was the sharingan, Orochimaru would've taken me to become his vessel if he learned that I had the sharingan, and I don't want that, unlike sasuke emochiha, I'm not a main character, I don't have plot armor around me.
"We'll have to see what they can do later." He grabbed a piece of his shirt and torn it off. "Here, clean your face, you are terrible to look at with those two bloody stream." I did so, a smile on my face.
"Now, that fight drained me, I'm going to sleep now. We'll talk when I wake up."
"Sure thing Grandpa/geezer." Gisei looked at us, and with that same kind smile he always did, fell asleep like a log.
While Tayuya and Gisei slept, I thought, Trying to remember every detail I knew about the anime, every Kekkei Genkai, it took me a while, but I finally remembered what they were.
The Ketsuryûgan, an almost extinct Dojutsu, that was said to rival the Sharingan in terms of genjutsu capabilities, and give the user the ability to create and manipulate blood.
I can work with that, It'll be fun to learn how to use them.
---Break---
"I know what they do." Was the first thing I said in the morning once we woke up.
"Huh?" Gisei and Tayuya said in sync.
"I discovered it this night, I kinda got frustrated that I couldn't figure out what they did so I punched the wall. It bled a little." I grabbed the plastic knife and planted it in my open palm. Tayuya cringed while Gisei looked at me worriedly.

"Look." I willed some blood to float, and made it take the shape of a Flower. I can control blood, and I tried to see if pulling out my blood started hurting me, but it doesn't look like it for now."
Gisei approached me, and bonked my forehead, I yelped, "We said not to use it, so why did you do it?" He scolded.
"Cuz I wanna learn how to use it duh. Gives me a lot more chance to live if I have a kekkei genkai." I rubbed my forehead.
"Ok, can't blame you for that." He sighed, "You said it didn't hurt you no matter how much blood you put out?"
"Nope, didn't get a lot out though, wanted to make sure no one would notice."
"Right, let's try this then, you're gonna will some blood out, I'm gonna see if something changes." I did as he said, after a good minute he finally told me to stop.
"It seems like your eyes uses chakra to create blood to replace the one you are willing out, I don't know how it really works, but my best guess is that the moment you have no more chakra, you'll start using your own blood instead. You'll need a big reserve of chakra if you want to throw big jutsus around and not die from bloodloss." He got up and looked at me and tayuya.
"Right, guess it's time to train now." Gisei said and grinned, "We missed yesterday since I had to fight, so we're gonna do twice as much today."
Tayuya and I groaned.
---Break---
Timeskip: Around a Year. ( Gisei age 41/Tayuya Age 5/Jin age 6)
It was supposed to be an ordinary day, we woke up, did our morning training routine, Tayuya went back to sleep, cursing Gisei, I meditated and trained the Ketsuryûgan abilities. Gisei taught us history and other things.
Everything was going well, until the guards announced a bad news.
"Attention to all of the prisoners, today will be Purge day!"Most of the prisonners started screaming, either in excitement or terror, the guard was making a sour face. I personally was confused, as was Tayuya.
Gisei on the other hand, was trembling. Seeing our look of curiosity he calmed down and sighed.
"Purge day is done once a year, basically, since there is not enough space they choose cells at random and everyone in them have to fight in a 1vs1 against someone from another cell, they do this for the whole day, to make space for new prisonners. Usually they do around 5 floors worth of cell. We just have to pray ours won't be chosen, and if it is, that we fight against weakers one."

Disgusting,"Then that means… We'll have to kill our opponent?" Tayuya asked.
"Yes. It's a battle to the death, they throw you in one of the 5 arena with a Kunai, and you fight until one of the two dies." Gisei replied.
That, I'll have to kill someone? Fuck that.
Gisei seemed to understand what I was thinking. "You don't have a choice Jin, it's either you kill or get killed, if you take too long, the guards kill both and send the next ones." He said, crushing my dreams.
And so it went on. I watched every fight, I watched kids get murdered, Monsters torturing their opponents, skulls getting crushed, blood splattering everywhere, limbs getting torned off. I was sick. The whole time praying we wouldn't be chosen.
Before it finally happened.
"Cell 175, you will fight against cell 193." The guard announced, "In order of the oldest to the youngest. Same rule as before, fight until someone dies, if there are less people in a cell then someone will have to fight again."
"Good luck Grandpa." I told Gisei.
Gisei's fought first, his opponent was a women in her mid-thirties, she didn't seem to know how to fight, He made short work of her, killing her before she could register what had happened.
Namely, cutting her head off.
Gisei came back and entered the cell, which mean I went next.
"Next." I followed the guards down. My hands shaking.
"Good luck kiddo." One of the two guards said, while the other just nodded to me.
Theres no turning back now, today I die, or I kill.
I wont die, No way.
My opponent entered, a man, he didn't seem special, no defining features, no part of him removed or modified, the way he held the kunai however, it was clear he knew how to use a weapon, Grandpa taught us to analyze our opponent before a fight.
"I'm sorry about this kid, I can't die now." The man said.
"S'okay, besides, I wouldn't throw me to the wolves just yet. I'm much stronger than I look like." I shrugged, my mind was a mess. I was shaking.
I'll have to kill him, put a kunai through his heart or head, hurt him.
I hate this place.
The doors locked and the light turned on.
The man ran at me, he wasn't using chakra, so not a ninja, or a weak one.
I Flew through a series of handsigns "Water style: Wild water Jutsu!" My chest grew in size and I spit out tons of water.
"What the-" the man clearly didn't expect it and took the stream square in the chest, it sent him flying backwards.
I ran towards him, making sure to enhance my muscles with chakra, Kunai in hand.
The man was starting to get up, He saw me ran at him and panicked, he threw the kunai he was given towards me, sloppy, I catched it mid run and threw it back at him.
It pierced his shoulder, he screamed in pain, holding where the kunai planted itself.
I was targetting the head.
I was on him before he could recover from the pain.
"Wait, wait, wa-" He put his hands in front of him, covered in bloods from the wound.
I didn't stop, I struck where is heart is.
"Ack." He spewed blood everywhere, I could feel some of it slowly dripping on my skin and impregnating my clothes. I could feel his bloody hands on my shoulders, as he tried to weakly push me away. I could see his eyes fading as he died.
He fell lifelessly on the ground. The Kunai still sticking out of his chest. I turned around, my head low. I had killed someone. I had willingly taken the life of someone.
I walked back to the cell, the guards following me, I spared a glance at Tayuya, she made a forced smile, clearly, she didn't want to have to do it either.
Grandpa hugged me.
We watched as Tayuya had to kill another kid, as he begged her to not hurt him, as he begged to leave him alone, as he screamed when she struck to his chest, we watched as his body fell to the ground.
Tayuya came back, she ran at us, Grandpa hugged her tightly too.
"It's alright, It's alright." Grandpa held us close, Tayuya was silently crying.
So was I, but thi will be the last time, I'll be stronger than that, so that it won't happen again.
That night, none of us slept. The visage of the man as I pierced his heart, the blood flowing, his lifeless body, They all haunted me everytime I closed my eyes.
That day, I finally understood, this isn't a story, this is life.
I hated it.

Across the Realms [Dropped]
Disclaimer: I'll leave this on here for anyone to read. The last time I uploaded a chapter was nearly a year ago, and to all the readers who still kept their trust in me after I came back from my umpteenth hiatus, I am sorry. I will not carry on writing this; I started off without the correct foundations of a novel, nor commitment to fully finish it and I do not want to lie to you all once again. Maybe one day, I may decide to re-write the novel, with a new basis or at least a comprehensive starting point with many of the narrative errors cleared up; but, till then, this is goodbye. And, once again, thank you for the motivation you gave me. Even now, I see many emails come through with people commenting. Goodbye. A child blessed by the Astral. An unprecedented destiny. Watch his path, as he marches up the stairway of Heaven. A March of a Sovereign. [Adventure, Wuxia, Martial Arts, Fantasy] This is a Qihuan novel; it has eastern and western fantasy elements. More often than not in Xianxia or Xuanhuan there is a severe lack of character development, being a western writer I'm changing that. My characters, from my totally unbiased view, feel fleshed out and actually have emotions. This is my first attempt at a novel, I'm writing as a means to better convey my thoughts. I will, hopefully, steadily improve chapter-by-chapter. I'm very open to feedback and constructive criticism. As one can see this is a cultivation novel, so you know how this goes. I've decided to jump-start the whole rags-to-riches scenario. He is strong from the start and is given the utility to do so. *The cover art is not my own, all rights reserved to the owner. I will take it down if necessary. *The style of the recent chapters is comparatively different than Chapter 1.
