A "bad direction"...
He lets out a sigh. A look of concern took to his face. So much has happened since he had last seen either of his Sensei. He needed to tell her. He needed to finally get some of this weight and concern off of his chest. Why did he enjoy it? Why did he find pleasure in take the lives of people. Did he end up going down a bad direction? Was he...
"Asuka-Sensei..." He looked over to Kiriyomi and Nova and stopped. He wanted, no, he needed to tell her. He raised his right hand, a technique she had seen at least once before during their class and that Kiriyomi witnessed and experienced during their mission together. Extending his fingers up he would connect his ring finger downwards to tap the tip of his thumb. Yamanaka Style: Third Eye Blind. His eyes locked onto Asuka's.
`Asuka-Sensei... I think... I think there might be something wrong with me.` A telepathic connection would be made between Shusuke and Asuka so that Nova and Kiriyomi would not be able to hear what he had to say. Turning his hand from a vertical to a horizontal positioning would shift the jutsu to Yamanaka Style: Third Eye Awakened.
He looked over to Kiriyomi and Nova again. "Asuka-Sensei, how does one repair what's broken?" Uncharacteristically of Shusuke, at least from what Kiriyomi may have seen. He looked back towards his sensei. `That wasn't the only time that... that I found myself enjoying taking someone's life...` The Yamanaka continued mentally.
Shusuke looked down in what almost appeared to be shame. "I want to help lead this next generation but I don't want them to take the wrong path neither. I don't want to lead them down the wrong direction, but if someone like you feels like they can't do it, then what chance do I have of even getting close to doing that?"

"Having fun?" Shusuke asked while standing on top of the nearby building, with barely a scratch on him. As the Leader looked back to where they thought the Academy Student was before they would realize they had just stomped one of the two lackeys to near death. "Why I-" The surviving lackey said before being cut off as he turned back to see Shusuke, mid air with a blade approaching his eye quickly. Connecting his feet to the enemy's chest Shusuke would pierce into the eye socket of his enemy, forcing his body back and down into the wall behind him. Shusuke would leave this small blade as he pushed back and flipped away from his enemy.
His gaze shifted to look at the leader, a second blade was pulled from another sheath and then a third. Crossing his arms in front of him Shusuke was ready to end this. Without saying a single word, the two shinobi darted forwards and at each other. A clanking sound of metal could be heard echoing away from this road. They seemed evenly matched, that was until Shusuke began to shift his fighting style. Tossing a dagger into the air he would grab a fourth and sink it into the enemy's thigh. Letting go of the blade he would grab the air born one before sinking it into the enemy as well. This was effective. A series of blows and Shusuke would drop all of his blades into this enemy's joins and limbs, causing him to fall to his knees.
Pushing back Shusuke would grab the handle of his father's blade. He took a moment to pause. He could feel his storm energy channeling into his blade. He could feel the air around him fill with a positively charged ocean of ions, and he could smell the negatively charged ions that swarmed his enemy, He wants to, no... He needed to let loose. Like a bolt of lightning his body was forced to move across space and what felt like time. Pushing forward he pulled his blade as he darted through the air.
Returning the blade to its sheath, the boy's body began to slide across the ground as his feet tried to slow his trajectory. He let out a sigh, panting for air. For a second there was peace, but the sound of the enemy's head hitting the ground brought Shusuke back into reality. Looking at his enemy he saw numerous blades locking him into a pin cushioned pose. This... This was something new. This was something he needed to practice more.

Pushing himself out of the dubris he sent his illusory blades spinning around him like the rings on distant planets. Flipping into the air to flip over the large man he made a series of cuts and blows to his skin before wrapping around behind him to continue the Steelwind Strike maneuver he had been practicing. This was until Shusuke realized how confident he was getting. Itsuki-Oyakata turned quickly with a sweeping kick catching Shusuke off guard and causing his body to loose connection with the ground before a heavy blow was struck into this gut, causing the young Yamanaka to be sent soaring back through the nearby trees, shattering one of the trunks on his trajectory. Hitting and sliding across the ground Shusuke could feel internal bleeding and his lower ribs where fractured. Taking a staggered breath he realized instantly that the Genjustu he was concentrating on faded as he nearly lost consciousness. As he looked up the man was grinning before him.
"Well well well... What do we have here?" The man cracked his knuckles before beginning his way to Shusuke slowly. "This is the difference between the spoiled little shits like you who live in luxury within the walls of Konohagakure. You have never gone without. You have never faced true adversity. You privileged fucking child. Did you really think a kid your age would be able to stop someone as powerful as me? Didja?! The absolute arrogance. The n-"
Then silence.
The world turned upside down for the man in an instant.
That was when the illusions faded.
Shusuke was no longer laying on the ground, but rather Itsuki-Oyakata noticed the child's legs resting on his shoulders for a brief second as Shusuke finished snapping the man's neck from atop his frame.
