Chapter 1
"I'm doing something wrong"
power is a mystery to the person who finds it. But the power could prove too much. Death and good happen, but also does rebirth and evil. If good prevails a new evil force will rise... amd that's just how it goes.
An ancient chakra, said to destroy the whole universe, was brought to the world the first time, the hero was strong, protected by those of pure hearts, and was able to seal this dark force... But now, a thousand years later, when the chakra was released to the unsuspecting people, a man and a woman destroyed it, making a tiger and a wolf transformation.
And as the generations went on, the tiger and wolf slept, waiting for their chakra forces to be released. And when it happened, twelve years ago, a snake and a fox was thrown into the mix.
A fierce battle. Tiger and Fox VS. Wolf and Snake.
But of course, the battle was tied, one killing the other Tiger and Snake, dead... Or so it seemed.
Of course, one of these animal forces can join the good, or one can join the evil, but one thing is certain...
It won't be long before this power will release itself once more
*Kari*
I was basically in a panic.
I was late to get to school, for the second time in a row. I threw on my black shorts and purple shirt, then, untangled my long, orange hair to the best of my ability. After I put sandals on, I grabbed my lucky kunai, and left.
I ran as fast as I could, the academy being sixteen blocks away killed me for being someone who slept late.
"Kari, you're late!" Shikamaru Sensei said to me.
"Sorry" I said, standing in the doorway.
"Just get in line..." I did what I was told and slid in line.
"Why are you always late?" Daichi, the guy whom I swear wants to ruin my life, asked.
"I am not always late!" I growled, trying to keep quiet so sensei couldn't hear.
"Well, you were today" He said with a smug smile. That was the only thing that I hated about our last names being close, he-bugs-me-non-stop. "Hey Uzumaki, you have something on your shirt" I looked to where he was pointing at, he flicked my nose, hard enough to make me stumble into the table behind me.
I gripped my nose as it throbbed, peering at his black eyes.
"Do you like making just my life miserable, or others too?" I asked him.
"No, just yours" He said, closing his eyes as he waved at me.
"Kenichi Kuna..." I spun around, the silver haired boy stepped in front of Sensei.
"Kenichi and Kari sittin' in a tree K-I-S-S-" I didn't let him finish, I shoved a handful of tissues into his mouth.
He spit the tissues out and shoved one into my ear.
"Hey" I smacked his hand away.
"Hay is for horses" He said.
"Whatever" I rolled my eyes.
"Daichi Uchiha" Sensei said.
"Hope you mess up" I told him.
Of course, he didn't... He was a perfect Uchiha.
"Kari Uzumaki" I stood in front of sensei.
"Now, transform into... The only things left... are someone in this room, or a flying pig" I giggled of the flying pig.
I scanned the room and saw my best friend Kiku Inuzuka, alright, I had transformed into her plenty of times.
But of course, my chakra decides to do a different person. I did the hands signs and thought of Kiku, but instead of having light clothing, and dark, brown hair, my hair turned light blue and my clothes turned dark, gloves became prominent onto my hands.
Dang, I hated when my chakra acted haywire.
"A perfect image of Daichi, Kari, you can go back to your seat.
I slumped into my chair and banged my head sevrel times.
"I didn't know you would transform into Daichi... That was hilarious!" Krikudo Inuzuka howled, slapping his knee with laughter.
"I WASN'T trying to turn into prettyboy, I was trying to turn into Kiku..." I explained to Kiku's brother, who was a year younger than his sister.
"You should've gone with the flying pig then, huh?" Krikudo asked me. "It was my idea..." He snickered at his own joke.
'Hilarious" I bit out.
(Walking home)
"Hey, at least you passed" Kiku said with a smile.
"You passed?" Another girl, who was already genine, was standing on a tree branch.
"Yeah, we all did" Krikudo said. "Now all that's left is the shadow clone jutsu test" The girl got down from the branches. Her pink hair with silver streaks blew to one side.
"You even passed?" She eyed me.
"Of course I did!" I said with a smile.
"Kuzako owes me ten dollars" She sang proudly.
'You guys made a bet on me?" I looked at her.
"Of course we did!" Man, she was hopeless.
"Kura!" She was the older sibling of Kenichi and Kouji, the twins.
"There you are Kura..." Said a voice to our left. It was Kuzako Aburame.
"You owe me ten bucks bug boy!"
"Sis, can you keep it down?" Kouji and Kenichi walked over to us, Kiku hiding behind me.
Okay, I may have a crush on Kenichi, but it was nothing compared to Kiku's crush on him, she wanted to marry this dude.
"Yo're making too much noise" Kouji went up to his sister.
"Hey Kari" Kenichi said to me with a smile. "Hi Kiku" He looked at the girl hiding behind me. "Good luck tomorrow"
"thanks" Kiku and I said in unision. We both laughed at our unisionity. In truth, we were like sisters, raised together and helped each other. She was a little shy around strangers and people she liked, like Kenichi, and I was the loud outgoing one. And her brother was like my baby brother as well, he was more outgoing, but got himself into a lot of trouble.
"Let's get you two home" I said finally to them, putting a hand on each one of their shoulders. "Bye guys we'll see you tomorrow" I took my hand off Kiku's shoulder and waved at the group of four as we turned away.
I walked them to the house where they lived, a girl was playing in the front yard.
"Hi Isla" I said to the little girl.
"Auntie Kari!" The girl bounded to me. "Are you staying for dinner?"
"I can't tonight, sorry Is... Tell the grown-ups I said hi"
And off I went again, back to my apartment. That night I made the shadow clone jutsu handsigns, but something went wrong. Instead of making one or two, I made like twelve or thirteen. I started to panic, what was I doing wrong? Maybe I did the handsigns wrong... I looked at it fifteen times before I dispurse my first batch, and made another.
Except, it was more like twenty-five or twenty-six.
I dispursed them and started to pace.
"Shikamaru sensei is going TO KILL ME" I said to myself, biting my thumb nail.
I decided to shove my thoughts aside and eat, I went to Ichiraku's because they had the best ramen in the world. I ate five bowls of their specialty ramen before I went home.
*Daichi*
When I woke up the next morning, I did a shadow clone jutsu. I was able to make three at a time. I cooked breakfast and thought of Uzumaki's defeat. She was probably going to be late again. I imagined me getting my headband and she failing and crying in the corner, begging me to touch it.
As I walked into class though, there she was, in the back of the room, her head on the smooth surface. She was sleeping.
I snuck up on her, and when I reached her, I shook her, yelling earthquake. She shot straight up and when she noticed the ground wasn't shaking, and I was standing next to her, she growled.
"Uchiha!" She snapped at me.
"Did I scare you?" I said in a baby voice. She growled at me once more then, as soon as she saw them, went to her friends. I went to mine, Cheko and Kenya.
"It would be awesome if we were on the same team!" Kenya said happily.
"Yeah..." Cheko shoved more potato chips in his mouth.
"It would be super cool" I smiled, thinking of Kura, the cutest girl I had ever seen.
As sensei called us over to start doing our shadow clones, I saw Uzumaki get nervous. She was biting her thumb nail like she usually did when she got nervous, loose hair waved in front of her eyes. I didn't ask what was wrong, but she didn't look happy.
When it was my turn, Uzumaki bit her nail harder, the nerves getting the best of her.
I made my three shadow clones and got my headband, everything was going according to what I imagined.
Until Uzumaki made a run for it, this isn't what I had imagined, why was she running? Okay, was it that whole prank I pulled on her? No, it couldn't be...
"Can I go see if she's okay?" I asked sensei, I was really going to regret this later.
"Go ahead Daichi, if you can find her..." I turned and ran after her.
I found her crying on the academy's roof, sitting to her back towards the door, she was sitting on a bench.
"Did you get chicken?" I asked her.
"Not now Daichi" She told me.
"So you did get chicken..." She turned towards me.
"No I didn't Uchiha, I just got nervous, that's all" She was lying to me.
"You're a really bad liar..." I then looked at the headband in my hand, I tied it over my forehead and walked to her. "Too bad you won't be a ninja" I said. "I had beaten you" I was about to walk away when she stood up.
"No way am I letting you Uchiha, beat ME" She walked back to the class before me. "Sensei, is it too late for me to take my test?"
"Of course not" He smiled at her and grabbed his clipboard.
She hesitated a little but then did the handsigns. There was a puff of smoke before there were five Kari Uzumaki's.
"Woah! Who knew Uzumaki had that much talent in her?" Kenya commented.
"She did it!" Kiku and Krikudo high-fived each other.
Uzumaki dispursed her shadow clones and turned to me. She stuck out her tounge and got her headband.
"That little sneezeball" I laughed a little.
"Now..." Shikamaru sensei turned serious, he sat down on the desk behind him. "Tomorrow, all of you will be split in a group of three, you will meet in the bigger room, room 15 am I clear?"
"Yes sir!" We all said in unision.
"You are dismissed" He said. And we left.
What'cha guys think?
Right now it's a little weak, but as I get going, I'll make it better...
