Chapter: What A Test Im Gonna Fail!
The next day at training ground three, Maikeru, Antonii and Megami arrived wearily at 7:00 sharp. Maikeru had tried to skip out on breakfast again that morning, so he had cuts all over himself already from when he dove into a briar patch to evade his devoted mother. Though as everyone knows, it was a vain attempt, as a clump of thorns is no match for the Byakugan's piercing gaze. Therefore, he had been force-fed French toast and wheat grass.
They spotted Aranami, who was dosing on a slab of lichen-covered rock. As the three approached him, his eyelids fluttered, and he rolled over. "Five more minutes," He whined as Antonii prodded him.
"Get up!" Maikeru grunted heartlessly and kicked Aranami's sleepy ass with his foot. "I didn't dive into a rosebush and eat the essence of my lawn to be shooed away," Megami giggled a little. Aranami sat up.
"Unngh, okay, just sit your hyperactive ass down." He konked Maikeru in the head. Antonii and Megami sat down next to him.
Aranami squeezed the skin of the bridge of his nose with his index and middle finger in an exasperated fashion.
"So what do we have to do, Sensei?" Maikeru asked, instantly recovered. Aranami took out a painted, blood-red kunai from the holster on his right leg, and threw it into the ground for them to see.
"You three must get this kunai away from me by noon today. If you fail, you will be sent back to the academy." The three of them gasped.
"Why?!" Megami asked, flabbergasted (that's a fun word, isn't it? Heh... flabbergast heheh...).
"We already passed our test at school, we can't be put back in the academy! Give me one good reason why we should be sent back!" Maikeru said indignantly.
First of all, this will teach you that if you don't listen to the leader, there will be consequences. In this case, repeating all of your schooling. Second, it is for me to test your skills and cunning, and begin to help you play to your strengths." Aranami explained matter-of-factly.
"But– you cant– I– you–" Maikeru was silent for a few seconds. "Actually, those are pretty good reasons..." he muttered to himself, just loud enough for Antonii and Megami to hear.
Aranami pulled the kunai from the ground and twirled it on his right index finger. As he did so, he reached into his belt pouch and drew out a length of twine. He bit it, and tied it to the red kunai, which he then tied to his left hip. "You have until noon. If you do not come at me with killing intent, you haven't half a chance of capturing the knife. You start now,"
"You're going down, Sensei!" "Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!" Maikeru and his clone burst as they bolted in at Aranami the second he said to start. Meanwhile, Megami and Antonii dispersed into the surrounding landscape.
"You know, it's really not the wisest idea to go for an all-out frontal attack," Aranami said coldly as he met Maikeru's and his clone's punch with an open palm to catch the punches. He grabbed the young Genin by the wrist and twisted it sharply, eliminating the clone and forcing Maikeru to the ground in a yelp of pain.
From Aranami's side, Antonii wordlessly formed his father's classic, iron fist stance. He sped at Aranami silently and leapt into the air. "Konoha Sennpu!" He barked, and swung his leg quickly at Aranami. The Jounin easily deflected the blow with his hand, and grabbed Antonii's leg at the ankle.
Maikeru seized the opportunity to pull a kunai from his holster and slash the hand that was holding him whilst Aranami's other hand was full.
The initial shock from the pain was enough to make Aranami release Maikeru's hand out of reaction.
"Take this!" Maikeru yelled as he jumped away. He and Megami chucked a handful of shuriken at Aranami, forcing him to also let go of Antonii.
He easily dodged the metal blades, which buried themselves into the ground in front of him. "I'll admit, kid, you do know how to get yourself out of a tight fix." Aranami congratulated Maikeru. Maikeru did not smile.
He's off guard I'll get him now! Antonii thought to himself. "Bunshin no Jutsu!" Three bunshin appeared behind him, and ran at the red kunai just tauntingly dangling fifteen feet away. The Bunshin grab and hold Aranami. "Doton: Bunshin tame daichi no Jutsu!" (Bunshin to earth) The Bunshins turned to stone and secured their grip on the lazy instructor.
"Nice move, now what do you plan to do?" The white haired sensei asked.
"This!" Antonii throws a multiple kunai at the stationary Aranami, but of course, once they hit, he poofed away into a log.
"Oh... well... sht." Antonii swore under his breath as Aranami reappeared in front of Megami.
"Eeep!" She squeaked, and gave in to her human reaction. She punched him in the face.
"Aa!" Aranami's hand clutched his nose. It was then that he felt himself burning. Looking around, he realized that he was no longer in training ground number three, but on fire in the middle of a vast, open plain. He screamed loudly as he felt the flames lick away at his flesh, and then desperately brought his fingers into a seal. "KAI!" He bellowed, and the genjutsu was disabled. He looked left and right, but Megami had gone.
"Grrrr I didn't want to use this jutsu but I guess I will have to!" Maikeru muttered to himself as he made the dog, monkey, boar and then ram hand seals. It uses too much chakra... "Fuuton: Fuuton Dageki No Jutsu!" (Wind Style: Wind Strike Technique) Wind patterns formed around Maikeru's hands and feet then, he ran with all haste and increased speed from the wind at his feet to punch with his right hand at Aranami. Aranami, using his left hand, moved just in time, pushing Maikeru's hand to the side to it wouldn't hit his face.
Maikeru landed on the ground with a resounding 'thud'. It took Aranami a moment to realize his face was still cut, even though he had deflected the blow . "You see when I use this jutsu even if I miss my punch, kick or a shuriken misses by a little it will still hurt you! It's like a hundred little razors orbiting my fist."
"Very interesting." Aranami said as Maikeru dashed in for another punch, but Aranami back- flipped away. Maikeru chucked two kunai at him. "Suiton: Suiton Tate No Jutsu." (Water Style: Water Shield Technique) Puddles everywhere jumped up and formed a barrier in front of Aranami, stopping the projectiles, and then splashing to the ground with the knives.
Maikeru dispersed his jutsu, and flipped through the dog, monkey, boar, then bird hand seals. "Raiton: Raiton Dageki No Jutsu!" (Lighting Style: Lighting Strike Technique) Maikeru appeared behind Aranami with kunai in hand, and darted ahead to flank him. Maikeru swiped... Maikeru missed. Aranami kicked him away.
"Let me guess that technique increases your speed." Aranami noted.
"Yep." Maikeru replied.
"Maikeru-kun, nice job but look out!" Megami gasped.
"Huh?" Maikeru asked stupidly as Aranami finished a set of hand seals. "Doton: Shouaku No Jutsu!" (Earth Style: Holding Technique) The earth Makieru was standing on seemed to turn to liquid, then abruptly splashed up and secured him tightly up to the neck, leaving only his head exposed.
"Damn it!" He swore.
"Maikeru-kun look down!" Megami commanded as she hurled a kunai with an explosive tag into the air. Aranami watched, half interested. The weapon hit the earth just far enough away so the earth binding Maikeru cracked and fell apart into a collection of shards of cracked dirt.
"Yah we did it." Antonii gladly proclaims.
"Huh? No you didn't. The kunai's still right... what the–" Aranami found the twine on his waist cut.
"I missed that kunai swipe on purpose!" Maikeru exclaimed. "I swiped the string that was connected to the red kunai, and Megami-chan picked it up when we moved away!"
"WOOT!" Antonii cried victoriously as he and Maikeru glomped Megami, who blushed profusely at such contact with Maikeru.
Aranami shook his head, astounded. "Well, that was a very advanced genjutsu, Megami. I'm impressed. Maikeru, based on that wind attack, I'm assuming that your father is teaching you a bit of the Rasengan?" He asked. Maikeru nodded, grinning broadly. "And Antonii, that was a very interesting Doton technique. I wouldn't mind learning that myself!" He admitted. "Okay people, it looks like you're going to become ninja after all! Let's go get fried chicken!"
